Our visual / auditory biological neural networks do appear to be hierarchical and relatively highly plastic as well.

If you're planning to mutate, crossover, and select expression trees, you'll need a survival function (~cost function) in order to reinforce; RL.

Blockchains cost immutable data storage with data integrity protections by the byte.

Smart contracts cost CPU usage with costed opcodes. eWASM (Ethereum WebAssembly) has costed opcodes for redundantly-executed smart contracts (that execute on n nodes of a shard) https://ewasm.readthedocs.io/en/mkdocs/determining_wasm_gas_...

AFAIU, while there are DLTs that cost CPU, RAM, and Data storage between points in spacetime, none yet incentivize energy efficiency by varying costs depending upon whether the instructions execute on a FPGA, ASIC, CPU, GPU, TPU, or QPU?

To be 200% green - to put a 200% green footer with search-discoverable RDFa on your site - I think you need PPAs and all directly sourced clean energy.

(Energy efficiency is very relevant to ML/AI/AGI, because while it may be the case that the dumb universal function approximator will eventually find a better solution, "just leave it on all night/month/K12+postdoc" in parallel is a very expensive proposition with no apparent oracle; and then to ethically filter solutions still costs at least one human)
"Political noise" is completely subjective. There was a time within the last 10 years when claiming "White supremacists are a serious problem" got you branded as a SJW.
> I'm not sure it's fair to extrapolate what everyone's experience is from what happened to you.

But the problem is generic. USA schools have all the code smells: employees who are “just doing their job Ma’am”, or reacting knee-jerk, politics being involved leading to no solving issues but communicating a lot on them; no-xyz policies (replace with any CNN topic of the time) which leads to extreme response to normal youth events (overreaction to suicide or misbehavior, police in schools, searches come to my mind, but there is worse), competition between children, not only in curriculum but also in who’s the most popular and the most bully, drugs… And finally, the prevalence of psychologists compared to other countries, but psychologists that prescribe Aderall (US schools are world-famous abroad for threatening to curb energy with drugs on, mostly, boys) instead of working with teachers to better alternate recess/manual classes/theoretical lessons.

Of course it’s easy to tell from abroad that something is wrong, but less easy to tell how to setup different social dynamics that would result in a better system (and France certainly has its own problems with schools). It might even be as subtle as too much sugar in kid’s food, which changes behaviors a lot.
> But why are these protocols frozen?

They're not "frozen". As mentioned in a sibling comment I wrote a blog post about this very topic - https://snikket.org/blog/products-vs-protocols/

Your point about optional extensions vs a protocol update isn't really as clear-cut as people think it is. To add a non-optional change to an open protocol in a decentralized network would necessitate blocking people from the network when you roll it out. That's not going to make for a good communication network.

The alternative is what XMPP does. The protocol evolves by adding new extensions, and deprecating old ones. Each extension generally has fallback considerations.

For example when group/offline media sharing was added many years ago, it was designed such that clients implementing the extension could render the media. Older clients, or clients that can't render media (e.g. terminal clients) simply display a URL.

The XMPP Standards Foundation annually publishes its "compliance suites", which (versioned by year) guides implementations on what they need to support. https://xmpp.org/about/compliance-suites.html
It depends who the audience is. If this is about getting mac users interested in open-source, the accessibility of *nix tools on the platform is not a bad inclusion.
I agree with everything here with the exception of:

> A big part of landing a job is lying or embellishing to get to the interviews.

To the OP: I _strongly_ advise against this. I expect people to embellish. I distrust people who lie, and generally avoid working with people who I can't depend on doing what they say they can or will do.

If I interview an entry level candidate, I'm looking for the following:

1. Enthusiasm for the work and/or position.

2. Some indication of work ethic. If you have school or personal projects to show off, I care less about what they do and more about if they've been completed and if someone can discuss, in detail, the process.

3. A non-toxic personality. Most jobs in software require that you work with other software engineers and various employees with skills or expertise in things that aren't software or technology. Demonstrating strong soft skills (explaining complex thoughts in simple language, strong written communication skills, etc.) is critical especially in the post-COVID remote-heavy workplaces we find ourselves in.

Finding the first job is always the hardest. It's a numbers game. You haven't had time to build experience to differentiate yourself from other candidates.

Engaging with the community of people who work at the companies you want to join is a great way to find people to champion your application and gather intelligence about what a prospective employer needs.

Don't be afraid to admit your inexperience--it's expected. Demonstrate that you're trustworthy, enthusiastic, and won't cause problems and that'll get you through most interviews.

Good luck. Reach out via the email in your profile if you want to discuss more--hiring and training software engineers is a topic I'm passionate about.
> I'm sure there are many people who are no longer alive because people did not take their texts seriously.

So? If they wanted to die, that's what they wanted. Do we have to forcibly be required to live in a mental institution, pumped with drugs, for the benefit of others if we don't want to be here anymore?

The code on the right is an explanation or implementation you could jump into. The replacement for use would be the function name, such as `summation` or `product`. A computer language is already used to communicate almost all math these days: LaTeX. A slightly lighter syntax, perhaps with optional unicode names, built on a symbolic math package would not be any more cumbersome.

the first x1 phones have gotten slagged as radically overheating power draining monsters. in some ways im ok with the idea of a high power phone that kicks ass when plugged in. but these year old cores sounded like major battery wreckers. the anandtech calls it a performance first & only size, power consumption irrelevant, arms own slide deck declares it for peak performance in short bursts,
https://www.anandtech.com/show/15813/arm-cortex-a78-cortex-x...

by all meams google, blow us away. show you have the most advanced cooling, and/or the most drive to refine low power processes. like other top tier phone or chil designing companies of note. the x1 should offer some interesting oomph out of box, but whether this chip can really roll (which last years chips seemed only semi able to do) or whether it can also be power conscious (which last years chils reportedly couldnt do at all): somewhat afraid it' fail to find real legs like x1's of last year.

If you only leave online media to news/facts, it's not a social network at all. It's an online news paper or a user manual.

You don't have to be social online, but getting angry at people for socializing on a social network is definitely anti-social.

People have spoken over the phone and have had pen pals for a very long time, so "we have come to that" a long time ago.
That can't be deduced from my argument at all.

Covid 19 results in mild symptoms for most young people. In comparison, the 1918 pandemic was most deadly if you were young, or old.

I can try to explain for people not playing Go the most important thing that changed:

The AI popularized a move that has been known since ages, but wasn't used by strong humans much because it was considered a mistake (the early 33 invasion).

The thing with this move is: It gives you a small advantage very early in the game, but gives your opponent a superior fighting position in exchange. This fighting position was considered better. Not early on, but in later stages of the game it oughtweights the small advantage taken early.

Then came AI and it found out, given enough fighting power, it can mostly cancel that later game advantage.

So the new move is actually a good one, but only if you have very strong fighting skills. AI has this, some very strong players as well.

But for the rest of us, the pre AI strategy is often better because we can't handle the complexity.

It is common to see casual players copying the AI style and digging their own grave while doing so.
True, but I think you can use this bias to your advantage in some ways in the remote world. On a resume what catches your eye first, the name/locations of the HQs of prior employers? Or home address of candidate? The former is much more striking to me personally. If I've seen someone has ever worked in my city, I mentally frame them local even if I later see their address is remote.

Point being, if you can break into the market and rack up a bit of experience, you get that some of that local bias for yourself.

The word "Bible" means different things to different people. Just like the word "Deuterocanon" means different things to Catholics vs Eastern Orthodox.

It's not that this API is "missing the Deuterocanon". This API was likely made by protestants.

The two English translations provided by the API are not approved by the Catholic church.

When I search Google for "Bible", the top two results, bible.com and biblegateway also don't include those additional books.
Moving jobs entails significant risk, which is one reason why offers are high. Maybe you won't get on with your new manager or team-mates. Maybe the codebase is a tech-debt spaghetti nightmare. You can't carry over the reputation and clout you had built up in your old job and you have to prove yourself all over again, and you have less say in how things are done.

Sure the interview process should surface these problems, but applicants can make a "bad hire" as easily as companies, especially as both are showing their best front, and this is more likely if you are enticed by a fatter paycheck.
There are no Sumerian astronomical records.

The written astronomical records that are known appeared a few hundred years after the Sumerians no longer existed, in the 2nd millenium BC.

The Sumerian language is sometimes used by the Akkadian scribes in all kinds of documents, including in astronomical records, but it was already a dead language.

Thanks for the linked paper, it is interesting.

It shows that there are cases when the identity of the planets may be discovered using only detailed oral traditions.

However, that is a quite unlikely event and it happened very seldom in other cultures.

Even if the stories of the Australian aborigines have been interpreted correctly, there is no way of knowing if they had already recognized some planets 10 thousand years ago or only 500 years ago, for the first time.

In order to recognize even the more obvious planets, i.e. Mars and Jupiter, based on oral stories, there must be a habit to recall things that happened long ago, during the last few years, while always mentioning that when that happened, the reddish bright star Mars was in a certain constellation or Jupiter was in some another constellation.

When telling such old stories, you can notice that now a similar star, which might be the same, is in another position.

This is possible, but even in prehistoric cultures it was seldom thought interesting to mention which was the exact star pattern on the sky when something happened.

The normal story pattern was to be more vague about such things of low interest and say just that some event took place e.g when a certain constellation became visible soon after sunset, instead of also describing how many stars were visible in the constellation and which were their individual characteristics.

Such special interest in precise star description might have characterized the Australian aborigines and maybe also the Polynesians and other people who depended on astronomical navigation, but it was unusual at most other people.

In any case the identification of the brighter planets based on oral memories is much more likely to happen in a dry climate, where you might notice the planet every night and recognize it even if it has moved slightly and after seeing it during many months you may realize that it actually is no longer in the same place.

In climates with more frequent clouded skies, it is less likely to recognize when you see again a planet that it is the same as that seen some time ago, because by the time when its position has changed enough its brightness might have also changed, so there is no apparent reason to believe that a new star of different position and brightness is the same as the one previously seen, unless you have seen all the intermediate steps of position and brightness.

This might explain why some planets might have been discovered by Australians based on only oral memories, while no such cases have been seen in Europe or Asia.
I'm not actually very convinced by the article, though I don't entirely disagree with it either; I've never been syntax highlighting's biggest fan, and never bothered to tweak it myself. But "the compiler checks it" doesn't mean I shouldn't care about it, and "it doesn't work in fiction" is just totally irrelevant.

The only test is: does it work for you? For a long time, I thought it didn't do much for me, but recently I discovered that highlighting used and unused variables/functions differently helps me find typos, and clean up my code. Comments obviously should be a bit muted. And strings are nice. I don't care much about highlighting keywords, but it doesn't bother me either. I think highlighting the parameters of the function I'm in differently than the rest of my code would help me, but I don't think my IDE does that by default. Maybe it's time to start tweaking my code highlighting.
> while getting a 'wellness check' every fifteen minutes where a nurse shakes you awake.

Actually, speaking of practices that are implemented for the convenience of administrators rather than the benefit of the patient...

There is a popular belief that, if you have a head injury, you must stay awake because losing consciousness is dangerous. This is completely false. Your urge to sleep reflects the fact that that is what's healthiest for you. If (1) you are caring for someone with a head injury, (2) they want to sleep, and (3) you have no means of addressing a very serious problem such as massive internal bleeding, you should let them sleep, because that is their best chance to recover.

It is, however, absolutely true that, if you have a head injury, 911 will tell whoever is caring for you to make sure that you remain conscious, and if you're already in a hospital, the staff will do their best to ensure you remain conscious. This is not because staying conscious is good for you. It is because they are relying on an index of how severe your injury is ("is he behaving oddly?") which only applies if you're conscious. Everyone who's unconscious is behaving normally.

I last researched this a few years ago, but the best resource I’ve found in this space is: https://getbible.net/api

They’ve taken a different approach to retrieving content - instead of a navigable resource hierarchy you send a citation that approximates the standard format: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bible_citation

This matches one of the most common use cases for a Bible API: turning a citation into content.

It’s also worth scanning your content to find if there are characters that will break JSON serialization. For example, many translations distinguish supplied words by special characters: I’ve seen square and angle brackets used.

It’s not an easy domain to represent once you start handling special cases, but very worthwhile.
> Perhaps this is unfair, but this just makes you sound a bit antisocial.

Disagree. The commenter above may as well lead a healthy social lifestyle AFK. It's just that he/she does not want to be bombarded superficial stuff. There is already too much information presented to us on social media, one can not humanly consume them all, so might as well focus on content that is actually useful in bettering oneself.
Copyright is a law that by design prevents the selling or buying or other transfer of some data, and it even sometimes works (black markets notwithstanding).

If your goal is to restrict the transfer of some other kind of data, copyright is already a legal and practical framework that had tackled the same problems, and offers solutions.
That appears to be a distinction without a difference. Even though they already have Ebola, they may not infect someone else.

P(infect another) = P(get the disease)*P(transmit after getting it)

With the Ebola example, that's P_Ebola = 1.0*P(transmit after getting it).

With the COVID example, that's P_COVID = 0.3*P(transmit after getting it).

Both of these are sub-1 and not guaranteed to happen. In fact, P_COVID may actually be larger than P_Ebola depending on the relative R0 and assumptions we plug into the above calculations. So I don't see why the distinction you raised has relevance.

Detaining someone with Ebola, which we both agree is a good idea, is also a pre-crime measure, because they haven't infected anyone yet and they may never have infected anyone even without detention.

And I will also point out once more (due to your second sentence) that I do not support forced vaccinations for COVID. The COVID disease just isn't deadly enough and the vaccines aren't effective enough at preventing transmission for me to support that. I am merely saying I do support it in the abstract if a sufficiently deadly contagious disease comes about in the future.

I don't think it's absurd that the tenant gets extra protection to counterbalance the ownership issue that lets the owner-tenant have the last word in the long run. But I suspect the man would draw the short straw regardless of the ownership situation.

Which I'm fine with, it still seems to be a reasonable heuristic given how imbalanced I believe domestic abuse is. But obviously it's unjust in some cases, and not useful for same sex relationships. Let's strive for a world where as many women as men own shared housing and act abusive towards their spouse.

I had this many years ago with my Samsung Galaxy S4. I lived and worked in China back then and ordered the phone from Germany. It arrived, but it could not be activated. I tried every ROM I could find, but nothing helped. I ended up waiting a few months until I was back to Germany to activate the phone.

I stopped buying SAMSUNG after that experience.
