One asked: “Why are we not allowed to sit when it is quiet and not busy? We are human beings, not slaves and animals.”

That’s because Amazon would much rather have robots instead of human beings. In the meantime, it is falling back on humans, but still expecting them to behave as robots.
If you have an illness, who’s opinion would you like to hear most? That of a random internet person or that of a medical professional?

the eating less part is more important (for weight loss) than the moving more part, especially because people doing exercise for weight loss often overestimate how many calories the exercise is burning, and underestimate how many calories are in food.

I can’t think of any PaaS, but for small group streaming there’s a number of software out there that has had this capability for a long time,l. I remember playing with Flash Media Server 10+ years ago that did exactly that.

For the higher scale video I think most solutions are proprietary - especially as most make use of CDNs and other globally deployed infrastructure. However I’ve seen startups do mass scale live streaming at pretty low latency (8 - 16) seconds by just transcoding and serving clips off of S3
Hmm, I use Brave browser on my phone, but it's still complaining about not having MetaMask. I guess it's only included in the desktop version?
This isn't your standard MAB or GP hyperparameter optimization; those typically require you to train each NN to convergence before further exploration is done (ie each 'round' is training a NN). Skimming the paper, OP is closer to freeze-thaw or reversible backpropagation hyperparameter optimization, or Net2Net meta-RL: the hyperparameter optimization is monitoring the loss curve of each trained NN, switching between them based on promisingess like in freeze-thaw, but also switching hyperparameters on the fly and reusing the trained weights to avoid starting from scratch, Net2Net style. Each NN being trained is periodically updated to either clone & tweak a new hyperparameter set to continue training the current NN's parameters, or clone & tweak the best NN's parameters while keeping the old hyperparameters. (They only clone the full NN, so they can't do architecture search, but there's no reason they couldn't use Net2Net or other recent approaches which similarly recycle the trained weights to avoid the huge computational burden of training from scratch.)

This job sounds shitty but have you ever spoken to someone in a domestic role? A postal employee? A trucker? A janitor at your office building? Kitchen staff at a restaurant who do not even have time to take a piss without dropping the ball, let alone timed pee breaks? Lots of jobs are hard. Extremely hard. And often, jobs that are very very hard pay hardly anything. There is a two-way transaction happening here, though - you pick a job that you are qualified for, and you work at it in exchange for money. And if it's not worth the money to you, you find a different job that you're qualified for. As long as people are willing to do this job for this amount of money, it will probably not get better unfortunately. And as companies get bigger, they always morally regress to the mean. Instead of going after companies (playing whack-a-mole), I think empowering people to learn employable skills is a better investment.

Also I'm going to remember the fuss about Amazon when their warehouses are 100% robotic, and everyone is mad that it's not creating enough jobs.
Why should technology continue to feed you though? Maybe it's more efficient to let you starve. This isn't a theoretical, what-would-a-currently-uninvented-AI-decide-to-do kind of question. Just look at what corporations do now. It's all about dollars and cents. Non-human entities don't care about what's right for humans. Even ones that are mostly composed of humans.

The title is a little bit mis-leading. The last line in the article:

“But the danger is this would give people an incentive to go the SEC rather than to someone in their company. That’s the bad news. Every company wants people to report internally so they can fix things quickly.”

suggests that textualism would result in employees reporting problems/misconduct to the SEC rather than to the company, which I think most companies would consider a less desirable outcome.

This manages to get lost in its own trees. From a reductionist perspective:

- Intelligence greater than human is possible

- Intelligence is the operation of a machine; it can be reverse engineered

- Intelligence can be built

- Better intelligences will be better at improving the state of the art in building better, more cost-effective intelligences

Intelligence explosion on some timescale will result the moment you can emulate a human brain, coupled with a continued increase in processing power per unit cost. Massive parallelism to start with, followed by some process to produce smarter intelligences.

All arguments against this sound somewhat silly, as they have to refute one of the hard to refute points above. Do we live in a universe in which, somehow, we can't emulate humans in silico, or we can't advance any further towards the limits of computation, or N intelligences of capacity X when it comes to building better intelligences cannot reverse engineer and tinker themselves to build an intelligence of capacity X+1 at building better intelligences? All of these seem pretty unlikely on the face of it.

I don't understand how that follows. Why wouldn't we notice when good professors deviate from the norm?

Yep, tried this recently with closed loop weight control. After about 8-10kg (from 116kg) lost it's almost impossible to keep on going, you can't control yourself enough to not eat.

Chemical reactions undergo the same mass loss as nuclear reactions. A fat molecule weighs very slightly more than the sum of it's parts. The resulting water and carbon dioxide products will weigh less than the reactants by exactly the amount of energy released. It's just much more difficult to notice because the amount of energy released is as much less.

Realizing that they're just people like you or me or anyone else is terrifying, because it means we all potentially have these impulses.

You make a good point that landlords will increase their rent to eat up the majority of the basic income increase and that's a real concern. I'm not sure what can be done about that.

What I think might be a positive aspect of basic income is that we can expect everyone to have more money, so we can expect them to spend some of that money to improve their situation. The sanitation issue in this trailer park is one example I thought of as the story was posted recently. In my opinion, when people are at a subsistence level they can't invest in improving their situation in a meaningful way. If employment isn't growing in their location there's no way to increase their income without basic income. Tax breaks will not help them as their income is already so minimal.
That's great for some situations (like some college lectures or a daily scrum meeting) but simply doesn't fly in others. At my job, for example, missing a single detail in one of our interviews can be the difference between the success and complete failure of a project. Retaining just "a lot more" of the information isn't enough, you must retain (or record) all of the information. In such situations, note taking is mandatory.

Those are the same situations that encourage the "transcription" style of notes though, which as discussed above, presents its own problems. It's all about finding a balance.

> Our environment, which determines how our intelligence manifests itself, puts a hard limit on what we can do with our brains — on how intelligent we can grow up to be, on how effectively we can leverage the intelligence that we develop, on what problems we can solve.

Consider internet to be the "new" environment, full of highly complex social networks, millions of applications to interact with etc. Our brains are way too limited to be able to deal with it. There's an opportunity for a much more powerful intelligence to arise that CAN effectively process that volume of data and appear to be a lot more intelligent in that particular context.
If you already know the material, what's the point of attending the lecture?
Their point, which I agree is fairly unclear, is that the fat is not converted to energy, it's converted to CO₂ and water. That conversion releases energy, which you then use to move, but the total mass of the process is constant (conserved).
Have you tried it? I did, it's easier only for some time. After you lose about 6-7% of your body weight it's very hard to eat less, your whole behaviour changes.
People read about bitcoin hitting new all time highs over the weekend, today their bank transfers to exchanges started to clear. So, what wasnt priced in was all the new money.

As an European, reading things like these never ceases to amuse me, both the salaries that engineers earn and the crazy high cost of living to go with it. In Germany $120k is the salary of your average successful internet startup CEO and generally speaking an outrageous amount of money, in the Bay Area is about enough to get by, pay rent and save. The disconnect is astounding. And it's not like the quality of life in the Bay Area is ten times greater than in the top cities of Europe either, not to my knowledge anyway.
The problem with Ingress "lagging" is that it was designed to be a lowest-common-denominator API - it only absorbs logic that exists in the majority of realistic implementations. For better or worse, cloud LBs are vastly more limited in feature-set than Nginx or Envoy, so Ingress is too.

Migrate Delimited Files from Amazon S3 to a DynamoDB NoSQL Table Using AWS DMS
Because professional is a somewhat nebulous term when it comes to finance.

I do think that there are some firms, who cater to mostly very wealthy clients, who can consistently beat the market, or at least have a good chance of finding some niche or anomaly every few years for a huge jackpot such that their overall average is higher than the indexes.

The problem is that most of us won't have access to these people.

Instead, our professional is going to be the typical financial planner who has far less of an understanding of math than even the typical CS / engineer grad, and is basically a commissioned sales person who will take 5% off the top, plus another 2% a year - all for basically investing it in the same index funds you can now buy yourself with a Schwab or Vanguard account.

The real value of a teacher in the same room is for immediate feedback. I'm of the opinion that lectures should be replaced with active study sessions where the teacher(s) walk the class through problems and/or help individual students through gaps in their knowledge.

Lectures can be asynchronous; rather than the teacher reinventing the wheel, let them assign students to watch the best lectures available online.

Reverse the current model, do most homework at school, and watch the lectures at home.

It's stunning that anyone who has witnessed per asset class appreciation (consider wages an asset class as well) since the GFC could believe what you said.

Inflation obviously helps those in debt but QE didn't inflate anything except risky asset classes objectively held by the wealthy. Even by the feds own studies & public communications by the chair woman inflation continues to remain "subdued" almost 10 years after.

Wages have stagnated & only recently picked up, GDP has been the lowest post-recovery ever, net household debt is again at new highs, interest rates at forever in the history of human civilization lows. Meanwhile every single risk seeking asset class primarily owned by the wealthy has appreciated to levels last seen at prior bubble peaks.

QE helps the rich & if it helps anybody else it's an accident. Sadly by the time non-rich households are able to participate in risk seeking asset classes they are so expensive that when objectively measured against historical readings future returns are flat to negative. Uncle Warren said "the fool does in the end what the wise man did in the beginning" & QE will guarantee the non-rich fall into the same foolish traps.

Where internal reporting works is when you have a rather large organization and it's some mid-level person in the wrong. Some Multi-Billion-Dollar corporation for example, and some mid-level VP doing something worth reporting. Often they'll have an official part of their legal team that's isolated from any repercussions of the mid-level VP that can deal with them and clean up the situation quietly, which is good for the company and good for the whistleblower, and bad for the mid-level VP.
The water is the vast majority of the overnight weight loss. pCO2 of 40 mmHg is normal. Resting tidal volume is 500-600 mL, and a breathing rate of 12-14 (officially 10-20, but really, more like 12-14). I'll let someone calculate the mass of CO2 exhaled in 8 hours.

"Paying people to do nothing"

I think you have the wrong concept in your head. You've missed other portions of the larger economic system, by focusing on an individual atomic result as a platonic hypothesis of personal meaning. The presumed psychological effect, rather than broader the aggregate realities.

As easily as one might complain of rewarding mediocrity and paying into an unredeeming, bottomless void that bears no fruit, another might complain that a civilization founded on the threat of starvation and death by exposure isn't very civilized at all.

Take these two extremes on their own, and it's pretty easy to understand that a wide, ignored middle-ground exists, that rhetoric neglects. On one hand, a person is met by an offer to participate in society, in exchange for the obvious benefits society has to offer. On the other hand, stepping off the treadmill for too long risks permanent demotion, and a life sentence of perhaps animalistic subsistence, pan-handling, living off stolen cat food in a shanty town under a bridge, or worse, maybe suicide and unspoken realities in between.
> The goal is to eat less because you don't feel hungry, not despite feeling hungry. Very few have the willpower to literally starve themselves.

I'm not sure if I understand this correctly, but isn't this a bad practice? I mean, I can agree with the sentiment of eating too many times per day. E.g. if you tend to eat snacks and then soon after a real meal, then you should definitely use your willpower to just skip the snacks before your upcoming meal.

But as far as I know, if you don't exercise and instead just starve yourself, the body first burns through your muscles before it gets to fat. If that's so, then some exercise is crucial to upkeep your muscles even while on a calory deficiency.
I think the bigger risk is internal strife. When half or your citizens hate the other half, that's a recipe for disaster.

It's not about being willing, people literally have no choice. It's either starve and be homeless or work this really shitty job.
