Source please?
> I jest, but this all sounds like a lot more trouble to get the experience you want than most Linux distros would give you

I feel like this is an opportunity to delve into a classic, IRC like "Windows vs Linux vs macOS" debate here, but instead I'll simply state a well known, agreed upon truth in our industry: Linux is an absolute joke on the desktop. Even Torvalds thinks it's a mess.

Build your desktop from scratch if you like. It's your time. It's your life. But please don't mislead people into thinking Linux (on the desktop) comes even remotely close to Windows or macOS in terms of a good user experience out of the box.
It's not any one thing. Warm. Dry, still no snow (or rain). High winds, 115mph @ Rocky Flats, 75+ in Boulder, and a power cable downed by wind that started the fire, high density housing made from highly flammable materials...

Ok they could all be related I guess.
Basically every RNG you interact with on general purpose computers is a pseudo random number generator. The kernel RNG being discussed here is a CSPRNG, as was the one it replaced.
> it's harder to game and/or bullshit. . . it's possible to benchmark against others,

I don't have access to A/B testing of a large business to understand how things affect responses. But I certainly intuit that there is a significance in when/how you ask someone for feedback. e.g. If you ask your question directly after the checkout screen you'll get a significantly different response than if you survey people randomly who visit your website, or email customers a set period after making a purchase/ upon transaction completion.

I've seen all these, which brings me to the second part, how do you benchmark against a competitors data, and why would you trust a competitors data?

Note to self/for record: I just turned my computer on the next day and found myself signed out. "!!!"ing I checked a spare phone I'm always signed in to HN on, and found myself signed out there too.

I'm still signed in on the phone I was using last night.

So this looks like some sort of "sign out of all accounts" thing happened, which I don't think could be connected to a password breach. Whew!
There's still a lot to the argument that they were taking a sledgehammer to Swartz in order to make an example of him. It's just that no part of the real argument involves him doing 50 years.
The Republican Party doesn't have to be monolithic for Peter Thiel to be a Republican, which he is.

In particular, Thiel's hawkish military views and (seeming) comfort with just about everything the police and MIC do as long as it pays him puts him thoroughly at odds with stated libertarian orthodoxy.
This is definitely the case for me at least. I spent a lot of time in the New England woods as a kid and had lots of tick bites. Nowadays I am more cautious, but when I occasionally do get a bite I have a strong reaction at the site and usually find the tick very quickly that way because it’s itchy and inflamed.

A) I am not sure I'd say blake2 obsoletes blake, and certainly blake3 does not obsolete b2. They are a family, but still different algorithms.

B) blake3, afaik, is not yet as thoroughly vetted as b2.

C) I think some of the hype around b3 is deserved. It's crazy fast. If you don't care about crypto at all (e.g. file dedup), it's absolutely phenomenal. But the main downside of B3 right now is just novelty. Cryto algos are like fine wines.

D) I don't know enough about Keccak vs Blake, but just because Blake2 has received less scrutiny, doesn't mean it's insufficient. I'm sure there are tradeoffs that the kernel editors have chosen.

To you question: no idea. But I know my aunt has a Honda CR-V that needs to go back to the shop every 1-4 months to get a cable harness serviced and they have to take apart a huge part of the car to do it.

Big oops on their part the integrity measure failed and results in hours of maintenance to repair it

Not really AI writing code, but it has only taken about a month for me to get used to just always having GitHub’s GPT-3 based code completion and suggestion always there in PyCharm and VSCode.

The OP asked about the next 50 years ago. If I look back 50 years I was mostly coding in FORTRAN using punched cards. What hasn’t changed is that so much of programming is still persistence in getting things to work. But of course, our tools now are so much better than 50 years ago.

If I only go back 40 years, then I was programming on my own Xerox 1108 Lisp Machine, and loving it.
I’d wager you could survey 100 cryptographers and at least 90 would say the AES-256 primitive itself will never be practically broken, even by large-scale quantum computers. Related-key attacks aren’t realistic or practical.

One of the most common contexts for NPS scoring is giving them to direct retail customers as a phone/email followup survey. This is the most dangerous context for it, because a customer who isn't familiar with the system, is sort of primed to have the wrong expectations.

They're thinking in terms of "how satisfied was I", which is a different scale entirely with "would you recommend the product". But the NPS question, even when explicitly explained, reads close enough that they'll answer it with the "how satisfied am I" answer,

NPS might have worked in a context of a professionally proctored focus group where everyone understood the question and discussed it, but I'm worried you're losing a lot of information when you turn it to one digit on a keypad.
I picked up on that reference too. I was about to type it up when I saw your comment. I think it went over a lot of heads.
What’s more interesting to me than the NPS scores are the free form comment section below the 0-10 rating.

Never mind that anything below X is considered neutral or a detractor. You asked a user / customer/ etc to rate you on a scale of 1-10 and then tell you why.

Want to know what you’re truly screwing up on? Take the feedback on your 1-6 scores seriously and you can find the low hanging fruit to take a product from mediocre to a great user experience.

That’s the true NPS value. It’s all about how you handle the feedback.
Are you asking about technologies or are you asking about knowledge?

New technology often replaces old technology, but new theory (in math/CS) generally extends older theory, and problem-solving techniques are often timeless. So if you're looking to learn things that will be relevant in the long-term, your answer is likely algorithms, data structures, and the like. They're not going to be rendered irrelevant by the passage of time; they're going to become more fundamental as we build more advanced theories on top of them.

If the kind of stuff you're into is more like Rust, React, or whatever, then the stuff useful 50+ years from now probably won't be those particular technologies, but the ideas behind them. So instead of learning Rust, you'd need to learn about topics like abstract interpretation and formal verification. (Or to put it another way: try to figure out how to make a Rust compiler, vs. learning how to use it.) If you're into event-based technologies or like parallel programming, go learn about the various models of computation (there are lots) and their strengths and weaknesses. There's a lot of prior literature and research in areas you might not expect, and you'll be surprised how often research from half a century ago suddenly becomes relevant again (like it did with parallel computing). If you like PyTorch, go learn about optimization and machine learning (and I'm not referring to neural network architectures here). There are grad courses on all of this stuff if you go searching around. You'll probably have to put in more effort into them than you'd need to put into learning React or Go, but that's life.
Thiel didn’t just vote for Trump. The OP stated he did more than that. And from what I’ve read he has done more than that too.
True, but in this case the comments really aren’t about this single Twitter thread, but the use of Twitter threads in lieu of a Webpage. This discussion is of current and general relevance about that particular format, using this great content as an example. It’s not that common in this case.

Not a topic hijacking, but indirectly meeting a need that hasn’t been met by anyone posting an article addressing the Twitter thread issue as it has evolved over the last several months. This discussion has the benefit of a concrete example. Perhaps someone could post an article that focuses just on Twitter threads and the discussion can continue there?
Yes but the knowledge of how it was created affects how I see it. If it’s just denoising etc it feels different than if I know it’s painted in some other data.

Disclaimer: I voted for Biden but only because I felt like he was the least-worst option. I am no fan of political parties but affiliate with one of them because they ostensibly represent a decent cross-section of my values. I'd be more than happy to point out their flaws another time.

Hunter Biden clearly had no qualifications for the BOD role other than his last name. That part would be a challenge to disprove and and I'm not going to make such a claim.

But what that apparently purchased is not clear to me, and I'm not willing to go through Infowars level of "intelligence" to try and decipher. The politics in that sector were dirty AF and I've not seen anything to date that shows the corruption went to his father.

But since we're using the word "corruption" and discussing the office of the President, it would be fair to ask the same probing questions of his predecessor. So do you have any qualms about that man? The one who has volumes of questionable legal behavior documented well before he took office?

If the answer is no, then we're done here -- I have to save energy to "debate" with my anti-vaxxer uncle. If yes, then please demonstrate you care about corruption regardless of party line.
> First counterpoint: As long as data type information isn't completely messed up, I can dump excel spreadsheets in a database, or dump database CSVs in a data lake, and start querying them right away using SQL with complex joins using auto-completion from the dataset alone.

In your example, all you have is data and no foreign keys, that's the show stopper? That means you have all the relationships in your head and that's how you can write complex joins right away? Sure, if that's the case, then you can't use foreign keys since you don't have any. Don't see how this would be a counterpoint though. There is nothing forcing you to use JOIN FOREIGN, you could just do what you describe.
But I'm sure you are aware many databases have foreign keys for all relationships to enforce referential integrity. I should have mentioned in the proposal, the scope is limited to such databases.

I enjoyed your example though. I want to share a similar example. It happened to me at least a few times, I've had to deal with data, shipped as multiple CSV files, but without any schema at all. What I tend to do then is to quickly write a very loose data model with mostly text columns, to accept any values. Once the CSVs are in SQL, I can then clean up the data step by step, by inspecting the tables and converting the text columns to proper data types.
Next, when suspecting some column(s) in some table seem to be referencing some other column(s) in some other table, based on the content of the columns in both tables, I then try to add a FOREIGN KEY with a suitable name between such column(s). If successful, we know there is referential integrity between the columns, and we know also have a name to describe such relationship. Win-win!
Otherwise if the foreign key could not be created, I investigate what rows that only appear in the referencing table that are not present in the referenced table, using a NOT EXISTS (...) query. If the extra rows can safely be deleted, such as if e.g. forgetting to handle empty string values as NULL values, I can then try to create the foreign key again.
Besides 'facile' and 'facility', there are a few other words from the same root: 'faculty', 'facultative', 'facilitate'.

Technical books 1.) Have the LOWEST resale value out of any another other published material. Versions of new software outpace the updates and changes and thusly are placed on sale and bargain bins.

Even authors complain about changes and versions in the foreword.

2.) Reinventing the wheel is common practice. If one is unable to see the same replicated patterns in technological adoption on only look at ideological standards of industrialzation. From Mainframe and Dumb Terminals.. to Cloud computing and updated hardware.

3.) Keep a set of decent cookbook style recipes and in the meantime go help a Rosetta Stone project website rebuild/remake a algorithm or pattern in the "new" format.

4.) Trends are meaninless and create new complications later down the road. More so with relying on libraries that were rewritten from the ground up to "just work". Time to rewrite your ASM to C to Perl to C+ to Java to C++ to Python to .Net to Euler to Go to Rust.

5.) Stay off the hampster wheel of training if you haven't been replaced by an offsite worker it just means the automation system isn't ready yet.

Find out why LISP is was always going to be a ultra expensive waste of time. Find out why Plan 9 was never made sane. Stay away fron the insanity of being controlled by market forces.

Then again, things do actually change. The world and societies within it have been through darker periods and lighter periods.

It seems to be cyclical, so there's actually a lot of truth to the notion of better times (as well as worse times).

You're right, it's way too subtle. I'll fix that!

A bigger issue is I realized the weights downloaded do not include the data preprocessing... So proper model export will unfortunately take more work before it's fully ready to use.

NGOs may not be so great but at least going to work for one shows willingness to sacrifice. We have a lot of people on the internet very willing to condemn others but not in anyway sacrificing any of their own comfort over their apparently stringent moral beliefs on every imaginable subject.
Most internal surveys at my company use a scale of 1 to 6, where 1=4 and 5=6. Our managers can’t even see an improvement from “terrible” to “fairly decent” in the underlying distribution.

Sometimes they require writing something to justify a bad score (but not a good score!)
Fundamentals about how a CPU works, machine code, caches, memory, etc. have not changed for 50 years. Well, they have and they haven't I guess. But high frequency highly pipelined speculative out of order CPUs with several levels of cache and much slower memory have been pretty "unchanging" for almost 30 years. That is to say they've also changed a lot, but fundamentally extremely recognizable and many of the major basic techniques for extracting good performance are the same. Multiprocessing and SIMD/vector processing are significantly more common now, but they were around back then too.
Wouldn't they even move different parts of the scene differently for summing up? And the summing is for denoising, not for rising levels out of darkness, so it would be perfectly fine to sum only the parts where there is plenty of confidence about the movement, leaving others noisy (or, if more noisy than one would like to admit, de-noise spatially instead of temporally in those places, which brings us back to blurry. Add an "unsharp mask" step to compensate and you get that watercolors look we all know).

Back to moving different parts differently: this seems very similar to the motion prediction parts of video encoding. I wonder if and how much the stacking algorithms make direct use of elements of the video encoding implementations those cameras also have?

“The first step is to measure whatever can be easily measured. This is OK as far as it goes. The second step is to disregard that which can't be easily measured or to give it an arbitrary quantitative value. This is artificial and misleading. The third step is to presume that what can't be measured easily really isn't important. This is blindness. The fourth step is to say that what can't be easily measured really doesn't exist. This is suicide.”

> Just like a gun doesn't care if it's pointing at your foot when you pull the trigger, most (all??) programming languages will let you do something stupid if you insist on doing so.

Well, right, but that's the exact reason why we have stuff like safety switches on guns. While it's your own prerogative if you truly wish to blow your foot off, accidentally injury is something we generally care about preventing. It's not even a question of if kernels written in C have severe memory corruption issues, it's a matter of how many. Many companies have simply given up on trying to find them all and are instead pouring hundreds of millions into making exploitation hard (see: ARM's Pointer Authentication, which is 100% useless unless you expect to encounter memory corruption). While I love C and think it's a great language, "don't shoot your damn foot off, duh" is just something that doesn't work in practice.
