Yeah... hard pass. If the first thing I'm doing is defining a code of conduct for a few (close) people with shared interests, something is very wrong with the kind of friends I keep.
It really appears there is just a shell of the building left. Unfortunately there is not much footage from ground level close to the structure at this time
Thanks for pointing this out. I noticed the typo of "hanrd" ("hard") on the re-creation and drew the further conclusion that they weren't even taking the issue seriously enough to pay attention to their slide content. Even though it doesn't change what ultimately happened, it's nice to know that someone was paying at least cursory attention.
That's not necessarily a bad thing. It could lead to more people learning and understanding machine learning models, and improvements from the constructive criticism.
Do you think we should trust his narrative? I remember watching the disingenuous way he debated Chomsky on Israel/Palestine and thinking that he was totally sleazy

Missing from this site is the Janko-layout keyboard I got a few months ago, the Chromatone: https://chromatone.jp/online-shop/en.html

It looks like it has an enormous number of keys, but they are linked together, with each horizontal position being a note, and 3-4 "buttons" on the same physical lever for each note. This makes fingerings very flexible. The closer spacing of the key layout means you can reach bigger chords more easily - I can comfortably play a 10th, for example. The layout is isomorphic, so transposing is as simple as shifting your hands along.

I have played (standard) piano for over 30 years, and this was immediately intuitive for anything melodic. I am far from an expert yet, but the biggest difficulty has been the lack of colours on the keys, which makes it hard to jump big intervals, or play the same note in different octaves in both hands. The lack of colours is because keys don't play a fixed note; the whole keyboard can be transposed by pressing a couple of buttons. Also, because the layout is isomorphic and they were trying to get away from the traditional note system.
I am planning to try different colourings with masking tape or post-its, but I wish it had an RGB led for each key (not sure I can justify the effort of rigging that up).

The layout itself is great, and is the reason to buy this. Everything else is less great, and really shows its age (I have the newer model, the CT-312, which dates from something like 2007).
The biggest hardware deficiency is the lack of a sustain pedal input, but I expect I can find a way around that with MIDI out or by rigging something up with the
(toggle!) sustain button on the control panel. The sound synthesis is also pretty poor, but again, MIDI out.

The best thing about the Chromatone in comparison to all these other alternative keyboards, is that it's (1) Available, and (2) Free! They're clearing out old stock or something, so all I paid was shipping from Japan.

I'm happy to answer questions about it, though I haven't had the keyboard long and I'll be going to work soon.
Usually it's not the chips actually desoldering so much as it is thermal cycling causing the solder joints to crack. Most ICs can't really survive being heated to solder melt temperature for an extended period.

Either way, it's pretty bad that they didn't do something about it. That's indicative of a pretty serious manufacturing or design flaw.
Many users "want" the "streak" features as a way to signalling their commitment to their social relationship with another individual, which is the feature this article is about.

> The cost of bad policing shouldn't be paid for by businesses.

How does that count as "businesses paying for bad policing"?
Why would someone recreate that slide instead of just using the original? Gah, that's sloppy reporting. Makes me suspect the entire story told, now that you pointed that out.
How to Simplify Your Life and Maximize Your Results (2015)
Identity is a complex construct, and it needs symbols like that. Even if as a symbol of Church it's no longer relevant, it is still at least a past achievement to be proud of.

And we are talking a building that has survived the French history, the Revolutionaries didn't destroy it, the Communards didn't destroy it (and the destruction in this event were quite extensive http://paris1900.lartnouveau.com/paris00/commune_destruction...). It's a testament of the culture importance of the building and the fact it far exceeds its religious function.

On the Nature of Discrete Space-Time [2018]
This was replaced by all big tech companies matching market rates. Google pays 90-95 percentile of the market. Apple pays 90-95 percentile of market. They reevaluate each year. But since they are the biggest, highest paying ones, the increase in salaries is minimal.

Consider: From 2013 to 2018, Google's revenue rose 2.5x. Google's employee count rose 1.8x. Google's salaries did not rise 33%. You might argue that there is more supply, but that's extremely unlikely. CS degree graduations rose single digit percent (if at all), and graduates make a small portion of the total working force.
The same calculation I'd expect to hold for any of the big five companies.
Curious, for situations like this what happens if we airdrop a ton of small balls of dry ice? Like a hailstorm of dry ice?
We weren't at the briefing. Surely the briefer could have emphasized these points, rather than just relying on the slide itself to convey the seriousness of the situation. Or, the judgement of the audience to pick up that they hadn't tested for this situation.

I like Tufte as much as anyone else, but he's in the business of selling courses.
As the word 'age' is used in the original comment, a likely synonym is 'millenia', so you are in aggreement with the poster.

Ask HN: Scent Sensitivity?
I have several people around me who are sensitive to different scents (chemicals and perfume). When exposed, they experience headaches, and sometimes find it hard to function at all.

I never remember hearing about this at all when I was growing up. Is this much more prevalent than it used to be?

And if so, why? Is it because of a change in the chemicals used to create the scents (or the chemicals that the scents are trying to cover up), or is something making people more sensitive than they used to be?
So let me get this straight:

- The chefs on said youtube channel complain about the temperature being non-consistent on their ovens.

- Your wife also ran into this problem with her oven.

- Your wife was able to cook using a pizza oven, which did NOT display this problem.

- Therefore, the chefs from the channel are bad chefs, worse than your wife.

I have not watched this youtube channel and cannot comment on the skill of the chefs, but your comment's conclusion does not logically follow.
The Sagrada is not a good example as it is more complex than traditional gothic. Part of the original plans were supposedly unsound and several architects intervened over the decades. But granted, we're still probably talking decades.
That's not always bad policing. The police aren't in the business of determining guild or innocence. The courts are. There will be innocent people who are arrested.

But I don't see how preventing companies from being able to fire people solely because of an arrest actually costs them anything.

No, the NASA officials are the ones that killed seven people. Is there audio from the presentation? If you are meeting with some group about something that is life or death, you sit your butt down and ask questions until you get the actual situation. They didn't do it for Challenger and they failed to do it for Columbia. You are in charge, the decision is yours and you are responsible.

On a side note, the whole first paragraph is just plain insulting to anyone who is making a life or death decision. If that is the attitude of anyone in the meeting, then they shouldn't have that job.

Talking about what might exist that the laws of nature as we currently understand them would prevent us from ever having any evidence whatsoever of... it's def not a scientific claim or inquiry, sounds philosophical to me. If it can't be observed, like it's even theoretically impossible to observe it or have evidence of it, ever... it's not science.
I thought this was going to be a more direct kill, as in maybe a slide that flashed bright colors very quickly and killed people who got seizures from it.

Just how explicitly is this instruction presented? For better or worse, I don't think you can expect users to read everything presented to them. (Partly because we bombard them with cookie notices, ads, and other crap)
My main complain is that whenever I start the desktop client after few days, it takes forever to load the old messages.

From the description, it seems like it's less about the chat app itself and more about developing and designing a new secure protocol and infrastructure that will influence future products by commercial or other entities.

gilliam made it all the way through shooting in the 90s with johnny depp and the movie was canceled very late in production. the version we're discussing now is a complete reboot. it was shown at cannes and had a limited theatrical release in france.

a release in the US was planned for the same time, and in fact the movie was very briefly streaming on amazon in the US, but ultimately got locked up because one of the producers of the original version took gilliam to court.
Tracking the Global Footprint of Fisheries
The "requirement" for a fleet average of 95g of CO2/km in the EU is inevitably pushing many manufacturers to double-down on full EVs, as provided you can sell enough they can have a dramatic effect on the fleet average. (It's a requirement insofar as there are fines for being over, but there's no other consequences in the short-term.)
Based upon that diet you'd get 0% of your Vitamin D, 5 % of your vitamin A, and 15% of your calcium. You'd get 4 grams of fat, no sodium, and barely any potassium. You'd be getting 180% of your recommended carbs for the day.

I doubt that would be sustainable over the long term.

As much as I appreciate the sentiment and I never like to miss a chance to pile on PowerPoint, this is really, really missing the point.

As the CAIB report makes clear, the PowerPoint slide was a small symptom of the actual problem of a complex organization gradually accepting more and more risk as “in family” simply because unexplained phenomena hadn’t caused serious issues before (while remaining unexplained). The CAIB report really is a masterpiece (as is Feynman’s appendix to the Challenger report) of understanding how the understanding of risk can be subjugated to organizational pressures over time.

This is what you Pollyannas need to get through your thick skulls: There is no "solution".

You can't "solve" something that has already happened.

There’s definitely audio from all those meetings. You can hear the mission manager plow right through the issues with bureaucratic ease. They’ve seen something similar before and even though it was unexplained, because they’ve seen it, they think it’s a known issue.

You want to blame her for it and shake her out of it as you hear her say it, but it wasn’t malicious. I believe the mission manager even had a spouse who was an astronaut, so it’s obviously not like they don’t care. I’ve always found it fascinating how organizational structure and pressure can take really brilliant and motivated people and beat them into making such poor decisions.

It’s really important to remember that these people are not idiots. It’s literally a room of rocket scientists and space shuttle mission managers. It’s so easy for us all to say here that it was so easy to see it happening and that anyone who didn’t ask the right question was a moron, but these structures take on a life of their own. If I had it to start all over again, studying that would make a fascinating and potentially rewarding career.
they actually did stream it and sell DVDs very briefly here in the US, but they pulled it as soon as the legal issues became known.

Yes but a vast swathe of attacks are stopped with good encryption.

I had a salary in my last company and did on call which came with a paid component if we were called to do work off hours. We were working on that in my current company, but they just basically let me set my own hours to deal with that. Work a lot for a few days, go home early on other days. Have some downtime? Expect you might need to work extra some other time. My company doesn't abuse this, although there have been a few really critical months of crunch time in the past few years. It's basically all evened out for me.
Tufte makes a good point that the critical information could have been conveyed so much more effectively.

If only the managers had been given a better summary! But I think this is a vast over-simplification.

Even with a crystal-clear summary of the issues, it doesn't always add up to a clear disaster on your hands. Only in hindsight. The shuttle was an incredibly complex system and there were always issues to examine, to fix, to prioritize, to defer. There is just a lot to regularly weigh.

I find myself completely nauseated when exposed to lavender, so I doubt it's anything to do with the chemicals being used.

For my family (since my aversion is familial), I attribute it to the relatively strong sinus reactions my dad's side has. Whenever exposed to certain strong smells, we start making mucus, and then it collects in the sinuses and causes a major pressure headache followed by mucus dripping out.

I'm guessing it's related to allergies? For us, it's nothing to do with modern times, since I have it, my dad has it, his family did, etc.

Another thing that is commonly baked, by professionals: old tapes that have trapped too much moisture and start to deteriorate. They're placed in ovens for much longer, at lower temperatures.

Yeah, it's clear that the slide was poorly written, but it seems very odd to put the lion's share of the blame on the people who presented accurate information poorly, instead of the people who thought it was okay to merely skim a <150-word slide when seven lives depended on their comprehension.

Why on Earth did they veto even doing a spacewalk to inspect the damage, before concluding it was safe?
Not surprised at all. This is the way enterprise systems are.

It's a little depressing to go to work and try to deal with the atrocious stuff I have to deal with, and then think how much of my life is online at companies probably just as bad as my own.
Given that France is "overwhelmingly Roman Catholic" [0], your last statement could be considered interchangeable. Perhaps (and I'm not French, so I don't know) many of the people consider them to be one and the same. Either way, it's a reasonable point that you made.

Modeling a mind as giant stimulus->response is similar issue as "breaking" an block cipher by building exhaustive input->output map, which for 256b blocks almost certainly requires more resources than is contained in whole known universe.

On the other hand while uploading minds probably has some issues, it involves replicating thing that we can assume resides in physical space, the question remains as to how and whether at all we can measure the internal structure with sufficient accuracy and whether such measurement is nondestructive.

And in the end, problem of somehow interfacing with an mind can mean many things which range from solved issue (when typing this comment counts as "interfacing") to something that for me seems like purely engineering issue (building new neural attached "peripherals" for the brain or emulating existing ones)
This is not an issue that putting in the oven is going to resolve. It's an issue with the die of the GPU. By introducing heat stress to the die it may be "functional" for a short period, but it is not a fix. This fallacy has existed for decades and was most prevalent in the Xbox 360 days. This is why the "towel method" was said to work, but was never a permanent solution.
