I suppose...

1) This is an issue from 2018 (https://github.com/pytorch/pytorch/issues/5059), which links to the closed numpy issue (https://github.com/numpy/numpy/issues/9248) which just says: seed your random numbers folk.

2) The documentation in pytorch covers this (https://pytorch.org/docs/stable/data.html#randomness-in-mult...), but it's not really highlighted specifically in, eg. tutorials. (but it is in the FAQ https://pytorch.org/docs/stable/notes/faq.html#dataloader-wo...)

3) It doesn't affect windows, which uses spawn instead of fork.

4) To quote the author:

> I downloaded and analysed over a hundred thousand repositories from GitHub that import PyTorch. I kept projects that use NumPy’s random number generator with multi-process data loading. Out of these, over 95% of the repositories are plagued by this problem.

^ No actual stats, just some vague hand waving; this just seems like nonsense.

So, I suppose... there's some truth to it being a documentation issue, but I guess the title + (1-3) kind of say to me: OP thought they discovered something significant... turns out, they didn't.

Oh well, spin it into some page views.
Ok panopticon
Late edit: By zero transparency, I meant zero opacity. I.e., it'll start fading as it approaches approaches 100% scale from %60 scale. And not clarify, by non-uniform scaling, I'm referring to elements stretched in the X axis more or less than they are in the Y axis.

>No actual stats, just some vague hand waving; this just seems like nonsense.

i had exactly the same thought - if they'd actually crawled github they'd have some nice plots to back up the claim.

you can see they got a lot of attention and funding from VCs during the past year 2020, basically their business model is to gain as many developer's profile as possible, use all ways to convince you sign up at some low rate ($20-$50/hr, or $3000-5000 monthly) and try to upsell your profile to US remote employers, can be charging US employers for ($50-$150/hr) and keep more than 50% as profit,

So, if you are US based developer you'd better keep far away from them as far as possible, even $5k can't have a good decent life because they provide zero benefits, no medical / no pay for leave days; but for some undeveloped countries, $1-3k monthly can be good income

If you are US-based, and are already the top earning ones ($500k+), you may have no concerns for your own future, but for next generation new graduates, I have seen this trend of a US company would rather hire overseas via those agencies instead of hiring the US based, I am seeing a pessimistic future for them

I am posting this thread also because my friend's nephew at last year of college asked me if there's any internship at the company I am working, as I know for each prior years there were always some number of college graduates internship, but now it's all gone, the company is just hiring more and more overseas instead; I'm feeling sorry to my friend, and as the list of Crewscale/Turing/Andela/Upstack/... growing longer and longer, this can happen to any American's nephew
Seems like an arbitrary comparison. Why would minimum wage (a federal law) be linked to bonuses on Wall Street?

I’d be interested to know if low and entry level roles on Wall Street increased.
It works well, color me impressed.
> This indicates that if the immune system is primed to identify a certain variant, its performance is hindered as opposed to a naive immune system.

This does not mean that the performance is hindered. It just means that there is a larger immune system performance differential.

Here is how it might work.

The regular COVID-19 is highly prevalent, the variant has much less prevalent. The vaccine is highly effective against regular COVID-19. Let's also say that it is somewhat effective against the variant so the performance of the vaccinated immune system is actually better than the naive immune system.

Because of the selection effect, you could have a higher variant prevalence compared to regular COVID-19 in the vaccinated population, even though the vaccine actually improves the peformance of the immune system with regards to the variant.
So what? I am fully in support of increasing minimum wage but I've been seeing articles like this for weeks and it is frankly garbage ragebait that I hesitate to call journalism.
Except the flat file part. What was lacking with postgress?

It has decent json support and v8 javascript build-in.
One note here is that "aerosol" =/= "spread through the air". The debate was not over whether or not the virus was spread through the air, but whether or not it was spread via droplets (relatively "large" particles that spread through the air, but will settle relatively quickly onto surfaces) or aerosols (relatively small particles that are likely to linger for longer).

The evidence for aerosol transmission outside of specific medical procedures (the aptly named "aerosol generating procedures") wasn't nearly as overwhelming, and most epidemiologists I know were more than willing to characterize the transmission of COVID-19 as likely being on a continuum (documents I wrote were discussing this in early May).
Having 3 months of salary stashed aside is standard financial advice in Germany. This is not saying that everyone or even most people do it (most couldn’t even afford to do it), but no one would ever call someone like that a prepper.
Without going into subjective current event interpretation, the phenomenon is well illustrated in HBO's Chernobyl with the plant engineers and manager, or the show trial. Their discounting of material facts in favour of "the expected answer" by higher-ups is an endemic (and probably rational) strategy in response to ruthless (central plan+party politics)'d organisations.
I live in NZ, previously in Italy and Mexico. My comments weren't related to the US or UK
You are right. I think we are being gas-lighted.

It's not about whether the current restrictions are the best or not. It's about whether anything should be done at all as evidenced by critics' lack of concrete proposals of what they would do instead. Presumably nothing.
I've switched to Celcius as an American since weather is mostly conveyed to me through the phone now-a-days. I've been using it for 2 years now and I am pretty well calibrated to California temperatures: 14C or lower, wear a jacket, 15-25C slightly chilly to pleasant, 25-35C is warm and hot.

It indeed is just about getting used to it. Precision of Farenheit actually gets in the way, usually we don't really care if it is 41F or 42F. It's the same. Wear a jacket.

I still can't get used to cm for measurement of everyday objects. Inches are just so easy for me.

In terms of weight/volume, I use ml/liters for fluids and g/kg for weight everywhere I can.
This is why there are already plans afoot for a third booster shot: https://www.nbcnews.com/health/health-news/third-pfizer-dose...
Did computer science as a field exist in Lady Ada's time? No, it did not. And where did computing science get its formal beginnings? In mathematics departments.

I guess I just have an inclusionist mindset with these matters. Popularizers, esotericists, eccentrics, early pioneers of new thought-tech, and people in closely associated fields should at least be considered in projects like this. Contributing to mathematics culture seems important to me, not just contributing to mathematics achievements.
>It's an unfocused rant.

I agree with the gist of this statement, but not the severity.

>He should have picked one target.

If it wasn't a blog I would agree, but everything that's mentioned led to the decision of opting out, which is what I wanted to communicate.
The author is eliding the debate as to whether transmission was aerosol vs. droplet (which was controversial and difficult to settle) with "did it get passed via the air", which was not.

I will say the lack of fomite transmission remains surprising, and one of the few ways we have been fortunate this pandemic.

There was very little debate about asymptomatic transmission. But there's a great deal of difference between "Are there asymptomatic carriers?" and "How many, and how efficiently do they transmit?"
I recently started using `kitty` terminal emulator. It's very fast and fully customisable.
Well, without standing on one side or the other, humans typically do have tools to attempt to predict potential outcomes. For example, you normally would not put a fork into a socket while telling me you can't decide what to do without doing it. I am not saying analogy is applicable here, but there are some studies suggesting simply 'raising' minimum wage will not work the way some proponents argue.
But why are you doing this to yourself? The impact of not getting minimum sleep will have all sorts of bad effects on your body, not just cognition. Try to find a balance and what you consider as permanent cognitive impairment may revert, but even if it doesn’t you don’t want to make it worse
Asymptomatic transmission isn't at all an unusual concept in infectious disease epidemiology.
Perhaps you could produce an array of results for the human to pick the one that matches expectation best.

I upload a hand holding a ring. It removed everything except the hand (which is the most logical) but if it included the hand it would still be a valid result.
I’d guess that over the long run this wouldn’t happen as long as their is still some faith in the value of the coin.

I could see this happening temporarily if the price of Bitcoin were to significantly drop for a sustained period of time I’d wager there would be a lag period between what people think the coin is worth and what the market values its worth at leading to an unwillingness to transact / mine for a period of time. Once people’s perception of the coin’s value and the market value realign I imagine transactions would start flowing again.

(I’m curious of what others think of this.)
NZ just raised our min wage to $20 an hour.

I work at least 50 hours a week. A teenager at MacDonalds now earns a good fraction of my income if they work the same hours. Despite my 4 year degree, near decade of experience and the responsibility's that I hold.
Not clear to me why she refers to this as "metaepistemology" rather than just "epistemology". Seems to me the latter would fit fine.
Asymptomatic transmission is the concept in question. Symptomatic transmission is the typical case -- you cough, sneeze, etc., and give it to others.

There's still quite a bit of debate over this question, despite the article's insistence that the matter is settled. The data supporting it comes mostly from modeling studies, and real-world data is thin on the ground. Mostly anecdotes.

We have lots of examples of pre-symptomatic (or minimally-symptomatic) transmission for other illnesses, but these tend to be limited (e.g. spread within households), and it's always been a bit of a stretch to make the claim that completely healthy people are spreading diseases widely in "super-spreader" events via casual encounters. Does it happen? Sure. Is it common? Ehhhh.

Even with Covid, we know that the majority of transmission (something like 80%) occurs within households. Of the remainder, as TFA notes, there's an "overdispersion", where a few people are responsible for most of the spread. Is it really likely that these "superspreader" people are mostly completely healthy, without symptoms, and yet unknowingly spreading it to vast numbers of people? Or is that just something that we've found a few times, and makes the most memorable anecdotes?

It is certainly not the hypothesis you would favor based on parsimony alone. If you were a betting person, you'd probably put your money on the idea that someone is a little bit sick (but not so sick as to stay home in bed), and the disease can spread by aerosol or droplet with low probability. That's a much simpler explanation for the same pattern: someone has a tickle in their throat or a slight fever, but goes to the restaurant/office/wherever anyway. Set the probability of transmission to a low p-value, and let the poisson distribution do the rest. Just by chance alone, you will see rare occasions where large(r) groups of people get infected.
Somebody earning pennies more than minimum wage would be excluded from this analysis, despite the fact that they’re earning poverty wages and would benefit from an increase to the minimum wage.

> the Congressional Budget Office released its analysis of the Raise the Wage Act of 2021, reporting that increasing the federal minimum wage to $15 per hour would affect 17 million workers who are currently making below that. Another 10 million additional workers earning slightly above $15 per hour would be affected.

Yup, with the Adblock package on openwrt this was a one click option in the GUI. Doesn’t help with DoH unfortunately, but it definitely helps in general.
> Let's also say that it is somewhat effective against the variant so the performance of the vaccinated immune system is actually better than the naive immune system.

This is begging the question.

> Because of the selection effect, you could have a higher variant prevalence compared to regular COVID-19 in the vaccinated population

They are measuring the prevalence of the variant between vaccinated and control groups of similar size, not the share of variants within the vaccinated groups.
Could also be a case of low ego or imposter syndrome
From the reports fine prints: "Estimates of the number of minimum wage workers in this report pertain only to workers who are paid hourly rates. Salaried workers and other workers who are not paid by the hour are excluded, even though some have earnings that, if converted to hourly rates, would be at or below the federal minimum wage. Consequently, the estimates presented in this report likely underestimate the actual number of workers with hourly earnings at or below the minimum wage."

Could it be that the structure of labor changed since 1979 with more salaried worker at minimum wage?
Once in Cambodia I went to a buddhist temple. On the stone walls some depictions of the buda had him holding a measuring square - I was like, who would have thought buda would be interested in Pythagorean affairs.
Nope, it's likely some vendor modified android that is aggressively terminating background services to save battery
If minimum wage had grown at the same rate as the US federal debt it would be $408/hour

Wall Street compensation has become more and more bonus heavy over time (i.e., the salary to bonus ratio has shifted even keeping total comp fixed), so the methodology here really just does not make sense on top of the other flaws folks are pointing out.
Fascinated by that undulating curtain wall - never seen it before, and figuring out the purpose is exciting.
Humans have predicted inflation for years (decades) due to increase in money supply. So human can be wrong sometimes...
No offense, but why was this question even asked? What are the people's needs in the first place? I saw a similar study that suggested the best way to improve mental health and economic consequences among the poor is to *drumroll give them money. Then they will create sustainable interventions that don't require source of money to improve the lives.
This stuff will never end... I give up with everything...

I don't see what the big deal is at all. I'm glad to see them innovating and extending crypto to the masses in a user-friendly and private way. It's more than I see most crypto teams doing.
Why should Wall Street bonuses grow this much and minimum wage not?
> Changes in institutional ownership may signify what you are arguing.

Agreed, but we don't have access to this, so we need to use what's available.

The level of institutional ownership (10%) is useful because it provides approximate/rough bounds on its changes over the last 12 months.

Take the limit to see why it's useful: If IO% is currently 0% (100%), we can conclude with some confidence that a protracted move from $0.5 to its current price of $7.5 is retail (institutional) driven.

An IO% of 10% doesn't conclusively show that a protracted move is retail driven (for a bunch of reasons, some of which you've highlighted), but it does suggest it (especially in this case where all traded volume is recent), absent better info.

> look at when ARK stopped buying and how the price fell

I feel that this is a bit of curve fitting.

Retail in general has been selling since January. NNDM's January blow-off was largely GME-hype related, and since then all retail favourites have been weak.

Compare the NIO chart to the NNDM chart. They're completely unrelated but topped out at the identical dates and have sold off in the exact same way.

This strongly suggests correlation driven by retail flows. Why else would NNDM and NIO track each other so closely since January 2021?

> dilution continued.

Was there recent dilution? They engaged with an underwriter at a very high offering price, but the 424B5 doesn't suggest an obligation to buy. Since the price tanked after the date of this engagement, I'd assume that no counterparties would've purchased any stock?

> Recent activity as of March may be retail activity, but that's not what I meant by recent.

I'm talking about the last 12 months. ARKK only held 5%, which leaves 95%.
>A substantial risk of passing a deadly virus on to vulnerable people is not a freedom, it's negligence.

Stay-at-home orders/curfews are affronts to freedom. Derailing this to imply wanting to go outside at all is negligence is disingenuous. Preventing people from seeing other people over long period of times is known to be psychologically bad for human (and is a form of torture, see [1]. Although it is different in some ways, it seems clear its not good for the population well-being).

>nor a foolproof way (even now) to test everyone at-risk populations might come in contact with.

Don't let perfection hinder practicality. Keeping at-risk population away from infected people at a good rate is very feasible. It doesn't have to be foolproof (nor is it right now). It does not seem either harder or worse than what we are doing right now.

From your description, it's possible that you have undiagnosed ADHD, though probably not caused by lack of sleep. It's always worth talking to a doctor about these things — there might be a way to get your focus back.
Language is so much more than that. We experience the world in something like 16k+ but we don't re-experience the world for others with the same fidelity w/o a lot of work.

That is why we write poetry and use simile and analogy to communicate experiences and concepts.

Except you could see cases went down in a very similar way in places with no curfew around that same time period. It's asinine to credit the curfews for that. Unless you also don't mind blaming the current uptrend on... Curfews too? Because otherwise it's just an unfalsifiable hypothesis :

1) if cases go down it's thanks to Legault and his "audacious measures" like curfews

2) if cases go up the population is to blame but the measures still work and we just need more of them
So what? The wealth gap is increasing. Its increase is so huge we need examples like this to just comprehend how bad it's gotten.
You are arguing the wrong point, it is you who should be paid more rather than the teenager who should be paid less.
Congratulations on the release!

It would nice to be able to see some examples on the homepage.
Well I guess it's presented poorly by saying "your" odds. Those numbers are for everyone as a whole, the likelyhood of any person dying amongst everyone else by a specific cause. Not a specific individual's odds.

Cablin: A Schema for Scripting in GUI
The one you found is good for basic queries, but misses a lot of basic sql usage scenarios, such as window functions. It is PG-oriented, but i suggest https://www.postgresqltutorial.com.
It also contains a sample database to practise (https://www.postgresqltutorial.com/postgresql-sample-databas...).
More than it does now, but since wages are only a small part of the costs people would still be better off.
>Allocating capital towards the most useful projects is a valuable real world skill

It would be if that's what speculation actually did, but it doesn't. Everything that predominantly boils down to making money with money needs to go.

>but it isn’t as simple as to say everyone working in finance is useless.

Agreed.
What proportion of salaried positions do you really think are paying $16k/year? I feel like people are stretching to paint a more meager picture than reality. Same with all the chatter about multiple jobs, when BLS numbers were also really low, single digit percentages if I'm not mistaken.
Yeah, I'd run into this 2 years ago and ended up also reporting an issue on the Centernet repo [1]

The solution I have in that issue adapts from the very helpful discussions in the original Pytorch issue [2]

`worker_init_fn=lambda id: np.random.seed(torch.initial_seed() // 2*32 + id)`

I will admit that this is *very* easy to mess up as evidenced by the fact that examples in the official tutorials for Pytorch and other well known code-bases suffer from it. In the Pytorch training framework I've helped develop at work, we've implemented a custom `worker_init_fn` as outlined in [1] that is the default for all "trainer" instances who are responsible for instantiating DataLoaders in 99% of our training runs.

Also, as an aside, Holy Clickbaity title Batman! Maybe I should have blogged about this 2 years ago. Heck, every 6 months or so, I think that, and then I realize that I'd rather spend time with my kids and on my hobbies when I'm not working on interesting ML stuff and/or coding. An added side benefit is not having to worry about making idiotic clickbaity titles like this to farm karma, or provide high-quality unpaid labor for Medium in order for my efforts to be actually seen by people. But it could also just be that I'm lazy :-)

"You're making a mistake" sounds like one shouldn't use PyTorch and NumPy together, when the actual message is "there might be a mistake in your code".
