Would you say OpenAI's dota 2 results were interesting? They're completely unreproducible according to the checklist: The dataset wasn't released, the code wasn't released, nothing but the results were released.

Ditto for AlphaGo, AlphaZero, and most other AI systems.

If one wants to argue that we shouldn't be doing AI science this way, then that's fine. It's just a different conversation.
I’m always very conscious of the selection bias of the people writing these types of articles. They tend to have succeeded in a major city, but as the author says:

> “It’s not casual. It’s not a place for a comfortable work/life balance. It’s fueled by ambition. People go go go.”

What of all those, and they will likely be most people, that don’t thrive in that environment. Are they getting a net benefit moving to a major metro? I really don’t know the answer there. The statistics are messy. All other things being equal, those of my friends that moved back to my hometown after college do not seem less happy or satisfied with their lives than those who went to major metros.

There was a game a long time ago called "Minesweeper Flags" that was a 2-person minesweeper, except it worked in reverse.

When it was your turn, you'd reveal a tile. If it's a mine, you get a point and your turn continues. If it isn't, your turn is over and now your opponent has more information because of the square you revealed.

A great game that rewards following all the logic you have on the currently revealed board without the benefit of gaining more information as you go, as well as playing the odds when guessing. However, it had a tendancy to give a player an easy win if the other player happens to reveal a large blank area all at once.
I'd say even 200 years ago.

Why not simply accommodate the savings rather than constantly trying to confiscate them? A dynamic monetary system can do that.

I don't understand this obsession on the left with behaving like Robin Hood. Wealth taxes will not alter the power position of the rich. All it does is get up the nose of the rich and require us to pay those people who want to play Robin Hood.

QE labour hours however, and the power of the wealthy to deny others an income by not spending their haul is removed. They can count their coin and the poor still get to work and eat.

It seems to be a well oiled machine.

Their streaming service is no exception. The Mandalorian show, run by Jon Favreau (director of Iron Man and The Lion King) is the most streamed television show in recent history, eclipsing the popularity of Game of Thrones and Netflix's darling, Stranger Things—and that's their first at bat.

The only media sector where Disney's dominance isn't currently felt is video games—the biggest sector of entertainment by total revenue—where Disney's strategy seems to have been lacking for decades, and where it has not been able to acquire itself out of muddling performance. They were able to outsource a hit with the recent Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order game however, so maybe that will change.

It's a factor in the insane cost of real estate in tech hub cities where many of us are attempting to live and work.
I know what that voodoo may be. Of the many failed "replace Excel" projects I've seen in the investment banking \ hedge fund world over 20 years, the usual mistake is that the focus was on the specific Excel model itself and not the generic building capabilities that Excel provides. An Excel model, i.e., the specific map from inputs to outputs, is typically fairly easy to replace with another tool. But what you've done is replace just the pants, not the sewing machine. Excel is the pants AND the sewing machine. And that sewing machine part is very hard to replace. So you can end up with the same model in C++, the very same map from inputs to outputs, but the user's ability to make changes and understand the model is greatly diminished. So they say "no thanks" and stick with the Excel model.

It does not have to explain itself, but it needs to be consistent with what is being conveyed to the people.

I'm not the target audience, but when doing the counting one I kept getting asked the same amount a few times in a row.

Did this happen with your children? Did they have an issue with that?

Personally I think that the same question shouldn't be asked multiple times consecutively. The most I had it happen was 4 times in a row but every other time except for twice times I had 2 in a row.

For what it's worth, this isn't true for me. Whether I'm drunk or sober, I find it easier than most to socialize, with either friends or strangers. When the company I'm with is drinking, _they're_ better at being social too: having the social energy be more two-sided leads on average to evenings that are more fun.
The Castlevania anime is really well done and can stand alone without the game but if you have played some of the games it really feels like a playthrough with a good story, though the first two seasons are based on one particular version.

I also downvoted this, well after your comment, because the comment directs someone to go out and do something that they cannot actually do (i.e. rewrite politics), because the political parties in power in California are perfectly happy to spend money on these matters already, but mostly because it is nontrivially likely that someone rifling through trash at such hours is a homeless person who has bigger problems than the availability of housing vouchers, so the specific policy perspectives offered will have only a marginal effect.

How might you live or feel cheerful when you hear upsetting sounds for quite a long time? How might you endure in the event that you can't quiet this irritating sound? It prompts a mind-blowing breakdown and prosperity. In some cases it can make you end your life seriously. Irritating sounds are whistling, humming and the sky is the limit from there. This sort of hearing issue is called tinnitus and this is a direct result of mind issues and sign transduction issues. You can discover numerous cures on the web or disconnected to take care of issues, however no other item or treatment, program or supplement will ever work impeccably for everybody.

Haven’t benchmarked but in principle:

Serde is one of the fastest deserializers out there. It excels when it has a defined schema to decode, using the #[derive] syntax should offload the work of the deserializer immensely and negate the effects of looking up fields which may not exist.

As well, using rust’s iterator adaptors like fold can allow the compiler to make better optimizations for things like summing vectors of floats, such as SIMD/auto vectorizing easier. It’s also better at eliminating or reducing bounds checks.

Using iterator abstractions is much more “beautiful” in my opinion to for loops, as well in rust tends to generate better assembly than indexing into collections like slices and vectors.
Ah I see, TypedDict won't be useful here.

Looks like there is a work in progress though[1] and people in the ticket provided some workarounds[2][3] for now.

I appreciate this analysis and agree with some of the points, although I have to add: for any interface that I use daily (such as a file management system), I prefer the modern version — flat design and all.

I don’t want heavy borders to show that something can be resized (just show me a different cursor when I hover), or column titles styled like buttons, or an always-visible scrollbar (I rarely need to know a “vague” measurement of files in a folder). To me, this just makes an interface more confusing.

Although I’ve been spoiled by Mac over the last few years, so maybe this argument is more about Windows.

Nope, can't say I noticed that. We maybe had once or twice where the answer was the same as the last question, but in those cases the question was different.

The only weighting issue I really noticed was that once you got to level 5 and higher, the number of questions who had zero as an answer started to get disproportionately high. Not constant zeroes, but noticeably more than any other answers.
> Curly braces are optional.

Why do languages make anything optional? It just leads to confusion and unnecessary style friction. I'm not saying everything should be as strict as Go, but... well, nothing should be optional.
Sure, a new processor that is designed to be optimized for a different threading and memory model might be better in a lot of ways, but backwards compatibility is important. We can't simply throw away all of the existing software written in C, and in most cases a regression in performance for C programs would be unacceptable. Sure, such a processor might find niche use cases, where it doesn't need to run any legacy software (including OS) and can take advantage of massive parellism, but I don't see it being able to replace the prevalent abstract computer model used in CPU's today.
Not an effective website as a passerby.

I'm unfamiliar with both the Strand and the landmarking process. It took me to the third screenful of text to figure out why The Strand doesn't want to be designated a landmark,

For every repair and every upgrade, The Strand would have to go through the slow bureaucracy of the Landmarks Preservation Commission which adds to the expanses to keep Strand alive.

This type of information should be at the top of the page.
TFA doesn't even propose a non-serial programming paradigm that programmers can easily learn. I suppose array languages, maybe? It's hard to imagine a CPU architecture where there's no branches, or minimal branches, or a language that greatly minimizes them yet can be used to implement the sorts of software we're fond of. A lot of what we do with computers is highly parallel, but also highly serial with lots of logic -- is that the fault of C, or is that natural and C is just a scapegoat? My money is on the latter.

Idk, my mom found windows 95 etc very hard to use but has no trouble with her iPhone, iPad or even a Mac (let alone the TV or can-speak-to appliance). Maybe part of is it is that a lot of problems that required UI solutions before just work magically now. Like file sharing, networking or dealing with different document formats. You don't need nearly as many controls for the most part so the UI can be simpler.
But you will have competition, instead, you might be able to sell it somewhere with quality standards - like a real shop - and have ticker margins given that you bought your inventory for dirt cheap and revitalized it in Amazon.
A consequence of optimising interfaces to look good in screenshots and promo photos, rather than actually being useful?

That's the only explanation I can find for the whitespace ridden desktop and phone interfaces that plague us today.
But fast chargers aren't particularly fast. If I'm going on a road trip aiming for 800-1000 miles in a day (we do that 1-2x/year visiting family), we'd have to recharge 2-4 times (depending on availability of chargers). Waiting 30min-1hr is a pain, especially when it's more than once per day. We also need to plan our stops based on availability of chargers instead of stopping when we feel like we need a rest.

This is a useful checklist, it reminded me of a recent topic of 'Whether AI is the end of Scientific Method' on Babbage from Economist Radio[1]

The arguments were that in ML/DL, experiments are run at large scale without hypothesis, with radical empiricism in a trial and error fashion
which is against Scientific Method i.e. Hypothesis, Experiment, Observation, Theory.

I don’t think the game is limited to the tech industry. What scares me is it seems pretty much all office jobs eventually turn into corporate politics / bs. On one hand, I can see how the politicking and playing the game seems to be in the best interest of the company - look! We’re getting stuff done and it looks awesome! OTOH, I worry that less obvious ideas (and good people) are neglected and like you said, The Game promotes the wrong behavior.

I guess if you get to that top “Fellow” developer level at a comfortable place maybe you don’t have to worry bout it anymore. Or maybe it becomes more important than ever... I hope not!

I haven't gone through all the research to fully understand the argument, but I watched the videos. Not convincing at all.

If I were to make this claim, I'd show a chimpanzee at rest in the video, without any music, then start the music. And actual music, not this loud machinery that would make me sway left and right due to stress.

Edit: not saying that chimps don't dance. Just that this is a very unusual setting.
>Two or three ounces of wine is enough

Enough for what exactly? A common pour of wine is 4 - 6 oz.

Also, I'm sorry you don't like alcohol, but not all use is abuse. I wouldn't even go as far as saying occasional and mild drunkenness itself is problematic.

I don't disagree that in many cases substance abuse happens because of external problems and unless those are fixed relapse becomes almost inevitable. Sometimes that has nothing to do with connecting to others; there is a reason the opioid crisis is hitting rural areas that have been hit very hard economically.

A laptop that has so many issues with something so basic as a keyboard that they require a replacement program is a hard sell to me. I can only imagine how much this hurts resale value of used ones.

At a conceptual level, I support this, but there should be no need for a cottage industry to explain how to use AWS. The UI is a nightmare. I have to open my browser's element inspector to see full docker image names in ECR. That's atrocious for a product that brings in billions. Clearly the UI's deficiencies "don't matter" to AWS' success, but they could try a smidge harder to make user's lives easier. But they likely won't, since it's business, and many of us using AWS aren't doing so by individual choice. But next time, when I am the decision maker, ...remember that, Amazon. People (individual contributors) do occasionally ascend upwards in technology organizations, and they will know what it's like to use your technology, and it will absolutely influence decision making.
“I’m sorry you have to see me in this way”
The article notes that the 5-cent deposit is hampering recycling rather than helping it.

The Natural Resources Defense Council noted that expanding the bottle deposit would "punch a hole in the economic model of curbside recycling." That's because recyclers "want the good stuff, we want the metal and the good plastics."

Whether a can is recycled by curbside pickup or by bringing it to a redemption center probably doesn't really matter environmentally. Curbside might have an advantage if they can more efficiently collect them (using less fuel and such). In this case, removing valuable recyclables like metal and good plastics from the curbside stream means making curbside recycling less valuable overall. It's transferring money from the city to the individuals collecting the cans.

I'm definitely not faulting the people collecting the cans. They're trying to make ends meet in a city that can be tough. However, for the environment, the bottle deposit doesn't seem to be a tax that helps out recycling - it's a tax that hurts recycling.

If the state expands the bottle deposit to include more bottles, it will remove more high-value recyclables from the curbside recycling stream. Those high-value recyclables subsidize the recycling of less valuable recyclables. That means that we lose the funding for a lot of our recycling.

It's ultimately a poor use of human time to just be moving things around. Rather than entering the curbside stream and getting recycled, people do a lot of more labor so that they...get recycled. The end result is the same, but there's more human labor used, more fuel used, more costs paid, etc. And it makes curbside recycling of other items less economical.
