another factor could be how cohesive / fragmented the government response is -- maybe this is another facet of "authoritative control".

here's a crude model as a straw-man thought experiment:

australia has a federal government with some degree of control but the 8 local state/territory governments still get a reasonable amount of ability to make local decisions. The states often disagree with the federal government, and with each other, and have disagreed about the appropriate responses to covid in many cases.

Suppose the federal government has no ability to control anything. Each local government has a 95% chance of doing something reasonable in response to a pandemic and a 5% chance of doing something stupid. If we make the poor working assumption that each local government decides what to do independently of the others, then about 2/3rds of the time we would expect all 8 australian local governments to do something reasonable, and 1/3 of the time one or more local government will respond to the pandemic in a stupid way. So maybe we got to see the 2/3rds outcome in australia -- or perhaps we actually saw a 1/3rd outcome where stupid decisions were made that dramatically elevated risk, but we simply got lucky.

In contrast the US has say 51 local government regions, so there's about a 7% chance that they all do something reasonable and a 93% chance that at least one local government region does something stupid.

Then if it is hard or impossible to isolate the impacts of bad decisions to each local region, the impact of poor decisions in one region can help outbreaks spread in connected regions.

On another hand, a downside of having a strong central control of the entire country's response is that if that central response is stupid, then the entire country starts cohesively doing something stupid, whereas a country with more fragmented/decentralised decision making might fare a bit better locally.

How do you get good employees with such a terrible work culture? Their compensation structure doesn't seem great either.

> Employees receive 10% of their equity allotment (in some cases called profit units, since the company's an LLC) for their first year, 20% the second, 30% the third, and the final 40% the fourth year. And employees need to stay through the entire fourth year – if you leave at day 364, you're out of luck for your 40%.

AFAIK, even Amazon shares vest monthly.
I must be reading it backwards, but wasn't the order eventually upheld that the employee be reinstated? Gorsuch dissented, but he wasn't the one making the ruling. At least thats what the article I just read on it said, but I could be wrong -- it's early in the morning and I only just had my coffee!

> TransAm appealed, but in a 2-to-1 decision, a panel of the U.S. Court of Appeals affirmed the Board’s reinstatement order (TransAm Trucking v. Department of Labor, 2016). Judge Neil Gorsuch dissented.

It sounds like you've been through some childhood trauma that you haven't gotten over. If possible, I would consider seeking therapy to try to get yourself past this anger and trauma. I think your life could be much happier if you let go of this anger. Not looking at people with such suspicion will ease your life a lot.

I've found the most fascinating people are those that I share absolutely nothing in common with. I learn a lot about their lives and their views, and it's often fascinating. I met one person who is a fanatic Republican, something that I don't share, and she believes in a wide range of conspiracies. I've met people on the left that also have the same level of conspiracies coming from the other direction. Talking with people who are just like me is often boring and I find I learn a lot less that way.

Religious and spiritual bullshit killing people is nothing new and completely expected.
Just want to comment with an alternate point of view, and in no way intend to demean to diminish the emotional impact like those described in the article. Just how I feel:

I'm an intensive care physician and also function part-time as a hospitalist (acute care medical floor patients). Yes, there have been some stressful, uncertain, and fear-driven moments. But I also chose to work at a place that has a physician-led and supportive administration, and I investigated those things as part of the interview process. We had adequate staffing, a robust peer-support system (look up the "second victim" phenomenon), and my colleagues and I seem to have good coping mechanisms in place, which I assumed doctors in these kinds of specialties needed as a basic requirement.

Bottom line, I'm doing just fine, and my inpatient physician colleagues, with some exceptions, report the same. This is a difficult job at baseline without COVID. It didn't change my approach at all.

Nope! That's one way to fix the licensing issue—but you're not forced to do that.

Another option would be to immediately stop distributing your binary and not distribute it again until you can replace or otherwise excise the GPL code that caused the licensing issue.
Well that is an interesting strategy. Seems kind of high risk, high reward since equities could crash and not recover before your loan is due.
Having performed interviews at Google for about 5 years, I don't think the needing to "know how to write a value to a sequence of bytes" is representative indeed. Many of current junior candidates use Java/Python in which it seems too niche a question to be a valuable signal for a hiring committee, particularly if it's for general SWE. Either you've dealt with this problem before and you know it, or you'll struggle.

> One speculation I've read is that Australian/Japan/New Zealand's very-bad 2019 flu season was SARS-CoV-2 before it could be diagnosed

This is complete BS on par with 5G conspiracies. We know how quickly this virus spreads if left unchecked and someone would have noticed the excessive amount of dead bodies piling up. We also know it spreads very well via air travel, it would have been all over the world not long after it was spreading wildly across Australia. And if we had some sort of immunity already from a bad flu season, then why did it spread so fast when we did have outbreaks? There's absolutely no way this virus was spreading in Australia in mid-2019.

The idea it was in Australia earlier is created by people that don't like the solutions we used so they work backwards to create other explanations, quite often paired with a large dose of American Exceptionalism. Things Australia did that worked: Border closures (intenrally and externally), contact tracing, masks and lockdowns.

The exact opposite is true. These symbols require (but do not have) translation on every piece of clothing, because almost no-one understands what they mean, and it's not currently possible to type them in to Google to identify their meaning.

On the other hand, if the text was just in a language that I did not speak, I can either type this into a translation app myself, or use the automatic translation camera on my phone to identify them.

And sure, I can apparently now do that for those washing symbols too, which is nice... but why is that information being conveyed in a "language" that almost no-one speaks? I'd be just as confused if every item of clothing I purchased had washing instructions in Lojban.

I fully understand why an attempt at standardised symbols was made, being able to communicate that information more compactly would be useful, but it very clearly failed. They're not intuitive enough to learn without third-party resources, and a very very tiny fraction of the population is willing to put in the effort to do so. Just use text.
Probably. Motorcycles can't think for themselves.
I have a friend like your brother. He literally makes eye contact with everyone down the hall and nods a greeting. At the coffee shop, he will look up and catch the eye of everyone walking in. I think that’s his trick of projecting he’s open to communication.
Why can’t algorithms create art? Or even be art? By your definition much of what Pixar does isn’t “art” because it’s “just code and assets”: https://www.kqed.org/mindshift/41879/pixar-in-a-box-teaches-...
Is it safe to assume that you're in NA?

I recognize that it's way more culturally accepted with random conversations with strangers in the USA (something I really do appreciate with US culture whenever I have visited, BTW) than what I'm used to back home.

I don't think I've ever seen it happening in all my life over here. 99.9% of people will assume you're a creep/dangerously deranged individual and/or flat-out ignore you. There pretty much needs to be in a social context, preferably with alcohol, for people to accept being talked to by strangers.

Not that it should stop anyone from trying as I think it's a positive thing, but the barrier is a lot higher.

I think current context of the world as it is is full of unjustified and unjust generalization.

And as unfortunate as it sound it look like all victim of such generalization, the alumni would have to fight the prejudice associated to their choice of university.
Sorry you miss your flights a lot, but if I may, imagine you showed up on time and: A) the plane was gone and they explained you bought a ticket with an error in the flight time; or b) they informed you they cancelled your ticket and your couldn’t fly because the price of your ticket had an error.

Remember that recent viral video/news story of the Guy being dragged off a plane kicking and screaming because the airline had overbooked the flight. Airlines disclose they can overbook flights and remove passengers on such flights, usually people volunteer for freebies but no one did on this flight, they just happened to choose drag him off the plane forcefully kicking and screaming. Even when the airline had full contractual right to overbook and remove a passenger, they went about it all wrong, people still called him an asshole anyway but it was the airline that paid $140M for it.
For people who aren't familiar with Self (which is a pity), you can think of it as "if JavaScript supported multiple prototypes": fields whose name end in * all act like __proto__ (trying one after another) and the "lobby" is equivalent to the global this object (known to browser users as "window"). Many of the other semantics are the same, though the syntax is very very different... FWIW, Smalltalk's syntax maintained a lot of similarity to Self, and both share the penchant for replacing control structure with dispatch, including for basic things like loops and if statements; for people who haven't studied Smalltalk at all (another pity), Ruby is "quite different" and yet "remarkably similar", and so is worth having in an adjacent mental space.
I know it's just a conjecture, it's actually mentioned in that Github page that it's a conjecture.

I assume you don't mean the string reversal example. The fixed-point fibonacci isn't meant to show the way you'd actually write fibonacci; rather it's intended to show the debatably interesting property that you /can/ write a recursive function without giving it a name.
Delivering guns as data is a thing now, I'm sure someone is working on heroin.
Would you agree that you existed when you were just two cells? Would it be murder to travel back in time and kill the two cells that had the potential of becoming you. I think the current you would probably not want that to happen.
It's possible for someone to do good and help others without rising to the level of a hero. At least it was prior to the expansion of the word to cover far more than it originally did.

We've gone from using the word to describe people who have taken a concrete action that makes them deserving of that description to using it to describe anyone that does a job that some people sometimes end up being heroes while doing them.

Do I think most grocery store workers are heroes? No. I think it's possible to be one, but many essential elements are missing. Is that store in danger of closing because they don't have enough people to run it, and it's the only real method for people in the area to feasibly feed themselves, and while that worker really doesn't want to expose themselves, they see it as their duty to make sure the store stays open so the people around them have a way to feed themselves? That's a hero.

If it's something you would do to help others at danger to yourself when presented to you even if money was taken out of the equation? You might be a hero. I think a great many police officers and firefighters would intervene in a situation they knew they could help in even if it was dangerous, and they were off duty. I don't think that makes every police officer or firefighter a hero.

I am grateful for the people that continues to do their jobs even when it became more risky. I'll acknowledge that and I agree they helped us all, and I appreciate that and them. I don't think that makes them heroes.

The Doctor in the article might feel somewhat offended if what she went through were deemed similar to what a grocery store worker went through. If I was a grocery store worker, I would feel ashamed and embarrassed if someone tried to equate what I went through to something like what medical staff in an ICU go through. Yet, when we use the same word to describe the achievements and sacrifices of them both, and it's the highest praise we have for that, how are we not doing exactly that to some degree?
Sadly I have nothing to offer yet, other than to DM me on Twitter with questions. Always happy to answer basic ones; I love this stuff.

But you’re right, I should write up something. That guide is pretty good, but it doesn’t walk you through anything specific; it shows you a map, but doesn’t take you on a trip, so to speak.

Some tips:

Use tf.name_scopes! You probably use them for variables, but there’s a different one for operations. If you make an @op_scope decorator, you can use it on all your ML functions and immediately get lots of insights as to where the XLA ops end up mapping to in your source code.

As much as it pains me to say this, avoid tensorflow 2 style code like the plague. Pretend that if you use eager execution, someone will jump out of the bushes and shoot you. I technically use TF2.4 now, but it’s still session / graph-based, not the new tf.function magic. The new magic pipeline seems to be slower, harder to use, harder to debug, and very likely to explode when you do anything even slightly different than the tutorial examples. YMMV, and maybe things are better now (or in a future release).

The profiler is magical; leverage it whenever you can. My workflow is to start up a TPU run, then ssh into my server and fire up a Tensorboard to that model dir. Then I manually navigate to <tensorboard_url>/#profile (because the “profile” button doesn’t seem to show up in the menu anymore) which then lets you “capture profile”.

Make sure your TPU version matches your Tensorboard version. At this point we use TPU version 2.4.0, Tensorboard 2.4.1. If you get mysterious errors, this is likely the reason things are going wrong. Even TPU version 2.3.0 wasn’t enough.

Happily, the new profiling tooling is totally badass. The trace viewer is great, the op profiling is ok (though I wish it would show me all the damn ops, instead of “helpfully” hiding all but the top N ops), and the memory viewer is incredible. You can see exactly where in your pipeline is causing “peak memory usage”, what the peak is (down to the kilobyte), and have at least some idea of what’s causing it.

It’s not effortless though. The XLA fusion ops sort of make it harder to track down what’s doing what. (TF compiler is very powerful, but the trade off is that you almost never have manual control over memory usage, which can be frustrating).

All in all (or all-to-all, ha) it’s a lot of fun if you like seeing expensive hardware go brrrr, as I do. It makes it all worth it when your loss drops from 11 to 3 overnight on a 430m parameter gpt model. :)
>It's just code and art assets after all.

Paintings are just oil and canvas, fibres and minerals.

>And no artist has yet arguably manifested a visionary work from a "game engine".

I can't imagine anyone comprehensively familiar with games claiming this. Even if you want to erroneously confine yourself to a definition of art as "single-developer/artist releases unified-vision under already-established game engine", look at Fragments of Euclid, or Superliminal.

Much of "art" is about exploration of abstract concepts. Games (especially those two above) give the ability to play with spatial dynamics and perspective unconstrained by narrative or the limits of conventional medium. They very literally challenge your preconceptions about how to operate in our "normal" 3-5 dimensions. If that isn't art I don't know what is.

Google Fi launched in 2015, and I feel like this is one part of the plan that just hasn't received any updates or care. Once it wouldn't have been that bad. But now the internet ought move a little faster. Someone has a bad month & goes over & it makes life absolutely miserable on Fi. Google Fi does not have your back, does not care, is just as happy to have you go elsewhere or to work harder, be more careful next time. That your post-cap life is a shitty shitty hell is not a problem for Google Fi.
