Virtuous is subjective, but there is the age old goal of leaving the next generation better off than yours. It seems like a personal choice of whether to spend money responsibly, spend frivolously, give it away, or pass it on to whoever you want at any time to do any of those options.

I'm not sure where I stand on a wealth tax, but I would always be hesitant to tax money that in theory was already taxed when earned. I could certainly see the idea becoming more acceptable if the importance of community and a traditional, tight-knit family structure continues to erode.

Another Java Library for ML is Smile(https://github.com/haifengl/smile). I deeply recommend it!
Data safety isn't nothing though. Developers should have some appreciation for security vectors, laws around its collection, storage and processing, and knowing when (and how) to delete it. Accessibility. Deployment. What happens when it all goes wrong. Far from an exhaustive list but you can see what I mean.

I don't think anybody is arguing about what people do for themselves, but advertising yourself as a developer when you might have no experience or training, misleads people. Gives the rest of us a bad name.

This is real a problem for freelance developers. In the 15 years or so I've been doing it, I've heard at least 30 stories of how "the last guy" critically underdelivered, and there's basically an expectation I'm going to run off with their cash. I relieve them of this pretty rapidly but it's a very defensive process.
There are certainly some good reasons to use C as your backend, but there are some huge downsides as well. The main one in my mind is that you're limited by restrictions placed on you by the target language. V claims no UB but C has lots of UB so extreme care must be taken while doing code generation not to run afoul of C's rules. A quick glance at V's issue tracker shows that is not the case. Nor does there seem to be any plan for solving this.

Other points in that document are frankly baloney:

- Writing programs that pass -Wall -pedantic, Clang analyzer, PVS, and result in zero Valgrind warnings/errors is a dream of any C/C++ developer. With V it's going to be guaranteed for every V program. (We are not there yet, but very close.)

Clang analyzer is not integrated at all so this is not "very close".

Valgrind tests are mostly disabled (especially with -autofree), this is baloney.

Author has yet to set up PVS or Coverity although it was suggested a few days ago on Discord. Again, baloney.

`-Wall -pedantic` Given V can't even compile valid V programs consistently without generating C _errors_ I find this extremely difficult to believe.

> Stability. New languages using LLVM directly are going to crash often. That's inevitable, and can be seen across all new languages using LLVM. The V compiler hasn't crashed once for me, and I haven't received any crash reports from other users.

V issue tracker has lots of instances of the V compiler crashing. "I haven't received any crash reports from other users" is a verifiable fabrication. ([1](https://github.com/vlang/v/issues/6310), [2](https://github.com/vlang/v/issues/6263), [3](https://github.com/vlang/v/issues/4730))

> Simplicity. LLVM is a huge C++ dependency, meaning that both developers of the language and the users are forced to install it. Calling C++ is not easy from V/C, so C wrappers have to be used, increasing the number of dependencies and complexities.

But you need a C compiler. `v -o` requires either clang (and thus LLVM) or GCC both of which are massive dependencies. This logic rings hollow.
"The main reason for non-adherence to the FMD was dislike of distinct components of the diet, perhaps induced by chemotherapy [...] The FMD is a 4-day plant-based low amino-acid substitution diet, consisting of soups, broths, liquids and tea"

Occam's razor, patients couldn't stick with the diet.
In a "free" society, what basis does society have a right to say how much stuff you can amass? That or we stop pretending we live in a free society. I want society out of my business... if I want to give it away that's my choice.. if I want my kids to live like kings that's also my choice.
This is a huge factor in early hiring success: can you effectively hire people whose roles you don't fully understand? Can you develop trust with the person you've hired and delegate effectively?
> Recycling does not solve any problems, as the revelations of the past decade have shown.

Fair.

> Reducing consumption is the only solution

Reducing waste is the important part, which may or may not involve reducing consumption.

Better waste management is also an alternative solution.
From the titles, those publications seemed pretty mainstream. The posted article analyzed the landlord tenant relationship using a Marxist analysis. It's nonsense because Marxism has universally failed, and should not be used to analyze anything.
IMO:

There's something virtuous about living beneath your means and ensuring that you can be self-sufficient in your retirement.

There's something virtuous about living beneath your means and ensuring that, at a minimum, you are not a burden to your family, but that ideally you provide them support rather than siphoning support from them. In order to do that, it's almost a given that you will die with money left over. (The alternative being feeding the bloodsuckers who sell annuities.)

One person's "hoarding of wealth" is another person's "natural outcome of frugal living and appropriate planning".
Well, obviously it's a tax deduction. You can do the same if you itemize.

If this is a company's reason for not finding talent then the hiring team is simply not competent at hiring.

You can do any number of things to differentiate yourself from a FAANG to make your company more appealing. However, each candidate will have different values, so in order to gain an edge you first have to engage each candidate with the goal of discovering these values.

For example, this morning I was reading a recruiting email while considering a Sr SDE role on the AWS S3 team. They list 4 basic requirements for candidates, one of which reads:

· Able to debug, troubleshoot and resolve complex technical issues reported by customers

This screams of being responsible for legacy code and spending time on-call resolving other people's bugs. Can your company offer green-field development? Then congratulations, you've just gained an edge over a FAANG!

Other ways to differentiate are to consider the candidate's career trajectory. Maybe they want to become a manager, a technical lead, or pick up new technical skills. Can you place them on a team that will facilitate their professional development? If so then holy cow, this small company is looking better and better!

The point is that you can't go to war with a Goliath and expect to win using brute force. So if your opponent has 10 ships while you only have 1 then do yourself a favor and fight on land.

For context, I've had to lead and grow technical teams in the Seattle market, which means competing with Amazon, Facebook, Microsoft, and to a lesser degree Apple and Google. Having filled ~50 technical roles, I can say that succeeding in a competitive market requires you to be hands-on and highly engaged. And if your recruiting pipeline begins and ends with a submit form then you're going to make life really hard on yourself.
Exactly right on the repeater -- you communicate with the ISS on a VHF uplink and it rebroadcasts your communication on a UHF frequency (Earth stations typically run in a single band with a small offset). It's hard to talk to the ISS because it's moving so fast that there's a Doppler shift in the frequencies, but it's definitely possible with cheap gear (I've picked it up many times, but never tried talking through it). People aren't using it to communicate per se, more just to make brief long-distance (DX) contact with other amateur radio users.

There are also occasional opportunities to speak directly with people on the ISS (or more commonly, receive telemetry or slow-scan TV images).

Show HN: Deepserve.ai – Heroku for Deep Learning
Hi HN,

I’m Jeff Wells. I am launching https://www.deepserve.ai — a platform to deploy and host machine learning models.

Deepserve makes it extremely easy to take a trained model and deploy it with a single CLI command: `deepserve deploy`

We host the model, deploy it, and give you an API endpoint you can call on to make predictions from your applications. We manage the devops and dependencies and ensure your model is always running. We’ll scale up as much as your application needs, and scale down during off-peak hours to save you money over renting your own servers.

In order to make it easier to use, we have client SDKs to make calling your model a single line of code. We store all of the production inference data so you can grow your training sets with real examples.
My chrome devtools says DDG took 900ms to load the search result on that page (searching for "foo bar"), vs Google search taking ~200ms for the initial result.

And subjectively, comparing side by side, Google is faster to display the result.

So your claim of 100x is not only inaccurate in quantity, it's opposite direction as well.
Yeah what am I missing here?
Nvidia had some GPUs that ran hot and had a above average failure rate so apple were unhappy because it made a couple of models of macs look bad. They also had enough revenue of their own that they didn't care enough to invent some SKUs so people couldn't compare macs to PC laptops.

The big issue with Nvidia GPUs in Linux these days is with Wayland. There are some graphics APIs that are the current way to create contexts, manage GPU resources etc but Nvidia went their own way which would require compositors to have driver specific code.

Many smaller compositors (such as the most popular tiling one for Wayland) don't want to write or support one implementation for Intel/AMD and one for Nvidia so they either don't support Nvidia or require snarky sounding cli options to enable Nvidia at the cost of support.

Is it really? Where can I read about it?
I wouldn't trust them more, but it would be a good rule of thumb for whether or not I need to be awake during this product cycle. For example, if they're like "3% more performance on the 3090 vs. the RTX Titan" then I can just ignore it and not even bother reading the reviews. Instead, they're just like "well it has GDDR6X THE X IS FOR XTREME" which is totally meaningless.
Given the cycling unfriendly design of most NA cities, using a Peloton instead of an outdoor bike ride seems like a sensible safety measure to not get killed by a distracted SUV driver.
Really enjoyed reading this, thanks.

I think assessing and charging at the time of distribution, as best as can be estimated, the total cost of responsible disposal would be sufficient to align incentives, for both manufacturers and consumers. More waste means higher prices.

And fees so assessed should actually pay for disposal. Of everything. Discourage dumping and garbage burning by making waste collection "free" (in reality paid in advance at time of purchase).
Turning greed into a virtue, feels like something only an American economist could do!
>I don't see these as contradictory. Ideology affects what people are willing to spend. As someone who cares about the environment I don't mind spending more on recycled plastic to reduce waste. Most of my peers would not spend a cent more if they don't have to.

I disagree with this characterization. Photovoltaic technology in the 70s were insanely expensive and clearly not economical compared to the alternatives. There were some environmental enthusiasts who would use it despite the economic issues, but I wouldn't characterize the lack of adoption in photovoltaic technology as being an "ideological problem"
I agree. I don't think it's a surprise that someone who grew up during the Great Depression could be so frugal, even with massive wealth. Many people who were young during this time seem traumatized by it, often including their children.
As an Apple Music user myself, I believe iTunes Match and iCloud Music Library functionality are included if one has Apple Music.

The ability to listen to some of the music I have that's not available on streaming services is one huge reason I chose Apple Music over Spotify.
OP here.

We’re now open for beta! I want to onboard companies slowly as it’s critical our infrastructure is robust. Out of the gate I am supporting Fast.ai and working hard to support PyTorch and Tensorflow.

If you don’t have the skillset right now to build your own models — reach out on https://www.deepserve.ai/consultancy or email me. I can build models for you and host them Deepserve. I’ll be transparent that I want to make money on hosting, and would love to take your use case and turn it into a case study.

As an example — I have a client on the platform right now using a text classifier that auto-tags and auto-categorizes their support emails. These emails then get routed and sorted automatically, with the most urgent cases alerting them via slack.

—

This has been a side project for over a year, and am finally ready for launch. Feedback is welcome and I’d love to connect with anyone who aligns with the mission of bringing machine learning to the world.

I would say that if you read it, you didn't really pay attention to their argument. For a start, the entire premise of the article is that "advertising works".

That's one person I definitely admire. Not afraid to play the game and not afraid to end it on his terms.

Not all people share your point of view. :(

From time to time, I review scientific papers for Machine Learning journals.

In the modern machine learning theoretical papers of the type: We looked in problem A, here is a pattern B and it is the case because <math.>

Nearly all papers that I get for a review are applied papers: We took dataset A, model B, tweaked knob C and our result is better than paper D, but we do not know why. I am fine with this approach. Many good ML ideas were introduced in this way.

But I give reject if authors did not provide the dataset and code that reproduces results.

It is not an issue for other reviewers and my reject is often overridden by editors and papers get accepted, even if there is not way that anyone ever will be able to reproduce it.
It doesn't seem to be much more powerful per core than the A13.

So you have to pay for a watch that collects your data? Furthermore the watch is likely full of proprietary chips - which is fine if you could buy those. If "your" watch goes bad, only Apple will be able to repair it and for sure their charge you adequately. And you give your data for free.

Cliff Mass is 100% right on comparing BLM protesters to brownshirts, and he was also specific in noting that he isn't describing all protesters. The relevant quote from his blog post is "Seattle's brownshirts have hidden within protest groups".

Those who say this is an inappropriate comparison are gaslighting, as these criminals have a consistent track record of engaging in violence, intimidation, threats, and more. Let's take a look at what this subset of BLM protesters have done in the Seattle area. They:

1. Harassed the mayor at her house, and issuing death threats like "guillotine Jenny" and writing misogynist messages like "Resign bitch" on her house and the road in front, and used similar tactics at the houses of council members: https://www.seattletimes.com/seattle-news/politics/native-le...

2. Repeatedly blocking bridges and highways, snarling traffic for thousands of drivers, pedestrians, and bicyclists even after their irresponsible highway blockades led to a death: https://www.kuow.org/stories/updates-protests-for-racial-jus...

3. Showed up at our black female police chief's neighborhood, started documenting who lives where, noted license plates, and interrogated neighborhood kids for information: https://lynnwoodtimes.com/2020/08/02/hundreds-of-blm-support...

4. Even showed up at the houses of council members who agreed to their demands, to intimidate them and make sure they wouldn't change their stance: https://westseattleblog.com/2020/08/protest-evening-march-in...

5. Used a homeless camp as a staging area for riots, storing weapons there: https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/us/seattle-police-recover-wea...

6. Showed up at white people's homes, demanding that residents leave the neighborhood: https://www.bizpacreview.com/2020/08/14/blm-marches-through-...

7. Made lists of businesses to destroy: https://thepostmillennial.com/antifa-rioters-made-lists-of-s...

How can you not see the valid comparison to brownshirts here? Damaging property, holding drivers hostage on the highway, obstructing others from accessing public infrastructure, committing arson, issuing death threats, and so forth all match the description perfectly. Remember, terrorism is defined as "the use of violence and threats to intimidate or coerce, especially for political purposes." (https://www.dictionary.com/browse/terrorism). The actions of local BLM activists and Antifa rioters completely fits this description.

And given the evidence is so clear, this attempt to cancel Cliff Mass, a distinguished Professor of Atmospheric Science at a major research university, is simply progressive cancel culture run amok.
> regarding lobster memory management:

> the scope of anonymous functions cannot outlive variables' scope they reference, however V plans full closure support

> lobster compiles whole codebase at once (so it can properly track data flow across module boundaries), however V plans incremental compilation support

> both points are direct consequence of lobster's choice for memory management, ie solving them would mean moving away from lobster's strategy as far as I undersand

https://github.com/vlang/v/issues/1247

Lobster's approach at least has some theoretical rigorousness to it. What V is doing is quite different both in terms of the implementation and the requirements from the language itself and they have never been shown how their version is sound.
It would be better to have some kind of deposit system.

Any plastic or plastic product importer must pay deposit per weigh of plastic. When used plastic is returned for recycling/burning etc. that deposit is paid to whoever returns it. This way waste plastic would have a price that would make it worth not to throw it away.
