This is critical. Public policy cannot and should not be based purely on science. Science can give us hints as to how me might be able to optimize for certain things, but it can't tell us what things to optimize for. That's a question of values.

Third Generation ML Platforms and why they are more Performant
In any case, even if it's true, it's a detrimental clarity. The same way that nihilism doesn't really help you.

Yeah, we all are going to die and everything is pointless on the grand scheme of things, who cares?

Enjoy the ride, not the destination.
Irresponsibility and negligence are certainly sad but not very good reasons why people should be stripped of the ability to defend themself and their loved ones
Still, I think it's worthwhile research and engineering to attempt. Technology and techniques developed can likely be used to secure other types of systems.
You look for aim that is too perfect. E.g. humans nearly always overshoot their target before correcting, aimbots never do (unless they are trying to imitate humans)
Way back in 2003 or so, we at my old company InformAsic designed a single chip transparent VPN solution for serial communication (RS-232, RS-422).

The control and protocol handling part of the was a modified 6502 core with a sort of MMU and single cycle zero page registers. The whole thing was clocked at 33 MHz, probably making it the fastest 6502 in production at that time. Not that we sold that many of the devices...

As an old c64 scener, I really enjoyed being able to code the application SW using my favorite ASM tools. Though most of the code we actually compiled from C using cc65 and then hand tuned to fit the mem constraints.

Today a simple Cortex M0+ MCU (with internal AES core) would be able to do what we did, and probably be smaller and require less power.
I'm still playing PUBG, though just FPP, and rarely run into what is obviously a cheater - maybe once every two months? But while things have got better, you're right, when things were really, really bad it hurt the game's community terribly.

I do think that anti-cheat helps, if the developers are mostly engaged with it, but it's a long fight over a long time. Most of the strategies to do with 'ban waves' - ie, not banning cheaters immediately - are pragmatic concessions to that reality.
Ah, that makes sense. Yeah, clean breaks like this are definitely new ground for them and you're right that growing pains wouldn't be shocking to see.
No, that's exactly my point.

The bulk majority of applications people use today are not "thoughtfully designed with native OS controls". Sprinkling some ARIA labels around is better than nothing, but the experience itself is extremely limited and is not on-par with what those people deserve.

I'm talking about Javascript/CSS-heavy websites in a web-browser, computer games, or software such as Blender/SketchUp/Google Earth to name a few. ARIA labels aren't good enough here - we would need to develop an entirely different interface to accomodate for each individual accessibility scenario. You can imagine a blind person and a deaf person using entirely different versions of Blender, each built with a different interface accomodating a specific disability.
I don't think it's a question of "would", it's a question of "why", since that's what's going on right now. You can point to single player paid cosmetics as a profiteering aspect. Greedy executives who care about short-term quarterly sales numbers for bonuses and stock influencing maybe aswell? I wouldn't consider myself knowledgeable of the game industry, but that's one of my bets.

The Canadians do it with CANDU (Canadian Deuterium Uranium) reactors.

They are extremely (almost inherently) safe. They run on natural, unenriched uranium or any mix of uranium, plutonium and thorium that you have to hand.

Nuclear power is, in a sense, a solved problem. You can just make dozens of CANDUs.

There are a few dozen political issues with procurement and weaponization that made the safe, boring CANDU reactor a non-option for American politics. It's a shame.
The address bar is the search bar. My wife never types "facebook.com". She types "facebook", gets the google search page, and then clicks on facebook from there. It pisses me off that if I start typing facebook, Chrome doesn't autocomplete to facebook.com. In contrast, if I'm in Safari, and type "n" I get "news.ycombinator.com" autocompleted.
The absolute best review of what dopamine really does (mediate attention) and how that relates to the brain's function is this [1] writeup from Astral Star Codex on Predictive Coding.

against in this post.

What's wrong with being wrong? If we are to be honest with ourselves, we must admit that we are wrong about things, each and every one of us. We may be right about some things, but even those are for the most part incomplete truths.
Probably too much sunk cost at this point, especially with bigger companies who are deeply invested in SPA and developers who have only ever worked with React or other SPA frameworks.

Where I see it taking off are places which don't yet have a CTO you need to convince: early stage startups or small companies who need to move more quickly, reduce maintenance and bug overheads and don't have the cash for a multi-disciplined team.
The nazis didn't invent human experimentation.

Human experimentation happened in the US before the nazis.

https://www.buzzfeednews.com/article/danvergano/cruel-medica...

Also, we created the largest human experimentat during ww2 - hiroshima and nagasai which was used to test the short-term and long-term effects of radiation on a large sample size.

On aborigines before the nazis.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unethical_human_experimentatio...

On native canadians before the nazis.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unethical_human_experimentatio...

The pioneers of unethical human experimentation was the US and Britain. Germany came fairly late to the game. And unethical human experimentation continued long after ww2. You can look those up yourself.

Funny how we always have to look to the nazis for evil when all we have to do is look in the mirror. Nevermind we recruited nazi scientists to work in our institutions after ww2.

So I don't think your assertion is true.
> It's weird that Rand Fishkin has been in the marketing space for so long, but somehow hasn't encountered a single effective performance marketing team that measures their spend well and complements the efforts of SEO and social media marketers (like Rand).

I mean I guess he would know from personal experience? He hadn't been the CEO for a year or two at the time, but he was still very much the public face of Moz when they "asked 28% of Mozzers to leave"[1], who worked on products complementing SEO. They used various euphemisms, but ultimately it's because they made no money[2].

They could do that regardless. Anti-cheat already exists in many forms. They just don't because it adds work for little gain.
It's not obvious that it is gamed.

In the short-term these adjustments feel wrong. But at what point does a no-adjustment inflation measure stop measuring inflation?

Buggy whips and hats are not in current inflation measures. Long ago, computers and airline tickets weren't in inflation measures. When did "eating at restaurants" become enough of a thing that it became part of inflation measurement? Restaurants have existed a really long time, no? Ancient Romans had "fast food".

Zoom out and think about it. Entire product categories come and go from our daily lives. Is there any possible method for understanding "how much stuff costs relative to the past" that doesn't look janky in the short run? This is a hard problem.

FYI - there are 100 or more different CPI series that are published. The news reports on a single one - the one that applies to the largest number of people in the US. You may find that a different one is more applicable to your particular circumstance.
If you’re trying to focus and cars keep u-turning in front of you house all day, it doesn’t really matter what the exact number of integer minutes is.

They’re probably only testing during daylight business hours, so let’s say 6 hours a day, since the employees have to show up for work and get back to the office, which is brutally slow in SF rush hour traffic.

12 * 6 = 72 visits maximum at 1 per 5 minutes assuming 1 car, which obviously isn’t true. So assuming 3 cars due to the photo, 12 * 6 / 3 = 20 visits per car per day is all it takes to reach one every 5 minutes during most of the daytime work hours.

Clearly there are more than 3 cars in their fleet, so it takes proportionally fewer visits per day per car to reach 5 minutes. If their fleet is 36 cars, it only takes 2 visits per day.

I wish all "marketing documents" were this detailed. In other words, I disagree with you. I've read the blog post and it doesn't seem too high level. The resources you indicate are nice, but a 60-pages kubernetes hardening guide by the US Government is perhaps one level deeper than a blog post on internet.
For contrast, I once got suspended from the school computer labs for two weeks for the heinous crime of... running an unauthorized executable from a flash drive.

It was Rainmeter; I was showing it to a friend. The IT guy even was like "yeah Rainmeter's pretty cool, I read about it in a magazine". But it was auto-detected and school policy, apparently.
ah ok. Now that I think about it, not gotten the prompt in quite a while either way, so might have changed now.
> The feds sets the prime rate

No.

The Fed sets the target for the Federal Funds Rate (currently, as a range target, used to be a single rate target), which is an interbank lending rate, but don't actually set that actual rate (but it is usually very close to or within the target range.)

Currently, the actual Fed Funds Rate is 0.25%, the target range is 0-0.25.

The prime rate, a measure of available commercial rates, is set by banks lending decisions. It is pretty invariably higher than the Fed Funds Rate; currently, its 3.25%.

> if the fed rate goes to 5%

...it would be an enormous jump from the lowest its ever been to the highest since before the 2009 crisis.
That's pretty much why I added it! I've known a lot of scientists who fall in love with their research a bit too much, and some of our most important scientists have been pious Christian monks and Muslim scholars.

My point is that the central dogma of science is to be skeptical of existing thought and to update the model. The central dogma of most religions is to preserve tradition and be skeptical of challenges to existing thought.
I wonder how he makes money? If the said companies are in trouble or in bancrupcy doesn't that mean that their software doesn't present much interest to potential customers?
It is a complicated subject. I teach college and I try to include some media literacy. We tell them to be skeptical but then they say "you can't trust the media" but then they believe every stupid conspiracy that confirms their biases and then in papers they cite "google" because they can't be bothered to take the time to figure out where something actually comes from. (This literally happened in one of my classes yesterday.)
I get that it was mostly a joke. :)

The LAN controller used to make the Beowulf cluster would probably have more compute (and memory) than the 6502 itself.

The Intel cores in the linked article have a distinct L1 data and instruction caches inside them, and associated L2 caches, which makes a big difference in comparison to the 6502.
Completely and patently false. Amazon is literally copying and reselling completely unique designs/products after determining through their marketplace data that it would be worth their time to do so. They're using their own data to undermine the companies that they should be dealing with in good faith.

It doesn't sound bad when you're just talking about one product or company but we're not just talking about one.
Amazon has done this to thousands of products as part of a plan to use third party sellers as guinea pigs to see what products will sell enough to rip off. This is systemic anti-competitive behavior that is at the very least unethical if not outright criminal.

https://www.theverge.com/2021/3/3/22311574/peak-design-video...
The example given in the article seems very off-base: the author is vaguely planning to purchase some type of planner, and he gets an ad for a specific planner from a specific retailer. There has to be a pretty tiny chance that he would have ended up at that exact site without the ad, so if the ad does lead to a conversion, it's incremental revenue.
No tutorials to link you to, but there's significant overlap between anti-cheat systems and anti-virus/anti-malware systems, which makes sense when you consider their aims. Searching for academic papers about anti-virus approaches to dealing with networking, memory and filesystems will be helpful.
Why do you believe that “mental health issues” (very non-specific) is an entirely different beast? My family experiences suggest that information silos (my personal diagnosis of one of the root causes of disbelief of reproducible scientific findings) can and do create mental health issues similar to the parent’s SiL.
Good. It's a never ending arms race but the more developers are doing to make cheating hard the better. Nothing can destroy an online FPS as thoroughly as rampant cheating.
Yeah, I think the only on-brand search ads that should be allowed are ones for totally unrelated products OR those ads are placed below what on-brand search results would provide. Google has no incentive to fix this though because it's an extra tax they charge the entire online advertising space (+ all the other search providers do it). Carefully crafted legislation could put an end to this tax.
> Easy: code your game correctly and check for impossibilities server-side. But that costs money in development and infra.

Do you have any experience developing networked multiplayer games? I do it for a living, and it's not that easy, at all. In a situation where I shoot at your head on my screen, but you were already around the corner on your screen, what happens? This happens _all_ the time due to latency, and has nothing to do with development costs or infra. There's no way to avoid the problem when you have people with varying levels of connection quality, and different distances to the game server.

This will work for someone like eBay (people searching eBay want eBay) but for other "brand-name" terms it may NOT work - people searching for Travelocity or whoever is the hotness there may be perfectly happy with the first "similar enough" link.
If we imagine we're in a world where all cheaters are forced to use a physical device to cheat - that's a big win. Sure some people will still cheat but the number of players who would go this far and spend this much to do so would be vanishingly smaller than those who can download some sketchy .exe in an afternoon.
It's not just a big deal, it's a massive market. There are many people who will pay an enormous amount of money for custom written cheats, there are whole SAAS-style subscription services for different game hacks, it's... all a bit silly.

It's when there's a whole cottage industry around this that you know things are out of hand.
EA and Rockstar banned people from Battlefield 5 multiplayer and GTA online for having modded their single player games. Google for a few minutes and you'll come across plenty of horror stories and news items.

But of course the real reason they would love to prevent anyone from tampering with the game is so they can sell more single player cheats such as experience booster packs.
Bahahaha, their graph on the website adds up to 162%... 70% + 56% + 36%... But they only put the % after the 70 so is 56 and 36 percentages or what?

> But why companies keep trying to push new languages to massive adoption.

How many languages has this happened with and how often? Go, Rust, Kotlin, Swift, Julia, Typescript are in a generation of newer programming languages and they're between almost 12 (Go) and 7 (Swift) years old . Each of them offers something new in comparison to its predecessors. Almost every other commonly used language is from the 80s or 90s.

There are other, more niche languages but they fall under your point about research, experimentation, doing stuff for fun etc. Just because some language pops up in blog posts or on HN every once in a while, that doesn't mean that it has wide enough adoption.

Is any of this really that much? I don't think that learning a new language once every few years should be something that challenging especially for an experienced developer.
I wish I could upvote this enough times to get it to the top. This is the rational approach to any system of belief in which you yourself can’t reliably confirm or disprove the conclusions.
It's when those institutions lose credibility that things fall apart. If CERN came out with a press release tomorrow that said that actually the theory of relativity was wrong and the universe operates by newtonian mechanics, I would not only doubt that press release, but also everything else CERN put out recently. If a certain group started calling anyone who asked questions like "well how are GPS satellites so accurate" and "why does Mercury's orbit precess instead of being a perfect ellipse" was called a "science denier", well I would start doubting the credibility of that group.
I don't know man SUVs might be more practical. But, I find them to look boring and for all old people. Sedans and hatchbacks definitely have a more fun look to them.
This is just a facade. If GDPR will be enforced a lot of "data collecting" corporations will have no way to do business in Europe. But like in the land of the free, we have also corruption ( lobbying).
When people tell me to “trust the science” they are usually trying to convince me to a political point of view. Real scientists don’t say that during discussions about science.

“Trust the science” is a dismissive statement intended to terminate discussion/dissent and denigrate the dissenter as a simpleton.

I'm not sure about engineers outside US. I have noticed their never-ending job ads in local market, e.g. senior software engineer position for rate that rather lower mid-level devs get here.

Maybe pre-pandemic this was appealing for those who wanted remote position, but now there are plenty of other remote friendly opportunities.
That is like saying Scheme does not have exceptions, except in C, we have setjmp instead of call/cc. It is technically correct, but there is something more flexible that can be perverted into doing the same thing.

The competing ads will often say something like "Introducing [Product Y] which costs 25% less and is 10% less smellier than [Product X you searched for]"

If you've never heard of Product Y, you might be intrigued and click. Maybe you want something less smelly!

Well, bewaring human institutions is a universal lesson that more institutions should teach. That you got that lesson there only means that you got at least one good teacher.

That said, religion is based on the idea of worshiping a core idea, that shouldn't be contested, while science is based on the idea of contesting your core ideas, and never accepting pure belief. They are similar on the way that opposite things always have some similarity.

(Anyway, "the scientific method is perfect" is a very bad misquote of the OP. Believing your method is perfect is anti-scientific, you should be always on the hunt for a better method.)
