Yes, that was an interesting culture shock when I moved to the Netherlands. It didn't help that where I'm from it was much more common in a bar to pay as you go, or in a restaurant for everyone to pay a share (either listing off what they had, or just dividing, whatever makes the most sense) at the counter on the way out.

In the Netherlands, your table will run a tab and someone pays, and then later sends a tikkie (it's an app that makes paying the person back very easy) to the group. They get kinda weirded out if you violate this model, e.g. recently I was going to the shop, and a friend asked for something - €6 or so, small enough that I don't mind not being paid back for a one-off thing, and then a few weeks later sent me a message "I remembered you never sent me a tikkie for that, please do!"

There's a standard joke screenshot that goes around here of a whatsapp message after a date, translated, "Please pay €0.25 for mayo on your fries." It's probably not a joke.
Really. OpenAI assembled some of the best minds from the deep learning community. The problem isn't that they are a for-profit SaaS, the problem is they lied.
> INSANE peer pressure.

In China, it's even more so. If you're an obese person and many will throw "wow you're fat" and "you should really lose some weight" right in your face.

Although it sounds terrible, most of the time they're more concerned about you rather than trying to hurt you intentionally. But it does make people feel more guilty about being fat or eating high-calorie foods.
How and why would you run a social network in Wordpress?
>I don't get it.

-I just said that she is probably perfectly capable of interpreting simple data.

-That you don't have to be a "data scientist" to understand simple data.

-Data Scientist is not a real Job but a base training (learn tooling and a bit statistic)

-A Mathematician/statistician/scientific-programmer has probably more of a clue what data's and statistics are and how to interpret them then any "based trained data-scientist".

-If it's so complicated you would need a specialized covid-data-scientist/mathematician, but it's NOT....compared to let's say, what Surgeons do...hence the degree in Medicine, with specialization on surgery.

I did not say she's wrong or right, but to say that someone has no clue because he/she is not even specialized in "fill in occupation" or employed as "fill in occupation" is just plain wrong, and shuts down every other opinion.

Just look for a example at Apollo 1, a fireman or chemist would have probably said: WHAT! filling the Cabin with pure oxygen is a terrible idea!!

But he's/she is not a Astronaut, Doctor or Rocket Scientist. With the logic here, he's maybe capable of understanding rocket-fuel or how to put out fires, but has no clue of humans and what they need in space...and he's not even employed as Human-equipment-specialist.
You could just develop for something that you can actually get today and live with the fact that it's not taking advantage of all the shiny new toys an RTX 3090 offers.
There is definitely social stigma around "talking to yourself". As a kid, I've been told that only crazy people do that. This made me uneasy, as my mind tended to - and still does - reason through a dialogue with itself.
My friend says yes.
Yup, that's an excellent point. Religion invokes various kinds of altruism - often though not always limited to the in-group - and it clearly "works" in some sense and has survived for millennia. I guess it's hard to recommend religion to someone on that basis though, because that is not the basis that religion recommends itself on. You can't become a Christian because you think (like Rodney Stark) that Christians are very helpful to each other. You can only be a Christian by accepting Christ as your personal saviour.
I imagine your service still won't have a great time when Google blacklists companyusercontent.com

The primary issue is that large scale GPU training is primarily dominated by communication costs. Since to some approximation things need to be synchronized after every gradient update, it becomes very quickly quite infeasible to increase the communication cost.
I have some friends here in the Amsterdam which exchanged cloths in a clothing-swap event, and basically you bring N items, you can take up to N items.

Of course my friends went with an 80L backpack full of cloths, so they were told to just pick whatever they wanted, they didn't pick much though.

It's the increase in leptin that drives satiety under keto diet:

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3244537/#:~:tex....

Healthy weight is also a lot more complicated than just one hormone. Taubes is not discussing, for example, the difference between healthy and unhealthy obesity and the role that dysfunctional adipogenesis plays in the latter by inducing hypertrophic changes in fat cells (distended fat cells) rather than hyperplasia (create more fat cells).

A lot of research has focused on finding agonists for PPARgamma to restore healthy adipogenesis and reduce unhealthy inflammation of fat tissue. Some have been taken off the market for suspected toxicities, but piaglitazone is still widely prescribed.
You don't need something fancy like motor sparks to kill a 2.4Ghz WiFi, a leaky Microwave will do that and perfectly explain the 1 minute length.

I'm in the UK education sector which seems to have become a Microsoft shop. Teams seems fine to me, but I think it's only because they nicked the idea from Slack. Outlook is... better than it was, but still no match for Gmail. OneDrive is incomprehensible. All the Office 365 stuff just seems like a big overcomplicated mess.
I don't think it is that odd, it's just a case of costs, scale and who you're designing for.

A TOPS500 computer is gonna set you back a few million $, so you're only going to have one of them and it's economic to employ a team of well qualified people to write software and interface relatively directly with the hardware.

Now that same computing power can be purchased by ~anyone and most of those people are not specialists and have essentially no ability to write software for the platform, so (from a design perspective) it's a waste of time designing an interface that allows them to do so.

If your goal is to have a small powerful platform aimed at people who want to run software on it directly that's completely doable. Just see the raspberry pi and the raft of similar devices now available.
I'm sure they all fully expected him to be arrested this fast. I'm no expert on the Russian political scene, but it seems clear that he wanted to embarass Putin and is escalating the situation in the public eye to force Putin to act. Rule by fear starts is harder to maintain when it is put to the test, but this requires brave and committed people.
The point here being that it was not bureaucracy or the government that trapped NASA in LEO. It was NASA own design process.

Blaming everything always on the congress/president is a way for NASA to never take responsibility. All the success gets credit to NASA but failure is always somebody wrong doing.
This is the first sentence in the lead paragraph:

>How dark is the sky, and what does that tell us about the number of galaxies in the visible universe?
> $100k in liquidity.

That of course puts you into the 1% of people in terms of liquidity. Quite a lot of people are a long way below that: https://www.federalreserve.gov/publications/2019-economic-we...

Retirement saving are interesting because for a whole bunch of public policy reasons most people have illiquid retirement savings.

> move to Thailand, Spain, Portugal, Turkey

Check your visa requirements: can you really move there without a job? While $100k is a 1% number it may not be enough to qualify for the "entrepreneur" visa.
Critical thinking won't help you when the majority (or all) of your sources are tainted and contradictory. At some point, the actual truth just gets swamped.
And the third is that they leave their keys in their coat. When I’m at home, I leave my keys (and therefore my yubikey which is on my key ring) on my desk and when I’m out, I always keep them on my person and never unattended.

So that leaves ease of setup and support. Since setup only has to be done once per site, and I only bother with important sites, that’s not a major deal for me either.

Isn't this like saying that aliens do not exist, because we never received any signal from them? Of course you can see it like that, but does it really change the probability of their existence?

I think there's a difference between what we know and what actually exists.
Traps to Avoid When Reviewing Code Changes
Same reason why goldbugs votedown Gresham's law. It's not comfortable for someone to call out your world view, especially with centuries worth of observation to back it up.
It's an agent but like any agent they act on behalf of someone and represent their interests first or only. And that's the company's. Sure you can extract value from them as an employee but you have to keep in mind that HR is there for you only as long as your interests almost perfectly align with the company's interests and not a step further.

That shower? Keeps you working longer in the office. Same goes for most of these perks. The course in React? You can deliver in more projects or upsell you to a customer. Try to ask for something when you underdeliver and you'll see whether HR or the company value your happiness or your happiness derived productivity.
Do you have any source that on " (one I've seen a lot is that 'women may become temporarily infertile'), despite every trial not showing any such side-effects.". I want to forward it to the ppl I know who heard this. To show this, they need to monitor the conception rate after vaccination with the control group. Is this actually monitored? (what I sometimes found that 'no evidence' means 'we do not have data';like they claim in German trains no transmission has ever been found; spoiler, they didnt register and check names of passengers)
Unless these comments are trolling, it now seems very believable to me that some people talk to Jesus or God and hear back. If you do an atheism-Christianity debate with such a person who actually hears God all the time, you'll have a hard time I guess.
Restricted Stock Units
I really don't enjoy the tone here. The derision with which it speaks about managers, like they are either evil or incompetent, is unfair in my experience.

(my) Managers are just people. They have a task, they do their best to get that task done. Sometimes they decisions that seem bad to me. Often that is because I misunderstand their goals. Sometimes, it is because I know something they don't, and something they couldn't verify if I told them. And other times, they just made a mistake, or weren't told the relevant information by me or others.

Indeed, sometimes their goals are somewhat self serving. But often it just has to do with wider business goals than what I am working at. I am grateful for them keeping an eye on those. Leaving me to worry less about the biggest of pictures. That however, doesn't mean I should just bog down on the small picture of my work, and deem everything that seems bad in that context as stupid.
And also as a part-time dance instructor (maybe Israeli folk dance?). What an interesting dude.
Consistency of adhesion, consistency of transference, and contrast of outline, I imagine.

I haven't tried it. I'm making speculative inferences from the existing data vs the non-existent data.
> You're probably thinking of Amazon's house brand approach, which is funny to imagine in this context.

That's the joke =p
It means restricted stock unit, and it's a kind of company stock unit that may be distributed to some "valued" employees. There is usually a vesting schedule, and you can't do whatever you want with it.
>> Why can’t they make visible light with an antenna?
> In terms of normal radio antenna designs, you could, I think, but antennas need to be sized proportional to the wave length of the light.

There is also one more difference to mention. For antenna design in radio frequencies the metals are taken as perfect conductors—meaning that the fields inside the metal are zero. This assumption relies on the fact that electrons in the metal respond the electric field basically instantaneously. However, the optical frequencies are significantly higher, so the movement of the electron cloud in the metal is no longer instantaneous relative to the outside fields. As a result metals at frequencies of visible light are way less "metal-like" when looking from the perspective of RF antenna design, so you can't directly use the exact same approaches for designing antennas.
There are groups that try to combat this abuse by introducing some kind of transfer. Everyone gets credits and by giving away stuff/helping people you can earn them.

One could say it's the same as money, but I don't think so. There's no use in hoarding those credits and it's not as strict as real money. As long as it stops abuse it works as intended.

The downside is you now need someone to organize and keep track all of this.
Yes I mean the process of reviewing a Pull Request, especially a complex one with multiple rounds of feedback.

Some major issues, in my opinion:

* The review is spread over 4 tabs, with "Conversation" being the default and "Files" being the 4th even though "Files" is clearly the most important
* Comments can become "outdated" and lost as code changes even if they were still relevant
* There are too many ways to do one thing. "Leave a comment" vs. "Start a review". "Comment" vs "Request Changes". "Requested reviewers" vs. "Assignees", etc. It's all built up over time into a bit of a mess.

So ... I think I can do better! And I think I can do it in a way that's easy to layer on top of GitHub so that teams can still enjoy all of the other amazing things about developing code there.
The entirety of modern economics is based on the presupposition that monetary value is the only factor in rational decision making.

A "free market" is literally defined as - "a system in which the *prices* for goods and services are self-regulated by the open market and by consumers" - all goods and services have a monetary price in such a system.

It is both inappropriate and in bad taste to call this a free market solution when it is clearly not.
Chicken Sexing and Perceptual Learning as a Path to Expertise
People like witch hunts, though: that's the point. If a "big platform" was to get less witch-hunty, it would start to lose users.

>they hook in to new platform-only capabilities

Contrast the situation to Microsoft, where not even their own in-house teams are willing to add support for new platform capabilities.

There was no touch native version of Office for the Surface RT, despite it being sold as a tablet.

There are several of their own products that still don't have native ARM versions for the Surface Pro X.

Xcode works natively on an M1 Mac. Where's the native version of Visual Studio for the Surface Pro X?
I thought it banned for a lot more than call to violence (and mostlt calls to violence by right-wingers at that), including a number of right wing positions:

Doesn't Twitter ban people who define "man" and "women" in a way other than self identity and use the pronouns appropriate to that identification?

Doesn't it ban people who go on about how insert-minority is intellectually and morally inferior and should be removed from the country?
> but they're also fragile.

There was a good article in Cracked or similar about the White Bikes in Amsterdam (Free public bikes). The article sadly seems like it was taken down and I've never seen it replicated.

Basically all the White Bikes ended up in the canals, and the theory is simply, 1% of the population is 'bad' all the time and good people are 'bad' 1% of the time (for instance drunk), and you should design for this.

Even if your society is near perfect you still have to engineer around that 1% catastrophic failure. Bikes will be thrown in canals, and that woman possibly is a good person in a 1% bad spot or an outsider who is 'bad' for the group.
Ways to give your CREDIT SCORES a BOOST in 2021
Is there any real justification behind this fear of close nature of OpenAI or this is just frustration coming out?
We had this debate of closed Vs open source 20 years back and eventually opensource won it because of various reasons.
Won't those same reasons apply to this situation of close nature of OpenAI? If so then why are people worried about this? What is differnt this time?
I wouldn't worry about the science bit. No one worries about the university library getting larger and larger or how its going to confuse or misguide people even though everyone knows there are many books in there, full of errors, outdated information, badly written, boring etc etc etc.

Why? Cause there is always someone on campus who knows something about a subject to guide you to the right stuff.
Nope! Lots of possible finite but unbounded shapes - i.e. a torus shaped universe would have no observable edge, and also wouldn't be obviously wrapping around (you are at no risk of seeing light from yourself headed back at you from the other direction).

You can then twist those geometries up into all sorts of knots and strange shapes to get all manner of universes where there is no edge, but light paths don't obviously loop back around.
Many times this! I don't care about speed that much, but proper technique makes cutting a lot safer activity.
> deviation wasn't viewed as having a unique skillset, it was viewed as making it harder for other people around you to fit their work

If your unique skillset makes it harder for people to work with you, it might not be that much of an asset, even if the skills are impressive.

I might be biased, but I really like the one the crew on Statsraad Lehmkuhl sings when the ship sails into it's home port of Bergen [0]. I believe it's based on the old shanty "South Australia" but they've changed the lyrics to be about "the coast of Norway".

Do you realise that for your (extremely specialised) use-case you can get a dongle that gives you both 3.5mm and power at the same time? They're about $10.

Everyone else who doesn't need this doesn't have to pay for it by excluding it.

For a $10 dongle? That's the critical decision in your mind?
Multiple studies have shown that Facebook and twitter do not censor conservatives. This has been well established and anyone who argues otherwise is either ignorant or arguing from a position of bad faith.

https://www.niemanlab.org/2020/10/two-new-studies-show-again...

I find this extremely ironic given that the slogan "facts don't care about your feelings" is attributed to conservatives in particular
I designed the communications system for these satellites, and as VO's plans developed with regards to orbit, the original link to the ground station became harder and harder to close reliably in Utah Valley thanks to the mountains. Since it is all open, we are hoping intrepid radio listeners and operators near the 915Mhz ISM band can pick up the telemetry and identify the satellite. Modulation is GFSK, it beacons every 30s.
Could this be the result of writing being non-existent at that time? It would be hard to have knowledge passed on between generations without writing, society and preservation. If they lived a nomadic life, they probably had stories to warm up with foreigners but they could not pass a lot of information.
> his other policies (open racism, open misogyny, anti-science, etc.).

The vast majority of people who vote for him do not think he has policies with these traits. Describing his policies as "open racism", "open sexism", etc requires definitions of those terms so broad that most of the American population (and the vast majority of the world population) would also be guilty of them.
Huh? Not only is my wife a working engineer, but I do this same kind of meal all the time on my own as a full time working person, and it takes about 5 minutes of bumping around the supermarket and yaoya that are across the street from each other conveniently located next to my station. It really is not hard to put together a nice meal of a hot pot or whatever. Miso soup isn’t literally just miso and water, you can put whatever you want in it, including boiling vegetables, tofu, fish, soy milk, whatever - crazy simple, I some variation almost every day and it’s neither boring nor a meme.

Meta point, you sound very bitter and defensive about this. How about give some of the suggestions people have made a shot? Like I mentioned, can you read some Japanese? Cookpad has tons of simple recipes.
This is not a good idea. Either it doesn't work, or you've managed to get your brain to emulate two people instead of one, which… well, depending on how you ascribe value to people, it might be ethically problematic to do so if you're in a bad place, mentally.
It is a really great add-on. Lately Google has been adding support for more languages on their platform.

I'm actually in favor of this.

Not because I agree with Apple/Google/Amazon etc acting as speech restricting overlords, but because I think it has to get a lot worse before people realize the dangers of what's happening and demand changes that will put such matters out of corporations' hands.
And so does every other source. You can play that analysis game with any source material. The problem is that the accuracy and detail of the reporting usually fades with each step towards mass media content.

There's no reason why a 110 V kettle couldn't be as powerful as a 230 V one, if it was designed for that voltage. Just like light bulbs in the US are not generally less bright than those in France.

If you take a 230 V kettle and connect it to 110 V, then yes it will be less powerful. Perhaps about 1/4 of the power.
The amount of such threads I've read here and elsewhere strongly suggests to me than this isn't trolling. I think it's reasonable to conclude that people who claim to talk to God and hear back may actually be experiencing this (though with no actual God being involved).

Someone else mentioned rotating 3D shapes in their head, and I think this is a good point of reference. I have somewhat strong aphantasia. On this test image[0], I score 2, maybe 3 on a good day. I've managed 4 when tired. I showed that to my wife the other day and she says she does easy 6. That suddenly explained various arguments we had in the past, that boiled down to me requiring explicit presentation of something that she, as it turns out, was entirely capable of processing in her head.
