Fungi are like plants. Some are beneficial. Some are not.
> 2. Many of those are social activities, even though we are physically alone. This is completely different from being totally isolated (as implied by the article).

This is also completely different from being physically with others.
Could it be possibly because of some badly written word filter? I’m hinting at the second part of his last name. The extra “g” is there because that’s how it’s spelled in German language, and yes, the translation is what you would guess.

What about "deep leaning" stylometry ?
Does everyone has a longer overview of the different components and how they interact (tracks/streams/...) and the different things you can put in there? Something a little more in-depth that is not a full specification, I guess.

Consensus is no way to make all decisions, especially important ones where people will disagree.
Budapest is a strange choice for comparison.

Just about anywhere in the United States will be a lot cheaper than SF, too, without the huge inconvenience of moving internationally.
More to the point: it's bad policy to normalize her concerns. For the sake of her child we hope that New Mom stops at one and is single. The biggest reason for child abductions is custody disputes and the biggest perpetrators of child sex abuse are older siblings.
It’s just statistics. I recall that during his whistleblowing, Snowden intentionally took anti-stylometry measures.
I wouldn’t be so quick to say it’s legal because google image search is legal. Image search is legal because “thumbnails” and “image search” were decided by the court to be sufficiently transformative and in a different marketplace from “images.”

I could very easily see it being argued that “computer generated images” are in the exact same marketplace as “images” so already that case wouldn’t apply and new legal reasoning would be needed.
> Nobody would have complained if Mercedes had offered 2 versions without the option to upgrade.

If I found out the cheaper car were the same as the more expensive one except for a software anti-feature locking something out, I'd still be upset.
> but the cat’s out of the boot

It's my first time hearing that variant. Usually its, "the cat's out of the bag" where I'm from.

Do you mean boot in the UK sense, what Americans would call the trunk of a car? Or do you mean a sturdy piece of footwear?

My impression from watching the Dune documentary is he couldn’t get money to get the movies he wanted to make.

So he turned to graphic novels with Moebius, which I believe were successful (leading him to make a lot of them with a variety of artists - Manara, Jimenez).

My impression from the Dune documentary is he could find enough funding to pay for all the pre production work that now is in the book, which including hiring 3-4 artists. So I’m not sure he stop making films because he couldn’t get the funding, since the impression is he got enough to pay for those guys to work for him for a while.
I would bet my bottom dollar that the likes of Reddit and Google already have models to turn a corpus of text into probable demographic data and models to measure the similarity of users.
Come on, social interactions will be like all of us at a masquerade party. What could be more personal?
I have 15 years experience, run large production sites, our company sold for near a billion dollars to a foreign company recently, and they are doing layoffs based on "order by salary desc" . My days are numbered. I do SRE mainly, but I code all day and run teams.

Company 1: Terrible over-engineered music firm (no users). Full 7 rounds, exams (which were easy shit), but "VP" ghosted me, he was a former twitter guy, seems like he wants to hire a twitter guy.

Company 2: Credit card company. Full 5 rounds. Four hours of exams. The recruiter feedback from team was "too much of a people manager", then ghosted. Someone lied and said I was non technical - yet i passed the technical exams. I used the term "we" too much explaining projects.

Company 3 (automatic): Finished the exam in LUA for a openresty opensource project (didn't even know lua). Everything worked nicely. I was told he didn't like how i laid out the lua.

Company 4: "Not enough of a people manager."

Company 5,6,7,...: Recuriters make me do calls and exams then ghosted. I don't think they have jobs - just recruiting cause that is what they do.

Exams:

1) using openrusty to create a application load balancer in lua

2) using python to create a url shortener

3) using php, complex input file, then output file (sorting, hasing, parsing)

4) using ruby, connect to an oracle db then do complex queries (outer joins etc). Just for hazing sake, they named the tables keywords eg: "join".

I will say the take home tests at these companies are fun. I have a family and I am very nervous.

by 'word class' i meant 'a set of words that are considered equivalent by whatever your equivalency relation is'

similarly for 'character class'

cf. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Equivalence_class

what i thought the linked program did was that it counted how many of those there were

now on looking at it further i can see that it doesn't seem to be doing that but i don't have any idea what it does do

however, it definitely doesn't take into account the information you would need to learn anything about which candidate equivalency relation is better, which is something you'd need to examine at at least a word level, considering examples like größte, Σίσυφος, and the notoriously fatal sıkışınca/sikişinca pair
I actually have enough credits from "potential customers", who always ask me to build products for them. One of main reason is, i told them, cloud products are shit (due to pricing, customization, and quality of codebase they made), but got no time to actually focus on building the product. So this is the time i want to settle down and make the progress for them.

One example, they have no idea on how to build fast, secure and cheap websites!
I could have used a part of speech tagger, looked at time of day a user posts, capitalization, spelling errors, etc. From what I understand the state of the art is lightyears ahead of this, there are even companies with actual linguists who will act as expert witnesses in court to say stuff like "we can say with 95% certainty that xyz authored this email." Honestly it's kind of scary. There are papers that talk about cross platform authorship attribution, one I think did it with Twitter, Blogspot, G+ and had pretty good results.

Seen a few in my area, but not much (unlike the Zoe or Teslas). Always fun to see, since they're small, silent and not fast (safe) and I assume a lot less costly for young owners.

which comments of mine here do you think would be worth saving
Nah, I don't mean just the "please hold the line." But most of all redirection means that you need to explain the situation to two different operators before the response is sent.
Yes, for me reading can be replaced and optimized by listening text to speech at speeds at faster than my typical reading. Writing still essentialto retain and formalize ideas. Listening doesn't fully replace reading, still need to go back to text to revist ideas when writing, but listening, at least for me, incentivizes approaching new content in first place.
Holocaust denial is totally acceptable to the media and the establishment when it comes to the Ukraine Holodomor.

If the price dropped over time as the warranty ticked away, eventually becoming free after the warranty expires, or if you could ask for it without paying in exchange for voiding your warranty, then this would be reasonable. But they didn't do either of those things.

this is exactly the response I expected, and it has been delivered right on time.

you have proven my point: humans are assholes, and see whatever they need to see to justify how they treat others. you have taken 0.5 seconds of time to believe that you have figured out my problem, in it's entirety, and then made that statement in order to feel superior to me by telling me that it's my fault.

do you really, really think that this has not occurred to me? that I have not taken steps for years to address it? I have. for 20 years I have paid for professional help, and nothing in this situation has changed except me.

for some reason, you felt compelled to tell me that you fully understand the situation that I am living in and that I do not understand the situation I am living in. you are a perfect illustration of the problem I am describing.

thanks, I guess. I expected exactly this and you gladly provided it.

In reality, Chinese manufactures will just ignore FCC licensing requirements. A good amount of cheap Chinese electronics on Amazon are already unlicensed, so I doubt any new changes will affect them. Online marketplaces like Amazon really need to crack down on products and make sure they are properly licensed.
If you define “toxic” as “people disagreeing with you”, sure. That was what the entire internet was like until maybe 2005.

Since it looks for similar word usage, false positives seem to appear more often when specific topics are talked about, like stocks or crypto.

Does this ignore stop words? Or do all words have the same weighting? I wonder if only focusing on stop words would give a more accurate measure. Maybe we are more comfortable with certain stop words more than others?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stop_words

"Stop words are the words in a stop list (or stoplist or negative dictionary) which are filtered out (i.e. stopped) before or after processing of natural language data (text) because they are insignificant."
What's a high correlation number?
It’s very tricky to be against any kind of testing in a professional setting… opens you up for other engineers to question your maturity, professionalism, an and commitment to reliability. Or at least to look substantially more mature, professional, and committed to reliability than you. In front of management that can be death.

People with a lot of clout have absorbed the virtues of automated testing in general and applied it to unit testing in particular. It’s hard to swim upstream on that one.
When I was younger my car broke down and I did not have the money for the replacement part. So I rode my bike to work for 5 months.

This was quite enjoyable most days, it was only 3.5 miles each way. On rainy days, I packed a 2nd set of clothes wrapped in a plastic grocery bag, and also wrapped my laptop in one.

The worst was when it started to drop below 40F outside, and raining.

It was fun until it wasn’t- then repairing the car went near the top of the list.
Cool, so you moved the goal posts from saying "there is no such thing as stranded energy", to saying "yes, bitcoin is reducing the environmental impact of flare gas burning, but we should be doing something else instead (no concrete ideas) that can solve this problem even better". I have explained to you how bitcoin can have a net positive impact on the environment, given existing practices. You now say that since this is not a perfect solution, we should go back to harming the environment more, presumably since you have already made up your mind that bitcoin is evil?

Yes, churches do have positive effects on the cohesion of a community. The problem is that the corruption of the churches has countered their positive effects with negative effects and soured people on the church as an institution. In theory, there's no reason we can't have communities with strong senses of cohesion without deferring to a church, but you have to actually build such a thing and not merely rely one to spring up out of nothing. If you're lucky, perhaps you have a church in your community that hasn't been irrevocably co-opted by authoritarians.

I wrote it because I was interested in the project. I like hearing about technical challenges in graphics and overcoming them. But as I got into it, it wasn’t just a list of “we faced x, y, and z challenges, and here’s how we overcame them.” It was “because Apple are jerks, they didn’t do everything exactly like everyone else.” For example, they say:

“Even with all the hurdles, roadblocks and brick walls put in our way, we're finally back on Mac!”

Hurdles - sure, things are different and it’s a challenge. “Roadblocks” and “brick walls” say that the author believes Apple made things that way with an intention to keep them from writing their software. This isn’t like some copy protection that is literally trying to fool would-be hackers. It’s just a slightly different way of doing the same thing. (I’ve done ports from OpenGL to Metal, so I’m aware of many of the differences.)

It wasn’t even specifically about Apple. It was just the fact that I didn’t want to hear a list of personal grievances with a company they don’t like. I just wanted to understand the technical challenges and solutions without all the moaning and bitching. As I said, it’s pretty impressive on its own. No need to add a bunch of fluff that detracts from it. It just reads like somebody typing “Micro$oft” on Slashdot 20 years ago. Grow up already.

Another thing is in developed countries with domestic ZPG, like US, Japan, Italy, etc. Even if people didn't want to be alone, having none or fewer children means necessarily some will be alone even if they prefer not to.
Well now I'm self conscious about my closest match being an 0.34 when so many other people are reporting much closer matches with accounts that aren't alts. Do I write weirdly?
Tell HN: Apple refuses to delete a personal domain Apple ID that I didn't create
I have a personal domain with catch-all email enabled. Someone signed up for an Apple ID with a scrambled (random) username on that domain, and I got notified about it on my inbox.

This happens every few months and I have usually ignored them because my understanding is that Apple wouldn't allow usage of that Apple ID if the email address is not verified. Since this happens every few months, I decided to act on it this time: instead of clicking on "verify now" on the email I received, I worked through the password reset flow and managed to set a new password to the account.

However, attempting to delete the Apple ID account prompts for answers to security questions, which I don't have because I did not create the account in the first place.

There's a flow to reset security questions as well, but that prompts for an answer to the existing questions.

In chatting with an Apple support member, there's apparently a concept of "rescue email" which is different from the Apple ID and can be used to set new security question answers if the old ones are unknown. I don't get that option which indicates that the account doesn't have a rescue email set.

Since all of my available options are fruitless, I asked that the chat support member escalate my case to a higher-up and they offer to arrange of a phone support because supervisors seem to be available only on phone support. That's not ideal for me because I am a deaf person and I don't sign, and for the reason that I don't want my mobile number to be associated with this Apple ID that I didn't create.

At this point, I am curious to hear if anyone else has ever been in this situation and to understand how you've gotten out of it. I can't imagine that this is an isolated case.

Disabling catch-all on my domain isn't a solution because that'd just make me unaware of new accounts that are being created on my domain. Shouldn't Apple be hard-verifying the email address before allowing any type of usage?
It's beyond dishonest to frame him as paranoid for making the connection when the person he's replying made that connection for him.

He might just be pro-labor but not pro-communist.

Jury nullification is not some divine right, it’s an unintended consequence of jury secrecy. It’s like going into a job interview at Twitter, and just talking about how everything is exploited by bots, and then you just complain about how you aren’t allowed free speech on the platform. Who would hire you?

Wait, bad example.
I agree, but just want to highlight that Holocaust =/= Holodomor, these were two unrelated genocides.
> WW1 was ended, in part, by labour action: the October Revolution in Russia, and the Kiel Mutiny in Germany

"in part" saves you there. Otherwise it's nonsense.

WW1 was certainly not ended by the October Revolution. If anything, it made the war 10x worse, by freeing German troops for Ludendorff's 1918 offensive, which almost succeeded.

The Kiel Mutiny? Maybe accelerated the end by a few days. The Germans were already seeking an Armistice.

> certain kinds of political speech were never really protected

Adams and Wilson were indeed villains here. Lincoln suspended *habeas corpus." Roosevelt sent Japanese-Americans to the internment camps.
I guess they just didn't go back and reparse, not a big problem. I don't think people change their username frequently :P

I don't have an alt but it would be cool to meet my stylometry-neighbors. I'm curious whether the writing similarity translates to oral communication too

It really was. A tad too complex, and too early to fit the cultural soil. VRML had reactive declarative idioms over 3d scene graph.. the current web is very similar but it was heavy and machines / browser weren't ready for that.

I make 180k and spend around 35k a year. Easy to save money when only providing for yourself and living with roommates. I live in a major American city and don’t feel like I’m penny pinching at all, but I’m not really into “classic” money spending activities like drinking and shopping. Saved well over 3 years of expenses this year alone.
To me the size is an advantage. Living in SF this would be easy to park and probably more maneuverable.

A used car comes with maintenance costs, and in practice for this price range would probably be an ICE.

Personally I would be comparing this more to a micro mobility device than a traditional vehicle. In which case it’s a couple times more expensive than a good e-bike but more convenient for errands
Please don't shoot at the messenger. costco shared this voluntarily and I can see no bad intention.

We should see it as an opportunity to learn how easy it is to associate different pseudonymous accounts. Nothing drives this point home better than a practical demo.

We can be pretty sure stylometry is used widely by bad actors already and we should not punish people who help to spread the word about these technical possibilities.
