I'm guessing at the exact mechanism, but I assumed the shock knocks the heart rhythm regulators out of sequence and the body can cope for a while but eventually goes in to cardiac arrest. There is some argument about whether symptoms spontaneously show after 12 hours [www.journalagent.com/travma/pdfs/UTD_18_4_301_305.pdf - linked from said article].

Cells have a bunch of interesting electrical properties - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrophysiology . I recall a somewhat humerous story when they discovered electricity. Galvani made a frogs leg twitch and hypothesised something like electricity in the leg. Volta said the idea was bunkum and it was caused by the different metals being used for the experiment. Volta redid the experiment without the frog and someone did Galvani's experiment without the metal so everyone got to be right.
I'm due an upgrade - if my life depended on it being reliable I'd downgrade. I'll do a fresh install once I'm up and running on my new machine and if that's unstable then I may downgrade it.
Hi,

I'm looking for a co-founder. I started Slips.io as a way for gamers to make bets on Twitch/live streams using cryptocurrency. We came up with the idea in Jan 18 although we started working on the product in July. We had a full product by the end of the year and got funding in Jan 19. Betting is a hard market to break into and sadly my co-founder left in April. He handled design although I'm no slouch in that department either. I'm a programmer by trade but I'll do anything that needs to be done; copy writing, pitching, selling etc.

We've pivoted to an blockchain powered esports league although I have an idea of how to make the betting concept work as well.

My plans is to build out both products, launch, show traction and then return to the investors I've been building relationships with this year to get some seed funding.

I'm looking for someone who is interested in gaming and/or cryptocurrencies and either has specific skills in an area (business/tech/design/sales etc) or a generalist. Whatever your specific skils, I need you to have an immense work ethic.

If you are interested, my email is my profile. I've provided some links below for you to get a bit information about Slips. You can check out both https://slips.io and https://slips.gg to look at the two products.

This is the deck we used to raise funds in Nov 18:

Can’t an ad blocker do the CNAME resolution and then not load the URL if it resolves to a 3rd-party hostname?

Using an A/AAAA record would be harder, you’d need to have an IP blacklist, and the trackers would probably be constantly shifting IPs, using a low TTL on the record.

This might require giving your tracker programmatic access to your DNS, not sure if many first parties are ready to go there.
Deep learning helps radiologists detect lung cancer on chest X-rays
I've done something like that some years ago to ensure that the tracking we were using on our website worked even if a user had an AdBlock. (it wasn't a tracker as in ad tracker, but a tracker nontheless)

It was fairly trivial: instead of asking for the tracking script directly I put a small service of ours in front of it, so our website asked for foo.mycompany.com/stats.js that fetched the correct script and changed all URLs inside of it from mycomp.mytrack.com to foo.mycompany.com. Our service than acted as a proxy to mycomp.mytrack.com.

Announcing Jupyter Notebooks on AI Cheatsheets – Free 10 Notebook Hours
Hi Everyone,

The last two months have been hectic for us as we have been working on Jupyter Notebooks for our AI Cheatsheets portal. Two months back, I felt, we need a portal for beginners with tools to learn data science and machine learning. Sometimes, beginners struggle to acquire resources and tools they need to learn data science and machine learning.

Finally, we are happy to announce the release of Jupyter Notebooks on our AI Cheatsheets portal. Now you can launch Jupyter Notebooks for your data science needs.

We are providing 600 free credits which are equal to 10 Notebook hours. After you use 600 credits, you can request us for a customized package with more credits.

Visit us at https://www.aicheatsheets.com

We are working on a few more cheatsheets as promised and will release them soon.

Also, help us by submitting your valuable feedback.

Disclaimer: Jupyter Notebooks are in the Beta phase and you might face issues while creating or using notebooks.

We have tried our best to make the experience as smooth as possible. In case of any issues, reach out to us at aicheatsheets@gmail.com
I can't reach `]` without moving my hands from the home row. Nor can I reliably find it using my weakest finger without looking down. Then after I've used it, I must re-home my hands before continuing. Don't even get me started on = and +...

But on my Planck, I press both of my thumbs down in their resting positions and the home row suddenly becomes

[{( )}]

(with the round parens under my index fingers).

Can't get much more seamless than.
I guess it's a lesson. Never personally invest yourself into any company, since - as just a foot soldier - you have zero control over the events.

Even if you have a chance to get your walkaway money, it's just a job. They pay you for your skills and your talent, not your personal life. Be involved, be professional, care, but do not get personally attached.

What you bring from a job is learning experience and new friendships, but the job itself should be viewed as a pretty ephemeral concept. Never fall for the "we are a family" line - it's incredibly hard to be fired from a "family".
Apple launching ‘Apple Music for Business’ to provide music to retail stores
As a full time 40% keyboard user, I take issue with the sentiment that the form factor is impractical for development. Holding a layer modifier to access symbols on the home row is less work than moving to the far reaches of a 101 key board, and often having to hit shift as well anyway!

Nothing strange, you just spend more time processing information than average people.

My mental model is that any point the brain is dividing its resources between execution of current events and processing old events. If it spends too much time processing old events then it has no resources over to properly execute in the now.

When this happens some people just drop the unprocessed tasks from the queue to free up resources while others (like me and you) starts experiencing immense stress forcing us to drop what we are currently doing instead.

One way is not the other, sometimes I wish that I could execute better in the now but sometimes others wish that their brains didn't automatically drop important experiences without properly processing them first.

How to fix this? One way is ADD medication, increasing your dopamine forces your brain to focus on the now and drop old packets. It helps me execute better but I definitely become less creative and have a harder time remembering what I did when I took them. I might feel more creative when I'm on them, but most of those thoughts will be gone without a trace since they weren't properly processed.
knowing how to do some highly advanced tech thing and building a successful sustainable business are orthogonal skills. It is very common for somebody in one camp to overlook this.

That's not cooking, that's following instructions. It's like saying that you can learn programming by opening Visual Studio, clicking "new console project", typing in printf("hello world\n"); in between the braces and hitting play is "programming". It kind of is, but you've learnt nothing.

With the pork steak how long is "wait awhile"? 10 seconds? 60 seconds? 10 minutes? All of those yield completely different results, and only once you've had plenty of experience cooking pork steaks, you will be able to judge what "wait awhile" is. Also you missed adding some salt and pepper to the steak - without those it just tastes like....unseasoned meat. Which is ok if that's what you want, but I doubt many people do. But you need to somehow know that salt and pepper are things that you would normally add to a pork steak, but not cinammon or sugar.

I think the only way to "learn" cooking is repetition, repetition and repetition. Not going to do a lot of that in an hour unfortunately.

If these first party ads are just showing me some sponsored message, then I'm totally ok with that. It's the tracking and arbitrary execution of third party code that drives me to block ads. And if a site has a truly awful first party ad experience and I can't block it? I'll probably stop using it, because I don't use sites that frustrate me if I don't have to.
> unblockable ads delivered through first party and using obfuscated techniques like canvas or webassembly

When I said basically the same thing 4 years ago[1], most people seemed to think it wasn't a serious concern or could be easily bypassed. However, after observing how certain types of businesses use the World Wide Web over the past 3 decades, it's obvious what they want: to send an opaque binary blob to the user that nobody can investigate or modify, that gives them full control over what the user sees and is allowed to do. Just like TV.

The only safe response to this is to stop allowing documents (or docs with 3270-styole forms) to embed software in a Turing complete language. Add functionality that is used declaritively, or the answer to "should this be blocked" is undecidable. Give them the ability to run a Turing complete language that renders to a canvas, and adblocking becomes a hard image recognition problem (or requires solving the Halting Problem).

I actually don't have too much experience in cooking, but with every meal I make I get better. Cooking is not programming. Some of the best meals I actually made were made without precise measurements, just by gut, sometimes in a hurry. Sure, I might have measured things by the gram the first time I made them, but on next attempt the closest 20g or 30g is more than enough. Oven 45 minutes? Sure, but it looks brown already and it has only been 35, just pull it out.

> Call me cynical, but I think a lot of the small style keyboards I see around the office are more of a fashion trend than anything.

I believe it part of the human ability to experiment, to optimize, to research, trying out something different, or perhaps more negatively to be discontent with current options you know and going for the mentioned solution.

It is a matter of optimization, and using the freedom you have to experiment. What you want to optimize for, depends on your concerns. Weight, size, ergonomics, aesthetics, modability.

For example, I like having Bluetooth on a device like a keyboard, but I also like the ability to turn it off, and barely use it. Because USB is usually good enough. I'm cool if this adds a little bit in size/weight. You might not be cool with that. Hence, we get choice.

> This makes no sense because the colored keys imply you enjoy looking at your keys and their unlabeled nature implies that you don’t need to look at your keys while you type. i.e. a fashion trend.

The purpose of showing the values is (initial) learning curve, and reminder.

Unlabeled has a different purpose: if you (sometimes) assign a different key layout, assign different keybinds which depends on factors (such as the language you type in, OS or program you use, or location you're at) then it is useful. Also, that part of the keyboard is not going to have worn use, and the resale value might be higher. On top of that, the designer does not have to cater to all kind of weird/different niche layouts.

I do agree I am not a big fan of colored LED keyboard, but it might look pretty if you assign it certain colours and have your computer idle.

It is a common form of corporate fraud this was mentioned when few years back I did a "serious" course on Hr/Ir issues - serious as it will end up in court.

I have a different, but related dream: for construction companies to be allowed to build anywhere they please, as long as they meet safety regulations. This way real estate prices in NYC, SF, etc, etc, will descend from the skies, and normal people from all over the country could move in. And move in they would, because that's where the jobs are. Only the damn high rent (and damn high cost of living) keeps them outside of the main metropolitan areas. And then we'd have exactly what you say, natural majesty flourish.
It is not, on its own, a workaround. Cookies are still separate, and any foolproof online correlation call must go through the browser and can be blocked.

Not going through the browser is possible but requires trust between organizations; publishers have an incentive to inflate numbers, and trust has so far been lacking (and rightly so). That may change.
And the people who are losing their mind due to lack of money lose again.
WebAssembly can still be detected; the filepath or subdomain can be blocked as normal (would already work) and optionally you can run a fingerprinting method similar to AVs to detect scripts similar to trackers.

Oh yes, they are failing, and I can explain you why. We are in a deadlock in my country regarding elected representatives because the baby boomers vote and they are in greater number than us youngs, so the policy will always be conservative and economically liberal. Basically old conservatives control our future even if they have less life remaining than us on this Earth. (That's how I conceived a new democratic process by the way - amount of votes = number of years remaining in your life expectancy. Maybe a first solution offered to you to give younglings a chance about their future ?). Democracies do have power, but they lack a lot of will.

Add to that lobbies and economic agents controlling elected officials so they keep believing in the eternal growth lullaby, and yes - they ARE failing to implement laws that curtail CO2 emissions by rich people/powerful corporations.
I really don't see how that's surprising or subject to debate - everything observable around us is in favor of this argument.

I'm not taking a moral high ground, the problem is systemic and I don't accuse anyone in particular. Rich people, not above the law ? Yeah... I won't answer that because I don't believe it to be true, but I cannot formally prove it.

Oh we do have solutions but you wouldn't like those. Carbon taxes, unlawful to eat meat besides on weekends, mandatory carbon offset of long-distance and/or plane trips, unlawful to advertise in public spaces and I have a whole lot more for you - but they will never get implemented ;)

I agree, but given enough incentive these barriers can be overcome. I thing these are signs that ad-blocking is becoming sufficiently painful to provide that incentive.
Naive question: if media.liberation.fr is a CNAME to a 3rd party ad tracker, why not simply add liberation.fr to the uBO list?

Machine learning really almost nothing in common with most types of human learning. The only type of learning that has similarities is associative learning (think Pavlovs dogs studies).

The human learning situation you describe works quite differently, though: The student sees either the device alone or the teacher using the device to demonstrate its functionality. This is the moment most of the actual learning happens: The student creates internal concepts of the device and its interactions with the surroundings. As a result the student can immediately use the decive more or less correctly. What's left is just some finetuning of parameters like movement vectors, movement speed, applied pressure etc.

If the student would work like ML, it would: hold the device in random ways, like on the cord, the disc, the actual grip. After a bunch of right/wrong responses she would settle on using the grip mostly. Then (or in parallel) the student would try out random surfaces to use the device on: the own hand (wrong), the face of the teacher (wrong), the wall (wrong), the wood (right), the table (wrong) etc. After a bunch of retries she would settle on using the device on the wood mostly.

It's easy to overlook the actual cognitive accomplishments
of us humans in menial tasks like this one because most of it happens unconsciously. It's not the "I" that is creating the cognitive concepts.
