I've always had this idea that you could do a dumb version of annealing by just progressively increasing the size of samples used in the minibatches. SGD gives you noise on the gradient which should get smaller as you increase the batch size. If you just adjusted the batch size with some sort of MH accept/reject logic you should get a better optimzer for mode seeking than just vanilla SGD. Like all my ideas though it has probably been thought before or is just wrong :) too damn lazy to try it as well.

Are you referring to smoking specifically? Edibles with THC content as low as 1mg are readily available at shops, which make it very easy to control a precise dose, so perhaps I'm misunderstanding.

One could also eat half of a 1mg edible, which provides even more precision dosage.
Is this really all that groundbreaking? I had a teammate in highschool remark that you could pinpoint in his grades the times when he started/stopped smoking weed.
I like this dialogue, because my first hypothesis (Which I didn’t want to encumber the original post with) was that , given the high base percent of users (85% or so and above), it seemed use would likely not be correlated with less social interaction, but that lack of use might be. Peer pressure doesn’t work without peers, as a DARE officer would probably say.

Maybe there are introverted individuals or closed-group social circles that are just performing better, one descriptor of those groups being the lack of substance use (Or use of a more limited set of substances, like alcohol only).

Irrespective, I think these types of questions are more useful in helping kids grow up intelligent than this study is (If we assume their focus on measuring intellect references is actually out of concern for how well students are doing)
Normally the low power gpu is the integrated Intel one that's on all their consumer chips, so it's more adding one gpu than slapping in competing ones. Although it does cause driver issues anyway, hence the thread.

Sure, this seems obvious with respect to my own experience with it, personally. But the question I really want to know the answer to is if I've been totally sober for over 24 - 48 hours, is my performance still below baseline? What about a week or a month without it?

If it were theoretically somehow proven I was still experiencing a negative effect despite cessation for over a week, that would be enough for me to rarely or never use it again. As far as I know, there isn't any convincing evidence of that, but if there ever was, I'd definitely want to know about it.

It isn't anywhere near obsolete, not as far as I've seen in both scientific and medical contexts. BMI remains heavily used in many nutritional and disease related studies and remains a common metric in healthcare and public heath.

It's imperfect, but generally correct. More importantly, it's easy to measure. Accurate except for outliers isn't as much of an issue as you think it is, especially as these are generally already accounted for by its users.
That's clever! Nice job!

A Law Professor Explains Why You Should Never Talk to Police https://www.vice.com/en_us/article/mvkgnp/law-professor-poli...

Field Application Engineer or Solutions Architect are excellent transitional roles to other things. You get to work with customers, a variety of customers. Then you arent stuck being with the one customer (whatever product company you are working for). Variety is good.

If you work with a range of external customers, opens more avenues for escape, also. Pure development is pretty tedious, you are treated like a cog.

Not enough people talk about how much software engineering actually can suck. I couldn't stand having a "SCRUM MASTER" breathing down my neck, demanding timelines for every bug, dragging and dropping tasks on me.

As someone who recently oversaw the transition from Zuora + Authorize.net to Stripe for a business in the eight figure a year range, can confirm.

There is an undeniable benefit to the economy, culture, general education level, ability to get things done, and overall 'coolness' of a country to have people like Daniel in it. If we're lucky he'd want to immigrate, and he'd get to vote. The US could SORELY use more tech savvy people in the electorate.
Also, make no mistake, it IS a competition. Nations rise and fall on their ability to create, retain, and attract skilled and intelligent citizens.

> Try to find how the media covered the claimed "weapons of mass destruction" in Iraq in 2003, and how they wrote many years later about the same events. What you believe to be a "first draft" was historically completely false. But it was at the time used as an excuse to start the war, which are both now verified historical facts -- both the fake "news" in the major media and the start of the war.

Really? My memory is that the media reports made it very clear that the "weapons of mass destruction" narrative was false; that was what the whole David Kelly affair was about.

The problem is that the advertising way is "cheating" in the sense that its victims are not aware they're being exploited; otherwise this article wouldn't have been written and the proposed UI change (which aims to shine light on what the advertising industry is doing with your personal data) wouldn't cause such an uproar.

There are areas where a totally "free market" doesn't work in the long-term benefit of society and regulation typically steps in. This is why for example health and safety is a thing (even though not caring about that would make businesses more profitable) or that in most civilized countries you are not allowed to dump toxic waste in the river even though it's cheaper than paying to have it recycled.
Yes, but the effect is magnified if they're in your country. You would collect local taxes, and the majority of money spent would circulate inside the economy, rather leaving.
Wow, thank you for the kind message!

I did not know about Ecto. It is interesting, but I think more abstract than what I would like kiss-orm to become.

About the ChangeSet stuff, from what I understood it is actually already possible in kiss-orm. The main difference being that I decided to not do the validation at runtime, but rely on typescript.

At worst you could have a runtime SQL error (inserting the wrong type of data in the wrong column for example), but the queries would be safe from injection.

You can definitely keep using kiss-orm with the default `any` type for the insert and update operation, but you can also specify it: https://github.com/Seb-C/kiss-orm#advanced-typings
This way, your typings have to be right to use those methods. Runtime validation of inputs should not be done in the repository/database/orm layer anyway :) .
Probably because what happens on a single city street or block isn't reflective of the thousands of other streets and blocks in the city and the dozens of people involved aren't reflective of the thousands upon thousands who are peaceful and justifiably angry about the current state of policing in the USA.
It decouples innovations between car and battery technology.

Car manufacturers will only innovate batteries to the extent that fits their pricing and performance models.

With the decoupling, the market for batteries will expand and different types of batteries for different performance / technologies will come into picture. But by making it legal to sell cars without batteries, it obliges car manufacturers to come up with data, certifications, technology transfer systems, etc to legally allow battery manufacturers to support their cars. This reduces a lot of paperwork and other red tape. For example, insurance. If you buy a car and change it's battery, your insurance provider may object for coverage or charge you extra for after market modifications.

So, while the user has to buy the battery, he will have more choice.

Also, new battery technology and new battery companies can grow with more ease.

There are some downsides to this approach. Many vehicle dynamics and safety tests are conducted for the vehicle as a whole. So it has to be seen how those issues are addressed. However, since the location of the battery, in a given vehicle is fixed, I think coming up with a framework of certifications or standardized parameters for battery physicals should be easy.

I think this law is primarily aimed at taxis and auto-rickshaws in many urban areas. Most of India's middle class still drives bikes and scooters. However, there are many taxis and autos. And these are usually very polluting. Shifting to an EV is usually more cost effective for the driver. The cost per kilometer of travel is lesser in EVs.
This multi-api indeed seems similar to the sequence function.

If you can try-catch the failure in the external service, you can rollback the transaction with kiss-orm. Actually kiss-orm does not abstract the transaction itself, so you can do whatever you want.

I just realized a flaw in my current implementation, which is that directly using the repository CRUD methods from inside the sequence (rather than a query) function would execute those operations outside the scope of the sequence.

Isn't this the kind of misleading title that should lead to folks flagging the post? That's what I did. I feel the title (in addition to containing a typo) is intentionally misleading, omits key info (the fact that the paper is about adolescents only), and exaggerates other info.

For me, that's a flag. If I'm using flagging wrong, someone should tell me. :)

I don't think Google sees itself as an opponent of Trump, but Trump certainly acts as if Google is an opponent (cf. https://twitter.com/search?q=from:realdonaldtrump+google), and that's what matters here. I don't think it particularly matters whether Google really is an opponent of Trump, either.

(My personal opinion is that Google is much less of an opponent than Trump claims, but also, since politics is not a dirty word and the existence of a giant multinational corporation is inherently political even if it weren't for all the things that make Google Google, it would be entirely reasonable for Google to choose to be more of an opponent than they are - and it still would not make me feel like selective enforcement of the laws is justifiable.)
Chernobyl was an ancient design that didn't have many safeguards. This one had safety built in from the start, and it's smol and can be contained easily.
I sort of wonder if private train companies in the US would achieve the sort of interconnection we have in Tokyo. The train station nearest to my house is owned by one company, but after going East two stops the stations and rails are all owned by another company. The station that's part of both of these companies' lines is also a major transfer station to a major line owned by a third company.

As a user of transit I mostly don't have to care about this, but I ended up calling three companies when I lost something on the way home.

Two years later my "weekend" project is complete. A client for HN optimized for reading comments on mobile with a spotty connection.

Source: https://github.com/byronwall/hn-client

This Show HN in the app (how meta): https://hn.byroni.us/story/24371278

Features:

Optimized for lurking. No ability to login, comment, or do anything other than read comments and follow links.

Three main views for accessing stories: front page, day, and week. Each view provides 50 stories. Infinite scroll is intentionally avoided.

When loading a list of stories, all comments are loaded for all stories. Experience says loading all 3 pages will require around 15MB of local storage.

App locally stores HN pages that have been visited to grey them out on the main page.

No logging, analytics or other tracking on the server.

Optimized for mobile including `code` blocks which normally look awful.

Any links to other HN articles are automatically loaded in the app.

While reading comment threads, a pleasant UX is provided to collapse threads and store collapse state.

In India, the most common vehicles are not cars, but mopeds/scooters. Unlike cars it is perfectly feasible to have battery swapping as your main/only form of refueling, and have the customers subscribe to your battery swap infrastructure instead of buying the battery. Its far more convenient for customers since you never need to wait to charge your vehicle, and you don't need to worry about having charging stations near your work or at home. This is precisely what gogoro, the most popular e-scooter company in Taiwan does.

Almost all of these sorts of behavioural issues (with the exception of the food-motivated ones) tend to disappear when you allow your cat the freedom to go outside whenever it wants. They're not well suited to confinement and it always shows in their behavior. Sometimes they just get depressed and mopey, which a lot of people interpret as their cat "not minding" its confinement. Other times they try to relieve the soul-crushing boredom of their lives by knocking things over, yelling, or actively messing with you. Sure, you can "train" your cat not to engage in these behaviors (as other commenters note, however, they're smart enough to realize you're not always watching them) or you could just allow them access to the far more compelling activities that exist outdoors. They'll even choose to do mundane stuff (lie in the sun, poop) outdoors nine times out of ten. They just prefer being out.

Reading some of the things people in this thread do to their cats made me sad, especially the people talking about techniques for preventing their cats from getting out the front door.[0] If you would never treat a human the way you treat your cat on a regular basis, that should give you pause. If it's "for their own good" you made a selfish choice in pet ownership.

[0] An airlock system where the cat is required to sit perfectly still before you open the door? Don't they do similar stuff in actual prisons?

This statement is ignorant at best. What looks like a sound business decision, one which opens up the market for more competition, you are twisting it as a politically motivated corrupt move.

By the logic you are stating, any business or market friendly move by any government will have to be targeted at specific individuals or families.

I really want to understand why there will not be any competition or open interface.

The car company decides the interface. If a rival chooses to create an open interface, and reap the benefits, market forces will ensure that all manufacturers do the same.

Moreover, the number of car manufacturers are limited, but the number of battery companies can expand a lot. Perhaps lead way to investments from overseas.

Imagine Tesla being able to open a battery factory in India, and just sell batteries, without worrying about cars and all.

I used to live in a building that had an electric furnace in each unit. The air conditioning coils were connected to a condenser shared with the building; the size of the piping led me to believe it might be pushing chilled water (vs. refrigerant) to each unit. No crappy boxes hanging outside, individual per-unit control inside.
Perhaps, but we don't have reliable data on that. The population of people with high muscle mass is small to begin with and thus hard to study. And the use of anabolic steroids and other PEDs is common in that group, which may be a larger factor in heart disease risk than muscle mass by itself.

That's a good point, but also, given that "and Facebook and Amazon" are often Trump's next words after "Google," it doesn't do much to convince me that this isn't politically-motivated selective enforcement. (Though, on the other other hand, I'm not sure what big tech companies Trump isn't mad at, so maybe this is a low-selectivity filter.)
