Conscious poly relationships are a tiny minority and will probably always remain so. But i mean situations when women don't know that they are not alone. Tinder does it to them. It makes easy to find and "get" the best men. But there's a catch...

Plus, very frequently women get ahead of themselves imagining that they are in relationship while their men sees it as merely a sequence of gradually more and more effortless hookups.
This is the latest version I received for Christmas, just make sure your name isn't Helen:

Hi all, just wanted to take a minute to wish you a very merry Christmas and a happy year, most of all good health! These days people don't spend much time or thought on some personal words to their friends and family, they just copy and paste some random old shit and send it on. So after all we've been through together this year I want to thank you for your friendship and wish you a happy and fulfilling 2018 - you’re the best gymnastics group anyone could ask for. Best wishes, Helen xxx
>alphazero's loss function never changed

Yes, it did.

Alpha zero's loss function changes with every update. The loss function works on the actual outcome versus the predicted outcome, and the predicted outcome is a result of previous learning. So with every step it takes, which are random (and the initial weights are also random), it modifies it's own loss function for future walks in the space of weights. Rerun the entire training with different initial random weights, and look at the sequence of loss functions, and you will get a different sequence.

Probably the most important feature of hardware tokens is they can't be copied.

False.

I do go out on weekends and approach women. Respectfully. While having basic hygiene and grooming and tasteful clothing. And I'm financially autonomous. And I work out regularly. And have a social circle. I'm perfectly average looking.

All that gets me is friends. Loads of friends. Women who I share a conversation with and have a laugh with. Never any attraction or meeting up at a later date.

Don't speak confidently about subjects you know nothing about.
I feel the same way about any media: podcasts, TV, movies, etc.

The creator put in a lot of time and effort, so to not give it your full attention is a complete disservice. When I watch something, I want to hear every line and not miss any dialogue. When I read something, I want to absorb every sentence.

Can't wait to hear someone critiquing our "consumption-obsessed society" in an Amazon review of an economics audiobook they listened to at 6x speed on their morning commute.
I'd feel more confident using a dedicated GPS, if only for the fact it runs on AA batteries and you wouldn't get stuck with annoying smartphone behavior or apps crashing.

A Garmin GPSMap60 CSX for example is an excellent device, basically bulletproof. Just make sure you learn to use it in advance, have the proper maps (OSM) and don't get caught with coordinates in the wrong formats.

OSM is so detailed it's accurately displays mud tracks in remote areas of Vietnam. I thought "this can't possibly be right" but it certainly was.

Dedicated device is best, smartphone is a good backup.
Sure, the market is global though.

I always approach each conversation the same. I won’t interview until we discuss potential salary range. If it’s within a range I’d accept for the work, we interview. The argument I’ve made in negotiations is always similar - if you’re willing to pay X (regardless of location), it should matter more about what I can offer in return. If you’re penny pinching to try and cut that employee cost 10-20% have at it. I know my worth and can provide significant multiples over that. I guarantee I can provide the same level or more productivity as a remote engineer in New York as I do in the rural south.
> Where does your percieved need to produce less children come from?

Too stupid all the pro-children agitation. For example, why to produce less children and allow aborts? To stop human-caused crisises like global warming, plastic pollution, pollution of air. But why to produce more children and forbid aborts? To keep your nation rising, to keep traditional lifestyle, and to pay more taxes.

Any decent arguments lost in pro-children vs anti-children question?
I'd like to commend you for adding actual data here! Really helps the discussion :)
Do nice things for people you don't know and don't tell anyone about it.
FWIW, it takes way more than 1 second for the engines to spool up. And an engine not producing sufficient thrust would not doom the plane -- as long as the airplane makes it to V1 (decision speed), it should be able to fly with a single engine failure after that point. And the pilots should already have talked through the takeoff and come up with a go / no-go based on distance: "if we're after this point and we haven't reached V1, we'll abort".
Scientific studies. Not a blog post from a private company. There was a host of potential issues with their data due to sampling, questioning, etc.
It looks like they discussed it on the mailing-list years ago when it was being selected, but nothing since. Maybe they forgot about it? This is strange.

Every language community apparently craves “pain” in some aspect of their chosen golden hammer while simultaneously pointing fingers at other languages and their pain points. There is an element of masochism to programming that is often overlooked. (Sometimes this manifests as sadistic tendencies inflicting pain on the user.) Python is so painless at the source level that naturally the required pain had to be injected elsewhere. Of course no one can touch the JavaScript community as far as programming masochism is concerned.
>I'm not brahmin. I'm Vaishya.

I never said you were. I certainly wouldn't have imagined you were dalit with your attitude, but I wouldn't have put a bet on Brahmin either.

>It's not obvious what caste you're from. What is obvious is where in india you're from, what college you're from (indians care a TON about college rank),

I thought you were trying to emphasize just how NOT like the US Indian culture is? Going to Harvard is, y'know, kind of a big deal in the US too, even if the officer who just pulled you over can't tell at a glance.

>what cultural upbring you had. It's far more likely to get discriminated on that.

I mean, I'm no expert on India but I'd bet pretty good money that a lot of this parallels "acting white" in the US - which is often used as cover for the underlying prejudice.

And that fury you are exhibiting about "how I wouldn't know because I'm not one of them"... yeah, white Southern Americans have been like that to me too (I'm not American).

Prejudice and social hierarchy reinforcement is more of a human trait than a cultural one, and similar patterns are exhibited in different cultures.
And men die young than women. That leaves a surplus of lonely old women who form a harem for the male survivors in the old folks homes.
Seems to me, if you're choosing a route through Fangorn that's so overgrown, it requires a machete (!) to clear, you're about to get really, REALLY lost.

Ntroducing Puke 2 Earn: The Revolutionary Play-to-Earn NFT Collection
Are you ready for the ultimate NFT experience? Look no further than Puke 2 Earn, the revolutionary NFT collection featuring puking apes that offers a multitude of benefits.

First and foremost, Puke 2 Earn allows you to get your hands on an incredibly cool NFT on Ethereum, the largest NFT marketplace for buying and selling. But that's not all - you also have the opportunity to claim the same NFT on the brand new Sui blockchain, which boasts breakthrough technologies and a dedicated team and investors.

But the true game-changer is the Puke 2 Earn play-to-earn game, which will be launched on the Sui blockchain. As a NFT holder, you will have access to this one-of-a-kind game that allows you to play and earn using revolutionary cashflow mechanics.

And let's not forget about the rarity factor. The Puke 2 Earn collection contains 10,000 unique NFTs, with a select few having rare traits. Plus, the first mint will be on the Ethereum blockchain, providing even more opportunities for holders.

But don't just take our word for it - the recent test mint of 1,000 Puke 2 Earn NFTs on the BlueMove marketplace caused such a frenzy that it temporarily collapsed the Sui blockchain. Demand for these NFTs was through the roof, and they quickly became the most popular collection on the BlueMove marketplace with over 31,000 likes.

Holders of the test Puke 2 Earn NFTs also received White Lists for buying NFTs on Ethereum and had the chance to participate in WL giveaways on the Puke 2 Earn Twitter page.

The bottom line is that demand for Puke 2 Earn NFTs exceeds supply, so don't miss out on this opportunity to own a piece of the action. Hurry and get your hands on a puking ape NFT today!

> A man who is financially autonomous, practices basic hygiene and grooming, wears tasteful clothing, and approaches women with respect and manners has nothing to worry about.

The tasteful clothing can be even left out and I find your comment largely naive, but your point kind of stays true: if you're "normal" there's armies of women out there looking for relationships.

A suprising amount of 30+ year olds I know would spend most of their free time gaming or conducting isolated and unappealing lives.

And the biggest complain I hear from women is lack of maturity, masculinity and most of all mental health among men.
It's funny. They crippled extension usefulness in the name of "security", yet you can still make something like this that will steal every piece of your data and masquerade as your tabs while performing malicious behavior.

Very secure, indeed! But at least those pesky adblocks are defeated.
Business cycles in many industries can be 5-10 years, much longer than you are allowed to have people on temp contracts. Forcing companies to keep staff around they no longer need tends to make matters worse in the long run. I think the Danish model of combining a very flexible labour market with a great social safety net is better for all involved.
I get it, makes sense to want prevent grief by avoiding connection and love. And if you're meeting your needs in life, that's fine and all.

For sure. But in the 10+ years I worked on Office, I spent far more time per UB bug than logic bugs. 1 UB bug could take weeks to fix. I don’t recall any logic bug taking more than a few days.

Developer productivity would be much improved if logic bugs were the only class of bugs.
The smartphone is definitely better than equipment that an average person has no idea how to use, yes.

On the other hand, you need pre-downloaded maps that show trails and landmarks, as well as a general sense of the terrain and some basic preparedness.

The fact that they didn't even realize they were on the wrong trail shows an absolute failure to plan ahead and navigate correctly. That is really the larger problem - a 17 mile hike is not a light stroll through the woods. If I were doing such a trail (and I'm hardly a seasoned outdoors enthusiast) I would have pre and post hike arranged check-ins with emergency contacts, backup batteries, suitable clothes, 2 light meals worth of food and water, and a rough mental map of the area. None of these things are hard to do or require spending tons of money at sporting goods stores, they are just common sense.

Casual dating is single. Those women are still single, except in the rare cases of bigamy.
Though owners are generally expected to keep them, dogs predictably escape containment. Humans with allergies sneeze, which startles the dogs into barking. It's ridiculous. I'd be in favor of onsite doggy daycare, not in my working environment.
I think this article is somewhat of a relief to myself. It always felt like the majority of women I talked to casually mentioned they are in a relationship before my interest further peaked. At least it's not just thinking it's a coincidence that the majority that I talk to are taken, it's statistical lol.

I am highly skeptical that computer games and porn addictions are significant factors here. Sure they are problems that need to be solved, but I doubt it is a significant contribution to the problem.

I can see how social media might bias perception though. I guess pre-internet era you just had to compete against people in your local community when you were looking for a partner. Way harder now to standout in the world of Instagram / Tiktok where the trendiest people are likely in the top 10% of attractiveness (be it money, appearance, personality, etc).

True, but the spool up rate and thrust produced during spool up is all predictable.

Basically, I'm saying the plane should have an internal mathematical model of what it expects to happen, and anytime that sufficiently differs from reality, it should trigger an abort - especially if you're still on the ground at the time!

> It seems indeed rather futile to plant trees for carbon sequestration. Depends on the exact situation, but simply put trees are often almost carbon neutral and at a fairly smale timescale

I'd say this is losing the forest for the trees. An individual tree doesn't matter, what matters is a durable ecosystem. Say a square kilometer of denuded farmland is converted to forest. Thousands of tons of carbon will remain in the plants, animals, fungi, microorganisms and soil as long as the forest stands though the individuals will die. It could be there 10 years or 10,000 years, depends on how long the ecosystem is maintained.
AM5 boards aren't any cheaper than that. I'd say that Intel boards are generally cheaper in fact, though that has narrowed with Z790.

You do get to use the AMD boards for more than two CPU generations though.

> I've been struggling with performance issues on Ubuntu for months

I've run Ubuntu on various hardware and in VM's since 2006 running a wide variety of applications, there are no performance issues I've seen. Perhaps R is different to all other software I've run (which is a lot).
As ever in these studies, there's the claim that they've developed a reliable quanitative program for measuring human intelligence. This is tough - I mean, how do you put error bars on these measurements in a meaningful way?

> "Subjects were administered a comprehensive psychometric battery of fluid and crystallized intelligence tasks, including a figure series completion test of fluid intelligence (Kyllonen et al., 2019), the Law School Admissions Test Logical Reasoning Battery (Mackey et al., 2015), Shipley-2 Vocabulary (Winfield, 1953), and the Adult Decision-Making Competence battery (Bruine de Bruin et al., 2007, 2020), collectively composing up to 3 hours of psychometric measurement administered over two days. Previous work demonstrates a high degree of overlap and redundancy between the Adult Decision-Making Competence battery and other canonical measures of intelligence (Blacksmith et al., 2019; Bruine de Bruin et al., 2020; Missier et al., 2010; Román et al., 2019), providing further evidence that the battery provides a valid and reliable measure of general intelligence."

Well, maybe... I wonder if this will ever become a standard part of the hiring interview? It might be appropriate if everyone in the company had to take the test and publicly post the results, at least for internal viewing. "Line up for your fMRI imaging, please, before taking your battery of intelligence tests, everyone... this will be your primary determinant of promotion and compensation, by the way."

For background on the fMRI vs CPM debate, this seems to be what it's all about:

> "Recently, we have developed connectome-based predictive modeling (CPM) with built-in cross validation, a method for extracting and summarizing the most relevant features from brain connectivity data in order to construct predictive models. Using both resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) and task-based fMRI, we have shown that cognitive traits, such as fluid intelligence and sustained attention, can be successfully predicted in novel subjects using this method."

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5526681/

It might eliminate some of the social networking biases in hiring and promotion with their attendant issues, but it also is a bit GATTACA-ish.

Semi-related, check out Snipd for podcasts. As a former 2x podcast & audible listener, I prefer there style of consumption.

For popular podcasts you can review a list of snippets people saved.

It's not a standard economics answer, even economists (normal ones anyway) aren't going to fly on planes entirely unregulated in a purely free market.

Gradient descent and reinforcement learning work eventually, but they take a lot of iteration and spectacular failures. Different exploration/exploitation tradeoffs are needed in different environments, the market signal isn't really strong enough to differentiate and the incentives don't actually line up perfectly.

The standard economics answer is more like, the market (i.e. regs) evolved to address coordination problems and align the market incentives better with the true long-term welfare function.
