Well, typically open book tests are designed with that ability to search in mind, so the problems are much harder and designed to test understanding rather than memorization. They often are also much longer, so you cannot just search for everything and still get a full score.
To quantify this: a 4k 60Hz uncompressed video stream needs approximately one lane of PCIe gen4 (though only in one direction, while PCIe has the bandwidth in both directions). So any realistically obtainable resolution and refresh rate will not be a problem for sharing the framebuffer on a GPU with PCIe gen4 x16, but lower-end GPUs often have just x8 and there are even some mobile GPUs with x4 being packaged onto desktop graphics cards now.
By my back of the envelope calculations the city bureaucracy absorbed in salaries and benefits at least 40% of the +110% increase in city budget between 2008 and 2021. That's even before considering the welfare-industrial complex.

Ain't it cloud scale? Have you tried moving it to serverless?
Cheating is a separate problem in this case.

Moving to open book or project model isn't to eliminate cheating (and can't), it's to adapt tests and grading to modern reality.

Bonus if it makes cheating harder.
PCIe already is a packet-switched network, but the big and fast switches are very expensive.

This shouldn't be surprising. The purpose of most bots are to blend into normal populations. Which is why the most followed accounts by bots are like... Obama or Lady Gaga.

"We're forever scarred by the Vietnam War, and the lies "

https://digitalcommons.library.umaine.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cg...

I wasn't born during the vietnam war but there was an article that I read recently on how the media deceived the public about deaths and "trust in american media was lost permanently"

The propaganda in this war from all three sides is exceedingly high. We will find out the US propaganda in 10 years or so.
I open and close one or two times per day. Might have a dozen+ open at once, not a huge number.
I view the Shannon algo going long dollar or long on a stock as a form of martingale, which is open for debate, but I was actually asking because I got slightly obsessed with disproving that it worked IRL, and started just messing with it, which got way past that and ended with me building my own model... and it seems to have interesting similarities to yours (superficially, at least). I've only recently put into practice. Purely because of my own risk tolerance, it's also long term, not intra-day, also not leveraged, and also only going long. One choice I made (for aesthetic reasons?) was to not use big data or anything beyond basic price histories, and to not use a neural net. I wanted something with simple, reproducible signal rules a human can understand, even at the expense of profit. I ran it through my own symbolic regression platform just to validate that I was onto something. I thought about posting it here and/or making it a paid service but it seemed to me (as someone said) that if anything like this makes enough money I wouldn't need to sell it, and would be better keeping it secret... plus I used to run a sports betting analysis site that was too much trouble and made me feel bad when predictions were off. As it is now, I'll only have to apologize to a couple of friends on a private email chain. Officially the target is 20% over S&P per year, but unofficially the results I'm seeing in the sim are 100% to 1500%.

I saw something it doesn't appear is present in your models, and I extrapolated from it into a program that chases that thing. Nonetheless it definitely seems like we've worked in a similar direction, as one potential application of my model is a simple long stock vs dollar trigger. And you've probably gleaned other insights I haven't. Offhand, would you be open to getting in touch and swapping strategies / pitfalls?
Thanks for the input. I will reach out to you in a day or so. :)
If you are willing to accept the various caveats that come with -ffast-math for your own library, then it looks like it's okay to use -ffast-math during compilation, but not during linking (because it links in crtfastmath.so, as the author points out).

Your own compiled library functions will use the optimizations, but won't force the weird FPU register modes on the rest of the process.
Thanks for the benefit of doubt, 'hoo!
In practice, it may be much easier to write a malloy query than the equivalent sql query.
Completely agree. I'd always be open to typing a lot more if it meant reading that code back will be obvious later. The true test is whether someone who knows the language but not the framework can read a piece of code and roughly understand what it does. Looks like Preact Signals utterly fails this test and that makes me sad.
"FMA also only increases numerical accuracy, it doesn't decrease numerical accuracy". This strictly speaking isn't true. For example, xx-yy will sometimes be more accurate than fma(x,x, -y*y) (e.g. if x==y). That said, I agree that fma is different from the rest in that it will on average, usually, increase accuracy.
Somehow, lisp ends up being really slow. so it's doing something else wrong.

No. You made the claim here, not me. I understand you would now like to change the subject to something you feel more prepared to debate, but I am not obliged to cooperate by allowing you to drag me into a tangent.
The "uptime guarantees" are actually incredibly lax. As long as you have over 50% uptime, you make money staking.

Stefan Karpinski (one of the core Julia contributors) gave a talk (in 2016, so rather dated as far as the Julia syntax and whatnot go) about how Julia is secretly more lisp-y than even lisp & Scheme. The core of this argument is that most language specifications dedicate many pages to defining how arithmetic works, whereas Julia is actually just able to define that in Julia code as part of the stdlib (the implementation just calls out to LLVM intrinsics, but nonetheless, super neat!). `Int64` is actually defined in a Julia file.

Its kind of vague but I for one feel like I am relying on a lot of know how and relationships from before WFH. Things like being able to lean over to the person next to you and getting a sense of what they would do. I mean I can now effectively simulate what that person would say from long experience, which is what allows WFH, but if I started post WFH I would have no idea how to do a lot of things.
"The balanced category contained 3.04% of accounts, showing that accounts exhibiting mixed behaviour are present in the dataset."

This set of accounts is actually the most interesting to me. The Pro-either-side bots are going to be relatively easy to attribute, and if you are following the war closely you can have a very good guess as to which propaganda narratives they are going to magnify (and therefore predict their content).

The 3.04% accounts may be trying to build a online profile that is more "trustworthy" so that it can be used later, may be trying to counter disinformation (as opposed to "counter disinformation with disinformation" - which is almost always what it means when you hear politicians talk about it), or may be trying to do something subtle and specific. It's also much harder to attribute.
The discourse on this site has gone down the drain.

What a low effort comment. This thread is just riddled with them from people who seem too angry to form a rational thought.
Apple Ordered to Stop iPhone Sales Without Charger in Brazil
>Why wouldn't we want to be able to [run interactive apps] web with our devices?

Because the web is for hypertext, which means static content. Images, text, video and audio clips, tables, code snippets, etc. Of course even that subset it does unimaginably bad, okay? Interactive web apps fucking suck, so that takes care of that 50%. For the other 50%, which is document viewing, why in the hell would I want pages to be able to move stuff around and create their own custom UIs and color schemes for every document I view? That use case is for magazines, a content-free medium. It's actually hilarious how people think hosting their library documentation on some stupid website like readthedocs.io, or publishing scientific journals behind IP blocklists (aka misconfigured bullshit from some charlatan sysadmin) is "progress".

Excellent tips! Some observations as someone whose role entails lots of public speaking, and the driver of a presentation training initiative for technical professionals at my org:

It's strangely embedded deep into his notes and presentation, but preparation is crucial. Practice your talk in front of others, as the author says, or at least rehearse it out loud to yourself. A big mistake I've seen technical professionals make is over-focusing on the content, structure, and detail, and leaving too little time/energy to actually practice their talk. I guarantee you'll find something to fix / add / remove when you hear your presentation out loud. Bonus points if you actually record yourself practicing and review it afterward. This is THE single best bang-for-your-buck practice for improving your presentation skills.

He's right about evaluations. You almost always receive contradictory feedback. A few weeks back I read the evals after running a workshop. One person said (paraphrasing) it was "too long, maybe shorten from 2 hours to just 1." Another said "too short, this could easily have been 4-6 hours." Other examples abound. The reason one person enjoys your presentation might be the exact reason someone else hates it.

Sure, some presenters are too slow. But many - especially inexperienced or nervous presenters - rush through their talk at breakneck speed. Both are equally sinful. If you have a tendency to rush, practice pausing periodically and don't litter the empty space with filler words ("uh," "so," "y'know," etc.). Embrace the silence. Audiences interpret that comfort with silence as authoritative, not incompetent.

Plant a friend in the front row so you can look at them and see a friendly face? I can see people misinterpreting this advice to mean "just stare at your friendly-looking friend for your whole presentation." Maybe it'll help for your first few talks, but it could become a bit of a crutch. Scan the room and address individual attendees as if you're having a conversation with them directly. Watch for their reactions (or lack thereof). Expect people to look annoyed, bored, etc. If you expect it, it's less likely to throw you off. More often than not, that's just how their face looks.

He's right about "geeks" reacting adversely to suits. I wore a suit to run something for our technology group's leadership team, and within the first five minutes they were busting me about it. Know your audience. That includes knowing what manner of dress they expect, but also what they might know/don't know about your topic, why they might care, etc.
Maybe KK just worked out how to "hack" the American dream.

I suppose, as long as you use locked down software and hardware. But you will be usually be able to reverse-engineer whatever heuristic they use.

>Other tech is meant to leave a trail leading back to forgers, a bit like a DVD ripping software embedding your MAC/IP information in any Mp3 it generates.

It is simple: rip the media multiple times with different identifying information, and then analyze the diffs (or just take the average). You cannot hide the existence of steganographic data if there are multiple copies with different steganographic data. It is not like analog where a loss of precision is justifiable
Don't underestimate the possibility of a death spiral. It's already happened once. Read Gray Brechin's excellent book Imperial San Francisco. SF used to be the undisputed capital of the entire North American West Coast, and arguably even the entire Pacific. In the aftermath of the 1906 earthquake, it lost that position to LA.

I lived in SF for 19 years, moved to London (family reasons, elderly parents with health issues) and are planning to return to the US. My wife put an absolute veto on returning to SF itself because of how dire the law and order situation has become.

Sad to say, but the city really needs a 1990s vintage Rudy Giuliani to clean house. Otherwise what it will get is Bernie Goetz (yes, I know, I am showing my age with my references). It seems unthinkable today, but in the 1950s and 60s SF was actually a fairly right-wing city, all mayors from 1912 to 1964 were Republicans.
Funny you should say that... my entire career has been built on embedded Android and I've built a lot of images from "scratch" (or as close as you get with random SoC supplier provided garbage tacked on)

The first time I built an AOSP image from scratch was on some dinky office workstation that had been freshly upgraded with a whopping 16GBs so you wouldn't come back in the next morning to a random OOM

These days I get to open a PR and some random monster of a machine on a build farm does the heavy lifting, but I can still say from a lot of experience that 64GB is truly more than plenty for Android OS builds and definitely won't be what keeps you from doing other stuff... IO and CPU usage might make it an interesting proposition, but not RAM.

When Google says 64GB it's for the whole machine: the build process will use a lot of it when configured properly, but not so much that you can't run anything else

(Also again, Android builds are a perfect example of where a remote machine pays off in spades. The spin up is such a small fraction of what's needed you don't have to start messing with containerization if you don't want to, and you can get access to some insanely large instance for a few hours then stop paying for it as soon as it's done.

It just seems unlikely to have a task that warrants that much RAM that isn't just about throwing resources at an otherwise "stateless" task that's a great match for cloud compute)

There was a guy who sealed himself in a "greenhouse" full of trees, he was trying to produce as much oxygen as he consumed, as well as scrub as much CO2 as he exhaled. It turned out he still didn't have enough oxygen/CO2 scrubbing, but it was enough to slow down his asphyxiation for a couple days or so. Unfortunately I can't find the YouTube video at the moment, but based on that video, I don't even think "10 trees worth of oxygen" is enough for an Astronaut.

You’ve basically presupposed your conclusions re: the reactive approach, so yeah, if I were you I wouldn’t bother.

Incidentally the “rules of hooks” are frustrating precisely because the expectations they impose around hook use are confusing and unintuitive.
Yeah, Julia has this also (via a @fastmath macro). It's incredibly nice to be able to apply it safely.

Probably because the people pushing for free college etc tend to be ones studying the humanities, which gives people a bad impression of the whole thing. People make fun of Fox News touting lesbian dance studies majors, but the reality is most people don't support funding your bullshit gender studies degree with their tax dollars.

> the AMA agrees there is a problem and is onboard with expanding the pipeline

Oh come on, they could start by accepting everyone with a 3.5+ and decent MCAT instead of requiring that you have a 3.95, volunteering experience, clinical experience, and near perfect MCATs. The path is unattractive because it's filled with bullshit requirements that don't matter.

On top of this most med schools discriminate against their largest pool of potential top students: Asians. It's well known if you're Asian you need much higher MCATs and GPA to get into med school. How many people have been pushed out of considering medicine because of this?
This is a really good point that I've never heard said exactly this way.

I paticuarly like the framing of responsibility.

In modern societies we have pretty fine grained tools for chopping up risk, selling it, trading it, via financial instruments or insurance. In fact when you use these tools sometimes the goal is to vanish the risk all together (which as a result sometimes creates counter-party risk).

Likewise we have a whole cottage industry of chopping up and trading responsibility with very similar mappings to risk. In fact in many ways responsibility is treated more or less like risk itself.

How many problems today though could you follow the thread back to people creating the responsibility equivalent of CDOs.
Much of the current failures are due to conservative provincial governments (looking at you, Ontario...) purposely underfunding before and into the pandemic.

We are now reaping what they have sown.

This is a classic "underfund to prove the system doesn't work thus we must privatize it!" move.
Which Lisp? What applications do you think it is slow at? Hint: It can be faster than C due to compiler macros, and infact, its regular expression engine is much faster than Perl's, which is written in C, just to give a concrete example.
One point regarding slots on a motherboard though is space. There is only so much 2D space on a board. When adding in M.2 slots the PCIe slots immediately took a hit.

For me, I like the M.2 slot on the back of the board. I'd like it more if it were a standard so case makers can assure access.

Also, I understand it might be a bit fragile but is there any reason why M.2 slots can't stick straight up and out of the motherboard? Maybe with some support around whatever you plugin. Sticking straight up and out would provide all around cooling for the stick of whatever AND save motherboard 2D space.

I'd recommend finding an instructor who can be a true mentor, shop around. Put off buying a horse until you can afford to actually own land. Being a rider and an owner are different things. I don't know the natural horsemanship / western scene at all, but if you find someone with a good rep in the classical school in your area, you're probably in good hands. The training systems are for producing interchangeable sport animals, which makes them fit for purpose, but if you are more philosophical, see if you can find someone who trained with or whose trainer studied under Oliviera or Schultheis or is connected to one of the 4 schools (quatre l'ecole equestre). If they are within a couple degrees of separation, that's a good foundation, then you can get a sport coach to develop you personally. Of course, you could just do it for fun and find joy in whatever you do, which is what a normal and reasonable person would do, and giving a good life to an animal is the most noble thing of all, but in the spirit of HN deep nerd, these are the hardest paths. Apprenticeship takes a decade at least, and failing means you just get to begin to appreciate what these people and horses do. The olympics and competition are absolutely worthy of total respect, but in the same vein, judged gamesmanship isn't philosophy either. That's easy to say, and yet more words from people who haven't competed, and arguably opinions are what one has when one doesn't have medals, but these are the converstions of the people in the arena. It's an addiction only death or poverty can cure, so be warned. But otherwise, it's a lifelong journey. Good luck. :)

Does audio DRM really exist? CDs were sold without any DRM and you can buy DRM free songs from the likes of itunes and amazon. Itunes used to have DRM but dropped it years ago; afaik songs bought from amazon never had DRM.
