How many FBI informants were at BLM protests trying to get people to riot? I'd bet it is a lot more than you think. I've seen a few videos where when someone gets called out for trying to ruin a peaceful protest they end up appearing to be exfiltrated by the cops before people turn on them.
Any M5M piece about Syria is automatically suspect. Recall how sure they were about Douma chlorine attacks, etc. Perhaps even worse than reporting fake crap are the true, relevant facts they leave out. TFA doesn't even mention the nation (USA) that currently occupies the resource-rich eastern third of the nation. Even the linked "War is Bad" article displays a map that pretends it's actually "Kurds" who are currently in control of all the oil and grain that Syria produces. These clowns weren't mad at Trump for the occupation, since Biden has continued it. They were just mad that Trump talked about the occupation.
The medium-confidence predictions are great for grounding or sourcing intuition. If you're trying to divide up a protein for an experiment and you have to choose where to divy it up - you'd like to use even a bad prediction to help weight an otherwise completely random approach. AND there are great methods to help with this, but they're often custom, time-consuming, and out-of-field for most. So being able to very quickly spot-check using a uniform state-of-the art, for any arbitrary protein, makes it actually pretty useful for certain kinds of pre-experimental guidance.
For all the technical excellence in git's plumbing, I'm surprised that nobody has bothered to implement resumable cloning yet. Apart from the issues with bitbucket as a specific platform, every now and then I have to clone repos of a size that a simple bandwidth calculation tells me is going to be a multi-day endeavour, and even in the best families, a connection is not guaranteed to stay up that long.

So to this day, I keep having to clone locally and then rsync --partial the .git folder over the slow link. Surely it should not be an insurmountable problem to not throw away a partial clone, but instead offer to resume at a reasonable checkpoint?
Sure. These poor revolutionaries and their billions of $$ of weapons.
Very true, they are more product focused vs. habit / self development focused.

This is different than humans polluting and crushing the whole ecosystem for it's greed. It will be better for other species if it try to reverse at least what it can instead as we are the cause. Humans are the literally the worst thing in universe. It will also be better for all species if humans die out asap.

I know, this isn't scientific, but I met in my life at least 50 people who did all kind of drugs and two of them have problems with schizophrenia and both did smoke much more marijuana, than I could ever do or want. Most of the others stopped at some point to do drugs and are now more or less normal people in their society.
I know, this says nothing, but I have become careful with marijuana and don't see it as being completely harmless. This being said, I think that alcohol and tobacco are much more dangerous than marijuana.

Multi-Task Prediction of Organ Dysfunction in ICUs
static_argnums is really just a way to give a bit more assumptions to attempt to build a quasi-static code even if it's using dynamic constructs. In this example that will force it to trace one only one of the two branches (depending on whichever static_argnums sends it down). That is going to generate incorrect code for input values which should've traced the other branch (so the real solution of `lax.cond` is to always trace and always compute both branches, as mentioned in the post). If the computation is actually not quasi-static, there's no good choice for a static argnum. See the factorial example.
The logical statement is that more the good guys have guns, the lesser chance the bad guys have to inflict damage.

It would be great to have no bad guys, but they will always exist, and will not follow the laws no matter what.

Laws should be written to enable good guys to protect themselves.
that's a pretty well documented trend. Google it.

There's definitely a market for UI designers (as well as visual designers).

"UI designer" as a job title basically means you as a designer have clear area of responsibility; the user interface. You find these role in larger companies because when you reach a certain scale you need to build design systems, digital and/or print style guides, asset frameworks, micro animations, etc.

Startups typically hire hybrid designers with a mix of UI and UX skills. In Scandinavia these roles are often called "UI/UX designers" and in US, where the design culture is more mature, it's sometimes called a "Product designer" and has a different set of responsibilities.

So the short answer is 'yes' but it depends on a lot of things like the size, maturity, and design org. within the company.
Exactly.

This is good for PG&E because it can't be blamed for wild fires. The wild fires will still continue to happen only now it will be the set remaining causes:

(lightning, car exhaust systems, campers' fires, arsonists, ...)

It's NOT primarily or even remotely Global Warming however. California has a fundamentally dry climate the intrinsically assures wild fires will occur. Expanding in wild fire prone areas is a direct result of real estate booms and costs, which are primarily high for artificial human reasons such as NIMBYism, greed, real estate as investment, etc.

The Accessibility Stalemate
The AI winter didn't seem to hurt AI

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AI_winter
This is a really cool post.

It seems like you can't solve this kind of thing with a new jax primitive for the algorithm, but what prevents new function transformations from doing what the mentioned julia libraries do? It seems like between new function transformations and new primitives, you out to be able to do just about anything. Is XLA the issue, and you could run but not jit the result?
So all DMVs suck and CA actually has one of the top 5 customer satisfaction ratings in the USA (1). If you're wondering why DMVs suck in general, it's most likely due to the chronic understaffing & number of people that use the service (2). If you live in CA, you can actually do most things DMV online and quickly. There is that super annoying Real ID law though and you have to visit a DMV for that. That law was passed under a Republican administration (congress & presidential) (3) in 2005, is creating a massive burden for the DMV, and has few if any benefits for national security.

I'd suggest thinking about ways we can improve the service or reduce the reliance on it. California is the most diverse state in the USA (4) and accommodation for many languages for an in-person service is really difficult. California certainly has significant unique issues but you picked an astounding poor example with little research or thought.

A bigger problem we should look at is why liberals fund this whole country and conservatives are so dependent on welfare (5 - look in particular at the state dependency map based on political leaning). Democratic congressional districts represent 70% of GDP (6) despite representing 50% of the US senate. Isn't that crazy?

Explaining medical AI is easier said than done
Some are valuable for the reasons the other person responding noted, but some of the low confidence predictions may also be high confidence predictions of a disordered class of protein that doesn't have a standard rest state. So it's useful work one way or the other.

Yeah the Tesla gear definitely gets my attention, seems like a pretty slick set-up. I’m not sure exactly what the tax rebate is currently in MA, I feel like some big ones expired in the last 1-2 years.
The word exfil for data is extension of the military usage. Used for cases where adversaries has difficulty collecting it. Implies some unusual methods were used.

e.g. when the customer is using adblock to evade surveillances, or files are deliberately isolated from the Internet.

Maybe more people are borderline schizophrenic than we realize.

Cancer detection improved and people thought that meant cancer rates are up but, to my current knowledge, no one knows which is true.

I’m not going to accept this is marijuana causing schizophrenia given this. Society, their specific DNA, family life, could be, and marijuana use is merely exposing it, and enabling proper diagnosis.
The TPM provides a number of useful functions but the use case upon which it was created was to act as a tamper-evident seal. We have such seals on all sorts of things in our lives: Food containers, shipping containers, etc.

The big difference between the TPM and something like a food seal is that the end user is the one that opens the food and knows that yes, "I did that myself; this is intended." Whereas with the TPM the only "user" with the right to break the seal is a 3rd party that has completely different--and often conflicting--interests to the end user (and owner of the device). If the end user/owner breaks the seal they're treated as an attacker. This is the big problem and the big bad thing that must not be allowed.

The entertainment/music industry (the only ones that actually want this) are looking for a guarantee that the end user has not modified the device that they own in order to play back their content. It's ridiculous.

It's not just ridiculous that they are seeking what is essentially a veto right over everyone's systems it's also ridiculous in that it assumes it'll actually be effective in any way, shape, or form.

There's a million and one ways to work around this kind of "protection" many of which are trivial (e.g. point a camera at the device). The industry knows this!

So then the question becomes: Why do it? The answer is simple: So they can be the gatekeepers for all devices sold and therefore be able to veto in essence any devices the don't like. They may even be able to extract a tidy profit from those who require certification.

The whole notion is anti-consumer and just generally a really bad idea from the perspective of technological progress and innovation. Content owners should not have any say whatsoever in how general purpose devices are made or used. They should conform to the market; not the other way around.
> they may be contributing very little to society (or maybe a lot), but regardless there's a sense of superiority

A sober individual's brain is operating on standard (often societally installed) reward mechanism, including "succeeding" on certain self-evaluated measures like "contributions to society"

It's commonly said that weed makes you "OK with being bored". i.e. standard reward mechanisms mentioned above don't really matter much when you're high.

It has nothing to do with narcissism or sense of superiority as you call it, just that their reward mechanism doesn't include things like "how much am I contributing to society". Apathy is a better word for it.
You also couldn't take place in discussions if you chose to moderate, which I think is a +1 insightful way to handle things.
Makes sense, but I think that you only gain safety when you are checking attributes of the directories leading to the file, but not when you are checking the file itself. For example, you said

> In the second case, between those two lines, you can have something else jump in and modify or remove or repermission or whatever the "some file".

Modifying/removing/repermissioning "some file" is still possible even with openat() if you do it between the time you open("some path") and openat("some file"). There is still a race condition there in either case if you are examining the contents of the directory (e.g. "stat"ing the file and then calling openat). You can also modify/repermission "some path" as well. The only thing openat() protects you from is removing/replacing "some path" (not "some file") and I agree that that is valuable for security purposes.
Also OT: I built something very similar, but with text messages and asking for a positive thing that happened during the day rather than a journal entry (forcing myself to look for positive things in a day helped snap me out of a spiral toward depression in the early days of lockdowns). I spent a weekend getting it to the point where it was good enough to share with friends and family, and about a dozen of them signed up. My mom and I are the only ones who still use it.

I guess I have two thoughts: 1) simple, habit-based products aren't nearly as sticky as I thought without some kind of social validation component. 2) dogfooding your projects with your personal network is a great way to see if they're actually sticky and just to learn more about the market in general - I recommend it.

Which shows another inner-mind distinction, because some people hear voices when they read. I don't, with the exception of some rich dialogue.

In general this is true of the fastest readers (this has been studied I believe), and what's interesting is how recent this is, the normal medieval fashion was to read out loud (at least moving lips and muttering) and those who were able to read without doing this were considered spooky.

Psychiatrist (and addiction psychiatrist in training) here. I agree that calling substance use disorders a disease is highly problematic. However, I think that while the majority of people who use substances don't have a problem, there are many people who use substances in a maladaptive (or disordered) way that dramatically impacts their ability to function, and we need a name to describe that. Substance use disorder is a pretty neutral term, and much better than the older "abuse" and "dependence" terminology for a number of reasons. The wording isn't intended to suggest that personal responsibility isn't required--and any treating clinician would quash that idea right away. It's a way to describe patterns and determine what might be helpful for an individual. It's certainly imperfect, but a much better description than past nomenclature.

Hence the "unsafe drop in blood pressure" disclaimer.
Generally speaking, the US prefers stability over chaos, even among its enemies.

Plans with respect to every country have changed over time and author, but I think it's safe to say that many in the US had a vision of the middle east's various leaders being replaced quickly and 'cleanly' by more US-friendly alternatives, hopefully supported by the people who they rule over. In many cases we did things, overtly or covertly, to encourage that.

I don't think it's reasonable to assume some hidden master plan to cause chaos. It is however, valid to question what stupid choices we made to get to this point, and if they looked just as stupid at the time.
It is not at all clear that we French were actually refusing to get vaccinated.

First, it would seem the least vaccinated people were generally the poorest as well. The vaccine is free, but we generally need to get an appointment through some web site, on our own initiative. Our appointed family doctor did not call us to even ask whether we'd like to be vaccinated. This hints towards an accessibility problem.

Second, when you look at the charts https://covidtracker.fr/vaccintracker/ (Click the "Injections Quotidiennes" tab on the second figure.), you can see that the daily injection didn't fall. It merely plateaued. Sure, first injections did fall, but they did so at the same time second injections were soaring, so they compensated each other. This plateau suggests our vaccination centres were simply functioning at (or close to) full capacity.

Third, on July the 12th, at the time our President made his speech about restricting everyone's freedom (including the vaccinated, since you'd have to present your digital pass basically everywhere to basically anyone), they were justifying our "Reluctance" by quoting vaccination rate across the whole population, which was around 52%. What they didn't say is that this stats includes children under 12, for which vaccination is simply not available, and teenagers, for which our CCNE (Comité Consultatif National d'Éthique) said on June the 9th that it was not clear teenage vaccination was safe enough https://www.ccne-ethique.fr/fr/actualites/enjeux-ethiques-re... It's only reasonable under these circumstances to exclude all underage people from the statistics. I found that the vaccination rate among adults was almost reaching 70%, and climbing.

My conclusion: what our president is attempting is utterly disproportionate and unjustified. Don't get me wrong, we are facing a fourth wave right now. Maybe something does indeed need to be done. But a digital pass? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fCUTX1jurJ4 No thanks.
This is what I'm referring to:

> A lot will be from before 2000, before we had things like "Agile" and "unit tests" and "widespread version control", so you can't extrapolate any of their conclusions to what we're doing. As a rule of thumb I try to keep to papers after 2010.

While I admit that even in the late 90s, it seemed strange to me to see citations from the 70s or 80s about projects from the 60s (like, say, OS/360), I'm not convinced that so much has changed in the last ten to twenty years as to render all previous research irrelevant.
It's your right to be selfish and ungenerous whether it is by means of "mindfulness meditation" or some other means.
> I don't think tattoos are injected into the muscles - they're only skin-deep!

Well rats, there goes that analogy.

But I've got another one: maybe a decade ago I had to give a loved one IM injections regularly (there was a class at the hospital and everything), and if there had been a 1% chance of fatal results the drug wouldn't have made it out of the lab.
this is prime shit Hacker News says right here. Wait until you learn banks close on Sunday. Or have maintenance windows for their website, ATM, etc.
I, as a devout liberal from San Francisco label you a racist bigot.
As far as I can tell US prisons (in generally, not necessary all but I think most) are basically a heap of human right violations.

In that context I think extraditing anyone to the US should be treated as a human right violation and as such should not be done.

And even if we ignore their prisons from a German Law POV a lot of their law is fundamentally in conflict with the values represented by the constitution and might also be in conflict with the human right charter, which at least for Germany (and potentially other countries, too) is another reason why extradition to the US should not be allowed.
>And the proposed solution doesn't fix that. Most of those people don't have a problem with unexpected expense once a year. They don't budget and are short on cash every month. So now imagine Bob needs money halfway through the month. He takes out 50% of his pay. He uses is for immediate needs and than has to live at 50% of his pay for the next 1.5 month.

This is extremely paternalistic and shows how little you automatically think of someone who isn't paid a lot of money. You think that people who don't have money, their problem must be budgeting ("stop eating all that avocado toast!!"), so you need to slowly ration out their money "for their own good." Complete ideological BS.
Partial obstructions are not going to be rare for customers. While not a best-case review, this is arguably a more authentic review.
Timing couldn't be better for us! A lot of our customers are asking about a SFDC integration, but it's been hard for us to pull trigger on actually building it.

This seems like it could drastically cut down the build time.

No, we already have built systems that can not run code that wasn't approved. And there are systems that are not vulnerable to remote code execution. And there are systems in which even if either were to occur the amount of damage able to be done can be arbitrarily limited.
It isn't a law against journalists or against everyone. Nothing new is being introduced, all that is happening is that rules against disclosure of confidential documents are being hardened...but these rules already exist today.

Also, I am also not sure how the distinction aren't obvious: this is happening because a journalist, seemingly acting at the behest of a nation state, leaked confidential documents relating to national security. The UK already has laws that make this a criminal offence (and btw, the reason why the 1989 Act was passed was because someone did something very similar in the 80s, and tried to claim a public interest defence...this is not new). It is not aimed at journalists criticising the govt. It is not aimed at leaking generally. The purpose of this act is legitimate: to dissuade people from leaking stuff that is confidential for a reason (and btw, when journalists do get access to this stuff, they usually ask the govt what they should do anyway...obviously, this is changing but the situation that people are concerned about already exists, and hasn't led to lower levels of scrutiny...the irony of people who are relentlessly critical of the govt complaining about being silenced).

This is just like the policing bill. The media are misreporting what the actual content is (not to a huge degree, but enough), the noisy minority are getting their views from other uninformed people on Twitter, and no-one actually has a clue what is going on (I have read one story on this that actually quotes an actor's tweets...who cares?). Democracy in action.

I use Minikube, I run `eval $(minikube docker-env)` and push my images straight into it - after patching imagePullPolicy to "IfNotPresent" for any resources using snapshot images - as K8s defaults to IfNotPresent, unless the image ends with "snapshot", then it defaults to "Always"...
