Yes, I also had this smug attitude, having used the X terminals (the real ones, as in physical X terminals) back in 1994 or so, and then using X11 on various machines and operating systems since then.

Then I started using Mac OS X and I realized that it's actually nice to be able to select text and NOT have it auto-copied obliterating my clipboard, but instead be able to replace it using Command-V. And it's a pretty cool invention that the same shortcuts work in all applications, consistently. And that I can copy text in any application and paste it in any other using the same shortcut. And that I don't have to use the middle mouse button, which is a scrollwheel these days and is difficult to hit without invoking the scroll functionality. And it's pretty nice to be able to paste to where the cursor is RIGHT NOW without carefully positioning the mouse pointer and making sure it doesn't move while you carefully try to hit the middle button (otherwise your text will get inserted wherever the mouse moves in the meantime, if you are in a browser edit window).

I could go on. There are so many things which can be done better if we drop the "the way X11 did this is the best way, ever" attitude.

And then, eventually, once we get text copy/paste right, we can get to copying images, which again is a totally solved problem on Mac OS X.
The (2..4) range would work for Czech in this example (if I'm reading the CLDR right), but I'm afraid it wouldn't be sufficient for languages with more complex plural rules. Take the rule that returns "one" in Latvian, for example:

n % 10 = 1 and
n % 100 != 11 or
v = 2 and
f % 10 = 1 and
f % 100 != 11 or
v != 2 and
f % 10 = 1

…where n is the absolute value of the number, f is the visible fractional digits with trailing zeros, and v is _the number_ of visible fraction digits with trailing zeros. Some rules can get even more complex than that; see [0] and [1].

It's safer and more robust to rely on the plural categories defined by the Unicode: (zero | one | two | few | many | other), and by the APIs provided by the platform (ICU, Intl.PluralRules, etc.).

Uh... removable batteries?!

I jest, but my best hope for a stagnant market is competition on merits that we really want, and less so for the whizz-bang features that attract attention without improving our lives.

I've got a used Nexus 6P with a dying battery. I don't know of any improvements in newer phones I need (except security updates!) but I'm torn whether I want to learn how to replace the battery and risk damage, or shell out some bucks for a local repair shop to do it.

Let new phones come out that are "as good as" the current phones, but reintroduce features we had to "give up" to get them this good. Batteries, useful I/O ports, comfortable shapes to fit our faces...
At least they seem to have a thesaurus at hand. Last month they "mistakenly" did something.

That's great to hear. I think being in a place where you can see seasonal change also has a calming and humbling effect. The wisteria in the springtime, the beautiful colors of the leaves in autumn - being around those changes in your natural habitat can be destressing and comforting, as they show that life and the natural world still goes on around you.
I'm talking about AI/ML.
It's because everyone uses it, so it's highly suspicious if you don't use it.

Also if you don't use it, it leaves open the door for others to define your digital identity. Someone could open a profile with my first name and last name and share pictures that are meant to debase, defame or something else. At least if I share something, I can push something that I want and define myself what is my digital identity.

Plus the other which is being able to be contacted by remote family or other high school contacts etc.

My toilet is dramatically different, better ceramic and less of it, lighter. It's a close-coupled cistern doing away with some piping. It's dual flush, uses much less water; it even has a redesigned ball-cock (float shut-off valve). It has a soft-close removeable seat/lid.

It's actually surprising the amount of new tech in a regular toilet - even compared to 20 years ago. And that's not a complex automated toilet, just a standard UK crapper.
Well done, this is a great comment! And I really disagree with it.

I actually think "salty" is a very deep misunderstanding of why people are writing such comments, and the attempt to politely call it negative by labeling it "salty" is ironically itself very negative and aggressive.

By making that timid, low-level aggression very blunt and calling it "nihilistic asshat", you are making a very good point. But I don't think they are actually nihilistic asshats. And I think even a true nihilist asshat is worthy of some respect.

"hyperparameter descent by grad student" is a lot more efficient at first, much of the time the loss function has caveats which make it easy to fall into parts of the search space which don't actually accomplish the task (for example when empty frame = true reduces the loss) something a grad student would easily figure out. Until you get to the point where you are fairly certain the search is within the right space its hard to ensure that throwing a lot of compute at that search will yield anything useful.

The difference is like:like vs like:unlike, and seems to be one of the more dangerous ML application challenges.

If I as a medical provider hire a remote vendor, who has medical teams in India look over initial results to flag issues, those humans will fail in human ways. I can anticipate that: I'm a human.

If I use a similar ML product, it's very difficult for me to anticipate (or even understand) the ways it which it might / does fail. Which makes it unlike my previous experience. Which gives it a fundamentally different risk profile.

It's the Boeing issue in a nutshell: the failure case that unfolded was unlike the scenarios the pilots were trained for. Unfortunately, in the two crashes they were unable to dynamically RCA quickly enough to solve the problem.

My point was that coupled with IBM's inept and inaccurate marketing, it seems unlikely the appropriate risk information is in the hands of those responsible for managing risk.

And honestly, if a system has unlimited failure modes, and I can't learn and limit them in practice, it's useless.

Because in that scenario I should be duplicating all the work it's done to ensure it didn't go off the rails. In practice (and guided by labor cost savings promised in the contract signed with management), that full verification doesn't happen (because the vendor is incentivized to recommend it doesn't), and people die.

It's solved there because it's a walled garden. It's essentially a different problem that they've solved. The problem here is making that work while still being the free software operating system we love.

I have yet to see a bicycle with bluetooth. (electric bike is not the same thing). My car doesn't have bluetooth - it is only 13 years/250000 miles out so it has plenty of life left (most people replace their cars long before they are worn out, I drive mine into the ground). I haven't seen a leaf rake with bluetooth either, and most lawn mowers still don't have it either.

I'm well aware that the dream phone may never exist. That doesn't mean I don't want it.
Which itself is not obvious to many users. I made the mistake of installing 17.04 and it was a major headache to upgrade it after support was dropped.
I think Huawei's offering is a lot further along, purely on the basis that they let random Youtube bloggers play with the phone uninterrupted and post videos about it, with really close looks at the "seamlessness" of the screen at the bend point.

Samsung on the other hand limited their YT exposure to demos where Samsung staff handled the phone.
The problem starts when your friends doing 'cool' things as defined by them, then start subtly judging people who are not part of that gang. People hangout only with people who do the exact same thing otherwise there is just no point of hanging out. Instead, the truth is that our brains are quite capable of making friends with different people who do different activities and have a round robin going on. This is how we grow as a person. Human pettiness is universal and it is easy for the brain to keep noticing who is different than them, and completely missing the point.
I worked there (Watson Health) a few years back. All that happened is IBM. That's right. They bought us (a small start-up) and this is what they did in a year to us:
1. replaced managers with their own who didn't get anything, kind of old date executives taken away from mainframe
2. banned remote work (this costed them a few brilliant engineers)
3. opened one huge open space full of noise and chatter, I mean sales team next to the development team, etc (this cost them even more headcount among experienced developers)
4. For months we did nothing! There were whole teams doing nothing for months on an end. I wrote zero lines of code in over 6 month period. Why? Because management didn't know which direction should be taken... and they kept hiring too! They kept hiring new developers when the ones already at place had absolutely nothing to do!

This is from my (simple developer) perspective. Not sure how it looked in sales, among executives, etc. But that was very weird environment.

I had great Manager who asked me to learn react and take courses in react (mind you it was two years back!) As we "might want to do something in react in the future". So I basically spent my last six months there learning React, aka preparing to the job interviews... they even got us paid courses and all. I mean... IBM.

And once they fired me (these were lay-offs, thousands affected, many of them just hired in past year, like myself) I was paid severance pay too. I went there worked a year, last 6 months was learning for job interviews... fantastic pay too. IBM is crazy.

I think the enforcement is way more imbalanced than you realize.

Here's an example, how about instead of "X should die", it's "lol, can all X just die?". They give it a little jocular spin with the "Lol", but it's effectively the same comment.

Here's the deal: if X in that comment is "black people", you get banned on Twitter. If it's "white people" you don't get banned.

Now personally, I don't mind the comment in either form. I don't believe it's an actual threat to anyone. It's kind of edgelordy, but whichever. And beyond that, I'd be very unhappy if someone got banned for something like that, because it just stomps over whatever other, more legitimate commentary they might've had.

I'm interested in having conversations, even imperfect ones. All conversations are imperfect.

But OK, let's move past "X should die".

But it's not just that. Any discussion where one side can be spun as a vulnerable minority (merit be damned), that minority status can be used to silence the other side.

So for example, consider transwomen in women's sports. There's a not-insignificant push among trans activists to claim that transwomen are "biologically female". I think the logic with that is: 1. sex is fuzzier than most people realize (debatable) and 2. hormone treatments are sufficient to tip someone over the line into the other biological sex (also debatable).

Referring to a trans woman as male for the sake of argument runs you a serious risk of getting permabanned from Twitter if the person you're arguing with is particularly ornery.

We also need plants to eat. We don't need direct access to the plants to eat them, nor do we need direct access to plants to benefit from carbon dioxide to oxygen conversion. I'm not aware of where the plants I eat come from, most of the time. I'm not saying I don't need plants, I just don't necessarily need to live among them, but I like being able to see plants frequently. I have no desire to have my own garden though, I would rather appreciate nature in a public place where everyone can enjoy them, such as parks and along streets.

I think her story is out a lot because for a lot of people it seems easy to understand. She was at a new school who was hard, and due to the pressure she killed herself. I think the story is way more dense than that, plus the fact that you never know what is really going on inside people head. But the simplification of the story, the rather attractive girl, the perfect life that she was posting on social network, the big and famous university are some of the factors that might explains why she is more publicized than other. But every fight need a face, and today she is the face.
