People don't obsess over ICE range because it is hard for the average person to get more than 20 miles from a gas pump which can then fill the car to full in 5 minutes. As such the only time you run out of fuel is when you don't refuel despite multiple opportunities.

Today if you buy an electric car you are mostly fine for in town - the 95% of trips. However that last 5% is a real problem: there are not many places to charge, not all of them actually work, and even if you find a place you need to wait a fairly long time someplace where you don't wish to be for it to recharge. Some of this will change as electric cars become more popular, but for now if you are looking at an electric car it either needs to be a second car (use the ICE for long trips), or you need to obsess about range.

For electric cars with the least range the average commute in the US couldn't make it there, eat lunch, and back home on a cold day.

It is on form 1040 this year, just under the address: https://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/f1040.pdf

The IRS's instructions state:

> Virtual currency is a digital representation of value, other than a representation of the U.S. dollar or a foreign currency (“real currency”), that functions as a unit of account, a store of value, or a medium of exchange. Some virtual currencies are convertible, which means that they have an equivalent value in real currency or act as a substitute for real currency. The IRS uses the term “virtual currency” to describe the various types of convertible virtual currency that are used as a medium of exchange, such as digital currency and cryptocurrency. Regardless of the label applied, if a particular asset has the characteristics of virtual currency, it will be treated as virtual currency for Federal income tax purposes.
And what does that have to do with the conversation we were having? He made it about race himself, and decided to take offense to something imaginary.
I grew up attending church weekly but never considering myself religious. As an adult I don't attend but it does leave a hole in my life. That hole is having forced social interactions with members of the community each week. Without church it's much harder to keep up with what everybody is doing, making connections, and networking.

It's very hard to organize and keep running secular social clubs. A lot of the infrastructure churches take for granted has to be managed manually and you're at the mercy of venue operators and have to do your own membership drives to get people to show up. It's a lot more work than most people expect.
Debit card fees are only pennies right now, basically free compared to credit cards, yet very few businesses offer a discount for debit cards.

The reason is that people are willing to spend more using credit cards such that it more than offsets credit card processing fees. And I assume businesses as big and low margin as Target and Walmart and grocery stores have the expertise to figure that out.

They are leveraging their massive reach to increase the value of private crypto holdings. This isn’t allowed for regular stocks and shares so crypto is an opportunity.
This is nice. It gave an insight about something similar that could be developed as an extension to WMSes (warehouse management systems) in use by Logistics Operators.

The product would work as a openly accessible integration layer to the WMS -- which is usually hard to integrate to any system. Customers or partners to this warehouse could use the SDK to develop integrations on their side to favor inter company workflows or even brand new products that would rely on that warehouse somehow. Business model could be similar to Bitnami's plus customer support plans.

To be clear, I don't ask them to write a linked list class. I would typically be asking them how they would implement a function that takes a linked list and has to do something with it.

A lot depends on who I'm interviewing and what I'm looking for for that role. I don't think there's a one size fits all interview question for programming jobs. In the above example I might only want them to explain how they would solve it to see their problem solving abilities. In other cases I might want to see some whiteboard quality code and we can segue into other topics like debugging or testing the code they wrote. Your example probably wouldn't be suitable for an entry level candidate who I would expect would need more guidance for things like class or interface design but I'd expect to be able to implement functions given an API.
As others have said. I edited the post for clarity.
One of the problems is the many shitty USB cables about in the wild. The screening on many of them is pathetically inadequate. Not only do these cables emit noise from the USB electronics but also the USB equipment to which they are connected becomes susceptible to noise from external sources.

On more than one occasion I've had external USB drives lose their MFT (Master File Table) data as a write update was corrupted by noise. Essentially, the external noise killed the data on the disk.

Often, when one pulls these USB cables apart one can see the shielding coverage is 30% or less.

Crypto currency, as far as I'm aware, is really a magic trick. It's gone and no one can help you.

( Just in case someone mentions bitcoin has transparent transactions. Please lookup bitcoin mixing services first)
Monero is > 1600 transactions per second and it's set to scale with CPU power and network bandwidth along with further improvements to the underlying implementation.

Proof of Stake is much greater still. Cardano and Polkadot for example.
Governments have as much control over tax codes as developers have over source code (literally — a tax code is just some written instructions, so it can be any computable function if you really want to do that). Governments can break entire sectors accidentally, doing so deliberately is trivial.

For example, they could make a special cryptocurrency tax which is 100%. And/or a heavy tax on all currency exchanges “expect for the national currencies of the nations in Annex D”, and Annex D turns out to be a list of countries that they have a specific trade agreement with.

In that quote, Wallace is just morphing, conflating, and fudging the definition of the word "worship". He says people "worship" (with a variety of subtly different meanings) a variety of things and then, implies that because we can use the same word, "worship", to describe those activities, they are equivalent. I despise this rhetorical technique. I find it both insulting, intellectually dishonest and useless.

I think many ML isn’t even engineering. Speeding up the implementation of an algorithm is, but the algorithms themselves mostly are of the “something like this seemed to work for problem P, so for problem Q, I tried this variation” type.

Yes, there may be solid math behind it that says “if your problem is of type T, this algorithm will get within Foo of the optimal solution in O(n log n) time”, but the problem is that nobody can tell whether a given real-world problem is of type T. Yet, people happily run the algorithm and if it works, it works.
Looking back, I think freshman me was perhaps a bit harsh in my assessment of my peers. Here are two excerpts, one my own writing and one from a peer. Rereading them, I am not sure GPT3 could recreate either of these, but you can judge:

Peer:
> The Gaza Conflict Gave Hamas what they needed to build an even deeper anti US narrative and anti-israeli narrative. The reasons that Israel was able to act the way it did so during these conflicts were:The civil war/Russian invasion of Ukraine, especially after the July 17 downing of Malaysian Airlines Flight 17; President Assad’s brutal tactics in the Syrian civil war, which seemed to be paying off at the time; and advance of the Islamic State in northwest Iraq and the horrific videos of their executions. As a way to show 0 tolerance for Islamic Radicalism President Obama and his administration gave Israel full support at the start of the Gaza operation.

Me:
> Eleven years later, peace in Israel and Palestine seems no closer. Despite being ousted by Fatah from the West Bank, continually targeted by economic sanctions, and subject to military action, Hamas seems no closer to disappearing than when it was first founded (Milton-Edwards 212) and continues to be a major political force, particularly in the Gaza strip. What has changed, however, is that Hamas has grown desperate. In “A rare opportunity to influence Hamas,” Daniel Nisman argues that the increased isolation experienced by Hamas due to the international community's pressure is in fact counterproductive.

> I wonder if some people need something to believe

I totally understand your point (and agree with the stated goal of a non-religious society with the "good bits" of religion baked in), but, the "some" in your sentence above ... there be really scary dragons.

Here's what I mean: would you say that "some" people deserve the right to vote while others don't?

The argument that "some" people need religion has the implication that they're too dumb to figure out a path for themselves without the help of a guiding book.

And that because of their limitations, the only way for them to "stick to the book" is to shrink-wrap the message into a fairy tale.

In other words, that'd be a world where one part of the population (those who don't "need" religion) brainwashes and manipulates the other part into "doing the right thing" (whatever "right" actually is).

You can see why this line of reasoning is a very slippery slope.

I spent the majority of my life programming. Commodore 64 back when I was a kid, then I left the computer for a couple of years and got back into it in my teens. After a couple of promotions, and some shift in focus, I found myself, at work, not programming at all. It wasn't a sudden change, it happened over a couple of years.
That's when I found that I need programming in my life for the sake of programming. I want to write code for the experience of writing code.

Today, I do write some code for work, but most of the code that I write, I write for entertainment—and for myself. Advent of Code makes December the best month of the year for me.

So, I agree with the sentiment of the article in general, but programming can also be valuable in itself.

I think you are missing the point that the other poster is attempting to argue. If you look at the recent revival and rejuvenation of alt-right and far right politics that has recently occurred in the US and actually look at their media what it is that they are saying? It isn't some racist screed it is things like complaining that college admissions are no longer fair for white or asian males. Immigration issues are often framed as being not about hate of a minority but about the potential loss of opportunities for white/asian men in society.

The main complaint that has driven this entire recent cycle of upswing in alt-right and far right movements is this preferential treatment and critiques of it. Young white men who complain about college admission inequality get sucked into a siphon of hatred at inequality and preferential treatment that ends in racism. So like the other person was trying to argue, "helping out is what perpetuates segregation". This inequality breeds statistically significant increases in racial hatred even if it has a good intent.
>> They need to earn their place because that is the only sure way they’ll keep it, and that is the only way others will respect them enough to treat them equally.

I mean, you went full on racist here. I imagine you weren't planning to, but just read that sentence back a few times.

It's like.....yeah we(as American society) treated you like shit, denied you every opportunity, and now the only way to make things right is for you to compete and prove that we can respect you and treat you equally.

Like, again, just read what you're even saying. It's far more scary than anything I've said.

> Progress in AI is not coming from abstract reasoning. It is coming from an increase in raw power, driven by GPUs, and mathematical models that are designed more to harness large numbers and brute force searches for formulas, rather than a high-minded algorithmic embodiment of abstraction.

The dead horse that I like to beat is that there has been no progress in AI so far, the past 5-10 years of successes are all about mere perception. If you like the Kahneman "fast and slow" framework, almost without exception the systems we're seeing today are fast, "system 1" responders, which take input and need to make an instant decision. That's freaking awesome, and was way out of reach even 15 years ago, so I'm throwing no shade at all on that achievement! It's astounding how much turns out to be possible in systems like this - a priori, I never would have thought that transformers could do as much as they've proven to be able to, because frankly the architecture is super limited and it's super unlikely that humans are able to extract anywhere near as much meaning from an instant, non-reflective pass over a paragraph of text as GPT-3 does.

But there's a lot about those systems that makes them much easier to design and train, not the least of which is that descent via backprop works great as a training strategy when the input and target output are available at the same time. Real "system 2" thought can be spread over minutes, hour, or days, and I don't care how far you unroll backprop-through-time, you're not going to train that effectively without some other innovation by simply following the obvious error metrics. If we can get there we will almost certainly see big data lose its pedestal: it's great to have, but humans don't need to read the entire Internet to understand a web page, that's an artifact of forcing this to be done by a model that doesn't have dynamics.

I disagree with Hofstadter's view (at least when he wrote GEB and some of his other classics) that explicit abstract reasoning is the right way to solve any of this; my gut tells me that in the end we're going to end up still using some sort of neural architecture and abstract reasoning rules will be implicitly learned mostly locally based on internal "error" signals that guide state transitions. "Learning how to learn" is probably going to be a big part of that, because current systems don't learn, they are merely trained to perceive by brute forcing weights down the stack. But some serious shifts in research focus will be required in order to break through the weaknesses of today's systems, and they all point more in the direction of reasoning, which is woefully underprioritized in all but a very small handful of niche AI labs today.
"That the universe exists" isn't a sufficient explanation since we know that it doesn't exist of necessity (since it is composed of parts). The argument doesn't say anything about what this "First mover" is like, only that it must be sufficient to explain the effects it produces (which includes being-a-person since that's qualitatively different than not-being-one). It's only when you come to the realization that to-be is the same as to-be-beautiful is the same as to-be-true that things start to look vaguely like the God of the burning bush and the problem of pain starts to raise its head (and then you have to meet the cross and either break on it or be saved by it).

I am sympathetic to labor issues at amazon and other places, but a lot of tech criticism seems out of place and undue. Amazon warehouses don't seem fun (i've never done that job) but they do pay fairly well above min wage, which they deserve some credit for. If anything it validates the Senators' pushes for better wages proving it won't bankrupt businesses.

It seems obvious that amazon would want this to be the focus, instead of bottles of pee. They could be a great ally to democrat politicians pursuing changes - amazon shows they can be a trillion dollar biz with change X, amazon isn't chastised in WashingtonDC. Win-Win.
Of course everything has to be repacked into little tubes and back into containers on the other end, but let's not let these things get in the way of a solid plan. Elon Musk!
Seems more plausible that mixers and other techniques for evading surveillance would be outlawed, as I can't imagine a government giving up the blockchain data on peer-to-peer transactions. Imposing a KYC regs and social credit scores on wallets would be another likely measure. The U.S. will probably lead with a ban threat, and then walk it back to these measures as "reasonable," negotiated solutions. I'm not advocating these, but if I had to bet where the puck was going, this seems more likely.
