I have a youtube channel where I post videos of dance competitions. Because it involves music, I frequently get copyright claims from whatever rights group that wants to take my ad revenue (which is 0 anyway because I disable monetisation on principle).

When you get a claim, there is an option to appeal it, all the way to a formal counter-notification which will remove your strike and require the claimant to institute court proceedings against you.

I have even used that a few times, years ago when I still got fired up by this. Now, I just appeal it once on fair use grounds and if it doesn’t get dropped I move on with my life.

Has something changed that doesn’t allow this particular channel owner to challenge the claim? (Genuinely interested as a channel owner myself.)
> I made a thing to audit that you are consistent with your indices [1] as an alternative to explicit named-tensor objects. And found, but have not used, another package in a similar spirit [2].

Cool, I will have to check this out!

> Although to be honest, simply writing A[n,μ,ν,c] etc. (using different letters for different spaces) makes it pretty easy to visually check that you are getting this right. This is one of the attractions of the notation, even on paper. Unfortunately np.einsum's string notation makes this harder to see, as the indices aren't adjacent to the variable name.

The problem is not so much the letter-space association but also handling the ordering of the spaces inside the tensor. For example in my code, to do a contraction over two indices, you could do prod<2>(a, b, "tlx,tr,p1,p2|tlx,p1,tl|tl,p2,tr") where the result would then have index order tl,p2,tr. The problem was then that changing the index order in one place (e.g. for performance reasons) meant having to re-check all other places where this is used. If you want to contract a tensor network like (d) in [1], this quickly gets complicated. With named indices, the above becomes a * b and if I change the index order in any place, it gets automatically changed there, too.

The problem with drawRect is the fact that texture upload is too slow. So instead of redrawing your text each frame and uploading the resulting bitmap to the GPU, you upload it once and then only change its shader’s uniform parameters which are cheap to vary (e.g. position, alpha, etc.). The textlabel object is nothing but a handle to this pre-rendered texture through which we can vary the shader parameters.
I pretty much did this with Japanese but there are a few caveats. Namely informal grammar study as fast as possible and learn to read quick as you can are also massive, massive boosters.

Of all the language learning methods I've seen I've only seen one thing consistent across all of them that in the end leads to results and that is you have to legitimately feel that it's deeply important to your life story to actually learn it to fluency. At some level you actually just have to care about the outcome. It's an emotional switch that once flipped, actually the method is irrelevant. I've seen every which way work. The constant was that it mattered to those people. And no one knows how to turn that switch on/off. Therefore I agree with the sentiment no one knows how to do it. I guess I'd be more specific and say that no one knows a fool proof method to engineer the outcome because it relies on emotional states and belief systems. As for the intellectual understanding of how to execute against learning a language. Plenty of seasoned language learners know full well what works and what doesn't.
If someone wants to learn a language just to enjoy its language & literature, and not necessarily be conversant in it, then would it be okay to never speak it? Or is conversation an essential practice?
…but it is the same State -> View logic.

It’s not. I am familiar with Cocoa. When the model updates, the controller or the view notice and manually update the view state to match – update text fields, change colors, push new views, etc. This way the correspondence between model state and view state is hardwired into imperative, mutating code:

func updateView(model: Model) {
if (model.updating) {
statusLabel.text = "Updating…"
}
}

In React-like architectures, the view state is never mutated from the programmer’s perspective. The programmer just writes a function that takes the model state and produces the view state:

func buildView(model: Model) -> View {
return Label(text: model.updating ? "Updating" : "Idle")
}

So the correspondence between the model state and the view state is declarative, pure code. That’s a huge conceptual difference, because it makes the result much more convenient, error-resistant and testable.
For a modern hedge fund, leverage doesn’t work that way... e.g. if I buy $1000 of AAPL (Apple) and (short) sell $1000 of MSFT (Microsoft), what is my “capital” and what is my “leverage”? My net capital use is $0 - I got $1000 selling MSFT and spent it again buying AAPL... in the end, it comes to a combination of margin required by the broker(s) - i.e. what they estimate is the black swan scenario where AAPL goes down, MSFT goes up, you start losing money on both trades and they can’t close the position fast enough - ultimately it depends on volatility but can be netted across many trades, and the overall volatility / risk of your strategy (i.e. how much you’re potentially willing & able to lose in a year).
The situation is somewhat comparable to English and French, where a significant shared vocabulary with identical orthography allows making educated guesses. That's not enough for fluent understanding, since many words that are common in one language only appear as rare alternatives to more natural expressions in the other. For example, the Cantonese pronoun 佢 doesn't ever appear in Mandarin texts.
Approximately, here is one example. I wanted to use something like a Vec<&[u8]> as a means of passing a set of buffers to a function. Likewise it made sense to return such a value from another function, g. The way g worked was to read or hold a large buffer into memory, e.g. 1 megabyte in size, and then parse out the slices from it. So maybe you'd want to return something that looks like the C++ type

struct Foo {
private:
vector<uint8_t> buf;
public:
// points into buf
vector<pair<const uint8_t *, size_t>> slices;
};

Well you can't do that. Obviously there are workarounds, like to return an object of type Foo holding the buf, with an api like impl Foo { fn getSlices(&self) -> Vec<&[u8]> }. Internally the object holds a Vec<(usize, usize)> or something like that, and you have a bunch of translation logic around your API's. And extra work to allocate the return value. So that's one example of Rust getting in your way.

Probably some others would be uses of Interval<Buf>, and some cases where functions return Buf in https://github.com/srh/nihdb . I wanted to use &[u8] to represent the bounds of intervals, and IIRC that generally involved passing intervals upwards into functions, but for some reason I can't remember it got annoying and I couldn't be bothered to do it.
Yes, it quite common in the industry to track down on piracy use, Oracle is not alone in doing surprise audits.

There are even international organizations that collaborate with national police on that regard, https://www.bsa.org/
Have you looked at Mithril? Looks a lot like React, but there is no need for immutability, because it redraws after events or xhr calls. You can just mutate a model/store object in event handlers and the UI reflects the changes. Imho, this is a much simpler model and it's what you need 99% of the time.
This is quite a bit different since Amazon Flex users probably fall in the Eligible users category as contractors. But of course, IANAL. :)
I don't think asserting that there's nothing more for us to discover is a good method of determining whether we might discover something new.

If an alien sense relying on physics unknown to us were to come to our attention, it seems likely to me that it would indeed lead us to discover that new physics. But since we don't know whether physics like that exists or not, we can't say whether such a sense could exist either. lisper has very clearly claimed that such a sense cannot exist because there is no such physics; I don't see how he could be interested in the question you state.

> Ones you listed are less about physics/external world and more about internal status of the body.

I'd say temperature, time, touch, hearing, sight, and smell are primarily about the external world and proprioception, taste, and hunger are primarily about the internal status of the body. That's really what distinguishes taste from smell. Acceleration seems like a gray area.
GPS on buses seems like a no brainer compared to other investments if you want to make public transit more popular. Being able to walk to the bus stop and knowing you’ll wait 1-2 minutes is great compared to running to the bus stop and waiting 15 minutes.

My local authority has had a free public API for a long time and also contacts people following up on how API use is going, arranging meetups for people wanting to code things with the API and so on.
FWIW they rhyme in New Zealand English. "Laugh" rhymes with them too.
I would agree with that. I spent 43 years as a developer and I would say at the end I had 2 important insights:
1 - to always consider the person who had to pick up my work and fix it or change it. That is, making it easy for them, not impressing them with my brilliance.
2 - that apart from the above, only the end result is important. The language used, the framework, package, or methodology have no importance except in achieving the end result and point 1.

I would say that if that is how you work you are old, or old beyond your years.
From what I understand, YouTube doesn't review challenges to claims, the actual claimer, the blackmailer will review the claim. And when the claimer rejects a claim the youtuber will get a strike. 3 Strikes and you are banned.
You nailed it with final quote. You can say shit that might motivate people but you can't reliably engineer them into the emotional state required to pull off disgustingly hard shit like like becoming world class at something. That's just an internal state that you either wind up at or you don't. And its the key ingredient.
Dark matter is the hole in the formulas, the dark spot were no lights shines yet. We don't really know whether it exists or not, we only know that our models of the universe have this strange corner were things don't work as they should work. And because all the others corners work so well, we assume that there must be something else.

Its called dark matter because the strange corner is in the models regarding matter. Thre is also dark energy, a strange corner in our models of energy.
I feel like there may be a need in the future to come up with trendy facial coverings. Might be useful to combine them with practical features like partical filters. Its also insane how you can be fined for swearing. Sounds like the police where harrasing some random guy and they expressed frustration in a non violent and ordinary way.

Those people don't understand that a lot of "german" manufacturing is happening in low cost countries. The bulk of the manufacturing remaining in Germany is highly automated.

I suspect it's mostly an optics/ignorance issue. If you never set foot into a modern factory, you could legitimately believe that german industry had not changed, simply because it's the same names as decades ago. But once you get the chance to take a peek behind the curtains, you quickly realized how high-tech those "dinosaurs" are.
China is racially diverse but culturally homogeneous. For reasons that are millennia-old, China has pursued a policy of promoting Mandarin language and culture; while it might celebrate the traditional clothing of the Hui or the music of the Uyghur, it makes damned sure that they all speak Mandarin in school and learn Han literature and Han values. Non-Han culture is tolerated, but only within very strict state-controlled parameters.

Europe is very much a melting pot, to a degree that would surprise many Americans. We don't necessarily have as many black or brown faces, but our cities often have very large populations of recent immigrants with strikingly different cultural values. Britain has about the same number of Muslims as the United States, despite having about a fifth of the overall population.

Fox News ran stories about "no-go areas for non-Muslims" in Britain, which is completely bogus and hugely incendiary but reflects the large and concentrated population of Muslims. The cities of Blackburn, Birmingham, Bradford and Leicester all have Muslim populations of over 20%; it's not unusual to find primary (elementary) schools that are >90% Muslim. There are neighbourhoods where the majority of women wear headscarves and the majority of restaurants and supermarkets sell Halal food. Choosing not to integrate is very much an option in most of Europe, so a lot of places feel very foreign.
You have not read the article or you have not understood it. For your interest, the article is about how a specific explanation to dark matter is put into question, not whether dark matter exists or not. If you want to discard dark matter you have to propose a better model of physics that also matches all our observations.
That's Massive View Controller pattern with widgets.

You might want to check out Model View Controller, with things like drawRect:: and "setNeedsDisplay" or "setNeedsDisplayInRect:"

Widgets and Massive View Controller are built on top of the MVC framework, and can be more convenient in cases. However, that doesn't mean the underlying MVC framework has disappeared.

UPDATE: And yes, the terminological confusion is awful.

Note that I'm referring to GNAT PRO & GNAT Community. I believe licensing are the main differences. Someone above kindly pointed out that not all the community libraries are GPL (some could be BSD), but I prefer the software I might use for production to have something closer to an MIT license.

In my eyes, I'd rather the default GNAT Community have a very liberal MIT license for the compiler and all the libraries, and have the IDE (GPS I believe),SPARK, support, and maybe some libraries as commercial products. That might not make sense for their customer base though.
”To save money eventually someone figured out they could sell a cheap TV without a tuner.”

I think it was as least as much to increase video quality as to save money. The antenna signal stage limited displays to the low resolution of televisions, that signal was designed for moving images, not for static text, and converting to the antenna signal and back added noise.

Once you decide to want to improve the use as a monitor, choosing slower phosphors (for a more stable image) and leaving out color (for cost cutting, and because technology for producing, say, 640x480 pixel full-color monitors at consumer prices didn’t really exist) were logical choices, and once you did that, using the tube to display a television signal doesn’t make sense anymore.

Chinese characters are hieroglyphs: they don’t have any relationship to their pronunciations.

For example, 火, the character for fire, is a (slightly) stylized brushstroke picture of a fire.

Mutually unintelligible communications that use the same pictures are distinct languages, but there are political implications to acknowledging this, so they’re “dialects”. As the saying goes, a language is a dialect with an army and a navy.
Interesting, I almost always got the exact opposite experience. How do you calculate non trivial matrix derivatives using index notation ?
I got curious about the CIA notes. When I was at uni, a GCHQ person tried to recruit people from the class. One of the things he mentioned was that they want people to pick up new languages and it's common to learn them during your career. I wonder if it's the same as in CIA (we can now claim we have an X-speaking analysts), or if the situation there is better for some reason. Does anyone know more details?
Tiny PWAs and why they don't render until you force refresh on mobile Safari.

The most efficient way is to be surrounded by people who don't speak your language but who also have a social reason to be interested in you. Complicated to explain, but buddying up with people to do language exchange is pretty garbage. The goals are fundamentally at odds for both parties so there is always this weird tug of war and the partnerships in my experience don't last because of it. It's not a friendship, so you're not in natural situations and the "so what did you do last weekend" small talk is just that. Small talk. Building real relationships works magic. Make friends on the other hand and hang out with them all the time and shit starts to accelerate pretty quick. The tricky part is actually making friends because before you can really speak you just aren't interesting. But if you can solve for that, and there are ways, then it's the sweet spot.
Over the past several years, I've been fascinated with what linguists do in the large: not the narrow, tight study of particular language aspects, the broad understanding of human languages in general.

One thing I think I got from this: languages are spoken not written. Once you start writing a language it becomes something else. In some cases, you even end up with an official language. A standard.

Human language is the use of sounds to negotiate meaning. So yes, immersion really is the only way to learn because with immersion all you really care about is whether meaning can be transferred around, not whether it's "right" or not. All of that correctness stuff is a different thing entirely than language. Perhaps the author's goal might be "speak language X well enough that others don't realize it's their second language". It's a laudable goal. I'm just not convinced it qualifies as learning a language. (In the colloquial sense, sure.)

People are actually experts in creating and learning languages. They take what they know, extend it a little bit, and work it into some pattern of speech that conveys meaning. Any time you hear somebody who's new to your country speak in a way that half their old way, half the new way, you're hearing somebody create a language.

But if you want to start fooling people, to invisibly blend into a society and not give anything away with your speech, I think you're going to need stressors, either internal or external. Otherwise your brain is going to learn just enough to get by, just like it learns everything else.
I’m sorry, but the terminology around MVC is completely broken, to the point where it’s completely non-obvious what people mean by MVC. So I don’t understand what you mean.

Italy is doing something similar - everyone with low income can apply to receive "citizienship" income, something like 800EU a month.

There are strict rules to avoid fraud (that probably won't work, will explain why): the State will give everyone that applied an offer for a private job in different time spans and different distance - you can only avoid one time.
Main problem is - there are no jobs that will pay more than that income, and people will try to avoid and keep the income for at least a year.

Surely, in my humble opinion, this is the way to go - together with stricter regulations on non-specialized work, where enslavement is going towards foreign population in EU countries.

In that case you can never speak it and still achieve your goals. You'll find you can get stunningly far in your comprehension and totally clam up when confronted with an actual conversation that you will do dismally bad it. It's quite funny almost. They might as well be orthogonal skills.

It's very fun and rewarding to just dive into pop culture and literature and enjoy that one aspect. I've loved it every time I've done just that dimension. Though you inevitably wind up feeling like you want to speak with people.
