I will probably get downvoted a lot, and this is more or less pertinent to this, so here's a rant:
I am quite sick to make software work these days: someone coded something using Python3.6 and numpy1.18.5 then three years pass. Now, it's Python3.8.9 and the software is incompatible with it, so now I have to download Python3.6.5 (not Python 3.6.1) e try to make things work. But then TLS/SSL was discontinued and I'm getting weird messages. Download the source files, ./configure, make, make install multiple times adding different parameters, add new repositories to apt, try to download the right packages, end up installing the latest Python3.8.9, and other things I don't want. And the software still not works.

Oh boy. Something is got to change in making software.

That depends on how the person chose their numbers. So now you need to specify how the person chooses their numbers. Are they choosing their numbers uniformly at random without replacement?

I still don't know that the black "mega" number has to do with this, and I'm still curious as to where the question comes from.

To add a new language you can simply reuse an old model that was trained on lots of languages and fine-tune it for your needs. The same practice exists for huge natural-language models such as BERT and GPT.

According to Wikipedia, influenza causes an estimated 41,400 deaths per year. 2017-2018 was the worst in 40 years and totaled about 61,000 (though the tally has not been finalised and some people have reported it as being as high as 80,000). The number of hospitalisations for the flue in that year was estimated at 800,000 people (clearly that isn't ICU). The number of medical visits was 21 million. I have no data for how many people were confirmed to have the flu, but were not hospitalised.

COVID-19 has killed 114,148 people to date. The number of hospitalisations are only reported up to the end of May 30 and appears to be 82 people per 100,000 people in the populations (thank you CDC for such an epically terrible statistic!) That works out to about 270,000 people. I'm going to use PCR tests as a proxy for "medical visits" for the flu, but in reality they aren't comparible. There are 22 million tests that have been carried out to date. The reason I use that as a proxy is I assume that there is reason to suspect that someone may have COVID-19 if they get a PCR test, just like there is reason to suspect that you have the flu if you have a "medical visit". The last piece of information would be the number of confirmed cases which is 2,045,549. So just under 10% of the cases that were tested were confirmed to have the disease.

Of the people who were hospitalised in the worst flu year in 40 years, about 10% died. Of the people who were hospitalised for COVID-19, about 42% died (well a little higher because I'm using June 10th data for deaths and May 30th for hospitalisations). The number of medical visits for the flu was 21 million in the worst year and the number of PCR tests for COVID-19 so far is 22 million (about the same). It may be a bad assumption,

Just to sum up (and sorry for those on mobile):

Tested/Visits Confirmed Hospitalised Died
21,000,000 *1,900,000 800,000 61,000
22,000,000 2,000,000 270,000 114,000

Where the asterisk means my esitmate which may be completely wrong. Edit: The first line is the flu and the second line is COVID-19

Why do you believe that Amazon comingles inventory? Multiple sellers can sell under the same listing, but that is not the same thing as comingling inventory. Everything I've seen about Amazon fullfillment indicates that the product you are getting is the one provided by the seller you purchased from.
The proof here is not incorrect; it does not make any claims on performance. Usually you’d care that your algorithm is not exponential, but here the claim was that this algorithm provides some approximation that is within a constant factor of the optimal solution in terms of the number of vertices it picks.
It seems there's a fair chance it was a flawed proof, in which case I doubt we'll ever be particularly confident although we could possibly surface some candidates.
> Basically we just bury it and hope for the best, it will be someone else's problem anyway.

It's rather more involved than that. The short version is that we find a place where the rock has remained undisturbed for more than a billion years, and bury them deep enough that they should remain undisturbed for the next billion years.

Then it's no-one's problem.
We must also thank the nuclear industry for Windscale, Three Mile Island and of course Chernobyl. They've also been generous enough to allow us to pay to store their nuclear sewage for thousands of years.
Yes, so easy it doesn't really combine them. Compatibilism gives an explanation that essentially redefines what is meant by "free will". Compatibilism makes compatible a concept of determinism and a specific concept of "free will". Yes, it gives a coherent way of speaking about these two seemingly contradictory things; enabling us to avoid nonsense or self-contradiction. However, the compatibilist notion of "free will" is in fact incompatible with what most people mean (or think they mean) when they say they "have free will".

Thank you for being reasonable. Both the post I replied to and text quoted therein

>> ∗ Physical contact and simulated physical contact (e.g., textual descriptions like "∗hug∗" or "∗backrub∗") without consent or after a request to stop.

> Much like it would be a problem in the real world.

Operate on an nonsensical category of "simulated physical contact" and the assumption that typing hug is somehow similar in nature to hugging someone. Saying hi and saying the word hug fall into the same category. Written speech. When its transgressive we might better term it harassment or sexual harassment depending on the nature of the transgression. I don't support harassment sexual or otherwise. I shouldn't have to disclaim this because I'm making a critical statement about a code of conduct. Everyone who disagrees isn't a bigot.

Logically a code of conduct could successfully say no to harassment or sexual behavior including unwanted serial huge emoters without specifically calling out virtual hugs. In fact including language that simultaneously

- doesn't forbid any additional creepy behavior not already covered by language forbidding sexual harassment AND
- opens the community up to ridicule is a net negative.

I especially find it concerning that one can't point out how ridiculous it is to ban virtual hugs without people trying to lump you in with the creeps

> But I can't understand defending the behavior on the merits.

Where does that come from?

If you consult my statement.

> In the mostly imaginary world of serial virtual huggers it seems reasonable that conduct would fall under say sexual harassment or be fixed by blocking people.

Wherein do you find the defense of harassment?

Your intuition was right in that explanation provided in this proof is incorrect.. https://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/teaching/1415/AdvAlgo/lec8_ann.pdf has a more complete explanation. The algorithm works (and gets a 2x bound), but only because of how it processes the edges sequentially and makes sure to only process edges that aren't already covered.
Have I got some nixpkgs to sell you then :)

Really though, with the nix package manager (https://nixos.org/), if anyone at any point in time had a working nix package for a given program, and as long as all the inputs (source code) are still either online or cached somewhere with the same sha256, it's possible to get the exact same output.

This works with very few exceptions. Some things, like systemd dbus calls, runtime calls to an internet api that might have changed, other runtime impure things, will of course be exceptions. But in general, there aren't other exceptions. It doesn't matter if your computer has python3.9 installed, nix doesn't mind using python3.6.5 for one old package.

So yeah, nix solves exactly the problem you're complaining about. I agree something's broken in other distros, but nix fixes it.

Note, others will say containers solve this, and that's also sorta true. If someone had a docker image laying around with exactly that version of software installed and working, and you can still download said image, you'll get a working setup that way. But actually rebuilding the container (unless it's built with nix) is unlikely to be as nicely reproducible, and it misses some nice properties as a result.

Also, I can see why you might get downvoted since this isn't really that relevant to the post. It's not just free software that suffers from the problem of shipping and packaging software being a space full of unreproducibility and incompatibility

I don't think there's one good answer for everyone that's going to be right.

I think the biggest issue is that far too many people assume that the AWS Savings stories are universally applicable, and that it's safe to assume AWS is going to be the cheap option.

I'm sure there are folks for whom AWS is the cheap option, but it wasn't at my last job, and it's not for my current one (even though they are using it).
I usually stay away from this kind of topics, but this rubs me the wrong way and I have five minutes to burn. Probably because I expected better from him.

The mistake here is the nature of capitalism. In reality, when you see a bunch of companies beginning to turn everything into "a field of strawberries", something is going extremely right. Why? Because capitalism is working based on needs, and it means it found a way to satisfy a very deep (or very wide) need. At the end of the long chain there are people that are more satisfied with their lives than before.

As for being afraid of this? Hogwash. In nature every exponential curve is the beginning of a logistics curve. And the more complex the system, earlier the curve flattens. If you burn a forest it'l taper only when it has nothing left to burn. If you try something similar in a human society, it will find blockers long before that.

And that's why we should be more afraid of AI - there is the chance (small, true) that to an AI our society is as uncomplicated as a dry forest, and the feedback mechanisms that hold us in place just don't apply to it.

> If I can see that their approach is 20% better than SOTA, but they require 1M LoC plus 3 weeks of total computation time on a 100 machine cluster with 8 V100 per node, I can safely say - sod it!

8 V100's cost about $20/h, 100 machines for 2 weeks (allowing for a long training time) will cost $638K. This is the salary of three to five engineers for a year. If your model reduces more than that amount of time it is worth it. It's just a matter of how much use you can get out of it. Of course a model can be reused by different teams and companies, so it could easily be worth the price.

I expect the number I calculated to be exaggerated for this task, though, you don't need that much compute for this model. GPT-3 cost $1.2M per run and it is the largest model in existence.
Here are some tips/hacks/info that might be helpful:

- Use a voice recorder (step a way from the computer an dictate to yourself what you want to say--ideally while walking), then come back to the computer and transcribe what you said. You writing style will be come --- literally --- conversational. A plan/outline might be helpful to bring on your walk-a-talk to help you stay organized.

- Use dictation software like the one built-into mac OS, or the one in google docs. It's pretty good accuracy

- Use a text-to-speech software to read back what you've written, see info how to setup here https://docs.google.com/document/d/1mApa60zJA8rgEm6T6GF0yIem...

What's wrong with having to pay for software? Or learning to accept that some software is proprietary? Or even with learning to use the right tool for the job, even if that "right tool" may sometimes come at a cost?

Students are required to pay for their education at MIT. Were the costs of this course offset with the costs of the non-free software used in an otherwise "standard course"?

People put immense effort into developing software. Is asking for compensation for one's time and effort somehow wrong?

And in many cases, proprietary/commercial software really does outperform the equivalent FOSS/Libre solution. Why are we teaching people to reach out for the suboptimal tools in these situations?
Let’s say the person chooses those numbers randomly and in the same way they are drawn (e.g. no replacement so number 1 can only be chosen once for the white balls).

The black ball is there just to get the exact probability estimate for the Mega Millions lottery.

To answer your question it comes from the Mega Millions lottery which draws 5 white balls and 1 black ball. And I’m curious to know what is probability I get first two numbers right.

Well, it works just as well as MinGW on Windows does. If something isn't working with MinGW on macOS/Linux, it isn't going to work in MinGW on Windows either.

And MinGW on Windows works pretty well, but occasionally you hit some odd problems you might not have had with the Microsoft SDK (e.g. [1]).

They've started a pretty big YouTube ad campaign, I guess taking advantage of recent low ad prices.
It is the fact that we have a relatively agreed-upon canon of great films (with immense re-watch value over the years) that keeps me torrenting instead of streaming. Sure, you could search from one streaming site to another for a given film, but the film may be either completely unavailable, or it may be offered one moment and the mysteriously removed the next. Meanwhile, some torrent communities are run by ardent cinephiles and they have all of these films, and once you have downloaded it, you can go back to it whenever you want.

In terms of language support there are 3 big things

1) Syntax highlighting. They followed the textmate bundle highlighting spec which is somewhat a standard that is shared by many editors.

2) Language Server Protocol - a JSON RPC based protocol that different languages can hook into. The interface is something like. “The users cursor is at this position, what code completion items need to be shown? Where are the errors and warnings?”

3) Debug Protocol - similar JSON RPC protocol, but for debugging. For this breakpoint, show the scopes, the stack trace, console logs etc

Almost everything in Vscode communicates in an async manner. The main UI is on an isolated process, and all extensions are on a different process so they don’t stall the UI.

It’s a modularized and RPC based architecture.
I'd guess it's a typical "We built some amazing tech, but released it 90% finished with some critical bugs, and now the project is paralyzed while we fix those bugs rather than develop it."
I agree with your two possibilities (and there are more). What I'm not clear about is why you object to the use of the phrase for either of those reasons.

1. If someone genuinely believes something absurd to be right and reasonable, why are they above criticism? Ridicule is a very valuable and effective tool in maintaining social cohesion and resisting subversive methods that use absurd arguments that are unworthy of or incapable of being reasoned against.

2. This is far more straight forward. If we genuinely believe someone to be disingenuous in their advocacy of the absurd, should they not be called out on it? What responsibility do we have to earnestly engage with deliberate subversion? Identifying it and raising awareness of bad actors and trolls is a valid defence, potentially saving good people a lot of time, money, and heartache.

I'll conclude by saying that I believe your attempt to dissuade people from using "virtue signalling" to identify these behaviours is, itself, virtue signalling. I'm quite sure it would serve your sociopolitical objectives very well if all these people 'in the way' would stop noticing such behaviours.
I don't think purging every word that you deem 'unwelcoming' is a good idea. It is very authoritarian and reeks of 1984. Understanding historical context is something to be sought. This is an innocuous term, and instead of trying to purge everything you don't like and sweep it under the rug, you should be educating other people.

It's easy for people to pile on to Babylon Health and suggest they are both evil and incompetent in their approach to patient data. And it's easy for BBC journalists with a strong pro-NHS, anti-private-healthcare agenda to spin it into a clickbaity "suffered a data breach" headline which, though technically true, implies something much worse than what actually happened here.

Sounds like somebody accidentally shipped a bug that didn't lock down permissions properly. Not something any of us wants to happen, that's why we have QA procedures, code reviews, and hopefully somebody independently auditing any new code that touches personally-sensitive data to ensure security standards remain watertight. Obviously that part of the process failed this time round and the bug slipped through the net.

Bugs happen. Nobody releases 100% bug-free code 100% of the time. Not even NASA. Some firms, due to the nature of their data and the risks involved, have a greater responsibility to run processes that minimize the likelihood of bugs but also to deal with them quickly when they are spotted in the field.

This was fixed two hours after it was reported. A handful of users had temporary access to other users' data that they shouldn't have had. And then they didn't. There is no evidence of any enormous data dump on the dark web containing yottabytes of personally identifiable patient secrets, though that is no doubt what a journalist wants you to imagine/fear when you read the words "data breach".

Regardless of your political/economic view of Babylon's business model and its potential negative effect on the public healthcare system (which may well be valid criticisms), it sounds like from a purely engineering perspective they should get some credit here for addressing the issue so soon after it became apparent.
Better not supporting it and just use external Assemblers or intrisics, like it does by shipping MASM in the box, a very good Macro Assembler, at least none of them are glueing strings together.

OK, so the question is this:

Suppose I draw 5 numbers uniformly at random from 1 to 70, and suppose I do so twice. What is the probability that the smallest two numbers match, and no others?

So let a1<a2<a3<a4<a5 be the number from one draw, and let b1<b2<b3<b4<b5 be the number from the other draw. What is the probability that a1=b1, a2=b2, and a3, a4, a5, b3, b4, b5 are all different.

Is that your question?

How accurately do you need to know the answer? You can get an approximation quite quickly by simulation ... an exact answer will be horrible.

Edit: OK, I have answers, but it would be useful to know how accurately you need your answer.
