Probably not. I think the intent is for big shops to quantify the risk of adopting an open source project. This is just a way to codify how teams justify whether a project is "mature enough" for adoption.

I've worked in gov in the UK and it isn't always to do with the quality of contractors or full time employees.

A lot of the time projects are mismanaged or BI haven't done their job properly and the requirements don't actually make any sense e.g. instead of validating a phone number by sending a text message and sending them a code to fill in on the site, they instead want you to validate via regex.

Or you are having to work with some archaic piece of software that is provided by a third party and has it own domain specific language that doesn't really provide any benefit and is impossible to debug when it doesn't work.

This creates an attitude where everyone is kinda resigned to failure or you just can't actually get things done.
Mindset would likely have played a big part, and battle then vs battle now were very different things. A peasant could absolutely kill a knight but probably not in battle, and the opportunity to do so would be unlikely to arise because the knight would probably not be in a position to be ambushed. For most peasantry the very thought of going after a knight would also be almost unimaginable.

Seems like a not-unreasonable comparison today would be "could a civilian kill an armored vehicle?"
Peasants ate very well, they had to, in order to work the fields.

Salmon were considered peasant food, a peasant would go by the river and fish one up for lunch. Then probably eat some kind of pottage, and bread. Maybe eggs.

I'd wager peasants can be tough as fuck, it's only question of how well trained and equipped they are for fighting.
I'd settle for the 'facts'... things that most reasonable people can observe and can agree exist/happen. (Whether they survive interpretation is another question.)

'Truth' is one of those lofty aspirations that we like to pretend to reach for, but very few of us (if any) are yet fit to grok. Gotta walk before you can run.

While the effort is noble, facts unfortunately will not matter. There is a coup underway, no matter how impolite it is to say so. Doubt is being sowed in the presidential election results, more so every day. The ruling party realized some time ago that belief frequently trumps facts, and this present situation is little different.

As long as they can get people to believe the election is fraudulent, then they can maintain power. This is what they are presently doing. (And are likely to succeed, I fear.)
I am only disheartened that this will be ignored by so many people who only look at data that confirms their biases. American discourse had been severely damaged over the past 20 years.
oneAPI is more than "CUDA/ROCm for Intel", but a common interface for a diverse set of GPUs, TPUs, and other accelerators. At least that's Intel's marketing.

Julia's cross-vendor compute abstractions are nascent, but already impressive (e.g. KernelAbstractions.jl). Julia + oneAPI may be a winning combo.
It's worth noting that the VA's most critical software -- its EHR system, VistA -- is public domain with the source code available.

However, despite being a critical, successful piece of open source software that had massive investment over decades, it's being abandoned for a commercial system, Cerner, in a $16bn project.

1. The person I'm replying to has never lived here so they have no idea what they're talking about.

2. Group A systematically robbed and cheated Group B for centuries. Now that Group B has some political power and legal protections, Group A wants to pretend that "they can't see color."

Despite the fact that Group B has 1/10th the household wealth of Group A, are more likely to be arrested for committing the same crimes, receive harsher sentences for the same convictions, are much less likely to receive callbacks for job interviews, less likely to be hired for jobs they are equally qualified for, less likely to be approved for mortgages, less likely to be rented to, their dialect is considered linguistically inferior to Group A's, they are less likely to be picked up by a cab, and their children are even disciplined more harshly in fricking kindergarten.

Can you not understand how Group B isn't thrilled with the status quo with Group A's insistence that "they can't see color."

>something that you're accusing the "rednecks" of attempting to do.

1. They don't need to change laws to take race into account, because the system already does that for them.

2. Every single Trump supporting "redneck" I know supported the Muslim ban. And nearly every single Trump supporting "redneck" I know supported requiring Muslims to register with the government for tracking. According to survey's about 10% of them don't approve of mixed race marriages. And I guarantee from personal experience that the real number is much higher than that.

The only reason they don't get to enact the laws they want to, and the only reason they are afraid to publicly espouse their racist beliefs is because of the hard work of those left leaning Americans you despise.

Those left leaning American's you hate so much are the only reason most non white immigrants are even allowed to be in this country in the first place. The majority of my family doesn't even support birthright citizenship and would remove any non white citizens who's parents haven't been in this country more than a few generations if they could.

I see where you're coming from, but this is terminology that is pretty clear within the field of statistical learning theory, which this paper's audience. Within learning theory I think this paper is actually quite important and cool, as its name suggests, so I would hardly call it "clickbait". At least, looking at the actual contents, I agree with their reasoning for calling this "universal" "learning".

As a very high level summary, they look at how many samples are required to learn hypothesis classes, allowing this number to vary depending on the distribution to a limited degree (hence universal), rather than existing models that are interested in a guarantee that holds uniformly for all distributions. I say a limited degree because they actually make sure the shape of the learning curve is the same regardless of the distribution, they just allow the steepness to change, basically. PAC learning is really just supervised learning of binary classifiers as you say (although it has generalizations to multiclass, regression, unsupervised learning), and for convenience PAC learnable hypothesis classes are often just abbreviated to "learnable" hypothesis classes.

This is made more awkward by the fact the paper is so new, it has not been published in any conference or journal to my knowledge (if it had been, I would have recommended affixing the name to the title). So two options here in my eyes: 1. adjust the name of the HN submission to make clear this is in the field of statistical learning theory 2. Change the name of the HN submission to something like "A Theory of Sample Complexity of Universal Learning" or "A Theory of Learning Curves and Universal Learning Rates", but then this would actually be a misrepresentation of the actual content of the submission
The fast bytecode VMs do pre-fetch the operands to maximize Instruction Level Parallelism: https://www.reddit.com/r/programming/comments/badl2/luajit_2...

They also use "inline caching" where the result of method lookup is cached in the bytecode itself. Most of the time there's no need to try to pre-execute it.

The ultimate version of this idea of executing everything you can before running the dynamic bit is probably Partial Evaluation which is how GraalPython works.

For more context, Eric Schmidt and Mark Zuckerberg used Google and Facebook to manipulate users during the 2008 and 2016 presidential elections. The Facebook “Template to Win” was written by a Russian. This program was used by Obama in the 2008 election to win and during the 2016 election. Obama set up a political war-room that utilised the Template to Win under the egis of the US Digital Service - a service used by Democrats against Republicans.

Schmidt has been so bold as to brag about his billion dollar efforts to get Obama and Hilary into the White House by writing new algorithms that direct users to rigged sites and ads that support his candidates.

Zuckerberg has tried to hide his crimes by lying about Russian ads and hiding his Template to Win, but the head of the Global Engagement Centre has told the press that he used Facebook to target and attack US citizens throughout the election.

Zuckerberg hasn’t really answered why Yuri Milner and other Russians own large amounts of Facebook shares. Mark also hasn’t answered why his best friend and investor ($200million), the Russian Yuri Milner now lives in Silicon Valley and buys political and corporate support like it’s popcorn.

Totally agree, Graphql pushes the problem to the backend, where arguably, it's easier to mitigate after bottlenecks are discovered.

Was this the battle historians put a lot of blame on the "steel boots"?

Peasants had cloth boots which didn't get stuck into the mud as much so they didn't get as tired.

Thanks for sharing this. I learned a lot from watching this video and I have another channel to subscribe to now :)

One thing that I found interesting was how they identified today's announcement of the BNT162b2 vaccine candidate (back in September) as one that would require the massive investment in cold chain infrastructure. They also highlight Pfizer's engineering of a separate series of cold boxes that would keep the vaccine at temperature for up to 10 days, thereby enabling it to be shipped through standard logistics networks. Great stuff.

What’s wrong with labels and tabs and important and starred and blah blah blah?
Yes. Also Australia is an island, but Victoria (my state) peaked over 700 cases/day and other states during the same period managed to keep their case numbers controlled at the same time (~10 cases / day in NSW iirc). It wasn't magic. We closed the state borders, making each state basically its own island. Victoria imposed strict lockdowns to get the case numbers down and the rest of the country went about business as usual.

I don't see why the same strategy wasn't used in Europe or the US. Its hard to control a virus when there's a constant stream of new cases coming over the border. I suppose its way too late for that now.
I’m not completely familiar with Amazon reviews, but if I remember correctly it’s not super clear that you’re reviewing the product and not the seller, and how to review the seller specifically.

This difference is irrelevant when the seller is Amazon, but very relevant when it’s not. We all know how Amazon blurs this line, so the confusion is understandable.

That said, I hate it too, and it’s Amazon’s fault.
We also seem to have a lot of violent reoffenders. Maybe we have an average amount, but it certainly seems like every other murderer was recently released after serving only a fraction of his sentence. Keeping murderers in prison until they are rehabilitated seems like a pretty good way to improve quality of life without putting more police on the street.
Never thought of this earlier. Apples magsafe for iPhones now makes absolute sense.
That's the thing, if your dataset is not similar to the dataset on which your model was pre-trained (which it often isn't), the initial weights may actually prove to be either worthless, or even detrimental. That is, they may be worse than random initialization.
We have changed some UI issues with screenshare, and worked a ton on stability, so it might be worth another try! Thanks for the feedback too--it's very helpful for us to know where we might be losing people.

You're talking to someone who buys health insurance on the individual market. $130/mo premiums and a $800 deductible sounds amazing, considering that I pay many multiples of those rates. I'd gladly pay more than triple or quadruple that, as I'd still be saving money and would wind up with better benefits.

If I bought a family health plan, I'd be paying at least 15 times those rates on the individual market.

Meanwhile, other first world nations are able to insure all of their citizens with better health outcomes than outcomes in the US, and at half of the cost the US pays for its inferior levels of care[1].

In the Annals of St Bertin there's mention of an attack by the Danes (Vikings) on a region of Francia in 859 AD, where the peasants formed an association to defend themselves and fought off the Vikings, and drove them off without the assistance of the Carolingian rulers.

This is reported by the Carolingians as brave but immoral, because Charlemagne had banned any such associations or militias, and military service was reserved for aristocrats only.

The response of the Frankish leadership was to come in and massacre the peasants who had defended their own land. Peasant autonomy and self-defense of any kind could not be tolerated.

I'm not defending the blockchain solution posted here but I do think the electronic voting aspect of the current system is at least as bad to lay people. Existing machines are often old, unpatched, and a big target that is mostly protected by people in the room looking for odd behavior or worse.

I think we need a more secure system to expand options for electronic voting and counting but it needs to have a paper backbone for true reliability.
With a lot more people taking courses remotely, I expect some universities will take the approach Amazon does and have "test centers" with proctors to make sure there are no shenanigans. That, and a lot more coursework / open book exams instead of traditional tests.

Certainly the division of elections in PA could. The rest of us are just speculating.

For example, we know some PA voters received two ballots (issue was corrected):

Others received incorrect ballots and had to get mailed a second, correct one (issue was corrected):
https://www.post-gazette.com/news/politics-local/2020/10/14/...

Whether this is responsible for the discrepancy, I have no idea. Of course, it's also possible that the mail date is wrong, or that we're misunderstanding what it means. Someone else floated possibility of issues with military ballots. My hope is that somebody calls and asks, because it could be a simple explanation. I don't see any reason to assume the worst. Props to the blog author for great work.
Online classes really emphasize how irrelevant closed book/notes/neighbor tests have always been. In cute terms, this environment is the strongest possible counterexample to "you won't always have a calculator with you!". All students are literally doing the test on a computer with internet access in the present tense. Their connectivity is considered so robust that a student may lose points or time if their internet drops during the test, and yet open internet access (or even just textbook and notes!) is somehow not an obvious resource to allow students during tests.

Professors frequently copy tests from other sources or previous semesters, and this obviously saves an enormous amount of effort, but ironically their copied work is what makes cheating on their tests so much more accessible. Professors make loud noises about cheating, and some are so hyperfixated on preventing cheating that they demand ridiculous requirements like proctoring software. They clearly aren't really prioritizing cheating prevention in their efforts, otherwise they'd write new tests more frequently (or at all!). Cheating prevention measures that don't require greater instructor effort are far more commonplace. When a professor literally copies a test, they shouldn't be surprised to see their students doing the same.

Tests that are suddenly ineffective with open internet access are already complete garbage for 3 reasons:

1. Some students will always cheat, and as long as teaching is remote, some students will always have internet access. Open access means that honesty is no longer discouraged.

2. Verifying granular details/vocab on the internet is completely normal in real work, even among experts.

3. Any test without resources like notes or internet relies far too heavily on memorization. This might be justifiable if there were evidence that standard test studying strategies (cramming) were effective at guaranteeing long term memorization. Anecdotally, I would fail the majority of my finals from previous semesters without time to (re)prepare. Students should be encouraged to understand the inner workings of the topic, in terms of analysis and potential states of that system, not to memorize dozens of details and vocabulary terms.

Within my Computer Science curriculum, the most effective and important content (between tests, projects, and lectures) has been programming projects by far. I'm dubious that tests are effective for any curriculum with relevant real world projects, though CS may be better than other subjects at making projects the primary measurement of understanding, and replacing the rigor that testing creates.
