The project website is active and they are accepting donations, why is this project a failure when it still active?

Sure dude. Make sure you children's never get educated, that would solve all the problem. We need lesser education.

In place of slider having a button with the label of current step would be nice.

"ligen.is" is all you need for textbook

The right wing discourse is about advocating the replacement of existing democratic law in place of the vedic laws just like the olden days of pre british era. Vedas are the Hindu religious book that provides structure by which a society should be run by dividing people in to varna system(caste system).

India can never go back to vedic days, simply because there is no incentive for all Hindus. All Hindus are not the same in Hinduism. Vedic book advocates only a particular caste should have monopoly over education and only another to the right of having weapons, etc. This worked well prior to british colonilzation because people were not educated and could not see the big picture. That changed after the british rule and every one was given education which woke enough people to see the bigger picture of caste system.

The right wing advocates know that just with Hinduism they can not unite. They need another religion to hate and unite over that hate. This is where ISLAM comes in. Indian Muslims like the rest of the world can not take a joke on koran or Allah. This is very convenient for the right wing to spread hate and unite people over it. In contrast there is lot of atheist movement especially in South India where they can trash talk Hindu gods and their scriptures on public media at least for now. South India is more progressive and educated compared to North states.

You mean there are binary blobs without source code in the linux repo?

If i run linux can i modify the firmware? Also the regulations differ from country to country so this should be legal in some of the country.

So that generally means that governments need to step in, and help the people and companies to do the right thing.

Then its not democracy any more. Its slavery. If People want to leave let them leave.

They don't pay upfront. That's not how management thinks. Until attrition is below 50% hiring new people with a good hike is profitable than paying to people who don't leave.

Remote Work. That's the answer. I wear wig and place the camera and lighting in such an angle that my wrinkles don't show up much. This covid situation has forced to conduct interviews online and its been amazing. I have never been asked my age in online interviews for some reason.

"youtube-dl" plugin has one neat idea with respect to tests. Both the test and the plugin code for a particular website are in the same file.If the website changes and breaks the plugin updating the tests is much easier way to fix the code. This makes sure tests are always updated, rather the other way of not updating the tests due to no incentive since the problem is already solved which leads to tests being useless.

But not monetizing tells about character and motivation certainly.

When it comes to ageism Work From Home certainly helps. All interviews are online and i wear wig during interviews and thankfully my skin is not wrinkled so much. Also with the current progress in AI i am betting on wrinkle free video masks softwares in the near future. I will never go back to full time office jobs.

In a democratic country the "ruling party" and "love towards their country" can be independent. But in an authoritarian country this feeling is supressed.

PaulGraham hypothesized this way earlier in a tweet. But the important realization to me was that not all riches are the same. Not all rich people have access to the most important information. Certainly being rich in tech sector is powerful.

That statement was in the context of implementing well known algorithms rather than researching unknown ideas. ART is totally a new approach in comparison to backward prop, hope it inspires some to continue research in this area. Deep Learning has so many use cases yet to be implemented that has business value but from the point of research its close to saturation. Time to explore new ideas.

Did not knew Brian Kernighan has authored so many books. This is useful.

I am a manager in a large tech company and we care about our employees.

This is the problem with management roles. Managers opportunity to find new job is so low they are forced to think they are part of the company. The company does not think the same. The same is not true for IC devs, this may not be for long, but currently this the case. I hope people be honest at least over internet.

As a language are there any parallels between "Wolfram Mathematica" and "Elixir", since both talk about pattern match, search and replace in the context of evaluation a lot.

Since antivirus companies existence depends on the malware, has there been any documented case where the antivirus company is the creator of malware.

With state actor funding it like 30 mins.

In USA at least for now nobody can claim leader for life like the CCP has done so. That a huge diff.

To be clear visiting the posted link to "gwern.net" does not ask for pay to view the pdf.

Does the 3d games today still use ray tracing or some other algorithm?

Are you saying this is factually wrong? I assume eBPF is designed to only access certain points explicitly coded in the kernel but the exploits can access any part of kernel. Is this what you are hinting at? Could you please clarify the statement.

I trust the wikimedia foundation

The board members change so it can go wrong.

..where you cannot trust any single person..

You are missing the point. Obviously society runs based on mutual trust. One can not ignore the fact that a few people or group in power can create great damage. Crypto makes it possible to create "trust by design" systems so that a small group can not do great damage or censor things that undermine their power.

Wikipedia database is managed by the wikimedia staff. You have the permission to edit it for now but can not guarantee it will be make available always. This is what the author meant.

But the remote work has been amazing

Somethings I don't understand. How do they cover the cost for the event?

Does the attendees pay for this and is it enough to cover the cost or is it profitable?

How is meeting people who are not authors of the paper more useful than organizing online?

dude i spilled my coffee. Funny and true at the same time.
