I’m not sure having the Elon Musk brand be stronger than the Tesla brand is a good thing. He is a bit impulsive and seems like an asshole at times. People put up with it because, so far, his companies have produced some great products.

When the other car manufacturers finally catch up to Tesla, the negative perception of the Elon Musk brand may drive some buyers away from Tesla.

I think the point is that managers/executives view their office as ideal, and therefore (rightly and justifiably) want people to come in. The people actually working in said office see the flaws, understand it's less than ideal, and know they can be more productive from home.
What excess potatoes? A 4sqm field of potatoes over a season can be finished in less than four weeks. What apartment has room for enough area to grow excess potatoes?
Yes and no.

Yes, in the sense that any system which is not based on an intractability assumption that reduces to the discrete logarithm problem is of research interest for post-quantum cryptography.

No, in the sense that some of the systems under consideration predate serious research in quantum cryptanalysis (including Shor's and Grover's attacks).
> Well thanks to that hyper-efficiency lot of people are going to be jobless.

This is false. It's the same argument behind the Luddite handloom weavers who burned mills and factory machinery. It leads to labor arguments like saying we should stop using bulldozers and require workers to use spoons instead to create more jobs.

But in fact jobs come from people with resources who decide that they want to reshape the world in some way, often to gather more resources. That impulse to change the world has never been scarce and likely never will be as long as there are people.
Ask HN: Essential skill needed to be a programmer?
In the book Coders at Work by Peter Siebel, he asks peter norvig this question:

"So is there any essential skill needed to be a programmer? Different domains obviously have different requirements but ultimately is there some commonality to writing code regardless of domain?"

Peters answer to this _really_ resonated with me - his first two sentences were "You've got to be able to make progress and then improve on it. That's all you need to be able to do in life."

How would you answer this question?

The author, like myself, and others who incorporate permaculture design principles, advocates for decentralizing our food system for resiliency, regenerative growth, stronger hyperlocal communities, development of a better sense of place, and a sense of purpose.

There are a lot of angry young people in this generation who felt lied to about their job prospects, or careers. They were told the mark of an adult was someone who can move out of the parent’s basement abd support yourself. Yet unless you can get an entry level job at least $60k a year in the US, you are already swimming against the current. A college degree is no guarantee of success.

That wealth gap is growing, and the pandemic made the reality stark. The recession is effectively over for people with high income, but for those without, it continued to be a huge struggle.

So some get bitter. Some get political, or even radicalized. Some want things to go back to how things used to be — in the 90s even. Others are now seeking solutions with universal basic income.

The thing with permaculture design and its decentralized food system is that it can address some of that wealth inequality. If the methods were expanded to cover the remaining basic needs at the foundational layer of Maslow’s Heirarchy of Needs, then that would work a lot better than universal basic income.

But one of the greatest characteristics of permaculture design is that it is decentralized. It does not require collective action. It can be framed as a hobby to get started. People who are implementing this doesn’t require that you change your views or beliefs, or that you get on board.

I know a couple of people who caught Covid-19 back before the summer, who both described the same symptoms after recovering (and testing negative). This was a while before all this talk of 'Long Covid' came about.

Since we're all different, and will all fight viruses in different ways and strengths (depending on health/existing cnditions etc.), there'll be so many variations in how much of a 'toll' fighting it has taken on our bodies (and minds).

Since this ia a 'novel' virus, we can only really base any conlusions on the empirical evidence as it comes in.

People of color (which in practice excludes Asians) are over-represented in sports, but under-represented in academia. A lot of people see the former as desirable and the latter as indicative of systemic racism. I suspect that if sports were dominated by Asians, the people who oppose standardized testing would feel the same way about sports.

We know from Snowden that the NSA actively and covertly submitted code to open source projects including Android\Linux:

https://www.androidauthority.com/nsa-android-code-239118/

They're also involved in the Coreboot alternative BIOS project:

https://www.tomshardware.com/news/nsa-contributes-low-level-...

One of the key revelations from Snowden was that all that stuff that seemed far fetched or paranoid to us, wasn't just happening, it was routine and much more advanced stuff was also going on.

It's also much easier to target Matrix etc when you don't have to target all of Facebook because you have a backdoor there. Reducing the NSAs workload by 99% makes the other 1% much easier because they have 100 times the resources to spend on it.

You should also consider as a swiss citizen that US law is increasingly world law. If you sit in Switzerland and contribute to a project banned by US law, they may well have you extradited to spend the rest of your life in a US prison. They're doing that to Assange right now. They've done it to others as well. Locking up foreigners is quite in-style in the US at the moment... I haven't read the bill, so I don't know what the criminal sanctions are for failing to provide backdoors...

Yeah, when I was in one of the top guilds during vanilla, there was an addon that top guilds had that allowed for adding timers/modifications via LUA. I can't remember the name anymore, but it wasn't publicly available, just circulated amongst upper echelon guilds.

We would wipe dozens, if not hundreds of times, just to get all the timings down and scripted. It also helped that four of the people in our guild worked in QA for Blizzard (not so well-kept secret of many top guilds back then).

Like someone else mentioned, now WeakAuras more of less does that in a much more user friendly way. Still the same process of wiping hundreds of times to build the WeakAuras though.
The article talks about that: the barriers currently go up when the water level is expected to be 130cm or more (above some mean level, I guess). St. Mark's floods at 90cm according to the article.

When there was a 132cm tide, the barriers went up and St. Mark's stayed dry. The next day, the tide was 106cm, the barriers stayed down, St. Mark's flooded. What was the exact date on your friend's photo? What was the tide height that day?

I think part of the reason these techniques persisted for so long is to some degree the harmful effects can be mitigated by an expert carefully adjusting things to the patient’s needs.

Of course the careful ad hoc adjustments and countermeasures were rarely written down and depended heavily on the expert’s honed intuitions. And people with less talent and knowledge inevitably tried to follow the incomplete instructions.

This meant you had just enough cases of real success to justify the existence of doctors even though the value of an average medical expert historically was questionable (with the probable exception of nursing care which usually did less active harm).

That’s just my theory anyway

The mail-in ballots of more than 84,000 New York City Democrats who sought to vote in the presidential primary were disqualified, according to new figures released by the Board of Elections.

One out of four mail-in ballots were disqualified for arriving late, lacking a postmark or failing to include a voter’s signature, or other defects. The Post reported Tuesday that roughly 30,000 mail-in ballots were invalidated in Brooklyn alone.

The high invalidation rate provides more proof that election officials and the Postal Service were woefully underprepared to handle and process the avalanche of mail-in ballots that voters were encouraged to fill out to avoid having to go to the polls during the coronavirus pandemic, critics said.

On the same thought, why do politicians talk to journalists either? For example Trump doesn't trust them... so why does he talk to them at all? Why not just stop inviting the press in? Why not just present your own releases direct to consumer/elector via your website and social media?

No, SHA-2 has not had its margins eroded "significantly", and you should not feel nervous about using it whatsoever. It's fundamentally different from MD5 in structure, so you shouldn't extrapolate a few years' worth of minor weaknesses to forecast major weaknesses in the near future.

The website you've linked is citing legitimate cryptanalytic papers, but it loses credibility by interpreting systems with minor weaknesses as "not considered strong." Minor weaknesses are exhibited in all cryptosystems older than a few years. Can you find me a professional cryptographer who will say SHA-2 is not strong? Because I can't think of any. The authors of these cryptanalytic papers would probably choose it for new projects without being nervous.

It's an attractive idea that cryptographic algorithms will trend towards insecurity over time. But that's a very oversimplified look at how they work, and it's not a reliable prediction over a period <20 years. We are almost certainly several deep research breakthroughs away from a meaningful break in SHA-2.

But I'm just some guy on the internet. If you don't trust my opinion on this, here is the opinion of one of the BLAKE authors, a finalist in the SHA-3 competition: https://twitter.com/veorq/status/834872988445065218

Elon, is that you? (J/k)

Firstly, this was Tesla’s PR team, not journalists. As a company, you’d think they would want people whose role is to talk to the public (consumers or journalists), as people not trained in that capacity doing so can quickly get you into trouble. One misstep can get you a visit from the SEC or cost you market share. Given Musk’s history of foot-in-mouth disease, this seems like a pretty awful business move.

Secondly, though your point about journalists and papers isn’t really hyper-relevant to having a pr team: journalists do the job of a) filtering out the noise (useless info), b) filtering out the lies from corporations, government, or people, c) investigating issues of public interest, and d) alerting the public when these issues are important or problematic. While individuals could do this themselves, we don’t all have the time, and it makes sense to have people who do this professionally (and better). The role of the free press has been this for a long time, and the calls against the press are a coordinated strategy by groups whose interests are opposed to knowledge being in public hands and who fear being investigated.
Because trust, I seen yesterday some customer reporting a dangerous Tesla quality issue on reddit and it was "attacked" by fanboys and strong evidence was requested. If a journalist would like to report this problem then you would probably like Tesla to have some competent person to respond but seems you prefer the "Tesla did not responds to journalists anymore".

Btw I am referring to this post https://www.reddit.com/r/teslamotors/comments/j595ns/so_tesl... , it was stickied yesterday and I think is legit.

It sounds like repeating "state-of-the-art", "novel", never before seen, revolutionary new research that will change the entire world, you wouldn't believe how my method beats other baseline methods by huge margins, and you wouldn't believe how this paper will revolutionize the entire field, etc, etc, multiple times in the paper so the bored reviewers don't reject your paper. I'm exaggerating but it's close to the truth. You kind of have to turn your paper in an advertisement of your work to get past the reviewers.
>In the brain, neurons cannot wait for a sequential forward and backward sweep.

I think that neurons hate when we animate them.

Being a little more serious, is it possible to perform gradual back propagation? I.e., for iteration 1 train only last layer, for iteration 2 change two last layers, for iteration 4 train three last layers, etc.

I also have to say that in my spare time I am investigating a way to train networks on the whole set as opposed to the single sample or batch back propagation and one result I've got so far is not quite uninteresting, in my opinion: https://github.com/thesz/higgs-logistic-regression

The approximation of gradients is still use of gradients. It still computes updates which are need to be shared and still has some bottleneck on scalability.
On the one hand, it sounds interesting. On the other hand, it sounds like ten days of opportunity cost.

You both missed the point of this bit. If the planet warms 5C and we are all baked to a crisp, we had an effect on the biosphere AND climate change was correct. Carlin's point is that in a astronomical, deep-time sense, it's not the "PLANET" that's in trouble, it's the human race.

I do not understand your argument as the parent post is saying the PS5 can play PS4 games. So the PS5 will also benefit from the great games coming on PS4. The prices of the games would be the same, you would benefit from the same experience of the devs developing on the PS4. The only disadvantage is that the PS5 will be pricer. And it will also be less ecological-friendly if you intend to buy an used PS4. But that's it.
To quote from [1] "....the momentary relief we feel when procrastinating is actually what makes the cycle especially vicious. In the immediate present, putting off a task provides relief — “you’ve been rewarded for procrastinating,” Dr. Sirois said. And we know from basic behaviorism that when we’re rewarded for something, we tend to do it again. This is precisely why procrastination tends not to be a one-off behavior, but a cycle, one that easily becomes a chronic habit."
