I did not say neither is true, I said neither can claim to be true. The logic here is perfectly sound:

If there was only one possible reading of the facts then that reading could be considered the truth. If there are two equally reasonable readings neither can be deemed to be the truth, and further investigation is required to clarify the matter.

See, the above is what I’m talking about. You’re making excuses to keep yourself miserable. Just ask your employer for an external keyboard. Or get one yourself. It’s no more offensive than buying aftermarket parts for a car.

It clearly is completely acceptable for Apple to act this way, because millions of MacBook Pros are sold and most are fine with them.

Ps. Please tell me more about now external keyboards are uncomfortable. They’re how everyone not on a laptop types, and usually the main example of good keyboards. I would be willing to contribute to an external keyboard gofundme to help resolve your misery.
A Large-Scale Empirical Study of Geotagging Behavior on Twitter
Of course some kids are manipulative, going for shock value, continuing an "in-joke", or just plain trolling. But would a teacher just look the other way, or would they talk to the kid? What would you want for your kids? This is why teachers assigning homework like "what do you want your teacher to know about you" and then not even seeing it is dehumanizing.
"X browser is killing support for Y format"

Well, good. Now we can go back to when browsers handed files off to helper apps that supported the formats in question. I'm all for it.
This whole time I thought 2 was just a terrible bug. It was one of the reasons I switched to android.
I've seen that comparison a few times, and I feel it's a little misleading.

Paris is only twice as densely populated as NYC by virtue of it having an administrative definition that captures primarily the most-densely populated core of the metropolitan area.

e.g. the borough of Manhattan has 30% higher population density than Paris and is about 60% of the size.

However, because the boundary of the city includes relatively sparsely populated boroughs like Staten Island and Queens (the land area of which contains not one but two major airports), the average density is much lower.
Well of course, some file carving is what has gotten me out of a few messes in the past, including the one mentioned. But in a situation where a volume won't mount/read, it's nice to eliminate a poor implementation or FUSE issue as a potential variable in determining if there's actually a problem. (Or worse, introducing a new problem... I've seen that, too, especially in earlier days of exfat-fuse/exfat-utils.)
> why shadows have fuzzy edges

? Shadows have fuzzy edges in geometric optics as well (unless you're mentioning usually micrometer-scale diffraction effects). It's because illuminators are not point-like, so when viewed near an edge your light source progresses in size until it disappears (penumbra to umbra)

Pragmatically, this is a question of enforcement.

Federal LEOs shall not compel state LEOs to enforce federal law. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Posse_Comitatus_Act and the 10th Amendment for why, but this fact has very long precedent.

So if nice Mr DEA man goes to the state police and say "help me bust these grow operations", the head of the state police says "go piss up a rope, those are tax-paying law abiding citizens who are breaking no law I have the responsibility to enforce."

And this is called state's rights.

Rhetorically I am well within the realm of sanity to describe purchasing weed at the dispensary down the street as legal. Feel free to insert the implicit footnoted "persuant to the laws of the state of oregon" in your head, if you like, for completeness.

The question is whether your input is really blurry or the brain just doesn’t decode it right. A few months ago I remember reading about a method to improve eyesight by looking at things and retraining the brain. I don’t remember the details but it really worked for the author. The only problem was it was extremely boring, tedious and consumed several hours a day. But it worked. Wish I could find that article again.
You really misread that if you thought I was punching down. I was pointing out the absurdity of having to even grade such a thing.
Yeah! Thank you.
> but claims that AI bias is somehow worse than good old human bias always seem shoddily supported

Well, AI bias can combine sampling bias with human bias. Like say we train the AI with the output of only 10 human paper graders, all chosen from the same school district.

Due to the sampling bias, that data could create markedly more (or less!) bias than the entire population of human paper-graders.

The resulting AI will ideally mimic those 10 humans, though; it shouldn't show more bias than that group. If those 10 are flaring racists, and grade accordingly, the AI will be the same. (In fact, we hope that it will be the same, if the algorithm actually works in mimicking human grading.)
So what you are saying is that one could claim to be true based on future investigation. In actual fact you are saying that you do not know which is true based on the limited information presented, not that neither can claim to be true.

In fact, one could be true based on enough evidence. Your claim of reasonableness is a red herring - it could be that one interpretation may seem reasonable but on further investigation it is not.

I’m merely pointing out you don’t know which proposition is true, not that neither can claim to be true. In fact, if one happens to be true then it can claim to be true, and will actually be true. That’s an important distinction.
Schizophrenia is an imbalance in the polyphony of minds occupying our heads. Our minds and bodies take training to pilot properly. If we want to have agency, we need to be methodical and purposeful in what we do and don't vastly surpass our current limits. You can't go squat 400 lbs w/o training. The same goes for mind altering substances.

So, because you get paid to develop malware traps, we're supposed to like the kiddie pool that can literally get you arrested for next to nothing (freedom of speech), with script kiddies and ideologues dominating the media platforms that idiots _shouldn't_ be able to use in the first place. That's one reason for societies ills -- we've stamped out natural selection.
I'm a YNAB user and I just spent some time playing around with LunchMoney. A few quick feedback items from 10 minutes of use:

--Let me add new categories from the transaction screen. I don't think your default categories are comprehensive enough and I had to add a lot, and it is a pain going back and forth between the two screens.

--More default categories that make sense: rent, cell phone, internet, medical, software subscriptions.

--If I go back 3 months and categorize an old transaction, apply that category to all other matching transactions. I don't want to through every single old transaction and categorize. Alternatively you could use the YNAB method and not even pull in old transactions (or maybe just go back 1 week or something). It feels overwhelming to log in and see data that is wrong due to miscategorizations and then realize I need to back through hundreds of old transactions and fix the category.

Overall I think you have a great product! I am definitely interested in continuing to use it, I like the UI and it feels so much faster and more responsive than YNAB (their ui is extremely slow). With any of these tools there is always time/cost associated with a user's onboarding and making that as seamless as possible will get people hooked and make switching costs high.

Good luck!
Agreed. Bad actors will exploit the non tech savvy users.
>I used to love that car. It’s the first nice car I’ve owned (in Denmark, there was a 225% tax (VAT included) on cars last I bought one, so most people get the smallest, crappiest car that can work for their needs).

What is the reason for these extreme car taxes? as an Australian, I expect if the government here tried to introduce/enforce these sorts of taxes (per [1]) there would be riots and possibly worse - we have a very strong car culture. It would be political suicide to even announce you were considering it.

I see some reference to "green" fees and C02 emissions taxes, but those are in the context of fuel being purchased. Surely this cannot also account for the taxes on the purchase price of the car?

Marquee Custom Element, with Web Animations API
All good and sorry, maybe my initial comment was still offending.

However and what I meant is that your writing style, also looking in the comments here, is for my taste a bit too fluffy, elaborative, zealous and making it hard for the reader to grasp the essence of your statements quickly. If you can’t win people with words your lib won’t have the chance get tried.

While I like new takes in frontend, the overall wording was the reason not to read more about Connective but rather leave a snarky comment.
TypeScript is a beautiful thing.

The next level things that powered me up are:

- relay + graphql : map queries/mutations and object types to typescript. I have a workflow at the moment where python + graphene typings "bubble up" to typescript types via schema.graphql

- React.FC + hooks : makes it that much easier to grok a component in a large codebase.

- prettier : automatic code formatting on save, configuration works project-wide so all team members commit organized code

- DefinitelyTyped being reliable when it comes to releasing packages has helped a lot

I don't even use the autocompletion / go to definition that editors also usually bundle, but it's there, especially with VSCode. When the pieces don't fit, tslint catches it initially, if not that tsc.

Also, despite only using TS less than a year, the typing errors have been getting more friendly in the past few TS releases.
It’s not unreliability for a majority, though. That would imply over 50% of laptops have required repairs, which is a ludicrous number. There is literally no evidence of that.

A vocal minority, yes. That can’t seem to accept that it is a minority.
> If you're using assertions to indicate "I believe this should never happen" instead of a general error reporting tool, it can be very nice to make them test failures when fuzzing.

I used to work for a company that used asserts as general error checking and it was awful. It was for embedded firmware, and I always ran tests (including security tests) with debug firmware. Non-debug firmware had asserts disabled. On debug firmware, a failed assert would cause a complete crash with the display showing the source code file and line number of the failed assert.

Some developers were using asserts on simple user input. For example, this firmware had a web server with a REST API. One of the APIs would expect a number as a parameter, and the person doing development added an assert() statement to make sure the API received a number and not letters or other characters.

It made security testing a nightmare and most of the assertion failures I ran into were completely pointless.
Google Says Malicious Websites Have Been Quietly Hacking iPhones for Years
About the ten millionth time that someone had a security breach from exposing s3 buckets aws decided to look into if maybe something in their UX was bad instead of blaming the user every time.

‘User error’ is rarely a sufficient explanation for why something negative happens, particular when those users are professionals using a professional product. At some point one needs look at whether there is something in the product that causes those errors to happen or that doesn’t do enough to prevent them.
This sounds like management doesn't know their jobs. Context switching is very expensive and they are effectively slowing down all projects. It would be better to just split the developers between the projects and then come up with a more realistic timeline. If that is not acceptable, then cut down on the features to the bone. If still unhappy, well...

This indicated a group making a sustained effort to hack the users of iPhones in certain communities over a period of at least two years."
For the not eating, it's pretty easy to get data. It's like 1 in 5 children live in food-insecure households in the US and maybe 1 in 20 of those very insecure, so not eating before school provided lunch is common enough that if you're grading tons of papers you'll run into kids like that.
See, here we go again, more sneering. I have been using keyboards for 35 years and type 100+ wpm with my MacBook Pro.

I have lost the ability to hear people in bars, or the 200sqft tile room where the elevators are at work, or when people are holding multiple conversations in a conference room.

I'm fortunate that I was able to identify the problem and prevent it from getting worse. It's amazing how just a small amount of missing information has effectively broken the "noise canceling and directional isolation" "software" of my brain.

Both things are true: it's probably the user's fault, and it should be made more foolproof.
Looks nice, and I really like how straightforward it is to create and work with subtasks.

I'm immediately seeing two pain points, though:

1. A lot of the text fields seem to have a nasty habit of jumping the cursor back to the beginning of the text, thus causing me to accidentally enter things "islike th". This is a sure sign that y'all are probably overthinking/overengineering the text inputs :) Also, not having a visual indicator of whether or not a text field actually saved is absurdly annoying, especially when the text I enter doesn't get saved when I close a given screen...

2. Just because I'm entering something as a work item doesn't mean I'm actually the requestor of that item. Being entirely unable to change the requestor to something arbitrary eradicates one of my prospective use cases for this. I'd assume that if there were multiple users setup in Zepel I'd be able to choose them, but I don't want to have to setup end-users with Zepel logins just so that I can track who's bugging me about a particular feature or bug.

Looks promising, though. Certainly a lot more intuitive than JIRA.
That's not what the article is saying, at all. There ARE general differences in style and word choice between minority groups or women and the average white male in writing. The corpus of training examples used in making this AI grader are at least biased towards the average white male. When the AI grades an essay harshly, it is not saying "this essay by a black woman is bad writing", it is saying "this essay differes from my training set by an aggregate score of ____", then sorts those results and (maybe) applies a curve.

An essay could be different from the reference standard because the standard is an example of good writing and the essay is not. Or it can be different because the author has a cultural, regional, gender, or developed background that imparts a different style than anything in the training corpus. Mistaking the two is very, very bad.

Blowhard appropriation of the concept of avoiding being tightly coupled. Of course we cannot avoid coupling; the point is to make coupling as loose as possible.
It's broken thinking to assume something is safe on the basis of a lack of proof otherwise. We have a pretty substantial body of research exonerating cannabis of a lot of the harms other drugs of abuse can bring. Literally no-one ever has died of a cannabis overdose, that we know of. We know it's safe that way.

There is of course a risk with any mind-altering substance that it might trigger a latent or occult mental illness. Those odds go up, sometimes significantly, with more powerful substances, and even more so when the user has any genetic predisposition towards those conditions. There's also a risk of having a difficult or traumatic experience, which can likewise increase with dose or different substances. That said, those of us who work with these substances intentionally often find that those experiences can be where the really transformative stuff happens.
Of course you (and I!) do - we are HN readers. While I think there’s a change afoot in the direction of not minding ordering or receiving goods without the help of a human, there’s still a large swath of the population who wants a consultation and help when they are shelling out money. I also don’t think it’s entirely generational.
long-term "depression" (LTD) is an activity-dependent reduction in the efficacy of neuronal synapses
I've heard stories from others in the industry of companies using tools like this on their human-facing documentation and requiring a certain score from them. Imagine using Microsoft Word's spelling and grammar checker, not being able to add or override its decisions (without following an extremely lengthy and bureaucratic process), and being required to have less than X "defects" per 100 words. Naturally, this results in documentation that is perfectly grammatical and free of spelling errors, but verbose, full of unusual phrasing, and next to useless for its actual purpose of informing a human.

Grading students' code using a machine is not such a bad idea in contrast, because in that case there is [1] no exceptions possible in a programming language, [2] the machine (compiler) has to understand it anyway, and [3] it does save time verifying correctness. But communication in a human language really needs to be assessed by humans. Anyone who thinks "AI" can accurately assess human language is either severely delusional, or trying to make $$$ from it.

If you have (several) high resolution photos and good enough angles, you can do a 3D reconstruction of the person. There are several projects on Github, which might or might not use AI, and that have different approaches to the problem. OpenMVG is probably the biggest, developed by the friendly French guy Pierre Moulon at IRIS.

You should specifically look into Structure from Motion if you are using photos and not videos, because certain algorithms need time consistency between the images.

I think you have misunderstood the parent, who is asserting that the machines scoring these essays typically give lower scores to members of these demographics. This does not, by itself, mean the entire system is biased against those groups.

Whether or not the groups are, overall, systematically benefitted or harmed is not relevant to the injustice this article says exists.
