Nicotine's method of action for addiction isn't commonly understood very well. It's extremely specific - nicotine works to make the things you do around the exposure more habitual. If it's slapping on a nicotine patch and going on a run, you're more likely to get into a habit of slapping on a patch and going on a run. If it's taking a break outside and puffing from a vaporizer, then it's simply taking a break and puffing from a vaporizer.

That's largely why e-cigs are the most successful way to quit smoking tobacco products - it's the most similar habit to smoking cigarettes, so it slots into the existing highly-reinforced habits that smokers have. You drop a bunch of the random other chemicals that are present in cigarettes, and wind up reinforcing the replacement habit before dropping dosages and having a regular habit that's as easy to quit as, say, biting your fingernails.

My child is tongue tied, lip tied, and my wife has inverted nipples. Nipple shields are past just being a comfort thing, which is useful on its own, to being the starting point to even attempting anything. Even with those there things, the specialists in the hospital were aggressive pushing against using shields and kept saying we'd regret using them. It's like they were disinterested in my my baby even eating if it didn't fit an aesthetic ideal if what breastfeeding should be.

As a board-certified specialist physician engaged in research, and now starting to teach others how to engage in research, I predict that the road out of this is going to be very long and hard. As research has lost support (not just financial, but cultural), it has become increasingly difficult to justify to department chairs. In the course of the last 8 years I was kicked off my own project twice while in training.

So, what I predict you will see, is it will become progressively harder for a hopeful young researcher to make the transition, not to research, but to adding research to their already full-time+ job. It is quite likely you will be in a department where no one has research experience and few contacts with academics. And if you're doing research and there's even a hint of a perception that it could interfere with any element of your clinical duties, you can bet there are people who will be happy to burn you and your research.

The most supportive stance I got from anyone in my department during training "Don't talk to any of us about it." That was my PI and program director.

So, the current status quo is "Toil, in addition to your other, formidable responsibilities. Don't ask for anything. Don't ever talk about it, don't even mutter under your breath." That does not align very well with the open-mindedness of research.

On the flip side, if you are a PhD, the current state of medical practice in the US is such that many medical centers are ripe for research if you can cultivate a relationship with an MD. I know, I know the perception, which I have been told directly by a biochemist who didn't know I was an MD "MDs aren't knuckle-dragging idiots." But maybe, just maybe, make a friend and see where it takes you. Which may be hard. You will probably have to go to tumor boards and grand rounds and suffer through a bunch of people kibitzing about things you know are 20 years behind the state of the art. Yep, that's true. But the entrances to the mines collapsed. You will have to do the hard work of opening your own shaft. And so it goes.
>If you consume more than you produce, you're creating a debt. Sooner or later this debt should be paid.

Few things: firstly, trade imbalance is not debt. That is a gross oversimplification of the macroeconomy.

Secondly: debt repayment doesn't even guaranteed with personal debt (bankruptcy, for example, discharges personal debt). The state has mechanisms for discharging debt available to it that personal debtors do not have.
That just sounds like a band-aid solution, what is needed are walkable cities, and decent public transportation.
You could do a taper basically.
This was common and well known even in the mid 90's with the TI-82. So much so that when my high school calculus class mostly bombed a test, the instructor asked us how we could have possibly failed his test when we were all using "notes" on our calculator.
You're pretty close, though in this case it's apparently the RAM controller inside the CPU itself. This failure mode is incredibly rare but it just happened to hit this one system, unfortunately.
> Using managed services leads to writing less code and minimizing devops work, both resulting in more time for feature development that takes less time overall and produces higher quality service (latency, availability, etc).

Well, not necessarily? This assumes that the implementation is sound but it is not at all uncommon for abstractions to leak which end up causing more pain than they solve
On the SAT you can use programs and notes (obviously you are not supposed to share test content, but there is no specific prohibited on the notes feature. I think the ACT says you are not supposed to somewhere in the instructions but they do not clear the calculators. Only time I've had them clear the calculators was for some state-mandated EOGs that you could do with your eyes closed.

And it can't be that hard to build a modified logic board that includes an LTE modem or WiFi chip and fits inside the case of a TI-84. If you're just going to copy the answers you wouldn't even need to bother cloning all the math features, just the very basics. The test proctors barely glance at the calculators as they hand out the test books, no one would notice minor changes in the look of the screen or case.

What's a classical computer, if not silicon arranged into a random series of gates?

I'm not sure how to evaluate the question of whether it could do the Fizz Buzz algorithm. Could it run fizzbuzz.c? No, it doesn't have an OS. Could it perform a sequence of operations isomorphic to "count to 100 by 3s and 5s"? It sounds like Aaronson's answer would be yes, but I think you'll be skeptical (and I am too) about whether that really means anything.
I have two essential books:

When kids get older (toddler and up) this book is very evidence based, and is very helpful for dealing with relationship conflicts.
That was how I justified it to myself when I did this and ran a fake memory cleared / program hiding program on my 83. Sorry not sorry.
Once you factor in the learning time for AWS per a developer the cost is even higher.

At my previous company we had project with an AWS deploy process that only two developers could confidently use. Teaching a new developer & keeping them up to date was a big time sink.

For comparison we had a Rails app setup on heroku that on day one junior devs were happily deploying to (plus we had Review apps for each PR!)

"[T]hose believing that a QC can manipulate or maintain huge objects "free of cost" (i.e., at unit cost) should provide a convincing explanation to this fantastic speculation.

1. A camera can't shoot you--seeing as this thread is about cameras in US cities, and police brutality is an issue here, I don't want a bunch of power-hungry cops with a license to murder on every corner of every US city. That sounds both insanely wasteful and also dangerous.

2. I really don't understand how having a cop on the street corner is any better than the "Orwellian" camera. In both cases, you're being watched, but one case comes with the added benefit that the watcher has a loaded gun.

3. The power imbalance is worse with a cop than a camera. With footage, you might be able to subpoena the footage. With a cop testifying against you, it's their word against yours and cops are almost always trusted more than the people they arrest/accuse.

How the hell did Kotlin end up on the non functional list, and Scala did?

Kotlin code tends to be at least as functional as Scala is.

If Kotlin isn't functional, then Scala isn't, and if Scala is functional, then Kotlin most certainly is.

I have a strong bias towards the first school, the point being that opaque calculation are simply harder to reason about.

I also agree that handling complex computations is a relevant skill, but then what you need to learn is the mental book keeping of where you are and what you need to do that you need to learn.

The only case where calculators are truly useful is in sciences, where numbers are just a tool to scientific insight.

(moreover in math if you need trigonometric tables chances are that you are going to learn better math by keeping symbolic answers)
Having a 19-year old investor/employee at a tobacco company isn't illegal. Not really sure what the prosecutors could glean from this in terms of hard evidence of a crime.
I strongly prefer they keep the bias. It shows plainly that these models have zero intelligence, they're just pattern matching over specific datasets.

I don't want the appearance of fairness (introduced by human dataset curation) to be mistaken for "intelligence".

Keeping the bias would hopefully cause people to think more critically about why such bias exists in the model in the first place.

Right, but it doesn't necessarily mean that it is possible to have such system here. World also abounds with countries building cheap rail, but when we attempt this, it's very expensive. Just because it can be done, doesn't mean that it will end up happening the way you wish it to happen.

I think it would be worthwhile to have a pilot program of it here, say with a single small state introducing it. It could show us how it would end up working in practice.

This is not accurate, one person is not fronting the support load. However, you are correct in that Raptor is not intending to provide inferior product -- in fact we take any reports of issues very seriously, preferring to determine a root cause and fix it instead of just swapping parts to make it go away.
I had an older (2013 or 14) Lenovo TS140 sitting around that I recently installed Mojave on. It took a little bit of experimentation to work out the kinks, but I've got it working almost flawlessly with a NVME drive in a PCIE adapter, 32GB RAM, and a Broadcom wifi card to enable Airdrop/continuity/handoff. Not bad for an older machine and less than $250 in

The only thing I haven't been able to solve/fix is I can't use software that depends on WiBu Codemeter[1] - some sort of piracy prevention. This includes stuff like newer versions of Antares AutoTune, and other audio production software. WiBu installs a third-party kext, which doesn't play well with my audio interface for some reason (RME, also installs a third-party kext) - causes a lot of pops and clicks or dropouts until I uninstall WiBU. If anyone has any suggestions on workaround for this, please respond here!

PS: after losing my system too many times in the past, now I keep a mirror image backup of all my systems in case I break something... Esp. with hackintosh it is just too easy to lose a system.

It's programmable in the same way an FPGA where you can specify how gates are connected is.

Note that the "random series of gates" is generated on a classical computer, and then the quantum processor is set to that configuration. It's not that you turn on the quantum processor and whatever random uninitialized state is it in.
I'm confident that's true but looking into the future, I can't imagine the trend is going to be more people in automated facilities making more money. This is a transient state. The future is basically full automation in manufacturing facilities with zero humans. We need to design society around that instead of pining for the good old days of banging away at metal with a hammer for money.

This is the second cautionary piece about generic drugs I’ve read in the past two days. The first was from last week’s Economist [1] and made a different point. It argued that generic drugs are such a viciously competitive market that the surviving manufacturers are those that cut the most corners. Corners cut range from outright fraud (as mentioned in this topic) to manufacture that is both highly consolidated and prone to just-rare-enough breakdowns that — because more reliable competitors have been priced out of the generics market — lead to sudden drastic shortages and the attendant problems for consumers.

Zooming out a bit, it looks like a specific example of a wider trend of supply chains that are long and efficient until their fragility becomes clear thanks to a well-timed and well-placed break.

I wonder what other specific products have a dysfunctional market like this?

Unfortunately, net positive feedback loops for climate are clearly evident in the geological record. A great presentation of the evidence is in Hansen's Storms of My Grandchildren.

He also says it's basically impossible for the Earth to reach a Venus-like state. But we could easily get runaway warming sufficient to add several extra degrees.
It is impossible to control the actions of other people. What they will or will not do should play little role in your own moral determinations. At the end of the day, anything done in business is only done for money. If you do something which you believe to be immoral, being able to say "but I got paid" will not help. If others step in and do it instead, they bear the moral consequence rather than you.
i also wonder what the real motive is. just expanding surveillance tech? ceo of this company pals with govt officials?
That's not why most young people prefer texting. They prefer it for a variety of other reasons:

* More private. Mom and dad can't snoop as easily, especially if you're in the backseat of their car

* Asynchronous. You can answer it when it is convenient and not have to stop what you're doing.

Not only is it unattainable, it's actively counterproductive to try and achieve because of unexamined and unintended consequences.
Bias: prejudice in favor of or against one thing, person, or group compared with another, usually in a way considered to be unfair.

If a data set is flawed, it should be fixed, but when ML finds objective patterns our culture finds subjectively unpalatable and we choose to "fix" them, we fall prey to and re-enact the same grade of self-delusion exhibited by, for example, "the church" in the dark ages. Computer science is already low in terms of accountability & rigor compared to other fields without these kinds of suggestions.
But; are those really the people you WANT to catch as a matter of priority? What is our goal - sheer income, or safety? :-/

In my mind, I'd rather people check their phone at a stopped traffic light, going 0kph; then while driving at 100kph or turning etc...

Ultimately tickets should have a purpose - prevent the most atrocious behaviour we see.

There's a poorly marked off-ramp from a major freeway in Toronto; and after off-ramp it's still a divided highway that basically looks like freeway. Cops are constantly staking out this exit because they know they'll get tickets - but what are you teaching? Most of these people were honestly trying to do the relatively right thing. There's no lesson or behaviour modification, just income.
(if you want to modify behaviour at that particular offramp, add signing and/or lights etc).

Understanding that it's against the law in most places (because technically you are "operating a motor vehicle", I honestly don't have a problem with people glancing at their phone on a red traffic light. Others, I suppose, may vehemently disagree.

How portable are Crystal binaries? Or more generally, how easy is it to share a Crystal program with someone who isn't a Crystal user? E.g.

> Each synset is classified as either “unsafe” (offensive regardless of context), “sensitive” (offensive depending on context), or “safe”. “Unsafe” synsets are inherently offensive, such as those with profanity, those that correspond to racial or gender slurs, or those that correspond to negative characterizations of people (for example, racist). “Sensitive” synsets are not inherently offensive, but they may cause offense when applied inappropriately, such as the classification of people based on sexual orientation and religion.

In NLP (specifically vectorizing words, ala word2vec) there's a famous test of whether or not your training has worked properly whereby you calculate the vector of "king" and subtract the vector of "man" and add the vector of "woman," if your machine is properly tuned, you should end up with a vector close to "queen" or "princess."

I wonder if similar things can be done to address specific (i.e. racial or gender) biases in computer vision.
