603 | null | null | I'm afraid I disagree. There's no way you could multi-task all 30 open tabs at the same time. Read what you need and close the tab when you're done. Leave only the topmost page of the documentation open so you can find your way back down again if you need to. You should be able to tell whether a page has value to you or not within the first 30 seconds of skimming through it. Do you open every result on google for the first 3 pages of all your searches or something?

616 | null | null | While his reply seems like a hammer in search of a nail, his general point has merit, and is something that has been a topic of contention recently in deep learning (with Ali Rahimi's NIPS talk).<p>What he calls formal verification is what we would call regular math in machine learning.

617 | null | null | No, no, no.<p>> whatever penalty Keras might impose is equal in the two cases.<p>The penalty Keras imposes when using Tensorflow depends on its Tensorflow implementation. The penalty Keras imposes when using MXNet depends on its MXNet implementation. The penalty Keras imposes when using PlaidML depends on whatever the PlaidML devs implemented. When you build a Keras layer, it's calling different <i>Keras code</i> for each backend.<p>The comparison would be fair if Plaid claimed to be the fastest Keras backed, not if it were actually claiming to be faster than Tensorflow. | null | argonaut | null | 1,514,201,036 | "2017-12-25T11:23:56Z" | comment | 16,003,719 | 16,003,381 | null | null | null |
618 | null | null | Interesting. I <i>thought</i> the terms had changed. While I'm sure not everyone will agree, the new ones seem to make a lot more sense. After all, if you had the money why would you run a Kickstarter (other than for the marketing/feeling out the market) if you were really, truly, personally on the hook to give it all back no matter what? And, if you didn't have the money before the Kickstarter, there's pretty much an inherent risk that things are going to go south as in this case.<p>I understand Kickstarter wanting to keep the pressure on project creators while minimizing the perceived risk in the eyes of funders, but the current TOS seems to mirror the reality much better than the old one.

627 | null | null | I will be bias here as I made my own ORM (for typescript and postgre, no less), but I have to hard disagree. As other comments have pointed out, ORMs are about productivity, getting persistence done quickly.<p>Also what you just said is widely applicable - by your thinking, all programming languages are "a waste of time" and an excuse to not learn how to write binary files/machine code by hand?<p>Also, it doesn't have to be black and white - ORM or no ORM. No one is forcing you to choose between using an ORM for all of your persistence or not using an ORM for anything. It is continuous - you can use ORMs for a *proportion" of persistence logic.<p>Few more points, but I think the drift is caught. | null | samhuk | null | 1,665,277,155 | "2022-10-09T00:59:15Z" | comment | 33,137,449 | 33,134,802 | null | null | null |

643 | null | null | With the "newline after prompt" scheme, you only get one extra line per query.<p>Which, if the query is long (e.g. longer than 20+ lines) it's not gonna make any difference anyway -- it's not like it matters if you can fit e.g. 24 or 23 lines of a 30 line query (besides, the result rows are gonna take much more vertical space, further making the measly 1 extra line issue moot).<p>As for for multiple small queries (and one extra line after each of those prompts), you can always scroll. And, again, the results are gonna take far more vertical space than the single extra line per prompt.<p>And, of course, with the full horizontal space available (and not half wasted by dots) you get to fit more characters in each line, and thus your queries will probably end up using FEWER lines.<p>So, not only the extra line from the "newline after prompt" is no big deal vertical-space wise, but the dot scheme wastes MORE vertical space AND renders queries unpastable. | null | coldtea | null | 1,500,394,117 | "2017-07-18T16:08:37Z" | comment | 14,797,645 | 14,797,358 | null | null | null |

645 | null | null | I always take the advice of "push through the pain" as pushing through the pain of exhaustion, which will contribute to strength and your ability to push beyond current physical limits; whereas the advice of "listen to your body and stop when it hurts" is more related to injuries - if you have a constant muscle cramp, or joint pain, or a stress fracture, or a ligament issues... REST and recuperate.

All it does is give everything a red tinge, but the light intensity remains the same. I feel like it is cooking my eyeballs and blurring my vision.<p>I have working alternatives now neither of which work well with multi-screens and neither of which are sophisticated as f.lux, but they do reduce the intensity of my screens which is what I want.<p>One is "Dimmer" which I use on my left screen and the other is the built in Nvidia tool to reduce brightness, contrast/gamma etc, which I use on my right screen.

651 | null | null | > Specialist medicine beats finance in many ways, particularly lifestyle. (Autonomy, work hours, vacation).<p>If you're in private practice, <i>maybe</i>, but that's really not the case anymore. And in any case, private practices are a dying breed. If you're an employed doctor, you have essentially zero autonomy with regards to your practice, your work hours aren't that flexible (or forgiving), and you don't get that much vacation time.<p>What you describe certainly did apply to doctors one or two generations ago, and still applies to some of the outliers today, but it's not true for the vast majority of doctors anymore, and the direction of the trend is very clear and has been for many years.<p>> As always going to a top school changes the calculus significantly compared to everywhere else.<p>Not as much as the residency and/or fellowship does. The top schools charge more, but <i>ceteris paribus</i>, the residency is a better predictor of how much money you can make. Both of those effects, however, are swamped by whether or not a doctor actually lasts long enough after their fellowship to become one of those incredibly lucky high-earners. As much as people might not want to believe it, specialty medicine <i>is</i> a very competitive and cut-throat world, and there's a reason that so many would-be doctors burn out before ever seeing the thick paychecks referenced in this thread.<p>> I don't believe the 30 year figure for specialists<p>It's true, though if you choose not to believe it, I'm not going to argue the point further. | null | chimeracoder | null | 1,407,095,248 | "2014-08-03T19:47:28Z" | comment | 8,128,925 | 8,123,901 | null | null | null |
652 | null | null | I believe you are correct about the current implementation of AIs as they try to minimize a loss function or maximize a reward. I also agree that the definition of consciousness is very subjective.<p>In my opinion, what's missing for conscious AI is a way to model causality. If we ever achieve that it's just a matter of computational resources since an AI can seep through the cause and effect chain (graph maybe) until it finds what needs to be done to obtain a wanted outcome. That is critical thinking and which I strongly associate with consciousness and/or intelligence. | null | marcyb5st | null | 1,617,022,533 | "2021-03-29T12:55:33Z" | comment | 26,620,833 | 26,620,550 | null | null | null |

660 | null | null | Maybe I can explain better. There are two concerns. One is, what is ethical and right for a person to do? On this we agree. Building botnets to spam Twitter is not ethical and people shouldn't do it.<p>The other concern is, what should we do about it? This is where I "chastised" you, because focusing on the ethical behavior of <i>members of the public</i> is generally useless. If the people commenting here didn't do it, someone else would. That doesn't excuse them, but it does mean going after them isn't an effective strategy.<p>Imagine trying to fight email spam by shaming individual spammers. Many people have done it. It doesn't work. If those people had redirected their energy towards fixing the system, rather than the people, the spam problem could have been solved decades ago.<p>> The HN mods could grab the IP history of the fraudster user and pass them to twitter.<p>Besides setting a bad precedent for HN, this would be useless. Twitter already has access to much more information than the BBC did when they did their investigation. Twitter simply doesn't care to act on it. If it was a priority for Twitter, they would fix it, certainly not by bringing a lawsuit, but by applying a technical solution across the board.<p>By blaming the bad actors, you take heat off of Twitter, and encourage people to waste their efforts doing things that will never make a difference. | null | inimino | null | 1,485,671,796 | "2017-01-29T06:36:36Z" | comment | 13,512,632 | 13,511,066 | null | null | null |

682 | null | null | > Cambridge Associates, a global investment firm based in Boston, tracked the performance of venture investments in 27,259 startups between 1990 and 2010. Its research reveals that the real percentage of venture-backed startups that fail—as defined by companies that provide a 1X return or less to investors—has not risen above 60% since 2001. Even amid the dotcom bust of 2000, the failure rate topped out at 79%.<p>I am wildly skeptical of these numbers, and could not find the actual study after a quick search on Google. It seems to ignore seed investments for starters, and many "exits" (acquihires) aren't public information, so how they quantify this is ambiguous.<p>If we consider a startup to begin when someone decides to quit their job and work on it full-time and a successful exit as a positive ROI to most investors in less than 10 years, I'd estimate the number as closer to 99% (most people never get any funding for their startups at all).

All the while Facebook stole their good ideas while Twitter sat on them doing nothing. | null | partiallypro | null | 1,477,614,156 | "2016-10-28T00:22:36Z" | comment | 12,811,733 | 12,811,609 | null | null | null |

691 | null | null | I can sort of understand where you're coming from — manual memory management can be difficult, and doing it improperly can cause bugs. However, in my experience, we're very far from having a magical solution for memory management. C++ definitely isn't it, and while Rust does bring significant advances in this field, it's a very large and complicated language. Unfortunately, the memory management strategy of every other language I've tried introduces performance penalties that make it unsuitable for e.g. video games. Trust me, I really wish this weren't the case! :(<p>Until we have some kind of significantly better solution that solves all memory management problems, I would rather work in a simple language that lets me carefully do everything myself, and if that language is also an improvement over C, I'm happy. However, that's just me, and I can fully appreciate that others are free to choose the tools that are good for them! | null | vladharbuz | null | 1,650,876,787 | "2022-04-25T08:53:07Z" | comment | 31,151,997 | 31,151,937 | null | null | null |

695 | null | null | All of those people have relationships with people already on campus, and many of them are given IDs if they're there long term. If you're just some guy with a backpack who hangs around campus for no reason and no one know what you're doing there, people are going to notice, at least where I'm from.

696 | null | null | Pressure cooking is very common in some countries, but I'm only familiar with the simple mechanical pressure cookers (that work on gas or induction stoves).

697 | null | null | Oh how terrible... Taxes on 300 million in transactions by people who mostly don't affect my life directly at all were nefariously prevented from falling into the hands of noble government agencies that would spend them on wonderful things like severely bloated bureaucracies, wars, military equipment for local police, violent swat teams, grotesque drug war operations, pork projects and so forth. It's an absolute tragedy. I know that government spends much on many necessary public projects, but it also wastes vast quantities of tax dollars (arguably much more than is lost to money laundering or tax evasion) on boondoggles. Thus, at some point, it would be a good idea to also question the moralizing logic of associating all lost tax revenues with crushing losses to the "public good". Focus can also be made on simply forcing vast existing tax revenues to be used better, no?<p>Also, note: Libertine is not the same as libertarian, might want to know the definitions of basic terminology before slinging accusations of ideological bias.<p>made a couple edits. | null | helloworld11 | null | 1,629,390,919 | "2021-08-19T16:35:19Z" | comment | 28,235,955 | 28,233,384 | null | null | null |
