One good step forward would be building a web application that crunches a lot of data from different sources and presents it in an original and practical way. For example, something related to flights and hotels and airbnb.
Have you considered that in the US and in Canada, approximately 80% of all goods are transported by heavy trucks? With the supply chain crippled and broken in so many ways already, these people are simply standing up for their right to CHOOSE if they want to vaccinated or not. They don't want to cripple the economy. They aren't anti-vax; they are anti-mandate. They can stay home, unvaccinated, and lose their homes, trucks, and jobs, further shutting down the supply chain. Or they can stand for freedom, and limit government overreach. And go to work delivering food, medical supplies, building materials, fuel, and other products.
Think they would ship to the US? (Unless there are fire/safety/code regulations regarding garage doors.)
The word is separate from the political beliefs of the person who happened to come up with it (or popularize it) first.

The BLM protests — the overwhelming majority of which were peaceful [1] — stretched over 6 months and involved thousands of events and millions of people. After all that… 19 people died [1].

The terrorist attack yesterday exceeded a quarter of that death toll in a matter of hours.

I don't know how to explain that invading our nation's capitol with the intent of capturing and murdering politicians is different than breaking into a Target.

Bitcoin is a lot of things but a fiat currency isn’t one of them.

Being a fiat currency requires it to be decreed for transactions, a unit account, etc. by a government or other sovereign entity.

There’s no such entity behind bitcoin.
I have a yeti nano, which has a physical mute button. It’s super useful. I only wish it could:

automatically switch the mute indicator on zoom, so others can see I’m on mute

push to talk mode would be neat instead of click to unmute and another to mute again

anybody knows if the button is hackable in some way? (osx)
As a huge democrat (lower case d) I totally agree. Locking down the Capitol is antithetical to the notion of open democracy. Lawmakers and the law making process needs to be physically accessible by the People. This was what the Founders intended. Of course there is some risk here and Jefferson himself noted this.

That’s the price we pay for living in an open and transparent society. While I don’t condone or support what happened this week, the building belongs to the People and not the government and the People have every right to enter the building and demand accountability.

The way the US Capitol is right now feels very police-state to me compared to how it used to be. I have memories of running around the Capitol building with my Cub Scout pack including ending up in private areas. There were no assault weapons and we weren’t met with police. We were politely shooed away.

Today you cannot walk up the steps of the Capitol building. It’s fenced off and manned by armed guard. Last time I was there I stepped aside to let some people pass in a crowded area and crossed some arbitrary unmarked do not cross line but about 12 inches. I was physically grabbed by Police.

There was no coup attempt by large margin.

Try looking at histories of successful and unsuccessful coup attempts. They require several orders of degree better planning, coordination and execution.

That was just hooligans, not different from hundreds of other riots happened in the US last year.
nobody does this. Keeps halloween candy between years?
why? there's no advantage to having a "big stash". halloween candy decomposes into empty wrappers naturally anyways. It has a half life of 9 days.

Very nice work! A big thanks to all you guys doing this.
How about if there's already an existing AI and it keeps other AIs from being built by providing shitty ML software that people adopt instead of allowing for real software to thrive which would end up being the solution to the real AI problems?

Nah, just learning pyTorch now.
Exactly, remember the mystery of the disappearance of bees? And they finally found out (or rather. admitted) that it was pesticides that were responsible. Same thing here.
I have a counterexample which I think is more telling: never when I listen to music I recognize the relevant bias in sound equipment or sound engineering, it is when I listen movies that I do, and I observe it especially when I listen to non-English female voices (which I indeed happen to listen a lot, living where I live). But I'm sure that I'm not only one who notice that, as well as I am sure that not everybody's going to experience it, as there are multiple factors that allow me to be able to claim that. Human hearing has a complex response curves itself, and age and different other conditions result in specific curves among some people, which makes me unfortunate enough to be one of those who are more aware of the limitations of the sound equipment and of the ways the sound is processed by the professionals.

Once one is affected, one can more easily recognize that even professionals are aware of many aspects the sound is not "how it should be" but that the resulting sound is not the same as the "real thing" and also not "optimally adjusted" for the final listening conditions.

Sound engineering, to those who aren't doing it, appears to be "simple", and it's true that today we have much more good processing capabilities than in the days of only analog devices, but even now there are many issues that greatly influence the end result. And as I mentioned, not all languages and all fashions affecting how people speak are the same, resulting in different aspects affecting different people differently.

Did you know, for example, that women and men, on average, but even more significantly in the "tails" of distribution not only have different voice characteristics (how they produce the sound) but also different response curves, that is, that they hear the sounds differently?
An interesting post in need of a reference to past work:

Although for most people the risk of forgetting a password and that way losing their documents forever is so many magnitudes higher than the NSA reading those mostly harmless documents.

I'm with you, it's just not a big enough time saver to be worth it beyond the novelty IMHO. Also it's way easier to store some dried pasta vs. this hydrated pasta (that presumably has to take up some precious refrigerator space?).
Subsidized rooftop solar is now cheaper than artificially expensive electricity in 42 American cities.

Electricity from natural gas costs $0.03-0.05/kWh to produce and deliver.

Anything beyond that is mark up; either profit or regulatory.

http://www.wolframalpha.com/input/?i=%28natural+gas+price+to...
Also, you can't have these solar panels without the power companies. The solar panels only produce electricity while the sun is up so the people with solar panels are essentially using the utilities as free batteries - produce power during the height of the day when less power is needed and use more power ~5pm when the grid is at its max.
I'd be curious how many people feel like they have automated test suites that achieve greater than 90% coverage of user actions (presumably this means the tests are at the integration level). Really good integration test suites are definitely great for catching regressions and being confident in making changes, but in my experience they are also difficult to build, slow to run, and expensive to maintain. Which is why, I think, people often focus more on getting high coverage of unit tests, which are much lower cost, but not nearly as useful for catching regressions.
The second part off my complaint is the difficulty of getting up-votes. It's almost impossible it seems.

Google intends to release a version that will work with the iPad/iPod Touch (no VoIP calls, at least at first, but you'll be able to use texts and access your voicemail).
heh, this 'leak' probably was on purpose and from a machine that is so old/blocky/pixilated to make the public see this as a non-issue. The images leaked look NOTHING like the ones at http://dontscan.us/ .... If the general public see this as what is being fought against, they'll probably think it isn't even worth a fight.

Nevermind that this is proof that the government broke a promise to never store/transit the information from these machines. That won't raise enough of a fuss because people are used to being lied to. That and we have a bunch of spineless politicians backed by spineless scared populace who would trade every liberty for just a little more 'security'.

Nothing makes me more angry than people who don't want to be responsible for their own actions.
In what sense is that anything other than bribing government officials?
You could easily put them into a separate package if you wish:

Your question is relatively meaningless, since 'bytecode' covers such a wide gamut of possibilities.

Python's bytecode is very high-level and basically just saves the expense of parsing the code. The interpreter is not JIT-ed and thus very slow (compared to machine code).

Java's bytecode is much less dynamic. 'a + b' can execute arbitrary code in python, but in java it is known at compile-time whether it is addition between native types or string concat. Java has a very good JIT compiler and thus can be as fast as 1.5x the speed of c.
It's very poetic sentiment but doesn't really address the issue of trade-offs.

Is writing if a { .. } else {} so much worse than if a then .. else .. end (Ruby requires then/end instead of {}.

Python's indentation based syntax (which I think is great) cleverly solves the problem of requiring explicit statement delimiters but it's also a reason why lambda: is limited to one-liners. There's no free lunch.

To Go's credit they did put a lot of effort and design thought into removing line noise from syntax (compared to C) by e.g. adding an automatic semi-colon insertion rule, eliminating braces around if argument etc.

Overall, while syntax is not as clean as Python's, it comes pretty damn close.
The problem with the get-groped-then-call-cops approach is that most TSA employees will tell you that they're about to touch you, giving you the implicit option to leave (which of course costs $10k but is still an option). This particular employee did not give Penn this choice, which is what makes it assault.

Further, it's been mentioned elsewhere that the Supreme Court determined that TSA does have the authority to detain you in the airport, which means that even if you choose to walk out and risk the fine, they can still physically restrain you without legally assaulting you.
That's not experience, that's advertising.

This is unrelated to the actual content of Thiel's remarks, and perhaps I'm just oblivious/ignorant.

Why would anyone want to associate themselves with anything to do with Nixon? It's surprising prominent figures would want any association to Nixon and his disgraced legacy. I think overall its peculiar how much influence and esteem Nixon managed to retain after his resignation.

But Governments rarely have a fine based on the entity's revenue, let alone calculating fine based on the impact of the negligence like this. I guess FB has decided even if GDPR fine is triggered, paying that is better than reminding half-billion users that using their platform is dangerous.

I've witnessed while literally getting sick due to the compliance burden when running the company as a single person i.e. in make sure I don't fall behind any of them; Large companies calculating the expenditure to 'fix the fine' if raised by the Govt. after several years and deciding NTGAF as the fine/fix is 'negligible' for them.
Rodent studies aren't really great for measuring this because it's nearly impossible to control for the rodents' enjoyment of each exercise.

We know that rodents enjoy running wheels because they use them voluntarily. It's not surprising that the exercise they enjoy is the one that seems to produce the most benefits.

For humans: Doing any exercise is better than doing no exercise. Doing frequent exercise is better than doing infrequent exercise.

The most important thing is to pick an exercise that you enjoy, so you'll be more likely to get out and do it and less likely to come up with excuses to skip a day.

Even better: Find an exercise that includes some social activity, even if it's just getting outside and seeing other people in passing as you run past or being in a gym near other people. Social exposure is great for mental health, so combining it with exercise is a good one-two punch.

We do have some human studies on BDNF (measured via serum, because we can't get into human brains obviously) and exercise: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3772595/ They didn't study different types of exercise, but they did find that longer duration exercise produced greater elevations of BDNF. You don't have to run marathons to capture some of this benefit. A long walk is good enough to get started.
I really liked this video: the guy first walks you through how to build your own git-like utility with a handful of shell commands, then goes and walks through an actual git repo:

Even the first 20 minutes was enough for me to have a substantially better understanding of how git works.
Eh, I have the opposite experience. When I was a beginner in a any language, RTFM didn't work for me because:

A) Reading a manual requires some requisite knowledge due to esoteric references.

B) RTFM is a skill in and of itself.

C) Manuals rarely mention corner cases or "gotchas" which can cause confusion to a beginner.

D) Manuals never comment on best practices, which tutorials do.
ARM doesn't make anything either - it's 100% IP just like Redbull.

And RAMBUS is/was another.

This is a quite viable business model. It's largely the reason why Intel is on the skids but ARM is in ascendency: no one company is smart enough to think through all the optimal product expansions and product extensions possible with a good idea.
Oh very interesting. I only need Vagrant support and then I can fully switch to M1 in the future. Looks like this could be the successor for Virtualbox on Mac M1.

Wonder if this also helps developing for x86 Docker too (which is a major pain point on M1 Mac).
> I think CAD constraints would always be expressed in a linear system

Typically, you want to at least be able to express the lengths of lines, and the values of angles. I don't know how you could do this without using at least quadratic terms. So you have to do at least quadratic programming, and there's some things that can add higher degree terms.

Moreover, extremely similar problems are studied in automated geometric theorem proving, and they also get pulled into using polynomials.

Unfortunately, these problems are much much harder than linear programming.

There's some really powerful tools from algebraic geometry, mainly Grobner Bases, which you would ideally want to use. They're ridiculously powerful. Not only can you use them to solve systems of polynomial equations, but you can also test whether a set of equations implies another polynomial, or conflicts with another polynomial -- super useful for dealing with over-constrained models.

Tragically, the relevant algorithm is O(exp(exp(n))) -- well, or at least, that's the best upper bound anyone can probe, in practice it isn't that bad. Still, I quickly ran into computational problems. Grobner bases, also, while great are tricky to work with if you only want real valued solutions. They like to give you complex valued solutions to problems, and complex valued solutions to your CAD constraints are usually not what you are looking for.

> How does gradient descent work with over-constrainted models ? (as in: impossible to satisfy all constraints). You need some way to back out of those or relax one of the constraints.

In my implementation, each constraint was a separate cost function, which I added together. Normally, when you run the solver, it pushes all the constraint costs to zero, and you know you've solved everything.

Sometimes it would get stuck in a local minimum and require user intervention to help it get to the right solution. That was surprisingly rare.

If you have conflicting constraints it simply fails to reach a cost of zero at all. You can handle that in your interface however you like. The obvious thing is to try and solve a constraint immediately after adding it and then reject the constraint if you can't.

(I really didn't expect a local optimization method like gradient descent to work so well, but it did. That said, if I attacked the problem again I would try to use some sort of second order optimization method, I think.)
The article goes into browser support, saying "SVGs have been supported in all browsers since 2012". SVG is far from a cutting edge new thing.
Considering Microsoft doesn't even support ie11 any more, no one else should.
My understanding is that you're still on finasteride for the rest of your life with a hair transplant.
Sounds better, when possible, to just avoid platforms like that
> To maximize your impact, then, teaching must be central to your strategy. This means documentation, tutorials, examples, videos, tweets, and more.

I think this is one of the main reasons the FastAPI framework is very successful. The documentation teaches you about everything and doesn't assume any prerequisites besides general Python knowledge. I've used it recently, and it's such a delight to work with.
Third party eval with specific job
I believe helium is used due to it being more effective than air at removing heat. Vacuum is significantly less effective (as in, no convection in a vacuum)
Trader Joe’s makes me irrationally angry about cheese prices at other grocery stores, especially Safeway and Kroger.
I don't think it's necessary that he "know or should have known" what he was getting into. We have shitloads of people with top secret clearance in this country. In order to view certain documents for various jobs, it's just a clearance you have to have. There isn't a requirement to know the larger picture, and where you stand, with any specific accuracy.

Do you believe it's plausible to change your views? I think the most likely situation is that he thought he knew what he was getting into, and, through his access to lots of top secret documents, ended up learning more things, and thus changed his mind.

I mean seriously, have you never gotten into a situation where you learned information that changed your mind?
There should be automatic algorithms in place to detect availability of such public posts in realtime and perhaps notify the local authorities. So that they can stop the suicide, of course.
You are just now filling the full oppression that minorities have been suffering since this country's inception.

We aren't even close to that. So far the NSA hasn't done anything like beat someone and leave them to die in the road.

I'm totally on board with the idea that pervasive surveillance smothers society if for no other reason than its presence causes self-censorship like the groklaw situation. But until it comes out that the NSA has been maiming and killing innocents we aren't on the level of what those minorities have had to suffer.
Right, but what if you're borrowing a computer. I completely agree, it's more private, but it might lose some of the ease of use.

I think a bug rain that things like Statemic and other databaseless systems are popular is because they kinda offer the best of both worlds: they have the online editor, and command line-less interface, the popular content management systems; and they have some of the simplicity of today's static site generators, namely the use of a simple markup language, and a last file system.

I see the appeal, and have visited considered building my own, but haven't because my existing Jekyll/custom python systems work fine for me right now.
You're spoiled :P

But, windows is (unfortunately) a bit of a second class platform at the moment (although there have been some very big strides in the last week or so). So part of the reason for poor windows packaging is Rust isn't ready on windows yet (even more so that its normal pre-alpha-ness on Linux and Mac).
I think the argument is very simple, really.

Prior to the American Revolution, British Magistrates were giving the police "general warrants" that let them search whatever they wanted and this lead to all kinds of abuses of power. This is why we require that search warrants are reasonably scoped.

We have come full circle (ironically our most recent "President George" was the third President named George, so I like to affectionately call him President George III) back to a time of general warrants. We can expect that the same kinds of abuses of power will occur.

This means, effectively that the government can decide that someone is an annoyance to them and then look back at all of their communications for evidence of a crime, and then try the individual for very vague crimes in court. Checked face book at work? Are you guilty of using your work computer in excess of what your employer authorized? Worse is it wire fraud?

In the end we end up in a world dominated by government officials who can and will adopt the same mentality of Stalin's chief of police, Beria, who was purportedly quoted as saying "show me the man and I'll find you the crime."
I believe it. I love the Yahoo homepage. And when I'm with a group and someone mentioned something obscure... just about everyone mutters - "oh yeah, I saw that on Yahoo."

Keep in mind, these are not a geeky bunch, I'm the only redditor among them. We're talking about people who use their phones for everything and the computer to browse the web or answer an email.
