Didn't Tesla over automate things?

I think any downtime for that machine is going to be really expensive. The more those machines do, the more they cost when they aren't doing what they need to do. Human labor, is plentiful and cheap. A worker who is out sick can be immediately replaced by 100 others waiting in the wings.

Worse, some libraries cap the fine. So the fine per day decreases the longer you keep the book. This is mitigated by collections reporting to credit, but the threat of collections is the kind of vague consequence that people disregard or misvalue.

1)40 books on Linear algebra? You know why? Books on math aren't meant to be read as some literature. THey are hard, and the more abstract, the more value they have, but the harder to read they become. You just need an author which will find a key into your ignorance. They all say same thing (linear algebra), but in different words, that's a key: different wording. You just need to find "your wording".

Under capitalism automation is not really a good thing for humanity. Loads of middle class jobs disappeared due to it, leaving millions with lower wages and a more insecure life.

But automation is good for the average HN reader I guess, for now. One day it will come for them too.
you can do the same in ubuntu laptops as well. And if you are a coder then you want any have to configure your mac for whatever language/frameworks you work on.

In Stranger Visions I collected hairs, chewed up gum, and
cigarette butts from the streets, public bathrooms and
waiting rooms of New York City. I extracted DNA from them
and analyzed it to computationally generate 3d printed
life size full color portraits representing what those
individuals might look like, based on genomic research.
Working with the traces strangers unwittingly left behind,
the project was meant to call attention to the developing
technology of forensic DNA phenotyping, the potential for
a culture of biological surveillance, and the impulse
towards genetic determinism.

The forecast of Stranger Visions came true. Just 2 years
later Parabon NanoLabs launched a service they called DNA
"snapshot" to police around the US. For more examples see
Identitas and read about their collaboration with the
Toronto police.

The answer is 'it depends'. There is different grades of knockoffs and it is pretty easy to spot low quality ones. The fabric is thinner, the sewing isn't quite right. So far, I've only had issues with poorly made cheap shoes falling apart. Regular clothes have generally been excellent and I can't tell the difference.
Robotics New Innovations – Robots That Can Teach Each Other
I recently made the switch from a macbook pro to a windows machine for personal use. My work machine is a 15 macbook pro with touchbar and I loathe that machine. It has no usb ports ( only type c) so plugging in my DAC and other peripherals is a pain. The keyboard feels like somebody has pasted keys on the chassis and I really miss the function keys. Apple also did away with the shiny logo at the back.
I recently bought a lenovo machine for personal use and I love it.

- It's light at 1.6 kgs

- Upgradable RAM which i upgraded to 16GB

- The keyboard has travel and is brilliant.

- HDD + Intel Optane - Intel Optane is a caching layer which sits in front of a traditional HDD. So you get SSD level performance from a normal HDD. It also means that I can install Win+Linux+VS+Android Studio+Ableton+Games on it and still have 500+GB to spare. Also it's an NVME module, so i can swap it with an SSD anyday.

- Can play PUBG and Overwatch and proper games on it.

- 8520U CPU, which has 4 cores and 8 threads.

- Windows + WSL ( Arch Linux ) + Dual Boot(Arch Linux). WSL Is brilliant because it allows me to run a copy of Arch inside of windows without virtualization. pacman is a much better package manager than brew.
I still love Google Search, Google Fonts, Google News, Trends and those little widgets they do for sports scores especially during tournaments like the FIFA World Cup.

Things I don't like: Google Analytics (don't think I'll ever truly understand that interface) and more recently Gmail. Sometimes clicking on links on gmail.com does nothing for 2-3 seconds!
> Finally, I got in touch with the lead designer at IKEA who had picked the photo more than 10 years ago. I ask him why he picked the photo, and he told me that the first thing they design at IKEA is the price.

> This photo was just very, very cheap, and that’s why they picked it.

It makes total sense, but seeing it stated directly like that reduces my desire for their art and decor. Not knowing how they do things lets you fool yourself into thinking there's something more there than the cheapest acceptable photo from an archive.

Edit: decor -> art and decor
Otis said in a PBS special that the only people that die in elevators in the US anymore are people that work on them, unfortunately, but even that is only a few each year. I do remember an accident several years ago at Ohio State where some students were crushed at a dorm by trying to stuff it full. Anyway, like others have said, they're statistically safer than many other things.
Sounds like good motivation to do shit work just to get it done on time.

Inversely, offering rewards can be just as counterproductive.

https://www.nytimes.com/2018/10/27/opinion/sunday/science-re...

If it helps you maintain intrinsic motivation then it may be of benefit. Maybe depending on the person a gentle reminder or a wakeup call works best, but the motivation shouldn't be focussed on getting a pat on the back or to avoid someone yelling at you.

That may be. In this case, the daycare is just an example of how inflexible financial consequences could work better or worse depending on the implementation.

That said, if lateness is a problem, it’s impeding on the workers’ personal lives, which can’t be good for anybody, so I don’t mind exploring how those workers could be helped. I assume more upfrontness from the business office, and parent education, would go a long way, similar to other institutions.

Of course they have changed me. In what ways?
1. I know that I can learn anything. BUTTTT I never rush. If you have a deadline, it will ruin everything. No rush, no deadline. I learn because I LOVE it. I'm high when I start to undestand complex subject, I wasn't able even to be able to think about. Like entropy, "pull backs", probabilities ect.

No time limits, no deadlines for learning.

2) If you have a goal to reach some point of undestanding... that's not good either. Goals MUST NOT define you. What must define you - activities you like to do. If you set goals you'll never reach them (that's life) and you'll feel miserable. But if you just like doing things, how can it ruin you? No metter what goals you would achieve you still had a great time doing the thing (achieving)... thus you'll die of old age having spend your life doing fun things. No goals reached? Who cares? Fuck'em!

Whenever the topic of anonymizing and deanonymizing and PII comes up, I have to use myself as an example of how little data can be considered PII. Despite living in a city of 300,000 people, through a quirk in street numbering my house wound up with a unique postal code. Given the postal code, almost any piece of data goes from 1 of 2 people (me and my wife) to just one of us.

Hopefully that thought sends shivers down the sounds of anyone who is trying to come up with a data anonymization scheme

"99,7% SNP precision and sensitivity." [0]

Sensitivity = true-positive-rate = 0.997.

Precision = 0.997 = #true-positives / (#true-positives + #false-positives) = true-positive-rate / (true-positive-rate + false-positive-rate) = 0.997 => true-positive-rate + false-positive-rate = 1 => false-positive-rate = 0.003. [1]

That seems like a very high error rate, about 10 million errors in the three-gigabase genome, and 100 thousand errors in the 30-megabase exome (protein-coding regions.) That might be an acceptable rate for population-level analysis if the errors are sufficiently uncorrelated, but I wouldn't want to be making decisions on the basis of it for personalized medicine. For comparison, here's a rough estimate that an individual human genome has 2-3 million SNPs [2].

I thought you could do better than that with 30x coverage, so I might be misinterpreting them, somehow. Or maybe they're using an unconventional sequencing technology which is cheaper but less accurate.

“This is the second most important building in Chicago? And this is the third most important city in the United States?” he questioned.

By what metric is Chicago the third most important city in the United States? I'd argue that NYC and DC are the top two (not necessarily in that order) and either San Francisco or Los Angeles (or both) also rank above Chicago.

Thoughts?
THere is one more thing i've learned. I got to have an ability to spot the exact time I loose the sence of the subjet. It's like: you read, read, undestande that and this, but then new chapter and you lose the meaning of the subject (some times it's authors falt, he just skipped something trivial, but you are dumb and don't know "trivial things" like "entropy maximisation principle" :)

WHen you feel you're losing it, stop, rewind, read again from the beginning. (THAT is vital!) Everty book starts at page 1, read every book from this page, never skip even if you know what's there (it's repetition what is important and small things you might miss if you skip, what's important).

Repetition of the same thing over and over in different words in diferent font, book, ask internet in the middle of it about some tricky parts...
> But it also frequently recommends books to me based on a book that I purchased, read, and left a one-star review for. That seems like a pretty obvious mistake.

The reasoning might be that the bad-review signal means that you found the book to be a low-quality instance of its type, not that you discovered that you disliked all of that type.

Unless you're being recommended books by the same author, I suppose.

There are indeed a whole bunch of security features which prevent a lift from free-falling.

However there is another risk of it flying up and slamming into the ceiling for most types of lifts. For that kind of malfunction there is often no safe guard. A lot of lifts are of the type where they use a large weight which is about half the weight of the maximum load capacity of the lift. This weight is used as a contra weight and hangs in the elevator shaft (so it goes down if the lift goes up). If the brakes in the engine on top of the lift shaft fail there is nothing stopping the contra weight and the lift will fly up.

This is a YouTube video of that happening: https://youtu.be/Ys0rDAxdd-g (warning its not graphic but obviously a disturbing thing to see)

Interesting to think about how you can ensure your anonymity and still take advantage of a cheap genome!!

Some preliminary ideas:

- misidentify yourself (eg get a few friends and submit each other's samples)

- mix your DNA with a mammalian organism (something like a mouse). It will get flagged as a bad sample by them probably, due to poor alignment metrics and too many variants, but with the knowledge of which DNA you put in you can do a dual alignment to eg. the mouse and human genome and purify the reads that came from you (there are published methods to do this kind of thing). Not sure how you would get an equimolar mix of mouse and your own DNA, but for $200 you could submit multiple ratios I guess.

- enzymatically modify your DNA. There are some enzymes which cause characteristic mutations. They will turn up as real variants in their pipeline, but you can use the sequence context to filter them out. Kind of like chemical code obfuscation. This would mean extracting your own DNA and treating it, probably not that feasible.
It's possible that automation is better for the average human, but worse for the median human. It's probably better for the environment, in terms of shipping.
I imagine underground shelters would be workable. Heat tends to rise, and ground seems like a good insulator. You would still probably need to get rid of most air circulation with the outside, and come up with some plan for safely exiting.
Yes, I know. But the point is that a cctv camera that is accessible only to the police is the same camera that is open to the web. It's the use not the technology.
To play devil's advocate: On the other hand, maybe you get a chance to do this now, before it becomes regulated or completely illegal. Like, how you can no longer see health analyses in 23andme (in europe).
The testing centers have more sophisticated methods to address your concern. They procure Huawei equipment from various vendors and check if they have the same hardware and software. In fact, the recent report from UK did find minor shortcomings related to binary mismatch in huawei products.

My point is not testing centers can provide 100% guarantee; such guarantee does not exist in the security field. However, shared hardware and rigorous testing provide far better security than blind trust and paranoia.

Also, what's wrong with being interested in sino-US technological relationship?
Maybe if you treat "Canada as a national security treat" as a posture during trade negotiations, it might not be such a hard argument.
True that. Just two thoughts on it:

1) You can A/B test yourself into a corner. They are definitely doing it right, whether it is the right thing to do is a different question.

2) Having some process insight into the operations / logistics side I can confirm that everything thing is connected to the webside one way or the other. That is what gives Amazon its huge operational advantage. Downside is, with everything developed in-house, this approach can end up as a motely collection of legacy systems. And that makes changing things difficult and had the potential to become a major pain in the ass long term.

Can you give a more specific example? I found some of the sillier inclusions had some decent information behind them, after poking around.

For example, it lists Adware Doctor under MacOS, which seems unfair, but the context is that its #4 in the app store at the time of the article:

"Researchers allege the developers of Adware Doctor, the 4th highest ranking paid app in the Mac App Store, have found a way to bypass Apple restrictions and collect sensitive user data."

Some of the headlines could definitely use rephrasing though.
"Hundreds of Chinese companies have revised their corporate charters to allow a deeper management role for the Communist Party, a sign the ruling party is tightening its control over the private sector."
.
"Changes include acknowledging a central role for the party and establishing internal party committees to be consulted on important decisions. Some stipulate that corporate chiefs also serve as the heads of in-house party organs. Despite the Communist Party's dominance over the Chinese state, it is unusual for publicly listed businesses to explicitly give the party a role in decision-making, much less write it into their charters."

another thing I started to understang is that, in school children DON"T know what they are doing. They know the patterns in equations but, hell no, they don't undestand why and what's it all about.
The success of human math is based in the ability of the founding fathers to invent mathematica writing notation which can be taught to school studends without explaining them why and how it works.

Riemann integral? I bet NO ONE understand what it is in reality on this planet. Evene those who got A+ on the subject in school. They were able to pass their exams because they are good at PATTERN recognition (learining rules to mindlessly shift things around in the equation).

I hate mindless math magic. I just stop and throw the book out. I need REASON why Integral was invented in the first place, how it's different from all other integrals, i leave the calculation to PC. I hate caltulation! I need reasons. I hate learning patterns! I need mindful math manipulation where I understand each bit, every operation.
You are old enough to follow this path, leave pattern juggling for A+ students. Stay with us: dubm fucks who can't understand why we can divide one equation by another! ANd that does it mean to "divide equation by another".

That is hard path, but it's fun once you leave your ego in the trash. Ego is the killer. From now on tell every one of you stupidity (I always do), this throws the load off your shoulders and you can ask any stupid question whithout the fear of being discovered as a stupid fuck. :)
