>How would a backpropagation work in such an architecture?

In the simplest case you can feed signals 'in one end', let it do it's thing and then take the output, which you further feed through the rest of your architecture. Rewarding can be (in the simplest case) done with neurotransmitters (mostly dopamine) as it would've worked normally. You basically have to mimic something like this[0], by rewarding based on your loss function.

(of course, in reality, you'll have to do a lot more than that)

There's a ton of various lightweight DE's for GNU/Linux for example. I can run Arch Linux/i3wm just fine on my PinePhone.
Actually being a highly portable Arch Linux/i3wm device is what PinePhone does best at the moment for me. lol

And people certainly thought about it. Phone manufacturers just actively work against people running alternative OSes on their phones, by locking up their devices, and making it annoying to unlock them, and by not respecting GPL, and releasing code with huge delays and in a very halfassed manner, and by ignoring calls to upstream their code.
Someone who can't swim on their own should only ever use a coastguard-approved lifejacket or other personal floatation device. because of the risk of users falling off, Float toys like inner tubes, rafts, etc are only safe for swimmers. If the pool is busy, it's probably safter just to prohibit non-pfd, since they can obscure the view of the pool floor. Unapproved floats, especially water wings, run the risk of deflating or placing a non-swimmer in a position where his or her face is underwater.

Also, when I was a lifeguard, one of the things that was sometimes hard to get to parents' heads is that "supervising" a non-swimmer does not mean sitting on the side of the pool reading a book--it's being in the water no more than an arm's length of the nonswimmer. Every second is critical in a drowning incident, so having a parent less than a meter away will almost always do a better job rescuing a kid than a lifeguard in preventing an accident

Most bucket-based APIs I’ve used allow you to go beyond your tier and you’re either automatically bumped up to the next expensive tier or charged overage rates (i.e. SendGrid). If you use less than you commit to they keep the extra but go over and it’s automatically usage based.

Either way bucket pricing is designed to work out better for the provider than the customer almost every time.

Yeah this can happen because the bronchi in the lungs is covered with this "teflon" like non-stick coating that prevents the lungs sticking together when breathing out. When a person inhales water in a near drowning this coating might get washed away resulting in the bronchi to get stuck. This will reduce the breathing capacity of the organ could result in hypoxia. Therefore after near drowning supervision in a hospital is a good idea.

Just setting opacity to show state is generally seen as bad practice, the difference in contrast is just too little compared to real life. Seeing as the screen is dimmable/ can be used in various lighting situations, if every switch is off it can be really hard to tell if the current opacity is 'all on' or 'none on'. In UX design it's common to see this solved by both using opacity but also a distinct shape/contrast and by changing the icon. Sometimes throwing a bit of color in can help those who are not color blind. Normally you'll see all three.

Ironically, you can see the team trying to solve this in material's filter chips by adding a checkmark: https://material.io/components/chips/#filter-chips
> I can’t tell you how many times I caught an issue because I knew our metrics backwards and forwards, but it didn’t trip an alert threshold.

So how many times was an issue missed because you weren't in the office, or because you were looking at your own screen and not dashboards at the moment?

Humans are incredibly powerful, but our whole job as SREs is to make things reliable, repeatable, and scalable. We're doing an industry-wide migration from elegantly hand-crafted LAMP stacks running SSH to Kubernetes and infrastructure-as-code, not because you can't fix problems with SSH (you can, and you can usually fix them faster and better) but because you can't scalably fix problems with SSH. Similarly, if a human found an issue and alert didn't trip, I'd count that as a bug/missing feature in the monitoring.

It's valuable while you're still small and working out your monitoring to keep a human in the loop - but at some point you need to get rid of that single point of failure. By all means, rely on a human to figure out where your alerting is lacking (just like you rely on a human to write the infrastructure-as-code), but you should eventually not rely on human intervention to actually keep incidents from happening.
Apologies to the author but I have to object to the entire premise; these are 'business anti-patterns'.

I feel all of his points imply a misunderstanding of basic business and microeconomics.

1) Businesses like predictability. Consistency is such an important concept that stocks that pay regular dividends are worth considerably more than those that pay irregular dividends. People with consistent credit payments are more creditworthy than those who are irregular.

This isn't just for the seller, it's also for the buyer. A financial manager would always prefer some type of easy, annual fixed fee all other things being equal.

It's why you pay less for longer-term AWS EC2 contracts.

Predictability usually reduces the operational burden, which reduces costs and enables a better deal.

Your own understanding of your own long term business objectives is an advantage that you can 'signal' down the value chain to your supplier by engaging in long term contracts. They do the same, and invariably competitive pressure means lower prices.

This notion of 'Enterprise plans being good for nobody' due to 'adversarial' notions is basically rubbish, makes no sense.

2) Often, price doesn't matter. In many cases, the surpluses yielded from a specific product is quite a lot, so much that nobody cares that much about the price. If your company with $2B revenues uses some service, if it costs $1k or $10k / year, it makes no difference at all. Nobody wants any kind of headache, it's like 'tranche pricing' for a haircut.

3) Combined with #2, we have the concept of 'Total Cost of Ownership'. The product 'features' that can matter more than price are usability and support. A cheap product that causes headaches is not cheap. A cheap product with extremely expensive support is not cheap. So consider 'total cost of ownership'.

On the seller side, they incur costs for giving free or cheap services. It may simply not be worth their while to deal with the tiny bits of incremental revenue.

4) The tiering models don't necessarily imply 'more or less value' for one or the other sides, it depends very much on the actual price - they could all be a ripoff or a great deal.

5) I don't think any particular pricing model is more or less 'adversarial' than the other.

6) Different pricing models are usually advantageous to the customer and the seller. Far from being 'adversarial', it's just the opposite: they enable customers and suppliers to engage on common ground, by building a financial premise that makes sense for both parties. Only each individual party understands their own needs, so more variety means more opportunity for common ground.
Then you still need to think, to avoid getting caught in tough water with a muscle cramp, or getting caught by seaward currents during tides, etc, etc. So, yes, it's good to know how to swim, so that you can survive immediately after getting into water, but it doesn't automatically make you bulletproof safe in water :)

In beaches, I think often lifeguards rely upon being summoned and being able to get there quickly (beach vehicles). That's in case s/he has to cover kilometers of sand.

Additional comment:

I did some googling and found these fins designed specifically for pool lap swimming: https://myswimpro.com/blog/2018/03/01/8-benefits-of-swimming...

They're smaller than your traditional "scuba" style fins but probably still WAY more effective than your feet alone.

They look fun! Wow, now I want to swim again. So fun. lol

You don't really need your feet to swim. In my personal experience when swimming most propulsion comes from my hands, not my feet. Once you can tread water with just your arms you'll have plenty of time to figure out how to swim with your feet without having to worry about sinking.
They have a program that pays for answers too.
Drownings are rare, I would say that 1-2% of something rare is very rare.
Wait, so you think that people should not actually be incentivized by the money that Quora pays to incentivize writing questions, but should instead be motivated by "genuine curiosity", except uh, somehow more so when being paid money, they just mustn't ever admit that the money is also a motivation?

That is beyond silly.

The author does not in fact admit that he's only interested in the monetary gain, quite the opposite actually: he writes "asking questions became like a sport to me".

Motivation isn't and cannot be a criterium to judge what makes someone a spammer, only the quality of the content.

There's absolutely valid criticism of Quora here on the following points:

- "prodding" people to work for them with promises of money (actually more than just promises, the money was represented as already belonging to them).

- Then, when someone has provided a considerable amount of content for them over the course of a month, banning them without a warning and failing to pay out the promised money.

- Being unwilling to give proof for or even specify what the user was banned for.

It's really not much different from a company hiring someone and promising commission-based payments, and then one day before payday firing them without giving a warning or a reason, and refusing to pay out any commissions for the whole month the person worked for them.

But hey, it's the "sharing economy" now, so that makes it OK!
Uh, changing business hours is pretty simple, you know. Over here business hours routinely change during holidays for examples (various businesses open/close later or earlier depending on their client and employee needs). If it's easy for two weeks I don't see why it'd be harder for six months.

L.A. County voters encounter hours-long waits and glitches with brand-new system
The OP was invited to the partner program by Quora who actually thought a financial incentive was a good way to get quality answers. You seem to have moral objects to that, but both partners in this partner program were obviously okay with it. Nowhere it is claimed that his answers where spam or of low quality. As I understand the system, money is awarded on the quality answers the question receives. Maybe he is just good at asking the right questions. There are lots of people making a career out of asking the right questions.

Now Quora would still be fine terminating the partner program with the OP for whatever reason they see fit. What is not okay is that he did not get paid for the questions he asked, because that was the nature of their partnership.

It looks like Quora is trying to avoid paying for a service (questions) they received within a contract (the partner program) they themselves proposed. The term scam does not seem too far fetched.
It shows what actually drowning looks like which is quiet and very predictable movements that don't match how most people expect it to look from movies/tv.
Sorry, Saradhi, I don't think you can reasonably claim there was no intention to plagiarize. Adding a "pro" to something is clearly meant to suggest it's the paid version of something. And it's equally clear that "TabulaPro" is derived from "Tabula".

It may be that you didn't realize that people would see your appropriation as wrong, although I have a hard time believing that as well given that the author tried to contact you and was ignored. As they say, "The wicked flee when no man pursueth."

So what I see here is somebody knowingly doing something dodgy and then panicking when getting caught. If you'd really like to make amends, I'd start with some serious introspection on what you actually did, and an honest conversation with the original author that hopefully includes a proper [1] apology.

[1] Meaning it includes an explicit recognition of your error and the harms done, a clear expression of regret, and a sincere offer to make amends. E.g., https://greatergood.berkeley.edu/article/item/the_three_part...

There is of course education that can help in a lot of these situations. What amazes me is that there is no one around these kids to look for them apart from the pool staff.

Most pools here allow for non/bad swimmers to go where they want, with what they...under the absolute condition to have a good swimmer with them, all the time.

A small kid straying alone in the pool is already an alert and the pool staff will get the kid out of the water on the spot, with no reentry. Here the kids are big enough that they could be swimming by themselves, so for me the blame is on the parents for not being there, even if it was for just a minute.

When I was about 10 I got stuck in the ocean once at a beach. Even without big waves I kept getting pulled further from shore and wasn't strong enough to break past the current despite being a decent swimmer (enough to pass various tests and get certified for some level of swimming from a local camp).

I still have flashes of memories of looking back at the shore and it being quite far but not abnormally far. I just remember treading water for a pretty long time and having to signal the lifeguards with my arms. I'm happy they came eventually.
I dont agree that AdSense/affiliate blogs dont have useful information. They have bias, but that doesnt mean they all need to be dismissed.

Consumer reports, popular mechanics, wirecutter, nerdwallet, valuepenguin, bankrate (the points guy, credotcards.com) bicycling.com The financial and mattress websites have gotten out of hand, but there still IS good information between the ads. Its probably almost time for an aggregation of the roundup sites, one that sorts and links back to all the best of articles on a given topic. Content ads can still be useful starting points for research - such as https://www.popularmechanics.com/home/food-drink/a28493008/b...

You do have to read, and the answer isnt always spelled out at the top of articles. For example, the Wells Fargo Propel card is way better than most card comparison sites give it credit for. They admit how good it is, and then suggest what may be a lesser card for some people (like Wirecutter recommeding the Costco card over it.)

> classic C-style programming where all errors are just ignored

That's a mischaracterization of most C code written by professionals, because (with appropriate compiler flags) return codes have to be explicitly ignored. Contrast with languages where most functions don't even have a return code, and the compiler/interpreter doesn't complain about failing to catch possible exceptions. I see this a lot in Python code (which I generally like and have liked since 1.5 BTW), a bit less so in C++, etc. Even "elite" programmers in those languages tend to be sloppy that way, which I rarely see in C programmers with more than a couple of years' experience.
Yes! But for example smartphone OSes have their own ways of doing the same.
It depends on the child's ability. Plenty of kids were swimming by themselves in the ocean at 8 or younger because they had a lot of experience or even doing competive swimming from younger ages. Most parents when I was a kid would set rules as too how far into the sea you could swim and that'd be it. I think this is common throughout the world in places close to beaches as I was.
I disposed of 63 wasps over a period of about 3 weeks with it. Can confirm that it kills at a range of 6 inches by blowing the body apart. So, usually it was two shots, one to immobilize and another to kill. Vastly prefer this to spraying chemicals around or having a dirty fly swat

When I was a kid I was swimming in a children's pool in our backyard with my two younger brothers. One of my brothers was afraid to go under water. At one point, I turned around and noticed that he was underwater. It looked like he was making swimming motions as people normally do. I was surprised that he decided to do it, given his fear, and just watched him for maybe ten seconds. After some time passed I got concerned and pulled him up. Sure enough, he was drowning and I was just sitting there watching him.

I learned that day how non-obvious drowning looks. I still feel bad about it to this day, even though he ended up being alright.

As a Rust fan boy where the Error monad is used instead of exceptions, there are times where exceptions are nicer. One example is when using `map` and other functions on iterators. With exceptions, error reporting is out-of-bound. Without them, things get messier, see https://doc.rust-lang.org/stable/rust-by-example/error/iter_...

I've got some ideas for siphoning off the errors to make them out of bound. Will need to experiment to see how ergonomic it is.
