Naively coming out of school, this slow realization that I would never be able to save any money by making cool gadgets was a bummer.
I can relate to that feeling, you start a sport so you dive straight into downloading all of the apps to track yourself etc, I get it, I totally get it.
In my high school IT class we got to play Halo CE if we got all of our work done early. I made a play game batch script that started the game, but also planted a secret batch script with an unsuspecting name into your startup folder, that would open and close your CD drive at random intervals. The teacher let it go on for a week or two, he thought it was hilarious
The <a> tag may be the least expressive tag in all of html. It seems all the time and effort of the past decades have been spent making tags more semantic and leaving layout to CSS (a good thing), the humble <a href=..> has evolved little. Other than picking up new protocols to understand, it's still just a link. But nothing about the tag says what kind of link. There's nothing in the tag that says anything about the kind of relationship between source and destination. If you think of the web as a directed graph, the edges don't even have a weight. What's needed is a property graph model: https://www.dataversity.net/what-is-a-property-graph/
For common neural network models, the output probability has no meaning for out of distribution inputs, so you need to do an ensemble or some other method to get at the actual model confidence. I don't know enough about Gaussian processes to know if they have any limitations like that.

But it's an interesting point, e.g. if a CNN works better on in-distribution data, but a Gaussian process is better at providing a confidence estimate for OOD points (if it does), a hybrid model is possible.
Also notice the output faucet is shaped like a cat, as in "cat to null"

Immunity goes away after a while, just like the flu. I had Covid in March of last year and donated antibody-rich plasma but was limited in time to how long I could donate for this very reason. And variants pop up that you don't have immunity to even if you still had antibodies. I'll be 2 weeks post my second dose of Pfizer for this very reason. The most common variant in the US is now B117 (the UK variant), which I did not have, but which the vaccine is effective against.

You do NOT want to get Covid-19. Get the vaccine. I still have to use an electronic natural gas detector in our kitchen to check for gas leaks since my sense of smell is still broken. My friend's aunt just died. Her asymptomatic daughter brought Covid-19 to Passover dinner and killed her.

> I read awhile back (but can't find the source anymore, so grin of salt) that when USPS processing centers get overwhelmed they switch from a queue based system to ~~FIFO~~ LIFO. Which would make sense that some packages have been lost for months while newer ones seem to be going through the system just fine.

If this is true, it could explain it. And it wouldn’t surprise me if they did to keep the majority if the system working.

This does lead to a capacity issue and explains why some might not make it while the majority did.
Is it? Republicans have been far 'whiter' than Democrats since well before the Trump era.

Lockdown loneliness could leave people 'stuck', charity warns
It all comes down to the fact that women in general don't see small/absent pockets as much of a factor when buying pants, while men typically do. Those pockets cost money to put in and in the razor thin margin clothing industry that means the pockets are going to be missing or tiny.

Tbf though, it's quite possible at this point that there are so few women's pants with pockets that even those who do see it as a deal-breaker are unable to express their preference with their wallets. I also suspect those that don't value pockets would change their minds the moment they actually got pants with real pockets too.

I don't think this is going to change until enough women band together and start boycotting brands with tiny/absent pockets and start championing brands that do offer proper pockets. This kind of strategy does work btw, possibly a little too well. It certainly worked in make-up industry where up until recently they basically didn't offer shades for non-white people and now overnight all of them are viciously competing on who offers the most shades (in some cases hundreds). This issue may not have the same importance and power as racial equality does, but it's proof enough that if you kick up enough stink the market will respond. I wouldn't be surprised if women's pockets dwarfed mens if this ever happened.

> Forest is good for helping create good habits though.

Yeah, it's basically a game where you do better the longer you can keep away from your phone: You set a timer and your virtual tree dies if you use your phone before the timer is up and it can finish growing. Every tree you grow or kill gets added to your virtual forest, so it ends up looking pretty bad if you keep killing them.

I suggested it to a co-worker and he likes it, seems to really work for him.
Mmmm. Nice logic there. Examine the following and see if you can detect where things get... off.

>Ya know what? I'm gonna make a thing that lets third party sellers sell their products and avail themselves of my burgeoning logistics network! It'll be so cash. I'll charge 'em pennies, they get to sell to a wide audience, I get use out of my logistics network, win-win.

Sounds like the start of some good ole fashion enterprise right?

>Hey, now that I got everyone on here, and since I'vegot all this seller data just lying around, we should do something with it. Charts, graphs, the whole shebang. Can charge extra or piecemeal to help people do more business, thereby enabling them to get more regular product flow, possibly even getting them to sign up and pay me for use of my logistics network to cache their stuff. I can turn around and offer supply reliability to end consumers, I can offer revenue stability and insight into invemtory profitability for my merchants, and I'm still making bank off my logistics network! Win-win-win for everyone around.

Still good, right?

>Hey, we got all this sales data laying around right? Why don't we aggregate it to see what's moving in the market overall so we can diversify into becoming a merchant competing in our own marketplace without any of the risk anyone else has to take because we have the ability to front-run commodity movement using info no one else has available to them at that level of abstraction oroverall visibility. Oh... Also, don't say 'Front-Run' because it'llmake the compliance and legal people upset, but it's totally what we're doing. Bonus point: with our scale, if we do find a winner, we can get in at rock bottom deals from the manufacturer, meaning we can ectract the value potential better than anyone else out there.. Sure, some of the merchants may lose out, but it's our platform, and their data is on our stuff right? Admin's priveleges. Besides, it isn't their sales data, we can just generate some anonymized non-vendor specifiic metadata to search using the web services we implement! Then it's our data not theirs!*

If you don't see where one of those three starts getting anti-competitive and abusive, you are waaaaaay too far down the slippery slope of the monopolist slip-n-slide.

The last one may be somewhat ham-fisted, but it's not far from some of the more... Fraught... conversations on the virtues and prickly points of business models with coworkers in the break room.

I assure you it does happen. Check out the GooglePay and ApplePay branding guides for similar examples of things that you read that make you go "Huh, is that why that's confidential? Because it tells you to do anti-competitiive things?"

Good luck finding a copy of course. You'll just need to find a poorly packed truck or something.
The point is spot on, many AI systems would be more expensive in practice to maintain than the problems they solve. People are enamored by AI but the practicality of its application in many business problems is challenged in my experience. Better off just hiring a human in many cases.
", one adult is constantly watching the kid, and the other is taking care of household tasks"

I know I can't do any deep work, when it is my turn to watch our toddler - but I am very capable of doing household related tasks, etc.

And I also have to say, without trying to impose it, but I know this from other parents and sometimes from myself: you definitely can give too much attention to a child - unless you want them to become egocentric narcists, who think the whole world turns around them. Those childs will have a hard time later on, learning that this is not true. And everyone around them, will suffer with them.

But of course, I don't know how you actually do things, but this is the image that came to my mind, a image I have seen quite a lot in my generation.

I'm trying to change careers from mostly seasonal customer service work and data entry to software development. I have excellent communication skills, learn quickly, and adapt well to new teams.
Thanks! That's definitely along the same lines, although that's for the special case of only a single fundamental frequency (with overtones). And I'm not sure it uses deconvolution -- I've heard of maximum likelihood estimation being used, in order to get a single frequency, though the ideas are closely related.

Using deconvolution would be more for the purposes of cleaning up a general-purpose spectrogram for human eyes -- for analysis and for sound editing, whether a single voice or a band of several instruments.
I think you are right about the lack of recognizing time value, but the rest of the problem is making assumptions based on sex or anything else and then proscribing them. There are all kinds of people who do t fit into all these nice little labels being thrown about, and they also get neglected.
I worked with a guy in the early 1990's that wrote a chipset simulator for evaluating IO/RAM tuning in C++. He was extremely verbose, which was nice to a point: he exceeded the Turbo C++ limit for 256-character max variable names. Needless to say his code did not print nicely into 80 columns.

I don’t drive, which is terribly inconvenient, but I believe it would be ethically wrong for me to do so.

I theoretically know how to drive, but I’m very bad at it for lack of experience, which makes me a hazard to myself and others if I do drive. I could be a better driver if I had more experience, but I can only obtain that experience by driving, in which case I’d be endangering the lives of myself and others. So I’m stuck.

It’s a vicious cycle.

It's only legal and socially acceptable in one direction. If there were a house for men only, in the current bizarre culture in the US, that would be considered misogynist, and Twitter would set about getting the founders fired from their jobs for even attempting it. However, an all female house is considered "progressive" and widely applauded.

The argument is that underrepresented groups (e.g. women in tech) should be allowed to discriminate because they are underrepresented. It's a very short-sighted argument, as the inevitable result is in an ever-increasing cycle of backlash and further discrimination on all sides. But Twitter mobs aren't known for their ability to think long-term.
This assumes that you've noticed the problem before irreparable damage occurs, and you're familiar enough with motors to know what to look for and where to find parts. Neither was true in my case.
One simple one: If I start multiple Kopies/file downloads, Windows will run them all in parallel, even if they run through the same connection. So if after 50% there´s a connection drop, all of them will abort. This used to be especially bad on nicely defragmented disks, because the extra seeking makes parallel copies slower then sequential ones.

Even after all this time, they can`t figure out to automatically chain I/O operations (or at least give me some UI to do it explicitly).

Only inside the loop, which is a small fraction of the city's area. They also point out the pervasive use of restrictive convenants, which make most of the suburbs much like their counterparts in other cities.

One thing they didn't mention is that some parts of the inner loop are not getting any kind of development; mostly the south west loop. As always it's complicated but there are socioeconomic and race issues bundled up in it. At least that was true a dozen years ago.
It's not even 50%, according to the FTC[1]:

> Courts do not require a literal monopoly before applying rules for single firm conduct; that term is used as shorthand for a firm with significant and durable market power — that is, the long term ability to raise price or exclude competitors. That is how that term is used here: a "monopolist" is a firm with significant and durable market power.

I've had horrible luck driving cars - thankfully nothing as bad as injuring humans or colliding with oncoming traffic, but I've come close. The stakes - and expenses - are so high compared to other forms of transportation.

I did experiment with CWT in past [1] and was disappointed, to be honest. Not only it's grossly slow and complicated, it hardly gives more fidelity than plain FFT, it has the "window problem" which makes the low freqs too blurred and the high freqs too sharp, and it has the "wrapping ends" problem that makes it necessary to pad the input (about 1 million samples at least) with sufficient zero padding on both ends, as otherwise the two ends will interfere with each other.

Below is my GPU-based CWT that's 50x slower than the JS-only version in the post above.

Houston is apparently sinking as fast as New Orleans. 2 inches a year in some places (up to 12 feet since 1920).

Venice isn't just dealing with sea level rise, it's also sinking into the sea due to ground water pumping.

As sea level rises we are probably going to have to find ways to get water back into the aquifers faster. Both to stop subsidence and to keep it out of the oceans. More the former than the latter, but here are some numbers:

The surface area of the oceans is about 361.9 million square kilometers. Since a millimeter is a millionth of a kilometer, every millimeter of sea level rise is over 361.9 km^3 of water. The USGS pegged our aquifers as down 800-1000 km^3 in 2008 an the rate per year is over 25 km^3, and different sources seem to say we're now globally somewhere around 300-400 km^3 net loss in ground water. Per year.

And in the worst places the ground is sinking 2 feet per year due to pumping.

Not only that, but kids notice it when you're not there, and they grow to resent you for it regardless of what your explanation for being gone is. This can either be a physical absence or an emotional absence.

When I was a kid, my dad went through a religious conversion. My mom, remaining a good Catholic, stayed with him regardless of his life choices. One morning in a fit of rage, she told an 8 year old me "if you go to church with him then I'm not your momma anymore."

Now, she didn't mean it. She has always been more loving and caring than I had any right to. But the words "I love you" were absent from her vocabulary. With an adult's perspective, I see that it's how my grandparents were in their personal relationships with their kids, too, although my grandmother had a great deal of warmth and love to express to us.

It wasn't until I was in a van with my sisters and my dad and we got into a roll over accident that I heard those words again from my mom. Covered from head to doe with bandaids and bandages and in my bed, she came by to comfort me and I shrank away. She asked me if I was alright, and if I needed her to stay with me that night, but then she asked "do you think I don't love you?"

To which I replied: "That's what you told me when I was sitting at the kitchen table getting ready for church." She had forgotten about the moment, because she was one who made ultimatums to kids whenever she had lost her patience. I never did. And so from 8 to 12, I spent my childhood believing that my dad was crazy and my mom didn't love me.

It matters. It affected my early childhood. I was a straight C student with a penchant for being incredibly disorganized and distracted. I also read over 400 books my 3rd grade year because it was my escape from reality.

Today, I know my mom would have done anything for me, but she had to she tell me that she loved me, first.
