This phenomenon exists in the German language as well. The "Schwarzschild" in Schwarzschild radius literally means "black shield", but it is in fact named after Karl Schwarzschild.

On the other hand, there are terms like eigenvector/eigenvalue, which literally mean "own"-vector/"own"-value in German. When I first learned that they still have the "eigen" prefix when translated to English, I immediately assumed that they are named after some mathematician named Eigen. To my surprise, that was not the case -- for some reason, mathematicians did indeed decide to use the German word for "own" as a prefix.

I like the view i picked up somewhere but don't remember from whom:
Tests are not there to prove something is working, but to prove something is not working.

They are a fairly cheap way to tell me during development that this ain't going to work no matter what. And if everything compiles and the tests and reviews pass, I think this has a good shot at working out in production, but there still might well be cases and circumstances I haven't or coulnd't have considered.

No setup will cover 100%, but with not that much work you can already get quite far. The tricky thing in my opinions is more on deciding which kind of tests, processes and automations are actually worth implementing and maintaining at a given stage of a project.
True. On top of all that Watson / etc are supposedly more accurate for several cancers already. Given IBM, probably still have a few decades before they can effectively get to market. ;)
If the goal is rhetoric and not truth, no amount of repeating droll truisms is going to prevent that.
Additionally this comment thread has been fairly tame.

It doesn’t need to be said so much, obviously. I’ve counted what, 3 times so far in just this thread?

How is the cobalt getting mixed with the stuff mined from the ground? I guess that's the part that confuses me.

Also, what's in the lead? I didn't think we wanted CO2 in lead but I'm really not sure what impurities it might have naturally.

When things are so clearly bullshit then the point of being 'open minded' about things that are done and dusted only serves to confuse and obfuscate. Take the US at the moment. A contry ripped apart by anti-scientific thinking.

To be more specific, the origins of SARS-CoV-2 are still potentially unknown but if the overwhelming scientific consensus is that it has natural origin. So what does the purpose of dissenting voices, and the average joe seizing on one of these because 'it feels right'? It's the same problem that has lead to anti-vaccers - the unneecessary sewing of doubt where it is not their place to doubt.

Stay open minded, ask important questions, but for gods sake, if you are not a scientist, recognise that those that are trained people who are doing much of the hard work for you. And scientific concensus is not going to be overturned by someone listening to the president on fox news or one outlier quack peddler
I'm confused... clicking on the PDF source data (Data through Jul 16, 2020 verified as of Jul 17, 2020 at 09:25 AM), it clearly shows a 13.4% overall positivity rate. Where is the 31.1% coming from?

I use Microsoft Onenote. I use it because it is bundled with Office 365. It suits me encourage the use of 365 rather than another app, because my team then have less software to support. It is good enough, and that's enough for me to not be bothered with anything else.
Okay. But how do we determine if something is logical? At the very least we have to abstractly infer and compare with what we have been taught is logic (because hardcoding it manually doesn't map to the [hierarchical] intricacies of reality very well). So logic is a high level reasoning which has to be powered by the low-level abstract/infer/mimic as exhibited e.g. by the transformer.

I wonder if expert systems could be used to generate a "logical reasoning" training dataset (or a cost/fitness function) to help train/evolve neural networks on. Or if there are other ways of integrating these two.
She was talking about an investment property, so yes a rental property.

Of course hindsight is always 20-20 - anyone can say "I wish I had invested in Apple in 2003". I really don't understand the point of your comment. The point of my story was that our system incentives the wrong things, not that we're all investment geniuses.

I could elaborate on how the choosing of the coffee shop location itself was an investment in the location after a ton of research and a lifetime of growing up in that city and knowing it inside and out, all of which worked out beyond expectations, but really that's totally missing the point here.
If only there were a section of scientific papers devoted to explaining the Methods used to obtain the Results. It’d be especially great if it came after an Introduction explaining the context and was followed by a Discussion of the merits, weaknesses, and impact of the study.
"People who say AGI is a hundred years away also said GO was 50 years away" this is not true. The major skeptics never said this. The point skeptics were making was that benchmarks for chess (IBM), Jeopardy!(IBM), GO (Google), Dota 2 (OpenAI) and all the rest are poor benchmarks for AI. IBM Watson beat the best human at Jeopardy! a decade ago, yet NLP is trash, and Watson failed to provide commercial value (probably because it sucks). I'm unimpressed by GLT-3, to me nothing fundamentally new was accomplished, they just brute forced on a bigger computer. I expect this go to the same way as IBM Watson.

China's great if you have a decent amount of money -- labor's cheap, so all sorts of stuff (food prep, transportation, delivery services) that's heavy on labor is dirt cheap in China even if it's unaffordable in the West.

But racism... speaking as a rich white guy who was treated as nicely as you'd generally expect, even I could tell it wouldn't be fun to be an ethnic minority there. Chinese ethnic minorities visiting Beijing are themselves something of a tourist attraction; tour guides leading Westerners around point and stare and talk about those minorities sort of the way you'd point and stare and talk about a wild animal you found roaming the streets. Thing is, 95+ percent of China is a single (self-identified) ethnic group so there are just fewer encounters with minorities.
First, I dislike the AP style guide. So my own writing will sometimes violate it just to please me.

As for periods, any phrase that is a complete sentence must have a final punctuation mark. So my bullet points would've required periods in a report. They also could've been connected by semicolons with a conjuction at the end of the second-to-last point:

- A;

- B; or

- C.

The idea is to stick to proper English sentences. The bullet points are just incidental formatting.
Too bad Jared lied on his SF86. This would be a great addition to his distinguished line of jobs.
American here. I spent a couple of months in China and have Chinese friends, so here are a few things off the top of my head (take with a grain of salt and consider talking with Chinese people for a more authentic perspective):

- Reliable high-speed railway.

- Night markets -- lots of people socializing in the street into the early hours of the morning, enjoying street food, beer, etc.

- A sense of shared experience that's difficult to find in hyper-individualistic societies.

The Chinese perspective, AFAICT, is that individual liberties are worth trading for prosperity and so-called "economic" liberties. I'm told that this is something that's difficult to understand unless you've experienced the sort of progress that China has observed firsthand.

> Close connections at work have stayed relatively strong, perhaps even strengthening as we shore them up with recurring 1:1s and social team meetings. Peripheral connections have gone down the toilet. Team and role homophily run rampant.

This absolutely mirrors my experience. Casual conversations with people outside of my team and friends, which would've happened by just being in close proximity to them have disappeared.

While I believe we're still working very well as a team, opportunities to form connections outside of our domain have dwindled. We used to have this Slack app called Donut [1] which periodically matches colleagues together for a 1:1, but these days people are sick of Zoom meetings so you really do need a sound excuse to set one up. In-person 1:1s were a chance to escape the office for some coffee and a snack; Zoom meetings are much less tantalising.

I really hate this dog whistle crap that I keep hearing. It's like a more intellectual version of 'so what you're really saying is <something you did not explicitly say>'. I don't know how it ever became a legitimate thing to say but I keep seeing it used to brandish anybody, who's opinion is not completely in line with standard left ideology, as some sort of bigot in hiding.

I don't agree so much with the parts you quoted but it should be obvious to a reasonable person that somebody could have those opinions and not be a white supremecist.

It really is scary to me how quickly people will throw around these accusations

Believe it or not, you do not have to be a white supremecist to be sympathetic with

It's unfortunate that your comments are getting downvoted when they are filling in for a perspective that seems to be missing from the conversation. I hope some people can see value in your comments as data points from China, rather than a value judgment.
pine64 has been making open source hardware for a while, with a bunch of single board computers similar to the raspberry pi. They're probably going to be around for a while.

Purism appears to be having hardware issues with the Librem, and from what I've heard their laptop hardware is also pretty bad.
When it comes to smoothing out a burn-down chart, the trick is the break up the tasks in a way that allows for each to be completed in full according to how you work on them. It may go against the logical or functional division of the project but it helps you mark stuff as done.

For JIRA in particular, also avoid creating sub-tasks if you're burn-down is tracking at the task level - as you have to complete all subs for the main task to be complete.
How much of this actually has to do with using the language? Unless the companies are solving very specific technical problems that Erlang/Elixir are designed to solve, what really matters is productive software devs and managers, and that is more defined by expertise and domain knowledge in a particular language than the language itself (within reason: you're not going to choose C over Ruby for a web app backend).

How much of this is due to (the minority of) devs that can code Erlang/Elixir being more experienced/productive regardless of the language? Or just having good tech management?

This sounds a bit like old quantum theory: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Old_quantum_theory

I'd say the intuition here is misleading. S orbitals (including the ground state) really are spherically symmetric. There are no waves "around" the orbital: they only vary in the radial direction.

But "must smoothly connect" is important. As you walk outwards from the nucleus, the electron wavefunction oscillates until it reaches the classical turning point, when it switches to exponential decay. Only a very few functions can smoothly join these two modes, which is one explanation for why bound state energies are quantized.
"Unproductive money digging" is exactly how this financialised economy operates.

The only difference is that process of production and mining is a little less obvious - to outsiders - than stuffing cash into bottles and burying it.

And of course it's privatised, which is better by definition, supposedly.

Some useful work is a byproduct. But the total of useful work isn't necessarily higher than in Keynes' example - see also Graeber's Bullshit Jobs, etc.
The Impact of Culture
Not good enough. It might print a pattern of white pixels too. You need a yellow random-halftoned background. I would not be surprised to learn that this also is defeated by some kind of FFT scheme used just for such images. There is plenty of room for code of practically unlimited sophistication.

Got to figure anything you print is compromised, which might be an intended point.
I doubt you'd want to trade your healthcare for what is available to the average Chinese person (as opposed to wealthy urban elites and expats). The public transportation really is extraordinary though.

I'm in the demographic you describe, yet I've had a hard time finding resources to develop that "mathematical maturity" short of going back to graduate school. Which I'd love to do, but am at a point in my career where that would be devastatingly expensive to my future since these are the prime earning and wealth building years.

I wish there was more of a self directed way to achieve this.
The need for good drivers was something NVidia 'figured out' really early on in the game.

Oddly, while I agree that ATI/AMD's 3d drivers have ranged from 'ok' to 'dumpster fire', I remember a time when their AIO (i.e. VIVO/Tuner/3d) boards just plain worked (aside from not very good 3d performance.) Perhaps their driver team couldn't adapt.
yes, for myself, I've taken that step for some time. It's just the case that most corporate cafeterias have not really jumped on the bandwagon already (offering 80% meat-dishes, e.g. all but one – take it or leave it then...) and frankly I think I would've gotten a lot more used to vegetables as a child if it would not have been some variation on steamed cale-likes together with salted potatoes most of the time as a purely "vegetarian" meal (my mother and grandmother cook pretty well - I tend to like it most if there's a pinch of animal in it though...).

This is only sort of true. You can import/export markdown(or text) files, but the source of truth is in a sqlite database. When you sync with webdav or another folder, that's also markdown - but it's not recommended to edit those files directly.

This can be used to generate fake flirting on dating sites. (I assume this is already going on, but now they don't need to hire humans to do it.) Or how about flamewar bots to keeps Twitter users busy. Also perhaps it can answer support questions better than current systems. Come to think of it, we might eventually need some sort of proof/signature that something was written by a human being.
The tl;dr is they found some genes relating to iron metabolism and other key cellular processes that are correlated with longevity and healthy ageing. It doesn't seem particularly actionable unless you're a DNA researcher.
Awesome, glad to hear you've found it so useful!

Yeah that's a great idea! I guess our thinking regarding the stages was to allow further progression if people wanted to keep listening longer than say 3 stages but allowing people to redo the entire program would accomplish the same while also allowing for that 'completion' feeling.

Thanks for the suggestion! We'll bring the idea up to Dr Yapko around developing some sessions for it.
Well, not quite QM, but the sentence also implies that the speaker talks to regular horses about other topics or at least admits the existence of topics you can talk to regular horses about - maybe oat quality, I don't know.

It depends on your circumstances.

If you own your home, generally speaking, by the time you factor property taxes, the NYC income taxes aren’t as crazy as they seem. Property taxes are 2.5-4x higher in surrounding areas.

The ROI depends on your specifics. Even in low tax locales like the South, people get surprised by things like food sales taxes and HOAs that are responsible for things like sewers.

You write "I never said that management isn't work" and then your next sentence says exactly that management isn't work. Again.

The healthcare thing doesn't jive with what I've heard from my native Chinese friends; I've heard if you have the right connections (and by association, wealth) you can get exactly what you need, but without that you can't get anything.
Hey friend. You're 100% right for pointing out that this stuff is addressed in the paper. I think the sarcasm is a disservice to everyone, both you and the parent comment included. Further, he may not have had (or may not have) the time to fully analyze the paper, and may be asking if others are aware if that specific concern is addressed, which seems like a reasonable comment.
Perhaps the number was originally 4% of all messages, and now it is ~6%? The relative increase is large, but as percentage of total messages, it's likely still low. Kind of like how startups can have insane growth numbers because, originally, they had only a handful of customers.

Is it weird that I find myself utterly distressed that these can be so uncertain?
Exactly. Even gpt3 is not creating new content. It is just permuting ecisting content while retaining some level of coherence. I don't reason by repeating various tidbits I've read in books in random permutations. I reason by thinking abstractly and logically, with a creative insight here and there. Nothing at all like a Markov model trained on a massive corpus. Gpt3 may give the appearance of intelligent thought, but appearance is not reality.
I’ve always found it shocking (well not that shocking honestly after years at 10 person startups to 5,000+ people companies) that you get these folks who read “measure what matters” or some cherry picked Andy Grove stuff & decide “this will fix our velocity and other problems”.

Like no, hard no. OKRs are great, I personally love them but if your company has deeper issues a set of OKRs won’t help and likely hurt as it obfuscates the underlying issues that exist.

I'd love to learn more about that as we though the money-back guarantee would help assuage hesitation around trying the program - why doesn't it?

If you do want a free trial the mobile app store subscription has a free trial but doesn't come with a money-back guarantee (Apple's control).

In your view, what's more compelling - a free trial or money-back guarantee?
This resonates alot. I’d add another incentive for the “sponsor” is that they can pay you less as well, as its an “opportunity”. As a sibling commentor said though, you gotta be good enough, so dont be too hard on yourself for giving it a crack.
