Yes I had a Surface Pro 3 with Linux on it and it still woke up in my bag sometimes. I'd take it out and it'd be running, boiling hot and battery almost depleted.

I never figured out what caused it, maybe it was something in the firmware. Or something bumping the power button? However it was in a padded laptop compartment on its own.This was actually from full-off. Not even standby.

What didn't help was that I used LUKS full disk encryption so it would be sitting there waiting for a password and there was no sleep timeout.

In the end I found the SP3 was just not great for Linux, I had so many hardware issues. Sometimes I'd detach the keyboard and reattach, and it'd just not work. Or the pen would stop working or the rotation etc. Mind you this is around the time it came out. So a good while ago.
Not necessarily non-luxury but also the middle brands I think. But it's difficult to prove though. As a user said the pandemic also sees a decrease in supplies so it's kinda difficult to do "tests" properly.

Let me guess...you have an app like Accessibe's that the shop owner installs, which basically just puts an overlay, but it doesn't really solve the underlying problem and the shop owner still gets sued by the ADA troll farms.
There are also allegations that the parents malnourish via the NG tube to ensure they don't get deported.

The bar for libel is high in the US. Something could be false, misleading and injurious to reputation and not be libel. Particularly if the person in question is a public figure, which is defined very broadly.
I’m a bit surprised by these comments.
This seems like data driven evidence of a government policy working quite well.

Yet there are people complaining about this causes inflation and is “printing money”. The article clearly points out that most of the spending is on essentials and directly contributing to the children’s quality of life.

Not the article I would expect to see fiscal hawks on.
> depending on how it is measured, somewhere between one in six or one in five children counted as poor

This is an alarmingly high number. I've been primed by media to blame this on an inverse relationship between income and number-of-children (i.e. poor people have many babies, rich people have few babies).

Does anyone have an alternative explanation for the surprisingly high child poverty rate?
Multitude: a very great number

5 is a very good number but I don’t know if I’d go so far as to call it “great”.
The state can definitely influence the prices of goods (e.g. it can affect the price of money). Direct control is indeed infeasible.

No wonder the US president is going around kneeling like he just took an arrow in the Achilles. The US just spent tens of trillions of dollars chasing Hector around Troy while Hector had a trojan stuck right up the US' big thick yoga ass.
One thing that puzzles me a bit about the U.S. is nonexistence of viable local parties. Something similar to the Scottish National Party in the UK or Freie Wähler in Bavaria.

How come that the entire political scene on all levels collapses into just two poles, with the predictable result that many places are de facto one party places?

Why doesn't America have local Ross Perots in various corners of the country, starting their own political parties specific for one place only?
This reminds me of the classic "Anybody still using PHP" question.
Causality is such a wasteful discussion point. Most of the time you can simply look in a different, non-causality-focused direction and find enough good ideas to design a better outcome. At the very, very least it's a good idea to go multi-model with causality.
I tend to do the same about that other country. Too dangerous to name it, too many lists. What if you're on a flight that gets diverted there? I don't want to end up in a camp.
I should be able to test that this usually works though, right?
It's not inherently true. Technically, deep learning is essentially any neural network model with hidden layers (i.e., one layer in between the input layer and the output layer). You could have a "deep learning" model with a couple dozen parameters, perhaps. But at that end of the scale, most people would probably reach for other approaches that are more easily interpretable (e.g., logistic regression, random forest). So in practice, yes, virtually any deep learning model you see out there in the wild, even most "toy examples" used to teach machine learning, are going to be overparameterized.

The Delta is what government officials refer to as a “high-cost area,” a remote spot with a sparse population, high poverty rate, and topography that makes everything complicated.

I support more broadband options and in general I like TFA, but this is the sort of thing that undermines the argument. There is no easier "topography" in which to bury lines or over which to beam LOS than completely flat alluvial plain. The lines can be simply plowed into the ground and the antennas only have to clear the treetops.

>>People are doing that on FB. FB is not doing it, it's just facilitating it.

Nonsense

FB curate every phrase specifically to gauge it against their metrics and amplify it based on 'engagement' and other metrics useful for Facebook.

Note that those metrics do not include, and are in fact roughly inversely correlated with truth value, moral compass, or societal value (what ordinary publishers generally curate for). The net effect is highly corrosive to governance and society without even accounting for their amplification of intentional dezinformatsiya as part of active measures warfare.

If (and they do not even close to do this) FB provided only a strictly chronological timeline of items posted by exactly the people with whom you were directly linked, you might have a point. But it has been decades since it was anything like that.

Trying to act as if FB is merely some innocent carrier is at best massively ignorant, when FB in fact amplifies the problems for it's own profit.
It's wrong when you focus ONLY on prisons.

That's the thing people miss from the conversations. Those who want to abolish police and prisons aren't just saying shut them down and we're all good. They're saying shut them down and spend money in directly increasing the quality of life for people.

Crimes increase as poverty and class divide increases. Decrease those and you've actually managed to solve the source of the problem, rather than trying to find a solution for the consequence (increase in violent crimes).
I agree this is often the case but disagree it is always; “testing” against the api can be a canary for your new usage of their third party api not working the way you think it does.
> To claim Stossel was being misleading, they'd need to successfully argue that climate had a greater impact than forest management practices.

No. Stossel would need to prove that forest management practices had a greater impact than climate change, and that the fact checkers knew that, and that they deliberately lied.

You don't have to prove that you're correct if someone sues you for defamation. The standards for defamation are a lot higher than that.

To take this a step further, they don't even need to prove Stossel actually made that claim. The fact that a reasonable person could interpret Stossel as having made the claim that climate change was not a contributing factor (evidenced by multiple scientists chiming in that they felt the label was appropriate) would be enough of a defense.

Finally, they probably don't even need to prove that they thought Stossel made the claim, because calling someone misleading or saying that their statements are missing context likely doesn't rise to the level of defamation regardless of any of the above points.

> Russia may not be the #1 enemy, but it is certainly among the top 2 enemies and perhaps the most likely to succeed in destabilizing the US as the most powerful country.

Russia has been pretty irrelevant to US geopolitical interests for over thirty years. Their economy is 1/10 of the size of the US economy. Russia gets overwhelmingly negative coverage in mainstream US media, which proves how weak their leverage in the US really is.
Seems like the only option in their situation (and seemingly also mine) is to file a dispute with a CC. Seems like a fairly nuclear option as I simply want this dispute over the share of the cost mediated and resolved, but I guess that's just where I'm left...

An explanation for why child poverty is so high or why you're surprised that it's so high?

I think the relationship between fertility and income generally goes the other way: the richer you are, the fewer children you choose to have. You can see this broadly by comparing different countries.

There are serious structural problems with the American economy that make class mobility difficult. Two obvious ones, healthcare and child care, should be treated as urgent crises. We have policies that discourage the poor from working. And that's before even getting into the sexism and racism. (The child poverty rate is MUCH higher in female-led households or black households.)

Do you have and data or more thoughts on this?

I ask because we tend to associate the police with "fighting crime" where the reality seems to be that they are mostly "responding to crime that has already happened". There will certainly be a few examples of police stopping crime in the moment but you would literally needs cops everywhere to even try to catch a decent percentage of violent crime that is committed.
Well, posting the actual content publicly would obviously make it public, which registering a hash on the blockchain would not. "Sending it to yourself through the mail" would probably be the competition, and I would say a cryptographic hash is at least as good as a postmark, as well as cheaper.

Anyway. I wasn't talking about NFTs as they exist today. I'm just saying the original concept (as I understood it) seemed basically reasonable, before everybody went insane.
That's... not what 230 is about at all. This myth just recycles itself again and again. Why do people insist on repeating it?

Section 230 immunizes a web content company from liability for statements made ON ITS SERVICE BY THIRD PARTIES (to wit: you can't sue Facebook for what its users say on it).

No one here thinks Facebook is immune to a liability claim for its own speech. No one is invoking 230 to defend it. 230 is not applicable. Why do people keep insisting it's some kind of boogeyman that can be "revoked" to get "big tech" in line? It doesn't apply here.
There are some people reporting problems with Macs on this thread...

What is bad, because if there were one platform that would avoid this problem it would be Macs. But anyway, my phone does that once in a while too... Phones also shouldn't do it.

It's not even a hard problem to solve. There is a single piece of code that wakes a device up, you just have to not call it everywhere. If you don't control all the code, just require some kind of permission, and don't go granting it to the team that writes the system updater.
Maybe it’s like people using their tax refund as a savings strategy. If you’re good with your money then fixing your withholding and increasing your savings rate nets you more money in the long term. But you have to have self control to save the money instead of just fighting temptation once a year.
The prices on layer 2 like lightning and polygon/matic are pretty reasonable right now. I don't think its far fetched to say that the network capacity will increase with adoption.

I only have a hobby interest in crypto, but even etherum is planning on having side chains that operate independantly.

To me, crypto's biggest risk is a lack of decentralization. The bitcoin network basically votes to adopt bitcoin changes but the etherum developers can force changes on the etherum network. Whats the point of proof of stake if most of the coins are owned by the original developers? Ala Chia. Why not just run a sql database if 51% of the network is owned by a person/entity or a few. Bitcoin is pretty decentralized in ownership unlike every other coin attempting to be a currency but pooling in bitcoin has put too much hashpower into the hands of a few.

Without wide adoption, crypto is not decentralized. There is little point if the various networks retain their oligopoly.
Could you provide a basis for this theory? I think the burden is on you to establish your claim, not on others to disprove it. So far, it's baseless, supported only by:

The special sauce was establishing standards that were used across the code base that we could detect. For example, all configs were from environment variables in the form of `<ServiceName>_<DestinationName>_URL` or something. If the foobar services wants to talk to the auth service it would read the environment variable `FOOBAR_AUTH_URL`. Then, from conventions like this you can build libraries/tools and layer them on to simplify.

The way you write your deployments can also know about this convention and automatically generate the environment variables you need (didn't get to this point). I hope one day I get a chance to work on building some tooling like this, open sourcing it, and making it easy for others to adopt a similar mentality.
The two main points of interest with this leak right now:

Peter Daszak, Peter Daszak's associates and funding partners, EcoHealth Alliance (EHA), and the Wuhan Institute of Virology (WIV) have all been in tight consensus that this line of manipulation is not of interest in investigation. It was bashed as a conspiracy theory without potential, and listed as a highly unlikely origin. With this leak, all of these statements are in dire conflict. The evidence in the leak shows there may be a severe conflict of interest in protecting themselves over a full scientific investigation.

Anthony Fauci made a very specific statement that it was "molecularly impossible" and thus improbable that the virus could have been created with manipulation instead of nature. I'm giving Fauci the benefit of the doubt at the moment since government officials might be expected play dumb on secrete DARPA proposals, but his statement is none-the-less inaccurate based on the leak. There is probability to create a similar virus to COVID-19 with manipulation.

Agreed. From what I understand, "0 calories" really means < 5 per "serving." And you're correct. Nobody sprays for 250 ms.

For what it's worth...

Part of my original comment is based on the fact that I have been _carefully_ monitoring my food intake AND activity for the past 18 months.

I will tell you over that period, I wake up and weigh myself. Each morning, my scale says that I weigh between 166.6 and 168.0--without fail.

I measure my food with a scale, but I will _also_ tell you that my caloric intake varies between 1800 and 2600 calories per day.

My activity varies as well (I won't go into details).

But my weight is PINNED to 167 pounds. Day after day after day.

To me, this information just screams that my body is modulating its caloric intake based on what I eat and how active I am.

Now, I know, this is "anecdata." But I can't be the only person who has observed this.
> 2. US prisons seem to be awful. They should be about rehabilitation, but they are focused on punishment.

Just the other day I watched a video of an interview of an American person who spent time in a prison here in Mexico. He described American prison as "a hotel" when compared to Mexican prisons. There is a really good documentary about a prison in Tijuana [1] showing an example of that.

My point being that prisons in the USA are actually quite good, compared to most prisons in the world. That doesn't make them acceptable. The problem is that the general idea of the prison system in the world just doesn't seem to be working.

From Wikipedia (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cyc#Criticisms)

> ... A similar sentiment was expressed by Marvin Minsky: "Unfortunately, the strategies most popular among AI researchers in the 1980s have come to a dead end," said Minsky. So-called “expert systems,” which emulated human expertise within tightly defined subject areas like law and medicine, could match users’ queries to relevant diagnoses, papers and abstracts, yet they could not learn concepts that most children know by the time they are 3 years old. “For each different kind of problem,” said Minsky, “the construction of expert systems had to start all over again, because they didn’t accumulate common-sense knowledge.” Only one researcher has committed himself to the colossal task of building a comprehensive common-sense reasoning system, according to Minsky. Douglas Lenat, through his Cyc project, has directed the line-by-line entry of more than 1 million rules into a commonsense knowledge base."

The problem with the argument that this is crippling developing countries is that it's often the case that the top talent can't really shine in their country. They can't realize their potential, either due to the lack of means or corruption or envy or whatever. I am from a third world country and a large part of our scientists did great things because they immigrated, at the same time, there are many great minds here that to do anything at all have to partake in an endless uphill battle.

Like, I'd totally love to have our top engineers and scientists come from the West and do some amazing things here (they 100% can make a great change), but I feel that they actually just can't.

> it does so using a network with 480 million parameters. The training to ascertain the values of such a large number of parameters is even more remarkable because it was done with only 1.2 million labeled images—which may understandably confuse those of us who remember from high school algebra that we are supposed to have more equations than unknowns.

This is one of the key misunderstandings are still deeply rooted in people's minds. For modern DL, a large part of the learning comes from "internal" data points, in this case the pixels of the image, as opposed to the labels. If you count the number of pixels, you will likely get something like 1.2 trillion, more than enough to justify the 4.8e8 parameters. It's the usage of internal data that prevents overfitting, NOT the random initialization and SGD as claimed in the article.

Another way to see this is: if you need more labels than parameters, how can GPT3 have ANY parameters at all? It is trained purely on raw text data.
