Quick search on Apple store (Canada prices):

Watch series 540mm, sports band, gps + cellular: $659
AirPods and regular charging case: $219
Combo = $878

iPhone 11 = $979

You could pick different models to make either case true (eg. iPhone XR is $799, watch series 3 cellular is $429). But nonetheless watch + AirPods is pretty close to the price of a phone it seems!

I was pleasantly surprised by bestbuy for upgrading my desktop recently, good selection and good prices (when matching their online store pricing)...actually I ordered online and picked up there. Then a week later the monitor price dropped and they matched it to the lower price.

I have to say too that the San Jose store has smelled horrid the last year due to what seems like super old carpet smell. If they won't even pay to clean their carpet they don't deserve to be in business.

I think the point is rather that you can't get a more useful prediction by choosing a lower probability description unless you have AGI. Only an AGI could tell that you're not in the mood for "Hey" to be followed by "darling", and only a superhuman AGI could realistically compensate for human bias in data sets.
It’s Time to Get Personal
Why is this the only spot where a gender pronoun is used

`The leader is aware of her staff as complete human beings and has empathy towards them.`

Reinforcing the stereotype that female is the emphasising gender.

The rest of the article is gender free from what I can see.
This whole thing is idiotic. The lying producers are assholes. The women are idiots for trusting anything told to them in this context by complete strangers motivated only by money. In the words of Shakespeare, "all are punished".

>“These are millennial women who grew up with the internet – they knew the consequences of pornographic videos ending up online which is why they asked where the videos were going before they were lied to."

I'm not sure they did, really. That last sentence should end with "knew the consequences of pornographic videos ending up online which is why they wisely chose not to risk doing porn." Maybe college should teach mandatory classes on risk management.

>Her life, she says, is irrevocably changed, and her hopes of a legal career have been ended.

“I do not want a career as an attorney. My name is completely destroyed.”

I hope somebody explains to her this isn't necessarily true. There are places and firms in the country more sex-positive and/or forgiving where this won't destroy her life and she can still be an attorney. She also pretty much has a ready made career as an attorney focusing on sex-trafficking and similar fields.
One of the Hugi-compo rounds was a Pong game http://www.hugi.scene.org/compo/compoold.htm#compo3 to be run under MS-DOS; the winner was 142 bytes. However, there were several smaller entries that were disqualified for some cosmetic or lifecycle problems that didn't affect playability, the smallest of which was 67 bytes. The rules specified things including the paddle width, the text mode, the color of the ball, the win text, and the keys used to control the paddles. It seems likely that a smaller playable Pong could be achieved by relaxing the rules further — for example, by using different keys to control the paddles, or using a different starting ball position.

A boot sector doesn't have the MS-DOS interrupt services; it has to use only the BIOS interrupt services. On the other hand, it doesn't have to worry about exiting cleanly and resetting the video mode either :)

The winning entry, by Guillermo Sais, was:

I lived in a condo building that fined an owner $60k for 2 years of illegal Airbnb leasing (for a $300k condo).

I also had a friend who was evicted for leasing a rental.

Running a business out of the premises is rarely enforced, but it also rarely creates risk or loss for the landlord the way Airbnb does.

I was talking about testing the application rather than training the model. You can train a ML model on a diverse range of faces, but if, for example, an application that uses the model doesn't calibrate the camera properly it still won't work for darker faces.
Sounds like you aren't the target market either, since you want a phone that only does phone calls, text messages and Facebook Messenger, the latter of which the Light Phone does not do ("it'll never have social media!"). Furthermore, it's not even gonna have a better battery life than your jerryrigged phone since it apparently only does about a week on standby due to its tiny battery. And they expect you to pay $350 for this.

Also, I have no fucking idea when you say that "they don't make phones like that anymore", since Nokia still makes the 3310. Costs like 20% of what the Light Phone costs, does phone calls, text messages (and probably Facebook Messenger since it has a Facebook app) and has a 3-4 week standby battery life.

How much data is the Nokia 3310 hoarding?
This effect is - in some ways I fear, almost inherent to tech.

The same reason you call someone an idiot if they click an ad that looks like an error message, login to their bank on mybank.com.sketchysite.info, respond to a Nigerian scam or open that .pdf.scr file attached to an email. This stuff seems dead flat basic to people who are exposed to scams regularly. We don't call the scammers idiots for making millions on ransomware, most of us just delete their messages without a second thought - instead we call their victims idiots for falling for it in ways that seem obvious to us. Heck, even in much of the general public these are used as punchlines on occasion. Victim blaming and just expecting people to recognize these things as sketchy seems to be quite common for these sorts of technical issues.
America has this weird thing where pointing out that the victim wasn't completely robbed of their agency and made some dumb decisions == victim blaming. Especially in incidents related to sex.

To recap, someone commented that there's a lesson to be re-iterated here about sharing videos, and someone else got offended by that. It's weird to imagine a society where people get offended when presented with instructions for how not to fall victim to the same situation in the future.

The victims aren't being blamed. The legal system worked as intended. But if you don't want porno videos of you showing up on the internet, don't share any. No amount of laws or enforcement will make those videos go away now. Even middle schoolers are taught this in sex-ed.

Why can't the default be to write extensions in C/C++/Rust/zig/jai or any compiled language with which one can produce a .dll or.so?

Why can't application developers abandon this strange habit of adding a slow "scripting" language?

Why not provide a versioned C API and be done with it?

A compiled language would allow us to use the best debugger and compiler on our systems and performance would be in the extension writer's hands and would eliminate the frustrating need to learn yet another scripting language.

Obviously these women were victimised, but this is a completely separate issue from those 'sending emails' as those who were doing that would have been completely unaware of the mitigating circumstances and therefore operating under the assumption said women were simply 'making porn'.

You're essentially insinuating that it's 'evil' to consider that 'doing porn' is possibly inconsistent with the values of an institution of higher learning or some other org.. I hate to break it to you but such super liberal ideals are not normative, and you don't really have a right to condemn any group which concludes that 'porn' is unbecoming of someone within their own organisation.

I suggest if said 'emailers' were aware of the mitigating circumstances, they'd feel differently about it; they couldn't have known they were moralising on actual victims.

Without AGI there are still cases when the lower probability prediction will be better, and will lead to escaping a local minima. I'd argue that the potential benefits of calibrating that axis dynamically exist with or without AGI.
The products being sold by vendors that accept these tokens still price their products in real currencies, and I'm assuming they immediately exchange it as soon as the transaction completes.

With that in mind, accepting cryptocurrencies is just a technicality and doesn't reflect any acceptance of it as a real currency.

Are there any vendors who actually price their products in a cryptocurrency?
Best of luck with that! I look forward to seeing it.
The way to look at it are that cheaters are a constant factor of the player base that needs to be kept at an acceptably low level. Ban waves provide a trade off between hiding information and having a growing population of cheaters that will be occasionally culled. Most cheaters are buying their cheats, will look for ‘undetectable’ cheats to buy and will often find the most popular cheats. As such ban waves tend to catch up a lot of the cheating playerbase.

There’s also not much functional difference between banning as soon as a cheat is detected in the population and banning a few weeks later. Some players will have just started using it and others will have been using it for months unless it was found as soon as it was released.

The discouragement comes from losing progress, losing money (potentially having to rebuy an account and find and buy a new cheat) and distrust in the cheat author.

The downside to banning already detected cheats immediately is that cheat authors have a nice simple, repeatable test to see if their cheat is still detectable which makes development much more straightforward for them.

The problem with that quote is that if "the rest" of the client nodes also can't validate, then Bitcoin is centralized and completely pointless. Mining is already effectively centralized, the only check and balance against collusion of miners is a robust and engaged community of users running full nodes.

The client nodes have to validate in addition to only doing transactions. Satoshi doesn't say that in his comment. But the faster the block size growth, the faster it gets to "every Usenet user runs their own NNTP server", and the fewer and fewer run full validating nodes.

His comment is self-contradictory.

Whilst the SR-71 didn't run on hypergolic fuel (because reasons -- including leaky tanks and supersonic skin-heating, so JP-7, which specifically has a high flash point was used for fuel), the ignition system for the aircraft, including its afterburner ignition system, used hypergolic fuel (triethylborane) to initiate combustion, with a limited number of ignition cycles aboard each mission.

Afterburner light-ups were limited by the availability of TEB aboard.

Excerpt(s):

"In Keely's time there were no oscilloscopes, computers, frequency generators etc. etc. and since he essentially worked with sound he had to rely principally on his ear, a few instruments and his knowledge of harmonics, mainly understood by organ builders and musicians of his time."

[...]

"Because his system relies on resonance alone all the component parts of his equipment have to be in perfect harmonic relationship to each other for it to work.
Even the most carefully tuned musical instrument will detune after a while, whether it is played or not. This is true even for pipe organs. Changing conditions like temperature, humidity, external vibrations, dirt, minor structural damage etc. etc. bring about a rapid deterioration of the carefully arranged harmonic relationships and render the structure discordant, a fatal flaw in Keely's machines."

[...]

"Keely had no feedback system that could compensate for these changes. The technology of his day did not allow for it. Only careful manual re-tuning would render the apparatus operable again."

[...]

"Keely spoke in the language of an 18th century organ builder. If you don't believe me, find a book on organ building of that period and you'll be in for a treat. 400 pages of pure unadulterated Keelyspeak."

and perhaps in summation:

"All of Keely's system revolves around the introduction of a specific, pure, tightly controlled, complex waveform into a resonating cavity. That, believe it or not, is the be all and end all of Keely's technology."

You forgot the most important thing wrt scaling: everyone don't need to run a full node (store the block chain).

Most mobile wallets are light wallets, that query servers for the information on demand. It works great, but you have the risk of the server lying to you.

So the next level up is SPV wallets, which verify that transactions are included in blocks and that the proof-of-work is valid. So the cheat them you need to reproduce POW, which is very expensive, and also very secure.

This notion that everyone needs to run a full node is simply false. SPV security, and even light wallets security, is enough for almost everyone. Exchanges, payment processors and the paranoid few can still run full nodes.

I think Splunk is the reason I can’t recommend ELK, Splunk simply makes ELK look almost non-functional. This is years ago but we tried Splunk for a year, but the switched to ELK due to pricing. Our number of searches dropped to almost zero after that, because usability was so poor, in comparison.

As a result we didn’t utilize the data we had, or in many cases reverted to using grep.

Math isn't technology, and like you said yourself, AI is just math. Attaching emotional value to math is done incredibly frequently for all sorts of reasons.

Attaching emotional value to technology is also fine. "Machine learning is fundamentally conservative" gets the point across better than "machine learning doesn't handle change robustly," which is vague and doesn't give a person looking for something to read any reason why that would matter.

Bernstein's case established that he had a First Amendment right to publish source code under the law in effect at the time; he argued, successfully, that this was the form in which his research was communicated to other researchers. He won his case, but it took many years, and of course court cases are political processes; they may be decided differently when different judges have been appointed to the bench. It seems that machine-vision researchers may now need to make the same argument.
