1915: 100 degrees (from the article)

2020: 100.4 degrees (unverified, as described in the article)

How significant is this newly reported record temperature?

Is it conceivable that the warm day in 1915 reached 100.4 degrees?

Maybe we've changed

- the amount of reporting of records
- the way we measure (thermometer and other equipment changes)
- the frequency of measurement (periodic to continuous)
- the immediate area (urbanization, equipment use)
- the number of measurements (every location gets a chance for a record update)
- the precision of reporting

etc.
Hm, I don't know if I'd draw the cause/effect so directly.

To me, these are two separate problems: 1) NYT doxxes sources, 2) NYT serves advertisers rather than readers. There might be some relation between these two problems but I don't personally have enough information to conclude that.

I didn't make that clear in my previous post, my apologies. No implication was intended.
In theory they could provide a qualified opinion (which basically says: this company is screwed) or withdraw from the audit (which will signal the same thing).
Unit tests are absolutely fantastic during refactoring. I once had to rewrite a piece of code where nobody really knew what it did or what it had to do, and the original author just made some guesses about the intention.

I started out by writing unit tests for everything, which became my handhold and documentation for what the system originally did. Then I started reorganising the code into a more structured and more readable form, without changing the functionality, as proven by my unit tests. Then I started asking domain experts what exactly it should do, unit tests in hand, asking if these answers were correct. If they weren't, I changed the unit test, and then changed the code to match.

Surprisingly painless for something that by all reasonable standards was a terrible mess.
The US is not poorer than Sweden, unlike the other countries mentioned. It's just that the US doesn't want to spend money on that. They like to keep their soaring inequalities.
I don't think I' going to make it honestly, I don't see a future where I am still alive, which sucks because I got obligations.
> Caring about a negative externalities and advocating for them to be internalized is a lot more concrete and actionable

It's less concrete and actionable than you'd think, because measuring (and therefore identifying and internalizing) externalities requires utility assessments, and experienced utility is subjective and immeasurable and it's very, very easy for ones preferred outcome to influence one’s choice of utility estimator. (And even easier for it to lead you to find an excuse to dismiss someone else’s.)

> and not something I think anybody really disagrees with on paper.

I think the general opinion of both the Chicago and Austrian schools is that efforts to internalize externalities are generally a bad idea, and in the Austrian case specifically wrong on principal.

Public figures adhering to those viewpoints are likely to couch them in circumlocution outside of addresses to selected audiences because they are very large groups with which they are dealbreaker positions, but they aren't exactly obscure positions.
this is well-addressed here: https://github.com/simdjson/simdjson/blob/master/doc/perform... .

first off, AVX2 is a subset of SIMD instructions - SIMDjson includes a large number of implementations including several which do not use AVX2 at all.

next, only a subset of AVX2 instructions cause downclocking (namely, the 512 bit wide ones), which SIMDjson does not use. throwing out the use of "SIMD" entirely because you read an article about a specific AVX512 instruction which caused down-clocking might be a bit premature, no?

Author of the article almost certainly did not write the headline. A sub-editor probably did that.

It's entirely reasonable to judge a publication on the basis of a headline not matching the article. It is not at all reasonable to judge the article's author concerning a headline they did not write, had no say in and probably did not even seen prior to publication.
Indeed. I hope the name is somehow related to Matrix, however, so that the connection is a bit more obvious. Perhaps Transform or Neo.
I thought I would love working at home but it turns out the office was my primary source for social interactions and now is not a great time to go out and make new friends for obvious reasons.
Before this, going to work was something I was always looked forward to and I really liked my job.

Now I just kind of roll out of bed, slump over to the computer desk in the corner of my bedroom and sit there all day, wondering why I feel so "meh". I realized I'm missing the in-office collaboration more than I thought but I also started looking at the work with a predominantly more negative outlook, thinking thoughts like, "Isn't this all kind of pointless anyway? We just churn code and go around in circles endlessly." I've also started drinking almost nightly to the point of excess. Also, the world is going to hell in a hand-basket and apparently most of my family and friends from my home-town turned out to be a lot more racists than I ever knew.

On the positive side:

- I still have a good paying job that has allowed me to work remote through out all of this and even gives me an extra $200 per month allowance for WFH costs.

- I bought a treadmill and finally started to excercise.

- When I feel a lack of motivation I often turn on some course or tutorial and I actually started learning a lot of new stuff as a result.

- I started saving a lot more money since I don't eat out and cancelled all my vacation plans.
Follow me around for a day and you'll change your mind. I think there are some people, like myself, who will never be accepted by society.
Ok, I'm not expert on Slovak media, but quick search shows that SME is owned by Penta (Gorilla), HN by Andrej Babis (Berlusconi-like figure), Dennik N is listed on wikipedia as newspaper having liberal slant, Reflex liberal-conservative slant, Markiza is noted as historically being criticized for being against former owner enemies (owner changed, but did journalists?), DVTV as internet tv isn't great example of mainstream medium, also just cursory search revealed that one of their moderators, Emma Smetana, is well known for not being exactly professional.

The fact that you consider those media unbiased doesn't mean they are really unbiased. Plenty of people consider Fox News and Huffington Post as paragons of objectivity.

Matt Levine, who writes the “Money Stuff" column for Bloomberg News, described it like this:

> When a company is going around accusing reporters of conspiring with short sellers to bring it down, that is an almost infallible sign that it is going down. Companies that are not doing fraud, when reporters ask if they have faked their revenue, respond by explaining where their revenue comes from. Companies that are doing fraud, when reporters ask if they have faked their revenue, call the police to try to get reporters arrested.

> The news about Wirecard, now, is sort of trivial; anyone who read McCrum’s reporting and knew the almost-infallible rules of short-selling conspiracy theories already knew that Wirecard was faking its revenue. The bigger implications of the news are for BaFin, which focused on protecting Wirecard from speculators when in fact the speculators needed protection from Wirecard.

The app supports infinite-depth subtasks, but there is no way to link two tasks at the same level

Subtasks are themselves tasks, so their priorities can be set separately from their parents. Collapsible subtasks will be displayed in searches and filters, so if you have a custom filter for high priority tasks, you will also see their lower-priority subtasks

Sharing is done at the list level, and this is handled by your synchronization service

I haven't personally used any command line CalDAV clients so I have nothing to offer there, sorry!
Nice, I especially agree with this part:

> ..find myself more productive if I can use tools that are well suited to how I think and work. so often I like to build my own tools.

To be honest, I'm the same way. Over the years, I've always had a collection of custom libraries for common needs. I often enjoy writing my own library from scratch too, to understand how it works. Routers, databases, template languages, builders.. Sometimes, after developing it to satisfaction, I understand the value of a popular library that does the same thing, better designed or documented than what I built - in that case, I'm fine with transitioning to a better tool.

There's definitely something to be said for well-crafted custom tools that work just how you want, intuitively. And you're right that's how popular projects all start out - so, if everyone used only what's available, we would never make progress. :)

So what I wrote about using "community standard" libraries, maybe it was a kind of advice to myself..

> I was really about to kind of give up on this whole project when something's not working, I almost chucked it all the way but that sort of "last straw bug" never happened and I just pushed through.

Right, I see, this is a kind of record of your journey to solve all the functionality you wanted in such a template project.

> mark the moment..that I have achieved this

Yes, congratulations on releasing it - that is an achievement worthy of itself. I think many of us can relate to being "scared to look foolish", and we should all feel encouraged to make things public, whether we're experts or beginners.

I also agree that, we never know if something can be valuable to other people. Since your code is now open source, anyone can learn from your experience, and use it as a starting ground for their own applications.
I feel uneasy when I see someone creating a account just to leave this type of comment. it also happens on YouTube. are you an ex co-worker?
To show off their frontend stuff, they left all of the JS available on https://app.hey.com without logging in. I think they plan on open-sourcing their improvements into new updates to Rails and turbolinks, eventually. If you've used Basecamp before it's fairly similar in speed, as far as I can tell (turbolinks + stimulus is responsible for that).
Not great, but others are having it much worse.

For me it's the fact that all our normal stress relief outlets are shut that is the big issue. The children can't go to scouts, my daughter can't do her ballet classes and my son can't see his friends. My wife leads a few choirs which were very social, but now she has to run rehearsals over Zoom which is a pain. I'd love to go fishing or camping, but I can't. I am a radio ham, but having just one hobby available to you can get a bit dull after a while.

The biggest issue for us is our work schedules. For a few months before it all went a bit weird I had been gradually setting up my own business. A mixed bag of IT consultancy jobs and app development. I was happy with it and I had to the time to put in to it when the kids were at school. The lockdown messed all that up as my wife is a speech therapist and now has to do teletherapy from home. Unfortunately that is something she has to do during the day - thus I have to look after the children during the day. That includes homeschooling, cooking cleaning etc.

My wife has to put in a full 9 to 5 shift. It's not just a few Zoom meetings, but also note and report writing. So after she finishes work, we have dinner, a bit of family time and then if I'm lucky I might have an hour or two to work on my own things - I'm not a great evening coder.

When it all kicked off I had some plans to learn and achieve new things that I thought the lockdown would give me time to do. Stuff like learn welding, do some redecorating and learning Unity. In reality this has been the busiest period I've had since having children. Plus I've put on a fair bit of weight so that is one more thing to deal with.

That being said, we still have a good income. My wife's work is secure, in fact she is earning more with the teletherapy model. But, her employer has given up the lease on their office as they can't see a return to face-to-face working for quite some time. I have a few passive income streams. We have good family whom we can keep in tough with via Zoom etc. Putting it all into perspective we are Okay compared to some others who must really be struggling.

Edit: Plus our children's sleep schedules have gone completely bonkers.
I don't even think he said "model's don't cause bias," he just said "ML systems are biased when data is biased."
You get 401k match and health insurance at any good employer in the US too. As well as much lower taxes. German taxes are just batshit crazy, second only to Belgium. How people can afford to FI/RE with these taxes and pay is beyond me. Oh wait they don't! One of the lowest median wealth per adult in western Europe!
Depending on what, exactly, you want to hack on, building components on top of seL4 could be a way to go. There's a large collection of libraries built on top of it, that you can replace as you feel like - https://docs.sel4.systems/projects/available-user-components... - and there's a few different options for communication between them (seL4's IPC, shared memory, etc).

You could easily get a stripped-down interpreter or something running in that environment.
Poorly. I have too much damn time to think and not enough things to do to distract me from my thoughrs..
Romania barely has 100k devs in total, I doubt they move the needle that much.
Germany is smaller than Montana. The sheer size of the US means that people live in wildly different environments and climates, and operate very different local governments/civic infrastructure state by state. Like the parent says, if you make a generic statement it's very likely that there is a place where that applies, but it certainly cannot cover the entire continent.

Yes, it is :)

The normal development flow for FPGA software is similar to ASIC in that people focus on testing as many elements as possible in software simulation to a very high level of coverage before even downloading to the FPGA. Once in there, you're reliant on JTAG (high-speed serial bus) to read out values from the target device.

Tools like ChipScope can let you see what's going on and set ""breakpoints"". http://web.mit.edu/6.111/www/labkit/chipscope.shtml

All of this is much harder when it's on a board you didn't design!
How much time do you spend "making it pretty" after you've got it functionally working? Interested to hear your experiences on that.

For a long time we would "pretty it up at the end", in one of my coworkers words, which lead to a ton of horrible UX decisions early on that required major legwork later. We switched to doing ux-driven development from the start and it's saved us a ton of time and saved ourselves from poor decisions haha.
I disagree and I think you're incorrect.

For a long time, I and other people I know chose MBP for professional web-development / video editing / music production because they were provided with a slick GUI on top of a solid operating system.

It's fairly apparent to most people who read tech news, that the quality of the operating system isn't what it was. For instance, think back to the 'no password necessary for root user' debacle a few years ago.

I don't think it's beyond the realms of credulity to consider why this type of problem was allowed to occur in Apple's 'professional' line.

If you're still with me, perhaps you'd also be able to follow my line of reasoning when I surmise that the reason for this degradation of support, may have been because they were planning on dropping their support for OS X .. with this convergence event being its replacement.

In reality, it's your own sassy comment that's devoid of content. Hope you really did wait! :)
As you pointed out in your footnote, science is a bad topic for journalism, intrinsically. Something like Scientific American is about as good as it gets for lay audiences - solicited longform articles from the relevant experts, meant for a general audience.

I'm a compsci undergrad with no social life.
My daily social exchanges were limited to my colleages at university and room mates, and for the past five months I've been sitting alone at my desk procrastinating, scrolling down reddit and HN numbed of my senses. I've since discovered that these people don't really care about me, as no one bothers to even send me the occasional message or call.

I've been dodging bullets at college, yet still receiving praises and oportunities from my professors and actually every real and functioning adult (unlike me) regarding my "skills" on programming and music. Opportunities which, interestingly enough, actually make me feel worthless because I always feel like a fraud and that I'm not good enough for anything.

I have no job, no income, no dreams or aspirations and being trapped here, unable to do anything to distract myself (talk to colleages, Grindr hookups), has me constantly thinking of how empty and devoid of personality and life I am.

My mother is every day more verbal about wanting me out of the house (despite me paying the bills using the government grant intended to pay for college), and in the midst of it all I've been trying to fix my relationship with my father to find he only wants me as a tool for legal benefits (due to my parents' divorce).

I keep myself fantasizing about suicide, but it's okay because at least I'm confident enough I'm not (that) stupid. Also, my "problems" are just part of a temporary state of mind and don't even compare to real problems many people are going through everywhere.

Thanks for asking, op. Writing all these things down actually clears up my mind a bit.

Your question (perhaps unintentionally) cuts to the heart of the matter.

Any discussion income or wealth inequality in the US is inherently partisan, as one side largely insists the topic is irrelevant/is overstated/etc. and therefore is not worthy of discussion.

Similarly, mentioning climate change or counting firearm deaths are also partisan topics in the US.

So to answer your question -- yes, this article is partisan because it attempts to examine a topic that we have decided is inherently partisan.
Superhuman’s email app is overhyped and overpriced
Really strange. In some aspects it's been great, in others terrible.

On the plus side, not having to commute, cooking more at home and generally having more time (because a lot of things we used to do we can't any more) has been great. Also fortunately I am employed and my company is doing well.

On the other hand, monotony has really set in, where each day feels the same. Despite cooking more I'm less healthy now than before, because I sit in the same chair most of the day and have been exercising a lot less than before (used to play group sports). I really miss traveling and exploring new places. And lastly haven't really interacted socially with anyone besides my girlfriend since this thing started. I've also been spending a lot more time than I should on news and social media, I guess as a way to feel connected to the world.

All in all it's been an interesting ride but I want off now.
I'm in the field - though not as prominent as Yann (who has been very nice and helpful in my few interactions with him) - and your interpretation is off. People are disagreeing with his stance that researchers should not bother exploring bias implications of their research. (He says this is because bias is a problem of data - and therefore we should focus on building cool models and let production engineers worry about training production models on unbiased data.)

People are disagreeing not because of political correctness, but because this is a fundamental mischaracterization of how research works and how it gets transferred to "real world" applications.

(1) Data fuels modern machine learning. It shapes research directions in a really fundamental way. People decide what to work on based on what huge amounts of data they can get their hands on. Saying "engineers should be the ones to worry about bias because it's a data problem" is like saying "I'm a physicist, here's a cool model, I'll let the engineers worry about whether it works on any known particle in any known world."

(2) Most machine learning research is empirical (though not all). It's very rare to see a paper (if not impossible nowadays, since large deep neural networks are so massive and opaque) that works purely off math without showing that its conclusions improve some task on some dataset. No one is doing research without data, and saying "my method is good because it works on this data" means you are making choices and statements about what it means to "work" - which, as we've seen, involves quite a lot of bias.

(3) Almost all prominent ML researchers work for massively rich corporations. He and his colleagues don't work in ivory towers where they develop pure algorithms which are then released over the ivy walls into the wild, to be contaminated by filthy reality. He works for Facebook. He's paid with Facebook money. So why draw this imaginary line between research and production? He is paid to do research that will go into production.

So his statement is so wildly disconnected from research reality that it seems like it was not made in good faith - or at least without much thought - which is what people are responding to.

Also, language tip - a "woman researcher" is a "researcher".
I think you give too much credit to the level of technical knowledge of the average person.
