I've been here off and on for almost 9 years. For the most part, I expect (and certainly receive) a near continuous stream of amazing, informative, creative, insightful, and above all useful content... for free... from people like you, among others. But this is a buried comment several levels deep, for which the entire stream of cascading parent comments have no votes. It may be a broad generalization to assume wrongthink trolls are the cause, but it follows an observed pattern across social media.

SV circlejerk or not, I'm more uncomfortable with the passivity to "definitely not a place for free thought and people voting up discussable viewpoints they don't happen to agree with." I don't care what whomever upvotes; however, downvotes with the intent of burying comments behind a content filter is a deliberate abuse of the system. I'm sure I could find a violation in the TOS too.

In the above case, I expect better from engineers, entrepreneurs, and experts in STEM and STEM-proximal fields, because everyone here knows the faulty thinking I just pointed out. If you didn't, if the next person didn't, none of you would have made it through learning basic programming, design, or business logic. No one here would have any basis for expertise in much of anything.

We shouldn't defend shrugging at behavior that undermines the authority and influence of this community. Is 13 years of massive success worth shrugging away? We're all smarter than to allow this crap.

> They feel policing plagiarism turns them into a parking warden or a cop, when they want to be more like a coach, older student or parent.

This is new, then. When I was in college, plagiarism was treated as serious academic malpractice, practically on the level of a crime. The gravity of the offense, as well as the ease with which it can be committed, was emphasized. If you quote even a few words from a source without proper attribution (typically as dictated by the MLA), you are plagiarizing. This was drilled into our heads.

Great comparison, but I’m sad that D lost out in the popularity wars. Talk about a versatile workhorse that is appropriate for 90% of (non-GUI) tasks.

D is a valid competitor of Rust, that just happens to smash Go in the process. All the ergonomics of a high level language like c#, decent (toggleable) garbage collector, the ability to write all your scripts in it... the list goes on.

It lacks options in the editor and tooling department (although VS Code support is great), but that comes with community size.

Seriously though, your collection is pretty neat. My mind wanders at the thought of putting a synthesiser-generator around the collection of 'fake' panels, such that they end up actually doing something .. if there were a way to use colors as layers, could maybe even use that as a hinter for an automatic signal flow, hmm...

Do you want it enough to not only pay as an upfront price what your lifetime value would have been as a subscription customer, but also cover the difference from other people being unwilling to?

A lot of people will subscribe for $50/month for something they'll be using for the next 5 years but won't pay anywhere near $3000 for it.

Particularly for work, where smaller monthly purchases are a lot less hassle to make than big once off purchases. It can be the difference between chucking it on the work credit card and having to go through the purchasing people.

I swore-off Nest entirely when they shut down Nest API access to anyone but themselves. That killed it for me because I wanted to control my HVAC thermostat from my PC and without firing up Chrome or Bluestacks. I also wanted to log my own long-term thermostat and front door lock history as the Nest app only shows 10 days tops, without CSV export either (why?! That’s a horrible artificial limitation!)

The second thing was seeing Google continue to somehow justify Nest Cameras’ lack of local storage as somehow being a good thing (check the mod posts on the Nest support forums - it’s laughable). That’s idiocy. My house’s coax cable conduit is exposed where it enters the house - it’s trivial to sneak-around the perimeter and snip the coax with a pair of kitchen scissors and then all of my Nest cameras are useless. Why can’t they be configured to save to my LAN’s NAS as a failover?

It sucks for me that the decision to shut down external access to the Nest API was made literally days after I dropped over $1500 on Nest kit - but since then I haven’t bought any more - I’ll be transitioning over to other brands that respect me as a consumer, instead of locking me in to their ecosystem of products designed around the demonstrably false assumption that a home’s internet connection is 100% available.

Wow, this is such a superficial analysis. The article was clear that this was also linked to wealth: wealthy people were not affected.

We're talking about large scale societal trends. Can you explain why, in a certain period of time, millions of people just decided to create lifestyle issues of their own making? What makes these people different from previous generations? How can we not talk about the overall economy, for example?

In this scenario would you be relying on a proprietary extension to interact with GCP developed by Microsoft? Surely you would want to use a Google or Third-party developed extension to do that right? And in that case the developer of that extension would have a vested interest in making it available to you again, potentially in a forked version of VS Code. As long as the editor is open source extension developers can just fork it and create a new public directory of extensions. The only thing you potentially lose is Microsoft's proprietary extensions which are likely to always work well with Microsoft products and you really shouldn't use them to interact with Microsoft's competitors.
Right now, BigBird is encoder only so it doesn't generate text. Causal attention with the global memory is a bit weird, but we could probably do it.

GPT-3 is only using a sequence length of 2048. In most of our paper, we use 4096, but we can go much larger 16k+. Of course, we don't nearly have as many parameters as GPT-3, so our generalization may not be as good.

BigBird is just an attention mechanism and could actually be complementary to GPT-3.

While that's true, I don't see how this is relevant to SIMDe? SIMDe lets you compile code using (e.g.) SSE/AVX intrinsics for ARM targets, using the target platform's SIMD intrinsics when possible. It doesn't even officially include support for AVX512 yet.

My understanding is that Neanderthals didn't occupy that large of a region. There are ancient human ancestors all over the globe but actual Homo neanderthalensis did not leave modern day Europe.

It is actually thought that this could have contributed to their decline. Compare with modern day humans who explored the whole globe: some ancient dude even paddled his way to Australia! It's hard for a species that widespread to go extinct.
On the other hand, Safari's WebKit being open source allowed Google to build Chrome on the same engine. Years later, Chrome's Blink engine being open source meant the same for Opera, Brave, and Edge.

Not really. The proofs are more of a curiosity really. I think the strong performance on QA takes that require multihop reasoning give some evidence that the model is capable of complex reasoning.
SIMDe is sort of the reverse: running existing code using SIMD intrinsics of platform A (e.g., Intel SSE) on another platform B (e.g., ARM). It's a great boon for portability of existing SIMD code.

Some additional salt in this particular wound is that the use of the Marketplace of VS Code extensions is also proprietarily licensed. So all these open source developers are shoving their extensions into a competitive advantage for one of the world's largest tech firms.
What does this mean in practice? I guess it protects from the competition. Such as the VS Codium project which provides VS Code binaries without the proprietary parts. But also, as a consequence of this, without the Marketplace of extensions.

There’s No Such Thing as a Tech Expert Anymore
Given the fact that you have to download both extensions separately and intentionally from the VS Code binary. I would say that VS Code does indeed meet the technical definition and spirit of open source. I don't know a major open source IDE that does not have closed source and/or paid extensions that you can purchase/download. I find this argument kind of strange, neither of these extensions are part of VSCode proper, sure they are nice but to ding the base editor because MS did not hand these out is a bit of a stretch.
How to Reduce Your Cloud Spend
My uncle once explained the best, and often only, way to negotiate a raise is get another job offer. Without it an employee has no leverage.

In this case, the deworming treatment was allocated randomly (see the paper [0]). Giving the deworming treatment to children make them less poor than those who did not get the treatment, and there should be no baseline differences on average between the two group of children since the allocation was random.

Is going from "deworming children make less poor" to "the worms cause poor outcomes" such a stretch?

Ah nice, I'll check it out! Yeah, at the minute they're from left to right but I've been doing some research into a graph-theoretic approach which looks pretty interesting.
Probably a lot.

First, neanderthals were closely related to Denisovans. In Denisova cave itself, both neanderthals & denisovans were found and even a first generation hybrid. So.. you could call it a denisovan-neanderthal complex with various subpopulations over time and geography.

The altai neanderthals have been suggested as a subspecies/type... so there are differences there.

In europe and the middle east, there's a decent phenotypical distinction between early and late (classical) neanderthals. The earlier type was less distinctively neanderthal... kind of more sapien looking. Later populations developed that distinctively bony face.

..Sapiens too, probably. We descend mostly from a small population of sapiens, but that doesn't mean other populations didn't exist. They just don't have descendants.

For example, modern europeans have a relatively homogenous, low level of neanderthal DNA. At different points of history, certain populations could have ben 25% neanderthal... and genetically distinct from other groups.

This is all normal mammalian population dynamics. Modern Sapiens are the unusual ones. We went through a genetic bottleneck and lost a lot of diversity.
Sounds like it heats up and cool down your vials in certain way, that allow enzymes sold separately to replicate DNA chunks of your specification, through Polymerase Chain Reaction reaction, so that DNA in question can be optically or electro-mechanically detected/observed by sheer volume of it
At 0.4% it looks more like a recessive trait.
The world needs hover for touch screens. Someone sort it out.
Conversely, I find it a bit weird when people anthropomorphize corporations as if they have personalities and traits that somehow live beyond an almost 100% turnover in staff and senior management changes.

The MS of today isn’t the MS of the 90s. That’s not to say they’re virtuous and wonderful today, just that banging on about the past doesn’t really feel relevant.
The taboo of discussing salary is just a tool to keep the employees in the dark, so that it's easier to negotiate with those who are less market savvy.

I have also heard the reasons why it is "also good for the employees". Like, "what if you are more productive than your colleagues, and you get a higher salary than them, then they would be jealous of you, and it would make the workplace interaction awkward". Yeah, pull the other one! In real life, if you do similar things, the differences in salaries are random, depending on negotiating skills, and the market situation in the year each employee was hired. And, of course, geographical location; the most important job skill is to be born on the right side of the border.

> post a low offer initially, and gradually raise it

If you do this publicly, the people who accepted the initial offer will notice they made a mistake, and will either ask for a raise or start doing interviews with other companies.
I sometimes write code portable across SSE4 and NEON, and I'm not sure this is going to work fast enough for that. There're important unique features.

SSE has shuffles, pack/unpack, movemask, 64-bit doubles, testzero, float rounds, blends, integer averages, float square roots and dot product.

NEON has interleaved RAM load/stores, vectors operators with scalar other argument, byte swap, rotate, bit scan and population count, and versions of all instructions processing 8-byte long vectors.

That's enough differences that I have to adjust both algorithms and data structures to be portable between them. I'm not convinced it's possible to do automatically.

Three years ago I began working in a new company and was initially on Windows, and was extremely open minded about it.

The most common and annoying error was maven builds breaking because the path of the files being compiled was too long. After a bit of struggling I decided to go back to linux, it just wasn't worth the hassle.
