Even slightly further off topic, but probably useful in this context. Another top tip in git is that you can use `--color-moved=dimmed-zebra` to get a sense of code that was just moved but unchanged. More importantly, it directs you to code that differs in the midst of a move.

I used it yesterday to spot where a refactor that was moving code around lost changes during a rebase on master.
It has to stay in the drawer or it would disappear as the flow passed tax and repayment points.

If you can see it, it is in a drawer, and therefore not inflationary.

Plus anything you replace it with has the same problem. There is no magic power in interest rates to keep it in the drawer.

There isn't a one-to-one relationship between money and stuff. It's more of an inductive relationship that is more like the power triangle. There is 'reactive money' as there is 'reactive power'.
So now Google can figure out what you're buying too, by scanning your email. Gee, thanks!

This was one of the main reasons I started Fastmail accounts: I didn't want Google looking through financial statements I might receive via email. They were already looking through my email to put doctor appointments on my calendar. I never asked them to do that either.
Your description of this technique as "6x48" reminds me of 1D convolutional neural networks.

I always had a gut feeling that there was some kind of unifying principle between NN and tree ensemble models. I wonder if the latter is kind of like a highly quantized, compressed version of the former, which explains why tree ensembles seem to work better than NNs on "lower resolution" data.
Wonder how many are still using an iPod nano as a watch.

I still use my iPod Shuffles a couple of days a week, so there's probably someone out there.

Every time I upgrade macOS, I'm amazed that even the ancient iPods are still supported. I bunged my launch day Shuffle (17 years old) into my new Mac over the weekend, and it works fine, still syncs, and Finder even still shows the icon for it.

Same with my also 17-year-old iPod Video. Man, 17 years went by quickly.
No. Big businesses that build their corporate HQ get to negotiate with the county for property tax rates. Small business that buy small buildings don't.

You have every right to want to see small businesses replaced by corporate megaliths, but don't pretend you're doing that out of "fairness." That's evil.

>Each sub-reddit has it's own moderation team that decides what's acceptable and then you opt-in. This is pretty close to what ACX is proposing.

No, it really isn't.

Differences:

1) Reddit is super ban happy, and there is no way to view banned content. Ban reasons include slurs, political opinions, as well as no reasons at all.

2) Subreddits are not filters over the same content, they have (mostly) different content.

3) There is a fractal abundance of user-moderated subreddit; yes, there is some bad culture in some of them. This is not what ACX is proposing. He is proposing 2-20 filters, ran by the company, not by volunteers, with a specific purpose and clearly defined.

I really don't see how ACX's proposal can cause illegal behavior or harassment that is not already there.

You're making a false equivalence with reddit, then pointing out reddit has negative emergent properties.
> But then it's not worth it having to charge yet another device daily

This is why the Pebble was good. Charge it once a week.
I know it’s a lot to remember way back to the 90s, but the Clinton presidency was based on an aggressive program of deficit and debt reduction. It worked extremely well and without major inflation, to the point that the Federal Reserve chairman actually began to publicly fret about government debt levels becoming too low. But then in the 2000s it was completely reversed by a Republican President and away we went. Both Democratic and Republican administrations have accumulated debt since. But the lesson I took from this was (1) the US can reduce deficits if it wants to (and without inflation), and (2) don’t believe political rhetoric about spending or fiscal responsibility unless you see action.

Also makes me wish the Iraq war spending had been put into climate change prevention. Can only imagine how much better off we’d all be today.
You keep assuming that the people buying these and living out of them are doing it for no reason. There are a whole slew of reasons why that form factor is growing in popularity.

It's hard to beat the ratio of fuel efficiency, to living space in a good van conversion.

A trailer, even a short one, is a massive problem to park in urban areas and to turn around on remote forest roads. That said, teardrop campers have also been skyrocketing in popularity, as have rooftop tents.

I'm of the same view.

If moderation must be done then let me do it for myself. Give me the tools.

A central moderating authority cannot be trusted at all.

Pretty much this. "ML engineering" has come to refer to the somewhat specialized task of implementing models and algorithms, and "ML ops" has come to refer to all of the other stuff that you just mentioned.
> Java is not very fast compared to c++, or you'd see it in embedded systems all over.

Those are quite different domains, with only minimal overlap.

Embedded systems more often that not are not seeking maximum performance. What matters is smaller code size and running on mimimal hardware. Java doesn't do so well there since you have the overhead of the VM. Java is rarely a sensible choice for embedded code. Just use simple C, or rust if it works for the use case.

(Yes I know project green was originally about embedded set-top boxes! But times changed.)

Performance critical systems are usually large servers for either high througput (web or other server traffic) or low latency (HFT) applications. The opposite end of the spectrum from embedded. That's where Java shines. You might be able to beat Java with carefully hand-tuned C++ but just as likely the JIT might beat you. So for maximum performance server code combined with a more sane developer productivity, Java cannot be beat.
Netflix works because they move content close to the users. This is done by either having the ISP establish a peering connection directly to Netflix hosted servers or by having the ISPs host "Open Connect Appliances" which cache the most requested content. These appliances are based on FreeBSD.

The AWS egress savings from this setup must be immense.

As I said, I don't think this concept of moderation works when applied to an open discussion forum such as Facebook or Twitter, where nothing is actually off-topic, and where people generally feel that they are communicating with friends and followers and can thus set any tone their own community accepts.

But still, if the Hunter Biden laptop story were removed from the Linux Kernel Mailing List, from StackOverflow and from LWN.net (entire platforms), I wouldn't accuse these particular platforms of censorship.
WebP lossless is also RGB lossless. I designed it and this was one of the main functional requirements I chose for it.

Particularly, WebP lossless does not use YUV compression. It does (optionally) reduce component correlations by the 'subtract green' transform.

It might be possible to construct an ICC profile in that formalism that would go close to YUV, but that is definitely not supported currently in cwebp.
HDR is mentioned only once. Yet this should be the primary case for any new image standard.

I'll repeat a comment I wrote here earlier:

Our camera hardware supports HDR. RAW image formats support HDR. Our display devices support HDR. Videos support HDR. Smartphones can now record in HDR.

All the hardware is there ready for the future. Yet due to (30 year old) software limitations we're still cutting off HDR data when saving our precious memories as JPEG. All whites become #ffffff. The white of paper. The color of Word's document background color.

The gamut of color has expanded and we need image standards to expand with it.
That doesn’t seem that many, how many people use Fitbit or Apple Watch?
My iPod nano battery expanded and cracked the whole device open. I almost literally cried, as I loved that little device too much.

Getting a replacement is not an option as any iPod nano battery is about 10 years old now. A sign of what will happen to all the Apple Watches out there.
How would it do that when currency is just another type of debt note.

There are no silver coins any more. You can't debase something that has no base.

People either save or spend. If they spend then it is taxed, and tax withdraws money from the system solving the problem.

The problem is excess savings. We don't need to pay people to save.
> pause merges

That's what I was worried about, but I guess you can't have merge conflicts if you freeze the code.

Suppose you couldn't freeze the code, then what would you have done?
Do you know if there is any documentation regarding interfacing with the KTLS, eg to implement support for a new library?
Yes, Withings things are cool, including the Scanwatch in lieu if what Pebble could have been given the right funding and guidance. I'll get mine if/when they add blood pressure monitoring.
Every single social media platform that has ever existed makes the same fundamental mistake. They believe that they just have to remove or block the bad actors and bad content and that will make the platform good.

The reality is everyone, myself included, can be and will be a bad actor.

How do you build and run a "social media" product when the very act of letting anyone respond to anyone with anything is itself the fundamental problem?
Young middle class people without kids could, in principle, adopt the poor people solution and pocket the savings. But that's not how people work. Only the rich can differentiate themselves enough to escape the stigma.
It's difficult for any of us to really tell how much truth is in every statement. For example readability - its difficult to asses it without looking at your code.

It's nothing personal, but many developers tend to think about their skills higher than they are in reality.

What i can suggest you, is to ask for feedback after interviews. You will get more specifics there

EDIT:
I forgot to actually add a verb in the first sentence and some punctation
If I remember correctly, after Fitbit purchased pebble they released the Versa line up that had some similar functionalities.

Yeah, there were some good articles about this:

>The Making of a YouTube Radical

>I visited Mr. Cain in West Virginia after seeing his YouTube video denouncing the far right. We spent hours discussing his radicalization. To back up his recollections, he downloaded and sent me his entire YouTube history, a log of more than 12,000 videos and more than 2,500 search queries dating to 2015.

The way Scott is right is this:

We aren’t even having a candid, good faith public conversation about all this.

Nothing in content moderation would necessitate banning public figures with heterodox views from your platform. Hell, that’s not even a requirement for censorship.

Banning is for trolls and bots and bad faith actors, which is definitionally never someone with >1million followers.

That choice is about publicly punishing someone and most importantly, distancing yourself personally from that person and whatever they said so you don’t get confronted at a cocktail party.

So yea, when you open up a site to all legal content, you immediately are flooded with people at the very edge or just over every law.

Similarly, when you ban Alex Jones, you pretty soon end up banning everyone who you disagree with.

Most of what is going on right now in social media isn’t moderation or censorship. It’s just being lame and awful and lacking principles and self awareness.
Reading these threads on twitter is like listening to a friend having a bad mdma trip replaying his whole emotional life to you in a semi incoherent diarrhea like stream of thoughts

Please write a book, or at the very least an article... posting on twitter is like writing something on a piece of paper, showing it to your best friend and worst enemy before throwing it in the trash
A gift registry is the one thing better than cash, because it skips an extra transactional step for a purchase that was going to happen anyway.
I dunno, even in C codebases, it's not uncommon to have data structures containing function pointers. Polymorphism isn't inherently bad and trying to achieve it using, say, enums and big switch statements isn't particularly maintainable.
Other than battery life, how does this compare to iwatch?
Consolidation is the problem, not moderation.

HN works because it is a tech forum and can ban religion/politics as it sees fit. We get lots of signal and filter out what we'd otherwise consider noise.

The issue is this doesn't work in generalist situations. Where my signal is your noise, or vice versa, people tend to do one of two things. Filter your noise, or increase their signal.

And thus goes back to the problem of giants. The noise battles we see will use every tool available to attempt to win, legal, political, or illegal. This is where splitting up the giants into smaller control zones with varied views tends to help with moderation.
Nobody has the answers. Social media is an experiment gone wrong. Just like dating apps and other pieces of software that exist that are trying to replace normal human interaction. These first generation prototypes have a basic level of complexity and I expect by 2030 technology should evolve to the point where better solutions exist.
Have you heard of Rust?

I don't know why you were being downvoted for this, it's certainly a bit idiosyncratic but there's also nothing wrong with it.

Edit: I do question why you think this is "easiest". Do you have some really unusual/specific modeling needs?
I’m not very concerned about the semantics of the word censorship. The definition of a word in the dictionary doesn’t also define the boundaries of what behaviors are acceptable.

My point is that unless something violates the first amendment, I’m ok with it. If Bezos kicks people he doesn’t like off of AWS, I’m ok with it. It’s not a public space. The owner of the private space makes the rules. Just like I can kick people out of my house for similar reasons.

Don’t like it? Host it yourself. If the government tries to censor your self hosted content, then I’ll get up in arms.
troff exists.
I see what you're saying: if you add more startup cost then it makes it harder for spammers without legitimate business interest to profit. I think I disagree, though. Legitimate "mom and pop" businesses experience all the pain of learning the process of setting up a store, creating real products and pricing, inventory, delivery etc. They don't need more friction.

These criminals on the other hand are likely automating everything and have the advantage of lessons learned from dozens of iterations.

The article indicated the mimic sites accept credit card numbers but don't actually process them -- to me that is the Achilles heel of the process. If credit card companies started requiring instantaneous verification of the card's actual use (via a card chip reader or an app on user's phone, for example) instead of allowing payment via static information vulnerable to replay at any time, I think that could do a lot more to improve security of online transactions than green check boxes.
Not in my opinion. The closest I’ve found are hybrid watches which will forward alerts (but generally with no text), but certainly nothing with the screen, battery life, and OSS vibe.
The target audience is the RV crowd who don't want have an RV, or the camping crowd who don't want to always camp. RVs are expensive and a pain to drive, and camping is tough in bad weather. Lots of retired or close to retired people go on weekend camping trips to the mountains. Of course, Alex Honnold also made living in a van cool.
How would it destroy anything?

For every debt there is a matching asset by accounting identity. When the asset is spent it creates a flow of taxation that precisely matches the debt for any positive tax rate.

That's a simple geometric series a 15 year old can do. Get a piece of paper and work it out and you'll see.

>most used three-axle full-size rv's start around 80k. these things seem like a grift to screw millennials out of what little cash they had in the first place.

This is an 80k van. You can buy a ready to go motorhome for that. Nobody trying to have fun on a budget is buying this. The target buyers are going to piss their money away on status-broadcasting experiences and goods whether they piss it into Ford's bucket or someone else's. Why does Ford have any less right to get in on the action than any other business?
I've seen a lot of pretty nice builds that were in the low to mid 5 figures, but those are generally conversions done by an owner rather than a shop and aren't starting with a brand new vehicle.
My experience with TeX is a complete opposite. I feel like I can do pretty much anything in plain TeX, with a very good feel of what it is doing in its 'guts'. I wrote parsers in compilers in pure TeX (the latter was admittedly a silly academic exercise). It took a very thorough reading of 'The TeXbook' but after that I am constantly amazed at how deliberate and tasteful Knuth's choices were. TeX is simply ... elegant. I am not sure what 'modern' bells and whistles TeX lacks that everyone is so eager to see. CSS is a nightmare, even with recent additions, it seems clunky, most of its choices look like an afterthought.

It is also somewhat puzzling that same people who advocate for a better grammar would also push the idea of a better markup. So which is it: a better programming experience or a pure markup language that one wants? I feel TeX strikes a near perfect balance here. Most importantly, TeX has stayed nearly unchanged at its core for almost forty years! It is its greatest strength, not weakness. I cannot see what latest fads can improve in TeX

The reality is everyone, myself included, can be and will be a bad actor.

Based on this premise we can conclude that the best way to improve Reddit and Twitter is to block everyone.

And here I sit like a chump with my home server connected to a 100MBit switch. (I paid for that switch, and I'm not replacing it until it gives up the ghost.) (And before you ask, the server also runs FreeBSD, and I'm very happy with the result.)
I was going to comment something about how with modern tooling a lot of people (including me) can write working apps without being too advanced but from your description it sounds like you know quite a lot.

I don't think you have to take the label "bad programmer" because you don't ace job interviews. Those are contrived games anyway, if you practice you can learn to ace them but from your position it doesn't sound nessecary.

I'll also throw out that it's not binary in the other direction either.

"excellent wines" or a great example of a wasteful gift because excellent wines aren't substantially better than OK wines, unless you are a wine enthusiast (not just a wine drinker).

My impression is that these kinds of models need a lot of data to train properly. I made a comment elsewhere in this thread, musing that tree ensemble models could do the same job, as a kind of low resolution quantized approximation. If you have experience in this area of research, I'd love to hear your thoughts on that.
There's "breaking the rules" and then there's "breaking the rules according to a certain interpretation" and then there's "I don't like what he said, so I'm going to interpret the rules in a way that justifies removing his post".

Isn't this just studying your opponent? That's a thing humans do in many competitive activities.

If you know how your opponent tends to play and react, then you can make decisions that while sub-optimal across all opponents, are optimal against this particular opponent. This can of course also be subverted, your opponent may be aware that you've likely studied their previous games, and in a high stakes situation opt to do something wildly uncharacteristic, hoping you will expose yourself by cutting corners to punish their most likely strategy.
