Has there been any consideration by state/city governments to temporarily lift these restrictions until the pandemic is over so long as prices don't exceed the prepandemic price once we return to normalcy?

Again, I'm uniformed on this issue as I live in an area that doesn't practice rent control. Happy to hear if this is a bad idea for some reason I'm not thinking of.
>That kind of death rate would tank the economy far worse than a temporary shutdown.

That's completely false. Most of those deaths would be people who aren't working anyway (retirees). The 1918 flu killed way more people, but the economic impact was far less, because there were no lockdowns. Sweden had almost 6000 deaths, but its economy is still doing way better than most countries in Europe (France, Italy, England..).
Given that we're barely 5 years from a 5.8 inch phone being one of the largest phones on the market, I think it's still too early to call it a "small phone". It's certainly not what most people who say they want a "small phone" on this forum are looking for.
The article mentions that felonies did not produce a sentencing bias. Perhaps this is because sentencing guidelines for more severe crimes are also more closely defined by the points of the case and judges have less latitude in sentencing. If so, could other forms of bias be mitigated by providing additional guidelines for sentencing in those cases? Do they simply suffer from lack of attention to the guidelines?

Watching the Baseload Paradigm Fail
People who can afford to, hire private staff to fill many jobs and provide many services: coaches, tutors, advisors cooks, drivers, security, cleaning. even private schooling.

Where is the issue here? I genuinely don't understand. How is this any different than sending a kid to a private school?

I only wish I was rich enough to hire my kids a private teacher.

I’ve served on many juries.

Defense attorneys usually put on a show to relate to you in some way. The prosecution usually looks like undertakers and usually appeal to the institution of justice, sacred duty as a citizen, etc.

Just different flavors of bullshit.
It is fascinating because the notion of guilt may be difficult to apprehend.

It could be that the investigation of guilt is very carefully pursued, with a lot of rules, a lot of evidence.

It could also be that for 'most cases' the outcome is actually fairly straight foward?

Also, once someone is found to be 'guilty' - then we are free to 'loathe and pity then'. Whereas guilt/innocence is mostly a black and white affair, subject to objective guidance ... the sentencing may not be, which is to say, it's maybe hard to reference 'what is a little and what is a lot' in any given scenario, so are bias are more likely to run free.
I recently started to read his book Intellectuals and Race, but stopped because his putative citations did not support his claim that whites in America are at a disadvantage relative to Asian Americans w.r.t. mortgage applications and keeping their jobs during downturns.

I think he has interesting things to say, and is certainly a great interview subject, but I would approach his claims with caution.
The fake masks accumulate and concentrate particles in the users airstream. The large aerosols they do catch are dried and the contents can easily then pass through. They are not designed for viruses, and there is no strong evidence they do anything positive. I suspect they are a strong net negative.

At the very least they provide false sense of protection. If people want to be protected, they should use a real mask designed for viruses.

In situations where 100% mask compliance exits, they are still not effective.

Fort Benning: "according to Elizabeth Howe of Connecting Vets. About 640 recruits from the 30th AG Battalion and 2nd Battalion, 29th Infantry Regiment arrived at Fort Benning in May for training and were immediately tested for COVID-19. Four recruits tested positive and were removed from the group while the remaining soldiers were placed in isolation for 14 days without any training exercises. After the 14-day quarantine, they were all retested and every single one was negative.
Only then did the training commence – with the full panoply of obsessive social distancing measures, including mask wearing. You can imagine that there will never be greater compliance to these rules than during military training. Yet, just eight days later, after one recruit exhibited symptoms, 142 of the trainees tested positive. That is 22% of the entire group isolated and quarantined together. As they were young, none of them were hospitalized and most were asymptomatic."

And then there is the psychology, which is... more troubling to say the least. To the people promoting this pseudoscience, why not wear the fake masks forever?

Well, it replicates DNA. There's other uses for it other than just sequencing, but that is a common one.
You aren't making a fair comparison here.

Flux is more generic, flexible and thus harder to build. Julia could have been there already if the small ML team w was working with TF type design goals. But they aren't, and therefore are ahead of TF/pytorch in many respects.

Also not as much effort has gone into making this polished for standard deep learning stuff, but you can see the fruit in things like reusing the same code for ML on holomophically encrypted data, faster than pytorch/tf deep learning on graphs and 3d inputs, faster, easier composability with ODEs and prob programming etc.
Thank you for posting this. The figures, modern and historic, in the book were IIRC entirely men. As a bewildered outsider, I extrapolated from that, but I'm delighted to learn that this sport appeals to a broader audience than is represented in the book :-)

This seems to be the part that everyone's missing. "Oh, this rarely happens" is ambiguous, we don't have any data on how often MCAS operated correctly during flights.

Also, in events that 'rarely happen' one of which is approaching a stall (according to the FAA's report), is it safe to disable the system in the actual scenario when encountered? It doesn't seem so. I can't see how both "Need this system for extremely rare scenario" and "Disabling this system because scenario is extremely rare is okay" can both be true.
I would pay a good amount of money ($ iPad Pro) to have an AR display+mobileCPU that was a good desktop/terminal and smaller/lighter than a laptop--preferably running a full OS (not iOS/Android).
This could be because of (anti-)selection bias. If you have a test of skill that can be overridden because someone happens to be very attractive, than the only really incompetent people who will make it past the skill filter are those who are really attractive. If both the skill filter and the attractiveness filter are very selective, then incompetent people will be overrepresented among attractive people by the inverse of the selectivity factor of the skill filter.
Unfortunately, they didn't give many details in the paper. It's frustrating, to say the least. Yay reproducibility. They say

> We use the same model and architecture as GPT-2 [RWC+19], including the modified initialization, pre-normalization, and reversible tokenization described therein, with the exception that we use alternating dense and locally banded sparse attention patterns in the layers of the transformer, similar to the Sparse Transformer.

In the referenced paper (sparse transformer) they showed a bunch of different sparsity patterns, and I believe they're referring to either their banded block diagonal sparsity or a true banded diagonal pattern (local windows like bigbird and some other papers). Unfortunately, that paper also was light on details and the repo they open sourced alongside it is inscrutible.
> Maybe all the lawyers and jurors should be literally blindfolded, like Lady Justice.

People are generally quick to complain about bias, for whatever reason, while hypocritically guilty of bias just the same. As a result most people would be incredibly unhappy in institutional conventions with bias objectively removed because the resultant outcome would be wildly different than they intuitively anticipate. The most interesting part about that is that it’s identifiable and measurable.
Ugh. Technology. Why do we work with it? jbudde@a2tech.us
From what I have read, you are most infectious in the 24-72 hour period before experiencing any symptoms.

Given that the time from infection to symptomality is as short as 48 hours, this means it may be possible to be infected by someone before either they or the person that infected them has started to show any symptoms.
You're defiantly missing the point and beating it to death.

The issue for you might be ease of configuration, but that's not the issue I was talking about. It's availability of libraries and toolkits, which C++ still dominates in the realms of mathematics, graphics & video, GPU programming, gaming, embedded, networking, etc. And if there's something not available for C++ chances are it's there for C and easily used or wrapped.

Configuration management has indeed been C and C++'s weak point, but in the last 5-10 years things have definitely improved since the world of autotools and the like, and while I appreciate Rust's module and package system for what it is... I can get by with CMake + Hunter or similar systems.

And besides, for my day job (Google) it's either C++ with GN/Ninja or C++ with Blaze/Bazel. And that is also quite excellent for what it is.

At this point my career being able to quickly try out a package or rapidly add a new dependency isn't my measure of quality engineering. In my past life I was a Java developer and a big Maven advocate (when it was pretty new); and the world of bottomless dependency trees that spawned is not something I'm eager to repeat. These days I try to keep my external dependencies ... strategic.
There's pressure the other way.

We have the track, just not the companies doing passenger service. The ones we used to have all went bankrupt during the great depression and disappeared. A similar story played out across the Americas in Canada, Brazil, and Argentina, all of which have expansive rail networks, but limited passenger service. As for efficiency, I'll go by amtrak's numbers [1], which claim to be 36% better than domestic air.

I think we need to look outward to other disciplines here. We do a poor job of organization and that causes many of the problems we see.
Someone, I think Sonja Starr, did a series of studies on racial bias on sentencing. Unsurprisingly, it existed. Here's the shocker: the male versus female bias on sentencing was enormous by comparison, using the same methodology.

I remember a very left forum in which someone bemoaned that one out of four homeless are women, and that's why we should care about homelessness.

Overall, I have begun to look at which privileges are examined and which are ignored as the real three card monte.
There are politics in online games and forums where nobody sees each other. I've been in Slack groups with lots of private gossip channels. I don't think office politics will change much.

One of my favourite quotes: "Civilized men are more discourteous than savages because they know they can be impolite without having their skulls split, as a general thing." - Robert E. Howard (Conan)

The lack of any physical response may make people even ruder with one another. Though it will cut down on office affairs and the like.
> Most pilots will never be in a situation where MCAS is useful.

And if they are in the situation? Also, there's no data on how many times MCAS activated on non-crashing flights with valid data, so this statement is 100% speculation.

Fair point. Do you think that's because of the observed correlation in the past, or some other reason? Biases are strong, and I'd admittedly not have a high first impression of the skills of someone who spent a lot of time on looks, male or female, just based on my own past experiences.

Another aspect of the relationship, I'm sure, is that attractive people are better looked after. And people who are better looked after, especially at a young age, have more opportunities to learn, socially and otherwise, than people who are worse looked after.

GPT-3 vs. Human Brain Training Cost (YouTube)
Completely on point, but this community leans conservative/libertarian and will quite likely not see eye-to-eye with you on this.
There's also the simple fact that attractiveness is endogenous. An intelligent, hard-working person will realize that attractive people get treated better and work to make themself attractive.
25 years of online communities provides a great testbed for this hypothesis.

Language becomes the new class marker. Even in strictly text-based media, people make snap judgments about who is worth listening to. It's based on spelling, complete sentences, punctuation, 1337speak or other dialects, even things as subtle as paragraph structure and who (and how) you cite. Back before Tinder became a thing, I knew several women (my now-wife among them) who would instantly ignore a man if he had spelling errors or improper grammar in his online dating profile.

Daniel Kahneman wrote once that if you really want an unbiased decision, you need to have a computer make it, because all humans are biased. Even then, the software ends up biased in the same way as its creators.

Think about commit in git. It is the logical evolution of the concept.
There should be a way to do a precomputation, starting at the last square before the exit and putting a 'signpost' value that points towards the exit. Imagine planting a sign that points to the exit in the square adjacent to the exit. Then iterate over all squares reachable from that square and have them point to the square next to the exit and repeat, building flows that all point to some path to the exit until all connected maze tiles have been reached.

If you still want randomness, give the people a chance to follow the signpost or move randomly, but bias it towards following the signs the longer they've been in the maze.

This should scale pretty well, at the expensive of requiring a one-time recomputation whenever the maze is altered.

Yolo isn't really suitable for classification - it's an object detector.

For maximum accuracy there are high-quality well tested ResNet128 or ResNet152 implementations for PyTorch[1] and TensorFlow[2] that most people would use as a basis for classification tasks where the highest accuracy is needed. Lower quality ResNets (eg ResNet50) run a lot faster.

Note that in this post, PP-YOLO replaces the older YOLO backbone with a ResNet50 (ResNet50-vd-dcn to be precise) backbone.

EfficientNet is another good option[3], as is SE-ResNet.

For this specific task it's not entirely clear what/how the classification is supposed to work though. The source of the photos is really, really important: if they are physical photos then the scanner used is important. And things like different film have different tone, and storage of physical photos matters a lot.
