recently, a lot of neural network models, especially those in NLP (like GPT-3, BERT, etc.) use "attention" which basically is a way for neural networks to focus on certain subset of the input (the neural network can focus its "attention" to a particular part of the input). Explanations just refers to ways for explaining the predictions of the neural networks.
I think his soundtrack to Scorsese's Kundun is also excellent programming background music, I've listened to that soundtrack from beginning to end countless times.
I agree with the first part. But you can have high standards, call out incompetence and fire people without being an asshole (or without being perceived as one). A good example is Ray Dalio.

The thing is, Elon Musk is emotionally immature. He's extremely thin-skinned and narcissistic. He likes to take revenge. There's a difference between firing someone because it will help the project and doing it because you're angry and it will make you feel good.
Holocracy is amazing in the short term, after the adjustment period. And might work forever in the non profit space.

But eliminating managers cuts out the promotion paths for people in a large organization, and after a couple years it becomes a big problem.
If you have a device that tries to use sidewalk, you could put tinfoil around the device or desauter the bluetooth chip/900mhz radio (and hope the device works without them in there), but that's really it if these devices come out without a setting to disable sidewalk.

Nietzshe's Strange Writing Ball
What you're describing isn't a flaw in the research, though perhaps it is a gap. You can answer the question "Are people with dark personality traits more likely to succeed?" in the negative even if "successful people with dark personality traits learn to cover up their dark traits".

Sure, in some sense the ultimate "dark" person has more options and is strictly better off (or at least not worse off) for that reason. But concomitant with being dark may be a range of other attributes which lead to unhappiness, discontentment, or lack of success.
You're right. For now it is just a tech demo.
> I did not know that. Are you refering to Armenian Genocide or like TYT channel has created violent antifa type people?

Gavin Long is probably the most clear cut example I'm aware of, but we know others like Arcan Cetin were TYT subscribers and some of suspected he was politically motivated. Elliot Roger was also a TYT fan, although I see no connection there.

> I followed Sam before TYT era mainly during the Hitchens and Dawkins time. Sam is very smart but I've been listening to him lately and boy is he ever deranged on Trump. I suppose every president has the Clinton Crazies equivalent. It's very interesting to see Sam not rational about Trump.

I know what you mean. Personally I think his views on Trump are reasonable, although the way he talks about Trump sometimes makes me feel he's too emotionally invested in the subject. I wish his rants about Trump had more facts and less ad hominems, there are others who make a much better case against Trump than Sam.

> It's definitely not. Here in Canada we absolutely have extensive censorship. VPNs are becoming increasingly popular for Canadians.

It's the same in the UK. We have to be quite carefully about what we say publicly online because if someone gets offended about our opinions (regardless if we intended offence) we can be arrested for a hate crime. I remember when people used to talk about how crazy it was that the Chinese government censor the internet and arrest people for having the wrong opinions, but this has become fairly normal in the UK today.
Surely we've learned a few things about designing systems since 1991 (and the hardware landscape has changed just a little bit in that time too). A new, from-scratch OS should be able to make some huge leaps with all of that new hindsight, and without all of that legacy baggage. It's an enormous task, of course, but if anybody has the research-cash to throw at it, Google does.

Of course from a business perspective it's definitely a power-grab, just like Chrome was. But from a technical perspective I think it makes a ton of sense.
High resale value is still high resale value.

I mentioned 2011, which is well before the nasty keyboards.

You guys are spending a lot of effort to respond to things I didn't say, including anything at all about competitors. Sony Vaio laptops probably hold their value longest, AFAIK, but that doesn't mean Apple laptop haven't traditionally held value quite well.
I absolutely love my AirPods Pro but it's primarily for ease of wear _(comfy)_, the lack of inner ear pressure and transparency mode.

The connectivity has been one of the worst experiences i've had lol. Both in and out of Apple ecosystem.

I think it's primarily my laptop to be honest (2018 Macbook Pro), because they do better when connected to my phone; but the ~4 other bluetooth devices including one in-ear bluetooth pair i have never have connectivity issues. Yet i can't count the number of times these AirPods have disconnected, or connected one ear but not the other, etc.

I still love my AirPods, but connectivity has been the worst out of all my bluetooth devices. It's been frustrating.
Great question and I can say early on I and the other primary inventor really pondered "what is needed?" He felt it should be a chair that became a bed. I felt it should be a standing desk that became a "recliner with ottoman". As we started testing and getting feedback the big lesson was everyone wanted something a little different. At the end of the day we learned that laying down was only one of a variety work positions people wanted. Further, they wanted to change positions easily. The bed only solution took too long to set up and get out of.
That is not true, you will get a new AirPod, the battery will not be "serviced" and the old ones will be thrown away.

The substantive points have little bearing on perceptions held by those that are key to the survival of a small startup and that can't realistically be changed by a small startup.

One could of course feel that the difference in obligations are more important, but those who believe this are also free to fork the project and demonstrate just how easy survival would be trying to ignore the consequences of the perceptions.

It's clearly possible for some GPL projects to keep forging ahead despite the difficulties, but survival rates paint a picture that isn't so kind.
no, the only policy we needed is to either distance or wear masks when visiting in private with those outside your household, not at home with family (which no one would do) or in most public settings (which are already very low risk because exposure in space and time is vanishingly low). that would focus our attention and effort on the most impactful situations, not the ineffective shotgun approach we have now.
Morality is evolved. Humans are social animals, and we have evolved a set of rules to guide human communities by. We call this morality (there's an interesting discussion about biblical/religious morality vs atheist morality, but it's interesting because of how similar those moralities are).

If your goals never align with those of your community/organisation, and you don't need the community/organisation to help you succeed in them, then ignoring morality will help you succeed in your goals.

But if your goals are aligned with your community/organisation, then morality is actually a great guide as to "behaviour that has been proven to work well". This, I think, is what the article was talking about.

As a manager, my experience is that dark traits are always a negative for the organisation. The goals of the individual and the organisation soon diverge, and the goals of the individual take precedence for them. Managing them so their needs stay in line with the plan is an extra burden, and you never know when they're off planning something evil.
But it’s not under the users control if they install an app- there’s nothing hard that prevents the abuse. Now if the OS had a system wide / network level proxy that checks the correct DNS calls are getting made and overrides with a user chosen default, then you’d have something.

Hey, I just wanted to say this is awesome and if you need somebody to help test it I'd love to help.

I'm a software engineer, but also a big guitarist. The WaveNet stuff is really interesting, but I'm not a DSP/ML expert. I could help you:

* Model a Dr. Z Maz 38 MkII, 5w Fender Tweed Champ, Ampeg SCR-DI preamp/DI

* Provide raw samples of: Gibson Les Paul 1958 Reissue (R8), Fender Telecaster (1955 type partscaster), Fender Stratocaster (1962 "thin skin" reissue), Gibson 1963 SG Junior Reissue, Fender 1958 Precision Bass Reissue, Taylor 814ce acoustic guitar

* Get the code installed on my local, test whatever you need help testing, etc.

* Testing and feedback on the real-time plugin i.e. using a VST/AU in Logic, testing latency, testing sound against in-room amp sound, etc.

I'd also be interested in figuring out how to get the real-time plugin you're developing into a pedal enclosure. I have a friend who is a top notch silicon valley hardware/power engineer, and we've been toying with the Strymon Iridium, Impulse Responses, analog pedal building, etc. It'd be interesting to use some guerrilla marketing, sell a few pedals on The Gear Page, and see what people think.

In terms of compiler comfort I'd much rather the compiler be able to look at func(3) and deduce that "func accepts an int" rather than "maybe func accepts an int and maybe func accepts an Option<Int>"
Absolutly not, it's going to be the Fedora version of RHEL. Pretty clear:

"If you are using CentOS Linux 8 in a production environment, and are
concerned that CentOS Stream will not meet your needs, we encourage you

Of course no one want to run CentOS Stream because it's going to be broken / unstable, completely the opposite of what CentOS is.
It’s hard to balance how much you should write on paper in place of just coding. Coding in itself allows you to explore the problem, but induces its own cognitive overhead, which might distract you from important insights about the direction you’re taking.

Can I ask, what country is expected to invade Switzerland?
Seriously. I'm baffled at the number of people that don't give a crap and that we should just do nothing. I hate to pick sides and perpetuate the "us vs. them" mentality, but the geopolitics of today are increasingly pushing toward it. We're on the verge of a new Cold War with China whether we like it or not. But instead of hoarding ICBMs, it's tech companies and the technologies surrounding them.

> The idea that tiktok is spaying is pure nonsense with very little evidence. What tiktok is collecting is not more than what Google or Facebook is collecting and that information is not more valuable to China. The Chinese government is less likely to harm you than your own government with that data.

Then why was it caught spying on clipboard data? Remember the shenanigans that ensued just before this controversy blew up?
> No, this is valid in languages with nullable types:

Only in languages with default-nullable types, (where the non-nullable form, if it exists at all, would be something like “String s!”); in languages with explicity billable types, the above is not allowed, because you would need to explictly opt-in to nullability:

String s? = null
+1 to you sir. I was just having a discussion this past weekend with some technical friends and noted that a well-architected monolith often lends itself to easy deconstruction such that you get the best of both worlds when they're necessary in your product lifecycle.

> force all embedded devices on my network to go through the pihole

You can only do this for the devices that respect your DHCP-provided DNS config. Even if you redirect all port 53 traffic on your network to your pihole, a device can make its own (DoH or non-DoH) https connection and gets DNS responses via that, bypassing your pi-hole.

This was discussed extensively a few days ago on a thread about "72% of smart TVs and 46% of game consoles hardcode DNS settings":

I'd like to, but I think this is correct. This is 100% IBM beginning to actually bed in their take-over of Red Hat.
It's amazing to me how many folks seem to have no clue about what folks value in the apple ecosystem.

Call folks fanboys (I use windows / linux all day for my job by choice).

Do your "solved problem" bluetooth headphones allow EASY audio sharing when the kid is sleeping and you want to watch something with your wife? These are two bluetooth devices on same audio stream.

Does your solved problem bluetooth headphones RELIABLY connect to your current device (without having to unpaid with another device). That is game changing.

The problem is, folks have listened to folks like you so many times and gotten BURNED so many times. Oh, it "should" work you say. Total BS at least 20% of the time.

I won't buy the max'es because I have no need for something that nice. But the $159 for the airpods? Slam dunk.

You should go back and listen to the criticism of the airpods when they came out - overpriced, stupid, whatever. Then check out sales numbers.

Do that again with the apple watch maybe? Started slow, but I'm curious what their top competitor is by $ revenue - they have just improved and improved.

Do that again with the ipod?

Do that again with ballmer and the iphone?

Do that again with the actually pretty cheap M1?

These are deep neural net papers, specifically in NLP.

Explanation: why the model (the deep neural net, that is) is doing what it's doing.

Attention: a particular technique used in certain deep net models, invented a few years ago, that originally showed remarkable performance improvements in NLP (natural language processing) tasks, but has recently been applied in vision and elsewhere.

Maybe "ultimate" is a more accurate word than "sole," but in general, short of declaring War, foreign policy power eventually falls on the executive when tensions exist between branches.

The president can unilaterally leave treaties, arguably universally. SCOTUS has said that as head of State, even the recognition that other countries exist and/or are legitimate falls upon him.

Yesterday's SG argument at SCOTUS brought up many of the reasons why the judicial has historically, and should continue, to stay out of foreign policy matters.

Foreign commerce clause is a better argument, but I'd say regardless, here the President is operating within the laws and framework as Congress has legislated under that authority.

Whether the judge agrees is sort of circular logic here, not affirmation.

Just move to Ubuntu / Debian it's the logical choice here. Ubuntu is already the #1 distro on server, it will consolidate that poistion even more.
Yeah we have some now ageing CentOS 7 crap to clear up. The obvious choice was CentOS 8 but that is now uncertain. I’m glad I was too busy to take this on earlier in the year.
What? There’s a difference between buying a product before trying it and making specific claims about how its sound quality compared to other products before trying it or even seeing any reviews. I buy tons of products before trying them...that’s how you try them.
You don't necessarily have to take away features to reduce cognitive load. You can actually reduce it by adding features in some cases.

For example, I believe that adding Sum Types would actually simplify most class-based languages, because it would mean that you can use a straightforward tool with a 1:1 mapping from real-world concept to language concept for representing "or" (a very fundamentally logical construct!). As-is you have to use an awkward inheritance pattern with classes. Or use a union and keep track of the tag manually. There's an extra feature, but the usages of the feature become straightforward. It's the same principle as writing longer but more straightforward code rather than a gnarly one-liner.
Persisting message offsets in DB has its own challenges. The apps become tightly coupled with a specific Kafka cluster and that makes it difficult to swap clusters in case of a failover event.

If you expect apps to persist offsets then it’s important to have a mechanism/process to safely reset the app state in DB when the stored offset doesn’t make sense.
It may have been just a cover for banning WeChat which is a more credible threat. Everybody is up in arms over TikTok and the media says nothing about WeChat so the plan seems to have worked.
That reminds me of all my efforts reporting bugs in a Certain browser today... Except there is no option to pay $100, you just get ignored and sent to WONTFIX.
Actually, as a both an Apple user and high-fidelity music lover, I'd happily pay $549, if and only if they sound comparable to the peers at this price point.

If their fidelity is below its peers, all of the "just works" stuff goes to trash for me. I have a pair of entry level Philips BT headphones (designed by Gibson) and they sound well above its price point. It's no Sennheiser, Grado, RHA or similar but, they're not a pair of cheap cans either.

So, for $549, they should rather sound detailed and balanced. Otherwise, It's meaningless for me.

The problem isn’t SVG necessarily. It’s a nice vector format with many hidden features available to those who explore (especially with SVG 2 around the corner). The problem is JavaScript. Unfortunately, there’s not much one can do if they want interactive images[a][b] short of a Turing Complete language. And if you’re going to need that, JavaScript’s right there (for better or for worse).

[a]: Embedding the SVG directly into the HTML and manipulating it using the JavaScript in the HTML is an option, but not many people do that

[b]: We can argue all we want about whether we should be making interactive images in the first place, but the fact of the matter is, either you add it to your format, or someone else will

... I'm not so sure about that. I suspect you might have liked the way the speaker changed the sound, but you could have gotten the same effect (with greater control) with the headphones and digital preprocessing.

The headphones will give a more faithful reproduction of the original recording.

Making a nearly-perfect class D amp isn't hard (which is not to say a lot of people haven't messed it up; there are a lot of pretty bad amps out there).

The hard part is the speaker itself. The mechanicals of moving a lot of air accurately are hard. You need a physically large woofer which moves over a long distance. If you do that, your woofer and tweater won't be in the same place, so your phase response will be wonky. You don't want the air cavity acting as a spring overpowering your driver, so you need a large box. Etc. By the end of it, it's super-complex. Headphones are super-easy in comparison.
I'm a little surprised your comment is turning gray for this. I have the same visceral reaction to that word. And it's not like I care about pink shirts or other cutesy things. It's specifically that word, used by an adult.

Some people have similar reactions to words like "moist" or "juicy". (Those would be context-dependent for me)

But "yummy" is just hard to hear for some reason. Except when it's a small child expressing their like for cookies or candy. Then it's totally fine.

Anyway, just thought you'd like to hear there are more of us out there :)
I guess our experience with regards to CL differs. A lot. The spec is lie? Implementations are all the same? To me it sounds like you're talking about a different language.

I can take source code from the eighties and nineties (say from CMU AI archive) and, in all likelihood, with a few modifications make it respect the ANSI specification and have it run in 2020 on pretty much any CL implementation. This code is several times older than Clojure. I have a lot of code from 15 years ago to this day that works flawlessly on pretty much any CL implementation. Granted I also have some implementation-specific code and code that would suffer in efficiency and that would hit implementation limits.

I use mainly two CL implementations (SBCL, ECL) that serve purposes that are quite different. I know applications where CLISP was chosen because of its size and mostly-portable bytecode. People who care about Appleware tend to like CCL for its support on that platform. Some companies prefer the more enterprisey LispWorks/Allegro. These implementations are all meaningfully different. They all strive to conform to the specification. CLISP and Allegro have nonconforming modes as well, which not many people care about.
