Ah, I get you.

I'd start by skimming some of the professor's papers. That will give you some intuition for what sorts of problems the professor will be able to give the best supervision on. Even if they leave things wide open for you, you're best off being supervised by someone who actually knows their stuff. If you're interested in something which they don't know anything about, you should look for another supervisor.

If looking over their past work doesn't give you any ideas about open problems they can help you with, then it's going to depend on what you already studied and are interested in. Blockchain? Electronic voting systems? Breaking or improving the security or performance of cryptographic primitives? Proving existence or impossibility of certain abstract properties of cryptosystems? Eg how does a paper like https://academic.oup.com/comjnl/article/49/3/310/564250 grab you?
The "no reason" part means you were intentionally doing something dangerous. But if you slammed on your breaks for any reason at all and the person behind you hits you, that's absolutely their fault.
Everyone wants to be indispensable until they don’t. Getting people to plant two years ahead is an eternal struggle.
I've been using Kagi for a few months and while it is better than Google/DDG in many aspects, it still inherits the problem of ignoring words in queries.

Also, the "International" region has a strong American bias. Google still handles localised search results significantly better than anything else. I'm still a paying customer of Kagi though and I hope they get a chance to work on these issues.
I think there may be someone else in the community working on this
The numbers not recorded as "COVID related" clearly are. This leads people to falsely conclude that the pandemic is over, when clearly this is not the case.

I feel like we're ALL in the position of the indigenous people of the new world, exposed to European diseases for the first time, and even with modern medicine, I don't think we're likely to fair much better than they did over the coming years.
Five seconds is an eternity when driving.
However it worked I wired someone a few weeks back it and took an hour or so and cost me like $10. Beats bitcoin.
That’s me! Definitely a slow work in progress… Thank you for the kind words of encouragement :)
It did launch in 04/05, but it's only two console generations older than a switch.
i don't mind you. you're solid.
I've updated it based on your suggestion.

I originally left off a description because NetworkX is the library for doing graph things in Python and I kind of assumed people would know. While it's not the most performant or cutting edge, it's so well-established that everyone else aims for interface compatibility with it, much like pandas and tabular data.

It's pretty neat that they've decided to leverage this by opening up the backend, allowing more performant/application specific offerings like SNAP or CUgraph to do the heavy lifting.
This is in line with his thoughts that Congress is dysfunctional and strange. He explains his feelings in detail in the HBO doc “The Swamp”. It’s actually interesting and insightful, and for a few moments you forget what a piece of shit he is.

Essentially Congress has a caste system based around how much money you can raise for your party. Everyone has to raise a certain amount or they are essentially outcast from their party. Pelosi is speaker when the Dems control the House not because of her experience or other credentials, but because she consistently raises the most money.
These are valid concerns but I don't think are reasons not to have a blanket ban. Delay in addressing the issue is simply going to result in a worse outcome for recovery because if it is a fraud[1], the ongoing costs of operation and any outflows to insiders are just going to eat away at the assets that should go back to victims. If by some strange turn of events it's not a fraud a ban would cause the backers of Tether to see sense, be transparent etc and get back on track.

In the stock world, you can't have an ETF without credible audits, regulatory checks etc. Generally speaking that means if I have an ETF which someone says will track the SPX, it has an underlying asset basket comprising the stocks in the SPX and a redemption/creation mechanism where creating new units is contingent on assets being added to the basket to ensure redemption is later possible. Vice versa, redemption involves selling those assets to give back cash.

You don't get to just say "don't look behind the curtain. Your gold is there but you don't get to look at it".

[1] Which I have said for a very long time that it very likely _is_ simply on the basis of logic. If it's not a fraud there really is no reason whatsoever not to allow an audit and have full transparency about underlying assets. They don't do this and therefore are most likely a fraud. The reason they have always given (that giving transparency about their list of assets would allow others to duplicate their strategy) is the epitome of weaksauce and reason for concern in itself. For the people creating an ETF, the ETF is a source of funding because you have the ability to swap basket assets for units and do creative things when you see units available for purchase in the market. The edge doesn't come from having super seekrit strats about what goes in the asset basket. Any alpha from teh basket contents would cause undue volatility and the ETF not to track the reference index properly.
I know why it’s not OSS but I hope the source code is in escrow so that it can go on if the author passes or abandons it.
I've always assumed it was earnest enough, but steeped deeply in the academic culture of "OK, we've done the hard part; implementation is left as an exercise for the reader"
China's playbook has some gems; learning maths until the end of school is one of them.

Australia has a similar policy: maths is taught at school from Kindergarten classes up to year 12. The solution is to have multiple levels of maths for the same year (after reaching a certain point).

For example, a Year 10 student can be in one of 4 possible maths classes, 3 of which are selective, i.e., available to students above the specific thresholds.

Thriving in the AI Era: How to Take Advantage of Opportunities Created by GPT
The public page makes no such distinction[0].

I created a mySAE account to download the full spec. What I found is that the manufacturer generally has fairly free reign to define their "operational design domain (ODD)" for level 3 systems, aka what conditions the car's "level 3" operation is designed for and can operate under. The only real requirement for level 3 is that OEDR is required (monitoring the driving environment (detecting, recognizing, and classifying objects and events and preparing to respond as needed) and executing an appropriate response to such objects and events (i.e., as needed to complete the DDT and/or DDT fallback [fallback to driver]).

So from what you're saying, I gather that in a hypothetical USDT -> BTC -> USDC repositioning, even if you were to execute the first USDT -> BTC leg, you wouldn't be able to execute the next BTC -> USDC leg until after this first transaction to BTC has been "confirmed", and each leg of the trade "can easily take 30 minutes to confirm" all the while exposing the position to BTC downside volatility risk?

I find it very strange that crypto exchanges don't handle execution, confirmation and settlement in the same way as traditional markets.

Also, wasn't the major sell point of stablecoins to enable direct crypto-to-crypto transactions without ever needing to first settle in fiat currency, e.g. USDT -> USDC, as opposed to USDT -> USD -> USDC?
I've been using Neeva for about a year now, and this is the feature that might get me to abandon them. The AI returns blatantly wrong results for fairly obvious search prompts.

Q: new york california distance
A: The distance between New York and California is 3,928 kilometers (2,441 miles). The driving distance is 2,866 miles (4,612 kilometers). The road distance is 269.5 miles.

Q: fed interest rate
A: The current Fed Funds Rate range is 0.75% - 1%. This is the result of a 50-basis-point rate hike at the Fed’s final 2022 meeting in December. This is the most significant fed rate hike over 17 years. The Fed's rate-setting committee hiked its benchmark rate by 0.5 percentage point on Wednesday, lifting its target rate into a range between 4.25% and 4.5%. The Federal Reserve System is the central banking system of the United States of America.

This is all made worse by the fact that the AI results are presented with a distracting and pointless animation.
This is like arguing that Gmail didn't exist even when it had tens of millions of users, because Google hadn't yet deleted the word "beta" next to the logo.
Then why does the article claim Mercedes is the first automaker to offer L3 driving?
> At this point, the question should be: what makes you believe they are insolvent?

Their unwillingness to undergo an audit, combined with their constant lies on this subject.

This is something that literally every financial company on earth is capable of doing in an above-board fashion. That they haven't done so is deafening.
Buying a major car company is buying a whole heap of liabilities and depreciating assets. The major value drivers (contributors to market cap) are brand, patent portfolio, and future revenues from existing capex.

Tesla doesn't want to support the supply chain of new and used parts for a legacy car company, they can barely keep up with their own (and they only make 4 models!).
If it is a device in your local network, arp-scanning is also very useful. IIRC e.g. windows or ios devices won't respond to icmp pings but to arp "pings".
It seems to me he raising the price because he knows our current president will pay it. I’m sure Trump would have pounced at the opportunity to deny any government subsidies “because the price is too high”.
As customers of the vaccine to deliver to their citizenry. You might as well say Microsoft is funded by the US government (and others) because they buy Windows and Office licenses: technically true and also misleading because it’s revenue for a product they sold them for a profit. Those profits fund further R&D into new products, some of which will be sold on the private market and some of which will be sold to governments.
Monkeys typing with Neuralink also seemed like a Cut and Dry demonstration of the potential usefulness of the device.

I'm baffled as to how you can say "fyi it's fundamentally broken" without giving more detail.
This seems wildly inefficient. Can’t we have multiple sets of registers? Not millions, but…

Are registers expensive in hardware? Why not have loads of them?
Big difference between needing to keep attention on the road because the car is liable to hit parked cars obstructing the travel lane, and merely having to be ready to start paying attention when the operational design domain of a L3 system is no longer met. Like for this Drive Pilot, when traffic speeds up to 40 MPH.
> Brian said they can't list privacy friendly coins like XMR due to regulations.

I know he’s said this but it’s 100% bullshit since Kraken is able to list XMR just fine.
An infinite amount of "fine tuning" would solve any problem, yes...

...but what we just described isn't a language processor anymore: it's just a database. There is no need to use a neural network if you already have a known response to every possible input!

The entire point of ChatGPT in the first place is to generate a response that doesn't exist in the training data. If all we needed was to look up the answer we wrote down earlier, we already have SQL.

What we are talking about here is being able to provide a logically correct response without just pulling it out of a lookup table. Either you can do that, or you can't, and ChatGPT can't.
> Doesn’t this seem like a massive, systemic threat in itself, that an audit-dodging, opaque institution underpins the ecosystem?

It was. But it's increasingly less so. The market has hedged this risk somewhat, by decreasing its market share: https://www.theblock.co/data/decentralized-finance/stablecoi.... And will likely continue to do so.
All HDMI PlayStations can read control signals from the HDMI receiver i.e. can be controlled by the TV remote, though running third party apps (such as Netflix) would be problematic with a TV remote because for some stupid reason Sony does not allow apps to exit(3) so you can start anything with a TV remote but if it's a non-builtin player you need a PS remote or a controller to bring up the system menu and kill the app.
The difference between “management” and “nice management” is that nice management will be nice to you as they escort you out of the building and wish you a sincere “good luck” at the door. There is no such thing as loyalty blah blah blah etc. etc. et. Al.
"Hackers" looks like a good book.
Exactly, important to note that you can still have very high UV even in overcast cooler weather as well.
Musk never had the features he was claiming, it was all bravado

The competition thought the claims were real and actually made it happen.
I've gotten it tested. I am indeed on the lower end of the range. But there is nothing that can be done about it right? I do workout 6 times a week with 3 weight training, eat very decent diet. My weight, bodyfat and muscle tone are in good standing too. All That really hasn't raised my testosterone. I don't want to get on TRT.
Hopefully lessons can be learned and applied elsewhere.

As with drugs, the best answer is to legalize, regulate, and tax it.
It will be interesting to see how it handles transitive dependencies through a supply chain you don’t control. Same issue as “this 3rd party npm package depends on an insecure version of X” but at a function level.
If it's insolvent it already has failed - this exercise is just about admitting that failure and making the facts known.
happy to see titles other than software engineer in the report
I'm not an expert at JS internals, but I'm under the impression that if you call a function ten times, its code has to be interpreted ten times, so you get ten, temporary, abstract syntax trees. Such is life in interpreter-land--the code is authoritative, the instructions are ephemeral.

My impression of Unison is that if you want to call a function ten times, you just need to evaluate that code into an AST once. Once you have the hash of that AST, you can delete the code and still call the function 9 more times without having to bother with building the tree each time.

I don't know what to call it, but I don't think it's interpreted because you don't need the code to run it (except the first time, which is how you know find the hash of the function).
The standard decomposition is

--The instruction set is the lowest level of user-visible software. The instruction set is implemented (in principle) by microcode.

--Microcode (if present) is a bunch of hardwired logic signals that cause data to move between subunits of the CPU in response to instructions. Register transfer specifications govern the design at this level.

--A CPU is a collection of subunits including registers, arithmetic units, and logic gates.

--Registers are collections of flip-flops.

--Arithmetic units are made of logic gates.

--Flip-flops are made from logic gates in feedback configurations to make them stateful. State machine theory governs the design of these circuits.

--Logic gates are stateless and made of transistors. Boolean algebra governs the design at this level.

--Transistors are made of NMOS or PMOS or bipolar silicon junctions. Device physics and electrical properties govern this level.

This abstraction hierarchy is useful when learning, but in the real world the abstraction layers are much blurrier: Everything's really just transistors, stateless stuff often has invisible state, electrical considerations matter at every level, etc.
> L3 driving is only available at low speeds, approx 35mph

In that case, this paragraph from the article doesn't make much sense (in fairness, it was on pretty shaky ground to begin with):

> Mercedes’ Level 3 conditionally automated driving assistant can, on suitable highway sections [emphasis added] and where traffic density is high, offer to take over the driving, leaving the driver free to do something else, like watch a movie or participate in a meeting.
Go Ken!
if you start tracking reps and weight, i guarantee you will loose interest fast. while tracking might certainly be useful for muscle building, gmb.io has a different approach and focuses on movements that are safe and help you in real life (mobilise wrist / shoulders, prevent back pain improve posture etc). A lot can be done without fancy equipment.
This site is about finding specific exercises for specific muscles though, and I think it works really well for that, I’ve used it off and on for years.

There are plenty of reasons an individual may be looking for exercises to hit a specific muscle. I agree compound lifts are great for people interested in pursuing general fitness but there are plenty of people who can benefit from this.

I’ve used it because I needed to strengthen specific muscles after injuries or to protect from re-injury and wanted to explore options. I’ve also used it to mix up lifting routines by having multiple exercises I can rotate through that hit the same muscles. Clearly I’m a fan :)

Just like being in the gym, it’s important not to judge how others are working on their bodies^. You never know the story behind why someone is doing what they do.

^unless they’re putting themselves in honest to god danger of course!
Well, you know, you also get an established luxury brand, a cadre of brand-loyal customers, a significant increase in the manufacturing base and tons of proprietary tech. Are you telling me Mr. Musk would have bothered to create his own brand if he had enough capital to buy an existing brand to start with? The latter is a much safer strategy in bringing a car to market. He took big risks creating his own brand because he lacked the initial capital to buy one outright.
There are plenty of Product jobs out there. Product Manager is a direct application of the same skills. They love ex-startup founders as opposed to someone who worked in some corporation and did focus groups and week-long UI/UX workshops, but never talk to users.
On the other side, I wish the babel tower of javascript stacks collapses under its own weight so we can stop normalizing 50mb of download and 2gbs of ram used for a front end.

Maybe something that compiles to wasm? Idk
It could be free but with sponsored replies.
On one hand - yes. In our math classroom there was a quote of Lomonosov (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mikhail_Lomonosov): “You should study math because it puts your brains in order”. I tend to agree with it.

On the other hand - my parents tried force on me playing a piano. It was both a tyranny and a failure…

What’s the technological leap equivalent when I finally turn in my 2011 Fusion and get a car with this type of tech?
20M/year is a huge salary in Japan. If you're looking for American salaries, you will only find those in America. The cost-of-living outside America is generally lower and life is lower-risk (no medical bankruptcy), so you don't need as much money, plus people outside America don't demand and expect to own giant McMansions.
Oh yes, I remember being inspired by the idea of reversible compute. That very much appeals to the physicist in me. But it was vague even back then, and resurfacing with this nonsense about needing a big team to make any progress tells me at least they aren't serious, and at most they are actively out to scam some money out of people.
>I fail to see how owning a $6000 Leica 'limits' anyone

Any single camera/lens is a constraint. The price kept him from choosing the Leica. With the Leica, you're forced into a different set of constraints. It's a monochrome camera, with no ability to do color. In the same situation, I'd be tempted to shoot everything and then mix down to monochrome afterwards.

Some people deliberately shoot on the "Diana" camera, which is horrible.[1] They feel the limitations of the camera force them to be creative.

The author went with a Fuji which does color, but likely keeps it set in monochrome mode.

>Part of me is happy that the photography industry has been disrupted by the quality cameras in cellphones these days.

DSLRs are far, far better sensor/lens systems than you'll ever pack into a phone. It is sad that the economies of scale are no longer going to be available to help push the DSLR form factor any more. That is the extent of the disruption. DSLRs will always be better in the technical and optical sense than a cell phone camera... with one exception

the golden rule of the best camera

The best camera is the one you actually have with you
I think there’s a valid critique to be had at centrally managed education systems. We take our freedoms for granted in the west and the author is simply showing the mirror across in communism.

Creating a bunch of subservient robots is not a winning strategy in the long run as any education leads to later moments of self reflection which will create hate for the system that interned you.

As for modern day journalism, I’m with you I wish there was better way to fund voices but this is what we have for now! At least the topic is relevant to the larger debate going on.
That's wildly and obviously untrue. Let's look at the definition of insolvency[1] "when an individual or company can no longer meet their financial obligations to lenders as debts become due."

Take a trivial example - a person with no debts. You have to concede such people do exist in the world.

They are by definition not insolvent, and cannot be. Even if the currency completely collapsed and USD had zero value this would not make them insolvent because they have o debt and therefore no financial obligations.

As an owner who experiences the “joy” of dealing with a tesla on a daily basis it’s simple: Tesla is over-valued. There’s so many little gotchas and shortcuts taken that I find it impossible to believe this company is worth what people claim it is on paper. The theoretical wealth of this company stems from consumer/investor ignorance in my opinion. That’s why he hasn’t acquired more of his competitors, the value can’t be realized, it needs to stay bottled up as “potential” for lack of better words.
Had the same response, but would have said "Django" not "Rails". Hardly matters tho.

And htmx is worth exploring. As is HTML over the wire tools across various languages.
How would you implement a benchmark then?

The kwargs thing is true… but I didn't design the API of pydantic. And it only happens on the small top level dictionary, not on all of them (unless it internally does it all the time).

Java has JIT, I agree that in that case keeping the output value is important. cpython isn't that smart. I honestly never tried to benchmark using pypy. I guess it could be interesting to try that.
It does, in the sense that executing any (regular, macro) code involves executing microcode. But no, there's not a separate phase during which only microcode is executed, if that's what you mean.
Most companies either do too little documentation (they have a little page with the bare minimum high-level overview), or they do way too much (detailed change request forms for every change, which go into a file cabinet, and are never looked at again). Alas, it's really hard to get people to understand that documentation is good and necessary when they've only ever been exposed to one or both of those systems.
