I Regret:

1. Accepting what was in front of me at the time, at the cost of my own deeper/real identity, and not just waiting it out. I should have believed more strongly in my core values, including that belief that life is infinite and this birth/lifetime is one amongst many and even if I don't find anyone to share it with in a committed relationship, even then it is worth living and can be shared with other humans in other ways.

2. Associating certain laudable qualities with a minority religious-ethnic group and then assuming all members of that group would have those qualities, totally ignoring the fact that humans are complicated and diverse and different shades of psychopath (even when its is no fault of theirs!).

3. Assuming that my good behavior towards someone's family would be reciprocated towards my family. I arrived at the following equation:

If you don't like A's (say, a man) behavior towards B (a woman), then if you are (say) a man, do NOT behave towards any woman, as B (a woman) behaved with A (a man). Otherwise, you are setting yourself up to be treated by the woman as A (a man) treated B (a woman)! Why would you do this in the first place, you ask? Perhaps, out of a sense of righting a social injustice, perhaps thinking that feminism means that you (a man) has to make-up and pay for your gender's injustice to the other gender by letting the historically exploited gender get away with unfair and atrocious behavior (or specifically, behavior far less equal to yours).

4. Ignoring the big blazing (in retrospect), warning signs in people's behavior and actions that I would (could/should) have heeded if were not thinking with tunnel-vision.

Plenty of things I can go on and on about ....

BUT

Ask me what I don't regret? That's a list for another day (when I feel gratitude!).
Apple's ipad pro/pencil is better than the previous industry best (Wacom) by a wide margin. It's more sensitive, better ergonomics (narrow diameter, not plastic), much lower initial activation pressure. Paired with a much better display in a more portable package at similar price to a Cintiq companion. Professional artists are flocking to it in droves.

Platform for something isn't bad idea. Base guaranteed income within that system is. As with programmers, writers that are good find work and are appreciated. Not all, but most. It's not a world where there are a huge number of great writers who aren't getting paid well, or that there are a huge number of great writers who can't get a foot in the door where they could make money. It's not like that at all. Especially today.

New Tires is a very strange (and illogical) reason to purchase a new vehicle. How is that any more frustrating than filling your gas tank when it's empty? All vehicles (used, new, gas, electric) need new tires after x amount of miles. This is a regular and expected maintenance item that all vehicle owners must deal with. It would be a different story if a critical component like your transmission unexpectedly went out well before it's life expectancy.

Honestly, if you consider $1,000 on new tires to be a frustrating expense, then you really can't afford to purchase new cars in the first place. A new vehicle is a multiple of the cost of new tires and even more so when the balance of your last vehicle is rolled into the new financing and spread out over payments with interest. I worked at a car dealership while in college. There's a reason the "finance guy" drove a 10+ year old Honda that he paid cash for.

One company I worked for offered to buy me any laptop I wanted. When I asked for a MacBook Pro, they talked me out of it and I got a Lenovo running Linux instead. The machine had great specs on paper, and it ran software just fine, but it was the worst laptop experience I've ever had. The trackpad was completely unusable, the keyboard & screen were crappy. It was fine as a desktop computer, when you plug in an external mouse & keyboard & monitor. It was truly awful as a laptop.

There is no reason to believe this time is different.

There is one major reason this time is different: it requires a highly educated workforce. In practice, since there are so many unemployed and so many underpaid, it means that most of those people are incapable of transition, for one reason or another.

And it's a double whammy: even if every unemployed worker went for re-qualification / re-education, and they all became knowledge workers, the market would be saturated and everybody would end up being underpaid again (underpaid meaning "not enough to live off of comfortably / normally"). In that theoretical scenario, engineers and scientists would be dime a dozen, so even that's a dead end.

Some new solution is needed. Theoretically speaking, if everything were 100% automated and dynamically produced, money would be obsolete because we could have anything built: material extraction would be automatic, processing would be automatic, resource renewal and recycling automatic, the solar energy to produce it free. But what do we do in the meanwhile?

I agree that multirow is a must. You can add it to my former list.

Otherwise you can easily avoid most of the other packages (if not all) in the 99% of the cases with some common sense, good style practices, and basic latex.

If you think that you need monospace numbers, X type columns, special decimal alignments and hyper-complex big tables with a lot of footnotes placed inside the floating environment, you are probably overthinking. Tex will allow you to have it in any case, even if is not really necessary, but it comes at a prize.
This is a classic market sizing question that you would get asked in any consulting interview.

I didn't understand why you split the market into 'above-average' and 'below-average' prices though? I highly doubt the distribution is symmetric -- most of the probability mass is probably in cheaper cars, and there are smaller numbers of very expensive luxury vehicles pulling up the average price [1]. In that case, a much smaller number of households buy the 'above-mean-price' vehicles. Also, wealthy households tend to replace their cars more frequently; luxury car dealerships do much of their business in rolling people over every 3 years into a new vehicle lease.

In any case, 116mm / 17.5mm cars per annum households is 6.6 years per car per household, which seems totally reasonable to me since many households own multiple vehicles, and many vehicles are owned outside of households.

(preamble: I'm not a lawyer and this is not legal advice.)

Here (in the UK) it's often in boilerplate employment contracts that any projects worked at any time during employment[0] belong to the company.

I tend to go through and cross it out when I find it but I'm also fairly sure it's one of those "it's in there but it's not legally enforceable" things that are often found in employment contracts so I don't know how well tested it is in the courts and also I don't think a company would damage their reputation enforcing it unless someone was working on a project directly relating to or competing with a product the company made.

It's understandable that an employer wouldn't want someone developing an open source competitor to their own products. The 'social contract' is that the employer should invest in their human capital so that in return the employee gains valuable experience and learning by providing training courses, conferences and the like. How much that happens of course varies greatly in the wild.

>I think this [AI beating humans at facial recognition] is scarier than most people give it credit for. It’s no big deal when computers beat humans at chess – human brains haven’t been evolving specific chess modules. But face recognition is an adaptive skill localized in a specific brain area that underwent a lot of evolutionary work, and modern AI still beats it

This could give us a new lower bound on the computation required for human-level AI. "Facial recognition," IIRC, is a well-localized cognitive function occupying some reasonably consistent fraction of a human's grey matter. The processing power required to recognize a stream of faces via ML techniques can be quantitized. Simply multiply the former ratio by the latter quantity and you have the processing power required to functionally emulate a human brain, no?

Regarding his larger points: I don't have time to track down the reference, but there's fairly consistent stories coming out about how, for any sort of classification deep net, small adversarial changes to the input can cause arbitrary mis-classifications to arbitrary confidence. So even if you give your godlike AI a paperclip-recognizing deep net, the grounding problem could still bite you; your AI may learn to take over all economic production, or it may learn that if it pokes its camera just like this it suddenly looks like the universe is made of paperclips.

Which matches the human case- since, certainly, we dissipate plenty of energy towards ends orthogonal to what we're supposedly optimizing. Even to the point of, ahem, directly subverting some of classifiers that are key to our reproductive cycle.

There are a lot of factors at work here.

How much do you drive?

What kind of vehicle do you want?

Etc...

Here's one case: I just bought a new Tundra a couple months ago (cash because I don't like debt). I could have saved $5K (15%) and gotten one 3 years old with 40K miles on it.

That's the problem with some models. The resale value is SO good that the value proposition for buying used is almost nil.

Since my trade-in Tundra was 10 years old with 178K miles, let's assume that's the life of the new vehicle too. I don't think saving 15% to buy a vehicle that's 20% through its life span is a good deal.

I think if people are ignoring you, it's a signal that you're not making something people care about.

In contrast, negative criticism is a signal that you're working on something people care about, you've just not figured out either the product or the marketing message correctly.

Universally positive feedback is probably a sign that nobody is paying attention, but they like you for some reason--either you're a celebrity or you're new and people think you're brave just for trying.

Negative criticism is probably the only useful criticism you're likely to get. Few people will bother with posting a positive, even-minded critique of a project. So hang on to those "haters." They're the ones you need to care about the most.

>CL has such terrible customer service

I can vouch for this. We have a choice between CL and Comcast here for residential service and I've used both. CL has a pretty solid DSL service but $deity help you if you ever need to call in for some problem you're having with it. Expect to spend multiple-hours on the phone while you're put on hold for extended periods, have your call dropped, get routed to numbers that don't answer, and, if you're lucky, speak to a person who has no idea what you're talking about but might know someone who can help, "let me transfer you"... Rinse and repeat. The only good that I can say about CL is that their come-out-to-your-house techs seem to know more or less what they're doing and have solved DSL and analog line problems for me quickly and without additional pain.

Eventually it should be, but trying to design a way to integrate multiple runtimes into a single webpage is going to take some work (e.g. imagine a page that imports code originally written in Python and Javascript and Ruby and Go, all with their own garbage collectors (and Go's custom concurrency model!)). The reason that C and C++ and Rust will work from the start is that they don't require invasive runtimes and so allow the browser vendors to punt on this problem until later.
Usually, it's a clause in the employment contract saying that the company claims ownership of anything you create while under their employment, under the theory that a salary covers more than just the time you're in the office. Maybe combine that with a company policy against releasing internally-produced source code, or something?

My employer has something similar to that contract clause, but I've never heard of them actually invoking it.
I'm a non-native/hobbyist Chinese learner, and I'm liking it so far. I wonder if this could end up suiting the purposes of people in my niche, even if it can't supersede other methods among native speakers? Personally, I strongly dislike pinyin because using roman letters engages the intrusive "thinking in English" part of my brain - something I (and I think, a lot of other learners) try and avoid when engaging a new language.

I've spent a decent amount of time trying wubi, and this seems to be easier. Wubi tries to limit itself to 26 keys, so you get a lot of non-intuitive grouping of seemingly unrelated strokes onto the same key (Or at least, going back to my first point, non-intuitive to non-native speakers. Can't speak to how the groupings are perceived by people who learn to read/write via the standard pedagogy.).

Small things that would make this better for me:

* The fact there's more radicals behind the shift key is really not obvious. You might want to add a note/tooltip pointing that out?

* A "reverse lookup" going from character to key compositions. Right now I'm struggling to figure out how to type 钱 because I can't figure out how to write the 金 radical.

* Is there just the one, canonical way of writing a character? Or can you "compose" them up from any "correct" series of strokes? If it's the latter, how hard would it be to make it the latter?
That's a gross mischaracterization of "climate change". The reason we say "climate change" is because there are many things happening and not all of them are just increased temperatures. So, global warming is a part of climate change. Go back in the 1970s and the term was "inadvertent climate modification".

Global warming is very real, and still happening, and the "climate change" models predict that we will continue get global warming as we have been. You ask for testable predictions, yes, there are testable predictions but climates are notoriously difficult to model accurately, but even with disagreements over models and problems with accuracy global warming still emerges as a clear prediction.

If you want to look for confirmation bias and "rejiggered data", then what you do is you cherry-pick specific time frames and regions where you can find cooling. That's always possible. Pick a hundred regions in the world and pick a hundred spans of time for each, and then take the few combinations that show cooling and you can paint a picture that hides the truth.

No, answering a why question about an organism's structure with "because [purpose]" really does get a evolutionary biologist's goat.

Why do tigers have sharp teeth? To rip flesh.

No.

Why do tigers have sharp teeth? Because their ancestors who had sharper teeth produced more offspring than their relatives who did not.

In Aristotle's language, ripping teeth may be a cause, but it's not the Final cause, and that's what we're talking about.

The reason biologists don't like the teleological explanation is that (a) it tends to make people think of a creator, as you say, but also (b) it describes traits as "solutions" to specific "problems" (e.g. the problem of ripping flesh), but the issue is that, starting from the pre-sharp-toothed ancestor, there were infinitely many possible directions evolution could have taken that would never have needed to solve this "problem." The existence of the problem (cutting meat) and the random path that led to the tigers being carnivorous are actually one-and-the-same. If you didn't have sharp teeth, you wouldn't have needed them.

Even if it was just C/C++, that would get you all the interpreted languages where the runtime is C/C++, which is a fair chunk. In any case, if it's a good compilation target for C and C++, it will be a suitable, if not always ideal, target for compilers for many other languages.
Replacing is just a facet of fixing, though. If the motor breaks, my understanding is you have to get a new one.

Apple's theory on removing MagSafe is that their laptops now provide enough working time, and charge fast enough, that it is rare that people will need to work while plugged in. This is clearly influenced by their experience with iPhone and iPad. It's also why they felt fine with silly-looking charge orientations for their mouse and pencil.

Is it wrong? We'll see. I think a lot of people work with their laptops plugged in as a matter of habit rather than necessity. That doesn't make it wrong, though.
