The idea of putting "Tibet" and "human rights" close to each other doesn't look very promising to me based on some historic observations of pre-China Tibet lifestyle http://masterok.livejournal.com/1713489.html (sorry for russian, but hopefully it is pretty simple for automatic translation)

After about 53-th minute Odersky gets lost in side effects in a very simple code.

This is why there's nothing elegant about Scala.
yes, that's exactly what stepstep said
Maybe. There are indeed many possible moves, but how many represent important strategic choices that take learning to understand, and how many are just the obvious thing that even beginners will see how to do after a little study? (there are plenty of "broken" RTS games where there are millions of choices but there's a clear winning strategy in building lots of one particular unit as fast as possible - StarCraft is the exception and not the rule in sustaining interesting gameplay years after its release).

And if we're talking about computer playability, the real-time nature of these games cuts both ways; in StarCraft analysis we literally talk about how many "actions per second" a player was able to execute, a field where a computer will naturally have an enormous advantage (part of why I prefer to play Supreme Commander).

> If "simpler" models cluster close to more complex models, the simpler models are more desirable.

Well, it would suggest you aren't winning very much for your more complex model, at the very least.

> I wonder if all over-fitted models cluster in one region in the meta-SNE space, or do they show up as noise?

This corresponds to an empirical question: do models overfit in the same way, or different ways?

One small experiment I did, which might offer some intuition here, was training lots of extremely small networks on MNIST, with hidden layers of only 1, 2 or 5 neurons. What do they look like in meta-SNE?

Well, it turns out that when you only have a very small number of neurons, they latch on to random useful features! These randomly selected features don't tend to be the same, so you end up with the models horribly disagreeing on what is similar and what is different.

As you increase the number of neurons, the space of features they look at, if not the features of individual neurons, becomes similar across models. And so the models agree more, and cluster more tightly.

...

Another fun idea for using meta-SNE is ensemble models. We know that training a bunch of models and then averaging their results (ensembling) can improve results a lot. When is this helpful? My guess is that the farther apart compatibly good models are in meta-SNE space, the more ensembling will help, because they've learned different things.
Yes, the pairwise comparisons form a similar pattern as shown in the top-right pentagram in http://latkin.org/blog/wp-content/uploads/2015/01/cycles12.p... (each die beats two others and loses to two others, in pairwise comparisons)

> Legal Limits results in many deaths a year that would not occur if the Limits were more strict.

Source on this please. Let's take speed limits as an example. Looking at [1], the data for the US doesn't seem to be conclusive to me - some times speed limit decreases didn't have a significant effect, sometimes increases lead to more crashes, sometimes to less crashes. So I don't know about you, but I wouldn't use such a blanket statement. Also, Europe often has higher speed limits, but significantly less fatalities than the US[2], both by miles driven and by number of cars. That may or may not be causal, but the world is not as simple as it's the law so it must be good.

Edit: I've been looking for regulations on following distance, but I can't actually find any. There's lots of rules that are given to driving learners but I can't find anything legally binding, whether for the US nor for European country. Obviously keeping a safe distance is necessary for reducing accidents, but lacking any data I can't really say what distance is safe. In Switzerland we learn the 'two second rule', in the US it seems to be three seconds - which seems excessively much to me - at that distance you'd have driver after driver using the gap in front of you since half the distance would seem close enough to the two-second-rule to them - thus creating way more critical situations where you have to be careful.

> The X-Prize is intended precisely for this type of industry stagnation

No. Take a look Ansari X-Prize, the first of this kind.

The theoretic foundations for spaceflight were laid out about a century ago, the first flight took place in 1961. So this is something which is very well understood. The prize was, basically, for tweaking the components to make it cheaper.

But you're asking somebody to invent a new method, without providing a theoretical foundation for it to work in.

So this would be like asking to invent a teleporter or faster-than-light travel.

Besides that, other x-prizes were formulated as a contained experiments. E.g. demonstrate that your spacecraft can fly, or provide a program which offers better recommendations.

But what you describe is not an experiment. You actually want participants to go an change how the Internet works. This isn't contained.

So you're being downvoted for being extremely naive. You seem to believe that a kickstarter campaign and a github repo can solve any problem.
I'm sorry, I meant, I don't find myself using lambdas to curry constructor arguments. I didn't mean I don't use lambdas at all (of course, I use them a lot within reason, sometimes I have to go back and de-lambdify my code for debugging or perf reasons).

"Even Lisp ended up with macros with own sub language..." I assume you're talking about Scheme approaches like `syntax-case` and `syntax-rules`? In Common Lisp, macros are written in Lisp, the same way you would write runtime code. Unquoting and splicing are part of the core language (e.g. they can be applied to data as well as to code).
I think the biggest thing a lot of developers miss with the bashing of Excel and VBA is just the simplicity to the end user.

As a consultant, a lot of time the solution has to be able to be given to anyone, on computers with no admin rights or installation privileges, and just work with no other dependencies, installation or special skills required.

Very, very few other methods meet that requirement as well as a plain old Excel file.

This doesn't follow. The output is still socially influenced. If you look at my DNA, and my DNA makes me brown-eyed, and people discriminate against brown-eyed people, such that I perform worse, my DNA will predict worse performance. But this is entirely due to environmental factors.

In fact, from my reading of the paper, their major conclusion was only for those of European ethnicity (and even then only accounted for a small percentage of the overall difference in attainment), so they didn't try to address questions about racial influence, for example.

Specifically, for people of European descent, their method is about as predictive as a socio-economic predictor. For a multi-ethnic group, their method is 3-5x less predictive than a socio-economic predictor. Saying that people should retract claims of environmental heritability is ridiculous: those methods are still far more predictive.
How many of these startups plan to actually compete instead of planning to be bought up by Google or Microsoft?
Neither company as far as I can tell agreed to that. Cannonical said it was a poor choice of words and in light of that review their policies. Aka tell people not to be so creepy. Microsoft just stated what the terms were. Unless there have been new statements released which I doubt since legal would probably have a fit if someone did that.

As I said no court would ever agree that “I’m your point of contact” is marketing.
If you've graduated from an American high school, you should have been required to read the Futurist manifesto and several of the Dadaist manifestos.

"Certainly you're not familiar with Northern Ireland."

Someone clearly is unfamiliar, though I think you should by pointing to yourself rather than others.
A simple SQL query is not a great solution even for dynamic sites that pull content from SQL databases. You have to protect against SQL injection and you usually will want fulltext indices for all the text fields to be searched. It's also going to be slow in the naive implementation for databases of any significant size.

The better solution for both dynamic and static sites is to set up a search appliance like elasticsearch, solr, or algolia. You can use JS to query it and still be static on the server.

If you do set up your own, remember to use a reverse proxy like nginx to avoid exposing elasticsearch directly to the internet.

> the virus is running rampant in teenagers now

I'm not sure how you came to that conclusion based on the data at http://coronavirus.data.gov.uk/

Total cases have continued to decrease, with the most recent 7-day average showing a 30% decline, and latest figures showing 39 cases per 100,000 people per week. That's hardly "running rampant".

> people without health conditions under 50 have not yet had anything at all

This is not quite correct. There are a lot of people under 50 who've had the jab for other reasons. Frontline health and social care workers were among the first to get the vaccine.
It's frustrating to hear stories about writers under totalitarianism, not just because of the pervasive state oppression, but because not one of them will prevent it from rising again. Writers like Havel and Solzhenitsyn's work ostensibly contributed to the ending of the European totalitarian system, but only decades after it rose, and after those cultures were destroyed. I worked with people who left or escaped communism, and many had brought the indolent bureaucratic cynicism and shame of the societies broken by communism with them. It takes generations to recover.

The necessary condition for it to prevail is when people (young men in particular) lose their sense of social identity and personal networks so that they are isolated from each other and can't get more than three to five together at once to privately share their experience of the movements infiltrating their communities. It's a playbook.

If only we would treat writers today as the canaries in the coal mine for this same totalitarian force of history, and learn how urgent these lessons from the 20th century truly are.
This looks solid. And k8s makes total sense, since you are avoiding vendor lock-in.

It's a great writeup, I just find it weird that the author runs his "privacy-focused" analytics service on AWS and Cloudflare. From a GDPR perspective it's not even clear if this is lawful (Schrems-II), and there are some good alternative cloud services available in the EU (e.g. Hetzner or OVH). Also, Cloudflare still sets the __cf* cookie on every request, so it's not really cookieless tracking (I'm aware that Cloudflare is planning to get rid off this cookie though).

That statement is demonstrably false. UK is only at 8% vaccination rate overall. 60% of eligible adults have had a single dose, but that 60% is heavily biased to the elderly and those with pre-existing conditions.
I am interested in how the no precedent thing works. Doesn't it have potential to make things widely inconsistent?

In Poland where we have similar rules in place it's just purely theoretical principle. In practice precedent is very important and learning about what other courts ruled ("orzecznictwo") is what lawyers spend their time on. It's as important if not more than the letter of the law in practice.

I actually find this slide deck not too clear. Perhaps some information was lost without the actual presentation. One problem I see with a lot of ideas behind game mechanics is that people still don't have a good grasp of how the work in non gaming contexts. Mechanics such ass collections, points, and feedback are mentioned - but I've seen eBay's seller feedback rating referred to as examples of all 3 of those over various slide decks.

It's an interesting space, but still very, very immature.
> I'm confused by the 'likely to create an event in the next 30 years' part - either it's unlikely or it's likely.

Let's suppose the event is an accident occurring during some industrial process. This process is going to happen very frequently over the next 30 years. While the probability of an accident during any particular instance of the process may be low, the probability of the accident happening at least once during that period may be quite high.

Some math:

p -- accident probability

n -- # of times the process happens in the period under consideration

Probability of accident happening at least once: 1 - (1 - p)^n

For example, suppose the process fails 0.01% of the time (1/10000) and happens twice a year for 30 years. Then an accident happens 1 - (0.9999)^60 ~= 0.6% of the time. If the failure rate is 1%, the probability of at least one failure jumps to 1 - (0.99)^60 ~= 45%.

My, this sparked a lot of discussion.

When I worked at a company, I used lunch as a chance to go out into the sun and maybe meet a random nice girl. Don't date people at work, they say ... and they're probably right. Sometimes I would invite my co-workers to a new place. Why eat in the same cafeteria all the time?

I basically used lunch as a social building time. but that's just me, I'm kind of bored just eating by myself.
My understanding is that the "battlefield graphic murder" online simulator games are quite popular and they've had a problem with cheaters. Players have built up quite a rage against these cheaters and they look to Sony to fix it.

When hackers come along having the goal of running their own OS on the PS3 or even restoring the ability to run as a guest of the hypervisor (OtherOS), many players don't see the difference. Probably any research into the inner workings of a PS3 has the potential to benefit cheat development as well, but I for one do not accept the idea that we would turn off our inquisitive nature and forgo our home supercomputers so that others might gain a more fair killing field.

I have several drawings and paintings that I did under the influence that still amaze me today. I could never reproduce the techniques or forms. There were many times that I wouldn't spend the entire duration drawing/painting, but I had several marathon creation sessions under the influence of LSD.

We would always make sure to have plenty of supplies. Art or otherwise. Pen and paper was probably the most difficult. The effects on your vision are pronounced and drawing can be... hard. I always enjoyed oil pastels the most. Thick and flowing pools of color. Man those were good times.

I was in art school at the time, and critique (the ability to give and receive) was one of the greatest things I walked away with. We would formerly critique on a regular basis in class.

> I don't doubt they had a good time, but seeing them utterly fail to use the drug as a tool kinda makes me skeptical of the productive benefits.

This is akin to coming onto a software project, seeing a huge tangle of grotesque code produced by some other programmer(s), and determining that the tools were at fault. In both cases it is not necessarily the wand, but perhaps the magician.
So the opposite is not true? There isn't anything that Linux offers you that Windows does not? Are you a coder? Try installing Node.js under cygwin. Good luck. Same for most linux-oriented programming environments. Windows works fine for the more mature languages (PHP, Ruby, Python, Java) which have direct ports and in many cases a compiler for the CLR.
Ruby on Rails is the framework of choice for web apps at Shopify. It is an opinionated stack for quick and easy development of apps that need standard persistence with relational databases, an HTTP server, and HTML views.

By design, Rails does not define conventions for structuring business logic and domain-specific code, leaving developers to define their own architecture and best practices for a sustainable codebase.

In fast product development teams, budgets and deadlines interfere with this architectural work, leading to poorly written business logic and complicated code that is very hard to maintain long term. Even when developer teams take the time to think about what a good architecture in Rails look like, this work is likely required to be done all over again when a new Rails app needs to be created.

This project aims to make it easier for both new and existing Rails apps to adopt patterns that are proven to make code more sustainable long term, and codebases easier to maintain and extend. We will recommend a set of abstractions and practices that are simple, yet powerful in organizing code in Rails apps in a way that allows fast-growing apps to remain easy to change.

Bismuth originated as a single-file code base. It grew to become a powerful engine after many thousands of updates & code iterations. With Bismuth2.0, it was time to consolidate, organize and clean up to get better control of the code, permit easier maintenance and streamline external work on the code. Regardless of the core overhaul, the new V2 code base will retain full compatibility with legacy nodes. Legacy support may be dropped at one point in the future once Bismuth2.0 has fully transitioned.

You know how there are linked references in Excel files that refer to other Excel files? What if you want to keep multiple copies of your Excel file with macros that refer to different files with data? And so you can run them on Windows, Mac or in your browser?

Kubernetes basically lets you define your references not as "c:\jon\reports\fy2020_final_final_2_comments_review_Bob_final.xlsx", but as "fy-report", with "fy-report" being defined elsewhere.

This is required to help you run the same program in different circumstances without breaking everything. You can say "run it on this slow computer with this test data", or you can "run it on many big computers with real data", but the program is exactly the same.

What makes it so complicated is that Kubernetes tries to abstract everything a given program would need, so it's not just references to external files, but practically the whole computer with all its network connections that must be defined elsewhere using Kubernetes' special language.

A lot of this special language is the same for 99% of programs, like in Excel you want your VLOOKUP to work on a $-pinned range with the last parameter set to FALSE 99% of the time. This makes people make the same stupid mistakes and finding them is hard.

And of course, this special language means you have to relearn a lot you know about running programs on computers, like when you move from Excel formulas to VBA.
