The cost of training is decreasing, but the meaningfully large and non-trivial training sets are almost exclusively in the domain of large companies, economically inaccessible to the individual developers/startups.
I think a problem with this is that if you're at all familiar with how someone speaks or writes you can figure out who they are rather easily.

So there's another weird problem (probably not so hard though): translating conversation within the same language in a way that doesn't lose meaning but obscures identifying patterns.

It's a balance between normal delay-input and rollback netcode, not one or the other. You can increase the delay which will reduce teleporting but obviously makes the game more delayed.

Rollback requires your game to be able to rollback to a previous game state. Some games are not developed with this in mind (too much reliance on global state, hard to go backwards in time)

I think Twitter is especially bad in comparison to other sites because it incentivizes people to post their real names, photos of themselves, etc. Even worse for this issue is the ability to retweet, and the trending page of Twitter. Instagram for comparison doesn't have this problem to the same extent because it's about sharing photos and not about following every new trend. This design gives those that live their lives as online reactionaries a 24/7 outrage factory. The trending page is a constant line of pitchforks and threads to bring them to. Regardless of the benefits of the service I think it's hard to deny how the site's design contributes to the problem, at least to some degree.

They have a 'Rescale' option which I used. To activate it I had to turn off my server. I did that. Then rescaled and it went on again.

When I log into my server or run 'git push dokku master' everything seems the same/is up to date. But getting a 404 for the entire app. Server logs seem to be ok (found with dokku logs taaalk -t). So I'm just very confused and very sad.

"Humans love mobs."

I am a human and I don't love mobs. This article is all about incorrect assumptions. If I am not mistaken, the parent comment just made another one.

The part about the media amplifying what is on social media I absolutely agree with. I have always thought there is some strange irony in news outlets writing about something that is, at least in the case of newspapers, killing their own business.

It'd be nice to mention that Rust has if expressions, not if statements.

Therefore the example could be simplified to:

if income < 10 {

} else if income >= 10 && income < 50 {
20
} else {
50
}
}
> Increasing both the hot and cold side temperatures equally would not increase efficiency ...

Hence the C in CSP.

Contemporary molten salt CSPs operate at ~700C, so the difference between the concentrator and ambient air temperature would be 3% (at 25C) and 6% (at 45C).

In other words, a 3% difference. Perhaps measurable at the output, but certainly not significant.

New CSP designs are coming along that are working around 1000C, which would render that delta even more negligible.

In contrast, while PV cells vary, I believe max power temperature coefficients of around 0.4% / 1C is a standard figure.

That means at 25C your panels are losing 10% of max capacity, but at 45C that number goes up to 25%.

A massive reduction in capability.

This is a space I worked on during the crypto boom of 2017/2018.

The opportunity is present for a decentralized network that allows for training of models to be done from training sets at facilities.

Think of all the data sitting in silos from clinical trials. There is of course the painful process of authenticating researchers for access to data like that but it can be done. There just needs to be an economic reason to make that kind of effort.

I got pulled into a direction of using ML to predict costs of care in insurance so didn’t go further down the rabbit hole but I did author a patent for a novel approach to have a decentralized identity exchange data.

Your link is vaguely Freudian storytelling, evoking a sort of secular spirituality more than anything resembling objective science. Here's a sample:

> The wearing of a mask, under conditions in which an individual is aware that their face is no longer their ‘face’, will lead to a transformation away from the usual ‘self’ through a self-attributional process.

Whatever the negative consequences of that self-attributional process, nurses, cleanroom operators, and countless others who routinely wear masks seem to have gotten over it, and to enjoy basically normal social interactions.

You didn't quantify your claims as to the dangers of the virus, but ~0.3% of NYC--of the total population, not those confirmed or estimated infected--is dead from the coronavirus. Treatment has improved (no early ventilator use) since then, but that's a rough lower bound for the IFR. Herd immunity should come much sooner than 1-1/R0 of the population due to heterogeneity, but even a lower bound for IFR times a lower bound for total infected is a lot of dead people.

Finally, the case count is increasing. So regardless of whether the people spreading it are truly asymptomatic, misattributing light symptoms to allergies or similar, or aware that they're seriously sick but going out anyways, they're out there spreading. A mask seems likely enough to help in all three such cases to be clearly cost-effective to me.

Have you tried wearing a mask? What bad experience did you have? Some of the fabric ones are near-impossible to breathe through (especially the handmade ones in that pleated pattern everyone seems to have adopted). Lighter cotton or surgical-style seem fine to me, and are widely used here in California--and have been widely used in East Asia for decades--without obvious negative consequences.
That’s the interesting tech challenge. Keeping things anonymous, even if a db dump leaks, but still allowing moderation and users being able to block specific people. I’m still digging into the solution but believe I have a simple solution. The key is that not everything is anonymous, you know who you’re associated with. You just don’t know the association between a specific user and the content they authored.

One of the main reason the big players dominate the Web (in the marketing space) so much is because SaaS is easier to handle (for most people) than having to deploy and maintain your infra.

I made a generalization which I still think is true, regardless of specific exceptions which will always exist for all generalizations.

Humans love to feel like they belong and they like to feel validated in their opinions. This doesn't always play out in the form of a mob. Even just "ganging up" on a friend in a group conversation is a result of these traits. Mob mentality shows itself in many ways. Perhaps I should've been clearer about mob mentality vs. the classic "mob". What we see happening on social media is I think a result of the majority of humans being susceptible to some form and some degree of mob mentality (groupthink, if you will).
In particular for ecommerce sites it pays to invest in search. A large percentage of transactions is initiated by search queries. You are correct that fuzzy matching will likely get you decent results. However, finding the right product 90% of the time or 98% of the time makes a huge difference if you have a high volume of transactions. Synonyms and a better spelling model can massively improve your results and the resulting conversion.

But search relevancy is only one part of the equation. Think about a physical store and how the milk is usually in the back and a few high margin items are close to the counter or strategically placed. The same can be true for an ecommerce store. If the search engine has the ability to take business metrics like revenue and margins, or customer data like loyalty programs or brand affinity into account, you can much better optimise for your desired business outcome.

We just recently switched one of the largest ecommerce retailers in Australia over from Algolia to Sajari by doing the above and increasing their conversion rate by 10%.

I also saw an interview with an Israeli Dr. who is doing a study (that study is in progress) who said significant numbers suffer from symptoms like fatigue, shortness of breath (I think this may be the same one: https://www.timesofisrael.com/its-frightening-doctors-say-ha... ).

I think the bottom line is we don't know for sure but if needed a little more evidence this isn't just a walk in the park I think we got some.

Real name requirements deter dissidents and vulnerable people, not populist bullies. They even make it worse, because you can be more easily targeted by populist bullies who have your legal name than if everyone is using pseudonyms.

If anything we should make it harder to associate internet users with real people to deter this type of in-person harassment from spilling over from the internet.

> Why have you chosen to express this point in such a trollish way?

I am legitimately confused by this question, since it does not appear trollish to me.

I chose to express it that way to emphasize that (some) abuses of a digital identity system would present as lawful actions by authorized law enforcement personnel, and (apparently too tacitly) that "holocaust-like situations" are not a qualitatively different operating regime that system can assume it is not in during 'normal' operation.

I was a bit worried that it would be percieved as overly confrontational (hence the second paragraph attempting to disclaim that), but I assume that's not what you mean by "trollish".

Apart from the fact that there is still substantial (if less) risk to younger people the real reason for lock down is to reduce the spread.

This does not solve the issue of compute scalability - slow computations, which are fundamentally opaque, applied to large data frames . Given a series of data frames (or one large one that can be chunked) how do I apply a long running function to each chunk. For that you need scalability across cores and machines hence Dask.

That "risk" is the personal risk of dying of those particular students. You're not including the people they'll infect. Go check out Georgia's growth curve. One extra case could easily produce dozens of others in a density like that.

As a 20+ years Pascal/Delphi lover, this read is too much for beginners. I had no problem going through it in one go, but it did felt a lot of energy was spent even by me. Maybe it's better to be split in chapters, giving a potential inquiry mind time to breath.
