Here's an article that people might be interested in. It gives a bit more detail: https://web.archive.org/web/20100706052342/http://www.spelli...

I'm particularly interested in this one, and I'm curious about how useful something like this would be to use.

> The second does not use a dictionary at all (Morris & Cherry 1975). Like the previous method, it divides the text into trigrams, but it creates a table of these, noting how often each one occurs in this particular piece of text. It then goes through the text again calculating an index of peculiarity for each word on the basis of the trigrams it contains. Given pkxie, for instance, it would probably find that this was the only word in the text containing pkx and kxi (and possibly xie too), so it would rate it highly peculiar. The word fairy, by contrast, would get a low rating since fai, air and iry probably all occur elsewhere, perhaps quite often, in the passage being analysed. Having completed its analysis, it draws the user's attention to any words with a high peculiarity index. Like the previous method, it would fail to spot a high proportion of ordinary spelling errors, but it is quite good at spotting typing errors, which it was designed for. An advantage that it has over all dictionary-based methods is that it is not tied to English; it will work on passages of, say, French, German or Greek.

(The Morris there is Bob Morris).
This is a fair point; it makes good sense and I'm glad you delineated ToS abuse and the spirit of the law!
The old yahoo chat days were my favourite internet days.

I used to have a great friendship with people in "Hackers Lounge: 1" and everyone used to be 1337 for cracking original names like you said.

I got my first name, and a few friends and I had illegals like \\//\\//estside and H a C K e R and .oO(d00t) which weren't compatible with the email service.

It's a pity that a generation later, the internet meant facebook and not the kind of inquisitive fun I experienced! (maybe I should have played more sport lol).
I'm out of my depth here (not a db guy but curious), so forgive the interruption, but have either of you messed with either SciDB or VoltDB? I have found them to be quite interesting especially given Stonebraker himself being involved in the design. Druid and timescale have also been on my radar too, and I think these comments have finally given me the push to play around with them in my sandbox.
SSL interception has become much harder recently. Android apps need to be specifically compiled to allow them to use mitm ssl certs, and more and more apps are using pinned certs anyway (mostly following some corp/gov "best practice" security checklist I suspect).

I think their indicators of compromise (IoC) list is probably a pretty good alternative for their intended use case. I wouldn't want to be relying on this to protect me against state level actors, but I could easily see their IoC list being capable of detecting the sort of tools readily available to jilted ex boyfriends or abusive husbands.
I have read about users who are receiving someone else's mail. They have some account that has been set to forward mail. It then appears that either (a) Google assigns the address to someone else (perhaps due to inactivity) or (b) someone else keeps inadvertently typing this email address. The mail gets forwarded to some other user.

If this is true, this calls the whole notion of "Gmail security" (and more generally large third party email provider security) into question. Now think about all the changes Google makes in the name of "security". One misspelling or typo and it is all for naught. The mail is sent to another user.

Does it really make sense to use a free third party email provider like Google for important purposes. It seems like we are making identity theft even easier (not to mention online ad services). One thing we know is Google will not discourage use of Gmail for important matters linked to a real identity. They want more personal information, not less. Meanwhile Google discourages automated creation of accounts not linked to real identities, which would be safer if compromised.
Not a huge surprise that 8 perf cores > 4 perf + 4 efficiency cores.
This is already flagged. I have to perservere. I got a copy before it can be deleted. So I can always reproduce it faster and faster and each time i see where I can optimize a steop or two. THis is how wars start. Stop. Go Back, and leave a comment tellin gpo people to stop right there, please and politely.
They should just make the back three rows specific for people with dogs. That would at least force people to decide how much they want to bring the dog with them.
Only fair is to ban non-degradable packaging altogether. Give companies a year or two of transitional period and then heavily fine companies not implementing the ban.
> V, L and H-1 (including H-1b, but excluding H-1b1) nonimmigrant visas are explicitly, by statute, excluded from the rule requiring nonimmigrant visa holders to lack immigrant intent;

The US Code Title 8, Sec. 1184(b) has nothing to do with the "dual intent" thing. What happens there is that people on visas like B2 are _presumed_ to be immigrants, and need to actually argue that they are not in front of consular officers in the embassy and the immigration officers at the border. The holders of V, L and H visas are exempt from this, and they are presumed non-immigrant by default. However, contrary to what you say here, L and H visa holders are still required to lack immigration intent.

The dual intent rule stems from completely different piece o US code, see the section 205 of Immigration Act of 1990:

> (h) The fact that an alien is the beneficiary of an application for a
preference status filed under section 204 or has otherwise sought permanent
residence in the United States shall not constitute evidence of an intention
to abandon a foreign residence for purposes of obtaining a visa as a
nonimmigrant described in subparagraph (H)(i) or (L) of section 101(a)(15)
or otherwise obtaining or maintaining the status of a nonimmigrant described
in such subparagraph, if the alien had obtained a change of status under
section 248 to a classification as such a nonimmigrant before the alien's
most recent departure from the United States.'.

This is the source of the dual intent doctrine. Note what it says: it says that application for permanent residency shall not constitute evidence of an intention
to abandon a foreign residence. The reason it says so is because prior to that, such application has in fact been used by Department of State to presume immigrant intent on behalf of H1 visa holders, and to deny them entry. This is the "legal fiction" rayiner is talking about: H1B visa holders are still required to have no immigration intent, and while the US Code Title 8, Sec. 1184(b) frees them from the presumption that they do have one and requirement to prove that they do not have it, the dual intent doctrine was still necessary in order to bar government agencies from concluding that they intend to immigrate based on their application explicitly saying that they intend to immigrate.

> But...it does say that in the statute.

No, H1B is still a non-immigrant visa, see section 1101(a)(15) which defines the non-immigrant visas.

> the exemption of H-1 and L visas from the no-immigration-intent requirement has been express in statute since the Immigration Act of 1990, so for the last 30 years the behavior you complain about has been strictly as directed by statute.

Right, the amended statute doesn't make it actually illegal, but still the whole procedure is based on legal fiction of not concluding immigrant intent where there obviously is one.
umanwizard is correct, in that salary + bonus + equity has been thoroughly reverse-engineered by FANG employees, and that H1Bs get equal pay for equal work, as their non-immigrant co-workers.

FANG hires anyone who can pass their hiring bar, regardless of their background, and there is always a shortage of applicants passing that hiring bar.
One of the advantages of being on an exponential growth curve is that this figure has been way lower in the past. Just go back 5 years and it's only a fraction of that. 5 more years and it's even lower. The gmail/drive/etc. data that come from Google's first decade of existence probably fit into those 4.3 petabytes.
FYI, they have to ship back the review units. Of course there is a financial aspect to the fact he gets the unit first and can publish the review and get the eyeballs, but it's just something to know about Apple, they don't give anything.
Or less charitably, they were trying to sell the premium accounts where that doesn’t happen.
Regardless of what happened, it's stuff like this that makes me consider leaving management. Any employee may try to get social media to take their side with any call you've had to make, which is stressful and potentially career-ending. Management is already a thankless job, and managers want to have a 9-5 like anyone else. Moreover, managers are often more bound in what they can and cannot say in public about employee decisions.

I switched from IC to EM because I really love helping grow careers, but if I ever was put in Jeff Dean's position I'd probably quit immediately. No job is worth it.
As for dilated (and also grouped, like ResNeXt) convolutions, there is full support

The dilated (general-purpose, fallback) convolution algorithm executes FMADDs not much slower than the 1x1 convolution. It makes slow im2col-style approaches unnecessary. Example here: https://nn-512.com/example/4

The idea is to split the input and dilated weight tensors up according to the stride, and then do 1x1 convolutions with accumulation at heightwise and widthwise offsets

No transformers at the moment. You can see what is supported here: https://nn-512.com/docs/graph
Consolidation is bad, and big megacorps effectively break the market dynamic that fosters healthy competition, innovation, and reduces the cost of goods/services. I am happy to see acquisitions by megacorps blocked in general. But really we need a revision of antitrust law for the modern era, and we need it to be enforced.

That is literally how performant emulators work.
I read her email and all I could read was her privilege and her entitlement. I think she knows there is racism and sexism in play but thinks everything is about that. The feedback going to HR was probably because they didn’t feel comfortable telling her it direct for fear of reprisals from her.
That is absolutely not given. It is understood that China's gdp are generally fudged/overstated, and also we could have a Japan scenario.

In the late 80s/early 90s, it was thought that Japan was going to dominate technology and cars and that just didn't happen.

Japan is doing fine, but not 'dominating' in any way. Japanese cars are doing fine in the US, but just can't compete well in the European market.

Same way with China. It is becoming a significant world power and market, but not dominate anything.

This interests me. I know exactly what the author refers too. As a white good loooking and fit man, I have no grounds for feeling bad and no technology — no app, SAAS, PAAS, device — exists to stave it off. I’ll be okay.

That's not true. California (which is a part of the US) uses net metering, under which consumer solar surplus is sold to the grid at retail rates.

If Bezos was really naughty he would fund unionizing at competitors like Walmart, Hy-Vee, Kroger, ...
That same argument applies to every employee outside of any one country of any company with a nexus in another.

"We're going to employ person P in country C2 therefore country C1 is losing out to C2 if person P isn't permitted to work in C1."

Therefore all borders must be opened. QED.
Ask HN: Best Project Management Tool for Global, Complex, Project
Hi all,

I was just asked to coordinate the covid-19 vaccine rollout for a medium-sized international humanitarian organization. The project will span 30 countries on at least 4 continents and the rollout will function differently in every country (some countries we will only handle logistics, some we will be directly taking part in vaccination, some others we may only coordinate, etc.). I need something flexible, easy, and comprehensive. I am admittedly over my head but I have a track record of getting the job done in hard situations. If you have any advice on a project management software or other tool, I would appreciate it very much!
"Much easier to make large cuts when you're on a completely different level to to begin with"

The author uses percentages. Both countries starting and endpoints are relatively close. How is it mathematically possible to call that "completely different level to to begin with"?
From Dean's email:

"A cross functional team then reviewed the paper as part of our regular process and the authors were informed that it didn’t meet our bar for publication and were given feedback about why. It ignored too much relevant research — for example, it talked about the environmental impact of large models, but disregarded subsequent research showing much greater efficiencies. Similarly, it raised concerns about bias in language models, but didn’t take into account recent research to mitigate these issues."

Is it true that this information was not shared with her?
Another great film on union breaking is the 1976 documentary Harlan County USA

People can choose whether they want their data retained after death. A default opt out sounds good.
There's no way they can justify devoting resources (i.e., staff, machines, tapes, storage space) and maintaining processes to do this when they're delivering services for billions of users, especially given that, as someone else has said, for privacy reasons people would assume/expect that expired data is automatically deleted.
Gmail doesn’t provide a way to delete the big emails. They just let you go over limit, you don’t know what is consuming resources, and you get charged for it.

So, like AWS.
How Much Is a Limb Worth?
Yes, for the stated use case. For malware analysis or analysing apps to create interoperable solutions, probably the only solution is a rooted phone and something like Frida.
I think it's Window Animation Scale, Transition Animation Scale and Animation Duration Scale.

Probably a poor choice of words, but I mean the opposite of a clean room reimplementation - it's one where the same person is looking at disassembly and writing the new implementation (i.e, the thing being reimplemented is a white box, not a black box).
Co-founder and CPO here

I'd say that Q2 2021 for Linux (Fedora/Ubuntu) is a fair estimate at this point.

We're still figuring things out wrt pricing, but will always offer an affordable option similar to what Slack and Zoom have.
Ahh, the flag and downvote works two ways. It filters out personal info because we all protect each other. That is great. Thank you friend. He push a waypoint.
It filters out bad info that is gibberish, and spam as well.
This is looking good either way.
Step V will draw the one conclusion.
Someone might be trying to tell you something really important and you just didn't |hear the message, and filtered it for everyone else.
Over all I appreciate it. Filters. But if your algo is wrong, your resulting set is wrong.
There's no academic freedom expected - that's private R&D work, the research and the paper is done on behalf of the company and wholly owned by it, not the employees who did it, and so your boss naturally has full control on when, how, where and if that research should be published.

It's just as if you'd want to open source some code that you wrote for your job, and suddenly the boss says "hey, don't do that" - there are many reasons why they might want to not publish it, and it's not your code to publish as you want.
No, this is a free account from way back when (2010 maybe?)
IIRC 10-30% of people wear mask in winter before covid.
> A behavior devoid of reason is nothing more than a ritual.

Absolutely. But we're not in "devoid of reason" territory here, we're in "with complex and sometimes impossible to quantify reasons" territory.

So here are two people:

- Person A is an epidemiologist-statistician who has run the numbers rigorously for his part of his county, factored in the likelihood of inter-county travel, and concluded that there's no benefit for any party to be wearing a mask in the specific situation they expected to be in when they left the house this morning, and that that situation is perfectly aligned with the reality of the day.

- Person B is an average underinformed conspiracy theorist who thinks COVID is all a scam perpetrated by the medical establishment for more funding and to undermine Dear Leader and that it would go away like magic in the summer, no the fall, no the winter if only the media would stop talking about it and 5G.

Neither person is wearing a mask. Neither person is wearing a baseball cap.

How can you (random sidewalk passerby) tell the difference between these two people?

I wear a mask, no matter how smart I'm feeling that day.

(Note that this is not a response to why one should wear a mask, just a light observation of a positive side effect! But there is value in signalling, even if it's just to normalize the behavior so that the reluctant just stop bothering to protest about such a simple thing, and thereby get a jump on any asymptomatic spread that occurs semi-randomly in populations.. :)
Ah yes. The horizontal scalability endgame.

Amazon designed a system that is perfectly horizontally scalable. The only issue is that they now need 33,000 machines to achieve the throughput of TimescaleDB running on a single node.

I would call the results this new school of software development produces horrifying, but I already get lynched every time I tell a startup that their horrifyingly complex horizontally 'scalable' AWS setup that costs them $10k a month could be replaced by a handful of ducktape running on a rPI.

The best part is how the scaling never really works and just adding a load balancer and a second rPI would've worked better.

"We didn't think we'd get that many users. I mean 10k! Whew! It just wasn't designed for this!"

"Oh. That sucks. My rPI is serving 2 million monthly visitors right now and I'm still waiting for CPU usage to dip into the double digits."

I'm not saying people should design their stuff to handle millions of users on underpowered hardware, but I am suggesting they not lose their sense of perspective while building their whatever.

Because if you do, you may end up thinking you did well when your DB maxes out at 500 inserts/second - Another DB running on a Nintendo DS might just outperform it.

I'm using this in production for our core Postgres database and am quite happy with it. We've used it to "devops the database" in that all migrations are deployed via CI jobs triggered by git commits.

I do sometimes wonder if Liquibase or Flyway would be easier, but I love the encouragement to write _migration tests_, which do not always look like the unit tests you might write with pg_unit.

Something we struggle with is naming our migrations; the name you assign a migration is the only organizational control you have over it, and it becomes essentially impossible to introspect the current state of the database through the migrations alone.

She is fired because she works against the interests of the company who hired her.

What is the story?
Great points. I remember back in (good lord) 2011 when the MRI research was shown [1]

I'm very excited about the new m1. While I'm tempted to buy it, I also can't wait to see what they do with it in their pro models. Or what the second generation looks like.

The competition is great for everyone, and Apple going all in on arm as they run from Intel's manufacturing failures is very well-timed.

I think this was somewhat inevitable, to be sure. Microsoft had Qualcomm and AMD processors in their surface [2], and I think as TSMC continues to dominate in manufacturing, we will see really exciting gains.

Also, I'm thrilled that CPUs are coming with tensor cores now. I think fast matrix operations might be separated from gpus (at the least, you no longer need a >$400 gpu for it), and that's a win for everyone, too.

In two years, we could be able to reimplement early neural network research on a macbook air! (I mean, you already can, but instead of taking minutes/hours/days, even more recent things become accessible)
