According to Zuckerman's book, the Medallion fund has to be small because it would move the market too much with the types of trades it does if it was bigger. That is why they limited investment in it. The publicly available funds use different types of trades where this is less of a problem, and so the funds can be larger, but this reduces the return.

PATCH is supported in Braid, but only works for client->server. It does not support updates from server->client. So we need a way to express general updates, in both directions. Braid lets you use existing PATCH specs (as Patch-Type) if you want.

The PATCH specification also confounds multiple concerns (versioning, conflicts, validation, data formatting, applicable data types) into a single spec. It's nicer for these aspects to be modular and independent. Partial PUT happens to be already a modular, independent way to specify just the patch format, and can be extended to new data types by "Range Units." But use PATCH if you prefer!
Sounds imprrssive, but also overengineered? Don't headphones solve the same problem?

Though I guess in a hybrid meeting they'd make it harder to hear the people in the room. (But you'd hear them through the laptop, normally? I guess there would be an uncanny delay...)
All valid criticisms, i agree with all of them.

Some writers are more straightforward, like Hemingway, some more verbose like Asimov. The level of verbosity is on me, that's the amount of verbosity i like, if it is not good, it is not good.

Now if up-voters are bots or not, i don't know, but there will be a way to distinguish humans from bots on the internet. That's indeed a problem today, it's gonna be solved soon.

I will write a story about that particular problem in the future, it is on the works.
I can give several. Most of them are not Meet specific but how Meets integrates with rest of Google Products. This is actually overall massive problem with Google Workspaces in general IMO.

1) You can call someone in Teams. Sure, Google Chat has "Start Meeting now" but it's very passive. I know some will see this as negative but ringing has massive advantages around UX.

2) Chat, Teams will persist chat after meeting ends. In fact, depending on how you hold the meeting, it might dump the contents into chat channel so it's preserved in more open manner.

3) You can have visible meetings. You can start a meeting in a Teams chat channel so everyone can see the meeting is going on. It creates that in the office feeling of two people working on a whiteboard nearby that if topic interests you, you can join in.

4) Sharing Documents, Add Word Document to meeting, everyone is granted permissions. Done.

The fact so many Google Workspaces companies have Slack is just frustrating. You have these two products that barely talk.
California politics are already a meme. I just wish they would stay in California.
Even if you dislike markets as a mechanism, education is very tricky because it's very very expensive, and prone to important moral hazards when it's free.

Education is not inherently expensive. The student loan mechanisms are what allowed the vast expansion of colleges as capital intensive enterprises. You can find a multitude of discussion about how cheap both public and private education was in, say, the 1960s. And that was with primarily state/institutional regulation. Which is to say the student loans were moral hazard crack to compared to state regulation.

For most subjects, one needs an informed teacher, a class room and some books. Somehow this costs vast sums now. Guess why?
Straight to wasm is a good choice. You could get something close to a native binary by packaging the result with wasm3 or similar.
Pre-AI we had a system that watched user patterns and would identify possibly suspect patterns that were outside of the norm. We also had system that would content-id the images and attachments to see what was going uploaded in a general way. Given enough suspicion then the account would be opened to look for abusive patterns.

There is absolutely no promise on any cloud hosted services that a human will not ever see your data. However, at Google it was made very, very, VERY clear that if we had to scan somebody's personal email for any reason then discussion of the contents outside of legally mandated, or required for work ways would lead to immediate termination and possible lawsuit for any damages to reputation incurred.

While fixing user accounts, or dealing with delivery of content I saw epic piles of personal email. Besides the ones full of CASM or other abusive material I couldn't say that I ever remembered the contents 30 minutes later. Its like a checker at a grocery store. They don't care about whatever embarrassing tings your buying and won't remember you 10 minutes later. =)
Exploited how? He made a game for free, it’s hosted globally for free, and he decided to pay for ads to advertise his game. How in the world is that exploitation of a child or an adult?
I think because Meet is fully browser based, some of the features like sharing audio with screen are only available via chrome or chromium based browsers -- definitely not on Firefox in my own testing. I don't know the exact reason for that, but it's kind of sad.

"You can disparage the idea without the person."

Whether disparaging or promoting, naming the plan can be beneficial. It's pretty common to have multiple plans for the same topic/issue and calling out which one by the sponsor can differentiate it.
If they buy something becsuse it's a penny cheaper, who's really being tricked?
Well I'd hope that's a property of a specific meeting and not all meetings, but team weeklies where those not present want to catch up, and the recording is only going to those regular attendees (members of a specific Google Group)... sure, that's a thing we would like to have.
You will not eliminate bias as long as humans are involved in the decision making process. So it’s pretty trite to point it out like this.

A collection of humans making a collective decision compromising on everyone’s biases is called politics.

California has decided through a political process to take a step against speeding.

Now, you may not personally like it, but you are in no position to say they are wrong.

Applying Texas’ example as evidence of California’s objective mistakenness is also logically inconsistent. You did not state any conditions which may apply in Texas but not in California. You are equating the two in an all-else-remaining-equal fashion.

Looking at Figure 5, I'm reminded of a distinction I like to make between "cookbook" instruction and "textbook" instruction. The former is like the top of the figure: everything is fully in context, but also everything remains implicit, and it's up to the reader to suss out* the principles given a bunch of examples. The latter is like the bottom of the figure: major things are pulled out of context, explicitly so that their principles can be communicated, noninductively and clearly.

They seem to be designed differently. The business ones try to replicate a business meeting where someone talks at the front of the room, shows slides, and prompts for questions. Discord is more like a LAN party.
Enzyme is traditional, but super duper optimized, autodiff, that is, it returns the partial derivatives for one path taken through the program, ignoring other branches. DiscoGrad captures the effects of alternative branches. What's special about enzyme is that the gradient computations benefit from LLVM's optimization passes and language support.
Awesome! Several of my colleagues are working on differentiable physics simulations (mostly FEM type stuff for structural design optimization) so I’m excited to share this with them! They mostly work in Julia. My own experiments with auto-diff’d physics sims have been in Python (specifically, Taichi for the JIT/GPU acceleration or occasionally PyTorch/Jax).

Can you talk a little bit about the challenges of bringing something like what you’ve implemented to existing autograd engines/frameworks (like the ones previously mentioned)? Are you at all interested in exploring that as a mechanism for increasing access to your methodology? What are your thoughts on those autodiff engines?
If it worries you, maybe open an issue? No sane man would allow a weird license that's an API call away from screwing up your own products.

This is the sort of thing I expected to see when Chris Lattner moved to Google and started working on the Swift for Tensorflow project. I am so grateful that someone is making it happen!

I remember being taught how to write Prolog in University, and then being shown how close the relationship was between building something that parses a grammar and building something that generates valid examples of that grammar. When I saw compiler/language level support for differentiation, I the spark went off in my brain the same way: "If you can build a program which follows a set of rules, and the rules for that language can be differentiated, could you not code a simulation in that differentiable language and then identify the optimal policy using it's gradients?"

Best of luck on your work!

I own d810 and had d80 and d7100 in the past years. Their current lineup (bodies, mostly) just doesn't appeal to me - if I ever transition to mirrorless, it'd probably be Sony.
I get this except it tells me to do what I already did, and repeats my own code back to me.
I see it more like the voxels in the game "Comanche". So, a height map.

Voxel means "volume element", like a pixel means "picture element". A "pixel" in a height map is not an element of a picture but an element of a volume, so, a voxel.
I'm not sure I fully agree about youtube. Yes --- if you're fixing stuff, you end up having to watch youtube. But that's so bad, it's easy (for me) to continue to avoid it. Although, occasionally I do get pulled in to interesting looking videos. But when they start asking me to like and subscribe (which is often!), that's a good trigger to close the thing.
libgmail was the least of our problems. There was a Polish software team that wrote a bittorrent layer on top of Gmail. That thing was a pain in the butt as they constantly improved it to get around abuse filters and such. Plus it had parity bits so if we killed accounts it would just re-replicate the data to new accounts.. That software was devilish and impressive at the exact same time. =)
I don't buy it. This isn't the first crusade against raw milk. The previous attempts had nothing to do with bird flu. It's a bizarre thing to mobilize a nation-wide campaign against, yet it keeps happening.
Which handegg field size though? There is not just one standard. I think we should use the Canadian size, since they created it.
A large part of that seems to be because we filled middle management with "yes" men. The real concerns get candy coated before it ever reached the authorities. It also seems the people at the top actually believe their PR, like that a college education is the primary key to a good life.
>who cares about a technique for tracking total number of any items sold?

Pre-digital calculator salesmen? Time is money and being able to do a quick mental math can be helpful before doing a more detailed inventory

>you could then just divide by the price, you don't need to coerce the total into being a tally mod 100.

That's why they gave more than one reason. Why laser focus on criticizing a single one?

Popping the residential real estate investment bubble was probably the root cause behind the collapse in sales of cars, luxury goods, and other consumer products. A lot of consumers who had made highly leveraged investments on unoccupied apartments in "ghost cities" were sitting on significant paper wealth for a few years and felt comfortable spending money. Now that has largely evaporated.

Dotabuff was great. It shows stats for Dota 2 basically and hasn't changed much since I used it in like 2015.

yep.. And it would split uploads across dozens of accounts with parity so that if any account was disabled it could re-create the data from what was in the other accounts. (think bittorrent using imap uploaded content in gmail)
You can use any CRDT with Braid. Many of them prune history. In fact, we have developed the first pruning p2p text sync algorithm: braid.org/antimatter

Indeed, text sync requires old history to merge with old edits. However, Braid does not force you to hold everything. Peers can implement their own policies for deciding who to sync with. They can also ask each other for modules of old history they've forgotten if they realize they need it to merge something. This is made possible with the new Time Machine architecture that we are writing up.

This architecture also allows you to sync at multiple time resolutions -- realtime, fine grained, or slower, course grained -- within the same system. Different peers can hold and share at different resolutions. And they can all guarantee consistency with each other in the end. See the recent simpleton algorithm work for an example.

That's interesting. So UC was 2x as expensive in 2000 than SUNY was in 1990. That made me go dig up the fee schedule at https://www.ucop.edu/operating-budget/_files/fees/201415/doc...

From that page, it looks like in 1990 the UC tuition was $864/semseter, and the min. wage was $3.80/hr. So it was roughly the same affordability as the SUNY system at that time (except for the gigantic UC student services fee that was more than tuition -- we didn't have that, and kept voting against D1 athletics to keep it that way).

Going the other way, SUNY tuition was $3,400 and the min wage was $5.15 in 2000. That puts us 1/2 way to the rates we have today.

So something clearly happened in the 1990s that raised tuition in multiple states. You can see that in the (SUNY) chart here (https://www.buffalo.edu/provost/oia/facts-publications/factb...) where there were 2 huge tuition increases (over 25% each) in the 1990s.
We shouldn’t try to replicate the experience of people in the vast majority of history. We should try to replicate the experience of the in-group of the US from like 1950-2000. The quality of life for the in-group during the era was anomalously high, and also the US of that were was an incredibly effective country.
It's a small form of security, and we've traditionally traded some convinence and efficiency to mitigate theft.
"doomed to fail"

Its definitely doomed to fail if CEOs want you to think it's doomed.

Your comment is handwavy with words like "feel" and "bad habits". There are real issues with remote work, but there are also ways to mitigate the downsides of it. It's easier for some people to just dismiss the idea entirely and pretend that in-office work is the better alternative without any problems. I have definitely seen that happen in my company and here.

When I went to college, I stayed in a dorm that was built in 1930. The classrooms I was taught in were built in the 1960s. They were all built on state land, and paid for before I started in the late 90s. The teachers were paid a modest salary, roughly 2-3x the salary of an elementary school teacher. Fast forward 30 years. The same dorms are still housing the students. The same classrooms are still instructing the students. The teachers are still paid a modest salary, proportional to an elementary school teacher, and yet - the costs have skyrocketed?? Yes, they built a new student center, and computer labs, but those were built just a few years after I graduated, and the prices hadn’t dramatically increased.

Today, the prices have tripled. The money is going somewhere, and I’m certain some simple graphs would reveal the cause. After all the people complaining about the skyrocketing costs, I’ve yet to see these charts. Where are the investigative reporters?

I expect to find wasteful hiring and departments full of non-student facing faculty, whose salaries aren’t paid for by grants. I expect to find not just one IT department for the university, but an IT department for each college. Even the residence life had a 10 person IT department back when I attended, and I remember being horrified at the waste. These organizations have likely grown. I expect to find the sports organization, including basketball and footballs are no longer a revenue engine, but have grown to be a parasite through creative accounting. I expect the non revenue generating sports, which were a questionable destination of funds back when I attended, have grown. Why was I, as a student, funding a world class swimming team? I never attended a match. My tuition included an invisible “tax” to fund these athletics.

Instead of pushing to roll back the finances to the pre-2000 levels, the university continues to raise rates, and the students continue to attend, because the loans continue to get approved.

So, when I hear politicians asking for student loan forgiveness, without asking the hard questions on why these costs have skyrocketed, and putting a system in place to roll back these hikes, I’m disgusted. It does nothing to solve the problem. Cap the loan amounts, retroactive to inflation adjusted from 2000. The universities will quickly have to figure out if they really need a synchronized swimming team, or three website designers for the dorm web page.
Microsoft refused to offer warranty repairs for failed XBox 360 units, despite the issue being their own design flaw.

There were famously customers who had paid out of pocket for the same repair three or more times.

Should we still be claiming that Microsoft never changed their mind and decided to eat the cost of repairs, despite knowing the truth years later?

Yes, it takes a bit of fortitude to stand against something similar to peer pressure. Modeling behavior, like fully stopping at stop signs, always using blinkers, getting your passengers to use their belts, etc. can take a bit of a mindset.

I would consider distortion at this magnitude to be broken. It's pretty much stuck in a vicious cycle of number of degrees increasing from accessibility, businesses increasing demand for credentials because there are more of them, demand for easy loans increasing, etc. It would take a monumental shift to fix this from multiple areas of society.

It does in ways you likely don't understand. At large enterprises with satellite offices, most of us don't want to sit at our desks and annoy our coworkers who are also in-office by taking calls at our desks. That leaves meeting rooms, which are at a premium.

Full single device for everyone would mean either everyone loudly shouting at their desks from within their noise canceling headphones or the company giving everyone an office with a door. As even Google doesn't do this for their employees, this is the next best thing we can do to save the sanity of our coworkers and respect remote colleagues dialing in by including them in a shared room meeting.
