> Except the first iPhone was not simple to use. It didn't even have 3G. You couldn't use MMS. It lacked a ton of other basic features, such as custom software.

You are describing missing functionality, but you are not refuting the claim of iPhone's simplicity of use.

There were plenty of things the iPhone couldn't do. Among these that it could, the experience was years ahead of the competition.

For me “bad actors” includes all bad actors—-whether commercial, governmental or otherwise. They are all potential snake pits and they need to be scrutinized. :-)

But they are what we have to work with. To me it is irrational to refuse to use part of the toolkit (laws and regulation) because ideology.

Mandatory radical transparency is probably a part of any effective mitigation strategy.

We have to be realistic. The “system” cannot be perfected, and trying will cause horrible unintended consequences. It will always be gamed. There will always be charismatic sociopaths and selfish assholes. There will always be injustice and suffering.

But we can try to use the available tools judiciously to keep their negative impact down to an acceptable level.
GPT-2 is byte pair encoding and transformer. Is there any indication that BPE plays any role here, because the vocabulary is fixed? If not, then it is only the transformer that is interesting and this post is just trying to use the name of the model, because it sounds cool. And actually giving moves directly to transformer may improve the results.
It should be similarly efficient. AlphaZero used 1,000 TPUv1's to generate self-play games, and a much smaller number of TPUs to train the model on the previous self-play results. Whenever it generated a model that was >= 55% better, that became the new model.

The same algorithm could be applied here.

I generally have my browser take up 3/4 of the screen with a small bit of space on the right free.

If watching a video I can drag it into this free space and continue using browser while it's playing.

Many years ago I used to use "popup video" extensions to achieve the same thing. This works much better though.
>I fully support the premise, but it clearly ignores the reality. A man has to first be convinced that the environment around him will not reject him for crying, before expecting him to be vulnerable in such an unfamiliar way.

It's irritating to read recommendations for people to effectively martyr themselves in the sake of progress.

>People talk about toxic masculinity as though it is a problem created only by men.

"Toxic masculinity" is an unfortunately named term that leads to a lot of people talking past eachother since what the term means academically, and what it means colloqually/what it implies are fairly different. I think the issue is intractable enough to justify doing away with the term entirely and eventually coming up with a euphemism that means the same thing.

I completely agree, I don't really support the regime, but I support them more than the US shenanigans in the region. I believe that once the US stops making an example of out Iran, change will happen organically within the nation.

Maybe US should just leave the region where it isn't welcome. Also, if this were to turn into a conventional war, I predict the US would suffer massive losses, unless they resort to using tactical nukes. The US hasn't been on the winning side of a war since WW2.
Apple could put a capacitive touch screen in because they were willing to sell a phone for $600, carrier-locked on a 2-year, $40/month contract, at a time when phones sold for about 1/3 of that, and they could run a single well-optimized UI because they were somehow able to get Verizon (I think?) to agree to let a phone run a third party's UI untouched. It may not be "marketing" per se, but their success was very much business rather than technical.

Could you be a bit more specific here? I can't tell how what you're saying has any relevance to the Iraq war.
You are insane - Afghanistan is going on 19? years now and Iraq is no better.

If there were any american casualties this is going to get really bad really fast. Idk about WW3 but this is going to make Iraq/Afghanistan look like tea time at the park.

> In your thesis or dissertation, you will have to discuss the methods you used to do your research. The methodology or methods section explains what you did and how you did it, allowing readers to evaluate the reliability and validity of the research. It should include:

The type of research you did
How you collected your data
How you analyzed your data
Any tools or materials you used in the research
Your rationale for choosing these methods
That is my understanding as well--the actual source states "affected" instead of "died." I have yet to see anyone actually give a reliable estimation of how to turn "affected" into "died", and I can sustain arguments for anything between 1% and 100%.

There are essentially three pieces of information going into this estimate: pre-fire density, fire acreage, and fire mortality (in the long run). The first number is known at best to an order of magnitude, the second is quite well-known (thanks to satellites), and the last appears to be unknown.

How do you feel that stat is misleading? Is it too large, too small? Perhaps some articles are using is misleadingly, but it seems like it is a ballpark estimate made by an educated expert.

As I understand it, "the NHTSA shut down" is a serious approximation of the story. They marketed aftermarket self-driving kits while not getting any regulatory approval, and when the NHTSA sent them a letter saying "So, uh, what's this thing you're selling? Can we meet?" they immediately chose to shut themselves down instead of meeting.

All your other points I agree with, however the higher-level counterargument is that all these things have been just around the corner, and the tyranny of the von-Neumann architecture has been on its last legs for about 50 years now, yet it is somehow still with us despite many opportunities for both hardware and tooling-based alternatives.

> If you're 43, you should know what you want to do.

In a word, no.

You can change what you want to do at any age. At 29, I chose to put academia behind me to "go industrial". At 37 I started my own company. At 51, I joined another company. And again at 53.

You might have a general idea of what you want to do at some age, or something very specific. A particular itch you wish to scratch (see my 37 year old self wanting to prove that I could do "it" better than some of my predecessors).

Today, my 54 year old self wants to continue to enjoy working with very smart people, on hard projects, making material impacts upon top line and bottom lines of larger companies. In a real sense, my employer, those who actually pay my wages, changed 6 days ago.

In all these transitions, I've altered what I did, what I wanted to focus upon.

You shouldn't be scared of being old. Age is, for the most part, only a number. It is not relevant, unless you wish it to be. Or deal with some idiotic companies that think it is important.

You retire when you want. A friend 10 years my junior retired 2 years ago. He's bored silly now, but still, you can choose what to do, when you want to do it, modulo physical/health issues. For me, I think I realized I couldn't keep going at the powerlifter rate in the gym after I hit 53. I had to leave weights for the younguns to lift :D
To provide some context, as per the new amendments, the Indian Government wants:

* International companies to setup a physical office in the country, with an executive, who can be legally brought to court, police station etc., if the company has more than 5 million users in India. (Indian population is a Billion strong and has more than 600 million online users)

* Wants automated censorship for unlawful content on their sites

* Wants these companies to remove any content flagged by the Government, within a time period of 24 hours. The companies should also provide user data requested by the Government within 72 hours

Reminds me of "The Doubt Factory" by Paolo Bacigalupi (fiction)

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Doubt_Factory
The thing is you're speaking entirely about men of influence.

I would have a heck of a time finding the citation but I recall one study where subjects were shown one of two people. The general idea of it was that one of the subjects was shown to get better answers on a test and generally was more successful. The other was a neer-do-well. Then both of these subjects tripped. The neer-do-well who tripped was judged even more negatively. The achiever was judged more positively. Almost as if the mistake had "humanized" them.

I also notice that when people talk about men who are in touch with their feminine side, and open about things like being sexually assaulted, we see Terry Crews types who are built like a brick shithouse and are oozing with exaggerated masculinity and success. Can man who is already judged as weak and effeminette get away wiht crying and be treated well? I don't think that's the case and in fact I think the reverse is true. If a woman in the military trying to make a name for herself bursts into tears regularly will she be seen as strong enough to not break down in the midst of battle?

On top of that point... I think you're missing that the crying in all the cases you're talking about is quite controlled. To the point of Jibes about both Boehner and Obama playing up the waterworks to drive sympathy. Neither of these men are sobbing "I can't do this job... I'm not good enough". They're sobbing at some vague distant injustice to show how much they care about something. So I'm not even sure these examples demonstrate that crying is culturally accepted... and instead they merely show that specific circumstances allow for crying (high-status man, tragedy not caused by yourself, etc)

>Mandela

I think old men get an exception from cultural expectations around crying and i'm not sure why.

> [...] but you are not refuting the claim of iPhone's simplicity of use.

I already addressed that in my first post in this subthread:

"[...]

The major innovation of the iPhone was that it had a capacitive touch UI (which allows finger use, gestures, etc). The iPhone did not have an App Store during release. It was missing a lot of features. It was Nokia who was the market leader around that point. I wish they fully bet on Maemo and capacitive touch instead of Windows Phone (they went the right way with the N9, but the predecessors were still too much on pen and resistive touch, or hybrid).

Any difference in between growth and expected growth can be a problem. If investments were made and money was lent assuming 12% growth, then 6% is going to hurt.
According to the page you linked we were pretty close to it happening in 2012. Crazy!
The website looks great, but does not offer a lot of detail.

Can someone explain:
"Holds your entire movie collection" - does this mean it rips your DVDs onto a hard drive? Or just catalog them?

"Collect your TV Shows, and have them automatically organized by season." - is this over the air TV? Over the Top (Cable). Does it include Netflix, PrimeTV, Hulu? IS this just a catalog of what you like or does it Copy these to the hard drive as well?

"Enjoy your own music collection. Make playlists, and listen on the go." - Can I transfer songs I bought song on Apple, GooglePlay, or CDs?

"Watch Live TV and set automatic recordings to expand your media library" - is this over the air and/or cable? Can I record from streaming services? Once I record, can I watch it on my mobile?

Thank you for your help!
I'm feeling verbose. So here we go.

Dark matter: Maybe something that we'll one day make lunch boxes out of. Maybe also a rounding error. Of some sort. In some way. You haven't got the mountain-of-data yet. A lot-of-data is a good start. This doesn't mean the missing matter isn't some super-energy infused version of something we already know about. For all we know, its simply "ordinary" matter we'd otherwise already have accounted for but seen/detected in distorted ways due to some new phenomena altering our perception. So, its real as opposed to unicorn droppings[0]. But thats only a small part of the story.

Neither dark energy or matter exist as permanent fixtures, or even as just two singulars. They are placeholders while the search for the underlying phenomena continues. The moment the unaccounted matter/energy is discovered due to phenomena A, B, C, D, E, F then those two broad individual placeholders will be replaced with more detailed names, likely in honor of someone famous or otherwise noteworthy feature of the discovery, eg shape, some quantify etc. We'll go from "dark matter" to phenomena A,B,C to something1, something2, somestate3 or whatever.

People like saying dark[1] because it sounds cool, mysterious and edgy. Its the flair for the dramatic. This is fine for awhile as long as it helps. It is a mystery. But today its a big mystery and tomorrow its on someones balance sheet. There's a lot of tomorrows to allow that to happen.

Very important note: Our knowledge is not dark. Knowledge shines light over the unknown so we can see it for what it is. That is the whole point.

[0] I'm asserting for sake of argument that unicorns aren't real. Some could say that horses with a horn were hunted to extinction and we just haven't found a sample. Thats valid as well. I'd still prefer to see some evidence like a skeleton. But for now, I'll just assume for the sake of argument they don't exist and leave the real answer as homework for the interested[2].

[1] Dark. Or transparent. Maybe we are seeing through it instead. Plastic bags in water become "unaccounted for" and can visually disappear due to transparency. Some ocean creature could easily call that bag the equivalent of what we would call dark matter. Its got water in it and around it. Ordinary matter surrounded by something they don't understand. Hydrocarbons. In explaining it we'd mention the multiple processes and atoms responsible for the formation because we know how hydrocarbons are formed. And probably not just one thing. (No I'm not suggesting dark matter is hydrocarbons but I retain the option to ironically laugh if they are a form thereof).

[2] I know an 8 year old who is highly motivated to believe they're real and with enough skills at genetic manipulation she might make it happen. And apparently they eat meat. The small-hill-of-data implies we should be careful out there.
Has anyone ever tried:

Annual plan only available after 6 months of membership?

While I understand that sounds counterintuitive, if not odd, it:

a) offers an incentive to stay.

b) with that goal line in mind, the offer of annual when getting there has special meaning. As opposed to a random "you've stayed. You must be happy. Wanna go annual?"

Again. I hear what you're saying, but in a nudge-y / Hooked sorta way it might work.
This sums up a lot of older business models. Where a call to a whine and dine salesman is needed. Such a dead and dull way of doing business. In the age of on demand, make a website where OEMs can just sign up and get things done. Outside of a certain monthly sales figure. Then send in the suits.
Clients are a gap for sure. I have a PS4 and Wii U already under my TV; I'm in the process of motivating myself to set up a proper media server, and Plex seemed like a safe option given that there are phone and game console apps, and a web client for desktop use.

Would love to try Jellyfin, but I'm definitely not setting up another box + remote for it, and it sounds like the web client is a little patchy in the PS4's browser.

(looks like the web client does have a bunch of PS4-specific detection in it, so it's getting at least some testing/use— perhaps I'll check it out: https://github.com/jellyfin/jellyfin-web/search?q=PS4&type=C...)
Their tech is within the top two right now, and Hotz has demonstrated a deep responsibility with it. Plus, it's all libre software.

Skipping regulators seems fine, given (unlike their competitors) they're acting responsibly. Their eye-tracking tech is really cool, too, and prevents the Tesla problem of drivers losing focus.
This doesn’t solve the problem that “louder” tracks typically have substantially reduced dynamic range Such tracks are often irreversibly worse than those with less compressed range.
Or maybe don't have such a stringent regulation ?
In the USA it was AT&T. Other than that, agreed; it was an expensive smartphone. They've always been expensive smartphones, with ridiculous prices for storage (compare with Iriver H340 series). The cheapest iPhone was an iPod Touch.
I never believed in bitcoin retrieval cos people around me told me it’s not possible. Sometimes last year I fell for a binary option scam which promised a higher return and I lost close to $97,000 worth of bitcoin, I felt so sad and devastated at the same time and lost all hope. Few months ago I read a lot reviewed on bitcoin site how digital currency had helped them recover there stolen bitcoin, as regards a recovery expert and genius so I contact his via his email cyberhackall, explained my ordeal how I was scammed and he promised to help me get all my bitcoin back to my greatest surprise I got all bitcoins recovered within 48 hours.

Yeah, there seems to be, generally speaking it's tilted towards more senior level folks, and projects, as Elixir isn't really on anyone's radar as an entry level language. Plus, understanding the concepts that make OTP great usually requires moderately thorough understanding of asynchronous and parallel programming.

I think it's been growing pretty steadily, IMHO, because Elixir/Erlang is such a wonderful platform for development, BEAM is extremely battle-tested at this point, and performance is quite good for how easy it all is... also, while I spoke against it, when you absolutely must, to you _can_ write something in C fairly easily (I've _never_ had a good time trying to do C-interop in Ruby or JavaScript for example).
