> Here is the thing, if COVID is like the flu even with heavy measures to prevent the spread, what would it be like it we just didn't bother with restrictions?

There's 2 movies on 1 screen when it comes to the actual stats surrounding Covid-19, so I'm not going to argue that with you.

I'll just ask you about what's serving as the "control groups". How are, say, Amish Country PA and Florida doing? Forget any stats about "cases" you can come up with for a moment: how are normal peoples' actual lives going in places where masks and most preventative measures are less common? Are people living their lives more or less normally, or are these regions wastelands of disease and death with survivors roaming the streets begging for medical attention?
To all the ones making fun, yes his point about firing and it being fine is a problem. However, any IT team that shows me a dashboard that can actually measure attacks I’m going to be skeptical of. At best you’re seeing probes and you don’t know the intent until it’s too late and then you comb through the logs and find breadcrumbs that no monitoring tool told you about. A port scan is not an attack.

The more likely story is the IT team used this as a way to try to get more budget because politicians don’t respond to anything else (whether or not the budget is justified, impossible to say from the outside). Or they were incompetent and truly believed their firewall was measuring attacks and they stopped them all.

Overloaded servers likely is just bad engineering because there’s many tools (many/most free or incredibly cheap) to help with that. Heck, SO, one of the most trafficked sites on Earth, ran on a number of Xeon machines. I suspect their IT infrastructure was poorly optimized.

For a time they are limiting our ability to transfer money out. We talked to support so we'll see what happens . We only open registration once a year for a month. With our event being canceled (pandemic) we did have a lot of refunds. But we've been using them 10 years prior without issue.

Yes do it! I did it and you'll not receive criticism, that's just anxiety talking. Be clear at what the code is, why and that you may not maintain it as it is just a proof implementation. Most good humans understand that all researchers are not the-one-and-perfect coder. The bad ones are too busy arguing with others to even notice.
If you publish your paper with code, you'll get more citations I would assume. When I look at research papers, one of the first things I look at is code and/or data availability. It would be even better if it's easy to run though and that's definitely not always the case.
Heh; better to use a non-empty list (AKA a tuple) I suppose. It's also wildly inefficient compared to:

average (x, xs) = total / count
where (total, count) = Data.List.foldl' go (x, 1) xs
go (total, count) x = (total + x, count + 1)

In a naive interpreter, this will do one pass rather than two. A smart compiler like GHC can probably optimise away the entire list, getting a tight numeric loop (e.g. https://dl.acm.org/doi/10.1145/1291220.1291199 )

Yes, it's funny in a way that Brazilian culture is influencing Portuguese's other than the reverse (since Portugal colonized Brazil).
I guess during the internet era, having a bigger population is a big factor on "culture pressure" or whatnot (there's more Brazilian online content than Portuguese, or any other lusophone country).
Hitler didn't do his thing in a vacuum. There was an opportunity for him, circumstances, values of the time, the trauma to Germany what happened in the first world war and after it, competing ideologies like communism, political instability in Germany, inflation, recession etc.

So maybe the person could go back in time and discuss with the negotiators at the Versailles treaty after the first world war. Or maybe try to inject some economics education to try to prevent the hyperinflation.

A thousand times this. A working demonstrator of a useful idea that is honest about its limits is so valuable. Mover over most commercial code is garbage! :)
"compromised" means that it looks like the service was taken over by somebody else. That can mean website defacement (ex. "Hacked by XXX"), database ransomware or any other way that a bad guy can compromise a service.
Amazon's is great in most cases. I forgot to cancel my Prime at one point (I was switching to the student price), and it renewed. I opened the chatbot expecting to have to wait for a human, but the bot refunded the charge with nothing more than an "are you sure?" question.
Which you will find by looking at the income data, or any news article that covers income stagnation if you want the distilled version for easier reading.
That's an interesting timing given the bigger context.

Sure, the right hand does not talk to the left hand most of times and there's a "separation of concerns", still, there might be something to it.

Anyway, this is an important step in fighting cybercrime.

So I have decided not to sell my position ATM but feel it is only fair to report that currently I have a loss of $156.16 + whatever the selling fee is.

I made a critical mistake in placing a market order instead of a limit order when I purchased this and ended up overpaying about $0.80 per share but even so I would still be down.

I may be making another error by holding this over the weekend, I guess we will see on Monday!
Well I'm still grieving Chef Watson.

It probably doesn't count as successful since it didn't make money (I suppose this is why it was retired) but it was great at suggesting recipes from whatever ingredients I had, and ingredient pairings I wouldn't have thought about.

I still haven't found anything that works like it.

Which propaganda?

1) You cannot predict the future, but expecting that current situation will hold indefinitely isn't a safer bet either. I think the best you can do is observe the trends.

2) Of course, I would recommend anyone to take the more compensated route, trade or college but it is probably easier for someone of average academic aptitude to become a good electrician than a good surgeon or a good programmer. That is the point.

3) What are the interests? I heard quite a lot of horror stories regarding the interest rates on college debt. Interest rate for non-trivial principals is the most important parameter of any debt.
Actually, you may monetize RSS already, at some point, by subscription, the same way some monetize their email newsletter:

set a subscription-based one with premium references; once paid/subscribed, you have an authenticated access (with a HTTP auth or token) to a specific feed.

Question is, is the monetization worth it at the syndication level only or also with/at the source? and if it gathers from many different sources, how does it manage access to distributed contents?

And how do you manage further syndication down the road? Is the value in the act of curating contents you syndicate, or in the contents themselves? Or wouldn't the two go hand in hand?

Hello from the UK where we've mostly followed a policy of "let it rip", albeit that's sometimes been disguised.

We're fucked.

We've had very high rates of death, and we've destroyed our economy.
Not sure why you attack economics?

It works really well to eg predict and understand the impact of tariffs or taxes or deregulation.

Yes, economists can't predict recessions in advance. And economics also tells you exactly why: the efficient market hypothesis tells you that if people knew that stock prices were going down next year, prices would already react to that knowledge today.

Yes, absolutely, and don't worry about how the code looks. So long as someone else can download your code and run it without issue, you're good to go. I've worked on multiple computational neuroscience papers and pushed to have the code published alongside each paper in every case. Not once has it come back to bite us, and if anything, it seems to get us significantly more citations.

Do it. There's no good reason not to.
> The entire concept feels like it's driven by managers trying to impress their managers

It's cost cutting. Customer contact is always treated as a cost center.

Therefore, the only relevant question for its management is "How can we provide the minimum acceptable level of service, at the lowest possible cost?"

In general, the answer to "Why does X suck?" is to ask whether the company sees it as a profit or cost center. See: HR.
As a long time user of both, it seems to me there's a fair amount of elitism on android side too - it's just more branded towards technocratic ableism. I.e. "I can use a device that's difficult to use, so I have competence".

Used iphones are verifiable to be reliable, so there is a good aftermarket for them, as opposed to Android phones. At that point the elitism argument falls conpletely apart.

I’m curios: If you have funding that gives you multiple years of runway (as stated earlier ITT), why didn’t you raise the contribution to EUR 25k and turn the UG (Haftungsbeschränkt) into a fully limited liability company (GmbH)? Wouldn’t that be one of the first moves when funding is in, to give the founders peace of mind regarding personal liability concerns?
I can't imagine any two English accents as far apart from each other as are the Portuguese accents of "standard Globo TV presenter in Brazil" and that of the Azores.

I grew up on and off in Brazil (Rio de Janeiro and Brasília) and later spent 20+ years in the SF Bay Area. Once in a while I'd run into old-school Azoreans who'd lived in the Portuguese towns (Santa Clara, Newark, San Leandro, Half Moon Bay, Pescadero, Castro Valley) for a few generations and it was almost impossible to understand them until I started listening occasionally to the Bay Area Portuguese radio station. I'd mimic those accents and got a bit better at understanding those folks, but with cost/benefit ... Brazilians have said I now sound Portuguese, and Portuguese people say they can understand my Portuguese better than a normal Brazilian's.

I'm not sure how it's changed in the last decade, but in many SF Bay Area and Central Valley towns there are Portuguese "Sociedade do Espirito Santo" (Holy Spirit Society) halls and Catholic churches where Portuguese/Azoreans maintain their traditional festivals and music.

I think Neto's shut down its huge Santa Clara restaurant/market and reincarnated in a strip-mall/sausage-making operation, but at least a couple years ago you could still go and get an excellent Linguiça sandwich.

EDIT: Sociedade Espirito Santo, Neto's
We were building a chatbot to use on a website until we realized how customers where using it. Most people were frustrated with something and needed help.

People who wanted to have a conversation did it for fun and had no real need for our services. We couldn't tell them how tall the Eiffel tower is.

Maybe there is a time where you want to have a conversation like the examples in the article. But I don't ever find myself wanting to talk to a human in this manner, so why a chatbot?

Have you ever watched the sci-fi show The Expanse? Have you seen how they interact with the AI? They ask a question, it provides an answer. It doesn't even use voice most of the time. It gives you the answer without trying to be sassy about it.

> DRM free has never really been their thing.

Do you not remember the videos they did for early bundles? "It's pay-what-you-want, DRM free, cross-platform and helps charity".
> So AI is magic

No, this is absolutely the wrong takeaway from the article. NN's are not magic, they are completely understandable in terms of how they work and what they do.

However, they do not (easily, if at all) allow the construction of an explanation of why, given input X, they produce output Y. You cannot (easily, if at all) construct a theory of how they generate outputs. So you end up settling for (fairly, or even remarkably suprisingly) accurate predictions, but without the sense that you understand how they are generated, even though you are 100% clear on the mechanism.

That's not magic.

> There are a lot of USEFUL tools on this planet which do not fall under that umbrella, and there have always been. AI is just the latest one we have.

The point of the article, at its heart, is precisely to ask whether these NN-based approaches are in fact science or not. It's not insisting that they are, but pointing out that they are create a gray zone that is qualitatively different from the 3 examples you offer as other non-scientific approaches to understanding. Why? Because they operate in a domain still legitimately filled with much of the language of science, but not much of the technique. That's not true for spiritual practice, traditional medicine or meditation.
> You are opening a can of worms here considering that Galego is officialy a language, not a dialect, and it's basically very very similar to Portoguese,

True, you are right. I stand corrected.

The difference between a language and a dialect is often just politics.

The problem is that people still can't detach age of consent from pedophilia. Being a pedophile is about being attracted to kids, meaning you get aroused from the bodily characteristics of prepubescent people. If you are attracted to a 13yo that looks like a 18yo then you aren't a pedophile, but if you are attracted to a 13yo who looks like a 13yo you might very well be. Having said that, you still should be banned from interacting sexually with such young people because of the extremely imbalanced power dynamic that can arise, plus the fact that we rightfully consider children of such age still not able to decide for themselves.

All pedophiles break the age of consent, but not everyone who brakes the age of consent is a pedophile.
Experience with Rails and Hotwire has been very positive so far.
> But it's unfair to block a guy that talked about a real flaw in Grammarly's plagiarism checker, at least pretend that you allow free speech and take down that video for a random reason specified in your ToS.

See italicised section, it suggests there's a promise of free speech on Google that are somehow reneging on. I am just saying that this is a mistake, and now loads of people seem to be mad at the idea that I'm attacking "free speech". One of the reasons I thought it shouldn't be here is that it's fairly complex topic that IMO is orthogonal to the case in question because it raises all sorts of thorny side-issues that distract from the main thing: someone got booted from Google quite unfairly.
Amazon won’t accept returns of low-value or misdelivered items, and instructs customers to throw them into their wastebin for a refund rather than have to process them.

7 months ago, 624 comments were posted in a discussion about Amazon returns neither being painless nor simple. My favorite is this write up noting that returns are only processed if your predicted future revenue exceeds the return requested:
https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=27333273

But in general, Amazon won’t honor their purchase protection policy for high value items without extensive argument and delaying tactics, which puts shoppers at risk for precisely the purchased that most need protection.
How do you know?

So what is your conclusion on that: should the border be contested? If so, this would lead to a war. Would the citizen of both countries be happy about it? Or do they prefer to live in peace?

The only people interested in rekindling these kind of conflicts are the ones from Kremlin (note: not Russians, because Russians just like any other normal people don't want any war). For everyone else this would just lead to endless suffering.

Release the code as-is. It's alright if it's not clean and organized, research code is usually crappy code (no offense given).

Not very wise to export your (assumed) copyright-infringing activity over to a third party that has complete records of who you are. Folks have been sued for less.
Exactly; Steam is so successful because they make it easier and quicker to buy games than it is to pirate them, and reward you with features for doing so (achievements, playtime on your profile, screenshot storage). Also, piracy of games specifically is less appealing when you might just download a free crypto miner or custom RAT on the side (remote administration tool).
Many journals now require relevant code to be published. Those journals that don't are likely to be lower impact journals, but also are probably moving towards requiring the relevant code to be published. The reviewers are likely to complain about the code not being available, so you can defeat one review hurdle by publishing it. It's generally better for science if you publish it.
PayPal closed an account of mine after 20 years without explaining anything because I logged in one day while still connected to my VPN.
I think the big problem is that there are so many different forms of DRM, content media/formats, and playback devices that even a fairly educated and highly technically literate user can't be sure when they buy something about exactly when or how the DRM will rear its ugly head and bite them.

Statistics are not theories. Some forms of NN do not require models. And the whole point of the article is the contradiction of the claim "how we interpret the results are all theory-driven."

TFA does not contain the word "objective". That is not the claim at all.
The thing that's surprising to me isn't that big corporations will do their damndest to rob people blind, it's that within minutes/hours/days after reading this thread, there will be a horde of people who read this article and smugly decry crypto saying there's no use case or purpose for it.

Just is in programming, if you've abstracted away to the point that you're no longer even doing the task you started with, you've failed.

I don't care that you really really want a solution to P = NP; you can't have it. If you try to force it, you will pay the consequences.

I don't care that you really really want a single standardized interview for what is essentially several dozen distinct positions, even if they all "use computers". You can't have it. If you try to force it, you will pay the consequences.

If you suggested that companies should have completely standardized interviews for salespeople, lawyers, and executives, all because they "talk to people", you'd be laughed at. Change it to "talking to computers" and they lose the thread.
