> We’re talking about a vaccine.

We're talking about interfacing with an incredibly
varied and complicated system in the human body. Just because we have implementations that have worked spledidly in the past, doesnt mean that every new instance of the class "vaccine" should immediately get to ride on the coattails of the others.

Maybe these vaccines are a miracle as a lot of people believe. But this mindset of "it carries the same name as these other products, so it must be fine" is an incredibly vulnerable one to have for future drug products.
I didn't say there should be "absolute free speech".

You're still just off arguing against some strawman of your own making.
In our federalist system, outside the power granted to the federal government by the constitution, the State governments hold the most power

So a local government would have to be granted regulatory authority over solar by the State government, which could also remove that authority.

State governmental power are dictated by the State Constitutions, those things that people have largely forgotten about has a federal government as swallowed more and more power and authority. Each State has it own binding constitution granting it authority and powers over the people of that State.

Pharos: The Observability Platform at Workday
> Google is not the problem. Perhaps some changes to their policies is warranted, but a total turnaround? Why?

But it is the problem. Google legally collects the data, but that means the information is only one law away from becoming accessible and directly used against individuals.

There are many checks in place—practical, legal, and cultural—to keep law enforcement from collecting such data.

FAANG’s surveillance tech has created a backdoor to circumvent all but the legal checks.

That’s an awful place to be in, especially in the world of parallel construction.

That would only be true if the access granted to machines that were in the previously trusted network was now completely eliminated (probably breaking all sorts of critical systems).

Instead, the proponents of zero trust have redefined "untrusted network endpoints" to mean "trusted network endpoints".
I’m a Firefox user but I’m not sure that I can agree that it’s lighter than Google Chrome. I think Chrome is generally faster at everything.

Chrome is also more stable. For some reason my Firefox randomly freezes once or twice a month and gets stuck in a crashing loop where only a reboot will fix it.

But on principle I use Firefox whenever possible. I appreciate the effort that went into it. Still have to use Chrome daily for one or two business web apps that block FF.
Ruby, like Lisp, really really heavily prefers and benefits from REPL-driven exploration and development.

You don’t necessarily have to figure out how to call the calling function, but you will want to use the REPL to evaluate the above code in an instance’s binding with instance_eval or the like, or use Class.method(:blah) to get the method object, or etc. Or if this is Rails, stick a binding.pry in the controller and get a REPL at the point while you’re interacting with the app in a browser, etc.

The ability to get a full REPL anywhere and explore and manipulate the program interactively is one thing I deeply miss when working in less dynamic languages.
Parent poster clearly means ADC. The rest of the post is absolutely true.

> No, the software signal chain is not simple.

While the software itself might be complex, the grandparent is right: digital audio data coming out of the ADC doesn’t get transformed in the way you suggested above. There’s no secret compression, transcoding or resampling going on without the knowledge of engineers, as it would add noise and interfere with production techniques. Even things like dithering have to be added separately.

This site seems new enough and empty enough to be an interesting experiment: how do sites like this grow? Its not valuable unless you get a large amount of content on there, bit contributors will only attend if there are lots of people already on the site.

I didn't feel it was judgemental or condescending at all. Can you quote exactly what about it felt that way to you?

As for the generational differences, I agree to some extent. But we can't stop thinking about it at that point... Just because older generations complain about newer generations, doesn't mean we stop thinking about non generational factors.

These technologies have taken over the world in the last few decades. Our brains have been the same for at least 100,000 years. We need to be more vigilant about the negative effects of disruptive and exponentially growing technologies.

It's good to wield the positive side of technology (translation, security, facts, communication). But that's not the problem. The problem is companies who are creating algorithms that can easily overpower our human brain. Their incentives are not aligned with the mental health and well-being of society.
If b is declared to be infix by default, then it will be an application of function b to arguments a and c though. So you need to know the symbol table anyway it seems.
And to cut a little more audiophile fuzziness out, I’d say I’d associate warmer with high cut and boosted upper mids. Which sounds like it would alleviate fatigue to some degree, perhaps be perceived as louder at a given spl.

Tangentially, I built a little transmission line speaker, see Woden Designs Baby Labs pdf, I built the redeye, IIRC, the one that used the cheapest driver. The little 3 inch driver really rolls off above 10k, I’m missing a whole octave of the highest frequencies, and I’ve spent some time around planers and table saws and electric guitars, don’t have the best ears, but side by side with other speakers you notice. But anyway, the point is you notice, but it really doesn’t sound bad to lose a little high end. Something is missing, but it’s not ugly to listen to in the way some other speaker defects are.
Likelihood: given a probabilistic model and its parameters, what is the probability of observing some data under that model?

For example, given a coin with some probability f of getting heads and thus 1-f of getting tails (model parameter), a set of coin flips (data), and the assumption that each coin flip is independent of all others (model), the probability of seeing an arbitrary sequence with H total heads and T total tails after H+T flips is

p(H,T|f) = f^H(1-f)^T [0]

Note that this likelihood is normalized (i.e. sums up to 1) with respect to all possible sequences of flips of length H+T, e.g. for length 2, there are 4 possible sequences of coin flips:

p(hh|f) + p(ht|f) + p(th|f) + p(tt|f) = f^2 + 2f(1-f) + (1-f)^2 = 1

(Also note that the likelihood is only a probability for discrete data; it’s a probability density for continuous data, since the underlying terms would no longer be probabilities but rather densities. In that case, replace the previous sum with an integral ranging over the entire domain of your continuous data.)

Partition function (usually called a "marginal likelihood"): what if we instead normalize the likelihood with respect to the model parameters? Then it would no longer be a probability distribution with respect to the data, but rather a probability distribution with respect to the parameters. The marginal likelihood is just this normalizing constant. In the previous example,

p(f|H,T) = p(H,T|f)/<constant that would normalize p(H,T|f) to integrate to 1 over all possible values of f>

You can optionally weight this likelihood by a prior p(f), in which case the numerator would be p(H,T|f)p(f), with the partition function updated accordingly.

>Also the above reveal there is more elaborate structure in bayes than just the idea of 'updating your prior with new information', which is simply a platitude among STEM folk

I could not agree more. The core philosophical tenet of Bayesian inference is that this re-normalization of the likelihood returns something probabilistically meaningful. The debate over the validity of priors pales in comparison to the debate over whether the likelihood ought to be treated as proportional to a probability distribution over the model parameters.

[0] Note that this is distinct from the probability of seeing any sequence with H heads and T tails. That would require normalizing with respect to the number of total sequences with H heads and T tails (H+T choose H), yielding the binomial distribution.

I worked on a team once where a couple of co-workers were doing this and more in what is possibly the worst Python codebase I’ve had the misfortune of seeing.

Highlights included:

* DIY “json” logging function that did some obscene string concat work every time it was called and abused global vars; it also didn’t output valid JSON. Suggestions to just use a normal logging library were aggressively disregarded.

* dozens of functions, all of which indirectly mutated this extremely nested dictionary of data. They all had slightly different names, and none of them took this dictionary as a parameter, they just abused global vars. All of them would do these insane checks to ensure that the specific keys they were looking for existed

* none of it was in git properly; the 2 data engineers writing it passed the code back and forth using a google drive.

* instead of importing functions from the Python files they wrote, they’d invoke the functions by shelling out, calling Python <other file.py>, string interpolating the values and then waiting for completion by *waiting for a file of a specific name to be written into the file system.

Oh yeah and when they decided they wanted parallelism, instead of doing the sane thing and using something like joblib or multiprocessing to make stuff easy, they’d just shell out and invoke more Python processes via xargs…
People, instead of visiting a psychiatrist, come up with various explanations and explanations that have nothing to do with psychiatry. And everyone pretends to be an expert on all issues that are far from psychiatry, from the methods of psychiatry, from pills and drugs and methods of treatment. But everyone tells with great certainty that "you are procrastinating, it is caused by X."

I have been procrastinating for over 10 years.
And then it turned out - that this is a common depression.

Which ruined a lot of life.
After starting treatment with a psychiatrist and taking pills, my working capacity increased significantly. There was a lot of strength and motivation.

My advice to those who feel problems with concentration, with the power to force themselves to do something, and so on. Just see a professional doctor. Come to the reception. Describe your situation. And according to the results, you will be prescribed pills that will help you, after a short period of time, significantly return what you have lost due to illness.
This is a very western perspective on the role of the individual. Not to say that it is wrong or others are better or anything, but there are other ways to interpret the interrelatedness of actions by individuals within a collective, that maybe don’t result in a feeling of “being controlled by others” in healthy circumstances (of course, there are cases of toxic environments, workplaces, communities, etc., and this isn’t meant to minimize any of that).

One way to perceive the impact of community desires and needs on the individual is “control” but alternate framings include support, belonging, mutual aid, etc. — again not saying any is “better”, but I do think the singular conceptualization of the individual as being solely responsible for his/her own decisions and ultimately outcomes might cause a lot of the friction as reality doesn’t quite support that notion.

Dan pink’s “autonomy, mastery, purpose” trifecta is enlightening here, as it illustrates how “autonomy” doesn’t mean “free from control” but is ultimately about the respect an individual feels, regarding their decisions, from others.

Just some food for thought.

No so young anymore, but I listen to SoundCloud at least 50 hours per week (after heavily curating who I follow and writing my own SoundCloud frontend to make the site usable, fwiw).
In fact most artists I follow do not publish anywhere else, except maybe Bandcamp (whose usability is even worse).

ps: to any SoundCloud pm listening, I would have gladly paid for a purely linear timeline of my follows that remembers its position across devices, but no I had to build it myself.

> I don't organize my life around the unlikely event that I might one day be falsely accused of murder.

Do you routinely provide or receive a procedure that's considered by fundamentalist Christian politicians to be tantamount to murdering infants? If so, you should probably consider the possibility that one of those politicians will come for you and claim you've committed murder. They have the power to do so, and now the law is finally on their side. It's no longer an unlikely prospect.
> Comparing google to big tobacco is very flawed

That actually a completely fair observation, this should only be targeted at the part of their business that does data collection. Google could do very well without their large scale tracking.

Tracking and data collection must bring in a significant amount though. It's a rather large liability and attack vector for lawmakers and critics. If it was just a few percent of overall profit, it would sense to just dump that business unit.

Generally the whole targeted ad business is a little weird. If it works so well as we led to believe, then way aren't there fewer ads. It seems reasonable to assume that a highly targeted ad would be more successful, but also more expensive to buy. You'd need few of them of reach your target customers and I as a consumer should see fewer ads. That's a little besides the point though.
> I think I'll stress that I don't consider online and messaging communications to be private and they will be monitored.

What a wonderfull dystopia we are building here together. And then we wonder why the average people don’t care about privacy. Perhaps because they were conditioned from a young age to expect none?

> The probability of observing the data you observed

Yes, in discrete cases. In continuous cases, you have to work with a probability density. I think this is one of the hurdles people encounter when they're first exposed to Bayesian stats. The probabilities, technically speaking, are zero.

The important insight in Bayesian work is that it's often not the probabilities themselves that matter but the ratios thereof, since from those alone you can compute posteriors.
I started working on Haven[1] (FOSS, self-hosted alternative to FB) because of privacy concerns with centralized social media, but the more I explored the space, the more I felt it was important for the mental-health and societal stability purposes. The article references Jonathan Haidt[2], who has been a vocal participant in this space, but even Barack Obama sees it as an issue--it was the focus of his Keynote at Stanford in April[3]. If we could just get away from the engagement-optimized business model I think (hope?) we would already be in a much better space as a people.

I'd say even the Roman Empire itself did a pretty good job with Diocletian and his reforms, it gave them at least another 100 years (most of the 4th century CE).

Chrome is possibly faster for 10 tabs or less. When you go upwards of 100 like I do... It's not even in the competition. Its UI becomes terrible and its unresponsive. FF keeps chugging along without missing a beat.
It’s mystifying why any browser would choose not to have that feature. It’s basic ergonomics of tabbing UIs.
I've been using firefox for the last 2-3 years, and I've had it 'crash' 2 times, both on youtube, but that might be because of all the privacy related addons I have. Ublock origin reports more than 2k blocked scripts on youtube.

Chrome also would crash occasionally and force me to reload tabs. I don't think chrome is significantly faster in practice.
the thing is we've had societies, at large scale (beyond dunbar number nonsense), post discovery of agriculture, where those freedoms I listed were much greater than today. current conditions aren't inevitable or the only realistic option. these usually involved cooperative society (a focus on collective, without severely limiting these freedoms in the name of so-called necessary bureaucracy and hierarchy), I'm not talking about a libertarian utopia.

So, now they trust a widely accessed proxy, a TLS certificate authority, a TPM chip (they aren't really TPM's right? The spec mandates trivial physical exploits...), the database, and whatever network protocols tie all this stuff together.

That's many more machines than a system that relies on old fashioned SSH client certs. Client certs don't really scale, but I guess Google has to give up some security, given their size.

I don't understand why a small business would reproduce all that complexity though, especially since it requires outsourcing a bunch of critical components to untrustworthy third parties.
