Black and white can be great. For instance, in The Wizard of Oz, it serves as a differentiation between reality and fantasy worlds. Pleasantville uses it as well. There is a large volume of pretentious monochrome. There are some actual good works though. I prefer good art. Good art exists in both color and monochrome.

I had similar thoughts to yours until I read, "So, I got the hi-res footage from the studio, and we graded it into black-and-white. I worked with Cyrus Stowe, who was the colorist on this version. Basically, we went through it scene-by-scene, and he was really great."

They didn't just put a feather in their cap and call it macaroni. They spent the time to get each scene contrasted correctly.

> The metric system is such a beauty, that it's shocking that is not used everywhere.

You can check with Nassim Nicholas Taleb, I think he nails it. The imperial system is much more natural for people to grasp. A pound is roughly a fist sized rock, but there are no natural objects that weight around one kilogram. And one yard is roughly the length of a step, completely unlike a meter. And so forth. /s

Seriously, I propose a compromise. Europeans give up decimal comma and US gives up imperial measurements. Everyone wins.
The idea that EVs can't charge in an apartment complex is a false assumption. It depends. I know we overlooked some options for a while before discovering we were mistaken and actually could charge. Many others could be making the same mistaken assumptions.
The irony there being that the US was in fact one of the first early adopters of the metric system, metric being the official weights and measure system within the USofA and the US foot being literally defined in terms of the underlying base metre.
I think in one of the Lord Darcy crime mysteries they used a magic spell to reveal the last thing a murder victim saw.
>if there is a sample threshold where it's worth exploring deep learning

Not especially, but there are tasks where DL models seem to occasionally outperform by a little. If you really want to milk extra accuracy it can be worth it to try a DL model, and if it performs as well/better you can use it to make an ensemble along with your GBM or replace the GBM, though it's rare that it is worth it. If you check tabular data kaggle winner writeups most use gbms or an ensemble for a tiny boost over just a GBM.

Assuming limited time to work on the problem, you'd almost always want to focus on further feature engineering first and likely some hyperparameter tuning second.

Yes exactly. We agree on this. Israel and the Palestinian territories are separate. The government of the Palestinian territories is Hamas, and Hamas is responsible for the conditions therein.

Israel is not the same as the Palestinian territories, it is a neighbour, and in the state of Israel, Jews and Arabs and Christians and Atheists have very similar rights.

There is a lot of unfounded fear about AI in general lately.

Reality is that AI features rarely replace anyone but amplify the individual that can incorporate it in their skillset.

The best option would be if models like Imagan, Dall-E and Midjourney all followed this open principle, as each of the approaches has its strengths and weaknesses and could potentially learn from each other to improve.

Not that many, actually. You can't print most metals or glass (not without extreme temperatures), nor weaved materials. Maybe there are some ceramics that could be printed? You will also perhaps be able to print wood composites and a few other biological materials. Perhaps you may even print some electronics (though not something advanced like a microprocessor or FPGA).

If I'm missing somethign some examples of consumer goods you really think could be replaced by an advanced 3D printer that fits in an apartment or small-ish house (say, at maximum the size of a larger washing machine) would help a lot.
A 2x efficiency improvement from a GPU to a specialised ASIC not particularly impressive. How much would you gain by removing the graphics related stuff from a GPU (texture pipelines, vertex processing, etc.?). In addition, they lose existing programming models like OpenCL and the compiler progress that happened in the last 10 years and have to roll their own. The amount of SW work needed to support this must be a lot to get the same ease of use out of it as GPUs. Maybe they made it more CPU like to make it easier to program?

There is a secondary series, B, in which the base size, B0, -instead of being defined for its area of 1 square meter as is A0- is defined to be 1 meter wide. A series is then 1, 1/2, 1/4, etc square meters, while B is 1, 1/2, 1/4, etc meters wide.

It's not as common as the A series but it's used occasionally and it offers intermediate sizes between those of the A series.
Recent example I encountered: TikTok web API has dynamically generated parameters X-Bogus, msToken and _signature (could be slightly wrong, it’s been a while) that are verified server-side. I haven’t reversed their mobile app so not sure if they also employ MACs there, but I’ve seen these from other apps in the past. And it’s harder when employed in an app; on the web you’ll be reversing (obfuscated) JavaScript in a readily available debugger, whereas for an app you’ll likely be reversing from disassembly.
Running self-hosting email is not problem. There is so much solutions to run easily own server these days. But the main problem is that you need a lot of knowledge to do that properly - software might help but it will never be "run and forget" service type.

Do you have any idea having two new car loans improves your credit score any more than having one new car loan? OP might have enough income / savings to not be bothered at the idea of buying two new cars (they don't have to be Bentleys, people take out loans on Civics too).

My gut says that having two of the same age wouldn't be much/any better than one, but then again it's the credit industry and my intuition has bitten me in the past.
Do you not find that your self-righteous comment about lockdowns is just about tone deaf as "I had covid, it wasn't that bad"? First of all, here are a couple more countries on the planet except the US.

Second, yes, great, you improved your marriage, I am really happy for you. But many people had it really bad. I can tell you what my life was in 2020-2021. In the first lockdown I watched my gf at the time going into a full-scale psychiatric meltdown and slowly losing grip on reality. I believe it was mostly caused by the stress of lockdowns. It completely destroyed our relationship because I didn't have experience nor expertise nor resources to be a full-time mental health nurse on top of everything else. All energy I had at that time I spent on trying to keep her from suicide (luckily I succeeded).

There were also periods when I was alone, totally alone, not seeing anyone IRL for weeks. This soul-crushing loneliness (together with lack of understanding from literally everyone) was the worst that I experienced in my entire life. If I could swap this horrific time for having covid five times in a row, I'd have done it without hesitation. If you told me that would mean 10% chance to die, I'd have done anyway. The only contact I had was occasional video chats with friends. Many of them were having more quality time with their partners and couldn't really relate why I was so miserable. Almost all of them recommended me more netflix to deal with this. It built up an awful lot of resentment. I lost some friends over this. Getting over a good friend telling you with a straight face "it is your fault you were unprepared for a global pandemic, if you started a family and had kids, you would have had it a lot easier" was pretty hard, believe me.

So for me lockdowns were devastating. Covid? YMMV, of course, but for me it was just a bad cold.

I would just not do anything and continue on the original chain. Yes, if most of the world moves to the other chain, that fork will be Bitcoin for the rest of the world. The issue is if my time preference is low enough to await/speculate on the demise of the chain due to the issues I've identified and made me not switch.
Quite impossible, except if you run a steel mill or something. End-user prices for electricity have been >0.20Eur/kWh for around 10 years now, currently approaching >0.40Eur/kWh (sometimes even more).

See e.g. some comparison website like verivox.de (beware the dark patterns, use "Postleitzahl" 20095 for Hamburg center).

Edit: and those are 2022 prices, usually most suppliers have a 12month fixed price which changes on 1st of January. So all the current price hikes in power and gas will only be priced in in 2023, current offers usually don't include those yet.
I read the article.

How to explain his quote though? He seems to buy into the idea of evil governments (China) and good ones (his own) that can somehow be petitioned!

He seems to have no recollection of the Edward snowden revelations. The learning here was that Western governments collect information on their own citizens as part of their governance methodology, they are the worst, but they do this covertly (for now).

In the west, the trick seems to be to make/allow people to think they have some autonomy via 'representative democracy' while propagandising them via the corporate governance arm. In the west, we don't seem to be able to recognise that corporations and government are 2 wings of the same bird, whereas in China they do not suffer that illusion.

Put simply, its individuals versus authority. If you believe you need to have an authority to decide for you, so be it - do as you will. The problem is that most authority believers seem to think it is ok to inflict governance on everyone else too!
The maximum bound for most gTLD registries is ten years (have a dig around the ICANN website if you'd like to check), not fifteen. Sure, there might be a ccTLD that allows you to register a domain for longer than that, but I'm not aware of any, and ccTLDs usually have lower maximum renewal/registration bounds than the gTLDs.

If a registrar is letting you renew a gTLD for 15 years, they're basically sitting on a third of your money until the domain's expiration date comes up.
I suppose that he is rather visiting the large pots of money that they have sitting besides them. Not sure if Johnny Mnemonic is going to have something so enticing for him.

>Inside cities and villages, I don't think I've seen roads with a bike path, but without a pedestrian path.

I see this situation all the time. Does every single bicycle underpass under the motorway have a full sidewalk alongside it? I can point to many situations in the Hague, Utrecht and Rotterdam where the bicycle path is the only option for pedestrians getting from point to point. I also know of tunnels that have bicycle paths but no pedestrian path. The only way to get across as a pedestrian is to use the bicycle path.

100%. I recently quit a job (FAANG) after 13 years and I thought I have so much institutional knowledge that mu departure would be impactful for at least a little while.

And while I was under no illusion of my importance and did not expect any breakdown of the team or anything like that, I did think I would get at least ONE question after I left from my previous teammates about some obscure thing that I thought only I knew.

Nada. No one asked me anything - they had no issues for which they had to reach out to me. Team did a re-org and things just kept moving. It was a humbling realization to say the least.
I would be curious to know more about this case too, fwiw!

Personally, I've only struggled a bit with the borrow checker in a couples of cases: trying to have self/circular references when trying to model OOP, and when fiddling/interacting with some low level async code. Both were unnecessary in my case, and each situation was caused by a lack of understanding.
I'd say it's part of it in the sense that it's based completely on it. It's not a unit or set of units though.
> makes the O(lognlognn) sorting network cheaper

Good point.

> subarrays vary in size

Hmm. Haven't thought about this too much yet, but it seems to me that you'd probably still even win if you had to branch once you run out the common prefix to find a new subarray. Or maybe you try to find subarrays with similar sizes and mask out the last n stores (if your subarrays are too mismatched in general, then you hit the worst-case of quicksort _anyway_, so).

> ips4o effectively does a 64 or 256-way partition, but that's also nontrivial to vectorize

This is interesting. 64 and 256 are annoyingly large--mainly because you have to scatter to make any sense, and scatter-store is slow by comparison where it's even supported--but just 4 seems potentially feasible.
How does it deal with the macro-in-macro-in-macro soup that a non trivial amount of headers are? c2nim does a decent job but struggles with some of those types. gcc -E on the header works around it, so I wonder if c2nim could be made to operate similarly to what you’re describing.
And 2x4s? (I hear you call them 4×2s over there...)

I think all these discussions are pointless, since we lack any rigorous definition of intelligence or "understanding." Going for something "human-like" might be worthwhile simply for the fact that we associate intelligence with humans and thus would more easily accept it in something that mimics us, despite never being able to prove that it is actually intelligent. In the same way, going for some technology that is more rationally explainable might cause humans to doubt its intelligence, because we still don't understand human intelligence and thus people would conclude such a thing can't have human-level intelligence. But that has nothing to do with the most reasonable path towards AGI. Almost all the approaches I've seen listed so far can't be accepted or dismissed with today's state of research - we can only pursue as many of them as possible and hope that the path clears up eventually.

You are right, I edited my comment.
Great article! (author's book on ML are very good, greatly recommended).

Even though Deep Learning on Tabular data is a topic that is picking up interest, I'd try to stay away from it as much as possible. The main advantage of "statistical methods" (in contrast to Deep Learning) is the interpretability.
Most business applications of Machine Learning happen on "tabular" data (explicit features) with a lot of knowledge by the company about the features selected.

A simple Decision Tree gives you AMAZING accuracy and you can still understand what's going on behind the model.

Interpretability in Business ML applications is, IMO at least, the single most important trait of the model selected.
And then you have the C series. Mainly envelopes that are mean between A and B thus fitting the A reasonably inside.
It is not Israel's state to offer. Either they annex the land and give Palestinians universal suffrage as the democratic country they claim to be, or unilaterally pull out of the land they are occupying (which includes land in Syria). They don't need to consult with Palestinians to withdraw to internationally recognised borders.

There was no clear offer of statehood in any case, only negotiations where both sides accuse the other or themselves for failure.
> Push notifications, essential for seeing mail "in time", are a proprietary, inconsistent mess.

There isn't any such thing as "in time" for email, and there's no provision for "push notifications". I imagine parent is describing a web UI; webmail interfaces generally poll an IMAP server. Just like my desktop mail client.

> replies that don't involve sending hundreds of pages back and forth

That's not a problem with email; that's a user-education problem. Trim and contextualize.
Reminds me of the time our CTO sent 35000 emails to a single customer. The poor guy had his email ddos’d for days. Even though our email api quickly stopped sending emails after we ran out of credit, the guy was still getting the same email for days. It was as if the emails were taking weird paths through the internet and queuing in certain places before turning up
Because they are a weird middle ground. UK uses metric paper, metric weights and measures for _most_ things, metric temperature. Where Imperial starts to slip in is distance when driving (but not when running...), volumes of Beer and Milk (mainly cause we want more beer than 500ml) and body weight (where we use Stones, which is weird). There are probably some other things as well, but metric is the dominant system (for people under 60) for sure.
Multiple profiles is good practice.

However I'd suggest two things.

Use roles to assume access into other accounts across your AWS Organisation.

So, instead of what the article says, try:

[default]
aws_access_key_id = XXXXXX
aws_secret_access_key = XXXXXX

[staging]
source_profile = default
assume_role = arn:aws:iam::your-staging-aws-account:role/dev-staging-role

[production]
source_profile = default
assume_role = arn:aws:iam::your-prod-aws-account:role/dev-prod-role

This reduces the number of IAM keys you need to manage and worry about rotating.

The IAM key for default should only have permissions to assume into other roles.

The second suggestion is to look at using AWS SSO (now called AWS Identity Center[1]).

This replaces long-lived keys on your machine, and instead you authenticate through AWS SSO to get a set of temporary keys. You can tie AWS SSO back to require you to authenticate through GSuite or another SAML Identity Provider if you like, or use their built-in IDP.

I have been wondering about that. Are these meters built on the assumption of a purely resistive load, or will they give accurate readings even with a switch mode power supply? My very limited understanding says these draw current in a very different pattern than a resistive load. The meter would actually have to integrate voltage×current to be accurate, I think.

Want a new bed? Just buy these seeds, plant them in a (at minimum) bed-sized pot, and don't forget to water, fertilize, keep in the right temperature range, and keep pests away for the next 1-2 years. Once it's fully grown, you'll just have to dig it out and allow a few more weeks until it stops growing new roots, a few more months until it dries into its final shape. Then, get ready to do some light sculpting to get rid of the root system, make good equal-sized flat feet, get rid of any branches that stick out. Now, buy some lacquer or paint to cover it thoroughly so it doesn't start rotting.

Hopefully it will not develop any disease or cancer in this time that could ruin its shape or kill it before it reaches the desired size.
