Having worked in SFX, I guess it was probably from a Chapman (a sort of crane balanced seesaw big enough to hang cameramen and cameras from) - at one time (presumably no longer) I believe they used a big reservoir of mercury to achieve fine balance, to the extent you could move swing them around manually.

Amusing side note: They had a locking lever when obviously had to be engaged when the cameraman wasn't on the end. If someone freed the lever with the crane out of balance, the results could be quite catastrophic (source: I could've been killed on one occasion).

Aha, and here's an article about them:-

With ubiquitous use of TLS and the advent of certificate pinning Wireshark is becoming less and less useful. Even if you convince the phone to accept your man-in-the-middle certificate with a provisioning profile, there's no way to proof that it sends the same data as if it got the real certificate.

> The processor wouldn’t cache file system meta data

What _file system meta data_? The processor doesn't care what data it is! I am talking of the hw control plane and you are still lurching at pure software constructs like the kernel and its drivers.

All the CPU cares is the latest data fetched by a program. The CPU cache exists to store program instructions and _data_ (no matter where it comes from) used repeatedly in the operation of programs or information that the CPU is likely to need next. If the data is still available in the cacheline and isn't invalidated, CPU won't fetch it from an external unit (so bus request is not even made). _Any_ data coming to CPU sits in any Ln cache, source notwithstanding. The external memory is accessed in case of cache misses. However, the metadata these utilities fetch is very very less and the probability is greatly reduced. Moreover, your hypothetical utility also banks on the assumption that this data won't change and it wouldn't have to issue too many rescans to remain performant.

It's the same thing you see when you copy a 2 GB file from a slow storage to SSD and the first time it's slow but the next time it's way faster.

You can see it for yourself. Run `nnn` on any external disk you are having (with a lot of data preferably), navigate to the mounpoint, press `^J` (1. notice the time taken), move to a subdir, come back to mountpoint again (2. notice the time taken). You would see what I mean.

> none of the hobby projects I’ve written in FUSE had any caching

On a side note (and though not much relevant here), all serious drivers (e.g. those from Tuxera, btrfs) maintain buffer cache (https://www.tldp.org/LDP/sag/html/buffer-cache.html). They always boost performance. If our Ln misses, this is where we would get the metadata from and _hopefully_ not from the disk which is the worst case.

Sending them in town has no close equivalent in the US, maybe threatening someone to be in Contempt of the Supreme Court.

The US House of Representatives and the US Senate also have Sergeants at Arms:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sergeant_at_Arms_of_the_United...

There have been multiple occasions in recent decades when, in theory, either house of Congress could have resorted to enforcement of a Congressional subpoena by sending its Sergeant at Arms to arrest the non-responsive party. The most recent occurrence was early in Trump's term when several of his high officials refused to appear before Congressional committees which sought to question them; there was talk of whether Congress would provoke a showdown by issuing and enforcing subpoenas. And a court ruling during the George W. Bush administration confirmed Congress could compel members of the executive branch to appear and answer questions:

You can ask them to delete your data, but unless their only legal basis for having it was your consent, they may be able to refuse. [0] They'd have to argue to the regulator that their interest in retaining it should override your interest in deleting it.

You also aren't allowed to dictate how specifically your data is processed, so you can't just boss them around. You only get to choose which data, for which purposes, by whom, and only if the processing requires [1] your consent.

Certainly people can demand that. It's easy and simple to make that kind of demand. That's why this is a problem — nowadays we have convenient peer-to-peer communication, and there's a set of people who receive a significant amount of verbal manure, but don't have the professional filter staff of most public personae, so they have to deal with the manure themselves.

In simpler worlds, there's a variety of criteria such as Akaike's Information Criterion (AIC) and the Bayesian Information Criterion (BIC). Neither applies directly to NN optimization because they amount to "every additional parameter costs _this_ much".

The more philosophical Minimal Description Length (MDL) principles and friends might yield something applicable for NN training, but hasn't yet AFAIK.
Oh just for clarification, I didn't write the initial question. I just figured it wasn't malicious. :)

I understand what you're saying.. my policy has always been to respond (even to incendiary comments) as if they are genuinely curious or, anyone listening/reading would learn something new or give credence to my position.

If you can master that, you will almost never lose ground in an argument/discussion, and no one would take issue with you on the basis of a response. Not saying that your response was anything but reasonable, it just wasn't the most fortuitous for such an audience as this. Hopefully this is helpful to you or anyone reading.
The biggest red flag with this post is misspellings, inconsistent capitalization, and bad grammar. If you're not a native speaker, then it's the misspellings, inconsistent capitalization, and some of the bad grammar.

We pronounce all of our H's including herb, hotel, hospital and any other word of French origin. It's Americans that bizarrely become French on matters of cuisine such as 'erbs and "bleu" cheese. If only the food itself was more like the French, eh?

It's important to note that when pronouncing the letter H itself it does not begin with an H. Pronouncing it like "haitch" will make you sound uneducated in Britain.
While I agree that the redirecting is dishonest, I think this article adds a level of commentary to the original NYT piece.
> Why then, would gravity not be a force?

But you did not explain force you just redefined it to suit your argument. In the Newtonian regime force is defined as action at a distance between two masses. Your notion of field does not exist in the Newtonian regime.

Einstein did not believe that action at a distance is possible so he tried to explain gravity without action at a distance, ie, without force.

Gravity cannot be a force and not a force at the same time. It's either a force or not a force.

The effect was actually done using retroreflective tape; the building were indeed a physical model, with the edges covered in 3M Scotchlite tape. From first-hand experience (on other movies) the camera is placed behind a half-silvered mirror placed with a 45 degree tilt, with a projector underneath (in this case shining green light). The net result is the camera and projector are on the same optical axis, so no shadows are visible and because the tape (retro)reflects so strongly that's the only thing that shows up.

We used exactly the same technique on 'Superman', but projecting footage in sync with the camera and the most massive screen of Scotchlite behind the actors (it's must've been something like 200 feet wide and 50 high, so big we had to dig a curved trench several feet deep in the floor of Pinewood's A stage to fit it all in (my boss at the time won an Oscar for the flying FX).

Wanted to share a wonderful addition to scipy I’ve recently discovered for myself (since the topic kind of fits):

This was added in 1.0+, along with a few other trust-* methods, basically a quite modern miltivariate constrained optimization method, deals pretty well with noisy functions you typically encounter in ML.
I don't think separate but equal is okay. I was also afraid of the racial end but decided to make a hopefully non-inflammatory comment. I am not okay with things that say no Asians or no whites or no whatever. I was trying to describe something else, encouraging people of different backgrounds to do this dev stuff too. Like I said, no one in my entire 30 year long professional career every said "I wish we had more people like you" (meaning white men). Never once. No one said I wish we had more people from my school or state (which are both severely underrepresented in cs, I've only ever met one other programmer from my state, never another one from my undergrad school). I do have a sense of not being appreciated as an individual. Of course Asian people are all individuals, it's not fair to group what many people in the us would say that means (some kind of almost racist thing based on looks). I feel like I should point out again the ad also wasn't looking to hire someone like me (white male), and I never had a silicon valley internship, and no one from my undergrad school did either.

I have always heard and supported that we need more diversity. I think if I was Asian, I'd probably feel pretty pissed that the world seems to be trying to discriminate against me, for lots of reasons, among them that people should be treated as individuals. But I hope there's benefit in trying to encourage more people who aren't in the predominate groups.

A feature I didn't see anywhere is the ability to start the PI at a given time or after receiving a wake on LAN packet. This would be useful in several scenarios like performing some task, shutdown and boot again later, maybe at a time programmed by the PI itself.
Either way, it doesn't sound that great.

Of course this isn't analogous of the entire system, but I do see that a lot at least around here. But we never had very good hospitals or clinics for miles around. Just due to how much money is actually made, and how much they can spare.

Here we don't have too many options, which is why I think it goes to drugs so quickly. Though I personally believe that just about any issue I've seen can be fixed free from the use of drugs. Not a single one in the last few years have stayed on meds after working with us, and none of those have had any severe drawbacks (like suicide, self-harm, etc.) so that's a pretty decent track record. (in fact most are much better off after)

> Observe how the data visualization starts out like a normal line graph and then sharply tangents off in a series of colors that end in a generous spiral of red. "It literally looks like a piece of Modernist art," says Rusert.

> The art of the data visualizations is partially what made the information so compelling. "We've now had it confirmed by a couple of different art historians that it seems like [Du Bois' team] were also developing novel and unique styles in order to grapple with and represent this data," says Rusert. Take the spiral design, she says. "it raises questions about why they were departing from these more geometric shapes in terms of representing data."

"It sort of a reminds me of lynching and forms of racist violence that were happening during the period," she says. "It also reflects something about just the surreal nature of segregation itself, and what it meant for African-Americans to be living within this kind of regime that was wholly irrational and was also backward looking not forward looking."

Ask HN: Online banks where I can open account worldwide?
I travel to exotic countries to live and work remotely. If suddenly my credit card is blocked or stolen, are there any online banks where I can open an account and order a card by post to anywhere in the world, confirming my identity online?

For example, there are several banks which allows me to open a bank account without German registration and no non-residence, being in Germany. Unfortunately, they send cards only to a limited number of European countries. Even if they are ok with my passport I have to ask somebody to receive my card and send it directly to me.

As shady as LinkedIn is (and it's damn shady!), its use in mass manipulation and disinformation is far less important. It played a minor role in elections (everywhere, not just in the US), wasn't use as a means of public promotion of genocide as in Myanmar, and it doesn't have a large base of "alt-right" (and local equivalent) groups. The worst you run into on LinkedIn is awkward young professionals asking you out. That's hardly on the same level of nastiness as Facebook, regardless of how much of a threat (!?) it would be to media organizations.
