Not a big fan of human factors in engineering, huh?

Documenting poor design rather than improving it is lazy, bad engineering. Requiring rote learning of an very complex interface that poorly represents a moderately complex data structure is lazy, bad engineering. Macho, hyperbolic, gatekeeping arguments for non-design as a design philosophy is advocating for bad engineering. Being mad that people want products with interfaces that make sense is being mad that people want an important facet of good engineering.
Nuclear-Powered “Superyacht”
I honestly think having several thousand nuclear warheads still pointed at various targets is what's really stopping WWIII. Aircraft carriers are sitting ducks in any major conflict and they know it. They're fine if your adversary is working a level or two above the stone age, which is the type of wars we've been fighting.
So before we get comments about MtF having an advantage of male muscle or something, let's not forget that intersex and other hormonal conditions are permitted to compete in the Olympics as female too.
The fact that carriers can navigate the Suez canal does not mean they can do anything else while they're doing it. A carrier in the Suez canal will be moving very slowly and all other operations besides navigating the ship and keeping its power and engines running will be shut down.

Carriers operate in deep water. The only times they are in shallow water are coming into or leaving port, or transiting a canal like the Suez in order to get somewhere.
I’m not seeing estimates of Amazon at 5x larger business (revenue). Estimates have Amazon at ~2x revenue ($850ish B) in five years and earnings growth slower than current levels. Folks think they’ll grow, just not quite as fast.

We’ll see. I think it’s going to be hard to maintain today’s growth rate at this size.
The mistake would be to assume that the outcomes of this study will be used to heal political discourse. Knowing social media companies, the takeaway here will be to focus on facilitating political trolling, since it will make their platforms more popular.

> but as the law stands right now, what Apple is doing is legal.

Thats an interesting prediction. So you are claiming that the judge in the Apple vs Epic case will not rule against Apple, in any way, on any of its behavior.

That is a strong claim for you to be making. And since you have made this prediction, I will be sure to come back to your comments in a couple months.

Because I am pretty sure that the judge will rule against Apple on at least some issues. Probably not the whole thing. But there will be some things that Apple is doing, which will be ruled illegal.

The real question is, if this happens, will you back off on your extordinarily strong claim, that absolutely nothing that Apple was doing, will be deemed illegal by the judge? Will you admit that maybe you didn't think this all through?
haha, holy shit, he is referring to himself as "freenode digital autonomous zone"
Paraphrasing, "Git is the worst distributed version control system... except all the others".

With an exception made of Mercury - that according to people (I never used it) was in points better than Git -, git swept the floor with the competition, with a "little" help from Github.

The reality is that today you can't really separate git from Github.

Regarding your link, and to answer your question, my position is that Git is like the PHP of version control.

The barrier to entry is so, so low, that not enough people care about learning it right / properly /enough (Myself included)

(The difference being that I can goople myself out of a problem pretty much every time). Also, I do make a pretty basic use of git, and it's been years since I screwed up. Worst case scenario I need to fix a merge conflict with code from one of my colleagues (That I hate to fix, because it doesn't happen often enough as for myself to remember how to interpret the diffs)

Anecdotally, I was the person responsible for the adoption of Git in my company, some 13 years ago. We were really struggling back then to get SVN working for distributed version control.

We never looked back.
I stopped reading after this:

> Social media posts are twice as likely to go viral if they are negative about politicians they oppose rather than positive about those they support, a Cambridge University study suggests.

Which rectified my original problem with comparing "trolling" to "positivity".

There's too many office people who have no interest / refuse to learn any new skills. Many can't cook to save their lives. I doubt 0.1% of them can solder, 0.03% could troubleshoot something electrical, and I'm doubtful of their ability to handle and finish drywall.

It's very sad when people think everything else is beyond their reach or they don't even look to see what could be there.
And the same in Oz for littering and mandatory bicycle helmets. People initially disregarded the laws but then the behavior became socially normalized. Nowdays if someone is seen littering they will often be scolded by a random citizen.
There are a number of the vulnerabilities that affect other platforms than Intel x86 (including some POWER and ARM), though you're correct, a good amount of those disclosed are specific to Intel. But there has also been at least one that was AMD specific, too.[1]

I hypothesize it could have come down to "well, we made this type of decision this way before, and the world didn't fall down, so we can probably make it that way again, right?" Since these aren't formally proven systems, to some extent deciding whether an optimization is safe is going to be a judgment call - and if you go for "well, if this assumption is false, we're already doomed because we did X elsewhere...", the results could look like this.

Or maybe not, I've never worked for a chip design house.

American Airlines CEO compensation was $10M+ in 2020 [1]. Not to mention the C-suite, SVP's and VP's, and board pay. Seems like that should drop to $0 before you start crying for free labor.

I'm familiar with a company who's CEO, after the housing crash in 2008, gave himself a 5% raise while telling everyone else we didn't have enough for annual cost of living increases and was called out. That CEO took his own life a few years later. Doesn't seem worth it, does it?

When the number of houses is fixed, the price of a house is infinite, so of course you can't save for it. The solution is to build more houses, not give everyone a raise.

Most words are "flexible" and you have to take them in context to choose which of multiple possible meanings is most appropriate. In the case of explosive weapons, "on" usually means that the object of the preposition is the point of impact, as in "dropping bombs on target X".
> My Tiger repelling rock^^^^^^leopard detection model works great on all animal pictures ... until you feed it a sofa

I'm sorry, how is this different than normal software engineering? There's dozens of unit/integration testing memes poking fun at specifically this (which is a mostly solvable problem in ML btw, when you use out of distribution data. Give your model a 3rd end state that represents "neither").

> id did none of that, what this model did is learn all the frames of video and their chronological order according to the input.

A better explanation is that the network knows what frame to generate given the current frame (and n previous frames) and the current user input. If it was memorizing then it'd have to generate an extremely large number of scenarios (it would exponentially grow as any given frame has k possible actions from your current frame to the next frame). If Sendex can run the game for arbitrary length and take arbitrary actions then it is a far more reasonable explanation that the model is generating the frames rather than memorizing. Apply Occam's Razor.

Edit: Sentdex said the model was ~173MB, so that is not large enough to memorize the gameplay.

The fatal flaw in this study is that it examined people with low carb diets, not people who adopted low carb diets. At worst it's misleading and at best it fails to address what effect the adoption of a low-carb meat based diet has on an obese person accustomed to a high carb diet. If you bacon your way to losing 150 pounds you're probably going to have a higher mortality than the average person, but probably less than the average 300 pound person.

To be honest, the answer is, "we don't know". And I mean it: this is a nuclear powered carrier, and if it's not clear, there's no permanent place where we store such waste. The Navy has a pretty dirty history of simply throwing such waste overboard before, "the knew any better".

Because git is actually very very good at what it does for the most common cases of source control. Aside from scaling edge cases it works phenomenally well and gets almost everything right. The big flaw is just the inscrutability and learning curve of the porcelain commands, however any attempt to fix that has to either nerf git's power, or else transform the complexity to another equally complex if less arbitrary set of commands and switches. I don't think such a system can ever gain traction because it only helps beginners, for the majority of seasoned developers it just amounts to new syntax to the same stuff.
This is relevant
Something I'd like to see is a visualization of subsets of the network's internal state that correlate with simple quantities like compass direction, velocity, position, etc. It'd be really fascinating to see where in the model these things are being learned, whether they are concentrated in a small area or spread out, and whether this is somewhat consistent across different iterations of the model.
Assuming we can just confiscate every last penny of every billionaire's wealth instantly we would have at best 5 trillion. That is less than the 6.5 trillion the federal government spent in 2021. Not even enough for 1 year of operations.

So fine, take all the privately held wealth. That amounts to 94 trillion. Round it to 100. So we can run the federal government for ~20 years? Or we can give everyone 300k ?

Affordability is certainly a problem. However a magic money moving wand doesn't seem to do anything to fix it. The problems are deeper than that. The author's call to get more involved in constructing sustainable solutions and focusing government investments on community building versus war mongering I can get behind every day of the week.

Agree with your sentiment, but I've always seen PUT as idempotent, not POST.

Typical rest usage has POST creating new objects, and return the object with a new id. That's not idempotent. Doing it repeatedly makes new objects with new unique IDs. PUT is updating a given object, with the id in the URL. If you do it repeatedly, it's the same as a one time call.

POST /user
--> returns user with id

PUT /user/12345
--> stores the data in the body for user with id 12345

PATCH /user/12345
--> merges the body with the existing object that has id 12345. (used to update specific field or fields)

You don't really need to teach so many things. The only skill one needs to master them all is critical thinking.

To teach critical thinking to the students, you need teachers who are critical thinkers.

It does not matter if you are in USA or Zimbabwe, one thing is common everywhere. Smart people who can think critically are not encouraged or incentivized enough to take up teaching as a profession. As a result we end up with this mess of education systems everywhere. It will probably take some generational changes or visionary political leadership to change this.

I am working on spreading awareness about a robust Technology Vendor Management program. This is an area that lacked focus and is very important for company of any size.

Whether you are a startup or a large organization trying to sell something that involves technology, or whether you are on the purchase side of the table, both parties need to understand the nuances. Why are few things important to a client such as your SOC 2 report, ISO27001 report, why is the client asking for regular governance cadence to discuss SLAs, what is the risk, why are vendor’s security controls important Etc.

I am getting amazing response from people in Technology, Procurement, Third Party Risk Management and Cyber Security for a common place to consume information.

I hope the momentum continues.
I think the solution is a legal one. I think laws around users being able to delete their content, around tracking, and protecting people's jobs from social media pile-ons would go a long way in detoxifying the internet.

An alternative to sprouting beans is to soak them until they start to ferment. Adding a tablespoon of sour dough starter, or some "back slop" from the previous ferment will kick start the process. The fermentation process breaks down the indigestible fibers that cause gas, plus give an extra umami boost.

One note, lactic fermentation produces lactic acid which will drop the pH of the beans which can cause them cook a bit stiff. After rinsing the beans you can soak them in baking soda water, or put a small amount (teaspoon?) or so of baking soda or calcium carbonate into the cook water to raise the pH and make the beans softer.

Another alternative is to use koji rice for an even greater umami boost.

So... imagine there's some fictional ETF that rises at exactly the rate of inflation. At the end of a year, your $100k investment is $102k. Still buys the same number of Big Macs, potatoes, whatever.

You then have to pay tax on the $2k gain. You've lost purchasing power. Let's say your balance is now $101,800.

If you looked at this as monetary policy (rather than tax policy), wouldn't this essentially be a negative interest rate? Over time, wouldn't inflation rise exponentially?

Now, suppose the ETF tries to pace inflation + tax. Where does this extra money come from? Debt? Thus more inflation.

I find it interesting that the poster from Denmark considers it no big deal; Denmark has had negative interest rates for several years. That may make sense in a small, aging country that needs to stave off deflation, but the US currently has the opposite problem - inflation. Wouldn't a tax on inflationary "gains" send it into hyperdrive?

This is actually true, LLVM had no performance regression infrastructure until recently, even though it was marketed as the fastest compiler.

>such as leaking national secrets or knowingly publishing false information, that would then be seen as national security infractions.

Not really. News agencies publish leaked classified national secrets all the time and freely publish false information without penalty.

News cannot steal the information, i.e. hacking into the Pentagon would be off limits (which is why Julian Assange is wanted), but if someone else steals it, they can publish it. Publishing stuff in Wikileaks documents is not illegal.

Foreign journalists freely operate in the USA. RT certainly has an anti-American agenda. It gets to criticize and claim and publish false information and yes, even report leaked national secrets.
It doesn't really matter though.

If you misuse POST nobody and nothing is going to care. Literally every traditional web application, including this very site, "misuses" POST all the time.
