This is a very long story, but I do genuinely want that. That's not to say that there aren't any modern improvements I wouldn't want to carry forward (coil-sprung solid axles are better, good AC is a must have, leather interiors are great)

What I'd like from the 40-series:

- A no-nonsense materials and rawer, more authetntic appearance.
- Less injection molding, obvious ways to remove major panels
- An upright sitting position with small pillars and great visibility
- Authentic small details, like kick-vents, metal bumpers, metal handles
- AK47-like reliability

The old pull knobs were great for tactile feedback when selecting various options and looked fantastic. I can imagine a modern take on that that incorporates the old, tactile UX with a USB-port/Phone app combination that gives you more information and control, allows you to play music (why have a stereo?) utilize a HUD for maps, etc. The phone would provide the additional brains and the vehicle would function fine without it.

There are additional details to get right, such as allowing natural materials to transition between one another (glass, rubber, metal) rather than having class slam into injection-molded plastic in a hidden, impossible to get to fold, and so on.

As I said, this is a very long story. :)
What, then, are your parameters for formal? It has to be in a book, codified and signed off on? If so, aren't these kind of antithetical to AAVE on the face of it?

> who must have mildly infuriated the utilitarian and reductive sensibilities of Wells.

I get the feeling you came away siding with Joyce. I came away with hugely increased respect for Wells (who I didn't know a huge amount about going into this). Maybe I'm reading too much into your comment but 'utilitarian and reductive' seemed faintly damning whereas I was surprised how deeply he was considering the role of his work in relation to society and how nuanced his challenge to Joyce was. Especially for a 'mere' science fiction writer...
Your comment is basically "Houston would be great if it did a whole lot of things that there is t a snowballs chance in hell happening." If you can talk about "killing car culture" in Houston with a straight face it's hard to take the rest of the comment seriously.

I think they send you a box. You have to divide by 10 or 100 or whatever to get the real price per a unit. 5 bucks for a damage indicator for a very expensive item isn't too unreasonable.

Weird footprints are really the only time consuming part with modern EDA software. Tools like Altium have templates, footprint generators, and features for bulk editing symbols and footprints so all you do is create a quick Excel spreadsheet with pin number and formulas for x and y (especially easy for FPGAs and processors with pins in a grid). You copy paste that spreadsheet into Altium and you're done. It takes me less than 10 minutes to manually draw a footprint for a 500+ pin processor this way.
All of these things are problems? That sounds ideal! Particularly mixed-income neighborhoods.
When the result is good it's always the managers or the owners that receive the credit, and now it's the workers that get the blame.
> It has to be in a book, codified and signed off on?

The point is for rules to be formal then the must be formalized somehow and codified. This could be online or in a book, but the point is that there must be some clear delineation between when the rules are followed and when they are broken. Otherwise what's the meaning of "formal" rules?

> If so, aren't these kind of antithetical to AAVE on the face of it?

Yes. My argument is that AAVE, almost by definition, is an informal dialect without formalized rules.

This is getting rather off topic, but I think it relates to the original point of why NLP might start with Standard English even if you are not biased. A large corpus of Standard English text (such as from the WSJ) will generally be very internally consistent precisely because it follows a set of formal rules codified into a style guide. As there is no such equivalent for AAVE, even gathering a large and internally consistent corpus of AAVE text seems prohibitively difficult. That being said, I do hope researchers are working on gathering text from Twitter to build up new training sets.
that's a good point too, I have a couple lists I look at for close friends and such and only go onto the timeline every now and then

Why it would suddenly leak such information? User+host is put in the comment

I agree. If you go a few hundred beyond downtown/Museum District/Heights/Montrose area, it's impossible to live without a car (even in those areas it's not that easy).

I know it's not fair because it's technically not Houston, but the city will always be synonymous with sprawling, McMansion-filled suburbs with a Walmart (and a Target in front of it), and a mall every few miles.

GPUs and i7 CPUs have radically different design philosophies. The i7 has great performance per core and giant caches, while the GPU has lots of (relatively) slow cores with tiny caches, and effectively only SIMD-instructions.

For simple, highly parallelized floating-point number crunching nearly any GPU will blow your i7 out of the water, no matter how you program your i7. Only a tiny fraction of the surface area of the i7 has stuff useful for that task, but GPUs are designed for that works. Conversely, any GPU will be absolutely terrible at running Microsoft Word.

Do you think written Standard English is less ambiguous than any other English, or written language?

Absolutely. It follows a strict set of formal rules and you can readily find sources to learn those rules. Heck, copyeditors regularly debate the specific nuances of how to consistently write Standard English.

Other dialects (and spoken language) are far less formalized. Where is the AP Stylebook or Strunk & White for AAVE?
Exactly. No one said that those Hollywood actors and writers couldn't support Communism. People simply take action (i.e. firing them) based on their opinions about the issues.
I think you could turn that into a billion dollar business. Start a consultative CAM company which used a commercial CAM software. Work closely with businesses to perform their CAM work for them. You'd need quick turn around and likely to do a lot of traveling. You'd need to hire some top notch NC programmers. Simultaneously hire some top notch software developers with either CAM or 3D graphics backgrounds. Initially have the NC programmers do all the work manually, then have the developers automate away processes so that the CAM work gradually becomes easier. The final goal would be to have software which is capable of taking data from a library of machine/control definitions you've built up doing work and using it to go straight from a CAD file to NC code; skipping the entire CAM process. In the end I think you'd have a cloud service which users uploaded CAD files to and downloaded NC files from. You could integrate this a step further by monitoring machine performance and integrating it with file generation. At that point you're in the "How could we apply machine learning to this?" territory. The neat thing is that you'd basically have the same upload/download workflow whether it was people or software doing the actual NC code generation, and that 3rd party NC code generation is a service which companies already pay for from small contractors. The biggest challenge would be liability in running the NC code. You'd need to work out all the contracts and having knowledgeable NC programmers would be key. Open source CAM software could be a side effect of this, something developed along the way to cut on scaling costs; if that makes sense. Though, just eliminating the manual CAM process would be the final goal, so I probably wouldn't invest too heavily into that. There's a million things which could be branched out into once integrated this heavily in the manufacturing process. You'd probably need about the standard YC handout to make the initial website and prove you could get orders to do the CAM work (this could potentially pivot into cloud based manufacturing management or services trade). You'd then need a couple million to actually hire NC programmers and computer programmers and deal with business costs. If you really wanted to do it right, add a couple million on to that for in house machines. At that point you're going to make back the investment money as the Uber of CAM services, and then, if you can pull off the engineering, you automate away the CAM process all together and completely change how subtractive manufacturing is done world wide.

Listening to FW is a superb idea, especially because the text takes onomatopoeia to its limits and contains a plethora of multilingual puns. It's meant to be read aloud.

Also from Houston.

Even if you get to the point where the heat doesn't bother you, it doesn't stop the heat from making you sweat and smell. I didn't mind going for a walk (or run) on Houston summer afternoons, but there's no way I could walk >.5 miles or bike to work without a shower at the destination.

So every form of English is an "informal dialect" then? Because this ain't French with the Académie publishing strict rules for use of the language. Do you also say that the languages of remote Amazon tribes aren't "real languages" because they don't have a formal government body publishing written rules?

Or do you just want to bash on AAVE and are grasping at straws for reasons why?
I'm living the Microservices nightmare every day at work! Every single function is a service and you have to run 40 docker containers to get something show up in your browser!

If there is an issue in one those services it takes a long time to figure out which service was it and why it wasn't throwing a 500 error. Even if they throw 500 status codes you still don't get the nice line number and stack trace in a large application gives you.

I think the whole microservices thing is a mistake, I as a developer should not care how this application is running in production. I want to work on a large app and leave the deployment business to someone else. I get it that it's hard to scale a big application but it shouldn't be my concern.

I miss the old .NET days where I could run the app on my machine...
Which is true of every major city. NY and SF would be great if they would address the cost of housing; no chance in hell of that happening, as far as I can see. Atlanta, Los Angeles, and Dallas also have the car culture problem on a massive scale but don't have the benefits Houston has (that whole lack of zoning thing leading to some potentially great neighborhoods).

At some point, we're all going to have to agree that cars are trying to kill us and take the necessary steps to resolve that problem. The cities that figure it out first will be the next great American cities, I would guess.
Can anyone recommend a good unabridged reading of the Wake?

- microservices often solve team issues better than technical issues

Cool question and some great answers.

I would try the following:

- 8-9 hours of sleep per day;

- 1 hour of some physical activity everyday;

- 7/8 meals through out the day (3-to-3 hours interval);

- 8 pomodoro sprints per day.Each pomodoro sprint as a 45 minutes focus session. While studying focus on the process not the result. This reduces anxiety;

- at the end of every day: make a brief self-assessment session, writing a paragraph about what you have accomplished. Now the focus is on the result.

- use Rescue Time to track what you do, be aware of the distractions and try to limit them;

- do not work on Sundays. Work on Saturdays as a regular day.
OT, I know, but I find it amazing how slippery language and meaning can sometimes be. (I was once a professional word nerd.)

In particular, your read is in a completely different direction than mine which is:

1. Premise (GGGP): TV boxes printed (by printers) depicting bicycles on the outside.

2. Joke (GGP): TV manufacturers are threatened by printing companies demanding protection money, which if not paid will result in printers depicting bicycles on the outside of boxes containing manufacturers' TVs.

Your read is much more sophisticated than mine and, in my opinion, is a fairly novel and creative joke, at least neutral if not intriguing.

While the joke I see is predictable to the point of tedium, I'm not sure it's so bad or offensive it's worth hitting GGP's karma.

That's highly questionable advice. The passphrase is like two factor auth, it protects you if your private key ends up in someone else's hands. That's a risk you have to weigh up.

OKC for child care. Families are different. Right now there is no way, outside of super-expensive agencies, to find a good nanny/family match.

Currently, THE website to find childcare is care.com . But when hiring families sign on, usually they auto-generate a profile using check boxes such as "We like arts and crafts!" or "Playing outdoors". So there is absolutely nothing to distinguish one family from another. (Hint: All parents say their kids like crafts and playing outdoors)

On the childcare provider side, since there is no good way to find the best match, the safe route is to also be generic. Maybe I could teach your kids to code and spin wool (true), but unless I'm willing to wait a long time for the right family to find me then I have to downplay (or just hide) many of the interesting things about me that very specific families would love.

Some families don't allow their kids to watch hardly any TV. Some allow them to play hours of video games. Some families want you to refer to dinosaurs as "dragons" because they are Young Earth Creationists. Some families want you to sing Mormon songs. Some families are fine with an LGBTQ+ nanny. Some would fire you if they knew.

I have worked for all of those families.

If that information could be gathered, and you could get a list of the best matches for your family (or vice versa), then the huge Russian Roulette risk of getting a new nanny/babysitter or finding a new job could be ameliorated.
I agree that AI != ML/DL, that's not what I'm saying. Tests like the Turing test don't prescribe anything about implementation. I mean, if you could roll together some Excel macros that passed the test then great. My point is that if you do pull the curtain back on most "AI" systems today, at worst you'll find some sort of basic adaptive learning system and at best you'll find a [deep] neural net that supports both supervised and/or unsupervised learning.

I think the general spirit of the root of this comment thread is valid though. There's a lot of "we're using AI and machine learning!" going on when in fact all they're doing is remembering how frequently you pushed the blue button, then recommending the blue button.

It is certainly correct that in any other industry you would focus on the 90% of sales not the 10% however when it comes to Adwords many marketer seems to completely overlook this in my experience.

I would disagree with your second point though. If you take a look at the search query data you will see that over 80% of the searches come from where users have typed less than 2 words in length. Only a small number of impressions are coming from searches that are 5 words or more in length so even if you had 1 million 5+ word keywords you would never be able to get the same number of impressions as you would with 2 word keywords if that makes sense.

By all means it is possible to manage accounts with huge numbers of keywords and we regally do at Clicteq through using things tools such as Adwords Editor and Adwords Scripts, however I would argue that for doing this with 5+ words keywords is probably not an effective use of your time

put it this way - if you asked users up-front "when your trial expires, should we convert you to a paying customer and automatically start billing you?", what fraction of them would say "yes"? i'd guess it's pretty low, and most companies know it. the fact that they're deliberately taking advantage of people's tendency to forget to cancel counts as cheating in my book.
That's the most hyperbole I've ever seen in a single article. I had to stop reading when I got to "The final voice mail that anybody actually heard was recorded sometime around 2009". I get that it was meant as a joke, like much of the exaggeration in the piece, but it's just too much.
The wage for a UPS driver is somewhere around $11 an hour, with seasonal temporary help making less. Most of them are part time drivers, so they have to work a second job to make ends meet. Surprisingly, if you pay people crap and force them to look for new employment while working for you due to low wages, no hours, and poor advancement opportunities, you tend to get bad service. And if you rely on seasonal temps you WILL get bad service, as they have little loyalty to you beyond the month or two you pay them.

But no, first answer is always "remove people" I guess. Like you even can, no robot is going to be able to do a UPS job any time soon.
