Yes you do have to work on your queries to keep them fast with growing complexity. Django also has a usable intermediate API to construct your queries, instead of writing raw SQL. Nice feature to have if you don't want to commit to a specific database yet.

And as already written above, a slow but correct page is preferable to a wrong page because you ORM is omitting related data.
I like how he talks about advertising as "surveillance and manipulation". Because that's what it is. People talk about ads providing a socially important service of product discovery, but there's nothing in the ad stack that optimizes for that. Instead, every layer of the stack optimizes for selling you as much stuff as possible.

So maybe our attempts at regulation shouldn't even start with AI. We should start by regulating the surveillance and manipulation that already exists. And if we as a society can't manage even that, then our chances of successfully regulating AI are pretty slim.
It’s literally the definition of hazing. But instead of being asked to jump in a pool, naked, while snowing, you are asked to build things a new hire has no business building. Then nit-picked for not knowing things. Literally set up for failure.

A better solution is to actually sit with them while they build a feature, show them around the code, and answer questions. You know, treat them like a team member instead of making them prove their mettle.
Yes, I think it is almost entirely because of Yakuza.
Agreed. It’s much easier to assimilate than in Germany I’d say. The ceiling or bias simply doesn’t exist in US whereas perhaps due to historical reasons it exists in Germany. From experience, Turkish are treated as “mainstream” in US than Germany.

This is cool. I notice it does not seem to come with any presets, or am I missing them? I was curious what the settings were for the examples on the landing page.

1. That's the point. It's not up to standard

2. They could but they usually don't. It's fine to sit down and make sure they understand some esoteric structure within a system I owj
I'm not going to sit down with someone else to make sure they use for each loops unless it's a very new junior (i wouldn't block that in most code reviews anyway unless the code was legitimately painful to read, but every company is different).

3. IME there may be multiple reviewers but one primary reviewer. Half the time the non-primary ones either focus on "is this code going to break your work flow?" or are simply there for bookkeeping and isn't the approval you're looking for (i.e. A lead on a review that already talked about the plans but doesn't have the knowledge to review that specific module). Anymore than 1 primary reviewer probably needed a smaller PR if possible.
What about Miami? I would not think a black/brown gay or trans person would feel uncomfortable there?

Or is it like the state politics? Like someone who loved Portland might hate eastern Oregon, but the state of Oregon as a majority is more progressive so it’s ok?

Personally I care far more about local politics/culture than state or national politics/culture and would rather be in a state opposed to my way of life, while in a city that isn’t, than vice versa. Though ideally both, but can’t always have it all.
Bribery exists in every economic system, even before economic systems existed, and is not uniquely connected to the free market. Nor are they connected to "unintended societal consequences", since bribes very clearly have a specific goal. So it doesn't make any sense.
1. Features on the box.

2. More pop on the store display.

It turns out that "fixing" these things do result in more people picking the TV. Just like an overstated display will typically be preferred in a side-by-side comparison.
he shouldn't have mentioned goatse, or told me not to google it. my curious brain took me to a rabbit hole where several times i wished i didnt have eyes.
This analogy doesn’t seem to add any explanatory power.

Corporations can’t magically know the optimal number of employees to maximize profits. And even if they could this will change over time. So we should expect them to cut when they have too many and hire when they have too few.
PR review is an async process, you can't expect your teammates to drop what they are working on in order to review a PR. This is something you can bring up in your stand-up or message channel if the PR has been sitting without a review then kindly ask "hey X, and Y can you give this a review today". Or if it actually is urgent then message someone directly and say it's urgent, and offer to hop on a call to go through the review together so the feedback can be immediate.

Actual priority items are always owned by the whole team, not an individual.
I have traveled between Amsterdam and London by Eurostar and by plane, and I don't see why anyone would take the train, considering that it takes much longer and also costs much more.

To put some numbers to this, if I were to travel to London on December 13th (a Wednesday), I'm looking at 120 euro for a five hour trip by train. Or I can fly for 76 euro and be there in an hour.

Oh, and the train also requires you to be there an hour early, so you don't get the advantage of showing up late either.
For what it's worth, I have never lived or worked in the Bay area.

Your point is still probably directionally accurate, just expanding "Bay area" to include all the hubs of technology- Austin, Seattle, NYC, Research Triangle... probably plenty of people have the same story as me while living in Boston, Denver, Washington DC.
This is promising as the future of modeling. Outperforming transformers doesn’t catch my eye because there is so much variation in performance based on size, training data, training method etc.

However the greater (5x) inference bandwidth makes this super appealing especially for democratizing AI and enabling the GPU poor. This could very well be a watershed moment for SSMs, similar to how Transformers boasted improvements to training and inference speed in 2019.
I didn't realize that accurately describing the 75-year-ongoing process of displacing people from their homes at gunpoint undermines 'western liberal capitalism'. Is that sort of thing an integral pillar of it, or something? Will I find it in the Wealth of Nations? Or, maybe, somewhere in Hobbes?

The criticisms are telling. None of them address the point, they just split hairs about who is and isn't 'native'[1].

[1] When a group of people moves into a land that is already lived in by another group, the first group are settlers, the second group are natives. That group might be settlers vis-a-vis[2] some other relationship in the distant past, but in the present day, they are natives. Just like if a billion people from Asia moved into the United States tomorrow, to displace Americans living in it into reservations, the current residents of Houston, NYC, Miami, etc, would be considered natives.

[2] Strangely enough, most proponents of 'western liberal capitalism' seem to understand this kind of concept when it comes to modern property rights (which tend to prohibit me from stealing land that an ancestor of its current owner stole centuries ago), but many of them become selectively blind to it when applied to on-going colonization.
Statistically illiterate people should not be making decisions. I'd take that as a signal to leave.

Move forward in the direction the dean and Facebook want, or in the direction the original team wanted to explore?

Because it doesn't seem - at all - that the two are equivalent. And it is not misleading to call out replacing a non-bribe-able PI with a susceptible or even already bribed one.
Have they replicated it widely though, and does their stuff work as seamlessly as Spotify's? Rather than look at hypotheticals about what others might offer, look at the present overall experience.
Now the discussion around HTML being a programming language gets really muddy.

I've been using Django as my main choice for web projects for over ten years. The reason I like it so much is because it comes with a lot of built-in features that one needs to ship web projects to production. For example, I was first attracted to Django because of its admin interface and its straightforward views and templating system.

Over the years, Django has kept up with changes in web development. An example of this is when database migrations, which used to be a separate project, were integrated into Django itself. The Django community is also strong with great ecosystem projects like DRF for APIs, Django Channels for real-time features, and social-auth for social sign-ins.

My recent use of Django is in (https://github.com/trypromptly/LLMStack). We use Django Channels for WebSocket support, DRF for APIs, and ReactJS for the frontend.

Anecdotally, the Julia approach certainly seems... nicer via e.g. KernelAbstractions etc. I don't know if the performance/flexibility is quite there vs. native CUDA, but going from zero to GPU kernel programming in Julia is as close to painless as I've ever seen, especially given how modular everything is (for example, you can use OffsetArrays.jl directly in GPU kernel code).
Hiding irrelevant YouTube search results (made a Chrome extension)
I made a Chrome Extension called "Hider" that hides distractions on YouTube.com:
- Irrelevant search results (People also watched, For You, Top News)
- Shorts
- Thumbnails
- Different layout elements (like the navigation bar)

Also added the ability to lock an element you want and click "toggle all" to hide everything else.

Peter Jackson added more motion blur in those because he said that it played better with a focus group. I think sticking to a normal 180-degree shutter angle would not feel so weird.

Yeah, and next time you're driving or in a car, take a look around in a traffic jam or at a red light. It's downright scary when you consider how many people are staring into their phones while operating several ton metal death machines.
Quite a few, actually.
The results are good …

> We successfully captured nuclear eDNA, verified by microsatellite genotyping, from 87.5% (21/24) of wild polar bear snow track samples, 59.1% (26/44) of wild Eurasian lynx snow track samples, and the single snow leopard sampled

Samples of snow tracks taken were not large, mostly <500ml up to just over 2100ml.

Snow is probably an ideal medium to store eDNA, and clear tracks would indicate freshness.

From reading the paper they were trying to show that collecting eDNA from snow tracks can work, rather than that classification of unknown random individuals can work from just sampling tracks.

> Snow tracks from one snow leopard were collected from Nordens Ark, Sweden in 2021 using fresh snow brought in from a nearby forest. Nasal mucus was collected from the same individual as a positive control.

The cat must have been quite confused as to why they dumped a bunch of snow in its pen!
What "muscle" did spotify add? Not sure the metaphor works. It's bloat from bad management and copying what other companies are doing.
Agreed hotels are far better for most types of trips. Everything is catered for and you're not taking away from local housing.

That said I've stayed in some really downtrodden "hotels" I'd booked on booking.com that looked OK in photos but were not up to scratch in reality.
Remember it. Its the very last time this bill will look anything like this.

Agree.

It's almost like there should be a station in every metropolitan area that is reserved for public access — divide the week up into 30-minute spots and let the public sign up for those slots to DJ.
My tattoo (half sleeve) is Japanese-inspired. I frequent a Japanese restaurant. My friend speaks Japanese and chats with the owners in their language. She noticed the Japanese design on my arm and asked, "is it Japanese? Can I see it?". I showed her and she let out a nervous laugh and said "looks like mafia. You know mafia?"

Damn, I felt awkward. But it's nothing more than an ode to jiu-jitsu.

Edit: OP, I just have to say, I would never get a tattoo that I wouldn't be able to hide with clothing. Hopefully it doesn't stunt your growth as a developer.
I'm sorry for coming across harsh. I tried to stick to commentary about your words, not you as a person. That's why I said "your comments are." I legitimately find your commenting here rather frustrating. It feels to me like you're posting zingers instead of trying to come to a mutual understanding.

I'll try one last time. I personally feel like this answer[1] very clearly refutes the criticism leveled in the top-level comment[2]. Specifically, the opening parts of the answer:

> It depends on the computational model you choose. It is obviously not true that two numbers can be added together in constant time regardless of their size. If you think about it in terms of the most elementary operations, those on individual bits, adding two n-bit numbers would require O(n) elementary operations. And multiplying two n-bit numbers would use O(n2) elementary operations if you do it using long multiplication. You can easily try this out for yourself using pen and paper.

> The problem with this viewpoint is that it makes analyzing algorithms very tedious. Any time we would add two numbers a and b we would have to figure out that they would have loga and logb bits respectively and that the addition would take O(loga+logb) time. This would make the analysis much more tedious, and result in running time with lots of logs in them.

And thus, by convention, big-O notation typically uses an `n` that is defined in terms of units of bits and not just bits themselves. This is why it can make sense to declare something O(1) even when it might actually be O(logn) where n is the number of bits in the input.

I put visible tattoos in the same class as branded clothing and bumper stickers— you either want passers by to see it as a part of “you” or you think so little of the medium that you’ll toss anything on.

In either case it says _something_ about you. I think most would agree that, on its own, it doesn’t say enough to make a judgment on you as a person.

But given that most people judge others within the first few minutes of meeting them it’s def a component.

I don’t know if companies that make it a policy to ignore, but I wouldn’t trust such a list. The world is full of firms that state “core values” that can only hope to approximate what the rank and file believe
Honestly thats not all that different than what exists in euclidian suburbs. You just have the offices/pubs/grocers on the arterial while housing is on residential blocks just off the arterial. I’ve always been able to walk to this sort of stuff even in lower density suburbs. Maybe I haven’t lived in the worst cases of them though.
Whoa I hadn't heard about this one. That's madness.
I didn't want podcasts, on the other hand I have a few friends who listen to podcasts exclusively on Spotify because they were already listening to music on it.

It might not be a good idea for you, or for me, but there's value on providing it. The churn from adding podcasts was probably low enough to make it worthwhile as a business.

Exclusive podcasts on the other hand seem to have backfired immensely.
Huh? Lots of people wanted podcasts in Spotify. Why wouldn't they? Podcasts are hugely popular.
It's usually out of scope by the time you're writing a CL, which is fine because there's design review. The issue is about priorities. Nitpicky code review can be very expensive, and I'm not convinced it brings noticeable benefit.

I've seen team-quarters wasted due to bad large-scale decisions. Sometimes the truth doesn't come out until the the real thing is in production, and all these extra burdens make it harder to change course. I think people are starting to get this because the amount of code nitpicking or caring about small things in general has gone way down.
Because they are good at stealing doesn't mean that people shouldn't try and stop them stealing or that it will be a good outcome for anyone if they successfully steal all the stuff.

> You didn't answer my question. Why should it be done at universities?

Let me try again. One of the reasons research is supposed to be done at universities is specifically to remove financial incentives. Tenure is meant to insulate academia from having to worry about financial incentives and what is popular so they can focus on what is true.

> Prob a lot easier and cheaper to capture a uni than sue some short seller.

Meta doesn't have to sue a short seller. All Meta has to do is point to the now extremely clear conflict of interest. Having such a strong conflict of interest makes it easy to cause doubt about the validity of the research. And that's good enough. Compare two following two headlines:

1. Prestigious research group at Harvard shows wrongdoing on Meta's part.

2. Opportunistic short sellers put out yet another hit piece against Meta for their own financial gain.

It's like going to get your nutritional advice from the small sample size and suspect studies put out by supplement companies. Obviously they won't publish findings that go against their financial interests, or even run the experiments in the first place.
Decent websites will at least make it toggleable.
But not in a C-compatible way, right? IIRC, you can't just take a good size C file, put a tiny bit of D in it and compile it with the D compiler, can you? Happy to be corrected.
I suspect people don't do that with radios anymore either but it spreads through word of mouth

At Facebook there is no OWNERS so if you make an API change you can just update all the code yourself at once.

AM radio is kinda like that now.

Air time on AM is cheap, like super cheap, so often people rent their own airtime and do shows. Nothing amazing, but it does happen quite often.
Go to the hotels website directly. Booking.com is terrible. They don’t even mediate any payments and simply pass all your CC details to the room provider. For a chain hotel, not great, but for some random B&B provider in another country - you might as well just hand your CC to scammers.

Awards panels are free to segment as much as they want. If JRE was actually broadcast on the radio, sure, but it’s not obviously… so it wouldn’t be eligible by normal definitions. It’s why NPR stuff is generally both a podcast and a radio program: it’s aired on the radio, and released in podcast format.
Conflating “genetic” to “race” is bizarre. Race in real life is based on a tiny subset of possible genetic differences, mostly focused on appearance. Down syndrome or other noticeable genetic mutations aren’t a race.
Are you in biomedical research? I feel like the answer is no, because if you were you'd understand how fast paced discovery is in biotech these days. Just because it's not a threat today (I agree, it isn't), doesn't mean it's not a threat in a 10 or 20 year horizon.
So, when is the right time?
Opposition to the sand-glassing of Gaza by Israel is not encouragement of harassment. Nor am I aware of any substantial number of students encouraging the harassment of Jewish students. A shocking number of student groups claimed something akin to "Israel brought [this attack] upon itself," which, while somewhere between tone deaf and despicable is also not encouraging harassment.

On the other hand, you do have legitimate harassment of the people who made these statements. [1]

The whole company is basically fraud so is anyone surprised?

The use dark patterns all over their website to their customers and pressure hotels in accepting lower rates or be defacto blacklisted. Another middleman we don't need nor want.
> What alternatives are people using?

Book online directly. The hotels hate OTAs (Online Travel Agents). You can typically find better terms direct on the hotel website (e.g. breakfast included or more flexible cancellation).

If you are in a financial position where you need to watch every penny, then take the extra time and effort to book by phone or email, because in some jurisdictions the hotels have rate-parity clause which means the hotels can't advertise a lower rate on their website than you can find on the OTA website. This probably mostly applies in North America, this sort of thing is likely illegal (or verging on ) in Europe so you're unlikely to get a better deal than a European hotel offers on its website already.

If you like the big US chain hotels (Hilton, Marriott etc.) and you travel reasonably frequently then pony up for an AMEX premium-tier card which gets you access to AMEX rates, and also some perks (e.g. premium WiFi for free, late-checkout etc.).
Uncertainty quantification is a neglected aspect of data science and especially machine learning. Practitioners do not always have the statistical background, and the ML crowd generally has a "predict first and asks questions later" mindset that precludes such niceties.

Yes I basically took verbatim what George Carlin said because it's one of the best points of view on "conspiracies" I've ever heard.

I don't understand how did you get the impression that I was trying to be funny? It's a fairly serious description of the reality we live in.
My mother (against my strong advice) booked something on booking.com for ~$6.5K and then couldn't find any evidence of in their "My Trips" interface. I advised her to call the credit card and file fraud. Instead, the customer support agent of the credit card gave her some 1-800 number for booking.com customer support (Booking.com doesn't offer 1-800 number) and when she called it, someone with strong Indian accent wound up resetting her google account and tried to take over her Gmail. Fortunately I made sure she was 2FAd there, so between her calling me panicking because her mail was blocked and us recovering it only took ~20 minutes.
The credit card company refunded her money, and the hotel she was trying to use gave her a great deal and she's out there right now skiing. So all is well. But never more booking.com for her I am pretty sure.
They killed any feelings of finishing it.
