6 and 2 on hard mode. The failure of the model to connect ideas in long paragraphs (or to make a succinct claim) is what gives it away. It introduces far too many terms with far too little repetition and far too much specificity in such a short span.

Suggested tweak - train it against papers written by people with an Erdos number < 3 (or Feynman contributors, etc.), so that the topics and fake topics are more closely related in style and content. Maybe even feed it some of their professional letters as well. That would produce some very hard to decipher fakes.

Another great corpus for complex writing is public law books. Have it compare real laws from the training set with fake laws. I bet it would be very difficult to figure out the fake laws.

Training one of these on an entire corpus of one author (Roger Ebert, Justice Ginsberg, Joyce, anyone with a large enough body of work), and having people spot the fake paragraphs from the real ones would be very, very difficult. An entire text, however, would likely be discernible.

It is getting really, really close to being able to fool any layman, though. Impressive work!
If the terrorists and nation states are content with going after random single targets, causing low disruption, and leaving with some money, then good! That's not the scary scenario.
This is especially egregious as the whole idea of the language server protocol was proposed by Microsoft as a means of solving the problem wherein each editor has to independently implement IDE features for every language it supports (changes the number of implementations from n*m to n+m where n is the number of languages and m is the number of IDEs). Microsoft is now making it so that their product defaults to using a language server which cannot be used by any other IDE (without some owner of that IDE paying Microsft; the gnu project is not going to be paying Microsoft to allow using pylance with emacs).

There's significant dissonance here even by Microsoft's standard.

Yes, fine, the particular bus service I utilized in school was remarkably evil…

Suburban Express allegedly denied credit cards from ZIP codes with high Jewish populations, instructed employees to avoid handing out coupons to certain students who appeared not to speak English well and recorded a YouTube video in a UI dorm while complaining about the lack of English speakers and mocking Asian accents by saying "No Engrish."

…which may color my opinion just a bit.

That example is not about positive proof (i.e. proving that real evidence is real); it's about negative proof (i.e. proving that fake evidence is fake.) It's about having a way to figure out that the expert defending the evidence has been bribed, and is saying what the prosecution wants them to say.

You can't charge someone with perjury if you can't prove the faked evidence is faked—which is why so few people get charged with perjury. Any threat of perjury with no discriminatory proof mechanism to back it up, is toothless, and experts will treat such threats with exactly the respect they deserve. (Look at the Japanese court system if you don't believe me.)

Yeah ipython-sql is great and works well, and can use an environment variable for the connection string.
There’s no reasonable way to have property rights and not have rents. Over time, property rights have proven to be one of the most beneficial elements of systems that efficiently allocate resources and produce wealth for all, so eliminating them is a bad idea.

What we need is to fix corrupt local governments that prohibit the supply of new real estate via redevelopment and densification. Having lived in Houston for a while, I saw first-hand how different things are when there’s a robust competitive market with new supply constantly added to (mostly) keep up with demand. If you do a poor job as a landlord you’ll go out of business fast.

Anti-trust, anti-monopoly reform is what we need most, and no more regulatory capture. Perhaps compared with more efficient redistributive measures like the negative income tax or land value tax.
I'm not trying to make a moral argument, I'm just saying that those that fall prey to hyenas suffer much more than if they had fallen prey to a number of other predators that tend to kill swiftly before eating (feline predators and snakes for example kill quickly; many birds also tend to kill on the first strike).

Hyenas don't bother killing, they just eat, and tend to start from non-vital organs, of all places, which is quite different from what most predators would do.

For my first claim (that rapid decentralization will not achieve the climate ends), this is my own analysis based on the fact that growing enough food to feed the world requires fertilizers as inputs. Currently the fertilizers are transported in trucks to farms and spread over large swaths of land by machine. The alternative is for it to be packaged up and spread by hand or with small machines. This would require more resources, for packaging, distribution, and machine production, so would seem intuitively worse for the environment.

For the meat (not saying you should consume a meat based diet but rather one that's mostly plants that properly incorporates meat as necessary... i.e., a traditional diet): https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s10669-015-9577-y .

Also, as an aside, if you don't want to turn veggie farming into mining with some extra steps, you need to raise animals that you can grind up into fertilizer. Otherwise, you have to mine petrochemicals or bat poop, which is extremely bad for the environment.

Much more interesting, though, is what happens if Apple opens up its cohort tracking and targeting, and says that apps, or Safari, can now serve anonymous, targeted, private ads without the publisher or developer knowing the targeting data. It could create an API to serve those ads in Safari and in apps, without the publisher knowing what the cohort was or even without knowing what the ad was. What if Apple offered that, and described it as a truly ‘private, personalised’ ad model, on a platform with at least 60% of US mobile traffic, and over a billion global users

I don't understand how this works. How can publishers target ads without knowing what the cohort is?

I signed up for the newsletter (~10h ago), no ebook yet but I'm apparently enrolled in a mini-course of the same name?
I signed up, went through the training and did my first tutoring session, ended up being 2.5 hours!
Some feedback:
Some of the subject quizzes have errors (lack of parens in a math question, diagram now showing up) - it would be good to have a "report this question" to report bugs in these pages as you go through, rather than having to remember and post a bug report later

For the upchieve101 quiz - some of the questions weren't covered in the training (or I missed it e.g. what subjects do students want most help with?).

The implicit bias stuff was annoying - I agree with the idea, but there is little evidence it makes any difference to behavior: https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/the-problem-with-...

Having to implicitly agree with ideas like "being colorblind is racism" (paraphrasing) was almost enough to put me off continuing - and being told that it was a sign of white racism when I'm a brown immigrant was a little weird and suggested some unhelpful assumptions on the part of the material's author(s)

It was nice to help a student, and I think they learned a lot during the session, but I was surprised how weird it felt not having any audio interaction. Everything took much longer than it would have otherwise.

I understand the need for student safety, but not knowing anything about a student, and knowing I would never know how this student would do in future was also demotivating, it felt like taking part in "mechanical turk for tutoring". I'll try a few more times, maybe I'll get used to it. But rich kids somehow manage to stay safe with online tutors with audio and video, seems a shame to give the poor kids a crappy version of the same thing.
Lightweight DDD is a great match for Go. You don't want to go all-in -- you don't want a package usecases, for example. You just want to take the high-level concepts and apply them in a way that's idiomatic to the language. The Hexagonal Architecture is basically equivalent.

For some definition of "higher" and "slower", yes. The scale of BTC is such that if we distributed transactions evenly across the 7b people on the planet, you get one transaction per five years.

The current mining payout is 6.5BTC per block, or roughly $350,000. We are fitting around 1,500 transactions in a block, meaning each transaction costs $300. The price will only rise as more miners join and there is more demand for space in a block. The international poverty line is such that a single transaction would cost somebody at that line half their year's wages.

All that good stuff won't be available to the masses. Just the rich and powerful. Hooray.

Abstracts are relatively short, so for the length of an abstract GPT-2 might just be fusing together the abstracts of two or three related papers, so the result might look legit. It tends to wander around when the length is increased, though, and if asked to go on for long enough it will lose the plot.

Things are going to get weird once private orgs start doing asteroid redirect activities (as in: massive build up of orbital railguns, hypervelocity nukes etc. once someone points out that in 10 years or 50, it's trivial to setup a rock that'll end a moderate sized nation state).
Some noteable quotes:

> Agriculture transformed humanity’s relationship to nature, giving us dominion. Thanks to agriculture, ecologists say, we now suck up half or more of the primary productivity of the planet.
Bad idea, Mr. Harari says. Agriculture increased the amount of available food, yet the result of prosperity was not happiness but “population explosions and pampered elites.” Farmers worked harder than foragers and had a worse diet and poorer health. The surplus went to the privileged few, who used it to oppress. “The Agricultural Revolution,” Mr. Harari says, “was history’s biggest fraud.” Really? Always and everywhere? Were the Iroquois, who farmed, so much worse off than the foraging Abitibis and Témiscamingues to their north? Discussing the long dispute among anthropologists about whether the earliest hunter-gatherers lived in “peaceful paradises” or were “exceptionally cruel and violent,” Mr. Harari maintains that the question can’t be answered, because the meager data from archaeology and anthropology aren’t enough to pierce “the curtain of silence” that enshrouds our remotest ancestors. Surely the same logic applies to comparing their well-being to that of the earliest farmers.

> “The Romans, Mongols, and Aztecs voraciously conquered new lands in search of power and wealth—not of knowledge. In contrast, European imperialists set out to distant shores in the hope of obtaining new knowledge along with new territories.”

> “Unfortunately,” he says, “the Sapiens regime on earth has so far produced little that we can be proud of.”
> what the shape of the g-dose response curve is

And to make matters more complex, that dose could be spectrum, rather than a constant value. Eg, spend X hours doing Y in the compact ~2 meter centrifuge at Z g, plus ... and ... .
I think so. I tried it on my imac, and I didn't notice it until my second go.
You can say that for yourself, but it's just not realistic. Lots of people are about to learn this the hard way as SV companies start to roll out their remote-work plans. Companies are going to pay you less money if you choose to live somewhere other than Silicon Valley, or perhaps NYC. Odds are, you'll still come out way ahead.
Nah. People think they want it (hence the popularity of Rust) but it doesn't actually help you achieve any of the things you actually want to achieve.
I don't think you have a grasp on what DDD is or confusing it with more concrete architectural or design patterns. An ORM has nothing to do with Domain-Driven Design, nor bounded contexts or aggregate roots or events or the many other parts that are DDD.

Congrats zulip team! A very inspiring open source product.
Again, that fee is not something the exchange is charging you. The fee doesn't go to them.

If it is bitcoin or ethereum there are very high fees for each transaction. The exchange is showing you those fees in your native currency. They aren't getting that money, it is going to the miners.

I'm missing something here, Flatfile does that too?
For such a long article it's (IMHO) a fairly naive view. Sure insurance companies make some profit, specially in the beginning but, eventually, the price gets higher and higher and the cost to secure becomes less than the cost of insurance.

We had a similar issue with builder's insurance down here in Australia. It's was (and still is) cheaper to get insurance than build a quality building. Eventually that caught up with the builders (and they moved to using a seperate corporate entity for each building and closing it after the building is built, but that's another story of corruption).

By sending an envelope with cash. Services often offer that option. No E-mail or name disclosure required.

A few advantages: Your payment isn't traceable for all eternity for the whole world to see. The amount I pay isn't suddenly worth 10% more or less the next day. Better for the environment.

Interestingly, both the postal clause and and letters of marque are hold-overs from the (very few) powers granted by the articles of confederation. Without the power to tax or impose tariffs, I wonder to what degree the postal monopoly was seen as a revenue generating measure.
Yeah, the other thing is that these food desert studies fail to take into account ethnic differences. For example, hispanic corner stores often basically are a mini grocery store, with fresh produce and stuff. They are not the equivalent of a 7-11. But these studies often only count the Safeways and Albertsons. And plus, I grew up close to these areas and was often in South LA, and they're not food deserts. I have no idea what people are talking about. There are grocery stores everywhere.

Another strategy they use to fudge the data is not counting grocery stores that are not 'traditional'. For example, this map (http://www.povertyusa.org/stories/homelessness-food-deserts-...) has a food desert in Pico Rivera that contains a Food 4 Less.

Honestly, I don't see how the status quo in crypto actually improves on that at all (unless you are in the ransomware business, of course. Then it makes sense.)
Well I suppose what's wrong with it is that these metrics are more complicated than key=>value. The metric referred to in your quote contains a metric name, multiple attributes (status, app ID etc) and a value.
Postmark would cost us around $10k a year. I spend maybe 10 to 20 hours in a year dealing with the server and deliverability issues. It's not clear to me that Postmark could improve our deliverability much either, as it is already pretty good. How much did it improve for you?
Morressier wants academic conferences to feel cutting-edge
Clearly this is meant for bigger teams than we have at work. I've never heard the term "copy" being used this way before, nor do we have a separate design team (we wear a lot of hats).

I'm curious though, given that such a system clearly would be quite integral to the product development, how would enterprises be comfortable with this as an off-premise SaaS? Like, what if Ditto gets bought next year by Google and killed off 6 months later?

Our software is also an integral part for our customers, and while most of our smaller customers are fine with our cloud solution, all the bigger customers want on-premise installations with full source-code in escrow.
Does anyone know of a good reusable jupyter front-end?

I have a farm of jupyter kernels that I can run on demand, and would like to integrate a UI for these kernels on my React website.

I've had a look at the Jupyter default UI but it uses Luminos components which are basically not compatible with React.

Also had a look at nteract components, but their projects seem dead.

Anyone working on something similar? Clean react components to act as UI for the jupyter protocol.

Bizarre. Go kit is basically the reference model for DDD in Go.
I'm no wildlife biologist but it seems that hyenas are not big enough to take down some of their prey by the neck (without high risk of injury to themselves, where a broken leg probably means certain death), so the evolutionary adaptation is to go for the soft underbelly. Undoubtedly the prey animals do feel pain and suffer.

While we’re making a wish list, the biggest thing for me would be permissions on database tables.

By that logic, why don't they just pay everyone five million dollars a year? Doing anything less is just squeezing employees. I learned from my first startup CEO, the number one cost for almost any company is payroll. If you can't manage it, you won't survive as a company. There's a difference between compensating people fairly, or even generously, for a job well done, and just leaving money on the table.

In-vitro studies show it has antiviral effects[1] against SARS-CoV-2, at a required dosage higher than the safest achievable. If Merck says it has no statistically observable effect in a controlled trial, and the FDA discourages it's use without further study, I would say there is no widespread disinformation, but more an abundance of caution. I know many people in Southern-Africa who are taking Ivermectin as a front-line defense against COVID, but are doing so in the absence of any other treatment (Somthing must be done; this is something; therefore we must do it). Now that Sinovac is widely available and distributed, this is no longer necessary there.
