... Except eBay also disallowed sales of said books.

I'm not saying that the current owners of the rights to the books caused eBay to do so. That eBay "voluntarily" did this makes the situation worse, not better.
Hi, I would really like to know more about this guy and his program, and maybe get in touch. My contacts are in my profile.
This gap in data is a bugbear for cycling/walking advocates such as myself who feel that non-vehicles do an unseen and unfair portion of the work of preventing crashes which might otherwise involve them. That they basically paper over a myriad of bad driver behaviours and ghastly infrastructure designs by always being on high alert and generally getting really good at "jumping out of the way." You can partly tell how effective this system is because when there are pedestrians killed, commentators express regret that the victim didn't just jump out of the way like a normal pedestrian, or imply that it was their fault for other reasons such as wearing the wrong clothing, looking at their device, or choosing an inappropriate time of day to go for a walk. All of this leads to attitude among drivers and politicians that current solutions are fine because the only numbers they have are literally deaths.

Anyway, one would think with SDVs that there'd be an explosion in data for this kind of thing, since the cars will witness and participate in many more close calls than could ever be reported or tracked by anyone, much less the police. I wonder how much Google is able to process their car data for these kinds of things? Potentially it could be a huge aid, not even just for law enforcement, but also for urban planners looking for the close call hotspots.
What does that mean exactly? Isn't publishing the same as broadcasting? Maybe a little bit of an example on the home page would help.
This was my experience at a tech company in the Silicon Valley about 15 years ago. Women who applied were put at the top of the stack and guaranteed an in-person interview, over all other candidates. Even if they absolutely bombed the phone screening. We did end up having one potential candidate, but she was making a huge amount at her previous job and would not 'settle' for what was our sysadmin pay scale at the time. (I can't remember the exact numbers, but she was demanding at least 50% more than the top end of our pay scale.)
There’s a literary organization/movement called Oulipo[1] that similarly works with patterns and algorithms to creatively restrict or generate writing.

Patterson and Hennessy were in competition with each other, at different universities. It's only much later they wrote text books together.

Patterson says RISC-V is derived from RISC-I and RISC-II. I think this doesn't really old water -- at least no more so than any other RISC.

RISC-I and RISC-II had condition codes and register windows, like SPARC. RISC-V doesn't have either, like MIPS. The RISC-V assembly language is also very similar to MIPS.

RISC-II had both 16 and 32 bit opcodes (as did IBM 801, and Cray designs) and RISC-V has inherited this (but also following the great success of ARM Thumb2).

You can run android apps on it with Anbox. And while it's slow, it only costs a mere $150
That's great, I didn't know about the Enterprise version. I'll look closer at this and see if it fits our use cases. (fyi, the more docs we can read [esp. operational docs, but also technical], the more likely we are to push for adopting this in our enterprise)

Here's some of the things a typical IT CM process handles: How do you properly surface and acknowledge the risk & impact of a change? What are the order of operations & how do you track them? How do you validate an operation? Roll back? Are there governance structures in place (X team can run Y task in Z environment)? With multiple stakeholders, how do you get approval from everyone, or handle change overrides? How do you run 'almost' the same thing in different environments? Do you use multiple communication/coordination methods, like e-mail, MS Teams, Slack w/multiple workspaces/orgs, Zoom, Jira, ServiceNow, etc? Is there a "change plan" which is drafted, edited, published, approved, and executed, in coordination with multiple teams?

All that may be overkill for your tool, but it's some of the stuff I would need to build around it to use it in my enterprise. Otherwise I (the ops guy) would need to build & run all those steps and coordinate with others when it's time for them to perform their steps (release, validation, debugging, rollback, etc).
Sure that could happen. But it doesn't have to. We already have a lot of public infrastructure: schools, roads, government buildings, parks, and so on. Some of those projects are managed well, and some aren't. Either way, we put up with it because on average the benefits of those things outweigh the costs. Public restrooms aren't fundamentally different from all the other forms of public infrastructure we already have.
time well spent then, sleep well
Yes it's encrypted, but the unit of encryption is individual values. If you multiply two arrays of values, they the computer/attacker can't tell exactly what each value is but could observe that, say, elements 7 and 12 are the same. Thus leaking some information about the data set.
I support tackling this problem with both your solutions. But I certainly wouldn't bet my money on yours.
Is there a reason why it is called a "Mathematical Algorithm Idea" instead of "Mathematical Algorithm"? The pedant wants to know if that's a specific classification of algorithms, and the gatekeeper in me wants to penalize grammar.

So funny that we all just blithely assume people of other cultures are insane idiots for not doing what we do.
This method converges unconditionally for any input with the required sparsity when using numerical representations with a fixed number of bits. No traditional sparse iterative solver has that property without further conditioning the matrix or increasing the run-time to handle the higher precision. As they lay out in the paper (third paragraph of introduction section on the preprint), for certain (rare in practice) matrices direct solvers still offered better runtime if convergence is demanded for all inputs with a certain sparsity.

This article (not the paper) definitely oversells the immediate practical applications; nobody is going to throw out their CG solver and pick this method up in practice to guarantee convergence in this manner.
Thanks for sticking with your point -- now I understand it a lot better.
Sounds like it could be a contributing factor to the fact that outside of game dev, there doesn’t seem to be any Japanese made software.
Homestly, this started going downhill with car or any technology advanced enough for documentation to split between user vs. Admin docs. Once manufacturers were offthe hook for being able to transition all relevant info with regards to operation, maintenance, and servicing along with the thing bbeing sold, it created the ignorance/info-asymmetry marketplace that entrenched engineered knowledge scarcity as a profitable business model.

They know this. They are just trying to fool the average person in to voting for a government which will increase immigration, remove employee protections and welfare.
I said if I ever run for public office in the US, one of the first items on my agenda would be public toilets. In most cities, there aren't even paid public toilets, one has to rely on the goodness (and business interest) of Starbucks and the like.

I think there are all sorts of downsides to not having public toilets besides the obvious of people using the street for a toilet. The stress people have by having to hold it in, the hesitation to drink too much water and therefore dehydration of people, etc.

I think government should cater to some of the most basic needs of humans and I believe a sanctioned and sanitary place to relieve oneself should be high on that list.
As others have mentioned, live coding an unfamiliar problem on a whiteboard in front of strangers with a job on the line is very different from the typical day to day interactions in most dev jobs. The social skills needed for a sales engineer are different than those needed for a developer.

I would say that being able to understand other people's perspective is more important than comfort in high stress situations with strangers. So if someone didn't have anxiety himself, I would expect him to be able to understand how it affects others when it is explained to him. If he refuses to listen and insists it just lack of social skills on the part of those with anxiety, I would conclude he lacks the social skills necessary to work with a diverse group of people.

How do you explain Asians making up almost half of FAANG startups?
It does, but the problem this algorithm handles is dealing with demanding convergence for all input matrices without adding an additional “n” factor to handle increased precision. Meanwhile deep learning is moving in the direction of 16-bit floating point and 8-bit integer scalars.
Many public toilets in the US close at night, especially in big cities.
boo hoo, let's hear more about your pity party
First of all, you're mixing up opinions and actions. Two completely different things.

Second, I think of tolerance as a personal thing. But on a level of society or government, that you're talking about - I don't know, you tell me.

Let me ask you, do you tolerate sexist jokes? Because I really doubt many of the today's proponents of this theory do. Sexist jokes are not intolerant, making them is not an attempt to overthrow any kind of system, it's just jokes. But yet, a lot of people do not tolerate them. Either don't want to be in the same room as the person who makes them or will even try to harm this person in some way. Both fit the definition of intolerance. Former is completely fine, latter probably not so much.

But as I understand it, it's not so much about petty things like this, but about intolerant ideologies. Well, communism happens to be one of those ideologies. It does not tolerate anyone who owns or argues for private ownership and seeks to overthrow any system that protects it. And if we were honest, that would mean that we should also get rid of a large part of Antifa (ironically a manifestation of this theory), because many of them self-identify as communists or subscribe to ideologies derived from it.

> Where do laws fit in here?

Speech laws, freedom of association. Criminal law in case a real harm was done. The word "tolerance" should not appear anywhere in the law.
Note that Roger A. Pielke Jr. is a political science professor not an atmospheric scientist and has, in the past, been involved in a number of climate science controversies.

Neither of those things need to be "done by the government". Unionization covers "protection of the job", and mutual aid covers "social protection".

Though yes, if the state is to exist, the least it should be doing is providing for its people - in my opinion via UBI + single-payer healthcare at minimum.
The Gulag Archipelago is one of those pieces I wish everyone would read. These days the lessons of socialism and communism are lost on a younger generation that seems blind to what Marxism led to, and how much suffering and death it caused.
The ideologies behind these government systems require authoritarianism, from the state and the mob. It requires a single ideology to win with everything else stamped out, and this is explicitly mentioned in foundational Marxist works. Ultimately that adherence to a singular ideology, with aggressive suppression of all others, leads to every subsequent horror.

Why do you single out poverty and bias in minority groups? What about say, Appalachia? You think the white people living there were born with a silver spoon in their mouth?

Why someone is poor today shouldn’t be rated. It’s not a suffering rating contest. You could be denied a job 50 years ago because of your skin, your accent, etc.

It’s far better to just look at where someone is financially and use to determine if they need help. It also prevents divides from popping up. A very good way to get people angry is to tell someone who needs help they are privileged and should shut up because they are either white, male, straight, don’t look poor, etc.

Here's the semi-annual reminder to everyone that you are probably following too closely, and this is exactly why you shouldn't.

The rule of thumb is that you want 3-4 seconds between cars, which at highway speeds is 80-100 meters or yards.

Yes, almost no one leaves that much room. That's part of why so many accidents happen. It's easy for you to do better.
> This seems a not too uncommon experience among CS people where machine learning loses its interest once they understand the magic

Maybe. I went into my program with no preconceived ideas that there was 'magic' happening here. What I got out of it was a real curiosity about how humans think and how that may not be a magical as we think either.

Long-term I cannot see AI being anything but the paradigm-smashing artifact it's sold as. But progress is (relatively) slow on a human scale, so we find incremental progress ultimately lackluster.

If you take it through that lens it becomes more reasonable and you find yourself less skeptical that, just as we have no flying cars, we have no AGI or that all work has been replaced.
Γιουβεντους vs. Πορτο, ανατροπή πρόκρισης στο Τορίνο
Οι πρωταθλητές της Ιταλίας και της Πορτογαλίας συνεχίζουν τη μάχη τους για την προημιτελική θέση του Champions League την Τρίτη το βράδυ, καθώς η Γιουβέντους φιλοξενεί την Πόρτο που έχει προβάδισμα από το πρώτο σκέλος στο Οπόρτο. Η Γιουβέντους πρέπει να ανατρέψει το σκορ του πρώτου ματς για δεύτερη συνεχόμενη χρονιά, προσπαθώντας παράλληλα να ξεπεράσει τα προβλήματα τραυματισμών και την ασυνεπή της φόρμα για να αποκλείσει τους ταλαντούχους παίκτες την Πόρτο. Ας δούμε κατευθείαν τα σημερινά Γιουβεντους – Πορτο προγνωστικα στοιχημα.

Solving the automated driving problem will require these systems to behave in ways that regular human drivers consider acceptable - at least for a transition period of time where both live on the road together. Sudden hard breaking in situations that humans see absolutely no need for it is an unacceptable behavior for human drivers to have. Just because it's not your fault doesn't mean you can't do things to prevent it. I have prevented many crashes throughout my life due to my mitigations around others' driving mistakes. We should expect self driving cars to do this at least as well as - not worse than - humans.
I think the mindset of those people who make such arguments are those who want to delegate individual responsibilities that involve such risks to other parties. They might not understand the risk involved when such parties get big enough to dominate and decide what to do and how to do it.

Usually, we commonly agree by coming to consensus on what to do and not to. But here the consensus, sometimes, can get hijacked by the third parties which lot of people don't understand how it happens (read historical events). 2008 banks bailouts is a good example to begin with.

As Satoshi mentioned, in the OG Bitcoin paper, that cryptocurrencies will be attractive to Libertarians.
That's a fair assumption as one would start to notice a lot of activities involved in being part of cryptocurrency, atleast currently, requires lot of individual responsibilities, especially maintaining the wallet's credentials. Not to say that they can't be automated away.

Coming to terms with taking individual responsibilities in general is very hard. Most people want others (Government) to do it.

>aimed at commodity phd students in regular universities

Woof.
The point is rather that determining “objective abuse” is entirely tangential. No way to determine if my story (or any others) is true.

But in academia it can be true, and when it is true, there is nothing that can be done. To a further extent than industrial roles. Granted some jobs have the same problems, and I’ve felt much more powerless within corporate structures than any military one.

Determining objective abuses is for determining objective guilt - not for nudging the system. You can’t possibly believe that all claims of abuse are the imagined fictions of so many students in some sort of shared state of madness. Perhaps some, but that many? It’s ridiculous.

I like your approach. Seems to solve the async time commitment problem. Also the candidate doesn't have to do the takehome if it seems like an obvious mismatch when they come in and meet the team.
Fair enough as like you say it's all a scale anyway. For the record I never left at exactly five or started at 9 for that matter back in Germany and I don't either where I am now (Canada).

I never felt bad about leaving at 3 in Germany though. I did/do in Canada. _Every_time_.
Some people will tell you that the Pinephone is daily-driver ready. They're right, but only in the sense that using a feature phone is daily-driver ready. It's only feasible if your lifestyle permits it, if you're willing to go without sometimes, if leading by example, and voting with not just your wallet, but whatever you value (be it time, money, or uncertainty) is a deal you're happy to make.

I love my Pinephone. It is undoubtedly my own, with no strings or trillion-dollar corporation helping steer. It's lots of fun to play with, but unless people already half-jokingly compare you to RMS due to your extremism, it's not ready.

Android circa 2009 would be a reasonable comparison: the potential is clear, the software is rapidly evolving, and there's a benevolent dictator at the helm. And that's enough for me to be happy with it :)
