> I'm concerned about interference with learning and development needed to interact with actual people and the physical world.

Correlation is not causation.

You're taking it given that tech is a cause of that, but it may well be that other trends are driving kids to be indoors and separated from their peers (see various "mother gets arrested for letting child walk half a mile to a park" news stories), with tech merely filling the gap of lost activities.
Thank you for point that out. I should have checked the spelling before posting.
No, it does not. As far as I can tell, it's simply comparing search results for the two countries -- apps which have never been distributed in China will still appear in red. Try searching for "Uber Eats", for example.
Even worse: Social media posts of traveling/vacation.
Timestamps in UUID values shouldn't be (and generally aren't) used for coordination between nodes (where such precision an accuracy would be important): they're used for rough sorting and partitioning of values.

Indeed, node-generated timestamps should never be used for coordination regardless of whether they're encoded in UUIDs or not.
I would say that it's far more likely that the system simply never worked properly. The amount of non-functional so-called "AI" features you find in China is astounding. A friend's apartment building got the latest facial-recognition door lock - which will open the door if you hold up his Facebook photo on your phone. Just the other day, my wife found out by accident that her friend's Huawei phone will unlock for her using its version of Face ID. They have similar facial structure but really look nothing alike. China is amazingly good at many things, but _genuine_ technological innovation is not something I've seen in my time here.

No doubt this corruption-busting "AI" was developed by companies and people with deep connections to the relevant Party members, but little of the necessary experience or resources to actually carry out the project successfully. When it became clear that it didn't work and would never work, this story was a way to allow the responsible people to save face.
Airbnb also maintains Enzyme which has certainly been a big part of the testing story.
In my company a lot of systems like HR have gone from internal servers to cloud so E-mails come from a lot of different URLs as sender. I consider myself pretty savvy but if a mail looks halfways plausible I don't really know how to tell if it's legitimate or not. The only way to fix this would be to sign E-mails so we can verify authenticity.

I think it shouldn't be too hard to write an Outlook plugin to do this.
My thought is tire taxes.
I would hesitate to call that "censorship" at all. Some apps simply aren't relevant in a country because they're associated with a physical service which doesn't exist there. For example, a number of food delivery apps (like Uber Eats and Grubhub) don't operate in China, and as such have chosen to not make their app available there.
Did you fix that behaviour? I'm in the same boat currently.
ParallelFor Benchmarks in Task Parallel Library (TPL)
Things like Redux or Bitcoin are more or less event sourced systems. It's basically the idea of deriving your application state from a series of business events and storing those as a single source of truth. It's very appealing in theory but as the article explains, it's a bit more complicated in practice (e.g. dealing with consistency).
I could do the same thing with a heuristic. Just enumerate every government official with a high net worth and investigate them.
/rant Society has become more of a cluster mess and the more I’ve aged makes me clearly aware of it. Most if not all entities seeking capital, create a type of negative outcome for some unfortunate souls. I don’t think people either have the power, and or even the care to do real action anymore. For example the individuals today who act on suicidal ideation because of a valid reason to them (outside their control) can righteously be blamed on certain entities. But people rather just label the unfortunate person mentally ill for the cognitive dissonance bliss and falling for sloth. It’s like if the economy crashed today. The generation hurt the most would be ostracized and taken advantaged by the other generations who have more resources to ride out the storm with better health.

I remember reading a newspaper for hours after school. Now I barely read news for more than 30 mins a day. I am more connected but my satisfaction of the quality of news I am consuming has gone really down.

I wonder what similar changes Philippines is seeing. People are obviously replacing some offline activity with something similar they do online. For example spending time with friends our neighbors in real life has now been replaced with FB or Whatsapp. Probably because it is more convenient? Is it better though?
man this thread makes me want to replay the game again.

It's in the original game and it was the MJ12 Daedalus AI, although I'm not quite sure where the player picks that piece of backstory up. It might be in the dialogue with the prototype in the Everett house.

The normal way to do this is to charge for the ingredient at source. It seems easier to change the California laws (constitution?) so that agriculture pays per gallon of water.
> Just that disciplined experiments are necessary to avoid all these subjective pits.

Disciplined experiments would require decades to learn how new media influence development of a child. Disciplined experiments require people subjects and a big moral no-no in the most cases. It is easier (maybe it is the only way for our society) to just watch what happens and to setup a small scale experiments to distinguish causes from effects.

While we are designing experiments children grow and become adults. When we finish with experiments the world would be the different place and the only our scientific result would be an ability to explain what happened in the past. (It would be a limited ability, because no one would be able to replicate our experiments and to confirm our findings.)

So I agree that speculations about future character of a child of current generation is a pure speculation, but it is the only way to apply brains to a current educational tasks. Alternatively we can say that a pure speculation is not good enough and do nothing, let things flow by the stream. I, personally, believe that the former way is better than the latter, even if it is unscientific.
I've watched phishing exercise emails work (where by "work" I mean "marked increase in reports of real phishing attempts"), so I'm not sure that's the best example of theatrical corpsec practices.
A single digit percentage of suburb and city traffic in the United States are for activities that genuinely benefit from cars. Use a commercial vehicle to move your stuff, but for day to day travel many people use trains, bikes, or legs to move their families from location to location. We should be investing our transportation budget into more efficient methods than residential vehicle usage for daily commuting.
Are there any web sites that summarize studies by topic like this? It does seem like anyone can cite a study to prove anything but there is no layman equivalent of the meta study. Even better if the studies were weighted by things like sample size and reproducability.
Probably everyone is doing it. What's new in yours ?
Our security team makes their phishing emails look way too professional.
If I am not sure whether an email is legitimate or not, then I just ignore it assuming that if it is something real and important, then the other party will find a way to contact me (send another email, call me, approach me in person etc.).

The pedestrians that are endangered by relatively high speed motorized vehicles riding on sidewalks care. It's totally reasonable for you to not want to ride a scooter on the street, but that doesn't entitle you to break the law and make sidewalks less safe for others.

No, not all people would agree. It's coherent to think that a) government punishment should be the same for each recipient, b) we measure punishment (and thus it's "sameness") in terms of pain, and c) financial penalties need to be indexed against wealth/income to inflict the same amount of pain.

Sweden (I believe it is) in fact does this.

Regardless, yes as the OP says if you think it's fair to charge a flat fine, then surely it's fair to charge a flat fee. The point is relative and thus holds whether you define fine equitability in terms of amount paid or difficulty in making the payment.

> A 1x1 convolution is such an edge case of convolution that it's really not worth discussing its inclusion

It is, nevertheless, still a convolution and calls to convolution code is how self-attention is implemented. Look inside a SAGAN or something and you'll see the conv2d calls.

> Calling the Transformer "convolutions with attention" demonstrates a new-complete misunderstanding of the architecture.

You're reading that in an overly narrow way and imputing to me something I didn't mean. And again, the original Transformer may not be used in conjunction with convolutions, but it often is, and the best current variant uses convolutions internally and so involves convolutions no matter how you want to slice it. Attention is a powerful construct, but convolutions are pretty darn powerful too, it turns out, even outside images.
At least for bikes, it's fairly well accepted that riding on the sidewalk is less safe than riding on the road: http://bicyclesafe.com/#crosswalk

The chance of getting hit from behind likely decreases on the sidewalk, but the chance of getting hit from turning vehicles increases greatly. The chance of being hit by turning vehicles is higher in general as far as I remember, too.
It's the cars that kill and maim pedestrians and drive scooter riders to the sidewalks. They're your real enemy.
Ask HN: Where can I find employees who are ready to work for equity?
I am the founder of a startup, and I don't have enough budget to pay a market salary to my new employees but I can offer them equity. I have an option program. Where I can find employees who are ready to work for an option? Maybe there are some resources to publish job offers like this one?
You say in most cases but then link to a single case. You can find a single case of anything on the internet. Doesn't make it meaningful.
The opinions of businesses wrt parking are the same stateside, but legally it is the property owner's responsibility to build and maintain clean sidewalks, while street parking is part of the public-ally owned right of way (meaning it can be re-striped or removed at whim).

Its common in Seattle for the city to do basic maintenance on a sidewalk, and bill the property owner for the amount, as they failed to maintain their sidewalk (whether Ivy has overgrown the sidewalk, roots have uplifted it, or its become a public health hazard due to lack of cleaning).

It is really nice to walk on freshly steam cleaned or pressure washed sidewalks :P

You could, but it's not equivalent, and no one seems to have been able to use clockwork RNNs or related archs to achieve similar performance, so the differences would seem to make a difference.

More seriously, sleep is physiologically essential - but so are other things. So make sure you optimize the hell out of the other things, starting with diet & exercise. (I'm guessing that "optimal" exercise under sleep deprivation is less than with adequate sleep but more than zero.)

Try to take naps. If you have enough downtime take a chance to nap rather than e.g. surf the web or futz with your phone.

Spend time on weekends preparing so you can sleep more during the week. E.g prepare food and have it as close to ready to eat as possible. Minimize the errands or cleaning you have to do on weekdays by doing it on weekends and spend the time saved on weekdays (if any) sleeping.

Also try to figure out how to get out of this unhealthy situation.

$10k/month with just a few hours per week is BS. $120k / year would be a lot more than many peoples salary.

Never heard of event sourcing before, but I've used this pattern myself (as another comment mentioned, when you need it, it's a fairly obvious way to do it). Looking it up, I am guessing it's from Martin Fowler's book about patterns and architecture design? And on a related note, would you recommend the book to the average developer?
> Do transactional emails get sent out again? Do upstream services record the playback as duplicate events? How are transactions handled?

The narrow problem here is that Event Sourcing is temporal, but not bitemporal. Or rather, the different kinds of temporality are frequently muddled.

Event streaming in the Akidau/Google style is bitemporal, but mostly accidentally, as a side effect of distinguishing "event time" (fact time) and "processing time" (transaction time / belief time).

(Snodgrass later proposed tritemporal models, including a timeline for when a fact-belief was viewed, which I find both brilliant and slightly terrifying).

The problems of evolving data models, which is the third-order problem, is often hardest when you put a log or stream at the centre of your design. Databases using SQL, for example, struggle with first-order (current state) and second-order (historical state) evolution. But they do much better on third-order evolution, since DDL is built into every relational database.
First we need to agree on what "Event Sourcing" means. In my view you don't need to implement every single Event Sourcing pattern to have an "Event Sourced" system. Say you have a TODO List app (yes, pretty cliche but that's ok). In that TODO list you have a <form> in which you post the state of the TODO list to the server. That state is stored in the database in the form of an event "TODO_LIST_SAVED". When you want to "replay" back, just list all the events from the DB in chronological order while filtering the ones the user has access and pick the last, then rebuild the HTML using that one event converted into the view model.

Kaboom, you have an event sourced system that doesn't even use a queue.

The problem with trashing the idea is that people have a bad experience with it, either by over-engineering and trying to apply all the solutions with tools or hand-made implementations instead of using a Lean approach, or storing events in a type of business model that doesn't even require a database.

"Event Sourcing is Hard" is a statement as true as "web development" is hard, or "distributed systems" is hard, or "API" is hard, "eventual consistency" is hard... yet, we build those things every day doing the best we can. In fact, anything, any practice, any technique, any architecture can be hard because software is hard. Even harder is to not over-engineer something that can be very simple.

Simplicity is hard.
Wouldn't an autoresponder for your email domain users and people in your addressbook be enough? The rest of the people don't need to know you're out of the office (by and large). Of course, if you're in sales that's diff but also has little sec implication. (Any internal threat would know you're out by other means anyhow)

Not really. Systematic meta-analyses take an enormous amount of effort and aren't particularly exciting, so they're difficult to fund. Lay people are not the primary audience, so there's little incentive to translate the findings into plain English. The Cochrane Collaboration produce meta-analyses and plain-language summaries for important clinical topics, but there's no equivalent for social science.

If you read the post you've linked to, you'll see that it then evaporates right back out of the ocean, and even though most of it falls back into the ocean again, 10% of that evaporation falls onto the land as well. 10% is not as little as you might think, since 96.5% of the water is in the ocean. TL;DR: it's also not a one-way situation.
Not if your a 25 year old coder.
Worth mentioning that their summary measure of well-being is more comprehensive than what's typically asked of adults and probably does correlate with learning and development:

"Data from 19,957 telephone interviews with parents of 2‐ to 5‐year‐olds assessed their children's digital screen use and psychological well‐being in terms of caregiver attachment, resilience, curiosity, and positive affect in the past month."

Still plenty to quibble with in the study though.
Ha! I work with some talented engineers at a big tech company. This topic sort of came up at a happy hour event.

Their culture is different. In the west, we think you’re really something if you invent or innovate something on your own. Their view is it doesn’t matter if you take something from someone because you still have to work to do something with the concept or technology.

I get their perspective. On one hand, yeah it sucks if you work hard or invest massive capital to innovate in some area. On the other hand, if your economy is at an advantage, others in the emerging world are left behind and they’ll always be playing catch up, paying royalties, or locked out completely.
If I live to be a thousand years old, I'll never understand how that was considered "novel." But that's just me.
Pretty common position here in australia.
I don't buy that. I know from my own experience that tech is addictive. Just like I know from experience that sugary foods are addictive (in the sense that absent of discipline, people would choose to consume more of them than is good for them).

And just like parents need to exercise some level of control over their childrens' diets, they should exercise control over their technology use.

At least in a UK context, "mother arrested for letting child walk to park" stories aren't realistic, but kids here still spend an awful lot of time using technology.
Yeah, it's not foundations like elementary or axiomatic.

An actual theory of ANN and then of NNN will be of more momentous import than of any previous phenomena, will usher in a fundamentally transformative age where we understand ourselves, and will surely require a fundamental breakthrough in pure mathematics... probably a great many.

Another impressive stat on Internet usage in PH is the sex ratio, Female Internet users are equal (or more) to the male users[1]. In India female users account for 30% overall & 64:36 (Male:Female) in rural India[2].

This is an important metric to note if one is running a non-geographically bound dating platform; the female users from PH grew exponentially when compared to other countries in our platform.

> A single digit percentage of suburb and city traffic in the United States are for activities that genuinely benefit from cars.

Citation needed. Your use of "genuinely" indicates to me that there's a large subjective component to that statistic. I'd believe that it's physically possible to replace 99% of "suburb and city traffic" with "trains, bikes, or legs." However, I'm not at all convinced that 99% does not "genuinely benefit" from cars. My guess is that such replacement probably requires a strong ideological commitment to car-disuse [1] in order to persevere in the face of real drawbacks.

[1] I know several people with such ideological commitments.
I can say I am one of the people that made this "achievement" possible. I spend most of my day starting at a monitor.

Kidding aside, I would not put much trust on an online statistic. Specially since they did not even have the decency to tell us where and how they got that info
