While I would agree you don't really need to know or worry much about mathematical foundationalism to grok machine learning, anyone writing graduate level papers is going to understand some set theory since probability theory relies upon it. Even just the high school treatment tends to start out with intuitive visualizations of univariate discrete probability like defining a probability as the cardinality of an event space divided by the cardinality of a sample space, defining conjunction and disjunction as set intersection or set union of event spaces, defining mutual exclusivity as disjoint event spaces, and so on.

That said, there is probably no reason for anyone to dig too deep into theory without understanding why it matters first. And I don't think it ever matters if you're just trying to solve a problem with ML. Even if you want to overlay a solution on an image of a Sudoku puzzle, you don't need to understand why a particular algorithm works in order to be able to use it. Theory only matters if you're either trying to formally prove something works or possibly to guide you down more productive research paths in developing new algorithms, though honestly I'm not even sure that's really true any more. Just gaining a ton of experience with various possible techniques might generate intuition that is as useful or even more useful than actually understanding anything.

I almost hate saying that, as I have a deep personal love of math theory and think it is worth studying to me at least for its own sake, but this is sort of in the vein of whoever invented the curveball almost certainly didn't know much about aerodynamics and didn't need to. Discovering something does work may happen decades or even centuries before anyone figures out why it works.
Unfortunately, since there are more than 7B people alive on earth and several more billion people who are dead, it would be quite difficult to feature literally all people in the copy. So they, like absolutely every product marketing copy that has ever featured people in the history of everything, included the people for which the actual product featured is targeting.

Aside from that, you can also infer from the negative view that the copy is implying that other phones do not represent the nuances of all people, which is the reason that they said it to begin with.

But you knew that already, didn’t you?

Couldn't companies also use the 6 years that they employ a foreigner to train an American worker to fill the position?

The large tech companies are hiring thousands of software engineers each year and just want the best talent they can get. Maybe 75% of them hired to work in the US are US citizens. Sure, you can train new people, and they do train new people all the time. But you won't be able to get the same quality of software engineer if you restrict yourself to only US citizens - that's just common sense, adding more restrictions makes the recruiting job harder.

Now, the theory behind an H1-B is that you're supposed to be able to hire immigrants if they are bringing a valuable skill to the US. These immigrants are bringing a valuable skill to the US. It's just that the law imagines you have a single position to hire and doesn't make sense for situations like "we need to hire 5000 people with this skill set and there are only 4000 Americans that we could find with it".

What immigration laws should actually do is enforce that companies aren't underpaying immigrants compared to Americans. That will discourage companies that really only want immigrants so they can be cheap.

You could even add on a $10,000 fee per immigrant, paid by the company, to get the green card. That would make immigrants more expensive than US citizens, thus giving companies a financial incentize to hire Americans when possible. But for the large tech companies, who really are bringing exceptionally skilled people to the US, I think they would be happy to pay this fee instead of dealing with all risk and chaos in the current immigration system.
just as an aside, he's separately and also referring to the deal between UK and France where the French agreed to accept Greenwich being the Prime Meridian in exchange for the UK adopting the metric system.
>These things are relative to one another. The way you present your case that we are all underpaid is very absolutist

I didn't really disagree that "underpaid/overpaid is relative", I just used a different default frame of reference to you. One that made you angry I guess?

> and lacks the nuance that someone can be underpaid in the grand scheme but overpaid at a smaller scale.

This point sounds horribly confused to me. Earlier you said we are all vastly overpaid. Now we are both underpaid and overpaid? Depending on the scale of... something?

>I don't really have the time to adequately address every one of those reasons, so all I have to say is that if economics were that straight forward and honest then we'd have a lot more millionaires and billionaires.

I really have no idea what you're getting at here. It doesn't make any sense to me.

New crypto ETF is also right around the corner. There will definitely be futures on that.
you could probably fund this by selling some far out of money bitcoin puts.
"the quantities that they correspond to are called 'numbers'." is rather circular here no? You haven't really defined quantities or numbers except in terms of each other and yet at least one of these seems important enough to be called a mathematical concept that is distinct from a numeral.

Put another way, we clearly can distinguish many different numeral systems as referring to the "same thing." We can encode that "same thing" symbolically via a set of logical symbols to form axioms, but even there the same issue arises. Encoding the natural numbers via an embedding of second-order Peano Axioms in first-order ZFC or via a straight FOL Peano Axioms definition also seems to fall flat, as we still have not been able to capture the idea that "these are all really the same thing" since these are now different sets of symbols and rules. And we haven't even touched the thorny issue of what "encoding" and more generally "mapping" really means if everything is just symbols and rules.

But perhaps you are fine with infinite egress (which is perfectly defensible). The natural numbers have a more distressing problem when it comes to Godel's Incompleteness Theorems. There is presumably only one "true" set of natural numbers in our universe because the natural numbers have physical ramifications. That is for any symbolic, FOL statement of the natural numbers, we can create a corresponding physical machine whose observable behavior is dependent on whether that statement is true or false. And yet by Godel's incompleteness theorem we can never hope to fully capture the rules and symbols that determine these "natural numbers," and yet presumably most people would agree that these natural numbers exist and are a valid object of mathematical study. So how does that fit in? What do we call the subject that studies these objects? What do we even call these objects if not mathematical numbers?

(As an aside I'm perhaps more of a formalist than I let on, but I find the realist side a fun playground to explore in.)
I don't really have the perfect word here to describe this post, but it's essentially the intersection of projection/posturing and arm-chair analysis.
Not intended to be mean/personal, just an observation.

I get a sense rsj_hn is America due to how they vaguely point to "old morality", liberalism has its root in the Age of Enlightenment, which ironically enough was a reaction to the very stale and constricting status quo of an aristocratic elite whose rules was excused and exceptionalism compared to the common man/woman (i.e. it's okay for aristocrats to have a massive amount of wealth/decadence but not for anyone else).

Christianity was very "disruptive" in the west, since the original intention more or less from the roman's perspective was to have an institution closely affiliated with the elite/those in power to "control" the population, i.e. the catholic church.

Since before Europe was very much into their reformed-tribal polytheism (Asatru, Hellenism, etc.).

The ironic twist to blaming liberalism is that Christians themselves reacted negatively to this forced imposition, i.e. the protestant reformation, which was a reaction from the kings/queens that the pope should have no saying in how a king/queen should rule or start a war.

Hell your idea itself seems more compatible with the old tribal religions (pre-reformed tribal Greece had some very strict religious laws & for example believed that ancestors were tied to the land they settled on and thus you were not allowed to sell your land).

Lastly, liberalism itself has a foundation but it isn't "bundled" with decadence or with anything beyond its ethics and ideals, just like any other ideology.

Since otherwise please explain your logic over why then there is:

- Social liberalism

- Conservative liberalism

- Neoliberalism

- Classical liberalism

- National liberalism

- Country-specific liberalism (think Japan's Liberal Democratic Party or Constitution Democratic Party)

China's fight against "decadence" has more to with certain "ideals" Xi Jinping believes in (if you read his letter you'll notice he's quite nostalgic/hard believer in worker-oriented socialism instead of a more western interpretation of socialism) & pushing back against anything that isn't "home-grown", which is something Xi Jinping also is a very big supporter of (CCP does these patriotic displays of showing how patriotic/good it is to only buy national products only).
Sort of. Inheritance extends (hence the keyword of the same name) while constraints restrict (or constrain).
Not sure why they decided to go back on the ideal of having just a single type of port. It was a good idea.

Or that the person from whom you borrowed Tether to put on your short position won't demand it back while it is collapsing.
Given that 70% of all crypto transactions involve Tethers, the market cap of everything in crypto is more realistically denominated in Tethers than dollars.
I find it amusing that this article has reached the front page with quite a positive vote count yet just about every comment I've read is quite negative about it.
FWIW, similarly spec'd 16" MBP (32GB, 1TB) is about $3100 though it will likely outperform the Asus in various measures that may or may not matter to a particular owner.
Practically, there are more races and nationalities than there are people in most advertisements. Once in a while white men (like me) will get left out in a fair process for choosing models.
I think the better trade would be to do a hedged short against bitcoin, perhaps using futures; if Tether collapses, Bitcoin is going to get hurt as well.
SIP_ALG is what I like to call the biggest cost of VOIP, especially from home.

Oh ya good point. I understand what you’re getting at now.
They only need to provide the sources for the kernel, not the software running on top of the kernel. Usually they do publish the source for their kernel somewhere on their website in my experience (although they don't always provide a direct link to it on the product).
So spending say 5 years, noodling around with abstract mental concepts and ending with symbols that turn out to be manipulatable and useful in a mathematical way means, you haven’t done math until year 6 starts?

I’m trying to see the line as clearly drawn as your comment suggests. The exact boundary doesn’t seem as simple as, stops here / starts here.

Have you ever tried to set up HA environments before Kubernetes and friends, let alone anything that can do failover and some form of auto-scaling? Kubernetes might have some unwarranted complexity, but let's not pretend it was a walk in the park setting environments up with ad-hoc shell scripts, HA proxy, IP failover, manual package updates and more fun stuff. Tools like Kubernetes and their general abstractions are vastly better than anything I could come up with in a time before even Puppet and Ansible existed. You have to take into consideration all that orchestrators like Kubernetes are trying to replace before you can meaningfully criticise their complexity.

Sadly enough it's all YAML, but at least it's all YAML and not random mostly undocumented arcane configuration formats...

This article indicates a 1:1 relationship doesn't apply in 3D. I haven't had time to read and understand this enough but it seems worth passing on the article since its something on my list to dig into this weekend.

"But when researchers were finally able to record from grid cells in animals navigating 3D spaces, the findings got “much more dramatic,” Ulanovsky said — seeming to demonstrate not just deviations from the framework, but departures from it.
...
To their surprise, the hexagonal patterns that defined the cells’ behavior in 2D were gone entirely: The researchers couldn’t find even traces of that global order. Instead, the clumps of grid cell activity seemed to be distributed throughout the three-dimensional space at random. “Some properties were preserved,” Jeffery said, “but the most visually striking property of grid cells was not.”"

Moreover the Fed implicitly has the authority to do the bullshit that it does. Arguably that makes it more pernicious and evil, but short of political collective action there's also not much as an individual you can do about it. You can certainly do things about the tether situation, e.g. exit crypto, short tether (this may be stupid, lol), etc.
Late last year I watched someone swipe an entire shelf of cosmetics/facial products from a downtown Walgreens and saunter out while the clerk yelled at her, "You must feel great about yourself!" And, no, this wasn't a homeless person or drug addict, AFAICT, just a well-groomed 20-something young woman who jumped into a car waiting for her outside.

That Walgreens employee told me that nothing happens. No police report. Nothing except, presumably, a note to corporate. Her sentiments were echoed by another employee at the time. And both explained how much worse things have gotten. They were incredibly pissed because they felt so utterly helpless.

While this was last year, it was at a Walgreens that I've been frequenting for years, and from what I gather from some of the chattier employees, things are still pretty bad, and altogether definitely much worse than before COVID. They have a security guard on duty more often now, but they also have significantly reduced hours.

I find it odd that people expect Walgreens to open up their books to prove the increased theft. In other contexts that's called blaming the victim. And why should I care if Walgreens is taking the opportunity to downsize at the same time? That's the epitome of whataboutism. But in any event, AFAICT, Walgreens and Target have been privately more transparent with some of the local politicians. Public transparency would just be a lose-lose from the perspective of these large corporations, especially in the current media environment where left wing social activists will blame them regardless ("Oh, look at how many millions they've been extracting from our community!") while the right wing will try to further make martyrs out of them--theft notwithstanding, not the kind of public persona these companies want.

Regarding insurance, I wouldn't be surprised if Walgreens and Target self-insure in situations like this. What I do know is that after a spate of burglaries along the commercial strip in my Outer Richmond neighborhood, the local business association (the president is the owner of a restaurant we frequent, and we're on some of her mailing lists) ran a funding drive to help those businesses recover. The implication seemed to be that either the businesses lacked the necessary insurance coverage altogether, or it fell short of what they needed. Which wouldn't at all be surprising to me. (Also wouldn't be surprising if not every business filed a police report. When nearly every business on both sides of the street, up-and-down three+ blocks is burgled in the span of two weeks, what would be the point? Even an insurer might not even care at that point; it'd be like asking each and every claimant to prove an earthquake or hurricane.)
Really? I've found Apple's slow and steady approach to additions in the iOS UI to be more pleasant than not. I will admit I've only been using iPhones since iOS 10 but have mostly only noticed improvements since then (e.g. the new control panel, amazing animations, app library).

Widgets, as well, have been a deal breaker for me, what makes you dislike them?

The only real problem I have with iOS as a whole right now is how buried some actions can be, especially in apps like Safari and Music, some things which should be a press away can take 3-4 taps to complete, which while not really annoying does make me feel like a grandpa just tapping away at his phone to share an image or add a song to my queue.
I am curious about how that type of activity doesn't constitute insider trading? Presumably having "bad news" would constitute material nonpublic information?

Being able to swap things out is one way to make a framework lighter.

Light ones: if I have a problem with the framework, I am guaranteed to have a local solution without getting rid of entire framework. For example, if Spring Framework does not let me create an object in a particular way, I can write my own function to create the object. If the way configuration is being located does not suit me, I can replace the mechanism without getting rid of Spring Framework or even configuration -- just by implementing couple of interfaces.

Heavy ones: if I want to do something that has not been planned for by framework creators I can potentially run into problems that I have no way out of without getting rid of it all.

An example would by systemd: it is built in an unnecessarily heavy way by insisting on you using it all. For example, if you don't like journald or can't use it for some reason -- tough luck. The only way to get rid of journald is to get rid of entire systemd.
Is there any gray here? Example: you continue a contract with NewRelic and they buy you a fancy dinner at a michelin restaurant. You go with Splunk and they buy you a vacation in Hawaii to talk things 'over'. Seems like if you aren't taking cash - things can get gray real fast.
Got the same life out of mine, although the battery swelled up this year. :-/

Didn't bother to look into the cost of replacement as my initial research indicated that they'd want/need to replace the keyboard and upper chassis as well, so probably a $600+ repair. So I opted for a company laptop instead.
Hyperbole is a logical fallacy, just for your information.
Patience, @Jtsummers. I'm hearing lots of ideas I'd never thought of before.
If I have an OS project and someone submitted a Pull Request with something they cannot really publish. Like a piece of proprietary code from their work. Without a CLA, I have full responsibility if I accept it, so their lawyer can easily sue me for that piece of code.

I mean, that actually happened to me a few years ago, and their lawyers forced me to completely delete the whole project, just over a few lines of someone's code. So as for me, CLA gives at least some additional protection against lawyers trying to shut down some competing OS project.
Facebook could be killed by a single state passing a law that says data on citizens of the state must only be stored in the state, and may not be transferred out without written consent per transfer via certified mail. It is well within the power of state government to pass this and a single state would cause irreparable harm to the user graph.
An invention is the embodiment of an idea. It's not enough to think of a humanoid robot. You have to think of and implement the idea.

Your interface is just a fantasy. You haven't taken any steps towards making it a reality. There's no demonstrable prototype. There's no documented research into it's principles that you have uniquely contributed directly to.

That's the difference. You haven't undergone any inventive steps, because you haven't created anything. You have a vague idea that such a thing may be possible, but haven't undergone the rigor of understanding and implementing a basic example of what you have conceptualized.

This isn't to be confused with comercializing the idea, figuring out how to market and produce it to meet demand, package it, and deliver it. That's a wholly different process, parts of which itself may require further inventions.
How many years did it take us to catch up to that Pentium 4's 3.6 GHz clock speed?

Edit: For 3.6+GHz Intel chips - there was one single 4th Gen i7 in 2013 & two in 2014, one 6th gen (each) 2015 & 2016.

3.6GHz didn't return to more standard production until the 7th-9th gen, 2017-2019.
In Germany (and some other EU countries) pre-orders come with Bose Noise Cancelling Headphones 700 (A ~270 EUR value). Here in Canada not only is the phone more expensive, it also "only" comes with Pixel Buds which are a ~CAD 160 value after tax. The Bose headphones are also more expensive in Canada (as pretty much anything except gas and electricity) so they'd be an even better value here.

So I'll investigate if there are significant (to me) differences between the EU and Canada models and may just order it in Germany then.

Unfortunately the page makes that pretty clear. The AA Milne estate still has a copyright on Winnie the Pooh for several more years and stated in one of the letters that they are "not in a position" to grant him a license (exclusive contract with Penguin?).
