>The more I hear about other countries' supposedly "enlightened" criminal justice systems the more I prefer the US system

The "US System" from the outside is incarcerate everyone except those who can afford to not be incarcerated.
You shouldn’t prefer the US system because of cases like this. First mass incarceration has destroyed whole communities and costs the country enormous amounts. And the US also has plenty of cases with people getting away with bad stuff. Just look at Epstein. This guy should have been locked away probably decades ago but somehow his powerful friends (bipartisan) kept him safe.
No. The noise is the businesses responsibility to resolve, not the individual employee. We need spaces which take the needs of employees into account first when creating work spaces, not finance people masquerading as office space gurus.

A major difference is that TV doesn't spy on you while online advertisers do. TV targets ads based on the content of the shows, similar to how contextual ads used to work based on the content of the websites they were placed in. They don't try to spy on your each and every move.

As someone who emigrated up to Canada can I ask you to please not push American preconceived notions on immigration onto Canada?

Canada has a fair and accessible immigration system that has allowed a lot of people seeking work to quickly and easily get settled and find a job - it also has a buy your way in system that allows anyone to immigrate assuming they can put up a big enough pile of cash.

I'm a big fan of merit based immigration when that term isn't used to discriminate low wage workers and various ethnic groups and I'm really not a fan of the American equation of assets to merit.

Canada has it's fair share of racists attacking the immigration opportunity of low and medium earning immigrants. The PPC ran on an intensely regressive platform, but thankfully they captured a marginal 1.6% of votes only. The real debate up here is the question of whether the money these rich immigrants bring in yields more tax earnings into the system than it takes out.

So please don't drag American craziness into Canadian politics.
I think this is an important question to answer, but the shehab paper (the first link) provides vertically no useful information. They didn't blind the assessors carrying out the cognitive studies, which on its own invalidates their conclusion. They also didn't randomize the ordering, but appear to have "investigated for order effects", found "no statistically robust difference", then proceeded to have every participant do the "post exposure" test second, making it highly likely that fatigue alone could explain their effects. With only 30 subjects, their tests for ordering effects are likely underpowered.

Also note that they did 11 different tests, but didn't appear to correct for multiple comparisons [1]

This would be a really interesting problem to study, but you'd probably want to look at academic performance in college students before and after transfer between universities e.g urban vs rural (presuming you can measure differences in pollution) between the two, you'd expect to see a relative drop in academic performance going from rural to urban, now that would worry me. But this study is unhelpful.

> All new technology is overestimated short term, but underestimated long term.

Well, no, some technology is overestimated short term and also overestimated long term.

For example, flying cars. Nuclear fusion (though that one could still come through). Gallium arsenide (still one of my favorite names for a speed-metal band, and still available as far as I know).

The question is, which category is AI going to be in? AI for specific tasks seems likely to be underestimated long term. AGI? My guess is that it's overestimated long term, because it isn't going to happen. That's a guess. Evidence? Don't have any. Guesses are like that.

> On 8 November 2007, Kaloyev was released from prison, because his mental condition was not sufficiently considered in the initial sentence.[12]

He got off because of a process technicality on his sentencing (aka due process) not because of a lax criminal justice system.

8yrs for "a charge that falls between murder and manslaughter in Switzerland" would be pretty standard in most countries. The mental state and motives always plays a large role in determining someone's level of guilt. As it should.

Plenty of people get off because the prosecutors and judges are either overzealous or not following protocol, which ultimately leads to the opposite happening (legitimate criminals getting off easy).

It's the First blockchain implementation of the CD, which is the 3rd most popular product at a bank ($7.2T) in the USA and China alone.

It has the first chart of future market supply instead of total supply, and people can thus time when their stakes will end to not occur the same day as a whale perhaps, and reduce volatility. There's some cool game theory in there too.

My lead dev is busy making the wallet pretty I don't want to pull him off that to make the code look good for github, so if you'd like to see the code it's on the techspecs page, or I can add you to the gitLAB (where we actually do our dev.)

We've had 3 audits done, 2 on the contract and one on the math. Chainsecurity and CoinFabrik did them. I can't publish the Chainsecurity one because it's still under NDA until final approval by both of us (we're cleaning up the language.)

Make was what really drove home the concept of "developer time" for me, when after spending a quantity of time learning more Makefile tricks than I knew before and fixing the Makefile for our C/C++ code to handle header files correctly so that I would stop having to run make clean constantly, I realized that the Makefile cost the company ~$1000 for me to write. I'd like to think it saved the company more than that in future dev time, but it was still startling to me to realize that by deciding to rewrite the Makefile I had effectively decided that the company should spend $1000 on a build config.
Hmm. That means that in order for a human to get paid, they're going to have to be able to do something better than an AI can...
Have you ever tried any other system? Do you have some evidence to back up your conclusion?

It looks to me that yours is plain and simple confirmation bias.
Sort of, the noise is also your problem to solve if you want to be productive and keep your job in the long term. It's not just the companies problem. Especially as more companies move to this model it's not like you can just leave for a different gig with quieter space as it might not exist.

Therefore you must also adapt.
You mean the multi tens of thousand dollar FPGA set up that Xilinx hawks doesn’t have source control?
Certainly propagation delay is higher. But for many applications it is cheaper to implement them in software than ASICs.

And besides, FPGAs are used for web scale applications, many of them applicable to small computers.

Programming for more than thirty years here.

Within five years there should be multiple AIs that specialize in different types of programming. They will have a combination of a natural language interface and interactive screens.

Most of these will be based on starting with existing template applications and tweaking them to handle special cases. They will manage that by training neural networks on datasets that provide requested tweak descriptions and the resulting code or schema changes. They will have a fallback to manually edit formulas or code when necessary. AIs will also be trained to read API descriptions and write code to access them.

Within 10 years fully general purpose AI will be available that can completely replace programmers even for difficult or novel problems.

But some people with a GS get +9s and can't do anything about it. (They actually promise -1 to +10 when cased, for 9S65. Kind of disappointing.)
Surface-conduction electron-emitter display
I can vouch for that,[1] having done some work on appliance energy efficiency assessments, including studying actual performance (interior temperature, controlled environment, power consumption), a few decades back. Still in the "modern" era of efficiency-aware appliances, though not current experience.

The 1970s were a low point, with bad seals, insulation, and heavy-duty case heaters for defrost cycle.

One of the objectively most efficient units we studied was a 1950s Crosley Shelvador, one of the early self-defrosting concepts. Rather than operate on a timer, as modern refrigerators do, this one actually counted door-openings, a more useful measure, as frost accumulates as warm, humid air displaces dry, cooled air, and condenses on interior surfaces. More openings => more frost.

It also had sufficient insulation and tight-fitting, long-lasting door-seals.

The unit was also a beauty.

The programme, in which most refrigerators were scrapped (coolant captured, metals recycled), saw this on set aside, though it eventually met with an untimely accident.

No, I feel like that's the exact other way around.

> why countries are letting those small, insignificant islands and countries manage all this wealth

Some of the tax havens like Jersey, Isle of Man are British territories, Curacao is territory of Netherlands.

The big countries know what goes on on their little islands they just choose to ignore it for obvious reasons.

”because the sensor is limited by the amount of light”

The entire backside of your smartphone could be a sensor (think millions of pinhole cameras). That would give you plenty of light.

Correcting for your fingers covering half the lens shouldn’t be too hard, once you can build that. Keeping the thing smartphone sized, and not turning it into a heater could be challenging.

Software-only, one could grab 50 frames in half a second, and do magic to integrate the results into a photo (motion estimation could, if done near-perfectly for every pixel, tell you what pixel values to average for every pixel)

Modern smartphones don’t take photos; they use image sequences to produce images that look like photos.
Could this explain the "cliquey and flaky" nature of the city? There is no community, locals just don't care other than superficial niceties. Combine the two most exclusive cultures: rich and Asian, this is what you get with 27.7% of Chinese in Vancouver (2011).

I suspect everyones definition of middle of nowhere is a bit different. For example, to a NYer or Bostonian anything outside their respective cores is "nowhere". To people further south and west it seems to be a much more expansive definition.
Probably Not. But it can easily yield tons of new insecure, undocumented, unsupervised systems. So it's got that going for it, which is nice.

The ironic thing is "noise cancelling" headphone turn down the volume on the things easiest to tune out, and turns up the volume on things that are the most jarring.

Which is why I don't use noise cancelling headphones, instead you need passive blocking of noise, ie: material to dampen the sound from the office.

Sure sucks though.

Deploy a Text Generating API with Hugging Face’s DistilGPT-2
It is a way to create reasonably isolated environment without the VM overhead. On Linux it is usually called container and implemented in terms of clone() and cgroups, BSDs have jails, Solaris has zones and for Plan 9 that is trivial concept. What is special about the Linux and Plan 9 cases is that the implementation is based around stuff that is generic and not strictly tied to this use case.

As a side note: I’m somewhat bewildered by the docker-controlled-by-kubelet-on-systemd architectures as there is huge overlap in what these layers do and how they are implemented.

Do you mean 3D animation?

It looks like the interface returns 2D coordinates for the joints, not 3D coordinates; so it can't directly create 3D animation data.

It was also very jumpy in my browser, so it would require smoothing to be usable; or maybe if it wasn't running real-time it would be more accurate?

However a TV is entirely different than people being around me. There's noise from various directions, distances, and volumes—not to mention the awareness of people being near which always heightens my awareness of a situation, distracting from what I am trying to focus on.
In my experience persistent exposure to either wears away at your sanity after a while.

I don't know how the 1965 photo was made, but he went on to take more later, apparently in connection with amniocentesis. [0]

> LN: Oh, yes. There has been a revolution by a German optical company called Storz. They have made an endoscope with a diameter of 0.6 millimeters and one that is 0.8 millimeters. So now we can check the human embryo in a very smooth and very nice way.

> NOVA: Do you go through the cervix?

> LN: No, not the cervix. We make a kind of laparoscopy through the uterine wall. You know when the doctors are checking the genes with amniocentesis? We have done a few cases here in Sweden and in Europe during amniocentesis. And there we had the opportunity to take wonderful pictures of the fetuses.

I guess during laparoscopic surgery you typically insert a camera anyway, so maybe taking some additional photos doesn't add so much risk.

Thanks for your review, however, I wouldn't go as far to say that.

You don't know what a given nation-state will do or what tools they will use. It's likely that many of them use lightly modified, off-the-shelf tools. Additionally, guides in the app offer the possibility to discover avenues of compromise we cannot automatically detect (e.g., Gmail settings, Apple profiles, etc).

You're also looking at our 'minimum viable product'. We'll continue to enhance the detections over time, introducing new ones in updates that we expect will take people by surprise. We'll address the specific technique you described in your blog in a future version.

Finally, where you and I agree is that comprehensiveness of the checks are limited by Apple's own sandbox. As an app in the App Store, we're limited to using only public APIs. However, we also have an enterprise app that is capable of using significantly enhanced checks when distribution via MDM is an option.

I acknowledge, in the app FAQ and in interviews, that this is not a complete solution to securing iOS, however, it is the best possible you can do within the constraints provided by Apple. I think we'll be surprised by what we find as more people install the app and its detections continue to mature.
