> But medical research assumes that first hand experience can be deceiving, because of placebo effect.

Well pointed out, it is. And for "general public" kind of advice, scientific processes absolutely help and are necessary to get to the right conclusions. The thing is, when someone else benefits from you eating sugar, journalistic pieces that put try to put people on the wrong foot (like these) will come out. Probably papers sponsored by sugar industry as well.

So why not go for your own experience? Like blunte mentions, many people experience the same kind of positive effects - isn't that science after all? And even if it's all just one big placebo and there ultimately is no negative effect of eating loads of sugar, whats the problem? People feel better :)

My answer was merely to explain the judge's actions, and was not intended as a comment on whether this particular sentence is just. If the judge believes the initial jail term was a fair punishment, then if he were to add a fine, he'd have to reduce the jail term, for the punishment to remain fair in his eyes.

> - what was the difference between LiMux and the Microsoft direction

Unfortunately I left Limux years before that shit happened so I cannot answer that question directly - I'll try with general politics instead. It was a political decision IMO - politicians were fed up with Limux shortcomings (which was caused mainly by their inability to provide users with decent hardware), that got combined with the decision of MS to move its Europe headquarters and thus a lot of prestige and tax money to Munich. Basically a "quid pro quo" deal, the politicians knew what was expected (getting rid of the flagship Linux government project) for this. Old government head and Limux fan Christian Ude went out to retirement, his successor Reiter... well, my opinion about that dude is beyond what is acceptable under HN guidelines. I'm happy he's at least done what he could against our local neo-nazis, but everything else... thanks but no thanks.

> - how much more would be needed to fix LiMux problems

A shitload of money. Limux was 15k desktops (for ~30k employees) IIRC, which means replacing all of them at ~1k € (new PC, monitor, mouse and keyboard - believe me, everything needed upgrades) or 15 million € alone for the hardware, plus upgrading alll the government building networks (probably 500 buildings, of which alone 300 are schools) and uplinks which will rack into three-digit million sums... and for staff, instead of the ~8 people working on Limux proper maybe 30-50 developers alone, which means another 1.5M a year at least in staffing costs.

The fact that Plato and Lao Tzu articulated that the noumenon is fundamentally unknowable does not make the fact that evolution results in processes which actively obscure raw data about the world uninteresting; it could theoretically be the case that evolution tended towards more accurate data over time in all processes while still being the case that base reality is unknowable. I think it's been obvious that this isn't the case for some time now; if you couldn't figure it out from the basic principles of evolution, it should have been obvious in light of chronostasis illusions that hack our perception of casaulity into hearing a sound before we press the button which triggers that sound by first conditioning us to expect the sound to come after an artificial delay and then removing that delay. But this doesn't make the modelling done by the researcher something done out of ignorance, I would assume the researcher is probably familiar with that line of prior work and is creating models that help us better understand the process. I do feel like the article is misleading, and the first two sentences are phrased as if the two views presented (accurate data v.s. inaccurate data) are opposed to one another rather than working together towards the same end (survival/procreation).

Interestingly, this correlates well with what is happening in the ad-tech world.

Specifically in performance marketing spend, 15% of the budget is very often allocated to "new initiatives & new partners", with the thought process that it'll either allow to find a previously un-identified improvement, or it'll allow to learn what to avoid in the future on the 85% of spend.

Eh, I'm not so sure. I spent more effort than I should have to find an example of this working and I'm not impressed [0]. Everything about it seems worse than browsers' reader mode for accessibility. It's also very slow, but I'll let that skate since it's probably just the polyfill[1].

I don't get the appeal. This isn't anything like a book, since I'm still scrolling, squinting, and reading words from a backlit screen instead of a physical page. Not to mention, using the browser's zoom functionality just straight up doesn't work (the pages and text stay the same size). So much for accessibility?

I really dislike everything about this.

When IBM introduced the AP (attached processor) and MP (multi-processor) systems, they had to add instructions that were guaranteed to be atomic since both processors had uniform access to main memory. Interestingly enough, they only added two instructions (compare and swap, compare double and swap) to support these configurations.

(I think there might have been one or two other supervisor mode-instructions, but there were weirdos like "stop the other processor", for example).

It depends on how much you have to win or lose.

If you win practically nothing by telling the truth, saying nothing is better.

If saying nothing means that people will treat you or others unfairly, then I would say that being mean and right is better than saying nothing. The problem with this is that one can never really know when one is right.

This is just my ethical judgement though, not a practical guide to convince people. Maybe being mean is never convenient, or maybe it's convenient but unethical(?).

The reason why I get fatigued when people bring up race and try to make sweeping national changes is that I see it as counterproductive.

Until we stop dividing people into classes based on race these problems are going to persist. Efforts that set out to bring about "racial justice" actually compound the problem by reinforcing the idea that these artificial divisions have any meaning at all. The goal should not be a racially equal country, the goal should be a country where people don't think about race any more.

By all means, let's work to lift the poor out of poverty and bring justice to the prison system. But let's do it because they are poor and because it is right, not because of the color of their skin.

A decision not to release a feature (AirDrop) on older machines, is taken as an example of Planned Obsolescence.

Sorry, that's not what planned obsolescence means.

The machine wasn't made to be less capable over time for what it was originally sold for. Features (software or hardware) weren't decided to suddenly break.

It would just not get some new features in future OS even if it could (which is debatable). It might could (according to the dev) but give a subpar experience, or eat into the battery, etc. One can say "that should be for the user to decide" but that's not how Apple works, nor has ever been part of their value proposition. Their value proposition is "we think of most of those things for you". In the end, even if the older machines could support the feature just fine, not releasing it for them is standard practice to entice people to a new model, and has nothing to do with "planned obsolescence".

If anything Apple has a great track record on both:

1) Getting new iOS releases to older machines. Most Android vendors were horrible at that, abandoning machines even at the first release after being sold.

2) Having machines (including iPhones) keep their resale value high. That's the opposite of planned obsolescence.

You may be interested in TerraFirmaCraft (https://terrafirmacraft.com/f/info), then. It's a Minecraft mod that tries to increase the realism of the game, I don't know if there are avalanches or tree rolling mechanisms, yet the mining system is greatly changed to include cave ins and other structural changes.

"TFC has thrown out Vanilla generation and started on a fresh slate. Sea-level has been raised to twice the height to accommodate 3 separate, varying layers of stone underneath, each spawning their own ores and minerals depending on which of the 23 new stone types it is comprised of.

Caves and underground ravines can be massive, with stalagmites and stalactites scattered throughout. Cave-ins are also an added risk; mining ceiling blocks that aren’t properly supported may result in metric tons of cobblestone falling down on your head.

On the surface, there are 16 different types of trees, large boulders, and smaller surface rocks scattered about. Grass, saplings and flowers slowly grow back depending on the temperature, while foliage changes colors to match the season. TFC also adds new crops and fruit trees as alternative food sources.

Inhabiting the surface are the same standard Minecraft mobs, but with a TFC twist. Animals have distinguishing features depending on their gender and breeding is changed so that females are pregnant for a period of time before giving birth to a believable amount of offspring. Drops have been changed so that all animals (including squids!) drop some form of meat, and mammals drop raw-hide or sheepskin that needs further processing to obtain wool and leather."

It also matters what problems you work on at the beginning of your career and who you are surrounded by.

People who work on things that nobody in their group has good answers for, become much more aware of other disciplines and the histories, as they go looking for better answers.

But if entering a group working on known paths, or existing ideas (being tested), then wandering too far from base camp is going to look unfocused. The existing path has to hit a dead end. Which in many fields/professions takes decades.

> Apple has the financial resources to hire more technical writers and properly document all their APIs, but it's just not a priority.

Related question, what is this seemingly reccurrent trope of Apple to continually understaff their teams/projects or behave as if they still were poor instead of throwing ressources at solving issues (e.g. better developer tools, better documentation, improving QA, ai, servers, reducing bugs, improving security...)? Is it greed? Is it the fear of growing too big and the cult of keeping teams small? Is it an inability to scale up sw projects? I'm dumbfounded by this strange behavior which more often than not lead them to unforced shortcomings.
var a = new Array('5');
// what is a?

var a = 5 + '5';
// what is a?

It's sad that many languages force people to memorize trivial stuff like this.

This is one of the things that really impressed me about Smalltalk/Pharo syntax when I started learning it recently. The language itself encourages you to name things in a way that labels all the parameters. E.g. you can have a constructor like this:

OrderedCollection ofSize: 5.

And method names are composed of parameter names:

array insert: 11 before: 2.

Instead of

array.insertBefore(11, 12);
I'd like to think I put my comments "as potential problems" since I can't claim to follow everything that's done as deep learning.

Still, to continue the devil's advocate position. Deep learning comes up with a lot of things that are suggestive but not tight enough in their approximation to be useful.

I would guess there are huge number of correlations that seems plausible but aren't really causations. You can apply employ a monster stream of sort of intelligent seeming claims and predictions and find they don't yield any progress in any firm scientific domain. The application of deep learning to finding cancer and related diagnosis processes has been "exciting and promising" for a long time but effectively yielded nothing so far because "quite accurate in highly controlled situations" turns out to seldom be that useful, at least not so far.
I remember reading a similar document for my shop's IBM 4381.

When I started mainframe programming, I was given a pocket-sized 'yellow card' that listed all the machine instructions and arguments. It was invaluable for dump-reading.

My co-workers (who were all older when I started) had similar cards, except in different colors. There were white, pink and green cards, too. You could tell when somebody started programming by the color of their card.

I kept mine, still have it.

> It seems much more likely that whatever method they use to do feature selection on this obviously high-dimensional data just happens to end up picking something that was a proxy for gender.

Yes, this is exactly what everyone thinks happened.

Nobody thinks people at Goldman-Sachs wrote

if (applicant.gender == "F")
limit /= 20

somewhere in their algorithm.

But regardless of how the thing happened, if millions of people are treated significantly differently for no reason other than their plumbing, that's a major problem. People have been talking about this "accidental proxy for gender" for years now; there's absolutely no excuse for no doing a basic sanity check to make sure that this kind of thing isn't happening.

Most countries will forgive two lost passports within a 10 year period. After that they may refuse or give you limited duration documents. This is of course at the discretion of the country issuing the documents - but if they are overly generous it will cause problems with other countries expected to accept the documents.

The main concern is they don't want a bunch of unaccounted for passports lying around. It dramatically increases the risk of fraud.
