I dont think there is anything contentious here. If the data that a model is trained on is nothing like what the model will be applied on the results will suck. Well, duh! isn't that obvious ?

If one is trained on screwing light bulbs that training would not be very helpful in composing music. If there is some common structure between the train and the test scenarios there would be some point in learning that from the default train set. Then you use your domain specific training set to unlearn the things that do not apply and learn the other things that do. As long as there is something worth learning from the default train set it will be of some use.

Greece’s tax evasion issue adds up to ~7% GDP. Fixing that and doing nothing else would have mostly solved the problem, but that’s not what happened. Really collect back taxes for the last 5 years and they could have laid down a massive amount of debt.

I’m not pro-Tesla, I think they’re horribly mismanaged, but let’s be real.

The Model 3 is selling well, and ONLY in the US. Even if they hit peak demand they can just start selling to Europe and China (planned for later this year) and they’ll have plenty of new customers.
Um, sure, I guess if you want to remove every element that make this interesting or unique then go ahead. I'd rather experience it how the storyteller wants me to.

My issue here is that expiring JWTs involve adding state! The whole point of JWTs is stateless authentication, so I’ve never understood the advantage over sessions unless revoking tokens is never an option.
This sounds incredibly useful and is something I am going to strongly look into and consider as a future (separate) project. Thanks for sharing these thoughts!
This is like punching someone in the face, and then accusing them of having a nose-bleeding problem.

Nuclear is expensive because the rampant fear-mongering generates massive amounts of litigation, construction delays, and outdated/unreasonable regulations.

If you look at the cost of reactors in China, Russia, Saudi Arabia, etc, they are one-tenth the US cost for the exact same reactor design.
For me it's the opposite. If a video doesn't get to the point within a few seconds I skip it. However, I read specs.

We're also open to enthusiastic developers or researchers who might lack this precise experience but are eager and able to learn. We welcome internship/fellowship interest from postdoctoral scholars or senior graduate students.

We're additionally interested in chatting with people with a scientific or engineering background who are interested in scientific and technical writing.

We do not presently have openings for anyone still working on their undergraduate degree or for fresh graduates.

Send your resume to info@onai.com and we'll let you know if there's a potential fit.
Damn, I was about to post that right now :)

I was gifted a Fitbit over the holidays and have been using it, essentially, to make myself get up and do household chores once an hour, 9-6, and to monitor my sleep schedule. It's led me to do more cardio and dramatically shift my sleep, and I noticed that I've started to wake up while deep breathing. So I guess there is some kind of general activity level thing going on that governs how you breathe, too.

In what way is it a price increase, why did Tesla count tax credits when advertising price in the first place? Isn't that dishonest, since the cars price tag was higher and the government gave them money?
The market for EVs is expanding. As Tesla starts shipping worldwide they will find the sweet spot for the US.

Big takeaway here is they are very profitable producing at current rates. As they bring out new models they will continue to grow at 30-50% per year.
To me, it's interesting to see first hand, having now done tons of primary literature research over the past few months. What I've pieced together is that driven primarily by Ancel Keys and a few other strong personalities (eg McGovern and his aides), the "lipid hypothesis" was implemented as public policy based on scant epidemiological/associational (and no clinical) evidence to try to stem the heart disease crisis. This of course, happened during a time when tobacco companies was actively suppressing the health impacts of smoking.

Since then, and because the lipid hypothesis was deemed as institutional truth, we've been chasing a white rabbit that didn't exist. First it was saturated fats, then cholesterol, then LDL, now LP(a) and Ox-LDL... In the meantime, since saturated fat was public enemy number one, even worse replacements (trans-fats, industrial seed oils, even potentially worse and unstudied new FA isomers now) were introduced as replacements and sugar consumption increased dramatically from fat-phobia (as the defacto remaining macro as red meat and protein were also tarred with the same brush), leading to where we are now (a global metabolic disease pandemic).

What's interesting is in the past two decades especially, the amount of very interesting nutritional and metabolic research (biomechanistic research in animal models, RCTs and other human trials) has been staggering, and I think there's overwhelming evidence (and now some momentum even) in scientific/medical circles strongly pointing out that nutritional policies and "common wisdom" as being flat out wrong, but in the general public (which includes most medical practitioners, sadly) there's a huge lag. Which is too bad, considering obesity rates are likely above 40% in US adults now (39.8% in 2015-2016 [1]).

Thank you, I did not know about this, it looks like an interesting path worth considering.
While the idea that the 1977-1992 reserved market policy for computers had an impact on the videogame market in Brazil is a popular one, that was not the case. The policy was not about imports as all imports (cars, chocolate, etc) were restricted at the time due to the external debt crises. The policy prohibited joint ventures with foreign companies or local manufacturing and sales by foreign companies (like what happened in cars and other industries).

Polyvox/Gradiente had an official joint venture with Atari while Philips made and sold its consoles locally. None of this would have been possible if the reserved market had included videogames. Note that it was common for the policy to extend its reach to areas where it shouldn't apply, but that didn't happen in this case.
Phoenix's Light Rail is also a nice improvement - I hope it expands. I know they're trying, some neighborhoods are resisting though - they argue it brings in riff-raff lol
Right there with you. One trick I've been using as of lately is pre-paying my rent by paying for 2 months each month. That way the money isn't available for me to spend uselessly. I'm still spending it, but on a bill that I'd hav to pay anyways. I'm up to 3 months of pre-paid rent and feels good to know that if something happened to my job, at least I won't lose my apartment.

I think the point they were making is that if you were going to build something like this you would use a digitizer. That would probably be a cheaper build at this point.

Education: NYU Film & Television graduate who got bored and fell back on a childhood of Vic-20s and C-64s.

I spent a lot of time in advertising during the rise of Flash ads, doing everything from making the "Punch-Out the Evil Kangaroo for a Free Digital Camera" ads (90+ billion impressions of that thing and its siblings during my brief tenure at that job) to being the Technical Director for a Johnson & Johnson rebranding. I went on to work on ed tech projects for Houghton-Mifflin, full stack engineering/"lead design technologist" for Dow Jones, and real-time system engineering for local government. I jumped on the Node.JS bandwagon early.

I am usually the person called in to 'fix' outsourced projects that have gone haywire, or the one to make the judgement calls about where a project can scrape by with duct tape and angel kisses when there's no way to get something done without a heaping helping of technical debt. Nowadays I'd rather be on a team with some new-to-me tech and smarter coworkers to learn from.

> This actually a price increase because of a loss of the federal tax credit... the title is bogus and should be changed imho.

The ceiling in the title refers to a ceiling of what customers are willing to pay. Tesla apparently believes customers won't pay the full price without incentives, so they're cutting the price they charge you.

While it's an increase in the sense that the government stopped making it cheaper for you to buy a Tesla, it's still a decrease for Tesla as a company, and that's what has investors nervous. (Rightfully or not is another story.)
At that cost range I don’t know if I could ever know my customer well enough that I would be confident that a 3% price break would get more sales but what do I know.

Would I have purchased a Nissan Leaf eight years ago had it not been for the $7500 federal tax credit? Damned right, I would have. But since we're buying one anyway, I'm not turning down free money. My point is, I wonder if there ought to be a moratorium on tax credits for the first two years. The early adopters are going to buy one regardless, save the tax credits for those that are on the fence two years down the road. Of course the gaping hole in this plan is something, something Osborne Computers (in two years, it might not be better, but it'll be cheaper).
> who remodel it in some professional tool ...

One of the huge disadvantages of SketchUp, is that it doesn't create geometry which is easily (and accurately) shared with other CAD/CAM systems. :(

Any kind of export/import to standard CAD/CAM model formats (STEP, IGES, even JT) would do.

(Note - I last looked a few months ago, so it's possible something has changed since then. Wouldn't bet money on it though, as it seems to be "in purpose" but I'm not sure why.)

FreeCAD on the other hand does use the right kind of geometry, and imports/exports the right formats natively. Your construction engineer would likely have been able to import a FreeCAD created model directly, instead of having to remodel it from scratch. Assuming the model was created decently well of course. ;)

That could have saved a bunch of time.

I was reading the top and I was like, “oh, ASD!” The food peculiarites can be lifetime problems. My girlfriend almost cannot feed herself and will fast to collapse without routine. For people that don’t know, food is a massive sensory experience. ASD is largely a sensory disorder. This leads to hyper specific “safe” food choices which frequently cause anorexia or obesity without clear other options.
It was pretty obviously stated on their quoting tools, imho.
Back in the early days of smartphones (iPhone, iPhone 3, iPhone 3GS era), Marshall Field's flagship department store in Chicago experimented with this.

Each display window had a bunch of stickers on it, similar to QR codes. You could use the app on your phone to point your camera at one of the stickers and get more information about different products on display.

They also tried something similar with a different app and some kind of Bluetooth connection.

All of this was still early days, so it didn't work very well. It would probably be OK now that the technology has matured.

Government did not give Tesla the money.

Tesla also makes the actual amount you need to pay very clear before you buy a car. Their website is closer to the Cable companies landing pages that don’t include all the fees, before showing you the actual price at checkout.
Presumably, following Firefox, they're going to add advertising and do some unsolicited tie-ins that you can't remove.
They can see the domain you are sending/receiving information so based on that, they can probably deduce that you are using a speed test. As far as throttling, only they could know.
Small world! Hope you're doing well.
This meme is getting out of hand. Yes, JWTs may be inappropriate compared to putting a session id in a cookie, but there are many uses for JWTs outside of web app session handling. There are a couple serious implementation pitfalls to be aware of, but the bottom line is that JWT is a convenient and standardized way to construct a secure bearer token.

Despite the pitfalls, most folks that need a bearer token format (not just a web session) are probably better off using JWTs than rolling their owns solution.
Wait, what? I was not aware of this. I guess driving in the carpool lane today was not a great idea…
