> The cells in our bodies are being progressively replaced. A materialist, naturalist, or physicalist would have trouble explaining how someone could retain their original identity if nothing of them was left after this process.

Suppose I transfer a virtual machine from one physical server to another using some live migration tool. Of course it migrates the state of all running programs. But beyond that, for all practical purposes, the new VM assumes the identity of the old VM: its IP address, its pending requests, its role in a cluster, et cetera.

Someone might argue that the new VM is not really the same entity as the old VM; after all, it's stored on a different physical storage medium and processed by a different physical CPU.

I'd respond: who cares about the physical storage medium? That's the wrong layer of abstraction to be looking at. A VM does not exist on the plane of matter but on the plane of information. It is not made of hard disks and CPUs, but bits. The hardware is just a way to instantiate it in the physical world; it's not part of its identity.

So it is with people, even if we currently lack a way to transfer the bits representing them to different storage media.
Love the utility! Been using it for a few months now. I’m curious, but is it possible to have the tool change inputs as well? For example, to change from DisplayPort to hdmi, and back from a keystroke.

These rc model turbines pull 20+ kg thrust. In the video he uses turbines noticeably larger, in 50-60kg class. Granted such small turbines have low efficiency - low compression - so they burn 0.2kg fuel per 10 kg thrust per minute. Thus 4kg per minute for 200kg total weight of which fuel is 60kg at best, thus 15 minutes hover at best.

Once it becomes more popular we'll get turbofans, and that will improve the efficiency.
It also adds in the assumption that your randomized setup is correct. That is not always the case, and in a lot of situations it's not trivial.
The same happened with home prices.

I'm talking overqualified on paper---in terms of education and other credentials. Absolutely this doesn't translate into the brilliant coworkers everyone here moans about not having, but that that's due to a bunch of systemic things:

If:

- Jobs were less pointless

- School reward system wasn't all screwed up

- Jobs required more skills

People would be "smarter". Without that, of course y'all gonna feel like you're surrounded by smug idiots.
Even in the Frenchest Quebec-nationalist parts of Canada you have to work pretty hard at being a belligerent jerk to not get served at a restaurant for not speaking French. People tell stories all the time about this sort of stuff, you hear it second and third hand.. you go visit yourself, viola! Folks are just pretty decent and eager to engage in commerce with visitors!

Complaining about being forced to learn French in school is some classic "western alienation" Canadian politics stuff, the Canadian equivalent of Americans being angry about having to press 1 for English and 2 for Spanish on the IVR.. one can only sigh at the triviality of these matters..

> If you need arbitrary precision because of the pathological features of a particular family of graph (expander graphs, say), and the scaling of the needed precision links directly to aspects of that graph pathology, this is really telling you that the eigenvector computation is not the most natural “computation basis” to approach this phenomenon — and some explicitly discrete algorithm would make this latent complexity relationship manifest.

Or perhaps you just need to perform your eigenvector computation in a more hospitable ring or field?

To give an example of the flavour: many graph computations are more natural when performed on their adjacency matrix over tropical semi-rings. First and foremost shortest path computations.

I fucking love them, with a caveat. If they are written in such a way as to optimize readability, that’s when they really shine. The audience of these tests should be other humans, and they should be written in a way that makes it easy to read.

However, if they’re written in poor English they can muddle the intention and make it harder to read. They might actually make the tests even more confusing as you now have to figure out what the statements are trying to say. This is especially clear if you’re working with teams that don’t use English as their first language.

Despite that, I do think overall it’s awesome to use such tests in most cases.
You could counter that claim by actually providing a list. You will quickly find that there are far more applications written in Java, Go, NodeJs, Python, Ruby and C/C++ than in Haskell.

EDIT: Please see the TIOBE rankings just to see where Haskell is. I think it is currently at 43

The WinRT ABI does implement some new features, yes - but they’re all still implementable with nothing more than standard C# code with no special support from WinRT itself (in fact, the WinRT ABI integration is being stripped out of the runtime and cswinrt is the way forward).

C++/CLI ultimately still uses the same features the runtime uses for p/invoke calls, though it uses slightly different IL to transition to native code since it doesn’t have to worry about an external ABI within a mixed mode assembly. Sure, there’s a whole compiler that supports this weird mixed mode world from a language perspective - but it’s really boring at runtime.

I don't think money is the issue. For one thing, your company is paying you, so it's not like it's free labor. For another thing, it's often just easier to do stuff yourself.

For some tiny job it takes less effort to just do it than it does to ask someone else, especially when there are all kinds of union rules. One task leads to another, and then you need to find someone else to do that job.
I remember reading iOS have been handling touch input interrupts with high priority (vs normal priority in android) along with HW accelerated UI Kit ~ 5 years ago in topics such as 'Why iOS is more responsive than android'; I presume android now does the same or has improved in other ways as the latency in even low-end phones aren't drastically slow when compared with iPhones.
It'll be solved anyway. By folks who want to do it. They'll just do it. Leave the morality to the philosophers.

I am looking for Software Engineer opportunities and any other roles that match my profile. Preferred start date: Feb 2021 or later
Except that a VM hasn't lived through any events in its life (since it's not alive and doesn't experience anything anyway), and no one would care if it had or hadn't. Also, there are no ethical issues with destroying a VM.

The same is not the case with people.

It would matter to a lot of people if their loved ones were the ones they knew and had intimate contact with, not some clone of theirs that simply shares their appearance and memories.

The person to whom it would arguably matter most is the person getting destroyed or killed. What comfort is it to them that some clone of their lives on?
> I think a tech union is very unlikely but would rather things get fixed before they get that far.

There is no need to wait for a "tech union" to unionize tech offices. Kickstarter unionized last year under the Office and Professional Employees International Union.
The problem I see with ML on stock prices is that stock price is not a function of the various available numerical indicators. Markets are non-deterministic and chaotic systems. Contrast that with driving, where the decision to turn left, right, throttle, etc. is largely a function of the features (surroundings, current speed, etc.).

That said, people are using ML to predict future prices, although no hedge fund claiming this has published their returns.

With regards to reinforcement learning, why not just try it? Numer.ai is an ML competition that gives you free obfuscated stock data and rewards you if your model is successful.

I don't think I understand what you mean by "discounting" murders. If you mean to "excuse" (i.e, to condone) the murders, then I would say that there is no excuse for murder by either BLM or the police. But you say that don't condone violence, so I'm really not sure what you're asking. If you truly don't condone violence, then I appreciate that immensely. But the majority liberal position seems to firmly excuse the violence, minimizing it and blaming it on others, and your initial post seemed to come out of that position. It still reads like that, since no mention is made of the widespread violence and arson.

I also mentioned the National Socialists of the 1920's, as I was comparing the present violence to violent political movements of the past. The KKK hasn't been relevant since the Democrats abandoned it, except for leaders like Robert Byrd who stayed in power as Democrats for decades. I don't feel like the Democrats have changed enough since that time in their methods, only in their stated goals. I don't think it's relevant if this happens to be a Republican talking point. Facts aren't any less true if someone we don't like says them. I also don't know what significance saying Democrat-controlled vs Democratic-controlled has - what am I missing?

I don't want to commit to a position on Rittenhouse because I'm sure that we will be much better informed after a trial. From the initial video, it looks like he was running away as fast as he could but was shot at, which would make his actions self-defense in a lot of jurisdictions. Some states have stand your ground laws, but many require you to try to flee and he clearly did so. But there are all sorts of details that could change that, like it being illegal for a minor to have a rifle in Wisconsin, and IANAL.

I was surprised and disappointed to see no mention of VR. Seems like a key area where significantly increased GPU performance can make a big difference, but it doesn't seem to be in sharp focus for nVidia. It may accentuate the direction Facebook is already taking to move more and more to mobile chipsets but that should be something nVidia would want to minimise if they were really smart about it.

How is minimum wage or labor unions different from competing suppliers engaged in price fixing? (The suppliers being workers, and the product, human labor)

This is not rhetorical, I want perspectives I may have missed.

My initial thought is that it Is similar to price fixing and has negative consequences, but there are perceptions of positive consequences that make it socially unacceptable to not go along with it?

This is such an obvious way to game the system though, if they had put literally any effort into trying to make a system that can't be abused, they would have caught it.

There's a Star Trek episode where Riker discovers a transporter copy of himself on an abandoned outpost. He'd transported out years earlier, but the 'Riker' who stayed thought the transport had failed. Lived on by the skin of his teeth for a decade.

They kind of glossed over the morality - a wasted episode really. Didn't say much about which was the 'real' Riker. Didn't seem to care.

Despite its significant potential for improving patient outcomes, brain monitoring is still not easily accessible, interpretable or actionable in many clinical environments. A lack of reliable strategies for data-driven patient stratification massively hinders the development and deployment of potentially life-altering interventions for devastating neurological ailments.

We're going to fix this, and we'd like you to help.

We're a small startup founded by numerical programmers, neuroscientists, ML researchers, and practicing neurologists who are committed to translating our best-of-breed clinical research from the lab into hospitals and beyond. We're well-funded, well-connected, and own a well-labeled set of brain data amassed over the past decade at some of the most prestigious medical institutions in the world. This dataset is, as far as we know, the largest of its kind in existence. We intend to put it to good use.

Our team is composed of neuro-experts, open-source enthusiasts, audio/DSP engineers, programming language nerds, and generally easy-going (but dedicated!) folks. We're adamant that...

- ...successful product development requires rapid, early feedback from real users.

- ...feats of technical wizardry are only useful in combination with honest, frequent, and open communication.

- ...a diverse team builds more robust systems and practices more meaningful science.

We have a few different roles available (Data Engineering, DevOps, etc.), and are always happy to chat with interested folks! To apply, check out https://boards.greenhouse.io/beaconbiosignals.
