You still have to deal with the precise definition of interpolation vs. extrapolation.

And it does not matter what space you are using as long as you operate under the convex hull definition of interpolation vs. extrapolation you will need exponentially more samples as intrinsic dimensionality of the space increases.

This means that even under the manifold hypothesis, as long as intrinsic dimensionality is reasonably high i.e. in low hundreds, models will be doing extrapolation.

While our time has been short on geological scales, that's a point in favor of being discovered later. So much has been deposited by us in the geological record in a stunningly short (by future geologists' viewpoint) timescale like plastics, temperature variations, and irradiated patches of land.

To make things worse for a hypothetical advanced dinosaur species, if they were at the point they could capture an asteroid, they would be roughly equivalent or better with us but we could survive an asteroid extinction event just fine. Society as we know it perhaps wouldn't survive but an event that could genuinely end us as a species would need to be exceedingly destructive or long term. Otherwise the remnants will rebuild, give or take a couple 10s of thousands of years, which is basically nothing on the timescales we're thinking about here.
I am also in Scanadinavia, and honestly from your post I am getting an "everything is wrong with everyone else" vibe - which is usually a sign that you may want to look closer at yourself.

Hiring processes are certainly not perfect, but I have not had the types of issues you describe in any sort of persistent way. Granted, I have not interviewed a lot since moving here (once in 2012, once in 2019, and once earlier this year but with a non-Scandinavian company). But I know none of my friends and acquaintances in the industry here have had the kinds of problems you describe on a persistent basis.

To be honest, your mention of personality and IQ tests was a bit of a red flag when reading the post that something isn't quite aligned with modern hiring practices when it comes to your mindset and expectations.
Flooding your public website form isn't a crime in the same way prank calling a customer service line isn't a crime.
Maybe 1/4th of that is regulation changes on m1 versus m2 holdings, so just banks moving money around. But yes, they printed a crap ton of money.
IIRC we have (at least most of) the drawings, but they don't specify tolerances like modern drawings do and were more for reference as parts were developed at specific factories with existing molds. It's more the fabrication knowledge that would need to be rebuilt.

CS 9: Problem-Solving for the CS Technical Interview
Thank you for explaining. I think I see now your observation is that ImageMagick was doing image processing on Linux before most had considered doing image processing on Linux. If so, then I am forced to concede this point. Although I think it is still fair to say, with a market share even now only barely breaching 2%, that most, in fact nearly all, have not considered doing anything at all on Linux since inception and likely not even five or ten years from now. This means those intrepid Linux+ImageMagick users processing images in the mid-1990's are that much more notable as those lucky few doing stuff with Linux before most had considered it, but also that those getting directory listings in Linux right this moment are also somewhat intrepid because most, maybe as much as 97.1%, had never considered even doing anything like that on Linux. I wonder what else most have not even considered doing on Linux. I expect nearly everything.

My 2005 Prius had one major fault from when I got it in 2012 until this year. It goes to show that sometimes adding complexity can increase reliability. Amazing car.
Obesity being a risk factor was well known. Why obesity causes more chance of death hadn't been studied well, which I believe is why the paper is appearing here.

Pre-print might lead to it being rejected or outcomes changed or tweaked, and it clearly needs replication in a larger study to see if the findings hold up. But equally I think being healthy and reducing your weight is likely to increase your odds of not becoming severely ill.
That was true when Tesla wanted to start selling “fsd-ready” cars, but it’s getting cheaper all the time. Luminar has $500 lidar, Huawei says they’ll be selling $100 sensors soon.
Older Craftsman tools.

I naively bought some of my own Craftsman tools at Sears back in the 2000s - many of which are cheaply made with plastic bodies, or non-durable bits. Basically every Torx screwdriver I bought there is now stripped. The cases are plastic, and use friction to keep tools in place - not that they stay in place anymore.

Contrast that with the '60s or '70s tools with the lifetime warranties (that I inherited from my grandfather, by way of my father having his own set already), which show age only in the "vintage" look. They're just as functional as I assume they were on day one. Everything's made of either steel, lacquered wood, or in rare cases, heavy-feeling plastic.
Seconded on Enums. It's annoying that they're not there.
This is the kind of thing that the CFAA is supposed to be for. If a fired employee broke into the office and welded the HR department's door shut, they'd end up in prison, and what these people are doing is just as bad.

As someone born and raised in Munich, I'll answer that question without Googling ;)

The Oktoberfest is named for the marriage of Crown Prince Ludwig and Princess Therese in October 1810 and happened in October, until in 1872 it was decided to move the begin a couple weeks earlier, because in Munich the October weather is often very cold and rain-plagued.

That's the route Daniel Shellabarger [aka Daniel Suelo] took[1]. He quit his job and went to live life as a hermit/hobo in the Am-Southwest. It's not an easy life --most people would not take that deal, but maybe for him it is. It's very ad-hoc and with very little regimen.

Whatever and wherever you were reading about US war crimes with evidence, from Collateral Murder to how many other cases, chances are that the info was put through Wikileaks first; directly thanks to Assange.

Your comment is so full of self contradiction I don't know where to start - you want a revamp to the MIC and a change to unaccountable bureaucracy, but don't think Assange has anything to do with that?

... Seriously? You fail to see the connection between accountability for war crimes, and the guy who provided documented evidence for war crimes at great personal sacrifice?

Outlier Slim Dungarees. Probably has 10x the lifetime of a pair of jeans.

I love the old South Bend and Atlas Lathes and Mills. I'm amazed that a machine made 100 Years ago can remain functional and as useful as it was on it's first day. It reminds me of the importance of maintenance.
If the math of utility is interesting to you, check out Hal Varian's microeconomics book (he is/was chief economist at Google) or the intro grad text for microeconometrics Mas-Collel, Winston, and Green.

Utility theory's primitives are defined before the actual function.

Social choice theory is covered in MWG -- arrow's impossibility theorem is absolutely fascinating!

The field of mechanism design relies heavily on utility theory -- it's effectively the inverse of game theory, or, how to structure systems and incentives to get desired outcomes.
Public health agencies have been telling people to lose weight for decades.
Nah, they should keep the 1st Amendment for the journalists. The medias' marketing departments and execs, however, should be regulated to within an inch of their lives. If they let their journos spout shit, they should be legally on the hook if they EVER claim truth. If they lie, don't allow them to take advertiser or subscriber money.

You can say whatever you want, but you can't charge people for it and you can't lie and pretend you're selling one thing (truth) when you're selling another (self-righteous feelings).

Won't ever happen because the government and media are in bed with one another, but that's what I'd like to see.
I'm not sure I should watch it. I've been actively avoiding trailers and any kind of spoiler of the movie. Does this contain spoilers? Or is it more like the Animatrix was to the sequels (e.g. provide valuable context before watching the movie)?

The article I linked does a fairly good job explaining it. Basically if you are a container owner, you can charge 10x the price for containers from Shanghai to Long Island, while the other way it’s almost a loss since it’s returning empty.

I'm also a fan of hand planes. It's worth noting that Lie-Nielsen Toolworks currently makes very, very nice updates of these old designs with blades made of modern tool steel.

This is basically my takeaway, I think Snowden has a lot stronger of an argument frankly.

Assange also editorialized his leaks to be damaging towards the US rather than just leak them. IIRC this lead to conflict within the org. The CM video was awful, but as I understand it was a mistake made within the bounds of acceptable ROE? Similar to the recent drone strike mistake in Afghanistan. War sucks and these accidents are awful, but we live in an imperfect universe. These things don’t really say much in isolation. If anything the cables showed the US in a positive light (most on HN probably didn’t actually read them).

I found the US’s media response to be stupid as it often is, rather than engage honestly on these issues. Over the years Wikileaks went from something that could have had a genuine media purpose to a way for intelligence agencies hostile to the US to leak hacked materials to the world with plausible deniability. It was no longer a neutral actor (and frankly the editorialization by Assange in the “CM” video wasn’t neutral either).

He crossed the line with aiding the hack which gave legal recourse - this is the rule of law bit, we’ll see what happens.

I do think the “sex crimes” stuff could have been Intel doing stupid shit (imo) but that’s just speculation on my part.

Please. This conveniently leaves out all the CEOs who run companies into the ground and get golden parachutes.

CEOs are not special, they are not a different breed, and they most definitely do not in any way deserve to sit at the top and be paid more than 1000% the earnings of the people who make their businesses run (ie laborers).

That's a major plus.
Async wasn’t in yet at the time. He did investigate Rust to a certain extent, but bounced hard. His chosen program didn’t really show off Rust’s strengths, because he started by trying to call select and write essentially the same program that he would have written in C. That’s a pretty painful way to go.

Incidentally, I helped with the port to Go, and I spent some time polishing the code, and finding and fixing performance problems. When we were helping GCC convert their SVN repository to Git (a repository with 287k commits, btw), we reduced the memory usage by 50% (from over 250GB to under 128GB), and the run time by quite a lot as well (down to just around 2 hours to read in the SVN repository and convert it to a basic Git repository).

Now that we’ve done that work, Reposurgeon spends 50–60% of its cpu time scanning the heap for garbage. There is often garbage to find, but just as often there is not. GC is useful, but for Reposurgeon it has become a bottleneck.

My preliminary work on a Rust port shows that it is around 4× faster than the Go version. I personally think that Rust is the future, but I haven’t been able to put as much effort into the port as I would like.
Shouldn't https://github.com/pypa/build help? I don't think it has enough features yet but I was under the impression that was the distro solution.
I played with it for about an hour on an LG C8 55" OLED and was impressed.

I think it is pretty clear there is a level of detail difference between the 'white room' scenes with Neo and the 'city'.

I would be shocked if the 'white room' scenes where not fully motion captured and then transposed into 3D models to run in engine. A bit unfair as while it may be real time rendered it is fully scripted. The player has no control. It is essentially a movie converted into a 3D environment then optimised to hell and back with pixel corrections where needed.

However the 'city' environment is quite stunning with incredible level of detail and you can free roam either walking/driving around the street or fly by. Really quite something to play about with the real time rendering pipeline to see the triangle make up, etc of every object or adjust the position of the sun in the sky, etc.

A lot of fun. Reminded me a lot of when I first got to play Spider-man on the PS4 and just swing around the city. Will be great to see where this leads in a year or two once devs have really had time to get a feel for how everything works.
Trivia: We used Julian calendar dating on one of our maintenance systems in the US military. Everyone had to learn this dating, and yes it was quite difficult. I asked and never got a good answer on why it was done this way ("Because it's always been this way.")

It's been so long ago, I don't remember too many details, but someone else may have a better memory and pipe up.

You never pay it off. It's like "the war on crime" or "the war on drugs". Don't call it a war if there is no clear win. You can never win the war, but you MUST win the battles in order to not lose it.
The best way to cook vegetables, according to research papers: https://youtu.be/8aIyb4atRjk
This might not be what you had in mind, but the web framework Django. It's been around for ages and doesn't change in dramatic ways. It's not perfect by any means, but it just works and is reasonably easy to understand and extend if you spend the time to read through its code.

The documentation is good, but I find that it's a little overrated. There are lots of gaps, so spending the time reading through Django's code will pay dividends, especially when it comes to customizing it for your needs.

After years of churning through all sorts of Javascript frameworks, I know that I can build something in Django and only need to spend real maintenance time once every 2 years or so during an LTS release.
Even once a lifetime treatments like vaccines represent a significant customer base as new people are born every year.

The reality is stem cells alone don’t fix aging, stuff like rates of cancer more inherent than can be cured by such things. Stem cells might possibly slow or reverse bone deterioration etc which would be a massive boon, but this stuff isn’t easy or risk free.

Neither are published papers in peer reviewed journals, we need to always treat everything with healthy skepticism. That obesity and bad covid outcomes happen is beyond any doubt, the interesting part for me in this paper is that they try to explain the mechanism for obesity itself being a problem, rather than say diabetes or atherosclerosis.

Honestly, you don't notice it once you get into the Go mindset.

The exception handling looks onerous, and is a pain at the start. But it doesn't take long to get used to it, and then (for me anyway) it becomes second-nature. Everything returns an error, and you have to handle that error (even if only passing it up again).

Static typing is more "fun" when you're exploring new concepts, but interfaces are the key. Defining the interface at the beginning ("what do I need this thing to do?") and then implementing it with a struct/whatever, feels like the right way to do this.
We don't use it because it would be expensive to make, and modern concrete is stronger (by as much as 5 times stronger!)

One of the reasons modern concrete fails is because steel reenforcement, as it corrodes and expands inside structures. Ancient buildings such as the Pantheon rely on compressive strength for support, so they last much longer. We could build building in this way, but it uses a lot of material and would be prohibitively expensive; especially since most building are not long term investments.
So much to learn here, thank you for sharing!

> Were Gandhi/MLK/Rosa Parks wrong when they made a point of breaking unjust laws and encouraging others to follow along?

Your question of right/"wrong" is a matter of morality, not legality. Stealing bread to feed a starving person might be morally good, but legally wrong, and nobody should expect to avoid legal consequences because of it.

In the case of civil disobedience, those involved do NOT attempt to flee from justice. Being arrested and facing the legal system is an integral part.

Keep in mind that the open source projects being mentioned as examples on this press release only tend to affect people established as residents in the European Union.

For example, from the press release:

> “ An example of the benefits of open sourcing is eSignature, a set of free standards, tools and services that help public administrations and businesses accelerate the creation and verification of electronic signatures that are legally valid in all EU Member States.”

In order to use an eSignature, you need to have an eID (electronic ID) card from an EU member state, which is placed in a smart card reader. Some people in the EU do not have eID cards yet. Yes, some countries have apps that allow you to use an eSignature, but generally speaking, your eID is your best bet. Typically, your eID provides the highest authentication level, in terms of security, when dealing with EU or national (country) level services.
I’ve been twice to Athos, staying at different monasteries each time. It’s unreal because the lifestyle there is very rudimentary. They wake up really early and spend most of the day either praying or working. You’ll hear no cars or any other mechanical sound whatsoever. There’s electricity of course, and you can bring a phone or laptop if you so wish, but most people don’t even bother. Add the fact that the region seems idyllic with monasteries buried deep into forests a few minutes walk from the sea and you can understand why spending a week there is so refreshing. By the way, not everyone visiting Athos is religious, nor is required.
