I have a similar problem with my product which offers machine learning as a service. It offers complex data science features (building ML models) for non-coders. From my experience, I can tell that it is hard to find users that don't have enough technical background to train the model by themself and enough background to understand what to do with ML model.
Brings back some long forgotten nostalgia. Growing up in South Florida, where trains aren't much utilized, I was amazed as a little kid visiting Holland how much trains were used in Europe, and how big the model train scene was there. I'll always remember walking into a shop in Eindhoven that was like the most beautiful model train museum I've ever seen.
Well, if the parents don't allow their children to eay anything other than junk food, then yes, that should be forbidden. Does that happen though?
I'm pretty sure the USB Implementers Forum is controlled by interests that think they benefit from things being confusing.

At least, I can't think of any other explanation for allowing 1.5Mbit/sec and 12Mbit/sec devices to call themselves 'USB 2.0'
Depends - if you really want to explore the tech, this is precisely the way to do it. I would be interested in the results, especially comparing them to your initial results.
Yep, it was tried. See: Unladen Swallow - an experimental CPython fork trying to speed up execution by removing some of the least used dynamism. It started 10 years ago and was abandoned 8 years ago. Retrospective at http://qinsb.blogspot.com/2011/03/unladen-swallow-retrospect...
Although the article is phrased as "look at these right wing demagogues", it's not like this strategy of ignoring truth and using fear isn't also used by the political left. Certainly, the old notion of "liberalism" has been abandoned.
I only read 17 books a year, is that why I'm not successful yet?
From the title, I was expecting the neural network to take an input (e.g., speech or a string "5+11+3=") and then control mouse movements to push the keys on a calculator program (e.g., Windows Calculator). I.e., a neural network driving an existing user interface based on commands from a user.

But the article is more about using neural network transformers to build steps of a mathematical proof with each step checked by a symbolic "calculator". I.e., transformers applied to mathematical proofs.

Vegan diets are much more destructive to children than candy and pop. If a child was only eating candy and pop, then yes, it would be harmful. But usually, kids eat junk as a supplement to otherwise stable meals.

You need protein and iron to grow, you just can’t get a kid to eat the vegan versions of foods that provide this.
Reminds me of the SMAC "Evil lurks in the datalinks as it lurked in the streets but it never was the streets that were evil."

It would be nice if it worked like that but I think you're massively underestimating the problem set here. I'd suggest its more like the architectural glue one needs as an engineer writing a command line util and a fully fledged piece of Enterprise solution (i.e. orders of magnitude).

Of course because we don't actually know how intelligence exactly works we're both guessing here.

So Uber's algorithm takes 58756 ns/op, and the fastest non-brutal algorithm took 471 ns/op. That's about 100 times faster.

They used 40 machines to serve New Year's Eve traffic. Perhaps with a better algorithm, they could have got away with one.

(Possibly not, because there's still a lot of HTTP and JSON munging work to be done, and the network card becomes a bottleneck at some point)
> The issue is even more problematic when you look at what criteria is used to judge the brains "immaturity" in the material supporting the "immature until 25" claim. What they examine is neuroplasticity

No, it isn't neuroplasticity, it's capacity for executive function, which reaches a basic level in early adolescence, but continues to develop through adolescence and early adulthood, is at its peak from about the mid-20s to early-30s, and regresses slightly thereafter back to a level similar to the late teens by about the 70s.

Neuroplasticity is usually what people point to when claiming the young have an advantage in learning or adapting to new environments, but not when talking about teens not being ready to be trusted with the full responsibilities of adults.
I have really enjoyed using Oasis during the early bird and I am excited to see it officially launch! Well done everyone!
Projects like this can help though.

If your performance benchmark is, say, computational fluid dynamics, then then pure Python isn't going to fare well since languages with less overhead will be able to more efficiently leverage the available hardware.

However, a text editor / IDE has relatively fixed performance requirements based on users' perception, such that selective optimization is tractable. Once an application can satisfy human expectations without devouring system resources, additional gains are moot.
I also desire the ideal of education for children, so am perhaps biased, but genuinely I believe it is an underserved market. Look at the cash flowing at Makeblock and similar startups. It's definitely something that could work, if the ecosystem / materials are substantial enough. Consider BASIC era: C64, etc. It's workable. There will always be a need for low level comprehension. ASM is a thought process, not a skill per se. Co-develop an oldies interface as a replacement for Sodoku, with Zachtronics to broaden the market. AFAIK this would really gel with: eg. Jaron Lanier, Alak Kay.

If there’s any object in human experience that’s a precedent for what a computer should be like, it’s a musical instrument: a device where you can explore a huge range of possibilities through an interface that connects your mind and your body, allowing you to be emotionally authentic and expressive. - Jaron Lanier

My sense is that most people moving to Go are coming from Node and that explains their excitement about the performance. Not many upsides when you’re already on Java.
Busting the myths in APM domain – monitoring will not make your app faster
Yeah, boring programming languages are criminally underrated. Fro instance:

> High developer productivity. Go typically takes just a few days for a C++, Java or Node.js developer to learn, and the code is easy to maintain. (Thanks to static typing, no more guessing and unpleasant surprises).

This is why the rest of the world doesn't use JS for everything.

> There is a lot of momentum behind Go at Uber, so if you’re passionate about Go as an expert or a beginner, we are hiring Go developers. Oh, the places you’ll Go!

If they did it in Java, they wouldn't have to recruit for programmers quite so hard -- they could pull them out of a hat, and fairly easily get a few wizards with two decades' worth of experience in it.
>How did these original purchasers find out about these products in order to buy and review them?

Professional reviewers already find out directly fron the product creators. They want to be contacted by them and even seek out contact. This problem is already solved. In general, they certainly don't learn about products from advertising.

>How do I know they aren't receiving products for free or more subtly being specific in what products they will or won't review in order to spin a narrative. I'm a big fan of good product reviews but this doesn't solve advertisings problems it just introduces new ones.

I generally don't have a problem with professional reviewers recieving products for free to review them. If they get paid to push a certain product, while pretending they are a neutral source of information, I would consider this fraud.

>What solution do you envisage to the problem of ads as you see it? to ban them entirely?

Yes, I advocate banning advertising and I hope to contribute to support to put that measure into place.

Here's my anecdote. Ever since I was about 3, any large machine fascinated me. Construction vehicles, trains, planes, even the garbage trucks making the rounds in my neighborhood, and the dumpster trucks making their rounds at my school. At least for me, it's simply a fantasy over big giant machines. Maybe not so different from how native Amazonian tribes sometimes mistook airplanes flying over the rain forest as gods.

We have no choice but to move away from gasoline. Global warming is set to make this planet uninhabitable. The world is estimated to be on a course to 3-4C by 2100 which can only support $1 billion people (and note temperature doesn't stop increasing at 2100).

Sorry, we won't be running on gasoline forever, one way or another.
I've changed my opinion a bit about Vertx combined with Java.

Personally I tried to push it for several years, but most Java developers (and I mean 95% in my particular case) seem to start resenting it over time.

It's hard to write good services in Vertx, mostly due to its asynchronous model combined with Java's verbosity and boiler plate.

Many teams have junior developers and IMHO it's simply not safe expecting them to write production grade services (albeit simple) mostly on their own. It can be done, but it drains the rest of the team. A more productive Java team would have used something like Spring Boot.

Also, with any technology, there are some gotchas .. and with Vertx they are much harder to figure out. In the end we changed to another Java framework.
I've also been doing that for about 25 years, with a similar list, and full automation since ~2001 or so. I haven't found that approach to scale very well because it requires a much higher level of sysadmin skill & application-level knowledge, maintaining a somewhat extensive list of backports or custom builds, and the ability to customize each application to work with a filesystem layout which avoids the conflicts which inevitably arise. Automation is important to making that work at all but it still means that any time things change hands there's a non-trivial amount of code to review before you are confident about making changes and it tends to require elevated privileges or greater levels of coordination between the developers and operators.

The reason why containers are popular is that you get a simple way to manage all of that and it's completely standard on every project. App A doesn't need to be modified to coexist with App B because they're running in an isolated environment, the sysadmin doesn't need to learn how the container was built just to manage services or deploy new instances, builds are much faster because of the layering model, you can deploy a single tested image with no chance of differences creeping into your automated deployments in testing & production, etc. All of that is something which you can achieve with other tools but there's a huge win to not having to reinvent each wheel when you encounter it and being able to reuse other people's work easily.

Note also that I said “containers” instead of Docker — some people might prefer, say, podman / buildah but the key concepts of having a clear support boundary with an isolated-by-default filesystem model are really more important than the implementation.
Are you/pg defying the mood-altering effects of high hormone levels (or perhaps it's a high rate of change of hormones?)?

Observing my own children there has been a clear point where social/interpersonal interactions have become more fraught; and these "moody" periods are relatively arbitrary, not depending on tiredness AFAICT.

Now, that's not too say tiredness is not also a factor in mood, but denying the hormonal effect seems at odds with my personal observations, at least.
And the manufacturers would have never agreed on which ones to use. Starting with the zoo of power connections out there.

Well, if they fix this bug the hardware will become slower in any case. Honestly I don't understand the issue and wonder why it didn't manifest constantly.

Under which kind of circumstances? What does it mean anyway? The jump-instruction itself with arguments crossing cache lines? Wouldn't that happen quite often?
I went straight from an iPhone SE to a Pixel 3a. I was really sad to give up my tiny screen.
We can't go back (and who would want to) - the challenge for a modern parent is to give the kids as much rope as humanly possible. It's tough and can be terrifying - when are they old enough to cross the big street two blocks from the house or walk to school alone. I did those things at 7 (with my 9 year old brother), but my daughter was around 11 when we got up the nerve to let her. But the role of the parent should be constantly pushing the little birds closer to the edge of the nest, even when the thought is unsettling.

So the arithmetic mean(p=1) mass of (e, μ, τ) is twice of square-root-mean(p=1/2) mass of (e, μ, τ).

Very true. As mentioned used a lot for pedophile cases. Case in point, Jared Fogel of Subway fame:

Agreed.
I don't think it'd be unreasonable to do blood testing as part of a kid's regular checkup cycle. Doctors use metrics to determine whether kids are growing properly (height + weight, as well as a general visual check), but are those the best metrics? It's likely they're just "good enough".
Just because there are larger problems doesn’t mean that they should ignore the smaller problems.

I have the GPD Pocket 1 for these purposes; it's fast, it runs Windows, Linux and Android. I run Linux (Ubuntu/i3) on it. It has phenomenal battery life and it's fast enough to do reasonable .NET Core development on in cramped spaces or when my laptop is empty.

I owned the Gemini as well, but, before it got stolen, I was going to sell it because Linux on that device did not really work for me while Android was not productive (for me).

They also would have to sift through some really terrible programmers who have fully bought into the worst practices of enterprise-y OO development.
Yes, to me that's the worst part of the USB-C family of standards: it expects the operating system to tell the user "you're plugging it wrong" (and it does have ways in the protocols to detect all these cases, like using a 2.0-only cable to a 3.x device, or the host not supporting the desired alternate mode, or a lower grade cable when both ends could use a higher grade cable), but that requires the operating system to care about it, and doesn't help at all before you buy and unpack the cable/device.

> it's usb-c and be done with it...

It's even worse: most cables I've seen in stores labeled "USB-C cable" are actually USB-A to USB-C cables. Other than these, so far I've only seen an unlabeled USB-C to USB-C cable, and a Sony brand USB 2.0 USB-C to USB-C cable, both costing around R$ 100 (way more expensive than I'd expect for a basic 2.0-only cable).
Are you seriously saying there's just no way for a parent to get their child to eat vegetables and legumes?
GCC 9.x? I'm stuck in the time when GCC 2.95 was a (buggy) thing everyone relied on until 4.x stabilized. Never used GCC ever since.

GCC is an important piece of software, probably as important as the Linux kernel, but by now I presume it should have become a gigantic pile of outdated and barely maintainable code. Unless I'm wrong of course!
The kind of AI being trained now aren't given the mechanisms of data space traversal/attention. Recently, attention mechanisms are being focused on by google. An AGI needs to learn that it can affect the system - dependent decision theory factors in here too.

Also, growth may be hugely important. Babies start out with fuzzy learning, almost as if the learning rate starts out very small which normalizes the lack of knowledge and elevated novelty/variance of the environment.

AGI is all about predicting future utility given a circular dependency between the agent and environment. QM says we can't solve this exactly.. it's a two object interaction.. no way to gain the joint state, the ground truth, assumptions always have to be made to approximate independence.

Good, this should be seen as a case of child abuse. It's not healthy for children. If adults want to take up that diet, then fine for them, they can make their own choices, but children have no choice but eat what is put on the table.

The other issue is that your kid is going to be "the vegan kid". In general, one should not try to paint a target on one's children if one can avoid it.
Annual spawning sees billions of corals across the Great Barrier Reef release their eggs into the water on one night of the year.
