Even worse, they’re just elected from the pool of residents, right? They’re likely to not know anything about actually managing a building, are doing it as a side job, and they have limited ability to enforce things.

Just to add, things like type checking are the comparatively easy part. The world itself and many of our constructs for thinking about it are not well defined. The trouble in reconciling these things are why things like appeals courts exist

As someone with a physics degree, physicists really have a unique ability to stroke their own egos. I think I agree with the premise - structure is certainly the most important thing in our physics and machine learning. However, a significa

There’s a handful of things in a bunch of different domains, although mathy things are the most well developed. The language is definitely general purpose and suitable in a ton of different domains. It’s just going to take time for the ecos

The need for libraries is a lot different, too. In Python when you need a library what you specifically might need is a high performance Python wrapper around a C library. Just writing your own short thing isn’t an option because pure Pytho

I think the role of the aesthetic of a product is a bit under appreciated. If Safari was exactly as functional but still looked like Netscape navigator, it would negatively impact people’s opinion of the browser. It’s just like the idea tha

Consumers have driven the market into a race to the bottom. There is effectively no way for the consumer to really know about the comparative difference in living conditions between two packs of meat. There is really no way at all to know t

Working with your hands is a practical skill that takes significant time and effort to become good at. I, personally, am terrible at it. I am highly educated, though. There are what, maybe 2.5 school years of degree related work in a STEM d

Apparently the only way that umpires would check was if an opposing coach complained. Opposing coaches never complained because they knew their own players were doing it, too. The league stepping in insures there won’t be any fear of that s

Sure, but evidence from last several millennia also show they haven’t kept people healthy quite as long.

This system sounds like would be gamed just like how property taxes are now: bogus assessments. At least income and sales have a clear, non-subjective value in dollars.

Theranos was magic tech that they managed to never have to prove worked. We’ve been building supersonic jets for a very long time.

“Could be ready” falls pretty short of making a promise. I’m not sure what giving them a pass really entails. If they’re late to market it costs them money. Are you going to boycott using their product if it is good but late?

This post would be a lot more persuasive if you: 1. Suggested a way that a study like this could feasibly be executed as a RCT. 2. Directly addressed parts of the study that you thought were insufficiently modeled. I think the reality is th

When/if used properly, no. The idea behind PCA is to find a set of features with far less dimensionality than the original data. The hope/intent with this sort of approach is that any more fitted features are just fitting noise.

The ditch diggers dug the trenches to run internet to your home. Your internet connection has only went up in value/utility, yet the people who dig those trenches now don’t make any more than they did before. The idea that employees ar

Probably a majority of people held opinions like that extremely recently. Like, the 2000s or maybe later recent. There are still a ton of people who think like that, and you only really need one for it to become a hostile environment.

I think this is confusing, but the Apple TV app is different than the streaming service Apple TV+. The app is meant to be a centralized location for access to all TVs and movies across all services. It also keeps track of your progress on w

If you’re so attached to that data, you should probably do something to save it other than let it sit in RAM or maybe an old plot in a random notebook.

Working in a nonlinear manner is the whole point of Pluto. You can modify some intermediate processing in the script and none of the upstream cells, like loading the data, will run again. I also don’t need to fish through the whole damn not

That workflow has worked for me for Julia in Spacemacs and VS Code. Pretty sure it works in Atom, too.

The fact that Pluto only runs dependent cells on changes mostly solves this for me. For example, a cell can load things into the variable data, and then another cell can apply a function f(data). If I alter f, data is not reloaded and f(dat

Why are interest rates still so low?

Corollary: With the interest rates so low, I don’t understand how wages are so low that collecting unemployment is more attractive than working.

Even more specifically, the only time I’ve ran into Gatekeeper is with apps that install into /Applications and have a GUI. I’ve never had this issue with stuff I only access via CLI.

Just do it all yourself then? It doesn’t seem unreasonable that the creators of this want to make a little money off of something that almost certainly took a lot of their time. If the markup is too high you’re welcome to assemble your own.
