Cf. "The Surprising Creativity of Digital Evolution: A Collection of Anecdotes from the Evolutionary Computation and Artificial Life Research Communities"

https://arxiv.org/abs/1803.03453v1

> Biological evolution provides a creative fount of complex and subtle adaptations, often surprising the scientists who discover them. However, because evolution is an algorithmic process that transcends the substrate in which it occurs, evolution's creativity is not limited to nature. Indeed, many researchers in the field of digital evolution have observed their evolving algorithms and organisms subverting their intentions, exposing unrecognized bugs in their code, producing unexpected adaptations, or exhibiting outcomes uncannily convergent with ones in nature. Such stories routinely reveal creativity by evolution in these digital worlds, but they rarely fit into the standard scientific narrative. Instead they are often treated as mere obstacles to be overcome, rather than results that warrant study in their own right. The stories themselves are traded among researchers through oral tradition, but that mode of information transmission is inefficient and prone to error and outright loss. Moreover, the fact that these stories tend to be shared only among practitioners means that many natural scientists do not realize how interesting and lifelike digital organisms are and how natural their evolution can be. To our knowledge, no collection of such anecdotes has been published before. This paper is the crowd-sourced product of researchers in the fields of artificial life and evolutionary computation who have provided first-hand accounts of such cases. It thus serves as a written, fact-checked collection of scientifically important and even entertaining stories. In doing so we also present here substantial evidence that the existence and importance of evolutionary surprises extends beyond the natural world, and may indeed be a universal property of all complex evolving systems.
Well you can use the Authy Apple Watch app for TOTP but I am not aware of anything that works like Microsoft or Google's prompt system.
In the Bay Area you now pay $3k/month for a room with 2 roommates ;-) Similar situation is going on around Seattle and Boston/Cambridge as well, though it's not as bad yet. Of course, more distant locations have lower rents, but one also wastes too much time by commuting.
> So much business is done at private FB groups, you have no idea.

Would you care to quantify that, then?
Except that's not the problem going on here, for non growth stock companies today, profits matter more than revenue expansion. So even if they would be able to successfully grow their business in nominal terms by raising wages for more employees, they are often obligated to only try and expand at the same or increasing levels of profitability.
Persistence is a skill that needs to be trained just like all skills, intellectually gifted people tend to get little training in it because they learn stuff fast and thus don't get the usual amount of training in it like others, so what you need to do is pick a thing you want to do that's boring and then measure the time of how long you manage to do it in one day, then you reward yourself with something, next time you try to do it for longer than last time and if you manage that then you give yourself another reward. It's just a skill, it's hard to train but train it you must if you want to be good at it. There is nothing more to it sadly, its a simple problem with a boring simple solution, you just have to put in the hours and train that skill.

Surgery might work for obstructive sleep apnea, depending on the actual cause, but it will not work at all for people like me who suffer from central sleep apnea. With central sleep apnea the windpipe isn't obstructed, your autonomic-nervous-system just doesn't breathe sometimes.

I'm building an e-learning website and want people to be able to write code on the site and run unit tests on the code they've written to validate that it works.

Does anyone know if there's an API out there that offers the ability to run code/run tests on it as an API service?
You can ignore ATIP if you just read it.
Not all satellite internet, currently, is dependent on geostationary. Read up on o3b's network and architecture, which has been operational for several years now. The cost, however, is basically "if you have to ask, you can't afford it". O3b is a market option for ISPs and telecoms in very remote or island areas that were previously dependent upon leasing Ku or C band transponder megahertz.

Hardware startups => Munich

Software startups => Berlin

As this thread is (mostly) about investments in AI, which in the German startup scene has been happening more in Berlin than in Munich AFAIK, it's not a understandable choice. Also as Munichs startup scene is younger, there have been less exits, so "success" is something the jury is still out on.

>One of the things that I do like about GitHub is actually the community/social aspect. For example, I follow projects I am interested in, and I can see notifications from all of them on one page--without filling up my email inbox. I also follow users who have similar interests, and I often discover new projects when I see in my feed (which I read via RSS) that they've starred a project that sounds interesting.

For the moment I've explicitly decided against this. I want sr.ht to be a professional tool more so than a social network. This may change to varying degrees in the future.

>will there also be anything like GitHub's "Notifications" page?

There will be a feed of events, which you can use for a similar reason. At the moment, there are feeds like this, but they aren't global - they're scoped to each sub-site, like lists.sr.ht. Here's what my lists.sr.ht page looks like:

>Another feature I enjoy on GitHub is the ability to view issues and PRs across all of my repos from a single search page (e.g. search for "user:repo-owner-username is:issue"). Will sr.ht have anything like this?

Maybe!

No they didn't. He was out to a wide circle of people already, let alone that publishing that fact is in no way libelous or defamatory.

Feelings about Gawker aside, if they had really outed him and caused him damage because of it, he would have sued them for that instead of searching for another case he could latch onto and bankroll.
in practical real world use the absolute minimum ping time you'll see from a 1:1 dedicated capaacity (SCPC) link via geostationary, from end terminal to larger earth station, is 489 to 491 ms. This will vary up to 495ms depending on modem modulation/framing and FEC type, and actual line of sight distance to satellite (low inclination aim angle for the antenna, if you're not directly under the satellite, vs two sites that are directly under it as viewed from geostationary).

Ignoring TDMA oversubscribed VSAT networks for the moment, there are a number of different possible modulation schemes and FEC types, and FEC code rate (payload vs FEC percentages), and things that are unique to different SCPC modems, which will vary the modulation by a few ms beyond pure speed of light.
Thank you for founding this project. I've been playing around with DAT, and using it with this the browser seems very promising. Keep up the great work.
> Use German resources if you want to learn about Germany.

This is an English speaking forum. Unless you have evidence that the English resources contradict the german ones, calling me out on this is pointless.

> Tldr; employees and employers have to make sure that no-one oversteps the 10 hour maximum.

That's not the point. The point is do you have a right to get compensated for extra hours. Let's say you're hired for 36hrs/week but the reality is closer to 40. The contract says you're not entitled to compensation for overtime. As far as the law is concerned, I see no problem here whatsoever.
Or you are over the equator in a band that is used strictly for GEO.

It's my understanding that this constellation is going to be significantly lower than GEO, so that's not a problem.

Also, the dead zones are toward the poles, but those are mitigated in phase two.

If all you have is a hammer... CPAP machines are the standard treatment, because they are cheap (compared to most other treatments for chronic diseases) and fully effective for most (but not all) patients.

There are few treatments with better cost/effect ratios.

This response is a disaster of PR. Facebook are the trolls, the cyber-bullies, the fake news.

That is changing too. I remember when airline wifi was new and we used to watch netflix (now they block it of course). But now I frequently VPN in from a plane and continue working. Sometimes I get more work done because there are even fewer distractions on the plane.
luckily ours was arduino-ish and pretty simple to program. But we had to built everything since it was more of a mechanical + electrical design class, so there was lots of machine shop time

Munich is generally not as open to foreigners as Berlin. Even more foreigners are in Frankfurt, but most hate living there, despite getting a funding is much easier than in Berlin/Munich - it's fun to see ICOs popping up there 1 year after they were relevant, so if you follow US trends, you can apply them without much effort over there a year later and be celebrated for copying some already well-known idea.
That's true it seems a bug in the API. I'll open an issue informing that. Thanks!

What I am thinking of is more is using signal phase differences on spatially separated similar microphones to isolate the desired source and filter the rest. There is probably a name for this I wouldn't remember. You wouldn't need a specific directional mic and could instead build a synthetic virtual microphone with whatever directional properties you wanted (including distance and not just directional selection)

I was counting those under shallow in order processors. The ARM A8 was vulnerable and I'd guess the POWER 6 was as well. But the A53s you've got in a modern phone are safe.

I don't know of any VLIW design that's vulnerable to these whether they're open pipeline like the Mill or Transmeta lineage or closed like the Itanium. Or the Hexagon which uses round robin multi-threading to make every operation look like 1 cycle so it can be both ;)

The satellites are not stationary, but go around the earth. This means that to get good coverage in the US, they actually have to provide good coverage everywhere near the same latitudes (on both sides of the equator). Since the satellites in the southern hemisphere will have nothing better to do and have less demand, they are probably going to start rolling out service everywhere they can at the same time.

Most of Brazil is actually a bit out of luck in that it's too near the equator, so satellite density overhead will not be that great anywhere but the very southernmost areas until there are lot of the birds in the sky, so you won't have service immediately. But places like Chile and Argentina will have great access pretty quickly.

However, as a caveat to that the receiving antennas will be expensive at the start and SpaceX still has to negotiate access to spectrum in every country separately, and in poorer countries this will most likely have to be paid for, so that will hike the prices up.
Not stupid. Sort of. The term you're looking for multilateration (edit: i'm twisting the term a bit for my own use here, it's not exactly multilateration but it's not exactly triangulation either). Without looking at the RF specd in the FCC docs or the satellite hardware part list, I'm not sure if you could do it on the receiver, but it would be straightforward for the constellation visible to the receiver to triangulate a receiver's position and provide it over a maintenance channel to the terminal.
>How do they even begin to communicate with a person who's never used a computer? purely in metaphors?

They don't. It's a bureaucracy, not a meritocracy. The first business of a bureaucracy is to maintain the bureaucracy, and the second business of a bureaucracy is to reward party loyalty, and the third is for the bureaucrat to maintain and enhance personal power.

He will listen to people of his own social class and party whose word and sponsorship lends political merit, take orders from above, and his subordinates will do as they're told.
Sorry for the ambiguity: I didn't mean literally at the same time like washing dishes while dreaming of dishwashers. I mean, like, do some boring coding drudgery one day/week/month, and then the next day/week/month do a bit of dreaming and whiteboarding of how to automate a better world, and then we can prioritize and make time for the automation work to make the better world a reality.

The important part is noticing and recognizing things that are ripe for automation, rather than accepting the shitty world as it is and continuing to suffer through repetitive work that could've been automated.

Some will outright deny the existence of the new information about extra-terrestrial life.

But, for most believers, I bet there will be a re-articulation of the tenets of the faith, a transformation of their existing doctrine into something that seems compatible with the new information.

Maybe this is not quite the right way to look at it, but it seems to me that, taken together, these religious faiths have already survived many, many highly traumatic historical and informational challenges and persecutions (e.g. invasion of the "sea peoples" in the Eastern Mediterranean, rise and fall of the Greek Empire, rise of the Roman Empire, destruction of the temple in Jerusalem, Constantine's conversion, religious councils which redefined Jesus, fall of the Roman Empire, Galileo, Copernicus, Reformation, Magellan, Enlightenment, British Empire, Darwin/Evolution, Napoleon, Hubble–Lemaître and modern cosmology, the Holocaust, etc ...)

For example, it seems to me like modern astronomy has drastically challenged and damaged the very notion of a saintly or holy figure "ascending into heaven," but believers whose holy books explicitly describe such an event have not abandoned their faiths in large numbers because of it.

Another example is modern biology and theories about the origin of humanity. That didn't stop religions based on the book of Genesis.

IMHO, hard evidence of extra terrestrial life will be just one more speed bump in the history of these faiths.
I got in a car accident, and it turns out the driver had a tiny crumb of marijuana in a booksack, and I got six months jail time for it because the judge was incredibly corrupt and complicit with how the system works.

I watched someone else who got caught trespassing and hunting without tags, caught with several grams of marijuana, his second possession arrest, only get a few hours of community service because he wasn't poor or youthful.

This charge has had an extremely negative impact on my life, and I did nothing to deserve it.

Your understanding of how the world works is so small and broken, you need to work on developing empathy for others caught up in the system and stop assuming that just because they are in it, they deserve it. You have no idea what police are arresting people for outside of your little town, and it's arrogant to assume otherwise. Read that book.
According to Bloomberg, since there are currently fewer than 2,000 operating satellites, SpaceX’s new additions will dominate space.

This number surprised me, much lower than I expected. Looked it up and I'm seeing varying numbers, but generally in the 1k-4k ballpark.
It speculates of course but because the speculation is so shallow it can't read then pass on privileged information before the mis-speculation is caught.

EDIT: Oh, I should also point out that it isn't just branches. A pipelined processor is also speculating if it continues issuing institutions before memory accesses are fully resolved, because those accesses might result in exceptions that render the following instructions invalid.
How? Isn't it encrypted from the senders device and decrypted at the receivers?
The latency from the distance light travels does not vary that much. The rest of the ~600 ms latency is caused by the same thing as latency on ground systems (routers, etc.). And the processors on spacecraft are not particularly fast.

No, the point is that your brain initiates an "emergency procedure", so to speak, when oxygen levels in the blood get too low. This results in a few very quick, gasping breaths and lots and lots of physiological stress, including heightened blood pressure.
