According to the 32 page research report the phrase is "西藏自由", and also that blocking is disabled outside regions of interest. So it's likely you won't see anything happen, but worth a try!
They absolutely do. Hence why I used the public private partnership moniker.
Yes it is particularly social because it has the concept of Karma. It has tamed it by policy but vanity can never be tamed outright. It will always exist in some form on these networks and HN/Reddit style forums capitalize on humans’ vanity by appealing to it through Karma.

Thus it ticks up the social-ness score a bit for sites like HN as opposed to some old forums like one would find on Yahoo or used to find on Compuserv.

Karma and the wisdom of crowds gives way to herd mentality and vanity. It is what drives the form of discussion on these sites.

I made a toy ECMAScript interpreter a couple of years ago: https://github.com/mras0/mjs

Not really notable, expect perhaps being the only one on the list with an ES1 mode? :) (Can't promise it's accurate though, as it was hard to find examples).

Otherwise pretty boring (C++, hand-written parser, AST interpreter, ES1/ES3/ES5.1 support minus some regexp/timezone/locale stuff).
Not everyone has an amazing family.
I was very keen on machine learning for some time- I started working with ML in the mid 90s. The work I did definitely could have been replaced with a far less mathematically principled approach, but I wanted to learn ML because it was sexy and I assumed that at some point in the future we'd have a technological singularity due to ML research.

I didn't really understand the technology (gradient descent) underlying the training, so I went to grad school and spent 7 years learning gradient descent and other optimization techniques. Didn't get any chances to work in ML after that because... well, ML had a terrible rep in all the structural biology fields and even the best models were at most 70% accurate. Not enough data, not enough training methods, not enough CPU time.

Eventually I landed at Google in Ads and learned about their ML system, Smartass. I had to go back and learn a whole different approach to ML (Smartass is a weird system) and then wait years for Google to discover GPU-based machine learning (they have Vincent Vanhouke to thank- he sat near Jeff Dean and stuffed 8 GPUs into a workstation to prove that he could do training faster than thousands of CPUs in prod) and deep neural networks.

Fast forward a few years, and I'm an expert in ML, and the only suggestion I have is that everybody should read and internalize: https://research.google/pubs/pub43146/
So little of success in ML comes from the sexy algorithms and so much just comes from ensuring a bunch of boring details get properly saved in the right place.
In general anything that involves a human doing something for you is very expensive in Denmark.

Taxies, restaurants, day care, contractors, cleaning services.

You can't have cheap service and well paid service workers.

So if you don't want a class of underpaid workers, you have to settle with less human hours being spent on servicing you.
> I wonder why is anybody still surprised.

This is the kind of claim that's deep in conspiracy theory territory until the smoking gun is uncovered, and once that's out (and only then) it becomes obvious and unsurprising.

We did this last year with hydroxychloroquine...all that happened was that some Lupus patients had a hard time getting their normal prescriptions filled.

The "bad effect" doesn't have to be strictly medical, and may not show up in studies. It could be that other people who need the medicine can't get it, it could be that it discourages people from getting the vaccine, it could just be that we are lighting a pile of money on fire for no reasons (that's bad, right?).
Well, I for one can't read the article other than in the private mode, because the site says it's time to register.
And yet fabs aren't reliant on minerals that are rare and geographically concentrated (for the most part, I'm sure they rely on some rare earths. The point is silicon is hilariously common).

Fabs also capture very little value. TSMC and Intel aren't the trillion dollar companies. Google, MS, Amazon, etc. are.

So there's really no upside. Only the downside of a large fraction of the world's high end fab capacity disappearing overnight. It'd be one thing if one side of the US and China had their own backup capacity. But they don't. And they won't for at least a decade, in my non-expert opinion.
The autopilot system, including the inattentive driver, is the system currently. We don't need to test what happens if ONLY the software drivers, that is not is what happening.

Based on my own observation, Tesla drivers, despite being supposedly inattentive, catch a fair number of errors in autopilot. So they are part of the system.

That factor (human involvement, even if imperfect) coupled with the overall safety of the tesla approach (which includes safety benefits in a whole range of areas) may mean that despite this supposed "expose" of the "inattentive" driver the system is safer overall.

One thing folks "exposing" tesla drivers seem to assume is that non-tesla drivers are very good drivers. They are not. It's takes minutes looking into cars to see this. I was just next to a non-tesla road rager who nearly caused three accidents trying to get at this truck.

If places like MIT did some more actual studies on system effectiveness I'd be REALLY curious at fatality rates etc for folks driving Teslas in a normal way, yes, in driving in ANY kind of weather.

Same thing with emergency vehicle accidents which made the news. How many first responder fatalities were caused by Tesla's vs non Tesla vehicle? It could turn out that many / most are caused by inattentive gas powered no auto-pilot cars that are the ones actually killing first responders.

And, I believe, FAA training is famously hard and unforgiving. I've heard if you fail one of the tests, you are out forever and cannot reapply (for air traffic controllers).
Computational efficiency is great, but Principle 6, "Reduce the amount of data", is out of place. Where data is information and informed decisions are better decisions, less data results in worse decisions and inevitably more energy usage down the line. So something is wrong or some qualification is missing in this phrase.

Also note that people are carbon so I read Principle 1 as reduce the amount of people (seats and time) it takes to make the software and make the apps quick to use so people don't waste time waiting on them.
Oh I get what you mean, my bad. You're saying the above poster "typing in Free Tibet and nothing bad happened" doesn't prove anything. Yep, agreed.
I strictly use social media for only about 30 minutes. I divide them into three uses. In that way, I can check out what's happening with my friends and on the internet while not taking too much of our time.
iOS is more consistent, yes, more consistently bad. Android is inconsistent but has much higher average quality.

The notification system alone is leaps and bounds better. The fact that you can use uBlock Origin on Android also makes the UI far more pleasant.
First of all, trying out random substances or applying existing medicines to different illnesses is exactly how doctors and the pharma industry operate.

It's not like doctors actually always understand what is going on; for example, I think even the precise mechanism of anesthetics isn't well understood yet.

So people volunteer to test a human approved drug for a different application. I don't believe in Ivermectin specifically, but there's nothing fundamentally wrong with that. It's what medicine does, and most researchers at universities don't have a clue either (as we now see in the entire Covid19 comedy).
I'm keeping an eye on this while waiting for breaking from more prominent news sources.
> Unfortunately, social media by its nature is going to be harmful.

I disagree. Social media has never harmed me, I just realized it wasn't worth my time. I've never had issues with self-esteem, confidence, popularity, whatever. I used social media as a photo diary for myself, shared pictures and videos with friends, kept up with what my friends are doing. To this day I check in on social media once in a while just because it's more effective than texting 100+ people to see what they're up to. That being said, I don't think social media is worth more of my time than a few minutes every few weeks or months

This article is absolute nonsense.

The iPhone 13 adds very little and is a extremely small upgrade, it's hardly the most important iPhone ever. It's less important than most releases have been.

Then take this:
"The new cameras are for the new generation of YouTube, Instagram and TikTok influencers. Ordinary people with extraordinary tools can do extraordinary work."

Since when has being a 'Tiktok influencer' been extraordinary work?

This article seems to just be written to talk nonsense with real bias, like the author decided what they wanted to write and then tried to make an article of it to hit there quota.
> representative democracy

And given the degree to which lies have gotten better at mutating and spreading, while critical thinking is barely taught in schools, even if this "democracy" was representative it might not work too well.

At this point, I think the only way to save the user base of this dying old system is a slow migration towards competing co-op social services... but once again -- without critical thinking -- most people would likely choose by lowest price and end up with much of the same.
> The United States CDC literally changed the definition of "vaccine" this year, so that these products could still be identified as vaccines.

For anyone else curious:

Before the change, the definition for “vaccination” read, “the act of introducing a vaccine into the body to produce immunity to a specific disease.” Now, the word “immunity” has been switched to “protection.” [1]

It seems obvious to me that this was changed because the layperson’s interpretation of the old wording would make it seem like 100% immunity was the result of vaccination. That’s never been the case. The new wording is just clearer in regular English.

> You're going to tell me that it's "science illiterate" to consider mRNA therapy as gene therapy, because the genes are not actually changed, but instead only expressed to create the therapeutic effect.

It’s not only science illiterate, it’s misleading to a layperson too. It sounds as if it’s changing the patient’s DNA.

> I hope more common sense literate proponents of science can appreciate how much it harms their case for a vast majority of science advocates to be loud and wrong

I do t understand how you think your interpretations lie closer to “common sense”. They seem to me to be more like;y to mislead.

It worth actually to follow links to Abu Hureyra paper [1] to learn that this event is considered not as a solitary impact, but just one in a series of events across four continents. Abu Hureyra's paper also reference paper [2] with a telling name "Evidence for deposition of 10 million tonnes of impact spherules across four continents 12,800 y ago". Here's a fragment of conclusion from that paper:

"The geographical extent of the (Younger Drias) YD impact is limited by the range of sites available for study to date and is presumably much larger, because we have found consistent, supporting evidence over an increasingly wide area. The nature of the impactor remains unclear, although we suggest that the most likely hypothesis is that of multiple airbursts/impacts by a large comet or asteroid that fragmented in solar orbit, as is common for nearly all comets. The YD impact at 12.8 ka is coincidental with major environmental events, including abrupt cooling at the YD onset, major extinction of some end-Pleistocene megafauna, disappearance of Clovis cultural traditions, widespread biomass burning, and often, the deposition of dark, carbon-rich sediments (black mat). It is reasonable to hypothesize a relationship between these events and the YDB impact, although much work remains to understand the causal mechanisms."

The point is he wasn't when he worked with Jobs.

Carmack is exceptional, not just 10x, but how many above average people work with a Steve Jobs and can't prove it and do not even realize it?

Carmack is not an actual good benchmark here, but even as good as he is, he met his kryptonite

Don't assume that great workers will perform great in every condition, because that's not a realistic assumption and only puts pressure on younger people for no reason.

We must not support the idea that if you're not Carmack you can't be worth (at doing your job. *only *) more than the others or the company's average.

Looks close to Scheme to me. Very cool. Anyone know how much of the Rust memory safety you're going to lose using this? It looks relatively strict a la the immutable local variables but are they just going to garbage collect those somehow? Or is this done in a way that the borrow checker remains happy when interopting with normal Rust code?
How about every error message include a link to a wiki entry with a comment section for users and CS to discuss? CS could analyze commonly hit entries and prioritize solutions there.

That depends on you. Social media should be a way to better connect to your friends and family. In particular distant ones that you don't see daily but still want to be in contact with. I haven't seen my 7th grade crush since high school, but I'm glad to see pictures of her kid's first day of college - as one example.

Most people use social media instead for harmful things that do not help society. Left and Right wing conspiracy theorys abound. Pictures of some cat that you don't own.

I think the "cosmic purpose and stakes" component of religion is really tough to beat, hence the enduring power of churches. Transposing that element into other spaces creates a lot of the same issues. Subtracting it eliminates the secret sauce that makes a church sticky.

Chances are the roof of the building they're currently in will never have a heliport. Most buildings weren't designed to support the extra weight of a helipad (including equipment) plus aircraft, and the roofs are already covered with antennas and HVAC equipment.

In the foreseeable future there will only be a handful of heliports per city center. Most passengers will have to take ground transport to reach one.
This is true, but just because the two are on opposite sides of the culture war doesn't mean they're medically mutually exclusive.

> there's no good way to organize your documents into folders

But… there is? Just above this list there's a folder icon, clicking it brings a hierarchical file explorer with nested folders and a breadcrumb tracker at the top showing how deep you are with the ability to jump back to any level. You can show it as a list or a grid, sort…

There's also a text field where you can type any part of a document's name and it will list the matching documents like if you were using Spotlight.

Also, showing recent documents by default seems like a great idea; most people will likely go back to a document they were recently working on.

Granted, but look at it from a purely analytical point of view. The land lord has invested in the property, whatever property it may be. He/she is now renting out that property to you to make a profit and has factored in the cost of upkeep, taxes, labor and wages for not only their staff but also themselves. That's renting. If you're renting a single house from a landlord who rents out a couple of houses, that margin is smaller, but they are still going to want to pay for those houses, costs and make a small profit.

No one gets into these things to lose money. If they start to lose money, they fix up the property and hope for a good market, I would think.
> What are they going to do about it?

File eviction papers? Refuse to renew your lease? (though I understand this would probably not be an issue in this situation since you wouldn't want to renew) Ignore all future maintenance requests? Stop upholding other parts of the contracts? Try and tank your credit? The list goes on...

I used to think like you appear to on this issue, but it's a different story when you are actually in the thick of it. Just like how people say "well that's against labor laws" or "your employer can't do that legally", it doesn't really matter for the person who needs that job to survive, they can only find a new job or put up with it, they don't have the money/time/energy to fight it. It's very similar to dealing with a bad landlord. I don't care about being right, I just want to be happy. Renting leads to unhappiness for me, it doesn't make how right I am, I still have to deal with the landlord's BS. At the end of the day "legality" is cold comfort if you have a toxic landlord.
NASA’s ten coding commandments (2015)
I should clarify: the pollution in Mexico City is particularly bad for a city of its size because of its geography (although it has been getting less worse in the past decade due to regulation). It's in a valley, trapped by mountains on all sides that basically cooks a toxic stew of smog that sits over the city. Combined with a fairly dry climate, this makes the pollution unusually bad, especially during the more dry winter months. Sometimes you can't see the mountains right outside the city the visibility is so bad.

It's more of a long term concern so if you're just planning to stay for a year or two, I think the upsides are greater than the downsides. But I would have serious health concerns about staying and raising a family there. If not for the pollution issue, I would probably have permanently moved there already. It's a world class city.
This is based on my limited personal experience observing the careers of people I know, whom I could consider somehow exceptionally good at their craft. I co-led the CTO team of software consultancy with 350+ devs. In that role it was pretty clear that it was really hard to compete on salary and how interesting projects experts could be offered.

Motivations differ based on what the person values. The top motivations I've experienced are:

- Money

- Following intrinsic motivation and being able to grow professionally

- Friendships and the feeling of belonging

- Stability and not taking any risks

The people in the last two categories tend to change jobs more slowly in my experience, but most still do it at some point.

I'm not aware of any reliable studies on the subject from the field of software engineering. If someone knows one, I would be more than interested in reading one.
