I wrote that I am against the current legal retaliations for exactly the reason you describe.

Yes they do. I don't know why but I really should just stop using these forums.

Another criticism of this haste is that you set yourself up to be taken advantage of by profiteers or genuine malicious actors. I understand the urgency to save lives as soon as possible; but the risk is high and uncertain.

I wonder if the personality test Amazon has during the prelim-interview can detect if you've read such books in the past.

Federated Learning[1] you can train across multiple customer data by sending the in-training model to every device, then exfiltrating only the backprop adjustments you get back. In-theory, user data never leaves the device. In-practice, the backprop data has the information encoded within it to an extent, it's very difficult to secure.

Yes, youtube links to it below many "conspiracy theory" videos

The rich/poor gap in the vaccine debate is pretty shocking. Not just these legal fines (cheap if you're rich), but the "alternative vaccine schedule" that some (very few) doctors recommend is also expensive and not covered by commoner insurance.

What causes that need? Your job requires it? Or your social group will ostracize if you don't keep up?

To twist this slightly more positively: standups where remote or wfh people can join in and watch silently, and instead of forcing everyone to say something, just let people share what they want. And have a doc of notes for people who missed it and care. Way better than traditional standups.

I feel this too, the "Tools -> Results within the Last Year" (&tbs=qdr:y) is necessary for searching programming issues these days.

This was a conscious decisions by the developers of these libraries, characterized by the cultural shift from GPLv1 to LGPL, explicitly to allow closed-source releases that build on open-source libraries.

Random forests produce the same kind of decision trees that used to be hand-crafted, but admittedly, the ones they generate look distinctly "non-human"

The exploding tooth thing is true, caused by gases released by the decay building up pressure, can be very very painful: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barodontalgia#Barotrauma

Self-fulfilling prophecy, probably a reason you want to be in this trap

I can't picture what percentiles look like, but $120k in SF was a hard life compared to the $90k in Seattle I get now. And I consider myself plenty rich.

Might be wrong, Co-Bots start at $35k and Kukas are custom-built, often get over 6 figures.

I don't support CO2 pollution, but yes, the period of the Younger Dryas experienced global shift of 2.5 degrees celsius within hundreds, or perhaps possible singles of years, of presumed natural causes.

Sorry if this is nonsense, are these semirings a form of "Kernel (linear algebra)"? They seem superficially similar at least, a normalized matrix which can serve as an operation applied stepwise to a larger dataset.

I imagine it's a huge success metrics-wise. The infinite scroll and bright pictures, even the sizing of the preview boxes as 2/3s screen height, it's perfectly tuned to maximize user engagement time. And since they put extra effort into maintaining the old design, they seem to have lost few users if any. Few companies have pulled off a successful transition like this.

I believe these use FreeDict project https://github.com/freedict/fd-dictionaries but I'm not sure how change requests flow down or upstream.

There is a very small risk that artificial transgenic DNA sequences can cause "transformation" (horizontal gene transfer) from the genetically modified plant to wild bacteria, with unknown consequences.

"computer" is also from Latin "computare"

Can Google/Facebook/Twitter be considered "uncensored internet"? To what degree is a culture's view of moderate speech different than its influence of "soft power"?

I'm new to it myself, but it seems difficult to navigate the minefield of LTCI, particularly the Daily Benefits payouts available are around $200/day, which is lower than the cost of many facilities.

If it's work-induced I think a separate label helps the discussion.

The article uses the term "government" but the citation refers to Tencent doing this voluntarily, as a form of preemptive self-regulation. The distinction is blurred but this does not appear to be a law or public policy at the moment.
