Creativity Metric – The Divergent Association Task
4oz would be a large amount of gold, over $7000 worth.

From an article I read:

This year's medals are made from material recycled from electronic devices donated by the people of Japan.
However, Olympic gold medals are required to be made from at least 92.5% silver, and must contain a minimum of six grams of gold.
The Tokyo 2020 Olympic gold medals contain more than six grams of gold plating on pure silver.
Silver medals are pure silver while bronze medals are red brass (95% copper and 5% zinc).
The Olympic gold medals at Tokyo 2020 weigh roughly 556g, with silver weighing 550g and bronze 450g.

How to Be an Environmentally Friendly Cannnabusiness – Jesce Horton
Montel talks with Jesce Horton on this epsiode of Lets Be Blunt. Jesce is a visionary leader in the cannabis industry with a background in engineering, energy management and automation, and a passion for horticulture. In 2016, he was appointed by Oregon Governor Kate Brown to the Task Force for Cannabis Environmental Best Practice and continues this work today through the Resource Innovation Institute, an organization building the central platform for creating energy efficiency solutions and standards for the global cannabis industry. He is also on the board of directors for the Oregon Cannabis Association and he’s an advisory board member at Marijuana Business Daily and Ben’s Best, the new venture by Ben Cohen of Ben & Jerry's fame aimed at funding Black-owned cannabis companies and further supporting the Colorado Criminal Justice Reform Coalition and Last Prisoner Project. He’s served on numerous federal, state and local cannabis regulatory advisory committees to help shape the legal cannabis markets in both Oregon and California. He is the CEO at LOUD, an award wining cannabis company in Oregon.
Rest easy, there is a lot more to the books than that.
There's an interesting branch of math called "synthetic topology" where you study computational questions topologically. https://ncatlab.org/nlab/show/synthetic+topology

Given a set X of things that can be encoded for a Turing machine, consider the semidecidable subsets (those subsets of things for which a there's a Turing machine that will halt if and only if it's given one of them). This forms a basis for a topology; it has finite intersections because you can run two Turing machines in parallel. So, a subset S of X is considered to be open if every element p in S has a Turing machine that halts for p, and whenever it halts for any other element, that element is in S.

Given this topology, what does it mean to be compact? It means whenever you have a collection of Turing machines (possibly infinite!) such that for every element of X there's a Turing machine that halts for it, then there's some finite sub-collection of Turing machines with the same property.

The space of binary streams can be encoded as plain old Turing machine tapes (maybe give it to the Turing machine as a second tape for convenience). If a Turing machine halts given a tape, then it only looked at some prefix of the stream to make the decision, so it will also halt if you change anything outside that prefix. This corresponds to the usual product topology, with the basic Turing machines being "check that the stream has this fixed prefix." The space is a product of finite sets, so by the Tychonoff theorem it's compact.

An application of this is the following. Suppose you have a computable function f : binary streams -> bool. That is, you have a Turing machine that halts for every binary stream, resulting in either True or False. You can think of this as being two Turing machines, one that recognizes when f returns True (otherwise it artificially goes into an infinite loop), and similarly another that recognizes when f returns False (otherwise loops). Both of these Turing machines define open subsets of the space of binary streams, the union of which is the whole space of binary streams. Since they are open, they are all unions of all the basis sets of the product topology (recall: sets of all binary sequences with a common prefix). Since the space is compact, you only need finitely many of these basis sets -- let n be the longest prefix. Hence, there is a Turing machine for f that makes its decision by looking at only a prefix of a fixed length n of the binary stream!
Its clear to me that you don't really have an idea about the scales involved here, one, because you seem ambivalent about which group bothers you more (hint, it should be the people causing the most harm, no this isn't the poor people on assistance), and two because you seem to think that the working poor are typically making as much as $10/hr. Got some real "how much does a banana cost" vibes here.

To be less acrimonious and more specific, when the people that Jimmy Johns employs require public assistance to make ends meet, who do you accuse of accepting hand outs? If it is the people in poverty I think you've gotten tricked into forgetting the people with the power to change things.
Except that Uber's product is a commodity. It's far, far easier to switch to using a different ride sharing app than it is to switch to using a different database. Especially for a large organization.
I really like that the hint is optional.

You don't always want the hint because if you're jumping d steps ahead, you actually need to touch 2 log(d) nodes, once to walk up, and another to walk down. This means anytime you're moving more than d=sqrt(n) steps away you're better off just walking down from the root instead.

For example if n=1000000, if the hot section is wider than d=1000, you're better off going from root all the time. Of course if you access stuff that are directly adjacent you should still use inorder iteration for those (but I see that as a ++ operator, not a separate lookup).
This argument sounds entirely theoretical. Do you have an example of even one small town where average or median wages or benefits were decreased as a result of Amazon?

I frequently encounter armchair economists on the Internet making sweeping claims about various, but it is frustrating. It takes basically no effort to think up something plausible. But to take even the first step towards empirically verifying a given hypothesis is an enormous amount of work. Without even a rough empirical foundation, how valuable are these armchair theories?

A little dated now but the Economist had a little mini-article about Amazon and wages. Really highlights how difficult it is to draw any definitive causal links, as well as trade offs (like benefits and unemployment): https://www.economist.com/united-states/2018/01/20/what-amaz...
Good grief. What exactly did the author expect would happen when they explicitly told FB that they were of an age where FB can't (legally) offer them the service? And given he did and wants to retract it, just what kind of proof other than an ID would they be willing to provide?

There is no outrage to be had here.
Blizzard is on a roll with their PR
Sure, I can agree with this.

The issue is that 99% of senior other engineering professions top out at like, $160-$175k at most.

You can be fresh out of college, go to an absolutely entry level junior SWE job, and make $250k.

There lies the issue.

I would also argue EE is more difficult at the highest than SWE. There's some deeply rooted knowledge, logic, and physics required, whereas in SWE... at the highest levels, you can almost pave your own damn path however you choose to and make things work.
This looks like a desperate plea for attention and relevance, most likely a smoke cloud from someone having serious issues at the helm of his company.
My experience with Yarn 2 was switching to NPM 7.

NPM 7 is fantastic, and feels like a worthy successor to Yarn 1. Yarn >=2 is probably fine for what it is, but I wasn't prepared to invest resources into rearchitecting how we handle dependencies for nebulous (or possibly negative) benefit. Meanwhile, the old release of Yarn 1.x that I'd pinned in order to work around a blocker regression (v1.21.1) was starting to show its age, and eventually became unusable after a third-party package update triggered another hidden blocker bug in that release (which, IIRC, the team had elected not to fix because only 1.x was affected). At that point, it was untenable for us to continue relying on a broken, unmaintained tool for such a critical function.

Luckily, the stable release of NPM 7 arrived just in time for us to switch over with minimal hassle. Performance and reliability have been notably better in my experience (keeping in mind that my baseline for comparison is a release of Yarn from two years ago).

I'm grateful to the Yarn project for pushing NPM in the right direction, and wish it and its remaining users all the success in the world, but I no longer see an urgent need in the ecosystem for Yarn to exist and would no longer recommend it by default for any greenfield project.
I stored 2tb of actively used data on zfs without ecc ram from freebsd 8 to 12. I had no noticeable corruption. I only post this because there is a weird assumption that not using ecc ram is a death sentence for your zfs data.

I use ecc ram now and I think it's the proper way to do zfs, but let's not pretend you forfeit your data by not using ecc.
“For my friends, everything; for my enemies, the law.”
They don't even view making 200k per year as "making it". Joining a top tech company doesn't require luck or connections, anyone can do it if they got the talent and just practice programming enough.

Of course when you confront them they retreat to their motte and say that talent is also luck, and not getting cancer is luck etc, and therefore everything in life is actually luck, so they weren't wrong!
I disagree. I would not recommend flutter to anybody precisely because of how bad Dart is. It's such a productivity/maintenance drag that the framework is not worth it.
Fuel economy is typically printed the same place range already is computed =)

mpg is used to indicate fuel economy, comparing among cars. People might think -- do think -- that the difference between a 15mpg car and a 25mpg car is similar to the difference between a 25mpg car and a 35mpg car. But the difference is nowhere close in amount of gas saved per year of similar driving between the two. The former is a great boon to the environment and the pocketbook, but the latter is much more modest.
Found the landlord. Also, you have made quite a few assumptions there, friend. There are several good ideas listed here, including raising taxes on unoccupied homes.
> However, how do you award a bounty for addressing "risk of representational harm" due to historical biases not inherent in the model?

I think it's pretty straightforward. Most sensible, considerate humans would avoid cropping an image of a woman to her boobs simply because it's insensitive to do so. Just because the machine is trained to highlight text or other visual features doesn't preclude it from ALSO understanding human concepts which are difficult to express to the computer in a straightforward way.

There are plenty of ways the model can be improved (e.g., not preferring white faces over Black faces), and they're certainly difficult. If they weren't difficult, Twitter would have simply fixed the problem and there wouldn't be a competition. Arguably, though, if the job can reasonably accomplished manually by a human then a computer should be able to do a similarly effective job. Figuring out how is why it's a challenge. And if we can't figure out how, that's another interesting point in the ongoing conversation about ML.
PII is precisely defined, not pulled out of thin air, and nobody's going to jail because of it. Rich corporations like Amazon are fined for fucking with it though.
People would rather complain about the opportunities they don't have than exploit the ones they do have.
Yes. It does.

There are many things Amazon could improve but unfortunately this is the most blatantly incorrect argument that is repeated the most.
I understand verification methods for people who lose access to their accounts by means of a forgotten password or other memory fault on the user's end. But to lift a ban, I don't see how ID verification is relevant, unless the OP was still trying to pretend to be 12. Frankly, lying about your age online is so common IDK what to make of this story.
Literally thought about this two hours ago as a huge market with huge potential. Look at what Compass did for realtors/home buyers/sellers and then apply something similar to electricians, plumbers etc etc. Big big big money. Congrats! And good luck!
Yeah, sorry for the choice of words; I just fired something off with no editing. In my mind, I was thinking of MVC at it's worst (which is unfortunately common).

That being said, would love to learn more about how you structure code. What does a project structure look like for you? I usually conceptually try to separate the view and data starting with the simplest file structure and dividing as needed.
That's a great explanation, thanks.

Oh I'm already priced out in Europe. I'm not going into debt for 20-50 years just to pay for _one_ thing.
That rebuttal doesn't make sense. You're claiming that Mozilla is dragged into implementing bad standards by saying EME is a bad standard that they were dragged into, but Apple implemented EME before Mozilla did. The example standards the author gave have nobody arguing against them.
The automatic rendering of "3x9" into "3×9" is not a good default IMO. The page says it is usually enabled by default.

The other contextual changes look good.
Nintendo ruined the Mariners. They took over a decent team and drove it into the ground. By the time they sold the team in 2016 the team was one of the worst. But hey, they sell a lot of those virtual ads!

There are other megastores with options other than Amazon. Target, Walmart, etc.

I have found Amazon to be not the best with clothing/shoes unless you're buying the same shoes over and over - the pricing in that case is often not competitive either.
It seems like the manipulations were exceedingly silly. It seems like having the sophont start a nuclear war would be straightforward. It was hard for me to suspend disbelief in the sense that it had planet-sized computational power and the ability to manipulate some information on the subatomic level, but couldn't find a vulnerability in aging nuclear launch protocols? The history of near misses with human controlled nuclear weapons suggests a variety of vulnerabilities exist that wouldn't require e.g. directly hacking into command and control. Could it spoof images/data to a sub? Could it cause hallucinations in a large sensor array that feeds data to Norad or a Chinese/Russian equivalent?

Re MAD: I think a plan to destroy Earth would have been easily approved - much like it was in 1960-now, with ICBM and SSBN retaliatory strike capability. Obviously somewhat different in that those MAD-based nuclear wars would be extinctive but not deny the planet to the trisolarians, but the idea that human governments aren't ready to commit to that seems wrong given our history.
Forced peerDependency installations in v7 are a deal breaker for me. And as a package author, it's one of the more painful changes to NPM in recent times. Lest we forget the debacle the between prepare, install, prePublish and prePublishOnly that we're still dealing with, and which the other package managers have to contend with.
I am increasing convinced that all of the harms of social media can be traced back the ML models used to sort and filter user content. The world of pure deterministic feeds ordered by date descending never had these problems--things would still "go viral" I guess, but it was humans sharing them deliberately to people they knew.

I do not believe this problem can be fixed, nor do the companies involved have the incentive to do so beyond whatever minimal amount is necessary for PR purposes.
I hear stories like this occasionally. I've used node heavily at every day job for about 9 years. Needing to blow away node modules is so rare. Even on large teams with nested package.json files. With npm link and library development. Once npm added the lock file instead of shrinkwrap, it became a total non issue.

I am genuinely curious what are the specific issues which necessitate deleting all modules? Colleagues across operating systems with native modules? Old node versions?
I know a bunch of software engineers who haven't followed this trajectory, and I suspect that's where the this advice was aimed.

Particularly if you start off recently(ish) on the SWE FAANG track and were lucky with RSU timing etc., you'll find a lot of the options that come your way don't pay nearly as well. But you may find them exciting anyway.

One of the better Gitea instances. I recommend it.
I agree with this 100%, just want to add that the key is to be proactive and take the forks. If you are a halfway decent programmer and can navigate the job market in a halfway decent way you will end up with a high paying job. Some people are terrible at the latter and it is painful to watch.

These puritan activists larping as tech savvy victorian moralists should be ignored. While the “male gaze” jibe sounds enlightened and à la mode, it implicitly denies that women (especially the lesbian ones) have a gaze of their own, or asserts that it has been colonised by the omnipotent male gaze.

Don't take my word for it, here's noted feminist and professor Camille Paglia and Christina Hoff Sommers on the absurdity of the male gaze theory:

Interesting. I think middle management is more stressful because your job is to execute on business goal, but your influence is still limited. There's too much out of your control to feel confident in success or that the failures are solely due to your own decision processes.

And the best part is that the fine is calculated according to the parent company, so you can't create a subsidiary to handle all the iffy GDPR stuff and have it work with 0 turnover.

So if any of Google's properties F's up, the fine is calculated from Alphabet's annual turnover.
... I don't have a FB account so I don't really know what this looks like, but it seems really strange to me that an ad has a UX for hiding it that can end in a mandatory account ban. That's just asking for trouble.
I think the point is that there are plenty of generally desirable places to live where you can reasonably make a down payment on $150k/yr. You personally have chosen to rule out those places, for reasons that are good ones for you. That's your choice to make, of course, but you've decided you'll only consider the most expensive places in NJ to live, and many people will not do that.

(But man, have things changed. I grew up in central Jersey in the 80s, and back then no one of any means wanted to live across the Hudson from Manhattan. Nuts to see that now many people are priced out of that area.)
In order to tackle the problem of climate change, I'm afraid we're going to have to just leave behind all those in the long tail who are single-issue on one individual aspect of the environment.

So yes, you won't take them seriously, and they'll just not care. There's a sort of symmetry, with the exception that they're doing the other thing to some effect and you are not.
Yarn is absolutely safer than npm in terms of determinism and lock file preciseness. I think it was actually one of the main goals of yarn v2 to be fully reproductible and deterministic.

After performance, the other main reason we moved from npm to yarn was exactly that it completely removed an entire class of bugs we had that were caused by incompatible packages versions installed in various places of the repo.

In exchange of that, yarn will warn if it encounters packages that don’t declare their reps and peerDeps correctly. And there are loads of those. if you want to be safe and remove these warnings, you will have to either ask the package authors to declare their depa correctly, or fix them yourself manually in your yarn YML file.
And yet, where I live, we had our own "overpass rock throwing" incident just a few years ago. No Bevis or Butt-Head involved.

Who's to say the people who do these things wouldn't have found another equally horrifying outlet for their frustrations if Bevis and Butt-Head weren't a thing?
Bosch is quite big, they are also a major supplier of the things e.g. a Tesla is made off, e.g. of the hardware behind the self driving functionality. And health tech like germ detection.
Edit: this is wrong, see the comment below, I misunderstood an article that said "339 medals will be awarded". It's 339 events will be contested, and of course team events have multiple medals.

Well, not really thousands of medals - in this year's summer games there will be 339 medals awarded, so 113 gold medals.

Tokyo gold medals weigh 556g, so if they were solid gold (their weight would differ a bit but be in the same ball park) each gold medal would be worth nearly $33,000 just in metal costs, which would work out to a total of $3,694,286 for all the gold medals.

That's what the "V2" signifies: a major, (potentially) breaking change.

I agree wholly with this. Living in Southern NM we have a lot of stars. Just short drives and we can see the actual Milky Way band. I've always been saddened when I think of people who live in large cities and don't get to regularly see these things.

Then, the first time I spotted Saturn and Jupiter with my telescope in my driveway I was struck with fresh awe. I had seen them before, in larger telescopes and higher resolution, but to track it with your own, to see them and try to comprehend how big they are in order order to be seen from so far away... I still get chills.
The Web introduced the idea of the DOM[1] and Javascript was created to embrace it and extend it making it programable, while Java applets and Flash didn't respect the idea of The Web and didn't embrace the DOM at all, so maybe a false dichotomy was created were either more robust programming languages had to have the full control of the browser skipping The Web (too limiting?) and in the other hand for just operating the DOM Javascript was enough.
