I’m sorry you had such an intense experience!

I was diagnosed with schizophrneia and Biploar. I found that mdma in a theraputic setting helped me heal the underlying condition and resulted in an elimination of symptoms.

I’ve also had psychosis induced by psychedelics, however I also saw how the psychosis was a result of deeper held beliefs that weren’t serving. The psychosis ended up resolving with a much deeper sense of self and compassion.

That said, with a clear understanding of psychosis, how to work with and integrate it, and a theraputic setting for psychedelic use, folks might want to avoid it.

Psychedelics helped me heal without medication.
Programming is getting better. I regularly use my iPad with a Bluetooth keyboard to hack over SSH/MOSH, and often just use the onscreen keyboard for short edits. Vim is surprisingly usable with it, actually; modal editing is a natural paradigm for a touch screen.

I consider GPs in two ways: hyperparameter optimization (where GPs are a specific instantiation of bayesian optimization) and a powerful non-linear regression method that supports uncertainty via the rich posterior distributions you get with GPs.

However, on the side of hyperparameter optimization, an experiment comparing bayesian optimization to random search with only double the computational resources [0] suggests that BO is not at least 2x better than random search which, to me, means that in practice BO isn't my first go-to for hyperparameter optimization.

On the side of regression, its poor time complexity (you need to invert the data matrix which is O(n^3) and slow in practice with maybe >1000 points) makes it less of a first go-to for me than neural networks, which maybe irrationally benefits from its current "hotness", but also for which there are well-explored strategies for generating predictions with uncertainty [1]. Of course, GPs compare significantly more favorably on the axis of interpretability, since you can get a closed-form posterior distribution for any point of interest, and the manner in which your dataset influences this posterior is transparent.

There have been, however, interesting developments in improving the efficiency of GP regression for large datasets, such as estimating the GP with a reduced and weighted set of data points [2]. The recent Deepmind paper on neural processes is also interesting, as a combination of GPs and neural networks and boasts strong scalability. [3]

The text read like total mumbo jumbo. I have heard about hyperledger multiple times, but I still don't get what's the value prop. Maybe it is just a trap for banks so they waste their time and resources on that, while the real blockchain stuff moves forward elsewhere?

This app changed my life. It's the only one that's actually worked.

Knowing quantitatively that I'm improving in a certain area is a huge motivator (as is knowing that I've stalled).

In the past, when I forget to exercise for a few days I would get down and think that exercising was to changing, time consuming, etc.

Now, I can see that those periods of inactivity are just small dips in an overall positive trend of exercising more.
Regarding the needles my father had kidney dialysis 3 times a week for about 5 years. He had a shunt [1]. They had to switch arms eventually, but his veins held up pretty well.

In comparison, blood doping isn't done on a regular basis such as 3 times a week. And 3 times a week isn't much for a regular heroin addict (who are know to destroy their veins), either.

I'd say there is a slight difference, because nowadays people expect the kids to know how to use those things. Even when I was in high school in the late 2000s, it wasn't expected that kids necessarily be good at computers; especially in the rural South where lots of people didn't even have high-speed internet (and a good portion still don't have consistent internet access at home).

But, now, these younger people, the ones who are increasingly called 'digital natives', are expected to be good with technology, to know how to type and use the basics of technology and stuff. When, really, all they're good at is downloading apps, and really have no clue what goes on/what they're giving up (cue the number of kids who just download the first free VPN program that works on their phone, without a regard to security or what it does to their phone and stuff).
>Is the video representative of texting speed, or is this the fastest human in the world?

From what I understand, he's on the faster end of the normal range.

>Are they making choices that would take effort in a different system, or just clicking the next suggested letter?

With Japanese kanji or Chinese hànzì, there's no practical way to directly input such a large range of characters. Users type a phonetic spelling, then the input method editor presents them with a menu of characters with a corresponding pronunciation. Chinese mostly uses a system of phonetic transliteration based on the Latin alphabet (pinyin), whereas Japanese speakers use both a Latin-based system (romaji) and a native Japanese system of syllabic characters (kana). The flick method shown in the video uses directional gestures to input kana.

For example, if I'm trying to type the Chinese word for bread (面包), I'll input the word as it is pronounced, "mianbao". On mobile devices, a list of predicted characters will appear above my keyboard; on a computer, a numbered list will appear beside my cursor. I select the characters I was intending to input by tapping on mobile, or by pressing the corresponding number key or clicking on a computer. The choice of characters invariably requires some amount of human input, because there are many homophones (different words with the same pronunciation).

This method of text input can often be quite slow and cumbersome, so good prediction and correction algorithms are crucial. The input method is constantly guessing which characters you want; if it's not aware of context, it'll make bad guesses and require a lot more manual selection and correction. Good input method software can predict entire phrases and is very resilient to typos.
The world are always evolving. Nothing sad about this. This is like saying young people can't use abacus anymore. These new generation of young people will grow up and with new kind of input method or paradigim.

Who knows maybe the traditional way of programming with keyboard will evolve to something completely different for the next generation of people.

I'm assuming by 'personal goals' you are referring to the category of goals for life-long-learning, and not "vacation at the cabin this July".

If that's the case, then for me this is the wrong question. To suggest I should try to organize my goals is similar to asking me to graph the neurons in my brain, or catalog my dreams. My objective is to "capture/track my ideas" and aspirations. I work to develop my practical skills for, writing, coding, drawing, reading, recall/findability.

Many ideas prove low-value, or impossible to realize. I simply work to find a way to effectively express my personal ideas in the highest fidelity. If I imposed organization on this mess, I would sub-consciously limit my expressions.

That said, if an idea proves to have merrit, then I devote my time towards definable projects. I hope to complete them in a timely fashion.

I'm not part of a leasure class. I have enough pressure at work, so I don't sweat it. That's my choice.
This or possibly a projec that would attempt to find an common Set of AST definitions that could be serialised & deserialised into most of the common languages, then store source code in this definition rather than any one language, allowing the “same” program to be shown as C#, or java, or F# or python or javascript ... even maybe individual functions... the syntax essentially just becoming a display preference, but the tooling (source control & diffing & static analysis etc) would all work at the AST level

> but still, the goal of high-school is to prepare students for college no

It depends on who you ask. In the school I work at, in the Rural South in America, many parents and students say the goal of high school should be to teach the students how to do a competent job and take care of themselves after school. So they complain about having to learn Algebra II and other "useless" stuff, while they don't even know how loans and interest and debt and such works. Or how to book a hotel, things like that.

School has, basically, become expected to teach students both job training and basic life skills that, a few generations ago, parents and companies would have explained. It's become basically free training, and, honestly, it defeats the purpose of education; universities are the same way.

Thinking Less with Scala – Video from Scalapeño 2018
Hey all, statistician from Optimizely chiming in here. Just wanted to point out that this is exactly the right point.

I wanted to add one detail--there actually are ways to do early stopping while staying within a frequentist approach. For example, most clinical trials methods are not Bayesian but rather are just fixed-horizon tests that have the allowable amount of Type 1 error "spread out" amongst the multiple looks that are planned in advance.

At Optimizely we essentially have a continuous version of this that does in fact allow for multiple looks with rigorous control of Type 1 error. As tedsanders mentions, the key upside is that if you start an experiment with a larger-than-expected lift, you can terminate it early. Then over many repeated experiments, you gain a lot in terms of average time to significance.

The dissonance in this discussion mostly stems from the fact that this paper (which we actually collaborated on!) uses data from 2014, before we rolled out this new Stats Engine.

For more, I would encourage a look at our paper: http://www.kdd.org/kdd2017/papers/view/peeking-at-ab-tests-w...
For what it's worth and graphics on Linux are working great with amdgpu. Their efforts to develop and support open source mainline graphics has really finally paid off. Support is usually mainlined before hardware release now. I don't think "just works" integrated graphics are an issue for either company (Intel/AMD) in general on the Linux front.

That said the amdgpu driver is still relatively new and major changes and improvements are still ongoing but overall it's definitely production stable and for dedicated gpus performance is generally very good.

Not trying to sound like a fanboy it's just nice to see someone else push as hard for open source mainlined graphics as Intel has for all these years.
I think something else is missing here, though. HP had great products, so I don't think that you can necessarily do the "HP Way" in a company where the products that the company makes (or their services) are not seen as valuable and/or worthwhile by the employees.

Curious if they are managed with ME.
I disagree with this. I work as a teacher at a secondary school. Even the wealthier kids, the ones who I know have computers at home, and often their own laptops that they bring to school, can't use a keyboard to save their life. They're always impressed at how fast I can type (I learned from playing MUDs way too much when I was their age) without errors and how I know all the keyboard shortcuts and such.
There are many writing apps available, for example Microsoft Word free edition. One does not have to compose in a text box. Use the app to write it then copy and paste the result.
I do a lot of music right now, because I feel like I have a whole separate emotional energy reserve for that.

If I had more free time though I’d like to think I would work more on the browser I’ve been writing along with other small side projects (d&d charecter sheet validator, open street map renderer etc.) and maybe try to teach myself more math.

I’d also spend more time at art museums and hanging out with my friends though which I’d argue is at least equally important but probably more important.
That's a lot of words that don't really mean anything. Art being subjective means that you absolutely can critique "bad" art, not that you never should. I mean your word salad about "the effect art has on people" is literally saying that, just instead of talking about the art itself you're now talking about it's 'effect' (as if you would ever be talking about something else?)

McMansions are bad art because they have bad effects on the people who live in them and view them. People divide the things that cause good effects into rules and guidelines. This post then talks about those rules and guidelines.

A friend of mine is using Gaussian Processes with ML to fill gaps in time series. He is working on a project for a government agency that analyses data from roadside sensors such as traffic, speed, etc, so they are using Gaussian Process to fill data gaps when those sensors fail.

His group published a paper about it: https://trid.trb.org/view/1496472

He also wrote about it in his MSc thesis but I can't find a link for it.
So people don't think we are raving lunatics, here is the screenshot of the analytics from the app:

So, in this case, over the course of 5 weeks I built up a habit strength of 4x weekly exercise by watching this graph move up and trying to keep my streak. Basically, the app puts hard data behind your daily commitments and helps you see -- quickly -- when you are failing. And ack'ing the success/failure of a commitment is just a single checkbox on a single screen, and it can remind you (with notifications) daily.
I tried implementing a scheme like this once. What you do for efficiency is allocate some extra header space with the array size, and access it with negative pointer offsets. You pass to fat pointers if asked to take slices of the array. This way the common use case has good locality. The way you get things onto the stack is with a macro, which preallocates and initializes the array with the (statically known) array length.
Usually the amortization of such systems is ~ 4 years. But many smaller companies choose to stay with the old systems a little longer, 5, or even 6 years lately. Simply because there is no push performance wise.

The main motivation for upgrade is software support (usually for the OS, driven by Microsoft), or failure rates for the older systems.

And that's for the desktop side. For servers they tend to be taken out of commission when the service they provide is migrated to a whole new platform and the legacy one goes to a better place along with the metal. Servers are more reliable than your regular desktops, they get better support, and most companies don't upgrade running systems.

P.S. I don't know of any enterprise environment where ME is used for managing servers. It's usually ILO, ILOM, DRAC, IMM, RMM. I think ME is mostly for desktops or SOHO, Intel has RMM for servers.

I can’t say I agree. I started freelancing in a brand new (to me) industry just 2 years ago with zero contacts and have been doing alright. I think a lot depends on your attitude, work ethic, desire to learn and self improve. Being nice and authentic with everyone you engage with is probably helpful too. I didn’t know anyone in the states and I certainly don’t know anyone in my country and it hasn’t been a deal breaker.
I feel the biggest issue with owning a house is the amount of debt recent college graduates are already in. If I didn't have my student loans hanging over me, I would've totally gone and bought a house, or built my own (everyone in my family has built their own, pretty much, so I have a wealth of knowledge to draw on thankfully). But, I can't afford it. I feel that's part of the issue with many people choosing to pay rent over building. Not to mention trying to save so you have a decent down payment size.
