Sure, that demonstrates the issue.
Problem is with using train_test_split(X, yy, test_size=0.2..) - this assumes independent samples, which is violated for this dataset (because some come from same source audio files). The easiest (and completely acceptable) is to use one fold as the validation data, one fold for the test set, and the remaining folds as training.

This problem is unfortunately quite common even in academic papers using this dataset, even though the authors warn about it.

EDIT: There is one more issue with Urbansound8k folds, and that is that the difficulty of the various folds is quite different. So one should ideally report the performance across all folds (mean/std or boxplot). But this is a minor issue compared to data leakage.

PS: Nice use of Comet.ml platform this, collaborating online on improving the experimental setup :)
I'm in the UK, so all of these companies are either primarily based in the EU, or do business here.

GDPR has put some fear back in, but even today there are loads of companies that simply don't give a shit, and will happily risk it all so that they don't have to adapt their practices from years ago. In my experience, smaller companies are the worst offenders, because they know they are small fry.

Pipdig are a UK company, and have been actively caught using malicious code with proof, yet they're still running without a care in the world. This all happened recently too, so it's not like it's a pre-GDPR or pre-ICO crackdown issue.
Somehow other countries manage. For some reason Americans are simultaneously considered innovative and can-do minded but they are also so quick to throw up their hands "nope, can't be done"-style on so many issues that just don't exist elsewhere.
Battery is also a limited resource. As is developer time. Why is memory the most important one to optimise for?

If you want Dropbox to reduce memory use will you start complaining that they’re fixing fewer bugs or syncing is taking longer?
it's possible to build enough of their tooling from open source parts to build Mac and iOS apps on linux, but that's rather on the extreme side.

And yes, that includes notarization support.
You're probably right. Although he doesn't mention the write barrier, this is usually required for a generation GC.
Just get a VPS with an outfit like MediaTemple. You can start off with their cheapest and move up as you need.
> Self healing is a unique capability that, as far as we know, the Azul collector is the only one to do, and it can only be done with a read barrier.

The Metronome GC from IBM Research (http://www.research.ibm.com/people/d/dfb/papers/Bacon05High....) also uses a read-barrier to fix up pointers to objects which have moved.

Although, I don't think it does marking in the read barrier.
Car sex auto-recorded ? No, thanks
Honestly I’m surprised they haven’t built something in-house. Actually, I’m not: accounting and payroll software isn’t core to what they do so best to buy it.
I doubt that we have extracted even 1% of the valuable, accessible non fossil resources of Earth yet, and while I know that the more valuable materials are also harder to extract, the moon is currently 100% unutilised, so the idea of near term war for resources on the moon seems like an extrapolation too far for me.

That’s not to say that there is no chance of war on the moon, given enough time as you say, but “enough time” IMO is centuries, at which timescale any kind of prediction is really just a guess.
Where is this possible? I've done some research but never found such a place.

When the topic comes up on /r/linux, the thread gets locked because no fruitful discussion can come of "He wasn't that bad!"/"Yes he was!"/"No, he wasn't!" ad nauseam.

"A mark of that success is that instead of resenting having been driven out of the middle class, people resent learning that they are not in it."

US economic output has remained on the same sharp rising slope since 1975 as between 1945 and 1975. But since 1975, all of that increased income has been diverted to the ruling class, while the rest of the nation has been stuck at 1975 levels.

If $300,000/y seems to you like upper-class income, it is purely because you have been made accustomed to a 1975 level of prosperity, while the ruling class lives on 2021 income it has since 1975 diverted to its own pockets.

The ruling class will not give up its diversion of income from your pockets to their pockets without a fight. Imagine how angry they would be at being made to give that up; you should, by rights, be more angry at their ongoing confiscation of your income.
For that to work, we need a new voting system, such as Instant Run-Off, or Approval Voting. Luckily, that can be implemented on a per-state basis, as every state determines its own voting procedures.

From the article:

> it said it would only accept new stock in its warehouses through early April if it was in one of six essential products categories, such as health and household goods or medical supplies

> The company said most of the products it was still accepting from third-party sellers and wholesale vendors fall into one of six categories: baby products, health and household, beauty and personal care, grocery, industrial and scientific, and pet supplies

Amazon doesn't have an infinitely large fulfillment network. Instead of being snarky, maybe we can acknowledge that Amazon is facing unprecedented disruptions in their normal demand patterns and supply chains, and they are making very reasonable efforts to handle them in the best way possible. Just like every other business that has been impacted by this pandemic.
The "rubber" seems to hold up fine. It's in a convection oven, I bring it to temperature, with a dish of water in it, and then bake it for 10 minutes. I have no idea if it's clean or not, of course.
There's one in iOS as well.
That may be too difficult. These things take time.
Oh man, lockpicking is something I got sucked into years ago. Lots of fun and really impresses/scares people when they see how "easy" it is.

Heh. That reminds me. The other thing that surprised me is just how complacent Americans are about the inequality.
"Nano startup". Like that.
This "privacy concerned" app has a myriad of analytics and tracking scripts which can read the transcript in local storage or log key presses (but are hopefully not be configured that way). Typical privacy friendly defaults like google analytics anonymize_ip are not set. There are no checks for the integrity of these third party scripts (a hack against them can lead to a breach of the app) and it does not ask for consent before connecting the user to these third party servers. There is also an error logging service (datadog) and i have seen other apps push all state info, including local storage and auth tokens, when any error happens. The promise of the recording and transcript not leaving the users computer in local-only mode may be true, if its implemented correctly.

The privacy policy looks halfway decent, a bit chaotic with no ToC and free-floating "legal basis" & "retention policy" that are independent from the concrete processing tasks, leaving them as abstract "we know the law" blocks of little value. The policy is very dominated by all the user behavior tracking and ad-tech integrations, while the processing of recordings/transcriptions is rather short. In a way that is good, but it is almost too short, given that it is the primary function: "transcripts" and "recordings" are not even a category of data in their policy, and they are not mentioned with any sub-processor, not even by the ones running the servers (a rather curious formal error, as one would assume a focus on their core business). There is a complete lack of "we keep small samples to improve the ML/AI" which i find inteersting, but which might be true.

There is a small note in the legal texts that the user must have the consent of the recorded people before uploading recordings to the server for automatic transcriptions, but there does not seem to be one in proximity to the upload function. (or at least they are missing from the screenshots in the guides, i did not register for a trial)
Good choice to use Platypus! I've collaborated with its author in the past and I have a lot of respect for him.

In general, I'm really glad you're talking about modern MOEAs. There's far too much material on the internet that hasn't progressed beyond Goldberg's GA.

This changed my perspective on this. I can see where you are coming from. We do have laws against inciting violence, but I'm not sure that covers this type of speech.
I didn't say that it isn't complex, only that it is real—and as such can be visualised as a transformation of the real plane, in which context one might still strive to understand its (complex) eigendecomposition.
I believe you have misread it - the commute is an hour +/- 10 minutes.
It can potentially be true but probably only to a certain extent. I find it tone deaf because the vast majority of people are getting by on much, much less. Which means almost by definition, it IS quite a bit. So to say it isn’t much comes across as oblivious to the way most people live, and potentially not aware of the problems that the average person faces. Would you complain to a person in a wheelchair about how bad it sucks to have to take the stairs to work even though it may still be true?

Giving the OP the benefit of the doubt, it may be COL dependent. But even in SV, $200k is nearly double the median household income and nearly 4x the median personal income. It reminds me of an article I read during the financial crises of 2007-2009 written by someone who was making the case that being a one-percenter doesn’t mean you have lots of money. She then later described her new Lexus payment, costs of private school, oversized mortgage etc. Both can be true iff that is considered a reasonable lifestyle for the average person. To be generous to the OP, the average way an American lives is probably not the best measuring stick (e.g., something like 60+% can’t meet an unexpected $500 bill. However, just like the OPs statement, I tend to think this is related more to lifestyle choices)
But this set of conditions may not be widely accepted.

Say I had all those traits and you decided I was a 10x and now I've got my shiny label and I'm happy.

Then I come across someone else with a stricter definition and more requirements. They say I'm not 10x. Who do I believe?

Because there's no widely accepted standard, it just ends up being a game of finding the right people who like the qualities that you possess.
dont worry - the us will bail them out like we did in 2008 when they directly caused the housing market crash.

it's priced in at this point. there is no such thing as accountability in the finance industry anymore. Make bad decisions, get bailed out. All of them are moral hazards.

Over my lunch break today I threw a pork shoulder on my smoker. It will be ready at dinner time, just as I finish work.

Yeah. I'm never going back to an office.
Isn't analyzing case-by-case exactly what remote work is though? Obviously some people really like working at home in isolation and some people like the social aspects of being in an office. But with a remote-first company you have the option. If you want to work at home you obviously can and if you want a more social work environment then you can rent a co-working space (hopefully your company could even foot the bill with all the money they are saving on office rent) or co-work with a group of friends, etc.

I think a lot of people who have worked remotely for the first time due to COVID have a misleading impression of what remote work is. In normal times you have ample options to be able to work in an environment with other people if that's what you want. You also have the option to spend the time you save on commuting doing other non-work social activities.
on the one hand, yes: folks worked for a company that lost money. So some of this is on them. However, I strongly suspect that the risk was not in any way clearly communicated to them. And you're ignoring the fact that they clearly have the resources to pay the founder another $600m or so.
"The widespread misimpression that data + neural networks is a universal formula has real consequences: [...] in what students choose to study, and in what universities choose to teach."

I think this is a problem that deserves more attention. A large portion of CS students nowadays choose to focus on Machine Learning, many brilliant CS students decide to get a PhD in ML in hope of contributing to a field that will continue to develop at a pace similar to the progress we have seen in the last 7 years. This view, I think, is not justified at all. The challenges that AI faces such as incorporating a world model into the techniques that work well will be significantly harder than what most researchers openly admit, probably to the detriment of other CS research areas.
Depends. But the simple fact is if it’s REALLY important; you had better be doing it online and passing the result to the device.

I could tell you about hardware security modules (HSM) or the new ARM trustzone for small micros, but I’m designing new products so that if I handed you the source - you still can’t clone a board. That requires a connection to a better trusted device.
Huh - I guess I never thought about it. It makes sense to disallow it, though - column aliases are there to rename complex expressions, which you probably _shouldn't_ be grouping on anyway.
I feel you as someone who was in the same boat at that time. The reality is, these people are being let go at a time of historically low unemployment, they will be just fine and likely be able to get higher salaries elsewhere. I know a guy whose last real job was in 2009. He was older, but not yet at retirement age. He has been a cautionary tale to me though- always stay technical and hands-on. He was like many of that era where he just "managed" and while he was very smart, did not write a line of code- which might have been forgivable if the entire eng team wasn't 6 people (including him and a systems/network guy). Those types did not fare well in the recession.
> You can be very very good at something, but true mastery is being able to impart that knowledge on others as well.

Is that true though? How do we know that the ability to teach is not a unique skill in and of itself rather than just an extension of one's "mastery"?

Anecdotally, I've engaged with "masters" of various fields as different as blacksmithing to theoretical physics. Of these "masters", I've encountered good teachers and bad. But I've not personally felt any correlation between their mastery of the subject (i.e. their ability to produce results in the area) vs. their ability to teach the area.
Win95 is still probably the biggest software launch of all time. Coming from MSDOS, there has never been that kind of jump forward for PC users since.
I know of a legacy hosting solution that uses shared disks, but they also use a chroot wrapper for the sftp access to make sure a misuse of chmod doesn't leak data to other customers.

Allowing executable code (CGI, PHP) in such an environment is just a recipe for trouble.
I believe Elasticsearch doesn't allow restricting access by requiring login unless you pay for the enterprise version, which is just straight up stupid.
You can't police society in a fair, reproducible, and representative way either, but how many people want to get rid of police entirely? Only a tiny fringe.

Sometimes the grossly imperfect solution is still an improvement on no solution at all.

"Don't bother policing misinformation" can't have methodological flaws the way moderating can, because it's just the absence of something. But ultimately what I think most people care about isn't soundness of methodology, but the results, and so the question you have to answer is: is a popular platform that makes no effort to control misinformation healthier for society than ones that do make that effort?

Which is the rub, right? How can a non-expert reasonably come to a conclusion of whether or not an expert's prediction is baseless or is actually solid/insightful?
This is an interesting to think about. Say you're at an ice cream stand that has a Square Reader (the little square hockey puck reader) that's paired with an iPhone running Square's payment reader.

The merchant rings you up for $5, shows you the phone in their hand indicating the cost, and the Square Reader lights up to show it's ready for payment. You pay via inserting your credit card, which processes in a few seconds, and then the payment is complete. The merchant is no longer showing you the phone, and presumably hits "No Receipt".

However, the merchant actually has a second out of sight device that is set to charge $500 and is actually paired with the Square Reader. Because you've paid with a physical card, there's a good chance you won't notice the charge till you go to pay your credit card or check your bank account.

This would probably be a short-lived scam, as the merchant's malicious Square account would have to be linked to a bank (I think this is the only option), which would identify them. I'm pretty sure Square requires ID verification of some sort as well. So reporting this malicious transaction to your bank/credit card would flag them.

Additionally, if you're paying via a mobile wallet, you'll likely get an immediate notification saying "You paid $500 to Malicious Ice Cream Vendor".

Now let's think about Apple's new plan. It could be that Apple layer's it's own mandatory interface that shows "Pay $5 to Ice Cream Vendor" regardless of the app being used. Maybe this is actually the employee's phone instead of the company's device, but that's the same as the employee stealing cash out of the register, so not really your issue.

Or Apple could not layer it's own UI, and just open up the radio as an API. Apple could require that apps that use this API to have some additional verification to prevent someone from making an app that displays "Charge $5" when it's really charging $500.

All that being said, I only see smaller merchants using iPhones + Square Readers. Maybe some boutique stores, food trucks, etc. Once a store gets large enough, they usually want dedicated hardware, even if it's a Square Stand.

There are some glaring counter examples to your assertion.

The Catholic Church is the largest sect of Christianity, the largest religion. Protestantism (typically a smaller, more local organization) is actually a smaller branch, but has many megachurches.
I think the most generic approach is to prove existence and uniqueness and then go with numerical methods.
I'm fascinated by this comment, and I'm trying to figure out why. I think it's that the author makes good points about an interesting topic, uses correct english, and even draws upon relevant examples; yet, somehow the post has an overall feeling of clunkiness.

The author starts off with "But the very-literal should be reminded". Already any readers have to implicitly know that "the very-literal" refers to the specific group of individuals who have read the original post and also have a tendency to take things literally. It's not incorrect english, but since the word "literal" is more commonly used as an adjective, it does take a beat to realize that it serving to create a plural noun as part of "the very-literal". Again, not crazy strange, but it's a language device that is more commonly seen in other contexts rather than on Hacker News.

The reader might now be expecting the author to describe what specifically shouldn't be taken literally, but instead author continues with "the linguistic mechanisms of synechdoche & metonymy". I think it's a big leap to expect the reader to know:
a) what a "linguistic mechanism" is, ie, how does it differ from a phrase?
b) what "synechdoche" is
c) what "metonymy" is

So now not only is the reader still in the dark about what they shouldn't be taking literally, but now they are likely grappling with trying to understand these definitions unless they are in the likely minority of people who already understand all of these.

The author continues: "often result in a fuzzy use of parts, or regions, or emblematic examples, or associated items to mean some other closely-related more-amorphous entity." To me, this just reads as a poor redefinition of the previously mentioned terms. It's like saying "when words are used non-literally, it results in the non-literal use of words". It's not WRONG, per se, but it just leaves the reader more confused about what ultimate point the author is trying to make.

To the author's credit, this sentence is immediately followed up with two good examples of synechdoche; however, unless the reader previously understood its definition the ultimate point of these examples is lost. On the other hand if the reader did previously understand the definition of synechdoche, then these examples only further the previous redefinition. At this point, the reader still hasn't been told what they aren't supposed to be taking literally.

Finally, the author mentions "Silicon Valley", and it becomes more clear the the crux of this comment is regarding its definition. More examples are provided regarding the specifics of how "Silicon Valley" could be non-literally interpreted -- which is probably the gist of what the author was trying to convey in the first place, but it was buried 88 words into the comment.

All in all, this comment could be distilled down to: "Silicon Valley shouldn't be interpreted literally; it can be interpreted a few ways, here are some examples."

I find the freedom convoy thing very fishy, hear me out.

It is a bit suspicious that this is a grassroots movement actually against vaccine mandates, considering the attention and financial support it has been getting... and specially considering how the Canadian government is handling it. Trudeau dissappearing, no real possibility of negotiations, talks or anything... and who is even leading these protests? It seems very strange.

Even more strange is the likes of CNN publishing opinion pieces in favor of the protests: https://edition.cnn.com/2022/02/03/opinions/canada-truckers-...
I don't think there was a racial aspect in the sense that Germans were seen as more 'us'. We demonized both Germans and Japanese pretty similarly. There were Americans of German ancestry who changed their surnames to avoid discrimination and unpleasantness from other non German whites. I think we started firebombing Japan when it became difficult to tell industry apart from the general pop as they moved factories into non industrial areas
