May be missing some subtlety, but at a quick read I would respond to this as:

- The author has not deeply understood the subjective interpretation of probability, as widely used by bayesians, and applicable to this sort of reasoning

- the author, and the sources the author quotes based on a quick read, seem unfamiliar with quanifying uncertainties not just as point estimates, but instead by using a probability distribution, which you can use to easily tell the difference between a mean probability of .5 based on say 5 heads and 5 tails, vs one based on 500 heads and 500 tails.

The point that it's often difficult to tell whether a particular probability should be 0.0001 or 0.00001 is a fair one.

But overall I don't take much reassurance from this article.
No. The better students are not some resource to be used for the benefit of the other students. They are clients in their own right and should be developed to the best of their abilities.

Regarding children as some kind of state resource is just wrong.
It's both. 110, 300 and early 1200 were all one bit per symbol.
> Thus under-performance by black and non-white hispanic students is caused entirely by white supremacy and racism, either direct or systemic.

The systemic part is especially interesting. A concept I was exposed to quite late in life by black colleagues and friends was the idea of “Acting White” [0]. Basically, a (black) colleague of mine first introduced me to the term when he recalled how he was ostracized at school for saying out loud he enjoyed trigonometry (something everyone at the table shared seeing as everyone went to CS or engineering).

Selective schools like Lowell here in SF must be a heaven for kids stuck with peers that are dragging them down. It’s really sad they want to end it with a lottery and race quota.

> The obvious explanation is something like that Asians are too hard-working to be held back by white racism, but as others have noted it's hard not to take that as implying that blacks and non-white hispanics are inferior to Asians in their work ethic. Lumping whites and Asians together makes all of these difficulties go away.

That right here is the reasons humanities are considered a joke and politely ignored.

> The question of whether or not white hispanics suffer from racism is cloudy, because the data is rarely broken out.

This story came from an acquaintance, so I have no way of verifying it’s true. But at their daughter’s school several years ago the college counselor basically told a girl with a Spanish sounding name to claim she was Hispanic. Her parents were white, and her dad was from Europe (came to the bay for a PhD at a certain local university and then worked for an early internet company with a colorful logo). She got into a few pretty good universities despite having worse grades than her (self-declared) white friends who coincidently didn’t make the cut.

Those are good things, but why do you see it as either/or?
OK, I was looking at iPhone 6S, a glance at eBay Australia suggests they’re starting somewhere around AUD150. iPhone SE 1st generation looks to be starting at more like AUD120.

I spent around AUD150 on each of my first two phones. Last year I splurged on a PinePhone (around AUD300 including dock and shipping) which I hope will last me for the next decade.
Second-hand iphones are expensive in asia. For example, that second-hand iphone SE 2020 you mentioned cost ~$350 here. That's more expensive than some locally-produced mid-range android phones.

"Bad" company: Growing pushback from employees asking great questions… for example, why they should be required to sit on zoom at an office, conferencing with their remote colleagues

Why wouldn't this occur, in even greater magnitude, at a company with zero accountability regarding the whereabouts of the employees? Where an employee can wake up any morning and just decide not to come in? Where nobody can say with any certainty who will attend a meeting, or be in the building, or available to be on a call, at any time? Where nobody has any responsibility to ensure co-workers schedules line up, or that the person responsible for Task A completes it within a timeframe to allow the Task B person to meet his/her deadline?
It uses jitsi's embedding API to build custom UI, subscriptionsm,... around Jitsi as far as I can tell. Jitsi isnt in that repo.
That's just straightforwardly not true, right? You can't park nuclear missiles in Cuba, but you can do everything short of that. Cuba remained a COMECON member after the crisis. The USSR ran SIGINT missions out of Cuba. They were treaty partners in all but name --- far more involved than the US is with Ukraine in 2022, or, really, than they would be as a NATO member.
You're not asking people to move, you're actively sabotaging your own clients.

1. You terminate my service on a nationalistic basis. Ok, that's sad, but at least I can move.

2. You charge me for my domain for the period after service termination.

3. You tell "refund or redemption and you can't use your domain for a month or $70".

4. You tell "oopsie whooopsie, to our deepest regret, we have mistakenly cancelled the renewal".

Worst service ever.

Did you read those books?

Thought so.

You did, and you come up with this response? Read them again, but now without those ideologically-tainted glasses. Show me where they're totally off-base and I will listen.

By the way, if you had read them - which you have not - you would have known that none of these authors claim that the climate does not change, nor do they claim that human activity does not have any influence on climate change. What these authors - and many others - do not share is the conviction, nay, the sheer joy of the "climate apocalypse". This I have in common with them and with many others - but you... seem to differ?

Read those books, and others. Think for yourself. Don't just blindly follow the man with the sign "the world is coming to its end, repent!". Don't drink the Kool-Aid.

No, this is not unfair. Everyone should be made to squirm until innocent Ukrainians AREN’T being bombed in their apartments. The pressure should apply absolutely everywhere.

Easy; it's the hacker. Whether the false information is publicly available is not a defense to fraud. Fraud is presenting false information (public or not) as true (in this case, that the serial number of the item belongs to you as a bona fide purchaser) and an innocent party (Apple + the consumer) relying on it to their detriment.
I've seen similar stories from nypost. I believe they broke the story but I haven't seen anything from WSJ. Can you post the WSJ articles on the story?

This is why many parents enroll their kids to Kumon. Kumon gives kids the about of work for their right level - whether that's a 2nd grader is ahead and at a 4th grade level, or a 2nd grader who is behind and starts at a 1st grade level. At the same time just because a kid is at the 4th grade level in math...maybe their reading is in 2nd grade.

With traditional schools all the kids are throw together. This results in kids who lag behind to further lag behind because they can't keep up with the class and lose confidence in themselves. A kid who is ahead gets bored and lose interest in school and never gets challenged to maintain that independence.
You are conflating 'cash' with 'money'

Physical cash is like 2% of what people call money, which usually includes bank deposits.

When people STOP accepting bank deposits as money, as in the Euro financial crisis, that's when things get weird.

It doesn't get weird because bank X ran out of physical cash, it gets weird because at some point other banks/players stop accepting bank X deposits as money, and then what do you do?
I feel for the engineers that have to deal with this, but I'm also secretly excited because it means there is a world-class drop of engineering wisdom coming in the postmortem blog post.

We don't usually see enough detail in the posts from FAANG (if they post at all) to learn as an industry, but Cloudflare has a history of providing actual wisdom after these sorts of events.

It's hard not to like them as a company.

Nuclear war between NATO and Russia would cause less collateral damage than Russian people not getting to play chess tournaments for an indefinite period of time?

OP doesn't weight the size of each technology by adoption -- if they did that then yeah there are some centroids. But I think their point is correct that parts of the ecosystem remain quite fragmented.

> For example, when I first got into ML the ADAM optimizer was the new big thing, since then hundreds of 'better' optimizers have been published. This paper from August '21 shows that most of that is overblown and no optimizer consistently outperforms ADAM: https://arxiv.org/pdf/2007.01547.pdf

FWIW this paper acknowledges that optimizer is application-dependent, yet draws its conclusions from < 10 canned datasets (mostly classification). "no optimizer consistently outperforms ADAM" is a misleading statement -- I think a more correct one is "no optimizer consistently outperforms ADAM on {MNIST, CIFAR-10, SVHN}". If you do work on much larger and more novel architectures / datasets, I think you'll find the advice to "just use adam" to be insufficient. At least at the orgs I've worked at, folks often do a (sometimes smart) param sweep to find best optimizer / settings << if you're lucky enough to have infra that supports this :)

That aside and more generally, there certainly are commonly accepted best practices in ML. But that doesn't mean ML organizations all work the same way, and the OP's point is that the dust has not settled on what the best tools are to do X.
I can echo this. I run a smallish app with a decent following, and once in a while I'll get a "Your worthless app lost all my data, @#$% you!" email. A simple, "Hey, sorry to hear your having problems...tell me what's going on" does wonders.

I try to remember this when I interact with people in any medium (including in-person). Snark/anger/sarcasm are often just the envelope for the content of a message. If you don't let it affect you, you can respond to the content of the message, not the delivery, and break down a number of walls instantly. And as a bonus you're not giving someone else control over your emotional state.

That said, some people are just abusive idiots and you kind of have to have a sense for when you're wasting your energy.
Yep. All the laptops in the house are SSD.
I really haven't noticed much of a difference, sorry.

Everything is linux too, but I find it hard to believe that would matter. I mean, NTFS is a notoriously slow file system (Hedgewars, Firefox and Minecraft all had to rearchitect to handle its horrendous handling of many small files), but the reasons for it I think would not change that much with SSD.

The thing is. How would you really notice a difference after first load of an app? SSD, spinning rust, linux, everything is mem caching these days... It's really hard to tell unless you're actually memory constrained.

It's quite likely that if I had to work on an enormous number of new files, I might notice something? But my software projects aren't like that - the games and videos are, but they wouldn't fit on an SSD anyway. That's why I have an 8 terabyte hard drive.
>Yeah, the DOD lies, like they lied about Russia invading Ukraine.

We can't ignore the 50+ years of lies about various conflicts around the world and the coups/ assassinations where the public was purposely misled. This isn't new and ridiculing the observation is unproductive. Ignore history at your own peril.

I will say, Russia has probably increased their forces at this point but it may not be as much as claimed by the DOD.
Interesting that BusinessInsider translated това́рищ (továrišč) as "dear friend" and not "comrade," but of course, no one who refers to a stock market as such could mean it with the latter's connotations.

> In practice, sanctions rarely if ever seem to cause violent revolution.

Sanctions aren't supposed to cause violent revolution, particularly.

They are supposed to:

(1) Pressure the regime to change the course of action which caused them, and

(2) Reduce the economic capacity behind, and this the effectiveness of, the targeted action so long as #1 doesn't work.

Promoting violent overthrow of the regime is a manner of achieving #1, but while it is often an acceptable outcome from sanctions, it's generally not the preferred outcome.

> They just end up hurting the little guys who can't do anything anyway

All, even the most autocratic, regimes rely entirely on the at least tacit cooperation of “the little guy” to function at all.
I find the project-based permission model a lot easier to work with than the ARN based permission model. ARN is more granular so probably more secure if you get it exactly right, but also more going on so easier to miss something.

> There is no difference here

"Scroll up and you can see for yourself" my previous comment where I argued the difference.

I honestly don't know if Israeli forces should be called barbaric. It is a narration common enough that it motivated me to investigate - where I quickly discovered many facts speaking in favor of the Israel. Again, I don't support what Israel is doing, but the initial fire of my outrage got quickly quenched by facts. As soon as it turned out to be quite an intricate conflict, I humbly switched my interests on the basis of being too stupid to judge either side.

Meanwhile in case of russian invasion, I just see nothing in defense of the invader. The moral aspect of the conflict is ridiculously asymmetric - like in a Disney movie. On one side there's a small country, with its president risking life in Kiev, on another a Goliath country run by a coward hiding in a bunker, shamelessly lying to his citizens, with the world almost unanimously condemning his war crimes.

So, to sum it up, without defending Israeli forces in Palestine, I see a huge difference between them and the russian barbarism in Ukraine. I don't know if the former is barbaric, but the latter is as barbaric as it gets.
what you are describing is an interplanetary MAD, kind of Expanse style. We're definitely coming to it. Moon and Mars colonies will have nuclear reactors and Mars ships will be nuclear. The weaponization will happen the first moment some threat happens, which is a given.

>totally resistant to any attack

it isn't possible for any non-minor period of time as the other side would go exponential in their effort to change that.
Hey Everyone,

Firat from Permify here. My co-founders and I have been building things together since high school. Almost a year ago, we started building a project management system for a client.

We start simple but things got complicated pretty fast, as the project grew clients need new access control features.

Authorization is usually something overlooked. So it gets harder, and harder. And when the time comes to create a granular system.

Oh boy, you just realize what happens.

So we did what every dev would do. Instead of doing the task, we build an authorization and access control system on top of OPA.

So that everyone can easily decouple authorizations and access control from their code without messing up the business logic.

Permify is an plug-&-play authorization and access control API build on OPA. We make you deploy complex authorizations system under 30 mins.

So that you can focus on your core product.

You can create policies, rules and options with Permify. What we basically do is give you tools to build RBAC and ABAC.

You can signup for Permify at https://permify.co/

Or write the article for more on how we build Permify, and how it works.

I'm around here to answer any questions.

This is a very good point. At my workplace we haven't had a 2->3 level project event, but our discussions _are_ always shaped and influenced by not only how previous agreements have worked in practice, but also how previous discussions (and arguments) leading up to those agreements played out.

It is to the point that a sizable amount of my value is derived from being having been around long enough with my ear to the ground to be able to recount the logic behind arguments from each side and giving recommendations on how to broach remaining tensions.
Once you step up from consumer level (Nest/Ring/Wyze) cameras, you'll find that nearly every IP camera supports the standard RTSP/ONVIF format. They don't need any internet access to function. Standard practice is to secure them by using a dedicated VLAN (so they can't talk to anything else on your network) and default deny firewall rules (so they can't get to the Internet or other parts of your network). It's definitely not plug-and-play, but if you have experience setting up networks it's pretty straightforward. If you want remote access to the cameras while off your local network, you'll need to set up a VPN.

I have a bunch of Hikvision cameras (DS-2CD2342WD-I) that were about $120/each that I'm happy with. I don't have any security concerns about them phoning home or doing anything nefarious, because they're completely segregated on their own locked down network.

If you want to record, you'll need to set up an NVR. You can buy one (i.e. https://amzn.to/3HFNEWw) or run software on your own server. I use Milestone XProtect's free license at one site, and Synology's Surveillance Station at another. You could also look for cameras that have an SD card slot built in, and configure recording directly on the camera.

This doesn't sounds like it has a product-market fit. I see myself doing the same thing, building products that might not have an audience. How many people came to you saying they wanted this, what problems does it solve. Why do you only support one database platform.

I would look for a product-market fit before building anything substantial, build a prototype, get feedback, get your first paying customer with a half-assed version, before you go all in.

In the meantime, get a job, maybe pivot your idea to something more valuable, get your website and marketing together on your idea and determine if there is a market before you build it out. Right now RiverDB only has 15 stars. I would say if it had 2000+ or more stars on Github you might have a winner. But unless you really get more traction, this might not be a good business idea.

I hope you can do both and find a business that fits you but in the meantime, getting a job isn't a loss, might bring needed stability to you and your fam.
We had a 15 year old who lived in the dorms with us when I was at undergrad. He had already finished his BS and was in grad school. Looking back, so many things we all did together were probably not great for a 15 year old.

One great advice my partner gave to me was that it's the Pareto Principle: Spend 20% of your time networking and 80% of your time doing work. That 20% of your time networking will bring in most of your money.

Why not spend 80% of your time networking? Nobody respects people who do that. They do want people who can get the job done, so you still have to be spending most of your time getting the work done and becoming an expert.
The variant explained in the page doesn't allow for this pre-planning. You don't know what rank you will need, because you won't know what the next lead will declare when they start a round.
> You're essentially advocating for society to perpetuate this "tropical, laid-back paradise" for the group, absolving them as a group to grow and better themselves
