Ha ha, I suppose as long as he goes on left wing media outlets and make bad and poorly reasoned predictions that follow left wing politics, then he would be well regarded.

And please, don't pretend like there is no left wing aligned science politics that is as much based on science as flat earthers. I assume you haven't been hibernating during the covid times. All the doctors who did exactly that are doing fine with regard to their reputations.
Was this an edited title, or some A/B testing? Because the title I see is Can Car-free Living Make You Happier?, and what is described in the article is hardly a town, but more like an oversized apartment complex.
I don't think anything he did or said was recklessly dangerous. In fact I think he believes he was acting in the US's best interest. I would be curious what the outcome would be if we had followed his approaches (which evolved during the course of the epidemic). I think he would have been much more succcessful if he worked the back channels and never been so public in twitter.

I saw a lot of "epidemiological immune system" activity during COVID- if you didn't toe a specific line, the larger community would attack you, right or wrong. My guess is that this is mainly from historical experience with vaccines and large-scale disease outbreaks, where having a simple, consistent message that did not freak out the population is considered more importantly than being absolutely technically correct.
Almost 10 years ago, I ran a media sentiment analytics product that worked on hand coding. Everything automated that we tested - and that our competitors tried to launch - output garbage. The status quo for media analysis was either averaging a lot of garbage, or paying an insane amount for a very limited scope. We used automated tools to multiply the hand coders, but there was no plausible lights-out solution if accuracy really mattered.

That's completely changed in the last 18 months. All my colleagues in the industry have switched to LLMs. They're seeing accuracy as good as hand coding was getting (these were generally college educated coders), at scale.

Non-LLM sentiment tools were always a bit of a parlor trick that required cherry picking to survive the demo. In almost every case drilling to the actual statements revealed it was wrong on anything involving irony, humor, or even complex grammar. That's changed almost overnight.

I think the finding that hn is "neutral" about MBAs says all that's needed about accuracy here.
It was WarGames for me.
I think that's a bit click-baity given that Ethernet appears to be a library of some sort here.

Cool-looking language, but would be better to promote it based on its merits.
I think this keeps things open because if they can see your stuff but cannot comment or repost it served the purpose, in fact it will lessen the chance that person needs to switch accounts because they can already do half the things(see post) without switching. If they have to switch accounts to look at your posts, they will also surely be easy to comment and repost your tweets to their mobs. This is overall plus
The title, as submitted, appears under the "Long Reads" menu on the website: https://www.outsideonline.com/tag/outside-features/
Right. The lossiness in JPEG comes from quantization of the DCT coefficients. But with the way the DCT works:

- You can flip a block horizontally, left-to-right, by negating the DCT coefficients in the odd-numbered columns (zero-indexed).

- You can flip a block vertically, top-to-bottom, by negating the DCT coefficients in the odd-numbered rows (zero-indexed).

- You can transpose a block by transposing the DCT coefficients.

In combination, that's enough to rotate a block in 90 degree increments, and to do so losslessly/reversibly without harming the original quantization (you don't even need to do an IDCT). Then you swap the blocks around to the right order and redo the lossless entropy encoding stages.
>Most Realtors are not attorneys. You said you needed to talk to an attorney but what if your realtor.... was an attorney?

You are kinda leaning into an observation I've made as a Realtor... whether I should go get a law degree. In many states, the real estate agent really is just a marketing person, and once it's time for a contract the lawyer gets involved. In those cases, the challenge I see is that lawyers are not real estate people - it has been my experience that they know nothing of zoning, land use, water rights, fencing, schools, soils, construction, and the myriad of things I'm expected to know about or find resources for my clients about.

on the other hand, when I look at the risks to my business and the ever-increasing regulatory environment, it sure looks to me like the future belongs to lawyers. Better to get a law degree and then become an expert in real estate than be a real estate expert beholden to whatever the lawyers are making us do now.
Basically every free person in the US can get a 26,000 lb truck or a semi auto rifle in under an hour.

Germany has taken the other approach and implemented policies to make their country closer to a prison with all kind of harsher regulations, then reducing prison time.

There are merits to be found in either approach.
At least in my own mental model of publishing a paper (I've published only a few), I'd want my coauthors to stick hot pokers in my if I made a mistake or got careless. But then, my entire thesis was driven by a reproducible Makefile that downloaded the latest results from a supercomputer, re-ran the whole analysis, and wrote the latex necessary (at least partly to avoid making trivial mistakes). It was clear everything I was doing was just getting in the way of publishing high prestige papers.
> I don't know anyone who was doing particularly well, including those working...

I and many others did great. I think someone should do a study of the experiences of introverts vs extroverts and you'll find the latter suffered more and many of the former had a better quality of life as a result.

Working from home was simply a huge boost for many. We suddenly found more time to do our personal projects. Got to work less without dropping productivity etc.
Probably intended to be a post exploitation technique.
Again, it's a theory. But I'm still saying it's WAY more plausible that he felt empowered to do whatever he wantedn instead of masking.
No idea—all I know how to do is recognize patterns and program computers.

But admitting to the existence of a problem is the first step toward fixing it, and, judging by the downvotes on various comments on this story here, we still have a ways to go before the existence of the problem is commonly-accepted.

That's five high ranking folks 'in the know'. Likely others who knew but they didn't have enough evidence for an airtight case.
Committing to Rust in the Kernel
Many European countries had online banking in the 80s. Largely because banks were focused on efficiency, and they wanted to replace checks with wire transfers and domestic debit cards. In order to do that, they had to make wire transfers as convenient as possible.

When online shopping first appeared, wire transfers were the obvious form of payment. Few people had credit cards, because most shops didn't accept them. And shops didn't accept them, because they were too expensive.

(When I got a credit card in the early 2000s, one of the things they emphasized in the marketing was that you could withdraw money from foreign ATMs. And you usually got a better rate than by exchanging cash. It's kind of funny that you are not supposed to use an American credit card for that.)
yes, the keywords search is using full-text searching and it is not efficient so I hardcoded them. Will consider switch to use embedding, that will be more efficient and accurate, also can support custom keywords search. Thanks for your advice.
> Just because it was discussed way back when doesn't mean everyone has to accept the resolution from that. People obviously think it wasn't addressed in a good way.

That's precisely it, and why we also usually call behavior like Ted's "passive aggressive", and why Steve is right to call it out as seemingly made in bad faith. The person to whom he should address his complaints is the decider, the BDFL, Linus Torvalds, not anyone else.

Snipping, delay tactics, bureaucratic maneuvering, and endless bike shedding can poison projects. If you think Rust in the kernel is a mistake (not -- you think, in good faith, this implementation detail or that is technically incorrect), you need to plainly express that view to the person who makes the decisions, instead of whining to and about the people doing good work, endorsed by project leadership.

It's fine to be on record that "this thing will never work". It's less fine to work non-constructively to kill something before it gets an opportunity to work.
Piling on re: mixing roles: I read "abuse of position" in the GP comment as "conflict of interest," which is potentially problematic for a board member of a non-profit.

I can't speak to the veracity of the facts presented in WP Engine's C&D letter, but my reading of it is they're accusing the head of the WordPress Foundation, in his official capacity, of putting the interests of his for-profit company ahead of the non-profit's stated mission to "ensure free access, in perpetuity, to the software projects."[0] That's the sort of thing that could threaten the foundation's 501(c)3 status, or in extreme cases lead to criminal charges.

This is what happens when Silicon Valley execs, trying to make their employees more replaceable, call for more STEM education; suddenly, tons of funding and institutional resources go into STEM research with no real reason or motivation or material for this research. It's like an gerbil wheel: once you get on the ride, once you get tricked into becoming a "scientist" just because a few billionaires wanted to cut slightly thicker margins, there's no stop. Bullshit your way through undergraduate education, bullshit your way through a PhD; finally, if you're good enough at making up statistics, you get a job training a whole host of other bullshitters to ride the gravy train.

This is the kind of message board logic that doesn’t actually work in the real world.

I think you unknowingly paired the speaking style, tone patterns, levels and spacing etc which isn’t actually part of their voice, but combining it with the voice print you get a clear picture. If someone cloned my voice and start speaking differently from me, different levels(soft loud) and have an accent, nobody would recognize it was me.

For my part, I can see some accounts but not others, though the “rule” is not clear. Even then, on the accounts I can see they only show a dumb disjointed list of tweets ordered by popularity regardless of post date.

Pretty hard to find free space inside an iphone to put explosives like they did with the pagers.
what's missing from this paper is a probability using its own model that it too is false. counter to the headline, it implies that by its own probable falsehood, most published research is in fact true.

I admit to missing the joke in the first reading.

pseudonyms may prevent the abuse of invalid papers by removing the ability of the authors to front institutional reputations for partisan claims.

the movement for science and data to drive policy outside of their domains sounds nice until you find that the science and data are irrepreducible, and the institutions have become laundering vehicles for debased opinions that wash the hands of policymakers. as though the potential for abuse has become the value.

maybe it's a rarefied kind of funny, but the kernel of truth it reveals is that it could be time to start using pseudonyms in some disciplines to make the axis of policymakers and academics more honest.
Nah this is a classic case of the no true perfect double-edged slippery-sloped sword of damocles being the enemy of the good no true double-edged slippery-sloped sword of damocles that shouldn't be thrown in glass houses where the chickens have come to roost.
I recall hearing (maybe in a Level1Techs video?) that something akin to this can already be done with SAS. Each CPU in a dual-socket system gets its own HBA and each drive has two SAS connectors, so there's no performance hit for accessing a drive from the "wrong" CPU.
It's ironic that the paper has a correction. The title and abstract sound highly editorial, especially given that "false" is never defined. They talk about pre study odds being an enhancement but I didn't see them include those in their own paper. The fact that a study is small or the impact is minor doesn't make the results false, especially when these limitations are called out and further research is requested. You could even have a case study n=1 be valid if the conclusion is properly defined. The main problem is people generalizing from things that don't have that level of support.

Since when is this kind of blatant racism acceptable on this site? “Gutter oil”? Wtf is wrong with you?
Every time this topic comes up I'm reminded of what Stefan Savage, a hero of mine, said about academic papers ("studies", in the sense we're discussing here): they are the beginnings of conversations, not the end. It shouldn't shock people that results in papers might not replicate; papers aren't infallible, which makes sense when you consider the process that produces them.
During covid, people got so hyped up about trusting authorities, they threw science out the window. Well I guess they never understood science in the first place but wanted to shame anyone who disagreed with or even questioned whatever arbitrary ideas their government proposed. It was disgusting, and those people are still walking around among us ready to damage society next time some emergency happens.
In the USA if you exercise your right to a trail then a very heavy trial tax is imposed, especially in Federal cases.
https://naacp.org/resources/eliminating-illegal-practice-tri...

You have the right, but you are severely punished if you dare exercise it. This is 'just' (as in keeping with justice) because it helps reduce the strain on our justice system that is not designed and can in no way handle a non-trivial amount of cases actually going to trial and people exercising their rights. Just like companies can no longer function without people giving up their rights and requiring binding arbitration, our justice system would not be able to function if people didn't give up their right to trial.

The USA used to make fun of China because it has enshrined rights in it's constitution that, in practice, are not available or not applicable in actual daily life. I have free speech, but not where people would hear it. I have the right to a trial, but with it comes actuality the government will change my sentence to near life (or the portion of life that has any quality to it) if I dare avail myself of that right.

How many people close to you will die if you dare take your case to trial and get a trial tax imposed? How much of your childrens' lives will you miss? How long will they suffer without you earning money to support them? Or, will you miss out on the child rearing years completely when one starts a family because of the lengthy trial tax? Best to take the plea. There's a reason the Feds conviction rate is 95%, it's the explicit threat/coercion that is the trial tax. Remember, the longer the sentence, the rougher the prison you are sent to as well, because your security rating is heavily based on remaining sentence length. So it's not just a threat of length, but also the level of violence you will be subjected to during imprisonment.

Ironically, you have to testify that you were not coerced, to the judge, in court, to get out of having the trial tax imposed when you take your plea, when the very same judge knows of and is the person who applies the trial tax.

Why should WhatsApp pay for the indefinite storage of your media any more than iCloud?

Of course WhatsApp could start charging for storage in the same way that Apple does, but given that WhatsApp is pretty focused on local-only message storage at the moment (similar to Signal, and unlike e.g. Telegram or Facebook Messenger), I don't think that would be a very popular feature.
Thanks for the ideas, heat map looks great! Will also consider add custom queries, it can be quite useful.
I didn't think I'd really like management, but I also didn't think I'd totally hate it. I liked helping to organize the team and put systems in place to make things run more smoothly. People also tended to look to me for direction. It was my team that pushed me to make the move to be their manager. I was absolutely miserable and it was all self-imposed. After a year I asked if we could re-org some things so I could go back to being an individual contributor. The team was pretty disappointed I was stepping down, which I guess means I did a good job, but mentally I just couldn't deal with trying to balance my own perfectionism with other people doing the work.
Probably not, because he led the conspiracy.

If we were all Stephan Wolfram, perhaps that would be possible. But very few academics have either the notoriety or the funds to self-publish and ensure their work isn't stolen in their highly competitive industry.

There is a lot of academic work that is very obscure and only becomes important later, sometimes decades later, maybe even centuries, to someone else doing equally obscure work, but it always goes somewhere, and the goal is not to "move fast and break things," but create bodies of scholarship that last far beyond any specific capitalist industry or company.
