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 oth…

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 t…

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 ha…

https://benchmarksgame-team.pages.debian.net/benchmarksgame/... It’s fifty percent faster than the competing java program.

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 natural…

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 fitne…

“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 …

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 tes…

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 …

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.

I need this taped on the ceiling above my bed, to my door, to my office, etc.

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 pregn…

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,…

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 …

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 witho…

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 …

> That's indeed the traditional rationale for MAD and the development of nerve gas, biological weapons, and hydrogen bombs. The problem with this argument is that anybody can use i…
