Well, Marissa Mayer is quite preachy about working long hours and sleeping poorly. She always had important roles in big companies, but he managed Yahoo quite poorly. So she fits the narrative ("no sleep -> CEO"), but that doesn't mean that you will be CEOing correctly.

I'm sure there are other good CEOs that sleep 8 or more hours, but they don't talk about it. I hide the fact that I like to sleep at least 8 hours (but 9 would be my optimal), because sleeping 6 hours or less is a medal in my workplace.

I only know of Basecamp CEOs that take the opposite stance: they admit to sleep at least 8 hours, take long vacations, having cool hobbies and healthy families, working 40ish hours per week... while keeping their bussiness running happily on profits for 17 years in a row. And boy did they receive criticism for saying it out loud. Nonsense like "if you worked harder and slept less, your bussiness would be billionaire instead of millionaire".

The bit you haven't understood is that teacher predicted grades were reassessed by the algorithm unless the class sizes were 5 children or fewer. This meant that the predicted grades that were not adjusted by the algo were overwhelmingly at independent fee-paying schools.

XcodeGhost wasn’t an attack like this. That was a compromised version of Xcode. This doesn’t require a compromised version of Xcode; it infects Xcode projects. To perhaps put it into more familiar terms, this is as if a malicious Makefile goes around rewriting other Makefiles to include itself.
Sorry about that, GDrive's permissions UI sometimes confuses me. Should work now!
Disagree on lack of severity; this is the kind of thing that calls into question any signed MSI I've downloaded over non-TLS HTTP or even over HTTPS served from a possibly-downgrade-attacked HTTP→HTTPS redirect.

e: or any signed MSI from a compromised system, like happened to Palemoon last year: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=20435699

If you are ever interested in the topic of RL, but wish to start learning the concepts on simpler algorithms and keep the "deep" part for later, I maintain a library that has most of the same design goals:

https://github.com/Svalorzen/AI-Toolbox

Each algorithm is extensively commented, self-contained (aside from general utilities), and the interfaces are as similar as I could make them be. One of my goals is specifically to help people try out simple algorithms so they can inspect and understand what is happening, before trying out more powerful but less transparent algorithms.

I'd be happy to receive feedback on accessibility, presentation, docs or even more algorithms that you'd like to see implemented (or even general questions on how things work).
So Google will either pay up, or exit Australia long enough until the law gets overturned - whichever is cheaper. For massive companies like Google, presenting them with silly fines and taxes is like a truck finding a little speed bump.

Yes, from I've read it's definitely the issue of soil. The island was completely deforested a long time ago and the unprotected soil has completely eroded since then (the same thing also happened in Scotland and Sicily ?). There are some recent initiatives to reforest Iceland, but it will understandably take many decades to repair the damage.
It’s worth noting that, while the ACCC did recommend “requiring designated digital platforms to each provide the Australian Communications and Media Authority with codes to address the imbalance in the bargaining relationship between these platforms and news media businesses and recognise the need for value sharing and monetisation of content” [1], the “mandatory bargaining code” policy resulted from a more recent and specific direction from the government [2].

While you're right they edited the embryos the sentence you quoted is describing a drug (680C91) that they bath-applied to inhibit the TDO enzyme (as a positive control), rather than the CRISPR strategy they used, in which they injected the Cas9 and sgRNA into the embryo.
The article seems to be too obvious, maybe I am missing some bits of info here.

After I read "why we sleep" all these: "sleep faster", "you need 8 hours", "I wake up at 4am" seems ridiculous to me. It's all depends, try to sleep 8 hours and if 6h works for you - lucky you, if 4am works for you - lucky you, if you need 7h or 10h - good, stick to it and adjust your schedule.
Despite all the articles on how bad "why we sleep" is, it helped me a lot, at least with basics, that's all I need due to lack of ambition to get a PhD in why people sleep.

I tried everything, slept 10h, 8h, 6h, mix(night/day) and there always was only one thing that worked for me: wake up without alarm in the "late morning". No matter how hard I try, morning is just not for me, I fought with it for too many years and the war is over, my sleep always wins. Evening works best for me, no matter of what people try to convince or adjust me to.

TL;DR try what works for you and don't try to adjust with others.

Ask HN: Examples of good technical design docs
As part of an interview process, I have recently received a take home assignment of writing a technical design doc for a simple web app. Turns out I badly suck at it.

I have found resources describing the templates, the "hows" and "whys" of TDD, but I struggle to find some actual, real-life examples.

Can you recommend any good technical design docs? Or any other resource that would make you better at writing such documents?
I enormously appreciate the resources OpenAI provides to start out in DRL such as this one. However, OpenAI has (purposely?) left out the brittleness of their algorithms to parameter choice and code-level optimizations [1] in the past. As a researcher myself, I would be more than surprised to hear that OpenAI did not explore this behaviour themselves. Instead, my guess would be that these "inconveniences" would do harm to the Marketing of OpenAI and its algos. Such deeds are far more harmful to proper understanding of DRL and applications than a nice UI is beneficial imo.

Cool. That video of the bouncing atoms demo is fascinating.

It seems like a revisiting of the experience of the Self team between the second and third generation of Self VMs[1], though the underlying hardware might be just a little faster :) Do you think this tradeoff of peak performance vs interactivity is inherent in Tuffle's approach? Or can Truffle realistically aim for the best of both worlds?

One interesting aspect of the Self VM is that it can save the JIT generated native machine code together with the Self code in the image/snapshot, so that you can load a pre-warmed set of objects. Is that possible within the Truffle framework?

"Accelerated Mobile Pages" should not be showing up on desktop at all. If they do, that's poor coding by the website itself. Just like how you often get stuck on website's mobile version when browsing on desktop.

> it’s completely broken

That's a pretty big statement, could you specify in which way it is "completely broken"?

> friction increasing to grab a link

This has been mostly fixed, I haven't had an issue in the past year. On Chrome and Firefox I believe, it works natively, and in other browsers I believe it adds an extra bar at the top to grab the link.

> Not only that but it seems the page slightly degrades sometimes.

Quite the opposite, in my experience it's often a far simpler and focused page with less crap. The only slight disadvantage is that comment sections on articles are often disabled, but they are usually a click away. It makes sense anyways to not load those by default on mobile.

> A theoretical page load time improvement?

It's definitely not theoretical. It's also a way to bundle websites allowing easier edge caching which helps tremendously.

> we already have “request desktop mode”

Partly because the majority of websites never gave a shit about optimizing their mobile experience without an incentive.

> seemingly even worse?

I truly believe this is a case of "assigning downsides you notice to AMP, but upsides being mostly invisible". You wouldn't have anyone to assign it to when you see a mobile page on desktop, but if it's an AMP page, then you have someone to get angry at.

Another example would be how a spam protection could be blocking 99% of the spam, but if a couple bad content get through, you'll think the spam protection is doing absolutely nothing and it sucks, because you don't get to see the 99% of work it's actually doing.
I'll definitely keep a close watch over the next few years! They actually do have a somewhat multi-lingual household already, so he speaks kind of a mix: English for most things, Japanese for words such as breakfast or lunch.

I've been wondering if it would actually hamper his skills to have to learn more than one language at a time, but your experience at least seems to say the opposite.
I highly recommend "Why we sleep" by Matthew Walker. It does a great job describing the science of sleep.

Iran and Venezuela would disagree, or any country the US government has banned from the international banking network. The fact that one country can unilaterally block bank transfers between third parties solidifies the need for non-politically centralized banking.
As someone who grew up in NJ about an hour south of Manhattan, that sounds like a living situation that would make me very unhappy as an adult (don't get me wrong; I had a great childhood). But I have some dear friends who lived in San Jose for several years and then ended up moving back to rural South Jersey, so, clearly, to each their own.

Even the 25min commute from Hoboken would make me sad. I want to be able to walk or take local transit to where I want to hang out.

I don't think anyone's making that claim?
Adding Ruby dependencies (gems) is pretty trivial. And the Ruby package manager (bundler) only installs the new dependency if you do it on your own machine. In Docker it will do all of them.

It's worth noting that bundle uses a Gemfile, so it's not installing each Gem as a seperate step.
Sure, this is a legitimate argument.

But then why wouldn't the money go to fund the AP Press Pool in Canberra which shutdown recently because of lack of funding[1], or to the ABC or SBS or other public journalism?

Instead it goes directly to the big publishers who cut journalists while increasing the salary of people like Andrew Bolt (who is so far removed from a journalist it is objectionable).

That was my first thought as well.

Why else would they leave a known vulnerability unfixed for two years!?

ISTM that someone else found out about the vulnerability out ("... which Microsoft acknowledged was actively being exploited.") -- perhaps after the NSA used it against them? -- so now that the cat is out of the bag and they are at risk of compromise -- they let Microsoft know and get it fixed.
I used to do this too. Then I realized this only works if you actually sleep 7.5 hours and it takes average human 14 minutes to fall asleep. I.e. I’d set an alarm 7:30 from when I go to bed but then still felt tired - doing 8 hours felt better with 7hrs45ish the sweet spot. Hence I can see why people just recommend 8 because normal people don’t try to optimize to the minute and better to slightly over estimate rather than definitely underestimate

Awk is a programming language [1]

Please take the following friendly advice: if you don't know the difference between a 'command line tool' and a 'programming language' - then maybe you don't know what you're talking about. It's ok, if you have some humility, you can improve and overcome.

FYI I'm well aware that systems such as CVS have 'abstractions' that diagrams could possibly help. That said 'diagrams' are relate the the 'inherent abstractions' in many things, and yet they are used very seldom in Stack Exchange.

The fact is - git is quite obviously very complicated, more complicated than it needs to be, and poses risks that most other tools do not.

The bizarre myopia of those not willing to concede that, and the inherent risks is problematic.

It speaks to a specific kind of intellectual arrogance within CompSci and it's a huge blind spot for the profession.

Every git question - even the most mundane - is a rabbit hole:

"What's the difference between Git Pull and Git Fetch?" [2]

That should be easy enough - but no - there is a 35 comments (only one of the many answers) to argue about the specific nature of what is happening, and no full agreement on some material things.

This is all exemplary of a 'bad product'. A 'good product' would provide a definition, and a few comments on possible corner cases - and that's it.

Git is what happens when you take a 'very powerful, but complicated concept' - and then don't manage it as a product, rather, just lazily throw complex command lines on the fire and let it stir. We are wasting a lot of time on Git.

Thank you for actually showing me a sane workflow for sheet development; we build complex software in sheets (because people understand it) but I never really figured how to make the workflow of JS for sheets more efficient. You did; thanks.
That's not really true. I've lived in the Inner Sunset for 2 years, and I've actually noticed an increase in the local homeless population over that time. Obviously not concentrated/encamped in the way they are in the neighborhoods you mention, but still, they're much more present than in equivalent quiet residential neighborhoods I've lived in in NYC or Chicago.
what a gorgeous source-comment. Makes the non-obvious crystal-clear.
Interesting tech, but why not (also) broadcast this information to displays to the side of the road or above it? Much like some other warnings are already displayed on highway signs about black ice, accidents and a whole variety of other hazardous conditions.

Focusing on "smart" cars does come at the detriment of drivers and passengers of older cars who do not receive these warnings, and means that only the drivers and passengers of modern vehicles benefit from these alerts. Even putting aside from the obvious fairness issue of such a system, what good is it if only a fraction of drivers can be reached?

Public safety alerts should not be limited to a limited group of people who could afford the latest tech.

Yeah people love to go on about brain plasticity but few people actually know much about it (for instance how you can re-induce said plasticity in adults), let alone how it relates to language learning as an adult.

>Also, your rebuttal does not consider the fraction of those adults who learned those languages when they were young.

That still includes:

-Pretty much all immigrants

-All populations using a regional lingua franca (Modern Standard Arabic, Swahili, Indonesian, French, English, Russian, Portuguese)

-Everyone who learned English as a requirement for their job (that's everyone in business, research, the tourism industry, the software industry and probably a few others I'm missing)

-Everyone who learned another language as part of their higher education (usually English, but can also include languages like French, German or Russian)

Of course the language acquisition is usually far from perfect. You probably won't get rid of your accent as an adult, and your writing may be rife with mistakes. But as a communication tool, most adults manage just fine, because communication is part of being human and humans are naturally good at communicating.
Perhaps this will keep us on our toes. I tend to find something more believable if it's presented in nice prose (the AI's forte) -- which is really not how I should be evaluating information.
