I'm at a loss how my good faith reply gets immediately downvoted away. The game has broken our collective ability to make sense of anything. The wrong scent gets pushed away without any authentic attempt to cohere.

Isn't one country paying the bill the definition of a non cooperative game? It's one player repeatedly 'tit' without any corresponding 'tat'

Why is the US apparently responsibile for this financially in the first place? For the future, will other countries join financially to up our global defenses against future outbreaks?

It sounds like the US took up a global cause on its own and when the clock ran out they didn't renew because that emergency had subsided.

Is this what was being pinned as Trump's "fault" in recent press and social media?

Low level optimization (assembly) is mostly only useful with algorithms which have instruction level parallelism. Modern compilers are incredibly good at optimizing serial algorithms.

Making use of compile time branch reduction can be massive. For example template parameters which are evaluated at compile time skipping lots of work at runtime.

It's crazy to think, if human civilization were to shut down the earth would fairly rapidly become much better off. Other species would flourish again, plants would slowly take over our cities. There'd be less bickering. Hm.

Consider if your trading algorithm simply searched the history for that sliding window of data and then presented the following data as it's "prediction" -- it's utterly useless. This is the function of a compressor rather than a predictor.

Relax, I'm a time traveler from the future. By 3030 fart is the only acceptable word. I've taken great risk by typing this message.

I'm in a similar boat, being rather uneducated here. But I thought it wasn't completely unusual for countries to prod each other's air space. It seems really dangerous for Iran to just auto fire at an encroaching aircraft, potentially starting off a war. In that sense it may be lucky it wasn't a US fighter.

But when you order the Death by Chocolate, it doesn't actually contain any chocolate.

All of these little details vary dramatically depending on the exact CPU and workload. I've developed a wide variety of scheduling strategies and have used neural networks to predict when a given strategy will be better. Scheduling is giant non deterministic mess with no ideal answers.

Without AGI there are still cases when the lower probability prediction will be better, and will lead to escaping a local minima. I'd argue that the potential benefits of calibrating that axis dynamically exist with or without AGI.

It isn't /fundamentally/ conservative, it is just typically programmed to choose the most conservative (highest probability) predictions. You could integrate a liberal aspect by fuzzing the decision process to choose from lower probability predictions.

More creativity, and ability to escape local minima, but at some cost when dealing with 'typical' cases and when making particularly damaging mispredictions.

It depends. You aren't going to make a very fast modern codec encoder or decoder using Python. The hotspot ends up being the vast majority of the process. That management/glue layer becomes very thin, amounting only to feeding in the bitstream and reading back the raw video frames.

Most anything you do, in general, will fork off into many branches. Some being required dependencies and many others being tangential improvements or generalizations.

You can either note them in some way as they emerge, or ignore them and keep your code tidy of such notes.

I'm speaking in terms of the reality of what is effective in development. Not in terms of what management at particular companies will approve.

I've been programming C++ and assembly for 23 years. Few years ago I became a huge fan of Python. In my opinion Python is amazingly well suited for rapid first revision and can then be swapped out for C++ / asm.

The site should be unattractive but functional. Gotta drink your own koolaid.

What's coming through is alive What's holding up is a mirror But what's singing songs is a snake Looking to turn this piss to wine They're both totally void of hate But killing me just the same

Problem is a tribe and all its associated organizations become dependent on a fresh supply of racists, sexists in order to justify its own continued existence. Evolutionarily, it must continue to find more and more of them to survive, even if they are mostly imaginary

God bless you all HN.

It sounds like a non-renewable energy source which changes the natural flow of the water permanently. Isn't there bound to be negative environmental effects?

Me too. Loved it so much. Had to try every combination of pieces to see them all

I ran my own personal GitLab EE on EC2 and it cost a fortune per year to use an instance type with enough memory. Then I realized GitLab.com private is... free and unlimited? How is that even possible?

This was a very effective way to describe it, I've read a great deal about QM and you made it click much better.

Yea, I never knew these news diffing sites existed. Looks like "Wiretapped" was indeed removed at some point in time, which seems to contradict the description given in the redaction/apology article. But this tool doesn't give any insight as to when that change occurred since its final snapshot was only a day after the original article was posted.

It will depend from which sources you get your information. Maybe the legwork will be done by someone sufficiently motivated to definitively prove one way or another, but I wouldn't really consider this a closed case. I'm shocked if anyone alive in 2017 really thinks this is something the media would never do.

I really don't see the problem here. They likely need an anchor for enough conversation to "vet" a person's story. If someone is utterly clueless about their stated career, it should be a red flag enough for some further questioning.

Folks have a hair trigger about being offended by this sort of thing but it seems completely reasonable to me.

Yes as usual everything the world is built on top of is totally wrong. POSIX, C++, any conservative principle, any majority race or sexuality etc.

It's easy to criticize everything endlessly, much more challenging to make things better without tossing out the babies with the bathwater.

I use a simple plaintext heirarchical format which is compatible with checkvist.com, and wrote a Notepad++ plugin which syncs local copies with checkvist. Revisions via Git.

You are still introducing a conditional by detecting the need to subtract, and iterating backward through memory is horrific for cache performance. If you need a specific, non power-of-2 sized buffer, then of course you make that design decision and pay the performance penalty. But I restate it's odd that you weren't even aware of the cost in 1992 as a system level programmer.
