Not from personal experience, just from what I've read...

One kind of bad trip is where you are aware you have taken a drug, but you are convinced you screwed up the dose this time and you are dying, and are filled with regret and fear that won't abate for hours. Or you 100% believe you are stuck in this new state and there is no way to get back to normal. Some people can have PTSD from it.

Another is you are confused enough that you have forgotten you have even taken a drug and might not even remember the stuff you were doing after the fact. But when you come around you find yourself in a jail cell or a hospital bed and realize that oh, crap, things must have gone horribly wrong. That's when you find out your roommate tried to calm you down but you apparently thought they were trying to take your soul so you ran into the street and stripped off your clothes to make it harder for the soul-stealers to grab you, then the police were called and wrestled your sweaty body to the ground and then you peed in the back seat of the police car. That kind of stuff.
No more spyware, telemetry, ads or forced/unwanted remote software modifications - I call it „self defense“
I'm afraid you'll need to revisit this "fact".

The project in question, for instance, only uses NodeJS to build its frontend. The backend is written in python.

People who want to use react for their frontend _have_ to use NodeJS, for instance.
I deleted LinkedIn about 5 years ago when I went totally independent. I was super happy not to have it. I recently re-created it because a consulting engagement put me back in the center of "Are you on LinkedIn?" discussions.

I do look forward to closing my account again. There's a lot of "professional posting" that goes on -- professional signaling, and uplifting daily posts. Knowing the people who are posting these things, and how they go about their daily work lives -- it's a lot like fitspo/fitfam posts on Instagram.

And companies I have some back office knowledge of are flat out lying about their responses to the pandemic (No, you didn't respond to the pandemic by laying off any FTEs; yes, you did lay-off all your contractors on day 3; and actually, you did have a round of FTE layoffs subsequently but your posting army got their "I'm so proud of my company and the fact that they didn't do any FTE layoffs" posts out the day before the layoff round).

Glad some people get value out of it. Feels of our social times too much for me.
Agreed, after writing that I realized that "bits" of training is a pretty poor metric. Especially in lossy NN as compared to normal computing. Likely researchers will be busy for decades defining and narrowing down the concepts in the field before useful values could be determined in terms of information theory.

A huge question I didn't even realize was "bits don't relate very directly to a NN ability to perform a task".

No, it really isn't. Library contracts for digital lending vary based on publisher and service provider, but aside from some very small publishers (if that), there is no publisher that allows for unlimited unmetered lending of e-books and certainly not for the price of a print book. Note also that physical books face physical wear and usually have to be retired after 25–40 (at most) lends.
Without an external display. Probably a Java graphics issue like you said.
Both my current job and my previous job were initiated by recruiters who contacted me on LinkedIn.

LinkedIn has been extremely valuable to me. The recruiters who contact me are usually from professional executive search firms and highly relevant, though I only get a few a year.

I think the level of relevance depends on the industry though. I'm in finance/banking and fairly senior.
I'm only passingly familiar with gRPC, so forgive me if it offers some kind of linking like what I describe below.

In REST (and seemingly in gRPC), you define these siloed endpoints to return different types of data. If we're imagining a Twitter REST API, you might imagine Tweet and User endpoints. In the beginning it's simple - the Tweet endpoint returns the message, the user ID, and some metadata. You can query the User

Then Twitter continues to develop. Tweets get media attachments. They get retweets. They get accessibility captions. The Tweet endpoint expands. The amount of information required to display a User correctly expands. Do you inline it in the Tweet? Do you always require a separate request to the User, which is also growing?

As the service grows, you have this tension between reusability and concision. Most clients need only some of the data, but they all need different data. If my understanding of gRPC is correct, it would have this similar kind of tension: business objects that gain responsibilities will likely gain overhead with every new object that is added, since the clients have no way of signaling which ones they need or don't need.

In GraphQL, you define your object model separately from how it's queried. So you can define all of these things as separate business objects: a Tweet has a User, Users have Tweets, Tweets can link to Media which has accessibility caption fields, etc. Starting from any entry point to the graph, you can query the full transitive closure of the graph that you can reach from that entry point, but you don't pay for the full thing.

This relaxes the tension between reusability and concision. Each querier can request just the data that it needs, and assuming the backend supports caching and batching when appropriate, it can have some assurances that the backend implementation is only paying for what you use.
We're taught since childhood that one should only drink filtered or boiled water. It's not a matter of taste, it's a matter of pathogenic microorganisms. I would feel very uncomfortable drinking water directly from the plumbing without it going through a filter.
How else would you define there to be only two winning numbers then? If you define the winning number afterwards, there’s no way telling how many numbers of those would’ve been in circulation.

>That brings up another issue, that employment background checks are increasingly checking social media posts for "questionable" activity.

Honestly, can you blame them in the current climate? If they can find something that is seriously questionable (I leave the definition of that to the reader), anyone else can too. And no company wants either internal dissent or an external PR hit because someone they hired ranted online about something that's outside the scope of "civilized" discourse as determined by the standards of the arbiters of appropriate public discussion.

Oh, I don’t have problems deriving the Taylor expansion of anything. It’s just that when I need it my main focus is on something else. My productivity has increased a lot since I started putting those often used things in Anki so I used could use them without having to look them up or derive them every time.
I'm glad the author is talking about this problem, but I think there's a slight misidentification of the cause.

I don't think it's that we're supposed to be bad at things, it's that we're expected to already be good at things. This still applies (irrationally) even when:

1. There is no mechanism provided for becoming good at the things we're expected to be good at.

2. Most people aren't good at the things we're expected to be good at.

The underlying thing here, is that ignorance, a temporary condition, is conflated with stupidity, a permanent condition.

Carol Dweck puts this another way: she describes a "fixed" mindset, where people believe that mistakes are examples of their inherent value, and therefore fear taking risks, and try to hide their mistakes. This is contrasted with a "growth" mindset, in which mistakes are seen as a necessary part of growth and risks are seen as learning opportunities.

Also related is Brene Brown's theory of vulnerability as being a necessary part of forming relationships.

I will say, I'm not entirely convinced by all the details of either Carol Dweck's mindset theory or Brene Brown's vulnerability theory, but the generalities seem to be evident in my own life.

EDIT: I'll also add that this conflation is particularly damaging to people and communities where intelligence is highly valued, and people base much of their self-worth in being knowledgeable. My personal experience is that growing up I based a lot of my self-worth in "being smart" so anyone disagreeing with me or pointing out something I didn't know felt like an attack on the very thing that made me feel worthwhile. Building real self-esteem made it possible for me to start seeing that when I don't know something that doesn't decrease my value as a person. This has allowed me to admit I don't know things more often, and actually fill in some of those gaps with real knowledge. I'm still a growing person, and I'm still not good at this, but the progress I have made has improved my life immensely.

As far as spread/death differences, population density was a clear multiplier, as would be expected. Policy effects weren’t seen in early days because there were no policy differences, just population density and global travel ones.

The rise differential now is the first good example of measurement of policy effects.

These are not political points, just data points.

> Nvidia has always had super high quality Linux drivers.

I assume you've never used an optimus enabled laptop on Linux? Or dealt with the horribly fragmented driver versions? Or the fact the binary blob installer likes to dump random files all over your system? Or DRM/KMS issues in the past? The wayland incompatibilities and refusal to support the GBM kernel API is just the latest in a long history of terrible Linux support.

AMD just works out of the box - high quality and fast drivers with zero config required.
Example of author's point?
It sounds silly, but set aside time for a purpose is a good thing. A friend of mine and his spouse do a twice a year “offsite” where they go camping somewhere and spend half of the Saturday talking about where they are in the year financially, relationship, what they want to accomplish as a couple, etc
Launch the Right Features, Faster
I found that, as a person who (sometimes) creates things, my attitude towards other people who create things has significantly shifted.

When I was younger I would just see the fault -- the typos, the narcissism, the pointlessness, the already-been-done-better-by-others -- of people's work. But after trying a bit, it sometimes (for the same reasons the OP talks about) creating anything new ends up being really hard in part because while you struggle everyone is shouting "lame!" from the sidelines (and doing nothing). You see this a lot on this site in particular -- the "middlebrow dismissal" HN is famous for.

So now, even when I see something that I genuinely think is lame, I think of this problem and keep my negativity to myself. I might give useful criticism but I try to keep the balance in mind. Even if you publish something you've made that is kinda lame, I still think it is awesome that you are taking the effort to finish something. The best way to get better is by making multiple attempts.

> The top layer of management's target is the desired outcome.

Kinda. Top managers tend to have a much shorter time preference than shareholders. The incentives are aligned only when all shareholders are of the active trading kind (if that ever happens on any company).

« A useful tool is dangerous » is what I teach children. Some could say that a blunt chisel is more dangerous than a sharp one, but that’s the next level class :)

Risk is accident probability x damage potential. I guess that if you think your nature increases the probability factor, then I would choose the tools with the least damage potential, I would stay off power tools.
I know: I just stated that "organizing" it was expensive.

I do know that reviewing is free (I have done it).
I haven't seen any evidence that the shrinking earnings of authors are related to piracy. From what I've read, publishers are simply retaining more of the profits for themselves and, often, theorizing that piracy is somehow raising their costs yet providing little by way of documentation.

Sanctions prevent MATLAB use at some Chinese universities
I just wanted to add a story as well - my dad was diagnosed with a very rare type of stomach cancer called GIST about 15 years ago in Poland. At the time, he was one of ~6 other people in the entire country with this diagnosis, and the diagnosis was....bleak to say the least, I think the doctors were cautiously giving him 6-12 months max. However, company Novartis has just certified their "Glivec" drug specifically to use against GIST, since it targets the same cell pathways. Now, the problem - Poland does have nationalized healthcare, but Glivec was insanely expensive - basically a box of Glivec cost around as much as an annual pay for many people in Poland at the time....and my dad had to take two boxes per month. And no, because it hasn't been proven to work against GIST yet, it was not on the list of refunded drugs - so my dad was placed on a controlled trial conducted by the largest oncological hospital in Warsaw, where the study funded the drug for him. Long story short - the drug worked miracles, my dad not only recovered, he lived another decade after that(died of another cancer that sadly didn't have a miracle cure this time).

But - other people in this study didn't get the drug. I don't know if they were given placebo or just something else instead. My point being - they didn't survive, my dad did. After the study was concluded, the drug is now paid for by the national health service and anyone who needs Glivec can get it.

So why isn't this a critique of the nationalized system? Well, because the way I see it - in a private health care system, no one in this group would survive, because no one in Poland could ever afford this treatment. At least some of the people were still given a chance because the system has enough flexibility to at least try new and experimental treatments.
So pyinfra itself won't do this - but because inventory/etc is written in Python it's possible to easily achieve this by using boto3 directly in the inventory file.

The use of Python for the inventory + deploy code makes it possible to integrate pyinfra with almost any external tool, without specific support in pyinfra (that's the theory, at least!).
Organizing it and providing the "quality stamp" is what I was referring to.
I never really got into Facebook, but as far as I can tell LinkedIn is mandatory Facebook for work. TFA hit the nail on the head with "I don't want people to think I'm a weirdo" being the reason to use LinkedIn. The only value in having the account is in not having to explain to colleagues why I don't have one.
Sure, as long as you acknowledge that trying to date your employees/manager as a regular part of your professional interactions is also not "in any way a good idea". Getting your translation files mixed up when communicating can make anything seem weird and out of place. Find the root - "intentional interaction with the other party within the established context of the existing socio-personal relationship for the purpose of strengthening and improving said relationship" - then retranslate into the environment in question. You date your wife and hold one-on-ones with co-workers. Its not weird, its just the wrong translation.
A bit off-topic, but speaking of SSDs, how do you compare them when shopping around? I see different brands and models advertising similar features at different price points, and I know enough to look at the throughput, IOPS, but beyond that it's hard to tell how to evaluate differences. e.g. should consumers be weary of QLC? Do the models and brands matter a lot? Can you somewhat trust listed lifetimes? Are there other specs worth paying attention to? How should they be evaluated? Anyone have thoughts/links on comparing modern SSDs?
I imagine they’re considering offering GPT-3, which would be cost prohibitive to fine-tune for most people. I also I heard inference was too slow to be practical. Perhaps they have some FPGA magic up their Microsoft sleeves.

Just ignore the idiots if it works for you. If you are a public figure online and your ideas/thoughts are viewable by the entire planet, don't expect everyone to think they are good ones. The entire planet is not your friends, just a bunch of idiots looking for temporary amusement/distraction.
> Can I agree with his overall premise but disagree with thinking that scheduling weekly one-on-one's with your wife is in any way a good idea?

Some folks have a gut-level extremely bad reaction to structuring or treating relationships (romantic or otherwise) "scientifically" or in some structured way. I'm one of them. Grosses me out as surely as seeing maggots burrowing in my steak. It's not rational and goes against everything I rationally believe about the power of systems and environment to engineer success, and I've had to learn to work against that feeling pretty often, but, there you go. Knowing that doesn't get rid of the feeling and tendency toward aversion.

I suspect the people making posts that "pissed off" OP were largely having this reaction and didn't get that not everyone has it.

author here. I use Google frequently to search Reddit, along with Google's Search Tools to search by time. However, I believe Reddit is updating their pages more frequently so that they get indexed more by Google. This makes searching for posts within a certain timeframe problematic since the dates do not reflect the actual post date.

I made this small Chrome extension to add how along ago a post was made, the number of comments and number of upvotes to Google search results.

I also open sourced it so you can find the repo here: https://github.com/built-by-as/RedditSearchHelper

You don't know that there was oversharing. Or in any case, consider situations in which they're not oversharing. Everything he says might still be true in those cases. So your argument kind of slides around the point, it doesn't counter it.

The author is using a blunt kind of language that may encourage us to disagree. You're right that it could be said better ("date" is a good example). But there's still truth in it.
Issue with the banners is that my answer is always, "no". Yet, I have to do a lot of work to say, "no" on every single website.

This makes it inconvenient to explore the web at large.

The banners should be opt-in not opt-out, but this is against many of the website owner's current interests - including many news sites. So, I've stopped visiting them.

Am I the only one not seeing the argument in the blog post? All I read was "LinkedIn is bad and being on it does more harm than good" without anything to support the premise.

I've been on LinkedIn for years and it did nothing but good for me. I found nothing but quality jobs on it, I stopped visiting job websites as a result, I'm getting approached by companies as a result instead of me applying. I don't understand what the author was doing to find LinkedIn "bad" and "more harm than good". I think this is nonsense.

Yes, per subject per journal but then how many non-profits do you need? How do you organize them? How do you get a coordinated best-effort, etc...

I mean: corporations do not exist in a vacuum, they (usually) DO provide benefits to the society also.

I insist: I am not trying to defend abuses, I am trying to clarify that a for-profit corporation dealing with those many editorial issues is not bad per se.
The T2 chip contains the functionality of a somewhat non-standard NVMe SSD controller, so the x86 CPU running macOS has pretty much the same responsibilities as when dealing with an off the shelf SSD.

Ha, it's amazing how you people always talk in the same way. Literally ordering other people what to do. Yet you object to being called the "language police". It's priceless.
Concrete numbers from the various pullouts:

> They saw ratings hover around 60% with their original, in-house tech — this improved by 7-8% with GPT-2 — and is now in the 80-90% range with the API.

> The F1 score of its crisis classifier went up from .76 to .86, and the accuracy went up to 96%.

> With OpenAI, Algolia was able to answer complex natural language questions accurately 4x as often as it was using BERT.

I think the most informative are the first two, but the most _important_ is the final comparison with BERT (a Google model). I am, uh, a little worried about how fast things will progress if language models go from a fun lil research problem to a killer app for your cloud platform. $10m per training run isn't much in the face of a $100bn gigatech R&D budget.
