It seems kind of like how incorrect news about science becomes “common knowledge”. This person probably saw someone else post this, and now they’re just parroting it back. That other person, they might have had it from a news article. Or ma

This is probably very difficult, but wouldn’t it be interesting to write a program that generates the minimal function that matches a given decision table? I imagine with current techniques this would only be possible for very simple functi

I see. I had only looked at the source code of the Nodejs competitor. To be fair the point still stands that you need to read the source to know what is really being measured.

Ah yeah just so you know there is a lot more to building a self driving car system than the general knowledge held in the head of the lead engineer. It is unlikely that he would have known even a tenth of the systems involved in the waymo p

I actually looked at this before making my other comment. You’re absolutely right about the salt. One of the go benchmarks is basically pure cgo using vector intrinsics. It naturally blows idiomatic JS out of the water. So you might get tho

Nodejs might also be a good option. It’s comparable to go on a core for core basis, and IIRC GOMAXPROCS is 1 on GAE.

You shouldn’t read “causes” as “is the exclusive cause of” pretty much ever.

It’s probably more that people getting dementia now received damage 20-30 years ago which took time to manifest. That and varying diagnostic criteria and other variables like fitness.

“Despite retail investors losing millions” hrm? Nobody has been losing millions lately.

It does bear some similarity to tv tropes. One thing I really like about this list is how focused it is. It’s nothing but high level plot points. No digression, and nothing really obscure. Pretty much any good guys and bad guys story is goi

I’m tech literate and they don’t phase me either. Why would they? My business is already in the streets. What does it matter if one more company leaks my personal info?

Because no one uses it.

> Where would they get that data? The gmail product forums, monitoring sites like reddit, HN, and Twitter, focus groups and UX studies, internal dogfooders and trusted external testers, metrics from experimental or holdback groups, etc.

Same. I’m actually at google but I’m not going to tell the gmail team about this post because 1. I don’t agree with it, and 2. Gmail team is already painfully aware that any given change will be unappealing to a subset of users. 3. They are

I don’t think that everyone feels how the person in the article does. But from talking to my friends, most people think less of themselves, socially, than they think of others.

Could be real, but I’m not sure how much signal investment gives. Even without theranos level fraud, investors throw money at long shots all the time.

Presumably they at least controlled for age race and socioeconomic level. If they didn’t then the results are very suspicious.

If they had studied number of mosquito bites received and the probability of autism, would they have gotten the same result? Or if they studied outdoor air temperature during pregnancy and autism, would they have seen a link? Probably ... s

Depends on exactly what the rule is. If the rule is something like, “any view where the customer is choosing a movie to watch, you have to show at least thirty percent local films,” Netflix would not need to trim the catalogue. They could j

To be satisfied means having one’s own needs or desires met. What we are optimizing for, in this case, is people’s self-reported evaluation of their own value function. That being said, I think there is merit to your second point, although

Hrm. In hindsight, it seems obviously preferable that the public got to view this dossier. It would have been hard to have an informed opinion about e.g. the Strozk situation without knowing about the dossier and it’s contents.

I don’t know. This represents a kind of Coaseian solution for the provision of a public good. There’s nothing wrong with alternative funding models. Another example which we don’t see much of in the us is direct government funding of media,

Not interested, personally. I can only picture being made worse off by being in a union. Fortunately, it’s insanely difficult to get well-paid ambitious people to join a union, so there is little danger I’ll come closer to experiencing a te
