"Models are not just descriptions of data, which is why overfitting is not considered success." The degree to which a model is overfit is a measure of how accurate the model is, but that doesn't make it any more or less than a description of the data.

I get what everyone's goal is here, it would be shitty to build and rely on a bunch of racist models. But the nonsense in this article is dangerous--again models are descriptions of what is and this weird glorification of them as some sort of source of normative judgement is bizarre. Models have to be used carefully with understanding of the limitations of their structure and the data that went into them. That doesn't make any particular modeling technique racist.

Thanks, yes you describe my concept quite well. Admittedly i'm not very familiar with OLW so made some assumptions. So perhaps it could be said that if i developed my idea, there's more 'value' in it than OLW in that sense.
Google open-sources Tsunami vulnerability scanner
The IBKR API would likely list them, and I assume that's how people get the most value from using it as their broker.
Like I say, there is plenty of time to work on one's code, even taking into account future papers.
I think it's less snark for me. There is a somewhat realistic concern that we're buying our own surveilance state one piece at a time.

These corporations are very powerful, and we're inviting their surveilance tools into our homes without IMO a great guarantee of what's done with our data. They also tend to have a pretty cushy relationship with governments. And even where they don't, governments are able and usually willing to compromise these devices for their own purposes. That exists on a specrum from law enforcement asking for data, to the NSA and similar using security vulernabilities they buy or develop.

This device in particular is probably not a big deal for the above, but it's one more for the pile.
Who decides that I am too stupid to invest?

I should be the only person to decide that, already there are strict regulations about day trading, volume of trades on a mobile platform, access to margins and access to after hours trading.

Robinhood adheres to all these regulations and doesn't easily dole out features to anyone.
To offer a different perspective: I used to hate exercising. I'm the type of person who paid a gym just because I loved the idea of being in shape, but had no interest in putting in the effort.

With the obvious realization that I wasn't getting younger, I decided to get a Peloton last year, and immediately got hooked. I started riding 3-4 times/week, but since the lockdown started I created the habit of riding every single day; I'm now on my 16-week streak. But the surprising part is that I'm actually enjoying it.

So I'm the opposite spectrum - I'm long on these companies, and strong believe they'll continue to do well post-Covid. The model is brilliant: fixed cost, variable income, and control of the entire ecosystem -- hw + sw + content + ownership of the customer experience. Unless they screw up on execution, they have a very profitable path ahead.

Just sad that Mirror was acquired by Lululemon, instead of Peloton; it would be a killer combination in terms of content + hardware. But it wouldn't surprise me if they come up with something similar in the future.
AFAIK Ubuntu does not force reboot like Windows 10.
Can someone explain the need for Linux Mint? It's derived from Ubuntu which is derived from Debian which just sounds ridiculous.

Is Ubuntu considered difficult to install? Does it not support older hardware as well as Mint? Wouldn't Ubuntu be more supported if they just ended Mint and jumped aboard?
This is a bad analogy. Lower-limit poker tables attract lower-skilled players for the reason you give, which means you're playing against lower-skilled opponents[1]. In the stock market, you're always playing against the world's top professionals and their computers. As in any game with a random element, unskilled players still sometimes win, but on average they lose.

Investing isn't gambling, and Robinhood's conflation of the two is exactly the reason to criticize them. It's very likely that a share of SPY will be worth more in real terms thirty years from now than it is today, and that makes it a useful vehicle to save for retirement. What it does in the next day, month, year, or even decade is much harder to predict. By encouraging naive users to trade frequently, Robinhood is encouraging users to expose themselves to that short-term volatility, with no benefit except fulfillment of an urge to gamble.

1. Unless you're playing online against some guy with a bunch of fake identities and a bot. Is that still a thing?
> She is asking for a fair chance.

Where is the evidence that she didn't get one? A fair chance is not a guarantee of funding.
Elite gyms specifically like Equinox charge $300/month. Yes they are nicer gyms with more/better amenities such as a spa (massage), juice bar, etc. IMO it's mostly a status thing.
If I could also go back a few years, I would probably change my focus from Comp Sci to either Biology or Chemistry. I have always coded since a young age, so it’s likely that I would continue to still be doing it as a hobby.

I just feel that most of the high paying jobs don’t have as much of a helpful, important impact on the world, whereas those hard science fields have more opportunity to impact humanity in a positive manner, even if not as well paid.
Acquihire usually indicates the company failed to make a sustainable business and you are just buying the talent. I can say that is not the case here. Rancher's business was/is phenomenal on all counts. But regardless I look forward to working with you in the future.

There is one thing I don't understand for these epic journeys, whether it's trans Pacific/Atlantic, the Bering straight etc, what was the motivation to risk your life? Unless there was some kind of local conflict why would you risk the move given there was relatively unlimited resources at source destinations at the time comparef to population. What makes the first person decide I'm going to sail past the horizon and everything we know and risk my life, it boggles my mind.
My skillset is native iOS apps so it'd be going against my strengths to make a PWA. Plus i'm skeptical of their usability. Having said all that: I mulled it over overnight, and i could use an extra private S3 bucket as the 'backend' for my app, therefore having both desktop and mobile versions with the same 'drafts' prior to publishing. That could really work I think, however it's more work than i was thinking of doing.
Where can I find an up to date guide on how to package software for Debian and what to do to get it included in the repository?

I’ve often came across orphaned packages where Debian was stuck with an old version, but didn’t know what to do about it other than installing from source. Or using a PPA if I was lucky.
PUBG was itself a commercialized version of (arguably better) Arma 3 mods with a bunch of royalty free assets + microtransactions. It still was printing money and top of the Steam charts for many months- I think it ended up being a great outcome
I totally agree with this. I'm relatively new to SQL but have recently had to start messing around with it. In all other CS domains I know exactly what will happen under the hood for any given action, but for SQL I have zero clue.

I would love it if I could just write queries and it would automatically add an index or do something else for performance if needed, and possibly report back to me if a query I wrote has particularly bad performance.
I'm pretty sure the ID that Discord and Blizzard use as the "true" source of identity (as in, the key they store in the database to keep track of who's on your buddy list) is different from the "#1234" number used to disambiguate people with the same username.

In particular, that number is only four base-10 digits long, and I'm pretty sure there are more than 10,000 people in the world who have ever played Hearthstone.
Its not that simple, retirement funds are complicated and can be more complicated if you work in different jobs/public or private sector, etc. Maybe you can only put in a certain % of your paycheck. Maybe you can't touch the money without a certain penalty. There are tons of complex rules compared to essentially venmo with equities and crypto.
The "Next" and "Next + 1" versions of React Native are starting to look quite exciting too. The Microsoft-backed full C++/WinRT rewrite of the Windows desktop support seems to be making good progress. With the Office team supposedly backing React Native as their preferred cross-platform toolkit moving forward, Microsoft looks like they'll be investing in RN for the long haul.

It seems good for everybody that Microsoft seems to be putting so much work into cross-platform dev in both .NET 6 and RN.
snap vs flatpak vs appimages once again shows the fragmentation within the linux desktop ecosystem. as a user, it makes me sad, cz I can't have one good solid experience. snap, updates might break, flatpak is not fully supported.

And my strong belief, is Microsoft is going to eat Linux Desktop. WSL to run your server apps and coding environment. windows for user apps. as someone who hasn't used windows in over 10 years, day by day seems windows is gonna be the future. sad to say, but true.
Well also, critically, variety of exercise.

I have a dip station and a bench and some dumbbells.

You can get maybe 30-40 exercises out of that and bodyweight exercises. It gets old quick. I'd love to do cable stuff or step machine, etc.
Delivering Peace of Mind About New Citrix Emerging Threat
This, exactly.

i know its a controversial post but its right for more reasons as well. Concorde was economically advantageous as long as fuel represented a small percentage of operational costs it launched in 1973 during the oil crisis and all the way through the OPEC embargo, and almost immediately became the most expensive plane any airline could choose to operate.

Airlines also had to contend with when and where to execute supersonic flight, as a boom over a populated city would immediately draw negative publicity. pushback in some cities in europe reduced the Concordes routes and speeds significantly in 1976

Concorde produced nitrogen oxides in its exhaust, which, despite complicated interactions with other ozone-depleting chemicals, are understood to result in degradation to the ozone layer at the stratospheric altitudes it cruised. while concord was a small fleet, 500 of them could become an ecological disaster.

Concorde's high cruising altitude meant passengers received almost twice the flux of extraterrestrial ionising radiation as those travelling on a conventional long-haul flight. the flight deck had a radiometer and an instrument to measure the rate of decrease of radiation. If the radiation level became too high, Concorde would descend below 47,000 feet. to my knowledge we still havent produced a SST that solves the radiation concern.

Equinox does charge $300/month per person in the LA area.
As I've stated in my other comments, the words I used such as MVP are not misleading, or at least, they have multiple meanings, such that those who understand what I meant by MVP were not confused as to its multiple meanings, so the communication was clear enough.
> But if you're absolutely sure you need to be planning to run at close to Twitter or Facebook scale one day, then yep, you'd better architect from the beginning not to use joins. And then whether you pick an RDBMS or NoSQL solution is mostly a tooling issue.

Even then you probably get a few years of use out of that simple setup while you work on migrating to a horizontal solution. And by then more likely than hitting Twitter-scale, your company has gone bankrupt.
Oh that's not really the problem I'm trying to solve here. Mainly my concern is 'i want to have a blog that spans my entire career' which has been personally difficult due to posterous dying, wordpress upgrades and hacks, etc etc. Static has really stabilised things over the last decade for me.
Exactly, It is ridiculously hard for poor people to invest in securities without Robinhood.
Xerox problem stemmed from simple replacement of "recognized" numbers with learned dictionary. Good implementation would use learned alphabet atlas as a supplement, encoding difference between guess and source image. That way even predicted 0 instead of 8 wouldnt be catastrophic with encoder filling in missing detail.
I got a smartwatch to track my progress. I was obessed with it for a about month. Then I got bored of it, mostly because I do have a really good sense of my activity that it gets redundant when you check the watch knowing what it'll say already.

Call me when the watch comes with a buttprobe to actually track realtime caloric burn, that'll be interesting.
In my day job I'm frequently chasing down older code, looking through blame/annotate etc. Commit messages with links to bugs and docs are often the fastest answer to the
fundamental questions "Why is this thus? What is the reason for this thusness?"
Not to dismiss your rebuttal (I don’t believe the technology for voyages cross the south Pacific existed in the Americas [south of Greenland] prior to European contact either), but it is also possible that some unlucky fishermen got caught in a storm off the coast, and was unable to return to land. They miraculously managed to survive while being carried with the currents to e.g. Rapa Nui where they were saved by the local population, nurtured back to health, and lived there, had children and then died.
reality is 99% of companies out there will be just fine with a single db server

all this nosql fad is simply because SQL is hard and newbies would just rather call it old and slow because they can't be bothered to learn it
If you’re interested in AMD64 SIMD, deep inside that article on SO there’s a link to my earlier article on the subject: http://const.me/articles/simd/simd.pdf

I also made offline docs, there: https://github.com/Const-me/IntelIntrinsics
I think a big difference is the fact that it's, you know, a mirror: You can see your movements and the instructor's at the same time, and adjust your form to mirror theirs.

For me, going to the gym (technically Bar Method) was always done with an instructor, so that I could get their feedback on proper form and adjustments to my routine.
That's a lower estimate of the acquisition based on the info about this deal linked elsewhere in the thread and on the net.
> . Your experience cannot be worse than "received no money" when it comes to raising money. It is a binary outcome.

Oh, but it can. That's kinda one of the points.

> Or that they meant that they would offer preferential treatment to black members of the Ivy League. Neither of these answers would be surprising.

Not surprising but inconsistent with the talk.
Possibly. The problem with the boutique fitness places is they make all the at home options look cheap.
Creating an Auto Chess Stats Site (TFT Focused) Part 1
tl;dr

All cause mortality lowest at 5g/day (baseline).
At 2g/day, all cause mortality 2x baseline.
At 10g/day all cause mortality 1.2x baseline

The graphs, especially Figure B at https://www.nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/nejmoa1311889 are a masterpiece of data visualization. IANAD, but don't restrict salt below 5g/day unless you are asked to by your medical professional.
Are you arguing for equality, or affirmative action? (I am not going to take a stance on which one is the right choice, but I do think you are conflating the two.)
I've allocated a 5GiB partition to /home on my SSD, as it does not need to be bigger. I don't want it filling up with software or other things like ivy/maven caches.
Chuck Norris is now on Twitter
I like how they are shamelessly trying to rebrand Jason Donenfeld's open source work in order to take the credit and the money for features with salesy names like "mobile IP" that were actually built inside WireGuard from day 1. In fact, I tried it a month ago and I had to uninstall it within the first 24 hours after I noticed the excessive logging eating my disk, the inexplicably high CPU usage, and low bandwidth compared to vanilla WireGuard, even pinging was failing randomly for some mysterious reason. WireGuard is a great piece of software, but Tailscale is a very bad, slow and buggy re-implementation of Zerotier over WireGuard.
What about a Roman or a Greek statue, they were enthusiastic slave owners. How long ago does someone have to have lived in order to appreciate them as a historical figure regardless of whether their actions were good or bad. Obviously there exists a point.
I'd say if the graph isn't linear, one of the axes aren't log enough...
>surviving a reboot is necessary since the point of storing history is to make it accessible later, otherwise you would use incog/private mode, or stronger.

What actual evidence do you have that incognito mode is wiping the history at session end?
> so you have a bit more money when you retire is stupid. You cant retire any earlier investing that way

This doesnt make sense, either you have more money and can retire earlier, or you dont.
> Do the people who develop this software never use their own systems?

I've harbored this suspicion of GNOME developers for years. It honestly wouldn't surprise me if a lot of Canonical devs don't use Ubuntu at home.
How is the existence of a model amplifying any bias? The example the author gives is that conditioning a linear model on some "biased" variable gives a more accurate model that predicts large differences between these groups. But the large difference in the groups is right there in the data. It's not amplified in any way. And then somehow this is the modeller's fault for choosing a naughty variable, as if the output of a model has anything to do with the world the modeller wishes existed.

The author's beef should be with the idiots who would take this model and then say "yep looks like since these two groups have different regression lines it's totally great that we see large differences between these groups"
The only way it would work is heavy moderation on the ads served.

Great question on trademark squatting, and I would love to hear the communities' thoughts.

If someone searches for 'nike shoes' and gets an ad for Reebok; is that useful to the user? Half of me thinks that it is not a relevant ad because the searcher clearly stated their intent, but the other half thinks that it might be because they are both shoe companies and their could be value in seeing related products from different brands.

I am leaning toward it not being a relevant ad, but I could see the argument the other way as well.
There should only be to features exposed from the clipboard API.

1. Push. Add a new item to the clipboard.

2. For apps, with an opt in permission. Delete items added by the app. Good for password managers.

Also, it's basically impossible to use a password manager without using the clipboard. At the one I use will automatically remove the items it sets after a timeout I can configure.
Originally, it was user interface.
I don't know what to say. Yesterday, for me, it was no where on the first few pages.
Reviewing Our Work
I think it isn't just as simple as wanting to fund black founders. If you do not understand how systems work and actively fix them, you are unlikely to be helpful to black founders.
That's what you call a self-solving problem. You don't want to work for these companies. :)
You're spot on right, especially with the pace of change in macOS. I was thinking that i could angle this as a good reason to charge for the product: "If you want this app to stick around for the long term, paying will ensure that". Combined with some sort of code escrow perhaps, plus a hugo or jekyll export as an 'offramp', i think it could be presented as reasonably 'safe-enough'.
If you feel that the results for your personal subset of queries are getting worse because Google is losing the fight against spam, that is a defensible position and we could discuss it.

The idea that Google intentionally trades away search quality to gain revenue is absurd and pretty much a loonie conspiracy theory.

I just looked at my Google search history and just judging from the last few searches it has been dead accurate. In particular, the result for "mass of a single nitrile glove" is amazing. The top result is an info box of glove mass by size. I don't even know how they do that. Compare the results of the same query on DDG. Those results are garbage.

That is, by the way, how Google defines "search quality". Thousands of paid analysts run searches on Google and Bing and rate the outcome.
Dart is...fine. The real value comes in its code generation features, which enable packages to add whatever language features they want even if the language maintainers don't (yet), such as algebraic data types, functional programming features, etc. You can argue this as being good or bad for future maintenance but it's nice to have the ability to add to the language.
Duke scientist questions his own research with new study faulting task fMRI
I heard through the grapevine that SoftBank sold something like 22,000 Pepper robots at $12k each. I never understood the utility -- I only ever saw them used as chintzy marketing gimmicks.

I could easily see 1000 qty sales of SpotMini for the cool factor alone -- i.e. research labs, corporate labs, startups, etc without ever finding a real "value" application. This drives me nuts as a roboticist & CEO of a service robotics company. But so it goes -- at least it's better than their past product: Youtube Videos.
Cross-database JOINs should work if the database server is written to handle that - take Spanner or CockroachDB: they’re both capable of high-performance cross-database and cross-server joins.

I think the poor reputation that cross-server joins have comes from servers like MS SQL Server that do cross-server joins through ODBC which is obviously going to be terrible for performance (though I don’t know exactly how - or even if - SQL Server handles a highly-selective INNER JOIN differently compared to a join with lower specificity on the remote table).
Any broker can give you margin, robinhood does all the same things TD ameritrade and everyone else does. A discussion about wall street bets is another thing, but robinhood is not some unique platform in this regard.
Yes, maybe we are.

The original article was about a theorem prover, but I was under the impression that the discussion had migrated to a more general discussion about division by zero in programming languages. Apologies if that wasn't intended.
Why use hypothetical stuff as an argument?
Weird. That "old version" is where e.g. https://rancher.com/quick-start/ points (if you click on the "supported Linux distribution" link).
For gcc you need `-funroll-loops` to unroll and `-fvariable-expansion-in-unroller` to get multiple accumulation vectors. By default, it'll only use 2 accumulation vectors. You can set it to 4 (for example) with `--param max-variable-expansions-in-unroller=4`.

`-funroll-loops` by default unrolls 8 times. Unrolling beyond the number of accumulators is wasteful for simple operations like dot procuts or summations, so you may want to control that with `--param -max-unroll-times=4`.

Thus, the following works and will produce generally faster code than LLVM (because LLVM doesn't vectorize the remainder, giving you potentially large numbers of scalar operations):

`-Ofast -funroll-loops --param max-unroll-times=4 -fvariable-expansion-in-unroller --param max-variable-expansions-in-unroller=4`
