A 200 pound person trained in TMA who also may have experience in XYZ context (read: actual something or other, MMA, or otherwise.) will probably do as well as the same weight and experience person with an MMA background.
Complacency can also easily occur via an MMA background in confusing a streetfight for a match or sparring, as above.
Aka: there are varying dynamic levels, from mere formal demonstrations of "moves", to people trying them out on each other in real-time but with less than harmful intentions, to competitive yet still structure brawling (you don't break the guys neck to end an MMA match) to shouting drunk with occasional jabs or scuffles on a street corner in some prolonged stupid social interaction, to something escalating ultra-rapidly in an unarmed state, to armed combat resulting in an unexpected close-range hand-to-hand encounter (both of the latter perhaps ending in the death of one or another combatent)

try not to simplistically and chauvinistically reduce it to "TMA sux, MMA rox" which is silly to say.

What!? What kind of pears are you eating? Do you mean “Egg Shaped”?

EDIT: I think I found the answer myself [1]; @OnlineCourage is probably referring to Seckel or Comice pears. All my life I have eaten either Concorde, Barlett or Bosc pears, but I just remembered that I also found Asian pears in many Chinese supermarkets. OP’s comment freaked out a little bit thinking they see Earth as a Concorde pear.

Software Engineers can learn HDLs in one or two weeks about as well as hardware engineers can learn C++ in one or two weeks. Will they get to something syntactically correct? Sure. That doesn't mean what they'd be able to write would be useful. And it's not just the toolchain, it's about understanding that HDL isn't a tool for programming FPGAs, it's a tool for programming hardware and FPGAs are one very specific target for which writing performant code requires a high level of knowledge about the underlying structure of the FPGA.

In LA they were run by a private company that was mandated by the city to keep fares the same as in like 1910 despite costs being far higher in the 1950s. Service was cut and cut and ridership therefore fell and fell until the company folded and the city ripped out nearly all the rails.

By contrast, nearly the exact same thing happened in NYC. All the trains there were private, went bankrupt, but the city bought and expanded the system instead of tearing it out.

This article does not jive with my experience whatsoever. I graduated from school this year, and I paid for exactly 2 textbooks in my entire college career. The rest were online pdfs.

Liquid lithium syrup is still available (with a prescription?). I purchased some, but without sugar it doesn't taste much like sevenUp when combined with soda water. The first time I ever had it (in a mental ward) it really tasted like sevenUp, but I think that was set and setting more than anything. I love lithium (especially in comparison to newer mood stabilizers), but I do have to track my liver function with it. I generally just use pills, but in other countries the liquid is more popular. This is all for bipolar, not for recreation. I'll have to check out that book from the old library.
> Governments are as untrustworthy as Facebook but more scary as they have a monopoly on violence and can take away your life.

That’s an extreme and reductionist position - and I feel it’s an incorrect position.

The state does not have a monopoly on violence - certainly not in practice, and in most democracies today the state is expressly forbidden from using any kind of physical force (domestically, at least) excepting emergencies (e.g. police shootouts). Corporations /can/ be just as bad: look at brutal Fortune 500-sponsored union-suppression in South America happening today, for example.
It's a pretty crude test, since you could always gut the laptop (e.g., replace the battery with a tiny one that could only run the laptop for 20 minutes) and fill the remaining space with explosives.

> I cannot imagine doing all of that myself and making the app free at that.

The only reason we are here talking about it is because its free software. Its not even about price, its about how Calibre evolved thanks to a community that grew around it. Maybe someone could start a proprietary ebook library program, charge for it, and make a living that way. But it would get orders of magnitude less usage and have done that much less good for the whole of mankind as a result. And the work of one person, or even a small team, is unlikely to accomplish all the features Calibre has because few people will recognize the collective needs of all book readers the way an open bug tracker and merge requests can.
However, you kind of want most memory usage to be in the kernel. Having something happen entirely in kernelspace is always better than having half of it happen in userspace. sendfile(2), for example.

To the degree that you can achieve "getting the kernel to do your work for you", the kernel memory allocator becomes one of the main determinants on your scaling requirements. IIRC WhatsApp hit this point with the FreeBSD kernel, and had to tune the heck out of the kernel to keep scaling.

(Tangent: why is it that we hear a lot about bespoke unikernels, and a lot about entirely-in-userspace designs like Snabb, but nobody talks about entirely-in-kernelspace designs? Linux itself makes a pretty good "unikernel framework": just write your business logic as a kernel driver (in e.g. Rust), compile it into a monolithic kernel, and then run no userland whatsoever.)

I'm mostly trying to clarify if the parent poster knew about something more than Webfinger, since his post mentions "DNS/http(s) services"; wasn't sure if that referred to Webfinger, or something else.

> How would/should/could a service be expected to take my email and determine what services it is associated with?

By following the OIDC standard, namely, using Webfinger discovery. I was mostly confused since, AFAIK, OIDC only mentions webfinger, not DNS, so I was curious if the parent to my post knew something I did not.

> as an end-user I don’t particularly want that to be possible anyway

I don't see why not. Note that this is discovering who the identity provider associated with an email is in an automated way — this is not discovering what services you log in to with that identity. That is, for "example@gmail.com", Webfinger would discover that Google is the identity provider. This is something a human can — roughly — already discern from the email anyways; this just provides an automated means. Moreover, it provides a means for the service wanting to log you in to then subsequently redirect you to; there are certain configuration parameters needed beyond just the email.

The idea is to make it simple for the average user: just enter your email.

> just because my email address is something@gmail.com, does that mean Google should be used as the OAuth provider?

Not necessarily, but I think the OIDC flow there is pretty good. One could imagine an implementation whereby GMail allowed you to specify an alternative IdP for your email, and then responded to with that when queried. This is more to do with Google's implementation. (Which, AFAIK, doesn't implement Webfinger at all, so it is kind of moot. And while I doubt they'd ever implement this sort of thing, the point is more that an IdP under your control could / that nothing in the spec prohibits it.)

> Maybe I use that same email address as an Apple ID and as a Microsoft ID as well.

I think OIDC supports this. The Webfinger query is not limited to a single result. (Though, given the paucity of webfinger implementations, I don't know how well UIs would handle this. But again, implementation vs. specification.) Even if that didn't work, you could always enter your IdP hostname directly into the RP, and it could either Webfinger that, or just see if that hostname is the IdP by attempting to pull the metadata from it.

(It is sad that most OIDC implementing RPs only give you a few hand-selected buttons leading to major IdPs to choose from.)
Poker is semi solved, not like chess is of course but to the point where good bots always beat good humans over a large enough sample.

There are objectively better and worse ways to play poker if you make some assumptions about the behaviour of the other players. In a small sample those assumptions may be false, but in a large enough sample it's extremely unlikely to be the case.

So it's extremely surprising to see a winning player employing crazily non optimal strategies (like betting 54o AI pre flop in a three way pot). That is just a losing play in the absence of information about the other players holdings.

The idea that he's reading people is absurd, even independently of the evidence of him not actually looking at people while betting. Live reads (to the extent they help at all) are incorporated in the win rates of the best players already.

The 'common ancestor' dates back to about the same time as the late heavy bombardment. It's been theorised that earth may have been suitable for life earlier than originally hypothesised, but the bombardment wiped the record.

If this is true, then there may have been many independently evolved microorganisms pre-bombardment, but only a few colonies survived because they happened to live deep underwater near volcanic vents. Perhaps also, in this era of reduced genetic diversity, one colony was especially capable of adapting to the new environment and quickly outcompeted all the other surviving colonies.

Or maybe aliens did it. Who knows.

...but it wouldn't be a "massive" tax. Do the math, 15,000 miles / 25 mpg = 600 gallons of fuel, which is $2.75/gallon. But much of the carbon produced by a typical westerner is from fuel used for heating, electricity, or manufacturing goods, so the actual figure necessary to balance out would be even less when spread over more than just transportation.

To be honest, I think that the "subsidy" is a made up number that would be unaffected by a different price of fuel, but if you take the idea and rhetoric of externalities seriously, then simple arithmetic diminishes the cost of global warming to insignificance. Not based on deniers' arguments or facts, but taking the figures of those who are concerned at face value. I remember getting much the same result from the National Resources Defense Council's estimate of climate change costs in a few decades.

Better to say the "externalities" are "infinite" than let slip that they are only a couple bucks a gallon. Prices of fuel vary by several dollars a gallon from country to country, so if the cost was in that range, some countries might well be paying it already...if not now, back when the price of oil was especially high...if anyone was serious about their arguments and numbers.

...and if you try to argue with me what the size is of the externalities, you're missing the point. I don't know, I only wish people would mean something when they talk about the topic.
Hope it helps last night uprising against the declaration of dictatorship by Carrie Lam. Seems some still do not get what us at stake.

As an addendum to this very good comment, that Nature article had a couple of big asterisks.

* Bet sizes were restricted. E.g. humans and the the bot could only bet fixed bet sizes, like 1/4 pot, 1/2 pot, full pot etc. Creative bet sizing is one of the skills that distinguishes top pros.

* Stack sizes were reset after every hand. E.g. every player in the hand was given the same amount of chips at the start of every hand. How you performed previously in the session thus did not matter. Anyone who has played poker knows that this is highly unrealistic. Larger stack sizes convey an ability to bully smaller ones, and stack sizes greatly affect what range of hands you can reasonably play.

The point being, even a supercomputer running the most efficient heuristic based poker decision making programs has not yet been able to beat humans in a game that resembles what a real 6 or 9 person table would reflect.

---

Just as reference, on a four-year-old quad-core/8-thread Intel i7-based desktop with 32GB of RAM, to solve a SINGLE hand in PioSolver (the most popular poker solver) from flop through the river takes my machine about 7 minutes. The game tree alone takes up 4 GB of RAM, and in this scenario there are only two players, and each player is restricted to 3 bet sizes.

The idea that this kind of computation can be done on a phone is ludicrous.
Maybe tangential but I notice that faith in machines seems to create consensus out of ambiguity (whether appropriate or not).

For example, in Tennis, replay shown by the Hawkeye system is not video but reduced to a computer animation. The animation shows the ball impact with an unreasonable shape and with sharp outlines of infinite resolution of both ball and line on every surface, even grass. Yet the result is accepted with little or no argument. So while ambiguity still obviously exists to the same degree, the final decision has been delegated to software and machinery rather than publicly reviewing the actual event via video.

I find two interesting things about this. 1) apparently having a human review the video and rendering the final verdict would cause more argument than black-box software and 2) Hawkeye has become part of the rules and so some players have found ways of using the psychology involved to their advantage.

This isn't necessarily true for a lot of parts of the world. Talented developers benefit from live hosted apps to be able to stand out in the job market, but they may not make enough to host themselves. AWS and GCE should ideally make it easier for them to do `git push aws master`, but I imagine they've decided that the free tier should be for people who actually want to play with infrastructure (e.g. employees at large non-cloud orgs), and that people uninterested in that aren't worth them providing even the free tier for free. I don't think that's the right call, but it's not an inconsistent one.

In and around a commercial district, there is. If your customers are living in a standard suburban area around your commercial core, the city will often provide parking so that those customers can reach the businesses in that area. See the publicly owned parking lots in Santa Monica, Santa Barbara, Palo Alto, etc. Without those lots, there would be a lot less business (and thus less tax revenue) because the customers couldn't get to the businesses.
