Wow. Given the well-supported allegations of sexual misconduct, published in reputable newspapers recently, yours is quite the claim. Who is doing this for attention? Do you have any evidence?

I think being effective in ML requires both theory, and practical knowledge you only get by doing.

Andrew Ng's ML course quickly provides a base in theory.

Ideally you couple that with some empirical work.

For that, I think sklearn is the best starting point (assuming you go down the python path). Modify some sample code and make a few simple models. Sklearn provides an excellent framework across all kinds of models (including deep learning if you use say keras.wrappers.scikit_learn), and can play well with pandas.

There are lots of practical concerns that come up that are not covered in intro ML courses.

That's not how triage works. It's literally an algorithm. If the patient doesn't have a pulse, or isn't breathing, they're a black tag. There is a fair bit of wiggle room between the other triage classifications, but dead is dead in triage.

The existence of thoroughly reasoned and empirical fields such as architecture (and is implementation with regards to civic engineering) in the Roman world is an obvious disproof with regards to this sort of Christian-centric worldview being a necessary factor. If they as a thinking culture believed the universe was not consistent and reliable, there is little reason to believe that the lessons learned that made Roman aqueducts stand to this day would have stuck the way they did. And, similarly, this lesson holds for societies not so comfortingly Western; there's little reason to believe that "but gods!" held back the the Chinese or the Indians, either.

The ancient world--not just Rome, but across the board--didn't have what you have chosen to provincially define as "real science" because not having the tools to build the tools to disprove theories tends to put a damper on things. Instead they had sciences based on what they could and did measure: geometry and astronomy are explicitly called out by Vitruvius as being necessary topics for an architect to understand.

I mean, hell. Greek and Roman thinkers (and, indeed, most Roman science was Greek) defined the scientific method as being a deterministic thing, induction via observation, in the first place.
I don't see how why this topic has become all of the sudden a crime where journalists are the judges and not a court of law. It saddens me that society has become so blood hungry again that there are almost seasonal public lynchigs going on. It hurts also the crime itself. In a few weeks nobody is going to care about it anymore as the next whitch is going to be hunted through the village.
Weed is the new craft beer, says former Budweiser exec: 'Ignore at your peril'
For me, I want something that immediately works with local phones and local calling, built in admin panel that shows active calls, transfer calls, build out prompts for conferencing, 1st class iOS / Android support. Web app integration to accept calls there. Database driven. I know these things are possible but it's a ton of work and messing with configs and lacking documentation. My goal is to make express.js but for voip. code it however you want, offer a preset with admin panel, mobile apps, and default middleware for conferencing, whispering, etc. Keeping all setup as code.
Wait until you get to the 300 range and the endgame is really revealed. It'll disappoint big time. Weak.
FYI, most evidence suggests unstructured interviews (talking to the candidates) have very low predictive power about job performance and that work sample tests (take home problems and on-site coding) fare much better in that regard.

There's so much history in between that it's easy to cherry pick your favorites:

* New economic and political philosophies(merchantilism, Machiavelli's works, Magna Carta)

* Theological developments(Islam, Protestantism) and the various resulting conflicts as motivators for modernity

* Access to New World flora and fauna(new crops and livestock) increasing the ability of the nascent industrial state to support large populations at a lower cost

* Refinements to math and science that built on or revised ideas from antiquity(e.g. Newtonian physics, cell theory)

* Advanced craftsmanship in certain crucial precursor technologies like lenses, gears, etc. A lot has been made of how the industrial world started operating on a fast-paced timetable, but the Romans had no pocketwatches.
Peer to peer doesn’t mean every player has full knowledge. A perfectly valid implementation is to mark one player as the “host”, meaning they run a fully authoritative sim, and the other players get treated as clients, and treat it as they would a server. Only the host needs full knowledge in that case.

In reverse, a dedicated server doesn’t mean the clients have zero or limited knowledge. A naive dedicated server can simply send all the positions of every player every frame to each of the clients.

Another point is that in a dedicated server environmenr the server has a reliable connection, with semi-predictable performance characteristics, whereas if you’re using a PvP model, you’re at the mercy of the the host clients connection, and their machine performance. On a console the performance isn’t as big a deal but on a PC, the host could be mining bitcoin at the same time, or just running on a potato.

This is the case right now, but unless you’re buying poorly trimmed bulk outdoor stuff the extracts will inevitably get cheaper. You can get perfectly good THC and CBD from terrible weed and reintroduce a carefully designed blend of terpenes for the best possible flavor.

Eventually the cutting agents will get better too, delivering much nicer experiences for those that don’t want to puff on 70%+ THC extracts.

Well, yes, which is exactly my point. A victim is heavily discentivized from coming forward with an accusation if there's a chance they will be financially ruined from it, even if it's true. This means that wealthy and powerful people with great lawyers are insulated from all but the most clear-cut cases, which is definitely not a desirable system.

There's also the fact that wealthy people can settle a sexual misconduct case even if they did commit it. You shouldn't be able to pay someone $900k to make an accusation go away and then face no criminal repercussions. Even if the victim is ok with that, the perpetrator is still free to harm other victims.
I made my own minor variant of https://sites.google.com/site/steveyegge2/five-essential-pho... but I think it's still good advice in general and I'm fairly happy with how my version of the process has gone, given I only get 1 hour. If I had 90 mins or 2 hours I could be happier. It doesn't matter now though since higher ups at the company are deciding to revamp the process and remove all interviewer decision making from it in terms of what to ask and how to conduct things, which is probably going to be both good and bad.

If you're pretty happy with your routine the next step is review. Look at candidates who passed a phone screen but were later turned down at a followup stage. Is there anything you could change about the phone screen so that the later time and money could be saved? (If you have no one who passed the screen but failed the later stage, sounds like you could just eliminate the later stage altogether.) Another interesting thing to review is candidates who didn't work out after hiring, or didn't work out as much as hoped. Again, anything at the phone screen that could have caught this? Or for those ones you can look at other stages too. One example for me is an intern that didn't work out so well, we only do a couple phone screens for them though, but still the biggest skill that was missing that I realized I could try testing for was the ability to dive into unfamiliar code they didn't write and make a few small changes at various places to fulfill some business goal. Or in other words, filter out people who can only program if they can keep the whole program in their head (which usually only works for larger things if you wrote everything yourself).

Idea: the tax code should simply tax startup equity as normal income, at the time of sale, as much as possible. Tax the difference between value at grant time and value at the time of liquidity as ordinary income. Then tax the difference between that price and actual sale price as capital gains, to avoid penalizing employees from holding liquid stock.

Equity in a startup is effectively deferred cash compensation, in practice. It would be good to eliminate the complexities of option valuation, exercise concerns, and taxation issues from the list of worries of regular employees.

There is a difference between "black tag" and "deceased". It wasn't his job to determine if anyone was deceased. It was his job to determine if they were worth expending any more effort on (given the limited resources). To qualify as a black tag, a patient would need to have no pulse, or to not be breathing (after positioning their airway in an "open" position). Those are both objective findings, not judgement calls.

I just want to reiterate though... This facility (and this doctor specifically) did a fantastic job. I look forward to the more in-depth case studies as an opportunity to further my own skills in EMS.
If you can’t do an experiment in your own environment, you improvise. Humans have done experiments in space that couldn’t be done on earth, so an advanced aquatic species could do experiments above the surface, given enough time, intelligence and inclination.

Intelligence might also take different forms, so an ocean-sized equivalent of a termite colony comprised of specialised molluscs that were collectively intelligent and had selectively bred themselves into specialised roles for millennia could achieve a great deal?
This story is incredible.

The standout's for me were:

* Plan - have a plan in place in advance
* Flow - recognise and shift bottlenecks + understand the impact to the system
* Prioritise - rank what is critical, urgent, or standard - and be ruthless
* Process - simplify the processes to make it more effective and efficient
* Shift - innovate and adapt in the face of changing circumstances.

These sound like no brainers, but reading the story you get a sense of how one individual pushing these forward in a tough situation had an incredibly powerful impact.

How could we apply these powerful lessons more widely?

Back in the days of orkut.com, I do remember Jurvetson making what seemed to me like a huge effort to interact with pretty young women, especially from Estonia. I remember him having a few hundred friends on that service — more than most people there had — a list which included a very large population of pretty, young, single Estonian women.

Keep in mind that I never saw any behavior of his on orkut.com that I would deem harassment, but his social activity there did seem curious to me, considering his married, busy professional status. It was kind of similar to what I saw Marc Canter (of Macromedia fame I guess?) doing there, but again, for neither guy did I witness, or hear, of any harassment going on. it just seemed that what they were doing was merely using their professional status to flirt.

At the time, I figured that their flirting, and their collecting of young female friends, was harmless, and didn't indicate anything untoward going on. Especially since none of my female friends and acquaintances in these guys’ sights intimated to me that anything weird or unwelcome was happening. But now, I'm not so sure, considering how allegations, like the one in the featured article, are bubbling up.
The "contact high" is a real thing, but it is not about becoming intoxicated by the drug itself. It's a psychological phenomenon.

Yeah, but the big key is to keep things instantiated only once (where reasonable). So, if I'm making an RTS, I keep only one list of selected units, and it persists even if I have no units selected. No reallocation or losing the reference means nothing is getting garbage collected.

There are bigger convos to be had about data architecture here, but now's neither time nor place for it.
Shush.

In most of these rapid takedown cases, the accused doesn't contest the allegations (or only sort of does). Easy to overestimate how often this happens.

And the destruction is mutual for the most part. The moment the accusation is made, the accuser will experience some stigma too.

As sad as it may be, hardly frightening.

While it's true that one reason to not use ORMs is performance, I don't think that not using ORMs implies that the application will be harder to maintain. It all depends on the RDBMS and how comfortable you are with mostly-SQL (on the server side) applications.

"Intelligence is the ability to take decisions that lead to maximum utility"

Source? There are many definitions of intelligence, e.g. at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intelligence

For example, a random process can find a configuration that maximizes utility. But that is not considered intelligence.

So... there is more to it.

This is what I love about America: we have periodic, bloodless revolutions that can be initiated and carried out by anyone. The social order keeps changing without the chaos, destruction, and waste of violent upheavals or coups. Isn't this what both Marx and Mao have always wanted? What they both didn't realize was that you need a functioning democracy with freedom of speech (and the Internet) to achieve it.

> Has anyone read a good book on why the Industrial Revolution did happen?

It will not answer your question 100% (imho there's no definitive answer for this question), but I pretty much enjoyed Carlo Cipolla's "Before the Industrial Revolution: European Society and Economy, 1000-1700" (https://www.amazon.com/Before-Industrial-Revolution-European...) where he presents Europe's pre-industrial age economy. By comparing it with what followed after ~1780 you can make yourself a pretty good idea about what might have caused the industrial revolution, or, to put it in better terms, what were the differences between England and the rest of the countries in continental Europe.

As I remember it Italy might have had a good chance of achieving it in the 1500s-early 1600s if it weren't for the disastrous Italian Wars (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Italian_Wars) and then the equally disastrous epidemics that had a huge adverse effect on Northern Italian cities in the first half of the 17th century. For example the 1630-1631 plague epidemics reduced Venice's population by 33% (46,000 deaths out of a total population of 140,000), Milan's by 47% (60,000 deaths out of a total of 130,000), Verona's by 61% (33,000 deaths out of a total of 54,000) and Cremona's by 38% (17,000 out of a total of 37,000). The nascent Northern Italian textile industry basically just collapsed after this, which freed the way for England's textile proto-industry to dominate.

> "Death is terrible, and should be eradicated"

Is death really that terrible? There's plenty of things I'd like to try before I die, and I hope to live until I'm much older, but on the other hand becoming immortal doesn't seem like paradise to me. If I were to suggest what we'd be better off eradicating I'd suggest fear of death over death itself. I'd rather live 100 years free from fear of dying than 1000 years in constant fear of dying.

That's still a client/server model rather than a peer to peer model. A major problem with that model regardless of platform is that it's very disruptive when a player drops, as you have a 1/8 chance of losing your host. This is also not D2's model.

> In reverse, a dedicated server doesn’t mean the clients have zero or limited knowledge. A naive dedicated server can simply send all the positions of every player every frame to each of the clients.

Of course not, but it's possible for a dedicated server to restrict the information it sends. It's not really possible for peer to peer to do the same.
