Of course it is a threat, because it doesn't stop here. Apple is showing that non-Intel CPU's can be incredibly good. That is obviously bad for Intel.

A friend is asking: "When will it be finished?"

By which he means, "When will it be populated with more data?"

I presume he's asking as his particular place of interest won't let him view 3d or pointmap views.

Thanks!

Ever stuck your finger in a fan with a metal blade?

I have, know what happened? Nothing.

I have a couple 80-100 year old GE fans. Putting your finger in the front doesn't do anything but push it out. Which makes sense if you look at the shape of the blades. The side and back are a little scarier, but i'm guessing unless you really jab it in fast, or get unlucky in some way the worse that will happen is some scraped up skin. They are definitely not _designed_ to sever fingers, for that you need a tablesaw. And none of them have enough rotating mass or HP that you can't stick your finger in the back and actually stop them by keeping your finger against the blades as they try and push your finger.

So, I'm not saying it cant happen, but your kid probably has a greater chance of losing a finger in your car door, or various other places like that before you have to worry about the fans. If you want to experiment with this find something approximating a finger and give it a try, maybe the woody bits of a leftover piece of asparagus.
In a longer live context(more data crunching) Rust will win by even a greater margin, as performance improvements will compound. I know from benchmarking various Rust vs Go vs Node.js scenarios, and as the volume of data increases Node.js's performance gets worse.
I find it difficult to believe that progress stopped at some point in the later 70's
Perhaps a better question: can it start in under 30 seconds? If you don't use Nautilus for your desktop, opening those file browser windows is a serious drag!
I'm assuming that the computer is running Windows and that you don't have something useful like an sshd, telnetd, or VNC client running on it. The IP address is only useful if you can connect to the computer in some way.

The one thing you know is that the mail reader is still running. Working on the assumption that it can't hurt, maybe craft a mail to the account to either fool the thief into installing software like Prey discussed on other comments here or to fool the thief into telling you where he or she is.

For the first one, just send out a mail saying something like "Click this link to install HOT VIRTUAL PORN". Make it look like the average spam mail (though not spammy enough to get filtered). Obviously you would need to repackage the Prey installer as some sort of porn software installer, which may be easy or hard depending on how silent the original installer is.

For the second one, post a Craigslist or equivalent ad offering to buy a laptop computer like your friend's. Then send a mail to your friend's account as yourself saying "hey, I saw this ad and I know you're looking to unload that old laptop of yours, so thought you would be interested".

If people fall for Nigerian 419 scammers, maybe your thief will fall for this. Assuming he's reading your e-mail.
Yeah I'm running the EPE54b image and I need to root to get the unofficial/unreleased/leaked Google image.
Maybe it's not available, but I've already been fixing problems with my apps that are showing up on 2.2 devices. Customers are emailing already, so it's getting out there.
Nautilus is always going to be hobbled by the huge padding that gnome's default themes put between text and object borders. It's just hard when you can only fit 50% as much information in the same number of pixels. That was one of the big things that drove me away from Linux and is still an ongoing problem when I have to work with Gnome programs.
I think that bias makes sense: if you have 0% competence it's hard to underestimate, and if you're at 100% competence it's hard to overestimate. So if we assume that they're truncated normal curves and translate them into a simple average, that's what we'll get.
"We've been hacked" just sounds so much better than "we were too cheap to pay for all our loyal supporters."
Because good looks don't necessarily equate to good performance. They optimize for conversion, not beauty, and make an ass-load more money because of it. That's how it should be done.
Nutmeg infused honey... sounds delicious.

EDIT: That article was fascinating. I had never heard of that practice. Now I am feeling weird for daydreaming about doing this when I am ~90...
Since I obviously have some OSM developers in the room, can somebody point me to the right place to query against OSM mapping data? That is, if I want to get all one-way streets and stop-lights within my area, how do I do that? I've tried the various tools that send you a subset of the map (they don't seem to work) and the "download the whole OSM map and play with the XML" seems like a good way to choke on the data... Anybody got pointers?
The 3d view, http://www.asterank.com/3d is very snazzy.
Wow, that's cool. I live in Richmond, VA, and it looks like all of the rentals come from just a few places: lowes and home depot are obvious. I found United Rentals through your site though. It would be nice to book immediately from your site, because otherwise I'll probably just skip your site and call the company directly after I use your site once to discover the rental companies.

Also, I expected a bunch of tools to be listed on this page: https://www.rentabilities.com/united-rentals-richmond-va/. It took me a little bit to figure out to click a category on the left.

I noticed your site is responsive, too. A random technical point is that you would probably benefit from concatenating all of your js/css into 2 js/css files, since on mobile latency is critical.

It's a cool idea though.
Unfortunately, that video makes a lot more sense only if you understand quantum mechanics or quantum computation.

The video doesn't realy describe what quantum computation is but it rather describes what feature of QM makes quantum computers different from classical computers (superposition and quantum correlations) and why is it so difficult to build or use a quantum computer (decoherence, and the fact that you can't observe or clone the "registers" at intermediate stages in a computation).

The video addresses the notion of quantum computing quite obliquely. I would expect this to be the first of a multi-part series where this is explored in more depth (especially given the attention it's receiving).
Note 'anarcho-communism', not -capitalism. In fairness, I am opposed to anarcho-capitalism for the reason you outlined above:

> namely that money tends to lead to more money

In general, yes - there is no such thing as "panaceatic system", instead I was suggesting to trying to find different methods, organization structures to lower the possibility of (or in ideal world eliminating) power accumulation.
This is why I'm done with the two-party system. Both parties are the same; the only difference is where they stand on (largely) irrelevant hot-button issues.

Obama bothers me most of all because Candidate Obama was exactly what I wanted. Transparent. Forward-thinking. Respectful of individual rights. Willing to dismantle systems that denied rights to perceived enemies, both foreign and domestic.

And then this fellow who looked and sounded like Candidate Obama started in as President of the United States, and we found exactly where the buck stops - not with the supposed head of the free world, but with the practically invisible collection of people and corporations that work behind the scenes to operate the puppets we vote for.

It's sad. It's also not new. What is new, however, is our ability to communicate via non-centralized channels. It allows us to know that the wool is being pulled over our eyes and, with any luck, start more and more to pull it away.
That's a very good point, and not one which my proposal addresses at all: in order to do what I suggest, your browser still needs to communicate with various ad exchanges.
Hi Michael, would you mind explaining your rationale? In particular, why would you believe his bet and still be a VC?
Last time I checked V-Lang looked amazing on paper but on closer evaluation many of the claimed features were only planned, crashed the compiler on trivial inputs, or simply were half-baked and didn't deliver on the promises (things like syntax errors from the underlying C backend, memory leaks etc. because transpilation was straightforward and lacked proper checks, hence the fast compilation speed). A few months ago I superficially skimmed through their GitHub repo and it left an impression that it's still a toy language with same problems as back in 2020, although with some improvements (but it's just my impression), many ideas being borrowed from Go and Rust. From what I also found odd is that the author is overly fixated on their transpilation speed for some reason (i.e. IIRC citing V -> C translation only, without the C -> binary part), they have a few repos written in V and one of the main selling points there is compilation speed as well - probably at the expense of other features, because they don't do deep analysis (hence C compiler errors on trivial inputs). It struck me as something odd because I find memory safety, thread safety and overall stability more important than a few saved seconds of compilation.

I will be more than happy to learn that I am wrong and the situation has considerably improved, but other than that infamous GitHub issue "The language is not what is promised", I haven't seen a more recent (as of 2022) objective, skeptical analysis of the language by someone from outside their community. Maybe someone has links?

I work from home as a freelancer. As a freelancer I can decide to stop working when the job is done. This is completely different when you work for a boss. Then you start 'spreading' work over 8 hours per day. When you are in a office you don't notice this much because you have interaction with colleagues. But when you are alone at home you might start to wonder: why am I sitting behind my screen all day while I can do this job in 4 hours or less.

And as others comment: the pandemic is also what influenced your mood. You sound a little down. And I think that is normal because most restrictions during the pandemic were very destructive for society.

One fix for procrastination is to think about the first step for something you would like to do. Do you want to go walking outside: the first step is to put shoes on. Start doing only that and the rest will follow.
I feel far more productive working from home, both professionally and personally. I keep a running list of the tasks I want to accomplish. It includes my work, my hobbies, exercise, and my chores around the home. I just keep working that list, almost constantly, and get more done than I ever did while in an office. Because there is a variety of work and fun on the list, I don't get burned out. I also don't get overwhelmed because aside from updating the list, I focus on one task at a time. I do take breaks to just relax and spend time with family, of course.

Working from home can turn into a blur of you do not manage your work and your time somehow. For some people, that just try to replicate the office and work 9-5 with some activity to replace the commute to give themselves a psychological distance from their "home" time. But I've found that the most productive remote workers are the ones who work a few hours at a time, a few times a day, and live their own life outside of those working times.

I'd recommend playing with different schedules to find on that works for you, and be deliberate about what you are doing - work when you are working, play when you are playing, relax when you are relaxing.
When your brain dies, depending on what the issue is, your brain no longer works under normal circumstances.

If your heart stops, oxygen is going down, it could just mean that your brain regularitory features stop working as designed and it's firering more random.

More random / lsd / drugs can give you weird effects. Optical, sensorical etc. illusions.
BeOS, obviously.
You don't really have to give up on OTR, but OTR has to get a lot more user-friendly for that use case. Right now it breaks all over the place, and with some really obvious bad UX, too.
I don't even use Dropbox, but you made me feel bad because I have an account and used the free space a few years ago, so now I'm pro. Damn you!

Totally worth it for their checkout process though, the way it automatically switched to "Visa" is a card starts with a 4 is awesome.

When it comes to investigating these sorts of thing, gray areas often pop up. Now, is fetching the payload yourself and hosting it for the world without the author's in this gray area? Probably not, definitely in the very light side of things if it is at all. It's not completely unworthy of thought and consideration however.

>wasn't really funny

Well, that's your opinion, and you are welcome to it. Do try not to be so puzzled that other people don't share your sense of humor though.
The link provides access to documents discussing attrition bias in the original Rand survey. In summary, statistical analysis indicates that patients in the high co-pay groups dropped out at a greater rate when they required hospitalization.

Newhouse also writes:
"All the Experimental cost-sharing plans had a stop-loss feature that was at most $1,000 for medical spending for the entire family for a year and less for lower income families. (The $1,000 is in late 1970s dollars, which is about $3,400 in 2007 dollars if one inflates by the all-items Consumer Price Index.)"

In other words,the cap on out of pocket expenses was roughly equivalent to three or four months worth of family health insurance premiums in today's market.
Yes of course it's not easy but it's the job of a teacher... And, in that case, the teacher didn't even make the effort to design test questions; he took the easy way out and didn't do his job...

Of course, the problem too is that too often teachers are researchers foremost and for them teaching is a requirement that they'd love to get rid of... I'm not sure how to solve that, because I do think that in a lot of cases it's good that university teachers contribute to research...
Some students have blamed Quinn, accusing him of misleading them and being lazy. They posted clips from the first class's lecture, in which Quinn can be seen telling his students that he is responsible for creating the test. The students have tried to use this statement to justify their acts; since Quinn told them he would be writing the exam, they did not think the prefab version they were using to study would be used. "After seeing that, it was safe for us to assume that having it online, having it e-mailed to you, whatever it was, wasn't the test,” one student told the Associated Press. “No student knew that was the test, and that's what we continue to say over and over." The university has rejected that argument. "Let's be sure to keep the focus where it belongs," Heston told the Orlando Sentinel. "Not on the instructor who administered the test but on those students who chose to acquire the test beforehand and use it inappropriately."

If that I understand that correctly - the professor used pre-fab questions from the publisher - then I have difficulty putting any blame on the students. That material is not a secret. It does not require subterfuge to gain access to the teacher version of textbooks. If you pull all of your test questions from such a database, then you are vulnerable to this.

I have taught one course as an instructor. I made my own test from scratch. The same is true for all of the classes I have TAed. Our department has a stated policy that using prior exams to study is fair game.

I took a stats class where our final consisted of questions from the book - and we knew this. I was going through the book while studying, saw a question and thought "That looks like one he'd ask us." and I figure the problem out. That exact same question was on the test. Unless there's some fundamental fact I'm missing, I consider that a similar enough situation to treat them the same.
I KNOW -- I was just tweeting about this! Seriously - go check out my twits.

routing should be 'sticky' to an ip address; connections to any given ip address should use the same outbound route for the duration of that connection.

from http://wiki.openwrt.org/doc/howto/mwan3

Linux outgoing network traffic load-balancing is performed on a per-IP connection basis – it is not channel-bonding, where a single connection (e.g. a single download) will use multiple WAN connections simultaneously
I don't know for certain whether or not they accounted for it, but I'm inclined to believe that your suggestion isn't the contributing factor to the reduced calories. I've read about this effect before, except with reheated pasta instead of rice (both seem rather similar to me) and the pasta was due to the resistant starches as well. This is the article that I read it in before [0].

They've certainly got lots of other herbicides in their pipeline... And, their glyphosate patents expired a while ago. Banning Roundup is good for them, because now they can sell a whole new herbicide/herbicide protection system.

If Monsanto was subjected to any meaningful penalties it might not be a win for them, but we all know the likelihood of that happening.
You have to ask yourself if it's easier to get all browser vendors to agree on an intermediate language or to get them to agree on new apis that makes javascript better for that purpose.
In what case(s) did you get a 200% increase in conversion, and what's your explanation of that effect?
Not really, no. It just requires recognising that corporations are not people and thus don’t deserve freedom of speech protection. especially big corporations, which should definitely be considered “serving the public good” and therefore under even greater scrutiny.
A conviction would prevent him from holding office again, and it doesn't have to be completed by the time he leaves his current office.
Just to illustrate, some pretend-analogous run time type-inspect based dispatch code in python (a language not known for its blazing speed) is still much, much faster than this:

In [3]: timeit a = [1]; a.__len__() if type(a) is list else len(a)
126 ns ± 0.615 ns per loop (mean ± std. dev. of 7 runs, 10000000 loops each)

Social networks are much more informal than the other tools at the disposal of a president, unlike press releases or conferences. They can also be diffused widely and in a very short amount of time.

(but then the question is? is that a good thing? or having a failsafe as a good press secretary is a better idea, even if we get to know less about what a politician really thinks)
We could start by not ignoring recommendation/amplification algorithms, especially when they clearly amplify bad arguments and obscure better arguments.
I struggled with this for a long time, and I have now found a solution that works sometimes (ie as long as I don't sabotage myself):

I bought an alarm clock. Basic $10 Casio thing, but anything else is also fine as long as it's "dumb". After a certain time in the evening, and in the morning before I eat breakfast, nothing with an internet connection is allowed in my bedroom. That's my reading time.

It's actually more difficult for me as my bedroom is also my office, so I need to unplug my laptop and put it in the living room overnight, but someone living in a bigger house/apartment than me would not have that particular issue.
>"For van Luijt, this was an "Aha" moment. Like everyone else working in technology,

he had to deal with lots of unstructured data.

In his words, relating data is a problem. Data integration is hard to do, even for structured data. When you have unstructured data from different sources, it becomes extremely challenging.

Van Luijt read up on RankBrain and figured it uses word vectorization to infer relations in the queries and then try to present results. Vectors are how machine learning models understand the world. Where people see images, for example, machine learning models see image representations, in the form of vectors.

A vector is a very long list of numbers, which can be thought of as coordinates in a geometrical space. Three-dimensional vectors -- i.e. vectors of the form (X, Y, Z) -- correspond to a space humans are familiar with. But multi-dimensional vectors also exist, and this complicates things:

"There are many dimensions, but to paint a mental picture, you can say there's just three dimensions. The problem now is, it's great that you can use a vector to recognize a pattern in a photo and then say, yes, it's a cat, or no, it's not a cat. But then, what if you want to do that for one hundred thousand photos or for a million photos? Then you need a different solution, you need to have a way to look into the space and find similar things."

This is what Google did with RankBrain for text. Van Luijt was intrigued. He started experimenting with Natural Language Processing (NLP) models. He even got to ask Google's people directly: Were they going to build a B2B search engine solution? Since their reply was "no," he set out to do that with Weaviate.

Searching the document space with vectors

NLP machine learning models output vectors: They place individual words in a vector space. The idea behind Weaviate was:

What if we take a document -- an email, a product, a post, whatever -- look at all the individual words that describe it and calculate a vector for those words.

This will be where the document sits in the vector space. And then, if you ask, for example: What publications are most related to fashion? The search engine should look into the vector space, and find publications like Vogue, as being close to "fashion" in this space.

This is at the core of what Weaviate does. In addition, data in Weaviate are stored in a graph format. When nodes in the graph are located, users can traverse further and find other nodes in the graph.

It's not that it isn't possible to store vectors in traditional databases. It is, and people do that. But after a certain point, it becomes impractical. Besides performance, complexity is also a barrier. For example, van Luijt mentioned, in most cases, people are not privy to the details of how vectorization happens.

Weaviate comes with a number of built-in vectorizers. Some are general-purpose, some are tailored to specific domains such as cybersecurity or healthcare.

A modular structure enables people to plugin their own vectorizers, too."

PDS: In the above context,

"Vectorizer" = "Domain Specific Search Engine"
