Eating enough vegetables has many good effects, including providing an adequate quantity of potassium.

Eating too little salt is as dangerous as eating too much salt. The usual recommendation is to eat about 4 to 5 grams of salt per day.

The salt consumption can be a problem when instead of cooking your food with known quantities of salt you buy already processed food, which almost always contains excessive quantities of salt and sugar, because these are very cheap ingredients, which not only reduce the production cost, but they also improve the taste.

So for those buying already prepared food, the normal risk is to eat too much salt. Those who make their own food, must also take care to not eat too little salt.
The thing about shape is that it's a feature of visual syntax. A visual language where shapes are used to distinguish different primitive types is structurally no different from a toy BASIC where each type is given its own sigil character (!#$& etc.). We moved away from this use of sigils because it made it harder to abstract away from primitive types. I can see Snap! developers making the same choice.

As soon as an unidentified attacker has unsupervised access to a piece of hardware it's game over. An exploit that uses persistence features like embedding itself into the BIOS/UEFI firmware (see e.g. https://www.coresecurity.com/core-labs/articles/the-bios-emb...) can be very hard to get rid of - so hard that it's likely easier to dispose of the machines entirely.

Whether working in the office is preferable or even necessary is going to come down to individual teams, not whole companies. The employers who figure that out quickly will do well out of the current labour shortage. Any business insisting on 100% in office or 100% remote is limiting themselves to a subset of the eligible workforce, so it'll be interesting to see how quickly they get out-competed.
> It tests whether students can remain unintimidated in the face of difficult-looking questions.

That's a very good goal. But for this problem, your success depends on whether you chose the same strategy that the teacher cherry-picked prices for - or just got lucky that another strategy happened to work.

"Intuition" implies that the student somehow understands the structure of the problem, but the prices in the problem could be adjusted ever so slightly in such a way that the strategy you outline would lead nowhere at all.

The only possible intuition to be found here is realizing that the only way to solve the problem is to throw shit on the wall until something sticks.

I almost never recommend linux. People will have problems regardless of the OS, they will hardly find help to solve their problems if they are using linux. Then someone will arrive and blame linux for the problem and then, the user form now on will avoid and bad mouth it.

These days I only recommend linux for people I know they can handle it AND will have some fun learning how to handle it. Or on the "gramma" computer case where usage scenario is very well defined.

But I still find it fun that people get impressed about how it is possible to efficiently use the computer. For example, copying a file to/from a keychain and unmounting it with a single command and with just a few more touches on the keyboard I can open and start editing the file. For people who expect intrusive warnings when an usb drive is plugged in and lots of clicks to find and copy files, doing all that with a few keystrokes is impressive.

Another trick I use to impress more seasoned users and even developers is the cycle of "apt-get build-dep", "apt-get source", configure, compile and run. People get so impressed that they consider start using linux.

But yes, if you really like it, you'll find people for whom you can recommend it.

I can’t read it due to the paywall but I heard it talked about on a podcast. It is one of the dumbest papers I could imagine. The conclusion is things like “you add 17 minutes to your life every cup of broccoli you eat” and “you lose 32 minutes every cheeseburger you eat”. Obviously that kind of data is ridiculous and can’t apply to any individual, human lives are never that simple.
There’s definitely value in a shared driver pool but it does not need to come hand in hand with a consumer facing marketplace. Doordash offer access to their driver pool for orders placed through any channel (Doordash Drive), Uber offers on-demand drivers in a similar way. Companies like Stuart solely offer a B2B last mile delivery service with their pool of drivers.

This isn’t new either — DPD, UPS, DHL have all offered a shared delivery network (for retail) without anyone expecting that anything that is delivered by DHL must be ordered via DHL.com.

Then you have a limited cross section of people that you talk to, and it seems they come from a mono culture.

From the people I talked to it is mixed with the majority wanting no more than 3 days, with most going for 2 days at home the rest in the office. The Hybrid model...

The amount of decisions, and knowledge that is passed around in a given office with just idle in person chats in the hallways or inpromptu meetings pretty large in many organizations, this everyday knowledge transfer does not happen in WFH, or happens less often, this can lead to things being missed, people being left out of the loop, etc.

Also it really depends on if a person a location in their home that can dedicate to an Office, that can be door closed off for meetings, and have no / limited interruptions.

I know a few people that do not have a spare room or other space to dedicate to that, so WFH for them is using the Kitchen table, or a desk in the living room that is not ideal... People like this generally prefer to be in the office.
Computer Vision is the one domain where ML (and neural networks in particular) is the undisputed king. Unless you're in an embedded application where you can't use neural networks in which case you might want to go with handcrafted features to trade-off accuracy for speed/compute-efficiency.

With regards to the size of your dataset, there's no hard rules it depends on the complexity of the task. Problems with a high number of classes are among the more difficult ones, 100 samples per class might be enough or it might not . The only way to know for sure it to try and see if you reach a performance that's acceptable for your application.

I recommend the Pytorch framework, it's coherent, easy to use and well documented (both the API reference and the examples available on SO and throughout the net). Your problem is similar to imagenet (assuming you want to detect the presence of a class and not its position, in which case it's a different problem.) so you can try to run one of the pytorch tutorials and see how well it does. The only difference is you want to detect multiple classes in one single image so you'll have to adjust your output layer and loss potentially but the network itself could remain the same. You also might want to look into doing transfer learning with a pretrained imagenet network to speed-up the training.
>In all cases, it's very unlikely that the cost of maintenance will ever exceed the value of a brand new car.

If this is true, why is the average age of cars in the US only around a decade? If it really is more economical to constantly repair old cars, you'd expect the average car age to be in the decades.

>If it ever does, it sure is a demonstration of planned obsolescence (voluntary bad engineering to push sales).

AFAIK cars have gotten more reliable in the past few decades, not less.
May be more people measure their blood pressure now? I never cared about it. This year when getting COVID vaccine doctor checked my pressure and it was higher than normal. If not for COVID, I wouldn’t even know about it. Might be an interesting correlation, if doctors check blood pressure before vaccination in other countries.
Wouldn’t it be fair to consider a causally disconnected (relative to us) place to be another universe, at least in layman terms? After all, it is expected in a couple trillion years that nothing outside the local group will be observable.

Who knows how much “disconnected universe” there is. Unless that is somehow known, which seems difficult since it is by definition causally disconnected.

The API docs' example URLs can't be copied and pasted, as "%20" gets inserted. I'm probably not the target audience for the API, but it's a neat idea. I think people will end up with images described with tons of magic numbers that relate to each other in invisible ways and become unmodifiable and unmaintainable. Variables might help, as might relative positioning and sizing of elements.

Some feedback on the Designer:

The size setting dropdown is quite strange. Choices of unfamiliar destinations don't seem to make sense, and some of the things that do seem familiar come out an unexpected size and shape (e.g. "infographic"). The pixel sizes are clearer, but better would be handles on the canvas that can be dragged. There's also a typo: "Choose form a list of sizes".

Circles don't get resized? I can drag handles to make the apparent bounding box bigger, but the circle doesn't change: https://imgur.com/a/KhYluKj. Other shapes seem okay. Chrome 89 on Linux.

The tutorial walkthrough pops up every time I go to the designer, even though I've been right through it.
> If you are an autodidact, then the entire point of college would be the degree

One of the most annoying parts of getting a degree was doing mandatory classes for stuff I had no interest in whatsoever, but it was core curriculum. Maybe they just couldn’t be bothered to complete the course? Tangentially, this is one of the biggest signals a degree gives to to employers: that you’re the type of person that will do things to completion, even if you don’t enjoy it or find it interesting. That’s a very good character trait in a work environment.
Flo Control (2000)
Actual economist here. Not a behavioral economist but some of my good friends are!

- Priming is social psychology, not behavioral economics. Most behavioralists I know are openly scornful of priming studies, which as the author correctly notes often do not replicate. (Leading example of the kind of thing behavioralists think is BS: “prime people with words like ‘Florida’ or ‘retired’ and they will walk more slowly.”). That kind of study rarely if ever published in Econ journals.

- For his other claim that “Most behavioral interventions don’t replicate,” I would say that most behavioral economists don’t study or design interventions! Much of their work is experimental in nature and focuses on developing more realistic decision-theoretic mathematical models of choice which can be applied in economic modeling outside the lab.

What the author actually has in mind is not contemporary behavioral economics, but rather a subset of social psychology.

Those results used to receive reasonably wide media coverage and were taught to MBAs (generally not by the economists!), but starting around 2010 a bunch of very serious critiques of their statistical methods were raised which undermined confidence in the entire enterprise.
Table sugar has a glycemic index of 65. Maple sugar's is 54. Not a huge difference but if sweeteners are important to you, maybe every bit counts.
The answer is, "it depends". My recommendation would be to just start trying. What you describe sounds like you could train it in a couple of days. Grab an off-the-shelf resnet and just see what happens. This is a well-studied problem, you can just look at papers that train on imagenet, and then tweak their approaches.
The problem of finding all the subsets whose value exceeds the limit isn’t necessarily any easier than finding all the subsets whose value equals the limit, is it?
It's really just:

1. apt-get install some deps
2. get the source
3. call make a few different ways
4. run the binary

Really not that complicated. If you wanted to, you could make a flatpak, docker container, appimage, snap, deb, rpm, or whatever for your OS in a few minutes and save everyone else the install.
When I studied farming back in 1998-1999 we once visited a greenhouse and one interesting thing I picked up was that by observation some gardeners had realized that lowering the temperature a bit extra an hour or two before sunrise they could get their flowers to be more compact instead of stretching.

This had replaced shortening hormones in modern gardening (or at least at that greenhouse, but my understanding they were just doing the same thing as everyone else).

I guess there is a lot more to learn for those who have scale enough to experiment and patience to follow through.
Yes indeed, I'd like it if other languages had ownership and borrowing. Hell, I'd like it if a language could actually achieve linear types without holes or being completely unusable.

They could allow more relaxed GC'd normal types, whether default or opt-in, but affine and linear typing are genuinely useful properties fo reasoning about code, from both correctness and performance perspectives.

One needs to look no further than the string slicing problem for that to be clear. It's not an issue in Rust, but in every GC'd language you have to pick between:

1. eagerly copying the slice, which incurs additional often unnecessary CPU and memory costs, but avoids

2. every substring operation which isn't defensively copied being a potential memory leak as you're slicing 3 characters off of a 5MB string on every HTTP request and storing that in a global map, which turns out to store the entire 5MB string you got it from

Or some even more complicated magic where you only perform the copy if the substring escapes, at which point your performance and memory characteristics become wildly unstable and the mere act of extracting a function can bring the entire system to its knees.
You need some way of managing ownership, but it doesn't necessarily need to bubble up to the user level. For instance Swift is going in the direction of leaning heavily on value semantics, plus the actor model to wrap concurrent data, to create a safe environment where the user doesn't have to think about ownership at all.

Of course there's tradeoffs involved, but I think there are multiple approaches to achieve safety and user-space ownership constraints are only one of them.
My POV was the standard fee, divided and spread among the rest. Paywalls would have their own fee and bypass this. In effect a fraction of a pence, summed over your total views of each site, with the $5 split amongst them.
Sure, I can explain. FindFirst and FindNext are API (syscalls) from DOS (maybe CP/M too, I don't know). I can use findfirst to begin listing files on a directory and then make subsequent calls to findnext to get each one of the other files.

At the time people looked down on it mostly because everybody else did it differently and DOS looked like a toy OS compared to more advanced ones.

Of course, my comment is kind of a joke. There many advantages on more advanced ways to list files on a directory. Not having to make one syscall for every file is just one.
If they're living paycheck to paycheck, it doesn't matter that it's "comically low in the US compared to other countries", because that would already be factored into their budgets.
Hey, I'm a ML practitioner for over 6 years and I'm glad to help.

1k distinct labels with a long tail distributions which is what you are describing, is definitely a challenging problem. It's called a imbalanced classification problem.

I'd focus first test how well your model will be able to predict these classes doing a stratified cross validation (stratification controlled by the label class), and measure the F-score, Weighted Accuracy and ROC AUC. Check also the precision and recall for each class. You'll definitely see that the model predicts better for the labels with more samples. The code that you use here, you'll be able to reuse later on, so keep it organized and easy to follow.

Then you have a couple options, focus on gathering more examples for the labels with small sample size, or try to oversample your dataset. This article is a good place to start https://towardsdatascience.com/4-ways-to-improve-class-imbal...

Considering this problem of image classification is normally solved with deep learning, the more data you have, the better will be your results.
I went to a Christian highschool, and they accidently hired an atheist science teacher. It was from before my time there, but according to another teacher, apparently no one noticed for a while, the science teacher would just have students lead the prayers when appropriate.

As long as the person is respectful and open-minded, I don't think it's a problem. What difference is it to a Hindu if the Chaplain was Christian or an atheist; the Hindu wouldn't share beliefs with either?
I don't really have a choice, the public transport is disgracefully bad everywhere near my job (the bus is often 30-40 minutes late and comes every hour and a half, completely unacceptable for commuting on) and I currently don't have a driver's licence as a result of medical issues (that are now resolved but the backlog for tests is enormous after the pandemic).

Also (and this is a general accusation, not a personal one!) it's easy for people who are homeowners to lecture others about sensibly choosing where to live, but for those of us with little prospect of getting on the housing ladder near their pre-covid jobs this line of argument does tend to grate. Being at the mercy of often predatory landlords is never a good position to be in, so I do take it a little personally when people call out for an end to remote work being the norm and a return to the old way of things. For many, remote work has been an adjustment of power away from bosses and landlords and towards employees which is something I don't think should be thrown away cheaply.
Of course, all past decisions are sunk. But knowing this doesn't help you decide if they lead you into a situation where your best choice is continuing to make them because the payout is close now, or if they were a bad idea and the best is to abandon their payout and pursue something better.

The one thing that is certain is that those decisions have biased your options into the one they support. Deciding if that bias is strong enough is the hard step.
You could compile Go to JS via GopherJS but doing so hardly makes sense outside of experiments as the size of the JS output is way too big.

> I don’t think recognizing a trick problem is necessarily about being good or smart.

It goes a bit beyond that; this problem solving algorithm is pretty clearly unworkable. Even here where it can come to an answer in reasonable time it is questionable.

Any student that is happy to employ this algorithm is either extremely smart to the point where they can process a lot of arithmetic very quickly, or not very smart and setting themselves up for failure later on in life when the first guess at an answer doesn't work.

Ordinary garden-variety smart (as in, likely to be good at maths but not Euler or Gauss) should fail to answer this question on the basis that there is no technique beyond brute force, and brute force is impractical without a computer.
