> but lupus was called "immune system disorder",

Well, worse than that, even.. it would be like "immune systemism" (with "disorder" being implied). The ambiguity and implication in the article's title is very unfortunate.

As you point out, what the article documents as being treated is not autism itself (which may not even be a single "thing"), but, rather, specific disorders that are strongly correlated with what is identified as autism.

More importantly, though, the treatments all seem (admittedly subjectively) like empowerment and skills training, and less like brainwashing or coercion into "normal" behavior.

"Failure to identify the sources of empirical gains, e.g. emphasizing unnecessary modifications to neural architectures when gains actually stem from hyper-parameter tuning."

I think everyone is looking for gains coming from architecture modification since more power and clever hyperparameter tuning can only go so far.

But given that any of systems requires hyperparameter tuning and that requires a lot of time, it is inherently hard to distinguish between this and novel architectures. If someone says "X worked for me but Y didn't", tuning could always be the explanation.

It seems like one could only really scientifically distinguish two architectures if the hyperparameter methodology was fixed. But that's about the opposite of now as far as my amateur exposure to the field goes.
The malls in Southern California also use machine vision to detect your gender, approximate age, sentiment and unique facial structure through unique identifier tracking. If they have you from your license plate, to when you’re in the mall, as well as any information they can glean from your cell phone signal... yikes. Or at least there was an article some time ago how they were testing it.
When someone accidentally announces an incorrect prefix, they're pretty up-front about it, and try to correct it as soon as possible. It's not something you really see that often either, as you don't change the prefixes you announce very often. Really only when you acquire new IP space. Otherwise, the router config is largely set-and-forget as long as the peerings are up.

So if someone does fat-finger a prefix announcement, it's followed by an email to the IX mailing lists and transit providers with an apology and a quick fix.

It starts to become apparent who made an honest mistake here and there and who's acting maliciously.

Nonsense, it's an asymmetrical market. The Arbys has a standard training regimen and brings new people on board every other month; they fire the ones that don't pull through. For the employee, going to a new employer is a major life change that will happen maybe a dozen times in their life and the training is exhausting work.

I'm generally libertarian-minded but I see the value in California's employee-friendly restrictions on noncompete clauses. I don't see why this shouldn't be extended, as much as possible, up and down the payscale.

Google serves content from a data center near you, others just from 1-2 central servers. You cannot beat the shorter connection.

Well I had a response to that originally but his edits kind of changed how much sense my reply made in response. Here's what I had:

Performance is only one aspect of it. It also reduces code bloat, reducing the program's size footprint. Most tests (yes, I know, not all, but most) should not make it into the final binary users are running. I also don't see what's "hacky" about making a foo.test.cc file when I want an alternate implementation for foo.cc. It seems to be quite a positive and clear way to document the fact that an implementation is only needed for testing, and vice-versa. And not only that, but it reduces compile (& link) times, since you only need to compile one of the two implementations for each use case.
I wonder where we're supposed to go from here. After 9/11 I worried about having something as convenient as Google Maps. Now we have more real-time surveillance and going outside I know I will be tracked and collected and bought and sold to private companies and the government. There's a psychological cost to knowing you're watched/exploited every time you go outside. In the past this was limited to what people might have seen you do in the public view. Now there are large distributed systems in place to collect an itinerary of your movements - even if you're not the focus of a search. I was born in California, and I don't feel like these systems keep me safer. It makes me want to participate in society less. Maybe I'm just paranoid. I wonder what this at scale, alongside other tracking systems, will do - and how it changes our behavior. I feel harmed by this.
> The disadvantage is obviously that creating such's a 'perfect architecture' is hard to do because of different concerns by different parties within the company/organisation.

I think you get at two very good points. One is that realistically you will never have enough time to actually get it really right. The other is that once you take real-world tradeoffs into account, you'll have to make compromises that make things messier.

But I'd respond that most organizations I see leave a lot of room for improvement on the table before time/tradeoff limitations really become the limiting factor. I've seen architects unable to resolve arguments, engineers getting distracted by sexy technologies/methodologies (microservices), bad requirements gathering, business team originated feature thrashing, technical decisions with obvious anticipated problems...
I think a bigger issue is patents.

Designing a decent CPUs without violating any patents is easy. Almost all CPUs today follow design patterns which were established back in the mid 80s and early 90s. All those original patents have now expired and you can sidestep around the newer ones.

Things like GPUs have evolved massively since the late 90s, gaining support for pixel shaders, vertex shaders, moving to unified core designs, gpu compute and establishing new threading models.

And all these things have bled back into the Graphics standards. It would be really hard to design a gpu implementing even a 10 year old standard like OpenGL ES 2.0 without violating any patents.

And it will be even worse with things like pci-e, ddr and networking controllers. You can't design around the patents without breaking compatibility because there are standards enforcing you to follow the patents.

Getch() Broken in VS 15.7 – Visual Studio Developer Community
New functionality, breaking existing perfectly fine and working functionality is a big no.

One of our core services is written in C, it never crashes, it sustains QPS no other service can in the entire ecosystem, why change it to something new unless there is a solid reasoning to it?

I kid you not, one of the companies we integrated with gave us 2 64 Core VMs in their private cloud to run our service. We run 3 instances of our process on each VM along with Redis taking about 60GB of memory in total, with 59.996 MB of memory taken by Redis. And it was written in Go. Apparently, we miscommunicated that we will be using a GC language for this service. They assumed Java and based on their experience allocated 2 64 core VMs with 256GB memory each :D.
> How was the headline not accurate?

Because it does not provide it's readers with an understanding of what happened, purposefully, to create a more sensationalist headline to generate more clicks and likely more revenue through advertising and subscriptions.

First, this is needlessly insulting. Second, it is common knowledge that emissions standards are government regulations (because they are), so titling an article about a car manufacturer about failing emissions standards points _almost everyone_ in the wrong direction.
Yes. this story is. It would not surprise me if there are co-collaborators in CSIRO who came from the Monash programme, or if the WMP has funded this (which is run from Monash).

Verily brought mechanistic sex-sorting of mozzies. The CSIRO has a remit to get IPR into play, its government science for profit (I used to work at the CSIRO btw) and James Cook is right in the heart of the Australian mosquito belt. Maybe Monash is in a different sphere now.

No matter: the groundwork on Walbachia, the fundamentals stem from what they did. The cited 'happened here before' moments in this thread? most of them are WMP initiatives.

What they need to do is get rid of the plastic cups altogether. It’s summer and I’m starting to see more and more plastic starbucks cups in the garbage, as well as littered on the streets.

To me, this echoes an under-emphasized concept when discussing freedom and democracies, and things like free speech in online forums and search engines: the danger of "tyranny of the majority".

It also underscores the importance of true diversity, diversity of thought, which can include forcing oneself to think differently by, for example, working around the communication preferences of the minority.

It kind of does measure the real thing which I'd define as "the strength of addiction" for which the only honest measure is to compare the addiction with what you're willing to give up for it.

If your actions show that you're willing to give up major things in life for that addiction, if you know that it's harming your life but still go on, then you're addicted.

If your actions show that you're not willing to give up major things in life for that addiction and you actually can and do put it aside whenever needed, then you're not addicted.

If you never really had to choose, possibly because it's not harming your life yet, then we don't know and can't know if you're addicted, as it's very subjective and talk/expressed opinion is not a reliable predictor of what you'd actually do.

Furthermore, that's in line with the general understanding of how we distinguish between "simple" conditions, behaviors and genetic differences versus diseases and disorders - the key factor is whether it's causing harm and distress.
Respectfully I submit that this reveals a racial bias that you should reflect upon. Why did your mind go to this case from 15 years ago and not Anthony Levandowski?

Yet his case apparently did not "cause prejudice and disdain" for all the good-acting white American engineers.
>"This is one reason I've stopped playing most games that have any kind of online or multiplayer element. Ones that either have a really strong single player mode or don't engage in these kinds of tactics (see civilization games) have been the ones that I end up enjoying long term."

You don't have to play mainstream if they don't make mainstream for you. You can play niche games or old games.
If you enjoy good games you're no longer the demographic of 'heavily marketed action game #472103' anymore than a person who enjoys good films is the target demographic of 'heavily marketed superhero film #235132345'. This isn't to say all heavily marketed games or movies are bad, but they are targeting a demographic whose primary motivation in purchasing these things has little to do with quality. Consider how mind bogglingly naive the notion of a 'preorder' actually is.

And now think about how publishers view this sort of demographic. This realization is what actually made me drop my disdain for companies like EA. Gaming has gone mainstream. When this happens to anything, the optimal means of monetizing things shifts radically. When you have people that will buy 'artistic products' (as opposed to e.g. - a coffee maker) absolutely blind and will even shell out money to buy products piecemeal, it's hard to be angry about companies taking advantage of this.

All this means is that you're no longer their demographic. In the movie industry this kind of sucks since there aren't thousands of amazing independent films being made. But in the games industry there are! We're undoubtedly going through a gaming golden age right now, so happily step away from the 'mainstream' and consider that the games that fit whatever craving you're having do exist, but it's entirely likely that you've never heard of them before. This is because they don't have those nice 8-9 figure marketing budgets of 'mainstream' games, but also even word of mouth is difficult simply because there are just so many great games.

Txns are just hard in general but mature RDBMS have spent a huge number of man-years on getting it right. After the time I've spent on Couchbase, Mongo, Elasticsearch, I doubt I'll ever use something non-transactional for anything OLTP or OLTP-adjacent. If Postgres or MySQL can't scale up to handle it, make them...or get a new job. Scale is a PITA.
Formal logic is a tool used by computing scientists and that they made almost incredible contributions to. It’s a tool that’s available to other scientists too, and the more rigorously minded ones use it.

For your latter point, it’s a matter of elegance, which is a pretty way of saying cognitively manageable. Think of epicycles vs Newtonian mechanics as an analogy. With enough epicycles you can compute the same result, but Newton’s approach is still a clear scientific advance.

Your point about design is well taken. Any given design is analogous to a theory. So we should aim for the simplest and most cognitively manageable design that satisfies our needs. That’s not literally formalized, but it’s a well established principle with an excellent record.
Theres also browserpass [0], it works great in firefox and chrome as well.

A great great plugin is pass-otp [1], using this I have migrated the storage of all OTP secrets from my phone to pass. And then I export it from pass to my phone. That way I still have my OTP secrets if I loose my phone and don't have to hassle with recovery of accounts just because of loosing the phone. For sure the OTP needs to be changed at that point but still worth it.

It's also worth to mention that browserpass [0] integrates pass-otp [1] so whenever I log in to a page (that has an OTP secret) using browserpass it shows a litle box in the top right corner with the current OTP code that I can copy-paste to the site.

Sorry! That's a risk you have when following comments tightly :)

I'll reconstruct my first take from memory if you have comments on it:

Current CPUs are pretty good at predicting indirect branches, and it's hard to tell beforehand which virtual calls still turn out to be perf problems - and it's wasted effort and a fallible process to attempt their compllete elimination beforehand.
Bobbing dices won't work. Think about it: VR sickness comes from the mismatch of your body _not_ moving, while the visuals show you moving around.

Car sickness comes from your body moving (detected by your inner ear), but if you are not looking out of the window your visuals (reading a book, looking at the phone) show you stationary.
There's a big misunderstanding that open source, in and of itself, is more secure. Time and again this has been proven wrong (remember heartbleed?)

Where open source does benefit is a more timely and fair fix to a reported security bug. A company's closed source implementation may not be in as much of a hurry to fix security bugs if there isn't an immediate effect on the bottom line

Also, how's open source supposed to minimize fragmentation? Desktop Linux has a hundred flavors and even with a standardized ABI, there's no guarantees on a single binary working seamlessly across distros ( which is the reason for this like flatpack to exist)
What Is Task Management? How to Break a Project Down into (Actionable) Tasks
Welcome to capitalism :). The industry didn't change, it's still on the same trajectory of optimizing for profit. Getting ahead by making games more fun, and then making them prettier, were the lower-hanging fruits. We're past those indirect methods now - at this point, more direct methods of optimizing for profit are being applied.

This seems to be a pattern I see in every industry, and with every product. Whenever a market is created, things improve up to some point, and after that they degrade. I wish there was a way to stop this evolution at the peak of quality, before the decay and customer abuse takes hold.
Jeff Bezos certainly wasn't thinking small. We wouldn't know if he chose to start with books or if was he only thinking of selling books, but he chose books because there was a great demand for it worldwide, they were cheap and there was a great deal of inventory available.

You are assuming that microservices must be deployed on the internet, however they can be deployed on another type of network or on a single OS installation, which would prevent them from being completely transparently updated.

Shared libraries can be an implementation of micro services. On a platform (e.g. Android) it can be that a shared library is updated and then all consumers are forced to update.

From my point of view a benefit for virtual calls is toolability. If you have an abstract interface, it’s pretty easy to either directly create mocks for it in the test file, or use sth like gmock. If you go through the link completely different implementation route, you might need to create and link a different library which contains the faked implementation for several test cases. It also works well with pure header code.
