AIC is an estimate of prediction error. I would caution against using it for selecting a model for the purpose of inference of e.g. population parameters from some dataset (without producing some additional justification that this is a sensible thing to do). Also, uncertainty quantification after data-dependent model selection can be tricky.

Best practice (as I understand it) is to fix the model ahead of time, before seeing the data, if possible (as in a randomized controlled trial of a new medicine, etc.).

I stuck with wmii for a really long time because it had kick ass 9p integration. I never got very good at she'll scripting my window manager, but man, what a divinely easy way of "programming" it was. The experience still sings to me.

It's such a different more awesome world: rather than APIs, we just expose data & let people futz with it. Giving up structure for operations is real allmagmatic magic.

(Sidenote, it's also such a sad sorry tell that Lua remains the one and only embedded language with real popular use. It's... fine. But limited libraries & they're not always easy to use inside embedded Lua. I feel like calling it "divisive" but the next best Sway/AwesomeWM/wmii is probably going to be wasm powered, is going to be supercharged by being better at pushing work out to plugins.)

I like to pretend that the city officials aren't just dumb and there's some sort of overarching method to their madness. Yeah, I did string together a bunch of stuff, but I like the idea of roving crackheads keeping people from leaving their fifteen minute cities and forcing them out of single family housing which is otherwise enormously popular.

All those commercial buildings downtown that have been emptied out will get converted into "safe" residential apartments and then the whole sunset and outlying areas can slowly get turned over to the roving crackheads attended to by legions of government employees with enormous pensions who make sure their open-air drug markets proceed in an orderly fashion while the normies get chased out of their nice single family houses into high security "sustainable" pods.

Imagine opening a computer software support business where you bring in your old proprietary binary programs that you got from who knows where, and the business is to fix bugs you've found.

Maybe some really big enterprises would pay for that sort of thing.

The background map they use though for this is definitely wishful thinking in my area. I clicked on points that looked to be near me and discovered that the census data used for those points has people living on a couple of roads that haven't been built and won't be built for at least two years if things go like they have on the other road construction projects within a few miles of me. Today the roads only exist on planning documents posted by the city.

Serious savings indeed when the Javascript cryptominer some ad network blithely serves up is ad-blocker'd, but we prefer synthetic benchmarks.

In seriousness, though, this is an issue. Elsewhere, I observe arguments about eg userbenchmark rankings, and the comparative relevance of single-core vs multicore performance. Are you playing a game, or rendering video 24/7 -- or running some entirely synthetic workload that allows for a peak performance the real world would never achieve? Same kinda problem.

This is good and interesting recipe to get Keycloak and Postgres on Kubernetes.

There is an important improvement, though: the Postgres deployed here is not production ready (high availability, backups, monitoring, etc).

We run Keycloak on StackGres [1] which gives us production-ready Postgres setup (disclaimer: it's dogfooding). Happy to share the YAML manifests used to deploy Keycloak with StackGres. Maybe we will write a blog post as a follow-up to this one, for completeness.

Without giving exact information I make more than double that as a senior engineer in NJ working remotely for a non-faang but still big public tech co with approx 10 years professional xp, but I have been writing code for much longer, just shy of 20 years.

Most ADHD meds do more than just increase dopamine. They at the least increase Norepinephrine too, and may mildly affect serotonin. Plus we still don't fully understand these meds so there may be other things they're doing, or there may be second order effects we don't understand yet. Saying ADHD is just a dopamine deficiency is extremely reductive.
For me the biggest causes are bread, pasta, and coffee.

There's "VC as gambling" and "VC as a science".

Most VCs are herd animals that gamble: they follow others and are afraid to lose out. But they never have the guts to bite first.

Conducting VC investment as a scientific/engineering discipline means thinking about systematically constructing 10x, 100x, 1000x wealth from the capital given, in a systematic way, and while minimizing risk. So your thoughts about rewarding everyone that is included in making a startup a success is a very good idea.

Co-cops sound leftist, but actually mean sharing risk and reward, so economically that makes sense. I had a related idea: imagine 10 entrepreneurs that trust each other, all involved in independent startups that do not compete with each other. They take a 5% stake in each other's business. Suddenly your assets as a founder include 10 stakes in 10 companies, which means you have an interest in the fact that not just you, but also your 9 trusted friends make it, and you will happily make your network available to them accordingly. Given that 9/10 startups fail (a cruel but true descriptive statistic), you will not even necessarily lose if your own startup does not make it.
If most would not give 5% of their own startup for another particular startup's 5% stake, this may also be a pretty good litmus test that the idea may be flawed.

Pooling risk is what insurances do as their business model. Startup entrepreneurs have not yet embraced this idea to self-organize in this way.
> But suppose you see a small child in a street crying because they're lost. Assuming we have an inner life, you can deduce the child is unhappy. What is the right thing to do in this circumstance, to help them or walk on by?

Right. However the part you can't deduce emperically is if its a good thing to reduce the suffering of the child.

Sounds simple enough because mainstream morality demands a specific answer. But consider the vegan version of this question - animals clearly are suffering in slaughterhouses, how can you justify just walking by? This is a lot less compelling to a lot of people and yet the argument seems pretty much identical to the child case in terms of pure logic.

All this is to say, i think at the very bottom it always comes down to: i believe what i believe because i believe it. Or to phrase it a certain way, i found an answer that satisfies me. I help the child because it gives me satisfication to reduce the amount of human suffering in the world.

I don't think it's 8 hour commutes so much. But that I could now take the 75-90 minute trip into the city that's about 50 miles away for dinner/show without thinking about it too much. I've really cut down on casually swinging into town to meet someone or do an activity on a weeknight because it's just a hassle to drive with all the traffic and driving back home when I'm probably getting a bit tired.

Of course, it still costs money and if everyone does that now maybe it's 2+ hours in a car each way and I still won't mostly do it.

I'd also routinely take the car into the city for a work event of some sort rather than dealing with non-trivial hassle of multi-modal driving to the train station and 2 different forms of public transit.

I drive a 1998 Jeep Grand Cherokee. I get asked if I'm interested in selling it at least once or twice a month, nowadays. The sightlines are amazing compared to modern cars, its AC is OP, and the AMC 4 liter straight six is one of the most durable car engines ever made. Mileage is not great, but it's paid for and dirt cheap to insure, that buys a lot of gas right there.
I'm curious if you can give a long form critique? I've never heard any complaints of it from folks using it "in anger."

I have heard a lot of complaints on it not doing as much. But I swear every time I've taken a dive on those complaints, it has been by folks that don't pay attention to the costs of what they are wanting. :(
Agree with all of these except the “pay little.” Top consulting firms are crazy expensive to the point we could hire a team of several analysts and a manager for a few years for what we pay them.

Engagements are often around $100k a month and when I go looking for one of the consultants to help in an emergency, I often hear they are busy with something else (another client) and need a day to get the request started. When we’re paying 100k a month you better damn well have one person on deck or able to pivot immediately to us as if they are one of our employees.
Let's assume there's no God, and Dawkins is merely pointing out that fact without offering an alternative. Then he's speaking the truth, and to me that's more important than any religion.

Having a car come pick me up and take me to/from work would be great, and with no human to pay would be cheaper than owning a car for that purpose. But the family car packed with backpacks, jackets, sports gear, etc is gonna make owning at least one car per family that can afford it a reality for a long time. But self driving taxis will revolutionize how we get places and get stuff delivered, and ultimately for the better.

Once again, backwards compatibility is the main name of the game.

Indeed, if Elm had emerged earlier that could have changed everything, but I'd wager that it is poor leadership and close-mindedness which really killed it off for good (Elm users will deny this, but as the world has moved on, Elm remains stagnant).

There is no shortage of complains about the devs uncanny protection of the core language and their opinionated approach to allowing interoperatbility with the JS ecosystem. Which is a shame because pragmatism always works out against dogma.

Imho, TS is just a crutch that helped JS to collapse from its own weight but still leaves many issues of FE development out in the open. In an alternative timeline, Elm would have been a path towards more harmoneous fullstack development which is more accepted by people coming from the BE side of things.
I switched to linux. I like it and haven't really had any issues to speak of. Not with sound, video, wifi or any of the other things people complain about. My fan went, but likely it was a pet fur issue, and easy to fix... I'm not an admin. I know how to use the command line, and how to use it as a work machine. Really my experience over the past 3 years, its been as trouble free as my Mac used to be. It really is the great development platform.

Glad you like your machine.
I'll risk a top-level comment without reading the article at all, not even clicking, with my first opinion-response: humans are _very cheap_, _mindbogglingly cheap_ if you were born in Cambodia or Gods Forbid a place even worse off (no offense to Cambodians, we're all _born somewhere_).

Before I even finished high-school I worked on a factory floor - via a temp agency no less - and was just like "why doesn't the machine also do that too, it's so dumb?". Went to a decent university and... understood. So. Much. Cheaper.

Now I'm life-settings further by a bunch and it still bothers me "Machines will free us all to be the best we humans can be!". No. For many reasons though!

Of all the places I comment online this is the only one where I'm routinely told I meant to say something other than what I said. I used to think I was just an unclear writer but it continues to only happen on HN.

Anyway I'm not anti-AA, I've been in it for years and am happy with it. I've also engaged extensively with what I perceive to be its limitations and constraints. I said what I meant to say and I meant what I said.

I meant humiliating. There are recovery programs that emphasize your courage and strength in confronting a highly stigmatized mental illness, that encourage reflection on the routine frailty of the human mind, its susceptibility to this sort of failure, the capriciousness of who falls into addiction and who doesn't. Does that sound like AA to you? AA encourages you to think of yourself as permanently faulty in an irreparable way and to choose your actions with that fault in mind. This is rather practical in preventing relapse, but it's not a resounding message of self-actualization.

The "confession of sins" in steps 5, 8, 9 are inevitably going to be experienced as shameful and yes, humiliating. This is effective! It's a powerful deterrent to that behavior in the future.

I meant exhausting. There is never a point in AA where you are cured, where you are free of AA, free of the burden of thinking of yourself as an alcoholic. Again this is very pragmatic: it reminds you that readdiction is always possible, it keeps you from letting your guard down even years into recovery. It also means the vigilance is eternal, exhausting.

Everyone who has grappled with addiction agrees that sobriety is a better way of life. But that doesn't mean AA is the only way to get to it, or the most pleasant among the options. "We thought we could find an easier, softer way." We could not, but some others can, and those who can will have an easier, softer time than we do in here.

Well, the gotcha is that they redefine the operations so that none of addition, subtraction, multiplication or division are total. Those operations just break in a different number than zero.
