"Play is the work of the child" - Dr Maria Montessori
Not OP but I deal with this a lot. In my experience a lot of folks working in mainstream ML haven't been exposed to it unless they specifically focused on it. It might just be a course load thing... getting the most out of these probabilistic PLs requires fairly deep expertise in both probability theory/Bayesian stats as well as in CS and you have a finite amount of courses you can take in school. Plus, a lot of the work in this area pre-dates the modern focus on deep learning or machine learning in general, so a lot of the knowledge tends to be held by professors/researchers that may not be as involved with the "new" ML courses. And of course, Math/Stats/CS departments don't always play nicely with each other and like to fight turf wars, though I've noticed cross-disciplinary research among the three becoming more accepted at the universities/institutes I work with.

As a case study, I did most of my grad work on solving Bayesian inverse problems using probabilistic programming for applications in engineering, which is pretty cross-disciplinary. I now work mostly in ML, but I didn't really even touch anything in the ML domain until after I finished school. I could have, the courses were available, but they just weren't relevant to me at the time.

Edit: I wouldn't be surprised if there was a considerable userbase in industries like finance, but in my experience those folks don't share much.

Another week, another heated climate controversy where, as a change, scientists manage to portray themselves in a not exactly positive light to the public (to say the least). Did you read last week's apocalyptic headlines? Things like "48°C temperatures incoming"? Well, they were quite exaggerated, actually, considerably so.

Well, Las Vegas, Nevada, USA, population ~650k is this minute at 42C air temperature and still going up to 44C today. "48C incoming" doesn't seem like such a stretch.

Not according to climate scientists. As explained here, mostly believe the warming stop shortly after emissions do:

More importantly, the sooner we can stop carbon emissions the less severe warming and ecosystem harm we'll experience. Carbon capture may help a bit if we are able to massively scale it up, but there really is not substitute for ending emissions.

You can always request this data directly from the SEC or the FEC for the raw reports. In my experience, the regulation is does not provide enough transparency. The three main issues I can think of right now are the following:

- Citizen's United. No need to elaborate.

- It is incredibly hard to marry lobbying and fundraising data. The company names are not the cleanest.

- Extent of enforced disclosure in the Lobbying Disclosure Act: lobbyists do not need to say which bill they are trying to influence, or which official (political or bureacratic) they are trying to influence / contact.

Both acts have tiny loopholes. I don't remember the exact quantities, but if you're donating an amount smaller than X to a politician, it does not need to be reported. And if less than Y% of your time is spent attempting to influence politicians / government agents, you don't need to report this.
I don't think the parent is disputing whether tesla sucks or not, he's saying that the article is poorly written. It's titled "Tesla's Dieselgate", but it doesn't address that specific point until 2/3rds into the article. If the article was titled something like "Why Tesla Sucks", this would be forgivable, but there's no need to preface every anti-tesla article with a lengthy preamble about all the existing reasons why tesla sucks.
To make the 80's TV more authentic, is there an option to change channels via a pair of vice-grips that are permanently attached to the stub where the missing/broken channel knob should be? Because that's how I experienced it.

TC39 (the JS standards body) and WHATWG (the web standards body) have been ping-ponging this back and forth between one another.

I believe WHATWG is being favored so Observables will have a "killer app" (events) and could hence be built into the platform. As I recall, there was friction in TC39 to the effect of "RxJS exists. Why bother specifying this in the language?"
It's fair to note that the NPR piece discusses more of the timeline and impacts than of the measurements and prediction basis of the paper.

If you discover evidence of wrongdoing, then you are ethically obliged to act on it regardless of any other contract. We have whistle blower laws for this reason.

Even if the wrongdoing is not a criminal matter, if you discover a reason that someone can be sued, then you have an obligation to inform those who could sue and act as a witness for them in court. The only exception to this is if you are the lawyer for the party you discover the data - and then you have an obligation to inform them they can be sued so here is how to fix the problem in good faith (good faith meaning if it is discovered you as a lawyer will argue that when the problem was discovered they fixed it, and thus court should dismiss the problem as an honest mistake that was corrected - the courts should in turn if not dismiss the case at least award minimal damages)

The above needs to take precedence over all contracts.
What would be the advice for Canadians who want to start a company, but are unable to do so because they are on a TN/H1B?

As I see it my only options are:

a) Move back to Canada, start company there. Does this impede getting VC funding? Can I somehow move back to the US if my company becomes successful?

b) Wait until I get a greencard.

Further question:

c) Is it better to go TN->PERM or TN->H1B->PERM, what are the drawbacks of the first option?

This is absolutely true, but the problem is that we are oversaturated with time-wasters that prevent that kind of deep, creativity-breeding boredom. There's always another phone game, another show, more social media -- and these things were specially designed to hold your attention and prevent you from being "good bored". South Park nailed it with their discussion about how the problem with doing pot as a kid is that it makes you OK with being bored. Well, now we have millions of things like that.

This is perhaps a giveaway that you're not in the US, where WhatsApp is generally not something people use to communicate. (Anecdotally, I have seen it primarily used among people who have families outside the US.) FaceTime, on the other hand, is widely used here.

Ha! In the 80s I was the remote control. We had one of those TVs with rotary channel switch. And 7 year me had the important task of changing the channel whenever needed, and adjusting the antenna as well.
Yes you could put it that way. A sorting algorithm has very little impact on politics whereas say fingerprinting or encryption can be leveraged for political purposes.

DRM (and it’s hipster cousin “remote attestation”) stands out as being exceptionally political because it relies on the hardware to be controlled by a different actor than its owner and operator. Similar to “tamper-proof” physical objects, from the old days.
> Moreover, the 2019 Youth Risk Behavior Surveillance System survey revealed that during the previous year 18.8% of US high school students seriously considered attempting suicide, 15.7% made a suicide plan, 8.9% attempted suicide one or more times, and 2.5% made a suicide attempt requiring medical treatment.

Wait a minute, what?

Nearly 1 in 10 attempted suicide? So in a middle school of say 400 kids a kid would know almost 40 peers that tried to kill themselves? I wasnt in middle school in 2019 but this just doesnt seem right. Maybe im misunderstanding.

Edit: it says high school not middle school, but point stands

The "horror" is less about going to the chain restaurant, and more the derision you'd face from your peers at suggesting it. The logic goes "If you like shitty chain food, it's because you don't have good points of reference to compare against, because you haven't experienced a wide variety of cuisine, because you're poor".
The UK Met Office on this:

“As far as we’re concerned in the Met Office, the paper is far too simplistic,” said Richard Betts, the Head of the Climate Impacts at the Met Office Hadley Centre.

“On the basis of one paper, don’t despair.”

>Mastodon seems like the alternative if you really hate that kind of setup, but... it doesn't seem to have much traction.

People keep saying this as if the only "success" mastadon can have is by being in everyone's pocket. It's not an SV unicorn startup, it's not trying to buy out some investors. It's doing exactly what it is designed to do: be a user owned platform. Not everyone will want that all the time, and some people will never want that, and that's fine, not everyone spent 24/7 on the forums of the old web either.

We could stop considering "Everyone is using it all the time" as the desired end goal maybe?

WoW is an interesting example. I’m sure there are lessons to be learned in any activity; it’s not like structured playtime is giving you zero information to update your world model.

I suppose the question is whether the “learning density” is high or low, and diverse, in video games. I spent a lot of time on single player games as a kid and am open to the idea that MMOs give you more learning (particularly social, of course), but I do wonder how they compare with, say, team sports or running around the woods with your friends.
No, this seems like about the right time. The proposal is in very early stages and hasn't been accepted by any party yet.
A simple example is the media sharing quality is horrendous when you transcend the iPhone/Android boundary. Can you communicate, yes. Is it as good as an all iMessage interaction, no.

I don't mind if you do, and providing a link to the GitHub repos and docs already makes you 10x more useful than the marketing folks at Intel, but I (and others, I think) appreciate it if affiliated people acknowledge their relationship to the company in the posts.
It's paranoia. The pedophile panic of the last few decades led to nobody letting kids out of their sight.

Things like the sex offender registry "help" but don't at the same time. It's not something I ever concerned myself with ("I know the stats, it's usually a relative!") until someone encouraged me to do it while closing on a house.

I know nothing really of this worldcoin latest hype. I think that attesting that you have one, without revealing who you are, could maybe be used to attest that you are not a bot? Maybe I misunderstand. Sounds interesting if true tho.

Build formless forms with LLMs using Stack AI
1. Write an SQL query to retrieve entities. Join the multi-row relational tables to the primary entity using a JSON aggregation function. This ensures all related data remains on a single row.

2. Export the query results to a .csv file(s).

3. Utilize Go along with the encoding/csv package to process each CSV row. Construct an in-memory index mapping each entity ID to its byte offset within the CSV file.

4. Traverse the CSV again, using the index to quickly locate and read corresponding lines into in-memory structures. Convert the aggregated JSON columns to standard arrays or objects.

5. After comparing individual CSV rows, save the outcomes to a map. This map associates each entityID with metadata about columns that don't match.

6. Convert the mismatch map into JSON format for further processing or segmentation.

A friend entered the US on an ESTA last year. They ended up getting married to their US spouse while in the US, but had no intention of staying in the US and left on day 88 or so.

Does this hinder their chances of re-entering the US on an ESTA for short periods (i.e, in this case, visiting their in-laws)? As I understand it, you're not supposed to get married while on an ESTA, but the way the law reads is that you're not supposed to get married and try to convert it into a residence visa. Which isn't what happened here.
