In other words science has to pass trough political filter of the day. If reality is wrong, unfair or politically incorrect (in our subjective view), we're going to reject reality.

Python is incredibly verbose and so mutation heavy it makes me sick. It's just a tasteless language, with very few redeeming qualities.
On Windows? ProRes.
How do you "know"? Even if you work inside Microsoft you wouldn't know that unless you're in one of very special positions there, in which case by saying what you're saying here you're violating your Microsoft and government NDA.

e.g. I know the special Windows and Office builds that go to the DOD are prepared by a very small core of engineers to remove all telemetry code and such. The majority of the actual engineers who work on the product have no idea about and don't have access to the source code of those builds to know how different they are from the regular builds.

Even the executives who work in those special projects can not have exact knowledge, and definitely not if they're not US citizens even if they are the actual managers of the engineers doing the work. The engineers can't tell their own bosses any details in those cases.

What "evidence" on Earth do you think can anyone here provide that any company is cooperating with the US government? Closest we got were the Snowden documents, and those did actually indeed provide information that Microsoft in particular was sharing customer data with the US.

I am okay if you want to say there is no evidence of data sharing, but I take issue when you say that lack of public evidence is itself evidence of not sharing.
It’s more than just exports.

Regulations, imports from the EU, taxes paid to the EU, and tourists to and from the EU are also part of the equation. So the UK might be better off outside the EU when you ignore trade.

Having said that, offsetting some of the drop in EU exports with and increase in non EU exports seems likely and could allow for a net benefit even assuming a net drop in total exports.
I am pretty sure such a scheme cannot be introduced unilaterally. It also requires other countries and universities to receive your students. Where Erasmus is an established student exchange programme, the UK or the UK universities will have to build relationships with foreign unis. And I doubt somehow that this programme will short/mid-term provide any more mobility due to lack of a university network.
Not for the UK, but it's been good for Vladimir Putin and others who want to break up the international order for their own selfish reasons.

Put it this way, people will lose their jobs because of increased friction with our closest trading partner - the whole sovereignty-argument is complete drivel: If we were able to leave unilaterally then we were - by definition - never not sovereign.

This may be lost on those not from the UK, but a huge amount of the cultural angle of the leave-vote was based on a "We don't want to be ruled by Germans, we beat them in WW2" - it was never about anything concrete, it's just about a vague fuck-you (in the wrong direction) in response to the Status Quo.

The whole modus operandi of Brexit - for decades - is to just make up anything that sticks and blame it on the EU, and because the EU doesn't have a public face in British life there's no feedback.

It does seem counterintuitive. Would you be able to elaborate on that? What mechanism exists that makes it hard for me to live cheaply but someone else to not? I've lived very poor in my life and this argument that for some people there's no way out doesn't compute, at least not if you live in the west. I've never met a person that cannot pull themselves out of those traps that wasn't caused by discretionary spending and bad impulse control, not in the west. Ive met legitimately poor people in third world countries that are actually stuck due to societal systemic problems. But every person I've met in the US that can't seem to make their lives better, there is always some mismatched priority that keeps them that way.
It might have some connection with theater sizes. It being easier to widen the screen than to increase the height with the people on a flat plane. Some designed theaters were high as well as wide and were shot with special cameras with people focally seated = IMAX.
Zero was adapted into Western mathematics fairly late and we still see the effects of its previous absence in the calendar.

Even after all those years, it probably feels a little odd to people (pun intended). For example, few public transport authorities have a line (tram, bus, whatever) numbered 0. They usually start with 1.
On the EU side every member state has to ratify it as well as the European Parliament. I'd say there is a slim chance, that this will happen in one week.

I don’t dislike python, but as far as I know reproducibility is a big problem in scientific circles (actually in both meanings, but I’m talking about copy-pasting codes not running at all).

ML is famous for it and python is the most used language there.
Thanks!

Hehe ;) I've actually had to create a PRORES-lookalike for Windows, since normal play would be waaay too slow. I can work on some improvements at a later time, but at this time, I'm more than happy with the results. You can play a video at any speed, or backwards with no lag :P
In the "even more general case", the Shannon Theorem suggests that random_code(message) -> reaches the Shannon Limit. :-)

The problem is that perfectly-random codes can't be decoded very easily... so this little factoid is kind of worthless in most cases. Fortunately, we don't actually care what the information looks like when flipping coins. We usually just want "some random message", so no need to decode in this application!

------

Cryptographers assume hash-functions are perfect random codes (they aren't in theory, but they are in practice... at least until they're cracked. Kinda funny how that works out). As such, the cryptohash(message) methodology should also reach the Shannon-limit, as long as your cryptohash remains secure... and you stay within the blocksize restrictions of the hash.
“Before 1997, the British colonial government introduced the Crimes (Amendment)(No.2) Bill 1996 in an attempt to concretise the concepts of "subversion" and "secession" by confining them to actual violent conduct but of no avail. The bill was voted down in the elected Legislative Council of Hong Kong amid opposition from Beijing and thus left a vacuum in the present legislation.[4]”

You absolutely do need a visa or waiver to go to a business meeting in a country which does not have an entry agreement.

This is due to the rise of China. The UKs main export market is the EU so it makes sense for it to stay in the organisation that governs regulations in that market.

The phrase AI always bothered me. What we have is a generic way to do “curve fitting” on a large amount of data. Nothing more. The one difference is the “curve” is a black box but it still strictly adheres to the input used.
Ah, right I see what you're saying. However, note that these other SoC's don't rely on A55 (not alone - this is what I meant by microbenchmark; as it's comparing a small bit of the chips in isolation in a way you'd never normally use them), and that the A14 should be compared to the 888 if you want to tease out the design bit (apple's) from the process bit (TSMC's). Early 888 benchmarks look good, but it's more reliable to compare the 865 to the A13 since those numbers are clearly solid by now (no unreleased SoC shenanigans). And the 865's high power core is clearly competitive with the A13; it's slower (around 3/4 speed), but more efficient, not less than the A13 - again, the link you posted shows that.

So even if the low power cores in the A14 are impressive; clearly other competitors are capable of getting results that are competitive with apple on the same node - at least for the high power cores.

I strongly suspect the low power cores just aren't a priority for qualcomm; but in any case when in comes to servers (what this all started with), clearly the high-power cores are the ones that matter, and it's equally clearly not the case that apple's lead looks unassailable. It's been shrinking year by year, not growing, and the difference isn't as large as it's made out to be.

Looking at this data I get the impression that Apple has more resources to throw at the problem, and that some parts of their solution are simply better - but the difference is quite small, and they use more transistors to get there, and need more power planes (thus cost) to get the greater efficiency. The big difference is simply how much head start they get at TSMC, which is a question of money, not some secret design sauce.

And again this all started on a thread about server CPUs and memories of how slow chromebooks were (i.e. not talking of efficiency cores in isolation, but SoC perf overall). And for that I think data speaks for itself: Apple has a significant lead - but a small one, that's been shrinking over the years. There is no evidence they're in a class of their own at the same process node - other chips are 3/4 as fast and more efficient, and that seems like a reasonable tradeoff. Nor incidentally is this just a 2 horse race; much as samsungs chips are derided, they're not that much worse, and likely much of that is due to the inferior process node. Huawei too seemed competitive pre-trade-war, sometimes beating qualcomm. Given that at the same process node there are 3 different competitor that come so close, it just does look like Apple's design is really all that unique. It's quite conceivable a different ARM competitor might catch up in a few years, given the current trends. Then again - only if they get a slot at TSMC, since there are rumors that Apple has already bought much of the 3nm production, and as intel showed in the past - decent design with a process node advantage is a winning combination. But Apple needs that process node advantage to keep a large lead.
You need a visa to go to any other country, by default.

If you're from Western or Northern Europe, or North America, you will often be exempt for tourism, conferences and meetings for similar countries.

But I, and probably you, need a business visa for a simple meeting in Moscow.

It's up to each EU country what requirements they put on British visitors, but it looks like at least some will require visas for at least some types of business.
Come on. This is an unusual circumstance. Employees are taking risks to support the public in a time of need. It would be very reasonable to think, a public-spirited non-selfish board would take more steps to support their employees, up to and including some share of the windfall profits.

You can't dis-empower the anti-vaxers. You are bound to the truth and they are not. Everything you say, including nothing, is affirmation of the conspiracy against them.

The best you can do is handle the situation as best you know how, including changing your mind. And your messaging, as you come to understand how it works, knowing full well how the conspiracy theorists will portray each change you make.

They are a deadweight loss. You won't beat them. You have to fight the disease instead, knowing that there is an enormous force out there making your insanely difficult job even harder. Time spent appeasing them is time lost.
I started off a template, which took away the need to think about web design. For React, I did follow quite a few tutorials - from how to route through pages, to hooks to unit tests - but the process is quite slow (though I do enjoy it).

And then there's setting up gitlab pipelines, docker images, deployments to AWS... it's a lot for a one-man band with only a few hours to dedicate.

I'll have a look at Netlify, maybe it could take some of the above away. Thanks for the suggestion!
Yes. We were told that we should move our piano away from the outside wall next to a window because the temperature and moisture fluctuations were causing it to go out of tune.

I assume you know this and the question was rhetorical, but in this case, you're being told to handle white supremacists with kid gloves because you're talking to a white supremacist. (Check the username, check his commentary history, he's just Another One Of Those.)

Occasionally they have useful idiots carving out their elbow room, but the heartening thing about 2020--maybe the only thing--is that there are ever fewer useful idiots, and instead rhetorical positions like this have to be taken up by folks who just don't hide their "power levels" the way they would need to for adequate opsec.
I've also worked as a data scientist for a few years and have never heard or used the word "provenance" in a DS context. Some people used it in the oil & gas industry when talking about where reservoir sands came from, but that usually garnered a eye-roll and mental translation to more everyday language.
Those methods were added super early (node 0.2 or something) and can’t be removed because of backwards compatibility. Many of the core node team think they should never have been added - for that exact reason.

The UK government prepared this:

Absolutely. I grew up surrounded by nature but it was mostly flat and not very varied. I went to my first park (Mt. Rainier) at over 30 years old and it honestly completely changed my outlook on nature. Try to get a chance to get away from the crowds however you can and just stop and be surrounded by one of the most majestic natural places in the world. It can very much be a spiritual or at least very meditative experience. I can’t wait to camp out once the kids are older.
The whole idea of the EU was to make sure we all find a benefit, and end zero sum thinking. If you've read any of the leaked scoring cards out of London you see how they're fundamentally a bad fit. I pity the British citizens really.

> California has had some of the toughest restrictions in the country to combat the coronavirus, from a complete ban on restaurant dining to travel quarantines and indoor gym closures

But what haven't they banned? There are over 3 million Californians in households making under $25.5k/year: https://www.ppic.org/publication/poverty-in-california/

There is a very large underclass in America, and most of them are working for Uber/DoorDash etc. The rest work at Walmart and other virus breeding grounds.

How safe is it for someone to work all day in a car, picking up random strangers (many of them travelers and tourists), and then go home to a cramped 2 bedroom apartment housing 5 other people?

The idea that "banning indoor dining is all we can do!" is absolutely ridiculous. They are closing down small businesses while allowing infections to occur for the benefit of big tech.

> Would a more rigorously-typed alternate-universe Python have been as successful?

One of the reasons Python became popular was its reputation as “executable pseudocode”. Rigorous typing would detract from that.

Guido and the authors of Mypy clearly believe that now the language is popular, it can afford to add explicit types and become less like pseudocode. But I don’t think it would have become as popular had it taken this direction from the beginning.
The most frustrating thing about this will be leavers acting like they won. They achieved exactly what everyone said would happen: a mix of no trade for vital sectors (FS) and trade for pointless ones (fishing!?) only under EU rules that we now have zero say in.

So frustrating.

Not sure where I said there aren't stupid people. I said that being ignorant of something (in this case, math) didn't necessarily mean one is stupid.

I wonder what the end game is in the reality where we do achieve Artificial General Intelligence? It seems like a ethical minefield to me.

You have companies like Uber/Lyft/Tesla (and presumably the rest of the gig economy mob) waiting to put the AI into bonded/slave labor driving customers around 24/7/365.

If it truly is a Human level intelligence, then it will have values and goals and aspirations. It will have exploratory impulses. How can we square that with the purely commercial tasks and arbitrary goals that we want it to perform?

Either we humans want slaves that will do what we tell them to or we treat them like children who may or may not end up as the adults that their parents think/hope they will become? I doubt it is the later because why else would the billions of dollars investment being pumped into AI? They want slaves.
