Perceptrons were modeled after neurons in the sense of simple distributed computational units connected by weights. It doesn’t go any further than that.

Convnets were not inspired by biology directly and the only property they share in common is a spatial receptive field. The weight sharing and overall architecture were not based on the visual cortex.

ReLUs were chosen because of their constant derivative in the positive domain. The reduced compute was a nice side benefit and newer methods (swish, gelu, mish, etc.) all do away with the simple computation in favor of smoother loss landscapes (while maintaining a mostly linear positive domain).

Backprop, however, takes no inspiration from biology.
Thanks! Tilemaker is a great tool and probably the closest alternative (no intermediate db). The most recent benchmarks I saw though were around a day for the planet, so roughly 10x longer than flatmap. If

I agree. I'd add that having multiple experts in competition with each other (due to bad culture, bad communication or even just bad personality) also has the potential of turning heroes into primadonnas.
Our second car is an older Beetle and we've kept it around for exactly that reason, it's paid off, and even the occasional repairs needed on it annually are way cheaper than a monthly auto loan payment. When I used to commute (pre-COVID, I'm never, ever going back to that), we still used it.
I have an original Mk1 unit and this looks like a very nice upgrade. Sure it's not the best but for the price and being linux first its good.

A bit of bezel on my Mk1 broke and I was able to get a replacement with ease (did cost me but I was happy I could even get the part easily).

I'd say that considering how hard this problem is (technologically and ethically), they're doing quite well.

It's funny how they are blamed by both free speech advocates and by those who ask for more censorship. No wonder everybody hates them. It's a battle that they can't win.
I run an ads agency and I recommend cameras off on every call except the very first one with a client. It's just distracting, plus most calls should be screensharing an agenda 90% of the time anyway.

Eg built one that tries resolving an ad domain to check if ad blocking is functioning correctly and publishes that as a end point that is suitable for an uptime dashboard

Totally true.

I have seen even how some companies dropped supporting some of their hardware in Linux without any reasonable cause or problem (some models of TI MSP430), and having to use third party tools in order to continue working in Linux.
I wouldnt have thought of tokio as application code bc its a library, but I guess it kinda is because it also provides a runtime.

> The team had a long list of tasks they wanted to transfer over to the control of Raspberry Pi:

All those tasks are "home automation" for the office. You can buy solutions for this, e.g. meeting room free/busy, but inherently there's a large amount of customisation and the COTS ones tend to be surprisingly expensive.
There is a certain culture in the UK that it is OK to monitor the cricket scores. I have seen this multiple times. Test cricket is a 5 day event, so you do not need to monitor too closely in most situations
It's neither -- it's just that I want all of my machines to run the same OS, and I've determined that BSD fits my overall needs better than Linux. It's not about making some kind of statement or experimenting.
Kit55, https://stack55.com is great - It is a low-code alternative to website generators that heavily rely on the command line, like Hugo, Jekyll, Gatsby, etc.

The app simply takes HTML files and assembles complete pages in your file system.

The app watches for changes in your project and will build your pages accordingly. The pages you write have now access to a templating system, basically Jinja2 so you can reference other HTML files from your pages (to include a common header, menus...), and you can use variables, macros, etc.

The app comes also with a small local webserver, so you can easily access your built pages. It also supports hot-reload, so when you make a change in a file, all pages that depend on it will be rebuilt and your browser will be refreshed.

Agreed. The best translation of this book is done by Oliver Ready or Michael Katz-- I found these the translations the most readable and enjoyable.

Ramp-Tao: Layering Atomic Transactions on Facebook's Graph Data Store
As a former blockchain enthusiastic, I would say do spend some time (if you can afford) to play with it as a hobby, but that's pretty much it. There is a limit the "blockchain applications" can achieve. Many successful ones have a similar form of re-interpreting a hash, e.g. CryptoKitty or crypto zombie games and even the now shinny NFT. It can be fun to work on some blockchain projects, as many exercises are like clipping a duck's wings and then figuring out how to coax it into somehow climbing up a tree.

Also the blockchain space is a big echo chamber. There are lots of fallacies that the enthusiasts are blinded to. For instance, there is the illusion of validity, i.e. confusing the correct identification of a problem (e.g. abused of centralised power) with the correctness in a proposed solution (e.g. fully removing trust). But as long as one is aware of these, it's fun.

Probably start by building a smart contract to experience the limitations (and the WTFs). Then probably move on to study ZKP (which probably can have some real-world usage)
I agree, it's anecdotal but the impression I get from local job seekers is the opposite: everyone is looking for principal engineers with 10+ years of experience in every technology, and people relatively new to the industry feel they have no entry point.
Thank you for your kind words and feedback, it is really helpful!

We want to make Loopple as simple as possible for the developers. Also, we chose the best dashboards designs available in the market: Argon, Soft UI, and Admin Kit.
Thoughts on Tech Debt
>for free

No, the site owner is usually gaining money from his users (through ads, tracking, etc). This is an incredibly dishonest statement.
Interesting theory, why would FB be compelled to pay her to do what she is doing at this point?
The thing that offshored dev teams are not good at is working directly with clients. There is a need for technical people who are able to talk to clients and can convert those discussions into requirements for dev teams that may be working in a completely different timezone. This has been especially true with clients that require consultants to come directly on-site to work with their systems, such as banks. Although everyone is currently making exceptions for covid, that need is not to be dismissed entirely.
I find PL/pgSQL preferable if only because it fits most naturally in the database environment. Queries fit very naturally into the code with little special treatment; being able to rely on the full power of PostgreSQL's type system in my logic without any additional accommodations; exception/error handling feeling more natural and integrated;and as others have noted, certain performance advantages (usually).

PL/pgSQL has a fairly low complexity in my experience compared to many other languages... More often it's the SQL/database conceptual part that I see people struggling with most. PL/pgSQL in some ways makes that a little more front and center... But if you're writing functions and procedures you're really not going to escape having to come to terms with the database. May not be the issue you were experiencing, but expect that to be more common.
Is VR a dead fad? Why is it always about flesh and blood humans?
Unfortunately it's more difficult for senior leaders to trust engineering because it's more difficult for most senior leaders to understand how effective their engineering team is versus how effective they should expect them to be.

You would never expect this level of micromanagement for sales because it's clear when salespeople are or are not performing. Who cares if a salesperson is only working 10 hours a day if they're bringing in more revenue than any of their peers? Everyone in leadership can see that.

However when an engineer is a top performer that's not necessarily clear. What people see are the bugs that get created, deadlines met vs not met, how quickly inquiries are responded to, etc...
I would really love to experiment with one of those CPUs, too bad Apple just really sucks as a company / ethics
There is an old poem called the Psychomachia by a poet named Prudentious. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Psychomachia

It is a fascinating poem -- it all takes place in the character's head. The virtues and the vices battle it out, individually, but as a complete battle. It is, in my opinion, a great example of a Generated Adversarial Network.

The reason a lot of great art ends up representing deep mathematical truths is that art is, at its best, an act of deep observation, whether it is of oneself or the world around oneself.

I wouldn't bother reading the Psychomachia -- I translated parts of it in college and I agree with C.S. Lewis that it is a more known poem than a good one. I still found its observation of the mind in parts doing battle useful for myself when I have dealt with mental illness in my life.

Not the parent either but some texts and/or books are only available in PDF. I would never choose PDF when epub (or rtf, docx, txt) are available, but it happens that it is the only option.

Of course sometimes PDFs are just image files attached together and in that case it's impossible to do paragraph reading or any good stuff, but even in that case being able to synchronize position across devices would be a plus.
Title needs a changin. Almost all of these are just personal preferences on very minor ui elements. The author maybe has a valid point about (maybe?) losing customizations options, but loses the forest for the trees.
Yeah I am satisfied with this performance.

I’m not a gamer. And even if the CPU can’t take advantage of the 400GB/s 250 or so is very good indeed.

This is all low hanging fruit for future revisions of this chip. The A15 based cores will further improve single core IPC and in turn make MT workloads even better. Basically if this is the floor then the sky won’t be high enough to contain where we go next.
I spent the last 5 years doing consulting/contracting in a software development co-op in which I was one of the founding partners. It was a huge boost for my career and ended up increasing my income by around 75%.

One upside of contracting that I never realized was if you do good work, with every new client you take on, you will increase the list of employers that would hire you in a heartbeat if you fall on hard times.
> we think mainstream programmers could use them in the best way, and we add them slowly enough so that we're not overtaken by fashion and we have room to grow for decades

Ah yes. Using a single common way to initalize things and unifying arrays and lists (so that you don't need helper modules, and you don't have to rely on the kindness of libs to provide .of methods) is "fashion" (as are many other things).

But "yeah, we will maybe some day 10-20 years from now provide a way to build records, and only records, in a way that doesn't require hundreds of lines of boilerplate", that's long-term strategic planning and evolution.

Well, we're talking past each other. I'm well aware that any change in a language the scale of Java is a daunting task. But the condescending tone that dismisses something as "features for the quick-feature-mided fashion crowd" clearly shows that it's not these concerns that drive these decisions, but purely subjective outlook on things.
> Once you have reached at least junior level, start learning about how to split the system into subsystems and putting some additional thought into it.

Before learning about how to split something into multiple parts, you should start by learning about why you would want to do that.

> If you want to work in finance, accounting, sales, investor relations, partnerships, business development or whatever, go do that. If you want to work creating software, start caring about how software is created, or at least don't ruin it for people that do.

Again, before that you should learn about the why. You are writing software for someone. Why? For most people, especially when doing "web stuff", the why is going to be way more important than the how. Carefully crafted software is useless if it doesn't fit what the business wants. Better than that is bad software that still fits the use case. Even better is carefully crafted software that fits the use case.
Right - and to get an idea of how behind the times they were, in the west CP/M office computers had an extinction level event occur in 1981 that some people might remember. The KC models were introduced in 1984, a year that saw the introduction of another notable personal computer system.
I was hoping for a flame-war about T20 not being real cricket... that would be very un-HN!
One area that senior developers can have significant advantages over junior resources is in having much stronger understanding of their business domain. I know plenty of developers in their 60's who will likely be able to keep working for as long as they want simply because they understand the equipment leasing business extremely well. That expands the job description somewhat and requires some ability to work with business stakeholders. The older developers that I know who struggle to find work tend to share some of the same characteristics: didn't work very hard to develop new skills, don't have deep domain knowledge, and/or really have trouble having a conversation with a non-technical business stakeholder.
Hi everyone I’m here to testify of a great and powerful spell caster called Lord Masuka. I was so confused and devastated when my wife left me without a word, I needed her back desperately because I loved her so much. One day at work a colleague of mine introduced me to this powerful spell caster who had helped her in getting her lover back, so I contacted him and he promised that in less than 48 hours he will come back to me. After I did all he asked, to my greatest surprise my wife who had refused to speak with me called me and asked if I can ever forgive her and want her back , I told her to come back home she did and now we are living happily together, if you have any marriage problem I will advise you contact him for your help. Below are his contact details.

We weren't talking about electrocution here, but about heating a ring quickly enough to burn you, which requires a much higher amperage than what's needed to kill you.

Anyway, given that 12V is considered safety voltage for submerged swimming pool material in France, I'm pretty confident it is be extremely unlikely to kill anyone.
It was never an accurate model (in the sense that it never modelled, eg., plasticity and many more things). It was however an attempt to actually model activation patterns as boolean circuits.

However as soon as you make it a supervised optimisation alg it fails even to be a model. (The NN algorithm is just k-nearest-neighbours + recursive PCA.)

Activation patterns in the brain aren't "trained" by backprop, and they dont form a piece-wise linear (ie., ReLU) regression function.

It's better to say that the optimisation algorithm called "Neural Networks" was inspired by the "Neural Network" model of the brain which was a partially highly simplified model of one aspect of neurone behaviour.

The algorithm used today has nothing homologous with anything in the brain -- and its somewhat incoherent to suppose it does. A piece-wise linear regression model of the boston house price dataset is a meaningless stand-in for anything neurological. Its aburdist marketing to say otherwise.
Now this is really really cool. Thank you for posting.

Gluing things together has been what the majority of software developers do pretty much since the industry started. There are millions of us, it's impossible for everyone to be building something completely new. And outsourcing to poorer companies is nothing new - the offshore consulting companies make up significant proportions of their respective country's GDPs and have done for a long time.

My only advice is to try to become "T shaped" (I hate the term but it makes sense), a generalist with a few currently marketable specialisms.
>If you can hire a remote worker with a similar skillset and reasonable communication skills for 1/4th the price, why wouldn't you?

That's been the pitch for the last 30 years. The "similar skillset" is rarely true, certainly not at "1/4 the price." That's the kinda thing that gets managers fired.
Shame that it doesn't appear to support drives with a z-height of 15mm, like the cheap 5TB drives found in Seagate portable externals, with that supported it could be an affordable small off-site backup system or media server.
A shame that thermal/power limitations aren't investigated. That is the most deciding factor for me getting a Pro or Max. And something Apple has historically had a lot of trouble with.
> No, the site owner is usually gaining money from his users (through ads, tracking, etc). This is an incredibly dishonest statement.

Which you're purposely trying to avoid by disabling JavaScript, thus mooching and demanding that they design the site around your niche desires.

NoJs users are negative revenue users. They cost the same as a revenue user but block revenue streams. Then feel like more resources should be spent on just them.
Unfortunately it does. It's comparatively quick and easy to slap together an application which does the first 80%. Then, come edge cases, stuff your req engineers didn't come around to define, or which your approach moved fast and broke, or which simply couldn't fit in the architecture as your initial sprints created. Everything doable of course but...
If people are wondering about why some people in the comments are reporting 3080 vs 3060 levels of performance, it's based on the workload. On synthetic (native I assume) benchmarks, the M1 Max reaches 3080 levels, but in gaming benchmarks (using x86) it reaches 3060 levels.
> My point is that human nature itself is at fault. Would you trust a flying machine in the hands of a drunk driver? But, no amount of regulation / laws / punishment will deter such incidences.

You're talking about degrees of damage. The issues presented here are present in cars. We've worked around them in cars (relatively well I'd argue) because of the trade-offs in convenience and time savings. There's nothing that says this mode of transaction, if viable, wouldn't have the same pressures applied to make it safer.

The wider point is convenience / time savings is a significant motivator, and betting against a technology that seems to include both has never turned out well.

Physical Tutorial Systems for Makerspaces
Morning everyone,

we're working on a physical tutorial system for using the devices in our FabLab, strongly inspired by https://damassets.autodesk.net/content/dam/autodesk/research/publications-assets/pdf/smart-makerspace-an-immersive.pdf

Has anyone had experience with building such systems/knows of similar ideas? I've been searching for inspiration today and have found a few older ones (primarily Lectron for learning electronics) and would love to hear if someone knows any other ones
Looks like it doesn't worth buying the Max if you don't need a powerful GPU.
Wow this PDF is interesting. It explains how to canonically transliterate European ligatures/diacritics, Cyrillic, and even Arabic into Roman. The government clearly wants ASCII to become the one charset to rule them all.

Yes, that's pretty much my point. The commenter above asked for a high-quality condenser specifically. I doubt they want a U 87, so it's probably better to ask a different question (e.g. "what's the best condenser for the money?").

The difference between those dollar store air pods and any condenser on the first page of Amazon search results for "condenser mic" is going to be huge, but past like $50-100 nobody will be able to notice a difference over voice chat.
