Everyone grew up conditioned by a different context, and every generation has their idiosyncrasies. I'm sure millennials and gen-z folks have things that are humiliating to them which older folks would roll their eyes at (say, something that happens on Twitter or in a video game). I'm not meaning to criticize you; just saying it's good to remember that each person has their own story shaped by the environments they spent time in.
while your heart is in right place, Govt should not be allowed to single out a particular asset class from retirement. they should rather be in business to regulate and minimize fraud in that class. if crypto is out the so should gold etfs be.
I never made the assertion JS is 50x faster...

But everyone knows it is significantly faster than Python. Probably at least a few times for pure JS vs. pure Python programs. Not that it matters, Python is basically glue to run mostly C and C++ programs.
Well the problem was politics, not technology. The ideal place for the plant was elsewhere, but politics got involved and the site was moved for political reasons.

Using Design to Connect Us – The Loneliness Lab [pdf]
A much simpler way to put this is: What if I explicitly want a smartphone with a platform where all third-party software has to follow the platform’s rules? iPhones will actively become worse for me if third party app stores are allowed.

Or perhaps even more simply: How does making the iPhone platform more like the Android platform somehow give customers more choice?
Sad to say but this thought has struck me too.
Automobiles were very much the same. When they first started coming out, you really had to be a mechanic to own one. Autoshops/garages weren't a thing in the beginning. PCs were the same way. These days there's tons of auto shops and PC repair shops. You don't need to know a single thing about how a car or PC operates, you just take it to a shop when it has problems and have someone else fix it.

If an individual wants to learn, they only need to pop the hood, look inside the machine, and check out tutorials and videos on youtube. Plenty of people grew up with computers and never learned a thing about how they worked, they'd just have someone else who knew about them fix their problems.

We weren't forced to learn about them or had to, we chose to. That choice applies today as much as it did 25 years ago when I had to have my dad fix my computer for me. I just happened to want to learn how he did it and how to do it myself.
>The problem is that the consciousness bestowed on us is just barely sufficient; if we are to achieve inner freedom, it is necessary that we become more (much more) conscious than we generally are. If men and women learn to occupy their own inspirited beings fully and freely, Fromm posited, they will gain self-knowledge and thus no longer be alone: they will have themselves for company. Once one has company one can feel benign toward oneself as well as others. Then, like a virus that had been stamped out, humiliating loneliness would surely begin to wane.

Oh, hey. Furries.
Hm, I thought I looked for them and didn't find them.

Reading again, yup nothing there. Just some generalities.
There are 2 programs there that are 50x faster in JS, other 40x, other 35x, other 16x, a couple 7x, not sure what are you arguing about.
>Generally speaking, I don't believe there's enough good information out there such that I can have a real idea of 'what's going on' outside of things directly in my life and community.

That's a pretty extreme epistemological stance to take. I can't refute it (I've personally gone down that road before), but I also don't see how one can hold that stance while also identifying with any political position at all and believing that they have solid justification for it.

>Did you believe it when they said inflation was going to be transitory?

Did "the media" say this, or did they report that that's the government's position on the matter? Has inflation proven to not be transitory?

>How about when they had back-to-back headlines that Powell 'saved the economy' and that 'Billionaires quadrupled their wealth during the crisis'?

The only place I recall ever reading that Powell saved the economy is WallStreetBets memes. Regardless of that, is the issue here that these headlines are contradictory?
I'm very curious as to what part of that process is not explained by the principles by which we understand neural networks to work.

I invite the possibility I've gone this long misunderstanding the definition of "principled" in this context.
"However, an enlarged liver helping someone process alcohol better sounds bizarre to me. I thought a liver being able to process alcohol faster was due to increased enzymes since the body again is trying to balance itself and is dealing with what is being introduced by upping certain enzymes, whereas in a non-drinker, those enzymes wouldn't be at elevated levels."

You are correct, in fact an enlarged liver could be a sign that you are less able to metabolize alcohol. "To this effect, the adaptative increase in alcohol metabolism observed in chronic alcoholics disappears in patients with advanced liver disease." [1] Liver enlargement is a sign of liver disease. I guess that's the sort of mistake you will encounter when reading posts regarding biochemistry / medicine on hacker news.

> I guess you could argue that it's possible for someone to start at 1500, then really suck at chess and drop to 900, and then merely become average again (1500), and claim a 600 point improvement.

This is showing some pretty serious misunderstandings about ELO ratings. 1,500 is absolutely not the starting point. When you first learn Chess, your rating will be low hundreds (like under 500). It takes a decent bit of practice to work your way up to 1,500, at which point you are already decent. 1,500 is roughly average among people who play Chess competitively. You certainly don't start there. 1,800 means you're good enough to beat most players at an average low level local tournament.

Sense of community. I used to have the belief that being an anonymous donor, giving money to charities quietly, was the right and noble thing to do. Then there was the Ice Bucket Challenge and I realized that an individual donation is nothing compared to the multiplying effect that comes from having others within your community and network join in, and that requires finding creative ways of signaling your donations to others. Some find it distasteful to signal this, but the problem is that the end result of signaling donations is so much more effective that it's worth it.

Joining a community of people who also pledge to participate in charity and promote charities to one another could be a way to eliminate the distasteful part of signaling to others that you donate to charities. It can also work as a way to integrate charities and donations as a routine part of your expenses and budgeting.
If immunity is what people cared about, shouldn't we just do antibodies test instead of a blanket vaccine on all? Some people double vaxxed still present low antibodies. Everyone's biology is going to react differently.
But not all for the same reason. Part of them think FB is evil because they only care about engagement and profits regardless of the outcome to society. And the other part thinks FB is biased and is censoring conservatives and pushing too liberal of an agenda.
For people living in the Arctic, ice and snow define the physical geography of their lives for over half the year and navigating that geography was/is essential to survival and recreation. Different kinds have different properties and different dangers to consider. Having distinct words for them is like saying mountain vs hill vs mesa, or river vs stream.
I asked myself how a 63 year old would recognize a childhood friend on the street. My assumption is Sheila found her on purpose, because she had lived her whole life with this burden of regret, and wanted to apologize. I have a similar burden, and occasionally try to look up an old friend, but his name is too common.
Depends. Dynamos can also provide a nice little 5W charging system for USB accessories. If you're touring on a bicycle, a dynamo is a nice thing to have, and if you have it, you may as well power the lights with it. Also allows incredible lighting design since there doesn't need to be any significant battery storage in the lighting unit itself.
I want the opposite: mandatory PTO.

Every employee gets 4wks minimum. Each quarter, if you have not taken or planned (reserved) any PTO, then PTO is automatically scheduled for you.

Not so much the food, but I am heavily addicted to Coke Zero. I tried on Monday to quit it after a 2 week focus to prepare and I failed within 2 hours. I have previously quit nicotine for example so it's blown my mind why I can't handle stopping this simple drink.
Do you have an article about that? I would be interested to learn more about it.
Network Address Translation (NAT) has the side effect of ignoring incoming connections that do not match an explicit port mapping.

A firewall will block any incoming connections unless explicitly allowed.

Basically the NAT happens to overlap a bit the job of the firewall as a side effect of how it works. In practice NAT and firewall are implemented by the same system. For example look at iptables on Linux.
Basically pigeon hole or bucket sorting https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pigeonhole_sort which, as another commenter mentioned, are types of non-comparison sorting so you can get near linear times

I think the mainstream sorting algorithms tend to cater towards "mainstream" ordering which tends to be somewhat sorted versus purely random. An example is https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Timsort

Do you honestly think that iPhone customers will be more satisfied with iPhones if iPhones are required to support third-party app stores and/or sideloading? I find it impossible to believe that this could make customers happier. It is almost certainly going to result in more malware and user tracking, more bugs, more fragmented processes for finding and paying for apps, more user-hostile in-app purchase and subscription behavior, etc.

As an ex-avid cyclist and have built quite a few bicycles. I've seen plenty of new chain mechanisms, new derailleurs, hub gears etc. and tbh all of them have the following problems:

* Shimano is ubiquitous. You can go into almost any bike shop and get something which is Shimano compatible.

* Most bike mechanics have Shimano spares on hand and know how to fix it.

* Shimano gear just works together for the most part, especially if it is the older 7 and 8 speed stuff.

* Shimano stuff is ridiculously reliable. I've seen bicycles that have gone for years without any proper maintenance and it keeps on working.

The current designs of the derailleurs are about 40 years old at this point (I know they have been around for over a century but the current designs have been around since the 90s) and I've seen many companies attempt to re-invent and it never heard of after a few years because the current stuff we have is relatively cheap and extremely good.
Is your point "Never trust WFH contracts/policies because they will be amended!"?

The article may be misleading, but if employees who were told they could WFH forever now are told to come back that is a change of policy that WILL affect employees. I don't care if you are saying that no one should have moved, there will be people that left. Hell, I work for a much smaller company that didn't state WFH forever (WFH until we tell you to come back, no idea when that will be) and we have had hundreds of people relocate that have stated they will deal with that problem when they ask us to come back.
I find it kind of funny that majority of uses of FPGA is indeed to implement a simple CPU (basically a programmable state machine), and the problem at hand is then solved by writing a program for it.

Networth: $3.5m USD

Most of my networth came from investing inheritance and gifts from family. I didn’t separate their contributions from my person ones unfortunately, but I suspect on my own, I’d be at around $800k NW. I have received about $1M in gifts/inheritance that has appreciated.

I also add about $100k/yr to my savings from my employment.

This situation has made me pro-“Tax the rich”.

What you can learn from Facebook's outage
My hunch is that the monumental amount of work to make virtualized GPU support and zero-copy hardware accelerated graphics work from WSL2 to the desktop (a technology called "VAIL", which hasn't shipped yet) is in order to support Android apps on Windows, and that's always been the goal of this team and a series of high profile projects.

WSL2 is actually the third iteration of this technology, not the second, and I believe has the same original goal and they've dedicated a large amount of engineering effort to that goal.

Here's my case:

Windows 10 Mobile had "Project Astoria", which involved working with app developers to port apps to Windows Phone. This involved library support and translation layers to enable APKs to run on Windows.

WSL1 abandoned the approach of requiring developers to modify apps, and used "pico processes" with kernel driver and Windows kernel's support for alternative subsystems to Win32 to map Linux syscalls to Windows equivalents. This enabled binary compatibility for most apps, but fell short.

WSL2 switched to the lightweight Hyper-V integration (now using the host compute system APIs to manage lightweight containers/VMs) but added deep driver integration with graphics to enable machine learning and hardware accelerated graphic workloads to work within Linux using vGPU drivers and RAIL respectively. And soon VAIL, to enable full fidelity graphical applications (i.e.: Android apps) to run on Windows without compromise.

That's a lot of engineering time on 3 high complexity projects over a span of at least 6 years, publicly.

That's not really a question in a legal system in which judges are removable by a ministerial decree. The judiciary that has ruled this has been installed illegally and is literally pressed into making judgments made by the party elite - regardless if they make sense or not.
Android has the same problem where they drop apps that don't target an API version released in the last 5 years or something. After losing all the apps I bought on early versions of iOS and Android it really soured me on buying anything so I haven't bought an mobile app in years. Photoshop CS2 still works on Windows though!
Users expose their model to our Trial API (https://docs.determined.ai/latest/topic-guides/model-definit...), the base class then implements a training loop (which can be enhanced with user-supplied callbacks, metrics, etc.) that has a whole bunch of bells and whistles. Easy distributed (multi-GPU and multi-node) training, automatic checkpointing, fault tolerance, etc.

Concretely, the system is regularly taking checkpoints (which include model weights and optimizer state) and so if the spots disappear (as they do), the system has enough information to resume from where things were last checkpointed when resources become available again.

As a controls engineer who has integrated dozens of automated manufacturing cells, I have to say: none of the salespeople I interact with have buzzword densities this high! As nbzso mentioned, the higher you climb the less oxygen there is...

There's definitely a need for some kind of simplified programming that's understandable at different levels. Simplest is for an operator, then by a maintenance technician, by a line engineer, by a controls engineer at an integrator (like me), and by applications engineers at manufacturers and distributors. The operator needs a minimal number of adjustments - this part number might have a harder material and need to run at a reduced speed, or be highly porous and need more adhesive dispensed. That kind of hour-by-hour adjustment is typically custom-built into an HMI by the controls engineer. The tools themselves need to be debugged by maintenance techs, the robot code on a teach pendant or the ladder logic in a PLC are those languages. Hopefully, the maintenance tech doesn't have to touch the structure of the program, just some of the conditions or values for certain steps. Programs increasingly expose data at certain parts of the cycle to external databases. That's the "4IR" or "Fourth Industrial Revolution" or "Industry 4.0" component, or just a spreadsheet export, depending on your altitude. T
Whether that data is analyzed in Excel, an MES dashboard, or a Python script depends on the consumer.

There are DSLs at all levels, none of those people are writing assembly language. But "No code" proponents typically remove too much flexibility to the level of the implementor of the product, far removed from the end user.
Romney's was in a regular IRA. He delayed taxes. Withdrawals are taxable as regular income. If he was really smart, he would have done it outside his IRA and paid the taxes on the lower capital gains rate.
> You said the medieval equivalent of an index fund, which tracks the economy. The economy grew faster than gold.

Yes, but they still own shares in specific companies. Investing in an index fund is not the same thing as investing in GDP.

> Obviously there was no index fund, but no one in medieval times tried to get rich by buying gold and sitting on it. They used other methods.

The point is that simply maintaining your wealth from pre-modern times to the present would be an incredible feat, that someone who simply hoarded gold would have achieved.
I'm a millenial and as I read this, I got a strong visceral feeling like the one you're describing but about you. Not you personally, but the narrative you just posted.

Do you really feel confident that millenials don't have any culturally systematic pettiness and arrogance? The social media generation, the neurotic depressed generation, the generation that has originated no novel politics... they are categorically more serious and more humble than the previous couple generations?

The minute details you point to seem essentially irrelevant, exactly the kind of thing that varies generation to generation as culture changes -- anachronistic, as you say.

Putting automatic emergency braking on a bike would be wildly dangerous and just completely stupid. When you have limited traction available it's often safer to steer around an obstacle instead of braking. Automatic braking would be likely to throw the rider off over the handlebars.

Garmin bike computers support turn signals with dual rear lights but I've never seen anyone use that feature. If you're turning near other traffic then you have to slow down anyway so sticking an arm out to signal isn't a problem.

A lot of riders already have multiple battery powered devices including bike computers, Di2 shifters, headlights, tail lights, power meters, radar, etc. But battery powered devices are expensive and heavy; many cyclists don't need or want some of them. Some people never ride at night and don't necessarily need lights. Bike computers and lights which support the ANT+ standard have automatic lighting.

The better bike computers have GPS tracking, anti-theft alarms, and support rear radars. Most bikes don't come with a computer because they're expensive and cyclists prefer to choose their own. If you buy a bike with accessories from a local store then they'll be happy to assemble everything for a nominal fee.

This is just me taking a guess, but one benefit to him setting a real salary and donating the money back is that for the purpose of credit checks and consumer loans (e.g. a home mortgage for a primary residence), he can qualify for appropriate amounts. It also appropriately models what's happening: he's paying himself a "market salary" (in quotes because his market value is probably much higher than that, but I'm speaking relatively to a "stipend salary" here) and he is working full-time on the project, but donating back the portion he doesn't need to spend on disposable income (due to his own personal frugality). Actually quite an admirable way to do it -- hopefully he has figured out some way to not suffer extra taxes from that setup.
