But remember, if you are skeptical about global warming and the conclusions from these datasets, you are a "denier" of science. Hmmm I wonder if given the choice of "come to the conclusion global warming is happening and we will fund you" or "come to the conclusion global warming is not happening and find funding elsewhere" I wonder what choice the average person would make. How hard would it be to massage the data and "proove" what the organization funding you wants you to believe?

Yes, I understand. I grow about 25 varieties of apples, some of which are extremely unpleasant to eat, but have been selected over centuries to be perfect for jams (crab apples) and cider making.

While a random specimen on an island in a lake is indeed most likely a seedling, my point was that assessing the quality of an apple is more nuanced than noting if one fruit at one point in time tastes nice.
Botox is a refined form of one of the most lethal substances to humans, it is a poison, and most of all it’s not a recreational drug of abuse commonly smuggled around the world. You also can’t absorb it through your skin like fentanyl and carfentanil. Brief contact with botulinum toxin won’t kill you, but brief contact with a rice-grain sized particle of carfentanil can and will.

Dropped out of college. I had an intro programming class once.

In terms of education, I'd probably say my highest achievements are just knocking out all the undergrad math for engineering and taking a few grad level classes. I really loved math and Linear Algebra and ODE specifically.

Job-wise I went from: Student web dev -> Mediumish Ecommerce -> a couple startups doing some fun distributed computing -> Ad-tech -> platform level proxy/loadbalancing/edge compute for a big company.

Title at most jobs was either software engineer maybe senior. Held a couple director jobs that were glorified team leads. Currently, have a Principal title.
Starcraft 2 is the gold standard of competitive play. It was chosen as Google AI's next big project for a reason, as it combines the best elements of chess, poker and piano playing.
Having said that, an incidental 1 lead EKG on a wrist that can be brought up to your primary care and cardiologist at a later date is a game-changer. In clinical practice we will often use a Holter monitor (4 lead wearable EKG) to look for paroxysmal atrial fibrillation, but having a passive monitor such as this on for months at a time will help doctors have more information regarding tachycardias like atrial fibrillation. I disagree profoundly with the assessment that the Apple Watch is just a glorified fitbit. (Source: medical resident)

> Who are you accusing of lobbying here?

AcelRx, the pharmaceutical company that produces and distributes DSUVIA. You understand how lobbying works right? Even if the Department of Defense is advocating for the use of a drug, they don't have any input on the safety of whatever they are advocating for. This is the role of the FDA. AcelRx happens to have something that the DoD wants so they lobby for its approval. In this case, DoD, FDA, and AcelRX are all different parties but is clear that AcelRX is the only party that will benefit financially from this.

Just from an anectodical perspective, so you can understand how this works, check ACRX stock closing price today. It closed 16% up today.

Just because the DoD is advocating for this drug, that doesn't mean that there's no pharmaceutical lobbying behind this. By that logic then all defense contractors and weapon manufacturers wouldn't have to lobby as much as they do.

I loved VS, having used it since it was MSVC.

The UX of VS2013 was the tipping point for me. And they removed macros. Dropped setup projects with no real upgrade path. The direction it moves is what benefits Microsoft.

And the cost has become unjustifiable, now that it's no longer a "must have".

Do you disagree with either of these?

1. In popular news coverage, or doctors talking with lay patients, the term "power" or "strength" of an opioid is shorthand for it's potency on normal (non-addicted) patients. That is, it is inversely related to the number of milligrams that must be administered to get effective pain relief for some fixed reference injury.

2. The potency of a drug is only weakly correlated with its potential for addiction. There are several opioids that are less potent than average but have a higher propensity for addiction than average, and vice versa.

Answer: Because there's a history of Goldman Sachs executives going from Wall Street to Washington DC (Government) taking up top positions - ex: Paulson as Treasury Secretary - so they can create and change Laws to suit their business.

In short, it's like a Thief who gets himself appointed as the Judge for his own Trial.

It's simple:

We stop publishing in papers, and instead adopt smaller chunks of our work as the core publishing units.

Each figure should be an individually published entity which contains the entire computational pipeline.

Figures are our observations on which we apply logic/philosophy/whatyouwannacallit.
Publishing them alongside their relevant code makes the process transparent, reproducible and individually reviewable,
as it should be.

We can then "publish" comments, observations, conclusions etc on those Figures as a separate thing.
Now the logic of the conclusions can be reviewed separately from the statistics and code of the figure.
Very interesting study. I'd love to see a follow up on 2 things:

1) Did the statisticians refuse or comply with the request?

2) When they refused, how did the requester react? Were the requesters actually malicious, or just bad at statistics? If everything was fine once the statisticians explained that removing "just an outlier" wasn't a valid option, then this report isn't quite as concerning, and is maybe just an indication that more researchers need to hire statisticians to help them out.
Is that a pun?
Historically we have favored a more expansive approach than you may be aware of.

Nothing built on X does mixed DPI well, because X itself (in most configurations) treats multiple monitors as simple viewports onto a single screen. A single screen with multiple DPIs doesn't make sense virtually any more than it does physically.

Wayland is supposed to help with this, since it has a more modern take on screen virtualization (a la Windows or Mac). Getting all the user software to work on Wayland (via XWayland) is a nontrivial ongoing task. I'm not sure what Gnome Shell's state of affairs is w.r.t. Wayland, but I do know the ecosystem missed the boat with Ubuntu 18.04, which elected not to make Wayland the default due to stability and usability issues. So it might be a while before a major stable distro makes the move.

These are broadly addressed critiques with potentially large rewards for discovering/verifying notions contrary to the prevailing understanding.

In other words, the incentive to just go-along if one has evidence to the contrary is low relative to the opportunity cost.

In even less words: money can be made if strong counter evidence to these topics can be verified.

Conclusion: its unlikely that these examples are really areas of hidden wisdom that runs counter to prevailing understanding.
> but somehow quaternions seem more likely to make me think, yeah I'll eventually get around to that

There was no way in hell I was clicking a link like that, but I guess I'm just not the target market since it's clearly been working very well on other people.

I'm sad to say this, but today's GNOME is a complete shitshow.

Fedora's default gnome is completely unusable.

It's like if GNOME developers wake up in the morning and wonder: "how can we prevent our users from doing their jobs today? What useful feature can we drop this month? What fully functional application can we replace with a half-assed 200 LOCs one?"

I am not surprised though: has anyone tried learning gtk programming recently? Unless you learn to use the C library first (and before that, the GObjext library), it's nearly impossible. There's, for example, a nice python 3 tutorial and it covers the basics nicely. However it fails completely to answer the question "how do I continue on my own from here?".

The most important issue however is that it's been like this for years and GNOME developers don't even acknowledge this. GNOME 3 is so bad that people took the effort to revive, update and keep using GNOME 2 in the form of Mate Desktop. And Mate Desktop is a major player in the DE space.
In my personal experience physicists are usually rather pragmatic about these things. Not many will support a "project of moving to geometric algebra" for its own sake, or the sake of perceived mathematical elegance - I know I wouldn't, even though I spent some time studying it just for fun. On the other hand, find a problem where geometric algebra gets you to a useful insight in a quicker or more natural way and few will object to treating it in that language.

For most of the usecases associated with the examples you mention - Pauli and Dirac algebras - I don't think it matters very much. For instance, I haven't seen a decent QM course that doesn't devote at least a lecture or two to discussing the origin of Pauli matrices and the associated abstract algebra and group theory - as they should - but I don't think the course would be any more concise or useful (in terms of the physical content) if it then proceeded to treat QM in the language of geometric algebra. There's nothing wrong with the matrix representations (especially in a more computational context), though obviously one should know where the representation comes from and how to derive it.
Then use VS Code?

But as a .NET developer of over 15 years now I disagree. VS Code is currently using 1,200 MB of ram on my machine while Visual Studio is using 1,700 MB. I have a much larger project open in visual studio. Out of the 64 GB of ram on my machine, this isn't even a factor. What kind of machines are you running on where this is actually a problem?
Thanks for posting this, it's incredible work!
Well, it’s not like what they were doing was legal and there’s nothing that can be done about it. In fact, America’s aggressive anti-bribery laws seem to be semi-working here with some folks slated to go to jail. I saw semi-working because they didn’t prevent it in the first place.

I don’t know if you can sketch a broad condemnation of capitalism based on this case. After all, the opposite party was a government owned fund.

What’s interesting to me is how susceptible to bribery government affiliated programs are. I guess it’s a combination of lots of money being handled by people who are not officially compensated very well. These kickback stories never seem to involve big companies bribing other companies. I assume that’s because of stricter controls and less incentives for those on the receiving end of a kickback.

I hate listing credentials in online forums, but as someone who lost two grandparents to painful cancer, yes opioids are useful medicine. Additionally as someone who lost 2 cousins, a best friend and more than a couple acquaintances, there is a very real issue with opioids, and "a hobby of choice" is _NOT_ all a person needs. I'm extremely glad you kicked it, but please don't anecdotally shrug off an issue that is currently killing young people at an unprecedented rate. My home town looks like it had a draft for a war that was lost terribly - there are no young people left, we either fled or died.

So antimatter warps space in opposite way that matter does? Then you’d probably then need a negative-Earth-mass amount to counteract the depth of the earth-mass caused gravity-well we’re in.

That happens, a lot. Not only statisticians.

My friend was half way over her 5 years vesting with a startup as when the CFO asked her to help then improve their numbers due a foreseen investment round. The idea was basically bump revenue basing it solely on the GMV masking returns and not calculating discounts and shipping. They also wanted to hide running costs by forcing vendors to agree on a 90+ days billing cycle, they also pushed the CTO on turning off parts of the system during weekends and holidays and forbid PTO until the deal was closed.

She refused doing the number masking and was asked to leave.
You should double-check it again every few years. User behavior around forced signups is not constant.

In the early 2000s at Rent.com we found that forcing an email address to get content gave us a great conversion rate, and fit our business model. But over time people came to be less and less willing to hand over email addresses, and more and more convinced that equivalent content was available elsewhere without the prospect of spam. Our conversion rate therefore slowly slid.

A decade later the conversion rate slid so much that Rent.com eventually abandoned its business model.

"Fake it til you make it"
As amazingly plausible the pictures look, I personally have some dislike towards such applications (nothing against the author of course, just about ML in general) because I always feel a bit as if I'm being duped by the neural net. When I see image restoration, I'm subconsciously expecting historical fidelity even if I'm just marveling at the nice colorization. But of course such historical accuracy is not the primary goal of the GAN.

Maybe another cool avenue to explore would be combining models like this with some NLP approach that parses a historian's rough description of how the scene should be colored and biases the generator with prior information that way. (Maybe related to visual question answering or something.)

Many on the leave side would (and did) say that while the EU/EEA has succeeded in lowering some barriers to trade between EEA states, it has at the same time (1) raised new barriers to internal trade within some EEA states and (2) maintained or raised new barriers to trade between EEA states and states outside the EEA.

This is particularly stark when new member states have acceded and as a result new tariff barriers put in place, as was the case when the UK joined the then EEC (this caused significant damage to the UK's relationship with New Zealand, for example).

But it's also true in the way that the EU/EEA views product regulations and standards, which (many would contend) have a protectionist effect. One example commonly cited in this regard is REACH.

Many leave campaigners expressed a desire to deregulate in these areas in order to lower barriers to trade in ways that were not possible within the EU/EEA, as well as to lower tariffs unilaterally post-Brexit. I don't think it's fair therefore to say that Brexit damages "lower barriers to trade" - it really depends on what kind of Brexit there is whether that's true or not.
