> That's not to say I behave irresponsibly: I wear a mask in public (because "better safe than sorry")

Same here. My wife and I were wearing masks, social distancing, not going to public places like restaurants where there was a high risk of catching something, weeks before any public health authorities were recommending such measures, and before the case rate in our area started to spike. To us it was obvious common sense.

It depends on what you mean by "genuine awareness". Anyone with a diagnosed personality disorder will of course know that they have a personality disorder.

An alcoholic might engage in behavior that matches sociopathy (lying, manipulation, irritability, etc) for various reasons (covering for their drinking, getting access to alcohol and so on). What makes it different is that the alcoholic deep down can recognize that their drinking is a problem and hence also act to mitigate their destructive behavior.

A sociopath might be theoretically knowledgeable about their condition, but they can do little, if anything, to mitigate how they act and even if they know that everyone else might think something they do is wrong, they simply don't care. In other words: an alcoholic is likely to wish for not being an alcoholic, while a sociopath is likely to want to stay a sociopath.

An example of this is Sam Vaknin[0], who also monetizes his personality disorder after a fashion. There's a documentary about him and his wife floating around on Youtube, "I, Psychopath".

And YIMBY-type groups fight against these artificial restrictions on supply. That's not an argument that the fundamentals of supply and demand doesn't apply.

> is the additional supply causes prices to drop by some amount, which attracts new residents attracted by the drop in prices until the housing costs almost as much as it did before

That's the definition of demand: the number of people who would buy a good at a given price.
I'm a pool player and pretty well versed in the different billiard type games.

In Europe they're almost certainly more likely to say "snookered" instead, as 8 ball is not their main sport.

US players generally understand that reference, but I'm not sure non- players will.

Is that true though? I know that Hyundai at least has demonstrated a true level 4 system in Korea. It hasn't made its way to any production vehicles yet, but I suspect that's partially because the regulatory regime is still up in the air. Part of the real risk with releasing something right now is that you'll end up with a system that is not compliant with whatever the regulations eventually require.

Yeah, it's easy enough to figure out that it means "bad" -- but that still misses the whole point of it as a metaphor. I think, being unaware of the billiards idiom, my brain first went to 'magic 8-ball' and wondered if he was referring to 'chance'.

Thanks for the share. Will check it out.
I think there is a pretty big line on the spectrum of "lying and fabricating," from reading/erasing a name on a report and lying about it to maintain anonymity (not morally blameworthy to an extent that the person shouldn't be protected, I don't think) and totally making up events to cast someone in a false light (very morally blameworthy). I don't think you can draw a bright line rule like "[j]ournalists should not protect their sources if they lie or fabricate information" because of this spectrum.

There's no DSM definition for sociopathic so I'll assume you mean antisocial disorder, which no, antisocial disorders can not be "very functional" as the category depends on the individual not being very functional. I recommend looking up the diagnosis criteria in the DSM-V and I also recommend not assuming things about people you've never met.
Thanks, nice suggestion!

If there were an editor available that allowed you to both have Tableau-like interactions or edit the vega spec at the same time, would you use it?

Do you build any visualizations on "live data"? (ie. backed by some updating database or API?) Or is the data generally static once you're at the visualization stage?
The open relationship thing didn't/doesn't work for me, but I'm upvoting you because I think it's a little unfair you're being downvoted for your personal experience. I think some people may be downvoting you, though, because you seem to present yourself as "open" and yet it reads a bit as though your open relationships are more open for yourself than the women involved. No judgement from me, though: I also find that sort of 'open' arrangement easier to deal with. Probably all men do.

1) She's an actual sociopath, who tend to exhibit more and stronger attention-seeking behaviors than others.

2) She's not an actual sociopath, but in claiming to be one she's more likely to be a person who exhibits attention-seeking behaviors.

Either case would help explain both the tone of the article and her claimed activities. I also doubt that she was paid much, if anything, for the article.

That’s a “utilisation” view, and it’s a terrible model.

People who already have work to do are not responsive to new input.

By ensuring everyone is working all the time you also ensure nobody can respond to the unexpected.

The counterpoint to utilisation thinking is latency thinking (“how fast can our team respond to requests”).

An instance of utilisation thinking: “Our roads are not always full of traffic, how can we get more cars onto them?”. This is clearly absurd; why is “developers have work to do” a goal when “roads have cars on them” is not?
I can't imagine remapping any of the standard commands. What if you have to edit something as a guest on someone else's system? Just get used to it and deal. I've been using it (in "vi" form) daily since 1985 or so and doing any of those remappings would drive me nuts.

The McMaster site doesn't show shipping costs, because they package your items and then get the dimensions and weight. They only ship things very fast, and they charge you what that costs. They are optimizing for fast and correct, not cheap.

If you're concerned, you can call or e-mail them to ask for an estimate. It's worth noting that free shipping is never free -- it's either hidden in the item cost, or some corner is being cut.

The portability aspect seems overstated, or perhaps your use cases are just different. I can already log in to any server with my custom configs; Ansible is what configures my user already, so I just have it dump out my configs. If I can access it, it has my configs.

Admittedly, it does get annoying when I'm sudo-ed to another user, but it's vanishingly rare for me that I am both sudo-ed to another user, and doing enough editing that I really want those configs. Usually a sudo-ed vi for me is just updating a couple lines in a config, I don't need a full config for that
> Well, I’m asking. I’ve got something my country can do: raise the level of debate in this country.

How about actually asking Joe Biden some actual questions and demanding actual answers?

The only questions softer than the ones from the debate were the ones at his townhall^W infomercial on ABC last night.

Though what do you expect when the “random undecided voters” at the townhall include former Obama speech writers.

EDIT: Regarding last nights “townhall”: https://www.foxnews.com/media/abc-silent-biden-town-hall-att...

Though I find the approach that NBC took with his previous townhall is more egregious as they labeled individuals that’s they had previously interviewed as “Biden voters” as supposed undecided voters: https://www.foxnews.com/media/undecided-voters-nbc-biden-tow...

If the entire process is a rigged farce why would anyone expect any meaningful debate?
This is a really important point. One of the problems with the diagnosis of psychopathy, and ASPD in general, is that psychologists hate their patients with this diagnosis, and ironically, feel very little empathy for them. The result is that pop-psychology paints them as incurably evil. The problem is that if you give the standard psycopathy test to a random sample of the population, about 1% of people meet the clinical diagnosis, many of whom lead perfectly normal lives!
While psychopaths are heavily over represented in prison populations, most criminals are not psychopaths, and most psychopaths are not criminals.

Psychopaths aren't usually terribly dangerous. Don't lend them money, but almost certainly they won't kill or steal from you! (people with borderline personality disorder, a terrible and debilitating disease, are far more dangerous to the people in their lives)

Psychopaths are perfectly capable of behaving morally. They lack to a degree the emotional aspects of personal morality, but they can certainly reason morally, and thus can be productive members of society. The idea that they don't have emotions is an exaggeration. They do have emotions, though these emotions can be unusual or weak, and they can suffer. We should have empathy for them, even if they may not have for us
Books are to libraries as loose unordered sheets of print are to books.
Yes, and that is a completely useless remark that is the basis of Western philosophy since 4000 years. This isn't what "lesswrong rationalism" is about, that is about frantically trying to eliminate as many contradictions as possible even if it means being less effective at actually optimizing the values, whether it is by eliminating flexibility, increasing the likelihood of error, or abstracting away the contradictions to such a level that they can't be consciously dealt with anymore.

As you've missed in my first post, the issue is that personal philosophies are fundamentally different from physics, in that in physics there is a correct model, that can be reached by eliminating contradictions and constantly iterating. As far as models to maximize personal success, however that is, there is no such thing as a correct model, there will always be contradictions, and hyperfocusing on the most rational possible model to optimize for an irrational goal will almost always yield worse results.

Rationalism doesn't just mean "we can derive some benefit by carefully trying to use rationality to arrive to better models and decision", the same way that scientism doesn't just mean "we can derive some benefit by using science", rationalism is the idea that *all beliefs and decisions should be based purely on rationality". Unless your goal is purely quantifiable and free of contradictions, this is actively harmful.

I never once suggested that rationality isn't useful or that resolving some contradictions is useless, I actively stated the reverse, that they are both useful insofar that they actually make the situation better for you, which is absolutely not what rationalism is about.

Rationalism presupposes the supremacy of rationality, which itself cannot be rationally proved.
> Hmm I don't know, some protection exists per NY law according to the article.

Apparently not enough protection given that the judge has given an order for the source to be revealed.

https://www.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.uscourts.nysd.525673...

Apparently the standard here for piercing reporter's privilege is pretty simple:

“The qualified [reporter’s] privilege can be overcome only upon a clear and specific
showing by the party seeking disclosure that the information is: (1) highly material and relevant
to its action; (2) necessary or critical to the claim; and (3) not obtainable from other sources.”

My takeaway from this is that if you think it's likely that a statement you are making to a reporter will be the central subject of a legal action (e.g. if you want to slander someone to a reporter), it is not a safe move.

Of course, this doesn't mean that the investor will prevail overall. But it does seem like the confidential source will have to defend the truthfulness of the material they provided in court. IMO, this is not an entirely unreasonable outcome.
I am not an manager, and this is something that puzzles me too. For an engineer to respect his manager, you expect the manager to be technically competent and in tune with recent technological developments. But as a manger you are most likely to be bit removed from technological changes given that most of the time is spent in meetings, talking, keeping people engaged etc. A few things I can think of but I don't know how effective they could be:

* keep reading technical books, well-known/reputed engineering blogs with the intent of not understanding everything but atlas to get a gist of the technology changes

* be engaged and attend some of the technical discussion meetings (not as an enforcer of some decision) but mostly as a keen observer.
School administrators have to sign up for the program, but T-Mobile offers free hotspots to eligible kids[1].

Although actual internet service is only half the battle. Chromebooks (used by my kid's school and issued/recommended by many districts) just seem to suck at connectivity. Even with a symmetrical 1Gbps internet connection, it was a non-stop battle for the first 2-3 weeks of school. A few things I learned along the way:

- Chromebooks hate dual-band SSIDs. All of the kids were issued different Chromebook models, and this was a universal truth for all of them. Separate SSIDs for 2.4Ghz and 5Ghz is critical.

- Chromebooks hate mesh networks. May not be universally true, but is at least the case for the mesh network created using a standard ATT Fiber gateway and the Airtie extenders they sell[2]. No matter the disparity in signal strength, they'd do their damndest to try to connect to the AP they first connected to.

- Chromebooks hate "wide band" networks (i.e. 40Mhz 2.4Ghz networks and 80Ghz 5Ghz networks). Even in uncrowded airspace, they seem to have problems.

- Chromebooks seem to have decent plug-n-play support for USB ethernet adapters, but mediocre support for USB wifi adapters. Neither of which is found in the official documentation; the only way to have any confidence that a particular dongle/adapter will be supported is to cross-reference the chipset of the adapter with the net drivers in the source code[3].

- It's an oddly common issue for Chromebooks to have loose wifi antennas internally. Probably not in higher-end models, but definitely in the lower-end models issued by schools.

I finally got things working stably, but it was mind-boggling how fussy they are. And many of the issues (such as the first two) only became apparent during live video streams, so it was a constant battle of fiddling with stuff in the evenings and testing it via performance during classes the next day.

With the amount and type of troubleshooting required to get to that point, it's no wonder wifi issues are the prominent complaint.

Right, and there are remedies for people who refuse lawful orders to give up information (contempt of court, which means you're jailed and potentially fined until you comply).
Debate is just a game. Also, this article as just about the grade level of the speech the candidates use, not how their performance would map to the game of debate.
The title doesn't really match the article in my mind. To me, it talks about everything but actually deploying a machine learning model in production. In particular, there are a lot of words around where training data is stored. In my experience, the training data is really more part of the the development process than the actual productionisation of the model.

That said, there is a piece here on TFX, which is valuable in this context. I also think the advice about going with proprietary tools that speed up the process is good. Tools like Microsoft's AI tooling, Dataiku and H20 are good in that context.

I would have liked to have seen some discussion around when you should deploy a model as an API vs generating batch predictions and storing them - I've done both on a test bench, but I don't really know how well the API scales.
What's your proposed idea at the protocol level which solves the "I'll just saturate your pipe with garbage packets" case? That was the Mirai problem and I can't imagine a protocol solution. These are real, fully controlled endpoints.

> Trees are strongest where the forces of nature are not buffered. People are as well.

That may be true of trees and people but it is not true of internet communities. I think you're making a category error. The confrontational style you're talking about requires smaller, more cohesive environments to generate interesting outcomes. On a large, anonymous, open internet forum like HN, it just produces repetitive flamewar, then brain death, then heat death. Since the idea of HN is to be interesting (to the extent possible), we have no choice but to moderate this. I wish it were different—it would be a lot less work.

Usually when someone posts the sort of argument that you did, I have found that it's possible to persuade them to follow the site guidelines once they understand that everything we do follows from trying to optimize for interestingness (https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=true&sor...). It's not about enforcing some tedious moral code. If you decide you buy that and want to use HN as intended in the future, you're welcome to email hn@ycombinator.com and let us know.
Doesn't seem like a good move, when we moved back to Bitbucket cloud from Bitbucket server we lost many essential features and ultimately decided to move to GitHub.

We do still use Jira Cloud but while the UI and search is better the performance is just awful.

Note that they do have a good vscode extension that integrates well with the development workflow, creating branches for tickets, commenting and so on. I use it to see issues, get notifications in vscode for new bugs and transition issues. It's good for viewing basic text but poor for media rich content.

I also use the go-jira unofficial cli tool written in golang which is just a joy to configure and use. It supports a templating system for creating new issues and custom commands to do all kinds of tasks.

Paired with GitHub Issues and PRs vscode extension, this enables me to work in the text editor most of the time.
I am sure the games that work on voters but not on debate judges. One is for example avoiding the real question/topic and talking about something else entirely. Like taking about climate change when asked about education policy. Or bringing up the fact that your opponent used her sexual skills to rise up the ladder.
I wonder how she would work as a clinical psychologist given that she would struggle to empathise with others, which is usually a large part of the job. Maybe making others feel understood can be learnt, but why bother if you don't care. What's the motivation for a psychopath?

I mean I rarely feel guilt either, but I'm not a sociopath.

I am definitely interested in what her upbringing was like and if she has a history of trauma.

Something doesn't add up about her story. It would probably be worth seeing it properly from a third perspective. Like her husband, her broader family that she doesn't mention or the people she works with.
Not really Python as such, it seems, but rather some third party library[1] which promises "generic parsing of dates in almost any string format". This is impossible to do correctly (what is 01/02/03?) and usually a bad idea to attempt.
