I don't think it's racism or any -ism of that kind any more than it is difficulty relating automatically.

I am fairly certain that this is something that can be trained, but the degree to which I can relate with a man with ABC properties (except gender) will almost always be less than the degree I relate to a woman with ABC properties as gender is also included.

These decisions are always made rapidly, unconsciously, and when we have very little information about a person other than what we can immediately observe.

Changing the image that we have about people with other properties alleviates this.

It’s only a gut feeling, based largely on the predictions and accounts I’ve seen from those with actual first hand knowledge around the reasonable questions that you pose.

My framework for thinking about this at a technical level is that short term improvements can come from a number of factors, including optimizing the number of parameters, more data, better data preparation and selection, hyper parameter tuning, etc. I understand that many of the emergent capabilities we’ve seen recently from LLMs have come from more data, and I’m honestly not sure how to assess where short term accuracy improvement is most likely to come from.

I think that this is a good summary of the problem. The incentives seems misaligned. And I am not sure that paying for content would magically make this disappear. Or if so, then the companies should offer completely different products to paying customers, not just ad-free experiences.
Show HN: An open source tool to generate Jet Engine compressors
Hi everyone started this project a year ago to generate the CAD for a Jet Engine Axial Compressor. I am now open sourcing this tool that can take in a JSON file with specs and generate the CAD assembly. Still has a lot of work to improve designs but there isn't anything the Open Source community can't accomplish!

Maybe. It's all a trade-off. At the moment, I'm running to get one version up and running and willing to revisit design decisions when contemplating a version 2. (If I don't do it that way, I'll keep getting sidetracked by cool suggestions like yours and never get V1 done! :)
ITAR is an export restriction, not an import restriction.

BTW x64 ans aarch64 have pretty different memory consistency models, so some performance-sensitive C++ code may either end up unnecessarily slow, or even surface a bug.

But this only applies to a very tiny amount of in-house code which hasn't been tested on aarch64 before.

I'd expect 99.9% of C++ code to just cross-compile and run without issues.

The recent guidance from the HHS[0] indicates in many cases installing Google Analytics or the Facebook SDK would be considered sending health data to Google or Facebook and therefore be considered a HIPAA violation. From the HHS[0]:

> Tracking technologies on a regulated entity’s user-authenticated webpages generally have access to PHI. Such PHI may include, for example, an individual’s IP address, medical record number, home or email addresses, dates of appointments, or other identifying information that the individual may provide when interacting with the webpage.

Most solar panels are angled to the South to capture the most sun. I read somewhere that fixed installations are better because:

1) The money spent on panel rotators can be invested into having more solar panels.

2) Affixed solar panels are significantly more storm and hurricane proof. If there’s one bad storm with rotating panels, your investment principal is gone.

3) Maintenance costs increase when these moving parts eventually break. Fixed panels have no moving parts.
I'm using Efficientdet for object, which is not that great but pretty fast on a GPU.

I don't have any zones, but I do have a custom detection algorithm. Since I only look at a frame every few seconds I went with an algorithm a bit more optimized for that application, it has to detect motion with only one frame or it won't get another chance for several seconds, and possibly miss the event.

Basically I take the difference between this keyframe and the last one, then do an erosion to remove pixel noise and tiny movement.

After the erosion I take the average value of the pixels and get rid of any pixels not significantly above that, to get rid of small uniform lighting changes and really noisy artifacts in low light.
Then after that I square every pixel and square root the mean of the whole image.

I forgot how complicated this was and how many tweaks I added!

And for the motion detector specifically:

my guess is that EU/GDPR will eventually force us to come up with something, pay attention to the area, and assert our global dominance. the way we're continuing to fight/hate China seems like the first entry point into some kind of federal data laws.
It could be worse but one thing that constantly bothers me is the stupid new vocabulary. One of the worst examples: "number sentence". It means what you, an adult, might guess it does (well, it means one of the things you might guess it means) but why use it at all? They introduce it before the kids have a decent idea of what a normal sentence (what, a "word sentence", I suppose?) is. Many of the symbols in them aren't numbers (+, -, =). They don't really act like sentences or serve the same purpose. It's misleading as hell and the kids don't even have the context that might, even hypothetically, make it useful for scaffolding, when they introduce it in kindergarten.

They do this for lots of stuff. There's a whole Common Core Math jargon the motivation for which I just can't grasp.

Also, much of the approach is effectively what you do with kids who are struggling in math—you shower them with techniques and explanations for the same thing, hoping one will stick. The "show 5 different ways how you could have solved this" worksheets drive gifted kids, at least, batty, and that's most of the work. "I fucking solved it, I've already shown you a hundred times I understand this other technique (which I'll never use because I also know several better ones), why are you still bothering me?" They'll have them do two problems with all that extra stuff, in the time and space the kids could have practiced ten problems. It's making my kids hate math in early elementary. Wonderful. Just wonderful.

[EDIT] To illustrate by example why I find "number sentence" in particular so deeply stupid: would anyone think a good approach to introducing sentences to very young children, in language classes, might be to label them "word equations" or "word formulas" or "word algorithms" or anything like that? Would anyone think that would be an improvement? God no, it's plainly a bad idea—but that's exactly what someone, somewhere, decided to do, in reverse.
In my mind, the value in a created work is that it is communication between humans. I have zero interest in AI generated art, however superior, because there's no soul driving it. AI will never be able to feel the way we feel; it's output will always lack this important component.

I went from being extremely lazy and failing classes to working 10-12 hrs every day, getting a 3.65 avg in college engineering, and enjoying it. Mostly I got the habit of starting everything immediately and then doing it in chunks and finishing early. If I had a 10 page paper due in 30 days I would make the document day 1, day 2 I would make the outline (lets say its 10 sections), day 3 id do section 1's rough draft, day 4 id do 2's, etc. So by the 12th day I would have a rough draft of the whole paper, which I would polish for 2 more days, getting the paper done in 14 days and only working on it for like 15 mins a day. Peak stress is super low, whole process is super rewarding, and it takes much less willpower because starting immediately became my habit, and habits give willpower discounts on whatever you're doing. The higher ratio of reward to stress made my primitive parts of my brain start to actually like work and see it as progress. Before, I would wait until day 25 to start, freak out, and work like 3 hrs a day on it until the final day when I would work 8. Super stressful and made me hate work and produce lower quality work. Put hand on stove, hand burns, brain hates stove.

I tried many techniques for like 15 years because my procrastination and laziness were the bane of my existence. Nothing worked except this. Some stuff worked temporarily but nothing was a fix like this. It took some time for my brain to adjust but it worked wonders.

Summary:
Start everything immediately and finish early
Space things out to avoid high peak stress if possible
>Europe outsourced

Europe also outsourced the security of the entire continent to the United States.
Apologies if you find my rhetoric to be like that and I will attempt to speak with more clarity in the future. I would never assume that LGBT people are groomers. My reading of the OP's statement didn't explicitly limit the field to adults. Maybe on this topic, I am skewed by my personal experience. I have several friends who were raped by family members and that trauma has seriously scarred them. The number is high enough for me not to trust others engaging in pro-incest rhetoric as I know exactly zero people engaged in consensual incest. One might say that is because it is taboo to talk about... I don't have a good response to that. I imagine that our actual views on this topic are more in line than what is appearing in this thread. I do not have any issue with consenting adults of sound mind engaging in victimless activities of their choosing. This does get muddied by issue of pregnancy though.
A decade is being kind of generous. But your comment is spot on.

Yeah, from that perspective the author is just wrong. I posted this the last time HN discussed this article, https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=33957643, but despite the author saying "No American, or any Western media outlet for that matter, bothered to cover this speech", I first read about it on an article on the front page of the NY Times website.

Trade generally? Sure, but we have centuries of wars happening despite international trade so it's obviously not the sort of panacea people make it out to be. McDonalds specifically making countries think twice about war? Please. Shitty burgers are not that important.

I do think using something like Flatbuffers or CapnProto where the SerDe is removed (aside from the travel over the network) could be a huge win. Another thing I have always wanted to try is to develop a system using microservices with a RPC layer that uses immutable objects so you can later combine the services and convert RPCs to function calls.
I apologize for not reading those papers first, but I don't see how this is possible. With miniLEDs you have a small area of the screen which has a single backlight - if half of that area is 100% white and half 100% black, you'll need the backlight 100% on.

How can that black be as black as in the neighboring area where the backlight is off?

Yep. Here's a recipe that'll get you a buttload of plugins every time: a WooCommerce site with coupons and physically shipped goods, mixed with article content, built and managed by an M&A agency, on budget hosting.

Akismet, WordFence or iThemes "Security", Contact Form 7 (and its extensions), WooCommerce (and its pile of extensions), one (or more!) page builders, WP Super Cache, Yoast (and related), a sidebar widget, a chat widget, a Google Tag Manager widget, social media plugins...

The M&A approach to WP development is often, "it's broken, let's see if we can fix it by installing a plugin..."

For sure I read it. In fact, he defines On-Demand Learning as follows in that article:

"The second category is "on-demand learning", this is the act of acquiring knowledge when the situation demands it, not sooner nor later. "

Which seems to be the sort of learning he aspires to. Learn it when the situation demands it, not sooner nor later. Not-withstanding a definition of the term on-demand learning that conflicts with other definitions of that term.
> Putting it bluntly, on-demand learning is excellent for learning tools, but it sucks at learning concepts.

This looks a false dichotomy to me. Concepts can be learned on demand as well. Talk to any professors in a theoretical STEM field (I assume their learning is as conceptual as one can get), be it maths, physics, stats, CS, or something, they would advise their grad students not to spend too much time reading through the tombs before starting research. Instead, they would ask their students to learn the concepts along the way when doing research. Of course, one needs to have solid foundation to learn concepts quickly along the way, but it does not conflict with the effectiveness of learning on demand.

What matters is what to learn on-demand and how.

Heh, a new version of the Chinese Room problem.
Then choose companies that offer that, you can sign a long contract. Or avoid companies that are rapidly growing. Why should you force your preference on everyone else?
The article agrees with you that, for learning tools, "on-demand" or "just-in-time" learning is advantageous. This applies for the things that you point out as being commonly cobbled together. However, for learning whole concepts like "AI" or "cloud development," these things are rarely cobbled together and require one to learn how to think through a whole new lens. The concept is larger than any one tool, and the idea is that thinking more broadly will be advantageous in the long run
> On the other hand, there are many support systems from women, from women-only workshops, places, scolarships, sponsorships, to shelters, support groups and treating mental healt issues way differently than with men.

Those do not spawn out of thin air. Groups of people built them. In my region, there are many such projects and when you dig into their origin it's often women who struggled 20 years ago who then landed on their feet and decided to create support networks where there was none.

Nothing is stopping you or your community from doing the same, except strict social gender roles which can and have been broken before.

I couldn't disagree more.

My mental sanity depends on some fixed beliefs. One of those is that every key sequence not involving the Win key is sent to and handled by the application in focus. Including F-keys, which many applications expect, in any case. Ex: F2=edit cell, F9=recalculate in Excel.

Global actions handled by the SO or DE must involve Win. Ex: Win+L lock screen.

And yes, Redmond-imposed Alt-Tab is an abomination: it should have been Win+Tab since the beginning.

The workflow you're proposing could be easily achieved with Win+ a carefully chosen letter. Benefits: 1. the letter is easier to remember; 2. You have 20-something free slots instead of 12 (excluding the ones that are already taken for standard actions like L for lock); 3. Most probably your fingers are already there and you have muscles memory of where the letters are; 4. Consistent, expected behavior of where keys are sent to.
