Yes, it is a bad thing. I paid fair and square for the device. I expect the vendor to have factored in all costs beforehand for the expected lifetime of the device. If it physically lasts 10 years then bill me all your expenses for those 10 years. Don't bill me for 3-4 years and then go "Oops, you still have that device, huh? Take those ads because we can't finance support for 6-7 more years out of all our billions. No really, we promise that we can't".

Additionally, I expect a corporation like NVIDIA or Google to have amortized the costs of supporting several ecosystems by the mere virtue of having engineers on them on a constant payroll -- those costs are not increasing, they remain the same for long periods of time -- plus to finance the support by other venues if need be. Brand loyalty and stuff?

This penny pinching by billionaire conglomerates leaves a sour taste in my mouth and it makes it all the more likely for me to invest in several specialized PCs, a home video / streaming player included. They'll never stop being shady, it seems, so we have to take things in our own hands, apparently.
Paper examines the persuasiveness of delivery in startup pitches [pdf]
Diversity of learning also helps for me, if you're 'thrashing' on a problem without making progress, take a break to focus on something else - even another skill entirely you're learning in parallel like cooking, writing, or something physical. It's almost like background processing - you need to load up the context and let your brain chew on the problem a bit and when you return to the problem a solution will usually present itself.
There are a few reasons why Julia still tends to be faster than numpy:

* Julia can do loop fusion when broadcasting, while numpy can't, meaning numpy uses a lot more memory during complex operations. (Numba can handle loop fusion, but it's generally much more restrictive.)

* A lot of code in real applications is glue code in Python, which is slow. I've literally found in some applications that <5% of the time was spent in numpy code, despite that being 90% of the code.

That said, if your code is mostly in numba with no pure python glue code (not just numpy), you probably won't see much of a difference.

This is a weird comment. Gp wasn't talking about day to day life or what cities look like or anything like that.

Going to China wouldn't teach you much about its government structure and governance. It's not like you can just walk in and observe party cells interacting with company leadership.

You don't need to go to China to know what the government structure is, what foreign policy it conducts and what kind of economic behavior is clearly not just condoned (small scale hacking, data harvesting) but encouraged (fishing other nations' territorial waters) or even demanded (foreign business ownership requirements, IP transfer requirements) by the party.

You don't need to go to China to hear reports from dissidents experiencing internment, forced labor and cultural genocide. Or to see all the broken international agreements and sovereign promises, eg the early destruction of a free Hong Kong. Or to see the territorial expansionism in salami slicing illegal maritime boundaries.

Or... most importantly, to understand that a despotic cartel that doesn't believe in individual human rights is a terrible form of human organization that has terrible externalities for the whole species and planet.
Wolf packs work like a family because they are families. For some reason people used to believe that packs were groups of wolves from different families, but that is not the case. Maybe because feral dogs will form large packs that are not from the same families and they assumed wolves did the same thing.

I 100% hear you here. Meetings are inherently pretty viral, so stopping the multiplayer is actually quite hard. We've had to manage it in app fairly deliberately as user growth can happen too quickly and customers can get frustrated.

The main value for experienced managers is a) the ability to offload the mental energy of remembering to bring something up in a meeting, b) the sheer volume of direct reports that need to becared for, and for organizers c) some of the best practice busy work that accumulates value over time (eg: sending notes after the meeting).

My only nit is we don't want to mediate a human interaction in app. Instead we want to encourage human interaction by removing as much of the the non-human interaction as we can.

I mentioned this in above thread, but I am thinking of ways to mash up Nebulus with Hypercore (Because the content addressable aspect has been unbundled from the networking aspect of IPFS, I think there will be some interesting ways to deliver IPFS over Hypercore). Will keep the hypercore community posted when I make some progress, and thank you for all your work with Hypercore. I use Hypercore for several of my projects.
>> These activities can be linked to the hacker groups known as Advanced Persistent Threat 40 and Advanced Persistent Threat 31 and have been conducted from the territory of China for the purpose of intellectual property theft and espionage.

Who in China would be more likely to organize an espionage campaign? Espionage is a game played by governments.

Your objection is like, after detecting a nuclear missile launch from the continental US, doubting that the US government was responsible.

They'll just delete the bad reviews after the initial PR storm subsides. Various big apps have been "caught" in the past doing it. Apparently if you have Google's ear then everything is possible under the table.

This also reminds me of the famous BlizzCon where they announced Diablo Immortal -- where the Chinese exec infamously exclaimed (after the audience started booing): "Do you guys not have phones?" -- when the dislikes of the videos reached into dozens of millions and Google has reset the dislikes, several times in a row.

So yeah, these things do happen and will likely happen again.
I believe your confusion is insincere.

There's a difference between someone being banned for stating the fact:

> Jewish people have dramatically disproportionate income, wealth, and power in the United States. They're eager to levy that charge against White people, but they don't allow White people to levy that charge against them.

... and a deeply powerful, monied Israeli group getting banned for hacking into innocent people's phones and computers both for blackmail and for profit.

> “On the one hand, there’s this sense of ‘Play stupid games, win stupid prizes.’ There’s a natural inclination to think not that they got what they deserved, because no one deserves this, but that they have some culpability because of the choices they made.” He went on, “When you have that intuition, you have to try to push it aside. You have to say, That’s a moral judgment which is outside my role as a doctor. And because it’s a pejorative moral judgment, I need to do everything I can to fight against it. But I’d be lying if I said it didn’t remain somewhere in the recesses of my mind. This sense of, Boy, it doesn’t have to be this way.”

Why not both?

Yes, it is a judgement that is outside a doctor’s role, and as such, is not one they should be actively making.

But it IS a judgement that SHOULD be imposed in some manner.

To remain unvaccinated comes down to either one, and typically both, of two highly destructive pathologies that run distressingly deep in western society: cultivated ignorance and “muh rights”.

It is very much like the Montessori schools, albeit a different curriculum than any I've seen. I would have been fine being in a bubble. In the school system I went through, I was in a ditch. I would ace all the tests but fail my classes for lack of interest and not seeing any benefit to what I was being taught. I am very stubborn and strong willed. This had no real impact on my life beyond being a waste of time. Again, just my preference. I would have loved being in a school like Elon created but that is just my personal preference based on how I know I learn. I see the current school system as a low quality baby sitter.

I disagree, "punk" is not about dystopia, it's about rebelling against the status-quo. Solarpunk, at its core, is about rejecting our current way of life. That's where the punk comes from.
The data layer in a 3 tier architecture isn't necessarily anemic either.
> There needs to be an aspect of dystopia to use that word.

Hard disagree. I think "punk" has always been about an ethos that individuals are empowered to make change from the bottom up. The punk aesthetic stands between dystopian and utopian. The former says those in power have made everything horrible and there's nothing you can do about it. The latter says those in power make everything amazing so there's nothing you need to do. Punk says those in power made everything horrible but you can make things amazing.

Once your Rcpp code is compiled, it's almost indistinguishable from base R (when you're calling it). All R functions eventually end up calling R primitives written in C, and Rcpp just simplifies the process of writing and linking C/C++ code into the R interpreter.

The only difficulty with Rcpp-based R packages is you have to ensure the target system can compile the code, which means having a suitable compiler available.

Pyodide still involves writing JS (literally). Brython just needs you to know the simple basics of JS (since the syntax is similar), and you're good to go with pure Python from there on.
You can actually debug the code you write because you get a real stacktrace, not few frames that shows the underlying implementation.
I agree in an ideal world where it's easy to get time to prioritize optimizing something (whether it's performance tuning or refactoring). Even in the most mature organizations, getting that time to do non value-producing work is challenging and so seemingly premature optimization is a pragmatic tradeoff.

The NP encapsulation diagram is so interesting. From someone who took a few theory classes, but not a ton, it's very interesting and mystifying. One day, I hope there can be some sort of proof for P vs NP, one way or the other. Mostly because it's a problem that is relatively understandable, but crazy to think we don't have an answer. The idea that P=NP would be an incredible proof to see (or watch someone dissect) because (from what I remember from my algo class) that means that all NP problems can be traced to some root problem that can be used to solve it. That root problem would be an incredible thing to see.

If it wasn't obvious, I'm not very knowledgeable on this topic.

Poor Norway.

Yeah...probably not.

The article is poorly written and jumps to conclusions on a number of facts. Even the intro is just a jumble of random abstract thoughts like this:

> Also there are famous scientists agree that NP=P. Hilbert, a great mathematician of the twentieth century, has a famous saying: we must know; we will know. It can be seen that Hilbert essentially agreed that NP equals P. Many mathematical problems in human history, including Hilbert's famous 23 mathematical problems, are constantly being solved. Isn't it a confirmation that NP equals P?

If they agree that NP=P, and not many of them do...but if you can't prove it then you can't just say because some people think it is then it is.

If you are worried about a threat that is that niche, and will almost certainly be patched soon, you shouldn't be using any messenger, logically speaking.

It's a little more complicated than that in Cloudflare's case. The debate isn't really relevant to AWS/CloudFront or anyone else, but Cloudflare has famously had a policy of not kicking off any customers as long as they abide by US law. The CEO publicly identifies as a free speech absolutist. (Malware/phishing/etc. is still removed, since it's illegal.)

The CEO publicly broke their policy on this on two occasions: the neo-Nazi website The Daily Stormer, and 8chan. In each case, only after a long saga played out.

For The Daily Stormer: after they mocked the deceased victim of the Charlottesville rally, Cloudflare received public pressure to boot them but refused, and then the owner subsequently tried to troll them/the public by claiming Cloudflare executives secretly supported their ideology, causing them to finally be removed. (https://blog.cloudflare.com/why-we-terminated-daily-stormer/
)

For 8chan: Cloudflare received a lot of heat for not removing them after the first and second incidents of posters becoming mass shooters, eventually removing them after the third mass shooting. (https://blog.cloudflare.com/terminating-service-for-8chan/)

I forget the term/aphorism for this (like "double-bind", sort of), but they put themselves in an awkward position because they're probably one of the most neutral service providers out there - still far more than probably anyone else to this day - but by marketing themselves as 100% neutral, being only 99.99999% neutral created lots of lasting negative PR that people still regularly bring up.

Any other company would've kicked those people off way sooner and there would've been little to no publicity, because they routinely do such things, but now Cloudflare is hated by both the pro-censorship and the anti-censorship crowd. (See: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cloudflare#Mass_Shootings and everything below. It's quite a rollercoaster.)

From the paper:

> The difference of an attribute value between any group of individuals in the objective world is usually in the same order of magnitude as the absolute value of an individual attribute. For example, one adult weighs 100 pounds, and the difference between a very fat man and a very thin man is also 100 pounds. Similarly, the weight of an ant is in grams, and the difference between a big ant and a small ant is also in grams. Of course, these are not strictly proven conclusions.

This seems... peculiar?
