Good point. Maybe MacOS/iOS should have a feature where, just like going to a custom service that can launch an already installed app, such as zoomus://123456789, they can allow software vendors to register an install URL that users who don't have the app already installed will be directed to. Let the OS handle security, where it should be, and still make the first install user experience good.
Well it's hard to decide what's safe and what Ultra Apex Diet isn't when the labels are filled with words you can barely pronounce, but let's assume that maybe we can at least consider the herbal supplements safe. So they're safe...maybe a little expensive...and wait, a large majority of them are proven ineffective! Over the counter diet aids are not subject to the rigorous evaluations that prescription drugs are and the Food and Drug Administration won't ban much that isn't safe until it's rightfully proven so. Better yet, it's effectiveness is nearly not a factor.

Proven safe - proven effective - hypnosis for weight loss. Hypnosis will give you back control.

Fast and natural, no pills or supplements, weight loss hypnosis can work for you. Which diet pill is right for you? None of them!

Obesity or over weight is the results of having unhealthy and junk foods and without proper exercise. Most of the people around the globe are suffering from over weight and are trying out various methods to reduce the weight and to regain the shape and fit they always dream of. Weight loss is a simple process but it requires uniform and continuous routine in exercise and follows a healthy eating habit.

It's interesting to contrast between Amazon and Costco strategy as far as the store brands go.

Costco has 1 store brand, Kirkland, that they are open about and in fact push it as a equal/better brand.

Amazon on the other hand has the Amazon Basics as an economy brand but also have these numerous hidden brands.
I never saw a plane made of lego bricks but I recognized it instantaneously when I saw it for the first time. This hints about a different understanding process in deep learning and human brains. This is one of the points of the article.

Actually I don't think humans vision is based only on shapes or textures. There are many novel shapes of planes and we know that's a plane no matter what. We use understanding, with our knowledge of the world, not only the information coming from the eyes. I think it is much larger than what is encoded in a deep learning neural network.
Interesting. Having the core terminal/language down is a good start. An important part of any terminal will be it's support for plugins/extensions or otherwise natively replacing them the way Fish tries to do.

I've recently started using https://elv.sh/ as my primary terminal after testing it out on/off for 2yrs and slowly porting old ZSH aliases/scripts into the Elvish language (very similar to Go which it runs on), coming from a decade on ZSH. There's a lot of opportunity in this space.

ZSH with the full suite of packages with autosuggestions and various other plugins (which I've grown fully dependent on) can get very slow on initial terminal loads, even with tracing and optimization.

Smaller tools like ripgrep and exa both written in rust help speed up common terminal commands: https://github.com/ogham/exa

>Academic Torrents [13] uses BitTorrent to share scientific datasets, and BitTorrent has many drawbacks that hinder direct use by scientists. BitTorrent is for sharing static files, that is, files that do not change over time. Dat, on the other hand, has the ability to update and sync files over the peer-to-peer network. BitTorrent is also inefficient at providing random access to data in larger datasets, which is crucial for those who want to get only a piece of a large dataset. BitTorrent comes close to the solution, but we have been able to build something that is more efficient and better designed for the data sharing use case.
“Jumia – Indisputable Evidence of Fraud”
AMD RX 5700 XT vs. Nvidia RTX 2060 Super
I've learned to lean heavily in to my nerdiness. I have just learned to accept it's who I am, and if that means I am not the dude who goes out after work for drinks (for various reasons), then that is the way it is (lots of relationships are formed there). I tend not to go out of my way to 'network', and have missed opportunities as a result, but it really just isn't me. I've forced myself on occasion to be better at it, but even after many years, it has not gotten deeply into me enough to become a habit.

Here's an example.

I'm very introverted, and was at a company outing many years ago. Myself and another dev who started at the same time at the company as me (a startup in Seattle) found ourselves sitting at a table with the investors of the company. I'm not one for idle chit chat, and really had no burning questions to ask them, so I talked to them very little. They asked very little of me as well. But, the other dev sitting with us was super outgoing and extremely socially engaging. He peppered the investors with questions and eventually they really opened up to him. Over the next year, he continued this at every company event they attended. Then they started inviting him to social events at their houses. Over time, one thing led to another, and he eventually ended up starting a new company with the investors and left our company. I heard he ended up selling the new company for some $$$.

There were lots of lucky breaks along the way I'm sure, but the point is, I compared myself to him and felt like a failure. But, the reality is, I am just not like that guy, and though he achieved financial success, it is entirely possible that he may not have. I ignore the other equally socially engaging folks I knew at the same time who did NOT end up starting and selling a company.

I am not that guy, and he is not me. My only true comparison is my past self. And compared to that guy, I'm doing pretty damn well.
Right, I'm familiar with those. I'm thinking of the many clothing brands in particular. They all sound almost plausible.

I found this search helpful in verifying which brand names were created directly by Amazon and which (like Goodreads) were acquired companies: https://trademarks.justia.com/owners/amazon-technologies-inc...
Success isn't the best possible outcome vs worst possible outcome scenario you're describing. I made a decision at 30 to improve my life and three years later I'm reaping benefits.

Consider an obese man looking at a fitness model and saying "I want to look like that". He might never reach it but if he loses weight and becomes fitter and healthier then his effort paid off. He might think he failed but he's landed in a better position. I often remind myself that when I'm doing something I don't want to that I'm paying it forward to a future version of me.

> If Libra launches successfully and remains stable, those same places selling X MB of data for cash, could easily start selling Libra too.

Why couldn’t they sell prepaid Visa cards, or Venmo/PayPal (or whatever is the local equivalent) top-ups?

I get that having access to brokers that will sell a globally recognized hard currency for local cash is super useful, especially if it’s in electronic form.

I don’t get why it’s useful for it to be a blockchain, or why Facebook is the most likely company to run it successfully. When I ask people this the answer seems to be some hand-waving about regulation, but if this is hard for Venmo and PayPal to offer because of regulation, why would throwing around the word “blockchain” magically make it any easier for Facebook?

Yes and no.

1. Yes -- On old x86 systems, the x87 registers were 80-bits and the bottom bits were undefined. You could theoretically have a 1-bit difference on some results depending on what the bottom 26 bits (that were undefined, because you had 64-bit floats most of the time, even though the machine did things 80-bits at a time).

2. No -- Modern x86 systems use SSE registers, which are 64-bits. There are a whole slew of configuration options, but if Windows / Linux does their job, you should have the same rounding-errors across your program (unless you manually change the rounding options, but that's your own fault if you go that route).

3. Kinda yes -- Floating point operations are NON-associative. (A+B)+C does NOT equal A+(B+C). The best example is Python:

>>> (1+1)+2.053
9007199254740994.0
>>> 1+(1+2.053)
9007199254740992.0

253 is the first value which starts to "round off" 1.0 in double-precision. So (1+2.053) == 2.053, because the value was rounded off.

Due to #3, even if you did everything correctly (ie: set the rounding flags so they were consistent), if your arithmetic happened in slightly different orders (very common in network-games, where different players may have their updates in slightly different orders), you end up with a 1-bit error between clients... which completely borks your simulation.

Because #3 is nonintuitive, many people think that you get different results when using floats. But its simply due to non-associativity.
WebRTC typically does use UDP. But it certainly isn't as flexible as what you can do with a native app.
Because bash is the name of the Unix shell, differentiated from the traditional Windows shell.

Exactly. Once you stop comparing, how can one be but successful, in being themselves?

I think happiness comes most from acceptance, and then from having good company and people that care for you. Like you say, success is orthogonal, in fact, I think it's mostly unrelated.
Replying to myself because I found this interesting, so someone else might as well:

>We demand constant growth in the economy which won't play well with a rapidly shrinking population.

https://www.globalcitizen.org/en/content/world-population-ch...

Especially interesting/scary is the "World population since 10,000 BCE" chart.

I don't think a rapidly shrinking population is the problem that we are likely to experience.
> They could refer to parallel systems, most likely GPUs, where it is common to have slightly different results even on the same operation.

Parallel systems have great difficulty in defining an order of operations. Floating-point numbers are non-associative, so order matters for bitwise compatibility.

With that being said, you CAN define an order, and it CAN be done in parallel. The parallel-prefix sum is a fully defined order of operations for example, and if you sort all numbers (from smallest to largest), you'll get a more accurate result.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prefix_sum#Algorithm_1:_Shorte...

The + operations always happen in the same order, even on a GPU. So you should get the same results every time with floating-point math. But it is non-intuitive for many people to work with non-associative floating-point math.

-----------

Note that writing a sequential algorithm with fully defined order is still grossly difficult! IMO, if anyone wants a bit-accurate simulation, use 64-bit integers instead.

If you absolutely must use floats, then define a proper order of all operations, and include sorting the numbers (!!) to force a fully defined order as much as possible. You may need to sort your pool of numbers many, many times per calculation. But that's what you have to do to get a defined ordering.
You could have this kind of behavior if you use atomic functions - but you need to explicitly opt-in actually using those and it is not limited to GPU.
Safe Penis Enlargement Pill Are Penis Enlargement Pills Really Safe?

Wondering whether safe penis pills exist and whether penis enlargement pills are really safe? Are you slightly confused by the way manufacturers explain their products and you just want to know the basics? Good! This article will certainly help you so pay attention!

Here is the thing; you don't have to feel embarrassed and you don't have to feel alone. There are hundreds of men in the exact same position that you find yourself in. In fact, around 90% of men are unhappy with their size. Of course, it is only the small minorities that actually do something about it.

So what is it that you can do to ensure you grow quickly? Well, a lot of people suggest that pumps are possibly the fastest way to increase in size, personally, I disagree. Whilst it can be said that they do work, they offer a range of side affects including erectile dysfunctions and even long term bruising. There is no point using devices such as pumps when products such as pills do a better job, with less side affects. The trick is finding safe penis pills that really give results without risking your health.

The great thing is that safe penis enlargement pills are available online but are not so easy to find. There's no doubt there are many penile supplement scams on the market today. To ensure you buy safe penis pills you need to do a bit of research yourself or read research conducted by others online to make the best buying decision for you.

Agreed, the UI is far from perfect. I would like to have buttons for lots of stuff or at least shortcuts in the dashboard.

The stick including the wheel is most likely a stock version as it is used in nearly all Renault cars for the last 10 years. I have one in my 10 year old Megane and nearly the same in the 2 year old Scenic.

Yes, within the bounds of your ability.
My PCP, chiropractor, physical therapist, massage therapist, and acupuncturist all refuse to tell me how much treatment will be despite knowing exactly what they will do and how much it costs. Unless I don't use insurance, then here you go, these are our prices. But with insurance? We don't know the prices. It's fucking absurd. It's not even a market. It's just a way for them to fuck people over. Because everyone wants to live and be healthy. But seriously, you think congress will solve this shit? They are the ones benefiting from all the bribes... sorry, I mean donations I forgot I was in the US for a second. That's rich.
In case you're like me, reading this comment and thinking "how the heck is 1 plus 1 plus 2-ish like 90 gazillion?", it's:

>>> 1+(1+2.0**53)
9007199254740992.0

the bit about eye color is mildly interesting:

At about 6 to 8 weeks of age, “their potential final eye color begins to become apparent,” Miller says. “Full brilliance is not achieved until a cat reaches maturity.” Full maturity can take one to two years, depending on the cat breed.

I've been using the technique they describe with my daughter, but it often takes a long time for her to get from saying "pi" "ih" "gu", to "pig".

I have had more success with an experiment I'm doing, which is a side project of my bigger project, a music learning app. Since she loves to sing along with songs, I put words of some of her favorite songs displayed where they are highlighted syllable by syllable, synchronized with precision timing. This is displayed on top of the YouTube video of the song. It's more effective than reading aloud while pointing at the words (we do that too of course), and I think having it to music helps a lot.

Here's an example (she likes Taylor Swift of course) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ln9BenYpimQ

> On old x86 systems, the x87 registers were 80-bits and the bottom bits were undefined. You could theoretically have a 1-bit difference on some results

I spent a long time once debugging an issue arising from this. Code was basically:

double x = y;
[...]
if (x>y) fail;

Nothing in between the assignment and the check changed the value of x or y, yet the check triggered the fail condition. Turned out to be that one of the value stayed in the 80 bit x87 register and one was written to RAM as a 64 bit value, then loaded back into an x87 register for the check, resulting in the inequality. Running in a debugger wrote both values out of the registers before the check, making the problem unreproducible.
Weird... it doesn't work for me either from France, but it works from Belgium. I wonder why they would block just France.

Remember when UPS unionized and UPS management claimed it would make them uncompetitive, especially relative to FedEx? Curious that UPS maintains a much larger and healthier business than FedEx, _especially_ at the low-end where margins are tighter.

I think of that every time I feel the urge to defend Amazon's anti-union stance as a strategy to keep prices low. Now that Amazon's core (non-AWS) business is entering steady state, you need your labor invested in the organization to help streamline process, maintain discipline, and squeeze out profits, and one of the best ways to help accomplish that long-term is organized labor. It's not sufficient, but closer to necessary than American business is inclined to accept.

EDIT: I misremembered. UPS drivers have been unionized since the 1930s. I probably had in mind the 1997 strike where the union succeeded in forcing UPS to significantly increase wages and make a large number of part-time positions full-time.

We have this in our GPU computations, this is very annoying. The errors are usually too small to matter, but they make comparing binary results / reproducible builds impossible. Here is an example I just made:

$ python3
>>> s = [10**-x for x in range(16)]
>>> s
[1, 0.1, 0.01, 0.001, 0.0001, 1e-05, 1e-06, 1e-07, 1e-08, 1e-09, 1e-10, 1e-11, 1e-12, 1e-13, 1e-14, 1e-15]
>>> sum(s)
1.1111111111111112
>>> sum(reversed(s))
1.111111111111111

(it uses CPU for simplicity, but GPU has exactly the same math)
