> This digital emulation could then interact with the rest of the world using a simple text interface or a more sophisticated robotic avatar with digital representations of taste, sight, touch, smell, and sound.

I found this to be the most intriguing bit of the described process. I can digest the (theoretical) idea of reproducing the mind, mostly agreeing with a materialistic perspective of it. What I got myself imagining was the process of adaptation this mind would have to go to be capable of interacting with the new kinds of inputs and outputs it would have. Imagine you freeze a computer while it was running a VR game with max resolution settings. You then go on and move the machine to a different setup, with a CRT monitor and a keyboard to interact with it. How can any meaningful interaction happen in such a context? Unless you provide a virtual environment to interact with it and allow it to adapt... But then, how would such an environment look like to a copy of a mind? Would you have any insights on that?
Constantly rotating nodes in and out of the cluster and restarting/relocating pods, even if mostly automated, causes a lot of needless infrastructure strain. It is IMO one of the most overlooked parts of Kubernetes, and I wish there was a better solution to maintain stable, long-running processes when needed.

> We won’t have a men’s rowing team, or women’s volleyball anymore though

Universities in Australia generally have sports clubs where students play sport at an amateur/non-professional level. And that can even involve a representative team that plays the sport with students from other universities, even a handful of sports scholarships for promising athletes. That doesn’t cost the university that much at all, because unlike many American universities they are not trying to field a professional level team, just provide students with a recreational break from their studies, some exercise and socialising
Nothing is "broken" about it. It's just that when you have tens of thousands of machines that might need an urgent security update, it's very inefficient and costly to destroy all of them at once instead of patching. Destroying machines regularly is not the same thing as frequently destroying all of them at once.
I'm puzzled by the basic premise here. Having a bank as an intermediary or not doesn't seem relevant to the incentives. It was still the student picking which university they wanted to attend.

The reason for eliminating the banks as middle men was just to save money. They weren't taking on any of the risk, or doing anything particularly useful for the government.

I'd agree with the more general premise that easily obtainable loans should push prices upward.

It may be a good investment for the people who actually studying a profession, people who will utilise the knowledge to create new business and jobs or are there to advance the academic knowledge.

But many are just doing it for the "certificate" of finishing some academic studies in order to get a secretarial job in a corporate or governmental body which they could have done with a one month internship. This is not fair for the tax payers which actually finance a very expensive and long selection scheme for useless HR departments. Armies which usually recruit directly from high school are classifying employees much more efficiently and quickly and teach them the job much faster.

So without getting into the argument of what is best, private based or government based education, this type of problem exists now in most countries but nobody wants to talk about it because it is marked as sexist since it affects mainly women who seems to mostly occupy those type of studies and jobs.
At least in Germany research is often done by e.g. Max Planck or Fraunhofer Society. These are public research organizations which are practically part of the universities but their research output is not counted in rankings.
> But recently I started to think that one of the reasons that prevent it from becoming more popular is that the community focuses too much on "mathematical" abstractions.

Many times being in the middle of any two extremes is a pretty bad experience.

If you shy away from math though, you get closer to tapping into the average programmers experience in other languages.

Because of that, it's easier and more familiar.

Those things are good for adoption, but not necessarily a Haskell experience that is so good it's clearly better.

I think the direction Sandy goes in does achieve something objectively better.

My advice is to try it out and don't let the "it's too mathy like Haskell always has been" comments bog you down.

Do be prepared to learn a new paradigm and solicit help from others to be able to learn it in a timely manner.

Different users have different needs. The app was extremely simple when I first launched it because I only needed an UI for ddcctl.

But as I was gathering feedback from users, I wanted to make Lunar usable in as many monitor setups as possible. And very good ideas came out of that (Sync mode being one of them) but it also cluttered the UI with a bit too many configurable values. Those are still needed by some users even though they might not seem useful for you, so I don't want to remove configurability.

I think by adding all these knobs, Lunar achieved the goal of being flexible enough to conform to most types of monitor usage. Now I just have to figure out how to simplify all this without losing flexibility.
Very neat idea. Seamless interplay between layers like that is nifty to think about.
What Poker Can Teach You About Startups
Same. In gaming and graphics benchmarks on my 1070Ti over Thunderbolt 3 (Hades Canyon Intel NUC), I've seen no more than a 10%-20% drop in frame rate vs. what I'd expect from equivalent benchmark results reported online, so I'd expect no material difference between PCIe 3.0 x16 and PCIe 4.0 x16 for typical gaming applications, and, from benchmark numbers I've seen, only a modest performance drop from PCIe 4.0 x16 to PCIe 3.0 x8.

This assumes, of course, that the PCIe lanes in question actually exist† and are dedicated to the card, and are not shared with another in-use device via a switch or similar chipset shenanigans.

Case in point: the only time I ever had performance problems with my eGPU setup was when attempting to do 4K HDMI output through a Blackmagic Decklink card while simultaneously using the 1070Ti for compute over the same (shared) Thunderbolt bus in DaVinci Resolve.

As far as I know, this would not typically be a problem with a single-GPU, non-Thunderbolt-connected desktop system, as desktop motherboards typically have at least one full-bandwidth x16 slot, which you'd almost always use for the GPU.

† Physical x16 slots can have fewer than sixteen connected PCIe lanes. For example, while my HP Z820 has four "x16" slots, only three have full bandwidth; the fourth slot supports x16 cards, but only at the speed of an x8 slot, because only eight of the slot's sixteen PCIe lanes are actually connected.

And what's wrong with that? I mean what values do colleges bring?
College became a political whipping boy in the 80s when the student loan rules changed.

My dad went to City College in NYC in the late 60s/early 70s for $0. Like most of his fellow students, he was a 1st generation child of immigrants, and that enabled him to pursue a world unknown to the family. His dad was a proprietor of a bar; his uncle an able seaman on a tugboat, and other uncles NYC Firemen and Sanitation workers respectively.

Today in the name of equality we have resorts. Students get "deals" from colleges, etc, but those deals have strings and often push out students. I graduated from a SUNY college in 1999; every single one of my friends who went to private schools like Clarkson, RPI, Carnegie Mellon, etc ended up with $80-100k in crushing debt. I owed less than $10k.
deep learning systems are evolving toward similar architectures as compilers (front/back ends, etc) too. Interesting edge to watch
False. The AMA doesn't limit the number of doctors. The actual limit is the number of residency slots at teaching hospitals, most of which are funded by the federal government. Every year there are students who graduate from medical school with an MD but are unable to practice because they can't get matched to a residency program. The AMA actively supports increasing residency funding.

> that men as a class are vulnerable to this kind of illness, and design public health interventions to help divert men

Interesting. The ancient lawmaker Solon instituted public brothels with a standard fee as a public health measure. But people think that s horrible -- damned if you do, damned if you don't. I guess the suggestion is that people shouldn't have sexuality or desires, they should just cut off their genitals and live as vegetables. O what a world we live in
> Are Universities in Europe really that high quality?

Anecdote from a friend studying biochemistry in Milan, but mind-blowing. Apparently, he was the only one in his graduate class to know how to use a pipette and other basic lab equipment. Until that point, their training had been purely theoretical.

There are a lot of other problems in a similar vein. But the quality of American high-access, high-quality higher education from a practical perspective is a solid counterpoint to the European model of high-access, low-cost.

Curiosity begs why(and how) do you do exposures for that long rather than stacking? With my 5D mkII (yes I still shoot on that old carcass) when shooting in West Texas, I get hella heat noise on 20 second exposures. I recently modified a small pelican case to hold my camera, and I was going to use those re-freezable ice packs for cooling the temps in the case down. I haven't been able to take it out for testing though.

I still want to pick up an a7sII. We mounted that to a telescope and cranked up the ISO. We could identify DSO as the telescope slewed to the next subject. It made framing super simple. Once framed, we'd drop the ISO back to realistic numbers for the actual image to be taken. With my DSLR, I'd have to take a 15 sec exposure just to see what I was looking at, and rinse-repeat for each adjustment.
A king's game, to hunt JIT bugs for sport.

The crux of the bug is described in a code-comment (CSE stands for common subexpression elimination):

Is there much evidence for this RAM-type hypothesis? Many animals hibernate but still have their personality and memories intact, similarly we sleep and can undergo long periods of unconsciousness without us or others perceiving a significant change.

Even drastic measures like electrical shocks or chemicals (up to a point) tend to have temporary rather than permanent effects. That evidence seems to imply that most of what we consider as 'us' is the more permanent physical neuron connections rather than the transient chemical/electrical states.
I totally agree and love this list, but also wish for graph queries like OpenCypher. The graph community really needs something like that because right now it’s all centralized, expensive and proprietary, or tied to the JVM.

Clearview.team | Head of Business Development | San Francisco, CA | Full time | Remote | https://clearview.team/jobs/remote-head-of-business-developm...

Clearview is a fully-remote software engineering firm composed of team members distributed across the US, Europe, and Asia. We provide companies worldwide with staff augmentation for software development. From modest roots as a small group of freelance developers, the past several years have seen us grow to over two dozen full-time team members.

Now we are looking to hire a Head of Business Development to drive growth with existing partnerships and lead new client acquisition efforts, developing and iterating on a marketing and sales strategy and building out our sales team.

The position will be fully remote, ideally based in the U.S. with occasional access to the Bay Area. Professional connections to Silicon Valley and the broader tech industry are desired. We’re looking for an entrepreneurial candidate seeking to take deep responsibility for developing opportunities that amplify and empower our team’s innovative drive.

We have a confession to make: Clearview is not a high-growth startup with tunnel vision for making charts go up and to the right. Built by adventure-loving digital nomads working from laptops around the world, our business decisions are made through the lens of what’s best for our team in the long run. While we come from diverse professional backgrounds, none of our management team have ever worked a 9-5 office job -- and it shows. You’ll be entering a culture that relies on elegant systems and personal accountability to get the most from independence as much as collaboration.

Clearview is profitable, privately owned, and seeks to grow sustainably by exploring opportunities that are the right match for us. We’re excited about experimenting with new ways of working together, developing our own products, empowering leadership and entrepreneurship within our inclusive and multicultural team, and building a company that is successful both financially and in terms of human development.
