I think part of the appeal of Tindr/Plenty of Fish/etc. for a lot of people is how you can do the initial interacting online. I'm not saying that it isn't better for the actual people/relationship to have the first encounter be in person, I just feel like a lot of people like online dating for that exact purpose, whether its simply due to convenience (can talk to/filter through matches from home) or being too socially awkward to be comfortable with meeting someone in person that you haven't gotten to know a little bit ahead of time. Moreover, the people who are most at ease with asserting themselves with strangers probably don't need the app, as the only utility it really provides is targets.

However, if like another poster said, only women can see the "targets" and the onus is on them to make the first move, then I can see this app having utility as it can be a way for men to make themselves available to an in person interaction without feeling like they'll come off as predatory by making the first move (and likewise allowing women to encounter men in person without having to worry that every man in the room will think she's inviting interaction). But it isn't readily apparent that the app works that way.
This study does not seem very robust. How do we know that folks that enroll into PhD programs are not just more likely to have mental health issues? There is a positive correlation between IQ and mental health issues at least at the higher end of the scale and this could be a manifestation of that.

Good read.

> realized that data was such an important piece of the development of Machine Learning algorithms early on, whereas most of her colleagues did not believe the same.

I think that it was hard to deny, even before ImageNet, that more data gives better models. But maybe people didn't believe that the return on investment in data would be that high?

We are currently reaping the low hanging fruit of CNNs and annotated data collection. But this approach has diminishing returns: you need to collect an order of magnitude more annotations to get slightly improved accuracy, and the models become exponentially larger.

More annotations enabled an annotations hungry method (Deep Learning) to dominate. But we know that brains do not train on an exponential amount of annotations, but on a very limited amount of data.

”that dicts would subclass sets, as dicts are essentially sets with values attached.”

I think a variant of https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Composition_over_inheritance applies here. Inheritance, in general, only is a good idea if there is a strong isa relation. A dictionary isn’t a set of keys, it has a set of keys.

If you want to see a dictionary as a set, I think the better view would be to see it as a set of (key,value) pairs where equality of pairs is defined as equality of the key parts, ignoring the ‘value’ parts.

I think it makes sense to require that such a set should behave identical to a dictionary, and that providing a ‘real’ dictionary is just an optimization, plus the addition of convenience functions, e.g. to get the set of keys.

If one sees things that way, one could even define the dictionary interface as taking an equality operation on the keys and a ‘value combiner’ function that combines values, and will be used in the cases you outline (that function could add integers, concatenate strings, keep the larger value, or whatever the programmer specifies)

How is that telemetry relevant? The bug needs to be fixed no matter how many people use it.

Totally agreed. Amazon’s variety of of offerings are also very confusing. You have Fresh, Pantry, and normal prime.

I cannot use Fresh... I stopped using Amazon because with Pantry you’d get short-dated product and returns are a hassle. I think they have third party supply chain bullshit as well.

Walmart is a better option, their economics are better for “middle of the store” grocery goods and I don’t have the supply chain concern that comes with Amazon.

That is criminally poor. The most likely point of failure in most bank accounts nowadays is not the bank, it's the online banking portal. 8 characters is stupidly poor for potentially complete access to your bank account.

It does work (source: personal experience). But that depends on the kind of people you have been trying to accumulate that capital with. The real problem is that you don't have much if any control over who those people are in many cases where it matters most - school, work, family.

And then on top of that, depending on how far one is on the spectrum, it can be hard to judge people. It's not that you can't do it at all - it's that you are never really confident that you've got it right. And having an emergency plan that you're not confident in, but you know you will need to rely on at some point, can be very stressful in and of itself.
Why do you need to know linear algebra or calculus in programming?

A poignant answer is: you never really know! The future will surprise you!

Watching the movie about AlphaGo and all other stuff DeepMind has done will give you all the answers you need about the why NN.

The question in the first line has an obvious answer and it is just rhetorical. The bigger point is: this mindset doesn't apply just to Neural Networks, many things in mathematics are useful years after they are first invented, and it is better to learn general principles and have an open mind, Richard Feynman style.
Fantastic product that still surprises me with its ease of use.

This doesn't surprise me. PhD students remain in a vulnerable position. They are not only intelligent and sensible, but also often exploited by the hierarchy and underpaid. The cynic in me sees the whole procedure of academic ordination as a kind of humiliating ponzi scheme, based on effort justification and the sunk cost fallacy.

> kit built tube amp

What's the distortion on that thing?

The vast majority of tube kit schematics are very old tech, stuff that engineers from the 1930s would recognize. Their THD (coefficient of total harmonic distortion) is very high. What is known as "tube sound" is basically just huge THD, along with a specific distribution of energy across the harmonic orders.

It's fun as a hobby, and for the satisfaction of building stuff on your own, but even the simplest schematics built on modern principles vastly outperform these things by essentially all metrics.

Some tube amps are built specifically for low THD, but unfortunately they are rare. When in doubt, use solid state.

> homemade single driver speakers

I used to build everything myself back in the day. Speakers and amps was just part of it. Also did automation, radio frequency (I'm a licensed HAM radio operator), digital circuits from logic gates to DAC/ADC to systems with microprocessors to small computers. It's a small miracle I didn't actually go into electrical engineering.

You really need multiple drivers and likely a subwoofer also, to cover the whole audible spectrum.
While I welcome another way to fight the constant tracking that we've come to know and love, this is, in my case, a break of workflow [1].

I do responsive web design, and spend a considerable amount of time resizing my browser window as a "cheap" way of previewing how it would look on narrower screens. Having the resize snap to multiples of 100 or 200px would make this experience horrible. Disabling it on localhost (where you're supposedly in control of what goes in and out the browser) could be a solution.

Farmers that want to do "farmer things" can wake up earlier and they need to be in tune with their animals, following a circadian rhythm, so the clock on the wall rarely tells them when to wake up. The sun doesn't all of a sudden rise earlier or later.

The timezone is important when collaborating with others. Does a farmer need to do business? Not sure how that fits in the farmer things they do, but when they do business they'll surely appreciate not having to search on Google for their freaking timezone when talking with a peer from another country.
"As cars get more connected, the industry is trying to stay ahead of multiplying threats"

This is actually not a hard problem. The convenience part of a car, infotainment systems can be connected to the Internet. The safety parts of the car: the wheel, the breaks, etc should not and there should be no connectivity between the two.
And we certainly ony allow OTA updates of the infotainment system. The rest should be done at a dealership. Inconvenient, but I certainly don't want my breaks susceptible to hacking.
You're right except for one thing: nobody here was talking about altering frequency response. Windows loudness equalization is not equalization, despite the silly name.

> While capitalism as a whole isn't an AI

How do you know this isn't true? That is, how are you certain that these various organizations, either alone or together, don't actually exhibit the emergent behavior of intelligence?

The prime test would be to attempt to probe for that intelligence, though exactly how would be a great question to solve.

If you survive the process, then it is likely that the answer is "no intelligence is found". It might also be that the intelligence exists, but either didn't notice you, or you don't know what to test for, or it is ignoring you.

If you don't survive the process - that is, you meet an untimely (and possibly strange) death - that might be indicative of such intelligence, and it is protecting itself.

Ask yourself this: If one of your neurons suddenly became sentient, and started to try to "poke around" and figure out if this network it is a part of is actually in fact an intelligent being - what would you do if you found this out? Would you leave it alone, as a curiosity? Or would you take action to somehow stop it?

The question is similar to figuring out the "simulation hypothesis" - just at a smaller scale...

> The general idea is that "letterboxing" will mask the window's real dimensions by keeping the window width and height at multiples of 200px and 100px during the resize operation --generating the same window dimensions for all users-- and then adding a "gray space" at the top, bottom, left, or right of the current page.

> The advertising code, which listens to window resize events, then reads the generic dimensions, sends the data to its server, and only after does Firefox remove the "gray spaces" using a smooth animation a few milliseconds later.

Would using a setTimeout() on the window resize event bypass this? Send the data 20-50ms after resize is completed giving enough time for the letterboxing stuff to go away revealing the actual dimensions, or something? They say it only blocks the dimensions during the resize event and FF removes the letterboxing "a few ms later"

Good, I hope it dies. I don't use Facebook for the obvious reason (privacy) and my family almost refuses to contact me in any other medium. If I didn't take the initiative to contact them via email or phone, they'd forget I existed.
Everyone cares about privacy. They just aren't keenly aware that they're losing it. If you meet someone who doesn't care about privacy, ask them, can I borrow your phone and browse through your contacts, your conversations, and your pictures? Almost nobody will say yes unless they are very close to and intimate with you.
