I think your reply misses a powerful factor: economics.

Newspapers used to rely on print advertising to make the majority of their money. And they made enough of it to do a good job.

It's much harder to report original stories when you have no revenue. Nowadays, advertising revenue is mostly driven by clicks, hence the rise in clickbait, reprinting of Reuters/AP/etc. (as opposed to "real" local stories) and fluff journalism as you mention. Local news has been hit the hardest because these newspapers made more of their money, percentage-wise, from advertising and classifieds.

(Also, worth noting: the link I provided contains studies showing that local news nowadays provides an important net good to society. So while you may be of the opinion - anecdotally - that all local news is just PR, that hasn't been found to be true in the academic literature.)

As to your third point, the prosecution of whistleblowers was heavily covered during the Obama administration. While I obviously can't speak to the specific conversations and interactions you had, it seems to me that you're tarring journalism with an incredibly broad brush by calling journalists uneducated based on a few chats (also, journalists cover a wide variety of subjects - were the journalists you were chatting with covering national politics?). There are more and less educated journalists, just as there are in every profession.

Obviously the old models don't work for journalism, and a lot of the onus is on journalism to change and to innovate. But if we value journalism as a society, some of it is also on us to change the way society works. I think the challenge is not dissimilar to what we saw with movies/music in the early 00's when piracy was rampant. The rise of streaming and the willingness of the general public to pay for entertainment media again has been a game-changer in that industry.
People can go their whole lifetime without making novel contributions to a field. If an arbitrary time limit is required to have a PhD, I feel like it probably discounts the implications of what kind of individual one needs to be to make novel contributions at a young age in less time.

Ah, no.

What if the network is up, but the server is down.

If the network were the issue, Chrome could log the attempts to a local store then send the report when the network is up again.

>Something about predatory nature of both insects seems to tune up their intelligence.

Yep. To be a predator, you need to outwit your prey and think fast, so it's thought to be a natural INT grinder. `w´

Presumably, this could drive up the INT of prey too, but maybe it's cheaper to just be faster/harder to see? But you can't be THAT hard to see, and the speed only saves you in failed ambushes, so planning successful ambushes continues to reward the INT of predators (unless they just enter the speed arms race, like cheetahs or tiger beetles).
I agree. My first machine learning class, my prof only allowed scikit learn for boilerplate stuff like train test splits and we had to code a bunch of different models from scratch. It was really educational. I’m still slightly traumatized from my EM assignment!!
They still did stuff that makes no sense, to me, like not supporting `iteritems` on dictionaries and `xrange` on sequences. Or using `str` to mean bytes? That would have been possible to make backwards compatible until Python 4. At this point, does anyone think there will be a Python 4?
Any hope of seeing costs go down ?
Yeah, I was running Firefox via crostini for a while and it worked really well.

To your last point, check out Dataclasses[1].

@dataclass
class Foo:
arg1: str
arg2: int
arg3: int = 5 # default value

I use them a lot in my 3.7+ projects. It helps reduce the boilerplate for typical classes. (Where for me, typical classes are a 1:1 mapping of inputs to attributes)

And if you need to compute some values at object initialization, then they have a __post_init__() hook you can use [2].

I use this setup. It is annoying as hell when you have to constantly unmount drives. Using this setup for Apple Photos is even worse. In Catalina I’m unable to safely unmount unless I reboot (shutting down photos and waiting 30 min isn’t enough) Also this setup is not portable

Apple no longer just works anymore for me. It hasn’t for the past 2-3 years now.

That depends a lot on the headphones and phone you're using there's annoyingly no real way to know exactly what usb-c audio method your phone and headphones are using and there are some annoying incompatibilities.

Either way they can use the USB-C jack to send digital data to headphones and cheaper ones just won't work because they're built for the analog passthrough version of usb-c audio.

This is a great way to understand code. Why write comments, when you can make presentations? Are there similar tools like this?
I don't think it should be up to someone else what I am allowed to be embarrassed about, or what I want to keep private.

I don't think changing society to not be embarrassed about things being made public is a good solution to privacy concerns.

Also, we might have a million, non-embarrassment reasons to want to keep things private. I might not want people to know about my cancer because I want to be able to live my life without having to answer questions about it, or have people treat me as delicate. I might not want people to know I am pregnant because I don't want to have to tell them when I have a miscarriage.

Most importantly, I want to be able to have whatever arbitrary reasons I want to keep things private.

Yep, I actually started a company that cleans data reliably because of this. It’s usually a huge waste of resources for a highly paid person to clean data (like ML specialists) and most data cleaning companies just outsource to overseas resources that aren’t reliable or knowledgeable beyond an Excel skill set.

Can confirm. I run the Great Lakes Relay [1] each year. It's a 275 mile course along northern Michigan. We go through some heavily wooded areas for multiple days at a time. We usually do not have cell service. Even GPS is spotty at times. Furthermore, the driving directions and running directions don't always use roads. Here's some examples:

Driving directions: turn left at C509 (unmarked) for 2.9 miles. The exchange is past the creek. There will be big puddles, plow through them.

Problems happen when you're in a Honda civic that can't go through 2.5 feet of water. So you have to turn around and find your own way to the exchange, with no cell service.

We always bring multiple copies of a Michigan Atlas. This way we can pinpoint where we are (using GPS) and find nearby roads, despite the terrible race directions.

TY, I've never heard this about cats. My one cat will get the remnants of a bowl of chocolate ice cream when I occasionally have one; I guess I should stop doing this!

I've heard this a lot about dogs, and I know it is stated by reputable sources, but the Vet we had growing up told us that this is a myth, and it depended upon the dog; he used to give his dog a pound of fudge every year for christmas, and it had no ill effects except for being somewhat hyper afterwards. I still wonder about his judgment; it doesn't seem like the thing a veterinarian should be telling people. But anyway I wont give chocolate to dogs.

We don't really give her (the cat who likes the melty chocolate chips) much, but she might sneak a lick here or there. I'll be more careful now. Thanks again!

Facebook has been giving me ads for a quit smoking drug for a month or two. (Chantrix? Shows how well the ad worked. I remember there's a picture of a cold turkey.) I don't smoke now, and I've never smoked regularly. Machine learning!
The issue sems to be that the max advertised boosts is based on the number the plug into the boost algorithm. (I say based since some of them, especially higher end chips are 25-75 MHz higher than advertised boosts, a BIOS Dev posted them somewhere that I can't find :/)

There is an issue when the chips don't really hit it.
I dislike negatively reviewing an article, but the assertion is misleading. All C++ is doing in this case is type deduction, and that is basically unification.

Sure, this is a very narrow subset of logic programming. But that would be like saying you can do variable assignment in logic programming so logic programming incorporates C++. The things that make LP strong (in particular recursion) is not handled in any way here.
I wouldn't say that, but they do suffer from something the IT industry as a whole suffers from: there is/was a need, and by fulfilling that need, they find themselves in a quandary where they're committed to something that must continue to exist in order to avoid inflicting self-harm.

You can't go into business selling software on the assumption you'll sell a single copy and your work is finished. Infosec is no different. There is always this paradoxical need to ensure you never become entirely redundant, regardless of the function you specialize in

I think a lot of the great "evolutionary difficulties" in our industry can be phrased this way. It's why things like Microsoft Excel are laughed at even as hundreds of thousands are trained in the art of constructing effectively bespoke spreadsheets apps in Django by the million every year. I hope for a correction some day, just as much as I hope I'm on the right side of it when it comes..
This is backwards thinking.

Yes, it's expensive to upgrade from Python 2 to Python 3, but it's also expensive for the Python project to maintain 2 versions of Python indefinitely. If someone wanted other than the core Python team wants to step up and maintain Python 2, they are free to do so, it's open source. But failing that, expecting the Python team to support the older/ less functional version of the code indefinitely is unrealistic. Corporate owned languages have even shorter lifecycles for exactly this reason.
No Country for Old Actors [VFX Comparison][DeepFake]
If you're looking specifically for cameras, go get some Foscams, and use something, anything but the software that comes with them. I use a Synology NAS that can talk to cameras, but there are tons of other options that can talk to generic cameras. The only time the cameras have any interaction with the internet is when the Synology decides to send the stream to my phone. As far as the cameras know, there is no internet.

And if you dig around and aren't all that choosy on features, you can often find Foscams on close out or otherwise dirt cheap. Some I have were $35, with panning; no optical zoom at that price, though.
Without Apple supporting it this is not a messaging standard, rather it is another Google's fumble at creating a messaging app.

Is goto really the best way to link together flows?

Personally, and this could be my complete ignorance of the chatbot topic, I can't even imagine the possible hellscape that would be large applications. Like... how do you ensure you don't just end up in some huge loop? How do you even reliably test it? Does it have some sort of built in state-machine to keep you from constantly shitting on your feet?

Also... where is the source code? What's it implemented in? Is there a timeframe for its release?

Overall, I think this is a pretty damn cool idea but without knowing more about how it works under the hood it's really hard to want to dig in more.

FWIW, the name makes me think it's an ML (which it's not), or something to do with machine learning and chat bots (which it is also not).
Apple already supports SMS to their Messages app. Those communication threads fall back to SMS rather than their proprietary protocol, I imagine. RCS equipped message apps will probably fall back to regular SMS when sending to Apple Messages equipped phones, maybe?
Unless I missed it, the referenced paper doesn't quantify what savings Amazon achieved, or even if Amazon actually used the NN described. It does not support the statement "found massive savings".
You can disagree, but you're still at least partially wrong; if you're using postgres already, adding redis WILL make your system less reliable as you now have another point of failure to deal with (something else to patch, keep up to date, restart, etc, etc). Unless you have super high traffic, low latency requirements - using postgres adds some load, plus saves you having to write code to deal with rollback / race conditions with postgres vs a-redis-queue.
> The whole point of using a password manager is that the passwords I create and use on my {desktop, laptop, work machine, phone} are immediately and seamlessly available to me on all of the other platforms.

That isn’t the whole point of 1PW though, or at least it wasn’t at the beginning, as I saw it. It was a way to avoid having to remember a unique, secure (read: probably hard to remember) password for every service that requires one. A place to store them all so you don’t have to remember, or worse, reuse the ones you can remember, and/or use easy-to-remember ones (read: less secure). It’s in the name: one password gets you access to all your passwords. Automatic form filling and cloud sync are definitely selling points and certainly convenient, but they are also risk vectors. I’d not call cloud sync essential; I get by fine without it. I just use the WiFi sync option.

Full details of the project, including all the code and documentation, are posted at https://www.brachiograph.art.

This is my attempt to do something with the Raspberry Pis and cheap servo motors I've had hanging around that's both genuinely interesting and also as simple and cheap as possible. Robotics isn't my subject, but I wanted to make something.

The total cost of hardware (excluding the clothes-peg, pencil and things you will find in a kitchen drawer) is €14. You could build the whole thing in about an hour, it's a fun thing to do with a child, and they love the fact that it's made from household materials.

One thing I like about it is that it's all 'wrong' - you are not supposed to use servos or electronics like this, and it's not what a 'real' engineer would do - but it still works well enough to be fun.

The cost and simplicity are really important because this project has come with me to events like PyCon Africa (http://pycon.africa) and PyCon Namibia (https://na.pycon.org) where not everyone has easy access to labs and hack-spaces and electronic hobby shops, and many people have to learn and experiment on much smaller budgets.

There's some custom Python code: https://github.com/evildmp/BrachioGraph and contributions and issue reports are welcomed. And it's on Twitter: https://twitter.com/BrachioGraph.

If you build one yourself, please send me a picture!
