Are you saying their products are beautiful, or ugly crap? It seems ambiguous which one is referring to Apple.

Beauty is subjective.

Good art is not necessarily beautiful. I suspect there's more interesting potential for art/tech collaboration not in the beautiful parts, but in the ability to create something thought provoking.
So? I commented on deleted entries 20+ years ago I saw, about a new site that shows deleted entries.

Even the historical comments are deleted, why would they want to ban the debates.

Yeah, no agenda anywhere. /s
"truly believing in Democracy"

Right, the reason Democracy degenerates is due inherent disagreement, and the fact a democracy can still vote to stop being a democracy.

It only has one goal, namely not to let a small group of individuals take control. If a small group of individuals then influences the many, the point is rather moot.

But anyways, yeah. Don't censor anything. Instead let people do their own censorship, by which I don't mean censor themselves but censor other for themselves.

Everyone has things they dont want to or can't hear but nothing is unworthy of being said, not even blatantly false or disruptive things.
Simply not true. For every (actual, not just FLG disinfo) overreach of Beijing you can find one for Washington

> “Wikipedia is a democracy”

Given that the majority is not an expert on any particular topic, I suppose that is not a good thing, so I would be surprised if it were true.
I'm sure you can figure it out. I believe in you. (And that response is because I'm 100% treating your question in good faith and not "I know why I would, but also I know why I wouldn't and prefer that, so I'll pretend I don't know why I would".)
Is there anything that schmidhuber hasn't done before everyone else?

Take a look at qt
“Panzer” in a very general protective sense translates to “Armour”. Brustpanzer -> Chest armour. Even a turtle’s shell is a Panzer. Typically a hard enclosure protecting the main body of a thing. But not its extremities. A “helmet” is a “Helm”. Though any element can be “gepanzert”, or “armoured”.

It is important to note that Panzer mostly refers to protection from violence. A civilian car is never “gepanzert”, neither is a padded skateboarder. Unless you’re mocking something. A Chelsea tractor is an Hausfrauenpanzer. One exception I can think of is the Rückenpanzer, or spine protector.

In a contemporary military context, a Panzer is any armoured vehicle. The definition is indeed looser than in English. The equivalent of tank (or main battle tank, MBT) is Kampfpanzer. Fighting tank.

An IFV like the M2 is a Schützenpanzer. Shooter/gunner/rifleman’s tank.

But when using Panzer to describe a specific vehicle, as opposed to a general category, I too would expect it to refer to an MBT. But I could be wrong here.
I moved to Seattle from my hometown of Phoenix out of college for my "dream job" at Amazon. I started interviewing for other employment after just three months. I ended up quitting after eight months.

Amazon is a horrible place to work. Six years is a lifetime there.
You don’t hear about people who aren’t famous doing this because they don’t have a microphone — no one pays attention to them when they leave. That’s kind of the entire point of someone with a very high profile doing this — the rest of us wouldn’t have the same external impact because no one has heard of us.

Some people who sympathize with his position at Apple are far more senior than he is, would have far greater internal impact if they left, and you’ve never heard of them and wouldn’t see press about them leaving. ML happens to be the one place at Apple where public profiles outside the executive suite are encouraged.
Or in the words of Moby Dick's Ishmael, "I take the good old fashioned ground that the whale is a fish, and call upon holy Jonah to back me".
No, it is anti-union rhetoric. Assembling a union isn't assembling an army. We can start saying that unions are only necessary when management is bad right after we start saying that management should only have meetings when their employees are bad.

edit: They only say three things - 1) unions aren't necessary if management are good people, 2) unions are an invasion of people from the outside who either don't understand how good our management is or are fomenting discontent for their own foreign purposes, and 3) management is actually fighting against you for you, because if they gave you everything you wanted the place would close down and you would lose your job. You're saying thing number 1.

Much better than these and shaving soap / brush, is Somerset's Shaving Oil[1]. King of Shaves do a shaving oil too, but it's nowhere near as good. Not affiliated, I just love the stuff.

You can use it with shaving soap too, but I just use it on its own.

At one point I was worried the company might go under so I bought a big box of it just in case. It's not a great business model as one little bottle lasts months. You only use 3 drops per shave.

But deciding about an unborn child's body isn't. I really don't think your position is as incontrovertible as you're suggesting, which is why this issue doesn't have any easy answers.
A couple contenders off the top of my head:

1. Defending pseudoscience (as long as it’s related to nutrition and exercise)

2. Disgust with “marketing people” and anyone with an MBA

3. Hating “woke” culture

4. Justifying piracy
Thank you! From my experience if you can get say Zoom or Meet to work in the network you're trying to deploy weron in, you'll get weron working as well. And if the traversal still doesn't work - just specify a TURN server on the `--ice` flag and it will definitely work through relay ^^
I think OP's point is that convenience becomes the default rather than an active choice.

Once people have forgot about the less-convenient alternatives, they can't accurately price convenience anymore and will just pay whatever is the market rate for the convenience product (be it coffee pods or razor cartridges).
Coincidentally running/walking/crawling around the countryside is one of my key investments since rearranging my portfolio. I can heartily recommend it.
In twenty years, we're going to look at classifiers in the same way we look at pre-Google search engines. They are buggy as hell because the classification problem is incredibly ill posed.

DALL-E2 is a fantastic example of zero-shot learning working spectacularly well. It's able to combine various concepts interchangeably.
Partially but no, it’s comparatively pretty bad after playing with it a lot.

It seems to be based on a much older and more literal algorithm where it buries a relevant post on page 3 just because the keyword was not perfectly in the title.

Probably intentional or they just don’t prioritize since a small % of people use it.

Better to use “site:” search for your fav blogs instead.
Ah. I kept thinking "as Costner showed us, things weren't so good in Water World." You bring up good points.
Only if it's strong enough to be obvious there's a signal there to begin with. The idea behind SS is to use more bandwidth than necessary, often much more, so that a much-worse SNR can be tolerated.

Many spread-spectrum applications such as GPS use signals that are well below the thermal noise floor by the time they're received. Those signals generally can't be detected without a known sequence to correlate them against.
Find a supervisor that you like working with - that's much more important than the specific topic you pick. And then talk to that supervisor about potential topics.
I think the fundamental problem with that approach is that even in single threaded code rust makes it illegal to have to have two pointers where at least one is mutable to the same state. So I can pass in a `&mut State` pointer, but then I can't also pass in a `&mut AnElementInSomeListInState` pointer. Nor can I really have `AnElementInSomeListInState` just have a parent pointer to the rest of the state, because someone has to have a `&mut State` pointer, and they would conflict (also because doubly linked lists are hard in rust).
The article itself brought up the point:

" The double edged razor has become a product that you can only buy on the internet, and which you will only buy if you know that it exists."

How did you learn of this product? Have you ever seen ads for one? I only knew of them because I've seen it discussed online (in the context of "shaving club websites") but you'd be kidding yourself to think that that's something everyone would stumble on.

Electric razors are an alternative, and I've seen them in shops although they were expensive enough that it might be hard for some. I'm sure they can picked up at low prices elsewhere, but again, that will vary by location. Straight razors I've heard of (thanks to Sweeney Todd and old cartoons), but I've never once seen them for sale anywhere. I guess growing a beard with scissors is an option for workplaces that allow beards, but I wouldn't trust myself to do it well enough for a job interview. Another option might be an old fashioned barber shop too, but while I'm sure they still exist I've never seen or been to one that offered shaves.

It really all just depends so much on where you are and what you've been exposed to. When you're counting on the masses to have identical access, experience, knowledge and behavior to drive changes on store shelves I don't think you'll find much success and I don't think we have to depend on speculation there since we can see from the state of store shelves now that things have not been working out to our benefit.
You may have more time, once in practice. I recall a couple of decades ago, it seemed every doctor in the country was learning to program, so he could automate his office. But, it turned out that was taken over by large corporations (as usual!) capitalizing on the need to integrate patient records with big hospitals and insurance systems.
I love the transparency! Even if no one was affected.
On mobile (Android) I use 'Markor' (it's on F-Droid), which is a notetaking application for Markdown, that understands folder hierarchies as notebooks and thus is compatible with Obsidian on the desktop. I use Syncthing to sync.
Good for him and good for all the others that are able to do this (resign and find a new full remote job). For the rest of us it’s going to be a struggle to persuade our companies that WFH is well suited for a percentage of the workforce and they should offer it if they want to keep good/skilled workers. WFH is not for everybody and there are many people that want to return to offices, but the companies that realize that can offer both will come out of this better staffed ;-)

Too bad the wikipedia article comments are deleted.
I mean, FIDO itself doesn't care about the web, and so doesn't care about phishing. But, in the context of the web you'd use WebAuthn, which replaced U2F (because it's an actual W3C standard with multiple implementations) and yes that's protected from phishing.

Specifically, FIDO binds credentials to a "Relying Party ID". For WebAuthn that's effectively the DNS name of your server, which is why it's protected from phishing.

The W3C publishes the entire WebAuthn spec. so if you care you can read it and see how it works.

If you're using FIDO in some other context (e.g. smartphone apps can do this via Android or iOS APIs) your RPID is based on that context, so e.g. the real Hacker News Android phone app (if such a thing existed) can't be impersonated by a dozen third party knock-off "Hack-a-News" and "News for Hackers" apps.
What do you mean by that? My manager at my last job was in a union. There was, however, a separate union for managers and one for ICs.
Ah, ok I see your point. I think you’re missing out on one of life’s great joys not taking an interest in cooking! But, to each their own.
They pretend to that. But the fact is, nothing in the Constitution authorizes the President to waste anybody he wants, nor is the Congress authorized to extend such a privilege to the President. It would take a constitutional amendment to extend such a privilege, and that has not happened.

So, every argument that it is already legal is necessarily specious, from the outset, and succeeds only because the people responsible for prosecuting abuses are refusing to do their assigned job. This is how lawful government is subverted everywhere it happens. And, it does happen everywhere it is not stopped.
Or just to do what he did. Ian Goodfellow and probably all his team will have no problem finding another job in the condition they want. Apple don't have any monopole on AI jobs.
2020 - The year of secure supply chain.

2021 - THE year of secure supply chain.

2022 - THE YEAR OF SECURE SUPPLY CHAIN.

Working in this general space, I can say that this is only going to get worse before it gets better. Many people are rallying behind pushing towards best security practices however.

The dash requirement is interesting given it's somewhat of a pseudo prefix/namespace. Good that this was caught now and looks to not be exploited.
I disagree. Not thinking of a thesis topic myself, does not mean I wasted two years of my life. I learned a lot during those years. I also learned that I do not know a lot. There are people who have been a long time in the field (or in other fields) who have interesting problems to work on, but lack the time or resources to work on them. Therefore it seems a reasonable question to ask.
Until you want something different from those who wield power in the union. At least I can quit my job and work for a different company. In heavily unionized industries, you can't escape.
> There is no drone that carries the same level of explosiveness as a singular tank round.

Yes. That seems to be why Ukrainian drones and Javelin missiles are having such an easy go of popping the turrets off of Russian tanks. You need just a small explosion to get thing started, and then the tank's onboard supply of explosives does the rest of the job for you.

> A tank can fire 40 of these at you in something like 5 minutes.

Once it gets into position. The major limitations of tanks here are that they are direct-fire platforms, and that they are big and noisy and difficult to hide. That's a real problem if you're up against an enemy with modern indirect fire capabilities, or effective anti-tank small arms.
Ha. I haven't been told this but I feel like I am a lot better in a professional environment after a few drinks. Sober me is just so rigid and hard to engage. I guess this is true for most people though.
I’ve enjoyed this little exchange and you’ve given me some things to think about. Thanks!
I don't get the fuss about such posts. At the end of the day, it boils down to your personal choices. You love to remote work, find a job with a flexible work policy. You don't, well, here are another companies you would love to work for.

Ultimately, markets (including job market) is all about equilibrium.
Either companies are going to increase the salary to come back [or reduce if you are staying back at home].

The thing which matters the most is picking up the best option for yourself. [and don't _always_ wait for your company to catch up]
In my previous job in Germany. Sector: Tech and Research. Excellent managers, amazing WLB (worked till 8PM once and the manager apologised next day), well paid: earning the median income straight out of college.

Had an excellent union and everyone in company hierarchy worked cordially and yet deferentially with them.

Unions are not necessarily a form of attack. Unionise.

Can someone explain to me how this is a better approach than, say, a password manager and TOTP 2FA?

I can think of a few downsides: 1) in the US at least, being compelled to provide biometric identification for all accounts, 2) single hardware device point of failure, on top of that being the most often lost, stolen or damaged hardware device. And all the benefits I can see with it are already served by password managers and TOTP, which the manufacturers can just ship by default if they want to, the tools are there already. And I can back it up in whatever way I choose, securely.

So what's the upside?
It’s clear from the content of the message that he wants more flexibility personally _and _that he wants to set an public example. I don’t see why this is a problem. There is nothing inherently wrong with doing good things and being seen to do good things.
Having seen how several family members fared in union jobs (several different unions), I swore I'd never belong to a union or work any job that required me to be part of one.

They all had such an adversarial relationship with work. It's always us against them mentality. They could never see anyone in management as a human. I can't imagine living like that.

As far as I can tell, the unions didn't ever solve any of their biggest gripes, took money out of their paychecks for lots of non-work related political activities, and didn't come through when they really needed to on things like pensions or healthcare.
the US did much worse in the middle east, but for some reason people think they went there to do some baby sitting
TL;DR: don't ask what they can do to the tank. Ask what the tank can do to them.

Also, every single piece of military equipment can be destroyed about as easily as a tank if it's not integrated within some sensible mission. Maybe the method is more expensive for aircraft and for ships, but so are those pieces of equipment.
With a black hole the mass is concentrated in a much smaller location than it is in a planet. Which means you can get a hell of a lot closer to the centre of mass of the black hole, which is where you start getting the extreme gravitational forces that you would never get on a planet
The gamer's language for these things actually seems to be pretty relevant. A tank needs to be able to move forward into the thick of the battle, and be able to give and receive a dishing.

A WoW warrior class is a tank. It can give and receive a dishing. A DnD rogue class is not a tank. It would not move forward into battle in a frontal assault, with the intent of pushing a breakthrough.
This is the best advice and the largest mistake I made when going to grad school. I was not engaged with what my advisor was interested in and doing. They (kinda rightly) didn't give a shit about anything outside of their lab's scope of work. Find an advisor whose niche is related to what you find interesting. Otherwise don't expect much attention or feedback from them.
In fact, there's even a (mildly insane) proposal to intentionally add Teflon to food, because the extra mass makes you feel full even though the Teflon just passes right through you.
I have time now :), in residency! And I should have more time as I go further in training!

I'm one of those misfits/troublemakers/etc. I've done my life mostly on my terms, and I've had it really tough. Conformists generally get it much easier. I'm all for more independent thought and fuck-you-ness but never forget that for most people that comes at a high price, so take off the rose-tinted specs.
Okular works nicely for .cbz files (zip files of images.) Oddly, it won't open the same files named with a .zip extension. Not a terrible inconvenience, just a little odd.

My favorite okular feature is the way click-and-drag to pan wraps around between the top and the bottom of the screen. Excellent UX.

I would assume that if Google is paying 10$/hour for humans to rank content, someone else is paying 11$/hour to fool it with a human generating content, clicks, etc.

Additionally, people writing bots learn just like Google learns, and start generating what appears to be legitimate interactions. Same algorithms that fit to critique between 'bot' and 'non-bot' class can be used to create bots that fall into the 'non-bot' category.

It's a losing battle - but what we get is better than we would get if they collected less data.
> Btw that quote is describing the potential customers of Apple, not employees

Why does that matter? Does Apple not want the most talented, world-changing people working on their products? If your marketing sounds good for customers but dumb for employees, particularly in knowledge-driven work, then maybe your marketing is just hypocritical?
How many is a lot?
Same here. I currently work at a very prestigious tech company and I’m surprised by how boring it actually is.

There’s hardly anyone around in the office and frankly I couldn’t care less about the free stuff. They pay me enough that I can go out and buy my own snacks.

What I want is a team to learn from and grow. Not some teachers pets that sit behind zoom calls making sure they know exactly what’s “on the test” so they make themselves look better.

I’ll never work somewhere 100% remote or where employees don’t have an expectation of at least 3 days in the office.

Mind you, being able to spend a day a week at home vs full week in the office is quite nice.
Agree on the soaps + badger hair brush (or even synthetic for those who care).

The NLRA says "Nothing herein shall prohibit any individual employed as a supervisor from becoming or remaining a member of a labor organization, but no employer subject to this Act [subchapter] shall be compelled to deem individuals defined herein as supervisors as employees for the purpose of any law, either national or local, relating to collective bargaining."

...which effectively states that if a supervisor joins a union it's a no-op. The employer is not required to acknowledge their membership. In practice, unions specifically exclude managers for a bunch of obvious reasons related to their ability to bargain effectively on behalf of their members.

Your manager likely joined a union-ish entity open to supervisors. IIUC such entities are not protected by the NLRA and as such have few of the legal powers and protections that make a union a union. They’re basically affinity groups.
Seems like you should just go with what you you know best.

Taking 10x longer doesn't seem like a language problem. If you don't know bash well you're going to take even longer to do it in bash than in python.

In any case the task you described is pretty much the same in python as in bash. At worst the python is going to be more more verbose.

python -c "print(len(set(w for l in list(open('test.txt')) for w in l.split())))"

vs

tr ' ' '\n' < file_name | sort | uniq -c | wc -l
Same here. Except I also hate wasting time on commuting, not having the flexibility to take care of a home-related task in the middle of the day, etc. So the experiment to find a balance has begun…
