I think you're imagining the ID thief going to the bank and withdrawing your money from your bank account (which probably happens too). I also think your analogy of a "friend" isn't right... you are the bank's PAYING customer... you pay them to secure your money and only give it to you! If they fail to provide the service they're offering to you... seems like they ought to be responsible for their failure.

But another, more common scenario here is that I convince the bank that I'm you and get a credit card or loan from the bank. Now the bank is knocking on YOUR door asking you to pay them back for the cash they handed to some random person... but they're the ones who messed up by giving cash to a random person and not verifying that they are who they say they are!

You aren't really involved... the bank messed up by going "Oh you say you're Bob? Okay here you go!" Why is it your fault that they failed to accurately verify the identity of the person they gave THEIR money to? You didn't play any role in them deciding who to give their money, nor in their ID verification procedures.
You can do all except for the specialization in Rust for matrix + vector. You can do more in Rust about re-using temporaries (when one parameter to Add/Mul/... is a move). But you can't do arbitrary dimensional tensors or specialization for certain sizes in Rust. Also: Didn't know Eigen has tensor support now. I'm not actually very into this stuff, just recently played around what is possible in Rust in that context (and ran into compiler bugs in nightly).
Tell that to the entire tech sector pre-2020.

When somebody asks for an order in writing, it's patently clear that the trust has already been broken, and irreversibly so. Nobody asks for that from a position of trust.
Compared to what? Relative to other nuts and seeds? To other common ground crops? To fruits?

I've never heard that pistachios are low water crops and I find that hard to believe. They're one of the highest blue water consumers in their class; water in rivers, lakes and aquifers [1]. Pistachios are not low water. They're drought tolerant and do well in arid climates but to fruit naturally they need a really good year of water. OR irrigation which we've done in abundance.

Most E2E systems require some sort of long term identity key with the other person(s), I assume MLS is the same? (this is a good thing IMHO)

If so, I would really like this to be flexible enough to say derive or pull a key from PGP, and/or a verifying service/website (such as Keybase). I'd really like to move away from "Your cell phone number is your identity" to a "a cryptographic primitive is your identity".

> However discussing a function and talking about splitting in into small (infinitesimal) strips of delta quantities and a list of equations / proofs made it completely dry and uninteresting.

This was exactly my experience as well. I spent almost an entire first semester with a C average, mostly because I couldn't grasp what I was doing or why I was doing it. I still remember my "Eureka!!!" moment of sitting in the school library and working on a series of problems about water escaping a pool through an every-widening hole in the side. At that point, it all made sense, and I a) finished with mostly A's and b) was the only one in my class to score a 5 on the AP test later that year. I eventually went on to major in EE with a focus on Signals Processing (including grad school), so I always find it ironic that I went from not getting it all, to basically 8 straight years of nothing but Calculus.
Why should it be in linear algebra? You mean as in doing linear algebra with functions in infinite-dimensional spaces? What I recall mostly (not) learning from linear algebra were various classifications of matrices and their properties (which made very little sense to me at the time too).

I'm not exactly sure where FT should belong in the math syllabus. It's heavily related to trigonometry of course but it is an integral transform, so needs a bit of calculus. Although discrete versions are probably easier to grasp with just multiplications and sums, and there is quite rarely much actual integrating as in find-the-closed-form-antiderivative going on.

Maybe trying to have too "unified" syllabus for engineers/scientists is not the best way in practice. Instead there could be more discipline-specific teaching (something TFA hints to too). With ML (and 3D graphics earlier) something like this seems to be happening to linear algebra. The "mathy" linear algebra (that I studied at least) is mostly about properties and decompositions of (complex) matrices, but in ML/3D engineers very rarely use such things (but do need stuff outside "traditional" linear algebra like tensor products, projective coordinates and rotation groups).
Your comparison is interesting. I've only worked in government (US military, but also with many federal civilians), where we've all internalized the notion that we're incompetent in every way compared to the private sector. But I could see your observation being a function of:

1. More managers and senior leaders "coming up through the ranks." A lot of people in government have been in the same agency or office for decades, so there's a lot of institutional knowledge that I suspect doesn't (even can't) exist in private companies. At least in the US DoD, it seems very rare to bring in people "off the street" through lateral entry for management jobs. People need clearances and institutional knowledge that they can only get by spending time working their way up.

2. Many things are pretty well specified in laws, policies, doctrine, etc. There's a way to do them, and the people directing and doing them both know what it entails.

The downside of these things is the institutional inertia and bureaucracy for which we're famous.
From that picture[1] they look _tiny_! My cubicle was at least 30 sqft. Had an extra chair for a coworker to sit down during a consult and could hold upto to 4 people standing. It was a small office, not a phonebooth.

Yes, you are misreading. Diamond jewellery has one or very few stones which makes for a clean look. Moissanites are cheap so pieces featuring them usually look like pimped out rides.

Me, personally, I would give my GF the amount in stocks but I wouldn't buy either pearls or diamonds. Both are a total rip-off.
Pizza parties of course /s
I agree with you; I think it's because of 2 things.

1. De Heer der Ringen sounds very formal. It's because of both the choice of "Heer", which is a literal translation of Lord but is more commonly used to describe an old, respectable man. (The connecting word of "der" only adds to it, given "der" isn't often used nowadays.)

2. "In de ban van X" also nicely doubles as a Dutch saying; being in de ban of something means being enthralled by it. Which fits well with the overall motive of temptations that the ring provokes in those around it.
These are manufactured in the US? (In Boise Idaho I think).
You're right but usually there is a spread for any transaction and so the government could step back in and define a safe spread (something high like 20%) or the crazy (but efficient) option would be to allow the owner to define the spread.

There would be a tax rate on the value and a different tax rate on the spread (possibly zero if the spread is set by the government)
1) Investors in the company are also investors in CRE. So they pressure the company into this BS

2) Municipalities give all sorts of tax breaks and incentives to companies, but only if people are in person helping the local economy.
AV1 was built with extraordinary care to make sure it didn't use any patents, to try to build a free & clear open technology for sharing video.

In other words, they keep cargo-culting it, claiming responsibility for the wins and blaming staff, the economy, etc. for the losses.
The OP responded so seems to understand the link between what you've written and their point #2, but I don't see how it addresses point #2. Point #2 to me seems to be about prioritization of work tasks, and the need for a manager to appropriately prioritize anything they ask for within the context of everything else the worker is doing.
I used to live in one in North Hollywood after I moved out from my parent's house in 1997. They focus on the utilitarian aspect, but they often had courtyards and a pool.

The new standards for cheap living, the 5 over 1 apartments are more packed in and don't often have pools.
Yeah, like I said it has obvious practical problems when applied to things like primary residence so I don't think it would actually be a workable system for replacing existing property taxes.
I see this tragedy every day I wake up and from my living room window I see hundreds of cars waiting at the traffic light(s).

This wasn't the case during covid, of course, and also during the beginning of post-covid.

It seems all is behind us. Not sure what the value of all this is, except for some people telling others how they have to live life.

This is a person openly framing the question of whether or not to let other people become our neighbors as a question of whether or not those people are "valuable" and "strategic" enough "resources."

US culture is nearing the end game of marketizing all relationships. Pretty soon we will bring back brideprice and slavery. After all, it's good for the "economy" (as defined by the profits of an artisanal chocolate factory in rural Vermont).

It can be simultanenously true that it was a hit piece by Economist, and that there is a real problem regarding lead in turmeric which will now not be solved.

The title in the Economist was "How to stop turmeric from killing people?" which suggests that the problem is turmeric (suggesting hit piece), not lead, while the text tells a different story. But many people will only remember the title.
So I imagine phase difference can be a serious issue, or at least something that needs to be mitigated and monitored continuously (evidently). I'm assuming a DC power network intrinsically solves this (in case of solar energy).

But how would current and voltage be stabilized in that case? Just huge capacitors? Chemical batteries?
Decreasing the DDR5 transfer rate from 4800 MHz to 4400 MHz may provide a minuscule improvement in Intel's CPU die yields, supposing that their manufacturing process is bad and it barely allows to reach the standard 4800 MHz frequency, which might be justified as allowing lower prices for the low-end SKUs.

The users certainly do not want such a speed reduction, especially taking into account that they will usually buy standard DDR5-4800 modules, which will never be used at the performance that they have been paid for.

It is very unlikely that the manufacturing cost reduction due to a relaxed specification for the memory controller is important. Cutting whatever features they could in the cheap SKUs, to annoy the customers (like disabling instruction subsets, and in Sapphire Rapids disabling the accelerators), has been the MO of Intel already for decades.

privacy forward hardware for the sensors.
But i am assuming all input to the model can be used for training? Just as it is current standard for any AI assistant?
So my conversations, my calendar every thing will be open to one entity. Otherwise it would not be able to condense them into a summary. i dont have privacy anymore if the entity reads everything. Even if my friends do not consent to their texts being fed into the AI as input.
This is a privacy issue for me, regardless of me allowing it to activate camera or microphone. Nothing stops a hacker with access to query the entity to spit out all users that have a depressed sentiment analysis of their texting history etc...
> What can we expect students to get out of an elementary course in differential equations? I
reject the “bag of tricks” answer to this question. A course taught as a bag of tricks is devoid of
educational value. One year later, the students will forget the tricks, most of which are useless
anyway.

That's exactly how I was taught differential equations 20 years ago. And as expected I have totally forgotten all of them. I do wish I'd gotten some deeper lessons from it. Even a concept or two that stuck with me would be better than remembering I learned a bunch of math tricks a long time ago that I can no longer do.
High Performance Software Foundation
The OP doesn't state not to review code anymore. I think the most common process is something like:

feature branch -> review -> merge intro trunk -> release to prod

This is simplified, somewhere in between those stages is often automated test, release to staging server, feature toggles, etc. But lets omit those from consideration. Now the proposed way of working would be:

feature branch -> merge intro trunk -> review -> release to prod

You still have the same checks, you just change the order. Trunk could be broken more often, bringing velocity down. You'd have to organize review in a different way, which might be complicated. But the same checks would be there.
That's a reliable indication that currently intelligence is socially defined. Learning how social definitions replicate, and evolve is going to reveal the levers of change more than debating about definitions themselves. What I'm saying is that social engineering is 90% of the game here.
Yes, but the top brass are racking in tens of millions.
Sadly, even when self hosting a large video delivery platform, it doesn't get that much cheaper. Once you get past X GB per month the ISPs will hit you badly and you start needing CDNs across the world to keep costs manageable.
Thanks for checking it out.

I built it primarily for my own use since WearOS doesn't offer a lot of good public transit apps.

I opened sourced it since I don't really feel like publishing it on the Android store. I hope others can learn from it!
I think the key in the original sentence is: "indigenously developed".

Though given the talent for engineering we're currently seeing from Ukraine, I'm not sure that Russias nuclear weapons where not developed by Ukrainians.

Anyway, the point is that those three countries gave up weapons develop and produced by the Soviet Union, not internally in those countries solely.

If you feel the need to drill down, skipping levels to ask what the people in the weeds are doing, you are probably micro-managing and should start working at a higher level.
Belarus got some of them back this summer.
AMD does have a history of spinning their wheels on the software side. Not graphics specifically (anymore), but definitely with their compute initiatives like HSA or even OpenCL.

I dunno what to think about ROCm. It does seem like they should have thrown the MI300 into the mix, but maybe its not ready.
Unless it's multipart or otherwise complex, then the person asking just wants to make sure they didn't forget everything important. I've asked this on more than one occasion and I think it's clear that I'm asking so I don't forget anything (and have sometimes made this explicit).
Same experience with their Nest acquisition. Google bought a good product just to slowly kill it off.
As an aside, one of the most stunning proofs of how successful the European Union is happened with the grid. On 8 January 2021, the synchronous area of Continental Europe split into two, the system separation resulted in a deficit of power (approx. -6.3 GW) in the North-West Area and a surplus of power (approx. +6.3 GW) in the South-East Area,

The reaction speed was something to behold. The event happened at 14:05 CET, at 14:09 CET the Transmission System Operators (TSOs) were in teleconference but by then some 1.7GW capacity in France and Italy was dropped and 420 MW and 60 MW was activated in the Nordic and Great Britain. Customers barely felt it: only 70 MW in the North-West Area and 163 MW in the South-East Area were disconnected. By 15:08 the event concluded.

Yes, there was a mistake in the processes which led to the event in special circumstances but , I believe , the respected readers of HN know this all too well , the big question is what happens when an emergency hits. And those processes held up spectacularly.
>Just come to grips with the fact you're participating in the sale of my (or whoever's) private data. Hope you sleep well!

What an uncharitable response in that it forecloses on the original commentator even explaining their argument better or clarifying. I mean what? Fuck a bit more honest debate and just jump to pre-assumed moral judgement?
Current CPU vector instruction sets are as good as the ones on GPUs and they also have tensor/matrix instructions comparable to the ones on GPUs.

However, usually CPUs don't have enough cores and execution units to compete with GPUs, because they spend the transistors on out-of-order execution, cache and other features instead.

Intel Larrabee was the only attempt to actually make a CPU with a GPU-sized vector unit and they dropped it.
The idea is becoming intellectually independent, arriving in the stage of self-pedagogy if you like. Peer learning when there's the chance.

You can't realistically expect that there will always be someone up the ladder to explain things to you. I mean, who explains stuff to the professors if it worked like that?

I've been a Rails dev for a long time. I've tried a bunch of things and keep coming back to it for the same reasons as you. I'm incredibly productive in it.

For the longest time, my primary complaint has been a lack of documentation/conflicting information when you break from convention. It can be extremely challenging to find/understand the "blessed" way of doing things. Thankfully, ChatGPT is extremely good at providing a starting point for this stuff.
How would that work in Rust?
Enforcing something like this puts a lot of, IMO, undue pressure on the devs and signals that some reviewers are trying to skirt their responsibilities of being accountable for the code base.

With unreviewed code, you can more easily point fingers at someone else. Even if there's no need for that, when it is time to update the code base again, now only one person is familiar with the code, so others are less likely to take it on.
Some places will just be bad, that's fine.

They may survive as orgs, especially if its just one weak limb in a larger basically competent organization, or if they serve a sufficiently non-competitive niche where being efficient isn't a particularly important goal.

NASA is an organization where the outside incentives prioritize a particularly high level of safety in engineering, the US Naval Nuclear program has outside incentives that force both high efficiency/readiness and high safety, my local coffee shop closes sometimes because they run out of cups.

Organizations are shaped by the incentives that support them. If there's no particular reason (or, indeed, if there is any room at all to survive) for an organization to be efficient or timely, it won't be.
This sounds so obvious that I see no downside. The a very good estimate of the value of a property is the price it last sold for.

How often have you used them. It's been decades for me as well, but I still remember how to solve basic linear differential equations as I needed to use them often (in other courses).
I thought the backlash was a bit greedy by the devs? Unity is a great tool that you don't really pay for compared to foundational software in other verticals? It was like installs over 1 million (so over 1 million in revenue), which functionally netted out to about 10k - 20k per company. That seems... OK?
