With all the hype surrounding GPT-3, super interesting question.

Yesterday I read an article listed in HN, stating that the brain process spacial information together with visual information.

I would like to know if a transformer model is capable of learning current context: Maybe using some other form of neural net combined with other Bidirectional Transformer. That would work as a chatbot engine, though.

Complaining about the use of unsafe as a “gotcha” is a common canard used by people who often don’t understand what it means. On HN at least, it’s usually not a substantial criticism.

Or $800k. Or $1m. Or $1.2m.

The $2.5m -> $500k is an easy soundbite, but it doesn't have to even be that drastic.

Granted, shaving 'only' $1m off might only allow you to 'save', say 8-12(?) jobs, but... that's 8-12 people, some with families

Shameless plug, but I help maintain Cortex, and "software engineering focused tools that solve (ML) issues" is a neat summary of our entire philosophy. For example, instead of notebooks, our model serving platform (https://github.com/cortexlabs/cortex) uses YAML to structure deployments, and Python scripts to write inference APIs.

It's still inextricably linked to Python, but only for writing your API. It's agnostic as to how the model itself is developed, so long as it can generate predictions.

I would have agreed to your statement until around now-ish when this entire discussion-tree got flagged, including my mostly factual root-comment.

I see in-app purchases and subscription models as quite different from micropayments. Micropayments would mean something like Spotify - you pay some amount up front, and the company pays artists a tiny amount for each time someone listens to their work.

A quick search suggests that that amount is on average less than half a US cent per play on Spotify, and similar services range from about 1/10 to 2 cents per play. It's not a system that the artists are very happy with.

This reminded me a quote from Douglas Adams’ Hitch Hiker guide to the Galaxy:

“For instance, on the planet Earth, man had always assumed that he was more intelligent than dolphins because he had achieved so much—the wheel, New York, wars and so on—whilst all the dolphins had ever done was muck about in the water having a good time. But conversely, the dolphins had always believed that they were far more intelligent than man—for precisely the same reasons.”
Haha, I got to the 1. point on the list and I can already say that I tried :D I had a couple calls with my manager about that :/

If you're going to pick nits at least use the full definition. For a shorthand it was accurate enough, and in popular usage the assumption is not that it is incorrect but that the facts as known do not support the outrageous claims made by the believers in these theories.

Yes indeed it is one of the top performers. But I feel need more real-life examples of companies and systems using it.

Hope it generates some interest among programming community to also look at modern C++ as viable web development platform.

The translation of that key to a memory location should be very straightforward. A few bitwise operations to extract the necessary pieces from the handle, a multiplication of the index, an addition to the private base pointer and there you go. Nothing fancy or CPU-expensive.
With the quality of content on MDN and detail, I can't imagine how much time is spent working on it from all sorts of angles. It's probably a full time job.
The fact all you talked about was the work and not yourself, you are living to work. You're taking work home with you. You probably think about work while showering and brushing your teeth.

Stop.

What are your work hours? 9am to 5pm? You stop thinking about work at 5:01pm. You need to do things you enjoy, outside of work that are not work related. Ideally, not computer related. You are supposed to work so you can live a more fulfilled life doing other things. Not live so you can grind away for someone else to profit off of you. Dont get it twisted. You work for money. You're not going to make a world a better place with what you're doing. That's not a hit on you. It's just you need to not believe in some illusion about programming making the world a better place. Go join Doctors Without Borders, as an example, if you want to do that.

Burnout sucks and I lost 2 years of my life due to it. Dont let this get any worse.

Typical programmer, wholeheartedly believing they can build a something in an afternoon and be done with it. I don't care how well you scoped the project -- it almost always takes longer. It's naive and all this does is cost businesses time and money. It's usually much more economical to go with a third-party than to build everything in-house, which needs to account for the costs of new-feature dev and long-term maintenance. I have an entire business running on that premise.
This is a good point. I am just not a huge fan of the vague mission statement.
This sounds great, I added support for signing git commit's in git2-rs and would be happy to try to do something similar in gitoxide if I start to use it.

> This brings us to the core point I’d like to make: the culture of volunteering in web development, and especially within the Mozilla segments of our community. To my mind it’s not only outdated and should be replaced, it should never have been allowed to take root in the first place

Never 'been allowed'? By whom?

This 'cult of the free' is also historically how software development was done long before the web ever existed - the 'cult of not free' arising from the PC era is the one encroaching on open software, and it's attendant software profit incentive is largely what created the need to document for-profit browser incompatibilities which the author is complaining needs commercial support..
So, "significant market share in some markets" for KaiOS, given it has 10% the global numbers and is basically not present in EU and US?

Basing this off a few very interesting people I've interacted with in the Information Security field wrt Healthcare) as coop student then some contract work.

Usually they tended to be either Law or Infosec folks who ended up in roles where they did consulting or setting up policies for companies. Then with experience becoming SMEs with regards to Privacy and either operating as independent consultants or working with governments/companies as Privacy officers/commissioners etc...

As far as I know most of them didn't have much in common as far as certs or specific educational background it was mostly a mix of similar work experiences as well as being in the same conference circuits.

Someone with more experience should probably address this :)

You are missing the point. The theory that the NSA was hovering up everything in sight was just a theory. We did not have proof one way or the other, and quite a bit of circumstantial evidence to conclude that it was in fact happening.

At that stage it was 'just a theory', with little support.

That some people then went a step further and mislabeled it is mostly their problem, they should have realized that the standard of proof required to shift it one way or the other wasn't available. Snowden gave us that proof.

Your average conspiracy theory is trying to make claims that go against available evidence to try to come up with some kind of alternate history of what must be true. Typically these involve privileged knowledge, powerful people and internally inconsistent claims.

The NSA could be listening in on a lot more than they are letting on theory never had any of those problems.

That is the alternative I'd also be glad to see, I only mention GitHub because it seems to be their goal to fund and maintain open source projects that are vital, like NPM, in this case MDN is definitely vital. Although I'd expect if anybody were to buy out MDN that they create a foundation for it and donate to that foundation in an effort to make it as independent as possible. I guess MDN can someday stand for MDN Developer Network if we're lucky.

Do you used the current date/time and/or Math.random() to generate your random URLs client-side?

I left Google's indexing system 10 years ago, but back then, I made some inelegant workarounds to prevent these features from breaking duplicate page detection. I'm nearly certain the code I wrote has all been replaced with something Chrome-based, but I'm just trying to think of things that could trip up page analysis.

I could see how very rare patterns that are typically used to intentionally trip up page analysis might put your pages on some bad actor list. I really have very little idea how these auto-detection systems are implemented, and these are wild guesses, but they're hopefully better than nothing.
Julia is positioned well to be a powerful high performance language in a niche market, that of scientific simulation, due to is reliance on long running. It also doesn't consistently match C benchmarks last I checked, "only" getting within a factor of 2 or 3. For a pythonlike language its very impressive and powerful, but its main competitive power is as a higher performance replacement for Matlab or mathy python.
One reason is that it makes the enterprise more resilient, and that is valuable in many industries.

Systematic inventive thinking: the power of thinking inside the box
Normally I agree that press releases way oversell the research, but I don't think that was the case here. Their camelid nanobody approach seems to be a fairly novel idea with some nice benefits over traditional antibodies, and most of the linked article actually does a nice job of walking you through the figures in the preprint.

Sure there's not any clinical data, but they actively admit that and I'm sure that's something they're working on. Furthermore, there have been multiple Nature papers published on SARS-CoV-2 neutralizing antibodies and antibody cocktails that use the same experiments (e.g. Vero cells) without testing in animal models or in humans. One step at a time!
I don't think this is true and if you a tendency to form calcifications an excess of vitamin D might be a bad idea.
I think it is actually the other way around. We technically minded people are mostly the tastemakers on this kind of topics.

I know a lot of "normal" people using Firefox with privacy add-ons, mostly because someone knowledgeable told them to. I have often seen these people very receptive when I tell them why I deem Firefox a better Choice then Chrome.

I do however see no way to convince my coworkers to switch. And look at hacker news threads on this topic. It's always some variation of "I don't like google collecting everything I do but Mozilla did this one thing once so I can never ever use Firefox!"

So if we, the people who are supposed to be in the know don't recommend it, why would anyone who is not in the know want to use it?

As far as I know, there's only one nanobody-based drug on the market today, caplacizumab, and it isn't administered through aerosols, but rather subcutaneously.

I know Ablynx was working on an inhaled one as a treatment for RSV, but I don't think it made it to the market (yet). This noveldelivery method probably needs lots of scrutiny from regulators before it can enter the market.
Its gradually typed, and compiles down to typed code with LLVM on first run. So after a warmup (which can be cached) its effectively static for purposes of performance.

But that depends a lot on whether or not the outage is actually temporary. From the sound of this article, it doesn't sound like it is.

Sure, Techdirt is hedging its bets and saying it might turn Google Ads back on eventually. But the account issues they're talking about aren't going to go away; there's nobody you can yell at with Google to make their moderation suddenly better.

I still want to push the idea that if you're diversifying your income, you should actually diversify it, not just have multiple accounts in the same field. There are independent issues that might effect one ad network and not another, sure. Those independent issues also won't affect podcast ads or product sponsorships.

In other words, redundancy != diversity.

Not to say redundancy is useless, of course. But it really doesn't sound like redundancy is Techdirt's problem here, it sounds like they're disillusioned with page ads in general.

Odds are that you forgot to record the timezone at all, and it didn't matter until you already have users in different timezones who have saved data and they don't remember which timezone they saved everything in.

If you record the timezone you can convert. Even then, it is easier to use UTC just because everyone else does and so you can feed UTC into any third party library and it will work.
I also think this is so important and so often improperly addressed in various articles about 'how kids should be taught'. I think most of us who founds 'groups' growing up can relate to this. There is almost an inevitable tendency as well for some form of contrarian group to form, perhaps it's some kind of law of social evolution that some percentage of any assembly of people will not conform and create groups around themselves which will go against the grain. No matter how good your intentions are.

We use a variation of this "four squares" game at Sparkademy. The four squares of randomized point values (there's a pattern to it, but I don't want to give it away here.) The goal is to maximize your score which involves switching between exploring for a better payoff and exploiting what you think is the highest paying square over a large number of trials. We use it to as part of a criteria to identify if a person might be well suited for our innovation online course, and later be able to apply that knowledge in their company.
