Unsigned integer overflow is well defined. And because of this, you see worse performance when working with unsigned integers in many cases, because the compiler needs to stick instructions in there to catch overflow at the appropriate width. It cannot just use hardware flags because that 32 bit unsigned integer needs to wrap correctly on both 32 bit and 64 bit machines.

Thus the word "efficiently" in my comment. By requiring weird and almost certainly buggy behavior to be defined, you require the program to behave more like an interpreted program, with associated performance costs.

> older people seem to feel obliged to answer the phone

Haha I don't know if the generalisation holds true, but one time me and my daughter were Skyping with my mother and my mother's phone rings and she picks it up and starts talking, we found it rude so after a minute or two (my daughter was doing a puzzle) I told her to just close the laptop.

My mother never did it again while Skyping, but she still feels a strong need to answer ringing phones.

I don't really feel obliged to open the door for people who ring the bell, but I would find it rude if they could see me ignoring them. I do close the door again pretty freely if someone tries to sell me something at the door.

So what am I? Half old?
I think the example is inadequate.

ITER alone has absorbed about as much investment as the entire Manhattan project, in inflation adjusted terms. That’s just one project to produce a prototype reactor. Fusion has been very heavily funded, to lots of hype but very little evident progress. Sometimes throwing money at a problem just isn’t the answer.

I disagree; I think it is fundamentally an empirical argument. The source of our convictions should have no impact on their validity, which is the realm of morality. In doing so, rationality does not seek to disprove emotions, which would be nonsensical, but rather to justify and contextualize them by understanding the competitive pressures that gave rise to them.

In other words, the idea is that in understanding the game theoretic strategy that our brain is executing when we feel things - "get where it's coming from" - we can bring our emotions into harmony with our conscious beliefs, and either support our unconscious brain in its emotional reaction or reign it in where the evolutionary context is no longer valid.

(I'm not sure where you're coming from with "theological.")
If the average one bedroom apartment in Manhattan costs 3.5K USD a month, and the average one bedroom apartment in Queens costs 2.5K USD a month, the average one bedroom apartment in Queens costs 1K USD - less - than the average one bedroom apartment in Manhattan.

This is such a horrible practice. You're creating mountains of extra work, and encouraging devs to delay integration testing, which is certain to lead to cycles of rework. It also only 'works' on toy features. When you're building a complex feature that requires a few weeks of work and a few devs, it quickly breaks down, and further prevents early QA testing of the new feature itself.

Unfortunately this practice is often forced on people by reliance on the horrid SemVer scheme, which only makes any kind of sense for 3rd party dependencies, but is foisted on internal dependencies as well by many idiotic package managers, like Go mod or NPM.
The assumptions don't hold in reality, but the myth of them holds in the minds of people doing the hiring, and that is enough.
Lived in Tokyo in the 80's as a teenager. Game centers where the place to be after school and meet kids from other schools. Loud places, usually close to train/subway stations. Games where between 50¥-100¥. Some game centers offered free melon soda. My game center was managed by a young and friendly Chinpira(low ranked Yakuza).
I have always understod "positive feedback" as "feedback that prompts the existing change to continue in the same direction, with equal or larger speed".

So positive feedback on a falling signal would tend to make it drop more. And positive feedback on a rising signal would cause it to rise more.

So, basically, for any signal S at time t, we would expect something like S(t+1) = S(t) + S'(t) * k, for some k > 0. And blatantly abusing derivatives for "should probably be a delta between S(t) and S(t-1)".

Your conclusion made me chuckle: 5-10 years isn't very long to get to a mass produced general purpose robot that's useful; and as Elon said they already make all of the components necessary - including aggressively working on AI including for visual systems - so they arguably only have refinement left and edge cases to figure out next - not a small feat but puts them 10+ years ahead of anyone who will try to copy them re: engineering talent, manufacturing, etc.

As Elon has said people are generally terrible at exponentials, and so majority of people can't see or understand the economies of scale and synergy between everything he's doing - and the compounding effect that has on reducing costs and increasing speed of scaling - which then also compound with each other.

>sometimes the problems just too difficult for no reason or required an insight nobody would ever find, expect by accident

Sure we can learn some techniques and the way we approach things may let us tackle problems in a way that is more likely to work.

And yet I find it baffling that sometimes formal education wants a student to reach by themselves a conclusion that the brightest minds of mankind had a hard time getting there by themselves.

While spending a fraction of the time thinking about the problem, of course.

If you are meant to reproduce the way to the solution (having studied the method already), that's one thing. But if you are asking some student to come up with some bright idea that people spent years without being able to get it? Now that seems a little too much.

What you need to realise with respect to this is that it is not a judgement about whether or not the information is important or valid, but about whether or not it merits inclusion in Wikipedia.

One can disagree with their goal, but their goal is not to be a repository for all the worlds knowledge, but to be a summary of attributable, notable knowledge.

The problem is not citing out of print inaccessible paper journals, but about only citing that, and not citing secondary sources that helps establish notability. If nobody has talked about the primary source elsewhere, that means it likely does not belong in Wikipedia. Your out-of-print paper journal cite is useful to allow people to (with some effort, to be sure) verify the facts of the article, though.

One of the downsides, I feel, about the prominence of Wikipedia is indeed that people fight over inclusion in Wikipedia rather than accept that many things belong in other datasets instead. E.g. descriptions of possibly important overlooked research would be valuable. I have my own little collection of papers that have had little direct impact that I personally believe should have, for example, and I wish I had time to write about them.

Windows Forms and WPF both work with .NET 6. They only work on Windows right now though.
I don't think it's a small extent at all. The idea that confidence/charisma is a good thing is at the heart of global entrepreneurial culture. It has become so deeply embedded into people's mindset that they don't even realize that it's a bias. They think leaders need charisma in the same was that you need oxygen to breathe.

It's quite crazy though because so many charismatic leaders have turned out to be frauds; e.g. Elizabeth Holmes of Theranos, Adam Newmann of WeWork, Trevor Milton of Nikola, and countless smaller examples which most of us have experienced personally in our own careers. On the other hand, many of us have seen or experienced the effectiveness of more modest critical thinkers in leadership roles. Jeff Bezos himself admitted that "[people who were right a lot of the time] were people who often changed their minds."

Confident people don't change their minds because, in most settings, it projects a lack of confidence.

The first exam type tests what you are expected to have learned. A good student can assume that they can solve every problem and get a close to 100% score. Each problem must therefore have a small solution that is easy to find without any special insights. That requirement alone limits the applicability of such exams to confirming that the student has a sufficient understanding of the topic to continue to more advanced topics.

In the second exam type, even a good student can't assume they can solve every problem within the time limit. They have to prioritize the problems based on how easy they expect them to be. The exam tests not only what the student has learned but also how well they understand what they can do and what they can't. The same can also apply to other types of assignments. For example, even a good student can't assume that they can solve every homework problem before the deadline.

The third grading approach is usually used for most important works. Under this scheme, the highest grades are reserved to those who do something exceptional. No matter what the expectations are, if you only meet them 100%, it's not sufficient for the highest grade.

As an example of the third approach, when I studied CS, our department gave the highest grade to only around 1 thesis in 100. There were no set criteria for the highest grade, except that the faculty had to agree that the work was beyond what one would expect from an excellent thesis. It was something not even a smart determined student could expect to gain, except by accident. Even the theses that got the highest grade were rather unexceptional in the grand scheme of things. Except the one that described an OS that runs on billions of devices today. That's the proper bar an undergraduate student should aim for if they want to guarantee the highest grade under this grading scheme.

Quite the claim. As usual we have the 'look at the very first prototype' its not actually perfect therefore its fake and nothing but marketing.

The Boring company is series and they are doing all kinds of things. Saying they are not series is disrespectful to the engineers that work on those machines.

I tried. Discovery has some interesting things going for it, convoluted and epic plots, high budget action, etc. But it's marred by overly saccharine and forced scenes, characters that become caricatures of themselves and what they represent, etc.

Tried Picard as well, its selling point was Patrick Stewart but they had to bolt on a lot of stuff to sell it - injected nostalgia with characters nobody knows yet but they portray it like they go way back, and forced nostalgia that does not advance the plot with some old TNG cast. And a forgettable story. They tried to make something new with an unremarkable cast, then boost it with forced nostalgia. It didn't do it for me. I mean funny to see some of the old actors again, but they already played that card with some of the films that take place after the TNG series. They should have let it rest.

They should have let the whole franchise rest, for that matter. A recurring trend is recasting and reinventing Spock over and over again.

I think legalization would also provide a lot of safety. Not only because there is stuff that shouldn't be in there, today's weed isn't comparable to that of the 60s and I don't think that is good.

It has been cultivated for yielding extreme levels of THC. It isn't just some weed anymore that induces a small high, it is extremely psychoactive an can easily cause psychosis. Problem is you cannot really determine how much THC you consumed. Your are either stoned or stoned, so high dosages aren't really needed anyway.

I think with legalization you could limit these values to more healthy values again.

That's absolutely not the issue. The issue is an economic system that prioritises what can be readily produced and consumed, rather than the most degrees of freedom that can be created. Whether in terms of general purpose computing devices, or education that maximises individuals capabilities, skills and life satisfaction.
The Confluent.Kafka one, the AWS .NET SDK (though this is improving), the old MySQL one was really bad.

My impression from reading the code and GitHub issues is that they're not maintained by real ".NET people" who are plugged in to all the fine details and best practices of the framework and the runtime.

StackExchange.Redis is a good example of one that is independent of MS but still very high quality.
Seems like less a problem of 'elite overproduction' and more a problem of relying on hiearchies when a society reaches a level of success that you begin to create many exceptional people.

Maybe in some societies it's time to start working to break hierarchies and cease training people to operate within and climb them. It's time to redistribute the wealth, because if we don't the 'excess elites' will rationally hoard it -- leading to civil unrest and ultimately collapse.
As the other commenter noted, my mistake to count 2002-2012, rather than 2003-2012, but the point still stands. There is a notable deceleration trend in the past decade and you can even visually inspect the chart to see it. After the record melt in 2012, you see significant deceleration. Note from 2016-2018 there was virtually no loss at all. 2020 was below average as well. And 2021 will be even further below average than that. It will show sideways or near sideways movement for this year.

Interesting design. Normally 80/20 aluminum extrusion is a bit wobbly in CNC machines, but if it's secured to granite epoxy a lot of that flex goes away. The linear rails aren't great for handling high lateral forces, but might be enough for lightweight aluminum and plastics.

I have this issue with certain Emacs commands. I don't know if this will work for you, but here is what I've done to mitigate that loss:

I use a permanent marker on a 3x5 index card, and write the command and key combo in black, and then a very "simple" explanation in blue. For instance, "SWIPER SEARCH" "C-c C-s" "inside files". or "DEFT SEARCH" "C-c n d" "across files".

Those index cards get pinned on my home office wall above my main monitor screen. Seems to help a bit for me, not sure if it would for other folks.

Stay-at-home parenting being unpaid work is not an "attitude," it's a fact of life. The leverage that abusive wage-earners have over their "non-employed" coparent is pretty strongly tied to their respective affluence. This isn't a "left leaning" problem. It's a problem of poverty, lack of education, and a lack of society's willingness to pay parents to stay home and work there.

I'm pretty sure that infrastructure to pay parents to stay home counts as "socialism" which is vilified by the right.
That’s polemic. In reality we know the situation is more subtle. For example news outlets do in practice write stories that are critical of their advertisers. Many write stories that are critical of themselves.
I'm not sure if this is what the article is trying to get at, but here's a concern I have about models vs data: algorithm choice and hyperparameters.

I'm no expert but I've trained a few models, and I think there's a fair bit of manual tuning that goes on to maximize accuracy.

So in terms of the model vs data dichotomy, could we be optimizing
for models based on biased data now, eg lack of labeled black faces in image recognition, and later once we fix the data, the model will still underperform on black faces?

I did a simple transfer learning project based on a model that had trained on an enormous data set, and my understanding is that it worked because the lower layers had "figured out" how to look at edges and contrast and such. But could those lower primitive features be biased so that even with more, new, training data, the model won't work so well? (e.g. focusing on contrast, which might not work as well on darker faces).

I think this all depends on a sort of "build a model once and retrain on new datasets" approach. Is that how it works in practice? Or is the model re-tuned, architected, etc each time there's a change to the training data? In that case since the model is effectively tied 1 to 1 to the data, I'm not sure it makes much sense to draw this distinction between model and data, right?
Everyone has different preferences; for me, the first few seasons of Enterprise were so bad I never bothered watching anything after the introduction of the Xindi (except the time travel to alt-WW2, which I kinda regret wasting time on), and likewise Into Darkness was so bad I didn’t bother with Beyond. However, I have enjoyed Discovery, even though season two was 50% “what if Borg under a different name only even less competent than they were in Voyager?” and the elevator fight in season 3 was even more nonsense than the elevator flight in The Final Frontier, and I’m kinda done with stories where one magical child accidentally breaks all of civilisation even though it’s well within the realm of Trek cannon wibbly-wobbly-subspace-nonsense since the first Traveller episode of TNG.
