"Choosing parents" is mocking a frequently-held attitude that when people do bad things, it's 100% of the time 100% their own fault and nobody else ever had anything to do with it. "Andre steals stuff because he makes bad choices. If he'd just stop making bad choices, he wouldn't be in trouble so much. It's all his fault."

The reality is that people often do make reasonably good decisions from the set of decisions available to them - and that set is often quite bad. Andre's only source of income is selling stolen goods. If he'd stop doing that, wouldn't it be worse for him because he'd have no income? People will say "he should just get a job" but have you tried getting a job? Like, ever? It's far from trivial, especially if you have a criminal record! So, given the choice between A (easy and effective) or B (difficult and probably ineffective) or C (having no money) the best decision is obvious. Choosing A is a good decision. And if we don't want Andre to choose A, we need to give him a better option.

Oftentimes it starts with growing up:

> Andre said he has struggled with homelessness on and off since he was 14. That’s when he started selling at 3rd and Pine. He’s been there almost everyday since. He’s 30 now.

If Andre had a computer at 14 he could be commenting on Hacker News today. Or with other factors he could be an athlete, an artist, an entrepreneur, idk, anything. But he got started on the "petty crime to pay bills" path and that constrained his options from then on.

When we combine this known fact - that his crime begins with not having a stable childhood, which is largely determined by who you have as a parent and how your society treats them - with the attitude that "everything you do is your fault" - we come to the conclusion that it must be Andre's fault that his parents were poor and homeless, which is absurd.
In the conversations we have had with landowners, they are much more interested in planting Loblolly pine or poplar, which are naturalized and / or native than Empress. I think Empress trees are very cool but hybrid poplar and loblolly pine are better suited for the types of sites we are planting seedlings on.

> Criminal charges for cheating on an exam? Seems a bit absurd to me.

Depends on how you think about it. They're defrauding the institution out of a credential. It really depends on how the relevant laws are worded.

Would you expect criminal charges if you got caught counterfeiting a lottery ticket?

I find everything you said interesting, of course, but I think the legal thing is slightly more complicated.

I can’t agree with this enough.

I deal with daily chronic pain which has rendered me essentially unable to work. My full-time job has been “patient” for almost three years.

What I’ve learned is that you have to do their work for them if you want to make progress.

Sometimes that means showing up with highlighted printouts of studies that they would never get around to reading if you didn’t deliver them — and follow up on them — personally.

Other times that means that means playing dumb and “presenting” (not faking, just highlighting) the right preliminary symptoms to get a key test ordered.

I’m lucky in that I have education. I can read a study. I understand probability and statistics. I can learn terminology and use it (somewhat) correctly in a sentence. I often wonder how people without a STEM background get any care at all. Perhaps they don’t?

It’s a horrible, broken system that amounts to little more than insurance-mandated gatekeeping.

> Do you really need proprietary EDA tools to get started on designing custom chips?

Yes, actually, you do.

The "interesting" bits in chip design aren't the digital parts--the interesting bits are all analog.

A RISC core is an undergraduate exercise in digital design and synthesis in any HDL--even just straight Verilog or VHDL. It's a boring exercise for anyone with a bit of industry experience as we have infinite and cheap digital transistors. (This is part of the reason I regard RISC-V as a bit interesting but not that exciting. It's fine, but the "RISC" part isn't where we needed innovation and standardization--we needed that in the peripherals.)

However, the interfaces are where things break down. Most communication is now wireless (WiFi, BLE, NB-IoT) and that's all RF (radio frequency) analog. Interfacing generally requires analog to digital systems (ADCs and DACs) and those are, obviously, analog. Even high-speed serial stuff requires signal integrity and termination systems--all of that requires parasitic extraction for modeling--yet more analog. And MEMS are even worse as they require mechanical modeling inside your analog simulation.

If your system needs to run on a coin cell battery, that's genuinely low power and you are optimizing even the digital bits in the analog domain in order to cut your energy consumption. This means that nominally "digital" blocks like clocks and clock trees now become tradeoffs in the analog space. How does your debugging unit work when the chip is in sleep?--most vendors just punt and turn the chip completely on when debugging but that screws up your ability to take power measurements. And many of your purely digital blocks now have "power on/power off" behavior that you need to model when your chip switches from active to sleep to hibernate.

All this is why I roll my eyes every time some group implements "design initiatives" for "digital" VLSI design--"digital" VLSI is "mostly solved" and has been for years (what people behind these initiatives are really complaining about is that good VLSI designers are expensive--not that digital VLSI design is difficult). The key point is analog design (even and especially for high performance digital) with simulation modeling along with parasitic extraction being the blockers. Until one of these "design initiatives" attacks the analog parasitic extraction and modeling, they're just hot air. (Of course, you can turn that statement around and say that someone attacking analog parasitic extraction means they are VERY serious and VERY interesting.)

> Yes but what I mentioned does not require any interaction, it still does change the route to a faster one without having to do anything. I don't see how that makes a difference in safety?

It makes a difference for people (like myself) who very much don't want the route to change automatically. It means that some attention has to be paid to the app so you can tap the screen in time to make it stop, and it means that you have a time-limited action that you must perform. Two things that add to the cognitive load and distraction.
If 53% would be enough to push it from unprofitable to profitable it might make a huge difference in adaption.

>This too is incorrect. The US has not asked Ukraine to 'join NATO', it has been the other way around. Russia has been told in no uncertain terms that it isn't up to them whether or not Ukraine joins NATO, but that this is up to NATO (and it's various partners).

Yes, Ukraine applied. The US and other NATO nations can decide if they are considered or not. The US and other NATO nations can decide if they are accepted or not. Ukraine can apply or not apply, but beyond this the US and NATO have all the power to decide the outcome. When Ukraine did apply in ~2008, many NATO countries including Germany and France did not want to expand east as it would provoke Russia and increase the risk of war in Europe. Using it's formidable leverage, the US convinced NATO to entertain Ukraine's application.

The US and other NATO countries still have the power to change policy with respect to Ukraine, and state that it will never be granted membership. The US could unilaterally do this today if they wished Ukraine to have a neutral status.

The parent article askes what the west can offer to bring peace and obtain a Russian withdrawal. This is certainly one such option that is technically possible (if unpopular).

From the US perspective, regime change in Russia is attractive, but every day that goes by Ukrainians die.
I had some professors in high school that would encourage us to write a cheat sheet, with the caveat that you had to fit everything into a standard note card.

Unfortunately, there was a foreign student that was so ahead of everyone, that he simply increased the difficulty of the tests and would curve them, excluding that one student from the curve. It was normal for most of the class to get 60s-70s, while this student would get 90s on his exams. I say unfortunately, but only jokingly.
It's always nice to see Microsoft trying to push more users to Linux.

Really? It's hard to see how they could say that without getting laughed out of the room, considering they said the same thing about Windows 10.
No, it is more of a "not being able to solve a regional/national problem" locally. If Seattle (or "Freattle" as it is called in grifter circles) is the best place to go and set up a tent, do decriminalized drugs, and shoplift with impunity, then...yes, they will attract a disportioncate part of the problem.

And yes, if the problem can't be solved locally (too harsh, push the problem somewhere else; too soft, attract more of the problem), why should be in the latter category? Is Seattle just a convenient sacrifice?

I agree about you second point. I was too quick to make my comment and I was conflating stuff I've read about nasal esketamine, which didn't have as robust evidence behind it as i.v. ketamine. I should not write comments while holding a baby that is trying to sleep and failing at it.

About the first point, I still disagree with the parent comment. The standard 0,5mg/kg ketamine is given under 40 minutes. I've seen two patients receive it. The room was dimly lit, silent and peaceful, as to not induce or exacerbate any possible dissociative or hallucinative side effects. The patients didn't report any side effects at first and later reported a little sedation. I wouldn't be a able to tell with certainty if they had received a placebo or ketamine, and certainly not within minutes.

Edit: I still think we need hard data about anti-suicide effect and not just surrogate markers. Variability in suicidal ideation is suggested to be a predictor of suicide attempts [1]. If ketamine first gets someone better and later on they relapse, they could, in theory, be at increased risk for suicide. More long term data is also needed about it's long term effects. Note that I do think it's a good thing that ketamine is becoming more available! I will continue to suggest it for e.g. patients with treatment resistant and severe depression.

That has no bearing at all on the PEP process and is a gross mischaracterization of it. It's clearly documented and open.

ML for logs – results from a large scale, real world study
https://www.zebrium.com/blog/how-cisco-uses-zebrium-ml-to-analyze-logs-for-root-cause

Disclosure: I’m one of the co-founders behind the ML mentioned here. However the results in the link above were generated independently by Cisco.

There have been a number of write-ups and papers evaluating ML for logs over the last few years – by academics, engineers, and observability vendors. But these results have typically been limited to synthetic data sets (lab generated), or very limited in scope (a handful of real world data sets).

The Automation and Innovation team at Cisco just published test results from a study applying ML to a large corpus of actual software incidents. The goal was to test the efficacy of the ML in picking out root cause indicators from logs that spanned the duration of the problems.

Each problem’s log data set was run through the Zebrium ML engine, AND was also independently root caused by an engineer with expertise in that software. To be counted as a success, the summary ML output had to contain the same log event(s) as those that were picked out by the engineer during the manual analysis. Further, each report had to be concise and clear enough that the evaluating engineer found it to be a net advantage (as compared with their familiar workflow of searching through logs).

The underlying software products were diverse in nature – Webex client (collaboration), DNA Center (networking), ISE (security), and UCS (infrastructure).

Each data set was a few GB in size (10s of millions of log events), spanned anywhere from a dozen to hundreds of log types (hence the challenge of correlating across logs), and typically contained a few days of logs. An engineer troubleshooting a software problem typically uses this history to understand the baseline of normal events, as well as spot any outlier events that might be clues to the root cause. The unsupervised ML was not pretrained – it used the same history to train on as was available in the log datasets.

Given the sensitivity of the data sets, the raw data is not published, but more details are expected in a follow up white paper. In any case, the results showed an accuracy rate of 95.8% for using ML for logs.
That's the wrong take, and here's why. Interdependent trade doesn't promote peace as much as it discourages outright war. Russia is beating on Ukraine, but it has crossed a field of knives to do it, and will bleed out very soon. Russia will be the example that everyone will point to when their leader starts rattling their sabers.

I think the fundamental problem here is everybody must be a novice before they become a expert, and probably the only languages were the experts outnumber novices are the dead or dying ones. Most of time we are beginner-level at everything. If a language is too expert-focused, and hard to onboard people into, it has a hard time growing organically.
I've found that very few companies in the third category understand that they are. As a result, they are unable to admit it and a security person only finds out when a need to bid for resources arises. Then they learn that the company sincerely believed that hiring the security person is all the resources required.

I'm having cochlear implant and I'm able to hear sounds using a neckloop same as displayed in this video https://youtu.be/Gu2C6frbW18?t=130

So basically I'm able to control my processor and during boring meetings or family events, I can switch to T mode and listen to music / podcasts, without anyone noticing that. I can even having it balanced.. 50%/50% , or 80% / 20% etc..

I'm sure that it would be so useful in cheating in exams.. hard to identify.. you have aid hearing, they never expect you will cheat with that.

I'm wondering what will happen if Deaf people will be caught doing that? they won't be allowed to hear at all during exams?
The spirit of the GDPR is "do what we think is right even if we don't really understand what you really are doing - we have very fancy principles but no idea how to implement those, so we'll impose a ton of crazy measures hoping to move the needle, and failing miserably".

As a European, I don't really care of the spacetime position of the magnetic moment encoding if I clicked in the big red button or not. It does not change anything to my life. What I do care is that my sensitive data are kept securely. And even my government if failing to do that, so before they impose anything to the latest SAAS I subscribed to, they have a ton of work to do in-house.

I also care about what people post about me, but GDPR has an exemption for public data, so I am not more protected today than I was yesterday.

I am sure someone, somewhere feels all warms and fuzzy about "protecting" the European citizen, but boy did he miss the mark.
