Well it’s a range of things, this week it was a SAP update that changed the necessary flow because the render speeds changed in the SAP ui.

A month ago it was a change to the invoices from a specific company.

Every week it’s the business noticing an edge case, or something that could be better. We pile these up, but you’ll rarely have a RPA process that handles 100% so there is an never ending race to get closer and closer. ;)

In one of our processes that handles a major process related to payment, we were able to automate the work of two financial workers, but the cost was that it required a new RPA worker to handle the errors, and a RPA worker is more expensive than two financial workers. It was still a gain, because the RPA worker also does other RPA things, but it’s a good illustration of how terrible RPA is at automation compared to the other tools in the toolbox.

Of course, child porn is easier to identify. For a human eye.

Also, in case of Apple and their App Store it’s not only CP, it is all kind of NSFW content that has to be filtered out. And that can be nuanced.

It appears that for now the filter mechanism is simple: the content is scanned against known database of bad stuff. So, a twist on a Content ID.
It's maybe not up to Google/FB/etc standards, but given my experience level and the company's size at the time I considered it generous. It was equivalent to ~2 years worth of the offer's salary at today's price.
I subscribed. Like it. But stopped using it.

I find Nujabes "homework edits" on YouTube far better for focus and productivity.

>>But the reality is that saying poor people should "just move someplace cheaper" is basically a classist assumption that lack of adequate income is the only thing that matters in their life and their life can be boiled down to that one detail and that one detail should be the sole deciding factor in all their life choices. You would never suggest such a thing for someone who wasn't destitute.

Like the saying goes, beggars can't be choosers.

Economic necessity has forced me to do very difficult things in my life. That's what people do, because becoming a burden on your family and the rest of society is a failing in every way.

Seeing the homeless gather with their buddies to smoke crack, and loiter all day on some street corner, while living and buying drugs at the taxpayers' expense, while people I know work back-breaking jobs at low wages, strikes me as a total injustice, brought about by people who manipulatively employ the victim narrative to perpetuate the current paradigm.

Life is tough. It doesn't get less tough when you redistribute the pain to make it more levelled. It just makes it less fair, by severing the link between responsibility and consequences, while creating unsustainable dependencies that will turn out badly for everyone involved in the long run.
You should try out Nujabes. His jazz-hip-hop combination works great for focus
Anecdotally, use the brave browser to look for hotels and flights. Since it blocks tracking I’ve heard you will see lower cost flights (I’ve also heard the converse that searching with iPhone/safari may result in higher prices.)

Bizarre how they think it’s ok because it was fixed.
The entire sweeping consequence of citizens united was to vastly increase the amount of money in politics, now hidden behind the free speech rights of corps. Corps should not be considered people. all this did was provide a mechanism for very wealthy people to influence politics and hide it much better than before. can you possible claim this is a good thing?

I am on AT&T. Gigabit up and down. But DirecTVNow being flakey on the same WiFi network on the Roku but not on iOS devices (iPhone/AppleTV) doesn’t make sense.

I also noticed it isn’t the same stream sent to Rokus as it was to the AppleTV. The timing would be different.

Riveting.
Note that PG&E is being held liable under current law for fires started at the site of it's equipment. Regardless of whether or not PG&E was at fault due to lack of maintenance. So when PG&E is found liable then the public and media often conflate it with being at fault. Two different things.

I definitely did not mean to target Instagram. We have a general problem of open source funding, and something like Django having this problem is disheartening.
The weird thing to me about flying on Thanksgiving (I don't observe it) is how sorry the air staff is for me "of you have to miss out on fly on thanksgiving"). While they have to work on that day and apparently it matters to them!

Since it matters to them I thank them for their concern. But it's really simply an easy day to travel if I have a reason to.
There may be shady behavior about data, but as I read it, the missing computers in the story were his, not the company's.

This was my line of reasoning as well. You can't tailor an entire business around the 1% of cases where a sheep herder in Asia and a multimillionaire from Texas really hit it off.
In a corporate IT environment this is a cheap way for IT professionals to augment local skills especially for high-level strategy and planning. I always found it useful to quote from Gartner reports in internal reports -- an easy way to summarise an issue.

You do need to push past the buzzwords and it needs to be used with some care by non-IT people who cannot always see the corporate implications of some recommendations.

Gartner conferences are also good value.
I am likely mistaken, but my impression was that that quote was after arguing that we cannot really refer to certain things in a coherent way, and that the quote advocates that we therefore do not attempt to do so. How far off am I?
What are Durable Functions?
I'm not saying its not possible, but the list of aggravating factors and even the definition of romance or love would all fall into the equation and quickly turn the service worthless. If a significant user base can find what they need with the minimal and most topical filters it wouldn't make sense to dilute it any further.
You've missed the point entirely. It's about software support (or lack thereof), not how the computational power progressed through the last decade.
" XXXX had a very high salary that was paid for by hidden people. "

Ask HN: How can I learn to use logic, reason and critical thinking practically?
I am currently looking at 2 courses to study logical thinking and reasoning

1. Introduction to Logic: This teaches Propositional, Relational and Herbrand logic

2. Think Again:This is a 4 part course that teaches the following:

How to Understand Arguments

How to Reason Deductively

How to Reason Inductively

How to Avoid Fallacies

Since these courses are academic, how can one start using this knowledge practically?
that should be your startup idea! "automate that boring civil engineering design with the agi 5000".

I was just going to say the same thing.

It works even better when you play up to a small group's beliefs. Or even better when you confirm something a larger group aspires to, but wants an excuse to get out of.

The bike lanes video is the perfect example.

- It plays to the belief of bikers that the city doesn't care about them and keeps ruining bike lanes. "SEE?! How difficult it is to be a biker in NYC? This is what we deal with everyday!"

- It plays to the belief of people who want to be bikers (it is a healthy hobby after all), but want a convenient excuse for it. "SEE!?! This is why I don't bike - there are obstacles everywhere!"

There's something of the hero/martyr complex in there as well ("I'm a hero because I bike to work despite all the obstacles")

Same with the iPod video. It confirms the biases of the Apple haters (and there are plenty of them) as the company being closed and anti-consumer.

Well the assumption is that AI will be able to learn similar amounts of knowledge from access to the same amount of data as a human would. That is of course totally wrong for almost all problems for today's algorithms, but that might change in the future. Alpha Go for example improved a lot by playing against itself without outside input.
That is a wrong analogy. If you are a retailer competing with Amazon you should be building a competent tech team in-house with some external help if need be rather than relying on fuzzy reports to choose vendors. This is a quick-fix and makes it easier for vendors to fool you (knowing you have no tech competence). Don't reinvent everything but at least be competent enough to choose which supermarket to go to, which veggies to eat, which detergent/battery to use.
So the headers and such indicate that it was indeed sent by Amazon, however no one on Amazon support can verify this as it was also sent to the Security Team according to their email response. There is no news at this point and its most likely to be in some tech articles tomarrow. Keep a look out and comment anything you may find.

the living vicarious value is huge. it's not just "wouldn't have the guts to do" though. it is about not having the wealth, time, energy, or ability to do. his video portrays a life of a wealthy man who gets to have fun and behave like a kid. a dream that appeals to many people.

In flood plains you are required to buy insurance, in some parts of the us. It seems reasonable to determine fire risk and require insurance if you are in a 50 year burn zone, though determining that is probably the rub.

I'm not referring to this guy specifically. I'm not sure I like him but there's nothing wrong with working for some arbitrary non-profit and taking whatever salary.
So you agree there is room for them to work on this, yet you feel they are making engineers generally look like cultists?

Maybe you’re just being oversensitive. The hype wave on AI danger is completely over, and there’s nothing wrong with people studying the question if that’s their interest.

It's just another way to celebrate American Exceptionalism. We have among the highest prices for data, and companies have free speech. Yay?
Ha that is interesting, but does that really apply to our fake news problem nowadays? Let's say a fake news site creates an article "Obama died in a hospital visit 3 weeks ago and was replaced by a robot."

Should we now make 150 different websites that spread 150 slightly different versions of this, who would gain from that?
I'm just thinking out loud.
Oh I think your point is that one of those 150 links would have to contain the truth and the rest of the 150 would slowly edge towards it. Kind of like this:

"Obama was injured and then replaced by a robot"
"Obama was injured and then was given robotic implants to heal"
"Obama was injured and given a pacemaker"
"Obama visited the hospital for a routine checkup, minor cold revealed"
"Obama did not visit the hospital 3 weeks ago, he was at a campaign rally"

Would you really say that you have helped the internet/humanity if you did that to every fake news link?
Even if this is so sophisticated that it autogenerated new domains, new content... people would just revert to following CNN/Foxnews/[standard outlet]. Then the people who read these fakenews links will have an even harder time to figure out who to trust. Or is it maybe the goal to push people towards mainstream news outlets? I can only imagine that as a result of such an approach.
Reading the article, I thought it's all about the humility we lack in the industry.
Lettuce grows outdoors, in the soil. Animals have access to it for weeks or months. Dust happens around it. It is quite likely sprayed with fertilizer or pesticide at some point. Then it is cut by hand. Then it goes to the store where it is fondled by employees and the passing public.

So it's a good idea to wash it (and all produce) very thoroughly and not depend on some process to clean if for you. That means in the case of lettuce separating the leaves. It might be overkill but I usually put a drop or two of bleach in wash water, dunk chopped greens, rinse them well in clean water, then spin them in a centrifugal spinner. Something like this (these things are great) https://www.amazon.com/OXO-Good-Grips-Salad-Spinner/dp/B0000...

Also they sell specific vegetable washes although a little bleach or hydrogen peroxide works well enough for me. Generally I don't eat raw produce at restaurants.

For the record, I worked on a lettuce farm years ago and food safety is very important, but it's a mass produced out door farm operation with manual handling of product. To say nothing of transport and retail. It's better to wash things yourself and be sure. I think in many parts of the world this is better understood, but for some reason in the US we have this disembodied view of where food comes from.
Except you are deadly wrong. Your interventionism ideas area probably thanks to a dead economist.

How about seeing that once the Subway was private and ran well and it ended up the way it did thanks to state intervention trying to make the subways out of business and then buying it out?
> The second premise is that the brain is an ordinary configuration of matter, albeit an extraordinarily complicated one.

This is the part I doubt is true. There was a time when humans thought brains were very complex systems of microscopic clockwork because gears were the pinnacle of technology.

How do people keep mistaking pattern matching with intelligence?
Never attempted travel at Thankgiving, but for about 15 years running we would fly home on Christmas day after visiting family in Portland Oregon. We would leave in the evening, after a full day of festivities. The airport was like a ghost town. It was awesome.
I think it's basically true that we are all under hidden commercial surveillance at almost all times. Besides my cell phone tracking and selling by my phone company, license plate readers track my movements, and my computer usage is tracking. We only have our democratic government and rule of law to prevent a despotic future of complete tracking. I honestly fear for people in China and the horror of this ubiquitous tracking.
The most tasteless, offensive or controversial ads ever
-I had the unexpected pleasure of sitting next to a geologist on a domestic flight a few years ago; he explained about an unstable mountainous area he’d surveyed, stressing that it would come crashing down at some point.

I inquired as to /when/ we could expect this to happen, as it sounded imminent.

«Oh, any day now - definitely in the next 30-50,000 years!»

And here I am, with project deadlines measured in hours...
I am not sure he is a people person. He probably has good rapport with higher-ups but if people routinely bypassed him to take advice from OP that means he is clearly not valued by others in team. Once OP leaves his tech incompetence would be shown up and would lead to more devs leaving the job. These are the kind of 'people person' who hamper productivity and eventually lead to team dissolution. Although I agree he is clever enough to jump ship before that.

Ask HN: How does weakness surface?
Is it disguised as something else? Possibly Rationalizations?
Or it doesn't surface? Does one have blind spots to it?
Let's say if somebody struggles to make friends at a cocktail property. Does that person over time generate a distaste for the cocktail property? If yes, isn't it an unnecessary cognitive liability. Is it just better to get better at it if someone really wants to connect to new people but struggles to?
I've been a member of a very traditional Chinese martial arts club for years. I've only ever known most people by their Chinese name and been surprised at times when I catch them being referred to by a Western name. Others use either inconsistently or are mostly known by the Western name, so it happens here in Australia too.
I agree with you in principle, but in practice, attempting to break even puts some accountability on the system. If it’s a money pit, then taxpayers are getting cheated. I strongly support national defense, but if you want an example of a public good that is a money pit, that’s a good example. A P/L statement on public transport helps prevent endless spending without accountability.
Why half in taxes? Isn't this a capital gain? So 15-25% fed cap gain plus about 10% California income (if even applicable)
I remember when I used to cringe that an application was built with Tcl/Tk because it would be very slow and need quite a bit more memory than a similar application written in C or C++. But, today, I suspect this editor is an order of magnitude faster and an order of magnitude smaller than Atom or VSCode (this is purely speculation, of course...but, I feel like it's a reasonable hunch, based on my experience with Tcl/Tk in the past).
Anyone else struck by the promptness of the Dept. of Technology here? Always nice to see things just like this working.
I have a bit of an hard time articulating what I mean (ESL), but what I mean is that these days depending on what profile companies have on you (your assumed interests, income, education etc), your experience on the internet, apps will differ more and more. In order to improve retention and engagement, they will try to tailor the experience and give you what they think you want instead of letting you get it yourself, effectively creating a bubble around you.

In the context of my comment (internet dating company), it means even when you try to meet new people, we will make broad assumptions and present you people we think will match well with your assumed race, income, education. All for upping that retention a few .1%

In earlier internet, the experience on a single website, for example, was the same for everybody, no matter your demographic. I understand why it evolved, but I regret it a bit.
This is a good move. I found the process of contributing to be very off putting and so I gave up.

New York subways were sort of stolen. They were privately built, then the companies were forced into bankruptcy by price caps. The companies were not allowed to raise fares, inflation happened, and thus the government took control.

I don't understand the logic behind the 3rd jeopardy. Was it that he didn't show remorse? So the lawyer accused Xu made a mockery of the court and the Judge just went with it?

While reading the 3rd part, I kept thinking "brexit logic" which I have come to associate with British thinking that seems too idealistic to be actually implementable. And yet apparently the entire British judicial system allows it.

This action brings the food up to a temperature where it tends to kill/denature a lot of the bad bugs in the food.

Unfortunately that's not enough, because cooking temperatures don't always denature the toxins that the bugs produce, which is what the real problems come from.
