My memory is that they had the weapons, but not necessarily the capability to launch them or compile them into a functional nuclear weapons program. What they had was leftovers from the soviet union. A lot of them may never have left the silos even if they could find the go button.

Having nukes you cant use is worse than no nukes. You are a target for terrorists trying to lay their hands on materials, you are a threat to the entire planet (especially your new large neighbor) it was a losing proposition.
The accounts were genuinely FDIC insured. Evolve is a real bank.

But a few months before the bankruptcy, Evolve pushed Synapse to move the money into non-FDIC insured brokerage accounts. As far as I can tell, this was:

- a way to move a hole in the balance sheet from an FDIC insured to an uninsured place

- completely illegal, insofar as the only user consent was a manual opt-out, and some users weren't even sent emails about the change.
Hijacking an airplane isn’t an attack on the TSA specifically though. We were talking about the security of the TSA building itself.
AoT/JIT work would literally be the training tool to train the model, with additional optimizations along the way. The issue is that manual removal of all the runtime stuff from the generated code is just cumbersome right now, but with ML, its just a matter of having enough examples.

The advantage is that you get native optimized code like someone wrote it in C directly, and ability to automatically generate code to be offloaded to GPU as people start doing expanded training with higher level pattern recognition.

I kid you not, I am about to start learning more about compilers to myself. I would like to write my own, and I have a few resources to dive into which I hope will help. I am not trying to make the next LLVM or anything, but I hope writing a rather simple compiler would better my current (lack of) understanding of compilers.

I am going to assume that you are much further along in your career than I am. Not perhaps in years of experience, but rather more in terms of literal career progression. I'm just a small shop code-monkey, so there isn't really any verticality to my position (unless I jump ship).

However, I do sympathize with your questioning the worth of it all. In some ways, I think I have prematurely questioned many of the same ideas. Such questioning has perhaps aided in my procrastination in bettering my situation.

Maybe what I am looking for is purely fantasy and does not exist in a truly feasible manner? I mean, we have only one life on this planet. I often find myself questioning if this is how I one to spend such time. . .

Maybe Gen Z, but I'd say Millenials definitely had their generational Pop icons. Those icons simply did not live a good life once they left the spotlight. Like, most people I know don't really want to talk about Brittney Spears nor Micheal Jackson, even if they loved their music.

But I agree with your core point. There is no "Spongebob" of animation for Gen Z (except for... Spongebob. Maybe). There's no Friends, nor Breaking Bad of the 2010's/2020's. There's barely any individual movies that break the cultural zeitgeist period.

>The intense political push from the Left to make any form of social cohesion and loyalty undesirable also hasn't helped. The dismantling and removal of tradition, religion, and nationalism/patriotism from society means there can't be a "song of the people" from outside of entertainment either.

we can have social cohesion without resorting to nationalism nor religion. It's just that when you give people infinite choice, we diverge at best to the pareto principle. But 20% of society not being in the know is still a lot of society you fail to connect with.
Well sure. Physical IDs are also not tiny government listening devices either. Unit they are.

The other banks involved all agree that the remaining balances are with Evolve, and that there isn't money that's been moved somewhere else. If there was, Evolve might be willing to say where, which they've been unwilling to do so far–it's very "dog ate my homework."

Given that the depositors still have active DDA agreements with Evolve, even if they sent the money elsewhere, they still have a responsibility to provide it.

>It's interesting that you didn't once mention the sound of humans.

I think they are implied by the din of the city which is the din of people even if it comes from a loud car, that loud car is loud because of a person. For the driver of that loud car being able to really hear the engine could mean the driver is the sort of person who wants to hear the engine and is the sort who can isolate each and every sound the engine makes telling them a great deal about how well it is or is not working. Or their engine might be about to fail and it is a constant reminder of another thing they need to figure out how to pay for and praying it holds out until next month when they get their Christmas bonus even if that means the kids will have not have much of a Christmas. Or it might just be that it is their way to block out the constant din of the city. Or they may just want the city know that they are there, that they exist. screaming to the heavens as it were.

All those sounds which make up the din of the city have meanings and are personal, they connect to a person and a life. But I did make a conscious decision between natural and unnatural noise, nature vs city, people are sort of a grey area there and getting into that would complicate my point. The person living out in middle of nowhere miles from anyone is generally allowed to make as much noise as they please unless you happen to be camping near their property, then they are probably going to be considered rude for disturbing the tranquility and your vacation from the city even though you are the one encroaching on their life, not the other way around. As far as you know no one lives within 100 miles of your campsite and here are all these noises which do not belong 100 miles from civilization.
All what stuff?

I don't understand how your comment relates to mine (or even the article). It feels like you're trying to correct me but I have no idea on what. Skimming through the other comments, I see numerous other criticisms of this article and study that you've ignored. I'm genuinely curious about why, of all the other comments, you chose to respond to mine.
Paying _who_ out?

Yotta is who the people gave their money to. Yotta then used Synapse (which went bankrupt) to actually deposit the money into not-per-user accounts at 4 different banks. As-in, if you had an account with Yotta your money would be co-mingled with thousands+ other individuals into a singular Evolve account.

Evolve has no proof that your money is within the account Synapse held with them. As-in your money could be at one of the 3 other banks.

Yotta is the one being irresponsible for not keeping track of how Synapse split the funds. (Although arguable Evolve shouldn't keep co-mingled funds since that sounds like a KYC violation).

This is why not only does your broker not hold your stocks for you, they also tell the holding company who owns them.

Yotta is speed running the financial system's previous failures.
These days a lot of folks can probably do more than just authenticator on their personal device. Teams and Outlook, for example, are both able to run with the MDM-level controls the company wants but without the device-level MDM. It's part of the app and has no control over anything else.
> There's little point to optimising latency when your network ends up on internet where the smallest hops are milliseconds away.

That's just plain wrong. Lower latency always improves everything. Not just responsiveness, but also bandwidth! Because of TCP slow-start and congestion control algorithms, lower latency directly results in higher throughputs.

Not to mention that these latencies add up, which is especially important with chatty microservices applications. Don't forget that typical TCP+HTTPS connections require something like 5 round trips, and that's assuming that the DNS record is already cached! Add in firewalls, load balancers, proxies, side-cars, ingress, and who knows what else, suddenly you're staring down the barrel of 15 millisecond latencies before the data can exit the data centre.

The threshold for "instant" response is 16.7 ms end-to-end, including refreshing the HTML DOM and painting pixels to the screen.

Google and AWS knows this, which is why their data centre networking have ~50µs latencies, some of the best in the industry.

Everyone else: "Nah, don't bother!"

As someone on the ASD spectrum, who has struggled in the workplace, I resemble that remark! I found my coding job to be ok before the app was converted to be web-based, then found it to be death by a 1000 distractions as I became more senior and found the web project to be too messy, too many checkins of bad code by the overseas team, team too big, etc. Anyone have tips to help someone like me?
Yes, but the TSA wasn't created in the 1980s, when most of the decrease happened. The TSA wasn't invented until after 9/11.

Indeed actually scary. This was in science news recently:

> A team of cognitive neuroscientists at the University of Zurich, has found that ancient Aztec "skull whistles" found in gravesites are able to instill fear in modern people. In their study, published in the journal Communications Psychology, the group recorded the neural and psychological responses of volunteers as they listened to the screams produced by the whistles.

...

> The volunteers exhibited similar reactions—certain low-level cortical auditory regions of the brain became instantly activated, indicating that they were on high alert. They also found that the volunteers said the sound made them feel frightened and aversive—they wanted it to stop. The researchers also found that the whistle sound tended to confuse the brain, leaving it reeling momentarily. This, they suggest, hints at the possibility that the whistle was used during ceremonies surrounding the dead, possibly as a way to frighten attendees.

Everything rationally dismissive of ineffective economics and technology always appears negligent in scientific duties. But I'm actually monitoring the situation with great attention and caution. Because this is a global context I'm referring to. Which the soteriological expectations of populist manufacturing science and also optimal operations research have botched, as part of a normally occurring natural selection that wants to purge away all unmotivated and unskilled students of economics at the Malthusian cliff limits that we're presently at.

As long as your side of the discussion hasn't loaded the debate with propaganda-rich religious expectations like the modern implementation of capitalism being on the road to perfection, some sort of leftist-progressive singularity possible with enough faith based endorsement and mere belief, then I'm willing to have an argument founded on facts. Otherwise, your sociopolitically biased school of economics will have to forever deal with me presenting grounds for arguments as thoughtless speculation, due to the skewed perspective your political incentives create. In other words, I have already given basic facts from which tentative socioeconomic engineering arguments can be made. Namely that liberal democracy's military-industrial complex is a poor attempt at satisfying the requirement for both secure and intelligent domestic commerce.

It's actually not rocket science: it's more like a real time strategy game like Command and Conquer. Because what base building ever occurs without an area being violently secured from enemy ganks and such first? And, abstracting from this illustration, unless Elon Musk plans to form a private military company for his Tesla and Space X ventures like a proper cyberpunk megacorporation character, we shouldn't expect actually competent or pure vertical business integration. Instead, we should be expecting a ghetto version of what capitalism truly is. Because the best players, our wealthy and powerful billionaires, are not really wealthy and powerful, if you look closely at what capitalism means and what it means without semantically corrupting political lobbyists like Keynesian economics, supply and demand formulations, and just horribly ineffective fascist socialism high school type proposals.
Streisand may also be "the more you try to hide something, the more attention it receives", and then by Johnson's Law, the bigger its area of impact becomes.

Waymo have in house radar, I think in the 70GHz gap in the absorption spectrum. They're pretty obvious as sort of paperback book sized planes, mounted near other sensors IIRC.

The old Velodyne units were actually susceptible to damage if you left two units running right next to each other. I did hear a proposal at some point for a different but similar unit to use GPS time to sync the rotations of all the units we had live so they wouldn't be pointed at each other, but in practice it seemed to not be a huge issue.

BTW I once gave you guff about continuing to bring up Conti's flash LIDAR, and in retrospect I wish I hadn't, I really enjoy your contributions here.
What risk do you foresee arising out of perverse incentives in this case?
I am excited to see that it can get customized over several dialects.

In the Japanese 5th generation project they thought they could parallelize Prolog but found out early on that Prolog could not be parallelized so they came up with KL1 which could be parallelized but is not as nice as Prolog.

I'd love to have a "language construction set" where I could trade off expressiveness and efficiency and such.

My take on facts and rules is that they are somewhat portable between different regimes. For instance the same set of rules can work well in a forward chained mode as in a RETE rules engine or in a backward chained mode using Prolog or even in an SMT solver for consistency checking.

I call it "rules and schemes" where you reuse the same rules with different execution strategies to solve different inference problems. In fact you want it to be easy to move work between build and run time.
Stealth doesn’t stand still. The latest low-observable US aircraft have lower radar and visual signatures than the previous generation.

It’s not an indefinite ‘lead’, of course, but having decades of experience with LO shaping and materials means you can keep making effective incremental improvements.

> Given that the depositors still have active DDA agreements with Evolve, even if they sent the money elsewhere, they still have a responsibility to provide it.

I didn't say otherwise. But Evolve doesn't know what money belongs to what individual customer, Synapse maintained that part of the ledger (poorly). So even though Evolve has the cash (it appears), they can't distribute it to you because they don't know how much is yours, and Synapse was such a cluster that they failed at their primary job.
I've been meaning to try to 3d print one of these. There was a meme video about someone doing a batch of 200 to give out on Halloween, and it made me wonder if a plastic one would yield the same sounds.

I love this sort of writing. Bringing attention to something you don't pay too much attention to, even as a muslim. My prayer rug has tessellation patterns, probably a testament to God's infiniteness.

Where I'm originally from in Diyarbakir, Turkey, the Christians also use prayer rugs when prostrating (to, I think, Jerusalem) so this isn't an exclusively "Islamic" thing.
>Autists don’t deserve the hell they get

Sure.

> Maybe the world should try being nicer to them.

That's hard because of negativity bias. 90% of the world can be nice, but that 10% will stick out like a sore thumb. That strategy of "be nice" works on a micro level, but not macro.
> Something that someone from the street can pick up in a couple months isn’t likely to command an enduring market premium.

There's a large gap between your local market value and that in a poorer country. On the Balkan, a nurse will have a terrible salary, but if she goes through a bootcamp and learns enough to be useful in QA, she'll quickly make 2-3x what she would earn working in a hospital. There's a pretty hard ceiling when you approach Western income levels, but everyone I talked to is super happy hitting that ceiling, because it'll mean they have great income compared to the national average.
IIRC the data coming out of the Conti radars was preprocessed to give bearing, distance, and size of an object in the FOV of the unit. I don't know if I ever saw the true raw data out of one of them, but I'm curious what it looks like.
This is nothing new.
Author here! I’d suggest that you treat Dispatch the same way you’d treat, say, pthread_create¹ on Unix systems or CreateThread² on Windows – each platform has some features unique to it, but that doesn’t mean it’s impossible to make a cross-platform wrapper, nor does it mean that you need to restrict yourself to a lowest-common-denominator subset. In many cases it’s possible to create a cross-platform wrapper which uses platform-specific functionality where it can to suit your use-case.

Wrapping the core functionality of Dispatch I’m suggesting you use (workloops and serial queues) in a cross-platform manner isn’t difficult. On non-Apple platforms you do the standard thing: create a thread using those functions I mentioned above, have the thread sit in a loop receiving from a channel, and give the thread work to do by sending messages to the channel. On Apple platforms you’d instead create the “thread” with dispatch_workloop_create³, and you’d replace the places where you send to the channel with a call to dispatch_async⁴. Of course, this doesn’t give you any of the QoS behavior of Dispatch on non-Apple platforms, but that’s fine.

If you want to see an admittedly-complex example, WebKit’s WorkQueue⁵ is a cross-platform Dispatch wrapper.
