You're shilling or being a useful idiot for the CCP.

The CCP Thousand Talents program is foreign talent recruitment by the Chinese state while the target still works at the foreign company, so espionage:

- the CCP pays both mainland Chinese and foreign experts large ongoing fees to report on their research while abroad. This is espionage, in return for typically about $250,000/year.

- they're aaked to file patents on behalf of the CCP, not the foreign institution actually financing the work

- they're required to follow a CCP code of conduct, including not criticizing the CCP. The code of conduct is likely at odds with foreign citizenship and institutional rules.

The FBI has stated they have over 2,000 spy cases open, with half involving the CCP. The last number I saw for Thousand Talents enrolment was 7,000 experts. This was not taken seriously until the recent leak of a global CCP spy list:

FinRL: A Deep Reinforcement Learning Library for Quantitative Finance
FinRL is the open source library for practitioners. To efficiently automate trading, AI4Finance provides this educational resource and makes it easier to learn about deep reinforcement learning (DRL) in quantitative finance.

In quantitative finance, automated trading is essentially making dynamic decisions, namely to decide where to trade, at what price, and what quantity, over a highlystochastic and complex stock market. Taking many complex financialfactors into account, DRL trading agents build a multi-factor model and provide algorithmic trading strategies, which are difficult for human traders

FinRL provides a framework that supports various markets, SOTA DRL algorithms, benchmarks of many quant finance tasks, live trading, etc.

Yeah, and there's Discord, which also has group chat with history, and a decent interface.

What Team Speak, Mumble, and especially Ventrilo have going for it is that they are more lightweight. However, Ventrilo has a strange latency which cannot be solved (except by moving on). Team Speak, Mumble, and Discord don't suffer from this. Also, Ventrilo cannot be self-hosted (while Team Speak and Mumble can).

I would like to see numbers which would compare the 'normal' IT market from US with the normal IT market from Europe.

No one can beat Companies like Google, MS, Amazon.

Even a company like Facebook which basically does nothing useful earns so much money just because it was the social media platform which was early enough and one.

And with Google and similiar companies having the money year over year to hire the best people puts them even further at the edge.

It is not magic to be market leader in a market as young as it.

The intuitions we have for billiard balls, and the intuitions we have for crests and troughs in a pool of water, both look sort of like they’re applicable to electrons, at different times and under different circumstances. But the truth is that both intuitions simply aren’t applicable.

IMHO, light is light. When we view it as a particle, we are wrong. When we view it as a wave we are also wrong, but in a different way.
> "access"... If you wanted, an old vt100/vt220 or whatever other hardware serial terminal you like can be connected to a linux or other system and access a shell account with text browsers etc. In that scenario the terminal is "accessing the internet".

This doesn't sound anything like reality to me. Mobility requires resources. Some people are born into resources, and others are not. Did you know that CEOs are taller than average? That within any particular ethnic and gender group, being taller means you're likely to have more power and earn more money over your lifetime? I don't think it's because of any central authority punishing short people.

Hey folks, Phiar founder here (YC S18), we are the AI and AR tech behind this Panasonic AR HUD.

Just wanted to help clarify that 300ms means "delay", not refresh rate (FPS). We run our entire AI and AR at under 33 ms per frame, and we can get to about 60 FPS of optimized throughput. The 300ms of delay mostly comes from the hardware display process: it takes time for the camera to receives an image, and passes that image through many different pieces before getting to the processor that we can use, and then it takes again some time to be rendered. With that said 300ms is the upper-bound and typically the delay is less than that. Further, you may not have noticed but there's similar delays for iPhone AR games, as well as to all other AR headsets, and that delay is there just for the videos to display (no AR, no AI).

We also recognize that distraction is a risk, and therefore UI/UX design is highly important here. Ultimately, we believe that overlaying on a live view in a clean and effective way is better than people reading directions off of a synthetic 2D map on a different screen that takes your eyes completely away from the frontal view.

Definitely appreciate all the feedback and discussions though, we will continue to improve and do our best to deliver a product that people want!

- BTW we are totally hiring: software engineers, PMs, sales, AI/AR scientists, and more!

> get talked down

How do you make the difference between being talked down because of gender, or because you didn’t practice the skills at the game enough, or bad relations or similar? Is it really the boy’s role to make the experience beautiful for girls? in which case, boys would have the gendered role of explaining the games to girls.

> gatekeeping games

You see, that is my point. Pretty much all activities of real life are gatekept. Programming is the only one that isn’t.

As a boy, 7 years old, my father took both my bigger sister and myself to explain the MS-DOS commands he knew. But does reading the 500-pages book on GW-BASIC by myself to understand how it works, even though I was French and 7yo and I had zero knowledge of English, sound like good gatekeeping to you? But my sister was then invited to various activities in school, including the school programming club if she wanted, but she chose the football club (and this was in the 1990ies). I wasn’t.

So I stuck with programming. No gatekeeping, no social inclusion, just RTFM until you understand the commands.

In the UK ever less is expected of the government. I keep reading "I don't expect a state pension" on the Internet.

We just expect to be screwed by our government now and it seems like defeat. :(

That is exactly what I said or are we not understanding each other? Your pension comes from the taxes on your salary.

The existence of private pensions doesn't deny my point. I thought it would be irrelevant to mention them as they exist everywhere.

Inflation is what, 2%? And the velocity of money is around 1. It is hardly speculation to say that the typical doesn't-save consumer hasn't got 25% more money in their account. Someone does.

If you're talking about the "M1 can _only_ be held..." comment, rojeee is wrong. M1 includes physical currency [0], so entities other than commercial banks can hold it. If I substitute M2 for M1 the point is still indecipherable. Eg - "the increase in M1 has little to no impact on the aggregate money supply" - as far as I'm concerned the M2 is the monetary supply so that makes no sense.

> The burden of proof is on you.

M2 went up 25%, Pidgeonhole principle: someone's account is up 25%. Inflation went up 2%: it isn't ordinary consumers. QED.

Wars are scary regardless of who makes the decisions, but I think that the situation where the army obeys civilians is, in general, much better than the one where the military decides whether it wants to go to (or continue) a war or not.

For example, it seems that the civilian elite of Germany and Austria-Hungary was ambivalent about war in early 1918, especially in A-H, and willing to entertain possible ceasefire with subsequent negotiations; but serious peace negotiations were not possible anymore, because the de facto power shifted to general Ludendorff and other high officers, who were determined to go on.
That's correct, I definitely mixed up things.
The amount sold on these markets is tiny, however they are one of the safest ways to purchase drugs - with reviews, reputation, tests etc. Constantly interfering with the safest ways to buy drugs so people have to instead buy it from a random person in the real world with less guarantees, and more danger to everyone or from an online scammer that just popped up is not good at all.

Further, the costs of these LE operations is very high to catch some small fries. These are extremely counterproductive.

> rather the minimum they feel they can get away with.

I completely agree.

I certainly would accept more pay. But I wouldn't switch jobs just to get it. There are several reasons, most importantly that interesting jobs in my niche are scarce. So my employer has a resource that is perhaps scarcer than myself!. Second (and this is the part where it becomes self-fulfilling), because there are no super high salaries, I'm close to a kind of ceiling. I'm not sure what that ceiling is and you could always be lucky and find some extremely well paying job, but let's say that for a job I'd be willing to do, the ceiling is within 50% more than I'm currently making.

If marginal taxes are 50% (at least), then that's a net 25% pay rise. It's basically $1500 more a month net, and it would require me to make probably several job switches. It's certainly not insignificant, but it's just not significant enough. Had there been jobs across the street paying 3x what I do, then certainly I'd start chasing more money. But I value my 6-8w holidays, I can already afford to travel etc. I'm comfortable.
So does that mean if I am hosting a dinner at my home on my own private property and someone starts spewing hate at people I have to let him because it's his free speech? No, I'm kicking that asshole off my property and banning him from returning.

It's the same for these tech companies. They are private companies and if you break their ToS for inciting violence or posting illegal shit then they have the right to ban you. You have freedom of speech, not freedom of consequences.

Well, putting out a tl;dr and then a graph that does not mention FP16/FP32 performance differences or anything related to TensorRT cannot be taken seriously if we talk about performance per watt.

This argument is a fallacy. There's plenty of stuff stopping me from being a successful hunter-gatherer:

1. HGs are very skilled, and they build their skills throughout their lives - crucially, starting with childhood and adolescence. I, an adult brought up in a Western civilization, would be totally clueless in a rain forest the same way that those HGs would be totally clueless in our world.

2. HGs live in groups. I would need to find a group of HGs that would accept me, which is highly unlikely because of the language and culture barrier, plus my lack of skills - why would they want to have anything to do with an useless guy in the first place? My CV full of accomplishments does not impress them at all.

I think the economic tradeoffs in buying a house are pretty country specific. For example, renters in Germany have very strong legal protection. It is very difficult for your landlord to kick you out, or raise the rent dramatically. I could certainly afford to buy the flat I live in, but I prefer to have the money invested in the stock market instead, and have someone to call (who also pays for) any problems. I also lived in rented apartments in France and UK, and it felt significantly different: Limited-term contracts, poor maintenance, (poorly) furnished - I would not want to live that way forever (of course, I choose these contracts because I only intended to stay for a limited time).

In a manner of speaking, this rings hollow to my ears - a sort of platitude. I would make a counter example with depression drugs. A former colleague, lives in NY amd has his wife and daughter on anti-depressants. Upon inquiry on why they were drugged up, his response was both spine chilling and grotesque.

"They've been feeling a bit down lately. "

A medical professional saw fit to prescribe an otherwise healthy 12yr old and a healthy 34yr old anti-depressants because those drugs are legal. That was eye opening. The medical establishment is using their trust to peddle these drugs
