This is not really ML for what it's worth, it's gradient descent which is just basic optimisation, there is no training data or anything like that.

re: using AI to learn to factor integers / find primes - probably not doable yet. There are neural networks that could model an algorithm that does it (memory networks, neural turing machine etc.). But any target algorithm would surely be too complicated for the neural net to converge towards it simply based on binary signals and gradient descent.
He wanted the parents to research it for themselves, which usually means "Google around until you see some more conspiracy websites with the same story thereby becoming even more convinced." It's not entirely clear to me that he advocated for anything bad, although I will admit I don't watch his show. I do know that some of what people are repeating is not exactly true.

For years I've been buying "Snuglets" and using them on my magsafe connectors to make them more secure. http://www.snuglet.com/ They are a cool little product making the cable less easy to pull out but still able to come out if pulled a bit harder. On probably a total of eight or more Macbooks over the years I've never had the cable pull the jack too hard or have the cable break. Highly recommended...
> when you're a self-confessed hard typist

Whether or not you stick with the keyboard you dislike, you should try to fix this if possible. RSI is no joke, and “hard typing” causes excessive impact on your joints irrespective of keyboard.

You want to be using just enough force to reliably actuate the key.

(This is one reason that bad rubber dome keyboards are terrible: they don’t reliably actuate unless you really mash them, which trains people to type much too hard.)
I am not a congregant at the Church of IPCC. See you..like..never.

May I request that you do me the courtesy of reading what I offered above. Not just browse the graphs.
No, a car company should expect users to read the manual for rarely used and undisciverable things. Controlling the radio is not the same as looking for the service plan. Controlling the A/C is definitely not the same as changing tyres twice a year.

Discoverability is an important part of UX, and if you can’t solve that for the most common tasks, what good is your design?

I’ve driven over forty car models over the past 8 years (I don’t own a car, so I’m always driving tentals, friends’ cars, car shares, carpools etc.). Renault is the only one that continuously confuses me with their choices (after two weeks and over 1000 km). It takes a special, oblivious kind of designer to achieve that.
You should make the caps lock key your escape key, that's what I do. It's vastly superior to the touchbar escape key. In fact, I even prefer it to a regular escape key at this point, although my muscle memory does cause problems when I use somebody else's computer.

I removed the escape key from my touchbar entirely because I kept accidentally brushing it when I went to type ` or ~. I also had the lock screen widget on the touchbar for a couple months, but I removed that because again I kept accidentally brushing that and locking my laptop when I meant to hit delete.

I think you are right, Ivy probably never really used the keyboard. He probably has a desk both at home and at work with the magic keyboard and that keyboard is decent enough. The couple hours he spends on the plane travelling between Cupertino and London isn't enough time for him to build up empathy for what the rest of us have to go through.

What better time to rally and organized concerned (self-selecting) citizens? How hard would it be to give a shout out to relevant local orgs? Or to invite local experts up to the mic during the Q&A.

But the times I've tried to organize local tie-ins with national authors, the authors have been oblivious (eg hadn't occurred to them, seemed disinterested) and the host facilities actively thwart it (eg don't distribute literature on our property).

It's maddening.

As a counter point, Amy Goodman and Democracy Now! makes the effort to connect their audiences to the local orgs.
> ... engineers raised with a strong ideology, whether Islamism or communism, can be among the most rigid of thinkers. Engineering is “more attractive to individuals seeking cognitive ‘closure’ and clear-cut answers as opposed to more open-ended sciences,” Gambetta and Hertog wrote. And that training seems to encourage the idea of a toolbox that can be applied to any problem, such as the application of Marxist ideas to society, producing the rigid cruelties of the Maoist era and the crushing of dissidents under Xi in the 2010s.

I doubt I'd ever vote for an engineer president. We've had 2 (Carter, Hoover) and they've both been stinkers.

Meaning only a small number of users actually put the phones in water (because to them electronics and water don’t mix, despite ads).
It seems to be a recurring pattern. Business introduce some new form of support that customers like because it means less waiting times and less automated gatekeeping, but then companies look to put that back in to save costs. Web chat was the previous quick way in, but now that's been automated and reduced to the same obtuse trees as phone or email support so now social media is the fast/less BS option. That too will pass.
Please break down what you mean by self-sustaining for me then - tech is super specialized, requiring special resources to construct. There is very little of modern standards that you can self sustain - really, food is about it, and for everything else you need trade, and can't self sustain.

This is a work of art, and I enjoyed every second of it.
Rust is a lot simpler than C++. Broadly speaking. the only 'complications' it has over C are those that are actually needed to support its patterns of memory-safety-guarantees-through-RAII. The only real alternative is GC languages, and those have their own sorts of very real complications that do absolutely scare off performance-oriented folks.

The biggest problem with Rust right now is actually its novelty and lack of maturity, that makes using it at this time a lot more problematic than it should be. But Java and Python were once "new and unproven" languages, too.
I agree. Also (using the Notion iPhone app), the copy link in the menu doesn’t work, and the keyboard gets stuck open.

> but it certainly does not make "a lot" of noise

Personal anecdote but I was on an film set recently with mine, I'd planned to just work away because I was only going to be needed if things went wrong but on a quiet set I actually felt the keyboard was so noisy that I'd worry it would be getting picked up on the microphones. It felt uncomfortably loud even if they're filming a good 10 meters away.

I actually do like noisy keyboards in my own home, but the issue with Apple is if one size fits all then you really need to think of all the places that machine is potentially going to end up.
This sounds like working backwards. Up this thread, people have suggested that the reason is that gender matters more to society than height (this is why we don't announce people's height). When this argument is defeated by race, it switches again to what "seems reasonable".

Personally, I have an older wired Apple "chiclet" keyboard (short-throw, not long) and I can hit ~120 WPM on it- which is way above the 90 WPM max I get on a clicky mechanical keyboard (Cherry Blue / Green / Red).

I don't like their new keyboards, and I have a Lenovo Thinkpad keyboard which I love to use, too, but Apple's slightly older keyboards have a spot in my heart.

AeroScan (aeroscan.nl) | Software Engineers | Amsterdam, The Netherlands | ONSITE or SEMI-REMOTE

AeroScan builds a platform for managing and interacting with 3d digital twin models of real estate assets. Our mission is to disrupt the real estate asset market and empower our customers with valuable insights through digital twin technology by scaling UAV mass data collection, AI analysis techniques and 3D cloud deliverables. We have solid industry partners and have acquired private equity and EU funding to develop and realise our vision.

We are hiring software engineers, specifically we are looking for a 3D specialist who can help us empower our Javascript (Cesium based) 3D asset inspection tools, as well as work on our information processing pipelines that employ tools to generate highly detailed textured 3D meshes and point clouds and machine learning to anonymize, detect and segment elements in our continuous incoming flow of high resolution UAV aerial imagery data.

In addition to a 3D specialist we are also looking for an allround experienced web developer that can help us refine and build out our feature set. Our backend is mainly written in Ruby, but if you’ve got experience building modern web applications on any other stack you are more than welcome to come teach and learn. Our tech stack consists of Kubernetes on Google Cloud, running Ruby applications in Docker containers and static frontends built with VueJS and TypeScript.

You will be working with a small development team currently based in Amsterdam but that might relocate to somewhere else in the Randstad. We work in the office most days but are fine with you working from home some days in the week. We believe in giving you the liberty to make your own technical decisions so you can be happy and productive and we can deliver the best product to our clients.

If you are interested in one of these roles please contact me on tinco@aeroscan.nl
Respectable?

If hollywood accepts it and starts including it in popular shows/movies the respectibility level will raise.

You see local news personalities/sports stars all in tv/print ads. They are trading on the respectability of their primary career you would think they suffer from a drop respectability but it increases.
So it's worth it to you to spend 100's of billions to stop 30 hypothetical deaths? Ok. You're allowed to have that opinion. I'll vote against it every chance I get.

I have a mbp 2018 (with touch bar)

I dropped a full bottle of gin on it last week. The bottle literally broke over my open backpack with the mbp there. It seemed like I threw it on the distillery.

After letting it fully dry, isssues are:

- Couple small spots on the monitor. I think water got inside between the glass and display. They were very big (20% of the screen) and been reducing and now just 2 small spots (maybe 2-3%). These don't seem to reduce anymore but I will try to see if applying some subtle heat over will make them disappear.
- At first a couple keys didn't work, but now just the P and S seem to sometimes not register a tap, but when I press again, I get two of them. Not exactly sure what is going on or if it will go away. I would say it happens once every 20 or so taps (funny, writing happens there caused it on both the s and the p :))

Apart from that, all seems to be working fine. I can't say if it will continue, but I was sure it would be 'trash' after I saw what happen. Super happy it is working
The US spends a _lot_ of that on graft and corruption, as well. Even the article linked here mentioned playing politics with procurement, but also consider the billions and billions paid for military hardware that doesn't work and the Pentagon has gone on record saying they don't even want. The US has grown comfortable thinking it's still ahead while they continue to prepare for a style of war that will not come. If history is any guide, the next big war will be fought with a technology that takes advantage of the weaknesses of the previous leader, despite spending advantages.
The top hit for laptop in a windows machine, so what?

I remember being so worried about dongles and got extra. But then I found it better to just replace the cable to the printer and not have a dongle. Now they sit in a drawer unused.
I just bought a brand new (released 2019) wireless Logitech mouse. Wireless dongle and charging cable are USB-A

I just bought a brand new (released 2019) audio interface, connects with USB-A

In fact, besides my recent 2018 external SSD which came with an interchangeable USB-A/C port, none of my newer devices are USB-C

So, this is more like... I've got my VCR and a DVD player, and all the new movies are only coming out on VHS

Edit: I'll add to this - it's also frustrating not having any other ports on the MBP as well. I recently had surgery and was bedridden for a while, and the nest of cables I needed for ethernet, HDMI, mouse, etc.. was insane. Normally it's not a huge deal, but there's a lot of factors that have been making me regret not getting a Razer Blade when I was deciding between the two.

I probably won't be buying another Apple laptop.
Doubtless you're spot on but it would be so nice to actually get to see the comment you're shaming.
I've never yelled at my computer. Until today.
We don't have another 911 because it was a tactic that could work exactly once. No pilot/crew/passengers would stand idly by and hope things work out in another plane hijacking because they expect they're dead either way.
And yet there are hundreds of videos of animals suffering (electrocution, glue, etc) by non-English channels with hundreds of thousands of views and they don't seem to care.
Do platforms have the right to collude with each other to deny service to a particular individual? Even if you think Alex Jones is a crazy person (and he is), you should still condemn Apple, Facebook, Spotify, and YouTube for attempting to remove him from public discourse. If anything, it only made his crazy conspiracy theories seem more credible.
Wow! I had no idea collapsed was a thing. Thank you!
I think it's important to keep in mind the current capabilities of nations to conduct war. A modern war requires preparation. You need advanced equipment and the doctrine to use it, along with well-trained officers. And if you want to fight a war on foreign soil, you will need the infrastructure and logistics to supply your forces. All those things don't pop up overnight.

The fact is that the US/NATO forces are one of the only military force capable of conducting an extended invasion and occupation of another country today. China has a strong military and navy, but it is largely positioned for limited operations in the South China Sea. Which isn't a knock on the Chinese military, it's intentionally how they have positioned themselves.

In short, I think it's unlikely we will see another total war scenario in the current political climate. The only war I could see that unfolding is US/NATO forces attacking a peer or a close ally of a peer (like North Korea), and the US and Europe are so reticent of conducting an all-out war I don't think that will happen.
People believe that all forms of media, including all social media, are controlled by a leftist agenda now. What does "literally leftist" even mean in this context?

How is Fatherly[0] a "literally leftist outlet?"

The fact that so many of them are Gizmodo sites only tells me that Gizmodo joined the platform and all of the others came as a package deal. That's not furthering an agenda, it's good business, given Gizmodo's popularity.

If you get a Japanese layout keyboard, you get a bunch of extra free keys which you use for whatever you want. https://i.imgur.com/tuCklIJ.jpg

Particularly handy are the extra thumb keys (I use the one to the right of the spacebar for backwards delete, but vim users could put escape there.). Also control is in the right place and caps lock is in the hard-to-reach corner, where it should be.

One especially nice approach is to re-map all of the right-hand letter keys one position over to the right, spreading the hands apart, making right enter and shift more accessible, and leaving an extra column of easily accessible index-finger keys in the middle of the keyboard.

Most focus in how the borrow checker work "against" you but that is not even the harder. Performance and how manage memory are more "painfull" in rust.

BECAUSE NOBODY KNOW HOW DO FAST & SAFE CODE.

Not ALL the time. Without extra help of the compiler your assumptions can get wrong in invisible ways...

Rust WANNA:

- See what is costly

- See what is unsafe or not

- See what own what

- See what is on heap or stack

The borrow checker is just a part of it.
