The problem the article is basically describing is that many neural networks do not utilise all the information available, or are over trained, or are not in a sense compact enough. There is redundant information.

For example recognising pictures of cats, the fact you can rotate a cat picture and its still a cat isn't necessarily baked in. If you visualise layers there seems to be a lot of redundant information, (if you train on rotated cats you get layers that look like rotations of each other). If there is a mechanism to store this kind of information more compactly, I am not aware of it.

Perhaps there is the idea that some kind of structure that encodes the redundant information, should be emergent or natural, it should evolve out of the models without having to make arbitrary choices. On the other hand maybe we should turn to physics and add these physical kind of constraints, there is a way to renormalise or make use of symmetries to improve our current models. Perhaps a neural network is more like an algebraic variety (collection of polynomials) with a group action.

Pipe dream.

America has changed so much and labor is so mobile now that unionization will not make a dent.

It would make sense when you were working at the same company, in the same town for 20 years.

But all that has changed. We now change jobs every few years. Or even take time off, or work remotely. We change cities all the time. Mobility and choice is where it's at now.

Unions make sense for careers like police and old-style factories.

Besides, everyone knows that all the unions -- except the police unions no longer have any teeth.

I'm sort of tired of people living in some kind of alternate reality to think that an initiative like this could really work.

(I'm by no means anti-union. I'm just a realist.)

Some people, not so much you, but people in general who are uncomfortable with the larger sexual identity issues prefer to focus on the woman's sport's angle because its comfortingly simple and avoids the things that make people uncomfortable.

Maya didn't have her contract renewed because she said things like the senior director of Credit Suisse was "a man who likes to express himself part of the week by wearing a dress"

Not for advocating for fairness in woman's sports.

To be clear as far as athletics. Trans people make up 0.5% of the population. The female->male portion is most apt to experience on average a measurable disadvantage while the male->female portion if they start hormones when it is medically advisable to do so wont experience the same clear average advantage as a male athlete who simply declared himself a female one day and switched teams.

From the British Journal of Sports Medicine

> “For the Olympic level, the elite level, I'd say probably two years is more realistic than one year,” said the study's lead author, Dr. Timothy Roberts, a pediatrician and the director of the adolescent medicine training program at Children's Mercy Hospital in Kansas City, Missouri. “At one year, the trans women on average still have an advantage over the cis women," he said, referring to cisgender, or nontransgender, women.

> For the first two years after starting hormones, the trans women in their review were able to do 10 percent more pushups and 6 percent more situps than their cisgender female counterparts. After two years, Roberts told NBC News, “they were fairly equivalent to the cisgender women.”

It's a tempest in a teapot. All things being equal you are likely to end up with a small percentage of woman's athletics being trans women and nothing else changes. This is especially true of school athletics which are after all supposed to be for the betterment of the student body as opposed to for objective success.

I suppose this is why I never listened to doctors recommending avoiding peanuts until age 3 or later. It seemed not to make sense. Turns out following that advice created a generation of peanut allergy sufferers!

Many opinions by supposed experts turn out later to be completely wrong. Trusting your own experience is usually wise.
Jomez is an astonishingly well-done production for what I used to think was a niche sport. It was wholly responsible for getting me into watching it regularly. It's really easy to avoid spoilers about Disc Golf and so watching it non-live is nicer than more popular sports. So as a bonus you get to see a well-edited format (where the commentary is still unscripted as they watch the edited footage).
I haven't implemented a client-side setting on my sites yet, but it's in the plans. I can tell you why I plan to do it, and also why I test with no-JS support and in text-mode browsers, implement status indicators and back-to-top buttons, and why I consider Netscape 2.0 a first-class citizen on my domains.

Sure, the user-agent "should" provide all of that stuff, but the reality is that most don't have all the features I would want as a visitor to my site, so I have to bend over backwards to accommodate their specific abilities.

The user-experience is a combination of three abilities: the ability of the user, the ability of the user-agent, and the ability of the Web site. Combined together they form the ACCESS-ABILITY landscape.
I think the simple reason is that developer ergonomics are the last priority. Zero cost abstractions and expressive features win the day even if you need to hold 19 obscure things in your head to use it right. (I like C++ btw, but it's not a friendly language).

Thanks for replying.

I'd contest that this is true in general but depend a lot on location - most of the points there don't apply everywhere (albeit I can just assume the vast majority of residential houses in the US).

One more thing that's not mentioned explicitly in that paper that can be good to keep in mind is also that cats can be territorial with the core territory generally having a diameter of 100m - so any neighboring cats close enough can often become an issue.

In general I do think that cats are thriving best when they can roam the outdoors, but it's a very small and shrinking amount of global human-habitated land where that is a good idea. Thinking of this makes me a bit sad for the species.

Growing up we had cats who could come in and out as they wanted. Very rural area in Europe with little traffic or predators. One got hit by a car, one got taken by a fox (both within their first 5 years), one disappeared at 10 (also fox?), one lived to 17 until she died of old age, and one is still around at ~12 (estimated; local stray cat that came included with my parents' new house).

That being said, I am sure you have considered everything and is doing what's best for the cat within your abilities. But maybe see if you can get him some exercise ;)

I'm in eCommerce, run ads (on eBay, not Google) and would have to agree 100%.

The only products we put paid promotion on are common and overpriced, and the demographic of the customers is very different to what we'd find through our products sold through organic search.

Based solely on anecdata through the messages we receive and the addresses we ship to, the people who click on ads are somewhat more likely to be lower-socio, much more likely to have low literacy skills, and a couple of orders of magnitude more likely (not an exaggeration) to live in a remote Aboriginal community.

It feels somewhat dirty/exploitative, but it's what the customer wants. They have the choice of saving $50+ by scrolling past the first 3-4 results, but they choose not to. I just don't understand.

I honestly don't think that last example is ridiculous. I would be disappointed that I didn't get my $10k for whatever reason but I wouldn't think myself punished or be angry at someone who got their $10k. It's basically how I feel about student loan forgiveness. I paid back my loans but I still want that debt to be forgiven for everyone else. I have no expectation that because I paid my loans I deserve some cash reward because of it.

The reason to forgive any kind of debt is because the economic benefit of doing so it better than the alternative. Not because it's a reward for people who deserve it.

> You can make money doing anything if you're good enough

The thesis of the article seems to be that this isn’t enough. It’s the marketing and social media aspect that makes the money possible.

McBeth might not be the disc golf GOAT, but he’s close and he’s in the right place at the right time and is learning to market himself. His lifetime on the course earnings (again, from the article) are less than 5% of one year of his current endorsement deals.
I'm always baffled by this claim that simple explanations favor instant runoff.

Here's approval voting: "Upvote the candidates you like. The candidate with the most total votes wins." It's not just mathematically simpler, it's simpler in informal terms, a smaller change from current plurality voting, and it seems less messy in the strategic dynamics insofar as we've tested these different systems for real.
I’m surprised no ones mentioned this but the government also provided emergency relief funding (payroll protection) to business owners.

While not explicitly designed for landlords they technically qualified - even if the only person on payroll is themselves. I know multiple people, albeit in different lines or business, that had 5 to 6 figures of payroll loans forgiven.

The real loser here is the future of the US dollar.

Hopefully it goes without saying that you shouldn't be able copyright other people's photos of their own face without their consent. Any lawyers on here to disagree?
If only these companies put half as much effort into their actual product rather than lawyering up against each other and every suable entity in the universe.

I don't think copyright laws should be abolished, but this shit is getting ridiculous. Sending false copyright claims should be treated as a crime in it of itself. When falsely accused of a copyright claim, the recipient has to go through a process to try and get that pulled, costing time, effort and potentially money. And yet these corporations get no punishment for spamming legal threats to whatever their bots deem appropriate.
> I think religion is a poor analogy, because except in a few extreme cases like Iran, religion doesn't seek to create a totalitarian framework for every personal thought or action.

The context here is a bit more interesting. The case seems closer to: Disney will send you copyright strike for a photo you yourself called Loki, after a number of successful takedowns on your cosplay photos for the Loki character.

I'm against the idea of DMCA for cosplay in general... But if he knew how the rules apply before, this seems like testing the boundaries / "I'm not touching you" game. He can contest the request through the standard procedure. It would get interesting if that gets rejected.
Very well said.

Consider how people like to say they have OCD because they think it’s just “liking to be clean”. Most people like things to be clean, right? So anyone could be diagnosed with OCD on a bad day, couldn’t they? No, because OCD is caused by underlying physical problems with the brain that cause very specific symptoms that interfere greatly with your life. When you see a person who is actually diagnosed with OCD, it becomes really clear that none of these other jokers have it.

The problem with ADHD is that instead of hand washing or checking doors or other very unusual rituals, it mostly just looks like laziness to a casual observer.
Sports are important. Being competitive is important. Having hobbies is important. Taking time to do something other than "real life" responsibilities is important.

Much of this relies on the inspiration people get from watching these sports, and exposure the sport gets from the professional leagues.

All of this in ingrained in American culture. Whether it's capitalism, or high level sports, or pick up ball. It's all the same ball game.

Calling out a single one of these is incredibly disingenuous. Would society worsen if we never had competitive rowing again? No. Would it worsen if we got rid of the 24 sports that the NCAA oversees? Absolutely.

Like, I'm as much of a Disney hater as anyone, but you really should understand just how much money, time, and effort go into Disney productions. The amounts would blow your mind.

They spend a comparatively miniscule amount of money defending their intellectual property. This is what people should be up in arms about. It really shouldn't be this easy for them.
True, though something odd is that there aren't multiple videos. Multiple ones available are all from the same building, maybe even same room
Because they have lots of money and spread it around generously.
I mean, ADHD awareness has gone up a ton in the past year. I definitely agree that "isn't a video game completionist" is hardly a reason, on it's own, to question if one has ADHD, but it could very well be one part of a puzzle if someone has other patterns that line up.

Personally, I fail to see how STAR and approval are superior.

If I were to lobby for some electoral change, I would lobby for approval votes, because they are easy to lobby for (just change "you gt ONE vote" into "vote for as many people you like"). But compared to ranked choice, it creates a situation where you can't differentiate candidates between who you clearly have a preference, and this has large odds of changing the outcome.
If you don't represent the views of the voters you won't win.

Another way to say it is "if you're not of the society, you will be outcast and blockaded from any chance of winning."

If I'm DIYing I’d rather use Wordpress with membership plugins for a fixed yearly cost for hosting, say $30-$60 and 0% fees and full control.

This is because relying on no code platforms can be shifting sands. Prices can go up and it may already be more expensive. Platforms can end life early too which is another risk.

I’ve already said convenience doesn’t matter (otherwise I’d stay on substack).

Wordpress is the ultimate nocode Swiss Army knife.

[ Edit: Also, you know how we name-and-shame Patent Trolls? This is the behavior of a Copyright Troll and we should call this behavior as such. And ultimately we need legislation against Patent Trolls and Copyright Trolls. ]
I think you have picked particularly bad examples for this. Both the model and the target function have real, practical considerations that make them probably impossible. If, however, you did make such a model and such a function then the running that model in every possible configuration space would be a problem of such massive scale that you couldn't ever hope to find the best configuration.

I think if you have some sort of point you are trying to make, you should confine yourself to something more practical and easier to have a definite answer. If you so I think you will find that, eventually, the invalidated belief will be dropped except by a small minority and the consensus will shift to encompass that viewpoint.
Yeah to me it looked like there were several different videos, and even though I have no idea what's being said the tone of the background voices seemed to sound like other people nearby noticed it
You're kinda just...debating with yourself. Your TLDR isn't anything even remotely close to anything I ever said or suggested. Equating everyone in the NCAA to every professional software engineer is super silly; it'd be a better comparison to say the entire NCAA and everyone that took a coding class sometime in their education.

If you scroll up you'll find this discussion is about luck vs. hard work. I'll be stepping out of this specific comment thread now though. Enjoy your night.
Hasn't internal mobility within the US actually declined? And, forgive my ignorance, why would people changing jobs or locations prevent a unionization drive bring successful? Furthermore, what do you propose people do in the context in which jobs are continually made less stable and well paying, while corporate profits are strong, and additionally in which labor appears to be in high demand? Feels like this is exactly the right time to try again to make this happen?
