It’s kind of interesting to remember that those 8-bit computers essentially booted up in a BASIC REPL. Starting an input line with an number was adding to your code, otherwise, whatever you typed would be executed immediately. I remember being confused about how Pascal worked because how did you input a program without line numbers? The whole concept of a programming editor was alien to me.
Assume for a moment that stocks are currently overvalued from a historical perspective. So it is better if they stay flat for a while and get back to normal valuations so when you buy them each month, they are not overvalued. If they were to go up in the next few years, they would become even more overvalued and you would be buying them at even more overvalued prices.

It can end badly even if they fill in the best case scenario. E.g. consider that hypothetical "can we talk?" after a massively successful project, and someone walking into the office having spent however long fantasising about spending a bonus that only existed in their head because the communication left room for it.

In some countries and contexts this is a possibility. It's not uncommon for countries to have a system where you essentially have to convince a human border guard that you are no threat with no clear guidelines. Having no phone or a phone with not enough data can be a problem in such a context.

The vast majority of border crossings across the world don't involve any questions about phones anyway, but if you are at the stage where they do the characteristics of your phone or lack thereof can piss off the person who determines whether you are allowed to enter. And if you are at that stage entry denial will probably not be solely based on your phone or lack thereof because there was probably a reason they starting asking about it in the first place.

These aren't purely hypothetical scenarios but real life examples of things that happened to people I know.
Previously in US News and World Report malfeasance: "Students Find Glaring Discrepancy in US News Rankings". Specifically about how they rate Reed College, my alma mater and a school that has famously opted out of participating in the ranking system for years. It looks like the report artificially punished Reed for that giving them a lower rating than their statistical model would have. It's very similar to what Columbia is reporting.

Yeah, fixed it in my comment - thanks!
Google Maps, Google Earth, Youtube, Android - all acquisitions.
Couldn't help but draw parallels to startups with "fake it till you make it" mentality. If you're Columbia, you might start off gaming a few metrics, hoping that as you rise in the rankings you attract better students, better instructors, more funding, thereby fulfilling the prophecy. Many startups do the same (pretend to have success with the hope that that will attract talent, funding, customers which then does lead to success).

Of course there's never an excuse for misleading people via outright fraud.
That’s something I’ve been thinking about. Doing a degree on Active Duty means a lot of late nights and weekends and no real time to explore anything not directly related to the degree.

Further, my son has cancer and autism and with the relative stability of my pension I have thought that I’d like to make the world a better place in some way that my experience can be leveraged.

Unfortunately that combination leaves me with little hope of being admitted to a more classical MA or PhD because I just didn’t do the coursework that is needed to apply and distinguish myself. Perhaps a terminal MA at a state school?

I’m in CA and can move to any school in the state; I can’t really leave the state for a few reasons to do with my sons care.

The fact they claim it’s the first open-source design tool demonstrates the ignorance they have for the craft. GIMP has been available as an open-source alternative to Adobe Photoshop for a while, supports more and popular programming languages, and yet, hasn’t supplanted Photoshop just because it is open source.

Penpot lacks the sophistication required from a design tool that’s difficult to notice if you’re not a designer working in these tools daily to do your job.

The open-source spirit for design isn’t unique to Penpot and won’t be enough to galvanize the design community into adopting it for everyday use. At best, it will be used by developers and product managers working on simple workflows for apps, but can’t withstand the demands required for designing sophisticated tools.
Agreed. Remember HN’s reaction to “I don’t care about cookies” extension being bought by Avast? or BitWarden’s sale and the many alternatives that people started sharing on HN? These kinda of reactions by HN are actually hypocritical tbh.
It seems clear to me that google simply doesn't track these kinds of requests in general. It's insanely wasteful to respond to "thousands" of ad-hoc access requests made through blog articles. Google has a lot of resources, yes, but that doesn't mean they're frivolous with them.

If they wanted to grant access to the scientific community, they'd just launch a closed beta with an official sign-up flow.
I guess it's a bit ambiguous which direction you mean, either way. Maybe "gave up stock in exchange for cash" or vice versa?

>Not everyone wants to spend their time on any of this. Some people want to go about their day as they please without having to deal with any of this.

That's nice? They can choose to try to do that, and in turn they may well get stepped on. There is a rest of the world out there, not just us as individuals. It doesn't always conform on its own to our wishes.

>That's the entire goal of having a society.

"Society" isn't magic that just happens on its own. It's made up of its people and their actions. If enough of its people don't actually take action, then "society" is going to reflect that too. Society creates more slack and wiggle room, and collective action can help shield individuals. You see that right here, society and law is why there is even an absolute right to return, why someone cannot simply be jailed indefinitely on a whim, etc, which in turn are foundational in making it much less costly to try to work for more. But if you merely want to free ride, well, it may or may not work out.

It's the YouTube algorithm.

Or so says Channel5 youtube channel with an interesting take on one of the drivers of the increased murder rates[0]

TLDW: Drill rap is a very aggressive style from the projects, the same ones Michelle Obama grew up in. A few of it's rappers got really famous and rich because a bunch people seemed to really like it and the atmosphere behind it. This atmosphere is known as Chiraq (pronounced 'Chai-rack', for CHIcago and iRAQ, and the dangerous nature of area). There are many people documenting the Chiraq scene. As many of the Drill rappers produced music to YouTube, the algorithm caught hold. Viewers seemed to watch the more aggressive videos, commentary, and dis-tracks. Rappers saw this and produced even more aggressive and violent content. Quickly, content about murder and the like became top hits. Rappers found that hyper-violence got big views and therefore money and fame. YouTube, in a small way, incentivized the murder rate to rise, or so is alluded to in Channel5's video.

After that they go to a White Sox game and talk about flat-earth and condoms.

I like this list, I like that Sketch is #2, and #1 is an OSS self-hostable solution, https://penpot.app/ -- https://github.com/penpot so we can't quite get burned like we did with Figma.

From some cursory review, it seems pretty good! And there's now effort underway to be able to import Figma files.

edit: okay, I've gotten signed up with penpot, made rudimentary sketches, it seems solid and promising. I'm now a fan and I think this seals the deal for me, I'm glad that it was an easy decision. And I will give them the benefit of the doubt when it's not exactly up to par because 1) they seem to be new and characterize themselves as still being in beta and 2) it's self-hostable OSS and the inherent security of this offering is something I value deeply.
Exceptionally cool, thanks! I was about to ask if anyone had app recommendations but I just added your site as a PWA. Works great!
It's not with me, but I have a very fat book about relays.

One of the big points very often missed is that, depending on contact material, relays can have a minimum current rating, which can get you in trouble when using a contact to switch a PLC input for example. This to ensure the tarnish gets wiped.

You can get around this by using gold flashing, but this is also extremely easy to burn off with unexpected over-current, eg capacitive or inductive switching, which can result from just a cable run.

There are also recommendations for things like contacts that are open but wetted with DC for long periods of time, like some protection circuits, eg contact material and which face should be more negative/positive.

The optimum DC control voltage is 48VDC, but it is not the most practical due to availability.

Look around at metal specific industry groups that often publish highly specific useful material, eg Copper Development Association and same for Silver, MIL specs.

I have found you pick up bits and pieces over the years and you just have to build up your personal library over time.

Final one, not metallurgy but depending on your industry might save you one day, dangers of AC control voltages with distance.

I was working for a major tech company—definitely not a startup during dot-comb. I had some amount of vested shares which seemed a lot at the time. I spent some but held onto a few tens of K$. Stock went down from over $100 at peak to about $4. By years later had recovered to about $25–and then Dell acquired for a premium.
They donated the company, they didn't sell it. That means they would have never paid 875M in taxes since a donation means they don't receive the underlying investment gains as they would have if it were a sale. His family is left only with voting rights, not equity.

Yeah, that's definitely a concern! The datasheets gives an example of serial communication and recommends using non-standard baud-rates to avoid this problem. It's not perfect, but my point was it's not just another MCU, there is actually some hardware that makes it somewhat unique.

You can also adjust the system clock if you're desperate, though I'm not sure if that would entirely eliminate jitter (I haven't tried it)

Has anyone ever claimed that if it compiled and ran in rust that it was logically correct? I've never seen anyone claim that and would call anyone who did an idiot. People do say it will tend to have fewer memory and programming errors out of the chute than c or c++ though given similarly experienced programmer because the compiler is much stricter.

That seems a bit subjective. I don't know about you, but > 99% of the time someone at work asks me "Got a sec?", "You busy?", it's because they need me for something that isn't urgent. I think I can count on one hand the number of times someone has asked "Can you talk?" and then chewed me out or given me bad news about my job.

The anxiety I don't feel is a learned response to the situations I've encountered.
Shipping 1 parcel for $200 in 2022, is the same earnings as shipping 2 parcels for $100 pre-covid.

This is what's happening in the economy. The total number of transactions of goods and services have been dropping. But those few transactions are priced higher than pre-covid. So it "appears" that earnings are high. Companies have been sabotaging themselves by increasing prices so much that their number of customers are dropping fast.

> in depth course that started right from the foundations—implementing and GPU-optimising matrix multiplications and initialisations—and covered from scratch implementations of all the key applications of the fastai library.

I haven't taken the course, but that sounds like a horrible place to start a course on understanding deep learning. GPU matrix operations are literally an implementation detail.

I think the proper way to teach deep learning "from scratch" would be:

1.) show simple example of regression using high level library

2.) implement same regression by writing a simple neutral network from scratch (explain going through, multiplying weights, adding biases, applying activation function, calculating loss, back propagation).

3. use NN on more complicated problem with more parameters and a larger training set, so that user sees they've hit a wall in performance, and now implementation needs to be optimized

4. at this point, say okay, our implementation of looping and multiplying can be done much faster with matrix multiplication on GPU, and even faster parallelized across GPUs on a network. If you're interested in that, here is an optional fork in the course that gets into specifics. Anything after this point will assume that implementation of NN calls will be using these techniques under the hood

5. move onto classification, q learning, GANs, transformers.

95% should have skipped step 4 and only revisited if they become interested in this for a specific reason. To start with it is crazy. It's like starting a course about flying by explaining how certain composites allowed us to transition from propellers to jets, and let's dive into how those composites are made.
Kindelia is a p2p decentralized computer I'm building. It is essentially a massively distilled version of Ethereum. It is massively simpler (<10k LOC), more efficient (up to 867x more SSTORE/second under the same usage level), and secure (since it supports Agda, Lean, Kind and other proof languages natively). It is completely decentralized, there is no pre-mine (in fact, there isn't even a currency). My post was 100% respectful and fair, I was just explaining the tech, no ads, no sales. I was banned because I posted a new tech.
