a google search turns up some thorough summaries. I would best sum it up with “The most common error made in communication is incorrectly assuming that it has occurred”.
Communication is a skill that I see mostly taken for granted once people have a functional level, but it goes deep. It’s tied up with your self awareness, blind spots, etc. and so debugging your speaking and listening skills is a lifelong thing. These books lay out all the layers of assumption, bias, and miscommunication that happen by default in most conversations, and how to recognize them and take charge of a conversation and fix them.
> When I got heavily into programming, nobody I knew had the faintest idea of what it was or what I was doing. I couldn’t be bothered, because I was too busy programming.

That's certainly typical for fledging hackers in 'larval stage', but many people would disagree that this suffices for calling oneself a hacker as a non-novice professional. Some contact, if perhaps only fleeting, with a community of fellow coders and tinkerers would seem to be required for that.

Thanks for elaborating on all the perks, but frankly your posts misses the most important bit of info, namely the salary ranges. I don't care about vacations or relocation package if the salary is mediocre and I have to work there until I'm old (i.e. if they don't pay enough for me to save money and retire early/earlish).
I think the most "hard" problem in such apps is solving conflicts and reliable background sync. Beorg uses iCloud versioning since some time. Before it was implemented, it was a bloody mess - my org files would get conflicts on daily basis so that I've mostly used it only for reading org files.

Yes, more data will help. More data did help with all other Deep Learning problems, from Go to speech synthesis. GPT-3 is orders of magnitude better than GPT-2 because it has more data.

It's really Deep Learning 101.

Furthermore, it's a non-sequitur of an argument.

Dojo is generic neural network training chip. It can be used to speed up any and all Deep Learning problems. Self driving is one such problem.

During AI Day Tesla also presented, in depth, the architecture of the Deep Learning network they use.

If you have a critique of their approach or can show how a competitor's approach is better, then do share with the class. If you don't it's just lazy "Tesla bad because they solved a problem that no-one else solved"

In my experience, SUV drivers are much more likely to be completely crazy.

Example: when I lived in NYC, I was walking across an intersection, with the light, an SUV going through the red light - very slowly - knocked me down (because I wasn't looking at him), and kept going!

I got up, yelled, "Hey, you hit me!" but the SUV continued forcing its way through the pedestrians, against the light. I thumped on the hood, and the man opened the door, leaving his car to block traffic, and chased me across Eighth Ave, till I luckily found some police officers, who of course refused to do anything even when I pointed out his SUV parked in the middle of the street, and all the witnesses watching.

The man was literally insane. Drool fell from his mouth as he chased me.

I have seen similar things where I wasn't the target.

I don't think boys were generally encouraged to get into programming. A friend of mine who was openly into computers was ridiculed by the whole school. To this day parents are suspicious of "screen time", I am constantly fighting my wife to let her allow my son use the computer. There were specific jokes about people in Engineering at university, as to them being all male and never getting laid.

Schools started to have "computer rooms" but teachers were not well qualified to use them or to teach students about their use.

My male friends who were into computers would have loved it if girls were interested in that. They just weren't, unless they needed help with their homework or something.

In my Maths degree women did get a lot of encouragement and people are always eager to help. For example a friend of mine received a stipend for her achievements after the first year of study. By her own admission she wasn't the most brilliant student, although at least I think she was very "straight" (always doing her homework, always studying in time for tests, and so on). Only with hindsight did I realise that she probably got the stipend because she was a woman (to generally encourage women in Maths perhaps).

I hope you managed to communicate that you needed it to be able to independently verify that this number belonged to the purported caller. Eg, if it's from your "credit card company", the number should show up on the credit card company's website.

> My landlord did this. In July, I learned that he had decided he wanted to sell my townhouse, and wanted me out. I was fortunate enough to find a place to buy that reduced my commute to my son's school, but it was pretty nerve wracking

That's why in France it's illegal to do that. If you have a lease, and the landlord wants to sell, they have to propose to you first, and then last ( at the same price as with the potential buyer); the new landlord can't evict you ( your lease is sold alongside the "land"). And if they want to not renew your lease, you have to be notified well in advance.
Yeah. I was like who thought this was a great idea.
This is why usually these trigger-passwords are just a variation suffix away. If your real password was 123456 + Ok a system like that would trigger if you e.g. append a certain sign to it: 123451 + Ok. So you don't have to remember a different password, you just have to remember the one character or button that makes it call security.

This seems like a "It's too obvious" defense. I tend to think that very obvious explanations are usually right. Besides, contrary to the fraud being too obvious, it went undetected for a decade.

From what I can tell the data was faked by Ariely or the insurance company. Why would the insurance company fake data to support Ariely's hypothesis? What do they gain from that? Presumably, the insurance company is trying to find interventions to make customers behave more honestly - faking data to get spurious answers seems counter productive.

Ariely on the other hand has clear benefits from faking the data. He has the means, motive, and opportunity. On top of that, there's no other plausible suspect.

> They will certainly draw users away from Linux

And the beauty of non commercial software is that we don't actually have to care about that. If people choose performance increase over freedom, you can't really chose for them.

Now I'm not saying that we should not port free software to the M1. I'm saying that the good reason to do so is because the people porting it want to have it there, rather than thinking in term of user retention.

I think hackers call themselves hackers. Linus describes himself as a hacker unless he’s talking to the press. In which case he uses the term programmer as they do not understand the term and it only leads to confusion.

Ah, sorry, I didn't intend that it should address this as "Here's why it's different to Rust" but rather, "Here's a surprising thing about what it does/ doesn't do in your program" and Rust offers a contrast to show this isn't just "But that's how computers work".

As you see from the standard library concepts the emphasis is on semantic claims like "fully ordered" but this feature does not actually provide semantics and I think that's a trap programmers would be likely to fall into.
If that's true, then lockdowns aren't a valid answer either.

And on the side of not having lockdowns you'll find things that are much worse than some assumed percentage loss of happiness: people dying in total isolation despite not being sick, people dying of medical care that was withheld because they were too afraid to go to the hospital, a generation whose growth was stunted by lack of education and simple lack of human contact (according to one study, babies during the pandemic had a 22% lower IQ than babies from other years [1]), etc. We have done incredible damage to ourselves.

At the beginning of the pandemic this was justified, since we didn't know if this was going to be a mild case of the sniffles or some kind of air-transmissible ebola. Once we knew it was much closer to the first than to the second, however, we should have adjusted our policies, and we never did. I'm terrified that in the coming months we might see a return to lockdowns, as cases will inevitably rise again, and our politicians know only one answer.

I know an elderly couple that literally hasn't left their house, nor received any visitors other than for things like grocery deliveries, since the beginning of the pandemic. Considering how terrified they now are of the outside world, they will live out their lives in a self-chosen prison cell. They are both fully vaccinated (doctor came to their house for it), but refuse to step outside. Is that life?

As another poster here put it so eloquently: life shouldn't be treated as nothing other than a transmission vector for the virus.

How would you feel about a government policy where people are killed two years before their estimated 'normal' date of death, in order to spare society the massive medical cost of the last few years of living? Evil, right?

How do you feel about a policy where those two years are also taken by the government, but in the middle of your life? Sure, we weren't actually killed; we were allowed to keep producing. The only thing that was taken from us were all the things that made life worth living...

What worries me the most about these comments is: 1) how many software developers that do not understand how licenses and copyright work 2) how many software developers that feel entitled to use someone else's code and default to feeling offended when they feel they've been mislead 3) how many software developers that are not focusing on the most important thing, which is how embarrassed you should be that you imported this code in your codebase to begin with.

> The author recounts three or four occasions when they did some programming at school. They're quite right - that isn't being a "hacker".

It's a difficult assessment, because OP seems like they had some spontaneous appreciation for 'hack value', in that they chose to go well beyond the requirements of their LOGO assignment. Ultimately, though, OP was unable to join a supportive community of hackers, and this stunted their intellectual growth and left them with a dislike for the very idea of becoming a hacker. I don't think this has much to do with OP being female; it's quite clear that OP was badly taught, at a time when coding was far less regarded than today.

I don't think that choice was available. If you let the virus spread unchecked then people would have been locking themselves down.

First look - UI:

1. After hitting search there's no indication of activity (while loading. Page remains empty and unresponsive for a while.

2. When updating the search box, [enter] does not work.

3. There is no visual feedback between the list of specialists and the map, so there is no (easy) way to see where a specialist resides.

App:

1. I'd like to see more transparently which specialist maps to what condition (in search results). The "specialty" button seeems a bit non-informative.

2. Why can't I also search for a specialist field directly?

3. Having a DOI included with the medicals specialist's data will make it easier to find more info about the specialist.

It depends on what you are modelling. If you're modelling human populations and behavior, they may become loaded with extreme political assumptions embedded in the model; and not all of those will be wiped out by the scientific method.

The idea was to put a rocker switch on the side, to rock between "dot" and "dash", and then use Morse code. To "read" Morse, the phone could vibrate, or at least decode it as text to read. You could text without walking into a tree (which I have done.)

The graphics one was pretty straight forward. Instead of dividing up the picture into rectangles, divide it up into triangles. Set a color for each triangle based on an average of the color pixels in it. Then, smoothly shade the rendering of the triangle based on the colors at each vertex. This will prevent any banding or that ugly blockiness. The number and placement of the vertices depends on the where the complexity in the image is, and of course would be adjustable.

The browser one is to have the browser rendering prioritize where the mouse cursor is. Great for slow connections.
