That would mean the end of competitive sports for women. For many women and girl athletes, it would mean the end of their ambitions, the canceling of a lifetime of rigorous training and hope. Just so a few men who can’t compete against other men can bring home trophies.

Again, this isn't about whether you go out of your way to insert it, but about whether the data type should be able to handle it regardless.

The thing I most wonder about if you start to be a service provider and need to provide ongoing connectivity - you need a backup plan for when you're out of town.
> Isn't that a bit like asking what if the parent is given 10 weeks off and then has another kid. Do they get another 10 weeks off or is it unfair that they get 20 while the person having a single kid gets 10?

Yes, that's exactly right. It's absurd to complain about parents getting 10 weeks off.

I love Julia, but what I don't get in this particular instance is to what extent it actually allows you to write code that you can't with Python. Sure, cassette allows you to do more powerful automatic differentiation, and various GPU arrays packages make writing code that runs on GPUs very natural, but it doesn't seem like that big an improvement over using a framework like TF / Pytorch / Numba in Python. Sure, those libraries aren't written fully in Python, but neither are Julia gpu libraries - you obviously have to convert to CUDA or similar code at some point to run on the GPU.

Julia brings great improvements in ability to write simple idiomatic serial code that runs at near C speeds on the CPU (whereas idiomatic Python code is at least 10x slower if you use an optimal compiler, and 1000x slower if you use the standard python interpreter). But for highly parallel code dependent on element-wise or broadcasting array operations, I just don't see the issue with Python.

How do you treat everyone equally then?
to be fair, that one party is trying to account for a pretty diverse set of constraints. I'm not in the "they can do no wrong" camp, but it's pretty easy to beat up on nearly any company or entity involved w software (name one and I'll list a handful of gripes). much harder to mostly get it right, as I think mozilla does.

We're building a wearable, so we're in the hardware space, but there is processing of data and personalized improvements to each users experience happening every day. I think we're similar to Whoop in this way. Any Whoop users want to chime in about how they feel about the subscription model?

And notably, CUDA.jl or whatever Julia package you use for gpu acceleration still has to incorporate CUDA, the same way Pytorch does.

So to the end user who doesn't want to write CUDA, I don't see why using a Julia package for gpu acceleration is any better than using PyTorch in Python.

The voter intimidation problem only really comes out of adopting a new system where you can check your vote to begin with though.. Our current system only really suffers from that even being a possibility with mail in votes.

> It also has the benefits of allowing voters who in absentee vote early for a candidate that later drops out (i.e. Washington State voters who voted for Elizabeth Warren) to correct their vote based on this new information.

Maybe for a primary it's a useful feature but there are simpler options like ranked choice that could be used to do that. Though there are still uses for votes to people who are out of the race because it gives them voting power at the convention if there's not a decisive winner.

Also if we're letting things change that much primaries are never really over in a state. One of the reason for sequential primaries is that it lets smaller campaigns have a chance because they don't have to compete everywhere at once.
Yes, in the sense that even the Chinese no-name parts do have to comply to some kind of standard.

The selling point with lines like STM32 or NXP is that they have lots of good documentation, Application notes etc.

Simple example, I was looking at trying a weird Chinese part with a hardware NN accelerator but the entire documentation available (Chinese or English) was 10x shorter than the documentation on the serial peripherals alone on an NXP part.

Its because its likely a reprint of a pre-packaged ad/media release that's doing the rounds dressed up as news/an article.

From one of the original articles from the gold-coast:

"The extraordinary story of a Gold Coast private detective paid to gatecrash funerals and tell uncomfortable truths is to be made into an ‘emotional and confronting’ TV series."

They even managed to get the story run by our national broadcaster, which is SUPPOSED to be ad/marketing free, but these days shrug, just dress it up as an article and its on for young and old...

This is not weird or theoretical.

Sometimes you find that in some complicated system, there's a big chunk of overhead which you spend just parsing things. So, carefully, thinking about the consequences, you can decide to use a sentinel for end of input rather than length.

A larger, practical example: a C++ compiler spends a shocking amount of time just doing lexical analysis on its inputs. One thing that Clang does to speed it up is to get rid of the length check, just like suggested in the article.

https://github.com/llvm-mirror/clang/blob/master/lib/Lex/Lex...

/// LexTokenInternal - This implements a simple C family lexer. It is an
/// extremely performance critical piece of code. This assumes that the buffer
/// has a null character at the end of the file. [...]
bool Lexer::LexTokenInternal(Token &Result, bool TokAtPhysicalStartOfLine) {
[...]
if ((*CurPtr == ' ') || (*CurPtr == '\t')) {
++CurPtr;
while ((*CurPtr == ' ') || (*CurPtr == '\t'))
++CurPtr;
[...]
}
[...]
}

There are a number of places in the world where you might find that text parsing is performance-critical. Note that in the rest of the code base, Clang uses really quite standard and boring std::string to represent strings. You don't have to use sentinels everywhere, but it's a trick to keep up your sleeve for the cases where it makes a difference.

And of course, you keep the parts of your code with sentinels self-contained because it can be hard to figure out whether the code is correct without a close reading.
I'm lucky that my daughter just wrapped up Pre-K and is now starting Kindergarten, two "years" that are pretty low stakes in terms of what gets done. With that caveat, remote learning went fine and home schooling is going smoothly (1 week in).

There’s definitely more there than most .NET devs need to know, but I personally have found learning more about the GC to be incredibly relevant in my day to day work. I would have said the same thing a year ago, now I feel differently, but that is of course heavily inflected by my personal experience.
How would you want the system structured? You’re paying for Mozilla to vouch for your add-on and say that it’s safe.

I mean you could try to do a web of trust kinda thing but you would still end up paying someone.

I get where you’re coming from that they could just not have the scary warning but the fact that it’s hosted on Mozilla’s site without a warning already lends a lot of legitimacy to what should be seen as “some random person’s add on.”

It was in good faith, I promise. I think there are multiple definitions of capitalist that are broadly used. I meant it in the “investor in a business” sense. Also, it may be important to reiterate: the idea isn’t to just invest $10 and be good to go. It was just meant to highlight the low barrier to entry, which is very different from buying a home.

Yes and no. If you are living near base station in a big city it will work. But in the countryside where no good connection from ISP equipment to the base station the bottleneck will be this link. Furthermore, 5G uses a higher frequency than LTE, it could be not cost-effective to cover remote regions with small number of users. Starlink could solve problems with cables, but adds problems with RTT. Maybe one day all FAANG companies will open data centres on Earth orbit.

The current data on language-neutral AI-hard tests (analogous to Winograd Schema Challenge (save the textual representation) reasonably concludes that the current AI apparatus cannot sustainably achieve a human-level score (92% or above) on the FLIP-like tests as are used by Idena Network.

Companies stick with it because of Exchange. Office 365 means Microsoft gets to manage email problems in return for money.

Everything else comes along for the ride.

We spend probably 20 hours every month on the phone with them managing various issues. My CEO has asked if we could run our own email server and I have refused every single time for the simple reason that we would now spend 40 hours per month on the same email issues since both source and destination of the complaint would be company internal.

AND we would be fighting getting our email delivered because Google and Microsoft basically dump your email in the trash for not coming from Microsoft or Google.

No thanks. Pay Microsoft. They're the least bad in the space.
That's four times as far away as Voyager 1 is. I see from the link that it would take 25 to 30 years to reach that distance, and only one target could be observed: we would have to have one particular exoplanet we want to image and go to the right point for the sun to focus the image to.

It may well be that people are not killed by COVID-19 but are killed by a disordered immune response to COVID-19, the same is possible true about "chronic lyme disease".

Thus you don't want to "activate the immune system" in general, rather you want to activate good immune responses and deactivate bad immune responses and that is not so simple.

If the false positive of the PCR test really is 2.3%, how are so many places able to have positivity rates consistently less than that, more like .1%[1]? And how can test pooling in huge numbers (like was done in Wuhan) work?

A false positive rate that high doesn't pass the sniff test.

This is NOT "incredibly dangerous". This is the sort of lazy internet commenting that doesn’t rely on actual research.
There will always going to be sceptics. All we can do is rely on solid science and engineering and engage people to address genuine concerns.

The distances we are looking at are progressive from a few hundred meters to a few kilometres. Range is only limited by line of site and an antenna size which is practical. Mind you, we can reduce antenna size and increase range by using passive relays.

At the moment we are working with about 60% end to end efficiency. This is not influenced by weather as we are using near-field atmospherically agnostic frequencies.
In my company the parents have a huge sense of entitlement, so this bad attitude and taking childless coworkers’ time for granted is pretty universal, not just a few bad apples.
If path loss doesn't matter to you then you've revolutionized both communications and war.

There's spread over distance. If you've found a way to prevent spread it's either not free space or a change to the electromagnetics fundamentals. It's a really bold claim to make. But maybe I'm misunderstanding something.
I suspect you're trolling, but here goes. I'll stick strictly to facts and abstain from all moral judgement.

In most of the world, LGBT folk face a number of additional stressors compared to non-LGBT folk. These stressors include some or all of the following:

- Inability to marry partners of their choosing

- Inability to openly date partners of their choosing

- Imprisonment or death

- Dismissal from their jobs

- Abandonment by family

- Loss of children

- and so on

Whether or not you feel those stressors are just or not, certainly they contribute to poorer mental health outcomes, to put it mildly.
Not ‘free riding’ unless it’s free.

Your roads, schools, infrastructure was paid for by the previous generation.

In an average senior’s working years, three generations of school education has been subsidized. And they get no tax subsidies or benefits. Never mind the bonds and extra parcel taxes that property owners pay.

And when they retire and Medicare and SSN kicks in at age 65, that’s 10-25 years of minimal payments.

It nets out as a working citizen subsidizing on average 3 generations of school children to gain perhaps one generation ‘paying them back’ and even that might not happen because ssn comes from 40 quarters of employment. And 65 years of even unemployed citizenry paying sales taxes and shouldering an economy. Never mind fees, licenses, permits..taxed from everything water to power to road use to driving licenses.

And society accepts this. And pays. And bears it. Having said all that..It is rich for parents to act as victims and martyrs for taking care of their own children and claiming that their contribution to the gene pool is a sacrifice they have made while the childless are free loaders. I am embarrassed for the half brain cell that is working overtime in those who have made this claim and proceeded to shame the rest of the populace.

A tunicate is a marine invertebrate that hangs on to rocks. Adult tunicates have a hollow cerebral ganglion, equivalent to a brain, and a hollow structure known as a neural gland. They procreate. A sea squirt that is a kind of tunicate is famous for eating it’s own brain. If you poke it , they will squirt in defense. They decided that being mobile was too much of a hassle and decided to eat their own brain because our brains evolved to assist our mobility. They too reproduce. They haven’t asked for a medal for procreating, afaik. Or shamed those who didn’t. Haven’t gone extinct. Yet. Just sayin’!!!!
What do you mean by useful? GNNs get better performance than other methods on lots of real tasks. It's the same as CNNs being useful in practice despite not having more "theoretical" power than MLPs.
To be frank, I totally agree. I don't think our brains can comprehend what existence would mean without 3 dimensions and time.
The key in question is a public key, it's not a secret. The CPU uses it to verify the BIOS, not the other way around.
Agree. Language specific hangouts and meetup.com groups would make sense. Easy to connect to fellow developers this way.
Ask HN: What has been your most confounding interaction with the legal field?
Attorney here.

I've just wrapped up a long term project and I'm eyeing the horizon for my next step. I thought I would try to get some feedback from the HN community with regards to pervasive issues at the intersection of law/regulators and your field.

By way of example, a project I have been considering for some time is an online resource for patients diagnosed with serious illnesses: forms for insurance purposes, statutory/regulatory citations, a step by step guide for submitting bills, and finally some sort of directory of attorneys by state that have indicated they'd be willing to lend a compassionate ear. This stemmed from spending time in a forum for breast cancer patients (owing to a family diagnosis) and hearing their common lament that interacting with insurance companies is one of the toughest non-medical parts of their treatment.

So, if you wouldn't mind mentioning your field and a quick summary of what problems pervade your industry -- maybe we can lighten the load.
