This is interesting because one of the criticisms towards data science have been that it's a term so broad that two people can have the title data scientist and do completely different jobs. Hence the differentiation over time into research scientists, ML engineers etc.

Personally I might prefer the generalist hat but I see things moving in the opposite direction.

There is also the problem of hiring - if 1-10% of the job requires a lot of statistical theory/research and the rest doesn't, do you hire PhDs and ask them to mostly do the engineering tasks that they aren't necessarily prepared to do? What about the people who are perfectly capable of doing 99% of the job and picking up the extra 1% of theory - do you exclude them because they don't have the academic credentials?
Yes, this is possible with machine learning today.
If this person really said "it likely came from a lab", then i would agree with him being labeled as a conspiracy theorist. Because stating it like this also implies that you dismiss any other possible theory. There's quite a few possibilities, so saying it coming from a lab is a "common sense view" just comes across as dismissive. Especially since there's no real evidence yet.
Put it turns out people actually don’t do this for office suites... that’s the context of this story. Collabra haven’t had a new LibreOffice support client since 2018. Enterprises they try and sell to say they don’t use or want support and don’t understand the proposition.
Same, which is why I made my own bash aliases which basically streams files and text into temporary files in my home directory. I can then paste them as plaintext or move them as files. Should make a function to keep a list of the 10 latest files and query those then.

That particular sentence is a really tough knot pedagogically too. As a teacher, you want a short simple sentence that includes a nominative, genitive, dative, accusative, and verb to habituate students to thinking about cases.

Unfortunately, in the first declension, the nominative plural, genitive singular, and and dative singular all look identical, hence the confusion here. Filiae and agricolae could be any of those three options, which means, as you rightly say, that we need context to render the sentence. That introduced students to another distinctive feature of Latin: like C++, Latin has a context sensitive grammar.

If you wanted to separate the introduction of the case system from the introduction of the context sensitivity of the grammar, you could do this sentence:

> Filiabus aquam agricolae dant.

While that fixes most of the context sensitivity, it doesn't fix all of it, and introduces an irregular declension, also tough right out the gate.

Latin is a hard language to teach.

Further to this I use Pleco for chinese and not sure any Japanese get close to it.

so far quite successfully use this for Japanese doc for reading abd studying : Nihongo it is expensive but doing ocr a bit it helps a lot of doing my homework. (Not as good as it does do live ocr like Pleco.)

I wonder whether those sharp and Casio ... but they do not do ocr.
I was referring to the Joan display mentioned, but Waveshare is another interesting option. I assume you're referring to this[0] product, which would still require a Raspberry Pi, so $445 is not the total cost to get something working. Of course still much less than $899 when you throw that in.

I think the cost of the tooling did matter but I also agree about licensing costs for their server products.

The first time I got to work with Linux for money (as opposed for fun at home) was when I had a project where the MS Licensing would cost a lot more than the hardware it would run on.

They let me do it with Redhat, PHP and PostgreSQL. They bought the box from Dell and that was it. No licensing to track or pay. The freedom was just amazing and made business sense.
> Like mathematicians, theorists in Computer Science take the greatest pride in knowing and using the most sophisticated mathematics to solve problems.

This reminds me of some papers that got their proofs wrong by applying some fancy theorems. The fact that their results are correct clearly suggests that those theorems were added as a second thought.

Serious question, why is it inappropriate? It is against the "Bro Code" from "How I met your mother", but other than that? Sure, we are trained to feel uneasy about it, but if you really think about it, why exactly? Because you consider 50 year old men disgusting? Shouldn't you leave that to the women to decide? Many people also feel a bit disgusted about gay sex, yet they are supposed to tolerate and even celebrate it.

My other thought would be it seems like a bad "investment", as the older guy will most likely die before the young woman. But these days, single parenting is the norm rather than the exception. So is it really so much worse if the partner dies than if you divorce them and exclude them from your life? Yet again, single parenting is now almost being pushed as the model to aim for. And also "rainbow families" - if your partner dies, simply find a new one, it doesn't matter if they also already have kids. It is all possible and normal these days.
Chin up.

The world may be a far more horrible place than is commonly known but you can help your friends and loved ones. You can support the people you like and you can do nice things for yourself; such as a nice walk, have some great food, get a very decent sleep.

Yeah, seeing what is happening can be very very depressing, dealing with people who don't care about their own hypocrisy and double standards, who have no problem in damning a person for very minor things.

But there are other things in life and more people support your stance than you think, they're just unwilling to say it with how things are. Hope things go well for you.
Thanks for the feedback! As you noticed, the drills are more about syntax than reading comprehension, and your understanding of syntax is solid. It might be challenging to come up with multiple correct translations of each Latin exercise, but I will give some thought to how it might be done.
Uniqueness is only one part of the equation though. Hand made + beautiful + unique = amazing. Ugly pixelated jpeg generated by 300 lines of python + uniqueness = ???

It's still a good read, not only as a historical artifact, but also because many of the criticisms still apply to the spiritual descendant of Unix, Linux. It's funny to see that 20 years ago people were already complaining about X window system or Unix security philosophy.

It would be less than 3x the length, not 10x. The mountains are a problem; it could go around but would still need to dig a lot. And it doesn't seem feasible politically right now, but it could be a really cool project.

This post makes a lot of assumptions which aren't necessarily true.

In regards to money vs health: this isn't as clear-cut cause and effect. One could just as well claim that having constant financial troubles is likely to cause mental health issues, which in turn drains one's will power and likeliness to stick to a diet and regimen without comfort. In this case, money becomes the barrier to entry rather than the person making the decision to focus on not being poor over being healthy. We see this in the common argument that eating healthy is more expensive, which is too simplified: sure, eating extremely healthy is expensive, but loads of fast food bought my poor people both take up more time and are less healthy than cheaper alternatives. Clearly, there is more going on there.

Regarding sexual violence: way too many factors are at play here. Mental health issues. Correlations between attractiveness and wealth, the halo effect, etc. Just like one could argue being above average draws more attention, so too can one argue that being above average gives them power that an average person wouldn't have. Add onto that sexual violence itself doesn't necessitate the victim be above average in attractiveness at all, only that they surpassed the attractiveness floor set by the assaulter. For many assaulters, that floor is very low.

Being attractive and healthy isn't rocket science for the far majority of people. But as your second point puts it, there is too much money to be gained in pressuring both adults and kids to form poor habits and profiting off it.
If the study was about covid vaccinations, would you decide not to get a shot based on what an anonymous person on HN thought? The diffusion of expert opinions here makes it hard to take seriously.
Github could tweak the tools available to make this easier for maintainers to manage I think, for example:

— a setting to allow PRs but only if they already pass all tests & linting (using a Dockerfile supplied by the source repo). You're PR doesn't show up on the radar for the maintainer until it's already some way mergeable (and you can't edit the build agent).

— allowing issues only in the form of a PR with a new failing test case (again, ran through the pipeline created by the maintainer). Also, allowing a repo maintainer to have required fields in an issue form rather than having a template that may or may not get followed.

— some type of settings that maintainers can turn on to enable "Kudos" or thank you posts, separate to the issue tracker.

Maintainers could ask for/enforce all of those things at the moment manually, but it's putting all the friction onto their plate (rather than the people offering fly-by criticism).
One way I've done that in the past is asking explicit questions about the syntax, like:

> "If filiae is nominative, how would you translate the sentence?"

or

> What cases could agricolae be here?

if you want to introduce the context sensitivity of the grammar.
>Also, there should be more ways to "praise" a project.

Maybe github should implement a "feedback" tab where people can post their experiences of using the project. Perhaps some of those experiences would be negative too, but it would also allow people to give you neutral or positive feedback on what they like about the project, how they are using it, and what they have achieved with it.
The thing is that intellectual property can only be enforced for so long (if it's even enforcible). The wheel is a great invention - but nobody got paid for it!

If the cheap chinese knockoff works just as well, then the value proposition of your more expensive production method just isn't justifiable to the end consumer. If the knockoffs don't work well, then you have a business case (to educate your customers).
Well, why do they want to? Is it their fault? People follow incentives.

Infrastructure work is low status, janitor-adjacent or like the guy who fixes broken toilets. Academic, abstract, scientific, work is less immediate, more rhetoric-focused, more open ended, similar to lawyers and politicians and is about selling ideas. Shoveling data is like shoveling dirt, while academic abstract modeling is like an architect drawing sketches of a palace.

Like it or not, infrastructure work is thankless. Complaining is useless, either accept it or switch jobs.

>What did he do in the past 15 years outside of starting petty feuds that nobody cares about (the Linux name debacle) and being a horrible public speaker (there's heaps of stories of him being a dickhead to convention organizers, other convention guests and in general not really keeping any check on what he's even getting hired for)?

For one he managed to keep the whole GNU project true to its values by being someone people listen on the subject. How many other people do you know you can guarantee not to "monetize" and sell out such a huge project to a highest bidder in the meantime?

>Like, I recognize that what he did back in the 80s matters, but somewhere around the turn of the millenium, he seems to have done very little of actual note and in the past 3 years or so seems to have become an active liability

You do realise that his role is not so much being a coder nor even a manager, but being what in business is sometimes called "a visionary". Thankfully there are enough coders and managers involved to have GNU and Foss going. The value of Stallman in the 80s and earlier was not just in the code he wrote but the ideas he managed to implement in our collective consciousness by doing that. Now more than ever we need someone we can count on to offer advice and leadership that has no agenda other than the original values.

>Made appalling comments about the Epstein case (yes the media spun the story badly, that doesn't change that what Stallman said was horrible).

What is it that he actually said that was so "horrible"? Are you sure you are actually talking about what he said or have your opinions been formed by lies? Read this and tell me what is so horrible in his actual stance on the subject: https://www.wetheweb.org/post/cancel-we-the-Web

>Stallman is notoriously stubborn and it took him literally getting fired from the FSF to even admit that the most outstanding problem with his views (his stance on pedophilia)

Please do enlighten me on what Stallman's stance on pedophilia is? But please use actual text written by him (not ripped out of context) rather than he said she said.

I believe this lie that Stallman justifies pedophilia came from an opinion the previously linked article describes like this "(his point) is mainly that we overuse and distort the term child pornography to refer to any depiction of any minor in any context that is even vaguely sexual." Is that untrue? Have you not heard about cases where actual 17 year old people were prosecuted for pedophilia because they had their own photo on their phone that was deemed sexual in nature by some judge?
can you explain how you opted out please?

any way to use this for e.g. vnc forwarding directly? I mean, I can set it to be available via ssh but would that work?

ssh someuser@ssh-j.com -N -R some-pc:5901:localhost:5901

Now do I reach this from my vnc? I need the "someuser" and -J part when connecting? Would I have to setup another ssh connection from my local pc to ssh-j and then use localhost:5901 in vnc?
Creating and advocating for a legal framework elevates this to a different level. There is a difference between passing floppy discs to your buddies and software that whole industries are based on. It needs a solid legal foundation. And a philosophocal framework too, i it's supposed to survive.

And that's what we should credit rms for.
I agree 100%, but wait - is this theory following the Bitcoin Time Machine Cryptocurrency Adventist Council of 2020 or the Bitcoin Time Machine Cryptocurrency New Revelation of 2019?
Thanks for the feedback!

I agree with you, I should have been clearer.

I'm talking about decision-making in the context of business & life.

While reading about decision-making in that context, I've come across many concepts (such as mental models).

I've been looking for exercises that would test my understanding of those concepts.
And that would give me enough practice to turn them into habits.
I think this same technology is the basis for some cryptocurrency contracts which monetize claims on future events (prediction markets). The prediction is hashed and the topic is stored in a smart contract. Then, should the prediction be true, later the future-teller benefits from the counterparties' commitment to the opposite side of the contract.

> I get the impression that Banks was rather aggressive and unpleasant at the personal level; his more sympathetic characters are thinly sketched whereas his obnoxious ones are rendered in gratuitous detail.

Which Earth culture is that relative to? British people are just like that compared to Californians. (Well, not aggressive so much as not passive-aggressive.) Nothing compared to Finns or the French though.
Given how much the term "cancel culture" is being thrown around, I think that if someone got fired because of something they posted in HN (specially if it's a normal and reasoned opinion like almost all of the ones I'm seen in this thread) we would have seen it go round the presses five times over.

I think a lot of it is echo: someone creates an anonymous account to say something because they think they're at risk, people see it and think that they're at risk too and repeat that and in the end you have a lot of people worrying about something that practically does not happen.
I’m not sure if there is any definite resource that covers it all.

> Why would the screw need a tube

It needs some kind of retail packaging (the name of the product, a place to put a UPC sticker, etc) and the end seems pretty pointy, so there's probably a little safety mitigation there, too. Add in the functional piece and you can kill three birds with one plastic tube.
Isn't it possible that the more or less adjusted people that you speak of are simply naturally, inherently that way? If they didn't do anything to make themselves impulsive or reactive, why is it their fault? Shouldn't it be on social media for blasting everyone with it, knowing it will harm naturally sensitive people?
Really rich people will always find some way to get loopholes enshrined in law or find a foreign country willing to do it.

There is no way around. The only people paying disproportionately more in taxes are middle class people.
Incidentally that also helps rich people by having less competition at the top.

If you want fairness, no-one should be forced to pay taxes, everyone should pay for the services they use and there should be no corruptible centralised entity who can decide for everyone.
The problem is that the chinese knockoffs don't work as well, don't even look similar, but are advertised by fraudsters with marketing materials stolen from the original product.

This is not a case of someone making a cheaper version, this is someone defrauding customers.
If you Google a job applicant's name and find several articles reporting that they have been accused of rape (with just a little note at the end that the charges have been dismissed), are you really going to give them a fair chance? I don't think anyone would look at them in an unbiased way, even if they tried to.
> Two examples of his actions with different genders do not show that there is absence or presence of a gender-specific bias.

Precisely. Yet one of these two was being used as an example for unconscious gender bias.

Why were both examples not used, or conversely, one showing a bias benefiting women?

Answer: because the bias is, that all men are biased.

> For that very reason a convicted criminal in my country (in the EU) can get a document saying that they are not a convicted criminal after they paid their dues to the society.

That’s an interesting phrasing. Even you (who seems to support the policy) describe the convicted criminal as a convicted criminal, yet they’re able to get a piece of paper that says they aren’t one.

Does everyone have to produce such a paper routinely in life, or is this a case of “hi, I’m @sokoloff and, even though you didn’t ask, I’d like you to read this paper which says I’m totally not a convicted criminal”?

“A, are you a convicted criminal?” “No.”

“B, are you a convicted criminal?” “No.”

“C, are you a convicted criminal?” “This piece of paper says I’m not.”
