The best comparison for NFTs I heard was the comparison with buying a star or a piece of land on the moon.

There are multiple providers that sell you various areas of space. But in the end it’s just a piece of paper that grants you nothing. Yes you can brag to your friends that you own a giant piece of land on the moon with earth view but not only is that pretty useless it also doesn’t matter ever. Because if the moon is ever colonized you won’t be able to claim the said land just because some private company said you own it.

When talking about NFTs I often hear that somehow ownership rights are attached to it. Which is only true if the rightful owner of the art explicitly states that ownership is defined by “whoever has access to the private key”.

Email: ajeelahmed1998@gmail.com

I just recently graduated(<1 month) with a Bachelor's degree in Computer Science with a focus on Machine Learning. I am looking for jobs that would allow me to work with people who are well versed in the field of Machine Learning Engineering or to an extent Data Engineering. Although I am a recent graduate I consider myself a quick learner and my passion to get my hands dirty in data ensures that I would perform my jobs with due diligence and interest. My communication skills have been praised by my peers and my ability to work under pressure ensures that the task gets done no matter what.

I am also open to paid remote internships if the conditions are right. (As I am relatively inexperienced, I would really appreciate any kind of advice or feedback that would help me get better as an ML Engineer and as well as a human being.)

I also have experience in building MERN stack web apps and mobile applications using React Native but I'd really prefer something Python and ML based.

Thank you for reading.

>Also don’t forget about dark pools and other tricks done to suppress the price action that are done shamelessly behind the scenes.

can you elaborate on this? What tactics were used, and how did they "suppress the price action"? Moreover, how do they compare with "let's screw over hedge funds by driving up the price of a stock!"? AFAIK buying up stocks in a shorted company isn't illegal, but intentionally doing so to cause a short squeeze is, eg.

>In 2012, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission charged Philip Falcone with market manipulation in relation to a short squeeze on a series of high-yield bonds issued by MAAX Holdings. After hearing that a firm was shorting the bonds, Falcone purchased the entire issue of bonds. He also lent the bonds to the short-sellers, and then bought them back when the traders sold them. As a result, his total exposure exceeded the entire issue of the MAAX bonds. Falcone then stopped lending the bonds, so that short-sellers could not liquidate their positions anymore. The price of the bonds rose dramatically.[16][17] The short-sellers could only liquidate their positions by contacting Falcone directly.[17]

> For a static type system it makes more sense to think of a type as a set of supported operations rather than a set of values.

It really doesn't. 'any', 'unknown', 'object', and 'dynamic' are all 'top' in type systems (the type that is the super-type of all other types), they hold the set of all values. The fact a language assigns additional semantics based on their name is just sugar over the underlying type system, the type-system can live quite happily without names.

But even then, you could consider the name of a type a 'discriminating tag', like in discriminated unions. So, something like:

type Top = Any a
| Unknown a
| Object a
| Dynamic a

The same type, but with different states depending on the semantics of the language.

How?
I see these things and while interesting they are just a lab curiosity.

From the paper:
By tuning the phase delays of each waveguide at each layer of the directional coupler mesh and the coupling region’s effective optical length using heaters it should be possible to achieve an arbitrary unitary transfer matrix

As these phase sections are thermally tuned, they are slow and will have thermal crosstalk to their neighbors. While this is manageable it’s not exactly fast to create a new matrix transfer. Additionally, these devices drift over time and operating temperature. Changes over time are due to changes in local stress that cause refractive index to change. So this device as published has no ability to put the MZM bias into a known state and keep it there. Drift is a part of working with photonic devices and even when temperature controlled (very inefficient) they still need compensation. This compensation is the difference between a lab device and something that could be commercialized.

Furthermore such devices have what we call parasitic reflections. When the phase is adjusted, the parasitic reflected phase is also adjusted creating an error in the output. For an analog computer that can only look at amplitude any numerical resolution would have to be coarser than the size of these parasitic reflections.

This is just the tip of the iceberg. Yet none of these papers ever address these problems.
The difference between a type and a set is often formulated by saying that types are "intensional" whereas sets are "extensional," meaning that the definition of a set imposes a constraint on what objects are qualified to be set's elements, while the definition of a type imposes a constraint on the operations (including construction) that can be performed on objects of types involved.
Not Too Cool to Rule: How One of Nvidia’s Most Coveted Products Measures Up
I've just finished the book Bad Blood about Theranos fall, and this strikes an eerie chord. Whistle-blowers armed with courage and nothing more due to aggressive legal intimidation.

Often, like in Theranos case, no one knows what goes on behind the curtain until it's too late.

Also I will check out karashi, thanks. Is it like wasabi where the traditional preparation is rare but there's a passable industrial simulation universally available?
Oh no way would I work on something like that but that's not the point. If multiple sources working on something with significant inherent risk tell me that THEY don't think it's safe, that's a red flag.
Addressing these disputes is what the GAO is for, and the GAO ruled in NASA's favor. Having read all of the proposals, from SpaceX, Blue Origin, and Dynetics, and statements from NASA, the GAO, and Blue Origin, among other materials, I agree with the GAO's conclusion. BO's lawsuit is baseless, frivolous, and vain.
DoH in its current implementation is just a tunnel using https to reach someone elses centralized servers that are using port 53 DNS. The root servers do not yet support DoH/DoT and I would be pleasantly surprised if they ever did.

I think I would consider whatever process they used to get hypothetical-me into their basement to be violence, but not their keeping the basement door locked or whatever is used to keep hypothetical-me in. (Possibly if I was actually in this situation my opinions would change, and I would conclude that what I’m saying now was mistaken. I don’t know.)

The point about a clear/explicit threat of imminent violence is a good one. Yes, we typically would call such a person violent, and want someone to deal with the situation.

Do we consider the person to be violent because we regard them as doing/engaging-in violence / “being- violent as-an-action”, or because their threats lead us to conclude that they are the type of person who would be likely to do violence, and therefore a violent person?

And many (most?) people do support direct violence used in response to an explicit threat of imminent violence. If they also believe that violence should not be done to people who aren’t doing violence, then that would seem to indicate that they consider an explicit threat of imminent violence to be doing violence.

So, it seems there are good arguments that suggest that “violence” is perhaps generally used in a way that includes imminent threats of violence.

Overall, my feeling is that it is probably kind of a borderline case.

Edit: also, yeah, my claim wasn’t on the basis of “because they aren’t so bad as to spend a majority of their working time doing it” so much as on “spending the majority of one’s working time doing that would be exhausting, and I’m not sure anyone is even physically capable of it”. (Well, someone standing in one place and repeatedly pulling a trigger on a gun for a total of 4.5 hours of each day is probably not exceeding a person’s physical limits, but that’s not the relevant situation)

> no user wants to fiddle with a merge UI or picking versions like with iCloud.

For prose text, what do you think about combining a document-scale CRDT, with fine-grained locking — e.g. splitting the document into a "list of lines/sentences", where lines have identity, and then only allowing one person to be modifying a given line at a time?

I've always felt like this was under-explored, given that in prose text it's almost always semantically incoherent for multiple people to be trying to change a single sentence in different ways at the same time anyway (i.e. they would each have a series of edits they want to do to line A to turn it into either A' or A"; but any result that's not either purely A' or A" will very likely be nonsensical. One could say that the A → A' transformation a user does to a sentence is intentionally transactional.)

I almost thought Notion would be a good example of this, but apparently not (https://www.notion.so/Real-time-collaboration-20a1873baf334d...) — they actually do allow multiple users to be editing the same leaf-node content block at the same time, and so have taken on the full scope of the CRDT problem.

> but I don’t want to force new clients to download the entire history nor do I want these big histories in my cache, so I end up wanting a hot/cold system; and building that kind of thing and dealing with the edge cases seems like more than 100 lines of code.

Yes, but these needs are able to be cleanly abstracted away on the backend — there are internally-complex infrastructure components (like CouchDB, or Kafka) that expose a pure CQRS model to clients, but internally are doing fancier stuff involving reducing changes onto snapshots and then exposing new CQRS streams that begin history with atomic "introduce all this stuff from a snapshot"-typed 'changes'.

There's also some convergent evolution happening here with non-replay sync strategies in blockchains (which can be more interesting to look at if you care about the serverless p2p Operational Transformation type use-case of CRDTs.)
