oh finally something that I learned a lot about :)

Such research is the area of computational neuroscience - one thing that such people do is try to model parts of the brain (or just a single neuron) with computers.

A Neuron (=nerve cell in the brain) is a very complex beast. In rough terms they work like this: They collect signals (electrical impulses) via their small appendages called dendrites. when the sum of the signals reaches a certain threshold a large electrical impulse is generated at the cell body that will travel trough its "output" appendage (called axon) that connected to another neuron's cell body or to its dendrite.

Neurons display a dazzling variety in all these parameters:

- In morphology, e.g. they can look like a pine tree http://www.scholarpedia.org/article/Pyramidal_neuron (I really recommend scholarpedia, also this article has a nice animation on how electrical impulses propagate) or like a sea urchin.

- it really matters where the cell gets its impulse from: A neuron stimulated near its cell body will be much more sensitive to the input than being stimulated far away.

- Their response characteristics are wildly varied too. Some give off one large impulse, some a quick burst of impulses. Some are preventing others from giving out impulses from stimulation (inhibitor neurons)

- This whole mess can be modulated with chemical compounds that are released by the body -- some make some neurons more sensitive, some less.

- Also we still discover every year some new mechanism that modulates how they function.

The issue is that this results in such a complex system that a modern PC cant even simulate 1 detailed neuron model realtime (these tools are open source, try them out! for example https://neuron.yale.edu/ ). Now we know that we're simulating things that likely do not matter (e.g. we don't need a neuron model that consist of 10.000+ segments), but we do not know which parts we need to remove to have a faithful simulation. Also we might simply simulate some parts wrong because our knowledge of the subject is not enough.

But on the upside we've reached some great things already, for example we know how our brain calculates from our head and eye position the orientation of the things we're looking at
All the replies to your comment seem like sales pitches that don't actually explain anything.

The difference between wireguard and OpenVPN is that there is no real negotiation between the client and server.

Connecting to OpenVPN can take several seconds as it authenticates you, figured out encryption algorithms, IP and route management. If the network or OpenVPN server hiccup, it drops you and you need to reconnect and renegotiate again.

Wireguard does not do this, the interface comes up regardless if the remote server is up. The client and server key have already been exchanged, the routing and ip are statically configured, so the server can just receive packets without any negotiation.

Clients are identified by their public key, so roaming and ip switches are seamless as well.

There actually is a very tiny amount of negotiation in that protocol has perfect forward secrecy, so the connection re keys every two minutes (hard codes time value).
I really don't get the feeling that iRobot uses Lisp anymore, and espeically not extensively. Most of their robotics software engineer jobs advertise C/C++. On the rare occasion I've seen Lisp mentioned, it was for a junior role and sounded like it was only to use the existing dialect (I'm assuming for older robots).

My gut feeling is that they have a dialect but no longer actively develop it and potentially no longer use it for newer robots. Plus, it's probably more of a C-like Lisp.

A lot of these companies on this list do not actively use Lisp or even exist anymore.

One company that is left off the list is 2Is Inc. They use Common Lisp for everything and actively do so.
Maybe you should back up and ask why you are limiting your search to those four/five companies?
Running a giant company with nothing but new grads is really asking for every project management problem ever discovered.
> This is so dishonest, it's unbelievable.

Not one word is dishonest. Please don't attack me.

Apple was not the first to market with a capacitive touch screen phone. LG Prada and others beat iPhone to announcement and launch. Apple won because of build quality and brand power. They fought so hard that they won 50+% of the American market, when there could have been room for far more players.

Steve Jobs focused on making sure Apple had a monopoly over the software executing on the iPhone processor. Devices that came before it were mostly open. The marketplace was Jobs' idea.

If Jobs had tried this with Mac back in the early 2000s, it would have failed. He got to do it with iPhone because he dominated the market.

It doesn't make it fair or right.
Apple has done a lot, and I remember it but this would have been a much more convincing argument if you also included why apple should be able to dictate what runs on a device I bought.

Your argument would also mean that HP, Dell, Microsoft and any other OEM or enabler of functionality should be able extract payment after the sale of a device is done. Should every computer program require license payment to the OEM?

I think people should be able to use what they bought as they want and need. The device manufacturer should not be involved post-sale unless the consumer wants it.

They're not that bad, uniformly. But they have a vocal cohort of people that had a bad experience. From what i see in my cicle, its not rare to have a bad experience, but its not uniformly bad. But often bad. It seems heavily dependent on manager and the team's combo of priority and funding and history of good/bad development (aka tech debt).

They have some good cultural points (easy to change teams) but also bad ones (bad on-call). So depending on your tolerance of WLB vs salary, and how good you are at shipping, you could have a good experience.
Empty String Considered Harmful
Yes, it is very easy to use and you don't need bottled gas, just the welding sticks. The only real downside to it is it doesn't work as well with thin metal, but for an equipment frame that isn't a problem.
The US Army and the FAA are two separate entities. The example in the article mentioned that a FAA facility manager might have denied escalation to use the buzzer, not the US Army.

Serious note, the tech sounds interesting and I’m surprised it’s on the mainstream market now. I wonder if any side effects will be tied to if.

This is only a single data point, but I recently went through the whole interview cycle with Google, Facebook, and, Amazon, and I thought Amazon was the toughest interviews.

I have friends that work at Amazon. It seems that work/life balance varies quite a bit among different parts of it.

True. I seemed to have missed that and came off a tad rude doing so. Part of my opinion is now in the mix. :-)
As a lay person in this area... There are more navigation systems around: The EU Galileo, Russia's GLONASS, etc.

Assuming it's unlikely that all system are down/jammed/compromised in the same area at the same time, receivers for multiple systems should be OK...?
(Again lay person here)
I’ll echo a bit what others say. I like the office.

A separate space, where I don’t pay for power, where colleagues can drop in on me, where the space is centred on peace and there are subtle conveniences like vending machines.

I like it.

But I’m not willing to commute 30+ minutes each way of my own time for that.

And I’m not willing to sit in one of those battery farm open offices.

Being able to control my own audial/visual environment has done wonderful things to my focus, productivity and mood.

I’m much less bitter as a person now, I know another person who is also perceptibly less bitter.
Can't even imagine how it feels to lose your wife. I lost my sister a few years ago to cancer. In the 6 months before her death I visited 3 times a week because I could work on the train, and cycle from the station. I'd work at her house, cook lunch and chat. Then I'd cycle to the train and come back home. Simply being there, working, and having occasional chatter was huge for her. Her husband still had to work (unlike tech workers, most people have to "be there" for work, and few can simply drop with because a family member is dying, slowly, over months or years). After she died, i continued making my journey, but this time I was doing it for him. Spending evenings doing absolutely nothing, just listening to music, playing with their kid, talking crap, having a beer. I did that for almost a year, until things started to feel somewhat normal.
If you're good enough for Facebook, Amazon, or Netflix, you're plenty good enough for Google.

Google of today isn't the same as that of a decade ago. It's just another megacorp.
I actually like working in my office. However.

My commute to the office is 10 minutes. We have actual offices with doors. So the whole experience is civilized and low stress.

My theory is what wrong with offices today has everything to do with managers need to exert power and feel in control. And things being run for the convenience of upper managers. They all live close to work, have offices with doors. None of this actually considers the companies bottom line. Seriously you pay an code monkey a shitload of money then have him work under the worst work environment short of running heavy machinery next to them.
Traditional vegetarian diets allow for eggs. Vegetarian and vegan mean different things.

Your extremist attempt to go from presumably a meat-centered diet to absolutely no animal products at all is not really a counterpoint to anything I've said.
>I wish this was true just a bit. Software goes away with the time almost like no other human artifact.

You might be surprised. Vernor Vinge's A Deepness in the Sky (recently discussed here) describes in some detail the job position of programmer archaeologist (<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Software_archaeology>).
That’s not true. What about fintech?
This is so very annoying especially in vegan restaurants. Why is everything called "Chicken" or "Beef" when its really gardein? I wish they would just call it ground chuck or something so its clear what you are being served. It's confusing even for vegetarians sometimes.
If the job looks good, apply. Becoming expert at interviewing is a real thing and improves your ability to navigate the process. If they don't want to pay what you're asking, then you've at least benefited by getting one more interview experience under your belt.
Yes that's even part of the verbal/written test. You have to calculate fuel requirements to different distances and they give you options that would be technically right but check to see if you pick the conservative approach in the event of this very situation. If you want to see how many people toss that knowledge out the window listen to some of the videos at VASAvation [1] and instead choose to land on freeways, city streets, farm fields, etc... Not all of them are due to fuel, but some are.

I'd assume a russian military plane would primarily use GLONASS. GLONASS has the advantage of being more resistant to narrowband single tone jamming because it uses FDMA rather than CDMA like GPS. The signals are also in slightly different frequency ranges.
Wait, what is the alternative to dancing grannies?
The more times you have to fiddle with something, the more opportunities you have to break it. It's compound interest essentially, and that can add up real fast. If you have 300 steps and by some freak coincidence, each step had exactly the same error rate, so that you lose N% at each step, then here are the overall yields:

1% loss: 4.9% yield

0.5% loss: 22.2% yield

0.1% loss: 74% yield

0.01% loss: 97% yield

You have to have an error rate in the range of X failures per thousand per step to get above 50% yield, and X/10000 for a really good yield. And all of these things are so small that a spec of dust causes failures.
> "Aircraft are greatly affected by the GPS jamming and it's not taken seriously by management," reads one report. "We've been told we can't ask to stop jamming, and to just put everyone on headings."

This is the military practicing, but I would hope that civilian airline transport operations are also robust to GNSS unavailability or denial. Even private pilots in little Cessnas are taught to navigate using radio-navigation (NDB beacons, VORs, etc.) in the event that GPS is not available. You should absolutely be able to turn your GPS off and get to your destination.

The fact that radio-navigation aids are being phased out in favor of GNSS, turning it into a single point of failure, is pretty concerning.
Collaborating with people who are physically in the same space is not broken.

Commuting an hour to do so five days a week is broken. I have been an office worker for 10 years and then fully wfh for nearly another ten. Neither is perfect, but I’d choose 0 days in the office over 5, and I suspect 1-2 days a week or a week per month would be perfect.
I'm sure hundreds of thousands of dollars were spent engineering this name
The question this raises to me, is what travel times is this accounting for?

There are more complex issues (taxes, school pickup, dog walking, local errands) before travel in a plane and rental car can't get you somewhere in 24 hours.

Pre pandemic some nycers had a 15 minute walking commute, others might grind it out for 2 hours each way in the northeastern corridor.
Working around expired root certificates
haha yes it is. The vast majority of people don't have that opportunity.
I agree! I cannot function in an open office environment. They are too loud, there are too many disgusting odors (e.g. food, body spray/cologne/perfume, body odor, halitosis, etc.), and there is too much movement going on for me to concentrate on anything. I also hate people looking over my shoulder. I'd be more productive working in front of a strobe light in the center ring of a circus with a clown banging his meaty finger into my chest and demanding I name ten fruits.
In my opinion, "bar raisers" often impede the hiring of candidates who could be good senior level employees.
Your comment has been flagged, but beyond that, I said nothing about being hesitant about the vaccine. I am vaccinated. I believe the mandates are flawed, largely because they don't take natural immunity into account. I have said none of the things you're accusing me of saying.
Instrument failures are rare and might impact a handful of aircraft; GPS jamming impacts every aircraft in the vicinity. ATC might have capacity to plan low fuel-consumption flight heading paths for a small number of aircraft, but not 100%?
Are you equally pedantic on the colloquial classification of nuts when a large portion of the "nuts" we eat are actually drupes?
Or fruit vs vegetable classifications?
Perhaps language is a tool used to convey meanings and ideas in ways that are quickly and concisely understandable. The "plant-based" insert_animal_food_name allows people to understand that this food item is meant to mimic an animal-based food item, except it's derived from plants.
From a practical standpoint, defining numbers in JSON to be "whatever double precision binary floating point does, or optionally something more precise" would have been good enough, and capture what we end up having anyway.

Still, I prefer Crockford's choice: that JSON numbers are defined to be numbers. Infinity and the flavors of NaN are... not numbers.

In an extensible data interchange format, like [edn][1], people could define conventions about more specific interpretations of numbers, e.g.

#ieee754/b64 45.6653 ; this is a double

We could build such a format on top of JSON (there are probably multiple), but I again agree with Crockford that this sort of thing does not belong in JSON.

Makes for a bunch of headaches, though, for sure.

One example is a data scientist I used to work with. He was working with lots of machine learning libraries that liked to use NaN to mean "nothing to see here." A fellow developer ended up writing code that used some sort of convention to work around it, e.g. number := decimal | {"magic-uuid": "NaN"}. I can see why some people are of the opinion "this is stupid, just allow NaNs." I disagree.

> Nor would you let them require that you spend an unpaid hour of your free time reading or doing professional development each week.

Depending on how you look at things, this may or may not be necessary to be done on your own accord in your free time to avoid your skills getting dated and irrelevant.

Essentially, you do have to keep up with at least some of the new developments within the industry to remain employable, especially if you don't have any of the FAANG companies on your resume.

While your employer might not necessarily expect you to do it, you might have to do that in your own interest, without getting paid for it.
I'm in Oaxaca, Mexico, and they've got a group of people dancing to a boombox in the park here. I've lived many years in Bangkok, and the same. Seems hard to pin it explicitly on the CCP.
The military serves the taxpayers.
Well the only reason military can own /pay for anything is because it takes our money in a first place. So unless there are specific security concerns civilians should be able to use whatever military tech they've paid for.

I'm a proponent of eating animals - and I don't think there's a lot of value in these fake meats.

But hear me out.

We eat too much meat and I loathe the industrial complex that supplies 'technically meat' - at the expense of it actually being good and the lack of welfare that brought that price down.
The average turkey is tofu-taste with suffering. Nobody should want this (and I genuinely don't see how anybody enjoys eating it).

On the converse, a grass-fed, heritage breed, 28 day aged cow rib-eye is amazing. Not cheap, it shouldn't be cheap, it should be a rare treat - is amazing, and I'm not giving that up.

What I dislike about the "tech startups selling fake-meat" is that they're treating us like fuck-wits.
#press-release Burger King is now selling our patty, only available at BK!!

I just meant that the world is full of amazing vegetarian/vegan food - homemade hummus, pitta and roasted veg. Might be my favourite meal. Few toasted pine-nuts chef's-kiss
Switch up to vegetarian and there's even more amazing choice and dishes.

What we should be pushing is that a felafel-burger is amazing. BK selling a beetroot coloured chemical concoction and telling us their customers can't taste the difference, is not a 'win'
Of course you should be prepared for accidents, but it's quite another to be so prepared accidents don't turn into emergencies.
>> In second year economics my prof would have failed me for such a basic conclusion.

This is a hilarious comment. You are saying that your economics professor would have failed you for making a claim akin to what one of these three Economics Nobel laureates claimed in a very well known, classic article in the labor literature? I'm an economics professor and I would be delighted to see work like this from an undergrad!

>> Now that's a negative effect. He made the assertion of NO negative effects.

What you and later studies have identified is that there may be heterogeneous causal effects across groups. There is a large literature on this topic!

>> if a study is so easily invalidated...

I'm not worried about this. You have not "invalidated" this study with five minutes of thinking!

>>> it's bad data (well, bad methodology from start to finish) because it draws a conclusion based on correlation between immigration and unemployment/wages

1. It is not bad methodology. That is literally what half of the prize which went to Imbens and Angrist is about. This is a methodology which permits making causal claims in the absence of an experiment!

2. It is not drawing a conclusion based on a correlation.

For more information about what they actually did and how it works (and this is a big interesting topic!) you might benefit from the Nobel Foundation's scientific background paper on this prize, here: https://www.nobelprize.org/uploads/2021/10/advanced-economic...

Is your grandfather on a VPN you share with him?

Is he on static IP?
What would be nice is a version that can be used to paint on the screen with your fingers, such that the lines are visible on a remotely shared screen. The use-case is marking up/highlighting on a normal desktop monitor (i.e. non-touch) while screen-sharing, which is awkward using a mouse or touchpad (think circling stuff in source code and documents, drawing arrows etc.). That would mean (a) a camera from behind (facing the screen), so that the fingers can touch (or almost touch) the screen (i.e. be co-located to the screen contents you want to markup), and (b) native integration, so that the painting is done on a transparent always-on-top OS window (so that it's picked up by the screen-sharing software); or just as a native pointing device, since such on-screen painting/diagramming software already exists.
My childhood Southern Baptist church (irregularly attented, around holidays visiting family) had a female pastor.

Eventually, the Southern Baptist Convention got around to noticing, and told them that wasn't allowed. They could either fire the pastor, or they'd lose SBC funding.

... to which the church replied that they were founded in 1804, liked their pastor just fine, and that the SBC could go have a talk with the devil, and take their money with them.

:) So yes, it depends on the church.
