> It also means that they all know everyone knows it, and know that everyone knows everyone knows it, ad infinitum.

Well not ad-infinitum. Just 3 levels needed:

1. I know (think of a graph with one node A)

2. I know that the other knows (A -> B)

3. I know that the other knows, that I know (A <-> B).

That's basically how common sense works, and it helps groups of people work as a group (solve problems, achieve a common goal). But first this bootstrapping is necessary.

Anyway, in this particular case it is like political or ideological common sense ("the emperor doesn't have clothes"). That's why large gathering of people were looked at with suspicion or were outright illegal, because it might start this bootstrapping process. Then before you know it, people start to act.

This is probably one reason that gatherings protests are useful to -- achieve this effect. It can be done online, but a lot of communication is non-verbal, it's how people say things, how they act, dress, tone of voice, etc.

This seems more like pipe-based processing for multimedia than AWK-based. I don't see what AWK does in relation to this that any good UNIX-y utility that is pipe-friendly is doing (grep, sed, etc).
It's not fair comparing speakers to headphones/earphones, because speakers have to move a lot more air. Cheap earphones can have excellent bass response because they're coupled directly to the eardrums. The NS10s only have 18cm (7in) woofers, so it's not surprising their -3db bass cutoff is 70Hz. As "Hoffman's Iron Law" of loudspeaker design says: deep bass, small size, high efficiency: choose two.
"Data points"

That feels like a charitable euphemism but I suppose it is literally true in a way.

In America, when I ask for half a cup of coffee at Starbucks (no I don't ask for a discount), because I don't want/need that much coffee, I get weird looks.

Sure. But not in a form that's applicable for ML / AI.

It's naming a buzzword and expecting revolutionary results, without actually suggesting how $buzzword can applied to achieve those results.

I'm asking for concrete proposals because I think it's an interesting field.

> Computers can beat Lee Sedol at Go, it hardly seems like "magic" for a computer to come up with a query plan that is obvious to a trained human.

Just because a technology worked for one field, doesn't mean it's trivially applicable for other fields (not that the original application for go was trivial in the least).

I can tell you your app would be super useful to airline employees if you could disregard airfare for ranking! Pretty small user subset, but aside from hardcore skiers like yourself I don't know how many people will consider resorts outside their local geographic area due to airfare.

Yet here in the Netherlands I see many coworkers and friends moving partly or totally away from meat due to moral concerns. Others choose to pay higher prices for livestock raised in better conditions.
I'm really enjoying this so far. Using it to keep our app's dashboard floating in the corner to keep an eye on it. My biggest want right now is support for right clicking / keyboard shortcuts in the opened browser pages. Had to manually type out my randomly-generated, 26-character password since I couldn't just copy and paste from 1password. That said, this is great. Well worth the purchase.
Another common term is "finsta", as in "fake Instagram". In principle I don't see anything wrong with compartmentalization and maintaining different online identities, although it can be misused to hide some really ugly behavior.

Yeah, mute buttons are really nothing more than just another key on the keyboard... They depend on software implement the function, and can just as easily be ignored or overridden by software. Nothing wrong with having mute buttons, as they very handy in conference calls and such, but they are NOT kill switches.

Thinkpads (including my current W510) used to have a slide switch to physically disable WiFi. I really wish the Retro had that, as well as switches to physically disconnect the webcam and microphones. The webcam can be fixed with a bit of black electrical tape, but the mic is not so easy. I've seriously considered going in with a soldering iron to add a switch there.
We need a poll to determine what CowboyNeal says on the matter.
Yep, we used Unity. It gets a hard time sometimes, but if you treat it just like you would any other toolset/language/tool, it really is pretty great. It's also pretty easy to jump into, and have something running quick (Hello World style), though definitely takes some time to get used to the different paradigms and the "Unity Way".
That is not at all what my line of thought was. My point was that you can't just cut meat out of your diet and think that you are behaving more moral than before. If you increase, say, your chocolate, or palm oil, tea, etc consumption, then you may be increasing human suffering compared to when you were an omnivore.
Now I'm curious to see how different user agents would handle SSL validation for bit errors at different points in the process.
Another problem with such moral pitches is that at no place can a clear line be drawn between life that is okay to simply raise & kill for feed, and life that isn't. There's all sorts of attempts to morally distinguish between eating furry animals that have big glassy eyes and birth cute little babies, and other less anthropomorphically-empathetic animals such as birds, fish, or insects. That certainly may be a preference, but it's not a scrutable predicate with any shared sense of objectivity.

Any time someone draws any specific moral line based on life or intelligence, everybody else raises an eyebrow about the legitimacy of that line.

Even taking it all the way down, plants have communities, negotiate resource exchange, have fear & pain responses, and are basically just as alive as anything else. They just eat differently and move slower. And yet we eat their live young (care for some sprouts in your salad?)

Unfortunately, people had already forgotten about the Clipper Chip when Al Gore got the nomination the first time.
Observationally, our society seems to have forgotten that liberties come with responsibilities. It seems that we are unaware that freedom comes with a price, and that price is not a one-time payment, but an ever-present obligation.

We have the right to a free press. Our responsibilities include vetting our information sources, responding to bad press, and providing better press should the existing press fail in its duties.

We have the right of free speech. Our responsibilities include countering dishonest speech, being mindful of our own speech, and defending the right to free speech.

We have the right to bear arms. Our responsibilities include keeping our arms reasonably repaired and secured, being educated in their safe use, and encouraging safe use from others.

The list goes on. To paraphrase a certain superhero, with great rights come great responsibilities. The system appears to fail when people ignore their responsibilities. It seems to fail when we rely on others to fulfill our duties. Every member of that society is obligated to those responsibilities, though shirking their duty has become the norm.

I don't have a solution and I am not a skilled writer, but hopefully this gibberish makes sense.
This is amazing -- we have a small mountain of Cython code, and almost everything is working out of the box!

I doubt spaCy will ever be faster on PyPy (the neural network library Thinc is currently 50% slower). It'd still be really great to get it running, so people who benefit from PyPy for other parts of their stack don't have to manage two Python environments.
> Is such animal mistreatment in a farm not a crime in the states in question?

I don’t believe it is—the article specifically says it’s illegal elsewhere but not in America. In the states where it might be illegal, the laws in question were passed as a result of reasonable debates balancing the cost of food against the wellness of animals. All-or-nothing often yields the latter.

> I find it absurd and sad that the "crime" of documentation and rescue

While falsifying intent for purposes of undercover reporting is illegal in some states, stealing is illegal everywhere. If they had to act, they should have immediately given the piglets to the (a) farm’s management or (b) police. Worst case: immediately hire a lawyer upon return to the shelter. The methods they used were dumbly deployed.
Thank you for the reply. So it would be possible to use it without the nvidia card, but then connecting to an external monitor will not work. that's sad, but I rarely work with external monitors.

Looked up on different forums and people had quite some trouble with Linux and nvidia cards, so I'm really not convinced.

I've read as well on reddit [1] that the key travel is actually less than on the classic and newer chicklet style keyboards. Will wait until people report how the typing experience is with this keyboard. I don't care about the looks, but the typing experience is really important, because I'm spending all the time on the keyboard and though I love my T450s, I have to say that it's far from the IBM Thinkpad keyboards (although it's seems one of the best for modern laptops).

I'm still not decided.

Can you clarify on what you did with it? I'd love to start dabbling in solving problems with ML, but am a bit intimidated by getting started. Is it fairly easy for a novice to do the things you did?
Friend of mine does this. All well and good, if you like working primarily in Windows. I prefer Linux as my primary OS, so this approach is rather less than ideal for me.
Me too, and alt with my thumb. It drives me insane when Ctrl is not the outermost key.

> i don't know what you mean by 'truthful'. it's not wrong, and it's simply a nod to possibility, as that wasn't even the argument.

Yes, it is wrong. Saying something is "likely" to occur, is the same as saying there is some doubt. There isn't.

>this is just a waste of time on a tangent so someone feels like they had some kind of point.

Then why are you adamant about it? Do you have to "win" every argument? The poster was right, you could have said so.

> further, your comparison doesn't seem very apt. you're talking about a historical event. compared to applying labels to people today who haven't necessarily identified as those labels, as a way to rationalize and endorse violence.

I was just trying to quickly show why what you wrote wasn't truthful via an example. Instead it seems I had to spell it out.

jesus what a bizarre narrative they’re trying to sell here. i don’t understand why i’m supposed to be aghast at the idea that some small number of white racists exist and vote, and repeatedly telling me i need to be isn’t enough to make it so. it definitely isn’t evidence that america is some sort of white supremacist nation. racial hatred simply doesn’t taint everything to the right of chomsky, and no narrative will make it so.

journalists really seem to long for the days when their voices were the most important ones and their profession had cultural power. now they appear to be trying to reclaim that power by positioning themselves as the high priests of the diversity theology, doling out our responsibility for sins and demanding constant contrition, while working to make it difficult for people to actually study the phenomena they decry closely enough to figure out how to actually intervene correctly.

Right, there's no PRs/MRs in Git itself, but branches are there, specifically in that there's nothing about the existence of or use of branches in GitHub/GitLab that needs to be brought back into Git, that stuff is already there.

I recognize and accept the argument that it might be nice for Git to track merge-requests and issues (hence my link to Fossil SCM)
Simply striving to reduce (not eliminate) meat consumption seems to work quite well. Smaller portions, one veggie day per week, or eating oysters and mussels (not capable of feeling pain).

And eat less chicken. A lot of them need to suffer to supply the same amount of meat as a cow for example.
St. Louis: Most difficult place in America to practice journalism
Unfortunately we're hitting some scaling issues, we're exploring some ways around them, but even in "clean slate" tests we're struggling to exceed ~10k agents in motion without framerates starting to dwindle. We've also very quickly learned that multi-threaded development is, or can be, quite difficult & tedious. Things can go wrong in even more ways than we'd have imagined, though it has been a fun challenge too.

Right now, players with higher-end computers are reporting that they're able to push ~3k or so "pax" (passenger agents) before framerates start to get choppy.

When we receive save game files with bugs to look into, and we load them up and see 4-5k+ pax, we cringe a bit (and it's even worse w/ all our logging on, etc). ;-)

As far as details go, the algorithm for passenger needs/desires/selection is pretty neat -- it uses "delta need scoring", it's quite a robust approach & also a decently-scalable system.

I'm not quite sure I can be hyped. It's worth keeping an eye on. The core dbms is relatively easy to carry and with some careful considerations can be formed and firmed up quite nicely. The irony is the that thicker the oracle kit the more intricate, delicate and expensive it becomes. Storage, db engine, memory and.. cluster ware? Nope, that bird can-nah fly.

Nice database you got there, it'd be a shame if it couldn't grow. Eight figures later.

If ml can expect, select and plant my data closer to the end user then my core rdbms engine can grow, otherwise you're just moving pieces on the monopoly board. Fat pipes, willing victims and a little ingenuity can go a long way.
I don't buy this explanation. You need to full control over the screen's framebuffer to render an image?

Well, we don't actually disagree. :)

What I am saying is that estimates, even wildly incorrect ones, are over-valued and over-used. You seem to agree with that.

I was pretty self-conscious (still am) in why do I mis-estimate but truth be told, nothing much can be done most of the time. If you go the cautious route, management tells you "that's too long, reduce it". If you reduce it, it's very likely you'll miss that now imaginary estimate, and the whole thing restarts itself for yet another vicious cycle.

If you overwork yourself and manage to meet the near-impossible deadline, this becomes the baseline expectation for your productivity. One you cannot maintain for long. Yet again, management is unhappy afterwards.

All of what you said I can easily agree with... if we the programmers had actual decision power in the managerial hierarchy. Which we don't.
Thank you, yes I did try it, bcp does not escape commas or newlines in a field.
Moral arguments for veganism aren't made because they're more emotionally satisfying than arguments for animal welfarism, that comes across as pretty condescending to suggest.

If anyone wants to try Set out with their kids, I made a free[0] Android version a while back. It's called Pipster[1] and it uses dog/cat/rabbit pictures instead of abstract shapes. "Beginner" difficulty is 3 dimensions (shape/color/number of stripes) which is much more appropriate for young children; "normal" and higher difficulties add color-of-stripes as the fourth dimension, which is equivalent to the normal Set game.

If you're out in a reasonably public place then some people are going to take pictures and post them online. It's unreasonable to expect them to filter out pictures where you happen to appear in the frame somewhere. On Facebook though you can at least prevent others from tagging you, so those pictures won't show up when someone searches for you.

I totally agree! I like Go but this is not a field I would ever use it. Parsing the site-s will never will be the bottleneck, but following the HTML changes or making it work for multiple sites is...

I have seen Windows File Explorer lock up over and over again for the same assumption. They assume the dir scan is fast operation. A slow, bad USB drive, NFS, Samba mount, or trying to scan directory with thousands of files will lockup the GUI for long period of time.

Dragging a file over slow/busy system icon with SMB mount will just spin / hang the whole GUI - not a very good UX.

As a thatistheplan subscriber and frequent watcher. I will say that while some of Anthony Fantano's political opinions could be considered in alignment with the alt-right, I definitely don't think he is a member (and in fact was likely a Bernie Sanders supporter). You can check some of his other commentary on channels such as fantano and theneedledrop and it's pretty clear his politics is much more nuanced than just being a member of the alt-right.
