This is what you always hear from biomed/psych/etc. It simply is not important to get details right. Misinterpret the results of your analysis (p-values), use the wrong cell lines, measure the wrong thing, etc. It rarely seems to affect the conclusions.

If anyone who points out errors is being pedantic, it makes you wonder about the point of doing all that. Just come up with an idea A, say "heads = conclusion A", "tails = conclusion not A", and flip a coin.
Your salary is, but if anonymised data it need not reveal your salary.

When you say "mandatory" do you mean,

1. "think of it as a vaccine you should definitely get"

or

2. "the government should force you to allow this to be injected into your body whether you want it or not"

or something else? I agree with you on the former, not sure I do on the latter.
There's a Dota 2 bot by OpenAI that played games with itself and managed to beat a lot of pros in the scene. It's still SF mid only no runes and some restricted items, but it shows that there is also potential for Starcraft.

How is this argument materially different from Pascal's Wager? It is entirely the same structure:

P: (cryonics works | God is real)
If !P and you don't play along, no outcome
If P and you don't play along, "bad" outcome
If !P and you do play along, no outcome
If P and you do play along, "good" outcome

∴ You are dumb not to play along, just in case.

This seems like a really great way to ensure you never retain any decent employees ever. Who would stick around under an employer who would treat an employee like this, even if they had been totally honest about salary history?
The US has a trade imbalance with Mexico of about -$6B per month. It has a trade imbalance with China of about -$35B per month. The trade deficit with Canada is often below $1B and has flicked to a trade surplus a number of times.

The trade deficit with Mexico is a fluctuation amount in the trade deficit with China.

So it's somewhat incredible that people can continue this "just renegotiate NAFTA" farce. Mexico isn't "the problem", if you believe that balanced trade is a problem.

Jobs didn't go to Mexico. They went to China and automation, and when you were lucky the small remainder went to Mexico.

There's a world of difference between walking 15 minutes and driving 15 minutes, and overall having people walk usually makes for a better overall urban environment.

You wouldn't want to walk along a highway, but because everyone drives in major US cities, even downtown has highway-sized roads.

I'm not super for sleeping in cars, but I already pay a space tax for my living quarters to have walkability (even if I end up taking the train)
Interesting, a user in another part of the thread also mentioned that he still has the bug problem with his Jeep. Seems like it could actually be a question of aerodynamics.

There is definitely an increased risk of lawsuits or robbery. However it has to be weigh in to the expectancy of a wage increase.

You have already decided to not pay for extra security by being in a poorer neihborhood, so we know safety is negotiable. What is that price to you? What if wage transparency increased your salary 10%?

Thanks for your blog post!

Are you familiar with http://www.offconvex.org/2016/07/10/embeddingspolysemy/?

I read a blog post maybe a year ago that explained word embeddings under an 'atom interpretation', in which word embeddings are really sparse combinations of 'atoms' (I don't really remember more than that). It was very interesting, but then I forgot about it. Trying to find the post again I only came up with the above paper, which is probably the same idea, but it wasn't what I originally read. Wish I could find it.

Because it means that some RSA keys may be weaker than others. Without diving too far into the mathematics of it, the RSA cryptosystem (and indeed, many asymmetric-key cryptosystems) is based on the notion that multiplying two gigantic prime numbers together to get another gigantic non-prime number is easy; but taking a gigantic non-prime number and figuring out which two prime numbers were multiplied together is incredibly hard. This conjecture, if true, means that for some gigantic non-prime numbers, it is easier than expected (even if only slightly so) to figure out which two prime numbers were used.

That's not quite what they're talking about WRT zero human knowledge.

The problem is that there's no intrinsic scoring system for Go, nothing specific to maximize, so it's difficult to tell a computer whether a given outcome is "good" or "bad". So early versions of AlphaGo used a collection of human-played Go games to get an idea of what constitutes "good" and what is "bad", so it can then train its model to predict whether a move will make things better or worse.

This new system forgoes that step, and instead has the model play itself starting at random and looking for patterns that end up winning games. It's as if you gave the rules to the game of Go to a culture that's never heard of it before, and they evolved their own play style entirely in isolation.

Their result is a model that is better than the one that was developed with human influence, and that's the interesting bit.
Considering your anecdote about professors who need real chalk on their hand, I wonder if this is a generational thing. Do many people born in the 90s and later still prefer reading from paper and handwriting (regardless of surface)?

FWIW, since I have low vision (from birth), the notion of handwriting being desirable is utterly foreign to me. I could do handwriting, slowly and tediously, but I was happy to do my homework (and later in-class note-taking) on a computer as soon as I could.
What's the limit of basic vs. applied research?

AT&T has 8 Nobel prizes under its belt. At least three are fundamental science:

1937: Clinton J. Davisson shared the Nobel Prize in Physics for demonstrating the wave nature of matter.

1978: Arno A. Penzias and Robert W. Wilson shared the Nobel Prize in Physics. Penzias and Wilson were cited for their discovering cosmic microwave background radiation, a nearly uniform glow that fills the Universe in the microwave band of the radio spectrum.

1998: Horst Störmer, Robert Laughlin, and Daniel Tsui, were awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics for discovering and explaining the fractional quantum Hall effect.

The positive statement is that transparent pricing is going to raise wages. There's little doubt about that. I dont know what magintude it could be, but it might end up being significant.

And if it is significant, it would probably be worth a lot more than the security cost. Its economically senseless to reject a better job position for the fear that someone might notice your increased income and rob you. For the vast majority of people that would be utterly ridicolous.
They have $200M because people donated. The ICO is described as a fundraiser, not an investment, because it reduces liability and opportunity for government intervention. In exchange for "donation" you get XTZ. Presumably, you expect that XTZ to grow in value to make a net profit.

The upshot is that its a word that is synonymous with investment, but requires less responsibility. On the flipside, they could disappear and your are out of luck because the government won't regulate donations as carefully as securities.
Funny timing, I was speaking earlier today with a startup CTO who was annoyed with various HTTPS problems. Put simply, businesses don't want to deal with this stuff. That means they'll pay for it, that's an opportunity for someone.

I was an ECE and now regret not taking Intro To Functional Programming (I almost typed 150 by instinct). I was put off by the horror stories, and perhaps also by a lab I saw once that was basically a longform story about "pleasing Senpai".

My iteration of Principles of Imperative Computation was... something. I liked the course but the professors who ran it that semester were really unpleasant. They accused a friend of mine for cheating when she pointed out an obvious mistake in someone's code during office hours when the line for TA help was basically on two whiteboards. She became a TA the following semester. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
When things will start getting interesting is when we figure out how to get move simulation and search into the network itself, rather than programming that on the outside. As far as I know, no-one has even the faintest idea of how to do that. We have an existence proof that this should be possible.

The networks are great at perception and snap-prediction. Anything a human can do in 200ms is fair game. And with clever engineering, we can make magic happen by iterating or integrating those things.

But it's after that first 200ms that humans get really intelligent. When we can come up with an architecture that lets the networks themselves start simulating possibilities, backtracking, deciding when to answer now or to think more -- when the network owns the loop -- then it will get interesting.
I agree with you in principle. But, needless to say, most developers don't design for accessibility above all else. We who care about accessibility need to meet developers and designers where they are, helping them incorporate accessibility into the way they're already building the UI or content, rather than tell them they need to do it a completely different way.
Overall I would take that study very lightly. They basically took a cohort of student that did not have to read anything meaningful until then. In highschool they may have had some text and some work to do on a laptop, but the bulk of it was paper based. They were also trained to highlight sentences instead of taking meaningful notes.

Train the next generation to mostly use digital and that small study will become a time capsule, which would incidentally be a better outcome that what it is now, i.e. an attempt to generalize a conclusion based on an oversimplistic experimental setup.
Yes, but I don't think you understand my point:

Mexico having a VAT does not do this. The US not having a VAT does not do this. The results of the US adding a VAT would not do this. VATs do not work the way you think they do.

> The discussion isn't about boosting GDP, but about where manufacturing labor takes place.

Where manufacturing labor takes place is not impacted by who does and does not have a VAT.

Surely there’s some form of placeholder token for those who bought into the ICO, even if it’s not exchangeable? Otherwise what’s the point?
I think you are incorrect about how much the Breitman's would make from the ICO. The Breitman's company DLS would get 8.5% of the ICO funds once the main net launches and then their company would also get 10% of the genesis block, but that vests over four years.

So 8.5% of $232 million would be about $20 million and it's hard to say what 10% of the genesis block would be worth over the course vesting. Below are the details about the payments to the Breitmans.

Payment Structure and Contrast to Common fundraising practices
It has become common in fundraisers, or in token generation events (TGEs) for founders of entities selling tokens to reward themselves, in addition to their token allocation, via salaries with little or no accountability and oversight and in a manner that doesn’t reflect the viability of their product.

In contrast, payments to DLS are contractually prescribed via the following criteria, which are being shared publicly and in advance of the fundraiser:

No payment will be made unless and until the terms in the preceding section of this document have been met.
Once met, DLS’ shareholders will receive 8.5% of the contributions made during the fundraiser.
In addition, DLS’ shareholders will receive a 10% allocation of the tokens in the genesis block, placed in a smart contract that will vest monthly over a period of 48 months.
These criteria represent a far more transparent and equitable reflection of the reality of the transaction.
In early July, the Tezos foundation ran a fundraiser to fund the project's development (R&D, Bizdev, etc.). At the time it did not have funding (or very little). Its current treasury comes from that fundraiser.

It is an "ICO" because in exchange of your donation, the foundation will recommend a token allocation for you in the genesis block. Nothing prevents anyone to create a "concurrent" genesis block with different allocations though. It's just that the chances are people are going to follow the one the foundation recommends.

So, in that sense... it's an ICO. Although not quite like an ERC20 token sale.
To be fair, even local mom and pop stores still purchased the majority of the supplies they sold from out of town. Few cities could produce all of the goods, or even the majority of the goods needed on their own. So yes, DG takes some of the profits, but there are local employees making money to then spend in the local economy.
Looking at all these editors makes me feel good about having chosen mobiledoc 18 months ago for my ember app.

I don't know if mobiledoc pioneered this approach of separating the data model but it was the first time I saw it and it felt right.

Glad to see so many editors do this now.
Does it really take 232M to make a formally verifiable smart contract language?
That's what the policy is. Given a board state, the policy gives you a distribution over all available moves.

It still uses contenteditable, though, like Quill and ProseMirror, which also use a custom data model and ops. It sounds like CKEditor has caught up to have this kind of architecture too. Not to trivialize this accomplishment. All three are impressive feats of engineering and design.

They could be selling the data too. A lot of major corporations in my country seem to collecting and selling user data.
This might not apply to GP if they're not in an incorporated area, but in cities, the wasps should tell that to city councils, which tend to have established rules regarding height of lawns and weeds and such.

Good luck talking to them about it; you'll be labelled a green wacko one step removed from eco-fanatics who firebomb SUV dealerships. If you don't want or like proper suburban manicured lawns, maybe you shouldn't live around everyone else who does want them, would be their attitude.

Even if you dodge that hurdle by finding stuff that doesn't need mowing or edging, your neighbors are going to think you're crazy if your yard is all monkey grass or vines or cacti.
People change, and so do its companies (or at least, their management).

Looking from a non-Windows-user perspective, in the last couple of years: VSCode is now a thing, .NET is open sourced, they've started financially supporting organization that I like (like OSI and the Linux foundation), Powershell is now available on my platform, and, if I ever decide to switch back to Microsoft's technologies (highly unlikely), I have Windows Subsystem for Linux and I'll be able to run Linux servers on Azure.

As a non-Windows user, I'm totally happy with this new Microsoft.

Looking great for a first release! The demo is smooth, well done.

Seems like there's a good framework in place to catch up to the competition. I'd switch away from TinyMCE or Summernote if there was a component/widget system that worked well. Writing custom behavior for any HTML editor is painful, and none of them have a big use case in mind: custom layouts.

SiteOrigin's Page Builder for WordPress is cool:

I wanted something (Free or paid) like what's shown in the above video, that's independent of WordPress. Couldn't find a darn single one, if you can believe it. I'm stuck with Summernote + workarounds to get something similar for a Laravel project of mine.
TiDB doesn't want to solve all the problems, no silver bullet, right? And I think it's all about workload, some analytical workload requires CPU/Network resource instead of I/O, and OLAP workload isn't that frequently. Storage layer and computing layer are separated in TiDB stack, I think it's possible for some workload.
Wouldn't it depend on what you were doing? Pushing paper probably feels pretty shitty. Actually cleaning up a forest in California to prevent another fire probably feels pretty good. We don't make people work hard any more because that's degrading? Not really sure why that is. We had work programs for those unemployed. They paid ok. They provided real benefit for the country. For some reason we don't go back this.

OK, but very few primes satisfy this hypothesis, so why's it a big deal? Is some generalization of the conjecture conjectured?
This is false. Sometimes you have limited data for your task and initializing from pretrained embeddings boosts performance.
If it's because of DRM, it's the fault of Netflix. No one stops them releasing their video DRM-free.

It's not the first time DRM hampers performance and thus degrades usability. It's by definition an anti-feature.
But salaries are not really private. The company has salaries. The state often makes their salaries public.
The IRS has that information. Credit agencies do, etc.

The state has gained an absolute right to know your wage, which one could argue that abolishes the private nature of that information, much like your gender, or your face.
> If we stick to a by-the- and for-the-people kind of ethos, then adjusting how the government manages all this stuff it's creating on their behalf in order to increase the prosperity of the lower classes at some cost to the higher is entirely sensible and just.

That kinda flies in the face of one of the main purposes of society I pointed out, though - protection of property. I'm not saying it's wrong, though.

You mention 'if inequality additionally...' that doesn't mean inequality is bad on its own merits. Do you believe inequality is bad on its own merits?

While those two you listed are alternatives, they are not the only alternatives. Hell, you didn't even point out the 'we can do nothing and keep things as they are' option.
> It's also a computationally insane assertion, if it were true then markets are capable of computing NP in P

Unless I missed it, they don't assert that markets are optimal, which seems to be what you're saying, but merely efficient and thus, it would be hard (but possible) to do better.
I think Python is the worst-documented large language I use.
