You don't need carbon to store energy, you can just stop at hydrogen (or use nitrogen to make ammonia).

Processes can be refitted to use pure hydrogen or it can just be added in small increments to existing gas burning plants.

Replacing anything that burns fuel with carbon in it with alternatives that dont is a better solution.
Why do you say so with such certainty, though? I find it nearly impossible that you never saw someone claiming the opposite. There's even such a response to your own comment so clearly this experience is not universal.
Why was this upvoted? This does nothing with “hot swapping”...
I don't know about that. I live in Alpharetta that is an hour commute from Heartsfield Jackson International airport in Atlanta. In the last year, I had three business trips to the Bay Area - where I flew and took Lyft and Caltrain/Bart. However,I had two business trips that were a 5 hour drive away and in both cases I rented a car with Enterprise in Alpharetta and had them pick me up and drove the entire trip. I had a business trip to Denver and after evaluating ride share vs renting Hertz I took the rental and drove and parked at the hotel near the conference center. It was cheaper to rent than deal with the vagaries of ride share with a long drive from Denver International Airport to the University of Denver and if I would be picked up at 4 AM for my red eye back home the next day.

As someone over 25, renting a car is dead easy and seems to be cheaper than multiple ride shares. When I had business trips in smaller southeast cities, renting a car and actually driving the entire trip was more convenient than air travel because I got to listen to podcasts the whole way instead of dealing with the airport and still needing local transport when I got there.

The trouble is that people have been sold this idea that ML/AI can do amazing things, without properly being told that really the things it can do are quite narrowly-scoped. They've been sold the Star Trek computer idea.

For example, years ago I was working on a prototype/proof-of-concept thing for instrumenting industrial machinery with stick-on small computers. Simple stuff - attach accelerators, temperature, humidity etc sensors to existing machines and collect the data and send it back.

The management thought we'd be able to apply machine learning on the data to get "business insights" from the all-powerful machine. They didn't know what these insights might be, just that ML/AI would generate them and therefore make the business a fuck-ton of money because AI generated novel new "business insights" that no one had thought of before and so transform the business. They thought it was just a magic box that would generate unbounded magic answers for their needs by passing in just some temperature and humidity readings or whatever, and then it would tell them they need to make more brown bread and less bagels in the North East region etc.

In reality, as I understand it, currently ML/AI requires us to know what the possible answers can be before we even begin training the network. So the classic example is it needs to know that the possible MNIST digits are 0-9, or that you are looking for one of 100 image classes etc.

You cant train a network with the MNIST digits, and then have that network tell you what shares to buy or sell.

Sure you can lop off the final layer and repurpose some of the middle layers, but you still need to train it to classify the inputs into categories you define up front. It won't give you a novel answer that you have not trained it for.

... at least that is how I understand it. Things may have changed over the past 5 years or so.

That said, I do agree there have been some cool things lately like machine vision etc. I don't think it will be that huge an industry though - it feels like a lot of it is largely just commoditised now (which is good) and it will be just like any other library you pick - like picking a UI framework for a web app. Just pick up a pre-trained network from modelzoo and get on with your real business requirements for 99% of people using ML, while the other 1% (at FAANGs et al) and academia churn out new models.
I'd put it like this: The insitutionalized legal and political system can address lots of things simultaneously. The public attention (news cycle etc) has strong limits how many topics it can consider simultaneously. The focus of public attention is also important because it influences the political system (democracy and all).

Currently the focus is on systemic racism and police violence. Trying to move focus to violence between blacks would absolutely take resources away from fighting racism (which is often the intention of those bringing up the topic).
i love the archive for what the have done, but they seem to think laws don't apply to them because they are a non-profit and helping spread information, etc. that's fine and dandy, but they still have to play by the rules.

you can see people like "hopfscotch6" and "differentguy" in this thread saying people should basically be giving things away, because that's the right thing to do. not sure how anyone can support that. commies who think life will be unicorns and candy if everyone gets everything they want for free. lmao. can't wait til we purge these radicals.
"Master," in many contexts, need not be associated with slavery. You can be a (grand)master at chess without having any slaves. You can have a master's degree without having any slaves. In the case of git, I don't think there is a clear connection to slavery either (the non-master branches are typically referred to as feature or development branches). So unless chess grandmasters and master's degrees are going to also change names, I don't see why git needs to.

Why we switched from Flask to FastAPI for production ML
Like the author, I also wouldn't mind a Smalltalk syntax flavor for the whole Swift language. ;-)

Though having used Python a lot, I've also become something of a fan of braceless, indented syntax, which I find to be clear and conserving of vertical space.

But I do understand the main argument for making it C-like: they wanted to make an easier transition for Apple developers who were already using Objective-C, and others who might be coming from Java/C#/C++/JavaScript/et al.. Also Smalltalk's syntax, while simple, orthogonal and versatile, simply never caught on the way C's did.
That's an interesting page. Perhaps off-topic, but I'm never sure where meta can be discussed so I guess a subthread of a subthread might be reasonably out of the way / collapsable.

Some of the changes are clearly good: "Article: Learning how to learn (with 20 study references)" was changed into "Learning how to learn" which is indeed what it's about (the article prefix is useless, the "with 20 references" sounds a bit like WikiHow's "with pictures!"). The "google relentlessly continues to attack on X" title was changed to just "google add experimental flag to do X" to make it more objective, also good.

But those are the minority: another titles was first edited to change "54" into "fifty four" (how's that useful?) and then edited again to omit the number altogether (how is that more helpful to the reader?). The "CDC denies tribes" title was changed to not mention the CDC at all, now the tribes are simply "thwarted" (hiding info, why? AFAICT nobody else was involved in the thwarting). The interview date "May 2020" was removed (helpful how?). "My daughter and I made a site to explore the ~3.5M photos from the ISS" was edited to remove the 3.5M number (just why?)...

Not even the author can edit a title iirc, this is all needless moderation at best or harmful at worst.

The word "pandemic" is not a major trigger in public health. PHEIC is the trigger.

"Pandemic" may have psychological significance to many people, especially those who don't know about global public health policy and have never heard of the term "PHEIC." The WHO feared that the psychological impact of using the term might actually be counterproductive, because it signals that the spread of the disease cannot be controlled. In any case, SARS-COV-2 objectively did not become a pandemic until long after a PHEIC was declared.
> People tend to be heavily influenced by their environment as they grow up.

Are you referring to the country's history of slavery, segregation and mass incarceration? Because I'd agree that "the environment" that black people are raised in is definitely shaped by racism, past and present. That you acknowledge its existence as a footnote makes me think you're underestimating the impact of 400 years of treating people as sub-human.
The theory is that an increase in X causes an increase in Y. You've pointed out cases that have a high X and low Y as counterpoints. But in order to make the point you're making you need to provide evidence that increases in X have not lead to increases in Y, so we can control for initial X.

Back to cancer, heavy smokers who did not develop cancer are an example of some X for which X->Y is false. Like you said, you would need to take a random sample of cases and see whether Y correlates with X against a control group.

You introduced the concept of Asian countries having lower rates of social unrest, and I have never said this is related to race at all. Perhaps you are reading into the genetic confound in the cancer example, but it was just intended as an example of a confound within the analogy. There are plenty of differences between life in these countries and elsewhere that can act as confounds.

How would you know? What would someone intentionally violating noncompete mention it to an employer?
Yeah, the idea of enforcing such artificial limitations on an digital book are disgusting not to mention dangerous, as these can very easuly be missused to surpress undesired works.
There's no technical reason to make this change, it's an annoying change with literally zero positive impact on the world, this won't abolish slavery nor will it help anyone, it may help the promoters of this stupidity to feel better about themselves, like "look at us! we are aligned with the PC agenda! We're sooo progressive and docile!"

You need teachers who are passionate and regard it as a vocation rather than just another job. Pay and qualifications don't necessarily imply this.

Poor discipline in a school can demoralise a teacher.

You also need to get rid of teachers who are badly underperforming. This can be very difficult, which is also demoralising.

I've gleaned the above from having many family and extended family members in teaching.
I wasn't saying they were worse. I was replying to a concern that we will end up with multiple names that mean the same thing. I mean, this is modern technology...it seems like only the hardware guys can manage consistent naming, and even that is slipping. On the software side? I can only think of rare things which don't have a half dozen synonyms.
wtf? You people created a problem that didn't exist before, and now you're attacking people for not caring about a non-problem? The origin of the work "master" is not "oppression" and "slavery", it's simply "control" or "authority". If you don't understand this, and if you think that others should care because you are offended by a non-existent problem that you have created, then software is absolutely not the career for you. What comes next after "master"? Binary? Admin? Terminal? Kill? Server? Abort?

> Since the US Dept of Ed was created by Jimmy Carter, can you show positive results and benefits of this approach?

The Dept of Ed is pretty far removed from what the grandfather comment is advocating for, so I'm not sure why they would advocate for it.

It doesn't establish curricula, it doesn't run schools, it doesn't even run accreditations. 92% of current funding for primary and secondary education is state or local-level.
And I'd vote for the latter - but since we're talking about moving things beyond the reach of any government, it's not like I'm actually able to vote on it, am I?

Some of this would be considered a feature by companies. It's more defensible to have unknowable AI deciding to do illegal things than programmers hard coding illegal things. Which really boggles my mind. When my kid does something illegal I'm held liable. When an ML algorithm programmed by a team of people does, nothing we can do about that!

I don't think "main" is a good replacement because it loses the notion of it being a branch where the finalized and production ready code goes. It could just as easily mean "where we do all the work" (i.e. trunk based development, which I also dislike the name of), and I think that's potentially confusing to new people even more than "master" (although not as offensive to some people apparently).

If I'm going to rename my default branch, it'll likely be "release" or "final" or something.
I envy your ability to be certain about such complex and nuanced topics. To type unverifiable opinions as fact without the least bit of embarrassment is breath taking. Thank you!
You might want to check the stock market prices before repeating that argument.
Sure, use WAL journal mode and then run "PRAGMA synchronous=NORMAL". Documentation is at https://sqlite.org/pragma.html#pragma_synchronous . The default is FULL (compile time option SQLITE_DEFAULT_SYNCHRONOUS ) which makes SQLite durable, but naturally causes a fsync() at every commit. With NORMAL it only runs fsync() once it checkpoints from WAL to db file.

I run it with synchronous=NORMAL, but set it to FULL for specific transactions which I want to be durable. Then I turn off auto checkpointing and manually run WAL checkpointing in another thread once it is relatively large. That way it runs fsync() really rarely. That more performant setup is a bit complicated (and error prone) so it is no wonder that it is rarly done. Though I hope Firefox does it nowadays.
1) Fascinating.

2) You could probably get a movie deal.
Like others are saying the progress towards AGI isn’t great but each individual subdomain is seeing great advances all the time. Object detection, facial recognition and NLP with GPT are much better than they were a few years ago. Each of these can provide business value to a certain degree, but I would agree that something resembling AGI holds the most business value. For this to happen all of the pieces have to be put together somehow - right now research focuses on specific subdomains and improves the SOTA on them. Once someone figures out how to make everything work together, it could mean a second, much larger wave of AI. So the question is, when will that happen?

A company isn’t better just because their interview process has more coding. The “best” tech company depends on your goals, but if one of those goals is to have the opportunity to work with some pretty brilliant people and rapidly grow as an engineer, you can certainly accomplish that at Amazon.

It’s an interesting phenomenon how young people create pecking orders of which companies are the best to work at while at the same time having very little experience to make such conclusions.

> Folks have told me to "just go to Google" don't understand the anguish of being worth 75% of a human at best, and not having the intelligence to pass an interview loop anywhere consistently.

The majority of SW developers in the US make less than $100K right out of college. Are you suggesting they are less than 50% of a human?

And most Google employees make less than what the top earners in hedge funds make. Does that make Google employees less human?

I'm not a counselor, and I suggest you seek one. However, the warning signal in your comment is "Folks have told me..." Why are you letting other people tell you what constitutes value?

Sorry that I keep riddling my comments with anecdotes and stories, but here's another one: A friend of mine spent over a decade trying to get a PhD. He's smart, but there's a lot more to smartness that is needed to get one. He kept having problems (some from his side, some external). I told him for years to quit - the PhD isn't all that great a goal. But he insisted on sticking to it so as not to be a failure. Last year I had to tell him "Be prepared for the inevitable depression after you get the PhD and then realize all that effort wasn't worth it."

He graduated recently. Let's see how he holds up.

If Google is good for you, I hope you get in. But be prepared to discover the opposite if you do get in.
We have also been watching these machine learning models for 6 months:

- increase the volatility in virtually every financial market they touched

- be exploited by adversarial learning networks to amplify funded propaganda as news

- use poorly contrived sentiment analysis to generate incomprehensibly meaningless news headlines

These non-linear "function approximators" have absolutely unpredictable and insane non-linear behavior where learned information was non-existent or sparse.

God help us all if one of these artificial intelligence devices is driving the road and sees a red stop sign that is a square, rather than a hexagon.

This is changing. In natural language processing just in the past couple weeks OpenAI wrote about their GPT3 model which can learn some tasks remarkably quickly, after only 1 or 2 examples. That model has extreme compute requirements, but it shows strong progress on performing never before seen tasks. There is still some steam left in the current deep learning boom.
