FB aren’t wrong to highlight that this will have a detrimental impact for many thousands of publishers who offer content for free, due to the fact they run an ad supported model.

Those apps will still show adverts, publishers will still get paid, and advertisers will still pay to show ads. The only thing that needs to change is the way Facebook choose which adverts to show. Instead of an algorithm based on huge swathes of personal data that they've tracked it'll need to be a simpler "what categories of ads should we show in this app?" form. Adverts will be a bit less effective, which could drive revenues down a bit, but the sky is not falling on the ad model.

The real thing that Facebook are sad about is the fact that they will no longer be able to sell access to the tracking data. That's a lucrative business, and it's one that only really benefits Facebook and data brokers. Cutting off their supply of tracking data isn't a bad thing.
>I support it because of "the China thing". Not because I think China is inherently bad (I am capable of separating China from the CCP) but as long as the CCP enforces heir draconian laws that don't permit foreign companies free access to the Chinese market I think this should be reciprocated. Any other response is reckles

If this is the case, why are they forcing them to sell specifically to a US company rather than any non-Chinese company with less draconian laws (EU, etc).
previously: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=24284613
Most of the Chinese market is already freely available to European companies, so the "tit for tat" measures tend to be small as well, just raising tariffs on products of companies receiving government subsidies or whatever.
Drop (née Massdrop) makes a number of fairly 'normal' QMK keyboards. From smallest to largest, the Alt, Ctrl, and Shift.

Then there's Ergodox EZ, a company which makes the eponymous ortholinear split key (my daily driver), as well as a 40% keyboard called the Planck, and a new next-gen ergo keyboard called the Moonlander. These are designed from the get go to use layers, where each layer assigns its own meaning to keys, and that's where QMK gets really powerful.

There's a whole ecosystem of kits and group buys if you're looking to make a hobby out of it, but if you just want a keyboard you can program, these have you covered.
If I was paid several millions I wouldn't really care about not finding other jobs afterwards. You can retire immediately with that kind of money.
>If "free access" were permitted, these Chinese companies would surely be absolutely crushed by their US counterparts and its citizens would forever be consumers of US goods while forever providing the cheap labor to produce them.

I feel like if you were to replace China with Europe your statement would still apply for the software sector.
It's only accusation and yet until now they didn't have any proof beside being jealous of what China and Chinese companies achieved while playing dirty by pressuring them.
Latency to where? One of the promises of starlink is reducing latency over mid distance - say transatlantic or even across the states, due to using vacuum rather than fibres. Will be interesting how HFT use it.

Starlink network is nowhere near complete so I’d expect things to only get better (until customers start piling on)

The way the python interpreter works, there's no way for tensorflow to know you're using a for loop in order to optimize it. With method calls and operator overrides etc, tensorflow can hold off evaluating your graph, see what the final thing looks like, and then compile it efficiently.

You can think of tensorflow like a different language where the syntax tree is constructed of python objects. For loops end up being like a preprocessor macro on that syntax tree. They can add a predetermined set of extra nodes, but the "for loop" part isn't represented in the final syntax tree itself, so tensorflow doesn't know it has anything to optimize.

There are ways out of this: one is dynamic graph execution. But this is less optimizable. Tensorflow doesn't get to see the whole graph so it can't do as many optimizations, and it can't optimize for loops because it's actually executing eagerly on each loop iteration.

Another way is this article: write whatever python code you want to generate some transformation, and tensorflow can try to guess which efficient operations produce it. Then you can paste the efficient operations into your final program.
Having spent some time wrangling colors recently, I'd love to know how you came up with the palette used for the letters in the top title. Any clues welcomed!
As with all things AWS, it depends.

Yes EFS is 30¢ per GB and S3 is 2.3¢.

But S3 also charges $5/million object writes (and 40¢ for reads), but EFS is "free" (factoring burst capacity, per-instance maximum throughput limits, etc).

Couple that with EFS' lifecycle migration allowing you to get storage costs as low as 2.5¢/GB for many write-once-read-(almost)never after 7 day applications, things get a lot more complicated.
The author reduces her efforts to a ‘trade’. How is this different to how Terry Tao thinks about his field? Wouldn’t his ‘personalized heuristics’ about how to solve a problem also look like profound ability to an outsider?
You can solve them with pen and paper. And yes, you are using algorithms then too but not in the same way as on a computer.

But anyways I think you read the title kind of opposite. Instead I think it is meant to reflect that algorithms and data structures, which in general have many uses, are here being used for the purpose of problem solving. I.e. to let readers know that it is specific.
This is amazing. I know there will be latency issues, but for majority of web browsing, videos, etc, it shouldn't matter.

We are entering the era of spacenet and the future looks bright.

Imagine having devices as small as phones or set-top boxes that can directly access internet using satellites. It would lead to a revolution in many industries.
Latest-generation devices contain hardware fuses purposely designed to make prevent downgrading. I think that tells you all you need to know about the position the industry has towards downgrades and whether updates are in the interest of the user or not.
But the PPD allowing white supremacists to beat the shit out of antifascists is OK? If you ain't antifascist you're just a fucking fascist.

One small improvement comes to mind after trying some language combinations – the chosen languages could be (pre)selected on the results page under the heading "Find names for a different language pair", so that it would be easier to try different languages combinations while keeping one language constant.

I do software development in bursts (think productive weekdays + long weekends) and do all my updates in the downtimes. One day Snap decided to update Slack right before an important meeting. To a, yes, broken version.

Another angle to this is that had Slack not been a proprietary platform, I would've taken time to find or help develop a sane client that is -e-a-s-y- possible to fix.

To me, this whole TikTok escapade highlights just how dangerous the situation has become with privacy and "tech". From everything I have read and seen, "TikTok" is a gimmick, another frivolous way to kill time, a passing trend. This is not a company that produces anything important for society. Except when we consider that what the app purports to be for its users or advertisers is not its true value/purpose. TikTok is a surveillance vector. We can all pretend that privacy is not a serious issue except amongst tinfoil hats, activists or those tasked with defending the tech industry. However this bizarre story, to me, suggests otherwise. Personal data, access to it, the right to spy on millions of people, carried out by the private sector, is now being fought over by nation states. Younger generations should be up in arms over surveillance. Instead, at least in the US, they want to use these apps and work for these shameful companies. Older generations, who should know better, are willingly using Alexas and the like. Interesting times.
Why would HFT even consider using it? They are located as close as possible to the exchange they operate on, not across states or halfway across the world.
If you're in the EU you should have a right to send it back.

In Germany, we have something similar, although with two orders of magnitude less deaths. The conservative Berlin Interior Senator Frank Henkel and his top officers decided in 2016, right in front of the election, to move spies from observing Islamist terrorists to observing a couple of left-anarchist "occupied houses". The result? One of the Islamists was Anis Amri, who half a year later infamously murdered twelve people at Breitscheidplatz: https://taz.de/Anis-Amri-und-die-Rigaer-Strasse/!5510622/

The priority setting of interior politicians seems to be ... messed up across the globe.
Guess what? The new TV uses that software too, so it’s about as slow.
I own a LG smart TV. Wary of those and other problems I never connected it to the net. I bought it because it cost only 50 Euros more than the dumb model and the display looked much better, which should be the main point of a TV.

If I really want to do smart things with my TV I attach something I control to one of its HDMI ports (phone, tablet, laptop, Raspberry.)

I'm not thrilled about the idea of TV sets with an embedded 5G SIM that I can't disable. Worse if they'll only work if online.

Edit: example of 5G and TV https://5g.co.uk/guides/5g-tv/

The critiques against Shakuntala seem similar to the critiques against GPT-3 - maybe she memorised the root table, it only works for integer roots in a limited range, and so on. The question is always - how magic is the magic, and in fact isn't it just a useless trick?
She has done exceptional calculations and she used to do shows where people got to ask her random number multiplication and they'd verify it with a calculator.

She wasn't a fluke. Unfortunately, she didn't contribute to Maths because she didn't have education
The possibility of another 9/11 became non-viable about 10 minutes after a second plane hit the WTC. It's the reason Flight 915 didn't make it to Washington DC.

The passengers on 915 received the news of what was happening in NYC and the Pentagon and rushed the cockpit and the terrorists. You can't hold a plane hostage if the occupants know you are taking them on a suicide mission.

If I understood it correctly Starlink doesn't send between satellites yet, only sat<->ground. Sat<->sat is a big point of starlink and when they roll that out the latency should go down, especially for starlink<->starlink comms I imagine.

Removing your energy source (fossil fuel) and replacing with energy storage doesn't fix anything - where does the energy to fill that storage come from?

They need sat-sat links for that, I think the current generation of starlink doesn't have that so initial customers will not see that kind of benefit, their data will be bounced back to a ground station from the same satellite.

They make trades at one exchange based of prices at another. For that reason there has been a lot of microwave relays set up between New York and Chicago, for example. Starlink could reduce latency from New York to London, another important center of trade.

Honestly, the way this is framed sounds to me as if we were still living in the 15th century where "aristocrats" are trying to live as far away from the "plebeians" as possible.
I'd assume latency from endpoint to satellite back to terrestrial base station.

I can get satellite Internet right now with 40Mbps down / 5 up, but the latency is 800 to 1000 ms, so it's slow.

To respond to both the parent question, and this comment: indeed, this is black-box optimal control in essence.

However, this method is just one small aspect of the SciML [0] ecosystem now. The article is a little outdated in that sense.

Once obtaining your NN control parameter, it's now possible to use Sparse Identification of Nonlinear Dynamics (SINDy) on that parameter to recover equations of motion governing it [1].

The real promise of these methods is to use the universal approximator power of NNs to get around the 'curse of dimensionality' & uncover presently unknown representations of motion within any system. Take a look at [2] for a more detailed description.

Maybe it's because I've never owned a dedicated TV and used a lot of computer monitors, but I've always treated TV as just another kind of output device, not independent system.

They try to use "smart" features to promote their products, but instead what they do with them shortly after the purchase has exactly opposite effect.

Also some of them (Samsung) intentionally break some (or all) smart features in some cases [0]. Even if they are legally allowed to do so (And of course they do. Who reads TOS...), it makes me really uncomfortable to buy any "smart" TV. It's a pity one cannot buy a dumb TV with quality picture and sound today.

> How one talks about fondling random women is not something I'd use as a measure of their ability to lead a country

Holy bejesus. And how is his ability to lead a country? Do you think it is as good/poor as how he seemingly treat random women?

On the topic of ethics, how about the ethics of having sex with (and then paying off) a porn star, that's not gossip since the courts have basically confirmed Stormy Daniels told the truth.

How shallow does your judgement go (oh I can guess, but I thought I'd prompt you to do some self-reflection)? Being a leader is mostly about people skills, and his rapey hands should make you ask whether he respects women or not, and whether that would extend to him respecting other people or not. OK Genghis Khan was a good leader, he also did a lot of raping, sadly for Trump and his defenders the kind of leadership needed nowadays isn't the 11th century kind and I doubt he could ride a horse fast.

ICT has a huge problem. We've been collectively in denial about it for far too long. My cohort at compsci classes in uni was a class of ten, in an industry only 20-30 years deep at best and already the gender ratio was in decline. (This is the seventies)

When i have my own house, i do plan to centralize everything in it in one rack somewhere nice, optic fiber in every relevant room, vlan, backup server/nas etc. Alone something like this does require quite a lot of hardware.

You can search for "travel router". These things are built exactly for this. https://www.amazon.com/s?k=travel+router

They usually have an interface so that when you get to a hotel, you can either plug them into the hardline or they will let you connect and then select the hotel's wifi and enter the password.

The great thing is that all your devices will already have your travel router wifi info saved. So when I go to a hotel and fire it up and connect, all our phones, ipads, Roku, even an Amazon echo we sometimes take will will all connect right up.

Sometimes I even luck out and the lan cable going into the TV will be unmetered. One hotel I was getting 100mbps up/down all week for free.

In my experience (multiple clients in rural area) low speed (1.5 Mbps) with low (50 to 80 ms) latency will outperform 40Mbps/800 ms latency connections for video.

I'm not sure that's revolutionary outside of very rural areas or in a desert.

Smart phones and set-top boxes etc can already access the internet without satellites, and often with much better latency.

What would satellites add for urban or sub-urban applications?

I do appreciate the extra competition that satellite internet brings. Especially in parts of the world with suppressed competition (like the US..) this could have huge practical effects without having to be a big deal in any technical sense.
