It really is. Sure, it is an issue that it's the same subcommand as you use for many other things (which is being worked on with git switch/restore), but there is no other context where you'd do `git checkout .` if it wasn't your direct intention to get rid of changes in your workspace.
They should use KSP:RSS to simulate their orbit lol. There won't be any glitch then.
Show HN: My First React Project – Advanced Calculator
Solving inverse problems has been around forever, agreed. Not just in geosciences but also aerospace, biology, etc. But, some of the ways that people are beginning to use universal function approximators inside of scientific simulators is new. The techniques are very similar to traditional inverse problems though: use adjoint equations for gradients and update parameters with some optimizer. It's just now they models include more non-mechanistic terms to fit. There were hints of it before with latent force models, but I am not sure of anyone using this idea to successfully solve 100 dimensional PDEs until 2 years ago.

>There's more to machine learning than CNNs.

Most definitely agreed. I think there's a lot to do with utilizing all of the methods of machine learning neural networks and beyond, automatically within scientific simulation codes.
Your own link says that opinions are mixed, not that it's unconstitutional.
Because it's something they can control, so it makes them feel better to control it even if they are doing so for the worse.

Its refresh was better than LCD laptop monitors of the time, which had horrible ghosting - remember windows had an option to give mouse cursors a tail because without that you’d be hopeless to find a moving mouse.

It did suffer especially from burn-in. Remnants of the WordPerfect status bar were permanently at the bottom of the screen.

How four rotten packets broke CenturyLink's network
These are not people, they are businesses; and they are not victims, but producers of a product that they can also choose not to produce, or to produce differently.
As a high net worth business owner, I know a lot of wealthy people. They will simply follow prevailing trends on tax... If most of their peers are avoiding or just not paying tax, they will do the same. It is incredibly important that tax laws be strictly enforced or wealthy people will simply not pay.

Pretty much only form letters should be used for low income people.
The links confirm that the clouds are the part of the models. Moreover, from the actual research paper, which compared the models with their data they collected about the DCC (differences during the day, which are less important than the averages) when we parse the text we find:

"the mean appears to be reliable"

"this model tuning does not seem to invalidate climate projections because of the limited DCC response to global warming"

"it may potentially increase the uncertainty"

So the paper can't claim more than weasel wording: "may potentially increase the uncertainty."

It's the averages that are important. It's good that there's the research, but at the moment it still seems it's about the details which don't invalidate anything. Especially it's nothing that can be called

"unaccounted negative feedback loops"

as claimed by the post to which I've replied.
This doesn't really answer the question...
Consented censorship (i.e. opt in) is not only something good, but I believe it's an important factor in what's keeping decentralized social networks back. Users want the ability to censor gore, porn, etc. Facebook seems particularly competent in filtering this kind of content.
I feel that your second paragraph is disconnected from your first. This study is about the IRS audit process for publicly-traded corporation, not individual filers. We can easily fund more audits of publicly-traded corporations while decreasing the number of audits of individuals, even taking care to avoid targeting poor people.
And when Bush was president, people were spreading conspiracies that he arranged the 9/11 attacks to start wars in the Middle East. Heck, some of my high school teachers said Bush fraudulently won th 2000 election. Comment sections online have been shitshows since... forever? Similarly, rapture claims have been around since long before the internet even came into existence.

In order to demonstrate that the internet causes radicalization, you actually have to show at least a correlation between internet use and radicalization. And it takes even more to demonstrate a casual relationship. And we don't even have a clear correlation between the internet and "radicalization". In fact, the relationship we do have is an inverse correlation.

> but it pushes people's opinions very effectively outside of what's mainstream and otherwise "acceptable" in society, hence why I call it radicalization.

Has it? What unacceptable opinions have seen an increase? Over the last couple decades, support for immigration has grown. Opposition to gay marriage has waned. These are just a few examples.

I frequently find that those who point to "radicalization" online actually have a much narrower view view of what is socially acceptable than the broader society. Hence, why most of the allegedly "radical" views being spread online are not what the general populace considers radical.
Here's my hot take:

In places that I've worked, WFH is usually reserved for divisions that are expected to be intrinsically-motivated high performers. Some companies can afford to be staffed with nothing but these types of people; other companies are not so lucky.

WFH only works if the people that are W-ingFH are motivated enough by their work to do it without being supervised.

And for some job roles in some organizations, the savings from not having to hold an office for a role, are more than offset by the lost productivity from having that role as a remote hire.

I'm not trying to say that all HN-ers are magical special large-brained unicorn employees; but I've worked at several places where certain key roles are staffed by people that couldn't figure out how to effectively work remotely if their lives depended on it.
In what way? I am writing this from a Linux desktop. Couldn't be happier.

I have to use Windows at work, so it's fair to say I know the difference between the two.
The problem is that three-letter agencies aren't known to be big fans of due process...
Sure, but there is no 'pruning of the tree' in case a dead end is reached, so the citations stay allowing the quack to pretend they have more credibility than they do. In fact, the whole idea of these citations is to build credibility where there is none.
You might also like the Cantor function, which is also known as "The Devils Staircase"

It is similarly used as an example, for a function that is continuous but not absolutely continuous.

"IE Mode" is just IE11 virtualized into a tab container, with strict Enterprise-only opt in to it with a specific site list. It won't have the "Compatibility Mode" problems of needing to opt-out through strict DOCTYPES or server headers or trying to figure out magic like it thinks it needs "Compatibility Mode" because it is Monday on a leap year and uses a JS library with the name of the same JS library that would have a leap year Monday problem if it didn't run in "Compatibility Mode", at least.

It may prolong some Enterprise's dependency on very old sites or addons they should have weened themselves out of a decade ago, but you can't magically fix sunk costs (or stupid, for that matter).
>>why I, a hypothetical traveller, would choose to stay in someone's Airbnb instead of a similarly priced hotel

Because in a lot of places those don't exist. Hotel is at least 2x the price of a decent Airbnb. Not to mention that you get places on Airbnb which you wouldn't find anywhere else - last month we stayed at a farm in Wales where the owner was renting out a whole converted barn on his property, it was absolutely magical and I can't even imagine comparing it to a hotel or even a standardised "cottage" like there are many. And again, the price was unbeatable.
Goody.
Right, but those equal terms can still be quite expensive, essentially forcing those platforms into a bidding match. If Amazon can afford $100M and Netflix only $80M, Disney can offer their catalog to anyone for $100M, and Netflix would be unable to afford it.
To be fair, the differences here seem to be smaller than in other sports, suggesting that while testosterone is a factor it may be less than it is in other sports. If 90% of the competitors in these races are male, that would further impact this discrepancy.
EVERY orbit is elliptical.

100km X 30km are ELEVATIONS, meaning the real orbit is diameter of Moon + 100km X diameter of Moon + 30km.

I believe you'd be quite able to continue as long as your business either exclusively listed their own products... or stopped participating on the open marketplace you're hosting.

It'd be interested to see if this law would interact poorly with partner product reselling - "Oh yea, if you buy our CAD module we'll throw in a free copy of CAD with it" might actually come afoul the law, depending on the specifics. I'm sorta okay with losing that though.

Yeah, using non-parametric methods to approximate PDEs is really what this article is about, and it is a recent and very fruitful trend. I got a bit unnecessarily up-in-arms about phrasing.

Probably means they wont sue you or bill you if you use it in your own processor designs.
The article mentioned releasing a softcore for FPGA; that at least means you can run the instruction set on something.
There are even enthusiasts that might be interested in using an FPGA to build a whole computer; for example the Amiga community have a PowerPC based operating system.
Instruction sets must also be an acquired taste; Power seems complex to me; but a lot of people clearly like it.
For sure. There are so many more parameters to physical store. Proximity is a HUGE one. Quality of service. Specific items that they stock. These kinds of things allow smaller stores to exist in my small town even while there is a huge supermarket nearby.

On the other hand, I do not use ANY one-stop site for online shopping outside of Amazon.
The one true path is that there are no one true paths and that the most successful people seem to have the best managed iterative learning cycles (and write stuff down).
On a semi-related note, I occasionally look at the news items Google news suggests for me, and these include a significant portion of climate change denialists propaganda, including one shocked, shocked by Nature "suppressing academic freedom with this list" (and my searches are never for climate denialism).

Which is to say, these may be a few sciences but it seems like they significant resources behind them, somehow.
What I'm pointing out is that Netflix is not equipped to manage a shared server marketplace. They don't manage their own servers because Amazon/Google can do it more effectively for more reasons than expertise. You seem hung up on the idea that companies just want to give up money to pay other people to do stuff they don't like.

A better analogy may be legal work. Law firms offer a way to use lawyers as companies need them, and to share these resources among multiple companies. But all corporations still hire in-house counsel to fulfill the needs they know that they have. None of them say "analyzing law isn't our expertise, so we exclusively use law firms." But almost all of them use law firms, because there are niche specialties that aren't worth hiring for, and times when more lawyers are needed to handle a particularly heavy load.

WeWork can definitely fulfill similar analogous roles in real estate. When Facebook has three people who wants to work remotely in Missoula, co-working spaces will win their business. But Facebook is never moving its campus to WeWork, and any startup with over 50 people and decent funding will realize how unnecessarily expensive it is to use a coworking space, and cut out the middle man. What's left is not a $1T/year business.

I'm not sure that this makes a great case for him ceasing his endless fight to change "the real world in terms of technology" to reflect a vision that would allow everyone the choice to live as he does. It's quite literally the only thing he's known for, and all he'll be remembered for by most people.
As much as the more concerned of us cringe when we hear it, "Why should I care, I have nothing to hide?" is going to be the predominant answer to that question from the majority of facebook users. And morals and ethics aside, they have a point - very few facebook users have experienced a direct, tangible, personal harm as a result of facebook's surveillance of them.

The objections are always on the basis of what should be done, what could happen, and the (decreasingly) abstract harm it brings to society as a whole.

Grandma just wants to see pictures of the grandkids and hasn't had a police visit or her passport cancelled because of something she's said online yet, and she probably thinks those concerns are nebulous enough to not worry about, or scoffs at them as crazy conspiracy theory.

Maybe the right thing to do is try to convince her it's worth worrying that her grandkids might live in a dystopian surveillance society where a careless word can cost you your social status and career?
From what I hear the upload is just laughable even on the gigabit plans, and the data caps don’t help either.
I think it is telling that in one sentence there is a claim that it is faster than nvidia, and in another, a claim it does tensor flow. I do not think this architecture could do both of these at once. It could not do tensor flow fast enough (not enough local fast mem) to compete even with a moderate array of GPUs
This is one of the few things I disagree with her on. With that said she is my favorite candidate thus far.
I would absolutely love to see the Play Store and App Store spun off into independent governance as an effect of this law... the Play Store is less terrible, but Apple users are pretty much locked into exclusively using the App Store.
Big companies aren't charities, they only buy startups because they expect it will make them money. Why wouldn't they make money by remaining independent?
My main problem with remote work is there seems to be a lack of upward mobility. Most of the interactions I've had that have accelerated my career were face to face and wouldn't have happened over slack or email. Something to consider.
Russia is currently far more effective at creating lies and false narratives to influence western opinion than the Chinese... However, the Chinese now see the power the Russians have and will rapidly improve.

It's funny that you mention supermarkets, because the A&P grocery store chain was from 1915 to 1975 the largest grocery retailer in the US. At its peak in the 1940s, A&P captured 10% of total US grocery spend. It too came under scrutiny and was accused of being a "monopoly", as its cheap prices forced smaller competitors out of business. And yet despite being a "monopoly", it began to decline in the 1950s when it failed to keep pace with competitors that opened larger supermarkets with more modern features demanded by customers. It continued its slow decline until it completely shuttered in 2015. A&P was once as recognizable as Google or Walmart is today, and yet most people have never even heard of A&P.

Sears too once had a "monopoly" on mail order products. People marveled at how amazing it was that you could order a product, mail in a check, and receive the product six weeks later, all without stepping into a store! Now they're bankrupt.

The whole concept of a business "controlling" the market is ridiculous. Amazon operates in a highly competitive, low margin industry that requires a tremendous amount of logistical overhead to function. The minute they stop innovating, they're toast.
AFAIK those benchmarks weren't specifically optimized for that processor architecture. Most programs are optimized with x86 systems in mind. The results for your specific application might come out differently.
I don't think it's quite that close -- there may be sample size/participation factors involved here. For example, the top US women seems to be competitive with the top ~10 US men, which in more testosterone-dominant sports would never happen.

Elizabeth Warren is also targeting telecom. She wants net neutrality, to overturn state laws targeting local governmental plans to build broadband networks, and a public option for broadband. Her stated policy proposal technically doesn't mention breaking up telecom, but it would drastically change the industry.

Well not sure how it is in the USA but the big supermarkets in the UK defiantly abuse their position to bully farmers and even big multi nationals.

Forcing then to cut costs and corners (hence the adulterated meat scandals a few years ago) and bullying them into paying for in store promotions even big companies like Heineken have been shaken down.

The big 4 probably should be forced to divest themselves of their audit functions as well.

That seems pretty inflexible, and a potential invasion of employee's privacy.

I'm talking about employees being able to input their leave/overtime into an externally facing "internal" web-portal, or looking up tickets/jobs.

Requiring that they allow full enterprise control of every device that would access an internet facing website seems dragonian.

They are more than willing to hand out old designs to university groups (you just have to ask nicely).

I’m always curious how much I should trust this sort of reporting. Without more info, it’s possible this is manufactured anti state propaganda. And, in general, I’d rather have a lack of beliefs than a portfolio of beliefs that are 25% fake.

sometimes it cannot infer it even from function, for example, here is a function that in my particular OS gets me a pointer to my library's globals. To my code the returned pointer never changes, but the compiler has NO way to tell this function is const without my annotation

void* ret;

I didn't know that Hg already works with Python 3, that's great! The problem is that most distributions still will distribute the Python 2.7 version, I guess it makes sense until TortoiseHG catches up with Mercurial. I hope this happens soon, but I think that I'm going to switch to Git for the convenience of using GitHub over the other solutions (for open source projects the visibility is a good plus, for private projects I think GitLab is on par on features).

> I went and looked at the history, and the average delay from a mercurial release to the corresponding tortoisehg is only about 3 weeks.

3 weeks for me is a lot of time, that's at least 3 weeks I can't use TortoiseHg, something I use on a daily basis. Anyway, since this happened several times now I manually update hg and thg to avoid this problem (but it's a PITA). I know this is a problem with the distributor and not from the Hg or Thg devs, but still it's a common problem that could be coordinated between the two projects. I actually started using Mercurial because Thg was way better than the Git GUI tools at the moment, and I think this still applies.

In conclusion, a hope the best for the Mercurial project but I'm afraid this will have a negative impact in the long term.
