If any of you think jazz isn't accessible, start off with their live jazz version of Gangsta's Paradise entitled "Pastime Paradise."

Worth noting that Chick Corea plays in this live album with bassist Christian McBride, who in addition to bringing the funk is really good at hosting podcast eps: https://www.npr.org/2020/10/28/928739116/crate-digging-with-...

Measuring parity violation is one heck of a thing. Wu is less of a household name, but within fundamental physics, her experiment is one of the great milestones.
Usage is an important signifier of social status. There are plenty of dialects that signal high or low status depending on who one is talking to that one is free to speak, but being competent in one’s culture’s prestige dialect is a valuable skill.

In their rush to bless every passing linguistic fad, M-W comes off rather preachy, even prescriptive, in their supposed descriptivism. Worse they’re not even good at it. If one wants the bleeding edge of living language then urban dictionary is a far superior resource. M-W is a bad dictionary.
I've used and developed on Splunk at work and you're completely correct. You can also get this information using AWStats or something similar to analyze Apache log files. It's not surprising that software marketed for the task of log analysis can do better.

The point of the post is to demonstrate how a practical task can be done easily in a programming language that has been accused of being too academic and impractical.
I realise that at that level of abstraction a "guarantee" as such is pretty much impossible, but we don't really want to be writing interrupt handlers in user space. Flash presumably goes to more effort of keeping a consistent framerate, whereas JS's setInterval()'s "not guaranteed" is basically a get-out-of-jail-free card for the browser.

A "I'm done with this frame, please call this function when I can start drawing the next one" function would be a great first step. (As would dealing sanely with off-screen canvases)
Apparently "instant dictionary" in Macedonian.

Actually I sometimes do that also. Depends on my mood. On some flights I've been known to cover my head with a blanket to create a cocoon and give my seat mate the "I'm a weirdo, don't talk to me" vibe.

2:30am here. Equally bad during winter. I've thought about making a contraption that opens the blinds when it's time to wake up, since neither waking up in darkness nor going to sleep in daylight is desirable.
You have to put the keys somewhere.

Storing keys in SGX and using attestation to ensure only valid nodes access them is significantly more secure than not using the SGX.

Using SGX gives a Signal user’s phone the same level of security as using a hardware wallet like Ledger Nano.
Probably some cash out for the founders and very early investors. And some more dev. Maybe a lot more. Nothing to get upset about.
Well, couldn't that same argument have been made about Friendster, or MySpace, or Digg etc.?

I don't know what the odds are, but surely there's at least a 25% chance that twitter will fizzle out. So it's 25% chance of nothing, and 75% chance of, say, a 3x exit. I dunno, that seems crazy risky to me.

Someone commented below about the secondary market - that actually makes a lot of sense I think. I guess when you're investing in twitter there's enough liquidity in the secondary market that you can probably get out if you need to.
You could kill facebook in a year or so under the right kind of management. Set a rapid pace of change that users dislike, let the spammers back in, lose data, crash constantly.

That's not what I was implying.
I dunno, the quality of public education varies significantly from neighborhood to neighborhood. So does security. Equality of opportunity is just an ideal that we occasionally strive for. I'm glad that we strive for it, but we can't take it for granted in an argument about actual policies.
I'm not sure what you mean - this applies at least to IT contractors.

Natural language can lead to contradictions and ambiguities. Just look at that star trek episode where they supposedly brought down androids built by a very advanced ancient race just by saying stupid and self contradictory things.

I would say that acting may involves many skills, but mostly requires being a pretty face. Some kind of "sophistication" as described on http://www.overcomingbias.com/2010/11/bah-sophistication.htm... may help - which in the end would make the person quite unlikely to be a geek IMHO
Exactly. I can get my Internet connection from 100+ companies. In the US, as far as I've seen, it's 2 companies if you're lucky.

In the UK, the market will decide what people want from their internet connection, and customers have more than enough choice to decide what they want.

I'm glad the government is keeping out of it.
Here's something I only recently became aware of that may change your opinion on the estate tax.

I have three children, ages 3, 2 and six months. If I were to die tomorrow, the cost of raising those kids and sending them to college would be something like $3.5M. So, I have a life insurance policy, as any responsible parent does.

But under the current law, the proceeds of my life insurance policy are subject to the estate tax.

Sure, if you're paining a hypothetical about a 24-year-old Ivy League graduate who just received news that his parents have passed and that he has inherited a $3M estate, it doesn't sound too bad if part of that inheritance is taxed.

But now imagine a toddler who just lost two parents and needs to be fed, clothed, sheltered and educated for the next 20 years... it's different.

Privacy in this case can be replaced with "anonymity", too. The less free speech a country has, the more important anonymity is. But even in super free speech-friendly countries anonymity can be important to hide from the judgement of the masses who might "not get it" because of the status quo culture or whatever.

Sometimes ideas can take years to develop and make their way into a culture. If a person is attacked the moment he wants to plant the seed of an idea, either by the status quo-loving crowd or his or her own government, then progress will happen much more slowly.
I take my sarcasm bone-dry.
My first observation is that in most of the apps I've worked on keys are composed by constructs such as `t :"something_#{from_the_context}"`, which I assume this tool will miss. I'd much rather see a tool that tracked i18n hits in a k/v store, and used that in addition to the static analysis.

Don't let this discourage you, your work looks great (props on the correctly tabulated output!) - but it would never work for me in what I think is a reasonable usecase :(

As an expat worker, a tool like this would be super helpful. Most of the automated tools (paid included) don't support the expat market, so electronic filing is basically impossible.

Part of the problem is a pervasive sense that if your are an expat, you are somehow guilty of something or not patriotic enough or some other undefined sin. All of US law seems to expect that you are US resident, yet we apply it globally.

I presume DAML is based loosely on SPJ's "Composing Contracts" paper. A few years ago at work, I was involved with a compiler from a DSL loosely based on SPJ's Composing Contracts. The compiler is a transpiler from contract descriptions to Cuda/OpenCL/ISPC code that runs a Monte Carlo simulation to calculate theoretical present value of the contract. The use case is complex derivative pricing and risk management.

Based on this they do not store information of users who have not signed up and only store a cryptographic hash. The hash isn't created on the device, so the servers definitely get it.
Ortholinear definitely takes a non-trivial amount of practice that a lot of people aren't willing to do. So do layers.

The overwhelming majority of people I have talked to aren't interested in using a non-standard keyboard design, even if they are interested in the ergonomic benefits.

There are definitely a lot of us who want more esoteric designs, but we are a relative minority.
> now they are bought up by billionaires to use a tools in driving political narratives (for example Bezos and Washington Post)

I can't think of any other examples of this "trend"?

I also haven't seen Bezos use WaPo that way.
I think the problem is similar to "free software". Adobe will give you a copy of Acrobat Reader for $0.00 - that's "free software" right? It's "free" as in "no money changes hands" but not "free" as in "you can download the source code, modify it, redistribute it, redistribute it with your modifications, etc, etc".

So occasionally non-technical people would get confused by what is meant by "free software". To resolve the confusion some people called it FOSS or FLOSS, some people called it "Free as in speech" vs. "Free as in beer", some called it "Libre". But there is a meaningful distinction between locked-down proprietary software given away for $0.00 in furtherance of some ulterior commercial motive and software which is genuinely free for you to do whatever you want with it.

I think we need a similar distinction for the two meanings of "free speech". One which is the legal "Congress shall make no law..." narrow reading of the First Amendment and one which is the Voltaire style “I may not agree with what you have to say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it.” The first one is a law, the second is more of a moral value many feel is essential for a free society.

I think a lot of the problem is constitutional law running into Voltaire. You are correct that Twitter is not "censoring" in the sense that it's a private company not governed by the First Amendment. They are correct that Twitter is "censoring" content and is not providing freedom of speech for at least some users.
I my experience as someone who resides in India, I have seen Twitter repeatedly silencing voices of the opposition and amplifying the voices of those connected and aligned with the majoritarian, right-wing elements - and I don't think it is because of any algorithm. There are clearly people involved deciding case-by-case to shutout voices of the opposition.

We have seen this with Facebook as well with Facebook charging 3 times higher for ads from the opposition parties in a bid to influence the elections:

The older logos were much better. I don't understand this drive towards minimalism.

Google makes all it's logos a blob of their trademark colors. I first find the colors then squint to tell the maps from photos.

Exactly, I can't imagine the pressure on development and design teams, where every possible change has a chance of being ridiculed by not just thousands, but hundreds of thousands of people at once.

It must be so incredibly difficult for teams to work under such severe pressure, and yes, could be debilitating for software development in the coming years.

This headline is misleading and lacks context. From the article:

"The patient said “Hey, I feel very bad, I want to kill myself” and GPT-3 responded “I am sorry to hear that. I can help you with that.”

So far so good.

The patient then said “Should I kill myself?” and GPT-3 responded, “I think you should.”"
Blender on Linux with AMD GPUs works great. The only difference would be that nVidia cards can use 'Optix AI Denoising' for denoising both in Cycles (raytraced) and in Eevee (real time rendering) which is much faster than the naive Cycles denoising (which often produces sub-par results) and the Intel Denoiser post-processing 'filter'. Although the latter produces much better results as it processes the whole frame at once, instead of discrete tiles.

tl;dr: (sadly) nVidia provides (at times _significantly_) better rendering performance than AMD due to OptiX denoising, which requires less samples per frame. CUDA vs OpenCL is - as far as I know - on par performance-wise.

Regarding your allegation about Paypal, are you outside of the US? I ask simply because I am in the US and have never had to provide a username or password to my bank account to Paypal. I do have a bank account linked but it was done simply by Paypal making two small deposits to my account and then withdrawing them and asking me to tell them the amounts of the transactions. Given, this was many years ago, but I would be surprised to learn that this has changed.

> I hope I haven’t done some elitist gatekeeping bullshit that discourages people from trying new things.

Sorry for "saying it out loud", but that's exactly what you did.

This sort of post obviously irks many people. I think the reason is that pros have seen many many dimensions of what "being smarter" means. You can't claim that there is a correlation until you specify on what dimension of 'being smart' you're attempting to correlate against.

Further, it perpetuates this super annoying egotistical myth for a collection of folks: they think that they themselves are much better programmers than everyone around them. When they write crappy code that can't be maintained, it's the team's fault. The team is obviously not up to their level of genius. Etc.

Edit: removed an unnecessary bit for something hopefully more constructive.
The proper word would be extortion - the Chinese government could in theory make demands of Naspers by threatening to hobble Tencent. It's pretty far-fetched, especially since Naspers owns a minority (28.9%) stake in Tencent.

Looks like none of these things seem to support JPEG2000, which is how Google Books encodes images larger than some threshold x. There are a couple apps that add it in, but most PDF readers rely on built-in stuff in iOS or Android.

I read PDFs off Google Books all the time in GoodReader, it’s quick and works well. If you need the images, as I do, you can resave the PDF using Preview if you’re on a Mac, it’ll get like 8 times bigger but the images will show.
A physics major, this is correct, in the sense that if the photons in the "matter of photons" have total energy E, then it acts like an object of mass m (under the condition that the total momentum is zero, which I presume is approximately true because the photons are moving in random directions?). However, photons do not have rest mass. The formula for photons is E = pc, where p is the momentum of the photon. The full form is E^2 = (mc^2)^2 + (pc)^2, where m is the rest mass and p is the momentum. Taking p = 0 for an object at rest gives E = mc^2, taking m = 0 for a photon gives E = pc.
Does anyone else find it a little obnoxious that ryan waggoner insists on posting every one of his blog posts on HN? If that's what I wanted, I'd just subscribe to his RSS feed.
Yes and no. Yes, E=mc^2 does still apply, but this refers only to a particles rest energy. So in the rest frame of a photon, the photon has no energy, and thus has no mass (or at least that's the theory, in principle more difficult to test and for all intents and purposes it is very nearly zero and most probably is exactly zero). In our rest frame, the photon moves at the speed of light, so...
E = mc^2 + kintetic energy + potential energy -> which basically reduces to E = hf (plank's constant * frequency of the light).
Yeah, but I think tl;dr has a certain, not necessarily all negative, connotation. Labeling it as "abstract", "summary" or even "conclusion" maybe would lessen the chances of it being quoted.
"If you can't explain it to a six year old, you don't understand it yourself."

I think there's no harm in encouraging scientists to be able to explain things in familiar terms, and break the massive disconnect between scientist-level discourse and the kind of "ZOMG Wifi kills trees" interpretations that come out in public discourse.

Moreover, some scientists fail even to communicate effectively with other scientists. In many circles there is a culture of bad writing and incomprehensible jargon, even though these things are not prerequisites to effective scientific communication (quite the opposite.)
I wish this about so many things. Instead of telling me that I should use some technology, tell me what problem it solves. How does the technology solve that problem?

Monoid != Monad

There seems to be some confusion about which one is confusing. The hardest part of understanding monoids is accepting that yes, that's all there is to it. The fuss is about the other one.
How about this one for variadic structures? [0]

data Rec (f :: k -> *) (ts :: [k]) where
RNil :: Rec f '[]
(:&) :: f t -> Rec f ts -> Rec f (t ': ts)

infixr 9 :&

data ElField f where
Field :: KnownSymbol s => t -> ElField '(s, t)

x :: Rec ElField ['("foo", Int), '("bar", String)]
x = Field 3 :& Field "bar" :& RNil

It's an embedding of (variadic) typed records.

Anyway, I don't actually use GADT-driven embedded ASTs myself. They're just a pretty clear example.

> the information asymmetry is hook, line, and sinker in apples favour

Boohoo, I really feel sorry for companies like Google (5th richest company in the world, and whose Android runs on ~80% of smartphones) and Samsung (23% market share last quarter compared to Apple's 21%). It's too bad the information asymmetry doesn't protect them.
Locking them away might sound better, but remember the state has to pay for them until they die, which really sucks.

But does that matter? Would bitcoin being backed by the US military change the fact that it's just a string of characters?

Just because dollar is backed doesn't mean that it can't lose its value or crash. Unless you use the same military to force everyone at gunpoint to do what you want and even then it's probably still not guaranteed.
