The Python 2-to-3 transition worked because Python is too big to fail. D has never reached that momentum. Rust is a more modern language in comparison to D and the trend will continue without D3. Also the drama back to ~2009 was pretty bad and the community got hurt. Three of my colleagues wrote long programs in D but have abandoned the ship.
Interestingly enough, sheet music was actually a big industry in the 19th century. There were superstars, artists getting exploited by publishers, the whole nine yards.

I was flipping through a music history textbook, and the author identified the development of movable type for printing music with the birth of the "music industry."
It's some combination of those things. Lots of them are just random filler and arbitrary ramblings, but the ones he gets pressed on repeatedly are answered in whatever way provokes a desired reaction at that exact moment. Some of it even seems to be remorseless and haphazard A/B testing. He's well beyond a severe pathological liar, as most such people would lack an innate desire to deceive with such intense frequency, and there might not even be a name yet for whatever trait he exhibits. Psychologists are just forbidden by their licensing body from commenting on a president's mental state while still in office.
Last week I came to my Windows PC to see it was completely locked up. Until that I haven't noticed it, but at some point in my history with Windows boxes, crashes and issues became a rare notable event. I started relying on them. I was surprised.

Alas, it turns out my OS drive was busted. Not Windows' fault. Before that, more than a year ago I had some crashes with Windows, by then it was my GPU dying out. It's all anecdata, and it still doesn't feel right to praise Windows for its stability (guess everyome from earlier days would feel the same), but hey, in last few years my Windows OSes outlasted the hardware they worked on.

In the meantime I can't count how many times I had to reboot my Macs (two of them) for one reason or another. Crashes after wakeups, permanent visual bugs that only get solved after reboots, weird slowndowns, Mac's disdain for external monitors and adaptors, etc etc. Back then Mac was the it-just-works machine, nowadays I would attribute that to nothing but Windows.
Didn't say anything about effectiveness at creating change; Trump could have had that on lock just by pressing the red button, so to speak. I said leader.
What is this service you are talking about?
This is the correct answer. But minus the downside you note. I’ve worked for American companies since moving to England then France, and I only ever work normal hours.

Maybe a 7pm call once a week, but beyond that, you just hand things off during the 3 hours a day that you overlap.

And you make 5-10X what the local shops pay. It’s insane.
guess I have to work my way up a bit further :)
the trick to MSG is to double what naturally occurring rate. Chicken that tastes like nothing can taste wonderful with a tinest dash and it'd taste like the best damn chicken. doesn't work well with food already full of umami like parmesan cheese.. and don't keep adding if you're already adding food additives like stock from a can/carton. Those are usually already heavily "fortified" with msg by itself.
I know a lot od developers from CyberCraft https://cybercraftinc.com who have moved out of tech. Few of them become enterpeneurs, there are also some literate managers. Perhaps, you can try freelance first and free time to look for anything you really like.
I used a hex editor to hack my BT1 save disk to give my characters XP and gold. I miscalculated or mis-converted the XP, and my characters all wound up around level 900. I would leave a weight on the key to "interview" at the school to advance a level, and watch TV for 20 minutes while they all leveled up.

I had a real story with hacking the Centauri Alliance save disk, which had a bit more obfuscation. I figure there's about 3 people who care, and they're all going to see this HN thread, so: https://davidkrider.com/hacking-centauri-aliance/

If your company is dependent on the CEO to make 100% correct decisions, 100% of the time then it’s not the CEO that’s the problem - it’s the company. A strong, resilient, adaptable, agile company can weather a poor leader, a weak, brittle, rigid one cannot.

They’re doing pretty well in audio, iirc. I tend to use FPGAs for most of the things I’d use an xmos for, but I’m probably not their market. If you want a microcontroller with guaranteed low latency input/output, they’re pretty neat, and the links between chips can be very useful.
I did the same thing. Bought a refurbished Thinkpad X250 and installed FreeBSD on it. Now it use it as my main development machine. I haven't look back since.
lol brrrrt. Actually there's heaps of cases. Traditional servers are large, power hungry and generally 10-100x the compute power most jobs need if you buy a piece of hardware for a site. Traditional server also requires expensive monkey like me to service.

RPI rack on other hand. plug and play. Cheap as chips to keep failover as you can keep backup rigs in a cupboard. It doesnt require expensive monkey to unplug bits. Most sites I serve have minimal if any internet at all. So cloud compute not an option everything has to be done on-site. RPI is perfect. It has more than enough grunt, costs bugger all, performance is rock solid.
Bro, Asian on Asian racism is like way higher than western racism towards that region.

I’m almost positive Koreans think they are better than Chinese, and the Chinese think they are better than Koreans, and they both low key hate Japan’s uppityness (Of course the Japanese consider them ‘less than’, we can certainly throw in some historical advantage taking to add flame to this). This is like a age old tale in almost any region (think Pakistan/India/Bangladesh).

So ya, I can bet you there’s a level of passive aggressive racism to this day, like everywhere else on planet earth.
Which is also why in what concerns Xamarin roadmap, macOS, Windows, iOS and Android are what matter, with Linux left for the community.
Sounds like Apple News. I am not a subscriber but this is what I understand the offering to be with regard to the WSJ. I think it is not comprehensive, but it includes a good deal of WSJ content. I think it can also be purchased even more cheaply as part of Apple's recently announced bundles.
If the only food they know to contain MSG is Chinese food then it’s a stretch to call that racism.
See, here is something I actually happen to agree with you.

What a stupid comment. Are you really saying the only possible reason is racism? When all you have is a hammer...
I do a lot of work for personal projects on an old 2.6Kg 2011 laptop I never felt the need to replace. I have no doubt I can produce benchmarks on this laptop involving daily tasks any average user does that would destroy any M1 device. Also I can do things on it no M1 device can reliably do right now and won't do for a while, perhaps ever or until M2 are already out (docker much?). My point is I am tired of useless biased benchmarks. Just tell people what they are: Laptops running on smartphone tech. Powerful enough to do most if not all daily tasks without any perceivable performance impact or inconvenience for the average user. Also way more efficient and cheaper to produce. It is very simple, and marketable. Just the integration with smartphone apps is already a super nice selling point, why not make it the core of the marketing strategy instead of those convoluted tricky and misguiding benchmarks and claims? What the Appleshpere is doing is comparing apples to oranges. Like: Hey look how much faster hackernews is compared to facebook! Ok, sure, whatever.
Yeah, I mean of course that’s a possibility. I looked it up, and apparently Steve Carrell wrote the episode in question. It’s not too wild to imagine that he used the opportunity to present his own character as more than just a bumbling oaf.

But then again, Michael having an inconsistently high emotional IQ is a recurring theme. When he’s in “sales mode”, he’s really good at making an emotional connection with people and making them feel like they’re buying from a friend.

I dunno. It’s an interesting conundrum the series presents and obviously doesn’t dig into too deeply since it’s a sitcom. Michael is sometimes unnaturally attuned to someone’s feelings and other times extremely oblivious to them.
Yes, for retirement it would have to be something like 400K-500K, which seems to exist in the bay area but is probably not readily available remotely.
Exactly, but that doesn't fit the narrative! It must be racism!
Is this why my memory consumption explodes when I increase the batch size of my inputs? Sorry I’m a relative GPU noob, but I find it fascinating to observe some higher level interactions with eg pytorch; it seems like the GPU is a very leaky distraction, and you quickly find yourself battling GPU memory management, truncating input sizes and whatnot in order to deal with the insane memory requirements.
Fair point, but both ions in MSG are vital to human health in significant quantities. Plus, we've got a heck of a lot of epidemiological data in the countries where it is eaten liberally vs. where it is not, and there is nothing suggesting any significant negative effect aside from known overconsumption of either of the ions, regardless of their compound form.
Enter the Power Law Distribution
The racism addition into everyday online discourse is what 'flavors' an article or topic, kind of like MSG flavors Doritos or stir-fry. Is it racism, is it not, it leads to a heated fight-or-flight type of feeling, or an indignation, or a strong nod and interest. Similar to the way salaciousness gets our attention in an ad or gossip story.
This.

Invoking racism and gender discrimination when it’s not the reason, causes more racism and it gives more than ample opportunity to actual racists within us to exploit it for their own nefarious needs.
Can't speak to Spectrum specifically but in a past life I did customer service with a cellular company. Their billing system was set up so that you couldn't update the features on an account (a feature being a data plan or texting plan, for example) unless _all_ of the features on the account were current.

It was a pretty blatant move to push customers off of grandfathered plans. For example this was about 10 years ago when iPhones were becoming popular, and at the time at least there were iPhone specific features for data plan and visual voicemail. So someone upgrading to an iPhone would be forced to give up any grandfathered plans on their account.
It’s a negative presence because it presents the moral degeneration of society.

Glad to see that there are more of us like this, I thought I was the only one.

Before the pandemic I did drink, and relatively heavily, but I'm quite young and it was always with or around a highly supportive friend group that would help me if it was a problem.

Since the pandemic I have been drinking more regularly, until recently, where I've started taking low-level illicit substances to help cope with the lack of future prospects and just overwhelming boredom caused by this virus.
> You're presuming that we are just bleak repositories of trillions of sentences stiched together

...and you are presuming we aren't. Yes yes, we input from more sources than books, but electronic NNs can too. And it's not clear which inputs are or aren't important. Humans that are blind from birth are still intelligent.

The only thing we know for certain right now is that order-of-magnitude increases in the complexity of NNs produces dramatic results. And we're still quite a few orders of magnitude away from the complexity in a human brain.

Different countries have different purchase power so subscriptions may be different expensive depending where you live. That said, paying for news is essential for our democracy. Paying for news allows news sites to pay journalist to research and write news stories.

If we do not pay for news, news has to be financed through online advertising which is basically selling personal data for profit. Without paying revenue local news sites cannot afford to hire journalist. If there is not local journalist, there will not be controls, checks and writings on what elected officials do. Local news papers feed national news feed with articles and national news.

So its essential for our democracy that we are willing to pay for news services which pays journalists.
Backprop is good at giving credit where credit is due: you're looking at the impact of each weight on loss, which allows changing each weight to improve the loss, by an appropriate amount proportional to the other weights. You can even have some negative weight gradients and some positive; ie, it may be that even with a 'good' overall result that it's best to turn down a particular weight.

So my guess is that this approach would either take a much longer time to converge (as there's less information transmitted back for the neuron updates) or stall out completely.

Probably not too hard to code up, if you want to try it. But I would also be pretty surprised if it hadn't been tried before.
Simpler explanation: People don't read the article. Why do you think people complain about titles so much even though they really don't matter
It is hard to reconcile your comment with the history of Nokia N9.

The critics and the customers loved N9. I would have loved to own one. Instead, it was silently killed off without even being given a chance.

N9 was Nokia adapting to the smartphone/touchscreen ecosystem.

and that's exactly where this hoax started

after all, it doesn't take a genius to connect the dots when the vernacular for msg problems is "chinese restaurant syndrome"

I want you to know that my "blanket statement" (as you label it) was itself a criticism of "blanket" generalizations we see all too often in this era of identity politics. How telling that you had nothing to say about the rampant use of identity politics to target and discredit people, but did feel it important to express your discontent with my "content".
Yeah, genius could even be an understatement in my opinion. He is up there with the greatest of the greats. Anyone with a quarter of his productive output would easily qualify as genius already. He has basically no presence online besides his remarkabke work and of course that only strengthens the legend.
Yep! I remember being taught it was something "shifty" Chinese people do to their food to make it taste better as a sort of dishonest competitive trick, at the cost of the health of their customers. I was told so many ethnic groups were "shifty" like this compared to the "moral" white majority. I think growing up in the USA means being exposed to a lot of different kinds of racisms and "otherings." Its incredible how in denial some people are over this and how "racism is dead, if it ever existed" is a common theme in the USA, especially over the last 4 years due to presidential politics.
But are the kids rediscovering those specific games? That's the "memory" we're talking about here.

I'd argue Nokia sunk Windows Mobile and not the other way around. Hardware was hard to come by, countless models were never released despite the OS being light years ahead of Android.

Around the official death of Windows Mobile, most of us just wanted them to launch hardware that wasn't a joke.
It is a straw man, because it is conflating the idea that SolarWinds had some simple security hole in the past with the evidence of this particular hack, which shows quite a level of competent capability, at least as described by the FireEyes report.

Edit: Furthermore, the argument isn't just "the attack is so sophisticated it could only have been done by the Russians." The report from Reuters identified people internal to the investigation who said it "bore the hallmarks" of known Russian hacking groups. One could argue that isn't sufficient evidence, fine, but nobody is saying people are just assuming it's the Russians because it's a sophisticated attack.

I actually know how to do the splitting and recombining part pretty well using Da Vinci Resolve (kind of like the open source version of Adobe Premiere / Final Cut Pro) but I was wondering what the easiest tool would be to process.

Do you have to just call into the python script process.py primitive? Or do you call into that main.go? It's just this simple IO that I feel like would be the hard part.

> SolarWinds is, with high probability, above average and above average is, in absolute terms, abysmal.

If what was reported by Reuters is true, SolarWinds had huge holes in its security. None of the companies I've worked for on recent years would keep a FTP server containing critical data on a public network with a guessable password:
"A security researcher told Reuters he warned the IT firm SolarWinds in 2019 that its “solarwinds123” password for its update server could be accessed by anyone."

This is the TL;DR to a lot of stuff in life.
Are they for different reasons? What is the reason Koreans think it's bad for health? As I haven't read about that.

Given that in the west it was also dubbed "Chinese Restaurant Syndrome" I would think some form of prejudice played a part.
lol? what if you don't need a heap of compute power but require a lot of redundancy? A single server is not good for that...Also not every site has internet so yes having small redundant easily replaceable nodes on-site does have plenty of use cases.

Y'all negative folks against this seem to have very restricted use cases in mind. Not all redundant rack servers live in a 36U case in a air-conditioned internet connected server farm. There are plenty of use cases outside of this.
Similar experience here but with Atari 8 bit.

As an aside, those Apple 2 analog joysticks were truly awful.
I've read Ahonen's posts for a long time. He was an oldschool Nokia loyalist until that position became untenable.

E.g. in 2010 when smartphone apps were already a thing, he was gung-ho about MMS:
https://communities-dominate.blogs.com/brands/2010/06/an-inc...

"Compared to Facebook, MMS reaches a 3 times bigger audience - its lead is radically bigger compared to smaller social networking sites like MySpace, Twitter, Flickr etc. The same is true of the total installed base of all brands of smartphones. If you only think of apps for Apple's iPhone including the total shipments of all iPod Touch and iPad devices, MMS will reach an interactive multimedia mobile phone audience... that is 20 times larger."

If you had invested based on his analysis, you'd have got a business built around last-gen messaging technology just as it was being wiped out.

Aw, man, that's been a sticking point for years, that magic 8G. I don't know how they do it, but 8G of RAM has been the ever-soldered / or mid-range / you-need-to-pay-more-for-the-next-model-up thing for at least 5-6 years now. Even a web browser can eat up that 8G if it's hungry enough.
In 2010, Nokia was fucked. Series 60 wasn't competitive and the repeated ground-up rewritings of their Linux platform meant it was way behind schedule. The N9 shipped late, and even then only shipped as early as it did because development of the followup device had been sacrificed to put more people on the N9. Realistically, in 2010 it was already clear that Nokia would have nothing to ship in 2012.

I liked the ~2004 Thinkpad’s, but sadly they had crap battery life by today’s standards. You could install larger batteries and swap them out if they started to degrade, but most people just treated them as needing to be plugged in 24/7.
There’s a long history of racism against Chinese immigrants in America. Among the only jobs they were allowed to have was having restaurants. Of course this led to rumours of Chinese restaurant being dirty and their MSG causing sickness. It’s a very long history and it’s well documented. While you’re at it, read on the Chinese exclusion act.

And now you’re saying that people who call this racism for what is is are the ones responsible for the racism. You’ve got to be kidding.
