PhysX is used in both the Unity and Unreal engines, representing well over 50% of games made.
Well to start I wouldn't have gone up and said a bunch of easily verifiable lies where I claiming boofing meant farting and that I threw up a lot during beach week because I have a sensitive stomach. I wouldn't have had a temper tantrum where I complain about how the Clinton's were somehow behind it. I would have encouraged an FBI investigation into things and encouraged them to speak to the only other witness, Mark Judge.
The syntax definitely could be improved. The equivalence of arrays and pointers is also confusing.
I used to be addicting to heroin. The problem is with fentanyl, not heroin. I've had 2 close friends die from overdoses, and both involved fentanyl. I got close myself a couple times (or so my wife says, I was passed out), and both were fentanyl laced doses.

I honestly and truly believe that opiates (and all drugs) should be legal. I think you would find the number of overdoses drop drastically if that were the case.

No one wants to do fentanyl, it doesn't last as long and feels weird. Heroin itself is very safe if it's not cut and the purity is known ahead of time.
I was at Natural Bridges a few weeks back, which is supposed to be a haven for monarchs...there were almost no clusters there (maybe 3, when there should be dozens or more at a minimum).
Don't get me wrong, there is immense value to being an index of what tools are available to solve a job, which works best for what, what is on the horizon, how to put the pieces together in a way they compliment each other, when to wait for the next big thing vs jumping into the legacy way of solving a problem.

Just call a spade a spade, and admit youre more of a journalist/strategist/architect/historian than a scientist.

I dont understand what is to gain by trying to paint ML as a new field, vs being Applied Statistics, unless the end goal is to CREATE confusion and mysticism, which all in all seems very unscientific.
Just in case anyone is still reading this thread, Spectrum was launched by Charter in 2014, two years before the TWC merger. It's just a gimmicky brand, similar to Xfinity, Fios, or Uverse.

There is something to be said for not reinventing the wheel.

That said, it is very easy to read a list like this, "feel inspired", and then go right back to your old habits.
Please read the definitions clearly. How can an animal product be vegetarian? Does it even make sense?

Ovo-vegetarianism = eggs + vegetarian food. This is certainly not eggs = vegetarian.

How do you reason such? Most if not all of the illicit fentanyl comes from China, where it is an uncontrolled substance. IMO this should definitely be part of a comprehensive conversation.

The post makes two main claims

"Machine Learning Does Not Require An Advanced Knowledge of Statistics"

Lets take it at its face value, even then it does not preclude ML from being glorified stats. Depending on how advanced the 'advanced' is in that statement I would agree with it. To use ML tools well you do need some familiarity with understanding how uncertainty effects the results and that is as up one can be statistics alley. I say this although I am firmly in the ML side of the tribe. BTW I would even claim this

"[Practicing] Machine Learning Does Not Require An Advanced Knowledge of Machine Learning"

The other claim that the post makes is

"Machine Learning = Representation + Evaluation + Optimization"

Whoah! big blind spot there. Dealing with and reasoning about uncertainty, generalization is a big deal in ML. Sure, it helps to argue that ML and stats is different if one ignores that bit.

I do think ML and Stats is different but not for those reasons.

Yeah ML brings to bear some tools that card holding statisticians have traditionally not used in anger before, for example, advanced and large scale optimization, algorithms, data structures.

Using new tools to address the same question does not qualify as a deep difference in my books. For example, even the fields of optimization and algorithms themselves use tools that are different from what the tools were 50 years ago. I think the main difference is in the questions that ML and Stats wants to answer, and here there indeed are differences.

Stats (barring edge cases) is primarily interested in going from a sample to making claims about the population, or making claims about something via a claim about the population. ML is primarily interested in going from a sample to another sample. (Do note sample is a collective noun.) Now, there have been statisticians (fewer in number) and a body of statistics literature that has focused on prediction as opposed to parameter recovery, but that's not main stream in Stats.

And finally in pseudo-quotes "I managed to train a model without knowing what variance is. I know variance is statistics. ML is not Statistics ... QED ". Ah I see, nevertheless, not what I would call a brilliant case of logical deduction".
I guess that makes sense. I've worked for a lot of small companies, though, so most of these I've signed have also been signed by the CEO. I wouldn't be surprised if they tried to treat it like a contract if they wanted to use it against you in court, though.

I agree with you, but now with hooks that's not the case anymore.

It seems the React team intends to completely move away form using classes.
How much longer is Tumblr going to circle the drain? Virtually unmonetizeable and declining userbase, and its founder has been gone.
For anyone who hasn't read / listened to David Foster Wallace's This is Water speech, I would highly recommend it. It talks about point 2 of parents comment.
I think that ship has sailed. China's strong military and police state would prevent such a thing from happening today. The only way I could see that happening would be by first crushing China in all-out war; but if you do that first then what use would the heroin be?
At least where I live (The Netherlands) for civil matters it is, as far as I know, about which story the judge finds most plausible.

In a criminal case, if the defendant remains silent then it is up to the prosecution to present enough evidence.

In a civil case, any argument made by the plaintiff that is not rejected or corrected can be accepted as true.

Of course, legal systems vary, but in general there is no right to remain silent during a civil case.
Can someone put this into context, or share a source that does? How does this compare to other causes of death, for example?

The NYT article has comparisons on the absolute level (i.e. comparing to peak car crash deaths and HIV deaths from 20-30 years ago) - but those are outdated and misleading because they not relative and don't account for e.g. population growth.

I am just trying to get a sense for the true magnitude of the problem, beyond the scary headlines.
Yep, and it seems that it's also primed to respond if there's been recent motion, versus sitting on the table.
Steam's discovery and categorization are pretty awful. Despite never having purchased an anime visual novel, played one, or even looked at a store page for one, Steam advertised them to me nonstop on the front page. I blacklisted anime. Problem solved. But then I just get lots of trash tier roguelikes. A couple years later, I realized that blacklisting anime actually blacklisted all Japanese games entirely -- even those without an anime art style, which is too bad.

My guess is that because those games are so inexpensive, they probably sell a ton of units irrespective of price and category, and if the system is optimized to show stuff that is moving a lot of units in a short period of time, it will bubble to the top.

The other day, the only good recommendation I've seen in a long time came up: Battle Brothers has a new DLC, even long after the devs said they were not going to make any. But that's the only one I can really think of.

I think most personalization features on marketplaces are kind of overrated. I care way, way, way more about sales than I care about 'personalization.' I am just about never going to buy something at full retail apart from daily essentials.

I think his problem more realistically is that his category is extremely weird. Adventure solitaire RPG? How would you even begin to SEO that product page in a way that didn't cause a ton of confusion?

Even something like Thronebreaker, which is basically a solo player card game RPG, does not try to distinguish itself on search. It promotes itself based on the strength of the Witcher brand and on Gwent.

If he did in fact physically touch her, then this isn't an ambiguous "he said/she said" problem, this is a violation of her personal boundaries.

There's an awful lot of stuff in that directory for that to be the case.

I was listening to Lex Fridman's AGI Podcast where Vladimir Vapnik came to talk about Statistical Learning[0] and his take on deep learning as compared to statistics/mathematics was dismissive. To paraphrase from memory, the problems deep learning is solving is not hard enough.

There has been a rift between the statistical community and ML community for a while and I see it similar to the arguments one makes when it comes to sciences vs engineering.

Consensus seems to be

There is no consensus. Your references [0, 1] both claim some variant of most-rapes-are-not-reported trope (I have not had time to look into [3]):

- "only about 40% of rapes are ever reported" [0]

- "the number of rapes and sexual assaults which are never reported or prosecuted far outweighs ..." [1]

Pretty much by definition of "not reported", it is difficult to believe that one can confidently make statements about the number of rapes that are not reported.
Another shortcoming of [0, 1] is that they don't in fact say what they mean by rape. The very definition of this term is controversial (e.g. statutory rape, which is nonforcible sexual activity in which one of the individuals is below the age of consent. Note also that the age of consent varies between different legal systems). This is a serious omission.

Given this, why should one take the rest of the articles serious?

Making a Ransomware Payment May Now Violate U.S. Sanctions
Uhh I think "journal" is a little generous (if we compare to actual papers/journals), even if that is the term Apple chooses to use. This is a well-written scientific article (maybe short paper, but not a regular-length paper) published on Apple's Machine Learning-focused blog.

My point isn't to be nitpicky. I just think that the truth is that this article falls somewhere an accessible digest article (e.g., Ars Technica) and an actual paper (e.g., a publication in NeurIPS or EMNLP).
Why L.A. should take warning from Anchorage's big earthquake
Bad things can work out for your own personal good. Or even the good of the whole of society. However, that doesn't make them not bad.

I'm glad that your situation worked out for your own personal good. Nice things happening to people make me happy. Things working out for people make me happy. However, the situation you describe is the latter not the former. That your bad situation, which ultimately worked out for you, did not personally bother you enough to be problematic (for you personally) doesn't make it a good situation. I'm glad that it didn't bother you. However, it may have bothered someone else.

Your situation was objectively bad not because it bothered or didn't bother you or another person. Your situation was bad because it was the result of a powerful entity externalizing their failures onto weak entities.

A manufacturing plant that has the ability to setup logistics to keep a plant running 24/7 is a powerful entity. A manufacturing plant that is able to support jobs for at least three different engineering disciplines (chemical, mechanical, electrical) is a powerful entity.

A powerful entity is able to hire additional staff to handle non-working-hour emergencies. That they didn't hire this staff was their failure.

But that's okay, they don't have to pay for this failure because they can force their employees to pick up their failure by working extra hours. The employees are weak entities because they do not have the ability to decline an encroachment of their working lives into their personal lives.

They could be sleeping, or eating, or spending time with their families, or spending time on hobbies, or spending time innovating with their discipline. All things which help society and the economy. But instead that time has been stolen to make money for something that already has plenty.
My very first job was tech support and then QA (because fewer bugs means less email) for a small team working on a popular product.

I started informing the developers every 2nd (or maybe it was 3rd) time I saw different people experiencing the same problem.

So by the time we'd had around 8 people reporting the same issue they'd gotten tired of seeing my face and fixed the bug.

It's the feedback that's important. A little friction in the path could be a good thing, as long as the people providing the friction have an incentive to do the right thing. I sat one room over from the devs, I was friends with one of them, (had designs on switching teams) and we all went to the same planning and status meetings, so my head was in the right place for this.

I recall many many years ago Dell cancelled a plan to move front-line QA overseas because they realized that there was a perverse incentive for an external team to keep quiet about frequently asked questions (because they're cheap to answer and you get paid by the call).

Those people in Arizona won't give a damn about how many people can't figure out the app, so long as users keep calling (ie, just good enough that you retain customers).
I agree. Apple also had an effort called "OpenDoc" which they gave up on.
I'm so glad this this article (unlike so many other representations of Jeff and Sanjay's work) does not overlook Sanjay's contributions.

I don't know what it is; maybe Sanjay is a weird (read: non-English) name, maybe it's that computing culture's obsession with lone hackers leaves no room for a partnership like Jeff and Sanjay's. Anyway, kudos to the New Yorker for not falling into that trap.
I'm a bit puzzled by your comment. Are you suggesting that we should have continued to over-prescribe?
UI Components development environment for Electron apps
Yea, we've heard this story numerous times. Has yet to happen, and dare I say, it never will.
Maybe your phone is malfunctioning? My iPhone 7 easily responds to Hey Siri from 10 or so feet away. It's not as good as HomePod, but seems to work well enough.
Not really something this dataset (which is just about # of deaths + drug that caused them) can tell you.

I'd imagine you'd need some sort of formal study of the data to try to assign why deaths are starting to decline/plateau and what share a certain thing is responsible for, there are other possible causes.

-------

Opiate prescriptions are falling pretty significantly. Number of prescriptions is down 22% from 2012-17, and volume (mg of opiates dispensed) dropped 12% in 2017 alone. https://www.aafp.org/news/health-of-the-public/20180425opioi...

That could be contributing to a decline in the "pipeline" of new addicts. Less people starting on them and lower doses and shorter durations when they are prescribed.

It would make sense for a decline spurred by that to not show up in opiate deaths for a few years, my impression is that most people spiral downward for a while before actually dying/ODing.
> Is this really an offense worth ending someone's career over?

In isolation? No. It's a social faux pas that should be responded to with apology and remediation. Nobody is perfect, after all.

As one incident in an overall pattern of abuse stretching one's career? Different matter. If this pattern holds, the accused doesn't need to be propped up as a role model for science communication.
Very nice API. I do have a question, and not to be dismissive, but is there a strong reason to use Forg over Validatejs. The APIs are pretty similar so I don't know what I would choose Forg over ValidateJS.

Some things to address:

* Typescript definitions

* ES/6 import documentation

* There are a lot of tiny typos in the readme, it would make sense to spell check that.

Thanks for the contribution.
> "&array" and "&array[0]" both refer to the same memory location, but they're of different types.

"&array[0]" also does a dereference, which may cause undefined behaviour if array is null or invalid. You can get fun stuff like the optimizer omitting null checks later on.
> This is cowardice.

That's offensive. These men have the right to do displays of virtue (such as only talking with an open door). Why do you presume that men must risk their jobs ? It sounds like some some macho-requirement.
Yes we do. We just compile them to ninja graphs and use those to do the actual builds. For the moment, the actual input descriptions can (but don't have to) come in makefile form.
