It's hard to find articles like this that give a glimpse into what is used by larger shops doing ML. I take this one with a grain of salt due to the source being a vendor, but still it is generous with the amount of detail and with its even mentioning some alternative solutions for cases that might fit those, so that is really appreciated.

The pros working in big shops who write these tend to overlook the tiny use cases such as apps that recognize a cat coming through a cat door (as opposed to a raccoon) which can get by with minuscule training.

There's a lot of discussion of "big data" but small data is amazingly powerful too. I wish there was more bridging of these two worlds — to have tools that deal with the needs of small data, without the assumption that training a model takes days or months, and on the other side, to have the big data world share more insights about how they manage their data for the big cases. There is a ton of info out there but what I find lacking is info about how labeling and tagging is managed on a large scale (I'm interested in both, big and small, as well as medium). Maybe I'm just missing something. This article gave some good clues — thanks!
The world is full of streets where people who are not local or do not look like they are local are likely to be mugged, chased by gangs who regard it as their 'territory', regarded as suspicious on account of their ethnicity or crowded with extremely persistent vendors or beggars. It is sensible to avoid them.

Yes, it is also possible for 'locals' to be upset by unreasonable behaviour like loutish drunkenness or reasonable behaviour like wearing a rainbow T-shirt, but it's a bit rich to accuse others of being deliberately obtuse when you're bringing up dangerous driving as an example of why an OP's concerns about walking through certain areas of the city is likely to be his own fault.
In Russia everyone knows which of those 2 messages is the real one guiding your cushy employment there, and which one is just a PR BS which was produced after people like Ted Cruz cried foul in the US .
Well we assume any important Internet choke-point is used for surveillance. If I just started surveilling anything sent en clair my first stop would be Internet backbone connections.
Though that creates an incentive for the company to not share its own data.
It's nice to be able to take down people like Chamath in this way via the market itself.

Chamath is one of those popularity seeking stunt masters who are actually charlatans behind the scenes.
you are extrapolating a lot here from the choice of a single, somewhat vague, word. the looks you receive from passersby can make it very clear that you are not welcome or at least not expected to be in that area. I'm not sure I would call it "aggressive", but certainly "uncomfortable" and to be avoided if possible. this observation is not unique to affluent white people.

sometimes people are downright aggressive if they feel you are trespassing in a place that isn't "yours". I had a somewhat mischievous teacher in high school who liked to take us out to lunch in less affluent neighborhoods. more than once he was asked "why did you bring those kids here?" or told outright "you don't belong here" by the regulars.
>Your point is valid regarding the size of the niche here, but there are probably a thousand other niches that would combine—long tail fashion—into a good chuck of market share.

What niches would those be? Why is HBO Max responsible for all of them? Their parent company made committments to censorship before HBO Max even existed back to when DVDs were being introduced, as stated in the article. I don't even know why OP and yourself are going after HBO for this, apparently Warner Bros made this decision twenty years ago.

> As far as families being upset about their kids auto-playing into offensive content, HBO has already solved for this. They have Sex and the City and The Sopranos on that platform.

Dunno if you use HBO Max or not but, like Netflix, they separate UI and content by age group of the current user

> Mark the naughty T&J episodes as "TV-MA", and a kid-filtered view won't show them, right? (I guess the question is whether they have this ability per-episode, or only at the series level)

Or just not, and not deal with any further possible ramifications. All of these "historical"/"archival purposes/I'm a sensible adult" arguments for Tom and Jerry apply just as well to Amos & Andy since we're really talking about censoring jokes about Black people's physical appearance. Almost seems like a dog whistle if I had more evidence.
What do you think is the exception here?

We're both making assumptions about what the original poster meant with their wording. In my experience, the normal, non-exceptional case, of aggressive behaviour between people on the street is unprovoked harassment by troubled individuals. (Or outright crime like being held up... but fortunately I haven't encountered this myself)

That harrasment is hardly uncommon. I have a hard time thinking of other sorts of conflict or aggression I've seen walking around...
Google engineers quit over firing of ethical AI leader Timnit Gebru
"Two Google engineers have quit over the treatment of Timnit Gebru, former co-lead of the ethical AI team. David Baker, an engineering director, said Gebru’s dismissal “extinguished” his desire to remain at the company. Vinesh Kannan, a software engineer, said he was leaving because Gebru and April Christina Curley, a diversity recruiter, were 'wronged.' The news was first reported by Reuters.

'We cannot say we believe in making a more understanding, informed world, and then ignore how our products amplify biases,' Baker wrote in a farewell note to colleagues. 'We cannot say we believe in diversity, and then ignore the conspicuous absence of many voices from within our walls.'"
> You assume the OP doesn’t refer to himself as a local.

You assume the OP is a "he," among many other things, such as:

> You’ve clearly never experienced aggressive panhandling.

Typically the approach of "scold motivated assumptions with unmotivated ones" does not engender support, because it shows that you do not comprehend the context in which this conversation operates.
Oh no, they didn't break even.
You're not gonna get any useful metadata out of it since the entire pipe is encrypted/decrypted at each end. All you'd see from tapping it at the middle is an unbelievably vast stream of random ones and zeros, the encrypted version of all commingled traffic.
i hope this doesn't work.
It seems that you not only agree, but argue further that source code is a liability.
Sure, it's possible. That's what I've been doing for the past 10 years. Keep my overhead as low as humanly possible (I have simple needs - basically a small Steam budget and a Netflix subscription), and do short contracts when money gets low-ish. And really, it doesn't usually even get that low.

I know everybody worries a lot about resume gaps. I don't know. YMMV. All I can say is it hasn't yet disqualified me from a job I wanted. If all you do is contracts, and all they want is a contractor... I mean... ? If I've been working on personal projects, which I often am, I put it on my resume and talk about it.

That's it. I've enjoyed living this way.
E3 is ~34Mbps, so it probably wasn't. It's true that the E1/E2/E3 hierarchy is used outside the US, but links to the US can be either depending on carrier preference.

The T1/T2/T3 and E1/E2/E3 hierarchies join at the STM-1 level: An STM-1 can be subdivided as 4 x E3s or 3 x T3s.

This means that on a EU<->US SDH link, an STM-1 can be demuxed into either E3s or T3s, so you can have both standards on the same fiber.
The Nginx configs use modules that are not compiled by default, so most preexisting Nginx binaries in mainstream distros won't work.

The reality is that this is a very difficult situation all around.

1) Lenders probably shouldn't be lending money to people they know cannot repay the debts. This is also why APRs are so high - most people simply don't.

2) People who know they can't repay the debts shouldn't be borrowing in the first place. This is also why lenders have to go to such extremes to collect their debts.

This is a function of being poor in a country like America with zero social safety net. If you're desperate and on the ropes and have nothing to fall back on you'll do whatever it takes to get by including take out loans that you can't afford, from lenders who know you can't repay them.

The problem isn't predatory lending, or deadbeat borrowers, it's a deeply unequal society which doesn't look after its own, with rampant wealth and income inequality and a total lack of social safety net.

In an ideal world, folks would be able to rely on unemployment or UBI to get by tough stretches, and this system would disappear instantly. Half the country is busy breathlessly screaming socialism over what the rest of the world considers a "functioning government" and the other half has other things on their mind like walking back stupid bathroom laws, and in the end, nothing fundamentally changes.
I don't know if that particular website uses it, but you can usually turn on the "prefers-reduced-motion" flag to get rid of the animations in compatible websites.
It is anger at the collapse of every institution of our society, most of which have transformed away from their original purpose, and into sinecures for well-educated and well-connected professionals, who, under false pretenses, skim the surplus by lying about what they do, and shaming the productive masses into supporting them.

I admit that I'm also full of wishful thinking. I said that once they go bankrupt, someone more competent will take over, but there's no guarantee of that -- instead, it is highly likely that some other skilled and well-connected grifter will assume control, will keep the "crying Jimbo Wales" ads to shame people into giving them money they spend on salaries and travel expenses of people doing things that do not need to be done, and often things that Wikipedia community doesn't even want done.

This is an industry where the waterfall lifecycle was presented as being a bad methodology, which was then promptly adopted by almost every firm in existence.

Then Agile & SCRUM arrived and now people complain about giving status on what they are working on now, what issues they have and what they intend to work on today. You see posts here bitching about it.

I still get software from engineering that appears to lack ANY sense of what we are supposed to use it for. The developer gets tons of back slapping by engineering management, and it leaves us STILL doing grunt work with the poorly designed tooling, that the developer is now writing perl scripts to deal with issues in his delivered work.
True, I guess I was speaking on an even longer time horizon.

Yes. A 5-10 year investing strategy can make a down payment on a house realistic. That kind of stuff is laughed at by the put your money in a bunker until 65 crowd.

I will not buy a house at 65, I’m sorry I won’t. You don’t have a plan for me. So I will look to other strategies.
I agree, however the options with the best evidence for success are, unpopular.

A robust sex ed curriculum, free contraceptives for everyone NQA, free abortions up to delivery. Fund social services adequately. One party is dying on the hill in an attempt to prevent these rational evidence based measures. I'd rather believe that gullible religious types are tricked into hating these things because it helps the capital class maintain a large uneducated and impoverished workforce. I realize that this may be wholly wrong.

On the other side of things..

If the birth rate declines too fast then entire generations will be raised to keep their ancestors alive, instead of doing other things like mining asteroids or creating new AI to better sell Facebook's new facehugger 3000 vr facemask with built in respirator.

Once a year the company can shop around, but you as an insured have no say. Your HR picks, and they may or may not be competent. They may optimize prices for family, or for single people, or any number of weird things.
Yes, I'm only in it for the money. So are almost all other workers. I've been to work parties. I'm a very social person but work parties never did much for me because you can't talk freely at them. I don't need work parties. If I want to go party with coworkers, I can organize that myself, I don't need the organization to do it for me. Or I can go party with people who are not coworkers. I do understand that maybe some people are too shy to party outside of work, but I think that they would probably benefit from becoming less shy. Work parties at almost all organizations are not events where people can really be themselves, and I don't think it's a good idea to have all your eggs in the one basket of work anyway. But as for people who like work parties, I'm certainly not saying they shouldn't go to them. More power to them.
+1. I got asked to focus on CWE top 25 in a node app. Problem is, half the top 25 are not applicable to node (buffer overflows etc, which matter in memory unsafe languages).

Uncontexualised security is bad security. Frequency of bugs is not a good indicator of severity.
It's definitely supply and demand, but it's not clear to me why the demands for programmers and "poets" are so out of whack. We have a collective notion that the work of the writers don't matter, and so we just collectively decide not to pay them very well, and they're forced to accept it.

Meanwhile, even pretty poor programmers can make a fair bit of money, rather than being priced out. But there are a ton of them, and honestly, there could be even more. Basic programming isn't that hard. Lots of people do it in high school, self-taught, and even more could do that given opportunity and encouragement.

I'm definitely enjoying it while it lasts. I've been expecting it to stop for three decades. I've been wrong the whole time and it looks like it will last the rest of my career.

But I'd really like to see us take a good long look at the whole thing. A lot of talent is going to waste. I'm happy to benefit, but wish others could, too.
Signal's been "moving away from using phone numbers" for almost as long as it's been developed. They've burned tens of millions of dollars and have nothing to show for it on that front.

Also they insist of making piece of shit bloatware clients and actively kill every attempt for someone to fix it. Because Moxie is always right apparently.

I really hope the situation is just due to incompetence and hubris.

> Wikipedia may have been an amazing idea in the beginning. Then it got taken over by a bunch of entrenched editors more interested in their own power than the accuracy of the pages' information.

Then there are also the people with ideological axes to grind, and the community's seeming belief that it's fine to merely reform a problematic user to just the barest level of acceptability.

Unless you find some forgotten corner, being a Wikipedia editor requires an inhuman level of patience or obsessiveness, which probably ends up turning off a huge number of potential contributors.

We've found you can get an order of magnitude improvement in the amount of labelled data you need - but there is some variance based on the difficulty of the problem. Because you are retraining the model in tandem with the data labelling process, there is additional compute associated to an active learning powered labelling process versus just selecting the data at random to label next. But this additional compute consideration is almost always outweighed by the saving of human time spent labelling.
oh come on, you had more then zero training on that model.
Egress goes both ways. Streets with no hiding places nor alleys to flee down tend to be safer.

Also, a street lit well in some pockets but not others ruins night vision and creates hiding places. A residential street with lights on at every door might look nice at night but may also be worse for safety. Except for the psychological deterrence of "people live here, are home, and care enough to leave the light on."
He said on an earnings call just a couple years ago that when he did the Toyota factory tour things were moving like granny on a walker slow and you would need a strobe light to see how fast the Tesla machines were moving and they were needing to account for air friction. He deserves more than the criticism he gets but he is surrounded by people enabling him and journalists have been uncritically reporting the things he says.

The majority of articles about the Nevada factory still use the fake render of that factory rather than any actual images as just one example of the enablement of the lies and fantasy around the company.

When you find yourself dismissing large groups of people based on your own superior understanding after watching a ten-year-old documentary, that should often be a warning sign.

For example, I by no means think our civilization is the first advanced one, and I also have a loosely-held belief that there used to be more humans on this planet than there are now. But I'm always looking for new information and revisiting those beliefs.

Nobody is saying that the pyramids aren't a fantastic work of engineering, they absolutely are! But over-stating the case, as if building them is still far out of our reach, and therefore they can only be the work of aliens or whatever, that's just not supported by current evidence. Much has been learned, even within the last ten years, that make it clear that the pyramids were definitely buildable at the time using available technology, by some very, very clever people.
And that tells you what exactly? Do you think they should spend less on salaries, or more? What should they spend on instead/what should they cut?
And yet the current title ("Peter Naur's view of programming") now contains even less information about the content of the article. It may be less "clickbaity" -- I certainly am less inclined to click on it, but it's also less useful.

Nope, no assumption. Just a gross mistake of failing to put the global match in there. Updated accordingly.

Ah, insults and no content. I suppose trolling it is then.

The point is that if you spend any large amount of time in many US cities you will encounter aggressive panhandling and the only action on your behalf is your presence there.

There is a reason some communities vote to entirely ban panhandling, and it’s not because “racism”.
