Given that vehicles are trivial to get and licensing does nothing to stop driving, you have a fair point. IMO probably better to drop the licensing schemes and then execute / imprison those who recklessly crash into others.
The Sixth Extinction by Elizabeth Kolbert is required reading.

We’re in the midst of a very rare event, that we caused, are making worse, and we don’t know what will ultimately happen.
So then why don't we make public transit (buses, trains, etc.) free? These are publicly-funded infrastructure, and the fares exist primarily to limit usage, in addition to help fund the system.

The fact that motorists expect to get free roads while public transit users have to pay is an affront to the entire point of publicly-funded infrastructure.
IBM cell processor was incredibly expensive.

The PS3 probably was the cheapest way to play with it in practice. There is a reason why modern GPUs share an architecture with video gamers.

It's not about technical advancement, as much as economics. There are two groups of people who want TFlops of SIMD compute. Supercomputer groups, and video gamers.

Cell / PS3 was one attempt at making one device work with both groups, sharing research and economic investment.

NVidia over the next 15 years would execute these economics better however.
Definitely do the fast.ai course. Totally worth it.

But also use ISLR, Goodfellow, Bishop, etc.

Start with Andrew Ng's ML, then do the first part of Aurelien Geron book, then do Ng's DL specialization, then do fast.ai. Then learn PyTorch. A great book would be Sebastian Raschka's book. Also d2l.ai. A fast-paced, but really good course would be the Neuromatch DL tutorials.

Then move forward based on your interests.

Yann LeCun has THE best MOOC on DL on YouTube.

For the Math, I majored in Physics, so stuff came naturally. I suggest Imperial London's MOOC on Mathematics for ML specialization, Robert Ghrist's Calculus course, VMLS book for Linear Algebra. For stats, haven’t found a good one yet.

What you read, how much- these all depend on what you want to do. Where do you want to see yourself, and so on.

If you just want to brag about DL and put it on your resume so that you can get a job writing SQL queries and make PowerBI presentation as a "Data Scientist", then the bars are low.

If you want to do some DL, then that is another league altogether.

You need to be able to quickly read papers, understand ideas, use those for your own projects or papers.

Makes sense?

When you talk about spying on people to know everything about them in order to learn how to manipulate them, you're talking about brainwashing. Not the sci-fi concept of literally taking over their mind, but knowing everything, public and private, about someone and using that information to make them behave how you want them to behave is what I mean.

Some politicians also kill their political opponents in order to secure their own political positions of power. This is also a political advantage. How far exactly should we cross ethical boundaries in order to secure these perceived advantages?

I don't see any evidence that spying on people is a battlefield advantage. We already spy on people and we couldn't even stop 9/11. Further these low-tech ISIS-like groups have been successful all around the world even on high alert.

So again, these theoretical advantages aren't amounting to anything, but the consequences couldn't be more apparent. The lack of trust between the governing and governed classes is abysmal. It's damn near impossible to do anything consequential in politics because no one trusts each other. These consequences are astoundingly more real to me than these shadowy threats that somehow are so advanced, yet the real-world attacks are nothing more than low-tech extremists hijacking airplanes with razor blades.
I’ve noticed the volume of actual useful stuff for sale is lower than in the past, I think due to Facebook Marketplace. Facebook doesn’t offer anything better, just constant advertisement since it’s right there on the same website people are on to serve their social media addiction.
My mantra has been: "How does if fail? How does it scale?"

How does it fail? Are there enough metrics, structured logs, and/or tracing present to create monitoring and help dig into issues. Do the logs have the relevant information to reproduce the condition? Any network access is a potential failure point. Any disk access is a potential failure point. Capture any and all errors. I never want something to silently fail.

How does it scale? Monitoring machine metrics (cpu, mem, disk util, network util), monitoring responsiveness (timing metrics on network and expensive operations). Identify bottlenecks and run profilers.

The other part I ask myself is how I can make the tests better, the code more readable, the documentation more useful, the dashboards more actionable (do they tell a story to someone new to the team that will help them debug), the runbooks more clear on working with alerts, better content in the alert itself including links to runbooks (a favor to anyone on call at 2am).
For the avoidance of doubt, Marketplace won because it's _in Facebook_, and FB push it heavily, not because it's better. It's just as full of spam, scams, and people being crap to each other.

I agree with everything you say. And bad numbers are awful. At some point of organizational size, executives can’t stay on top of everything and make good decisions without quantitative metrics.

That doesn’t mean making everyone full time metric gatherers. It doesn’t mean looking at the data uncritically. It doesn’t mean ignoring what you can’t measure. It does mean smartly measuring what you can.

No, it is not a law. Walk policies are standard for any half decent hotel brand. “Walk” is when you get sent from one hotel to another due to the hotel’s fault. Perhaps overbooking, or maintenance issue, or computer/clerical error, etc.

"There's nothing wrong with symlinks when files are opened with openat(), since in principal the program (or controlling program) should always be in control of the filesystem layout. It's open() that causes problems, and complex interactions with symlinks in attacker-controlled directories are just one of them."

One of my minor annoyances with new languages is the continued persistence of open-based file APIs, with openat APIs shoved off to the side if they are even implemented at all. If you start from scratch with an openat-based API, it's not even that hard; you basically get a file object, just one with some different attributes and methods (or appropriate local ideas), most of which you don't care about, and it's not that hard to work with if you start with that from day one. It can be quite hard to backport something deeply based on string-based path manipulation into the *at-based APIs, though.

I haven't deeply studied it but you ought to be able to simulate an openat-based API on a conventional filesystem that doesn't support it. It may not immunize you to security issues, but at least the code ought to be as portable as any other code that starts getting detailed about its interactions with filesystems, which is already "kinda, not very, some elbow grease required"... it's not like the bar is sky high because all that stuff already works perfectly across all platforms and filesystems anyhow.
If you haven't read a Discworld book I'm going to throw my vote behind Guards! Guards! as a great starting point.

I lived in low-sec for the majority of my time playing EVE. Was a Gal-mil rat that took any fight I could find. Still have good memories of some pretty crazy fights, and some pretty fun engagements. One of my favorites was making a mining barge into a trap for pirates and killing them when they tried to engage me.

The solo pvp life worked until off-grid boosting became so prevalent that most fights were no longer 1v1 even if there were only two ships actively shooting each other. When one ship is boosted to the gills because of a squadron mate somewhere in a safe-spot providing fleet boosts, things got less fun, and I ended up quitting.
I installed an RSS reader on my phone a couple of weeks ago, and I've been pleasantly surprised. All my sites have feeds, and I've replaced compulsively reloading half a dozen websites with occasionally opening a reader app. And having a common interface is nice. I wonder why I stopped using a reader, a decade or so ago.
Vernor Vinge explores this in “A Fire Upon the Deep” with a technology (I believe it’s called “Focus”) that turns people into extreme monotropes to perform complex tasks and solve difficult problems. It’s a great examination of the darker implications of being able to manipulate people in this way.

You've got it precisely backwards. It is because the abortion issue is so weighty that it should be resolved according to the legal processes set out in the Constitution. Federalism, separation of powers, etc., aren't for the easy stuff. They exist to allow a large and diverse nation--full of people who have different values and often actively hate each other--to cohere as a single unit.

No other developed country has approached the abortion issue by saying "pfft the rules don't matter." The EU Court of Human Rights just last year refused to recognize a universal right to elective abortions. In every European country where abortion is legal, advocates of abortion made their case to the people, and the people decided whether to allow it and under what circumstances. In some cases it took a long time--Ireland legalized it just in 2018. But that's how civilized societies operate.

Your thinking is how third world countries operate. They say "lives are at stake" (or something similarly weighty) and use that to justify ignoring the legal process. As someone from one of those countries let me tell you that you do not want to go down that road. The rules are more important than anything else. They are more important than any individual lives. Because the rules are what make civilization possible. If you disregard the rules on issues that you deem sufficiently important to you, that frees the other side to ignore the rules on issues they deem sufficiently important to them, and it goes quickly downhill from there.

For a modern and non-British take on this genre I would strongly recommend The Tales of Pell by Kevin Hearne and Delilah S. Dawson, if anyone’s looking. It’s got that same vibe of absurdist humor with real life references in a fantasy setting. The politics are less about class and more about identity.

I created a burner Facebook account just to use Marketplace. On day 0 I'm told that I can't use Marketplace 'yet.' Every day for a few weeks I login and check and get the same message. Sometime at the 3-4 week mark I'm told I need to add a phone number or my account will be disabled. Back to craigslist/nextdoor/etc

Edit: My fault for using a loaded term like 'burner'. I don't have a facebook account. I created a 'real' account that I intended to use for marketplace. Apparently the lack of posting and/or lack of phone number is the issue facebook has, which is the issue I have with it.

>Tell that to China

China and the entirety of the EU are the only entities on the planet that could possible compete with "US Tech" and thus the only ones in a position to "go it alone" in order to accelerate a domestic tech industry.

>Of those companies

You're just asserting it is possible to cut all but Google. OK then.

>Why should we allow Facebook to operate on our country given that they hire from the CIA?

I don't know why you're asking HN why your country should make decisions.

I have given you a reason as to why they would make this decision -- access to US Tech. That's the benefit you get -- sounds like a Q for your own gov officials.
The grandparent made the broad generalization not the person you are replying to. They said the "west" is blocking RT. It might stun you to learn that the US is part of the west and isn't blocking RT. I don't want to stun you too much, but the west is not some uniform block of countries.

When you get back to NJ you can ask your boss to rectify the oversight and give you the credit you deserve. If he's a prick about it there is always the option of changing jobs and letting your boss take the blame for not being able to support the app that "he built." Life is too short for such drama and it makes for an interesting story at your next job interview as well as the exit interview (kinda like the time I answered "Because my boss was asking me to commit a felony" in reply to why I was looking for a different job...).
Note I specifically said "at our hands" to suggest exactly this. Nature gonna nature, agreed. What we're doing is different.
> The PS3s are the older, larger variety, since the newer slim models don't allow for the installation of Linux.

Big caveat there. Sony later removed the ability to install "OtherOS" (a.k.a. Linux or FreeBSD) on PS3s from those models. [0] I wonder if that firmware update basically neutered the supercomputer or if they were able to keep them from updating automatically.

Firstly, you're seeing some survivor bias here. As per this infamous quote - https://twistedsifter.files.wordpress.com/2018/02/febbie-dow... - most people don't recommend things randomly.

Secondly, there's another quote (that I can't find the source of) "when I share something, it is because I love my friends; not because I love your brand."

What does sharing my score of your game do to improve the lives of my friends?

Thirdly, you need large anchors. Most things which go viral are because someone "influential" started sharing it. More often than not that's a paid placement. Sometimes it is just asking your friends to share. Very rarely is it organic.

Finally, there's no science to this. If there was, large game studios would be consistently churning this stuff out.

The only way to be in the right place at the right time is to spend a lot of time in the wrong places.
The thing that killed craigslist was a bunch of startups that took it's ideas and charged 5% for the transaction and lip service about how it is safer than "other platforms" (other platforms being craigslist).

I'm not saying I don't believe you, I want to take everyone at their word... the problem is it seems like you can talk to different people and the experience is like night and day.

You're not the first person to bring up that their healthcare is awful, I see it often. I also see people saying its the best thing since sliced bread since its free and how thankful they are for it.

Its so hard to tell what is the truth because I could see both being true at the same time.

I try not to pry but personally, I do have a friend in Canada that their dad needs a life saving operation but just can't get one. I really don't know what that means. They say the appointment is too far out and it costs too much to get it done in the US or that they can't get approved or something. To me that just seems insane to the point where I must not be understanding correctly... but on the flip side, I see the same thing.

For instance, I had a European tell me they were thankful their general check up didn't cost $1k "like it does in the US" and for whatever reason they were adamant that a routine checkup costs $1k. It's just not true at all. I feel we all may just be extrapolating headlines lol.

One problem the advertising industry fails to understand is that an advertising agency, or whatever source the ads originate from, is a socioppath.

Developers are logical and practical thinkers and despise sociopathic behavior.

Developers have a very strong resistance to this sort of manipulation.

Advertisers are unable to cope with this reality or understand their true nature in our economy, so they continue to do more "research" on how to engage developers, who in turn, learn how to better detect and evade sociopaths

Im also very surprised that in 2022, there are developers that see ads at all, outside of glancing at some non technical person's youtube tab.There are browsers now that are completely ad free, even without add-ons or extensions. Ads are horribly toxic in nature and an offense to the human psyche and to any person's dignity.

Not always but it can happen.

Alternatively could a host allow you to check-in and then kick you out shortly afterwards ?

For example, on July 3 the the house cleaner for the AirBnB next door to my condo claimed they "kicked out" the guest on because they had more than 3(?) people over. When I asked her the eviction tactics she was vague and said "phone calls were made and AirBnB has a process". It seemed like a low bar to evict someone at a beach property during a holiday weekend and from my perspective those guests were just fine. Could a host just fabricate a violation such as "the neighbors are complaining about noise" and skip the $1000 fee ?
