The most effective way is to be active in communities for the thing you want to be doing. Get a reputation as one of the people who know what they're doing. Eventually others will start reaching out to you privately when their companies are looking for new hires. If you get your foot in the door this way, your location becomes mostly irrelevant.

Sounds unusual, but I've previously gotten very well paid jobs in multiple startups through this kind of personal networking - you even get to skip most of the interview process. Meanwhile everything I applied to without any connections has been a wash.

Negotiations are much easier if you can deal with working as a US contractor, dropping most of your employment protection laws for more money.
This. Pichai doesn't need to cut the perks/ travel expenses and freeze hiring. He just wants to. It's a weird power play.
It will be general stuff like working well with people or being good at breaking down technical problems, not specific tools or specific domains of software development - 2050 is too far away for us to guess what people will be working on and with what tools.
Does it run on a GPU now?
weights are just compressions of the training set. The reason hardware improvements have improved ML is just because we're compressing the training set to larger sizes.

Going eg., from 100TB training to 300BB weights. The process of training is more-or-less just "building a search index", and prediction is little more than "looking up examples in the search index and combining".
The list is itself very focused on software making. How about mentioning some end-user software as well? Otherwise it makes it sound as though software development is purely an end in itself. Why be grateful for gcc, the Go compiler or SQLite if not for the software that they enable to exist?
Ahh ok. In our case all the machine have a shared network filesystem where we store the mirror.

Great about the extras.

Would you mind if we reference each other in the readmes?
From the big picture perspective school should then work to eliminate those, not to propagate (teach) them.
>So what exactly did we lose? It's quite simple: by moving software into the cloud and turning them into web-based SaaS offerings, many of the basic affordances that used to be standard have gotten watered down or removed entirely. Here are some examples:

>Menus let you cross over empty space and other menu items, instead of strictly enforcing hover rectangles.

I know the guy, Frank Leahy, who implemented that feature invented by Bruce "Tog" Tognazzini.

When he was at Apple, he rewrote the Menu Manager for Mac SE and Mac II.

We were working together on a project at Current TV, and reminiscing about how great the original Apple Human Interface guidelines were, and how Apple had totally lost their original devotion to excellent user interface design, and I mentioned how the original edition of the Apple HIG book I had actually illustrated, documented, and justified that subtle feature.

Frank proudly told me he was the one who implemented it for the Menu Manager, and that he was touched that somebody actually noticed and appreciated it as much as I did.

>The comments are actually great -- even Tog weighs in! It also mentions Frank Lehey, who rewrote the Menu Manager for Mac SE and Mac II.

>Jake Smith • 5 years ago This was first implemented by Apple's HID team back in the 80s, specifically Bruce Tognazzini, I believe.

>Bruce "Tog" Tognazzini Jake Smith • 5 years ago Yes, I did invent it back in 1986 and it is firmly in the public domain. From what I remember, it was Jim Batson who worked out the math and coded it for the Mac OS. The OS X team later failed to copy the algorithm, so I am happy to see that amazon has resurrected it.

>Josh Davenport Jake Smith • 5 years ago I think it was yes. It looks like it was originally implemented by NeXT and then removed by Apple when they bought NeXT. Tog himself talks about what happened here: https://www.asktog.com/columns/022DesignedToGiveFitts.html in the answer to question 6 - "When I specified the Mac hierarchical menu algorthm in the mid-'80s, I called for a buffer zone shaped like a <, so that users could make an increasingly-greater error as they neared the hierarchical without fear of jumping to an unwanted menu...........Sadly, the NeXT folks, when coming to Apple, copied Windows, rather than the Mac"

>markr_7 • 5 years ago Can't comment on the HID team, Bruce, or possibly the many times it was even implemented at Apple, but as a young developer at Apple in the 80s, I remember stopping by Frank Leahy's office as he was tweaking his code to get menus to "work right." I've often recalled the experience because of the time he was spending to get it right, and how the behavior wasn't simple once you started really trying to meet a users expectations. If I remember right it wasn't just the direction, but also time and therefore velocity. For example, you wouldn't want to stick with the wrong menu if the user wasn't really moving with purpose in the direction of the sub-menu.
Online retailing delivers a public health problem
My point is a few instances of reality confirming our prejudices is not the basis for explanation. This is something we've already discovered, it's called "the scientific method", and its wholey absent from ML.
I can never find the back button on iOS.
You do want to change the MD5 of the manifest. This is what makes it a collision attack instead of a preimage attack.
ISO26262 qualified rustc for critical systems
Maybe the cpu was more powerful (honestly idk) but the low memory of the N64 limited the textures and video features (never saw any video in an N64 game) in the games (see how flat texture-wise the textures of Mario64 are).
GPT3 works only on text, both input and output. A system thus constrained, solely by virtue of that fact, is by definition not an AGI.
"Companies with expensive tools have an obvious interest in convincing their best customers that the competition in inherently risky."

The problem is that they don't need to do this. In the open source community we're doing a great job all by ourselves. I've written open source libraries and platforms, I've also written proprietary software that uses open source. Log4j, Heartbleed, half of NPM etc weren't the work of Oracle lobbyists, they were avoidable fuckups caused by everyone relying on critical infrastructure that wasn't really maintained.

I'd actually go further and say you overestimate the power of lobbying and underestimate the possibility of lobbyist's having a point. The primary argument these firms made against relying on OSS was that it's often just a bunch of random people with no incentive to do the un-fun work like security audits or patch backports. There's nobody who takes responsibility for things. That's true and is pretty much the core of Red Hat's business model so it's not like anyone can really dispute this.

The software industry does need new approaches to how we use open source stuff, IMO. Sandboxing of libraries would go a long way. But we can't just pretend there's no problem here and it's all the work of shadowy corporations, it's naive ideological stuff.
For ECUs running the car it's MISRA still, Rust is in the pipeline, but still far far away. 5-10 years before it becomes common. Standard is being worked on, but compilers and other tools will take a lot more time. These are generally not your of the shelf MCUs, and for many compilers are quite tailored.

But for anything regarding networking and UX (screens), a lot of languages and frameworks are being used right now.

Also, if you hate MISRA subset of C so much, you probably won't like Rust, since both impose some similar rules.
React turns 10 soon.
I love Volvo cars. I hope they have enough investment in support and engineering, because Rust isn't an easy language to pick up. I wouldn't want to escalate minor software problems through the management that needs engineering team's response and I'm waiting because there is not enough people to support across continents.
Read the article more carefully. Their hugely customized "gun" was only capable of 1 shot every 2 or 3 minutes (to limit heating and thermal expansion ). They had 5 spotters near the target, watching where every individual bullet landed. (Then reporting back to the shooter, so he(?) could make little adjustments.) And it sure looks like an amateur group of "extreme" performance enthusiasts - so who would pay for the collection of a large (say, n=25,000) data set? From a quick web search, just the ammunition (.416 Barrett) would cost ~$400,000. The barrel of their extreme-performance "gun" might need replacing a dozen times or more, and...
Half of all the fighting is Internet propaganda.
The fact that they're even spelling this out means it's going to be reversed soonish. Fortunately Firefox (or at least the original iisdea of a lightweight free-as-in-freedom browser) is ready for another fork.
All those security features with 0 privacy. Refer: https://www.scss.tcd.ie/Doug.Leith/pubs/browser_privacy.pdf

The research concluded that Microsoft Edge is the most invasive, along with Yandex.
Wait, why would the unit pull fresh outside air in? Shouldn't the ratio of recirculation be adjustable?
How well does GPT-3 perform on standard IQ tests?
Excellent breakdown.
the thing that's been driving me crazy lately is that they got rid of the undo history for the search bar. if you submit a search, it resets the undo history to be more specific. I expect by now so few people use the search bar that this is probably not going to be fixed any time soon, sadly.
indeed, and i agree - what i'm saying is that even today, the rasterization of triangles is still 2D :) (and necessarily will always be! well, as long as we use 2D displays..)
I doubt it, since this is an API, and not a visible difference. Seems that changes like that are mostly targeted at the UI.
Funny how reactive seems recent for people, while dataflow / dag based visuals are old in the movie/cgi industry :)

It always pains me to remember a p2 cpu could do realtime nurbs procedural animation (very complex) and yet we still have manual state machines for simpler tasks like documents / filesystems etc

This article is right that there's a lot to gain in terms of ergonomics by finding leaner ways. I also think the web stack and dev culture is ready to respond well to this idea.
I moved away from Windows for the same reason. Edge is a highly anti-competitive and privacy invasive browser. I'm surprised people don't care as long as the data exploitation is not directly visible to them.

Not to mention their new loan scams. Edge is a spyware/adware first and browser second.
passing the blame to the party that was in power 7 years ago, for allowing this to become law, vs blaming the current regime that’s unloading SPR to China… an expected coping mechanism from the modern democrat
Would filter out trust, crust, …
Right, oil is fungible (well almost - there are different grades).

But a barrel is a barrel is a barrel, anywhere in the world.

So if we sell to France and Russia sells to China, it's no different than if we sell to China and Russia sells to France -> the "same" oil ends up in the same place and the same money ends up in the same place.
Seriously, are the Russians any worse than the US here?

I doubt they've got anything like the same level of access to the low level infrastructure (at least outside their borders) and they won't have anything like the budget to sweep up absolutely everything.
I think plastics main selling point is not its longevity, but the possibility to easily form objects of many shapes.

What makes you believe "rot like paper" is more appropriate than "rot like wood"?
I second to that. Just got same model installed few weeks ago and was having exact same thoughts. However, now I start to think that devil is in the details (as always). And it has ton of details, which probably have cost thousands on people hours to design, test and implement. Most are related to how to make it work with maximum efficiency while consuming as little power as possible, some are safety related, etc etc. And the build quality is outstanding, it works flawlessly so far, no complaints. Despite the steep price, one of the best investments I have made recently.
Change it to what? A specific pre-determined value? That's a preimage.
Then why don’t they articulate this to us? Seems more like they are finding any way possible to mask the economic pain we are facing. Print money, fire-sale our assets, borrow more. Anything to push out the day of reckoning and ensure that the music stops under someone else’s watch.
But I’ve been a Linode customer for years so this doesn’t make sense in my case.
I think that's a good indication that the reason Rust has become relatively popular is more likely to be its status as the new cool thing rather than anyone actually caring about safety and correctness.
Brave has 55 million MAU. That is huge for a browser that's just 3 years old.
If they didn't spell this out loudly, people would accuse them being silent and waiting for the day to silently pull the plug, then.

With your point of view, there's no way to tell the truth.
A dev/engineer who spends time to whine on internet about a product because of a specific issue while he has not spent a second to investigate the root cause of the issue needs to take a lesson.
What would you think about someone who wrote an article stating that "Ford is gonna die soon because it took 5 minutes to start my car this morning and I have strictly no idea why" ? I guess you would think this person is somehow not very smart...
Russia has the https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Krasnopol_(weapon_system), which is quite comparable and was used in the war already.

Strongly disagree about tactical nuclear weapons; I consider it extremely unlikely that these will be ever used by anyone- way to much escalation for very little gain.
Russia is likely selling to China below cost, so nah.
I would say:

A) PouchDB, Couchbase, Firebase, Realm are all databases that can sync to a "master" node in the cloud.

B) AODV and BATMAN are really an ad-hoc mesh networking and routing protocol.

Ditto is both A and B. You work with Ditto as a database on your mobile, IoT, web app with common database functions (querying, updating, deleting etc...) and we will sync the changes between edge and cloud devices. Most developers cannot sensibly use AODV and BATMAN to build robust collaborative applications, it's too hard. We abstract all of the routing, network resiliency, and replication away from you; just work with the database
That it’s a bug and should be fixed with a upgrade, but it hasn’t been fixed yet.
The trick was diversity. GPT-3 trained on so many tasks it can understand zero shot ones like pathfinding, even when formulated in completely different terms.
I don't know if it's the whole new generation or only the web/nerdy part of it.
You can actually run non-GC languages on the JVM because it does expose a manual memory allocator. That's how the WASM and LLVM support work. In that case the GC gets out of the way (or is used only for Java objects). Of course in that case a lot of the benefits of the JVM aren't there, but if you need to do JIT compilation+manual memory management then it can make sense.

The real question I think is, if it weren't for particular technical choices by the browser people, would anyone care about JIT compiling C? Probably not. We know how to sandbox C/C++/Rust without a JITC, nacl and other initiatives have proved that. Portability, so what - there's really two CPU archs that matter and new ones don't come along very often. Cross compilers work. The GraalVM guys have found a good reason to JITC of C for language interop and interpreter extensions but that's pretty special case.
Let's give that sentence to AI and see what image it produces
In general you can convert any speaker layout etc to Ambisonics. For Atmos specifically, no, because there is no software decoder available for it (you have to bitstream it to a receiver).
That would be frustrating. Unless the matching is made case-sensitive, which would probably be a good idea when trying to filter out a proper name.
Thank you! After feedback from a lot of our customers, they want more access to explicit types so you'll see a lot more APIs to control how you want conflict resolution.
Yikes, take a look at the funding of factcheck.org.

Is Zuckerberg trying to buy indulgences?
i know that we're all sure that even if mozilla reverses this decision, we'll have good forks... but, we neeed to be sure to have them on our side... open internet needs people like mozilla
Maybe and maybe another hacks and also not compiled support for 486 cpus.
This hack is invoked only on CPUs, which doesn't support cmpxchg instruction.
For example, 486 DLC from Cyrix is basically 386 with i486 instruction set but I'm not able to boot linux for 486 machines.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cyrix_Cx486DLC
But gray386 runs perfectly on 486 DLC without hack involved.
Can we eat the mushrooms afterwards? Would be great if we could indirectly eat plastic waste, during these hard times.
Even with this spoiler I didn’t understand it, but then I read https://twitter.com/mikko/status/1383390503635324928?lang=en and then I understood.
The other things is with software being online they are
more than happy move and change things around so you have to keep relearning the app. Jira is terrible for this, so is Azure.
Recently scrolling through a list of countries to choose 'United Kingdom' I eventually found it under 'G'. The nearest I can figure, it was previously for 'Great Britain' and was never re-sorted? (Never mind that nobody in the UK has called it Great Britain since maybe mid 20th century!)
It is hard to help you, because we don't know your situation.

Do you have adult "summer camps" (not always in summer) in your country? I know that when i feel a bit lonely, i take a week of to either learn a new sport or improve at one i like at those camps, once or twice a year. It's great to meet interesting people.
What do you mean "overpay"? It's a global market with a spot price?

Buying the dip would be a cost effective way of maintaining our insurance policy. Buy low, sell high. We had saved cheap oil for a hurricane and released them for a light drizzle in order to try to cap gas price increases, which have more than doubled from one president to the next.
I have been doing a ton of research on building my own GSHP lately and so this is a great resource!

However, what I have found in the process is that for well insulated homes GSHP probably doesn’t make sense.

Originally I was considering buying a kit from this site: https://www.123zeroenergy.com/pricing/geo-thermal.html

But like it says on the page, because air source heat pumps have been getting a lot better they no longer sell the kits. There are a couple of individuals on YouTube who have used similar GSHP kits and had good success. The main challenge is that you need to dig 100ft of deep trenches per ton of cooling.
Edit: should be 300ft not 100
I've read an absolutely minimal amount of Borges' work, but all that I've read has been so memorable and insightful as to change my worldview to some extent.

Borges' on taxonomy:
https://www.liquisearch.com/celestial_emporium_of_benevolent...

Borges' on "the map is (not) the terrain" (pasted in its entirety):

In that Empire, the Art of Cartography attained such Perfection that the map of a single Province occupied the entirety of a City, and the map of the Empire, the entirety of a Province. In time, those Unconscionable Maps no longer satisfied, and the Cartographers Guilds struck a Map of the Empire whose size was that of the Empire, and which coincided point for point with it. The following Generations, who were not so fond of the Study of Cartography as their Forebears had been, saw that that vast map was Useless, and not without some Pitilessness was it, that they delivered it up to the Inclemencies of Sun and Winters. In the Deserts of the West, still today, there are Tattered Ruins of that Map, inhabited by Animals and Beggars; in all the Land there is no other Relic of the Disciplines of Geography.

Do how in 25 years have we not managed to quash this class of bugs? (Where a simple task needs to be done at a certain time, and gets delayed).
99% of US companies with EU offices will NOT pay you anywhere close to the US level of money, IIRC the offer I received from Atlassian in Poland some years ago was not even competitive with the local market.
Even on non-pvp servers one had to watch out as more powerful users were luring monsters and blocking people to get killed.

Cipsoft made adjustments so you could not lure monsters too far but it was not fun to bump into much stronger monster.
Was there a reason originally that sound was not implemented? For the players here, what did you do instead? Did you have a "Tibia playlist" in winamp or similar?
It's actually not that bad when you get the hang of it
I don't understand those objections.

Yes, one of the key insights of modern DL-based ML is that size matters, neural networks start producing interesting generalisation only once you have large parameter spaces. Indeed, one might wonder if size is all that matters?

I don't see what is wrong with search indices, every computer is a gigantic search index, because main memory is a map from an index (the memory address) to 2^n bit integers, the value stored at the index. So anything that can be computed at all, can be computed by "a search index". The important thing that, prima facie, distinguish NNs from eg SQL databases, is the use real numbers as latent space: because real numbers are a metric space, so you have a notion of distance which allows you do use efficient local search like gradient descent. Moreover, when you ask this 'mere' search index (NNs) about something that it was not trained on, it can (and probably does) return something that is close in this metric space to something it learned.

That did not work at all in the 1990s. Today it works spectacularly well in some domains. So an interesting question now is, to use your language: is human intelligence anything more than "building a search index" and "looking up examples in the search index and combining"?
So this is a variation of Searle's Chinese room, but unlike him in 1980, we have working Chinese rooms!
The GLIDE api was quite different from OpenGL or Direct3D. There’s a lot of examples of games from that era that played well on 3DFx hardware but absolutely sucked on OGL or D3D. I think for example the first Unreal engine and games built off it like Deus Ex.

Obviously hardware has improved so much that you can play a game like Deus Ex on any hardware today and it performs perfectly well. But there are also games that run into problems with high clock rates for unrelated reasons. So for an accurate emulation, you would want a clocked down CPU and 3DFx chip running on a FPGA or something.
Also bzip2! Which is just data compression, not sequence alignment.
The government is dumb. This has been a pure short term political play to win favor for midterms; from the article:
