Interesting Facts about Bell Labs and 2001: A Space Odyssey (2001)
I think this is a real factor. Rust is winning over C/C++ devs to some degree, who are switching to it or adding it to their skillset, but C/C++ devs probably still outnumber them by a factor of, what 10:1? 20:1? Only some of those C/C++ devs have a background in OSDev as well.

I suspect though that Rust is also getting a lot of its fanbase from the Go crowd, or other languages from the webdev side, where there isn't really strong hardware and OSdev skills to begin with.

> Snowden claimed it was watching James Clapper's congressional testimony in March 2013 that triggered him to start downloading and exfiltrating classified material.
This was a lie. He'd actually started collecting his trove of stolen documents many months prior, in mid-2012,

Did he say that the lies to congress were what "triggered to him to start downloading", or was that what finally convinced him to take the truth to the public instead of continuing to bring his concerns to other people within the intelligence community? If I remember correctly, he'd been investigating what looked to him like an unconstitutional program for a while.

> coinciding with arguments with his managers. He had a grudge against his employers,

Nobody gives up their well paying job (while also making sure they'll never work in their field again), risks their life and their life with their loving partner, gives up their freedom, gives up ever seeing their family again, etc all because they get into an argument with their boss.

> Even little things like his claimed $200k salary when it was actually closer to $100k-ish.

That'd be a weird thing to lie about, but he has clarified that issue. According to him the $200,000 was his "career high" salary. He took paycuts at Booz Allen Hamilton in order to get closer to the material he wanted to access. He ended up making $122,000 a year, but that wasn't the most he'd ever made doing intelligence work. Is there some evidence that shows he never made $200,000?
That's totally different - indictments are usually sealed before arrests in the kind of case you're talking about and there is longstanding precedent for that to prevent flight from prosecution. They would arrest you for ITAR and IEEPA violations before you board. That kind of thing happened long before the no fly list. That is different than an opaque list with a million people on it most of which have never been accused of anything and where there is an expensive appeals process and the government is allowed to use secret evidence.

Galaxy formation is inherently chaotic i.e. it exhibits sensitive dependence to initial conditions. My first thought upon reading your comment is that an ANN approach must be wrong because of chaos. But of course a purely numerical gravitational simulation will also be wrong because of chaos.

Constant fraction rebalanced beats buy and hold in the long run[1], under a wide variety of market conditions, including adversarial ones. The difficulty lies in finding (a) what fractions are appropriate for the assets you want to invest in, and (b) the appropriate rate of rebalancing, accounting for transaction costs.

This is an interesting analysis, but leaves out a big point: the structural evolution of markets over time

Back in 19th century, accounting standards weren’t as strict, information was not as widely available, and central banks didn’t exist. It was the Wild West so no wonder you had bubbles and long periods of draw downs

Today the US fed would quickly intervene to turn markets around. When Japan crashed in late 80s, they didn’t know QE was the answer so they struggled for a decade. When the US crashed for similar reasons in 2008, they knew QE would help and jumped on it. The stock market was back on track in a freaking year. It didn’t recover to the heights but it was trending on right direction.

To believe we would have similar long draw downs like the 19th century, you’d have to believe that something structural would change where current valuations would decrease: a shrinking economy (very unlikely), or capital flight elsewhere (also very unlikely given US track record).

The US economy has a lot of advantages and I’m having a hard time seeing a long term bear case for it
Perhaps you don't realize the scope of the catastrophe in Germany. The cities were all bombed and burned flat. Industry was destroyed, anything left of the industry was looted. The dams were broken. A generation of German men was wiped out.

And yet W Germany rose to the most dominant economy in Europe by 1970. Britain was not and did not. The key difference was Germany embraced free markets, and Britain turned away from free markets.

How about Japan? Bombed, burned, and nuked to the ground. An island nation with no natural resources. By the 1970s it rebounded to be the leading industrial powerhouse behind the US.

Have any communist countries achieved such success? Any socialist ones?

A picture of you (rather than one made by you) involves 'personal rights' or 'rights of publicity', rather than copyright. Out in public, you basically don't have any (in the US), the open air is considered fair game for anyone to record images. BUT that does not mean your image could be used to sell a product. Commercial photographers will generally ask for your signature on a release document, perhaps in exchange for a fee. Art/documentary/news photography is more of a free-for-all.
The bigger problem is backing things up.

The old image level 3 servers at Amazon were just image files layed down in a filesystem (hashed, with a directory heirarchy so that massive numbers of files per directory were not the issue). The problem that it reached was that you couldn't ever take one of them offline and you couldn't stream off of one of the block devices, so you were stuck enumerating through all the files. Those were something like 32kB average filesystem (or possibly slightly smaller). And that was on spinning rust with something like a 4ms seek time between files, and the end result was something like a couple months to go through the whole filesystem.

This is why the GoogleFS paper uses chunk sizes of something like 64MB so that data can be efficiently streamed.

AirPlay is different from the desired functionality. It basically uses your mac as a remote speaker, instead of actually opening the music app on the computer and playing music there.

You can test this out quite easily: play any audio from your mac (YouTube, Apple Music, whatever) and then try to pause it on your watch. This is not possible.

Spotify Connect allows you to do this easily on the other hand.

You raise several points which I’ll try to address.

We did develop a surrogate model for this problem, see the narrative and references below eq. 1 of [1]. The surrogate is perhaps 10x faster than the full physics model. It was developed by a postdoc working with the science team and took a few months. (We needed a lot of science team expertise because they advised on what computations could be simplified and what parameters could be lumped together.)

We use the surrogate for various Monte Carlo analyses, parameter sweeps, etc. And for MCMC as described in [1]. All tasks that the full physics model is too slow for.

But the emulator, developed more recently, is much, much faster than the surrogate. It did not require as much science team expertise to develop, it was more of a data science problem than an integrated physics/data science task. So it was faster to put together.

The increased speed of the emulator means that all those parameter sweeps and MCMC inversions can be much broader in scope.

Furthermore, the emulator is somewhat generic. We have used the same approach in other spectroscopic contexts. E.g., [2], for imaging spectroscopy, and there is a still-unpublished infrared water-vapor/cloud sounder example.

It seems like generic emulation for a broad class of far IR to UV spectroscopy radiative transfer is possible, without needing problem-specific physical modeling expertise to find model simplifications. (We have direct access to this expertise, it’s just that those folks have their own research to do.)

So: faster than a surrogate, broad in scope, faster turnaround.

About error control. We’re using a Gaussian process with a learned kernel, so we do get error estimates out of the approach, if we want to use them. See under “kernel flows” at [3].

I do see some of what I would consider to be objectional viewpoints here (not to be confused with viewpoints that I simply disagree with). But it's also just about the only place I've found that has thoughtful discussion I find engaging (though, not all the time, of course). I have a very hard time finding anything of value on other websites. It's difficult even to find such engaging conversation with people in real life. So I guess I've just decided to take the good with the bad.
>And those 26 million dead, they all should suffer because Stalin signed the pact with Hitler?

Those 26 million dead suffered because Stalin signed the pact with Hitler.

>So you can wave away massive death -- justified?

Not at all, and I have never given any indication that I think so.

Those 26 million dead also shouldn't ever be cited by Soviets, or apologists for same, as some sort of hard-earned virtue or proof of nobility, yet they have been used for precisely such purposes for 80 years and counting. To return to my earlier analogy, that'd be like the criminal who survives the attack by his coplotter now calling himself a hero for having killed the attacker.

Really not. Most sentences can be easily rewritten without pronouns.

I do indeed have those six volumes of 1989. 1,700,000 copies; that is some number. But I doubt Steinbeck was pulled from libraries or wasn't published since 60s. Here's what I can see in 1970-1989 when I browse an online library catalog here:

1977: volume #183 in the famous "All-world literature" series
1981: two-volume selected works, Moscow
1985: selected works, Minsk
1986: selected works, Kishinev
1987: selected works, Moscow

I also see publications in multi-author volumes, a book of Steinbeck letters (1985), Steinbeck in Azerbaijan language (1983), a book about Steinbeck (1984). Maybe there was a cooler period toward him, but a ban is unlikely.
While this is true, and was a major advantage of LSTMs/GRUs, they still suffer from vanishing gradients.

On a tangent, I can see a connection between the concepts 'meme' and 'mime'. I suspect they both involve mirror neurons. Viral memes spread by being relatable.
Furthermore, the perception of the stock market has also evolved greatly since the 19th century. To first approximation, the more people believe in buy-and-hold, the more money gets invested, the more the stock market goes up. It's like a self-fulfilling prophecy.

It's not unlikely that Stalin would personally have been involved.

Steinbeck traveled to the USSR just prior 1948, writing A Russian Journal[1] which portrayed the Soviet Union in a moderately positive light. Given Steinbeck's fame and the extremely limited amount of travel US Citizens did the US at this time it's likely Stalin knew about it, and was aware of the showing of the film.

If you are looking for a document that says "Stalin ordered X" it's very unlikely it ever existed. That's not how dictatorships worked - instead someone in his circle would have quietly ordered it to stop being shown.

> Stealing source code and making it public isn't really helping anyone, most likely this is just an ego-inflation bragging exercise... A lot of these so-called hacktivists claim noble goals but then it later transpires to be down to other more selfish reasons,

There are a lot of ways a hacker can get attention and gain notoriety to inflate their ego. They could be causing harm to people, breaking things, causing chaos, and spreading lies. There are a lot of invisible whitehats around doing good out there. The evil stuff stands out a lot more. Responsibly reporting the data leak issue in that mental health app, and being willing to reveal the data about the no fly list to someone (if it feels they're the right someone), that all seems pretty good to me.

hacktivists are just people who try to make the world better through hacking. There's no requirement that they never do anything else for any other reason, or that they only ever hack for a really good cause, or that they never take any pleasure in the recognition they get for their actions or in what they've accomplished.

What's even the point in looking down on someone for doing good things in order to gain a positive reputation? Isn't that something we hope people will do?
