Awe inspiring.

I recorded a song where the lyrics were a parsable brainfuck program after wondering if a) daftpunk's higher bigger faster was turing complete, and b) whether the same was true of never gonna give you up. For me it was substituting high concept for talent, but what else are you going to do in pandemic lockdown.

Rockstar tho, this is next level.

Yes, my argument does amount to that.

Your argument amounts to claiming you have a car that is impossible to steal, and yet becomes permanently inoperable if you press the wrong button on the dashboard.

Being able to recover stolen property is a good thing, you know?
Probably all sorts of reasons. Market/problem domain choice, strategy, IP, price, weight are all hard problems and then you get to extremely hard optics issues that require all sorts of tradeoffs.

Solve all that, and then you need to invent a whole new UX paradigm and integrate it with whatever solution it is supposed to solve. Take everything that needed to happen for the iphone and multiply it a few times.
Interactive Theorem Provers are getting productive enough to be useful for real projects. The CompCert project was a real eye opener/motivator for people who want to develop proven correct software.
Cell phones use A-GPS which relies on cellular data service. It allows for faster position fixes using base station signals. Of course a cell phone with a view of the sky can still get a position fix entirely from satellites, it just takes a little longer.

>nobody seems to notice/care as they have their minds blown

Some people do, and erroneously conclude that "space is fake". This would be laughable, if not for the part where they then persuade their friends and family to feel deceived. Artificially coloring images without disclosing it clearly upfront in a highly visible manner, ideally with some sort of watermark on the image, is the sort of white lie that contributes to the public's growing distrust of authority.

Yes, I know the caption below the image usually disclaims it. But as you say, most people don't notice or know it until somebody points it out to them, and too often the somebody who points it out is somebody who's peddling nonsense of their own.
Wow, it'd make the textbooks look enterprise-y. On the other hand, if you didn't capitalise every word in the compound it'd look like German.
>Note, however, that it is a Glibc bug (modulo Drepper’s temper) if the reverse happens

Right right. I gave that example not as something that people would expect to work, just as something that indicates that users and distros are used to the idea of binaries and libc being revved in sync.

Hah! You make it sound like they said "You must construct additional pylons," or something. :)

What's the proper unit of measurement to quantify how much "science" they've collected, anyway? Bits?
The ingress controller is so I can have multiple public apps and configure them with Ingresses (definitely possible to do the overall setup with just cloudflared but I wanted to use built in ingress objects instead of a complicated cloudflared config).

DISCLAIMER: I'm happy to be educated if I've got this wrong. I'm extremely sensitive to the fact that this is complicated, changing really fast, and I could easily be fully full of shit.

But as far as I understand it's all some variation on "we're going to anchor something on the slow, expensive, trustworthy chain that represents a promise that we're going to settle stuff over here and report back to the big, slow, expensive but trusted chain".

Often that anchor is some variation of a multi-sig custodial wallet with a bunch of blockchain bigshots on it, i.e. a fucking bank. If people want to evade banking regulations that's their business, but calling it cryptographic novelty is stupid.

Sometimes it's "we're going to settle transactions on some shard, so it doesn't matter that it's somewhere between a slow wristwatch and a fast potato in terms of throughput", in which case the people I want to transact with need to participate in that shard, in which case you've got Metcalfe's Law working against you: you're on the wrong side of the polynomial. I want to buy some shit from merchant $FOO but they're not on my shard. Damn, guess I need to route some $COIN up through the real chain and down to the shard where my pot dealer is.

The point is that if the thing you were deferring the transaction onto was both trustworthy and scalable, then you'd just use that. It's this non-terminating recursion where each invocation of the Y-combinator kicks off a fat token offering. Which is why the Lightening whitepaper is now $ZILLION pages long when it started at 18: every hole they patch creates 3 more.

IO-HK is somewhere south of RenTech and somewhere north of NASA in terms of the Nobel laureates they've got working on Ouroboros [BFT|Praus|Genesis]? and they can't get it to work: ADA is getting pushed around a warmed-over Tendermint still (really fast potato).

The ParityTech people seem to have learned the hard way that Google barely made it fly with friggin cesium clocks and satellites in a non-Byzantine setting when they put together BABE [BADASS|SASAFRASS|WHATEVER]? and slapped GRANDPA on it. Ethereum v2 gets delayed with roughly the same cadence as viable fusion power (but Casper the FFG!).

If someone knows how to do a chain that's truly secure, truly decentralized, and doesn't cost $500 to buy a $5 ENS domain then I missed that paper.

If you know of a project that actually works I want in on the governance token. It'll make BTC look like a victim of hyperinflation.

I thought it was going to be a feedback loop, where the write at the end would trigger another Kafka message. I was pleasantly surprised it wasn't.
Thanks for the perspective. I was beginning to regret posting this after so many people claiming this wouldn’t happen at AWS.

Amazon is a huge company so I have no doubt YMMV depending on your manager.
I'm still rooting for Firefox but the only thing stopping me from switching to it as my daily browser is that it can't do multi-language spellcheck [0]. Chromium-based browsers have been supporting this for years now.

A bit OT, but how does 4x10 work for developers? I feel like realistically no one can write code for 8 hours a day anyway, so what does a 10 hour day look like? More meetings? More browsing Hacker News? More hanging around on Slack in case someone pings you so you can pretend you're "at work"?

Or maybe I'm just way too cynical and people actually got more done in a 10 hour day than they would in an 8 hour day?

Is there an image (or video) service that does:

* You bring your own storage

* You bring your own CDN

For instance, you configure your CloudFront distribution to source from the Image Transformation service. You configure your Image Transformation service to source from your S3 bucket.

This seems like the best of all worlds to me. Does this exist?
Yeah, I think "deep model" (versus shallow) a more accurate and less punny phrase.

One of my favorite subreddits answers many of these questions, or at least tries to. https://old.reddit.com/r/UsbCHardware/
> ...There is also no way to get user feedback until after the final software is delivered.

That's what seems so very puzzling in these stories. These shortcomings in the delivered software appear more like insufficiently tested requirements (of course, the execution could be the sole reason too).

I'm not sure if contractors are needed in order to test the requirements against the actual use-cases _before_ even initiating a bidding process for developing any systems/software.

After all the force probably wants to describe what's needed. Someone has to make sure the desired new capabilities align with actual existing and desired workflows.

Perhaps, in this navsystem case, the ability to efficiently analyse/visualise the region's depth profile could have been stated in concrete use-case form, including the response times, scaling etc. This would then become the basis to test at the acceptance stage.
This has only been true for the smallest shell scripts in my experience: bash will be less code at first but once you to be portable, handle errors, locking, unicode, buffer or process output, perform non-trivial redirections, or need any data structure more complicated than a simple string it's been pretty common to replace hundreds of lines of spaghetti bash with less Python even after you add comments and a proper CLI interface.

It’s very difficult to quantify the “benefits” you get! Comparing base salary is very simple, there are two numbers and you know exactly how they compare and what they mean. But comparing two health care plans, or time off benefits… it takes a lot more effort and is harder to quantify. I also think plenty don’t realize how much certain benefits can cost sometimes, like healthcare. Plus, most people are obviously working to make an income. And if you want to do FIRE, maximizing income is very important. So some are willing to sacrifice work life quality for extra base salary.

Speaking personally, I try to have a decent picture of how much extra I’d need to be offered to make it worth a switch. At a certain point, money will win, though it’d have to be significant :)
not everyone can get a job. not everyone lives where there are jobs. not everyone can move to where there is job. not everyone is capable of holding down a job. so I guess they don't need healthcare and we should just let them die?
Wow, still a thing?
Perhaps I should have clarified that I am talking about closely managed shift employees and not the kind of contractors who self-direct the completion of project work.

IIRC K-Meleon predated Firefox / Phoenix 0.1 and was the (or one of the) original minimal gecko-based browers. It filled an interesting niche at least for me at the time in being a capable, open-source, Windows-native browser when IE had already started to dominate + bloat and Netscape / Seamonkey was also quite heavy in resource usage. Plus I think it had tabs.

cool to see it's still getting new releases!

It is important to note that in all the test cases the data fits comfortably in L1 cache. The author mentions this

> Eventually, the bitset would get so large that doing a single pass would make more sense as it makes better use of cache, but in a BitmapContainer the length is fixed to 1024 elements, so this is immaterial.

but I think it needs to be called out more explicitly.

As soon as the data doesn't fit in L1, the benefits from better pipelining or vectorization will be negligible compared to the cost of loading the data twice.

In a general case, it is safer to split the data into blocks, large enough to amortize the outer loop but small enough to fit in L1 cache, and perform fission within each block.
You're frustrated that the limelight is stolen from other deserving organizations, which is fair. I think what you're bumping in to is the unusual overlap between a commercial venture and a religious feeling. People who "believe in SpaceX" do so because it gives them more than just a "capability". When they believe in the future & far-future ideas seeded by Musk, they get a feeling of excitement, significance, purpose, etc. which bleeds over into all sorts of unrelated things. I don't know of many companies that succeed at this level. Disney, maybe?

Here's a way to eliminate the subjectivity: When a person takes a particular test, you print out their report along with 9 other reports chosen at random, each with a code number but no name. Then you try to pick the one that most closely resembles you or the subject. The percentage of people who can pick their own report is referred to as the "accuracy" of the test. Also, you do this after securing robust legal protections for privacy.

By way of analogy, I'm thinking of a study where people try to pick a picture of themselves out of a collection of pictures.

Yes, I assume they intentionally make it difficult to push third party sellers’ where they get to earn bigger profit margins and/or hide their low inventory.

Although, Amazon is the worst, then Walmart (still much better than Amazon since you can at least filter). The others are not bad in my experience.
The OpenBSD people in general and De Raadt specifically are probably the best-known objectors to Apache-2[1–4], among other things because they hold that Apache-2 is too broad to be a copyright license and thus has to be interpreted as a contract instead.

I don’t know if they’re right, but their arguments did shift my opinion in their direction.

Corporate lawyers seem to love it, though, because of the mutually-assured-patent-destruction clause.

Anyone can do anything, if they spend a bunch of time studying the ins and outs of it and maybe had an an experienced mentor, but someone who thinks they understand enough to just 'run the numbers' is more dangerous than someone who knows they don't know.

And thats why running numbers has nothing to do with experience and judgement, something you don't seem understand. If you've never built a bridge you don't really understand anything about building a bridge, even if you've been to engineering school.

It's like putting out the firmware for someone's pacemaker because you can 'run the numbers'. You sure can, if you don't mind killing a few people and spending time in prison.
I'm searching for publicly available content published on the internet. You're telling Google that there is certain public content available at this URL - that's the "bait" part. Afterwards you're telling me that no, this content is not actually available to the public - that's the "switch" part.

I mean, there's nothing wrong with paywalls, but you have to be honest and explicit about what you're offering. If the page says "Latest NBA game - pay $1 to find out who won", that's fine, but then that's what you should provide to my search engine; and if you want my search engine to index "It was close but no cigar for the Nets as they fell 111-107 to the Chicago Bulls this past Saturday." , then this should the actual content that I get when I go to that page.
I don't follow in the latter two.

I do wonder if there is some lower level of abstraction to PyTorch that is more explicit about GPU memory allocation. Often, hunting down why GPU memory usage keeps increasing after every batch feels like a needle-in-a-haystack problem.

I would in fact be happy to use the C++ API (or another) to PyTorch, if it is more transparent about memory allocation.
I've noticed that when I have interviewed there is quite the pause when, not even 20-25 minutes into spending time with each other, the question about salary expectations is raised, and I have to ask what are the perks and/or benefits? I am willing to be very flexible with my salary given what else is being offered in the package. It just surprises me that most people are really chasing after total compensation without any consideration of well-being.

You’re correct that sequencing RNA/DNA is currently much cheaper and easier than directly sequencing proteins in a cell.

But, knowing the sequence of a biomolecule is only a first step in understanding it’s function. By-and-large, we’ve had significantly more progress in describing functional domains (and therefore tying them to important biological processes) in proteins than we have in RNA.

When Slack launched video calls, it was using Chrome's own implementation of WebRTC which is called Plan B. So it worked in both their app which is electron based and Chrome. Not sure if it worked with chromium derivatives like Brave, Vivaldi, etc.

Firefox rolled out the standard based WebRTC implementation and chrome eventually did as well, but companies like Slack and various others didn't migrate instead just threw an error message saying calling isn't supported in Firefox and instead use their app or chrome.

Since Slack's partnership with AWS about 2 years ago, they migrated from their own call infrastructure to using AWS's Chime. Chime SDK has support for all major browsers https://docs.aws.amazon.com/chime/latest/dg/meetings-sdk.htm...

But their browser check still remains today and Mozilla started to spoof the user agent as a workaround so that Firefox users can make calls as Slack aren't willing to remove the check or properly add support.

Chrome is planning to remove WebRTC plan B soon, so this should force companies to use the unified WebRTC implementation and hopefully means Firefox support. https://groups.google.com/a/chromium.org/g/blink-dev/c/IY2am...
> more expensive to implement

Theoretically this is precisely true, but in practice the difference is negligible for many models given the incredible computer power of modern hardware. A particle filter with a million points is trivial to model on even a mobile phone GPU with milliwatt levels of power draw.

Even "simple" cases like blending GPS data with other sensors could potentially benefit from a particle filter model. For example, an advanced particle filter could model the GPS signal echoing off buildings, which might result in multiple local maxima in the location probability space.

Most (all?) current systems simply throw away the other peaks in the GPS signal and feed in only the one with the "highest likelyhood".

Similarly, wheel tick counters typically use one wheel as an input. A particle filter could take all four wheels and be able to model disagreements in a robust way.

Particle filters are also better where the probabilities are not Gaussian. E.g.: measurements that are strictly positive often don't have Gaussian PDFs.
