> Comparing floats for equality is not a good idea

This is very true, but the mention of data science is really significant here.

If you're trying to productionize a neural network or something similar, you ideally want to be able to pin down every source of noise to make sure your results are reproducible, so you can evaluate whether a change in your results reflects a change in the data, a change in the code, or just luck from your initial weights - with a big enough network, for all you know it decided that the 10th decimal place of some feature was predictive. I wouldn't be surprised if the author brings up tanh as an example specifically because it's a common activation function.

If you're pinning all your Javascript dependencies, but the native code it dynamically links to gets ripped out from under you, it could completely mislead you about what produces good results. Similarly, if you want to be able to ship a model to run client-side, it would be nice if you could just test it on Node with your Javascript dependencies pinned and be reasonably confident it'll run the same on the browser.

Of course, if you can't do that it's not the end of the world, since you can compensate by doing enough runs, and tests on the target platform, to convince yourself that it's consistent, but it's a lot nicer if things are just as deterministic as possible.

While I wasn't at EFF at the time the donation was made, I find it totally credible that the donor was an individual who wanted to highlight the Internet's ability to let people work together in new ways, and didn't have any hidden motive for encouraging this particular work. I believe primality testing was suggested as a topic for the prize by a panel of scientific advisors, who were mostly mathematicians.

In that timeframe, the main technical advances that helped GIMPS get more efficient were being made by Richard E. Crandall (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Richard_Crandall), who also wrote Prime Numbers: A Computational Perspective with Carl Pomerance (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carl_Pomerance). If these folks are trying to help governments keep a monopoly on expertise about number theory and the difficulty of the RSA problem, they seem to be doing a pretty bad job of it.

Those are desktop GPUs though, with (I'm guessing) an order of magnitude more power to deal with.

Looking at someone testing laptop GPUs specifically (https://github.com/analsec/hashcatbenchmark), it looks like it's only 3-4x slower than a mobile GTX 1060?

And .. also hugely outclassed by even a laptop GTX 1070. Oh well.

I'm still holding to "it's impressive for the size and TDP", even if it's probably not enough to replace "SSH into the workstation at the office to run hashcat" yet.
For anyone who wonders what about Charles Kuen Kao (高錕):

... Despite Kapany's work, the loss of signal over long distances via optical glass fibre was a recurring problem. What Kao did was work out how to fix this problem, and calculate how to transmit light over long distances. It was Kapany's work which led to the fabrication of the first ultrapure fibre in 1970. This was a game-changer in modern communication systems.

I do agree that most of the time it’s best to just go for it, but I will say...

One of my first interviews out of college years ago was at a FAANG company (rhymes with pamazon). I completely embarrassed myself, wasting not only the entire loop’s time but losing a ton of confidence in myself at a young age in my career. The entire experience was embarrassing.

Looking back I still have no idea how I ended up even getting invited in for an in-person loop.

My advice is to at least honestly assess any job posting’s requirements and compare to your true experience.
Just like with sports jerseys. The fun part is deciding do you show the front or the back? Maybe cut the shirt down the length of one side and display it in a butterfly cut? Get a frame that is glass encased on both sides, and then flip it over every week? I have seen actual framed butterflies with this kind of case so you can see both sides of the butterfly's markings.
Is "do X or we'll fire you" childish? Because that's pretty much how most employment works…
The many universes interpretation is the only one that makes Quantum Mechanics even vaguely intuitive.

Every other interpretation is just nonsense, but physicists have just stubbornly refused to give in and admit that this is so.
I would say that has a physics based answer as well that is made more precise by a non-semantic answer... sliders for amount of mixing and flipping, firmness, temperature of griddle, testing for color change, etc all tie directly into physics or sensors and trying to write a "Sunny Side Up" function first, then writing an "Over Easy" function, and then writing a "Scrambled" function become much easier and more robust when those names map to setting of the physics model.
It sounds like, after pressing the point, she was allowed to have her manager read the feedback to her, without sharing the author or process by which feedback was solicited. So, not provided in written form, but the substance would be received.

However, she was also told that the paper was to be retracted and that she wouldn't be allowed to address the feedback and keep the paper published. So the form in which the feedback was provided was immaterial.
> that is generally right for covering the golden path(s) and the major error cases

The thing is, your metric of 50-80% has nothing to do with if you're actually covering the golden path(s) and major error cases. The error cases you didn't think of, wouldn't count in this metric of course, but they might still be missed.

Code coverage as a metric says as much as number of lines as a metric. Meaning nothing, it's just a number. Aiming at any sort of code coverage metric misses to think about what to actually cover. 0 code with 0 tests has 100% code coverage, doesn't mean it's actually a good program.

Ok but I don’t think it had anything to do with being burnt out at any point either due to founder stress.

He had always been into the rave scene. His entire instagram page was like one big love letter to Burning Man. He had a new tour titled the “Rabbit Hole.” I think clearly there was some interest on his part with psychedelics or dissociatives that went too far, and made worse by surrounding himself with people too afraid to confront him about it.

Perhaps his story his relatable from afar but to paint this as something to do with “getting over burn out from overwork” is not what I’m seeing when I read this piece.

> at the last second

It was only ‘at the last second’ because Gebru chose not to follow the normal procedure.

If the paper genuinely can't be ready until one day before the external deadline, the right thing to do is engage with the reviewers in advance, explain the problem, and provide them with drafts and work in progress, so that they can complete their work a few hours after yours.

What Gebru did is the equivalent of bypassing code review and pushing to prod on Friday afternoon.
I've maintained such a log in a text file, but only for bugs where I actually facepalmed when I realized how I screwed up (and how much time I just spent debugging a really elementary problem). Thankfully it happens only a few times per year.

Most of them are along the lines of not fully implementing (either in typing or in touching all nearby places) some minor change while I'm iterating on an algorithm.

Here are a few (condensed and simplified) examples:

"Unfinished business..."

if (target.size() == 2)
sliceValue =
valuePerSlice[z] = sliceValue;

(Our linter would of course catch this, but it runs automatically only on the CI.)

---

"Variables change when they are assigned!"

ret[0] = scale * normalVector[0];
ret[1] = scale * a;
if (normalVector[1] < 0)
{
ret[0] = std::sqrt(2) - ret[1];
ret[1] = std::sqrt(2) - ret[0];
}

(The reassignments inside the if previously used their own instead of the other index.)

"Back when I didn't trust my refactoring tools"

Original code:

for (unsigned tr0 = 0; tr0 < triangles0.size(); ++tr0)
{
if (std::find(triangles1.begin(), triangles1.end(), triangles0[tr0]) != triangles1.end())
return triangles0[tr0];
}

After my change:

for (unsigned tr0 : triangles0)
{
if (std::find(triangles1.begin(), triangles1.end(), triangles0[tr0]) != triangles1.end())
return tr0;
}

(Don't refactor absent-mindedly!)

When children have a rough family/home life growing up, that can create some big obstacles to overcome later in life. If their parents don't see a value in education, then the children tend to inherit that outlook took, thus continuing the cycle. Of course, some will work there way out of it, but I'd imagine that number is small compared to those who get stuck in it.

That's not the assertion here. A good researcher should be aware of the current state of the field, and thus mention current efforts to solve a problem when discussing that problem. Regardless of who's doing the work.

I believe you can override libc's malloc by passing in LD_PRELOAD, at which point you've got the basic building blocks to test malloc failure if you can find a way to tell your malloc call apart from the others.

Having said that, I don't disagree with your choice, because messing with LD_PRELOAD is difficult, scary, and probably overkill anyway.

I've been vegetarian for 2 years now but as soon as this technology is generally available I'm going to eat these products so happily.

Meat substitutes are a nice alternative to have but they're nowhere near the real thing. And you can only have lentils so many days in a row.

This technology, once improved and using a better growth medium, literally has no downside. I can understand people might not want it for themselves but I'm sure there's a sizable market in meat that doesn't come from the hell that is modern factory farming (or the abbatoirs all animals end up in irrespective of the farm).
Note that you're now discussing corporate politics, not just creating software, even though creating software often has to deal with corporate politics.

My point is rzimmerman never contextualized this as a "how to navigate the workspace" argument, they are arguing it from a pure technical perspective.
> that term is offensive.

Sorry, but 'third world' is really only offensive to people from first world countries who find the term 'third world' offensive. Oh, and it might also be offensive to people in developing countries who can afford developed countries' lifestyles.

I may not agree with the usage either, but that's what I see all around the third world countries that I've been to, and the one where I have lived since I was born. No one really cares, and no one is offended (except see previous paragraph).
Which, unfortunately, would only further reinforce their narrative and confirmation bias.
Depending on the benchmark the M1 wins at per core vs the Zen3. The threadripper is substantially behind at per core performance with the Zen2.

The apple also has twice as many memory channels (8 vs 4) and runs the memory significantly faster (4266 vs 3200).

The m1 also has about half the latency to main memory.

So for highly random workloads that aren't cache friendly I'd expect the M1 to win.

If someone earns billions, they can do whatever they want with it as long as it is legal. Only when someone gets something which is not earned, that should become a taxable event.

This way, a billionaire giving his fortune away won't be taxed. If that fortune goes to charity, still not taxed. If that fortune goes to his kids or to their trust fund, it should be heavily taxed.
beyond reviewers or editors asking you to make changes like this (for example, "so-and-so just published <blah> which means that your sentence about <blah> is obsolete"), we're talking about research coming from a corporation. If one part of the company is trashing another part of the company, and it's based on stale results, asking to have the paper updated to include the latest results is reasonable.
> I'm sure there are plenty of people who have zero compunction about the practices of factory farms

Like the people who work there. If you had compunction, you would lose it quick, or else you wouldn’t last long

Many people have shown an extraordinary lack of compunction in doing things far worse than factory farming (from the viewpoint of human-centric ethics at least), e.g Auschwitz, Srebrenica, Sinjar

Maybe the government has enough money, maybe it doesn't. It's the structural disparity that Jeff Bezos' wealth represents that is the problem. His wealth also gives him disproportionate power to shape the incentives of the government, the economy, and the media narrative. Taxation is the proper remedy for breaking this power. We won't know what's possible until we stop letting barons write the laws.

Adam Smith's labour theory of value hasn't been used in modern economics. And has tons of problems with it. That and Ricardos version is probably the basis of the Marx version. They we're the popular interpretations at the time and he was probably inspired by them.

The marginal revolution happened in economics and a lot of those problems disappeared. A lot the things they couldn't explain suddenly could be using marginal economics and subjective preferences.

Marx simply didn't have the modern tools we have now. In fact if he was around afterwords it is likely he would never came up with Marxian LTV.

Frankly the only reason for it's popularity now, is because of it's association with communism. It provides the moral basis for it. As a result you've had a lot of people desperately trying to get it work in modern economic models as well without much luck.

But you can critique market economics using marginal theory of value. It just means markets have failures, not they are morally wrong at the core.
Remember when a President placing loyalists in key positions who wanted him to declare martial law, invalidate an election and install himself as God-Emperor, and who were part of a cult that believed he was sent by God to defeat a conspiracy of blood-drinking, satanic pedophiles in the opposing political party, would have been significantly more newsworthy than it is?

Surveying, for one, there are others.

Don't get me wrong, great group of people in surveying- lots of stories about field work, current instruments, current products, etc - near zero interest (for the most part) in the deep technical aspects other than a certain passing "that's interesting | cool".

I'm not sure that's a strong criticism though, it's a social group, you can meet many people and occasionally bump into the few that actually write|develop instruments an software and then have all the off channel conversations you want.

My interest has been implementing numerics in no particular field; cartography, remote sensing, medical imaging, engineering modelling, financials, weddings, parties, anything, etc. I wander through a range of application areas and usually go deep on very dull specifics.

It's a common story - pick a domain area, there'll be a social group interested in that domain, with students, veterans, casual pass throughs, etc ; stories, yarns, classic photos etc are all popular but for the most part getting into the weeds on fine details will bore the pants off the bulk of that group.

Lots of people like to flex at the local climbing wall, few will ever bolt their way to the summit of Cerro Torre or cable ascend the Sydney Tower- this limits the discussion pools on portable generators and|or designing custom ascenders for cables and window washing tracks.

How is saying "stop writing your documents because it doesn’t make a difference" "totally not the same thing as telling your fellow employees to stop working"? Assuming your fellow employees are writing those documents for their job, isn't telling them to stop doing that exactly the same thing?
This response frustrates me because while it's technically correct, I think it misses what I was saying entirely.

My perception of what the OP was going for was a complain that the Senate is, in some way and not representing anything - just arbitrary wills.

It is representing something, though. It's the second half of congress and it's meant to represent the will of the states as a whole.

Calling it a "majoritarian body of which the constituents are states", while technically correct, is full of sufficiently advanced language as to lose meaning in regular conversation.

Instead, I explained how it is equal representation, of sorts - the things that are being represented are the states, so it is fair, of sorts.

It's easier for a person who doesn't want to read a set of scholarly words to think "oh, so it's a democracy, except all the states are people" than it is to break down each word - at least, I think it is, which is why I worded it that way.

Also in their statement, I assumed, was an assumption that it's unfair and therefore the Senate is worthless and should be abolished because it ignores everyone's will - even when working properly - so, I tried to compact that in there, as well, by trying to bring implications that the United States of America is not just a collective of people, but it's also a collective of states and each of them desires representation in our democracy.

I guess, thank you for the etymology lesson, but it missed my whole point.
