Ironically, Canon was the first company to really release an affordable consumer DSLR. I suspect their lens lineup choices are probably biased toward pro/prosumer full frame and mass market APS-C. Relatively inexpensive zooms are going to be a lot more popular on Rebels than primes are.
This article is pretty good:

It's pretty much dead simple though, basically you put in a path like "/feed.rss", you can also use wildcards like "/feeds/*" and then set up a configuration for it including parameters like cache time and security level. In the case of a feed, high caching and minimum security are probably reasonable for most sites. Free users are limited to only a few rules (5 I think), but paying even for the cheapest plan removes the limit.
Bad actors exist. Hence why with every new technology comes new responsibility to use it properly - from nuclear fission to robotics to neural networks. That doesn't mean we need to reference how WW2 Nazis would use it every time a new technology is developed.
Very helpful -- this points out that this is a very focused tool on simple calculations of test statistics. They appear in papers formatted very strictly, like this:

t(37) = −4.93, p <.001

or:

χ2(1, N = 226) = 6.90, p <.01.

Because of the strict format and the limited scope of the tool, one would suspect the false positive rate is very low. And because it's just a simple calculation (not a matter of interpretation), authors should not (in theory) be offended by getting a notice.

What's the difference between this and the PGE api?
Sure, it's inevitable that, in some cases, eventually someone will have to go back to check notes because some factor mattered when no one thought to write it down.

But there's a difference between that, vs "we expect that someone will have to make personal contact with the original researchers in order to replicate it".

If you're explaining away replication failures by such non-contact (as the quote is), that's confirmation of a problem (in keeping with the standards of science), not a vindication of the results.

There's an additional danger of making it so that "you can't replicate until you have social contact with the original researchers". That way lies favoritism: it's harder to criticize someone as you get closer to them socially, and they can withhold the capability of criticism by not engaging the critics.

The other part of the tradeoff is that inserts and many other write operations are less expensive in heap tables. A Big Table in InnoDB, measured in "when do I start having to spend a lot of time troubleshooting this table's performance" is about 1% the size of a Big Table in Postgres. TokuDB was introduced for MySQL for a reason.

Heap vs. Index organization is a classic tradeoff of database design.

Now, if you're saying "it would be really nice if Postgres had the option of index-organized tables" I'd agree with you. I'd love to have that, as an option.

I read through this and I still have no idea what they actually applied the idea of the blockchain to within healthcare. To an HIE? Does each patient receive their own "wallet" that is their patient record? This just seems to be a generic overview of EHRs/Blockchains within the same page.
You make a very good point, but we can amend (http://paulgraham.com/disagree.html) the GP's argument to say that such macroscopic holes are not very impressive. Now if they were as small as those in balsa, and invisible to the eye... then on a macroscopic level it would appear to be superlight metal. It could also help that the holes are sufficiently small as to not percolate (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Percolation_theory).

It's definitely a per-ship thing, because there are several episodes where they have to down/upload updated data to/from the Federation (at least in TNG canon).

I also think the comparison isn't perfect, because Federation vessels (in my mind) are similar to today's Navy vessels. All onboard systems are connected to other onboard, but opsec demands the ship systems not be influenced by external actors.

I don't think most cells would have accumulated mutations. Sequencing DNA from several samples should still give a pretty clear result.
The sort of question for yourself to take away from this is "what does 'natural lifespan' mean?"

Obviously it has been a long time since humans have experienced a natural lifespan in the one rigorous no-technology definition of the term. Is maximum lifespan moving much? Hard to say. The data gets really sparse out beyond 110, where estimated mortality rates are 50%+/yr, and really sparse the further back in time you look.

So it isn't unreasonable to hold the position that maximum life span is increasing, but slowly. Adult life expectancy at 60 is going up a year every decade, but there are so few people living to > 115 that you can't really say much about their statistics. Maybe that is going up too.

Equally it isn't unreasonable to hold the position that transthyretin amyloid aggregation is a fairly equitable process that will absolutely kill everyone prior to 130. That it acts as a hard full stop on how far you can get with, even if you avoid everything else. (That this form of amyloid is what kills the majority of supercentenarians is the conclusion drawn from the limited autopsy data for people that old).

This of course is because no currently available medical technology greatly impacts transthyretin amyloid (though Pentraxin Therapeutics completed initial human trials of a clearance therapy in 2015 - stuck in regulatory/Big Pharma hell, but it works). You can be as heavily treated with the best of medicine as you like, but that amyloid is still accumulating, and eventually it clogs your cardiovascular system and you die.

If there was no transthyretin amyloid in the picture, I'd wager we'd have 120yr-olds in the same way that we have 110yr-olds today - a larger number of them, but still small. We'd also have 10-20% less heart disease at all ages, and a range of other conditions that are caused in old people by this form of amyloid. Amyloid clearance is a good thing, there should be more support for it.
How is spam and abuse handled in this system?
"What would the Nazis do with this?" is not wholly inappropriate. It's basically a way of looking at the worst case failure mode, like asking "what would happen to this nuclear reactor if all cooling and backup systems fail at once?" or "what happens to people in the capsule if the rocket explodes during max-Q?"

In this case it's "what's the danger of all this lazily deployed insecure ubiquitous surveillance gear in a political worst case scenario like a descent into totalitarianism, mafia statism, etc.?" That's not an unlikely thing. Complex societies undergo bouts of collective insanity or descents into pervasive corruption with disturbing regularity on historical time scales.

Personally I think the USA is one 9/11 scale (or worse) terrorist attack or one seriously painful economic crash away from an American Putin or Chavez (or worse). Which we get depends on which side manages to field the most charismatic demagogue. If that happens all this total surveillance stuff will be mobilized against dissenters on an industrial scale and with a significant amount of public support.

You limit things like surveillance to limit moral hazard. Future generations are likely to look back on the wanton deployment of all this stuff and say "what were they thinking!??!?"

The genetic basis of longevity is highly debatable. But anyways, just sequence her kids. Not that it matters so much, since even if we had that information we wouldn't know what to do with it.

QuakeLive is basically dead due to id mismanagement (which QuakeLive is essentially Q3 + a CPMA-like mod), I switched to Nexuiz/Xonotic because QW died, and Q3's community is finally dying off.

There's Reflex, but that community never really seemed to form, and there's also the newly announced Quake Champions game that is basically a QuakeLive-esque game via Doom 4's multiplayer engine (whereas Doom 4's multiplayer gameplay as-is is a lot like classic Doom/Doom 2 multiplayer).

I'm looking forward to Quake Champions, but I'm afraid all the younger kids are going to bring too much salt to make it worth investing time into.

Off the top of my head: If you look at studies of sense of personal space, Americans and criminals generally claim more space as "theirs" than most people. So, we may like our homes to be away from other things because we get cranky and aggressive when anyone gets in our space.

Get people writing new papers to use statcheck before they publish.

The only rudeness here was an avoidable choice - publishing statcheck's results on a huge set of already published papers. The statcheck authors chose to do that for exposure, they even said so, it was not for posterity or the scientific well being of the community.

I don't personally think what they did was wrong, I don't particularly care that some people felt it was rude. But the fact of the matter is that the rude part was completely avoidable.

> human assembly optimization is unlikely to be better than a modern compiler

You said:

> Most developers can't beat LLVM

Then you pointed out some specific examples where a human can be a compiler.

Seem like you two agree, then you go and call what he is a saying "a myth". I think I need some clarification.

Prior to this my understanding was that if the developer provides the compiler good information with type, const, avoids pointer aliasing and in general makes the code easy to optimize that the compiler can do much better than most humans most of the time, but of course a domain expert willing to expend a huge amount of time with all the knowledge the compiler would have can beat the compiler. It just seems that beating the compiler is rarely cost (time, money, people, etc...) efficient.

Is my understanding close in your opinion?
It's early in development so I haven't gotten to an admin UI to moderate content yet, but blocks are already implemented.

If you're just using the PGE api, then not much. If you're building an app that doesn't discriminate between utilities and your users are from all over, then this is a solution. We're trying to simply make it so the API from every utility looks exactly the same, so developers can write code once, and it works regardless of what utility the user is a part of.
That is left as an exercise for the reader.

Not saying your wrong, but I just read "Sapiens" by Yuval Noah Harari, and my take away was that there were plenty of matriarchal tribes before agriculture and industry.

Fair enough, that is spam in that case. Your initial comment didn't specify that you have never signed up for a mailing list (except for open source software, which is a mailing list) which I think puts you in the minority of people.
I'm not in any sense an expert. A lot of it seems to boil down to what assumptions are implicit.

When you consider something like math, you can pin down what axioms have what consequences. This set of rules produces a group, adding some more axioms produces a field, things like that.

When you get to more ordinary stuff like living life, it's not clear what axioms you picked, vs what axioms i picked. Most people don't think about it at all.

Imagine a coworker that just started showing up topless. That would be freakishly weird. But really, in a professional setting, why would it matter? There are some handwavy arguments about the nature of professionalism, but all of that relies on what axioms you pick for your culture.

Anyway. We all have these ideas about how we're supposed to interact, but we're all playing by different rules. So you get into these Wittgenstein kinds of discussions.

A fact is a human construct. It is a symbol. You just conflated facts with reality. A cursory examination of reality will reveal that observations of reality are observer dependent. So what is an objective fact?

An objective fact must be one that is covariant in change of observer interpreting the fact. Physical laws like General Relativity are covariant in this way: the facts of relativity differ symbolically depending on the reference frame of the observer but different observers' facts are related in a coherent way.

In GR an observer is a reference frame. In order to define objective fact you need to presuppose what an observer is.

It is a masculine behavior to consider this question unimportant. A feminine science is much more interested in the study of the subjective because you can't be objective without understanding subjectivity.

Ultimately an observer in science is a human. That means objective fact can only be understood by understanding the subjectivity of the scientist. An objective fact is in fact an intersubjective fact, and intersubjectivity is an essential contribution to science by feminism. It's a good keyword to google.

That's what I thought as well, but watching some other videos on their site, they say the boost happens in "the last second" https://youtu.be/xYYTuZCjZcE?t=2m34s. Any sign of thrust before landing really isn't visible in that video either. So unless they've never actually fired it successfully and we just don't know what it looks like, it's possible that it's just so close to touchdown that we can't distinguish the thrust from the landing.

I'm assuming that decelerating by 13mph over < 1s is still quite a bit better than by 15mph instantly? But I really don't know.
Yes but the way it seems to have panned out is we need to constantly feed the machine?

Thing is, I just don't need AI for everyday things. AI to help solve big engineering, medical problems, great, but to help me schedule my life, not really.

Even when travelling, things like Google maps and translte just isolate and distract me in someways. Asking a local about something is really helpful and you can get more out of the intraction than just directions. It's rare language truly is a barrier I find.

I'm even questioning how much I really need a smart phone, it is mostly just a distraction. I remember actually being socially pressured into owning one when I was 18. Never actually stopped and asked myself if I need one, it's just some thing has become a "must have".

I know what you're saying about AI being out of the way though, and it would be excellent, if however; it was completely my data, it worked for me and not for a third party. For example, kept my data private for me, while paying my bills, that might be nice. But basically it would work to keep me focused on the real world, which could be achieved without tech ?

I might sound a by anti-progress here , but It would be nice to just see the right progress.
