I understand that, I know he's not a nobody, but why draw the line at him? His own rebuttal shows that he was himself building on previous work and while LSTM are very important, SOTA models are phasing them out in favour of attention based models. In computer vision CNN are still king and as far as I know he has no claim to those.

On top of that (although I understand why a researcher might not consider this to be important), Theano really helped democratize model development and deployment and it was developed at MILA under Yoshua Bengio's. You can't just hand wave the tools that actually sparked the new movement.
"No really, how can we force congress to change the rules so that elected officials can't profit from inside information? Why would they ever vote for such a bill?"

Well, those people profiting off of it would have to vote against each other's interests.

Money wins elections. Not issues, which are just window dressing. The media cartels own your attention for all your waking ours and, as MiB said, while individuals are rational and sensible, people (that is, the voting electorate) are easily scared, easily duped, and increasingly easily controlled.

So it's not just "vote against being rich", it's also "vote to lose the next election".
For a long time, Congress had an exemption to insider trading. They no longer do, but, insider trading still requires material non-public information about the company in question -- and Congressional acts are the most public thing possible. Betting that a company's stock will go up (or down) and then making it happen after you make the bet isn't insider trading, it's activist investing, and is totally legal.
I'd be happy with that, but perhaps an easier solution is to make them moderately wealthy. Pay them a top 5% salary with a guaranteed pension for life, plus mandatory open finances for life. Then there's much less incentive to resort to graft.
I don't think the data goes to Wahoo at all. I'm not running their app (other than firmware updates) - the trainer's BT+ signal is picked up directly by the iPad/Zwift. That's the big difference - Peloton uses a proprietary signal, so nobody other apps can use it.
I would emphasize that this site pays its users, not just charges them. Otherwise it invites comparisons to ihave50dollars.com, the 'real-time social feed for people who have $50.'

The problem for me wasn't just the $39/mo, that's still mildly affordable, but figured if Peloton raises the fee, there's not much I can do about it since I'm locked in.

Since I use the standalone Peloton app with my Keiser, if Peloton raises their fee I can easily switch to another one.

Downvoters: Can you explain why you are downvoting? The last paragraph might be debated, but many downvotes with zero comments? That makes no sense to me. The first two paragraphs are spot-on.

Even if you don't like the style of last paragraph, if you just look at the number of hours per worker in those countries, it is globally leading. There is real substance in this comment.
I think people should be generally excited by the prospect of resolving long term psychological issues with just a few doses.
If you have a brand new SaaS app where there is very little data (kilobytes to megabytes) and each user/team is separated from the others, you could have:

- a sqlite database for each user on the backend

- then on page load, have them download their whole sqlite db on the frontend

- sync the two with something like litestream.io compiled for webassembly

Stupid insider trading, where someone gets a tip and then trades on it, is well enforced. It's easy to catch ex post facto and the people doing it are generally of the mind that everyone is insider trading and so they're unlikely to get caught.

The problem is in the grey areas. Take the Pelosi example. The material nonpublic information was her personal policy position. Assuming she acted purely venally, are your own intentions insider information? If I know I'm going to get Chipotle for lunch tomorrow, is it insider trading to buy Chipotle shares?

If, on the other hand, her husband took a conversation he had with her about policy and then traded on it, that would be insider trading. Unless they did it over text message, however, the odds of proving it are zilch.
Checks and balances are supposed to address this issue. I think the only one which really does the job here would be the right to initiative/referendum. That or an electoral solution, but that one's really hard since new legislators will be incentivized to maintain the status quo. You would almost need a new party defined around that one issue, which is hard to imagine in the US.

Maybe an executive order could also prohibit this? I'm not sure.

Well of course there’s no “safe” 10% investment. That’s true across the board! Higher returns correlate with higher risk (otherwise a smart investor would pick the investment with the same returns and less risk).

That aside, you know what’s averaged returns of 10% that’s simple and hasn’t risked your money going to zero (assuming you have the good sense to buy and hold)?

The stock market. Bog-standard index funds, available to anyone and everyone. VTSAX has returned just about 10% since Jan 1, 2000. Ironically, it’s about double that for the past ten years (since the recession caused it to be roughly even over the first ten years of that span).

The average person doesn’t need to gamble on options to get ahead. They already do have access to products with outsize returns compatible with a level of risk tolerable for one’s retirement nest egg. What we need are jobs that allow the average wage-earner to actually save a meaningful amount of money in these instruments.
I literally searched NPR on this page and came across your comment.

I have had a sneaking suspicion I cannot shake since once about 5 years ago I was listening to an interview with a pop musician on my local NPR affiliate that I may have been wrongly biasing my sense that their guests were smarter as compared to talk show guests on more right leaning radio stations on the AM dial. Not even as a matter of their political beliefs; just when it's subject matter experts or non-political celebrities. They always sound more intellectually deep or thoughtful on NPR than on those AM stations. Wonder if it's this effect...
Doesn't Peloton still have ANT+? Plus a lot of other gym equipment uses ANT+ too, I can't understand why the apple watch doesn't have this functionality.
Haha no, just a fun coincidence.
No one said it had to be coupled. You could, in theory, expose your API as a view of some kind.
I didn't consider it that way, thanks.
Hahah yeap we're basically back to skull-size measuring. And what you write is exactly correct: It's a definitely form of "othering", arbitrarily separating people.

I've lived in both countries (US and Brazil) and another comparison I've heard made is between internal immigrants in Brazil such as from the Northeast, and Hispanic immigrants in the US (some internal, some external). A lot of it is economic. As an example, very similar economic & climate pressures that caused Northeasterners of Brazil to journey to SP, RJ, etc, caused many farmers in the dry lands of northern Mexico to move north (and seek jobs in the US as nannies & housekeepers, construction, large farms with horrible labor practices, etc).

One huge difference is language. I know many Brazilians I've chatted with were surprised to learn that ~15% of the US speaks Spanish. The US is very much a linguistically-segregated country, as much of it was once ruled by the Spanish Empire or successor states, and thus regions of it have never traditionally spoken English (and still don't). Puerto Rico of course is entirely Spanish-speaking and always has been, and areas of different states are majority Spanish-speaking, and most cities in the US have at least one or two neighborhoods that are primarily Spanish.

Is this the thing that's called "Voldemort types" in D?
It’s not a non-sequitor nor a joke, the point is to highlight the danger of linguistic relativism. If we dismiss the idea that words must follow some standard meanings, things we value can be gradually shifted into weapons of oppression.
A friend of mine from India and I were walking into a Barnes and Noble store. He stops outside the door points to the "for sale book cart" that sits outside the store and tells me if this store was in India, not only the books will be gone but the cart too. The stunning thing he tells me is its not the poor who steal but the customers who would come to the store to buy.
Look up "Deepwater Coast Guard". That didn't go well.
You are wondering why people who prioritize something else "don't care about audio quality"? Remember open offices? The likely culprit for them going with noise canceling headphones? Yeah they still have their old gear and are accustomed to it and the form factor.

Philosophically it is also why would you go with something big and cumbersome for a feature you seldom use? You don't carry a glass bed scanner in your laptop bag - you take a photo if you really need to get a digital copy of a printing. Plus not all are equally enthused or know how to filter through the crap without a large /in person show room/ that would be either filthy or a pain in the ass to disinfect before a pandemic.

Not helping matters are audiophiles being infamously placebo connoisseurs and walking proof that it is easier to fool someone than convince them they were fooled. That market is flooded with bullshit and specious claims so the default assumption for people claiming you need new more expensive audio equipment has been "ignore them, they are gullible idiots who think you need gold cables for digital connections to reduce low level noise for digital signals".
People were really bad about upgrading off of Java 6. That was pretty terrible if you operated a TLS endpoint and wanted to drop old insecure configuration options. Sorry, you've got some ancient Java 6 clients that only supports DH 1024.

And sadly the security issue is an externality to the owner of the client code. So unless you threaten to cut off their access they don't have much motivation to upgrade.
The Apple Watch battery life whilst using GPS is something like 5 or 6 hours, right? I don't know about a 245 but my Garmin watch does double that normally, and over a day in the less accurate ultratrac mode. And yes, I have required more than 5 hours on a few occasions. 5 hours is probably enough for most people most of the time but it's lacking compared to what a real sports watch can do and I personally wouldn't pay top money for Apple's half-arsed version.
I agree. And at least as near as I can tell, with only a couple weeks of using it, none of the workouts are particularly rigorous. It definitely seems oriented toward the "never done this before" or otherwise frail crowd.
What about their friends and families?
Please correct me, but here's a provocative hypothesis I spent three minutes thinking through. Couldn't you say that speculating with insider information on public markets can be a way for public officials to make a lot of money without marrying themselves to any particular interests? In that case, couldn't it be potentially a mechanism we can exploit for good?

Englebart famously demoed possible ways of interacting with computers that are now ubiquitous decades before they were actually popularized. I made a joke about him only having those ideas because he was a time traveler from the future, but tried to implement them too early. Then, after he already didn't make billions from his ideas, he couldn't use his future knowledge of investment because his demo was still big enough to change which companies got wealthy (explaining why he didn't make billions investing in the companies that actually invented those ideas in his timeline).
>Congressional acts are the most public thing possible

Ok, then own your things. Your iOS time capsule is your computer with either macOS or iTunes installed on it; you've been able to backup and sync (even wirelessly, if I'm remembering correctly) more content than an iCloud backup would let you backup anyways.

Spin up your own servers, etc. I don't really get why so many people here think AWS is the only way to run a website nowadays; you can put metal in a closet anywhere that has a good enough internet connection. If you're planning on doing shit that'll get your cloud accounts suspended, why on earth are you using a cloud provider?

The only way to _guarantee_ that you'll have access to your data no matter what is to own it, so own it!

Back to your eviction policy- it's common in my area for leases to have a clause stating that landlords may recoup delinquent rent by entering your apartment and taking your property. Legal? Don't know, but my lease as well as the leases of most of my friends have this clause in them. I also know that university housing will kick you out with < 1 week notice at my uni if you're in violation of your housing contract.

Maybe we just have very different points of view/experiences, but in my eyes you can't "own" anything in a cloud provider. This is fine for most circumstances (i.e. my personal site is on Netlify but if I get kicked off I still have all the source), but if you need to own something just put it on your own server.
I don't know anything about the BikeErg. But, I do own a CII rower. The rower's data goes through CII's servers, then synced from there to Strava (or wherever else). No direct integrations (though I think the signal is open, just nobody has built an app apart from CII).

My recommendation, if you're a cyclist, would be a Wahoo Kickr Snap (wheel drive). Easy to mount the bike, wheels stay on, so easy to pull off when you ride outside. Then use whatever app you want (Wahoo's own, if you want basic stuff; Zwift if you want the social stuff and racing; TrainerRoad if you want straight up training programs with no fluff).

The Wahoo and Stages bikes both look really nice, but they're mega-$$$$ (more than the Peloton, IIRC).
Any paper with an Edward Gorey reference gets my vote.
It's the same thing as buying a Roku and paying for Netflix.

Seems more like buying an expensive Netflix player, which will only show photo albums from an SD card unless you subscribe to Netflix.

Or, buying a Peloton bike is more like buying a Roku to watch movies and then having to pay for a Roku subscription or it's useless because it doesn't work with Netflix.
Loans would be one of the classic value creating activities, because they allow others to use otherwise idle capital to produce something new.

Currency exchange is fuzzier. If the exchange is happening to facilitate commerce, then sure, I would consider that value creation. If it's happening simply in order to support speculation in a different currency, then no, it's not value creating. And it's pretty clear from the data that the vast majority of crypto transactions are just glamorized forex trading - ie buying in order to hopefully sell later at a higher price. Add in the detrimental environmental externalities from crypto mining and you could even make the argument that crypto currency exchange actually creates negative value.
> I'm a huge proponent of Firefox on desktop, but the new Firefox on mobile is just awful awful awful.

I strongly disagree. There are certainly issues, many of which are a result of the recent redesign, but I still find it a much better experience than Chrome on mobile and I think calling it "awful" is hyperbolic. Here are some examples of why I think FF > Chrome on mobile:

Firefox mobile supports extensions which I consider necessary at this point, such as uBlock Origin.

I can put the address bar at the bottom, where my fingers are.

The reader features makes many websites much easier to read - particularly on mobile.

Chrome defaults to opening things in tab groups now, which I find to be much more finicky to use than normal tabs. Bookmarks are for saving pages long-term, not tabs.
> when you can buy the same product, for almost the same price after factoring-in VAT

Uh, not at all.

Converted to USD and without tax below. Apple products are 11-16% more expensive in Europe

iPad Air: US price $599 - Europe price without VAT $667

Macbook Air: US price $999 - Europe price without VAT $1126
I think when you look at this problem from the viewpoint of local first software - with decentralized sharing and materialized views with a set of private/public relational event source logs - it really comes together well.

This is kind of cool. It's like Urbit without... well, at least half the bullshit.

I think the growth of humanity contains much more complexity than that of a slime mold to be honest. Uncountably so.
i think the use-cases for that are pretty few and far between, at least at the 'team' level. If you have a team, you need some way to manage members, which means adding/removing members. with this model, you effectively would not be able to remove members because you wouldnt know which members had downloaded an offline copy of the team's database.

for individual users, this might have a lot more potential.
My experience in Europe was that the result of those laws is businesses that operate within the letter of the law, whereas in the US they often operate more generously.

For example Apple in the US let me return a first gen 12.9” iPad Pro after about 4 months and exchange it for the 9.7” version the week it came out.

I would have expected a flat out no from retailers in Europe.
The results are not horribly surprising, the SM7B has the same capsule as the Beta 57 which is awfully similar to the 57/58.But notice there's a 10-15dB boost below 80Hz on the SM7. They also didn't analyze the off axis response or proximity effect - the vents on the enclosure impact both drastically.

Don't look at a frequency response chart like that for insight. Anyone who has recorded a bass cab or kick drum with an SM7B would look at you sideways if you tried to use a 58 as a replacement unless you were really in a pinch.
> You haven't really saved yourself from the hassle of designing and maintaining backward compatibility for the API.

Another way to look at it is that changing the database schema is already a problem for the API which has to talk to it, so you're not really saving yourself any work by putting an extra layer between the frontend and the database.

In fact, if anything, you're doubling the amount of work, because there are now two interfaces (DB to API, and API to frontend) whose backwards compatibility you have to worry about.
Comparatively speaking, most Western countries.

It's democracy in context. Golem has requirements to participate just like the US has requirements to vote.

"Professional" and "expert" aren't synonyms. "Amateur" and "novice" aren't synonyms either.

An expert might be glad to go against a novice. But when there are artificial barriers separating "professionals" from "amateurs", barriers that have nothing to do with level of expertise, that's a different story.

Of course if you actually work in financial services industry, your personal trading is extremely restricted.
This is regardless of being in no position to see positions/flow/etc that would give you any insider edge.

The industry generally sees it as easier to show compliance by having locked down personal trading by employees.

Usually this takes the form of - ETFs only, pre-clearance required, 30 day holding periods, limited to using only a list of 5 approved brokers.. and sometimes all of the above.

The restrictions apply not just to spouses but to anyone in household, and you have to attest you are reporting any holdings of say.. your parents, if you still live at home.

So the mother of a live-at-home college grad tech support analyst who plugs in phones at a bank has more trading restrictions than senior politicians :-)
CircleCI lets you rerun a pipeline with ssh enabled so you can debug. It's helpful unless your failed step is at the end of a complex 20 minute deployment. I'll usually run my docker image locally, copy over the source, and run the pipeline by hand to debug, but then I have to set up all the environment variables that I get from CircleCI/Bitbucket Pipelines, and even then there's no guarantee that my local tests are identical to what I'm seeing in the pipeline (just today I hit a memory limit in Bitbucket pipelines that I couldn't recreate locally).
