Hey guys! Last September I decided to create a short explainer for one of my e-commerce product. I did not have any experience neither concrete understanding of how the video should look like - time, style, story. So I went online googling for some inspiration but didn't find a source that would really satisfy my needs. Guess what - I created one=). Right now, there're 130 videos on the website handpicked by me that you can filter through a bunch of categories: explainers, crowdfunding, commercials, tutorials, educational, customer testimonials and company testimonials. The last categories are not really "explainers" type of video, but I thought it still would be valuable to showcase them.

Check it out on [http://explainers.world/]

Looking forward to hearing your thoughts on this!

> It will take billions of miles—and some unknown number of people killed—to gauge whether, by a statistically significant margin, AVs are safer than human-driven cars.

This kind of lumps all the AVs together. There is evidence though that Waymos are already safer than human divers - from 2012:

> Google announced Tuesday that its self-driving cars have completed 300,000 miles of test-drives, under a "wide range of conditions," all without any kind of accident. (The project has seen a few accidents in the past — but only with humans at the wheel.)

> To put that into perspective, the average U.S. driver has one accident roughly every 165,000 miles. https://mashable.com/2012/08/07/google-driverless-cars-safer...

Since then I think they have logged about 6 million miles and had one semi at fault accident when their car thought a bus would give way but it didn't and hit them. I don't think Waymo would been looking to order 62,000 vans if they were not confident they would be safer than human drivers.

They have also had far more accidents with humans at fault crashing into stationary Waymos than the other way around.

On the other hand Ubers crash seems like a reckless effort to try to catch up by cutting corners and Tesla's it's your fault if you didn't look for a few seconds attitude seems iffy.
There's something about not hitting 1.0. It instills doubt on adoption that things will change in a breaking way soon, and that you're going to need to rewrite your stuff in potentially non-trivial way.

I liked playing with Nim in spare time. But, I don't think I'll use it for anything I care about to maintain for a long time.
The article is not about picking parameters. The article is one meta layer up from that; they examine the distribution of parameters.

I can't guarantee this is novel paper in general, but it's not something I've seen treated this formally before. I mean, it roughly conforms to what I've been saying for a while, but I only worked the math very intuitively and in a manner that could have been flawed, so I get no credit. They've worked it formally and put it on a solid basis. Plus as we adjust our probability ranges in the future, the analysis can be re-run with new numbers easily and produce concrete, or at least, concretely-vague answers, instead of vaguely-vague intuitions.

Do you have any reason other than Xenophobia for expecting this?
Both of these suffer from the potential maintenance problem of duplicating the list of enumerated values.

You can avoid that by using the X-Macro pattern, but that's quite heavy-handed and tedious to do if you have a lot of different enums.

It also doesn't use "enum class" which means that the namespace will be polluted unnecessarily.

C++ ADL is pretty bonkers indeed, or at least somewhat surprising if you don't know the rules very well. Thing is without ADL some patterns would be a lot harder to write (or use).

Oh god please I hope they have. In my experience, dynamically typed scripting languages struggle to keep up with the rigorous structure enforced by statically typed languages once the project gets large enough.

Yes, in theory you _can_ write big projects well in dynamically typed languages, but in practice you get a mess of undocumented interfaces and unit tests that don't quite catch the plethora of errors not present when a static type system is in place.

I think Typescript is a great middle ground between the loose running JS hipsters and the Haskell loving Hindley-Milner type system CS researchers. You can enforce the type restraints that you want (I personally am strict about explicit "string | null" declarations) but you're still hip enough to draw the JS talent.
Maybe, but not necessarily even that. The flow of chemical evolution that leads to carbon-based life is just so highly likely. We see some key molecules just about everywhere we look out there. And various simulations (physical, not virtual) create nucleic acids, amino acids, fatty acids, carbohydrates, etc. So there's no reason to think that the Earth is special.

It depends how much data is collected in the first place, and how much is available to the person trying to break anonymization. If I'm not mistaken, everything is deanonymizable with global traffic analysis.
Yes, this is the essence of the Fermi paradox, and it's often overlooked. 100k years is nothing on cosmological scales.

I am dabbling in Nim, and plan to replace bash/Python scripts with Nim. So far it looks really promising!

The 'solution' you're looking for also isn't necessarily the 'solution' Google and Amazon are looking for. You're looking for an answer to a question, or to find a thing, they're looking to maximize ad revenue and sales. So the answer to your search is tempered by what gets them the most money. _That_ is what they've spent millions trying to figure out.

> You can just print money, that's the business model.

That is not Tether's stated business model. To issue 1 USDT, Tether is supposed to take in 1 USD from someone, and hold it safely in an account.

Their stated business model is taking a 10 basis point or $20 fee (whichever one is higher) when someone buys USDT with USD. https://tether.to/fees/

The likely fraudulent business model would be printing USDT that aren't backed by USD, purchasing cryptocurrencies with it, and then pumping up the value of that cryptocurrency to realize gains.

Done right, they might even make enough money with such fraudulent trading to eventually have the cash reserves they claim to have. Maybe at that point they'll finally complete their first audit. Their site still makes the shocking claim "subject to frequent professional audits" despite having been fired by their auditor.

Every once in a while we see a headline that says something like "There are more planets than we previously thought", or "There are more galaxies than we previously thought". When people see these they often conclude that the odds that life exists elsewhere are greater than previously thought, but it's also perfectly logical to see those headlines and concludes that the odds of life forming are lower than previously thought, because (per Fermi) "Well then where is everyone?"

Look at the math:

odds of life existing elsewhere = (10^n planets) / (10^(-m) odds of life forming on a planet)

We don't know what `n` and `m` are. It may be that `m` is much larger than than `n`. Yes, the number of planets is very large, but the odds of life forming is apparently very small. It may be that there is a very large number of planets, but a very very very very small chance that life would form on a planet.
OK, picking distributions. I can't imagine that there's enough data to even do that.
I don't understand your point.

It's understood that in personal correspondence everything stated is the opinion of the author. Both my fictional examples were written from a personal point of view.

The actual difference was that one expressed a personal preference without being offensive; the other called a vast group of people "ugly", which is offensive, and expressed incredulity that they even managed to find each other sexually attractive enough to reproduce (which is naive as well as offensive).

Racism is primarily subjective, so that's no excuse either. Rational justifications for racism are more often than not a posteriori justifications.

Exactly. Memes are funny because they make meta references that are culturally relevant or simply attach absurd bottom lines. It's highly unlikely a deep neural network can model anything like that.

For example, what do you think of Go? It's case-sensitive and whitespace-insensitive, but almost everyone formats their code with gofmt, which next to eliminates "creativity" with whitespace, letter case and braces (but makes the code uniform and readable across authors).

I've lost weight many times without any exercise. The formula was pretty simple for me:

1) Eat on regular intervals. Don't starve yourself, but don't overeat. Typically you stop while you are a tiny bit hungry. The body is a bit slow on registering that you've had enough.

2) Cut out all sugary stuff, chocolate, ice cream, candy.

If you live in the US, it might be harder. My experience from living in the US was that it was hard to stay healthy there because
1) Almost all food contains some sugar
2) Served portions are usually way too large. And you buy things in too large quantities.

This means you might have to focus on cooking food from scratch at home to avoid the added sugar, and getting too large portions.

Don't cook larger portions to have left overs for later. You'll just eat more.

But if you are like me and can't be bothered to make food yourself, then buy EXPENSIVE food. This sounds silly but the thing is that when you buy cheap food, it doesn't taste well unless it is unhealthy.

Healthy food that tastes good is often expensive food. If you go to nice restaurants you tend to get smaller and healthier portions.

I waste a lot of money on food this way but it is just a trade off I've made. I rather waste money than get more unhealthy.
I'm the creator of dbcli. I can give you my perspective.

usql is a great tool if you're familiar with Postgres' psql client and wish you could use it for other databases like MySQL, Cassandra etc.

dbcli tools are designed to preserve the usage semantics of the existing tools but improve on them by providing auto-completion. For instance you can use `\d` in pgcli and `SHOW TABLES` in mycli. This was a conscious decision to make pgcli and mycli drop in replacements for of MySQL and psql. I was also working under the assumption that people rarely use multiple databases, you're either a postgres shop or a MySQL shop. If you have a mix of both, there is a good chance that not a single person is interacting with both of them on a daily basis. You have different teams using different databases. But my reasoning there could be flawed.

There is nothing stopping someone from adding an adapter to the usql tool to make it behave like MySQL (because they like the mysql client better) based on a command line argument, for instance.

Perhaps the most logical explanation is that people don't have to be as smart as they were when computers, the internet and DIY "recipes" are so readily available. Even using a paper map is obsolete when a smart phone can verbally direct you. How many people do math by hand now?

Example: California native Americans (Chumash) did not have to be smart. Every day was a great day, food and water were everywhere from the ocean to the valleys whereas in south America things were more difficult. Spaniards were stunned by the Aztec capital being larger and more advanced than anything in Europe. The Aztecs had astronomy, math, and domesticated turkeys for food. They created all that because they had too.

AI Senses People Through Walls
Is the solution to stagnate the economy?

Is the solution to be companies to throw their hands up in the air and say "municipal governments can't solve gentrification, so let's not become big"?

Do you think the swaths of tech workers moving to be close to work enjoy their rent prices skyrocketing? Do you think they enjoy rising homeless rates?

Nobody wants gentrification. If you can find me a tech worker kicking sand in a homeless person's face I'll lambast him with you. I want to solve gentrification as well but the solution isn't to choke an economy to prevent companies from moving in. That just pushes the problem to some other city. We need the government to step in and do its job, and that means we have to participate and steer the government.

It goes unnoted in the article, but you could probably get an entire second piece out of the phrase "...defending themselves against the formidable blessing of offspring."

At the time it was written, Einstein had three children (though his first child's story is basically unknown, and she was either adopted or died in infancy). He was also divorced from their mother, with whom both his sons lived, but corresponded with them throughout their lives. I'd be rather interested to see an ambivalent comment like "formidable blessing" put in the context of these relationships.

hardly convincing since IQ tests usually don't depend on your level of training or knowledge.
Let's say the web app is a game and it keeps track of your high score when you play it, if the high score is stored somewhere you have complete control over, what's to stop someone from modifying that score? Substitute high score for any variable a server tracks about a user that isn't explicitly supplied by that user.

Summit is an open science machine (meaning any researcher can apply for time, but it's very competitive so getting an allocation is difficult) and is not budgeted to NNSA for stockpile maintenance as far as I know. It should be running mostly non-classified scientific research, though there is a provision for running sensitive research like stuff related to operating nuclear plants. Sierra at LLNL is the one that is primarily targeted towards classified weapons-related research and NNSA operates independently within DoE.

This makes entire sense to me: When you're going to stream the episode of Stranger things to 15million people, who really cares what the one-time cost to encode is? Surely you'd take algorithmic complexity that was 100x or even 1000x the baseline if it provided you with even a few kB of bandwidth savings?

Many permissions like that are used in ways a typical user doesn't expect. Companies will explain it away by saying you agreed to it in the terms of service, although it's generally acknowledged that almost nobody reads or understands those terms for any company.
For example, most people don't realize that when you give an app read access to your photos, it probably will scan every single one of them for data and upload it to the app's maker. Practices like this are so common that I don't even think the developers understand that they're abusing users' trust.

To be fair, I've to admit that Dragonfly BSD doesn't show up on the first result page when you search for "dragonfly". What does show up is the malware by the same name.

Side note: this also shows how simplistic Google search really is. No way to search for "Dragonfly /computers/" opposed to "Dragonfly /nature/" with the terms in slashes denoting a concept or domain instead of a syntactic element.

tl;dr for those who didn't read the article. This data is from LinkedIn and based on their measures of:
1. Number of job applications
2. [LinkedIn] engagement
3. employee retention.

The 1st factor one may be biased by Amazon's larger employee base, which according to Google is currently >500k.

The 3rd factor is a big one and may be heavily biased by Amazon's exploding stock growth and horrible vesting schedule.

The article calls out Amazon's frugality as appealing to workers. If this is true, then human beings too easily act against their own interests. As a consumer, I appreciate their frugality toward their workers. As a worker, I would tell them to GFYS (in fact, I did). Their frugality does not translate to higher comp.

Simulating? Extremely difficult. Perturbing pre-recorded paths is a bit easier to do, but requires pre-recording of a lot of paths. One of the fastest ways to get your Poker bot banned is to not fix this one way or the other.

It still tracks the mouse movements, just now being able to classify their users as disabled or using an arcane device (both of which are interesting tidbits to add to your advertisement profile).
