Thunderbolt is much more than an just a display link. You can think of it as something as PCI Express, plus some USB and displayport compatibility. It can technically support everything, but might require custom drivers. I don't expect it to become a mainstream solution for "just pushing down some pixels from A to B" due to its additional complexity and cost.

I haven't followed USB4 too much. I expect it to again have multiple "levels" like USB had before. And whether some or all of those will be high definition video capable it to be seen. For USB-C video was just a mere alternate mode which switched the meaning of the wires inside the cables to displayport. Doing video over the PCI Express subsystem of thunderbolt is a different story.
Once when I was standing on the summit of a mountain on a sunny, clear day in the PNW I witnessed an astounding sight: two mountain peaks “stacked” on top of each other on the horizon, like a glitchy sprite in a video game. I thought I was hallucinating, it was insane. The “top” peak would move, warp, and distort as you walked towards lower elevation.

I found out later this is a rare mirage that occurs when a thermal inversion causes light on the horizon to bend.[0]

if this occurred at night and those mountain peaks were replaced with something like car head lights, I may have walked off that mountain as a UFO believer. I’m not saying this explains away all the UFO sightings. Only suggesting that there could be a lot rational, yet obscure, explanations that haven’t been considered.

Sure, as long as DMA or SMP isn’t involved. And I’m not sure why you are bringing up optimizations here? Out of order memory access is itself a fairly important optimization, why would it preclude optimization?
According to Wikipédia, OVH is the third largest hosting company in the world based on physical services and the largest hosting company in Europe. They are not a fly by night operation.

What is the marketing and hype that tesla is doing? they don't have paid ads. The make announcements and blog posts. Meanwhile, every other legacy car company pays millions a year in paid ads, my local dealers must spend 100k plus a year. What car has the web browser like my tesla that lets me use tesla-waze? What car has the apps that tesla does? Sure, there are some cars with a few things. No electric car until this year has the features that my 2012 tesla model s 85 has, including range but also including all the tech. 6 years ahead, some specifics:

It's 2020. We have planetary scale computers that do exaflop computations and AIs that can slaughter humans at almost any strategy game. The entire stock market is essentially driven by AI. Drugs are being developed by AI. Bitcoin is consuming more electricity than Ireland.

And yet programmers are still fucking around with move constructors, copy semantics, and host of other horseshit foisted upon us by people who think that saving a copy of a couple words of memory here and there should be absolutely foremost in programming. And then one of those designers has the gall to tell us we are all stupid for not understanding this and blowing our legs off every day.

C++ is such a waste of everyone's time. Don't even get me started on how much computational power its build system wastes.

Like the feedback of smartphones? Especially those prior to the very recent vibrate on touch

People want to type, and they want to do it quickly. Tactile feedback is nice... but most people do not engage in typing for the fun of it. The primary concerns for this are input reliability, ease & speed of setup, and learning curve.

You aren't using such a thing to replace your desktop keyboard. You're using it to replace your smartphone keyboard, and probably primarily for typing emails without having to carry things around

I think you are saying you want the industry to be better. I support that. But until we get there, the need for people who can airdrop is going to be there. Sometimes you may be dealing with a fortune 50 like customer with lots of $$$ in play or a smaller customer who needs to get something running or they are in deep trouble of going under. It's not so much about looking inwards sometimes as it is about helping customers who depend on the crap that was built to get past the bugfest the industry seems comfortable selling all to often.

The U.S. Navy's Littoral Combat Ship: A Beautiful Disaster?
I actually think it's not as bad as some make it out to be, provided grants are funded at a reasonable rate. What's changed over the last couple of decades or so is that funding rates are single digit percentages. This is the real problem. My advisor said that when he was a younger researcher, it wasn't quite so hard to get funding so he had more time to pursue independent ideas.

Even as a much younger researcher, I feel that at any point in time, I usually have a couple of worthwhile new ideas that are quite likely to pan out and will get funded someplace or another. But if I have to spend a multiple months of effort into getting them funded, I have a lot less time available to generate the next couple of good ideas. This doesn't mean that people just stop doing research, most researchers are competitive workaholics. Instead, we'll just rehash the same old stuff in a new bottle: we target newer applications and/or chase the latest fads (e.g. adversarial ML) with the goal of getting some of our old ideas reused in a new domain.

This creates a negative feedback loop because the quality of research gets worse and the people think this stuff is not worth funding and that in turn reduces funding rates even lower which causes research to get worse.

Unfortunately, scientists working on "useless" ideas wasting public money is a much too convenient bogeyman for politicians to give up.

This scheme disconnects the founders from responsibility for the outcomes.

God the politics that would arise from this would be soul crushing.

Imagine being in a company like this..., who is really the boss? Is the founder in charge, or is the line of reporting to the VC via the injected people?

The sense I getfrom a scheme like this is that the VC knows best and the founders need the brains of the VC to succeed - that dynamic I think might sink the company.

Imagine being a founder with someone injected by your investors constantly second guessing you and telling you how to do it right. Ugh....

Not necessarily. Numerical integration of differential equations is function approximation. Yes the algorithm you would use may be an “artificial” implementation of “intelligence” but it is not AI in the sense people usually think of it today.

The bigger picture is that function approximation is ubiquitous in applied mathematics, whether it be numerical calculus or statistics. Machine learning encompasses the state-of-the-art, big-compute techniques that have made statistical function approximation so much more useful.
Some papers take more than a day of work to reproduce

A large part of my job is this. Generally reproducing a paper with no code is months of work.

Doing GPT-2 from scratch is around $50k or compute time and data collection.

It's extraordinarily rare you need to do this though. I know a few who have (mostly for foreign languages) and all have been able to access TPU grants from Google or multi-node GPU clusters (which are pretty easy to find if you work in the field - plenty of vendors want someone to test their "supercomputer" for a a week)

Even a simple deep learning paper will require you to have at least a NVIDIA 1080ti if you are lucky and for NLP I needed to buy a RTX Titan ($2500 graphics card

Most of my work is in NLP and I do a large amount of it on a 1070.

> Statistics?

As in David Freedman's books?

Uh, statistics tries to be applied probability with some assumptions, theorems, proofs, results, and applications. E.g., the assumptions for regression analysis that let us use and F-ratio and t-tests hypothesis testing and confidence intervals.

Does current AI with neural networks have such assumptions and results? Maybe with the test data could develop some such results. And AI seems to have and assumption that the training data and the test data are independent and identically distributed (i.i.d.) random variables. Uh, arguing i.i.d. for some enormous collections of data might be difficult? How 'bout some concept of approximately independent? M. Talagrand has some such in his "A New Look at Independence"?

Testo Plus 247 is basically the testosterone boosting supplement that is designed to rejuvenate your sexual health and performance. The supplement focuses on restoring the testosterone production in body that regulates the biological functioning and allows you to achieve heightened sexual endurance and stamina. This enables you to last longer on bed and perform at your peak. It is the formula that also focuses on increasing the circulation of blood across penis and this is done by increasing nitric oxide levels in body. This treats ED from its root cause and prevents premature ejaculations.

What Side Effects Are There?

No side effects are reported by the users of Testo Plus 247 as it is formulated with herbs and clinically approved substances which cause no harmful impacts on your health. But users are required to ensure consuming the formula in prescribed doses to avoid the harmful effects of overdosing. Apart from the overdosing effects there are no side effects associated with the formula and hence you need to consume it as prescribed.

Hi, fellow HN readers. My friend and I are building the same service where user can choose a widget of their choices (as mentioned in some comments, we think this idea is going to be bottlenecked by the # of integrations), drag and drop, and resize on the screen.

When the company I was working for was small, we had ssh 2fa via duo security, and used g suite, with mandatory 2fa, and got as much as possible set to do SSO via g suite. G suite isn't great, but there are/were a lot of hooks to login with it, so that was nice; and these days, it has a sane way to force 2fa (when I did it, setting the org to mandatory 2fa meant your new users couldn't login, because they hadn't set up 2fa because they couldn't login; thanks google).

We self-hosted git though (using gitolite for access control), running servers was a core competency for the team, so having a little baby server on the side that just dealt with text files for 50-100 people wasn't a big deal. It was running on a mac mini at the CEOs house until he forgot to pay his cable bill once and we couldn't push code for a day.

Nail-biting stuff - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7Ix69sCFahw
This article seems to be interpreting any attack on "toxic" masculinity as an assault on masculinity in general.

Things we consider "toxic masculinity" are (for example)

* Sexism and misogyny - that is women are less than or inferior to men, and should be focused on serving them.

* Violence is a reasonable response to being upset

* Men who aren't sufficiently "masculine" (often defined in terms of the above), are also lesser

* Women who aren't sufficiently "feminine" need to be put in their place (understand who's in charge, and who they should serve)

Are there a few idiots who go beyond that? yes. Just like there are idiots who go bizarrely far on any other topic.

But attacking toxic masculinity is not attacking masculinity. It's not attacking men and boys.

If you feel attacks on toxic masculinity are attacks on you fathers/husbands/sons maybe there should be some thought about what about their behavior overlaps the above, and whether you think that's ok?
Oh, sorry! That was a cut off description from the example email I get sent.

SSO probably involving SAML tied to a central “source of auth truth” like LDAP or G Suite or an AD/office365. when someone leaves you kill them in 1 place and access is removed everywhere. bonus points if you tie in a higher layer 3rd party auth API offering like onelogin/centrify/etc that your internal apps can use.

edit to add costs: a small company can do this for 3-5 bucks/user/month. that kind of cost is doable for a small shop, and worth it.
data is the new oil!
I unironically love this code. We used it as a starting point (or rather, the same design; we wrote in Go) for reversing challenges at our last startup, symbolically evaluating the stack machine bytecode to generate AVR.

The trick to reading it:

* next() is the lexer

* expr() is a precedence-climbing expression parser

* stmt() parses statements and generates code

* main() has the virtual machine loop.

Isn’t this also one of the common reason why startups fizz out burning unnecessary capital too early? Grow grow grow at all expense.

No.

For one thing this ignores image recognition, which is probably the most successful field for neural network deployments.

And most modern NLP is "download all the written text on the entire internet, filter it for the good stuff (somehow), throw it into a neural network that is bigger than anything that has been successfully trained before, and wait a week before you can see if it worked". I wouldn't describe it as simple.

For coding I've found the best ultrawide resolution is 3840 x 1600, the extra vertical space is much more impactful than adding more horizontal space (a 38" ultrawide can already do 3 columns very comfortably, adding more doesn't help in my experience)

I'm in the middle of a rewrite. It's very challenging, but the alternative is worse (a sinking ship). My lessons learned:

1. Do it sooner
2. Get full commitment from stakeholders
3. Agree on feature freeze
4. Get it done quickly
5. Don't over promise, esp about the timeline
6. Focus on delivering big/important items first (MVP)
7. Appoint a benevolent dictator, don't assemble a committee to avoid second-system syndrome
8. Have test scenarios ready (black box)

Unfortunately they all depend on another, e.g. the longer you wait for rewrite, the harder it will be to finish it (feature creep).

I will write a blog post when it's done successfully, otherwise I will hide under rock.
A decent workaround would be to have 2 clipboards. The regular untouched one and the special one. Then when you paste, apps which only take plain text will grab the regular one and apps which accept formatted copying will grab the special clipboard but also provide a "paste as plain text" so the user gets what they want every time.
Here's the logic: If space launches are expensive, you spend more on your satellite to make it worthwhile. Give it more features, etc. Then spend even more to make it extremely reliable, because replacing it would also be expensive (both the launch and the hardware itself). If launches are cheap and routine, you can just launch a cheap simple satellite for each type of sensor you want, and even if it fails you can launch backups (or just activate stand-bys already in orbit). You can even aggregate the sensor data from a swarm of smaller satellites to generate the view of a single large virtual telescope, potentially bigger than anything you could construct on the ground.
As well as disabling most of the internet. It makes more sense to turn off the bad apis individually and block known tracking domains.

> My point is, you can basically use the term AI to justify virtually anything when it comes to the value of software, which just makes articles like this not valuable at all.

The article has SOME value!!!! E.g., a nice list of what can go wrong!

I won't defend the article or AI, but the article did at least hint at what it meant by "AI" -- training from data or some such. Or, one might say, large scale empirical curve fitting justified from its performance on the test data (there are some questions here, too, i.e., maybe some missing assumptions).

So, it appears that the article was relatively focused on what it regarded as "AI" and did not fall for the hype practice of calling nearly any software (from statistics, applied probability, optimization, simulation, etc.) AI. Uh, is the prediction of the motions of the planets and moons in our solar system from differential equations and Newton's laws "AI"? How about other applications of calculus, e.g., a little viral growth model

y'(t) = k y(t) (b - y(t))

Is that "AI"? I'd say no, but then want other work called AI should not be?

Happily the undefined behavior plan for C++ seems to be, in addition to putting all the UB definitions in one place, requiring all new proposals justify why something should be UB or UD.

E.g. no more "it requires work to say what happens" UB cop outs - if something can be defined it should be.

In this case I'd say that a value cannot be used after it is destructively moved. There is no reason for that to be UB, when the language can just refuse to compile it.
