Fixed that for you. There are better ways to integrate with the DOM than jQuery nowadays. It’s not a good fit unless you’re just trying to tack on a dropdown menu onto a decade old Wordpress theme, IMO.
> Flaws have been found in it. They are probably not as bad as Intel.

It's slightly ambiguous whether you mean 'the flaws in AMD IME-near-equivalent are not as bad as the flaws in the IME' or 'AMD's IME-near-equivalent is not as bad as the IME'.

On the 2nd interpretation, it seems that AMD's 'ME' is likely not as powerful/mature as Intel's ME. On the other hand, on certain machines the IME can be disabled or largely neutralised, while I know of no such possibility for AMD.
A little early for April fools.
It's just a diminutive form of "bag", ie. "small bags"?

Just like you have for instance "telefonino" as the diminutive of "telefono" in Italian, literally "small telephone". And in German you add -chen or -lein to words to create the diminutive, so "Hund" becomes "Hündchen" (adding an umlaut as well, if applicable).

Generally I think it's very common for a lot of languages to add a cutesy suffix to the base word, in order to create the diminutive.
I agree with this in general. In my personal experience, I haven't found this to be true. In the last 15 years, I may have had two managers I would say were bad and I stayed at one for 3+ years for an opportunity that fell in my lap. Other places with good managers I've left after 18-24 months.

I think I've figured out a way to carve a path around bad managers. The reason I typically leave is due to poor upper management. Lack of vision, alignment, or growth opportunities for the company.
THP + Redis = disaster. Never do it... Redis will warn you at startup if it detects such condition. Also the LATENCY DOCTOR command will yell at you.
Jurisprudence is a rather theoretical study of the law, which does not seem well-suited to machine learning.

If, instead, you are thinking of learning from case law, let's consider patents. There is a lot of case law to be used in training from the Eastern District of Texas...
To an extent, I suspect you're right.

I further suspect that economists, as a field, will continue to claim that their models, metrics, theories, and policy advice are good, while complaining about the inexplicable rise of populism, right up until somebody sets up a guillotine in front of Goldman-Sachs. (Populism is easy to explain: the peasants are revolting.)
Not OP but I use Bitwarden and it's awesome. You can host it yourself, and has all the browser plugins / apps you need.
Yes... now turn that map into a lock free thread-safe dict in Python and show us the same code. I get that for free in Java via ConcurrentHashMap.
"But perhaps the greatest rebuke of Piketty to be found among academic economics is not contained in any of these overt or veiled attacks on his scholarship and interpretation, but rather in the deafening silence that greets it, as well as inequality in general, in broad swathes of the field—even to this day. You can search through the websites of several leading economics departments or the official lists of working papers curated by federal agencies and not come across a single publication that has any obvious or even secondary bearing on the themes raised by Capital in the Twenty-First Century, even in order to oppose them. It is as though the central facts, controversies, and policy proposals that have consumed our public debate about the economy for three years are of little-to-no importance to the people who are paid and tenured to conduct a lifetime’s research into how the economy works."
https://therideshareguy.com/uber-lowering-rates/ is a detailed analysis of these (or very similar) changes. It's more complex than this headline or article makes it seem. The gist is that, at least in the markets covered by TheRideShareGuy's article, mileage rates are going down a little and time rates are going up significantly.
The problem is that the more established scientists can play politics and deny/reduce funding for the "crazy" idea.

There needs to be balance. I see people religiously hold to the orthodoxy of scientific knowledge rather than the scientific method. But there's also the case where established scientists are financially reliant on what the orthodoxy is as that's what their research is about.

The world is complicated and not intuitive and I'm aware there's a distinction between rejection and skepticism, but I feel that people err to rejection much too easily.

Some examples of the weirdness of the world: Quantum mechanics and the fact that it's possible to build a windpowered land vehicle that travels directly down wind faster than the wind.

Trying to find other examples, I've run across Boltzmann who committed suicide in 1906 likely due to all the pressure he faced trying to get people to accept the idea atoms exist.
> Also, note that the safest places in the world for cycling (Netherlands, Denmark) have very low helmet usage

They are are safest for cycling because the law went to such an extent to protect cyclists to the disadvantage of pedestrians and drivers. Most times there's basically 0 legal recourse when the cyclist is actually to blame. All the burden is put on the other traffic participants. As an eye witness (an victim) of multiple accidents involving cyclists and pedestrians I can tell you that many times the best you get after being hit by a bike that was doing something illegal is some swear words while they pedal away. I've been hit by a guy who was texting with both hands while riding his bike over a pedestrian crossing and he just pedaled away.

They have no incentive to behave better, the law is on their side and there are almost no repercussions (fines, suspended license, etc.). Even when the law has provisions for this the application will be extremely lenient. And if you live in a country where privacy laws prevent you from using any dash-cam recording in court you're royally screwed as a driver in almost every case. And pedestrians are royally screwed from all sides because they lose to both drivers and cyclists.

And why enforce different safety and education rules than for drivers? Why enforce a safety belt for people in a car but not a helmet for people on the bike? Even the lightest accident can turn into death if you're not wearing a helmet, even when nobody else is involved. If you don't care about your life how can you expect others to?
The one thing that frustrates me about merge is that it returns the value inserted, rather than the value being replaced (as Map::put does).

There are good uses cases for what it does - but there are also good use cases for returning the previous value, and when i have one of those, i can't use merge, and have to fall back to a get followed by a put.

Perhaps what i would really like is a Rust-style entry API, where i could use a key to obtain a Map.Entry, which i could then inspect and mutate how i liked. It might look like:

Entry<K, V> getOrCreateEntry(K key, Function<? super K, ? extends V> mappingFunction)

And then i could write:

void sell(Potato) throws FarmException { ...}

Map<Field, Potato> potatoesByField = new HashMap<>();
for (var potato: getAllPotatoes()) {
var fieldAndPotato = potatoesByField.getOrCreateEntry(potato.getField(), f -> potato);
var oldPotato = fieldAndPotato.getValue();
if (potato.getWeight() > oldPotato.getWeight()) {
potatoAndField.setValue(potato);
sell(oldPotato);
} else {
sell(potato);
}
}

To collect my prize potatoes into a map, and sell the rest. Still ugly, but hey, at least it's not Go.
Uber did not destroy his industry. Industry is flourishing. It's state's fault for not providing a good social safety net. Imagine if we all had to use horses, because the government did not want to "destroy" the industry.

This is a good question and I'm curious to see the HN community's responses.

I would first check to confirm that the rating is statistically significant and sound. Do both companies you are comparing collect ratings from active team members? Are the ratings for the healthcare company from disgruntled employees that left?

I would also pose that question to the healtcare company and the team that you spoke to during the interview process. I would ask the questions like these:

- Is the team aware of the issues?

- What steps are being taken?

- What can I as a new employee do to make things better?

Evolutionary algorithms are a type of machine learning, so yes. Machine learned vision, speech, NLP, etc. outperform heuristic methods and those are just the recent advances.

A random forest can easily outperform a hand-made decision tree—and this is the important part—if it is set up correctly and you use a sufficient quantity of high quality data. Linear models have also been used for decades because they work.

> If you’re pulling jQuery in from one of the popular CDNs (which you should be), your clients will almost certainly already have it cached locally anyway.

Have you ever measured this on a large scale? I’ve never found it to be true because there are many CDNs, versions, and browser caches are not infinite. If performance is a priority it’s almost always faster to serve it directly to avoid things like the DNS and TLS latency from those CDN connections.
I think this is a good point of view on the topic, and personally resonates with me. I ditched jQuery at the same time I read “JavaScript: The Good Parts” and after that I realized I was never conceptually building systems, only little puddles of functionality, when I used jQuery for FED.

I'm not going to say that ML is a panacea or always perfect but its also not one "thing". It's a complex field with a lot of required knowledge and ways to set things up.

IBM is largely to blame for that misunderstanding since they brand all of their offerings "Watson" and describe it as if it's one system; so if their system doesn't work, maybe none will. In reality, it's dozens of pre-implemented algorithms with varying degrees of quality. Importantly, how the data interacts with those algorithms requires domain expertise for the data and algorithms so it can be hit-or-mess if that expertise is not properly applied.
You did!
This guy cites fox news as calling him the smartest guy in the room. If fox news calls tom woods the smartest guy in the room you can be sure that Tom is as smart, truthful and unbiased as fox news.
Not sure if your point holds if you read more of the article, which implies that plenty of economists are critical of wage and wealth disparities just for different reasons. My personal read is that Piketty doesn't bother to come up with a "microfounded" rational for his theory and since this is the bread and butter of macro, his r > g theory hasn't been taken seriously. I will say that the basic empirical work of measuring the increase in inequality over the last fifty years seems to be taken very seriously. At least in my limited view of the discipline.
Thanks for your post, I’ve removed the numbers from mine as it appears they were likely quite inaccurate
OK, thanks.

So "setup-machine-id". Does that generate a value that's unrelated to any preexisting versions, analogs, etc?

I ask because, when I deleted /etc/machine-id and ran "systemd-machine-id-setup", it generated a new machine-id by copying the D-Bus machine ID.
If there was a soup kitchen that charged something, maybe on a sliding scale, but not nearly enough to cover costs, it would meat the dictionary definition of a "restaurant". Calling it that would nonetheless be misleading.

In my opinion, for DBaaS, number of cores, amount of RAM, and even I/O performance for the buck are secondary considerations. After all, for any non-hobby application, the data are significantly more valuable than the hosting costs.

I would be more interested in a comparison of security features, backup infrastructure, replication tooling, failover procedures, version upgrades, etc.
It's like how GitLab justifies paying people less in lower cost of living areas by saying that they don't want unhappy employees to feel like they should keep working there just for the money.

The gdp of the United States is 19.39 trillion dollars; the number of full time workers is 128.57 million. Divide the first number by the second and you get $150,812 per worker- plenty to give everyone 70k per year. This is back of the envelope math and obviously is not very precise but still, there’s plenty of money to go around, and a lot of room for the minimum wage to go up.

Pffft, apart from several just wrong assertions about who knew who, and who likes what, I always assumed Tom Bomadil was just some archetype of Tolkien himself. Both fundamental to the world he built and completely apart from it.
This bit really struck me:

“Matthew Rognlie—then a doctoral student, now an assistant professor at Northwestern—took up that line in even greater detail in an article that eventually appeared in the Brookings Papers on Economic Activity, to which he added that the rising capital-to-income ratio in Piketty’s data is disproportionately the result of the price appreciation of certain scarce stores of wealth, primarily housing and the land it sits on, not the quantity accumulation of productive capital that is the subject of the neoclassical theory of economic growth.”

I find that a compelling explanation because it fits with a bunch of the deep problems in the way urban development changed in the 20th century, which in turn have created the frustrating housing situation today.

It’s difficult to summarize this, but in short, modern zoning, the suburban development pattern, and auto dependency, create an economic vicious cycle which tends to polarize economic outcomes, where Places trend toward either the Bay Area or Detroit. (Some reading linked below)

This is most true in the US, but also to varying degrees in many other parts of the world.

In other words, if Rognlie’s quote is true, then it would mean Picketty’s observations are better explained by the bad housing and infrastructure policies of the last 80 years than by “r > g”, and if that’s true then it completely changes what we should do about it.

Some expansion on the development pattern problems:

But you could argue against climate change with much the same logic (and, indeed, a lot of people seem to do). "The conclusions would demand changes to our status quo in a degree of magnitude that hasn't ever been there before, therefore, they must be wrong".

Taking clickbait to a whole new level by using an irrelevant but clickable reference.

The content of the article is not much better. Industry leader on paved roads on Earth is very much irrelevant to the dusty Moon landscape.

Basically other than the fact that in the end the motors are powered by electricity there's nothing to link these 2.
I may be wrong but I doubt Salman Khan would agree with you.

On the other hand there is this line of thinking that sounds plausible, that we have the idea of instruction and homework backward in our school system. Kids should watch videos by great instructors as homework, and should do the exercises (what would normally be the homework) in the classroom. With the role of the teacher in this scenario to assist students where they have difficulty. This way the teachers aren’t spending 80% of their time doing the repetitive stuff that’s the same for every student but can instead focus more time on the problem areas students are having.
Early PDP-1's had the MUS (MUltiply Step) operation, which had to be applied repeatedly in order to perform multiplication. Singe-step multipy (MUL) was first available as an extension, later it became the default.
I inspired a great soliloquy! Thanks for the thoughts

My point: total least squares includes X in the error minimization, not just Y and linear combination of X. There is a good introductory discussion on wiki -- essentially in standard regression we typically assume no measurement error in the independent variables.[0]

As much value as machine learning brings, there is a need for explaining as much as there is for predicting![1]

Your point on whether there is "true control" seems to agree with Pearl's main point of contention -- does the causality plot (which is testable) make sense from a theoretical, experiential, or systemic sense?

Thanks for your comment. Actually, Client-Side-Encrypted-Backups is different in that a backup cannot be created unless tar, ccrypt and sftp on the user's machine execute smoothly. In your example, in the case of a user's local drive going bad during a backup, one of these (tar, ccrypt, sftp) would fail causing the backup to not be created. All files that show up in the completed_backups log file are golden backups and can be restored at anytime. For me, I have been exclusively using Client-Side-Encrypted-Backups to do all of my backups (since 2011). I don't ever recall seeing an issue in all of those years. It's been very reliable.

I think there’s also a factor of doing so much which has now been standardized in browsers: imagine a hypothetical jQuery 4 which mostly focused on DOM/CSS compatibility and used native ES6 where possible, always using the standard names and signatures for things which are only partially supported. I think that’d help people focus on the more ergonomic parts rather than whether you type each or forEach.
In German there are at least 3 words that describe these somewhat related concepts. The word "Frei" is mostly meant as in freedom but can also describe absence of something. The latter form is usually used in compound words like "kostenfrei" which means "free of charge" however, most of those words can also be compound with "los" like in "kostenlos" which means the same thing and is used more often in this case. We also use "gratis" but mostly if something is given complimentary in addition to something else. Something like "buy one get one free" for example. Then we also have "umsonst" which is actually not related but commonly used by people to mean the same thing as "kostenlos". However, it really means "for nothing" like in "ich habe vermutlich all das umsonst aufgeschrieben" or "i probably wrote all of this up for nothing". So the differentiation between getting something for free and something being free (as in freedom) is quite clear. However, there is no german word for freeware as far as i can tell and nobody i know says something like "Freie Software" instead of "free software" or "kostenlose software" instead of "freeware" but that might be caused by my circle and is more often used then i recognized :)
