Isn’t the reason here that it takes weeks or months to make changes to machine learning models of this size? You can’t “patch” a model, so you stick a simple filter on the model while you figure out how to train a new one.
The OP probably doesn't want people to run away and never look back
The problem is the training set, which apparently skews too much towards white ppl, and doesn't include checks for the primates/non-white humans differentiation. One could argue this is due to white people building things for white ppl, which does indeed point towards systemic racism in the overall development process.
"Animals" apply too. Also quite a few others.
>Doubtful. So-called "pro-lifers" are also, generally, against other forms of birth-control, including pills and condoms.

Funny, that's the exact same strawman OP was talking about.
That's exactly where they went.
I don't think it's completely irrelevant because less power usage means less heat output and a reduction in annoying fan noise.
One trade off I can think about is rolling out changes or updates . With docker the orchestration tool will handle that for me
AFAIK Google just blocked all “gorilla, primate” related tags in Google Photos.
Phabel PHP transpiler – Write and deploy modern PHP 8 code, today
Increase the training set to include more non-white ppl and animals?
Should not the difference be measurable? Do not we have recordings before those tests?
I have seen that argued a lot, but it doesn't hold up to any scrutiny for the general group that claim to hold these views[0]. If that was the case, they would be working to make condoms and BC, especially semi-permanent BC like IUDs, much more widely available and they would work hard (they are trying to save lives here) to ensure excellent sex education.
There also wouldn't be exceptions for women who had been raped (terrible fate, but the kid shouldn't be killed for it).

If on the other hand this is about punishing women for having sex, then they would try to prevent access to BC, as it removes the risk of pregnancy, and would have exemption for women who were raped because they didn't do anything worth punishing.

Of course I haven't seen anybody who is against abortions arguing that we should make spare kidney donations mandatory, despite the fact that people (who are, without a doubt, people) die waiting for a transplant. If you are not willing to make that argument, I don't see how you can logically argue against abortion.

[0]: I am not claiming that some individuals don't hold that belief.
> Abortion is really a very simple issue, those who say it is about "regulating women" attack a straw man. Pro-lifers believe that abortion is murder of the baby. This trumps a woman's right for a medical procedure.

That's a very weird take on the issue, specifically because I agree with you in many respects, but that is exactly why abortion is a very complex issue.

The fundamental question is "when does individual human life begin?" Yes, pro-lifers believe that it begins at conception, but why should their beliefs take precedence? I don't believe at all that an early embryo/fetus at 6 weeks is "an individual" in the human sense, where abortion would equal murder.

Of course, the problem is that when a fetus does become a full-fledged human is a gray line - pretty much everyone believes it occurs at some point between conception and birth, but where you draw that line is why this is a difficult, complex issue, not the "simple" one you seem to believe it is.
The origin of libertarianism is Dejacque, who considered Proudhon of "property is theft" fame to be a "moderate anarchist, liberal, but not libertarian" for not going far enough.

He was an anarcho-communist and the first publisher of libertarian political texts.

Right-wing libertarianism is about a century younger, and e.g. people like Rothbard very intentionally tried to find common ground between what he saw as the anti-authoritarian parts of the left and the right, but was largely rebuffed by the left, where left-libertarians, many of whom are anarchists, saw the right-libertarian obsession with property rights as fundamentally incompatible with the goal of maximising liberty.
> how is this different than a baker not making a cake for some particular customer?

This is not refusing a customer, but more refusing an ingredient on customers request: "I know you request to have shit in your cake, but we're not going to do that."
"Thirty Years that Shook Physics", by George Gamow, fits the bill pretty well.
This tends to happen when your dataset isn’t well balanced.
> Women are perfectly capable of supporting policies that have materially misogynistic outcomes

Yeah that's my point. I don't know why it's an odd complaint. "Men trying to control women's bodies" isn't true and turns an ethical debate into something about sexism, which means we don't get closer to an answer because we're not working on the right things.

> whatever we pick involves some kind of value judgment, right?

This only seems true because it is already the case that the answer affects our lives as human adults having to take action based on the answer in our particular cases. If we lived in some other universe where abortions were impossible (e.g. they always kill the mother for some reason), it seems like we wouldn't have that difficult enough of a time identifying when life begins in the fetus.

What's funny is that because the answer affects us and we won't drill down into narrower ranges to identify specific criteria, this also makes our understanding of all other life more ambiguous. Because if we did identify when frogs, or elephants, or seedlings turn from cells into life, it would have obvious implications for humans.

> first trimester abortions should be safe/legal/accessible" seems like a fine place to start, and go from there

It seems like this is exactly what Texas has done. It went from there.
A mother has a right to refuse to breastfeed but that doesn’t imply that she would be innocent of parental negligence for failing to find an alternative way to take care of the child. Once a child is born to legal guardians there are minimum standards for caregivers.
If someone chooses to not believe the moon landings were real, fine. But when it comes to the climate, we’re all in this together whether you believe it or not, so there’s a little bit more urgency to get everyone on board.

So no, I don’t think just laying out raw facts with no context and explanation and simply hoping everyone educates themselves is good enough.

Ideally, the storytelling around the data is the educational part. It should explain what this data means and why people should care by releasing it to things they do understand.
yup, exactly. Unfortunately the original meaning is almost never what's meant by libertarianism.
That it was written at all is what matters. Mentioning that it was written in Go simply tells us that it's fast enough for a cli and is a single binary. Yet, many existing python utilities in this class are also fast enough and not backed by a single binary.
This is utterly baseless speculation and overwhelmingly likely to be a pure fantasy narrative.
> Also, even if they did believe that an embryo is a baby, that doesn't make it so. What they "believe" (or say they believe) shouldn't matter; what matters is what is.

I understand that the things you believe are facts, and the things others believe are opinions?

Whether abortion is murder is a strictly philosophical question, not a scientific one: there are a lot of facts to consider (beyond religious principles and thinly veiled misogyny) but they are only as relevant and decisive as one considers them.
Remember that the baker in that case wasn't even refusing to sell them a cake. The couple could choose any cake in the shop, and the baker was willing to make them a cake for almost any occasion - he just objected to making a customized cake specifically for a gay wedding, kind of like if you were a baker and didn't want to make a cake for the American Nazi Party or the KKK or the pro-lifers next door or the Mayor you oppose. If they wanted a generic cake and wanted to buy icing to decorate it themselves, he was still willing to sell them one.

It was a long time ago. But I definitely speak in English in my dreams now. What is more curious though is that non-English speakers (in real life) also speak in English. I guess we don’t know so much about our brains. Would be fun to talk to someone who specializes in these matters.
Remember that in the cake baking case, the owners didn't refuse to do business with the couple. They offered to sell them any cake in the shop, or even make a custom cake that wasn't for their gay wedding.

It was specifically using their creative arts to contribute to the wedding that the owner refused to do.
I can't recall if it was Back Orifice, or another "root kit tool" of the time, but these tools are absolutely where I first saw the allure and call of a custom telnet shell. I remember telnet-ing into the control port and aggressively open/closing the CD-ROM drive on my brother in the other room (among other pranks).

Something about telnet-ing into a service gives that Great Hacker Feel. You're at a command line! But it's not bash, or cmd.exe, it's something specific to that rootkit. There's little easter eggs. Some common escape codes might work, they might not. The prompt changes as you use it.

These days, I don't get many opportunities, but if I can add a very simple line-oriented protocol to a side project I sure will.
> Regulating voting hours

> Currently, counties with a population of 100,000 or more must provide at least 12 hours of early voting each weekday of the last week of early voting.

> SB 7 would lower that population threshold to 30,000 so more counties would be required to offer more early voting hours between the newly established window of 6 a.m. to 9 p.m.

You’re against this?

> But the legislation also sets a 12-hour cap on how long early voting can run during that week, so polling places that stay open until 9 p.m. would have to open up later in the morning.

Or you think only being open for 12 hours is too constraining for [in person, early] voting… nonetheless in towns of 30k people?

I mean, there’s going to be a mixed bag if I were to really dig in, and now that I’m not a TX resident anymore, I don’t really care to.

In Palo Alto, during the last presidential election, I had to hand my ballot to a person who before feeding it into the machine reviewed my votes. She was particularly concerned about me choosing to NOT vote on certain issues, asking me if I wanted to try again. I never had anything like that in Texas or Oklahoma.
If it's not evident, the conception and enforcement of private property writ large is established by governmental coercion. Thus monopolization really only occurs through that force, and is also the predominate competitor for monopolization.

You've got a silly proconception that mankind is endemically neurotic. Virtually every interaction you make throughout the day is self-organized, I'd conjecture the vast majority of it is done without direct, indirect, or conditioned coercion, and unsupervised. Multiply this by 7bn. That is to say that most all hierarchical authority isn't even preventative, and is almost exclusively reactionary, which further extends into reasoning that the "order" promised by the institutions is largely illusory outside of the directives offered, which could just as well be derived through any other system.
This is a byproduct of the arcane US medical system. The rich see a doctor and get drugs and are warned off ivermectin. The poor see doctors with meters attached, insert $$, get advice, follow advice to pharmacy = another meter, insert $$.
Even an ambulance can cost $1000.
In Rest of world the state pays health, so the first doctor visit kill the ivermectin myth and they get the proper medication at a fraction of the US price.

I applied for 3 jobs and got 5 interviews. That was UK, where are you?

Easy answer is your CV might be poorly written.

I'm definitely no expert, but my CV is my contact info first, then one short paragraph describing myself, then a skills matrix of:

language | years | relevant sub things

e.g.

javascript | 15 years | react, angular, node, jquery
C# | 13 years | .Net Core, EF6, EF Core, ASP.Net

Then a history of work experience, with a 4-6 line summary of what I made or value delivered while in that job.

2013-2016 Senior Software Engineer, Acme Consulting

- Designed and Implemented purchase order system for core product in C# and SQL Server
- Headed up greenfield project of new invoicing product built with react + node
- championed and headed up switch from SVN to Git

Then at the end a very, very short summary of qualifications

Make sure you mention every common keyword you see in job adverts for the sort of role you want at least once.
A lot of this I find to be kinda bad commenting, you've got to remember NOT to just directly comment on what the code is doing, but rather explaining why. With future updates your comments will eventually be wrong if they do anything other than give context.

If all your comment does is say what the code on the next line is doing, don't. Instead just try to make the next line more readable.
I have a simple rule to go by. Comments should describe “why” and the code should describe “what”.
It’s a parasite medication for humans too. The reason it’s said that people take horse dewormer is because people literally take things labeled horse dewormer. The reason of course being that it’s easy to get and doctors won’t prescribe it so you get it over the counter. At the pet store…

Large peer reviewed studies or meta analysis doesn’t show a strong effect. Some small positive effect might be there - but it’s definitely tiny compared to vaccines.

Self administering a drug is rarely a good idea. But it’s perhaps understandable. However, skipping the vaccine and taking ivermectin instead is probably what’s being questioned (and rightly so).
People have been convinced to poison themselves at scale in a desire to avoid being poisoned at scale by the vaccine.
Why though? Why is Facebook and Whatsapp infrastructure... You will not die if you don't use the internet. You might die without power or water. The problem is the same people that support these laws.. do not want the internet to be treated like public utilities.

Also I agree ISP and internet connections should be a public utility just like telephone. Even though we had that whole ATT monopoly.

But websites are not utilities at all. They are stores. Are we now saying Walmart cant kick people out for screaming crazy stuff in there stores?
I'm not saying the experiments aren't interesting oh, they are. The fungi shows an amazing amount of sophistication and conditional response. I do however think that anthropomorphizing it actually detracts from the exciting response observed. Framing it as being mindful intelligent and having memory implies some concept of mind which clearly isn't there and isn't an is misleading. This distracts from the interesting chemistry and physics problems of how conditional responses are formed and information is stored. If one were to push back on a physics explanation, what would the alternative be: Magic? A soul? Some sort of new decentralized cognitive process never seen elsewhere in nature capable of awareness and decision making?
Do you feel the same about this?

> Yes. But what’s the angle here? You trust “ISP(s) hosting your DoH server” but not “ISP providing phone connection?”

Your own DoH server could just do the filtering you want and then hand off the work to another real DoH server like Cloudflare's.

> Might be a legitimate reason for that, but ultimately as with all these discussions it’s just a matter of who you’d rather give the data to.

True, but in most of the USA, your ISP is the least trustworthy choice for who to give your data to.

> And your ISP will still be able to see from SNI for the most part so… it boils down to “my ISP can see anyway (via SNI), should I also let someone else see (DoH provider)?”

So let's hurry up and deploy eSNI/ECH everywhere.

I think it's useful to consider that many women may not be comfortable naming or formally accusing her rapist (for reasons that include, way more often than you'd think, that a family member is her rapist and she still lives at home). For this reason, anti-choice laws that have exceptions for rape often mean only a tiny minority of women can actually use the exception.
In defense of the first comment, when first approaching a body of code like this, it's not always going to be clear what returning None is going to mean in any given method.

Also, one thing I think doesn't get mentioned enough is the use of comments as anchors for text search. Having "disable limiting" expressed in English that way makes it easier for newcomers to explore the codebase.
I certainly would like to think so, but the argument seems circular. These things are so hard to reason about!
The hatred for this drug on reddit and cnn, which is reaching hysterical, irrational levels, including the widespread wish for the people who take it to die (including this week Joe Rogan) has led me to do my own research. I have learned how Ivermetin has been safe for humans since 1975 and has eliminated terrible diseases for millions of people. That said I wouldn't take a dosage recommendation from randoms on the internet. But I am no doctor or medical professional, so I let the doctors explain it to me (this article from 2011 is interesting). So thank you Internet hate mobs for making me learn something new that I did not know about a truly beneficial drug eliminating diseases in Africa. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3043740/
>might be able to put a useful label on something that they'd previously just considered a personal quirk.

Is that useful though? I disagree with this need people have to categorize themselves. It seems just going on without labels would be better

Democrats have tried to do just that, to a degree, by giving gun violence victims the right to sue the gun shop and gun manufacture. I (and bernie) have opposed such bills, for the same i (and bernie) oppose this bill. its a shortcut around the constitution that shouldn't be allowed to exist.
The people here saying the label is "correct" are both wrong, and missing the point. The objective of the model is not "taxonomic classification", the objective is "video recommendation". The label, in the context of the purpose of the model, is completely wrong.
I teach user interface design, with a bit about typography but I'm not a typographer myself. But I feel like a lot of the advice there is taken from graphic design (based on the original EoTS book), and not that practical for web designers where text is slightly more fluid.

Namely, much of the book is about making choices that depend on the exact placement of individual characters on the screen. Like the entire section about hyphenation. This doesn't make sense if the glyphs show up slightly different on different screens. Like Mac/PC/Android might render the same glyph for a font just a pixel different (maybe even just due to the way it rounds a number), bumping a glyph on to the next line. It's really hard to control the exact placement of each glyph, and not worth fretting about for the web. So I think the principles in the book that are focused on exact placement of individual glyphs (characters) is incompatible with the more general principles of responsive layouts or using a native font stack.

Some of the advice is automatically taken care of by defaults on the browser/OS, like kerning or letterspacing are often not that relevant to the web designer. It might be relevant to the people working on rendering at the browser level. And the other advice is stylistic and depends on the content (like indentation and casing).

I think the most practical advice from this book is fairly straightforward: choose some appropriate sizings for various headers and body text, check that you have about 70 characters per line, and choose a comfortable line-height for the body text.
I think there's a lot of truth in what you're saying but I think there are also many exceptions which would include many academic philosophers, people who vascilate a lot and people really looking for something but not having found it.
This is a byproduct of vaccine hesitancy and politicization of the pandemic.
I remember NFT way before 2019, WP says that it was coined in 2017, and GPT-3 appears to have no issue explaining what NFTs are:

"*Non-fungible tokens are* tokens that are unique. Each token is unique in some way. For example, each token may represent a piece of land, or an individual baseball card.

Fungible Tokens

Fungible tokens are tokens that are interchangeable. Each token is interchangeable with another token.

The most common example of a fungible token is a cryptocurrency. This is because each unit of a cryptocurrency, for example, bitcoin, has the same value as every other unit. Fungible tokens are useful in situations where you want to represent something that is interchangeable. For example, you may want to represent the ownership of a supply"...
