>Preventing data collection is the first step to user privacy.

Apple are the first to actually do this properly by cross-app tracking, forcing developers to outline data collection statements, and providing clearer sharing acceptance pages.

> Once BigTech has your data, they can do anything with it in the future (despite what they say today) because of the lack of appropriate law and regulation to prevent this.

This is entirely incorrect. HIPPAA and GDPR are very clear about PII health data, and a large corporate like Apple will be fined through the teeth violating it. Changes to the PP are communicated, and allow the user to opt out by discontinuing the service. Sure they’re sometimes opaque, but Apple has built a reputation on responsible data policies, which are frequently contrasted with those of other big tech data factories like Facebook and Google.

Catastrophic interference is proposed as one cause of maybe pathological forgetting in the brain. This forgetting in the brain may be strongly linked with creativity. Are there links to hippocampal neurogenesis?

Catastrophic interference
> Proposed solutions
> Orthogonality:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Catastrophic_interference :

> Input vectors are said to be orthogonal to each other if the pairwise product of their elements across the two vectors sum to zero. For example, the patterns [0,0,1,0] and [0,1,0,0] are said to be orthogonal because (0×0 + 0×1 + 1×0 + 0×0) = 0. One of the techniques which can create orthogonal representations at the hidden layers involves bipolar feature coding (i.e., coding using -1 and 1 rather than 0 and 1). [10] Orthogonal patterns tend to produce less interference with each other. However, not all learning problems can be represented using these types of vectors and some studies report that the degree of interference is still problematic with orthogonal vectors. [2]

I think V will persevere, because the community has enough support and momentum to continue, and because the direction and syntax of the language will continually attract as well.

Even the outrageous trolling and harsh criticisms also brings attention and curiosity about the language, that other developing languages can't and don't get. V will stay in people's minds and on their lips, keeping it popular. Many critics will say one thing, but will also be trying and using V, and it has been the case they become contributors to the language or are eager to see its next release. As the language makes corrections and continually improves, it's "baptism by fire", will make it even more viable and useful upon each release and in the long run.
Do you really think they're "learning" it? Nobody is all that surprised by these events. People have been pointing this stuff out all along.
Or, more like TI locked you in to their garbage IDE that cost quite a lot of money to unlock fairly standard debugging and compilation features. They entirely shot themselves in the foot with that one.
I’m a fan of 10-year-old hardware. In 2012 I was handed an i7 3770 with 8 GiB of RAM and a git URI for WebKit and told go forth and port! I think the box cost $750 and I know it ran the latest Debian. This machine is still my daily use machine with today’s latest Debian, more HDD, some SSD for ccache, and triple the RAM. The original configuration was so nice I bought a duplicate for home use. That one has had its video card upgraded and the HDD replaced with SSD, it gets used somewhat differently. The graphics upgrade was to match it to a 21x9 screen I splurged on. And it runs Windows 10 decently enough.
There also is the the mental trap of what I call "car think" which happens to me whenever I have a car readily available. Distances that were no problem walking creepingly become unimaginable as the (contestable) comfort of a readily available car gets normalized. I can only imagine that this effect gets worse when it's your own car with "sunk cost" as part of the equation. I'm always happy when I get back to "city normal". Walking is awesome.

> We deal with data so you don’t have to.

I can’t find it now, but a while ago there was a post about map/data startups that basically boiled down to: Don’t.

The argument went like this:

People who want geospatial visualisations almost always want something custom.

Companies selling geospatial products believe that they can churn the data into “data layers” that serve “use cases” that mostly address this.

It’s always more work to work with a company to get the last mile of the custom use case… than it would have been to just do it yourself.

There aren’t that many paying customers.

…

I don’t know how true that is in reality, and the article was more nuanced than my dumb summary, but… really? A subscription product to annotate maps, which has built in “data layers” so “you don’t have to”?

Sounds very familiar.
> this bank has no FDIC insurance, no backstop, nothing

This was partly true in the S&L crisis [1]. And for depositors in e.g. Cyprus or Iceland in '08. The difference, however, was depositors in S&Ls and Cypriot and Icelandic banks were legally depositors. The banks' assets were insufficiently liquid to accommodate them en masse. But those assets had value. And that value went, almost first and foremost, to the depositors.

In crypto, there is no such protection. It is likely creditors, employees, tax authorities and secured lenders get paid ahead of users, who are at the end of the day simply unsecured creditors. (And bad ones at that.) Night and day. (Given Coinbase's debt trades comparably to Russia's [2], the smart money is betting users will get nothing in a failure.)

Aside: There is another way to look at it. Users' assets at these firms are CoCos [3]. After the crisis, regulators pushed these bonds which convert into equity when the borrower is distressed. Vauld is distressed. It has to make its loan payments, those lenders can shut it down if it defaults. But it doesn't have to pay users, or even let them withdraw their funds. So their funds "convert," in effect, into equity. Money Vauld can play with to buy time until their assets rally or right the ship with a lighter burn.

The devil is in the details. Once they will start probing, the candidates who had made up stories would start floundering.
Eh, here in Ireland nearly anywhere I'd describe as a "pub" is still relatively quiet unless it's a busy night with live music. Most pubs don't have particularly loud piped music, or they have none at all.

Now there are a host of modern "bars" with extended drink and cocktail menus and cacophonous piped music, especially in city centres. But in most traditional pubs the ambient noise comes almost entirely from the patrons.
Yep, rode out a layoff with that plan in mind recently. Took a very long vacation and still had a month or two of double pay - April was the first 5 paycheck month of my life, so that was cool. But on the whole it's pretty stressful waiting to get laid off, can't say I'd recommend it, though in my case it worked out pretty well.

The good thing about cities is they make parking so freaking annoying, expensive, hazardous (small parking spaces) and time consuming that walking becomes much more tolerable.

Downside to walking is a weekly family shop isn't easy to carry around.

I have heard some folks throw shade on MapBox, but it appears to be a pretty good system, from what I have seen.
two real stories -- one is a successful but small company whose products I admired; I brought a demo that I wrote and showed it in the interview (yes this did actually happen long ago), I then asked the interviewer directly "how did I do this?" .. he was the engineering manager for all the coders, founder level and had an actual PhD in physics.. ten years older than me perhaps.. and, of course he did not know! he was a good sport about it. He was impressed! tricky graphics.. honestly I did get further but I wanted more money than they wanted to spend so it didnt happen. Second story is that I interviewed at Giant Company with a technical manager, who asked me a coding question about operating system code.. I had actually studied the OS source code for that particular part in the week before the interview. I then recited a lengthy and detailed description of the OS mechanism and afterwards, knowing I had hit the right points, I asked him -- how is it that you know about that, it is pretty obscure. He confidently leaned back, no drama, and replied "you mention that in your resume so I asked about it. I thought it would be a good question" .. he had no previous exposure to that topic and basically admitted it. (all before this hazing style become "standard").

ps- the first time I saw the hazing style interview was a group of technical project managers from Microsoft, on the campus of Apple, interviewing for a certain project. I suspect Google picked it up partly from Microsoft, who designed the method to control the interview and watch the response from the candidates. I asked "dont you want to see examples of my actual work?" and the frat-guy type said "no" flatly. also long ago...

I enjoyed reading the recent post here about interviews at Google where a introverted hardware guy was literally pursued by Google, and when he went for the interview, they started doing this "grad school algorithms" routine on him. Who here knows hardware? its not the same subject .. anyway, best to all

To just quote from Wikipedia:

"Qubit > Quantum register > Qudits and qutrits" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Qubit#Qudits_and_qubits

> ## Qudits and qutrits

> The term qudit denotes the unit of quantum information that can be realized in suitable d-level quantum systems.[8] A qubit register that can be measured to N states is identical[c] to an N-level qudit. A rarely used[9] synonym for qudit is quNit, [10] since both `d` and N are frequently used to denote the dimension of a quantum system.

> Qudits are similar to the integer types in classical computing, and may be mapped to (or realized by) arrays of qubits. Qudits where the d-level system is not an exponent of 2 can not be mapped to arrays of qubits. It is for example possible to have 5-level qudits.

> In 2017, scientists at the National Institute of Scientific Research constructed a pair of qudits with 10 different states each, giving more computational power than 6 qubits.[11]

> Similar to the qubit, the qutrit is the unit of quantum information that can be realized in suitable 3-level quantum systems. This is analogous to the unit of classical information trit of ternary computers.

> ## Physical implementations [of qubits,]

> Any two-level quantum-mechanical system can be used as a qubit. Multilevel systems can be used as well, if they possess two states that can be effectively decoupled from the rest (e.g., ground state and first excited state of a nonlinear oscillator). There are various proposals. Several physical implementations that approximate two-level systems to various degrees were successfully realized. Similarly to a classical bit where the state of a transistor in a processor, the magnetization of a surface in a hard disk and the presence of current in a cable can all be used to represent bits in the same computer, an eventual quantum computer is likely to use various combinations of qubits in its design.

> The following is an incomplete list of physical implementations of qubits, and the choices of basis are by convention only: [...]

What you're saying isn't wrong, but there are obvious solutions in front of us. We implement a universal basic income (indexed to inflation, so it absorbs any inflation it causes) to keep the minimal living standard high, we increase basic research funding by an order of magnitude or more, and we tax the hell out of the rich. The only reason this isn't happening is because so much of the putative "leadership", in every organ of society, is corrupted by the hyperconsumptive billionaire vampires that these institutions are supposed to regulate (or, better yet, prevent from existing in the first place).

We face, in 2022, a number of problems that are actually pretty easy to solve, but the people in charge won't let us. Well, history tells us exactly what to do when we face that particular problem...
But it will happen, just like people in government who hide what they do. FBI agents use personal cell phones to communicate. A Secretary of State used a personal email server for communications. The Freedom of Information Act has accelerated these not stopped them.

I respectfully disagree. I’ve scaled these teams myself, and it’s about giving developers in a small organization the job of deploying the solution and ensuring that it runs. In larger organizations, DevOps becomes impossible and it naturally splits into Dev and Ops. It’s important to understand where it works and when it stops working to effectively manage the transition as the business grows.
Well, it doesn't work in the other direction. If you have a million dollars you have enough to make one millionaire. But you don't have nearly enough to raise a million people's wages.
> I think it was a case of an extremely loud minority who weren’t even using it that contributed to canonical abandoning it.

As I recall it, the initial uproar was over the opt-out phoning home and web searches in the main menu/search integrated with the desktop. (Unity called this menu/search mechanism a 'lens'. Contemporary (10 and 11) windows start menus kinda resemble it, although they are worse when it comes to what people objected to in Unity.) Eventually Canonical relented and promised that the next (never finished?) rewrite of Unity would make those features opt-in.

Then there were conflicts with GNOME, where there were difficulties upstreaming parts of Unity, and GNOME was resistant to changing its direction for the sake of the alternative visions of downstream projects.

Both conflicts were unfortunate, but I don't think any of the big complaints were about the desktop experience itself. I don't remember hearing that Unity's vision for the desktop was a bad one, and as a user who was a very turned off by the whole shopping lens thing, I actually really liked the general lens functionality and desktop workflow, and I loved the global menu search.

I feel like despite the controversies, the potential of the desktop experience was always clear.

I'm sure they had their reasons for dropping it, but I wish Canonical had stuck with Unity, even if it wouldn't necessarily be my choice on all my machines, we still only have the big two when it comes to mature, feature-complete desktop environments on Linux and the free Unices.

From the rest of the article, it's pretty obvious that minimum wage had nothing to do with it, any more than a desire to see orcas was also the real reason, as opposed to yet another idle talk throwaway done on poor impulse.

You seem to be describing very early stage companies, and if so I agree, host it on your laptop if you need to, it makes zero difference. But it's not binary with Netflix on one side and early stage on the other.

There are a lot of companies in the middle, and following dogma like "you don't need k8s" leads them to reinvent the wheel, usually badly, and consequently waste enormous amounts of time and money as they grow.

Knowing when is the right time to think about architecture is a skill; dogmatic "never do it" or "always do it" helps nobody.
