I don't have any experience in this domain, but perhaps one thing to try is formulating this challenge as taking in Tweet sentiment and predicting the delta in stock price. For example, using the stock data, generate the % change in stock price every day compared to the prior day. Then, using Tweets from a date _n_ (or range of dates), try to predict the % change of the stock price on date _n+1_.
I tried to google what price controls they mean. Could only find a price control program from 71 - 74. So that may just have delayed the inevitable for 3 years.

> Make the road narrow, add curves to it, and suddenly people will do lower speeds naturally because they don't feel like they have as much of a buffer.

I am not sure how that would be possible where I live. This would involve destroying a bunch of residential homes to add curves (the neighborhood I am in goes back at least to the 1930s, as thats when the house I am in was originally built).
> I already use Linux with my bank and when I'm interacting with my government.

I also use Linux with my bank. All banks I know of in my country require you to install an invasive "security software" (warsaw), even when you're using the web browser; some also require the phone app to be used as a second factor (for instance, one bank generates a dynamically changing QR code after you enter your password; you have to open its phone app and scan that QR code, which the phone app uses to generate a number to be typed below the QR code).

For the government, it's easier, you just have to install the ICP-Brasil root certificates (since they haven't been accepted yet by Mozilla).
I learned Perl in the mid 2000s because I was working with a company that took text (and sometimes spreadsheet) dumps of public records data and processed them into a database. The entire ETL pipeline was a set of Perl scripts, and, as far as I know, that system is still running. The Perl iteration was actually the second iteration of that system - the first iteration was a set of C programs and shell scripts that were replaced over time.

The rich ecosystem of tested Perl modules for file formats along with the testing frameworks made coping with change bearable - not enjoyable, but bearable.

I currently drive a car that is a little over four feet tall. I regularly pull up to intersections and try to turn corners where my roofline is below the bottom of the windows of the megatrucks next to me. So yes, the arms race is real, and my next car will be taller and bigger.

You might have missed the point. The point is that if you kill someone with a car, authorities are FAR more likely to write it off as an ‘accident’ with no charges filed than any other time one person dies at the hand of another.
The actual consequences would be charging someone appropriately with vehicular manslaughter.

The point was that killing someone with a car is a crime that is almost never prosecuted, not that the penalties are too low.
Just (pre)-ordered mine. And I have to say, this has me feeling that I'm on the cusp of fulfilling a dream that I've had for around a decade (or more?) now.

Every since the days of the OpenMoko[1] I've wanted a real "open source mobile device" - something that runs Linux (or a BSD, or FreeDOS, or ReactOS or something open), that can make/receive calls, get on the net, and that I can carry in my pocket. Not being ludicrously expensive is also a desirable feature. And now between this PinePhone, and the Purism phone, it looks like what I've been wanting finally exists. I can't overstate how happy this makes me.

Edit: and yes, I know that an "Android Phone" running F-Droid is close to the same thing, and I am glad F-droid is out there. But this still feels like a step further in the right direction.

I agree. It goes both ways. I think the above commenter is either a Chinese or an empathizer. I recent had a back-and-forth conversation with someone from China on Reddit and it really surprised me that the person seems to think his government's actions are all good/fair:
https://old.reddit.com/r/worldnews/comments/m535p0/at_least_...

A few of my friends from Myanmar are descendants of Chinese families, they say that whenever they read Chinese online forums, they see this selfish/apathetic approach (only my business/my money/my family/my race matters) again and again. I think a lot of people in China are brainwashed to see both sides and they are now conditioned to take the side of "the west is always blaming us" (which is partly true, but partly false as all things go in life).

From the article:

> Larger vehicles, such as the popular SUVs and trucks that dominate new car sales, are more dangerous for pedestrians than sedans

Most new car sales are now SUVs and trucks. The share of SUVs and trucks sold is up over the period considered in the article, your neighbor notwithstanding.
The data do not support your anecdotal evidence. The difference is less than I had thought, about 20% heavier on average relative to the minimum in the 1970s, but car size is increasing on average. (Section 4 in the below link.)

This is a PyTorch based library my team and I have been working on for the last few months, with the goal of making finetuning and using models as easy as possible for devs, even without extensive ML experience.

We've currently got support for text and image-based tasks (classification, generation, q&a, etc.), with wrappers around models like Google's T5, OpenAI's CLIP, GPT-2, Facebook's BART, and others.

We've got some features that make deployment easy, but for full transparency, it is through a paid platform [0] we've developed that is by no means necessary to use the library.

We're happy with the progress we've made, but we're curious to hear what people think so we can keep improving.

One note I have about numbers like these...

Is the question phrased in a way that distinguishes between "working remotely as you have during COVID times" vs. "working remotely post-COVID"

I think it's important to distinguish that in the mind of the responder. At the very least, get people thinking in terms of "What would WFH be like if the kids were at school much of the day?" or "What would WFH be like if we could meet with friends at 17:30?" or whatever.

What we've experienced over the last year is far less social, and far more stressful than what WFH could be.

Personally, I'd like to WFH most of the time, with sprint & release planning sessions in person.
There’s a particular political subculture dominant at most media outlets, where “by the way this is about race” is just something you’re expected to say from time to time. It’s seen as disrespectful to analyze an issue without thinking about race. Largely I think you can just read past it; you’ll note that most commenters outside this thread aren’t really mentioning race, despite how you or I would react if we encountered a racist policy.

>Do you think Plan 9 /proc would have remained as "clean" over time if it were as popular as Linux?

A lot of the appeal of Plan 9 is that it's not widely used, and so has remained opinionated. It's not a general use operating system. It's a research operating system.

That's not what I'm proposing. At the end of the day, desk workers would put their favorite mouse and notebooks in a drawer or box, and at the start of the next day in the office they would pull them out at the new desk. Nobody else would be touching their stuff.

In fact, the mouse and main notebook would probably go in their backpack.
It's interesting to read blogs, they almost universally make these leaps of faith that x implies y without noticing that they do it and spend the rest of the time operating on these faith-based assumptions.

Let me give a couple of examples from this blog:

Software devs had anti-capitalist values -> free software -> unintended consequences -> customer is the product

Do you see where the leap of faith occurred? The last arrow. If you're young and you don't know, when app stores on mobile phones started and apps got built, most of them weren't free. When facebook got started, it was free, but it had nothing to do with anti-capitalist values, etc.

Another example:

employers want people who are passionate -> do open source to prove your passion

Where's the leap of faith? The initial premise. Let me give another example that'll perhaps illustrate: when women get polled about what they look for in a man, they say: sense of humor.

Does anyone take that seriously? No, right? We know people are full of shit and say one thing and mean another? Well, not people who write blogs or comment on twitter a lot of the time!

So much of blogging and twittering, is taking false premises or helping start new ones (first example). Guys/gals, I can forgive people who have never heard of A implies B in their lives. You have, please check that A = true and A actually implies B, every step of the way.

Apply mental-tests to your own thinking - it's great that you get software to compile, please get your view of the world to compile to a level a random stranger on the internet can't tear apart within 10 seconds.
The move to remote work has made me both less productive and personally unhappy. I've mostly just been grateful that I still have a job and trying not to complain considering so many people have been laid off or have had to risk their health when going to work. But the idea of permanent long-term WFH is very unappealing.
An assembler can also do this same attack. You have to hand-assemble your basic assembler to machine code. In theory a sophisticated-enough hex editor could also be subverted, silently adding in code when it's used to edit executable-looking files. The system dynamic linker can be compromised to subvert any executable. Etc.

If a machine is compromised, it can't be recovered without access to a known-good machine.
I feel you've highlighted the core of the issue without understanding it. With diverse populations people place value on different things. You are obviously not an automotive enthusiast. There are lots who are.

I'm assuming that the location was originally chosen because it was out of the way or the area it was held in was deemed acceptable at the time. You could just outlaw it and then what happens? People will still meet up illegally. City planners have a difficult job. They need to find acceptable locations for disruptive activities.

Getting along doesn't happen by accident it takes city officials, car club members, and new and old members of the community to create a city everyone can enjoy. Easier said than done.
Unpopular opinion -- you can victim blame to a reasonable level. If a pedestrian is walking backwards, blindfolded with music blaring in their ears into a crowded highway, then they do bear some responsibility for what happens. Same with your (morally reprehensible) examples, its possible to construct a case where the "victim" all but guarantees the outcome by their own actions (e.g. suicide by cop).

The point of discussion is "what level of responsibility if any do pedestrians bear in these accidents". Your point tries to make a false moral-equivalency with rape and makes the claim "0 responsibility". I argue there is nuance and just like rape, its possible to make it more / less probable with reasonable measures, but beyond that point, it is wrong to blame the victim.

So if you disagree, then address the point: should we consider the effect that pedestrians looking at phones, J-walking or ignoring signals, and listening to music has on safety or _only_ a single factor (drivers)? If you want to actually save lives then I'd argue for examining all reasons pedestrians are being hit by cars (and not resort to moral reasons to avoid even asking the question).

> I get driven away by the difficulty and complexity to do simple things (thinking of annotations, dependency injection, complicated design patterns). It feels like an effort of one hour of Node or Python programming (or even Go) would take 10x more in Java.

You are comparing stuff that is super helpful on large project with how to be quick in 1 hour by one person. If I have 1 hour long project in java, I wont use complicated design patterns. If I dont need Spring Boot or dependency injection, I wont use them. I am not sure what you mean by complicated annotations tho.

In Java, if all what you want is a method that processes some data, you wont use any of that and will just do a class or something like that. So if python have better methods to achieve whatever you want to achieve out of the box, it will be somewhat faster. But it will have zero to do with annotations.
