Hard to trust an institution called the heterodox academy.
"I bought an internet-enabled ad delivery platform and put it in my living room. Why is it showing me advertising?!"

Of course, it's showing you advertising, that's what the internet is for according to the advertising scum of the world.

Maybe don't buy a 'smart' TV next time?
No argument there. In the same span of history, the 13th-15th Amendments, Brown v. Board of Education, and Loving v. Virginia also happened.

As with so many gigantic institutions, the US government is not uniformly supportive of or disruptive of white supremacy, over time or within an era.
AIUI there are problems with that fact that the RPi3 doesn't have a "proper" GIC. The RPI4 has GICv2, but RPi3 has some sort of custom interrupt controller.
Genuine curiousity. Do these mean strings from string theory.
Except they don't usually take you where you want to go, and they're not zero emissions because very few lines in the US are electrified
That's how I feel about lifting heavy weights. There's certainly a general principle to be found here.

One piece of feedback I got from someone I respect very much is, "read less and write more." So far that's been limited to quality documentation and Tufte style presentations, but I can definitely see the appeal of writing a book even if I don't make a penny off it.
Maybe I'm misunderstanding the case here, but why is spoofing orders a crime? If the answer is: because algorithmic trading computers get screwed up and try to front run and buy the asset when they think there are buyers - I just can't feel sympathetic. Who exactly is the victim here?
You self censor writing and opinions since you know you are being monitored. Thus you confer to the norm.

I am personally a bit disturbed that Internet seems to polarize people views. I think this may be partly due to social media algorithms. Ie content that you react strongly emotionally to on social media are promoted to get user attention/increase advertising revenue.
Censorship is fine if it's opt in. I don't use facebook and censor myself from it. I opt in to use a pihole and adblocker. It filters many things I otherwise would see.

You can't often choose your ISP so this makes it extra important for censorship of any kind of to be opt in rather than forced.
Nvidia has official ppa's with all versions of CUDA, libcudnn and drivers. If you install from there you will not have problems.

It helps keeping to Ubuntu LTS versions though, that's what they support best.
It's a slower slide, but over time this information is centralised into a fewer and fewer large data brokers, what the scores means will become standardised across industries meaning eventually there will be no escape by going to competitors. This enables companies to start charging based on automatically generated risk profiles, some of which will end up being generated based on political preference (or proxies for it) Eventually this means that people with bad scores will be unable to afford certain things in the same way that they have trouble accessing credit. Credit scores are just the beginning.

For instance, imagine you are an airline. You have an issue to do with deportation critics disrupting flights when people are being forcibly deported on them. This happens fairly infrequently but costs you quite a lot of money every time this happens. So, 'logically', you decide to determine who is most likely to disrupt a flight and so through discriminatory thinking somebody decides that those with left-wing political leanings are more likely to disrupt a flight. They purchase this information on political leanings for each of their passengers and pass this cost onto those who fit the profile, entirely on the basis of their political beliefs.

And if they don't do this directly, they will do it by proxy in the same way that the insurance industry has been using proxies for race. https://www.forbes.com/sites/advisor/2020/07/23/insurance-re...

It's a sort of insurance-ification of all pricing and permission which this kind of technology is increasingly enabling.

Glad I can do my part! If only I could pollute Google's data further.

Even though this offering from Cloudflare is something from another 3rd party, I'm going to watch it to see how it pans out. However, it would be even more impressive if they offered a 1st party version. The JS runs on the same domain, it points to a database you control, and only your org has access to the data.
Yes, and it's an idea that has no basis on the actual, not theoretical, experience of most of us here.
Answer from Cloudflare CEO Matthew Prince: "Yes. There are more features with higher tiers, but every tier including free gets upgraded analytics."

There was a significant use case when Amtrak was gutted to make way for "modernization" of transit, which resulted in the urban sprawl and high rate of car ownership that you see today.

And also, Amtrak is a quasi-public corporation like USPS. Its existence is meant to be a public good, not to be profitable.

LG TVs also have a "display mode" that's used for live restaurant menus and the like (think: the TVs above the registers at McDs). We had to flash a special firmware file via USB to enable it though.
I read history parts of civil rights movements in America. What I found was that any white who would support desegregation was ostracised and punished by whites.
There definitely needs to be an event aggregator that doesn't require a facebook account. I don't use Facebook, but all the hobby groups I ever meet in real life do!
This app looks great - it would be really helpful to use it in Firefox where a lot of devs, designers and techies are.

This is the new narrative and it's pretty misconstrued. Have you read any of the "long term" effect studies? They're almost all case studies on very specific people. The UK study published out of Charlottesville has 60+ people in it, 8 with their own individual case studies, and all of them are either over 50 or are high risk workers.

ANY virus can cause long term neurological damage, especially in the elderly. It's very common. It's WAY too early to claim "permanent damage" for a virus that's literally been with us less than a year. Look at lymes disease.

We simply cannot keep living like this under absolutely hysterical fear that has no real basis in fact. We need to start living our lives again.
It feels like there is a contradiction.

a) The article claims data misuse is still just in the process of barely gaining attention and also that
b) people are already aware of how their data is misused and are adapting by self-censoring etc.

I also feel like there is a conflation between a) conformity enforced by a loud hyper-online minority and b) conformity due to data mining and automated reputation calculations.

I think most people are totally unaware of anything connected to data use, they just "use the apps like a normal person", anything beyond that is an unknown unknown to them. They may have a vague idea of ad personalization, but don't think much about issues like that. They just see the text box and they enter their thoughts and messages and click things they like.

10 years ago people used to say online comments are nasty because people are anonymous and can hide their identity. It turns out lots of people are more than willing to write vile and nasty comments on Facebook with their full names attached, with their family photos public etc. And they aren't fake profiles, because I know some of them.

Simply sitting behind a keyboard makes us less inhibited, it's not about the actual anonymity. Our lizard brains cannot comprehend that we are being watched by unknown people from the future whenever we post something, the brain thinks we're sitting in the comfort of our room with nobody around.

Also, conformity is there in the physical world as well, and saying the wrong things will spread rumors etc. Now, for sure, having no permanent record of everything does make forgetting or relativizing other people's memories easier so there is a fade-away effect.
This is a big big news. Very sad that Amenesty is halting its work. It could be the case that Amenesty really had some problems in its Indian org, I am not a judge, not going to jump to any conclusions, but if the BJP led government is really trying to curb the work that Amenesty is doing by using central agencies that's very very scary.

I feel India is going on a wrong track, it was doing okay in regards to Democratic values until Modi came to power, and since then it is on a downwards trajectory in that department. I have not seen any media house putting out any news which condemn decision that Modi makes, all are just praising Modi for god knows what reason. This ain't even a news in India, they are all running behind Bollywood celebs.

I feel Indian people are one-two generation(s) away, most of the Indian people can't really digest democracy at the moment.
Free speech is also saying you are a dick when you are acting like one, or does the buck stop when you are the one who get offended?
Async Google Docs > async Slack > meetings

You can setup a template with all they main points and checklists already in place, then get people to fill it out and collaborate on it.

Here's an example with the headlines, each would become it's own section:

- Problem summary
- Impact
- Measure of success
- “Why does this happen?”
- Current solutions
- Ideal scenario
- Constraints and needs
- Unknowns
- Proposed change
- Alternatives

And checklists for the writers:

- On what level, and how detailed I want to describe things?
- Did I write details into unrelated sections?
- Who is this document for? Do they really know all that stuff I assume?
- What impact would this change have on the business?
- Can we quantify it?
- How do we measure that the change solved the problem? How does winning look like? (ROI, proof of impact)
- What is the root cause? (“Why? Why? Why? Why? Why?”) Are we solving the right problem?
- Can we break up the solution into smaller chunks to reach the goal faster?
- Are we trying to solve a general problem before something specific?
- How do people solve this already?
- Did we talk to them yet?
etc.

Then you offloaded all the questions you would have asked anyway to a document.
I believe the phrase is "seize the means of production."

Ceasing it is merely a consequence of botching the seizing (and the understanding of where that means fit in a post-Industrial-Revolution ecosystem of interlocked systems). ;)
Sure.

But the skill remains in competition with all other skills --- some specialisation or specialisations must shrink for another to grow.

With a century of universal compulsory education, US adult literacy rates have difficulty cracking 91%.[1] That's about 10 million people with no effective English literacy. (Some are literate in other languages.) Some other industrialised countries see similar results, though most fall at 98% or higher by UNESCO rankings.[2] And even basic literacy expresses a minimal language and cognitive capability.

Skill itself is finite. Over half the population, and over 2/3 in most surveyed industrialised countries, have poor, "below poor", or no computer skills at all, by an OECD survey.

https://www.nngroup.com/articles/computer-skill-levels/

The population with the demonstrated capacity to aquire any advanced computer skills seems to be about 5--10%, and this competes with all other high-skill, technical, or professional occupations. Increasingly it's a prerequisite for them, possibly shrinking that pool.

Again, the larger point is that attention, a key component of skills acquisition, is rivalrous, in both individuals and populations

They're my blog posts and that's a good point. I can generally write a blog post in a few hours.

Martin's book is clearly a masterpiece and mine isn't. Just though I'd chime in and let folks know that writing a book doesn't have to be a 2.5 year full-time commitment.
> The number of people that could justify the expense (or opportunity cost) to just learn something for pleasure, is miniscule.

When you make this argument for college, it seems reasonable to also ask “is grade 12 the ideal point at which this fitness function is optimized for most?” Maybe it should be after grade 14. Maybe it should be after grade 10.
Yup. I just need to find an alternative to Google Play for the billing, and set that up.

I should also find an alternative to FireBase Analytics, which doesn't seem to be open source, but that isn't a blocker as I can release it in F-Droid without analytics, as the analytics were going to be disabled by default anyway.
An advance probably isn't going to be much more than beer money. It's not unreasonable to imagine though that a West Coast developer could have some savings.

That said, given his comments about finances (which are spot-on), it does seem like sort of a leap to take 1+ year off. Nothing wrong with taking some extended time off, but most wouldn't use it to write a book full-time. Of course, going in he may have had unreasonable expectations which were indeed met.
> because the income that this work has generated is in the same ballpark as the Silicon Valley software engineering salary (including stock and benefits) I could have received in the same time if I hadn’t quit LinkedIn in 2014 to work on the book

I think he’s underestimating his salary and stock value.

Most Silicon Valley engineers at his level would make more than $200,000 a year with stock and salary.
Referer includes the site you came from, what am I missing?

Yes, and it won't be able to tell which site you come from if it's set to no-referer.

Extraornidary being proportional to itself, it seems you actually agree.
If you're "learning about ML" there is no point in buying anything. Just get the cloud compute instead, and for home use and testing literally anything will do. I have friends who work with ML professionally and even they say it's just hard to justify running any computations at home once you factor in the electricity and hardware cost - GCP compute just beats the cost, easily.
> If you wanted job prospects you would instead focus upon a professional license, which is not education.

At least in the US, too many fields rely on the degree as the professional license, so there's no alternative.
No it isn’t...
> no one ever showed me how to use a single power tool.

This is because using power tools is most of the time following safety protocols and reading the instruction manual. if you learned how to read well, you shouldn't need someone to teach you this (unless you're using highly specialized tools for niche situations, but that's more of vocational training)
A quick Google shows a chart saying $42/MWh which is on scale with electricity production in general.

Sounds too high for something like energy storage but I assume that is in the ballpark for reasonable car pricing from the phrasing of the report.

Also honestly we could use "good enough" ways of reducing emissions. Waiting for perfect would be a bad idea.
It's interesting to see a multi-billion dollar company step into the privacy-first analytics scene. Moving from one centralized, tech giant to another. I was so fired up that I wrote this: https://usefathom.com/blog/big-tech-vs-fathom
But isn't each (say) chat room a single object, and each is single-threaded (per answer elsewhere on this page).

It's nice to know that if "N" chat rooms get started, "N" instances are built, but if 100k people join one chat room, it's going to bog at best, and flame out at worst. Or am I guessing wrong?
From my understanding of the article, they aren't necessarily the same but could be related:

Another more speculative possibility is that cosmic strings could come from the tiny vibrating strings of string theory. Some string theory models propose that strings could have grown to colossal proportions during the initial rapid expansion of the cosmos. Differences in the tension of these kinds of cosmic strings and in how string loops break away would create a unique gravitational-wave signature distinguishing them from other kinds.
It's hard to take Cloudflare and Privacy seriously in the same sentence. Even with a basic implementation they have even more power over you and your customers than Google would (with a simple JS include) in so many ways.

The only way it adds privacy is by being more limited in some forms of tracking, but in the wider big data collection, tracking people across domains, etc, they really don't have much of an argument. Especially when they are working to control such a big % of internet traffic. It's still all going to a centralized DB where correlations can be done.

In many ways they could already vacuum up this information whether you enabled analytics or not.

Just because they claim not to be doing it, doesn't mean its fundamentally privacy oriented.

Not far enough down the line to understand either theory but "string" is overloaded.

The reputation of private schools is “spotty” in the sense of being a much broader distribution, IMO.

The very top schools and the very worst schools tend to be private, with the latter being the (near-?)scam, for-profit schools.
Check GP's profile. The info you're asking about is there.
The status quo is not explicitly racist, and a lot of people are comfortable with it. The push by the left is to suggest that just because a system does not have discriminatory laws, that doesn't mean it's not oppressive. Take the prevalence of indentured servitude after the Civil War as an example. I'd recommend "The New Jim Crow: Mass Incarceration in the Age of Colorblindness" for a lucid account of the racial issues in current America.

If you can be convinced that the status quo is oppressive to racial minorities, then it serves to perpetuate white supremacy.

I don't follow your first point, since it seems clear to me that people of color, jewish people, and homosexuals are able to hold white supremacist viewpoints.

It's the opposite, the T4 is far behind gaming GPUs.

Reasons to buy a T4:

- You need the 16Gb RAM. You usually won't for inference, though.

- You need single slot cards to use in server chassis. Even here you are likely better off buying a Quadros than a T4

- You need the high power efficiency of the T4 (75W TDP)

Good riddance.

Anecdotal, but I noticed a definite change in the tone of sales emails I was getting after I turned off images in Gmail. When they could tell I was reading their garbage but not responding, there was a lot of "tell me why you aren't interested" and "just a fifteen-minute call, just fifteen minutes we swear" and "please just talk to me, why won't you talk to me?"

They saw I was opening the emails—at this point, if I see something bold, I tap it without thinking—so they thought they had a chance, and they were really obnoxious.

I finally switched off images. After they stopped being able to tell if I was seeing their stuff, they got a little less pushy; they couldn't be sure I'd gotten their first email, so they focused more on re-explaining their product than trying to guilt me into reacting to them.

(I'm a little more understanding of people who use these to determine how much dead weight their mailing list has. Especially if you're an indie creator, you don't want to be paying for the 20% of people who might not be reading your newsletter. I don't mind a "please let us know if you're reading our newsletter" email as long as they're not obnoxious about it.)
I wonder how this meshes, or clashes, with the recent reinvigoration of primordial black holes as dark matter candidates (versus non-interactive particles).

That RFC is marked as "PROPOSED STANDARD" which is why I saw it as work in progress but you're right, that seems to be the end of the road for RFC's (for example RFC 6455 December 2011 (websockets) is also marked as proposed standard but this is what everyone has implemented)
It's similar to questioning the morality of a scam artist who hires his friends to pretend to bid on something in front of the victim to influence them or drive up the price.
Reasonable people on both sides censor themselves (at least more than unreasonable people).

My theory is that this is why Full Name Required comments fields and also Facebook is way uglier than pseudonymous forums like HN and Ars Technica.
