Thank you, that's the first responsive answer I've gotten when I've asked the question of how a subsidy can be relevant to a well paying field; usually, I get a bunch of further confusions in the response and an insistence that I must lack critical domain knowledge (that they can't can't explain either).

With that said, why do you say doctor wages are fixed (and forseeably so)? Is there a variance in pay and legit competition for doctors and so on?

Also, I don't see why the long loan repayment period or anything else suggests doctor wages are hitting the "too low to get people into the field" level. Remember, there are still far more qualified people than med schools are willing to accept, which means there's still excess supply (in the sense that there isn't in SV tech labor).

Plus, being an MD has a level of prestige that doesn't show up in the wage, and which has numerous fringe benefits (like easier loan terms, since they know you'll probably always find employment).

> This is going through tribal lands because the tribes are poor and legally limited

The pipeline runs close to, not "through tribal lands" [1]. The environmental concern is fair. If my neighbor builds a 300 dB speaker on their property, I have a reasonable claim to damages.

The "sacred lands" and threat to "way of life" claims, however, seem disingenuous. It amounts to laying claims based on hypotheticals on someone else's property.

The way to get these out-of-the-norm gigs is to get good—so good they can't ignore you (to quote Cal Newport) or in this case that they'll say no because they need your skills.

If you get good and are known to be good, you can ask for any kind of work arrangement.
I'm not thinking "parallel worlds" in the Sliders sense, just in the "dark matter" sense. If there were "enough" to blur it out, each one would likely not have enough mass to really have a complete universe.

On the other hand, if we only make up 15% of the known mass of the universe, that's room enough for 5 more parallel shadow universes living beside us!

Or maybe dark matter just doesn't need as much mass for intelligent life to develop. Who says they need stars and planets?
Again, it's a review of a book written by an Indian author. Perhaps the book has further evidence that these charges aren't just political posturing.
A friend calls it "the most popular book that nobody has read," but maybe that was more accurate in the 90s.
Yes, I call this "terminal brain". Issues that I want to fix, or things that I've been working on whirl in my head in an abstract 2d visual state - flashes of the colors I'm using in iTerm, and random words repeating over and over... vague imagery of tailing a log file... it feels like my mind is creating scenarios and trying to solve many things at the same time.

I think it's both a blessing and a curse. On one hand, some days I wake up and immediately know how to solve problems, or I'll think of new things to try. I've also had many nights where I come to understand concepts from 'exploring' the whirlpool of vagueness. Solidifying the abstraction helps a lot, I guess.

On the other hand, this phenomenon can be very distracting or distressing at times. I have a terrible memory of trying to have sex and all I could think about was Redis.
> You're forgetting Stalin colluded with Hitler to split up Eastern Europe. That included murdering thousands of Polish officers who were a threat to Soviet rule. The only reason why Russia was fighting the Hitler was because he was double crossed.

Yes, but Khrushchev was in power for the majority of time right after the war and was like a total 180 from Stalin, who seemed to honestly want to improve relations.

But I suppose this is all hindsight.
No, an 8h workday excludes lunch, so typical hours in Sweden are 7-16 or 8-17. If I take a 2h lunch I might work 8-18. There is no such thing as 8-5 that makes no sense in Sweden :)

Interestingly, while lunch isn't counted towards the 8h, the workday normally does allow for coffee breaks ("fika") on paid time totaling 15-60minutes depending on what business.

Matthews 6:3-4
"But when you give to the needy, do not let your left hand know what your right hand is doing, 4 so that your giving may be in secret. Then your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you."

Yeah - perhaps they don't need to clump together as much to develop intelligent life. We need stars and planets; they could work on much smaller scales.

If I were writing a science fiction novel, I'd love to talk to enough scientists to posit a plausible mechanism.
Not uncommonly. The first instance I can remember was during an automata & formal languages class: I dreamt of cars pulling out of parking spaces and going back in, and on waking realized that it had to do with the pumping lemma for regular languages. Last night there was a coding dream, but I don't remember the details.
I'm going to guess that you don't spend many hours 9-5 Monday through Friday at a beach or on a golf course.

> There is a reason why Netflix only gets a small portion of quality movies -- because companies can make more signing deals with companies other than Netflix.

Yet they can afford to pay Dave Chappelle $60 million for 3 episodes. I love Netflix, but it's clear they are focused on their own original content, and they do a great job at it. Every Netflix show I've watched is great. They don't have the latest and greatest movies because they choose not to buy them.
> There is no evidence that dark matter even exists other than the fact that our universe is not expanding at the rate we think it should ...

You're thinking of dark energy, the net effect of which is to change the overall expansion profile of the universe as a whole. Dark Matter was first proposed when galactic rotation profiles failed to meet theoretical expectations -- matter far from the center of each galaxy had a higher velocity than it would if visible matter had been the only factor.

> I think it's far more likely that our theory is incomplete rather than some whole new class of invisible matter/energy being conjured into existence

Occam's razor (the simplest explanation tends to be the right one) suggests that a new unobserved particle is more likely than abandonment of F = GMmr^-2 . This doesn't mean the equation must be correct, it's a question of reaching for the low-hanging fruit.

> So many non-scientists think dark matter is proven. It isn't. It's nothing but pure conjecture.

First, nothing is ever proven true in science, only false. Second, dark matter is more than pure conjecture, since there is observational evidence. A pure conjecture would be an idea about reality having no observational support at all (unicorns, Bigfoot). Dark matter is a hypothesis crafted to explain observations, but so far there's no persuasive theory to explain it, and no observations of candidate particles either.

Obligatory HN "naming clash!" nitpick: there's an existing Flux library called Delorean (https://github.com/f/delorean ), although it's been overtaken by Redux.

Still, looks reasonably interesting. (As a Redux maintainer, I'm also required to point out that Redux was built around the concept of "time-travel debugging" in the first place.)
The grandparent post contains a hint of something I've already heard in lectures and from ML practicioners: boosting and random forests are more resilient to improper tuning (to put it another way, they are more universal and work well "out of the box").

Which, BTW, makes them more appealing to me personally. In many real-life cases extra few percent of accuracy matters very little, but ability to just apply something to a problem without much fuss matters a lot.
Welcome to the Bay Area where tiny 50+ year old homes in decent (read: not crime ridden) neighborhoods with only so-so schools go for $1.2+. And those are often ones needing a lot of work.

The trade off is a very healthy job market, phenomenal weather, a great liberal culture and great food.
Yes, caller ID on a landline has been available for at least 20+ years, at least that's about when my parents first got it from what I remember. At first it was a couple dollars extra a month but it's standard now.

Also every office phone I've ever had has caller ID.
I never had a diagnosis and it eventually mostly went away with time and rest - I still tire easily, but can work a 37.5 hour week.
An article in El Reg about this was previously discussed on HN [0], but this one has some more informative links and details. It's an interesting example of how even extremely simple, mostly legacy parts of core silicon (the Low Pin Count bus in this case) that shouldn't actually be strictly critical can sometimes in usage yield surprisingly serious failure modes. The impact this time may also be less generally obvious to the public vs issues like the 2011 series 6 chipset degradation, but result in more irritation for the HN crowd. Since the primary target usage is more infrastructure applications like routers/microservers/NAS just physically getting at everything could be aggravating depending on deployment.

It's hard to fit into a schedule with picking up kids from School though. In parts of Germany and Switzerland where that is still the norm I think it's at least partially a leftover from a time when women did that - so not very modern.

It's worth noting that ML doesn't just mean neural networks - those just get the most hype. I'm also curious if you could give an example of traditional models (presumably logreg, SVM, decision forest/trees) outperforming DNN on classification tasks. I read your thread and agree with the points, but I'm curious to see if anyone's outlined examples of when DNN fail in particular (not necessarily RNN/CNN).

Aside - I think it's really ironic for people with no technical know how to go on a talk show and say "learn ML or you're toast". First, the inertia of the world economy is much greater than 3 years. Second, it's unrealistic to ask every 7-11 cashier to go learn ML. Third, programming is a complex art and we're surely not 3 years away from the singularity. Most people I know who have some ML knowledge also realize how far we are from a computer program that can read code, read specs, and then decide how to implement or fix existing code. And last, even if all of the above were moot, I think it's more likely that we write a program that successfully helms a Fortune 500 company before we write one that produces or improves on software. The former could be more easily reduced to a game of chess while the latter requires some massive novel research into "creativity". Maybe it's Mark Cuban who should be learning ML!

No, they don't.

They don't think it's the best way because it hits a fundamental API impedence mismatch with the browser (it's too low level, and probably not the right fit for JavaScript as an API - Vulkan being a standard does not mean we should senselessly emulate it), it's not at all clear the security model matches what the browser actually wants (part of being too low level, but also not being designed with the web's security model in mind), and it requires a lot on the half of users in forms of software support to support 'true' Vulkan as it stands, and it will be difficult to emulate such a low level API and its quirks (it's possibly the lowest level of the 3), which is why WebGPU aims to be a bit higher level. Even on systems like NVidia/Windows with top OpenGL support for years, the variance among OSs, hardware, and cards means e.g. Browsers and developers all implement WebGL in terms of DirectX, not OpenGL, even on suitable platforms. This is simply because the "native" graphics API -- for any platform -- tends to be the one with the most first party support, care, and stability across everything. It doesn't actually matter if you have OpenGL support on Windows, WebGL will still work because of this decision. That means more people can use it. Re-creating this same mistake with Vulkan will likely be costlier, due to it being so much less generic and much more low-level. If we're going to make "WebGL 2.0" happen, whether or not it's actually WebGPU -- it should avoid mistakes like this one.

(It turns out when your software is used by literally billions of people on extremely diverse hardware, sometimes fantasies about driver support from nerds with $2,000 premium machines aren't always true.)

Now that I've said all that: you are now free to continue ignoring literally everything written in the original blog post and ignore everything written by the developers here about its design, and assume whatever you want. That's apparently what people like doing, it seems.

in the functional programming community I find an obsession with these two things

1. what counts as functional programming (and more specifically "why lang X is not really functional")

2. inventing new jargon, particularly in cases where existing terminology is mostly adequate, but some hair-splitting detail is not properly covered by a word already in use. this tendency might be a natural consequence of spending all day on macro expansions.
