My final thesis, that I'll defend next week, is about genetic algorithm and digital games. This is the project that motivated me to think: "how can we use genetic algorithm as a game mechanic?"; I end up implementing another experiment (I'll share the project here as soon as I have something more consistent to show) but this is the one that started the whole thing. Well, good luck to me.
It's unreasonable to expect hard science in superhero comics and films, but if you pay attention you get a "are you kidding me with this b.s.?" type of reaction.

Just take the opening scene in Endgame, for example. Tony Stark, stranded in space many light years from Earth, with mere minutes left of breathable oxygen. Captain Marvel conveniently appears out of nowhere and escorts him back to Earth and Tony makes a full recovery. That's lazy writing.

How about how Tony Stark conveniently invents time travel? Another example of poor writing and lame plot devices to move the story along.

The recent Stars Wars films are even worse.
I remember half-life 2 being delayed like for 5 years. Maybe even longer.

It sounds like GP is saying they had never used of those languages beforehand. I'm not sure why would be so surprising given that it doesn't accompany any other information like "and I had used 20 other languages before it".
Isn't the emulator emulating devices having a microphone like phones and such? It seems rational for it to plumb the host's microphone into the emulated one, so such features may be tested etc.
The key to get high delivery rates to GMail and Office 365 is to setup DMARC. When you have a proper DMARC configuration (and at least SPF) your delivery problems will suddenly go away.

Hosting your own mail server is not rocket science, but you need to have solid sysadmin skills and a good understanding of email as a whole.

If anyone is interested in doing this: Start simple with only Postfix and Dovecot, don't use a database for username/mailbox configuration as most tutorials suggest (start with text files instead). You can also start with OpenSMTPD and Dovecot if you think that Postfix is too complicated.

And if your setup is finally running, make sure to setup proper monitoring (e.g. make sure your mail server is running and answering SMTP connections). You can use free tools like uptimerobot.com for that and get notified before you loose mail.

Well...latter is illegal and the former isn't (usually) so I think there's a bit of apples-to-oranges, but yeah you got me, as we've seen being a regulated institution isn't a guarantee of good behavior. I still think the incentive, opportunity and the inclination of Google to not act in my interest is pretty high.

Over the years my heuristic has turned into: "Did the team formulate their problem as a supervised learning problem?" - If not it's probably BS.

In longform if anyone is interested https://medium.com/@marksaroufim/can-deep-learning-solve-my-...

EDIT 2: Social functions like happiness, emotion and fairness are difficult to state - you can't have a supervised learning problem without a loss function
In all fairness, are you aware of a tool for web developers that only ships the canvas and v8 engine? Legitimately curious, because I've tried looking in the past for similar reasons (game dev on an engine I already know) and came up empty-handed.
Yes. At least Jimbo is trying. He might fail, but at least he tried. Network effect is a bitch, as others already noted.
>I've been running my own mail server for 20 years

Yes, maybe rhizome is successfully running his own personal mail server but your anecdote isn't really relevant. We can't learn from your example because the hidden rules of reputation & spam may not affect you but will affect others.

For example, a commenter (lucb1e) argued[0][1] that I was exaggerating the difficulties of reliably sending email but a year later in 2019, he confirmed the same difficulties! [2]

Do you see why we can't reliably extrapolate from personal experience?

When Elie Wiesel compatriots and family were 19 years old (and younger) they had much much worse things happen to then.

Not that this excuses bad behavior, but on the grand scheme of things, to miser about what was or wasn't some purposeful sexual gesture from a Holocaust survivor decades later seems petty.

When I was 10 years old some dirty old man (apparently known around the neighbourhood for such things) tried to touch my pee-pee. If it was some important sexual incident, sure I'd be scarred. But for something like that, besides some anxiety at the time, I could not care less then or today...
Of course hardware switches for the mic/camera/baseband are out of the question...
I worked at a place that was selling ML powered science instrument output analysis. It did not work at all (fake it till you make it is normal, was told). So there was a person in the loop (machine output -> internet -> person doing it manually pretending to be machine -> internet -> report app). The joke was “organic neural net.” Theranos of the North! ML is a great and powerful pattern matcher (talking about NN not first order logic systems) right now, but, I fear we are going into another AI winter with all the over promising.
There is a certain sense of poetic justice that developers of Android applications be subjected to invasive spyware, since that describes the vast majority of applications those developers create.

At this point I avoid all apps that aren't from F-Droid. Both Google and Amazon's android app stores are packed to the gills with software that wants to spy on me and advertise to me.

I don't have any problems with Gmail, but there is no way to know why :)

As far as I know the most important factor for deliverability is your IP address: my /24 have been clean for many years because the network operator actually respond to abuse@ reports.

If you have problems my first advice (aside from checking that SPF+DKIM+DMARC+PTR+banner+etc... are OK) would be to find a better ISP.
It sounds like encryption was a necessary but not a sufficient requirement for Nebula.

In addition to VPN, Nebula added traffic filtering and spanning different clouds and data centers. I don't think Wireguard had those as goals.

They serve very different purposes. I use WireGuard to encrypt my mobile traffic but I wouldn't have picked it to connect the various hosts in my network at work. Nebula, however, might do the trick.

That's a fair criticism. Sentiment analysis is quite hard to get right on social media messages because of diversity, subtlety, and many other aspects. From my experience with similar commercial and (very!) expensive products, their accuracy is far from perfect too.

Also consider the lack of labeled data for HN and Reddit messages: I had to use Twitter messages to train the classifiers.

This is the reason why I tried to play with BERT to see if I could get a model to generalize well from only Twitter messages. From my experiments, if you activate BERT (which makes the app much slower), you should be able to get 60~70% accuracy.

It's not perfect, but not too bad as well if you are getting averages over a large amount of messages.

Overall it's still a work in progress, I expect to greatly improve the accuracy over the following weeks!

Encrypted SNI is solves exactly that and is becoming increasingly common.

None of these solutions work individually to solve privacy problems but all of them together are substantially increasing the cost and decreasing the accuracy of profiling users on-mass.

DoT never gained widespread adoption as an endpoint solution due to compatibility problems. It is technically the superior choice (Vs. DoH), but what good is superior if it breaks all the time? DoH is more imperfect but actually works reliably across different network configurations and client devices, which means it "wins" even if it is "worse."

Looks good but doesn't seem to offer custom domain support
Usenet is probably the most decentralized medium out there. If I am not mistaken, this how the protocol worked ... data was posted to one server, then every other server replicated the data for each client to consume. Typically the server had like a years retention for binaries and an archive for text-based stuff.

Usenet is sorta like mastodon and Reddit combined.

You mean you can send emails to <user>-<tag>@<domain> and it'll be delivered to <user>@<domain> account (assuming MX for <domain> is pointing at fastmail)?

Is there anything you need to enable to allow this? I just tried, and the email got bounced back.

Or are you talking about email aliases? As in, you register <user>-<tag>@<domain> first before sending emails to that address?
Get out of here with that logic. Just make a joke on how Google spies on us and be done with it.

Right, I like the loud music. But I don't go very frequently at all. I've been to a handful of shows, and the loud ones are always better to me. My ears ring afterwards, I know it's bad for my hearing. If I went all the time I'd definitely bring earplugs.

How many times do you have to go to loud concerts before you buy a set of earplugs? They even sell them at damn near every show I've been to, and disclaimers all over the place about the music being loud...
We can split and route orders to various suppliers. One of our first orders was 20 items from 19 different suppliers, so through that experience and much pain we made it seemless for the consumer. One page for order updates, unlimited different vendors. That ended up not being as hard as making the experience on the consumer side good, so that they didn't get 20 different update emails.
I agree. The title should have said "more than half a million people". then it would have sounded better.

Lets take the conspiracy theory at face value

2) Sweden tried to extradite him (via an EAW) relating to charges in Sweden
3) Assange goes to Sweden
4) The charges are dropped, but instead the US extradites him from Sweden to the US

1) Assange in UK
2) Sweden tried to extradite him (via an EAW) relating to charges in Sweden
3) Assange goes to Sweden
4) The charges are actually real, he goes to trial, gets off, then the US extradites him from Sweden to the US

1) Assange in UK
2) Sweden tried to extradite him (via an EAW) relating to charges in Sweden
3) Assange goes to Sweden
4) The charges are actually real, he goes to trial, goes to jail, then the US extradites him from Sweden to the US after his sentence

1) Assange in UK
2) Sweden tried to extradite him (via an EAW) relating to charges in Sweden
3) Assange doesn't goes to Sweden
4) The US extradites him from UK to the US

> What’s the “magic” behind this? Executives are coy, but biotechnology expert Oded Shoseyov, a Hebrew University professor who has consulted for UBQ, says melting plastics and waste creates a homogeneous substance strengthened by fibers in the organic ingredients.

The article then goes on to describe a typical waste recycling facility plus:

> a multi-chamber reactor that sits behind a closed sliding door to block prying eyes. Temperatures up to 400 degrees break down the organic matter into its core elements, and then it and the plastics are re-engineered into a matrix through chemical and physical reactions that UBQ keeps secret.

I fear there is really no story here. There is a lot of energy being put into this system. Something comes out, yes, but is it worth it? How is it better than a garbage incinerating facility?

There is no evidence presented that the material output is as good as the material input. Or that the energy required is less than traditional recycling methods.

This is way too early and way too long of an article to spend a lot of time on at this point.
It’s obvious that the rape charges were a highly selective enforcement action. It would be great if Sweden pursued every rapist as though they were Osama Bin Laden but the fact is they only pursued one.
China is quite literally imprisoning their own citizens based on their faith and harvesting their organs for buyers while they are still alive. That's in addition to their Orwellian social credit system. That's in addition to their less recent massacres and abuses of totalitarian power. Please just stop. There is literally no comparison. If you asked me to die by a gas chamber or by being paralyzed, but still aware, and have my kidneys taken out, I'd take the gas chamber.

I wouldn't say that this is true. Category theory has a definition of product of objects, sum/coproduct of objects, terminal object (unit type), and initial object (empty type). There is a correspondence between type and category theory where a certain type theory is the internal language of a certain category: https://ncatlab.org/nlab/show/computational+trinitarianism

The key claim of the presentation:

"Sweden is a US ally and was just going to turn around and extradite him to the USA"

Sweden's actual extradition agreement is much more limited than Assange claimed. The UK's is much friendlier to the UK, so if he was honestly worried about extradition his behavior was strange and is more plausibly explained by him trying to cover up his rape. His account was mostly false and deeply misleading about what Sweden did and did not extradite for, which would make sense if it was just a pretext. I believe he tried to dodge real and credible charges in Sweden, and all of his behavior, esp the narcissistic levels of dishonesty point to a rapist who was caught and got trapped by their lies.
It's funny you say that because some of the largest distributors in the world are basically what we have + a 3PL facility attached to it. Our hope is to partner with distributors who do the physical stuff and provide better software, which so far is working pretty well. We would be really out of our depth on the physical side of things at this point. Shopify just waded into their own 3PLs though which is interesting. Shipbob also does this quite well.

Dependency on Google is what I am trying to avoid.

I have finally began moving off of gmail, once that is complete, I will be free.

edit: spelling
I don't know the answer to that. I imagine different browsers/OSes will have different caps.

However, assuming the cap is an issue, I still strongly doubt that with `setInterval` you'll be able to get the precision you need to target specific monitor refresh rates, even if you can figure out a way to detect what the refresh rate is. Maybe if you're targeting Electron, but even there I kind of doubt it. Even with frame caps, `requestAnimationFrame` is still likely the best bet (opinion me).

The reality of games on the web is that timing in general, whether it be for update logic, rendering, or audio is kind of a massive pain, and you'll always be accepting some compromises. To me, those compromises aren't big enough to outweigh some of the other substantial benefits, but I don't want to pretend those compromises don't exist.

Legitimacy comes from having been elected. An unelected Government is, as they say, just a group of thugs who just happen to be in control of a capital city.

Within that definition there’s certainly some ambiguity as to what counts as a “good enough” election to confer legitimacy. Edge cases would be things like Singapore, Russia or Hitler’s Germany... but Communist China is not close to an edge case.
Just pulling a transcript of a given video, timing your reading, and comparing it to the length of the video would make this evident. And that's if the information delivery is perfectly optimized, which in most cases it's not. Compare 1hr of CNN to a 1hr college political science lecture, for example.

I believe that I, as an adult, have the freedom to hear whatever opinions or ideas I wish and the responsibility to come to my own conclusion on the truth of such ideas. To use the force of law to restrict the expression of ideas merely because they cause offense conflicts directly both with my rights and responsibilities.
