I like many things about it, but I think having it default to a red-green complimentary combo is a little iffy. Those of us who are colorblind (and we're 12% of the male population, and 0.5% of the female!) will have a lot of trouble seeing it clearly. Maybe just have it start on square instead? Or maybe have the line start out horizontally between blue and orange instead of vertically between red and green?
I think my point is that the "bombardment" of ads is partly in due to the lack of monetization. There's a bit of a difference between print ads, and intrusive online ads. For example, you could turn the page... there was not redirect to "wow iphone user, you've won this prize!!!"

I'm actually ok with facebook/ig/google adwords ads. I'm not ok with intrusive, redirecting, in your face, ads. I could be alone in this opinion.
Directing policing based on how people feel rather than evidence is a recipe for getting it wrong (and, I suspect, is often how it does go wrong). That said, the same is true of pretty much everything.

No, if I interpolate a sequence 200, 400, 600, ... I might get 200, 300, 400, 500, 600, 700. I've not added info. If I look at real world situations and find that whilst the figures fall at the even hundreds it's more realistic that they fall in a range from 20 to 30 points below the hundred on odd-hundreds. Then I have added information, albeit statistically, and the resulting sequence like 200, 287, 400, 475, 600, 672 is no longer raw interpolation.

In this case they're using machine learning to add additional information about textures that isn't in the footage broadcast. They can add frames by interpolation, but the ML texturising and detailing is not interpolation.

Starting with a blob, if you interpolate you get a smoother blob, with this process you get a more structured figure.
That just means you're crossing your eyes the wrong way.

That may have been a case where the FMA instructions on Xbox 360 gave different results. Or maybe the code was relying on the x86's odd x87 floating-point unit, or maybe the compilers were rearranging the instructions slightly in one of the ways that is legal. Lots of reasons why floating-point math code might behave differently without it being a CPU or compiler bug.

The German government is the shareholder and appoints the board, but Deutsche Bahn is otherwise operated as a private company. For example, it operates at a profit, its CEO is compensated comparably to other corporate executives, and it competes with other rail operators both inside Germany (it has subsidiaries that compete to operate regional train service), and internationally. Amtrak is operated, for all intents and purposes, like a government agency. It operates at a loss, its CEO is compensated like a government officer (no incentive to cut costs to boost bonuses), Congress exerts significant political input into operational decisions, it does not compete with anyone inside or outside the U.S.
> However, for the last 20 or so years there were chants about the end of Moore's Law. Still appears to be going strong, "somehow".

Well, Moore's law has already slowed down quite a lot, and in the not too far future we won't be able to miniaturize further since atoms are only so small (e.g. lattice spacing of Si is, from memory so might be wrong, 0.54 nm).

Of course, there is hope for various non-Si based electronics; we'll see.

> My take on battery storage: several incremental developments coming down the pipeline on the anode and cathode side of li-ion batteries (improved chemistries, less cobalt, increased silicon %, new electrolyte mediums, etc). Combined with the "coming surge" of li-ion batteries and development for upcoming EV models with billions invested in new battery factories, it's hard to not see significant changes to the price within even a decades time.

To clarify, I didn't mean to say that we're at the end of the road for battery development today. Just that we cannot expect decades of exponential improvement like we have seen with microchips.

I don't think an order of magnitude improvement in price/kWh is out of the question (in terms of kWh/kg it probably is, though?). But two orders of magnitude? Color me skeptical.

In the Wikipedia article on autostereogram [1] there is an example of a chess set [2] where the 2D image directly corresponds to the 3D autostereogram image. It is apparently a type of wallpaper autosterogram, instead of random dot, which requires horizontal repetition for the effect to work.

After working out for 20 years, here's what I've learned anecdotally:

* Testosterone is proportional to lean mass and inversely proportional to fat mass.

* Cholesterol is a precursor to testosterone, so gen x being raised with the "eggs are bad" mentality lowered testosterone.

* Sugar and carbs cause body fat increase, not fat/saturated fat/cholesterol.

* High weight, low reps like the 5x5 workout seem to raise testosterone and strength better than 3x8-12, but power lifting fell out of fashion in the 80s, 90s and early 2000s due to injury concerns which were unjustified. Luckily, this is reversing due to the instruction available on YouTube.

* Lower and misallocated funding for public education has resulted in poor school lunch programs and no money available for extracurricular activities like strength training during adolescence when testosterone is highest.

* Phytoestrogens in factory farm foods like soy antagonize testosterone in boys and cause early puberty in girls.

* Our economy moved from industry to information, so gen x and millennials are far more sedentary than baby boomers and previous generations. I'll let other commenters expand on that!
Hypothesis: the rough and relatively unpredictable results are not so much a good fit for finished products as it is for _rapid visual prototyping_. A good art director could use this to quickly settle on a rough goal around which the rest of the game would be targeted. I'm aware the pipeline usually goes from art director -> development, but this could help, say, a competent dev team with a gameplay direction but no artist yet, or a long-standing developer that wants to use its existing engines and mechanics to draft new, distinctive franchises.
Including the example images was GENIUS. Love it.
Hmm, not sure if that logic flies. There are many people who hold the view that race (whatever that may be) is innate while homosexuality is not. They would argue that the latter can be “cured” while the former cannot. From that perspective the distinction makes sense. (I do not subscribe to that view at all, btw.)

Agreed on the poorly laid out website. I book once or twice a year and will always call in. The customer service reps are friendly and helpful. They’ll input different parameters and will hold a reservation I think for 24hrs without charge. If you don’t book the seat just goes back into inventory.

As someone who has flown back and forth to/from China a lot, it’s remarkable to the point of being a well known joke that the airplanes coming to the US have an astounding number of pregnant women, and the airplanes flying back to China have an astounding number of newborn infants.

The reason, of course, is so that the baby can be born in the US and thereby obtain the full rights of US citizenship.

So some of these Chinese engineers you speak of may be American born US citizens, although they’re wholly raised in and possibly completely loyal to China. The sad thing is that considering the culture someone was raised in (which seems possibly fair, though I’m not 100% certain it’s defensible) comes indistinguishably close to considering race (absolutely not fair in any way). The societal dialog exploring this distinction is fraught to the point that I am uncomfortable even making this comment, and I doubt HR departments are prepared to encode policies that are so perilous.

One escape hatch would be the US security clearance system, which is no doubt allowed to take many factors into account. But that wouldn’t apply here.
I think my shock price is roughly in the ballpark of 15 to 20 USD per season, and a maximum of roughly 100 USD total for an entire show.

This whole situation is absurd, and the idea of passing a law explicitly banning intentionally injuring a teacher during a training drill is the cherry on top.

It sounds like this whole training activity is being run by idiots that don't actually know anything about or respect gun safety. Shooting someone unexpectedly with an air soft gun is already illegal. If the teachers signed a liability waiver making it okay, it's on the teachers for willingly participating in a clearly stupid and dangerous activity. If they didn't, then the injured teachers should hire a lawyer and sue...
That is terribly ironic. Why did he use a loaded gun again.
Just because people in China have it worse doesn't mean we shouldn't be thinking about who can control what we see. And a dismissive 'learn to code' isn't a helpful rebuttal against losing a domain or dropping in search results, either.

New Zealand cops cuff alleged who shared mosque murder video, messages online
It was on a 3-hour "United Express" flight and about 20 minutes in, she poured an entire cup of water on the open laptop. It wasn't bumpy, and she was very apologetic, but I needed that laptop working to make a deadline, and instead spent the next 3 hours with a wet lap (the one lav was very popular) and nothing to do but stare forward once my phone died.

Luckily I located the original purchase receipt for the MBA11 (they required that) and it wasn't as bad a process to get made whole as I thought. It was a $1279 laptop (8GB option) and I'd definitely gotten my money's worth. It was, era-adjusted, one of the best products Apple has ever made, in a sea of lemons.

Anytime the FA comes through with the drinks, I put away the laptop as a matter of habit. Just isn't worth the risk.

If you are profitable, there are a truckload of people that will want to buy you. Private equity, other companies, holding companies.

Look at it this way - say I'm super wealthy and I have $100M sitting in my bank account. It earns a tiny interest rate at the bank. Where can I put it to work for me so that it's growing? One option is to buy a company for $100M. For $100M I can buy a company that produces $10M/year in profit (roughly speaking). Now I'm earning a 10% annual return on my investment. I might even be able to grow the company, so when I sell it 5 years later, I sell it for $200M. So I've taken my $100M and turned it in to $250M.

That's the great thing about profitable companies. There is almost always a buyer.

Good on them, that long division can be tricky.

Of specific interest are causal and predictive modeling frameworks, hybrid model frameworks that capture both causal and predictive features, statistical modeling frameworks, and abstract categorical models (cf. Homotopy Type Theory).

What are the better ways?
In a different HN thread, people were discussing how racially diverse California has become, largely due to the tech industry.

I wonder if that could have anything to do with it? As youth see more and more people who look like them find success, maybe they're less inclined to turn to a career in crime?

(Pure speculation here. I'm not from the area.)
The type of people who commit major crimes are the least likely to own a computer. Especially back in the 90s. So that wouldn't help explain much.
From the Tesla court filing: "As noted above, on January 2, 2019, Tesla filed a Form 8-K reporting its Q4 2018 production of “25,161 Model S and X vehicles, consistent with our long-term run rate of approximately 100,000 per year.” Then, during the January 30 Earnings Call, Musk stated that Model 3 production in 2019 would be on the order of “350,000 to 500,000” vehicles. Tesla similarly disclosed in its January 30 Update and February 19 Form 10-K that it was “targeting annualized Model 3 output in excess of 500,000 units sometime between Q4 of 2019 and Q2 of 2020.”"

So 2019 production estimate was 450,000-600,000 and the SEC felt compelled to file for contempt over a tweet that said about 500,000 units...

This is so frivolous, it's embarrassing.

You misread my intent, I'm sure I could have been more clear. "Why" in this case is not the subject of study, but the motivation (to repeat the OPs phrasing). Wearing an "applied" hat or "pure" hat I might end up studying the same objects, but for different reasons.

For what it's worth I find your characterization awkward; an attempt to map onto a simple spectrum that seems to miss something important. I'll have to think about why that is.

Also also a lawyer. There's a number of civil and criminal sources of liability triggered by the fact situation.

I think the OP is referring to the requirements for the sources which trigger 'big dollar' litigation remedies.

The Fenwick memo is pretty helpful - it distinguishes between Wrongful Use and Wrongful Acquisition. Most of the big remedies require Wrongful Use to be demonstrated.

If you read the Google Dapper paper from way back in 2010 it has this to say about sensitive information and logging:

> Logging some amount of RPC payload information
would enrich Dapper traces since analysis tools might
be able to find patterns in payload data which could explain performance anomalies. However, there are several
situations where the payload data may contain information that should not be disclosed to unauthorized internal
users, including engineers working on performance debugging.
Since security and privacy concerns are nonnegotiable, Dapper stores the name of RPC methods but
does not log any payload data at this time. Instead,
application-level annotations provide a convenient opt-in
mechanism: the application developer can choose to associate any data it determines to be useful for later analysis with a span.

Given by how influential this paper was and how it likely influenced FBs own tracing system it's crazy that they would choose an opt out model. To me this system design is their biggest mistake and one could have easily been prevented.
Like I mentioned in an answer to a sibling comment of yours, I didn't mean to say that we're at the end of the road for battery development today. Just that we cannot expect decades of exponential improvement like we have seen with microchips.

I don't think an order of magnitude improvement in price/kWh is out of the question (in terms of kWh/kg it probably is, though?). But two orders of magnitude? Color me skeptical.

Wrt cars, I think batteries are not too far from being viable to replace most uses in cars, city buses etc. And that will be a massive, and welcome change, in our society.

For long-range ships, planes etc. I don't see batteries as viable. My guess would be, for a future decarbonized society, synthetic hydrocarbons for planes and ships; some ships might use hydrogen or nuclear reactors.
Grecian pots are covered in paintings. Greek and roman sculpture was considered one of the highest forms of art by Pliny.

Pliny said this of Peiraikos:

It is well to add an account of the artists who won fame with the brush in painting smaller pictures. Amongst them was Peiraikos. In mastery of his art but few take rank above him, yet by his choice of a path he has perhaps marred his own success, for he followed a humble line, winning however the highest glory that it had to bring. He painted barbers' shops, cobblers' stalls, asses, eatables and similar subjects, earning for himself the name of rhyparographos [painter of dirt/low things]. In these subjects he could give consummate pleasure, selling them for more than other artists received for their large pictures.

Polygnotus? Apollodorus? Zeuxis and Parrhasius?

That's drawing just from Greek history.
"During active shooter drill, four teachers at a time were taken into a room, told to crouch down and were shot execution style with some sort of projectiles - resulting in injuries to the extent that welts appeared, and blood was drawn. ... The Indiana State Teachers Association is lobbying lawmakers to add language prohibiting teachers from being shot with any sort of ammunition to a school safety bill working its way through the Statehouse."

I feel like existing laws should cover this. If they need a new law so specific to this situation, I'd worry there's nothing covering many other situations.

Can they press charges for assault? That'd send a clear message.

This feels like a weird thing to say but exposing students (or anyone) to this seems like a really bad idea. By letting them experience that kind of terror, I feel it may give anyone with sociopathic tendencies 'ideas' and may influence them to seek that kind of control over others.
