So, to subtract as much woo as I possibly can... single photons in the double slit experiment interfere with something, and the theory is they are interfering with photons from other times.

In a not terribly rigorous experiment, confirmation was found after spending some money raised in a kick starter.

I won't write it off completely, but it would be interesting to replicate on the cheap with strictly solid state gear.
>Are consoles cheaper “per transistor” or sth? If so, why?

Yes. Because of scale and optimization.

But that's more of a side-effect than the real reason. It's mostly about having a device you can switch on and instantly play. No installing drivers. No picking parts. No incompatibilities.

I've been building my own PCs for over a decade but I'm losing interest. It's such a hassle. I do 90% of my gaming on my Switch. Games I had on Steam for years and barely touched I suddenly play through in a week on the Switch. Why? Convenience.
There is also a cost to hiring folks via an interview process that does not clearly signal, “we have thought about it and decided you belong here.” It reduces their willingness to ask for help and admit ignorance.

Oh interesting. Do you have a source by any chance?
Financial costs bud. Trying to estimate the “productivity lost” is one of the squishy numbers you make up to prove a point you already formed.

Measure dollars in versus dollars out. Not theoretical dollars that may or may not happen in the future.
> Individual greed is often limited by the fact that we are all humans.

No, its not, and its obviously not if “business" and “State” greed are not, because those things don't actually exist as separate things, they are just names for special cases of combinations of individual behavior.
Playing on a TV is different than on a desk. Of course you can do both with a PC, but often you don't have your PC in the right place to play on the couch in front of your TV.

There are console-exclusive games, depending on which types of games you like those exclusives can be extremely interesting.

A PC is more expensive, almost always has been. If you need a desktop PC anyway, that might not matter much as you only need to factor in the better GPU for gaming. But with the GPU prices right now even a mid-range card is more expensive than a full next-gen console.

This list is good but clearly targeted at ps & Xbox. The arguments are a bit different, but even stronger, for 2021's highest selling console (switch)

- even cheaper, and not a case of paying later for $70 games

- exclusives: by far the biggest draw to switch

Interesting enough to spur Valve to launch a portable competitor so it'll be interesting to see how those pros hold up.

I don't think the argument here was to provide a single path with maximal dopamine-per-action.

The original statement was to make sure repetitive and boring paths weren't highly effective.

Your own characterization of grinding in WoW fits that description. It may be repetitive and boring, but it's not highly rewarding so those who engage with it do so because they are enjoying it for it's own sake. This is fine, the players can do it if they enjoy it and won't make themselves suffer through it if they don't.

(My own experience with WoW and the term 'grinding' in general does not make me inclined to use it as an example of an unrewarding activity that players don't force themselves to engage in entirely for the sake of the in-game results, but maybe things have changed... it has been awhile.)
Captain Obvious suggests that Emo Philips was not joking about throwing anyone off the cliff, but about the very fact that political subdivisions in religions pretend to be about which moral values are more correct, instead of being dirty power games of self-proclaimed authorities covered up by thick layers of ideology.

>they should not be the star example for user privacy

They are not perfect, but I can't see anyone who does better overall.

>iCloud backups are turned on by default

I believe it is good default, as 90%+ of their users (would) care more about accidental data loss than privacy. When that changes, Apple will change the default.

>client-side detection system for "child pornography"

Yes, that's a very controversial move. But they made it client-side because it's more private than server-side.
IE never killed hardware. It kept legacy Enterprise technologie alive ( eg. ActiveX )
It just works is a huge one. Driver issues and OS versions are such a huge pain even now. Many games require brand new drivers (which very often very very unstable), and the MS store required your windows version to be up to date, and everyone has their story about windows update being stuck for months on end.

That's before you get into the "openness" of PC - if you want to play a game on steam but your friend has bought it on the Microsoft store how do you play together? How do you voice chat? What do you do when the Xbox services don't work when docker is installed?
I had been an avid latex note taker since my college days though I used Emacs Org Mode. I consider writing your own notes in the form of a well-typeset book extremely rewarding as it kind of forces you to distill concepts better. For instance, I would actively seek out additional historical origins of a formulae or an associated anecdote or analogy for helping others to better understand the concept. My motivation largely was to write in a way such that it would help others understand better.

This exercise inspired me to build my own learning platform from scratch that generates a latex-generated books at the end of course completion. The idea is to have interactive conversations while learning and at the end the personalized book is generated for you. You can see an example of personalized Python book here: https://tinyurl.com/3xfsunj9

You can see that the conversations between learner and Primer highlighted as red sprinkled throughout the book.

The learner doesn't need to write any equations or code examples as it is generated for them. They can further customize the notebook by adding notes or questions using prompts.[1]

Right now there are two free courses on the platform[2], and 5 more would be added by the end of the month. But the goal is create self-paced computer science degree.

The problem is that "Summarise a project you have worked on in a few minutes" isn't a task you normally do at your job either, software engineers job is to care about the full picture and ensure it all works together without missing any details, making quick explanations that are fit for small talk has nothing to do with it. If the engineer is expected to talk to a lot of non-engineers then that might be a good signal, but for other more technical roles it isn't needed at all.

So your process will select for people who love to smalltalk about stuff, they will look great. But many great engineers doesn't love to smalltalk about stuff, it isn't a part of being good at the job.

I feel like people should separate RenTech and Medallion.

RenTech funds which are not Medallion have experienced losses similar to any other .

The idea is great: looking at past events to understand how a particular event such as a sunny day in Manhattan or what did the Yankees do the night before (and millions of other things) influences the price of a stock.

If you have enough data you can go back and test if a signal is really a signal or just random coincidence.

But somehow it's not working as well as it sounds on paper, I think one of the reason might be that signals like that are very weak and they fade over time so you need leverage to make sure that you cash in while the signal there (because it's weak and subtle) and also you end up losing a bunch of money by chasing a signal which is on its way out.

What subscription management software do you use for your SaaS or projects in 2021 these days? I see a lot of well deserved praise for Stripe, but wondering if there is something else that integrates with Stripe, Paypal, etc, all the rest of them.
I've had multiple Asus laptops (UX305, UX330 and most recently S435UA) and all of them ran Fedora flawlessly out of the box. Granted, none of them had Nvidia GPUs which is the usual pain point of desktop Linux.
Again, that’s just not how vaccines work. They are a libertarian nightmare because they require societal buy in to be effective.

You can however cache values in 3NF better down the stack (i.e. you can cache a lookup of a string to a PK and then only use PKs down the line).
> I believe it is good default, as 90%+ of their users (would) care more about accidental data loss than privacy.

I think you're right about the numbers, but I don't understand why that justifies the default. Why even have a default? Why not just ask users what they want? It's not a hard question, and it even has the benefit of helping inform users about the feature.

> Yes, that's a very controversial move. But they made it client-side because it's more private than server-side.

So? Either it respects privacy or it doesn't in this kind of discussion. Lauding them for violating your privacy but not as much as they could otherwise is like lauding a mugger for only taking half of the cash in your wallet. Yeah it could have been worse, but that doesn't change the nature of their actions.
No, because the influence isn’t necessarily peers.
No. Most "advanced" ML methods are extremely difficult to get to work in finance. You have a limited dataset that is low signal to noise ratio, highly non-normal and heteroscedastic. Crucially, you can't easily make more data (and no, synthetizing new price data is not an option in most cases). This makes the upfront costs very high, and you then have to prove that you can beat the performance of simple models, and not just by a little. A complicated ML model that offers a 10% better risk/reward ratio (e.g. 2.2 Sharpe instead of 2) is a complete failure, because you traded a simple model that is easy to reason about intuitively for a total blackbox that is very difficult to understand.

Sure, you've got the quintessential marketing induced ML overlay that many firms do, but in all cases I've seen so far it's completely defanged and really there only so that it can serve as a marketing move.
I'm with you on the benefits, but for those of us who successfully use a PC as a TV console, console exclusives are a real kick in the teeth.

This is terrible, and while IANAL I’m confused why it doesn’t fall under ADA requirements to provide accessible versions of materials - especially school materials.

Except there is a huge market of strategy gamers who buy them strictly for the single player campaigns, and many enjoy the slow and boring aspects of maximizing output before decimating a particular level. So, there's no actual differentiator in your example.

Much like the parent commenter, you appear to be insisting that there can only be one type of gamer per game type, and that a developer is making a "mistake" of some kind by allowing people to play the game in their preferred manor. But outside of FPSs, that just isn't the case.
If you want a job, about the last thing you are going to want to say is that you were in a hurry (meaning "I didn't care about this job enough to pay proper attention to this"). This is going to be your calling card, so it has to look great! You make it appear as if you are penalizing people for going the extra mile to complete all the requirements.
No idea about the PS5, but the PS3 controllers couldn't be used on Windows at least. PS4 controllers can be used, they work out of the box (USB only if I remember correctly?) - played lots of Dark Souls 3 with them on my PC.

How does the machine know what it's telling us is correct?

This is an extremely complicated philosophical question, and it's not limited to machine-generated text; there's already plenty of human-written blogspam. In order for text to be valuable it has to be trustworthy. That is, we have to be reasonably convinced that the author has made some effort to be accurate, to correspond with some mental model of the world which itself corresponds reasonably well with objective reality.

Otherwise it's just an elaborate generative fiction tool writing fanfiction about tyres to sell tyres.
The real question is - HOW can we control data that can be screen-shotted like images? Is it really a "genie out of the bottle" or is there some technical way that we can evolve file formats to ensure the owners of an image retain control of the rights to use and reproduce that image?

Couple of years ago, there's been an article posted here: How to Recognize AI Snake Oil. https://readhacker.news/c/4cSun It looks like this was the case with Zillow.

Most of commenters here insist ML and data science have nothing to do with this failure, and put all blame on the management.

I don't by it's not failure of ML. In the last several years I consistently see Tech leads oversell the possibilities of ML and theorizing that ML could solve many problems with deep learning.

The result is always modest. Error margins for real world metrics that involve location data are around 20-30%, which is somewhat better than analysts predictions in Excel, but not enough to rely on them. I saw very competent ML engineers try to improve a model, take a huge amount of satellite imagery, tracking data, etc., train their neural networks for couple of months, and only improve error margin by 1 percent point! (e.g. 25% -> 24%)

Yes, that's true. Thanks for correcting me.
It’s not necessarily driven by fitting in which infers liking the same things other like so you are in the “in group”. It’s preferring things just because others do, no reward of “in group” membership required.
How can it be exploitative and disrespectful if the person is enjoying it? You're projecting your own preferences on others, and insisting that anyone who doesn't fall into that arbitrary category is either "wrong" or being manipulated into enjoying something.
For me it is the ability to jump in, play for 30 mins and get out any time I want. The guarantee that everything that has a label of my console on it will work instead of my PC specs running it in a sub-optimal mode or not running at all. The fact that I don't have to worry about dealing with Windows or PC in general just to play some games but biggest of all, the ability to just pack it up and take it with me wherever I go is immense. That said, I'll be moving to a different city in NA soon kind of semi-permanently and am thinking of building a home PC for work+gaming.

Well if you want to stick to the hard facts then it's even simpler: copyright infringement is not theft - those things are covered by entirely separate laws.
If you want to play the kind of games you'd play on a console in a similar quality, your figures will only pay for the GPU, and that just barely. The prices are completely insane right now, PC gaming is not very affordable today.

And PC games also cost money, at least if we're talking about similar types of games as on the consoles.

why do we need to include our sexual preferences in our work?
I was on a Jury for a trial that lasted 2 weeks, dozen witnesses. I came away with the impression that there is what happened, what they saw, what they perceived, and what they remembered. And then memories change over time.

Doesn't help that most witnesses are ambushed by circumstances. They're muddling through life when something untoward came out of left field. And so weren't forming long term memories.
This event happened back in the eighties and there have been changes to warning symbols in response to this and similar incidents.

ISO 21482 specifies an extremely scary-looking radiation symbol [1], to be placed inside such equipment (radiography/radiotherapy etc) as a last-ditch warning. The message might well get through even to a barely-literate scrap thief.

Didn’t she show up at some IEEE show?

From what I understand, her career (non-tech, and non-modeling) didn’t suffer from her stint as a Playboy model (I have no idea if it helped, either). Europeans have different ways of looking at sexuality than Americans or British. Not necessarily always a good thing. I know that at least one porn star was elected to the Italian Parliament, and that “flashing” was a fairly standard part of her stump speech.
