I know what you mean with taking notes on a tablet, but the reMarkable is very good at that aspect. Nothing at all like an iPad: the e ink makes it look like paper, and even the tip of the (passive) stylus feels like writing on actual paper (it "scratches" ever so slightly, even if it obviously doesn't actually scratches the screen).

It also doesn't do fancy stuff: it's black and white, and doesn't do OCR on device at all. It's basically just a notepad that is synced to your other devices (without the manual picture step, and you can get svg instead, etc)

To me it's too a notepad what a kindle is to books: a single purpose device that does it's job very well.

Oh yeah, and about two weeks of battery life is pretty good.

I realize I'm starting to sound a bit like a sales rep... but I'm just a fanboy user.
Requiring naturally blonde people to dye their hair black seems significantly more unreasonable to me.
Many schools in China require girls to cut their hairs short, so they don’t spend all their time on it and can study instead.
I guess nobody will know until we have methodologies that test the odor of people. We don't have. But at least we now have ML techniques that could be used to do that in the future.
Something like the Do-Not-Track header? The history of that pretty much shows how much adoption to expect for a feature like this, sadly.

Alternatively, I have never written to the wrong device when using dd. I always double and triple-check with lsblk and blkid before committing to it. dd is always available, unlike other tools.

If a user blindly copy-pastes and destroys their main drive, that's a very good lesson to thoroughly double check before running destructive operations.
Nah, it is going to be east const vs west const for hours. :)
You can also just use `su`, run your command, then `exit`, but you’re right: `sudo dd` is much easier.

(This obviously ignores that you should almost never use `su`)
How much Facebook knows about you?
For large models it does help! The training loop for multiple GPUs with data parallelism is roughly:

1. Split the data up

2. Do a forward and backward pass on each GPU individually

3. Compute the average of the gradients and update the model on each GPU

4. Repeat

For step 3 you need to send the gradients from each GPU somewhere, and then send back either the averaged gradient or the updated model weights. So when the model is large (say, 3GB for GPT 774M!) that's a lot of GPU-GPU communication!

You're right that for the vast majority of ML cases, the models are small enough that the synchronization cost is negligible, though.

I wrote up some benchmarks here:

Japan is pretty damn racist, any white who has there for an extended period of time knows that their skin color means they have a much harder time in certain establishments, or even just aren't allowed at all.
Truth is in the eye of the beholder.

Is it possible that there's a possibility that in fact, your assumptions could be wrong ? For an article that is 100% empirical as you say, i hardly see any citations, like user theNJR OP said.

Take for example my "way of life". How would you react if i told you that I am a resident of a major urban center of +2M people ? And I have lived in such a city all my life ,including my formative years ?

Would you still hold on to your truth ?

> … every time I would feel a bit foggy in the head, I would take a 3-15 minute meditation session.

Hey, that's what I do too! I've never read anything meditation-related and consequently do not know any of those approaches but I once realized that lying in bed/on the couch/on the floor for a few minutes while freeing my head of all thoughts really helps with mental fog (I have ADHD and fog tends to build up even with meds). I tend to jokingly refer to the process as 'clearing my cache'.
Requiring someone to use a potentially damaging product on themselves is different from requiring a certain hair cut.

That being said, I find hair requirements distasteful as well.

It is not clear to me whether there is a material difference here. Any text string is a sequence of bytes for which some interpretation is intended, and many meaningful operations on those bytes will not be meaningful unless that interpretation is taken into account.

The problem that you have raised here seems to be one of what alphabet or language is being used, but that issue cannot even arise without taking the interpretation into account. If you want alphabet-aware, language-aware, spelling-aware or grammar-aware operators, these will all have to be layered on top of merely byte-aware operations, and this cannot be done without taking into account the intended interpretation of the bytes sequence.

Note that it is not unusual to embed strings of one language within strings written in another. I do not suppose it would be surprising to see some French in a Russian-language War and Peace.
"Chauvinism" isn't incorrect, but a very loaded framing. Conservatives believe that culture is of overriding importance to the prosperity of a society, and do not embrace cultural relativism.

What makes the United States rich and Bangladesh poor? A liberal would immediately go to explanations involving colonialism, etc. A conservative is much more likely to go to explanations involving bribery, political corruption, etc. Liberals tend to be cultural relativists, so they perceive those cultural explanations as being "chauvinist" or "racist." But there are plenty of Bangladeshis who would give the same explanation. Among other Bangladeshis I know (I'm from the country), especially ones back home, they're much more likely to blame cultural/political institutions rather than colonialism.

AdGuard DNS is easy to set up and free. I went with it because there are 5 of us at home all the time due to COVID and I didn't know if we would hit the NextDNS limit of 300,000 queries a month.

10,000 queries a day sounds like a lot but our router (Orbi) isn't doing any caching so maybe it's not.

AdGuard DNS doesn't let you have any configuration. My college student had to change her DNS settings once because an app was being blocked as an ad blocker.

It’s surprisingly bad here in the UK as well. At one of the local schools here any uniform violation means isolation. They take your phone away and you are kept on your own in a room until the end of the day and visited by teachers only to issue work.

The student this happened to, my daughter, caused this to be triggered by dying her hair a lighter shade of brown than her normal colour.

I found out about this when she arrived home without her phone because the teacher had left it locked in her desk.

She was moved to a not insane school immediately and complaints raised with the school and the phone was collected by me the next day. Of course all record of all events magically disappeared.
Lots of advantages to diversity:

- you get a wider range of product ideas coming from all parts of the org. You'd be surprised how many engineering decisions only favor the group of people who develop them, you are less likely to consider non-white-male demographics as a homogeneous group, leaving those users out as prospective clients.

- you have a less diverse QA and testing without diversity. That means you're only testing your products against white people. Lots of famous products struggle with being used with people of color because of that reason. For example many early photo augmentation software didn't work with anyone unless they were white.

- diversity begets diversity. The lack of diversity may (and often will) create a work culture that prevents a suitably qualified PoC from being hired. And even if they do, the lack of diversity may be unwelcoming. It's almost certain that lack of diversity will mean people will make innocent faux pas comments to the one diverse hire, pushing them out of groups. They therefore get disenfranchised from the work place, simply by non diverse culture being unaccommodating and not outright racism.

Basically, end of the day, by not having diversity, you're likely both pushing away people outside your demographics, both as clients and employees, and also leaving money on the table as a result.
Maybe we should. I'm flagging your comments. Quick pro-tip I probably shouldn't share with you: If you have extremely contrarian views to communicate, work on your communication skills, otherwise you'll look like a rabidly insane troll.
The difference are certainly minute compared to the possible variety of differences in the world.

In Japan, for instance, varies ethnic groups live that either speak languages that are are as far removed form Japanese as Danish is from English, or genetically not related at all.

To not even start about “Han Chinese”, which is an “ethnic classifier” that is so wide, it s more analogous with “Germanic”, “Slavic”, or “Romance” than it is with “Anglo-Saxon”; and contains a larger number of inhabitants than any of them respectively.

“Anglo-Saxon” on a world perspective is really quite close together and comparable to “German” or “Francophone”.
Yikes, how does a discussion about the (vacuous, millenia-old) notion of "all the youg'uns have no grit/resiliency/whatever, that's the problem nowadays!" turn into a self-congratulatory pop-evo-psych / Social Darwinist diatribe?
Just because you should do something doesn’t mean we should make it easy to screw up. And just because you and I double check doesn’t mean everyone else does. It is their fault, sure, but it’s also not when the internet guides don’t give you a massive warning about double checking.
If you read my comment more carefully, the words I was objecting to was a specific claim you made:

“The virus didn’t magically halt economic activity. Governments did, and we need to keep that in mind, because depending on the state, the government response was often far too harsh and not backed by science.”

This is like saying you were hurt by the airbag, not the crash. You could say that specific government reactions made things worse, or the failure to provide economic assistance forced people into risky situations but the root cause was the entire world learning that it was quite risky to be in close proximity to other people.

I think the second lorry park being build in Kent means that the troubles are not that temporary (especially for Kent people). Also either the UK governement still hasn't hired near enough customs agents, either the training was so horrendously planned it's shamefull (especially when you compare to NL and FR customs agents).

There is a fresh food issue in the UK, salads and tomatoes especially. Maybe you don't eat salads so you did not notice until its tomatoes that are hard to find on the shelf.

My cousins that are exporting some medium-quality wine (10 to 25€/bottle) to the UK seems to be fine, there will be a price hike that can cut some of their british customers but the chineese market seems to open up for them so they won't rely on UK export anymore.

> There's still some oversight, he can't literally do quite anything he wishes.

He can. Just not directly. That's why I linked the million vs billion illustration. He has such a huge amount of life changing money, he simply can buy his influence and manifest his will. Here an American billionaire influences a British research institution to make a decision according to his worldview, a decision in existential crisis to humanity.

If you align with his worldview, you may like the result, but I really can't understand how you can be willingly ignorant about the dynamics at hand and how much power these billionaires have over everyone's life. Much more, Gates didn't become rich for making the better product, but for clever business strategies and ruthless monopolizing a market for the longest time. His success is exactly failure of the free market naiveté.

Nobody should be that rich. (And yes, no single government official should be trusted with deciding how to spend tax money either. Everything needs to be transparent and actionable to the voted policies.)

They are trying to get new people involved to hook them into the hobby and of course get them to buy more stuff from them. Remember you need an SD card, power, keyboard, mouse, oh look it's a RaspberryPi book, oh cool, they have a magazine and suddenly that $5 loss has turned into $80 of sales.

The person buying 10 at a time is just buying the boards, so no extra items other than maybe a PSU. If you really want 10 at $5 go every day at lunch, that's what I did.
This has to be one of the most outright bigoted posts I've seen on HN.

It implies that only outright homogeneous cultures are good. So a white woman is a negative to be in a work culture with a white man, because she cannot relate to being a man?

Or a black man can't work with a white man because he can't relate to being white?

Or do you mean if I'm from a foreign country, legally allowed to work in America, that I am a negative because I don't share a common upbringing story?

Should people from different states not work together?
Fantastic work, congratulations. Hope to see more of these.
I use a reverse osmosis system with an added remineralization filter at the final stage. The unit I have is a counter top model from Apec and can be easily set up to use with your kitchen sink. I swear by it and as added bonus to clean drinking water from the tap you no longer have to purchase plastic bottles of water. The only maintenance is filter replacement, which is relatively straight forward. I tend to replace them every 6 months, though apparently they're good for up to a year. You can find more info on it here... https://www.freedrinkingwater.com/ro-counter-detail.htm
If you are white in Japan they will perpetually treat you like a tourist, which when you are a tourist is great bc they are super helpful, but I could see it becoming demeaning if one wanted to reside there permanently.

If you are black in Japan people treat you like an oddity and take pictures of you without asking, comment on your skin color, etc bc they rarely see black people in person. It’s quite rude and I agree racist.
I grew up under communism in E Europe and we had a similar standard and enforced sort of violently and humiliatingly. I remember having longish hair when a primary teacher from an adjacent class stepped in, put her hand in my hair (hair wasn’t supposed to go over finger girth in length for boys) and while dragging it she loudly said: is this a boy? Let’s check his private parts cause he looks like a girl. All other kids were either stupefied or laughing. They did not check my private parts but it was humiliating enough to leave an emotional scar to remember. My teacher liked me and let me have longer hair but when it was growing too long she’d gently tell me she’ll have problems for me, so not everybody was mean. But the mean teachers were very empowered and acting on a whim whenever they felt like. Corporal punishment was also common, they would slap put palms with wooden rulers, pull out hair, etc. I wasn’t roudy and I can say I didn’t get a lot of it but still, if one had ADHD they’d be constantly punished. I wonder what came of those kids eventually

Your argument is basically an ad hominem, and not something that is particularly welcome on HN, as you probably are aware.

Whomever is financing the Cato institute is completely irrelevant to the argument made.

Had I not cited the source, would you have actually considered the point?
The very best way of dealing with stress isn't internal, it is making the source of stress go away.

Unless the internal changes fundamentally change how you view the world ( i.e. the source of stress no longer causes stress, which is the kind of change you'll very rarely see in adults ) it will only be a paliative measure.

Being better able to cope with crap is useful, but I don't think it can be considered solving the root of the problem ( due to lack of neuroplasticity in adults ).

Maybe not to you. It should be for Apple, if they actually care about their users / customers.

> Apple is the only company preventing Google from having the private information of all smartphone users ...

No, it isn't. There are other worthy contenders to both ios and Android, like Sailfish OS. (In fact, using a Sailfish OS mobile phone actually protects my data from both Apple and Google - it's a double win for me).

And unlike you, my idea of privacy isn't trusting one corporate over another, but ensuring that no corporate has access to my personal data itself in the first place - I absolutely do not want Apple to have access to any of my data. (And whether you like it or not, until Apple does precisely that, I will keep criticising it).

Great effort!

I wish the files were named as Part01.txt, Part02.txt and so on to suit the default string sorting used by GitHub. The list on GitHub has Part1.txt, Part10.txt...Part19.txt, Part2.txt, and so on, which makes it a bit cumbersome to browse on that site.

See also "The Peter Principle," which famously argued that everyone eventually rises to their level of incompetence.

To be honest, I do expect to find a project provided with a pipenv/poetry setup, just like I would expect a haskell codebase to have a cabal/stack setup, and a java codebase to have a maven/gradle setup.

It is true that most recent languages ship with these from day 1, but ecosystems rarely lack this kind of stuff. I mean, even my vim has a package manager nowadays.

As for whether you want to salvage old code that isn't provided with package management, it's up to you. But you would have this kind of problem with any old, unmaintained codebase.
This implies that you should have types for every intended use of a text string. This is, in fact, a sensible approach, reasonably popular in languages with GADTs, even if a bit cumbersome to apply universally.

A type to specify encoding alone? Totally useless. You can just as well implement those operations on top of a byte string assuming the encoding and language &c., as you can implement those operations on top of a Unicode sequence assuming language and culture &c..
My private Catholic high school had a policy that hair must be a natural hair color. Doesn't mean it can't be dyed, just can't be blue. I'm sure the Japanese policies have the same intent, they just weren't somewhere you'll see red, blond(e), brown, and black in a class of 100.
