From a statistical point of view, I agree that there is a lot of interesting and impactful work to be done on estimating predictive intervals, more in ML than in traditional statistical modeling.

I have more doubts when it comes to actions taken when considering properly estimated predictive intervals. Even I, who have a good knowledge of statistical modeling, after hearing "the median survival time for this disease is 5 years," do not stop to think that the median is calculated/estimated on an empirical distribution, so there are people who presumably die after 2 years, others after 8. Well, that depends on the variance.

But if I am so strongly drawn to a central estimate, is there any chance for others not so used to thinking about distributions?

Co-foundercheck
Are you looking for a co-founder? Because I am.

I was playing around with Custom GPTs and made one that helps you identify a perfect co-founder. It asks you 10 questions compiled by Y Combinator and then evaluates your compatibility with other potential co-founders. Best part? It has long-term memory, so you can answer questions once and then check your compatibility with others multiple times, anytime. I know it was more of a 'nerdy' part rather than 'best'. Anyway, check it out and let me know what you think!

Inspired by the Co-founder Matching platform by Catheryn Li and the team.
What alternative would you suggest as a path to clean energy?
Yes that's fair, however that's how our complex world works. E.g. we rely on journalism (the real kind) to uncover all kind of scummy behavior. Similar in the OSS world.

There is no way to easily verify that unless some trusted bodies do this for us and publish their work specifically for what you're using.

Now you just have been stating a problem and no solution.

I do agree with you though that "hey it's OSS and easy to verify because we have the code" is indeed lying to ourselves and especially tools with privileges like this (MITM your encrypted traffic) should not be taken that lightly and have the proper warnings, disclaimer and attention (to watch for bad behavior)
I never seriously considered using 23 and me. Not because of hackers, but rather what government would do with that information. I don't want to be responsible for some random relative getting charged with a crime just because I was curious about my family tree.
Is ubuntu not based on debian repos anymore? I remember when it was a debian unstable/latest(?) plus the “Ubuntu” part itself. Debian was a set of versions, from stable to “probably will break”, not a single “old” distro.

Anyway it always feels strange when someone claims X is slower/faster than Y, where X and Y are both ~the same kernel and the base system. As if debian maintainers didn’t know some secret “non_vanilla_run_faster: true” settings for the same kernel that was 30 years in development already. Most distros are just slightly different gui programs running on top of basically the same gnu/linux binaries.

You are arguing semantics. A filter is a filter is a filter. Apple applied filters to phone images. Your definition of "more realistic" might be on your Filter Positive List, but it is no less a filter than one that make skin whiter or breasts smaller.

>Yet 14,000 accounts were breached in one go?

That part isn't super surprising beyond the technical issue of the data usurpers probably not being metered or flagged for continuously logging into different accounts. They could have used a massively distributed network to pull all the data, but there probably simply wasn't the detection or protection.

Having said that, in logging into my account to verify how many relatives are shown to add this response, 23andme refused to let me login and demanded that I reset my password because of password reuse. I have always had a very strong password on this account, and it isn't reused anywhere. I even have 2FA on. So it seems that the company isn't entirely comfortable with the notion that it was reused passwords behind it...

However after resetting my password that I never reused anywhere, the DNA relatives panel shows 60 pages of relatives, with each having 25 relatives. So 1500 relatives could be pulled. Grabbing that for 14000 random accounts would be a pretty formidable network someone could build.

> My point is that I really don't believe that CI systems provide anything so unique that it couldn't be also provided by local software in a developer's laptop. If the question of "how do I build this in my laptop" is "you cannot, must use CI because we truly require some of its features", I'd consider that an ops failure.

So I do agree with this. But I think there's nuance here.

The job of producing a build artifact involves steps that broadly break down into two categories: setting up the context, and doing the build. I totally agree that the "doing the build" bit should be a series of simple steps that are agnostic of their environment. A shell script, or a Makefile - something you can just invoke anywhere.

But the context bit is also super-important. On my laptop, I've already got the (e.g.) right JDK installed so that when I run `make`, the build succeeds. But I'm also not wiping my laptop before every build. On a CI platform, you're effectively starting from scratch every time, so whilst you can go and write your own code to set up the caching, download the tooling etc. etc. there's an enormous amount of value to be gained by re-using the CI-platform's software and features to do that as easily as possible. No-one wants to be writing code that works out how to go set up the right JDK in the right place, when `actions/setup-java` will basically do all that for you.

In theory, yes, you could go and curate a container image that has everything you need and just run your build inside that, but now you've got two bits of software to manage.

If you can't run the build locally, then yes, you're in a pickle.
> A number got a lot paler after many generations in the more northern parts, others less pale, and those near the Mediterranean were neither ghost white nor midnight black.

IIRC the current theory is that genes responsible for white skin in Europe were initially introduced by farmers migrating from Anatolia and the middle east (white skin appearings somewhere there or closer to the Caucasus). They almost entirely replaced the indigenous much darker skin hunter gatherers in many areas of Europe,

North Africans. Who were most likely more "white" back then than now (Trans-Saharan slave trade which transported millions of people from Sub-Saharan Arica wasn't a thing back then).
I don’t think that’s true is it? Most of these things are handled in the model prompt and tuning and have no impact on efficiency

see above. for the code side, the oracle lawsuit comes to mind. gpl-violations notwithstanding

if something is on the internet, it's in the public domain. whether you like it or not, it will be copied, altered, remixed, shared. that's why the internet is so great.

anyways, the original point was the indiscriminate scraping, which again, is common practice.
I think "cover shooter mechanic" refers to ducking behind cover and a system for smoothly shooting from behind it like in Gears of War - or in Winback. This mechanic was not there in Wolfenstein 3D.
Interactively, it felt like they were slower than even a sun 3. I know this isn't scientific, but I never metered it.

Seymour Cray's CDC machines were fast computers, but IMHO those Cray Corp machines were essentially high performance vector units that happened also to be able to run a bit of control code. I guess it wasn't sexy enough to build a coprocessor, or maybe by then there was enough choice in mainframes that interconnect (which was far from standardized in those days) would have been a barrier.
Wolfenstein 3D is not a 3rd-person cover shooter. The dead giveaway is that it is 1st-person and that there are no things to take cover behind.
I had a TI Voyage 200 in highschool and wrote programs to solve whatever new problems were assigned and that's part of the reason I'm not very good at math.

Well, in reality tools like Tensorflow probability can help you model both aleatoric and epistemic uncertainty with probabilistic layers that have learnable priors and posteriors. The issue there is that for the average ML person might not have the required math skills to model the problem in these terms.

For instance, if you look at https://blog.tensorflow.org/2019/03/regression-with-probabil... until the case 4 it's easy to follow and digest, but if you look at the _Tabula rasa_ section I am pretty sure that such content isn't understandable by many. Where you get stuck because the ideas become too complex depends on your math skills.
Is LLM Vis built on top of this?
There are plenty of cases where DNA is found at the crime scene, run through a database, match is found with a relative. Then the cops start looking at the family and boom there's your shady uncle with priors they got their guy.
>If the goal was to kill Israelis, torture and humiliate them then yes it was a tremendous success.

Which I'd argue is the whole point of what they are doing. That and getting the world, well, not on their side exactly, but on not-Isreals-side. Which they are slowly getting. I'd call this a huge success (for them - not for the poor people, of course).
Just a note that this is true for "cathedrals" in the figurative sense as well as the literal sense that you seem to mean it - there are plenty of attractive historical buildings that weren't religious but still represented displays of prestige and power by governments or just individuals.

There's also heavy survivorship bias going on here. The Dickensian slums of London weren't worth preserving so were wiped away, whereas more impressive buildings were much more likely to be preserved. A naive assessment of historical buildings in London might be that the whole place was much more impressive than today, whereas it may be that, on average, the reverse is true.
And buy a compact camera.

To be honest. At the moment a device of any kind is left unattended accessible for others security is already violated. Ability for physical manipulation allows for literally everything - same status as harmful software.

Because I’m not paranoid enough I hope for the best and rely on the login and hardware encryption. Or here on a nickname :)

Anyway. It is a valid use case well handled by Apple and Google in the past. They designed the lock screen for this.
That's because of the vendors and not the OS. Easy to avoid by choosing a decent vendor, all my Android phones the last decade have been Motorola Moto G series because of Android one. No bloat, the only bundled app is to add functionality such as gestures for flashlight/camera and I love it.

Tbf the porn law was an attempt to standardize porn regulations so they applied to porn sold via the internet the same way they applied to porn sold via traditional formats (DVDs, magazines etc). But the parts of the existing regulations were archaic and horrendously out of date, such as not allowing "depictions of cunnilingus" and they tried to standardise first before updating. I'm sure there were some puritans involved, but for the most part it was a badly handled attempt to fix a loophole in regulations not an active campaign to 'Porn depicting cunnilingus is illegal'.
> Using airport codes as shorthand for their parent cities is an incredibly incredibly common convention. Well and truly established.

Yes, if you read how certain tags are actually intended/supposed to be used, you realize that semantic HTML is mostly nonsense. You can't extract a list of articles from a page by looking for `<article>` tags, because there are all sorts of other 'acceptable' uses, none of which any web developer in the wild actually knows, let alone applies rigorously.

It's just a bunch of rules that some ivory tower people made up, which have little to no correspondence to the much more useful questions of:

- what kind of information do people wish to extract from an HTML document?

- what kind of information does accessibility software need to extract from an HTML document?

- what does the typical structure of a web page in the wild look like?

- what kind of information cannot be inferred from natural context and requires annotations?

W3 standards are, on the whole, pretty much garbage. The parts that aren't garbage are the parts that were standardized in the wild, from things people were already doing spontaneously.

Also, the entire 'semantic html' movement was mostly a fad where people who never used a screenreader gushed about how much more accessible their HTML was because it used the morally pure, new, progressive HTML tags. It was masturbation.

Everyone acted like people actually care about the HTML for the webpages they visit, but the reality is, they don't. Not even web developers. Unless they are explicitly paid to satisfy some government accessibility guidelines.

I apologize if I interpreted wrongfully your reasoning. I did ask how a serif font is supposed to have the properties described, or why anybody should feel unwelcome by classical architecture, but without much answer IMO.
Here's an example I remember: if I want to update a field in a million records in my database, I can't just send the update command to the database to run. Instead, an ActiveRecord ORM will try and load all the records into the application, and for each record object make the change in memory, and then persist the record.

If I'm remembering correctly, that is a fundamentally poor approach. Instead of telling the database to do some work, the database is doing more work, and the application is doing work. One mitigation is to batch the work[0]. Another is to special-case updates[1], which bypasses all the ActiveRecord pre/post-save logic. In either case you aren't holding the tool wrong. The tool is wrong.

[0] https://apidock.com/rails/ActiveRecord/Batches/find_each - you'll note that the batches are "subject to race conditions" - i.e. each batch is its own transaction! And you're still loading the records into your application pointlessly. You're just limiting how many do it at once.

[1] https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/topics/db/queries/#upd... - note:

> Be aware that the update() method is converted directly to an SQL statement. It is a bulk operation for direct updates. It doesn’t run any save() methods on your models, or emit the pre_save or post_save signals (which are a consequence of calling save()), or honor the auto_now field option. If you want to save every item in a QuerySet and make sure that the save() method is called on each instance, you don’t need any special function to handle that. Loop over them and call save()

I’ve been doing development on AIX recently and the lack of such a cache has proven a real pain necessitating implementing our own disk scan and cache. Not knowing the path to an open file or process in constant time is terrible. If anyone here happens to be an expert on AIX and has suggestions please speak up!
> stale file handles... This is still a problem and I’m not sure how to fix it. I don’t understand how real NFS servers do this, maybe they just have a really big cache?

While some implementations probably cache things, most filesystems have an underlying file handle which allow opening the file directly (see name_to_handle_at(2)/open_by_handle_at(2) on linux, but other systems also have something similar it's just not necessarily exposed to userspace)

NFS servers can then just expose this along with some internal stuff (like export id for internal permissions checks etc)

This can lead to some interesting misfeature if a user can guess the handles -- on most filesystems it'll just be something like the inode number and some extra stuff that depending on the filesystem can be contiguously allocated, so +1 can work -- in that open by handle at won't check that the user has access to the full path: so a malign user could access some/subdir/file if file itself is open even if subdir isn't accessible.
Thanksfully most recent filesystems allocate inodes pseudo-randomly, so this won't work well for most people.

(In this particular case, you could have commit id + a big hash table with paths inside the repo? Most recently large repos would fit in memory for one single revision and layout doesn't change all that much between commits, so that could work fairly well a bit past linux kernel size. For humongous repos some more tricks might be needed though)

I have no idea what the list if for. IMO it is a mess and maybe even clickbait.
