Here’s an announcement on Twitter that leads to some information: https://twitter.com/ephtracy/status/1395589747259674624

The interviewers were "high pressure" or exhibited personality traits (lack of integrity, and in one case, cocaine use during the informal interview) I was not comfortable with.

The "high pressure" tactics interviewers apologized after, and I feel for them, but who knows what bullets I dodged by walking out. It was pretty disrespectful. Life's too short and that was over 2 decades ago and I have zero regrets about that day.
Yes I and pedantically bothered by the fact that it isn't really about spintronics nor electronics, but rather mechanical engineering and merely co-opting a more marketable term... that said I'll still buy a copy for my kids.

Why not have every dealer install a couple of fast chargers? They could build out a nation-wide fast charge network in a month.
Sure, if it's helpful:

* Its central claim, that PIA or Lee or whoever directed a bunch of money to Freenode or people involved with freenode, isn't contested by anyone. There's no record to set straight there.

* It spends the bulk of its time talking about a problem Lee seems to have with Thomas Welsey ("tomaw", I think?) --- but the logs with "tomaw" seem relatively civil? It's not really even clear what the problem here is.

* The public announcement from Christel and the IRC logs make it pretty clear that the Freenode operator community believed Lee was to have no operational role managing Freenode. What seems to have upset Lee here is a reorganization of Freenode's operational management, and something about who has the login for Freenode's DNS. Why does this matter? It seems to be obvious to Lee why this is problematic, but it's not at all obvious to me.

Subtextually: there's the additional problem of "what the hell does it mean to own an IRC network?" Neither Lee nor his company appear to run all the Freenode servers. Those servers are the actual IRC network. It's not that IRC's nature makes it impossible to own a network, but rather just that whatever it is Lee means by "owning" it, the onus is on him to explain it.

This PDF would be better if it stated clearly up top what the problem was, what the competing claim was, and why Lee's claim is right. Then, all these random chat logs should just be supporting appendices.

I'm not saying Lee is wrong about any of this. I'm saying that I do not understand what he is claiming in the first place.
Proof of work and proof of stake are both ultimately the same thing: proof of capital.

Between the two, staking the capital directly is a lot more efficient than having to first convert the capital to hash rate.

This is just wrong. Besides Home Depot, who aren't going to literally sic the gestapo on you if you use it to run a 2nd errand, there are plenty of companies that rent beater trucks for hauling anything you like.
Speech recognition algorithms today require lots of data, lots of training computation, and a decent design.

Decent designs are in published papers all over the place, so thats a solved issue.

Lots of compute requires lots of $$$, which isn't opensource-friendly.

Lots of data also isn't really opensource friendly.

Sadly this is a niche that the opensource business model doesn't really fit.
There's already a solution to this: https://eth.wiki/concepts/proof-of-stake-faqs#what-is-the-no...
If scarcity is eliminated (with technology like the replicator), we won’t need cryptocurrency or any currency at all.

I always wondered how much is The Federation actually involved in people’s lives. With no businesses to regulate, it really seems like their government is almost entirely consumed with Starfleet affairs (i.e., diplomacy with other non-federation peoples).
That sounds like the natural progression of a relationship/friendship to me. I'd ask my better-known friends larger tasks than people I don't know as well, too.
Really complicated question, but considering the free world got wikipedia and openstreetmaps, I'd bet we'll find a way.
You shouldn't need to take your eyes off the road to look at a camera screen just to see what's on the road in front of you. It's a car, not an armored fighting vehicle.
That job is for writing tools. So... not that performance critical.
TomTom on my Orange-branded HTC Windows phone/palmtop for me.

Unrelated obviously, but as someone who was surprisingly poor for an owner of such a phone in those days (it was on my mum's phone contract and we had to fight and haggle to get it), satnav software piracy was rampant back in the day.

I think there's still a Bluetooth GPS receiver somewhere in my old room at my folks place...
This is the best analogy I have ever read for what big tech is doing.

Apple and Google are unreasonable monopolies, and they shouldn't have total platform control.
> it's that pedestrian deaths are rising, partly because of cars that have zero forward visibility

Relative risk for light trucks is only 45% higher than cars and is lower than cars for heavy trucks. Buses are the real dangers on the road.

I suspect most of the increase in pedestrian fatalities is from pedestrians and drivers staring at their phone instead of where they are going. I have definitely had close calls where I watched someone looking at the phone start wandering through an intersection without seeing if it's clear.
Given enough time he is saying a single bad actor could amass 51% and attack the chain. It would also be a very expensive attack as they would risk the value of their stake. A PoW attack doesn’t require the same amount of investment.

On my drives, I usually count how many pickup trucks are carrying something/anything. I have one this is Austin, Kansas City, Seattle, Los Angeles. My assumption when I started was that this data would differ by location and about 40% trucks would be carrying something.

In reality the average is 2 out of 100 trucks carried anything in my counting. The highest I have seen in Los Angeles with 6 trucks carrying something.

That makes me believe that when you own a pickup truck, there is a small change of needing its large bed and powerful engine.

It maybe like gaming ready computer, swimming pools or fireplaces - usage is very low for most people, but you just might need it urgently someday. Or you think you might change your habits if you buy it

Yeah, that DHH article has one sentence doing a lot of work: "Whether we run on Python, PHP, Rust, Go, C++, or whatever, we’d still need databases, we’d still need search, we’d still need to store files."

It's not clear that's true (as in yes you'd probably still need all of those things at a high level, but would you need as much of them and would you need them out of process on another machine?). If magically your programming language gave you enough performance that a single binary + SQLite served all your needs and stuff like caches, message buses, and the like were completely unnecessary that'd radically change your ops budget.

Of course that is truly magical, but then again there are quite a lot of papers that demonstrate well-crafted single binary services outperforming heterogenous complex clusters with orders of magnitude more compute resources.
> A competitive market would enable me to sort by salary and benefits and apply for the best job.

There is no fixed salary for a job. That's the whole point. It's a negotiation, where candidates with unique skills can negotiate higher compensation that reflects their unique skill-sets and contributions. What you want is to impose a one-size-fits-all rule on the market. That's going to produce misallocation and inefficiency.

I will check it at home, I have started my PhD recently and I find the subject very interesting. It got my attention after reading some papers (i.e. DeepSDF). One of the best pages on the subject is Iñigo Quilez's blog: https://www.iquilezles.org/index.html
This just seems like handwringing at the circularity of using stake (i.e. past transactions) to decide what blocks get validated (i.e. future transactions.) But it's wrong:

First, attackers would need to collude to control 51% of the staked coin on the network to double-spend. There's no disincentive to stake (you won't lose coin if you're acting honestly), so stakes should approach the market cap of ETH itself.

Second, even with a 51% attack you can't keep giving yourself money to solidify your stranglehold on the network. All you can do is double-spend, which doesn't help you raise your stake. And when your attack eventually fails, you're punished by losing your entire stake - wiping out 51% of ethereum.

Finally, the "healing" the author alluded to of ETH would still happen. If an attack were carried out, and somehow managed to persist, honest miners would fork ethereum and blacklist all the coins that went into the malicious stake, rendering it impossible to mount again.

Just because security is circular in a sense doesn't mean it's insecure.

I 100% agree with:

You don’t need the password confirmation since he can restore it via reset password form.

I don't know about anyone else, but I just Ctrl-A,Ctrl-C, then Ctrl-V the password into the confirmation box, thus totally defeating the whole point of it being there.

But I DISAGREE with the example used for this :

Put frequently used options on top

The example given is a countries list that has the USA at the top, then all the countries below it in alpha order. This is offensive to anyone who isn't in the USA - it basically screams 'we made this app/service for Americans, you global users need not apply'.

I every one owns a pickup, why don't you simply rent one (à la Airbnb, e.g with GetAround) for just a day?

I've never owned a vehicle (other than a bicycle, but I live in Paris) but can easily rent any kind of car/truck/van anywhere in Europe. It saves me a lot.
I was under the impression that the slice going to the creator is exempt from Apple's cut. That being said, there's probably no way (with Apple's APIs) to specify what %age is going to the creator, and what % is going to fees.

Perhaps this exemption only applies when 100% of the proceeds go to the creator (as is the case with Twitter's Super Follow)

And switch the i to a size_t and get vector code without the possibility of writing to random memory because your int overflows and GCC wants to pretend it cannot.

This is a poorly written loop. C design model is that if it is not critical, we don't care, and if it is, the programmer should fix it so optimization can work. https://gcc.godbolt.org/z/ErMP4cn6s
If you add some additional structure of remembering that the domain of these transformations is an abelian group, then there is actually a completely canonical version of the Fourier transform, whose domain is the dual group - the only non-canonical part is picking labels for elements of the dual group, but there is no other choice of basis functions. (Wikipedia gets a little into this, you can find it under "Pontryagin duality" on the Fourier transform page, but it's not really enough of an explanation to learn from).

Take the discrete Fourier transform for example, whose domain group is Z/nZ: the integers-mod-n for some fixed n. The basis functions for the transforms need to be group homomorphisms f: Z/nZ -> C, meaning that they need to satisfy f(a + b) = f(a) f(b) for all a, b. Without too much trouble you can work out that the only such functions are of the form f(k) = exp(2 pi i m k / n) for m = 0, ..., n - 1. So once the group structure is remembered, the choice of basis is forced. The only ambiguity is relabelling the basis elements back into Z/nZ, which is a (very useful) hack.

The same reasoning (with more complicated working) applies to taking the Fourier series of a periodic function, or taking the Fourier transform of a continuous function on the real line. There is a canonical choice of basis, but some ambiguity in what labels to assign to those basis elements.

Hmm, I'm thinking about the Web-browser level (Chrome / Edge / Firefox) instead of say, web-application layer (ie: PHPbb vs XenForo).

The web browsers seems to have significantly improved compatibility of <video> in recent years, and even had decent compatibility 10 years ago (if you use Baseline profile H.264 3.0 videos and Javascript to smooth over some edges).
For that to happen we need virtually endless resources.

All of the "just rent a truck for the day" comments are from city dwellers who can't imagine a lifestyle different from their own.
My honda can't really haul anything but a few people and some surfboards. If I attached a trailer with 2000lb of base rock in it, it would probably kill the engine but more importantly would be super dangerous to drive since there's no real hitch or brake controller.

So another vehicle was warranted: why not get one with the trailer "built in" (truck bed) so I don't have to have an SUV and a trailer that I have to hook up every time? There's other reasons I needed a tow-capable vehicle, but the utility of a truck just made the most sense.

I agree that there's an entire class if stuff (lumber/plywood) you can strap to your roof or get a little trailer for that doesn't warrant a truck, but having one makes a lot of the stuff I do weekly so much easier.
That's very disingenuous of you.
Oh well, there's a lot of people doing illogical things out there.

Folks who sit in their Civic every day for a couple of hours because they need to live here and work there.

Folks who own Subarus who rarely, if ever, make use of the AWD.

Folks who never ever use the back seat of their cars and might as well have a car that's 3 feet shorter.

Folks who own cars that can go over 70 mph.

That is kinda the problem; anarchically-organised community can not own a domain name, it falls always to some singular entity. And that is where the anarchy broke down when the community realized that they did not own the domain
It is also a stark reminder of one’s socioeconomic class. I can afford to consume this much fuel and sit this high and be safer than you, who can only afford the smaller vehicle and be subject to more risks, including being constantly blinded by the LED lights of all the higher pickup and SUV in your rear view mirror.
I've used the deepspeech project a fair amount and it is good. It's not perfect, certainly, and it honestly isn't good enough yet for an accurate transcription in my mind, but it's good. Easy to work with, pretty good results, and all the right kinds of free.

Thanks for taking time to contribute!
Very very helpfull website. Love it.
They've had serial output for a while now and one problem with this new version of it is that you can only get the output that is produced while you are actually connected to it. So if you'd like to see output from say yesterday - it's not going to happen.

Google Cloud will store this info (even after reboot) for a while.

Azure is probably the best at dealing with this as they can take both screenshots and dump text continuously into a bucket of files so you can always have everything available.
That's super fascinating. Does praying enrich your life? Do you think it's something you could replace with meditation?
> a tinge of anti-government sort of sentiment.

It might have overtones, but this is the decentralized versus centralized control (peer-peer vs client/server) merry-go-round that we are all stuck on.

There are practical reasons why you don't want a central authority: because other central authorities can destroy it. But with no central authority what do you do when someone tries to make themselves... for lack of a better term, a central pain in the ass?

Peer systems fail when someone can make everything about themselves with far less effort than it takes for a simple majority to stop them. It's asymmetric warfare if I can be naughty for 5 hours and 100 people have to spend an equal amount of time to undo whatever I've done.

The central authority can often do this much cheaper, especially if there is a collaborative health system (eg, report user). But they also paint a target on themselves in the process.

In my experience, kids who played YuGiOh didn't play with the rules on the cards, but came up with their own rules. I grew up in Greece where most YuGiOh - age kids didn't know much English, so they couldn't actually read the cards. I realised that when I tried to play with some kids once and they kept telling me "no, that's not how this card is played, this is how it's played", because I was trying to play like it said on the cards. I think maybe they had derived the rules from watching the anime.
HI. I'm an owner of this repository. You're right. And the reason why I chose the name frum instead of frm is that frm is hard to call and I don't feel attached to it.
I have a mid size GM truck and it sufficiently handles all my needs. It's not overly large and drives fine in the city and tight spots. It has good performance gets easily 25MPG on the highway. Trucks standup more to abuse, and are usually more reliable. I haven't had any real major issues with it. I take mine down some unkept dirt roads, something I would not want to take a unibody low group clearance car down. When I go camping I just throw everything in the bed with some bungee cords and I'm ready to go. I have a bike and when I transport it I just use a bike pad and don't have to mess with taking the bike wheels off and trying to stuff it in a car. Also the biggest selling point is trucks hold their value quite well.
I will likely never drive anything but a truck. They are the ultimate useful vehicle. I have an F150 as my daily driver and an F250 for my farm truck (I have 10 acres).

No, I am not a Trump flag flyer. I just happen to really like useful vehicles.

That said, one of the killer features of the tactical fps game Valorant is the sound you hear when defeating another player. It’s incredibly pleasant and satisfying in a way I haven’t experienced before, to where it feels a bit like a psychological conditioning reward. Despite being a somewhat similar noise, the effect is the polar opposite of the Windows string hit.

If done in quick succession it builds to a little sting at the fifth kill and if that wins the round, an announcer declares “ACE!” in a way that players clearly find extremely gratifying.

I’m not sure how to pull this off in an app. People have certainly tried, but, as an example, the ‘woosh’ noise when sending an email in Outlook isn’t something I look forward to.

However, I think I’d file this under ‘great UX inspires great UX,’ as there are plenty of games with bad or frustrating UX.

Also, is it a common thing now to call any complex branching hierarchy ‘fractal’?

You are funny. A "new" truck can easily run you 70k.
So bad--it boggles my mind. We joke that their company moto is: "U-Haul: It's Always Somthing".

So many instances of showing up after reserving online, and the staff says, "Uh, we don't have that truck."

Most recently, my friends couldn't get their reserved truck (on their moving day) because their site (and backend) was down nationwide. They had the truck, but _because_ everything's digital now, they had no fallback ability to rent out the reserved truck.
PoW is not self-referential. If someone shows you three blockchains, say pow1, pow2, pow3 you can roughly calculate the amount of real-world resources that were required to create each chain based on the hash difficulty. That work/effort cannot be faked. If the difficulty is high enough, you can be certain that this chain was not just generated in someone's basement last night.

With PoS, if someone shows you pos1, pos2, pos3, you have no idea which to trust without external information/trust. They all could have been generated the night before in someone's basement.
We probably just need fewer people.

Do they tax young people a lot?

Young people are not likely to earn money a lot, or at all in France, and so their income tax is 0%...

https://www.blevinsfranks.com/news/article/French-taxation-i...

Up to €10,084: 0% (a student job would not make more than that)

€10,084 – €25,710: 11% (a young person without a university degree would not probably earn less than 25,710)

> as long as people are involved it is impossible to not have a government

What always intrigued me about anarchism is that it doesn't seem that it had devoted much thought about preventing the re-formation of the state/government. Humanity used to live in small, tightly-knit communities, and if you studied (very) ancient history, you know how it ended: those communities banded together into bands, then into tribes, then those turned into proto-states, and... yeah.
This is fantastic, thank you for posting it!
