> I wonder if the tricky part is in choosing random vectors?

Sampling vectors from multidimensional random distributions is a well studied problem. For example the open source project https://mc-stan.org implemented several (at the time) state of the art methods like Hamiltonian Monte Carlo with the help of Automatic Differentiation.
As a not-even-really-observer casual observer, game 6 must have just broke him. Even in those rare moments where he had played to an advantage, he unforced-error-blundered it away mere moments later. There were at least two instances where Magnus was so stunned at the nature and plainness of the blunder that he had to collect himself in a "am I walking into a trap, you couldn't have just made that mistake" sort of way. Opening himself to that pawn fork... these weren't carefully laid traps he was falling into. This was shooting himself in the foot and face with Magnus out of the room. Absolutely stunning meltdown. I feel sorry for him, but mental endurance is obviously no small part of the calculus to being world champion and Nepo showed he simply doesn't have it.

I have noticed that sense of "domination" come out in interviews as well. I remember long ago having one interview where the interviewer was asking me to code something which I knew would be impossible to complete in the time allotted. It just seemed so ridiculous to me that I was supposed to write this complete solution in about 30 minutes. I remember how superior he was acting at the start of the interview too, and then after I wrote up the code (unable to complete in the time given, but apparently good enough to make him happy), his tone changed completely of one where he was very friendly as though somehow I passed his "test". I was now worthy of speaking to as an equal, whereas half an hour or more earlier I was some nobody to him.

Another interview I had years later, the interviewer clearly didn't think I was worth his time because he literally got up and started playing with a yo-yo as he threw challenging question after challenging question at me and pressing me harder and harder for solutions ("Imagine you were given task X and nothing more. How would you solve this? What would you do next? If that didn't work, now what would you try?") I remember it was incredibly disrespectful and left a bad taste in my mouth about the team. Thankfully I didn't get the job.

There's envy involved but I do think a large contributing factor is also the fact that what streamers and influencers and the like do, and what their "influencees" do, tends to very much lean towards being very mindless. It's like celebrity worship, except there's this "they're just like you and me!" aspect to it that feels incredibly disingenuous.

Instead of going out and doing things, you have people sitting on their butts watching someone else sit on their butts and do that stuff. Instead of people bettering themselves and going out and getting a girlfriend, you have people paying to pretend those lewd photos of some random girl who mentioned your username on a stream once because you tipped her which means she totally knows you exist and is basically your girlfriend, were taken just for you.

On top of that one of the main goals for these people is to get you to buy products from their sponsors. They're like the used car salesmen who try to buddy up to you and flatter you so you'll buy one of their cars. Except people know used car salesmen are bullshitting them. And people know celebrities aren't like you and me. People connect to streamers and influencers and spend more time worshiping them on a different level that feels unhealthy.

Don't get me wrong, I do think they provide some benefits to society. You can say that these sort of people help others feel like part of a family or whatever, and helps those who have a hard time getting a girlfriend feel better. On the other hand, you could also just point to, for example, the suicide rates which have been trending upward pretty steadily, especially starting with the prevalence of smartphones and such. Or the fact that antidepressant usage has essentially doubled in the past two decades.

Overall, to me, it all just feels like a trend in the wrong direction.

Coming from Minnesota and spending a few years in the SF Bay area it was funny to me how weather I didn't really even consider rain (maybe like heavy fog that was precipitating a little) would grind the highways to a stop.

Whatever the most extreme weather is in a location it tends to grind everything to a halt and generates a lot of exaggeration about how bad things are.

-40 is fun, especially throwing boiling water into the air and how it doesn't hit the ground.

Linus got his start doing product review videos for NCIX which was an online computer hardware shop up here in Canada. He had a fairly severe disagreement about the future of the company (his idea was to compete against amazon with kiosk-style brick and mortar with minimal inventory) so he went independent with his videos. It wasn't really a traditional media thing. NCIX died a couple years ago.
3months is only if you use standard S3, However intelligent tiering , infrequent access , reduced redundancy or glacier instant can be substantially cheaper, without impacting retrieval time [1]

At scale when costs matter, you would have lifecycle policy tuned to your needs taking advantage of these classes. Any typical production workload is hardly paying only S3 base price for all/most of its storage needs, they will have mix of all these too.

[1] if there is substantial data in glacier regular, the costing completely blows through the roof, retrieval +egress makes it infeasible unless you activily hate AWS enough to spend that kind of money
i remember once 'expressing myself' as a 'really cool, open company' -- sf office -- ten or so years ago -- was like some internal blog on our hiring process, which i thought was too much, and i had just gone thru it.

i got a lot of backlash, and strong -- like i had just skinned someone alive and hung them up in the office, School of Americas-style.

it was pretty stupid of me, but i guess i was kind of like 'f it' and also bought into the company hype a bit. i prob said some word or thought that would have gotten me a reprimand here at HN, too.

companies are near-perfect totalitarian regimes, so the idea of 'being able to express yourself' there is pretty ridiculous, imo. all the fired and harassed Starbucks ex/employees know this, amazon unionizing employees, google anti-war employees, etc.
Why is this hard, and can’t just be written down somewhere as part of the engineering discipline? This aspect of systems in 2021 really shouldn’t be an “art.”
You can approximate it and throw away some samples to get the true distribution. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ziggurat_algorithm for one method which I believe statistical languages like R currently use to generate normal random variables.
I like keeping in touch with former colleagues and friends and giving them a thumbs up when they share something they are proud of.

I’m grateful to have some sense of job security from the weekly recruiter messages I get.

The fake enthusiasm was a big feature at my last company and it got us nowhere. It’s a red flag for me and as an manager, I’d be very skeptical of a candidate who spent too much time trying to be an influencer on LinkedIn.

No, only 6 years ago. In 2011 they hadn't even started selling the Model S.
The kinetic energy of a car at 9 m/s (20 mph) is about 15 Wh, depending on its weight. The kinetic energy of a bullet is about 0.2 Wh.

This obviously doesn't quite translate, but the amount of damage you can do with a car is massive, even at that speed. Also consider the weight, eg when rolling over a pedestrian.
It's just "Elo", not "ELO" - it's not an acronym, but rather named after the guy who created it.

Dropping Elo after winning an event isn't really that 'wonky' - it's just a Bayesian update for underperforming your statistical expectations. The same thing happened when Carlsen won the Candidates in 2013, he went +5=7-2, but he was 2872 rating against a field of 2774, so 8.5/14 would mean he loses ~6 rating.
I mean that's another problem - America's general "killing people in other countries is ok if it might be the enemy" results in unending variations of this. The current bout of bombing civilians started in with the invasion of Afghanistan in 2001 (I think?), but before that they aggressively bombed Vietnam.

But there is a real difference between indifference to collateral deaths and actively trying to eliminate entire races/religions/etc, and so it's important not to fall into both-sidesism.
That's why Waymo decided to go all in with driverless vehicles, instead of progressively adding features and autonomy to a driver-lead car, they discovered "drivers" get complacent easily.
They already do that. Check out https://nlnet.nl/ and other NGI programs.
One problem with this field is that the 'art' is different than the 'work', meaning that if you want to marvel in your creations and output beautiful, readable, documented, and properly refactored code, you usually don't have the time to do so because you are under a time constraint and to deliver a product. Here's management is important - if in addition the requirements constantly change and you're battling to get something QA'ed and stabilized, it gets even worse.

That's why I balance this with my own toy projects and open source work. In open source, there are usually no deadlines, and so it comes as a better substrate for for creativity.
Osage orange produces wood that is the 2nd hardest in America, behind the live oak. It's exceptionally resistant to decay and insect attack. I've seen osage fence posts that are at least 70 years old and are none the worse for wear. If we could breed a variety that grew straight, it'd be a great source of dense decay resistant timber. Interestingly, the common mulberry is one of its closest relatives, and its wood has similar properties (but usually smaller and not quite as hard / dense). It's too bad there isn't more research being done around osage orange and its potential commercial value. Perhaps genetic modification will help.
Sure you can. Firewall AWS off from whatever machine does the health checks in the redundancy implementation.

The northern part of MN and the NE half of NoDak are both north of the Laurentian Divide. Water flows north 'above' it. (The 'Divide' splits 3 watersheds at once near Hibbing, MN.)

[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:NorthAmerica-WaterDivides...]

The land between the Arctic and the Divide is still quite flat as a result of the last glaciation (it filled up with meltwater for a few thousand years). There isn't much topography to slow the cold air down. Cities north of that green-line have historically been the coldest.

> Although we entertained occasional thoughts about implementing one of the major languages of the time like Fortran, PL/I, or Algol 68, such a project seemed hopelessly large for our resources: much simpler and smaller tools were called for. All these languages influenced our work, but it was more fun to do things on our own.

I'll limit my comments to the coins themselves. I've always been amazed at the remarkable quality and the height of the relief on many ancient coins.

Not only are many of these designs quite beautiful but also the fact that the high relief used on many of the dies was transferred with high accuracy to the coins is a great tribute to the excellent skill and craftsmanship of those early metalworkers.

Methods to simulate a Normal distribution doesn’t really help you simulate a measured distribution of data, which was the stated problem, wasn’t it? The parent comment’s suggestion to use the tabulated Inverse Transform method is already likely to be the optimal choice for simulating a discrete data distribution. There’s one alternative called the Alias Method that is fast to sample, but uses a discontinuous mapping so it compromises your ability to benefit from stratified or Quasi-Random sampling, which means it loses significant efficiency for Monte Carlo applications and thus doesn’t get used very often. (This is true of Ziggurat as well, and aside from Ziggurat the SO page you linked only has two other decent suggestions and one of them is the Inverse Transform method. Box-Muller is historically interesting, but I think doesn’t really “compete”.) So, anyway, FWIW, it doesn’t really seem super nuanced. I’m guessing the article’s author was just writing for a non-technical audience and isn’t clearly stating the problems being investigated by the COINFLIPS team.

Phones probably don't interfere with medical equipment--patients use phones all the time with no issues. Not to mention most medical equipment is subject not only to the usual FCC electronics regulations on electromagnetic interference but additional regulations. A quick google search suggests the reason is likely more related to super long battery life, and the un-ignorable nature of the alerts (a text message or call is easy to ignore or fade into the background).
And India. Nobody has even thought of tackling third-world-country roads, and with the slow and city-specific progress that is being made, I think there will be a huge gap in self-driving capabilities between countries, akin to the huge internet divide in the 80s/90s.

It's the AI paradox. Before you solve a problem, like playing superhuman chess, people say "that's hard, you'd need real Artificial Intelligence to do that!"

After you solve the problem, they see the solution and say "wait, that's just engineering, not real AI".

If the setup is that portable you probably don't need the AWS at all in the first place.

If your use only services built and managed by your docker images why use the cloud in the first place ? It would be cheaper to host on a smaller vendor , the reliability is not substantially better with big cloud than tier two vendors, that difference between say OVH and AWS is not that valuable to most applications to be worth the premium.

In IMO, if you don't leverage cloud native services offered by GCP or AWS then cloud is not adding much value to your stack.
> No it’s not, I can’t sign a PDF goddammit

It was painful to watch. I often sign PDF documents on Linux. I see three ways of doing it:

- using annotations in the PDF viewer. Okular supports this, I think Evince too. So you don't have to install anything normally

- using Xournal. That's was I do.

- Pasting an image of your signature using LibreOffice Draw. I know someone doing this.

It's pretty simple and you don't need to install Wine + a Windows software to do this. But you have to know it I guess. I'm sure I would be in a similar situation as them, should I have to sign a PDF document on macOS or Windows. I know the PDF viewer on macOS does that from observing former colleagues. On Windows I would just install Xournal I guess.

There could be a "Sign this PDF" button in PDF viewers to make this common action obvious and solve this particular use case.
As TFA mentions, DLNA implementations were terrible. I had two DLNA devices and both of them could only play a very limited number of formats over compared to what they could play over USB. It took me days of fiddling with ffmpeg options to find the combination of codecs and container formats that would work.

After all of that, the only format that worked on both of them was MPEG2 in a transport stream main-profile at 480p with MP3 audio. They both would play high-def content but there was no combination I found that would do high-def and worked on both of them.

Meanwhile just about any H.264 muxed with just about any audio (even Vorbis) worked just fine on both on a USB stick.

Personally, I don't care that it's age old. It's still not okay, and I don't care whether it's better or worse in modern times. I'm not even sure how far outside of propaganda some of this stuff falls, which ironically has the opposite reception from the public.

I had the same experience when I visited harbin. I knew t was -40C, the ice sculptures clued me in that it was cold, but indoor heating plus dressing appropriately meant I could barely tell. Well, except my digital camera battery lost its charge super quickly (this was back in 2005 or so).

The coldest winter I experienced was in southern China, it was 5C but the humidity, and more importantly, lack of central indoor heating everywhere wore you down very quickly.
Like the fresh take on pricing: 12EUR/y but you also tell people the workaround.

Heh. I have 25 years experience and I fail phone screens too. :-D

It's fine, though. TFA goes into ways to improve the hiring process such that this sort of thing doesn't happen. But I don't mind it at all. I want to fail fast; if the company decides I'm not the right candidate, great, I'm glad it happened before we wasted time with more extensive interviews.

There are two possibilities. If they're right and I'm not a good fit, I don't want that job because I won't be successful there. If they're wrong, I don't want that job because the company isn't being successful at hiring me. The hiring process is looking for the wrong attributes, or the interviewer isn't properly trained, or... well, something, somewhere has gone wrong. There are no false negatives.

A company that's firing on all cylinders does a lot of hiring, and is good at it. They source solid candidates, and interview them thoroughly but quickly. If they're not hiring effectively, well, they're probably dysfunctional in other areas too.
From what I have seen at hospitals in the US the doctors and nurses being overworked doesn't really have anything to do with a shortage of staff. It is more the culture of the business. Hospitals could hire more nurses and doctors and work normal 8 hour shifts. But, a large percentage of medical errors happen at shift changes so there is pressure to have less shift changes.
None of the three things you describe affixes a digital signature, just an image of a signature. If you need to sign a PDF for some legal purpose, you need the former, not the latter.
