We don't need to Google to find the mountain of evidence. The article starts out by saying the US has exceptionally high child poverty and spends relatively little trying to solve it:

> America has long tolerated an anomalously high rate of poverty among children relative to other advanced countries—depending on how it is measured, somewhere between one in six or one in five children counted as poor. The reason why is not mysterious. The safety-net has always been thinnest for the country’s youngest: America spends a modest 0.6% of GDP on child and family benefits compared with the OECD average of 2.1%.

It criticizes the roll-out of the program:

> That does not mean that the roll-out has been flawless. To reduce administrative barriers, the credits are supposed to flow automatically from the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) to family bank accounts. However, a significant minority of American families have not filed tax returns in the past two years—meaning that eligible children are missing out.

And reports that it's currently scheduled to expire despite great success:

> All this progress is currently slated to be time-limited, though. Democrats in Congress only agreed to implement the enhanced payments for one year.

No one read this article and thought "everything is fine". It's about how things are terrible and making it clear that we need to fund programs that help.
Minnesota is 50% of the land mass of California and 1/8 the population. easier to burn with less people affected

CA, also is largely federal forests. Not sure how florida compares to that.
Presumably you'll have less features. I wrote a web server (in the 90s, so forgivable?), and I only implemented GET and query string for the API data, and nothing fancy, no cache headers, no redirects, no multipart, no gzip, no content-encoding negotiation, etc. Some of the APIs it hosted were ultimately hacked (thru encryption of the encrypted query string via plain DES, and the key was determined), but, so far as I know, it was not itself ever compromised.
This wiki-article specifically mentions that the legal doctrine which allows interstate commerce clause to apply here stems from this 1942 precedence, where someone's growing of wheat locally for only his own farm animals was considered participation in interstate commerce (!): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wickard_v._Filburn
Yes, politically correct was cancelled, still is. That cancellation was more to do with advertiser pressure and likely advertisers not advertising on his show but other Comedy Central show. It has in no way hurt or diminished Bill Mahers audience and social reach. It was also so temporary most folks didn’t even notice…unless perhaps you were a fan without an HBO subscription.

Does he occupy the same spot on the left? Who knows? He is unashamedly liberal, and doesn’t do a wide variety of topics in a long conversation format. So it’s apples to oranges. His show is intentionally more monologuely, political panel oriented, with short conversations with newsmakers. However like Rogan his guests come from both political leanings.

> You started a hellish flamewar with this comment.

Well, it's clear after the fact, but that was not intentional. You have way more experience monitoring and tracking these threads and therefore predicting what will probably happen than any of the rest of us. I do think it's hypocritical for a government to impose sanctions for doing something (forced prisoner labor) that that government also does with its own prisoners. It would be nice if we could have an honest discussion about our carceral state without people repeatedly leaning into the idea that "convicted of crime"="deserves what they get, but only here and not there". But I understand that there are clearly now many greyed comments under here, so I don't fault you for separating the thread. And I can't predict that it won't happen again, but I'm sorry about bringing what this thread became to your doorstep.
All snake oil is intellectually interesting in some way. If you're entirely agnostic to it, then why do you even have a moderator? Just sit back, relax, and let these people continue their relentless slide into the absurd depths of navel-gazing political conflict found everywhere else.
lol - so people do people think BLM and defund the police actually had a real effect? I’m confused because black people still get murdered by cops all the time and I haven’t seen any metros defund their police to levels below what they were in the last five years. Biggest “defund” I’ve seen is not increasing their budget again for the 30th year in a row.

Weird political commentators coming into HN.

Article has no details on the reasons either. It has no clue. Just quotes stats. Btw - overall crime was down for the year. Violent crime went up 4-5%. Murder was just way higher and of course is a headline and click getter. I wouldn’t be surprised if the majority of the murder was gang related and literally no one except those in gang ridden neighborhoods gives a shit. (So no one because no one cares about the poors)
I hope you're right but:

1. His approval numbers are tanking https://news.gallup.com/poll/354872/biden-approval-rating-hi...

2. Summer is just ending and we're up to 2000 Americans dying from COVID a day, once cold weather hits the northern states we'll probably see those numbers rise even more.

3. Thanks to the filibuster reconciliation is the only chance democrats have at passing anything through the senate. If the infrastructure deal fails we'll see none of the campaign promises pass.

4. Depending on how China handles Evergrande, there's a decent chance that we'll see the stock market tank in the next 6 months.
> Running tests against different infra than your customers have to deal with is asking for trouble. What bugs will exist in the real production infra that won't in your fake infra?

We actually do pretty well testing against fake infra.

We have a large test suite that enforces the contract on our REST server API. That is implement both in one heavy server written in erlang which is the production code and one lightweight server written in ruby which would never scale but is the same API. When the test suite is updated both the implementations need to be fixed. When the client code runs integration tests we can test against the lightweight ruby code and when it passes we actually have pretty high confidence that it runs against the production code. We have hundreds of those tests and they can be run as fast as spinning up a ruby process with an in-memory datastore which is trashed on every test. Compare that to end to end tests that might fire up a set of images, terraform them into production servers and clients and run a scripted interaction or set of interactions and then throws that away and does it again.

At some point there's a tradeoff between the realism of your tests and the cost of them and how many of them you can do. The right strategy is that you want to have enough of the most realistic tests to give you a high level of confidence that your faster, slightly less realistic tests are useful, and by having those faster tests you increase your amount of coverage, and on down the stack iteratively until you may get to unit tests of individual objects.
Basically it is. Just with a nicer face. EU (especially Germany) tolerates us because they want their villas on "our" absolutely beautiful coast and islands, and a hard border to stop the immigrants (our police is pushing them back very hard and very ugly but that doesn't make the news). One might think that I'm simplifying, but unfortunately it is what it is.

Don't a lot of the corps only have it from federal contractor requirements spreading bad policies like herpes amongst the relevant linked industries?
Not so, at least in the U.S. and Canada. As per "Chevron deference" the courts are bound to defer to regulatory agencies over how to interpret ambiguous areas of the law:

Stossel saying "sensational media reporting about a so-called ‘climate apocalypse'" reads to me that he's a climate denier and his reporting was to enforce that (and double down on his favorite hate: "government").
It is still indication of a trend.

Many states have legalized MJ this way or another, and there was no tsunami of bad consequences, so even the federal politicians start to be moderately brave.

Also, legal stuff can be taxed and this is one tax that even GOP won't hate.
I bet this goes the other way, especially at the exec level. That is, the best indicator of startup success is past startup success. Certainly funding is easier, building the team is easier, and the emotional decision making is easier.

The phrase serial entrepreneur is often used.
why is it always presented as though all vaccines are equal? why is it not possible to be supportive of some vaccines and cautious about brand new ones?

this is like making the argument that all medicine is good for you because "medicine" works. some medicines turned out to be very bad for you in the long term.

This is something I am very interested in, There’s lot of work to be done when it comes to building verified and explainable learning systems (not just neural networks).

I think the verification tools are finally getting better to the point of them being useful for this kind of stuff.

Asking as someone only remotely familiar with hydrogen as a fuel: Don't you have the problem of tanks and pipes becoming brittle from hydrogen diffusing into the material? Are there existing/upcoming solutions for this? I was under the impression that this is a pretty fundamental problem with hydrogen being just a proton essentially..
In all extended travel and especially airplane travel, safety should be your primary concern. Under no circumstances should you leave a laptop powered on and in any sleep/hibernate/standby mode when placed in a bag, backpack, or in an overhead bin. The laptop will overheat as a result of that action.

With regards to transporting your laptop, safety should be your primary concern. You should always turn the laptop OFF: Select the Start button ,Click Power, Click Shut down

Wow, I'd be asking for a refund, since that would make my laptop much less usable -- when I leave work, I fold up my laptop, put it in my bag, then hop on the bus home, then when I get home, I opened it up and pick up where I left off, then repeat in the morning.

You are incorrect about the input dimensionality mattering. Let's say you have 100 high-res images with yes/no labels. If you hash the images and put their labels in a hashmap, you can say this is a "learned" function of 100 parameters which achieves zero training error on the dataset. This parameter count is independent of input dimension. Why do you think this would change when this mapping is replaced by a smooth neural network mapping?

GPT is trained to predict the input (estimating p(x)), versus predicting a label given an input (p(y|x)). So in the case of GPT you can use the input dimensionality as a "label", as another responder has mentioned. ImageNet classification
is different (excepting recent semi-supervised or unsupervised approaches to image recognition).

The ability to generalize in the typical imagenet setting is, as the article says, a byproduct of SGD with early stopping, which in practice limits the number of functions a deep neural network can express (something not considered in an analysis which only considers parameter count).
Getting started phase: was 15 min a day. Over-hyped phase: for some memory "projects" maybe 30 min a day. Now: I just use memory tricks all day long without really training. However every day, for the last 30 min of work I try to recall everything that was important that day (free recall). At the start of the workday I recall the top-3 things to work on.
> At the expense of the memory footprint because developed with Go. Hi Caddy creator!

Makes sense to me that something built in a language with more memory safety than C would use more memory, but is it really significant in practice? I use go every day and memory usage has not been a significant issue for many applications.

"Actual malice" is a confusing term for a layperson because it doesn't mean what it sounds like. It doesn't mean "not liking" the plaintiff. Instead, it is the defendant's knowledge or reckless disregard of the statement's falsity.
Thank you for the explanation! Will give it a shot.

P.S. Yes it works! Perhaps add a comments in the short version where it says

It said "proof-of-concept" and I generally expect PoC to work as presented. My bad for not reading everything carefully.
One of the things I rarely see mentioned when discussing career prospects of startups vs large corporations is how different their hiring filters are.

If you are self-taught, lacking credentials, and don't live in a major market, it can be difficult to get in the door at a FAANG. Whereas start-ups can be much more likely to take a chance on someone with a non-conventional background.

So for some of us, large corporations aren't even an option until after we've taken that startup job and the startup has done well enough that people have heard of it.

Deep Work: The Secret to Achieving Peak Productivity
I caught this a few weeks ago, so it was funny seeing it pop up on here!
Just wanted to share my opinion. I'm not sure if the number of existential threads for humanity is now larger than 200k years ago. My take would be it is probably much smallest than even 1k years ago. Nukes will not destroy civilization (it might be horrible disaster on the scale of WW2 but not civ. distruction.). Arguably we are now have better ways to adapt to climate changes and it or meteorite impact. And who knows, in another 100 years we might be an interplanetary species. AI might not be a thread like some suggests, and the up sides to productivity are enormous.
Also it ignores, as i've observed with Filipinos in Canada, that they often send like half of their paycheck back "home" . Some of them live in developed world "squalor" (like many people to a house, or taking the bus) so their families can live like royalty in a low CoL area.
And value. One of the reasons Bitcoin is so expensive is bcs most of it isn't being traded. If people actually start using it and loosen the supply, value goes down.
As Bernie is getting a bit older he might chose this election to stand down as well - but even if a "republican" won the seat it'd be a VT Republican (maybe even Gov. Scott) so that race might be more interesting than it might appear now - but the conclusion is probably going to be pretty predictably liberal.

Uh... who? I mean, yes, it's true that almost all native americans (the exceptions being the Inuit and their relatives who are more recent immigrants) are descendants of a single wave of population motion out of asia about 12kya that coincides closely with the Clovis culture.

But hints that there were people here before that have been around for a long time, starting with the Monte Verde work in Chile a few decades back.

And I don't recall any particular "mess" from indigenous americans.

I mean, scientifically there's definitely a big question of why the population density of the earlier settlers seems to have been so low (vs. clovis, which basically exploded onto the scene and went everywhere on the continent very fast), or why they are not identifiable in contemporary DNA (which very closely supports the "clovis only" hypothesis).

But there's no politics at work here. Stop it.
The point is your simple mapping with zero error on the training dataset also has zero prediction power in both the test dataset and in real life. It's learned nothing; it's at the extreme scale of overfitted.

Input dimensionality is absolutely important when determining net size.
the point is that there is too much Sinaphobia in mainstream western news outlets that means global north countries' behavior is not proportionately called out. many stories about China are unfounded and dangerous, and mostly have to do with China being technologically strong.

Nope, and yup respectively.

All the discussion over corporate tax (and unrealized capital gains) seems rooted in pathos, not practical policy. It seems unfair that some corporation pays zero income tax while people pay xx%, so people write firebrand articles to argue that it's unfair.

Nevermind that pathways from corporate income to income an actual natural person can enjoy are patrolled pretty carefully by the taxman. Total receipts might be less than if corporate managers picked a suboptimal strategy, but the operating assumption of tax policymakers _must_ be that actors are rational and wealth-maximizing. We can't write tax policy that admits certain strategy then complain that receipts are lower under that strategy than they might be, just like you can't lose a game, and complain that you would've won if only your opponent was worse.
i mean if the government wants businesses to pay for that they should just send an actual invoice instead of this awkward x% of profits. The percent model keeps crappy (ie low margin) businesses from paying their actual load on society.
There were a variety of ways for me to do so by invoking more Azure services, but I stopped trying at that point, because even after smoothing it out, Cosmos would still be 50x as expensive as a basic VM running Mongo.

But also, every time I start stringing together cloud services, I experience two things: first, exploding complexity because now I'm adding points of failure, integrations, transformations, to keep it all running; and second, this sense of "the whole point of the cloud is to simplify things, to offer canned services and features that save me the trouble of doing this in code for myself." Once I'm using cloud features to work around cloud limitations, I bail out because if I'm going to spend that time (and money), I'm going to get the benefits of something much more direct.
Severity of punishment isn't the best way to disincentivize crime. If you have two justice regimes, one where 50% is caught and punished and the other where 25% is but punishment is twice as harsh, the former will be far more effective at decreasing crime.

(Mostly) abolish prisons, and put tons of police officers into the community.
But companies don't deduct stock-based comp from adjusted EPS? It is deducted for taxes, but not deducted when the board is setting targets...very selective definition of profit being used.

Btw, I did make a quick examination and some information is not accurate. For example, I knew that NKE don't have huge stock-based comp. The reason they paid no tax in 2020 was tax benefit from stock-based comp AND "Foreign-derived intangible income benefit". In 2019, they took most of their income overseas. Sometime in 2020, they stopped doing this. And in 2021, they paid $500m in income tax.

Interestingly, their effective tax rate actually fell even though they are now paying more income tax in the US (the tax-benefit from non-cash comp is now the more significant contributor to income-tax deductions, they are still gaining 370bps of effective income tax from IP shenanigans though...which is interesting given that this was supposed to have stopped from 2018).
Yet for corporeal entities such reasons are deemed very illegitimate ... funny that.
> That isn't what you wrote. Machine don't do "What I really meant", only what you actually wrote.

This isn't code for a machine, it's a conversation. If you interpreted it in a way that sounds broken to you, please tell me exactly how and I'll either clarify or learn something new. All I'm doing is casually describing the RFC, and yes, I may have stated something ambiguously or incorrectly. Help me out here. Are you saying the RFC describes a bad algorithm or that I've described it badly?

> The TLS RFCs don't offer any opinion about how you should make trust decisions

The TLS RFCs refer you to RFC 5280 for validation, which does explicitly specify the algorithm.

> I'm sure you will continue to believe you were correct, and yet the exact steps you wrote down are going to blow up for people in just a few days

I'm not seeing how my steps will blow up, although the phrase "eventually end in a valid cert that you trust a priori" could be interpreted differently than I meant it. "Eventually end in" here is referring to the validation algorithm ending, not the cert chain. Can you elaborate on how you think this algorithm fails?

> As a programmer, I call that "wrong" but I'm quite sure you feel you weren't wrong at all, just misunderstood.

Could I ask you to be a little less aggressive in this conversation? We aren't having a fight here.

Edit: I think we're actually in violent agreement here. Your statement "But wait, after step 2 we reached ISRG Root X1, which we know is trustworthy. We were actually done!" is exactly my point. You don't need to ignore the expiration date on the old root if you have issued a new trusted authority below that root and the validation can stop there. You aren't ignoring the expiration on the old root, you're ignoring the entire old root cert because you found a new trusted cert that supercedes it. if you did still have an end entity cert that was issued via a path to the old root that did not include the newer, explicitly trusted cert lower down the chain, THAT end entity validation would fail.

Yeah true I suppose there was some bias in my assumption. I was thinking specifically about relatively well known Bay Area startups... say you're a Senior or Staff Engineer at a startup that has raised from top tier VCs then hypothetically you might be better positioned to be come that #1 or #2 engineering hire at the next hot startup, or you'll be able to get more meetings with those VCs should you start your own thing because you're already a "startup person" rather than 1 of X00,000 FAANG engineers.
Interesting findings from this map:

- Guam is a significant data/telecoms hub for the western pacific region

- There are some short cables installed in areas that don't seem to make much sense, Such as the one in the gulf of Mexico, or between Italy and Croatia

- Many extremely sparsely populated islands and archipelagos have their own undersea fiber, such as Svalbard.

Super cool site.
Of course! If the US Army switched to massively inflating Venezuelan Bolivars for use and its share of tax collection, it would have no impact whatsoever on the army or its size!
