I agree that car safety and regulations (and probably even more importantly, replacing car trips with safer modes of transport wherever possible) are more pressing than submarine safety regulations, but why does one preclude the other? We should have both.

HTML is internally consistent. The atom of HTML is the tag. It makes it easier to remember and to learn new ones. Markdown is composed of arbitary punctuation which is harder to remember.

For making something bold, there's low friction in wrapping it in asterisks compared to the HTML version. It's fast, easy and works.

For making a link, the friction is higher because you have to remember the link/text order, and the link/text punctuation. There's a what, one in four chance of getting it right if you haven't memorised it? It always trips me up and I have to go and look it up.

Whereas a link in HTML is pretty much the same format as everything else in HTML.

I think Markdown excels for short or limited things that consist of headings, lists and inline formatting, like blog-posts and comments and ReadMes, but I find it doesn't scale well.
I’m curious about the actual message passing implementation(s) here - there’s a lot of “CS passes a message to all the GSs” - what’s that look like? Is it a general pubsub system? Did they roll their own? What’s the actual machinery here?
The timeshare pitch companies for example who call you 15 times a day are another great example. Fucking hell, I can't believe timeshares themselves are legal.

Auto warranty scams.

Health insurance scams.

Medicare scams.

Solar company scams (whatever that scam actually is about; not sure).

And so on, and so forth... Basically every company that cold calls you constantly that's not people trying to steal your bank account or credit card info.
From the paper:

Corollary 1. Given a ReLU network N : Rn → Rm, the shallow
network S : Rn → Rm of depth L = 3, as specified in the proof
of Theorem 1, has width bounded by
max{2n + k, 2n + p, 2 · p · m}

I think p might be the number of layers but I'm not sure and I'm sure about k at all.

So it they might be claiming a pretty tight bound in on weights.
> More than 4 hours of that in a day and I'm ruined

That is quite impressive and probably better than average for an engineer.

If I have a 1 hour meeting at 1pm, I’ll be fried for the rest of the day. It’s a weakness for sure, but I don’t think there’s anything I can do about it other than work for companies that have minimal meetings. Companies with established meeting cultures will do anything except reduce the number of meetings you need to attend.
My guess: its a tactic designed to embolden the enemy and keep them committed to a failing strategy.

Bakhmut was a meat grinder, but as long as the hope of victory could be kept alive in the Ukrainian army, they would keep sending their troops to slaughter. So we got all of these videos about chaos & ammo running out on the Russian side. And the Ukrainians obligingly poured manpower into an almost-perfectly-surrounded killbox. Saw how that turned out.

I'd bet its the same deal with the current offensive, which has been similarly ruinous for Ukraine.

You're right, I was reading a sister thread that was talking about Rust and lost the plot.
I wonder if slack engineering and it's users would benefit from tick/queue based messaging vs real time. Say messages are only exchanged every minute.
This gets attention because it’s a unique and horrific way to die. Car accidents are boring and routine. Being instantly compacted into ice cube sizes by Poseidon evokes all kinds of narratives about mankind’s hubris and whatnot and is tied up with the entire history of Titanic itself. It’s a lightning rod for popular interest that some senators will try to latch onto to wedge themselves in the minds of the voting public.
Pressure at 330ft (aka 100m, way way shallower than Titanic depths) is 10 atmospheres higher than what it is at the surface. Even at 50k feet (higher than most planes operate) air pressure is still > 0.1 atmospheres.

Titanic depths are around 380 atmospheres pressure. So equivalent to the difference of about 133,700 feet and sea level.
> it's sampling from similar text which is distributed so-as-to-express a thought by some agent;

Your hypotheses 1 and 2 are not so different when you consider that the similarity function used to match text in the training data must be highly nontrivial. If it were not, then things like GPT-3 would have been possible a long time ago. As a concrete example, LLMs can do decent reasoning entirely in rot13; the relevant rot13'ed text is likely very rare in their training data. The fact that the similarity function can "see through" rot13 means that it can in principle include nontrivial computations.
My understanding is their “Blackbird” model is meant to be the lower priced model, though Raptor acknowledges the whole line was never going to be mass market; rather, a well made and open computer for those who want full custody over a “modern”/current desktop or server platform.
He was friends with one of the men who died, and is a recognized expert in both deep sea submersibles and diving to the Titanic specifically. He might not need to blame himself, but it's natural that he'd wonder "should I have raised more awareness of the danger?"
That's like $100/song/year, right? Doesn't seem that crazy to me imho.
On one hand it feels like a psyop, trying to get people to react, but on the other hand, the amount of incompetence in the Russian military makes me genuinely wonder if this is a legit coup attempt.

It's been like watching a badly written tv show.
I think those that were using CentOS for stability would do well to switch to Debian Stable. It will give more users and testers to the Debian project, which can only help to grow the Linux community (as scattered as it may be). I know there were a lot of sysadmins that used CentOS because they understood the system enough not to need support from Red Hat and RHEL.
Even 5 lbs a month per family seems extremely conservative. My family of two, not four, goes through more like 15-20 lbs of chicken a month.

a reference from the judge and the bar just knowing about it are very different.
It's not thankless if you have solid engineers and engineering managers. And if you don't have those things (at least somewhat), they're liable to make a complete mess of things regardless of how good your high-level design is. Good macro engineering vision can't be realized without good micro engineering.
I might be misunderstanding what you're saying, but Debian Stable has LTS versions, which will give you your stable system for a longer period of time.
Direct funding is even worse. Why would Italy fund a German rocket startup? It seems money could only come from the respective state itself, not via ESA.

AOL existed outside of America.

my fondest memories as a would-be computer hacker in the early-noughts was sitting in a BT phone box in the UK at 3am using the lineman opcode for free local calls to connect to my nearest AOL pop, so I could use one of their trial CDs with a fabricated or stolen credit card (I deactivated the trial before the first payment, I was not a total thief).

Reading this article leaves me confused about what Oceangate was even trying to achieve.

As I read, James Cameroon had been to the Titanic wreck 33 times. So that means, others have gone there as well. He has even been to the Marina trench. It is even mentioned that deep submergence diving is a mature art.

As per CNN, even back in 2001, people went to the Titanic to get married. And they were able to go there for around $31K.

So why was Oceangate trying to rebuild something that seemed like a solved problem. Why not just stand on the shoulders of existing giants and leverage existing sub designs that have been there.

I came out of college with a (not computer) engineering degree, and went into software. I totally flunked a software interview one time early in my career because they asked me how to implement "a real-time clock UI," and I spent the whole time asking questions trying to understand what they meant by "real-time," rather than just implementing a basic clock UI with 4 numbers, a colon, and a 1-second timer updating the UI, and calling it a day.

I use both in SQL regularly and without any problem, done so for decades. The problem is if you're actually implementing something then those rules you informally understand suddenly start to look less obvious when you try to write them down. Even SQLite got it wrong:

The Next Phase of Eleventy: Return of the Side Project
You shouldn't expose any of these cameras, high end or low end, to the internet. You shouldn't even trust them on the same VLAN as the rest of you computers or phones. That mitigates security issues.
I think this is a very interesting question, and I'd love to see a concise explanation.

To directly answer "is the federal government preventing controlled burns?" They will definitely prevent controlled burns during the dry season. More, they have to fund doing the burns. Story I saw linked earlier was https://www.npr.org/2021/08/09/1026137249/with-extreme-fires.... https://www.fs.usda.gov/managing-land/prescribed-fire is about as far as I got on my quick dive looking for details on how to run a controlled burn. I don't see an obvious link for seasons that they run these burns.

This story, ultimately, is about finding a way to insure private run large scale burns. The state built up an accredited set of associates, now they are leveraging them to try and make an insurance market for limiting liability.

(At least, that is my read of the situation. There is definitely a ton of talking past each other in this topic.)
The result in the paper is not an approximation result. The shallow network is of bounded width and is exactly equal to the deep one.
Instead of targeted regulation specific to submarines, I would look at the laws around legal liability and depth of disclosures. That would scale across many more types of activity rather than any single one.

1. Is what you're doing dangerous?

2. Did you tell your customers about the danger?

3. Do they really understand the danger, including past incidents?

4. Is anyone else being harmed or are you just gambling your own life?

Even then, I would posit that this case probably passes this bar - OceanGate was quite clear in their waiver and there's a level of due diligence that a reasonable person spending 250K should be expected to make.

Why offload it to the host? If the CPU on the NVMe card is well documented then run the flash software on that.

The same goes for network offload features in ethernet controllers, make it an open architecture that you can write your own firmware for.
“Hacking back” is rooting an attacker when an attacker is actively within your systems.

It’s not owning an ex-employee’s personal accounts to rummage around in their files to “protect valuable IP.”

Of course that’s illegal, and for good reason. Can you imagine a world where executives were permitted to hack anyone they like based upon mere suspicion?

I am skeptical that someone with this professed level of technical sophistication didn’t know this was illegal while doing it.

Overall I am skeptical of prison sentences for CFAA violations, but this one comes awfully close to being justified.

Certainly the conviction was.
My neuro is still trying to figure out why I sometimes have seizures when trying to fall asleep or when I become deeply relaxed.

Cameron implies that the system did detect a crack in the hull, giving them at least a few minutes of warning.

Obviously, a few minutes isn't enough, but the point is that the occupants were likely aware something was wrong because of this system, as opposed to being vaporized without having enough time to comprehend their reality.

Also if you’re going to run a scam in business, think big. I saw a show about a guy running an illegal check cashing business worth $100M which the government swooped in and crushed. HSBC launders millions for cartels for years with official policies, no one even goes to jail. Once you’re in the 500M+ range your corruption is good to go.
It does not make a lot of sense. If I were Ukrainian military, I'd stop fighting and just waited for the enemy to tear itself apart, only then advanced.

On (2), I think there's some general policy discussions we should have around government spending rescuing people willing and knowingly doing obviously dangerous/stupid things.

Americans fucking around in North Korea or active war zones is another example that comes to mind.

I think that would be a better use of time than spinning up a 100-person government licensing program to regulate the 1000 people playing with submarines.
Yeah that's because of the inflammatory nature of a lot of topics of late unfortunately. That's a human problem and I don't think it's fixed with 'better censorship.'. It's fixed by people creating new subreddits or just not using the ones with over-zealous mods. Or updating the sub rules to indicate which speech is being moderated more clearly so people can judge accordingly.
Only because I mostly understand the language I'm working with. This is why I know about these problems.

I'd never just go to somewhere exotic and rely on it for anything significant based on my existing experience with these technologies.
Sure but your experience is proof of how different the experience was. You had to call into an AOL pop using POTS and use a trial CD and some proof of payment (credit card) to perform this action. I can send my friend/coworker in Japan a Slack invite to their email and they can get started chatting on their smartphone in a minute or two. As I said, how is any of this really different than my grandfather sending telegrams? Or his father sending mail through the post?

That was more marketing; the main biz model was to create enough buzz with the oil/gas industry to get bootstrapped and produce a product fleet of cheap subs for independent contractors to use for oil rigs.

in what ways?
Well even engineers can have seriously incorrect understanding of an issue, especially if it is many years out of date.

You’re argument seems to be based around economically feasibility, not technical issues, right? So then you will also agree that if green hydrogen radically dropped in cost, then you will agree that it will become a viable solution? Furthermore there will be subsidies going on, that will accelerate the process.

In fact, the problem might be that a combination of subsidies and cost reductions will drive the price to below $0/kg, causing market confusion:

https://www.spglobal.com/commodityinsights/en/market-insight...

That would be an interesting outcome and it will be interest to see how it ends up. But nevertheless, super-cheap green hydrogen should quickly refute the major arguments used against it. It is a process that mirrors what happened to wind and solar energy. They too have years of FUD followed by many skeptics who denied the possibility of cheap renewable energy. But that skepticism simply fell apart because basic economics overrule outdated opinions.
For the most part, that 90% of the development workforce is not working on solving a new and unique use case, but rather solving an already solved use case but for yet another walled garden (think Disney+, Amazon Prime Video, HBO Max, etc. or the analogous diaspora of fitness tracking apps).

The early 00’s “open standard” of web forum + eMule + VLC would still be light years ahead of Netflix&co. if it weren’t for how hard it’s been gutted by governments, copyright lobbies, ISPs and device/platform vendors through the years. Heck, the modern equivalent often still is (despite all the extra hoops), unless you are trying to watch the latest popular show in English.
Yes, as a European I an relate, and it's a bit sad.
Everyone has different tolerances for interruptions and context switching, and I’m really not sure this is something you can change. Sadly, few companies listen/adapt to their employee’s strengths/weaknesses. I would suggest looking for another job which is more suited to you.
But, like, I literally want to know why this is happening on a technical level. Notepad is Notepad. What the heck is it doing that makes it take so much longer? What would it take to get back to this level of responsiveness on a machine which has, let's say, 2gb of memory and an Intel atom chip, which is still a heck of a lot more than that NT machine was running on.
But realistically that isn't going to happen, so they have to convince the EU to pump money into it instead.
They did nothing other than layoff ten thousand+ ppl. How good do you think a balance sheet looks after that?
When an individual is prevented from freely expressing himself or herself, that is censorship, and such a person has been censored.

The medium or method of expression involved, and the rationale behind the suppression, are both irrelevant.

"Censored" is a very applicable term to use when an individual has been banned from an online discussion forum, and/or the content that he or she posted has been removed.
So in dreams you have conversations with yourself? Who are your Temporal? A researcher? Neurologist? Just a guy on the internet who reads a lot of comments?
Sure, if you want to look at it from that direction.
Other languages, however, use a different default semantic for parameter passing and simply wouldn't allow using a function/lambda/delegate that doesn't explicitly take 3 arguments as well.

JS interfaces are designed with the flexibility and semantics of the language in mind (no surprise there, really) and thus try to cover most use cases. If you don't need the index or the reference to the array in your function, ignore them (e.g. by using map(function(v) { ... })). Passing a function that actually supports more than one argument is by all accounts a layer 8 error and not a fault in the spec of map() IMO.

You could just as well argue that it's bad for parseInt() to accept one or two arguments instead of explicitly requiring both. You'd have to try and convince me why one is perfectly fine while the other is not. You can of course argue that both specs are crap, that'd at least be consistent :)
Can’t read this without thinking about the founders I know who started (and are still running) a successful unicorn. When they were founding this unicorn, they applied to YC and were rejected. Why, I’ll never know, but they’re both fairly immigranty and the cynical side of me wonders if the “social radar” didn’t like that about them. There’s a thin line between social radar and unconscious bias.
At least one engineer was fired after bringing up safety concerns to the CEO.
