Do you have any suggested resources for learning to implement a CPU emulator, such as for RISC-V?
For loops in AI are actually only there to implement continuous mathematical operations such as matrix multiplications in a single core. Modern AI chips and implementations use very little to no for loops.
If academia is structured the same way in China as it is in the US, that situation won't be sustainable for long there, either. If each professor produces ten new PhDs, the only way for them to all find academic jobs is through very rapid growth in faculty size, which can't be sustained for that long.

But that is only partially true. People socialize a lot less than they used to, things changed in a fundamental way. If you look around in NYC 50% of storefronts are empty and unoccupied. There are multiple reasons for the latter but it still is a fundamental change. Maybe the virtual world is thriving in some hot pockets but the analog world is becoming less welcoming to many of us.
P Collison comes across pretty well in his 'thinking in public' type stuff. The questions are all pretty interesting and important, or at least important to the class of society that he occupies.
education is a highly inelastic good...couple that with essentially unlimited federally back loans and you get price increases year after year
Pretty boring, I must say. Staying inside may drive some people crazy, but it suits me just fine. I have plenty of hobbies to keep me busy. Most of my time and energy is spent on work and I have a reading list so I can actually acquire some education over the course of the coming year myself.

In the fall I plan on getting an IT job, so I'm glad this year has given me the chance to get some experience in technical work.
How to Deal with Challenges of Working Remotely
I don't think that, nor do I think that is true anywhere on this planet.
> It is interesting that the real cost of medical care and hospital services didn't see any sort of inflection change with the introduction of the ACA.

No one expected it would.

> One the key reasons for implementing the ACA -- which I supported, mind you -- was to control rising healthcare costs.

The immediate reason was to address broad consumer affordability, especially for the people that could least afford it and needed it most.

Long-term, overall cost containment was a long-term goal, but it wasn't expected to have that effect in the short-term, and the pieces that contribute to that either weren't implemented at all, weren't implemented fully, or weren't maintained. (And, heck, a lot of the other pieces weren't in place long before they too started being chipped away at.)

For example, the pieces building on the HIPAA Administrative Simplification provisions designed to by increasing the coverage of transaction standards and doing regular modernization so that incompatible ad hoc approaches wouldn't be needed as extensively were largely unimplemented, with the most important mandated standard operating rules never adopted and the mandated regular (3-year, IIRC) update cycle for the standards and standard operating rules never begun. There are mandated dates in law, but HHS never adopted the required regulations. (That's actually one of the more minor unimplemented cost containment measures, but the one I'm most intimately familiar with because I spent a lot of time those rules were in limbo being involved in planning compliance catch-up and forward looking planning for a component of a state Medicaid system.)
Good. A country should foremost look after its own people. Worry about foreigners (gaijin) later.
> True story, last month I just lost about 1 in 10 of my media files on my Linux Share to NTFS issues. So now I run the box on Windows.

Were you seriously running a Linux-based NAS with NTFS as the underlying filesystem, or did you mean something very different? I can't imagine why anyone would ever think their choice of disk filesystem on a server—hiding behind a network filesystem—should be influenced by what disk filesystems are supported by client devices.
Your answer resonated with me a lot. Can you elaborate on this? What is that structural reason?

> The underlying reason is structural -- neither our funding agency nor our institution is willing to yield on a fundamental sticking point that is causing all of our young researchers to leave.
That is a correct definition of regulation - it captures a feedback cycle; but the parent, was clearly meaning government regulation. If customers don't like a product that helps regulate quality, etc...
why can’t you just attribute it to culture? it’s clearly that
Your vehicle is basically your living room. I don't fault anyone for wanting to be comfortable, especially in rural america where its literally an hour to get anywhere.

In countries and cities with usable public transit and density its naturally far less of a thing.
For the first chart/question it’s important to distinguish cost from spending. For example, “food and beverage”: Americans are (at least pre-Covid) eating out a lot more than they were 20 or 30 years ago, so that category presumably now covers a very different basket of goods than in the past, even if they add up to roughly the same number of calories.
Personal observation, but also the app is #12 for news on the App Store and NOS themselves stated in 2017 that the service is popular:

Has anyone confirmed it isnt tagging non-pornographic images? Breastfeeding, breast exam tutorials, sand dunes, etc

Has anyone tested to see if it correctly handles PoC? That demo site it points to almost exclusively light skinned folk.

If people couldn't get the loans the price wouldn't be that high, people don't have the money to pay it.
I accidentally did the same on my Mac via a shell script where I assumed mktemp worked the same as gnu mktemp, it does not. IIRC it was my /Applications directory that was first to be hit; most of the directory was unaffected due to file permissions but it did delete some files despite me catching thee error and sending sigkill within seconds.
Rounding drastically reduces the search space of possible values. A cryptographic hash is no good if you know that the original message can only take on a finite set of values that can easily be enumerated.
I've only been to Switzerland once and that was during a <2 hour layover in the Zurich airport. As an American used to frequently decrepit American airports/infrastructure, I was seriously shocked at how nice the entire airport was. The aesthetic of the airport was just quintessentially Swiss (aka beautifully minimalistic).

When I pay for something with an American credit card in Europe, the machine prints out a receipt for me to sign. I was buying a snack at a store in the Zurich airport and the clerk actually compared the signature on the back of my card to the signature that I scrawled on the receipt. That was the one and only time I've ever had someone do that.

I generally don't put any effort into those signatures so my signature looked nothing like what was on the back of my card so the clerk actually asked me to try again.
This is one of the reason I like used bookstores and thriftshops. I like having a good surprise from time to time and find something totally unexpected. Buying used is also good for the environment
This seems like it could have been a copy-pasted block that is answered at comments with certain keywords (not that I think it is).

That is to say, it has very little to do with the arguments of the comment it replies to, or outright ignores them. It is good to engage people you reply to instead of talking at them.
The answer linked to in Collison's question, https://medium.com/@arnoldkling/what-gets-expensive-and-why-... , is really insightful and interesting in my opinion and goes to a deep level of analysis.
I mean also worth noting that the arm cortex systems are the fastest anyway - that’s thing like snap dragon, a-series, etc
Geez, you seem to have a hard-on for this "more diversity!" issue.

Does it matter much for piloting? It's quite a mechanical job. I'd argue diversity matters more if you have a team of movie writers (how many movies have terrible female/minority characters because of the diversity problems?) or UX designers, but I don't think your race or gender matters much when piloting a plane...

Of course there is probably currently an excess of white male pilots, but that seems cultural and a socio-economic problem, if you fix the culture (e.g. if little girls also get asked equally as often as little boys if they'd like to be a pilot (instead of a nurse; or if the same percentage of black folks can afford pilot school as white folks), shouldn't this problem fix itself?

Personally I'd cheer on a pilot scholarship for disadvantaged groups, because it'd be nice to see them having some sort of advantage in reaching their dreams after hundreds of years of disadvantages, but I don't think having more black or female pilots would change the job, since, as I said, it's quite a mechanical job. Whereas having a woman or minority in a movie writing crew would probably make a better story due to a more diverse perspective.

> The sudden rejection stems from a disagreement between Chinese authorities, the source told the Times. Local officials in Zhejiang, an eastern province that houses Alibaba’s headquarters, gave Facebook the initial permission, but the Cyberspace Administration of China, Beijing’s internet regulator, had not.
Textbooks aren't regulated in the governmental sense (though they are somewhat at the middle/high school level), but there's certainly been more "regulation" in the sense of schools trying to enforce what books are used for what class for their own enrichment.
It’s not even just books that don’t exist online... it’s books that you never hear of because you don’t bump into them in a bookstore. The books you learn about online are selected by mechanisms very different to those that you learn about in a used bookstore.

For me, email has much more credibility than phone numbers.

The email market has worldwide competition, phone providers compete at a local level only. You can choose from thousands of different email providers, while phone provider choices for any given person are ~5.

The effective 'god' of domain names is IANA, which, while imperfect is more trustworthy than the 'gods' of phone numbers: local governments and telcos.

I'd be looking for a tutor in graduate mathematics, and particularly the subjects that I can most readily apply to my work.

In Sydney I don't think there'd be that many available, and it would take time to find the right 'fit'. I don't think you can assume that once a reasonable rate is settled that the partnership would be a success.
The original claim, stereotypes are accurate is effectively tautological given broad based, systemic reinforcement of said stereotypes.

I was, however, responding to claims upthread that were, in fact, claiming inherent attributes were responsible for accurate stereotypes.

Why are you more concerned with my statement that you believe misconstrues the original research rather than the obvious racists above who did make a claim not supported in the paper. Why?

YouTube does pay an order of magnitude more per view, but the average YouTube video is two orders of magnitude longer than a TikTok video, so this compares very favourably to YouTube.

Thanks for the link. I guess I hadn't read enough about this. I still am uneasy about using nuclear power for everything because of the risks and waste. I'm aware that alternate, safer designs exist though they are not commercially proven and often have unsolved problems with either logistics, scaling, or non-proliferation.

I feel that changes to lifestyle and solar power sharing across large geographic areas might be a better and more ecological approach, though I can't quantify how everything would work yet.

The other aspect to discovery though is that mining ever more hard to recover fuels results in escalating ecological damage. Fracking isn't something we needed to do but is possibly responsible for small earth quakes and various kinds of local destruction and pollution for example. I don't know much about uranium mining, but I suspect that it is a very toxic enterprise filled with radioactive acids and tailings.
"As a service" is fine but paying extra cost and weight for non-usable hardware on my new car is annoying for me.
I think it was Freakanomics that had an episode about textbook cost. Their idea was it was a disparity between those choosing the textbooks (professors) to those bearing the costs (students). In other words, it is much easier to increase the cost of a product if those bearing the cost don’t have a say.
In Shanghai I pay $11 per month for 16GB mobile data plus a 50M broadband at home. I pay a bit more than that for the cloud VMs on which I install VPN services.
Americans getting involved in their own electoral process is kind of hard to consider as electoral interference. Non-Americans living outside of America using money to sway things is quite different.
So they have an archaic system that requires comparing a signature? I'm pretty sure I couldn't match my credit card unless I were trying to do it while looking at the card signature. I hardly consider that a benefit.

And I've been through Zurich. I don't consider it anything special better or worse than going through most major European or American airports. [Oh. I take that back. I had my luggage lost on the way there by SwissAir and it was a nightmare finding who to talk to.]
I ran into that issue a few weeks ago. I had a small project that was supposed to migrate rows from a MySQL server into a SQL Server instance.

Most Americans don't care either and it's always weird to me how many mental gymnastics the American tech community will go through not to acknowledge it. The argument I hear is always some mix of exploitation or informed consent. But then you'll also be given evidence from things like the Snowden leak claiming that the controversey there shows how many people care (the same people who don't understand the topic well enough to form 'correct' opinions) and if you're expecting evidence of consumers being damaged in a real way then you're out of luck.

The reality is that most Americans don't care, they might be a little nervous because of the fear campaigns being waged but overall they prefer having useful tech products. The only people who want worse tech products are activists and the Europeans.
"Turn the other cheek" sounds nice in grade school and self-help blogs, but you can't just let yourself get taken advantage of in order to maintain some arbitrary moral high ground.
I'm personally pretty confident that with the level of resources now available for learning almost anything online, you can replicate a lot of the benefits of tutoring by (1) getting students excited about a topic and then (2) teaching them the basic keywords and research skills for that topic.

I find the replacement rate question really interesting. Is there an aligned way we can allow companies to decay once they have stalled in innovation? What do we do about companies that have reached a point of monopolistic advantage but provide no real new innovation (PG&E comes to mind)? In some cases like Internet access, is competition the only driver of affordability or do we eventually have to find a way to regulate pricing on things that evolve to become general public needs. This question likely comes up a lot in healthcare and pharma, but I'm not sure there's a good answer. It's sort of muddled in between providing enough incentive to creators to start things and ensuring that once things do get created, that privatized commercial interest doesn't work to remove the very value it helped create (which happens when the company stops innovating).
I was once browsing Asimov titles in a used bookstore. I had read his nonfiction but none of his fiction. Out of curiosity I picked up a copy of The Gods Themselves, and tucked between the pages I found a folded-up copy of his obituary torn out of the New York Times. I bought the book for the obituary and as a bonus I loved the reading the book.
if you care to look you'll find it's often at the expense of those who aren't part of the homogenous culture. It can be hidden or minimized, but it doesn't make it go away.

Thanks for the reminder—-don’t accept what I said as fact, because we still don’t know. Your CDC link is a little behind the times, because it’s still claiming saturated fats are “the enemy.”

I actually read one of the sources behind your first link just before I posted my first comment to check my facts, and in the parts not quoted by your article it says that responders usually absorb proportional levels of HDL to LDL, making their blood cholesterol similarly neutral to non-responders.

Likewise, my profile suggests I’m active and answering questions as my score steadily climbs, but I haven’t answered anything in a long time.

Actually, I’m a little ashamed to admit that my most recent points are for a typescript question I didn’t even answer totally correctly. It explains something useful about typescript, but I didn’t really address the question properly. People still upvote it, perhaps because it explains something people might need to know if they’re asking the original question anyway. I should edit the answer to address that now that I noticed.

One of my best answers stands the test of time. It just explains how to optimize images for the web, but explains it fairly agnostically by describing compression techniques and image content and how they combine well (or don’t). Not a lot has changed in that arena since 2010.

I would love to help people like I was helped early in my career, but I find SO fairly useless as a platform to do that these days. It doesn’t feel collaborative or constructive when I use it. It’s like a race to get the best answer to avoid throwing insight and knowledge into the void. Not to mention a plethora of other reasons it can be fairly miserable. I tried moderation for a while and I guess that was the final nail in the coffin.
As someone who has written answers dating back more than a decade, if I see a comment along the lines you suggest I'll look into it and update the answer to try and keep it relevant.
