That’s not what parent is saying. Yes there is likely a an innate variance in human intelligence, but we can’t believe this is the sole reason why society considers people to be “intelligent” or “stupid”. Many people with lower IQs and academic performance would perform differently when raised in a different environment. People who are of lower socioeconomic status often times perform worse than wealthier counterparts. People in of lower socioeconomic status are often in that situation because they have been systematically oppressed. So saying that people are either born stupid or smart without acknowledging societal and environmental factors is essentially saying that poor people are poor because they are stupid, which is certainly eugenicist.

I agree. Honestly this thread makes me super-glad I graduated undergrad when I did: Decades ago, when you could actually get a junior position at a company without having to be Ken Thompson or Linus Torvalds. I graduated from a basic state school CSE program. We didn't have "Github profiles" and there was no expectation of having a portfolio for a junior position. You also weren't expected to crank out JIRA tickets starting day one. You could be hired on aptitude and potential only, and learn what you needed on the job.

The universities and training you get in undergrad is probably miles better today than it was back when I went to school. This does not seem like an education system failure--it seems like inflated expectations from employers for entry-level jobs. If employers are looking for mid-to-senior level employees who can be productive from day one, that's fine but they should probably not rely heavily on university recruiting.
Yes, very recently did we switch from SSPL to AGPLv3 (as noted in updates above)
Wa there anyone with long term health issues?
Sorry, but I'm not really interested in responding to snarky sarcastic gotcha questions. If you have a point to make, make it.
A 50% false positive rate means that, since most people don't have the virus, about 50% of all the tests will come back positive. You just about might as well flip a coin instead.

I found that writing a vector math library around the same time I was learning the math to be immensely helpful.

Given that I look at Python everyday and only consult math books when I need to learn a new algorithm, seeing the basic symbols translated into my everyday language is pretty helpful.

I wonder about the Roth IRA deadline, since some people aren't sure whether they're above the cutoff until they do at least some of the calculations.
Computer Chip Can Smell, Thanks to Artificial Intelligence
The problem is, we're not testing people until they're already in hospital. So that 4% mortality rate is very much skewed. The vast majority of people who show symptoms are just self isolating and getting better without ever being tested. We have no clue how many of those people actual had COVID-19 and how many had something else, although the spread we have observed would suggest that it's probably on the higher side.

Given the lack of availability of testing, and the fact the the available testing is (rightly) being reserved for those most in need, I don't believe we can rely on the current mortality figures as any measure of accuracy. They're probably more like 0.5% at best.
Is your argument that the number of people who die from the flu annually is greater than the number of people in the US who have died from the coronavirus in the past two weeks, and thus the coronavirus news is overblown?

Look at the growth charts on this page:
https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/country/us/

About 10x more cases every 8 days. Sure, the medical care for the current number of critically ill people is OK for now, but can it handle 10x that in 8 days? 100x that in 16 days? Have you seen videos of hospital wards in Italy?

But I agree, hoarding TP is dumb.
We really need a test for anti-bodies as well.

Should companies be forced to reshore their outsourced jobs to receive bailouts?
Depends a lot on the business.

If the company is hiring a junior to build a CRUD app, or even Uber for XXX, a degree wouldn't affect much.

If the company is a business intelligence solution house, a degree may be just an entry ticket.
But the repo says SSPL... in the readme & in the LICENSE file isn't that the source of truth? Or what matters to an organization evaluating adoption?
The advice given to people who just build stuff would be "don't just build stuff, also study the theory behind". You need the former to become a useful craftsman, but supplemented with the latter you will become a master craftsman. You'll be able to quickly recognize patterns when reasoning about problems. It will allow you to quickly and almost instinctively orient yourself toward optimal solutions.
Thank you guys so much for jumping in so quickly and creating such a useful tool for small business owners.
Asking for more after the fact kind of messes up the Fiverr value prop for buyers, and I think you run the risk of them reporting you to Fiverr if you ask for more after the fact.
I don't agree. The lack of testing means everyone is looking at everyone else as if they are carrying the plague. We're awfully close to full panic as it is. If we could implement wide scale testing with aggressive containment, people who aren't infected could pretty quickly get back to a mostly normal lifestyle.

It is much, much more comforting to have a plan than just hunkering down and waiting your turn to find out if you will live or die.
Merkel: Coronavirus is Germany′s greatest challenge since World War Two
As stated in the syllabus no, as seen in the classroom yes. In general the students at a top-teir university are faster on the pickup so classes can go deeper into the material. Sure 10% more in one class isn't a big deal but repeated across every class and later classes building on that deeper coverage adds up over the course of a degree program.
I have a very similar career story. In fact recently I've come to the realization that I never much cared for software engineering as a career, and would rather just build stuff. I'm prouder of all of my side projects than any work I've done at a job.
The easiest way to get the answer to a question on the internet is to post the wrong answer. Simply record the song with your band and claim it's yours.

If nobody comes up to claim it, then the original authors died, and couldn't make it to the final recording. You would have to look for bands whose members died together at the same time.

> I keep seeing people asking "Why can't we just quickly spin up technology X?" where this is here ventilators, otherwise vaccines, etc...without much awareness of how much specialization goes into almost every aspect of every job. Hell, even fast-food workers-- a skilled grill operator at McDonalds -- take time to train up.

> No, we cannot quickly undo the 20 years of systematic dismantling of our core infrastructure. We are in for a very rude wake-up call.

Wait a minute. I was with you up until the end of "...take time to train up.", but I've lost the plot between there and "No, we cannot quickly undo the 20 years of systematic dismantling of our core infrastructure." To me, these seem like two extremely different issues, but it appears that you see them as being ~equivalent, or am I misunderstanding?

> And then, once we are awake, and are dealing with our new realization on the complexity of our economy, where every part depends on every other part functioning...

Agree, but I just wanted to add my $.02: Be careful when using "awake" - this is a very, very tricky word. To say it can be be deceptive is a major understatement.

> Then we realize that the economy is embedded in an even bigger system called "life on earth" which we have degraded and destroyed on a much larger scale than our economy.

I see your point, but again: for specific definitions of "degraded" and "destroyed", maybe. And even if so, does this have bearing on this particular issue? If not, it should not be part of the analysis. It confuses people, and this situation is confusing enough.

> If you think the weakness in our society which the virus uncovers are a big deal, you simply lack the full picture.

I assume you meant "...are not a big deal..."?
I am an incredibly negative person. I am full of hate and loathing. I do not like people, humanity, or society. However, your story moved me to recount a story of my own.

A few months ago, while I was on my way to get dinner, I was waiting at an intersection for the light to change, when I heard a fire engine approaching. I looked around the intersection to find where it was coming from, and noticed a young woman with massive headphones on her head, stepping into the intersection, in the direction of the fire engine, with her head down.

I did a cartoonish double-take, and then I lunged several feet to grab her by the shoulders, holding her in place and surprising her. A moment later, the fire engine rolled through the crosswalk and into the intersection, where she had been about to step. She was shocked, but safe. She thanked me and walked away; I continued to my dinner.

This story really only has one thing in common with yours: It was the greatest day of my life. I am glad that you are recovering and finding health and prosperity in your life; I hope that she is, too.
They didn't "break" anything, someone screwed up and left the unprotected executable accessible.
Having watched that I would agree that the memory limitations of the Apple II directly lead to the creation of that brilliant game feature. =)

However, I was responding to the comment chain below this comment:

"Do you want your game creators focuses on
twonking around in the guts of an obscure,
probably poorly documented and understood
one-off architecture"

This was not about hardware limitations like the RAM limits Mechner faced while writing PoP. This is about bugs and other such things.

The XOR instructions used to draw the shadow-man weren't a "wonky" feature of the Apple II hardware... it was a pretty standard and well-documented feature.

In fact, in the video, if I recall correctly, Mechner specifically mentioned seeing the XOR instruction in the documentation. It was not "poorly documented." The Apple II was quite well documented.

Also, I am talking out of experience here, started coding in 1986
and was into portuguese demoscene PC/Amiga.

I am always in awe of the demoscene... props to you.

However even though I am not a demoscene or game developer I am speaking from 20+ years software development experience. Nearly as long as you. I did not start doing this yesterday.

That reminds me of seeing a video featuring a bloke from the millennial generation (perhaps a little younger) who today does lots of mathy stuff in Lisp, but when he was a kid/teenager computers came in two varieties: "old computers" (e.g. the Apple II) which could be programmed, and "real computers" (modern (late 90s) PCs) which could not.

Kind of a sad reflection on how we went from booting to BASIC and encouraging programming by the end user, to booting into Windows (or worse, a smartphone OS) and almost suppressing programming.

You can't stockpile everything you could need for every potential crisis. At an individual level, think of extreme preppers that have huge tanks full of water, years of storable food, an arsenal of guns, etc. This only covers a small set of scenarios, but the cost is unaffordable on a national scale.

What makes a country resilient is not stockpiles, although those help, but the ability to quickly switch production to whatever is needed in the moment. Flexible production capacity trumps stockpiles, because you don't have to decide in advance what the crisis will be.

Unfortunately all of the flexible production is now in a country that's accusing the U.S. of deploying SARS-CoV2 as a bioweapon over Wuhan.

I thought before that it was someone eating a bat, but the hard propaganda push is making me suspect something more sinister that the Chinese are afraid will come out eventually, and they want to muddy the waters before it does.
See https://stackoverflow.com/questions/4361979/how-does-the-gcc...

In brief, if the value being modulo-ed by is a constant known in advance (which is the case you describe), a sequence of bit manipulation instructions that performs the equivalent of a generic modulo operation but faster can be substituted. The length of that sequence depends on the specific constant used.

If the value being modulo-ed by is not known in advance, I'd suspect that all the modulo operations would take the same time because the same sequence of instructions would be used for all cases. The register width for modern computers is 64-bits, meaning that the same sequence of operations on values would take the same time up for values up to a maximum value of 2^64 (unsigned).
There's a tenuous link. Don't forget China culled something like 1/4 of the world's pig population to deal with swine fever in 2019. There exists regulations on meat production in most countries to prevent outbreaks in livestock passing to humans but these are not 100% effective.
It’s not a conspiracy theory and I specifically said SK’s numbers are more trustworthy. Historically, mainly due to authoritarianism, Chinese provincial governors have a strong tendency to lie with better numbers to avoid being sacked by Beijing. This has happened numerous times already... and before your allusions to racism get more pronounced, I am Chinese. Their numbers also don’t conform to infection simulations pre-lockdown

There are also many Chinese accounts of thousands of bodies just being cremated without being tested. to be fair, Italy is now supposedly experiencing the same thing now due to hospitals being overwhelmed.

>Sugar is glucose plus whatever and is safe in moderation.

Lots of things that are addictive or considered a drug can be safe in moderation.

>Caffeine is a stimulant drug that you cannot give pregnant women at all and it gives you physical withdrawals if you try to quit.

Well that's just not true and I'd caution you to not speak in absolutes. Pregnant women can have finite amounts of caffeine. We just had our first child and my wife's doctor cleared her to have a cup a day during her pregnancy. A cup a day is, as far as I can tell, commonly considered OK[0].

"Current guidelines from the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG) and other experts say that it's safe for pregnant women to consume up to 200 milligrams of caffeine a day, or around one daily 12-ounce cup of coffee."[1]

Very cool. Reminds me of when I played with Google's Seurat.

Sadly not something you can use in real time but still very cool.

Most of these recipes call for sweet whey, which is apparently a different thing than the whey you get from making yogurt. ("Acid" whey).
I'm not being snarky, I'm trying to understand your disagreement with the medical community who have repeatedly advised us "this is not like these other things, please do not compare them to these other things" vs your responses of "why aren't we acting like this with other stuff" and essentially doing exactly what the people trying to get us out of this are saying DON'T DO.

That's my point.

Well, yes. Sort of.

How many people will be coming to the maths of machine learning but _not_ expecting to implement it in a programming language?

Many do and state tax policies often are intertwined with federal tax policies but each state has its own set of laws and policies, some of which will need to be changed if they want to match those of the IRS. The difficulty for some states is going to be that they're already tapping into their rainy day funds pretty heavily and unlike the federal government can't run deficits, so they could run into cash flow issues when delaying tax payments. Of course that's bound to happen eventually anyway as sales tax revenue plummets and the number of people who can't pay other taxes rises.
I don’t disagree with your point on eugenics, however, I don’t believe it is the mindset that backs the practice of hiring people without degrees

I think it is more a rejection of traditional academic institutions as the arbiter of merit. It is a shift towards a more “pure” meritocracy where all that matters is your ability to deliver. Whether this is good or bad, I am not sure. I think it depends on how society treats people are aren’t able to deliver to the same degree, and currently, in the US at least, those people get thrown to the wayside

The article is arguing for super lightweight VMs that (I assume) would have the same build-once, run-the-same abilities as containers. Considering at my work we have hardware run VMs which contain clusters, I can certainly see the use case for removing one of these abstraction layers. I agree that containers were a step forward, and that the idea of run-the-same is a huge advancement, but I think we can get that feature from VMs just the same as containers, as soon as the infrastructure around developing unikernels / "nanoVMs" is as simple as Docker.
