Having purchased the i1Display 2, the Huey Pro and then the Spyder 4 Elite these devices have a pretty finite lifespan of a couple years at most.

If the manufacturer doesn't discontinue software updates for your latest OS the sensors in the devices themselves seem to use fairly cheap plastic which is susceptible to colouration over time causing the calibration's to drift quite significantly.

It might be more cost effective to just have someone calibrate your equipment for you rather than buying another plastic baubel with questionable longevity.

They used a patented extract of curcumin that's been processed for higher bioavailability so the numbers are not comparable.

There are a lot of patented extracts that have been proven to be absorbed way better than just eating a lot of turmeric which does not result in curcumin reaching the blood or crossing the blood/brain barrier. For example, the extract Longvida uses SLCP and has been proven to be bioavailable to the brain.

That's what I took from it as well. Apparently using your vacation is ok as long as you have a 'good reason' for doing so, and 'good reason' is to be defined by your manager at an arbitrary time. I don't see how this 'fixes' anything.
Wikipedia reports "Curcumin constitutes 3.14% (on average) of powdered turmeric"[1]. And the USDA nutrient database reports 1 tbsp ground turmeric weighs 9.4g [2]

I think that works out to 0.295g or 295mg per tbsp (on average).

> "You run idealized versions of systems in your head."

Yes, they're idealised versions, but that still has value. The point at which the idealised model doesn't match up with reality is the point at which further investigation is required.

It's an effective way of filtering out the parts of the system that you already have a reasonable grasp on so that you can focus on parts that you don't.

On a more general point, almost all models are idealised approximations. The whole idea with modelling a system is to abstract away the rough edges by encapsulating complex behaviour in discrete groups. By working with these simplified models, the idea is that you gain a better intuition of the activity found within a system.

In short, the whole purpose of models is to guide intuition.
There is a category error though I think that gets conflated in these types of evaluations. For example you say "genuinely enjoy" - which makes a distinction between something which is not "genuine." This is the same philosophical distinction between epicureanism and hedonism. The former is claimed to be long term and holistic, the latter claimed as short term and vapid.

However making such distinctions are laced with cultural and other value based backgrounds.

The idea that an "expensive distraction" in the form of a slot machine is not happiness in the same way as Poker typifies this conflation.

You can also try and evaluate it from a utilitarian perspective. Perhaps the enjoyment from hitting a huge jackpot is several magnitudes greater than winning a pot of poker. It's also possible that the sadness from consecutively losing at slots is greater than the sadness from losing a single pot of Poker. Also there is a utility calculation in there for people who like strategy vs people who don't etc...

So I think it's impossible to say that poker (or whatever) is objectively better than slots (or whatever) because it scratches certain itches more or less.

It's also true that you can try and analyze second third etc... order effects of these things and evaluate the impact positively or negatively. Again though, it's a value trap and there is context that may tip the scales one way or another for a given scenario.

One way I think of this is with drug addicts. For a large percentage of hard drug addicts, they will substitute doing eg. Heroin, for being addicted to Caffeine, Cigarettes and support group meetings. Socially we view this as a positive substitution because the user is now using socially acceptable forms of addiction and have lowered their support of an illicit market, are less likely to die from an overdose etc... again though "dying of an overdose" isn't objectively a bad thing, it's a socially and contextually bad thing. Doug Stanhope's mom famously died of a controlled overdose at a "goodbye party" as her way of committing suicide. Everyone at the party knew it was happening and supported it, so the context was different and thus it was acceptable.

I think it's fine to add a value judgment onto how you interpret certain behaviors in the context of your personal code. However we as a species don't have a collectively agreed upon code of ethics. We are generally groomed and forced into the social code that we're brought up in. So to mandate morality is just reinforcing an arbitrary social code. You can try and get evolutionary biology on things, in terms of social codes driving "fitness" etc...however I feel the fitness argument seems to have diverged long ago from a social structure perspective. The most intelligent and "woke" people are having the least amount of babies.

Most people have terrible upload speeds compared to download speeds. In my neighborhood most people (by choice because they aren't tech savy and don't care) have AT&T DSL with 40Mbps download but 2Mbps upload. This means that for a good quality 10 minute video at 720p with a bitrate of 3mbps they would have to seed for significantly longer than viewing just to get a ratio of 1 without degrading downstream performance.

After tinkering with so many blogging platforms and blog generators - from Jekyll and Pelican to Ghost and Hugo - I decided to shutdown the blog part because I realised last year I did more of the tinkering with my blog than actual blogging.

Now I just point my domain to a 4 page website which talks about me in as brief as possible and there's a contact page if someone wants to get in touch with me. It's pure HTML and very simple with extremely little bit of 'handmade' JS and CSS. Hosted on github. No markdown, no front matter. Black and dark grey text on white background.

I really like it now. And if I ever start blogging again I will look for some engine that gives me a very simple way to manage posts, generate links, tags, post archive etc and I might actually want to write posts in plain HTML.

I think it was more of a reactive comment:
It's funny to uphold moral superiority towards a people that have never conquered nor been conquered. I think comparing it to the philosophy of the Nazi's is a bit of a stretch. I do see your point though -- but everything exists on a spectrum. As a dominant superpower it's pretty easy for the west to hold the moral high-horse in things like this but seems hypocritical when you look at the big picture of the results of our dominance (imperialism over the past millennium).

I think China has the ambitions to be a superpower and they have a willingness to cut corners to get to that point. Smart authoritarians are a short-term optimal system of governance and that is the type of rule that China finds itself under currently. My thought is that the cutting of corners is not so much inhumane as it is cutting through bureaucracy, intelligently, done by smart leaders with a definite vision of the future.

Awesome. Really glad there was someone live streaming.

However, I wish the guy didn't yell into the microphone repeatedly over the sound of the firing. I understand there are going to be people nearby yelling, but if anyone can suppress the urge to yell at that moment, it should be the person running the livestream camera.

Anyway other than that, well done. Nice to have some commentary as well going along with it.

What platform are you using to host it yourself?
It's been happening on Eve Online since over a decade ago. Those are Ponzi schemes, and they are not illegal.
I called the SEC last year and selling a coin claiming it'll go up in value without registering as a security is illegal, even if it's a joke. Even if you don't say it'll go up in value but people believe it will, it's illegal.

I'm sure there are legal implications of running a Ponzi scheme too. I'm positive that telling someone about the illegal thing you're doing does not absolve you of responsibility.

Replacing Static SSH Keys with GitHub OAuth
> Apt files are already being checked for tampering. This makes it 'special' compared to regular files being downloaded or content being served.

Only if you see HTTPS as a proposed alternative to / replacement for signing. Signing content is of course a great security measure - doing one does not preclude doing both.

> Moving to HTTPS doesn't add any extra layer of security in that regard.

This is what the article contends. I rebutted this in my comment above. Of course HTTPS should not replace signing, but it does add an extra layer of security.

> Can you articulate what benefits it would bring?

Firstly, privacy. Not bulletproof, but the article contends that it does not provide "meaningful" privacy which is not true. Secondly, an extra line of defense in addition to signing. As others have commented here, signing is not comprehensive in practice on a per-package basis.

> When you ship your software, does your bug tracker show zero bugs?

No, but a bug left open in a bug tracker indicates an intent to fix. This one is being marked WONTFIX, which is not OK.
If the techniques in use put emphasis on correlation over causation then the results will be unfair.

But once you put causation as the primary driver, is machine learning still powerful? My understanding of a causative model is that you start with a model that includes information sourced from real-life observation, then fit parameters from the data. That doesn't sound like machine learning to me.

Isn't the point of the various machine learning methods to find obscure correlations? They will by really effective at picking up proxies for race and gender if race and gender are correlated to a statistic. The 'machine learning' part is irrelevant, the question here is an age-old one related to using data to make decisions.
I am going to assume by 'redundant encoding' you mean a model that takes some non-racial feature like- living in an urban area- and uses that to predict something that is very different across races- say whether or not your loan is approved.

"Definition 2.1 (Equalized odds). We say that a predictor Yhat satisfies equalized odds with respect
to protected attribute A and outcome Y , if Yhat and A are independent conditional on Y ."

This is from page 3. Yhat is the model trained on A (protected class) T (training outcome).

Do you see how if this definition holds there can be absolutely no redundant encoding?
> Is gambling using smart contracts illegal?

In most US jurisdictions, gambling is generally prohibited, though there are generally some specific exceptions (often with licensing requirements). So...probably. But this seems to be illegal independently of gambling laws.

Pyramid schemes that aren't Ponzi schemes are also illegal; while it's called PonziCoin, it's actually more of a (passive) pyramid scheme.

A key quote from the article "And given that some quantum gravity frameworks predict that effects should be showing up at that point, perhaps those models are simply wrong, and there is no changing speed of light."

AFAIK, later experiments have even lowered the threshold, making LQG less and less likely, in the same way the LHC results have pushed back supersymmetry arguments by invalidating some versions predictions.

I'm honored that you would respond to my comment! I meant that in no way as a dig against Gensim. Really I'm referring more to the pythonic environment itself - the larger an NLP application grows within Python, the more overhead baggage it picks up (due to logic written in Python - plus Cython is far from a silver bullet). That is not to mention all the difficulties involved in parallelization within a Python environment.

For what it's worth, when I was at a large company recently, I did use Gensim too - I was originally referring more to the case where you take a prototype for an NLP application and ask "ok, how do we scale this across millions of users"
I came late to the fb quitting game - quit Xmas 2016 and while I am a pretty boringly stable person, my mental health has been greatly improved since I've been off. I didn't realise how it was affecting me at the time but it made me anxious, needy, boastful and shallow in my friendships.

Since leaving I actually talk with friends a lot more, and when I wonder how an old friend is doing I reach out or try and meet up. Much better than just stalking their fb profile and offering a like or two.

Fresh turmeric root cost dollars, find a local asian grocery store and make your own. It's great as a tea.

That has its own set of problems, namely data sparsity and resulting in high dimensionality vectors, although like you say does give you a little bit of context. I'm not sure that bag of anything is a good solution.
Personal anecdote: was born and brought up in south India and my grandma used to make me drink turmeric + ground black pepper milk every night. It was a standard practice to serve it with black pepper, even though I’m sure they didn’t really know about bioavailability. Kids were forced to drink it when they have the flu.

Used to hate it as a kid, but of late I’ve been looking to replace one coffee/tea with turmeric milk.
A Ponzi scheme cannot be transparent; if it's transparent, it's probably a pyramid scheme. A Ponzi is something where the victims are duped into believing there is something else being invested in, while early entrants are paid with funds from later entrants; a pyramid scheme is where the early entrants know their money comes from later
entrants (and usually, though this isn't critical, are actively involved in recruiting.)
I think you are overstating the purpose of machine learning quite a bit.

What machine learning does is function fitting, no more, no less. Whether this is causal, correlative, obvious, or obscure is irrelevant to the algorithm.

All it does is try to find parameters within a model function, which provide the best predictive power.
Of course. They could be many other things as well. The question is, what would you bet on, if you didn't want to lose money?
