The biggest risk is that people will misinterpret your slides without your voice over, or that they get ignored because people have lots of competing priorities.

Without an NDA, you should only be sharing slides you're comfortable sharing with the world anyway. People can screenshot them, e.g. if they want a copy.

I would push hard for an opportunity to present the slides yourself so that you can give the context and respond to people's reaction. You are much more likely to move forward if you can be present vs. just providing the slides.

If you weaponize an exploit against US - especially US government - targets you jeopardize the military and intelligence alliance that keeps your country alive, not to mention the standing FBI warrants if you have the misfortune to enter the country, nor the forfeiture of your ability to use the world banking system.

This article just seems like unproductive, sexist speculation. We've all noticed that people use their phones extensively in public spaces, and there's been a lot of analysis of what that might mean. This article doesn't seem to add to that conversation.

For example, the author is dismissive of his sister's conversations with friends without considering why they were so important to her. Even if a lot of it is inane, the social bonds that were likely being formed were not.

Another unhelpful aspect is that it uses a false dichotomy between socializing online and in the real world. For all the author knows, all of the texting and messaging he witnessed was between people who see each other in person regularly.

The bigger issue for production in my experience is about packaging the right model with the right version. I don't think anyone has to do `module1.fit` everywhere, since `fit` would've likely come from the same source.

I always learned Gagarin was first into space first. Likewise, I learned Shepard was the first American and Glenn was the first American to orbit the Earth. (I always have to stop and think about Grissom, since the fire of Apollo 1 is the always first thing that comes to mind.)

Saying that someone has to orbit the Earth or do something while in space in order to be an astronaut seems like changing the definition. That would mean Shepard wouldn't become an astronaut for another 10 years. (Of course, then he would be in a very select group of astronauts, because he had walked on the moon.)

Unclear why it's "technically impossible" but from this Washington Post article [1] it sounds more like "prevented by business logic," at least according to their source:

> A person familiar with NSO operations who spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss internal company matters said Sunday that +1 phones are safe from Pegasus no matter where they are in the world. The system is programmed to block efforts to hack them, the person said.

> The person also said Pegasus can determine where a phone is geographically and block any efforts to hack a foreign-registered phone while it is inside the United States.

> But there is no way to determine the nationality of the user of a phone registered to a foreign system.

I understand where you're coming from, and agree it's a morally questionable stance. Not only that, also a foolish one, as the legalization of gay marriage seems an inevitability, like a domino-effect.

I too am puzzled by how denying somebody this right that in no way negatively affects him, is something to put your weight behind.

That said, it is private behavior. He didn't use company funds, express the belief publicly or acted in any negative way towards the LGBT community in the workplace, this is confirmed by Mozilla leadership, so not my take on it.

People are free to have any private belief or donate to any campaign privately, as in, this is well within the law.

The 'economic' argument simply doesn't work. Does the author think that every "tin-pot authoritarian" owns a poor country scrabbling in the unproductive desert for scraps? Of course not!

Literally one of the best customers of NSO tools is Saudi Arabia (SA), where money literally bursts out of the ground in the form of crude oil. The market cap of Saudi Aramco is 3x that of Apple's. Good luck making it "uneconomical" for SA to exploit iPhones.

I'll even posit that there is literally no reasonable amount where the government of SA cannot afford an exploitation tool. The governments that purchase these tools aren't doing it for shits and giggles. They're doing it because they believe that their targets represent threats to their continued existence.

Think of it this way, if it costs you a trillion dollars to preserve your access to six trillion dollars worth of wealth, would you spend that? I would, in a heartbeat.
I mean, you could say the same about guns, automobiles, table saws...
I would go to that restaurant!

I don't love the membership fee - it seems a wrong to me to exclude the people who see $55/year as a barrier, but I LOVE the no-BS aura of Costco's employees. At Costco, more than any other store I've been to, I get the impression that you must be respectful to the staff if you'd like to continue shopping there. Maybe the membership model helps enable this, as the store could revoke your membership if you cause problems.
The golden rule is: use -Werror for Debug builds, so you catch and fix all warnings during development. That's fair enough.

But never ever leave -Werror enabled for building in Release mode. You'll be preventing your code from building as soon as a new compiler version goes out. Maintainers or code archeologist will have a much worse time than if this option was simply disabled to start with.

These are skilled restaurant jobs, they don't advertise with signs. Same reason there isn't a "help wanted" sign for my job. It is a social market. There were shortages already before COVID in Seattle, but now the shortages are extreme. Restaurants are reducing opening hours and days.

I have friends working these jobs. The consistent pattern is that they are only working the minimum number of shifts required to pay their bills, and they live pretty cheaply. You can't staff the restaurants when all of your employees only want to work 1-2 days a week. They could easily work more hours, and did before COVID, but are choosing not to now. And because restaurant work is extremely flexible and available on-demand, it makes their life flexible.

Many people have adapted their lifestyles to having less money and not working, especially with the generous unemployment benefits. Restaurant workers I know fall into that camp. My SO was receiving $75k/year on unemployment during COVID and turned down jobs paying $125k+ because they discovered the unemployment benefit was sufficient for a lifestyle of doing nothing that they were happy with. Not likely to take a job anytime soon either.

As a tangential observation, while I know many people in this position, none of them is doing much with their newfound free time. Just kind of coasting.
I think it is not as simple as counting the number of postulates. The ultimate arbiter is physical reality and that decides whether removing or adding postulates is what brings you into agreement. The fact that the quantum state in some equation before wave function collapse looks like many worlds say nothing whether you should take this at face value or whether you are missing an additional postulate that gives you only one world.

If you argue that the collapse postulate is stupid because it is non-unitary and therefore in conflict with experimental evidence, then sure, I totally agree with this. But just because it is an additional postulate it does not per se make many worlds the better theory. Relativity without the constant speed of light is also a theory with one fewer postulate but it of course in much worse agreement with reality.

The problem with the interpretations is that we are currently unable to distinguish them experimentally which unfortunately adds much more personal preferences to the discussion then there should be.

This.

I moved to Canada from Aus right at the start of covid - which made meeting new people without my existing networks already challenging. I fell into the trap of being so cautious of who I’d speak to, instead of working on building my networks and asking for help (particularly from people who seemed to want to help). Surprise - I didn’t make anywhere near as much progress as I had planned.

So that being said - if anyone has know how building for iOS/swift (specifically AR Kit) and is interested in working on a fun project (or wanting a side project) - reach out! I’d love to chat and/meet new people particularly on this side of the world.

If you wanted to make this quantum, one is red and the other is blue only if you're looking for a red ball when you stick your hand in the bag. If you're looking for a purple ball when you stick your hand in the bag, then one is purple and the other is green.

I’m 31 and I’d wager I’ll be able to go to orbit for $10k or less (in 2021 dollars) in my lifetime. I wouldn’t be surprised if it happens in the next 20 years. I would leap to do so :) Hell I would probably be willing to pay a bit more.

It’s not that cheap but many people go on vacations for a similar price every few years.

Of course, that is a step up from these sub-orbital flights. They are related though. Progress in sub-orbital tourism will help pave the way for orbital tourism and beyond.

| Search engines for papers suck, bad.

This screams the need for an intelligent search engine, with summarizing features that point out relevant parts of the paper, and (imho) a UI and algorithms that reach across disciplines and encourage discovery. So, for instance (I'm making this up), someone looking for a way to understand interferometry data might stumble on a useful regularization technique from image processing.

I imagine academic libraries would pay really good money for that. Of course, it would help if a mostly complete body of scientific literature was available to crawl--like SciHub.
They were too busy looking the basement for the permits that were "on display in the bottom of a locked filing cabinet stuck in a disused lavatory with a sign on the door saying ‘Beware of the Leopard'".
"So, sure, "good enough" security is possible in principle, I think it's fair to say "You probably can't afford good-enough security against state-level actors.""

I don't think so.
State level actors also have limited ressources (and small states have very limited ressources) and everytime they deploy their tools, they risk that they get discovered and anyalized and added to the antivirus heuristics and with that rendered allmost worthless. Or they risk the attention of the intelligence agencies of your state. So when that happens, heads might be rolling, so the heads want to avoid that.

So if there is a state level group looking for easy targets for industry espionage - and they find a tough security, where it looks like people care - I would say chances are that they go look for more easy targets (of which there are plenty).

Unless of course there is a secret they absolutely want to have. Then yes, they will likely get in after a while, if the state backing it, is big enough.

But most hacking is done on easy targets, so "good enough" security means not beeing an easy target, which also means not getting hacked in most of the cases. That is the whole point of "good enough".
Authoritarianism for authoritarianism's sake is pretty objectively bad.
It's not a mistake. Allocating that string on the stack it is not a bad idea. Most of the time the string will be short, and thus an allocation on the stack is faster.

Consider that in Linux a path is defined to be a maximum length of PATH_MAX, that is defined to 4096 bytes, and a filename (and directory name) shouldn't be longer than FILE_MAX that is 255 bytes. This limits are defined in the headers and I use them always in writing my C programs (if it crashes... you are doing something really wrong!).

So how the hell do you have a directory that is more than 8Mb? You shouldn't! The filesystem doesn't support it. It's a matter of the filesystem driver that should reject a path that long in my opinion.

Systemd should be fast. It's at the base of the operating system. Also it should consume little memory. You can say, who cares about allocating dynamically a string, or allocating a static buffer of 16Mb, yes we should care, I use Linux computer with 16Mb of RAM, total. Of course they don't run systemd nowadays since it's too big, but in my opinion systemd is good, and I would like to see it more in the embedded world.
Decriminalizing them is one thing, but what if I'm someone who doesn't make a habit of consuming random substances from strangers? I would rather them be well researched, responsibly sourced, and professionally prescribed.

> So? It doesn’t purport to enumerate groups that exist, it identifies groups for which it contends structural barriers in pre-existing approaches for which corrective measures are proposed. And those groups identified overlap Asians, though Asians qua Asians aren’t among them (the groups are Black, Latinx, and multilingual students.)

...is cold comfort.

> But since you raise that document, on the more substantive hand, it’s notable that a standard conservative complaint about common teaching methods allegedly encountered under “Common Core” standards (which is not a feature of the standards themselves) is present as one of the features of “white supremacy” in teaching against which the document is directed.

And what is this about American conservatism? I'm talking about whether Asians should go completely unmentioned in a policy document on racial equity for Californian math pedagogy. And Asians are not necessarily US conservatives, especially with respect to funding public education.

1) Canada is easy for immigrants with a degree and a job offer since it's a points-based system.

The historical reason is that Canada is underpopulated for its size. As far as STEM, a large percentage move to the US, so foreign STEM workers are needed.

In addition, Canada is doing a lot of PC/SJW activism today, so there's that too.

2) The easiest US work visa is the TN-1 for a Canadian citizen to work in the US. Note that it's a non-immigrant visa, so if you want to stay long-term in the US, you would need to do further immigration paperwork.
> I would be interested to see what GPT-3 could come up with if explicity tasked to do this type of re-phrasing.

First, this is definitely not GPT-3, see my other comment. However, as one would expect, GPT-3 is capable of all sorts of fascinating 'rewriting' tasks. GPT-2 could do summarization via 'tldr' but GPT-3 can so so much more!

I enjoyed "overcomplicated explanations" ( https://www.gwern.net/GPT-3-nonfiction#overcomplicated-expla... ) as the reverse of 'explain it to a second grader' ( https://andrewmayneblog.wordpress.com/2020/06/13/openai-api-... ) but it can also do memes ( https://www.gwern.net/GPT-3#navy-seal-copypasta ) and literary style parody rewrites ( https://www.gwern.net/GPT-3#literary-parodies ), as well as 'emojification' ( https://aidungeon.medium.com/introducing-ai-dungeon-translat... https://andrewmayneblog.wordpress.com/2020/06/24/open-ai-alc... https://arxiv.org/abs/2106.13884#deepmind ) or screenplay ↔ story ( https://andrewmayneblog.wordpress.com/2020/07/08/openai-api-... ).

I haven't tried but I would expect the literary style parody prompts to work just as well if you dropped in "alien robot" or something like that, giving you text style transfer.
> so this article's conclusions about the role of admin costs are... not particularly thorough

You seem to be in aggressive agreement with it, though. From your own calculation here, the per capita savings amounts to about ~10%, which isn't a whole lot given that peer nations pay ~50% less all-things-considered (and nowhere close to the 1/3 figure from the original reply). And that's if you were to zero out admin costs, which even among peer nations is impossible to do — it's a real part of COGS no matter what

The thesis and conclusion remains: Solving the admin cost problem hardly makes a dent (and don’t get me wrong, it’s certainly worth solving!). The lion's share of the variance in healthcare costs between the US and peer nations is in the price of healthcare, not administrative costs. There are a lot of reasons for this, and it's a whole debate in and of itself.

The database is good. It's large, well curated and annotated.

The UI is terrible, a sad relic from the MDI era. It's absolutely _not_ quick (you can constantly see it repainting, for example), search is extremely clunky, tools for match prep are awful, and it doesn't really have any good learning features. There's some vaguely interesting recent stuff like novelty mining but it's very limited (and why charge so much for database subscriptions only to make people do so much local eval?)

I dunno, I still pay for it because the database is nice to have, but I'm always astonished by its success. YMMV.

By the way, let me ask a couple of stupid questions about GPUs:

Do RISCV-style free GPU projects exist or would they be unviable because of some specific properties of the GPU nature?

Why even bother implementing actual rendering in hardware when you can just implement fast general-purpose calculations and use them to accelerate software rendering? CPU-based software rendering did pretty well for the first versions of Unreal and Half-Life, I imagine it could also make sense today if accelerated with something like CUDA.
