It’s not about the size for me. Sure the full height inverted T is easy to use. The half height inverted T also works. But the one that isn’t inverted T is difficult.
Nice. Look for the Pennsylvania T1 Duplex in the second photo.

> The risk is that it's hard to guess how much data you'll need to train an accurate, automated model. Maybe it's very large, and you can't keep doing it manually long enough to get there. Maybe it's very small and lots of companies will automate the same task and you won't have any advantage.

I think you forgot most important option. It may not be a data problem. You may have all the data in the world and still not being able to solve the issue.

It's really strange of you to admit this double-think. You are admitting to yourself that you hold two contradictory opinions simultaneously. I think the best thing to do (which you might be arguing for but cutting corners?) is to understand that population-level trends exist but to still judge individuals as individuals, not as members of their groups.

I also disagree about the quote below:

>That's because the issue of men vs women in programming really is an all-or-nothing topic. Either you believe that a female is capable of being an equivalently skilled programmer to a male, or you don't.

When populations are on bell curves, this statement is nonsensical. Imagining the statement "Either you believe that a female is capable of being an equivalently skilled competitive wrestler to a male, or you don't" would be similar.
> Kubernetes itself which for most users today still relies on Docker

Not anymore, over the past couple of years Kubernetes slowly stripped Docker most of its power to the point that Docker can be totally removed from k8s clusters. And this will be widely be the norm in a couple of years or so

I do have touchbar envy! I tend not to look at my keyboard too much on desktop, but when on a laptop it's definitely in my peripheral vision and would hopefully encourage me to learn it's shortcuts. There's a lot of UX work involved to make it all work perfectly though. App's especially, shouldn't just use the touchbar, they should make it easier with visual in app reminders about what's down there. They should do this with the standard FN-keys too for us non-touchbar folk. I'm a big fan of having keyboard shortcuts shown on screen UI's.

There's no denying it can do more in than Fn-keys.
There is an important choice in deleting a public repo, even it has been archived elsewhere. At the very least you are no longer claiming that it fits your criteria of public portfolio.
The key is that they’re not betting the farm on ML. Instead they’re betting someone else’s farm on ML.
I wonder if we'll need a PGP signature for every kind of recording we might make in the future.
That's actually... interesting.
I haven't thought about it this way. I guess you mean people want it to be part their portfolio, which actually makes a lot of sense.
I don't have the best answer yet, but I guess one thing is that, we could host the source code on our site and have some sort of portfolio page here.
The whole point of Machine Learning is that you don't, and shouldn't, implement exceptions, manual weights, any of that complex parametrization, etc. The machine should figure all that out itself, even if it needs millions of internal parameters to do it!

Sounds neat, until you trust it with your life.
Your response doesn't at all address gbrown's example of how a misapplied algorithm can exacerbate a systemic inequality. Specifically, you provide an example of gbrown's points 1 and 2 while ignoring point 3, which is the crux of the issue.
Bullying is an epidemic in our society -- all the way to the very top of our political institution.

People don't speak out because of the fear of repercussions. I spoke out. I was fired. My wages withheld. I was subsequently falsely reported to the police for criminal behavior by the corporate attorney, which is against their code of ethics -- or he lied about doing so, either way it's an ethics violation with at worst a slap on the wrist. When I reported the corporate fraud to that attorney he said he wasn't reading my emails.

I said, "you know. I told you. You are complicit." He refuses to respond.

I don't know where to go now.

So much this!!! In all fairness, it doesn't matter what you pick up, you'll spend north of 80% of your time preparing and pre-processing data, which is almost always catastrophically tedious and boring. Annoyingly that also applies to publicly available datasets - pre-processing is still most of the work. For instance, the tensorflow team invested a lot of time and effort into tf.data for that reason but imo it doesn't make things a whole lot better.
Conceptually what, beyond plain text, is guaranteed to function in the far future? You can count on 2019-vintage CSS and JS to be completely unusable.

So the acid test is, have the people implementing this really thought this through?

Based on the web pages they are using, the answer appears to be, no.
They also speak of instant acceleration though. My first thought was that it maybe had no mass, just like the dot of a laser pointer could "move" faster than light, but it seems like some radar picked it up, too.

Yes! VC is an asset class targeting high-growth, high-risk opportunities. As an LP (e.g., pension fund, college endowment, individual baller), you put some % of your money in VC funds as part of a broad portfolio of investment types.

If you want to grow a stable business and share portions of your revenue, there are other sources of investment such as Private Equity and plain-old debt (loans).
I would urge you, or anyone who thinks that downvoting is toxic for this matter, to volunteer in moderating questions written by new users for a day or two.

Once you see a constant flood of "I made app, here my 1000 lines of code (screenshot), I get error, where bug?" that the moderators have to defend the site against - you might just change your opinion about the value of downvotes.

Apple is no longer selling the original magic keyboard, so those are the right product. They are wireless, and charge with a lightning cable.

They will also present as a USB HID when plugged in via USB/lightning, so they can be used with any workstation even without Bluetooth.

> Charge my laptop Did you need 4 ports to do this? How is this better than a magsafe connector?

Being able to charge on either side is really, really nice. I miss MagSafe, sure, but this mostly makes up for it. I can also run my laptop off the ubiquitous USB-C battery packs now, which is glorious.

USB-C-USB-C are going to be much more ubiquitous too, especially when the iPhone switches next cycle.

Neil Young's interest in model trains is influenced in part by his two sons' cerebral palsy. When they were young, his train set--seeing it and ultimately controlling it with custom controllers--was one of the few ways they could interact with the world.

Good insight, but the incentives don’t exactly match up to how you describe. Their investments actually looks like an American option instead of a Euro option because they can flip their investments when in the black. Since it’s not possible to cash out Euro options in this way, their incentives and compensation look much more like American options than Euro ones.

Agreed. Down voting is toxic. Though, rather than costing points, I'd prefer to see the voter required to explain why they are down voting.

As small as it is, a down vote is a public action saying that the person posting what you are voting on has less value. At least that what they said has less value. That is never a fun experience, even if you have very thick skin.

Many projects don't even need cluster state, they could have just used a Makefile and some sed templating [0] (get off my lawn). Thankfully in these cases you can use helm offline to render the templates then just apply them but it's not great.

The detail "This is assuming a perfectly-trained AI judges the variable, and that it controls against the underlying variables of societal bias in order to ensure that long-term human resources are properly allocated, and that long-term biases, informed by people's interactions with eachother, trend toward actual biological differences" should address that concern.
Thanks for the feedback!

Sounds like a good idea to provide a free trial. But I also want to make sure that people are actually interested in paying.

What specifically do you mean, by "how the spec is laid out, and how the solution is laid out"? I guess I understand the spec part, but what about the solution?

I just took a quick look at Skyscanner and couldn't initially see this happening - do you have a link or example?

It's been a long time since I worked there but there was generally strong opposition to masking any delays.

That said it's frequently necessary to retrieve the latest fare quotes from the airlines (which involves network calls naturally), so that the user doesn't end up clicking through to wildly different pricing/availability -- but departure/arrival/carrier information about flights should generally be displayed without delay (unless things have changed - glad to see an example if so!).

BBC Radio 2's Jeremy Vine talks to Rod about his hobby on his show[0]. They're then joined by Jools Holland who is also an enthusiast, and then after a tune Steve Lamacq and the guy from Railway Modeller, who wrote up the article mentioned, chat for a while longer about modelling.

As a modeller myself it was nice to listen to a reasonably respectful and decent length piece about the hobby.

Rent seeking is a disease that stifles progress. I don't understand how the same people who rail against overly aggressive patent, DRM, and copyright protections can justify supporting rent seeking in the physical world.
Not bad... as saagarjha says, you can slide on either that key or the brightness key. Unfortunately, that doesn't work for me because I've set the touchbar to default to F-keys for the sake of consistency with the other keyboards I use. For whatever reason, this means that the slide-on-button trick does not work.

The whole LGBTXYZ discussion is somewhat weird to me. How about letting people's sexual preferences be their own business? I would rather be free from knowing what goes on in people's bedrooms, I don't think this is an unreasonable request.

I'm not sure the chocolatier's site with no numbers or data is a good reference. This study shows the ratio of theobromine to caffeine is like between 2.5:1 and 25:1, with most between 5:1 and 10:1 [1]. To your point it's not zero, but it's by far the minority bitter alkaloid constituent.

You're looking at a societal bias, and inferring a biological difference. In other societies, this bias is much reduced, which would not likely be the case if differences were truly biological.

In particular, Eastern Europe of all places is relatively egalitarian in men-vs-women in programming.
I used to enjoy Second Life. What was it..a decade ago?..until it became mired in controversy and then the farm happened.

I have created a couple of absolutely impossible templates..mostly my imaginations of cities from books I have read..not just sci fi but also Victorian fiction. My fav genre is cyberpunk. I also like to imagine cities in space and underwater and Mythology and fairy tale worlds.

It all still feels ‘flat’ ..you know? I wish there was some way I can make my words become three dimensional landscapes and cities. I enjoy doing garden designs and urban homestead concepts on paper because there is a sliver of chance that I can actually convert them to reality.

Have you ever come up with fantasy materials..like imaginary metals and materials with fabulous properties.. like walls that can become fireplaces in winter or underground gardens beneath homes..detachable homes levels.sides of homes that are full scale apiaries etc. sometimes I get carried away but who knows..might be possible some day.
While people are not as logical as we like to be, we all are logical. I can teach someone the rules of math - my method of teaching might be (probably is) bad, but if the student tries he will learn those rules. Latter on when given a test the student can show his work and it will be much the same as every other student trying to explain his reasoning: operations like "complete the squares" have been well described and reasoned out.

Likewise chess masters can explain their thought process while looking at the next move and other chess masters will agree the lines of thought are good (they will probably ask why not some other equally good line...). We know this explanation is good because students can watch the experts explain their thought process and replicate it in games to a small extent and to better.
IIRC, the configurable logic took the place of the CAMs in the routing table mainly. There's cool niches where FPGAs make sense due to their on the fly reconfigurability even more than a purpose designed asic would.
Blame the "left leaning zeitgeist" all you want, I've seen no such evidence. What I have seen is a Hacker News thread full of people misunderstanding statistics and machine learning, advocating for bad models, and obsessing about biological explanations for the crazy gender disparity in tech. Whatever real, fundamental differences exist, it's preposterous to assert that our current situation is entirely biological in nature - especially when the toxicity is on such full and self-assured display.

I do agree. I stand with SSC's criticisms about the details, but I do believe that despite its flaws, it does communicate a very important message effectively.

Namely, that your mental health is part of your body, not part of your mind.

It really changed my perspective, where before I had contempt about my body, saw it as a nuisance, I now understand I -am- my body. It's as much a part of me as my mind.

It helped me look into the right direction for treatment and additional resources.
The current (post ~2015 or so) Precision models aren't like that. They're pretty sleek and competitive.

You're correct. A statistical model could uncover "an inconvenient truth", and even make us question our biases and become more adamant in finding better solutions.

However, ML is often sold as a solution for generating outcomes, not for finding truths, wether they be true or false.

The distinction is huge.

No matter what humans do, they will reap what they sow. Consequences and outcome matter more than "truth" (which may be in the eye and competence of the beholder).
