Exactly, as that's more or less what "process node" refers to today. I guess they don't want to change the metric as some could be confused by it.

> But it bothered me, why should it be difficult to come up with a reasonably meaningful number? Just find out how many transistors can be placed in a given area, pretend they are laid out in a square, and find the number on a side, to calculate the linear density.

There are plenty of other metrics. As usual, measuring only one number hides half the story. A process node is characterized by gate leakage and capacitance among others, for the electrical characteristics. Then, more meaningful surface area metrics are the size of an actual logic cell, like SRAM or a flipflop. Some processes lend themselves to optimizations that wouldn't be visible if just placing transistors side by side.
How do you figure out they're using an engine? Are there obvious human moves and AI moves?
Agile is what managers make it to be. To A LOT OF THEM it is about not doing any planning, writing zero specifications, using vague language for requirements, comparing performance of apples and oranges, "self-help"/motivational, justification to pressure those below and not bother with those above and so on and on.

But to most, it is just putting lipstick on the same old pig.

Did I mention the whole training, coaches and lango flinging industry?
"Meta-analyses based on 18 randomized controlled treatment trials of ivermectin in COVID-19 have found large, statistically significant reductions in mortality, time to clinical recovery, and time to viral clearance."
If it was in C++, what you really want is consteval or constinit, constexpr only for pre-C++20.
It can be all summed into reading, writing, math, and some grit.

Among US college graduates only a minority can demonstrate literacy proficiency. Roughly half demonstrate intermediate skills. Then there is 10-15 percent who are "below basic" (the educational system failed them). Many other countries have similar problems with their education.
Yeah, odd idea.. do they also stop shooting at the enemy at 17:00:01, because "Sorry boss, I'm off the clock?"
I guess this is timed to get it out of the way before the IPO.

I don't know whether Robinhood as a stock would be worth investing in (probably, but that's your decision to make).

As far as adverse press and reputation are concerned, these sorts of things only have a negative effect if they represent some kind of underlying/fundamental issue with the company.

Unless if you think that Robinhood will repeatedly be hit by regulatory fines, and that the fines or other actions are large enough to strongly impact their bottom line, the FINRA action probably isn't much of a factor.
This is so true. I worked at a startup backed by famous VCs. We over-raised seed $, hired some top engineers to work on a VCish product with different cool dev methodologies.

Two years later, the ship went down. If I were the founder, I would focus on one thing: ship something people want badly as fast as possible.
> Replacing PID with moving horizon estimator allowed me to cut time from startup until stable temperature by at least half and eliminate any measurable over or undershoots.

PID are simple to implement but tricky to tune.

In your case you could probably have solved most issues by improving tuning.

Intuitively: don't. You won't be able to optimize for both, and the requirements and perspectives from the respective groups will differ greatly. Its more or less rule number one: if you build a tool, let it do one thing, and let it do that one thing right. If you seriously want to do both, build one core library and add different frontends for the target groups.
Ironically, though the latter’s position is reversed with regard to Assange himself and the former’s famous intervention in the domestic affairs of other sovereign nations, Henry Kissinger would agree with you that law stops at the border, while Amnesty International would disagree and say certain crimes have universal justification.

And indeed, the USA isn’t the only nation claiming universal jurisdiction for various offences.
I guess you could compare the outputs for different engines with that of a "suspicious" player - if their moves match exactly, flag them, if it happens too many times, ban them. Something like that.
I also recommend Robinhood's full 123-page Letter of Acceptance, Waiver and Consent. Very readable, and it's quite the catalogue of, at absolute best, less than competent behaviour. https://www.finra.org/sites/default/files/2021-06/robinhood-...

Back in those days developers were still doing most of the hiring decisions so with a sanely looking resume you could get an interview and if you could pass for knowing programming you could get a job (apart from in the post-dotcom bust and 2008 when firms just didn't hire).

At some point during the 20 years since, orgs decided that HR was to handle hiring. HR trying to add value by having the BEST candidate in their mind and decides that nice-to-haves are promoted to requirements, anyone over 55 (because they would not stay long enough, even while younger ones change jobs within 2 years) is culled as is anyone with less than 5 years of experience (unless possibly if you're below 25).

Then orgs go around complaining that it's hard to recruit people, Go figure.
There's been some work done to work around this issue. One of the approaches is to keep an always offline "fallback" key that can be used to "lock" an account and transfer ownership to a new account in the case that a private key is leaked.

This doesn't solve the issue entirely but it does provide a mechanism for recovering in the case of a major attack.

I’d hope so, but then again, this is what their ML model spat out, which suggests people have written stuff like this, though hopefully not the wonkiness around the bit after the last dot.

But on the brighter side, the material the user provided to Copilot in this case was pretty much “I want to implement email validation from scratch” rather than “I want to validate an email address”, which is where hopefully people would look more to existing libraries. And they’ll commonly already such libraries or functions in their code base, e.g. under Django you’d use… uh oh, searching found https://stackoverflow.com/q/3217682/ first which looks frighteningly familiar here in half of the errors it contains; but anyway, you should use https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/3.2/ref/validators/#emailv.... I suspect the Copilot approach as used will be unintentionally biased much more towards boilerplate and implementing things from scratch, rather than using libraries.
Except that on embedded const objects might land on read only memory and cast-ing away constness will give hours of debugging pleasure.
>about as good as the average programmer who's going to validate E-Mail with regexes would

IMHO, the average programmer is not even aware of regexs, which is a problem, but here would lead the programmer to a simpler to read solution.

You need to be at a very particular point (good enough to be proficient with regexs, but bad enough to use them for everything and bad enough to not test your regex), and I strongly doubt that's the average.

P.S. The video question was to validate emails, not 'validate using regex'.
Build all the hype you want around it, the price would pancake if the only way to buy was via localbitcoins, and that's really the only thing most people care about.
> This is also a good reason to keep a VPS even if you aren't using it at the moment: it keeps the IP "clean" so that when you put it back into use, it is useful, as opposed to (possibly) some random IP that up until a month ago was spammer central.

That won't protect you from the block getting on a blacklist though.

I guess a basic implementation might compare the moves performed by the player under evaluation against the move that an engine would suggest?

Presumably an excellent player might often make the same moves as an engine, so this measure alone isn't going to be perfect. But it could be a starting point. You might also look at the player's historical performance and watch for suspicious changes, or perhaps look for patterns in the time taken to play the move?
People who aren't on Robinhood.
Quite simple. The government legislates that membership in a non-government entity is required to do business in a sector.

If you’re fined and don’t pay the fine to the entity, they revoke the membership and you are now breaking the law.
Previously publishers did improve the papers and checked them. Those times are long gone and it is questionable what their purpose might be today.

IP law has long been abused to stifle development instead of protecting it. In this case it might stifle scientific research.
I mean, if people acknowledge that there’s ambiguity then how can others argue with absolute certainty that he’s just being satirical?
When offering PhD studentship positions, I have had several cases of people from developing countries who wanted to come work in my group, but didn't, and the reason (from their own accounts) was that their parents wouldn't let them go get their PhD anywhere not in the US.

They ended up at groups in the US with much worse scientific output than mine (it's true that well-known US universities wipe the floor with mine in every metric, but that's not true when you go down to the level of individual groups, labs or fields of research), while working unpaid while I was paying a decent salary.

They were bright people so I think and hope they'll have fruitful careers, but their parents (with their best intentions, I'm sure) surely put a roadblock in front of them due to the prejudice that there are no good opportunities outside the US.
I don’t think it’s fair to frame their intent that way. “Like” does not mean “exactly”. A period of time on the order of years is fine.
Agreed. Some people would rather burn bridges than admit they were wrong
That's awesome thanks man.
I don't like his sense of humor either, but I have to admit he exposes certain aspects of tech life and attitudes that people in general don't talk about, and maybe this is what make us uneasy (or: is funny to some). Things like badly camouflaged pride in one's achievements, position, being successful, being better than others. He is deliberately ambiguous.
Very similar to the approach AWS takes with ‘clientToken’ being an API parameter, not transport/protocol header, for operationz that need it. If clients dont specify a value the SDK will populate the idempotency token and handle retries etc transparently. The approach is that API/SDK/client semantics should be similar across services, but very few users care about actual transport or “on the wire” serialization.

Disclaimer: principal at AWS, but just general observations on this topic.
> LTO could handle this if you're compiling an executable, but not a library.

That's not the correct distinction, that's why I said default vs hidden visibility.

Libraries typically export more symbols but executables can also export them eg for plugins.
Cardano is proof of stake and getting a ton of attention lately in being added to Grayscale’s crypto ETF as it’s 3rd largest holding. They even sold other assets, Bitcoin, Ethereum, to do it. It’ll be interesting to watch.
I'm really sorry for the relationship you have with your father.

I've had similar experiences, but not as drastic as yours -- my father didn't allow me to use my bike for YEARS as a punishment for smashing my bike as a 10 year old (faulty chain, impulsive child).

I guess this I would call the real toxic masculinity.

Unfortunately there's nothing much you can do, except build your life around it, keep your boundaries firm and perhaps psychotherapy.
Is this real or are you joking?
Isn't it deadly ironic that the country that has such terrible health care is also the same country where people get shot all the time?

I love it that San Jose is going to require gun owners to carry liability insurance if they want to carry weapons. It's about time they started paying for the health care and rehabilitation and funerals of all the people they shoot, and stopped whining that they're victims of government is oppression, when they're perfectly complacent with everyone paying for licensing and registration and insurance of cars.

The promise of CASE was closer to the promise of now Copilot, but hard coded instead of statistical.
Yes, the waste always has to go somewhere, the choices are really about how quickly and how concentrated the waste is. (And where it goes, I suppose)

Good luck. Those of us in other gaming spheres have been running up against this problem for aeons now. We're not winning. I can only imagine that detecting cheating is even harder in chess.

The factor for me is that they are at least thinking about it. It feels as though the waste is an afterthought every time I read about desalination.

Nationalized means “government owned”. Maybe pick a different word?

The govt has strict rules around drug manufacturing but it’s not accurate to say the industry is “nationalized”.
Yes, it is linear, with a few small exceptions. The vast majority of element types in the game only check a fixed number of neighbours. Neighbour checking uses a 2-D map so it's constant-time.
Slap on the wrist.
Robinhood will be identified as a way to milk common folks money by the big players.

They are. However, when code is generated there need to be an explicit clause in the license terms for the same. Else, by default, the generated code would be subject to the same license, GPL v3 in this case. I therefore recommend the authors to review the licensing terms with lawyers.
Isn't "Code you don't understand" the definition of AI/ML?
It's hard because often cheaters will play 'clean' until they get behind or to a particularly ambiguous spot, when they will cheat for one or two moves.

The really hard part of chess is what to do in the mid game, once you're off your scripted opening, there is still lots of material, and neither player has any significant vulnerabilities. A computer is useful here.
Ideally a system of credit based on proof of work is based on proof of productive work embodied in artifacts which competition can increase the supply of without restraint.

A proof of productive work system can be implemented by having public employees of local loan office assess the minimum labor replacement cost of crops, equipment, structures, materials, and working inventory held on sites. Then allowing loans to be issued on security of the material capital at a duration which ensures the money is repaid before the value of the work stored in the material capital fully depreciates.

So bitcoin's proof of work algorithm is proof of unproductive work rather than proof of productive work. A public system of credit based on proof productive work stored in material capital stored on land does require establishing and maintaining a well organized state. But this is not necessarily an ethical dilemma for the majority of the population and may be necessary to solve global problems that society may be faced with in the future.

That's part of his meme/satire. I am still surprised at reading a few comments here which think he's doing the "as a millionaire" in his title as a serious/arrogance thing.

Anyone interested in the subject should also look into https://zkga.me. It's an incomplete information p2p game (just as mental poker). They utilize zksnarks, among other crypto tools.
Maybe you could evaluate based on changes in player's performance or ELO. If they rapidly begin advancing, it could be more likely they are cheating.
Checking for 'null or undefined' is an antipattern anyway, so there's no real valid use of '=='.
Fascinatingly, this is not always the case.

There exists at least one other kind of deletion on Github I've seen, where almost all evidence of the account ever existing is purged - the user URL 404s, any issues they ever filed are entirely gone and 404 like they never existed, all their replies on issues/PRs are excised without any note to indicate they ever existed, save for people apparently replying to an account @ that 404s who isn't visible in the conversation...

To this day, I do not know what is sufficient cause to trigger this level of purge, just that I unambiguously saw the above effects happen once.

(If the API allows it, it's certainly possible that the project I knew this user had posted in scripted this, but I didn't know the GH API allowed you to actually e.g. excise comments without any allusion that they ever existed, just mark them with something that renders them always or by-default hidden with a toggle, but always with a note that they are gone.)
Plus, many companies outsource many services to some SaaS third party, like payments, order tracking, even inventory and other stuff. They come with funny domain names and it's borderline impossible to tell what's legit and what's not.

And now I should tell my 70+ year old mom to "always look at the url bar"? That's entirely useless.
