Is there such a thing as an apolitical post?

I don't think the expression of a political perception is a thing that is problematic. What is problematic is when it becomes polemic. Anybody who knows the region an has been in Greece, Turkey, Bulgaria, Macedonia knows that there is a lot of conflict potential in that region which hardcore nationalists on all sides of geographic and language borders. All while they share a lot of common culture in terms of food, music (although every side claims they have been the ones inventing it).

My own perception as someone who has been in the region is that Turkish nationalism is indeed stronger and more visible than e.g. Greek or Bulgarian nationalism, but maybe I just have not been to the right regions in my 20+ trips to Greece.

For that matter I like Turkey as well. They have incredible subcultures, Istanbul is a great city, or the beautiful lake Adana with it's kind people.

I myself come from a region with strong tendecies of border disputes (Austrian-Slowenian-Italian border) and I am truly aware of how impossible and stupid it can be to draw a political border into an area where you have two or more minorities on each sides, because in daily lives and in lived culture those people are closer to each other than to the "great" nations that have an interest in marking these borders boldly.

Saying nothing in face of conflict can be just as political as saying something.
Convolutional kernels are matrix-multiplied over and over again in a sliding window across the feature map. The fully connected layer is matrix-multiplied exactly once. So the number of times each element of the weight matrix is used depends on the size of the layer for FC, but depends on the size of the feature map for Conv layers. Usually the feature map is much larger than the kernel, for the majority of layers, so the kernel weights are re-used a lot.

The other possible interpretation is that typically an FC is only applied on a reduced dimensional embedding, after reducing the input data dimensionality iteratively by several convolutional layers. So there is overall more computation done by Conv layers, to get that final embedding, which his then fed to one or two FC layers for taking global context into account -- so usually you'll find more Conv layers than FC layers in a given ANN architecture, thus they make up a larger percentage of the overall computation.
> if you read the reports carefully, as we did, you discover that many of the replication studies differed in truly astounding ways—ways that make it hard to understand how they could even be called replications.”

> As an example, Gilbert described an original study that involved showing White students at Stanford University a video of four other Stanford students discussing admissions policies at their university. Three of the discussants were White and one was Black. During the discussion, one of the White students made offensive comments about affirmative action, and the researchers found that the observers looked significantly longer at the Black student when they believed he could hear the others’ comments than when he could not.

> So how did they do the replication? With students at the University of Amsterdam!” Gilbert said. “They had Dutch students watch a video of Stanford students, speaking in English, about affirmative action policies at a university more than 5000 miles away.”
In other words, unlike the participants in the original study, participants in the replication study watched students at a foreign university speaking in a foreign language about an issue of no relevance to them!

I’ve long said it’s much more useful to think of the replication crisis as a generalization crisis, and this is a good case in point. The replication (and failure to replicate in Amsterdam) doesn’t tell us the original study was wrong, but tells us that something in the context was actually part of the subject all along. In this case US/Dutch differences in current social hot topics, or in historical slavery, or maybe it only replicates for students who you believe you might run into in class. In any case, per usual, the solution is more science and more thoughtful study, not throwing in the towel and declaring the sciences conquered by “the replication crisis.”
I use Claws when I need to quickly check an email update or do a simple search, because it's much faster and less memory hungry compared to Thunderbird. In fact, the inability to read HTML emails is pretty much the only thing keeping me from using it as my main mail reader. (I didn't know about this plugin, clunky or otherwise, could you mention that it's called? Also, in what way is it clunky - is it unstable/unreliable, or is it just slow to load or something?)
Thanks a ton! I'll try running this.
There's nothing apologist about the comment you're replying to. The parent is not defending the behaviour; they are explaining which scenarios are affected, and what the appropriate mitigations are. Nobody here is denying that it's a serious issue.
Do you mean text font/colour or the content itself?
The issue at hand is both relevant to the articles meaning and content but it is also identical to the mentioned geographic location. In ancient Greece people refusing to talk about politics where called idiots, meaning a person not partaking in public affairs.

You think figuring out when to invalidate is the harder part of cache invalidation; in that sense Polaris is not checking the “when” logic but rather repeating it. And you are right. This is not the problem we solved in the post. I should have applied a narrower definition to cache invalidation, and I apologize for the confusions.

On the other hand, I don’t think figuring out “when” to invalidate is what makes cache invalidation hard. I shared the same view as Marc https://twitter.com/marcjbrooker/status/1534944340266864640?....

There is a trade off between coordination (in some cases with unbounded write amplification https://twitter.com/uvdn7/status/1534979480363667457?s=21&t=...) and relaxed consistency. I assumed this is a trade off that people just have to make based on their workload (hence you saw me saying in other comments about TTL; it’s about tradeoffs, when the cost of coordination/invalidate surpasses the benefit — higher hit rate, etc.)
It's the $44B he's worried about. That's how much he owes Twitter's shareholders unless he can find some way of either declaring the contract entirely void, or at least triggering one of the clauses that would allow him to get away only paying the $1B.

Both options are very unlikely, but this will drag on.

There is a vast amount of legitimate use on the Bitcoin blockchain. Even companies that have a clear incentive to find criminal use of Bitcoin can only find anywhere between 1 and 4% possibly criminial transaction use. That is considerably lower than estimates for the USD or EUR.

About €200 for a Motorola: https://www.motorola.com/us/smartphones-moto-g-family#

I bought it for its insane battery life. 3-4 days at full use. I got so pissed off with my expensive Samsung running out of juice in the afternoon. All it took was a little use of Google Maps to get me where I was going and periodic reading on the Kindle. Regular, everyday use and I'd hit low battery issues by 3pm.

The Mototrola isn't as attractive and it's bigger than I'd like. But the battery is near indestructible.

I chose function over form. It depends on what you want from a phone. Is it a trendy accessory, or a screwdriver for getting the job doing? You won't find both in one device.

To rephrase what has already been pointed out in other comments: this post focuses on 1) drawbacks of cryptocurrencies as solvable problems that could disappear thanks to X and Y, instead of what 2) essential benefits they supposedly (could) offer.

1) is much easier to address (at least in vague and aspirational terms) but rather uninteresting in the absence of clear examples of 2).

Less than $200USD.

I tend to favor Motorola devices that are a couple of generations old (G7 Plus currently). They're cheap and popular and tend to be well supported by alternative, privacy respecting ROMs. I always install a microSD for expanded, portable long term storage.

The performance of a cheap phone improves if you strip out all of the privacy invading antics running in the background. Another often overlooked advantage of cheap phones --- it's practical to keep a backup device. I keep two so if one gets broken or needs repair, I can easily switch to the backup.

I don't know many people with a $1000USD iPhone lying around just in case.

First, this is [2016].

Second, as ethanbond has commented, a key question in replication is how strictly one should interpret study designs and how much agreement one would expect.

I do believe though that there is a true replication crisis, not just because the situational context is different (i.e. generalization) but also because a lot of the original studies were unintentionally or intentionally wrong, had way too little power, i.e. noisy measurements, small N and publication bias.

Recent advances in the field of replicability include specification curve analyses, for example, and those have been able to show more conclusive evidence of non-replicability because the published results were unbelievably special (i.e. one out of a tiny fraction of significant results).
I think OP just found a really well done C file.

That’s making a whole bunch of assumptions about professional web devs, including the people who maintain Tailwind and similar libraries.

There are a lot of replies to this comparing Dot Collector to TV shows. Can we not judge these things on their own (de)merits with more nuance than just saying it reminds us of some popular media? This happens in a lot of tech discussions - usually using 1984 - to argue that a surface-level resemblance means something is bad. I agree that I don't want to work in a place like this but if this is an acceptable line of reasoning then it extrapolates to good-boy-points used for children being dystopian. Using stories whose morals we agree with as a gotcha enables the use of stories whose morals aren't agreeable or sensible - perhaps democracy reminds me of the senate from the Star Wars prequels so we should revert to feudalism?

There are famous examples of these kind of rating systems being negative in the real world in our very own sector. We don't need to use fiction.
> […] induced demand[0] mentioned; is there any truth in that?

RAND Europe 2018 study for the UK Department for Transport, "Induced travel demand: an evidence review":

> The objective of this study was therefore to review the empirical evidence on induced demand, with a view to understanding the size of the effect and where and under what conditions it occurs. In practice, measured induced traffic effects will depend on the time period over which they are measured, the geographical area and whether short-run or long run effects, particularly on land use, are included. While the impact of background growth is not included in this review, empirical studies of induced travel need to control for background traffic growth, as well as traffic changing route (reassigned traffic).

[…]

> The evidence reviewed in this study supports the findings of the SACTRA (1994) report that induced traffic does exist, though its size and significance is likely to vary in different circumstances. It was not possible to obtain any qualitative understanding about the composition of induced traffic in terms of new trips, redistributed trips, transfers between modes and trips associated with new developments. There remain wide variations in the quantitative evidence that make it difficult to draw conclusions about the magnitude of the impact of induced demand from road capacity improvements on the Strategic Road Network. However, we draw some tentative conclusions:

From the Netherlands:

> The increase in traffic volume that arises after opening of new road infrastructure, is often attributed to ‘induced demand’. The objective of this study is to provide empirically derived insights in this phenomenon, in the amount of induced demand and in the benefits that adding road infrastructure has for users. Based on multivariate analyses of detailed data in The Netherlands from 2000-2012, it is concluded that the amount of induced demand in total is relatively low and that the relatively large increase in traffic volume during peak hours on roads that were congested before adding lanes mainly has been caused by shifts in route and departure time. The benefits of the new infrastructure for users have been calculated in terms of savings of travel time and travel time reliability. Implications for cost-benefit analyses of road investments have been reviewed.

Plus, as a general point, .NET has pretty decent performance. It's no C++, but at the same time substantial effort is put into optimisation.

The UK has one of the six accepted world's "hard" currencies. Other countries with a similar GDP to Texas cannot issue a hard currency. International trade will still happen in dollars, although I suppose they could print a bill for internal use.

Russia, which has a similar GDP, didn't have any appreciable external debts denoted in rubles. They were denoted in dollars, pounds sterling or other hard currencies.

I agree that tailwind may not be the most elegant way to style a webpage, and I also prefer classes and regular css or sass, but I don't think you will convince anyone to give up tailwind with such a toxic comment. Perhaps it would just be better if you stopped ruining hn for the rest of us. Additionally, styling and accessibility are not related (unless your layout is terrible, but that is just as doable with css).

No, bitcoin doesn't care what you do with it. It is regulated by the economic majority. If everyone agrees that we want regulations on transactions, it can be added to the protocol; I suggest you create a BIP for it, and see what the response is.

Also; the environment not being worth worrying about is not a political idea that Bitcoin encodes; it simply uses Proof of Work because there is no alternative to it that has the same characteristics.

Bitcoin isn't a deflationary currency. It's emission is deflating to 0, after which it is neither inflationary nor deflationary.

Apolitical means it doesn't enforce you to do things because politics demands it of you; only because the protocol enforces it. Want to change the protocol? Feel free to build an alternative and spend your time convincing people to use it.
