> Before I go to a mechanic I am checking their review online.

I've tried that but it's very unreliable. Online reviews are heavily gamed. Bad mechanics have many good reviews. Good mechanics have some bad reviews, or no reviews at all because they are a tiny two-man shop.

How I found a good mechanic was to first take to all the places people recommended. All these were bad. Then I went to a place I saw in my neighborhood run off of a guy's property. Wow, they were great. Went there for years. Then they retired and closed.

Tried a few other places with small jobs. No luck. Tried online reviews. No luck. Saw a hole in the wall on the side of the road in a bad area. Tried taking it there. They are great. They not only have absolutely no online presence, the business doesn't have a name, and they only accept cash. But they always fix my car right.

> Before I hire an artist that would make some graphics for me I would ask for a portfolio. Nobody in graphic industry is surprised when someone asks to show some of their works.

That is very reasonable. But if you ignored their portfolio, and asked them to spend 4 to 50 hours doing a custom project for you at no charge to prove they were good enough, after which you plan on ghosting them, do you think they would be within reason to tell you no thanks? What I just described is the "standard technical interview" in our field.

Myself I have an established reputation and don't apply to jobs any more, unsolicited job offers come to me. Nearly all which I ignore. Anyone asking for work samples should just look around at work I have done during my career. I don't do custom work for free. However I will do such work if I am interested and paid my standard consulting rate.
I get what you’re saying. It is a really weird phenomenon that:

1) Everyone has basically the same problem (learning a language).

2) Many people are building their own tools.

3) Most people are dissatisfied with the tools available.

I have a hard time believing that there is no more efficient way possible than conversing with native speakers as one commenter seemed to suggest.

I also don’t believe the “procrastination” suggestion. My girlfriend has worked through the entire path on Duolingo Spanish. She can’t speak Spanish.
>If the ads said "You can be legally compelled to X, even if Y. Learn more about your airport rights at www.url.com" then it would be much less objectionable IMO.

It's 'less objectionable' because it's bordering on bootlicking, and could even read as a tacit endorsement of the status quo.
You might reduce the stigma if you lowered the age. People continue to perceive drinking as an act of "rebellion" even after 21, mostly because it was for so long. Besides, it doesn't work. I am literally the only person I have ever known who did not drink in HS.
Oh, absolutely. But I think they're going to be more specialized tools to work on different skills.

For example, I used to use the perapera-kun plugin and I guess yomichan does a similar thing, but that sort of tool—but say, for closed captions—could help listeners get more comprehensible input from movies. Like, here's one I have to try. https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/language-learning-...

Or just apps or social networks that help connect speakers in other languages. I know of a Discord server, that lets me practice a target language; the group just meets at an inconvenient time for me.
I suspect the vast majority is long gone--and much of what isn't gone is on decaying media that isn't well catalogued in some vault someplace. The situation is better for anything that made it into wide syndication presumably but even the owners of some shows can't rebroadcast or sell on DVD/digital in their original form because they don't own the rights to music.
Again this depends on jurisdiction. Is what you say the case in England?
Like some of the other ML/AI posts that made it to the top page today, this research too does not give any clear way to reproduce the results. I looked through the pre-print page as well as the full manuscript itself.

Without reproducibility and transparency in the code and data, the impact of this research is ultimately limited. No one else can recreate, iterate, and refine the results, nor can anyone rigorously evaluate the methodology used (besides giving a guess after reading a manuscript).

The year is 2019, many are finally realizing it's time to back up your results with code, data, and some kind of specification of the computing environment you're using. Science is about sharing your work for others in the research community to build upon. Leave the manuscript for the pretty formality.
What incentive is there for medical students to do this work for free? I don't know of any doctor that would just give away all their work for learning. They get plenty of that during their lecture.

Is this supposed to be a product to help ai radiology startups curate and manage their data? If so, are we talking about semantic segmentation, localization, or what sort of label? A lot of the time providing explicit data information will require fewer studies to generalize, but require much more work from labeling side.

I would also wonder about your data sourcing. Just because you don't have an FDA product, doesn't mean you're clear of HIPPA rules. Medical images may contain PII, especially scans that include the face.

Edit:
couple of typos...
I've got an easier solution in lieu of doing maths while drinking. When you feel warm and fuzzy, stop. That's typically only a few drinks in, and lasts for a couple hours. No issue with major dehydration.
I find these emergent behaviours fascinating:

I heard from a military friend that the Velcro was useful for being able to discard patches in case it looked like they might be captured, so as to deny information to the enemy.

I'm skeptical that there's much utility there, but maybe someone better informed than me can chime in.

I recall seeing Soul pop up on HN before, and at the time I was critical of it for being announced way too early (no working examples or even any indication of what the code might look like). This is much better, and it's good to see that it's actually progressing instead of being yet another case of vaporware.

That said, still disappointing that there doesn't appear to be any info on an actual compiler or runtime or however this is supposed to be used in actual projects; the editor configs and code samples are a start, but kinda useless if the only way to actually put 'em to use is to use a buggy web app :)

And speaking of "buggy web app", mousewheel-scrolling in the playground seems to be entirely broken on Firefox on Linux. Apparently this is true of all instances of Microsoft's web-based "Monaco" editor widget (on which the Soul playground appears to be built). What the hell, Microsoft?
> Crack was cool back when only the rich could afford it

Cocaine (specifically, powder), sure; crack was always low status. In fact, that was the whole source of the political brouhaha over crack vs. powder sentencing disparity.
Being a victim of a crime has always meant some loss of privacy. If you are murdered, they will conduct an autopsy of you to determine how you died and possibly a toxicology study to determine what drugs you had in your system. If you were raped, getting a rape exam done is recommended to document injuries and collect DNA samples. If you report your child was kidnapped, the police will likely closely examine your home for clues.

How is this any different?
The risk is reduced in two ways -- first, a smaller percentage of such packages are actually searched. In practice, the searching happens if there's something overtly suspicious about the package, or if you happen to already be of interest to authorities. If any of my packages have ever been searched, it was done well enough that I didn't notice.

Second, should my devices get damaged then the parcel carrier is on the hook to make me good.
I think it will most likely be more expensive than any of their meat products. A lot of companies have used the plant-based wave to make their products seem exclusive when in reality it's more sustainable and cheaper to produce.
Everyone has something to hide. The police will understand that.

I think William Gibson say something like, "The future is here it's just unevenly distributed."

We have made great strides, but in the U.S. social mobility is lower now, life expectancy is down, so if you have to be born to a poor family, being born earlier might be better.

I suspect this is exactly what's happening - butt covering up and down the chain of command to avoid blame and legal liability.

This makes sense in a short-term, myopic view limited to first-order effects.

Enlightened crisis management isn't about the moral way out just for the sake of morality. It's about looking ahead to the second- and third-order effects.

When Tylenol was poisoned with cyanide, Johnson & Johnson could have taken the short-term, myopic approach. They could have held press conferences to explain how this wasn't their fault, it wasn't their responsibility, that many factors contributed to the catastrophe. They could have lobbied regulators to leave Tylenol on store shelves because it was an isolated incident.

Instead, Johnson & Johnson took responsibility. They communicated continuously. They to the initiative to remove all Tylenol products from the shelves. They redesigned the product to make it tamper-evident. And they led a campaign to educate people to inspect the seal and return any product where it was broken.

This was very expensive. In the short term, Johnson & Johnson would have made more profit just concerning themselves with first-order effects.

But in the long term, second- and third-order effects dominate. J&J enhanced their image, they made the Tylenol brand more valuable, and they built a deep reservoir of trust.

One of the most important things to understand about depression and suicide is that those who are in the middle of it are in an altered state of mind. They are locked into thought patterns that are self-reinforcing and prevent rational understanding. A person who is depressed and suicidal is literally unfit for making such decisions about their life.

When the suicidal thoughts and depressed state abate, it's as if the person is suddenly a different person, of a different mind. Problems that once seemed insurmountable are no longer so. Positive things that seemed irrelevant or invisible before are suddenly there again and meaningful. It doesn't mean that all of one's problems go away or don't matter; it means that life seems livable again--and the only thing that has changed is one's thought patterns.

It's almost like the mind is drunk on despair. And just like a drunk person is unfit to drive a car, a person who is "drunk on despair"--depressed and suicidal--is unfit to "drive" their own life.

If you recognize that you are in a state of mind like this, you must use whatever rational part of your mind that remains to reject all of the thoughts and impulses of the despairing part. Don't give the drunk the keys to the car; he will kill not only himself, but likely harm many others as well. And don't ignore him, because he'll probably get drunk again tomorrow and want the keys again. Go, take him to get help, now, while you can.

There are people whose entire life's work is to help people in need like this. Let them help you.

oh.. I should also mention that we don't expect it to replace all the other audio systems and languages that are already established and have large user-bases. (At least not overnight ;) )

..but we are attempting to do something that nobody else is, which is to provide a platform they can use as a target.

If we can do the hard work and graft of turning this into a super-portable runtime that can target whatever low-latency hardware the user has (and create a market for new audio accelerators that don't yet exist), then we expect it to be attractive for all those existing frameworks to use SOUL (or our IR) as the thing they emit, rather than using LLVM's JIT or WASM or just interpreters as they do now.

>> They followed Boeing's checklist in one of the two, and still crashed.

They did not follow it completely, the last item is to leave the cutout switches in cutout, which they did not.

They cut the electric trim back in and inexplicably did not correct the trim or further manage it. I suspect that Crew Resource Management was not effective at that point and both pilots were distracted.

>Suicide causes long-term emotional pain for your family and friends.

I have been in long-term emotional pain, and likely will be for the rest of my life. Yes, I do not want to cause others to feel pain - but why should I continue to deal with crushing pain just to spare others from pain that will likely pass?

>Do you want people who don't know you and know hardly anything about your pain to engage in discussion with you?

I don't see how that makes a difference.

When I do speak to people in my life, it's not like it's helpful in any way. They just seem worried and concerned. That's touching, sure, but does not actually help.

If anything, people often say to speak to a therapist - someone who doesn't know you.

>I don't want you or anyone to commit suicide

Why?
>Agreed - in particular because PIV doesn’t prevent other apps subsequently using the device as gpg-agent does (necessitating unplugging and replacing it in the USB port).

I believe this is no longer the case? At least with current GPGTools on macOS, I leave a Yubikey Nano in one of my USB ports and use it for both GPG and U2F without issue.

> It does a surprisingly good job of predicting protein function across a diverse set of tasks, including ones structural in nature, like the induction of a single neuron that is able, with some degree of accuracy (ρ = 0.33) to distinguish between α helices and β strands (I suspect the network as a whole is far more performant at this task than the single neuron we’ve identified, but we didn’t push this aspect of the analysis as the problem is well tackled using specialized approaches.)

I hate to be that guy, but distinguishing between alpha helices and beta strands is not really that hard.

It's a good start though. I would propose the following test: Let's see if we can use the activations from the neurons to predict the luminosity of a 'base' GFP molecule (under a fixed set of experimental conditions). Train the set on 10,000 mutations (this could maybe be done in very high throughput by tethering the XNA to a bead, synthesizing, and then measuring the beads one by one), and see if can extrapolate the effects of 10k more, or heck, just by doing it brute-forcedly, we've got high throughput robots, right?
Young women are the group that has lowest risk for death by suicide, although much higher risk for self harm.

Young people in general have lower risk of death by suicide, and any increase in this age group is worrying.

These are mostly preventable deaths. The reward - a not very good tv show - doesn't in my mind justify the risk - more young people dying preventable deaths.
It would be neat to run this with a few more rules, on a larger world, and for a longer time to see what emerges!

Language learning courses and tools are just ways to kickstart normal language acquisition, so you don't have to go through the years of gurgling like a baby has to. Learning to communicate in a new language isn't exactly like learning some other kind of skill--it's much, much huger.

When you're speaking your native language, you're decoding and processing complex social signals in real time at multiple levels of structure (phonological, morphological, syntactic, semantic, pragmatic). Even the best AIs can only get a couple of these levels of structure, with significant error rates, and only in a handful of well-studied languages (there are hundreds or thousands of natural languages). How much time does it take for you to learn 1000 vocabulary words? A natural language will have tens of thousands. A comprehensive grammar of the English language would be dozens of heady volumes and have less information about English grammar than any competent native speaker.

Learning a language is just an astonishingly huge task. No course or system can cover it all. Mostly they're just trying to make things easier for you.

> Original quartz watches are still working, are they not?

Barely, and replacement parts (and sometimes even appropriate batteries) can be extremely hard to source.

> Not having any moving parts

Electronics are brittle and do degrade over time. As I observe them, they last about 20 to 30 years realistically. Early mass produced commercial quartz watches are prized collector items, whereas mechanical watches from before the quartz revolution are easy to find in perfect working condition.
I personally employ a balance of both.
.... in which the Seattle Times discovers that grocery stores use items at or below cost to lure in buyers to purchase other things at the store.

12 packs of coke were often sold at a loss at grocery stores. I'm not sure what they cost now, but cost use to be in the $3.50 range in 2007. Costco was usually about a bit more than the cost but they were selling 24 can flats, so probably still turning a profit. In 2007 it wasn't uncommon to do 4/$10 deals and even 5/$10 deals occasionally around the super bowl. 3/$10 was the average sale if they wanted to try to boost sales. Other examples include family packs of NY Strip/Ribeye.
