I'm a little confused about why the curves are "sampled" to update the joint transformations:
```
So if we are rendering 60 frames per second, we are basically doing the following 60 times a second:

Sample all the curves you see on the graphs to get the orientation of each joint...
```

When the curves are "sampled", does that mean in a 60 fps animation, there are 60 timestep values t={t1, t2, ... t60} sampled from a uniform distributions, and evaluated at x(t), y(t), z(t), and w(t), and then those values are stepped through sequentially? If that is the case, why not just set t={1/60, 2/60, ... 1}?

Or does "sampling" here just mean function is evaluated at an appropriate t value, and not refering to statistical sampling?
If the minimum wage worker had free housing, food, electricity, etc. your calculation would make sense. Generally if you are a minimum wage worker who is working full time, a large component of your disposable income goes into those things (living paycheck to paycheck).

So having a disposable income at all is a luxury, even if it's 10% of your income. Assuming that 10% figure, you can multiply those 3 days by 1/10% = 10 and you get 30 days of working for one weekend of camping. Not really great.
There is the well-known "sugar crash" but it sounds like you basically start the crash without any of the energy boost.
K-9 has served me pretty well over the last 8ish years.

It has remained beautifully lightweight (quite an exception for apps nowadays) and the biggest (yet perfectly tolerable) annoyance has been long lines not wrapping automatically.

I'm 9/10 sceptic about this cooperation and I'll be positively surprised if the future versions do not introduce lots of unnecessary bloat.
Follow-up question:

What is the model’s behavior when “idle”. Does it propogate actions independently or does it only respond to stimuli?
Basically a blue state problem. Maybe they should look at what red states do?

A programmer I know worked in Germany for a while when younger. He did not mention any laws, but said that it never occurred to anyone to eat at the desk--it just wasn't done.

Out of IE, Firefox and Chrome (and presumably also Safari, given its shared history with Chrome, but I can't test it), curiously enough IE(11) was the only one [1] to allow properly selecting and copying generated content, i.e. text added via the CSS "quotes:" or "content:" properties.

Firefox/Gecko at least does a workaround for handling quotation marks (though it is rather hacky, because it always copies them as a standard ASCII double quotation mark instead of whatever typographically more appropriate character the page might actually be using, and it always adds both opening and closing quotation marks even if the selection only straddles one of them), but gives up for free-form text added via "content:", and Blink and presumably also Webkit don't handle that kind of content at all.

[1] I've already forgotten how the old Edge based on EdgeHTML handled that scenario.
A Random Walk Down Wall Street by Burton Malkiel heavily informed my attitude to investment/savings and put to bed any dreams I had of magically day-trading my way to wealth in my spare time.

Thinking, Fast and Slow by Daniel Kahneman is just generally a really interesting book and impacted the way I view decision-making.

The Wind-Up Bird Chronicle by Haruki Murakami really opened my eyes to unconventional plotlines and surrealist/magic realist themes, and in doing so greatly impacted my exploration and enjoyment of literature and other art.

The "someone" might have a little more skin in the game than you do, though.
It's bonkers to use that terminology. The Soviet government called this stuff 'anti-Soviet', pretended they didn't oppress and discriminate, put healthy dissidents in mental hospitals as if they were crazy, labeled everyone a spy, etc. None of these things were true. We don't use, I dunno, Nazi terms to talk about the people who ended up in concentration camps. The musicians who tried to help regular Soviet citizens emigrate were not spies infiltrating the Soviet union for an 'anti-Soviet operation'. It is very much bananas verbiage.
The import bit to me is “the time for that has passed”: make the effort to better the company before leaving. Talk candidly (but politely) to your manager about things you think are going wrong and try to work out something from there.

Don’t wait your exit interview to burst the dam, and don’t make your leaving a revelation that you were serious about these issues.

In that sense, the exit interview should be useless.
Edge has an IE mode which is essentially hosting a trident control in an edge host so you can still stop using iexplore.exe and use this as your exception case.

We've tested this at my company that hasn't finished getting rid of java applets and it is taking place of IE until we're done with migrating away from them.
I mean even buying straight from small farms the meat isn't cruelty free. The small farms still primarily ship their animals for slaughter to the same slaughterhouses, or "best case" scenario they slit the animals' throats themselves.

Would you consider having your throat slit to be a cruelty free way to die? Watch some videos of Chechen soldiers having their throats slit, or people being killed in that fashion by Isis, and tell me if it seems cruelty free to you.
I agree with most of what you said, except that Bitcoin looks like a good store of wealth. It has a very short track record, and has shown huge volatility. How does that indicate a good store of wealth?
As an Australian, fascinating! I would guess that Tue majority of home loans here are variable.

Another question - with a normal fixed interest loan for 30 years, does that normally include paying off the principal? I.e after the 30 years, the loan is paid off?

Here, fixed interest usually don't pay down the loan whereas a variable loan pays down 100% of the principal after the 30 years
It's strange but I don't get paywalls on The Economist, I wonder why. I'm using Brave.
Multiple displays have a tremendous advantage that cannot be matched in software, namely that you can adjust each monitor to its use-case. The portrait monitor I use for web browsing is adjusted very differently than the one I use to game, or the one I use for TV.
Calling that a monopoly price shows ignorance on what a monopoly is. Even large metropolitan areas have just a handful of emergency vet hospitals. Emergency vet hospitals don't have an army of vets on standby to handle cases. 2-3 is common and they might be just interns/residents supervised by a more experience vet. Scarcity and lack of supply have a much greater effect than collusion.

Pet owners should know this before getting a pet, or properly plan.
> The behavior of multi-component systems are not necessarily reducible to behavior of individual components. But then again, this is also true for systems made out of humans (like societies) - yet we still consider humans sentient, and not societies.

And why is this mysterious? Humans behave in certain ways, societies in others. It turns out that the behavior of societies is more simplistic than that of humans.

> As far as the difference being that of "computation", how do you define that, if not as a series of physical state changes in response to external inputs?

Computation implies three parts: an input, an execution engine (computer) and a program to run.

A rock just falls - the information about how to fall is not encoded in any part of the rock, it is part of the universe.

A root cell divides according to external input (the medium in which it lives), and the nuclear organelles executing a program encoded in its DNA (it's more complex than this if we want to analyze it at the most basic level, as the cell or components of it do various rounds of sensing to interpret the input to the division logic).

This can easily be proved by infecting the cell with a virus - that will replace the DNA with a different kind of DNA, modifying the result of the cell division process. There is no similar way to modify the behavior of the falling rock.
Wow. After a 30 year fixed loan, do you then own the home? See my comment above
You can say that again. After using rg for a few years now, I can't imagine not having this tool, that I use weekly, if not daily

"You don't understand how the system works."

I can say with absolute certainty, that you don't either.

These billion parameter models are way to big for you or me to understand.

You make the same fallacy that Searl does.
You assume that unconcious substrate can't give rise to conciousness through their configuration.

Just like we have a good working theory on how the brain operates, the devil seems to be in the detail. It's neither in the big connectome/architecture, nor in the small mechanisms neurotransmitters/activation functions (or the attention mechanism that you somewhat wrongly describe), but somehow in the system's dynamics. Heck for all we know it might actually be the appearance of consciousness that actually gives rise to consciousness.

I can't say with 100% certainty that a calculator isn't having some form of ghost, after all some ants are little more than neurological counters and shift registers, and people would probably place them somewhere on the spectrum for having a ghost that is closer to a human than to a sewing machine.

Are there any books you recommend?
The main question is your main motivation and the tradeoffs with respect to time, energy, and money. I think it would be helpful if you could expand on your motivations a little more.

For your personal knowledge: do you find that classes enable you you to learn better? Have you tried self-teaching things or taking MOOC classes on your own? Does the structure help? What do you want to know that you don't know now (unknown unknowns notwithstanding), and how do you think classes would help?

For making your profile more appealing to companies: what kind of work do you want to do? For example, if you want to do PhD level research work, you'll probably need a PhD. For that work you're interested in, have you found your current profile is limiting you? You mention you don't want to be a SWE, so it would be interesting to hear which work you _are_ interested in.

Source: I went through the process of doing a part-time MSCS while working full time as a SWE (details at https://alexanderell.is/posts/mscs/ if you're interested) and have way too many opinions about it.

A couple convincing replies is all you really need on social media.
You made a web site that displays a document. Not a web app. Web apps, like native apps, have a lot more UI state that needs certain patterns and tech to manage them properly. Many devs can discern the difference and use the correct tools. Some do reach for the wrong tool but it's not the tools fault.
The challege will be that nobody wants to spend an extra 20-30 minutes hanging around someplace doing something that they weren't needing or planning to do anyway. For example I'm not going to want to start hanging out at an EV coffee shop when I don't go to coffee shops now.
I really thought I had written "dawned"... I think it's the same issue I have when writing "ratio", I always end up writing "ration".

Combined with massive influx of slaves from Gaul and other places making latin farm laborers too expensive.

Still, the effect is the same. A large proletariat with very little income demanding to be fed by the state. With significant political power, based on making up a large percentage of the population in the capital.
That's only applicable for systems with a network connection. Many things still don't and shouldn't.
I see this kind of comment often, somebody implements a solid security improvement measure and a popular response is "what about x!?"

No, enabling MFA for the most popular packages won't end all security, but also your strategy of targeting subdependencies isn't very good, every dependency of a popular project will be more popular than its dependent parent.
Other than what other commenters have already mentioned, Java has probably one of the best tools for actual correctness verification, due to it being huge both in academia and in production environments.

There are multiple model checkers, static analysis (and no, I’m not just talking about some basic linting, but e.g. Checker Framework pretty much augments Java’s type system with many other compile-time verified features, not only adding null-safety, but checks for map keys, tainting, etc), and even a complete verification tool which adds a whole language to specify the behavior of your functions, and will statically verify what it can, but will add runtime checks for statically not-verifiable parts (JML)
This in turn means that you can write a sort function and verify whether its output will uphold the sortedness property.

And then I didn’t even mention the observability of the platform (which is probably the best, or at least one of the best of any plaform), where you can stream many kind of interesting data in realtime from even a prod system, with almost zero overhead (JFR), tools like VisualVM, etc.

Correctness doesn’t stop at the language level, it probably barely starts there.
This is a helpful way to look at this thank you
You don't attack established authors and frameworks. The low hanging fruit I was referencing is choosing something easy to disprove such as "eggs kill" or "roman empire fell because lead poisoning". After these results are published, the process is reversed. You disprove "eggs don't kill" or "lead poisoning had no bearing on the fall of roman empire". Ad infinitum.
Many companies already use third party platforms to manage performance reviews. Who's to say that this isn't already happening?

I have just watched an ops team say "hey there's a security problem with our version of Tomcat, we need to update it", and then nothing works anymore for a few hours until they get every problem.

My observed odds of a point version upgrade on a normal web server breaking something is 0%. That includes Microsoft IIS, that is a patently known piece of shit.

It is absolutely possible to create a new police force in the US, and not really that uncommon.

In fact, schools are a good example of this.

Creating a new police force is probably not any harder than making an MVNO and probably much easier than acquiring spectrum to create a real wireless carrier.

That's absolutely not true, and it sounds like 101 xenophobia. Immigrants in the U.S. are significantly better educated than U.S. natives.

This is precisely as reductionist as the author’s claim about monogamy.

There are a thousand reasons that someone may be drawn to either lifestyle, a thousand more reasons why someone might find themselves shifting between them, and still a thousand more reasons why someone might be situationalist and not identify with any prevailing lifestyle for themselves at all.

Depthful discussions about different ways of living can be interesting and enlightening, but making reductionist claims about the “other” doesn’t deliver on that.

I agree, I swapped from 2x27" 2K monitors to 1x34 ultrawide and the biggest change for me was the ability to focus on one thing.

Being able to just make one window full screen really helps me concentrate. Having a second screen constantly doing stuff just broke my focus.

When I need multiple Windows I can just tile with a window manager.
Most likely it's a model server running something like https://github.com/tensorflow/serving and if there isn't a lot of load, the resource could kill some of its tasks. I wouldn't imagine it's sitting around pondering deep thoughts.
I'm a private healthcare advocate (I live in Canada where it's not supposed to exist and our government healthcare is not very good).

That said, this is a downside of under-regulated private healthcare, or at least an argument for government intervention. (Note that public healthcare systems like canada could still use this immoral software.) I can imagine some horrible race to the bottom where ad-supported healthcare (accompanied by intrusive personal data harvesting) is the norm. That's basically how every other business works, it's no surprise you'd find it in healthcare. Personally I think there should be rules that straight up prohibit it, no opt-in or anything else. Just like insurance companies tracking information so they can charge people more and deny more claims, it's a net loss to society, and if government has any role, it should be to protect against this.
I cannot speak for c++, but I recently rewrote an optimised c routine in assembly. A 2-4x speedup obtained. I might have gotten partway with careful tuning of the source, the way the parent suggests, but I could have not gotten all the way.
Where are you getting this $60,000 number from?

- A Nissan LEAF costs $19,990 when taking the federal tax credit for purchasing a new electric vehicle

- VW ID.4 with the tax credit is $33.5K

- Kia Niro EV with the tax credit is $32.5K

- Hyundai Kona Electric with the tax credit is $26.5K

- Hyundai Ioniq 5 with the tax credit is $32.5K

- Chevy Bolt with no incentives is $26K

- Chevy Bolt EUV with no incentives is $27K

If you don't have any tax liability to take the federal tax credit, you can lease and the leasing company takes the credit and rolls the discount into the payments.

If demand drops a bit as the economy cools down, you will be able to buy used electric cars for cheap again as well.

Outlook still used IE11 for some of its functionality up to Office 2021, until Microsoft recently patched it to use Edge. 2013 to 2019 still use IE11 for rendering some functionality inside Outlook. And of course MS Word (!) for rendering emails.
No one seems willing to say it out loud, but the reason we can't fire all the police at once is that they will retaliate by looting and killing civilians. This was one of the mistakes the US made after invading iraq, and also a problem the roman empire kept running into in its later years.
I ran NT4 on my Thinkpad briefly around 98 or 99... it sucked. Power management didn't work at all. USB didn't work at all. The video driver was awful. The built-in ethernet didn't work; you had to use a PCMCIA card to get networking at all.

Essentially, it turned the laptop into an under-powered desktop with a built-in UPS and slow video.

These things were generally better by the time 2000 came around... but NT4 was never any good on my laptop. (And at the bank where I worked when I graduated in 1999, it was terrible on those as well. The senior managers' laptops were the only systems in the bank allowed to use 98.)
Yes definitely, what I meant is that I would probably use AWS as a fallback for my basement, or maybe the other way around. I didn't make that clear at all.
That's effectively what TFA advocates:

Say nothing negative about anyone or anything. Tell them that you’ve found another opportunity that you need to take, and that it’s been a privilege to work with them all. And that’s it.
Also, the "bad lobbyist" is always someone on the other side, or nebulous wealthy private actors, or big-bad corporations. Rarely do be people consider things like the efforts of their favorite advocacy group "lobbying" - for example the ACLU, AFL-CIO, or League of Women Voters, should they be limited in how their outreach is is performed? Remember Citizens United was NOT about campaign contributions, but rather independent expenditures that were on the same topic of an election, not coordinated with a campaign. Should LGBT+ groups be limited in how much than can spend to stop odious restrictions of their rights, or planned parenthood campaigning for maintaining the Roe/Wade status-quo? The cost of that is advocacy, influence pedaling, and media spending by other groups you may not support. This is why free-speech is always under-pressure. On the other-hand, we can do much more to require transparency.
If I'm going to look for examples for "the price of hired labor reflects these basic economic principles," expert witness fees are about the last place I'd look.

You're dealing with a very small population of eligible workers, and it's very difficult to join that group (you have to qualify as an "expert" in the subjective opinion of some jurors who are yet to be chosen).

Furthermore, the "value" of an expert witness's report is nearly impossible to quantify (how do you know it's why their side of the case won or lost?).

Finally, the people who pay for those workers are largely immune to price pressures: a law firm hires them and bills it to a wealthy client, who has no say in what they're paid.
