If you do it by proof of authority, aren't you just back where you started with some hand-picked set of authorities which have to form a consensus, just like today's internet?
I absolutely disagree. How do you support that conclusion?

What I’ve heard from incels makes it easy to understand why women would be uninterested. That worldview and subsequent outcome would seem to be reinforced by spending lots of time with people who reinforce the negativity.
So they knowingly "exaggerated" the effectiveness of the masks most ppl were using, and to cover their ass there has been - sans the CDC announcement - zero effort to update that narrative? And these are the same ppl and entities insisisting "trust us" and "trust the science"?

This ^^^ isn't a conspiracy theory. This is what happened and is still happening. How am I, or anyone, supposed to truth that architecture?
Both short men and overweight women get the short end of the stick in their life. Rather than dragging this into a gender war, perhaps we should have more compassion to unattractive people (both men and women).

Zen 4 is rumored to have AVX512. AMD has in the past had support for wide SIMD instructions with half internal width implementation, so the die area requirements and instruction set support are somewhat orthogonal. There's many other interesting things in AVX512 besides the wide vectors.
Intel is removing AVX-512 support from their newer CPU's (Alder Lake +). :/

> If the comments here are any reflection on the broader society

My guess is they aren't.
C++20 is coming into a world with much more competition than C++11 did (the last comparably sized standard). When C++11 came out Rust, Go, Zig, Swift were all either in their infancy or didn’t exist yet. There was a huge desire for C++ to improve and improve fast given its centrality.

That world is not today’s world. Projects that would have been written in C++ in the past are often written in a different language now. This leaves C++ being useful mostly for legacy codebases, of which adopting new standards quickly is not so important.
That is a better idea. Or maybe it's possible to simulate movement completely with a small LCD panel underneath it?
Here are some numbers:

If your SaaS is not directly related to your consultancy work, you prob want to keep it separate. That way if any shit hits the fan you've got 1 income stream less at risk.

Plus it makes accounting simpler
Agreed. It gets even more crazier with int <-> float "casts" that silently change bits.
I think the suggestions are good, but the premises aren't. All of the statements that you click are an aggressive voice, but the revealed suggestion is passive.

That being said, so long as you don't feel as aggressive as the premises, you'll be okay.
You can define terms however you want, and thus devise any measure you want. But that’s not a definition of randomness I recognize. Perhaps entropy. Randomness is not a property of the result; it’s a property of the process used to generate it.

Let’s imagine applying your measure to a whole bunch of sequences, each of length N, with the elements of each actually drawn from a uniform distribution. You measure the randomness of each one. You’ll get a range of DLK results, distributed from, in your interpretation, “very random” to “not that random”. All-H or mostly-H will come up sometimes, the distribution estimator will return a skewed result, and it will get a divergent “score”. But everything came from the same distribution. So we’re now measuring the output of an actually random process and saying “we’ll, it’s usually random but not quite always”

In contrast, let’s try your method on a different population of sequences, where instead of pulling the sequence elements from a distribution, every sequence is a hardcoded copy of HTHTHT… That gives “perfectly random”, even though it was very far from a random process.

That’s close to what the study authors are doing here, except with a different definition of “random looking”. It’s measuring a property of a sequence, but it isn’t whether it was randomly generated.

We could debate about whether this is a good measure of “random looking” and there could be lots of alternatives with no objectively best. But that is my point: if I ask “make me something random-looking”, I am only asking “how closely does your measure of post-facto randomness match mine?” An actual random sequence would be, well, random.
I imagine one factor is that there are lots of OSS projects that are simultaneously startups in the data space these days.
It's an important question, but not too crazy for me. Think about Wolfram's automata.. 1 dimensional, recurrent, 3-wide inputs (ie super simple).. and one of the 256 possible rules generates randomness that is used as the PRNG in Mathematica.

Depends on the details of the ANN, but if it's a recurrent net then seems like there's at least one very shallow net that solves it.

Changing the fundamental grammar is a step too far. Compilers can warn or reject bare statements in control structures if you want.
Were do they claim it's good? They are just debunking it and explain the origin and why it was difficult/impossible. I even think I read post claiming that it was fake before.

Anyway, I agree that a similar story from the Russian army would have been atribute to evil troll farms instead of a grassroots confusion. But I expect the oposite type of coverage from the Russian and allied press.
> M1 iPad Air is $499

$599, actually.
I had about a 90 minute commute (either mostly driving or mostly train) for about 18 months--averaging coming into my Boston office maybe a couple days a week. I wouldn't have wanted to do that long term and stretches when I was in more frequently were pretty bad. But it's pretty manageable for one day a week.
I have learned the hard way that when dealing with government software (at least in the US), you must assume the least favorable/most unfavorable interpretation of any information given.

When I saw the email informing the author of the over-purchase, I knew there was no way out. Purchasing the difference, as the author did, would only cause more trouble. The questions now are how much will be refunded, whether any purchases will go through, and whether there will be a fine or legal action. Refer to the rule above for my guesses.

I think many people do not appreciate how devastating this is to public trust.
>Maybe it's the sunk cost fallacy.

It is 100% a sunk cost fallacy. Can't blame them, though, if you had 10-100M in virtual money, gimmick or not, would you let it go? Of course, not.
It's really hard for those startups in this status...
Maybe because it's a male dominated field, you'd probably find the same bias against men in the field of child care for example.
Also RAM. 32 GiB of (non-LP) DDR4 will consume around 10 watts constantly, regardless of load, and DDR3 was twice that.
I sense the sarcasm but I'm not sure which way you're intending it to go. What if you live in the arctic circle?
Physical theft from a store and failure to address contractual obligations are totally different things. This is purely a contract dispute. There is no criminality here. Reneging on a debt is not theft, theoretically because the two parties at some level consented to the relationship. There is no concept of consent when discussing physical theft, hence the criminality.

I don't expect the cops to arrest Amazon when they fail to deliver what I ordered.

No, this is just not how developing software works.

Throwing more lower-skilled people at a project just makes it move slower and reduces quality.
Re: Graphic Design and UX - you can get pretty far by using a component library (Material, Semantic, etc) and even buy full site templates for pretty reasonable prices. You can also contract out design to things like 99designs.

You will also never get any software updates or support in 3rd party roms.
Take any Chinese phone elephone/unihertz/etc. and look at their software update history.

You will read many promises of upgrades to the next android version on paid review channels and zero delivery every time.
These phones are supported for 6 months after launch at best and are basically e-junk.
Everyone does. Perhaps if python would add more support for FP (rather than its present hostility), we'd be able to phrase data transformations more naturally in the language.
> People essentially slept two times a night. They went to bed at sunset. Then, they woke up for an hour or two around midnight, which apparently was used, everything being dark, for sex and contemplation. And then they fell asleep for a second time, until sunrise

This, as far as I can tell, was not a very universal thing, at least across cultures.
Maybe because of IO costs?
Seems like a stretch to think that your personal wifi hotspot device is an ISP, almost like the author is grasping at straws to come up with ways this will affect anybody who isn't an ISP. If we're going to have WWIII this summer, of course everybody needs to make sure the Russians can't get into the Internet. And we will.
On the contrary I feel like that's pretty close to what my PO and PMs do all day.

I used to work at a former Nokia company and my PO was Finnish. He would get people upset all the time by simply being too direct, especially with American colleagues.
That calculator led me into a 40-year programming career! From building it came building a 6502 micro then self-taught assembler, Forth, and contract programming jobs (first one: a multi-user homegrown-networking accounting package in Forth for a UK water utility).
You don't need an accountant to sign off your books at this level. Its totally legal to do them yourself, and submit them directly the Companies House and HMRC. Micro-entity accounts should take a few hours a year if you use any of the decent online accounting packages.
I suppose it depends on your career goals.

Myself I love development. I love all SW development. I would find a career in COBOL too stagnate.

If your goal is a career of steady paycheck. If you are happy doing mostly maintenance work. Then COBOL could be a career for you.

There is always the risk of the companies redeveloping their SW, but at this point, you have to wonder, if they have not done it yet, why would they in the future.

What confused me in their wording is that they seem to imply that the problem is: b would be left uninitialized, rather than: a depends on uninitialized b.
Your explanation, OTOH, is straightforward to read.
I quit viewing the NYT as a reliable news source after they sold all those lies about Iraqi WMDs to the American public on behalf of the Bush-Cheney-Rumsfeld neocon crowd. It's not hard to say informed without relying on such corporate media outlets with obvious ulterior motives. For example, if I want to read about Apple's M1 Ipad (I do like ipads, though mostly use Linux now), just go to DuckDuckGo and enter

Apple M1 Ipad "engineering" design

Flip through the first 50 results, you'll get a better view on what's up than the NYT provides, with its drivel about 'the soul of Apple' and similar fluff nonsense. You can try it on Google as well, but then half the page is just ads.

[edit: one thing I discovered by doing that is that the M1 Ipad is going to be very difficult to repair, which is a huge negative for me]
That’s my interpretation too, fwiw. But I stuck with the narrower facts
The stimulus checks will never be a mistake. Ideally they should never have happened though.

It seems to me there's really 2 problems that predated the stimulus cheques.

1. Border screening or closing the border to as much as possible. Quarantine for all things crossing the border. This was considered xenophobic by some politicians. Borders can sometimes be closed.

2. No general lockdowns at all, just sick benefits for if you're sick. Politicians decide who pays the sick benefits, government or employer. Unlimited sick days and let people stay home.
I agree but Ive was also a megaphone.
Exactly right. If you shuffle a playlist of 100 songs I expect a random list of 100 unique songs—no repeats.
Engineering artificial photosynthetic life-forms through endosymbiosis
As someone 1.5 years into working for a startup, this was cathartic. That opening paragraph says everything I've felt.

The highs are really high, and the lows just feel stupid. My boss was in <very important magazine's top young professionals list> last year. The next day, I couldn't find an allen key because someone took the whole rack. One day, the product is on the cover of <well-known scientific journal>. The next day the `develop' branch doesn't compile because someone merged a change to a submodule without updating the other repos.
I think a simple keylogger that also reads window titles is much easier to build, than to read and control content inside a browser.
This kind of technique would work really well if they are targeting a small group of users.
One can argue that reading browser content through a browser extension would be equally easy to implement, but that's harder to hide and limits your scope to only browser activity.
“Statistically likelier,” but still mathematically possible confirms the OP’s point.

This seems to be really testing for pseudo-random numbers. Relevant Dilbert (and article): https://www.lancaster.ac.uk/~blackb/RNG.html.
You're forgetting about server CPUs, and we don't know yet about Raptor Lake.
Who is we? YMMV, but any sort of emphasis on critical thinking wasn't my experience in an Arizona school district in the late eighties/early nineties. If such curriculum was available, the kids who took it were likely outliers in having influences to push them in that direction.
Not to degrade the quality of the conversation with sci fi level speculation, but it's funny ideas like these can inspire and unblock other ones. This comment started as an adolescent cog.sci joke in the 90's about "the blinkenlight that was smarter than you" because it was powered by a PRNG, and if we couldn't reproduce or predict it, it was therefore ethically a generally intelligent AI and the burden of proof shifted to humans to show it was not.

However, I'd take the joke a step further where if a neural network model can act as a strong CRNG, it is essentially a unique instance of itself, which has intent and a function of will that is not within our ability to precompute. It's sci-fi magical thinking, but also simple enough to scale.

Where it becomes kind of fun to think about is that the instance of an ML model expressing a CRNG is now unique in the universe - in an information theoretic sense. It's not that RNG's are alive, but a uniqueness constraint for phenomena in a given universe would probably rely on something like one, where the "cryptographic" aspect removes mutual information between its outputs, and distributes them so they don't collide. If you are an AI, and you are living in a universe where uniqueness and "distance" is defined by a function that removes information between instances of local phenomena, there may be aspects of it that imply correlations and limits, even collisions and shortcuts.

Loopy, sure, but speculating about how an AI might navigate and operate on its substrate could reflect conceptual limits of what we can know about our own.
Sorry, for clarity, I mean tax minimisation of existing liabilities. You (based on your description) do not have an existing liability that you're looking to minimise, rather, you're looking to minimise future liabilities. Property is a common example of an asset that someone may wish to transfer into a Limited company to minimise existing liabilities (for example, stamp duty). If your business was something you'd acquired personally (i.e: you paid £500k of your own money to acquire from a third-party) and you were still in the red on the acquisition which was influencing your tax situation, that would be an example where you'd want to consider tax minimisation in the process of forming a Limited company.
>I told you so

>As per my prediction, this outcome does not come as a surprise.

Whew ... that sounds quite arrogant and egoistical.

I'd probably just say "you see, I told you so" with a very friendly attitude, almost as a joke, followed by "but it's fine, let's focus on how are we going to proceed now that ...".
I suspect darkness works, but only because it mitigates circadian rhythm issues somewhere else.
It’s tricky wording.

When they say “b is used uninitialized”, they’re referring to it’s usage in that snippet. It’s uninitialized when referenced as a value for “a”.

It’s pretty easy to read that text as suggesting that b would be uninitialized in subsequent code, but that’s (not true, as you suspect, and) not what it’s talking about.
Canon is probably mentioned in the contract re Lucas. He is certainly forbidden from releasing new content that is in any way connected to SW. He is also probably under some sort of obligation not to do interviews or release statements about what is and isn't cannon. Hypothetically, if Lucas came out and said that Episode II was a mistake that shouldn't be cannon, or admit that the existence of the Christmas special, Disney would go after him for acting in bad faith.
What about sending a patch to them?

This is why for example when you take your car to the DMV to get a new drivers license, there is always a small chance you will leave without a license, or a car for that matter.
I think a large reason of why Clang lags behind in C++ standards is that Google and Apple don't really use modern C++ at all. Google has strict guidelines that prevent people to use half of the language (look at exceptions, for instance, without which most of the STL is crippled) and they use Abseil anyway, so they don't really care about the STL in the first place.

Apple on the other hand mostly uses C++ in very restricted scopes such as DeviceKit which are very limited and can't safely use the entire language anyway. Xcode-shipped Clang and libcxx are often pretty old, too. They don't really need C++ that much above what C++03 already had, so it's clearly an afterthought for them.
I found myself laughing for having used a majority of these phrases in meetings or emails. To each his own, I guess.

The initial phrase is what you use in verbal communication, if you have a close working relationship. The 'professional' version goes in the email, which you assume is publicly distributed.
I believe the idea is that you run feature flag management as a separate service. It's not meant for desktop software but rather as a component of a microservices architecture. This is not uncommon - I know at least one of the FAANGs has something like this internally.

Flagsmith [1] (formerly Bullet Train) is another open source feature-flags-as-a-service software, and they have their own SaaS offering now.

I mean... in my case, there wasn't really much of an argument. I guess it was "rich people are better than poor people," which, I do want to discredit, but also don't want to legitimize.
Stagnated? Weren't PowerPC chips pretty advanced compared to Intel whose chips were carrying a lot of baggage at the time? Given that PowerPC chips were based on RISC, I'd guess they're a lot closer to the M1 than modern Intel chips are.

My understanding is that IBM/Motorola's struggle with achieving volume is what doomed them not a lack of innovation.

This is all way outta my area of understanding though.
I'm looking forward to the full implmentation of C++20. I'm just a junior programmer, but I've just started playing around with modern C++ and it feels all more safe than I was initially planning. I was expecting more undefinded behaviour and memory leaks. Working in C++, at least for small scripts, didn't feel much more burdensome than Python.
The writer even mentions that many of the product pages are semi-bookmarked in the way of open tabs in their phone browser.

Why on earth would they WANT ads served to them at random that might be related to the product page they visited?
This is only on the client side; server still has and will have AVX512 for the foreseeable future.
I like the general direction of this.

I do want to note that "there are many things for X in language Y" isn't necessarily a positive thing. It often means the community lacks the clarity of thinking or will to converge on one excellent product. Instead there are lots of okayish things each developed by a single person or handful of people.
The consultancy work is fairly low risk and would be covered by business insurance. Two Ltds would mean paying double the accountancy costs, getting two business current accounts, and a bit more personal admin? It doesn't seem worth it. If the SaaS started bringing in huge money I would likely stop consulting too.
Might is merely a fact not an argument.

The question was "why should", and might is merely why something does happen, not why it should happen.
Look on Reddit some people are taking much much more recreationally and the usage reports are pretty daunting.

Please stop spreading this fallacy, while downclocking can happen, usually the benefit is still strong and superior to avx256. Even 256 can induce downclocking. AVX 512 when properly utilized simply demolish non AVX 512 cpus.
So this has no interaction with the cube itself? It's just a stopwatch app that you press the spacebar to stop, and everyone trusts that you didn't cheat? It doesn't have a programmable hardware LED cube that the app dynamically loads problems onto for each round and logs your moves? Short of that, with a normal cube, it doesn't make you hold up the sides of the cube to the camera before the round to let it determine the problem? Nor make you hold up the cube to the camera after completion to ensure that you solved?
>They're not being paid for their work, they're collecting royalty payments based on a government granted copyright monopoly.

yeah, which they have because they didn't get paid for their work, took a risk that it would sell, it did, and because they hold the copyright they can get a share of the money when it sells.

at any rate copyright and patents are not the same thing either, although they are certainly related.
