It's the dirty little secret when it comes to "Democracy". The idea is simple and noble in that everyone has a say, but then we turn around and go with "representational" systems instead because we don't really want everyone to have a say in everything. Like you said with today's and maybe the last 1-2 decades technology, there is no excuse for not going with more direct democracy like voting.

I've argued it before, and get rebutted with things such as "we need to let the experts decide, average people don't understand nuance" or "we don't want rule by mob/majority" or "get involved in your local community meetings instead" or "what if the people vote to exterminate minorities", etc. But the fact of the matter is that some sort of direct-democracy, or individual-level decision making (such as suggested above regarding tax-spending) would allow society to self-correct and adapt without the need for complicated and "expert" interventions. I understand the extreme examples, sure, but we're not even trying to involve the populace more for even minor things.

On a side note, with my conspiracy hat on, this is why "electronic" voting is opposed so heavily. That and the whole "votes have to be anonymous yet independently verifiable but not linked to your identity because you might sell your vote" nonsense. Because the natural consequence of a reduction of cost when it comes to voting is that we'd end up voting on more granular things and more often, and we can't have that. Instead we want people to enact change by fostering "movements" and "protesting for change", because that really doesn't do anything at the end of the day.

This typo sounds profoundly, of a butterfly; vague and formless, overgeneralizing.
The landscape and far away shots are more iconic, but you can absolutely get closer and see the ruins. They were forcing one-way traffic for tourists within the ruins and there are some restricted areas when I was there last year.

If you do decide to go, you should consider the Inca Trail, which (historically) has sold out ~6mo in advance as the govt limits # of people on the trail. We were among the first people to enter the ruins in the early AM and we had the place to ourselves briefly.

The place was overrun with tourists within an hour and it was quite jarring after being able to enjoy the peace and beauty of the mountains for a few days. The journey to get to Machu Picchu was better than just visting the ruins alone, imo.
Am I reading this wrong or the site's traffic is almost always under 1000 page views per day ?

The abstract is indeed fascinating and I'm reading through the full text, which is so far mostly easy to understand for a layman.

The high number of typos throws me a bit though. Amusingly they even misspell their central idea "Overfitted Brian Hypothesis" and I gotta say that the opening reminds me a bit of fluff you see in mindless high school essays.

A couple of decades ago I wrote a finite difference simulator for CCS as enhanced recovery for coalbed methane. The process was financially viable in Canada due to carbon credit incentives linked to the Kyoto protocol and the relatively high price of natural gas at the time. Of course the U.S. never participated and, for a variety of reasons, the price of natural gas plummeted.

There is a CCS capable coal seam within 50 km of every coal and natural gas power plant in N. America, so in the minority of cases where falling LCOE of renewables doesn't outcompete existing generation naturally it might make sense to incentivise CCS, provided that the produced natural gas would further enable renewables.

The net carbon impact could be even more significant in China.

The relationship between soot aerosol and warming is complex.
Black Soot may dim the sunlight,but may increase the warming by warming the snow.

"A new study found that emissions of soot, or black carbon, alters the way sunlight reflects off snow and may be responsible for as much as 25 percent of observed global warming over the past century."

Ash from the volcanoes on the other hand,can cause cooling depending on,among other factors,their composition.

For example, the cooling observed due to Mount Pinatubo is due to Sulphuric Acid aerosol particles.

It was. I have searched long for a similar program (mainly face recognition) and couldn't find one. Github is full of POC for that, but nothing in a "complete" package.

I tried Digikam, but their face eh recognition discovered also lots of non-faces. The UI also was not fun to use. You click on a suggestion and it takes several seconds before you could type either the name, or pick one. All that with a relatively small collection (2TB).
Coming from germanic languages where a lot of pronouns are available but only a very small subset is used today, the ye/thou pronoun context makes more sense now with that explanation.

For those who don’t know, the issue in the US with not knowing the hotel or car rental costs is typically taxes. Different places have different taxes and those are often not shared at the time one books.

I’ve been using fixed price services (they exist) just so I don’t run into what Chris did. They aren’t evangelized as well.
One important factor is how fast that 6 upvotes happened and from who. If it got posted and got 6 upvotes within a few minutes and that from "proper" accounts it is on the front page. If it has the same amount but it takes 30 min then not. At least from my personal experience.
This actually happens in Portugal. When filling your taxes you can select a non-profit to receive a cut (don't remember how much though). Family and most friends live there, and never have I heard about this changing in any way how they feel about taxes.
I'd say that's a feature if you let individuals do that, but a bug/fraud otherwise.

A while back I heard someone propose the idea of "delegating" your vote to an arbitrary person and they'd vote on individual vote items on your behalf, or consequently "delegate" it yet again to someone above. Essentially creating a giant hierarchy of representation.
Put in a typo somewhere and it will appear even more likely to be written by a human.

It sounds like you're in a good position. Maybe you should try to be either an expert engineer or manager. These things take effort. If your company won't sponsor training, you might have to pick it up yourself.

The question arises why it's still a startup. Is it lacking leadership? Poor luck? Weak market? Since you've already put on so many hats, maybe take on another and try to fix that.
If I am not coughing, I dont need to wear a mask. You cant say I dont care about other people if I'm not sick and not coughing/sneezing, but not wearing a mask. You're acting like an authoritarian and you're treating people like they are ignorant.

No, it's not. They are delibetarely misusing a well-established term and they deserve to be called out for that. This is extremely antagonizing and it is impossible to take the rest of the project seriously when it is presented that way. The same thing happened when zoom said that their program did "end-to-end encryption", while it didn't; it was a great project, but tainted by a callous and misleading usage of terminology.

I wonder what psychology as a discipline will look like in twenty years? I feel like what we're learning now about the human mind through our study of neural networks is similar to the early work in cellular biology that eventually replaced metaphor-based models in medicine (e.g. 'humors') with more ontological ones. Freud's Ego, Superego and Id are gone. So are 'complexes'. Our model of the human mind currently seems to be limited to 'conscious and subconscious'. I'm excited at the prospect of something much better.

Belgian here. 1) we counted _all_ possible cases (https://www.npr.org/sections/coronavirus-live-updates/2020/0...) and 2) Belgium's population density is really high, so of course the virus travels easily.

You cannot compare two countries without taking more things than two numbers into account.
I think it's more accurate to say that die shrinkage is over. Moore's Law still has a fighting chance, we just have to wait and see what the clever engineers at AMD, Intel, Qualcom, et al. do about it.

Of course, with 5 million transistors of pure power, I also see no need for further improvements.

It’s really hard for people to follow these unless there is some strong enforcement like seatbelts.
Another issue here: wearing mask 99.99% of the time in public but venting it while sneezing/coughing defeats the entire purpose and I think this is the only thing that really matters. I’ve seen a few people do this in public.

I mean the “monstrosity of services” is a bucket holding files and a CDN. It’s 2 services. I do this for my site (that gets no traffic and hasnt been updated in years) and it’s quite nice to not have to admin a server.

Now that said it looks like his job is in cloud evangelism too so I’m sure a large part is that he wants to maintain a personal account to learn/hone skills. I’d recommend anyone do that, getting a look at aws without whatever your company is doing on top of it is pretty awesome for learning. Just don’t host massive S3 images and shoot yourself in the foot ;-)

I don't see how people could be expected to have any meaningful understanding of so many, varied, interdependent national budgeting and political decisions. It'd be a full-time occupation to try and stay even superficially aware of the implications of multiple votes per day.
Which is already the way things work. All our decision power is delegated to politicians, and we don't get paid and we cant revoke it either, we can only transfer it to some other politician at the end of the term of the current one.
Keyboard and screen are great IMO, but I am coming from a Macbook Pro (butterfly keyboard) and Thinkpad T430.

I'm foreseeing impending downvotes but I have to rant somewhere. There should be a name for this kind of ridiculous hubris. Unfalsifiable non-insights by people trying to apply arbitrary deep learning algorithms to a brain which is definitely not using any of them. DLcentrism? We don't even know how the brain does almost anything and you think you can use trendy AI topics to explain something as complex and mysterious as dreams?

This reminds me of Matt Walker's terrible book on sleep, which, as with almost all neuroscience research recently, tries to explain "why" we have some behavioral pattern or experience, but literally never offers an explanation at all, opting to say "this region lights up in an fMRI machine", as if that answers anything at all. It's like if you asked "why does the heart pump blood?" and a cardiologist answered, "well, the heart is very important for exercise, and people with healthy hearts live longer, and when we attach electrodes to it we see these interesting patterns associated with pulse and breathing...". That's Matt Walker's book applied to the brain. This allows "neuroscience" to get away these ridiculously overextended papers, because you can't disprove anything about something so hard to understand in the first place.
I was going to say exactly the same thing!

I personally think wearing a mask indoors around others is a good idea, but this "graphic" isn't going to convince anyone - it just states vague facts without numbers or references.
I, too, am currently discovering that it is a bit too slow. Too bad, I would very much like a Picasa replacement.
Hotel I agree, Rental car less so: the final price always seems to be about 2x the advertised daily rate so I think there is more at play than taxes
Why stop at 5%? Why not 50, 100%? So let's assume people don't get the choice of "reducing" their taxes, but get to allocate on a per-budget category level how much of all their individual taxes get allocated? Someone can allocate the whole 100% of their salary to say education and 0% to military/defense spending. Another might decide to put lots into healthcare, plenty in education and none for military. Others would allocate 100% to military, etc.

Why would that be broken on a societal level, and how is it not "democratic" to allow people to allocate their "voluntarily given" taxes how they please? What are we afraid of happening? Can we not control the problem slightly and just give them high-level categories to try it out?
I bought a 240hz monitor from AWH and there was a 144hz one in the box. Sad times to set that all up and see that someone got a free upgrade.
This looks really fascinating; can someone explain it to me like I'm 5? e.g. What is a "topological magnet phase"? What kind of applications might this be used for one day?
We already have that in the US. The government lets you deduct charitable donations.

I’d rather we could earmark our tax payments.

I wouldn’t send anything to any department involved in trampling basic human rights. I also wouldn’t pay a cent to oil or corn subsidies.

In such a system, I imagine Amtrak and the department of education would be getting 10x more than they do now.

Similarly, I suspect the US would be carbon negative in a few years.

The supreme court ruled money is speech, so I argue that not letting me earmark my payments is suppressing my speech.
Overview of the Contoso Corporation
> ... all DNNs face the issue of overfitting as they learn, which is when performance on one data set increases but the network's performance fails to generalize (often measured by the divergence of performance on training vs testing data sets). This ubiquitous problem in DNNs is often solved by experimenters via "noise injections" in the form of noisy or corrupted inputs. The goal of this paper is to argue that the brain faces a similar challenge of overfitting, and that nightly dreams evolved to combat the brain's overfitting during its daily learning.

Actually, there's compelling evidence that overfitting is a necessary step for achieving state-of-the-art performance with DNNs!

Many state-of-the-art deep learning models today are trained until they achieve ~100% accuracy on the training data, and then we continue to train them because once they go past this "interpolation threshold" they continue learning to generalize better to unseen data. This is known as the "double descent" phenomenon. See, for example:

https://openai.com/blog/deep-double-descent/

https://arxiv.org/abs/1912.02292

https://arxiv.org/abs/1903.08560

The author makes no mention of double descent and the need for overfitting. In fact, he seems completely unaware of it.

Well, that's debatable. The WHO made a statement that asymptomatic spread was rare but then immediately walked it back[0], quite awkwardly I might add if you watch the spokesperson's press video, most likely due to US political pressure[1]. There are studies from as far back as February from Germany, that challenged previous asymptomatic spread studies[2], and another one in May[3], although that one comes out of China and may just be trying to cover their response.

Thank you for at least acknowledging it openly. A cultural shift is a necessary (though ofc not sufficient) part of this.
I agree with you. My question then is, Why would we not want to jump on this NOW, when we know that we are not stopping deforestation and ocean destabilization within the next 10-20 years? We can't guard the ocean or rain forests, yet. Why not put a small amount of money at something we CAN do while we figure out the logistics of protecting things other countries don't want to (or cant help) protect.
