It would be great if that was true. The fact is that you can not copy Haskell in any mainstream language (Lisp gets the closest), and that hurts.

My understanding is that the 'truncation' parameter makes the output of BigGAN more closely resemble the training data set.

Moving the truncation towards 0 will give you more realistic but less varied images, while moving it towards 1 will give you more varied but increasingly potentially nonsensical images.
Keto's easier to stick to though than other diets...it's the only diet that's ever worked for me... and there's a whole subreddit of success stories... So, it's definitely not 'just' a fad diet.

Many ways you could a semester of immunology on this. High a level there are molecules called MHC (Major Histocompatability Complex), or HLA (Human Leukocyte Antigen).
They are very important to the immune system in a number of ways. Any individual has a few sets of these, and there are many different genetic types of these molecules so the differences between any two people can be many. The immune system is even sensitive to their absence, since their down regulation is a strategy for some pathogens such as virus.
Anyway, as the name MHC suggests, this is one way that the immune system detects foreign tissue.
Depends on how tightly coupled you want to be.

Directly exposing your queue to external consumers seems very dangerous.

Having a well defined and well documented REST API for external consumers, and using queues for communicating between tightly coupled services seems like a much better solution.

Psychology’s Replication Crisis Is Real
The article is quite misleading IMO. It cites bunch of studies which directly conflicts with headline and the author just brushes them off. For other studies which mildly agrees with title, author overblows its important. For example, one study says:

standing or walking for more than six hours a day at work was associated with a doubled or tripled risk of needing surgery

Note that it's 6 hours of standing! Also, important to remember that these are correlation studies meaning that surveyors (I refuse to call them "scientists") sends outs surveys and tries to find statistical correlation. This is much different than real scientific studies, i.e., causal studies, where you try to understand cause and effect of your hypothesis.

One of the major issue in sitting all day is pasture management which causes back pain issues. So it's not about getting cardio exercise (that would be silly) but avoiding long term back pain issues.

I started taking Lexapro a few days ago. My psychiatrist and pharmacist went over all the side effects in great detail, but never once mentioned the possible withdrawal problems. I already knew something of them through a friend who's been through that with Lexapro and other similar drugs, but still—not one word from the "professionals".

But the bagels are aesthetically pleasing.
Then you run into the opposite problem: if a video is not popular (which applies to most videos), P2P distribution relies on the uploader continually seeding it. That requires disk space to spare, fast upload speeds (since making viewers wait to start watching the video would be a massive downgrade from YouTube), and an always-on computer of some sort — which, if you don’t own a desktop PC (and aren’t a nerd who already has a NAS at home), needs to be a new purchase.

I’d like to see a hybrid solution that combines the best of both worlds: for “base load”, there’s be a decentralized market to pay for storage and seeding, ala Filecoin; for videos that become popular, viewers would also automatically seed while and after they watch them. Actually, I’d be shocked if there wasn’t already an ICO or two with this exact idea. (Googled it; more like five.) We’ll see if anything actually takes off.

Still, it’s going to take a lot to beat YouTube’s offer. $0 to have unlimited videos stored forever, re-encoded in various quality levels, and streamed to anyone on demand via a fast CDN – with no ads, unless you choose to enable them on your video in exchange for a cut of revenue. And it’s not like that’s only possible because Google’s unsustainably throwing money in a hole. While they don’t disclose revenue or cost figures, rumors hold that YouTube is anywhere from breaking even to already profitable, and it’s certainly meant to be a profit source in the future. It’s a classic example of an economy of scale. YouTube is certainly losing money on the long tail of videos, but in exchange they get all the popular videos on their platform, which make enough money to pay for everything. It’s hard for decentralized to compete with that. Less hard as costs go down over time, perhaps – but still hard.
LinkedIn is such a cesspool of self-promotion and noise. No surprises here.
We have moved to FDB for our messaging platform. We had several options:

a) Rewrite SQL code. In our case we are using Node.JS and all SQL libraries are very very slow. Even replacing one with another is enormous work.
b) Rewrite to a new language. It was also an option since querying Postgres can take 1ms, but parsing response can easily take 100ms+. That trashed our event loop and causes awful latency.
c) Rewrite to high performance NoSQL database.

We picked a last one. In context of a Node.js we were able to write really thin layer on top of FDB that works super-fast and in a way we needed.

In my previous startup we eventually ditched all SQL from our codebase too since SQL databases is just too slow for low latency messaging apps. There are no simple way to shard data, there are always random locks around your database (which blocks connections). Locks are really hard to debug sometimes. How to scale single SQL server? All of this is doable, but in FDB it was basically free.

We migrated to FDB and got almost x100 improvement in latency/performance. And unlike SQL-code that was very carefully crafted we can do nasty things. Like - "hey, let's just pull this key every 100ms and check for a new value" or "hey, let's do it on 10s of instances at the same time?". In this situations Postgres started to consume all available CPU. You can easily creep out SQL with a single instance of your app. We haven't managed this to do with FDB for 1/2 of the cost. We are often in situation when someone commit something with a bug and, for example, started to pull data every millisecond in N^2 streams where N is number of online users. In this situations we just can't see any impact at all on our platform. Just spikes in monitoring.

FDB is wonderful thing - it allows you to forget about optimizing performance of your queries, forget about managing backups and replication. It just works!
Yeah, is like why use python when assembler is just as obvious.

Well, I bet most commenters on here are, like myself, part of a pretty privileged class.

What we can do is spread our own ideas about what privileged people can do to actively counteract the work of selfish privileged people who want more for themselves.

Personally I really dislike that my day job only serves to grow the income divide, and I’m working hard on finding a new job where my work will be open source. In that way, my work will not just be for a select few, but for anyone with the means to take advantage of it.

That is still a select group, but I also advocate for selfless giving of our labor to others. I want to do more than just commit my work to open source, but also to seek out those with less privilege, learn more about what they need, and direct my efforts towards work that is more clearly beneficial to these broader groups.

In short, those of us with privilege can practice selflessness, and use our privilege to help the disadvantaged even if that does not pay as much. I believe I will be happier in the future if I am helping others than if I had a big bank account but only worked to grow the divide.

Oh and a big part is education - I work in robotics and am passionate about mitigating inequality and so I see that building high quality cheap and free robotics educational resources can help avoid a privileged class taking advantage of those who would otherwise not be able to participate in growth due to automation.

What do you think of this?
It's a data access language where data sources are a far secondary concern for the tooling, and it looks like the tooling does not care about access control at all.

I met someone who worked for the kardashians on the show and said they are king, generous and respectful to the staff working their brand. Said that they know full well they are managing a brand and that they are parlaying that as they know it shall run out soon.

They said that the mom is the eagle-eye over the brand and pushing it to ensure max profit for them.

While i wanted to respect that, and i respect the hustle, it just shows that you can go too far with brand exploitation.

The daughter had the brand advanced through high profile sexual scandals (sex tape, personal relations etc)

The fucking dad had a transitional sex change to keep the limelight ( Nobody cares if he "wanted to be a woman his whole life" - thats his business. Not mine and not worthy of attempting to grab attention dollars.

IMO, the kardashian enterprise ilustrates only one thing:

War and societal upheaval never solve the problem of the common man's inequality with the élites.

"Why, of course, the people don’t want war. Why would some poor slob on a farm want to risk his life in a war when the best that he can get out of it is to come back to his farm in one piece etc etc etc"

Or something like that anyway. That was Goering, or Goebels. Don't really remember which, but the point is war and societal upheaval are not tools to solve problems that the common man has with élites. War and societal upheaval are tools to solve the problems that one group of élites has with some other group of élites. The only thing a common guy would get out of it is to "come back to his farm in one piece", so to speak. (And a lot of us might not even get that.)

I mean, frankly, we can live on our farms in one piece without going to war at all. Sure, there are some rare exceptions, usually involving being a minority, where you truly are fighting for your life. In those instances the enemy's stated purpose is not to allow you to live on your farm. But even then, you don't gain equality with the élites if you win, you just get to stay alive.

Fortunately, though, it seems as though the movement-that-shall-not-be-named is gaining some traction through groups like DSA and Momentum, even if it is reformist. I think there's still some hope - he-who-shall-not-be-named is only as such in public discourse, and in the academic discourse (in particular political economy, sociology, critical theory, philosophy, literature and with a good dose in psychoanalysis) he is named by his true name.

I think we ignore him and his work (in favor of sound bites from supporters and detractors) at our peril. There is enough to be critical of in what he said, we don't need to rub out his name over what Badiou called the 20th c. experiments.

>just I'm pretty sure it wouldn't create incentives to keep masses of people less effective than they'd otherwise be.

Self-interested authoritarians always have incentive to keep the population controlled, ignorant, and subdued, to preserve their status. The trouble is that in order to establish something like communism, the populace must cede all powers to an extremely authoritatian government, in which case it becomes inevitable that bad actors will co-opt the system for personal gain, which the "proletariat" will be powerless to legally resist, because of the restriction of rights necessary for centrally planned collectivist society.

See USSR, DPRK, China, Venuezuala, etc.

In becoming absolute arbiters of resource distribution, communism, and extreme socialism, can only exist by removing most of the freedoms that allow citizens to keep governments from being overly tyrannical. This is a sort of emergent progression, and it is a consequence of collective human nature.

Just a disclaimer, I'm not arguing that democratic capitalism is perfect either, especially because similar bad, selfish actors can take advantage of this system as well, especially with regulatory capture. However, at least under this system we theoretically have the ability to vote both by ballot and by wallet.
I would call it "external state". Instead of having the state tightly coupled to the state machine it can be persisted somewhere else.

What are you looking for in that case? I mean, in the absence of previous experience doing the same thing.

The way I look at it, people come into technical security either from operations or development backgrounds, but it's hard to distinguish someone who has the required skills from their years in dev or ops from those who have managed to do their core work so without going into the relevant details; their CVs are going to look pretty much the same.

A hobbyist might have practiced on some CTFs or vulnerable machine challenges, but unless they haven't e.g. won some bug bounties or gotten some CVE disclosures, then that won't be really visible on a job application. If certifications aren't considered relevant by security hiring managers, what is?
David Harvey has a fantastic book on this, "A Brief History of Neoliberalism", it's quite a read but it's very well structured and I'd recommend it to anyone looking to investigate the recent (by this I mean second half of the 20th c.) trends in global capitalism and society.

Another side of this to consider, is that low-skill many jobs today are literally not worth as much as they used to be.

In labor economic there is a very well established understanding that jobs requiring high levels of skill are typically harder to fill hence corporations must pay more to get those individuals.

But the reverse is true, low skill jobs are easy to fill so we don't have to pay as much.

But here's the kicker, many branches of economics focus on technology as a eliminator of work. Basically, two guys becomes one guy and a machine. Eventually a machine might replace both of the guys.

There is an intermediary between a job being automated entirely away though, where a physical human's work loses value. McDonalds for example has been rolling out automated ordering systems so that they don't have to employ as much "front-office" staff. If they keep those on payroll, there job brings much less value to the company than it did prior.

Technology creates skilled jobs (aka maintain the robot) and eliminated unskilled jobs. But technology can also reduce the value-add of another unskilled employee.

What I am getting at is the sad truth that it's totally possible unskilled labor is not worth as much as it used to be.

If we continue to base our salaries entirely capitalistically, maybe these gaps will widen as low skill employees become less and less valuable while high skill employees gain value but less of them are required.

> require users to install applications manually without ensuring dependencies or pre/post installation configuration.

Yet my point is the converse of this: by not supporting those things, it means for something to be well packaged as a tarball, it may not have any external dependencies nor may it have pre/post installation hooks. And that's a Good Thing.

Because why would you need any of these things?

And how can you survive that level of complexity when the thing in question is itself the build tool which is traditionally the thing that we use to handle these complexities?

This may just be "my opinion", but I think my build tool should have packages available which have no further recursive dependencies -- the buck has to stop somewhere -- and it certainly shouldn't need post-install hooks for absolutely any purpose -- what would it use them for? Doing something stateful? That's antithetical to the core of what a good build tool should be doing.
