FWIW, here's my experience with the trail.

In April, about a decade ago, I found myself in Palm Springs with a free day after a conference. I did some web searches and found the Skyline trail listed as a day-hike. 15 km, about 10 hours climb. Excellent!! I went out to buy a gallon of bottled water, some jerky, some sweets and fruit, to prepare.

I started at 4:00 in the morning. It was a lonely hike. One other group caught up with me, and passed me. I was also passed by a lone guy, but he came back down a few hours later. By the early afternoon I had reached the snowline, a few miles from the top, a few hundred feet below the big rock. The trail, which already had been pretty vague for a while, was now buried under snow. I had no clue it would be so bad. I either had the choice of hiking down or trying to go all the way up. If I hiked down it would be dark by the time I got there, plus I would have been on my feet for almost twenty hours. Hiking up through the snow was insane, since there was no visible trail. I waited for an hour or so, unsure what to do. Two men I hadn't seen before, obviously prepared, with crampons and trekking poles, came up. They said they were going to the cable car and said I could tag along. I decided to follow them. They just scrambled up there, not even trying to find the trail. Those few hours or so in snow were the longest moments of my life. I got genuinely anxious, sinking knee deep, sliding down every once in a while. Sometimes they'd be so far ahead I would no longer see them; it scared the hell of me. When I reached the top, I saw them talking and joking at a picnic table. My sense of relief was enormously profound.

I think they probably thought I was an idiot. In hindsight, I obviously was.

The hike is spectacular, 10 miles straight up. As you go up, you go from desert to shrubs to alpine climate. All the while, you have a magnificent view over the valley. I've always wanted to redo it, better prepared and in fall. The older I get though, the less appetite I have it.

LSD was by far my favorite mind altering substance when I was taking everything under the sun at around age 18. I dosed heavily and had life changing experiences (some for the better, others that were deeply troubling), but one of the most stand-out experiences was when I took the advice of a friend and used it not to get high but to "figure out important questions." I took a very small dose, barely enough to qualify for what I typically considered a legitimate trip, and sat in the country for several hours thinking about what I wanted out of life. It was just enough to change my way of thinking enough to get outside my usual process and ended up being one of the most productive sessions of deep meditation of my life. I don't know that I would endorse doing this on a regular basis, or especially in a professional environment, but I definitely agree that a carefully moderated experience can be just right to help shift paradigms without losing touch with reality.

Indeed, the implementation is very simple. We had considered this idea some times as well, but like you didn't get around to implement/evaluate it yet. So, it's good to hear that it works.

One thing notably absent from the paper is a discussion of the trade-off between augmenting tokens with annotations in this way for sense disambiguation vs. data sparseness. Their approach may make the embeddings for frequent senses better, but the difficulty in WSD is typically in low-frequency senses. I think that particularly in disambiguation using part-of-speech tags, there is still a high semantic relatedness between senses, especially in languages with frequent nominalization or verbalization.

I can imagine that an model that predicts a target (or context) in decomposed form (token and label) might improve embeddings for low-frequent senses.
I've noticed Twitch has a similar problem. If you enable Twitch to tweet for you when you go live, you often get favorited by bots that advertise selling followers/viewers.
Most of the ratings are absurd and self-contradictory, but occasionally you get one that sounds right. I've downloaded the paper, but haven't read it yet.

This is what I mean when I say it's hard to imagine that someone who gets out of their house could argue with the value that Uber creates. If you can't see the difference between the uncertainty and wait times you get with a traditional cab company and Uber, you must never have had reason to use it. It's like reading one of those complaints about bicycles scaring horses from turn-of-the-twentieth-century newspapers.

I'm not trying to demonize for-profit work (at least not in this comment). My point is, there's money to be made off breaking the Internet, and there's little money to be made off fixing it.

Satisfying someone's needs doesn't justify anything. Not all needs are meant to be satisfied - especially if they conflict with the needs of others, whether directly or by generating externalities.

The social trust and fabric of society stuff is kind of too funny to even lampoon, but the first half is important: if you can generate consumer surplus by breaking the law, what exactly does that say about the law, and on whose behalf it's working?

> how much total programmer time was wasted re-learning

I don't see it that way. I think once you've used a few frameworks and languages, you 'learn' the concepts, the patterns and the ideas. I've programmed professionally in more than a dozen languages, and a lot of frameworks/libraries/tools. 'Learning' a new one doesn't worry me, because I don't have to learn it. Tools like SO, used as use-case based documentation let me very quickly turn the concept into the syntax I need, and make it fairly easy for me to use a new tool. If I use that tool a lot, I get familiar with it, and don't have to look up as much, but the minutiae of a tool isn't what makes you productive, I don't think.

It is difficult for a machine to be accountable for its decisions. It's not as simple as holding the manufacturer responsible, either.

With human decision-makers, at least you have a bunch of douchebags that you can point your fingers at and attach epithets like "obtuse and unempathetic". And we can hope that if we collectively do something, we'll be able to replace them with less dysfunctional folks.

With complex decision-making machines, it's not even clear whether a subtle bias it exhibits in its decisions is a sign of a bug or intentional design. The machine, of course, is capable of deep and broad analysis, but only of data that some group of engineers decided would be appropriate for it to analyze, using algorithms that were probably hand-tweaked by another group of engineers with their own individual quirks and unconscious biases.

Even the idea that a machine can be "smart" or "flexible" is based on a particular definition of "smart" and "flexible" that other people might strongly disagree with. And yet the machine presents an image of perfect objectivity, and its complexity makes it nearly impossible for outsiders to figure out exactly who or what is responsible for the many assumptions that underlie its design.

Moreover, the possibility of losing one's job is prettty much the only thing that keeps human decision-makers accountable in this world. Take that away, and we've got a benevolent dictator at best and a mechanical tyrant at worst, with the exact same quirks and biases, only hidden better.
Other ideas:

- since it seems to synchronize stats and inventory, you can map where the player killed most enemies/took most stimpaks so you can get a heatmap of enemy-rich zones and rank them by difficulty - divide killed enemies by health lost (or used stimpaks)

- there are sites like fallout4map.com which track the location of unique and hardcoded items, you can automate this now

It's funny because you probably grew up in a civilization and take it for granted.

> if you can generate consumer surplus by breaking the law, what exactly does that say about the law, and on whose behalf it's working?

It doesn't say anything. You can create consumer surplus breaking any law if you're willing to dump externalities elsewhere, on parties you don't count as consumers. A thief can for sure create consumer surplus by distributing stolen money among friends. So can the owner of a factory enrich the city by dumping toxic waste into a river, driving his costs down but poisoning people downstream.
Funny word that "encourage", right? In modern English it can mean anything from "allows something" to "literally tells you to do something".

My conclusion was that the welfare abuser stereotype absolutely does exist in reality and there are people who do become lazy because of welfare benefits on "1st world" countries.

Additionally, it was more of a huge scepticism than a "conclusion" and even that was supported by two additional arguments, not just that anecdotal evidence.
Fuck this kind of answer. Perfect capitalism ends up with a perfect world. Perfect socialism too. Or communism.

It's the way we corrupt each of them which is the problem, corrupted by people who want power. There's no way we have found of solving that yet. None.

So far, that we're still alive seems to be pure luck, and that we make it out alive or not, seems to also be pure luck or bad luck. We certainly ain't helping ourselves all that much.
Moreover, I think you will be hard-pressed to find someone who will argue that VHS or DVD provided better quality than Netflix et al.

Obviously, Blu-Ray provides better quality than today's streaming services, but the format never really took off in a big way among the general population.

It's a bit of a shame, since with Blu-Ray, you at least own something. It'll still work when somebody pulls the plug on some service.

I think it's an often forgotten (perhaps purposefully to push an agenda in some circles?) part of these discussions about corporations and business models. They're just driven by demand. It's not some shady nebulous force at work trying to screw everything and everyone.

Another problem, idealists often ignore the practical realities of a society when dreaming of their idealist visions for the future. Could the internet have turned into a purely free and perfect forum for communication? In an ideal world yes, but not in our flawed world where there are a host of competing contrasting ideas.

To the authors point. Technology is moving too fast for laws, governments and political systems to cope with. The political and legal constructs we use today are not radically different from 200 or 300 years ago. I don't know if there has ever been a time in human history where the rate of technological innovation and change has been moving at such a speed that the legal and political systems cannot stay synced with the change and have no chance of catching up due to the increasing velocity.

Here's the episode:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TQdOrE_PO0c

http://www.comedy.co.uk/guide/tv/qi/episodes/7/4/

"- The Arctic Highlanders got their cutlery from metal that came from three meteorites. A man called Ross (after whom Ross Sea is named and who was the first man ever to get up close to the North Pole) observed that a tribe of 200 Inuits in 1818, whom he was the first to encounter, made their cutlery from bone and from the metal taken from three meteorites that they named "The Woman", "The Dog" and "The Tent", after what they thought they looked like. The tribe thought that they were the only people on the planet before Ross met them. 70 years later, Admiral Peary, who claimed to be the first man to reach the North Pole (although the claim is now largely discredited) stole the meteorites and sold them to a museum for $40,000. He also took six Inuit children with him, four of whom died of tuberculosis immediately. One of them survived and was brought up by an American couple. He then discovered that his father's bones where a public exhibit in the Natural History Museum in New York. He complained but Peary refused to do anything about it. However, he did give him enough money to return home. The bones were not returned till 1993."

So for all the examples of Inuit populations that did know there were others, here's one that apparently didn't.

The only actual improvement they've made to the inventory system is that in FO4 you can now take items from containers without opening a separate dialog, which is a _very_ welcome improvement IMO.
I decided to ignore that angle in order to not start a gender shitstorm this time and detract from a lot of interesting points made in that talk, but I believe the author basically answers herself but doesn't even notice it:

"Many of the most successful security experts never went to college, or even finished high school. A statistically disproportionate number of you are on the autism spectrum."

She says there are more people on the autism spectrum in the hacker crowd than expected. Also (I believe is implied) college dropouts, apparently. And it's ok. So if there are more males in the field, why is it not ok? Shouldn't we be fighting against the autism-bias and dropout-bias? Surely neurotypical people and college graduates are underrepresented in tech, by the very definition of "being statistically underrepresented".
Hulu and Netflix are all you need, entertainment-wise. Haven't watched traditional TV in ages and it has for sure had a positive psychological impact on me. Not related to the article (like I'd know, I commented first before reading), but I did want to take this opportunity to preach.
"the chances of two individuals getting the same chance mutation, at exactly the same time, is even less credible. And so, according to the theory of the language instinct, the world’s first language-equipped human presumably had no one to talk to."

This is why I believe that if there are any genetic encodings for language (whether either specific to language alone or non-specific but used also by language, if you get my drift) they must have occurred with twins who were then able to communicate more effectively with each other relative to their peers and so they survived and so did their offspring and their genes spread throughout the gene pool. I know it's a wacky idea but it gets around the rebuttal of "presumably had no one to talk to."

And sure, it's an unlikely event but we're talking hundreds of thousands of years here, thousands of generations, billions of people.
