True. It's just that I don't think I've ever experienced Spotify's take on Shuffle anywhere else before, so it's shocking and frustrating, leading to a lot of "next, next, next" skipping.
Samsung Austin, Intel (NM, OR, AZ), GF, Micron and then it depends.in what is added. Cree, arguably.

The better question: who is building a next Fab.
Samsung will expand
Intel could
TSMC will

Someone, somewhere, will restart Sematech as a research facility. I would bet on either Austin or Ann Arbor.

You are right, this is not a discussion worth having when you can do the experience. If you have a digital synthesizer, just try the experiment that I describe and listen whether you can tell the periodic from the non-periodic waveform. You say that they are perfectly distinguishable, but I just did the experiment (even drawing the lissajous figures) and there's no real difference except the perceived pitch.

Looking at all these comments, did no one watch Minority Report? The whole film was about the difficulties and ethics of "precrime" and arresting people before they even committed a crime. Obviously we aren't doing that here, but stories often exaggerate a bit.

I'd also like to add another good series that explores this topic even more than Minority Report: Psycho-Pass. Psycho-Pass is more extreme in that there's stations setup that are constantly monitoring peoples' brain patterns and trying to predict aggression. I think many draw parallels to mass surveillance and some uses of ML for predictive crime detection.

Both these shows tackle ethical challenges related to policing in this manner even when the predictive power is quite high.

> There are tons of other stupid things I did when younger where if there had been more cops around I would have gone to jail.

That's what the person you replied to said. Not that more police would have been more arrests based on (just) their pot smoking, but on other behavior as well. I saw a lot of vandalism that led to kids being dragged by their ears back to their parents in middle-class neighborhoods, that would've resulted in arrests (even for misdemeanors) for kids in poor neighborhoods (where I've also lived and seen this difference).

In white neighborhoods small crimes would lead to police dragging the kid home, in minority neighborhoods they'd end up with a misdemeanor record (at least). All of this creates a bias in the algorithms which generally assume that someone with a criminal record of some sort is going to be a higher risk individual (which is probably a safe assumption for many crimes), but it is biased because people aren't charged with crimes at equal rates due to the biases in the existing system that these algorithms are more likely to exacerbate than alleviate. Now that the minority community has a thicker criminal record, the policing in that neighborhood continues to go up which continues to create increased conflict between the police and residents as the police end up arresting people for increasingly minor offenses, along with the major ones.

A lack of policing or difference in attitude of the police in poor and/or minority communities versus middle-class/wealthy and/or white communities is very much present in the US (and probably the world). This leads algorithms like those under discussion to end up inheriting the same or similar biases, whether the developers and marketers intended it or not.

Not that I have any knowledge of whether anyone is running PCR tests on valid random population samples, but I suspect the concern is that this isn't happening, and that any followup study you could do on these positives will have biases that are hard to correct for?
In a hyper-connected world awash with data, holding such a perspective seems akin believing that the earth is flat.
Unfortunately not everyone has the same sense of duty and the respect for life. Since "these bad apples" don't get punished anyway, and since the system is evidently useless from removing them from ranks, one alternative is to hurt them where it really hurts them, their wallet. I don't know of this will push the half-dirty in police forces to go all the way to the dark side since they will feel that society owes them and they need to make up for the reduction on their disposable income.
Under your argument, why should Wikpedia even exist at all? If it's sufficient that the information is "out there" -- well then it's all already out there.

The relevant expertise-- which sometimes includes privileged information-- is part of what lets you know which public information is valuable, relevant, and worth the effort to bother including.

A user's reason for protecting their privacy may also have absolutely nothing to do with their possession of any privileged knowledge. It's really impossible to predict what the long term consequence of compromised privacy are, and we know that any interaction online can be an invitation to abuse by crazy people.

So, for example, as part of some discussion online I might find myself reading an article on some venereal disease. While reading the article I might notice some omissions or errors and decide to fix them. Later, my edits could end up as part of a debate about the content of the article (even if my edits were utterly unobjectionable) ... with an end result of this potentially embarrassing subject turning up in search results about me, or being discovered by a political opponent in an entirely unrelated debate a decade later, and being pulled out of context just to smear me.

This isn't conjectural. I can speak to it personally: For example, over 13 years ago I got in an edit war on Wikipedia over some site policy thing about users including copyright law violating images on their user pages. I was a bit of a hothead about it and got myself blocked from editing for 24 hours. I was appropriately chastised for being an idiot about how it was handled. All the edits all ultimately went through. But I get regularly slandered by abusive anonymous accounts about it that are mad at me about unrelated Bitcoin debates (and can find literally nothing else negative to say about me). They love to characteristics it in various ways ("fired from wikipedia!"), divorce it from the context, yank out completely inaccurate off the cuff comments from other wikipedians made during the event (apparently some random troll was mistaken for me for a little bit during discussions about the incident).

I would have been much better off contributing anonymously as a result. And for the little personal benefit I got out of contributing, I would have been better off not contributing at all rather than end up with this nonsense.

Is Wikipedia or the world really a better place where only people who either fail to make the above calculation correctly or whom expect some big personal pay-off by contributing are left editing the site? I don't think so.
> This is a premature application of software.

maybe, but you have no idea yourself so your fear does not carry enough weight to carry that statement. It's basically like you are saying "it's too early to try Bayesian policing" when in fact Bayesian policing might be a great idea, and it was a great idea 10 years ago too.

Conditional probability, if there have been a lot of rapes in a 2 block radius, do you think it might be a good idea to look in that radius? If you try that and the crimewave continues but moves 2 blocks away, do you think there might be information to glean from that?

considering individual cops as bees in a hive, can individual bees make good Bayesian decisions about where to fly next? No, the information needs to be consolidated centrally. Who's better at Bayesian calculations, people or computers?

I'm sure there is all sorts of defective software out there, just like there are all sorts of other lazily/cheaply produced products that don't live up to our needs. That doesn't mean it's too early to try improvements.

> helped us break away from preconceived notions based on what is easy and incremental to build on top of the Dropbox stack.

In my experience, this is one of the biggest challenges for developers involved in product design, expressed succinctly there.

And to try to step out of this is why it's so important to have product owners/managers who are NOT technical staff, and who technical staff doesn't unduly influence. When you've invested your time and energy in building a hammer, you really want to figure out how to treat anything as a nail.
I don't think I ever used the hot water functionality of my washing machine, and I can't imagine what you'd want to wash at 90°C, but ok...

When I brought my washing machine, I made sure it had a proper barrel mixer and properly filled with water. That means it's not on the top green category, it's two pegs lower. Yet, it existed, and those weren't the only hidden features I had to compare anyway. When I brought my vacuum cleaner, I made sure it had proper suction. It's also no on the top green category, only near it, but that also didn't make it unavailable.

On the other hand, when I brought my fridge, I made sure it was on the top category, because my interests here were completely aligned with the classification.

Anyway, my point is that informative labels are always great. If you don't want a top performer, just don't get one, the label being there won't harm you.
Big fan of this project. I try and avoid reflection heavy frameworks
I think that's what OP was basically saying though. All of the 'local' jobs (driving in a yard, dropping off trailers at customer warehouses, inspecting cargo, etc) will stick around. The bulk 'driving across the country' jobs might start to go away. So I'm imagining a truck driver, who lives in NJ, will still pick up a container at the Port of Elizabeth, do their inspection, load the container on the truck, and drive it out of the port. They'll get as far as the entrance to the NJ Turnpike, and then set the truck up for autonomous driving all the way to Nebraska on I-80. The truck drives to Nebraska, where it's headed to a warehouse. At the exit from the highway, a new driver will be waiting to hop in. He'll then drive it the rest of the way.

In between, gas stations will have full service again for diesel. There will be some way to automatically charge the truck for fuel.
> Apple says developers can create apps to apply DoH/DoT settings for the entire operating system (via network extension apps or MDM profiles), to individual apps, or to an app's selected network requests.

This sounds like a direct support and expansion of what was already possible system wide via "VPN" apps like the free DNS Cloak app which allows you to choose any resolver (with or without DoH/DoT).

> "There are two ways in which encrypted DNS can be enabled," Tommy Pauly, Internet Technologies Engineer at Apple, said in a talk on Wednesday.

> "The second way to enable encrypted DNS is to opt-in directly from an app. If you want your app to use encrypted DNS, even if the rest of the system isn't yet, you can select a specific server to use for some or all of your app's connections," Pauly added.

> Furthermore, Apple's DoH and DoT implementations will also be context-aware. For example, if a user has a VPN app installed, or is part of a captive (corporate) network, the DoH/DoT server won't override the DNS settings provided by the aforementioned.

Thank goodness for this. While reading this article, for a moment I thought apps could use a different DNS server even if the user had chosen something else system wide via a VPN app (Google's direct usage of 8.8.8.8 in its applications on some platforms, bypassing the system resolver, comes to mind).

Interesting stuff!
> Sure, but there’s someone managing a budget and has to decide to either hire 2 good cops or 1 expensive bad cop.

They already have to do this when the agency is liable and the cops aren't because of QI; which is equivalent to the agency self-insuring and managing risk through personnel policies and decisions.

Making the major crimes involved insurable would negate any benefit from making cops individually liable by eliminating or restricting the scope of QI.
On one stream I watched, the streamer tells a protester they are live streaming. The protester literally says, "I don't know what that is." And actually recordings can't be deleted because viewers are recording the live stream and have their own copies instantly which they upload to twitter or youtube.
Automotive industry wanted a gradual transition from manually driven cars to fully robotic cars. That’s fine, but they didn’t ask for inputs from software engineers about how to do it.

So they worded that that you may have either:

1) no wheels, or

2) wheels that may shear off, or

3) wheels that may shear off but continue to support weight for a while, or

4) wheels that don’t shear off under normal conditions, or

5) wheels that don’t shear off under any circumstances.

Simple enough right?

Aren't we still in the middle of a PPE shortage crisis exactly due to this kind of thinking?
That very specific qualm doesn't mean that increased police presence helps though in the higher crime neighborhood. See my previous response, but basically all things can be true.

It can (and evidence supports that) at ac basic level:

1. There are more crimes committed in one neighborhood than another

2. Increasing police presence in the higher crime neighborhood does not decrease the occurrence of such crimes

3. Increased police presence leads to unjustified disproportionate enforcement of smaller violations being broken equally by both neighborhoods

Your original reply goes much farther than simply claiming less natural crime, and then adds a lot of armchair sociology without backing. When you ask rhetorical questions and follow with "I don't know", you are implying without evidence and it's not a constructive argument that appears in good faith.
So does the Federal government. Hell, my tiny little corner of the Federal government employs thousands of software developers all on its own.
No. You have no clue.

It's because they are mourning their lost years, their failing health, their dead friends, their dead parents, their dead cousins and brothers and sisters. Oh, and their dead wives, girlfriends, and children. And probably more often than anything else, their fear that they will just go straight back to doing it all again when they get out, just like the last time they got out.

It's a false dichotomy.

Point a) Some neighbourhoods have more police in them, because they have more criminal activity. They are almost always poor neighbourhoods. We want there to be more police, the same way we want more doctors in places where the sick people are (hospitals).

Point b) Police officers have mandatory quotas - to fulfill those quotas, they go to places where they're more likely to make arrests, the same way fishermen go fishing where the fish are more likely to be.

Because police work based on quotas, they'll bust people for whatever is easiest to catch while satisfying the quota criteria.

If you want to be informed on this subject in more detail, the best resource I've found is interviews with Dr Michael Wood, he has a youtube channel and has been on Joe Rogan a couple of times.
Given a long enough timeline of increased arrests, police presence and assumption of guilt, why would my neighborhood not eventually have the same number of arrests and crime. Unless your argument is that there is something physically different in the other neighborhood that drives them towards crime. If that's your argument and I am having a hard time seeing what else it could be then I think we are done here.
By "cocky" you basically mean not completely paranoid?

It is a strange word to use in this context.
> so yeah we are talking about things like pot.

Only if you want to talk about the non-violent half to paint a picture that it’s pointless.

For the sake of discussion, assume pot is legal and those drug arrests didn’t happen. Low income areas still have higher rates of violent crime.

Is your argument that drug criminalization is causing other violent crimes?
That's called the Just-World Hypothesis, and I don't know that anybody professes it as a policy framework, though regular people do and I think it could be said to underlie a lot of prejudices and bigotries in people who do affect public policy, but it has to be hidden unless you're Steve King (R-IA). Victim-blaming is very common in the US.

Thanks, but i don't wish for fanboys or a cult around my person.
I agree, but I also suspect that this falls into the gap between what people say they want and what they actually do. Netflix used to have a huge library of classic and foreign films, but no one was watching them. The monotony of spotify’s recommendations is itself probably a sign that when most people get something surprising they hit skip.

Supporting Covid Research: Rapid Reviews on Sysrev
Over the course of two months, a multinational team used Sysrev to assess the clinical characteristics and the risk factors associated with SARS CoV2 in patients with Chronic Kidney Disease.

We built the sysrev.com platform for reviewing documents in teams and launched it last summer. Over the last two months, a team from the UK and China used the platform to collect evidence on COVID19 in patients with chronic kidney disease.

The linked blog post goes into some of the detail about how Dr. Keenan's team used sysrev. I can't wait to see some of the conclusions they draw from the research, all of the evidence for which is available in open access sysrev projects.

If you're interested in analyzing the data they collected see https://sysrev.com/u/249/p/29629. If you like the idea of open access research and want to help analyze other projects please ping me!

It scales better.

Pretty much just that.

You're not. Though WP would generally prefer you not use throwaway accounts (as would HN, for that matter!).

It's unclear how many people it discourages-- a lot of people manage to make edits without realizing their IP will be displayed because they miss the warnings. Users asking the site to delete edits that were accidentally IP-exposing is a not-infrequent support request.

Users suffering unwelcome exposure is largely an external cost (except for those support requests, and the invisible long term discouragement-to-contribution).

I don't think your comment should be downvoted (perhaps something about the book/author itself?). The heroes/villains trope has been heavily overplayed by US culture and before 2016, by politicians of all stripes.

I've heard the police department captains in the area I live describe the scenario as a "war", "wolves and sheep", etc.

That's not to say there aren't really heroic cops or that there aren't really bad criminals, either. But the idea that either of them exist and act independently from their surrounding context, whether that is a corrupt police union or an impoverished struggling community, is very shortsighted.

If anything, that set of tropes needs to be taken down several notches, and the corruption and poverty/inequality need to be addressed directly. We've tried the approach of militarization of police and mass-imprisonment for non-violent offenses. It hasn't worked.
It costs extra though. Also, the Alexa devices can only connect to one account, which would mean one of us would screw up the recs of the other depending on whose account was tied to the Alexa.
Don't even know why I'm going to bother, but most of those drug offenses are trafficking crack/cocaine and meth, a large percentage of them also involve weapons. It's not people who were smoking weed on the porch.
