to think that the lives of the majority of Americans could be in the hands of people who are disconnected from them, both economically and generationally, is frightening.

It sounds like you place no value on experience.

Do you know more today than you did ten years ago?

People older than you know what it's like to be your age. People your age don't know what it's like to be older than you are.

It eviscerated me for listening to a lot of soothing piano songs (mostly from one album). For the last year, we learned that was the best thing to play for our foster kid so she'd sleep. My recommendations will probably never recover. Same for netflix.
Sloppy handling of expiring options has nothing to do with PFOF or the SEC settlement being discussed in this article.
This article really misses the crux of how science massively screwed up and forever tarnished its image. It's egregiously silent about the disastrous role science had in American society around the 1920s.

Eugenics! The scientific management of society through experts. Scientific racism. The rise of the corporation as a new empirical organization of people.

This is so painfully obvious especially now: that science empowers political people and individuals with moral sure-footedness.

Instead of imbuing people with a doubt and skepticism (for science is bound to change with new information), science is used as a sort of license to micromanage and extend power over people and silence criticism.
Why do you even bother? I thought it was obvious by now this is propaganda to delay the adoption of 5G, allowing US competitors to catch up on Chinese equipment. The "concerns" are coming from bureaucratic positions no technically-savvy ones.
I'm a fan of Reddit's AmITheAsshole and I'm always stunned by the stories of teens whose life plan is to become an influencer. As a sociological phenomenon, it's fascinating: celebrity distilled down to an implausibly pure form, like Paris Hilton rendered into uncut white powder. But as somebody who feels responsibility to the kids in my extended family, it's a worry. I'm not even sure how to explain to them that it might not be the best way to spend 40 or 50 years.
I'm going to do something that 10 year old me would absolutely hate and defend Metallica... a little.

While it's true that they definitely did grow thanks to tape trading, Napster wasn't just a bunch of tape traders. They were trying to turn tape trading into an actual business that makes money. It would be sort of like if a record store decided that instead of selling CDs, they were just going to sell tape machines and CD-R drives and have half the store be open for people to trade CDs around. Furthermore, Metallica didn't just get angry that people were trading their old songs around. They found out about Napster because new songs they were writing were starting to circulate through it and wind up on the radio. It's sort of like if you were halfway through writing and editing a book, and then suddenly your second draft shows up on Amazon Kindle Unlimited.

T-Series and Metallica weren't doing the same things back in the 80s, either. Metallica was giving away their own songs as a way to gain publicity, sort of like the music equivalent of shareware. T-Series was just outright selling you other people's songs. There's a huge gulf between noncommercial sharing - especially if encouraged by the creator - and commercial bootlegging. The former is more or less just collectors throwing files at one another. They don't really harm the market, they were going to buy it anyway and filesharing is just a hobby. The latter, the bootleggers, are actually harming the market by trying to compete with the original creators of a work. 80s T-Series looks a lot more like Napster than 80s Metallica, IMO.
Your [1] should add that “additionally, there is a huge funding funnel that select companies can tap to without having to produce any results at all!” So funneling money to friends and special (dark) projects is also on the table, as a simple matter of what is “possible”.
It’s an actively adversarial environment.
Yeah some of it seemed tailored and accurate, specifically the insults at the end (They pegged my music perfectly with "stoner-frat-bro bad"), but most of it was just pulling most played artists and songs and making vague jokes.
Man that was fun - great project!

This is fine. I think frameworks are more useful for teams where forcing the same style on people helps the interoperability.
None right now.
>This is more a failure of the tutorials than of CSS itself though.

But therein lies the rub. Where do you go for authoritative information on CSS that doesn't involve digging through winding, terse technical specifications? That may be fine for developers making web browsers but becoming an 'expert' in CSS shouldn't be a requirement just to make a web page. Hell, even the experts struggle with it otherwise all web browsers would have consistent CSS rendering. A good example is centering an element in CSS. What's the right way to do it? There's a multitude of techniques with varying advantages and trade-offs. I first cut my teeth in web development in 2001 and we still don't have a simple, straight forward, codified way to accomplish this seemingly simple task. Instead we have an ever changing standard coupled with a dizzying amount of opinions on the matter and inconsistent browser support on mobile devices. We can't really blame the failure of tutorials when there's no clear authoritative reference point to work from.
At some point I as listening a lot of nursery rhymes song with my child. When doing this I just let the recommendation algorithm choose the next song for me because I don't really care what to watch next. After a few week I was stuck in a two song loop where song N+1 was equal to song N-1...
Spotify Employee Accused of Deleting Joe Rogan’s Alex Jones Interview
Thing is YouTube has hardly any features to manage a playlist that big. I think it does not even allow to search within the playlist.
Having only one comment on an account and it being about how other people are ornery is the most curmudgeon thing I’ve seen.
The lack of airflow is probably to limit coil whine.

I think the main fault with X570 is that it doesn't save power at idle (PCIe supports downclocking links to save power, actually hot-swappable), but it appears to run all the lanes at full speed. Going from a Intel 6700K to AMD 3950X double the power draw at idle (50 watts to 90+) and that's with the same components.

On my system the chipset will quickly heat to 57c (when the fan starts) within two minutes regardless of usage. I swear Asus have the cooler upside down (semi-passive heatsink blows air downwards), worse still it ingests warm are from the heatsink. I have been meaning to modify it, right now I have a 140mm fan pointing at it to stop it hitting 1500rpm (where it irritates me).

Chasing silence does have diminishing returns. Manually setting the 3950X to 3.6ghz 0.95 volts does make a massive difference. I could run the PC semi passive (no case fans, just CPU <500rpm) if it wasn't for the damn PCH fan!

AMD also sets the voltage too high for their GPUs, making them actually run slower (the one-click downvolt works well), I think AMD dislikes the planet...
Recommendation algorithms themselves are the problem. It's a net negative. They encourage you to turn your brain off and follow wherever they take you. When you do this with your own thoughts, we consider that a form of mental illness. The inability to engage in executive control over where your mind wanders, resulting in endless chasing of tangents without any purpose is practically the definition of schizophrenia. Yet this is precisely what recommendation algorithms encourage. Better to step back, think about the things that interest you and you actually care about, then directly search for those, with perhaps keyword tagging related videos displayed at most.
Only a fool would go get a lawyer instead of making a phone call. Especially, if you have employees who you can tell to make the phone call too. I suspect if you did get a lawyer the first thing they'll suggest is they call the number to get it cancelled and will ask if you called the number.
This is an awesome demonstration of the capabilities of Haiku OS (just like the old BeOS) doing multimedia work. You can still see the old demo videos of BeOS doing very impressive multitasking back in the day of Pentium II processors.
This becomes very apparent when traveling and using hotel Internet, or built in YT on room's "smart" TV.

The YT recommendations are very targeted, not only for local business but culture, and aggregate viewing patterns. Go to Washington DC, and check YT search patterns. Then, go to Seattle, WA, Memphis, TN, Austin, TX and compare these to each other.

It is a fascinating window into what YT thinks about the local population.
Have you looked at RateYourMusic.com? I don't participate in the community very much, but I regularly lurk there and find tons of great recommendations, reviews, and discussions about all kinds of obscure music.

Some of the subreddits are also good. Shout out to /r/hiphopheads, /r/indieheads, /r/popheads, and /r/letstalkmusic.
Strictly speaking that is not Osmand's fault, but an issue of tte underlying OpenStreetMap data project.

Google invests a lot into tagging google map POIs. On standard Android installations Google maps activates the maps timeline recording for you and it's creepily good at guessing to which shops you've been and by what means, etc. You then get frequent notifications that push and nudge you to review and answer questions about places (wheelchair access, confirm opening hours, business type, inventory, add photos, reviews, etc). The whole ordeal is quite gamified with contributor level and stars earned on your profile badge. It's designed to have GMaps' data as much as possible enriched by users.
In addition to what the other replies have said, it's also worth adding that these are as much to provide essential access (eg emergency services) as it is for convenience. In Europe, and particularly the Scandinavian countries, governments often provide services at a loss where safety concerns are considered.
On the last step - empty screen
A lot of the stuff really is an open question though.

For example if you’re training models on historical data to determine credit worthiness, you can end up with models that penalize people based on race, or zip code (as a proxy for race), or names (same thing again).

How to correct for this is not obvious, removing the fields from the data usually just has it appear in some other way that’s correlated to race.

My understanding of current approach is to leave the fields in and then check to see how out of whack things are and there are a few approaches to try and correct for this (also an open question).

The reason modeling risk on race is unfair is because while the color of your skin may be strongly correlated with being a bad (or good) credit risk due to a whole host of complex historical reasons that lead to bias in the data, it’s not because of someone’s skin color that they should be considered a bad (or good) credit risk. You want the models to be judging based on more causal details. Not data that’s biased due to historical favoritism or exclusion.

Doing this poorly can further cement the pattern in the data and make it worse over time in addition to just being less accurate.

That said, you want people working on this looking for pragmatic solutions and not just promoting their own agenda while spinning things to seem worse than they are with emotionally loaded language targeting the company. Making demands and then going public on Twitter about your failed ultimatum doesn’t inspire much confidence.
Well... in standard linux malloc never fails... not sure if it is a good thing though..
Yeah I think this confirms that this is just a madlib.

Mine was:

You've been listening to a lot of Monolink lately.

u okay?
It's open source now, right? Outside of 2 and 3, could someone incorporate (some) of the improvements from TerarkDB into RocksDB? Or does it truly require some major rewrite to achieve the tail-latency benefits?

The comparison figures presented looked really impressive, thanks for sharing it.
For point one, give a thumbs down to the video? One would imagine that is used as a negative recommendation signal. Or delete the video from your watch history.

For point two, I don't think you're correct. Kids under 13 can have accounts, but only with parental approval.

For point three, you're totally right. But if you think through the implications, every aspect of that seems like an incredibly hard problem to solve. And at least my expectation is that you wouldn't get most users to actually interact with that system, since it is too complex. The perfect example of a power user feature that would get killed a few years later as expensive to maintain and little usage.
Having lived through the "IE days", we're now in the "Chrome days" and the outcome will be no better.
> In May, Kaspersky (@oct0xor) discovered CVE-2020-0986 in Windows splwow64 was exploited itw as a 0day. Microsoft released a patch in June, but that patch didnt fix the vuln. After reporting that bad fix in Sept under a 90day deadline, it's still not fixed.

In theory you could account for this, right? HN (and reddit, etc.) could score based on how many typical voters have seen it, or just bias directly based on average active times across a week.
I second this. The Caldigit TB3+ is rock solid for me. I don't start my work day in clamshell mode, though.
Tim Ferriss Is No Longer Living the Tim Ferriss Lifestyle. Neither Should You
After you strip out corporate BS from this announcement (taking stabs at whatsapp, for selling to ads company), themselves they're going to become one more ads supported business.

Basically "Ads companies are horrible and not to be trusted. Btw, welcome to our new business model - ads"
Sure but all of those things are a consequence of Git doing its job of recording all history forever. Git LFS is only "better" because it lets you delete history later and it enforces getting shallow clones.

Maybe Pijul solves that magically somehow (e.g. can you change history without changing commit hashes?) but they haven't explained how IMO.
For almost any paper I read, before I pick it up, I know there were statistically significant findings. Those results were not predefined. Instead they are part of the academic review process that filters out null results. That same process (depending on the field) also rewards novelty or all sorts of other things. It's very much a human process.
The whole topic around bias in AI is overblown. If anything is to come out to the real world and fails to be inclusive then Google will be swept off their feet by the competition and as long as that is the case then I don't see what I need to be so cautious about.

And problems such as political bias run far deeper than some recommendation system. I feel as though these things are just trendy to talk about.
This was the case for every phone prior to the iPhone and is certainly the case for Android, as past bugs were patched by some wireless carriers and not by others. Getting an answer to this may prove difficult, as Apple are very litigious and people know this. If engineers received a gag order, I suspect they probably won't risk violating it.
> Several classes of opioids have been shown to cause neuronal degeneration

Question for you - is this "brain damage" that I often hear results from taking a particular drug the result of intentful downregulation of certain neuronal receptors (e.g., meth -> too much dopamine in synapse -> downregulate dopamine receptors), or is the drug actually killing brain cells/neurotoxic?
More likely scenarios for the issuance of a dangerous weapons permit.

i did not know that. i will check it out
The implication is their making up the difference in other ways. As such the example linked is a source of profit to make up for the missing 9.99$, not a customer service issue.

So, sure the article is talking about one specific means their using, but that’s hardly the only option they have. Remember the best conmen run multi layered con’s, as people finding the first layer and trying to profit from it are the easiest marks.
Indeed, if there is not a credible explanation from first principles it should be assumed that the article was written primarily for reasons other than illuminating knowledge.
That was funny. However, I'm one of those people with a bona fide, DRM-free MP3 collection[1]

But I only use Spotify a) in the car and b) while riding my bike/bike trainer. I have an actual DRM-free MP3 collection[1] for the important stuff--which has a little overlap with Spotify, but not too much.

[1] Small - only about 20 GB - and has been contiguously curated, over five distinct "generations" in my life, since I was in 7th grade (1998), when I had a 486 DX4/75 that could just about play an MP3, downloaded over dial-up from a shady FTP server, over my SoundBlaster 16 if I wasn't running X or doing anything else.
Over the last 15 years, I've run a lot of distros on a lot of different hardware.

On desktop, Fedora has been by far the most reliable. Ubuntu LTS, as far as I can tell from using it for work, just means that annoying bugs that have been fixed in the upstream never get backported.

Case in point: Bluetooth on Ubuntu LTS has always been much less reliable for me than on Fedora.

Disclaimer: This is only my anecdotal experience, use whatever works best for you.
It is common for university professors to be advisors or C level execs in startups while they still hold academic positions (specially in AI), for me that's many times more concerning.

No I'm pretty sure a priesthood intelligentsia caste using the media for PR was the framers' blind spot.
I think you're getting a bit confused. Nobody is saying that crimes like jaywalking were created for racists. The racism is an unexpected side effect.
If I schedule something in the calendar app for June 4th and call the event Tiananmen Square Massacre Commemoration, will my event or even my entire Zoom access disappear?

Probably not.

But the fact that history gives me the grounds to seriously ask that question was the best articulation I could come up with on why I will never use this product.
That was fun, if not maybe a bit TOO judgmental!

Tangential: I wish one-off applications like this also offered a one-click de-authorization step at the end to remove access to my account. It’s a pain to go figure out how to do it for certain accounts, especially if you’re mobile and there’s a decent chance you’ll just forget to do it later. I do not like leaving access tokens around in other people’s databases unless I have to. I understand this would require the service to provide such functionality to the application developer, which I’m sure isn’t always available..
That glue layer is called MyRocks (MySQL -> MyRocks -> RocksDB). It may be possible to slot this in to replace RocksDB in that stack. (I don't know.)
I totally agree. And I can't understand why FB - a much wealthier corporation - can't fix numerous problems with its Messenger app. Sometimes the messages don't sync correctly, sometimes voice messages don't play, sometimes images are not loaded in high quality, the search sucks, removing a single message requires 3 taps!, etc. etc. None of these happened in tg for me, and yet, I don't know why more people aren't using it.

Given the open-source nature of tg, I would imagine someone would put together a Messenger client based on tg source code. I guess that would solve many problems with FB's own messenger.
I think you're imagining the best possible implementation, but we have to guard agains the worst. False negatives and positives, a false sense of security, problems with accidentally being put on the wrong list, etc.

I also don't understand how it could be a parent's choice if a school implements this against a parent's wishes - their choice would boil down to "enroll their child in school, or withdraw them."

Controlling who enters and exits a school is fine, I just don't believe that the software would offer that sort of control.
That is not what "originally published at" means. The author is providing the canonical home of his own article.

Not exactly related, Herman Wouk, writer of famous novels in the 1950s mostly about the 2nd world war, passed only late last year, he was 103.
>Besides, US bases are not aid to the host country but aid by the host country to the US.

They eliminate some need for the host country to spend on their military, often provide rent money, and stimulate the local economy. It's done to usurp sovereignty, but the host agrees as it benefits them financially.

I don't disagree with your broader point, but I don't see how it changes anything. Calls to stop aid to a country differ even if the countries do the same thing.
What makes you think spotify isn’t injecting the music industry’s preferences into your playlist? But anyway there are plenty of radio stations that still pay humans to DJ that know more about music then, me with good enough programming skills that even if they play a song I don’t really care about, it is played in a context where I don’t mind listening to it.

Every few days if you notice the algo giving too many fast-food style videos, it's worth it to aggressively use this to unfollow all these topics. Miraculously, the next time you refresh your feed, all those old interesting topics you used to be into will come back.

Overall the algo is very very recency-influenced. You can watch videos from a niche interest for a year straight, but if you then spend a week watching nascar, you'll never see anything but nascar videos for months unless you say "not interested".

I imagine they have found that for the average user, having a longer history doesn't improve G's metrics.
