The relationship between interest and inflation is probably not as simple as people and experts seem to think. It's non-linear, involves hysteresis and also time delays. It's probably not possible to model.
It depends on the “old school forum” I think. Most phpbb style forums had limited populations, so they were more like chats with your friends at a bar; people come and go, but if you are a regular, there are some familiar faces, and you will likely be engaging with the same people in the short term, so being incredibly rude is counter-productive.

Really big boards like Something Awful were the ones known for their rudeness.

I interviewed with them, a long long long time ago.

They use OCaml because it is explainable. Which it is. They use it like a non-lazy version of Haskell -- side effects are used rarely if ever. So there's no nonlocal behavior in the code, which makes it easy to reason about. And that kinda matters when a lot of money is at stake.

Incidentally, Standard Chartered has their own compiler for Haskell, without the laziness. The group is led by the guy famous for Cayenne (the first dependently typed Haskell dialect).
The color scale on this map distorts one's perception of where there are significant differences. There are sharp color boundaries at arbitrary points on a color scale and counter-intuitive gradations of color (while greens reflect the driest counties, the darkest green is actually the least dry of the greens). With a more continuous color scale this map would seem a lot less dramatic.

The only real response is that it's not the Monroney's job to tell you whether a car brand is "American" or "Not American".

At this point, just about every auto manufacturer that sells vehicles in the US is a multinational corporation with huge operations in dozens of countries. It's all a branding exercise now.

BTW - Honda of America does so much work in Ohio that they could probably completely cut ties with Honda in Japan.

The abuse of notation is a useful one, as it also captures the sense that as the exponent approaches infinity, the interpolation approaches nearest neighbor interpolation. This seems similar to the “max norm”, described in the wiki link below, which also uses infinity to describe the relationship with other distance formulas.

> Most companies don't want to hire OCaml and Haskellers

Most companies don't even know that these are programming languages. Also don't assume people interested in these languages are "the best". Regarding JS, this is all hearsay, but I think nowadays they hire good profiles (competitive programmers / olympiad winner / top graduates from prestigious schools), ask them hard leetcode questions, and teach them OCaml (which anybody can learn, not particularly hard. Their talent pool isn't restricted to the OCaml community, as it used to be when they were less famous, except for niche use case (compiler work and so on...)

I agree, moreover, this is what the author wrote:

> All that aside, the problem isn’t just “bad comments”, because I’m a grown woman and can take critique. The biggest problem is that a portion of those folks take screenshots and share them with unsavory folks. Not a week goes by that I don’t get some nasty email from someone I blocked on Mastodon. Some of these have been threatening, and it’s gotten to the point where before I toot, I think “will someone threaten to kill me over this?” That’s not fun.

There's a difference between strongly disagreeing with a post, toot, tweet, what-have-you and outright taking things way beyond what could be seen as proper conduct with respect for the human on the other end.

The solution isn't to just accept that under the guise of emotional maturity. It's investing in proper governance and arbitrage, promoting shared values and morals, and providing enough affordances in digital tools that help affirm all of that.
Not a Genius move: Resurrecting war hero Alan Turing as your 'chief AI officer'
I wonder how much of this has to do with the way Search/Google have reprogrammed our brains in the way we generally approach and solve problems. Our internal models of the world are changing. Youth today are overconfident in their intelligence, because anything they want to know is on their smartphone, literally at their fingertips. Older people have biases as well, and can fall down rabbit holes like Q-anon etc.

Perhaps the more computers think for us, the smaller the cognitive differences between us become.
This is Dropbox Sign, not Dropbox. It’s a document signing product akin to Docusign, and was called Hellosign before Dropbox acquired them.

We are a customer of theirs at my startup, and as far as I can tell Dropbox has made very few changes since the acquisition beyond changing the branding. So I wouldn’t take this incident to be an indicator of much on the cloud-storage side of the company.
> But Tesla has since halted the effort, opting to stick with its more proven method of casting vehicle underbodies in three pieces: two gigacasted front and rear sections and a midsection made of aluminum and steel frames to store batteries, according to the two sources familiar with the matter. That is largely the same three-piece method the company has used for its past two new models, the Model Y crossover SUV and the Cybertruck pickup.

I feel like three piece "gigacasting" still has to be advantageous over the normal process that involves hundreds of pieces.
I have read about IRED but never heard the particulars of their training regime before. Dunno about that workout plan, it is a workout which would not induce hypertrophy on earth, so I wouldn't expect it to do much in zero g. Hopefully they don't give up on the idea just because they were doing weak lifts

Really though when they get to the moon I just want to see them bring a barbell and two big buckets which they fill up with moon rocks. In general free weights are better for hitting a variety of muscles at once vs machines being better for isolation exercises, if you're trying to prevent muscle wastage across your entire body, a barbell may very well be superior!
Very true.

American drinking culture is rather different. I recall American work colleagues visiting us being horrified at going out for a lunchtime pint. ("What if your manager or HR finds out"; "Errm, we're joining them, they are already there"). They never even got to see the Friday night carnage that goes on in most British pubs.
Really? One person drinking five glasses of wine over lunch seems normal to you?

Looking at the UK guidelines, a bottle of wine is generally ten units and they suggest under fourteen units a week spread out over three or more days. So that "social lunch" seems to be binge drinking in the UK too.
A coffee or beer can be slammed quickly compared to waiting for and eating a meal.

Ex collegiate track and XC athlete, yes, we'd alternate directions once in a while when doing long workouts on the track. It's a 36.5m radius, and it does get to you eventually. You feel it in your knees long before your ankles. I ran distance events (1500, 3200, 5k), so I think I had it easier than the 200m and 400m guys (and especially the 400m/300m hurdle guys) whose spikes were desperately clawing at the track to hold the turn, but I did have some workouts with a lot of laps. We didn't bother to make it exactly even, but if we were doing ladder workouts we'd switch directions somewhere near the middle.

Indoor meets often had 200m tracks with tighter (frequently nonstandard!) radii. The good ones were banked, though it never seemed to be at the right angle, always too steep or too shallow.

Every race still goes counterclockwise, though.

Maybe it's my XC side talking, but I'd love to see a track in a figure 8 with an underpass. Left turn, over the bridge, right turn , under the bridge, and repeat! It would break up those monotonous 8 and 12 lap races nicely, and you could fit a longer track in a shorter rectangular building by using the hypotenuse. I'm sure people would hate the hilly incline, though...
>let's just assume that FT (an English language paper) is not worried about confusion

What happens when a gigacasted underbody is damaged? If it's all just one big piece I've got to imagine any repairs are orders of magnitude more expensive than replacing a few interchangeable parts.
You seem to be conflating "logical" with "moral".
Cloudflare provides this as a feature, you can choose to get an email every time a certificate for your domain is generated.
Certificate Transparency really serves the end user.

Because the most popular browsers (at least Chrome and Safari) generally require CT logged certificates, if you want to successfully perform a MitM attack against any user, even just some individual user, even controlling a CA, you still can't do so without publishing your fraudulent certificate to a CT log.

This is the important function of the CT log. It is an effective balance against compromised CAs and governments that might abuse CAs, because it causes such attacks to become quickly tamper-evident.

I don't think it would be possible for a system like this to be effective without publishing the actual certificate to the log.
if your robots are as efficient as you say they are then there is no need to replace them with gigacasting, what's a few extra pieces to weld together?
Interesting. What exactly are you looking for? Domain names that are similar like Micr0sotf.com and such?

- sapience

I often discuss Jane Street as a great model of employee branding. They do well placed adverts/sponsorships (e.g. Standup Maths[0]), they produce a quite decent quality podcast (Signals and Threads [1]), and they have consistent monthly puzzles [2]. That level of investment in branding only makes sense, I think, at a large size. I'm kind of surprised they only have ~2500 people.

Doublepoint | Helsinki / Remote | Machine Learning Lead | Full-time

We're creating cutting edge gesture detection algorithms for smartwatches and have recently started looking for an experienced ML Engineer to lead our ML team.

We currently have a tap model (think Apple double tap) that is world-class, will be distributing our pinch-and-hold model later this year, and want someone who will lead the development of these models.

Our team moves fast and this role will be quite dynamic. You will lead but also be hands-on.

The ideal person will have worked with signal processing, and more specifically live time series classification from an embedded sensor stream.

For a demo of a bit of our tech, check out WowMouse[1], an app for smartwatches that lets you control devices like computers and tablets with your hand rather than a mouse (over Bluetooth). It shows only a subset of what we can do but already has tens of thousands of users.

I don't believe the Bible Belt for one second.

I grew up in Southeastern Kentucky until I was about 10, in Pulaski county. It was a dry county at the time. I remember my mom's friends going on road trips for booze, and later on my mom told me that some people would vote for it to stay a dry county because they liked these road trips. I'm sure there were also people making money bringing in quantities and selling it under the table.

I also have a memory of a lake cop pulling over our boat on Lake Cumberland (huge tourist lake there) and making a quip about how much he hates finding weed on that lake... because it was always such bad weed. I remember it because of everyone laughing.

So yeah, don't believe that swath of green across Kentucky, Tennessee, and West Virginia. Ask anyone else who has ever lived there. It's at least as yellow as Ohio and the other surrounding areas, probably with some patches of red.

Also check out Oklahoma. You're telling me the exact outline of Oklahoma is green but not the surrounding states?

How does this compare to Avalonia?
Agreed, the differences aren't as stark as the map seems. Almost all of the states fall between 15% and 25% percent of the population.

Wisconsin stands out at 25.29% of the population labeled as excessive drinkers due to the large amount of dark red, but South Dakota is at 22.43% -- less than 3% difference, but that state is mostly orange.

For a county example, Hardin, TX is 19.13% and Rusk, WI is 20.82%. A difference of just under 1.7%, but the Wisconsin county is bright red and the Texas county is orange.
isn't the ultimate point of AI though, that instead of the traditional situation where the machines are the tools of humans, we become the (optional) tools for the AI? The AGI will do the understanding for us, and we'll profit by getting what we want from the black box, like a dog receiving industrially manufactured treats it cannot comprehend from its owner.
The metric they use for "excessive drinkers" is pretty inflexible. It, for instance, does not take into account weight whatsoever. I can drink the entire "excessive binge drinker" amount (5 beers) in 1 sitting and I wouldn't even be legally drunk. Also the time window is not given anywhere. If I get not-quite-drunk once, am I suddenly an "excessive drinker" for life?
It seems obvious that one would do repeat measurements of the cyst and look for any changes, in particular rapid growth, rather than jump onto the operating table.

Doing a procedure with higher risk than the asymptomatic condition itself probably should not be covered by insurance, but if someone wants to self-fund it, let them (same if they want to chop off their hand).
Absolute rubbish in my case. Tried three locations with distinct landmarks, like mountains, lakes and buildings from Germany and Poland. In one case it got the country correct, in the others it guessed France.
> The only founder still at the firm is Rob Granieri, but insiders say it is functionally run by roughly 30-40 senior executives in what kinda resembles an incredibly profitable anarchist commune. Or as Jane Street itself puts it:

> We operate as a functionally-organized structure consisting of various management and risk committees. Each committee is responsible for directing the overall strategy of the firm and for emphasizing the importance of risk management to our operations. Each of our trading desks and business units is run by equity unit holders who take an active role in managing our day-to-day operations [...]. Our management structure allows for effective cross-departmental communication [...].

Yes, that org structure full of hierarchical business units with distinct responsibilities and committees and subcommittees and overseers and risk management totally screams "anarchy"...
> Throughout 2020, more than 9% of all people in nursing homes died of covid. Depending on age case fatality rates were upwards of 50%.

That's just about most difficult population to determine primary cause of death for. Most people in nursing homes have multiple comorbidities and a long list of medications. Its easy enough to know when someone died with Covid, its much more difficult (if not impossible) to know after the fact whether that's what caused their death or if the infection began after an existing condition worsened and weakened their immune system further.

> Drastically expanding the vaccinated population through compassionate use would have rapidly provided efficacy and safety data.

That wouldn't have helped get efficacy or safety data for the general public though. Vaccinating that population could absolutely have helped determine efficacy for that population and I agree it feels like a reasonable action given the potential risks for that population, but the data wouldn't be useful for the general public that are younger and/or in better health prior to infection.

Search engine manipulation isn't really even a search problem. It's a Google problem. Google's struggle with search engine manipulation begins and ends with their advertisement based business model. As long as their main source of revenue is the very ads on the websites that pollute their search results, they will never find a solution to the problem.

Search engine spam increases the search count (apparently an important KPI), and it also increases ad impressions, both on the SERP and on the results pages.

This is a conclusion that is straight from Page and Brin themselves[1].

I don't know what kind of strip club you attended but the "average rate" for a 1-on1 dance is $20 (sometimes with an additional fee for the private room). That's for 1 song, typically 4-5 minutes. That equates to about $240 for an entire hour. Paying for a stripper to spend an hour with you is excessive, unless you are a high roller or are (as many are) expecting more than just a dance. Maybe you visited a "high end" club, or maybe you got taken for a ride (which I've seen happen to rich, inexperienced young men).
