The brain definitely is able to use not just spiking frequency (which is approximately the same as EEG voltage, though not really) but also spiking patterns to encode information. We've observed some highly interesting phase locked loops showing various higher-order patterns in simulations (we simply don't have fine enough tools to look for the equivalent in the biology).

The variation in neurotransmitters allows for different sorts of activation, typically with different physical parameters (size of activation, time over which it decays) and multiple ways they interact with the other neurotransmitters.

Sparse networks are not understood to anything like the same extent as dense matrices. And another key property that most ML is missing is large numbers of feedback loops. Again, that makes predicting behaviours extraordinarily difficult.

Reminds me of "security expert" warnings in the mass media where every time something happens they tell people effectively the same thing "don't do things unless you know / trust it".

Most people have no clue what they're running and can't possibly take the time to know enough to really have a clue.
I completely agree. In fact the whole residency thing in the medical profession, is an awful, awful, system.
I don't think my insurance would count as "average" but for another reference point I pay $20/mo and the opus copay assistance brings it to $5.
Yes, there are this and myriad other schemes to accomplish the same thing.

This doesn't much help the average customer service worker who struggles to give correct change if you hand them cash in an amount that's not a round number.

Passwords are a thing that need to work for everyone, which means they need to work for the lowest common denominator too, which means the GP is correct to point out that password advice is contradictory: the lowest common denominator cannot both use strong, unique passwords and avoid using some other kind of technology to assist with that.
I'd go further. I'd be much more trusting of running and random JS found on stack overflow than the JS found on your average production environment.

Stack overflow is heavily moderated. I think it'd be a challenge to put something malicious on there which lived for more than an hour or so.

Compare that to your run of the mill PHP shared hosting. I know which side I'd rather take my chances with.

Equality of opportunity is a complex topic that sounds good to everyone but also means different things to everyone. The reason is that opportunities are, themselves, often the result of earlier choices.

For instance, the opportunity for a desirable job may be the result of earlier experience attained, which may be the result of choices about how much time to spend on work versus family or other pursuits.

It gets even more complex when you take this back to the time of birth. Differences among parents represent a huge difference in opportunity for their children. But it's hard to imagine this changing dramatically: parents work very hard to give their children whatever kinds of benefits they possibly can -- social, financial, cultural, educational. If you could ever truly prevent parents from giving their children benefits that not all children have, it would remove almost all of the incentive for most kinds of success, and the consequences would be unimaginable (and probably dystopian).
You shouldn't express points of view through moderation. Replying to the comment is the appropriate way to express differing points of view.
These numbers are so misleading. I understand why they are the numbers published, but AWS vs Azure last time I heard real numbers was approximately a 3:1 market share ratio.

> This . . . fails to account for the fact that many segments of society disagree on what is and is not inflicting suffering on society.

That's fine, we can hash it out. Throwing up our hands at even the concept of ethical judgment is both an abdication of our moral responsibility, and ceding the playing field to the worst among us.

The treatment of Gab is terrifying. It became an easy crux for everyone to publicly hang their disapproval on for easy moral points, and created a chain-reaction where nobody wanted to be the one left holding the bag.
Your two comments don't really answer the question I posed. The first one denigrates it and attempts to outsource the task of answering it to Reddit. The second one is, I guess, mostly a recitation of various things feminists have done or not done in relation to this question, among other issues.
But nowhere do you make a clear statement about whether you would advocate for pushing women into these jobs, and why or why not.
Gab's issue (as far as I can tell) is that they have issues curbing explicitly illegal behavior (such threats of violence).

But your view on free speech as it relates to suffering is nebulous and myopic.

The crux of free speech is this: do we trust people to judge the words and ideas of others for themselves, or do we not?

If you believe that you have the capacity (and responsibility) to judge ideas for yourself, then you must grant other people the right to express those ideas.
> What I do wonder is, what's with all these Americans working themselves to the bone?

It's what happens when economic inequality increases continuously for decades. The slope of the line between the haves and the have-nots gets steeper and slipperier every year. Every year, the bottom end of that line gets ever more grim.

When there are fewer jobs to go around, fewer safety nets for people who can't find jobs, and being unemployed means losing health insurance and possibly dying, yeah, people are gonna hustle. It's awful.
Stop believing feminists when they say they want equality of outcome. They don't - they completely ignore how men die at work at ten times the rate of women, put in more hours, take more competitive roles, and generally tend to make more sacrifices in pursuit of well-paying jobs and careers.

Feminists don't want equality of outcome. They want to point at the fact that women make less money as a group than men in order to demand concessions from society. And as was described elsewhere, when they get these concessions they use them to get what they actually want in practice, which makes the gross earnings gap even worse.

This is a great idea, and one we'll get to once we have enough of a user base. The critical mass requirement for a synchronous "now" experience is much higher than for an asynchronous one, so stage 1 is to build a user base, so that we can support this in stage 2.
Congratulations on solving a real problem. I will absolutely try this.
Thanks for this.

Just FYI it wasn't not super clear how it actually works, i.e. how to get it setup, is it a gmail plugin, or do I have to change my email settings to make all emails pass by you first (which is red flag privacy-wise).
I think there's something to what you say... but I also follow the general rule of politics, follow the money. The developers/RE give the most money and they get what they want where they want it. I kinda hope that the city at least realizes that most housing won't pay for its city services with taxes, but I really think it's more short term money grab by influential people investing Other People's Money. They don't care what happens after they've sold it.

Nobody is pushing for widespread censorship. We are de-platforming specific sites that breed hate, which is our ethical responsibility as a moral species.

But why? It greatly puzzles me how many "consumers" now think in terms of "brands" and dream up and discuss strategies on behalf of them. Companies should concentrate on fleecing customers, and customers should concentrate on not getting fleeced.

How is this the right thing? Or the wrong thing for that matter? There are no utilities, common carriers not governmental agencies in play. This is an entirely contractual matter amongst civil parties. Everyone here is free to say what they want (so long as it’s not otherwise illegal), pursue a contractual agreement and engage (or not) the meta conversation regarding the context of the transaction.

Should this go terribly wrong for one party or another (such as, say, hosting speech that is libellous, threatening or otherwise contravened by law) they can engage in that public meta discourse as well. It will certainly be spoken about without or without them.

This is hardly the right thing. It isn’t the wrong thing either. It’s just a thing that, like all decisions, carries risks and responsibilities.
Ah so discriminating against the posh kid who took a "Gap Yah" is ok now.

Presumably we should discriminate against all 4 year graduates as they took an extra year to graduate's who do it in 3.

For historical context, the iOS/Android Snapchat quality thing was because on Android they would take a screenshot of the preview screen of the camera. As of earlier this year, they're actually using the proper API on Android and so things should look better there.

It doesn't particularly speak to the power of the devices, it was more a way to cope with the spectacular fragmentation of Android hardware.
I see. I was theorizing it cut down on certain circular cruising behavior, perhaps, or the ability to pull off the road to drop off or pick someone up.
Good to know.

I think the writing in this article is not so good, but I've seen this usage by plenty of respectable writers. Stephen Hawking's "A Brief History of Time" is not comically bad writing, and it's full of even more outlandish usages of "million million million ..."

IMHO, it's got more to do with the expansion and change of the Front End developer role, than direct title inflation per se. Now, a front end developer has to maintain consistent behaviour across a panoply of platforms - each under constant change and growth, whereas the scope of actual 'web development' has remained a relatively static. It's becoming less and less realistic to expect one person to be able to effectively handle both roles any more, without making compromises on UI behaviour and compatibility.

Do you really think regular users will do anything remotely close to this? Based on my interactions with normal/regular users, the chance for this to happen at any meaningful scale is zero (0)
I think most schemes also don't have reader macros. How often do you actually use them in CL?

I feel reader macros have the problem that it modifies/extend the foundational syntax. And that can become overloaded really quickly. Normal macros can change evaluation semantics, but not the fundamental syntax. Which makes it easier to navigate and understand in general. Also, reader macros are pretty hard to write in comparison.

Racket has a nice take on them though. Making them more like all new programming grammars, and defining your dialect per file. Even there though, most alternate syntax is for research or fun mostly.
I think we're on the same page. I interpreted "infrastructure" primarily to be social and political infrastructure, not physical infrastructure. Fixing it would undoubtedly need to include greater resistance to exploitation by powerful private interests.

AWS includes their PaaS AWS service offerings in their revenue, no (Cognito, dev tools, Workspaces, etc)? Why wouldn't Microsoft include O365 and Dynamics then?

Raw compute and storage isn't where the money is at long term, it's the lock in value add services (especially with Kubernetes and Hashicorp making multicloud and portability first class).

Sidenote: I have seen A TON of open roles looking for Azure and GCP skills over AWS lately.
At that time scale it probably would be cheaper to wait 10 years and then build it with cheaper faster processors.
It's a bit different in the U.S. in the sense that, whereas in Britain and France most mid-sized cities have decent public transit and municipal services, in the U.S. only a handful large urban centers have these kinds of things.

For example, in Clermont-Ferrand, which is roughly to Paris what Albany is in NYC, there is a well-established tram system that can get you to many places you'd want to go to without a car. This is especially essential if you're low income. Albany in contrast, just has buses (the CDTA), and pretty crap buses at that. The only other city in New York State with anything even remotely approaching the utility of the subway system is the light rail system in Buffalo, which is mostly useless since it only comprises one marginally useful line.

Believe me, as someone not involved in finance in NYC, if I could get the same services I get here in a mid-sized city like Pittsburgh, Cincinnati or Buffalo, I'd strongly consider relocation.
> I'd also say in a healthy society you should be seeing a larger spectrum of ideas and more things you disagree with.

Nothing is gained, by any one or in any sense, by exposure to the idea of (say) antisemitism. I'm not made better or more resilient by seeing it expressed in the open; Jews aren't made better or stronger by having to face it; those who perpetrate it aren't made lesser or more pathetic by having their views "exposed to sunlight". It strictly makes our society worse. We don't need to grit our teeth and endure its presence in deference to the abstract and false optima of "free speech". We can, and indeed are ethically obliged to, recognize it as deleterious to civil society, and use the levers of power that we the people have to quietly, powerfully, and unapologetically say: this is not something that we tolerate.
Carlo, is this the future of Electron?
> What is tolerance nowadays? Is it a moral virtue in the possessor, or is it a recognition of a necessity arising from an equilibrium of parties? It often seems to me that we speak as if it was the first, when actually it is the second. My liberalism admits to everyone the right to his own opinion and imposes on me the duty of teaching him what is best; but I am by no means sure that that is the genuine conviction of all my liberal friends. French liberalism does not convince me that it is universal. I am not quite sure how Frederick Harrison or Cotter Morrison would deal with me if they were in a majority. The possession of a clear and definite ideal of society seems to me dangerous to its possessors. The Mediaeval Church had such an ideal: the result was the Inquisition, which was generally approved by the common con­sciousness.

That’s the thing though - you can be restricted by the constraints due a common carrier or you can take your lumps when you offer a haven for speech that, while free, does not come at zero cost.

No, your moral responsibility is to counter hate with love, understanding, and education. If all you do is burn any words you don't like then you can't win; all you can do is hide the problem.

Errr, i'm really unsure of the point you are trying to make and thus can't actually formulate a response.

Is it: You think they should have had exactly the same experience/path?

Regardless, any of the points i can think of don't really seem that relevant to your original point and my response.

Did you respond to the wrong subthread?
>The law you quoted appears to say it's illegal to discriminate against Unemployed Ursula for being currently unemployed, so she should have the same shot as Younger Yenina and Late Larry. It doesn't say her year of unemployment must be considered equal to Experience Eric's extra year of work.

The argument made prior to this is not that an unemployed person is equal to a continuously employed worker but merely that unemployment should not and cannot affect your qualifications for position X. The law is pretty general as it states an employed person is anyone who does not have a job, is able to work, and is seeking work.

If Eric, Yenina, Ursula, and Larry are all able bodies, placing Ursula in her own category based solely on a gap year is in itself discriminatory.

The parent comments are taking the gap year into account—something that can be elaborated on, but should never be a deciding factor. The general consensus ITT is that Eric automatically is a better fit for position X than Ursula based solely on their employment history.

That argument in itself shows biases toward length of employment and current status, with the latter being something that should be irrelevant in a hiring process.

Edit: to show an example, most job postings on P&G have this disclosure:

>Qualified individuals will not be disadvantaged based on being unemployed.

That one line is what everybody is arguing againat, that unemployment automatically declines your qualifications.
It's what you'll find in non-linear systems. For example: Preferring to not be an extreme minority leads to extreme segregation, since local attempts to resolve the problem make it globally worse:

I switched all of my machines to NixOS for a few months. It was a wonderful experience being able to keep all my environments in sync. Nix the language is one reason I reverted to Ubuntu a few weeks ago. It just didn't mesh well with me....so when the inevitable problem occurred, it was a pain to deal with.

Other pain points:

- the NixOS learning curve is steep. There are two many tools with too many obscure options with sometimes overlapping features.

- small group of maintainers with no real documented security process...just an assurance that they path as quickly as possible

- many packages are old if they're not mainstream

I would love to see the concept of Nix reimplemented in a non-niche language without the fsf zealotry... I'd switch my company to something like this in a heartbeat. I think there's a real business opportunity for someone willing to take that on.
While i agree that loss of biodiversity especially in tropical forests, is a catastrophe, i don't think that keeping a few more insects and birds in our fields helps. In fact it forces us to use more space for agriculture and destroy more of valuable forests.

Also most of the plants we cultivate are invasive species, and their main pests are invasive as well, so we have plenty of opportunities to experiment on this invasive species before before we kill native species in their original habitats.
I understand what you are saying, but the fundamental difference here is that for PKI, the browser has to be configured properly as your key pair must exist and the correct public certificate must be used in TLS negotiation. The advantage here is that the password can be copy and pasted into a password form after TLS has been negotiated.

Coupling authentication with encryption has its place, but I would think that it would work better when accessing a service through an app rather than a browser since the app publisher can create unique a key pair and sign the certificate with their own CA and use that for authentication, but in the context of a web app accessed through the browser copy-and-paste beats having to configure your client certificate per domain at least from a "user friction" point of view.
No, the runtime complexity is just hidden in the scheduler of your OS
Actually, the only two well-known OSS guys that work for MS are the ones you mentioned. Their reputation is far from flawless, in fact for a long time they were considered to be a negative influence on OSS because of their MS-focus.

Seeing you present them as champions is kinda funny...

Microsoft got a bit smarter since their anti-trust days. They saw that giving away OSS kept everyone off Google's back and allowed them to focus on building an immense spying machine.

Now they're applying the same recipe with some success (software people are suckers for OSS trinkets), but they started from such a poor image that it will take a while for all the dirt to wash off.

I'd be really impressed if MS made Windows open source. Maybe that way someone could finally disable that pesky telemetry spyware.

Oracle is all about money and it's obvious to everyone that they're not good guys. The ones to watch out for are the insidious ones like Google or MS.
