> If you train a model to mimic a performance given by an actor, then use that model and fire the actor, isn't that potentially really problematic?

And if you have to keep getting a person paid for something that a machine could do with (assuming, as per your post) 100% equal performance, that is not problematic? When the voice becomes as good as real actors, then yes of course they should become out of a job. Just like progress has been going on for thousands of years.
I’m not sure if this is what you’re looking for, but me and my colleagues created a tool (https://github.com/zalando-incubator/transformer) to convert actions recorded in a browser (in har format) to Locust scenarios. Recorded state (like cookies) can be programmatically removed by user-defined plugins.

That's not a huge barrier though. The restaurant didn't have some outlay of capital for that hardware that is going to motivate their decision to switch. When they cancel their OpenTable contract, they'll just send the hardware back.

This seems like an opportune space for a startup to compete in. You could easily sell the online reservation service for a fraction of what OT is charging and just skip the hardware nonsense. The hardware and table management system could be a separate product or service.
If your database is on a socket then that would mean tests are running on a production machine, which just seems crazy. If it is on TCP than that means access isn't restricted properly. At any rate how is this Rails specific?
Well.. Depends really. The benefits you receive is not limited to that one company (people you meet, network, advice, etc)... Those transfer with you if you later start another company, and another. It could turn out to be really cheap in the long run.
> save a lot of lives

Between 1994 and present there have been approximately 3,000 Americans killed from international terrorism (http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC1730293/pdf/v011...). That's about one annual death per every two million people, or a whopping twice your risk of death by lightning strike (http://www.bls.gov/iif/oshwc/cfoi/jeh5_05_45-50.pdf). >150 times more people die in car crashes every year.

Say what you will about the benefits, but saving a lot more lives is not among them.

I did it for the main test database, and STILL felt like crap. SO many headaches.
True, but he was a professor and/or academic researcher for about 20 years before founding the Media Lab. Partly it's because he was originally in architecture, and art/design fields didn't used to insist on professors having PhDs as strongly as they now do (masters or MFA used to be sufficient, and MFAs sometimes still are).
This tautology appears to be a tautological tautology.
There seems to be a major uncontrolled variable in this study, namely external expectations of what you should be doing.

I found, as a kid up through college, that I was happiest when my mind was wandering. As a kid, I also had no expectations about what I should be doing - I basically decided that homework was bullshit as a young teen, so I could do whatever I wanted and not feel guilty about it.

That changed once I got into the working world and suddenly was responsible for my own success. Now, whenever my mind wanders, there's a little voice that goes off in my head and says "But you're not being productive! Nobody cares what you think about, they only care what you do."

It seems like a reasonable hypothesis to say "people are happiest when they're doing whatever their internal value system says they should be doing." And it's consistent with the data. People were least happy when resting, working, and using a home computer, which are also the times that social expectations are highest that you actually should be working. They were most happy when having sex, exercising, and conversing - but nobody expects you to do a job while having sex.

I'd like to see the data broken down by age group and cultural values, and in particular, I'd like to see if it holds true for cultural groups that do not have the same focus on productivity and achievement as middle-class Americans.
With all the little icons, I generally forget which one I clicked in the first place. Then I remember that I used Google's, but forget which email address. It's not so much forgetting because I have a bunch of OpenID accounts, it's that I don't use it enough to remember the one that I do use.

Just give me the "Save username and password" option in Firefox and I'm happy.
> That seems to prevent - at least in theory - the whole hivemind behavior.

It might, if "legitimate" evidence, "solid" reasoning, and "respectful" discourse weren't all subjective terms where people's subjective impression will be substantially influenced by agreement/disagreement with the thesis of the post.
I disagree with your post. When you represent one thing and do another, it is call lying and it is a slippery slope.

What happens if you prime the pump with using questionable means and it works?

* You now have a lead a growing company. You are the moral compass of the company. Are you the guy to say they should be acting ethically even when it is harder to do so? Do you expect people to believe you? If they don't, do you expect them to respect you? Can you lead without that?

* How much trust can there be between people that know you will shave the edges if there's immediate gain? How long until this behavior results in a bunch of corporate sharks instead of a team working on a goal together?

I lead. I have been right here. CPAPAuction.com isn't a huge business and we need to project activity to grow, but damn it, the metrics are real. I run other businesses that have done better. The people working in those businesses know that those metrics are real too, as are their pay checks and managements communications relating to future prospects.

I've been in plenty of other situations where I could see no white or black to choose from even if I wanted to, only gray. In those dark times, you need people around you who know in their gut that you are moral.

I feel like I get it.

But the thing I get is that you never, ever pull this crap. You never give an inch when you aren't absolutely force fed an impossibly difficult situation. You let your people see you doing the work and what you get back in exchange is the ability to build strong teams, be wealthy and sleep at night.

Buy cheaper desks and put the money into integrity. Then earn it.

PS. If you answer posts/list items/take the action your website exists to facilitate and identify yourself as with the company, I see no moral issue. If you don't identify yourself, I do see that as being dishonest with your user base and by extension, everyone associated with your company.
It's all in how you approach programming. If you view it as a puzzle and enjoy finding new ways to optimize some workflow it can be very enjoyable. Yes there are tedious moments, but those goes with just about any career out there and I'd argue that programming has a lot less tediousness compared to other jobs out there.

The question to ask yourself, is if you are finding programming not fun, is this really the career path for you? Don't waste your time doing something you don't enjoy.
I had the same response.

The way the article is written stinks of vagueness, imprecision, and general overgenerality. Meaning evaporates under the intense heat of simplification and excessive abstraction.

The author does nothing more than suggest that wasted time is a bad thing--which is obviously tautological.

It certainly makes us and the writer, who are external to "fake work" and clearly superior, feel good about ourselves. We can see this evil that most of the inferior idiots/sheeple/morons/minions/lackeys/middle-managers/people-from-the-wrong-country are outrageously blind to. There's not much going on aside from ego-stroking in the article.

(And yes, you could probably say the same about THIS post if you really wanted to get into it. I think it's important, though, to isolate articles trying to say concretely meaningful things from articles that are just here to make us feel good about ourselves at the expense of some indistinct others.)

Frankly, we have more leverage to fix systemic problems if we DON'T ragequit one problematic company after another.
"I point out to him no American president can be sustained as a president if he doesn’t reflect the values of the United States, and so the idea I’m not going to speak out against what he’s doing in Hong Kong, what he’s doing with the Uighurs in western mountains of China, and Taiwan, trying to end the One China policy by making it forceful … I said, and, by the, he said, he – he gets it. Culturally there are different norms that each country and their leaders are expected to follow."

My original thought:
Wow... Biden's stance is essentially it's a cultural difference.

Many countries have far worse standards of care than the US.

I live in Canada, and waited more than a year for a specialist. It took me 2 years to find a family doctor with decent reviews who was accepting patients . I needed an MRI once and the wait was measured in months. I waited four months for just a cortisone shot, before the pandemic.

I'm not claiming one system is better than another. Certainly if you're wealthy and have good benefits in the US, the standard of care is much much higher.

On the flipside, if you need cancer care in Canada you're probably not going to need to declare bankruptcy.
It should be fine. They most likely pack it with dry ice and ship it overnight or two day depending on the weather.
Genocide is a bit of a hyperbole if you looked at what happened to the Jews/Cambodia under Pol Pot/Rwanda Tutsi's and Armenians.

It would call it forced cultural assimilation by taking away their religion , language and culture and making them conform to the dominant Han culture.

Hey Andrew, it's Matt from our graduate research lab. This is exciting, congrats!

You always did make me thirst for more understanding of ML... guess I'll have to buy this book. Do you make more margins on digital or print copies?

By the way -- HNers -- if your company needs talent in data science, Andrew is easily one of your best candidates. His intuitive understanding and teaching of data and ML inspired me to be a better scientist. Andrew thinks critically and is also a great person to work with.

Hehe, yes. Reminds me of BootCamp. Before that, also nobody would have believed that Apple will ever allow that officially.
I haven't used them, but there are a variety of PHP compilers, like phc or Facebook's HipHop. I hear that they can really speed up PHP code.
AT&T has nothing to do with the "AT&T" N1, and 2.2 is not officially out for any N1 model, be it the T-Mobile version or AT&T/Rogers version.

The devices getting the Froyo update via OTA right now are a subset of the AWS-compatible phones that Google first released in January, and handed out to the press and Google employees. In other words, there's no Froyo update for the N1 made for the AT&T/Rogers bands because Google's not using them to dogfood the OS image right now.

edit: now if we get into how there are some apps you can't get on the Android Market because AT&T told Google you can't have them, that's something slimy that AT&T is doing. For example, if there's an AT&T SIM in your phone, the Market won't let you download PDANet. Pull the sim, though, and there it is...
Does anyone have experience working with WINE? (WINE Is Not an Emulator). Also switching from Mac to Linux (Ubuntu), but have a few applications that require Windows.
I agree with you, but it is still possible the they are only optimizing within a local minimum (ala Jason Cohen's latest blog post - http://blog.asmartbear.com/local-minimum.html).
Are you sure about that? All the evidence I've ever seen shows a significant payoff to college education. E.g. https://www2.ed.gov/policy/highered/reg/hearulemaking/2011/c... (which breaks things down by race, which should be a good proxy for coming from a disadvantaged background).

This is just a further result:

- You can't do it with a compass and a straightedge, like the ancients were trying (1880's?)

- You can't do it with scissors, either (mid-20th century?)

- But with modern mathematics, and really complicated shapes-- you can. (now).
Pinterest results come up in google images and you need an account to see them? Newspaper articles have paywalls? Don’t see the difference
Yes indeed, practically worldwide. As Larken Rose writes in "The most dangerous superstition":

"The purported purpose of schools is to teach reading, writing, mathematics, and other academic ﬁelds of thought. But the message that institutions of “education” actually teach, far more effectively than any useful knowledge or skills, is the idea that subservience and blind obedience to “authority” are virtues.
The “grades” the student receives, the way he is treated, the signals he is sent — written, verbal, and otherwise — all depend upon one factor: his ability and willingness to unquestioningly subvert his own desires, judgment and decisions to those of “authority.” If he does that, he is deemed “good.” If he does not, he is deemed “bad.” This method of indoctrination was not accidental. Schooling in the United States, and in fact in much of the world, was deliberately modeled after the Prussian system of “education,” which was designed with the express purpose of training people to be obedient tools of the ruling class, easy to manage and quick to unthinkingly obey, especially for military purposes. As it was explained by Johann Fichte, one of the designers of the Prussian system, the goal of this method was to “fashion” the student in such a way that he “simply cannot will otherwise” than what those in “authority” want him to will. At the time, the system was openly admitted to be a means of psychologically enslaving the general populace to the will of the ruling class. And it continues to accomplish exactly that, all over the world, including in the United States."
> ...and also look at the growth rates for future demand.

I would say that looking at the growth rate of future demand is a poor way to go about it unless you're also looking at the growth rate of future supply, for the same reasons mentioned in my original comment.
It looks like Bing SFW search is only Youtube, same as DDG. Only video search site I've seen lately is Petey Vid which searches the expected Vimeo, Dailymotion, but also Instagram, Twitter, Peertube, and a bunch of random non-US video sites.
I'm not sure I'd support that, but before they drop Quora they should consider dropping Answers.com. I don't think any reasonable person would argue that site isn't a complete waste of space.
Why is virtualenv a mess with multiple terminals ? pip install for root unless you activate a virtualenv in which case it installs in it. If you make an alias of . env/bin/activate it is very simple, no ?
You can teach them to do it yourself by bouncing back from Quora and going to another result. Perhaps it'll also encourage Quora to remove their paywall from search engine referrers, as many news sites have done.
There are, my friend was one. They did very big events that appeared very serious in my city. If nobody taught you about MLM, and you don't have any knowledge about cryptocurrency but you definitely don't want to miss out on the next Bitcoin, I can see how you would fall for it.
If your systems are Java, you'll hire people who can work in Java, and if the only thing your devs have in common is experience with Java, your new code will be in Java too.

The Japanese anonymous forum that inspired 4chan. It actually started of as 2 channel but various business and legal disputes happened.
Italian films recorded dialogue after as well, no? I'm not sure whether it's all sound, but you can clearly tell that the dialogue is dubbed. In Truffaut's Day for Night, the Italian actress Valentina Cortese mentions that with Fellini, the actors would recite numbers instead of lines. The most egregious instance is Antonioni's Red Desert, which stars Richard Harris, who I'm pretty sure did not speak fluent Italian with a perfect accent.
> arbiter of truth

They're really not though, that's part of their marketing. It seems like there is a long history of news media being used to push agendas, being arrogant, and running politically motivated smear campaigns.

They might occasionally tell the news without opinion but that seems like an added benefit, not their main goal.

What we have now is competition. The replacement for the mainstream media will just be more media and like always, people will have to determine for themselves if something is accurate. It's weird to think you believe our government, our lives, are so fragile that without mainstream media we degenerate into fools led by a strongman.
The article both:

- mentions Judea Pearl, and

- says that computers cannot handle causal reasoning

Judea Pearl is most famous for showing that it's possible to model causality mathematically. So, if you've heard of him, it seems reasonable you'd know this, and know that computers are good at doing math.
Austin TX here, it's the most bizarre thing I've seen. All trees, all objects, have a thin (couple mms) shell of clear ice. Evenly distributed all the way around, and then icicles on the bottom. It all appeared that first day (Thursday?) when we first had freezing temperatures and there was moderate rain at the same time. All of the trees are sagging, several branches have fallen just within the view of my house.
> Why weren’t we prepared to let students go through material on their own, and then have “classes” with teachers in smaller groups of 4-6 with the teacher preforming a mentor role, which is what worked best during the first lockdown?

Because in practice, this amounts to one teacher for 4-6 kids and assumption that kids are good at individual preparation.
Either that, or it's reactionary. It's not unreasonable to think that the high-profile nature of Apple's bug led others to do a code review.

Bunz's conclusion:
"The difference between empowering the user and manipulating her or him is
minimal, but decisive: it makes a difference whether the interface is empow ering you, or patronizing you while hiding it in bright, friendly colours and
the technique of infantilization. In a conversation about this contempo rary problem of interface designs, Robert Ochshorn (2014) pointed out that
there is, indeed, a fine line between ‘designing to empower a skilled user’
and ‘designing to prevent a user from feeling stupid’. This means that the
difference between the interface assuming you are intelligent and teaching
you to outgrow it, and patronizing the user by eliminating the possibility
of making mistakes while effectively controlling her or him, is difficult to
spot. Following Wendy Chun, who addresses the new media of today as
a habit, one can say that habits ‘are both inflexible and creative’ (Chun
10.1057/9781137437204 - Postdigital Aesthetics, Edited by David M. Berry and Michael Dieter200 Infantilization in Digital Environments
forthcoming 2015; Chun 2015, this volume), while Tiziana Terranova (2004,
83) has pointed out that online spaces cannot be conceived as ‘purely func tional’. As I have pointed out elsewhere (Bunz 2014, 50), this is a tendency
we find often when looking at the being of technology: technology is haunted
by an ambivalence – in this case, its potential to manipulate and its potential
to empower people.
Despite infantilization looking friendly and innocent, it might follow
other interests, and, at a time in which computers are becoming ubiqui tous, we need to be aware of this. Soon, infantilization might leave our
screens to be found on the things around us – Google has recently launched
a car with a smiling face. Being addressed as a child is ambivalent, and this
ambivalence is typical of our time: technology companies want people to
feel comfortable and play with their technology. At the same time, people
also need to take technology into their own hands, as learning how to use it
not only empowers them, but also shapes what technology becomes: school
will never end."

[Edit: Seems obvious companies try their best to make products that get people consuming more instead of producing more. Removing complexity from digital interfaces is a recurrent theme.]

About TFA, I believe everything has its place - open source shouldn't try to "win" and just do its thing. At the same time megacorporations devote greater and greater resources to bigger projects like the linux kernel.

This is not an indictement though... software is getting more complex and i.e. it's unthinkable now for anything but a very large company to make their own browser.

You are confusing cause and effect. The measure itself is the objective part. What you do or what you believe from that number is the subjective part.

If objectivity were important to you then you would use many measures.
I also use MetalLB and Rook. Can't say enough good things about them.

I have also used Kube-Router (https://kube-router.io - Digital Ocean's non Virtual networking plugin for bare metal environments; it puts your containers on your physical network, which is freaking neat) and loved that, but since I started deploying kubernetes with Rancher I've found for dev clusters I'm not caring about what networking is used.
