That's what the cops tell judges - and sometimes use that inaccurate assertion to lock up innocent people for a decade...

"On May 28th, Lisa Marie Roberts, of Portland, Oregon, was released from prison after serving nine and a half years for a murder she didn’t commit. A key piece of overturned evidence was cell-phone records that allegedly put her at the scene."

If it's as accurate and straight forward as law enforcement tell us - how did _that_ happen?
It's in the article you linked to, but I suppose Google expects everyone to use their Personal Blocklist Chrome extension now:

From over here in Asia, your comments are both non-empathatic and dangerous.

Best of luck with your "non-empathy" approach, but I suspect it will make things worse for you.
I’m seeing a lot of comments here agreeing that it’s the fees, but I wonder how many consider that checking bags adds at least 20 minutes of walking to & waiting at the claim. If I can manage it, I’ll always opt to carry my bags, fees or not.
The tax revenue numbers here seem like they would exclude recreational marijuana but would include medical marijuana. Unless you think legalization alone will increase SF-local sales by like $1 billion/annually (that's a lot of weed! and most of that will be in cash, making it harder) it's hard to see it making a big difference.

I didn't see that much marijuana being consumed when I was there last week, and the one recreational dispensary I went to was selling fairly small quantities in dollar terms... (I bought $17 of edibles, so I'm afraid I didn't help much in plugging the SF deficit.)
Is it for some reason not a viable solution to just stop following people who shitpost? Or does Twitter push random users' posts at you? I ask because I've been circling around Twitter for a month or so, but if you can't isolate yourself from public tweets, I'm definitely not going to jump in.
> I see a lot of HIToolbox calls, which is what AppKit uses internally to draw.

sure, but that's not the same as using a NSComboBox directly, and that's not using Apple's layout engine (based on cassowary, wasn't it) either. Not that I think that this is a bad solution : it allows software with a strong identity to have fairly custom UIs that are consistent across platforms.
Not quite. Your points are very valid, but you need to compare it with the current system. The new system of oligarchs comes with new constraints. The initial creators in some ways deserve to be significantly rewarded for such an innovation, as the new constraints are that supply is limited, thereby the rising tide lifts all boats of participants. Proof of Stake does this but takes away a significant randomness in distribution and guarantees that the majority is held initially by one authority - this is not guaranteed at all with POW, and if not premined, then even better.

Your other crticism of maximalists fearing an alternative, this is really just BS. I will gladly tell you (as many maximalists will) that Monero is actually better on most fronts that Bitcoin tries to win on. Scalability is really the only thing it leads on, and this is not out of the realms of possibility for Monero. So you can choose your oligarchs, and you can choose how they are constrained. Hopefully your community will grow such that you all benefit.

I'm not sure how you could call that generous give the col of SF. Do we just expect government employees to not be able to live in the city they work?
That's not the only logical conclusion one can draw: Consciousness could be an emergent phenomenon requiring a certain amount of complexity that an individual rock lacks.
Compare your straw man to a CEO, who’s responsible for 10,000 families being able to pay their bills and feed themselves. All you’re describing is being lower down a hierarchy, which naturally tends to come with poor stress management and high sensitivity to negative emotions.

You also seem to be quite ignorant to what a CEO does, and the stakes of the position. Failure for a CEO can end your career, regardless of whether you’ve already established yourself as entirely financially independent. It is also by definition the position of greatest responsibility in a company. There is nobody in a company that faces greater pressure to perform.

If you fail at your job, it’s really unlikely that your failure will be dissected in the news paper for everyone to see. You could get fired and go out and get a new job. For a disgraced CEO, this is usually not an option. We could all point out a couple of examples of revolving door CEOs, but for most executives, this isn’t a career path or even an option.
I do in fact have a horse in this race as an Embedded developer, but I don't really ascribe worthiness of exclusive use of the term to any particular side. Theyre all just using a term that predates all of their industries, so this isn't a thing to pick or defend sides on, in my opinion. I simply lament the inability to be specific and comprehensive. It's not like "Embedded" is even a hot buzzword or has anything resembling unique brand recognition.
Why is this a surprise? CGI is a great model for server programming. Lambda provides the same model packaged in a way that is enormously more convenient and powerful.

When I read the comment about energy storage, I was thinking for longer term backup power of greater than 60 seconds of runtime.

You are correct, that it takes some time, usually about 10 seconds for a diesel generator to come online and provide the power. That power gap is traditionally provided by a UPS (which can be chemical (battery), kinetic (flywheel), or some other short term power supply).

Again, my interest is diesel alternatives that are being developed and deployed in large scale datacenters.

I used to work at a datacenter that had all the usual elements. ATS, UPS, Caterpillar genset. It's all quite interesting.

I frankly don't use twitter much anyway... I mostly post things that I like, and in the end use my own account to re-find stuff I posted later... it's a bad bookmark manager is how I use it, but at least then other people might find it useful to.
> finding these accounts is pretty easy, he used advanced google search and google reverse image search

All Twitter has to do is develop the most intelligent software ever created and make sure it keeps inching towards generalized AI over time.
There are many kinds of eggs that are more ethical than the cheapest eggs.

For instance: free range eggs as well as other kinds of cage-free eggs which involve more confinement than free range but less than battery hens.

Egg-laying chickens are also a good agriculture project if you have much space at all. It is totally possible in a light urban environment, even if the neighbors don't like the noise, smells, etc. The taste of your own eggs from chickens that eat grass, weed seeds, bugs, worms, etc. puts supermarket eggs to shame.
Privilege schemes set everyone against whichever groups are perceived to be getting better treatment. If you want to make a kid hated, treat him better than his friends for no reason...
> people of color I know are worried about being in the wrong town after dark

Is it really more dangerous to be black and in the wrong place than to be white and in the wrong place? I'm not from your country but this is certainly not the impression one gets; I do know a white guy from Baltimore who would disagree, anyway...
I am of the opinion they will keep pushing base models off as they do not want to make them. What I do not understand is how they let defective cars get into the hands of some press people. I have seen more than one newspaper review that highlighted all sorts of issues.

do they think they are still immune? 300-400k people money down sounds awesome until your realize the big auto makers usually have more than one line that does that per year.

I still think the really bad bet was not having the in depth prototyping that they openly mocked that other manufacturers have just to prevent such assembly line issues

Oh and w3schools.com needs to go below MDN because it's less informative.

I wouldn't call it shitposting but snarky identity-politics (all left, right, up and down) driven replies/tweet storms (which generally have nothing to do with the original post) are why I only look at "what you've missed" every few days on Twitter.
Is that farfetched? Does Google not have the engineering resources to detect the image canonical source (a la Tin Eye) and point to that instead?

I find that hard to believe considering the resources they’ve put into Content ID at YouTube for copyright infringement identification and takedowns.

While they're at it please remove Yelp. The page that comes up on mobile does not appear to be the one Google indexes. It only shows the first sentence of a few reviews. Clicking Read More or More Reviews bounces you straight to the Google Play Store to install the Yelp app.
The article claims that the animals were not exposed to selection based on their domesticity, but it includes this line "These animals are regularly provided with food and water, and investigated by the researchers."

It strikes me that that situation represents a selection pressure, because mice that are more afraid of humans, are likely to avoid a place where they are regularly present, and thus lose the advantage of the risk-free meal ticket these particular humans are providing.
That first episode should be required viewing (repeatedly!) by all architects, physical or software. Geeze.
Hypocritical news from twitter.
I use containers (Docker for Windows|Mac) to create my lambda zip for dist, isn't that close enough? lol.
I wish you were correct. However there seems to be plenty of evidence that shows the State does what it wants to do, regardless of the opinion of the people. One example would be Obama promising to close Gitmo, and he was elected with a plurality ; yet Gitmo was never closed.
I think he's referring to gargling. I've gotten the same question.

An attempt to upgrade to Webpack 4
If a neural network has let's say 50 million parameters, it doesn't matter if you can trace any of the calculations, you're never going to actually understand how the model operates.

Sometimes it's possible to extract a sort of conceptual understanding in some cases, eg you might say that this layer performs edge detection or whatever. But that's not much of an explanation.

They do it because it works. You trust your Uber driver to get you to your destination even though you have no idea how his neurons do it. People are going to trust machine intelligence in the same way.
Perhaps, but at least they don't require you to signup just to view a stupid image.
There is a difference between a pension that allows you to live in SF and a crazy generous pension (that encourages gaming the system) that is far more extravagant than anything you'd find in the private sector (who have been moving away from pensions generally).
"Using the official numbers, San Francisco is $10 billion in the hole ($4.2 billion of health care liabilities, plus $5.8 billion of pension liabilities)."

Then later, he estimates that the actual amount is approximately twice that, since the official ten billion figure is based over optimistic assumptions.
Try `-site:pinterest.com` to remove any results from the website, rather than any results that contain the text "pinterest.com". A minor distinction, but one that could change your results slightly.
I'm not sure I understand the point. So they identify bots. Then what? How can one get rid of these accounts?
Facebook failing, Zuckerberg and Sandberg absent: commentary
I don't think you really understand the kinds of details that AI picks up on. If that data pool shows that people who apply for loans on a Tuesday and have a salary whose third digit is 7 almost always default on loans, then neural networks will pick up on that, regardless of the connection to reality.

An algorithm, especially a trained algorithm, should be assumed biased until proven otherwise. It's not humanly possible to cleanse and normalize a dataset to a level that will prevent all possible overfitting ever, and even if you have godlike precision in squashing irrelevant data, it still depends on your personal definition of unbiased.

As someone who has been boots on the ground for political surveys, I'd frequently asked surveys that respondents from both parties would comment were biased against their own side. I don't trust human judgement, and I don't trust the judgement of human tools.
It’s portable Cpp in the sense that it’s portable to AMD GPUs, rather than being exclusively comparable with Nvidias Cuda.

Speaking in terms of engineering practice only, that genuinely seems like an entirely reasonable request—the mods might decline to answer for fear of informing voting rings how to be effective, but they should at least have an answer for themselves.
I’m not entirely sure that’s true. Many medicines we have are plant-based, and pharmaceutical companies make tons from them. What they do is figure out what about the plant actually works, simulate it with other chemicals, and then sell that. I mean Oxy is super profitable and it’s literally refined cocaine, which is as vegan as you can get.

Under the current incentive and regulatory structure, it seems like literally anything they can prove works, they can get a patent on. Pharma companies are so money hungry that if tea tree oil really did cure cancer, they’d refine it and patent that shit in a heartbeat.

The fact that they haven’t says so much to me.
”It means you can only write software to do things humans can do.”

For the things computers can do, they typically are way faster and way more reliable, but I don’t see how there could be anything software can do that humans can’t (quantum computing may change that)

Also, being able to explain what the computer did doesn’t imply being able to do it.

As a (silly) example, “We hashed the c.v. you sent us, getting a 150-digit number N. The N-th digit in the hexadecimal expansion of pi isn’t a zero, so you didn’t get invited for an interview” would be a perfectly good explanation of your hiring practices, even if you don’t know how to compute any of those decimals.
I don't do this at all. More than half of the questions that seem relevant from Google actually aren't my situation -- no point reading the answers. Also, there are lots of good questions that list things I should have tried.

I also read the comments on the question and most of the answers to the bottom, so I just read more than most people. I have the gold badge for voting on 600 questions, which only 0.4% of users have. I'm just too curious for my own good.

Second link in a search containing solely "carbon fibre asbestos". It's a fairly well known problem. The problems with carbon fibre (and asbestos, for that matter) is not that it's somehow poisonous, but that the particles are so fine and long and strong that they cause problems with your lungs. They can't be absorbed, they can't be expelled; their structure makes them an irritant that can't be removed by the body's natural processes.
I'm a big fan of decentralization, but most decentralized technologies still rely on that infrastructure to get around. I haven't seen a long-distance project that can effectively use mesh networking.

This whole problem could be solved by opening account verification up to everyone. Twitter would be amazing if every profile were guaranteed to be a verified human being with government issued ID. Leave it open to those who want to stay anonymous, but give users the option to filter those people out.
The Notes section neatly showcases the characteristics of most of the publish-fast-without-reproducibility "research" hitting arxiv starting mid-'17:

The paper didn't mention normalization, but without normalization I couldn't get it to work. So I added layer normalization.

The paper fixed the learning rate to 0.001, but it didn't work for me. So I decayed it.

I tried to train Text2Mel and SSRN simultaneously, but it didn't work. I guess separating those two networks mitigates the burden of training.

The authors claimed that the model can be trained within a day, but unfortunately the luck was not mine. However obviously this is much faster than Tacotron as it uses only convolution layers.

The paper didn't mention dropouts. I applied them as I believe it helps for regularization.
It’s a pension, you don’t have to live in the city to collect it. And a lot of those CA pensions are along the lines of “85% of your average salary over your last three years”, so guess what happens? Get a transfer to SF or LA and juice your average by doing ungodly amounts of overtime. Then fuck off and retire somewhere cheap pulling in 100k+ until you die. Pretty sweet setup, but local and state municipalities are screwed.
Hello.

Gifcurry controls the window size to maintain an accurate preview of the video (no added bars, wrong aspect ratio, etc.). This becomes important when cropping. If desired, I can add a preview size setting.

A preview of the text would be nice. This will be a future feature.

The upload buttons are shortcuts. This avoids having to maintain and distribute/reveal API keys. It also avoids having to keep the integration accounts in good standing.

The quality setting can reduce the final file size. Still, using your benchmark, I tweaked the optimization and pushed an update to the AUR.

At 100% quality: https://imgur.com/a/YRQot [0] (2.8 MB).

The top end quality (100%) is not as nice but with a 55% reduction in file size, the appearance is still very acceptable.

You can also save the final GIF as a video.

As a video at 100% quality: https://imgur.com/a/8nRxc [0] (166 kB).

Thank you for taking the time to review Gifcurry.

Hello.

Gifcurry does not optimize using Gifsicle. It employs the optimizations afforded by ImageMagick. In most cases the Gifsicle file size reduction is only minimal (even with the "-O3" flag).

Still, if desired, I could add this extra step.

Thank you for commenting.
Based on what I remember of their demographics, I would guess that you're right. What scares me is the number of LinkedIn users that are so unsavvy!
I'll cop to the lack of empathy, obviously, but I don't see how it's dangerous to not feel sorry that a formerly privileged group is now slightly less privileged.

And I'm not in Asia, so... fair enough?
Two months of daily GTA causes “no significant changes” in behavior
The $300 million per year that SF spends on homeless should be reevaluated. The fact that there is no metrics, targets, or accountability should make this the first thing on their list.

You could make the same argument about the New York Times, WSJ, the Economist, FT, and many other newspapers of record: the Googlebot gets the content, and the users get a login page if they don't have an account. Should Google get rid of those as well? How can a search engine be useful if it doesn't include the most popular sites?
An EDSL and a domain-specific API are not the same thing. For example, one typically expects the description of a program's logic and its execution to be separate in a DSL (i.e. building up expressions from the syntax made available in the EDSL and then later applying an interpreter (possibly multiple interpreters) to these expressions) while this is not generally true for domain-specific APIs.

“The whole market is getting closer to reality,” Freeman says. “I don’t think substrates are a gating factor. We’re still looking for that killer app.”

How about an inkjet printer that can print OLEDs and circuits? People can design light-up signs and even have small circuits to control changing patterns. I want to print a processor with RAM/ROM on one side and some kind of display on the other. This would be both widely usable and a boon to electronics education.

Why Was This Teenager Bleeding So Excessively?
Well, I get their emails. But the businesses around me that are affiliated with Groupon aren't ones I go to. When I was in a romantic relationship and 'date night' was something of value, we'd regularly go to Groupon and find something that looked interesting. But now? It just doesn't match my lifestyle.
I am aggregating events on a user-level and on a session-level so as to gain a higher level understanding of user behavior.

Like:
- "What is the median time that users spend on a given page?"

- "How many events do users generally fire in their first 3 sessions?"

-"Who visited Page A, then Page B, THEN Page C?"

-"How many users who used this feature also used this feature within the same day?"

This is difficult to do with purely event-level metrics. It also takes a really long time and isn't suited to exploration.

We're already using a data warehouse (AWS Redshift) to analyze event-level metrics. But more complex queries are much easier, and much faster to do, when the data is stored in ways that are more suited to such calculations.

So, that's what this article is hopefully helping people to do!

For a related topic, "Entity-Centric Indexing" is the ElasticSearch equivalent of what I'm working on!
Does Google manually adjust weights? While I agree with you, I always supposed that Google weights websites according to their own algorithms, not because some moderator thinks that it's less informative. If w3schools is higher, probably there are technical reasons, for example more users prefer it (may be content is easier to understand).
Honest question: what's the point of twitter?
Sure it does. Most kernel development is done by developers working in an office. They don't have to brainstorm over the LKML.
