>It's not too hard to imagine that it might be possible to learn representative K-means clusters of training vectors and then, at run-time, find similar vectors using an efficient hashing scheme and do the equivalent of a table lookup to get the approximate dot-product similarity scores -- without having to perform any multiplications.

Isn't that basically the same as replacing your hardware multiplication operations with a hardware lookup table?

The downside of the enabling rule is that it has high specificity. I often have that issue with links. But if you are really strict about this and never overwrite styles anyway you do not even need to think about specificity.

Hi Leftium, so it's fix. And we also find a way to get the english subtitles.

You can have a look here:
https://download.checksub.com/download?videoUrl=https%3A%2F%...

If you're doing professional video translation, Checksub.com offer an efficient workflow to do it. But in that case we don't use the Youtube Subtitles, we offer a better speech-to-text solution.

How it's working:

- Go on checksub.com and create an account

- Upload your video (it's free for the video shorter than 1m30s)

- Define the settings of your project (language,etc...)

- Review the transcription

- Get your automatic translation and edit it.

I 100% agree with your post but i’d like to add something about this :

> It isn't like everyone can escape poverty or a bad spouse

You are right and medicalization is useful to overcome this. But there is a real risk, as a society, that we find it normal to treat the depression induced by those issues, rather than the issues themselves. We should treat poverty and work towards making divorce less painful rather than thinking medication allows a status-quo.

But that’s another topic on its own and absolutely not a counter argument of your answer.
I am pretty stubborn. And I stubbornly believe that advertising is a bane of society and has been for far too long.

But then I recently was pointed towards https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wf8mZVmof2g by twitter. It's a 2 minute ad I don't regret watching, and it has changed my opinion a bit.

If a company wants to spend $x million on paying artists, I find that a worthy thing to do.

Somehow, if I imagine how Coca-Cola would have spent the same money to make a generic "<sports personality> praises product in an extremely generic manner" ad, 95% of the money would have gone to the celebrity.

I don't know why to me, that makes a difference. Maybe I am just baffled by actually enjoying an ad.
It's not the software availability, it just looks ugly.

There was a short period in the mid-2000's where there was a lot of desktop eye candy (sup KDE) and accelerated window managers like Beryl, but it regressed from there.

Look, nobody wants to be diffing config files when they upgrade random software packages. The lack of UI polish, multiple UI toolkits, questionable UX choices, and user ergonomics are poor. Give me a Linux desktop with a beautiful and consistent UI like we had with Windows 2000 and I'll be the first to use it.

Let's face it. MacOS is the real successor to the UNIX throne, most of the middle class uses it, and everyone else is on Windows.
Yep, as per the other comment. Reference to the Handmaid's Tale.

Nuclear is not ideal, because its civilizational brittle. Meaning it relies on complex society remaining stable and producing all those artifacts to maintain and recreate it. Add to that a complex supply chain and its less then ideal for a uncertain future.
I'm missing something I guess - I don't understand your comment in the context of this claim near the start of the article:

"The root cause of the problem is that distribution package managers and Python package managers ("pip" is shorthand to refer to those throughout the rest of the article) often share the same "site‑packages" directory for storing installed packages."

Having a system venv - managed by the system's package manager - would mean this "root cause" would go away, no?

Of course by poking around the filesystem tree and messing with managed files as root, you could mess up the system venv but that's possible with any installed package.
Hard to point out the difference, but I feel it too.

It's adding information either way, I agree. The difference is that the old algos used information from the image itself, and this one uses information from a lot of other images.

I'm sorry but it's like HN has just suddenly become this place where people are literally unable to just reply to the comment they read and not some made up fantasy version that relies on whatever agenda they've applied to you. It's a little much when you're going this far in turning off your brain to be able to do it... please realize using critical thinking is not a moral fault. It's the bare minimum you can do reading a comment.
The "old" compiler which is written in C/C++, I don't think that it's open source though.

The modern compiler - Roslyn - was explicitly re-written in C#, and is currently the main compiler (and has been for about three years now).
If you have foo.py and bar.py in a directory and you want to import foo.py from bar.py you only need to add an empty __init__.py

You would then `import .foo`
Thanks! It has proved to be very useful. Can you please put a link or reply to this comment detailing the source of the data? I don't care about the staleness but the accuracy of the data. I would like a more nuanced accuracy also, if possible, e.g. data from 3 hours old is really 3 hours old and not 5-6 hours old etc.

This is complete nonsense as well as damaging for people who suffer from depression and who would believe your nonsense instead of seeking science-based help.
> Very few things bother me, and very few things excite me.

the bother part is fine, but i want to stay being excited even by everyday things like a good book, music, a small treat, a cup of coffee or a meal i just cooked for myself.

not worrying about everything does not have to mean not to be excited about everything.

(i guess it also comes down to how one defines "excited")
Use virtualenvs, that's the problem they solve.

You can split definitions of depression in a number of ways, but one that's been around for a long time is exogenous (external causes) and endogenous (internal causes). The idea that symptoms are only due to life situations is simplistic and wrong.

This feels a bit like the straw man arguments about economics only treating people as rational actors, whereas economists have been aware of the issues with that for decades.
Depression is a symptom that can be the result of a multitude of physiological causes and not always psychological. One could induce the effects of serious depression in a person through gene therapy, specific nutritional deficiency, certain drugs, for example.

It can be hard to understand the cause for each person, and I do believe strongly we currently under-treat and under-investigate depression and it’s sources in people

The arguments put forward in the article and video are good and do a better job than I could at explaining what we know about depression

decorative nodes to the DOM doesn’t seem like a good solution

Why? You could add the same constraints to the sizer: min, max, flex shrink/grow, put a line or any other shape in it. It wouldn’t even take a separate “display” mode, just make :row-start, :row-end and :row-wrap pseudoclasses to control collapsibility of regular divs at the sides of a container (or whatever styling you need, anything). Instead they feed us yet another crippled special case with these gaps.
This is what I think the most often overlooked problem inherent to nuclear power in any form: whenever you create a nuclear reactor, you are betting on future people to handle it correctly. And not only during it's operational life of say 20-30 years, but also during the ages or millennia afterwards. This is quite a risky bet, as no one can predict the future. And centuries without war and/or other catastrophic events have been quite rare.
This business also wouldn't be viable if Apple and Google had never opened their platforms to external developers in the first place. Or if they never existed and everyone still had really advanced Nokia phones with T9 and SMS.

Or perhaps their business wouldn't be viable if iOS and Android were Windows-esque free-for-alls with rampant spyware and malware, making a good portion of their potential user base wary of installing apps.

Or perhaps their business wouldn't be viable if people haven't become accustomed to spending money in App stores without worrying about credit card fraud, etc.

Or perhaps their business wouldn't be viable if iOS and Android had no mechanisms to protect against app piracy, and 30% of their potential customers pirated the app.
I think the homeless don’t scare people necessarily because they are a what-might-be but rather because of being a what-is. In the us you might get a bad conscience if you see a homeless person but hey at least your salary is good. In Europe we pay so many taxes that it feels a bit different.
No I didn't know you could do that. But also in my use case anonymity was a requisite.
yeah this, there's money to be made from "let us run your existing grafana" that isn't there to be made from "why not port the whole thing to a different platform".

The first is less infra to manage because AWS does it for you. The second is much bigger project and therefore a harder sell.
What I did after having argued several times is to straight up let them know that this isn’t true, told one or two examples on why these arguments are fake most of the time and that if they want to find arguments against it, that they would find some. Then I stop talking about such topics with them.

In my opinion, it‘s just not worth after having spent some time trying to discuss it with them. Especially when they don’t provide any backed arguments but just „random“ statements

In my experience these algorithms only work when you have a high quality, high resolution image that has been scaled down.

If you give it a low quality image, it doesn't do anything.

So it's quite limited.

Nothing trains you to not take things personally like being put through the ringer of modern day online dating. Forcing myself to deal with rejection hasn't been a very pleasant experience, but I'm absolutely sure I've improved because of it. As soon as you can truly and honestly accept that in the vast majority of cases, you do not have the power to change people's perception or attraction to you, it's not only liberating: you also realize that effort is better placed where you have a decent chance of actually changing the outcome.

Once you understand and feel confident in what you have to offer other people, if they do not want it, what else is there to say? Nobody wants everything, and nobody can offer everything. A single human, or ten humans, is not representative of humanity. There's nothing to be sad about, it's just an interaction among millions, and you just need to find new interactions.

It's based in insecurity, the need to affirm our value through other people. This is of course fundamentally human and is practically impossible to get rid of, but you don't have to assign the same value to every single human you come across in your life. You don't like every human being in the world, so why would you expect every human being to like you?
Both needs each other as to what I'v concoluded when I researched this topic.
Making the machine is one thing and using it for fabrication is different thing, it might sound naive to say so, since typically one might think generally of machines as they comes with manual, and that's all you need for opreation..etc, but that is really far from be the case for the EUV machines or the fabrication plants...
Lastly, to add to the point, if it was only about the machine, why Intel haven't started using it for fabricating <7nm...

The challenge with most startup/entrepreneur visas is that different countries have very different rules and people don't show for these visas and compare them. Most people are forced to go through this because they are required by one way or another to head to a country. That in turn means that there is no desire to make the process any better.

Relatedly Brexit is a really odd thing. I feel like absolutely nobody is happy and it will never be over. They are not even compromising on truck driver immigration now so I doubt anyone would touch investor visas.
220k for programming?? Is this a normal amount in the States? Here in the UK that would be an extremely high amount to be paid for programming. Could it be that the reason it's so high is it's a very demanding job?

I get paid around 50-60k USD, and I'm 40, been programming for 20 years. However I value my sanity over my pay, so have never pursued high stress or demanding jobs. This probably explains my low pay, but I live a comfortable life in a nice house in a good neighborhood (my wife works part time). I have time to spend with my kids and exercise regularly.

>Having a system venv - managed by the system's package manager - would mean this "root cause" would go away, no?

Oh, but you need to explain to pip that it's managed by the system's package manager. Which is what this does with the "EXTERNALLY-MANAGED" file.

And you need to do that because the system's package manager and pip have separate sources - with `pip` you get the packages from pypi, with the system's package manager from its repo.
I think we agree? I'm confused. Here's what I wrote a few posts up, I'm not sure how this disagrees with what you said just now:

> > > Are you suggesting that regulators can force Apple to give away their stuff for free if they want to participate in that market?

It seems your answer is yes.

It would be nice if the Mac App Store fixed all these things, but eg. refunds are a mess on the App Store. Officially there are no refunds at all, in practice it kinda depends on the support agent, and sometimes developers are mysteriously hit with refunds after years... It's a mess for both consumers and devs.

At the same time, MAS is not suitable for many business customers. Eg. some companies buy software exclusively through resellers -- not possible on the Mac App Store. So you need to sell licenses outside the store as well, at which point you may ask yourself: Why bother with the app store?
The "original" and easy to grasp idea behind neural learning is reinforcement: every time a good result is obtained, the connections that contributed get strengthened (reinforced). Bad results lead to weakening. Back-prop is specific implementation, and it is usually expressed in terms of matrix operations, but you can describe it without as well at the single connection level. Implementing that isn't efficient, though, hence matrix operations.

Poverty and spousal abuse aren't actually statistically significant causes for depression.

You seem to labor under the fallacy to think that anti-depressants are some kind of lifestyle drugs that generally improve mood or tolerance of adversity. They don't.
Even though I understand that differentiating a strictly pavlovian conditioning with "cultural imprinting" might be interesting, the two proposed modes are still extremely similar. A "cultural imprint" is useless unless it eventually evokes a feeling in the customer. The only difference is that the "imprint" works by extra steps.
You are not using rent in the conventional, economic sense. Rent is specifically a payment made to an manufacturer of goods or services that is higher than what is necessary for that manufacturer to bring those goods into existence; (i.e. higher than the profit margin that would have incentivized that manufacturer to produce the good in the first place).

For a trivial example, if a union makes no profit and its actions provide more utility to its employees than their mandatory payments, then it is not receiving any economic rent.

> I'm leaning more and more against systems designed to prevent free riders—our culture is so primed to value "fairness" that we're willing to impose significant net harm to achieve it.

I'm not sure if you fully understand what free rider problems are. The whole point of preventing free riders is that by imposing a tax or mandatory payment, you increase net utility. If imposing a tax truly imposed significant net harm, then the problem wouldn't be a free rider problem by definition!

Free rider problems are really coordination problems. Essentially, there are situations where if everyone cooperated, then everyone would be happier. But there is no incentive for any one person to cooperate because they can choose to defect, yet still receive the benefits of cooperation.

> free public transport, subsidizing the unemployed/homeless/etc...

First of all, these are not solutions to free rider problems. Second of all, it is not clear that they impose significant net harm. For example, you might claim that welfare reduces the incentive to work and or educate themselves. This is the typical conservative market-fundamentalist argument.

But practically speaking, humans need to take care of basic needs before they can start working or learn. The positive effect of nutrition, taking care of basic needs, etc. might overwhelm the negative effects from reduced incentive to work. So you need a lot of sophisticated analysis on real data before you can claim that these policies actually impose net harm.
Apple and Google have a duopoly (an inefficient market) on mobile platforms, which is how they were able to enforce anti-competitive restrictions to sustain their 30% fee for so long.

This new law opens up the mobile payment processing market to more competitors, which will drive prices downward to benefit users, developers, and competitors at the expense of Apple and Google.
I'm sure they're both humbling, it's just that I believe the massive difference in selection between men and women is exacerbated by the online experience. There are benefits and downsides to them both, I think.

Sad but true.

I think the most fundamental change of Brexit is the overwhelming "you're not welcome" message. Visas, papers, bureaucrats, people can deal with. But the idea that you're at best tolerated so long as you pay your taxes is really off-putting (even for me, now UK citizen and long-time resident).

Also, all these schemes forget that moving for a job is so much more than that - it is moving a life. Can you move your life with your partner and kids - are they welcome? Can your parents come and visit? Is it obvious you can access healthcare, schools, social safety net on fair terms? Will you have to justify your whole existence to a reluctant bureaucrat every 12 months?

Pre-Brexit, there was always a bit of tension to foreigners in the UK, but then there always is, and London was by far better than most places. But the guarantees of EU membership were so strong that you didn't even think about any of these issues.

My impression is that another upside Silicon Valley has over the UK is that the US is genuinely a country of immigrants. Whatever hoops you have to jump through to get in or stay, I don't get the impression people are looked down on because they are foreign, once actually on the ground. Which is not so much the case in Brexitania.
