The pay will never increase because you need the master to hire you to become a master yourself. So they have so much power. You just have to suck it up when you're young and then capitalize on your master license later. That's one reason it won't easily change. The masters have the power and they are entrenched with it. Will the masters that sit on these state regulatory boards or however it works ever vote to decrease the requirements? No it would have to be a revolution or coup.

I believe the idea is that for as long as you still have 1 device signed in you can recover it by using one of the codes.
FTA: "A quintessential cognitive task used to measure human working memory is the n-back task. In this study, task variations inspired by the n-back task are implemented in a NWN device, and external feedback is applied to emulate brain-like supervised and reinforcement learning. NWNs are found to retain information in working memory to at least n = 7 steps back, remarkably similar to the originally proposed “seven plus or minus two” rule for human subjects"

Hm, so is the physical design of the device, having been modeled after human, imply the design of synapse networks is going to be limited as much as the human "device"? Are there other species with better n-back performance?

I disagree with this sentence.

Oh I'm 100% sure ChatGPT can do it brilliantly, I just suspect that most of the people trying to be 'AI influencers' (i) actually enjoy coming up with middlebrow takes on AI, reading others' middlebrow takes on AI and monitoring their timeline for retweets and (ii) lack the tech skills to set the ChatGPT API up to tweet on their behalf...

You misunderstand. I have no interest in being an employer (been there, done that, got the useless equity). I'm an employee now because it's the easiest way to reach my goal. Once I reach it, I can finally stop building things that don't really matter in the grand scheme of things, and instead focus 100% on improving humanity's chances (as opposed to the 20% I manage now).
What smilliken said. Essentially, with a single flake.lock file, you get build determinism, which is huge. Docker cannot guarantee that... which is, in fact, why distributing Docker images is a thing, instead of just distributing and composing Dockerfiles.

If Dockerfiles were guaranteed to succeed, and Docker hosted a cache of hashed binaries instead of a cache of Docker images (the former is far more efficient than the latter, btw), then all you'd need are Dockerfiles.

Enter Nix (and its flake.nix/flake.lock files).

Nix essentially solves a problem that Docker can't by treating a build as an immutable function with binary-hashed inputs and binary-hashed dependencies and completely controlled environment variables (with a few exceptions and special cases)
> Incremental compilation is trivial due to each mapping having a single input and output, with the output file name being known before it is generated.

If the build system only knows about a single input (the .c file), how do you deal with rebuilding when header files have changed?
I agree with this. Screen sharing is a very effective way to transfer knowledge — I have had a lot of success by hopping onto a screen share and walking others through things. There is lots of room for questions and they can record/review the meeting too.

However, this requires a culture where impromptu calls are expected and normalized. The more friction there is from scheduling, waiting for people to respond, etc the less likely these kind of fast information transfer sessions are to happen.

Tldr, I think people can learn very effectively in a remote environment, it just requires that people put the same kind of time into communicating that they would in an office.
Some of the stuff you listed under “in-store analytics” is more like “in-store statistics”, the kind of privacy problems addressed by this bill/proclamation don’t seem related to analyzing CCTV footage to optimize store layout or determine which products are popular, and it doesn’t seem like either the reporting or the politicking here is concerned with that. If they are then taking that information and trying to tie it to an identity based on credit card purchases, I do agree that’s gross and I wouldn’t object very hard if governments tried to stop that from happening (though I’m skeptical that facial recognition is doing much of the work in this paradigm, and I’m also skeptical that it works at all - most of this “know your customer” stuff is compelled by regulatory compliance, and the other stuff that is sold as improving conversion tends to be vaporware that fails to materialize real benefit).

>If an image … is used in the process to identify a person, then you are doing facial recognition

This is an easy definition of facial recognition that is very hard to ban! Police departments are doing facial recognition to catch criminals by this definition, and I don’t mean this in some narrow technical “well actually” sense: I mean that e.g. detectives in metro cities are given large binders of face pictures of many pickpockets and other criminals, they study these faces and train to recognize them in a crowd, and they go out in public aiming to recognize them. But my point was not that facial recognition is hard to define, my point was that “facial recognition technology” and “private facial recognition databases” and “predictive policing” are weird categories or distinctions to make.

This display offers a simple API to build applications for it:

It's black-and-white, but dithering allows to show surprising detail and it brings its very own old-school aesthetic.

The API doesn't require any special knowledge about e-paper displays, it just expects an image URL in the correct resolution and will then render it to the display.

An app can be made public, such that other people who own the display can install it as well.

> You should only consider going for a lockless algorithm if you can prove it is better than just using a mutex.

This is true for all optimizations: optimizations should be chosen based on profiling, not based on reasoning about the programs. Reasoning can give you ideas of what to profile, but modern programs, including the environments in which they run, are complex enough that you can never really be sure that the assumptions you're basing your reasoning on are true.

So I fully agree with this, but I have some questions about the rest of your post.

> Mutexes are very cheap in the uncontended case, and in the contended case they have some nice properties. Sometimes lockless algorithms are in fact slower than algorithms using locks, as things like atomic compare-and-exchange instructions can have a significant cost.

My (very limited) experience in this area is mostly with optimistic lock-free algorithms, so maybe there's something that I'm missing. But my understanding of optimistic lock-free algorithms is that they make use of the idea that the uncontended case is the most common case, and try to optimize that case heavily. On Intel processors, a compare-and-exchange operation should literally be a single instruction (CMPXCHG[1]). So I'm wondering how the uncontested case using a mutex could be seen as a positive?

> Another problem with lockless is that you can't turn every algorithm into a lockless one, it's actually only a handful of them that are practical to implement locklessly.

How could "you can't turn every algorithm into a lockless one" could be true? It seems to me that you can "simulate" an atomic compare and swap using mutexes--although I can't find a reference easily, I believe this is what GCC's __sync_X_compare_and_swap does on architectures which don't have a compare-and-exchange instruction. Likewise you can implement a mutex fairly easily using a compare-and-swap operation.

Whether this is practical would of course depend on the situation--implementing a mutex in terms of compare-and-exchange or vice-versa are likely not the optimal ways to implement either. But it seems to me that if compare-and-exchange and mutexes can be implemented in terms of each other, isn't that a trivial proof that any mutex algorithm can be implemented as a lock-free algorithm and vice-versa?

Yes, that is common practice for some athletes. The Garmin Connect platform has pretty good privacy controls which allow users to hide activities or mask tracks near certain locations. Of course if Garmin gets hacked then all of the raw data could be exposed, but the same concern applies to smartphone platforms as well.
> For city driving, I charge at home for around 1/3 the cost per mile compared to filling a comparable ICE vehicle with a poisonous combustible liquid.

That's all the person you originally replied to says about cost. You emphasize ALWAYS and use the keyword operate, but you've self inserted the extreme always condition and ignore what operate means.
This calculation amplifies any noise present in the values of the function, often to the point of the output being unusable. There are many methods that can be used to approximate derivatives, depending on the problem. Just as we shouldn't try to invent our cryptographic methods from scratch, we should take advantage of the extensive knowledge already in use for numeric methods.

I've seen naive numeric methods cause everything from jerky motion in video games to incorrect navigation data for cars.
For that, I recommend reading the book House of Bush, House of Saud : The Secret Relationship Between the World's Two Most Powerful Dynasties [0]. The short answer to your question is: money, oil and corruption. The Vice President's official salary was about 10% of his annual income (from the company he was CEO of) that he still received as VP.

The administration devoted a huge amount of effort into convincing the public (both domestic & foreign) that the House of Saud had nothing to do with 911 and that some other random bad guy just happened to be responsible for it all. Like one of those old Bond movies where the Head Villain looks the the henchling who failed directly in the eyes, then saying "this is what we do to failures, then turns and kills the guy standing next to him.

>> Isn’t that just Make?

> Yep! But what if we add mappings and collections?

These are called pattern rules in make:

https://www.gnu.org/software/make/manual/html_node/Pattern-R...

This is the best resource I've found on make to get a low friction build system up and running. Some parts are a bit dense if you're relatively new to make or used to someone else setting it up for you, but if you have the gnu make manual side-by-side for reference you should be good to go:

https://make.mad-scientist.net/papers/advanced-auto-dependen...

If you've ever been frustrated with how time consuming it is to manually write make rules then the above method will probably be a night-and-day difference from what you're used to.

I'd also strongly suggest either disabling builtin implicit rules with -r or reading up on all of them here:

Yes I can't really think of any electrical job around the house that I could not do myself. Calling in an electrician to change an outlet is expensive because such trivial work is boring and they don't really want to do it. Sort of like hiring a senior developer to change a heading on a web page. So they charge a lot. They also have to cover the cost of travel to and from the house, even to change a $5 wall outlet.

> to guess what objects you're dealing with

I don't understand, why are you guessing? Do you mean the parent objects of things you've written? Like ActiveRecord, etc. I would think that mental overhead is the same in any web+CRUD+ORM type of framework.
Keep in mind that PC sockets have very little memory bandwidth. Even the fancy new AM5 socket with DDR5 and the "recommended" overclocking to DDR5-6000 leaves you with 96GB/sec. Even the lowly RX 6400 has a dedicated 128GB/sec, which isn't trying to keep any CPU cores happy. Doubling the CUs requires double the bandwidth that brings you up to 256GB/sec, almost as much as the new Intel Xeons (307GB/sec) with 8 channels of DDR5-4800 memory.

So basically this is why Intel/AMD iGPUs stink, and why Apple's do not. Apple give you a choice of 100, 200, and 400GB/sec in a laptop and 400 or 800GB/sec in a desktop.

The issue is "on the job" training. Law, medicine, accounting, plumbing, welding, electrical, civil engineering all requires a certain amount of "working hours" measured in months and years before they let you take the certification/licensing exam. You can't always do it yourself and stay compliant with regulatory codes. This is a big problem because it allows existing players to exploit and play gatekeeper. Get rid of this requirement and many labor shortage issues will sort itself out. Don't allow institutions to be the gatekeeper. The certification exams are sufficient.

For this specific device, my wish is a Windows-compatible OS that's going to shut up and stay out of the way, and it seems the LTSC variant of Win10 is the closest Microsoft are willing to provide at the moment.

That LTSC doesn't come with Edge, Cortana or the Windows Store, well that's just the icing on the cake.

The Sun Ra Arkestra is _still touring_ -- https://www.sunraarkestra.com

I've seen them three times, the last just six months ago. They're the best live band I've ever seen, and I've seen a lot of music. Marshall Allen is nearly 100 years old, and he still melts faces when he stands up with his sax. They are the tightest, freest, clearest, most incomprehensible band I've ever seen. One moment they're doing a jazz standard, perfectly clean as glass; the next moment they're tripping right off the rings of Saturn.

If you care about music, make a special effort to see these cats.
