That's exactly me!

I can easily walk in circles a few hundred times when thinking, sometimes hours at a time if there's a particularly big thing to think about, and do it with other people around if I forget not to.

I would love a workplace with long distances to walk around and to have walking meetings.

In fact, what a great idea. I'll try to ask people for walking meetings in future. (With sensitivity to the fact some people find walking hard, even painful (back problems, knees, energy levels etc.), especially if it's for a long time.)

The mortality rate is around 1% which is more than 10 times than flu. The hospitalization rate is 15% and the ICU rate is much bigger than flu. If you run out of ICU room, more people will die.
Neither have I. There'd be no point.

"One large-scale review, published in 2012, found that annual physical exams do nothing to improve a person’s disease and mortality risks" [1], while costing us billions of dollars, and taking doctors' time away from patients who actually need it.

If people have health issues that need treating, then absolutely go see a doctor when you can. If it's simply been a year and they're not in a high-risk population and have no reason to believe anything has changed, then don't bother.

TFA: Copyright law specifically excludes "systems" and "methods of operation" from copyright protection.

Sounds like a "clean room implementation" is needed, and that Google copied more than what was needed for inter-op.

If so, Google might lose the case, but the legal precedent would be you can copy apis but not implemention (unless that's the only way to implement them).
I like my Model 3 pretty well, but maintenance cost is a losing argument at this point, still. So far, the real world numbers show that Teslas cost more to maintain than a similar ICE car. It may eventually be true that the simplicity of an EV means lower maintenance costs, but we are not their yet.
Here's some additional context in from a lower court: Oracle Am., Inc. v. Google Inc., No. C 10-03561 WHA (N.D. Cal. Jun. 8, 2016) [1]:

"Oracle has portrayed the Java programming language as distinct from the Java API library, insisting that only the language itself was free for all to use. Turns out, however, that in order to write at all in the Java programming language, 62 classes (and some of their methods), spread across three packages within the Java API library, must be used. Otherwise, the language itself will fail. The 62 "necessary" classes are mixed with "unnecessary" ones in the Java API library and it takes experts to comb them out. As a result, Oracle has now stipulated before the jury that it was fair to use the 62 "necessary" classes given that the Java programming language itself was free and open to use without a license"

"That the 62 "necessary" classes reside without any identification as such within the Java API library (rather than reside within the programming language) supports Google's contention that the Java API library is simply an extension of the programming language itself and helps explain why some view the Java API declarations as free and open for use as the programming language itself. At least to the extent of the 62 "necessary" classes, Oracle agrees."

I don’t think traditional car manufacturers benefit from dealerships. That’s just some classic US regulatory capture, where car manufacturers can’t sell directly to the consumer to help protect the consumer. Because when you think of someone trying to protect you, you think a car salesman.
It seems to me much of what is considered "professional" is the result of corporations trying to control employee behaviour to avoid liability. I hope we can do better than that.

I disagree.

Maybe your specialty is a different case, but there's no way on Earth that I would have gotten access to the equipment I used without the lab. Doesn't have to be MIT's lab, but someone has to have the ridiculous amounts of money necessary to construct and outfit advanced research labs if a student is to replicate that experience.

And that hypothetical, "someone", would have been unlikely to allow me to use it simply because I taught myself a bit about, say, nanomaterials online.

Let's be frank, if you need a lab, you're screwed.

I'm pretty sure that's not actually in question any more. And it's quite orthogonal to the question of whether it's appropriate to simplify "copyright of structure, sequence and organization of the API" down to "copyright of the API".
FreeBSD / PS4 is a bad example. Sony gave nothing back. And very few people know or care that the PS4 runs essentially Sony's hacked up FreeBSD 9.

>Elon Musk and the environmental virtues of electric cars

this is arguably a pretty big red herring and despite good intentions the focus on electric cars will probably be a disaster by prolonging the broken American car-centric development.

Mind you an electric vehicle is only as clean as its primary source of energy (at the moment its lifetime emissions are about 70% of a traditional car), and the production of particular the batteries is ecologically problematic to say the least.
I have a question that's slightly off on a tangent.

The most insidious part of this is I've never been sure if use of the site was being discouraged by the powers that be or if a more mundane, sensible explanation existed. It could be the authorities effectively censoring, it could be Chinese internet companies wanting Western competitors to have a reputation for being slow and unreliable, it could just be mundane technicalities like not bothering with peerage agreements for economic reasons, or it could be an alignment of interests between all of the above. I think not knowing who or what to blame, or even if there is a problem other than your personal connection, is the point. "My connection to certain sites seems inconveniently slow and maybe the government is doing it" is just way less sharp than "the government won't let me see this and likely has something to hide."

As counter-intuitive as it is, throttling without blocking is a more effective form of information control than blatantly blocking. The flow of information, like the flow of a river, cannot be stopped but it can be diverted and otherwise engineered.

I'm fairly sure I was right in the above analysis which would imply the minus version cannot have any substantial advantages.

> please note that you cannot have zero mean outputs of residual in the res x = x + relu (Ax + b) and you obviously can have zero mean outputs in the subtraction case (res x = x - relu (Ax + b)

This is incorrect. You seem to assume x is positive an therefore adding something relu'd onto it will take it further from zero, while your subtractive one can pull it towards and beyond zero. The problem in this reasoning is that in your version you sequentially subtract the residuals so you have the exact symmetric effect, getting further away from zero.

It's like a left hand and a right hand. Not the same, but have the same effect.

I said all I could at this point. If you still have your experiments set up, just try negating your input to the network and initialize randomly. The accuracies observed will be indistinguishable from using your variant. The network is not the same but the training procedure yields a sample from the same distribution.

Great stuff - looking forward to exploring this properly.
Hey all - I created this, after receiving a 3rd "cancelled conference" email in as many days, I realized while driving home that this is going to be (at least) a few really slow months for research dissemination.

Happy to answer any questions!

FYI for the technical folks, I was able to whip this up in a day using some really amazing resources: https://tailwindui.com basically has some great copy-pasteable HTML templates, and https://undraw.co has lots of royalty-free svg graphics. Minimal data collection app in Go for the backend.
That is the only valid reason I can see for all the canceling. Given that a vaccine is 1-2 years out, it is likely to spread through the population regardless. All that canceling does really is slow it down so the healthcare infrastructure has time to adjust.
Journals can reject a paper on editorial grounds – for example, Nature doesn't publish every valid paper submitted to it.

If it's "not quite live," then they don't "already do that." There is value to being part of a first-class experience as it plays out, even as a second-class observer, that's over and above dealing with a glorified educational DVR and meaningless certification. But the point is that MIT et al. have lost a credible rebuttal to anyone floating the notion of, "Why not?"; to anyone wondering why the live academic lectures of old, that were ostensibly open to the public but that were limited to people who could afford to be in a particular building at a particular time, haven't seen their progeny truly open to the public as the accessibility of mass communication has grown.
I’m 100% not making that point, nor do I believe it

> Very small percentage of infected people end up going to hospitals.

It's 10-20% according to most estimates, enough to flood every hospital system in the world. Once that happens the death toll starts creeping towards 20% as they can't treat patients and even people otherwise treatable problems can't get treated. This is the scenario that needs to be avoided.

> Vast majority of people who contract the virus just have mild cold or flu symptoms.

Mild in the medical sense, everyone not hospitalized is considered mild. In the everyday human sense this translates from nothing to extremely sick. If your friend had pneumonia you'd be concerned for them wouldn't you? Well that's a "mild" case.

Or perhaps the walk to starbucks will help him get in shape.

Unlikely, I'd say. If you fail to upgrade when a new release is made, are they at fault?

In my experience gevent is great, gunicorn not so much. Gevent has a built in HTTP server, it's fantastic. Just take care to avoid CPU bound or blocking code. I use PyMySQL instead of MySQLdb. If speed is a problem then use PyPy. Last summer I spent a month optimizing and updating our public facing django website, getting rid of gunicorn was a big improvement.

Great question - I have heard both of the options you mentioned as possible explanations for the decline of new cases.

Personally I like to give countries the benefit of the doubt. As difficult as it sounds to quarantine and stop the spread of a virus in a country with 1+ billion people and multiple 10M+ cities, China is one of the few countries that could actually pull it off.

At the end of the day, the option you pick probably depends on whether or not you trust the numbers provided :)

20 years ago, my shitty university didn't have kitchens in the dorms (except for the Engineering/Honors dorm, and just one floor). They'd confiscate George Foreman grills as a fire hazard during health and safety checks. We found dead rats in bug traps we put out. I got pneumonia and had to recover in the dorms.

oh and it was 2 years mandatory (most schools it's just 1 .. ours was out of money and shitty). I was so glad to get out of there. Those things are cesspools of ... cess. Get you meningitis shots kids.
It has not hit my state yet, but I plan on telling the boss that I am not coming in until they have a vaccine and that we can all work from home anyway. I'm OCD and a germophobe, unless of course, my own germs are fine. But I never touch door handles at work and struggle to shake hands with anyone. Hoping my company gets on board.

Being your kind of company that requires people coming into the office... there really is no way to prevent it. One day someone can be somewhere, and walk into the path of a sneeze, or touch a door handle, and that's it. Brings it back to the office the next day. Anyone with kids... that just goes to show you how fast it can spread.

Not quite the answer you're looking for, but:

Some systems control fans via voltage (the old way of doing it), instead of modern PWM (which has been the standard for about a decade); and even with PWM, it should be viewed as an average of the voltage instead of merely as the peak voltage during pulses.

No matter how you end up controlling your fans, you're not giving them straight unfettered 12v, either you're controlling them via voltage (and they spend most of their time at around 5-7v), or you're controlling them via PWM (with a significantly reduced load cycle).

Some ultralight laptops have switched to 5v for their fans, but that does not seem to be any sort of standard. I have not seen a GPU that uses 5v for fans, and by the time GPUs needed big enough fans to have to control the speed on, they were exclusively PWM, and I am not aware of a GPU that used voltage control on it's fan.
