I think your BS detector has a bug that may cause you to miss out on some good stuff! ;-) Sometimes there are ideas which are really good and very simple, but hard to explain because understanding them requires a shift of perspective which comes more easily from hands-on experience than from verbal explanations.

"Zettelkasten" is more of an attitude toward note-taking than a specific technique... it can be implemented in many seeingly almost unrelated ways, from Luhman's index-card box to personal wikis, etc. The defining characteristic is more in the way you integrate note-taking and note-review into your daily workflow and thinking process.

I don’t disagree but we’re talking about some products with 2005 cpu and 32mb of ram. Big for 2005, nothing today.
I'm almost sure it won't work. Everything you mentioned is true but there's one even more important thing. There are plenty of people who literally don't care or dislike their jobs and would take every opportunity to work as little as possible. While this might work for Google & co. where employees are relatively happy and passionate about their work, it would fail spectacularly in other environments.

Also I don't think management can be fully blamed for dismissing remote work as it would represent a considerable cost-cutting opportunity. It's likely not worth it as the overall productivity would drop too much.

That is a complete nonsequitior - 30% isn't what they need for proper recycling but what they believe they can afford to give as a sale to promote conversion from those who already sold it.

The two offenses are very non-equal and not remotely equatable. One is claiming to help the environment while doing something actively detrimental to it, the other is at most not going for a non-existant hypothetical option which resembled someone trying to sell them the Brooklyn bridge and added sales sleeze. If that caught on without some through and validated accreditation method would rapidly see fly by night "recycling surplus" operations that ran off with the money without any actual recycling.
I am Norwegian and we seldom use cash as well. I use cash perhaps a couple of times per year. However I am totally against the reliance on electronic payment. Cash should alway be a viable option.

Or at least the electronic payment systems we use need to be more robust. I remember from living in the Netherlands that they had a neat system called Chipknip. It was electronic money. So the machines accepting it did not rely on having a direct connection to a bank at all times.

It think if we are to be cashless we need something like that. It needs to be possible to make payments without having a physical connection to a bank at all times.

A big problem with electronic payment is that we are handing over a huge amount of cash to companies like VISA and Mastercard. I think when all of society operates in this fashion there really is a need for a government supported solution, because this is not merely a question of a "neat" feature you can buy but essential infrastructure in society.

It is reckless to leave such essential infrastructure in the hands of private companies.

Ask HN: Tracking down fake Airbnb owner
Case:
Not so technical colleague got scammed for 2 months rent. What can he do?

Steps:
1. He found apartment listing on immobiliare.it

2. Some emails were exchanged

3. He receives the link to the _real_ airbnb listing

4. He cant find it there, and the scammer sends the phishing page[1] (from @expertdesigner.eu)

5. Soon after he receives another email saying that the database is down from @airbnb.sa.com and he should meanwhile move the money using transferwise.com

6. Payment done

7. Scammer replies: Payment received

The login page was quite well made, and I think most of non technical people might get fooled

Well, this is pure alarmist. There are a number of examples of SaaS services that are free and/or don't use per user pricing

1. https://www.bitrix24.com/prices/ - free plan and unlimited users for $199/mo
2. https://basecamp.com/pricing - unlimited users, tasks, projects $99/mo
3. https://www.acumatica.com/acumatica-pricing/ - unlimited users pricing.

Sure, most popular SaaS (Slack, Salesforce, Trello) do charge per user. But you can switch to Bitrix24 or Basecamp that are literally just as good as Salesforce or Trello and pay a flat fee, if you want.
A talk on the same by Deviant Ollam: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dVTcifBspRc
I thought the the argument against it is that survivors develop antibodies that neutralize the virus in vitro.
They made the distinction between coins and paper cash:

> We could get rid of coins, and replace it with an electronic variant and leave paper cash alone.
Being a Swede, who now lives in Germany I would say that there must be a middle ground between the extreme cash dependency of Germany and the opposite in Sweden.

I have no idea how you do your shopping and end up not getting a pool of useless 1/5 cent coins. People literally laugh you in the face if you try to purchase things with them. Your only option is to give them away or collect them in a jar.

And needing to constantly go to ATMs just to keep notes on you is kind of ridiculous.

However I've also been to card only restaurants in Sweden when the card network was down. There was no plan B, the payment interaction just fell apart.

Oh my, Yes Bank.

A relative, years ago, made me aware of a small deposit they’d made in my name there. After being rotated between half a dozen customer service reps, communicating over e-mail and WhatsApp and SMS, contradicting each other at every turn, I gave up trying to set up an account to manage and/or withdraw the funds.

Abysmal service culture. Not surprising to see that had knock-on effects.

>If hypothetically fewer people were to work, more people wouldn't start receiving it because everybody gets it either way.

That money comes from taxpayers. If less people work, less pay into it.

>In general this goes the other way.

If less people work today, less will get made today. When a few percent of people suddenly don't have work, we have a recession, tax revenues fall drastically, raising deficits. The last recession makes this perfectly clear.

The UBI experiments so far have around 10% of people stopping work. That would be devastating to any modern economy.

>Taxes are (approximately) a percent of GDP

Because people are working. Drop 10% of workers, you lose a massive amount of tax base. Expenses are still fixed for many items, which is why when less people work deficit spending increases.

>And it was back to where it was at the height after one year

Because people were getting back to work.

I also never mentioned the stock market as the indicator to measure - that is a strawman you brought up.
This is wildly wrong. The whole point was that it’s a massive carbon footprint to ship them all back. Local recycling is much more environmentally friendly. Not to mention this is an optional thing regardless. The discount is offered to any owner provided it hasn’t already been claimed by a previous owner.
I don't think there's anything inherent to digital transactions that requires a working connection.
Another thing to note is that sparsity is being leveraged even to build a more efficient version of hardware. A good example of this is the Cerebras Waferscale chip that was announced recently. I'm assuming the author was unaware of developments on the hardware side of things.
Clearly, you didn’t read the article. What you’re saying is the equivalent of Tesla offering a 30% discount on a new car, while still letting you resell your old car. There’s nothing good enough for you ever?

yeah but people will look up the figures, figure out the statistics are misleading, and be even more entrenched in their 'just the flu' assumption.

there needs to be a better way and I think "your elders' and your friends elders' are vaccinated against the flu, not this and are gonna catch it from you and 30%^ of them straight up dies" seems a better angle and more solid against argumentation.

>A company or individual putting “Facebook” or “Instagram” in their domain name without Facebook’s authorization would constitute trademark infringement.

That is not true in the US.

A trademark consists of both a name and the goods/services which a company provides under that name. If you use the trademarked name in a completely different industry or context from the entity which registered the mark, you aren't infringing on it.

So if you had a business selling...I dunno, physical books made out of faces, then you might be able to use "Facebook" without infringing.

In practice, Facebook could spend enough money to convince the legal system that they are right, but merely having some letters in a domain name does not imply infringement.
Yes it can.

WaveNet, if I remember correctly, has 1-from-256 encoding of input features. And 1-from-256 encoding of output features.

It is extremely sparse.

If you look at language modeling, then things there are even sparsier - typical neural language model has 1-from-several-hundredths-of-thousands for full language (for Russian, for example, it is in range of 700K..1.2M words and it is much worse for Finnish and German) and 1-from-couple-of-tens-of-thousands for byte pair encoded language (most languages have encoding that reduced token count to about 16K distinct tokens, see [1] for such an example).

[1] https://bellard.org/nncp/

The image classification task also has sparcity at the output and, if you implement it as RNN, a sparsity at input (1-from-256 encoding of intensities).

Heck, you can engineer you features to be sparse if you want to.

I also think that this paper is an example of "if you do not compute you do not have to pay for it", just like in GNU grep case [2].

3% is as good as a number drawn from a hat at this stage of the epidemic, be it drawn from Nature, Cell or whatever.
Also, those 3% assume you are contaminated. You can't compare that to a short-to-medium term run of preventive chloroquine adminstration, which has a rather high incidence of minor side effects.

You are statistically comparing oranges to apples. This behaviour increases your risk of hurting yourself by a large margin compared to simply following WHO recommendations.
But perhaps the reason they have been so lax in enforcing that particular rule is because they know they are doing it themselves in their own apps, and didn't want to attract lawsuits?

This is obvious to me. Since Hadoop came out, (a lot of) people have been giving up on even forming algorithms and just dumping data into machine learning and hoping for the best. I recall someone high up at Google complaining about it.

We need to get back to forming algorithms as well as concepts and first principles. We cannot and should not expect ML to brute force finding patterns and just sit back and relax.

Here is another prediction for you: we will not solve ray-tracing in games and movie CGI with more hardware. We will need some algorithm that gets us 80-90% of the way there in a smart way.

Everyone supports SAML, not everyone supports OIDC, and for everyone besides GSuite SAML is absolutely still the default even from the IdP side.

There's a subtle difference where the de facto best practices deployment for SAML includes cryptographic audience restriction: each IdP/RP pair generates a key just for that interaction. With OIDC, GSuite (or whatever) authenticates you to the RP. With SAML, _a SAML configuration on your GSuite install does_. You want this, because optional (largely: non-cryptographic) audience restrictions fail more than half the time and when they do they fail open.

(If you're thinking "if that's true why isn't all of this just Kerberos": you're not wrong, at least from a protocol design perspective.)

Cool thinking.

And thought provoking. I find myself increasingly being annoyed by GUI's with their rich interfaces. An interesting project is lazygit which uses gocui. For me it is useful and appealing alternative to the command line git. With each pane you press a meta key to get list of commands for the pane, and it would be interesting to see a mash up with replit somehow.
I don't think so. Keep in mind that DL training is only a minuscule part of GPGPU applications. HPC is still a huge market with a strong demand for compute accelerator cards.

In practice, TPUs and SoCs with inference extensions are a much bigger threat for NVIDIA in the cloud and automotive business.
Embeddings tables aren't hard on the GPU (being only a lookup table), and the output softmax still requires you do the full matrix-multiply. The label may be sparse, but the computation is far from sparse.

In medicine and biology, evidence IS based on percentages. That's why all these papers that present possible mechanisms with no numbers to back them up are confusing people. You need thousands to hundreds of thousands of datapoints. This is not an exact engineering discipline (yet..) unfortunately.
The consequences of it are, and not understanding the nature of exponential growth also creates risk in itself (in the form of severely underestimating risk).

The biggest problem with SAML is probably XML-DSig. The spec is ridiculously complex, but unfortunately the implementations are no better. You're de facto either using libxmlsec1 or the Java stdlib. libxmlsec1 is (anecdotally) a terrifying mess of C that most SAML integration libraries desperately want you to run in-process with your server.

There's a totally palatable mini-SAML within SAML waiting to come out. It already exists informally: it's whatever GSuite and Okta's default metadata.xml will give you, and it summarizes to "one signature, on the outside, no encryption".

You kind of need to do SAML, though, unless you don't care about selling to companies at all. Smaller companies may or may not be able to do OIDC, but pretty much everyone can do SAML. You just want to have someone else be responsible for the SAML laundromat part (that is: ingesting gross SAML from the Internet and translating it to a friendly consistent format, which doesn't necessarily have to be SAML too). For all its flaws, Cognito fits that bill, as does Okta.
