Not really -- in many forecasting applications in fast-changing markets, it is fairly common to dynamically retrain your recursive model to a moving window of historical data in order to adapt to your current environment (with some regularization). The length of the window depends on how fast the market changes.

For these types of recursive model applications, you cannot just fit the model once and forget about it.
"And second the secure variant should flush ..."

Probably means the extra-secure variant, more secure than the regular non-optimized-away memset that really clears the memory, but without the flush.
That's where new ideas come in. E.g. embed RFID tags in the paint, sense from car, look up database of geolocations.

RFID tags are dead cheap, and would get cheaper if 100M were need to embed in road surfaces.
Nope, by 1918 every state had mandatory public schooling. And a significant push for education came from industry, which needed more educated workers, and had nothing to do with the Depression. The ability for teenagers to drop out & enter the workforce went unchanged throughout the depression (and long after). Though I have heard that places with job openings often reserved them for people with families to support.

By 1900, 34 states had compulsory schooling laws; four were in the South. Thirty states with compulsory schooling laws required attendance until age 14 (or higher). As a result, by 1910, 72 percent of American children attended school. Half the nation's children attended one-room schools. By 1918, every state required students to complete elementary school [0]

Maybe some combination of: comparing average recent audio levels and detecting a sudden spike in the average human speech frequency range, using far field mic tech these companies have been focusing on to check against direction the audio source is coming from (ie, only focus on someone right in front of you), maybe auto adding the first name of the phone owner to a watch word ala “hey Siri”, etc

I’m not an expert at all on the “how”, just thought could be a useful “what” that solves some friction with current tech (similar to how these automatically adjust noise cancellation settings vs needing to set manually as with competitors)
> There's a core curriculum that I really doubt most kids would learn if they had their own way.

Insofar as kids learn (and retain) things at all, chances are they were going to learn it on their own anyway.

The preponderance of evidence suggests that it basically doesn't matter what you forcibly try to teach kids between the ages of zero-13; their later academic outcomes aren't going to change much anyway.

This matches my anecdotal experience; kids who end up being good in some field are always way ahead of what public schools (which are forced to cater to the lowest common denominator) can teach them anyway, and kids who end up not being good at a field will probably pick up the same information they're being taught naturally, at a more natural and less painful pace.

> What are the odds that a child is interested in Shakespeare, civics, biology, and trigonometry

High? Lots of kids choose to read books on various topics with their free time and focus, which they would have more of if they weren't swamped with pointless make-work.

Plus, it's not like you're actually going to get a comprehensive or even useful understanding of any of those things from the bottom 80% of schools.

> but it has value to have gone through it

Even if this is true (but I suspect the "kicking and screaming" might actually be net counterproductive), I really doubt it's worth the cost of spending something like 25% of your waking hours in Factory Labor Simulator for the first 13 (or whatever) years of your life.

> their prices aren't competitive anymore...

What do you mean by this?

Amazon has had the lowest price for basically everything I’ve shopped for in the last 4 years. When it is higher on Amazon, it’s by pennies (because algorithms) and not for very long.

At home there’s a grocery store at the bottom of my elevator. It costs less money for me to buy groceries on Amazon Fresh with same-day delivery, than it does for me to go downstairs and buy my own groceries. Not a little bit less either, like 20% less. Same products!

I don’t even have to be home, the groceries just materialize at my front door whenever I schedule them to.

I think HN just gets on a negativity roll sometimes, and the most extreme or exaggerated comments float to the top.

I’m sure there are plenty of externalities, probably moreso with Amazon than most any other company... but let’s not pretend that Amazon isn’t doing amazing things for their customers. The efficiencies they’ve added to my life have saved me hundreds of hours.

They’ve done that with a business model that (allegedly) monetizes the widespread violation of all kinds of regulations while (allegedly) externalizing all of the liability, and it’s devastating hundreds of businesses, and a million other things ... but on the other end of all of that is a very happy customer.

There would be no point to playing so dirty if there was nothing in it for the customer. It wouldn’t even work, we would all just go back to K-Mart.
The way to falsify it is to track down the identity of the human author of every internet comment. Simple!

To get philosophical I won’t say that I “know” it’s happening. Most of the world consists of things I don’t know about. The best I can do is build a mental model based on what I do know.

Homeschooling typically involves very little sitting at home, doing traditional schoolwork. As others have noted, and my extended family's experience supports, it only takes maybe 4 hours max to get through the basic curriculum--usually less--when all the ceremony of public school is removed. That frees up a ton of time for a combination of self-directed learning, engagement in extracurricular activities with other children of a variety of ages (e.g., may nephews have done karate for probably ten years now, started learning with older students and progressed to helping teach younger students) and regular "field trips" (e.g., when there isn't a lockdown in effect, my kids go to the aquarium at least once a month, and interact with the... zookeepers? fishkeepers?... there to ask questions about the animals, pet the rays, etc.), and navigating the world with their parents. Now, a parent can still isolate their kid from responsibility, by, e.g., taking them along on an errand to the bank and the grocery store and making them be quiet and Let The Adults Talk, but they don't have to, and those who choose to homeschool generally don't. Heck, my kids aren't even school-age yet, but I still let them hold the credit card, talk to cashier, stick the card in the chip reader, take it back out when it beeps, and grab the receipt. And since they are around the house with their parents, they also tend to get to know many of their parents friends, which is conducive to learning how to interact with adults, who are not your teachers, socially.

On top of all that, even when engaging in core curricular study, homeschool kids are usually doing so in mixed-age groups, according to subject ability level--especially if they are part of a co-op.
Public school is what you get when you have one instructor per 20 kids with wildly different backgrounds, parent support and aptitudes. You need 10x better teachers with 1/20 of the load and much more involved parents. If you get all that, and certainly technology is the only way to get it at scale, then yes, kids can be done with academics in a small fraction of their day. They should be spending the bulk of their time in play and exploration.
There's no need to pick such nits. The point was clear: "open source" -even with very loose definitions of "open source"- was one key to Unix's triumph over Multics. BSD was "open source" even in 1978 because Bill Joy did nothing to verify that recipients of BSD source had AT&T Unix source licenses. Eventually BSD became truly open source when the AT&T-Berkeley lawsuit was settled -- truly open source by the standard you mention, even though that was before 1998. That no one spoke of "open source" in 1978 is neither here nor there. Multics is practically unused by comparison to Unix. The End.

A huge thing with elementary schools is fitness. For some kids, gym class is the only time they are physically active. I went to a private middle school that had a rule that you needed to play a sport, even if it meant just being a benchwarmer. Only the football players were chubby at that school.

It very much narrows it to impersonating a well known voice _in order to to sell a product_, therefore the individual is _due proceeds based upon those sales_. Impersonating a well known person for other reasons (parody, political or religious expression, etc.) would not fall under this precedent.

‘In order to sell’ also may not cover all business transactions if they are not the primary purpose, or at least that is what the defense will be partly based on. In other words, just because a video is monetized does not necessarily mean it falls under this ruling.
> Small-government libertarians in my experience are really ok with big-defense.

I don't know who you're talking to, but the national Libertarian Party has always been against domestic surveillance and foreign wars. Unlike the Democrats or Republicans, it is the official position of the Libertarian Party that FISA courts should be ended[1] and that the CIA should be abolished.[2] The Libertarian Party also wants to pardon Snowden[3] and Ulbricht[4].

Well, making a video "look amateur" is certainly not expensive. But I think you mean making a "good video" isn't necessarily cheap. If you're not a one-man guru, you'll need to pay a creative/writing team. Otherwise, the expense Nick outlined (production value) shouldn't be a hinderance.
Its a pain, but it can be managed, specially if the teaching methods are adapted to the situation.
Well, there's some nuances.

If they're mothballed (skin covered and various systems pickled), then about a month of work each.

If they're not mothballed and they do weekly or bi-weekly maintenance on each plane like they're supposed to, then an inspection, and then they're ready.

So the worst case is a month, and the best case is an inspection plus 30 minutes.

Also, note that in the mdoern era, a lot of avionics require periodic updates, which also have to be performed before flight.

But if I was the FAA, I'd be requiring crew-only acceptance flights before any revenue flights. You never know where those pesky wasps built a nest, or if those AOC sensors corroded, etc.

Rust absolutely does not have the ergonomics of any of those languages because it has lifetimes. They are things you don't worry about in those languages.

Have you done a lot of Rust? I spent considerable time in Rust, and at the end of the day, after stepping away from it, I've found multiple options with the kind of ergonomics that make development a lot more productive for me.

Rust is not going to eat everything. I'd bet money on it. Rust will likely un quietly behind the scenes powering lots of great projects, but its audience is limited. I think HN really has a weak spot for understanding how few people even know what it is. I was surprised to ask a CS grad student that's done lots of machine learning about Rust, and he simply didn't know it existed. I like Rust and all that it taught me, but we need to be realistic about its ceiling and what it is appropriate for.
The chronic stress of having to complete bullshit assignments on subjects I had no interest in does not justify it. If I could make one law by fiat, it would be illegal to tell a child “You have to learn to do things that you don’t want to do” as justification for the mindless hours of frivolous work. Honestly, judging by the amount of stress it caused me as a child, I’m tempted to call it psychological abuse. Children are human beings too.

I worked in a startup that was eventually acquired by cisco. We had the same dilemma back then. AWS and GCP were great, but also fairly expensive until you get locked in. Oracles bare metal cloud sweetened the deal soo much, that it was a no brainer to go with them. We were very heavy on using all open source tech stuff, but didnt rely on any cloud service like S3 etc. So the transition was no brainer.

If your tech stack is not reliant on cloud services like S3 etc, you're better off with a cloud provider who can give you those sweet deals. But you'll need in house expertise to deal with big data.
Yes? I do not see why that would be different.

Not at all a fanboy comment. Apple uses proprietary extensions to Bluetooth in order to facilitate very quick and easy device pairing.

If you open an AirPods case while it’s near an unlocked iPhone, iPad, or Mac, an alert pops up asking if you want to pair to it. (Or, if necessary, letting you know that you grabbed the wrong AirPods case, and it’s paired to someone else’s equipment).

Then, the action of pairing causes Apple to associate the AirPods themselves with your Apple ID. If you have more than one device signed into the same iCloud account, all of them will effectively be paired to those AirPods, and you do not need to actively do anything in order to connect to them, and standard system volume controls gain the option to switch output devices (with the AirPods listed).

What non-AirPods headset pairs and switches devices that seamlessly and easily?
One issue with your standard phone or laptop audio output is that its clock is not overly precise.

I learned this when I tried to combine the output of multiple sources generating a sawtooth wave from the same file - any two sources would sweep at around 1-2Hz.

It's still usable, just not in scenarios where you have many of them.

The error in logic is the part where you see so much empty space for wind to pass through. The horizontal velocity of the wind is quite a bit lower than the circumferential velocity of the turbine blade. So only a relatively short distance passes before another blade comes along.

I had a great animation in mind that shows it clearly, but I can't seem to find it right now. To get a static idea, See the corkscrew graphics in figures 4.18 and 4.19 of https://scholarworks.umass.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?article=1...

Basically, there is a relationship between number of blades, blade tip speed, and flow speed that is optimized. For the same flow speed, power, and area, a two-blade turbine has to spin faster to reach optimum and makes more drag. A four-blade turbine has to spin slower to reach optimum, but it is only barely closer to the Betz limit than the corresponding optimized three-blade turbine. The difference is small enough that its difficult to measure or simulate - some other inter-blade losses rise in importance as well.

edit to add: Here's a deep dive into tip speed ratio as it applies to wind turbine design: https://cdn.intechopen.com/pdfs/16242/InTechWind_turbines_th...

> the platform Moore appears to have moved to with Gibbs is that there are too many people on the planet

Eugenics is a terrible and terrifying "platform". It should be seen as either insane or hilarious that this is brought up at all. Mentioning it at all is severe "whataboutism" at best and most "harmless", and damaging and ethically evil at worst (and possibly most likely).

> burning more wood and coal to create electricity isn't solving pollution problems

Good news, use of wood and coal is way down in the world's electricity mix in 2020. (Any stats cited in the movie are at least a decade out of date.)

> The materials EVs are created out of need some serious changes

This is also severe "whataboutism", at least a decade out of date from proven reality and continually and constantly disproved. No EV car material is worse than anything in a traditional ICE car. Cobalt is a "waste product" out of "ordinary" copper, tin, and nickel mining. Lithium is common and often as easy as sifting a "salt brine". The damage in manufacturing an EV is the damage in manufacturing cars. Yes, we should probably manufacture less. Good news there too: EVs have fewer moving parts and longer maintenance cycles allowing for longer car ownership.

I'm sure you're right. Which is kinda the crux, limiting an understanding of history thru taxation, whilst something small, it would soon with other information taxation costs end up creating a educational divide even wider than we have today.

I also feel that if they allowed and encouraged educational establishments to use them for free. They would create more potential customers who in their lifetime, would go a see them at the museum. So for a Museum, it would tick the PR, tourism, and visitors count boxes nicely. With that, I'm going to email them, though will craft the idea out more, any input welcome.
Large public districts have many magnet programs that can experiment here too. Some of the issues with the magnet program are getting people to the school. 10 miles in LA could take you an hour during rush hours. A high school program that combined distance work with going to campus only a couple days out of the week would be very beneficial and mirror a college environment better than anything else.

I have reservations about fully remote programs, because in my newly remote grad program right now I am worthless with zoom only lectures, and I'm not alone.

Hopefully if you ever end up working on a device with firmware I’ve written, you’ll end up pleasantly surprised. I’ve worked all over up and down the hardware/software stack from mobile UI down to gate-level design, and one of the biggest principles I’ve picked up over the years is that observability is absolutely a hard requirement. I’ve felt your pain myself and refuse to design systems that inflict that pain on others :)
In can go both ways, that's right, which is why we tend to trust the larger collection of people who have also done more to verify and support their claims.

I get the premise, and agree that UBI should leave people with an incentive to work. Still, there are pretty divergent needs, and I think money is best.

In the latter two years of grad school, my wife and I ate very cheaply. I was always at home or at the office with a fridge and microwave, had time to make bread and things like that. But there are working poor people work places where that's not easy to do, and so they end up spending a good bit more on food.

It's bin-packing. If people have different needs, making each bin big enough for all of them is gonna cost more than giving them money that they can move between their various bins.

No argument here. But we were talking about 'conservatives' rather than a particular political party. Parties have done a great job at branding themselves towards different viewpoints, even if their actions don't match the branding.

I'm a one issue voter. I will never vote or support someone that voted for the Iraq war, I will never vote for someone that supports any ongoing foreign military intervention of any kind. My options, as you might imagine, are quite limited.

Strangely, killing people overseas is not the #1 issue in the US when it comes to politics. People are selfish, immoral idiots that don't actually care about others.

Here's a political platform I could get behind: States decide what's best for themselves when it comes to social and economic issues, end all wars, remove military from all foreign outposts, keep all warships within our international waters.
It's pretty obvious that this new account is not arguing in good faith, but I'll take a stab anyway.

1. It's a literal description of what happened. He admitted to being a neo-nazi terrorist.

2. He has not sought redemption in any meaningful way, but has instead started a surveillance company. That his conduct has continued to be abusive just shows it is a permanent lack of moral character.

3. I think you might need to adjust your definition of fascism. The "social fascism" you describe dilutes the word of all meaning, which is probably your intent.

He helped commit a terrorist act at the age of 17, and continued to be associated with Nazis for some time after.
A tolerent and open society means that we cannot tolerate these kinds of people running surveillance companies with government contracts. The reasoning should be obvious. See also, Popper's paradox of tolerance.
