> almost every image posed on reddit is a form of piracy

This statement seems questionable and needs to be backed up by statistics. Looking at the front-page, the most entertaining items are original content contributed by the users. Clearly, piracy is happening too, perhaps in the total uploads more so than what reaches the front-page, but I distrust the notion that this is associated with substantial economic loss. And in the utilitarian analysis of the problem it matters whether it is substantial because of the implications on freedom of speech that may come from an automated filter.

On the last issue, the problem is that it's pretty much impossible to enact the exact people's will because it is not consistent.

Just have a look at the latest vote on EU ties.
They want to keep the economic benefits but to restrict foreign workers, except the EU is never going to accept that.
It's like the British, they want the cake and eat it too.
The people can have their dream and vote on whatever they want and express themselves, and that's great, but at some point someone has to go back to reality and make compromises.

I would argue it is the parliament job to transform the people's will into realistic laws.
At this point, the parliament could either water it down or go full Brexit. The latest vote just confirmed it took the "correct" decision by watering it down.

>"Because you don't "properly" study all papers that you read.

For most, you just want to know the general ideas and understand the novel techniques that were applied. You might decide to do a deep dive in a very select few. At this point code becomes useful for reproducibility."

I have much experience reading research literature (but not ML specifically). The vast majority of the time I just skim a paper looking for certain info.

What I am reading from you is that basically the only useful part of the ML paper is the abstract. If the repo/blog had a good abstract there would be no point to the paper.

>"Do you really think researchers just write some random code until they come up with good results and then try to retrofit that with some equations?"

This sounds like a strawman, but yea I do think the code is the "actual" method while the math is some idealized cleaned-up translation.
When will LastPass stop being recommended? It says right in their TOS they collect all your browser behavior and sell it to 3rd parties. Why should I trust them?

Agreed. To me it sounded like the takeaway should have been "Don't sponsor podcasts, they're a terrible investment." Now, if you're a big enough company that you can afford to blow $50k on brand awareness, maybe that's okay.

But what is cognition? People should reevaluate their views on how it works.

The brain is very complex and a very big ball of highly specialized circuitry (and the software running on those and managing various aspects and parts of it and them). The similarities are at the same time very striking but the differences are just as drastic in number of layers and other size related parameters our various brain components have.

Yes, AlphaGoZero is not going to learn to cook and sing and dance, but it beats our gaming component in a lot of areas. Of course a synapse is not really a memristor or a ReLU, but at the same time not that far off either. Similarly a biological neuron is not just a simple backpropagatin integrator like a perceptron, but it works very similarly.

And just as we don't really know how all the representations work in an ANN, we don't exactly know the biological aspects of memory/learning/seeing work in our brains, yet we have made enormous progress on both. See all the demos/visualizations on how various layers encode in deep nets and look at the data about the brain's visual cortex and the V1 circuit, look at the gene spliced mouse studies where memory encoding is studied (and sometimes only one neuron encodes for a memory/face/concept - just as with deep nets).

> Sometimes higher resolution can even reduce the bitrate

I cannot imagine how this could ever be true. Have you experienced it actually happening for the same content at the same encoding settings?

"bitrate" = file size / duration. There is no reason why increasing the resolution should ever make a video more compressible. This is completely different from the 10-bit situation you described, which takes place because you're storing data in a different format.

You could choose to encode a higher resolution copy of a video at a lower bitrate, but it's nothing an encoder will do by default, and it should always result in the higher resolution version looking worse.
As a foreigner who learned English, one of my most memorable lessons was when we were given "the Jabberwock" as an exaple of old English to explain it even if we didn't understand some words (on the most advanced English level in the school).

After we tried to make sense of it from the grammar, context, word root, etc and gave an explanation of each part and compared notes it was revealed that it was a made up language. Still, it's incredible how much there was to understand.

It seems like Big Tech has switched over to amassing data and behavior manipulation ("engagement", etc.) as their main business model. I think that Microsoft didn't feel threatening because they still mostly just sold a product.

I feel like we as a society haven't really entirely got a handle on this yet. Things emerge, like trusts, and it takes a while for people to understand what has happened.

But, with things like Windows 10 telemetry you can't turn off, and Windows turning into a service, they've gotten back on board with how Big Tech runs these days.

This pattern seems to hold really well. The giants mostly amass data and manipulate people. If they don't do this sort of thing, they don't really seem that threatening, regardless of their size. HP, IBM, Dell. Apple seems interesting, as a hold-out on just selling a product, but in the meta game, just direct manipulation of people really looks like a step up, and I don't predict they'll continue as anything approaching a "scary tech giant" in coming decades unless they change like Microsoft did.

Yep; the better podcasts pull in the advertiser into their unique style. Comedy podcasts are probably the best example of this. My Brother, My Brother, and Me will write a funny song about each advertiser, or involve them in "advice" bits somehow. They had a recurring segment with an online adult toy store that involved them reading lists of what people who had clicked through to their landing page had bought.

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.
I work on exactly this problem, it is actually pretty complicated. A grocery store does know how much is delivered but it does not know how much is in stock. A simplified version is like this. 20 boxes of cheerios come in, there are room for 5 on the shelf, there are room for 5 on top of the shelf, then 10 go to the backroom.

Someone steals a box from the shelf, another takes a box and puts it back behind the frosted flakes. Now the inventory is showing 20 boxes, but there are only 19 in the store, and one of those 19 is somewhere hiding somewhere.

These are the easy cases. Consider shirts. A shirt can come in different sizes or colors but they all have the same upc number. We have 20 shirts according to inventory, no need to order more right? The only problem is that all the mediums and larges sold out and we only have xxls and xsms. Also items can come in packs, but are sold individually. There can be special displays, so some of the items are moved from their old location to a new location. On and on with edge cases and exceptions.

The parent comment on most stores have no idea is closer to the reality than stores know because they know what came in on the trucks.
For that calculation to work, the pixels of the screen must have 1:1 match with eye sensory elements, and must be positioned perfectly on (sensory element-lens center-pixel) line. Since it's not the case, you will see the difference.

It will become completely indistinguishable when error caused by that imperfection will be less than some threshold, for which you'd need higher density.

Of course, the positive effect of density diminishes as it goes up, and only makes sense if you want absolute realism of the picture, which would also require sensory-element perfect 3D mapping.
What Reddit Can Tell Us About NBA Fan Bases
Most of the 'hate' has to do with the fact that the language isn't suited to platforms with memory constraints. Specifically there's semantics around closure capture that make it pretty easy to leak variables.

I've worked on platforms where we wrote the same logical code in JS and Lua, closures and all. The JS version leaked like a sieve while the Lua version was memory steady.

You can totally use gc'd, interpreted languages in the embedded space. I've used Lua on a product with 8mb of system ram in a 400kb block and it worked like a charm.

"We" vibe for me
But, with things like Windows 10 telemetry you can't turn off, and Windows turning into a service, they've gotten back on board with how Big Tech runs these days.

Yes, I can confidently say that I miss the old Microsoft. They were strongly closed-source and proprietary (not that it didn't stop people from understanding how things worked anyway...), but they did not do the sort of data collection, behavioural analysis and advert-driven manipulation that the others were doing, and still highly valued backward-compatibility and stability.

Now they're going the same route as the other tech giants, silently collecting information while also open-sourcing a lot of other things almost as a form of distraction/diversion. You could consider the fact that they're open-sourcing something to mean they're not interested in selling that as a product anymore, and that's because their profit is coming from somewhere else.
Octopuses are really incredible creatures. They diverged from humans in the evolutionary tree hundreds of millions of years ago. Our common ancestor would have been a very dumb animal. Their brain structure is so different: 8 semi-autonomous tentacles, with one sort of central coordinating body. What could it possibly be like to experience the world that way? They're probably the "peak" of intelligence with the most prominence, along with humans and intelligent swarming insects like bees and termites. I think it's really interesting. Is is it really possible to measure this kind of intelligence? Can we ever know just how smart they are?

And, of course, they're just interesting creatures regardless. Their bodies is flexible, yet strong, like one continuous muscle. Each tentacle has a slightly different "personality;" for a single octopus, some of its tentacles are more adventurous while others are more shy. They can change the color of their entire body, and do, for reasons we haven't figured out yet. They mate once, after which the female guards the egg cache without moving from the spot until she withers away.

Everything I read about them absolutely floors me. They're the closest thing we have to an intelligent alien species.
> I wouldn't know how to make a case that any language is a bad language

I have a checklist I've been building which is purely based on my experience and is subjective. Appearing on the checklist makes teaching someone else more difficult and looks bad for the language in general.

I believe the ecosystem is part of the language. You can't do much without running into npm if you use node but you can avoid it if you just use JS - are they separate? I treat them so. If you aren't a general purpose language being used as a general purpose language, that's partially the language's (including ecosystem) fault. eg don't make a UI with erlang.

* Language has a toxic ecosystem - node

* Language makes it easy to do the wrong thing - node, js, PHP, lua, Perl (notice no Python)

* Language makes it hard to do the right thing - node, js, PHP, Perl, erlang, Python, Haskell, Java

* Language is based on an esoteric design principle - erlang, Haskell, lua (meta-things)

* Language which is internally inconsistent - node, js (floats, time, etc), PHP (bifs), Java (type system)

etc. I think there's plenty of languages which have problems and few seem to be shoring them up because we still don't have a consensus on how dynamic typing should be implemented, so we build upon the sand of flawed languages and argue about triviality.

I use FreshDirect. It’s uncommon for something to be shown in stock and then be blocked as unavailable at checkout, and exceedingly rare for something to not be delivered.

I’ve also tried peapod which, despite being a massive chain grocer, would often send a delivery with a handful of missing items. Less than 10% though.

I have tried taking meth for about a couple of weeks a couple of times in my life and had no problems with it, I didn't even have to "quit" as the "addiction" is purely psychological (so it totally depends on a person if they are going to be affected by it or not, I wasn't, but perhaps it could be harder for me if I had no love in my life and didn't do meth solely for working efficiency so I could write code much faster and better than I usually can being handicapped by ADHD so severe that ordinary aphetamine won't help much (and you can't get either legally at my location)) if you do it right (take a really lot of piracetam, antioxidants, vitamins, eat fruits and drink a huge lot of water with electrolytes all the way, try to relax regularly, don't drink any alcohol, don't (!) take dopa/tyrosine supplements while on meth etc.) and it itself can hardly kill you. Heroin can indeed kill (unless you really know how exactly pure it is and control the dosage very seriously) but it's usually a risk the people choose to take (and you can even eliminate both the risk and the addictivity if you get substance of precisely known purity and take it in sufficiently small doses) while with poorly diluted fentanyl the risk is like a "russian roulette".

Also note that what I've meant was essentially about treating psychedelics the same way as opiates, not much about meth (which can be deadly in an indirect way (it doesn't kill by itself but given some time can easily screw a weak mind to the point of madness) for many people) nor about heroin (which can kill you quite literally). Nevertheless in both cases there always is a choice people are given many chances to make and in case of black market fentanyl there almost isn't.
It's a far cry from actual pattern matching, but you can always tag your types[1]:

interface Tagged {
tag: string;
}

interface Circle extends Tagged {
tag: 'circle'
}

// ... Other implementations

switch (myShape.tag) {
case 'circle': {
// Do circular things
}
// etc . . .
}

You'll occasionally even see this in Scala code, since the @switch annotation optimizes pattern-match statements[2].
