> Yes, but a science lab isn't going to hire a high schooler with no science degree

What choice would they have if 0% of the population had a degree? This is ultimately why incomes haven't changed even as more and more people attain higher education. In the past the best and brightest people were hired into those positions as high schoolers. And now the best and brightest still are, except they have higher education now because of the social pressure to attain a higher education.

> And no business will pay a physicist with a degree minimum wage.

They absolutely would. Of course they would. I have no idea where you got the idea they wouldn't?

A person capable of becoming a physicist has little reason to want to work a minimum wage job though. The fact that they can attain a physics degree means that they do not posses the limiting qualities (disabilities, poverty, lack of intelligence, etc.) that leave less able people stuck in minimum wage jobs. People who are burdened with certain disabilities, poverty, lack of intelligence, etc. never had a real chance of completing physics degree. It is not within their ability.

> The result of obtaining higher education categorically results in you earning more income.

No. Those with higher educations, statistically, earn more than those without higher educations, but they are not earning more than people in the past who did not have higher educations. Additionally, this correlation exists because people who failed to attain higher education have qualities that limit their success in both school and the workplace.

> I'm beginning to think you really don't understand what I mean.

No, I fully understand that being able to excel in school is correlated with being able to excel in the workplace. This is obvious. Someone with crippling autism, which did not allow them to graduate from high school, was never going to become CEO of Google. I get it. That does not mean dropping out of high school will cause you to contract crippling autism.

It is well understood that education acts as a filter, leaving the poor performing people, who also perform poorly in the workplace, behind in academic achievement. This is quite different to school causing someone to become a high performer.
IIRC, some of the people thought the dislike of x86 was from RISC-loving academics, but I don't think that's the case. IIRC, the CISC Motorola 68k ISA was much better regarded than x86.

You have never been in an environment where you are a minority?

If I take a walk into main street I will go through several different environments that many has extreme different majorities and minorities. Stores which customers (and sellers) that are 90% women. Others with 90% men. Some places catering to specific nationalities, cultures, religion, language and so on. Restaurants in particular tend to cater to one specific culture, and I am personally not part of that culture for most places I go to, making me a minority there.

There are parts of the city where I will be a minority, others where I will be part of the majority. There are activities where the majority and minority switch place depending on what the current time is, others by which day of the week it is.

Not including the "Mystic" system seems like a huge oversight. It's an analog game system that works using yes/no questions, 2D10, and a probability table. It's not too elegant, but it works wonders. It can be used to assist the DM, or as a full-on DM emulator.
Beat me to it. I can vouch for this book as being completely amazing. It teaches you the fundamentals of how to see design, which in turn contributes to learning how to produce your own designs. Or evaluate someone else's. If you read only design book, this one is worth the time.

Sorry for the rant... I just feel like abstracts are the most important part of a paper and get annoyed with poor ones. A better abstract would arguably be something they have a few paragraphs into their introduction:

"To construct high fidelity emulators with limited training data, the machine learning models need to have a good prior on the simulation models. Most work to date in building emulators using random forests, Gaussian Processes,or other machine learning models, do not fully capture the correlation among the output points,limiting their accuracy in emulating simulations with one, two, or three-dimensional output signals. On the other hand, convolutional neural network (CNN) have shown to have a good prior on natural signals, making them suitable for processing natural n-dimensional signals. However, as the CNN priors inherently rely on their architectures,8one has to find an architecture that gives the suitable prior of a given problem. Manually searching for the right architecture can take a significant amount of time and domain-specific expertise and often produces sub-optimal results.

Here we propose to solve this problem by employing efficient neural architecture search to simultaneously find the neural network architecture that is best suited for a given case and train it. With the efficient neural architecture search and a novel super-architecture presented in this work, the algorithm can find and train fast emulators for a wide range of applications while offering major improvements in terms of accuracy compared with other techniques, even when the training data is limited."

The real risk in my mind is that this opens market space for Beijing-backed companies like Novogene in Sacramento. They will occupy that space and every adjacent space as fast as they can. They'll sequence your tumor genetics, or your germline to get a better read on you're kid's inherited disease. And you'll never know it because your doctor contracted with them, they signed a BAA (so it's all legal, right). And then Novogene will take that BAA to the bathroom, piss on it, and send your genome to China for cross-referencing in Face++ and see if you have any Uigher in you.

Everyone will eventually get some amount of sequencing done, probably multiple times throughout their lives. The vastly more important question in my mind is who's going to do it, and what are their incentives?

With cost-conscious medical professionals, you can bet it will be the lowest bidder, and the lowest bidder will not have your best interests in mind.

I used to like asking other jazz musicians I met for the first time, and hadn't heard, Are you good? (asked with a smile sometimes) People who actually are good never say 'yes' or talk like they think they are. It's interesting hearing what people say, anyway.

Otherwise, asking people who their favourite players are is a quick test, when suspicious. I've come across a few "jazz musicians" who can't even name a single jazz musician. Also, in chess, asking who someone's favourite players are is a quick test of whether they're any good.
I would say that's implied, no? The overwhelming majority of IoT threads are about this kind of situation. For example, the inkjet cartridge thread linked elsewhere in this discussion.
Which is why companies train interviewers not to ask any information that laws prevent them from using during the hiring process.

And yet it happens all the time. All. The. Time.

If it didn't we wouldn't spend tens of millions of taxpayer dollars on enforcement agencies and lawsuits.

It doesn't matter how many laws are passed, companies are still run by people. And people do bad things, either knowingly or unknowingly or just because they can.

There isn't any fundamental problem, it's just about tooling. Interpreted languages typically do this by packing all the necessary modules into an executable binary together with an interpreter and preloading or faking import function to load them from memory. Dynamically linked libraries usually can be recompiled and relinked statically, sometimes you may need to fake dlopen() and add a namespace to functions as some people try to prevent static linking, and if recompiling is not a possibility, approaches like elf statifier [1] can be taken. It's too bad shipping a single self contained binary doesn't have a first class support in most languages as if deployment is somebody else's problem. But nothing actually prevents it.

What makes it bad on PC?

I've played on Xbox, Switch, Mac, and PC. I much prefer PC because of input latency, frame rate, and graphics. Xbox was much worse than PC when I played it, and Switch was worse (still great that it's there at all though). Mac was better than Xbox, but my Mac didn't have a dedicated graphics card.

I see his point, but practical face recognition is a lot easier to implement and a lot harder to defend against than all the other types of recognition. You could, for example, no carry a phone or turn it off. But your face is expected to be on show (obv exceptions aside).

So no, it’s not missing the point. It’s a different point. He’s right, but action against face recognition is also worthwhile.

> And presumably if both parents have already done it why would you need to test the baby?

Before all the privacy concerns, I was considering getting my kids tested, even though my wife and I have both done it.

Mainly so that I could see which genes they picked up from each of us and if they got any new mutations.

Also, a situation that might be somewhat niche -- we had IVF, so it is possible there was a mistake in the clinic and the child wasn't made from us. I read too many stories about IVF clinics where the samples were switched by the employees with their own.

Even more mind blowing, through sheer clerical error, the children that came out of my wife could be mine but not hers!

Given that they look like us we're pretty sure the clinic didn't screw up, and at this point I would keep them regardless, but if I could discover an IVF mistake, the settlement would make for one heck of a college fund.
I hope it was celeste.
Certainly PR speak. They just don’t want to maintain support for the platforms anymore due to their ROI.
23andMe is very open about selling people's data! More people are OK with this than you would think. And without those data sales to third parties, 23andMe would look very different. I hear (rumors only) that their customer acquisition cost is a large percentage of the kit cost, and what's left over could in no way cover running the SNP chip.

The 23andMe SNP chip is not very medically useful, and I can't imagine a doctor recommending anyone use 23andMe unless it's to find relatives to relieve stress about the matter. Doctors will order specialized tests from clinically vetted firms that have medical directors signing reports that put their medical licenses on the line.

All that said, giving people access to their own data is somewhat valuable; and when the company was started no one knew how valuable it would be. Turns out it's mostly only useful for genealogy, at the moment, and unlikely to be useful for much more to individuals.

What people really want to know can not be answered by these tests, for example, what foods a person should eat, how long they will live, what they need to do in order to finally find bliss, etc... There are a several tiny, shady, providers of this information that is in high demand by some consumers, but short supply from the science.
This absolutely doesn't explain C++'s weirdness. Those template parameters don't make anything faster, its broken seeding ends up pretty slow, and a Mersenne Twister is hardly performance- (or anything-)optimal. Heck, some of those template parameters are probably used by a sum total of zero people in production code.
Nice idea OP, and the design seems very friendly and welcoming. I would only say one thing (and IDK how this is going to go down): but IMO, it makes more sense to me to discourage men from posting completely - and I say that as a guy myself. Why am I saying this? Because there's already plenty of places that are primarily filled with / run by / used by men.

I think if you want to have a female only site then no one should really get offended by this. I do think females probably have many different experiences than men in the tech space and having a place where it's more normalized to share them is a good idea. Without rules for a community like this it will just get diluted and you'll end up with Hacker News 2.0.

I've seen communities like this work really well in the past but only with good moderation and clear rules. Having a place like this is also a great way to understand people a little better - i.e. listening instead of speaking (if you're not a female.) just my thoughts. let them downboats flow~

The only negative findings I recall were here:

"Outside researchers didn’t deliver uniformly good news, however. Valspar approached scientists at Baylor Medical School, who found that TMBPF blunted estrogen’s effect on test cells and that a polymer made from the molecule had a similar effect on testosterone, according to a 2017 paper in PLOS ONE. Adam Szafran, a molecular biologist who helped lead the research, says the findings weren’t conclusive and could be specific to the prostate cells they tested.

"Mallen acknowledges that those results raise questions about the compound. But he says company-sponsored research showed that changes in test cells don’t translate into effects on an entire organism. That study, published online in Food and Chemical Toxicology in October 2019, showed no endocrine-related effects on rats fed TMBPF for 3 months."

The chance that this is a fairly safe chemical (or at the very least, a safer substitute for BPA) seems pretty promising so far. Of course, more studies should be and are planned to be done.

Breaking up AT&T led to phenomenal innovation and growth. We've gone from not being able to own things like phones (had to lease them from AT&T) and not being able to use telephone answering systems (not invented by AT&T, so not AT&T equipment, so not allowed on the network), to where we are today.

But one of the costs was to make it easier for that growth to bypass large parts of the US. The baby Bells like Frontier that were in less desirable regions no longer share in the wealth generated by the ones like Verizon.
If the motion of the blade is perpendicular to the edge of the blade, it shouldn't cut you no matter what angle you hold it at (some angles will cut your hair properly but none should cut your skin.) If the motion of the blade is parallel to the edge of the blade, then you're going to cut yourself.

It's not like other people have armored skin that's immune to sharp things; we all cut just as easily as you do. It's a matter of technique.

> ADHD has no known causal model.

Perhaps not, but there are discernible differences in the brain in people with severe ADHD symptoms.

And the (current) lack of a causal model doesn't stop it from being real, nor does it stop the current treatments from helping people operate at a closer-to-normal level.

Not to be too depressing, but there are two factors that can contribute to this honeymoon phase that I'm aware of:

1. Weight change, either bulking on muscle or fat can change your optimal dose for medication... And it's my opinion (and totally just my opinion) that starting to treat ADHD usually leads to a weight gain, either by getting you more able to exercise or increasing your activity and caloric intake.

2. Resistances, stimulants build up resistances pretty quickly for most people so if you're unlucky you'll likely be med hopping for several years until you run out of options or find a winner - if you're lucky and don't build up a resistance then you're probably set for life.

Both of these are addressable though, in the first path any significant weight changes should be monitored by your doctor (go to your doctor regularly, blood pressure should be monitored while on stimulants) and ideally the medication adjusted up... for the latter, well, it's a pile of poo but if you're able to stick with it your doctor will likely take you on a tour of different methyl*s until you find one that works - then, try your damnedest to never let your insurance force you off of it.
