I appreciate your comment. I know that having more than $100K in the bank would be a better safety net. Hell, having $5K would feel fantastic right about now. My point is merely that many people feel happy and comfortable with so much less than $10M, and it's absurd to believe otherwise. Most interlocutors here seem to have latched on to my pretty arbitrary figure of $100K and forgotten or ignored that original point.

What do you mean? Protein folding was already formulated as a deep learning problem in prior research. DeepMind used several engineering tricks that they previously used in their other DL work.

This is something that should really be solved by regulating bicycle lights sold, or a very broad public awareness campaign.

These cheap Chinese LED lights for the bicycle all come with a blink-setting, and like the <blink>-tag of yore, it serves no practical purpose. People tend to think blinking means you are easier to spot in the dark, which is true in the sense that it grabs attention, but as you mention, you can't really extrapolate where someone is going with a blinking light.

The use of the blinking setting is usually born from naivety. People use the setting, because it is included with the light — why else would it be there, if not to use it? Now imagine if every cyclist on a busy cycleway used the blink-setting. At that point this behaviour is downright selfish.

It's not too hard to regulate really. After all, you are already legally limited in what you can use (white/yellow front, red back, no blinking).
Perhaps turn off Javascript? I use a nice little JS toggle plugin in Firefox for that, and apparently I disabled JS for this site in the past, which is a sign they tried some BS when I last visited (and the site functioned fine without JS) :P
Not sure I agree... e.g. Donald Trump (a "populist") was mocking mainstream politicians etc ("drain the swamp") a lot of the time, whereas Hillary Clinton (a "liberal") had something to say about "deplorables"... These are just example, I'm sure there are plenty examples the other way, but I'm just saying that your claim isn't very correct.
Slightly surprising that Google Chrome is bringing up the back of the pack when it comes to incognito mode, Firefox and Safari can both view this site without the popup complaining about using incognito mode.
This seems like a hidden assumption.

Why would you not work doing whatever it is you do as an avocation, or if you like, a hobby or dream job? If it's what you love and what fascinates you, why would that not lead to income across your whole life? Granted, it'd take years to get to the point where it's sustainable, but surely there is tangible value in this?

I do not understand a mindset of 'My only purpose is to amass a pile of wealth so large that I don't spend any of it or do anything else ever, merely use the mechanisms of finance to subsist unproductively off the leakage from my giant pile of wealth, literally forever'.

How is this plan in any way good, ethical or beneficial to either the person or the society they're in? You're going to die having made no use of the hoard you seized, despite having taken it from others who need wealth of their own to survive. Rethink these assumptions.
Linux.

In all seriousness though: without knowing anything about state of the art AV software I question how effective even big brand software is without compromising your own operating system integrity these days.

Whenever I encountered cases of an infected system in the last 5 years or so it was nothing regular AV software could have caught anyway. Specific tools had to be downloaded for removal and if you put this in contrast to the annoying number of false positives you start to question the effectiveness. I imagine all of this is of course highly subjective.
It's just Bitcoin addresses, not linked to individuals, doesn't matter it's in the ledger. These people don't go through exchanges with KYC I'd assume. They might do something like localbitcoins or shady exchanges in countries like China/Russia.
Thank you. I’ll pass on reading The Bill Gates Guide to Being Poor and Happy About It too :)
But less information than with a non-blinking light. By blinking you are making it harder to extrapolate direction and speed from your observations.

I suspect deep learning researchers have no real incentive to use the minimum amount of data sufficient to get their thing working. The worst case for them is if their model underperforms because of insufficient data instead of something truly DL-related, so they use as much data as they have/can handle. It could still be that you're right, but I wouldn't rely on those kinds of published numbers.
Sorry, but I don’t think I can engage meaningfully if you expect me to prove a negative for the claim that you are making. That’s either a logical error or an attempt to make me do all the work, and the ‘claim’ ‘evidence’ part of your post doesn’t make sense.

some subs like offmychest ban anyone with a submission history to political subs like kotakuinaction as they perceive that someone with links to that subreddit cannot possibly contribute in a constructive manner. whether they are right or not is something only they as mods can perceive.

it is actually against reddit rules to auto ban users like that but it is part of the increasing number of rarely enforced rules on reddit
It works for any decidable/recursive predicate on bit sequences, i.e. one that is guaranteed to halt for any input.

`and` on an infinite bit sequence is not guaranteed to halt because it is co-recursively enumerable, i.e. it will reject bit sequences that contain `False`, but it will not halt on bit sequences that contain only `True`, since to verify that a bit sequence only contains `True`, you have to check all elements of the sequence.

> EU countries already have rather strict consumer protection laws but they really haven't been designed for situations where a hardware product can be rendered unusable by insecure software.

That is definitely covered by the standard 2 year warranty as insecurity (when security is expected) is seen as defect. If they don't fix it you get your money back. I successfully got my money back for several phones after 1 to 1.5 years.

There's plenty of creativity in tax avoidance and financial engineering.

Now, I'm not saying that is the kind of creativity you want to promote, but it certainly is there. There are many people who have fun doing this kind of work.
I remember that there is another project that is similar to this. They divided the whole world in to grids and assign a code to each one.
Not defending Chrome, but if websites are willingly blocking users carrying about their privacy, then maybe you shouldn't read those websites.

Ah, thanks for the info. That indeed makes sense.
It will reduce their motivation to keep paying taxes in this particular country.
I consider myself a reasonably well-read person. I read often and fast so I manage to get through a decent number of books, mostly novels, each year. I don't stick to any particular genres and can sensibly discuss anything from Shakespeare to Harry Potter.

I think I might get on with this author because I don't think about the authors of the books I read much at all. I have next to no interest in their personal lives or their circumstance -- only their stories. I remember the names of authors who impress me, but that's about it.

In any case I know about Her(Him?) now, so I guess I'll see if she's any good.

Perhaps it's just me but the article makes it look like rich people only ever hang out with other rich people.

Hang out with people who aren't rich and you'll notice they're just as happy as everyone else.

I happened to grow up with classmates whose parents were both billionaires and cab drivers. There's research that suggests beyond a certain threshold you won't get happier from any extra money and that certainly seemed to be the case.

Mandarin Chinese has more sibilants than English, so I don't know what you're talking about. The English sibilants are s, z, ts, ʃ, ʒ, tʃ, dʒ. The Mandarin sibilants are s, ts, tsʰ, ɕ, tɕ, tɕʰ, ʂ, ʈʂ, ʈʂʰ.

Then again few rich people will engage in this creative task on their own - most will probably just hire an accountant.
> This shows a pretty big disconnect.

Yes it does. That was my point.

For starters, you're assuming I'd want to live off the investment, instead of continuing to work.

Regardless, I shouldn't have mentioned the arbitrary figure of $100K, which has made it so much easier for people to ignore my point, that many people are comfortable with much less than $10M.
A more handwavy, but conceptually sound argument is that these functions to generate bit sequences can themselves be represented as turing machines. And if they can be represented as turing machines, we can write them down as a string (or a bit sequence).

In general, a bunch of magic happens once you recognize (heh) that the sets of turing machines, strings (binary or otherwise), and integers are all countable and that you can biject between them fairly cleanly.
Reminds me that to do just about anything, you need tools, and most importantly measurement tools. Metrology is subtle. I'd love to know how to make sub milligram scale.

$10M is a pretty standard “set for life” goal based on a 3% annualized rate of return.

It’s obscenely difficult to get there, but an entirely reasonable and well-defined goal for people who are willing to compete (and, with high likelihood, fail) in the market to get there.

It’s up to you to decide if you’d like to pursue that path. There are plenty of paths to stability without setting that goal; you’ll just find yourself arguing with a self-selected subset of people targeting it when you post on a place like HN.

You shouldn’t wish ill upon them, and they shouldn’t wish ill upon you. We’re all just figuring life out on our own, but if you’re in a professional career in your ~30s you’ll hear “$10M” (USD, or in North America) as a pretty standard target for a “dream amount.”
a.) Amazing

b.) I wish people today would stop thinking people back then war "stupid", people have the same intelligence for the last 10k years and the same thought processes (e.g. when reading Sumerian texts) but not the same tools or knowledge. So someone from old Greece would come up to speed very fast and then make inventions in our time frame based on our knowledge. You could argue with him the same way you can argue with todays scientist.
Regarding flicker: Use the slow-mo video function of your smartphone camera to check for it.

I'm pretty well-read, although not really in the "general literary" genre. And I also only heard about her a few months ago.

That said, the person who introduced her to me made it quite clear that Elena Ferrante is extremely well known, and was shocked that I hadn't heard of her. And I've seen then somewhat confirmed this - she is indeed pretty famous (e.g. this article).

So I understand the boat you're in... let's just consider ourselves today's lucky 10,000 :)

(And no, I haven't read her book yet, but I'm planning to).
I recently walked along a road with some Christmas lights (installed by the city) with the most horrible flicker. When looking at them straight on you could just notice it, but from the corner of my eye it was really bad and distracting. I wonder if there have been any studies done on the dangers for drivers of LED flicker.

Sadly it's easily possible to get into situations where the hospitals and society are "functioning", but civil society has decided not to give you any medicine. It seems to be an occasional problem in the US, but also happened during e.g. the Greek financial crisis.

Antibiotics are one thing, but I know several people who are dependent on insulin, and more who are dependent on more complex cutting-edge medication. This is why we need to keep the supply lines open, civil society civil, and international trade operating.

I used to feel ache and pain on the shoulder and wrist. I've tried a lot of kind of keyboard, mouse, mousepad, wristpad, etc. Still not really helpful.

One day I suspect that those pain are result of my overall bad health(from sitting in front of screen for years and years) and have little to no exercise at all and not just
single cause, and decide that I had enough and start training everyday in the morning — getting stronger, fitter, lift weight, loss weight, eat better, drink more water, more sleep. less stress — all kind of things I never to before in my life. I'm the worst person when comes to exercise, but feel I have to change my habit, or else I'll deep in this life of pain forever.

I found that's work for me! I don't feel pain anymore, I feel much fitter and healthier overall. Better than any ergonomics keyboard or mouse out there.

Anyway, good tools is still better than bad tools I guess.

For keyboard, I used to use tenkeyless Logitech gaming keyboard. Good keyboard, but I found that it is too big for my hand and have to stretch my pinky finger to reach the modifier keys all the time, which made my hand sore after just a few hours. I then switch to another quality keyboard: the Apple Magic keyboard and really happy about it since it have a lot less key travel. Really good keyboard except the weird directional key layout that need to get used to.
You're right, these languages have a slightly different aim but it's exactly the same motivation.

I do work in rural Kenya, and the big problem what 3 words has is that the words are totally randomly allocated around the world. A REALLY important attribute of addresses is that they can be vague.

"He's on High and 23rd", "I live on Monroe", "Near Jomo Kenyatta Airport", etc.

The biggest mistake what 3 words made was not making the first two words be a geocoding of the approximate area and the last word could provide additional precision. It looks like google plus codes fixed this which is actually a huge improvement.
It's beautiful except that (1) it could vanish instantly and irreparably if they went bust, because it's not a public database and (2) I'd rather not have a single corporate entity be a gatekeeper of my ability to locate things.
Financial institutions now are refusing to serve the "Intellectual Dark Web". I predict that the internet will split soon, and Russians and Chinese are more than willing to give backbone for that.

And of course the European Copyright-Nazi will be sealed in too.

"Full day" absolutely matters though, especially if you want to attract passive candidates.

If I'm unemployed, then full day is fine.
If I'm really keen to get out of my current job, or really keen to work for you, then I might do it.
But if I'm just exploring opportunities, or I have other options in progress, then I'm not taking a day off just to interview.

With any interview when it might be really obvious 10 minutes in that it's not going to work. If I've scheduled that during my lunch break, or for an hour before/after work, then that's a small cost.

If I take a day off work to interview, then that's costing me in the order of $1000. If I don't know whether I want to work for you, then why would I do it?
And I definitely can't do that for 5-10 different roles that I might apply for.

A full day is also quite hard work. Interviews are stressful. Dealing with people you don't know, trying to make sure you don't do/say something stupid, it gets exhausting.

I generally expect 4-6 hours worth of interviews before an offer, but the typical process stretches those over a few weeks, which allows the candidate to fit them into available blocks of free time, and gives the candidate oppotunities to think about how things went, what questions to ask, whether this seems like the right fit, and pull out at any point.
Sorry for the bit unedited/rough comment but I don't have too much time so I'm typing pretty fast.

(1) Learning how to program

(2) Hacking hardware

(3) Learning Andy McKee Rylynn on guitar while only knowing Wonderwall (there's a YouTube tutorial).

(4) Breathing/anapana/'basic'/the-first-meditation-beginners learn meditation and Tonglen (see the book search inside yourself for instructions) meditation [1].

(5) In general: by bootcamping yourself. Also known as being woefully underprepared and then just do it for 8 to 16 hours per day (the hours depend on how the rest of your life balance is, your health must be ok).

I wasn't talented at hardware hacking and hated programming when I started with it. It was my curiosity that said: can't you learn to like it? You can create awesome things with it!

Curiosity + the promise of creating awesome things + observing myself and being rational on how to influence myself = learning how to program despite hating it initially.

But in general: focus a lot on what you're doing and focus as deep as you possibly can and do that for as long as possible. This state is in some was easier to get into if you're doing a topic that seems super hard for you to learn and that you don't know a lot about.

For physical toughness: learn the Wim Hof Method -- adrenaline whenever you want it. I'm pretty sure that will help for developing physical toughness.

[1] In my experiene the following meditations don't develop mental toughness, they only develop empathy or a form of emotional intelligence: Vipassana/body scan/mindfulness, loving kindness keditation/metta (yes the same metta as my username implies).
Thanks for mentioning Racket. I'm aware of the language but didn't know it know it was designed specifically for "language-oriented programming".
It seems to me that it's stating facts about the essays, not necessarily making or quoting a broader statistical statement. It's like a reviewer writing that "Hunter Thomson writes about his time in Las Vegas which is largely drink and drug fueled" and you asking for statistical proof that Las Vegas dynamos run on beer and cocaine. The review is talking about the subjects of the specific works being reviewed, not necessarily the world at large. That's why I quoted more context from the review, to make that clearer.
