Did any experts actually say that the flaw couldn't be worked around? I thought the argument was just that working around the flaw gives you known algorithms.
The more important question is what they're actually held to. In the case of a diagnostic test like this, the most reasonable thing is to hold them to the false negative and false positive rates that they say the product has. No real-world diagnostic test is perfect. Instead, we design the systems around the tests to accommodate the fact that they do have errors. As long as the device manufacturer is correct about their probabilities of errors, then we can incorporate them into a system that works better than what we had before. Or we can know that we cannot use them in a useful way, and just ignore it.
Well they could have a sophisticated auto-scaling system that only pays for capacity as needed. Or they could have some lone IT person turn on a bunch of servers, configure a load balancer, then cross their fingers, the morning of.
Just the single incident of an engine coming apart like this is considered a serious problem. They spend a lot of money inspecting them to prevent such things.

The most interesting comparison is probably between maintenance facilities that work on comparable planes. So if there are some that don't have any incidents, you maybe conclude that 3 is really bad.

An individual student may only need 20-30 books a year, but after about 4th grade each student needs different books. They may not even know what books they need far enough in advance to get it.

If the goal is to live like a 300BC tribesman then they don't need books, they will follow adults and learn what works. Even today for the poor that is 80% of their life: learn from and do what the adults before them did.

Where reading helps is when the kids get interested in something they couldn't know. Should they start no-til farming in their fields - done right it builds the soil, but done wrong and there is a complete crop failure. They need to build a new hut - is there modern construction methods that they could apply to build a better hut? Those are just a few of the questions that they can learn from a book, but there is no reason for everybody in the village to learn that, just one specialist.

The discovery was made by Aubrey de Grey, the same person who believes that humans will eventually live past 1,000. Weird!

> [de Grey] found his way to the chromatic number of the plane problem through a board game. Decades ago, de Grey was a competitive Othello player, and he fell in with some mathematicians who were also enthusiasts of the game. They introduced him to graph theory, and he comes back to it now and then. “Occasionally, when I need a rest from my real job, I’ll think about math,” he said. Over Christmas last year, he had a chance to do that.
You bring up good points! I think the efficiency in real-world applications is still not as good as alternative solutions, but what I really like about PWD is that it's a general parsing algorithm that's incredibly simple to understand (if you have a working knowledge of regular languages). The implementation can be a little more tricky (e.g. if you've never written a fix-point before[0]), but the actual concepts just seem so simple. PWD was actually one of the first parsing algorithms I learned about (odd, I know), and even without much prior knowledge of the field of parsing I was able to grasp the gist of it in a single sitting.

[0] You can also just skip over establishing a fix-point if you guarantee that your language is not left-recursive.
I must be made of sterner stuff. I have had what I suspect was a used condom mailed to me. I have had people call my work before. Calls that just hang up. Lots of spam and other angry emails.

I find it more amusing that people would waste their only life on such stupid things.

I do think the adress requirement is perhaps a bit much for an individual. Thats why I mentioned that. Kinda wish I used a PO box for my domains. However, its already there already. So I dont worry about it much anymore.

The only thing I consider personal is your adress. If your name and phone number and contact email are problem. Then a phone book is just as much of a problem.
Seems that metrics providing visibility into the "network connectivity was flaky", like looking at response times (particularly 95/99 percentile) and digging into the pod, which gives you the node, would have isolated the problem pretty quickly to a single node. If a problem is isolated to a node, first thing to look at would be node logs. Would that pattern not have worked in this case?
Sitemaps are still useful. Eg. my previous employer ran a very large site with hundreds of millions of possible pages to crawl. You can use the sitemaps to help the crawler prioritise given limited crawl budget.

A hallmark of good game design is making your losses feel like your fault and not the game’s. You lost because you weren’t good enough (yet), not because the game was unfair.

But when you’re playing the blocks game and “two wheels” destroys “shoe” instead of “motorcycle” or “Jimmy Hendrix” is “drums” and not “guitar”, it’s a bit frustrating. Worse yet when you have to type “sweet food” five times in a row before it correctly guesses “cake”. Things it thought are more “sweet food” than cake: protein, cheese, strawberry, dinner.

Finally, while we can make some fun associations (“rawr” will identify “lion”) it’s inconsistent regarding cultural references. “Kazooie” will correctly identify “banjo” but “swan lake” will select “pier” instead of “ballet”.

I understand the point isn’t the games and that the creators don’t really have a direct input in these choices, but I found the game otherwise so enjoyable, I wish this wasn’t an issue. As it is, carefully planned strategies are punished instead of rewarded. It was fun for a bit, though, and I thank you for that enjoyment.

This is some of the best advice I've read wrt repairing one's social circle. Most advice begins and ends at "Go to church" or if you get lucky "Find a sport or club" which is of profoundly limited value if you're not a member of the dominant religion and/or don't know the area well.

I know that this is a totally whack-job comment, but the TV show "the Good Doctor" is kinda leaning this way. Instead of relying on a ton of personal bias - the main character is generally more similar to how a ML would diagnose things, obviously there's no way to establish any foundation to this since it's based on a TV show. But it offers a vision of what you're saying but instead of AI it's a Savant syndrome individual that is making better judgments than the rest of the doctors. That being said, I would imagine a Savant is being placed in a role like that is less likely than the show portrays so where does that place AI?

> If your theory is that the building code is just fine when things like the Millennium Tower can happen, then we disagree on what "fine" means.

What portion of the building code do you think needs to be updated in response to the Millennium situation? In reality, the building code achieves a success rate far in excess of what engineers deem acceptable. It is unfortunate that the Millennium is a big glaring exception, but the fact remains.

Geotechnical engineering (the cause of the Millennium lean) remains a highly empirical field of engineering with uncertainties that dwarf structural ones. Hence there is a lot of built-in conservatism in design parameters like bearing pressures. But there are limits to the amount of information you can ascertain of what's below you that you cannot see. Looking back in retrospect and saying "well obviously they should have had longer piles" like many people have on the various threads about the tower is a pretty ignorant thing to say, and it shows that they do not have an appreciation of the engineering behind the decision. There a tens of thousands of examples of friction piles that have worked flawlessly. The engineering evidence appears to have supported the decision, but the in-situ soil conditions varied from their design model. This, in my opinion, is not a failure of codes, but an unfortunate, statistically rare outcome.

It is pretty difficult for Netflix or Amazon to have recommendations that appeal to me because their datasets are limited to their specific domains. In reality, my tastes and interests pull from such a wide range of fields.

One year, I decided to only watch movies filmed in, or about, the state where I live. One year I caught up on famous horror movies I hadn't seen. None of these ideas was "suggested" to me directly. Nor, do they really seem related to each other. For me, at least, it seems a long way off before computer algorithms are affecting the way my brain chooses something it likes or wants to try.

They already are learning that from the adults in their life. If they want to get beyond they need to do something different. There are two choices: experiment and see what works, or learn from others. The latter is much easier - IF you can find out what others have done. There are many modern farming methods that could apply well to the village garden, but there are subtle things that have to be got just right or it will be a failure just like the adults in the village warn you. The kids who can read have a much better chance trying the right experiment in the village garden and getting a good harvest, while those who seem to try the same thing without reading first are likely to make one of those small mistakes that ruin the harvest and fail the experiment.

Could be something simple, just to start off. I tried to google it, but it's hard. Algorithms and learning always end up with something about "teaching computers to learn/AI", when I actually want to help humans...

In Chicken, those features might not be in the core language but in the libraries. It really depends on which features you need. If they're not in Chicken or its libraries, ask yourself if they're really worth the bloat of SBCL?

Also, Chicken offers a number of other advantages apart from a much smaller footprint, like elegance, a less crufty and more modern syntax, and the ability to compile down to C.
> One's address is a matter of public record anyway

Can you clarify what jurisdiction you mean? In the United States, this isn't true - there are certain (admittedly common) things that generate public records with your address, such as buying a house or (in some areas) registering to vote. (In other areas, voter registration databases are technically not public, but volunteers on any political campaign have access.)

However, if you're not registered to vote and you're renting an apartment, there isn't any real reason why your address would be a public record.
The problem with the Nazis is that they were genocidal maniacs, not that they p-hacked their scientific papers. Genocidal maniacs have spouted many creeds, some of which sound much nicer (like brotherly love & eternal life... or equality of mankind & ownership of the means of production) and they are still evil. Because mass murder is wrong. Full stop.

I think it's really dangerous to tie the wrongness of the supposedly scientific facts they spouted to the wrongness of their deeds. Dangerous because if it turns out they were right about some point, then you look like an idiot and have to change your tune. And dangerous because it warps subsequent science, to avoid such embarrassment.

They believed in breeding a master race. In response to this, the acceptable opinion in the West ever since seems to have been that this is impossible, that humans are unique among creatures on this planet in that they are immune to the pressures of selective breeding. We can double the size of our chickens (and breed tame foxes, and smart dogs) but humans are apparently immutable. This is creationist nonsense, and it becomes more and more obviously nonsense every year. We need not have painted ourselves into such a stupid corner.

> macros would appear to eliminate continuation-writing-by-hand

They don't =]. There's cl-cont, but it's like building a house on a foundation of toothpicks. Not to discount the work the author put in, but you can only do very specific things with it, and last time I looked, error/exception handling was pretty much completely missing.

> I'm interested exactly what the pain points are with CPS

Basically, for example, if I'm going to convert cl-postgres to use async, I have to rip out the protocol parsing from the networking (they are often globbed together) then I have to replace the networking with async and tie it back into the protocol parsing. This in itself isn't too bad, but then anything that calls the new async cl-postgres has to be converted to expect async...all the way up. This can be somewhat alleviated by promises (https://orthecreedence.github.io/blackbird/) but they still don't change the fact that the entire stack is unwound once you call into async.

Continuations would allow building green threads/coroutines which would eliminate CPS and allow you to preserve your stack while calling into async, but CL is pretty much written in stone to not have continuations (or coroutines et al) at this point.

2) Not swimming backwards - A manageable debt profile that has no high interest debt.

3) Ability to retire at a "reasonable" age - Not all of us will be able to stop working at 67, but all of us should be able to retire and cover all of our retirement expenses before our bodies give out.
