Genuinely curious as to what led you into thinking that.
> Basically a startup I worked for 12 years ago were fucking me big time on compensation so I purposefully argued against encrypting the database knowing how shoddy their security was. I didn't allow ANYONE to secure the backend. 4 years later, their database gets leaked and they get "acquired" for an "undisclosed amount" which usually means they sold themselves at a huge discount pending lawsuits.

I don't know, the act of confessing that it was done in bad faith?

I have kept myself up late at night and in the early hours of the morning hoping that I made the right decisions in trade offs to protect my users, their data, and the company I worked for. I've worked for some companies that treated me pretty shitty. I've experienced racism, gas lighting, overworking, and being underpaid in my career. Never once did it occur to me to turn that hurt and frustration on the company or my users.

This is possibly one of the strongest possible cases I have seen to professionalize software engineering. Holy smokes.

Agreed - a lot of the parts of his story I thought "OK, that sounds extremely rare, but possible", but the working "20-30 hours a week" bit? Where the hell is that? Do people at FAANGs honestly work 4-6 hours a day 5 days a week?
Sometimes I think Yang is too good for politics: he's smart (and surrounds himself with smart ideas) and from everything I've seen, a very genuine person.

That said the appeals of his campaign hinged on policies that worked nationally, while he's running locally. What resonated in Iowa then may not excite New Yorkers the same. Let's see how that goes.
Yea, spot on. Right now UI is ran locally and it reads the data from `.aim`.
We have seen users deploy it for the team and have seen standalone in the local environment too.
Once training is ran, the logs are saved in the `.aim`. We are using a format that is ~50% more memory efficient than the tb logs - and searchable (see the aimrecords repo).

Like lots of others, you lost me at the dating teenagers twist. As a 25-year resident of Japan, I can assure you that it is not true "nobody gives a damn" about older men dating high school girls. Like in other countries it is widely viewed as grotesque and despicable.
> Fog lights for example.

I've never driven a Tesla or another car with a touchscreen. I almost never need fog lights, so I wouldn't even know which knob to turn which way in my new car. Doesn't help that it's different for every car manufacturer. I'd actually prefer a touchscreen with big, properly labeled buttons for this.

I don't believe I've seen the characterization of Trump's rallies as, specifically "dangerous white supremacist meetings". I have seen the characterzation of many of trump's followers as white supremacists though.

Can you cite an example (and preferably multiple, since you said "they") of the former, that his rallies are "dangerous white supremacist meetings", and not simply the latter?

If not, I think it's you who is engaging in hyperbole.

(I'll also note the difference in tone between Trump's address today from the Oval Office and his prior statements. Today, for the first time, he didn't speak out of both sides of his mouth when discussing violence from his supporters. He unequivocally denounced violence. The difference between "Stand back and stand by" and "Violence and vandalism have no place in our country and no place in our movement...no true supporter of mine could ever endorse political violence" is obvious. If his statements had been, from the beginning, that clear and unequivocal he would have faced far less criticism. I mean he clearly would have faced some, Biden faced criticism for repeated unequivocal denouncement of violence[0], from people to his right and left. I expect trump would have faced the same. But we probably wouldn't have had last Wednesday, and Trump probably wouldn't be facing down a second impeachment, nor enough upset Republican Senators that he might actually get convicted).

I'd answer questions but I'm not sure where to start.

I think we're pretty well aware of the pros and cons of all the options and between the team members designing this we have pretty good experience with all of them. But it's entirely possible we didn't communicate the design constraints well enough. (More: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=25769320)

Judging from the M1, it seems the most important thing the big fat decoder costs you is not being able to manufacture billions of processors for small devices (where the decoder would be a much larger fraction of the CPU), develop experience and optimizations and capital based on that, and then have those benefits carry over to your high-end processors.
Java just prints “null” IIRC. To be fair, the “(null)” you’ll usually get from passing a null pointer to printf is implementation defined (really, undefined, but no implementation I’ve seen has done bad things with it).

Sure but in regards to remote viewing it is in fact a real thing, so there's a degree to which the existence of disinformation is not a confirmation of nonexistence of some underlying reality.

Btw, i think you may have meant to put credible in quotes, otherwise it's an oxymoron... as, in "Credible ufos are actually psyops."

I'm confident a lot of information is disinformation I think that your hypothesis that most or all is is probably false and maybe you can see they too if you examine the range of documents in the CIA FOIA reading room, the testimony of people, the work required to create all of these different documents in different formats with all of this different information about people's names and departments from the correct historical time period the correspond to you know correct historical designations and departments, it just seems way too much work for it to make sense. What are they getting from this? I think you need a credible explanation of the payoff to justify such an enormous investment of manpower and time.

From another view, if you have the standard where way you claim that the ROI of remote viewing programs was so low there was no point to them (when in fact there's declassified documentation of them being a reliable intelligence source commensurate with other sources, as well as it easily observable reality of various subreddits dedicated to people practicing this and getting results) then it seems doubly true that you know the return on investment of such a massive disinfo program, where there is no documentation of payoff and there's no obvious payoff, is unimaginably low.

it's basically a sort of insane elaboration that doesn't pass the Occam's razor test the simplest explanation is that these are simply reports of real things that happened. so definitely there will be disinformation because that makes sense from a narrative management point of view but I think it's becoming crazier and crazier to deny the simple and obvious explanation that all of this documentation describes something real.

However....One thing I do wonder about though, and I think is a bit odd is why is all of this so-called UFO and disclosure information promoted by mostly white American men. Where are the women where are the black people (besides Billy Carson) where are the Asian people where are the Chinese coming out with their disclosure information...that seems weird to me but I think if you wanted a credible program you would probably you know enlist people from other countries just like you know regular you know counterintelligence disinformation campaigns do. So it's weird to me that it's so heterogeneous. if there is a secret space program where are all the female whistleblowers coming forward.
How do you learn if you don't have to maintain what you wrote after two years...? Also, creating connections and really understanding a company/business is really fun IMO.
An idea: much of the time the way dark net vendors are taken down involve the IRS. Did you know that you can legally report illicit income, legally, with ostensibly no negative consequence?

Using Micro$oft at any point in your discussion is a great way to get people to not hear what you have to say.
Where does that amount come from? The article mentions 4,650 BTC and during that time the price mostly hovered around $10k. That's $85k a day in transactions and 584 transactions a day. I suspect about the same as my local supermarket.
Nothing wrong with having that opinion. You might consider that not all humans have equal capacity for free will, and not all humans are equally able to resist addictive substances. And that someday you may be responsible for, or even love someone who is unable to help themselves. And you can still hold the idea there are no victims. Or, not. Just sayin' you might find things are more complicated IRL.
Looks like the FBI and DEA were involved as well as several other country's police agencies, with Europol acting as coordinator. Lots of money moving across countries means lots of taxes probably not being paid, hence the IRS.

I never use my eyes to find a dash button when driving. This seems like a ridiculous strawman set up to defend touch screens. The only buttons I look at to use are the clock adjust buttons, because they are tiny and flush with the dash, but using those only when parked is easy to do.
Sensible spec. The price isn’t outlandish for what is basically a desktop with a relatively exotic CPU. 16GB ram is minimum for development in my view even though you can do a lot in 8GB.

I'm sure people would start comparing it pricewise to a i7 or something made at significant economies of scale. I think that is an unfair comparison due to the exotic CPU. Exotic in the sense that these aren't commodity CPUs.
Hi. Thanks for your work. How can I leave UX feedback? Because honestly, it's pretty bad.

My first thought was he/she cultivated marijuana.
I was curious, so I tested that[0], and 3 of the 4 major compilers (clang, gcc, and ICC) all output `(nil)` for a `%p` on a null pointer, but `(null)` for a `%s`. Godbolt doesn't support executing MSVC for some reason.

However, it is my understanding that passing a non-null pointer to printf for `%s` is undefined behavior.

We are building Aim as a new paradigm for interacting with and organizing the ML training runs. And the project is really just a few months old.

It's focused on comparing 1000s of experiments really effectively in minutes. MLFlow, Tensorboard don't have these capabilities which has motivated us to work on Aim.
Especially valuable when running hyperparam sensitive tasks such as RL.
> If I really believe in stoicism, shouldn't I just take drugs that make me feel happy/satisfied/virtuous?

Not as far as I understand it. Virtue is fairly objective, and doing that for your own sake wouldn't be virtuous. Classical stoics believe humans are a social animal, and truly virtuous behaviour is pro-social.

> The stoics say that you should care about whether you acted virtuously rather than whether your actions lead to a good outcome

I'm not sure I understand this, but I doubt that's your fault. All I can think is that if your actions lead to a bad outcome, ultimately you didn't act virtuously - even if the intent was there. There's a sort of tricky spot in the philosophy which I don't fully understand yet though. Take Cato the Younger for example. His virtue and integrity stats were so buffed that he brought ruin to himself and those close to him, and history seems a little torn about it. Was it virtuous to stick to his guns and end up dead, or was that actually foolish and ultimately not virtuous because it served no one around him? I don't fully understand the classic or modern stoic take on this kind of situation.

However I do think in most cases that if your actions have bad (bad as in Stoic Objective Bad) outcomes then you didn't act virtuously. I suppose if it couldn't have been anticipated, then maybe you did.

> solipsism-lite

Interesting - my take is the complete opposite. I see it as though Stoicism describes the ideal human as quite selfless and pro-social.

> I think it's ok, even good, to actually care about real-world outcomes sometimes.

I believe this is actually all that matters in stoicism, since real-world outcomes are all that matter to the people around you. I could be wrong - I've just read a couple translated books and listened to some podcasts at this point.
lol. It doesn't matter much if you're not the one in the lower bracket.
I don't want to restrict the freedom of the 99% to prevent the 1% from abusing drugs and ruining their lives, which under prohibition, they have been able to do anyway. Legalization (or at least decriminalization) would be a net-benefit to the group of people that cannot control their impulses.

I'm sorry you know people who have problems with drugs, but drugs clearly won despite their illegality.

> At one point saying “We shouldn’t own slaves”, or “the Indian has rights to the land they live on”, or “women should be allowed to vote”, or “no taxation without representation” were all insurrectionist comments.

Uh, I don't know what you think "insurrectionist" means, but those are definitely not what it means. Actually, one of those comments was actually the law of the land at the time, as adjudicated by the Supreme Court--it was merely a popular politician who said that the Supreme Court had no actual power to enforce its will against him and did it anyways.

In the interest of pedantry, it's worth pointing out that the anti-slavery comments weren't the ones made by the insurrectionists, and even in the states that seceded, the unwillingness of Northerners to uphold the Fugitive Slave Act was arguably the more pressing threat, since it is highly unlikely that the federal government would have been enable to effect mandatory abolition on unwilling states but removing any codes enforcing the return of runaway slaves would have been well within its remit. That said, there was one notable abolitionist who provides half the cases in US history of people tried for treason against an individual state.
This was exactly my take away from the heat map. If that's all the GPS coords from video taken on Parler that day than it looks to be exclusively used by those supporting/participating/sharing the riot on the US Capital.

I considered moving to France for a few years (from the US), but I was shocked to find it would be a 40% pay cut, even after factoring in all of the healthcare and other expenses we Americans enjoy. And the cost of living is a fair bit higher in France to boot.

Now that companies are cozying up to remote work, I think I’ll jist do more frequent 3 month trips and work in the evenings when I run out of vacation days. Then I can keep my cushy American salary and afford to travel, avoid dealing with VISAs, and France get my cost of living / tourism money without me taking a Frenchman’s job. Seems like a better arrangement all around.

> In every single example, the jQuery version is basically one or two lines of code, versus 10-15 lines for the alternative.

"Every single example?" Are we reading the same page? I was fairly surprised to find that 75% of the alternatives are literally one-liners. There are a handful that swell up to 10-15 lines of code, but I would say it's a very small portion, far from "every single example."
Holy shit, that's mind-blowing. as a humorous aside I'm sure that sort of total information control program (but run by a terrestrial government siding another territory) has been specked up in some elaborate document in a think tank or intelligence agency somewhere, as an alternative to "world of atoms" occupation.
This resonates with me too - anywhere it would be comfortable to work with my laptop is going to have somewhere to plug it in to charge.
There is a sense in which a non-trivial chunk of those productivity gains are eaten up by rent-seeking (in SF/NY, the high rents are literally rent-seeking in that they're the result of deliberate manipulation of local laws & regulations around housing & zoning for the benefit of existing homeowners). Even there, though, a single person can live quite nicely on 100k USD (or 120k USD, if going from 100k Euro), if they're ok with roommates. On 50-60k USD, yeah, that'd be trickier, though honestly it's manageable if you skip the top 5. You can have a very reasonable quality of life in, say, Los Angeles (as a healthy young person without dependents, yes) with that income.
Oh wow. This hits it on the nail. Some of the teachers who understood how to teach me were male. Only one woman knew how to teach me. In India, school teachers are almost always women. I turned to programming as soon as I got a computer. I also read a lot of escapist fiction. Fiction that wasn't based in India or in the real world. Tolkien, Eddings, Robert Jordan, Terry Brook, Agatha Christie (I know but her books weren't based in our time so I seemed to see it as escapism).

Thanks for making the effort to point this out. Do you have any reading material on the topic?
Not any other, but you should only deal in Bitcoin of all cryptocurrencies based on the same proof-of-work algorithm (mostly smaller Bitcoin forks), because Bitcoin miners, having a majority of hashrate, can perform 50%+1 attacks on other currencies using the same algorithm.

The same applies to each other proof-of-work algorithm individually like Ethash (Ethereum), Equihash (ZCash), etc.

rms' entire problem is that he fails to understand there is more than one way to advocate user freedom.

My viewpoint, which is also the viewpoint of pretty much everyone in that thread, is that the best way is to write the best possible software possible. Same goals, just different methods. But there isn't even a discussion about that here, it's just a hard shutdown of these type of arguments from rms.

Is it any surprise that almost any project rms has any technical influence on has been in decline?

We are working on a new paradigm on interacting with Ml training runs. A lot of the effort is now focused on very efficient experiment comparison capabilities - talking about 1000s of them. Lots of challenges on the UI and the backend. When loading TB or any other tool really with lots of experiments it's super slow and becomes useless.
Also no way to do effective comparison of runs by hyperparams or other metadata on the tensorboard or MLFlow. Quite basic capabilities.
