Think of it as institutional media that other institutions pay attention to.

Sure CNN and MSNBC viewing numbers might not be as high as PewDiePie, but the type of people that watch it will be more valuable to influence.
This simply is inflation, specifically a pretty good instance of an inflation measurement. An instance of an inflation measurement is just the record of the change of price of X, where X is either constant or (typically) also changes over time. Here X = a meal.
It isn't like anybody is going to really stop you from living there. There are multiple land disputes over Antarctica and nobody has given a shit about those. Plus all the research stations which provide permanent habitat if someone wanted to keep shipping in supplies. You expect if you built a greenhouse or power generation source for indoor gardening that some government would spend the effort to send in troops or bomb you?

As long as a means of payment is accepted by some creditor, it has value to the extent that it can find its way through the economy to that creditor. That’s why people (and money launderers) value Big Co gift cards at something approaching face value.
I'm still confused on the semantics here. My data in this case is broadly representative of the real world input - so what's wrong?

This is where I'm confused on the general idea of "algorithmic bias". Any maximally optimized classifier over the population may perform worse on any minority group (broadly defined).

Representative data is necessary to achieve highest efficiency (as otherwise you will underperform in the real world), but it doesn't solve the problem of say relatively reduced recall of a minority group (which is often discussed in these posts).

In fact, given that groupings are arbitrary, I don't think this is a solvable problem.

Interview with a Crypto “Scam Artist”
Wow, there is just no information at all about it. A few clicks leads to the user manual, which also assumes you know what it is: https://download.saharasupport.com/Documents/LynxHowToGuide..... There's a little more information on the app stores, mostly hidden in the loud video: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.clevertouc..., https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/p/lynx-whiteboard/9np33m4m3r.... It seems to be mainly focused on lesson planning and classroom use.
The Navy hasn't completely given up on the LCS. More are still being built whereas Zumwalt procurement was stopped at 3. The current thinking is to remove the main guns and install missile launchers in their place.
Just because Russia and China have no problem conducting industrial espionage with military cyber units, doesn't mean the rest of the world can't.

It means they choose not to.

So it's a pretty skewed view to say "These countries end up in the news for hacking, therefore their capabilities are greater than everyone else's."
this is anti-VAX rhetoric. Somebody flag this crap.
This doesn't exist on Amazon Japan, which is annoying.
It does make me wonder though - how much code is actually in common between the various country-specific Amazons?
I spent months trying to get some clustering solution of redis running in kubernetes. Every single solution was a huge hack such as running a HAProxy in front on it and having that point to the master.

The best solution I found was running keydb in a multi-master, multi-replica mode. All of the pods are masters, any pod can be written to and the keys will be copied over to the other masters/replicas. Performance is decent too.
This is an excellent post. Thank you!

I felt like the part that wasn't in line with Kuhn was the idea that there was something wrong with a field if incremental improvement couldn't lead to a breakthrough like AGI. You're right. He's arguing Kuhn's point. But he seems to use it to conclude that machine learning is a dead end when it comes to AGI. Further, he seems to think this means AGI won't happen any time soon.

But, if I'm not misinterpreting Kuhn again, knowing that a revolution is necessary to overturn the current dogma (which I would argue is deep learning) doesn't tell us anything about when the revolution will occur. It could be tomorrow or 50 years from now or never. So, specifically, it doesn't tell us anything about machine learning in general, whether AGI is possible, or when AGI will happen.
I wouldn't be at all surprised that there's going to be slowdowns of growth in various areas, some things are by definition going to be constrained in terms of space/resources. (e.g. growth of # home units in New York City) I don't think infinite liniear or infinite exponential growth is the expectation.

That having been said, for this particular example (life expectancy) it's typically a bit better to look at life expectancy at age x, often 5, 10 or 15 are chosen.

It's because infant mortality used to be sky-high, as 25% (one in four) in 1900 and 16% (one in 6) in 1950 worldwide, to < 2.9% today, with the best countries now around 0.2%.

If say one in four humans becomes virtually zero years old, that skews the average down a lot, e.g. from 65 to 40. But it doesn't mean that the average person who makes it through the first few years would've died at age 40.

If we look at improvements of life expectancy for those who already raeached age 10, it looks like this and is a pretty straight line with fewer indications of slowing down. https://ourworldindata.org/grapher/life-expectancy-at-age-10...
You have to run the 2.x series to interoperate with older "classic" Macs. Nearly everything these days packages the 3.x series and thus only works with more recent OS X clients.

I appreciate that you are looking at this with a charitable eye. There's a lot to be said for that. And yet, when someone words their heuristics in such absolute and categorical fashion, they stop sounding like heuristics and start sounding like moral ultimatums; which are anti-heuristic.

I, too, make lists of heuristics. And one way I test them is to ask "how could this be completely wrong? Is this really what I mean?" The common idea of negotiation is the process of coming to an agreement by each side being willing to give up something they want (at least in principle) in order to achieve something else they do want. It seems to me that collaboration involves a great deal of negotiation. So, is the OP talking about BAD negotiation? Then say so.
Perhaps if bags are made from new material, but it's not difficult to sew a bag out of old clothes, say, or other fabric that would otherwise end up in a landfill. In any case, the bag you already have is almost certainly better than a new, disposable one.
The 68k Macs are < 60MHz and the early PowerPCs were not a lot faster. Your 2014 laptop will run circles around them doing just about anything.

Hmmm, that is interesting. I wonder if the items were all in different fulfillment centers so when you ordered them separate they opted to send them separate instead of combining. Not sure how Amazon figures out that logic but I have definitely had many orders get combined. It doesn't always happen, but it's pretty frequent.

This Elon cult narrative doesn’t make much sense to me. In SV, tech has been changing so rapidly that a “Chairman Steve” or “Chairman Bill” approach makes some sense. It provides the pointer-space continuity non-IT business types need to fit the orders-of-magnitude changes of IT into their brains. Even in IT, on either end of the expertise spectrum, nobody cared who ran the show, neither the gormless grandparent nor the IT researcher…at least not in my era.

A long-legacy, strict liability business like autos? Henry Ford was a long time ago. Iacocca was a US business hero, not a tech hero. Tens of millions of consumers have a deep hands-on experience base with autos, automotive tech changes much more slowly, we’ve moved away from the disposable era in cars, and bugs lead to actual bloody gory deaths you see on the news.

Those all argue against a celebrity CEO as a business requirement for autos, unless s/he is on-call to pick me up and tow my car if it fails. Star Trek teleports…that’s another story.
What if JavaScript had a synchronous async flavor?
I don't understand why they had the asterisk with text at the bottom of the article. Was that supposed to be unsettling? Some kind of trying to spare the reader of something that was not even that bad? You see way, way worse on television every day.

you do understand how inflation works right? If all prices raise then the purchasing power of the person on Min Wage stays the same thus their situation did not actually improve any.

Further Inflation has the common effect of hurting the lower and middle classes the worst and increasing wealth disparity. There is multiple ways this occurs but one thing that is trending of late is that as the wage floor is raising you are not seeing the same levels of raise in other area's of income until you get into the top 10% or higher of wage earners. Today we are seeing inflation outstrip wages in many skilled labor categories.

It just occurred to me while reading this comment that people born after Intel CPUs mostly leveled out perfwise are probably peers now. That realization came hard, it came fast, and I wasn’t ready to live with that knowledge by a long shot.

It was a long, long road to your 2014 laptop, friend. There was a time when division was a luxury, and desperate folk offered their firstborn for forbidden tricks to compute inverse square root. Elliptic curve, you say? You mean floating point math? Whoo-ee!
I find it a fascinating case study that some of the company’s most anticipated releases are just re releases: Diablo 2 resurrected, WoW classic, Warcraft 3 reforged. Death by a thousand lapses in game quality and you get a lot of hype about refurbished old games. Some of it is rose covered nostalgia but IMO there’s been a sea change in game design since the advent of the attention economy, pay to progress, micro transactions, etc
Yeah but we read 100% fewer of them.
You're cherry-picking your data. If you pick any two points on a line, you can build a quadratic curve that meets those points, but doesn't match the rest of the line. Not to mention that in this case while the line is somewhat close to 2.5k, 400,000 actually has a plotted point at about 3k.

Power7+ came out in 2012 which was the first gen of Power CPUs to include AES acceleration. [1]

The most powerful Power Macs with non Intel CPUs were discontinued in 2006. (G5, released 2003.) [2]

Your laptop from 2014 was already running at LEAST a 64bit CPU and likely has AES instructions as they were introduced in 2010 [3]

So even if your laptop from 2014 onward didn't include AES instructions like some Intel Atom/Celeron/Pentium models... (Acer C720P Chromebook, for example came out in 2014 and has a Intel Celeron 2955U [4] and [5]) It was still an architecture that is/was ELEVEN YEARS NEWER. A Celeron 2955U is roughly equivalent in performance to a Core 2 Duo E4700 or an AMD Athlon 64 x2 5200+ ... which is still quite ahead of a PowerMac G5. [6] and [7]

TLDR: Time marches on and along with cpu improvements come instructions and other benefits not immediately visible to the end user.

Try using your old 2003-era system to generate keys again and tell us how fun it is. Bonus if you try it on a Pre-2000 era Performa Mac as a user typically had with SystemOS 7, 8 and 9. Those ran at 16 to 66mhz. [8]

For reference, SystemOS 7 came out in 1991. [9] OS8 came out in 1997. [10] And OS9 came out in 1999. [11]

The CPUs inside the Performa Macs running System 7, OS8 and OS9, at best, can be compared to the 486s on the Intel side. Not even Pentium level. This places the architecture at LEAST a dozen architecture generations behind what you're generating keys on. This means if the CPUs we're looking at here were aged up, your laptop is starting first or second grade while the actual CPUs of the time are now finishing their masters' degrees with a kid or two on the way.

Rather than naively using your extremely modern in comparison 'crappy laptop' cpu as a reference point, perhaps you should use something more typical from the time these OSes were considered relevant.

TLDR to the TLDR: Get off my lawn.

Are Good Ideas Getting Harder to Find?
This melting is making deep crevasses and various paths to the rock or sea below. This riddles the overlying rock with large weak zones. Have they observed any block collapses? It is even possible for large areas to slide off the cap if the lock-to the underlying rock base shears and creates a crumbling mass of slush on which one of these zones can slide?.
Such a zone into the sea could create a tsunami. If this fragmentation began, the integrity could collapse and what was felt to be a 100-200 year or more meltoff be far far faster, as the sea rose it would accelerate the process.
This is a wonderful resource, looking forward to exploring.
The biggest loss to society from this change arises from how the billions of dollars of revenue from advertising is spent.

Old media used to plough the money into investigative journalism and local news. New media doesn't do that, which is why our current crop of "leaders" in politics are drawn from celebrity culture and thrive on ignorance.
If what we are talking about is energy use, then we are probably wasting our time talking about bags, because the goods the bags are carrying probably take an order of magnitude more energy to generate. Refuse and energy consumption are separate but related problems.
It speaks to executive disfunction -- an inability to currate and fund a long-term creative pipeline, instead focusing on short-term revenue generators.

I am not from a dataviz background but I do have a question around the decision to use Gitea (other than self-hosted) . Would it be a better use of your time to use something like GitHub or was there something Gitea offers that is so valuable?
After about the 20th time in my life I moved heavy boxes of books from one apartment to another, I gave up on books as physical objects.

These days, I keep only the few books that are better served in print form (e.g. references, cookbooks, art anthologies), or that are rare/out of print. Everything else I get rid of immediately after reading, or read only a Kindle. It's very similar to my philosophy for furniture: I refuse to possess an object if I am not going to use it and/or draw direct pleasure from that specific object on a regular basis. Individual books rarely make the cut.

For 95% of the stuff I read (novels, pop non-fiction, etc.), I never even buy a physical copy of a book. Books have a huge parasitic cost. I'd rather have a clean living space and easy moves. For me, the mental benefit of just not seeing clutter is hugely beneficial.
This is very common in the entertainment industry. If you think the story of Viacom and CBS is crazy, look up the story of the Victor Talking Machine Company and its many descendants and “relatives”, including RCA, HMV, JVC, EMI, Capitol Records and many others.
I don't think the universe has reached some kind of natural ceiling on unhappy customers so in terms of startups, no. Plenty of unhappy customers out there!
I am familiar with Simpson’s Paradox but I carefully read your linked article anyway and it truely is enraging to me when statistics is twisted to lie to people. I totally agree there is a very large amount of really bad headlines and non-expert pundit conclusions from right wing media. And it is harmful. I wish more people took the time to understand what statistics are actually saying. Unfortunately I think some portion of the population might just be incapable of properly understanding stats, it really is a hard and tricky subject.

That said, I don’t think the data from the OP’s CDC article is a case of Simpson’s paradox. The quoted statistic in the CDC article is that 74% of infected people were vaccinated. I am comparing that to the vaccination rate in MA of 69% (also from the article). The denominator in one stat is a strict subset of the denominator of the second stat. Simpson’s paradox requires disjoint denominators.

So that being the case, I would still like for actual experts to follow up on this data and come to some conclusion.
Damn. When you put it this way it seems pretty hopeless.
> Are you unfamiliar with the concept of tokenism?

Just feels like there's a bit of goalpost-moving in this subthread. The poster farther up was annoyed that there are shows where seemingly all the characters have some non-cis-straight-white characteristic to them. And now you're talking about nearly the opposite, all-cis-straight-white casts except for a token something-else.

Which is it, eh? If y'all want to disingenuously whine about more diversity in casting, at least get your stories straight...
My current method of learning new languages/frameworks is to read the theory (documentation/book) and write questions as I read. Then, I would try to apply the concept (exercise/project). The next day, I would start by reading the questions I wrote. If I know the answer, I just quickly answer it in my head and move on to the next question. If I don't know the answer, I would look it up.
Also do add some sort of tally mark next to questions you have successfully answered so that you don't have to keep reading them each day as your list of questions grows (though it might be worth answering a few times to commit it to long term memory).

I think this incorporates spaced repetition and active recall well enough while not being entirely theoretical.
