It's not that different from how a lot of international details are handled for fonts. As someone used to latin letters, you have a giant set of foundry-made fonts with cool names, interesting histories, and visible distinctions between families.

If you use a more complicated script such as Chinese/Japanese/Korean ideograms, or more rare script like Cherokee, you not only have fewer choices, maybe a font or three. In those cases those fonts are often more closely tied to the system manufacturer than what in the latin script world we'd think of as a foundry or type designer. Some scripts wish they could afford designers/type-foundries to explore playful variants like or similar to the vast variety we see of latin characters. (I've seen kickstarters/indiegogo campaigns for exactly that.)

Then there are Unicode fallback fonts. A font "Times New Roman" doesn't (and likely couldn't) include _all_ of Unicode. It's a big sea of characters. Not just because it would take a lot of work for every font to cover all of Unicode, but because for most fonts it doesn't even make sense. What's the difference between say "Arial" and "Helvetica" outside of latin/latinate letters? How would you apply that to CJK ideograms or Cherokee letters? So for a lot of Unicode codepoints, the systems all fall back to common system fonts (a dedicated Cherokee font, a rotation of CJK fonts based on all sorts of things like region and some rare hints from the font being falled back from).

It's possible for classic foundry fonts like "Times New Roman" to ship with full emoji sets, and to have outside font choices to shift emojis. The one non-technical question remains: what would that even mean for "Times New Roman" emoji versus "Arial" emoji, "Arial" versus "Helvetica"? It's possible we might figure out a use for something like a "serif" versus "non-serif" emoji and the fallback can send that as a hint of sort like some other scripts have, but never need anywhere near as wide a variety of emoji.

It's also possible systems could provide options of fallback emoji font based on user preference, if there were enough emoji font options. For now it's easiest for the system manufacturers to just bundle one and only one of their choice, such as they do with a script like Cherokee.

There are a few technical obstacles to allowing that. The big technical issue is how systems handle color rendering. Microsoft is currently to my knowledge the only system handling emoji entirely in the font rendering stack, with color data embedded as extensions into otherwise ordinary OpenType font files. [1] (Microsoft's emoji fallback font actually has a traditional foundry-style name, it is "Segoe UI Emoji", and can even be seen in font lists, not that it is that useful on its own as a latin font choice, and Character Map hasn't been updated to render color fonts nor show Unicode emoji ranges.) Many other systems have custom renderers that intercept Unicode emoji and replace with raster bitmaps of one form or another, rather than relying on "true" font fallback techniques.

I don't buy these numbers at all. 90% seems stupid high for retail. From the report,

"[...] we rely on data from the Shape Network. Across the US, Shape’s customers represent: [..] 40% of Mobile Retail (by in-store payments)."

"We estimated the number of credential stuffing attacks using the total number of credential stuffing attacks observed on Shape’s US customers and the total proportion
of the US industry our customers represent."

I'm really wracking my brain how they're measuring their marketshare of retail. Mobile retail as measured by in-store payments? Can someone explain that to me?

Bottom line, this data comes from a company whose value proposition is that they sit between your company's servers and your clients and filters bad requests for you.

This seems like how he did it. Error correcting codes are a natural domain for questions like "What are the fewest gates gates required to transmit some information?" But the missing puzzle piece was that you can analyze them with polynomials.
In case you were wondering, here's a light-weight fuel cell made from aluminum. It holds 20 gallons of fuel and weighs about 22lbs according to the description.

This is just some random fuel cell I found on Amazon. There are probably even lighter options out there. Racers are always looking to shed weight.

There are also lots of examples where the frame of a vehicle can perform double-duty and hold fuel as well. I don't think that any regular production car will ever do this as it's probably not safe, but the idea isn't a new concept. Here's just an example:

>2 second gaps needs ~20 passengers per pod

Sorry, I don't follow. Why can't a 2 person pod reach 40 Km/h and maintain 22m spacing between pods?

As for the number/price of the pods, the relevant metric is price per passenger. A Subway train costs about $10.000 per standing seat, with the bulk of costs going to infrastructure, not rolling stock. So with cheaper infrastructure and a $20.000 2 person pod, we are cost competitive with standing seats in a packed subway, at much higher passenger comfort.
That's still only relative to an oracle, though (i.e., BQP^O vs NP^O). We also have oracle separations of P and NP, and that proves nothing about P vs NP without an oracle.

Based on the chart showing the effect of "We're still fixing bugs" in their last blog post, it looks like they should have the skills 'buffer' to handle significantly better teams than those they have faced so far.

https://blog.openai.com/openai-five/

"We’re still fixing bugs. The chart shows a training run of the code that defeated amateur players, compared to a version where we simply fixed a number of bugs, ..."

Looking at the chart and the fact that they are confident enough to lift several restrictions, I'd bet on OpenAI Five winning against at least some of the professional teams at The International. It's even possible they will beat most teams there.

Thing is, small claims court doesn't set precedent generally, it is purely for cheaply and quickly resolving small dollar disputes without the need to hire a lawyer and pay significant court and filing fees.

The other side of this is small claims cases aren't going to get a thorough review like they would traditionally, thus some cases have the wrong ruling made. Since the claim was dismissed without prejudice, it could be refiled iirc.
>I sleep 10 to 11h per night.

Yeah that's called over-sleeping sir. It may be indicative of a health issue you should get checked out. You might not want to be so quick to stake claim to autonomous functions. It's not like you're willing yourself to sleep longer; your body just isn't functioning normally.
This makes the most sense. It's simple to execute and I guess the IRS can't really come after you for buying a ton of in-app purchases at high amounts, as you can simply say "I'm addicted to this game."

> Transportation. Communication. Food. See? I can do it too. The idea of non-privatizing things has to pass tests other than just "Everyone needs it."

Does it? Why? I'm 100% for all of the items you mentioned -- public transportation, public communication, and public food. Arguably we pay for crappier versions of all of those already (Busses, Lifeline Program, SNAP and Bridges or your state's equivalent)

You can be for "public services that should never be privatized or outsourced", and still allow private services to exist too. That's not a conflict in any way.

(I'm aware of the letter ban) but a public USPS for package delivery, doesn't prevent FedEx from also delivering packages too. A public water utility doesn't prevent Nestle from also selling bottled water everywhere. Public elementary schools hasn't prevented private/religious schools from also existing in every state. PBS / BBC hasn't prevented NBC / ABC / CBS / Sky from existing. You can be pro "public utilities for things everyone needs, ban privatization of public services" and that does not have to hurt any private companies in any way.
Oh the good old IE argument "but it is technically integrated to the OS and providing all kind of essential services, so we are not abusing our monopoly"

While it is not (can be removed/replaced, the limitations preventing to do that are completely artificial and this is probably playing a good role in what has been judged), and even if it was, things should have been bundled differently to begin with (if they can't, that can be considered a conscious decision potentially motivated by a desire to abuse a monopoly, so in all cases that should be redesigned)

So it's mostly same cause/same effects from an high level overview -- and I'm not surprised. Maybe the way to become compliant (after their pointless whining phase has passed) will even be similar? I'm not buying the business model argument. Google browser, play store and so over are now extremely well established and won't be abandoned by any kind of mass exodus any time soon. In ten years, they can be challenged, but that's the fucking POINT: practical competition should be allowed.

It's astonishing that everybody and their dog was scandalized by MS behavior in the time (and some even are today, despite present MS being quite different from the old one), while Google has somehow managed to be considered friendly regardless of the doing exactly the same shit, if not worse, while simultaneously even pretending that they are not evil. Well maybe evil is a strong word, and I can concede that they did not pretend they are not hypocrites :p

I've commented a few times (on BGG) on games where too many rules can cause frustration or confusion. Are the rules limiting or are they allowing a new ability? Do the rules follow a path that makes sense to the game (heuristics)?

The setup explicitly allows for contextual customization of approach. You’re right that it is too complex an issue to precommit a strategy, which is why you don’t. It’s up to the discretion of the judge and the court as to what accounting strategy is used in the audit. If the company thinks it is unfair they can fight it as part of the proceedings or under an appeal.

Also highly recommended is Jenkins Job DSL, which, despite also using Groovy like Jenkins Pipeline, takes a far different approach.

In Job DSL, you write Groovy scripts to declare your job. These scripts, in turn, write the config.xml that Jenkins uses to actually define and execute jobs.

One of the big benefits to us is that it is _not_ an alternate execution engine like Jenkins Pipeline is. It just takes over the job of writing the job XML for you, instead of editing it through the GUI.

We had a large, complex, manually 'versioned' job chain that did not lend itself to being re-written in Jenkins Pipeline, as it made heavy use of plugins that were not supported by Pipeline at the time.

By using Job DSL, we were able to incrementally replace the manually maintained jobs with script-generated ones. Importantly, with nothing breaking for end users! All download links, URLs, etc of the new jobs exactly matched the old ones, so it was a very painless, incremental adoption that people did not even notice!

If you've got an existing job chain you are trying to get under control, Job DSL comes highly recommended.
So the light we see from the lasers is emitted by atoms in space? I thought space was a vacuum? Or is it that the emitted light only comes from atoms in the atmosphere? So the further up we go, the dimmer becomes the emitted light.

Also, is there a way to determine how much blurring is happening from gravitational waves? In other words, if a ripple in spacetime washes across the space between us and a far away star, will the star become fuzzy like the schlieren distortion on a hot day here on earth? (faraway objects become ghostlike as heat from the hot ground alters the air density between observer and target)

Because what is being offered is neither a debt or equity instrument but a defined good or service, just as with other shopping vebues, and because the kind of detailed financial and other information that would be made available to investors for due diligence with normal high-risk investments is not offered or available for most crowdfunded projects.

Because the middle, ring, and pinky all share the same muscle group.

Try this: hold your hand out in a fist and extend your middle, ring, and pinky straight out. Now try to flex each of the three extended fingers individually without moving the other two.

Now try the inverse: make a fist and try raising each finger individually without moving the other two. It's physiologically impossible because the muscle used for extension is shared between those fingers.

(Edit: extension is impossible, not contraction)

> The length of the day used for astronomical timekeeping reaches about 86,401 SI seconds. Under the present-day timekeeping system, either a leap second would need to be added to the clock every single day, or else by then, in order to compensate, the length of the day would have had to have been officially lengthened by one SI second.

When discussing how crypto-assets should be valued:

> In that case, you can take the simple model and say a cryptocurrency’s valuation is the net present value of the transaction fees that it’s getting. This, by itself, surprisingly does give fairly decent valuations.

> For example, Ethereum’s transaction fees tend to be about $500,000 a day recently, which is about $180 million a year. If you tried to value the ether market cap as some kind of corporation, then the “P/E ratio” is only somewhere in the low 200s, which is high for a company, but not off-the-charts absurdly high.

Isn't this completely circular? He's saying that the value of the transaction fees per year measured in dollars equates to some reasonable fraction of the market cap measured in dollars... but wouldn't this be true if the market cap were much higher or much lower? It's just a comparison of the total supply to the amount being circulated, rather than a substantive claim about how each token (or the market cap) should be valued in dollars.

You have evidence for that claim? No study I've seen seems to suggest there's any problem with sleeping more up to something like 12 hrs/night I think.

When you also account for natural variations within a population, a need for 10 hours of sleep doesn't seem ridiculous.

The diesel cycle as such can work with gasoline, but actual diesel engine implementations not designed for gasoline won't take it very well due to multiple issues.

Unfortunately I don't think this is true. The moment you observe them, they are no longer entangled. So they have opposite spin at that point, but if you reverse one, it behaves classically and both electrons then have the same spin.

I'm still trying to wrap my head around why there isn't some hidden variable though which determines which spin they'll have. Like with Bayes' theorum, I keep learning it but for whatever reason my brain won't remember it and I have to look it up again hahah.
