To tell you the truth, I don’t really care about 0 or 1 based indexing, there’s not much difference when I’m coding.

At the same time if you look at TIOBE, 0 based indexing won.

The biggest problem for me was porting numerical code from Ruby: the syntax is so similar to Julia, that I didn’t have much to do, but porting 0 based code to 1 based was the biggest work actually.

I’m sure it’s painful to port code from R or Marlab if it’s 0 based, but that will need to happen anyways.

>I think a less radical solution would be a bit more of "socialism" in the good sense (social protection, protection of the job etc.).

That's not what socialism is. Socialism isn't stuff you like done by the government.
> The beauty of this approach is that you don't lower your hiring bar.

You don't lower the bar but you do put a locking mechanism on your recruiting pipeline that reduces your hiring throughout in an already supply constrained environment and you impose greater hiring costs to make sure you always have a candidate.

Now that may still be a profitable thing to do, but you can pretend there are no costs and downsides. What you need to do it look at all the pros and cons and balance those considerations to find out what is most profitable. Anything that isn't profit maximizing over the time scale we are optimizing for is also to the detriment of the company.

A loophole is just a more judgemental way of describing something you're allowed to do. Most discussion around the topic of tax loopholes revolves around entirely legal deductions. When you call something a loophole, all you're saying is "you're allowed to do this, but I personally thing that you should not be allowed to do this". Our tax system is a complicated, inscrutable mess because it was designed that way, not because it needs to be that way. You and I likely take advantage of many deduction "loopholes" that were created because creating a new deduction is less politically controversial than creating a tax cut.

What an absurd article. First, it offers no evidence that the search results influence society. I mean, does anyone look to Google image search to tell them how to perceive women? Do Google image search results influence perceptions at all? Maybe, but the article fails to make that point at all, other than in the title where it claims the results “cement” perception.

Second, "If an algorithm is not doing anything to compensate for this, then it'll be mostly racist, sexist, patriarchal.” That is, if an algorithm is purely a mirror reflecting a racist, sexist, patriarchal society, the algorithm is racist, sexist, and patriarchal. I contend that “if you’re not with us you’re against us” narrative is dangerous. Political winds can shift quickly. Arguing that neutrality is complicity will backfire as soon as the winds shift against you.

Must have. It was a new version of an old driver. The old driver was 9 modules. The new one - 900. Every tiny little thing was another module. It conversed in 802.11 and ethernet etc, so of course it had three (3) copies of non-compatible packet layout declarations, each comprising dozens of modules. And on and on.

South Australia pricing suffers from a failure of deregulation, not renewable power. The gas/wind/solar mix for generation is fine for a state with a very small population and abundant wind, sun and natural gas. SA has very poor deposits of brown coal which were not sustainable and the country lacks any nuclear power expertise. The state privatised their grid and it is now controlled by foreign owners. Many believe the pricing is the result of gold plating. Generation costs have fallen in recent years and wholesale prices are competitive with the other states.

Or simply the different intent of foreigners vs locals. If you search for "mujeres americanas" you're probably not interested in politicians or women in culture and media- you want to see the stereotypical "american woman". If you're based in the US and search for "american women" though you know the stereotype enough and you're most probably looking for different.

When you're working in a startup with 5 people and you're not in sync with their personalities, it can be a major drag on everyone.

Having had to see people let go in startups for simply not fitting in, this has nothing to do with you being a woman and to frame it that way reduces the effectiveness of your overall narrative.
> but the concept is that RDP is aware of things like text, buttons, title bars, etc

The fun bit, at least as I understand it, with the move to more and more Electron based apps, this is somewhat moot since those apps draw their own thing. There are still performance improvements RDP brings over a simple "blit everything" protocol, but they're smaller and smaller.

My biggest complaint with RDP in general is how many Windows apps react poorly to changing resolutions and DPI. I'm practically an expert now in rescuing windows that have decided "I was over at here on the right side of your ultra-wide monitor, so I'm still over here in this no man's land on this tiny RDP resolution."

This is playing with words. HR at any company never made a profit. Doesn't mean recruiters are an uncertain business.

I do think looking at pizza delivery is interesting. And I also think Dominos is interesting, although they are becoming a little cult like.

Pizza is delivered because the food fits with delivery. It would be interesting to look to see if Domino's or pizza in general has changed to make it better for delivery.

I realise I am not explaining my self particularly well, but I don't think it is fair to call it the same assumption.

Assuming that we want to maximise growth over whatever our horizon is (be it one period, multiple periods, or an infinity of periods) is not much of an assumption - what other realistic goal would there be?

Your earlier point that EUT can be applied in other situations still holds, but I think that is a consequence of the fact that it is so flexible that it can be fit to all manner of situations.

With EE you recover different behaviours depending on the structure of the problem, both the reward structure and the temporal structure (e.g. number of periods), whereas with EUT you have to inject different utility functions to recover the desired behaviours for any given problem - they don't just fall out of the structure.

What is the EUT answer to the problem I posed in the previous comment - consider the same equation 2 bet we have been discussing, but in both the iterated case and the single-period case. Is there a utility function that correctly solves both cases?

Just the opposite, if what you were saying were even remotely true, we wouldn't attach names to anything, including scientific papers.

To suggest that people should hide behind pen-names to discuss the most important ideas of any given era is to accept and promote the vicious kind of black listing that is apparently happening all to frequently.

Names also provided a basis for reputation, we don't just publish any old bloggers words, that's not enough filter. Bloggers can blog, other institutions can publish.

> fundamentally it doesn't seem that insightful that by choosing different scoring functions, and taking expectations over distributions of scores, we can recover all kinds of behaviours that might be of interest

Well, expected utility theory has been a great success and it’s used all the time to produce useful results in many fields. And the idea of optimizing growth is not new, it has been used within the expected utility framework since the fifties.

If you find the EE derivations interesting it’s fine. But don’t think it proves that EUT is wrong. And be aware that people use the same kind of analysis of the details of problems to select utility functions within the EUT framework.

EUT can be used for many things. It can be used to study empirically the behavior of people (who are not really “rational”).It can also be used to optimize industrial processes (according to a “rational” model). It can be used anywhere that there are decisions about uncertain outcomes which are more or less desirable.
I think more generally the issue is being swamped with unqualified talent, such that it's difficult to identify actual talent amongst the mess. A lot of people are not trying to be good at what they do, they're just trying to be paid for what they do.
Predisposition is unambiguous and well-defined. It means that a particular outcome is more likely. It says nothing about the cause or desire for it. You substituted the real meaning for your own agenda.
Now we must imagine what the impact on policies would be to prematurely say we managed to cut emissions more effectively than predicted.
Homomorphic encryption (HE) is NOT what people would understand as "on-chip cryptography", i.e., secure enclaves. HE is a form of encryption that allows arithmetic operations on encrypted numbers without any access to the decryption key. Secure enclaves on the other hand do decrypt data on-chip and are thus vulnerable to side channel attacks.

You can use HE to implement things like encrypted database lookups that don't reveal what is being queried (even to the database server) and the security of the encrypted query does not depend on any hardware properties of the server providing the service.
POSIX is mandated by government contracts - and so are many other things. If you’re selling into governments you need to be able to sign off that you comply with the appropriate standards (whatever the government wants - usually a standard written by the vendor they want to choose)..

"Okay, so that's like, a pizza, right?"

Which filter do you like most for general moderate exercise? I see that they sell several grades of filter based on air flow capacity.

> How will they even know what their business plan is

If you head into something like healthcare without any idea of what you need to do, you are begging for trouble. By the time you are buying any standards, you know which ones you need and how they fit in with everything else. Any real business plan will have researched this enough to get a ballpark. This is table stakes stuff.

You can research it all yourself in a few days and get a reasonable idea. If your team is all inexperienced you should probably spend a few consulting hours on guidance.

If you have anything like a real plan for a company, this is peanuts. If you don't, you do not need any of this stuff yet.

An electronic ambient / drone / noise soundtrack. All the tracks should be playable freely.

Mostly electronic with some diy shovel guitar samples and collected & recorded ambient noises.

Most tracks are melodic and somewhat calmly chill, however, Tracks 2 and 3 (and the bonus 30 minutes mix) are noisy. Give them a fast-forward at lower volume to insure you don't encounter noise level you would not be comfortable with.

I find experimenting with ambient music as well as digital drawing helps me reset.

If no, then no, it's not.

If yes, perhaps. Interview settings are still quite different than what they're going to face on-the-job, but you do have to infer from something, so I'm not sure there's any real alternative.
PRC hasn't blockaded Taiwan due to lack of capability until even 2010s. Taiwan military was credible threat against mainland due US weapons sales in 90s and PLA being broken legacy forces. Emphasis was on peaceful reunion as a matter of impotence and policy until "peaceful" was dropped last year. PLA has modernized sufficiently and developed enough industrial capacity that Taiwan can't deter PRC conventionally could going forward, so I expect increasing pressure.
Company (or team, or individual) A "the best" is perceived to not work hard. They are perceived to be underutilized. They miss out on so much potential revenue they don't make it to the next round.

Company B is obviously incompetent, and doesn't make it to the next round.

Meanwhile, company C, barely competent, is perceived to make best use of resources and remain fully utilized. They are received to work really hard. They get not just the initially agreed upon budget but a top off in addition. They have the most profit to compete in the next round.

If company (or individual A) makes it to the next iteration, they know how to manage expectations, stretch the budget, and make a theater of working hard.. thus turning into company C.

After enough iterations everyone kind of ends up like company C. Just good enough to complete the task with estimated level of effort some double digit percentage over the original estimate, but not incompetent enough to flop altogether. It is to this I attribute why software is usually behind schedule and over budget to a reliably predictable degree

Could you explain why "attribution is trivial"?
The Needless Complexity of Introductory Calculus
The market != The Economy. The market trades on multiples that represent asset prices in the future, and the stimulus was priced in months ago. The recent movement in the market was a reaction to the possibility that inflation shows up 6-12 months in the future, and the Fed doesn't raise rates. Subsequently high inflation will erode the value of bonds (Corporate debt). Who is holding them? Banks. If the banks fail lending tightens and the whole thing implodes. People can't get mortgages, corporations can't pay employees, home prices crash, etc.

It's possible something could set off the market today that accelerates the whole process, like the upcoming supplementary leverage ratio change. Or, the bubble could continue inflating until doesn't. But either way the whole thing is incredibly fragile and much more complicated than the "Stimulus is good for the economy" talk politicians are peddling.
That's a very well informative document!
