I love tmux just for letting me run long running sessions on remote machines. I don't like tmux's window management, I want to use my terminal, scroll back with mouse, that kind of thing. Tmux integration is therefore for those of us who love their GUI terminal :)
My understanding from the discussion part, section 5 of the linked paper, is that the GAN could be modified so that the relative power of the discriminator and generator is fine tunned in order to generate hard to detect images, by giving more power to the discriminator in the final steps.
Have you ever actually tried using email via 2G? It's a mess! You can maybe send (via SMTP), but IMAP just doesn't work because it has way too much back-and-forth talking between your phone and the server, which sucks with 2G latencies, and because it's just verbose in general, which sucks with 2G speeds.
I can play that on the Nintendo Switch in my hand. No need for the extra graphics power.

I have an incredibly good internet connection since I'm working from home, but because I only play like 2-4 hours a week I can't really justify investing in a very expensive gaming computer. I need a laptop for work, and investing in an extra platform just for those 4 hours? Stadia might be a very good compromise for me, and I think there are quite a few others like me out there, especially in the youngest generation who mostly use mobile in the first place.

Weird thing to say, considering both Windows and Linux-based systems are way more developer-friendly.

(Windows due to VS and the rest of MS resources/docs/tools, Linux due to its package management systems natively supporting just about anything you could ever need for development. For macOS to compete, you need a plethora of best-effort or paid tools that don’t come from Apple).

I would say that the article is based on a flawed premise that constraints of Gödel theorems do not apply to human mind.

The fact that some theorems undecidable in a formal system can be 'seen true' or informally proven is explainable by a simple fact that formal systems are 'step behind' intuition.

We have an intuitive grasp of matematical structures and inference and we created neat and comprehensible formal systems that tries to reflect that, but they are behind in some cases. We can iteratively improve them by adding more axioms and more general inference methods, but that is kind of futile as second Gödel theorem shows that it will never make them complete.

But there is no reason to assume that intuition is complete in the same sense. It seems likely that if we did that step enough times, we would end in situation where we couldn't progress as intuition would fail on undecidable theorems (either by being silent, or inconsistent between people, or by being incomprehensible).
Sure if you don't want modern browser features like web worker, addons, and updates.
That’s still an argument in favor of Clojure. People spend loads of time and money trying to figure out how to do such filters. If it comes for free by choosing Clojure, that’s pretty great.
What's the alternative? Buy an Android device so that not only is Google stalking you but you also pay for it?

I agree that what Apple is doing here is wrong, but the alternative is worse on other fronts like privacy which is much more problematic (to me at least) than App Store restrictions.
There is no "kind" though. "It compiles C to JS" and "it transpiles C to JS" mean the exact same thing. No added clarification is necessary, because there is just no distinction between the terms. On the contrary, if people think that "transpilation" has some distinct meaning, they are just being confused about what compilation is.
Ah, I miss Budapest. I lived there in 2015-2016, on the Pest side in Újlipótváros. So many good memories from my time there. I spent a lot of time at the Kaptár Coworking space, the Turkish baths, Hummusbar, Pampas, and so many cool cafes. I loved running along the river and the islands. I still think of the little circus music tune they played in the metro when a train was arriving. I miss the dark Hungarian sense of humor. I lived in Pécs for a while too. I definitely think about returning and spending more time there.
that is argument is a strawman. The general WhatsApp user-base will never watch a tech talk on _any subject_ for the same reason somebody with a driving license will usually not watch videos about how a combustion engine works.

OP is well respected in the infosec community and the fact that he gets attacked and downvoted here tells more about the HN community's ignorance about something that should actually be muscle-memory for anyone who works in Tech. Many commenters here seem to just shovel JSON from A to B in their day jobs, so no surprise that this thread feels more like something you see on Reddit.

You're conflating evolution with education. Education also varies from one generation to the next as the educators learn from their own experience, or are imposed upon by government in curricula and standardisation.

I noticed that you have not posted any useful technical comments in the last 100+ days. Sorry I didn't keep reading.

In fact, this theory has been unprecedentedly hot recently. Star and traffic on github have risen sharply. On 2020-02-27, it was published by editor on reddit/devopsish, and other clojure communities.

My theory is written for a few people who understand Chapter 2 of the "Code Complete" and can read it without reading other chapters, not for people who cannot understand Chapter 2 and focus on other chapters.

So I have stated in the article: I will not write too many application examples or patterns. Because people who like to read such articles can't learn my theory.Because they lack imagination.

```

Imagination is more important than knowledge.

The true sign of intelligence is not knowledge but imagination.

Logic will get you from A to B, imagination will take you everywhere.

Google keeps Chrome around because the alternative is just too risky for their core business. If (for example) everyone used IE then Microsoft would be able to shut out Google's ads.

If your culture breaks because you hire a mercenary, it sounds like a shitty culture to me. Other employees will be more engaged than others, and it is a good idea to accept that from the start.

In my opinion it is good to have diverse people. Part-time people have more time-management costs and hassle, so it should be otherwise better price/quality ratio. However "lacking passion" is not a good reason to reject a candinate IMO. You should hire to get the job done.

Unions still have many monopolistic legal rights. For example, one obvious question is why UCSC students can’t form their own union and get their own contract; the answer is that it would be illegal, because if there’s a duly authorized union employers can’t collectively bargain with any other group.
Not many, slightly above 800 on average iirc. It wasn't even a bottleneck or anything, I was just curious how much impact it would make. That's also why I didn't bother trying to change it to event based with single thread or one thread per CPU core, as that would've been way more work than two afternoons so just not justified.

Agreed you're going to DRY yourselves into repeating the same naive mistakes as every trio of passionate and friendly guys who are looking to make their first hire and don't screen for whether they use the urinal without holding a cell phone

Then you'll build up all your institutional knowledge in some pillars of your company who will bounce the minute they get an opportunity offering better foosball tables and that's when you'll realize all your technical debt is baked so deeply into your processes you will have to hire a vice president to bail you out with a director in tow

Meanwhile as with most people you won't understand a gift horse as it's staring you in the mouth of a guy who's offering you a real break because you insist that work has to feel like a slog and you really want to be like the cool kids in the valley but you're not

That's what I thought too (ie. that Google is critically dependent on web browsers that don't discriminate against Google somehow, and is paying for two such browsers). But so many people say that Chrome and Firefox are competitors that I'm curious to hear arguments for that.

This is how it works with zookeeper and kafka as well. I don't know why those projects are such a pain in the butt but I certainly don't want to learn two completely different over complicated authentication systems when all I really wanted is the ability to set a password. I'll just use TLS for authentication and be done with it.
For C it was about the pointers.

> I have Stadia. The input lag is negligible.

I don’t see how this is possible if they are sending player input to a server somewhere with a 50ms ping. That’s a full twentieth of a second, not counting any lag at all from the server side.

I guess if you play an MMO or something that doesn’t care about lag it wouldn’t matter but I don’t see how you could play even a simple fighting game like Street Fighter 2 with that kind of lag, except at the most basic level.
It pushes form in one of the most amazing ways of any book. The economy of writing is amazing. It’s a masterclass in how to say more with less - and it’s a long book. A long book full of extremely short passages that somehow feel full of vivid detail. I think it’s a very deliberate style and form to reflect American culture with that way of writing.
Yes, the idea of optimising at compile time so you don't have to do OoO and get a simple but functional chip.

I see both sides. Your "one year ten times" developer clearly shows no passion. But after 20 years in the industry (learing more than two years worth) I haven't got a lot of passion left in me.
Well said.

Rust's terminology is kind of reversed: It is stated that a mutable reference cannot be shared, while in fact a reference is called "mutable" when it cannot be shared.

The terminology is understandable and great to get started, but once you dive in deeper into atomics and internal mutability, it's rather crucial to understand this reversal.
Hey, generally users like to define datasets so it looks like the data they will eventually use for their application. As such they are all bespoke and I don't know of any "standard".

But generating bespoke random data quickly is easy. To generate such datasets, you can try QuestDB, which allows you to do it with SQL. You can define patterns (for example for timestamps) or constraints. Feel free to try and to slack us if you need help.

https://www.questdb.io/docs/functions#overview

As an example, if you were to work on say a trading application, you could try something like this to generate a trades table

SELECT
rnd_str(2,2,0) instrument,
rnd_str('B','S') side,
rnd_int(1,10000,0) quantity,
rnd_int(9900,1100,0) price
from long_sequence(1000000);

and then download the results as csv. long_sequence(X) defines how many rows you would like to generate. You can set it in the billions if you want.

"A very expensive gaming computer"

You already have a laptop/PC. A lot of gaming can be done with iGPUs so the cost for you would be zero.

If you really want to play big titles, then you are looking at a delta of 300$ (the price of a good GPU) for 5 years, which amounts to 5$ a month.

I don’t see why anybody who has already a computer would pay more money to vendor lock-in themselves into an online-only service, one-store-only, no-mods-allowed, Internet-quality-dependent service.

I can see the appeal for people that wasn’t into computers before that, though. But still, if I were in that case, I would choose a non-locked-in platform at all costs.

I feel the same way. Haven't had linear satellite/cable in years. Gave it up in my teens. Since then I've moved over to science videos and the like (NileRed, Nurdrage, RI Lectures) and metalworking/machining. Things you'd never in a million years see on cable TV.

For all its faults - Youtube has a lot of factual content produced by people who want to share their cool hobbies with the world.

The thing I really want to give up next is Twitter. Or at least my 3,000-follower public account. It started out with finding like-minded friends, but quickly turned into a place where I can't even say "I find WD40 often works better than cutting fluid when machining aluminium" without being jumped on.
Test before you commit. I just grabbed a 3 month free nvidia geforce now subscription which is same/similar in nature and within the first 30 minutes I knew it was a no-go. I've got Google Fiber Gigabit, and even with that the service was laggy and the fidelity was garbage. Thought it'd be a good way to stop plunking down $1000 on the latest Ti cards every 2-3 years, but alas I was completely unimpressed.

I have read the paper and there are plenty of useful references and points: related work, the 11 CNN based image generators models, and the discussion part.

But sadly I could not obtain a clear picture of what is the difference between their detector and a baseline one. There are some minor points and references about upsampling, downsampling, resizing, cropping and fourier spectra comparison across generators, but those seems to be just comments and comparison and not crucial points in the construction of the detector. Furthermore data augmentation doesn't play a big role, they say that it usually improves (a little) the detector.

As a math person I like to get some more meat from papers, but here it seems that little tricks allow then to win the game. Perhaps that is the way (little or no math involved) to make advances. Well, at least they say that shallow methods modify the fingerprint of the fourier spectra so that now you can't detect which is the generator of the image.

Perhaps the "universal word" was what captured my attention.

The function "consumes" the value. Its no longer valid in the function caller's scope.

Often the purpose is to consume the value and return a new kind of value. Maybe `validate_square` takes in `Shape` and returns `Option<Shape>`

If valid or invalid, we have consumed the shape so it cant be reused by accident and can't be used without handling the optional branches.

I'm new so maybe I'm off on this.

Curious there is no reference to the BLS Short Signature scheme.

While pairing-based cryptography is not quantum resistant (yet? Can we mix in isogenies in there?), the signature, secret keys and public keys are really small, for example with a 256-bit prime we're looking at 256-bit secret keys and 256-bit or 512-bit public keys/signatures (you can choose which one is bigger/slower depending on what you want to prioritize).

It is also going into standardization right now:

- https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-irtf-cfrg-bls-signature-00

and will be a standard adopted across several blockchains (Algorand, Chia Network, Dfinity, Ethereum 2.0, Filecoin, Zcash to name those I am aware of).
I definitely agree that much of this argument boils down to a set of poorly fleshed out definitions. Though I would argue that you’ve misrepresented the article’s definitions a bit. The article is asking whether the formal system in question can fully explain human intelligence. Which we all agree it can’t. It’s not arguing that no machine in the sense you or I would understand that word can explain human intelligence, the author just assumes implicitly that any machine will consist of a formal symbolic system of the type Gödel studied. Obviously if you challenge that assumption, the argument loses its potency.

But in defense of the OP, if we discard the perhaps unhelpful term “machine,” the argument does raise an interesting question: what distinguishes the formal, mechanistic logic of pure mathematics from what you describe as “intuitive reasoning?”

I think a worse flaw in the argument is the assumption that formal symbolic completeness is somehow required for human intelligence. I’d say the opposite if anything is true. If modern psychological research has provided anything of value, it’s pretty convincing evidence that human brains don’t require any sort of logical completeness or even internal consistency to function.
We seem to be having the discussion you state we're incapable of, right now. ;)

I don’t agree. Watching tv and browsing social media just temporarily heightens the mood, but then tampers of very quickly. That time could be spend doing something useful like following a hobby, because that increases overall happiness.
I doubt this filtering is in any way done by Clojure though. It's difficult to recognize top performers in interviews, but it's much easier to see that in day to day work. What is usually missing is the willingness to fire people for not being top performers.
Indeed, however Firefox often masks its user agent as websites falsely report broken and missing features for non-chrome browsers. User agent is growingly meaningless as a metric.
There was a similar discussion last week (or so). It was basically said that even if "the media" does track us, it's still a good thing "they" allow some autors to write about privacy.

That's my (new) opinion on this.
