Very true. I always feel like that when people’s first recommendation for a problem is to get a lawyer. For a lot of people this is prohibitively expensive.
I am definitely going to read this!
So, funny story: I wanted #2 and did it myself. I was similarly frustrated with the lack of documentation.

It's been a little while since I got it running, but I basically got a siri clone working. If you want to test it out, I can try to answer questions / whatever problems pop up.

The code is here: https://github.com/shawwn/DeepSpeech/commit/01f5cf8d39c356ae...

As far as I know, you can simply run speech_to_text.sh. It will connect to your microphone and start dumping out transcribed audio to stdout.

It wasn't super easy, but once you spend a little time with the code you can sort of figure out ways to get it to do what you want.

EDIT: By the way, people will try to convince you that you're nuts and that the documentation is crystal clear and so on. Know this: It's not just you. I had the exact same experience. It's a recurring theme in AI programming.

The only thing to do is to either find someone else who feels similarly, or roll up your sleeves and dive into the code.
Most countries solve that issue by separating the high speed rail lines from the land much better than you would bother with low speed rail. A mind boggling amount of infrastructure goes into separating the Shinkansen from the rest of the world. Hundreds of kilometers of it is raised up on bridges, the rest is inside tunnels or strongly fenced off by wire fences or concrete walls. No level crossings either.

I imagine part of the design of the front of the trains is also to minimize damage by deflecting impacts. Although I think the major design drive for their long noses is entering and exiting tunnels without creating sonic booms and air pressure issues for passengers.
Is there evidence to suggest that those systems are more effective at finding the truth, or delivering justice?
The text of the MIT licence specifies that:

They are refuting the prior point -- that if the accused had been silent (when asked questions in the transcript) it would have looked like they were guilty. So this point is -- in U.S. it wouldn't, because they wouldn't even be discussing the transcript. (IANAL and have no idea of the accuracy, just clarifying the argument).
With the current wealth-tax proposals by Warren and Sanders. the owner first of all would probably owe zero wealth tax unless she was worth more than $32 million, or $50 million for Warren. I doubt any local cupcake businesses are worth anywhere close to that much.

Second, an actual business of that size would probably be owned by some other corporate entity created for that purpose, not an individual, and that entity would be paying its own taxes.

Finally, Warren and Sanders both plan on beefing up the IRS to answer these kinds of questions, which will certainly be thorny for some kinds of assets.
I'd phrase it differently: think what will it won't happen if you reorder the tasks, and how long it will take to achieve.

Mind that both are estimates and can change.

> if you have an alibi then you should tell that to the Police as soon as practical.

Do not take this advice. Talk to a lawyer.

If you have an alibi, you can tell your alibi to a lawyer, and your lawyer can communicate your alibi to the police before you go to trial. You won't be wasting anyone's time, you'll just be giving the police the same evidence through someone who is trained to talk to police officers, and isn't going to accidentally say something that's misinterpreted or twisted to turn your life into a nightmare.

If you are being suspected of a crime, it doesn't matter if you're innocent -- the police are not your friends.

Sure if done by actual facts and economic or climate advantages. Using it as a basis to spin against hydro or wind - i.e. to prove they are unviable just makes a complete mockery of his claims. TL;DR He lies about it and makes shit up, repeatedly, in all his pieces. What's he afraid of?

Nuclear should stand on the reality of the proposition, and indeed should have a place in any low carbon solution if done properly.
You're right, the current taxation systems are already very complex. Governments have done a very good job at obfuscating the tax burden. Sales taxes (VAT), income taxes, and payroll taxes are all largely the same thing - they are all essentially dependent on your income to some degree. If we added all of them together into one income tax (or sales tax) then people would probably find high taxation a bigger issue, but because people encounter these taxes one by one the problem doesn't seem as big. Although, I will say that this issue is much less of a problem in the US, where the tax burden is lower than in Europe.

>While that might undermine the argument about America being a protector of liberties, I think it would be a mistake to believe that there is no belief held at all, or that America does not continue to fight for these beliefs.

What are these "liberties" and "beliefs" of which you speak? I'm an American and think the place is run by lunatics and mafiosos and has been for my entire life. It's more obvious now, and the lunatics are vastly less competent and more ham handed and corrupt.

NATO was there to keep the Russians out and the Germans down. I don't support this organization at all in current year; it is simply a tool of US imperialism, and is spectacularly dangerous as US power fades and they add more shitty non-countries to it so some ding dong from Georgetown can win an award.
In ancient Egyptian hieroglyphs, the phonetic sign for the S sound was a vertical bar bent around at its top end:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transliteration_of_Ancient_Egy...

Apparently it's officially called "folded cloth", U+132F4.

I wonder if there's an actual lineage here, or if it's just a coincidence that the S sound is represented as a curved vertical bar across millennia.
I guess you are in a good situation. My work often keeps me very busy but almost nothing of it is meaningful or challenging. It’s mainly just a repeat of the same thing.
> I suspect the victim here is the US (since the money should be going there instead of some tax haven) and not individual EU member states.

"An unexpected conclusion from Hines-Rice was that: low foreign tax rates [from tax havens] ultimately enhance U.S. tax collections; by paying little/no foreign taxes, U.S. multinationals had avoided building up foreign tax credits; the 15.5% Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 levy would prove this finding again in 2017"

Are you speaking of foreign citizens illegally gaining access to the United States? Which are placed in camps (call them concentration camps if you will but they in no way resemble what China is doing to the Uyghurs, i.e. a true concentration camp). And once in these camps they are processed for asylum, refugee status, etc? Yes, they may be stuck in these ‘horrifying’ camps which is not where they want to be. But they need to be vetted before entry into the US. And consider they are not being brainwashed against their ideals and religion as is happening in China.

One interesting trick about only using pen and paper, is that your Handwriting becomes like a quick indicator to your state of mind.

If I'm taking notes and they come out like chicken scratch it means I'm usually too agitated and just rushing. Even just writing slower doesn't help. You basically have to actively relax yourself, breathe in/out, and collected yourself.
The concept of residence no longer makes any sense when a company is just a pile of associate shell companies across the globe and its residence is whatever tax haven lets them pay the least.

Maybe instead of retaliatory tariffs, we should try to actually tax the massive tax evading tech giants in the USA properly.
I think this is a more complicated question that it first appears. What do you mean by leadership? Getting things done for some strict definition? Managing a team? Managing a huge enterprise? I think reading books across the spectrum of leadership and management is critical, as each gives you some feeling of the underlying “truth” that you’re trying to find.

I think the best book on the topic as I think you mean it is High Output Management by Andy Grove. It’s a classic. Incredibly well written. Direct.

From there, I’d actually take a pivot and read MCDP 1 Warfighting, which is concise, brilliant, generally applicable, and completely aligned with the thinking of Grove. Along the same lines, I’d consider reading about OODA (I like “Boyd: The Fighter Pilot Who Changed the Art of War” but not strictly necessary to read an entire biography). I think then you start to see that “Management” began to mean something particular in the post-war era for those who could see it, that it’s been lost in most organizations. Agile, lean, blah blah blah is all sort of derived from here.

Then get some conditioning on how it all goes wrong, for which I would suggest the classic “The Mythical Man-Month: Essays on Software Engineering”, which is generally applicable.

Then personally, I era toward thinking about organizations that have accomplished great things, so suggest “Creativity, Inc”, “Doing the Impossible: George E. Mueller & the Management of NASA's Human Spaceflight Program”, and books of those type.
The US Army has an exceptionally well-crafted field manual on leadership. No fluff, but also no chest-thumping. It's honestly the best resource I've ever seen on what constitutes a good leader, how good leaders are developed, and how good leaders develop their teams.

Being a DOD publication, it's in the public domain: https://usacac.army.mil/sites/default/files/misc/doctrine/CD...

I can't stress enough how excellent it is.

corporations benifit from state funded systems, so they should give back to the state. The state funds the streets they drive on, the internet they use computers first created by the government, they use are defended by copyright LAW that the government made to protect companies from copycats, they use money regulated by the government, they use employees that were educated (mostly) by the governemnt, smaller companies benifit from antitrust laws set by the government, corporations benifit from a standardized mail system run by the government, they use a regulated traffic system run by the government, they benifit from a police department run by the government, and so so much more. all these things are run by the government and funded by taxes. it's only fair that they pay their taxes and we need to crack down on tax evasion.
I’ve never touched a “real life” code base in a static language (including C#) where this wouldn’t be an issue. C# is not a sufficiently high level language that I can avoid duplication without the use of reflection.

> The difference is perhaps that US cops are more happy nailing any convenient person, while police elsewhere rather want to nail who actually did it, which of course does not mean they actually do.

This seems like gross assumption. I have no doubt there are plenty of genuinely good American cops who want to do what is right. But the bad cases of the entire nation float to the top of the newspapers/internet and give the impression that the whole country is this way.

I've yet to see actual statistics of wrong imprisonment rates in the US vs. EU. And I'm sure if you broke if down by state you'd find some states have even better cops than EU.
I didn't say don't talk to a lawyer first. You've imagined that part.

It is a fact full stop that a jury can hold it against you if you unreasonably delay giving important information - it's not my opinion.
You don't have to rush to have no spare time to think.
Single academics will likely not bother with Office365/Google, but University administrators are the ones buying enterprise software. In the past few years the trend has been for the central administration to push departments to give up their self-hosted mail servers and switch to Office365 (I have witnessed this at three different Universities). My guess is that something like SwiftLatex could sweeten the deal and convince the faculty to support some of these changes.

The point that a partisan attitude matters in a legal system is horrific to me. Laws should not be interpreted in personal bias, especially not by a, supposedly, impartial arbiter.

While true that almost anyone will have some bias, it should (in my view) never be considered in the entirety of the system let alone as a starting point for the highest judge.

> I doubt a very liberal or conservative community would want to be stuck with someone with opposing views.

A conservative with a liberal judge would want the judge to be impartial to their view on politics.
No one has made those claims, can you cite an instance?
I must have missed something, seeing extreme ownership praised so much but I stopped reading it after a chapter or so. The whole macho thing didn’t jive and I’m struggling to find parallels to ordinary life. Lives aren’t at stake for 99.9999% of work out there. The whole military hierarchy and all the idealization doesn’t exist in normal contexts. Leaders aren’t trusted implicitly always or “lives are at stake”. So how does it translate??

Perhaps my view is tainted having been through mandatory military service, and hated every minute of it. But I guess I simply “don’t get it”

> all the data you intend to show them you should be able to fetch and send with the initial request.

Sure, but if it requires data from five different services and significant compute time, the initial request is going to be very slow. Users are more likely to bail out if they see nothing for a few seconds than if they immediately see a loading screen that lasts for a few seconds.
I'm not sure if the US freedoms are just talk because all those successful companies which Spain wants to tax were started in US not in EU.

So Spain with it's $12B of export can risk imposing tariffs (it's essentially a tax at mostly US companies) compared to e.g. Germany which exports much more.
US CBP officers pre-clear travelers in Vancouver on the existing Amtrak route; however, the train is stopped anyway just across the border to give those agents a reason to exist as well. The existing Amtrak experience is terribly slow - like five hours from Vancouver to Seattle.

A high speed rail service would conceivably use pre-clearing as well.
>crucially their modification of the TeX engine seems to be distributed only as the two `.wasm` binary files

That is a subjective question. I would argue things like paying for lawyers, paying your court fees even if you win (US system), and bail, cannot be an effective way to achieve true justice because they are all biased towards the rich.

>Bombing a major country into submission is very likely a humanity ending event

WW2 disagrees, I think. You don't need to carpet the place with nukes - a few well-placed, climatically-harmless strikes will do. Will it trigger a species-ending global nuclear war? Maybe - but very likely not. Maybe people are smart enough not to end the species over such a thing. Maybe other people are smart enough to abuse that fact.
In fairness, you can just put ? on the end of every type and they will all be nullable like in Java. It can all be mutable state just by writing var instead of val. No big deal. The compiler will yell at you if you use a nullable pointer in a place that needs non-null but you can cast it away using !!

But I write Kotlin all the time and nullness checking is one of its best features. I wouldn't want to go back.
> Flow is the same as hyperfocus physically, and overdoing will ultimately harm you physically ...

Flow is so hard to maintain that it's self limiting anyway.

I think there's little chance of overdoing flow when the entire social system is designed to keep us busy distracted and checking boxes.
> but the problem is actually that the UI itself only loads these things once they've been rendered by the framework which is often after another component has loaded them

That just sounds like bad front end coding. A good framework used properly would not have that issue.

There is nothing stopping you from developing razor components which are capable of dynamically adjusting depending on the specific device you are targeting.

Yes, taxes are related to IP of course. Parking your IP in a country where you have a super low tax rate guarantees paying no or very little taxes using transfer pricing shenanigans back to your home office.

>Next, participants received our standard instructions to
entertain themselves with their thoughts (in this
case for 15 min). If they wanted, they learned,
they could receive an electric shock again during
the thinking period by pressing a button. We
went to some length to explain that the primary goal was to entertain themselves with
their thoughts and that the decision to receive
a shock was entirely up to them.
Many participants elected to receive negative stimulation over no stimulation—especially
men: 67% of men (12 of 18) gave themselves
at least one shock during the thinking period
[range = 0 to 4 shocks, mean (M) = 1.47, SD =
1.46, not including one outlier who administered 190 shocks to himself], compared to 25%
of women (6 of 24; range = 0 to 9 shocks, M =
1.00, SD = 2.32).

You can read the complete study here, https://wjh-www.harvard.edu/~dtg/WILSON%20ET%20AL%202014.pdf

I´m quite intrigued about the outlier who managed to shock himself every 4.7 seconds for 15 minutes straight. Was he trying to go for a record or just plain masochism...
