I think its more that society impose pressure on women to care how they look and being healthy, while imposing similar requirement on men to care about their ability to raise money. Dating site statistics shows a very strong correlation for successful profiles that follows those gender roles, where a man who focus more on about taking care of their body than their carer has a negative correlation, and women who focus more on their carer than taking care of their body has a negative correlation.

Genetic differences between males and females may account for some of the imbalance in how often people get sick, but incentives may also account for some. The article don't really explore that.

> Given that I have images and their types, could I "train" the AI with these million documents to recognize a new image that might come in?

Do I understand this right:

1. You have lots of documents as images, and their type (brief, motion, court order)

2. You get a new document, as an image.

3. You want to assign a type to this new document.

Is that right?

What's your goal in terms of quality? A key way of thinking about this is:

1. What's the risk/cost if you mis-classify a document?

2. What's the risk/cost if you fail to classify a document?

Are the documents typically very structurally different? Could I probably tell them apart without wearing glasses? Or are they largely the same, but with nuanced differences in the text?

When I started out making software for freelance projects I would build everything "important" first (user auth, database requirements, basic UI), and then add the pretty UI at the end.

I noticed when showing off a project sans pretty UI I was met with some pretty disappointing responses. Once I switched to adding pretty UI at the beginning of a project the response was the opposite.

I guess there's something to be said about salesmanship somewhere in there. All I know is that if I kept focusing on what I thought was important first I probably wouldn't have been as successful as I was.

Hey everyone,

I have created this website after struggling with deploying my website for the first time (which one of the 1000+ hosting companies to chose? How to get a cheap domain? Analytics, monitoring, what other tools I need?) and I thought it might be useful for others. There are no advertisements and it was not sponsored by any company, I did a lot of reading, checked different services and picked up those that offer the best value for money and are recommended by other developers. I tried to add coupon codes where applicable.
I have submitted DeployStack few months ago and got some good feedback, so I added a bunch of new tools and redesigned it to be more clear. Let me know if you think it's interesting and useful.
To me the story as written pretty clearly implied that she had acquired time-related superpowers by learning this language. Even as a believer in block time this was deeply unsatisfactory. (I don't think this needs any complex explanation as Gwern looks for; I think the simpler explanation is that the story means what it seems to mean, and is simply a bad story).
Exactly! This isn't a game engine.
The whole chicken / beef thing has been misunderstood by the author - chicken was never the expensive alternative to beef. The author seems to have been masively misled by the (false) quote of Hoover "a chicken in every pot and two cars in every garage". Hoover never said this. My best reading of the history seems to be:

16th century: (Henry IV) "If God keeps me, I will make sure that no peasant in my realm will lack the means to have a chicken in the pot on Sunday!"

1928: (Hoover) "The slogan of progress is changing from the full dinner pail to the full garage."

1928: (Republican campaign flyer) Title "A Chicken for Every Pot", text includes "Republican properity has... put the proverbial 'chicken in every pot'. And a car in every backyard, to boot."

It's clear that in 1928 chicken wasn't an the indicator of wealth that the author things; it was (as the flyer says) proverbial.
Even if the psychedelic experience that everything is one (or more accurately, part of a connected whole) is true, that doens't imply that the universe can know its entire state simultaneously. That would imply that the universe has unitary consciousness (which implies incredibly massive information processing capability) or infinitely fast propagation of information. Given that light has a finite rate of propagation and time slows down in the presence of a lot of information in a small space, neither of those appear to be true.

Facebook investigates fake cancer child post
I used to go through all the folders on my magazine cover CDs looking for interesting stuff - mostly game assets in formats I knew how to play with outside the game, like MOD files, sound files, images, but I found a file of emails to/from one of the contributors one time. (Sorry to that person for reading their private email! I was a very bored 15y/o and it was buried treasure to me.)

Also I loved to load executable files into a hex editor and look for readable symbols among the stuff that was beyond my understanding.

There was a bug in my hex viewer, though, where you could scroll off the end of the file and it would hexdump the next block on disk or memory locations beyond the loaded file instead. So I got very confused/paranoid viewing what I thought was the file from one game and seeing messages from another game or some of my own personal information.

E2E is a term that dictates that when I send information, only the intented reciepient can decrypt it, under the assumption that the keys are safe.

Zero knowledge proofs is a constuct where I can prove something to you, without leaking any information. For instance, you want to buy a house, but before the seller wants to sign, he wants proof that you can actually pay x $ in down payment. Traditionally you would go down to your bank, get a piece of paper stating that you have x $ locked and only usable for this purchage for the next 60 days. It doesn't say how much you have in your account, where the money is from or anything else. A zero knowledge proof is the same, just digital.

E2E would not help here, because it doesn't prove anything, it's just a term about the comunication being safe.

Samsung’s reputation nosedives in the US after Galaxy Note 7 snafu
I use CrashPlan (as does my family) and I keep an archive encryption key so it's encrypted on my side. I've found this fantastic (for example when my sister's laptop died as we needed to retrieve her dissertation). It's quite cheap and has unlimited storage. I don't back up everything on here, only the important stuff.

I also have a Time Machine drive that sits on my desk for quick access / just to have another option (although it is not encrypted so I might wipe it and find a way to use TM with encryption).
I'm very interested to see what comes next too! Please do post about any future uploads to HN.

> we are inside her head and we know she is conscious by any meaningful definition of the word, so she cannot be a p-zombie.

Is she? She doesn't act to change her fate; she's a passive observer in her own life, which seems to make whatever consciousness she has epiphenomenal at best (and therefore something we'd feel justified in assuming away under Occam's razor, since it has no effect on the world outside her head).

And at the risk of going all postmodern, it's worth pointing out that she is in reality a character in a story and therefore not conscious. One could argue that the point of the story is that characters in a story are not conscious (and go from there to a paradox: since we all tell stories of our lives, can any of us be conscious? But I think that doesn't offer anything that's not already present in the argument that we can't have had free will in the past since our past decisions are now fixed).
Then how can accidents like the I mentioned happen due to human error? Two trains crashed because they were both given a green light on the same track by the train dispatcher. That does not sound autonomous to me.
In the context of it always being plugged in, and just handing out keys when the system asks for it, I call it completly compromised.
From a users point of view the UI is the software. To people who program for a living this may seem ridiculous: The UI doesn't do anything without the code. But to the user it's the opposite. The UI does the work, everything else doesn't even exist.
At home I use Dropbox for some files and Resilio Sync for others

At work we make heavy use of version controlled configuration management where we can recreate any machine from just rerunning the ansible playbook and duply backup for databases and other storage.

While duply was trivial to set up, nice to work with, and much more stable than any other solutions that we were using previously if I were to do it again with more than a handful of machines I would have likely looked into reversing the flow with a pull based backup just to have a better overview since I don't trust a `duply verify` monitoring to catch all possible issues.

Cloud backup is managed by a server fetching the data and then backing it up with duply.

We also run a rsync of all disk image snapshots from one DC to another (and vice versa) but that is more of a disaster recovery in case our regular backups fail or were not properly set up for vital data since it would take more effort to recover from those backups

In my point of view first, we should ban these data and privacy breach apps in our state then move on the other Governmental monitorings and protect our privacies.

The part about performative language counters this objection. Yes, attempting to respond with equamnity - and succeeding, or failing - is all part of the script. But the performance of it is the thing itself.

Wow, until this article I had no idea BetterTouchTool now supported touch bar customization. This is huge. Next to the crazy price, the touch bar was my only other gripe about my 15" tMBP - I absolutely love the keyboard, the huge touch pad, and everything else about it. But now with this tool (I've been tinkering around with it for a bit now), that last complaint is entirely gone.

The touch bar is finally useful now - contextual, customizable, visual shortcuts for anything I'd want to do on the Mac. Super powerful.

VSCode Extension to Compile PHP to .NET Core
Wow...this brings back some memories. Back in the 90s, 2400 baud dial-up was still a normal thing, I was employee #1 at a bootstrapped ISP. It was started in some spare office space in the back of a warehouse by some college friends and financed mostly on credit cards.

The equipment was mostly home rolled, real MacGyver type stuff, but we targeted above average industry standards for service. With a little advertising, amazingly we grew very fast and hit several thousand subscribers in just a few months. We eventually outgrew our space and moved into another one just next door to our upstream provider who ran a cable through their ceiling/our floor so we could have have service.

I worked there as we slowly upgraded equipment until we were 56k on all lines and then we started hitting major capital equipment cost issues. Getting those phone company to get us the proper lines for 56k was hard enough (their standard of service was "if you can hear a voice it's fine"), but getting equipment that could support ISDN -- the next big thing -- was a huge transition point.

So we sunk virtually all of our money into the equipment, and then the industry rapidly moved on to rolling out DSL. Turns out customer weren't generally willing to pay the extra fees involved in having ISDN service and were willing to simply wait for the DSL rollout.

Effectively locked out of the new Internet access technology (you could only really offer it at that time if you owned the last mile lines and we could never get close to affording that) the company was sold and we all moved on -- a story that was repeated thousands of times across the country.

To put into perspective the magnitude of the change in the industry, it would be like somebody starting an ISP today, being able to buy and run fiber to the last mile and all that, and then next year a blimp fleet and satellite constellation started offering higher speed, more reliable internet for about the same price you were barely scraping by on. And now to compete you need to launch your own fleets and constellations.
Some of the cheap tv tuner dongles certainly cover that frequency range. They generally have fairly narrow bandwidth though. So if the signal you want to look at is very wide you might need something better than the entry level dongle.

I don't conflate consciousness with the ability to change your fate. We all die, after all. The problem is that it's very hard to define consciousness at all. Ultimately the only person you can be sure is conscious is you -- or in this extraordinary case, Louise, since we are privy to her inner monologue (something which cannot happen in real life, of course).

Yes, Louise is a character so she cannot be truly conscious, but that's too meta. You could go post-post-modern and argue that since Louise's real name is Ted Chiang, and he is conscious (surely?), then she must also be :)
There are way more important rules when it comes to passenger safety like e.g. driving according to the speed limit. I had a lot of taxi rides in my life and they definetly didn't feel safer than uber/lyft rides since, at least in my country, taxi drivers drive like lunatics.
Not only that, there are tons of poorly coded bots that will remember and request entire URLs complete with the hash and hash content.

Tips to choose the best DevOps tool for your organization
The money quote from the book is:

> [...] What made it possible for me to exercise
> freedom of choice also made it impossible for me
> to know the future. Conversely, now that I know
> the future, I would never act contrary to that
> future, including telling others what I know.

I.e. her situation is completely analogous to Paul Atreides in
Dune. She can see the future, she can change events, but if she ever
did she couldn't see the future anymore. So she throws her daughter
under the metaphorical bus to retain her powers.

I think it's a rather bleak story, "woman can see future events,
prefers to live out the spoiler version of her life rather than
changing anything and being surprised", but whatever, at least it's
internally consistent.

What I'm pointing out is that the storyline of the movie makes
absolutely no sense, because there she can see the future and is
able to change events based on that information, not lose her seeing
powers, and seemingly create time loops where people in the future
only did certain things because she did them in the present, based on information they gave her in the future because she did that!

The movie tries to evade this problem with a slight of hand. They
change the circumstances of her daughter's death to be inevetable,
otherwise the audience would be up in arms at the obvious
contradiction that she can change the future based on seeing what
General Shang is going to do, but somehow can't tell her daughter not
to take up climbing as a hobby.
