For my one foray into ML, in 2020, I also built my own labeling system. It was stupidly simple; IIRC, it was a Jupyter Notebook that presented you with text to label, and you’d do so by hitting 1-5, which were mapped to sentiments / emotions. If you got bored, or just wanted to see how it performed with X% training, you could save progress and quit. It worked well enough, and I think I labeled a couple of thousand entries using it.

You don't care about political labels but your entire argument was that my position "drives the right" -- no reasoning was offered, only the claim that your boogeyman of choice was somehow being strengthened. You don't care about labels but you made sure to accompany your claim by pointing out that I was "only signaling to other liberals" making again a point with no content other than the boogeyman and now with the addition of now placing me within that group on the basis of my position.

I've read back on this exchange several times. I see that I am positing something about language and explaining my reasoning, then you're responding with cries about "word games" without saying anything of substance. Do you see the same thing? What are you trying to say and why?

Resilient to pests, environmental changes, etc?

Biodiversity is a very good mechanism for resilience. Even on a tiny scale: if this year one of my tomato varieties doesn't produce due to heat/cold/damp, some of the others will. And if all tomatoes fail, I have beans. Or salad. And potatoes, and turnips, and carrots.

Yet if all you have is one variety of potatoes, and it gets sick, it can upset an entire country, kill millions¹

You'd think the solution is obvious, but the opposite is happening. Especially the staple foods that are now feeding the billions, are rapidly dwindling in varieties. Some crops, like bananas and agave already down to effectively one genetic variety - if (when) that fails, we'll lose the ability to produce bananas or agave (tequila, etc) almost entirely. Imagine this happening to rice or grain or potatoes.

There are two markets. One is this means that you can make software for cheaper. What software didn't exist because it was too expensive to create? Nevermind finding a team in India or Eastern Europe, you can now make a US team and pay them in equity until you get funding/revenue. What underserved niche does your mom/wife/girlfriend/boyfriend/dog currently not have software for, that they'd be worth a couple of bucks for? What niche, existing piece of software is out there that currently sucks?

The other market is this cohort themselves. What will "40 year old software engineers without a job" pay for? Food, rent, gym membership, haircuts, Factorio. Figure out something they want/need (other than jobs) that they'll pay for, and make that.

Surely, given that drones can nowadays deliver heavy ordnance into distant trenches undetected, an amazon drone should be able to perform a similat feat?
“Some of the College Station residents who have complained about the noise say they still largely support the testing of drones. But many believe Amazon miscalculated by locating its depot close to so many residences.”

I agree that it seems improper to characterise these complaints as NIMBYism. The criticism is thoughtful, targeted and rises as much from Amazon’s lack of communication as from its drones’ noise.

I think you misunderstood.

By default Rust expects you to handle every enum variant. Not doing so would be a compile error.

An example - my library exposes enum Colour with 3 variants - Red, Blue Green. In your application code you `match` on all 3. So far so good. But now if I add a 4th colour to my enum, your code will no longer compile because you are no longer handling every enum variant. This is a crappy experience for the user of the library.

Instead, the library writer can make their intent clear - with the #[non_exhaustive] attribute. On such an enum it's not enough to handle the 3 colours of the enum, you must add a wildcard matcher that matches any variants added in future. This gives the library writer flexibility to make changes, while protecting the application developer from breakage.
No, I think I just misread the comment I replied to. :/

I don't think this argument holds water for a number of reasons:

1. It is an unknown whether a finite volume of space can fundamentally be described by a finite number of states. You can extrapolate to this situation from your favourite theory, but this is not evidence that reality actually works like that. Physics has a long way to go to understand space-time completely.

2. Even assuming that is true, brains are not isolated systems. They are entangled with their environment. Why are you so sure that human cognition can be neatly separated into a finite box like this? The reality is almost certainly more complicated.

3. Lastly, you cannot measure a system like the brain to fundamental levels of detail without destroying it. You literally cannot clone a brain state if you take modern physics seriously, so this whole thing is a non-starter anyway.
This is such a strange take. We’re literally on the cusp of living in a Jetson’s style future where robots deliver stuff to our doors and that’s upsetting? To me this is literally the coolest thing ever. I’d much rather this than some delivery driver peeing in a Gatorade bottle to meet quotas. Automation drives prices down and makes all of our lives better.

Sure, I won’t dispute that it saves time to build apps this way, and that may be the right choice. But the results still suck and I still don’t like them.

Ironically, out of the apps I use regularly, the ugly, misbehaving apps built with cross-platform frameworks are from big companies that could easily afford to do it right, like Slack. The apps I use that come from small indie developers are all native. I suppose this is down to competition. I tend to have a choice for those apps, so I can choose ones that work the way I like. For Slack, my choices are to use the app, use it on the web (same as using the app, more or less), or find a new job at a company that uses something else.

Of this list, budgeting and banking are probably the only two that still need to be taught in high school because it's directly applicable during college.

The term NIMBY seems to have been popularized to refer to people dogmatically refusing any change, doesn't seem to apply here, where the article describes a real nuisance:

This is textbook No True Scotsman.

They're all NIMBYs to varying degrees. I'd rather have delivery drones overhead than government surveyors looking to fine people because their sheds aren't setback far enough or insurers looking to misclassify shadows on roofs as overhanging limbs and whatnot. At least I potentially get something out of it that way.
And they say California is anti-business. (which it is.) If the birds and the dogs want to start paying rent and voting, they'd be called NIMBYs.

Still, the answer to the problem is to redesign the drone blades so they make a different sound. Copy the wing design from barn owls. Which has been patented, so Amazon will just have to pay a licensing fee.

I'm really inclined to install Ubuntu or something else for my "new" used Dell 32GB laptop.

The only issue is that I also installed it on my 16GB ThinkPad and the desktop experience has a lot of rough edges.
OpenBSD and Linux work well on it. OpenBSD as much as I like it has too many usability issues on Desktop IME, you might find it absolutely fine.

If you are using Linux make sure you are using Wayland. For decent Youtube performance turn off "Ambient Mode" in the Web UI, it wrecks the video playback performance. The box shadow effect with the video playing on top of it is too much for these old iGPUs to handle.

Totem won't work properly in Gnome due to it not having a OpenGL 3.X compatible GPU. VLC will work fine. So just remove Totem and install VLC.
Maybe try and get the noise level down to ambient traffic first, then?
I'm not sure I'd count on these sorts of Chinese technologies being widely available in the US.

If it's available, snap it up. Buy it if it's for purchase. Download any available open source. Because I'm certain bans are incoming.
40+ years of successful coding with only print debugging FTW!

A tool that helps you by iteratively guessing the next token is not a "developer tool" any more than a slot machine is a wealth buidling tool.

Even when I was using Visual Studio Ultimate (that has a fantastic step-through debugging environment), the debugger was only useful for the very initial tests, in order to correct dumb mistakes.

Finding dumb mistakes is a different order of magnitude of the dev process than building a complex edifice of working code.

Apple doesn't have official stores around here like they do in the U.S., so Apple doesn't enjoy of the market forces like other vendors do.

Just to single out an example, Samsung here takes device trade-ins of both Samsung and Apple devices. If you wanted an iPhone you'd have to buy it at full price new always. Not even carriers offer discounts for Apple devices.

For starters, Samsung in this country has a factory/assembly line making it cheaper for locals, so your device is put together here and also exported to the neighbours.

I can definitely understand the need for real names from the perspective of people managing a project, along with someone vouching for those people. But managing a project is different from using the product of that projects. I very much doubt that many users have the ability or desire to do the vetting themselves so I am perfectly fine with maintaining the privacy of developers.

Also agreed that browsers should be held to the same high standard as operating systems. Many people access confidential data with their browsers, may it be their own data or data about other people. (Going back to the notion of trust, I worked for a bank in the early days of the public Internet. The bank I worked for only allowed clients to use the bank's own software. In retrospect, a big part of the reason was the human angle rather than the technical angle. Sure, web browsers may have used the same level of encryption. Yet that is meaningless when the browser itself may serve as a man-in-the-middle.)
I don’t recall this “Jetson’s style future” being not able to open the window because it sounds like chainsaws outside.
Some combo of flash and spinning rust storage really makes the market for very high capacity optical storage a bit niche. It might still have a place as archival media (and multi-layer optical disks, which are 3d optical storage of a sort, though not to the level of sophistication imagined in the 90s, are used in that role to some extent), but it's just really hard to see it rivalling flash for mainstream applications at this point. In particular, flash is really, really, _really_ fast.

The term "NIMBY" is usually used for projects that the NIMBY supports, or at least acknowledges the need for, but just doesn't want in their back yard: power plants, halfway houses, low income housing, etc.

Because if a manufacturer offers the choice then you want them to know how you intend to use it as this may affect how well they support it.

Not necessarily. Last I looked Dell sold the exact same hardware but you could choose a Linux or no OS option and save money.
It’s not about liberals or conservatives.

When a poor person votes for a ultra rich person that it is completely against the poor persons self interest because the rich person will make policy to favor himself as a rich person rather then others as poor people.

I hate extremist liberalism too and this is completely orthogonal to that.
I lost my ex wife and cat to divorce last May. My world fell apart the day after my birthday. My mom has been in and out of the hospital since November... two weeks after the divorce was finalized.

Trying to "live my life" has been the only answer to the grief, but it also has been profoundly painful and unproductive. I don't feel like I'm actually making progress... just perpetually existing in this state where I can never get my needs met as every last ounce of support, love and any family connection drains out of me.

Try to think of things that would have made him happy or proud of you. Do those things not just for them... but for yourself too. Keep their memory alive through your words and actions.

Feel your feelings... I've had to spend a lot of time just sobbing. Absorbing it trying to let it pass over me... I try not to fight it anymore. In fact I think sometimes I embrace it too much. Eventually you get better at holding it and letting it go... like a breeze of wind.

You will never forget them, you will have their memory forever. I don't know what comes after the grief of how to get through it but I'm trying to hang on with every last bit of strength I have left.
