You want to search for "literate programming". I'm a big fan of it, and working on a post overviewing available options for it. Stay tuned :)
The problem is that the alternatives are not attracting consumers. There are "call taxis" which take around 5% commission and are considered as the relatively better alternative by the drivers. There are several strikes against Uber and Ola by the drivers in the last few months.

Drivers can leave Uber/Ola only if the Consumers also do.

Evolutionary psychology may be the worst example of this. Or large areas of economics. Or the political implications of climate science.
Yes, but these 'real news' as we could call them, will probably have a legal requirement to be posted on a government-owned source also (and I'm assuming this source would be free of twisted profit incentives). So, still not required to immerse yourself in the constant stream of noise and manipulation that is 'the news'.
Federal spending is just shy of twelve billion as of 2014 plus an additional twenty-six billion [0] ,and has likely increased since then. Private funding is harder to measure. I also think there's a case to be made that many people are "integrating backwards", looking for a specific answer and finding the research to justify that. This always happens when an issue is politicized, and this issue is undoubtedly politicized.

By contrast I've managed a self-hosted install a while back, upgrades regularly broke as much as they fixed. For example the time when LDAP logins all failed, the gitlab-pages stopped working, and more.

That's on top of the constant UI churn with the side-menu, and similar changing from release to release with no rhyme or reason.

>giving up on consuming news because everything might be biased is simply lazy

Not at all; it's a valid strategy. The events and the state of the world can be deduced from observing the (near) past just as well as from reading the news, perhaps even better. A person can stay reasonably well informed by skipping on the news, and instead observing actual events, actual outcomes, that is the (near) history. Both in person and through social circles, in particular friends and family. You could call it "the slow way" of getting the news.

As noted in OP and elsewhere in discussion, the news are rife with misinformation. It follows news listeners, subject to the misinformation, end up with various misconceptions and strong emotions, thus prone to doing things no well informed person would do. Having a sizable segment of population not subject to the news, and instead informed via others means is a natural counter-balance, a safety mechanism against single mindedness imparted by the centralized news.
Certain things are definitely false, but in attractive ways. If you don't have a process for getting them out of public decision making you end up making policy based on Protocols of the Elders of Zion or the 21st century garbage equivalent.
And there aren't always "two sides" to an issue; there are arguments made in bad faith and those in good faith and it's hard to tell the difference.

Why are Americans’ lives getting shorter?
Well that's short sighted. It's because of this flawed logic that a lot of Americans think they have the best education/healthcare in the World.

Just now that they started to look at what is happening elsewhere that they are starting to understand what they are lacking.

Here is the thing, and it works for everything in life: Knowing a thing is almost always better than not knowing it, even if it is not clear what use to make of it.

This said knowing what is happening near you is also very important.

I agree and there will always be bias in news, intentional or not.

There is the argument that if people were equipped with the skills to identify bias in reporting themselves then these news sources would not be able to operate as effectively and with as much influence as they do today.

For example, in Swedish schools children are actively taught to identify and evaluate biases in news sources as a way to filter false reporting [1].

It we start giving children the toolbox required to live in our (real) world of imperfect reporting then the impact of biased news sources might be neutralized in a generation.

Agreed, nobody's perfect.

My experience with github is much better though on average. Haven't had a single bad experience personally the past year for my personal stuff. Not once.
Github does only one thing, the CI is usually somewhere else so there have less reasons to fail as well... It might be comparing apples and oranges.

We use Gitlab at the office and it is constantly slow. Might be our setup I agree, but in the end it also tarnishes the brand to me.

All in all, my general experience is that speed and stability has degraded over the past years, in favor of the 'whole in one devops pipeline'. Github stayed focus on its core market.

> How can you know what news is real

It's actually easier to tell today whether something is fake because there are more outlets to determine an intersection within.

Here's how you do it:

Read both CNN and Fox. If something is reported on both, it's real. For stories that exist on both, notice the slant of each story. Pay attention to emotive conjugation [1] and ask yourself these three questions:

1. Why did the editors pick this story?

2. What is their opinion of it and the actors in it?

3. What stories are not being reported because the editors are not interested in them.

There is nothing that Ukraine can do to prevent you from visiting Crimea, except punishing you later if they know somehow. So they have no real power or influence over peninsula.
> Likewise support Green New Deal politicians in the US and elsewhere.

If we are really trying to avert climate change, how is spending trillions on labor unions and guaranteed jobs going to help?

If this was the plot of the movie Armageddon, and there was an asteroid hurtling towards earth, would your planned respond spend pages talking about unions, wealth inequality, indigenous people, and guaranteed healthcare, jobs, and housing? If climate change is really imminent and existential threat that requires “war time mobilization” then how can we afford to water down our response with these tangential things?

Under the Green New Deal you’d spend trillions more a year on healthcare, housing, etc. For that money you could buy up the major oil companies like Exxon (market cap $300 billion) and keep the oil in the ground. You could make the US carbon neutral using existing or near-term CO2 recapture technology. You could bankroll India and China to keep their fossil fuels in the ground and build out fully renewable capacity. You could invest in renewables technology, nuclear, carbon capture at the same time. If you sincerely believed that climate change was an existential crisis, why would you divert 90%+ of the force of the “war time mobilization” on social programs?

In my view, the Green new deal has done incalculable damage to the environmental movement. It is a transparent and cynical attempt to piggy-back traditional left wing politics onto the environmental movement, undermining its credibility and seriousness.
It's somewhat ironic that you can't even trust this article. There's an obvious bias towards a "power struggle" view of the world's problems. The issue with the current state of affairs is essentially assumed to be because of billionaires and corporate consolidation. The solution presented is then to give more power to the people. Neither point is substantiated by fact.

One could just as easily argue that the state of the media is due to a failure to adapt to the internet in which blogs, Twitter, and social media become peoples primary source of information. So the "power of the people" could have in fact caused this issue. This also being a conjecture.

The only point in this article that is well substantiated is that trust in media is low and I feel this article is perfectly on trend.
News organisations are generally pretty badly paid at the moment.

Authoritarianism has its share of opposing forces too, I would wager. The vassals-clients are trying to switch places with the lords-patrons, and the patrons have to neutralize those attempts. A lot of work is wasted on policing: watching the suspects and watching the watchers.
Reading a bit more, it's really interesting that your result relies on Lemma G.4, which is a CLT based on independence or mixing (as you wish), whereas all theorems assume that anything put in is Gaussian.

It "smells" like that is, or should not be necessary.

The elegance of this approach, and GP in general, is that you use scale and independence and get to a specific distribution.
Therefore, assuming that inputs are Gaussian seems restrictive. In some appropriate sense, it should not be required.

But again, I am probably misreading something.

What I would be looking for as a referee is:
"Based on ANY random initialization (mild independence condition), it holds that wide networks become Gaussian"
> ... prescriptions expire so quickly ...

This is happening as we speak, in the past couple of years, I've visited Poland, Russia, Ukraine, Egypt, Brazil, and Turkey for meeting with senior software engineers primarily.

In Ukraine for example, knowledge workers working remotely for US and Western European companies are actually one of the highest-earning social groups. Same for Egypt, Brazil, Russia, and Turkey. Local economies are benefiting from the USD flow and more importantly, the knowledge/experience flow.

I genuinely believe that there's no such thing as "engineers/designers/etc from X country is better than Y". There are only skilled individuals and the competition for hiring them will be brutal in the next 5 years.

Five years ago, it was almost impossible to find a great software engineer from emerging markets for a remote position. They were literally asking "are you guys some sort of Nigerian scam?" People started to believe that working remotely is actually possible and paying much better than their shitty local average.

I must say, I really enjoy your smart questions, thanks for the great convo buddy.

I posted this because I have noticed many people aren't aware TensorFlow can run on AMD gpus. When informed, a common response is how well does it work?

This GitHub issue provides answers to both those questions with respect to the latest major release of TensorFlow. (Admittedly just a single benchmark data point, but better than nothing.)

For wind turbines at least there's a bit of a difference, as those kill larger birds than cats, in smaller numbers, but those birds also have smaller populations. So just looking at the numbers without knowing the birds and their total populations, makes things hard to compare or judge.
That would give syntactic ambiguity, since the => operator is also used to separate keys and values in array notation.
It's popular indeed.

It gives you a well rounded OS with a Unix terminal. I think MacOS is more consistent than Windows or Linux with a better attention to details (though I haven't used Linux for almost a decade so things might have changed a bit) which make it more pleasant to use.

Also, the previous generation of Macbook Pros was just really good, sturdy hardware. Hopefully the new update will fix the flaws of the new design.

Lastly, a lot of people get laptops from their company, and companies don't mind a one time extra cost of a few hundred dollars.

I'm currently writing this from a Dell laptop, and I have to say, while the hardware has caught up with the Macbooks in terms of build quality, I still miss MacOS.

I hate to bring my OSX mentality into this... but I have no idea

OSX just has a set of "zoom" levels that let me make everything smaller or bigger in a very "fractional scaling-like" way (intermediate levels are between 100% and 200%) , and it works perfectly.

And it's not like just the font changes, it scales every type of UI element perfectly implemented with every type of UI toolkit

I know part of it is rendering to a frame buffer that's larger than the physical screen's resolution and scaling that, it might just be oversampling enough to not lose visual information when scaled back down.

But that's the beauty of HiDPI in OSX, I have literally never spent a single brain cycle trying to learn how it works, because for me as a user it's easy (just hit the size looks right), and for me as a developer it's seamless (just add 2x assets).

To be fair, Over the last 5 years, I've been hit by several Github outages and never been hit with a Gitlab outage. The reason? I don't use Gitlab during my working day. Similarly with this one, I wasn't doing anything on Gitlab when it went down.
Perhaps "surprising" is the wrong word, but this absolutely is the problem; billionaire-owned "news" organisations able to propagandise with very little opposition. Although the question of who the staff class is also important; people have started to notice that the (publicly owned!)

Being informed is hard. Now, I'd be talking about the spanish speaking-sphere, but I guess some of this may apply to the US too.

Every time I want to dig in a subject it always comes down to this:

1. If the topic has scientific coverage, try to find meta-analysis. If there isn't any the field has a high chance of lacking ground truth. Sadly you need at least statistics knowledge to know where are you getting into, and some times this isn't enough because domain knowledge is a must. Some words may be used in a different meaning than you're used to.

2. If there isn't any scientific coverage, try to find specialized sources. Most of them are not open access though.

3. If your only resource is main stream media or internet outlets, then try to balance out different approaches. This is a very hard task because the amount of noise is staggering. It's not only agendas but journalist really doing a poor/cheap/lazy work or a combination of them all.

If you happen to know a domain, then try to avoid anything other than specialized media upwards, because you'll get angry or at least you won't believe how weird some realities are depicted to the general public.

It's also a good exercise to read info that doesn't reinforce your beliefs, try to break the famous "eco chamber", it's probably the only way to not become an idiot, even if you know the truth from first hand, because it's useful to know what people are being told to think and how some other people can reach other conclusions.

This blogpost propagates what I'd like to describe as an urban legend about baseband processors and main memory.
