I made https://github.com/JuliaData/Strapping.jl, which is part of an ORM; i.e. it does the translating between Julia objects/vectors of objects and 2D tables. But it doesn't do some of the more "magical" things like SQL generation, automatic migrations, etc.

I think it'd be cool to do some of the SQL generation stuff, but no one has sat down to design something out and how it would work in Julia.

It's called Shadow IT and it has plagued corporations for decades.

Ironically Excel is often the tool of choice, and it happened in an org I was in. A finance team had an Excel workbook they used to calculate payouts to different stakeholders of a set of oil properties. Over time this workbook grew bigger in scope and in data and was becoming unusable, so they came to our app dev org to rebuild it as a standalone application. In the process of rebuilding it, critical miscalculations and rounding errors were found in the workbook, and we owed years-old payments to some of the involved parties.

In a worst-case timeline, the team avoids having the problem solved by IT even longer, it culminates as a critical workflow issue (workbook becomes unusable to the point that the finance team cannot do their job at all and there is no quick solution), and the third parties realize they are owed money and sue.
> walking will not get your heart rate up.

It will if you walk up hills.

Even walking a few miles a day in flat areas is still good exercise; getting yourself outside and moving is a very good start.

I think walking to work or class is also good for thinking and getting your brain working.

Walking/hiking in nature is also great if you are near a trail of some sort.

A Technical Introduction to Reinforcement Learning
Hey HN, I wrote an intro to reinforcement learning (RL) tutorial that tries to balance technical depth and high-level breadth. I hope this can be a useful intro to the field for people who are interested in RL, but don't want to read tons of papers that assume lots of experience with the basic ideas. I've also tried to position this to outline the methods and style of the field, so you can use your excitement/interest from this post to help gauge whether or not you want to explore RL more deeply. At the end of the post I've curated and described some of the best online (and free) resources you can explore if you want to learn more.

I hope people find this useful, and I'd also appreciate feedback and constructive criticism on the writing style, content, organization, etc.

Thanks!

Legal Protect That Works
One thing to note is that it’s worth learning a little bit about how to write performant code in Julia and how to correctly measure its performance when evaluating the language. It’s common for people to underestimate the performance benefits in their first experiments.

There are a few common issues: 1) You measure compilation plus execution instead of just execution. 2) Your code relies on global values that limit optimizations. 3) Your code doesn’t allow the compiler to determine all the types. 4) Your code forces allocations for intermediate values.

Especially 4) makes a big difference when you’re coming from NumPy or MATLAB. If you have a chain of vectorized operations (e.g. “X = α * A + β * B + γ * C”), the performance is quite similar between the languages, but in Julia you can enforce that these happen in-place with a single fused loop and zero allocations (e.g. adding “@.” in front). This can often give you another ~2x–10x speedup and make the difference between “similar to NumPy/MATLAB” and “similar to C/Fortran”.
I'm no expert and can't examine all the bits in detail, however, I trust the likes of FSF and Stallman. So far, they haven't given approval to any laptop built after mid 2000s. I wonder why.
Wait, does that mean GPU support includes NVIDIA only or will it also include (hopefully in future) ATI as well?

It's just a way to have free vetting. If you have a bunch of cash to deliver to startups in order to reap the rewards of lock-in a few years down the line, which do you do?

1) Ask for applications and pay people to mass review applications to pick which startups are more likely to succeed

2) Have 1) be done by proxy for you for free, by only giving it out to startups who a professional "startup success predictor person" has already invested in

They've chosen to go with 2.

This is an excellent point.

Checking wireshark should really be done first.
You need to also count "points at infinity" in the "projective" plane. So the "projectivized" equations are actually X^2 + Y^2 = 1Z, and X^2 + Y^2 = 4Z. The intuition is similar to how 2 parallel lines will meet at the horizion (infinity).
I use the OneLook reverse dictionary all the time to try to find the right word (not for crosswords), but I do wish it were smarter. If only someone would make a deep-learning-based reverse dictionary.

Sadly that’s not what is keep our customers off New Relic. They don’t care that much about open source agent, but they do care about where the server is.

I understand the it’s not triviel to develop, but there is still a huge underserved marked for on-premise APMs, and those you can buy aren’t nearly as good as New Relic.

What Is OpenAI GPT-3 – Hype, Examples, Worries
You are ignoring part of my post by selecting that quote out of context. I also said this:

>Every other industry would do or is currently doing the exact same thing

You are of course free to blame whoever you want, but if you call out the clothing industry for these behaviors while also working in the tech industry which is notoriously guilty of nearly identical problems with its international workforce, I would certainly call you hypocritical.

Either way, I think a more appropriate path to actually fixing the problem isn't to shame the people with the bad behavior. It is to work to make that behavior illegal. This specific example is more difficult than the tax prep issue due to it involving other nations. However there are certainly trade regulations that could be put in place to disincentivize poor labor conditions for companies who wish to access the American market.
Depends on the industry.

For automotive and even ship design a lot of studios are using it (even not openly, but in a "secret" manner).

In AEC many students nowadays use it during university. Some offices use it as well, and if only for Grasshopper. GH is a really great piece of software and you can e.g. even use it with Archicad nowadays.

> Rust actually can do things C++ can't do. People who use Turing equivalence to equate language capability are just uneducated imo.

This is a very myopic view, and misses the point entirely. The entire notion of a "Turing machine" is that any Turing-complete machine can compute any result that another Turing-complete machine can compute. No mention is made of how the results are computed or how the programmer approaches the problem on each machine.

Any Turing Complete language can be used to do the same work as any other Turing complete language or mechanism.

The expressiveness of any particular language does not factor into the equation at all, and does not matter at all when speaking of what is computable and what is not.

You are talking about language features, which is an entirely different topic. All Turing-complete languages are equivalent in terms of their abilities; that is to say that they can all compute the entire set of computable results.
I'm not thinking about ORAM - as you point out, it reveals access patterns.

Thus the reference to data diffusion, i.e. inner words are not stored at a single physical outer address, they are mixed with other data, and the outer addresses used to interact with memory state vary for the same inner address, without the RAM having any secrets.

The outer addresses don't need to be plaintext, but they do need to satisfy relationships with each other that are algebraically useful yet not discernible without a secret.

> with FHE if you reveal anything then you are actually revealing everything

Is this not subject to cryptographic vs information-theoretic hardness arguments: If I reveal to you 2^-256 bits of data per operation (i.e. astronomically close to zero), we'll call that good enough because you can't do enough computation to matter?

It didn't kill 100k, it killed somewhere between 34k and 100k, and did so over a period of well over a year (between December 1968, which is when it became widespread in the US, to end of winter 1970 or thereabouts).

In contrast, the coronavirus has killed at least 150k Americans over just five months.

The wikipedia page for the H3N2 pandemic also lists reasons as to why the death toll wasn't much higher: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hong_Kong_flu#Mortality

Specifically:

"The pandemic did not gain momentum until near the winter school holidays, thus limiting the infection's spread."

If you think about it, this is the opposite scenario of today: our second wave is gaining momentum, and... we're reopening schools.

In our case, I didn’t kick off the process because I would have to send a free laptop to the FSF and we can’t afford that yet. Maybe later.

I remember how it was in Europe; they were ripping people off, it was so expensive. Nowadays you can download YouTube or Spotify to your phone and listen to music but back then it was crazy expensive.
The larger point is that increased mortality attributable to there being a global pandemic can be considered a consequence of the pandemic.

The deaths may not be directly attributable to the infectious agent and disease mechanism of SARS-COV-2 or COVID-19, that is, the virus or disease. But they are, in the absence of another plausible causal mechanism, part of the overall impact on public health.

Gross mortality anomoly is the truest measure of impact.

(Deeper discussions of causality and epistemology omitted.)
Yes. People are mostly not trustworthy.

Happy to discuss the role and direct you to the right people: tristan@cto.ai
Have you considered putting pagination links at the top of the threads as well?
A couple examples:

Rust requires references to memory to be visible at compile time. If you use direct DMA for I/O then the silicon holds mutable memory references at runtime that are not visible in code at compile time. In C++ you can make ownership objects (in the vein of unique_ptr) that automagically track the lifetime of DMA references. Exposing most of your address space to DMA is not optional in databases if you care about performance. DMA has other nuances as well e.g. it can modify memory that is not part of the object you care about and which might be "owned" by someone else.

There are safety models wherein it is provably safe, and optimal code-wise, for multiple mutable references to the same object to coexist at runtime. Modern databases often use schedule-based safety, which dynamically reorders operations on references at a fine-grained level, for performance reasons, and which guarantee correctness of the aggregate execution graph without using locks. This wasn't common a decade ago but it is today. A developer can grab all the mutable references they need to objects, knowing that the execution scheduler can see through and arbitrate any potential conflicts. (This is a sophisticated reimagining of the old "deadlock-free" locking structures in databases without the locks, which didn't prevent deadlocks per se but transparently detect and resolve them.)

You can make all of this work in Rust by using a lot of "unsafe" and inelegant data structure workarounds but it voids most of the safety benefits of Rust and requires more complex code.
I'm sorry I upset you. I hope you get the help you need.
