I find that an often under-appreciated perspective around big networks is the information-theoretical one, or at the risk of oversimplifying: the compression one. (The deep relationships between learning theory and information theory are of course well-known to researchers and sophisticated practitioners, but IMHO don’t get enough airtime).

When you think about training a (not terribly overfit) model as a crop in the Fourier domain, a lot of these results are fairly natural to intuit about, which of course takes nothing away from how cool they are! :)

This is a very simplistic view.
You can rate moves not only by result with objective play but also by how hard it is to play against using objective measure (for example move A is better than move B is to draw against A you need a top engine with 20 seconds per move while against move B only 2 seconds are needed).

Saying all moves are the same is like saying all mazes are equally hard.
Regarding the static list that Google is so graciously allowing us: When is it read by Chrome? Can we submit new lists whenever we want? Are there new API calls for manipulating the block-list?

Ugh this change really pisses me off, truly Google has fallen so far. Kind of like the promise of the web. :(
Exactly. Licensed attorney's typically avoid any commentary at all that could be construed as advice, to avoid creating a relationship. So if someone is sticking their neck out, it is hard to imagine there isn't an ulterior motive in telling everyone to lawyer up when they get a letter.

Not that their advice is wrong - you should consult a lawyer over internet advice. But the "everyone else is wrong, listen to me" flavor is a bit heavy-handed.
That doesn’t make any sense — a carbon tax has the positive feedback cycle you’re describing. Cryptocurrency doesn’t have that effect because it doesn’t care about the source of the power it’s wasting — as we’ve seen with coal plants coming online — and the waste has no connection to benefits so the demand is insatiable, and miners will use whatever source is cheapest after exhausting surplus renewables no matter its pollution profile.
wow thank you for the context!
You're probably sick of this conversation by now :). But at least in radio applications I think that acf[0] is normalized so that it's 1 (typically). And again the ACF is calculated at several lag arguments and the sum is used to build the final graph / array.

But you obviously know more about this than me, I'm just putting out what I know. Your paragraph above, I actually copied so I can study it a few times. So thanks.
For sure, and I'm not disputing your experience at all but there are hundreds of much vaguer "they're a bad company" style posts that don't have direct experience though.

It's entirely possible that they've improved some of the cost monitoring and management facilities as well. Under "Governance and Administration" you can set a budget -- notably budgets are alerts and not hard budgets, so one should act accordingly -- not only based on actual spend, but even for period forecast spend. It's a great rapid awareness if you accidentally enable a pay feature. There are also regularly updated graphs showing the daily spend charted by source of cost, along with multiple-per-day CSVs with billing details. Another way the Oracle cloud actually helps is that it actually isolates you to a single region (you have to go through a process to do otherwise), so it's harder to have the situation people would encounter on Amazon where they'd accidentally create some resource off in some other region and then it's effectively invisible but costly (though AWS now has the global dashboard that really improved that).

What is "free" or not could be clearer. For instance they have a terminology issue with a conflict between "Free tier" and "always free". Sometimes they use the former to refer to things during the trial period. Sometimes they use the latter to refer to resources that are free forever even after you've upgraded to an ostensibly pay account. It is confusing. And they make the two AMD instances just straight "always free", but for the ARM instance they give a monthly CPU/memory credit that allows you to run it for 31 days.

And then you have to search on various other things you regularly do figure out what is free or not, and that information is dispersed. For instance you can have so many volume images beyond which they are charged, etc.

Alas, I've been extremely pleased with the service. The console is a bit clunky in places but it works.
Semantics. If your bar for calling someone a "creator" is that low, then nearly everyone is a creator in what they do. But we have different classifications because applying one label to most of the population is not very useful.

…he stated (in that interview) using hash tables within the compiler as of v2.0? yes! ;-)

Also, modern xeons can do 32 dual precision floating point ops per cycle, per core. Since they have dozens of cores, that’s another factor of 1000, with your 10x overhead estimate for the C64, that brings the speedup to ~ a billion. (96,000 * (10 to 150x) * 1000 ~= 1-10 billion)
Creator here. I wanted to give people the ability to have the ability to print them out for personal use or buy from a seller. Early in the project someone attempted to commercially take it over so I chose this licenses. Is it perfect? no. You can of course design your own, but mine are provided under that license. See some projects like Elastic, Sentry, etc have run into similar licensing issues when trying to provide something to the community for free.
> Games like Getting Over It are also a special case, because their state is almost entirely defined by the position of the character in the game environment. They do have a clear ending, but failure is implicitly measured by how much forwards progress you lose when you fall. A mistake which takes you all the way back to the start is analogous to dying and starting a new game, though, so that still feels like the game has win and lose conditions.

As one of Getting Over It's appreciators, I offer a different perspective: Progress is not measured by the position of the character, but by the growth of the player. A mistake which drops you back to the beginning of the game is progress; you've learned something, and you have an opportunity to learn more while getting back up. The only way to fail is to give up. The true ending of the game isn't even when the credits roll, it's when you voluntarily ride the snake.

To understand how academic institutions in Israel deal with "embarrassing" professors, one need only look at the experiences of Ilan Pappe. He was exiled from Haifa University simply because he came to the defense of a master's thesis (not even his own student) that pointed out the massacre in Tantura (1948). Pappe was called a traitor and an enemy of the people.

Because the string concatenation requires allocation of a new string, which will need to be garbage collected, regardless of whether or not the log.debug actually needs it.

Using a format and args lets you call the method with only references to existing objects, no additional string needs to be allocated unless the log method actually needs to generate the string to log (and it might even be able to use streaming to output the log and never even allocate the string)

When you’re doing things like putting trace logs with all your parameters in at the top of every method call, the memory and GC pressure of generating unnecessary strings can be significant.
Ad blockers will no longer be able to have granular and complete control over requests. Extensions will still be able to observe requests, but not edit them on the fly based on advanced and dynamic criteria.

Extensions will no longer be able to neutralize all current and future evasion techniques the advertising and tracking industry implements. Ad blocking and tracking protection extensions will be forced to degrade technologically by about 5 years, and then stagnate.

Argue with the weather if you have sufficient experience. I can't tell you how many times folks said something couldn't be done but with sufficient technical leadership they were able to break through far sooner than expected.

There is no doppler radar for software.
You are absolutely right about crypto and gambling, I was thinking more about legacy banking, mortgages, that sort of thing. Gambling is inherently a form of gaming.

>Most of my managers relied on the senior engineers to essentially drive the roadmap, do the estimates, lead design, break down the work, delegate, and lead the implementation.

You mean they were good managers who know how to bring out the best out of their engineers?

Some of the best managers out there today can't code out of a wet paper bag and yet generate billions of value for their companies.
I'd love to know what that means in plain English especially since the trademark has already been granted.
Baseball is just golf for the working class
Yes, it is. A lot of companies run like you've seen, but that's not how it should be.

For instance, if I have to talk to tech people about that aspect of a project I'm working on, if we're talking about technical risk, I should have some different perspectives from a senior engineer that will influence our back and forth. For example, it's common for engineers to switch jobs every year or two and knowing that means I would know to ask questions specifically about what our tech risk would look like if we don't update the stack/tools for the next five years (say if I know the exec team won't fund upgrades or the non-technical parts of the organization are resistant to change). Or if we'd be able to hire engineers to maintain whatever product in 3 years: Is it being taught? Are there enough engineers on the market with this expertise that we could replace someone if necessary? Can we AFFORD to? (Will the execs/HR pay for the expertise if it's a rare skillset?) Etc.

And I wouldn't consider myself qualified to manage a team of engineers; I'd expect more skills and insight from people who are genuinely qualified.
It would help if you use a lock file and/or pin to badges of dependency versions.
I would disagree with the idea that maths is man-made. It is discovered. If it were man made, then we should have power to change it as we wish.

But you could still say: A mathematical structure is analysing mathematics.
I had a 4 letter domain name. A stock photo company trademarked the name and then threatened to sue to force transfer. However, I registered the domain before they registered the trademark. I looked up the ICANN rules and saw I had priority. Pointed out the ICANN rule and told to go away. They did.

IANAL; this is not legal advice.
Oh that's a good thought! I figured that would be factored into the "feels like" number on the weather forecast though?
My only take away after reading everything you've posted in this thread is that you are committed to the idea that exposing war crimes is a bigger crime than war crimes themselves.

Hopefully that's not what you mean to convey.

Some clarification would go a long way.
I have worked for many years on fitness trackers from https://www.jointcorp.com. Talking with them, they sent PDF files for the communications protocol (Bluetooth Low Energy). I wrote a generic codec that consumes a YAML file and could decode packets from these devices to Python objects, and which could take a Python API call for a function you didn't write and encode it to binary packets the watch could understand. Practically, when we needed to use another device, I just added to the YAML file and the thing worked with practically no code change. New watch with GPS data? Just add to the YAML file and magic happens. Watch with blood pressure feature? Just add a few lines to the YAML file and magic happens.

The code was on a Raspberry PI in which a 3G/4G dongle was plugged, and it connected to the watch, uploaded data, was robust do disconnection events either internet or BLE (used Thespian and the Actor model to create and kill actors). The devices were geographically distributed on different timezones (a fucking nightmare) and basically needed to work for users with zero technical skills. It needed to be plug and play and it just works. Even configuring the pairing between a Raspberry PI and the watch needed to be low touch (I used the analogy of a dog and a hand: you put your hand out for the dog to smell and recognize you, you put the watch nearby the Raspberry PI and it computed the RSSI and duration to detect the "intent" so it didn't pair with "drive-by" devices). Kind of like NFC, but for BLE. The data was sent to a backend, then displayed on a mobile application (the prototype had a Grafana dashboard that showed your activity in near-real time).

Talk with them. They'll probably send you the PDF spec and you can do whatever you want.
It looked cool, but then it’s not open source. Too much risk for a bait and switch.

Good suggestion, but silently switching is giving a pass to this kind of behavior from the market-dominant browser.

Making some noise alongside the switch is a more effective way of preventing user-hostile changes.
Yes, but most dependencies are generally from different authors so the chance of malicious actors goes up with dependencies.
I should hope not. The US having that kind of legal say in what my ISP in Europe can do would be worrisome.
Not OP but I'm currently writing a game in C: just throw yourself into it. The language itself is minimal enough that you probably won't need much guidance other than looking up library functions and with modern tools like the various sanitizers in clang and valgrind it's hard to go too wrong.

General remarks for these types of posts:

- People often mention 0 countries. Where do you operate? Where was your company founded? How about the other company? Etc. How do you know if that helpful comment doens't assume something totally different?

- Are you really going to feel confident about your legal situation after reading comments on a platform like Hacker News?
If I’m not mistaken the lawsuit can be filed but you can win a challenge to jurisdiction. But in order to challenge jurisdiction you need to hire a bar certified attorney in that jurisdiction… thus defeating the point
Firefox show ads for Firefox all the time. The “WE CARE ABOUT YOUR PRIVACY” tab that opens every second time, is the most “big browser” warning to me. Anyone who says so much that they care (while asking me to create an account to upload my browser history, which is the best antipattern in our surveillance states) can’t possibly be honest.

Plus they fire CEOs who are against at-will abortion, so they’re literally against my religion. And they’re not selecting on technical ability but on political opinions.
> From what I can see the only arms that are prohibited are ones that don't have a legal use (ie sawnoff shotguns)

Not really, the sawnoff shotguns thing is an anachronism. The National Firearms Act (NFA) which restricted sawnoff shotguns (not completely banned) was originally intended to restrict all handguns, presumably because they're concealable and useful for crime. To make a handgun ban meaningful, it was going to also restrict short barrel shotguns and rifles. The handgun restrictions got dropped from the NFA for political reasons, but the short barrel shotgun and rifle restrictions remained.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Firearms_Act#Backgrou...

You can still acquire/manufacture a short barrel shotgun or rifle, but you have do paperwork for it and from what I've seen nobody really values short barrel shotguns enough for this to be common. However if you did do all the paperwork and made or bought one, then subsequently used it for self defense, that would be legal.

Also they're legal in Canada: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sawed-off_shotgun#Canada

Wow, yep definitely a tree. Only seen as shrub in Europe, and very rare.
Some types of tornado proof homes are not the big square concrete type, like shown in the sibling comment article, but dome homes made out of concrete. The obvious issues are that most furniture doesn’t fit well, wall hangings don’t work correctly, and putting in interior walls is wasteful, while modifying anything for electric or water is quite difficult without careful planning.

If your technical knowledge is 20 years out of date, as an individual contributor you can't be hired although worst case you can't do much damage. On the other hand if your technical knowledge is 20 years out of date, then its much safer for the company to put you in charge of direction and goal setting and hiring decisions and so forth.

A Visual Basic 6 programmer "can't" be hired to program in Javascript, although its the same people and skills 25 years apart. However put that VB6 programmer in a management role and somehow that completely obsolete technical skillset is "invaluable", LOL.

This sort of looks like template document. An actual attorney would send paper letter, not an email.
Not a lawyer, but...

If OP has first use in commerce that predates theirs they could start, or threaten to start, the paperwork to have the trademark tossed. If they see you are asking questions that aren't a response to bullying, but that would precede a legal an attack their trademark directly, they might find themselves on a different footing.

Regardless, the possibility, I would think puts you in a better negotiating position if you're looking for an offer, or just want to make them go away.

Seeing a lawyer is likely the way to go. Also, I notice you use the term "solicitor" which makes me think any US law-based answers are less likely to be grounded in reality for you, so add more than your usual pinch of salt to anything you see here, including what I wrote!

While true that reproducibility is the truly useful filter, peer review is still a valid pre-filter.

Do you believe peer review suffers from both false positives and false negatives (type I and II errors, don't remember which is which)?

As a side note, we need better terminology than type I and II or false positive/negative. Type I and II is completely opaque to meaning. False positive and negative is unclear because sometimes the negative is desirable and othertimes the positive is desirable.

Maybe RDO and AUO: rejected desirable option and accepted undesirable option.

No. The problem is: there are too many people willing to work in game development in bad conditions. If supply dwindled, the game companies will have to improve working conditions or face huge delays in delivering their next cash cow.

Yeah, but I never seen people locking the dependencies to an exact version, probably to get small fixes and important security ones.

But then you still have issues with packages depend on npm website existing in future or even some packages are just linking to a git repo directly so if the repo is gone or giuthub is gone you(or others) can't re-create your project.
What _would_ joining the union mean for employees?

Most people in tech are used to differences in pay from person to person, with raises and bonuses allocated yearly (or some other time period) based on a review of the last year’s performance.

Would this end, with pay flat across the board?
