Can you point out specifically what I said that contradicts, not trying to be obtuse but I want to reassess my thinking.

The reduction of information example I thought agreed with the article, because traditionally (or in other words in layman's understanding) a black hole seems to have been represented as thing that removes information from the universe, which would be like taking a sequence of binary and reducing it to a 1 or 0 through some hidden methods. You'd never be able to get back the original data - unless you had some encoding of the steps taken to reduce, i.e. through a transformation.

Genuinely I'm just not quite sure which bit of my analogy contradicts the article, and perhaps I've just not been clear enough in what I am writing, but I appreciate your comment in any regards.
In case the person you’re insulting reads this, I’d like to chime in and say that I understood their comment perfectly easily.
> He told me that what I was about to learn, I could not discuss with anyone who was not also cleared for this information. I could not talk about this with family, friends, or other GE employees forever.

I wonder if forever still applies...
Yes, this is the straightforward ‘collaborative filtering’ algorithm. I suppose the line between ‘algorithm’ and AI/ML is not well defined though. At what point does a technique become ‘AI’? I don’t know a good answer.

A crime committed publicly is still a crime tho.

For all we know the board could be accessory to the crimes. The board could have gone along with it if they were directly or indirectly getting something they wanted.

According to the article, Adam Neumann indulging in self-dealing to enrich himself is "among the issues". We don't know the full scope of the investigation.
Two things I find help me...

Number 1: Stop being a victim, its far too easy to blame things that occured in the past for causing your current situation. You cant change what happend, accept it and move on, I know it sounds like im saying just get over it but thats not what I mean. Your trauma will probably stay with you for the rest of your life, it sucks and I feel for you, but no matter what it was, it only has the ability to affect your future life if you let it. Start by dealing with the addiction, dont use the trauma as an excuse to feed it, if you have cravings accept them for what they are. Lots of people deal with addictions, you dont need any reason why, just be aware that you are addicted and take real action to deal with it.

Number 2: Get your hands in some dirt asap, plant a bean, start a herb garden it doest matter just grow something. The act of raising a living thing and caring for it is extremely therapeutic. It will bring purpose to your life. I cant stress this enough, buy an amaryllis bulb if your worried about not having a green thumb. Grow something and your soul will heal. Trust me!!

Good luck.
It'd be interesting to know where the lines get drawn here. Private businesses are set up with a primary purpose of being self dealing (looking at what Adam Neumann did, and it's hard to argue that from the outset at least, it doesn't look that
dissimilar to how a lot of private equity companies run).
That friend certainly exists and he's not a burden on the team. Maybe you focus too much on the latency number and forget that some people play to have fun, while still playing very decently.

I think it's very rude you suggest I don't know people in Australia (do you even know someone from Australia?)
Show HN: My open source trading framework to trade on multiple time frames
Thanks! Just found your Smashnotes project and signed up.
Some of the technical indicators I added to this framework could not be found anywhere in existing open source libraries, among them ConnorsRSI and Instantaneous trendline.

There is a DirectionIndicator as well that uses linear regression to predict what the next value in a sequence will be, so you can try to predict if a crossover will happen soon and act before most of the movement happens, or simply identify if a line is moving up or down.

This framework allows anyone who can code a bit to build and test a strategy then run a trading robot. It even emails you every time a trade is made .

Right now there is out-of-the-box support for Binance if anyone here is interested in crypto, but I built this to be extensible so that you need to implement 2 interfaces to integrate with another exchange or broker to trade stocks or forex for example (this is code you'd have to write anyway to submit a buy order for example).

The readme shows a few examples and I hope you guys find it useful.

Feel free to contribute if you can: suggestions, bugs or code are welcome. I plan to add way more indicators there over time.

Cheers!

Latin was the common international language of Western Europe for more than a thousand years after the Roman Empire collapsed. Even until the 19th century there are some (admittedly by then a bit rare) examples of major treatises composed in Latin rather than in a national language.

There is a gigantic body of literature, science, history, philosophy, and so on, all written in Latin.

If civilization survives long enough, people will probably still be studying English thousands of years from now for similar reasons, even if there are no more native speakers.

I'm the kind of consumer who uses games as disposable entertainment. I don't want to come back to witcher 3 in 3,4,5 years. I want to play the game that is the best that year.

When I was a youngling and had time and most critically - there weren't that many games - I liked to return to good games like Baldurs Gate 2 or Fallout from time to time.

Now - pushing 40, have family and career and and an acute sense of mortality (i.e. time has value) - I still like to play games from time to time, but I really have to struggle to complete any game even once.

I sample the latest AAA games and hottest indie things when they come out and are cheap on Steam but I don't really have time to complete them, except only rarely. The only game I've completed after Witcher 3 is In to the breach. I have a huge list of unplayed games in Steam from the last holiday sale waiting to be even installed.

Given this, I find a disposable cloud game library with reasonable pricing quite enticing. It would be exactly how I use steam - except sans having to download hundreds of gigabytes before I can even go to the main screen.
I take it as: People dunk on other people on the internet for doing/saying dumb stuff.
But everyone pretty much seems to follow a pattern most of the time, anyway. (And you don't feel all that 'special' if all you do/say could be reliably reproduced by a simple flowchart). You dunk on others to feel better about yourself; although really you could just as well be dunked on for what you do/say, too.

> Isn't this entirely the point of running a business?

Economically, the point of commerce is for us to create more value for each other than we could create on our own. Anything that extracts money without creating value is parasitic.

> I feel like you know what you're getting into working for this sort of company.

Nope. Surely most of the people who understood the problems didn't take jobs there. WeWork was actively hyped, and one of the functions of that hype was to make it seem like an attractive place to work.

Deep learning is the obvious answer: 10 years ago it was largely confined to a small number of research groups and niche conferences.

Uhu seems good
Did he do everything to maximize the position of the corporation and the shareholders or did he act mainly in his own interests as a shareholder?

There are no overt acts, I agree, but that also means a good DA can convince a judge that certain actions of his were primarily for self interest. The fact that he walked away with 1Bn dollar when other shareholders lost money does not look good.

It is hard to argue that your actions were not primarily for self enrichment when you walk away with a ton of money and everyone else at the table loses. In a way his lawyers would have an uphill battle convincing the judge that his actions were primarily to further the enterprise and that through a series of unfortunate events he is the only one who ended up with a lot of money.

facebookmail.com is not in the alexa top 500, whereas facebook.com is.

spam filters really are this dumb at big companies. usually the way we'd get around it is we'd call up $big_company and say, "hey, could you please remove our e-mails from your spam list? we would like to send your users a lot of mail right now." a few hours later, we'd be good to go.

this was ~2007. it may be harder to get them on the phone now, and the value of your company may need to be higher (we only had a few hundred million, which seems like chump change these days).
I really don't want to move away from handwriting notes. You learn better that way. Plus, most note taking apps suck, look the same, and lock you in to a proprietary system that's going to be obsolete when the devs release the next paid update. For my scripts and code I do take notes electronically, but just in .txt files stuck in relevant folders. The best system is very little system.

I nearly pulled the trigger on an e ink tablet but ended up bailing on it. Pen and paper is cheap and ubiquitous, and I can recycle it unlike the tablet that's mostly going to end up in the dump, and just another thing to charge or forget at home.
The name is unfortunate and I wish they would spend more time on thinking about a proper name. It has to work in spoken conversation such as "are you on Facebook?", "I am using Whatsapp". "We can connect on WT:Social", not so much. Is it supposed to be pronounced "double you tee social"?
Not just the big players, I had a conversation with the administrator of the Australian ISP Bigpond about why my server was being spammed. Their response was verbatim "We blocked Digital Ocean, because we get spam from there" Even with good reputation servers, admins are happy to reject legitimate mail for any reason.
I think what he’s saying is that cringe humour appeals mostly to those who know that they are pretty cringeworthy themselves.

While everyone can enjoy an occasional piece of cringe humour, the sort of person who spends a lot of time on /r/cringe is the sort of person that others would find embarrassing, working hard to reassure themselves that others are worse off than they.

Kinda like how /r/fatpeoplehate was mostly filled with secretly fat people laughing at the really fat people.
Ah that makes sense. Well in that case it’s likely because of censorship, you don’t see those comments since they are either blocked or deleted.
Local-first software: you own your data, in spite of the cloud
Again, just anecdotally, I don't know if its just me, but most of my experience is of google/apple translate and auto-corrects going from the word I want to a wrong/incorrect one.

It is one of my most frustrating everyday software experiences.

Not only is it not getting better, its actually getting worse, because before I at least had the correct sentence. Now my correct sentence is mangled as it tries to force corrections/substitutions, and I have to continually go back and manually-correct the auto-correct.

It seems to work for me on short pre-formed sentences and toy examples (if you communicate using pre-formed phrases and use well-worn cliches in your writing, it seems to pick up and predict for them). I wonder whether the "increased accuracy" of modern solutions aren't just functionally having access to a larger library of lookup rules of stored common/popular phrases and direct translations (a huge part of practical 'AI' advancement has been on the scaling-infrastructure/collection of new-scales-of-data rather than the AI techniques themselves IMO) effectively mined from its training data, but the moment I try to write or dictate anything new, original, or lengthy and it turns absolutely pear-shaped.

That's clever. Nobody can draw dark in AR, which means overlays on the world have to be too bright and shiny. Ellsworth came up with a use case where the AR images always have a grey background, the blank game board. So this is much more workable than the more elaborate AR schemes. Cheaper, too, at $299.

I worked in mining as well and it's often terrifying watching the stuff that goes on all day at every urban construction site, even the things you can see from street level. Construction workers that stand directly below suspended crane loads in order to guide them down to the ground is something I see constantly and makes me nervous just to watch. If you tried anything like that at any of the mines I worked at you would be immediately escorted off site and probably blacklisted from working there again.

I must have gotten lucky because mine just works. My exact setup is mailinabox installed on a vps at vultr. Have been sending to gmail addresses mostly fine. Had 1 email go to spam in 2018 but everything else has gone through correctly.

Since mailinabox configures everything for you maybe the issue is that when you set it up yourself you don't quite get it exactly right to what gmail and microsoft demand.

I still need to have a big ass corp to maintain the film library. Movies don't just remain watchable automatically. Without fairly large capital investment to storage they would rot away. Actually the analogue to movies is pretty good in this sense - if we had a 'universal game binary' that would 'just work' on the generic 'cloud based game platform' of the future.

But anyway, our future entertainment might be completely hallucinated by AI in an on demand fashion before we get the 'general storage game binary' thingy.

Simple answer: close the breaker box lid and put a cheap padlock on it. You don't need a tag or special clip. That ensures that your wife or roommate doesn't try to flip the breaker back on while your arm is in the garbage disposal or you are holding the hot wire with your teeth.

You can and should use a test light or DVOM to verify the power is out.

You can and should treat the wires as if they were "hot" anyhow. You should keep a wire nut on the hot wire. Don't actually put any of the wires in your teeth.

Now. You could do all that, but what I do at home is carry a lot of insurance and work "hot". I don't care about 120V or even 240V. I make sure what I'm touching one arm at a time with no ground path through my heart. Don't stand in water. Simply just don't touch the hot wire. I learned to work hot on a piecework job that payed by units completed and that was about 1000% more if you could work hot. And, you can, if you manage the risk. If you mess up 99% chance you'll say "OW" and NOT do that again. I wouldn't play Russian roulette with 1:6 odds. But 1:100 (die from) x 1:100 (mistake) x 10 hours per year (occasional fixes), fine not worth the bother. Far more chance of dying falling off the ladder than electrocution. DON'T stand on rolly chairs.

Now at an uncontrolled job-site, where I'm payed by the hour, 2000 hours/year? NEVER. It's a lot different when you are a company of one vs. many. I know what I'm doing, and while I make mistakes, I can guess how often. If you have more than 0 co-workers, you cannot trust or predict their mistakes.

Mindfulness meditation. Sitting with your thoughts and emotions, experiencing them, and understanding them, rather than avoiding them or distracting yourself from them can have a dramatic effect on your life.

I have been running a mailinabox email server for over a year now. You basically just run the install script, tell it your domain name and set the server as the name server for your domain name and its all done.
