>> Especially when the training has nothing to do with military matters (...)

> This assertion is patently false.

I am referring to the use of "Lets convince our OWN civilian population that wolves are a threat by impersonating our own government" - This is so far out of military matters that it is absurd that it is used as a training aid. Why is the military using training aids (that are theoretical and never supposed to be implemented remember) based on targetting their own civilian general population.

This should not be the role of the military, it should not even be in the list of aids. If you have to have stuff like that then at least make the training aids focus on psyops against populations of probable adversaries.
What is an activation function in a neural network?
Every time that sort of thing has happened to me it's been because there's some grand plan to build out more features that the people on the frontline don't know about. The plan rarely materializes but the idea that the foundation should be built in a way that supports it isn't completely stupid.

This obviously works when the image is "scaled" by sampling/nearest-neighbor (e.g. downscaling 2x by taking every second pixel and discarding the rest), not actually scaled through some better method (by doing math that involves all pixel values).

What the article doesn't mention, and the paper it links to probably mentions somewhere alongside so much irrelevant information that I couldn't find it yet, is whether this also works on some of the better scaling algorithms, and thus whether it's a "duh, OBVIOUSLY" or actually interesting research.

The blog post gives a cv2.resize example which seems to default to "bilinear", but I'm not sure what this means for downscaling, in particular for downscaling by a large factor.

I suspect that the key takeaway is "default downscaling methods are bad".

> These were celebrities who seemingly had everything to live for, and still chose death as a way out.

It seems like common knowledge being a celebrity is not easy, and if you write about Japanese subculture, you should know it's even harder in Japan as it's a society which can foster a lot of shame if you mess up.
A few more, if I didn't just miss them:

- That every place has an address. Some countries like Mongolia don't. Many countries don't have reliable addresses.

- That addresses follow the "number street city" format. In Germany the street comes before the number

- That street names are unique within a city.

- That door numbers are contiguous and zig zag from one end of a street to another. In Germany they sometimes go in a loop, starting on one side, and returning on the other. Unless they don't.

I'd guess it's more that in that time, the amount of incrimination and accusation you could have in a society before you had a civil war on your hands was lower. So you had more civil wars, but it also pushed people to stay quiet more. I think the reason we have so much criticism nowadays is how relatively limited the consequences are.
It's definitely neat that it works that way, but I don't really see it as a problem.
Sigh, I feel like we need new words for all the modern horrors.

The point of the benchmark is to benchmark serial loops and automatic SIMD of the compilers, so no, parallelizing it doesn't make sense. In fact, Julia has native multithreaded and distributed parallelism (which can utilize MPI for the interconnects). It would be a separate test that would test native distributed parallelism, and that's not a very interesting test though since any language with these same constructs (so Julia, C++, Fortran) will all end up bandwidth limited at the same speed. This is something to give as a homework problem to students though since it's easy to demonstrate and teaches how to use the parallel constructs.

> divorced from what the psychologists are actually saying

Let me throw out the possibility that what the psychologists are saying, and the nth-hand version that teachers pick up and teach to the kids, may differ on key details. I don't think it's even rare for high-minded ideas to be garbled by the time they trickle down into classrooms. Feynman had amusing/dismaying stories about what made it into science textbooks, for example (and textbooks are theoretically written by the experts): https://rangevoting.org/FeynTexts.html
It depends on what's going on. JIT compilers have more information to optimize on so they can do surprising things. For example, FFI calls into shared libraries is generally faster with fast JIT languages.

https://github.com/dyu/ffi-overhead

This is one reason why you could see Julia outperforming Fortran in some cases where the FFI speed matters. But Fortran does have easier aliasing analysis (because you can't alias) so that helps there, but other than that most of the compiler passes are pretty much the same.

There is no demo or instructions on how to run it, and nothing linked that I could find.

I tried to use it locally after cloning the repo and gave up after spending some time trying to figure out how to start it as a node app. `npm start` didn't work. Just serving the contents of the `public` directory doesn't work either. This might be obvious to someone familiar with Node apps, but of course not everyone works on front-end web development.

It would really help if the developers added a couple of lines to their README explaining how to run this software.

It’s not stupid, no, but a “supporting foundation” is a largely just a seductive metaphor. It says, “Clearly software is like a building. Every building needs a solid foundation.” It doesn’t inspire engagement with other metaphors, like considering software to be a tree that must be grown incrementally and as a product of dynamic forces. It doesn’t map knowledge from the building domain to knowledge in the software domain.

I’m not sure “Schelling point” is the right term for places that have become hubs of particular industries because of their well-known connections to people and organizations in those industries. This isn’t quite the same as the tacit coordination Schelling discussed in The Strategy of Conflict (his 1960 book on game theory), in which participants have to make a common choice without being able to communicate.

That said, other U.S. examples include Los Angeles for motion pictures and television, Nashville for music, Houston for oil and gas, Phoenix for semiconductors, Sioux Falls for credit cards, and San Diego for triathlon.
Maybe Wayland is solving that, I really don't know. However I don't need them. What I need is screen sharing in Slack, Meet and TeamViewer and that works with X. I also occasionally need Skype, Webex, Zoom, Jitsi and Teams. They also work with X. I'm confident that any random system my customers throw at me will work with X if it's advertised to work on Linux. Not so much if I were running Wayland.

If X would stop working this morning I'm afraid I'll have to go back to Windows, after 11 years, and use WSL2. Not a future I'm looking forward to and not something I'd thank the Wayland community for.

Fear of losing money if you pay the ransom or if you don't pay the ransom? They certainly don't want to make you fear paying the ransom, because that would mean you won't pay and they wouldn't profit.

Fear of losing money if you don't pay the ransom: yes. But this could sort of apply to many salespeople, marketers, negotiators. They want to make it sound very good to take the deal and very bad (yes, maybe scary) to not take the deal.

The way the fear is targeted between ransomware and terrorism is also quite different. Terrorism wants the general public to be scared. Ransomware doesn't want the general public to be scared, because that would lead to people patching their systems, reducing future profit opportunities.
How many microhitlers per click?
A good starting point to explaining reducers is that you are reducing two things into one.

A redux reducer:
The action and the current state reduce into the new state.
And of course it doesn't matter how many reducers or combined reducers your state uses - they're all ultimately just doing this.

This also works for Array.prototype.reduce(). You're reducing two things into one.

Ask HN: How to gain initial traction for bootstrapped startup?
I am creating a product in the e-commerce space that helps sellers boost sales and avoid fraud. After reading so much around talking to customers first, I am trying to reach out to merchants. However, most people either never repsond or don't even want to share their email ids. My questions are -

1. As a bootstrapped founder, how did you get traction?

2. Reddit seems to be banning all sorts of posts due to low points on account to survey to just saying not relevant.

Frankly, it seems like unless you someone or power figure, it is very hard to get off ground.

I will submit to product hunt, but again that seems like after building at least MVP. How do I get pre-MVP problem space valiation if people are not even responding?

It's a matter of degree, isn't it? At some point there's clearly a threshold of unacceptable behavior right?

The trick is to have that threshold be at a "reasonable" level. That's tricky and has room for error, but it doesn't mean it's not worth doing.

Note that my original response was to this statement: "As I see it, a CoC is a tool for those in power to better exert their influence and control."

We need guidelines for group activities, and they need to evolve as we learn more about the world, and framing this as a tool for power tripping is "the elites".

From the article, it appears that the "rules" were not well communicated and/or were poorly enforced. Blaming it on having a CoC vs. a person making poor choices is what I'm pushing back against.
it is a luxury of modern times. Century and more ago only upper classes were having debates/arguments/discussions because only they had the option to try to control their fate by trying to win those debates (and those white males had less diverse set of opinions then we have in the society today). The rest of society was consumed in daily grit for survival, they had no impact on decisions and whatever decisions were taken it was for them akin to a weather or geological events. These days everybody can participate, thanks to economic development and communication tools and especially social media. Though not everybody has sufficiently trained mental toolset to handle it.

>Everyone is so hostile and eager to end other people.

Couple centuries ago disagreement could easily end up as a duel resulting in a death and losing a political fight may have had more severe consequences than just losing an elected office. These days usually only ego is damaged. And even that - in the current environment criticism is equaled with harassment (so egos are safe and happily growing large and larger...) Thus as a result in particular proliferation of alternative facts, etc. Kind of multiverse of quantum mechanics.

That is a temporary solution, AOT with CoreRT will be done by .NET 6 (postponed from 5 due to Corona impact on development).
We run about 10 Kubernetes clusters, and each cluster comes with our company's 'kernel'. That kernel includes an HA Prometheus deployment of two replicas and all the monitoring components that to with it.

The 2TB of data is what we have stored across all those Prometheus instances. We use thanos as the entry point that Grafana speaks to, so you get aggregated results.

Thanos as a querier is very simple to setup, and is very low maintenance. We have intended to configure long term storage using the GCS backend for years now, but sadly this project always ended up losing to other (genuinely!) more impactful work.

We hope to do this within the next 6 months though, and reckon the project will take about 2 weeks of our teams time.

For the monitoring angle then, I can recommend Prometheus and thanos as very easy systems to configure. Even for a small team with no prior experience, you'll probably have a good time.

The one to watch out for is Elasticsearch, as that is a fundamentally more complex system in which you plan to store much more data. Loki looks much easier to setup and benefits from the Grafana ecosystem integration, if you're looking for a shorter/cheaper/less featureful option.

I always thought of cancel culture as people facing "consequences" for their opinions, rather than their actions. Although I guess the can also be applied fairly innocuous actions that don't cause much (or any) harm.

The common thing with both is that it has people make mountains out of molehills. How can you trust someone that is willing to damage someone's life for something that small or non-existent, especially if it is just an opinion. They could easily come for you if they don't like something you say or do.

According to the DMCA, the entity that files a counter notice consents to jurisdiction of the US district court of their residence. If not a resident of the US, jurisdiction is the district where the service provider is located. Once a counter notice is filed, one cannot argue the law doesn't apply because of lack of jurisdiction.

> What's the library or design pattern to consume a REST API in React or any of the mainstream front-end frameworks?

For React, its out of scope; anything that you can use in JS for this can be used. If you are using a state management library, that's probably more relevant to your selection here than React is.

REST is also too open-ended for a complete low-friction solution, but, e.g., if its swagger/openapi, there's tools that will do almost the entire thing for you with little more than the spec.

BUT basecamp libraries (turbolinks, stimulus) are horrible open source libraries. There are not any changes or bug fixes for months now (for both) and nobody does know whats the actual state, whether they are abandoned or basecamp is working on something new. Then hey.com released and people found new features in both frameworks, so one day they will release (again) completely reworked versions of these libraries they have been working on in their private repositories.

Both libraries are really good together, but they would be better if developed more open by the community. They are basically abandonware the day they are released, until one day a complete rewrite and major version bump is released.
