The thing with microcontrollers in general is that they tend to come in MANY variations to support all the various use cases out there. So, it really comes down to your use case. Once you have that figured out, it's much easier to pick an ARM platform.

Most of the time people are taking about the M-series, so you want an M0, M3 or an M4. I'd recommend an M4 if you don't have something specific in mind.

The STM discovery series is an easy place to start:

I'd also recommend checking PlatformIO: It's a great project that streamlines development and abstracts a lot of the details:

I think if I were working at a place like that and I had any choice in the matter, working from home would definitely be my preference. As it is, I work at a small publishing company and have my own little office, which I would like to get back to someday, but working from home has not been so bad. I think I've been a little more productive just because of fewer interruptions. The only really bad part is not really having a choice: you can't go to the office, or much of anywhere else, really, even if you want to.
> These are sampled PCR tests, the 2.5% was 18 positive in a sample or something like that. (https://www.folkhalsomyndigheten.se/contentassets/7bd5627f82...)

> But in Sweden, only people who are ill enough to be admitted to hospital have been tested so far (especially around the time of the earlier studies - now it's expanding to more general testing) and other than those it has been mostly hospital staff. So the missing number is all asymptomatic AND all the cases that aren't severe enough to require emergency care. And that's a significant number.

Right, but I'm not talking about sweden, I'm talking about places that were doing more significant testing.

> The same high specificity zero test found 20% with antibodies among hospital staff in one hospital

This would be unsurprising. There have been studies showing that certain at risk groups have very high prevalence (meat packers, homeless, etc.). These can't really be generalized across the broader population.

We can infer that, for example, the hospitalization rate in NYC and San Francisco and Stockholm will be similar per-case, and per fatality, and draw conclusions from there. Those conclusions don't lead to 10 or 20% of the population infected anywhere. They might lead to 5% infected in the worst hit areas (NYC, Lombardy, etc.).

Edit: I take this back partially: Stockholm apparently could reasonably be hit as hard as NYC at the moment, so it could also be at a 5% infection rate. Sweden as a whole almost certainly isn't though.

> I thought there was a broad consensus now that is centering in on IFR of 0.3% in many places while others seem to have higher numbers like 0.5% or 0.8%. I haven’t seen many reports that suggest over 1%. CFR doesn’t really make any sense if you only ever confirm a fraction of the cases.

I haven't seen this. It's certainly possible, but low estimates I'd seen were .5%, centered closer to .8 or 1%.
Only if mining has hit an equilibrium where it's entirely price dependent. If mining is constrained by supply (either of sufficiently cheap energy or of miners) then we wouldn't see a drop.

Fees are still not near dominating the rewards so we do expect to see miner revenue drop due to this.
I mean, sure, I can use the lower level API to check in a separate step. The point of a library is to provide the functionality to reduce the boiler plate checking.
It's all relative of course but wouldn't you agree that 65kB of JS for a page that displays 1 line of text is a lot?

It's also 65kB of compressed and minified JS which ends up being about 185kB for doing absolutely _nothing_.

For comparison the complete jQuery library weights about 30kB compressed and minified.
The 7% figure of bad subprime borrowers might be accurate, but, my understanding of what truly caused the market to melt down, is that the leverage that the financial companies used, to package these poor mortgages into other investment vehicles, and mark them as AAA investment quality, is what ultimately caused the financial crisis.

The success of splice would disagree with your notion that “users hate subscriptions”. Given the horrendous price point of many of these plugins it seems to be perfect for a subscription based model. To me it always seemed there is more of a pushback from the industry producing vsts than from the consumers.
Since when is the Safari Reading List a cloud service? It might be that I just have most of iCloud disabled and that makes the system work as expected, but for me it is definitely 100% local (at which point I would presume failures are due to the mechanism it using to save things not working on all kinds of web pages: I honestly only use it for simple document sites, and so wouldn't know if it fails a lot on rich web app sites).

Curious, did you have a preferred alternative?

I get the feeling you described, Nifi has a.. heavy and highly structured feel to it, but lighter alternatives are not as integrated, say... Airflow, Streamsets, AWS Glue, Kafka (different beast) etc.

That said, Nifi is incredibly powerful and complete considering it's open source and free.
I'd assume any miners who cannot profitably operate with the new block reward * price would stop, but a decrease of new supply should cause some increase in price too.
But there will be a point in future where mining no longer would make sense? Curious if there are any projections when that is expected to happen.
Besides the poor browser support (supporting IE11 is still quite a pain) the API is just so bad that you'll need another abstraction on top anyway.

That's exactly what I'm arguing against: I think the "eating the world" part is a hype-cycle.

That does happen a lot with expense reports. They get abused all the time. Sometimes, though, employees do get their ERs audited, and get fired for ER fraud. Especially if the employer needs a reason to fire you.

Plainly put, none of the OSes do the basic features of a phone. Ubuntu Ports is the closest to being daily driver ready, and it cannot do MMS[0] (so group texts and picture texts are out). I cannot comment on the state of other OSes.

Even with that, most of them do not have a lot of basic features of what a vanilla smartphone would have either.

That isn't to say it will stay that way. I try out a few of the OSes about once a month or so, and the difference from when I first got it to now is astounding. I think (hope) that by the end of the year that I can use a Pinephone as my daily driver.

Until Firefox broke its extension API there was an extremely useful extension called Scrapbook that could you could point at a website and save that site and all linked site (with settings for how far to recurse and what URL patterns to accept.)

FTR: I still use Firefox as for me the alternatives are worse. As someone else mentioned Pocket exist and while the communication around it could hardly been worse it is still way better than Chrome IMO.

You are looking at this with hindsight. There are specific things that you can do to prepare for an invasion of your country that I'm sure you are not doing.

Ryanair is like McDonald's of air travel. I have taken well over 50 flights with them over the last decade, and never had a bad experience, because I always knew what to expect.

In general, it's not worth paying more than 50-60 EUR for a one-way ticket, and it's not worth expecting any compensations or support if something goes wrong.

Nobody expects a restaurant experience from a fast-food chain.
> And the solution is not denoising. The solutions are novel algorithms that produce faster convergence.

IMO, there are a few things you seem to be confused about.

1- There are no perfect sampling algorithms, the need for denoising will never go away. 3Delight's geo light sampling does not remove the need for denoising.

2- Denoising and better sampling are independent. You can do both, and everyone already is doing both.

3- 3Delight's geo light sampling is a pretty narrow use-case way to compare renderers. Games don't generally use geo lights at all, and films only rarely. What 3delight doesn't show you in that web page is how their sphere, quad & point light sampling algorithms compare to Pixar's & Arnold's, which is what everyone uses in practice. Spoiler alert: it's not better.

> Very important for artists doing look development: time to first pixel.

Your 3delight page doesn't say whether they're using binary or ascii .rib files. (How do I know it's being fair?) It doesn't compare realistic production scenes. It doesn't compare texturing quality, or how well the renderers perform under extreme memory usage. You are being sucked into some marketing, and missing the bigger picture.

Interviews and tests don't determine how competent someone is going to be performing a job in future, passing candidates are just as likelty to be as competent or non competent. What you should really be asking is that how come they end up hiring competent people in first place? Because those who apply are already have knowledge or experience to help them be competent in first place. I have seen some people who interview and pass tests well end up being useless and sometimes those who initially don't present well end up being competent. How would you determine competency in the first place? In many cases with enough practice and assistance even the most incompetent can perform the required tasks successfully. There is no test to show that anyone is going to be competent or not in future. At above some intelligence level everyone is just as likely to end up being competent in performing any job, but the time that they have reached the position of applying for a specialised job they are likely to be competent in.

$HYPED_LANGUAGE is simultaneously every language and no language, possessing generics while somehow still lacking it. It is shapeless and formless, yet intimately familiar in a curious sort of way. The legends say that some used it for something useful back when it was nascent, but all that's left is a desiccated husk, beaten daily by hecklers on forums across the Internet. A vessel for aspiring language theorists, it is but a placeholder now, a place where interesting languages go to die.
Will this likely increase typical transaction fees to make up for block reward?
Thanks for the detailed feedback. Spark can sometimes be frustrating. Automated tuning has a major impact but it is no silver bullet, sometimes a stability/performance problem lays in the code or the input data (partitioning).

That's why we're working on new monitoring solution (think Spark UI + Node metrics) to give Spark developers the much needed high-level feedback on the stability and performance of their apps. We'd like to make this work on top of other data platforms (at least the monitoring part, the automated tuning would be much harder).

Case studies: Thanks, we're working on them. Check our Spark Summit 2019 talk (How to automate performance tuning for Apache Spark) for the analysis of the impact at one of our customers.
Or here's a study of NYC pregnant women (who were in hospital for delivery, not for coronavirus) that found 13.7% positive by PCR (not antibodies, active infection):

https://www.nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/NEJMc2009316

Verity et al. estimated IFR around 0.6% back in March, based on stuff like the Diamond Princess, again no antibody tests:

https://www.thelancet.com/journals/laninf/article/PIIS1473-3...

This is broadly consistent with the latest serology. NYC implies a bit worse if we divide excess deaths by antibody positives (though they haven't published their methodology as far as I know). Preprints from many European countries imply a bit better.

And ~0.2% of NYC is dead from coronavirus by now. So if less than 5% of the city has had it, you think IFR is >4% there? And you think NYC's announced serology data is ~15% false positives? Even though the total positive rate--which would include both true and false positives--in serology studies in most other cities (which haven't been hit nearly as hard as NYC) is far less than 15%? This makes no sense at all.

The simple explanation for Korea's high CFR is that for a disease where most countries have failed to trace ~100% of the cases, they're failing to trace about half. I think I've seen their public health authorities speculate exactly that, though I can't find the link now.

Inciting public panic is a different kind of harm from inciting public complacency, but it's harm nonetheless. I urge you to correct the misinformation you've posted above.

ETA: And really any single IFR is inherently misleading for this disease--the IFR climbs so steeply with age that it will vary greatly with population age structure, and with whether the disease disproportionately hits the most vulnerable (like when it spreads in nursing homes) or least (which should be our goal, since if we're unable to avoid herd immunity from recovered cases before a vaccine comes then that will cost the fewest deaths). But that's what was discussed above, so I stuck with it.
It shines the most in "soft computing"; computer vision, etc. These also tend to be the least-important areas to explain or audit, partly just because they're so trivial to verify with nothing but human intuition.

Where it becomes problematic - and where DL isn't actually very well-suited anyway - is making "real decisions"; things that would normally be backed by rigid logic.
Conventional wisdom says no, decreases in the national currency value of bitcoin would reduce interest, but the halvening won't.

The reason why is that electricity for mining is priced in national currency, so interest in mining bitcoins depends on a miners future expectation of the value of bitcoin price in national currency when they sell the bitcoins to pay the electricity bill. The current wisdom is that the halvening decreases the amount of bitcoin that miners receive while increasing the USD value of bitcoin because it decreases market supply and the perception of market supply.

> The trend in renderers is extremely clear, nearly everybody is building a GPU version, and the makers and their users all report pretty big speedups with GPUs...

The 'trend' of the US government under president Trump is also extremely clear. Sorry, I couldn't resist. :)

TLDR; This 'trend' is not economically viable except for two parties. Makers of GPUs and companies renting out GPU rigs in the cloud.

Aka: it's just a trend. It's not that anyone sat down and really looked a the numbers. Because if they did this trend wouldn't exist.

It's also history repeating itself for those that do not learn from it. It will not go anywhere. Mark my words.

Would you like to do this kind of innovative use on the corpus of scientific articles? Yeah, you can't without specific partnerships, because that corpus is spread between various publishers and locked behind paywalls. (Who have not contributed a dime towards actually doing the research in question.)

So if you're an academic, please stop working with closed-access venues; and if you're a citizen demand the right to access and redistribute the results of publicly-funded research.

There's also a self-heating can startup.[1]

Self-heating cans have tried many times. Either the reaction isn't energetic enough, and most of the can volume powers the heating, or it's too energetic, and there's a safety problem. Or, after dealing with those problems, the can costs too much.

> 0. Volunteer time may be cheap, but it's not infinite. Without standards, the volume of articles could become so large it will be an impossible task to fact check and edit them all.

The importance of fact-checking and verification are in my opinion proportional to notability, and editors will naturally flock to verify articles that they have an interest in or are generally notable. So what if the Bulbasaur article has some inaccuracies?

And frankly, the problem is unsolved -- read the wikipedia article on "hypnosis" and cringe at what appears to be the script for a poorly made thriller. At least we could splinter that article into multiple articles talking about the treatment in fiction, which has notability in itself compared to the semi-mystical ravings on the main page.

The other complaints are related to notability as well. I'm not saying that we should treat all articles as definitive -- we don't even do that now. The correctness of the article is a function of the dedication of contributors which is a function of the notability of the subject; this reinforcement happens organically.

Frankly, I'd welcome more skepticism approaching wikipedia content because that skepticism forms the basis for people becoming editors rather than seeing editing being something reserved for an elite class of self-diagnosed "experts".
