I often need to visualize data and unfortunately, plotting and working with many millions of points is a key capability. For example, we might have an expensive piece of hardware that we are using and need to understand if an issue we are seeing is a problem in our user software, a firmware we wrote to interface with it, or comes from the hardware itself.

Having technical representatives from each team (each sure that his team has nothing to do with it; can they please go back to their offices now) in a room looking at the same instrumentation data with ability to quickly dig into various features and subsets is a huge help for such problem isolation. At least in my experience it depends on fast interactive plotting and filtering of large datasets.

> They found and exploited a stack-based buffer overflow in the EMV parsing of a particular device, which allowed them to deliver a payload from the smart-card itself. To demo this attack, they wrote a flappy bird clone which was played using the number pad of the mPOS device. It weighed in at ~4k though, so positively heavyweight compared to this!

I wouldn't knock that achievement: this implementation is 228 byte of Javascript and I'm guessing that was 4k bytes of binary that only had access to a less-featureful standard library. You really should add the size of the JS runtime this implementation needs to make the comparison fair. Otherwise, I could blow you all out of the water with my 11 byte implementation:

runFlappy()

(...which runs in FlappyLang, which includes a Flappy Bird implementation in the standard library.)
> One of the issues is also just academia being so hyper-focused on thinking everyone is there to become an academic which is not the case for the vast majority of people

I'm not sure I follow why this is bad. I think academic rigor and being a decent scholar, as well as being able to parse and produce research are good things (and in my mind, those are the corner stones of being an academic). Did misunderstand you?

FWIW, in germany (and likely other european countries) we have a two tier system for higher education, consisting of universities and "applied universities", with the latter focusing on applied skills and the former focusing on research, which in think is sensible.

Can you speak some about OSMAnd? I've used it and MapsMe some, and while the navigation works fine, I often have issues actually finding the places I'm searching for. Typing in an exact address is hit or miss and searching for something like the nearest grocery store can be even worse.

Are there any tricks or supplemental apps you would suggest?
Wow! --that got a lot of replies, for one of my comments!

Thanks for all the interesting info. I'll probably have a go at online chess again, after reading all the assurances about how cheating is discouraged.

After all these years and never having been that good to start with, I'd probably be on an ELO rating so low I'd be paired against a hitherto undiscovered tribesman from the depths of the Amazonian rainforest, who'd never seen a chess board before...

I really think penalizing someone for asking a question, even if it comes from an uninformed point of view, even if it's as simple as a down-vote, is the wrong way to go. All it does is cause most people to dig their heels into their position instead of encouraging them to explore ideas that vary from their own.
Not knowing a lot about biotechnology, I read the article and it sounds great, but how big is this as a gamechanger? Can someone comment on how big are the implications of this in, let’s say, 5 years from now, on day to day life? Does this mean that biotech is going to explode? Or just that drugs will come to market faster, perhaps cheaper for rare diseases, but from the same industry structure as always?
>Why would people put sugar on their fries?!

FWIW, they're brined in a solution containing sugar, it's not like there's sugar sprinkled on them. Very little of it makes it into the final product and in my experience brined fries aren't perceptibly sweet in an obvious way. It assists with browning and a crunchy exterior.

I agree we should have a vaccine, I do not agree with mandatory shutdowns and all the negative down stream side effects which are PROVEN to be larger than the disease itself.
That datasets in the repo are fairly old. I suggest using newer datasets.
Instead of downvoting why not prove me wrong? My first sentence is as far as I know plain truth, and the second is just describing the popular counter-narrative, not making any claims as to its veracity. When the social ill-effects of a lockdown policy are as severe as they are, we should be able to have a healthy public debate about the balance of harms and under-pinning evidence.

Depending what you call "actual game", you can play some of them: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S_HXQJkWjUQ.

Concerning "game companies", this is a typical problem of new hardware and is quite expected (in the beginning). The difference however is that you do not have to rewrite anything, just recompile for Debian ARM and make it fit the screen. Potentially thousands of games should run well after quick adjustments.

The EU antitrust findings definitely included Google banning device makers from manufacturing devices running a fork of Android.

>In particular, the EC has decided that Google:

has required manufacturers to pre-install the Google Search app and browser app (Chrome), as a condition for licensing Google’s app store (the Play Store);

made payments to certain large manufacturers and mobile network operators on condition that they exclusively pre-installed the Google Search app on their devices; and

has prevented manufacturers wishing to pre-install Google apps from selling even a single smart mobile device running on alternative versions of Android that were not approved by Google (so-called “Android forks”).

There has been thousands of issues/bugs over the years in gcc, glibc and the kernel and there are thousands to come, same like in every big software. I don't think there is any evidence that compilers and interpreters are an exception and generally have less bugs than any other piece of software. It is also very much possible to use a non-compiler/interpreter software for years and never encounter a bug.
Basically only message passing. As another poited out, you can use FFI calls and Erlang Term Storage, possibly some other means to communicate, but the central feature is that each process has an ID, and then you send() a message to it.

each process also has a receive() block where you essentially listen to everything that ends up in your mailbox and pattern match on it to take action.
The schools thing is madness. Teenagers absolutely suck at a) social distancing, b) thinking about others and c) thinking about the consequences of their actions.

> They're even worse than old appliances. You'd usually own those appliances, be able to repair them, patch them up and use them for a long, long time.

Modern appliances aren't really like this. The control panel will start registering false presses or no longer accept keypresses after a few years (especially if it's a heating appliance and the control panel is not engineered to be in a hot environment), and replacement control panels will be discontinued and unavailable.
For my Masters degree, most of my courses were absolutely like this. Our assignments were difficult and heavy. There was no expectation that you should complete them without Google or reference material.

In contrast, the "final exams" were either non-existent or extremely easy and account for only 10-20% of the grade, where they existed.

I really liked this approach. Make your assignments very difficult. Alternatively, give difficult 10-15 minute quizzes every other week. IMO, it's a much better way of evaluating students.
What they charge might be made up, but the costs of developing these drugs are astronomical. My wife is a cancer research scientist in immunotherapies and she can burn through tens of thousands of dollars in materials running a single experiment. And if she makes a mistake - the money is wasted!
But Facebook was also setup as a dating site. You also get recommended friends and interact with people you don't know which facilitates meeting and dating new people.

The fact that it's more hostile now I believe is only because they have switched their focus from a social circle interaction to optimizjng for metrics such as engagement and page views, which afaik generally tends to a more hostile and polarized environment.
The idea that an honor code is enough is belied by the fact that software like this catches cheaters, no?

I mean, we're obviously upset about false positives, and we should be. But I'm presuming that some people are caught who were cheating, and without the software they would have cheated and not been caught.

We can suggest that with an honor code in place, maybe some of those cheating students would have not cheated, because... I mean, if they were willing to cheat with software in place, I'm not sure why would have been deterred by an honor code.

I think in about 98-99% of cases, people who claim an honor code prevents cheating are deluding themselves. Yeah, if you don't have any way of catching cheaters, then you can pretend you have a 0% cheating rate. But it's pretend.

P.S. I'm not speaking for my employer at all.
It's a question of whether you're used to encountering foreigners in your daily life. People in big cities and university towns are; people in rural areas less so.
This is the only sort of cheating suggested in this thread that wouldn't be caught, but wouldn't actually be that helpful.
With this being the case, how does it even make sense for companies like Ticketmaster and Quantas to announce that they'll require their customers to be vaccinated?

Yeah, 90-95% of your customers won't have symptoms if they get infected. But they'll still have the ability to pass on that infection to someone who wasn't vaccinated, or falls into the 5-10% of people who the vaccine isn't effective for.

Obviously the vaccines have benefits, especially for high risk populations. But I see very little benefit to these corporations requiring their customers to have it, since their customers can still be infected and spread the virus.
In the US it's not possible to sue for damages caused by vaccines. I'm sure the courts will find a way to make it work. The concern seems to be that stifling vaccine development for the benefit of a few just isn't worth the risk of future plagues.
> Then the teacher can spend a couple of hours per student to assess their understanding.

That sounds as if you're steering close to a whiteboarding interview which a lot of people will claim isn't great.

Take home tests aren't perfect but I had plenty of them in school. And even when I didn't I don't think I had just about any engineering class that didn't assign problem sets that counted for a decent portion of your grade. If you can do take-home problem sets, you can do a take-home exam.

You're correct about long term harm, I lumped them together. A better formula would be:

P(covid death or long term harm) < 0.05%
vs.
P(vaccine long term harm) = ?

since my estimate is they're about the same order of magnitude, I prefer to take the devil-I-know vs. the small-scale-tested vaccine.

I model the potential harm based on a similarly rushed vaccine of 1976 which caused a large increase in cases of Guillain-Barré Syndrome [0]. Longer trials and phase IV monitoring was instituted in response to this rushed vaccine.

I think the problem here is that chess engines are going to recommend 'non-human' moves at any point of the mid/endgame. And these 'non-human' moves could be the first/second/third best moves according to the engine. You'd have to have to have decent understanding of the game to realize what moves aren't going to blow your cover. I am confident over the long run anti-cheating software could pick this up in most cases. But also what are the incentives for someone to cheat at online chess over the long run? It wouldn't be that interesting for more than a couple days to get a quick thrill of beating a bunch of people in my opinion.
I'm having trouble following your argument. Are you saying it's bad that Tesla batteries are being reused instead of recycled? Or are you claiming that Tesla is taking credit for the reuse and that's bad?

Musk has stated publicly that they will recycle Tesla batteries once they become available in enough volume to make it viable. He'd be stupid not to -- they will be a cheaper source of nickel and cobalt than digging it out of the ground.

But reuse is better than recycling, so recycling should remain in the future as long as possible.
Your "resounding no" is the very definition of FUD. In fact, it is more "yes" than "no". Name me any other company which publishes x-rays, schematics and promises to publish KiCAD files for their hardware.
That would be an extremely sad thing for me at least. Knowing that I would have no way to become truly free. Free as in I don't owe anyone my time. Maybe others can accept it or are forced to accept it. I just can't. But people of course are different.

Currently I just can't wait to reach that state. Sometimes I'm counting days even. I could never be happy/relaxed as long as I am forced to work, or forced to work under someone.

With regular work, I think I am saving around 70% of my total compensation, but I am also finding ways to do side-hustles.
Hopefully I can hit something that will help me reach passive income or otherwise I will be dependant on my career compensation. So as long as I haven't achieved that state I will keep trying and spend most of my time trying to reach this state.
It's very common in the 1400-1600 band but not much outside of that in my experience.
What are the immediate real-world applications of this? Just asking, because I have very little knowledge in this area.
I perhaps wasn't clear enough but I meant solely when it comes to these type of anti-cheat systems being used. Obviously it would be different for in-person vs remote/take home.
I read the post as the author being in some amount of distress and wanting to change. These sort of comments read to me as deriding someone who is suffering in order to make the comment writer feel good.

>Apparently the administration was trying to punish people married to illegal immigrants, and all the people suffering through the legal and extremely slow immigration process get bundled in with them

They say that, but under Stephen Miller almost every single aspect of legal immigration has been made harder, slower and more expensive than before. After all Steve Bannon said the high number of Asian CEOs in Silicon Valley is not compatible with a civic society and that it's worth it for the US to lose economically while restricting legal immigration.

So what you encountered was a feature, not a bug.

The null hypothesis (people with symptomatic covid are as likely to get severe symptoms, regardless of whether they received the vaccine) predicts this many cases with severe symptoms:

30 / 185 * 11 = 1.7

1.7 ~= 0, so the sample size is too small to support the headline.
That is not quite the case as the you're double counting quite a number of people.

set A = The set of all people who die from covid

set B = The set of people who were going to die that year from cancer, heart, age etc

Nearly all of set A fits inside set B. For evidence see either CDC or even the Italian health ministry data set they even published as far back as April 2020 where the median age of death was 79 and 50% had 3+ other diseases and sub 1% had no other diseases.
Those numbers are real and it’s why tech hubs are both very expensive and worth moving to.
My university does a lot of oral math exams. After failing 3 times you have the option for an oral test as a last chance and people do indeed fail math in large numbers.

I was on the other side as an academic assistant for a few days (no role in testing) and I can tell you that oral math exams about algebra can be as hard as you want them to be, especially if you have problems with tests and get nervous. You have to take drugs against that.

The prof I had was a bit of a dick but he was really good at measuring how well you understood the concepts and if you ware able to apply them to problems.

Yes, when double frying you remove fries from the oil and allow moisture near the surface to evaporate so it becomes tacky. For oil any common oil works but saturated fats get fries crispier. Even oven roasted potatoes in ghee and can almost get a french fry crunch. Duck fat is next level. Obviously much slower than frying.
The conflict here is situations, like in Rust, where you don't have that runtime in the first place, so you cannot do this.

Rust used to be much more Erlang-like in this regard back in the days when it had such a runtime, but when the runtime was removed, so was the ability to work like this.

I just thought of this analogy today. Others should correct me if I got this wrong.

If I want to use your printer (ribosomes) to print out some stuff (proteins), I don't need to send files (genetic instructions) to your computer (nucleus). I can just get on your wifi, send my files directly to your printer, and go home. Except I accidentally left the protein at your house. But none of the genetic material sticks around.

edit: It seems like the answer to my question is actually more or less in this article:
https://deepmind.com/blog/article/alphafold-a-solution-to-a-...

"Since DNA specifies the amino acid sequences that comprise protein structures, the genomics revolution has made it possible to read protein sequences from the natural world at massive scale – with 180 million protein sequences and counting in the Universal Protein database (UniProt). In contrast, given the experimental work needed to go from sequence to structure, only around 170,000 protein structures are in the Protein Data Bank (PDB). "

So, basically, less than 0.1% of the proteins we are interested in, have structures determined via lab experiments. The Deep Mind method could fill in the remaining 99.9%

original:
Question by someone who knows nothing about molecular biology:
How many proteins exist that we are predominantly interested in? How many of those have known structures? And for the remaining, how long would it take humanity to find their structure through experiments instead of these computer models? (Do these questions even make sense?)

I don't know, wait a week and see how many people spontaneously combust? The most common side effects of vaccines to my knowledge are allergic reactions, and I don't have any allergies that I know of. As long as people aren't melting when they get the shot, I'm not sure there's any reason for me to worry about the vaccine.
Except we mere mortal humans have the added constraint of limited time.

Meaning if you were planning on retiring during one of the long sideways or downturns your required "time in the market" may have just been extended by a decade. The impact of that depends on the unique time constraints of the individual and how well they addressed risk exposure.

Add to that, most economists don't think the long-term market returns will approach the past returns. Most now think 6% is reasonable, when the past was 10%-12%. This extends the horizon further unless you are willing to increase risk exposure by selecting higher growth stocks.
