"Say “I don’t know” or “I don’t have an opinion” when you don’t"

My father drove this into us as kids. It always made sense to be, and then I grew up, and realized how many times adults just make shit up to avoid looking like they don't have the answer. My in-laws are pros at this, and playing Balderdash against them is impossible as a result.

To this day, as some one that has been an engineer for 36 years, if someone asks me a question and I don't know the answer, I say "I don't know", generally followed by, "let's see where we would find that answer".

And I am raising my kids with the same advice.
The advantages of C++ over C that account for its popularity boil down to three main things.

1. It's easier for managers to hire C++ programmers because there are
more of them than C programmers.

2. C is designed to trust the programmer more than C++ is. In some
organizations, this difference might be advantageous for containing
the damage caused by the dumbest team member.

3. It's easier for a developer to appear productive to a manager using
C++, especially a non-technical manager, because it requires writing a
lot of boilerplate.
I'd pay more attention to this if I wasn't told (for 2 decades) that I had to turn my cell phone off for take and landing or people would die.
The Paperclip Maximizer is a thought experiment that shows that if you apply a powerful AGI to something completely innocuous, things can go hilariously wrong over time.

https://www.lesswrong.com/tag/paperclip-maximizer

People are amused to read the story, and then go on their way.

But what happens if you apply a rather less powerful AI to something else even just a little bit less innocuous? (like optimizing to grab people's attention, as is happening here).

I think you can get spectacular results.

And of course even if the AI is low powered, it can still work as an effective amplifier for human activity, both good and bad: (See: Myanmar, Cambridge Analytica, etc)
I should have mentioned it. There's now a mention at the end of the post:

I'm aware that one fork already exists, but it hasn't seen any updates for a year and the app doesn't seem to work at this time. The plan is to eventually integrate axel's work back into the app.
For a buy scenario. If a stock is trading at $20, other brokerages would execute a market order at $19.9997/share where Robinhood would execute a market order at $20.09/share. I noticed this also would occur but less noticeable on limit orders

True, that was the purpose of this Django+React boilerplate. Provide minimal and easy to follow template. Additionally, every code added is documented in the series of articles so you can learn how it was done.

There is a docker-compose provided to set up and run this boilerplate application on single server machine. It can be easily adjusted to your needs.
This article is pure FUD.

Decide what? Cow is a fundamental part of how btrfs works, and Rust didn't exist for the majority of Linux's life. (Although if you're into that, look at Redox)
Show HN: I created a Python library to control a Zoom H6 recorder
I guess you might find this useful. It's a Python3 library to emulate the remote control for a Zoom H6 recorder from your computer.
You can use it directly from the terminal, or import it in your Python scripts.

I created it because I was looking for a way to automate some steps in my podcast, and starting or stopping the recording was one of them. This led to a big rabbit hole to understand and emulate the commands sent by the real remote to the recorder. All the digging has finally paid up and the code works!

I hope you find this useful. Pull requests are also welcome.

I'd love to know what you'll be using it for :)

I learned to like it over time. YouTube recommendations helped me find incredibly valuable content which I don't think I would be able to find without the algorithm being new to the topic and not quite knowing where to look. These days, if I find myself interested in a new topic, I intentionally make a few searches knowing that YT will bring something relevant in the future and it's generally going to be even better than the web search because for some topics, the barrier to making a good YT video is much higher than making a high ranking article or a web site.
Yep! As long as each PC is setup with all the necessary drivers and such its all plug and play. No issues with just ripping the cable out of my MacBook without "undocking" anything. It just reverts to the internal display without issues.

I kind of wish there were manual/dumb TB3 switches for this sort of thing but I have not seen any.
call stack growth only matters in languages that don’t have a way to recover gracefully from call stack overflow, e.g. C.

You want to convert recursive implementations into iterative implementations in those languages because you can actually handle malloc() failing instead of corrupting your call stack.

You’re right that you’re still implementing a stack no matter what, just moving it from the call stack to the heap.
Tube artillery also works to silence sources. HARM is for things like air defense radars in enemy territory.
I was able to identify about 200 fraudulent ad clicks. BTW - I don't know if it was the safety software or something else that was force-installed by the software. I wasn't looking to do a deep analysis, I suspected the safety extension was doing more than it should and confirmed it. I gathered enough evidence that a competent admin would conclude the safety software was not safe and connected with the school.
>Before the 1920s, many Americans viewed science as a kind of “people’s knowledge,” a practical, commonsense mode of reasoning that stood against all forms of elite authority.

Thinking about this the conclusion that is arising is Science has become more of status thing and less of an entrepreneurial tool. This is pretty evident in the reason why the really cool code is always not open source.
Set a price high enough that this becomes clearly a good thing: what about $25k/person, spent directly on vaccines for others? I've been thinking about the whole "public vaccination" virtue signaling that politicians have been doing. The most ethical path would be to be immunized publicly as a politician at the same time as your risk group rather than before, ideally as the last person in your risk group so you have skin in the game. Whoever is overseeing the vaccine program should go last, for skin in the game.
> but ZFS doesn't like living on a partitioned disk nearly as much.

Don't know how true is this, since it's not even possible to create a zpool on the whole unpartitioned device on linux. It automatically creates GPT label with zfs and a small efi partition.
If you want to learn Stan I highly recommend the book Statistical Rethinking (2nd Ed) by Richard McElreath. It’s a pedagogical masterpiece and light years away the best resource I’ve found on learning Bayesian inference.

I imagine it depends on which algorithm you’re using - maybe with their VB functionality (I almost entirely use the souped up NUTS algorithm for full Bayesian inference).

It also likely depends on how well conditioned your model is - even if you can get it to run for huge models on reasonable hardware, convergence may not be practical.

I don't know what your experience with Bayesian modeling is, and I'll admit mine is limited, but STAN can solve linear regression by defining up a linear model and then setting the dimension parameters as a normal distribution to solve. This is great because it gives you a measure of certainty for each of your parameters.

The Undoing of Nikola Continues
Every specialty has taboos and learning what they are and how to avoid them is part of being successful with the job. As a physics graduate student I made an impassioned case to a high energy researcher that the money spent on high energy research was low yield and should be pushed to the biological sciences ... suffice it to say he did not take my points on their merits. Upton Sinclair’s famous “ It is difficult to get a man to understand something, when his salary depends on his not understanding it.” applies in the sciences.

YT algorithm is great for me. I learn a ton about: woodworking, violin technique, folk music, StarCraft, math, coding, home improvement, DIY projects, etc.

What is toxic is the viral ideology that infects the mind of many, many humans. We need education and social interaction to counterbalance the anti-truth conspiracy infection that social media is spreading.
It's common for researchers to publish a journal article in a more academic tone, then use it as a basis for legitimacy in public venues.

This happens at both individual and institutional levels. Examples:

1.) At an individual level, someone might publish a study on a social issue that's important to them, adhering to relevant academic standards, then establish a popular identity as the author of that study. Afterwards they can comment on blogs, in media releases, on talk shows, etc., using the perceived credibility established through academic publication to pursue their personal goals.

2.) At an institutional level, someone might publish a study on some issue relevant to an industry, then use it in political lobbying related to that industry as well as popular press to build good-will. Many academics have industrial sponsors for this reason.
Don't tell me: it's mostly ad media, and then a bunch of .js packages.
Leadership or steering committee is a key factor for open source projects operated by companies. A closed pull request with comment "We won't accept the pull request because ..." should not be on the trajectory of an infrastructure project, which is to be/being widely used by any giant vendor.

Is it any more difficult to destroy your database in Django DSL than it is in raw SQL? We're using a lot of raw SQL at day job, and the two junior developers on our team who had no priory experience of working with SQL databases at all have picked it up just fine.

Yes, this boilerplate has two main goals: (1) it is a good starting point for developing the more advanced applications (2) it is provided for learning purposes, there are step-by-step instructions how the boilerplate was created. BTW, it is still under the development.

The boilerplate code runs with docker-compose on single server but in the future the frontend and backend can be easily divided, so separate teams can work on them.

>Rewriting history is the power of China's censorship system and media control. It's a pretty scary thing actually.

Circling back to space, this is a fundamental reason why China will struggle to make advances in space once the easy gains have been achieved. Creativity and innovation require a free, liberal and open society to thrive.

These are the priciples which have propelled America's advances in science as they are principles which attract the brightest from around the world.

Very few of the brightest in the world would be willing to sacrifice that freedom to work in China.

You know for example in some countries specific businesses are ordered to shut down, while others that operate more or less the same when it comes to people to people contact can remain open. Then you have a whole specific niches of economy left without help, but competing large big corporations connected to government get all the support (for example small IT consultancy businesses in my country don't get any help, but large consultancies do get it).

The one thing I would say about he magnetic connection is that it works great when its sitting on your desk but not an ideal solution if you want to have the laptop in your lap; the magnet isn't strong enough for a lot of wiggling around.

> But in a nutshell if something is pure it should support substitution.

Neat, hadn't thought about it like that before.

> If you substitute x into the body of y you get a different result!

Heh, I guess that depends on "which" x. I recognize Flix doesn't allow shadowing as a defensive choice, but with respect to substitution, wouldn't this be equivalent to something like:

let x = [1, 2, 3]
let x = insert(0, 5, x) # treating it like Map [1]
let y = get(0, x)

IOW, it's not clear to me why the `x[0] = 5` step would be skipped when considering substitution. Hmm, per the substitution principle, is `x[0] = 5` pure?

> We are very conservative and say that anything which touches an array is impure.

Understandable given how difficult it is to reason about mutable things.

[1] Given the uniform function call syntax, I found it odd that the map is the last arg in the function. I originally assumed it would be m.insert(k, v) === insert(m, k, v)

This is an example of why I personally don't trust fact checkers any more. This gets a "mixture" rating, in spite of being:

a) quite literally factual - she said those exact words
b) semantically similar in and out of context - Even if you read the whole speech she gave, she still seems to be implying that you need to have the act passed so that you can see what it looks like when implemented. She gives a rough draft of important desired outcomes (many of which ended up being false), but the point of that one one sentence remains the same: to establish that the bill needs to be passed in order for it's real implications to be understood.

To be honest, I half agree with Pelosi here, but snopes is definitely trying to provide her with some unwarranted cover here.

Honestly it's not too bad. I've pretty much tried every platform, including the ones no longer with us (RIP Rdio) and no Spotify isn't perfect, but it's pretty good in relative terms. Every platform, after some time, gets stuck in a recommend loop. If I listen to enough recommended tracks, it gives me more recommendations of similar tracks, but if I keep listening, the recommendations eventually just become the songs they've already recommended and they get recommended over and over. Spotify does that but their tree of recommendations has far more branches and playlists from users adds randomness to the recommend algorithm. The other platforms aren't as good with that (haven't tried Apple Music in a while though).
An "experienced investor" would neither care nor, most likely, notice anything about this. Mostly because "experienced investors" aren't in the business of day trading. But also because nothing was "off" here. It isn't the Robinhood customer that is harmed by this, but institutional investors who, by this mechanisms, are excluded from the services of these market makers because they present a different risk profile.
Don't forget you feed the algorithm. I use Youtube mostly for hobbies. A couple examples are cooking and small engine repair - I find it super valuable to watch multiple people do the same thing in different ways. Anecdotally, the algorithm does a really good job giving me more content/channels both narrowly related and slightly expanding the interests. Sure, it can be frustrating if you watch a clickbaity video that spawns a genre of clickbaity content recommendations - but it doesn't take long for those to stop showing up so long as you don't watch them.
> But people who watch stupid and destructive stuff (even once) are doomed because they are going to get the same and worse kind of content recommended over and over.

It's also important to note that a lot of users similar to you never make it to this paragraph. They just assume the reports about the dangers are overblown.

Not necessarily the case - avoiding pseudo-HW RAID controllers can be reasonable advice, and may have been what was said, but some of us were explicitly told to avoid real hardware RAID controllers, period, for the reasons that have been listed upthread. [1]

It's great that you've had good experiences with this particular hardware RAID controller and are recommending it to others, but it's also the case that there are legitimate reasons to avoid all hardware RAID cards in some setups.
