This is like complaining that when piano teachers teach students how to hold their hands they teach it with scales where it doesn't really matter. The importance of hand position is obvious when you are tasked with playing chords in a real song.

I live in Portland, too. And we do need help. But facial recognition is unreliable. I'd hate to be the one who's misidentified but, overzealous law enforcement keeps insisting it's me. Or, maybe I'm shaking hands with some random person and then facial recognition is used to make it look like we're buddies, and accomplices in some mess he's in.

And I've seen enough unreliable technologies hit the market and marketers don't talk about the flaws or limitations in a responsible way. They highlight when the tech has done something miraculous.

With all of this kind of stuff I ask: what happens when the tech is wrong? Who's accountable? Who makes the victim whole? Too often the answer is nobody is accountable.

Complexity.

https://www.infoq.com/presentations/Simple-Made-Easy/

The goal of class based OOP is extension. When something is extended you then have the original and an extended derivative. What was one is now two, or more. That might be easy, but it certainly is complex. Complexity is to make many.

I prefer simplicity and predictability.
A generic communication transporter for Front-end
Dwell is a very powerful ranking signal in a binary classifier.

Pairwise association of videos watched by the same user consecutively or even just sampled pairs from their last N videos will get you a video embedding.

Pairwise sampling of users who watch the same video to the end will get you a user embedding.

Turking category tags will prime the pump for other types of embeddings.

These things can be ensembles, stacked, force learned jointly, etc.

All of this comes out of the box in Keras (though it’s up to you to feed the data in fast when you’ve got a lot office).

You can argue that getting latent representations/factorizations without explicit “user clicked show me more” is semi-supervised I guess, but if so all the recommender stuff since the Netflix Challenge meets that criteria to one degree or another.
> But in any case, provide some alt text! If it just says "divider", "logo" or "decoration", that is still better than nothing for someone who can't see it at all.

This is a generalisation and one that many screen reader users wouldn't agree with. People who can only read through audio or braille are already facing certain disadvantages, such as not being able to quickly scan a piece of content in the same way visual readers can. Polluting the content with meaningless alternative text makes for an overly verbose user experience.

> Empty alt text means no image description. Think about that. You are blind. Your Screen reader tells you "image", nothing more.

This is factually incorrect. Using an empty string as the alt attribute on an image is the correct way to mark an image as decorative, and as such a screen reader user will never be informed about its presence. If the alt attribute is omitted entirely, that's when screen readers try to guess by announcing the filename and/or URL (or on iOS, actually trying to perform object recognition on its contents).

Do you need more performance benchmarks? Here's my experiences on Linux (NixOS).

I've done some light Blender work on it and it handled things just fine. Haven't tried GPU acceleration for Cycles, though.

If I bump up thermal limits to 95 degrees then it compiles things at similar speeds to my old i7-6700k machine, if not slightly faster. At stock 60 degrees it's still pretty damn fast, but aggressively throttles if you try to use all cores at once for more than a few seconds. At stock thermal limits it also never gets too uncomfortable to handle.

The GPU is good but not great. Satisfactory via Proton struggled (but got to 50FPS on low settings), older games like Portal 2 run great on ultra settings. amdgpu works pretty well, or at least not worse than amdgpu on my desktop.

Overall, it's a good replacement for my old workstation, can handle some non-trivial video/GPU workloads, and I recommend it. There's some things that need to be ironed out (ACPI S3 sleep is currently somewhat broken, but Lenovo is currently working on certifying this machine with Ubuntu, so that should fix things), but that's mostly because it's such a new CPU/Laptop.
> Articles like this aren't helpful because they pick and exhibit a few case studies instead of attempting to estimate base rates and risk proportions

A better question might be: Why aren't Amazon publishing the number of units sold relative to number of fires? Instead of putting the journalist trying to cover this with imperfect information into the dock, let's see Amazon defend it.

> Would it even be possible to make a truly Kafkaesque game?

Dwarf fortress.

1. Everything to do with the user experience, but if you want specific examples, minecarts, "uniforms", task priorities in the main ui without mods

2. How you actually get to the point where you play the game is Kafkaesque in and of itself (eg the whole starter pack thing)

3. The mind-boggling complexity of everything

4. How banal the game seems much of the time if things are going well

5. How utterly benign things can lead to utter degredation and destruction. (Case in point, I had a happy fortress, one of my guys went out fishing, got caught in the rain, started a murderous rampage that ended up with half the fortress killing each other. During the fight one of my female dwarves put her baby down somewhere, couldn't find it and even though she survived the fight, went into a spiral of despair from which she never recovered)

6. There is no such thing as success. All games end in failure

This kind of revolving door stuff has been going on for as long as there has been government and private industry. It's just as scary as ever, but no more.

There are a lot of subtle consequences of 1UPT as well. You can't let the player produce too many units, or the whole map will lock up. You can't make units too expensive though, or they'll just be hitting next-turn 40 times between each production in the ancient era. So tiny cities have to punch above their weight, and big ones below. Once you do that though you have to heavily penalize expansion. What they really needed was to increase the tile-density of the map several times, give room to maneuver. That would seriously change the city management gameplay though, potentially make it too tedious.
I think we’re in agreement, just that you understood what I wrote a bit differently from how I intended. By “described in the visible text” I didn’t mean “expounded at length”. I’m talking most commonly about the sort of captions newspapers printed with images, typically 5–30 words; but also about things in the text that refer to the figure, like “here are the benchmark results:” and “we see that X is 57% faster than Y”.

There’s no good way of exposing lengthy information about a chart to screen readers. Don’t try doing it via alt, it’s a bad experience; and don’t try doing it by screen-reader-only text, that just gets confusing. The longdesc attribute was an attempt to do this, but it failed to gain traction among users or assistance tech. Consensus now is that you should instead include in the caption a link to a page that focuses just on the chart, which can then include more detail for the screen readers.

Hardly upper class.

I don't really mind imposing values that promote individuals being respected and happy on countries which routinely crush difference as a matter of culture and policy. It is not a bad thing. Call it imperialism if you wish, but if you do you'll be missing the key thing about imperialism, which is that it is exploitative. Wiki having standards exploits nobody.

DLSS 1.9 was impressive, but has its problems and would understandably be avoided by most gamers. DLSS 2 is a whole different story[1], and is highly likely to be something that most gamers enable. 4K/60 or 1440p/240 are the golden standards for PC gamers (depending on whether you prefer high resolution, or high framerates) and DLSS 2 would help you achieve either.

RTX is nice, Minecraft RTX has done a lot for marketing it. Probably still a coin-flip on whether a gamer would eat the performance hit for the quality improvement.

Is this really the case? Last I checked all the major Deep Learning toolsets ran off CUDA/cuDNN and there was nothing comparable for AMD hardware.
"“To me, this is half the story,” she says, pointing out that though the study data touches on interpersonal relationships, it more heavily measures task-oriented actions, which are only a portion of what drive leadership. “The next logical step is [to study] how team members manage interpersonal relations and behaviours and who emerges as leaders. We don’t really know that.” For example, a follow-up study might explore whether doer leaders maintain interpersonal skills over time."
The big fact of the matter is that https is usually unnecessary for most websites. So this entire effort is a massive waste. Why do I need https on my blog? What is the great risk I am exposing myself to by hosting a plain html page? Nothing.

That's called "firm real-time failure". Again, the standard definitions of starvation/liveness only use "eventually" and "never" without mentioning actual physical time IIRC, and the real-time systems use a whole another bunch of concepts to deal with actual, physical time.

And it doesn't really fail to progress if it's cancelled on deadline expiration, it progresses to a non-successful completion. If it instead hanged indefinitely, yes, that'd be a problem.
>So you're saying articles aren't allowed to

Nope, I said nothing of what is allowed, and the majority of reports like this will never contain useful statistics regardless. I just said it's not helpful to consumers, because it doesn't actually help them make a better decision when you don't know if the brand is more or less safe than the alternatives.

They could easily write an article about a huge problem someone had with product X. Then consumers instead buy product Y, which could have a higher rate of problems, and the article has done harm instead of good. I can't make a claim about this article, but given they're just written for clicks, it's not like they have the consumer's interests in mind either way.

Applying AI in the Real-World
From an evolutionary perspective, you are technically right. We've evolved to reproduce and to support traits that aid in reproduction. From that perspective, it doesn't matter if we as individuals are okay or not.

However, we evolved from social, tribal apes. As an individual, I want to optimize my own happiness and contentness because it feels good. Humans have mirror neurons that cause me to feel the emotions I see in others. Because of that, I have an incentive not only to fight for my own comfort and happiness, but the happiness of others.

What's interesting is that our mirror neurons can extend past humans. I have the capacity to feel for other animals. That gives me an incentive to either care for their happiness or never think of them whatsoever.

Back in 2018 I was upgrading my computer, and I wanted an all-AMD system, so I picked up a 2700X and a Vega 64. I’m really happy with the 2700X, but I returned the Vega because the Linux drivers (open source and proprietary) were shoddy for separate reasons. I picked up a 1080ti instead and never had a problem.

Wait, what? It's somewhere in the middle between Windows (too pixel-fitted) and macOS (too blurry). FreeType, slight hinting, LCD filtering on is the best font rendering that I know.
I agree. I think OP was referring to nvidia?
Yeah, but now we have this weird mix of awaits, thens, and missing awaits that you're not sure were intentional.

I may be in the minority here, but I kind of prefer callback hell to async hell. It's fine on projects with one or two devs, but more than that and the situation seems to devolve into tabs-vs-spaces, where one group finds the other incomprehensible and won't use it.

There is no need for a long-term stock exchange.

However, isn't a lot of the improvement you see in clean air and water in Europe thanks to the fact that a lot of the manufacturing that used to happen in Europe has now relocated to China after its efforts to open up its economy that started in the 80s.

The net result may be a win for the environment in developed Western nations, but considering how polluted China now is, I wonder if it's still a net negative for the world as a whole.

I disagree with the assertion that this type of article isn't helpful. I would say it's 'not scientific', but not unhelpful.

I don't think Amazon is likely to release those statistics anytime soon, but I'm glad people are talking about this as it may change perception on both sides. Either the consumer sees this article and purchases less 'Amazon Basics' branded products, or someone inside Amazon sees it and decides to do something about it.

Not optimal, but far from unhelpful.
