Depends what you mean by “better”. I believe this is supposed to be a bubble. The issue specifically in HN case is most people don’t realize that.

If you mean, how would I present a variety of ideas but not let it get out of control with an extreme one way or another that puts common people off... easy.

Remove the score system. That little number in the corner is cancer.

Keep the vote system but only highlight when “many” people agree or disagree. Otherwise post are presented neutrally and the merit of the content must be evaluated. Even keep they grey out system but not at 4 people disagree, at 10 or so. It’s easy enough to find 4 people here that will want to hide the fact the WHO has dropped many balls during covid including faking that video interview dropout to not address that Taiwan is its own country and not an “area of China” - doesn’t mean it’s not true.

The thing that might not be clear here is that I do think this is all intentional and you used the right word “community”... but I think the danger is even long time users don’t know this, and think their ideas are “just right”, not that they are being cultivated into the same bubble they themselves are cultivating. Is everyone aware the “community” is not entirely natural?

The easy way to think about this is to steelman a topic you know a lot about. If you were to argue the other side of a topic, how would it be presented on this site? (Example, argue some debatable aspect against anthropogenic climate change) The answer to that is most likely hidden and downvoted into oblivion, so much so that it creates a chilling effect for anyone that would disagree in the future. That is wrong imo.

Edit: if you need proof there is a bubble with chilling effect, these posts are being hidden by anonymous disagreement :D

Is it? Does that range start at 0 or 1 or some other value? Does it include 15 or exclude it?

Doesn't it? Is that UTC or local time? Or maybe it's CPU ticks? Or maybe the time since the start of the program?

You've basically just demonstrated the assumptions you're used to, not any kind of objective evaluation of the code's understandability.
I think that from mankind's innate curiosity and propensity to teach our young it is impossible to conclude that culture is without pattern. Like so, all of that seems invalidated.

I think that the mistake that postmodernism made was analogous to painting itself into a corner, where people fully studied culture from the outside without immersing themselves in it. They built abstractions until they no longer corresponded to observation and then concluded that there were contradictions in the subject of their study when there was none.

Hi, author here! The git thing is regarding model versioning. The managing of a ton of very large and slightly different binary blobs is not git's strong point imo.

There are a ton of tools trying to fill this void, and they usually provide things like the comparison of different metrics between models versions, which git doesn't provide.

Defense? I think you misread what I stated. Sure, many encryption standards and certifications were created in the 90s and 00s. That doesn't mean all of them stood the test of time - lest we hash out if your perspective is that 3DES is still viable. What I stated was in response to the parent and pointing out, as you quoted:

> "If you're talking about Skype historically (and it seems you are) - then that was before a lot of the strong privacy and encryption conversations were being had in the larger audience of consumers."

Note that I was speaking of "consumers" for the point in time referenced. Many of those consumers were not aware of why they should care about privacy or encryption, you seem to be conflating industry and consumers - of which I was making a much more specific point. This point is obvious when you look at the trend of total encrypted traffic volume which was not the majority in the 90s or 2000s compared to today - of which it is. For reference (and to put this in perspective) Facebook didn't start rolling out required encryption until 2012 [0] - less than 10 years ago. Today most of us couldn't fathom logging into a service that wasn't encrypted. So, while I feel you took my statement out of context - I'm also pointing out that consumer encryption wasn't generally taken seriously in consumer oriented services until into the 2010s.

Cool man! Thanks for sharing :) I wasn't familiar with the chunking approach. I will read more!

Regarding BERT, it indeed may perform better if fine tuned correctly. For a baseline fastText is great because it is super fast and runs on a CPU. It costed me 24$ to run a 24h autotune on a 16 CPU core machine. Also, fastText is great out of the box as it also builds word vectors for subwords, which helps with typos and specific terms that may otherwise be out of vocabulary.

I am betting that fine tuning BERT will cost me at least x10 more. But I this project is a chance to try it out :) Looking forward to v2!

> Does any other nation have Muslim concentration camps

India, according to John Oliver.

Of course, bring up India should not normalize the severity of locking people up in camps in China. This is the point: asking for examples of worse behavior is a moot point because camps are bad even if every nation in the world does it. At the same time, camps in China is not necessarily suitable context in all facets of discussion.

When it comes to topics (like whether supplying masks from China makes it a good actor) with too much subjective variables, I personally like to think about issues as independently as possible. Using this logic, PPE from China, whether purchased or donated, is an act of appreciable good gesture; regardless, hard condemnation is a must regarding their abuses.
> or is it called a false positive because it is a positive for which you made the error of calling it negative?

Not to pick on the non-nativeness of the problem here, but that's not really a way you can use "false". I'd be a lot more comfortable calling an underlying positive that tested negative an "unidentified positive" or a "misdiagnosed positive" [this one really is ambiguous in exactly the way you suggest] or anything else that suggested that the positive was there and an error occurred in noticing it, as opposed to suggesting that the positive wasn't there in the first place.

So, it's a fair complaint for non-native speakers, but you just can't choose all your terminology to meet their needs. :/

Absolutely.

For example, companies in New Zealand are pursuing a coronavirus vaccine. Do you think they really doubt the willingness of Moderna [0] (Boston based biotech company) to sell them the vaccine if it is successful? I'd be willing to bet that no, the primary concern is how long they would have to wait to buy it.

It is, but some libraries do not perform this check. Including TweetNaCl if I recall correctly.

> Modifying A or R instantly makes the signature invalid.

I was talking about modifying them together. Here's what I claim:

B.s = R + A.h
B.s = R + A.h + P - P
B.s =(R + P) + (A.h - P)

And now I'm realising this should work with any point, not just low order points. I'll correct this. Anyway, it's a commutative group we're talking about how could this not work?

> Multiplying the cofactor or not doesn't matter

Perhaps I went over this a bit to fast. Recall that for any low order point P, P.8 = zero. Once you accept this fact, the rest follows pretty smoothly:

B.s = R + A.h
B.s.8 = (R + A.h).8
B.s.8 = R.8 + A.h.8
B.s.8 = R.8 + A.h.8 + zero
B.s.8 = R.8 + A.h.8 + P.8
B.s.8 = (R+P).8 + A.h.8

And now you can see that the weaker equation will give the same result for R and R+P, if P has low order. Not a weakness if we're only doing signatures, but still a source of malleability.

I'll add this explanation in the article, thanks for the feedback.
Ok, let's look at a theoretical business that is designed to survive a pandemic. Well, what is the biggest problem that would affect such a business? Of course, lack of customers! If you don't have customers you also don't need employees. So you can just fire them! Now that we have gotten rid of the first dead weight the next problem is that you still have certain fixed costs. All that real estate is now empty since you fired all your employees. There isn't much you can do except save up money like scrooge McDuck. The easiest way to get that money is by screwing over your employees during good times. Don't give them raises and bonuses. You'll need that money during some government lock down. Now the lockdown is over and your business survived without needing government help.

Maybe you have noticed something. The rich managers don't really a give a damn about the lock down. They have a huge amount of money and mostly diversified their net worth away from their own business. $5 million after a 50% stock market crash is still $2.5 million.

That might sound like a huge loss but only when you forget to consider that there also exist people that aren't managers and they are in the majority. If you lose your job that is pretty much a 100% reduction in income. If you lose your job you can't just kick out the rest of your family to reduce costs. For every manager that is seeing his portfolio dip there are probably a dozen more non-managers having a worse time.

The bank bailouts weren't actually about bailing out banks. The taxpayers were bailing their own money out. Dead banks mean your money is gone. It's like video game servers shutting down. Your stuff is just gone. The managers at the bank probably couldn't care less about their customers losing all their funds.
Can you elaborate on what 'take' and 'total payout' are, and how they relate to each other and the total price of an artwork?
Sure. Just like they can bust the windows in your current house and take all your stuff
you can predict human behavior with big data and linear models/embeddings with a few billion parameters. This works so unbelievably well, I expect that eventually health modelling folks will do this, provided they have enough high quality data.

"The government paying for Coronavirus also provides a financial incentive to not fuck it up so badly next time."

How so?
So for most of those who felt they already had the SARS-COV-2 in Jan or Feb it is very unlikely to be true.

To quote:

Prior to launching the clinical test, Pinsky and his colleagues tested samples collected from the back of the throat or lung airways of 2,888 people who sought care at Stanford Health Care between Jan. 1 and Feb. 26 for respiratory symptoms but who had tested negative for common respiratory viruses. They combined the samples in groups of nine or 10, then tested the pooled samples for the presence of SARS-CoV-2.

Of the 292 groups of pooled samples, only two were positive. Further analysis showed that two people, one in each positive group, were infected with SARS-CoV-2.

“I was a little surprised the prevalence was so low, but it was consistent with what our public health officials in California were observing through normal surveillance methods,” Pinsky said. “Our positives came about the same time that they were identifying an uptick in COVID-19 diagnoses.” The Bay Area’s first COVID-19 diagnosis was made in early February.
Consoles like the Game Boy and DS saw huge opportunities for small teams who kept their budgets in check. But it was always perceived as less important than console work due to the industry’s addiction to technology.

But the Game Boy and DS were the biggest markets of their time. Perhaps we’re finally valuing smaller teams more than the Titanic AAA studios.

Consider Mumble for Synchronous Communication
Sounds like the temporal circuit is acting like a clock, as in a computer chip's clock. Pretty cool.

> We demonstrate that the transitions between default mode and dorsal attention networks are embedded in this temporal circuit, in which a balanced reciprocal accessibility of brain states is characteristic of consciousness. Conversely, isolation of the default mode and dorsal attention networks from the temporal circuit is associated with unresponsiveness of diverse etiologies. These findings advance the foundational understanding of the functional role of anticorrelated systems in consciousness.

`let` is not a terribly hard to understand keyword. Especially if you've had exposure to functional programming. Most academics I knew actually started out programming the functional way, rather than OO. So I'm not sure if I agree 100% with what your saying.

/r/programming is basically "I reposted this from https://news.ycombinator.com"
If your company is well managed then pretty much anything can work. Meetings can be short and to the point. Memos/emails can also be short and to the point. When everyone understands what the ultimate goals are and are allowed to work towards those goals communication is minimal.

Typically, though, goals are unclear and constantly shifting. From that flows multiple tasks that are all high priority up to the point they suddenly become irrelevant. In such an environment communication needs to be continuous. Continuous communication is by necessity synchronous.
Any plans on making a video demo?
In a sense, much of this work is similar to A* search and reinforcement learning. You have a limited view of the world, the responses to your actions are not directly causal, but if you can use the data you have to make reasoned decisions on what parts of the (extremely large) action space are unlikely to pay off, you can avoid wasting resources on them.

The thing with climate is that you don't need to believe in the forecast. You could just look at the PAST results. Let's say just the last 10 years. And compare that to the last 200 years. May be that will teach you that something is going wrong and not going in the right direction.
I believe Elm took some major missteps. Despite doing so many things right with the initial designs (and still one of the best designed front-end experiences) it never grew much beyond the early adopters and it basically remained a fun hobby language.

I criticized the basic lack of communication and the infrequent updates in r/elm (I believed these infrequent updates were going to kill the momentum of Elm). I was concerned that it made the language seem stagnant.

Immediately, after posting it was clear it was a major concern by others as well.
So what did Evan do with that criticism? He spent the opening part of his European talk mocking it [0].

I didn’t take it personally, but it illustrated the kind of mindset Evan has. A good leader would have asked questions about why many feel that way and would have instituted a process for more frequent updates. It became clear to me, outside of being brilliant at designing Elm he is not the person to take it to the next level of adoption. If it’s not moderately adopted it won’t make sense recommending it for any production project, even if it does many things right.

To me it feels like (sadly) Elm will just be a hobby project despite what it could have been.

”CACurrentMediaTime() / CFAbsoluteTimeGetCurrent() […] are guaranteed to be increasing.”

That is true for CACurrentMediaTime, but that time stops when the system sleeps (https://developer.apple.com/documentation/quartzcore/1395996... says it calls mach_absolute_time, and https://developer.apple.co/documentation/driverkit/3438076-m... says ” Returns current value of a clock that increments monotonically in tick units (starting at an arbitrary point), this clock does not increment while the system is asleep.”)

Also (https://developer.apple.com/documentation/corefoundation/154...):

Repeated calls to this function do not guarantee monotonically increasing results. The system time may decrease due to synchronization with external time references or due to an explicit user change of the clock.

You are saying post modernists were on the far left. Fine. I'm saying most of the far left are not any sort of self-styled post modernist. To use an analogy, you're saying "all squares are rectangles". I'm saying "Okay, but not all rectangles are squares".

You are equating post modernists with all of a segment of leftist politics. Perhaps this is unintentionally, but that is the implication I get from your comments. This gives me the impression that you are conflating post-modern philosophy with liberal political philosophy. They are distinct branches of thought.
