> This means that many papers citation list is not a result of a thorough literature search

Related work sections aren't typically thorough, that's what lit surveys/reviews are for. It's also not a new phenomenon that highly cited work gets cited because it's highly cited, i.e. work is cited simply because it's more readily noticed. It's furthermore common for the same research to arise independently in different fields, with different terminology, i.e. bodies of research are somehow not found. So, no need to be scared, it's nothing new.
I have been increasingly seeing cookie banners that provide more options than just the typical "Ok" or "Accept" buttons, such as a more restrict cookie tracking configuration. Not sure if selecting the more restrict config will have any effect in those sites though, besides just hiding the banner in future visits.

The Framing Effect and Confirmation Bias
The framing effect describes our tendency to react to, judge, or interpret the exact same information in distinctly different ways depending on how it is presented to us, or “framed” (most commonly, whether the information is framed as a loss or as a gain). Building off of the previously discussed concepts of loss aversion and Prospect Theory, people tend to avoid risk when information is presented in a positive frame but seek risk when information is presented in a negative frame.

Not really just nitpicking. I actually was thinking Siemens when I first saw the post. After reading it I did quickly realize it was milliseconds.
The heading tags (<H1> to <H6>) were there (and implemented, unlike the <HPX> "highlighted phrase" tags from tbl's list) from the beginning as well. So were <DL>, <DT> and <DD>, along with <UL> and <LI> for lists that weren't glossary terms. We also had <PLAINTEXT> and <LISTING> precursors to <pre>, <tt> (may it rest in peace) and <code>. (I couldn't tell you what they looked like in a graphical browser as I was using Lynx on DOS boxes as the time - HTML was handy even without HTTP on our parallel-port-and-telephone-wire network.) There were other tags that didn't last very long, too, like the <ADDRESS> tag for the author's meatspace address (makes sense for scientific collaboration, not so much for, say, political discussion boards).
A technical answer might be that they want to implement a policy to grant you free access to one article per week, and than demand payment to access more than that, and a cookie is simple way to do that (yes, easy to circumvent, but that’s pretty uninteresting from a legal sense)

I don’t think GDPR demands “consent” for this though.

This won't work for everyone, but if you are on the AWS stack, then using PostgreSQL on Amazon RDS is a compelling option. There are 6 copies of your data, stored on 3 servers and in 3 separate regions and the replication between the nodes is less than 1s (usually around 50ms). I'd agree that a simple HA solution is the most obvious thing lacking for PostgreSQL, but with RDS it's not something you have to worry about anymore.
US federal civilian pension (FERS) is 1.1% per year after 20 years, so roughly 27-33% of your final 3 years of salary. They also took out the hacks for overtime, bonuses, etc. to prevent the games you sometimes see with state and local pensions.

The caveat to that is as of today you contribute 4.4% of your salary / year into the pension fund, in addition to 401K savings + social security. The Obama administration raised it from 0.8%.
This is also the case for server containers, and I do worry about the day that some critical low level library that is in thousands of containers has a security bug.

Sure, ML is not at human-level intelligence - it is very much a tool-AI where we give a task to the machine and let it get very good at that.

Nonetheless, it seems like progress on that front has been made incredibly quickly. Sure, Siri might not always "understand" what you're asking but the ML is able to very accurately transcribe your voice to text, something not really possible a few decades ago. Image classifiers produce misclassifications, but so do humans - it is a very alien technology to us, so we view some of the machine's misclassifications as absurd, but at the same time the machine might view some of our misclassifications as obviously off-base as well.

None of what you said seems to explain the consistent negativity on HN to what has really been a transformative technology in a lot of ways.
Don't forget aerodynamics. Shuttle suffered from all sorts of buffeting that a smooth cylindrical rocket would not. The complex shape also meant more unpredictable asymmetric vibrations. A liquid-fueled shuttle would still have been a rough ride.

And shuttle took a much more aggressive path. SpaceX rockets aim very high for longer burn times (more up, less sideways on first stage). It is technically a less efficient approach but allows for the recovery trickery.
In your example, you modified the assoc while another thread was accessing it. That is a standard feature of languages with threading support and is not impressive.

Let me give you a clearer example than my first one:

def fn():
d = {'name' : 'hello'}
while True:
print(d['name'])
threading.Thread(target=fn).run()

This causes a thread to be started which prints "hello" indefinitely. Clojure cannot, while the thread is running, change the execution to, say:

def fn():
d = {'name' : 'there'}
while True:
print(d['name'])
time.sleep(0.5)

Clojure cannot change the value of the local variable d because it has no reference to it. Clojure cannot add the line time.sleep(0.5) to the loop because it has no facility for "upgrading" running threads.
Agreed, they'hen I looked into something similar I found that while companies will fight tooth and nail to not sign away rights to a specific idea/effort, the law is very much on the employee's side as long as you don't use corporate equipment to do it.
All "elastically scalable / autoscaling" cloud services (e.g. S3, ELB/ALB, Aurora Serverless, etc.) are ultimately composed of application code running on a finite number of machines thereby capable of serving a finite throughput of load. Excess load must be temporarily shed while additional machines are spun up. You can easily observe this behavior by running load tests on these services.

Separately, all applications don't scale linearly with the volume of open connections. There's typically a sweet spot of open connections that provides maximum throughput. Exceeding this sweet spot will actually reduce aggregate throughput. To the extent that serverless applications are stateless and are unable to pool connections as well as a stateful application, you should expect to see the volume of connections to grow proportional to load, potentially knocking over the backing DB (or in Aurora Stateless's case, returning max connections errors).
Agreed, they're trying to scare folks.

That's the convolution of two problems:

a) Good general-purpose automatic speech recognition, which was an unattainable holy grail for DECADES. Previously, you would have to record a lot of your own voice to train the system for you in particular before it was at all reliable. Now it basically just works.

b) Making good use of the results of (a). Your examples are clearly in this category. This is ALSO a very hard problem; voice interfaces are basically brand new creatures, and I expect we'll be seeing 'best practices' form up for a while yet.

Apparently someone asked the same question - from the FAQ:

> Danger keeps getting referred to as “her/she”, what gives?

> When we were in the naming process of Danger, we went through a lot of names. In the end, it got named after Gem “Danger” McShane, who was involved in both the copy and the concept. While not a programmer herself, she’s helped out with trying to understand the personality behind the project. Danger, the project, is a female, northern UK, command-line app into 80’s punk/indie. Inspired by community efforts like the Haçienda / Factory Records.

> Understandably, applying a gender to a genderless concept comes with it’s own complications. To make it worse, female genders tend to be applied towards “digital assistants” which should raise questions on outdated-but-still-persisting gender stereotypes and patriarchical power structures. There is no answer that can completely absolve the disconnect I’m afraid.

When I am jet lagged my body is confused and does not quite know when 2AM is, but eventually it figures it out and we're back to square one (Google "zeitgeber" for how it figures this out, but subjectively I assure you my body does the adjusting, not me).

This doesn't seem to imply that no learning is going on or that there is some sort of simple process. If I ask you to say whether something is a cat or a dog, you are essentially functioning as a discriminator there - but there is still a lot of process that goes on behind that.
Technically speaking, uBlock origin is not strictly an ad blocker. It is a general purpose content blocker; it will block whatever content is matched by its block lists; and it happens to ship with ad lists enabled by default.

Of course, practically speaking it doesn't just "happen" to block ads; that's a major motivation for its development, and so we usually just refer to it as an ad blocker.

To answer your question directly: if you want ads and no cookie popups, disable the ad lists and enable the cookie popup list.

Yes, at that point you may as well just install the other addon, but the uBlock method preserves a key advantage: the ability to combine multiple cookie popup block lists. This is useful in case several people are making lists that cover different corners of the internet.

Makes sense, at a high level.

Should we cancel copyright before this system is well-established and stable? It seems like there could be arguments for it, if copyright is indeed a great abuse, but if it's not, it seems like it would be systematically better to establish the new system in parallel with copyright, and then we could argue not only that copyright is bad but it's no longer necessary.

Is copyright in fact no longer necessary? How many people support crowdfunding projects with digital rewards or join programs like Patreon specifically for access to copyrighted works (whether that's because they want legal access, or because there's some form of DRM, or whatever) vs. because they are happy to support the creator anyway? That is, to what extent would getting rid of copyright also reduce the profitability of crowdfunding/patronage?

(There's an inverse question - could we get rid of copyright and still have people interested in buying physical books from official sources? That is, could we change the legal mechanism but not the social one? If we think people will pay creators just because they like their work - and it seems that in fact they do - why wouldn't they buy copies of works from creators just because they like their work, even if not compelled to do so via copyright?)

How do new authors (or new creators/artists of any kind, really) get a living wage via crowdfunding? I contribute to the Patreon of a couple of creators I like, but they're all established in some way - i.e. I contribute to support these particular creators not needing to participate in the system of selling licensed works for royalties, but it doesn't seem to be a systematic change.

How much do creators make via crowdfunding/patronage make, anyway - do established writers tend to earn money comparable to the advances and royalties they'd get from a traditional publisher?

One feature of the current system is that if your books are popular with people who don't have much money (students being one of many examples), you still get paid through taxpayer-funded libraries buying copies of your work. How should we preserve that property - should we make it a norm for your local public library to participate in patronage?

Did Internet Archive do anything to advertise the crowdfunding sites of authors whose books they lent? Could they have?

Related to that, is it possible for the Internet Archive to continue operating infrastructure for digital lending for creators who want to be supported for their work by letting authors post e-books and linking to crowdfunding/patronage sites?

> Why would an app maker update their old apps before an announcement was made that they would be deprecated?

Almost immediately after 64-bit support was added in 2005, it was the recommended path, not only for new apps but for existing ones to migrate to. For example, an document called "64-bit Transition Guide for Cocoa" [1] was first published in 2007. A few years later, another document [2] was more explicit:

> Should You Recompile Your Software as a 64-Bit Executable?

> As a general rule, in OS X v10.7 and later, the answer is probably yes.

OS X 10.7 was released in 2011.

Certainly, many – most – app makers did update their old apps. For example, Apple's refusal to support Carbon on 64-bit famously forced Adobe to scramble to update their apps to run on Cocoa, because they considered 64-bit support to be essential. Admittedly, one of the chief benefits of 64-bit was the ability to address more than 4GB of memory, and pro apps needed that more than your average app. But your average app was also easier to recompile, so in practice, pro apps were if anything the slowest to migrate. Even then, most of them did, long before the official deprecation.

By the time the deprecation was announced, let alone by the time Catalina was released, most apps that were still 32-bit were the ones that had ceased to receive updates altogether. From that perspective, the exact timing of the deprecation doesn't matter that much: most unmaintained apps aren't going to become maintained again because of an announcement by Apple. It was going to hurt no matter what.

They expect it for free after it was created. The only possible solution is to charge them money before creating it. Perhaps crowdfunding and patronage will be the answer. If not, I guess we'll just have to live with less creators in general. That is fine.
If you browse the list and feel that it is worth sounding an alarm for being fake, then feel free to do that. I don't think that's what you are doing though, and just sounding a Chicken Little alarm. The list is pretty chilling with video evidence. Really hard to fake this stuff.
