Surely they'd just use tools from regular information theory and Bayesian inference? Quantum theory is just one particular application of information theory, where uncertainty is directly controlled by physical processes rather than simply due to imperfect knowledge.

"fifth evolution of our technology over our six year history" reads: "it still doesn't work, we aren't sure if it can, but need more investor cash"

Their rosy projections of how they expect battery systems to magically materialize and double in density over the next few years to make this device actually work are also quite funny.

A does not in any way imply B. I strongly doubt that a non-negligible number of OLD users restrict themselves to using only OLD and automatically reject in-person advances. OP's "options" are still the same as before: all the singles in his physical meatspace.
How much does the basic science end up directly used in the careers of the medical professionals? My understanding is that much of the training is preparation for med school, but the underlying concepts more or less aren't used at all while on the job (except for pharmacists and biochemistry)
Having not used Codecademy, I'm curious: were you really able to get nearly 10 years of value out of it? My understanding was that it was mostly to teach people how to code to an intermediate level.
Sorry, didn't see this sooner. Word2Vec was just an example of an easier-to-understand embedding (it is actually frequently used as an input to these language models, actually).

The process of encoding the input data stream to an embedding is done by a NN. The part that tripped me up when I was first trying to understand it is that the encoding is not like encoding elsewhere in compsci. It isn't trying to convert the input to a well-known encoding format or anything. The "encoder" is just the name of the neural-net that is converting the big, multi-dimensional input into a single-dimension, fixed-length vector. The "decoder" is just the neural-net that converts it to output. That fixed-length vector is entirely meaningless to anything other than the two neural-nets trained to generate/consume it.
This makes no sense. This has nothing to do with the tech and more to do with every team's natural push and pull with build over buy. It's completely pointless to respond to someone who didn't get their DoorDash order with "see this is why you should just make food at home." It completely ignores the reason someone chose to order takeout in the first place.
ah, if you wanted to say it that way in English, you'd say

"If you >don't< want to meet people don't use Tinder"

the way it's phrased means (unambiguously) that Tinder sucks, and Tinder doesn't work

I documented everything in excruciating detail in this GitHub issue [1] — but in summary it was RAID5 created by mdadm (to replicate what the Drivestor 4 Pro does via ADM—it doesn't have ZFS as an option), and bcache set up on top of that with an EXT4 filesystem.

I don't think your analogy fits very well. Trauma happens outside the medical system, trauma surgeons attempt to patch people up. 'Iatrogenesis' refers to conditions that are caused or worsened by medical interventions.

Barotrauma is the term that describes the mechanism through which ventilation damages lungs. Ventilators were studied scientifically and found to not help with pneumonia.

After posting my blog post I figured out specifically how the antidote for oxygen poisoning got memory-holed in 1955. There was a little protest in 1959 about how the New Science didn't work very well for carbon monoxide poisoning. My post did cover the studies in the early 2000's confirming the validity of the Old Science.

I don't think they even realize that is what happened. You can see the flawed thinking throughout the entire description of the experiment. They anthropomorphized websites, imagining them to have the abilities that the humans behind them have.

That's probably the big thing that people should learn from this, I think this is a pretty common misconception.

"Frankly, people make too big a deal about generics."

I think there's a lot of confusion brought in from languages where generics are a bigger deal than they are in Go, because when generics came in to those languages it was like turning on a light.

However, if you map out the problem space of "what did generics solve in those languages", rather than obsessing about the solution, what you find is that Go's interfaces, combined with the structural typing ("static duck typing" basically, rather than having to explicitly declare conformance at declaration time) covered quite a bit of the problem space. And that's what matters, whether the problem space is covered, not whether the problem space was covered in exactly the same way as some other language.

People who either have never programmed in Go, or only spent long enough with it to try to program "(Not Go) in Go" (e.g., "Javascript in Go"), and didn't learn how to use the tools Go has to cover the problem space, end up vastly overestimating their utility in Go, and vastly overestimating the sort of problems you can't use Go to solve. They're like "How can you program in a language that doesn't cover the 'generics' problem space?", and the answer is, "You're actually right, I couldn't! But I can use Go, because it actually does cover quite a bit of the problem space, just in a different way than what you're demanding." Interfaces DO NOT cover all the space, I would never dream of claiming otherwise, but they cover a lot of the space. There's even some problems where I've found Go simply outright the best solution because of some particular thing I can use interfaces to solve.

I'll actually kind of miss the "How can I do this without generics in Go?" questions on /r/golang. They're fun, and with the exception of "data structures", generally I didn't just come up with "a" solution, but with a good solution.

You'd be surprised with what's perceived as unaffordable for many "poor" college students and early-career professionals, many of whom are helped by student loan money and the Bank of Mom & Dad. In my experience, bad financial decisions in the pursuit of lust isn't one of them.
It only takes a quick scan of the comments in this thread to see that there were people who received this email while hosting a static github.io website with their personal blog. That's a public website. Do you honestly think that anyone running a personal blog has no business doing so unless they are knowledgeable about the details of European and California website privacy rules? What a brilliant way to stifle public speech.

Your answer will probably be: "personal blog don't fall under these regulations, so it's a non-issue" but that's exactly the point: these researchers scared a bunch of people into spending time to research a law that doesn't even apply to them, yet the chance that some random from Europe would send a GDPR request to their blog is essentially zero, because even privacy crusaders are smarter than these Princeton research to know that it makes no sense to do this.

Even if the general principle were ethical (not that I agree), the Princeton researches should have used a curated list of websites that could reasonably be expected to receive GDPR requests.

I do feel like we're reliving the seventies in more than one—among them, crime, inflation, the end of an unpopular war, the rise of social and racial movements, and the Nixonian backlash against them. Biden makes for a very credible Carter, and who is Trump if not Nixon? But while the seventies saw a backlash against the sixties, it was not a defeat for the forces of the new social movements. They regrouped and consolidated their victories in many other ways. They organized minorities and fought for their rights through the courts, they graduated and became the educators of future generations, they staffed the philanthropic foundations, and they entered the culture industry. They accomplished all this despite how much the majorities that gave Nixon and Reagan their overwhelming victories never wanted any of it.

We may have seen the end of the most noisy and obnoxious phase of wokeness, but its aims may very well survive in a more mature and effective form.

Walk-Through Metal Detectors Can Be Hacked
Correct me if I'm wrong, but the assumption that there are big, "commented-out" sections of DNA has recently been challenged? I read somewhere (likely here) that those sections were somehow involved in folding proteins or DNA strands.
> This is such a huge and rich subculture that is like 90s hacking all over again.

You can build your own modules from PCBs too, if you're handy with a soldering iron. It really does have some cyberpunk vibes.
> It’s fine if it’s tinder, but what are you gonna do when the same will happen with your bank application

That's literally how loan applications work now: banks compute all the information they can glean on you to determine a risk index.

Do something the algorithm has considered risky and you get charged more for the same amount of money another person can get. And the algorithm considers it "risky" to not use banks; if you have no history of having owned a credit card, for instance, the bank trusts you less than a person who has carried all manner of debt for years (but paid it down consistently).
> And if you do something illegal over Tor and you haven't been arrested, then it's only because there are bigger villains than you; you're not a high priority

Many people cast Tor in a negative light, as if it's some secret criminal underworld where the only .onions that exist are illegal and wrong.

Personally, my Tor usage is about 90% clearnet sites, and the other 10% is to explore onion-land just out of plain curiosity. So I visit some chans, read personal (hidden service) blogs (mostly political conspiracy rants) and read a lot of infosec stuff, and that's it.

I don't regularly get ambushed by horrible content. You have to go out of your way to find that stuff, so I am thankful for that.

> "Microsoft really built XBox out of everything they learned from working with Sega on Dreamcast."

People say this but I don't think it's really true or, if it is, it certainly wasn't apparent from the worm's eye view. As the Dreamcast was dying off, there were actually two rival console proposals within MS; one was from the Windows division (whatever it was called then) that became the Xbox and the other came from the Dreamcast team and was IIRC MIPS-based and, of course, ran Windows CE. (And we all know which one won.) Nor did it seem that the Xbox project had any particular interest in taking on ex-Dreamcast staff; of all the IC developers on the project, only one person successfully moved from the Dreamcast team to the Xbox team to the best of my recollection. (Remember that this era was the old Gates-led, cutthroat Microsoft where the internal competitiveness was just as high as external competitiveness. The Windows division and its leadership anecdotally was not happy about the existence of Windows CE.)

It remains a mystery to me to this day what expertise was supposedly transferred from the Dreamcast project to the Xbox project. Personally, I suspect it's a myth and the anecdotes by former executives are papering a happy face over a complicated history but, meh, what do I know?

>That seems to be highly unscientific/prone to skewing the sample.

I'd argue the emails they did send are MORE prone to skewing the sample.

If I had no CCPA plan and got an email from someone introducing themselves as researchers, I'd tell them I haven't gotten around to it, and that I intend to comply but haven't had anything prompt me to put in effort regarding CCPA.

If I got the email they did send, that would be exactly the request that makes me go do the legal research, and my response would as narrow as possible.
You are misrepresenting the statement. The full quote is

> I am dismayed that the emails in our study came across as security risks or legal threats. The intent of our study was to understand privacy practices, not to create a burden on website operators, email system operators, or privacy professionals. I sincerely apologize. I am the senior researcher, and the responsibility is mine.

He stated the negative impact they had on study subjects (including the interpretation as legal threats), accepted responsibility, and apologized without reservations. How can you possibly claim he wrote "nothing about the falsity of their legal threats"?

Researchers don't have to indicate they are doing an academic study. Ethical actions things don't become unethical simply because it's part of research.
Ah, I see. Your argument derives from an ideological reading of the US Constitution in lieu of a focus on impact, benefit, legality/precedent, ethics, and need.
I built a 100-node mini-supercomputer at ASU back in 2002/2003, to process image data from the Mars rovers (MER), Mars Odyssey, and other NASA missions. We ended up using regular dual-CPU AMD systems racked up, running the same PBS/Maui batch-processing software mentioned in this article. I remember there was some discussion of and interest in this cluster at the time, but we didn't have the in-house expertise to redesign our software (mostly old USGS systems written in Fortran, some dating back to the Apollo era) to take advantage of the vector processors. As the article mentions, this was more of a proof-of-concept than a serious workhorse, but the ideas lived on.

I'd be interested if anyone can comment on commercial bulk procurement of Pis. Any idea what the volume discounts are? And also would be interesting to know what the supply has been like for the past year(s) for commercial customers.

I've heard anecdotally that most Pis sold are used in industry, so wouldn't be surprised if they're being prioritized.
Mostly the chip shortages—Raspberry Pi has pulled out all the stops but couldn't come anywhere close to meeting demand over 2021. And they even decided to focus production only on the BCM2711-based devices for the latter part of this year.

I have so far seen a single instance where a legitimate organization sent someone a storage.googleapis.com URL. I have seen literally hundreds of phishing emails do it.

Which is to say, the problem is organizations using storage.googleapis.com URLs, not organizations blocking them. And probably Google should be doing a better job policing content on their content domains if they don't want them to be blocked by default.

(Similarly, all Chrome Web Store extensions should be blocked by default, with an allowlist for requested and vetted ones... there's simply too much malware to default to anything else.)

I'd love to block Google Drive by default too, but there is enough legitimate use that at present that would cause too many false positives, and it's a balancing act.
Yes, that is exactly what the blog post is saying. It has never been the case that you could use Drive to just share files in an unlimited manner. They used to notify about this in the Drive user interface. Now they will also send an email notification in addition to that.
I'd be surprised. Data centers eat a lot of energy, and it's hard to beat the energy density of diesel (120 MJ/kg vs ~1 for batteries) and the ability to have nearby tanks or scheduled trucks.

same prediction as always, moderation is an ecosystem that requires transparent enforcement and dispute processes.

new moderation norms will bend the economics of social media towards the reddit model: small communities, moderation primarily provided by 'community owner'.

Platforms provide a layer cake of less frequent 'nuclear option' bans on top of that -- platforms deplatforming communities so their host doesn't deplatform them.
To me this isn't as much about reading skills as it is about being aware of and remembering newer history and being able to apply a mental ruler to the observations and see what way it is heading.

That second part I consider close to critical thinking and it seems to be what people does.
Very cool. Was hoping to see Sean Connery in the README.
The emails were sent to websites that do not process personal information and are thus not subject to GDPR, so the recipients were in some cases confused about what their responsibilities would be. And though the emails did not suggest that legal action was pending, they do suggest a willingness to resort to legal action in a relatively short time frame. This caused anxiety for apparently many small-time, non-profit bloggers.

Is it unethical? I dunno. But it's nuanced, at least.
In this case, this was specifically with a single-AZ setup, using an AZ that was supposed to be unaffected.
But this is without any studying or pedagogical training. You did pretty well and so did the commentator above you.
I am just very surprised by the theme of the article. How is it that this author did not know this basic fact. I saw a video of the President speak about 2 weeks ago, and he said that if you're vaccinated you can't catch the virus. How is it that the President is saying this, when it is clearly not true. No one calls him out on it, not even Fox News.
What you're actually saying is that you are unable to compete in the American dating market, and so you're moving to other less competitive dating markets where you might be more highly valued. Obviously since this is HN we can't consider the female perspective, but if we consider the female perspective, the American dating market is probably pretty good because it offers a great number of attractive white men over 6 ft tall.
I don't think the author is claiming to be banned from every dating app, and I don't think Match Group connects the profiles of users across its owned platforms, so it's not really relevant that Tinder is owned by Match Group for the purposes of what happened to the author.

It's really pleasant that they use Dark UI patterns to try and make that text as ignorable as possible - fading, making it small, putting it in the margin and putting a hard divider between it and the primary announcement. It's sort of a master class in how to use Dark UI patterns - I'm just disappointed they didn't fade it even more, put an ad between the announcement and the context, include a webmaster@ link somewhere in there and italicize the text. If they did all that it'd look entirely like a TOS disclaimer - but they tried their best at least.

We seriously need better consumer protection against Dark UI tactics.
