My interpretation of the point here: the people running this data set work for a scientific org but they don’t consider science to be their sole or top priority. Rather modern progressive mores sometimes take precedence.

I suppose it’s ok to consider the trade offs between these concerns. But at times this comes off as pure censorship in support of dogma, and that fails to convince anyone except those who already want to be convinced. Ie it’s not improving our discourse it’s just making science worse.
Every Walmart I shop at has a full service deli counter and bakery. The deli counter stocks unique items that would be rare or special orders anywhere else in town. My experience may not be universal, but it at least falsifies yours as being universal too.
"now" is "within one year", and we're already in a recession, so they don't need to predict much.
‘Immense harm’: Medibank confirms hackers have stolen customer data
The people who collected that data from you and the people who weaponized it against you are probably not the same people, but it makes no difference if the former permitted the latter.

As for correcting misinformation, I'm sure you've heard that misinformation travels further and faster than the truth. By the time you figure out where their statistical errors were, the study has already been spread around the world by those that wish you harm.

Furthermore, most of the people from whom the data is collected are not scientific researchers. They are members of the general public. How can a firefighter, real estate agent or aerospace engineer refute a jargon-heavy genetic research paper with subtle statistical errors? Go back to university first? You don't have the time or expertise to refute every bad paper written about you.
If a neuroscientist can explain a truly brain, they would be able to explain a much simpler thing such as a CPU or GPU. But, can they? No, they can't.

Psychology is in great part pseudoscience. Lots of studies that are neither falsifiable or reproducible.

Psychiatrists are the modern equivalent of barber surgeons, or trying to make fine jewelry with a chisel and a hammer.
> Or if you are turning left you should try to make room on your right, so that those going straight can get around you. No way Waymo vehicles will be doing that.

Why do you say that? In this video you can see it doing exactly that, pulling to the side a bit to make room on the left for a vehicle doing a weird u-turn inside an intersection: https://youtu.be/rGfV_3HPnYE?t=442 If anything, common behaviors should be among the easiest for an AI system to learn.
Actually, studying the genetic aspect will reduce this bias, as research should find the same porportion of genes involved in intelligence (or some equivilant) in both groups.

That’s not necessarily weird. Xcode has its own idea of organization you use that doesn’t need to match the filesystem at all.

If you downloaded and opened it in Xcode it may look well laid out.

(I’d like the ability to turn that off or ‘sync’ the two personally for my projects)
Understandable. I don't want to give the impression that my ideal conversation involves a Talking Pillow. We're probably all imagining the far, opposite end of the spectrum when we think about it. I'm picturing my old boss who couldn't go 10 seconds without stammering his way into my sentence, which drove me nuts, but like I said in another comment, interruptions probably happen in every conversation and it's only the routine, out-of-place ones that are frustrating.
Would you invite the allegedly subhuman human races to this intelligent discussion? Would you really want to start a dialogue with whether or not you deserve equal treatment? If you'd like to talk to someone who discriminates against your people, you're welcome to do so now without distracting the broader scientific community from better pursuits.
Git is software for manipulating graphs which, instead of drawing a graph you manipulate, makes you memorize a bunch of strings of magic words that map to certain transformations given certain graphs, try to imagine the current state of the graph, try to figure out which magic words will change the state you think it's in to a different state you want, try to imagine that state, then apply the transformation without seeing the result, and then type other magic words to try to figure out if typing words transformed your graph the way you thought.

Instead of showing you a graph and letting you change it.

It's mainly used by people who would say they're writing software, not manipulating graphs.

It also doesn't tell you this is happening, so people coming from another VCS don't even know there's this whole other part they should know. They memorize commands that seem to work, it goes ok, and then one day they ruin everything. Silly, that command means something different in the context you had no idea you were in. Duh.

Their experience with Git is that it's hard to make it work and then it randomly blows up. It's not because they're stupid or lazy. They're normal people dealing with a system that from their perspective is almost cartoonishly hostile.

They might wonder why they need to care about some underlying data model just to save their work instead of what they're doing now. If you have an answer that will make them want to switch, I suggest you spend a good while showing them pictures of history trees and ways you can change them. Name things slowly: this node is a "commit," this state change is a "reset," this transformation is a "rebase." If you have a workflow on top, draw more pictures of its states and changes using those terms. Then (re)introduce Git, a tool that does what you've shown them. Then set them up with a client where they have that flow with those terms and a graph they can look at, if not manipulate directly.
Totally agree with the principle, but you memory may be off there. New window popups mostly went away about 20 years ago. These kinds of overlay dialogs never went away. I remember visiting plenty of WordPress blogs in 2006 that had a newsletter subscription modal.
Sort of? It’s absolutely more time and effort if I include “exercise time” in my now every few days grocery runs. So rather than take 5 minutes each way in a car once a week traveling to the store you’d like me to walk to the closer expensive store several days a week and say it’s only sort of quicker and easier? You have to construct reasons to make it better and even then a walk to the store isn’t the same as a gym workout. I’m much happier walking to the park several times a week with my family than walking to the store with them.
I am trying to get a good overview of how NH3 would work at scale as an energy carrier versus H2 or CH4. Any reason to speculate that one of them will dominate? Have you read any good overview?
Ammonia also plays better with alkaline fuel cells, as there is no CO2 to precipitate carbonates (as there would be with methane as the hydrogen source). You still would have to filter CO2 from the air being fed into the fuel cell, though.
It mainly deals with after the revolution began (though covers a fair bit from before, if I recall), but Robert H Patton's Patriot Pirates is a good read (and also dispels the myth that private citizens couldn't own canon and "warships" around the time the 2nd amendment was created).
Nothing about solar cycles, or sun position, and other seasonal factors relating to fetal development. An old topic, covered in better detail in a plethora of past research articles. Might be more revealing to read about seasonal differences between children born in south vs north hemispheres.
I think its not only that but also the nature of the work.

Historically most labour was rote physical labour with bursts of problem solving thrown in. Now we spend all day doing problem solving with very little physical labour. I think the mind gets tired just like the body.
Cool. Interesting to note that the original is not necessarily the "correct" real world color palette (it's accuracy is subject to camera settings, sensor response, lighting, etc), so the colorized version could in theory be even better than the original in some or all areas of the photo.
It came true, but instead of Python being fast, all the apps are slow. And we AWS is making $$$ hosting these Python apps on 10X bigger machines than what would be needed if written in a faster language
Orphan works are reasonably easy to determine, they're usually many decades old and have had no royalties paid through the normal/usual channels for years—and they couldn't be paid anyway as the contact has long since been lost (address unknown).

Just to be sure, schemes to protect owners exist and could be implemented. For example, all works in this category would appear in published lists with say a year's grace—if the copyright owner turns up within the grace period with proof of ownership then the work remains in copyright.

There's another type material that we do not normally think of as being in copyright but in fact is. That's things like circuit diagrams, blueprints, plans, etc. from, say, obsolete equipment where the company has long gone bankrupt. Often there was no payment made for this info in the first instance as it came with the equipment (as manuals etc.). Denying it now on a copyright 'technicality' stops maintenance industries, hobbyists etc. from building repair infrastructures and such.

Really inspiring story. Why did you pursue school so late in your career? Just to prove to yourself that you could do it?
I think what the commenter is referring to is this:

" I often get so bored it's hard to pay attention because either 1) they left something out that I wanted to ask about so I can't follow what they are saying, or 2) I already had a thorough understanding of something they insist on giving a long explanation of. "

This leaves a really bad taste in my mouth, of arrogance.

To me this sounds like a bad listener: short attention span, short memory: ergo, judging the other speaker as using an "inferior" mode of communication. There's a judgement built from a prejudice which is incurred by personal shortcomings. Fix the shortcomings (by practice) and the judgement goes away (potentially, because I'm not a mind reader).

Your other comments have made it very clear that your assertion of a superior mode of communication relies on context, but that assessment doesn't jive with this paragraph. Hence, it is indeed a "doozy".

This article links to another called "PHP Sucks", which is a broken link - that's the third time I've run into that same broken link this week. I guess it's destiny that I go and read it for real.

Luckily, it's a Github Pages page (of the old kind, before the transition to .io domains) and is still on the user's GH Pages repo: https://github.com/nikic/nikic.github.com/blob/master/_posts...
Or maybe they will use that data to discover that IQ scores are noticably lower in the community and surrounding areas where an open-pit mining operation is leaching toxins into the water? Or maybe the data is used to determine the most effective public policy interventions to assist communities where scores are lower? The first step in addressing a problem is to recognize than in issue exists in the first place. Whether we measure them or not, differences in intelligence will continue to exist, and that will lead to disparate socioeconomic outcomes.
I care more what happens to me, than what I care what happens in a random part of the world. You may not like it, and it may not suit your agenda, but it do be like that.

Love our Haggen's!
In my current gig, I would be content if the just has consistent error handling. But for of dozens of endpoints (REST and grpc), there are almost as many different kinds of error responses. Some will return a 400 instead of a 404, some will return a 500 for any error, some will return a sensible error code but the status and message amount to "you called GET on XXX and it failed"

Depends on when you would see it. Because of inflation the color of things far away is shifting to longer wavelengths so they become invisible later in the timeline of the universe (invisible to humans).
A lot of the author's questions can be answered by "use an inverted index".
> I think the gruling overwork that most of us experience is more a feature of fuedal and then industrial culture, than a natural state of existence.

Sure, but so are a lot of other features like modern medicine, communications, transportation, that come with industrial culture.

Assuming that you are talking about making the privilege of being a stay-at-home parent universal (independent of one's financial means), then I agree with the goal, but that is only realizable via industrial culture coupled with an income and wealth distribution that makes it possible for only 1 parent in the house to work.

It would also probably require people to live with less. When mothers were staying at home in the 1950s, the median home size was 983 square feet. Today it's about 2700 square feet.

All that extra space and the stuff it is filled with costs a lot, which is another reason that both parents need to work.
Just the other day I added a recent example to that page, from https://www.wsj.com/articles/internet-mangles-names-accents-... where it is obvious that databases are storing pre-escaped data.

This might be because of really old data and old code that saved it. But changing this decision is very hard, so I imagine many systems that adopted escape-on-input once are stuck with it.
> The best solution is to aggressively log errors

Until one day you find some random dev is logging failed authentication attempts and including the email and password in the logs…

(and the most amusing part of that incident was tracing down the offender by finding the earliest of those particular log lines, and getting his real email address password out of them… “Hey Phil, what’s ‘Dragons87!’?” “Ummm, what? That’s, errr, my gsuite password. How did you know?”)
Clueless people will happily trod down this path and not see where it leads. People who’ll say things like “people should use their real names online and be held accountable!” go silent when the places mandating this are the ones killing people for saying the leader is a flawed human or because someone didn’t properly cover their hair.

VPN bans make the oppression inescapable. You see who the real dangerous people are when those who’ll still defend it come out.

It’s easy to think these dangers are just “over there.” It’s important to remember these things will happen here if we’re not careful.
> Or maybe they will use that data to discover that IQ scores are noticably lower in the community and surrounding areas where an open-pit mining operation is leaching toxins into the water?

One research group may do that, while another weaponizes the data instead. One doesn't cancel out the other.
To me "post publicly" has to be contextually understood. The set of people who need to be psueodonymous is certainly non-zero, but even as a small cohort represent an exception to the norm. The set of people who need to be anonymous is highly specific, to me. It's people with legal obligations to them or from them, people at risk of harm. It's not "I feel like my free speech demands this" -note the use of "need" above. "want" is fine. I get that many people want things.

Most normal discourse, in the wider space, I believe even if you have a self chosen tag, your identity should be knowable, if some things arise. I can handle that its a high barrier to entry (to uncover it), but the supposition all posts all the time have complete anonymity, simply because you assert you want it, that the supposition fails for me.

This causes free-speechers a lot of grief. My personal view is informed by many many years participating in national and international forums discussing what hate speech does, and what free speech means. Inside any cohort who are typified as "wanting anonymity" you find people who also suffer the consequences of being targetted by anonymous hate. I don't see how to reconcile speech rights, with harm minimisation except by requiring identity, even if hidden behind a veil.

I appreciate this has chilling effects. I kind-of go to that if it chills the "shout fire in crowded theatre" thing, its done it's job.

I also appreciate its not free speech in the wider sense, and it may not even be capable of being free speech in the narrower senses for a lot of people. I think reductionism over free speech is one of those things which really falls down a hole. Almost all 'there is no constraint on my speech' claims fall over when it comes to national security (for instance)

I'm pretty sure the EFF people won't agree with me, and I mean them no disrespect. Or a lot of the IETF human rights and privacy people: likewise, I mean them no disrespect. I just come to a different conclusion from free speech reductionists, when it comes to societal/wider harms, from the lack of functional constraint on online speech, and identity issues relating to online speech.

The chinese social credit scheme is horrid. The consequences for chinese citizens of unconstrained speech, and identity is also awful. So I know there are strong counter cases to what I say.
Anonymous speech is important for anti-corruption. The Washington Post's Watergate investigation would not have taken place without the anonymous sourcing by "Deep Throat."
> We don’t disappear people here.

And we know this because whenever it's reported to have happened, authorities debunk such claims by pointing out it doesn't happen here.

I agree that in this case he's probably just avoiding the FBI, but even that tends to indicate that the FBI does disappear people, or else it wouldn't be necessary to avoid them while in possession of, uh, hurtful material.
This one helped me recently to access my UPS MyChoice account. Got an error message on login attempt, but really didn't give enough of a darn to waste my time calling their support (as was recommended in the message). Reddit was full of reports with a tip that it was related to forced password reset where the old password doesn't meet new complexity requirements, and I was able to download the mobile app and reset my password.

UPS owes that reddit user a beer for helping out at least 30 people (by up votes) at zero cost to themselves.
How does speech cause harm?
> Should we presume that it must be an invisible ball of matter that gravitates but we have no other way of detecting except through the same effect we use to infer its existence, or should we tweak Newton's laws of physics?

I mean this is literally how they discovered Neptune? Dark matter isn’t necessarily some magically invisible particle, we’re just trying to count up all the different types of objects in the universe.
That's why Darwinism works best in ensuring that only the fittest survive. :-/
Other than a direct threat or call to action that involves direct threats, how is speech "harmful" - sure, sometimes I get my own tyrranical bents and wish that certain things would be better left unsaid, but realistically, what is "harmful speech" besides someone with particular foul breath?
Are there any other FDWs that do ML inference?

Remember, this is not plain file serving -- this is actually invoking XGBoost library which does complex mathematical operations. The user does not get data from disk, they get inference results.

Unless you know of any other solution which can invoke XGBoost (or some other inference library), I don't see anything "embarrassingly overkill" there.

Saying that Spotify is "producer-friendly" must be couched in the context of the times. 100% of $0 is still $0, and at the time most people were just pirating music so you weren't making anything off of recordings. If Spotify wanted to give you literally fractions of a cent instead of $0, you were going to take that. I wouldn't say it was ever really friendly to producers...mostly to consumers and, in order to be friendly to consumers, they had to win over record labels. And I think Spotify made a _lot_ of compromises in order to do that, including taking money that should really be going to producers and paying off the RIAA/labels so they continue to put their catalogs on there.

Source: I was a producer when Spotify started and I still am.
This is probably not the worst idea. Would mean a lot of sites go invite only though. Which might be an improvement but it does lower accessibility though.

And I don’t think it would be enough for the modern wave of political censorship. It isn’t enough to just not look at content you don’t like, you have to ensure others can’t see it either.

Stuff like semi private discord servers for example are being targeted.
AI will replace middle management before robots replace hourly workers
That seems like a good idea, but the problem is that any ID long enough to be sensibly globally unique is likely to be a long string of random-ish characters, and unless the end user has at least a screen cap – highly unlikely – there's about a 0.0001% chance you'll get the code correctly.

On the flip side, if you're willing to give up globally unique for "unique enough within and reasonable time frame" then you can go with just a few characters or even short words.
The idea behind the interactive map is to know more about the characters and their locations as you progress through chapters OR watch the HBO show! I found it to be a very fun, useful, and a unique idea.
Assuming they're communicating with a geostationary sat of course - and the vast majority of sats these days just aren't (Starlink constellation being an obvious example of thousands).

Even the quote from the wikipedia article [1] is dubious:

as many weather and climate satellites are on near earth polar precession orbits to rapidly scan (obit time between one and two hours) a full circle about the planet for a full picture.
