Based on your quote, I think you may've meant to respond to the other reply.

But a great many people don't have washing machines or air conditioners. You can rent the former, at the cost of more money and time. People die every year from lack of access to the latter.

It's not like air conditioners themselves are necessarily insurmountably expensive, although that varies by location, but you have to factor things like socioeconomic access to housing that comes with or allows it, as well as the cost of power to operate it sufficiently, plus having it be affordable enough that you already have it before it's a heat-stroke-and-die problem for you to not have it.

Sixty year olds with bad hips and fixed income don't generally go out and buy an air conditioner because it's hotter that year. Not everyone is a healthy twenty year old male with flexible disposable income, and sometimes people die because of the assumption that those form a useful ideal model of the overall population.

For this and sibling comments, one way to think more intuitively is in terms of odds p(yes)/p(no). So going from 99% to 99.9% is 10 fold improvement in conversion odds. That's why, for eg. "many 9s" of uptime is very hard.
> Really strange (In my non-expert mind) that it hasn't made its way to Sweden.

I had totally forgotten about "verbatim tool". Thanks.

Further, I see there's now an option to disable "relevant" (personalized) searches.

https://www.google.com/preferences

"Private results

Private results help find more relevant content for you, including content and connections that only you can see."

Followed by checkbox.

The linked explainer suggests the "relevant" (personalized) search is informed by your activity with other Google products. Skeptical me thinks that's hardly the whole story.

"Search results from your Google products"

That is a downside of community maintenance, for sure. Conda-forge probably needs official policies and suggested workflows to have multiple varieties of recipes where feasible. There is never a one-size-fits-all solution when a community serves so many different people with so many different use cases. Spack fits the "my way and only my way" mentality better. Conda is more "close enough, and already ready for me to use."
My small midwestern town just put vertical crosswalk markers in place on the lane lines right in front of my house. This makes life terrible because I live on 1) a major road right off of the freeway that takes a lot of commute and out-of-town traffic because it is 2) the route to the goddamn hospital. This means that the ambulances have to do crazy things to get around the people who have nowhere to get out of the way due to the signs, and more traffic backed up due to people inappropriately stopping at the signs. I also watched a rear ending at one yesterday. These signs are literally dangerous on multiple levels.

This particular flavor of skepticism does not promote thoroughness and responsibility, in fact it promotes laziness: "Why read (or even skim) through the article when I can just state these five ways in which the article might be bad and therefore its argument void?"
Java the programming language is in the TIOBE top 5, not OpenJDK.

Just like we don't have gcc, clang, msvc, whatever-cc on the TIOBE top 5.

Apparently mixing languages with implementations keeps being a thing.

Maybe we should also start arguing that C requires C++ to be implemented, given that all major mainstream C compilers are now written in C++.
This is great to see, and I didn’t know that there was a shortage or dermatologists. Just a few months ago my entire body got all blotchy and I ended up having to go to a dermatologist to get a biopsy. It ended up being full body Granuloma Annulare which is both rare an incurable. With no other options, I’ll be trying to cure it with diet.

That said, it couldn’t be diagnosed by sight alone. It looked very similar to many other skin diseases, and mine in particular comes in many different forms. I’ll obviously be following this research!

No, I meant to reply to you. I felt like you didn't have a good understanding of what wealth is, so I gave some concrete examples you might have nearby.
I used to believe this because I used to believe that toy models were exercises in the capability of our thoughts, and any such exercise is worthwhile. But we have a discipline for that -- theology. Towards the end of the 20th century philosophers that are widely considered to be a part of the modern canon (in particular William James and Peirce, Wittgenstein too) thought practice as being indispensable to theory, and that theory that is formed without practice just cannot have the experiential fodder necessary to ground theory in factual principle.

It sounds obvious when you say it, but here we are. Philosophers themselves have either (a) taken an "ethnographic turn" (c/o John Dewey) where they realize the limitations of there own expertise and figure the standard they should strive for is being stronger describers of reality, disentangling its confusions, or (b) acquired expertise in the thing they are philosophing about, which makes them a kind of theorotician or highly informed historian.

You are correct. My sense of history is very flawed. Even the construction of Chernobyl post-dates Fukushima, and in fact most still operating reactors.

Still, Fukushima has forced me to adjust my priors in estimating what the level or risk of a nuclear disaster is; before that I was a strong supporter of nuclear because I thought that the risk was essentially zero.
The extremely sudden illness seems more compatible with poisoning than with a disease, or more precisely, I’m not aware of any disease capable of killing in less than 24 hours from the early signs, at least in humans, but I’m not anywhere near an expert on dog’s diseases.
About the food distribution can be that it’s affecting only some common ingredient used by different dog foods so it will be difficult to pinpoint it. If I were in Norway with a dog I would rather avoid the common dog food until there is more clarity on what’s going on.

But the booster packs that contains those cards are still available for sell. So why WotC isn't the one profiting off of it, private businesses still are selling them and some people do open them hoping for one of those rare cards.

Yeah, writing homebrew to get the GBA screen to display whatever a screen displays under a colourimeter, and getting that to work with the actual colourimeter might not be so easy. I think getting a device profile for the frontlit SP would be the most interesting, since I've heard it produces colours more like the original GBA than the backlit one, but maybe a colourimeter designed for backlit PC monitors would have trouble with it. I don't think performance would be an issue though. mpv can do colour management in real time by generating a LUT from the ICC profile and applying it to each frame with GPU shaders.
"The leaflet suggests prices could rise and EU exit would lead to a decade of uncertainty"

I've never considered that (in itself) a satisfying or complete explanation, because it just handwaves away the problem of how it is that imaginary exponentiation gets you a rotation in the complex plane, and feels like you're just defining it as such, which isn't imparting any insight.

Yes, small children can understand the bit about "two half turns put you in the reflected position", but not "why is i rotating a complex number at all".

This works, but only if you're sampling the exact same space as the block size. For example, if your cipher outputs 64-bit blocks, but you want to sample in 2^32, you're back to the drawing board, because there's no way to truncate the cipher output without risking duplicates.
I went to a Q&A with him after a showing in London and he was asked something around if the movie portrayed him accurately. His answer was more that they shot many hours over a long period of time and he never thought about how certain things he said would be perceived. I think he was suggesting that it was more a decision while editing to paint a picture in that way.

> I was hired as a contractor/consultant by a major media company earlier this year to help the team develop some cloud based software. I was hired to improve their testing karate. When I started, I was constantly being blocked;

I'm going on a bit of a tangent here but this statement highlights some big problems in our industry. To me, being hired as a contractor/consultant means being hired to a job which satisfies some very specific requirements, not to be a butt in a seat on retainer to perform any immediate task which happens to come up.

As a contractor/consultant it seems the best approach would be to demand specific, well defined interfaces and use cases and to provide a solution which adheres to those interfaces and satisfies those use cases. If done right, your solution should be verifiable with acceptance testing. If the solution you provide meets those requirements you've fulfilled your end of the contract. The client is free to do whatever they'd like with that solution based on other criteria not in the contract. Based off your work, they're free to hire you for more work or not.

All this to say, don't get down on yourself. It sounds like there's an expectation mismatch between you and your client. It sounds like what you were expecting is closer to what I've described and what the client was expecting was another body to be on retainer for an hourly rate.
One of my big problems with file format patents is that historically they've been abused and used to place artificial restrictions on the user. There should be playback and encoding exceptions for personal non-commercial use, or at the give the user an option to export / convert their media into a standard format.

Have people forgotten the terrible user experience with media file formats in the 90s and 00s? You had to download a bunch of codecs and fiddle around with different programs in order to watch a video. The details on this point are a bit fuzzy, but I also remember having to needlessly jump through hoops in order to encode some audio files for my MP3 player. Fast-forward to the current year: now I can use ffmpeg for conversions and either mpv or VLC for playback, providing a vastly superior user experience. This is only possible because the developers of these tools have opted to completely disregard software patents.
Take writing an email to a professor vs going to office hours. You might write your question, hit send, then get the vaguest reply or one that doesn’t cover all the details that you need to understand the issue.

If you go to office hours, the professor right there will ask if you understand what they are going on about. They read your body language and see your glazed over expression and go into more detail or try and explain in another way. By the time you leave you are far more likely to know your answer and more.

My job now is a research position that is pretty collaborative, and being able to have face to face discussions with my co workers is a huge boon for my own understanding. I think if I were to work remote or communicate via slack I would loose so much understanding for the sake of working in sweatpants on my futon.
We are not as close to bioterror as this comment implies - there are still very considerable technical hurdles
Cooling can be a problem. Reactors usually have access to large amounts of water (cheap) to expel excess heat so you would need to pump the heat over a long distance to somewhere cool enough to dump the heat to. Or you would need to surround everything in TEGs to convert the excess heat (expensive).
Right, except for you software example, which in the case of video compression is purely math (which is discoverable, not patentable). It would be illogical to allow that patent.

This post is about "the compulsion to replace quantities with dichotomies (‘black-and-white thinking’), even when such dichotomization is unnecessary and misleading for inference" -- I don't understand why they're calling this deterministic thinking!

As far as I can see the phenomenon they're talking about has nothing to do with the quality of being deterministic, and I didn't notice any explanation of why they've chosen that particular word. Is there some other notion of deterministic aside from the usual one?
I set out to build a product I would want to use from scratch. I succeeded in that I deployed a web app that does everything it's supposed to do (More or less a Metafilter clone). This is the first thing I've ever put on the internet, and I definitely learned a huge amount (my day job is in ML and most of my side projects are data/stats/ML related). I guess the answer is that I set out to do both. I did one, and have been dragging my feet on the other.
That era also had competitive equation solving, i.e. math contests.
It seems in this case, the use of a fake virtual currency to disassociate it from real money is the underlying problem. And in that case, I do not see any analogies to existing TCG booster packs. Also, it would mean the problem extends to more than just loot boxes, and as such even in games where there aren't lootboxes regulation would still be needed when virtual currency can be bought with actual currency.

Displaying hex is quite fast (compared to trying to display decimal), though you're right that it might add up to a noticeable amount of time in the end. I did the full million digit calculation on that sample page on the same computer and it took a little over two hours (so 2.1x slowdown) but at that point I was also adding a 5ms delay every 100 terms.

It is fun to scroll down and watch the "cutoff", where digits above that are not changing and digits below that are. That's just as fun in hex as it is in decimal. But yes, maybe I should add an option to turn that off.

That's something I feel a lot of people are missing with the nuclear argument, we are having this argument 20 years too late. Nuclear would have been the perfect energy source of the latter half of the 20th century, which if embraced would have allowed us to avoid this ridiculous climate panic situation we are in. However, renewables would have ended up replacing nuclear anyway, not because of safety concerns, but because at the end of the day a wind turbine or solar panel doesn't need to be constantly babysat by PhDs with costly salaries.
I seem to remember when I was at a small ISP helping plan fiber optic networks, that fiberstore.com had a promotion going on where if you bought enough of their gear and made good reviews, they'd send you a free SFP reprogrammer which would somehow allow you to change vendor-locks on existing SFPs to let you take say a Cisco branded SFP and use it in an HP Aruba switch.

It seems silly to me how there's all these standards for the transceivers, but vendors still lock people in with hardware codes, etc.
The Myth of the Wealthy Welder
> As well, insurance and hospital costs are likely reduced since I'm more often just dead rather than maimed.

No, please stop. This canard has been repeated by the anti-helmet crowd for decades, despite having been disproven countless times. Even if you're a number-crunching robot and care for nothing except how much cash it will cost today, helmets are a huge win.

> Also, yes internet I understand that falling from a mountain bike at a slow speed can impact your head just as hard as falling from a high speed, that isn't the point, or even entirely true.

You're riding so slowly that a fall won't impact your head much, but merely kill you?

I have a highly complex understanding of wealth but I'm also very tired and typing into a web forum with a touchscreen. Some simplification is entailed.

Particular definitions of wealth depend on what's contextually useful, and are thus quite varied. But I've yet to see one that deals with having an increasingly poor Gini coefficient in a way that makes that a desirable outcome, or which absolves people of intentionally pulling on it for their own benefit without regard for how that impacts millions of others.

People doing obviously shitty things to society are doing shitty things to society, and you'd expect a good definition or model to show as much. If you fit an elephant to the data and squint in a way that makes it sound like it's actually good, when that contradicts observable reality to first order, it's probably a bad model.

> Has anyone found that recently Google search
> is becoming more and more useless?

Absolutely. I use DDG now. Google spams me with ads, and ignores my search terms.

This 'search disease' seems to be spreading, too. Retailers like Amazon, NewEgg, Ebay, and others happily insert results that they want the user to buy, instead of putting the user in control. On Ebay, half the time they remove filters I want to use. Amazon haphazardly injects their off-brand products into my results, even if I sort by price. NewEgg and Walmart show me results of partner retailers whom I don't know whether to trust.

Maybe this state of affairs works for the average user. It doesn't work for me. It mainly causes me to wade through pages of useless results, trying to filtering them out by eye.
From Observability to Monitoring and Then Controllability
It is basically impossible to find things with google anymore. Quotes don't work. You have to go to Tools on the results page, and change "All results" to "Verbatim". (You must do this for every search it's not a persistent setting.) Even then you'll often follow results and Control+F to find one of the key words as part of your query and it won't be on the page. Even DDG has been following similar patterns lately - it's a terrible time to be online anymore.
