Depending on the level you're looking for, I'm always a huge fan of Rockafellar [0] for the more mathematical expositions (they're lovely, clear, and very well thought through).

Even in this case, though, subgradients may not exist (they're only guaranteed to exist for convex functions and any nonconvex function has, almost by definition, at least one point for which there exists no subgradient), in which case one talks about sub-derivatives instead. These always exist whenever a function is semicontinuous (such as the "if" statement example given in the GGP comment), even if it is not convex [1].

All of this is to say, the subject of general variational analysis is mathematically nice, but computationally extraordinarily difficult.

The first proofs of even local convergence of GD to local optima (not stationary points!) with high probability, even in the case of smooth, differentiable functions, only recently emerged as well, and the results are rather weak in the sense of limits [2]. Query-hardness has also been shown for many examples (even with unbounded computational time) in [3] even when the functions are smooth.

The non-smooth case becomes even harder and you have exponential-size query complexity in the number of dimensions even when you restrict that the function cannot "vary too much," locally (i.e., if it is required to be L-Lipschitz) [4].

Why would you send currency to an address if you haven’t verified its identity. The tools are young, if there aren’t enough controls for you yet then don’t use them. I don’t, but I respect the power of the technology and it’s future potential.
Much of the work in speech synthesis has been about closing the gap in vocoders, which take a generated spectrogram and output a waveform. There's a clear gap between practical online implementations and computational behemoths like WaveNet. As you implied it's hard to quantitatively judge which result is better, papers usually use surveys to judge.

Here's a recent work that has a good comparison of some vocoders: https://wavenode-example.github.io/

Edit: WaveRNN struck a good balance for me in the past but is not shown in the link. Tons of new work coming out though!

The way I see it is Redux is a local normalized store which can then be used via the selector pattern to generate custom objects / views. With GraphQL you are requesting that derived data to be generated for you via the query language.

Regarding managing state I don't see GraphQL helping with that at all.

> I remember the first time I saw "Fountain" by Duchamps, which, for the uninitiated, is a urinal, on its side, signed and dated by the artist

I totally, completely agree with your point and with the parent post ("I could have created this", "but you didn't"), but...

...you can still, after all of this, conclude that the piece of art is snobbish, artless garbage. In fact I reserve the right to do so. I agree with your premise and still think "Fountain" is worthless as art. I could indeed have done this -- and yes, I see the irony, "but you didn't" -- and didn't because I didn't think it's the kind of art I want to make or celebrate. It's Duchamp's right to create it but I'm not a mean or ignorant person if I dislike it or consider it snobbish and not worth my time (or even "not art").

I don't know if Fountain is or isn't art. I "know" it's worthless to me. This is a discussion we must still be able to have, otherwise we can't say anything about artistic endeavors unless it's positive...

I'm glad you have the humility about potentially being wrong that the math-illiterate journalists don't. Instead, they have doubled down on their initial freakout.

Most people, I think, treat this like poker. You get a few new data points, and you shift your chips to locking down. You get more data points, you start taking them out. Reasonable.

The journalist crowd, and some of my relatives, went all in on the lockdown. They could either look at the new data, and chill out and admit they overreacted for 2 months, OR they can just try to shame me for not wearing a mask when I'm riding my bike on a trail in a massive, empty wildlife refuge.

you certainly can. Our goal is to minimize this need for you, but any team with experience already has some problem signatures/alerts for known issues, and we've tried to make it easy to capture those.
Our ML helps even this chore in one way - if you're building a signature relying on a log event - normally this is done with regexes, but you're at the mercy of a developer not changing syntax. Our ML will track these and ensure they signatures don't break if the log format changes in a future rev.
Practically speaking everyone knows what you're talking about regardless of the term you use, but you're not correcting anyone when you replace the more precise term microgravity with the less precise term zero-g.

The ISS is in free-fall around the earth but there is also a tiny amount of atmospheric drag and tidal effects from other bodies like the moon- it is not zero g.
You shouldn’t trust Pixelmator. They basically took every single complaint about Pixelmator, sat on those for years, and instead of improving Pixelmator they pretty much abandoned it and suddenly released Pixelmator Pro with all those features and fixes instead

It’s the same as Flexibits updating Fantastical, switching to a subscription model (the app used to be €6 but now is €50/y) and both putting old features behind paywalls and ‘unlock this with premium’ buttons everywhere that you can’t hide

I just can’t & won’t trust companies that pull switcharoos like that

Affinity are good folks as far as I can see, and haven’t pulled stunts like that yet

The article states:

"Ethereum users can dictate the terms of their transactions, setting both the amount of ETH they want to send and the amount of fees they are willing to pay. The higher the fee, the thinking goes, the more likely their transaction will be included on the next block — i.e. it will go through more quickly."
Don’t do that. If you don’t trust yourself not to make a mistake, use a third party with better controls. If none exist yet, wait.

The fact that those controls haven’t been built yet doesn’t mean the whole idea is flawed.

That's what sukilot said: it is a fallacy to assume that people would pay for content that they can't pirate. In actuality, it's the other way around: people pirate content that they can't pay for (either because they have no money (at all or in a currency that the publisher accepts), or because the publish refuses to deliver the content (either at all or in a format they can actully use, ie not DRM-encumbered or otherwise defective)).

Interesting. According to the Facebook Crawler link provided by the OP [1], it makes a range request of compressed resources. I wonder if the response from the OP’s PHP/SQLite app isn’t triggering a crawler bug.

Maybe Cloudflare can step up and act as an intermediary to isolate the problem. Isolating DoS attacks is one of their comparative advantages.

I think most people who are not familiar with ASL don't understand that ASL is an entirely different language with completely different grammar, morphology and semantics. It's linguistically as distinct as it can be from English. It's probably closer to an English speaker learning Chinese than an English speaker learning German or French. Most people imagine it's just a relex of English where English words have "signs" and then you keep putting them the same order it's in English. Well no, ASL has it's own set of inflections, affixes, suffixes etc.
A funny story (well, funny because it didn't happen to me) was chronicled on a recent episode of Corey Quinn's "Whiteboard Confessions" -- https://www.lastweekinaws.com/podcast/aws-morning-brief/whit... -- where Slackbot's auto URL unfurling feature "clicked" an SNS alert unsubscribe link when a tech posted the a report including that link into a slack channel. If nobody lost their job over this triggering a SEV-1 alert I'm sure they had a laugh about it later.

Another issue with auto-unfurling links or generating previews of URLs is the potential for stalking. If I'm hunting my ex and I know their cell phone number AND that they have an iPhone I can simply send a link to a website and let iOS generate the preview... which then pings the URL of the website which I set up and I can now run geo-IP resolution and narrow down where my ex is (and maybe I follow up with a well-crafted PDF exploit when I'm ready to narrow down even more on an area).

While systemvoltage was a bit brusque in how the complaint was worded above, these "friendly and helpful" features of Slack, SMS, and other apps can have devastating unforeseen consequences. I question the value of having to opt out of these features instead of making them opt-in instead.

The relevant difference between our examples is not the amount. It's that my example check was cashed and therefore cost me $20. Your example check bounced and didn't cost you anything. If that bounce caused your bank to charge you a $10 fee, I'd call it a $10 typo.
I thought the name was funny and cool when I first dabbled with Linux as a teenager in the early 00s, sorta added to linux feeling rebellious and more hackery.

But nowadays where it has to be used across so many schools because its the only application they can afford I do think it was inappropriate and should have been changed.

Then again I think a better future is possible for image editing, cloning Photoshop poorly isn't the only solution to the problem.
If your look for news articles about Sweden, recent ones are about how the government is admitting it made a mistake.

This is evident if you compare Sweden's mortality rate to it's neighbors (10x higher).

> What I do know is that the US media was vehemently against people congregating outdoors a few weeks ago, and then decided that the risk was worth it when people began to protest for a righteous cause they happened to agree with.

There's differences between going out in crowds without masks and with masks. There's also differences between just causes and mediocre causes.

And as to your last point about Wisconsin: most places aren't Wisconsin. Socal, Florida, Texas and other major population centers are back over their early peaks. And these increases predated the protesting this past week. Things were on the upswing already.

What if, after transporting yourself mentally to the time and place, you still consider it artless or worthless? Is this an opinion that one is still allowed to hold, or would it be a faux pas?

Been going through Conway's (and Conway related) books since his unfortunate passing. His biography by Siobhan Roberts was a great starting point to ease into it (lots of direct quotes from Conway, which makes it a very easy read that still touches on the important concepts in his work, in his own words; also highly recommend all the Numberphile videos featuring him for that)- then:

Winning Ways for your Mathematical Plays is really fun to thumb through.

The Book of Numbers is fantastic and something I would gift to any mathematically curious, somewhat independent, child.

Knuth's Surreal Numbers is also a great read.

Got On Numbers and Games coming in the mail, and am trying to track down a reasonably priced copy of The Symmetries of Things.

I'm tempted to get the Atlas for my collection, but I don't think I'd actually get much from reading it (:

In non-Conway recommendations, The Princeton Companion to Mathematics is a huge brick of a volume, but is a very complete math encyclopedia that I love to keep on my desk and thumb through when I feel distracted. You always end up learning something new.
Of course they were but that's not what any of the popular public discourse has been about.

The composite video output on the back of a computer at a time when many televisions didn't have composite inputs was pretty advanced. At the time, we had to use a converter (I believe to UHF) that screwed on to two terminals on the back of our tv set.

I agree, and did not mean to imply judgement against anyone who dislikes "Fountain" and other, similar pieces of art.

I don't even know how I truly feel about "Fountain" either; all I know is that it is quite thought provoking for me and has taught me a lot about how I think about and digest the world. To me, even if the art is ugly and snobbish, it still has merit if it helps us better explore our world. The art piece's mere existence allows us to have this conversation about the relative merits of different forms of art, which I believe to be meritorious in and of itself.

I think this has led us to an interesting, if for now rhetorical question: what is art for? Well, at least I'll have something to think about for the rest of the day :)

I am not sure how I feel about LinkedIn but I did want to expand on this:

> But one thing I am sure about: no one will notice.

LinkedIn remains one of the largest and best data sets for the recruiting industry. I don't want to speak too broadly since my experience is limited to my current employer and personal experience, but if you remove your LinkedIn you will effectively be invisible to the recruiting agency I work at.

Many companies rely on outbound recruiting tactics since inbound is often too noisy; not having a LinkedIn would dramatically reduce (if not eliminate) the chance of a recruiter finding you without prior contact (referral, application, former colleague, etc). And this is not just limited to recruiters reaching out via LinkedIn. There are companies that scrape LinkedIn and sell that data to recruiting agencies and VC's (and who knows who else).

As an anecdote, having recently complete a job search myself, I have to say that traditional inbound applications (e.g. apply via company website without any contacts) was shockingly ineffective. The difference in traction between self applications using my professional network, job boards, or recruiting markets (e.g. Triplebyte) was night and day.

Since the author seems privacy oriented, removing his LinkedIn is probably the right thing to do, but I don't think it's accurate to imply that there is no opportunity cost to doing so.
I never visit LinkedIn except to update my profile (rare), or following a link in my email from either a message I feel I should reply to, or a job alert that actually interests me.

I...guess I knew there was a newsfeed, I just didn't know anyone actually looked at it.
If you're serious about privacy you should probably use Monero instead of Bitcoin.
> These plans were made not because we really had any intention of invading Canada or Mexico

To be fair, Americans and/or pro-US Texans and/or pro-US “filibusters” fought wars in and opposite one or another Mexican regime (sometimes alongside a competing Mexican regime, as in a war between the Mexican Republic and the Empire of Mexico) in the 1810s, 1820s, 1830s, 1840s, 1850s, 1860s, 1900s, and 1910s.

So, having military contingency plans for invading Mexico in the 1930s wasn't unreasonable, and not just as some kind of abstract exercise.

> You have 2008 script tags on that page. I know why but you could have at least had them remove themselves from the DOM after they were done adding their content.

Unless I've missed something I don't think it works like that. It is just a html document, it comes as is. If you modify the dom the source stays the same?

Also, the html parser does a wonderful job ignoring things like comments and display:none nodes / script nodes. It just doesn't do anything with them. After the innerHTML is modified there is nothing further to do with each script. It is just ignored.

I've tried things like adding a 5 mb comment to the end of a page to see the behavior.
