Asking your neighbors is usually the best, at least around here you can usually find someone who is known to multiple people who can vouch for her.

If that doesn't work, and if you're ethically ok with it, you could put some cameras around the house (turned on only during the day when the cleaner comes). Dashcams are reasonably cheap nowadays.
This. If you're overweight enough to worry about weight loss, don't draw any conclusions first 5 pounds you lose - it's going to be mostly water.

It's way to easy to lose those 5 pounds, get "stuck", and get frustrated.

> Almost everyone will want to shop nationally first. It's the same arrogant "knowing better" seen in Facebook's show recent posts constantly resetting.

A lot of people want to shop price first then see how much cost would increase by buying from someone already on the same continent.

Including shipping when sorting by price is the opposite of user-hostile and they've done this since forever, most online retailers don't do this.
They are using preemptible CPUs/GPUs on Google Compute Engine for model training? Interesting. The big pro of that is cost efficiency, which isn't something I expected OpenAI to be optimizing. :P

How does training RL with preemptible VMs work when they can shut down at any time with no warning? A PM of that project asked me the same question awhile ago (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=14728476) and I'm not sure model checkpointing works as well for RL. (maybe after each episode?)
Who are these people?

I disagree with every single one of those points. BotW is amazing because of those points. BotW has such a huge sense of exploration and finding the unknown. The quest of better weapons, the open world, the way weather affects players and the world. Honestly I think BotW is one of, if not the best game ever made.
> but I don't see that we have any reason to think Intel would be better off taking Ben's advice than not

Ben doesn't offer any advice that I can see, and he makes it clear that integration has worked very well for Intel up to this point.

This seems like basic analysis, even though people seem determined to take it as advocacy.
The lemmatizer is an adaptation of https://wordnet.princeton.edu/documentation/morphy7wn. It conjugates the verb and adjectives to their base form, whereas the plural nouns are converted to singular form. The wink-pos-tagger (https://github.com/winkjs/wink-pos-tagger) leverages the lemmatizer to automatically find lemma of each word as per its part of speech.

For stemming, we have wink-porter2-stemmer (https://github.com/winkjs/wink-porter2-stemmer) that uses Porter Stemmer Algorithm V2 by Dr Martin F Porter.
At least in my end of the world (math), typically the paper is sent for review and posted to arxiv at the same time; the paper should already pretty much meet the quality bar for publication.

Ah, interesting. At first blush that seems like that kinda defeats the purpose of releasing a pre-print, but I can kinda see why someone might do it that way.
It could just be part of regular routing, but I noticed for example that all my facebook traffic is routed to an address with an LA prefix in LA. That doesn't seem strange except that Facebook doesn't have an LA datacenter (at least not that I could find any public record of, and they seem to publish the location of other data centers).

In the great scheme of things we're related to octopuses, but not nearly as closely as other mammals.
Also birds, the direct descendents of the dinosaurs and more distantly related to us, can be incredibly intelligent. See toolmaking in crows for example.
Seems to me the point is mainly that the Fermi paradox is no paradox at all, since it's entirely plausible that we're alone in the universe.

This doesn't mean we are alone, given the uncertainties. It just means that if we don't see anyone, we don't have to come up with all sorts of crazy scenarios to resolve the paradox, as people often do.

(If you find it implausible that we're the only ones, note we could also be one of just a few, separated by billions of light years, in which case we still wouldn't see anyone.)
12% body fat with enough muscle to almost be considered obese by BMI standards is quite a few standard deviations outside of the mean. Anyone with that kind of body is well aware of that BMI shortcoming. For most of the population, it’s still a pretty good rule of thumb.
Also a lot of games actually run a web browser within the game itself these days. So then what do you want to happen if the website the game loads suddenly becomes compromised? (Through DNS poisoning, stealing the domain, etc)
Life is not 'self replicating proteins', but rather self-replicating processes. And in those processes, hundreds of chemical components are involved in a dynamical manner, which requires both spacial (chemical formula) and time synchronization.

And as life complexity increases, so does the the complexity of the processes that make it possible. Humans are the result of a huge number of individual, albeit not all independent, events, each with a very low probability. Multiplying those probabilities, as it's required when determining the probability of occurrence of a sequence of independent events, yields numbers that are hard to event write down without special notations.

As I see it, the only way out is to postulate evolution based on other non-probabilistic evidence, and then to conclude that in spite of the low probability those events still happened.
> Because nothing you said disproves what the parent said, it simply gave an annecdote about what bad things a publisher did, unless you would categorize those as "ill-will of a single writer".

Well the general implication in the paresnt discussing fabrication as 'the ill of a single writer' and that a reputable publication should curtail them. You're right in that a 'reputable publication' may also simply deliberately craft lies as an organisation, rather than this happening as the result of the individual journalist.

> The down votes are likely because your post could seemingly be summarized as "but Fake News" which has people on edge.

Hence the edit restating that every single one of those is either well known or provable. Anyone can watch the unedited fish feeding video, read Damore's original memo, or see the CNN interview wherethe Obama admin talks about sepration happening. Something being a popular saying doesn't make it untrue. A more simple an likely explanation is that a US citizen's understanding of reality is now determined on a tribal basis rather than a factual one.
It is more expensive because in those areas is linked with better lifestiles attached to people with more money. Here in Dublin the cost of vegetables is ridiculous because there is a very strong meat culture.
>We're in the internet age. If you have a basic question, ask google.

You can do discrete math
(including analysis of algorithms) without reals.

Reals are only needed for calculus on infintesimals, which are not relevant to much of CS. Everything you can do with formal Taylor expansions doesn't need reals. In fact knowing calculus on the reals often causes confusion in students learning formal expansions for CS.
I had some fun wiring one of these up for my apartment to check air quality. Relatively inexpensive, although calibration is an issue, and I'm not sure I'd trust it in an emergency.

3 Powerful Ways to Uplift Yourself When You Hit a Low Point in Life
Fetching ActivityPub Feeds
As a conservative from the SF Bay Area, I support putting a price on carbon. I see this as an opportunity for Republicans to take a seat at the climate table and make sure that our voices are being heard. The gradual increasing tax that the Baker-Shultz plan proposes would incentivize companies to innovate and transition toward greener energy. Because this revenue-neutral tax would be passed on to consumers in the form of a monthly dividend, the economy would benefit because there will be more consumer spending. This Pigovian/correctional tax would help the free market in accounting for unforeseen individual costs/benefits. Additionally, about 70% of Americans would be net financial winners. Plus, the plan would make a lot of current regulations unnecessary, reducing the size of government. What's interesting to note is the fact that a lot of young conservative Republicans are supporting this (like the group Students for Carbon Dividends) revenue-neutral carbon tax. I think that as time goes on, the GOP will evolve and it won't be unusual for conservatives to address climate instability.
The point of the paper is that the Fermi paradox isn't even an apparent contradiction.

An ORM is like any other tool, you can either use it properly or misuse it. I've seen terrible hand written SQL code, and I've seen terrible LINQ queries. But with EF for example, once you learn LINQ and it's power, it becomes a very invaluable tool.

Also, the argument of it getting in the way is moot too, as you can still call a stored proc via an ORM as well.
The long-term results of various "stomach shrinking surgeries" are not actually that great. People experience a ton of weight loss quickly, yes, but tend to gain a lot of it back over time as they never really adjusted their habits.
Ask HN: Any designer want to help with a free tool I'm developing?
I'm making a free website to help people bulk delete their reddit comments. It started with wanting to remove my own posts from certain subreddits from many years ago. After looking into it I could not find any easy solutions to this problem. It also seems like many people are interested in such a tool.

I'm a backend engineer so I am struggling on a way to properly handle the UI / UX.

At it's core the workflow should be something like:

1. Homepage: Enter your reddit username

2. Redirect: Send them to reddit to authorize API access

3. Comment listing page: Show the user all their comments and allow them to select which ones they want to delete.

The comment listing page is where I'm struggling. How does the user select which comments they want to delete and which they want to keep? The more I think about it the more uncertain I become. Should I show all the comments in a table with checkboxes? Should I only show the subreddits with their comment counts?

I think mostly the tool will be used by people who have have either changed positions (for instance maybe you used to be a hardcore libertarian but now are liberal and want to remove your old comments) or people who have been doxxed (maybe you used to post to /r/gonewild but someone shared your reddit username on facebook) so I think to start the best course of action is to allow users to remove all the comments by subreddit.

If you are a designer and want to add a website to your portfolio please get in touch with me (montana949 at the free google email website) I'll take any help I can get and will do all the development, just need a design or if you want the html / css / javascript. Will also put your name and link on the website!
You can measure the logic of using individual components of the model, and the combination of those components, by exposing them to social scrutiny. That's all measurements are: An agreed upon social standard based on shared subjective experiences.

Plus, if any part of the model can be abstracted, there's a good chance you'll find leverage points to apply to other disciplines or problems.

There's also a socio-political aspect: We are an emotion-driven species. Sharing this kind of stabbing-in-the-dark information may actually drive the advancement of far less speculative technology that could be beneficial to us all.

Good timing. I'm currently working on an existing app that is targeted specifically at those with accessibility issues as part of a larger service offering. More so towards those with hearing issues.

This is a good first step, I have been using the WAVE accessibility plug in for Firefox to identify missed issues in my first run through of the app.

Luckily, we have an employee with a visual impairment that we can utilize for real world testing of the app.

As soon as the vendor is required to collect this tax, and is responsible for it to be paid, I'd consider it the vendor's tax. SD stopped making it the consumer's tax when they lifted the burden on them to pay it. If the vendor doesn't collect it the vendor still owes it because SD says making their citizens pay use tax doesn't work.

When you drive through Ohio you are using services paid by Ohio citizens. The gas you buy had to drive on state roads, cleared of snow by state plows, and sold to you by people who use other state services. Since you don't live there and are just using their services I think it's perfectly reasonable to be taxed.

But what if you never stepped foot in Ohio? What if sent a box in the mail, using the FedEx who charges you money for their services, pays taxes in the states they physically exist, pay for vehicle licenses and property taxes and income tax. All of which comes out of the fee I'm paying them. Has SD gotten enough money from me yet? Still haven't actually used any services that aren't consumed by the one thing I'm doing and paying for, shipping a box

The employees that work in Ohio get to vote, get to have protections by Ohio government, get access to services. The businesses get protections too. And yet I, the vendor, who lives in a completely different state, and never uses a single service of theirs beyond those required to ship a box (odd that there is no extra taxes on sending a letter USPS) is then required to do ohio's job of collecting taxes, and pay any that I miss collecting or am charged a fine. Sounds to me like Ohio is requiring me to fill a job position I did not previously need or else pay a fine. That is all money that now goes to someone else because Ohio says so. Could have sworn that is taxation.

And as for voting rights, I think everyone is disregarding the fact that employees vote. If a referendum came up that would make their job harder or even make it impossible, the employees get to vote on it. Not saying they wouldn't all vote the way the company wants, but their are votes cast for defending their livelihood. Since my company has no physical presence I don't have that same representation. Yet I'm again still required to do everything an in-state business is required. I had none of these issues when my business only existed in the state I live in. And where I and all my employees vote.
There's a difference between a data center and a POP. The former is very large. The latter is usually a rack or more in someone else's facilities. When you try to reach Google or Facebook, you rarely hit their data centers directly. They're out in the boonies, where land and power are cheap. Rather, you talk to their proxies at the edge (POPs, often in large cities). From there, your data is either returned immediately (e.g. cached objects such as popular videos or the company logo...) or forwarded over their fiber to the core clusters in the data centers.
Game theory basically. Any civilizations that minimizes would be destroyed by any civ that maximizes, so the survivors must be maximizers. Furthermore any civ that minimizes would never get to an advanced stage in the first place.
You only need reals for exact solutions. Once you are approximating with smooth functions, you can approximate with rationals/decimal paramters on polynomials.

You need to provide a source for that. You will not be able to. The CO2 level was MUCH MUCH higher in the past. As long as plants exist, CO2 will be absorbed, and it's absorbed at a higher rate as it goes up, thus stabilizing the system. Think partial pressures.
I stick to the lazy approach. Find an app like myfitnesspal that has generic calorie and nutrition info for a given food. Is it going to be accurate to the nearest 10 calories? No, but it's better than giving up on calorie counting entirely :)
If peering had more participants, companies could choose their peering agreements for server-to-server data (i.e. non-residential, not-public-internet) on private pipes only with companies who make the similar no-AT&T promise downstream. One way or another, the principled economic squeeze needs to be there instead of waiting on public policy.
Disclaimer: I have studied linear algebra with your book. Thank you for writing it. Special thanks for making it completely free and open-source.

I have gotten a fair number of emails along the lines of "I'd like to adopt your book but since anyone can download the answers, I cannot teach out of it."

When we had an introductory course in linear algebra, we were not given any home assignments. Instead, we were told that if we want to train and exercise some concepts, we should find third-party materials and self-study -- and so, I used your book. I really like that approach, it allows more capable students to do whatever they like instead, and to less capable -- work on it, if needed. Thus, I don't understand the rationale of not teaching out of something that contains solved exercises, because there is no reason to assign mandatory exercises in the first place. It's enough to have tests.

And of course, such books are extremely valuable for non-mainstream (that is, not enrolled into a high school or wherever) audience, which can be smaller, but has more impact regarding feedback.
I think you can factor inflation out of it at the international level; USA wants more things priced in dollars (like oil) because we can manufacture dollars but nobody else can – an enormous edge. Which explains why USA foreign policy is what it is in one sentence.

Perhaps "spike" was a poor choice due to connotation, but proteins and, to a lesser degree, fats, do in fact provoke an insulin response (certainly less so than carbohydrates) via gluconeogenesis[1]. I'm not an expert, but my understanding is that this is why it is important to not exceed a certain % daily intake of protein when on keto and to keep fats high (aside from fats being your primary energy source.)

JS and CSS libraries can be cached so that in theory you only need to download it once for several apps. The large file size with Js apps is more commonly the app itself, transpiled for older browsers using Babel. That makes for some massive code. But changes are coming. Webpack can compile separate versions for es6 compatible and incompatible browsers so only IE need download the monster Js file and chrome and Firefox can have light code of just a few hundred kb
>I have been told that it is work only appropriate for grad students.

It's quite common to look down on "lesser" work like this (janitorial work, writing solutions, whaterver) as only useful for those "lower" than you, but the amount of times I asked for help from a professor only to have them struggle to comprehend how to solve the problem (from their own assignment) was too damn high. Maybe if they tried to eat their own dog food, they'd see where they could improve.

>They ask about adoptions.

Of course, because the metrics we used to use to get a gauge of where we were progressing and where we needed work turned directly into a measure of our worth as a laborer. Your worth as a professor is only proportional to how much good PR you bring to your organization, they don't care about you actually teaching students, especially not students who aren't paying for your services via your university tuition.
