The 1943 NN compu sci model corresponds to a 1943 brain model, sure. NNs in an ML sense arent this model.

What does any modern NN compu-sci model correspond to?

You're making a genetic fallacy here: that since the origin of X had property P, so must X. Eg., marriage was historically a legal contract of ownership, so today it is a legal contract of ownership.

The brain has nothing akin to back-propagation, nor supervised training. "Neurones" are not "data about house prices". According to any even highly simplified neurological model, a compu sci model of this, would compute with activations in a radically different manner than a dot-product over domain-specific data.

They are also not a weighted directed graph. In a sense almost any mathematical function is a weighted graph if one takes edges to be, eg., general function composition; and nodes to be input/output domains of those functions.

However to say a "NN is a network" is presumably meant to be more significant than this trivial observation that essentially "all functions" are.

In particular everything which distinguishes a NN from any mathematical functions are operations such as supervised training, backprop, regularization, pooling, etc. And these are not expressible as functions within this graph, but they are functions over the graph.

So any actual "network diagram" presented isn't a network. Its a bad diagram of a mathematical function which also includes functions over this diagram.

In any case, a neural network -- in the ML sense -- is neither neural nor a network. It is a function of a mathematical function that has no isomorphism to anything in the brain.

I will not say that it is publicly acceptable to discuss Taiwan independence in China, or any other politically controversial matter for that matter. However I also believe that is irrelevant: I think you are overly attributing the forming of opinions to censorship, and not giving enough credit to people's ability to form their own opinions despite censorship.

Yeah, I had to sign the paper lease and various addenda probably ten or twenty places, which was a bit much, but I thought the process was smooth and reasonable. It's pretty neat the agent is required to explain everything you're signing in plain language. It means the lease is written clearly in the first place, doesn't have a bunch of extraneous items, and the lessee knows exactly what they're agreeing to.

I don't have a stamp and haven't needed one for anything in many years living here. I understand it's basically required for purchasing real estate, but I haven't done that yet.

I think the ATMs just close if they're in a building that closes; it's not because the ATM itself can't function at night. It's been years since I personally saw an ATM that was physically accessible but unusable. But I typically just use conbini, so I can't claim to be an ATM expert. I just know it's never been a problem for me.

Good point on apartments; I've been fortunate to not have experience with those paper-thin homes, but I do hear a lot about them still on Japan-based forums and such.

I made my own HTTP app. server and JSON database on top of that.

The server accepts .jars over HTTP with code (and files) so I can hotdeploy while developing on live on the entire cluster in real time. My turnaround is about 1 second.

The JSON database allows for schema-less simplicity, and it has all the features you need like indexes, relations, multi crossref and security (and then some, like global realtime distributed while still being performant) in 2000 lines of code.

My question would be how easy is for this molecule to cross the blood brain barrier. Perhaps if toxicity is very low you can diffuse it somewhat by maintaining high levels in blood, but my understanding is that molecules with a weight of more than 400daltons have trouble crossing it.

It might be also true that a certain percentage of lyme patients have some level of meningeal inflammation that might facilitate crossing more.

There is ample evidence to support the idea that testing oneself is a great method for increasing retention (review and meta-analysis: https://www.gwern.net/docs/spaced-repetition/2021-yang.pdf).

Also, you seem to have just read the CFA and CAIA once. If it is detail-heavy, there's no way for most mere mortals that is going to stick around for months. To really learn detailed, dry material in a way that sticks, you have to immerse yourself in it for much longer than that. Most people only retain details that are part of their work on a daily or at least monthly basis.
Sort of, but the reality is that when everything is structured the way it is in Japan, you don't really feel like you need much space in your apartment. That said, I lived there when I was single, and it would be very different living there with my young family. But I knew young family with houses when I was there and it seemed comfortable. I was also in Hokkaido (mostly Sapporo), which is not quite as dense as the Tokyo area (though still very dense compared to most of the US).
>>It [Coinbase Support] is a joke

Indeed! But it is not funny.

This is far less bad than the people in the article, but the Coinbase system had me locked out from May until August for an utterly trivial error - their Plaid system couldn't resolve the type of bank acct or account name, so I couldn't transfer in or out, despite having been a customer since 2015.

Opening dozens of support tickets and emails attempting to resolve the problem got either auto-responses, or generic boilerplate replies - it was literally impossible to get anyone to actually look at the problem, and I pretty much gave up.

Finally, to their credit, in August, a person actually looked at it, and had me use the old two deposits of $0.xx and tell them the amounts, and boom- I was verified again.

They would have saved everyoe a ton of trouble (and not cost me large opportunity costs) by simply having this as a fallback option on the menu. Even though it takes a few days to transfer, I prefer it to the massively insecure Plaid option anyway.

The bad UX design is enough of a problem, but their lack of support when real money is involved is inexcusable — no support for a search engine, fine, but with real money, nope. There really ought to be a law requiring specific service levels when money is involved...

If they weren't pretty much the only game in town in the US...

There is substantial evidence that the vaccines make a first infection less dangerous and not really much evidence that they inhibit later immunity, so you might want to take a step back and reexamine things.
They could have used a more restrictive term if they desired, yet did not.

And frankly, political stances have caused more losses to state secrets than religion. EG, "commies!", or alternatively state ideological "long live the king, for the kingdom!".

Democracy, and capitalism are alternative ideologies. The means for profit is on the list, and all the nuances in between.

Take profit over health (cigarettes companies), profit over culture/society (facebook), this is an ideological stance.

Let me just say these guys do not care who they hire. Many of my colleagues had zero technical competence, and once we became friends, they told me they paid someone to attend their interview. Many never even went to college, but paid agencies to fake their transcripts.

Moreover, once I had a colleague who was fired for not doing any work for 6+ months. This individual then reported half the office to the US Gov for visa violations, copied us on those emails, and then threatened to sue everyone for discrimination. Us employees were naturally shocked by this, so we googled this persons name. The first result was a previous lawsuit where the individual did the exact same thing at a past company -- we were floored. Our employer did not do even the slightest due diligence on this person or really anyone else frankly.
Not saying they weren't UX nightmares, but that's where people were and that's why they switched off. Communities liked TS3, there was little delay, it was private, but you had to protect your IP.

The current deratings are down to 5.5A for 12-circuit wire-to-board applications:

https://www.molex.com/pdm_docs/ps/PS-43045-001.pdf

But that is allowing a maximum temperature rise of 30C, it uses 18AWG wire as you say, and it's supposed to be capable of 600V AC/DC; it's not supposed to decompose/leak more than 5mA when exposed to 2200V.

All of that is overkill for inside of a PC. If you're willing to limit the operating voltage to 12V and can guarantee that your board side conductors have big, multi-plane copper traces pulling heat out of the contacts to an actively cooled heat sink, you can get away with a lot that you couldn't if you were using the connector as, say, an in-line disconnect in some conduit for a 480V servo drive.

Nutrition science, sigh. But here's the diet:

The MIND diet recommends:[9]

Whole grains: three or more servings a day

Other vegetables: at least one a day

Wine: one glass a day

Green leafy vegetables (like spinach and salad greens): at least six servings a week

Nuts: five servings a week

Beans: at least three servings a week

Berries: two or more servings a week

Poultry (like chicken or turkey): two times a week

Fish: once a week

Olive oil: use it as your main cooking oil.

The diet discourages:[10]

Butter and stick margarine: more than a tablespoon daily

Pastries and sweets: more than five servings a week

Red meat: more than four servings a week

Cheese: more than one serving a week

Fried or fast food: more than one serving a week

The M is for Mediterranean, if you couldn't tell. I wouldn't mind a glass of red wine. But I'd like to have cheese with it. Via https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/MIND_diet

I strip it down to a bare minimum.

Some people probably don't realize that you can have a full-featured git-push deployment including a PostgreSQL database and Redis on few hundred lines of simple Bash code. The only exception to keeping it bare is security (proper SSL, SELinux, etc.).

- 1 cheap VM per project (I prefer Digital Ocean at this time) + snapshots

- No CI (run tests locally), no staging until later

- Little bit of Bash to configure everything, no IaC

- Simple systemd services (+ maybe systemd socket activation)

- git-push deploy... bad release? repush previous version

- Automatic system updates and log rotation

- Few auxiliary scripts for Rails console (./railsc.sh), backups (./backup.sh), etc.

- External error and performance monitoring, but keeping raw logs on server (rarely need them)

- Stable CentOS/Rocky Linux with long time support, rootless access

I teach all of that in my book https://deploymentfromscratch.com/ and I basically run my oldest side-project on the book demo which is similar to this. Some people might not like Bash, but it's surprisingly refreshing, and I keep my script flexible and idempotent:

Set everything up after providing IP address and domain name in settings.sh:
$ ./setup.sh

Change the database configuration after changing the config file:
$ ./setup.sh -u postgresql

Deploy a new version:
$ git push production master:master

Later on I would separate the database and have staging, but it's overkill for my projects right now.

The funny thing is that apart from having CI and staging we could have the same setup at 2 early stage startups I worked on...and it would probably last 3-5 years with maybe an in-place server spec upgrade, no kidding. People really like to overdo operations and you know where overdoing it leads to? Mistakes. You maintain K8s and then forget to do something basic security-wise that almost kill the company (seen).

Yes, exactly the same for diary, which is why lacto-vegetarians are distinguished.

“vegeterian” ≠ “ovolacto-vegetarian”
I had an experience recently with Door Dash where after you order, their app will suggest buying additional items from 7-11. They give you a ten minute window to add items. I assume the driver will pick them up after your order. I decided to go for it and order an impulse item myself. When I got to the checkout to pay, it wouldn’t let me because I guess it was after hours, but the app was still suggesting it to me. It was incredibly frustrating as a user to have a service suggest an option that was impossible to fulfill.

I wonder if maybe there are two different teams at Door Dash working on this, one doing the upsell and the other actually handling the fulfillment. Seems they need to talk to each other more.

Even if Apple Maps doesn't have as much data as Google, the experience is so much better. Makes a lot of sense that Google is copying it as per the article.

Whenever I use Google Maps, it constantly harasses me about how there's a slowdown ahead, puts a little tray across the bottom of the screen hiding the information I care about, with no way to get rid of it except tapping and other nonsense. I searched throughout the settings and can't find anyway to turn off all these annoying pop ups it has. Someone needs to write an ad blocker for it.

Apple Maps not only doesn't constantly harass me with meaningless notifications I can't dismiss without taking my hands off the wheel, it also shows traffic lights, and the voice over instructions include them as well. With Google I often turn too early or too late because it isn't very clear exactly when to turn. With Apple Maps that happens a lot less because Siri will flat out tell you, turn at this light, turn at the next light, etc..
Sorry, I should have been more explicit: YAML should never, ever, be edited by a human. Neither should JSON. But they can be read by a human, and copy+pasted, which makes them easier to troubleshoot.

All of the problems you list of YAML are due to humans making assumptions, rather than having a program do all of the serialization/deserialization. YAML has a ton of useful data structures and they do not cause problems when you use a real parser to populate or interpret them. It's also a superset of JSON, so it's clearly not poor in comparison to JSON.

It's also not a configuration language. It's a data serialization format.

really something they care about since once that paper's published, it's onto
