It's possible they literally have a top-tier PR firm working on it. Maybe more than one.

Not to discount the possibility that they've simply knocked this out of the park themselves, but the "West" sure seems to be providing them a lot of soft support in addition to equipment, and some of that might be that kind of thing (I'm assuming Ukraine wouldn't be paying such a bill themselves, under these circumstances). The US government has been known to engage Madison Avenue & co. themselves, including for war-propaganda purposes, and not in the distant past.
Agreed. React reminds me of early days PHP. Which I supposed makes sense from an engineering org that was birthed on PHP. Separation of concerns?? NAHHH!!
That's always bugged me as a broken analogy, too.

In college it was an extremely common aphorism "It's a marathon, not a sprint" as reminder to sustainably pace yourself and it has always seemed like Scrum originators had heard that phrase and gotten it exactly backward and it stuck.

In marathon pacing analogy terms, "Split" would be the more accurate term. Though I know a lot of people don't think that sounds as good as "Sprint" does. Personally, I've often preferred just calling them "Fortnights" as an accurate description for "two-week process" (and a useful callback to long watches in older times). (Though the game "Fortnite" has confused that term a bit recently among the youth. "What does this have to do with the shooter?" Sigh.)
I listen to the advent of computing podcast and enjoyed the ones where it explored why Lisp is associated with AI. And how IPL predated lisp and influenced it.
That only means publishers are accomplices.
This has been a massive problem with everything since PHP stopped being popular. Wordpress is easy even for a layperson to setup
> for all practical purposes it's pretty much dead.

It has a very small community. That is very different from being dead - in fact, that community is probably much more passionate about what makes it specific than a large community.

For example, you'd find that sysadmins are much more prevalent on Gopher than Twitter.
Not in the context the person you responded to meant it. Yes, you can very easily get 50GB/s from a few NVMe devices on a single box. Getting 50GB/s on a POSIX-ish filesystem exported to 1000 servers is very possible and common, but orders of magnitude more complicated. 500GB/s is tougher still. 5TB/s is real tough, but real fun.
TLD alone would certainly not be enough of a filter. Scholar has to account for scientific publishers that use TLDs like .com and .org and other non-school websites that use ccTLDs.

But Scholar proves it is possible to usefully filter for peer-reviewed papers.

Filtering is never "perfect". The question is whether it is good enough to be useful.
I suspect the functionality is rather less, but still, that is impressive.
Funny also that Israel acquired the Golan Heights while defending against a Syrian attack. If Ukraine were to gain territory later in the war, would they disregard it based on a similar principal?

Honestly, it looks not unlike Justin Beiber declaring support for some cause which he knows nothing about. They appear to be promoting morality, when really they are promoting an oversimplification for a narrative. But that sure gets Twitter followers, likes, and upvotes.

"You could build a very complex UI with Ext.JS back in 2010 with a lot less code and very little time" I have not encountered a more complex and verbose library than ExtJS. I would never in a million years say "very little time" with ExtJS. I did not enjoy my time with it at all. And that was a whole lot of time, since it took forever to do the simplest of things.

Personally I think the latest round of models that have caught the attention of pop culture have doubled down on the idea of AI being a "clever party trick". There's a lot of demos and pontificating but still not a clear pathway between generating pictures of llamas playing basketball and any kind of step change in commercial activity. I feel like we're getting even further towards optimizing for cool tricks instead of utility. Otoh, I believe there is lots of cool, less popular in pop-culture ML work that is moving us in commercially valuable directions.

The implication in the article that these demos will re-ignite VC interest after many were previously burned investing in AI is funny to me. People who threw money at a shiny object they didn't understand got disappointed, now a new one comes along and they're diving right back in
If you forget your password — it's YOUR fault. If you reuse your password and it gets leaked — it's YOUR fault. If for some reason you cannot fix yourself, and have to rely on Google 2FA for that — good. Somebody who can manage their own passwords alright shouldn't suffer because of you. How about his just using his password, and lose his accounts because he fucked up, not because Google (or anybody else) suddenly thinks (incorrectly) that it's not him anymore, who uses that login and password.

Given how suggestible people are one would expect the power of suggestion to show up elsewhere. For instance, the area of gender identity. Just like the "false memory" craze in psychology back in the 80's and 90's, today we have an army of psychologist / psychiatry / social services / (and yes, those who have identified themselves as trans something,) heavily invested in telling (young) people they are "a certain way." Someone may be searching for their identity and may not feel comfortable with the "standard" models but that doesn't mean the psy-industrial-complex is correct in saying "you are X". People are making impossible-to-reverse life-changing decisions based on the cheering section telling them "you are X," in the same way people were being sent to jail based on "repressed memories" implanted back then by the same industrial complex. There may be people who really are trans-x but it might be wiser counsel to wait for maturity before a person makes such a decision.

I live in the other bubble and yours always puzzles me. How do the folks in your bubble justify a full-scale war against Ukraine? Do you find their explanations convincing? So far the justifications I heard are pretty weak, like Russians in Eastern Ukraine felt threatened or were worried they wouldn't be able to speak Russian. Do you personally find any of these sensible reasons for invading another country and effectively killing thousands of people?
I am pretty crypto naive. My understanding is that a wallet is effectively a `private key => balance` and you can use the private key to sign transactions which are sent to a block chain where they are executed. So when I said "direct wallet" I meant the private key.

My understanding is that many of the people who own crypto do so through a third party, so there is a layer of indirection. It's the difference between me having cash in hand (money in my pocket I can directly use) and me having cash in the bank (I tell my bank to send money to someone else and they execute the transaction on my behalf).

My mom has downloaded ransomeware before, so from that perspective, I think crypto has worse security properties. If transactions are executed indirectly, the security properties are theoretically the same as executing transactions through a bank and you are back in a system of trust. Furthermore if a "cryptobank" gets hacked, that money is not retrievable, while theoretically in a system of pure fiat, the money might not be retrievable, but the value could be refunded at the cost of devaluing the currency as a whole.

As far as behind the scenes implementation details go, a cryptographicly signed ledger with immutable history makes sense, but I also generally trust banks, much less so investment banks, and significantly less so the stock market.

Too many people decided to ride the wagon at once and it got too heavy. Some will have to get off and help push again.
Firstly, that needs a rewrite in some non-sucky curly brace with pointers:

Edit_Array buffer_batch_array_from_linked_list(Arena *arena, Batch_Edit *batch, i32 count)
{
Edit_Array result(arena, count); // Edit_Array has this thingy called a constructor

foreach (node in batch) // Batch_Edit * is somewhere/somehow declared iterable
{
if (result.full()) // Edit_Array has internal fill index, checked against count
break;
result.add(batch->edit); // Edit_Array has method to add and increment fill index.
}

return result; // not a function, drop the parens
}

The Edit_Array class in the original is of no help whatsoever. Like this coder or language aren't even up to abstract data types with Modula-2.

There are other variations of your observation, but it often comes down to not having a holistic and long term view of where the company is going and the culture is should perpetuate.

Not sure what your particular area of expertise is but every time I have browsed Wikipedia for articles related to technical topics including math, programming, AI/ML as well as science, I have found their articles accurate and informative. I also recall a few studies comparing the accuracy of articles on Wikipedia with Encyclopedia Brittanica and journals, which conclude that Wikipedia compares favorably with both (easily found via a google search).
Wait, what? That's precisely opposite of what your source [1] says:

“70% were receiving mental health treatment or had in the past.”
"An April 2016 survey of New York City’s homeless population reported that unsheltered homeless individuals were most likely to be severely mentally ill single males."
Something like 1 in 5 of the homeless in San Francisco have a traumatic brain injury.

None of these people are going to be fixed with mere "housing".

Even worse, putting these people who desperately need medical treatment in "mere housing" is very likely to cause the "mere housing" program to fail when it could have succeeded. The homeless who need "mere housing" don't want to be near the homeless who need "significant medical treatment" any more than anybody else does.

Homelessness has an "Amdahl's Law" nature to it. You have to separate out the different types of homelessness and apply the correct solution. And you will only gain the improvement for the group you "solved".

Consequently, you can solve 20% of the homeless problem and people will still say you "failed" because 80% of the homeless are still in their vision.

Obscurity is still security. But it is a speed bump, not a locked door. Security is probabilistic in nature and it is quite confusing that people portray it as a static concept. For example, remote wiping your phone when lost is a common practice. You ACT as if the information has been extracted but you still wipe. Why? Because not doing so gives a potential adversary infinite time to retreive the data. Similarly speed bumps make it harder. Every security researcher will tell you that there are no foolproof methods. If there were we wouldn't have this cat and mouse game with hackers. It is all probabilistic and anything you do to increase your odds against hackers is, by definition, security.

This is a weird article. There's a lot of rhetoric, and I especially take offense to the framing:

> creating your own version of Scrum is a rite of passage for engineering managers [...] usually result[ing] in catastrophic failure

The whole point of a framework is to adapt it to the specific context in which it is applied. This reads like a scrum apologetic, proclaiming that if your scrum is not working, you're not doing True Scrum.

Then the second part of the article is "pointless" practices of Scrum. Which is it--should we create our own version of Scrum, or should we not?

There's no hard data or evidence. Not even anecdotes.

Overall, it looks like someone applied a light layer of css over

["part I like about scrum", "parts I don't like about scrum"]

I looked through the rclone code to see if I could use generics.

In particular I looked at places where we use code generation and places where we use reflection - both good candidates for generics.

Alas I found generics just weren't powerful enough to replace these uses, it would need a more powerful macro system.

I think go generics are great for container libraries. I've written and debugged enough of those to be very happy using a library.

I doubt Go will ever get macros though.

I really like Zig's comptime mechanism - that seems like the right amount of power and it's all just zig code!
Yes, and the history of philosophy is replete with examples where the learned opinion on a subject stymied progress. Respect for one's intellectual forebearers is good, but being constrained by them has proven to be detrimental in areas where the learned opinion is largely speculative. The progress made by deep learning is so unlikely anything that came before, trying to shoehorn old methods and ontologies into the new paradigm would only harm progress.
I’m not sure I understand what you mean. I’ve run HPC clusters for a long time now, and node failures are just a fact of life. If 3 or 4 nodes of your 500 node cluster are down for a few days while you wait for RMA parts to arrive, you haven’t lost much value. Your cluster is still functioning at nearly peak capacity.

You have a handful of nodes that the cluster can’t function without (scheduler, fileservers, etc), but you buy spares and 24x7 contracts for those nodes.

Did I misunderstand your comment?
I've worked with a yarn cluster with around 200 nodes which ran non stop for well over 5 years and still kicking. There were a handful of failures and replacements, but I'd 95% of the cluster was fine 7 years in.

Directly from the paper’s "Discussion" section:

> One important strength of AlphaTensor is its flexibility to support complex stochastic and non-differentiable rewards (from the tensor rank to practical efficiency on specific hardware), in addition to finding algorithms for custom operations in a wide variety of spaces (such as finite fields). We believe this will spur applications of AlphaTensor towards designing algorithms that optimize metrics that we did not consider here, such as numerical stability or energy usage.
