Presenting dimensionality reduction as the starting point in machine learning is not usual, but it does make sense, technically. A classification model can be seen as mapping inputs from an N dimensional space to set of labels. Regression maps N dimensional spaces to the real line and so on. Even a sample mean reduces a set with dimensionality equal to the sample size to a single real number.
If you're referring to Homo heidelbergensis, I believe the jury is still out on that.

Well there’s a lot of evidence about the role environment plays.

The most famous example I know of is the Vietnam opioid study: https://www.statnews.com/2021/07/19/lessons-learned-and-lost...

When removing mental illness from the study, many service members who had addiction in Vietnam had no addiction or relapse when they returned to the US, even without any treatment. The leading theories were reduced stress, better social support and less access to opioids.

So, if you’re growing up in a city and/or family unit with high stress (high crime, low opportunity), poor social influences / support structures and high access to dangerous or illegal activities, you’re far more likely to fall into addiction or poor decision making through no extra fault of your own.

If you grow up with low stress, great influences and little temptation, you’re more likely to make good decisions with no bonus points for you.

So yeah, decision making is a huge part of your health, but for this study of service men in the 50s the deck was stacked against them in Vietnam and stacked in their favor in the US. It’s interesting to see the same exact person experiencing two wildly different outcomes with their environment being the largest differing factor, rather than education, treatment, etc.

It suggests that it’s hard to educate someone into making better decisions, but easier to help them make better decisions by helping them find a healthier environment.

This line up with research about self control fatigue that each decision proves and act of self restraint is fatiguing (https://www.nutritionaction.com/daily/what-not-to-eat/decisi...). Which is akin to the salesman’s trick of the trade: “persistence wears down resistance”.

The more you’re tempted the more likely you are to succumb.

So pick your guilty pleasure and now imagine it in your house, on the way to work, enjoyed by your friends and loved ones, everywhere all the time. It’s much harder to resist than if you don’t have access to it or have a healthy mix of people in your life who don’t indulge.

I guess I see it more like 70-80% of decisions are influenced by your environment and we’re not as virtuous or evil as our actions alone might seem.
How is this different from other free legal DBs like Justia and Casetext?

I found this to be quite accurate based on my experience, and I have written things very close to this to my personal contacts that are entering this phase.

The most important thing to internalize, is that the baby is crying for a reason, and your life will go a lot better if you figure out how to solve their problem immediately, rather than ignore or get upset about it yourself. I can’t tell you how many people have told me that that their babies cry all night, expecting to find common ground in the complaint.

And to add to both the tired cry, and the witching hour, I would say that the baby wants to sleep, but needs to ascertain safety/physical comfort first, which usually means being held, and some kind of movement.

Think about evolution. Humans are migratory. The greatest danger to a primordial infant is being left behind. The solution to this is to cry until someone picks them up and carries them along the path. This crying for attention has to be more advantageous than the obvious danger of alerting predators.
Sounds to me like a VPN IP was associated with a different banned account and the reuse of that IP by your partner associated your partner's account with the banned one.
One thing that’s good to point out to anybody looking to get into VR for fitness is that Beat Saber becomes radically more challenging when playing custom community-made maps instead of the stock/DLC maps. The higher difficulty community maps require a lot of speed, precision, and stamina, and I’m only beginning to be able to play them decently after a few months of practice. It’s almost an entirely different game.

Unfortunately, support for custom maps/mods for the standalone Quest version of the game is not great, so it’s best to play the PC version if the community maps are of interest (which can be done with a Quest via PC link).
I assumed she was joking. Is it not a joke?
What Google are you using? I want to that one. For me, obscure is exactly where Google falls down these days, returning dozens of regurgitated listicle and low effort content marketing spam at best most of the time. Often ignoring extra words you've added to help narrow the result. Verbatim mode helps, but just barely these days.

typing `yes` in most terminals produces an endless loop of y-s

You're confusing the action of a specific app ('yes') with the general term 'good UX' that you're trying to associate with a UNIX terminal.

What is your definition of 'good UX' when applied to a terminal? (Any terminal such as those in UNIX, Windows, MacOS, etc., etc., etc.)
The code is written using a dynamically typed language with no security guarantees so stuff like this is inevitable. Are there projects that leverage static typing to allow the creation of provably secure contracts?
Is that really a bad thing? Nobody should be representing themselves because they have no idea beyond Law and Order what all is supposed to be happening around them. That's why you get a complementary attorney if you can't afford one.

It's just too important to risk no?

Like DIY surgery. It's quite expensive and impenetrable to be doing your own appendectomy and I'm not mad about that. In both cases you could if you really had to but a high barrier to entry for me is not a bug but a feature.
People don't really get the distinction you make here, which is a shame. Often any VLA's are outlawed which is tossing the baby out with the bathwater.

Your own source says $136 billion for the industry, $42.2 billion is just global box office.
Does anyone know why American court opinions tend to omit the word "the" before plaintiff and defendant? For instance

"Afterwards plaintiff sued defendant claiming damages".

In Australia and the UK, this would be

"Afterwards the plaintiff sued the defendant claiming damages".

In general US opinions seem more concise and formulaic than their Anglo counterparts. This is just one striking example. I'm just curious about the origin of this distinction. Perhaps there is some text on concise legal writing prescribed at US law schools which offers such a suggestion?

Another curious difference, it's an opinion in the US, a decision or judgment in Australia/UK.
Thanks! I do use f5bot, but in this case I was just perusing HN and figured I'd drop some links and a plug :)
My assertion is glib, but your response is wholly insubstantive. Can you to point out how this piece treats Rego as an actual example of a real-world Datalog? I don't see any link when mentioning real-world Datalogs.

The fact that this piece makes no mention of it but provides a drive-by link to it suggests that the author is not actually interested in evaluating the problem in a realistic scenario. The piece the literary equivalent of a reminder that one can harm oneself with a gun without ever actually discussing how one should implement gun safety.
Justia is a general legal info portal and has many high-level court opinions within that portal. Casetext is primarily legal research software and has many US/state codes within its database. (https://casetext.com/coverage) I think the broad strokes are right in that summary. judyrecords has many more cases than Justia or casetext. More than 600M+ if I had to guess quick.
I had that book and remember learning something from the very first line of code; XOR A. This clears the accumulator (of course) with a one byte instruction, improving on the more obvious LD A,0 two byte instruction I'd always used up until then.
Given the lack of adequate maternity leave (along with the lack of other worker protection stuff common in civilized countries) it is understandable that a ideology of the bottle would be very popular in the good old US.
Right? I feel like the correct response would be to get in touch with whoever (allegedly) made it "bounce back" instead of posting some hot take on twitter.
Every idea or principle is seen through the lens of current events. There is no nuance or context applied. Everything is seen as either "don't tread on me" type of thinking or "please think of the children!". Maybe it's because the loudest voices or those riding a wave of sensationalism simply drown out everything in the wake. Personal freedoms should absolutely take a back-seat to general welfare and safety of society, within limits and depending on the nature of potential dangers. An airborne virus, for example, necessitates curtailing personal freedoms for the greater good.

Generally, however, once you switch from common sense to thinking in terms of law culturally, it's a slow path toward a police state. I realize that's a loaded phrase; so, maybe read this with a grain of salt, rather than immediately attributing some ulterior motive or agenda.

Once common sense gets twisted for political gain, generally a quicker progression toward anarchy or police state.

This is a society espousing individual freedom, yet hysterical over crime. Punishing a child's actions the same as an adult's shows the micromanaging of those freedoms; especially when police are called to schools for fights or even "misdemeanor" acts. Jails are used to house and treat more people with mental health issues than hospitals.

As we're conditioned to give up our free will and even certain personal freedoms over time and daily (i.e. more personal debt, more things to own, more time spent working, more money spent on things/services to alleviate the stress... cycle), we usually end up either overreacting to "hot-button issues" or lash out at things that have no direct impact on our daily life and on the welfare and prosperity of our families or communities (e.g. abortion, gay marriage). That's not to say that those are not important issues. But they should not take precedence over the level of crime in your neighborhood; your paycheck; your healthcare; education, among other things.

It seems that, especially more recently, no one can/will think for themselves. Even as they proclaim to be "anti-establishment" or some other buzzword, it just becomes more clear there's no original thought in sight. Everyone wants to offer their commentary, yet it usually ends up being nothing but talking points and buzzwords; a self-inflating pedestal of hollow ideas and shallow principles.
yup.my son slept through at 6 weeks, but refused to sleep at all during the day. My daughter slept happily during the day and didn't start to even attempt to sleep through the night till after week 9... never consistently sill after week 12
>IME ObjC (unlike C++) automatically supports the latest C standards,

This is only true as long as the changes in C aren't conflicting with ObjC. In the future if ObjC is deemed dead by the council it won't have to worry about such things. So C58 may have tons of things that don't work in ObjC98 (or whatever the ObjC version is).
Suggestions to improve the 7-day storage limit won't be welcomed by Apple. The privacy argument is just a cover story, not their real reason for doing it. They make Safari painful to develop Web apps for on purpose, so that you'll want to write a native app instead (and thus give them full control over it and 30% of the revenue from it).

Probably a wasp or solitary bee of some sort. We never saw the insect, just the little nests in some tape or book spine you hadn't opened for a while. Insects, spiders, centipedes, lizards, all had pretty much free range in the houses back then. Every once in a while one of our cats would run up the walls trying to catch something.

Years later in Canada, I opened up an old amplifier we'd brought back with us to see if I could get it running again, and inside was a mummified gecko, perfectly dried, sitting on the board. They were constant companions on our walls, keeping the house free of the moths and mozzies.
What's outlandish about it? Some people wake up on the early side for all sorts of reasons -- disposition, physiology, mix of responsibilities requires it, household functioning, kids, etc., etc.

There are many different kinds of people in this world. It pays to think of all the reasons there might be for even one single behavior.
Direct cash payments plus "no broken windows" social policy would be a good start. That's how you can reasonably kickstart widespread social trust and social capital formation.

How long can we go before we start treating online stuff like real stuff? Why is my car protected from theft but my data isn't?
Same with the Playstation, Xbox, and Switch ports. The Harvest Moon and Story of Seasons series had both been releasing only handheld titles for a while at that point, and didn't move back to home consoles until after Stardew blew up.
It isn't the only one either, but most others aren't as shallow where the changes are as obvious.

It is relatively common to bottle feed here, either with pumped breast milk or formula.

In most cases, I wasn't able to tell which study you were referring to. I was able to correlate study 4 tho:

> The fourth linked study on IQ concludes: "These results, based on the largest randomized trial ever conducted in the area of human lactation, provide strong evidence that prolonged and exclusive breastfeeding improves children's cognitive development."

https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/18458209/

The study was cited with criticisms of its method and strong reason to believe the study result is implausible. The effect size is far too large: there is no way that EBF causes a 24 point jump in IQ, when observed correlated effects are so much smaller. That effect is so large that it would be immediately and apparently obvious who was breast fed. In fact, you could guess someone's EBF status simply by knowing how smart they are. Intelligence would be multimodal around who was breastfed and not.

I'm not sure exactly what they screwed up when running the study. Possibly an overreliance on the power of random cluster trials? After all, if you run 31 clusters in total, then it wouldn't be too surprising that you find weird statistics, since N=31, not the number of human participants. But whatever the case, the whole thing is completely compromised because the result is so implausible.

Anyway that's the best and only random study of EBF and intelligence if 538 is to be believed. Which means we essentially have no randomly controlled evidence at all that EBF improves intelligence.
I agree about the warning labels being too… eager… but I was shopping in the past and was about to buy a bottle of olive oil, except that there was a big cancer warning on the shelf for that specific bottle. So I bought a different bottle of olive oil that didn’t have the cancer warning. So in that case it was quite effective
Aren’t those usually capitalized as well? I’ve always though that style in legal texts means “a proper noun defined previously” - in case of plaintiff and defendant, probably on the first page. That said I have no legal background so take that with a grain of salt.
To be honest I tried to find multiple ways to get it done but I am still getting lack of communication from university (they just don't care) and honestly at this point neither do I. I was a 4/4 GPA student prior to working with the startups and it now dropped to 3.6/4 with 1 semester left. Really contemplating what to do since there is a lot of stuff that needs to get done.
Yeah I often feel that's the case.

Any crow, dolphin, or half-wit would have predicted US failure in Afghanistan. Donald Rumsfeld was Secretary of the US DoD at the time of the invasion. There is no public evidence that he predicted failure.

Freeman Dyson never proposed building anything even vaguely like what is called a Dyson Sphere, and was famously irritated at having it attributed to him.
The term for this "communal freedom" rather than "pure individualist freedom" is Negative Liberty: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Negative_liberty

It's one of the core tenets of modern freedom, for example: you're free to say what you want (Positive Liberty) as long as it's not a threat of violence that would silence someone else, so that other person is free from your threat of violence (Negative Liberty).
Also a key right must be that when an account is deleted, you have 60 days to download all your data.

It'd their platform and a free service, so maybe it is fine to deactivate you and remove your content from the world.

But to simultaneously remove your access so you lose everything is just a demonstration that they have zero care about your work or compassion that their customers are human beings. In other words, they are straight-up psychopaths

If you care about anything, do NOT use these services for that. Great for junk accounts, but otherwise...
Guessing: it’s an old legal system (not in relative terms, perhaps, but 250 years is a decent chunk of time) and a bunch of the language has stayed pretty similar over time.
I don't see how users don't understand this by now.

I will not put anything on a cloud service (let alone a free cloud service) that I rely on in any way. Including E-mail. If my only copy of some content is in the cloud, that means I have deliberately made the decision that that content is expendable and my life would not be affected if my account disappeared tomorrow.

It's really sad that we have to read these stories weekly, but somehow the word just isn't getting out there. Don't rely on someone else's computer to host the only copy of irreplaceable content! This does not absolve cloud providers from being better stewards of people's data--it's just a cry to be careful with things that are valuable. I know this sounds like blaming the victim, but how many more of these stories have to be posted to overcome everyone's "It won't happen to me" attitude?
The videos were only stored on YouYube???
Maybe it was hyperbole. Some hardcore breastfeeding advocates say it should be done until the kid is 3 or 4 years old.
Seconded. It can use some work but I do enjoy the ability to add my own music and workout to a favorite album with the playlist option.
Not really. We only had the option to grep logs on prod hosts only for the current hour so the only time that happens is when there is critical issue going on, logs being limited to 1 hour also means they were limited to a few 100 MBs tops. Even my old 2014 era thinkpad can handle that workload without breaking a sweat. It didn't even cause a blip in our metrics. Grep is a well written tool.

All the log grepping for data older than the current hour happen off-prod host and thus was never a concern.
Very common, although breastfeeding is also common. In our case, we primarily breastfeed but supplement with formula.

Some thirty years ago, as my parents would tell it, people would primarily just use formula.
What happens when you get sweaty?
Trump announced a ban on transgender soldiers via tweet like 1 day after giving a heads up to the Defense Secretary who was on vacation at the time. Nobody else in the military was prepared for the policy change and they were left scrambling.

Us not seeing them is in no way the same as them not seeing us. Being spied on is quite different, in detail, from actually being alone.
The effect sizes are implausibly large. Breastfeeding would not be a live debate if the causal effect was that large. For example, a 36x risk of SIDS is really just too much to believe. This lit review:
https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/pdfdirect/10.1111/apa.13...

Doesn't mention any studies with effect sizes larger than 4x. And it is concerning habitual breastfeeding or other feeding treatments. If breastfeeding a single time provided a 36x safety factor, these kinds of results would be impossible. A 14x reduction in infant mortality is similar far beyond the reasonable belief.

Personally I wouldn't toss out a claim like that without strong evidence to cite.
I guess the obvious killer in this category would be Flappy Bird, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flappy_Bird made in two to three days.

This sounds like a very wrong approach to optimization. I mean, if you don't know exactly what and how to optimize, or if there's a need for optimization at all, then what are you doing?
