I've met plenty of people who say "I only read non-fiction" always as if it's a virtue. A friend's father told her she made up lies about people who didn't exist. That was his opinion of her fiction. I think some people are really threatened by fiction, and it's unfathomable to me. Perhaps they're threatened because they've been told to like something that's not for them. It can be difficult to not like something when it's implied that not liking it is your own flaw. I feel these people live in a poorer world for closing that out of their lives.
QC can only solve two problems more efficiently than classical (and this is proven very thoroughly): unstructured search and discrete log problem (well, more accurately, certain hidden subgroup problems). DLP covers factoring, hence RSA. Elliptic curve crypto is directly a discrete log problem, as the crypto is based on the underlying group defined over rational curve points. NTRU is based on neither problem; it's based on a lattice problem in a certain class of rings. Lattice problems cannot be reduced to either class of problems for which quantum provides speedups.

As a side effect of quantum only being more efficient for a very limited set of problems, there are many crypto systems for which quantum provides no effective benefits.

This can all be made very precise. For those with some math background, almost two decades ago I wrote a decent technical summary of the DLP style aspect at https://arxiv.org/abs/quant-ph/0411037
I was convinced that I was looking at a legitimate error message from IIS until I read it.
Because the goal of the assignment isn't to write code, it's to learn what code to write. If you're copy and pasting from someone else you're potentially skipping out on a lot of learning. Granted, good luck passing the exam with copy and paste, but I've seen someone do basically that for 5 years, don't know if they ever graduated but they were grinding it out.

I thought when I studied in 1994 that HP's VUE was way better than Windows 3.x which was the going Windows at the time.

W95 Chicago kinda brought it on par in terms of GUI. Obviously not in terms of OS.

It was quite saddening when I started my first job in 2000. And got.. a Win 3.11 desktop. The company I worked for had it tuned so well they never moved to 95. If I logged into another office it would basically download the whole system image to that office XD. Very weird design choice.
Magnificent story! I was always vaguely aware of MUGEN but had no idea about the scene or that history.
Thanks. I'm a bit dubious about using the jargon - which people can easily misunderstand - isntead of saying, "mostly open source components, some priopriatary ones".
You think companies are being screwed and this concerns you?
Lies to “protect people” only serve to protect yourself from a challenging but useful conversation.

Nobody wants to be lied to. My wife doesn’t have to ask “do you really like it?” because she knows if I didn’t I would say so. She can rely on me giving her an honest opinion about anything. (Of course whether or not she cares about my opinion is beside the point)

Imagine you cooked for someone and they didn’t like the food, would you rather they lied to you and say they loved it? Or were honest?

I challenge you to give me an example where you’d prefer to be deliberately misled by someone.
I want one of these 3D photo apps but geared for object replication rather than art projects and videogames. Like let me scan an object then add measurements to it that let me more perfectly recreate it, such as identifying curves for me to input a measured radius, asking whether this section is supposed to be a straight edge or a flat plain or a perfect cylinder.
In general the presence of collective bargaining is going to limit the presence of the few best case employment scenarios, but with the advantage of preventing a lot of the really bad cases. It is a collectivist action after all.

Sure you didn’t get some advantage you could have gotten from a kind professor. But it protected many more people from abuse and low pay
The US is closed shop. If a subset of employees don't like their union, they are not allowed to form their own union.

Put another way, if employees disagree with something the union does, they have no recourse other than founding their own union and trying to get all their coworkers to vote to force every one to switch to the new union.

In particular, employees are not able to call strikes in the US. In some sense, unions solved the "problem" of employee walk outs by redirecting grievances away from employers and to large unions that are (in practice) unresponsive to employee requests.

When they do get things done, it's unclear what constituency they are serving, or who made the decision.

For example, the California statewide teachers union managed to block vaccine mandates for teachers. All the teachers I've talked to in Silicon Valley are vaccinated and support mandates.

Those teachers have no hope of joining a union that's not controlled by anti-vaxxers.
Super cool and insane ambition, but I don't get the part about the Dyson sphere. I don't see that as a guaranteed requirement to accomplish the goals set out, and it's going to be insanely controversial. That part seems like a solution looking for a problem, to be built mostly because it's 'cool'.

But I don't want to rain on the parade of long-term, crazy-ambition in space, so I think this is pretty awesome overall. But planning unilaterally to build a dyson sphere will definitely make you a lot of enemies on Earth.

Otherwise, godspeed.
I'm confused, is this a union of workers in the MIT campus or really MIT students?

If it's really the latter, do studying count as work now?
This seems to be some kind of planning tool that uses Python and a database to do something logistics related.
For sure. My favorite way of getting unstuck is to take the dogs on a very long walk.

The looped matrix multiply that you show is very hard to optimize for in the general case of einsum. Often the looped GEMM is found permuted such as `kbi,kjb->bij`. In this case, heuristics are needed to determine if GEMM is worth it due to unaligned memory copies.

`optimize=True` is generally best when there are more than two tensors in the expression.
Yup, and this is frequently a total disaster. Like, hundreds of thousands of dollars get lost either in spreadsheet errors or by paying the salaries of people who manage spreadsheets when their jobs could probably be replaced by a much better solution.

But, whatever - more work for everyone! Certainly suits me. It's like wanting the average person to keep programming C because you're in infosec.
ive edited this comment to fit the current situation.
thanx scop !
I like your idea a lot, but I don't think it could replace the Ph.D. proper. You really do need all that time on one project to make a dent in the state of the art sometimes. One year I spent an entire summer generating data for a single figure in my dissertation. That's part of the reason why it took me 8 years to graduate.
I don’t understand why Google doesn’t make an effort to do this? Aren’t these SEO “content” people a competitor, of sorts?
I think the dataset and the context very important. I don't think google will give a bad score if the content is generated by AI and it is helpful for the people.
Thank you!

For scripting, it is significantly better than bash (at least for most of the cases that I have).

The interactive part is not implemented yet but it is planned to be quite different from the dominant decades old approach. The plan is at https://github.com/ngs-lang/ngs/wiki/UI-Design
> If you wanted to do that, you could just set up port forwarding on your router and have people connect directly.

But that would expose their IP address. It’s easier to just use your bore.pub server and hide their IP address. If you don’t want to add authentication to the bore.pub server, I hope you have really good logging.
Telling people interested in replacing car trips that is not going to win them over.
When I was living in Tokyo, it was theoretically possible to get from where I lived to the center of the most popular downtown hangout spot in 20 minutes by train. In reality, though, you had to tack on between 5 and 30 minutes of random delays depending on the train schedules and what time it was.

If you're sitting in your living room, and decide "I want to go to $place, it's a 45 minute trip if I leave now and a 20 minute trip if I leave in an hour" I think you could make an argument either way.

Within downtown Tokyo, you can often beat the train by just walking briskly from point to point, and almost always beat it by riding a bike.

Maybe the guy above you is focusing entirely on those worst case walking/schedule-based delays and you're focusing entirely on the best case.

How often do you build GNOME-Control-Center with all of its dependencies? Sure, if you are using Gentoo/LFS, that is absolutely expected, but then you can afford to do one (maybe minor) patch to do it yourself.

> The fact that you accept that is exactly what I talked about in this other article

Yes, maybe one or two things like the increased memory usage are legit regressions, but GNOME is doing far less breakage/inconsistencies in a major version update than some multi-billion dollar company like Samsung or Microsoft.

> Better believe they do all this on purpose, trying to discourage anyone from changing their masterpiece. (In the article)

This is really the wrong conclusions, if extensions depend on some internals then you can expect them to break. That is like depending on some undocumented kernel feature of Windows 7 and then complaining that it is not there anymore.
At one time my girlfriend's house had this really cozy kitchen, table and stools all around. Everyone would always end up there, and there would always be something to eat or drink. The table doubled as counter to to prepare food on, and for eating, with a big bread slicer on one side (electric, with no guard on the spinning blade). We'd spend hours there chatting, drinking, eating having fun. Just opposite was a tiny room with a fireplace, tiny sofa and a tv, which you might watch if you were just cooking. It absolutely was the heart and soul of the house.
Seems you're assuming bad intentions, also after the other person, 0des, gave an explanation.

To me, it wasn't an obvious comparison. There're lots of icons and symbols on people's avatars, in online forums and GitHub etc already, not that special? Eg admin or moderator icons.

(I think a saboteur icon is a bad idea but for other reasons)

Sadly, from a lot of experience in tech, one man projects that have "build self-aware AI" as a step in their roadmap have a tendency to underdeliver.
Yes, more visibility into which packages are published/controlled by malware authors helps with vetting (immediate pass instead of reading thousands of lines of code). Yet some people are terrified by that prospect. Really makes you wonder.
Normally I go for "never ascribe to malice what you can explain with incompetence". In the case of a careers page though, I'd take it as a signal that it's there as a courtesy to make people feel good, and they don't really recruite that way. I could be completely wrong though - I'd be curious what percentage of hires come though the website.

Re Amazon, they are much more likely across their business to depend on unsolicited online applications for staffing, so I'm not surprised they are easier.
I live in Indianapolis and we added bike lanes and more parking at the same time. The real driver in retail sales has been the increase in residential units downtown. Mass transit in Indy was and still is terrible ... It takes 1.5 hours to go 6 miles.
I have heard these horror stories so many times but never witnessed them in reality. From my point of view, excel is a great way to ensure knowledge is not hidden, as you have a file format that embeds calculations, data and outputs. It can be ugly, but nothing that a seasoned excel warrior cannot parse and there’s plenty of them around. Now if someone as an employer does not even have copies of the files, they have bigger problems than Excel itself.

The other horror stories of errors in spreadsheets, them yes I have witnessed them regularly.
First enhance on-earth supply chain efficiency. Then worry about space. Purchasing and sales departments really should be eviscerated and replaced with semi-autonomous systems in most cases. Get that done and you'll have more than enough money and cred to tackle space. My ideas @ https://raw.githubusercontent.com/globalcitizen/ifex-protoco...
Cool idea. Devs need something like this for sure.
The "Too Much Crypto" paper is pretty reasoned.

See section 5.2, and 5.2.3 - "Should we care?"
No, `dirname` is correct. The goal of `ln -s dirname/ linkname` is that even if you accidentally do `cp file linkname` (note without slash) when dirname is gone, it will error out. Without the trailing slash in the ln command, a file (instead of directory) named dirname will be created.
+1. I think they are just trying to mirror the tech oligarchy we see elsewhere. A handful of rings to rule them all and in the darkness bind them.
A tad ambitious, missing a few intermediary steps. Try solving logistics problems for say… a sandwich shop… before going on about “all of e-commerce” much less a Dyson sphere.

It’s not really obvious that this is at all necessary or the bottleneck. Or that running a planned economy ruled by AI is a goal to celebrate.
That does not sound right. Are you talking about RSA?
At about the halfway mark the office starts a call. Are radios no longer used?
Try using Chrome. I had numerous issues with it in Firefox that don’t appear in Chrome.
It's also difficult to nail landlords on, so it goes largely unenforced (at least in Seattle). Most renters aren't going to be able to afford to take a landlord to court over an apartment they didn't get, they're just going to keep hunting because they're usually on a strict timeframe to move.
Yep. I found reading the Wikipedia page was sufficient. Reading pretentious long article on this is pointless.
Definitely true here in SE Asia and other parts of the developing world. In the Philippines for instance, you go to a supermarket and there are rows and rows of formula boxes and all you need to do is look at the packaging and advertising to see the message they're trying to convey: formula is for good-looking, light-skinned, smart, educated parents and only ignorant dark-skinned provincial poor people breastfeed because they can't afford formula. That's the thinking. There's almost no consideration that breast milk is more healthy for the baby.
I think it's possible to train the bot to write oneliners, but onliners are usually downvoted here.

Replies to comments are difficult, so I guess the bot must just write somewhat related top level comments.

It will accumulate a lot of "Did you RTFA?" and also polite request for clarifications, and it will be suspicious that the bot never replies or replies with nonsense.

If every commit has a link to http://www.example.com then people will notice and start flagging.

I guess it can fly under the radar posting a few top level bland comments per week in the megathreads with a few hundred comments, but I don't imagine how this can be used to gain anything.

These are not mutually exclusive. Moving heavy industry to automated facilities in orbit is not unrealistic in the coming decades. It does require massive investment in space tech.
Instructions unclear. I’ve converted the entire Solar System to paper clips instead.
I agree about debugging being tedious and time consuming.

What is a yed drawing ?

I’d like to know if there is a process to creating a description of a problem that is more amenable to some mechanical analysis.
I totally disagree. When you visit a website, you're imposing a cost on the website owner because they have to pay for bandwidth and servers to process your request. In my view, crypto has always been about incentive alignment. Filecoin doesn't really work, but their idea was that when requesting a file a small fee to you pay the person who serves it to you. Overall this makes more sense to me than having some guy pay to host the file himself and hope that he decides to keep doing that until the end of time.
So your coworkers, presumably health care professionals, refused to accept the most basic public health measure, and expected to keep working, presumably in proximity to vulnerable populations? I hardly think their employer is the unreasonable party here. (E.g. I also wouldn't hire a lawyer who advocated trial by combat or a chemist who advocated alchemy...)
I'd love an IDE with a terminal UI just like VS Code.

It would be so nice to run remotely, and on a light Dev system.

> Her hourly rate is closer to $400/hr. The Berkeley guy said it was $5k/hr because he just took the total pay and divided by hours spent on one thing. But she spent hours on some other things too that he didn't included in the denominator.

Her official hourly rate is 5,000 USD an hour. She claims she does ~10 hours of preparation for that single hour so she's really only charging ~400 USD an hour. You can believe her or not, up to you. The claim that she's charging 5,000 USD an hour is not incorrect and is there in her contract.

> He originally tweeted her address and other harassing things, which is against Twitter's rules. That tweet was reported and taken down.

He did not tweet out her address. The person he retweeted had a separate tweet where they shared her address, and that was deleted by that person.

The rest of your bullet points are based off of her clarification letter. The email Nelson shared very much includes a threat of police and lawyers.
What are some supply chain inefficiencies you've identified?
Houston doesn’t call what they have “zoning”, they just have a bunch of other laws on the books that have basically the same effect. It’s certainly not an urbanist’s paradise.
I am curious to see if there is neutral third party that can document all the accusations and print out the results.
I have zero trust in Russia and Putin gangsters but so far Ukraine has far exceeded to crying out wolf.

Two unresolved cases that I am looking for neutral information:
The maternity hospital bombing: The woman being photographed said in an video interview that the ukraine army had pushed everyone out and occupied the building.

The railway station bombing: Russia initially said they bombed the ukranian army at the station and quickly deleted the the tweet. The missile that's shown at the location is however a tochka 2 missile and even the serial number is supposed to be Ukranian. who is right and is there an independent inquiry into it?
Pretty sure Russia fucked up here but do we have conclusive answer on who the missile belongs to? especially since Russia neither uses tochka 2 nor has any army within the range of the tochka 2 missile.

Also is Biden hyper because of his son's investments all over Ukraine? It was proven to be true and he does have millions in investments. wouldn't the be conflict of interest and why Biden is hell bent on saving Ukraine?
/dev/null may be unavailable, for example in lightweight chroot/containers without /dev. It requires extra effort and administration from our devops team. Furthermore, it's a hard-coded path and this is a well-known code smell. It's better to outsource it to a dedicated team with /dev/null expertise rather than re-inventing the wheel in-house.
I didn't say "profitable". I said "cheaper than a windmill". That's the standard in this industry. And windmills are really, really cheap. Pick the low hanging fruit, then get fancy. Exotic energy technologies are at best an exercise in premature optimization, and more likely an attempt at soaking the woke masses to fund someone's startup.

A smart bulb by itself is not particularly likely to cause any kind of harm.

IoT in general can have some risks and these have been proven, especially if your devices are linked to services outside of your device provider such as "If This Then That" (or IFTT) [1]. I am a little fuzzy on the details, but I believe some smart home appliances such as TVs expose APIs that aren't particularly secure either...

Additionally, some devices do not secure the data they transmit to whatever nearby base station [2].

Overall it is fine to buy in to IoT, just be aware of what you are buying and things that can go wrong (i.e. how can people exploit this device?). If you get actuators that adjust windows or vents based on temperature, make sure they are secure physically and can't be gamed by intruders.

I should add that although your smart bulb may not have a microphone, people can determine other things about you from data analysis or machine learning.

These are pretty old, so if I had to guess, probably ease of manufacturing? It’s a lot easier to get square grids than hexagonal using simple machinery. Just a guess though.
Maybe, but what it will do first is replace our usage of other more expensive forms of energy (fossil fuels, presumably)
If captchas are any indicator, AIs will soon be better at convincing Google their content is human generated than humans are.

Note that, to win, the machines just need to produce approved content at a faster rate than the humans. If some AI can spew text at a measly 1GB/s, and Google blocks 99% of it, 10MB/s will still getting through. In 2016, there were ~4.6B pages on the internet. If each page contains 10KB of text, then the AI in my example produces 1000 pages per second. There are 31 million seconds per year, which means it would churn out 31B pages per year, or the entire 2016 internet every few months.

My conclusion? Internet search is screwed. Maybe people will start paying for curation.
I am translating german content to swedish and back again. Google never noticed. My backtranslated content even corrects all typos and gramatical errors. It ranks better then the original content and I see no way they could ever detect.
This is just exaggeration. Russia is dead. There is nothing left of that country and Putin has managed to destroy an economic and scientific super power in weeks.
