> overstates the benefits and undercounts the drawbacks of requiring black-box algorithms to be explainable.

I wrote the essay linked below [0] a few months ago. It is very relevant here. I argue that asking ML for explanations forces you to get a dumbed down version of the result, just like asking any expert to explain all the subtlety of what they are doing. Asking for explanations is a kind of micromanagement. There are instances where explanations are important (like research), but much less so in model deployment.

The better way is to focus on the results the models provide, and confidence that the model is making supported decisions (i.e. is not extrapolating or predicting on out of distribution data). This is how we would use other kinds of experts - validate their expertise and trust them when they are working in their area.

Cargo cult programming, as defined in the Wikipedia article referenced in the blog[1], is bad.

The blog post asserts ways to identify cargo cult programming but, unfortunately, they are probably even worse. Forcing code authors to eloquently describe code that they may have written long ago, then judging the code based on that eloquence, strikes me as a cargo cult method all by itself.

The problem with surveillance is actually not the surveillance itself, but inequality in its application. This has been true for a long time; before the Internet age people with power just built higher fences

And so, there are two distinct solutions: (a) make privacy cheaper and more accessible (b) apply radical openness to everybody, both haves and have-nots. Second solution has been overlooked somewhat and it might have some useful side-effects like reducing amount of resources spent on pointless competition and zero-sum games
The Element Messenger in the iOS app store also has an appalling privacy label, considering it's a client for an ostensibly selfhostable service.

I don't use Matrix because I have not seen anything that suggests that you or the dev team are interested in building software that maintains end user privacy.

All of it phones home by default.

Everyone I have seen try to set up a selfhosted homeserver ends up with a config that has users phoning home back to Vector. At some point the "you can configure it however you want!" line to dodge this issue doesn't hold up.

Defaults matter. Your ignoring this means that the software is, in my view, insecure out of the box.
This is wonderful! I've been using Matrix for the last several months for work, and it's mostly a huge improvement over that vile ransomware Slack. Especially Gomuks is a huge improvement.

One drawback I've been suffering is that I can't figure out how to keep logs. Our server had a failure and was down for a day, so Element on my phone decided it should forget all its keys (and also my password). Now I've lost access to all the past channel logs on our E2E channels, and it seems like nobody on the channel has a version they can usably copy and paste; Element in particular doesn't allow you to copy and paste large chunks of chat history because, when you scroll back a lot, the chunks that are scrolled out of view cease to exist (from the point of view of the copy-paste buffer).

Also gomuks deleted all my session information when my local disk got full. Maybe I should try Bitlbee?

So, there are still a lot of rough edges! But there's a path to getting them fixed, since it's free software and an open protocol spec. Hopefully the German government will be a good collaborator in contributing improvements!
I saw an older Model S (still with "teslamotors.com" licence plate holder) charging at the new V3 supercharger, and it had to use an adapter. CCS FTW.
Yes, it's been accomplished with paper in the past, but at great expense as many of the teams of the past were large. Take for example any control room of the 1960s, which had 40-60 people in it. Today's teams are scattered (and working from home much of the time), and much smaller (think less than 5) and must be able to accomplish the same tasks as those larger teams of the 1960s. Our software enables the teams to be smaller, more agile, and communicate better from anywhere in the world.
You are absolutely dickless, aren't you.
I'm somewhat relieved that that's the only point of my comment you pulled me up on.
`.map(x => x * x)`

This isn't how you make a rust closure. It should be `.map(|x| x * x)`. Besides the mistake, it's exactly the example from the readme for rayon.
We're so far into the age of search engines that you're even ending statements as queries

"Modeled after" - yes. But they are not functionally equivalent to the weapons issued to servicemen and women. They are in every sense that matters, functionally equivalent to any generic semi-automatic hunting rifle.

In fact, one could say that many of these media-demonized "assault rifles" are less "powerful" than common hunting rifles, as from a pure ballistic energy standpoint, many common hunting cartridges exceed the power of .223 Remington / 5.56 NATO rounds.
The worst part of it all is from your link:

> s. The lower is directly connected to the dockland architecture, its brickwork being inspired directly by the nearby Stanley Dock. Also, the latticework brick facade would be a loose tribute to Archibald Leitch (whose works include Goodison), sometimes called the father of English stadia. In a later iteration the latticework pattern was simplified and strengthened by Pattern Design.

They even made a token effort to be in keeping, and then planned [1] to be the view across the waterfront. Insanity!

Nope.. and every other vendor is having issues implementing it. The ID.4 from VW is awaiting a software update to enable plug and charge. Tesla's is proprietary.
I always take theanine with my caffeine (that is, I drink tea).
It's effectively a 'macro' for metaprogramming.
I've seen this guy before and had the same thought as you, and my guess is that there is truth to it (the abstraction makes people weirdly ok with surveillance) - but i also think someone being fairly close to you monitoring you is different: that person could potentially harm you at any moment and them just staring at you filming with minimal to no conversation is threatening.

I would like to see this stunt again but done in a way that gets a clearer message out and doesn't make it seem like they're about to pull a weapon.
It is, but it is still really ugly and feels very out of place on a Mac.

Is this not reading too much into it? How many sports teams in the US use Vikings, Spartans, or Trojans as mascots? To my knowledge "we" (whoever that is supposed to mean) never defeated these people. They are generally associated by the public as having been fierce warriors.
As a sidenote, it's crazy how bad some of the government IT projects are. In the country I'm thinking of I'm pretty sure corruption plays a big role in it, but even so, you have to be very illiterate in IT for it to not be obvious that the contractor didn't do their job. I guess a lot of the administrators responsible for evaluating the project's status are too old to have grown up with internet and computers around them.
How does it know what terraform to generate? Say I create a new Phoenix project with a postgres database Repo.

Does Digger infer all the terraform necessary from a Dockerfile?
Actually, it uses port 8448 for federation [0], which is unlikely to conflict with other services. But, even if it does, there are ways to specify a different port or subdomain [1].

Ioniq 5 is good proof that charging continues to improve, it charges about 22 km/minute, provided there is access to a 350 kW DC facility.

If there is only 100 kW DC available, charging will be slower than the Enyaq.

Range is a bit smaller than Enyaq and it's price is still rather high.
A small business never having to handle cash would have a non-trivial labor savings. Counting cash drawers in and out, preparing bank deposits, etc takes time that you have to pay for. No cash also means no theft of cash (by employees, generally).
There's pharma companies worth over a billion dollars based on studies with a smaller sample sizes so I don't see N=36 as a deal breaker especially when there's very little money incentive here.
While I share your nostalgia for the web of yore, it depends on the use case. The web browser is and has been an execution environment, long before WASM. Giving developers better low level tools unlocks more possibilities. I'm not really seeing the connection with applets/activex/flash. Sure you can do some things with WASM that you could do with those old tools, and much more.
The thing with software is that it takes two weeks to get to 90% finished, then two years to get from 90% to something 100% production ready. Having worked over 5 years with ecommerce software I could write a fully working e-commerce site in two weeks, but then the marketing teem want to have it all integrated with 50 different tracking systems, and support 10 different payment systems in 30 countries, and have the correct VAT handling as well comply to local laws, integrated shipping systems, and of course 30 different versions of the site in all languages. And integrated with business software. And every moth the marketing team want to start a new compaign, buy 3 and get 20% off, buy only milk and get 30% off, buy a red shirt and get 25% off, discount codes, discount codes that includes shipping, etc. Did you know that different products have different VAT in different countries and within the same country as well? And shipping should use the average VAT from the products ordered - depending on country...
https://github.com/russelldavies/matrix-archive is your best bet for exporting conversations right now. There's a GSoC project ongoing to build something like this into Element Web too so you can just hit "download" on a room and export it all nicely.
Instead, we as an industry prefer to adopt magical thinking where we pretend that software projects aren't hard and lengthy and risky (even when the domain and tech are well understood), then we act surprised when the project "overruns".
Web workers already exist and there's wasm threading libraries that target just web workers.

It's just that with sharedarraybuffers and atomics we unlock better performance and can match APIs of native OSes. But that's okay, we can still have a fallback for Safari (specially if we can architect the app so the threads only communicate by passing messages) and it shouldn't be a big deal.
I've recently switched over to green tea and really wish I had earlier.
I believe that it was an Apple computer. Also, it didn't have a colored screen, it was completely green. Thanks for the link though, I may do some sleuthing.
I saw it too, and IMO the ecosystem is better than ever now. It took a few years of stagnation for SF to really dig their hooks in, but everything is nice and integrated now.
New take on hierarchical time series forecasting improves accuracy
Also it's nice for bad references to trigger AttributeError which is almost always a design error, whereas KeyError is not always so.

I haven't tried it but type hints are probably smart enough to find errors like this statically with namedtuple, but probably not so with a dict.
I guess it depends on your perspective.

For example, if you work for musescore... ;)
My experience with China customs is that if custom officer feels like taxing you 15%/25%/45% on this particular day, they will find a way to tax you. Unless.

Jeff Bezos says polluting industries can be moved to space

My understanding of rent in both Sweden and the Netherlands, is that of any EU capital: easily 30-50% of your monthly income goes to landlords.

Could you clarify your view on this?
Seems like there's a ton of stuff out there, so it's kinda whatever you want.

No need to read just new-publications, though. If you want to read Greek mythology, Euclid's "Elements", biblical texts, or whatever, it's out there.
Really conflicted if I should even post this, but I think my curiousity of what the feedback would be has gotten the better of me.

I know the interface could probably be more flashy and maybe some tweaks to make it more intuitive. I also plan to add better metric/English options, translations, and better output on the party half (how many bottles, cases, etc) as well as another input on what balance of drink type is preferred by attendees, like a spider chart (or whatever those web shaped charts are) of beer v wine v liquor.

"By not being generic the builtin CL numeric functions run very fast on the most common number types; that was the tradeoff benefit of not designing them be generic."

Microsoft included Teams with their offerings that most businesses already subscribe to. So, it's essentially "free." It makes it really had to pick other options. Especially because it has Active Directory.
I think you're right that pretty much any approach to Native Americans by non-Native Americans is going to end up being problematic -- but is that really so surprising, given the immensity of what happened? How to even begin making amends for a multi-century campaign that literally erased a continent's worth of civilizations off the face of the earth? Massive reparations maybe? Massive land reform? If we're not talking about actions at that scale, then isn't any monument, memorial, or other form of honor little more than a sop and, arguably, more about assuaging the feelings of non-Natives?
You should still provide a fallback without sharedarraybuffers and atomics because safari doesn't provide them.

Anecdotally I've found that taking some l-theanine with coffee helps takes some of the edge off of the caffeine.
You wouldn't mix tea in your coffee to do that. You would just buy L-Theanine powder and mix it in. It's not flavorless but due to the small quantity needed you shouldn't taste it once mixed in your coffee

It was probably not pushed to 2024 because Paris has already started prepping for those and would not allow Tokyo to push their date. A lot of the facilities work is built under the assumption of a particular schedule, at least when it comes to expected longevity and plans for the infrastructure after the games; you can push out some things for a year but people already have plans and schedules for using the space taken up by some of the facilities. Maybe they could have given Tokyo 2032, but it would have represented a huge loss in terms of wasted funds and few of the facilities would be available for the later games.

There is also the reputation aspects to consider. The IOC is a rigid, corrupt organization and any disruption or delay that might turn any focus to the IOC itself is not to be tolerated. I am assuming that internally the org is willing to put up with another Montreal or Sochi if it means that the schedule keeps ticking along and the org can hope that people forget the failures in four or eight years.
The Olympics are an extremely wasteful way to see athletes do fun and sometimes heartwarming stuff.

They need to stop building massive new infrastructure every time. Aside from the environmental issues, it seems like it almost always comes at massive cost to the citizens of the host country. Our world deserves better, and we have plenty of other sports we can watch in the meantime.
The function was defined to either take a space separated list of names or a sequence of names. The docs seem pretty clear to me:

> The field_names are a sequence of strings such as ['x', 'y']. Alternatively, field_names can be a single string with each fieldname separated by whitespace and/or commas, for example 'x y' or 'x, y'.
From the Congressional Budget Office:

The second point, in the first paragraph:

> Higher prices for goods and services—stemming from the higher wages of workers paid at or near the minimum wage, such as those providing long-term health care—would contribute to increases in federal spending.

The whole thing is an interesting read, actually
I understand the supply-demand problem, of course disasters are rare and few in number in remote areas.

To rephrase, why can’t the gov actually pay the volunteers? It seems weird that they are given snacks and water, in exchange for dangerous labor.
I charge my iPhone exclusively with a Qi charger that is older than the USB-C spec.

Teslas are a status symbol, but they sell in volume because they also have a usable network. Given enough competitive market pressure, front-runners can and will make changes.
I'm not sure I understand that. The Tesla plug is 5 pin - as is CCS.

In terms of usability, CCS just plugs in. I've not used a Tesla plug, but I'm curious as to how that could be cheaper.

CCS doesn't weigh that much - it's a plastic shell around metal pins. The cable weighs a fair bit - but isn't that the same of any rugged cable?
That leaves room for miscommunication, though. If someone expects a response from me, I'd rather they make sure to ask it at the very top so that I don't miss that request with everything else that's going on.

Re-reading the statement, maybe they simply mean replies should be above the original e-mail rather than inline?

I thought Shaken and Stir, would help with some of that. The problem still comes from the bad actors doing this 'swatting', and the law enforcement agencies not having better policies to deal with this.
This is a popular opinion that I tend to agree with on a personal preference level, but Microsoft's userbase across Teams and Skype is still much larger than Slack's... so they're certainly not doing a very bad job outside of the realm of HN opinion.

Salesforce is probably banking on a similar bundling tactic to 365, which makes the sale seem like a tactical move reflecting the reality that better doesn't always matter. Plus Microsoft is also working on a CRM to rival Salesforce.
Writing JavaScript and making sure my web UI gets laid out exactly as I intend makes me feel like I'm making a UI in a word processor that has a very advanced macro system — but it's still a word processor at its core.

Flash on the other hand felt more like a proper programming environment. A shame it was proprietary. And a big shame Adobe didn't open-source Flash Player after discontinuing it.
Boomers are comfortable with it. This is partly because they're very well served by government, so why not empower it further and no fear of consequences of opposing government. Partly because they don't understand it.

It's a shame that the most prolific public view of Grissom is how he was portrayed in "The Right Stuff". His exasperation trying to describe it as a "glitch, a technical malfunction" in front of the unbelieving review board.

Apparently, they did, indeed, later learn that the bolts "just blew". And, at least in part, because of that, the door on Apollo 1 did NOT have explosive bolts. If the bolts had worked properly on Mercury, then the bolts may have been in place on Apollo 1, and the crew and Gus Grissom may well still be alive today because of them.

As the engineer said in "From the Earth to the Moon", where this was dramatized, "I've never been a fan of irony."
