I don't consider VADER as suitable for tackling sentiment analysis but perhaps we have a different understanding of 'tackling sentiment analysis'. In my view, 'tackling sentiment analysis' requires doing sentiment analysis well, which no systems currently do.

Decent sentiment analysis is a yet unsolved problem and current state of art solutions (mostly based on large pretrained langugage models like BERT, leveraging transfer learning from very large unlabeled corpora) are not sufficiently accurate, and of course neither is VADER. As soon as you go beyond simple binary polarity (blatantly positive/negative sentiment) and something more informative like various five-way sentiment tasks, or aspect-based sentiment or determining sentiment targets, sentiment analysis still has a long, long way to go.

Current ML solutions are a possible way to tackle sentiment analysis because while the current models are not good enough, we have evidence showing that with increased model and data size they improve and perhaps might result in sufficiently good sentiment analysis someday. Perhaps not, and we'll need something else; but at least they have some potential.

VADER and similar methods are not a way to tackle sentiment analysis because not only the current VADER model is not nearly good enough, it's clear that they can't scale to anything much better than that. Adding extra surveys to increase the lookup table quickly hits diminishing returns (unlike ML systems where we consistently see that ever larger models continue to get improvements), and if they can't even reach the current bar of ML models (which still are not good enough) then they can't bring us to the level of sentiment analysis where we want to be, they are a dead end.

Tackling sentiment analysis also requires handling a wide variety of languages, not only English, which is yet another aspect where data-driven models have an advantage over systems that require extensive human labor for each new language.

I mean, we all (me included!) want to believe that human knowledge encoded in rules can work, intuitively it's a very appealing concept, however, it does not work out in practice and IMHO in the end we all have to learn to accept the Bitter Lesson (http://incompleteideas.net/IncIdeas/BitterLesson.html).
For the same reason we don't trust media, politicians, etc. Because they are bought and paid for. They are glorified grifters like everyone else. The elites have an agenda to push. They buy the experts, media, politicians they need to achieve their ends. Of course it's not all experts, media, politicians. But there is enough that it taints everyone.
But you have no solution, you just condone killing a few people in your own country because surely that will do something.

The fact that you can't even understand this is a global problem and just figure "someone over there can handle that part of the project" is telling.

Can someone ELI5 to me the physics behind the divergent part of a de Laval nozzle? I know that in a straight pipe subsonic flow tends to accelerate towards M=1 and supersonic flow tends to slow down towards M=1, I know what choked flow is and generally how the convergent-divergent design works, but for the life of me I can't find anywhere an understandable, non-hand-wavy explanation of WHY supersonic flow in a divergent nozzle does what it does.

Principles of congestion pricing were applied rather successfully in electricity markets.

Having public congestion prices for electricity makes it easier for investor to understand what needs funding ; do we need more power plants, or more electric lines?

I whish these principles could be applied elsewhere, since ''congestion pricing'' often reflect the need for better systemic public infrastructure (aka a network or a market maintenance cost), while ''regular prices'' are often tied to private business (aka a node, or an entrepreneur).

Even amounts of men and women express not wanting children in surveys. Reasons behind this are presumed to be for lifestyle or economic.

In the stats though - about 25% of men today don’t have children. Less than 15% of women don’t have children. There are 50%+ more men without children than women. If you talked to these men though, you’d know it’s not because they didn’t want kids but because they never were able to have them. No woman wanted to have kids with them.

This is true for our history as well. Men had children about 40% of the time back in the old days. Women still hit the same amount as they did before - ~80%. We hit a recent phenomenon where men were catching up with women. I think we’ll continue to see a decline in men having children as the stats show this trend continuing to go down. This isn’t because men don’t want children - it’s mostly because the women don’t want children with the men available to them.

We can see this same pattern with sex for young men and women. The rate of sexlessness for young men is growing exceptionally fast compared to young women. It’s not because men don’t want sex - it’s because women don’t want sex with the men available to them.
> TV is watched by many audiences, but teenagers aren't it
> so, why put an ad designed for teenagers on a platform that teenagers don't consume?

Have you considered that your assumptions are flawed?

- Maybe enough “teenagers” see TV for these fairly low-production-cost ads to pay off.

- Maybe these videos appeal to older demographics that want to feel more connected with youth culture

- Maybe TikTok appeals to a broad demographic itself, and isn’t strictly “for teenagers”

- Maybe it’s an experiment that’ll take a couple years to play out

- Maybe advertising isn’t maximally efficient

etc

If you’re this confused about why something widespread is happening, a good place to look first are your own assumptions
Chrome web standard proposal: Fenced Frames
Eh, Range has a lot of really weird stuff going on that is worth shying away from if possible. For instance they're Iterator and not Copy so if you try to iterate over them multiple times or pass them as indices multiple times, you're gonna have a bad time (i.e., you'll need to clone every time you do). Usize is Copy, so you can use them to construct a Range every time you need one and never run into those issues.
Cashback rewards are largely worthless and so small as to be negligible IMHO. I can understand the extreme-couponing aspect for people who budget down to the penny, but for me it's basically useless.
Sure, but if you're a weirdo then the problems you have are not necessarily marketable.

To answer the first question, the list of trusted CAs is set by the browser/OS root store. They start from standards like the CA/Browser Forum Baseline Requirements (cf. https://cabforum.org) and then apply their own criteria as they deem appropriate. For government CAs, they sometimes don’t use the applicable public audit standards (WebTrust, ETSI), so the root stores have to decide individually whether the audit standard the entity in question does apply is sufficient to meet their requirements.

Worth noting that there’s an effort underway in the EU to take that decision out of the hands of browsers and mandate inclusions for EU CAs that meet the EU’s QWAC TSP standard, which would presumably include OP’s Spanish govt. CA.

For the inability to modify those lists on iOS, I’m with you: I would want to see the same level of modification ability for mobile platforms that we currently have on desktop OSes, but it’s up to Apple to implement that.
What a coincidence. Pyro has basically become my go to for Bayesian learning and I know those docs in and out. I’ve also skimmed that David Blei article before. Small world. I’m not very confident of success but it seems like an interesting path to explore.
Experience Report: 6 months of Go
On the one hand, it does not strike me as unreasonable to point out that experience suggests that this, too, will turn out to be an experimental or methodological error.

Nor do I think it is unreasonable to point out that this result, if correct, would not validate supersymmetry (if that is, in fact, the case.)

On the other hand, the fact that supersymmetry isn’t a theory, but a property of a class of models that can be tweaked to fit a broad range of experimental results (again, if that is, in fact, the case) does not rule out the possibility that the LHC could have found evidence that strongly supported one specific theory that happens to be supersymmetric. Hossenfelder seems to be saying that the LHC definitively ruled out what was considered to be the most plausible candidate(s), which would imply there was at least one such falsifiable theory. Allegations of incompetence or mendacity should not be made lightly, and unless the promoters of the LHC routinely said supersymmetry in general might be disproved, the allegations seem unwarranted.
I’ve been told that for brick and mortar retail, credit cards are sometimes more desirable because you might have more than their fees in shrinkage with cash. Even if it’s not more, it might make those fees easier to eat. I think it depends a lot on the specifics of the business.
If you see the message, and you didn't unlock the bootloader, somebody else unlocked the bootloader, and you should apply the appropriate level of distrust to the device. I agree that the message could be made more secure by displaying some hash of the system partition, so if you unlock the bootloader deliberately, you will know if somebody else replaced your modifications. Not displaying the message at all, as you've suggested, is a huge security risk.
If you actually want epub on a kindle, they released a new jailbreak a bit ago. Shipping stock of kindles are probably vulnerable. You can then install koreader: https://koreader.rocks/

Perhaps the appeal of Christianity was just happenstance or perhaps it hit a sweet spot that would have worked well even a large empire (with a large number of slaves etc) that would have originated from a Punic civilization and its religion, myths, culture.

It would have likely looked very different from this Christianity, possibly to the point that we'd barely recognize any similarity.

Former Navy (nuclear propulsion) here. That by no means makes me an expert, by I will share a couple of thoughts:

Ships rust. Officers don't chip paint and paint. Technical enlisted and NCOs don't chip paint and paint either. Junior, and especially unrated (not trained in a vocational area yet) enlisted do. This looks like a simple case of being undermanned, and/or having "too many chiefs and not enough braves". Reality is that it probably has to do with pay rates for Enlisted. Fedex pays $36-$42k/yer for package handlers. An E-1 makes $21k/year base. With all benefits, you might be at parity with Fedex, but you give up a lot of freedom.

I'll commit a little naval heresy here but surface ships are probably nearing obsolescence if not already obsolete. They are slow, easy to find, and hypersonics, drones, cruise missiles, aircraft and submarines are just incredibly lethal, and perfect point defense doesn't exist. The sinking of the Moskva is really just a sign of the times. The carrier battle group may fare better because of the range of air cover and subsurface escorts, but we're in an era of weapons that can kill a carrier with a single hit.

"Usually there is language in the contract with the processor agreement that prevents businesses from charging different prices for credit card vs non credit card buyers."

I don't believe that is the case. However, they usually prohibit a surcharge for using a credit card - but they don't (can't?) prohibit a discount for cash. To get around that you'll sometimes see "listed price reflects cash discount - add X% if using a credit card".

At those dollar amounts, they probably made out roughly the same. David would also be worth about a billion (similarly, mostly from Seinfeld), if he hadn't divorced.
The reason free speech is special is that it can be used to rescuscitate the other rights if they are infringed, at far lower catastriphic risk than, say, freedom to bear arms.

Just because it's been phased out at Google doesn't mean it's not worthwhile. There's a lot to be learned and a lot of value to be gained out of building GFS before Colossus (Though that example is getting out of date - I would no longer recommend that anyone try to build a GFS-Patterned distributed filesystem, but for several years after the party I attended to celebrate the final death of GFS I would still recommend that new-unicorns looking to build their own distributed filesystem layer go for the GFS Architecture first).

There's a lot of techniques and tools that are no longer in favor at Google not because they're not the best available SRE tools, but because that's how far Google has fallen from grace.

I guess I would say that I'm interested in a desultory way, but without urgency.

I've achieved a good adaptation to it, and my life proceeds mostly as if I didn't have it now, as long as I observe some rules: regular schedule, good nutrition, regular low-impact exercise. (If my exercise gets too high-impact then I cross into the kind of fatigue I cannot easily recover from.)

I do follow science and medical news related to it. The present state of affairs as I currently understand it is that it's still a syndrome rather than a disease, which basically means it's a big bag of symptoms without an agreed-upon underlying cause or mechanism. There's some evidence that ties it somehow to the Epstein-Barr virus (and, perhaps coincidentally, one of my kids had mononucleosis in the months before I developed the syndrome). There's also some evidence that suggests that susceptibility to it is heritable. Some researchers have hypothesized that it's an epigenetic disorder--that is, a genetic disease that is activated by an environmental trigger (such as a viral infection--a large fraction of CFS cases start with a viral infection).

Someone published some work that claims that folks with CFS have distinctively abnormal calcium metabolism, which might account for the difficulty recovering from fatigue.

There are still some people who think it's psychosomatic, or mostly psychosomatic, too.

That's about as much as I remember off the top of my head. As I say, I'm interested, but not urgently so. I seem to have found my accommodation.

Civilizations have to collapse for progress. Civilizations always stagnate. Otherwise, the mesopotamians, ancient egyptians, ancient chinese, ancient indians, etc would have given us smartphones.

Falsifying supersymmetry is like falsifying Ptolemaic epicycles. You can never falsify it with data because epicycles can always be constructed to fit any data set [1]. Likewise, a sypersymmetric theory can be constructed to fit any set of parameters. But fitting the data is not enough. You have to fit the data with substantially fewer parameters than data points. That's the challenge.

Why I Dislike "Why I Dislike John Oliver".

It's because of this quote:

To be more specific, what’s really missing from Oliver is skin in the game. He
weighs in on controversial political topics. Unlike an actual politician
however, Oliver’s constituency is people who want to chuckle.

About skin in the game: so what? Which of the legendary guys-reading-news-from-a-desk have had skin in the game? Walter Cronkite did not. Alan Brinkley did not. They are reporting the news, that's the job. They aren't supposed to be providing first-person reports as participants in the news being reported.

This is also wrong about the constituency. There are better ways to get yuks. I see John Oliver as making news appealing to those who might otherwise be ignorant. The righteousness often present is certainly part of that same kind of appeal.
It looks more closer to go routines, which to me begs the question - where are the channels that I could use to communicate between these virtual threads?
I'm not sure where you are getting 10,000 dependencies from.

>Visa is charging 2% for every transaction? [...] Do they provide anything in return?

VISA and its member banks + payments processors/gateways provide the financial network to give sellers (like you) the ability to accept VISA credit cards.

To put the "financial network" into more concrete terms, here are some open job listings to program the mainframes in San Francisco that VISA runs to process billions of transactions:

E.g. Some of that 2% processing fee pays for those developer salaries. Also, pays for the datacenter, mainframe computers, etc.
Yeah, the question might stem from someone overemphasising that stars don't live forever which lead to the generalisation that everything in astronomy collapses.

I have a 2014 Kindle Voyage, bought it early 2015 and it still functions really really well. Although I was starting to feel its age given that I had to connect it to the computer manually to transfer books for calibre... but I have jailbroken it and installed koreader and it truly feels like a perfect device.

Wireless transfers of epubs is just a marvel. Now the only thing holding me back is that it's a micro usb device instead of USB C but damn. I really love this machine.

Only minor bug is that the hardware buttons don't work well in koreader after sleep, but exiting and re-entering the application fixes it; annoying but I don't really care enough to do something about it.
