This helped me a lot too: https://tim.blog/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/dreamline.pdf basically you write down exactly the lifestyle you want, figure out how much it will cost per month and work your way backwards to get that number. It's usually cheaper than you think.

Just from reading "I value autonomy, creativity, family, and comfortable lifestyle." without any other context tells me a 9-5pm gig at Google (including leaving at 4pm on the odd Friday to see your kid's dance recital) sounds like a good fit.

I'm the weirdo who'll take revenue splits and equity deals, roll the dice on random startups, and move somewhere where I'm completely illiterate. If you leaned towards that though, you'd probably have a post asking how you could get a job at crypto company in Signapore :)

So all this "censorship" talk is really an XY problem[1], then.

My honest opinion is that most people who cry "censorship" don't care about truth or actual freedom. They just want their shit to go to the widest audience possible. I'll change my opinion when more of the "censorship" crowd acknowledges that while they strongly disagree, FB (or any other website) has every legal and moral right to "censor" them, because that's also what freedom is about. You can't be for freedom only when it favors you.

You're unironically advocating for us to do one of the more evil things that China does.

You're over-complicating this.

Facts come from studies that have been published which are disproven four years later when finally repeated.

Try to use either of those solutions, and you'll be hit with a "Schedule a call/demo" wall, have to chat with their sales team, etc.

You can train a model in <30s with ML Console. Two clicks: 1 to pick a dataset, 2nd to click on "train a model". No wait time or sign-up required.

There's a very good reason for this: ML Console uses a very different approach, as all computations (data pre-processing, model training, etc.) is written in Javascript and runs in the client.

This makes the app orders of magnitude more responsive than any competitor (and hosting it is so cheap that I'm offering it for free during this beta phase, something these services wouldn't be able to afford).

With that being said, cloud-based solutions like these will always have their place when you need to train on terabytes of data, or squeeze out 1% higher accuracy with some state-of-the-art models.
>"Climate Feedback, a subgroup within Science Feedback, labeled two of his climate change–related videos as "misleading" and "partly false." Stossel's situation is similar to mine in that the fact-checker attributed to him a claim—"forest fires are caused by poor management, not by climate change," in this case—that his video never actually made."
......

>"Stossel eventually succeeded in getting two Climate Feedback editors to admit that they had not watched his video—and after they had watched the video, they agreed with him that it was not misleading, having noted that both government mismanagement and climate change have contributed to forest fires. But Climate Feedback still did not "correct their smear," according to Stossel."

This is the new regime we have created for ourselves. Many of you folks reading this are extremely high IQ, and yet you have supported this system that delegates the responsibility for the ideas you are allowed to consume to knuckle-dragging morons.

Somebody should stop and think about the kind of people that a job like "fact-checking" will attract. It's not high-paying, is inherently boring, and reminds me of a security guard kind of position. I can think of two categories:

1.) Hardcore ideologue hall-monitors who passionately believe in a "cause" and, based on my extensive interactions with activists and religious fundamentalists as a kid, have thinking patterns based in tribal, overly-emotional narratives and tend to be quantitatively illiterate. (You will not find many people who ever took calculus/statistics in either a Pentecostal church OR a social justice protest.) My father is one of these activists, has surrounded himself (and by proxy, me) with these people for decades. The ends always justify the means, and the only information they accrete from the digital firehose is content designed to monetize their confirmation biases.

2.) ne'er do well types, often from privileged backgrounds. You know the type: That person who has travelled to all sorts of very interesting places all over the world (on their parent's dime), provided they had a beaches, nightclubs, and hordes of other western hedonists. They kind of fall into these relatively unsupervised, non-demanding, low-paid but not low-status jobs at non-profits. (I used to do pro-bono work for various DC non-profits, and more often than not my work would be wasted because teaching one of these trustafarian idiots how to use the web apps I built for them was harder than writing the goddammed app ever was.)

We can't trust these people to be in charge of what is true. We can't trust ANYONE, and that's the entire point of the Enlightenment era philosophy from hundreds of years ago. We're just relearning these lessons now.
Exactly. I did not wanted to respond anymore, as the downvotes discouraged me to continue the discussion. I believe the “they are taking our freedoms!” do gather more attention.

The Japanese decision making leading up to the declaration of war on the western powers was complicated and involved many political actors. Inter-service rivalry wasn't the official reason for the declaration and wasn't the most important one but I'd argue that in the counterfactual world where it did not exist Imperial Japan would have managed to avoid that particular unwinnable war. I'm basing this on having read Tower of Skulls: A History of the Asia-Pacific War: July 1937-May 1942 by Richard B. Frank this last summer.
Self-certification has been a big thing over the past few years. It doesn't make much sense to me unless insurers are planning on rejecting claims when previous self-certification claims can't be verified.

There are always casualties to policies of "fact checking". You have witnessed yourself being one. I think it would have been nice to have some better policy or conversation in place for what happens when you become the one erroneously fact-checked, because instead what's happening now is it just happens in the shadows and by the time it happens to you it's too late and you're stuck with this system that actually just works counter-intuitively to the issues that are the most important to you.

It's sort of like the slow eroding of freedoms and transition to fascism that people seem to be fine with because "protect us against COVID" which we're all fine with it until that policy is flipped on them and happens to impact them.
The mental gymnastics to contort labelling of posts as defamation is so laughable. There's nothing defaming about "we had X group review this post and they found it was False." It doesn't matter if X group was incorrect in their assessment- what matters is that statement ("group reviewed and their finding was --") is purely true.

That's not defamation of character (which would be "this poster is lying"), it's a true statement about an opinion that was reached ("fact checkers consider this article False information"). It's a subtle, but critical distinction. They don't have a case, IMO.
You literally flew across the room? I've been shocked a fair number of times -- the worst was when as an 11 year old I felt around in a bare light socket with my finger in Kenya, where they use 240 V -- and don't recall ever feeling pushed in any particular direction.

Indeed, that Kenya experience was terrifying precisely because I was paralyzed. I made an involuntary "aaauugh" sound and shook until the lamp fell over, which was fortunately pretty fast.
Yup - same platform, same infrastructure, only limits is on some of the features that are sku-gated to higher level plans. Nothing privacy or data related different.
The world is more complicated than you’re letting on. Democracies have complicated tax codes to incentivize certain behavior and also as a political tool. Legislators need to use tax incentives to ensure their base continues supporting them, and to win over new supporters.

Before you say “that’s messed up! Legislators shouldn’t do that!” Think for a second how anyone would possibly win an election and retain their power without that tool. I guarantee you couldn’t do it.

I’m all for simplifying our tax code but it’s not as simple as “this is all BS and those who make the rules are dumb.”
It's certainly different than logical implication, but "imply" in common English does not mean logical implication.
People like to think of businesses as rational. Financial ratios have meaning. But businesses are evidently very susceptible to pseudoscience. They seldom hold management practices to the same standards as finance. So you get bunk like Myers-Briggs tests and Agile "velocity," which, unlike real velocity that needs units over time, is unitless and inconsistent "story points" over time.

It isn't harmless. It is sand in the gears. Especially when human mismeasures and biases need to be kept out of ML systems, baking bunk into systems results in lasting damage.

These "fact checkers" are nothing more than a means for big tech and big media to push their increasingly authoritarian "progressive" narrative. Until more people realize this and just walk away from FB and other platforms it's going to continue. There's hope though, look at the relative readership / viewership of independent journalists and podcasts relative to mainstream media. When CNN has a clip of a reporter standing in front of a bunch of burning buildings with a chyron that reads "fiery but mostly peaceful protests" even the dimmest among us has to see that they are not a news organization. There are plenty of examples for every other mainstream media outlet as well.
No, that’s not absolutely not an assumption you can make. Neurotypical people don’t think that way. Fair has nothing to do with it. If you believe that’s normal, you might want to talk to a professional about whether you’re on the autism spectrum, or if you were raised in an abusive household (ie, by narcissists).

Getting a diagnosis might make the rest of your life easier.
My understanding is that ketamine therapy doesn't involve many doses of ketamine over a long time, but rather a handful of guided sessions over weeks/months.

Don't choose a color personality and then exclude team mates based on their "opposed" colors, I beg you. You can like fables, but we can't regress that low.
When I run into this I’ll try to block out some time to just get started on a small part.

Usually once I’m working on it I’ll keep going.

It also helps me to change my scenery, e.g. spend the afternoon at a cafe while working on it.
My wife went through the therapy. Three days a week for two weeks. It was hell, she changed as a person. There was a lot more expression of anger, she described it like having gasoline poured into her veins when they were already on fire. But, a month later, she was able to interact with her family members again. Without PTSD triggering for the first time in years. It really reduced the control PTSD had over her life. I'm not sure if it was worth it though.
I’m not sure that I took this away from the article. Looked like they just didn’t go into detail. They mentioned storing data for keeping track of equipment health. To me that sounds like a super broad stroke that would be equivalent to historized time series data as well as contextualized asset data.

I’m not familiar with the standards you called out (not an aerospace engineer), but I would imagine it’s similar to what we do in the controls engineering and automation space.

I’m actually really curious about what software/methods they use to contextualize assets and what those data points are. How do They digitize the equipment data that comes from visual inspections/manual testing.

I wish it was a little more detailed in general.
The Current State of Play in Autonomous Cars
A thousand times yes! :) This is my entire bet with this project: People are gate-keeping ML usage behind "you need to first understand the math and take a course in statistics", yet no one would ask you to "understand how compilers and CPUs work" before writing a simple mobile app.

Knowing the underlying math and engineering is of course still useful for those that want to go the extra step (squeezing out .5% accuracy, or training a model on 1TB of data), but for all normal people out there ML should be as simple as loading up a webpage and dropping your data.

Thanks for the support!
I just got off the phone with Canada Post because my package had not shown up on the Canada Post tracking system when the package was handed off from USPS to them yesterday. Guy on the phone said they've been having "issues" and he can't do any service tickets or status lookups because their internal systems are all offline for the next 6 hours due to "unplanned maintenance"
So fact checkers were invented.

No, fact checkers existed for decades before social media. Even before the internet.

I've worked in newsrooms as recently as the 1990's where there were fact checkers. Usually nice people with many very large, expensive books to double-check things.

But when the media companies became beholden to Wall Street instead of the public, the fact checking departments were the first people cut in the name of "maximizing shareholder value."

That was followed by consultants ( * cough * Broadcast Image Group * cough * ) who constantly pushed for more and more "breaking news" hype and convinced news managers that it was more important to be first than to be right. The public ate it up and it became a feedback loop.

I could go on, but this isn't the place for it.
The article mentions the mother being there at the time to turn it into a lesson about not trusting strangers or the internet. The child was 10 years old for the incident - at that age most children have been in public school for a few years and quite possibly heard much more horrible "advice" from classmates, and have likely been unsupervised many times around electrical sockets. Hopefully their parents or guardians have educated them about the relevant topics to avoid such an injury. The default of trusting Alexa like a family friend (instead of a potentially dangerous stranger) is evidently not tenable, but I don't see how any internet "smart" device can ever be trusted to that level due to the chaotic nature of the internet (and of humans).

EDIT: I don't mean to conflate kids giving each other bad advice with an internet full of greedy and malicious actors. I just mean that children in public school are pretty likely to hear other children give them potentially lethal advice/challenges/etc. and need to be equipped with the ability to listen critically to strangers, and the ability to differentiate good ideas from dangerous ones. At least in the public schools where I grew up.
Easier to just inspect the chimney dust.

I wonder how many children have tried to poison Santa.
Truth, real truth, never changes - which is why it is so important to be slow to declare it. Our best collective understanding at a particular time is exactly that, but that is different than truth or fact, because often that understanding turns out to be wrong, which is why it is so crucial that dissenting opinions are heard.

Urinary tract issues are not that common. They would have to pretty much take higher doses, long-term. It is not a concern as far as this therapy goes.
The issue is that nothing is really cost free. Windfarms are better for the environment than alternatives, but they still have a significant impact. And that will increase if the best (low impact) sites get used up, and we still need to find space for more.

I think reduction in consumption has to be part of the solution too.
The fact that you can do even do this should highlight how bad the 110v American sockets are.
With the 220V UK style socket this never results in anything happening.
Does this imply that the Sv numbers from the article are the artifacts of potential fixed point theorems that describe or relate to the physical systems the Sv non-dimensional numbers appear in, or my apples to oranges comparison is really an example of what someone would describe as a fixed point?

It's definitely something to keep an eye on. But people would be able to get through many sessions before being at risk.

Aye matey
I see a lot of so-called software experts fall into the exact same category as the author of that book... believing themselves to be experts just because they worked in the field for a while, despite having no scientific training, or any relevant training for that matter, no serious studies backing up whatever they promote, nothing except for a lot of gut feeling and on-the-job "hands-on knowledge", exactly as the author of this book who believed himself to be an expert in communication and psychology despite lacking even a basic understanding of that.

We should apply the same kind of scrutinization when it comes to the software industry IMO. Just because you wrote code for a few years and managed a team later, doesn't mean anything you learned is applicable to anyone else. Imagine doctors going around experimenting on people and "learning hands-on" what works and what doesn't. Or even electricians or plumbers... yet, here we are, and I feel like it's exactly what we're doing with software development.
The urinary issues are in people using 100-200x the ketamine you might use even in regular therapy.

Which key?
That is the point I'm making: if we're conservative about what facts go into fact-checking, then fact-checking can be valuable.

We are not conservative about fact checking and I gave an example of how I have been a casualty of this.
>Even if you limit it to the most egregious cases that just shifts the problem. What's egregious and what isn't?

It implicitly shifts the undertone of everything that isn't fact-checked on the platform from neutral to true. This is not a bug but a feature, as it provides the plausible deniability by blurring the line between "no tag since we can't fact-check everything, duh" and "no tag because we tacitly agree with the narrative presented here even if it is untrue".

This seems pretty dreadful. Most shops have the kind of documentation that Greenspun has students generating here, but few of them ever actually consult it; in the real world, especially in elite shops, security is an engineering problem more than a management problem.
Isn't there an issue that if you take two years off, in the meantime someone somewhere else is doing the same topic and bangs it out and steals your thunder? Does this kind of thing ever happen, or is it more of a theoretical possibility?
The article just says that the patent could be a reason that the white-noise system didn't take off, but also notes it could be due to regulations. If you make your bulldozer with the beep-beep alert it meets regulations everywhere. If you make it with anything different that might not be the case.
