This video popped in my recommendations just a couple of days ago. A welcome surprise. It made me think about how music changed since the medieval ages, not in terms of technology, but in terms of composition, rules and etc. And I haven't yet come to any definitive understanding. Maybe because I don't know the first thing about music theory.
The pretraining approach was used in vision for years before it was successful in NLP.
Yes, sorry. I was from mobile ;)
Isn't that the argument that providers make for wanting to meter usage? I.e. video streamers, torrenters and netflix and the like are 'abusing' the network by using a disproportionate amount of their capacity / bandwidth?

I guess my point is that "abuse" in this sense is pretty subjective.

He could have even said that that constant was almost certainly transcendental.
It always surprises me that almost all real are transcendental, but that there are only 2 transcendental real numbers I am familiar with: pi and e.
Brazil doesn't have effectively universally safe to drink tap water like the US and most western countries have.
I prefer dark mode simply because the dirt/dust/fingerprints on my glasses show more while looking at bright screens. Looking at dark screens I don't notice my glasses being dirty at all. I find it inconvenient to wash my glasses more than once a day, and because of the terribly uncommon shape of my eyes, I can't afford contacts even with my vision "insurance".

Wedding Video Company Allegedly Refused Refund and Mocked Man Whose Fiancée Died
I've become quite a fan of Shobu lately. It has very simple game mechanics, even simpler than chess, yet still involves a lot of strategy and tactical thinking.
If the acquisition in 1999 made sense (it certainly did), the question might be whether the act of spinning off the company makes sense in 2020.

I don’t have an answer, but I suspect that spinning off the company is just a worse choice than keeping it or shutting it down. Maybe the same concept applies to IMDB.

Perhaps it’s the same reason why Netflix hasn’t spun off DVD Netflix. It’s profitable, but it isn’t attractive to sell to someone else.

I am just speculating.

After reading this article from Nielsen about the size of usability studies [1] their research credibility has gone down for me. According to the article, no matter the size of a user base:

"... the answer is simple: test 5 users in a usability study. Testing with 5 people lets you find almost as many usability problems as you'd find using many more test participants."

Oh wait, but my site has millions of users!

"Doesn't matter for the sample size, even if you were doing statistics."

Even if you were doing statistics? What does it even mean lol... it just sounds to me they want to justify whatever "studies" they've have in their library. I'd say, unless a Nielsen study is replicated and double checked, probably (pun intended :-p) their studies shouldn't be taken very seriously.

I've been trying to reproduce this since I saw this post without any luck. The only data I see going out is generic usage data (when you have the "anonymous usage data" enabled) - however I'm not logged into Postman.

I suspect it only sends data to them server if you are logged in so you can use the functionality such as "sync between devices", which kind of makes sense.

It’s not about race—it’s about a shitty corporate culture. Within Intel there are full-time employees (blue badges) and contractors (green badges). Intel has shifted towards hiring more green badges while paying them less, offering them fewer benefits, and in general treating them worse in comparison to the full-time blue badges. And yes, many green badges are working for Intel under H1B visas. Because of the poor working conditions, there isn’t a great incentive for green badges to be doing their best work. Meanwhile, blue badges become proportionally fewer in number within the company.

The idea is that your server handler mimics those steps and contains all the IO you need (aka external depdendencies). The receiving and sending of the http requests + any other I/O you need should be immediately visible in the top level method (in a simple model). Everything below is functional and pure. Take a request, use pure functions to transform and reshape the data, pass that back up the call-stack to the top level method. Do some I/O operation against the database, go into functional land to shape it a bit, bring it back up, combine with other data in a pure way and then finally send the response.

I can control laptop brightness with `/sys/class/backlight/foo`, and my asus external monitor advertises capabilities over hdmi with `modprobe i2c-dev` and then `ddcutil capabilities`. Apparently this is governed by something called MCCS. You can find more info on the arch wiki.
Yeah I'm going to need to some evidence of this one.

I don't use Postman, but it's the default name in this space, and if they were actually keeping and collecting all requests passed through it that would kill it as a product instantly.
Anyone has any stats on the adoption of security scanning in general for devops projects? and fuzzing in particular?

No one thought of speculative execution and hypertheading as performance hacks until the last few years. They were brilliant techniques. They still are, they just were found to have a cost. They are still used now but more carefully.

Intel Management Engine and SGX on the other hand, are basically user-hostile parts of the hardware, with some bugs mixed in.
Malayali (Kerala, India) culture has the common developing world fatness = prosperity mentality to some degree (minus the Indian love toward asceticism), but we have the added factor of having the defining movie star of my parents generation (And pretty big star still) being a rather pudgy guy (Mohanlal!) and that does shape people’s views on things.

It’s a funny interplay with stars that they shape their appearance to fit societal expectations but at the same time shape them.
I'll test it as well:

- stupid dark mode: makes me cranky, gives me a headache
- light mode: relaxed reading, makes me feel comfortable.
- different results ever? No.

the above is from the undisputed, worldwide export on what I feel.
> Any company trying to build a US social network or social engine through acquiring Facebook or Google would need US advertisers. Otherwise what is the point of having these users.

The point would be collecting data on them and spreading propaganda.

Not every country operates using quarterly profits as their one and true God.
Bit of everything, depending on the resolution, frequency, and region. If there's a decent frequency (~once per week) and perhaps meter resolution, you can do new site detection. The specifics you look for vary, but I can go into more detail if you'd like. If there's an oblique view rather than top down (preserving height information) and color accuracy, it could pretty directly compete with satellite in some of those use cases. There are also a lot of people at heritage agencies that have to monitor rather large areas for looters and other damage over time.

On the anthropology side, it might also be useful for looking at statistical information about populations/settlements that's difficult to collect other ways due to either the remoteness of the area and the frequency of other data sources. Things like nomadic migration patterns or land use in areas like Siberia / Mongolia, Myanmar, or northern Canada.
Nice one. ;)
Well, sure, when you manipulate the forex market, you can act to alter the value of your own currency.
This was the old model of the United States when we had a frontier. The frontier, land owned by the natives, was deemed available for the violent taking by the settler-colonials. Whenever sufficient ferment began to develop in the US proper, they would push for a new wave of expansionism which would act as a pressure release valve.

I don't understand unincorporated land, but clearly someone "owns" it or the government wants it for some reason and the former era of free expansion and manifest destiny is over. Now we must reckon with the damage and reparations owed to Native Americans.
A great deal of people prefer dark mode. The number of people with this strong preference seems like it should be enough. I don't trust the studies cited here one bit: I remember when everyone was citing studies that said sans serif fonts were hard to read. Yeah, people find it hard to read when you change how they're used to reading. As if using a modern website consists of attentively reading large volumes of text serially. Even if it were true, who cares? People like it, let them enjoy it.
I took a quick peek, it's no different than writing your own resolvers in any other implementation.
That may be the other thing. Apps have gotten a lot bigger on average. How many shortcuts are really consistent across applications? A dozen? That might have been half of the shortcuts 20 years ago. Now that’s a quarter and nobody bothered creating bindings for half of the menu entries.

Hell, Outlook gets it wrong and MS used to harp on this loudly. I can’t count how many new folders I’ve created while trying to start an email.

Is there any practical application or real world implication of this? I’m having trouble understanding why this is interesting. I don’t have much formal math background, so tying this to something non-abstract would be helpful to appreciate it.
One of the most perplexing things on LinkedIn is the terrible response rate to messages. No, I don’t mean spamming your connections. That’s not what I’m talking about.

In my experience, if you send a connection request to someone, they accept and you message them, you might receive a response in 5% of engagements.

My best guess is that people are accepting connections as a pavlovian response.
> no difference between black and anything else.

Just a detail that isn't quite right in the article: black is actually the highest power state for LCDs. The backlight draws the same power all the time (for a given brightness setting) but the pixels draw more power when they are black.
>I honestly don't understand why JSTOR, Elsevier and others like them still need to exist.

I'm going to guess they exist because, despite decrying these companies, scientists still want to snag that spot in Nature for the same reason that writing a front-page New York Times article is considered a bigger deal than publishing the same story on your blog, even if the content is identical.

Will Data Engineer Take over Machine Learning Work in Future, Surpassing Data
There are a couple constructions like this in mathematics that... really make you think. Like Banach Tarski doesn’t make any sense.

Or the one that still bothers me, ten years after I learned it. Is take an enumeration of the rationals and take the union of balls of with radius epsilon/2^n over this enumeration. And you can create dense open subsets of the real numbers, that miss basically every real number. Despite containing an open interval around every rational. The conclusion I’ve come to is the real numbers don’t make any sense.
The most important part is preference IMO. People have the right to choose which is right for them, and if they determine that dark mode is better for them (even if they just think it looks better), having a setting in the OS that cascades down to all applications and websites is just a nice feature to have.

This is why prefers-color-scheme is the perfect mechanism for this. Simply swap out your CSS variables and automatically your site is immediately more accessible to people who prefer dark mode.
I understand that reaching billions of people seems scarier, but how does it really differ from being able to convince the entire Roman Senate with one skilled oration? Convincing either group could lead to horrendous acts being committed.

The main difference is that there are more people, they can interact more, and their opinions matter slightly more than in the past. Those things also allow us to understand the deeper motives and purposes far better than ever before, even if we still foolishly ignore them.
This filtering is a custom DSL that really has nothing to do with GraphQL.

You might get away with it in a GraphQL implementation because you can possibly slap it in top a centralized endpoint, but I really question its efficiency in this case.
I have an external keyboard that's a common split-ergo design, probably one of the top 3 workhorses on amazon for "ergo keyboard" (Apple hardware is pretty, but it's not ergonomic).

By dumb luck I just found that it's ScrLk and Pause/Break that do brightness controls on my external monitor on os-x.

I wish apple made it as easy to remap these kinds of global shortcut keys as IDE's do.
I don't know about the online course, but in general the University of London is highly regarded. Some of the best universities in the world (LSE, UCL) are part of the University of London system, and all the members are very good universities.

I don't imagine US employers would have an issue with degrees from there. You can find it easily and it looks reputable.
I'm not a hardware engineer/cpu designer/electrical engineer, but my understanding is that designing high end cpus requires engineering and designing towards the specific manufacturing process of the fabs you're using. Even if intel did decide to, I don't think they could just send their designs to tsmc/global foundries or what have you.
If you see the floaters then your screen is way to bright. I see my floaters only when looking at the sky during the day and I have lots of them. I think this is because the pupil contracts and the depth of field grows and the floaters project onto the retina

I sure wish we could do that (South Africa), instead our currency is at the whims of international finance and investors, which makes it highly unstable.

We could also use exchange controls to arrest our capital flight which is just draining us.
You are right and wrong at the same time. Go2 isn't a planned release, but stands for a possibly incompatible future revision of Go. A place, where new features can be experimented with. But any feature planned for "Go2", which turns out to not be incompatible with the Go1 compatibility promises, might just be merged into the Go mainline at a new dot release. So it is not clear, that or if when, a "Go2" release is going to happen. On the other side, new features are constantly added to the language from the "Go2" development, so in a sense part of it is already there.

He did two separate stints at AMD, and if the rumors of Apple switching the Mac to the A-series are true (which they probably are) then there will be some very interesting problems to solve over the next few years.
Are they working with Apple? I thought Apple is suing them?
Which field(s) of engineering do you talk about? What are the highest level(s) of promotion the persons who don't write well reach and continue to work in?

I would think that writing well is at least a requirement for promotion into a technical leadership role (above senior individual contributors).

By writing well, I don't mean in the style of journalists or novelists. Rather, writing clearly and concisely to effectively convey one's points and reasoning should be very valuable in engineering.

>What do our findings say about democracy in America? They certainly constitute troubling news for advocates of “populistic” democracy, who want governments to respond primarily or exclusively to the policy preferences of their citizens. In the United States, our findings indicate, the majority does not rule—at least not in the causal sense of actually determining policy outcomes.When a majority of citizens disagrees with economic elites or with organized interests, they generally lose. Moreover,because of the strong status quo bias built into the U.S. political system, even when fairly large majorities of Americans favor policy change, they generally do not get it.
Thank you. Everything else around this dicussion is pointless. If some people like light or dark mode thats up to them to choose. At least we're getting some choice back in our UIs.

Transactions in PostgreSQL and Their Mechanism
Bloomberg has the following commentary:

“Keller’s departure is a big deal and suggests that whatever he was implementing at Intel was not working or the old Intel guard did not want to implement it,” Hans Mosesmann, an analyst at Rosenblatt Securities, wrote in a note to investors. “The net of this situation for us is that Intel’s processor and process node roadmaps are going to be more in flux or broken than even we had expected.”
Does anyone use LCD drawing tablets for taking notes? I don't like using paper that much, and for anything important I prefer to have it digitized so that information can be sorted, copied, and recalled. I wonder how important it is to be able to come back to those notes, or if simply writing them down and never coming back to them would be enough.

In that case, a "dumb" LCD writing pad such as the Boogie Board would be enough. I'm not sure if I want to hassle with a more expensive and complex system such as a drawing tablet, which would be an alternative.

I wonder if Twitter also does the same for Western governments ops or only for “bad guys” like Russia, China and Turkey.

In France, during the “Yellow Vests” movement, there's has been a lot of progovernment activity on Twitter from accounts which were obvious fake ones: with a photo stock profile picture and a username made of “(often vintage) French first name+ 5 or 6 random figures”.

I suspect this is frequent among western countries too but I don't have evidence except for my country, if you have such stories for your country, please share.
IIRC:

Dimly lit room + brightly lit cube means that whenever your vision tracks outside of the cube it will have to adjust the opening of the iris. Doing this a lot will tire your eyes out. My interpretation of this is that we should try to have about the same light level across our work spaces and that this should be a mean between long term comfort and readability. I think most of us could probably benefit from larger font sizes as well which feel easier to read in lower light to me.
There’s a very limited set of scenarios where local file read isn’t accompanied by enough write/exec privilege to inject a keylogger. Sir, there might be some cases where the control would prevent abuse but they’re limited. IMO time/money should be invested in other security over anything more unless you’re literally nearing an absolutely secure environment. In most cases I’ve seen there’s gaping holes while crazy amounts of time and money are spent securing something that doesn’t actually improve overall security much or at all.
I am not arguing that one has to be technical in order to benefit from those freedoms. I like FLOSS and agree users in general benefit.

I am saying that your example, for instance, stills falls under the "how does a non-technical user simply verify the software they just downloaded respects their freedoms?" which is an very real educational and cultural problem. For example, see the massive money and numerous gun ranges, gun stores, gun clubs, and other gun-associated organizations in the US that work to educate the "unskilled" general public on "how to be aware, recognize, and exercise their rights and freedoms" under the 2nd Amendment while respecting local laws. Folks generally are 1) aware they have the right and 2) have a low-friction no-special-technical-skilled path to exercising that right. The FLOSS movement is nowhere near that level of educating and making aware non-technical users of their freedoms, their digital rights, and how to then act upon them and exercise them. Folks generally are 1) unaware of libre software and 2) don't have a low-friction no-special-technical-skilled path to exercising that right.
Thanks, interesting concept that has some valid applications :)
