Hmm, I've been known to test a moisture content or two.

Around the clock for 40 years now.

Liquefication is so common it's no surprise any more.

Well, the vessels I work have cargoes like alcohol, acetone, paint thinner, etc ;)

These ships have 3 to 5 or more compartments separating the cargo from port to stbd and about a dozen from bow to stern. In addition to ballast tanks etc. So the constant liquid movement does not produce the instability that can occur in a solid-cargo ship having only a single compartment between the port & stbd.

Solid cargoes I normally do not do, except sometimes when an asphalt gets logged in.

I must say I usually find no fault, nope, no fault at all.

But, and it's a big but, when things don't go exactly as planned the scale can be somewhat overwhelming.

At the begining I did on-board measurement for a year before earning a premier port laboratory.

I almost never go to the docks any more unless it's really serious, the cargo surveyors just bring the official samples in. So I still know how it is.

Anyway, one time way back then I was loading a number of chemicals onto a multi-grade ship and the acrylonitrile had some stowage in a couple deck tanks in addition to some normal compartments. Deck tanks as the name implies look like (sometimes are) rail cars without wheels, welded to the deck in spots.

Now this monomer is an organic cyanide derivative which is a lot nastier than your everyday benzene or methanol. Just as flammable, more sickening. And we got to sample it when the movement is 95 percent complete. Normally you would be looking down into a hatch at your reflection in tonnes of product, but a deck tank you must climb.

I get up there and the tank is just starting to overflow, acrylo is everywhere, they had failed to slow down enough for the smaller tanks so it was pouring down the sides and running down the deck.

Instinct kicked in and I quickly filled my bottles by hand, got out of there and let them have their incident to themselves for a few hours before they called us back to calculate the losses.

Another time we had loaded 3,000 tonnes of (flammable) para-xylene so there was a lot of samples and I left mine on the deck when I went into the deckhouse. After doing all the paperwork we went out the other door and those were not my samples so we had to go back the other way. Just inside the doorway in the last office there was a small trashcan fire just getting started where someone had thrown a butt on their way out.

My partner stomped on it and his foot almost caught on fire, then we ran with the wastebasket into a laundry room and filled it with water.

Nobody noticed, we had to go and find the Chief Mate and inform him how we saved his ship. He gave us each a bottle of liquor.

And these both happened in Texas City, location of the deadly Texas City Disaster:

Some Bozo who has heard all this many times before is suspicious of claims from places like Deep Mind who have a financial incentive to make them (keep funding) where there aren't working machines to back that claim up.

Some Bozo has no credentials, no reputation, no track record of publications and barely supports the claim they're making with anything much. Some Bozo has no financial incentives or otherwise to opine either way. Some Bozo doesn't even work in the field at all.

Bets: Some Bozo or Deep Mind turn out to be closer to being correct in the passing of some finite amount of time? 5 years? 10 Years? 25 Years?
> I think there is a strong cognitive bias in the present culture of thinking of the brain like a computer or hard drive.

Good point.

The behaviour observed is puzzling if your model says that the mice brains first train on the smell, then once is it learnt the memory becomes "locked in", and then later encounters with the smell are just read-only "recall and recognition" operations. Just like how we might modify a computer's memory and then later use the memory contents in a read-only way.

But even as a layman on the subject, I can see that learning a smell and later trying to identify the same smell isn't two separate kinds of tasks. If I smell a rose for the 1000th time, I'm still learning about its smell. Why would a brain not change?
Maybe ask them. Something like "Can you think of any ways I could have made it easier for you to find this documentation independently?"

You need to be very very clear about the type of mask you are wearing.

I wear an N95 or KF94 - I like the ones with the valve / vents so do a surgical over that if I use one of those.

I've got friends in covid care who had pretty high exposure with a good N95 and face shield without being infected.

So when people say they were masked up and got infected, you need to ask, was this just some fleece cloth or a mask designed for infection control.

Infinite scroll is a dark pattern in the way it gives you something your addicted brain wants, and therefore you think you might want, but it's actually just a way for them to get more money.

Personal anecdote: I hardly read more than the front page on HN, even though I consider HN one of the least 'time wasted' sites I use, because I usually learn a lot because of it. On Reddit I just keep scrolling even though I often consider it wasted time in hindsight. I don't want HN to get infinite scroll and I deleted the Reddit app from my phone.
Wow, I had no idea that Yann LeCun was also this based. I've figured that it was relatively rare to hear people advocate for the superiority of unsupervised methods - but I guess it isn't if a titan like him does. It's good to hear because epistemologically I just do not believe that most learning is anything but unsupervised. There are very few good labels for our data relative to how much data we process in an information theory sense.

Do you mean, that's why the U.S. built infrastructure around interstate highways and not rail? Why did European countries and other places conclude differently?

Nope. The interstate highway system followed the railroad system. It also followed world war 2. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Interstate_Highway_System

Rail infra investment stopped after ww2 and never restarted. All of these railroad engine power train tech improvements may have happened, but the rails on ground infrastructure peaked in the 1950's .

Interstate highways also made most of the US accessable to heavy aircraft in case an emergency airport needed to be assembled on short notice. It's a network of runways. Interestingly, the German Autobahn has a lot more curves, but it's debatable if that is to make them harder to bomb or to keep drivers awake.

Also many US cities had full fledged local rail systems that were paved over to make way for roads and cars.
I don't know who Patricia Churchland is, but they said that the paper was "very carefully and insightfully worked out."

After having read the paper, I am very disappointed in the output. Nothing concrete was shown, just hypothesis and reads more like philosophy. That being said, I would say that the paper is carefully worked out and does provide insight if you haven't thought about RL before.
Well, kind of, finding things you can’t explain (but still feel you should be able to) can be difficult, so I’d say that “skimmng papers all day and walking away feeling you haven’t changed the contents of your brain much” is the bad day. But yes, actively reducing humanity’s or even your own personal ignorance is a much better day, of course.

This is good article though it actually didn’t made any sense in terms of job. There are companies that value good documentation, you will have to write docs to keep your job. And there are companies that don’t care about documentation. By writing documentation, you are wasting your company’s time and money on something that is not important to them. This will not get you promoted but it may get you fired.

You want documentation as a priority, then champion it to your leadership. Show them data that documentation saves cost in long run. But writing docs by yourself is not a good strategy for long term success of your career.

This brings me to my second point, I agree with author if you replace quitting job with dying.

What if a doctor tells you that you have two weeks to live. Will you go do all the things that you always dreamt about or would you be talking with lawyers to get your will and estate in order. Do you have enough life insurance? Are you saving for your family and kids?

If you have taken care of your affairs, now if doctor tells you that you got two weeks left, are you going to rush to work and finish your project or just quit? Are you going to spend next 2 weeks with your kids or go on a long hike? Or something else? Do you do any of that right now?

Yes I want to live my life as if I am always be dying.
Unsupervised learning is exactly the wrong way to approach chess or other games that MuZero solves. It's also worth noting that traditional alpha-beta pruning + heuristics are basically neck and neck with the very best of neural network based techniques. I'll trust stockfish over a alpha-zero or MuZero for awhile longer if I'm trying to win a computer chess competition ...

It is especially weird that people in this day and age would even think of the brain as a single computer instead of as a network of computers. I have no idea how well that analogy holds, but it does seem like a natural base assumption to have.

Apple really is in a unique position. However their are a few areas in which they drastically lack and TBH it is not App privacy disclosure - everyone knows Facebook is physically, mentally, and spiritually bad /s

I was quite anti-Apple for a long time on the basis of it being a luxury brand that restricts the freedom of its users.

But it recent years as phone performance has become less of an issue meaning Apple's older phone models are basically just as good as mid-tier current year Android, the luxury label is not as extreme.

Additionally the M1 launch which basically transformed their 'real' computer laptop from being overpriced and literally hot garbage - to the best* dollar for dollar mobile machines.

So basically Apple has the hardware and software polished and at a great value but they have a very integrated ecosystem which means a single flaw breaks the whole cohesion.

Primarily, E2E encryption is broken by design because iCloud backup are not E2E and you can't know if any message recipient has iCloud enabled. Sure you could just use Signal/Matrix/etc but it breaks the cohesion - does your Apple watch get Matrix notification with the same polish as iMessage?

Also iMessage is also still iOS only right? Which is just insane. For a time Blackberry messenger was the best thing but it didn't last partly because it was vendor locked.

Whild I can ignore limits of phone OS's for the sake of security; MacOS is sort of anti-user to the point that third party projects like Homebrew work day & night to fix the ecosystem. Luckily now Nix(OS) on Darwin is an option for a more complete ecosystem but it is still other people fixing Apple's mistakes for free which is just unbearable.

Considering Microsoft runs Github which I believe Hombebrew and NisOS still both use extensively and I believe they do so for free or very cheaply(?) In any case, Apple seems like a poor steward of open source compared to other FAANGM(?) companies... maybe I am wrong but the G, M, & F seem more active than the Apple. Apple did just kill/abandon CUPs etc.

Again, I would just like to be wrong. Maybe you can already use Linux with Apple devices very well and maybe turning off iMessage and iCloud solves the E2E problem. But it just seems like Apple is 90% of the way there but refuses to do the last 10%.

I guess what I mean to say is Apple has some real problems to fix of its own before it should critize other apps even more. For instance, does iMessage come with a warning about broken/nerfed E2E? Or that mobile Safari has an anti-user and anti-standards implementation of PWAs (again last I check)?
You are lucky that you can even abuse it that much. My home country seems a bit stricter. My grandparents split their farm between my uncle, aunt and mother, with the later two only inheriting a house. When my mother tried to pass it on to my brother someone noted that it handn't been part of a farm or used to house farmworkers for years and should be torn down. The plot it stood on had to be converted to residential to deal with that surprise.

> my reading of a lot is always more than 50%

That's what the word "most" is for. A lot only means something like "large amount", with no hint at how large. It could be more than half, it could also be 1% because that's still a lot of people.
I appreciate it’s a very different time, so not saying they’re comparable 1 to 1, but back in the waning days of Digg you saw Reddit suddenly growing and growing as this new and actually interesting competitor.

Is there an equivalent today?

I enjoyed using Reddit for years, then used it without (tbh) enjoying it much for probably a couple of years, and finally have almost fully disconnected. There’s no denying it has many more years worth of genuinely useful information on it, so I’ll still use it as a resource for community recommendations when searching.

However, the actual _news_/curated feed mechanic I’ve long sworn off. Is there anything new coming up atm that isn’t just a Reddit knock off?

Edit: side note, thinking about how long ago the Digg —> Reddit shift was has actually filled me with a bit of existential dread. When you stop and think, Reddit has had an incredible run as a popular platform so far.
A very awesome blog post. We are really grateful for your blog post. You will find a lot of approaches after visiting your post. I was exactly searching for. Thanks for such post and please keep it up.

Apple made 72.3B revenue from app sales in 2020. This is not an insignificant amount of money, regardless of where it stands next to their hardware sales.

>a ten gigaohm resistor

Depending on the voltage across a resistor like that, you may calculate less than one electron passing through the resisitor per second.

Without ceramic or teflon standoffs, the circuit board can often conduct better than the resistor, plus dust can also accumulate on the outside of the resistor and conduct better eventually, which is why they are often encased in glass, so they can be effectively cleaned during a maintenance cycle.
Indeed, this criticism is as old as Ned Block's Troubles with Functionalism from 1978.
Sure, Stockfish just uses millions of years of evolution to build its heuristics and can't be transferred to any other game. The point remains, calling RL a cherry on the cake compared to unsupervised learning when they are completely orthogonal and not mutually exclusive techniques is simplistic and unnecessarily offensive.
> Dark patterns are explicitly designed to conflate or deceive.

Well, yes - normally you are scrolling to the bottom of the page. And when you reach the bottom, you stop, or you need to explicitly click "Next". But with infinite scroll, there is no bottom. You never reach a final or semi-final point. It's designed to maximize your time spent on the website/app, not for your well-being or helping you achieve your original aim - which was to absorb a limited set of information, not scrolling mindlessly forever.
I think what they are saying is to remove the addiction, not ask if someone want to be reminded to wake up from the addiction.

The question for me comes down to, is there such a thing as social media without the addiction, where the financial incentives to the company aren’t tied to and engagement and behaviour. I’d like to think that’s possible.

This question is not M1 specific because as others have noted: docker.

I’ve run a fairly sophisticated CI setup for a testing and dev / staging deployment of a django-based web app.

For that project I set up a collection of machines with specific gpu hardware to be available to for deployments based on who committed the code.

If your system is internet connected, you may want to look at GitHub Actions self-hosted runners. This is what I used and it integrates very well into normal dev workflows.

For these, you install docker and github’s client. Then you can set up deployments to your local docker-based environment whenever you commit to a given branch.

This can work well behind a firewall, as the runners are listening for signals from GitHub.
This is a fun project so whatever code goes, but this could easily be broken into many small chunks. There’s even a context my button to pull subsections out into smaller strict automatically.
Wasn't this entrapment?

"...The person was facing charges and cooperated with the FBI in exchange for a reduced sentence. The individual offered to develop ANOM and then distribute it to criminals through their existing networks"

Entrapment "is the conception and planning of an offense by an officer or agent, and the procurement of its commission by one who would not have perpetrated it except for the trickery, persuasion or fraud of the officer or state agent."

There is some migration tooling (HANA), but it won't be able to solve all issues (no framework can), as it strongly depends on how your migration looks like.
However, it's purely declarative (for the generic CRUD operations), which helps you "experimenting" with different approaches more easily. It supports projections and allows CRUD operations on them (if the projections are not too complicated). For some migrations this is sufficient, but of course not if your additional business logic depends on it.
The real power is more regarding the server/UI layer as you will be able to change the server code without needing to change the UI (except if you have custom UI code), as the UI is dynamically constructed based on the model metadata coming from the server. In your migration, this is not a big problem as you can pin newer versions of your UI to newer versions of your server, but here you just don't have to, which is neat.
