> These jobs, these people slipping through the cracks are the transition to something I hope is better.

Some people may be slipping through the cracks, but others are doing far better than anyone could ever imagine. Crises do stir stuff up, but in this case the net result to society is far too positive to imply it's a bad thing.
One of the barriers to seeing more of this is the current focus on ”team-ism”. In the technical world, practices like pair programming and daily stand ups are big drivers of regular working hours in a field that was historically one of the better ones for individual flexibility.
Power consumption is not a matter of taste, no one wants their applications to consume more power than necessary.

Totally no idea. What is the logic behind all these? Is the word 3D model?
you cannot systematically engineer outcomes for people

I'm describing a particular scenario, and I'm not sure your studies have any data about it - the situation where a gifted child is developing in an indifferent environment (not being stimulated or motivated). No one claims we can turn anyone into a genius. But I'm pretty sure one needs very fortunate conditions to become one.

"Vote tallying" is basically taking a mode/weighted mode response rather than a mean/median/trimmed mean/weighted mean response. There are contexts where this is ideal (for example, classification in multiple unordered classes where mode is the only measure of central tendency that is even reasonable); cases where it's superfluous (in 2-class classification the mode is the median is the sign of the mean); and cases where it's bad (in regression with a continuous outcome where the modal prediction has probability exactly 0). So really it depends on the space where you want to use it.

Typically in a regression setting with an ensemble learner you're using a kind of weighted mean, where the weights are selected based on cross-validation performance. This is sometimes called a "super learner". See van der Laan, Polley, and Hubbard 2007.

Note that this suffers from being similarly awful in terms of theory as a lot of other ML stuff. It is not, for example, the case that two apparently similar datasets or problem domains will produce similar super-learner weights. Which is disturbing, because it's easy to believe that say SVM does better at X and penalized ordered logit at Y, but it's hard to believe that they both do better seemingly at random.
Exactly agreed. Having a schedule you are obligated to comply with may outweigh the benefits of optimizing your sleep schedule, at least for some people. I think the hype around sleep is justified, but we fall into the trap of optimizing around a single variable (and not adequately considering the multivariate system). Rhythm and schedule is important too.
Type safety is also one of the reasons why I prefer React over other frameworks such as Angular or Vue. With JSX, we have a unified type system across the logic of the application, its styling, and its presentation. The same level of type safety doesn’t seem to be available with other libraries.
Great work. Really helpful
milo is a provocateur and lauren can be brazen but neither are causing harm
Please extend it to the world: most managers are pretty worthless or worse, a damage. Managerial culture is a damage to the entire society.

When it spread we cease to innovate, to really research, we only popularize and improve (a bit) per-existing techs being unable to really evolve them and create anything new. And the more we advance the worse situation became.

We start to have car's that exhibit astonishing absurd issue like top-line Audi's that lock their driver inside due to an unknown fault (banal things like classic internal door little rod, mechanically connected to the lock mechanism are not there anymore in many models or became a different beast), normally always-working machines that start to exhibit random behaviors and no one can really understand why, not counting big projects that nearly ALWAYS fails from fighter jets to ships to space industry project.

Education itself in terms of formal diplomas became meaningless: personally I "discovered" ancient books (lecture notes) that contains more information, more clearly explained and open a world of possible "evolution paths" that far bigger and expensive modern textbook fail completely to provide only at a fraction.
Imagine for a moment that you have a working self-driving car in the field, and now you want to make a relatively minor change to the system.

How do you convince yourself or a regulator, not that the technology in general is safe, but that your specific change does not make it unsafe?

What happens if this specific change increases the fatality rate from 1 in 100 million miles to 1 in 50 million miles? Crashes will still be rare and there's enough statistical noise that when you finally understand the change is bad, you may have killed hundreds.
> defining "stupid" as "reluctance to keep ones mouth shut about what had actually happened"

It was obvious that everyone already knew what actually happened. What was stupid was Hedrick forcing the captain to take official notice of what actually happened. (And if he did that because he actually failed to realize that the captain already knew what actually happened and was trying to avoid having to impose the full punishment, he was even stupider.)

> the officer privately conceded fault in his own management of the situation

Of course. Nobody's perfect. We all make mistakes. But owning your mistakes and doing your best to fix things so the same mistake doesn't get made again sounds to me like a good example to be setting.

> and thought the punishment system draconian

No, he didn't. He explicitly said that, once the system is forced to take official notice of something like that, the punishment has to be what it was; there's no alternative.

But what you seem to be missing here is that, as the system is described, it expects people to use individual judgment in how to apply the rules. That's what the captain was trying to do, and what Hedrick failed to realize. The system works precisely because it's not draconian: because people are expected not to slavishly apply the letter of the law in every case. But if someone is stupid enough not to realize all that and take the second chance that's being offered to them, then, as I just noted, the punishment has to be imposed.

> such service being a good idea as a minimum franchise requirement

So teaching people that you should take responsibility for your actions and fix things that are broken and anticipate problems so you can better deal with them doesn't sound to you like a good idea?

Another reminder that dependencies are bad. Introducing someone else's code into your production environment without auditing it is a security breach.

This "undocumented code change" could easily have grabbed any login details/session cookies/personal data from the page and sent them somewhere, instead of drawing snowflakes. I doubt anyone would have noticed for a while... clearly there were a large number of people who weren't auditing the latest version of the code to see what changed, and only noticed the change because of the visual effects.

Sorry, but if you deploy a random chunk of third-party code into your production environment without knowing exactly what it does, you deserve to be sacked.

BART is finally deploying their new cleaner and modern trains, but the old cars are indeed well past their expiry date, farther past than any trains I've seen in Western Europe.

That may be because until recently, in much of the Bay Area, people of even moderate means often avoided transit at all costs. So the investment and maintenance went to roads, not transit.

I suspect that within the next two years, as this type of thing (voice recognition, voice synthesis, image recognition) becomes ubiquitous, it will cease to be called AI and the bar will be raised further. Very soon, applications such as Duplex [1] will become the minimum bar for AI.

Jurisdiction isn’t simply determined by where the opponent is. There’s nuance to this but you can typically sue and gain jurisdiction in any venue that has a nexus to the business activity in question. Given that YouTube is global there’s probably a lot of places you could find a valid venue. California almost certainly being one of them.

You might have trouble getting the opponent to cooperate but if your ultimate goal is to get YouTube to do something then that could work just fine.

Again, clearly legal action isn’t easy but people seem too inclined to throw up their hands instantly.

Learning how to take basic legal action is just a core part of running a business, and someone earning from YouTube at this level is indeed doing just that.
What they perhaps didn't see is that the US has a higher rate of personal car ownership. People don't like to walk over garbage, but they don't mind driving over it to an extent. The areas with trash are the ones where people of means drive and the walkers are mostly poor, like freeway underpasses.
Madrid is a fine city but I also was 'lucky' to visit it while there was a huge demonstration occupying the city centre. Didn't look so well during that time. I think right before that the garbage men had a strike leaving all the trash on the streets.

I guess in a way it doesn't take much to make a city look clean (or dirty) but it takes a lot of work for it to be constantly good looking.

> Same as with humans: from statistics. I don't see any other way.

I.e. from body count.

One problem here is that we know humans have common, stable brain architecture, so the limits and failure modes we experienced are stable too, and can be accounted for and worked around. People won't fail you in completely surprising ways.

DNNs are each a different breed; between changing architectures and tuning hyperparameters, I don't see how trust in one instance can be translated to trust un another.
While Alvy Ray Smith's role as Pixar co-founder shouldn't be diminished, the tone of "Pixar History Revisited - A Corrective" should be regarded cautiously. Smith hated Jobs and their last encounter was a shouting match after Smith deliberately provoked Jobs.

From the Wikipedia article you linked:

> Alvy Ray quit Pixar after a heated argument with Jobs over use of a whiteboard. It was an unwritten rule that none other than Jobs was allowed to use it, a rule Smith decided to break in front of everyone after Jobs went "total street bully" on him and they ended up screaming into each other's face "in full bull rage".

I believe you and the parent commenter are arguing about orthogonal things; you are arguing that you should be allowed a device that types, while they are arguing against a device that is connected to the Internet within the classroom. You could achieve a middle ground where wi-fi is not enabled in the classroom, so you have to do any online syncing of documents outside the classroom, but even cloud-based word processors like Google Docs allow you to work offline.

As far as potentially missing things, I think a thing that has changed is video recording of lectures. I went to a perennially broke mid-tier public university in the US, and all lectures (unless small humanities affairs) were recorded so that you could watch it later, and all the slides were put online. So it was possible to go back and add things to your notes that you may have missed before, and in fact it would be a severe disadvantage to not rewatch lectures since everybody else was doing it. It becomes a lot easier to take handwritten notes once you can rewind and fast forward through lectures at your pleasure.
Seems this[1] is the page with "myths" that Alvy Ray is reacting to. Not a single mention of his name, and Jobs is mentioned as "having purchased the computer graphics division from George Lucas and established the group as an independent company" in 1986.

Not much. Even a tiny arm cortex M4, which could live in a hearing aid for a week on battery life, are often 64MHz with single cycle MACs.

Z80 I believe was something like 4 cycles per instruction and only a megahertz, so we would be talking at least 16x slower than a M4. You would need something between a 486 and Pentium to get close to the M4, and then evenn further to get to the M7. If I remember correctly you couldn't even decode MP3s in realtime until the faster 90+MHz 486.
It’s not a little thing. The first iPhone was introduced as a “widescreen iPod with touch controls” and then as a phone, in S.J.’s original keynote.

So unless I missed something, that something being the music industry deciding that headphone jacks need to be replaced with lightening / usb-c ports, then Apple (and the industry follows) is unilaterally deciding to demote the music component of the iPhone.

That’s not a little thing and I don’t feel that explaining why it is not a little thing is necessary.
Playing devil's advocate - why 'troublingly' lower?

A career in art isn't guaranteed, unless we reach a post-consumer utopia, where robots do all the work.

Hence, there's a saturation point in how much art is needed to saturate the demand, in an interconnected, digital, global world.

And those that are unable to fit into this saturated point have to find other ways of livelihood.
For your last question, not really. To see why, you have to look at the distinction between the composition and the arrangement.

Jazz charts are usually just the composition. The arrangement is left up to the performers, which gives you a lot of flexibility in transposition (and instrumentation, and tempo, and feel, etc etc).

Classical music is usually the composition and the arrangement. So if you transpose, you're more likely to run into problems where certain notes are no longer physically possible to play for certain instruments.

Even with single-instrument classical pieces, for instance piano, compositions are very much written to be "pianistic" and fit into the piano hand in certain ways. There are definitely sections in advanced piano pieces that would far more difficult (if not impossible) to play if they were in a different key.

Even with jazz piano, while a jazz pianist might be comfortable playing a standard in every key, they've got figures and riffs that they're only going to play in certain keys, because of how they're physically shaped. For a dumb example, you can't transpose a glissando from C to Db. (Dumb since a gliss is rarely appropriate.)
And in denmark they get more but its not reliable which means you have to support it with other more reliable sources such as coal. Which happens all the time.

Plus you use it for almost zero percent of your transportation.

The chromatic staff approach does away with key signatures and accidentals entirely, which makes transposition trivial:

This sacrifices vertical density, but density can be recovered by using finer vertical resolution and using notehead color to clarify position so it's still readable.

There is an algorithm for finding a maximum clique in a graph, and some people on Reddit seem to have used it: the Born-Kerbosch algorithm [1]. Your graph has a connection between two nodes if their ranges overlap. It relies on the assumption that overlapping of manhattan regions is transitive; no-one on Reddit seemed to know whether that assumption is true, and I don't know either. :)

" I hope into my 30s I don't accidentally lose perspective on what's important". True that. I had my son when I was 30 and he turned out to be autistic.

I took low paying jobs to trade in for less responsibilities and more time to spend with my time. Here I am 10 years later dreaming to start my SAAS, having ensured that my child will have a better shot at being able to function in the society.
Fun (autonomy + mastery + purpose)! Don't forget that most OSS is still developed for fun, and adding things like this are totally fine in that context. Now, if you want to use thousands (millions?) of hours of development from hundreds of developers for free, you might have to put up with them having a bit of fun. The alternatives are to pay them to make very serious software [tm], use proprietary software or review the code yourself (not viable most times).

And I'm not being ironic or anything, really, literally the thing pushing a LOT of OSS is doing it for fun. If people keep complaining and blaming those OSS devs and it stops being fun then they will stop doing OSS, as many have done. Or it will be delegated to big companies like FB, Google, etc. where they get paid for the OSS they make, which is a whooole different can of worms.
