It's real, it's just blown way out of proportion (see my comment above).
I've grown to really rely on R pipes, it's just how I like thinking about problems with small short lambdas. I wish python had better support (and better lambdas, without typing out 'lambda' and with tuple arguments) but for when I need to use it, toolz's pipe is pretty ok as long as you use lazy map/filter/etc

It's just so close to being as good, but not quite
But the "vehicle in motion" is not the problem. Accidents are a problem. Exactly the same way as in a taxi - if the taxi driver causes an accident, is it your fault because you told him where to go?
Complete armchair novice here, but I always found "dark matter" as I have seen it to be pretty implausible.

It just kind of feels like there's a scale with weight on it that, by everything we now observe, should only weigh 200lbs and instead is reading 300 -- it just seems that "broken scale" is a better explanation than "invisible stuff on the scale."
You're saying that Tesla of all companies isn't aiming for PR stunts with their automated driving? Tesla, the company that calls their level 2 automation "Full Self Driving" isn't out for PR stunts? I would be hard-pressed to name many companies that seem more prone to PR stunts than Tesla.

Thanks for that feedback! I definitely do not intend to point blank ask all of the questions. Rather, it is a checklist of things that to find out about.

I really like this thought. I'll definitely think about how to do that.
But Kotlin will never be first class citizen on the JVM itself. Also, I feel like kotlin is falling in-between all the platforms it try to handle (android, native, js), which might not be a good thing to do.
>the ability to “memorize” (i.e. learn)

I don't disagree with any of what you're saying. But piecing little bits and pieces of things together is seen as a higher-level cognitive trait in most of the cognitive literature, quite distinct as a learning concept from memorization.
> And IMHO the answer to that involves a lot of talk about how stupid, untrustworthy, self-serving, racist, corrupt, etc the actual voting public supposedly is.

And said as though the left-wing college grads are completely immune to being stupid, untrustworthy, self-serving, racist, corrupt, etc. (OK, they may be less racist. It's a start. The rest still applies, though.)
Hey former Guardian employee here.

The Guardian has hundreds of servers running, pretty much all EC2 instances.
EC2 images are baked and derived from official images, similarly to the way you bake a docker image.

We built tools before docker became the de facto standard, so we could easily keep the EC2 images up to date. We integrated pretty well with AWS so that the basic constructs of autoscaling and load balancer were well understood by everyone.

The stack is mostly JVM based so the benefits of running docker locally weren't really significant. We've evaluated moving to a docker solution a few times and always reached the conclusion that the cost of doing so wouldn't be worth the benefits.

Now for a company that starts today I don't think I'd recommend that, it just so happen that The Guardian invested early on the right tooling so that's pretty much an exception.
We don’t use containers with a pretty large deployment. (1k or so bare metal servers)

If you statically link all your binaries then your deployment system can be rsync a directory.

The only dependency is that the Linux kernel is new enough. Other than that the packages we deploy will run on literally any setup.
At least this study restricts itself to salary and is up front about it vs the "make a blanket generalization based on subjective prioritization of various factors" methodology that seems par for the course these days.
Valuing performance has indirect effects on other things: you're forced towards better models, better SQL queries and better validation/verification of data.
Yes I should have clarified that it is not written down in a manner that can ever be analyzed.
These days "far right" has lost all meaning when people commonly label even people that share what was mainstream 1990's democrat policy platform views as "far right"

What is considered "right" in US Politics is sooo encompassing that it likely include 80% of the population. As the people that label everyone "far right" do not realize just how out of touch they are in their twitter echo chamber
I think this startup is the result of a tight labor market making employers look for less credentialed candidates, a general skepticism of credentials in the tech sector, and society's general fascination with "whiz kids". Similar to the Thiel Fellowship, but with a profit motive instead of a philanthropic one.

I also think it indicates our education systems' general inability to handle kids who are significantly outside the norm, leading them to pursue their education outside of them.

IMO these things that get kids to skip college is neither good nor bad, but depend a lot on these kids aspirations; if they want to go work in research, then that pipeline is still very much interested in credentials and a body of work (which is unsurprising, given how competitive it is), but if these kids are more interested in the engineering side of things in industry, then this is probably good for them.

Though it's worth caveating that immigration systems are still exceptionally interested in credentials, so you can only really skip them if you're in the US already.
This isn't an argument so much for science as it is for funding of scientific experiments. I don't know about you but I feel like this public, cultural, collective investment of time and energy toward dark-matter-seeking projects is not bearing out. It's worth testing other theories more completely.

For instance, I've seen a convincing argument[1] that dark matter researchers consistently underestimate galactic inclination, which in turn results in poor fits between model and data, leading to the epicycle-like fudge inclusion of dark matter as "everywhere we would expect mass to be, given xyz".

Yeah, ex-Epic here as well. Epic's data surfaces are byzantine almost by design, as a form of security or safety. It can only be construed as gatekeeping in that Epic has never prioritized making it better for non-customers.
I don’t see why they can’t do what newspapers did in the past. Each ad got reviewed. It’ll cost more, but at least we can ensure there was some review of some type. Obviously we can anticipate errors in judgement but at least we can have someone who is responsible for letting something on.

This is because flightradar24 measures ground speed. A rock dropped from a building has a ground speed of zero. The apparent recovery was due to the fact that the aerodynamics of a 737 in a nosedive force it to pitch up somewhat. But the pilot probably pushed it back down.
> great code is well documented so that anyone who hasn’t been part of the evolution, trial & error process and requirements that led to the current status can be productive with it.

Just the other day I was doing a code review where the code itself didn't have a single comment in it, yet the PR had several notes for the reviewer around why something was done a certain way, the failed approaches, unexpected behavior they had to workaround, etc.

My response, "Please put all this information into comments in the code so the next person to work on it doesn't have to figure all this out again".

If code was tricky enough that it took you down several unexpected paths to get a few lines right, take the time to note that in the code for the next poor soul to work on it. (Which may well be yourself in a few months when all those lessons are forgotten).
We are all mistaken because of the url.

I read the article, and it was easy to gloss over the fact that Weiss didn't actually write it.
I wonder how quickly this is changing with the shift to remote work. Historically the biggest companies paying the highest salaries were generally not remote-friendly, which kept salary ceilings fairly local. This has changed significantly and remote-work policies are still in flux, so it will be very interesting to see where it nets out once the dust fully settles from the pandemic.

Have you considered that maybe it's not the lawyers that are out of step with the American people, but that maybe the American people are out of step with how to effectively conduct a democracy?

For example, lawyers should be aggressively secular. The separation of church and state is one of the most important pillars of a fair democracy, and should be steadfastly defended by our legal professionals regardless of the current ebbs and flows of culture and religion.

Personally, I think that the Reagan Era ushered in a wave of cultural conservatism that is far out of step with a healthy democracy, and lead to a toxic abundance of corporatism, deregulation, and rugged individualism, and that the "woke wave" that conservatives complain about is in many ways really just a cultural pendulum swing back to a healthy center.

Democrats are to the right of most lawyers, sure - but the Democratic party would be considered right wing in most other western democracies. America is so right-leaning that being a centrist in a global sense makes you more to the left than our left wing party.

So I don't think this data shows that our legal system is being corrupted by a sudden surge of radical leftists. I think it shows that American culture is going off the deep end and that our lawyers are trying to keep us tethered to the realities of democracy. These people get decades of education about the concrete function of legal institutions, and undoubtedly know much more about what is actually effective than your average American that just spews their untested opinion at a polster.
Many of the vendors of medical devices in this area have extensive automated telemetry that isn't under the control of the patient, often even preventing the patient from accessing that data, or gatekeeping that access through healthcare providers. As you move forward into more advanced treatment options, do you plan to address this and keep the patient in control?
How to think smartly about TikTok
I don't think this is totally accurate. Apple lists several non-TB devices as compatible like the iPad Air 5th Gen. In the Ars Technica review of it the author mentions it worked just fine on the USB C ports of their Radeon RX 6800 just with the devices running at USB 2 speeds. Perhaps something else is at play with the Nvidia card/drivers?

To believe that, you'd need to start with evidence of at least one demographically blind system that resulted in significantly disparate outcomes amongst otherwise equal classes.

When is this coming to Android?
For a typical business app, I really don’t think there is all that much overhead. Java is very fast, virtual calls are basically free due to the JIT, and these apps usually don’t need that much cache coherency for issuing an SQL query for a request. It’s not decoding video.
Any competent operation is continuously monitoring all available signals for signs of breach. All I read into this is that their systems have not identified any IoCs. Doesn't mean it hasn't happened, but, if you're relying on something non-automated to make these kinds of determinations, you're already pretty screwed. Forensics is definitely a thing in cases where there's reason to believe a breach happened, but, it's not the thing that will be used to decide something has happened worth investigating.

Thus, it should take approximately zero actual time to conclude what was stated here.
but the odds that somebody with a personality profile who'd think creatively enough to do this, then make it out through a modern scientific programme, and also sticks to academia are from low to zero.

most people creative enough are driven to the arts, which in modern society are only good for entertainment.
The most simple test is to use a continuously logging pulse oximeter (not an intermittent-sample type like found on some smart watches; also worth nothing continuous-logging sports watches at the high end of the market are usually very unreliable at O2 sat monitoring insuring sleep). Look for drops in O2 saturation dipping into the low 90s/high 80s intermittently. If you see them, you probably have an apnea issue.

That said, the over the counter devices that can do this reliably generally cost half as much (or more) as an at home sleep test.
You need a qualified respiratory therapist/pulmonologist/sleep doc to configure it for you (that's part of the prescription, how much pressure you need), otherwise you could really mess up your lungs (too much pressure) or make your apnea worse (too little pressure). They'll also do ongoing monitoring and adjust the levels remotely.
The relevant guideline covers this case clearly and hasn't changed in over a decade:

"When disagreeing, please reply to the argument instead of calling names. 'That is idiotic; 1 + 1 is 2, not 3' can be shortened to '1 + 1 is 2, not 3."

I too wonder whether cryptographic signatures will be the long run solution to deepfakes. Can you outline why you don't think that will be the case?

Here's an alt solution to argue against:

1. The necessary PKI gets bootstrapped by social media companies, where deepfakes begin to seriously threaten their "all-in-on-video" strategy, and simultaneously look like an opportunity to layer on some extra blue-check-style verification.

2. Example: you upload your first video to twitter, it sees the AV streams are unsigned, generates a keypair for you, does the signing, and adds the pubkey half to your twitter account. (All of this could be done with no user input.)

3. The AV streams have signatures on short sequences of frames. Say every 24th video frame has a signature over the previous 24 frames embedded into the picture. Similarly, every second of audio has a signature baked in.

4. The signatures aren't metadata that can be easily thrown away. They're watermarked into the picture and audio themselves in a way that's ~invisible & ~inaudible, but also robust to downsampling & compression. This is already technically possible.

5. Since we're signing every past second of the AV streams, this works for live video.

6. Viewers on the platform see a green check on videos with valid signatures; maybe they even see the creator's twitter handle if this is a reshare.

7. Like all social media innovations, the other major platforms copy it within the next 6 - 12 months. POTUS uses it. People come to expect it.

8. Long run: the public comes to regard any unverified video footage with suspicion.

Why won't this deepfake solution come to pass in the long run?
Wait, what do scruples have to do with how you handle GET and POST?
I doubt it's any of the two. At the scale they operate, they will have multi level checks - automated and manual. Some automated checks would approve the ad, and then if the ad is getting a huge reach and engagement, they may have a manual user to look at it again, and probably disapprove it. Same with how some images can be posted, and then removed later if they get good engagement

> The group pulled the ads before they were posted or paid for

This is just a way to create buzz about an upcoming study/report at Facebook's expense. I don't like Facebook, but if they/AP were really serious, we could see the report and look at the way they executed the whole experiment. The other data point is that how many did they try, cos as far as I know, they use AI to detect text on images. Probably not that effective in Thailand's local language.

One other aspect here, while Facebook deserves no sympathy, let's not forget misses happen even with editorial oversights. Let's not forget how NYT exclusive about nuclear weapons in Iraq was the final trigger for the war, and that report was false.
India has a huge problem with spam / robo callers. Also its common for individuals to have more than 1 phone number, see how popular dual sim phones are.

Also true caller adds security when you're from an under represented or a minority groups. I especially know women who use Truecaller to make sure they know who is calling / texting them from new numbers.
This post went viral back in 2020. I remember seeing it when he first did this using the wagon.

This actually was inspiration for a new "service" that's out there now, which is not publicized that much (because of obvious reasons).

There person running the service bought over 100 iPhones. They use Team Viewer to control all of them. The 100+ phones connect to 5 different hotspots, for internet access. They open up Google Maps on each phone and set the driving directions to a certain local business (the business paying for the service). Then, they literally drive to the business with all of the phones. This gets the business better Google Maps rankings, since it's "popular". Also, reviews are left using some of the accounts, as well as photos.
Building SaaS Products Efficiently on AWS
> That said, I'm using Docker for my current side project. Even if it never runs at scale, I just don't want to have to muck around with system administration, not to mention how nice it is to have dev and prod be identical.

This is why I use docker, at work and for my own stuff. No longer having to give a shit whether the hosting server is LTS or latest-release is wonderful. I barely even have to care which distro it is. Much faster and easier than doing something similar with scripted-configuration VMs, plus the hit to performance is much lower.
I think Literate Programming is fantastic when used to teach computational thinking.

On a side note, it seems a lot of the other commenters miss one of the best "features" of LP - minimizing repetition. Chunks of code can be reused and so patterns can become clearly evident. Also, chunks can be defined "out-of-order".

This entire discussion is about the law and the legal system. For Weiss’ degree to be remotely relevant to this discussion she has to have a law degree from Columbia. She doesn’t. She graduated in 2007 with a BA.

Python uses the `is` operator, which is semantically much more explicit (and arguably correct, though C#'s use of the `is` operator is probably more correct).

Kotlin uses `===`, which is another good option.

You don't have to. You can just use JSONB.
The ukrainian army is in the cities too though, it's collateral damage. If their objective was just to terrorize or genocide the ukrainians they would not restrict themselves to bombing cities that are currently part of the front.

I agree to some extent on the last part, right now is more important but it does not mean we have to whitewash the past. I didn't bring up the US, but even the current events do not justify historical revisionism. You can denounce what's happening now without saying it's worse than what our side did before.

Was wondering about multi-remote git workflow and found this: https://jigarius.com/blog/multiple-git-remote-repositories

This gets tougher with CI/CD though. How urgent is it to run your tests or deploy right now as opposed to when the outage is resolved later, or tomorrow? In emergencies I think you need ways to deploy without the CD pipeline (for those that can't currently).

In my experience there's always more work to do and downtime is a temporary inconvenience. Of course... my customers would be blowing up our phones and emails if we were down, threatening to quit, etc. I assume Github doesn't have quite the same level of pain when they have downtime.
