>The training algorithms for deep learning are also the hottest algorithm research area in machine learning, and are certainly applicable beyond deep learning.

The lore I've heard is that most new deep learning training algorithms (optimization algorithms) only work better on particular special cases, and it is hard to do better than the established algorithms in general.

I'm also not sure why you're saying they're applicable beyond deep learning--how do you plan to train a PGM or SVM using Adam?

Could you elaborate? I've been doing a lot of desktop (dwm) customization lately and haven't found ubuntu to be limiting.

I think Codeberg.org is not doing the (normally very fast) Gitea any favors here, because it's hosted on Hetzner in Germany. Lighthouse may only throttle the connection further.

Where are the tests being run from?

Is there any way to control for network latency (maybe subtract the ICMP rtt from the tests?)

You might consider comparing it to other Gitea instances like https://try.gitea.io/ (Digital Ocean / USA), https://mirror.git.trinitydesktop.org/ (Czech Republic) or https://gitea.com/ (China), but I guess Codeberg is probably the most representative instance for public use.

Passwords are just access secrets. Access secrets and always have, and always will be around. The implementation changes, not the idea.

With that said I believe the next generation of implementations will involve encrypted biometrics. Face ID sucks in that I have to hold my phone to my face. But it’s amazing that I don’t need to type a string password.

Biometrics is the future imo
Javascript is plenty concise and expressive. Can you give an example where Go is less verbose compared to javascript?

Edit: C# is actually quite expressive too, I have a hard time believing Go is less verbose than C#.
> To this day, I still don't really understand what COM is

Maybe some excerpts from the documentation[1]:

"COM specifies an object model and programming requirements that enable COM objects (also called COM components, or sometimes simply objects) to interact with other objects. These objects can be within a single process, in other processes, and can even be on remote computers. They can be written in different languages, and they may be structurally quite dissimilar, which is why COM is referred to as a binary standard; a standard that applies after a program has been translated to binary machine code."

"The only language requirement for COM is that code is generated in a language that can create structures of pointers and, either explicitly or implicitly, call functions through pointers."

"Besides specifying the basic binary object standard, COM defines certain basic interfaces that provide functions common to all COM-based technologies, and it provides a small number of functions that all components require."

In Japan it means "Adult Video", so yeah I puzzled too.
This has been brought up many times, but latency and bandwidth is controlled for with Lighthouse. The same tests have also been run from Germany without appreciably different results. It's also easy to run the test suite yourself if you have an hour of compute time to spare:

https://git.sr.ht/~sircmpwn/forgeperf

The goal here isn't to compare forge software (that would require a completely different approach to level the playing field), but to compare hosted options. The test suite is easily extended with other hosts or pages, and a few people have tested against their own Gitea instance - usually it ranks somewhere just above the middle of the pack.

This is kind of my point. Instead of just accepting that web programming is rapidly evolving, a developer just says "I'm not going to learn this".

Two Bay Area stats from the article:

There were seven deaths on Wednesday, bringing the region’s total to 283. But Wednesday’s reported deaths represents a 66% decrease from the 21 deaths recorded on April 22.

In fact, Santa Clara County, once the region’s epicenter of its COVID-19 crisis, recorded its lowest number of new cases in a single day — just 12 — since the pandemic began.

>Say you flip a coin a few times and only get heads. Your maximum likelihood (frequentist) estimate is that the coin will always land heads. In a Bayesian setting, if you have a (say uniform) prior on the probability that the coin lands heads, your maximum a posteriori estimate of this probability will be non-zero, but will get continue to get smaller if you continue only seeing heads.

Not quite. If you have a uniform prior, there will be no difference between MAP and MLE.

>From the vantage point of Bayesian inference, MLE is a special case of maximum a posteriori estimation (MAP) that assumes a uniform prior distribution of the parameters.

What exactly do you think is so revolutionary about its design? I love it, personally, but I love it because it's not revolutionary. It takes some basic design principles and sticks to them militantly, which is sort of how Drew seems to handle everything. It's a successful approach.

Some tips:

If you're going for a flat look (which you should), don't go the Google direction.

* Make it actually flat; no shadows. Shadows are your enemy. Only use shadows if absolutely necessary, and even then think twice.

* Use solid lines to separate buttons and other colorful objects from the page. This is more accessible than shadows, and looks pretty instead of Google's weird 2014 pseudoskeuomorphism.

Use accessible colors!

* You have no excuse for using a color scheme that isn't accessible; accessible color schemes generally work better for people who aren't design-inclined, anyway.

* There are a bunch of sites you can use to check whether a color scheme is accessible, and there are also a bunch that have a bunch of accessible color schemes already laid out for you.

* Do not believe yourself when trying to justify an inclusion of a pretty color that makes the site less accessible. I know the color is pretty. There are a lot of colors that won't make the site harder to view, though!

Don't break from your design. Ever.

* Nobody likes using an application that has seven different styles of interaction and looks like it's from three different eras depending on the page you're on.
GTFO is easier said than done during these times. Jobs are about picking the set of awfulness one can tolerate. Microservices are one of the lesser awful because they multiple the work by 10x. Management is probably picking microservices because they want a huge team so they can get a promo. Believe me, I know the awful I am putting up with. I just hit 20 years and management doesn't want to know what I think. In fact four months into the job I've had probably 2 opportunities to talk tech with the manager, but I won't, because they picked the architecture and told me about it through Jira tasks.
Urbit may not have much to do with any specific government but it absolutely has a lot to do with governance and society in general. If you do not believe there are fundamental flaws in not only the reality of the internet / online services but the structure of the system in which they grew, Urbit is not worthwhile for you. If you do believe there are flaws, but you disagree about what the flaws are and how to solve then, Urbit may even be counterproductive.

Here are the first words of the intro on Urbit's home page: https://urbit.org/understanding-urbit/

> We think the internet can’t be saved. The way things are going, MEGACORP will always control our apps and services because we can no longer run them ourselves.

> The only way out of this mess is with a completely new platform that’s owned and controlled by its users.

A little later: https://urbit.org/understanding-urbit/interface/

> One way to imagine Urbit is as the Western answer to WeChat: a seamless, multi-purpose, vastly extensible social network, but without the surveillance.

And from their "Beliefs and Principles" page: https://urbit.org/blog/beliefs-and-principles/

> The ability of the engineering community to govern itself through republican forms is not an abstract theory; it's a proven fact.

> Urbit should never fall under any kind of central control. All transitions in galaxy ownership should divide positions, not unite them. Galaxy and star ownership should also be separated. It is harmful for a single entity to hold both galaxies and stars.

> Urbit has zero tolerance for abuse, nor does it facilitate censorship. Urbit will do everything possible to help you block content you don't want to see. It does nothing to help you block content you don't want others to see.

If you are happy with the role of governments and corporations in Western society and the resulting online landscape, it's not clear you need Urbit. It's fine, but it's overhead. If you're happy with the role of governments and corporations in China, for instance, if you like WeChat and how it works and why it works, Urbit is actively useless to you.

And you can oppose China (or even Western governments) and find Urbit useless too: if you believe the problem is with the holders of power but not the very concept that people can hold that much power, or you are skeptical of mechanisms to prevent people from holding that much power - perhaps because you fear covert power and collusion, or because you fear that tools that inhibit the accumulation of power are more likely to harm the powerless than the somewhat-powerful - Urbit doesn't present you with solutions that help you.

I think it's entirely fair to say that beliefs about governments are absolutely a part of why Urbit was created and why it continues to get development interest from people besides the creator.

Some useful links:

The ‘Urbit for Normies’ post[0] and the HN discussion[1] (which unfortunately predominantly talks about the ‘normie’ in the title).

A Twitter thread[2] which tries to explain what Urbit is is mentioned in the HN discussion.

I personally explain it like this:

People can interact with anyone on the urbit network, just like currently anyone ‘can’ setup an email server on my own computer and interact with anyone other on the email network. The difference is that Urbit IDs have a price — so one can’t make a thousand email addresses and spam everyone, and that Urbit’s protocol is based on executable code — which means one can execute Nock(something like WASM) to get the data, not just plain text (like the web).

Late reply, but the housing crisis is actually a major problem of supply, not demand. It's very time-consuming and costly to get anything built in California. Texas is experiencing positive net migration, and presumably those migrants demand Texan homes, yet Texan housing is much more affordable than California. Ditto for Florida.

Yes, that's the China I'm talking about.

Your comment was correct. As far as France goes, none of the credit agencies exist.

To rent a place in France, you show your yearly tax statement to prove income and your national ID card to prove identity.

The concepts of credit check and rating simply don't exist at all, you couldn't even discuss them because it's completely alien and there ain't words for it. Imagine trying to have a discussion about trains to a medieval villager.

Living in the UK right now and the worst thing is, the UK has the exact same legal documents (driver license, passport, tax statement) that you have to provide as well. The only difference is they're forwarded to a check agency that provides no value and have no justification to exist, but to accumulate that data on everyone and resell it. I suppose the US is similar but don't know, never lived there.

You make a good point. It's been a while since I flipped through them, they just come up in lots of discussions on this topic. I agree that the series you link to is really great for PPL and Bayesian methods. You may find that the library upon which it's based (PyMC3) is built on top of Theano, which has been abandoned and deprecated. PyMC4 is around the corner and uses TensorFlow Probability. Early, informal reports say it's 10x faster.

> Remember, the number one cause of software product failure is having barriers to entry that are too low.

Is there any consensus for this? Or are you being sarcastic? I don't know anything about these things so I googled it:

https://www.google.com/search?client=firefox-b-1-d&q=the+num...

The top box says

>> The No. 1 Cause of IT Failure: Complexity. ... According to software architect Roger Sessions, the primary cause of software project failures is complexity. Complexity can create delays, cost overruns and systems that don't meet business needs, according to Sessions, who is chief technology officer at ObjectWatch Inc.Dec 21, 2009

Another question below mentions these points:

Software Management Common Software Failure Causes

Lack of user participation.

Changing requirements.

Unrealistic or unarticulated project goals.

Inaccurate estimates of needed resources.

Badly defined system requirements.

Poor reporting of the project's status.

Lack of resources.

Unmanaged risks.

It doesn't make sense to me why barrier to entry being too low would be a problem. Am I missing something? The one thing that comes to mind is javascript but it isn't really a failure if the metric is user adoption.

It's fairly obvious that this is about keeping secrets from other users locally whereas the fragment discussion is about keeping secrets from the server and that these two are not the same thing. People reasonably see the fragment as none of the server's business independently of whether it's any other local user's business (the latter fact itself being no one else's business to care about).
I believe that merchants are not responsible for fraud for certain kinds of transactions, like credit card transactions that use chip-and-PIN.

On the other hand, there might be higher responsibility for card-not-present transactions (i.e. someone entering a CC number into a web form over the Internet, or merchants deciding to accept a CC transaction while their machine is down and can't swipe, entering the transaction later as a card-not-present).

Not an expert on this.

One remark I'd share is that many crypto systems, in their basic transaction form, remove all consumer protections like that exist in the form of chargebacks. This can be a good thing if the merchant or marketplace is reputable and can be trusted to do the right thing. It could be a bad thing for consumer protection broadly though. The fact that you can easily charge-back a transaction provides a sort of lubricant that makes consumers more willing to spend online. You know that if a subscription company makes it really a pain in the ass to cancel, then you have the nuclear option to fall back on.

(OTOH, there's no such thing for subscription payments for blockchain. You'd have to build that custom as far as I know.)
> clarified filesystem diff. I am thinking in real low level terms like what truly is the difference between these distributions

One way to do that would be to install each version of each variant you are interested in on a VM (of exactly the same config each time), script a filesystem scan that always outputs the same order and sends the result to a central area where you can do a simple text diff on the output or load the results into a db of some sort for deeper analysis. You could even automate it to an extent.

I'm not entirely sure what you'd learn of much use, and you won't learn the differences between matters of real hardware support, but it might be an interesting exercise anyway.

This would only really be useful for comparing similar distributions, i.e. Ubuntu variations of similar vintage. There is so much different between, say, Ubuntu and CentOS, or Ubuntu now and Ubuntu last year, that there are too many differences for a filesystem level compare like that to be meaningful at all.

I don't mind the visual style of sourcehut but I find the UI very confusing. I just went to do a few common tasks and I was struggling. First I went to find a list of branches and I had to click through every tab until I landed on "refs" that had it. What does refs mean? I assume its some internal git terminology but why not just call the tab branches. I then went to find out where I could submit a PR/MR and I couldn't find any such feature. I also couldn't find a list of bugs or how to open one.

I'm not really sure what case you would want to use this over GitLab/Gitea which work very well for basically every use case. Especially when you consider that you are driving away potential contributors by using this.
Agree. Sadly this business mentality is global one (not only limited to China). "Doing wrong is ok, ideally it's more profitable". The cost of doing ethical business appears to be higher and that cost has to be passed on to the consumer it seems consumers as a whole tend to care more about low price than ethics or privacy. Because there is little or no value attributed to ethics / privacy.
This is like saying that you should not make moral judgements on a person as long as they are not breaking any law. A person could be doing completely legal things and still be a complete asshole. A lot of people being mad is what eventually leads to laws.
