I'm training a semi-supervised task which consumes three text samples while training. In retrospect, I might have been able to concatenate them, and treat them as one, but as it was I wasn't able to implement some of the functions fastai's Databunch required.

Might give it another go if I decide to give it another refactor.

The worst design is where the light is initially off but turns on when some condition arises (e.g. battery fully charged). You fall asleep in total darkness only to be woken up at 3am by the brilliant light of "your phone is charged now".
I had the same experience and I often wonder about the tendency to "go enterprise" - it seems more like sabotage than idiocy after enough coffee. Probably just the consequence of excessive profiteering /shrug.
>Recently, I bought a newer Subaru, with EyeSight. It has adaptive cruise and lane keep assist. The LKA is fine - it'll beep if you sway outside of a lane, and automatically adjusts the steering, but it won't keep you centered. It's more of a safety thing, and it works well from that perspective.

I have 2020 Subaru and it has lane centering on top of that. On the highway, with clear lane markings it comes very close to driving itself. It won't slow down to handle curves on its on though.
Interesting, but couldn't you just pull the power and internet from Alexa to get the same end result? She will dream. Or the inverse, make Alexa a phone app, so the spouse that wants it, can wear a Tactical Laryngophone Earpiece microphone so Alexa can't spy on anyone except the owner.

Right, but you wouldn't know if your sleep improved because the wi-fi is off, or if it improved because you have greater peace of mind just knowing that the wi-fi is off.

These are different things. A blinded test would eliminate the peace of mind component and allow you to determine if there's a physical effect from the wi-fi being on or not.

ISPs used to do that more commonly before HTTPS killed it but it's an expensive service to operate: very high traffic and if anything goes wrong your customers have a bad experience on the entire internet. The only way to do it is by intercepting TCP connections to port 80 so that system has to be as close to 100% uptime as you can manage.

Site owners generally hated it, too, since tampering proxies were a perennial source of compatibility bugs and protocol violations even before you had things like the ones which tried to “optimize” images by recompressing them, giving everyone on that ISP a bad experience which you don't know about. Stack Exchange has a number of threads where someone was trying to figure out why only some customers had complained months-stale content (Hi, Telemundo!), low-quality images (Hi again, Telemundo!), mismatched languages or truncated/corrupted contents, etc.

One could argue that a lot of the so-called "research" that is conducted at government subsidized laboratories in the United States like MIT Lincoln Laboratory provides a more modern example of this same form of "passive aggressive" workplace resistance.

For example, the former technical director of ballistic missile defense at MIT Lincoln Laboratory used to build miniature Rube Goldberg-style contraptions and display them in his office just to ridicule the military's stupidity for wasting billions of dollars of taxpayer money on useless R&D programs like "Star Wars," which hearkens of course all the way back to the Reagan era.

He famously once told a Lincoln employee that he instructed his subordinates to bill hours against government programs that they never worked. Unfortunately for the laboratory, however, this particular employee chose not to join him and his colleagues in their "passive aggressive" form of workplace resistance.

Instead, he reported the fraud to the FBI, in connection with this famous investigation:

Yeah just collision detection and lane guidance are already helpful in modern cars. After driving in snow in Colorado I have to wonder how self driving cars perform under such conditions. I couldn't make out where the lines are and no one really does. A four lane road can easily become a two lane road under such conditions, as people cut a worn path through the snow.

I really think self driving could improve public transportation in urban cores by tracking preset paths. I could also imagine buses that are mostly autonomous, but where a remote driver could override the controls for exceptions.
someone left what looks like an honest review and it's 4 / 5 but they only write positive things

That may well be me. I don't think that "meets requirements" should merit a 5. When I do reviews, I view a bare "meets requirements" as 3 or maybe 4, depending on the type of product. I want to leave some headroom to be able to point out products that really do excel.

Another ambiguity is whether the rating is on an absolute scale, or normalized for value (it's not a perfect product, but it's super-cheap).
Those prices and lead times don't seem very competitive. At Sunstone I pay $5/sq in for 1-day service on a 2-layer board. If I was willing to wait a week it's $1/sq in.

I think people who are impressed by 3d printers often aren't very experienced with how easy it is to make or get made the things they are printing. I can draw a board in my EDA program, hit a button at 6pm and come back to work with the boards on my desk at 8am the next morning, if I want to pay for that. Same deal for parts: I can order a box full of crap from Digi-Key at 10pm Pacific Time and the Fedex guy will drop it on my desk 10 hours later. Electronics prototyping is extremely well developed, fast, and dirt cheap.

Coronavirus Live Updates: Beijing Sets Stringent New Quarantine Rules
Do you guys allow for a dipping period ? as in not getting anything for a while but saying that's ok. Let it sit in your mind and let the idea sink in smoothly, then you do a full blown effort to master it ?
Yes, you can debate how much imported (or for that matter, domestically produced) stuff is actually tested, but the fact remains that existing laws and regulations do cover this, even if enforcement is maybe lacking.
It would be better for life on Earth as we know it if the proxy simply cut you off from the X server, forcing you to find a better window system to use. It's much better to prevent errors from happening in the first place, than to handle them after they happen.
The idea of discrete species is just a useful approximation to help us think about things. And it's an extremely useful first cut, imagine how confusing a farm would be if you didn't mentally keep chickens and bulls in different boxes.

But when you look closely enough, there aren't really any such exact groupings in nature. Conception only involves the DNA of two individuals, not some larger group. And we know that species today have common ancestors, and it can't be that there was a precise second at which they became distinct, every split must have happened gradually.

(Like us, animals also have their own heuristics about other animals, including what sort of things they will mate with, but it's imperfect. Denim jeans cannot reproduce with poodles, as it turns out.)

In fully recognizing that I am a minority case,I am sceptical signal and whatsapp will *ever have a fully untethered protocol with desktop as a first class device. My understanding is that it would require a complete rearchitecture... For no benefit other than to appease a few grouchy nerds :-)

Pity; even though all of my family use whatsapp and are unlikely to move, there's a fascinating look on their face when they first ponder the idea they could've picked up their conversation on their big tablet when at home. It just doesn't occur to them to expect / demand more :-/
Today saying cars have "self driving capabilities" is like saying you're fluent in 3 words of a language. They have advanced driver assists but the insistence on the "self driving" terminology tricks enthusiasts and less tech savvy people alike into a false sense of confidence in the tech. Sometimes all the way to their deaths.
I agree, and that's why I'm a huge fan of Hypothesis Driven Development, which enables the whole team to know whether they're adding real value to the end-user. Usually, it's embraced by, using the term you coined, “engineering-minded pm”s, who understand the importance of developer happiness and thinking in terms of problems.
> It's crazy to me that with all of Signal's emphasis on security (being designed by one of the top security researchers in the world, no less), they chose to make tying your account to a phone number a requirement.

It isn't crazy. There's a tradeoff between convenience and security. Signal appears to trying to create the most secure system that's still usable by most people, and are advancing the state of the art in many areas to make that happen.

It's important to keep in mind that the best security in the world is of no use if you don't bother to use it.

In any case, Signal gives you optional actions you can take to solve some of the problems your concerned with.
I agree. Although I’d only use them when forced to eg in a camera otherwise I’d use Dropbox or similar or a USB stick (has its own problems though!). Infact thinking of it almost all sneakernet media sucks: USB sticks bend, floppy disks just fail, external HDDs are ok but clunky, sd as you mentioned sucks, DVD rw is slow and easily damaged.

As for image pasting yeah the one that gets me is slacks inability to consume anything but am uploaded local file image. For example if I use the snippet tool in Windows I can’t paste that directly into slack. Probably this one is up to chrome to fix.

Snow Leopard was the first "cheap" version of OS X, $29 (IIRC). People who went Tiger -> Leopard had to pay for the privilege, and after Snow Leopard it was all free (EDIT: no, I was wrong, it was later.. but it was cheaper).

Heh, good memories of hitting ^Z in the Interbase command line client app to suspend it, and it pausing the entire server until the client was unpaused or killed. I'm not even sure how that could possibly happen (unless there was some blocking heartbeat thing), but it was 100% reproducible.
I do wonder how much of the self-driving narrative at the peak of inflated expectations was the result of

2. Hypesters and scammers who knew it was mostly smoke and mirrors but it didn't matter so long as they got their payday.

C++14 and later are modern. What people commonly refer to as “C++” also includes C++03, which needs to be put out of its misery.

Private and charter schools may be nice for the individuals who get to go to them but from a macro perspective they are terrible. They suck money away from the public school system. We need to have a country were education is for everybody not just rich people.
I've never really dug into C++, but I've written a little bit of C, and I feel it's generally easier to write a given program in Rust than it is in C.

I can see why Rust has its reputation for difficulty - the burrow checker is a new idea, and the unfamiliar is inherently dificult. However, I think once you've spend a modicum of time, it's a fairly straightforward language, simply because the compiler almost always tells you exactly what you're doing wrong.

I don't feel like it's a particularly ergonomic language, and it's certainly hard to read (very symbol dense), but I think it's easier to learn to appease the burrow checker than it is to debug your average C program, especially if you're the sort of person (I certainly am) that produces dubious and buggy code more days than not.

No no no, at no point does anyone claim that this is in any way a real memory. Your actual memories are part of you and need to be respected. They should not be repressed.

What is created is the knowledge that a different experience is possible. Not just textual knowledge, but lived knowledge. Examples of the correct behaviours that you may see in movies or read in books or even witness in your friends are still not your lived experiences. This approach changes it.

The Fallacy of Productivity in Software Development
I took a similar journey over the years from static pages to custom static generators to PHP to Drupal to a custom Django-based blog engine to Jekyll/static pages.

It's interesting because I'm sometimes sad I lost the code for some of those old versions. Those old early PHP and custom static generator codebases would be interesting to revisit with today's ideas, even if just to laugh about. (But also because I know there's probably not-great blog content lost to them.) One of the "custom static generators" I recall was actually a really early not-quite-SPA JS app. I remember it ran really slowly in browsers at the time and worse got slower with each new content added, but these days I wonder if it would seem fine on modern JS engines. (I've got a feeling about the only thing I'd need to change would be to swap `document.write(stuff)` for `element.innerHtml = stuff` and it'd perform quite well today.)
Ultimately, the right place for most carmakers to focus on at this point would be situational awareness and safety features, gradually improving the situations where the car can prevent a crash.

Put it this way: If a driverless car would be safer than human drivers, then that would imply that all the necessary technology would already exist to allow humans to be the driver while the car still keeps them out of deadly situations. If such tech is not possible to develop, then it seems unlikely that true driverless tech (which would need to combine that safety tech with a lot of other technology) will happen.
For those unaware of it, here is a "map" of mathematics that mathematicians use, called the Mathematics Subject Classification:

https://cran.r-project.org/web/classifications/MSC-2010.html

It is arguably less useful for someone who is not a mathematician, but does illustrate how difficult the problem of classifying all of mathematics is.

Both "maps" have their uses.
I feel like the difference with Markdown is that it's not meant to be a hidden source format. It's meant to take an existing WYSIWYG styled-text format—the one people use when trying to style text in plaintext e-mail or IM systems—and to give it a secondary rendering semantics corresponding to what people conventionally think their ASCII-art styling "means."

If a Markdown parser breaks down, it's quite correct for it to just spit out the raw source document—because the raw document is already a readable document with clear (cultural/conventional) semantics. All a Markdown parser does is make a Markdown-styled text prettier; it was already a readable final document.
The BA isn't "full" by any reasonable measure. See this list of US cities by population density for comparison: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_cities_by_population_d.... San Francisco is 21st on the list, at 17,246 people per sq mi; the next densest city in the Bay Area is Daly City, which is 49th at 13,703 people per sq mi.

By contrast, NYC has 27,016 people per sq mi; the densest suburb of Boston (Somerville) has 18,431; West Hollywood has 18,297.

There's plenty of room for more people in the Bay Area, if denser housing is allowed.

Why does everyone always suggest K&R? I really don't see the big deal.
