According to Lundman earlier today [1] O3X ("OpenZFS For OS X") never fully made the transition from basing off of ZoL to illumos. So this won't really make a major practical difference for the Mac, O3X will just move fully back to basing off of ZoL and that'll be that. In terms of core feature set it's already doing pretty well, and has developed far farther then ZEVO ever could. If anything this might be good inasmuch as it'll mean ZoL specifically is getting another set of eyes towards maintaining portability, so perhaps long term both FreeBSD and O3X may benefit from a lot of extra eyes on it and a bigger userbase while not falling to too much Linux-specific behavior.

The H-1B is a specialty occupation visa that spans more occupations than most people are aware.

Most people associate it with IT workers, but many accountants, research scientists, engineers, and other professionals also hold H-1Bs. Where I work, it is the latter categories of professionals that dominate. Many of them have degrees from schools (e.g. MIT, CMU, etc.) much better than schools most of us went to.

And yes, some of them work at startups. They usually start out with an OPT after graduating and then convert to an H-1B.

IT worker and H-1B are not synonymous -- the former is a subset of the latter. It's unfortunate that the latter is used as shorthand for the former, and the two categories are conflated.
Copy a link send it as an IM, that already worked with ICQ. Update your status message in your message client, manually or possibly provide a client side API to do that, pretty sure there are scripts that do that for pidgin / Amarok, it also is definitely possible on macOS using Automator. There is no reason to involve a server other than possibly platforms like iOS not allowing interactions between apps in this way, which I doubt.

I believe you're misunderstanding the situation, and I don't blame you. I believe that when you log in with FB it'd bring up your typical permissions dialog that would say what permissions you're granting. Most people don't read these, and even fewer actually understand what they're really agreeing to.

There are 3 parts to a genuine apology.
1 we’re sorry
2 we messed up
3 here’s what we’re doing to fix it

This is a poor attempt at an apology. It just shows how desperately they acted to grow users with little to no regard for user privacy. That’s a typical footprint for a mercenary company, not one who’s mission is to respect its users.

Just look at how Apple apologized about their battery dilemma. Here’s a great way to show you care about your users https://www.apple.com/au/iphone-battery-and-performance/

If humanlike reasoning is the destination for AGI, there's more than just symbolic reasoning to factor in. Emotions are a huge control on human reasoning.

People essentially rely on emotions to make all their decisions. Emotions implicitly represent rapid-fire unconscious decision work.

Again the current popular understanding of the mind separates emotion from thinking. They are not distinct. Emotional processing is another kind of thinking, and it drives the show.

3½ years of copyright (with royalties, transferable once) plus renewals every six months up to 21 years with moral rights along with copyright term and up to lifelong after copyright expiration (no monopolies, non-transferable authorship, attribution only) would be the solution.

This will satisfy all the industry and academics, bar Disney.
I think you're drastically underestimating how hard it is to start a co-working space. Why would anyone want to work at your unheard of space instead of WeWork? How are you possibly going to attract people at even half their prices?

Some time a go I had to work on a heavy XML processing application and found out VB.NET had a nice XML literals feature. I completed the development using it and it was a joy.

EDIT: To anyone who didn't get it, XML literals are used like this:

Dim myContact = <contact><%= p.Name %></contact>
Dim allContacts = <contacts><%= From c in db.contacts Select <contact><%= c.Name %></contact> %></contacts>

This is a very good and detailed intro into the basics of FPGA debugging, or specifically in this case using the FPGA to stimulate and monitor an external device.

Using the ILA core would allow you to monitor the outputs in real time and draw a waveform which may be more useful for advanced tests. Some additional ideas could be:

1) loading a BRAM with some vectors and then playing them automatically at higher speed and monitoring the result.

2) similar to the above but driving vectors from a soft processor such as microblaze for more automated debug/stimulus

I was going to suggest hardware in the loop simulation, which used to allow a simulator to stimulate and monitor hardware - but it appears this now supports only system-generator and HLS use cases, and the generic RTL use case is deprecated.
Op’s Post talks about how they are inside Iran. So in this case I still say it’s a valid account termination.

If you are not accessing the service from Iran and you get dinged, contact support, supply supporting evidence and they will restore the account.

This isn’t Slack picking on Iranians, this is “if slack don’t do this, they can get into a whole help of trouble”. I’m sure some people are going to get dinged by mistake but I honestly doubt they are banning people because of how their name sounds.
> usually post hoc rationalisation built constructively to come to an already held conclusion that "feels right"

Counterfactual reasoning is a promising direction for AI. What would have happened if the situation were slightly different? That means we have a 'world model' in our head and can try our ideas out 'in simulation' before applying them in reality. That's why a human driver doesn't need to crash 1000 times before learning to drive, unlike RL agents. This post hoc rationalisation is our way of grounding intuition to logical models of the world, it's model based RL.

That's an avenue that's also being pursued, but it's not obviously superior to other storage plans. You've got lots of moving parts under high load, you need enough structural support to ensure that the top-heavy structure is stable.

It also doesn't contain a huge amount of energy - 1 ton of liquid NaCl contains about 700MJ of usable energy, you'd have to lift 700 tons of material 100m to contain the same in gravitational potential.

Ask HN: Has anyone built a biological compiler?
I keep hearing people say it would be super useful to have a design environment for biology, where the output is either a genetic circuit or some other implementable design, but I never really see anything that comes close. Cello and the folks behind Asimov are an interesting attempt, but I’m thinking more along the lines of Michael Levin’s talk. Does anything like that exist?
Sorry, I didn't mean it an insult, hence the question mark.

My veterinarian manages to give quotes - before they do emergency treatment, they come up with a low, typical, and high quote, and I have to agree to pay up to the "high" price before they'll start the treatment (if I refuse, then they'll come up with an alternate, possibly less effective, treatment plan.

It's a little harder to do that with humans since they aren't going to pause an operation, keep the incision open, and tell the spouse "We found an unexpected tumor, so let's wait an hour while we generate a new quote and you can decide if you want to pay it".

But that should be part of the quote "Unexpected events can cause us to exceed the quote", and then they should have to document why it was unexpected.
I have noticed too. It asked me so many times, I was really annoyed.
If your argument is that scale or extent of publicity is the differentiator, then we’re not talking apples and oranges: we’re talking apples and bigger apples.

The decision to be philanthropic is personal. Both in the sense that it’s up to the individual to choose based on their own feelings and in the sense that it’s, frankly, no one else’s business.
I see emotions as analogous to the value function in RL. It is essentially a prediction of future rewards based on current state and action plan. Artificial RL agents learn emotion as it is related to their tasks and environments.
Most? Like, over 50%?

If this is true, the system is completely broken.

If it's not true, then the system is completely broken, but in a different way.
you are delusional...
Not necessarily, it could be the hospital that gets screwed, they can eat the extra cost of the complications -- that could be factored into the base price, add X% to the bill account for the slight possibility of an unexpected complication.

I don't know a single kid at my current high school or my past high school that was not allowed to drink coffee. I mean, kids literally come into school with starbucks cups and thermoses. My old school actually sold coffee in the morning to students. Furthermore, Caffeine in my opinion is a lot worse than nicotine, because it disrupts sleep a lot, and will cover up the symptoms of short term sleep well enough that someone will think they are fine when in reality they are chronically sleep deprived.

A constant 30% discount on employer insurance via tax breaks does not explain the ludicrous growth in hospital bills over the last 4 decades.

Your vision benefits enjoy similar tax breaks, but I've yet to see an optometrist try to bill someone without benefits $800 for a vision exam, or $4,000 for a pair of glasses.

Its not the tax break. It's something else.

Chromium team fixed this issue by showing theme background color by default. So you should install some dark theme, e.g. this one https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/material-incognito...

$10K? That's ridiculous, I really wouldn't expect any kind of trauma visit to be that cheap, the ambulance ride alone could be over $2000 and the hospital could charge a "trauma activation" fee of $5,000 - $15,000 which doesn't include any treatment at all, that's just the price to have access to the ER facilities.

JSON doesn't support NaN or infinity, so most JS implementations emit null for NaN, +Inf, -Inf. In Node:

I'm not sure if throwing an exception is better or worse.

I think self replication and a vast, rich environment are missing ingredients in current RL agents. The human brain doesn't just do intelligent behaviour, it also builds itself up from a single cell. Neural nets don't grow like that, they are lesser, from a point of view. They lack the constraints of self replication - survival and procreation. The richness of the environment and the presence of specific constraints are essential for the development of intelligence. And lots of time to try things out.
I'm guessing that, like most legal things, the answer is "nobody knows until some precedent is set in court." :/
MagicaVoxel is great! Even though the program is not open source, the file format is documented by the creator [0].

Visit RHF page ww w. richherbsfoundation. c om. Its been over 1 years since treatment, i feel great and breath well
That's what it was like in the 19th century. If I recall correctly copyright law was established because of book publishers and the initial legislation had a default of 14 years before works passed into the public domain. After the 14 years publishers could extend the term by paying for it but each extension was only a couple of years. This unfortunately drastically changed during the second half of the last century when Congress was lobbied extensively.

I recommend reading Lawrence Lessig's book "Free Culture" which came out at the height of the file sharing craze in the 2000s. It explains perfectly how we ended up here and why it doesn't have to be this way.

It can be many things at once.

1. It can reform. This is often officially implied by names that contain the word "corrections".

2. It can satisfy victims who would otherwise enact their own idea of justice.

3. It can be a deterrent for others.

4. It can be a deterrent for that same person, if later released.

5. It can protect society by making the attackers be dead or physically contained in cages, and thus away from society. It's hard to rape kids when you are all alone in a concrete box.

6. It can fulfill a religious duty.

You seem to think that numbers 2 and 6 are all we get out of the deal. This is not the case. We get all of the above. With the possible exception of number 6, all of them are beneficial.

I'm pretty sure that number 5 is what the American system is mainly about. If you can't behave, you can't be with the rest of us.

Seems Youtube has gotten slower for me over the years... Playing an HD video Firefox 55 (w/classic, MP4) uses 30%, Chrome 70 uses 20%, but Videolan uses a mere 4%!

Another Indian with a similar mindset (not wanting to be on the h1b leash until I may or may not get the green card in another 10-20-30 years).

Lived in US for 6 years. Had my i140 approved a few months ago and got H1B approved for 3 more years. Was finally in the middle of getting a promotion to an architect role after 6-7 years working for the team. Literally threw away all of it and came back to India 2 months ago. Haven't even started looking for a job.

They gave me RFE for my H1B extension. I saw the RFE document and it was just a copy paste from some template. They didn't even have my employer name correct. And since I was in a state where they give driving license based on h1b, I couldn't drive for 3 months because of the RFE delay.

I am finally at peace after spending the last 6 years on the h1b leash, always living in uncertainty. There is no way I would have lasted while I wait for the green card. On some days, I used to cry while driving to work. I used to feel really strong emotional pain on most of the days. I haven't experienced any of that since I came back.

I think quality of life is not just a higher salary or a clean environment or better job opportunities. Part of my brain must have been seeing all this uncertainty as life threatening and pushed me away. I don't know how else to explain it. Sometimes I wonder if this is one way US is filtering out people because they want only the most mentally strong to be part of their society.

I’ve had to wait 3 hours in an ER in America - also have had to drop providers because they only had appointments weeks out.

The decision to go to a doctor is a financial one in the US, sometimes superceding a health one. Our life expectancy is dropping as well. It’s a broken system and adding more of what is broken about it won’t work, if the goal is for society to be healthy.
And today I learned (TIL) too!
