The cap for repeat prescription is at 3, at least were do I live which is in Puerto Rico. So the patients that needs those concurrent medications like levodopa or Humalog goes to see the Doctor and they ask for a prescription refill without date.

Big name pharmacies like Walgreens or CVS won’t dispatch u a medication without a prescription, the town pharmacies (Mom and Dad) would do it.

A week ago I avoid the hassle and loss of time (travel, waiting time, and $) just going through the town pharmacy and asking for a antibiotic, having a prescription won’t make any difference as the insurance plan won’t cover it.
Wow, 2 AM, some persistence. But as someone who's very sensitive to sleep deprivation (I get violently ill if I don't sleep well for more than 2 days in a row), I insist not making it a habit. Especially if you are in your 30s, it has bad after effects. PM for more info.

Take a look at their prototypes, the wheels are all independently articulated. A human would have a lot of difficulty handling a car like that, but for a robot it's no big deal. This might be genius or it might be crazy, it really depends on whether they can execute.

Zoox is the only company we know of that is building a robotaxi from the ground up rather than just retrofitting a vehicle designed for something else. Although Einride has a concept built for a highway freight hauler with no driver cabin, and Nuro has several delivery vehicles built with no room for a human on board.

The term 'self driving car' is kind of like the term 'Horseless Carriage'. It's transitional.
That has bugged me since the first time I read about Nock. JITs use intrinsics to work around inefficiency of generated code when the maintenance burden of the intrinsic is worth the performance boost, and the grand plan is to make a VM so terrible that you need a shitload of intrinsics for programs to terminate before the heat death of the universe? Years later I still haven't gotten past that initial bafflement. It just makes no sense at all.
ahhh trucks and buicks...still getting around to adding those sources.

Just to clarify your comment on "What they offered was exactly what travel insurance is there for." They didn't offer me anything. Not one piece of my cover was offered. They 'offered' me a flight home as a goodwill gesture. They stressed that they didn't have to. It was a really shitty tactic. If you complain to a company and accept "their goodwill gesture" you are agreeing that no further action will be taken. If I had accepted their flight home, that would have been my insurance void and I would have no grounds to appeal.
That’s why I said “why should they bloat it even more”. I mean it’s already bloated and you want them to add more stuff just for an obscure little thing?

The biggest shock for me with these laptops came when I tried to do some light gaming. I'm not talking about recent titles either, my 2017 MBP gets bought to the brink by KSP at minimum settings with no mods. I understand that I would be quite rightly criticised for trying to run something like Fortnite but we're talking about a game here with roots in 2013.

The hardware they put inside the later models has no hope in hell of running normally with all the thermal issues.
Yeah, this seems like a very indulgent project. It seems more of a labor of love for those who worked on it than something that moves the business forward. It's the same feeling I get when I look at the Airbnb service fee and get irritated... knowing that they have a very expensive office.
So far the last several Macbooks have throttled after X minutes of rendering. The only real surprise is that the 2018 Macbooks ended up with worse rendering time. But it does make sense since the i9 is a hotter chip and combine that with the same thin design...you'll reach the threshold faster...which will throttle faster.
I’m not sure what parties you suppose to make a deal through that scheme, but for those who don’t know: in Russia no money laundering is required. You simply never get ‘source of funds’ questions even when buying something enormously expensive. Just don’t put it to the bank, unless you want to lose 10% (maximum no-brainer) on converting back.

This misconception is also shared among many russian folks who use term ‘laundering’ when actually they speak about tax theft or just theft through fake middleware companies who convert it to cash and that’s it.
I was thinking of a crewed vehicle. And yeah, redirecting defense spending should do it.

For a mere probe, especially a microprobe, Breakthrough Starshot is probably the best approach and it is potentially 10% to 30% c and cheap per probe. Wouldn't necessarily cost that much, either, although the engineering is pretty... aggressive. If the engineering issues could be solved, might be able to do it for the same cost as ISS ($100 billion).

Are you seriously dismissing offhand theoretically sound and experimentally-verified core tenets of quantum mechanics?

It's not like they're making this stuff up. It falls very straightforwardly out of the mathematics underpinning quantum mechanics, we have tested these things, and we have conclusively disproven the existence of any type of hidden variable theory.

That's not to say quantum mechanics is faultless and complete, but any new theory is going to have to incorporate these results rather than throw them out entirely (much like how Newtonian physics "falls out" of general relativity at low speeds and small masses.
Interesting, yet I don't think they are hemmed in by geography but rather by happenstance. That's to say, the industry sprouted there and has had a positive feedback loop and bloomed, but it doesn't seem to me that it could not happen in Oregon, or some other place --though of course not every place in the US but several regions anyhow.

I mean the GP was talking about crops which appeared to be restricted to small geographies due to special circumstances and could not be easily replicated elsewhere.
The DeepSpeech2 paper does not include any details about audio processing. I see an older Baidu-Research implementation of DS1 that uses "log of linear spectrogram from FFT energy". Also, there's a pytorch implementation [1], where they use Librosa's STFT, is that what you're referring to?

That's two more implementations that I haven't considered. I'm sure most of the processing steps under the hood are the same or similar, but as I'm not an audio processing expert, I can't tell which method is better (and why).

And it's hard to tell if it "works well" because or despite the way I processed the files.

Have you taken the Surface Book 2 for a spin? Pricey, but gives the MBP a good run for its money, and does a couple tricks the MBP cannot, such as having an excellent touch/pen surface for a screen. Real ports, including SD card. The outstanding downside is, of course, the abominable Windows 10.

This is pretty silly. Illinois drivers ed makes a point of teaching about the "ball bounces into the street, dumb kid is sure to abruptly follow" scenario, and both of my kids ran into exactly that scenario as I taught them to drive on the streets around our house. Kids chase balls into the streets all the time.

I'm curious about how you might have ever planned to back this weird argument up with evidence. Is there some secret repository of kids-playing-with-balls evidence that you were waiting to bust out? Or were you just going to try to first-principles it?

By your description, a jet is an intrinsic written by people who don't know about intrinsics. Plus the bonus of "if you don't trigger the intrinsic it literally costs you money" which is the kind of language-gotcha innovation I would expect from crypto-whatever.
>If you want to fix electronics, find a way to make VLSI fabrication cost $500 and have a 5 day turnaround.

Agreed. The root problem is that producing chips has become so expensive and proprietary that it has become extremely centralized. I would bet that no more than a few hundred people decide the big design questions of the chips in nearly all computers produced today.
Also lambdabot.
This is actually what irritates me and keeps me away from doctors. Its seems to be 99% seat of the pants guess work, and in my case the doctors seem to have a pretty poor batting average. I get that antibiotics are over-prescribed, but do I really need to have the same test run again for the 3rd time to see if I'm lying about the antibiotic not doing a darn thing?

I get that treatment is frequently trial and error when it comes to medications, but the doctor/patient/pharmacist loop is BS, particularly for minor/frequent issues.

Take for example that I seem to run myself into poison ivy a couple times a year while mountain biking. Do I really need to fight to see a doctor/nurse/whatever just to have the same prescription I've gotten the last couple years straight? Or for that matter, maybe I should experiment more with stronger allergy medications to avoid the nasty withdraw I seem to get from prednisone.

Worse, what irritates me, is like the GP, it seems a lot of the common "safe" prescriptions in the US are over the counter in the rest of the world.. I know this, but got myself quite a surprise last time I was in mexico, because the hotel gift shop had viagra next to the advil!
Ah, good ol QString
I don't know why there aren't docks on the market. The Henge USB-C dock has been pre-order for two years, so I just made my own in an afternoon by cutting a slot into a 4x4, and drilling a couple holes for a usb hub cable and a monitor+power cable.
And yet wildly different paradigms are used to solve the same problems every day. A video game (for example) can be programmed imperatively, or reactively, or with OOP, or following a compositional pattern, and so forth. All of these metaphors are broad enough to express computation in general. What I'm saying is, when designing general languages, it's worth consciously factoring in the general ways in which the human mind works. It's not the only factor, but it's one that's often ignored.

To be doubly clear: I'm not saying that unintuitive, highly-formalized syntaxes are useless, just like assembly isn't useless. Each is crucial for certain uses. What I am saying is, they shouldn't be necessary for (and often aren't even well-suited to) solving the average programming problem. We don't write software in assembly any more, but we haven't evolved as far beyond its paradigms as we like to think.

There is a huge number of problems that software engineers work on every day, whose domain (what's being modeled) is fully understood by many laypersons (or nontechnical subject-matter experts). And yet those laypeople lack the ability to express their ideas to a computer, and those engineers waste huge amounts of effort translating those simple ideas into needlessly esoteric code. This is a fundamental failure in language design, and it needs to be addressed.
It depends on workload. If I'm typing code for a minute and then spending few seconds compiling and launching it, it won't trigger throttling, but reducing each compilation from 3 seconds to 2 seconds is certainly a benefit.
One reason is that a generic derandomization of BPP would derandomize polynomial identity testing (PIT), an important problem mentioned in the article. Even a very weak derandomization of PIT would imply circuit lower bounds, and these seem quite difficult to prove (see https://eccc.weizmann.ac.il//eccc-reports/2002/TR02-055/inde...).

It is one thing to derandomize particular algorithms -- often, a single algorithm uses randomness in a limited way. Perhaps the algorithm only uses the fact that truly random bits are pairwise independent -- thus, fully random bits are "overkill" for this algorithm. Swapping out the random bits for pairwise independent bits, which we know how to generate deterministically, suffices.

To derandomize all of BPP, we need to understand how any efficient computation could make use of random bits. This seems to require deep insights into the structure of efficient computation -- which we are pretty far from.
I have a handful of laptops but by far my most reliable have been my macbook pros. I'm writing this on a mid-2010 mbp that's run like a champ since day one. I also have a 2014 mbp for work, but I really like the 2010. It's not a skinny ultra-portable but it's not a tank either. It only runs hot when I have it hooked up to a large display. Eight years with no notable problems for a daily driver is pretty good in my eyes.

I agree completely on the touchpad. I picked up an XPS13 that I'd intended to use as a replacement. The touchpad is as good as I've had on a non-Apple product, but it's still not on par with Apple. On the otherhand I've started playing with OpenBSD with ratpoison & qutebroswser and it's pretty remarkable how far you can get without a touchpad at all.

A couple years ago I wouldn't have considered anything but an mbp, but with the recent touchbar and butterfly keyboard shenanigans I would absolutely consider something other than an mbp. I hope Apple comes to recognize that reliability is more important than super skinny unrepairable machines.
I know what you mean about libraries. There are so many out there that cover 80% of my use case, but they're all missing 20% in different areas.

The simple problem with the two stroke is its almost impossible to prevent some gas from leaking out via the exhaust since the inhalation and exhalation happen simultaneously. Environmental standards are so stringent that this is a non-starter, even though it could achieve much better gas mileage.

Even if you solved that problem you'd still have to burn the oil used for lubrication.
Nobody is suggesting that. Go has very good profiling support, and that's how performance optimization starts.

If profiling finds that there are too many allocations on a hot path, you might want to see why they escape to heap. But that's a last resort strategy.

Using sklearn with AWS lambda to build ML services
I have, and to give Microsoft credit, it's the closest thing to a MBP I've ever used. That said, it still doesn't just quite feel as polished (the touchpad isn't as accurate, for one). But if I had to use a non-Apple laptop, I would probably go for a Surface Book.

What games do you play? Because it's at least once a play session for me. Perhaps we are playing different games or different regions have more cheaters than others.

I have mixed feelings about anti-cheat, especially in the last few years. A lot of them are getting rather intrusive. Take Player Unknown's Battlegrounds for instance, which uses BattlEye. It actually injects a kernel mode driver into Windows that spies on whatever else your system is doing and exfiltrates unknown data in the name of "guaranteeing a fair game experience." I didn't even realize that this is what it was doing until my system crashed one day and the cause was some .sys file in PUBG.

It'll also randomly kick you from games for having various programs installed or running. Programs such as VMware. You have to disable all VMware services or PUBG will kick you randomly for using "unauthorized applications." God forbid you have any VMs running, that might amount to a ban (seriously).

Worse still is that when you take your complaints to their social media, or in anyway speak ill of it, you get hordes of fanboys saying that you shouldn't install anything other than games on your PC or you're a dirty cheater. "Oh you want to do things _other_ than gaming on your PC? You should buy another PC then."

Don't even get me started about trying to run games in a virtual machine w/ GPU passthrough. The communities will tear you a new one telling you to do things "normally" and by attempting to use anything other than the "normal" setup makes you a cheater. Just google anything like "steam vac kvm" or "battleye kvm" and you'll get hordes of people claiming they heard some guy say virtualization is the future of game cheating therefore VMs are cheating tools and should be banned.

Seriously, if I could get a refund for every game that uses BattlEye, I would try.

Blockchain White Papers
I’m not sure I follow your argument, but if I understand you right, I don’t believe what you’re quoting is relevant. From the article you are (I think?) criticizing:

We measure a Bell signal S of 2.0732 ± 0.0003, exceeding the maximum value |S| = 2 for a classical system by 244 standard deviations. In the experiment, we deterministically generate the entangled state, and measure both qubits in a single-shot manner, closing the “detection loophole”[11]. Since the Bell inequality was designed to test for non-classical behavior without assuming the applicability of quantum mechanics to the system in question, this experiment provides further strong evidence that a macroscopic electrical circuit is really a quantum system [7].
https://web.physics.ucsb.edu/~martinisgroup/papers/Ansmann20...

That says in plain English that they have not assumed that this system behaves according to quantum principles. In fact, it is precisely the opposite: the quantum nature of this system is a conclusion of their results. It would be statistically impossible for any system following classical rules to produce the same data.

(It bears repeating that the math underlying that conclusion is truly not very complex, and it is very, very well studied. If you can show that it’s flawed somehow, don’t bother publishing— just post your proof here and I’ll, uh... pick up the Nobel for you.)

The only caveat is that this experiment closes the detection loophole, but not the locality loophole; it is theoretically possible that a classical signal could be sent from one qubit to the other quickly enough to fabricate this data. There’s no particular reason to suspect a secret signal is in play, but it isn’t theoretically prohibited.

Assuming you haven’t found a flaw in their mathematics, and that you aren’t alleging that the researchers deliberately fabricated their data, the locality loophole is your best (and likely only) avenue to dispute their conclusions. However, if you wish to pursue that, you should keep in mind that there are many other experiments which close the locality loophole but not the detection loophole, and, since 2015, several that close both. Three-card monte may be a better investment of your time.
