The reality of automation in America is that the value created by automation is captured exclusively by the large corporations that own the machines and their senior executives. So whilst the theory is you want automation, in reality it provides only risks to the person whose job you're automating.

You dig deeper and tell everyone what you found. For the laptop story there was nothing to be found.

Verification takes time, when someone dumps a ton of information publicly and exclaims it is true there is no avoiding some people believing it no matter what happens.

If we are afraid about censoring that being transparent about what is censored and verifying it afterwards can help with that.

However I don't think there is a true solve to misinformation. Lies are catchier than the truth after all.
The adjective "deep" came from deep belief networks, which are a variation on restricted boltzmann machines. RBNs have one visible and one hidden layers, DNBs have more hidden layers - hence "deep". So it's not exactly based on a distinction between "deep" and "shallow" models.
Carl Sagan had a good, relevant story in his "Why we need to understand science":

I read it in one of his books, but this is the only good version I can find online.

PDF: http://plaza.ufl.edu/trishak/Carl%20Sagan%20-%20Why%20We%20N...

>> From Parade Magazine, September 10, 1989 – As I got off the plane, he was waiting for me, holding up a sign with my name on it. I was on my way to a conference of scientists and TV broadcasters, and the organizers had kindly sent a driver.

>> "Do you mind if I ask you a question?" He said as we waited for my bag. "Isn't it confusing to have the same name as that science guy?"

>> It took me a moment to understand. Was he pulling my leg? "I am that science guy," I said. He smiled. "Sorry. That's my problem. I thought it was yours too." He put out his hand. "My name is William F. Buckley." (Well, his name wasn't exactly William F. Buckley, but he did have the name of a contentious TV interviewer, for which he doubtless took a lot of good-natured ribbing.)

>> As we settled into the car for the long drive, he told me he was glad I was "that science guy" -- he had so many questions to ask about science. Would I mind? And so we got to talking. But not about science. He wanted to discuss UFOs, "channeling" (a way to hear what's on the minds of dead people -- not much it turns out), crystals, astrology ... He introduced each subject with real enthusiasm, and each time I had to disappoint him: "The evidence is crummy," I kept saying. "There's a much simpler explanation." As we drove on through the rain, I could see him getting glummer. I was attacking not just pseudoscience but also a facet of his inner life.

>> And yet there is so much in real science that's equally exciting, more mysterious, a greater intellectual challenge--as well as being a lot closer to the truth. Did he know about the molecular building blocks of life sitting out there in the cold tenuous gas between the stars? Had he heard of the footprints of our ancestors found in 4-mil-lion-year-old volcanic ash? What about the raising of the Himalayas when India went crashing into Asia? Or how viruses subvert cells, or the radio search for extraterrestrial intelligence or the ancient civilization of Ebla? Mr. "Buckley" -- well-spoken, intelligent, curious -- had heard virtually nothing of modem science. He wanted to know about science. It's just that all the science got filtered out before it reached him. What the society permitted to trickle through was mainly pretense and confusion. And it had never taught him how to distinguish real science from the cheap imitation.
Interestingly I avoided injury by a Tesla which was approaching the intersection I was crossing and the driver was distracted. I heard the tire screech and looked over to see a driver clearly panicked both because they realized they nearly hit someone and there phone was now nowhere to be found.

That is a great thing.

But what if someone inside of TESLA, the folks who write the software and send it over the air to your car, decided to add their own "feature" to the car such that they could override the safety system with a network packet, or a text message to the car. That person would be in a position to tell the car to ignore its safety systems and kill its occupant.

It is kind of a staple of dystopian fiction, but now that we're getting closer to having that software out there in real time, the question becomes less fiction and more "What would have to be true for that to happen?"

The change here is cars that are always connected to the Internet and have command authority over all of the systems in the car. Before if you wanted to alter the software controlling a car you took it to a dealer, or a mod-shop, but now it just shows up in your car. What sort of insider threat programs does Tesla have? What sort of controls are their on releases? Do third parties have any opportunity to audit everything in the code? What happens if Elon orders an employee to put some code in? Do they do it? Do they report it?

And not to pick on Tesla here, the same goes for GM/Cruise and Waymo right? ALL self driving systems that are currently in development have full control of the car, an always connected component, and a dynamic software update capability. Should it be required they also have a mechanical switch that forces manual control without any means of circumventing the switch in software? That would have to come as a government regulation right? And then what happens when someone steals the Waymo van by throwing the switch and driving away with it?

Hopefully that gives you a sense of where my head is here in these questions.

Actually, at least in Germany the physicians you saw are still proper educated and certified doctors. They also are typically grounded very much on fundamental health education (although I'm certain there are exceptions). Many of them I suspect are using the whole alternative medicine more as an advertisement or a distinguishing factor, and the main thing they do might be prescripe acupuncture instead of pain meds. At least that was the experience I had when I went to one (I didn't seek him out specifically, it was just the closest one where I could get an appointment quickly).
Apologies for being rude, but that’s just nonsense. What ‘good defaults’ does graphql give you?
That's my point. AP doesn't decide who won the election.
I think you raise a good point here, but one that is essentially invalidated by years of journalism that's mostly funded and managed by people with a lot of interest in the political discourse.

Very little of "the press" or "journalism" that reaches the true majority of people can be considered much more than entertainment television. Not only that, they have very clear goals, partisan alignments, and deals to own up to.

My point being, this picture of "the press" is not new nor is it simple to unravel, especially because a lot of the coverage we see, and how it's done, depends on a multitude of factors.

Let's take, for example, your point about the Hunter Biden story and let's allow ourselves to conjecture for a moment.

In a "press" state such as the one I described above, a big part of the "news media" is running amok with the story regardless of having little to no evidence to back it up.
On the other hand, the world is still spinning and news that are noteworthy are still coming out. One might even say people should know about these things.

What's one to do in face of such situation? Do we expect that the "news media" devote all focus to arguing the conspiracy theory, which will most likely boost the conversation around it, or should we expect the "news media" to focus on things that can actually be proven, assessed, researched?

Of course, this is one narrow example that only scratches the surface of something that, like I said, is very complex. But I do believe that, considering the current environment, it's more harmful to debate the conspiracy stories than to ignore them. Consider any other conspiracy theory that you ever heard of. Would it be beneficial for anyone to have constant debate on television about whether or not the Earth is round, or if men have been to the Moon, etc.
The general antipathy toward Trump though is not based on policy grounds, but rather his whole way of being. His casual disregard for truth and flagrant mendacity, his blinding narcissism, his disdain for international cooperation, etc.

Even if, as a progressive, you find Biden milquetoast and uninspiring, he at least isn’t an embarrassment to the office and to the country.

Confluence going on cloud is much worse than Jira, as working with Confluence depends on multiple frequent successive edits whereas Jira is usually just "visit one page, do one task". On-prem Confluence is as good as working in Microsoft Word -- a desktop application experience -- while Cloud is like working in Windows 3.1, with a little hourglass cursor to wait for between every action you take. I'm glad I never migrated my notes to Confluence.

Also, they're going to lose secure government contracts with this, because Data Center is way above the size of a project team.

Well, at least the binary (x32!, if you can believe that) driver basically works, but no duplex... which is sad because I bought said printer because it had the duplex capability :/
That's a bit strong for what Gelman said. I'm a big fan of Gelman (and learned from his books!), but he specifically mentioned that both Gelman et al's Model and 538's Model did indeed capture the outcomes in their probability distributions, but that to improve performance going forward it was much better to predict closer to the median than closer to the tails. (And funny enough, Gelman gave 538 some grief earlier on making a model with very wide tails.) This is a nuanced but very fair criticism, and taking a Twitter-style summary of it I think is overly reductionist.
A lot of what you are describing exists in Plan 9:

Under Plan 9, UNIX's everything is a file metaphor is extended via a pervasive network-centric filesystem, and the cursor-addressed, terminal-based I/O at the heart of UNIX-like operating systems is replaced by a windowing system and graphical user interface without cursor addressing, although rc, the Plan 9 shell, is text-based.

Many of the ideas from Plan 9 were implemented as user space programs on a variety of Unix-like operating systems:

Plan 9 from User Space provides many of the ideas, applications, and services from Plan 9 on Unix-like systems. It runs on FreeBSD (x86, x86-64), Linux (x86, x86-64, PowerPC and ARM), Mac OS X (x86, x86-64, and PowerPC), NetBSD (x86 and PowerPC), OpenBSD (x86 and PowerPC), Dragonfly BSD (x86-64), and SunOS (x86-64 and Sparc).

How does HN feel about the call from AOC to compile lists of those who supported or worked for or aligned with the Trump administration (https://nypost.com/2020/11/06/aoc-facing-heat-for-wanting-to...). Former Obama administration staffer Michael Simon said that he is gathering the names of anyone who supported Trump in the 2016 and 2020 election, and has created a project for this (https://mobile.twitter.com/trumpaccproject).

This seems like the logical end of cancel culture and deplatforming, which is to assemble a list of people and organizations to target or shame or blacklist. I find this to be a very disagreeable suggestion given that people simply are exercising their constitutional and political rights and this furthers division, encourages extremism, and has a chilling silencing effect on civil discourse.

To me this reeks of authoritarian Leftism, like the violence seen in past revolutions in China or Russia. There is also a great deal of irony as well, since AOC and her supporters are certainly not calling for a blacklist of Marxists, despite Marxism being the cause of over 100M deaths in the 20th century.
I design audio electronics circuits. I think what makes it is mostly:

* high bandwidth.

* over a high dynamic range.

* with a high sensitivity over directionality and pitch changes.

Our ears are exceptional things, and as social animals they are far more important to decoding extremely subtle cues in our surrounding voices and the voice of those talking to us than we probably are aware of.

The thing with audio is, that in the end you still have to move air. And you have to do so without having your vibrating thing breaking after a week. Mechanical reliability is hard while still maintaining these specs. Audio electronics is sensitive to inaccurate power layouts, trace layouts etc.
I see the conspiracy theories as substitutes for more concrete reasons why people feel so divided and under attack. Recalling back to research done on conflicts between groups, the most strongest way tensions and fear are created is when people displays different symbols representing difference in values, unclear and uncertain definitions of identities and groups, and large difference in social and economic status being highly visible and displayed. Get people afraid with a strong dose of us vs them and people will latch onto any theory that will explain that emotional state regardless if some are true and some are false.

The best way to meet in the middle would be to do the opposite to those triggers and then talk to them.

There is, of course, actual smoke on the Russia issue.

- It's unambiguously true that Russia helped Trump get elected in 2016. Even the Republican Senate acknowledges this.

- Trump's campaign had various (documented) unsavoury links with Russia.

- Mueller didn't clear Trump of collusion with Russia, and indeed stated that the (clear) obstruction prevented a full investigation of the topic.

- Trump himself has been extraordinarily soft on Russia, while burning relationships with traditional allies.

- Trump is also pretty effusive in his praise of Putin - dictator of a geopolitical enemy and all-round bad dude.

None of this is speculative - it's all backed up by the facts. This is not to say that Trump is a KGB asset, but it's not hard to see why people might see indications in that direction and take it a step too far. Honestly my personal view is it's highly unlikely - if he was a Russian asset it's likely our intelligence agencies would have known in advance and done something about it. Personally my view is simply that Trump wishes to be an autocrat, and admires other autocrats.

The Q stuff, the Bill Gates microchip stuff, on the other hand, is just completely out of left field.
I don't think it's as black and white as you say. "I won the presidency" could, in theory, be a true statement, even if it comes before the counting is complete and we haven't yet determined its veracity. "There was fraud" could, in fact, be true, even if the evidence to prove it is not forthcoming.

Ultimately, Twitter censors things it doesn't think are healthy for its platform. I think that's within its rights, but I don't think it's by any means objective.
From the study:

It was found that there was a linear relationship
(Pnon-linearity = 0.242) between BMI and the risk
of critical COVID-19

They seem to mean that the log odds ratio is a linear function of BMI. This just can't be true. Sufficiently low BMI has to be bad, not good.

Figures 7 and 8 in the paper actually show a near-constant risk from BMI of 18 to BMI of about 27. The good results for BMI of 18, which is pretty definitely underweight, actually seem rather dubious, on the basis of past studies (see my blog post at https://radfordneal.wordpress.com/2020/04/06/body-mass-and-r...). But in any case, there is clearly no reason to think that risk goes down linearly as BMI gets smaller than about 27, and there's little reason to think it goes up linearly above that either, considering the very small number of data points.
A lot of "witches" and heretics tortured and executed in medieval times probably didnt do much wrong
I’m not familiar with those solutions in particular.

For type safety, many backend frameworks generate OpenAPI specs automatically, and you can generate Typescript stubs based on this. Ditto for gRPC and gRPC web. We use these.

But I’ve not seen a replacement for the “application data graph” (but would be interested to learn about them!). The link from @jefflombardjr [0] explains it nicely - it is a great abstraction (in certain situations). Modelling your application data graph is like modelling a good database schema - when you get it right, the rest of the application follows naturally. It’s magical when it works, and I’d happily do it even if it’s just me working on the project.

And GraphQL has a great ecosystem, that is the advantage over niche tools. Example - last week we added auto-generated GraphQL types and relationships for Postgres JSON fields, with the help of [1]. No more malformed JSON breaking our app.

Note this is all in the context of a web app. Reading other comments, the tooling seems to be less developed on other platforms. And again, without decent tooling (especially for the server) I wouldn’t touch it.

You're right that in Germany the Nazi problem is now negligible, but the real problem we face is extreme Islamofascist groups (to use Macron's words). In France, Macron banned the Gray Wolves, a Turkish ultra-nationalist group.

But Germany faces a very big problem with the Turkish-nationalist population. Probably more of a threat than France, given that the Turkish population in Germany is upwards of 9%. Even Turkish-German politicians are now calling for a ban on the Gray Wolves and other such extreme organizations (see https://www.msn.com/en-za/news/other/german-lawmakers-urge-b...).

While this ban may go through, the problem of radical Islam will remain a persistent threat in Europe.

I don't know that there's any clear-cut way to avoid extremism while also preserving freedom.

I’d say Trump tapped into the sentiment of conspiracy theories by adding many of his own.

But in Europe, America have always been bigger and crazier, so it’s not a big surprise to hear about the conspiracy theories.

Hopefully the US can now move forward in a positive and constructive way, but the two-party system does seem to get in the way of improving things. Either you’re for or against, without any real middle ground.

If Biden can overcome that he is already on his way to become a great president.

Why not?
What is coverage of the Hunter Biden story supposed to say? Rudy Guiliani claims he has a laptop that has some emails but refuses to produce the laptop. There is no way a news organization can verify the claims, and the claim itself is just hearsay.

The reason it hasn't been covered is because there is nothing a news organization can publish about it. Fox News passed on it. It is most likely simply bullshit.
You cannot hold the media accountable for the lies of republicans? Modern media is profit-based and just reports on who said what. Unfortunately, this is not enough to keep people informed. And nobody can claim absolute truth anyways, though facts do exist and need to be recognized.
