IF is great. I've been doing the 8 hour window (basically skip breakfast) for years. When I started I was also an eat as soon as I get up person. It took about a week to get past that feeling (headaches, agitation, etc...). Now, I don't ever really get hungry. I get up, work out, train BJJ, work, etc... all before lunch and have plenty of energy and clarity.

I leaned up which was fine, but I've had to add some grazing in to stay at my goal weight.
The DoD produces documents that are either

a) incredibly clear and straightforward, or

b) completely impenetrable (esp. anything with a diagram)

There is no middle ground. Seriously though, the Army's writing manual is top-notch and most high schools would be better for spending a month or three teaching from it.

Yes.

Also, regular ML researchers sit at tables with laptops. Robotics people need electronics labs and electronics technicians, machine shops and machinists, test tracks and test track staff...

If you have to build stuff, and you're not in a place that builds stuff on a regular basis, it takes way too long to get stuff built.

I wonder if renting a 'safe house' near where you want to steal/rob etc is a factor. Any group would want to drop their bags, change their coats etc, before they went on a new job? With text coordinating efforts, all manner of heists could be arranged. There were groups who stole vans for smash and grab raids - vans are large and trackable, A number of quiet BNB rentals for a day could be used by a gand of 5-20 people as a stash/change house to grab a load of high end goods. I am sure they were trained to avoid being followed etc?
I certainly hope that was the case for her.

The Congress is my absolute nightmare movie, despite the beauty of it. I find it depresses me because we all live some part of our lives as an illusion, and it’s tempting to go even further; In fact, are we so far into an illusion that we don’t notice our life is destructed?
> That's definitely conspiracy theory fodder, but little more than that.

A common trend in this thread seems to be labeling speculation as "conspiracy theory", seemingly to get out of having to justify one form of speculation is more valid than another.

Why are statements-of-fact "conspiracy theory fodder"?
I pointed this earlier and was downvoted. As far as I know only Bush called it i-RAHK! As an Iraqi of course I felt it was idiotic of him not to know how to properly pronounce a name of a country he's leading a war into!
The Switch has the SoC of an Android tablet from 2015. That's how Nintendo can sell the switch at 200 bucks.

There's no way for valve to discount the deck, which uses a cutting edge SoC cut from the same cloth as the PS5, at anywhere near that price point.

Flagship hardware has flagship prices. If valve would have built a cheap but underpowered device to reach the price point of the switch nobody would have been interested. Gamers are into the deck because of its cutting edge specs.

Huh. I’ve been to Salton Sea a couple times and always really enjoy it. Nice place to kayak, the mist over the sea with the surrounding mountains makes it very picturesque the right time of day, and there aren’t motorboats flying by every second blasting music like you get with most lakes open to boating in SoCal.

I’ve only been in winter, which I’m sure helps. I certainly wouldn’t want to go in >100 degree heat.
I dont think this is cynical and I don't think it's a bad thing. OpenAI is not a huge org. The truth in 2021 is that not only is robotics 'just not there yet' in terms of being a useful vehicle for general intelligence research (obviously robotics research itself is still valuable), there is also nothing really pointing at this going to be the case in the next 5-10 years.

Given that, unless they want to commercialise fruit picking or warehouse robots, it seems sensible.
I was wondering why OpenAI's gym was archived on GitHub this pivot seems more sense.

Just so you know, even in print media the author does not generally pick the title. The title might tell you something about the general subject of the essay but you shouldn’t take it as a precise metadata. The predates the internet. Start reading based on the general topic.

> People often forget that "slippery slope" is a fallacy.

This is an extremely common misunderstanding. Slippery slopes aren't necessarily fallacious, the slippery slope fallacy isn't trying to say this. Many slippery slopes have occurred throughout history. The slippery slope fallacy pertains to a certain type of slippery slope argument.
Surely no one will get a loan because as soon as you pay your last fee, you can declare bankruptcy? That way you don't have to pay back that money and there is nothing to be repo'd. And if no one pays back loans, lends don't lend.

Isn't this the broad logic behind student loans not be dischargable already?

I don't think the current US system is correct. But I think there needs to be some balance rather than just never being dischargable.

Some of the "equity" based models offered by a few places (where you pay a percentage of income for X years) seem better to me. Or at least suitable in some cases.

I don’t think that means we should tell young people to take out loans to buy a Ferrari because it’s a ticket to easy money.

When the only kids going to college were either rich or highly motivated then having a degree made you stand out and could open doors. When everyone gets a degree it doesn’t make you stand out any more. Instead, not having a degree makes you look bad. (And unlike high school, which anyone can attend for free, most kids in the US need to take on a lot of debt just so the don’t get left behind.)
It's worse than that.

Mind that the day prior, she had stated they are 'helping' Facebook by flagging posts with 'disinformation'.

This list she wants them to share is a list of /people/ to ban, not merely /disinformation fragments/ to ban. Think less 'targeted removal of dangerous disinfo' and more 'China's censorship toolkit.'

It would certainly make their job easier if they only had to really work with one company to find the disinfo, and then propagate the bans everywhere. But all of these are things our government is explicitly forbidden from doing, and I hope we see a legal case brought forth ASAP.
Some employers pay for higher education, but there is little ability for people to actually get that education. Many people in this thread do not value a masters specifically because they are not a good investment just looking at the price.

If the education system was different, more people would want them, and they would be more useful. See commenter below who notes that CS masters are usually quite useful but also are not employment gating and have many reasons to stay competitive with other programs.
Here's my unvarnished opinion as a former recruiter turned developer...

You would have to be a complete and utter moron to truthfully relate your current or former pay history to a potential employer.

There are two primary things that they are doing when they ask for your salary history:

1. They want to know whether they can get you for cheap

2. They want to know the rates that the market is setting for a person of your talent level

You never have to be truthful about what you were paid and why you left unless you are in a profession that requires such information to be disclosed.

Add 20% and let them negotiate you down to what you are willing to move for. Any employer that isn't competent enough to price your talent versus the market is an employer who will screw you over in the future.
That’s a separate problem though and should be handled like so. Dictating in law what content independent platforms can and cannot disallow doesn’t solve the walled garden problem. It just places greater challenges on new entrants / would-be competitors while still allowing walled gardens to exist. Plus you also then lose the diversity of TOS that might attract new users to new platforms. It’s a lose/lose outcome that doesn’t even attempt to solve the problem you’re identifying.
Come on, could the title be any more click-baity?

Arts and U.S. Ivy are missing key words in the title.

If you lift your eyes beyond the U.S., there are countries where the student does not pay tuition and the offered degree program actually contains really useful material with a high quality teaching experience.

But sure, let's just all watch 10min youtube clips and claim it's at least as good.
Sorry, when I wrote my comment I didn't realize you might think I was implying you feel that way. That wasn't my intention. I was trying to call out a perspective in the article that I hadn't considered before (but that I ultimately disagree with for the reasons I stated).
This, combined with the ability to audit back 20 years if they find any deliberately incorrect tax returns, is a neat way to only audit a tiny fraction of returns, while keeping losses to fraud small.

I started experiencing cannabis induced panic attacks first year of college and quit after the second time. People were annoying about it for a few years but as time went on I found that more and more people had the same experience I did. MM is great but I think the recreational and unprescribed "benefits" are exaggerated. It's a shame we don't have more data.
People in the US place extremely high values on education. What is lacking is people's ability to pay for it.
Who’s the hate monger here? Maybe some of the people you are referring to understood the simple relationship between location of the lab and the outbreak as being valid evidence as well. And you call them “hate-mongers” for thinking so.

We don't. If by "we" you mean yourselves (NY Times) or your buddies, then the answer doesn't have to be that long and convoluted.
Better move quickly because we plan to de-orbit the ISS soon…

Personally I think we should just tug the ISS up a decent bit higher (50 to 100 year decay?) on the final crewed mission, and then mothball it. So we have enough time to build a big enough, actually permanent, space station that the ISS can be put inside that as a museum exhibit.

I also think Hubble deserves a robot tug boost too because that’s another priceless artefact with a retirement plan of “burn up over the South Pacific”
There is no reason to believe that the CPU is conscious though, and if it turned out to be, we can't explain it. In fact, there is nothing to suggest other people are conscious other than that they're probably the same as you. The only one you can be sure is conscious is yourself.
The captures from the SNES and GBA seem to use very different colour spaces, leaving the SNES footage looking dark and the GBA washed out, even when they use the exact same graphics. Makes them pretty hard to compare.
None. I believe the answer to the Fermi Paradox, at least for humanity, is “capitalism.” There are no governments or international institutions which are capable of responding to climate change. Every organization with political clout is based around growth, and that is the very thing which must be halted if not reversed.

But that won’t happen.

To elaborate a little further on why BB(30) does have a true value.

If BB(30) truly equals some particular numeral m, then there actually does exist a Turing machine M that has no more than 30 states and does halt with m 1's on its tape. Not only does this machine really exist, but the fact that it halts in this state is true Delta_0 statement, and thus it is trivially provable, you don't even need induction. It is provable in Robinson Arithmetic, it is provable in Peano Arithmetic, and it is provable in ZFC. Thus we have that RA proves "BB(30) ≥ m" and PA proves "BB(30) ≥ m" and ZFC proves "BB(30) ≥ m", etc.

By transitivity each of these systems also proves "BB(30) ≥ m₀" for every numeral m₀ less than m. But if m₁ is a numeral larger than m, it is no longer the case that RA proves "BB(30) ≥ m₁" and PA doesn't prove "BB(30) ≥ m₁" and (assuming ZFC is sound) ZFC doesn't prove "BB(30) ≥ m₁"

Thus we "can tell" what the true value of BB(30) is because it is the greatest value in which RA (or PA or (presumably) ZFC) proves "BB(30) ≥ m" for the numeral m denoting that value. Equivalently the value of BB(30) is the least value m for which RA, PA, or any other sound system, does not prove "BB(30) ≠ m".

We "can tell" this value even if we might not be able prove it in PA, or ZFC, or "ZFC + there exists a Mahlo cardinal". Indeed each different proof system likely can extend the range of BB values that are provable.

If you add an axiom "BB(30) = m" for some particular numeral m as an axiom to ZFC and it is the wrong value of m, you will either get an inconsistent system if "m" is too small, or you will get an unsound system if "m" is too large. In case "m" is to large, the unsound system will wrongly prove that certain Turing machines halt that do not actually halt. Specifically it will falsely prove that the Turing machine that searches for (a Turing machine with no more than 30 states that halts with "m" 1's on it tape) will halt, when such a machine does not actually halt.
I saw it a lot in China too, and one of my friends would grab my hand while we were walking out for some food. It did feel wrong to me at first. But as it happened over and over again it started to just feel friendly, nothing more.
Thank you so much for deep comment and great advice. Will definitely do the excercise.

My judo club was awesome: It’s about 70 people, all belts mixed during a good half of the session, but also all ages mixed, and you can invite anyone you want. Like in a dance club. Fighting a 12 years old who smashes me or a 70yo who also smashes me, truely made me alive. Along with, of course, the variety of people at my level.
I keep personal "runbooks" for a lot of the common work I deal with over time. Eventually, this stuff gets automated where possible, but taking the time to work through all of the problems, write it down, and do it in a way that I can show someone else has helped me make sure that when I sit down to automate something, I truly understand the "domain".

It also helps tremendously when you have someone reach out to you during off-hours when you can just look through some documentation you have on hand to blaze through a task that takes a lot less time than if you had to figure things out from scratch.
You're looking at it wrong. It's that there is so much bull out there that it would be impossible to refute it all.

It absolutely is. The virus will kill off the Missourians who are susceptible to it, eventually leaving Missourians with genetic resistance to the disease, while other populations won't develop that resistance due to using the vaccine.

When, for whatever reason, there is an interruption in the ability to provide the vaccine, huge numbers of the non-Missourian population will die off, and the rest of them will be so weakened that the Missourians will be able to overwhelm them, take their land, and march them off to Oklahoma.
I did my masters at a top 10-20 Masters university for ML. It was an intense course and I learned a ton. IMO, a masters is necessary for fields like ML and it is also an excellent way to transition from a non-CS undergrad to CS.

All of them are now working on their STEM-OPT or an H1B, but the course had been paid off within the 1st year. They seem to be paid in exactly same range that levels.fyi reports and many are rising up the ranks at a pace beyond their median American peer in the same company.

It seems like a win-win to me. Universities make more money used to fund research and undergrad scholarships. The US gets a steady stream of the top 95+ percentile of developing countries. They meaningfully contribute to the economy and the US maintains it hegemony by literally sucking other nations dry of their most important resource.

Also, the US is literally (I mean literally, in as close a sense that figuratively will allow) impossible to immigrate to as a STEM GRAD if the masters programs didn't exist. L1 transfers are incredibly small in number and actually exploitative. No one sponsors an H1b when they have to wait a non-descript number of ears before their employee can join.

As for code sweat-shop H1b exploiters (infosys, TCS,etc), the H1bs in FANG+s hate them far more than your standard anti-immigration american.
The Final Fantasy VII remake on PS4 is literally the (only) reason I own a PS4... I'm a big fan of remakes of classics as long as they stay true the original. Playing the FFVII remake has been beyond magical for me, it's like playing the original how I remember it (for the most part) instead of how it actually is (which is dated). How often in life do you get the chance to (re-)experience something like that? It's pretty freakin' awesome. I really hope some other classic games get the chance to shine again...

It has been my experience that it's safer for women to open up about mental health challenges than it is for men. Online at least, it seems that men are treated pretty poorly when they begin to open up about issues like these. Mental health issues affect everyone, but I wish we could try to be equally receptive to people regardless of their identity, especially since it is young men who tend to lash out in very violent ways when mental health issues go unchecked.
I wonder why there's such a big degree in difference between the two claims.

Is the prevailing opinion that progress in reinforcement learning is dependent on algorithmic advances, as opposed to simply scaling existing algorithms? If that is the case, I could see this decision as an acknowledgement that they are not well positioned to push the frontier of reinforcement learning - at least not compared to any other academic or industry lab. Where they have seen success, and the direction it seems they are consolidating their focus, is in scaling up existing algorithms with larger networks and larger datasets. Generative modeling and self supervised learning seem more amenable to this engineering-first approach, so it seems prudent for them to concentrate their efforts in these areas.
I'd expect if we moved towards a direct-bill model, tax policy would begin to optimize for "causes least frustration for the 200 million common-case taxpayers who do the direct billing."

We'd probably see more monkeying around with the standard deduction. I know for me, and presumably a lot of people (especially those without major mortgage interest), the current standard deduction exceeds the benefits to be had by itemization-- and claiming the trivialities like charitable donations or medical expenses.
Jenkins is the most battle tested and flexible build / CI system. In the end, you can have your (any?) build system create VMs outside of the build system. This could get expensive in CircleCI (having a long running build which is just waiting), maybe more feasible if you are self hosting Argo. You could of course make it a more manual thing. Typically it becomes overdone to do this thorough of testing on every commit
