> If you're a self taught programmer you probably didn't learn by finding a university's syllabus and trying to replicate it.

I actually did this. A cs degree has like 6 or 8 dedicated computer classes when you break it down. Everything else is like Gen eds and math. It's pretty much algorithms and ds, maybe assembly and operating systems. Then some elective classes.
Sucks because I really like his writing, but dude (we’re informal right, man?) the politics piece just makes me wonder if the author does a delicate dance of language there, juxtaposing Obama as “self-satisfaction”

I mean you try and be the first black president. And he was hella funny too, sooo. :/ to wink at his fellow moderate conservatives, and yes I vote blue, sometimes red if they give a f*ck.

Anyways, just kinda takes a weird turn for me with Trump. Like, we all need to take shit less seriously, and Trump is hilarious.. but I dunno, calling him funny is almost too obvious I guess, or too absurd.. I probably just can’t take a joke.

in my humble opinion, of course.

My initial goal was to understand mathematics well enough to have a some grasp of "Deep Learning" (2016) textbook by Goodfellow, Bengio, and Courville. I meant like 50-85% understanding of the math depending on the chapter. And being able to have reasonable understanding of deep learning papers being published in the 2012-2018 period. https://www.deeplearningbook.org

1. Because my math was pretty rusty, I started with single-variable calculus. Good resources for this are Khan Academy including pre-calc prequisites all the way up to multivariable calc and linear algebra. I'm not sure which textbook on single-variable calc is good but there are many many to choose from.

2. For multivariable calc, I began with Lang's "Calculus of Several Variables". https://link.springer.com/book/10.1007/978-1-4612-1068-9

3. After Lang, I did a lot of the problems in the first half (differentiation only) of Baxandall and Liebeck's "Vector Calculus". This is truly an outstanding book; such clear exposition and excellent organization with many examples. It was a little more formal in it's presentation than I was used to. But this helped me learn to write decent and well-organized proofs. And when I got to item 6 below, Baxandall and Liebeck got me ready! https://store.doverpublications.com/0486466205.html

4. In parallel, I studied linear algebra. My two main intro books were Strang's "Introduction to Linear Algebra" (4th edition). https://math.mit.edu/~gs/linearalgebra/

But I found Strang (super popular among college students) was well-supplemented by Kuldeep Singh's "Linear Algebra Step-by-Step" https://global.oup.com/academic/product/linear-algebra-97801...?

5. At this point, the Khan Academy videos on linear algebra were very helpful.

6. Now that I was ready, I started Axler's "Linear Algebra Done Right". It's more formal and abstract compared to 4 and 5 above. I love it though! It's taken me years and I'm still only part way through. It is one of my all-time favorite books--not just in math--but in any field. I'm a bit slow at this type of abstract / proof-based math but it's deeply deeply satisfying. https://linear.axler.net

7. Recently, I started Jacobson's "Basic Algebra I". I'm only at the beginning of my journey into modern algebra but I really like it so far.https://www.maa.org/publications/maa-reviews/basic-algebra-i...

Hope this helps!
I highly recommend this book from 30 years ago. It was based on works from much earlier, but I think some part of the field kind of still haven't caught up to it yet (I agree with you).

That's kinda the point here I think. GPT-3 is trained on much more data than SD and contains much more knowledge. SD is actually similar in size to GPT-2.

Image models of the same size as GPT-3 should be much more impressive, the difference will probably be quite large like the difference between GPT-2 and GPT-3.

Ask SD to write a step by step guide to do something and it will create an image that looks kinda like some instructions, but the contents will be nonsense.

An image model of the size of GPT-3 could probably do this task quite well in many cases.

Image models needs much better language understanding to get to the next level also though, so probably multimodal models may make more sense. Maybe feeding web pages rendered as images to an image model could give interesting results.
But how should they measure "I matured and now I have grit"?
As an outsider without any knowledge of the company infra:

1) I wonder if they so many layers of CI/CD and testing, that the whole pipeline, even rollbacks probably re-run their tests which takes time. Are CI/CD runners the problem or it is something like network/DNS thing?

2) What if someone inside Cloudflare glibly yells "Why can't we just rsync our code to all data centers in less than a minute?" What would be the pushback this person would get? Why is it a stupid suggestion? Answering that would reveal some crazy layers of abstractions that get piled up in large companies.

I dunno, my snarky answer would probably be: Just as if they'd test for A, but you actually need to be good at B.

I've not been to any school in the US and I don't have a PhD, so all these acronyms like GPA only have a vague meaning to me. But as someone who kinda disliked school and didn't put much effort in it, I can see how school grades can be a bad proxy for university. I didn't even do that well in math in school, but I managed to go above and beyond with all my math classes for my CS degree. I'm not completely sure how the admission for PhDs work and if they look at your BSc/MSc tests... but again, I guess doing ANY work related to finishing a paper is probably closer to what you'll be doing later than e.g. your grades in database stuff when you'll be researching programming languages...
Exactly, plus I believe paying off a credit card improves your credit score. Some debit cards at least do offer protection (mine is Santander) but it’s not by law so I don’t know if it is as effective as chargebacks, which I’ve had cause to use a couple of times and thought worked great. I also only pay on credit online now and pay off in full, and tell others to do the same.

When I started uni in 2004 it was still like this. I kind of was ashamed at parties to tell what I study, not to come off as too nerdy. I did a double major, so business was hipper. Just imagine! The status of developers changed so much in two decades. Nowadays people are impressed. And even in my career I see the difference. Not so many VPNs anymore, the move to the cloud made everything much easier.

Hah, that description kind of reminds me of Gunz, where some bugs in the game lead to players being able to climb walls, basically fly around and attack rapidly while moving.

> [..] and that the rollback lasted so long

That does not surprise me. There are companies working with CI/CD systems whose tests easily take more than an hour. And until they are completed, they cannot start releasing (enforced via system permissions). This is a good thing, but the possibility of an emergency rollback should be considered beforehand and maybe (it always depends) exceptions made for such purposes.

And sometimes it makes more sense to revert slowly to make sure it doesn't get worse.

Share buybacks and dividends are profit sharing for shareholders, not workers...

A shareholder of a public company has done nothing for the company to generate value, even more when buying the paper from a previous shareholder and so not contributing to capitalise the enterprise.

Apart from helping to set pricing in the market, what exactly does a shareholder in the open market brings of value-generation to a company? Nothing. And they get dividends while most workers depend on the benesse of a company sharing bonuses and so on.
Google or Apple could change their app store policies to either require allowing it or offer APIs.
I have to doubt that this is lack of technical ability. It must be a lack of will.

If Google cared, it would be easy for them to spot the discontent that has been voiced in places like this, and they could easily build workarounds.

Much of the spam results that users here are complaining about are easy to recognize for a human. Google could manually annotate their dataset to punish such sites.

Also, don’t they have the data of how long searchers spend on each of those sites they visit? With that data, it should be easy to weed out the SEO spam.

So I have to guess that the majority of users actually doesn’t care. For them, perhaps, what we call SEO spam is some kind of value added service that gives them the answer they were looking for. That it is a rip off of another, much more authoritative site seems to be something they either don’t recognize or don’t care about.

I've been following this project for a while and I love it. The only drawback I see is that writing maths equations is not easy. In my blog I use Mathjax, but I guess this is not possible in Bear because they want to do all the heavy processing server-side, and rendering LaTeX on server side using Mathjax is not trivial. Hopefully they'll find a solution to this issue, since I think a lot of people would then migrate their technical blogs to Bear.
Ok, we replaced "new" with "unidentified" in the title above. Thanks!

The way I see it, you should be able to do calculus without pen or paper, so certainly without references or guidance.

If you want to be creative the first step is to put the problem in your head so that you can actually ponder it. If you have to pour over references and look things up, then you're not in the game any more than you can play chess if you have to look up the rules as you play.
So you suggest great devs not only do great coding but are also mind readers?
I feel like this is still a weird decision:

The maximum harm from the mandate is a person losing their job, and in most states (inc NY) that's a harm any employer can inflict for almost any reason or no reason at all.

The maximum harm from no mandate is that many people get infected by that individual who otherwise would not have, they infect others on an exponential basis, and people die.

To me, that's a pretty easy harm vs harm decision. I wonder what the same court would do with a surgeon who likes a drink before operating and refused to do stop. Presumably his right to a job would outweigh his patient's right to an X% lower chance of dying?!

I know it can't be that crazy. I must be missing some killer legal principle here (other than "fuck society"). And it's not the court's job but it would be very very helpful if they'd explain their reasoning a bit better. The ruling mostly reads like a mix of the argument from the winning side repeated and snippets from the losing side proceeded by "the court does not agree that" etc.

C'est la vie I guess. Thanks for your comment :)

Looks like there's already a pull request to fix building under macOS: https://github.com/7thSamurai/steganography/pull/1
YMMV

I was excited for this because I thought it'd enable me to compile my HDL projects on my MacBook, since I'm targeting the Xilinx XC9500XL series of CPLDs this requires some an EOL design suite.

Anyway, build times are:

4 minutes with Rosetta 2

11 minutes with qemu-user-static

Whereas it only takes 20 seconds on my early 2013 MacBook Pro.

I think it would also be nice if it were possible to use this with other hypervisors. I believe it is limited to virtualization.framework so it cannot be used inside fusion for instance

You and the other poster are discussing different things.

OP said that subtle clues are inferior, and even useless, compare to direct communication.

In your response, you said indirect, subtle communication is better, but your reason is that it is pointless.

You claim people can never improve, or, that helping them is pointless.

In this scenario, you are not arguing that subtly is better, you are arguing that nothing is better.

Yet by your metric, there is no logic in pointing this out...

I have very similar experiences from partnered improvized dancing, my main style being the Argentine tango. For at least last 10 years, my aim has been to find obstacles that prevent me from experiencing such a state, and experiencing such a state has become more common.

I have used almost the same words to describe my experience: although I am the leader in the couple, and everything is improvized to the music, I feel like I am the spectator, and I feel the couple is moving like a single animal, one head and four legs.
That's been my experience, I'm certain that good travel agents exist but finding them is hard and most don't seem to be much better than I can do myself. I've also tried some of those "concierge service" and they seem to always find much worse solutions than what I can find on my own.
What happens if a rollback somehow makes things worse? Even emergency rollbacks need a gradual rollout so you’ve got a chance to catch any new issues you didn’t expect.

> No vaccine prevents transmission.

Wrong. Some viruses don't get transmitted if the person is not symptomatic, even if there's an infection. Your lack of understanding belies your argument.

> Ask yourself what the efficacy would need to be for you to be pro-vax-mandate. I suspect I already know the answer.

Well, first of all, the vaccine has to be:

* effective,

* free of major side effects,

* for a virus that kills a large portion of the infected and that kills more than just the elderly and obese,

* and not mandated for people to actually live.

The COVID shots and mandates did not meet any of those requirements.

And if you complain that my last requirement is too much, remember that in the United States, the Federal Government has severe limits on its power on purpose. Sure, the government should be able to prevent unvaccinated people from accessing government facilities, but only temporarily (while the pandemic is going on) because the government has jurisdiction over those things.

But it does not have jurisdiction over telling businesses who they can and cannot do business with.
> I could probably have optimized my rail pass choice more, not sure I picked the absolute best departure days (I could probably have gone a week earlier or later) and there was probably a better way to book a hotel when I needed two non-consecutive stays

But will a travel agent really do that for you? Most likely they just use more or less the same booking interface as you do and give you some package deal and that's that.
In all fairness: If nothing else, a way to quickly deploy or revert is also a way to quickly break everything.
I use ad blocker on my computers so never have to see any ads. But on my TV, without ad blocker, YouTube is completely unusable. I have to sit through 2 unskippable ads just to watch a 2 minute movie trailer.

This is the "most favored nation" pricing clause that major OTAs like Booking and Expedia try to put in their contracts with hotels. Usually the phrasing says something along the lines of how the clause doesn't apply if the hotel has a previous relationship with the guest - this is part of why hotel chains push so hard to get customers to join their loyalty programs. If the OTA is taking 20% off the top, the hotel can get you to sign up for their program and then sell you the room for 10% off, and everyone but the OTA wins. Another way hotels try to get around this is offering free breakfast, wifi, better rooms, etc. for directly booked customers, while showing the same price as the OTA.

~5 years ago the EU was starting to push back on the legality of the MFN clauses and I was under the impression that Booking.com had scaled back their usage of them in some ways, but I don't know the current state of things.

While I'm at it, my usual rant about Booking.com's review system - the scale is actually from 2.5-10, and the median score is 8.1. Don't be fooled by those "above average" 7 scores.
The key part of my comment was "things like this". While this earthquake wasn't anything to write home about, a think like this, an earthquake, could easily be much worse, and therefore deeply impact folks that live here. It hasn't been that long since Loma, and that could be said to have deeply impacted those that lived there then, and still impacts us that do today, no?
