> Which is exactly why I prefer formal query languages over NLP queries.

People like to reference Star Trek for stuff like NLP queries, but if you go back to TNG and pay close attention to the verbal queries to the computer, much of the time it isn't natural language. They seem to actually use some sort of formal query language that fits English a bit closer, but is still distinct from when the characters speak to each other.

There is a difference between "credit credit cards" and "debit credit cards". Debit credit cards are a bad idea for consumers because of those 22% as well as liabilities when being victim of a crime. But yes, many people treat the limit of those debit credit cards as a way of having money. It isn't though.
I still often use a phone call (or sms) for takeaway. It's faster than using an app or website if you already know what you want, and usually cheaper, since there is no middle-man.

For delivery, I agree. It is easier and faster to use a service, since my address and payment information are already saved.

Motivation and direction are important when starting out. I decided pretty early on that I wanted to be an algebraist, but would have to build some mathematical maturity before I could get there, so I had a rather shallow goal in the beginning: to be able to solve the previous years' math GRE papers. Off the top of my head, these were some of the books that I worked through:

1. Spivak's Calculus.

2. Johnstone's Notes on Set Theory and Logic.

3. Gamelin's Complex Analysis.

4. Hoffman & Kunz' Linear Algebra.

5. Dummit & Foote's Abstract Algebra; just the group theory.

6. Munkres' Topology; just the general topology.

Once I was happy with my preparation, I strived for a deeper understanding of Group Theory. I bumbled through Herstein, but didn't understand it very well. Then, I stumbled upon Artin's book, and worked through it using the outline provided on the MIT OCW course page, and I could confidently solve most of the exercises.

For category theory, the top resources that I would recommend are:

1. Mileweski's Category Theory for Programmers, the video lecture series. As is always the case with video lectures, this one can help motivate a Haskell programmer uninitiated in category theory.

2. Goldblatt's Topoi. It's fairly dated, but teaches category theory well, via its application to topoi.

3. MacLane's CatWork. I'm not especially fond of this one, but it's necessary to work through it.

The most important thing to understand when learning category theory is that it cannot be learnt in a vacuum: the subject is entirely vacuous, and you need to use it in other mathematical disciplines to give it meaning.

Good luck.

As a web developer, I ran a small experiment and hired some web developers to create an e-commerce site for some handcrafted items (I hate Etsy & Squarespace and wanted my own bespoke store).

I inspected the code they were pushing out and it largely relied on templates and what seemed like copy-and-pasted code from different sources on the net, and an over reliance on Javascript libraries to do all the grunt work, so the site only worked with Javascript leaving out a small percentage of people who enjoy their privacy with JS disabled.

Also: they were not handcrafting the structure of the store, instead deciding to use some plugin called Woocommerce which has loads of security issues and they weren't even updating it when patches have been released.

In all, it's worth reversing your role and seeing how others pump out code and projects because you understand the details and mechanics of how everything works, and can make something much better just by looking at some examples of other's work.

That's right. Out of ~18,000 people total across 3 countries (UK, South Africa and Brazil), there have been 3 reported events requiring a pause, of which two involved people who got the real vaccine and one who got the placebo.

Keep in mind they pause anytime anything serious happens to anyone in the trial to give them time to make sure the vaccine didn't cause it. Pauses are a good thing - they are a sign they are following the protocols and not just pushing something through.
Wayland’s mistake is assuming every application has a local GPU.

It would interesting to see some data on CEOs that were fired, at what stage and the eventual outcome for the company. My guess is that firing a founder-CEO before the Series B stage rarely leads to a positive long-term outcome.
> If your neural net (haven't actually met anyone who uses these in trading) takes 5ms to make a prediction that'll lock you out of a whole lot of trading opportunities/strategies.

Let's say you have trading opportunities once every 100ms. They need to be acted upon within 2ms or they vanish.

You don't have the time budget to run a NNet every time the state of the market changes. You can, however, train a NNet to output a very small decision tree that can run in under 1ms. The NNet can then decide which "micro-strategy" in the form of a much faster and more reactive decision tree is more appropriate for the current market context.

I think that paints an overly romantic picture of being a doctor. In reality you have to work with a bureaucratic health system where there's never enough time for each patient. Also patients might not be as willing to cooperate as you wish (as an example I recently read about cholesterol medication where many doctors advised a healthy lifestyle opposed to medication but many patients just weren't willing or able to change theirs but prefer medication). Getting patients to smile is certainly satisfying but it's also not that easy.

The median wealth in the US is $70k. The ratio is more like 1/100,000 for your average billionare, and 1/10,000,000 for zuckerberg, gates, and bezos. In this scheme 1/99 would be downright communistic.
the software magic "just" takes raw images and make something with it.
photographers prefer retaining the raws and do the something themselves on a fast computer.

Now, there's some good use cases for it but I guess the tradeoff hasn't been worth it so far. E.g. having some processing options in camera can speed up your workflow (but then again all the "toys" like this are removed from pro cameras because most people didn't use them). Also, the same magic Apple or Google use doesn't really exist outside of their phones (yet at least, I assume Adobe is working on this).

There's also some obstacles that I know of:

- bigger sensor, slower readout, slower sensor processing

- much bigger raw, needs big expensive CPU, heating problems

- hiring engineers that can do this (it took a long time for Apple to catch up to Google f.e.)
Apple Card is 1% cash back on all purchases, 2% if you use Apple Pay, 3% if you shop at Apple (and a couple others now). It as Apple Cash so it can be used anyway you use Apple Pay (or just on your statement, I think). It’s not the best card but it’s decent.
Thanks for the mention! I'm the founder of browserless.io, and agree with pretty much everything you're saying.

Our infrastructure actually does procedure for some of our scraping needs: we scrape puppeteer's GH documentation page to build out our debugger's autocomplete tool. To do this, we "goto" the page, extract the page's content, and then hand it off to nodejs libraries for parsing. This has two benefits: it cuts down the time you have the browser open and running, and let's you "offload" some of that work to your back-end with more sophisticated libraries. You get the best of both worlds with this approach, and it's one we generally recommend to folks everywhere. Also a great way that we "dogfood" our own product as well :)

This is essentially the question raised by the Fermi Paradox.

https://www.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fermi_paradox
The facts are blatantly obvious, " the climate models are not yet correct * but this is the lie that they are trying to stuff down your throats so humanity can pull it out as an excuse later, you can pretend to believe in it, before computer climate models the math was correct, the reports were correct, and every bell curve and distribution graph showed this, but the scientists who done those calculations still bought a new car, filled it each week, went on holiday, what happened to leading by example? they still supported a system hell bent on destruction that increased the escalating and unprecedented climate effects for all of mankind, this has been proven in the media for 40 years, the energy company's have had this info since the 70's, now are you reading this, because every one of you who are, thi is my question to you, are you genuine? or are you here to pretend? to inflate your own ego because you want to look down on people by pretending your morally superior, but really you are as false and shallow as those you look down on, because I think everyone of you supports this forthcoming catastrophe not just in someway but many ways, if you have the balls tell me what you do and how you don't, but I guarantee most that read this will not have a leg to stand on apart from that false leg riddled with lies that has two faces, you are all more worried trying to look good in comparison to your peers, and more worried about what people think of you than the truth, for evil to survive all it takes is for good men to do nothing, and it looks from where i'm sitting there are no good men left. you all will still comment on other similar story's pretending to yourselves that you have a heart, truth be told, you are all a joke, a joke to yourselves to the future, to your children, and if there is a god, a joke to him as well.

There's a very disturbing difference between the gay rights movement and the current social justice people.

In the case of a gay marriage, a small minority was directly affected by a tangible and quantifiable problem: not being able to have the same legal status as straight families. It wasn't about taking something from the majority, or guilt-tripping others. So adopting what they asked for had a net-positive effect: straight people were unaffected, while the gays got perks previously unavailable to them.

The current trends are different. Climate change and social justice issues don't personally affect most the people who are vocal about it. Interestingly, most of them do have one thing in common: lack of highly marketable skills or professional weight. Most of them are priced out of property ownership or retirement. Many are depressed to a point where they cannot find anyone to make family with (in my experience, strong marriages boil down to having common constructive interests, working on the same goal together and relying on each other). Except, they are not addressing the quantifiable problems. Instead, their fury got redirected to much broader problems that are almost impossible to quantify or address in a measurable way. So now it's a fight with no winning, it keeps people busy blowing their steam off at random strangers who dare to disagree with them, but all it does in the long term is increases the divisiveness of the society and makes fear and anger the new normal.
> If Congress wants to effect change, they can literally write new laws

An existing law says CBP must answer questions from Congress, but they're simply not complying.

How would writing any new law fix that? It doesn't matter what any new laws states, CBP can just continue to not follow them.
"The difference is while few people would claim social media companies are in any way a credible source of truth"

Many, many people in my area regard social media as a credible source of truth. I know that people don't think much of the people where I live, and that comes from the lack of good educational opportunities afforded them out here in flyover country. But these people get to vote too. They get to participate in society as well. I guess I mean that they count. You can't say there is no one who claims social media is credible, when it is obvious there are millions who are swayed by social media precisely because it is credible in their view.

In fact, if a story is only on social media, it's proof of the story's validity in their eyes. If the mainstream media won't run a story they found on social media, then it must be part of a conspiracy to keep the "truth" from getting out. I hear this narrative everyday in my area of the midwest.

On the bright side though, I'm hoping that the mere existence of rocketcrab may inspire more developers to build even more diverse mobile web party games. Without rocketcrab, not only do you have to design and develop a game, it will be all for nothing if you can't find players to play your game, which is tough! The idea is that adding your game to rocketcrab will help it find an audience! if that makes sense :)

Also I have a giant list of mobile web party games that I want to try to add but haven't had the time. If anyone wants to give it a shot, rocketcrab PRs are open ;D

His approach in the past has been that nobody ever knows his character's name before the interview starts.

During Da Ali G Show, people would be told it was a BBC production, or given the name of a production company, and everything would be set up and the interview subject ready to go before Cohen would enter the room. The point was to make it difficult for the subject to just get up and walk away.

I've heard decent things about put.io for the remote side of things, then using `rclone move` [1] to pull the content down at frequent intervals (put.io doesn't show the files till they're done downloading so no worries of pulling half files)

I realise this isn't quite what you've asked for but the direct answer would be to set up either a VPN or a proxy yourself, of which I have no suggestions or recommendations software/host-wise
Maybe so. It depends on the business, as well as the management culture. If the business demands 100% attention 9–5 (or more) and is at risk of failing otherwise, or if management is gung-ho about “getting their money’s worth” out of programmers, then it can’t happen. Where I worked, it was understood this was an avenue to higher productivity, and it paid itself off many times, not the least of which was the contribution to higher retention.
One of the goals of pre trials is to establish that negative effects, if there are any, aren't caused by other factors other than the drug itself.

That's true, although I've also seen scraping fail because it was being too precise – looking for something at a particular point in the DOM tree because the parser encourages things like XPaths or CSS selectors, where a regex would have been less brittle _for that use-case_.

For me this just highlights why it's important that engineers understand at some basic what these different things all mean, and what limitations you may have with your solutions, or even those you may want.

>The article suggests that the VC is in an infallible position

I'm not sure where you get this angle from? I read it as several points of evidence that the author uses to identify a bad CEO, that don't seem to have much to do with the VC at all, let alone comparing the VC as superior in any way against the CEO directly.

From the article:

>the CEO has failed to manage numerous important challenges, when the senior leadership team has been a revolving door, when the CEO has messed up important relationships with customers, employees, and other important stakeholders, when the organization has become toxic as a result of the CEO’s abrasive personality
You don't get it. Developing vaccines is nothing like making cars. Our understanding of how the human body works is comical compared to our understanding of materials science and engineering, design and other aspects of making cars.

Developing vaccines is a long, treacherous journey on a narrow ledge with cliffs on either side from start to finish. Infectious diseases research has seen a sharp decline in funding and commercial interest in general. Because of how little we know about the body, most research doesn't generate results that can be turned into money. The only way to continue to support research is via public funds and grants. The public funding of science has been a major contributing factor for our advancements in this kind of research.

Mostly agreed. However with, bipolar disorder for example, I'm not sure that the problems with our society are the root cause ... though I suppose perhaps increased pollutants might cause more issues with children/birth.

But still, my point is I don't believe 100% of mental health issues have the dysfunctions in our society as their root cause.

For me, the thing that killed voice commands had nothing to do with speech technology. It was latency and error handling.

At the start of my morning commute, I would say, "Ok Google, navigate to work".

Often, this would fail because I was in the network limbo area outside my house, where my phone struggles to transition from home WiFi to data.

Worst of all: The failure would be horribly slow. I would have to drive for another 30s before my phone realized, yes, we are really out of WiFi range now. And the voice command wouldn't be auto-retried. I would have to tell my phone again. It didn't remember.

I added one-touch "Home" and "Work" Google Maps widgets to my home screen and never looked back.

As an engineer, I realize why this is a tricky problem. As a consumer, I want it to "just work".
