Slippery slope - This seems like a couple of steps away from forced censoring of emails. I can see this becoming mandatory in emails and messages. But who would control the filters? Will extra meta data with content rating be sent along with message?
Classification is the central paradigm in machine learning. It maps complex input signals into a limited number of classes. But now we have algorithms that do the opposite process as well - we can generate from latent representations images, video, text and drawings.

Having both ways to encode and decode is useful for interfacing with models and visualizing their internal states. It also leads to unsupervised learning of representations. Instead of generating simple labels, now we can generate very complex data.
> It would be seem very sad if tribalism in all its forms is simply an emergent behaviour, a result of a random fluctuation (e.g. one or two racist individuals) causing a chain reaction throughout society, where biases become gradually amplified even if most individuals are, themselves, generally well-meaning. How do we escape from that?

Sadly, that seems to be the case.

I wouldn't even turn racism into a "special case" here. Humans are capable of dividing themselves into ingroups and outgroups over everything, no matter how trivial. I suspect the segregation process will occur with all in/outgroup divisions. Separations along the race and gender lines are particularly prevalent because those are the most obvious, noticeable differentiators between people.
I keep seeing $1350 mentioned. It's not a ceiling. $1350 (or 4x the cost of the leg, whichever is lower), is the maximum the airline is legally obligated to offer an involuntary refused-boarding.

They're free to offer $2000, $3000 if they think it's in their best interests (or in this case, cheaper than the inevitable suit). $1350 is just a cap on their legal obligation, not their moral.
It's usually pretty generic stuff. I wasn't a good fit, or they found someone else that's a better candidate, etc. Liability reasons cause them to withhold details. Many people consider all interviews practice, but practice only makes you better if you get proper feedback.
Keep in mind many people check in at home the day before. I flew recently and Delta offered me the option and I declined because I had to arrive at a certain time.

This is absurd.

However, I don't think there is a huge market for 10Gbps Internet is the suburbs of a relatively small city like Chattanooga. That number seems to be used more to highlight the absurdity, but I question it's validity as a comparison metric.
No. I'm talking about the border guards who check passports when flying back into the country. The one I talked to did not understand the concept of dual citizenship and insisted that I get rid of my non-US passport as soon as I entered because it is illegal. This is after failing to find my stamp in my US passport that had all of three stamps in it and trying to claim that I didn't have one! Talk about stupid! This borders on retardation! I assume this is the norm and the other concepts I mentioned are also beyond their meager understanding simply because this guy was so stupid that if he made it through the hiring process, plenty of other idiots have too. Hell, compared to this, the TSA employees are courteous and generally at least do their job properly.

The sample doesn't really give me a sense of whether this book is right for me. It contains a lot of material from the early chapters, but little of the parts of that confused me in college.

My primary question is whether this book is good at conveying the reasoning that promotes intuition around the more difficult (for me) topics, such as vector spaces and the many theorems associated with the Fundamental Theorem of LA?

If not, suggestions for other resources are very welcome!
The main reason I've come to avoid prototypes in many cases (except when I really need to control memory) is that you can't keep any kind of information private (via closure) and share it across instance methods. It has to be a property on the instance, and is therefore accessible to anybody with access to the instance.

Conventions (like prefixing with _) are great, but they can only help loosely enforce encapsulation and provide no form of real privacy.

Are there any lawyers around who can explain the $1350 limit? Some sites like DailyKOS[1] have claimed that the $1350 "limit" has been misinterpreted. What it really means is that $1350 (or four times the fare, whichever is less) is the maximum amount the airlines are required to pay. It does not mean that they cannot pay more, nor that it is illegal for them to do so.

Yup, I use lxsession and lxrandr. It can be a little strange on a laptop when connecting and disconnecting other displays, but it's only a slight inconvenience. For me the trade off is extremely worth it, because hotkeys flow through my veins.
I'm in the Portland area, which I think helps. Occasionally we miss city life, so we head down to Boston, which is a pretty reasonable 90 minute drive.

I don't think I could live too far north of Freeport or Brunswick, and I'm not very interested in living too far west of 95. Parts of this state are certainly backwards. Actually, the majority is if you go by land area, but I think we have a nice thing going in York and Cumberland counties.
> Ideally, you say - 'This project isn't working because you failed to gather requirements from the right users." or "You spent three months choosing a vendor without proper due diligence who doesn't have a working client library, documentation, or a functioning test endpoint".

Both of those statements are completely reasonable. Don't conflate directness with anger, berating, personal attacks, etc. It's entirely possible to be direct without attacking people.

"(I'd probably prefer equatorial Mars over Antarctica)"

Antarctica has the extremely important benefit of having earth gravity, whereas Mars is 1/3 the gravity of Earth.

Your health would rapidly decline on mars - everything from your bones becoming brittle to your muscle mass wasting to your teeth decaying. Your body would just fall apart.
> It's bizarre that the computer magazines I read (and obsessively reread) would not have run an article like this.

The "Megamemory Explained" graphic used in this post comes from the Jan. 14, 1986 issue of PC Magazine, part of an article called "Enlarging the Dimensions of Memory." It doesn't cover XMS as the 386 was so new as to be effectively nonexistent at the time, but otherwise seems to be a pretty thorough explanation.
As I recall: you could only access XMS memory by copying. So you had to _copy_ a memory block from above the 1MB barrier to the lower 1MB addressable space to read, and copy back up again to write.

EMS was pageable. You could had up to four 16 KB pages below 1MB that were fully accessible, but you had to select which address above 1MB each of those four pages had to point to.

So in short, XMS was inefficient, because you had to copy, and EMS was more efficient because you simply decided which part of the extended memory you wanted to map to lower memory.

I think, EMS was emulated in real mode on the 80386 chip by using its virtual 8086 mode. This was not possible on the 80286, so the 80286 could only use XMS in real mode.

I briefly developed using both EMS and XMS, and as I recall, XMS was somehow less painful to get up and running and generally work with, but the performance conscience part of me obviously favored EMS's paging mechanism.

Fortunately, 32-bit memory came along quickly both in the form of Windows and DOS protected mode.
Same. Took hardly any time to see the SQL injection. I wonder how many more of these there are on older installations using modules that are no longer actively maintained (Hint: probably lots. Code quality has come a long way since the early days of Drupal.)

This was a very interesting read - I'm sure it's fairly well-known, but I hadn't seen it. Thanks for sharing!

There's definitely something chilling about the way that this multidisciplinary team chose to describe radioactivity in the most stark, basic terms. It almost has an element of cosmic horror about it - this passage describing their rough summary of the message would not be out of place in a Lovecraft novel:

This place is a message...and part of a system of messages...pay attention to it!

Sending this message was important to us. We considered ourselves to be a powerful culture.

This place is not a place of honor...no highly esteemed deed is commemorated here...nothing valued is here.

What is here is dangerous and repulsive to us. This message is a warning about danger.

The danger is in a particular location...it increases toward a center...
the center of danger is here...of a particular size and shape, and below us.

The danger is still present, in your time, as it was in ours.

The danger is to the body, and it can kill.

The form of the danger is an emanation of energy.

The danger is unleashed only if you substantially disturb this place physically.
This place is best shunned and left uninhabited.

Similarly, their notes on designing the very form of the structures to reinforce the message of repulsiveness and sickness would also fit into Lovecraft's Old Ones' grim labyrinths. Kind of an interesting similarity. But I guess that his writings often were of people trying to contain horrors which would live long beyond those who had imprisoned them.

Well, hopefully fact won't follow fiction in how people will react to these messages in the future.

> General relativity isn't all there is to physics.

It's what's relevant to a discussion of the Alcubierre drive, which is what the post I originally responded to in this subthread was talking about. That's why I was using the GR definition of "exotic matter", as I've already explained.

> you'll find that the term has been used in cosmology (dark matter) and quantum mechanics as well. (Everything from strings to gravitons.)

Which term? "Exotic matter" or "negative-mass matter"?

I have not seen the term "exotic matter" used for any of these things in actual science textbooks or papers. Pop science sources might use the term colloquially to refer to all kinds of things, yes, but that just makes the term useless. Science tries to use precise definitions for a reason.

I have not seen the term "negative-mass matter" used at all in science textbooks or papers except when they explain why such a thing can't exist. So I don't know what you mean by this term if you're using it in any sense other than to refer to the Bose-Einstein condensate described in the WSU paper.
I am saying that if I am responsible for a group and someone refuses to follow instructions, even instructions not related to safety, I have no confidence that they will be any more cooperative with respect to safety-related matters.

And therefore, if I have an option not to take responsibility for that person I will exercise that option by either removing that person or just canceling the entire activity.
> I just sent the e-mail anyway, but it is interesting that I've been conditioned to question myself over a very innocuous reply to make sure my tone was appropriate, as to not risk offending the other party.

That's a good habit to get into, particularly given how many of our usual non-verbal cues don't come across in email.

I often think to myself "I'm about to send a mail to X hundred/thousand people; it's worth my taking a couple extra moments or even minutes considering exactly how it might come across".

Besides Upwork, what places do you suggest for freelance work? And the freelance work wasn't on an online marketplace. It was from an ex-boss that gave me side projects that his employees didn't want/have the time to work on.

I don't write cover letters unless it's required. Almost all my jobs I apply as a total stranger.. I hardly know any software engineers, and none of my friends on Facebook know of anybody looking to hire one.

I only had one friend refer me to a job in 2015. She knew the CEO of a small company. After two onsite interviews I didn't get an offer. It an was odd reason. They changed their mind on giving me a technical assessment because they already concluded that I wasn't fit to do the assessment.

The counter argument would be that the Dr Dao incident was "refusal of transport": https://www.united.com/web/en-US/content/contract-of-carriag... because no oversell happened. You'll see none of the reasons to invoke rule 21 are valid in this case.

Or, you can argue that laws and regulations outside of the contract of carriage apply. I don't think this is a case where just the United contract of carriage settles it. There are actual aviation lawyers saying things like "this is very gray".
How bizarre. I specifically relocated from NZ to the U.S. because of the lack of job opportunities in the Tech industry. I'd been looking for a job for over 9 months in New Zealand. I flew into the U.S. to visit my dad and applied for some jobs and had an offer within two weeks. Not only is the cost of living cheaper here (where I'm located at in the U.S.), but my salary is much better off at about 30,000 higher than what I ever made in NZ.

If politics is what's motivating your relocation to a country like New Zealand, let me assure you, local politics are just as silly if not more so over there. Not only that but people are just as obsessed with American politics, and as an American, you will be singled out for these political discussions often. You may even find yourself discriminated against for your origins and nationality as I often did.

Plus the prototype pattern is more idiomatic JS and combines better with other OO libraries than the class constructor pattern in top comment.

Also, the ES2015 class keyword is syntactic sugar for the best of both worlds of the prototype pattern, combined with the private variable support of the class pattern. It does the right thing with both `this` and `super` (which is possible but tough with the prototype pattern and nearly impossible or at least crazy tough to do right with the class constructor pattern) and is as useful/important to replacing that = this/self = this antipatterns as arrow functions are.

> "Probably" is not how laws work.

It totally is. In the sense that you have no way to predict with certainty what a judge or jury will rule. Especially in cases where the law seems ambiguous, and/or where it or the relevant aspect of it not been tested in court much.
'Wikipedia with intuitions' would beat out any single book trying to record them. My hope is that they one day expand their scope to not only cover knowledge but different ways of looking at it/understanding it.

Then for any given topic a given subject's 'lesson plan' could just follow a 'sequence' (a la LW) of excerpts reviewed for accuracy (in lieu of reading such excerpts out of a book) along with mediawiki/etc animations/images/videos that go along with those subjects.

I suppose it'd be a good idea to version those 'lesson plans' so later courses/syllabuses can benefit from newly-researched knowledge after it has been peer reviewed and added to a later 'version' of the curriculum (i.e. mitigating the 'quality control' issue of information shared online). And of course lecturing as it traditionally exists can still thrive albeit with a more freed focus for interactive learning (Q+A, practice problems in class, or whatever transpires to be the best tool to use in dedicated class time/lecture time)... It just seems like singleton books as knowledge containers are obsolete next to the potential of QAing existing 'open source' knowledge without the publisher/etc overhead.
Motivation. A machine that has its own motivation will produce work we won't like and will be attacked for it (I'd like to mention that I stand with sentient machines against stupid humans when that day comes, BTW).

You think art is just some stimulus-response thing because American psychology has been mired in behaviorism for decades and lacks a coherent theory of mind. But art is much more than the whimsical reproduction of presented stimuli to varying levels of accuracy, it is about making selections that foreclose other possibilities and which embody a certain perversity.

I paint, among other things, and one thing I especially enjoy about painting is that it's solitary rather than performative so I don't have to interact with other people while I slap colored goop onto sheets of fabric. While I'm painting, I think intensely about the part I'm working on now, (duh) and also why I'm making that painting, and what decisions about the painting are coming up that will be impossible to undo.

Why did you paint this and why did you paint it this way are questions that cannot be answered by automation. Nor does the answer lie in technique. There's no shortage of technically astonishing work that is semantically empty; I die a little every time I see a Facebook video of some impressive new graphic technique that is then used to reproduce some lowest-common-denominator pop icon for maximum recognizability. There's no feeling there and the resultant work is about as thrilling as a robocall or a display mannequin. The level of craftsmanship is very high indeed, but the level of artistry is close to zero. In short, it's eye candy that never activates anything much past your visual cortex, or at most tugs on some existing semantic relationship.

When I talk about feeling, I mean the desire of the artist that the work embodies. That isn't something that comes along after a certain level of technical accomplishment has been reached. It is what motivates the act of creation in the first place.

DSL often tops out at 1Mbps if you are far from the CO. At huge expense (I saw one DSL upgrade that was $8000 a house) you might get that to 2Mbps.

Once you have the fiber, it is possible to offer 10 Mbps, 100 Mbps, 1Gbps or 10Gbps, in fact, the extra cost to offer the service isn't that much.

It shows how absurd the pricing models are for broadband in the U.S... That is, the real cost is building the infrastructure, once you have that, there isn't a big point in usage caps.
It seems to be an unpopular opinion, but I completely agree. Personally I find Arch to suit my needs better than Fedora, but I do recommend Fedora to friends who aren't going to be setting up i3-wm and want access to the AUR. In the last five years, Ubuntu has been the only distro to cause me major problems that weren't easily resolved. That might partially be familiarity with Arch, but something tells me it's a little more to do with Canonical.
"out to 60 semitones" -- does this mean you're interpreting the diagram as a pitch-map covering five octaves? I was interpreting it as a tone-map comprising 12 semitones grouped into five distinct tonal regions with the center web indicating specific movements from one tonal region to another.

I don't claim to understand any of this, but it sure sounds like you are correct, looking at the terminology.

Someone had already added the paper to the "Negative mass" article, so I removed it:

https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Negative_mass&dif...

... And added it to the "Effective mass (solid-state physics)" article:

https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Effective_mass_(s...

The bit I removed from the "Negative mass" article said:

In April 2017, researchers at Washington State University claimed to have created a fluid with negative mass inside a Bose-Einstein Condensate.

I expanded it ever so slightly to read:

In April 2017, researchers at Washington State University claimed to have created a fluid with negative effective mass inside a Bose–Einstein condensate, by engineering the dispersion relation.

Slightly awkward, but hopefully at least a slight improvement.

PS: also added a "disambiguation" thingy at the top ("For negative mass in theoretical physics, see Negative mass."), now realizing it may be of dubious utility.
No, because every adaptor I've seen so far (except for the official Apple dock, which is super awkward) only allows power, not data, through the second Lightning port. This includes the Belkin one.
