What do you mean by distribute the work ?

I've done hyperparameter searches manually, they're widely used in academic labs ("hyperparameter descent by grad student"), and I've also done a bit of hyperparameter automatic search, but I can't see what you meant.
The innocuous use of TV-B-Gone devices was to shut off at once all TV sets at malls; it was rather a prank than a destructive act, with the added benefit of getting some peace.
same here,for most cross platform desktop gui I too consider electron is the best choice,though may not be the perfect one.
I was replying to a comment that ended with "Let's hope our understanding of brain death is fully and completely correct."

It seemed pertinent to that line of thinking.

There's a fairly rich history of Western Christians who were serious scientists and also sincere believers in God who argued that belief is a matter of faith, God is not provable and there is zero contradiction between being both a Christian and a scientist.

I don't have some personal need to relitigate that point. I'm very aware that some people frame things in terms of religion and some don't.

I don't personally feel it is critically important to pick a camp in order to see the story this woman told as intriguing and potentially casting light upon or at least calling into question some of our current framing concerning brain death being the single most important detail.

I know it's a touchy subject for most people. Whether they believe in a soul and a religious/spiritual framing or not, they tend to feel strongly that the other camp is in the wrong and that this is a really big deal.

I generally agree with the conclusion that "being a believer" is a matter of faith. Some people believe. Some don't.

I believe in souls and reincarnation and so forth. My ex did not. Everyone swore that a marriage could not work if you didn't have the same belief system in that regard.

We both believed in the American Constitutional right of freedom to believe as you saw fit. It was the only thing we didn't fight about in two decades of non stop arguing.

Having different points of view in this matter had no bearing on the decision to divorce.
Of course. If the email contacts were of no value, Facebook wouldn't be taking them from accounts. People tend not to to steal worthless assets. Unfortunately, monetary loss for the user may be tougher to prove than monetary gain for the thief.
So 35 years can be compressed into, say 6 weeks, using only about 300 computers. I'm impressed what we can do with the computers of today.
This doesn't make sense to me at all. Surely you could prototype faster with existing EDA tools that some VR tool where you "built" the circuit in VR. You can already do sophisticated simulation without VR, you don't need a VR environment to do what you describe as basic circuit simulation.

And you will need electronics debugging tools in the end when you want to actually build the item, unless it will remain only in the VR environment.
Of course there’s testing. It amounts to:

return true;

Return true is tested to still work.

But seriously. There’s no accident in what happened. This is Facebook. Anyone who thinks Facebook isn’t morally corrupt probably also says “What do you mean Stalin wasn’t a pacifist?”
As far as churches, I’ve seen a number of places that 70% of the church’s budget goes to keeping the church afloat.

This seems to be the standard way to do it (at least in Finland).

My dentist asks if there is pain, looks if they have surfaced and takes X-ray on some years to verify. One of my wisdom teeth was pulled because X-Ray showed inflammation. Rest of them are still there.

The charitable reading is that they meant 'Xubuntu'. They probably argue that Xubuntu is nice, but not the future because it does not do atomic upgrades with rollbacks.

(I largely agree that OSTree-based systems are better, but Ubuntu is so popular that it is unlikely that Silverblue replaces it soon. By the way, Silverblue fans should look at Nix ;).)
Weird that it's happening again. I wonder what infrastructure changes they're making to presumably cause this?
Personally I think it could use some more interweaving of commentary compared to current knowledge for context of just how on or off base they were in climatology, archarlogical, and sociological aspects. The Angor Wat example was hillariously bad because megastructure monuments are way more of a southern endeavor. I believe it took until Cathedrals to get anywhere close in Northern Europe - and even then the huge windows had a real purpose - lighting.

Lack of gratuitous size in buildings there makes sense from heating costs alone - let alone sustainable population densities. Why make more space to warm than you need to live or defend? Plus why spend time making grand rock piles when there is winter to prepare for?

This isn't intended as a putdown to other cultures as frivolous- to them there is less reason to prepare excess food which would never get eaten and would probably rot. Why pickle what you can get fresh except for liking the taste - at which point it is mere luxury salt consumption compared to just getting it fresh.

Although I have a bit more tolerance for "multithreaded" topic presentation than most so I may be in the minority when it comes to interweaving.

When Did the Anthropocene Begin? A Great Climate Debate
The move by Trans States Holdings and Skywest Inc to order this aircraft, specifically the MRJ90 variant, is interesting. Currently, in the US, the three major carriers United, Delta, and American are in contract negotiations with their pilots. A hot button topic during these negotiations is always scope. Scope sections basically define what flying must be done in house and what flying and how much flying can be outsourced. As it is currently, I’m not aware that any of the 3 major carriers, who contract this type of regional flying with TSA, SKW, etc. have permissive enough scope clauses to contract out flying to these companies on this aircraft. If I remember correctly even the updated ERJ175 took some negotiating to get the unions on board as it was outside of the weight limits set by some carriers’ scope clauses. The standard cutoff as of today for regional flying is 76 seats, this is why the CRJ-900 and ERJ175 have exactly 76 seats and the ERJ190 is flown by American Airlines proper rather than a contractor. Given many airline pilots feel their career has been hampered by two decades of regional jet fee for departure arrangements I see little hope for scope being relieved for regional airlines to fly bigger and bigger aircraft.

Of course, the move to secure order places may simply be a strategic move to trade those spots on the order book for more flying should one of the legacy airlines choose to order the MRJ for themselves. It’s interesting how the chess pieces move and fun to watch!

TLDR; Don’t expect to see this aircraft flying under the colors of any of the legacy airlines in the US until you see them ordered by the legacy airlines themselves.

You probably could just say CNN instead of the Onion and people wouldn’t bat an eye. Which is sad.
I don't know the details of that particular case, or of the Swiss in general, but the idea sounds really disturbing. I could just as easily translate "the supreme court has now voided the result on the grounds that voters were not given full information, and the vote must be re-run." into:

"The elites decided that the expressed will of the people can be ignored, because they were not exposed to enough propaganda beforehand to convince them to select the choice that the elite wanted. We'll just keep holding new referendums and pumping out propaganda until they make the correct choice, i.e. the choice that the elite want."
Hello, I think this is an interesting idea, I don't remember seeing anything similar. Your website looks professional and explains the process well. Congratulations on the idea and website! A small suggestion would be: I wasn't first sure if the group includes only the two people dating, or if its a group with other travelers and those 2 people dating join the rest.

>“If an app violates our policies, we take action

Bullshit, Google. Bullshit. Only a very small proportion of the apps on Play ask only for the permissions that are needed to perform their task, and Internet access is not a deniable permission, leaving a nice little back door for them to siphon off your data. The example of the flashlight app is not an edge case, it's the norm. Google does not care because they'd rather earn more ad revenue than have quality apps, and the number of apps with the ability to seriously spy on you is staggering.

I don't think personal liability for white collar crime would be "dangerous." Someone either signed off on this, or negligently let it happen, and they should own it. Unfortunately, we'll probably just keep fining the company, and occasionally dragging Zuck in front of Congress for a bit of scolding and boilerplate apologizing.
> Is it though? the talk about privacy often ignores what lack of privacy could potentially mean. A fully covered surveillance state with proper AI and fast respondent police can get rid of entire types of crimes entirely. Burglary, Rubbery, Kidnapping, stranger rape, many types of violent outside crimes.

You're missing some crimes from your list: being part of a minority political party, disparaging the ruling party, expressing dissent, failing to adhere to formalized social norms, being an "undesirable". I could go on.

No, these are not crimes today. But if the apparatus you describe was in place, they could easily be made crimes and you couldn't stop it. Because the moment you tried, you'd be whisked away.
If you include the notation used in math and science, then the actual level of literacy is at the same levels as you would have seen 500 years ago. It’s actually kind of similar; the liturgical class was literate enough to read and study the Bible, and the masses relied on them to parse the information. Today, it’s statistical models, but the concept is the same.
My favorite is the variation where the base numbers and replacement strings are supplied as run-time parameters.

I found the first-person narration of On Blue’s Waters emotionally devastating. Wolfe endowed that narrator with so much pain, bitterness, regret, and loss. I got On Blue’s Waters as soon as it came out and was eager for the following volumes, but I must admit that the rest of that trilogy really disappointed me, namely: 1) Wolfe’s putting characters’ dialogue in annoying thick dialect of various sorts, 2) mapping the distant planet’s various cultures to silly ethnic stereotypes of our planet’s Italians, Indians, and Dutch, and 3) gratuitously bringing the action back to The Book of the New Sun which didn’t add much to the plot and felt like a cheap commercial tie-in.

Yes I went through this exact thing recently. I tried Gnome, then XFCE, then i3.

I settled with i3 reacting to my connecting/disconnecting my laptop from my monitor, but even then the resolutions never looked correct.

I ended up selling my Lenovo Carbon x6 and bought a macbook pro. I was so bitter about the experience, but on the other hand I'm no longer worrying about things that should just work.

> A criminal investigation into whether or not this was really accidental would be entirely warranted here. If there was intent to access this information without authorized access that is criminal.

I don't understand this. Claiming that something is an accident and not intentional usually isn't much of an excuse where it comes to the criminal acts.
Hmm, genetic mods... Is that ethical?

Shouldn't we let the government decide what mods are legal, in order to delay all treatments by a decade and line the lobbyists' pockets with money?
Oh it's very much possible. Threading, GPU, webassembly. Browsers are as desirable today for computing as the machine they are running on.

I tried Chrome and it's the same behavior as Firefox, so connection could be it. It's not terribly weird - corporate LAN. There could be some element of "proxy" in there, but I'm not using a VPN right now.

On my phone, on the Wifi, it does seem to work, though! (But the Wifi has different rules; for example, they block Facebook, LinkedIn, etc on Wifi, but not on the LAN.)

The only other thing - I know they block some cloud storage on the LAN. Is that a requirement?

Looking in Dev Tools, I don't specifically see anything blocked or failing to load.

(edited to add) Do you require Third Party Cookies? I see a lot of Warnings in the console: "Request to access cookie or storage... was blocked because we are blocking all third-party storage access requests and content blocking is enabled."

Signal doesn't upload your contact's details anywhere. It hashes your phone number and sends that to a central service that knows which hashed numbers have Signal. Then it periodically asks that service whether hashes of contact numbers are in the list in order to decide whether to suggest Signal for them instead of unencrypted messages.

It turns out that some people genuinely are forgetful enough that if they told their iPhone Bob's number, email address and shoe size in 2016 and then in 2019 their phone finds out that phone number is registered for Signal, they will conclude that the phone must have learned Bob's details from Signal, which in turn stole them from Bob as part of some nefarious plan.

You can't do anything about this, it's like the Spam problem. If you send ten million very, very useful emails that are genuinely valued by every human recipient, hundreds of them will be flagged "spam" because Humans aren't very good at this sort of thing. They press the wrong button or they've been using "mark as spam" because they thought it's "mark as read" or they meant to mark the one below it, or above it.
Unity has fractional scaling for many years now that I never had a single problem with - no blur, nothing like that. I've used it on multiple monitors from 12 to 27 inch, resolutions ranging from 1920x1080 to 4K. Gnome is a massive disappointment in this regard - feels like a serious downgrade. I'm still using Unity on Ubuntu 18.04 and waiting for a DE that will at least have a matching feature set, but it looks like it's gonna be a long wait.
Yes, Norwegian (along with Swedish and Danish) does have a fairly close connection to German.

When I began German in school (at around age 13, iirc), the fact that I had already learned Swedish as a child (due to family roots) gave me a noticeable head start over the rest of the class. Many German words that would have been completely foreign to me as an English speaker were immediately understandable through Swedish.
Awesome data, I really wish it was presented better. Screenshots of tabular data?! Nothing is searchable. Alignment is all over the place.
The section he quoted says “knowingly and with intent”.
It uses ridiculous amounts of resources, introduces security issues (when you remove a bunch of the sandboxing a browser does, but then still execute content that comes from the web, bad things are gonna happen), and generally the apps don't conform to any desktop norms for any platform.
Hmmm...I don't see much Randian about this effort. I'm not sure Rand would have approved of a CEO trying to help the poor at all. His point about soup kitchens being depressing places to have to eat, whether it is accurate or not, is at least evidence of thinking about the psychological need for respect of the recipient. Anyway, again, I'm not saying this was the right approach, I'm just saying the article should be more "let's learn what we can here", and less "look at this dumb rich guy being a jerk for trying to help people in a way that didn't work well".
Saying you prefer a welfare state provided by "professionals" does not necessary mean bureaucrats. It also includes things like social workers who have undergone rigorous training to better deal with the mentally ill, those suffering from addiction, and vulnerable minorities. A church or charity worker, no matter how well-meaning they might be, does not necessarily have those skills.

Ask HN: What is deliberate practice for programmers?
This has been asked before. Many people say "work on projects" or "read lots of code." But that's not what deliberate practice is.

According to Eriksson and Pool (2016, "Peak"), deliberate practice is different from what they call "purposeful practice" (trying very hard to push yourself past your limits and improve). In contrast, deliberate practice is both purposeful and /informed/. "In particular, deliberate practice is informed and guided by the best performers' accomplishments and by an understanding of what these expert performers do to excel." (p. 98)

Is there anything that satisfies these criteria? (from p. 99-100):

1. Deliberate practice develop skills that other people have already figured out how to do and for which effective training techniques have been established.

2. Deliberate practice requires a student to constantly try things that are just beyond his or her current abilities. It demands near maximal effort, which is generally /not enjoyable/.

3. Deliberate practice involves well-defined, specific goals and often involves improving some aspect of the target performance; it is not aimed at some vague overall improvement.

4. Deliberate practice involves immediate feedback and modification of efforts in response to that feedback.

5. Deliberate practice nearly always involves building or modifying previously acquired skills by focusing on particular aspects of those skills and working to improve some /specifically/. Because of the way the new skills are built on top of existing skills, it is important for teachers to provide beginners with the correct fundamental skills in order to minimize the chances that the student will have to relearn those fundamental skills later when at a more advanced level.

The best violinists spend 3-6 hours in deliberate practice per day. They are guided by teachers---teachers who know what the best violinists need to know, and the steps to get there.
