Yes. :)

> You say yourself that this would require FB to make (naturally subjective) judgements about what is or is not political. The very best case scenario would be that FB ends up marginalizing fringe views.

That sounds good to me!

> But would you even trust FB as an organisation to reach a level of neutrality where only the most fringe views were marginalized? I certainly wouldn’t.

Why not? We have no evidence to suggest they'd be terrible at it.

Do you really consider the current state of affairs to be superior and/or ideal? Perhaps I would agree with you in a perfect world where more people were naturally distrustful of content, but we've seen that a large segment of the population is not particularly good at separating the wheat from the chaff.

I find adversarial attack super interesting. It opens up a field in machine learning where people questions the robustness of models. Adversarial examples exist because of many reasons, with data and weight space being high-dimensional as one.

IMO, the world needs to pay more attention to this, as we implement more and more AI applications. What worries me more is that we still don't really have a good solution to his problem. Pretty much every model that is defended can be attacked in another way.

My guess for now is that we would have to go all the way back, and question about the assumptions we are making about high dimensional spaces, and use a more rigorous way to prove theorems and lemma about AI systems, rather than experimentally saying the accuracy is high enough therefore it works.
This one's going to require some serious QA testing.
Ah, no, the Myers algorithm is also known as the "Sortest Edit Script" and your algo does not follow the shortest path or produce a script (just -1 for mismatches).

More specifically, it's not just something at the end appearing at the beginning causing skipping like others have pointed out. The skipping can happen in the middle. Consider the two sequences A B B C and B C A. Your algo will match the first Bs and then the Cs and skip the common B C together.

Even if you could somehow make it work, it would be O(N) but note that with all of the split() and map() and array indexing, it starts to be more like O(N+NX) where X is that potentially non-insignificant overhead.

Don't let me pooh-pooh you from trying but if you do give-in and use the Myers' algo, here's my C diff implementation:

This is actually pretty compact as diff implementations go and would probably be a reference for implementing diff in JS.

In Boston, in the mission hill neighborhood, I was really surprised that the Bank of America ATM handed out $10 bills instead of $20 ~5-6 years ago and that was the only ATM I've encountered that does that.

That said, it seems like all of the Bank of America and TD Bank ATMs I use in Boston are starting to let you choose the bills you want on screen. Was recently in Montreal and had the same experience there too so I'm guessing that's what ATMs are trending towards.

> This might age me, but I would like to know what you like about mailing lists compared to the UI of GitHub.

Me personally, nothing. This might age me but at the time I was requesting this, Github barely had an issue tracker :)

Now it has group discussions which are… better than nothing. And the world moved on to real time chat apps anyway. But I still wish a project by default would get a "forum" which you can send emails to, eg. torvalds.linux@lists.github.io. This is not useful for tiny offshoot projects, but it's super useful for mid-sized open source orgs that would want a discussion/feedback area for users without polluting the issue tracker. With controls for moderation, access, etc. Markdown integration. And so on.

What I mean is, just because it has an email input/output doesn't mean it only has to have that. You can still have nice UIs compatible with well-established protocols.
I don't buy defeatist statements like this anymore. Let's be real, if it turns out lies actually do "need" to be censored for whatever basically measurable definition of need you prefer, are you literally going to give up on democracy? What are you going to replace it with? Unless you just give up on morality entirely, you're still going to try to find a solution.

That means that the only thing "...then we can just say democracy is a failure" accomplishes today is give you a clever-sounding way to avoid thinking about a hard problem. That's not a good thing.

> Also, your link is biased because it is well documented that AMD performance significantly improves with faster RAM

This was more true in prior generations of AMD. Newer ones aren't as RAM dependent (largely due to increased L3 cache and a more efficient core interconnect topology). Of course any CPU will still perform some amount better with better RAM.

> and they used much faster RAM in the test only for AMD.

This is a bit of Intel's own fault. AMD officially supports 3200 MHz while Intel officially only supports 2666 MHz, anything higher is considered overclocking the memory controllers even though both are perfectly capable of going much higher than that. Also note the Intel has quad channel while the AMD has dual channel. Quad channel has higher bandwidth but is the same RAM is going to have to run at lower speeds that if it were dual channel.

> That RAM is very expensive so you need to factor that in the total cost if you wanted fo be fair when doing price comparison as well.

The link to the bench now shows "not found" so I don't know what the exact RAM used was but you can get 16 GB of well timed 3600 MHz RAM for $80 so whatever difference there is isn't coming close to affecting that $250 price gap.

Intel certainly does still have an edge on single thread performance but the interesting thing is it's an ever shrinking lead at an increasing cost

Savings glut isn't just at the level of individuals though - as long as it's in the form of savings, it doesn't matter who does it, sovereign wealth funds, pension funds, social security, insurance companies, etc. But that's just on the supply side.

The real problem is on the demand side of funds, we've run out of low-hanging fruits and marginal productive investments, whether in infrastructure, tech or labor are returning less than before, which drives the rates lower. This is in turn driving up the prices of existing profitable enterprises and premium real estate, squeezing out both productive ventures and labor.
Anonymous money flows aren't illegal. There are those that would like to make them illegal, but all they've managed to institute so far is KYC/AML laws relating to third party payment processors. These laws don't apply to cash or its electronic corollary, cryptocurrency.

Until a law is created that makes unmonitored use of physical and electronic cash illegal, anonymous money flows aren't across-the-board illegal.

One obstacle elitists have in instituting such laws is that enforcement would be costly, involving heavy-handed treatment of large numbers of end-users. Trusted third parties like banks are comparatively easy targets, being much less politically costly to repress.

1. It would help to know what doctors have said so far so that we can eliminate some from our hypotheses

2. I had a minor case of myofascial pain which has reoccured over 2 years but physiotherapy gets it down and strength training helps it stay at bay

3. However my girlfriend, who had a fundamentally similar pain has been suffering for more than a year and a half with days when she is bed ridden. It doesnt help that she's a biologist so her work at the microscope severely messes up her neck. The pain and stiffening keeps increasing, there's soreness and what have you. It is diagnosed as fibromyalgia.

4. The way we have gotten better at managing it is.
a. Physiotherapy. I can comment more on this once I know about how much of this maps on to your condition

b. Harm reduction of the occupational hazard(which applies to desk job folks too).

c. Very regular exercising

d. Majorly, diagnosis of nutrient deficiencies. She's been a vegetarian all her life so she was deficient in protein, Vitamin D and B12. Supplements helped with her recovery.

e. Some CBT. Chronic pain fucks your brain and muscular pain is exacerbated by mental distress. So mental health managrment is part of our stratergy for her.

Im sure this is super hard man.
Don't give up.

A statically typed compiled systems language with anachronistic C semantics and a regressive package dependencies system is never going to be a new high level DSL oriented scripting language. A far better take is that Crystal is the new Go, because it mixes the benefits of a high level language with the benefits of a lower level language, and learned a lot more of the lessons from the ruby and node ecosystems about how to manage code dependencies.
I also wanted to chime in and say that I periodically will have bad lower back pain. Consistently the one thing that will fix the issue is working out, with a plan. Core workouts, deadlifts, etc.

The key part is making sure you start with a decent trainer to ensure you have good form and don’t hurt yourself.

So, please consider some consistent, good weightlifting as an option.

NAT is not a barrier for traffic, so question 'how traffic get through a NAT' does not make sense. Router by default forwards packets. NAT just means that in some cases it also translates src/dst addresses of packets.

If you have a router with NAT and without (stateful) firewall or RPF, and such router receives a packet on wan port with dst address from your private LAN range, then such packet is just passed to your LAN (as NAT does not apply here). Obviously, such packet is unroutable on general Internet, but could be send by our ISP or by other customers of your ISP if they are on the same network (e.g. wifi AP) as your wan port. There are also more sophisticated ways, like abusing automatic decapsulation of packets (if enabled). Fortunately, in most cases a router with NAT also has enabled stateful firewall, so this is moot.

Well, this data would been incredibly valuable to insurance companies. If you could tie specific demographic information (which Google has mastered) to sleep and exercise routines, this could be used in a risk model.

I'm fairly confident this will eventually happen, as I had a professor explain to me that he wears a fitness tracker in exchange for a premium reduction. I think the incentive of the insurance company is that they found individuals wearing these devices to be more conscientious of their own health (I don't think they request any data at this point).

Even if you don't partake, these risk models will certainly generalize your demographic to their set of data.

From the Ad-revenue perspective, it's easy to see how they could target you for selling melatonin if your sleep pattern supports it. Or, maybe you're active, which brings about plenty of products to target you for.

> how do you know whether you’ll be next to a car wanting to turn right by the time you reach the junction?

Prior to the junction, you move into the center of the lane corresponding to your intended direction. If you plan to go straight, you get behind the vehicles that are going to make a right turn or go straight. Depending on how dense traffic is, you'll have to do this further in advance from the intersection. A lot of the time, you'll find that gaps are created in traffic by traffic lights. You can use one of those gaps to easily change lanes in advance for example.

> https://bicycledutch.wordpress.com/2011/05/05/state-of-the-a...

The problem with the NACTO guidelines for this design is that cyclists are hidden by parked vehicles until shortly before the intersection, so, if a cyclist is approaching from behind the motorist, it's not possible for the motorist to see the cyclist before they start making their turn.

Even with the curb extension, according to their example and measuring the distances in the provided diagrams on pages 12 and 13, a motorist will only be able to see roughly 8 feet down the cycle lane. That won't work when the cyclist is traveling at about 16 feet per second. The typical reaction time for something not completely expected is at least 1 to 1.5 seconds. The document also makes the assumption that the cyclist will yield to the car in that case, but many of them assume they have the right of way and that the motorist will stop prior to a collision.

The other problem is that current US law and driver education states that drivers must make their turns as close to the edge of the road/curb as practicable and yield to pedestrians. They don't say anything about treating cyclists as pedestrians, and they do say that cyclists are considered vehicles and have all the rights and duties of vehicle operators (meaning they're expected to follow the rules of the road).

In contrast, Dutch law and driver education is complementary to the intersection design you reference. But you're not going to change the law and driver education/training overnight.
I'm glad there's a safe way to do it. But that honestly does sound pretty complicated...

I feel like you're agreeing with the previous poster: "masculinity would be called into question throughout their life", and "far easier for femininity to coop[t] masculine concepts than the reverse." That's exactly what the previous poster said.

(Check out the story of Steve Shirley for a computer-world related example.)
Here are some examples of what I'd like to see a neighborhood watch organization do:

Proper investigations of crashes, near crashes, and violence against cyclists. The police generally don't care.

Keeping statistics. Those Twitter accounts are okay, but in my experience the police will often say things like "we had no reported incidents there" when I know that some were reported. I think having an independent database would be valuable.

Tracking down repeat offenders and giving them a talking to, and/or hosting an online wall-of-shame.

Helping cyclists handle bureaucracy, which seems to be designed to discourage people in my experience.

Fitbit owns ~6% of the 45bn dollar wearables market

Your point definitely stands, as a ~3bn market opportunity might not be at the scale of Instagram or Alibaba, but thats some good ROI
For the price point amd has been superior to Intel for atleast a decade. You could buy an fx black for a couple hundred dollars that absolutely demolished anything Intel makes.

I don't know why AMD was ever seen as the underdog. They never released something like the P4 which used that crappy RAM. They also basically owned the console market. Intel certainly didn't. AMD stock price has always been the whipping boy that was easy to predict.
I see only 3 of the 26 deaths in NYC this year as e-bike riders: https://patch.com/new-york/new-york-city/these-14-cyclists-d...

My reading of NYC data links motor vehicles to deaths and injuries: From mid 2012 to mid 2019, there were 940 reports of a crash with a bike as the primary vehicle and 1+ pedestrians injured. In the same time period, there were 69776 reports of a crash without bicycle as primary vehicle injuring 1+ pedestrians.
One more thing about AMD vs Intel. i was recently shopping for professional workstations and there is almost no offering for AMD so whatever they are doing on the consumer market does not seem to impact the pro market much at all.
What does it mean for it to be "unbiased"? What does it mean to "use up" a degree of freedom?

I don't mind if things just can't really be explained intuitively because they are fundamentally technical, but your explanation and the parent's both do this thing where it sounds like it's explaining things in plain common language, but isn't actually because it isn't clear what those plain words mean in this context.
Thank you: I'll definitely reference this if (and when) the bottleneck becomes our diffing implementation, or if as part of the editing experience we want to be able to show diffs between files that aren't stored in git.

Keep in mind that right now the implementation is for an in-browser code editor. The importance of the diff algorithm is primarily to quickly determine which HTML elements to re-render on a line-by-line basis. The changes a user makes between frames are at best single-grouping insertions / deletions (cut, paste, delete, insert). For a 2k LOC file, the render step (pre-diff) was on the order of 200ms: I was repopulating thousands of DOM elements every time a line was changed. Now it's at like 3ms, so under the 16.67ms frame cutoff.

I'm floored by the responses here though, this has been super helpful! I knew I was missing something academic here. :)

> I've been to doctor after doctor after doctor and I have absolute no more info then when I started.

If you haven't already, see an orthopedic surgeon (preferably one who specializes in spines - but any ortho is fine) and get an x-ray + MRI w/o contrast. Sometimes you have to request/demand the MRI - MRI's can be expensive depending on where you live/insurance.

The ortho can then either tell you what's wrong based on the imaging, or have ruled out a bunch of stuff and might refer you to another specialist for other tests.

And lastly, for the love of all that is holy: AVOID CHIROS!

At the very least until you have figured out what is going on/what the cause of the pain is.

Good luck!
It'll definitely be interesting to see if they do. If I remember correctly, there were some articles with recent Xeon chips about how their monolithic design was hurting them pretty badly on yields.

Cciee Vice Chairman Says PBOC Will Be First to Roll Out Digital Currency
Tell me about it. Rented a place in Amsterdam that came with a Ziggo connection. Wanted to play a game online with someone and I couldn't. No way to host a game. Called support, they said I had a shared ipv4 address. They'd be happy to switch it to a real one but then I'd lose my v6 connection. I didn't know what to tell them. These connections need to come with warning symbols, this isn't what I expect of an Internet connection (I think they deployed "dual-stack lite" but it isn't mentioned in the contract, and even if it is, it should be called "Internet lite").

Still happy with my XS4ALL connection on fiber. Proper /48 subnet and static legacy IPv4 address since ~2011.
