Question: In a treatment trial, if a placebo is said to be say 15% effective, and the real treatment is say 20% effective, of that 20% what amount is attributed to the placebo effect? That is, yes they took a legit med, and yes they got a positive result. However, that doesn't necessarily mean the result was from the meds. At that point, it's still correlation.

The meds could have been ineffective, but the placebo effect was the true source of the positive result. That is, given the placebo effect how do they sort out correlation from causation?

The biggest foot gun and most complicated part IMHO is networking.

It is a blackbox with many competing implementations and each implementation even differing in implementation details within it's own versions.

In theory, it seems reasonable to say that K8s networking is an implemention detail which you shouldn't bother about but in practice, it's going to bite you because of some misconfigured component somewhere someday and you would have no idea what to make of thousands of iptable rules or BGP routes or even least inspectable eBPF mini programs.

>there is a compatibility layer, performance isn't stellar but if the alternative is your game doesn't run at all, you can take the hit

They don't make many games these days, but Valve tends to be a studio that prides itself on performance. It can very much be "this game runs well or we don't use that platform at all" for them, compared to other AAA studios happy to take the PR hit for a quick buck.

Isambard is special because he was prolific, had an impressive name and that one particularly photogenic moment. I like to think of him as a sort of everyman for engineers.

So much of a society is designed by engineers - all the important parts really - it seems probable that there are a lot of amazing people who the history books just don't record. The list of great engineering names is short vs. the list of great engineering marvels. Similarly to how is is easy enough to find histories of people who caused massive great wars (Alexander the so-called Great springs to mind) but histories of places that had centuries of prosperity tend to not penetrate the public consciousness. It is all too complex and there are usually greasy capitalists involved instead of respectable axe-murdering generals.

Anyway, thanks Isambard for representing something important in the history books.

During the 1960s and 1970s, patients at a small Sydney private hospital called Chelmsford were subjected to a treatment known as deep-sleep therapy.

Patients were kept in a comatose state for days or weeks by massive doses of barbiturates. They lay naked on beds and were fed through tubes and were sometimes administered convulsive electrical shock treatment while in a coma.

The treatment’s major proponent, Dr Harry Bailey, claimed deep-sleep therapy cured depressive illnesses and compulsive behavior such as drug and alcohol addiction.

That’s backwards.

Training a model on more data improves generalization not memorization.

To store more information in the same number of parameters requires the commonality between examples to be encoded.

In contrast, the less data trained on, especially if repeated, lets the network learn to provide good answers for that limited set without generalizing. I.e. memorizing.

——

It’s the same as with people. The more variations people see of something, the more likely they intuit the underlying pattern.

The fewer examples, the more likely they just pattern match.
My experience, from memory; a few of the details might be wrong (e.g. it probably wasn't Redis, but it was some kind of datastore) but the basic experience is what happened:

Q: Why does my webapp run on most of our tomcats but not this one?

A: That tomcat server has the redis client libraries on the classpath, so Spring Boot automatically started up a connection pool connecting to localhost on the default port, and automatically includes that in the healthcheck endpoint. Since redis isn't actually running there, it fails to connect, so the healthcheck always fails and the app never shows as running, even though your code is working fine.

Q: How do I turn that off?

A: Upgrade to the next version of Spring boot and then add this undocumented annotation to your configuration

Q: How was I supposed to figure any of that out?

A: Hahaha fuck you

Spring proper is fine, useful even. Spring boot is an absolute nightmare of COME FROM style incomprehensibility.
I see that Postgres also has a binary JSON format, and also is called JSONB (https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/datatype-json.html), although I don't see any specification for the details. I supposed these are unrelated. Too bad people couldn't agree on a standard.

I realize in these cases, it's mainly for internal DB use, it would seem useful to have a widely use standard. (I'm aware there are many other attempts like BSON, etc).

If the harm is so great to all of society, then surely all of society would ensure that no one ever has to even think about cutting any treatments short.

Or, even if it's just the knowledgeable and responsible medical profession who knows how important that is, then surely that same knowledgeable and responsible medical profession would ensure that no one ever has to think about doing something they claim to care so much about avoiding. Right?

The bible states they were from the island of Crete (Caphtor) and my understanding is there is also archaeological evidence (pottery etc) that suggests they were a Minoan (Indo/European) people in origin.

For years, I've dreamed of a gadget that would interrupt me, but only do so once my brain's activity levels have reached an adequate threshold of meditation, relaxation, or even contentment.

The gadget of my dreams would then disrupt those relatively unmonetizable states of mind, which I tend to drift into from time-to-time, and with a much more profitable and optimized state of alertness using a variety of well-developed innovations and software tricks such as haptics, electromagnetism, or sound, at a liminal or subliminal threshold.

It matters not as long as the job gets done in the end. As long as the conversion has taken place, and that the signal-to-conversion ratio is well within parameters.

I'll then rest easy, knowing that I'm helping others. I'm saving jobs. Saving lives. Saving shareholders. Priceless.

Innovations such as this bring me one step closer to my own self-actualization. God bless innovation.

Yes, and...

Poor people buy goods, driving a productive economy. Rich people buy financial vehicles. Yeah yeah yeah liquidity makes it easier for businesses to raise capital... tired old bollocks. However seductive the reasoning may sound, it's turned out to be bullshit every time it's tried. If the financial sector is the most profitable part of your economy, you've got it precisely the wrong way round.

Predicating your economy on appeasing the rich is like putting accountants in charge of a company - the headline numbers look good for two years, then it dawns on you that you don't have any products to sell.

You get a more vigorous economy when the poor people can take part, because while they may not spend much, there's a lot of them.
It is a little more complicated because a request is few layers deep. In HTTP2 you open a connection, start a stream, then send a request over that stream.

Are you tracking per connection? Per stream? Isn't it normal for multiple requests to happen quite quickly? I load a single page with 50 external assets, those get multiplexed over the current stream - is that okay? Is that abusive? The other stream is handling a video player and its requesting (http2) frames of video data - too much? Too fast?
John didn't own the company. He wasn't CEO either. He may not have had the clout to override the investors who would call shots such as that. And unlike every other VR software company circa 2011, Oculus made a LOT of money for its investors, mostly by being Apple-like with its restrictions.

Your "claim" is actually a prediction, and I would bet against it with a less-vague definition of "big" and a long enough time period. It's certainly not a fact, which is how you present it.
Going faster by duplicating code
TL;DR: If you copy paste the same implementation code in different branches, you give the compiler opportunities to generate faster code for each case it wouldn't have otherwise generated, without you having to do any manual optimization work.

Very much this. Having authentication tied to hardware you don't control is a near-certain denial of service in the future.

People love to hate on passwords but the reality is that for many circumstances (threat models) they are the best compromise. You can make them more than strong enough (take 32+ bytes out of /dev/random and encode however you like, nobody will ever brute force that in this universe) and various passwords managers solve the problem of re-use (never reuse a password).

And it comes with the benefit that you control how it is stored and can apply as much redundancy as you want to feel comfortable.

I am the founder of an AI company based in NYC. We have never raised any funds and currently have over 5000 business/freelancer using our platform. We have recently started our pre-seed fundraising efforts, but we lack connections within the ecosystem.

What should be my next step?

Should i cold email bunch of firms?

Also, I want to become a part of the founder community and learn from those who have successfully raised funds before. If you have any experience with fundraising, please comment or message me. Would love to DoorDash coffee and donuts haha

No such tax can be effectively charged as part of an electricity bill, at least not for areas with enough insolation to have encouraged people to have their own PV arrays for charging.

This isn't ass-kissing, this is me being a pedantic asshole so I can untangle your argument and refute the idea that people "lose access" to their game. I'm not fond of DRM when Apple or Steam does it, but the way Valve depreciated CS:GO is borderline unimpeachable.

- Everyone with auto-updating enabled got the new game installed by-default. Nobody lost access to anything but official game servers.

- The old game has support for third-party servers on every point release, leaving it perfectly playable today.

- Bonus points: A copy of the game's source code was leaked, enabling the community to unofficially support new systems if they want.

Mac users got the short end of the stick, but I find it hard to demonize Valve over it. The root of this entire complaint is that an auto-update didn't behave as it should.

Feel free to hate on whoever you want. I've heard a lot of people say that CS2 is bad on it's own merits, and that's fine too. I just don't think auto-updating to a broken build is some vast betrayal of confidence or anticonsumer row. It mostly feels like an example of how MacOS and it's users are getting left behind over petty business issues.
You say that, but patents traditionally hold back progress. If you look at the amount of horse power generated by steam engines - it spiked after the patents expired.

There are probably many techniques and processes that would be tried and developed if it wasn't locked up by patents.
Having deleted a bunch of online accounts a year ago, a lot of companies used OneTrust and their privacy policy would typically specify for California residents but the process varied pretty widely.

Some of the data deletion requests would ask "Are you a California resident (yes/no)" while some would ask for a California address, and some wouldn't ask at all.

One of the companies had a support person respond back to my request when I had answered no to being a California resident strongly implying I should resubmit my request with it marked yes which I ended up doing and it resolved smoothly.

I imagine companies that mainly make their money from the data would be a lot more strict on it though.
It's actually sad and rather weird at the same time. The Japanese motor industry has been caught completely flat footed in the future car stakes - despite arguably starting ahead of the pack with the Leaf, Prius etc - and now spends its time desperately trying to make various random techs 'sexy' as they scramble to catch up.

If they spent half this time making cool EVs, or delivering great battery improvements, they could be back in the game. Instead of letting China dominate more with each passing month. So strange.

> I supposed these are unrelated.

Correct. Same name, different implementations.

> Too bad people couldn't agree on a standard.

This is a case of making internal optimizations for performance and space, and standards always have fluff which is not relevant for certain use cases. Like Postgres's, this implementation is very specifically fine-tuned to the target's internals. That level of optimization wouldn't be possible with a one-size-fits-all standard (e.g. RFC-8259 JSON).
