I'm from the hood.

I grew up on welfare, and with this in mind I'm extremely carefully who I'm around. If you've had such a privilege life that you can't understand what I'm trying to say. Good for you.

But for someone like myself, it's extremely easy for even a single person who's not on the right path to completely disrupt my life. Usually if someone doesn't have a bank account, they don't have legitimate work. Even hanging out with someone like this can get you locked up.

I will admit I'm extra careful given my background.

I'll give you another example. One of my friends had to break up with her husband since he was horrible with money and plugged her deep into credit card debt. Does this make her some horrible person lacking empathy. Of course not.

She just prefers to pay her bills on time.
Yep, got the alert for that one:

Different backgrounds does not imply different viewpoints.

Different viewpoints does not imply different backgrounds.
One of the best commentaries on DK is Tal Yarkoni’s, and he came to the (perhaps similar?) conclusion that DK is probably regression to the mean. https://www.talyarkoni.org/blog/2010/07/07/what-the-dunning-...

It bugs me that DK reached popular consciousness and get misinterpreted and misused more often than not. For one, the paper shows a positive correlation between confidence and skill. The paper is very clearly leading the reader, starting with the title. The biggest problem with the paper is not the methodology nor the statistics, it’s that the waxy prose comes to a conclusion that isn’t directly supported by their own data. People who are unskilled and unaware of it is not the only explanation for what they measured, nor is that even particularly likely, since they didn’t actually test anyone who’s verifiably or even suspected to be incompetent. They tested only Cornell undergrads volunteering for extra credit.
I think it's actually the next step; to get good at something you have to get good practice, and that requires good self-assessments and knowing how to practice the part you're weak on.

There are people who can't advance because they can't see the problem, and people who can't advance because they can't (or don't want to) correct it. The end result is the same though.
So what are the tricks
ISPs pay enough to politicians that it’s not a problem they really have to solve. It works out through game theory. Solving it requires playing better and beating them.

Not sure if the above case has been solved in M1 Mac

On x86 Mac, if the programs exceed the memory available, it would start swapping to disk too, though that is not as how Windows do swapping. On Windows, if I don't enable pagefile swap, some programs will crash even if there are so much memory available

Anyway, I do monitoring on memory usage on any OS that I use. Out of memory situation by people mostly is due to negligence, it's what it is. If people are unhappy because doing memory monitoring would waste their focus energy, just buy more computers
When I was a kid, my dad loved his dad jokes, especially terrible (great) puns. My mother attempted to enforce a, "puns only on Fridays" rule, that of course was never followed. Instead, every other day became an honorary Friday. We kids rolled with the laughs, and threw them right back. The tradition continues.
You misunderstand the ecosystem. Many folk program in Python because it’s largely forced upon them. It’s often the easiest language to work with for data science, ML Eng, or data engineering, despite many frameworks actually running in the JVM. It’s simply more accessible. The appeal of Python has not been its provenance or design for over 15 years, but rather the ecosystem.
Wonder if bragging about having the most naval carriers will be akin to having the most carrier blimps in the coming years.
Nearly every prominent conservative politician of the past ten years has come out publicly against "net neutrality".

Particularly when a state like California sets its own regulations.

And yet these are the very same people who will vigorously defend the rights of other states to pass laws that directly contradict Supreme Court decisions, or pre-existing Federal laws.
If your github username is "foo4711", create a "foo4711" repository and add a "README.md". Add some content, push it. Now visit your profile at https://github.com/foo4711 and the rendered README should be visible right at the top of your profile. You can use this to tell more about yourself, your projects etc...
The most shocking part is that there is someone who was willing to pay $280 for it.
As a data scientist, you make a strong point.

For me, python is mostly a calculator, and it seems faster to try a calculation and immediately see if it runs and/or looks correct, rather than try to implement type hints et al (though I still use type hints occasionally).
Idunno, I'm pretty sure I'm at least one of their target demographics - casual electronic musician with more money than free time who buys mostly portable gear for no easily justifiable reason whose been bought multiple battery powered mixer solutions and been waiting for a real one for almost a decade - and I still dropped my jaw pretty seriously at the price.

Im all for appreciating the engineering challenges you articulately outlined but price points like this just alienates anyone who isn't completely reckless with money. TE has gone in this direction before and my hope is always that it's the first prototype move towards a more available version of the product.

Would serious musicians buy this? Would fringe weirdo musicians buy it? Whose left other than wealthy dilettantes? I honestly don't know but I love this company and want to support them. My wife would just (rightly) leave me or put us in marriage counseling if I dropped this much money on this thing. And I really, really (really) want / need ("need") it...
It's interesting the II shows up so frequently once he mostly boiled it down. A lot of old-timey jammers playing the songs he analyzed just don't play any minor chords so that beginners can keep up, so they play the II where it should be ii. I wonder if that's why II and ii is almost the same frequency.
Exactly, any algorithm choice that resulted in lower engagement metrics would necessarily be something Twitter (and any social site really) would try and avoid at all costs.

It's why government regulation is probably the only way to fix the issue, since you need companies to act in a way that's counter to their own interests (but would lead to a better experience for users.)
I can relate to this. I too also get the "Dear Friend" emails from Chinese businesses wanting to semm me custom USB drives. Someone has to tell them to stop using "Dear Friend", as when I see it, I just hit delete.
That mostly because we've become accustomed to the federal government meddling in internal affairs more than it is supposed to. The union is supposed to be akin to the EU but without international sovereignty for states.
Even though I lack a medical degree I have a high degree of confidence that the intestines of most people are not sufficiently large enough to support that amount of faeces.
Ubuntu 22.04 LTS Eyes More Industrial Usage by Offering Up Real-Time Kernel Beta
Python libraries aren't representative of Python code. The majority of Python programmers (not "just sysadmins" wherever that slur comes from) never publish or contribute to any libraries.

I can compare Python's productivity to other languages, and it beats all of them so far. Another lesson I learned from working with statically typed languages: The quality of the code is more dependent on who writes it than on the language or even the ecosystem. But people are productive much sooner in Python than they are in C# or F#, and then we can work on the foot-gunning.

Python's productivity isn't a myth. This is proven by its popularity and by successful projects across academia and industry alike.
The first trick is simply "cut the end of the file off". This saves the adler32 checksum on the end of the zlib stream, the crc32 on the end of the IDAT chunk, and the entire IEND chunk.

This works because modern browsers have support for progressively rendering images that are still being downloaded - as a result, truncation is also handled gracefully.

However, this alone results in rendering errors - the last few rows of pixels end up missing, like this:

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/286612533757083648/96...

I don't know the precise reason for this, but I believe the parsing state machine ends up stalling too soon, so I threw some extra zeroes into the IDAT data to "flush" the state machine - but not enough to increase the file size.
Govt incompetence is a reality.

You can argue that govt need not be incompetent, but it's foolish to act as if the US govt is competent until it actually is competent.

That's true regardless of how good things could be if the US govt was competent.
"The first time I ate vegetables again I soon developed some kind of lethargy, but it was familiar, and had once been common. I realized that since I had stopped eating plants, I had not felt this at all. I thought it was just normal to eat dinner and not want to do anything for 1-2 hours? But when I only eat meat, I don’t get this. Eating plants, even just a bit, makes my stomach feel bloated— But I can eat 2lbs of steak in one sitting and feel great."

I consider myself vegetarian although not 100% strict and in the past 4/5 years I ate red meat when I wanted to try specific foods, or dishes and every single time I felt in the exact same way that the author felt when eating vegetables. When I eat red meat, I am tired, I don't sleep well, I can't exercise well and I can't concentrate. And all my (mostly) vegetarian friends feel the same way when eating red meat.

This to say that his single data point doesn't mean anything: most likely my body is not used to red meat anymore, in the same way that his is not used to vegetables anymore.
I think that while this is definitely true of opportunistic politicians who will take any advantage they can, I don't this is actually true of most people who actually believe in states' rights as a real principle (as opposed to a politically malleable one).

For instance, I have close family members who are strong free-market conservatives (to a pragmatic extent, not anarcho-capitalists or anything) who I consider to be good, decent, and intelligent people.

Across the board they support states' rights to make decisions about loads of things, even those things they personally don't want (e.g. drug legalization, public healthcare, climate change regulation).

Not saying that those tribally-minded "our team must win at all costs" folks don't exist, but those who actually believe in free-market conservative values for their own sake (as opposed to for the benefit of their "team") are, in my experience, just as reasonable as most other groups, and I think we can criticize hypocrisy without painting with such a wide brush.
EU closer to introducing a common Charger
This diet works well for my Scandinavian makeup, but it is very unethical in the world of today. I try to get most of my protein from plants. They don't make me feel physically great, but I can live with myself better doing so.
It doesn't really look so much like a privilege as it does just a special arrangement for a special case. Disney basically just controls its own county. The local government (that they control) collects the property taxes from Disney and then uses those taxes to build and maintain the roads, sewer, utilities and services like police and fire. The surrounding counties will now be able to get that property tax money, but at the same time they are now responsible for maintaining everything. The question is whether the surrounding counties can do that for the same cost that the Disney local government did.
I have the same, but less volume than you. I've had VERY confidential mail sent to me, and one time someone even tried to send me 1500 bucks, but alas I didn't know the password for the transfer :)

Sometimes I get so annoyed I do a password reset on their accounts. Gotta learn some how.
I like T-Mobile's zero-rating solution. Specific classes of data (sub-480p video) would be zero rated for all servers who filled out paperwork, no source-based discrimination. That made sense.

Also, kinda obviously, government emergency services (911, weather alerts, etc) being zero-rated just make sense.

I don't want zero rating to let FB subsidize plans that allow free access to FB. I think we can find some uses that avoid dystopia.

Natural evolution of protocols
Reading or entering codes from SMS is really risky. If the message doesn't say who it's from in the body, there's no safe way to proceed.

Let's say you're trying to create an account on website A. It sends says you need to confirm your phone number and sends you an SMS and you need to give it the code. The SMS says "Your verification code is 395724". Do you type it in? There's no way to know whether that was legitimately sent by website A, or was sent by one of the 100 other websites you have accounts on and was sent due to website A trying to hack that account.

Even if it does say "395724 is your Facebook Password reset code", 90.5% of people won't pay attention to it saying "Facebook" and will just type the code into whatever website they're trying to sign up for.[1]

More than a third of the grains produced by monocropping is used for animal feed. Beef is probably the worst kind of meat in terms of environmental impact.

Suggesting red meat is a more sustainable alternative is disingenous.
>it seems to me that, for DK to be 'surprising' (in the parlance of the OP), four phenomena must hold:

The surprising things about DK, to me at any rate, is how unvarying it is in application. Under DK people who are poor at something never think wow I really suck at this, or if they do they are such a minuscule part of the population that we can discount them.

I've known lots of people who were not good at particular things and did not rate themselves as competent at it, although truth is they might have claimed competence if asked by someone they didn't want to be honest with.
There are good reasons to solder things; it makes things cheaper, smaller, and lighter. These are all good properties to have. The M1 boards are almost comically small and light for what they do.

I'm not overly fond of the non-open nature of Apple (and most Android) hardware, but as long as x86 machines/PCs remain a viable open alternative (still the majority of the market) I'm not overly worried about this; I just don't buy Apple hardware.
> As we all know, Webster dictionary is all you need to know to pass a bar exam.

Then cite an opinion that found that a deception like the one originally outlined was legal, preferable one at an appellate level.

Because "have an agent do something for you and lie about it to deceive others" does not seem likely to be a sound basis for a legal scheme.

> And when you're in front of a judge and the jury, it's a bit more complicated than "because I said so".

"Can't be proven is court" is quite different than "being legal."
Grassfed livestock uses 15-20 times more land than CAFOs at an estimate of 91.9 million heads (us stock as of jan 2022 according to USDA census) you’ll quickly realize that meat consumption at current rates its impossible.

> I wonder if you could get most of the way there by exposing the workload (across different pipeline stages) to a materialized view recommender

yes! that's something we are trying to do, since we have a way to create signatures for SQL statements and subqueries are just SQL statements then we can get all the "signatures" a query use and compare if other queries are using the same signatures. Then just sort those queries by number of times used and put some other perf metrics like IO/CPU needed to compute it and you get a good starting point.

Microsoft did something similar with Azure, using bipartite graphs, their solution was more advanced as they also baked in constraints like "the materialized view can't be more than X GB in size" but the end result is the same. (https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/research/uploads/prod/2018/0...)
How big is your code base? I’ve worked with really large auto generated codes and mypy never took more than a minute or two to run. On more normal sized code bases it’s just a few seconds. It’s also incremental so subsequent runs are faster.

Compare that to a c++ project where it’s not unusual to have 10, 15, 30 min build times.

Or even worse, the time to wait for discovering the problem runtime in prod.

The type hints also help in IDE navigation, where there is zero time to wait, pycharm can go to definition or find references in under a second.
Most social science is shoddy, fake, or otherwise misleading (i.e. it proves nothing meaningful despite the claims of the researchers). If you believed every social science study you heard about, you'd be more wrong about the world than if you disbelieved them all.
Those same scientists used to tell us cigarettes are not harmful. Now we have the tools to do our own research. Read and verify.
>That's not how it works. It's more like each side pays for half.

Buying internet transit typically works by paying something based on max(ingress, egress) * bandwidth cost where bandwidth is measured at the 95th percentile of utilization for a month.
I do think our thoughts are constrained by language - not necessarily by its unavailability, but definitely by societal norms that make it transgressive to say or think certain things. Even mentioning that certain thoughts you could say are transgressive makes you transgressive in a totalitarian culture. Thus a sign with 7 or 8 asterisks like gets people thrown in jail in Russia now. That's not because a dictat came from on high, it's because a system that coerces speech always attracts enforcers, who also raise their children to be enforcers; it is much harder to move from a system of repression to one of openness than the other way. Culture tends toward repression in every human lifespan to date except for one generation in the modern world, a few in the 18th and 19th centuries, and possibly a couple in ancient Rome and Greece. Civilization might tend toward open dialog in the very long run, but it's a much longer and slower climb, and setbacks - enforcement of language or "right" thinking - can be devastating and take thousands of years to correct.
That's possible I guess, but at least some other relational dbs do allow that control, so it's not like it's impossible.
> But some of the companies responsible of the subscriptions, like Paypal, are assholes. They allow the creation of accounts without verifying the email, then refuse to admit it's their problem and do something about it.

+1. My OG name email has been mistakenly registered for a PayPal account, but there's no way I can go about disavowing the account, or removing my email address from it.

> I don't understand how anyone could oppose this.

Easy. If you operate a cell network, your bandwidth is extremely limited, so when it's congested, you throttle streaming video content so everything else is still fast. The same problems affect wired ISPs, but it's easier to run more fiber (often from a local office, not to homes) than to get more spectrum, install more towers, or create the next generation of wireless broadband.

The easiest, absurd case of cell networks falling over is at music festivals. They just don't have the bandwidth to handle thousands of people in a small area.
>Similarly, if you had never seen skilled skaters perform on TV.

Just this year, Angi (formerly Angie's List) did. I requested contact from a few providers for a specific home repair job. Not only did I get emails from other providers, but a few weeks later, I was on mailing lists for completely unrelated types of contractors.
> I think it was a chance to throw shade at Peterson, which is understandable.

I disagree, it was not understandable, it was just a plainly false statement.

According to Jordan's own statements, he went on those medications due to a severe reaction he had to something he ate (not due to his regular diet, but rather something he ate once): https://youtu.be/3ktjZhih3LQ?t=173

And I wholeheartedly disagree with your assessment of him. I don't agree with everything he says (in fact there are a fair number of things we do not see eye-to-eye on). However, he is obviously very intelligent, and unlike a large number of the media he has interacted with he has been decidedly civil in his discourse (even in the face of media figures who were purposefully being unfair and uncivil, trying to score points on him and make him appear to be something that he is not).
Does anyone know how easy it is to install other distributions, e.g. CentOS with the Asahi kernel?
That second paragraph resonates. Particularly "simple solutions". To some degree I wonder if the modern pace of change is a destablising force in peoples lives too, which is why they want simple solutions.

With UAP, irksome as they are, I take consolation knowing the money they spent to reach me is money wasted and not spent reaching someone else. Somewhat spiteful I guess, and not healthy but is what it is.
To me it was clear on the day when they pulled the plug and dumped everyone back into regular gmail: this was a product that was worked so well, that you no longer saw things that you were not going to interact with and were not wasting your time in this attention economy. And that was a “bees against honey” situation and it not allowed to continue.

A replication crisis indeed exists. All the more reason to analyze rigorously. Poor analyses (and borderline name-calling) in the original article do not help with the crisis.
The open question this raises to me is why a DK=true set of data would show up with the same graph as a uniformly random set

What I'm really missing is a plot of the data without the aggregation. I find it very strange that X is broken down into quartiles but Y isn't, and when in quartiles, people estimated their skills relative to each other quite well: the line still goes up, and from bottom to top, would be a perfect X to X corelation
