Sadly this kind of small sexualization is very common in most manga media. I grew up in Japan and thought this is normal, only finding out later in a Western country this is appalling. Once you have a more global perspective, I see this is certainly a concern, as Japan's gender gap in the STEM area is worse than any developed country (can't quote the number for now, but take a look at the World Gender Gap Index). The problem is compounded when some people (like ones in this very thread) brush this off as "oh this is just a drawing why so serious haha" when modern-day sexism is just a collection of many, many small things.
Where to process data, and how to add them up
Do you know how they deal with DNA? Does it fit in a single voxel? (Probably no). Are strands of DNA and RNA treated in chunks in a chain of voxels? Does the simulation perform transcription?

For the same reason we can't have pick-proof locks. Total security is physically impossible. You have to defend every access surface with equal flawlessness. Attackers can all coordinate on a single point of failure. By nature of this equation, any time you make a part more secure, attackers will simply focus their efforts on the next weakest link and go at it again.

Immunity can't prevent disease from entering your body either; They can only make it harder and actively respond to intrusion.
> Minutes of the McMinn school board meeting that led to the book being banned show that while some parents said they supported the idea of teaching about the Holocaust, they had problems with some profanity in the book. They also had an issue with an image showing a nude woman, who is Spiegelman's mother. "We can teach them history and we can teach them graphic history," board member Mike Cochran said, according to minutes of the meeting. "We can tell them exactly what happened, but we don't need all the nakedness and all the other stuff."

Economists generally agree that land taxes are some of the most "efficient" and societally beneficial, because they encourage full utilization of the land.

By having a land tax, you push people towards societally more productive outcomes. E.g. a SFH in city center would have a very high tax rate, encouraging redevelopment to multifamily.

Income taxes do the opposite somewhat, by discouraging more labor.
All of them, but to be fair the bottom half of the rack is mostly multimedia gear that serves the whole house and a 6U gaming PC.

I got a cease and desist letter from apple around the same age and see it as an achievement I want to frame in the living room (it was when the iPhone 4S and Siri was released. At the time, there was a way you could get Siri working on a jailbroken phone but required running a Siri server that scrapped keys from Apple’s servers. A lot of people were doing what I did a charging for it, so I made a free and public one. I remember the day my VPS provider sent me an email with Apple’s request to shut it down lol)
No horse in this race, but I do find the abstract idea of a purely on-chain digital reserve currency with community governance (i.e. Olympus DAO & offshoots) to be a fascinating idea.

It's easy to point to early price fluctuations caused by speculation and yell "ponzi", but it's actually not dissimilar to the mechanisms & motivations that resulted in the first central banks (e.g. Bank of England) -- except that this time the benefactors are early adopters instead of the crown.

Time will tell how this plays out. Keep in mind: The Central Bank of England was established in the late 1600s, but it wasn't until 1921(!) that the last bank stopped printing their own bank notes -- and some Irish & Scottish banks still today retain that authority given their charter.

Element is great. I feel like it's more of a replacement for social IM than work IM (Like RocketChat). I've been using it for almost a year.

An easy way to deploy a matrix server is through Freedombox [1]. After installing it, enable Matrix and Coturn [2] in the dashboard and enjoy.

By the way, if you don't want to use FCM then download Element from Fdroid, otherwise you can download it from Play Store

I wouldn't concern yourself with it too much. Both of your statements were entirely reasonable and polite in tone and candor. Hair trigger, induced outrage is common among Englisch. They are much less prone to such gewinsel in public, the knives only come out online for whatever reason.

Anyway, it is important to recall that with every move that is made, it will disturb someone else. Impudence should be avoided, but the trivialities and whims of Englisch are of little concern.
The last 3 years were mostly dominated by transformer models. BERT, GPT-3, they are all scaled up and variations on the transformer model. It is surprisingly good and long-lived.
Yeah, that's a bad look for both dgraph and the new company imo. What guarantees the same thing ran by the same people won't have the same issues again?

Not only that, if the core team moves to the open source product to "rebuild" the same features, isn't that way too dangerous IP-wise?

This is also one of the reasons I didn't use dgraph: Open source core doesn't work. All the companies that were sold to now have nowhere to go for support.

That's not particularly useful. Just keep a copy of the installer of the demo program. (I always do that anyway.) Instead of having a complicated self-modifying thing, the demo version could just delete itself, or overwrite itself with a stub program.

My favorite example of late is http://royal.io. You can purchase a token (NFT) that represents fractional ownership in the licensing rights of a musician's song or album, and also comes along with other perks (such as free or discounted merch and concert tickets). The proceeds from the NFT sales help fund the artist's project, and then you participate in the upside by receiving a share of royalties for holding the token.

You can, legally. You have that right. You can legally jailbreak a supported iPhone in 10 minutes and sideload all day or lldb attach to whatever you want. Nobody will stop you.

But Apple doesn't want to support an open platform. That's their right. They don't want it to part of their ecosystem, their brand, or provide the avalanche of non-negligible support costs.

The distinction here is important and rarely addressed in these discussion.
It'd be interesting to know if besides mental capacity, is there a physiological advantage required in the water for this to be a successful strategy, as there seems to be on land.

"CNE" is a fancy word for "exploits" that I had to look up, for anyone else not in the know of this specific terminology...

And yeah this is a blanket statement you can use for any application: nation states can get at your data using "CNE" regardless of what app you're talking about, presuming there always exists an "E" for your client (which is indeed a fairly safe assumption with these featureful OSes and apps). Not sure why you're applying this argument to Wire but not Signal.
There is a lot of learned behavior in wolf hunting. Juvenile wolves go on hunts without direct participation to observe many times before participating. There is even specialization where faster members of a pack take on different roles.

The real difference is large wolf pray doesn’t escape the way seals can onto land but are significantly more dangerous to the wolves. Such prey can both out run them in most cases or severely injury them in direct confrontations, so wolves need to use deep snow, river banks, or extreme exhaustion methods. It’s actually more complex hunting behavior than Orcas vs whales, though adapted to different environments.

In terms of communication Alphas don’t seem to micromanage hunts the way Orcas do, but they will call them off etc. Which might relate to land being a more variable environment, you don’t run into random ditches in the open ocean.
Yeah, that's normally considered bad.

Ask HN: Projects vs. Products
Hi there! I was hoping to start a discussion and get some thoughts from others on how their teams currently work, as well as what they've seen work well (and not so well) in regards to long lived products vs taking a project based approach.

Some context on my own current position... I work at a large company as an engineering manager of a cloud engineering team. Think CCoE or platform. Most of our engineering org comes from on premise backgrounds
For academia: I expect that FAANG will continue to produce larger and larger language models as well. Probably new improvements in multi-task learning to keep on increasing model size - this will probably take ideas from relational / contrastive learning. Few-shot /zero-shot learning is also something that's come a long way the last couple of years. There will probably be a bunch of secondary papers about language models as well - hypothesis on how they work, explanation of corner cases, ways to deal with bias and fairness.

For industry: Feels like “making BERT / some other language model do things” is a common job nowadays. On the more engineering side - I think we’ll see more tools to quickly and efficiently fine-tune language models, especially tools that allow a human in the loop.

Overall it feels like we’re getting to a point where there’s a pretty standardized approach to simple NLP problems like text classification - no more real feature engineering, just throw BERT at the problem. I expect for this trend to continue - with more and more of a focus on dataset creation and validation and less of an emphasis on model architecture.

I also think there will be a rise in multi-modal language models - combination of language and vision models for example. But I think the more interesting application will be combining dense language model representations with sparser tabular data. Think of trying to predict a users likelihood to buy a product given a review of another product (dense embedding of text), but also their clicks over the last 2 hours. (sparser tabular data) - this feels like a much more common problem people have.

To stay updated: read papers (arxiv-sanity.com is a lifesaver) and watch talks (usually just on youtube or a lot of uni reading groups are public on zoom nowadays).
Scuba diving around Monterey CA we sometimes observe sea lions killing mola molas (ocean sunfish) for sport. The sea lions bite the fins off but don't eat more than a couple bites, they just leave the crippled fish to sink to the bottom and slowly die. One time I saw about 10 half dead molas laying on the seafloor flopping around.
It’s funny how people use that 2% to reinforce their opinion that COVID isn’t a big deal. But we have a virus that is very communicable just racking up deaths. I feel like we are approaching the point of everyone either being vaccinated or having had COVID.

> who even cares whether the smiley face is white or black or whatever else?

If it doesn't matter, why not let people choose whatever they like? Personally I'm also wondering if having specifically white and specifically black thumbs-ups does not introduce more racial bias rather than the generic yellow default that I was used to, but I did notice people of color using specific colors so perhaps it does matter, at least for some of them. The rest of us can just be on (the afaik neutral) yellow, presuming that makes everyone happy.
The context was that one single new bridge that has taken a full one-third of the time that it took to build a railroad across the majority of this country. Given the standards put forth by OSHA, I strongly suspect that construction of that new bridge has not been the proximate cause of even one death.
> If we want this mess to go away, we need to find a way to change the incentives globally.

I think there should be more political pressure behind banning crypto currencies and companies that deal with them should be cut out from banking system.

I would be even okay with just doing it for proof of work coins, if people want to keep doing their libertarian experiment it's okay for me, but at least remove this insane incentive to use more and more resources.
PSA to others who come across this thread: Absolutely be collecting email addresses and general contact info (with their consent of course) of your fans or page participants so that when the platform disappears, you have an alternative method to reach out. Ideally, you have them sign up to your mailing list as a call to action on your Facebook page (or other social media).

Social is a great discovery tool, but you want to offboard these folks to contact and publishing systems you control (mailing lists, sms lists, Wordpress, etc) for the day that your page or other social page gets nuked.
Same. Feature flags need a yearly audit, but who has bandwidth for that? I'd file it under tech debt / tech health, or a great project for entry level or new hire.
Well the term computing device predates all this silliness that has come up surrounding portable computers. Device is a more generic term though. Like calling a separate piece of hardware that also likely turning complete in multiple ways in the context of drivers a device is perfectly normal.

Also just take the name AMD it stands for advance micro devices.

I think that this is just devolving the concept of "paperclip maximizer" past the point of absurdity. As I understand it, a paperclip maximizer is a device which has some utility function that it maximizes to an extreme point that it actually ends up providing negative utility to whoever built it or society in general.

I don't see how humans doing what they want fits in there. People aren't slaves to their desires that have a mind of their own, people are the minds which make up desires and destroy them. On the other hand, a paperclip maximizer - or, I think, capital - has a singular desire, which is to make as many paperclips as possible or as much profit as possible, everything else be damned, forever.
It is indeed often cited as the start of the medieval peasantry.

As I was saying, most of the org comes from the on prem world and the culture is to roll up your sleeves and just help. This is jarring to me coming from a very product centric background.

The mass killing of civilians in Tokyo and Dresden was absolutely deliberate. Same with Hiroshima and Nagasaki; the atom bombs used in those attacks were dropped on the center of those cities, even though the factories we were ostensibly targeting were located on the outskirts.

Having said that: If indeed the Allies targeted civilians intentionally in World War II, would you say that the war was unjust? Or that the Allies committed war crimes? If not, then you might consider that there is such a thing as just riots.
