> Funny how 'communism' can be both the ultimate evil (...)

I don't think you fully understand the issue you're trying to comment on. Not only is conflating a military organization with communism beyond wrong, but you're also completely oblivious to very basic aspects of human nature that are key to living fulfilling lives such as human rights and individual freedom.
Not to mention the fact the background was the complete opposite of a statistical witch hunt. The overlap between Letby and abnormal baby collapses and deaths and her strange behaviour around them had been noted by several colleagues, but hospital management stuck doggedly to the null hypothesis that it was just bad luck and resisted attempts to investigate even after moving her to other duties (at which point the unexpected baby collapses stopped)
gotta pay for all those illegals that jumped the fence last month. do yourself a favor and leave. let that state figure out how to keep all those bums alive without any tax revenue.
It comes on parchment paper and it’s easy to transfer. They sell it to you in Thailand to put on Buddha statues for good luck.
So, financial incentives as I said.

As for "being difficult", yeah, that's a huge culture problem of many Westerners. It's also a very nasty problem because everyone believes in it; I too had managers who literally told me to "stop being difficult" when all I did was asking, twice over the course of an entire month, about why aren't we given just a little more bandwidth to deal with a problem that slows down half the company.

But as we know, culture problems are extremely slow to be solved and that's why I don't blame people for coasting on salary and doing the bare minimum.

Tragedy of the commons, Prisoner's dilemma, Peter's principle, we can call it whatever, it's still very sad though.
At least you have talents. Imagine being in your 30s with a family to support and no real career future - bad reviews, bad organizations structure, shitty technology/systems, and no skills to move elsewhere.

Another useful example: You can go to a store and look at something, a couch or a table perhaps. Then go home and have a very good idea of whether or not this item would (1) fit in your space, or (2) match the room.

Of course the abilities such visualisations give a person are on a scale, but the point is that these abilities have a lot of real world applications beyond play, and they can make work and life a lot easier than those that can't perform them.
This reminded me of a strategy that Thomas Edison and Salvador Dalí utilized to facilitate creativity. They would sit in a chair while holding a metal object and allow themselves to fall asleep. Imagination and creativity flourished during the cross over from wakefulness into sleep; then, when they'd fallen asleep, the metal object would fall from their hands onto the floor waking them up and recording any useful creativity.

Sorry for shilling this podcast that I mentioned in another comment in this thread, but they do have very relevant information on this too:

https://rationalreminder.ca/podcast/220

This is an interview with two academic researchers into active fund managers who can indeed beat the market consistently sometimes. One factor why they exist is that they have access to better information than the average individual investor. However, (1) excess returns tend to mostly get absorbed by higher fees and (2) it's very difficult to scale it up, funds who beat the market tend to lose this edge when more funds go into them. Thus, market-beating funds, if they want to maintain their edge, have to severely limit who can invest in the fund and how much they can put into it.

The episode also goes into the effect of security selection (which stocks are picked) vs market timing, which is relevant to TFA.
at least in europe the taxes go to something beneficial like college and healthcare for everyone. in CA it just goes to feed bums and beaurecrats.
Why would you want to store the state in Git?

This means that if you have a CD pipeline (triggered itself by a commit) that does `terraform deploy`, you'd need to have your CD pipeline do commit _again_ to save the changes to the TF state files.

On top of that, you lose the ability to re-run a previous CD pipeline to rollback to a previous version of your infrastructure.

The goal of Git is just to store the lifecycle of a piece of software, imo. It's not the reponsibility of the repo to know the state of the deployment.
> given that the author’s own Objective-J language would have failed it.

Did the author mention Objective-J?

So, your "fact check" is "it is likely"?
You are right that it makes perfect business sense to not have indispensable people. At the same time, trying to make everyone inter-replaceable has never worked and never will.

It is important to recognize that some people are heavier hitters than others.

Their risk management goes too far is what I am saying. They should relax it a little bit and they'll get better results.
Yeah, that sounds like a very strange claim. There are some very decent/expensive private hospitals in Germany, Switzerland and I assume elsewhere..
I've played with voice cloners extensively and my view is that, except for very rare voices, they are repeated in different people - sometimes with the same intonation and prosody - even originating from different languages.

Imho we should move AI out of the realm of CS, very quickly. The information overload is getting too much.

Physicists would (I think) not be amused if their work literature became flooded with papers about the human psyche. Even if the underlying "hardware" is physics.
Ground beef is more palatable than whole beef because of fat. It’s mostly fat, like an 80% chuck. Meanwhile, even a fatty tenderloin is only 25-30% fat.

Potatoes are more interesting to consider than a head of broccoli though since they are one of the most satiating foods and it’s easier to ask why one food is satiating than why another is not.

This is extremely common with smart TVs of all sorts, and smart devices in general. Every 5ghz-capable Roku device is in the same boat, for example.

The 5ghz spectrum in the US is broken up into UNII 1, 2, 2 Extended, and 3, which all have their own separate FCC regulations and certification process. Lazy manufacturers for these types of devices don't want to go through more than one process, especially for UNII 2 and 2-Extended channels, which have stricter requirements. So they just do the lower channels.

My experience riding trains in Europe as a European is that everything is great when you're traveling domestically (bar the usual complaints from any commuter that exist but differ between any mode of transport) but once you take a train that crosses a border things really fall apart. Especially when it's not some commuter line.

That's one thing I wish the EU really did better - do more to integrate and de-federate the rail systems. There should be no major difference riding the rails in any state. Of course, this is a lofty goal since even within countries usually commuter transport is run by local companies and not even nationally interoperable.

The "Trust framework" that everybody is after: lightness of tit-for-tat with little overhead. With trust that actually can make The Internet a nice place again! Curation is indeed the problem discovered by HN practitioners such yourself. However, nobody in academia is working on this.

To a large extent they didn't have to involve statistics. There was plenty of better evidence in the Letby case.

However, the public perception around the time of the trial was substantially different. Especially early on, the media focused strongly on the fact that it "could not possibly be a coincidence". Reading the trial coverage I got a very strong feeling of déjà vu, seeing the coverage pretty much mirroring the Lucia de Berk case.

Considering the mountain of other evidence in the Letby case, I highly doubt it was a miscarriage of justice. But I definitely agree with the Statistical Society that just because something looks like a duck, it doesn't have to be a duck.
Yes that’s why we created this. For my previous company I couldn’t find anything I liked. I wanted something built with modern technologies and by people who care about design.

Nope, nothing I suggest is close to a monarchy; I'm very against such an anachronistic institution. You've gone out of your way to make a ton of ridiculous assumptions to build a worst case scenario here.

But, yes, religious oppression to a point is a good thing. At a minimum kids should not be allowed to be indoctrinated.

What you're really saying is that employers should be allowed to form a large powerful collective organization but employees shouldn't.

Isn't that a misuse of Git? I would consider Terraform state files to be artifacts, which means they have no place being tracked in a source control system. The natural way to use git to manage incremental deployments would be to use git history: given the tag/commit of the previous deployment, find the diff between the resources, and only deploy that diff. Or, put differently: the "previous state" is already recorded in git, under the earlier tag/commit, as the article notes.
Or famous people can maintain authoritative lists of things they have done and said. Something as simple as Imdb can do much in debunking fakery.

I'd say most of us do not have this kind of focus. He actually has two focuses: strategic focus and tactical focus. Strategic focus means that he devotes a good part of his life into building a virtual world and concentrates on rendering algorithms. Tactical focus means that he can work 10+ hours daily for every day for a large part of his life.

Most of us would be lucky to get a quarter of those two focuses.
It’s not just a nuclear family, but the nuclear family is still the foundation of the larger structure. Everyone is precisely situated in relation to durable marital bonds between two specific people. It’s not some free for all. Yeah, the cousins all play together and the aunties cook dinner together, but there’s no ambiguity or imprecision about who is married to whom.

Asian multi-generational family structures are often invoked to justify fatherless children raised “by the community,” etc., and it drives me nuts. There is nothing liberal about us—we have some of the most rigid marriage norms and gender roles around.
There is “right of publicity”.

If I’m right, if you take a photo of Leonardo DiCaprio you can’t just use it in a commercial to promote a product without his permission even though you own the copyright of the photo.

Nor can you place an actor in a movie without their permission - they did that with Crispin Glover in Back to the Future 2, he sued the studio and I believe won or the studio settled.
I am sure shareholders are demanding that in many places but they are demanding it from the people who provide no value themselves and who are perfectly positioned to inflate their importance and perceived value-add.

That's like asking the corrupt politicians to uproot corruption. Obviously it will never work.

So the shareholders get bulshitted exactly by the people who are very likely superfluous.

"Digital" doesn't mean anything more.

I live in Japan where Instax instant camera are super popular. Fujifilm makes more money off of making and selling Polaroid-style analog instant film than any single other business. The Impossible Project is cute and fun for hipsters but Instax has been there making film all along.

But they realized that young women today aren't happy how they look, and they want to use Instagram-style beauty filters on themselves, so they started selling Instax Bluetooth printers. They take analog instant film cartridges, but they use an LCD to imprint the photo onto them. So now you get the nostalgia of Polaroid photos, but you can edit your face as much as you want. Is this digital or analog?
SubscribeStar still features the golden one, an open neo-nazi, as one of their hand picked "success stories" on their frontpage, so I don't believe they really pivoted, if anything they expanded.
If a device is still pending approval by the RF spectrum regulator in a country, they're required to not use those channels by law. Software blocks mean that they can sell a device that's hardware capable before regulatory approval, and then unlock the functionality later. It allows them to ship the same hardware globally but comply with differing laws in different regions, and it's far from just google that does this. Every major wireless access point vendor, for example, will require you to identify the country in which you are operating and software lock which channels you are allowed to use, alongside other limitations like transmit power.
