I’ll concede to the fact that they are in a sense polluting our population (no different than carbon footprint).

I don’t know, it’s all very odd given that big tech is banning misinformation now days, but big media has no such imperative. They will run with the most unsubstantiated stuff for however long it’s profitable (Russia-gate). Their modus operandi in terms of carving out markets is to do the opposite of another network/publication and claim that territory as their feeding ground. How do you even begin to treat waters like this?

Kind of shows who is really powerful, Qanon or the rampant proliferation of party talking points. One of those is a legit 4chan meme, so do the math.
Vacuums in general. Eufy robot vacuum, Eufy stick vacuum, and an inherited Kirby. The robot vacuum does a great job, and the stick vacuum is so versatile for both spot-cleans and doing entire floors. The Kirby is the heavy-duty one. Does a great job on carpet, and it had a carpet shampooing attachment that is great to do for spring cleaning.
Truth isn't the result of consensus, it's the result of knowledge. "everyone figuring out what they think is most likely true" leads to millions of people being propagandized into believing 5G towers cause coronavirus.

On average, the panel of experts is still going to be more reliable.
It is likely that both the "fabric of spacetime" idea and the Graviton are parts of the whole picture, like with particle-wave duality. In the end, particles, waves, and spacetime are really just abstractions on top of the true, possibly unknowable rules of the universe.
Thank you for sharing this great experiment!

I'd love a news source that gives me relevant information at lower frequency and, water reading your description, with some delay. Maybe every two weeks and the content covers two weeks with a two week delay. So the oldest news would be over month old when I get it.

Years ago someone on the a16z podcast claimed that more frequent news is more negative in its content than less frequent news. They proposed the thought experiment of a newspaper that only gets published ones a century. Yes you'd cover the world wars, but a lot of space would go to incredible medical discoveries, human rights advancements, improved living conditions for the vast majority of people, fewer famines, etc.
Love the story and really agree with that philosophy
I just had another thought.

The word “dimension” in this context is overloaded. We think of space being three dimensions but really it’s only one - velocity relative to a specific reference frame. Thinking of it this way, the word “spacetime” makes sense; it’s a two-dimensional system: “spatial velocity” (S) on one axis and “temporal velocity” (T) on another. Both velocities are always measured against a reference frame, and their sum is c (c=S+T).

This would mean that time travel is impossible not because of a “speed limit”, but because c is a dimensionless physical constant.

I feel like tying work to the cost of your apartment is a distressing step towards company towns and company stores. Let labor and capital negotiate for rates based off what the cost of the labor is and the value it provides the company rather than coming up with Byzantine formulas that imply that a workers housing cost is the business of the company.

NPR is a little biased but the tone is really quite demure and it's fairly factual. Since they are not blasting information in your face and they have different incentives, I find it reasonable.

Also, read 'other countries news' about your home country.

And then read the local news, which tends to be more matter of fact.

You DO NOT need to spend 2.5k to look good: aim for 100-200 from ASOS.com and you'll look fabulous! You can order multiple sizes of the same product and return those that don't fit. Fit is key!

Check eBay for good quality shoes if cost is an issue (e.g. Meermin, etc) as imho that's generally the large cost in the wardrobe.

It would be cool, but transactions are two way. Its technologically not gonna be too difficult to create a way to buy with stocks (cashapp could probably add the feature tommorow if they wanted) but its also about the other party's willingness to recieve payment in stocks. If the price is expected to go down, they're not going to want to receive it (inflation). If the price is going to go up, you're not going to want to part with it (deflation). But what if there was some sort of asset that had an agency backing it to try and control inflation and deflation to ensure that the value of the asset is stable over time, so it can be used as a currency?

Yeah, the moon's gravitational field is quite lumpy compared to Earth's, due to its smaller size and the way it is believed to have formed. Plus you can orbit much closer to the surface due to the lack of atmosphere, so the lumps are steeper.
Curvature due to gravity depends entirely on mass. No mass = no spacetime curvature. In this case, the mass of the Earth is causing the curvature.
How come on half of the earth's sphere people don't get ejected out into outer space while the other half of the sphere it pushes onto the people giving them sense of acceleration?

If earth is pushing equally on all of the people around the globe how come it doesn't swell up and burst?

And how do you explain force of attraction weakening the higher in altitude you go away from earth?

Yes, and the problem is significantly worsened by Prop 13, which shields long time homeowners from the normal negative side effect of higher property values: higher property taxes. There's basically no downside to homeowners from property values shooting through the stratosphere.

So, this is a serious screw up. Garda, like their competitors Brinks and Loomis process money for banks. For instance, a company like Target may bank with Bank of America, US Bank, Wells Fargo, etc.

However, historically every bank was regional. So a bank like US Bank was a Midwest bank (Minneapolis). If Target wanted to use US Bank on the West Coast for some of its stores, it was a problem because they didn’t have operations there. To fix that, a bank like US Bank may use an “outsourced processor” like Garda to process the deposits for some of their stores on the West coast.

So a processor like Garda has a “vault” in LA. In that vault, they process work for many banks (i.e. Us Bank, Wells, Bank of America... and many more). As deposits come in from many stores associated with many banks, the funds are allocated to the specific bank.

If an auditor from a Bank X comes in and says “I expect to count $8 million in your possession for Bank X” and it isn’t there, that is a huge problem.

I’d hate to work for Garda right now (or any of the outsourced processors). Lots of people think banks are archaic, but one thing they do great is audit funds. This is going to raise the level of scrutiny across the industry.

Likewise, this can’t just be coin. Most businesses keep as much coin as they can and don’t deposit much. Being off by $9 million in coin in one location would be crazy.

Likewise, most of these vaults have more security than most people have ever seen. They keep every piece of paper they receive in a holding cage for months and can find a paper clip deposited three weeks ago and tell you what customer and store deposited it.

There are cameras on every person almost all the time. The people who run these vaults are militant. Stealing money in a vault is extremely difficult. If you want to steal money, there are far easier ways to do it.

It smells of an accounting issue or a very inside job at a specific vault.
As a reader, I want to immerse myself in the world that the author creates for me.
It's a communication between the author, and me, the reader.

If an author were to outsource this communication to an algorithm, I'd never read anything from this author again.

It's betrayal, just like outsourcing a phone call to your mother to GPT-3.

It's a waste of everyone's time: The authors time to set up and train the rubbish generation, the CPU cycles and energy wasted, and the reader's time.

Writing is a fine art, and captivating the reader is hard work. The fact that you get bored when reading work by authors that set up the scenery thoroughly might be a sign that those authors stuck to some kind of template for story drafting.
There are tutorials and bootcamps for novelists, just like we have coding schools and Create-React-App.

If you get bored by texts created based on templated story layouts, imagine how readers would feel being fed GPT-3 nonsense.
> Spherical mass can be replaced with a point mass

I'm not a physicist, but that doesn't sound right. One example is that if you are inside of the sphere, at least some of the mass will be pulling you away from the point at its center. I think what you mean is that a point mass closely approximates a spherical mass, but the degree to which that is true becomes less and less the closer you get to the center. I don't think you have successfully contradicted what the person you responded to said.
I'll add that there's a whole other dimension to this. People often ask leading questions with the Socratic approach. For the vast majority of folks, their experience with leading questions involves either:

1. A trap

2. Someone who wants to tell them something but insists on doing it via questions.

3. Both

An example of 2 above is when A (e.g. a manager) is upset at B (an employee), but won't go into the details, but instead keeps asking "You did X. What do you think person Y thinks of this?" and a lot of "Why" questions. In practice, this has a high failure rate: B is often annoyed, and A failed to adequately express the problem.

I've been guilty of doing this, and I've often had people tell me after I ask a question "It sounds like you have something on your mind. Why don't you express it?" Less polite people (including me) have said "I'm interested in a dialogue, not a one-way set of questions. I have better things to do than answer questions. If you have something to say, I suggest you start saying it. "

Communications and negotiations books universally tell you not to ask leading questions. Ask questions only for clarification or out of genuine curiosity. For everything else, express concerns openly - don't ask questions.

Anyway - the point of this side note is: Often when people use the Socratic method, they use leading questions.

I do think managed solutions like Fargate & Sagemaker are good choices. Some providers, notably GCP, have no offerings that seriously match these (Cloud Run has too many limitations).

Kubernetes is very poor for workload orchestration for machine learning. It’s ok for simple RPC-like services in which each isolated pod just makes stateless calls to a prediction function and reports a result and a score.

But it’s very poor for stateful combinations of ML systems, like task queues or robustness in multi-container pod designs for cooperating services. And it is especially bad for task execution. Operating Airflow / Luigi on k8s is horrendous, which is why nearly every ML org I’ve seen ends up writing their own wrappers around native k8s Job and CronJob.

Kubeflow can be thought of like an attempt to do this in a single, standard manner, but the problem is that there are too many variables in play. No org can live with the different limitations or menu choices that kubeflow enforces, because they have to fit the system into their company’s unique observability framework or unique networking framework or unique RBAC / IAM policies, etc. etc.

I recommend leveraging a managed cloud solution that takes all that stuff out of the internal datacenter model of operations, move it off of k8s, and only use systems you have end to end control over (eg, do your own logging, do your own alerting, etc. through vendors & cloud - don’t rely on SRE teams to give you a solution because it almost surely will not work for machine learning workloads).

If you cannot do that because of organizational policy, then create your own operators and custom resources in k8s and write wrappers around your main workload patterns, and do not try to wedge your workloads into something like kubeflow or TFX / TF Serving, MLflow, etc. You may have occasional workloads that use some of these, but you need to ensure you have wrapped a custom “service boundary” around them at a higher level of abstraction, otherwise you are hamstrung by their (deep seated) limitations.
> Which is exactly same as Islam in schools.

This is silly. My office in Google Munich has a meditation room used mostly -- though not exclusively -- by Muslims to pray. Is Google trying to get all its employees to be Muslim now?

A prayer/meditation room that's open to both religious and comparable non-religious uses is a modest and reasonable accommodation that doesn't warrant hysterics over public schools "teaching Islam".
>The mysteries behind a lot of these ancient megalithic structures make me wonder about how sophisticated these presumed primitive civilizations actually we're.

Consider that while the invention of writing systems allowed us to store knowledge and grow our technology base, human intellect and capacity hasn't changed in any real sense over at least the past 50,000 years.

The human ability to reason, imagine and create has existed for tens of millenia. As such, such sophistication isn't all that surprising.
> Perhaps they are drip irrigating the entire floor of the artificial forest to minimize evaporative losses?

More or less (saw it on german TV a few weeks ago) - here ( https://www.planet-wissen.de/video-aegypten--ein-wald-mitten... ), if you jump to 01:55 you'll see the small pipes that distribute the water, but it's a bit more than just "drip irrigation" (at 02:34 it's visible that it's more than just a few drops).
I don't think you can look at DBNT in the vein of first to try. I think what A16Z is saying is are the things you're doing common activities in the existing population.

So Google was just another search engine, therefore, it was DOTB

Apple, computers were not mainstream, the others can be debated. So Apple computer was DBNT.

Before Spotify streaming of any music you wanted (almost) was not mainstream, therefore they were DBNT

NVIDIA...I'm not sure I can comment, sure, they weren't the first GPU, but did they push the industry to be able to do things that couldn't be done before? Or were they just riding the adoption curve? Anybody able to answer that?
I'm doing sysadmin roles using OpenProject 10.n and up, really enjoying it (also sysadmin a bunch of atlassian instances). Does the basic things well, with active development team behind it. Well worth a shakedown test to verify if fit-for-purpose for your needs.
I think it would be totally possible for C++ to adopt and "epochs" model where you mark your units of compilation to support specific language features and that would make life tremendously easy. You could even mark epochs where legacy features get marked as deprecation warnings, etc.
So it's not even their own campaign, it's what some other people are saying? Seriously, that's your source? You said the candidate was "promising Islam in schools", but this is nothing like that. If this is all you have, then your original statement was a lie.

This honestly kind of looks like a parody image, even. Can't you find anything actually substantive to back up what you said?
You are talking about one of the most privileged people on earth. Not to mention the guy caused immense suffering on innocent vietnamese people. The guy certainly deserves no sympathy cause his "suffering" was a result of murdering people.

Yes, but also no.

You can get bored because you aren't being fed a curated stream of engagement-boosting content; but you can also get bored you don't find an interesting community.

Mastodon has no unit of community smaller than "the local timeline", and it's really not cheap / easy to run your own (due to very high RAM requirements).

By way of comparison, 'one subreddit' is a group you can follow and post to from your main account. You can look at a single accounts post history, but the common case is to follow moderated interest groups. There aren't good ways to participate in interest-specific communities on mastodon (I'm not just whinging; I've tried to improve the situation but it's genuinely difficult at an ecosystem level).

True, but wasn't my point with "expensive machinery". By that I was referring to

* discovering which instructions are executed (tracking control flow),
* mapping x86 code addresses to translated addresses,
* discovering the shape of the CFG and finding loops,
* purging translations that get invalidated by overwrites (like self-modifying code),
* sprinkling the translated code full of guards so we can make assumptions about the original code

etc. All this is unnecessary for WASM and you can in fact make a quick and dirty one-pass translation for the 1st gear. I don't know, but it seems reasonable that they would keep the same FP->Int semantics as JS, but you rarely do that in non-JS code.

EDIT: fail to make bullets, oh well.
In Newtonian physics, a sphere and point mass are exactly interchangeable as long as you are not inside the sphere. If you are outside the sphere, the equivalence is exact, regardless of distance.

True, but I think the GP's danans overall point still stands. Household water consumption (and waste) just isn't that much. It takes a lot of households to support a pretty little forest. Maybe a mature canopy increases your efficiency by 50% or more, but you're still working with a pretty small volume of water.

I would also question just how valuable concurrent editing of a text document is. it's cool that it's technically possible, but it doesn't seem that useful for multiple people to be editing the same sentence or paragraph in real time. in practice, I find that people divvy up the document into sections and each work on their assigned section independently. this makes google docs / office 365 a moderately lower friction version of everybody working in their own documents and copying changes to a master doc with version history, which has been a supported workflow in desktop word for quite a long time.

similarly, slack can be pretty useful, but I doubt it feels revolutionary to anyone who grew up using IRC.

A dust particle in the middle of the room takes many hours to settle on the floor or other horizontal surface. During that air time, it frequently changes direction and rises and falls many times. Every time someone walks on a dusty floor, lots of dust is put into the air. Most will eventually settle on the floor again, but some ends up on other horizontal surfaces. But the dust that ends up on the fllor again is likely to put in the again by people walking.
