> It seems pretty simple to audit your 10,000 largest ad-spend domains and check to see if they're actually just ad fraud.

It's not just a matter of fraud. The website could be CNN, but if they're filling their pages with a thousand different ads, none of the individual ads is going to be worth paying for, even if the page also contains legitimate content.

And the thing that's impossible to measure is content volume. If you have one morsel on the page that drives traffic to it, you can easily add arbitrarily more to the bottom that is arguably "content" in order to make the ratio of ads to "content" be whatever you like. At that point you're trying to measure content quality, which is inherently subjective.

> The comparison you're making in the last paragraph is a common mistake in examining competition scenarios. The comparison isn't between pricing between the market leader and the incumbents following the anti-competitive behavior. It's the comparison between the prices we would have had no anti-competitive behavior existed in the first place.

That's not what I'm saying.

Suppose we do a test. If a page has one ad on it, 0.5% of page visitors buy the product. If it has two ads on it, 0.2% of page visitors buy each advertiser's product, because the extra clutter causes people to pay less attention to both of them.

So then your ad network prices that way. If the site puts your ad on their page with no others, you pay them 5 credits. If they put your ad on their page with someone else's, you pay 2 credits. If they want to use three ad networks then you pay 1 credit and it goes down from there. Just paying proportional to the value of the ad to the advertiser.

Now nobody is going to put two ad networks on the page, because they'd get 2 credits from each ad network (total of 4) instead of getting 5 credits from one. Even if it was 4 vs. 2, you might as well save yourself the transaction costs of using the second network.

The reason exclusivity is worth more isn't that there is less competition so you can charge more, it's that if you clutter up the page with more ads, their value falls off faster than their volume makes up for it.

Moreover, suppose that isn't the case. Showing more ads would produce more value, at least until some threshold number of ads is shown. Then the first ad network would just offer to display more ads on your page and pay you appropriately more for them.

You still end up with only one ad network -- whichever one will pay you the most per unit. The only way two ad networks end up on the same page is by reaching the point that the highest paying ad network knows showing more ads won't produce more advertiser value, and then scamming them by showing more anyway.
As far as I'm aware, Tesla has never claimed their cars will be able to handle all those situations. "Self driving car" is a vague term that has different definitions depending on who you ask. You are considering "self driving" as level 5 autonomy and Tesla probably considers it somewhere between 3-4 autonomy. I don't think it makes sense to get angry because their definition of the phrase is not the same as your definition of the phrase.
Tesla drivers have the luxury of turning autopilot off in suboptimal conditions. Human drivers don't.

Like you say, this number is really valuable only for Tesla marketing.

> Raising threshold will not just reduce probability of false positive result, but also will raise probability of false negative.

Not really. You raise the probability of an inconclusive result when you could otherwise have gotten a positive. If you interpret p > threshold as “null hypothesis is true”, then you are doing the statistics wrong.

In most cases, I think a better model would be to extract an effect size such that an effect larger than the size is ruled out by the study to some degree of confidence. Currently, I read about studies that conclude that “such-and-such had no significant effect detected by this study.” Concretely, this looks like “vaccines had no significant effect on autism risk.” This may be accurate, but it’s lousy. How about “vaccines caused no more than an 0.01% increase in autism, and a bigger study could have set an even tighter limit.”

Physicists regularly do this. For example, we know that the universe has no overall curvature to a very good approximation.
It all depends on your priors what they say. :)

But seriously, you can have the most pathological prior distribution, so you can then stick with it forever. (Let's say your prior predestines you to always find that whatever the new piece of data you get is so unlikely that it's more likely that it's an error/conspiracy than a real piece of data that you have to do belief update on.)

So, instead of coming up with a significance level, you have to estimate the chance of observing a null result, which determines how much new data moves your posterior distribution. The "advantage" of the Bayesian approach is that - in theory - you can incorporate every tiny little bit of data into your model (distribution). The disadvantage is, that it's very susceptible to various biases (through a biased prior).
Function calls are a special case of messages.

They are synchronous. Messages can be synchronous or asynchronous.

Reification and distribution are natural for messages. For function calls...not so much. Procedure calls, a little closer -> RPCs, OK, but still not really natural, as we have discovered over time.

One big one is that you can actively wait for/receive messages. I am not sure how to map that onto a function or procedure call at all (not: "implement").

Dynamic/late binding again is natural with messages, whereas I am not sure a function call with late binding is still reasonably a function call. Some would say that the fact that the receiver decides how to interpret a message is "declarative", and they have a point, though I am not sure I agree 100%.

Conversely: message sends are the generalisation of function calls.
Right, but you can just as easily train a model with TensorFlow on Databricks - maybe I’m missing something, though.

> The question is whether you want that sort of power in day-to-day programming

It's good to use the least powerful mechanism, no doubt. But it seems you are trying to sneak the usual "macros are too powerful for everyday use" so better be left out of a language altogether? I think when the storm comes - you'd better be equipped. Having varied ways to tackle problems (and macros are sort of linguistic abstraction orthogonal to lambda calculus/Turing machine derived toolboxes) allows for less complex solutions.

I think the main problem with space colonization is the whole nutrient cycle - using and/or recycling every part of food that is grown and consumed, including human excrements and other organic waste (skin, hair, blood, etc.). I don't think that terrestrial farming practice focus on that, no matter how technologically advanced or futursistic.

I agree.

I'm proud of being an American and a human for many reasons. (rational or irrational) I feel pride in Yosemite, the constitution, and our air safety establishments. It's truly amazing that (still) in the US we've gone so long without a truly catastrophic commercial passenger aviation accident (something like a billion flights!).

This whole saga really leaves me with a bad taste in my mouth and leaves me with a lot less pride in the US air safety institutions. I hope the truth of what happens comes out and the establishment fixes what was wrong.

-How did the design limits of MCAS get changed without updating the safety requirements for MCAS?

-Why didn't Boeing/FAA take the issue seriously between Lion and Ethiopian?

-After Ethiopian, why did Boeing, the FAA, US Airlines and US Pilots unions not ground/request to ground the MAXs, while foreign counterparts (including the Canadian pilots union) did?

There's a chance the FAA was acting on its best data and actually didn't think there was any significant danger.

I'm someone who didn't have a traditionally dysfunctional home life and wasn't driven enough to be labelled a "prodigy", but I was good enough at chess, piano and math as a child to meet plenty of prodigies at those subjects in various settings.

What you've said rings true across all of those fields, and I've always suspected it generalizes much further. I've sat across children at chess tournaments and piano competitions that seemed driven to a pathological degree without having all that much interest in the subject itself. At the time I found it disconcerting without having any idea as to the causes, so I just assumed I wasn't good enough at the subject. In retrospect, and with the benefit of hindsight (knowing I don't care to pursue a career in any of those subjects), I'm glad I didn't take it as seriously as others did.

It really depends on the compound/molecule. I imagine that if we need to "fortify" meat somehow, i.e. unless we're able to grow everything from a single stem cell + natural substrates (i.e. plant amino acids, fats, vitamins), we're very likely to get something wrong with such a complex product as meat.
Well, HP's new version of the Reverb jumped to a 2160x2160 per-eye resolution.

If Pimax can get their shit together, the 4K resolution and ridiculous FOV is promising.

I think the ultimate problem is that the higher-end market isn't willing to spend what it would require to build a sufficiently-good headset right now, nor are there many home gaming computers that can realistically pump 8+K low latency, high FPS graphics. There are many millions of people who might spend $500 on a standalone headset that is good enough to play beat saber, though.

It's being blocked by private companies, because they think it's the right thing to do in context, and I suspect largely for business reasons, they don't want to be convicted for passing around the snuff video.

Censorship is part of our law, it's right and proper for the NZ censor to declare the snuff video as obscene, that's his job according to law. We're a democracy, if we decide we don't need a censor we'll legislate him away.

In the meantime I'm curious why you are so in favour of this video, are you a supporter of the terrorist and his goals?
The metaphor comparing Ruby to poetry and OCaml to prose feels backwards to me. It is typed languages that have you choose some kind of rhythm, commit to it, and follow it. Once you've committed to it, breaking the rhythm productively is difficult. It is done at your own peril, it can send the whole edifice climbing down, and it often leaves the reader dissatisfied. Untyped languages are comparatively free-form (free verse?).

I would like to see a typed-FP Phoenix for a typed-FP equivalent to Elixir: a language that builds on an existing platform with a great focus on the UX and the tooling. Perhaps Reason could become that language, or something derived from Haskell. (Although Haskell's Elixir would be in a difficult situation. It would need to compile faster than Haskell to have a really good UX.) Then again, maybe that language would build on top of a less obvious choice for FP aficionados, like Go.

Right now the Rails-like web framework with a focus on type safety I find the most promising exists in a multiparadigm language and isn't devoted to FP. It is Lucky for Crystal.
>It's way more expensive than this, and it's an adversarial system

Sure, but I've overstated the hourly costs by an order of magnitude. You can get body shops to do this work very inexpensively.

Making a call as to whether or not they're over the line isn't difficult; you flag the clear bullshit calls and leave the borderline ones after making the contractual terms more conservative than your in practice review would accept.

>Then, the spammier sites run many different domains with multiple accounts, which means they're not that likely to show up as top domains

Sure, but we both know your distribution of revenue isn't difficult to parse, nor is auditing methodology difficult.

We have active fraudsters at the top of the iOS and Play stores. The issue isn't that you don't know how best to cast the net to grab everyone. It's that you don't cast it at all to grab anyone.

>but that a process like you described would catch 99% of fraud is massively optimistic.

Not really. Most fraudsters are terrible. Sure a few will slip through the cracks, but that's the case in every industry. That's not an excuse to do nothing. It's especially not an excuse when the dichotomy being pushed here is that the difficulty underlies a need for illegal anti-competitive behavior.

Street Fighter IV and V have my favorite implementation so far. The characters, to me, look like realistic physical objects with a good sense of weight to them.

But instead of resembling humans and therefore falling into the uncanny valley, they look like realistic lifesize action figures like the ones I played with as a kid. Like my childhood play scenes come to life.

(I'm not sure if the creators intentionally wanted the characters to look like action figures per se, but clearly they made the choice to go for a stylized rather than photorealistic look and I love what they achieved)

We don't walk around expecting gravity to suddenly change, or for elephants to suddenly appear around us.

We are not talking about real probability - we are talking about an unfalsifiable thing having no evidence, which is functionally the same thing as proving it false, we can't prove it false, but we act like it is, because doing otherwise would mean acting like anything insane and unfalsifiable you can think of is true.

The reason this distinction isn't clear is because no one needs to make it in the real world.

Atheists don't believe in god. This doesn't mean that - if provided proof, they wouldn't change that belief. That's how normal people use "belief" in the real world, the only way that the weird definition twisting of "Atheist" makes sense here is trying to claim "belief" has to mean unwavering absolute truth.

You can either be talking in absolute logic, and allow for "not false" to mean more than "true" because this isn't a boolean, or you can be talking in natural language where the central debate doesn't hold because no one uses belief like that. You can't pick and choose common use and holding to strict definitions.
The more the car drives for you, the harder it is to pay attention and the slower the context switch when suddenly the situation demands it.

Well that's more of a question on what defines "talent" - and if such a thing exists. Genetic predisposition certainly is a thing in sports, and genetics and ethnicity are obviously closely related.

The context we we're talking about was specifically taken in terms of intelligence. Or "potential". If you want to make the argument that intelligence potential is affected by your ethnicity, you are free to do so, though I doubt such ideas will be well received :)

This idea of talent being equally distributed may not be factually accurate. But it's something I'd prefer to believe regardless and be wrong about.
Good point. Maybe that's just as easy. We see companies with on-prem Spark clusters telling us that we're the easiest way to do DL there. Enterprise clients are doing a lot on prem, and their future is probably hybrid for a long time to come.

How is refusing to do business with anyone who doesn't give you de facto exclusivity any different than requiring de jure exclusivity?
What part of this behavior do you think is covered by:

* Improved DOG MODE

* Improved SENTRY MODE

Which were the release notes for the update?
Most definitely primitive. Which is why we need math, musical notation, sign language, programming languages etc etc. They all get created to overcome limitations of spoken language. And they all have their own advantages and disadvantages. And they are all constantly evolving.

Here's a psychologist Wendall Johnson's view explaining why people misunderstand things easily - “Our language is an imperfect instrument created by ancient and ignorant men. It is an animistic language that invites us to talk about stability and constants, about similarities and normal and kinds, about magical transformations, quick cures, simple problems, and final solutions. Yet the world we try to symbolize with this language is a world of process, change, differences, dimensions, functions, relationships, growths, interactions, developing, learning, coping, complexity. And the mismatch of our ever-changing world and our relatively static language forms is part of our problem.”

I’m not saying they shouldn’t do it anyway. It’s just that they won’t do it on their own unless governments force them to.
