To clarify, I mean if the columns of a 3x3 matrix A are A1, A2, and A3, and the scalar elements of vector x are <x1, x2, x3> then Ax = x1*A1 + x2*A2 + x3*A3. Each column of A is scaled by an element of x and then added together.

Is that what you had in mind by the dot-product explanation? To me, the dot product explanation is that in Ax = b, b1 = <row1 of A> dot x, b2 = <row2 of A> dot x, and b3 = <row3 of A> dot x.

Of course these (and all other valid) interpretations of matrix multiplication are "the same", but this is less geometrically intuitive to me.
Sure, say you wanted 3 different proxies, you could create 1 VF instance each per proxy, and connect to each one in a different browser tab.

You could also just have 3 iframes in the same tab.
I've spent last 5 years with MongoDB and currently trying to use Postgres for my pet project. Alas, it seems to me that Postgres is not really production-ready.

It needs external connection manager (pgbouncer). Replication is very basic: one should do a backup/restore first and then start a replication praying in the meantime for WAL not to run too far. Until version 13 (released year ago) it was either that, or dedicated replication slot will overflow the disk and kill your master if any replica falls out of sync.

No automatic failover out of the box? That's not what I used to with Mongo. Come on, even Redis learned that trick (with Sentinel, yes, but it is part of the package).

Continuous WAL archiving and point-in-time-recovery is a nice feature, but it needs fs-level backup, not the one from pg_dump. What pg_dump is for, then?

Need time and experience to wrap my head around all this.
Why?

Absurd is really cool. I've always thought it would be great to have an SQL db implemented in native JS though.

With the database running in the same process as your app, you could store native JS Objects of your table rows in the cache, which you could bind events to. So if you modify a row in a table in the db, events could be instantly propagated to the UI. Haven't thought it through fully yet.

SQL is also a bit cumbersome for things like deeply nested data, hierarchies, trees, graphs which a lot of client-side application state ends up being.

Sessions looks cool!
This book helped me think rationally about the problem space: How To Get A Date Worth Keeping by Henry Cloud.

He has a systematic approach that is very much like a sales funnel. The idea is to maximize the number of people you date once, and thus increase your probability of finding someone who will be mutually compatible with you.
> They don’t know what it is, where it came from, they just manifested it.

I don't think this rationale is going to restore The Cosby Show's syndication glory.
See also, the work of Robert Trivers [0] on the evolutionary utility of strategic self-deception. Sometimes we deceive ourselves so we may more effectively deceive others (or more charitably, perhaps to signal in-group loyalty).

Ironically enough, I think this can even take the form of an irrational belief that humans are innately rational, when empirical observation tells us otherwise.

I read an article recently about Native American cuisine, and from what I gathered from that, Native Americans themselves are incredibly divided as to whether or not to include frybread in these kind of restaurants for that reason.
Any particular angle on how such a collapse might come about?

The biggest threats I see are the debt problems in the Chinese property sector explode causing their "commercial paper" market to set off a chain reaction causing global contagion due to China being nearly everyone's number one trading partner. Or the US has an internal conflict and that majorly affects things (which is what I'm considering in this question). The other is simply demographics spell the writing on the wall that populations will continue to shrink and shrink and I would imagine it potentially gets to a point where the amount of infrastructure we've built the modern world on top of wouldn't have sufficient human capital to keep it running below a certain critical threshold of population size, but that one is a bit longer off.
Perhaps because Docker has great stories for deployment. Many of the complexities of deployment are handled for you (writing a systemd unit, managing rollback, etc).
Self host, use services for syndication only. Make that Medium and Facebook post, but just make it a link to your website, maybe with a preview. You get self hosting without needing to bring your own audience, you get Medium etc’s promotion without needing to surrender your content.

I should disclaim that I haven’t personally proven this out, but it’s advice I’ve often seen and what I plan on doing myself.
We were planning on talking with the Internet Archive see if they could make a digital copy, and then donate it to a scifi museum. Also throw some Dune theme parties.
If $X was enough to live (even if meagerly), then why would a worker put up with a new wage that is $X less than previously?

The worker would only continue a "shitty" job, if they get a better deal than before. So it makes sense to conclude that wages would cost more to entice a worker if said worker was able to obtain a UBI.

Jobs that would be popular and enjoyable, would be sought after - and those wages would drop.
Thank you for your feedback. Should be fixed now :)
No, small pox vaccines were not sterilizing by any definition of the term. There is debate about measles. Otherwise there is only one vaccine in common use that offers durable sterilizing immunity (HPV), and the fact that it works so well is somewhat of a medical mystery.
I'm baffled at how little shareholders have held Kotick's feet to the fire (and how little he's responded). I guess everyone who cared about company politics sold out when the accusations started flying...
It's too bad _Mathematics for the Millions_ [1] isn't used as a text book. It covers the evolution of math throughout history, basically showing how mathematics was derived by the problems being solved.

Are you saying it was eliminated in 1800 or in the 1800s? Do you have sources you can cite that makes the case that US "free market" agriculture eliminated famine? Farming in the 1800s was not free of exploitative practices such as slavery/sharecropping, nor was life easy for farmers, many faced hardships or lost their farms entirely. Sure call it a "free market" if you will, but note the evils and failures that comes with that "freedom".

US farming/agriculture actually has a long history of relying on government relief, subsidies, tariffs and low-cost/free federal land use to remain profitable.
Oh you're exaggerating it.

Intel and Samsung both have foundry capabilities. TSMC is just number one as of now. In a decade or two it is almost guaranteed that the top dog in this industry will shift given how historically volatile the entire semiconductor industry is.
I've read it's multiple concerns:

In Europe, the power output seems to be ~2.5 time lower, there's a bigger frequency separation in Europe, the 5G towers are placed further away from approaches, and the antennas have to point downwards.
I was not at a FAANG but I did attempt the same thing as you. I left with a Masters for a variety of reasons but my thoughts are that it’s less the financial opportunity cost that’s the problem. It’s the mental health toll that will really get you.

A PhD is for you if you really enjoy academic style work. If you thrived in high school/college, are innately mathematical, and care a lot about pushing the boundaries of knowledge.

You need to be ok with _not_ focusing on building things but instead focusing purely on understanding things. For me that last part was almost impossible.

You need to be ok with rejection and failure. You’ll try a lot of things and fail and get nothing for the effort. You’ll also have to constantly keep dealing with getting rejected for things like fellowships, journal papers, grants, conferences, awards and such.

You also need to be someone who is OK without a traditional social life and be ok to put in insane hours. Plan on 70-100 hour weeks up until you get tenure. Having a relationship with someone who is not in the system is going to be tough. You absolutely will lose touch with some friends and some family faster than the regular process.

There will be no system to help you. It wasn’t my case but I will warn you that there are many awful advisors. Unlike in the industry there are zero checks and balances and basically no incentives for advisors to keep their students mental health in mind. Your graduate advisor may care but probably won’t. And once you’re about 3-4 years in you can’t get out and I know tons of folks who were basically stuck in sand and spinning their tires.

You will see people who are your peers moving up traditional career ladders. You will see people starting companies. You will see people doing cooler things.

On the other end of all this a lucky 1% or so of people I know who entered the system ended up in a tenured faculty position doing research.

If you do decide to go ahead my suggestion is to find a good advisor who has funding. That is almost impossible to do but that’s all that matters.
Question, when these people find a new job will the person hiring them know?

He needs to be fired. I want to play one of their games but I won't until bobby kotick is no longer the CEO. So never.
One big motivator I've seen for flerfers to hold their belief is a desire to feel significant. Many of these people appear to be frightened by the thought that humans are just a blip compared to the vastness of space and time. It ties in very closely to them wanting to believe that we are so significant to their deity that we were made in its image. These people will probably never be convinced that the Earth isn't flat.
I like this video on the topic: https://youtu.be/zwAD6dRSVyI
> Who could possibly have predicted that a non sterilizing vaccine would put selection pressure on a rapidly mutating coronavirus, right?

Are you referring to the Omicron variant? Current theories suggest that Omicron evolved inside a HIV patient. There is no reason to believe the patient was vaccinated.

Omicron evades the body’s antibodies generated from infection by the delta or alpha or wild type variants, so there’s no plausible case for vaccine “selective pressure” especially as it emerged from a region of the world with very low vaccination rates.
He mentions Monero.
Same could be said about 2.4GHz and 5GHz WiFi.
He's close friends with many on the board, so they back him at every turn. The shareholders can't do anything when the board doesn't care what they have to say.
You know... I have an idea. How about we use vosk and this tech to integrate with ffmpeg somehow so that peertube videos can get subtitles while being transcoded. Once we get English SRT, we could use libretranslate to translate that English SRT to multiple languages.

This could be similar to what YouTube does with it's automatic subtitles.

The AI in this computer agrees ;D
For those inside the US yes, but I'm considering about the impacts to those of us who live outside the US.

Edit: the media may opt to call it Civil War 2.0 as another option.
I don't know anything about the specifics of how things got to where they are,
just an outsider watching this regulatory mishap unfold. That being said ...

It's quite interesting to me that the FAA may end up grounding planes rather than carriers delaying a rollout of 5G. This seems to say a lot about society and government priorities in the US.

(personally I don't know enough to make an informed value judgement here, but as a technology worker I'm biased toward preferring more and better internet at the cost of harming other sectors)
Do they even bother to clarify what they mean by "technically precocious"? I've seen some references to the MIT hacker culture in the OP, but back in the day this was strictly about a tiny minority of people in the most technical parts of academia; by and large, children would not have had any exposure to computers for personal use until very late in the history of that culture, and the research questions about "constructivism" were precisely about how to make this kind of exposure educationally meaningful. I suppose that I'm seeing a lot of fuzzy, loosely-connected memes in the intro to the book but not much clear thinking and reasoning that would result in an intelligible argument.

The problem is that if you assume "being able to use a device" is what qualifies you as precocious then the argument becomes moot. But I'm not sure what else the authors could mean.
My instinctual advice is don't do it - the grass is always greener. Most PHDs are never read or cited by anyone and your hard work will collect dust.

My more thoughtful advice is from something Bryan Cranston said. Basically, he said trying to be an actor is ludicrous. You have a high chance of making no money and never getting a break. Because of that, you should only become an actor if, like him, you can't bear to do anything else.
I forgot about that book! It is indeed a good one, and second the recommendation to anyone who hasn't read it. Although if that's the one with the drum people, they're kind of weird and might be off-putting to some.
Very cool. Does it have an erotic voice? Asking for a friend.
Soba is made of buckwheat so its really an very different type of dish, but Ramen used to be just called "Chinese Soba", since wheat based noodles are very different from rice or buckwheat.

Ramen specifically uses wheat noodles. "Modern Japanese Ramen" took Chinese recipes that used wheat noddles and used them to great effect during the American occupation with extremely cheap wheat prices (compared to other choice). You can be damn sure without cheap American wheat, Ramen would have stayed as Chinese Soba

It's one of those things that make people uncomfortable because history is messy.
It's still confusing though, because I can't think of any cultures that don't understand Western Arabic Numerals and use them regularly alongside their local version. It might be a strict requirement from the government upon Microsoft though. I seem to remember the Canadian government leaning heavily on Microsoft for an Inuktitut translation of their products, even though only 30,000 speak it:

https://nunatsiaq.com/stories/article/microsoft_to_roll_out_...

It always frustrated me that there were Inuktitut and Welsh versions of Microsoft products, but no real (British) English versions of them. Network Neighborhood indeed!
Many of the frequencies they’ve allotted are just not feasible without the access point being in the same room as you. Long term I see it as less of a replacement for 4G lte and more of a replacement for WiFi.

The idea is that you’re going to pay one cell phone bill for all of your devices if you want to get them online. I don’t know anyone stupid enough to pay for a SIM card for their personal iPad currently, because you’d prefer to tether off your phone instead of paying $10 a month. But in the future you might see people drop their home internet and just go with SIM cards in everything.
> makes that money rain equally on all their remaining employees, I'd have no problem with it.

why would the remaining employees, who have no invested capital into the business (with which the automation is driven by), receive any of the gains from said automation?

The people who invested the capital into the automation reaps the profit. In this case, it's often the shareholders in the end.
3% seems rather high if I'm being honest. In my little social bubble I don't think I can name one person who uses a KaiOS phone, let alone 3 out of 100.

Most TTS and speech synthesis can be easy to install if you get rid of the GPU requirement. Both AMD and Nvidia have horrible workflows for installing their drivers and neural network/linear algebra kernels. Real time speech recognition/synthesis on generic consumer grade Intels/AMD cores is very, very difficult to do well which is why most providers are cloud based. (The alternative is targeting Mac only as they have standardized hardware everywhere)
I can definitely recommend the café in the Museum of the American Indian in DC. It's probably the best food on the National Mall (the only other real contender is the African-American Museum), and is a rare example of museum food actually being good enough to go to if you weren't already at the museum.
I presume his parents or anyone he raised his concerns with. From personal experience, international aid seems to attract a distinct subset of rather narcissistic and myopic people who do it for their egos rather than to help people. Despite their rude and harsh demeanour, we just have to put up with them because many of them end up climbing the leadership ranks and become even bigger psychopaths.
It’s the southern branch. Different constellations.
As a small time hardware maker who spends an inordinate amount of my limited resources trying to meet FCC rules, I find this infuriating.

Whenever I complain about how outdated and ineffective the FCC is, the literal pushback I get is "but what about airplanes and satellites". To which I say, touche', we should all do our part to make sure we have safe airports and open channels for satellites and astronomy.

Reading through a Link posted by @supernova87a (https://www.rtca.org/wp-content/uploads/2020/12/Slides-5G-In...) I have two take-aways:

1. The spectrum involved is valued in excess of $4.6bb

2. Most 5G deployments will create in excess of 100x (20dBm) the allowable interference for radar altimeters

From the report, page 18 (SC-239 study results):

HUGE AMOUNT OF SCENARIOS INVOLVED

Every base station configuration produces harmful interference both from 5G fundamental emissions in the 3.7–3.98 GHz band and 5G spurious emissions* in the
4.2–4.4 GHz band, across virtually all operational scenarios and relative geometries between the aircraft and base station.

5G user equipment (mobile phones) that may be operating onboard aircraft were also found to exceed the safe interference limits for Usage Categories 2 and 3.

I find it increasingly difficult not to be cynical about the role of the FCC with respect to public safety issues with a lapse like this.

If I shipped a product into the US that had a radar altimeter interference profile like this, I'd be fined and sued into the ground a hundred times over, and I'd accept that fine and outrage because I personally couldn't live with being responsible for any planes literally falling out of the sky because they thought the ground was in the wrong place on account of my product's interference.

But apparently, with enough lobbyists and money, it's an acceptable risk. It's hard for me to take the rest of the FCC's rules seriously, when they act as just another rent-collecting agency at the beck and call of lobbyists whose sole mandate is to create market barriers against small startups and imported goods, with little regard to actual safety, science, or modern technology...

You're not wrong. But China is also more powerful than ever before and is continuing becoming more and more powerful.

Historical data matters, but the changing landscape and relative levels of power between the united states and China also are a factor.

AFAIK, that transition wasn't complete until the current-minus-one gen (PS4/XBO/Wii U).

This was also roughly the point when consoles switched from "rebooting into" games (i.e. console SDKs being library exokernels that games pulled in; making each game, essentially, a unikernel — previously running on bare metal, later running under a hypervisor whose dom0 runs on a separate core) into finally having enough processing headroom that games could just now be regular user-mode applications running as processes under a pre-emptive OS scheduler.
The US heavily invests in public research. The NIH budget is larger than all US billionaire's philanthropic donations combined. Public funding has great ability to affect change and discover.

"Communists are scary" is a poor argument.
Sorry, I don't follow your point.

What do you mean by "Needed" vectors? Distances are generally scalars, no?
which, ironically, would be a pittance since most musicians are starving artists.
This is probably covered by the Outer Space Treaty, but in short, no. Satellites overfly many countries and if they needed permission from every country we'd have no satellites.

I'm not a Kessler expert. But the people who are say this shit is terrifying. Are you an expert?

Why would we be fine in a decade? - do you understand how reliant we are on being able to launch shit into space? Can you comprehend the political fallout of such an event, even in your optimistic scenario?

Who's regulating this - anyone? What accountability and oversight mechanisms are in place - maybe the FCC, who recently cited thousands of fake and stolen identities identical support to justify killing net neutrality?

A billionaire launching 12,000 satellites, which will necessitate 67,000 collision-adjustments a year is a "milestone in human achievement" because... ? Slightly cheaper phone and internet?

And this gives you "faith we can handle all the climate issues" - my jaw drops every time I read that. I think you are vastly overestimating billionaires power to fix anything, and wildly underestimating the scale of our "climate issues".

You speak as if you have confidence that you're right on this, but you give no indication that you understand the scope of these issues at all. Kessler and climate change aren't "things will work themselves out" kind of scenarios.
How many managers and executives were fired?

My fear is that individual perpetrators have been fired but not the leaders who buried complaints or their own inaction dissuaded victims from complaining.

Strangely despite having access to google I keep seeing this “two weeks” phrasing repeated. Please google news stories from March 2020 and find that the “15 days to flatten the curve” was a Trump Administration policy and scientists immediately pointed out that 15 days would not be enough and could not make the virus disappear[0]. The number was simply a political decision as it was hard for the US President to change from the February 2020 stance of claiming Covid was just a cold and a hoax by their political opponents to hurt the economy…

This is also the case of the Native American in the far north AKA Eskimos, where their diet consisted largely on Seafood protein. They would eat a lot of the Bissell route to get important trace nutrients that were necessary in their protein-rich diet.
