well, you are mentioning an example where:

- there is data

- there is a wide market that could justify large investments in AI

With this combination, yeah I can see AI being used. In fact medecine is one of the few professions that never industrialised. But there are loads of other professions where either or none of the conditions above are met.

If you are talking about a doctor specialised in a rare disease, where there is very little data, and very few patients to cure, how do you think AI will replace that?

You need a captcha to log in so that it's hard to make multiple fake accounts. You need captchas to buy stuff because otherwise one could make all accounts manually and then use them to quickly buy products to spend some bank account before it's banned.

I think each smallish site would benefit from designing their own captchas because that way the effort to solve for machines would be harder than solving the Google captchas. The effort to solve for humans would be a lot lower. This is perhaps one of the few areas where rolling your own security solution is beneficial by virtue of it being different.

Yep, just like the dairy lobby fights against "almond milk", "soy milk", "rice milk", etc.

I understand why these lobbies are doing what they do, but the end result is that customers may not get full information and products that are better (defined as healthier, lower environmental impact, or otherwise) may not survive.

Thanks a lot for sharing your experience. You are working purely remote, I assume? I'd be curious to see how I'd fare in their screening process.

Can you tell me roughly how many hours in total the screening process takes? (excluding the time you took to study) And how many hours did you spend on the live project? Was it an actual project, or just a dummy one?

I'm asking because I'm working full time, and the whole screening process sounds very time intensive. Not sure if all of this could be done after work hours, or if I'd have to take a couple of days of vacation.

Yeah, I read the 30% amount and the study now makes sense as to why the participants had the same results. I wish they had the low carb group do < 20g carbs/day. I think they would have seen a difference.

I've done the keto target at less than 5g, 10g, 15g, 20g (depending what stage you're at) carbs a day. Even increasing that number to 100g carbs a day kind of ruins that diet.

The under 10g carbs a day has worked very well for me. Just remember, stay hydrated! =p
> even though resolving the ambiguity requires bringing to bear specific knowledge about the world

Actually, in this example knowledge of the world (I'm interpreting this as referring to knowing the details of how "files" and "hard drives" relate to each other) is not necessary. The ambiguity disappears as soon as you know the meaning of "fit" -- fitting requires a large thing to contain a small thing. Therefore if something is too large, it must be the contained object, and if something is too small, it must be the container, and those roles are marked directly within the syntax of the sentence.

You can easily see this experimentally by asking people about sentences with nonsense words:

1. The glirp couldn't fit on the vell because it was too small.

2. The glirp couldn't fit on the vell because it was too big.

Then again, I see you've already noted that speakers who don't know what files or hard drives are should have no trouble with these sentences. Is the lexical meaning of "fit" "knowledge about the world" to you?

> It means that if you was tech lead for two years and then for a year, I don't really want you for long term tech lead position here. Because you don't value nor see precisely things tech leads needs to do and be good at.

Being tech lead on the same project for more than a year or two (or possibly longer for more complex systems) yields rapidly diminishing margins. Put it this way: other things being equal a person who was lead on the same project for 4 years has less added experience than a person who has been lead on two different projects for 2 years each. In fact, the second guy very likely has a much larger cumulative value, because he's carried two projects through and has the perspectives and experiences of having to make different tradeoffs.

I'd rather have one of my tech lead reports leverage his skills learned from leading one project to leading a different one. Then he can draw on the experience of leading each in addition to having the ability to compare different experiences. That is is itself valuable experience, and positions him to grow even more.
> If all users start using segwit addresses and segwit transactions

SegWit blocks can vary from 1MB in non-ideal conditions to near 4MB in ideal conditions. 2MB is just the average.

You're right, yes, ideally we'd want everyone using SegWit transactions. But we don't need all users to start using them to start seeing congestion relief.

I would expect 90% of transactions are generated by 10% of Bitcoin's users. Maybe even more skewed than that. (That 10% is likely businesses, power users, etc). Getting those 10% to switch to SegWit transactions will be relatively easy; they'll feel the value of reduced fees more readily.

It's likely Bitcoin Core would start using SegWit addresses by default some time after SegWit is activated. Since the majority of users use Bitcoin Core, the shift wouldn't take too long.

> hardfork would solve that issue immediately - no need to upgrade wallets, no need to figure out how do segwit-inside-P2SH addresses work (they are different from normal addresses!).

Hardfork _does_ require upgrading wallets. In fact, it requires upgrading _all_ wallets. Anyone who hasn't upgraded cannot participate in Bitcoin any longer if a hardfork is used.

Contrast that with SegWit. SegWit doesn't require that everyone upgrade. And yet everyone will benefit from the increased block capacity, even those not using SegWit addresses, because the fees overall will go down.

> Again nobody knows. Lightning network might be a vaporware. Literally nobody is using it, since it does not exist.

The plan was for SegWit to activate, providing a more immediate ~2MB increase in block size, and then mid-term we'd see things like the lightning network come online and provide further relief. Long term developers would continue improving network efficiency which means the existing blocks can carry more transactions, and also eventually a hardfork to add some mechanism for increasing blocksize (that doesn't require further hardforks).

> Well, that's a matter of "policy"

I didn't mean that SegWit transactions were inherently cheaper in terms of fees. Sure, fees are always policy. But, AFAIK, SegWit transactions are actually cheaper in terms of network load. The discount on SegWit transactions is not just to expand the blocksize; they're also discounted because they put less strain on the network compared to old-style transactions.

EDIT: And to be clear, the SegWit discount we're talking about is a discount on the weight of a SegWit transaction's size in calculating the total blocksize. AFAIK, there is no fee discount on SegWit transactions; they pay the same per byte fee. SegWit2X has no way to remove that discount without changing consensus rules. So that specifically is not a matter of policy; it's matter of consensus. It would thus required another hardfork to change those rules.
My wife and I have been doing Keto since May 1st. I'm down 17lbs now (started at 221, right around 204-205 now, goal is 195). She started at 135 (she's 5'8" so not much for her to lose) and is down around 129 now.

Weight loss is great, but the energy gains from the diet are incredible. I never crash anymore. I have steady energy all day, and way less lethargy in general. Also, in general my stomach is not tempermental anymore. I used to get stomach aches after dinner, no more.

It does make eating out trickier, but oh well.

Now, I don't necessarily think it's just keto that is responsible. I think it's these 3 things (in this order):

1) Way less beer drinking (and when I do, it's Miller Lite or something comparably light on carbs)

2) In general just paying attention to what we eat

3) The science of Keto itself

On the second point especially, it's kinda insane to pay attention to the carb counts in some meals. Especially fast foods/Mexican/Italian foods, you're looking at _hundreds_ of grams of carbs in a single meal...sorta nutty.

I recommend everyone try it if not just for the experiment/self control test. I'm not sure what I'm going to do when I hit my goal in terms of lightening up on things or not, but I'm happy so far.

That's a obvious. What I think is being questioned is if they made a good decision. In other I can freely decide not to strap my kid in a car seat but that doesn't mean I won't get a ticket or my child won't be seriously injured or worse in a car accident.
Realistically, what will happen if mining power moves to an alternative chain but Bitcoins are still what is traded at exchanges, is that miners will move back very quickly. The first one to move will gain the most economically, so game theory dictates the move back will be swift.

In the end, miners mine what people buy. It's that simple.

Any speculation as to what happens if all miners move as one, motivated by ideology instead of economics, is just that.
After a few (many?) failed attempts at keto and other diets (I would always stall out after around 15lbs of weight loss), simply counting calories is by far the only thing that has worked for me well. Currently, I target 1,400 kcal a day (8-16 intermittent fasting with 2 meals of 700 calories each) with a calculated TDEE of around 2,500 kcal. I've lost around 60lbs/27.2kg since January 2017 (240lbs/108.9kg to a bit less than 180lbs/81.6kg). I eat whatever I feel like (usually meat, veggies, and a starch in each meal) and just limit calories.

I don't use anything like MyFitnessPal to track calories counted. Keeping things to "eat only 700 calories per meal" is simple enough where you can do a quick Google search before eating to make sure you're on track.

Something interesting is that my error with calorie counting (and possibly metabolism) is about 10-15%, given that the hacker diet calculations (trendweight.com hooked up to my withings scale) calculates my TDEE (based on my actual weight changes) at 2,200 kcal instead of the calculated 2,500 kcal.

Also, I just bought a medium t-shirt last weekend for the first time since I was in high school! :)

Thanks for the insight. Yes, coming off city water. My problem is that my life is full of lots of other priorities and free time is at a steep premium.

>That's the only justification. What other justification is there?

That those who hear it can understand what the speaker is talking about -- I would say that is the only justification necessary (indeed, for any word), and is more than justified for the term "maths".
You seem amusingly obsessed over a trivial difference in the way two different varieties of English chose to shorten the word 'mathematics'. As far as I can tell, there are no official rules for shortening words in English, so I don't think that 'maths' is in any more need of a justification than 'math'. Or 'stats' vs 'stat' for statistics, come to that.

I'm curious -- what effect does the life insurance policy have?

Is the risk that you die during an event which is not covered or is there some other contingency (like simply taking unnecessary risks while alive can be used to justify voiding of the policy postmortem)?
As long as he has a partner and/or other family that could take care of the children, and a good life insurance policy, I don't see much of a problem.

Children are quite resilient, emotionally. And I wouldn't underestimate the positive effects it can have if your parents live interesting lives.

And then, there's the bicycle helmet paradox: disparaging him for his decisions may just keep people like him from having children altogether. Considering such risk-takers tend to be well-educated, and provide an intellectually stimulating environment for their children, it may be better for society to just let him be.

(the bicycle helmet analogy is that making helmets mandatory keeps enough people from riding bikes altogether, resulting in a net loss of life expectancy even when factoring in the reduction in deaths from accidents)
This is an interesting discussion about a topic we know doesn't work. Every piece of reliable data shows that diets don't work. 95% of people who diet gain that weight back and more within 1-5 years. Nutrition philosophies based on deprivation are doomed to fail. A better question might be is what healthy lifestyle components lead to a healthier experience?
> it seems quite a reasonable argument that, while you have a young child, you shouldn't actively go around risking your life -- they're your dependents

That's an argument for having life insurance; it's not necessarily an argument for not taking risks.
Thing is, vegetables have varying amounts of carbs that can set back your low-carb diet.

For example, celery, broccoli and lettuce are very fibrous and humans don't really digest the carbs, so they have little impact. Probably only ruminants can extract significant nutrition.

On the other hand, in roughly increasing order of carb content, tomato (technically a fruit), onion, carrots, potatoes, corn, wheat products, and rice will reduce the effectiveness of a low carb diet, especially if dieters are told it's ok to eat vegetables all day long without specific guidance on what to avoid.

I agree that ultimately it comes down to the rate at which we put energy into our bodies vs the rate at which our bodies use the energy and don't store it as fat.

Unfortunately, there are confounding factors that make this a simplistic heuristic. Things like underactive thyroids, insulin response to blood glucose fluctuations, our basal metabolic rate, and similar things, many of which are often genetically determined.

I believe that a really important reason to do a low-carb diet with moderate protein and enough fat for satiation is that it is much easier to sustain as a permanent lifestyle change than a low-fat diet, which in my experience leaves one often feeling hungry and unsatisfied. And the permanent change is what is needed for long-term success.
> become an integral part of who you are

You can say that about anything. Smoking, alcohol, racism, leftism ( jk :-D )

But is identity investment in something life-risking really compatible with reasonable parenting? that's the question.
Your energy gains are more from being more healthy and not weighing as much. Not so much the particular diet you're on.

Now that you are down 17lbs, go grab 17lbs worth of weights and strap them to your body somehow and walk around the house for a bit like that. It's pretty incredible how much 17lbs will feel like. Now think of how much harder your body had to work to carry that extra 17lbs everywhere. (This is assuming that the 17lbs lost was not comprised of muscle =p)
