Msan has a nontrivial performance hit and is a problem to deploy on all code running a performance critical service. Static analysis can find some issues but any sound static analysis of a C++ program will rapidly havoc and report false positives out the wazoo. Whole-program static analysis (which you need to prevent false positives) is also a nightmore for C++ due to the single-translation-unit compilation model.

All of the big companies are spending a lot of time and money trying to make systems better with the existing legacy languages and this is necessary today because they have so much code and you can't just YOLO and run a converter tool to convert millions and millions of lines of code to Rust. But it is very clear that this does not just straight up prevent the issue completely like using a safe language.

It‘s Reinforcement Learning. In each state, the agent can choose from a set of actions. This leads to a state transition, and the agent gets a reward which it can use to adjust it‘s policy. A policy is just a conditional probability distribution over actions, given a state p(a | s).

There are many possible deductions, however a lot of people can’t/shouldn’t use them because of the large standard deduction. The question is how many people file taxes which are basically W2 plus standard deduction? My bet is quite a lot.

Something like that. The biased locking is an overall a software fix for a hardware shortcoming, notably CAS being slow (and need for a fence on the read part, but that's pretty much free on the most of the hardware nowadays).

Lack of biased locking could be quite detrimental to CHM wide use. OTOH it'd mean a smaller header/memory footprint, which is nice.

I do the same for another major city, but I actually work for the dept and crunch more than just homicide numbers. Assuming poster isn’t with a dept or maybe city gov, Honestly it’s not that exciting to be on the outside crunching murder numbers. Me and op work in similar jurisdictions, and he seems to have a good grasp on his stuff, so I hope he’s working with the dept.

It’s MUCH more interesting to get a job with the dept as they let you run wild on all their data from fleets to police locations, investigations, digital stuff like facial rec etc. most depts need good analysts too in beleaguered cities so go against the grain and join up, you’ll love it. Not to mention the security and benefits. Lot of my work revolves around holding cops more accountable that to me is the most interesting stuff, not crime analysis.

Just had a meeting yesterday where the majors were asking me how our team can figure out what aspects of a detectives investigation leads to the maximum likelihood of case closures and identifying the largest factors for example. As much as Twitter/nonprofit/outsider crime analysts have access to open data, some stuff you gotta be on the inside to access let alone move the needle vs. just reporting analysis to followers. Highly encourage anyone reading to consider…

This kind of thing comes up in deciding how to round floats as well. If you always round up or round down, the errors accumulate linearly.

Floats use round-to-even [1] to prevent this, although even that method accumulates error proportional to sqrt(number of ops).

Exactly. The half-cent coin was discontinued in 1857, when it was worth the equivalent of 15 cents today. At this point, not just the penny, but also the nickel and dime should be discontinued (and there should be $1, $2 and $5 coins to replace the paper bills). Everything below the quarter is functionally worthless in normal quantities, and even quarters only serve as laundry tokens.
Looks like all US 5-cent pieces minted since 1916 (aka, the buffalo nickel) have almost 6 cents worth of metal in them (75% copper, 25% nickel). Source: https://www.coinflation.com/
Now more than ever we need surveillance camera man (https://www.imdb.com/title/tt13587614/, https://youtube.fandom.com/wiki/Surveillance_Camera_Man) to return. By directly associating a human with the surveillance he allowed us to see what people's true reactions are to being passively surveiled: very, very angry and confrontational.

People hate being surveilled, but they can't quite make the connection that there are humans behind passive surveillance due to the abstraction. Surveillance camera man reveals people's true feelings.

Unfortunately youtube has repeatedly deleted his videos over the years and we are currently in such a period: https://www.youtube.com/c/SurveillanceCameraMan/videos . Luckily vimeo has at least one of the 1 through 8 videos: https://vimeo.com/98862974

> Stockfish claims they haven't released their NN weights. But that claim makes no sense. They distribute the weights with every copy of Fat Fritz. Otherwise, the product wouldn't work

There was a comment addressing that yesterday
https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=27901876

The form matters.
Those two are not comparable at all.

One is a multinational corporation with untold influence which hoards exploits for black box software and hardware.

The other is a producer of physical weapons, which are subject to laws to protect civilians - although of course where these laws apply is hypocritical, since the West's weapons have been used to kill many civilians during all the 'peacekeeping' missions by the US (read: interventionism).
Was just about to comment the exact same thing before I read this.

So much, so much yes.

>> 3. Stockfish claims they haven't released their NN weights. But that claim makes no sense. They distribute the weights with every copy of Fat Fritz. Otherwise, the product wouldn't work.

Shouldn't you check this assumption before making three comments based on it in one day?

For example, try reductio at absurdum: "Microsoft distributes the source code of their OS with every copy of Windows. Otherwise, the product wouldn't work".
The implication is that this clause doesn't apply. Maybe it took more than 30 days to cure the violation, or this wasn't the first GPL violation.
I think this is the real point about Perl code readability: it gives you enough flexibility to do things however you like, and as a result many programmers are faced with a mirror that reflects their own bad practices back at them.
I have only asked for one refund, which was clearly the result of a bug on Amazon's part, and they haggled the whole way. They were quick to a 50% refund and slow to a 100% refund.
SQL Injection is a good lesson here. How is it mitigated effectively? By telling devs to write code carefully? No. It is mitigated by prepared statement libraries that are structurally resistant to SQL Injection. Similarly, "here are some static analysis tools - try your best to write safe C" is not a winning move.
I don't think you understand how unreliable or easily fudged indian data is. Just during the pandemic, there are good reports of individual indian cities reporting more COVID infections than entire states with the population of a Germany or Brazil.

Indian data on deaths is so bad that deaths not being registered is par for the course. Your entire comment is built on the flawed assumption that data from dysfunctional countries like India is directly comparable to data from the west. It is not. A single death going unrecorded is highly unusual in the west. In India, not only do most indians die outside the hospital system but between 2 - 7 % of deaths are simply not recorded.
Almost all german Clubs, be it sports clubs or musician corps have a "firmly embedded drinking culture". Though it's different with the Freiwillige Feuerwehr.

Sounds similar to cloud gaming, where you run the resource intensive game/app on a cloud server, stream the inputs to it and stream the display back. The UI experience would depend heavily on having consistent low latency, which is hard to achieve for many.

> and tools.build, tools.deps, tools.cli are aligned with this mission.

No, they are neither simple nor easy. They make new project setup un-necessarily hard, they make builds un-necessarily hard and complicate stuff for both newbies and intermediate programmers. Only experts with tools.* may be comfortable with this and I have seen these experts actually copy sample template `deps.edn` for new projects and use long complicated aliases.

For both simplicity and ease-of-use this should be done by a tool and not a human.

When I recommended some friends to Clojure, they stopped after getting stuck in deps.edn. Clojure setup feels more complicated than C++/Java/Kotlin/Python project setup nowadays.

I wish Clojure would use Rust's Cargo for inspiration.

`cargo new --bin projName` and open the folder in your editor/IDE of your choice.

There’s nothing quirky, loveable or wild about school massacres and an aggressive, poorly trained but hyper-militarised police force.

Your “oh shucks, we can’t help it because… well that’s just who we are!” message exacerbates the false notion that positive, widespread societal change isn’t impossible. Which benefits certain people, not least of all gun manufacturers flooding the country with high-powered weaponry.

I did not mean to and perhaps not being a native English speaker affected how I interpreted it. Sorry if I offended you here.

I do still think that entities (especially nation-states) which want to surveil dissidents will not be overly hindered by their technical expertise or lack thereof. If anything, I expect that the presence of high-profile politicians on the list will finally spur some serious research into defensive measures. Proliferation of offense begets proliferation of defense in a mouse-and-cat game after all.
Here in the Philippines, filing tax returns are not a problem.

If you're an employee, your employer does it for you.

The employer just deducts the tax owed by each employee, and pays it to the government every quarter.

The total tax amount owed per month may vary from 10k USD (10 to 20 employees) to 20K USD (20 to 50 employees).

But the catch is: If the taxman is corrupt (highly likely), and the officer-in-charge of the remittance of such withheld taxes is also corrupt (not improbable), do not expect that the full tax amount will end up in government's coffers. Both parties will pocket a "small" percentage of it, per quarter, every year.

This scenario is highly likely for offshore companies, where the real owners are outside (e.g. US, Europe) and there's a "trusted" individual (or group of people) that does the "administrative" stuff for the company.

Crazy.
Macos sources /etc/paths.d/ instead.
Does anyone know why this is the case? Genuinely curious.

Who gives a flying toss. Pretty much every city on earth has a ubiquitous monolithic shopping centre. It doesn't mean shit. Nor does a big football stadium (and how does "considering" building a stadium "change" a city?).

If a machine is too weak to run an app compiled to native code, how is downloading a JS version and running that any better? If anything, it would need more RAM and more CPU, not less, apart from the additional network bandwidth.
I thought it made a good point.

I remember Microsoft introducing an early AI in a game and they made it a young boy. This seemed like an artful/deceptive attempt to take advantage of human biases to make it seem more inpressive than it was.

Which is fine, up to a point, for showbiz, but probably not ideal for wider applications.

I'm not sure if this technique has a name but I see it more and more like "<unhealthy thing> has more <good quality> than <healthy thing>". They're not lying but they are taking advantage of human biases to very specifically talk about a minor truth to distract you from the overall truth.

"Rinsing your recycling (in water heated by electricity generated by coal) generates more carbon than the recycling saves". Again true, but carefully crafted to make you think the opposite of the truth.

Notably, no evil, mustache-twirling villain is required for this. The people who make boring, reasonable assertions will be automatically filtered out in favour of the people making wild and sloppy claims that appeal to people's biases and when they get caught out they'll be replaced by another similar person.

But a few villains will intentionally take advantage of it too.

> It's not about having guns, it's about proper training and not giving weapons to psychologically unstable people.

This, so much.

In Switzerland there is a culture of responsibility about shooting rifles and guns. If you are gun aficionado, you are a member of the local "Schutzenverein" (Markmen's club). If you're not, people will get very suspicious. For the most part, these Schutzenvereins take care that their members are properly trained. And even though there are very young markmen (and markwoman), as young as 12 years old - they are introduced to a long and continued tradition of gun handling; they are taught that guns are weapons and not toys.

And by the way; every little village has it's own Schutzenverein.

I wish something like this existed in the USA.

They are free to have them of course, nobody ever argued with that. But don't pretend the monolithic shopping centre is "world heritage". It's very simple - it doesn't look anymore like it was 30 years ago when it qualified.
I agree that the form matters. But what exactly does Stockfish want? It's not clear even to me, as a student of ML, what it means to release NN weights. Does it count if they release fp16 weights? Those are often used for inferencing, but not for training. Do they have to release optimizer state? You normally strip that from checkpoints, since otherwise it'd be a gargantuan checkpoint. Does it need to be loadable via pickle? Torch? Tensorflow? Is it sufficient to just dump the weights as one bigass binary blob that you can load with numpy.frombuffer? (How do we know that there isn't such a file in Fat Fritz 2 already?)

I don't know; I want to agree, but this is fraught with peril.
Certainly it was not a good thing for anyone non-white that wanted to immigrate or was already a resident - I'm not sure what part of my comment implies otherwise.
