It sounds like UpCodes is making the argument that access to the building codes shouldn't be restricted so that they can build a business selling access to it. Yes, they will have a free version, but their idea is that people will pay them instead of ICC.
> Hybrids ... pollute almost as much as any other car.

That’s just factually and obviously untrue. You can tell by looking at the MPG figure. Any vehicle that burns more gallons of gas per mile proportionally farts out more emissions per mile.

My 2013 Toyota Camry hybrid is 6 years old now, gets 38-41mpg, and I have never charged it. It is a rock solid vehicle and I have never had to perform maintenance on any of the hybrid parts. They just work. Toyota has a reputation for producing low maintenance vehicles using last year’s technology. If the battery eventually wears out later on and I don’t fix it, it’ll get less MPG and be more like every other carbon farting car on the road. Believe it or not, the car produces more electricity from regenerative braking than it uses up so the battery is usually mostly full all the time. The bottle-neck is in the electric motor’s low top-speed. It switches from electric to gas if you ever go over 40mph and back to electric if you go under 40mph.

There isn’t a big need to be so cynical with hybrids. They’re quite amazing and incredible to watch and use.

I've wanted the "allow 5 seconds" thing for a long time too.

You can manually pause and resume js by opening up the debugger and hitting pause. The code exists it just needs to be exposed to the UI.
That original emulation was actually in microcode; and it wasn't quite 100% compatible with all the options and extensions that were possible for the 1401 (example: multiply and divide hardware was optional on the 1401).

Seems to me that pure software emulators (like the one written in BAL, mentioned below) would not be subject to any particular kind of Y2K problem.

I think it was more of a problem of having very old 'working' legacy code that nobody wanted to touch anymore. If one had the expertise, one could in principle do Y2K fixes to (original) 1401 autocoder code.

There is excellent work by Ken Shirriff e.g. http://www.righto.com/2019/01/accounting-machines-ibm-1403-a... that has much 1401 detail.
I think there's a couple of reasons:

- I've never felt comfortable with the command line, and only use it when I have to. I like the Nanobox will do everything for me with just a line or two (once you've created the Boxfile).

- Also, I tend to play around with a lot of small-ish ideas, so I want the ability to quickly throw something up without having to think about how I'd provision all the services, and if it did get big, I can scale it with Nanobox without having to figure out how to do it manually.

According to some conspiracy theorists her job was to destroy Yahoo! She did that well. I don't know if it's true or not, but they sure sound convincing.
I'm skeptical of the 'common knowledge' research that suggests men are better at spatial reasoning than women due to brain differences [1], in fact we should be careful with any assumptions about differences in brain structure dictating behavioral differences. In the past people thought differences in weight of the brain indicated intelligence, and this is clearly nonsense; likewise modern observable sex differences [2] in the structure of the brain cannot be assumed to produce observable behavioral distinctions.

Although we like to segregate traits into masculine and feminine, overlap is incredibly strong on any given psychological task measured. Go ahead and peek at the effect size of any of the spatial reasoning differences studies and you'll see what I mean. Differences in effect size for height between men and women is about 1.4. Now if you look at the mental rotation task, the spatial task for which there is the largest effect size difference between men and women, you see an effect size of 0.56 [3]. There are a number of spatial reasoning tasks, not just the 3D transform task, and they all show smaller effect sizes, with many showing next to none. How about "tender mindedness", a typically female gendered trait? An effect size of -0.26 to -0.31 [4]. For almost all psychological characteristics your sex really is not an effective predictor. What about the structural differences? The 'sex differences in the structural connectome of the human brain' study showed an effect size of 0.48. Here's a fun tool to visualize effect sizes https://rpsychologist.com/d3/cohend/

Contingency also matters- if you say women are more X and men are more Y, which kind of men and in which situation are you referring? Women are better at cognitive empathy, men are better at mathematics, women are more anxious / neurotic and have lower self esteem are all questions that contain components of contingency. Women are only better at cognitive empathy than men when they've been reminded that they are [5], men aren't better at math across all American ethnicities [6], and women are more anxious / neurotic, except in certain countries where they're not (Japan, for example) or white American women are, while black women aren't [7].

There's a great quote from Cordelia Fine (who assembled a lot of this research) [8] on risk-taking, "So when we say instead, more accurately, not 'males are more risk taking', but some males, of some cultural backgrounds, from some populations are more risk taking, in some domains, in some contexts, but not others, than are some, but not all women. It no longer seemed so likely that we'll be able to compare the brains in women and men and from average differences between the groups identify the neural basis of greater male risk taking."

>And now legal cannabis pricing is even worse.

And we knew it would be. The heavy-handed regulations here have often met responses like, "well it will take time to sort this out, give it a few years." Unfortunately, the example of alcohol regulations suggests it will take decades - and still not get figured out.
lol. Yahoo was killing it before she showed up?
That's just not true. In 2016 they had several versions of the model. One was called the NowCast that very explicitly modeled the probability of winning the election today. They had a separate model that gave the probability of winning on election day, which included whatever their estimate was of uncertainty moving forward (including the probability of game-changing events, which is pretty low).
Interesting that some great animators also have aphantasia. I always assumed that my aphantasia and complete inability to draw anything at better than a 5 year old level were related, but it seems some have developed an iterative process that works around it. That's pretty encouraging.
I stopped paying attention when Silver said the Buckeyes only had a 2 percent chance to win the title, because I knew that was bogus, team was stacked. Then he did the same thing with the Cavs when they turned around and won, so it just seemed to fit what Taleb says about "predictors" in The Black Swan. Since then, I don't listen much to forecasters, their track record is dubious.
I backed out a parking spot and into some guy speeding through the lot. Me, a bit of rubber on the bumper that I wiped off with a magic eraser. Him, front quarter panel and both passenger doors had to be replaced. I was pissed off about the unfairness of it all. That him driving reckless and me being in the wrong place made me at fault for thousands of dollars in damage.

I'm not surprised to see a car accident with wildly different results on both vehicles.
That’s because the data is garbage. If I’m standing on the corner holding a bag with a 6 pack and you run me over, it’s an alcohol related accident.
She's talking about foundation CS courses. She talk 7 (!) AI courses in Undergrad but apparently missed out on core CS courses.

In Masters she got to cover those off. I think her majoring in Symbolic Systems not CS meant she missed out on compilers, DBs, etc..

But that's an entirely analytical way of thinking about it! You're looking at the decision process and asking if the marginal return on investing another unit of time in it, in terms of the improvement of the goodness of the selected outcome, is greater than the return on using that unit of time in some other way.

The very term "overthinking" implies that there's a right amount of thinking for any decision, so your real problem is working out how much thinking to do.
You quoted her saying both, no? "I went back for my master's and took the rest of the AI offerings as well as a lot of programming basics."
I'm a student, mainly using GCP for hobby/hackathon projects, and to teach myself.

I am massively excited about Cloud Run's free tier---for someone with a budget of zero, being able to get a project off the ground and functional without paying through the nose if you forget to turn down some service is incredibly useful. Getting an unexpected $40 App Engine bill at the end of the month isn't fun.

I'm definitely going to check Cloud Run out as a go-to for future projects--it looks like a really good fit for my use case.
I don't understand how someone can get a professorship but not be tenured. Why would an institution give a chair but not be prepared to give tenure? How would you get close to the point of being considered for a chair and not pass through the point of being tenured?
Why not check your phone while at a stop sign? Why not check your phone while on a straightaway with no cars in sight? Why not check your phone to make sure you're on the right route?

I get what you're saying but these are the thousands of little thoughts in the back of your mind that encourage you to use your phone in the car. "Just leave the phone in your pocket" has to defend itself against every one of these little pervasive thoughts. Why do you think the mobile tech companies are worth tens of billions? They got a drug better than any other.
> why would big companies be spending so much money fighting these regulations?

Because the costs are onerous to everyone and it's not worth spending ten billion dollars in compliance costs to destroy competitors who were only costing you a billion dollars in revenue to begin with and are very useful to have around to fend off antitrust inquiries.

And if it won't negatively impact small tech companies then why are so many small tech companies against it?

> Automated content filtering fails to meet the requirements of the EU article, so it will disproportionately impact large companies which rely on those systems, rather than smaller ones which use human moderation teams.

Hardly anything disproportionately impacts large entities. If a small entity can do something, the large entity can just do the same thing more times, and then optimize any parts of it that are susceptible to economies of scale.

And converting something you can do to something you have to do will always disproportionately impact small entities. What happens when your moderator goes on vacation? If you're YouTube you have a million more of them, if you're a single person business the moderator is you and now you can never take a vacation from it, even when you're about to burn out.

And you can't just have moderators anymore, now you need moderators who know how to make their moderation comply with the new law. Even assuming the cost of training a moderator is the same, now the larger company has the advantage again because they're using full-time moderators instead of spending the founder's time to learn how to do it themselves even though they only spend 10% of their day doing moderation. And then spend 10% of their day doing that when it used to be 3% because now there are more rules to comply with.

The way you make a requirement disproportionately impact large companies is by only applying it to large companies, say ones with a billion in revenue or more. But they haven't done that.
>I'm curious about your opposition to paywalls.

It creates walled gardens & excludes the poor.

e.g. Some poor kid in Kenya googles info that could have life changing impact...and hits a paywall that demands more than he earns in a year.

The internet became great exactly because it's the wild west where crazy things like community driven wikipedia thrive.

It's not that I oppose the whole pay for quality directly (family members are journalists)...but rather that the internet has become a bit of a core pillar of human knowledge & we really can't afford that to end in a maze of corporate walled gardens - it'll crush the thing that makes it great.

>what would your ideal means of both reading these stories,

The internet was fine before paywalls - in fact it grew & thrived. The whole you have to pay or there is no quality content seems quite false to me.
Ah, interesting link. I think I ran into some confusion since 'rational' and 'Bayesian' are somewhat overloaded terms.

When I think of Bayesian analysis, I always think of Bayesian models which attempt to model uncertainty and always have a posterior distribution (spread) of outcomes.

For example, in the Dutch Book page, instead of having a point-prior (P=0.51 (delta on P=0.51?)), each degree of belief could have some (different) distribution which could yield a posterior with a distribution and change the math here.

Missing the point is the cause of all this mess.
even though I am kinda sarcastic I extremely admire this kind of thinking (assuming that I got him right), many stock traders have this kind of free thinking mentality and disdain for all kinds of rules and authority, George Soros once said that the only reason people read about his philosophy is that he made a few billions, he knew from the very beginning that having enough money would make his ideas worth of being considered for smart people and absolutely right for retarded people. It's like money shifts the truth or something!

Nothing I said has anything to do with the usefulness of the language - I work with it every day and have for a decade, and I hope that I'm not completely crazy. I was just stating that anything that appears in core basically gets to 1.0ish and is never touched again. This seems demonstrably true to me, and not even necessarily a bad thing, but perhaps others disagree.
Not quickly, but immediately - the Compromise of 1877 abandoned reconstruction and handed back power to these people - the Redeemers.
Netflix is sort of already doing this, producing films based on your content and metrics of what you search for and watch. They aren't automating the actual movie bits yet, but it's progress.
I don't know about Taleb, but Nate Silver's book on Bayesian statistics and prediction in general got me really interested in statistics from a general-reader standpoint. Where I ended up digging harder into the more math/sciencey books afterwards.

The part about predicting Earthquakes and his work on sports is really good.

What's the copyright holder doing in any case? They're the one that created the work! (Or who bought the right from the one who did.)

I don't even know where your question comes from.

IntelliJ has much more functionality than Slack so it's a poor choice to compare it to. Also... comparing slow cross platform tool to another sluggish cross platform tool isn't really a great place to start.

The fact that this Rip Cord does 99% of what Slack does and uses a fraction of the memory and runs faster pretty much says it all. Javascript/ Electron are resource hogs.
The rest of the sentence says “...and a lot of the basics”, so she did both, took all 13 AI classes and CS classes on databases and compilers etc.

Hope that helps.

There is an article showing how to write git using python called "Write yourself a Git" [0] (HN post here: [1]).

This one shows the fundamentals of git in far less than 700 pages. In fact you can go through it and understand git in an hour or two. For me this seems much more worthwhile than seeing in depth how all the git porcelain commands are done.

On the flip side, the recruiter for the place I now work at mentioned couple of times that the company preferred "seasoned" employees and there was subtle hint of "make sure you're OK with that."

It definitely skewed older at the time I joined, although we've hired quite a few people in their 20's/early 30's since then.

It's a difficult situation for a good recruiter. On one hand, you don't want to discriminate illegally, but on the other hand, you want the company you're working for (and the candidate) to be happy with your results.

In addition, bumpers (front and rear) are designed to pop off quite easily, to deflect force away from the vehicle. the way they crinkle up and come off, full replacement often makes sense.
I totally agree with you and don't think that you are an old man yelling at clouds. Then again maybe we both are.

I am a zealot about driving mindfully, actively and defensively. When I am driving, I am driving. I go the second the light turns green, I scan ahead constantly to change lanes a hundred yards before a slow car or obstacle. A lot of other folks do this, it is not unique or special. But... I think the vast majority of people do not drive this way and it drives me absolutely nuts.

How often do you see someone accelerating towards a car that is decellerating (usually in the far right lane) and then, at the very last minute, they slam on their brakes realizing the situation they are in. Why didn't that person notice the situation before it happened, since it happens all the time, and move over before getting stuck?

How often do you miss a turn lane signal because people in your line were either not paying attention or taking their sweet time to react?

It's not just the fault of devices, though that is a significant factor. I think phones exacerbate the real issue which is that, lately, people are not mindful about what they are doing (driving, walking, etc...)

Agreed. Her story is tragic but it's hard to feel sorry for someone who threw away a tenure track position, didn't want to leave NYC, didn't want to leave academia for the sake of her health. All of her self-imposed requirements were ridiculous, and lack of insight is no excuse.

I wonder if there is not some technological solution that can be built into smartphones to prevent this from happening. I realize that they are doing double duty as GPS & music, but imagine if your phone could detect that you are in the driver's seat and the car is moving and disable any application but the GPS. I know this would be hard, but it doesn't seem like it would be "self-driving car" hard and would have immediate societal benefit.
Seem like one of those in group type biases. Where the more similar something is the more we obsesses over the differences. Presumably because we can relate to a lot more of the information.

Somewhat ironically being irrational can actually be a good way to make unknown, but largely equal, decisions. Because at least you picked something with conviction, rather than having analyzed the situation incorrectly.

Of course for a lot of us good choices aren't the problem so much as the downside. I remember someone made a calculator online for how many time one would most likely see their parents before they died.
