I always viewed the singularity-utopia / terminator-dystopia with a certain disbelief. In the end what drives all the progress and innovation is the demand. There will be new demands once the old ones are met.

Saddlers, Water-Carriers, Coal delivery men all went out of business, but productivity, income, quality of life is up compared to then and no one wants to have those jobs back.

Disruption will occur, but most of humanity will profit. If you want to help, concentrate on helping those that need to make a transition, instead of spreading fear of progress. Because then you'll just increase the amount of people in need to transition and reduce the available capital to help them out.

Unfortunately you're confused about Bayesian statistics. A classic Bayesian analysis of coin flips would look something like:

x_i ~ Bernoulli(p)
p ~ Beta(1,1)

For which the posterior IIRC:

p | x ~ Beta(n_tails+1, n_heads + 1)

Which, if you look up the variance of the Beta distribution, you will see a credible interval p shrink around the truth of p=0.5 if the coin is indeed fair.

This encapsulates the fact that if we have 5 heads and 5 tails we think the coin is fair. But if we have 500 heads and 500 tails we still think the coin is fair, but we're much more confident that it is so.

There are free and built-in screen readers: NVDA[0] (Windows), VoiceOver[1] (Apple) and Orca[2] (Linux).

I've been only working with NVDA so far. I highly recommend this NVDA Cheatsheet [3] to get a quick overview. It's also important to test NVDA with Firefox, as it has a better compatibility and thus it is the more common setup for users relying on a screen reader. Look into the difference between "Browse Mode" and "Focus Mode" (briefly explained in the cheatsheet) and how to switch between them. In the Focus Mode you can just tab through all of your focusable elements and check if the announced texts are understandable and no information is missing. In Browse Mode you go through all of the non-focusable content, and again, check if the output is clear and no (implicit) information is missing. This applies especially to all custom components which may announce gibberish if not handled correctly.
Finally, you can look into my slides and examples for my "Accessible Web" talk [4].

Not quite accurate, the Russian space agenecy (and before that the Soviet) have tried several times to replace the Soyuz, without succeeding for various reason, but the main reason is lack of resources. Right now it looks like maybe the Soyuz 5 rocket and the Federation capsule may make it.

It depends.

Firstly NFS only really works reliably when your network has harmonised UIG/GIDs. Thats the first pain point. This normally means LDAP/AD or shipping /etc/passwd (_shudders_) Also you need to squash root, otherwise people who are local root can do lots of naughty things.

Then you have to make sure that your mountpoint doesn't go away, because stale file handles are a pain in the arse.

Then you have file locking, which causes loads of other pain aswell. Most people turn that off.

After that its mostly alright.

nfsv4 has certain things that are good (pNFS, kerberos, etc) but support was not that great.
There isn't much going on here, all that happened here was that eBay Japan decided to expose their git directory to the world and also decided to store their wp-config.php file in git... Both not recommended practices. Hilarity ensued.

> I could just use multiple HDMI inputs on the main monitor and switch when I need to

That's perfect if you have multiple inputs. If you don't, a simple KVM switch would do the trick too. Unfortunately they're a little pricy for HDMI due to low supply/demand.

I have a soundcard primarily for offloading as much audio processing from the CPU as I can. Music playback of high-bitrate files is far from perfect even when you're using a soundcard, with frequent crackling, but using WASAPI mode all but completely clears up crackling when I play music.

It's also worth noting that if your passed-through GPU is decent enough, you can just use the HDMI as an audio source.

I also have a USB audio interface for my mic and instruments, directly connected to a passed-through USB controller instead of using the soundcard inputs, which helps reduce the noise floor.

Having a dedicated USB controller is very important for reducing latency. A lot of computers nowadays come with at least two, but if you have one then you'll need to get a cheap but reliable USB PCI card. And you have to be careful selecting which chipset because not all of them support Function-Level Reset which means you can only pass through once before needing to restart your computer, and not all of them correctly implement Message Signaled Interrupts which means you could have problems passing through certain configurations of PCI devices.

From here, my next plan is to purchase one of these[0] which may mean I don't even need a soundcard for output at all. It might be the best solution for virtualization right now in terms of latency and offloading processing from your CPU.

However the soundcard might still be necessary if this DAC doesn't support processing at different bit-rates on the fly. Currently my setup allows for me to play songs with different bitrates at their natural bitrate when using WASAPI, preventing the need for downsampling or upsampling. Reaaaaally noticeable with things like raw video game MIDI formats where different bitrates sound completely different.

Your processor should be fine, my 6700k and 16GB of RAM are plenty. Though if we weren't still in a NAND shortage I would upgrade to 32GB.

i dont believe there is sense in naming it so people can scape goat it anf solve things by avoiding one bad university. because i think the BA/MA system is a road paved with good intentions. but its leading us to hell.

naming any singular entity would just make us think its them to blame, and i believe the problem is endemic.

i sat once on a table with PHD students and complained about the quality of introductory courses, where i was then sternly put back in my place with "a university does not prepare for work! it prepares for research!"

i told him someone should tell that to all the students enrolling to CS in hopes of careers.

not all maybe true, but its more likely most. maybe its this cynism.

solving this isnt easy, i would just like to open a school myself, and offer guidance / support for people struggeling as i did myself back then.

and my advice to most people who want to pursue CS is to do it via apprenticeship and later approach a technical university.

the drama/pitty is that this is a process that starts at 17. when we are most clueless.
Isn't AI vs ML mostly a matter of branding, the latter being a subset of the former?

I thought that researchers rallied behind the ML moniker to get funding at a time when the AI winter meant you couldn't get money to do "AI" research.

ML ended up encompassing the AI topics that were hot during that time frame.

Soyuz does the job alright, but its a complex system that could be simplified with what we know today, for example the Soyuz launcher have 20 main engines in a complex arrangement that was the cause of the last accident.

Is the majority really in favor of being loud? I personally believe that it is in fact a minority - just a loud minority. People who enjoy silence are also usually less vocal about their interests - sadly. Because from a public health perspective it's the loud people who can learn something from those enjoying silence.

USSR/Russia did try new programs [somewhat] similar to US ones:

- lunar mission https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/N1_(rocket) : utter failure in particular because of unability to build bigger engine (like F-1).

- Buran (similar to Shuttle) : technical success while somewhat unnecessary economically in much similar vain like Shuttle ... plus USSR collapse

- modular architecture (Falcon 9/Heavy) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Angara_(rocket_family) : 25+ years of development and still behind SpaceX

- Russia seems to currently have no program, although it had it 50 years ago (RD-270), similar to the SpaceX's currently being developed full flow engine https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Raptor_(rocket_engine_family)

Flying and improving Soyuz (especially through the tough times of 199x and beginning of 200x) is definitely a success, albeit a kind of a forced one. Another great thing - refusal to sell warhead-less ICBMs to Musk in 2000 and thus forcing him to develop his own launcher :)

Going forward i think the iterative engineering wouldn't allow to compete even close with SpaceX truly high-tech game changing features like the first stage reuse and probably Dragon2 capsule reuse. And Musk/SpaceX seems to be just warming up :)
While it may sound absurd, I do think there's merit to what he's saying. Expectations can be hard to deal with, especially when you're selling cheap, humble food. How do you balance trying to sell a $10 meal with the expectations of a foodie waiting hours to get in? And then how do you cook for volumes significantly higher than what you designed your restaurant for? It's easy to say hire more people, but sometimes the secret sauce is simply a cook who cares, and you can't always hire that (especially at a low price point).

> In chess, you have to make mistakes to lose.

That's a conjecture. Nothing more. Nobody knows whether it is true! It is possible that a perfect player playing White may make you lose every time. It's even possible (though highly doubtful) that this holds for Black instead.
It's not like there can't be an accurate way to measure this.

Pre-register patient problems, and see how fast doctors solve problems on average/median. Then it doesn't matter how jovial/amicable the doc is.

With enough data you can fish out potential signals (and then test them properly), maybe bedside manner really doesn't matter, maybe being on time is more important. (Because then people spend less time in the clinic among other sick people.)

And as others mentioned the teacher eval problem can be solved by splitting the lecturer, exam writer and grader roles. (Grading should be done by a book written as edge cases accumulate, edge cases should be handled without names to prevent bias, as much as possible.) And then aggregate stats can be published about each class and school.
The promise and all the overhead of real distributed blockchains is that you should avoid any need to trust anyone, and if you're really paranoid then you should not trust even your own database copy. All this could be hacked just as Amazon can. Power of real distributed ledger is that as long as less than 50% of the data copies (consensus) are not hacked, then database as whole can be trusted. Now if you can hack also consensus, then even blockchain is hackable. With the "centralized ledger" you don't have the consensus protection level, therefore I see only marginal (if any) security improvement on top of just plain database with properly applied access control and auditing. You still have way more parties you need to blindly trust.

I was wrong. Police kill twice as many whites but I shouldn't have included the unarmed qualifier.

He did attack but I think it still qualifies. I personally didn't hear of this one but a google search shows it was covered, even if not very extensively. It was picked up on national news.

Even still, the comment that law enforcement is wholesale killing young unarmed black males is just false.

What I actually do. My job is super interesting, but I can't find a good way to explain it to outsiders. I am a software engineer in the games industry. If I worked on gameplay it would be a bit easier, but I work on core tech/central engine tools. A layperson has no idea what that means and any examples I can think of to give them are just as confusing unless they already have some familiarity with AAA game dev infrastructure and workflows. This is surely a failure of me not being able to find a good way to explain it yet; it feels like I'm working on so many different things in this area that there isn't a single clear-cut description I can come up with that an outsider would easily understand.

For what it's worth, ebay.co.jp is actually not running on their main platform. You can see the difference in the HTML code between ebay.com, ebay.de (both on the main platform) and ebay.co.jp (wordpress based). I actually don't even know if they are showing eBay listings on that website...

Good find though, and embarrassing failure. Especially since most eBay properties have penetration testing and automated scanners being run on them
Do they have internet? Because if they do, then cloud9 IDE is an excellent way to teach, any language too.

One of the best examples of this is CS50x from Harvard, which uses it (and other cloud services) to give students an IDE, automatic helpers, debuggers and code checkers.

Node is easy to set up and get going with, but if you’re teaching people how to hack, maybe it’s better to teach them something much more low level so they can actually build real things? I mean, if you want to build a solar powered aquafarm, or water pump, then C or Python and a raspberry gets you a lot further than JavaScript, and with C you actually learn how computers work.

But I guess it depends on the circumstances, and not knowing yours, then perhaps JS is a good choice.

Yeah, I am not sure if it is in their best interest to not do so.

Other people finding flaws with eBay might be more tempted now to sell it to the highest bidder rather than expose it to them.

Well I did that in the startup I worked in previously. And no, they are not gonna call you for your shitty service. They are pretty stable.

Guess what? We knew how to configure private clouds, loadbalancers, sharding and high availability. We pretty much know everything about Kubernetes/Amazon ECS et. al and related technologies and we didn't have any problems with monitoring or low level networking among others either.

I went down the ARIA rabbit hole this year. Christ almighty. It's understandable why anyone who isn't specifically specialized in this fucks it up. The documentation is arcane, redundant and lots of it is inapplicable.

However, it was a fantastic learning experience, and integrating ARIA roles into my Mithril [0] components meant I only really had to implement some boilerplate once. It still took months of reading and I'm still far from an accessibility "expert" but I feel like a much better developer as a result.

It's seriously staggering how many steps backwards we've taken in terms of accessibility with the advent of modern frameworks, which is why I was very happy that integrating ARIA into Mithril was a cinch. A lot of this stuff is supposed to come for free with modern browsers but JS templating engines completely destroy the expected state of the document, with the most prominent and immediate examples being the lack of handling live updates, keyboard navigation, and forms correctly.
