I don't know how old you are but when it happened I was more interested in watching the cool explosions on TV. In fact, there are some people here who probably weren't even alive when it happened. I'm not saying that it is surprising how people reacted, but rather it gives me a glimpse into how people felt.

Similarly I would be interested in how the public opinion of Hitler changed. There are quotes from some German Jewish leaders in the 30s saying that Hitler should get more power. I too would be interested in understanding how the opinions changed.
I tend to disagree with this premise. Swift, like any language, has some questionable features, but in general I find it extremely consistent and easy to work with. I think mostly what people point to as "extra complexity" comes down to right-sized tools for handling nulls in a correct way, and syntactic sugar which makes it possible for write interfaces which make it possible to write code very close to the level of intent.

When I read complaints like this I wonder if the author has spent almost no effort trying to learn the language and just wants to be able to sit down and write Go or C#.
And, as I’ve learnt, a much more expensive way to do anything else whatsoever. :-)
> On the flip side, if this trader instead made 700k on options, he'd be celebrated as a hero ...

Wait, what, why would I celebrate someone who basically went to a casino and hit a jackpot, and what the hell does that have to do with empowering anyone other than casino owners.
This is a huge fuck-up on Robinhood's part, they should have never given him that sort of leverage.

Any relatively new investor trading options is also a huge mistake, it is surprising he was approved for an account where he can even use options.

no specific questions but thank you for making the videos, they're so much easier to follow than reading an fcc filing (for me at least).

if you setup a patreon, and every time spacex updated a filing you turned around an updated video that week, i'd pitch in. I think you'll find interest in starlink among people with dozens of dollars to spare is pretty high.
> Isn't "the amalgamation of many smaller problems working together and building on top of each other" a fair description of the theorical Unix system?

Yes. Note the success of Unix and the ability to scale, do work and provide an environment to be productive in.

> Aren't your criteria for "intelligence" human-centric, implying that there is no other form of "intelligence"?

Your use of 'human-centric' is odd. I would have thought the traditional 'human-centric' theory of the mind is something monolithic and indivisible. Suggesting that it's many small processes communicating with each other is basically taken straight out of nature, from ants, schools of fish, birds flocking, etc.

Whether there are other forms of intelligence or no, it's clear that incremental progress in individual processes that can then be composed together is a productive way to traverse the energy landscape. This is why (imo) we see so many symbiotic relationships from cells on up to higher level animals.

> Aren't your criteria of the "black box" type, given that AFAIK no human can really completely explain how he recognizes faces/does NLP/walks/...?

I'm not quite sure what your point is here. If you're critiquing me about neural networks being black boxes and not giving us real insight into the underlying system, that's fair and the reason why I said I didn't like the black box aspect of neural networks. I will say that if there is a black box model that can be easily manipulated, this will probably lead to deeper models much quicker.

If you're saying that human cognition is not describable by any human and, I guess, implying that it's indescribable, I would point out that one doesn't follow from the other. Not having a good model right now doesn't imply we won't understand it at some future date and, in my opinion, this is precisely what's happening. Having no human be able to describe the underlying computation (of face recognition, nlp, walking etc.) doesn't mean it's indescribable, it means it's not describable by anyone right now.

At one point we didn't know how birds flew. We still might not know, to your satisfaction, but we have a basic understanding of how to make things fly, both in practical and theoretical terms. Planes fly and we understand how even though they don't flap their wings. I have no doubt we'll figure out how to do complex human-level computation even if we don't have a deep model of the specifics of human thought.
I think most basketball fans would agree with that argument.
Their job is not more dangerous than a pizza delivery driver.
It's depressing here too. LA/Hollywood has a reputation for it's enormous homeless population, and some blame the local government policies, and that's certainly played a role, and could definitely do better, but I think there's a large portion of hopeful migrants who just couldn't make it work as an artist/actor/etc.

That said, I think the internet has made it possible for many of them to find an audience that they wouldn't have had access to before, and eke out a living. They don't become mega rich and famous, and I think we have fewer superstars these days, but a lot more of these semi-famous people finding their audience. Patreon has been doing a lot to foster that kind of thing.
> Java has had decades and millions of dollars poured into its ecosystem to allow the very good IDE experience that we have nowadays

A trillion-dollar company cannot create an IDE on par with JetBrains which has 1200 employees, 250 M revenue, and and has not one, but several IDEs and plugins for several languages (including dynamic languages, including support for multiple versions of a language, including multiple versions of runtimes for a language) that are superior to Apple's one single IDE for two languages.

It's not a "millions into Java" problem. It's an Apple problem.
In that case they can just, you know, stop using AMP.

Adding on, this can be of benefit to all three parties of the trade.

The brokerage gets paid for order flow.

The retail investor will often get a price better than the quoted market price, and the brokerage has a duty of best execution per SEC regulations, so the prices can't be worse very often; the duty is examined in aggregate, so some trades may execute poorly. Order flow payments are a part of how brokerage expenses are funded, one of the factors in the reducing and eventually eliminating of comission charges.

The HFT benefits, as you said, because they're trading against retail investors, and can use techniques appropriate for trading against random trading, rather than trading against sophisticated traders (or other HFT).

The downsides, I guess, are for the traders whose orders are on the other exchanges --- they didn't get your trade, so they will wait longer, and may not get as good a price as if you traded with them. Also, these dark pools may have less timely public reporting on trades, leading to an information gap? But, my understanding is there's already a lot of retail trading with less timely reporting as odd lots (not a multiple of 100 shares) may not have real time reporting.
I reply because this illustrates a part of the problem, actually many of the problems with news and Google and FB.

I have no idea about who RT is. For me it's only a random site linked from a search engine. It could be a news giant or a one man company. I remember the original fact so I trust the article. If this was new to me I would have to cross check with other sources but I don't always have the time to do it.
I feel you and it's not really a reason to throw it away, but that FX CPU uses more power than modern CPUs for similar performance.

I also like my old car and I'll keep it as long as I can but I'm aware a new one would be much more fuel efficient.
Um, yes.

"In Gabon in the year 2015, what percentage of the electricity generated came from Renewables Except Hydro?"
We were skeptical too. We've run 3 sets of beta tests so far, and the results we are seeing are bonkers. Our users who show up and do the workouts every day or every other day are reporting gains of 20% in their strength after Month #1 (the workouts include assessment tests). Month #2 they report gains again. By month #6, one user reported he has reached his ideal bodyweight and is in the best shape of his life. I've been a personal trainer for over a decade and prescribing 7-minute workouts goes against everything you're taught re: the "science." I think it's the combination of behavioral science with the actual workouts themselves. Text-based health interventions have legit science backing them as effective. The rest is discussed in the book Atomic Habits. I think there is a compounding effect on our bodies re the daily 7-min workouts that has not yet been studied. I'm trying to partner with a research lab to learn more!
I think the usual reply to that question is that it depends on which transistor.

Not quite the same thing but there was a Raspberry Pi board on the homepage earlier today which has hacksawed in half and still worked, the person who did that has also cut some microprocessors in half successfully and they still work because they were cutting off bits he does not plan on using and which are not required for the rest of the device or chip to function.

I am sure a AMD Ryzen CPU would work without a core or two. In fact they often disable cores before shipping by zapping a fuse. But if the same transistor on every core somehow blew, then you would probably be left with a dead CPU.

ARM Template deployment, the what-if option for your Azure Deployments
It depends what the product is. If you're trying to build another Zoom (which I gather from the "rooms" question), yes, it will take quite some time. For one thing, the mesh topology of P2P won't scale up beyond a handful of users, so you'll need to make it client/server. And besides time-consuming, that starts to get operationally expensive. Decoding, compositing, and encoding high-resolution video streams in real time take some processing power.
Definitely going to check this out. Thanks for sharing!
Contact the EU and tell them to remove that non-sense rule as it makes the internet waste time clicking annoying things that nobody reads or cares.
You're comparing a 20yr old to a 1yr old. there's some personal responsibility there - how can a 20yr old not know?

The underlying problem with the 20yr old is likely mental instability and depression - far too common amongst the young. The gamble on options for a way out, and having seen this fail, decides that their life isn't worth living any more.

It's a deeper problem than insurmountable debt and not knowing the risks.

For the uninitiated:

Germany passed legislation that requires websites to pay a fee even to show headlines. Google said they won't pay and will pull the plug on Google News in Germany if they need to pay a single cent. The media organizations then granted an exclusion to Google News, giving Google News a competitive advantage.

Are you trying to adjust the volume of the remote audio streams? Can you change value of the `audio` element of the DOM?

This is a horrible story, no doubt.

Broadly, unless you have a million dollars to lose, you have no business putting your money in anything but mutual funds. Even there, only low-overhead index funds are a good call.

Yes, they do. This article about the science behind 7 minute workouts (it's about intensity, not duration) generated a lot of interest: https://well.blogs.nytimes.com/2013/05/09/the-scientific-7-m...
Generally details will still be better the closer to native display resolution you can render rather than rendering to native source resolution and then up scaling.

Even if the textures are blurry (they can be swapped too), the polygon details will be easier to see.
What kind of new media can replace the value old media had? Good journalism and investigative journalism is needed for a healthy democracy and is also costly. It's almost a pillar that holds it up. What is this new media you speak of? Clickbait articles that consist of a bit of text with embedded tweets?

It was a Wall Street Journal (owned by Murdoch) investigative journalist that led to Theranos being exposed.
For a multidimensional array: a matrix will be in stored single vector with metadata showing dimension. The presentation of the matrix (view) will then not matter on the data contained therein.

For q, they are stored as lists of lists, which can mean that their memory is not contiguous. Some algorithms can slow down significantly as a result (eg dense), others might speed up (eg sparse)

However, there are libs in q such as qml which interface with LAPACK and are doing memory mapping so it is not entirely q, just an interface to a C implementation

DANE is a thing but also, websites can and should work without DNS (IP SAN) and alsk, it gets difficult when you have multiple subdomains and when the certificate is for the http host instead of the domain. But for regular sites, DANE with CT logs makes a lot of sense
This is the log of pager (beeper) traffic on 9/11. Because pagers are unencrypted broadcast traffic, it is routinely collected by people for fun. Someone turned the logs from NY over to Wikileaks and they created a public archive.

We have a workout called the "Roxanne" where we do a burpee every time Sting sings "Roxanne..." Turns out 4 minutes of burpees is a lot of burpees too!

And yes what we are hearing from folks is "I can't say I am too busy for a 7-min workout.." so that kinda gets them activated. From there we are hearing that people "tend" to make healthier decisions for the rest of their day. "After doing our workout my wife and I decided to go play tennis..." or, "since I already had my running shoes on, I decided to go for a jog." stuff like that. Users describe it as a "springboard" to healthier decisions.
I love this! Am super interested in building something like this.

IMO there is even more value if this is built with a central server in mind for each weather station constructed. A network of stations working together can begin to create their own hyperlocal weather network and could even be useful in small-scale, short-term predictions.

There are some startups that do a bigger version of this and for a long time I've been wanting to build a physical weather station network.

Super cool work.
One example is civil asset forfeiture. Police can and do stop people at random, see if they have “suspicious” valuables or a little too much money, and seize it. It’s virtually impossible to fight the case and it’s literally free money with zero consequence to the police. If you try to deny them their free money, they just arrest you. It’s legally condoned robbery.

I’ve had friends who’ve been pulled over while passing through Illinois and asked to hand over their wallets just so the cops can count their money. They only had a few bucks and were let go, but I’m sure if it was a little too much, the cops would’ve claimed it was drug money and taken it. The cops didn’t mention speeding or any sort of crime, so their reason for pulling them over was pretty clear. They probably target non-local people because nobody is going to come back just for a hundred bucks or so, and if they need to make up a ticket on the spot, few people will bother to fight it.

There are lots and lots of mishaps in many professions, sometimes with deadly consequences. The United States is a country of 330 million people. Suppose an event is so unlikely it only has 1 in a billion chance of happening--it will happen once ever 4 days on average!

Medical errors, for example, are estimated to cause as many as 250,000 deaths per year [1].

There are millions and millions of daily interactions between police and civilians every year. Sadly, there will be some mistakes, some of which will be caught on camera.

It's important to be aware that what the media can be random, and media coverage is not always correlated with how important or prevalent a problem is.

Another way of looking at it: the effect of the legislation has been to expose that just about every website tracks you.

Websites don't have to put a cookie banner for every kind of cookie. They have to show it whenever they collect identifying data about you. If they choose not to collect info on their visitors, then they don't have to put a banner.
hm, fun. That seems understandable given the status quo.

Very unlikely. Fireworks use against the police more common that you think. You’re just not going to see that many videos of them as it doesn’t help the narrative.
