The days where the state run website only runs code written by the guy in the department who knows how to spell HTML are long gone. Everyone is working on a very small subset of the huge stack of complexity that makes someone else's browser on someone else's device made by someone else on someone else's network linked by someone else's CDN to someone else's datacenter that hold someone else's server hardware which runs someone else's OS which hosts someone else's server stack and uses someone else's framework to show the data you actually wrote. If your non-technical boss can't explain that some parts of this chain aren't under their complete control they're just not being honest.

No it's not. And there's very little side effect if you buy from reputable brands. About the only issue I have is that it's difficult to find melatonin in the appropriate dose (0.3mg); it's far more common to find 3mg or even 10mg.

IQ is a significant measurement that should not be ignored but I think it's important to see intelligence as a social process. There are a lot of people that I know I would score much higher on an IQ test but they are way better in expressing their thoughts. That matters a lot. And often what makes people "smart" is being able to juggle different perspectives which takes time to expose yourself to those perspectives.

You can get smarter by reading and people should be told that.

Yeha, why can we track an Uber no matter what - but we put our kids on a bus and have no idea where it is.

However, I balance this with the fact that I firmly believe that kids should have complete freedom to play outside and have a mental curfew of "be home by dark/dinner" and let them roam and play and explore and learn and fall and be.
> At the first company, the authors found that face-to-face interactions were more than three times higher in the old, cubicle-based office than in an open-plan space where employees have clear lines of sight to each other. In contrast, the number of e-mails people sent to each other increased by 56% when they switched to open-plan. In the second company, face-to-face interactions decreased by two-thirds after the switch to open-plan, whereas e-mail traffic increased by between 22% and 50%.

This has also been my experience.
Ageism is a huge thing in India too when it comes to hiring, especially in the IT consultancies. Since they want to ahow cheap rates to their customers, they hire a lot of 0-6 year experienced folks. It becomes harder once you cross 10 years.
The way I understand neural networks to work, they are actually series of connected infinitely valued logic gates, where given a numerical input from neg infinity to positive infinity, it spits out another number from neg infinity to positive infinity that feeds into the next set of logic gates, and at the end gives you a confidence interval from 0 to 1 of whether there was a pattern match or not.

To me it's very similar to Boolean logic circuits the way I was taught those in college except that there's too many gates to configure manually so you use supervised learning to find reasonable values and an arrangement of gates that works (aka your trained neural network).

I've never heard anyone else describe it this way but this is how I like to think about it. It really has nothing to do with how the human brain or much less human mind works. That's just marketing speak.
I believe cost-cutting was the real-driver and everything else was bravo sierra. Pretty much everyone in an open office wears a headphone to shut-out distraction, and prefers emails/chats to face-to-face.
The us involved Canada in this trade war on purpose by issuing this arrest warrant that we had to execute because of our legal agreements with the us. Now the Chinese is retailating against us and we will have to respond. Great.

In my mind, machine learning is simply one class of algorithm primarily oriented towards multidimensional fuzzy pattern matching. This technique can easily be classed as a subset of digital signal processing concerns. Everything tacked onto the sides of this (LTSMs, etc.) in some attempt to increase the cleverness or scope of the ML network (aka self-driving cars and other assorted high magickery), seek to band-aid something that is fundamentally flawed for these purposes.

A ML network does not have intrinsic, real-time mutability in how it is defined, outside the scope of memory-based node weights, inputs, outputs or graphs over time. These nodes are added, removed or modified based on a predefined set of input, output and internal mappings. How would intermediate layers be defined in a dynamic way between input and output in such a network in an attempt to achieve these higher powers? Driving a car, for instance, is a task that requires learning entire new subsets of skills, many times ad-hoc, that require intermediate models to be dynamically developed which are potentially outside the capabilities of our understanding. The biggest challenge I see today is that we don't necessarily have a good way to dynamically construct models of the intermediate layers (such that we can map them to other layers), especially if these layers are being added and removed dynamically by algorithms at the edge of our capability to understand.

I've always felt that there needs to be some internal processing occurring at rates far higher than the input sample rates such that higher-order intelligence may emerge by way of adjusting the entities noted above multiple times per input sample (and potentially even in the absence of input). The problem is also going to come down to how a person would define outcomes vs how an AI/ML network would. For the future to really begin we will need an AI that can understand and reason with what success and failure feel like in our abstract terms. This will require it to have the capacity to dynamically construct abstractions which we would have no hope of modelling ourselves, as we do not have very deep insight into the abstractions upon which the biological human brain implements virtually any behavior today. There is no amount of discrete math in the universe which can accurately model and assess the higher-order outcomes of decisions made in our reality. You can run ML disguised as AI in simulations and environments with fixed complexity all day, but once you throw one of these "trained" networks out into the real world without any constraints, you are probably going to see very unsatisfactory outcomes.

I was directed to ask these questions here. Perhaps someone can help.

>They can be modified and multiplied indefinitely in the culture dish

What conditions exist within a culture that allow stem cells (or other cells) to replicate without regard for the Hayflick limit? I was totally unaware that we had extended it (not defeated it) in any life more complex than a worm. And on the topic of the Hayflick limit…

>What is special about the reprogrammed cells of the Heidelberg researchers is that they are a homogeneous cell type that resembles a stage of neural stem cells that occurs during the embryonic development of the nervous system.

Are they saying that the stem cells can be reprogrammed into cells that more greatly resemble younger human cells, or that they're actually being made into scientifically-defined younger cells? How is that even possible? I was under the impression that all cloned cells retained their telomerase length. As such, any clone (or cloned tissue) made from them isn't going to be any more "youthful" than the original. If the case is that an entirely cloned organism is made, it will only a life expectancy as long as the original has LEFT to live–since the telomere isn't restored to its original length.

I guess they wouldn't call it a "regenerative" therapy if they hadn't fixed the telomere length problem in the cloned cells, but… if they have, isn't that sort of the single biggest fucking deal in human history? Isn't this the first time that human cells have been genuinely restored to youth, and could therefore be reapplied into a person to extend his life? And, thereafter, be the gateway into figuring out how to simply restore the DNA of cells in the body without excision and replacement?

Thanks for any answers!

To each his own. I think that open office or cubicles kill any kind of conversation that works for me. I prefer one-on-one or small group discussions outside the public view. I used to work in small team rooms (2 to 6 people) and I can say for sure that I had many more good conversations in that setup compared to the cube farm I am sitting in now. Due to the noise most people wear headphones making even approaching them awkward.

He just went about it in the typical manner of people who act like the people who field these disputes aren't customer service representatives earning $0.50 per hour reading out automated scripts like literal NPCs with no freedom to act whatsoever. When dealing with these kinds of issues you have to realize that it's not personal. It is like getting mad at a voice chat app for misunderstanding you. There is nothing personal about it.

There are a few things that could help to improve this process: force people making claims to verify their identity positively (he does bring this up in his video), improve the technology at the Copyright office to provide both platform owners and copyright owners some method to generate keys that verify that claims are accurate and authorized, and for more people who are victims of false claims to sue the people who are making them.

I think ideally copyright owners would have to go to Copyright.gov, enter the registration number(s) that they own that they want to enforce using the account that made the registration, generate a time-limited key using the system, and then enter that key into their copyright complaint on the platform that they want to police their IP on. When GooFaceZon processes the complaint, they would check with the copyright.gov server to verify that an authorized copyright owner made that complaint within the timeframe provided by the system. That way even if there is some kind of account compromise at some point the damage can be limited.

I don't actually know if that'd be the best system, but something like that would be a great improvement over the current system of being able to make any kind of fake claim with no verification.

I went the other way. I enjoyed using VueJS. But the quality of the library and community on React seems a bit better.

It probably helps that I’ve really been learning JS with TS after a decade of Python, and the TS community is pretty good in Reactiflux.

a couple other thoughts:

- the single file concept with Vue is awesome. But I find it irrelevant with JSX - and I never could get it fully working in my IDE (VSCode or VIM)

- the patterns seem to be more established in React (which is helpful to someone who’s learning and developing).

- the VueJS libraries that I used were often a reaction to a React library and seemed to be an afterthought, unfortunately.

All in all, I like having experience in both, but I don’t see a reason to go back to VueJS in the near future.
I feel sorry for people who have nothing to contribute to conversations, and whose attempts to contribute are so obnoxious or dull that they find themselves ignored or ostracized and don’t understand why.

2. It's a critical thing for some customers like The Middle east
3. If it's a hidden Easter Egg hard to trigger, it's ok; but it's not.
I'd love to see more information about the assertion that there are innate qualities in people which make them Larks versus Owls.

I believe I am a night owl. On an average day, I don't get tired until 2am, and without an alarm clock I could sleep until 10am; by any definition this makes me a night owl.

But, I question how much of this behavior is environmental versus innate. I drink a lot of coffee (never after 6pm). I work on a computer all day (blue light). My hobbies generally come alive at night (video gaming, spending time with friends, concerts). I have a naturally addictive and obsessive personality combined with low self-control (when I get started on something, like a new work problem or video game, I can't put it down).

Is there research in the area of identifying actual biological reasoning behind why someone would be an owl versus a lark (genetics, etc)? Or do all of these studies just rely on behavioral self-reporting, which even the article says, is completely vulnerable to the very real problem that people really only know their behavior in the face of all of their vices, and that behavior might be different if the vices weren't there.

The reason I believe that's important is because it should be a factor in our response to this. Yes, people need sleep, and they need good sleep. But if a big reason why you get tired at 2am and thus wake up at 10am is because you're watching Netflix in bed until the minute you shut your eyes, we can't ask society to accept that starting work at 11am is fine.

Going to have to disagree with the comment on CSS-in-JS.

CSS-in-JS is one of my favorite parts of the React ecosystem. Style as a function of state is such a natural extension to React's programming model that I end up cringing a bit every time I have to go back to writing a bunch of different classes and applying them conditionally. Representing styles as data also means you have the full power of JavaScript at your disposal to compose and manipulate styles (not to mention access to a proper module system), whereas with plain CSS you're limited to a handful of mixins offered by whatever post-processor you choose, and those in turn are generally limited in terms of expressiveness themselves by nature of only being able to perform simple string interpolations, since that's the format they have to deal with.

I think these benefits are analogous to the benefits of HTML-in-JS a la JSX over traditional JS-in-HTML templates. I'm honestly struggling to see why someone would prefer HTML-in-JS but not CSS-in-JS.

Canada should've jumped on it and used it as an excuse to let her go as she would not be receiving a fair trial in the US. In general the extradition treaty that Canada has with the US needs revision badly as it forces Canada to turn over anyone to the US without much process. There should be a lot more process involved before Canada turns over anyone to the US.
>I drink a lot of coffee (never after 6pm).

This is insane to me. I've drank a lot of coffee before (6+ cups per day), but if I ever drink caffeine past 2PM I don't sleep until after 2AM. Have you experimented with your caffeine intake? I highly suggest it. Once I found the correct dose (1-2 cups before 10am, no more til the next day) I've found myself to feel much, much better.

As with most things, the right answer is a combination of things. Cal Newport describes a plan called the Eudaimonia Machine in the book Deep Work, which seems it would make a great office space. Offers a open plan for when you need to do rote work / bookkeeping, and a solo sound proof office when you need to concentrate. Think the Basecamp office is also built this way, with a central open plan hub with private offices as spokes.
I think this sort of illustrates just how hard iterative development is for most people to grasp. It's similar to how junior engineers frequently aim for the final finished product on the first iteration whereas most experienced engineers will iterate on development when in unfamiliar spaces.

I think it definitely varies for each person. If I let myself sleep until I wake up 'naturally' - it's usually 9-10 hours. I'd love to be able to get somewhere in the 6-8 hour range.

Investing in noise cancelling headphones dramatically increased my productivity and well being. Not just in the office but using them to dampen urban environmental noises during the commute.

The other side benefit was that it created a nice ritual for getting into the zone whenever I need to.

I'm sure managers love open offices because they can keep a pulse on office activities but anything that requires thinking really benefits from less noise and random intrusions.
Live in the spirit of the law not the letter of the law. I never took DRY as an excuse for premature optimization or to it's logical extremity in practice. To me applying WET principles would be indistinguishable from DRY in practice. I think it's better to understand that than to redefine the law.
