I've seen constraint solvers used in a couple of contexts.

The first was at a food delivery company where we used one to calculate optimal delivery routes - we'd give it a list of delivery vans available, and a list of deliveries with the distances between those deliveries, along with constraints such as the size of the delivery to be made and capacity of the vans, and the desired delivery times. With that information it would then determine which van deliveries should be in, and what order they should be made in.

The second was a large conference, where it was used to work out the talk schedule given a list of talks, a list of available venues, and any requirements for each talk such as a venue of a certain size, or the need for a projector. It took a while to work things out, but eventually it would either find slots for everyone, or determine that it was impossible to schedule everything within the given constraints. (For the curious it can be found here: https://github.com/emfcamp/slotmachine)

I agree in so far, that the "ability to listen with a purpose" is invaluable. I have a couple of (senior) co-workers, which are technically skilled, but simply won't listen or empathize very well. They react to given trigger words in a knee-jerk way, then reeling off some kind of (technically) story. Often enough the information they give you is buried deep in noise, is not there, or worse, turns out to be wrong. Poor communication between people strikes me as one the biggest bottleneck in our company.
For me it is frustrating to work with, and I really need to pay attention to not joining their mannerisms.

A land value tax would sort this out. Build a new train station (crossrail was a massive subsidy to land owners[0]), land price increases, more is raised in tax, which pays for the infrastructure.

On the other hand, build a new bypass, land prices drop, and nearby land owners get compensation for their inconvenience.

Most of the time no one actually "wants to spread hate speech". It's a category used to gain power by evoking government backed oppression of ideological enemies.

...and in some rare cases there is also actual hate speech in the sense of a countries respective laws. (Those laws are pretty diverse and far from universal.)

In functioning legal systems this latter, tiny set of cases is determined by judges. In other systems it's chosen through other means like corporations, priests, some mob or something.

With platforms as the rising way of public discourse courts are unprepared and just hand it off to somebody else. ...that doesn't mean it's the responsible thing to do.

People will probably still think that's great until the integrated corporations decide to switch sides and start to promote non-mainstream positions.

Honest questions: what has that stability done for your career earnings? And what does that do when your boss decides you aren't needed anymore?

I ask because I tend to find that we are generally incentivized both to stay on the leading edge and to, if not running a consultancy, to be regularly moving on to new positions. And it is rare, to the point of IMO barely worth considering as a possibility, to find a company that won't get rid of you given half a chance if it makes short-term numbers better.

In many US jurisdictions they can do the first (and so can essentially everyone else.) They also do the last, often without legal consequences, though not as the outcome of a judicial process (but in civilized countries, government can't do that as the outcome of a judicial process, either.)

But the limits are very wide. There's a guy that allegedly fasted for 382 days, eating only vitamins (and under medical oversight, regular blood tests etc), losing 276 pounds in the process (this translates into -0.72 pounds per day, assuming it was all fat that's 2500 calories, which seems like a normal (average) BMR).

I'm not saying those platforms don't provide value and that they shouldn't charge anything, I'm just saying that 30% is egregiously high. I don't know what Apple's App-Store operation costs are, but my gut feel is 5-10% would be more realistic rate to charge.
I don't think this is an example of keyword stuffing. I hire a lot on complimentary skills. I bet there's a lot of Ruby Devs out there who'd like to learn and work on an Elixir project.

I've even interviewed at some shops that were Rails-based, but since I had a lot of good OO programming experience, designed and built large-scale systems, had skills with other parts of their stack, I had a better overall skill set than some of their existing Ruby devs. And they accounted for this with part of their onboarding process to get me up to speed in their Ruby codebase....

I think we first have to scope what definition of intelligence we want to compare:

1)having good understanding or a high mental capacity; quick to comprehend, as persons or animals:
an intelligent student.

2)displaying or characterized by quickness of understanding, sound thought, or good judgment:
an intelligent reply.

3)having the faculty of reasoning and understanding; possessing intelligence:
intelligent beings in outer space.

4)Computers. pertaining to the ability to do data processing locally; smart:
An intelligent terminal can edit input before transmission to a host computer.

Depending on the definition computers already beat humans, not only 4 years old.
> Going from owning 1% of a 1M company to owning 0.5% of a 2M company isn't unfair. The extra value comes directly from the new shareholders investing their money.

If this we're true, investors wouldn't be adding things like dilution protection to their contracts and special stocks that have further liquidation protections (and potentially voting rights) wouldn't be the norm for non-employees.

Investments are not one-to-one exchanges and employees take up most of the personal risk in the exchange due to lack of any protections as well as lack of a (personal financial) safety net if things go wrong.

Though I agree with you in that whether this is fair or not has nothing to do with what modern companies will do.

The reason that employees do not get these protections and rights is because they lack the leverage to demand them from the people who make those decisions within the company.

You all are overthinking it. To me it's just a sign of a larger company where there's an HR recruiting/hiring department that fronts the hiring manager.
"Ever" is not a useful word here. It's like saying "Will four year olds ever be grown in pods?"

A better headline might be "Can AI learn as flexibly as a four year old with today's known techniques?", to which the answer is of course "No".
I'm okay if it takes 100 or 200 years. That's like going from the year 1800 to the year 2000. It's not a long time at all. I think it's completely doable and a reasonable upper bound. Everyone just needs to relax a bit and let progress run its course.
The same logic applies to the question you're replying to. Were it me that was asked the question, I'd simply say "no, I was just curious."

At the time I left, which was 4 years ago roughly, the facial recognition was used at the checkout area only. The perational area going from the beginning of the gondolas (aisles) that are where you might say the back of a line would be, all the way to the exit doors.

This covered a large area but the only area using this at the time. The face ID system worked with the thermal mapping, which was used throughout the store, to create a projected customer volume for the front end management to prepare for. For instance the system tells the team that they have 1 register open but need 3 open now and 5 in 1 hour.

The data from the facial recognition cameras was sold, this I know for certain, however, I do not know to what amount that data was put into the specific customer profile being built. My honest impression is it was being sold in a package with card profiles to make a better product for brokers.

I've gone through meetings of how much this company wants to track you, how granular the specific customer profile was before the face & heat map system and the companies drive to find a place in the newer data markets that its competition was dealing in, in order to stay in business.

This is an illuminating (and notably rigorous) read for anyone interested in neural network sparsity and compression. But - equally importantly - it's a valuable read for anyone interested in the replicability of neural network research in general. The authors make clear the urgent need to evaluate research (and reevaluate received wisdom) on networks of the scale and complexity used in practice. I hope this paper will spark some important conversations in the community about our standards for assessing new ideas (mine included). As this paper makes exceedingly clear, plenty of techniques and behaviors for MNIST and CIFAR10 manifest differently (if at all) in industrial-scale settings.

My biggest question coming out of this work was as follows: which small scale (or - at the very least - inexpensive) benchmarks share enough properties in common with these large scale networks that we should expect results to scale with reasonable fidelity? Resnet50 is still far too slow and expensive to use as a day-to-day research network in academia, let alone transformer. Personally, I've found resnet18 on CIFAR10 to pretty reliably predict behavior on resnet50 on imagenet, but that's anecdotal. For the academics who can't drop hundreds of thousands of dollars (or more) on each paper but still want to contribute to research progress, we should carefully assess (or design) benchmarks with this property in mind.

(With respect to the lottery ticket hypothesis, we have a complimentary ICML submission about its behavior on large-scale networks coming shortly!)
That’s basically it. Absolutely amazing story to be honest. This guy pieces together their tracks with very little info in a ridiculously huge chunk of uninhabited land near Death Valley. Truly a needle in a haystack story.
This annoyed me too, until recently. I found the solution to this on my phone. It's a moto G with a physical volume button on the side. It has Lineage OS on it and I found this: settings -> buttons -> Volume buttons -> Keyboard cursor control (Volume up/down moves cursor left/right). I can now easily control moving the cursor one char left/right and am slightly more comfortable typing on my phone.

Every fence might be different! Clicking on the picture gives a description of that particular one's history. When I see fences/gates on forest service roads or access roads I presume one reason for them is to limit access. Roads require maintenance, having fewer vehicles driving over one means less maintenance. During winter season a fence could also be there to limit access for the purpose of reducing the need for search & rescue or towing services...
> Strange hiring practices - [...] asking about personal life ([...] Political views?). If you like the idea of [...] sitting [...] next to some frat bros or guys wearing MAGA hats maybe this is for you.

Can you elaborate on that a bit?

I'm not in SV/US, but my impression is that most tech companies are intolerant of different political views and biased against conservatives, so likely you should be targeting companies companies that ask for your political views, if you don't like sitting next to MAGA hat wearing guys.

Anecdotally, I experienced an effect that was indistinguishable from an MDMA roll toward the end of a 3-day Landmark Forum session I attended a little over a decade ago. I had been a somewhat regular MDMA and psilocybin user during my early 20s.

What took me by surprise was I felt the company/teaching itself was largely bs, but something about how the whole room of 100 or so people seemed to come together in a giant ball of positivity put me in that state, and it was an immediate shift. It was so overwhelming on the drive home that I had to pull over a few times to get my bearings. I woke up the next morning still fully rolling, and it wasn't until lunchtime that it really abated.
It's a good question.

There are a lot of ways that "psilocybin therapy" is more similar to behavioural/experiential (rehab, Camino del Santiago pilgrimage, etc.) than pharma therapy.

I'm not sure that those things are an appropriate control. But yes, there's been very little serious research. It was near impossible to do until just recently.

Some more solid old research on iboga and some new, somewhat more mature research happening with mdma.

OpenKiwi: An Open Source Framework for Quality Estimation
I am not opposed to this being upvoted. It is a fairly interesting paper, and I am glad to see people express a variety of interests.

I am curious though: there are many, many, many philosophy papers out there. Many are written on this topic (Carnap and Quine). Indeed there are papers by Carnap and Quine.

Why then, of all the papers out there, did this particular one make it up to HN's front page?

p.s. In general we are not supposed to ask why things were upvoted, downvoted, or claim that things do not belong. I guess this isn't that. I am not asking why this is here, or why it was upvoted. I am asking why all the other papers aren't upvoted, and why they aren't here.
The T480 supports two drives by putting one in the 2242 NVMe slot (where the WLAN card goes if you have one; I just use my phone as a VPN+hotspot). You do need to find an NVMe m.2 2242 drive, but they're fairly easily found today. My personal T480 (I mentioned my work-provided one earlier) is outfitted as such: 1TB NVMe SSD in the 2.5" bay (Lenovo OEM adapter; if you buy the laptop with an HDD instead it comes with a SATA port there), 512GB m.2 2242 SATA SSD. You could put in a 2.5" HDD instead, though given how cheap SSDs are now I think it's probably unnecessary for most use cases.

As for keyboards--that's why I brought my machine to clients when I was a consultant, and specify the same laptop at my new job. ;)
Goals and spec are theory, what matters in the end is what people are actually doing on the field.

These allegations were actually spread by a competing VPN service, so they should be taken with a grain of salt, and the allegations have also been refuted: https://www.reddit.com/r/ProtonVPN/comments/8ww4h2/protonvpn...

For most VPN companies, you basically have to blindly trust them that they aren't doing anything nefarious. ProtonVPN is different because it's been thoroughly checked and vetted by Mozilla (https://blog.mozilla.org/futurereleases/2018/10/22/testing-n...) and also because there is full transparency regarding who runs the service. You can find the names of the former CERN scientists who created the service, along with their past scientific publications, and things that prove who they are.

This is discussed and addressed in each of the three instances of the study that have been conducted, so I recommend reading those for the response.
Rights are somewhat arbitrary and given by law for things that lawmakers think should be rights such as the right to bear arms, or whatever. There are practical problems in giving rights to a lake in that you need human representatives of it to go to court but beyond that it doesn't seem that silly. While you say animals don't have rights, in the UK you can go to prison for cruelty to animals which seems quite similar to a right not to be treated cruelly.
Agree. Unfortunately, this is never going to happen. The few still practicing Ayurveda properly come from a background where they learned it from their ancestors within their family and practicing it for free and never allow commercialization of their knowledge. But they can gladly share the knowledge to people who want to learn. Food, Education and Medicine/health are the 3 things the practitioners in Indian culture believes to keep free. A few decades ago, you want to gain education, you seek a guru and become a disciple and he teaches for free. You got a health issue, you go to a doctor and he treats you for free. Same with food, every town/village used to have centers where food is served free to anyone. Although it's all gone decades ago, there are still practitioners who treat patients for free and only take donations and not fee. Sounds, funny but It's easy to understand the underlying wisdom, how many studies today are funded by people with commercial interests? Research on egg is funded by Meat industry, Research on milk is funded by Diary industry etc. How is that turning out for everyone?
> Never try to refactor everything

That's certainly true when you have a working product that just needs incremental work.

When you inherit something that doesn't work, then you really do need to refactor "everything." Most likely, problems arise from incorrect low level assumptions or design decisions.

What do I mean by quoting "everything?" This is the kind of refactoring that feels like you're refactoring everything, but in reality, you're still keeping higher-level assumptions and design decisions.

In this case, if you don't refactor away the mistakes that lead to something that doesn't work, then you'll never have something that works.

(BTW, I know this from personal experience, I had to refactor a shipping product shortly after starting the job because the shipping product did not work. Now I'm the lead architect on the product.)
I agree with buzzwords, but what's wrong with t-shirts, perks and needing specific skills?
