The quality is unacceptable/not as advertised? Then you most definitely are in the losers column, I agree.

It's rare that consumers win but most of my chinese made shit is way better than american, especially for the price.
But programs are proofs!

At least in the light of the Curry–Howard correspondence. :)

Anyways, I do agree that in programming it’s easier to see what are introductions, assumptions, definitions, functions, values etc. You can’t just invent a notation and go with it. Everything needs to be defined from the ground up. It’s constructive and I like that, probably because I’m a programmer.
No, that is crazy. Opioids and opiates certainly have their place in e.g. post-recovery for various types of surgeries. That's just proper and humane pain management.

But I recognize the attitude. I live in a Nordic country, and I think they're still pretty conservative with pain management on the public side especially. Although that used to be way worse. I don't think what you described could happen here normally. Availability of stronger opioids like oxycodone and fentanyl are more strictly controlled, and they try to keep them confined to hospital use and only for severe pain, cancer patients etc., at home. But stuff like codeine is prescribed much more and could be the stuff you get to take home after even a smaller surgery.
Macbooks usually have multiple mics for noise filtering. That could also be an issue.
I have done some of this and it is as speculative, competitive and risky as product market fit in startup land. You can make some money but you will probably make a lot more writing software.

It is still a lot of fun to go through the process and I learned a lot doing it.
It did come with conditions of legal reform and entering the belt and road trade zone.

Technique is super important. Female climbers obviously don't have the same kind of strength as men, which is why they climb differently. That doesn't mean that they're (much) worse than their male competitors.
Anti-vax is not a "movement". Vax is a movement, and a recent one, always coming along with the government's bayonets. There are few reasons not to vax yourself in Finland, and incidentally there are no anti-vax problems there.

Where I live, the healthcare minister peddles placebo pills, cause she has a share in the business, and the secret services have their own media to "leak" private data of politically dubious people.

Every consistently christian family have many memories of government repressions. Most MDs talk to you as a cop in a bad Milwaukee neighborhood to a black teenager.

There are many good reasons to avoid any contact with the officials.

I'm not an anti-vaxer, but in a country where any slightly marginal social group is still alive in spite of the government, you can't blame them. It's a sound Bayesian strategy.
Classic ML sucks, and gitlab is opensource that can be selfhosted. The world evolved and offers now better environments than 20 years ago. No reason to stay behind.
> That first part is quite important. Knights could have been thugs or even warlords but they weren't. Not because they would have been stopped by the state, which were fairly small and weak at the time, but because they largely chose not to.

That’s historical revisionism. Modern ideas of chivalry mostly post date the age of knights. In their own time they were thugs and mercenaries granted land as a reward for their brutality in combat.

(But the knights of this order were medicines, not warriors, in their primary purpose. What you say is more true of these knights, but not knights generally.)
I can relate to the "getting easier when nearing the end" feeling.

I play cello and whenever I don't play for a week or more and I just sit down to play, my hands lack a lot of dexterity and are imprecise. Most people just play for half an hour to get it all back.

However, what I noticed is that if I play for a minute- or two, make an hour break and come back to play again, my hands are fully ready to play, as though I didn't have any longer (week) pause whatsoever. It's rally kind of magical.
At some point I realized sanitizing your input for SQL is one of the dumbest ideas I've ever heard: you can trivially avoid the issue by parameterizing the variable inputs, and explicitly telling the DB that this chunk ain't SQL. Sanitizing is an absurd hack in any situation, in the fashion that parsing html with regex is; But especially with generating SQL, any notion of "sanitizing your input" should be considered a bug (perhaps a wetware one)[1]

Afaict the only reason this idea ever became widespread was because PHP's native MySQL driver lacked support for it for ages (I guess till PHP5? Been years since I looked into this)

[1] Obviously I'm not talking about validation eg validating a phone number; anytime you're trying to embed strings within a program but have to be worry that your string doesn't get read as part of the program, something has gone horribly wrong

This is the best approach. In a world where every podcast has a "Skip 30s" button, he has managed to have ad reads that people deliberately listen to - and even seek them out on YouTube. It's genius.

> what is your solution for violent piracy and it's effect on shipping?

This is what I don't understand. The economy of US, Russia, and other naval powers suffers because of piracy. New navy ships need field tests, new sailors need training. We're at peace time, so it's hard to do realistic trials.

Why not just station some navy ships in the pirate-infested areas? Have them hunt down and sink any violent pirate boats. Equip civilian ships with satellite-based "911" signal saying "we're at (lat, lon), we're under attack", so the combat vessels know where to look for targets?
I'm upvoting you on the assumption that was intentional.
I got a code violation warning last month for not mowing my front yard and having overgrown "landscape weeds"

This is ... fascinating for me. For a number of reasons. Like, it's the exact opposite of what I do with my 'lawn' and makes me feel naive and like I've been living under a rock for not realizing there are places where people actually get warnings for this. Can you elaborate in what kind of place you live, which country? What are the reasons behind such code? Do you think whomever gave you that warning would listen to sientific arguments of why such code is pretty much the opposite of what would be appropriate when it comes to nature?
Not being alone and being correct are entirely unrelated.

Also, an OS having bugs and an OS being "terrible" are also entirely unrelated.

Should I just link the bug trackers for each of the desktop environments available for Linux? Should I link the Linux kernel bug tracker (not that either such thing is actually fair)?

You're flamebaiting more OS wars, and honestly I'm pretty sure that's explicitly disallowed on HN, per the rules.

I have done this also, but not on Amazon. Amazon is pretty expensive + competitive + I simply don't trust them.
Adults who have never learned how to ride a bike can’t “just get on a bike and ride it” no matter how much explaining you do.

It’s one of those things immigrants need to learn when they move to this country (the Netherlands) and it’s certainly not as easy as you suggest.
Out of the four women I know who are or were pregnant, one was fired immediately after her maternity leave ended, one was forced to go from a 100% to a 20% (one day a week) contract, and one was the target of retaliation by her boss, who felt that it was unfair that she should get pregnant less than three years after she started her job (he told her this in an official setting and cited her pregnancy on her end of year performance appraisal).

The fourth was a graduate student in the final year of her studies. She hasn't been able to find a job since, despite having a good background.

Two of the four women are Swiss, and the other two are German citizens. Three of the four have graduate university degrees (two in hard sciences) and all have good to stellar resumes.

Most anonymous forums have low information quality because I don’t trust the raw data. While Reason requires no Speaker, Data does.

Efficient knowledge acquisition requires me to push some data gathering off elsewhere, and then the provenance of the data and the trustworthiness of the person become a big deal.

Hopefully, this bypasses those by being a signing authority that ensures the data are high quality.
> Dilution is never done as a last step by the user, it's done in labs that prepare large amounts of the drug.

People with substance misuse disorders aren't using medical grade fentanyl that is pre-diluted, they're using illicit fentanyl made in mexico. People are smuggling fentanyl in because it's easily available, and because it's so small it's easier to smuggle, and because it's much more profitable than heroin. The product entering the US is undiluted, and it's the dark web dealers or their customers who are doing the dilution.
Brain actually does develop until you're adult, but bones need to calcify and that limits how much it can grow
Looking that the case of adult non-western immigrants learning to ride in places like the Netherlands or Denmark suggests it is not as easy as simply explaining the operation of a bike [0]. I'm not sure if they learn more quickly than children - that could be interesting to see.

Tangentially, and anecdotally, I can see that children in Denmark (or at least Copenhagen) seem to learn more quickly than American kids to ride adult bikes because they never use training wheels. They first start on strider-type bikes that teaches them the balance needed, so once they graduate to pedal bikes they don't need the training wheel and pick it up fairly quickly - at least relative to my experience as a kid in the US.

It is an incredibly important foundation for analyzing any kind of data. That is a need that crosses many different fields, be it sales forecasting, quantitative finance, econometrics, deep learning, signal processing, any sort of scientific computing etc.

I would be more interested in hearing an argument about why math knowledge is not useful or lucrative.

The intellectual hostage taking you’re doing is a sad trend I have seen more and more of lately. “This horrible feminist said bad things and FORCED me to become a sexist” kind of thing.

I don’t buy it. If one idiot on one side of a debate like that causes you to pick the opposite side, it’s because that’s the side you wanted to pick. There are plenty of idiots on either side to support whatever choice you want to make.
Calligraphy, handwriting, drawing, painting etc etc you loose it if you don't work on it regularly.

Same goes for programming. Take a year or two off and see what your remember about algorithms and protocols.
If it was seen as important work they'd be paid for it and it wouldn't have such an impact on their careers.
“Most of us learn how to ride a bike during childhood. But as we grow older, many of us stop riding and put those once-beloved bikes in storage.”

As a Dutch person, this is so weird to read. How can you get by in day-to-day life without a bike ? Mine broke the other day, nothing big just a snapped cable, but I was without a bike for all of 2 days and it felt like being handicapped.

I don't know about that. In my recollection, AltaVista was not that bad, and I switched to Google mostly because the AltaVista search field was getting harder and harder to find among all the ads. A few years earlier, I switched to AltaVista from Lycos for pretty much the same reason.

A good thing that Google is too smart to crowd out organic search results with more and more paid results.

I think the people in France are acting very rational here. The artifical increase in gas prices directly hits their state of being right now and that of their kids. There is no uncertainty about that.

Global warning may or may not make life shitty in some future scenario. Why do they, who are already poor, need to pay the price right now?

I think most people rather want to be not poor in a world with global warning than poor in one without. I think I would.

Skiing is something else where, for me at least, the 'don't forget' effect applies.

I used to ski in a one to two week block every year, for about 20 years (i.e. 2 weeks on then 50 weeks off). Once I reached a certain level (being able to do parallel turns) I never really forgot how to do them, although the first few runs of a new season would be a bit tentative. Something that continued to improve year on year was my ability to turn at speed on steep slopes. I think this was due to learned (and remembered) confidence as well as muscle memory, in particular knowing that because a turn would work, a sudden increase in speed didn't mean automatic disaster. I also learned to lean out of a turn (i.e. down the mountain, the opposite of a turn on a bike) and this was also a confidence thing that I didn't forget, and which turns safer still. Unfortunately, my increasing confidence was offset by decreasing fitness so I reached a plateau. That said, on my last couple of trips, I didn't fall once. I never took a multi-year break to test the concept properly.

This is your usual Gary Marcus if you have been frequenting his social media outlets. As far as I can tell, no one in the field is disputing his core thesis that deep learning is not “AI” and there is fundamental issue that deep learning doesn’t do causal reasoning and it’s rather just fancy way to do function approximation. There have been plenty of papers on this including from Bengio and there is now entire new field of adversarial deep learning which is academic way of making fun of how it miserably fails.

The root cause of said Twitter firestorm was Marcus’s accusation that world’s talent and money is moving en mass in deep learning research which is likely to turn out dead end for achieving “real” AI. Even worse, many uninformed decision makers think AI is already a done deal due to all the media hype.

The counter point to his accusations were that deep learning is what works now and pretty well for many real world problems so we shouldn’t be putting it down. It is likely that deep learning might become integral part of broader some Artificial General Intelligence framework in future. So no harm in keep improving it. This would be especially be important when most of the accusers don’t actually have realistic alternative with much to claim.

> Then again, I've never bought anything that I've heard about on a podcast, so I have to admit I remain pretty skeptical of its paying off.

It's not always that, it's sometimes brand awareness.

Also, I just bought an Indochino suit primarily because I've heard the goddamned ads 100 times by now. And I'm pretty pleased with the product, honestly.

Hmm, I don't disagree with you, but my assessment of Chinese labor situations is that laborers are paid quite low wages and the living/working conditions in proximity to the factory are probably worse than if they were just subsistence farmers.

I feel similarly, because as an American laborer doing basic customer service in a high cost of living area, my wage is not enough to afford literally any discretionary spending.
It's usually around $20-30/month. 5-10 in total, I think?
I thought that always as a strange argument. Why would relative size matter for intelligence? At least if one thinks of compute capacity this shouldn't matter.
> within a few weeks there are 4 or 5 versions of the same thing from different fba sellers

If you have a successful product, could you mitigate this by secretly creating an additional 4 or 5 FBA accounts yourself? The 4 or 5 FBA accounts would have different photos and slightly different descriptions, but would be selling the same product. The purpose of doing this:

- Since all your FBA accounts are selling the same thing, there is no risk of some of them being poor quality and getting bad reviews.

- You discourage other sellers from entering your market because the market looks crowded.

- You can set different prices on your 4 or 5 FBA accounts and thereby capture people who are willing to pay a premium and those looking for the cheapest price.
Interesting concept. Two suggestions:

1) Let the arrow keys be used to move the in-game paddle.

2) The "squares" where the ball has gone through, should change colours so after a while the players are able to create their own versions Mondrian compositions.

Great work.

Google's innovation was discovering the ad auctions that turned their gushing red ink into gushing green ink. PageRank is a nice idea, but I don't remember switching from Dogpile to Google and going 'oh my god! who are these Google people? They solved search. All the search engines I used before were not even worthy of the name!' I wouldn't call it so extreme as to redefine the entire category; I wouldn't call early Google even 10x better than its competitors. Maybe 2 or 3x better.

Had they not been fortunate enough to stumble across the right way to do ads, they would have been yet another casualty of the dot-com bubble - 'yeah, they did a nice job with $TECH, but everyone knows you can't simply scale and count on finding a revenue model later on, which is what all those dot-com bombs did. Eventually you run out of greater fools, you know. Too bad, I liked their site, among many others.'
It might have some crossover, but my guess is it's probably much more introductory than that book. I didn't know this until fairly recently, but Concrete Mathematics was used in a Graduate level course at Stanford as the textbook (with the course name following the book's, Concrete Mathematics). Kind of threw me off when I first found out, because the book says it's a foundation for computer science, so I thought it would be an undergraduate course. So, I don't think you need to be a graduate student or in particular a Stanford level computer science graduate student to read Jeremy Kun's book.

> the cost of the hardware and compute time needed to process the data is available to a tiny number of research groups

You'd think this would make them more interested in replication, since otherwise the likelihood that they are actually doing something of value is uncertain.

Science and research is full of all kinds of false starts, you don't increase your speed by blinding yourself.

Falsification is the very definition of science.

"Correcting" names is more than just a data-scientist-cleanup procedure, it's a political one too. Some states now require names on voter registrations to exactly match the names on IDs. I run a law firm analytics company across a few continents, I wishit was easy as saying "stop working with that team", "start working with thos team".. For our handul of big accounts, the want more than just our "service" at this bra, they want our love.

So now the little bug that failed to match Michael Sander with Michael Sanders, Esg., leads to under or overcounting in a general election, and we've seen that an extra 200 votes in any county could swing it Democrat.

Regardless of how racist you guilt trip your self into, if you go out with Migos, and they promise you a fun time, it's probably in your interest to go with them and do what you want.
