Labeled data is indeed a problem. The only sizable corpus I know of is TIMIT and it costs $300 and I think has prohibitions on commercial use. That said, phonetic labeling is becoming less important thanks to designs like this...

I wonder if you could bootstrap a sizable speech dataset by trawling audio off YouTube and then using one of the really good cloud speech recognition services to label it. :)

What point of view should we share? If it’s that violent crime does not exist or hasn’t affected people in London, then you are wrong.

If your point was that San Francisco has more homeless, or that Chicago is more violent, well, I never disputed that did I?
You could put it in a sealed box with a speaker and play audio into it, perhaps a feed of random tweets with "OK Google" prepended and run through a voice synthesizer. Add some entropy to their data.

I like this idea as well, and first encountered it at this site:

http://www.dprvoting.org/

Their system is called "Direct Party and Representative Voting" (DPR Voting) and it has some weird edge cases (like dealing with independent candidates, or parties that win a big vote share but no actual seats), but it definitely seems like an improvement over FPTP, and uses a very easy/quick ballot counting process (unlike IRV or Approval voting, for example).

Even having a designated x- and y- axis is some amount of structure, and you're right, a person has to be there to determine how they want to view/interact/interpret the structure. But it would be foolish to say that a csv with "time" and "value" columns is unstructured before a person comes along to plot time on the x-axis.

Horrible system.
I'm curious to see how Discord fairs in the long run. I've been a daily user of Discord for nearly 2 years now, and I think their core text-and-voice service is the best on the market (for now). However, whenever I hear about Discord's financials, it is always with regards to additional secured funding, and very little discussed about their userbase revenue. I see a notable number of "regular" users with Nitro, but very few so far seem interested in their game market. I'd be interested in seeing how well their cash input is fairing, especially with regards to Nitro. A few days ago, they gave away a large number of free Nitro benefits for a month, so I imagine that many users who had never tried it before (like myself) are being additionally tempted. We'll see if it pays off.

But it doesn't. 5G is an actual term (also known as IMT-2020 because of the release date) as defined by the International Telecommunications Union. 3GPP, who create the mobile standards like GSM/HSPA/LTE, also bases its standards on these IMT requirements.

At what point do we come full circle and just realize "consuming too much of anything is bad for you"?

I'm not trying to be flippant, but it feels like there is a study to support that just about anything can give you cancer. When do we just say "cancer happens no matter what"? Will we ever say that? Is that even the direction we're heading? It feels like the more we understand these diseases, the closer we come to the conclusion that they simply aren't preventable and no matter what you do you're always at risk. Obviously there are unhealthy lifestyles that increase your risk, but I feel like a study comes out every week linking something new to cancer.

Playing devil's advocate: it's purpose could be to help them not lie. Imagine if there are circumstances where you have good signal strength but still poor quality; a carrier could adjust the bars displayed to be more realistic.
Bachelor Thesis: Secure and scalable anomaly-based network intrusion detection
It's not a bad example because that definition was not in general use when the marketing practice started; at that time, kilobyte and megabyte had, in general use, exclusively the definitions later attached to kibibyte and mebibyte.
I regularly hear friends/family/colleagues/strangers complain or switch service provider on the basis of “I get like no bars at home” or “I only get 1 bar reception in the office on <carrier name>”.

This stuff is relatively meaningless in a technical sense given even a full set of bars still tells you nothing about contention, backhaul etc, but it probably matters in marketing/customer perception terms for the carriers.
Oh wow it just stuck me that the Morrowind "screen always red" bug and the Skyrim "the damn battle music won't stop playing" bug are probably a very similar bug.
To go a step further for GSM (I don't know precisely for 4G, but I suspect it is the same) the base station determines both handset dB/SNR/Quality and commands the handset power which usually is limiting performance. It is likely this setting that allows the handset to report its "number of bars"...

So if you don't let them lie on the handset... it's likely that the network providers would just start lying to the handsets at an even deeper level than they already do. Just get the marketing silliness out of the way at as high a level as possible so engineers can make our coverage better.

Production and consumption are different levers.

Yes, it would reduce the geopolitical power of KSA and Russia to reduce oil consumption. Reducing the global demand for oil will, in isolation, lower the price and undermine these autocratic regimes.

However, reducing the global demand for oil while simultaneously increasing the supply for oil from the free world will not only lower the price even more, it will also make it easier for the free world to achieve resource independence from autocratic oil states.
I've read a few of Hamming's books; they're all great, it seems. Numerical Methods and Methods of Mathematics I enjoyed particularly. I should try the rest. They're written at a level (I guess undergraduate) I can understand, and are ideal for 'experimental programmer' types.

I don't think I've seen them recommended anywhere (except the Learning to Learn one, which is now available on youtube), maybe they don't fit curricula or not advanced enough or outdated. I just really like his voice, and the way they're soaked with practical experience.

I don't understand how these companies can get away with so much. I had to find a plan a month ago, and none of these companies display their prices on their websites. They force you to go to a shop, where people don't want to show you the prices and the different plans either. You're met with aggressive sales people and you end up paying for something that you have no idea if it's fair or not.
If you run Firefox with the -P command line argument, a profile selection screen comes up in which you can create multiple profiles. These are completely separated (down to the HSTS state!) "accounts".

I don't know how MacOS works, but if you set your Firefox shortcut to firefox -P you can switch profiles by restarting Firefox. Granted, it's not as nice as Chrome, but it might still be of worth to you in some way.

> you can't do is to take Q units of heat energy from one body and transfer it all to a higher temperature body

Except it's not "heat energy", it's electromagnetic energy that's getting transferred. If the target object is smaller than the source object, you can have an amount of energy that will increase the target's heat above that of the source.
The equilibrium temperature of a grey-body is actually independent of its emissivity. A black-blackbody absorbs more radiation than a white-blackbody, but it also emits more. The emissivity factors in both on the absorption and emission side, so the equilibrium temperature is independent of it.

If this seems to fly in the face of all common experience, it's because things that look white aren't actually white in the infrared. Their emissivity is lower in the optical spectrum (where they absorb sunlight) than in the infrared (where they emit), so they are cooler than things that look black to us. In short, they aren't grey-bodies.

The situation is also more complicated because, as you say, that things we are used to also cool by other mechanisms.
It'll be interesting to see if anyone can reproduce their results, thus far its been troublesome: https://github.com/facebookresearch/wav2letter/issues/88
I know about the -P command, that is why I was referencing the -no-remote option ;) Firefox has multi-user, it's just janky.

You have to double click on your special shortcut with the command line option, and if some other program tries to open a url with firefox as the default browser with the -no-remote / -P command, then it will just not work if you have all users open.

While with chrome it's 2 clicks away and no edge cases making other apps opening urls not work.
To reverse it, I can't really think of anything skype does better than discord in a mildly gaming context honestly.
In my system, you have a number of additional pieces of information that are used to generate the password, including a counter and a salt. If you need to change your password, you would typically just increment the counter. You can also do this if the password policies don't allow your password for some reason.

This does mean that you need to remember what the version is. Fortunately this information doesn't need to be kept secret. I also have a system that generates emojis based on your settings, so as long as you remember the emoji that goes with the site, you can just increment it until you get the right one, so it's down to you whether you store the version number somewhere or remember the emoji.

I use URLs by default, but you can enter anything you want into the 'purpose' field. It's still pretty raw, but it's at https://github.com/kybernetikos/sinkless

Most of the complaints people have about deterministic systems don't really hold up in practice for me. Protecting them by 2fa would be better of course, which deterministic can't do and lots of the good password managers do, but I really dislike having to worry about syncing state beyond just emailing it to myself.

One thing that would be awesome would be if someone came up with a standard machine readable way of describing the limitations on passwords for sites (allowable characters, number of characters, any restrictions on previous values / sequences etc), and all good sites could embed that information, and poor sites could be looked up in a third-party service.
the statements from Brave people on this thread seem reasonable ; many inflammatory comments here do not seem reasonable
Yep; it’s important to note that the signaling required to coordinate P2P voice and video is no more expensive than “relaying some text” with modern protocols. The question is whether Discord can remain sufficiently innovative to be ahead of the next thing that tries to disrupt its model. I think it is sufficiently irreverent, and sufficiently independent from B2B stability needs, to be that innovative.

The "soul" of the internet was freedom. Using algorithms to exploit socially derisive and derivative tropes for profit isn't freedom. Manufactured consent isn't freedom.

It's actually very synergistic--if your geopolitical goal is to undermine the Russian and Saudi states, you want to reduce the price of oil. How do you reduce the price of something? Two ways: increase supply and decrease demand. So why not both?

Working with denormalized data in JavaScript
I'm gonna have to disagree with you there. Gamers today are not price-averse like they might have been when the gaming demographic was mostly teens.

After a peek at your website, I see I'm quite a bit younger than you. I know a lot of people who do not have much money, but they still consider it worth it to spend a chunk of their limited income on Discord Nitro. In some servers I've even seen young teens (13-14) spending their allowance money on it. It would be interesting, based on your anecdote, if most Nitro subscribers are young users. It might be due to the custom emotes, which are probably more desirable to younger users than older ones.

On top of that, Discord has become the main social media platform for some people. I can't imagine using it that way myself, but I know a lot of people who are in a massive number of servers and spend much of their day on it. It's not just gaming voice chat for them, it's an entire social network. These people, who also tend to be quite young, almost always have Nitro, because it's worth paying $5-10/month for their main online platform.

Maybe the main area of concern for Discord should be whether these young users keep their subscriptions as they age.

It's interesting to note that given the oft cited statistic that lotteries are disproportionally consumed by the poor, that amount they are disporportionally consumed and how that statistic is come by might not lead to the conclusions people often jump to:

The data reveal
the following general trends. First, lottery
gambling extends across races, sexes, and
income and education groups. Second,
black respondents spend nearly twice
as much on lottery tickets as do white or
Hispanic respondents. The average re-
ported expenditure among blacks is $200
per year ($476 among those who played
the lottery last year). Black men have the
highest average expenditures. Third,
average annual lottery spending in dollar
amounts is roughly equal across the low-
est, middle, and highest income groups.
This implies that on average, low–income
households spend a larger percentage of
their wealth on lottery tickets than other
households.[1]

Those in the lowest fifth in terms of socioeconomic status (SES) had the “highest rate of lottery gambling (61%) and the highest mean level of days gambled in the past year (26.1 days).” Moreover, there were “very few observed differences in lottery gambling for those in the three upper SES groups — 42–43% gambled on the lottery and the three upper groups averaged about 10 days of gambling on the lottery in the past year.”[2]

It's clear that the poorest people may more, and it's more of their relative income, but it's not anywhere near rate for other income groups to play as well.

The real interesting take-aways I see are what you get when you look at the following two facts (shown above):

- The lowest quartile income group only plays about 50% more often than the other quartiles (~60% compared to ~40%).

- Each tertile income group spends approximately the same amount of real dollars.

With these, it starts to look a lot less like some tax on the poor and/or stupid that people like to classify it as, and more as a cultural phenomenon (or something that plays to the human psychology, since I think it's fairly common in most cultures).

It may indeed be that the lottery works as an aspirational tool, as you note. But I think it must also be working in other ways, otherwise I'm not sure why we would see such large investment from higher income groups as well.

Nope. Sorry, Nick. Harold Gilliam has been publishing at least since '62 on the topic.

>if you set up a solar panel that directly feeds a resistor, you have a dissipative system that's unlikely to get hotter than the sun.

I guarantee you this can be done. Arc welding [1] goes to many thousands of degrees, up to 20,000C. A square mile of solar panels will most certainly give me enough energy to power an arc welder. In fact I will probably will get away with just 100kw of pwoer, so 500 panels give or take.

Sure, but if it has been audited, it's more likely that security issues were found and resolved than if it hasn't gone through one.

Our company went through an audit and did quite well, and we fixed most of the findings. However, I know for a fact that there are things we can do to improve that weren't covered.

Not all audits are created equal, no audit will catch everything, and there's no guarantee that findings were patched sufficiently. However, I feel much better knowing that an audit was done, which means the author cares at least somewhat about security.

After over six months of being harrased with “upgrade your skype for better experience”, I finally buckled up and clicked “ok”. When Skype came back in less than five minutes I felt that Microsoft read my mind, pickup all the features I loved and used daily, and deleted them off their new version! it simply blew my mind! In addition everything worked different! New Skype is entirely new messanger, not Skype upgrade. Thank God I was able to find previous version and still install it although I am sure eventually they will cut off old versions.
