Correct that you have to climb up. But isn't it fine that the Chinese have a different philosophy on governance? They don't want just anyone to be able to make nationwide changes on a whim. They want leaders to prove themselves first by working for 30 years. This is meritocracy. They see the possibility of someone like Trump getting elected, as a huge risk. I think we should allow earth to have diversity in governance systems.

I wonder what versions of those GUI applications that you like have you used.

I was very content with the GUI of Word, Excel or PowerPoint of 20 years ago.

On the other hand I despise the recent GUI of MS Office, where many options are not grouped in a way that I would consider rational and it is frequently very difficult to discover where some options are hidden.

The same with Internet browsers. I was very content with the GUI of Netscape Navigator, then Mozilla.

Firefox was worse than Mozilla since the beginning and it became worse and worse, with various options becoming more and more hidden or disappearing completely. Opera had retained for a longer time than other browsers a traditional, more customizable GUI, but then it has also succumbed to the modern fashion of dumbing down the GUIs.

When the tabbed windows were introduced in the Internet browsers, that was a great improvement. However, with this exception, in my opinion the browser GUIs have become worse, not better, than the old GUIs, because I have lost control over many features that I could configure in the past, while other surviving options have become increasingly difficult to discover.

So if we refer to their current versions, most of your examples are for me exactly the examples of the worst modern GUIs.
The idea that my overall browser performance might improve in a noticeable way because it is switching from NEON optimized Quicksort to SVE2 optimized Quicksort is simply laughable. On the other hand, switching to a processor fabbed on a better process node could easily have a noticeable impact on overall browser performance, or battery life while browsing, or both.

There are plenty of shortcomings of Erlang. They even post a bunch on the main website - https://www.erlang.org/faq/introduction.html#idm53

-You- said "But the actor formulation is too awkward for all but Erlang-specific use-cases". I was simply commenting that it's not awkward at all, for all sorts of use cases that aren't Erlang specific. Perhaps you'd like to define your terms better if you want to avoid people saying "hey, that statement as it comes across is flawed". Maybe you meant Erlang isn't the right tool to generalize to all use cases - no one would disagree. Maybe you meant what it sounds like, it's too awkward to use except for certain degenerate cases, in which case I strongly disagree; it's quite easy, and switching back to running N isolated units of execution on < N threads, and sharing memory between them, feels like a chore. Or maybe you meant something else entirely.

Maybe if you don't want to "get dragged into" a conversation on something...don't mention it on a public forum with such a badly worded statement?

Key talent is incredibly important. If you lose enough senior engineers, it doesn't matter how talented the rest are. You've lost so much institutional knowledge that is either extremely difficult or impossible to regain. And Apple is notoriously under-staffed for a lot of their projects. With the staffing losses to Nuvia, I wouldn't be surprised if they lost enough key talent that it's going to take them a long time to recover and be able to deliver significant performance improvements again. That's what happens when you treat software developers/engineers like commodities.

> Assuming you’re right, it’s really sad that multiple sibling posts assume that the app was doing something shady and selling the user’s data. It shows, in general, how little trust people have in apps on their own phones.

This is almost all apps. Your default assumption should be that anything on the big app stores is being as malicious as they can get away with -- especially if it is a forced install leveraging some product you have already purchased that could easily be sent over a standard protocol.

To you and all that have responded: there is no variation in HTML parsing between browsers. All engines are using precisely the same exhaustively-defined algorithm. There is no leniency or strictness. Their performance characteristics may differ outside of parsing, which includes what they do with the result of parsing, but in the parsing itself there should be basically no difference between engines or parsers.

Without nonlinearities like optimization/type checking/etc, the runtime is basically just the time to loop through the bytes. Make the input a quarter the size and you have a quarter the bytes to loop through. College classes will say “oh it’s all O(N) anyways, no big deal”. Industry on the other hand says “why make tens of millions of people wait 4 seconds for this to start when we could make them wait 1 second just as easily”.

The product’s source maps are publicly available in a way the debugger understands and the original code is freely accessible so there’s no real downside.

Almost certainly the future of warfare in similar ways to how Chemical Warfare was shaping up to be.

This is a weapon that only works on a very small scale, because as soon as it's deployed at even modest scale by an aggressor, the world will & should get very very very angry & would be immensely justified in taking extraordinary measures against any country deploying a system of such mechanized slaughter.

That said, I don't think drones are quite as unstoppable as they might at first feel, at a nation vs nation scale. We're starting to get ok at laser defense, and that near-instant speed negates a lot of the advantages of a flighty, small drones. It'd be harder but we could probably also adapt flak & re-engineer a better "proximity fuse" that can acquire these small targets, and get decent results.
The more we automate the better. Computers don't ask to keep the change.

>As an example of an inefficiency: Most popular testing frameworks are oblivious to code changes. No matter what you actually changed, the default is to run the entire test suite from beginning to end, which is of course rather inefficient. But to support the kind of seamless develop/build/test cycle that I sketched out, you will want to have exactly that incrementality.

That's a job for the testsuite then, I don't want my version control system to require language specific knowledge. It is also a very hard problem if you want to do it 100% correct. Impossible I would say.

>It's certainly related to Git, because if you have a live, shared codebase where you don't "commit and push" but rather just edit code that's seamlessly uploaded to the cloud, then the traditionally "commit-push-build-test" workflow loses its meaning. If your editing is "live", it follows that your build/test cycle should also be.

I really don't understand how that could work or why you even want it in the first place. It sounds like a nightmare to me. I want to be able to make some local changes, stage them, maybe commit and rebase and finally review and push. For very simple documents live editing works great, but for bigger ones it sucks. I would love to see documents move to the git workflow. Imagine a Word document or an Excel table with an automatically generated version history table from commits, that would be great.
My company gave me a choice between a Thinkpad running Windows and a Macbook. So yeah, of course I chose the MB.
Yeah that's NEON. And there's instructions that literally calculate SHA256 so generalizing that is moot. My point was first, what real benchmarks are there of SVE2's benefits over NEON with mainstream CPUs that M2 would compete against? Unlike AVX-512, NEON was already pretty rich, so the new instructions have rather specialized usefulness.

Because outside of servers where little cores don't exist, 256b ALUs in big cores mean 256b registers in little cores, and Cortex-A510 is way smaller than Gracemont. And then you're giving Samsung another opportunity to screw up big.LITTLE...

And even the server CPUs with SVE are 2x256b except A64FX which is HPC exclusive, so no better than 4x128b.

California has a total ban on non-competes.

A very small handful of other states put restrictions on non-competes, but even those generally allow non-competition agreements if time limited, and the employee makes over ~$100k.

It’s widely accepted that prohibiting non-competes has been a significant factor in the tech industry success in California.

As one example, it is well known that Amazon aggressively enforces non-competes, even against line engineers.

Is it okay to publicly joke on someone’s name in the US? Didn’t Basecamp got criticism for not even public and mostly English sounding name jokes a few months ago? I find this quite offensive to do this to a foreigner with a non English sounding name.
Totally agree. We have no concept of what it was like back then. Death was ever present. In the 1850's in the US the child mortality rate was ~40%, meaning just over half of the children born lived to the age of five. It would be expected that a mother and a father would find more than one of their children deceased at some point in their lives.

If it weren't for these photographs there would be in most cases no surviving image of these children. I can imagine as a parent there would be some burden to give your child's existence some durability.

This is a commercially available product for wave prediction on ships:
https://nextocean.nl/wavepredictor.php

Not specifically meant for rogue waves though, but rather to predict calm streaks in the waves affecting the ships motion. This is useful, e.g. when landing a helicopter or transferring cargo or persons to another ship while at sea.

I can confirm that there is a lot of interesting math involved and, as noted in the article, a challenging amount of computation to do in a real-time prediction setting.

I've used i3 on top of ubuntu 18.04 gnome for the past 4 years, and it's been mostly a positive experience.

Pros:
- Updates are consistent, very rarely do I experience a bug
- Configuration is straightforward and flexible; simple yet very customizable
- Integrates well with plugins like polybar (customizable toolbar) and rofi (tui app launcher)
- Easy to position windows across multiple monitors
Cons:
- Very barebones
- Difficult to configure apps that use multiple floating windows, splash screens, dynamic docks (gimp, eclipse, teams)
- Programs can grab focus way too easily
- Lacks smooth transition of control between windowed and floating modes

I wished there was a wm that gave me the simplicity, stability, and snappiness of i3, but with better floating window support, and context menus to configure common window properties

Go has OS threads and “green threads” (named “go processes”). You create green threads via the go keyword and the Go runtime assigns that to an OS thread. You can have many go processes to a single OS thread and typically have a maximum of 1 OS thread per CPU core (though that is configurable).

The GP is correct that you cannot manage go processes from outside of that green thread. With (for example) POSIX threads, which still leaves a lot to be desired, you can at least manage the thread from other threads.

Go definitely has some rough edges around threading. The idea is you’re supposed to use channels for everything but in my experience channels have so many edge cases for subtle ways to completely lock up your application that it’s often easier to fallback to the classic mutex-style idioms.

I do really like the go keyword, it’s handy. But I have a background in POSIX threads so probably find concurrency in Go easier than most yet even I have to concede that Go under-delivered on its concurrency promises.

Is there any small and interesting research directions of NLP recommended?
Popular NLP model(bert, GPT) is getting more and more bigger, the cost can't affordable for single person not rely big company, it's bad for diversity in research.

I admit bigger model have better performence, but I think explicable and modifiable technology is more important, bigger model seem that do nothing more in explanatory of model.

More and more people can put into NLP, help NLP to Artificial General Intelligence faster, if the cost is lower.

Thanks for any advice.
