It's certainly dangerous with regard to cognitive bias, but I have backing from an excellent doctor who has noted my results experimentally, so I am convinced of what I'm saying.

edit: I would also stress that a lot of things that many of my former doctors were skeptical about were mere symptom reports. I think I would know when my intestines hurt, yet some doctors acted like this was malingering, or a "panic attack" when really I have food allergies (but they wouldn't know that since they gave up from the get go).

I ain't no english major, but everyone I know in America uses the "Two negatives resolving to a positive" form of english [0]. I'm pretty sure Australia is the same as I actually had this funny code review a few weeks ago which involved flipping an if statement based on a triple negative which unsurprisingly caused a bug. One of the guys in Sydney approved it, then unapproved it because he thought the original if statement was right, then realized the fix was right and approved it again while commenting that we should fix this horribly confusing function.

"This summer, I will again work (amongst other things) on a “memory model” for Rust/MIR. However, before I can talk about the ideas I have for this year, I have to finally take the time and dispel the myth that “pointers are simple: they are just integers”. Both parts of this statement are false, at least in languages with unsafe features like Rust or C: Pointers are neither simple nor (just) integers.

I also want to define a piece of the memory model that has to be fixed before we can even talk about some of the more complex parts: Just what is the data that is stored in memory? It is organized in bytes, the minimal addressable unit and the smallest piece that can be accessed (at least on most platforms), but what are the possible values of a byte? Again, it turns out “it’s just an 8-bit integer” does not actually work as the answer."

The Carbon Engineering story is interesting, because it politely but firmly shows an earlier claim from an APS study about the economics of direct air capture was just bad. The APS study made some bad engineering choices and other mistakes and wrongly concluded DAC would have to cost $600/ton of captured CO2.

To be fair, I snuck out from time to time and rarely missed school. Those things dont really go together like you imply. Missing school has totally different consequences and besides, I never really found school useless. I even took AP classes.

Some kids skip school. I did... twice in my school career. I imagine some kids would still skip school, but there is no real reason to think it would be higher than it is now.

Hmm... there is no doubt about the sensor input, the elephant is there. The issue is with precision and accuracy of the model itself.

Edit: I need to rephrase, the interesting case for me ( and the one the article is describing) is when the model fails with accurate input data due to assumptions that are intrinsic to the model itself.
I found the paper linked inside the article very interesting. It explores (one possible) meaning of negative and rational types. I'm still going through it:

Correct, this was about swallowing errors instead of rethrowing/handling.

Checked exceptions are good if you want to be sure your caller does something when things go south. Some examples from my experience:

* Most things that should be told to the end user, i.e. Business Exceptions. E.g. a webshop user tries to buy something but your stock has been emptied why he was deciding if he should buy or not.

* Follow-up after a modification: If you wrote half a file, you can delete it in your catch IOException instead of letting it linger around. My company has a tendency to pick up and process any file found in an output directory as soon as you release the file lock. But just not filling your disk is good enough for me as reason.

First company if I had chosen to exercise when I left maybe 10k. A second company I chose to give up 5k in salary to get some shares which I opted not to exercise when I left. Now, I follow these rules:

1) optimize for cash. Stock is cherry on top.
2) if weighing two offers the one with RSUs should be weighted more. No "handcuffs" needing to pay to exercise if you leave.

Number 2 is referring to later stage private company. I haven't worked at a company where strike price is pennies or whatever, or a public company where you can sell at time of exercise. Then handcuffs may be worth it.
...you run goss during the process of developing your ansible roles.

Ansible roles are code. Goss allows you to test that code well before you're attempting to create real systems. Real systems include dev/acceptance envs where you're launching your application.

The value isn't in "Did this specific run of ansible work?" but earlier in the process --"After I made changes to my ansible role, does it still meet my requirements?"
octopodes. so misunderstood.

but in all seriousness, language is a social construct. If someone says “octopuses” and everyone understands that they mean “more than one octopus”, then the communication was successful. And if enough people use it, then we’re looking at a successful new word. For better or worse.
> simply requiring a way to go back and spend more effort later when required

Present neural nets have no "more effort" or "less effort" knob. For the same input they always produce the same output.

The article says a different thing: humans rerun the "algorithm" again, but this time with the knowledge that something was wrong in the previous run (lets say color), and this knowledge will tweak the way it runs again, maybe even running a completely different algorithm the second time (a network more specialized in color but which is worse at shapes)

That's probably part of it as well. In a lot of ways (and probably only partly because it's become so much more expensive), college feels like it's become a much more serious business for a lot of families. I never did any test prep other than what we did in class in high school and I never even visited my eventual college until I arrived on campus for orientation. It feels that for a lot of families college is now something to be managed a lot more carefully--which of course creates expectations for how institutions take care of their charges.

As a teenager I would hate you for that :). Part of the reason I seem to be wired for night life since my teenage years is probably because that's the time everyone else is asleep, giving time to think, concentrate, enjoy experiences without interruptions, and generally not be interrupted by other people's random nonsense.

How would it make it easier? the rules for attendance would be the same. It is already fairly easy to skip school, especially if there is an open lunch or you
can forge a parental note. You can also set up classes in a way that doesnt allow for more than 30-60 minutes between classes, allowing relaxation in common areas and the library, for example. Or allow more freedom as kids age.

Just because it is "more like college" doesnt mean it is an exact replica.

Most Americans would find a job loss to be a total financial disaster. This gives employers the ability to be as authoritarian as they want, more or less. Toe the line or be out of a job (and lose health insurance, possibly risk homelessness, etc.) is a powerful coercive mechanism. In many states, people can be fired for political activity outside of work.

I had a series if RAZRs before Palm based phones were a thing. I did enjoy them greatly and carried them on a belt holster that was more convenient in my mind than the pocket that now houses my modern phone.

Despite the article’s claim of how revolutionary this phone was, it always felt like an evolution of the Motorola StarTAC to me. I purchased the first one of these, it must have been 1997-1998, and I recall paying $1,200. It had literally unlimited battery life because it had two separate batteries, one on each half of the clamshell, and you could hot swap them while on a call. Various sizes were available. They could be charged faster than they ran out and I carried a spare or few with me.

Granted it had just a (I do not recall now) one or two line dot matrix display and a limited feature set (there was messaging but I do think it predated SMS). But to me that StarTAC was the innovative phone and not this RAZR.

I love how dynamic and interesting the cell phone hardware industry used to be. Now every phone announcement usually elicits boredom from me. Of course, the same could be said of computer hardware in the 80s and 90s, and CPU architectures, etc. The world has seemed to converge on one or at most a few designs of most things hardware and real innovation seems to come at a much slower pace.

First they were designed to mimic nature, then these patterns (gabor filters) astonishingly automatically developed themselves via backpropagation (which gave rise to the recent enthusiasm).

You realise that the overwhelming majority of the weight in a rocket is fuel, right? The empty mass of the Saturn V first stage is 130000kg while its gross mass is 20 times more.
Obviously a rocket designed to go to mars needs to carry much more fuel.
The strength of a rocket is given by the lifting force that it can produce and 61.8MN of BFR is almost double the 35MN of Saturn V. And if we look at the second stages the 14MN of BFR are almost triple the 5.1MN of Saturn V.
You are not educating at all, you are knowingly and deliberately spreading lies and misinformation. The pure and cold numbers that I posted instead are facts.
One language where you can get a proper segfault. C, C++, maybe Rust. Knowing C is always good as it’s fundamental to many other things.

Python. (because ML/numerics/data science/web servers/various automation tools) Then again, to understand CPython you need to know C.

One functional language, to know how it works. Maybe Haskell, or Ocaml, or F#.

JS is always a bonus these days I guess, but it’s more about knowing browser stuff than the language itself.

In the real world you wouldn't need to know the exact shape of an object to determine what it is, unique features could be enough. For an elephant this could be just a range of skin colors that are unique to elephants.

The problem with videos and images vs. the real world is the fidelity, you can't trust images or videos that are previously captured through other equipment. This barrier wouldn't exist if the AI can "see" into the real world, the skin colors of animals can be trusted there!
Actually the artificial neural networks used for vision tasks are not so different from our visual cortex, there's an interesting Nature paper on this:

S-expressions are just the lowest common denominator of programming language syntax and more generally trees (aka lists of atoms and lists).

The idea is that all program listings are essentially just lists of things, including other lists: A Javascript source file can be thought of as a list of lines, or more semantically a list of statements and expressions. Function calls are just the name of a function and a list of arguments. Each different kind of statement or expression has its own kind of syntax: a `function(baz) { yadda(baz); }' expression uses different syntax than a `if (something) { yadda(foo); } else { blah(bar); }' statement. S-expression languages just use one kind of syntax for everything, so you can do `(lambda (baz) (yadda baz))' and `(if something (yadda foo) (blah bar))' instead.

This uniformity of syntax allows most of the interesting features of lisps, like that everything is an expression (returns a value), and macros, which are kind of a souped-up version of C preprocessor `#define's.

I wouldn’t recommend anyone to use this. Other than really poor implementation and quality of the algorithms (some of which are totally incorrect), code in that repo is anything but Pythonic - reimplementing a lot of things from the standard library, not using list, dict and set comprehensions, using indexes instead of iterators, copying things around for no reason etc. They didn’t even care to use linter to PEP8-ify it.

I'm not sure why you're being downvoted here - I think there is substantial truth to the idea that Italy had historically (under the Lira) run an economic model where it devalued its currency to offset poor total factor productivity growth. Within the Eurozone it is no longer able to do that but has not been able to improve productivity growth rates either.

This leaves lowering wages (at least in real terms) as the pretty much the only remaining way to offset low productivity growth in comparison with its industrial competitors. Unfortunately wages take much longer to adjust downwards because its very difficult to tell people to take a pay cut (over the long term the only way to do it on a large scale is to give low/no pay increases for seniority).

In the mean time, returns on investment fall and one suspects a partial downward spiral has developed as a result, where lower returns attract less capital and less capital investment leads to further poor productivity growth.
Also, we are writing modern english, not ancient latin or greek, so the anglicanised form is fine anyway, as it isn't a sudden neologism looking to find widespread use. Rather it is the common natural pluralisation of octopus in english.

I think it is more of an evolved response to predation. You need people awake to watch for threats. Teenagers could do that while adults tend to young kids etc... young kids and grandparents tend to awaken early etc... adults too wake earlier as they age so you reduce the threat window.

In asia, especially in rural areas, it is common to wake up early, between 5:30 and 6:00 and do a lot of things, including playing football, before reaching school at 9 am. And, you see, they are perfectly healthy and smart.

This is not necessarily censoring science. A prediction on the basis of theory may or may not turn out to be correct.
