> It's thin for a highly modular laptop, but I would not consider it to be thin by current manufacturing trends.

Does anyone in the target audience actually care? I sure don't. My current laptop is ~50% thicker than this and could easily fit twice in my laptop bags. Because in reality it doesn't matter how thin that thing is, you'll still also carry the charger and 5 adapters with you.

Then again I never really understood this constant obsession with the thickness and weight of laptops and smartphones everywhere. In my personal experience better numbers in those two categories usually mean higher price for lower performance and a broken irrepairable device after 2-3 years.

> Does anyone have any idea how the various Linux bistro support is on this device?

Apparently everything works out of the box except the fingerprint sensor.

Laptop hardware support isn't that bad nowadays as long as you avoid the garbage from NVidia. Some distros are able to handle the NVidia Optimus cards though, just a few years ago it meant either no graphics driver or a blank screen after installation.
It's because while React offers a decent standard for declaring components, there is no standard for building an application with React as the rendering layer. I mean I've got an `api.ts` file somewhere with a TODO that says "I should probably split up API requests and business logic", but that's all handcrafted guesswork.

Angular, for all its flaws and the major mistake that was announcing Angular 2 to be a rewrite etc causing a big exodus, at least had an Opinion on how to build an application end to end.

> he model is supposed to be a reliable representation of reality that has acceptable accuracy within predetermined operational limits.

This is the problem. That is NOT what ML models are supposed to be outside of newspaper articles and research grant proposals.

ML models interpolate between co-occurrences; that is all they do. Representations of reality are not interpolations between statistical co-occurances -- that is the furthest thing from what they are.

Reality has a counter-factual (ie., modal) structure, causal structure, generative structure (etc.) and much more.

You end up comparing whole fruits to “juice form”.

I’m not sure if that’s a typo, as the question is related to the difference between whole fruits and smoothies, and that’s also how your argument starts out.
But that’s a different argument. The point was that being in the porn industry was being a pariah. This simply is not the case and the porn industry is huge.

I think it’s a skill that’s possible to get better at, but getting better at it requires some misery (trying, failing, being uncomfortable, making social mistakes)

Being able to read the social situation is a prerequisite so if you’re truly good at that then it’s possible to improve.

I think it’s a mixture of taking a genuine interest in other people, being good at story telling, and being able to gauge the interest of others in what you’re talking about. There’s also a lot to good delivery (part of good story telling) - watching good stand up comedy you can see this in action.

It also helps to be doing or learning things that make for good story telling too.

Perhaps a reasonable way would be to have a memfd_secret() flag which requests "kill this process if you're going to hibernate".

Absorbing a large amount of glucose at once may be quite bad, but does not cause liver disease.

In particular, large excursions of blood sugar and insulin can cause down-regulation of insulin receptors resulting in insulin resistance, called type-2 diabetes. (BTW, some people can treat this with cinnamon. For others, enough cinnamon would cause even worse problems.)

You can recover from type-2 diabetes in reasonable time by cutting sugar and refined starch (e.g. white flour, white rice) from the diet. It is actually quite easy to do this if you cook for yourself, and surprisingly easy to learn to cook for yourself. It is most fun purely from-scratch, and no more work, and tastier. Start to think of fast-food as not really any sort of food at all.

Many people nowadays seem to find their way to cooking for themselves with an electric pressure cooker, because it is so fast.
Why waste a resource like that and throw them in prison when you have compromising material? That would be stupid. Epstein was probably a high society pimp and there probably was enough evidence for convictions. That wouldn't have happened if it didn't get public.

The bystander effect question that you mention was worded pretty poorly. The first sentence implied that the total probability is lower when there's more bystanders (which is definitely false in sufficiently large numbers), then in the second sentence their wording switches to marginal probability, which is correct. I of course knew what they meant, and answered correctly. But there were a handful of somewhat ambiguous questions like that. A handful I legitimately didn't know, such as whether people remember the last argument the best. 34/40.

> But the stateless form of man is that of small networks of aligned people, and therein lies the check and balance.

I don't think that will work, either. A company like Intel couldn't exist based on small networks. It requires massive scale.

Back in the 70's the car manufacturers British Leyland was handed over to the unions. They abolished management and made decisions collectively. In the end, they realised that that kind of system couldn't work, and brought in management.

Checks and balances may work to some extent. Power structures usually emerge. There's always going to be an elite class.

I believe it's a culture thing. The more wealthy the average citizen becomes, the less they need to share with others. And once you're starting to get used to having everything to yourself on-demand, it becomes difficult to accept that in an arcade, you might have to wait for someone else to finish playing before it's your turn.

"Bias" here is being used in so many different ways. "Bias" here isnt statistical bias. It is prejudice.

The "algorithm" doesnt capture the semantics of the data, and so introduces moral bias regardless of any statistical bias within the dataset.

Eg., consider training an NLP system on black rights literature. Negative words co-occur with racial terms -- the semantic association is one of "black people opposing hatred" NOT "black people COMEWITH hatred".

Fyi, she’s the same woman whose apartment complex was apparently built on toxic waste that made her sick (only her), yet noone could measure any harmful substance in her apartment, the authorities couldn’t help and tried to cover it up. [1]

It seems strange that she happens to be also the victim of organized workplace harrasment at Apple. And again, the authorities (internal Employee Relations) refused to help, and tried to cover it up…?

Either she’s the most unlucky person… or maybe it’s all in her head? Take a look at her website documenting her “ordeals” at Apple [2] To me, it looks like the scrapbook of a paranoid schizophrenic who meticulously collects “evidence” on their “gangstalking”… Just look at this tweet [3] where she talks about fighting Apple, Northrop Grumman (!) and the Irvine Company, and tell me with a straight face that she’s not a wacko.

That 100% something else. Industrial robots are almost allways in a cage for safety. I know there are 'cobots' now, but I just never saw one, except in showcases. Industrial robots just do a fixed task and are dumber than a slice bread. Industrial robots are super heavy for what they can lift. Even they are very efficient with energy, they are still allways on main grid / no batteries.

The huge task is anyway not to build a robot. The huge part is to make the robot (or any device) smarter than a slice bread.
Yeah, I don’t have that answer, of course. But nothing prevents them from changing that secondary algorithm yearly, or at whatever rate the CSAM database owners would tolerate full rehashing, or chaining together multiple hashes. They can literally tune it to whatever arbitrary false positive rate they want. Although, not knowing any better, I would guess that they would just use Microsoft’s PhotoDNA hash unchanged, and just keep it under wraps, since I think that’s what they already use for iCloud email attachment scanning. PhotoDNA just does a scaled down, black and white edge/intensity gradient comparison, and not a neural net feature detection. I would think using a completely different technology would make the pair of algorithms extremely robust taken together, but that’s not my field.
Also important to point out that the word bias has a very specific meaning in the context of statistics and machine learning and it isn't just a synonym for discrimination or something of that sort - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bias%E2%80%93variance_tradeoff

You can also see the difficulty of loose coupling when people transition from a monolith to microservices. What used to be a function call is now a network request that can fail in all sorts of interesting ways.
>Hypothetical system.

Right!

>Yes, a lot of comments have addressed something that isn't happening.

No, and the confusion lies in the tense, "isn't" vs. "won't". A lot of comments have addressed a lack of trust that such a scenario won't happen.
The most challenging part in the beginning is finding a good partner bank.

Once you found a banking partner, you need to win trust of your potential customers, as customers only want to work with trusted financial entities even when you are giving credit.

Once the above two issues are sorted, the compliance issues drown fintech startups. There is always something new one needs to do every month.

Is that quote really your smoking gun evidence that Rogan is Republican or Republican-supporting? Try and replace the names with people who don't have a political charge attached, and try to honestly assess whether it's such an outrageous thing to say.

He didn't say he would vote Trump and there's no evidence that he did. He was simply commenting that Biden was in decline, which was and is increasingly there for everyone to observe, and is highly concerning for a person who holds the most powerful office in the world.

You can disagree that his cognitive impairment disqualifies him from being president, fine, but to make that kind of comment is just not deserving of the outrage, and clearly the media whipped it up and perpetuated it in order to keep us all clicking and arguing.

As long as there is an expectation of content providers doing porn, most content creators will shy away of being part of the platform. Their own response to the news published by Bloomberg includes this line:

>These changes are to comply with the requests of our banking partners and payout providers.[1]

I do think OnlyFans has a lot of potential with the features it offers: It combines the core functionality important for content creators of youtube, instagram and patreon. That is, except for discovery, which is notoriously bad.

> Obligatory reminder that there's an inherent tradeoff between bias and variance in any ML architecture.

It should also be stressed that in this context "bias" is a kin to interpolating between data points where resolution in the training set is relatively low, thus leads to a simpler model that does not exactly match the test set.

What this implies is that this "bias" does not reflect a preference, let alone an intention to favour one group over another. It just means that a combination of the test set being too sparse or with too few dimensions, the choice of model being too inflexible, and the problem domain having too much uncertainty at that resolution.

Critics may single out the model, but the core of the problem actually lies on the data and the problem domain.
Energy storage is one of the most problematic aspects. These guys will need to be heavy to be useful for more than a couple of minutes. This creates additional challenges (like quickly moving toddlers). I bet early adopters will be people without small kids.
I had an interesting experience with FTB... I returned to WA without changing jobs, after working in CA and getting some ISOs. The way it works is that you separate the income from the ISOs that don't meet holding reqs proportionally between certain dates. I.e. you pay CA taxes on the fraction of "wage" income earned in CA vs another state; and no CA taxes on the other portion, attributable to that other state. However, there's no form for that; so, for a few years I'd do the math in Excel, and then send FTB a form that looks like "here's my total income, and I pinkie swear this (much smaller) random-looking number is my CA income".

What's interesting is sometimes I was too lazy to do proper math for some small sale transactions that were few days apart, so I'd round it in favor of FTB. And every year FTB would charge me as expected, and then send me a check for $20, $50 or whatever, presumably because of that.

In short, I'm pretty sure FTB knows everything about you and your CA taxes :)

Also based on reading the publications myself (disclaimer: IANAL), I'm pretty sure unless you actually work/live in CA, or have delayed income based in CA, you are not generally supposed to pay CA taxes.
It’s cool knowing that this was developed in Melbourne. I still feel like it’s a little city in little Australia, but I know there’s some crazy talent in town. Thanks for you hard work!

Regarding VSTs in a video editor: for doing any dialogue work (eq, compression, de essing) would be some use cases I have (I use some VSTs in FCPx). Also for working with music (same eq, compression, gating/ducking). Not having to bounce the audio through a DAW of some sort to just get it to sound right is a huge productivity boost.
Ya, the overloading of 'bias' is confusing.

> Eg., consider training an NLP system on black rights literature. Negative words co-occur with racial terms -- the semantic association is one of "black people opposing hatred" NOT "black people COMEWITH hatred".

I agree that certain NLP models might learn an association like that, but that's a consequence of the pairing of model and data. The model itself does not encode a racial prejudice, it's simply poorly suited to the dataset in this context.
Drawing. The simple ability to represent accurately anything is of incredible help in any situation where language is a barrier (either when not speaking it, or to explain something in a better or more visual way than language can). It is a very useful communication skill.

> Models are not neutral. All models encode inbuilt priors reflecting some inherent bias. In fact, absent that bias a model would have little to no generalizability beyond its training set!

Yes, but those structural priors have nothing to do with race, gender, or any other protected attribute.
That has nothing to do with Only Fans, though. I wish we could have a grown-up discussion without someone shutting it down with “but trafficking” (quite often from a right-wing nutter who does not give a fig about the people in question, though I am not saying that you are). Trafficking and exploitation are bad, but it’s not unique to porn, and you can have porn without it.

3) hire people

4) actually have them work on more incremental stuff (e.g. launch provider services)

5) profit

I interviewed with them (I knew a few people there) and had an interesting half-hour discussion with Mr Wardley about the implications of wide-spread availability of 3D printers (he had a 3D printed model of an XBOX controller) - little did we know it would be nearly another decade before they were becoming widely available.
