Let me ask and answer some questions here that doesn't answer your question directly.

What makes a good book and why there are tons of them on the same subjects?

The best book for you is the one that speaks to your technical preparation and perspective. A few hits the sweet spot for a broad audience - perhaps because they are good at drawing analogies with common experiences - but even some obscure books can be good if it aligns with what your background.

How can a mentor help and can you do without one?

A mentor can help lay out the roadmap to build from simple topics to more difficult ones. Maybe more critically, provide rapid feedback on your understanding. They can also explain things in more than one way. Some textbooks do lay out the roadmap reasonably well, provided that it starts from concepts that you are already familiar with (again, you need to find the right book for you). Problem sets in textbooks are meant to provide feedback on your understanding, but it often fails to provide smaller hints if you can't solve the problem outright. You could get a set of solutions for the problems and that could partially help. Grabbing multiple textbook on the same subject can also help understand the most commonly covered (and by implication most essential) elements on the subject, and also give you multiple explanations of the same concept (though not always).

Takeaway message?

You could potentially try to pick up multiple books on the same subject and try to learn this way. Follow the one that speaks to your background most closely, but the others are also likely to help.

Unfortunately the European Parliament doesn't have enough power to check the European Commission. They can't approve or reject specific members of the commission, because the commission as a whole is a done deal between the national governments, and they'd have to reject the entire commission as a whole, which they're a lot more reluctant to do (because there are also always some good people in the commission).

I don't think that's the underlying problem. The youtube algorithm sees people searching for something, watching a video and then liking it. How should it not conclude that the content was useful for the watcher? Probably it even _was_ useful and gave them the info needed to solve their problem.

So why did they consume this content on YouTube and not on Stack Overflow?
Because that's the way they are used to searching for answers. Probably because they feel videos are in general easier to understand. Or they come from a background where YouTube videos usually provide the best quality answers (home improvement comes to mind immediately).

For those of us that know how these videos are made, they feel like spam at best and a giant scam that rips off Stack Overflow at worse (though this use is allowed by the license), but I don't see what incentives Youtube should have to ban them.

> This came as a surprise to me because I have only learned about it recently (during the last year or so), even though I've been voting in the European elections ever since my country joined the EU (in 2007). And I liked to think of myself as reasonably well-versed when it comes to politics, and, as such, I'm pretty sure the majority of the European electorate doesn't know that basic thing either. I mean, it's the European Parliament, no? They're the ones who suggest and propose laws, no? That's why we elected them there, no?

I don't know, i was taught this in high school (my country also joined in 2007), and I've never been left with the impression that people I've discussed EU laws with are unaware of how power is shared in the EU.

However, the EU parliament is not a rubber stamp. There's a wide variety of political leanings represented in it ( up until a few years ago 1/4 were from anti-EU parties). Proposals often get rejected or amended:

I worked for a while with PoP-in-a-Box container systems you could drop in anywhere and run.

Why is that obvious?
It probably exists for cultural reasons, but you can also view it as a form of decentralized decision making.

The government is saying to the citizens, if you see a problem so pressing it motivates you to altruism, we'll trust that it was important enough that you don't need to pay taxes on that money.

I like it conceptually since central authorities tend to have lots of blind spots. Like a lot of white collar crime issues, enforcement of what rules there are is lacking.
Perhaps the direct question: how much does it cost?

Living in France, the lie is also obvious for a very sad reason : we aldready don't do anything significant in case of a majority of 'obvious' child abuses (sex related or not, that's not even the point).

I know a fair amount of social worker whom sadly report that in a lot of child education place they know about A LOT of abuse, and a non negligible (and mental burden inducing) part of the work is to do triage, because they know they get (the number are made up) 50 report per week, but they only can 'investigate' about 20, and even if the 20 are really worrying, they can only launch action for 3 to 5, any more would overflow the dedicated services.

And that's not they are lazy, investigating is really complicated (and often not even worth, the main goal is to help the victim, no chasing culprits) and acting worse. You are pretty sure some girl in bad social context is being abused ? with whom do you send her living ? the maybe abusing father ? The probably violent alcoolic uncle or the nice but drug dealing older brother (who maybe is not ready to support her education even with a little financial help) ? That can seems parodic but I've seen real conversations like that.

The idea public services who cannot aldready read all the professionally redacted reports will suddently became omniscient because they can read my discord server private channel is funny.

Hope some representative will jump on the occasion to request more social worker founds to treat the case we aldready know about.
>>Well, the position she holds is not democratically elected, she is a representative of representatives, so we (the EU citizens) have to bear with her (and any other EC leader) for 6 years just because our "governments" chose her.

So would you say that for example....prime minister of UK is not democratically elected? After all, you never vote for them - you vote for the party in parlimentary elections, then the party selects a representative to be the prime minister. How is that different?
It's funny how one thing can be considered foreign in two different places.

No you're wrong. It's literally creativity. Machine learning models literally work because they fill in gaps where the data doesn't exist.

Any content generated by ML is very unlikely to be anything else other then original.

Imagine linear regression. Then pick a random point on that line. How likely is it that that point on that trend line coincides with an actual data point? Very unlikely.

ML is simply a multidimensional version of this. Some 1000 dimensional surface and the result you see is simply a point on that surface. The likelihood of that point on the surface to coincide with an actual data point is astronomically low.

Nobody is being carried away here. What you are seeing is raw creativity by an AI. It is a highly simplified version of human creativity, but the deep fundamentals are identical.

In fact all intelligence is simply a huge thousands or more dimensional surface. A giant curve fitting methodology. The only gap between ML and human intelligence as of now is the amount of neurons, the training algorithm and the actual template for the equation describing the model. But in essence we have the fundamentals down at a high level.

> It feels like it's becoming a simpler language, as in many cases, it takes much less effort to tell the compiler what I want to say.

I do not think this shows that Java is a simpler language, if anything it shows that it has more features (ie. being more complex as a language) that make it easier to match what you want to do.

Java might be simpler (easier) to use, but that doesn't make it simpler as a language itself.

For a more extreme example take C vs C++ - C is certainly simpler as a language than C++ and nobody would ever claim that C++ has any relation to simplicity as a language whatsoever, but a lot of things are much simpler to do in C++ than they are in C because of all the additional features C++ provides.
Human rights organizations and investigative press should and must plan for maximum exposure. Very clever timing and I congratulate whoever planned that.

> just working code that they don’t understand (maybe because all of the people that did understand it are now gone).

Well in that case the real debt is the lack of documentation or clarity in the code. If the code is not written in a way that someone other than the original author can easily understand it, that's a problem. It also indicates gaps in the process of transferring ownership. There should be a team of owners for each piece of code that brings new members up to speed when people leave. Knowledge mustn't leave the company when people leave.
I guess what I really care about is "how much good does my donated dollar do?". Compare a dollar donated to expensive cancer research in the west with a dollar spent on cheap treatments which we already know to work in a developing country. How much of my dollar goes to CEO and staff pay is part of the calculation, but not the only part.

The Effective Altruism movement aims to direct money towards these activities with maximum impact. But to do this they actually need charities to collect data to measure their impact, which I guess may require some degree of professionalism.

Thanks mate. I've heard a couple of times from people learning to code - "JavaScript is fine, it's everything else that makes the process overwhelming". 'Everything else' referring to Git, webpack, etc... My goal is to get people comfortable with Git in an isolated environment, away from coding. Leverage knowledge they already have (a timeline / history of the world) to help understanding.

I think if you try to learn Git + programming language + webpack + ... all at once, your trying to go from crawling to sprinting. Better to learn each of these in isolation so you go from crawling, to walking, to jogging, to sprinting.
Google Fi looks like a mobile plan? I never checked it because cannot order that in the EU.
Because sexual abuse, at all ages, is prevalently a male dominated.. "activity" ( with the drastic underreporting taken into account).
It's so primitive that laws can be proposed without any proper numeric estimate of their possible impact. How many Europeans would be ok with a draconian surveillance mechanism if they knew we would be preventing only a handful of abuses?
Whenever I encounter issues like this:

> This routinely caused the team’s focus to change to whatever was the problem of the week (or to solve for whomever was yelling loudest).

My mind immediately goes to a lack of leadership and strategy. Why do we have pirates going around from team to team yelling, inventing new feature requests?

A lot of what I can read here sounds like someone (goopthink) finally took ownership and seized authority from a leadership team that had rotated out twice and had mostly given up.

> we had cycled through two previous heads of product and one head of engineering

> In fact, I volunteered for the role because no one wanted to take on a project

> The problem is that you need a conflict resolution and effort coordination mechanism

> Figuring out the impact and likelihood was something that a product management org would normally devote the bulk of its time towards. Not having that information was one of the failures of process we were dealing with

> adjusting the stack rank continued to be a deeply political process even after it was created

> “you’re a team of 40 people… surely you can do more than one thing at a time?”

> There was no way to scale those conversations. These 1:1s also allowed us to get ahead of influential senior managers who could have been saboteurs if they didn’t buy in.

This whole thing screams that there is no acting leadership in the sense of building a team focused on one goal. Allowing many managers to go around and create new business lines, not holding them accountable to drive outcomes but rather just be busy with some new idea. The issue your engineers have is identical to the one going on outside of engineering: no unified mission, nobody willing to say "no" to "some new idea that could totally make us some money and we should just try it and see".

It is as if the executive allowed a rabble of random managers to do whatever they wanted like gladiators in a combat arena. It's like CV driven development: "hey let's use kafka and http2 for our internal CRUD app" but instead it is like "hey let's start a new division of the business that has an entirely different workflow but exists in the same industry vertical".

The leadership team is absent from every point of this story and things could only improve when they got out of the way or were engineered out with pre-messaging in 1:1s.

Good that OP could improve all of this (which in itself is a huge accomplishment, something like 60% of change management efforts fail) but honestly until that L-team is rotated out entirely the problem isn"t solved, those pirates will go back on their habits that created a dysfunctional org full of "yeah but I have a cool idea" leaders. These leaders tend to want all of the decisions and none of the details, making everyone live in their mess. OP dove head-first into the details and this is why they could fix things.
Surely being opposed to authoritarian single-party rule isn't enough to be considered untrustworthy.
> if you give 100 bucks to a charity you get utility worth more than that 100 bucks

I find that a very odd statement to make. It is a statement that actually denies that people can act charitably at all. It comes across to me as a statement routed in a complete lack of empathy.

I'm not disagreeing with your overall point that actually less reliance on philanthropy and more tax funding of welfare and initiatives would be a benefit, just that I strongly disagree with how you get there, that all charity must be a utilitarian endeavour.

No, it is not the same at all because nobody has any idea what party/what person/what ideology the next EC leader will have.

There is no citizen vote to form a parliament which then will vote for the EC leader. At all. Not even near. It has nothing to do with a representative parliament, really.

We do not know who, why, from where the next EC leader will be. At all.

At least when you vote for a party (in UK, Spain, whatever), you have some idea what person they will vote for Prime Minister.

Nothing of the sort in the EC.
I have absolutely no way to substantiate this, but I feel like if you needed to be able to say that you technically had a few billion in reserves as cheaply as possible but didn't actually think you'd ever need to liquidate it, buying the riskiest debt you could might be a great way to do that.

This isn't true. It's been explained numerous times on HN how mistaken this view is.

Language models do not work like this. They can copy content but usually that's for something like the GPL language text.

Generally they work on a character by character basis predicting what is the most likely character to appear next.

This very rarely results in copying text, and almost never rare text.

I stopped using YouTube a while back when it decided that because I like programming, video games, and martial arts I would also enjoy misogynistic pricks like Jordan Peterson and Ben Shapiro.
