DFINITY | San Francisco, Palo Alto, Zurich | Onsite (remote supported in some locations)| https://www.dfinity.org

DFINITY is reimagining the Internet as a public network that hosts secure software and services. The Internet Computer is a new technology stack (which can replace the need for legacy cloud services, CDNs, databases, web services and more) that is unhackable, fast, scales to billions of users around the world, and supports a new kind of autonomous software that promises to reverse Big Tech’s monopolization of the internet. DFINITY was founded in 2016 and has raised over $150mm from top-tier institutions including Polychain Capital and Andreessen Horowitz.

Similarly, slerp is also not a property of quaternions [1], contrary to the claim in the article, and is usually not implemented inside quaternion libraries using quaternion exponentiation like the article does, but by computing angles explicitly [2], for robustness I believe, and also because slerp is designed for normalized quats, not for general quats with non-unit magnitude.

With these two things combined - the two most commonly cited reasons about why to use quaternions (using slerp and avoiding gimbal lock) - what are other reasons to use quaternions? I’m aware that there are moderate compute savings in some cases (a matrix obviously has more degrees of freedom than a rigid orientation). Are there other good reasons to deal in quaternions? There are some reasonable ideas about why not to use them. [3]

People have spoked with their wallets, they are starting to buy Apple because "its better, more easy than windows and has resale value" but the reality is that apple does the same or even worse than microsoft, the main difference is that in Windows there are still ways to disable this functionalities in Apple they are tightly integrated on the macOS and can't even disabled without crippling your user experience.
USS The Latest will have all the countermeasures it needs. What about $random_middle_eastern_wedding_guests? Countermeasures aren't available to anyone but the military. But in some parts of the word everybody can be a target, especially if some superpower needs to maintain its sphere of influence, or they happen to be at war with some genocidal regime.

Drones have been used quite successfully for many decades now and clearly haven't developed any countermeasures for what most of their targets are concerned, "quickly" or otherwise. This is why we still read about drones bombing people out of existence, whether the correct target or not.

An autonomous drone just outsources the usual killing from the human operator to a script, making it even more likely to make a mistake and also apply the desired effect: terror.

The ranges of the 17 & 13 year Periodic Cicadas don't really overlap, so the strategy isn't to avoid competition with other cicadas. It's believed that the prime number periodicity is to avoid the life cycle periodicity of predators.

Besides, in areas where different cicadas overlap, they spend something like 99.9% of their time underground consuming the same food resource, alongside the non periodic annual cicadas. Competition between cicadas doesn't seem a major issue.

> Obviously other people can play a part in this but at its core, success is exclusively individually based.

Luck plays a huge role in success though. Literally every breakthrough experienced in my life wasn't because I worked very hard but because I was at the right time at the right place. Yes I wasn't lazy but I still won't lie to myself the same way I lie to HR & recruiter types who want to hear how X led me to Y. (X and Y were so far apart that only a miracle could explain what motivated me to "pivot").

Humans are all blinded by hindsight when we are asked to tell the story that made us (or broke us). People parrot Ayn Rand about "being the master of our success" because it makes us sound so much more virtuous than admitting we were at the right place at the right time, instead e.g.: Some poor maggots born in a 3rd world slum getting their limbs chopped as a child and sent to beg. Or that old homeless guy who has been set on fire twice who they call "the beggar king" who is always at the Frankfurt railway station, and who has a story about his father injecting him smack when he was 9 to get him hooked (and under better control). The majority that we tend to forget about simply never gets a chance. We don't count them because the only thing they are good for is so we feel better about our own great life which is perfectly visible when put into the contrast of such people.
What you're ignoring is that now we have orders of magnitude more data (e.g., the YouTube video you mention) but still no more signal. Just like it was in 1970s, the strongest we've got is still "that's neat and I can't explain it".

This is like "God of the gaps" theology: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/God_of_the_gaps

The claimed phenomenon keeps retreating to exactly fit into the gaps of our ignorance. And it will always keep retreating, because filling in the unknown with quasi-anthropomorphic entities is what humans have been doing since long before they invented Zeus and Thor.

Is it possible it's all UFOs or angels or Huginn and Muninn running errands for Odin? Sure. But there is no more reason to favor one explanation over the other. And the world is full of infinite things we don't have enough data to explain.

Why is that particular bird outside your window right now? Why is it singing the song it does? One explanation is that space aliens are using it to spy on you; the birdsong is how it communicates to coordinate observations with other birds. Maybe the iPhone 11 just isn't good enough to show the construction flaws in the feather patterns that would prove it too is a UFO.

But that theory is exactly as valid as "the explanation for this video is UFOs" and we should treat them with equal weight.
They end up with a 30 year old house that has been rented. There is a lot of cost in the upkeep of a rented house. When purchasing a house with the intent of renting it there are rules in place to play by when calculating the risk and return...but when the government completely rewrites the rules on the fly and basically forces you to rent for free for >1 year then its a problem.
So, no families allowed. Only singles and couples.

Automatic test generation in this case is not testing your hypothesis of how the code behaves, but rather records how the code actually does.

This can be very useful if you are dealing with legacy code bases or just don’t want to write tests yourself.

I agree that if your are going to write the tests, using hypothesis is a very wise decision.

> That's because commuting to all those errands is a waste of time.

Only in the eyes of the employer. People have always taken time out of their day for things like buying food, cooking for yourself, exercising, etc. Those things aren't burdens when your employer isn't demanding complete control over your life. And they are only "perks" in a culture where they do.

A few things!

- a fellowship and guest lectures

- collaborating with my previous co-authors in my own time

- publishing educational content

and you're right, it is something I'm passionate about. The list above is my attempt to stay involved, but I'm not sure how that will work out long term. Hopefully I will find something sustainable.
I don't think you know what the heck you're talking about.

> I simply do not have the socialization to get into or maintain a romantic relationship.

IMO dating is a numbers game. I met my wife on Tinder ~9 years ago. No idea the online dating scene now but even back then Tinder was known as a hookup app. I was very upfront that I was looking for a long-term relationship, on Tinder and another app I was on. I believe you can learn more about a person in 5 minutes in person than you can in any amount of digital communication pre-meet. Another good thing about online dating is both of you know exactly why you are speaking - when you try to convert acquaintances into romantic partners there is a bit of confusion there.

Numbers game because most will not be a good fit, and also you will get rejected a lot. If you are emotionally prepared for commitment then you can be emotionally prepared for disappointment. But once you find a good fit you will find a partner for life! I think you can do it.

Their immigration and SAAQ sites are what I've interacted with most recently. Both "just worked" and had reasonable UI and UX without having to disable adblockers or use IE or any nonsense like that. There are small nits occasionally, but by and large they work for their intended purposes I've found.

Sometimes I wonder if "truly secure" messaging platform and "internet" messaging platform are incompatible. Is the reality that any internet based digital messaging platform is insecure in the long term. Eventually, your messages can be retrieved, traced, even tracked real time.

>but the equivalent number of trains interrupt the landscape less

It's not so cut and clear. Anywhere that isn't super flat you're going to need to cut into and build on top of the landscape a ton because of the low maximum grade inherent to steel wheels on steel rails. This comes with retaining walls, runoff control and all the other features required to keep the landscape from quickly reclaiming the rail bed. These features have impact on the surrounding ecosystems but less visibly than roadkill.
I wonder, will the US get MEP's?
I think actually talking about the fact that adult responsibilities are stressful af and that we've all just accepted that as normal is a good thing. I am remarkably better off financially than my peers and have less responsibility and I still feel as though it could all come crumbling down at any moment. If I or my partner can't work a full-time job, have sudden medical bills, get into a car accident there is no support network waiting for me and I don't have enough wealth accrued to support myself without my salary.

We've based our whole society around everyone just being expected to be fundamentally financially insecure. The difference between upper-middle class and poor is how much junk I can buy, it doesn't make me any less insecure about all the big expenses that are required for me to live and work -- my pantry, my rent, my car, my health. I grew up poor and I thought having money would make it better. That when people say they don't have to worry about money they meant it. But what it really meant for me was you stop having to worry about small day-to-day expenses but I stil have the sword of damocles over my head for the big stuff.

Empathy is a good thing and understanding that outside of the really really rich we're all in a similar situation is a good thing.

> Depression is a particular brain chemistry imbalance that doesn't respond much to lifestyle changes but is usually treated well by meds.

The “brain chemistry imbalance” story is very outdated. That’s not what researchers and scientists think depression is.
"Then it's their responsibility to seek it out."

Sure.. but what if despite knowing that they still don't?

A lot of people suffering from depression don't seek help despite knowing they should. They watch themselves sinking deeper and deeper, and their lives gradually falling apart and don't ask for help, or even when they do they might not follow through with what they need to do to improve their lives.. from missing therapy appointments, to not taking medication, to not taking the little steps to improve their lives.

There are various reasons for that, but the bottom line is that many of them don't, and no amount of finger wagging at them is going to change that.
This presupposes that a hiring manager can perfectly judge the quality of candidates. There are a ton of great engineers in, say Romania. But unless you know how to find and discriminate, you will be stuck with the average Romanian engineer.

As anyone who's done serious hiring can tell you, judging candidates is damn tough. There's only a loose correlation between how a candidate looks on paper and how he performs. Now imagine translating this process to a completely foreign culture halfway across the world. Do you know which universities in Romania are good? Do you know who the most prestigious employers and positions in Romania are? Do you have a network of Romanians to recommend new hires?

In fact, even if you try, most likely you'll be stuck with below average engineers. Not only will the top ones get scooped up by those with better local knowledge, but the lack of knowledge goes both ways. Top engineers aren't going to join some fly-by-night employer with no local brand, track record in that country, and no career track to senior positions.

The only way I've seen a company actually succeed at this is by being willing to fully embrace the country. It's not just enough to hire off-the-shelf Romanian engineers, the company has to actually become "Romanian". Are companies willing to hire senior management from Romania? Are Romanian employees "first class citizens" with equivalent work to their American counterparts? Is the company raising money from Romanian VCs? Are they pushing Romania as a primary markets for their product? If the answer to any of those questions is no, then it's highly unlikely that you'll succeed in recruiting, interviewing, hiring and retaining top talent in that local market.
The US government and their mandate without compensation or forbearance stretched their finances to the limit.
