Why not? Can't they be funded in the same way as intra-mural sports i.e. by the athletes?
If you can handle 25k neurons today that's roughly 19 binary orders of magnitude to 10 billion or less than 38 years of Moore's law type doubling, calling it 2 years instead of 18 months per double. So not that scary. There are different kinds of doubling and who knows if it will keep on keeping on.
And no Snap, although I suppose that could fall under performance tweaks.
The point of the "backspace navigates back" extension is that alt+left is not how people were used to going back on websites.

> Did this research... establish better numbers around it or something?

>> However, this time around, since the data was collected from Firefox itself and not through a web page performing a time-lengthy CSS test, the data was much more accurate and reliable. Furthermore, the data Mozilla researchers collected is also about the same type of data that today's online analytics companies also collect about users — either through data partnerships, mobile apps, online ads, or other mechanisms.
I don't really understand his argument against it.

They have had single digit death rates for months.

Your statement may have been accurate 3 months ago but have you looked lately?

They're done with Covid just like Tegnell predicted meanwhile a good amount of the world that locked down is still fighting it.
Absolutely. It would be interesting to know what information was in this database. It doesn't make sense that it was just a list of people. Did it include known connections? Other medical information? Travel history? And why/how was it being used?
LOL here in Manchester they had ways to spoof their location/cheese the system for ages, it's one of the first things I've learned after moving here last year (had to use Uber a lot).
> That is a supposition that proves to be false.

To date, that may be true. But give it a few decades. With the GI bill and the immediate post-war boom the US is arguably ahead of Europe in terms of the "college access for all" mindset, and cost of college only really became near the turn of the millenium (note that college debt is a "millenial" issue) and unbearable around 2005-2010 or so; so US colleges have had a bit more time to hone the fine art of rent-seeking.

"Onfido provides services that allow companies to digitally prove people’s real identities using a photo ID and facial biometrics, allowing your users to identify themselves anywhere, anytime."

That might sound lame but the technical challenges here are astounding and unlike what you will find at most companies. How do you verify millions of identities a day, within 60 seconds, and with a higher accuracy than a trained border agent? Come and find out.

We're looking for a large number of roles (https://onfido.com/jobs/), including software engineers who know how to build out our machine learning infrastructure to support this growth.

It's niche, but if you're reading this and you have experience building internal ML tooling/platforms then send me an email at tom.forbes@onfido.com.
Beware second-order effects. I can see this going horribly wrong, raising a generation of believably-sounding whiney 'victims' suffering from whatever they imagine could get them something good.
"Please use this format:"
Yep you are right about SIGTERM, but let's think back to the original reason why we wanted to update the node: because of a patch, probably a security patch for a CVE?

What is the better option here? Implement a SIGTERM based process that allows the user to block the patch for a critical, possibly zero-day CVE for xx hours, remaining in a vulnerable state the entire time? Or implement a system that just patches the underlying host without interrupting the workloads on the box?

You aren't wrong, what you described is a possibility, but it is not the best possibility.
I understand that it is a vocabulary choice, but I take issue with calling the price non-objective in that case.

As a toy example, imagine Alice farms Bananas and Bob farms Apples, but each is only able to eat the other food. They would both happily trade forever as they both gain value from this. This doesn't mean that the value is _subjective_, it means the value is _situational_, and I think the rigid vocabulary term and the connotations of the word are conflated a lot.
That would cause the illusion.

Even if it was a donkey. It certainly won't be an inflatable 'guy in a jet pack'. I assume the other pilot heard the jet pack sighting which is why they said it.

But is it the most probable cause of the illusion?
> The other big mistake I've seen is encoding personal data in the token,

You’re right that this is a big mistake but I also thought this was in fact one of the primary allures of JWT - an attempt (misguided) to make session management stateless and avoid that database roundtrip on the server end?
I don't think there's coordination happening on HN necessarily. There is a very high degree of anti-union propaganda in the broader culture, and many have taken that propaganda on without considering or hearing much from the other side. None of the stuff people say about unions on HN is anything I haven't heard a million times in casual conversation with others.
You’ve just described every likable politician ever.
One lawsuit was a Department of Justice antitrust investigation (quickly settled) that required a bunch of lawyers, discovery, and having the conduct run up against the Sherman antitrust act. I think a tech union is very unlikely but would rather things get fixed before they get that far.

My understanding is that the related civil class action suit recouped small fractions of estimated lost wages, though there's a lot of hand-waving there and both sides are going to wave their hands differently.

I might be mistaken; this didn't affect me too much, and I most mostly just amused how incredibly afraid of Steve Jobs everyone was.

Isn't the risk of default/bankruptcy part of what justifies charging interest? If there is no risk for lenders, how do they justify charging interest?
In my experience, high resolution is only relevant to games where the camera isn't constantly moving.

Think DOTA 2 or Civilization 5. They both look amazing at 4K and I bet would look noticeably better at 8K.

Especially in those two, the games assets have enough detail to allow zooming in all the way from a bird's eye view to a first person view. As you crank up the rendering resolution, there's plenty of "real" detail available in the models and textures. You could push these games to 16K and still get more quality out of them.
> Scientists and philosophers agreeing on something means nothing as they have agreed on utter bunk before.

That is an extremely cynical position to take; one could use it to dismiss anything, even things obviously true. For instance, "I don't believe the Sun is powered by fusion -- nobody has ever gone there to take a sample. Sure, they claim to have all sorts of indirect evidence, and there is 99.9999% consensus on it, but scientists have backed things before that were utter bunk."

> It says nothing more than mind exists,

It makes a much stronger claim than that. There are many people who believe that consciousness exists outside the mind, and the brain is a kind of consciousness receiver, akin to a radio receiver, that picks up the signal and relays it to the body. The claim of emergent behavior is an explicit rejection that that mystical explanation that is compelling to many people.

> The short of it is that we know little about the mind and have no idea how to even start expanding on the little we know.

This is entirely at odds with reality. Is it your position that brain researchers haven't learned anything over the past 10, 20, 30 years? Clearly they have, so obviously they do have ideas about how to expand on that knowledge.
It builds a solution into the initial price. However it is often not the best solution especially as things change and once in-place, these are almost impossible to repeal due to the industries and special interests that build up around them. The ingrained solution can quickly become a net-negative.

A perfect example is ethanol. It's pretty clear especially by now that we would be better off investing in solar/wind and electric cars, but good luck getting rid of those ethanol subsidies and related legislation.

The recycling industry itself is another example. Now that China is no longer buying our recycling (due to the extreme air pollution generated when processing it), waste management companies don't know what to do with it and most are just dumping it in landfills. Of course we're still paying them to collect it and requiring everyone to continue sorting.
It seems to not require an app. Apple calls this an App-less experience -- as if having an app was the still supported but the legacy way. In their description of "step 5" at the below link, users can enter an eight digit code or follow a url to inform their phone of an infection.

I see some replies from GH employees. Do you intend to support /v1/search or /v2/_catalog APIs? Would be nice to have access to at least public image listing like Docker Hub's.
The trouble with jetpacks is that there is a large dead zone in the flight envelope. Too high to survive a crash but too low for a parachute to be effective.
Rtings pretty solid too
To be clear, the ArithNegate implementation in CSE that had the bug, as its implementation failed to take into account that the current mode might require checking for an overflow (which is required for the tricky case of -INT_MAX)–perhaps a typo or a copy/paste oversight. I wonder if anyone (clearly not the JavaScriptCore team) has done the work to lift the semantics of these optimizations to something formal and prove that they are correct…
This is actually pretty neat. I'll probably try it "in production" next time I'm looking at an off-brand gadget. It took me a minute to figure out where it was, but the Report Card area does a neat job showing you what reasons they dropped some reviews. Not all of them suggest malicious intent, but there's some good criteria there.

For instance, it trusts "easy graders" less, as well as "brand loyalists" who review a lot of products from the same company. Both scenarios aren't exactly harmful, but can reflect higher-than-fair review scores.
In a game, you are creating a world and bringing the player into that world. The pixels are part of how that is done. They matter a lot.

If you don’t think it’s reasonable for game designers to want complete control of the pixels inside a game they’re building then just walk away from this conversation. It’s a multi billion dollar industry that you’ve taken no notice of before now. I’m not about to convince you of its validity by typing characters into this textbox.
Why? I view being able to do this as a huge advantage. Don't want to lose instance store state just for an OS update and love the kubernetes operator interface to be able to do this. The kubernetes operator also operates at a cluster level which means we don't need to write scripts to churn ASGs. It is eyebrow raising that they have only enabled this for Kubernetes and not ECS. I suspect that this is one of many signs that that the inferior and lock-in prone ECS service will be deprecated soon.

I'd hesitate to conflate the two.

As someone from a mainly secular country, I have often pondered the loss of a central gathering place the places like a church give to society.

A weekly service really helps foster a community. The only other thing that does is schools, but that excludes a huge swathe of people.
> don’t look anything like what a camera produces

The reverse-problem is a pet-peeve of mine: It seems many people have been accidentally brainwashed by Hollywood into thinking that film-camera effects are signs of "realism."

So then the first-person game introduces something like lens-flares, and everyone goes: "OMG it's so realistic now", even though the truth is the exact opposite. If you were "really there" as Hero Protagonist, you wouldn't have camera-lenses for eyeballs except in a cyber-punk genre.
I think for most universities it's not a significant profit driver, but I bet it's great marketing for prospective students.
They the same thing with possible procedural differences (what they get called depending on the type of case) in some places https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plaintiff

Legally speaking they are different, but to the layperson they mean the same thing (both are the ones on the opposite side of the defendant).
That is far from a settled question. Third Party Doctrine has a built in escape hatch test of how destructive and pervasive surveillance method is to the public interest in not being subject to unreasonable searches. This is the fundamental territory of that escape hatch. It doesn't matter if it's "private". If it is too gratuitously invasive, it should not even be on the table.
I'm familiar with how residuals work (and sometimes go unpaid), but in my opinion that's not a flaw in the idea itself, but rather a question of regulation and/or better legal work (in the contracts) to prevent studios from exploiting loopholes.

Earlier in my career, I was the victim of similar shenanigans when it came to startup equity (promises of equity that never materialized), so it's not like the traditional path to IPO precludes deception and exploitation. My point is, with proper legal boundaries, a system of compensation with increased transparency is fairer than the current one that essentially uses a startup lottery to attract employees.
"Fünnef" is / was(?) also used on radio for phonetic distinctness. In English there are "tree" and "niner".
>Makes me wonder - what are we "not" seeing right now that will make us think this way 10-20 years from now?

My vote would be cloth simulation and clothing clipping. I've yet to see a game that comes even close to doing this realistically. Imagine what happens to your sleeves when you lift your arms above your head for example, or how the plates of a suit of armor naturally slide over each other. In every game I can think of, clothing is rigidly attached to the underlying skeleton and it just stretches/clips as the character moves.

I guess fidelity of everything else has gotten much better, because I recently started noticing this and now I find it very distracting in any game that has in-engine cut scenes involving character closeups.
Yep, that's the guy I was thinking of. Glad to see I wasn't that far off the mark.
We must somehow have completely different Amazon Prime video services because the one I have only has 1 or 2 ok original programming shows and a limited selection of mostly at best B tier movies.

I'm concerned because (1) when deep learning fails, it tends to fail in very weird ways and (2) current deep learning techniques tend largely to be black boxes.

So you could end up with a compiler that largely works, but occasionally generates incorrect code, and if it does, there is no "underlying reason" for the code generation error, and you may not even be able to extract a small reproducible case, because the error may only appear when compiling the whole original compilation unit.

I always wanted some way to bookmark sections in podcasts that was worth a revisit. The problem was that I almost exclusively listened to podcasts while driving (pre-covid) which meant I needed a mostly-hands-free solution. If you have something in the works, I would love to learn more.

Unfortunately, since Covid I have not listened to any podcasts. Fortunately, I spend less time commuting.

Good luck with your project!

I'm primarily a full stack developer, with a few years of experience designing and developing APIs that get consumed by single-page applications. I'm happy doing this, but I would also be happy moving towards a more backend-focused role.

My primary areas of focus are the geospatial, financial, and logistics industries.
You missed a few, but not a million other things.

You missed the voter fraud. There are some ingenious and horrifying methods described here: https://nypost.com/2020/08/29/political-insider-explains-vot...

You missed the fact that non-citizens in California have given the state an unfair representation in the US House of Representatives. This one is particularly bad, since the state has an incentive to help people violate the law.

You missed the fact that voters don't even have to identify themselves properly in many states. India and Mexico can manage this, but here it became a political issue. Trust in democracy is eroded because there is no possible way to even tell if ID fraud is occurring.
The major difference is offloading some of the load from the CPU when using the pci-e bus.

If you have a spare core not being used when playing a video game, it can be used which should make the difference between 3.0 and 4.0 somewhat indistinguishable.
When you design software focusing only on the business logic and domain the end result will be better than if you have to do it while juggling implementation and performance concerns.

> We have no metric to use to quantitatively score one design as something unequivocally better than another design.

Given the current state of software development, it's not fair to place that burden of proof here when it's not used elsewhere.

It's possible that wasn't the default setting on Macs back then. I don't know that cgo would be a good choice either, if you're resolving a ton of domains at once. Early versions of Go would create new threads if a goroutine made a cgo call, and an existing thread was not available. I remember this required us to throttle concurrent dial calls, otherwise we'd end up with thousands of threads, and eventually bring the crawler to a halt.

To make DNS resolution really scale, we ended up moving all the DNS caching and resolution directly into Go. Not sure that's how you'd do it today, I'm sure Go has changed a lot. Building your own DNS resolver is actually not so hard with Go, the following were really useful:

There’s no such thing as “European healthcare”. European countries (and I’m going to ignore Brexit and include the UK) approach provision of healthcare in a unique way. For example, the UK has the NHS, Switzerland has insurance mandates, and France has strict regulation of private insurance companies.
You're cherrypicking by focusing on UC in isolation. Higher education funding in California has gone up from ~5.5 billion to ~16 billion nominal from 1990 to now.

Overall funding has gone up - it was just focused on community colleges at the expense of UC, as it should be to avoid exacerbating economic inequality.
> My view is that laws must keep unions from acting in bad faith before forced unions can be allowed to exist.

Who said anything about forced unions? We're talking about allowing unions to exist so that workers are free to join them if that happens to be their wish.

I mean, we're having a discussion on how corporations use their coercive power and influence over workers lives to degrade their lives to serve the interests of a few, and somehow you're expecting to shift the conversation to how bad unions are if we don't get a say whether we join one or not?
Or it could be because US has 4% of the world population but 25% of the coronavirus cases? With supposedly the best brain trust and the biggest economy of the world, we were maybe expected to do better but landed up performing worse than other developed nations that have at least used this time to establish the infrastructure to conduct limited local openings or closings as needed? Maybe we really blew handling covid because of excessive political interference and amplification of fringe conspiracy theories?
