I currently live in such a neighborhood that checks all those boxes. Honestly it doesn't bother me that much. An interior bedroom and solid brick exterior walls mean I don't hear much from outside while I'm asleep.

I agree zoning is the wrong way to address this. What's needed is a responsive police force that will address noise complaints. Unfortunately police in areas where these things tend to be a problem have more important things to attend to most of the time.
Hi!

It's not "my" link. It's a hyperlink to a comment that I made here elsewhere that I think a person might like.

Are you upset that I'm trying to hyperlink to a comment that I made here elsewhere that I feel the person I responded to might find interesting?

Or are you upset that the text of the link itself is too long?

Or is your concern that the comment I hyperlinked to is irrelevant?

I would like the feedback of the person whose response resonated with me and thus placed the link there.

I don't like repeating myself over and over again. I prefer not having fragmented conversations if it can be helped.

Hyperlinking is the killer feature of the web, I think, so I use it.

How would you go about this yourself?

Yeah, vertical microcode always looked pretty RISCy if you're not used to it.

And FWIW, I've heard that there's two distinct uOp formats inside a.single core these days for quite a few of the uArchs. There's the frontends view which is concerned with amortizing decode costs (so wide fixed purpose instructions, that other wise look pretty CISC), and the backend's uOps that's concerned with work scheduled on functional units. A lot of the fusion happens on the front end, and a lot of the cracking happens on the backend, and the frotbejd tends to be two address, and the backend three address. So like a frontend's

and rax, [rbx, addr]

is something like

ld_agu t0, rbx, addr
ld t1, t0
and rax, rax, t1

on the backend.

I live in a place where the city council has all sorts of leeway on how to apply restaurant regulations when a new business wants to open.

I for one agree wholeheartedly, it makes a lot more sense to have your own company with a product or service, and use YouTube to attract customers for your business, while AdSense revenue is just the cherry on the cake.

Tim Schmoyer for example talks about this a lot, of how he was making over 10k usd a month in a channel with 10k subs or less, because he built a business model around the channel and not just based himself on addsense.

You're absolutely right that RGB differences are not very meaningful to humans. I chose to stick with the easiest approach for educational purposes, but I'd love to hear if anyone tries out a different color difference function.

Note that the authors tried other types of energy functions in their original papers, ones that didn't simply use color differences. No one energy function seemed to be perfect across a variety of images.
There are likely many people down voting based on the content of your comments here. Specifically, calling a school "scammy" and being generally negative about it, without providing much reason.

I have two Australian shepherds - One of them was a puppy when I read the book about Chaser. So I decide to try to sort-of reproduce some of the author's experiments with my dog - and I'll be damned if it didn't work.

I didn't go to near the extent of the training John Pilley did with Chaser, but I did do the verbal only approach and put the toys in another room - and I was able to teach him to retrieve probably 5 or 10 toys by name. I was really amazed. I didn't do nearly as much training with the second Aussie - but she picked up on the whole game even quicker than the first dog (because she had a role model?).

Another thing I learned about this game/training : it really wears the dog out. After 20 or so minutes of playing "go find the toy" they dogs lay down for a nap.

(ps. doing "nose-work" games with dogs also wears them out)
A "water grid" sounds appealing, especially given the uncertainty of climate change. But you have to consider that water is used so much by human that you need pipes on much larger scale than you need with petroleum (the water needed for agriculture dwarfs that needed for cities - it can be easier to move the farms to the water than the water to farms). And water is quite heavy given the amount being moved, so you much more energy than you need for petroleum. Just remember that to move a river across a mountain you need the more than energy of a vast series of dams on the other side - since a some proportion is lost to friction.
Hype has always played a huge role in the marketing of diamonds. It's been a myth for decades that the price of a diamond was somehow correlated with its rareness. Diamonds were, and are not, rare. DeBeers, as a cartel, was able to control the market and release diamonds from their cache such that the demand always out-stripped the supply. Now that diamonds are being mined outside of South Africa and the manufacture of synthetic stones is a reality, their hold is slipping away.

Two things. First, your link describes various punishments suffered by "good guys": legitimate sellers who've built up a brand and product set over time, whose thin margins are destroyed by those punishments. The bad guys don't have to spend near as much money on their fake goods, so their margins aren't thin and these punishments are simply a cost of doing business. They also structure their Amazon relationship differently, with lots of different accounts and brands and products, so that any particular adverse event won't kill them.

Second, I don't see anywhere in that link where they're talking about commingling and its related issues. I think that was already a well-publicized issue back in December when this link was published, so I assume that they didn't mention it in order to curry favor with either Amazon or with the various entrepreneurs in the Amazon ecosystem who agreed to be quoted. This link certainly doesn't establish that malignant comminglers are ever punished in any way.
I imagine regression to the mean in standardized testing is a thing as well.
> if it doesn't really hurt anyone

And you should! The problem is as long as you have neighbors (even distant ones), it's very hard to do ANYTHING that doesn't impact them -somehow-. It might be indirect, but it does. Heck, lets not forget that just the act of building or renovating at all (anything!) can be hell for the neighbors.

It's all gray areas and you have to draw the line somewhere. People work together to draw those lines, but obviously not everyone agrees on where to draw it. Even when they do, it's frequently short sighted. Not just for the NIMBYs either. A lot of "affordable housing" initiatives just make things worse for everyone, too.

Here's how "Best Sellers" become a thing:

Publishers count the number of books they sell.

This seems pretty simple, right? It is, but as a consequence, easily gamed. Publishers don't sell to you and me, they sell to book stores. So, you create some marketing to get people to preorder your book from a lots of different book stores. Book sellers inform the number of copies based, in part, on preorder numbers. There are ways that you can get book stores to order many more books than there is demand for by fraudulently (not sure if it's legally fraudulent, but maybe?) pre-ordering books, and stocking shelves with books that no one ever picks up. But boom, there you go - best seller.

If you want to cut out the middle man, and you're rich enough, you can just _be_ the middle man. Buy all the books from the publisher, and resell them. The publisher still gets their money, so they don't care. Again, now you have a best-seller.

And then, of course, there are legitimate sales that the best seller lists market themselves as measuring.

Book sellers don't want to be stuck with unsold inventory, so there's something of an arms race between book sellers and publishers/authors.

After seeing this game first-hand, I no longer believe anything on a best-seller list. As Amazon continues their vertical integration, it's not clear whether this problem will be addressed or not. The system can still be gamed, especially if it's run by algorithms.

So, basically, I'd argue that it doesn't matter whether WaPo is "right" or not because the input data is likely of poor quality anyways.

> voting is the only thing that matters.

Voting in most of the world is just a spectacle. If someone was elected that would in fact challenge the status quo (private property and police dominion for instance) they would be instantly murdered or imprisoned in a coup d'État.

At least that's how the story goes for revolutions in Europe/US and much of our modern colonies. As Emma Goldman once said, « if voting changed anything, they'd make it illegal ».

> Individual choices by a small minority of the population are going to be completely ineffectual

This is for sure. The problems are deep and structural and no individual action (however radical) can bring change. The issue is the people profiting from human exploitation and nature's destruction (the wealthy ruling classes) will never stop until it's too late. We have to stop them. Under some circumstances, voting can be a part of this process. But most times social change comes from the people, not a piece of paper.

Looking just at Redmonk's language popularity rankings, Common Lisp has risen over the last n years, and the most recent one had it right in the middle of the chart on discussions plotted with repos.

https://gsuiteupdates.googleblog.com/2019/07/limit-access-LS...

If the “Enforce access to less secure apps for all users” setting is selected for your domain when this change takes place, we’ll automatically select “Allow users to manage their access to less secure apps” instead. You’ll no longer have the option to enforce access to LSAs at the domain level.

Following this change, if you “Allow users to manage their access to less secure apps,” users will still have the option to access LSAs, provided the “Less secure app access” setting is enabled at the individual user account level. To minimize disruption in domains where we’ve automatically changed the setting from “Enforce access” to “Allow users to manage their access,” this account-level setting will be on by default at the time of the change for all active users of LSAs.
My math is not flawed. I highlighted that filing copyright claims can be completely automated. The punishment for doing so is nothing. I'm proposing a way to limit the false copyright claims.

It also shouldn't be Google's responsibility to resolve copyright claims.

If it's Google's responsibility, then you're just raising the barrier to entry for any YouTube competitor.

The people who benefit from Copyright need to themselves pay for fairly enforcing copyright. I can't imagine another way around it.
As a sad anecdote, my father was a systems engineer for most of his career, deeply into all things technical. He's 86 now, however, and while he has plenty of family around, his friends have all passed and he no longer has the brainpower to do technical things that he used to enjoy. But his mind is sharp enough to know what he's missing. He talks somewhat regularly about how useless he feels. I've got no good answers.

> This is what they're doing!! They're calling pre-orders "weak total orders".

No. Giving one thing two names is not an incompatibility. Giving two things one name is an incompatibility.

> "weak total order" already means "total order"

Does it? I've never heard it called that. I think anyone on hearing the term "weak total order" would reasonably infer it refers to some notion than a total order.

> "Weak" and "total" are both adjectives, and they're interchangeable.

No. This is completely wrong. Terminology is very frequently not compositional in such a simple way.

I mean, this works perfectly fine with words that convey additional conditions. It does not work with words that convey a removal of conditions, which is what the word "weak" does!

Like, in the phrase "weak order" (meaning total preorder), the word "weak" is not imposing the conditions of reflexivity, transitivity, etc. It is starting from a baseline of "order" meaning "total order", and then weakening this to a preorder. The word "weak" only weakens!

Anyone, on seeing the phrase "weak total order", assuming they know the general usage of the word "weak", can reasonably infer that it refers to something weaker than a total order. (Likely a preorder.)

Yes, this makes "weak total order" something of a ridiculous phrase, given existing terminology. But again, remember that "weak order" is starting from a baseline where "order" means "total order"; in a sense, "weak order" is really something of an abbreviation for "weak total order".

(...of course, all of this highlights the odd way that terminology for orders themselves work. After all, "partial" is also a weakener. I haven't studied the history, but I'd bet you that "order" originally meant "total order" (it's still often used that way), then "partial order" came later as a weakener, then the meaning of "order" shifted as the study of partial orders became more common, then "total order" was coined as a retronym.)

> If you want to make a comparison, what they're doing would be like using "a nonnegative positive solution" to mean "a nonnegative solution" (rather than "a positive nonnegative solution"). Or using "an fractional real number" to mean "a fractional complex number" rather than a "real fractional number" (i.e. real fraction). Which would be completely nuts.

All of these are examples where you're using two terms that both impose conditions, rather than removing them. The word "weak" simply does not work that way.
