NASA spends peanuts, and part of those peanuts is spent on fostering innovation. When I hear "Lets just feed the poor!" I feel ill. We're not so desperate we can't do right by our people, without tearing down everything else that's good. NASA's budget isn't going to feed the poor for more than 10 minutes.

universities are organisations, which all force some incarnation of an internet usage policy. better still, the students are paying an arm and a leg for their lack of privacy. wouldn't it be great for the non-technical end user if these Just Works™ software could just bypass firewalls by way of VPNs, common ports, obfuscated servers or the like?
A really thought-provoking argument. I suppose that when it comes to choosing "the right tool" the important thing is to optimize globally across the problems that your organization will be solving.

But if you want to be able to optimize both globally and locally, well that's just an engineering problem!

Two examples spring to mind:

1. Lisp. Lisp's metaprogramming facilities allow you to build the language into the specialized tools that you need, while still having the common runtime and base language.

2. Unix. There a hundreds (possibly even thousands) of little programs running on my Linux machine written in probably dozens of languages. For the most part, I have no idea (nor do I care) what language they are written in. That's because the Unix model puts a strong emphasis on the protocols for communicating between programs.
Of course you are going to let everyone live in premium location of their choice.

It's implementation-defined, not undefined (see [0]). That means the behavior is well-defined by your implementation rather than by the C standard, so the code may work on one implementation but not on others.

An interesting story is when Trump nominated the CEO of Accuweather to be the head of NOAA. This is someone who would have benefited from keeping NOAA and the National Weather Service from doing their jobs. Typically the head of NOAA is a scientist, not a businessman with obvious conflicts of interest. Fortunately, it didn't stick. https://www.politico.com/story/2017/10/12/trump-noaa-chief-a...

The difficulty of the problem is that of a 50-way classification. If the only goal was to minimize WER, a simple post-processing step choosing the nearest sentence in the training set could easily bring the WER down further. They've chosen to do it the way they did it presumably to show that it can be done that way, and I don't fault them for it.

They claim that word-by-word decoding implies that the network has learned to identify words. This may well be true, but it isn't possible to claim that from their result. For example, let's say you average all electrode samples over the relevant timespan, transform that representation with a FFW neural net, and feed that into the an RNN decoder. It would still predict word-by-word, on a representation that necessarily does not distinguish between words (because the time dimension has been averaged over). Such a model can still output words in the right order, just from the statistics of the training sentences being baked into the decoder RNN.
There's a shortage of N95 masks, but even a home made mask works wonders. If you are infected and wearing a mask, when you cough, your chance of infecting others is much lower.

Neurologist here. There is an inherent problem of physics. The skull acts as a low-pass filter of the brain's activity. You lose a lot of information if you don't go under the skull.

I don't think EEGs can really give the spatial and temporal resolution we really need to extract the necessary information for thought decoding (or encoding).
I believe Mazda made this decision not too long ago.

I hope this is a sign of things to come for the automobile industry.

Essentially, why I don't like touchscreens in automobile media interfaces:

-no tactile response

-more distracting due to the increased dexterity required to get where you need and the greater necessity to focus your eyes

-less intuitive than button/wheel controls (in my experience)

-uglier interfaces (again, in my experience)
The erosion of trust also means telling people not to panic buy becomes less authoritative, and it’s giving credibility to extremist theories. Noble lies are a kind of moral credit card.

Nikolas from Prisma here, a realtime API for Prisma is certainly on our roadmap – as Prisma doesn't provide a GraphQL interface, this most likely will not come in the form of GraphQL subscriptions though but another (programmatic) realtime API.

However, using Nexus [1] on top of Prisma, you'll be then be able to turn Prisma's realtime API into GraphQL subscriptions. All of this is quite a bit further down the road, but certainly on our radar and part of future plans!

We have an open feature request for that here: https://github.com/prisma/prisma/issues/298

Its very hard to maintain an Android app to the same quality that people expect from Apple. I can see why they'd want to shrink that headcount or redirect to a more productive endeavor. As a bonus, Apple devices get a better weather app than the competition. The API part doesn't make as much sense, since they could make a pretty penny reselling that data without as much support burden.
Depends. MILCs are generally pretty hard on battery and keeping a constant GPS lock would exacerbate their generally poor "active standby" (camera turned on with the viewfinder or LCD active) battery life. On the other hand, my smartphone, using both GPS and augmented network location services can instead very quickly acquire a lock when needed with minimal battery usage only when needed. And it also has a way larger battery, and the system is generally more optimized.
yah, it's therapeutic, and it is a great supplement of fresh food to compliment shelf stable foods.
I mean, it certainly isn’t perfect at all. It has the down side that you are invited to stare at the screen. But if I’m disciplined, I can get away with a click-glance approach to adjusting things, which is still better than the multi-second hover I had to do with the touchscreen.

What kills me is when "legacy" automakers have dashboards with 40 buttons on them, of which you use may 5 regularly. It's especially annoying when the functions I use every day are buried in nested menus, but the button for setting the clock, sending a text, or satellite radio is right there front and center.

Good point--you're talking about the embedded handset or something else? That said, as you hint at: not quite the same thing from a threat model perspective :)
The actionable thing is the graph about two thirds of the way down - passthrough rate vs performance.

That's the whole point of the article. Two possible conclusions:

One is that companies are cargo-culting hiring, and have absolutely no idea what they're doing. Clearly whatever the process is supposed to do, it's not hiring the "best people" by any realistic metric.

The other is that the process is working as intended, but the actual goals are not stated. This might be true if the aim is to hiring difficult and stressful for candidates to discourage job hopping. (Other interpretations are also possible. [1])

If a company wants the "best people" it needs to follow up hiring with performance tracking, and identify and reward the people and hiring practices which increase performance. [2]

If companies want hiring to continue as a social/political game which stresses and discourages developers, the system is working for them, and they don't need to change it.

Startups need to decide what kind of company they want to be. [3]

[1] IMO there may be a strong element of corporate narcissism in the process. It's not about hiring good people, it's about allowing the CEO and senior management to feel that their company is better than those other companies which hire these people. In reality "these people" may be a bit more than averagely competent, but with a few standouts most won't be insanely great or A players or 10X or whatever the goal is supposed to be.

[2] Which assumes it's possible to measure performance, which is a whole other issue.

[3] I'd bet almost anything that in reality there's a lot of "Oh, you were working with X at Y? Awesome!" affecting hiring choices in SV.
> Because HR has professionals and if they can't tell a better story than what we are seeing, then retaliation is the reason 90% of the time.

There are regulatory / liability reasons which may prevent HR from telling their side of the story. The employee is not under the same rules and can say whatever they want without HR being able to refute it.

What I like about zoom is that I can click on a zoom link and it opens up my video conference pretty quickly. Last thing I want is to go through installation steps when people are waiting for me on a call. I understand the security implications but it's a trade-off between user experience and lesser security.
I sympathize but wouldn't a strike be illegal during a crisis?
Nobody but bureaucrats think the cookie warnings are ay good. I advocate self-help, like using the Brave browser.

But the issue here is not your nonsensical digression into cookie warnings. It is: Zoom's docs & UI are confusing ordinary, mass users into inadvertently revealing private chats. Zoom should fix that.

I believe a simple baseline fix would be: offer 2 downloads, one clearly marked/named as "shared transcript - what all participants saw", another clearly marked/named as "personal transcript - what you saw".
Not true for me. I've used several distros (including Ubuntu) with Gnome on my 4K XPS and the worst I've had to do is go into Gnome settings and click 200% GUI scale. I'm pretty sure Ubuntu set that automatically.
If you make it as far as internship to hire, the company is signaling more of a commitment than just temp work. It's basically like a probationary period.

I wouldn't trust Oracle. Is this going to be like VirtualBox which is "free" and "open source" except for the extension pack on the very same page that you can one click download?

If anyone isn't aware, they track the IP address of that extension and if they can trace it back to your company they then come calling for money. It's basically a sort of litigation honey pot. Sure, it's all legal, but it's such a nasty dark pattern and so easy of a mistake to make for end users that it should be illegal.
My bad... I meant 11 months. Thanks for pointing that out. In any case, the overall point stands. At a minimum, most people would benefit from this kind of CD over the money sitting in a savings account. It gives you a low, but decent return while you wait to invest in the market (or other things).

It appears that the FDA agrees with both of these points and specifically addresses them in the authorization. From the original post:

"The hydroxychloroquine sulfate may only be used to treat adult and adolescent patients who weigh 50 kg or more hospitalized with COVID-19 for whom a clinical trial is not
available, or participation is not feasible."

"Public health authorities about the need to have a process in place for performing adverse event monitoring and compliance activities designed to ensure that adverse events and all medication errors associated with the use of the authorized chloroquine phosphate or hydroxychloroquine sulfate are reported to FDA, to the extent practicable given emergency circumstances"

> A) they're only tangentially related to the work, meaning they include bad hires and exclude good hires

And that's the reason many companies have to set the standards so high in the first place: excluding false positives (bad hires) is so important in practice that this distorts the whole hiring process. Fine as far as that goes of course, but it does mean that people who practice their leetcode questions are basically stuck with very expensive (per B and C) lottery tickets.

I think everyone knows at this point that algorithmic puzzles are not desirable; the real question is whether one can do better, even at FAANG scale.
No? They're not drafted, you can't compel grocery store workers to work. It just turns out that we rely more than people thought on some of the least protected of our citizens, and this is a pretty good chance to have their voices be heard.

That sounds like really bad management. But not only from decision makers bur also from operators. If you’re not using a resource (like unused EC2 instances) why not just turn it off. It sounds like gross incompetence from all the parts.
Thank goodness. I bought a Honda quite a few years ago and got the top trim, but insisted that they remove the navigation system as just using it as a radio was far worse because it was entirely touchscreen focused. This might keep on me on Honda's for a while.

Edit: Wait... they're just talking about climate controls here. They're not adding any dials. Apparently other carmakers are going just touchscreen for everything. I guess its just gotten worse over the last few years. Tesla can sort of get away with it. But goodness a huge part of the reason I liked a lot of luxury cars was they tended to do more dials instead of touchscreens.

Haven't tried this out but, from the write up, I don't see what the convenience of this is over just using git + {kubectl, kustomize, helm}.

The Kubernetes ecosystem is rife with tools like this, and it feels like such a chore to just keep up with every new templating system for YAML files. I have started to just write Go programs that directly talk to the Kubernetes API and manage my rollouts (one step away from operators).

The barometer data that comes from phones (both Android and iOS) is extremely resilient and there is a lot of value to be derived from it. Ongoing research by Cliff Mass and team (at UW) shows that machine learning can help bias-correct and error-correct barometric pressure data on the fly with very good results. That data can also be assimilated into WRF to make forecasts with higher accuracy.

I work on a related app to do that barometer data on Android: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.allclearwe... (US only for now).

One of the points in the older threads was "e2e by default". According to the github issue [1] it looks like E2E is now enabled by default in Riot.

It is very clear that the aviation industry is NOT risk averse. They are averse to losing money (via needing to spend money to redesign systems, recertify interfaces, re-train pilots, rebuy new equipment and simulators, all of those reduce risk but are capital intensive). But they are no longer risk averse. They might never have been risk averse at all - the roots of the aviation industry is exceedingly risk seeking in the first place (to fly is itself a risk seeking activity - and that's something understood by all pilots and all aviation and aerospace engineers on day 1 of wanting to fly)

You can say the civilian oversight groups that seek to regulate the industry are risk averse, but the companies that build the planes themselves, if they had their say, we'd be flying mach 3 upside down all day.
