Improperly managing side effects (i.e. letting people know ahead of time about possibilities, using compensatory medications or switching altogether) is a big problem with many people who prescribe psychotropics. In competent hands, most people can generally find a medication or combination that works for them with tolerable side effects.
The thing is, rolling your own crypto can seem reasonable, and you won't know how it's broken, until someone breaks it.

You don't become a "crypto expert" by experimenting with crypto; it's not an API or a library. You learn crypto by studying it. People have already made mistakes in the past, so why not learn from them instead of repeating them? Especially in the high-stakes situation that is causing you to use crypto?
Interesting, thanks for the insight there.

I was on Nardil (phenelzine) for about 6 months. That's some weird stuff right there. I gained a whole bunch of weight, lost the ability to dream while sleeping, and couldn't eat any foods with tyramine in them (like Iberian ham or fava beans), but man, chocolate cake never tasted so heavenly as when on Nardil.

Prior to Nardil, I had been taking Prozac (fluoxetine) but a combination of sexual side effects, an impatient disposition, and scientific curiosity prompted me to ask my psychiatrist about Nardil. He said, "Why not?" This psychiatrist would prescribe just about anything (not that I see anything wrong with that) so over the course of grad school I tried Prozac, Nardil, Modafinil, and Adderall. Oddly enough, it turned out that an extremely low dosage of Adderall fixed most of my issues. My psychiatrist started with me 30 mg twice a day but I found that 10 mg worked better (less euphoria, more focus), so nowadays I only take 10 mg Adderall about twice a week and don't seem to have any depression or focus issues anymore.

I generally prefer my windows machines, but you absolutely cannot get an equivalent quality screen. I've looked very hard for such a thing. Sure you can get a high DPI monitor, but it won't have a proper finish and will appear textured.

Even after all this if you happen to get a perfect monitor, Windows software performs very poorly in a high DPI environment. Even the OS itself was very poor in this regard until a year ago.
>This could hurt small startups that are very carefully managing an ad budget.

I'm all for helping fellow startuppers, but no part of me feels that startups that buy ads are an endangered species worth nurturing. The whole ad model leaves the world worse off, and it sucks that startups are left with no option but to participate in it.

Interesting that you mentioned Information Theory, when I think of this I think of Shannon, encoding symbols, bauds, bit, noise and channels in the Telecom network sense.

But I guess this all applies quite similarly in the neural network sense in DL/ML as well?

Trying to explain this has failed an innumerable number of times here. Whenever this discussion pops up, there are die-hards who are against all advertising versus those who present a rational argument explaining how the content they willingly consume is supported by those ads. Like wrestling in the mud with a pig, you will come out of this unfulfilled while the other side comes out feeling like the winner. They're just a highly vocal minority.

I'm not a personal fan of ads but when it comes to things I find important enough and have the option, I pay to remove them. The difference however is that the die-hards tend to not accept paying or viewing ads as acceptable. If they did, this wouldn't keep coming up.

Many statistics about Utah are skewed by either pro-Mormon or anti-Mormon bias. For several years, a "study" which used a single unidentified "top 10 paysite" as its source claimed that Utah was one of the largest consumers of paid online pornography in the country.

The study was debunked and mostly stopped being discussed after PornHub released by-state consumption statistics showing Utah ranking in the bottom 10. The author of the fraudulent study appeared to be unhappy about the Church's stance on Prop 8.

I would be hesitant to trust any statistics showing Utah as either unusually good or unusually bad.

I think that is how it works, but with longer periods of time. Instead of an 8 hour shift with overlap of 2, it's a 24 to 30 hour shift with overlap of 8 to 10.

On rounds, a doc might only see each patient every hour or two... even longer for specialists.

ER docs also work some shorter shifts. So in a week he might work one 24 or 30 hour shift, and one or two 8-hour shifts. The shorter shifts provide arms and legs for simple cases, and the longer shifts provide continuity for more serious cases. The docs take turns holding down the long shift.
I strongly disagree. This has been necessary for many previous approaches, but it's not fundamental to the topic.

Sometimes reading and understanding papers requires that background, I guess.

Nice. I find this issue is resolved. All of our accounts are magically working.
Suppose we have the government build the roads. Are they also going to manufacture their own steamrollers and mine their own gravel all the way down the stack? If so you're at Pure Communism. If not then you still have exactly the same problems to deal with when the government goes to buy those things from private industry.

The thing you're really criticizing is government corruption. A corrupt government will screw you no matter its ideology.

> Speaking of drunkenness, being caught drunk on the job is a firing offense for a doctor, and I believe you can also lose your medical license, right? Sleep deprivation has been shown to affect judgment, alertness, memory, and reaction time in a similar manner as alcohol. If it's fine for a doctor to be sleep deprived, why not let them be drunk while working too?

Unfortunately, it's not just a rhetorical argument, but it is a true problem with hospital doctors: alcoholism, drunk at work, and of course abuse of all drugs that are easily available for them. And everyone covers it up, as long as there is not a major accident.

There are of course the same reasons as in the general population, but there are extra ones: the pressure; the stupid work organisation with stupidly long shifts; the fact that most of the medicine studies are also insanely organised and insanely competitive (in my country, this is where you find the shittiest mood and mentality of all studies, except perhaps a few business studies), thus the habit is taken early to use alcohol and drugs to "perform" or to "put up with the workload", except that it is 'fine' when you are young, but when you get older and keep the same habit, you don't recover and the effects accumulate.
Very interesting. I've been thinking of a similar application platform from the perspective of design/preferences/configuration. We've seen only a very limited amount of "personalization" like "personalized search" (or cross-device attribution tracking, call it what you will). But I ask you to consider an omnipresent personal user interface. Now I'm thinking a generation after VR (to a stage where we can generate visual stimuli and recognize thought/movement that manipulates it). Wouldn't it be nice if this interface weren't a hodgepodge of Siri/Google Now/Alexa (all linked to their proprietary systems so you can access their walled garden). I imagine a space for middleware dedicated to serving me, not serving me ads.

I just did a search of this entire thread, and found only one citation to the NYT. It's this one:

That is a story from August of 1999. So it cannot possibly be evidence that "declassified intelligence" shows Iraq had WMDs.

I feel like I have truly entered bizarro-world here.

Yes, you can get by with an AMD GPU but it'll be a lot more work, and a lot more frustration.

It's worth spending the $0.90 per hour to use AWS, or less if you get spot instances.

Not my experience either. In fact one of the deciding factors in my buying Dell is their warranty support.

I don't know about where you live, but where I live it's nothing short of amazing. It usually really is Next Business Day, there are no arguments, the man comes out with parts does the deed on my desk, and if it doesn't fix the issue lodges a new support call for it.

When the warranty expired I purchased a spare part. Granted finding the part number was a painful experience. But the measly $100 or whatever it was for the entire plastic back of the screen including the HV electronics, and the 2 day delivery more than made up for it.

I often look at other laptops, but then I remember HP had to be prosecuted by our government here before they would honour warranty claims, and the utter lack of response from ASUS for out of warranty parts.

For me Dell hardware seems to be much of a muchness - the manufacturers all use the same parts after all. It's Dell's support that sets them apart for me - in an opposite way to what you say.

Here's another incident where DOD describes recovered WMDs:

Iraq was storing giant caches of sarin-tipped warheads. They also had mountains of yellow cake at Tuwaitha that was moved out of the country for neutralizing and processing.
When we say "rose under Foo" we typically mean from start to finish. I doubt that anyone who said it rose under Reagan said so because of uncertainty about what was asked.

As for the facts, this shows up with clear cut and simple examples. Does economic theory say that raising minimum wages increases unemployment? Was Obama born in the USA? Do Democrats by and large care more about black deaths than white ones? Were weapons of mass destruction found in Iraq?

Large fractions of people will answer these along partisan lines. The actual answers are yes, yes, yes, and no. (The most controversial being the third. See the description of the "kill whitey" experiments at https://www.wired.com/2010/09/kill-whitey-its-the-right-thin... for verification.)

People really filter information through their biases and come up with beliefs that are more based on ideology than reality.
They'll also need to make sure they stick to AV1 for a long-ass time. H264 is fully accelerated. VP8 was supposed to become a bigwig thing, some (alpha) hardware supported started to pop up and then Google nixed it and switched to VP9. Only now are VP9 accelerated CPUs popping up and now they're already planning to switch to AV1 soon.. no damn way the smaller CPU builders (everyone not Intel or AMD) will build in decoding support for another standard that'll be nixxed in a few years.
That's also why H265 will (sadly) be victorious, even despite heavy licensing. H264 has been in use for so long without big changes that CPU builders felt comfortable dedicating silicon to it. Unless AOmedia (= Google, Cisco etc.) give a guarantee they won't switch up to 'AV2' or whatever in a few years, it won't see large hardware support.

On a sidenote: screw Google for switching YouTube over to VP9 for some bandwidth savings, full well knowing 95%+ of people does not have VP9 acceleration and thus having YouTube absolutely slaughter their laptop battery. H264ify fixes this, but still. ALWAYS put the user first.

Edit: to be clear, I know all the big builders (Intel, Nvidia, AMD etc) are part of AOMedia. However, they also all promised VP8 support which never happened, and VP9 support which is more than a generation late.

Not true! I'm happy to pay higher taxes. They passed a yearly art fund tax here.

I'm happy to piss an the parade of anyone who complains about paying taxes. Especially those that benefit disproportionately, like tech workers (high tech being subsidized by the government since the industrial revolution came along).

I don't want someone else to pay for it but I want them to contribute.
Just be sure that you're comfortable with the trackpoint on the 450... They swapped the buttons for a touch sensitive area at the top of the trackpad. The physical buttons have made a welcome return on the T460 range, but if that doesn't bother you, enjoy a great machine.

It's interesting to see press leaks highlighted here as a pattern for insider threat. I don't doubt the author that this is so for the limited scope of organizations considered (SFBA tech companies), but I've worked on several insider cases, had insight into many more, and it's almost always an employee or ex-employee, with an axe to grind, taking trade secret information to a new job at a competitor. In many instances, the competitor has no idea and is pissed when they find out.

One piece of advice that I'd give out with such cases is to listen to your Spidey Sense. A lot of organizations will say, after the fact, "well... something didn't seem right with Bob...". If you sense something isn't right, prepare to secure evidence and analyze it. Don't put IT assets back into circulation if there's doubt, and don't sit on it.

More WMD discoveries covered in WIRED:

https://www.wired.com/2010/10/wikileaks-show-wmd-hunt-contin...

This press release from Stu Cohen, under "Myth #10," Stu points out what we're talking about in the original argument about WMDs.

https://www.cia.gov/news-information/press-releases-statemen...

"We judged that Iraq probably possessed one hundred to five hundred metric tons of CW munitions fill. One hundred metric tons would fit in a backyard swimming pool; five hundred could be hidden in a small warehouse.... When the Iraq Survey Group (ISG), led by David Kay, issued its interim report in October [2003], acknowledging that it had not found chemical or biological weapons, the inspectors had then visited only ten of the 130 major ammunition depots in Iraq; these ammunition dumps are huge, sometimes five miles by five miles on a side. Two depots alone are roughly the size of Manhattan. It is worth recalling that after Desert Storm, US forces unknowingly destroyed over 1,000 rounds of chemical-filled munitions at a facility called Al Kamissiyah."

This just illustrates that even if they hadn't found WMDs, it doesn't tell you they weren't there. Under myth #5 he describes the wide variety of sources that supported the conclusion that they were there. Under myth #9 he talks about the equivalent danger of rapid mobilization programs that are completely deniable and would not necessarily produce any recoverable material.

WMDs were found, but it would hardly matter if they weren't.
