I would say that talking about a thermostat's goals is an even stronger example of anthropomorphism. Broadly goal-like behavior, sure, so I hesitate to flatly say they don't have goals. But if someone told me that we have to be careful about engineering better thermostats, because a sufficiently high quality thermostat wants to keep its current set temperature and won't let you change it, I don't think that'd make a ton of sense.

I don't want to sound unfair here, because I do agree that proper alignment of ML models is an important challenge. I can easily imagine an ML engagement algorithm that starts to get everyone hooked on pornography, or an ML drug discovery program where half the drugs have permanent side effects that only manifest after 10 years, and I don't think there's any guarantee that these problems will be obvious to find or easy to fix. What I don't follow is the scenario where the drug discovery program "wants" to show you bad drugs but shows you good ones instead because it thinks you'll eventually put it in charge of the FDA.
A little ironic as until relatively recently American Midwestern political culture was the most strongly civic and, arguably, communitarian, in the United States. But coastal liberal culture has come to dominate the political left, southern conservative culture the political right, and the factionalization of the Midwest along those political contours has been well underway for at least a couple of decades, now. :(
If generators or embedded devices that don't have threads are indeed the reason for picking one design over the other, the question then becomes why did some languages prioritise those domains over more common ones, even for them?

You mean they can pay up to $4000 a year in medical transport costs? Warehouses are often remote, and specialists are often even further than regional hospitals. Flights, etc add up if you have a medical condition that requires multiple specialist visits.

Shame on the BBC for intentionally sensationalizing this by deliberately pulling out abortion, when all that's happened is Amazon hasn't decided that it gets to choose what medical care its employees get.

An equivalent title, which will hopefully illustrate why your reaction is not reasonable, and is more a deliberately induced by BBC's choice of headline:

"Amazon will pay US staff travel expenses for cancer and other treatments"

"Amazon will pay US staff travel expenses for heart surgery and other treatments"

"Amazon will pay US staff travel expenses for organ donation and other treatments"

The issue isn't how much computing power (aka carbon) does the network NEED. The issue is how much computing power the network consumes.

Depending on the implementation of PoS, there could be all kinds of incentives or pressures for a lot of distributed computing power to get thrown at it, despite it only needing a fraction of that.

None of that is a problem if the system is #1 displacing other higher consuming systems and #2 not actively harming people.

Re: #1 So far most of what I've seen out of blockchain seems additive - it's not replacing old systems, it's layering on new systems. But it's still early days, maybe that'll change.

As for #2, well, it's hard to trace the exact benefits and harms of blockchain we've seen so far. Which leaves me to fall back on history. You can call me a commie if you want to, but a system that benefits capital over labour usually shakes out to benefit a few while harming many ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

First impression harsh feedback: It takes too many seconds between opening your landing page and understanding what your product is. The first thing I should see is your product doing something I want. By the time I scrolled to the cute icons with aspirational text, I did not understand what it is. To actually see what any of the product looks like, I have to click a video and watch about 15 seconds of contentless title screens.
This is an interesting benchmark I'll try to code up. Although, it seems a bit like an apples/oranges comparison, since a Dataframe in memory had to come from somewhere, either a CSV or database like Postgres, in which case I have my money on Postgres outcompeting the standalone process parsing CSV.

In the end though, it'll be important to have benchmarks for all the key steps in the process, both in terms of memory and compute. Off a hunch, I think the memory inefficiency involved in high level pandas operations is more likely to be a driving force to move operations into lower layers, than CPU runtime.
LEX Markets | Backend Engineer - Node, Product Manager | New York, NY | Onsite or Remote | https://lex-markets.com

LEX is a new way to invest in real estate. LEX turns individual buildings into public stocks. Any US investor can open a LEX account, browse opportunities in various asset classes such as multifamily and office buildings, and buy shares of individual buildings. As a shareholder, investors earn income when owners pay dividends and can trade their shares on our public market without lockups or hold periods. Each building on LEX has a ticker symbol and stock chart.

We’ve built:

- A retail brokerage app to trade shares of real estate

- A dealflow operation to take buildings public

- An SEC-filed ATS on which those shares can trade

We're a small company (~ 30 people, 10 engineers) with some great backers working to unlock real estate for the masses.

Cool, if they were alive. But also entirely moot: Abortion is a woman's right, guaranteed by the constitution, so your opinion isn't relevant.

Also not relevant to what I said: This is paying for travel for all medical procedures, obsessing over one that you don't like - solution: don't have one - is kind of pointless.

You and I can, sure, since I assume we're both having this conversation from our smartphones or computers and don't have to hunt for our food.

But again, that was not the point, nor was it the foundation of the question I asked.

As for marketing, I am not trying to sell you anything - I am telling you what I have done, and what I am doing, for controls systems on processing plants being put into service, today.

Most recently a $2B+ processing plant that will supply a significant portion, maybe 20%, of the global requirements for a very high demand mineral product.

I see there is comfort, certainty and perceived low risk rolling out the established and straightforward controls solutions that (old and aging) management are prepared to sign off on. But the benefits available from some of the contemporary technologies are rapidly becoming overwhelming in the risk vs reward balance. It's rapidly becoming of the nature where you innovate or be left behind, in the industrial controls sector. This is especially the case as a huge portion of the worlds control systems are past due for rejuvenation, roll out the same old, same old now and you heavily buy into being stuck with that architecture another 30 years, if the business can remain competitive for that long.
First of all, that site (sheshbabu.com) is a great resource, and I have used it a lot.

For my app (triviamaze.com), I ended up trying yew (which is referenced here) and then decided on seed (which is another rust WASM frontend framework which I preferred because it felt like the JSX syntax of yew did not play well with code completion, etc and felt weird to me inside Rust code).

However, for the followup web app (triviarex.com) I ended up using React for the frontend.

The big reason I did this was because React has a lot of tooling and compatibility. If I wanted a different CSS framework or to include one of the many available React components, it was easy. React also supports hot reloading, inbrowser debugging, etc.

What I did do, was use web sockets and Actix actors to manage all the state server side. Basically, all the React frontend code did was send messages to the server, and render the state the server sent back.

This to me felt like playing to the strengths of both languages. On the front-end, I got the flexibility and compatibility of Javascript. On the back end, I got to use all the Rust goodies such as pattern matching and strong typing for managing the state.
I have long wanted to see a competitor in this space, however I always assumed Strava’s patent [0] on segments was the reason why one could never exist.

Yeah... that's like saying a car has a security risk because someone can go in the wheel well and slash the brake lines...
That’s ridiculous. The brakes work fine without power you just have to push a little harder.

Not to drop old man wisdom here but back in the day power brakes were an option that you could pay for.
I kept looking for a spoiler saying that these glib, seemingly-profound sentences were generated by GPT-3.

Don't work for someone you wouldn't want to become? How on earth is someone supposed to determine that during a standard interview process? What are you supposed to do when teams get shuffled around, or your boss leaves? To say nothing of the fact that you can admire someone without wanting to become them.

"A key challenge for AI is to build embodied systems that operate in dynamically changing environments. Such systems must adapt to changing task contexts and learn continuously. Although standard deep learning systems achieve state of the art results on static benchmarks, they often struggle in dynamic scenarios. In these settings, error signals from multiple contexts can interfere with one another, ultimately leading to a phenomenon known as catastrophic forgetting."

"In this article we investigate biologically inspired architectures as solutions to these problems. Specifically, we show that the biophysical properties of dendrites and local inhibitory systems enable networks to dynamically restrict and route information in a context-specific manner."

"Our key contributions are as follows: first, we propose a novel artificial neural network architecture that incorporates active dendrites and sparse representations into the standard deep learning framework. Next, we study the performance of this architecture on two separate benchmarks requiring task-based adaptation: Meta-World, a multi-task reinforcement learning environment where a robotic agent must learn to solve a variety of manipulation tasks simultaneously; and a continual learning benchmark in which the model's prediction task changes throughout training."

"Analysis on both benchmarks demonstrates the emergence of overlapping but distinct and sparse subnetworks, allowing the system to fluidly learn multiple tasks with minimal forgetting."

"Our neural implementation marks the first time a single architecture has achieved competitive results in both multi-task and continual learning settings."

"Our research sheds light on how biological properties of neurons can inform deep learning systems to address dynamic scenarios that are typically impossible for traditional ANNs to solve."
create and sell some NFTs collections. the market is telling you what to do. I'm not even joking, people don't have the erudition to realize it but it's true.

in the past year you could have

- launched an "Ohm-fork DAO" for this specific purpose and accumulated a treasury of $700mm just because they were in vogue for a few months

- launched a premium NFT collection of randomly generated profile pictures, just because that was in vogue for a few months

- done a "land sale" like this article is about, just because thats in vogue now

what did you do over the last year? chase a bunch of "promising leads" for weekly meetings that never amount to anything? this particular world is moving fast, its up to you.

I think one-off examples of accidents are pretty unhelpful for discussions. Bamboo straws are also available alternatives and both those and disposable plastic straws can also cause fatal accidents - bubble tea straws in particular can easily break skin. There are also silicon straws available which might be the best option safety wise - even superior to plastic.

Metal straws don't noticeably increase the danger of drinking - but drinking while running or moving quickly is an action that can always increase the risk of accident - fatal or not.

Is the proposed SFC copyright assignment intended to be temporary, e.g. could it be returned to the creator after a legal case is won? Why is it not sufficient for SFC to represent the copyright owner? Would joint/minority ownership be an option?

Leaving aside legal concerns, could code maintainers possibly lose the ability to steward their OSS community and set governance policy, after they surrender copyright?
It's a mixed picture, but to me the fact that irangov.ir still resolves in spite of an all-out siege by OFAC tells me that it's decentralized enough for almost anyone.
>> it's amazing how small a volume of trash we throw out now that we're putting foodstuffs into compost.

Toronto introduced its green bin program in 2002, where organic waste (food scraps, mostly) is collected separately and composted. The resulting compost is made available to residents for free.

It massively reduced the amount of garbage going to landfill AND enriches the local soil.
"Something untoward" is a bit vague. You have to specify who's being threatened at the very least.

* For project maintainers: The SF Conservancy can't prevent developers from working on their own project, because it is GPL-licensed and copyright holders can't retract GPL licensing once it's been given.

* For end-users: The GPL is a copyright license, not a EULA. So it only affects developers.

* For businesses that distribute software with changes: The risk of being sued by a copyright troll that buys the rights isn't an existential risk, because they can always keep using and fork an old GPL'd version.

Thanks for the link! I think I'm also interested in learning the logistics and legal aspect as well. I feel there are tons of resources out there on how to grow things, but not a lot on how to find land, what you need to look out for, etc. I've seen quite a lot of YouTube videos on this topic and I feel like I'm still missing quite a lot of info.
I don't think one is morally superior to the other, but there are trade-offs.

With bash, cron, rsync, and a vps, one is using stable, long-lived tools that usually come with Linux, are vetted and patched automatically, and are familiar in the sense that those same tools can be used for all sorts of tasks, not just frontend development. There is also the argument that the only remote piece controlled by the service provider is a vps which still gives you lots of control and flexibility with minimal lock-in.

I prefer somewhere in the middle of the two extremes, but I see more appeal to the "old" approach than you allude to.
The link in that same paragraph has some more info. ( https://sfconservancy.org/copyleft-compliance/vizio.html )

It seems to me like it's a rhetorical framing of GPL rights to place them within the "right to repair" movement. (Think Richard Stallman wanting to fix issues with the printer at MIT, but unable to because the driver was closed-source proprietary code)

That is a very confusing comment to me.

I'm punishing women who are rejecting me?

I honestly don't even know how to parse or think about that.

Are they entitled to date me, even though they've communicated a clear preference not to, and I'm somehow punishing them by not convincing them that, no I'm a really great guy, really...?

Or is it that I'm such a valuable gem that these helpless women who, through no fault of their own are deeply attracted to tall, dark and handsome, must be rescued from that to date me, short, old and bald - because ... ?

Honestly, I really don't get it.

Everything isn't a societal problem. Some people value certain physical characteristics. Those people tend to be a terrible match for me.

I'm happier with people who value my humor, personality and the way I treat them.

It's not any more complicated than that.
Having power steering allows one to have more aggressive caster angle and KPI which improves suspension performance too.
> It still blows my mind people think it is acceptable that the network eat their transaction fee if the transaction doesn't go through, especially when these fees are so high (as if now it can cost $2k to do any sort of NFT stuff).

I agree that this is ludicrous, but I don’t think that people so much accept it as that they tolerate it. Since, for most people (albeit not all), the only utility of cryptocurrencies today is to get rich, it doesn’t really make any sense to abandon a network that sucks from a UX point of view in favor of a much better network, if you believe that the alternative network will net you much less money.
Since when is 2K used to mean 1440p? 1440p 16:9 gives a horizontal resolution of 2560px. That's more than what is considered 2K, which is generally either 1920px or 2048px.
ha, I meant as a distributed low trust computing environment.

GPS isn't required to schedule handovers in a mobile network.

Handovers can be signalled by the network or the handset, but they use the received signal quality and strength (and handsets can send their signal quality and strength to the network to facilitate better handover scheduling) to arrange handovers.

You can also triangulate devices effectively using just the cellular signal to them, if you are the mobile network operator, using signal strength, or other techniques like time difference of arrival, if you have good clock sync across your base stations.

Surprisingly, I don't mind that at all.

It takes a few seconds and they are really upfront about it. I can imagine OkCupid charging for such a filtering feature, but I've never paid for it just didn't seem "worth it". Especially since Match.com owns it, and I'm not really helping the underdog.
