A nice thing of the proper ALGOL linage systems programming languages (which C only has basic influence), is that you can write nice high level code and only deal with pointers and raw pointer stuff when actually needed, think Ada, Modula-2, Object Pascal kind of languages.

So something like CUDA Rust would be nice to have.

By the way, D already supports CUDA,

As it turns out, NVIDIA just open sourced a product called Legate which does not just GPUs but distributed as well. Right now it supports NumPy and Pandas but perhaps they'll add others in the future. Just thought this might be up your alley since it works at a higher level than the glorified CUDA in the article.

Disclaimer: I work on the project they used to do the distributed execution, but otherwise have no connection with Legate.

What are analysts saying about where this will end? Housing prices can't go up forever like this. And when the demand drops will the prices crash? I guess what I'm asking is, is it a bubble?

EDIT: just a month ago there were all the stories about how San Francisco's property prices were plummeting. It seems like a wild ride.
When technologies like my example come about, we get to choose how widely people benefit from it. Automation replacing factory workers certainly could and should benefit people besides the factory owners, but my entire thesis is that the American economy is currently set up to almost entirely benefit the factory owners and shareholders, while being unbelievably heartless to the people being replaced. Sure, prices might fall for everyone, but monopolies and principal-agent problems make that harder. Note that the factory owners likely did nothing to reap that enormous benefit; they simply waited for technology to advance. Universal basic income is about recognizing that exponentially increasing automation is an amazing, unprecedented benefit to society and trying to make sure that benefit is widely shared instead of being hoarded by existing capital owners.

And can you please not replace my comment about taxing the rich more with some hyper-extreme 100% wealth tax? Nobody is suggesting that, so you're arguing with a straw-man. 100% is clearly insane. What are you even referring to, the French Revolution?
I think you make a good observation when you say that we have many kinds of sources of truth. People want to create many different kinds of sources of truth because people find sources of truth very very valuable. The fact that we can agree that bitcoin gives us a source of truth proves that bitcoin creates value because, as we know, people find them so valuable.
It is not 100% clear to me if he's asking for no panic in any possible situation. (AFAIK, the BUG macro in the kernel does something very similar, so I would find it slightly surprising, though he may only want it to happen "explicitly" or something, we'll just have to see.)

It is clear to me that he is asking for no panics for OOM.
> Basically: don't play God.

(Un)fortunately, we already are God. We already mess with Mother Nature. Our continued existence has impacts so complex that those impacts cannot be modulated solely in degree, because changing degree causes a cascade of effects that makes it a change in type.

It is unpredictable, not because it is natural, not because it is sacred or some other special case, but because of the number of parts. And in spite of that lack of clarity, we are inescapably responsible for making choices that will steer the ecosystem. As Sartre wrote,

> In one sense choice is possible, but what is not possible is not to choose. I can always choose, but I must know that if I do not choose, that is still a choice.

There is no surety that non-intervention will lead to outcomes that are better by any measure, whether that measure is long-term stability, convenience for humans, or nearly any other you might choose. Left alone, nature can only select the traits that made the last generation breed the most. None of that is proof against the future. For every species alive today, many others are dead, exactly because nature was not messed with. Nature does not share humanity's moral attachment to conservationism.
Ruby on Rails is a popular choice, but it obviously depends on what you’re building. A JAM Stack like you seem to be talking about can be quick as well, but you have to deal with the API, which you left out in terms of prototyping.
My tastes are not necessarily similar to my friends. That's actually what makes the email feed cool. I am open to branching out and reading books that I normally wouldn't expect to read.

In terms of recommending what I am already likely interested in based on my previous reads, the "Readers also enjoyed" section seems decent to me. Is that what people think sucks? I've used that a fair amount and found it to be valuable. Or is it the whole "Browse" section that's bad? I never look under there.

I use goodreads every day, but that means spending 5 mins max on it (I hop in, add a book that I heard about somewhere to my to-read list, then I hop off). And, like I alluded to in my first reply, from what I can tell this behavior also holds true for my friends. I don't think I'm an outlier, though I totally understand that people use the site differently than me and they find it wanting.

> A nearly $200k markup over less than 4 years is crazy

I'd wager that 75-90% of that gain came in the last 12 months alone.

In the Santa Cruz Mountains, houses are going within days well over asking to buyers with all cash offers.

Our realtor friend listed a house for $1.5M, and within 48 hours had 7 bids, topping out at $1.85M. The people who bid $1.6M didn't even get a counter offer.

They said it's a mix of Silicon Valley millionaires and billionaires buying 2nd+ homes outside of the city.
How do you maximize the E(log(wealth)) when applied to a HFT strategy? In such a strategy we have N sequential bets, each bet has a roughly normal distribution outcome with mean just above zero.

The example on Wikipedia supposes we are investing in a geometric Brownian motion and a risk free asset.
Funny but our house supposedly also has gone up in 70K value in last 12 months and about 40K of that in last 3 months. It's crazy.
I have worked for some insanely political companies and this just made me laugh. That’s a genius application of a dark pattern/malicious compliance “nudge.”

The problem with GMO Mosquitoes is, it’s auto-scaling. We want to code one behavior and let it grow by itself better than autochtone species.
what bothers me even more is that all the data for those queries is user-generated, which means that users have essentially contributed value to the site but cannot get it back. that's the competition I would really like to see - a site that crowd sources book metadata in the form of tags and then makes the data freely available and searchable.

It's not like they don't have myriad other creatures to outsmart in their daily lives.

> But the puzzle still remains why their intelligence is similar at all to the one that evolved through forced social interactions.

Is it? Every time I see 'octopus' and 'intelligence' in the same sentence it's someone saying how weird and alien they are. Possibly they have some similarities when it comes to theory of mind because they're modeling generic other intelligences, but everything else about their minds seems totally alien unless presented with a large ladle of anthropomorphization poured over it.

Is it reasonably easy to attribute individual entries in pclntab to specific symbols? If so I'd love to add this capability to https://github.com/google/bloaty which already tries to do per-symbol analysis of many other sections (eh_frame, rela.dyn, etc).

The article linked in this thread is a syndicated copy of an original article published elsewhere, as clearly stated by the attribution section at the bottom. It's reasonable to expect that changes to the original will only be updated in the copy with a delay.
I had given this some thought in the last few months about how valuations across the board are so nonsensical that the investment landscape is ripe for essentially small businesses to go public, and not even have to game their finances because people will mis-screen them anyway and flock to purchase literally anything.
I’m pretty sure this is developed and patented by Purdue University (or perhaps a partnership). They don’t really try to extract extreme fees for usage.
> That "During the current FLoC origin trial" bit scares me though. Why should I assume the scope of implicit inclusion in FLoC won't be expanded in the future?

It's the other way around: it's saying that normally "a page visit will be included in the browser's FLoC calculation if document.interestCohort() is used on the page" but to support this specific origin trial it will also include pages "if Chrome detects that the page load ads or ads-related resources". This is needed to avoid the chicken and egg problem that you would otherwise have in a proof-of-concept experiment.

> Your applications would be more performant and CS-theoretically-elegant if written in C++ or Elixir/Phoenix. But you would spend a lot more time digging into segfaults, manipulating databases, and writing CRUD form boilerplate, which is far removed from your business logic.

With C++, absolutely. With Elixir/Phoenix? I never have to debug low-level issues. I also don’t have to waste time debugging stupid scope stuff and dumb data structure inconsistencies that PHP is full of.

> “magic” around databases, forms, CRUD, … scheduling and task queues…

“The bill comes due…” As long as you’ve got a small scope, sure, that might work. Maintenance on magic gets harder though. If the magic is what you need, you might want to take a closer look at the Phoenix system. Ecto’s DSL is just as easy as an ORM in the simple case, but is far more composable and robust in the complex cases. For simple jobs, you can just leverage the BEAM for task scheduling—I needed a little task run every 5 minutes; all it took was a dozen lines of simple code—no Redis needed! Just as “magic” feeling, but better architected and maintainable in the long-run.
It's tough to read too much into this single paragraph. I think the key is why you dropped out of school. You need to have a narrative.

1. "I had some promising personal projects, so I quit during my 3rd year of school to launch one of them. I did {X,Y,Z} but ultimately couldn't turn the corner to profitability so I shut down / failed spectacularly. Now it's time to get my feet under me and learn proper engineering for a few years before I try again." --> This is a good story, but needs to be backed up by data regarding your startup failure.

OR

2. "I was tired of school and quit. I had a bunch of personal projects going and hoped to start one of them into a company but none of them really went anywhere." --> This is a bad story. If this is your situation, you may need to suck it up and go back to school to finish your degree. Otherwise you'll need to be incredibly honest with the interviewer about why dropping out was a bad decision.

OR

3. "I had to drop out of school for <personal reasons>. I've done a bunch of personal projects, so I have the passion and basic technical competence to succeed. I'd like to eventually finish my degree someday." (<--Note: doesn't matter if this is really true) "My focus now is to really engage somewhere for a few years to prove my worth and learn from other smart people." --> Another good story. Shows humility.

Your biggest risk here will be overplaying your past projects. From a Hiring Manager perspective they're interesting technical toys like a university project, but since they didn't go anywhere they don't mean that much. Not fair, but true. Also: stay FAR AWAY from the word "burnout", because this telegraphs "I have issues and won't be able to do my job."

Communicating that you made a mistake and now want to learn in a better environment for a few years helps de-risk you to the hiring manager and shows good self-awareness.
That does make me feel a bit better about it tbh. My main takeaway from my first watch through was "what are you doing obsessing over an octopus while you have a family at home that you seem to have forgotten about."
Alpine containers for P3 go down to about 60MB for the baseline. Everything else is what you added in.

CPython doesn't generate anything, and the binary installers (including docs and all) are about 30MB. Hell, the 64b embeddable package for windows (https://docs.python.org/3/using/windows.html#the-embeddable-...) is 16MB uncompressed.

I think it depends on what level of return you expect in an investment.

Since the industrial revolution (at least?) people have got richer, so incomes have grown faster than inflation in the long term.

So it is sustainable for the value of property to increase faster than inflation, in that sense property can indeed a valid and sustainable long term investment.

But overall, in the long term the value of property cannot increase faster than incomes. Where it does this can only be temporary and a slowdown is unavoidable.

I mean this in the friendliest and nicest way possible, but your arguments make you come off as extremely biased, and makes it harder to have a discussion with you. For example, a quick search reveals lane departure systems were in pretty good shape in 2010 on a Kia (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lane_departure_warning_system#...). It is hard to assess your argument that Tesla can deploy their semis tomorrow... etc.

From my previous personal experience, once you start having discussions like these, the original poster gets hostile, moves the target post... etc.
This is a gross mischaracterization of what occurred, of the level of falsehood that Google itself is being punished for:

"That isn't true. Even with “location history” paused, some Google apps automatically store time-stamped location data without asking.

For example, Google stores a snapshot of where you are when you merely open its Maps app. Automatic daily weather updates on Android phones pinpoint roughly where you are. And some searches that have nothing to do with location, such as “chocolate chip cookies” or “kids science kits”, pinpoint your precise latitude and longitude accurate to the square foot and save it to your Google account."

https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2018/aug/13/google-lo...

Yes, Web and App Activity both includes location data still collected despite Maps being told not to, or when obviously-location-specific information like Weather is being retrieved, but also when unrelated searches are made for ad targeting purposes. Basically, every unrelated bloody app would collect your location, and since your Google phone is running 20 some-odd Google services, they still had a pretty good location history, even when your location history was completely off.

This random person's thesis describes 1/N in a way I think is understandable:

> In circa 400 A.D. Jewish Rabbi Issac Bar Aha recommended always to invest a third into land, a third into merchandise and to keep a third at hand. This method later became well-known under the name “1/n asset allocation strategy”, “equal asset allocation strategy” or “naïve strategy” and is further defined by DeMiguel et al.(2009) as ”the one in which a segment 1/n of wealth is allocated to each of N assets available for investment at each rebalancing data.” The strategy requires investing an equal part of the capital in the different present assets. Nowadays this rule is often labelled as naïve and too simple, by McClatchy and VandenHul (2005) for example.

Gerd Gigerenzer has a number of books, the one I recently read was, "Risk Savvy" and he goes into some detail about the topic. All I'd do here is write a terrible book review, so if you're curious, I definitely recommend taking a look at the book. I'm not sure I totally agree with his arguments (I had a hard time understanding how he would suggest accounting for human bias), but they're definitely interesting.
Fortune’s Forumla by William Poundstone is an excellent book. Edward Thorpe has most of his papers published too, they’re all good for a read [though I cannot be held responsible if you’re going to beat the dealer at Blackjack, I don’t need Kelly to know how that will turn out :)]
In the US, you can condition employment on the quality of the school someone went to, but it is much more difficult to condition it based on IQ or a standardized test of some kind.
> If a study doesn’t replicate then it’s almost certainly nonsense.

For some fields, especially natural sciences, this statement makes sense. However, for sciences of the artificial (to use Herb Simon's term) I would respectfully disagree.

For example, sometimes the underlying context has changed. I remember a luminary in my field (HCI) once argued that we should consider re-doing many studies every decade, because each cohort uses a different set of tools and has a different set of experiences, and because the underlying demographics of those cohorts change.

It seems there is a lot in common with GMO FUD and anti-vaccine FUD. Both have a huge distrust of technology that has been shown by scientific study after study to be safe. Both talk about potential risk in general, especially theoretical worst case scenarios, and demand an impossible level of confidence, while ignoring the concrete trade offs and baseline risks.
