It's super interesting to watch the reaction of the US blogosphere to EU laws. I feel like I'm learning a lot about US culture just by observing the general attitude that seems to be coalescing against things like GDPR. I used to

Wonderful wonderful website. What happends to quirky people like this when they leave university and enter the industry?

How much lower must immigration-overhead get before employers feel like half productive US workers are not worth the tradeoff against desperately dedicated internationals, geez louise.

What an unnecessarily broad heuristic. I can only assume the author is trying to do (faux) wisdom signaling by making such a needlessly general rule.

I'll give you a much higher life-changing-amplitude if you relax the one-book constraint. One book and I can give you something that might impact your life a few months, but that you'll likely forget afterwards. Allow me to sugges

There were, but it hasn't caught on long term. I don't think the "iPhone excess" will either.

Sorry, people were saying this about the iPad Pro. I've updated my post.

Everyone thought people were going to make tampon jokes about the iPad Pro ("maxipad"), but as far as I know it hasn't caught on. I don't think this will either, for the same reason. People who buy the phone won't c

Woah, papers on "dark motives", that sounds interesting. Anyone know of any other good papers on hidden motives similar to this one?

I don't think memetics is applicable in this case since the idea assumed he was born and raised back when his grandparents were. (Same sperm and egg, different culture.) Maybe you're right about epigenetics though, I don't kn

If you'd grown up in that environment, then yes, of course you would be the same as them back then. Genetics certainly hasn't changed much in two generations.

I totally agree that it's a systemic problem and that society shouldn't ignore it. I'm not trying to shift blame from institution to individuals, it's just that I myself have noticed that thinking too much about how this

I used to read articles like this and feel like it gave me some excuse for feeling terrible myself. But then I realized that, nah, I have to just take responsibility for this on my own. Exersize and good (carb limited) diet and a good amoun

You shouldn't be sad by articles like this, but it can prove a valuable lesson for why things actually fail in practice (rather than in theory), which is why you shouldn't ignore it.

I'm glad they did the study, but be careful about confusing these numbers with the truth. There's obviously an incentive for C-level executives to exaggerate (when asked) how much of a labour shortage there is compared to reality.

What makes you assume people consider their actions before they perform them?

You're comparing your accomplishments to the rest of society. If you feel like you haven't used your last two decades appropriately, and feel like you could really use a couple centuries, remember that if that were the case, every

An excellent way to make kids as bored or afraid of engineering as they are of mathematics. As a coder who'd only like his wage to get higher this is wonderful news, I fully endorse it.

There would be an industry around it if there was an incentive to produce titles like that. But most authors probably want to avoid cutesy pop-culture-referential names because it signals unprofessionalism.

Care to share a link to your licensed ML product, for those of us who're curious? Got any tips for people who are playing with the idea of doing something similar?

I feel like I hear just as many people getting degrees in "AI" nowdays as plain CS degrees. A much higher percentage than five years ago. It feels like everyone and their grandma is minoring or majoring in AI or machine learning.

I don't think it's unreasonable that SF has an anomalously high flaking rate compared to cities in the rest of the US. I don't have data on it, but I don't think it's a statement that's so unlikely to be true t

by tw1010 8y ago
I'd be even more curious in an answer to the question of why you think this article tries to convey the idea that SF is special. She lives in this city, she interested in the flaking phenomena. She's said not a word about the city

by tw1010 8y ago
It's pretty brave of her actually to say that she's experienced a lot of flaking. Highly desired individuals probably don't get flaked very often, so admitting you get flaked about 50% of the time is kind of admitting that yo

What if you'd make it so that "normal" (non-anomalous) was defined like it is today (rather than how it was 1880)? Would that make the animation look like it's gone from super bad to super good?

Don't leave us hanging like that. Please link to the subreddit.

I think it's nice that we have both. I don't think there's any risk that this format will replace text articles overall. (If for no other reason than that the economics just won't make sense in all places.)
