Well, people can explain their low ratings. "A real page turner but the paperback printing and binding were awful." The problem is that, if you rate at the SKU level, you now have different reviews for every size and color of shirt. "The green color isn't at all like what was on the product page."

The reality is that for most books (pretty much all fiction, most trade paperbacks without a lot of illustrations/code/etc.), Kindle format is just fine even on a e-paper reader.

The link is not to the paper itself but to a response to the paper, this might be (is probably?) intentional but the title is a bit confusing.

Essentially the response, submitted by several ML / CS / math researchers, addresses a note in the paper which recommends against train/test split in model training, calling it "inefficient". The response is dedicated to explaining what generalization error is and why estimating it is important, and how that's basically impossible without any sort of train/test split or cross-validation.

This so many times. This has been my journey to becoming a competent manager in the past year. What’s helped is framing it as: if I was someone’s manager after a year have they grown more or less than if I wasn’t there. We grow through being challenged and trying on new responsibilities. Delegating running meetings, scoping larger amounts of work, giving presentations— whatever. If you do all these things yourself you’re both making more work for yourself and keeping growth opportunities from your reports. The positive feedback loop is your team gets more done AND when you see someone go from struggling to crushing it at something you used to do it’s incredibly rewarding.

Another lesson hard learned was realizing it’s not my job to do everything like an IC. And especially not my job to personally fix all people problems. I’m merely just here to guide and coax along the right path. And give lots of specific feedback on what’s good and what’s not so good.

A hope maybe this helps the grandparent poster. Your post resonates heavily with where I was at a year or two ago. Being a manager ain’t easy. I’d argue much more so if you were a really strong IC.

I suppose it depends on how specialized or 'heavy' your needs are. I suspect that for a decent portion of web applications, Phoenix might last you longer than others before you would need to dive into the nitty gritty in either language.

In my use case, most of my work is rather straightforward web apps. When using Rails I have occasionally run into issues where I had to tweak things or dive a bit deeper. With Phoenix these same projects would've been fine for a while longer.

Of course, when you do need to dive in, perhaps an advantage of Rails/Django/Laravel/etc. is that the ecosystem is larger, so your problem might be solved without having to really figure out more.

As I stated, my goal was not to say something like "you look ugly", and I did not want to pretend that he is a "junior developer".

What I said is that from his comments, and based on my personal experience, I think that we are in a case of an "expert beginner" as described by this blog:

https://daedtech.com/how-developers-stop-learning-rise-of-th...

The meaning of that is probably better explained in the blog post than by me here. But if I would try to summarize the idea, it is like some people that think that they are the smartest devs because they create "code generators" and some very complex code/machinery, when in fact the problem is their useless complexity, and that a good dev would do something a lot simpler.

If we look at the "import " case, this guy is pretending that he knows better; that it is a "better/cleaner way" to do python code.
But, saying that, he contradicts the very large experience of a lot of really experienced devs and even the spirit of the Python language.

Microwaving frozen bread slices for 30-60 seconds (depends on how much bread and how powerful your microwave is) works like a charm too.
The basic set of ideas here are as follows:

1) The Sun is a very strong gravity well.

2) Light rays (in this case, from distant regions of space) are bent around strong gravitational wells, that is, gravity curves space-time around it, as Einstein pointed out.

3) Mankind, at this point in our history, is capable of launching satellites/space-probes -- that can carry long-range light detection equipment, and these satellites/space-probes can be positioned in certain positions and at certain distances from the sun such that faint light from distant galaxies can be detected at some distance from the edge of the sun (the sun's light, if it should interfere, is blocked or filtered out, and/or subtracted from the data via advanced machine learning algorithms...)

4) The data gathered should be able to be re-assembled into images showing what exists at great distances in space.

5) Net effect, if it works, is that a "virtual telescope" is created, whose mirror/lens -- is many millions, if not billions of times larger than the largest mirror/lens on the largest space telescope in orbit today...

In other words, that's one heck of a telescope (!) for studying distant galaxies -- if it could be made to work...

I think this is not entirely true. In areas where experimentation feedback is fast (and experiments are probably cheaper to run), the problem is much more accurately and sample efficiently solved by Thompson Sampling [1,2] which in fact dictates you to have a broad enough prior over the solution space and then let the posterior dictate your conclusions.

LSD was discovered and initially manufactured by Sandoz labs, now owned by Novartis.

And honestly, I'd be interested in trying it. Particularly as the side effects of "no lasting harm" and "sense of well being that lasts long after the experience" started to come out.
The problem is that such effects generally don't end up working out. Despite China's world-leading information suppression efforts, there was a panic and millions of people did flee Wuhan before the lockdown. I can't quite take a hard line and say censorship never achieves good results, but much more often it's just an attempt by authorities to seize the illusion of control.

The problem with your proposal is that your methodology is a false approach. Freedom of thought (and it’s close corollary, freedom of speech) is foundational to all inquiry — if I must adhere to some idea, I’m not free to think, and if I’m not free to think, then philosophy (inquiry) can’t exist. So we know that censorship is wrong as a matter of principle, and we don’t need any extra data beyond the a priori arguments of the type above.

>I'm just curious as to how replacing a battery doesn't fall under right to repair. It's probably one of the simplest 'repairs' you can make to a battery powered device.

I think the GP is making an important distinction in the technical aspects of the law in order to ensure that this legalislation doesn't create an undue burden on manufacturers and the government that would get this bill killed easily.

What does it mean for the government to regulate that a device must have a user replaceable battery? Does that mean the device must use phillips head? A clip on pack? What about the battery? Does the battery size have to be standardized? Must it use AA batteries? Any of these will make our current devices inoperable. Likewise if we just take the standards today and encode them into law, we could be crippling devices in the future. I don't think it's a pedantic point - when you say "replaceable", it also means by ""whom"? You the user? You can't assume everyone is as technically sound as you - if grandma can't replace her battery then does the manufacturer fall into hot water?

Next, why stop at the battery? Almost every device has some sort of radio that if rendered inoperable would brick the device, just like a battery. Does this bill now mean that the radio of every device now has to be user replaceable? Standardized? Modular? It's easy to see how such a bill is must more hairer than a law that just says "Provide documentation, and don't add legal restrictions on repair".

Of course. You'll have to adjust for the Doppler shift (about 7kHz swing during a pass IIRC), and depending on your antenna design you might have to do precise tracking during the pass.

There are also sub-sports such as QRP that tries to perform communication using very low power levels, which makes everything much more challenging, including the already slightly tricky contact with the ISS. I believe the current QRP record is 1.6 billion miles-per-watt, with 1 microwatt making it from Oregon to Alaska (1650 miles).
> What you have written is in fact a circular argument that confirms what I wrote about value.

It is not a circular argument, it is a connection between cause and distal effect.

I'm not sure what to make of this statement.

> So when the Aussies get their tax system, they must have asked for it. Why? Because they got it.

This is a misrepresentation. By demanding a more just system of taxation, they asked for laws, which ask for bureaucracy, which ask for labor resources, which consume tax revenue. All of these are logical implications, there is no circularity at all.

Similarly, if I ask you to serve me a hamburger, there's the implication that someone somewhere has slaughtered an innocent cow. I don't want the innocent cow slaughtered, I just want to eat the hamburger. Yet, it would be fair to say that I asked for the cow to be slaughtered.

> This is an absurdity.

Not at all. Usually there's a plausible rational explanation for why things had to end up the way they did, but such explanations might be uncomfortable.

> Have you ever complained about the proliferation of utterly terrible reality TV shows?

I don't watch TV.

> Very few people think it's anything but mindless garbage. But it's there, so it must be wanted, because it's there.

Very few people think McDonald's serves good food, yet a lot of people buy it. Similarly, nobody would continue to spend money to produce more and more TV shows that nobody wants to watch. Being "mindless garbage" clearly isn't an impediment to success with the right audience. Consider the pareto principle.

> Plenty of other examples in society of things that exist but nobody appreciates them.

Just because it isn't "appreciated" doesn't mean there isn't demand for it.

> Anyway, been reading Mazzucato recently.

Doesn't seem to have done you any good.
I don't think your explanations are really in conflict. His point is that cowardice keeps third parties from intervening and then ego defense in the face of their own cowardice gets them to denigrate the victim. Yours is that it's just sociopathic indifference. But people do feel guilt at their inaction and they do blame the victims. And most likely David Graeber would have agreed that people are more likely to step in to defend people closer to them -- kin, friends, members of their religion or ethnic group. So apathy does have a role to play in his model as well. If you have a lot of apathy you need little cowardice + projection to preserve bullying. If you don't, you need more.

Another neglected factor is how convincingly one can tell oneself preventing the bullying is somebody else's responsibility. If the crowd of witnesses is large or there is someone else nominally in charge, you can have empathy and inaction without any recourse to victim blaming or other self-deceptions.

Unless it is thickly sliced you might not even need to heat it up in the oven/toaster. Just letting it thaw on the counter might work. For the slightly thin wheat bread I use for sandwiches, putting a couple slices on the counter for 10 minutes or so does the trick.

If I know I'm going to make a sandwich later, but am not sure when, I take the slices out in the morning and leave the on the counter covered with a towel. At first I didn't cover them, but by around lunch time they would just be starting to get a little stale. Covered with the towel, they are fine all day.
> And as that blog post mentions, it recommends using ETS but Google says ETS isn't distributed. So now suddenly you're stuck only being able to work with 1 machine.

There is a mostly API-compatible distributed version of ETS in OTP, called DETS. And a higher-level distributed database built on top of ETS/DETS called Mnesia, again, in OTP. So, no, you aren't.

> I know you can do distributed state in Elixir too, but it doesn't seem as easy as it is in other languages. And it's especially more complicated / less pragmatic than other tech stacks because almost every other tech stack all use the same tools to share external state so it's a super documented and well thought out problem.

You can use the same external tools in Elixir as on platforms that don't have a full distributed database built in as it is in the OTP, so, I don't see how the fact that those external tools are widely used on other platforms makes Elixir harder.

I store my bread in the fridge and never heat it up. I just make a sandwich and eat it as is.
Another way to hack around this is to use notes. Before I leave for the day, and especially for the weekend, I write 4-5 sentences about what I want to work on next. Makes it easy to put things down after work and easy to pick them up again. Also, I think it was GTD that said part of the point of having a next actions list is that it’s on paper and not in your brain.

The continent of North America, with a population of 579 millions, has by my reckoning 672 billionaires.

Africa with a population of 1,216 millions has ... about 20 as you state (my tally from Wikipedia is 18, but I'll take the higher number).

By billions of population, that works out to 1,160/billion North America, and 16.4/billion for Africa.

It would seems odds might somewhat favour one born (or living in) North America. By a factor of roughly 70.

One might similarly compare Germany and India, with roughly similar counts of billionaires at 107 and 102, respectively, though slighly differing populations: 83 millions vs. 1.3 billions. The rate per billion works out to 1,289/billion for Germany and 75/billion for India, differing by a factor of 17.
