Yeah, that's what I'd put as "too much monitoring" already, although I realize in the US with license plate scanning companies etc privacy in that regard is pretty much not a thing anyways.
I gave Stadia a try a while back.

It worked really well, but I was instantly disappointed by the game selection. When you advertise being able to play the latest, coolest games to me, I expect there to be a selection of the coolest, latest, games. I was really thinking I'd be able to play the latest, Doom incarnation and such. If I recall correctly, Doom was there but at a separate additional cost that made it very unattractive to me.

I think I did the free trial plus one addition month of paid before I gave up on it.
Exactly, and steam isn't going anywhere anytime soon, so I don't have to worry more about the game itself becoming dated or unsuccessful and pulling down their servers way before Steam decides does.
So wait, does this also come with all tracking disabled? That would be awesome. Are they trying to test the waters with regard to alternate monetization strategies, or this is simply a way to doubly monetize subscribed users, via the monthly fee _and_ their data?
Yes, it says it is from carrying a colorblind gene, usually red-green. But they have six copies of rhodopsin encoding dna, usuall 3 of them are duplicates. In red green colorblind only two are duplicates, but there are other types of colorblind. Theoretically they could be hexachromatic
Actually, after a while being in the offline mode, Steam will ask you to go online, as far as I know.
Note that the upgrade pain with Java was not due to typing; rather, it was due to using a library directly instead of creating a class to interface with it. In other words, inadequate abstraction.

Interesting. I wonder how that's influenced by the fact birds have specific reproductive seasons and 90% of bird species only take a single mate per season. A male bird doesn't really have the possibility of being hundreds of times as reproductively successful as another male bird.
This isn't really true though. There are plenty of open-source modules in Node which were released more than 5 years ago and are still in use today. People only move to new ones, when they are clearly better. What exactly is wrong with that?
And if my memory serves me right you can still download games that are in your library but not available in the store anymore.
Thank you, that makes sense. I am using a desktop hackintosh so not suffering from it but good to know.
The way that Instagram/Facebook quickly block third party clients like this really make it obvious that they control what you see and how you use the platform. You do not have control of the content you see on Instagram. It is force fed to you to manipulate you according to which advertisers have paid for your attention.

I really wish the people who invest their time and energy into developing third party UIs for Instagram would spend their time instead developing UIs and front ends for open source and federated software. Someone build "Instagram for Nextcloud", please.

Not to be a pedant but if you're eating regularly (AND minimum 4 times a day) then you're really not fasting at all.

You're just watching what you eat, two very different things.
I really don't see anyone but the power users being willing to pay. What's that TAM then? There are only around 250k verified users, you can probably use them as a proxy for power users, your pro customers. That doesn't seem very large.

Diet research and publications seem to always want exactly one option for everyone.

> Several studies, on the contrary, found an association between delayed eating (i.e., spending many hours during the day without eating) and increased risk of developing episodes of overeating and binge eating.

For people who try intermittent fasting and end up overeating, sure, they should try something else. And if many people who try intermittent fasting end up overeating, it should be included in discussions about intermittent fasting. But just because it doesn't work for everyone doesn't mean it doesn't work for anyone.

Really what people need are a list of options that work for some people with indicators on how you know it's working and maybe what sorts of things might indicate it will work for you before you try it.

The key thing is finding something that meets your needs and that you can stick to.
Projections can be tricky. Early memory I have in college:
I walked into my professor's office and she had a curious looking map on her wall. It had Australia at the center and the US was distorted and upside down.

Modern flat earthism goes back to the mid-1800s.
That's the key part:

> In conclusion, there is no robust evidence that intermittent fasting produces additional clinical benefits, compared to healthy and regular eating patterns. Instead, there is some evidence that delaying eating increases the risk of developing episodes of overeating and binge eating. For these reasons, it is inappropriate to recommend intermitting fasting as a healthy eating practice.

So "no robust evidence" vs. "some evidence". I wonder what the difference of these two indicated levels of evidence is and how it could be measured by any sort of KPI.

All in all, it reads more like a strong opinion than anything that is clearly backed up for any side.

Disclosure: I am on non-regular 8/16 IF diet. And I have to admit that I tend to binge-eat at times before my shift starts.
But to make the weak claim that we've detected no difference is fine, and should make people question their desperation to find one. I guarantee that this study is not claiming to have disproved the theory that women's brains were blessed by pink fairies and men's brains were blessed by blue fairies - but until we figure out a way to communicate with fairies, we should concentrate on the observable and material differences in the upbringing of men and women to explain their observable and material outcomes.

Reproducibility is one thing I like about AI research. If they provide the model, I can take on my own computer and test it against whatever I want and judge it.

Most things in science is almost impossible to reproduce because of cost or specialized equipment.
I'm sure the original research article treats it with more nuance, but that's not at all what the linked article is implying: "a gendered world creates a gendered brain, and not the brain itself".

Further, there are plenty of studies showing sex differences actually in the brain in mice. How impactful those differences are to behavior is not well known yet, and obviously it is difficult to say exactly how that translates to humans anyway. But there are still differences that are pretty well established, for example in glial cell development.

Staci Bilbo is one up and coming PI at Harvard working on glial cell research, and one of her focuses has been sex differences. Some of her work is actually on how hormones interact with these systems: https://www.icon.mgh.harvard.edu/collaborators/staci-bilbo

Neuroimmunology in general is pretty wild and I think we will find some gendered differences there. Certain maternal immune activation mouse models of Autism only show abnormal behavior in the males. More generally I think it's accepted that there are gender differences in the immune system: https://www.nature.com/articles/nri.2016.90

They bought Skybox, renamed it Terra Bella and then spun it off into a sale to Planet in about 3 years time.
The feature that looks interesting and could be useful depending on implementation is collections if they are easier to share and link to as well as organize. Tweets are hard to sort through and organize today, would be cool if they offer a way to do things like pin a collection of your top ranked tweets or favorited tweets, rather then the current mode of pinning only one tweet. I tried creating something to help with this but it's hard to get traction if it's not natively supported (had a few users), though that could also just be the very bare boned state of the site, gotta be embarrassed by your first version right :) http://tweetlights.com/

And how stable was their API over the last five years? It hardly counts if over 5 years the APIs change so much they're basically different libraries at the end.

Django's code churn for even complex projects is on the order of single digit hours per year at worst, the remaining 99.99% of time can go into delivering things customers care about.

I can't say I've seen that sort of stability in anything Javascript-related, apart from maybe jQuery projects. (Which of course have their own problems because jQuery is the wrong abstraction usually.)
The last published DPC audit found that it does [1]. There's really no reason to subject themselves to huge fines and lie about it, a very small fraction of facebook users delete anything.

> It's worth noting that the black illiteracy rate at the time he was growing up was around 10%

Nationally. Alabama’s general illiteracy rate around that time was close to double the national average (4.2% to the national 2.4% in 1960, for example [0]), so if the black:general ratio was similar to the national average (and I'd suspect it more likely was higher in the Deep South), you’d expect black illiteracy in Alabama to be near 20%.

> not only was Jim Crow still in living memory

“Living memory” suggests it was in the past, but there were people alive who had experienced it. Jim Crow was still a thing in Alabama for more than a decade after the time of his crime. And not just as some kind of neglected relic; not only were Jim Crow laws vigorously enforced, but new ones at both state and local levels were being adopted in Alabama into the 1960s.

Now Jim Crow is “in living memory”, then it was an ongoing crime against humanity.

>> you need to copy 500 of them

> It takes almost no time at all to do that,

Uh, 500 loads and dependent stores, at minimum, in the best case hitting L1 cache, which is 3 cycles. So you are talking about 1500 cycles to....avoid a single cache line miss due to chasing a linked list pointer? A miss to main memory is 100-200 cycles, maximum. More likely you are going to L2/L1 which is 12-50 cycles. So no, in no circumstances would I expect copying 500 elements to be faster than chasing a single pointer.

> Challenge that assumption.

You don't get to pick the application behavior. If it needs to a do a lot of inserts and traversals, it just does.

>> are close enough in memory (read: consecutive)

> Which doesn't really happen outside of a controlled benchmark.

There is no supporting information for this statement at all. Of course a list created all at once using a bump-pointer allocator is going to be consecutive. And a (moving) garbage collector is going to dynamically reorganize the nodes of a list, generally in a breadth-first way, depending on the marking algorithm. That can result in the nodes of the list being laid out consecutively after compacting, no matter where they were originally organized.

Memory behavior of programs is complicated. I find it surprising that we're having a conversation that we can't or shouldn't use linked lists now because vectors are universally better, or we can lazy sort or some other crazy workaround. I'm not sure what motivates this whole line of argumentation. Sometimes lists are just the best damn thing.
> but they lack proper marketing talent

I think the engineering vs. marketing dichotomy oversimplifies things. Many companies with a lot of engineering talent a poor at product development, partially because they don't really internalize it's not the same thing. Putting a world class engineering team on the wrong problem isn't going to end up somewhere great.
Which federated protocol can we (well, me) use rather than T? Micro.blog? Matrix? ActivityPub? I keep looking but I still don't have a good answer.

Interesting naming. Strongly typed languages (especially in the ML family) have best practices that include using types instead of strings as function parameters. Email type itself is enough to skip validation in each function accepting that particular type.

I think this is great first step using functional languages but you can go much much deeper than that.

I tried stadia, didn't convince me at all, it was rather a let down. The most jarring was the sound, it stuttered. The video was fluent enough, but seemed horribly compressed (washed out and artifacts) and low res (but I have a 4k monitor). Yet when I hear others talk about it its nearly the same as running a game local, or even better when, like me, you don't have the latest and greatest videocard. I suppose the bottleneck was my Internet connection, a "lowly" 30 Mbps, but then again, it's good enough for everything else, and the stadia test thingy said I should expect a high quality experience.
The latency is never going to be acceptable playing an FPS or similar over a video stream. It's fundamentally a stinker of an idea for anything but turn based strategy and similar games.

Microsoft recently confirmed that they have always lost money on their consoles (during the Apple vs Epic proceedings). In contrast, Nintendo usually makes a profit on selling their hardware.
What you said is totally reasonable, the problem is that the discussion in the current state is not pushed by the question of how should we treat individuals. We have way passed that.

The discussion in the current state is pushed by how can we explain the differences in outcomes and how to erase those differences. That's how the discussion is pushed to the point where some people claim there is no difference in inputs, all the differences are created in the process.
That's fine for training, but for testing the model delving into abnormal cases seems required. If there's noticeable difference on abnormal cases that gives a lot of insight into what your model is actually testing.
Thank you, Mark! Super long time.
I hope it sticks around. I have a Mac and a Nintendo Switch for the kids so I don't really have a good way to play games, unless I buy a console. I've been playing Red Dead Redemption 2 on Stadia and it's been great. No downloads is great. I honestly don't really care if they shut it down in a couple of years, personally once I beat a game I don't really go back to it. In the meantime they're giving me a super powerful gaming PC for basically nothing.
It's not like they need data, when they can recruit plenty of satisfied customers to go sing their praises on the Internet with powerful anecdotes.

That assumes there is no harm in what they are doing. A lot of these cryptos are more like pyramid schemes. Selling freezers is one thing, but if you know the freezer has some major defects and you continue selling them telling everyone how great they are while misleading them about issues then it is more like a scam. Don't get me wrong, some cryptos have the potential to make a lot of people money but often the people making the money are the initial investors not the public.
I got to pains to limit how many python external libraries I use, for all these reasons. But because Python is so capable on its own, it works.
The edited title is incorrect, in that it is a comparison with countries. How big is Africa compared to Asia? Okay, there’s one comparison with Europe (scroll down). Otherwise it’s a matter of how many countries one could cram in there. Of course, Africa already has a bunch of countries, so I guess I just didn’t get it. Comparing to, say, North America or something would be a better visualization for me.

Won’t somebody please think of the humanity of those who rob others at knife-point?

At some point, people need to realize that some human beings are just born bad. Psychopathy and Sociopathy are real things that have a genetic component.

And, while we can try to rehabilitate those who score low on measures of psychopathy and sociopathy, we need to recognize that some people really do just need to be locked away from society at large to preserve the lives of innocent people.
Right, and children hear much higher frequencies than the rest of us. Just because you see more doesn't fundamentally change how we perceive reality. Like if someone says there is a color between eggshell white and snow white, I believe them because there is obviously a gradient there. I don't need to see their reality to agree on the state of it.
I think it’s just not for everyone. I did it for a bit, and it never really worked for me. The most extreme one I did was “no food on monday” which was really hard and made me feel like shit. Then on tuesday I would overeat as my first meal and feel like I was going to die.

What seemed to work more was to delay meals and wait until I was actually hungry to eat. Also never finishing my plate (which is super hard as I was raised to finish a plate) works quite well. Also going to sleep hungry works well. That’s how I work.
IF isn't a diet, it's a lifestyle. Of course you're going to fail at it unless you commit to a complete lifestyle change.

One engineering problem they haven't solved is keeping an old service on life support. Nobody gets promoted for keeping their API stable indefinitely, so prohibitive maintenance costs are driving them to kill everything but huge hits.

Kudos for trying to “steelman” their argument rather than strawman it.

As devil’s advocate, we have no long term data about the vaccine, and people with it are still getting COVID, and may need another booster for variants. Is their prolonged and survived exposure to COVID really less effective than introducing the vaccine into their system? The risk profiles are different, but is the vaccine more effective than the antibodies they already have produced naturally? I don’t know answer, just curious rambling.
Oh my goodness, yes, safelinks: no doubt they provide some security benefits but from a UX perspective I detest them. The redirect to the real URL often takes far too long and sometimes Outlook, being the apparently single-threaded "let's make all network requests on the UI thread" pile of stinking fecal matter that it is, appears not to respond to your click, so you click again, and then maybe again, and then maybe yet again... and then all of a sudden you've got four browser tabs opening up to load the same URL and taking several seconds to redirect.

I hate, hate, hate, HATE, HATE safelinks.
