That's crazy. I had the exact same experience, except for me they said the service had been cancelled, but then sent me a bill 3 months later for 3 months of back payment I "owed". And in my case I called and complained, but ended up just giving up and not paying.

They still come by to sell me fiber a few times a year, and I explain I would try again if they "forgive" the money I owe, the salesperson says "no problem", they spend 20 minutes on the phone to HQ, then say it's impossible :)

Oh yeah, and I had the exact same oversubscription issue. The service was fast as hell, until the middleschoolers got home at 2:30ish, then it slowed to almost unusable speeds.

Wow, thanks for letting me know. We have never had any malware, though our inline install of Chrome/Firefox extensions has been flagged by Avast at times (despite our attempts to get whitelisted). Neither our website nor our tools have ever done anything even vaguely shady — we don't gather user-level browsing data or anything else like that, so it's a big bummer when we get flagged like this.

Do you know if there's a way that your company can report this as an inappropriate block to FortiMail? I will try to reach out to them also, but my guess is they'll be more receptive to a customer request than to one of their blacklisted websites!

BTW, we're not publicizing this, but right now we're testing out a "BeeLine Advocate" program. Basically, if you install the extension and complete the free trial (2 wks), you'll be invited to get free access to our Pro tier in exchange for filling out periodic surveys.

We've just opened up this program, and it'll probably be open to new users for 3 weeks or so. Thought I'd share with the community here, since HNers are great for feedback (as you've just shown with your comment!).

> the published result is almost surely not repeatable in each nuanced case for day to day practitioners that have custom layers, extra regularization, heterogeneous hardware for training

As shown in the post and linked code, it works very well with custom layers and extra regularization. Hardware does not impact the results at all. The results hold across CNNs, RNNs, and even QRNNs, across a wide variety of datasets.

We literally tried to find a real-world NLP or vision dataset it didn't work with, and failed to do so.

> Beyond these preliminary observations, though, there does not seem to be a well-developed and widely accepted model in the psychology literature to explain how character labeling makes such a difference.

Sure there is. The results can by explained by how the brain resolves/reduces cognitive dissonance: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cognitive_dissonance#Reduction

A central feature of many contemporary cognitive models is the notion of a 'schema,' which can be thought of as a record of beliefs/assertions on some subject. Cognitive dissonance arises when observations create a contradiction within a schema; reduction of cognitive dissonance involves modifying the schema in a way that (as best as possible) accounts for all observations. (Sometimes there isn't a good way of doing it and some pretty strange behavior may result.)

Another way of looking at it is that your schemas constrain your behavior so that the actions you take, insofar as it's possible, are consistent with both your goals and your relevant schemata.

So if you can actually modify someone's schema for the subject of their self, you can influence their behavior so that it becomes consistent with that modification.

Hence, theoretically, you tell someone they're "so compassionate" etc. and they start playing the part. Now, in practice, I doubt this will do much. Your statements are a bit of data supporting some assertion that can become part of their 'self schema,' but there's a whole lot of other data coming from other places that will conflict with the b.s. you're telling the person.
Meh. Very one sided perspective contributing to further polarizing of the political landscape.
> The F# version doesn't even include the actual arguments, and the capitalised and underscored versions are repeated twice.

i don’t know what you mean. actual argumennts? do you mean like “—working directory” or the values passed by them? i am actually not familiar with this library, but it seems the former is handled by the library from the discriminated union constructor names and the latter are right there in the constructors.

and what do you mena there’s no need? that seems rather arbitrary. it’s a way to represent your data explicitly with types, i.e., is type-driven development.

i can’t further defend this library because i have never used it, but i see no confusion here and don’t even understand the complaints. it seems to be “this is different than how i think in python, so it’s no good”.
This is a good point, and it actually fits with our ethos of minimal tracking, which I've been meaning to emphasize in our onboarding process.

Maybe a nudge toward Firefox can be part of that message.

That's one way to see it, but clearly for some set of the population, the phrase is either meaningful (otherwise it would cease to be used) or it gets relabeled, rebranded, repackaged.

Your mind can get comprised, but you can also have the sense knocked into you. These things aren't invariant conditions each person either is or isn't. 3 generations go by and all the while, everyone who isn't an outlier, everyone who conforms to a norm of having esteem - is there a point to labeling it for those people? Would they carry that word around if they found no purpose for it?

Weird mantra, sure, or just talking - seeking, finding.

At the same time, I find that it's often hard to comprehend projects that are broken into too many little files. There's normally no guide on what pieces are where, so you don't know which order to read things. Makes it a little tougher to dive in. I just want to find the file that has the "meat", and I don't mind if that file is 1000+ lines long, especially if the code itself makes sense and is clear.

What I think is interesting is how you could judge the success of the Apollo missions. One one hand they succeeded if your willing to ignore the Apollo 1 fire. But as I referenced the four critical failures. I think sober hindsight paints a picture of luck on the ragged edge.

One thing though I I think one needs to be aware of how risk gets amortized over time. Airliners are in heavy service and so the catastrophes due to design and operation holes is atomized over a lot of flights, where the shuttle never really was ever anything more than a few prototypes. Consider Boeing's first three 787's. Boeing planned to sell those but they've been written off. One can guess why.

While I agree it seems pretty good, I'd be interested in a more detailed breakdown of its strengths and weaknesses (for those who have coverage, and ignoring costs). I realize that nothing tells me that it's "great" other than somewhat boastful repetition by Americans.

As far as "socially risky political views" go, I'm more afraid that people with the political opinions of Cory Doctorow will use the massive surveillance databases to smear and suppress anyone who read Breitbart a few times or whose browsing history shows they might disagree with socialism or open borders as "racist, xenophobic, fearful, angry... [genocidal] maniacs".

His point, though clouded by political bias, still stands: these databases should not exist in the first place and the first big pile of rags that goes up in flames will be a big deal, no matter whose data is getting exposed.

Democrats may retake Congress in the fall.

> Tuition is a direct proxy for college funding (think of it as student funding rather than public funding). I meant it to show that increasing funding for colleges does not equate with improving outcomes for most students.

I see what you mean. AFAIK, tuition increases have been closely correlated with public funding cuts, so overall funding may not be increasing.

I have wondered though: Students pay X times as much as they did 20 years ago; are they getting something better? Unfortunately, that's not how market pricing works; as the U.S. has tried to expose everything to market forces (including people's health!), higher education prices seem to be based on supply and demand, and demand for something so essential is highly inelastic.

Back when Facebook didn't support linked hashtags I made an extension that removed them from posts on facebook.com (they just annoyed me). It still worked perfectly even after Facebook added native support.

It was active for many years with great reviews and a few hundred users.

Google pulled it early this year because Facebook asked them to... They claimed it violated copyright. There was no option to appeal.

Not trying to make a point here. Just offering another anecdote.
Attribution is not really the issue. Don't use photos that you didn't take yourself, unless you have acquired permission to use them. I am moved to make this point because I have the impression that many people actually think that "giving credit" somehow immunizes them from damages for copyright infringement.
Indeed. Is it just the anchor tag or are other methods cool? If the site lets me embed their content in an iframe is that cool? What about bookmarks, all I am really doing is saving a link. What about link shorteners? Do they become illegal? What about instead of a link somebody programs an extension that intercepts links and manually types the link url into the address bar and programmatically presses return? If I drop the referer header are they even going to know it is a link? Is a bot that indexes their page into a search engine saving an illegal link? The answer to all of the above is probably whatever the IP holder deems the most profitable in each circumstance.

> but what kind of Real World workload or environment would one need to be in to see this in action?

Hmm, Facebook perhaps.

Emedded devices tend to use zswap/zram which [yet] don't support THP, as far as I know. For instance, take a look
at zswap_frontswap_store():

/* THP isn't supported */
if (PageTransHuge(page)) {
ret = -EINVAL;
goto reject;
}

Once zswap [and, perhaps, zram] gain THP swap out/in
support, embedded devices [some of which use swap quite
heavily] should also see a considerable performance
improvement.

P.S. I didn't check the patch set, may be zswap THP
support is already in there.

No, but that just makes me assume that this is an optimization bug. Especially since -O4 actually coughs up different pointers:

gcc-7 -std=c11 -O4 -o test test.c
$ ./test
0x7fff5b5f5a08 0x7fff5b5f5a10 0

The following code works as expected even with your flags and the pointers are clearly not related to one another:

#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdint.h>

int main(void) {
uint32_t *p = ((uint32_t *)0x7fffffffffff3eac)+1;
uint32_t *q = (uint32_t *)0x7fffffffffff3eb0;
printf("%p %p %d\n", (void *)p, (void *)q, p == q);
return 0;
}

So, I would either chalk this up to either 1) "compiler optimization bug" unless a gcc maintainer explicitly gave me a reason to believe to the contrary or 2) getting your underwear eaten by weasels because you optimized after invoking undefined behavior (attempting to probe stack layouts qualifies as undefined behavior in a big way).

My assumption would be that the compiler had to do something screwball that it got wrong because you actually asked for a pointer to a stack object that it had optimized to always be in registers.

IANAL, and I'm not a huge fan of copyright (life plus infinity anyone?), but I disagree with you here.

Seems to me that the judge grossly misused the 4 aspects of the copyright text.

Transformative doesn't apply to the use of the work, it applies to the work itself.

There is no "good faith" use defence against copyright infringement.

The "factual" nature of the photo is a red herring. Yes, the photo is "factual" in the sense that you could go to the same spot, with the same camera, on the same day of the year, and take a photo with the same settings and create a photo with incredibly similar characteristics. That would be non-infringing, because of the "factual" nature of the work. That the work is a photo of the real world doesn't make it immune to copyright.

Previous publication does nothing to diminish copyright.

I also disagree with the "didn't hurt the market" argument here. Thing is, AFAICT, that website is part of the market for the photo. Furthermore, that the website didn't onsell the photo is irrelevant - the website is the copyright infringement.

Seems like a slam dunk appeal to me.
