MLMY: Machine Learning My Way – A List of Topics
I feel like a similar thing happens in "real life" sometimes, not just on websites. Back in high school, I used to volunteer at an animal shelter, and we had an area out back where we'd walk the dogs or let them run around in one of a few fenced in areas throughout the day so they could go to the bathroom and get some exercise. The door leading out here was located in one of the rooms with dog kennels, so people coming to potentially adopt a dog would walk through this room a lot, and often they'd try to walk out back and watch or participate with the volunteers and staff taking some of the dogs out. We'd ask them politely to go back inside because they aren't allowed out there and point out the very large sign in large font on the door saying this, and every time they'd always act very surprised because they claimed not to have seen it. I'm sure some people were just feigning ignorance because it seemed easier, but the sheer number of people claiming it makes it believable that at least _some_ of them genuinely didn't notice; they saw a door, they wanted to go through, and they opened it without processing the words right in front of their face.
I was reviewing my previous work - a website called Econometrics Navigator that provides some links to open source textbooks and blogs and felt I wanted to put together a list of topics in econometrics, machine learning and deep learning in a perspective. Can think of it as a review checklist or perhaps a (self) study guide. So far nothing beyond the titles, but will appreciate the comment on structure, additions or changes.

The answer is simple: C isn't going anywhere. Some programmers are satisfied with Rust, and let them enjoy themselves, for as we said, Rust is a great advance for systems programming. But many C programmers, in particular, are unsatisfied with its complexity, as are we, so we're building Xr0 for them (and us).
Cool concept. Not relevant to me in its current state being limited to skin care products, but would love to use something like this for things like supplements or other products where I otherwise have to sift through Amazon reviews & reddit threads.
> From the perspective of the MWI there is no spooky action.

There is a spooky world split that separates the entire universe instead of just having a spooky thing having to the particle. Some prefers having a small spooky thing over a large spooky thing.
It certainly is an example of the agency problem.

However the company itself doesn't want to allocate resources regardless of the actual cost.

Because regardless at your $/hr, a contract that protects the company in the same way and is understandable by the user takes MORE HOURS, than one that just protects the company and fuck the user.

Lots of these lawyers at companies with internal council could do this are a resource that is over utilized already. There's no room for more hours.
Really disappointed in the number of posters here who are playing down rushing to judgement and suggesting perhaps a legitimate developer was compromised, when it's very clear this is sophisticated and not the work of a single person.

I'm recalling bad memories of the Juniper backdoor years ago.

Whoever did this, was playing the long game. As the top post pointed out, there was an effort to get this into Fedora.... which eventually makes its way into RHEL (read: high value targets). This was not for short term payoffs by some rogue developer trying to mine crypto or other such nonsense. What you are seeing here is the planting of seeds for something months or a year down the road.

I mean, autoconf is basically a set of template programs for snffing out whether a system has X symbol available to the linker. Any replacement for it would end up morphing into it over time.

That's all true, but they wouldn't spend the money on those kinds of things, they'd just buy more fighter jets.
Byju's to begin with. Adani was another recent one. And the ones which aren't fraudulent most are copycats with no innovation. Flipkart etc.
Deployment is most of the cost so based on that you'd think they'd choose 288 strands. But amplification requirements go up with strand count. So the solution used is single digit number of strands with many wavelengths.
It is but I don’t see the relevance.
Sounds pretty ideal! But it also sounds like you're talking about all of this in the past tense... why did you end up leaving, if you don't mind me asking? :)
According to the USV project, these characters don't work out so well in practice.

> We tried using the control characters, and also tried configuring various editors to show the control characters by rendering the control picture characters.

> First, we encountered many difficulties with editor configurations, attempting to make each editor treat the invisible zero-width characters by rendering with the visible letter-width characters.

> Second, we encountered problems with copy/paste functionality, where it often didn't work because the editor implementations and terminal implementations copied visible letter-width characters, not the underlying invisible zero-width characters.

>Third, users were unable to distinguish between the rendered control picture characters (e.g. the editor saw ASCII 31 and rendered Unicode Unit Separator) versus the control picture characters being in the data content (e.g. someone actually typed Unicode Unit Separator into the data content).

There are so many signs that everyone encounters everyday that are of no consequence. Everyone develops the habit of not reading them.
I have a question. Doesn't observing some signal require interacting with it? And wouldn't most interaction sufficient to gain a high fidelity signal modify the underlying particles in some way that might destroy the message? How, if we can retrieve the message in the beam with accuracy, do we not simultaneously gain the technology to disrupt the beam? Isn't jamming just loud and sophisticated form of communication? If we can communicate, how are we not simultaneously able to jam?
This is so cool. I already do this in a very ad-hoc way. Will definitely try it!

My only concern is that once Reddit reviews get used at scale for product discovery, we will see an inflow of fake and paid reviews in the comments. This will further pollute Reddit and probably drive discussions to forums closed from the public eye, e.g. Discord.

Obviously, this is not your fault at all, it's just the market dynamics at hand.

Anyway, let me try it!
I've found perplexity to be a replacement for google for 90% of my queries and i only use google now as a website index. If I have any sort of question, instead of jumping through the hoops of thinking how to structure the query in a way that fits google i just ask it naturally to perplexity and the answers it gives are correct often enough for me to use it over google.

I'm convinced that all these AI technologies have legitimate use cases. But it's far too easy to use them to generate endless streams of noise, spam, and mistrust and drown out anything valuable.
What I'm getting at here is that there are use cases for ElasticSearch/OpenSearch beyond log collection and analysis; many of them don't involve Kibana at all.

Hoe will you do that practically though? That’s probably thousands of commits upon which tens or hundred thousand commits from others were built. You can’t just rollback everything two years and expect it not to break or bring back older vulnerabilities that were patched in those commits.

Property tax revenue in California is $83.1 billion

It has 40 million residents (who cares if they're citizens or owners or not) - for $2075 per person.

Take another state (I won't even use New Jersey as the highest) - revenue in Texas: $73.5 billion. Population in 2021: 30 million - 2450. Slightly higher, but not much. Texas has no income tax.

Let's take Illinois: $33.8 billion - population in 2020: 13 million - 2600.

I don't think California's woes can be adequately explained by Prop 13.

However, you could fix most of the problem by making commercial property no longer subject to Prop 13.
And now we see why I don't trust anons, aliases, or anime characters to make contributions.

Programming as theory building has been the rock that explains how stupid companies are with how they turn retaining employees into a financial game.

https://pages.cs.wisc.edu/~remzi/Naur.pdf

Your employees ARE your company. Every time you lose an employee you are cutting a chunk out of your company. Sometimes this is good. But if you lose a top performer its like losing your kidneys. You are going to be on dialasis for a long time.

...this metaphore makes me think about how insane it would be for a person to look at their organs as a financial puzzle to solve. Like what if dialasis was less expensive than not selling your kidneys.
This is the line where we need to figure out as a society what we want technology to replace or not.

A good barista is already doing this in their head, and also building and maintaining a human relationship with those customers.

Part of the appeal of a good coffee shop to is that it feels like a friendly place to spend time with people you know, and it makes it feel special when you've got that one place where everyone knows who you are and how you like your coffee. Coffee being an important daily ritual for many builds this shared understanding and empathy around the craft - I'm here because you know this specific subset of me intimately and I can get something valuable that isn't just "the screen says your name is X and your drink is Y is that right?"

No argument, but if I'm interviewing and get a better offer, I'm probably gonna leave.

Further in some corporations, interviewing for other positions is a bright shiny red flag for that person to be let go or fired. Even if they accept the counter offer.

Thanks and makes sense. Supplements+general health and beauty will probably be one of the first things that get added outside of skincare. Would be interested in seeing the reviews as well for those considering how supplements are sold+regulated.
I find Gemini the best. Paying the 20£ subscription for advanced. It's been almost 2 months since I opened chatGPT, gemini completely replaced it for me and I'm a happy customer.

Everyone has their preference and maybe some people like you prefer chatGPT, but the way google makes deals with other companies like apple and samsung, I don't see openai competing in the future.

I was not expecting that:

I started out in San Francisco as a journalist, radio talk show host and city girl who couldn’t boil an egg. Then I came to Wales, that mythic land of castles, mist and magic. At the age of 41, I fell in love with a Welsh farmer named Rich, and came to live on his beautiful farm by the sea. Life on the farm was quite an adjustment for me, but after a steep learning curve, I came to love it. We bought our first goat in order to help with my son Benji’s bronchial infections. Together Rich and I learned to make a probiotic called kefir, to use up our surplus goats milk.

Then Rich contracted a life-threatening superbug infection and, when the doctors couldn’t help us, I used our kefir to save Rich’s life. I also learned to put the kefir into skincare, which cured Benji’s eczema. Rich and I started our little business Chuckling Goat on the farmhouse kitchen table, offering our handmade kefir and kefir skincare online. Today we have 70 goats, 10 employees and 30,000 happy customers in 28 countries around the world.

Having remembered an article about superabsorption increasing battery charge rate, I wondered whether there is superradiance with electrons, and there is! :

The 2 GMail accounts are 85% / mainly associated with XZ work, since 2021, per searching for them explicitly via Google.

Google prefers it would be 2019, when LLMs were a "remote" threat. They don't make more ad money when people find things, they prefer to keep us searching and seeing ads. They will be dragged kicking and screaming into the future.

I think AI also presents a huge threat to Meta and other social networks. We can get interactive experiences with AI now. We don't need social networks like before. I personally read as much LLM text as human text in a day because it is so clean and useful.

Ads are also under threat. I think web browsers and phones will equip with a layer of "user-agent-ai" where the AI extracts the useful parts from the web and redisplays it for the user under their own controls. You can bet ads are not going to be shown, thrown away together with low quality content. Only AIs will read ads.

Search, social and ads are going to be digested by AI and redisplayed for us. We gain control and protection. AI will form a layer of protection when going online, as the web will be crawling with AI bots trying to gain something from us.

"Oddball customisation" is a bit rich, no? A backslash is the way things are escaped in most places. Why re-invent the wheel?

I think part of the problem for LLMs is that they don't operate in an easily scoreable "game". We can make them work well for optimizing next token(s) log likelihood, but how do we judge quality of the output for the task it was made for?

Then after that, there are other challenges, such as do LLMs have a world model that lets them think how to attain a reward?

Wherever you can have an automated feedback mechanism, you can start to address the first problem and allow for the AI to explore more of the "tree". These are situations like coding (you can run the code and evaluate the output), or situations where you can let the LLM crowd-source user feedback.

For models that have some actual world model, who can reason across modalities, and who can plan, LeCunn talks about this often. The videos/slides here[1] were good content.

Word of mouth means that the attrition will forewarn those who have the same thought process.
With high-energy particles the showers made when the particles hit something can be more dangerous than the original particles.

For instance if you are building a space colony there is an optimal thickness for the biological shield: most high energy particles blast right through you and if you have too much shielding there are too many opportunities for a particle to explode a nucleus in the shield and multiply the number of radioactive particles dramatically. Off the top of the head I'd say about six feet of soil is about right, but you don't do better with 60 feet or anything reasonable until you are talking multiple kilometers (maybe of vacuum or air space) that give shower muons time to decay.

Speaking of muons, it is an easy experiment often used in physics education to measure the the lifetime of cosmic ray muons produced in showers.

https://www.physlab.org/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/Muon_cali...

If a muon gets slowed down by matter you see a pulse of radiation, then you see a pulse of radiation a few microseconds later when the particle decays. If you measure the time gap in two-pulse events you can get the half-life. It was a popular experiment in Cornell's 510 lab for grad students who weren't particularly interested in doing experiments because it was so easy.
Because vertical scaling can take you so far these days that 99% of companies will never, ever reach the scale where they need more. There is just few incentives.

Especially since:

- Servers will keep getting better and cheaper with time.

- Data is not only in postgres, you probably have redis, clickhouse and others, so the charge is balanced. In fact you may have different dedicated postgres, like one for GIS tasks.

- Those hacky extensions are damn amazing. No product in the world is that versatile.

- Posgres has much better support from legacy frameworks like django/ror/laravel than nosql alternatives. People shits on ORM, but they enable a huge plugin well integrated ecosystem that makes you super productive, and PG is happily and transparently handling all that.

- If by some miracle you actually reach the point you need this, you'll have plenty of money to pay for commercial HA/sharding, or migrate. So why think about it now?
I see lots of sites using subdomains/cnames. I suspect proxies too.
I suppose that's fair but to me that's just how OSS happens, you're working somewhere and you realize that there's a need not being filled -- and Redis was one of those. You work on it until it serves your needs and then say, "hey I bet other people would find this useful."

To me the giving it away part is the whole ethos, I'm not some FOSS zealot that believes every piece of software should be GPL or whatever. If you want to make a play at making selling software your business then I think proprietary licensing makes the most sense. And I also think it's a dick move to give a piece of software to the community, collect contributions and integrations from people helping a community effort, and then take it back. It's especially a dick move when it's been OSS for 15 years and Redis Labs isn't even the company that made it.
