This type of response makes me think you don’t actually understand how important security is during the product development process and to customers. And that GP is on the mark being critical. Someone messed up and humans are humans, everyone gets that. But that doesn't absolve CF of some due explanation to people who are rightfully very concerned. CF got really lucky that a bad actor didn't find this. I don't like high horses either but you could also use a dose of humility.
My uncle took a paper route in the mid-90s, which he completed in a car. He ended up with half of his face paralyzed due to the asymmetric cold wind from having his window down at 4 in the morning.
Sorry you're not the use case for this. I cut/copy/delete/move files hundreds of times per day, across both local and remote disks. And I use editors, IDEs, and git, too. But the files I cut/copy/delete/move have little or nothing to do with software development.

80% or 0.03%? How do you arrive at your estimate? What is your definition of mentally ill?

I concur that it gets treated with respect. Societies have typically codified this respect as "ritual".
Students should really band together and start pressuring their universities to ban professors from participating in these practices.

The department is basically making students pay extra money so that they can save the cost of a TA to manually grade homework. That's not going to stop unless the students call foul and push back.
New issue covers:
- landing page-like paywalls
- dark patterns
- 80% discount that's hard to calculate
- videos on the paywall

It's the modern version of the Problem of Evil.

Are the carriers willing to stop robocalls and spam texts, but not able? The very idea is absurd, as it's their network. As others have pointed out it can't be that hard to identify and interdict abusive behavior on such a massive scale.

Are they able, but not willing? Then they're complicit, and should face wire fraud charges.

Are they both able and willing? Then why don't they?
My setup seems to work well for me.

I have my mobile phone, which I never published. Only my family has it.

I have a VoIP number tied to my mobile phone, and desktop computer. This allows me to take calls with my headset on, not just on my mobile.

All calls from numbers not in my contacts list go to the VoIP voice mail, which gets auto-transcribed. (If it is English, it works well, but any other languages it fails.)

If someone really wants to talk to me, they will leave a name, reason for the call, and the number I can call them back.

I also use Tasker[0] on my Android mobile. The carrier charges a monthly fee to have the feature to identify spammers and auto-reject them.

Type
Incoming
Number
!C:ANY

This rejects all calls that are not in the contacts list.

Yes, we need legible titles.

Submitted title was "IF 2 days vs. 1 day/week increases weight loss in overweight m/f" but I think we can just use a prefix of the article title. I've changed it to that now.

You miss the point of Craigslist. Sure, being online, persistent and searchable makes it superior to newspaper classifieds. But the real killer was that it was free. This meant it was easier to set up the 2 sided market. Folks were posting because there was no reason not to.

This is what progress looks like, for better or worse. Someone takes an existing process/product/service and does it better and or cheaper. This opens up new economic opportunities because it lowers the barriers for entry into the market for sellers.

They replace the incumbents but they don’t have the same revenue as the incumbents because they’re doing it for cheaper.

Craigslist revenue was barely a fraction of what local papers were making.
Phone companies are trying to turn this problem into a revenue generation “opportunity”. Not only do they get paid for the calls that traverse their network, but now they also want you to sign up for their “premium” blocking services, at a monthly cost, to stop them. This screams for not only a crackdown on the bad carriers who initiate the calls, but also on the big telcos who are double-dipping.
There was the infamous demo when they ‘forgot’ to mention a CPU was overclocked. Bit of a red flag for the culture that permits that.

No one "is" interesting because that's not a quality of a person. I may find someone interesting. You may not find that same person interesting. "Interesting" is a perception and value judgment, not a trait.

I haven't experienced problems making friends after college age. If that claim holds true I would attribute it to our personalities and biases hardening in adulthood, making us less open to novelty and less tolerant of people who don't share our opinions and values.
That was the old linear life, wasn't it.
This is rubbish, we've run with guaranteed webhook ordering for years, so the idea that you can't do is laughable.

Timestamps don't solve the issue, and neither do "thin payloads" since the receiver has no idea how long to wait before assuming that the order is certain, and if you have a problem on the sender side it could cause logic errors for all of your clients.

Most of these problems are solved if the receiver doesn't process the webhook immediately, but instead queues it internally. You don't have issues with the queue being stalled due to one bad webhook, because there is no event-specific processing happening on the receiver (other than perhaps ignoring some events). The queue can still be stalled if there is a wider problem, but as soon as the problem is resolved, the system can catch up on those queued webhooks, and synchronization integrity is maintained.

Having said all that, if I were to design a new system I would go with a pull-based system instead. In this system, the client would request a range (start time, max count) of events via an HTTP request, and the response would include the "end time" that can be used in the next query. A "webhook" would contain an empty payload, and would simply indicate that the queue had become non-empty - this could be omitted entirely if realtime updates are not required, instead having the client poll.

The advantages of this approach are that it's easy for consumers to "replay" a set of events if they accidentally lose them, and it's also a lot more efficient, since many events can be sent per request (we gain some of this benefit at the moment by supporting "batch" webhooks containing multiple events, but it requires opt-in from the client.) Additionally, it allows webhooks to be versioned more easily, since you can have versioned endpoints for fetching events, and it also allows you to have an arbitrary number of consumers of the same set of events with no additional complexity.
Sometimes the investigation itself is interesting? I read an article once where the author was trying to figure out what plant was the source of street snacks he saw sold everywhere in his city. He couldn't get a definite answer from anyone, including from scientists he sent samples to. It was a really interesting article.
> SWE’s straight out of school made 90-100k in the late 90’s.

They absolutely did not with just a BS. Perhaps a few companies paid that high, but 100K would be an easy outlier.

To give you an idea, even in 2010 most non-big names outside of SV and Seattle paid under $100K right out of school. Many companies in my city were offering $70-80K. Even my big name company paid under $100K in those days.
Power is the amount of work done over a period of time, so even if you can do the same exact set of things with a mouse and keyboard, if the keyboard is faster at doing them, it's more powerful.

You can do all your text entry by clicking keys on an on-screen keyboard if you like, but saying that a physical keyboard is a more "powerful" way to enter text seems reasonable to me.

(sorry in advance, I know this is needlessly "well ackchually" lol)

>The EU is in many ways worse. You have the same problem except that your PhD is worth much less.

This is debatable.

>PhD students in the EU make less than students in the US! And virtually all of them in the US get full benefits.

This is completely false. The absolute highest stipends in the US are at places like Stanford or Columbia and even then only reach something like 45000 per year and both Palo Alto and NYC are much more expensive than Amsterdam. They also do not receive anywhere near the same benefits as in UVA.

>You just said good salary, and listed University of Amsterdam as offering 27900-35000 per year.

With +16% in bonuses, paid vacations, paid sick days, etc.
With bonus the salary is 32364-40600 Which is more than 90% of US stipends.

>At UNC, minimums are: bio $33k, chemistry $28k, CS $25k. And North Carolina is far cheaper than Amsterdam.

Also false. I encourage you to do the math for yourself but Amsterdam is about as expensive to live in as Chapel Hill.

https://www.numbeo.com/cost-of-living/compare_cities.jsp?cou...

Also the stipends in Netherlands are more or less the same across the country so at Utrecht, Maastricht, Leiden etc. which are much less expensive than Amsterdam.

>PhDs in the EU live often in much more expensive areas and make less than PhD students in the US.

This just isn't supported by the data.
Nice little preview of what a world with widespread NFT adoption would look like. Transactions that were traditionally anonymous and between two individuals are now permanently public and have a middlemen collecting their cut. Very empowering.

> Self control is best method for maintaining weight, as it's free and guaranteed to work if used.

Studies done on it do not, as far as I've ever seen, back up the idea that it "works if used" in anything but the most tautological sense (ie. "Anyone who fails clearly didn't actually exert self-control").

If you're aware of any studies that show enduring weight loss in any but a small minority of participants with any regimen that fits your description, please share.
Similar for me. I delivered in about 1972. Paid $2.15 per week.

One day, one of my customers asked me to cut his lawn for $5. I had just learned how to divide and calculated the hourly wage for delivering ($0.37) vs. yard work ($2.50) and immediately resigned the paper route.

Today, it's a guy in a VW Passat cruising around the neighborhood. I wave to him as I walk the dog each morning.

It was actually sad to see the newspaper shrink year after year, starting in the mid 2000s. Then, the paper company started engaging in dark patterns that had them increasing the subscription cost without any notice and I finally dropped them. Media has been in a death spiral since then, with no emerging source to take the place of providing relevant and reliable information about what's going on that matters. It's deeply troubling.

I think you missed my point. Perceiving things that are not real isn't the problem. Perceiving things that are not real, and then thinking they are real, is the problem. If someone watches Moon Knight, that's fine (and also a great show, imho); if someone watches Moon Knight and now believes the Egyptian gods are real and giving people superpowers, that is NOT fine. And no, I don't think religion or propaganda are okay, either, for the same reason.

"And psychedelics give you the ability to re-perceive prior events in different ways. That is a super-important fact for therapeutic purposes."

It is... as long as the new perception aligns with reality. If it doesn't, then regardless of its potential therapeutic properties, it is harmful.

"Personally, it just sounds like we should accept that things which are enjoyable can be useful and vice versa."

Anything can be enjoyable to someone, and many things can be useful. It's about balancing the benefits against the harms and not ignoring either side.
It's literally the most basic shit imaginable, never trust user input.
>But the breathless coverage of their work by news organizations, little more than rephrasing press releases, that's what irks me

How else would stories like this reach the hoi-polloi, if not for media covering their press releases?

>They also suck the oxygen out of the space for other science coverage

Media is not scarce. I've never even heard of Free Think.

If you want to reason about the real world, then a top-left origin will typically be better as it aligns with a right-handed coordinate system of Forward-Right-Down; where the Forward dimension aligns with the range to an object in the scene, the Right dimension aligns with the pixel column, and the Down dimension aligns with the pixel row. As a result, vector operations are more intuitive and there is less mental translation required when mapping between image space and real-world space.
I thought it was a legal requirement for phone network operators to leave phone numbers accessible to all

Is it a legal requirement to allow spoofed caller ID from bad actors?

Spoofed IP addresses used to be a much bigger problem on the Internet than they are today (many examples but see Smurf Attack).

We collectively implemented security to reduce the threat. Phone companies could do the same for spoofed caller ID for companies that consistently abuse it.
In the US you can apply for a PhD path or apply for a masters. The benefit of going straight to PhD path is that it is free (read: zero dollars) if you are in the STEM field. Masters are out of your pocket, unfortunately.

I made the mistake of applying for a PhD track and failed to get in, as those are super competitive. Now I feel as if I cannot ask for new letters of recommendation to try to get a masters. Its a shame, as I would love to go to graduate school one day.

I was offered the chance to be a non-matriculated student with the option of becoming a regular student after 1 quarter, but that is expensive. Once I pay off my car I think I will try to take that offer.
>but I'm terrified that the mentally ill are marginalized and that a crappy but cost-effective approach with a high margin of error may rise to prominence.

I understand the fear but is there any value to be gained by vastly expanding access to Mental Health diagnostics, even flawed ones?

Not being cheeky, genuinely interested. One hears about a Mental Health crisis in the US quite often, so could this actually be a net positive tool?
This is actually not possible. There is a set of laws called the "Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act" or HIPAA. This prohibits us and anyone else to misuse your data and share them without your consent.

Anecdotes aren't very useful but in my department it was pretty clear that most of your work was going to be derivative of your advisors at least tangentially if not directly.

Also I think the article and most of the discussion so far has been around experiences in the US' PhD system so I'm not sure experience in the UK is equivalent.

It's not a supply-shortage, it's inflation. It's just that some businesses are yet to incorporate the markup into their costs. Once that's done, it'll be distributed everywhere equally.
Seconded. I am feeling the enthusiasm of people on this thread and I am really curious - if this could really make me as happy as it makes them I’m totally game, but I just don’t see where it would fit into my workflow. Can some people give more concrete examples of what they use it for?
Well iirc a convenient trait of a random forest classifier is that it cannot overfit onto learning data. Something that's not exactly true for deep learning.

Do you think the subscription value proposition in your lower tier offers compelling value to consumers? What research have you done to make ensure your pricing tiers are market-appropriate?
The same realization applies to UBI.

What we had, in effect, was the closest thing we will ever get to a nationwide short-term UBI experiment and it was a complete disaster.

The worst fears about UBI were realized with just a few payments: people gambling with the money, creating stock bubbles with meme stocks, and contributing to a rapid rise in inflation.

People will say that wasn't really UBI -- but it's the closest we have ever been to it and probably the closest practical implementation we could ever expect from our government, and with "real" UBI people would have been given even more free money.

Syphilis doesn't kill that many but it sucks to have it.

Monkeypox could have been drastically slowed or perhaps even nipped in the bud, but for largely political reasons it was not. We're now looking at yet another endemic disease especially among men who have sex with men. Even if a disease doesn't have a huge death toll it's still worth doing what we can to stop their progress.

One thing I haven't seen much discussion of: future scarring. A Twitterer has Monkeypox sores all around his mouth because of oral-anal sex (he helpfully included a photo of said act taken during an orgy). That might not be the kind of thing you want to advertise on your face for the rest of your life, but YMMV.
I've lost count how many misguided bids of taking x86 to low-power they made. Also the apparent unshakeable confidence that ARM will never become viable on server and desktop.

It's all about features and data scale. Recommendation system itself is actually a large table, DL method already proved effectiveness there. Let's say if you have text in your tabular data. Tree model(with traditional method such as tfidf) will do much worse than the transformer-based model. DL always suffers from inadequate data, so if there's no enough data or inductive biases, tree model can be a better choice in that way.
No, it's appropriate to call it 1.3 billion since that is the amount she would have gotten paid if she had elected to receive it installments.
I feel you. Still, there are legitimate uses for robocalls. My doctor’s office uses robocalls for lab test results, so that patients can get their lab results as soon as the lab tech puts it in the computer instead of having to wait for a person to make the call. Sure, you can email/text these results for most people, but there are still some older folks who don’t know how to email/text.

I tried fasting as well. Every Sunday I would limit myself to about 400cals. I was miserable and mean. It wasn't a good strategy for me.

I'm having a lot more success with a changed way of life, but to do that I also needed the support of those around me. In particular I needed to get my wife on board to help me make better food choices and to have healthy choices at dinner time. She has been incredible and very supportive. Once that shifted into place all the pieces came together. What's interesting is that I almost needed all of them in place to really start seeing the changes I wanted.

What worked for me:

I try and walk at least 30 mins everyday.

I track my activity using an apple watch.

I track what I eat since I don't really know the macronutrients in foods or the calories (lose it app, paid subscription). Before I would just eat until I felt full. What's really interesting is that eating more of the right things I feel just as full but it's many fewer calories and a much better macronutrient breakdown.

I try and get a lot more protein in my diet.

I try and drink at least 3L of water, I think this helps me to not feel hungry as well.

I've been at this for just about 2 months now and I feel and look much better than I have in a long time. I really think that these changes are ones that I can stick with for the rest of my life.

Yes I was referring to maintaining the training set as-is and just running more than one epoch. I don't think we should expect this to necessarily have the same effect as duplicating data in the training set. I understand it's expensive but if the goal of the paper was to try to tease out the leverage from each of these possible variables it's strange they are just ignoring this one, which could be significant.
