Personally I am of the opinion that one should always consider the knowledge one gathers similarly to the food one eats and the friends one keeps. One burger doesn’t make you fat, nor does one bad friend make you criminal. But we’d better make conscious decisions lest we’ll be a 200kg drug dealing gang member who believes the earth is flat.
I’m thankful every day for getting into programming early enough to know that the adults saying “programming is like math” were full of shit. No career could be less appealing than cranking arithmetic, polynomials, integrals, and derivatives for 8 hours day in and day out, which is of course what “math” means when you’re in K12. If it were introduced to me in that context and by teachers with that mindset, I wouldn’t be here.

>Even given all that, Sony TVs are probably still the tamest smart TVs out there.

The article seems to say Vizio TVs are better for your privacy than other TVs. The article says Vizio TVs describe ARC in 100 words and people must select accept or decline.

That page you linked to says

>However, you can accept or decline Sony's Bravia privacy policy, as well as one for Samba TV, the ACR technology Sony uses. You have to scroll through the entire Bravia policy before you'll see the options for turning off various data-gathering features, including Sony Smart TV Services, Program Recommendations, Product Improvements, and Advertisements, as well as Samba TV.

This sounds like a harder process.

I love that article, it changed a lot of my thinking regarding people's potential for success. Woz has a lot of other articles you might also find interesting here: https://supermemo.guru/wiki/SuperMemo_Guru. I've especially read through a lot of his articles on sleep and memory and found them invaluable.

SuperMemo's interface was not designed with the beginner in mind. When I first started trying it even basic operations frustrated me to no end. But now that I use it as a high(er) level user, it feels very very intuitive and you start to understand why it was designed in a way that looks so unappealing at first. If you do decide to try it again, I would highly recommend joining the SM discord server (https://discordapp.com/invite/pB7jcSK). There are a lot of very helpful people there.

Aesthetically, Aero is a phenomenal display of bad taste, that we'd all better forget.

When I see this kind of comment, I wonder if the commenter has actually used Windows 10 for any non-trivial amount of time.
Reserving any judgment on this specific action, I just note that it's all consistent with how Singapore has treated this in the past. From Lee Kuan Yew's autobiography:

> My early experiences in Singapore and Malaya shaped my views about the claim of the press to be the defender of truth and freedom of speech. The freedom of the press was the freedom of its owners to advance their personal and class interests.

(There follow a few examples of rich individuals forming their own newspapers, to push their preferred politics.)

> In the 1980s, Western-owned English-language publications became a significant presence in Singapore. [...] We have always banned communist publications; no Western media or media organization has ever protested against this. We have not banned any Western newspaper or journal. Yet they frequently refused us the right of reply when they misrepresented us. We decided in 1986 to enact a law to restrict the sale or distribution of foreign publications that had engaged in the domestic politics of Singapore. One of our tests for "engaging in the politics of Singapore" was whether, after they had misreported or slanted stories on Singapore, they refused to publish our reply. We did not ban them, only restricted the number of copies they sold. [...] This would reduce their advertising revenue but did not stop their reports from circulating. They could not accuse us of being afraid to have their reports read.

> Singapore's domestic debate is a matter for Singaporeans. [...] We cannot allow [American journalists] to assume a role in Singapore that the American media play in America. [...] Indeed, America's Federal Communications Commission regulations bar foreigners from owning more than 25 percent of a TV or radio station. Only Americans can control a business which influences opinion in America.

> Advanced in information technology, satellite broadcasting, and the Internet will enable Western media networks to saturate our domestic audience with their reports and views. Countries that try to block the use of IT will lose. We have to learn to manage this relentless flood of information so that the Singapore government's point of view is not smothered by the foreign media.

The memoir is incredibly prescient. Many of the policy debates held in Singapore in the 1980s mirror those held in America over the last three years, as we start to face a tiny fraction of the threats they dealt with daily. I wouldn't be surprised if the very same people who flaunt moral superiority over places like Singapore end up being the ones who take us in the exact same direction.
When I was in elementary school, back when dinosaurs roamed, my grade 7 class did the entire Microsoft Works (for DOS) tutorial application. This was designed for adults but it was a fully interactive tutorial on how use the word processor, spreadsheet, and database components of Works. It took several weeks of 1 hour-per-week computing lab classes to finish.

I was already pretty tech-savvy in those days but that was still one of the best things I learned as a kid computer-wise. The fundamental principles of a spreadsheet has never changed and I learned it as a 12 year old.

Yep, I'm familiar with that post and largely agree. I personally love books as a learning tool but I've personally not learnt nearly as much about programming from reading compared with 'doing'.

The content-feed I'm aiming towards certainly includes books because they're essential to really understanding certain things, but won't be just concerned with reading material.

The key to supporting goal-orientation is some notion of scheduling, requisites, and knowledge-evaluation. This system should not at all be limited to books. My early prototype will include flash-cards, articles, programming koans, and Leetcode problems.

> So while this looks like a great resource - Who's it for?

Undergraduates, or graduate students who didn't happen to take the right prerequisites. Most STEM degrees require vector calculus, but few require matrix calculus. A physics undergrad might see matrix calculus if they studied general relativity, or math undergrad interested in optimization or differential geometry. A statistics major might have seen it when working with multivariate distributions and regression. But it would be easy to miss.

Nevertheless, matrix calculus, which is not in fact a large subject, but only some new notation and a handful of theorems, is the key to understanding back-propagation. It's not the only way to approach it - you could just keep track of all those subscripts and indices - but it's one of the best. The differential form[1] is particularly good to learn because it maps almost 1-1 onto the error terms in a gradient descent implementation.

> So it’s for people that have been getting into DL but also haven’t bothered or needed to look up the math concepts?

Everyone has to start somewhere. The usual pedagogical technique to teach a subject twice: once at an "undergraduate" level, omitting the technical details of proofs, with the goal of providing a big picture intuitive understanding of the subject and some practical symbol pushing ability; then again at the "graduate" level, with more formal definitions and detailed proofs. Your own education presumably used this structure, no? Even if you've already graduated, this "two pass" approach to learning new material is still a good idea. Few of us are von Neumann, able to dive immediately into the deepest depths of theory in a new field: we can all benefit from taking the time to develop some good intuitions first.

This is where all textbooks come from - a lecturer presents the material the way that seems clearest to them. They prepare notes to keep everything straight in their own head. Sometimes they find that their presentation resonates with students and is superior to what's currently available, so they start to develop their notes into something publishable. Most such projects get abandoned before too long, but many end up in some form on the internet, and a few go on to be developed into standard texts. As long as you can find even one new way to explain things that helps students, the exercise is not in vain.
You could argue that with f=1 there is zero sized logs and thus no wear.
Tell the founders you’re burned out and need to take 2 weeks off.

The insidious thing about burnout is you can’t think clearly when you’re burned out. I’ve been heavily burned out twice and I can relate to just wanting to work in a bar or something but after a couple weeks off you’ll be able to think clearly again. Worst case it’s 2 weeks of paid leave before you quit, best case you come back grateful for the opportunity and recharged.

Your team lead sounds like a pain in the ass, the founders would probably get rid of them instead of you if you gave them an ultimatum but my advice would be to take time out before you do anything rash.

Good luck!

I am the same, but with Python and C# flipped, as my projects usually grow waaay beyond what can be comfortably sustained with Python. IMHO, refactoring tools are nice to have for anything beyond 1,000 lines, and a must for anything beyond 10,000.
The editions were a bad idea. And worse they led to completely shutting down the idea of a Rust 2.0 which dumps all the flawed ideas for which better solutions have been found. So they have to work twice as hard to continue maintaining code to support features that people shouldn't be using anymore anyway. If dropping support for unmaintained crates lead to an ecosystem where one could reasonably integrate crates one wants to use together that'd be way better than the situation we currently have where old crates still compile but nothing agrees on the proper way to do anything and a large number of crates can't update to the new idioms because they need to remain minimally usable in relation to slow moving or abandoned crates.

Paul's got a point there. Remember for a while they kept telling us that boy skirts were becoming the norm. Other than the occasional and very rare Utilikilt that I saw in one season and never again since, nope, there was no "norm" attributed to boy skirts.

But they kept hammering at it for a few years, and even had a few male runway models wearing boy-skirts. You still never see them out in the wild. A lot has to change before you will.

This is the other use of the term "social engineering." It doesn't always work. But it is always obvious in hindsight.

I wonder how much carbon this plant sequesters, the interesting thing about "Invasive" plants is they are typically very successful or veral. 50 million years ago Azolla cleaned up the atmosphere by removing most of the Co2 then sinking to the seafloor of the Artic ocean. There are plenty of non native plants that have both good and bad properties. My personal favorite is the hymilayen black berry, it produces tons of fruit and works better than barbed wire to keep trespassers out and livestock in, sure it chokes out native berry plants but just because something was there first doesnt mean its better. Turning a problem into a solution is the key to life, don't waste time and engery trying to keep the world the same, instead adapt, evolve and count your blessings.
Not saying I agree with it but Quebec's only official language is French so it doesn't have to offer services in English at all. This is just a case of granting special privileges to a certain group of people based on historical factors, as is the case with indigenous peoples.

There are the pre- and post-execution exonerations [0] which are some good striking examples with human interest stories behind them. But really pick up a stack of court records proved to a substantial-evidence standard but not a beyond-a-reasonable-doubt standard. Bunch of those are going to be situations where a it looks like something happened but actually a different thing happened.

There simply isn't a formal way of determining truth. If there was it'd be in use somewhere. All the processes that work best are ones where decisions are made in a fair process where evidence is invoked, but there isn't a reasonable argument that evidence always paints an accurate picture. It simply can't. There is no process that gets all the decisions right; evidence based decision making is not enough.

If it turned out courts correctly identified the truth 80% of the time when working through cases I'd be impressed. And that is where we have formal experts doing their best with controls against bias and the potential to have independent judges making decisions. The best legal standard we have is 'beyond reasonable doubt' - I've been in plenty of situations where that standard would accept a bad conclusion; eminently reasonable people who try to make good, thoroughly considered decisions still make mistakes. Reasonable people were once extremely sexist and racist; for an easy example. For something as wide-ranging as political truth there is simply no hope.

Mating strategies: A new theory argues Homosexual behavior is evolutionary norm
I've been in other situations where I've burned out, and am still recovering years later, kind of lost and disenchanted with tech in general. However, you sound mostly like your work is under-appreciated, so maybe you're not getting whatever reward you might have been hoping for, and that you're sacrificing yourself for no purpose. In my opinion, if you sacrifice yourself for some other goal, it better be tangible and worthwhile to you or someone else personally. A company is a company, and mostly that's not worth sacrificing yourself for. My recommendation is one of two things.

1) Take a sabbatical. Explain the situation to the founders, and go fuck off to wherever you want for 3-6 months. It would be unpaid, but you'd have something to return to and re-evaluate. If they don't seem accommodating, then fuck them, quit and work in a bar.

2) Quit and go work in a bar or go back to school. It only takes one burnout to realize most stuff isn't really that interesting anyway. Find some people to hang with and re-evaluate your social life if it sucks.
Also all the individual effects get exponentially amplified when dealing with orgs/groups/teams being hit by/creating their own info tsunamis.
"Yes, I think that's right - we have 20,000 lumens in our office and it is pretty cool, except you can't see your screen when it's up all the way."

Can you elaborate ? 20k lumens doesn't seem like that much ...

I see residential interior decorating guidelines at about 20 lumens per square foot for non-intense areas like living rooms[1], etc., which implies a 1000 sf office (smallish) conservatively lit with 20k lumens.

I just put 11k lumens of background lighting in a 400sf living room and I am worried it's a bit under-lit, given 12 foot ceilings.

I think that perhaps you are talking about something different than I think you are ?
