I also tend to overanalyze things, but books like "Atomic Habits" and "The Slight Edge" were really helpful. It made realize that there's no point to try to properly define what a task is, as what I can do at any given day depends on my physical and mental state.

How I perform when I have a bad day is completely different from my performance on a good day. Something that's a task today might not be considered like one tomorrow.

There'll be days where I'll only do 25 small things then call it a day, and that's okay.

Yes, it's called an OS. Absurd reductionist cultivating of a zoo of hyper-focused jargon to create the illusion of exclusionary expertise does not change that fact.
What are the inaccuracies? The takedown is incorrect on every point. What is the controversy?
This article doesn't make any major factual errors, but it's implicating that this is some sort of surprise, and that it's a major impediment, neither or which hold up. While training on noisy datasets is an interesting problem for many practical use-cases, a few percent label errors in these classic basic datasets (MNIST, CIFAR, ImageNet) really doesn't matter that much. The first two are basically toys to check that your system works at all at this point, and even on ImageNet the best models are now more accurate than the original labels.

However, per [1], progress on current ImageNet still correlates with true accuracy. This is in large because we move to harder tests when the easy ones stop working. In part it's also good, because training with label noise forces the use of better-generalizing solutions. The current SOTA is Meta Pseudo Labels[2], which is a particularly clever trick that never even directly exposes the final model to the training data.

This is two of the people whose work gave rise to Common Lisp criticizing work in progress on the language. True, they were both academics at MIT, but both were also industrialists--Gabriel founded Lucid and Brooks founded iRobot.

The paper is probably best understood as two insiders criticizing their own work in progress, trying to steer the community they were part of in a direction they thought would be beneficial. Gabriel was a member of the standardization committee, and Brooks was the author of papers influential in development of the standard.

No doubt. This is going to take years to sort out. The Egyption government has a lot of power here because they can simply bar Evergreen Marine from crossing the Suez and ostensibly destroy them as a business ... but then they wouldn't get anything either. Most likely it will be quietly settled in a way that all sides save face, especially if the appointed guides made a mistake.

The article seems like a caricature of itself, but to the sentiment of the title: the devil’s in the details.

I think people tend to imagine Hemingway as spare prose and pithy sentences, and when they try to mimic their stereotype of him, they end up with dry prose and dead sentences. Real Hemingway had range, often wrote long, descriptive sentences. And here we find the devil:

The trick isn’t wringing your prose down to a clear, factual account. The trick is knowing in the first place what is “necessary” to convey the truth of whatever writing.

“What literally occurred” is only one possible angle on this, and focus on that is neither necessary nor sufficient to create artful prose. Depending on the piece you may focus on what occurred, the feeling and mood of it, the reader’s relationship to any of it, or the questions any of the above evokes—-if the question is “what might this prose be _for_, at its heart?” then the list of answers is endless. And so the answer to the question “which words are necessary?” is “any of them might be, depending on what you intend to convey and to whom.”

So yes, eliminate every superfluous word, fine. Also, apply only the necessary paint strokes to the canvas. This advice is not helpful for a beginner, it’s only useful to someone who has artistry to convey and enough craft to bear critique.

That title is nonsense. For a cargo vessel to make a current 20,000 container ship to look like a "bath toy" it would have to be dozens of times as large--not something like 2 and 1/2 times as large--from 20,000 to 50,000.

> You could do the same with any new VPS/cloud function provider.

I'm not so sure this is true. Not long ago Cloudflare's CEO was making fun of people trying (and failing) to bypass Cloudflare's anti-bot measures. This allows to bypass this because as far as Cloudflare is concerned, the requests are coming from a trusted source. Setting up a proxy with a provider that isn't Cloudflare, means the requests aren't coming from a trusted source any more.
I'm fairly sure that's the desired outcome for most of these types.

The rules for var and "hoisting" are so horrible that let and const are a justified language complication; now JavaScript variable scoping is decently usable. On the other hand, Python can afford to spend its language complication budget on something more useful than specialized mechanisms to end variable scope.

Since JavaScript tends to have many more unnamed functions defined in the middle of long functions, compared to Python (which tends towards named functions, classes, or comprehensions), block scoped variables (or more precisely simple and rigorous rules about scoping) are much more useful and important in JavaScript than they would be in Python, since if there is a part of a Python function where some variable shouldn't be visible it's probably a long and complex function which can and should have its variable scopes refactored apart.
Given that CO2 in the air is a tiny fraction of air (0.03%) and it's absolutely critical for plants, plants would have evolved to utilize CO2 as much as possible, in the one of most energy efficient and safe manner that will be really hard to beat by 'artificial' means.

Point being, that besides reducing consumption (the best being is by reducing population I think, rather than doing the, feel-good recycling etc. ) allow more forests to flourish.

Side note - the fixation on CO2 as the devil or enemy number one, has connotations of a lynch mob or the intellectual who indulges in intellectual masturbation by crunching numbers, i.e a modern day religion.

> That was a painful read, sorry.

Agreed. The article felt to me like a reaction to the common refrain that, in tech, you can either be a founder or you can be a wage slave, and the former is clearly better. The product itself is secondary; the only important decision is, do you go the route of passive income ("lifestyle business"), bootstrapped business or VC-backed startup. As someone squarely in the latter camp of boring corporate coder, it can be hard to muster up much empathy, which I realize is a bit ugly of me.

The part I did find interesting was their discussion towards the middle of their free browser extension, and how the joy of others using their creation was exhilarating, while at the same time the feeling of negative criticism can be crushing. As someone who got into professional coding first by uploading code-like creations (the Native Instruments Reaktor user library) and having the same experience, I can vouch that this is the best feeling I've experienced coding and building things, and the criticism can actually help you learn to deal with such things better. It was unfortunate to me that the article then went back into some of the uglier parts about chasing money, clicks and SEO.
Ok, let's imagine you host a mtg for Linux users who are persecuted by Windows users.

A win user comes in and say that all win users are not like this. Is he disrupting?

He says that Linux users are sometimes harsh too and he suffered from that. Disrupting?

He says that this is all bullshit and win users are great. Disrupting?

For me the last one is - others are not. Except if the mtg is to one way complain (which is also a legitimate reason for a mtg, but it should honestly be announced as such)
While you are being downvoted for exposing the obviouness of the subreddits accusing others (something I have no issue with).... But the real guilty parties are the mainstream media when they let storytelling enter their coverage like what we had when white Tim Mcveigh did the Oklahoma bombing and all the large media outlets like CNN, NY Times framed muslims for that. We saw the similar coverage of the German pilot who crashed Germanwings recently by the (white) media and how different it would have been if the pilot was not white.

The white media would have covered fascist France run by dictatorial Macron differently if it was say in Russia or China or Bolivia:

> another plus is that we don’t have some vapid detail-light brand-heavy vulnerabilities-need-a-name website

AMD disclosing this vulnerability in a way in which they control the message is a big win from their corporate perspective. I'll bet their reputation/stock price takes less of a hit this way than if a security researcher discovered the vulnerability and hyped up the impact. This way AMD gets to downplay this while seeming reasonable and say up front, "most people don't need to be worried we're not aware of anyone using this attack in the wild."

This was also true when Spectre was discovered, but since Intel weren't the ones that discovered the vulnerability, the response from Intel that nobody was using it felt like they were doing damage control rather than a sincere risk assessment.

Everyone needs to mitigate every vulnerability regardless of whether an attack is being used at the moment. It will definitely be used in an attack in the future if nobody fixes it. AMD saying this is just as much damage control as when Intel did it, but it feels different.

The US did switch to the metric system over 45 years ago[1]. Many of us just prefer the customary units for many everyday uses for various reasons. For example, I find degrees Fahrenheit a more sensible choice for representing outdoor temperatures since the degree increments are slightly smaller and the typical outdoor temperature nearly always falls in the positive range. For Celsius, the triple point of water zero is a great reference for lab work, it doesn’t have any particular relevance to deciding what to wear.

A base 12 distance unit also has some pleasant properties.

The irony when people use these "gotchas" whenever anyone talks about women entering jobs they've been previously denied or actively removed from (e.g. programming?) is that you're literally complaining about the same thing as feminists, just from the other end.

Yes, we should encourage women to take on ultra dangerous[0] jobs they're underrepresented in. We should also stop thinking the problem is a lack of encouragement. Women are harassed out of male dominated fields and men ae harassed out of female dominated fields (e.g. nurses, teachers, etc). Most of this harassment comes from men, but the harassment is bad regardless of who does it.

Men are more likely to commit suicide, yes, but also more likely to use more effective (and "manly") means and thus "succeed", so the difference vanishes once you look at attempts. Men are also far more reluctant to seek mental health care or even simply go to the doctor, which drastically shortens their lifespan.

This is what feminists[1] mean when they talk about toxic masculinity: shaming men for not being "manly" enough is part of it and it's literally killing men AND women. The "patriarchy" isn't a secret club men have access to, it's a cultural order that treats men as disposable and women as property while serving only a very small elite[2].

I fully acknowledge this comment is off-topic, but so is at least the comment it is replying to and all of its siblings. I just think if you can dunk on people looking for equal rights with a quick zinger, I can at least provide a retort.

[0] For a fun time look into the severe injury risk of cheerleading compared to football. Apparently there are already ultra dangerous jobs and past-times women dominate but that we _for some reason_ don't view as dangerous or "serious". That said, yes, definitely more female deep sea welders and lumberjacks. But maybe we could also spend some time making jobs safer across the board because there's nothing manly (or womanly?) about losing your limbs or life doing a job nobody wants for mediocre pay.

[1] While you're looking up things, it's worth trying to understand the difference between feminist theory and "feminism" as seen on TV or Buzzfeed. If you've ever complained about a piece of media you like being ruined by a greedy corporation that doesn't understand any of the source material and just wants to make a quick buck, you got this. No, Buzzfeed complaining about manspreading isn't furthering the feminist agenda, it's just generating outrage because it drives engagement and thus increases ad impressions. Feminism has remarkably little to do with individual misdoings or what is in your pants and more with historical power structures built on these things that still impact us today.

[2] And before you come to any wrong conclusions: even that tiny elite is ultimately limited by the hierarchy it exists within, so literally nobody is truly benefiting from patriarchy, yet we propagate it because we prefer the familiar confines over the uncertainty of abandoning this order.

There’s probably good reasons why WB wouldn’t want to purchase the domain - the original has been so widely linked to that you’d be throwing away a ton of link equity for no good reason, the original was in 1996 so there will be a new generation of people discovering this for the first time, and well, domain names probably just don’t mean as much as they used to anyway. Still, good luck to them.

Then what is the solution? Because as far as I can tell, unless you force people to be 50/50 in a profession, it will be basically impossible to get rid of the implicit bias people have in those jobs. And I'd be willing to bet that applies to other immutable characteristics, not just gender.
Ahah, thank you! Cabal is a great word.
Or maybe instead of everyone in all of the past being biased unfairly against women in strenuous, rough, deadly roles, we are the biased ones who believe that women and men are so similar that they should all be able to fight in armies, operate dangerous machinery and equipment, etc. Etc. in equal proportions.
I was simplifying. :)

They used a variational autoencoder where the latent space representation is disentangled.

That approach is a promising way to make it easier to navigate the latent space as changes in one dimension will have a reduced or no influence on other aspects of the data encoded.

Not that it's okay but note that it is "first in Egypt" which is a lot less surprising. Outside Egypt it is a lot more common. I know a few female captains in places like in the Danish shipping company Mærsk (like this ships captain: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Axel_M%C3%A6rsk).

I'm reminded of this Richard Feynman quote:

The question of whether or not when you see something, you see only the light or you see the thing you’re looking at, is one of those dopey philosophical things that an ordinary person has no difficulty with. Even the most profound philosopher, sitting eating his dinner, has many difficulties making out that what he looks at perhaps might only be the light from the steak, but it still implies the existence of the steak which he is able to lift by the fork to his mouth. The philosophers, who were unable to make that analysis, and that idea have fallen by the wayside from hunger.
It is not false, because I made clear what mass I am talking about. Dogmatic nit-picking may satisfy your wish to feel superior to the great unwashed masses, but it is not particularly helpful.
It’s just silly to suggest this when quite simply not all IPs behave equally and the differences are not subtle. It’s annoying when “bad” IPs get reassigned and change, but that is a relatively infrequent event - and certainly CloudFlare is at least adaptive. It’s just not a principal aligned with reality.
