The article discusses the argument that statistical machine learning is a resolution to the paradox - as it shows that an agent can learn something without being given explicit instruction. I think this is basically a sound argument, and I find Polanyi pretty unconvincing.

It's worth noting that a similar argument (albeit without a demonstration as concrete as modern ML) was actually advanced in the 1960s by Wilfrid Sellars. [0]

> There is all the difference in the world between knowing how to ride a bicycle and knowing that a steady pressure by the legs of a balanced person on the pedals would result in forward motion ...It can be argued that anything which can be properly called 'knowing how to do something' presupposes a body of knowledge that; or, to put it differently, knowledge of truth or facts. If this were so, then the statement that 'ducks know how to swim' would be as metaphorical as the statement that they know that water supports them.

As a data point, I underwent cancer treatment a few years ago in the US at Massachusetts Eye and Ear and there high-ish dose vitamin D (can't remember the actual dosage) was encouraged, though it wasn't part of the treatment they provided. The doctors and other staff all seemed to take it vitamin D as a preventative measure as well.

Let's take a step back. When I work somewhere, my job is much larger than 'deliver code'. It includes (and will show up on my Review) things like 'team building' and 'contributing to a non-hostile work environment'. It is everybody's job to make sure that their workplace is non-hostile. This is the cultural version of 'see something? Say something'. If you are in a workplace that makes that impossible, or retaliates against people who agitate for improvement, then that is a real problem.

TBH, the real problem here is people's different views on the Overton window. I suspect that is why you are getting such vigorous blowback on these topics; your window isn't aligned with at least some of the people on this thread.
It would also protect people making calls that could lead to accusations of racial profiling.

> But there's arguably a big difference between records that you have to go to some county clerk's office to access and possibly provide at least a cursory justification for doing so and being able to click a few keys on your computer and skim through records for the hell of it.

I think it's important to consider the context. Privacy is important, but in an environment where authorities happen to "disappear" records that might be used against them or could be used to hold them to account, and fight tooth and nail to prevent easy access to them as in the US (and are often able to weaponize the courts to prevent access), there's a case to be argued that there are clear benefits to keeping it public in a way where there are no barriers.

It's the web. It runs HTML, CSS and JS.

Why? Is there some first-principles thing here? What if Flash was open sourced, massively cleaned up, changed to be search friendly, and ended up with well curated app marketplaces and code signing? The language Flash used had a shared heritage with JS, and actually did a better job of providing "just works" write once, run everywhere.

Many Smalltalk variants had a practically bulletproof write once, run everywhere record of performance. What if properly code signed and sandboxed Smalltalk plugins had won? That could well have resulted in a more open web than what we ended up with.

Wanting to code your web app in anything else is... I don't know... petulant?

Why?

There are currently exactly zero Front End Developers who write usable web front ends in Go.

If the developer experience becomes a lot more like developing against a desktop UI framework, there are a ton of experienced older developers who could quickly jump in. It's not rocket science. Actually, in many ways, desktop development is easier than the web front end.

For that matter, why not build something which is 1-to-1 isomorphic with React? (EDIT: I see now, that's already sort of the direction they're going for!)

I'm not sure moving to a Go front end is wise for another few years.

Which I would interpret as a sign that it's the right time to jump in to be a pioneer!

Anonymous anecdotes aside, the scandalous news they report is that Consumer Reports puts Tesla's reliability in the bottom half -- yes, shock and consernation, the BOTTOM HALF!!! -- of all automobile manufactures.

Of course, 50% all automobile manufacturers are in the bottom half, and sure, it's not where you want to be. But none of the rest get special attention for being so.

Want proof? Do a search for the the following: CNBC consumer reports reliability rating.

What comes up? In order:

1. "Tesla Tanks": https://www.cnbc.com/2019/02/21/tesla-tanks-subaru-soars-in-...

2. "Tesla Slips": https://www.cnbc.com/2018/10/24/tesla-reliability-slips-to-t...

3. "Consumer reports yanks recommendation for Tesla": https://www.cnbc.com/2019/02/21/reuters-america-update-2-con...

4. "Tesla Falls": https://www.msn.com/en-us/money/companies/tesla-falls-after-...

..And so forth.

Note, however, that we didn't search for "Tesla". The spotlight given them is CNBC's bias. There's an entire automobile industry out there, and at any given time, half of it is in the lower half of reliability ratings. But only one is ever given headlines for it.

That's bias.

Well, BA119 took off about an hour late which should give the passengers more time at greater altitude to see the red moon from this evening's partial eclipse.
https://www.flightradar24.com/data/flights/ba119#214ec914

The discussions about the subjective nature of a solar eclipse vs the objective nature of a lunar eclipse are especially relevant if you find yourself in an aircraft travelling at 550mph, as no advantage will be given in terms of duration for this particular celestial event.

Compare to solar eclipses where strategically flown aircraft can extend totality by some margin: https://www.space.com/42768-total-solar-eclipse-july-2019-ai...
So I did try digging into this again a bit more. According to the community, TLS was not in use, and nor was SFTP. (There's some suggestions that it was the IIS FTP server, but I can't confirm it.)

As to logging, most FTP servers log the forwarded IP and not the connecting IP when you enable forwarding.

So yes, FTP may well be the point of entry.

I would not consider staying with Sparkpost after seeing these deceptive business practices. It definitely feels like a bait and switch when they promised this specifically as an alternative to Mandrill which did something similar.

One thing not mentioned in the original post is that Sparkpost is only giving 60 days notice, which as a small business owner, is a fairly tight timeline to find and implement an alternative.

It seems that we've basically just moved the recursion from one place to another.

Yes, the point is to move the recursion from the code into the data structures. These data structures can then be stored and retrieved conveniently. It's a technique for making micro eDSLs to solve common problems.

Having said that, it's a lot more applicable to some languages than others. Python, lacking algebraic data types and static typing, does not make it very convenient to use this technique.
Bingo, it seems people often don't consider that these reports could be false. There's a LOT of money in shorting stocks, especially Tesla stock. Because of this it's hard to go to any tech related news site and not see an article about them being slandered. There's constantly huge campaigns going on to FUD Tesla for profit. I'm not saying that everything negative about Tesla is false, but I am in no way going to believe that it's all true.

I think that might only help if fighting was on the scale of hours to single digit days (and at the extreme end of that, there might be long lasting repercussions).

That's of course assuming all the possible repercussions of being born and growing to adulthood in lower gravity that we don't yet currently know of have been accounted for and counteracted. I'm doubtful that training in higher gravity once an adult can negate the major negative effects of growing under lower gravity (which might include weaker bones), and so also doubt that a drug causing an even shorter term change can negate the negatives also.
There really is a difference, but the words "real" and "virtual" are not the correct characterization of that difference. Solar eclipses are every bit as real as lunar ones. "Global" and "local" are more appropriate adjectives to describe the difference.

You don't sound like a typical KA learner, from what I see from your post, so a more accurate answer would be to ask you: how motivated are you to re-learn math?

If you are 110% motivated, I think you will have to first read Morris Kline's "why the professor cannot teach" which is an attack on the way math is taught starting from late 50's, especially in the U.S or the West.

After that, you will know what to do next. Depending on your future choices, you could start with building a strong algebra foundation before going to other branches.

To do that, you could read Polya's "how to solve it" as a general motivator, but as your main book, college algebra by Bittinger (or was it Bettinger) is the best that I know so far.

Make sure it is the pre 90's edition.
Until recently Silicon Valley was very libertarian (and before that conservative due to high levels of defense contracting). It wasn't until ~2010 that things started becoming overtly left wing/democrat. I can't say that period has given us a lot of technological innovation compared to the previous period.

People buy new cars for dumb reasons, usually for nicer seats/better ac/speakers, and they in turn do away with their less shiny but usually still perfectly fine car. The car industry is rampant consumer culture at its worst, sustained by lessees insisting on new car smell.

I have on all my personal projects but I wouldn't bother with an existing project unless I had a specific need that PostgreSQL met (and MySQL did not).

I'm actually all in on PostgreSQL at this point -- I'm not bothering with trying to use vanilla SQL and worrying about switching databases but I have that luxury on my side projects. PostgreSQL has a lot of interesting features that I am happy to use and I frankly never really relied on using vanilla SQL in order to be database server agnostic anyway (not saying that doesn't have a place and maybe someone will reply with how it was absolutely essential for their X but...).

To be clear, I still am all for portable SQL queries but I no longer worry about relying on a feature only PostgreSQL offers and/or taking advantage of things it offers that are not part of the standard.
Calling it terrible is entirely unfair. It's perfectly usable since the fixes went in a couple of years ago. For most use cases there's no reason to buy an audio HAT any more. Perhaps the poster is using (very) old software?

Why? Webpack has gotten significantly easier to get up and running with since Webpack 4 (iirc).

Sure, it starts getting complicated if you want to add language features that haven't made it into browsers yet (i.e. Babel) or use something that transpiles to JavaScript (e.g. TypeScript), but the really popular ones have plenty of good documentation on how to set them up and what each piece is doing.

I've only had to set up Webpack a couple times and I've already internalized most of the important stuff.

Source Maps are still black magic to me though...
> actually did a better job of providing "just works" write once, run everywhere.

It did, for its time. But there's a tremendous amount of work done in scaling UIs between mobile and desktop viewports on the web that Flash could never easily achieve, and most native frameworks are still struggling with today.

> If the developer experience becomes a lot more like developing against a desktop UI framework

... then the mobile experience is crap, yeah.
Oh, I don't know if Thiel is or isn't. But the parent comment implied that he had Fascistic rhetoric. I don't really follow Thiel, so I can't confirm or deny if he's rhetoric is fascistic or not. If it were though, with his level of power and influence, it could be seen as a challenge to the US democracy.

Edit: After doing some quick research, there definitely seem to be evidence of support and active involvement in anti-democratic circles. Now to what extent I can't say. It is also unclear if it is intentional, as in, he could be accidentally promoting and contributing to those circles. But I found sections describing his beliefs that women suffrage was a mistake (because they tend to vote against his agenda), that monarchies aren't so bad and startups are a form of them, that democracy prevents libertarianism and are thus incompatible etc. Now, those could all be misquoted or out of context ofcourse. Even then though, he seems pretty open about the fact that he is not in agreement with the current democratic system and wishes to change it. It all feels a bit my way or the highway. Like since he hasn't been able to have people democratically agree with him and pass the laws and rules which he believes in, he started to look for other alternative means in order to achieve putting those laws and rules in place, which are anti-democratic and tend towards forceful.

This is sad to read. I understand the will to protect the privacy of the people calling in, but wouldn't the public interest prevail in some cases?

What I mean by that is, when weighing between keeping 911 records sealed for the sake of privacy; against releasing them to the public for the sake of public service (for example for performance review, reconstruction of the chain of events ...), shouldn't the public's interest prevail (as in many versus one)?
