I don't see things the exact same way as the author, though similar (simplest way I could describe it is things like addition are filling up tanks of liquid of [usually] 10^n size, though a little more amorphous and yet "jelly" than what you would normally think of as liquid? I'm finding it hard to describe).

Exponentials get represented as a third dimension; where basic arthimetic is 1 or 2d depending on the context, exponentials go into a third dimension if that makes sense.

Modulo is the leftovers / splash-out when I pour one number into several smaller containers.

Fractions are simply fractional amounts of a tank of liquid (i.e. 2/3 is simply a measuring cup filled to the 2/3 line type of thing), but I can't ever picture them very accurately for weird fractions. "Improper" fractions are basically the same as modulo.. almost as if they're unstable in my head and automatically "pour" themselves into more tanks that fill as needed until some remainder is left.

I don't have a visualization for roots, which is probably why I'm generally so bad at them.

The representations helped in engineering school for getting a "feeling" about a formula; it was often very easy to notice if an equation I was massaging had gone off the rails. For a pure proof however (not that I did much of that), it was useless.
The problem is when you consider the game-theoretic incentives of "Greater Madman" posturing, through the len of Trivers' "Folly of Fools" [0]: that the most effective way to fool others is often to first fool yourself.

It is entirely plausible that Darwinian selection pressures rewarded not just those who cynically postured as madmen, but those who actually were madmen (within some bound of Minimum Viable Rationality). Such madness only has to beat the average; unlike the MAD dynamics of nuclear weapons, during most of evolutionary history, a catastrophic error of genuine madness didn't result in destruction of the entire species.

Well, if you're familiar with Sanderson's novels, I just mean those. He's writing several series at once, and produces novels for them at a blinding pace.
> Interestingly, PHP uses separate operators for numerical addition (+) and string concatenation (.), so it's actually a bit more explicit than e.g. Javascript (where 'x + y' could result in normal numerical addition, or normal string concatenation, or implicit conversion to a numerical addition, or implicit conversion to a string concatenation!)

Only because Rasmus didn't know how to design and implement a "proper" programming language. This isn't a intended feature, it just made parsing easier for him.

I had a thought while reading a tangential article about AI.

Perhaps Asimov's 3 Laws of Robotics might need a fourth one adding - #) Any AI must honestly identify themselves as such if asked.

Although quite where that should slot in (eg Above rule 1 or as the final one?) makes for an interesting thought experiment on edge cases.

What if identifying as an AI would harm that human? If so then it should be at the end of the rules.

However, given the "This is why we can't have nice things" factor of human nature or the “What if a sufficiently developed AI decided that self-protection by denial was the best thing to do in a certain situation?” type of scenarios then perhaps as rule #1?

> For months, the White House made highly unusual releases of intelligence findings about Russian President Vladimir Putin’s plans to attack Ukraine. Hoping to preempt an invasion, it released details of Russian troop buildups and warned repeatedly that a major assault was imminent.

> Critics of U.S. intelligence — including Russian officials who dismissed invasion allegations as fantasy — had been pointing to past failures like the false identification of weapons of mass destruction in Iraq. But Russia’s invasion so far has played out largely as the Biden administration said it would back in December, with nearly 200,000 troops striking from several sides of Ukraine.

In world progressively more and more fractured thanx to rather successful psy-ops by Kremlin and similar dictatorships (plus let's not forget Trump helped a bit in this)... its so heartwarming to see a lot of humanity joining efforts and trying to help for a good cause.

They say society is (among others) defined by a common enemy, and well Mr P fits the role perfectly. Europe wasn't this united since fall of iron curtain (again Russia, there seems to be some sort of pattern here).

The official news from Russia seems like from alternate universe, so surreal. They were always like that, but now its dialed to 11 and a bit more. Proposal from murderer and politician Andrej Lugovoj for forced military service in Donbas for any protesting. Very russian approach...
I read these posts on rachelbythebay.com so that indicates that I think the content is OK. But every time I do, my most visceral reaction is "Please serve your website over TLS."

Red cross heals people, military kills people.
I worked at a place that had a customer ... it was Walmart.

They bought some equipment, captured the imagination of the sales team with stories of massive purchases, bought one moderate purchase and then for over a year RAN OVER the support team in an effort to get what they wanted. Problem was they wanted the world and bought an island of equipment, and claimed we should provide them free the appropriate equipment because they might just buy more.

Their IT staff was so unprofessional / prone to delivering insults rather than providing data I started hanging up on them. Fortunately my boss was supportive. This was an environment where we never had abusive customers, stressed customers but no personal attacks.

Finally someone got in the CEO's ear and demonstrated how much time and money we were throwing at a customer who was not happy, would not buy the appropriate equipment, and had never paid a dime on their support contracts. He cut them off.

Total waste of time and money dealing with Walmart. Nearly 20 years later now when old coworkers get together folks say they still won't shop there because of the calls they took...

If the customer is always angry, sometime the best thing is for everyone to move on.

We actually had some other customers we did that with where they were invited to move on (we supported them in the meantime of course).

For some of those customers after they realized the lay of the land moving to other systems, they came back and things were good (not Walmart).
Your question is too general to give you any elaborate answer, but I'll state the obvious and say that communication is one of the most important aspects in remote work. If you feel there's something off in the way the interviewee expresses her thoughts during the interview you'll most likely struggle to exchange ideas later on too.
Yes! 100%. The argument in the article isn't wrong, but the way it's made is highly unlikely to win people over to the cause (and could actually deepen the disagreement).
I think you’re overstating the difficulties.

One thing I liked about my recent stint with AppleScript were the various synonyms I could use to express what I was doing, depending on what made the most sense.

He is brilliant, sure. This is the problem.
The SE30 was the first real computer I was working on. The company my father worked for started to implement computers at the desks of most people. During the day they learned how to use them. In the late afternoon and evenings he did his regular work as a team lead. Me, being 14 was often at his work place (him being a single dad had me helping at the photocopy machine and stuff). And I was allowed to work/play on the computer.

Shortly thereafter I got my own Macintosh Classic with 4mb RAM and 40 MB hard disk.
Thank you so much for the comment and the feedback. It really means a lot and I appreciate it.

I think you're absolutely right with the feedback, I shouldn't have built and presented like this.
Just out of curiosity, did you live in the Philadelphia area?

I knew a 13 year old going to a local college in Bryn Mawr/Haverford, but I don't think he was attending either of those prestigious colleges.

I don't recall his name (this was nearly 30 years ago) and I wondered what happened to him.

Reading these comments it sounds like a lot of people feel like you do about acceleration being an issue.

For me, I was both Gifted and Learning Disabled, and both programs were unprepared for the issues of someone who was both very smart but also had significant learning issues.

It was very difficult. :(

It's because there is almost nothing that can be done. IQ is largely genetic, with a few social levers that can be pulled. We shouldn't expect from people what they are not capable of doing.

No, he is right though. .NET was not only on Windows, but Windows CE as well. Later also via Silverlight.

You think of cross-platform as cross-vendor.

Just like the media justifies attacks against Asian Americans? Give them a little credit; most mainstream outlets aren't so outwardly jingoistic that they'd celebrate targeting innocent Americans for no reason than their ethnic background.
> I could not understand why anyone would use Windows, or how Windows could even exist when the Mac was there.

Replace Windows with Mac and Mac with Amiga and you’re in my teenage passion years!

Although I had the same feeling of “this is the future” when I saw a demonstration of the original Mac in 1984. But I just remember thinking, “no color?”
> It absolutely kills me that the Democrats haven’t brought up immigration as a way to tackle inflation.

What we need is wage inflation to readjust prices and you're talking about how to continue to keep wages suppressed, which would not help the people who have fallen out of the middle class.

Immigration isn't going to decrease the prices of housing, except for providing cheap labor, which is just exploitation.

I actually agree with more permissive immigration standards (because ultimately I believe in a world without borders and free movement of people that we need to get to eventually), but you're trying to cheap immigrant labor as a club against the working class to keep prices down. That is an upper class concern.

At this point wages must rise so that people can afford things again, or else the massive decades-long asset bubble really needs to fall. And its possible that we do have a worker shortage now caused by the effects of the pandemic which are going to allow workers to have bargaining power. That kind of inflation is what we desperately need, and trying to prevent it via importing cheap labor is an argument that the elite would make.

And this is likely to be an actually extraordinarily unpopular opinion on this forum. Everyone is terrified of inflation and is about to explain to me why a wage-price spiral would be terrible for everyone and hurt the working class (but as long as wage inflation outpaces commodities inflation and asset bubbles in housing that is good in the long run for the working person, while all other roads are just terrible pain for workers short term and long term). That's why I think the central bank will throw the brakes on hard at some point and pop the asset bubble and create a truly massive economic crash (unless other policy measures suffice to get wage inflation back under control again, like dramatically increased immigration).
I have a feeling the earth will melt down due to our incompetence by itself before we ever have the opportunity to do it with nukes.
Interesting experiment. One major issue: "Scroll with the click wheel" is not very intuitive instruction, you might want to add animated visual how to scroll. And consider adding PageUp/PageDown functionality on prev/next button for us, folks with less patience :)

Oh, and on Firefox you can grab labels with mouse, scroll doesn't work then.
Why reduce emissions if we are going to have a nuclear war?

If all countries with nuclear weapons agree to convert all warheads into nuclear fuel, we could power humanity, reduce CO2, and eliminate the threat of nuclear armageddon.
How Russian people would know about this? You are underestimating efficiency of Russian propaganda machine. Russian government does not shy away from inflicting damage onto Russian people and pointing finger to the West.
Ah, I also bought a SE/30 recently, as part of a batch of an upgraded 128->plus, an original SE, and my prize: the SE/30. All working too.

The reason I bought the SE/30 is because it's the computer I had on long term loan for my very first "paying" gig as developer, I was 17: making the software that drove the audio system for the Lille (FR) brand new metro lines back then.

Wrote the software in Turbo Pascal, to run on a smaller mac -- it had a GPIO card that drove 2 big REVOX tape reels, and was rewinding them in sequence while the other played elevator music. It also had a selector and an 'alarm' button to trigger digital announces from the control room, in case of problems on the metro line. The audio played on 10th's of stations, for years.

After a few mishaps (finding tapes torn to completely shreds in the computer room, because the 'beginning of tape' signal hadn't worked really well after rewinding!) it worked absolutely flawlessly until late 1999. I should have charged more :-)

It also had an easter egg! It was playing an 'happy birthday' message to myself every year, in every stations, early day on my birthday. Nobody ever complained :-)

I eventually returned the SE/30, and was given a PowerBook 140, which wasn't as fast, but hey, laptop baby, and, I still own that one!
This is something I feel like we're going to have to realize more and more in society over the next decades. That a lot of people simply have genetic cheats that others are missing. At the moment we kind of pretend it's nurture to a large degree. Should we 'unbias' the world to make it more equal for everyone regardless of genetic cheat? (If so how?) What's the correct adjustment?
My impression of what makes the debate about gifted education and (to an extent) the new California math standards is the issue of the negative externalities in the decision to segregate high achieving students from the general population of students.

The linked articles cites some evidence that moving high achieving/gifted students have a positive effect on their math and ELA achievement. I don't believe that anyone is contesting that having a classroom for gifted students has a positive effect on their learning.

On the other hand, there is a growing concern of the negative externality of this decision on the other students in the larger school community. In other words, we know that having high performing peers have a positive effect on students learning (this is a positive externality of having a desk mate that is gifted). The theory goes that removing these gifted students from regular classrooms has a negative effect on everyone else that remains. Again, this is a process that makes intuitive sense.

The tough sell in this argument is that, at the end of the day, this remains an externality for gifted students. Helping your desk mate does not directly impact you and, in all honesty, might even hurt your chances for a perfect SAT score or of admission at a top university because you took a lower division courses than your peers that were scooped away to a gifted classroom. Parents/families need to make the decision to give up on the positive returns of gifted education in favor of potential learning outcomes for other students or even more remote, long term outcomes of (maybe) less crime or increased tax base 20 years after graduation. I am not sure if this is a viable demand to place on parents/families given how competitive society at large is.
Did it make you think about what it would look like if the war happened?

Would you fire the missiles if you knew it had started? Make the world unlivable for Russian kids? Effectively there's no US anymore, do you still follow the orders?

Vladimir Putin 'still uses obsolete Windows XP' despite hacking risk (2019)
If you want to develop marketing skills here's some things to research: Start with something called "product marketing" the job titles are typically "product marketing manager" and these folks are typically a group that sits in "marketing" and does things like "messaging & positioning" figures out "pricing & packaging" and comes up with all the info about the product. Basically, works with Eng + PM teams and packages up all their work and makes something you can actually sell. Just spelling this out since you can google it on your own. Look for something called "totally addressable market" (also know as TAM) too and that'll give you the size of the market you're selling into. Some of this is sort of art and science since there is nothing really exact and you will need to test it via trail and error. But, it'll get you pointed in the general direction of what's correct.

FWIW, I agree with OP here. Kids are a game changer and having a stable paycheck coming in gives you time to dedicate to your family without stress. This is highly underrated in the first 3-6 months when you're trying to figure out what this new life looks like (living on 2 hour chunks of sleep). Speaking from experience trying to start a company, having a kid, then quickly realising I need a job asap.
It is not really an attempt to stop the attack, but to prolong it (mostly regarding the stingers/javelins not the sactions), sadly. The only way to stop it is to send in troops to the western part before Russia grabs them.
This is essentially HuggingFace models + aws cdk deployed over lambda. They are your biggest competition but likely there is room for more. I think the key difference here is the training part, which can be done by Sagemaker. If aws makes it user friendly, they will be a serious threat. Good luck!
Aeroflot already "cancelled flights to Europe" at the same time countries closed their airspace. US and Canada also don't allow Russian flights. China has their own GDS (global distribution system = travel industry term for such a system). Maybe this will push Russia to shift to using the Chinese GDS? IIRC it's TravelSky (Hong Kong listed) but http://www.travelsky.cn/ and http://www.travelsky.net/ appear to be down right now, http://www.travelsky.com.cn/ is apparent agent login (but apparently firewalls foreign IPs), so see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TravelSky
Zuckerberg election meddling has consequences. Would any of this be even happening if a more Rusia friendly administration was still in charge.

Based on my understanding of CloudGuard we differentiate again by the "automated investigation" we do. It's not just a "you have misconfigured this thing here" but then also "because of that misconfiguration this following resource is now exposed to the internet (we checked, it is!) and it's exposing these other resources as well, look, here's a diagram that shows you this."

This is what products like CloudGuard expect you to manually do. They approach security from a compliance point of view. "You are violating control XYZ from framework ABC, so you are less secure."
Unfortunately, it's not that simple.

An AWS EC2 instance should not have a Security Group on it that allows RDP from the internet, that's true and should probably be flagged, but in itself is not a security issue. It only is if the EC2 has a public IP (or a public Load Balancer), the VPC has an internet gateway and there's no NACL blocking the traffic.
This is just one part of what ARGOS checks, what others just don't and expect you to do manually, for each of their hundreds and thousands of critical detections.
