This submission, confuses the terms "site-admin" and "subreddit moderator" and for an account that is over 5 years old, that's sorta surprising.

The assertion that "A reddit admin is abusing their privileges for their personal beliefs" is baseless.

/u/tempMonero123 is not shadow-banned. All their recent comments, except for the ones they themselves deleted, are live.

Random works for me. Perhaps it's the platform being used. I use Firefox on a Linux desktop. Maybe it's just that Random shows us our deepest desires, I wound up at /r/CPM

This account has made only two comments in /r/bayarea, which they acknowledge to have deleted themselves. There is no sign whatsoever that they have ever submitted anything else to that subreddit at all, even on 3rd party archives.

So from what I can tell, either this person is using a platform with bad error detection in a place with a suboptimal network so their comments & posts are never making it to Reddit at all... or all this is just made up.

I said nothing about purity, I said organic evolution, which this is an example of. If the actual speakers want to develop a pidgin, fine, I just think it should be a decision made by people and not models.

I consider myself a decent ML expert, but the field is so vast that I think I could be tripped up in an interview rather easily. Plus I tend to get a bit rusty with the basics that I never use for anything.
Yeah. A lot of flamewars have happened: "regulation bad!" vs "no, regulation good!".

But in reality, good regulation is good, and bad regulation is bad.

It sounds silly written out because it's a tautology, but if more people internalized it we could have much more productive conversations. Instead of going back and forth on whether regulation is good or bad, we should try to figure out which regulations are good and which are bad, and then try to get rid of the bad ones and pass more of the good ones.

Back when I was leaving school and looking for a job, I came across Epic and MUMPS.

From what I read, MUMPS is actually very performant. Although other companies use it, Epic is the giant. Epic was considered a decent company to work at - good reviews, good work/life balance. The downside is mastering technologies that no one else would value. Or so everyone thought. The reality was that if you become well versed in MUMPS and the Epic stack, a lot of hospitals would pay good amounts of money to you - a lot more than what Epic paid.[1] The only catch was that Epic had a 1 year non-compete clause.

At the time I considered them, they were starting to develop stuff with Visual C++ and .NET, so there was a chance you'd learn more transferable skills.

Fun story: The first time I encountered them at a career fair, I knew nothing about them. I was a grad student. At the booth, they asked me my SAT and GRE scores and were crazy impressed, and immediately booked me for their "entrance exam". At the time (perhaps even now), all candidates had to do a written exam - they'd arrange for the university to conduct it. The exam was mostly assessing logical skills, etc. No advanced material.

I didn't know anything about Epic at the time, and was extremely turned off by anyone being so easily impressed by things like SAT scores. I didn't bother to go through with it. I was studying an advanced degree, and wanted to work for a place that was not so superficial.

Fast forward a semester later when I really needed a job. I researched Epic and it actually didn't feel so bad. I felt I would easily ace their logic exam. So I applied to them. This time, though, they made me do an online behavioral screen first. The type where they ask questions like "Are you more of a X or Y?" where you feel you're neither X nor Y. Apparently I flunked that test and they didn't invite me to take the logic test. Bummer.

I spent a few weeks one January staying with friends who live there, many years ago. Winter is definitely the best time to visit Venice. It's an unforgettable atmosphere walking around at night, with a bit of mist above the canals and hardly anyone around. There is still a decently-sized resident population, mostly not noticed by the tourists, and even in summer you don't have to go far from the most popular areas to find areas, bars and restaurants that are mostly missed by the cruise ship hordes.

I do worry that selling tickets basically legitimises the cruise ship hordes (and their behaviour, which isn't always very sociable) while perhaps discouraging casual independent travelers.
I used to worry about being "successful" until I had an epiphany triggered by my father's death. Do you want to know what success is? Visualise the day of your funeral. Who is there? Are they sad, devastated, in tears? Are they looking at their watch or relieved you're finally gone? What does it say on your headstone? "Here lies roody15. Beloved father, husband, son. Forever in our hearts" Or will it say, "Here lies roody15. He was a good employee". Will anyone from your work be talking about your 60-hour weeks and the weekends you put in when the business really needed it? Or will your kids be talking through tears about how they'll miss you reading them bedtime stories?

For me, I define personal success by the impact I have on other people's lives and the imprint I leave on their hearts. Everything else is filler. Undeniably useful - but filler.
If you read OP’s post carefully, you might notice that they are not being dismissive of working for money, but it seems to me your response to the post treats it as though it is (a strawman).

To me, the OP’s post is an inquiry into “why” we do what we do. It is a useful inquiry that may be followed up with personal introspection, which might lead to a better understanding of ourselves if done with integrity.

For example - we work to earn money. Why do we earn money? So we can live comfortably (your answer might vary). Why do we want to live comfortably? And so on…

The line of reasoning you seem to have chosen ends at “to earn money” and then pivots to philosophers being affluent while seemingly (to me) proceeding to dismiss all the learnings procured by affluent people as though that makes them inherently different to the learnings procured by others (a conclusion that seems to have no solid basis).

Yes, the fact that literally all health care goes through insurance is a big part of the problem. As my dad says, if you had to get all car maintenance done through your car insurance, changing your oil would cost $5,000.

> The Air Force had complete control over the domain of space, splitting space out didn't answer any real organizational problems.

Organizations have costrained focus and priority, like you and I do. I have all sorts of responsibilities, but certain ones are my top priorities and others I get to when I can. Lower priorities also can distract organizations. From what I understand space was not a priority of the US Air Force, which has long had a reputation for prioritizing fighters over everything else. It's perhaps analogous to the priority of Bing at Microsoft compared to search (or ads!) at Google.

I'm not saying the Space Force organizational design is good or bad, but that there are reasons to spin off functions from large organizations.
I sympathize with both positions — however, spend any time working somewhere like a bank, or hardware/electronics company founded before 1980, and you’ll develop a distinct distaste for monoliths.

I’ve seen monoliths create teams of career software bureaucrats who exist to choke out companies to their last breath. Companies will go underserved for decades while underfunded projects fail to replace a monolith one after another. All crossroads lead to the monolith that was written in some language that died 30 years ago, performs like it did 30 years ago and is maintained by people hired 30 years ago — creating imminent crises with their looming retirements.

I think a lot of people here read this article as writing monoliths vs microservices — not so. There are many very old, inherited monoliths that are actively creating maintenance crises at many businesses. These need to be modernized in chunks, because full rewrites take years to fail (and often do, eg. the mythical data warehouse). Microservices offer some incremental path out of the quagmire.
If your goal is to make inclusive translation more widely available why license the models under a non-commercial license? This basically makes it impossible to use legally (or at least without a lot of legal risk) for essentially anyone due to the vague definition of what's commercial. Is Facebook hurting for money and looking to commercially license this model on request?
It's certainly not the case with Amsterdam's canals. The water used to be flushed regularly, and dredging boats can frequently be seen pulling out bikes and other garbage. There's absolutely no foul odor coming from the water. It's not sterile, sure, but some areas are even safe to swim in.
> Consider if you removed all the wings on misquotes in a city.

That's not an accurate analogy for biofilms. Even if it was, I noted below that the mechanical action of brushing your teeth annihilates any biofilm (i.e. plaque) that has built up. That being the case, how do you explain the fact that people who brush their teeth are not suffering from infection from advantageous disease?

If you wipe out your gut flora, there are health serious implications. All evidence seems to point to the opposite case in your mouth.

> The difficulty of fixing and improving these systems is frankly overrated. It has more to do with penny pinching and profiteering that they haven't modernized.

Eh, I'd rather listen to duffpkg, with his extensive, real world experience in health tech, than a random comment.

FWIW, a former coworker of mine spent a few years at a health technology company (also worked with MUMPS), and legal compliance was the number one hurdle to modernizing. It was expensive, and created a huge drag.
I'm not an engineer, but I've been following the various rock storage projects, like this one

https://www.stiesdal.com/storage/

for some time, and water tanks are simpler.

When you set up a water tank, you just pump water into it to get the storage medium, and when you need to extract heat, you can pump out actual storage medium and do the heat exchange directly. With a rock storage, you either need pipes in them or move air through the rocks, which requires a much beefier overall system since it's harder to extract the heat. Does that make sense?

Rusting tanks sounds like a problem with either badly engineered mismatched piping, or badly engineered tanks. Ideally, you'd have a well-engineered tank as a closed system with a heat exchange unit next to it.

By the way, I live in a town with a wide district heating system, and there's no storage at all in the individual houses here, only a small heat exchange unit. They are building a 200.000 cubic meter water storage system in the other end, though. I don't know about this particular project, but there are other projects where the water storage is large enough and insulated well enough that they actually do store cheap solar heat from the summer through the winter - and it's cheaper than using gas, even before the current price spikes.

>Translating Wikipedia for everyone

Hmmm.

While there is very definitely utility in doing things like this, I do kinda fear "poisoning the well"-like effects of feeding (even partially-) AI-generated-data into extremely common AI-data-sources.

There's some info on it in a blog post[1] and the MediaWiki "Content translation" page[2], but does anyone know of any studies on the quality of the translations produced? I can absolutely see it being a huge time-saver for people who are essentially fluent in both (there's a lot of semi-mechanical drudgery in translating stuff like this that could be mostly eliminated)... but people are pretty darn good at choosing the easy option of trusting whatever they're given rather than being as careful as they should be. It kinda feels like it runs the risk of passively encouraging people to trust the machine's choice over their own, as long as it isn't obviously nonsense, and the cumulative effect could be rather large after a while.

> And for Christ's sake, stop training doctors to ask "what are your symptoms" (when they are already reasonably aware of what the type of issue is), and use more yes/no questioning about specific symptoms. If doctors can't be trained fast enough to be able to do even that, I'd think about fixing that, too.

I think you really don't understand enough about why these things get asked. Yes Gp work often seems like glorified flowcharts at first glance (especially if you only look at some of their study material), but once you dig into it (I helped my partner study for an exams and get to hear her stories every day), you realise the huge amount of background information that can flow into a diagnosis. Asking the patient about their symptoms is an important part of gathering the history and can not be done just with yes or no questions.
Have you gone to a matchmaker?

While 120 dates sounds like a lot, over 2 years that’s only an average of 5 dates per month. I think it’s a numbers game and you should be meeting like 5 people per week like it’s your second job (this means quick drink after work, and pay for yourself unless you want to see him again). I’m in NYC and this is what I did until I met my now husband; full disclosure I was 33 when we met though so I get that dating is very different at 41.

Regardless, since you desire biological children, you really need to adjust your expectations. You’re not in your 20s and your pool of options is getting smaller— it’s just reality. You listed reasons why you didn’t want a second date with some of these men but I just can’t imagine that Not one of them wasn’t just a nice normal average guy. You are the common denominator.

maybe consider that you’re expecting more than what you can buy in the dating market. You you have to pick from the options you have. It also sounds like you probably need a new accountability buddy; or maybe your perception is skewed and you’re portrayal of these dates is inaccurate. Ultimately, you are at the point that you need to settle for a nice average guy who also wants a family and would also be settling for you.

Lastly, check out this interview with Logan Ury (see link). She's a Google behavioral scientist turned dating coach and director of relationship science at the dating app Hinge. She mentions research shows that only 11% of people feel love at first sight or felt love at first sight with their partner (ie: “spark”). She gives solid advice backed by data.

I'm sorry you had a bad experience.

If you think the compiler is working against you, I can see the frustration; you think you know better.

But I don't work against the compiler, I see the compiler as working for me... which is much less frustrating.

Personally I'm quite a fan of Rust, because it tells me specifically what's not possible.
> This paragraph perfectly encapsulates everything wrong with the way promoters sell Ethereum... That information comes from "oracles", or what the article calls "validators".

Validators and Oracles are two different things entirely. That factual error aside, this is like saying that the US Federal Reserve is a weak system because Lehman Brothers and the MBS market failed.

Regardless, The Oracle Problem is already incredibly obvious and well-documented[0][1][2][3].

Adam, Noah and Moses were only attested and believed to exist by groups living in the Kingdom of Judah.

For Moses, people have looked a lot for any kind of evidence that there was some significant Jewish presence in Egypt, or Egyptian migration to the area of Israel, and nothing of the kind has been found, either in Egyptian documents or in archaeological evidence - which is actually evidence of absence when expecting a significant population to have migrated that way. Further accounts from the books of Exodus and Deuteronomy, such as the battle of Jericho, have also been somewhat conclusively debunked (the city of Jericho hadn't existed, at least not worth walls, for a few hundred years before the time of the conquest is supposed to have taken place).

Similarly, we have looked long and hard for evidence of a massive flood that could have lent some credence to the story of Noah, and nothing of any significant magnitude was found for that time - and here, we know for sure that a flood would have left significant geological evidence, so we know the flood can't have existed.

Adam has so little information associated with him that it's hard to even define what it would have meant for him to exist. We do know for sure, based on DNA evidence, that there is no single father + mother pair from which all humans living today have sprung, definitely not anyone living anywhere near close to the Jewish account of Adam.

In contrast, the idea of a founder of the Christian sect, one who was killed under Pontius Pilate around the year 33, has no major evidence against it, and is a somewhat plausible account of how the Christian sect could have come to be. There are no sources asserting a different origin, and there are no sources that contradict the possibility that Pontius Pilate and the Jewish authorities would have punished someone behaving like Jesus did. So, the neutral position is to say that he may or may not have existed, we don't know.

If you further believe the biblical or non-biblical sources attesting to his existence, even if you think they are weak, you can even say that it's more likely that he existed than that he didn't.
