I think there was a study that showed psychopaths don't get addicted to drugs. Something something brain reward centers something. Or maybe it's anecdotal, a drug dealer's one customer who's "like a machine" and can quit whenever he wants.
Was going to answer this. I very much agree with the article, but deep learning is absolutely a game changer for computer vision.

I myself tried several time to “not use ML” for some easy computer vision tasks where traditional CV methods are supposed to work. Well I always end up in situations where they don’t work well without fine parameter tuning, and tuning the parameter for a situation breaks the model in other situations, so you start adding layers of complexity to automatically tune the parameters, but the parameter tuning system also has its own parameters... While a simple neural net is trained easily and is much more robust, saving a lot of time and complexity.

Another proof of that is that CV products only started meaningfully entering the market after ML became applicable to CV (after 2015 for complex tasks, or earlier for simpler stuff like MNIST).
TFA: " Analyses show that between 1960 and 2010, the US Billboard Hot 100 songs with the most profound influences on pop music were hip hop."

The last several words link to:

https://royalsocietypublishing.org/doi/10.1098/rsos.150081#d...

which says: "The rise of rap and related genres appears, then, to be the single most important event that has shaped the musical structure of the American charts in the period that we studied."

This is an entirely different claim from the one in the TFA, even assuming that the RSP paper is taken at face value, which is hard to do given its own list of limitations.
There are hundreds of millions of people right now who look at the people in the First World as living lives akin to moon billionaires.

If your goal for a just world is "nobody is ever unhappy or jealous of another person" then that is a very, very high bar to clear.
Oh, and Speedify has (or had, maybe they’ve changed this), an effective speed limit that they also implement. I think it’s about 200 mbps. If you’re getting that speed or better over Wi-Fi or Ethernet or whatever your primary network provider is, then they don’t even bother to bring up the other providers.

So, you’re not going to tie multiple upstream sub-1gbps providers together into one giant network connection, because Speedify will just stop bringing up more channels when it thinks you have enough speed.

At least, that was the Behaviour I saw when I was doing my tests. Maybe I had the wrong type of account, so that they were effectively throttling me down?

This, "...other than that mozilla wanted to invent something." Is not what happened. The browser vendors; Apple, MS, Google and Mozilla, whatever their reasons, decided they were going to kill Java and Flash in the browser. They then flailed about with NACL and other things, before Mozilla put forward WASM and they again, for whatever their reasons, accepted it. Complaining about it now, at least a decade late, is just weird to me. WASM isn't of interest because it's another VM, it's because it's the only VM that runs in the browsers (and soon lots of other places).

I think this is why the Chinese social pact works so well. The majority of people are perfectly fine giving up their private sphere to the government, if the return is prosperity and economic growth, which so fare the Chinese Govt. has been able to provide. Nobody knows what would happen if that prosperity slows down, or ceases. In that case I suspect that “freedom of expression” could become a viable social currency again.

In the end it’s not that different from the social networks pact we’ve silently accepted in the west: our private sphere for shots of dopamine. The difference is what we have in return is much more fleeting, and the only ones benefiting are the social network companies getting richer and richer by trafficking our data.

And if that third party is the same that actually issues your ID (I.e. the government), you give no one anything they didn't have already. It could even be constructed cryptographically so that

1. the government doesn't know for what purpose it verified your identity, only that it did

2. The party receiving the proof of ID (or proof of age, or proof of non-duplicate registration - it could potentially be a lot more limited than full ID) gets it in a zero-knowledge form, so they can't turn around and give it to someone else.
It accurately represents at least 60% of the group projects I was involved in school, though usually the rule wasn't 1, but 2 people that cared with most others not caring. What it taught me is that the most important thing to be successful in group work is to be able to select the group members.
> people engage in prepping/survivalism as a hobby and social group

Color me guilty! For me it started with cooking, that led to gardening, then hunting. Combine that with camping and here I am, part of a small group of very diverse people who like to spend time with as little modern conveniences as possible, as far away from modern life with the smallest possible food print.

We leave our homes with what we can carry, walk as far as we can, collect food en route and hide as good as we can.

If I would be a classic prepper, I would do this with the most important people in the world: my family, but I do not. It is just for fun and to meet different people and how to take care of each other without outside assistance. Challenging and suitable for everyone since you can do it for as long or short, as far or as close as your means allow you to.

Eerrrr. I know you mean well and I agree with 'choosing your partner' and it might be the most important of your choices in life. But. Losing a job can be utterly crushing and depressing. Bringing work ethic in what might be late triggered burnout or full on depression doesn't seem helpful as a partner. Yes, some people are lazy, but of your partner had a job they were doing with success or at least what you might consider 'work ethics' and then loses it, and can't muster 'putting themselves out there' there might something else you can do to help, rather than divorce? Therapy? Helping with finding a job?

Some years ago, I burned out, and was asked by my doctor to stay home, and this was followed by crushing depression. I was broken for months until I pieced myself back together, with help (therapy, meds, spending time with my kids...). My spouse says she was afraid I was lost, not going bacl to work, afraid I'd be broken forever. Thank heavens she just didn't ditch my ass, she helped me back and I'm watching myself more than ever, because I don't want that to happen twice.

Seeing the person you love falling apart in such a way (depression, burnout) can tempt you to reevaluate the person as a whole. But if you can't stay and help when I'm broken, what kind of partner are you? Sure there's a limit, and everyone must draw a line somewhere (and I'm pretty sure I decided mine before we married), but losing one's job isn't there for me.
Lithuanian government warns about secret censorship features in Xiaomi phones
The problem is not ineptitude. He rejected their self evident wishes for a death they chose, revived them and subjected them to torture and experimentation that Mengele might approve of. I wouldn't wish the experience of having your head drilled open for cranial drug injections on my worst enemy. He's a torture porn peddler glorifying suffering instead of alleviating it, like Teresa of Calcutta.
SWE roles and you are taking webdev as examples? What are the solid engineering fundementals of legions of people doing CRUD development in React and Vue for example? All of your arguments can be turned around if we replace data engineering with webdev.

I switched from a fullstack role to data engineering because I wanted to dig deeper into how to process streams (as an example) and build something that other engineers, and through the use of dashboards rest of the company, rely upon and in that way 10x myself. But also because I wanted to see if I can create the need for a machine learning engineer role at my company since that is what I would like to try out next.

Problem isn't even China. Far more insidious are people in democracies that try to do the same. Mayor of our capital ordered a home search because someone insulted him on Facebook. Not sure about the content what he said, it was probably decently tasteless, but I think this is disproportionate, has a chilling effect and borders on abuse of office.

Ultimately it will be people like this that make draconian laws and censorship possible, so I don't need to look for other countries.

Actually that's pretty accurate, from someone that lives here. There are some good points though, like basic human rights (e.g. abortion), which one cannot take for granted.

There are some related research works (that seem not cited in the article) that focus on estimating a project Truck Factor, which is "the minimal number of developers that have to be hit by a truck (or quit) before a project is incapacitated." A good starting point for those interested is [1], which is also the source of the quote in the last sentence.

Interestingly, these works suggest that having a small number of developers that are critical for the project is risky and should be avoided, opposite to the conclusions of the paper discussed in the article.

Moreover, both Heroes and TF seem to me as consequences of the same problem: the inability of current technologies/methodologies to enable a seamless sharing/spreading of the knowledge acquired by veteran developers, that have been working for a long time on the project, with less experienced ones. I believe the shift to agile methodologies has made this problem worse if anything.

The Model 3 has an interior camera above the rear-view mirror. The camera is not accessible via dashcam, and the owner's manual states that Tesla may be able to access the footage in the event of a crash.
I think Europe does it well. You have two models there: one is subsidized by taxes and the other one is commercial, with either direct access (pay for visit/procedure) or commercial insurance. So basically people have a good choice of options. They can rely only on state healthcare (which is great in some countries and less so in others - but they don't have to pay), or, if they wish to do so, they can also use commercial facilities where any visit/procedure will usually happen quicker.

This system works relatively well and is particularly good in case something goes wrong and you need to spend some substantial time in hospital. And if the worst happens, you get the comfort of knowing that even though your family will lose a part of the income coming from your work, at least they won't end up in huge debts from medical bills.
Straw Hat Riot in New York
The people in the comments of the video purporting it’s “lack of propaganda” weird me out. You’re just frighteningly bad at detecting propaganda. The entire video, and the entire government program that spurred the video were propaganda.

The entire Soviet system only released information through a strong propaganda filter. There was simply no room for any action of the government to be reflected poorly. These tests by and large ended up radiating populations and not telling them.
But should you get insurance in case a meteor hits your house? Fires happen often enough, but some events are low enough probability not to worry about. A house being destroyed by a meteor strike isn't worth spending money on.
To be fair. Doing that fine parameter tuning and complex layering of heuristics is to some extent creating a “ml model” from hand.

This article associates lo-fi music strongly with hip-hop, and kind of implies it's a fairly new phenomenon. But just look to the indie scene and you'll see it dates back to the 80s, with bands like Beat Happenings and Guided By Voices. And much before then, too, I'm sure, but I feel like these bands popularised it.

I'm a huge fan of instrumental hip hop, like J Dilla, DJ Shadow (Entroducing...), Madlib, DJ/Rupture etc. I've never listened to these new YT channels the article mentions, though. To be honest, I never really thought of these artists "lo-fi". The term I hear a lot is "crate digging". These guys scour music stores for old records to find songs and sounds they can repurpose in their own music, creating something completely fresh. Are they recording much new sounds though?

Kind related, but I love early thrash metal. Slayer, Dark Angel, Morbid Angel, etc. In particular, I love that really raw production quality. Don't ask me why, there's just something about a lot of newer thrash albums, where everything is so clean and crystal clear, I just don't connect with it as much. I guess the rawness lends it that aggression which is so integral to thrash.
Yep that's the one, although for me the listing works and is in black.

You’re not alone. Dining out at fancy restaurants is one of my few indulgences. I’ve been really fortunate to eat quite a few of the highest rated ones and I’ve come the the conclusion there’s a few different categories:

- inventiveness & craft: these are chefs that are pushing the boundaries in terms of techniques, finding new ingredients, or trying to find new ways to turn a dish into essentially an art form. Noma, El Bulli, etc. would belong here. There’s every chance you will actually get a dish or two here that you don’t like. But that’s kinda ok, it’s about pushing boundaries and perspectives. Often the kind of places you’d be happy to only go to once.

- all about the flavour & execution: the kind of restaurant where everything is perfect and everything is delicious. Where you finish your meal, are stuffed, but would come back and order the exact same things again tomorrow if you had the chance because it was that good. Petrus in London was one of my all time faves in this category.

- about the experience: it’s not all about the food, this is more like a form of entertainment. You’ll also need to embrace one of the previous two categories to be successful though. The Fat Duck in the UK and Lazy Bear in SF fit this for me. Entertaining enough to do more than once, unlikely to ever become a regular haunt though.

- the rest: I’ve never understood. Expensive for the sake of being expensive. Popular because they’re popular. Probably latching on to some current food trend. The food is always quite good at these places. It’s just never obvious why it’s the best.

Spend enough time in any city and you can usually find amazing restaurants in each of these categories that aren’t anywhere near popular enough to make a Michelin list. I’ve also found if I’m asking a local for a recommendation that framing the question into one of the first 3 categories helps, e.g., “if you had to eat at only 1 restaurant in this city every week for the rest of the year, which restaurant would you want it to be?”
Ah, yes, that burnout when trying to start a new thing alongside a day job. Happened to me as well, and it was hell.

Back in 2001, I was living in a small village half an hour drive from the city. We thought living in the country will be fantastic. I had a great job, working for a US company. Super-hard and very interesting projects, I could come and leave the work as I please. Then, 9/11 happened and all investors disappeared. My pay was cut in half. At the same time, had to go to the army (I chose civil service to pay that out), so I could only work half-time on my job - another half of my pay went away. Suddenly this was unsustainable, and I had a pregnant wife. My solution - no problem, I will start my own business.

While it all worked out well in the end, the next year was terrible. I would leave the house at 6:15AM, be at the civil service until 3PM. Then go to the job and work until 8PM. Then go home and work on the side project until 2AM. Relationship with my wife deteriorated to the point of almost no return as I was overstressed and impossible to live with. We constantly struggled with debt. And my brain fried from overwork and lack of sleep. People would speak to me and I would not remember it after 5 minutes. It took a lot of time to get back to normal afterwards.

In hindsight, starting a side project was a terrible decision for that time. I should have made sure to safeguard the health of the family. We should have moved back to the city. We could have moved to live with my parents for a while. Anything would be better than the path I took, in my arrogance and need to provide for my family the way I decided is the way to go. The same financial independence would come, with far less stress, if I stopped to reevaluate what can be done - and talked with my wife more. When someone asks me for advice, I always say - do not risk everything for the chance of success. With family, it's family first.

I agree that men do face some unique social challenges, but none of those are present here.

Yes, why should you expect support from a spouse if you aren't doing anything for yourself? This goes for men and women. Of course both parties should be allowed moments of vulnerability, but I thought it was pretty cleat that my statements were in the context of a long-term struggle. If my wife gets fired and has a bad week, I'll be there to support her and would expect the same in return. If she has a bad month, we'll sit down and have a serious talk about what she needs to do going forward.

If the only support you're getting is "man up" then maybe you should find yourself a different social circle and/or partner.

"He for she, she for he" means just that. It explicitly does not mean "He for she even when she isn't there for she, she for he even when he isn't there for he".

If you expect people to "support" you whilst you make no personal effort then perhaps you should reevaluate your outlook on life as a whole. That isn't how things should work in a healthy relationship.
