I think the topic of the article is cheaters that compete with other players. Anti-cheats are not really necessary for games where the only person being cheated is the cheater.

I also excluded professional players because the original poster was basically trying to get an answer regarding what kind of person would cheat when there was no extra incentive. Obviously, professional players or players in any games that offer valuable prizes have a real incentive to cheat.
Neural networks are very much real-time. They generally consist of a fixed series of math operations of fixed size. Only the weights and inputs change.

The neural net will never be late. It just might be inaccurate.

That's insane - I thought California was bad at ~$0.15/kWh residential, but that's on par with Hawaii. At least Hawaii has the excuse of being an island...
Impressive how timeless this is.

I would say the great problem of science right now is integrating all of the knowledge there is.

It's time scientists stopped publishing dumb weakly connected PDFs, and start switching to a GitHub like pull request model.

We could build a single strongly typed peer-reviewed repo of all of the world's scientific information, complete with definitions, experiment protocols and data, and make it universally downloadable and usable by all.

Finland is made up of one population with similiar genes.

Primary white or black is not the same at all. The black population has very different genes within that subgroup representing 50+ countries with different histories some with salary others not. The white population is similiar but more diverse.

They are very different.

>> Not something you've always done - what's your latest new eco-project, big or small?

Nothing. There's no action I can take on an individual scale that matters one whit. The best I could hope for would be to gain some mythical moral high ground for lecturing others on their consumption.

If I had to guess, it would be voting for Sanders in the primary, whenever that comes around to my state. Even then, I'm not hopeful it will meaningfully change the politics in the United States. The structure of the senate, electoral college, and judiciary enshrined in the constitution, combined with the almost unimaginable difficulty of amending that system, and the prevalent first-past-the-post voting system means my country will remain at the mercy of the coal-burning red-meat eating minority currently in charge.

I started reading about D couple of months ago after work. For me, it appeared to be easier than Scala for example which I use at work. Not only is it simpler, it is faster and I am not even talking about compile times. These features alone persuaded me to rewrite couple of Scala based data processing algorithms we use for our ML models to give it a try. What I really liked is that you don't have to know all about the language to write perfomant code. Still keep wondering how does it get constantly overlooked.

You could use some of that money and buy RECs to offset your emissions, which would not just enrich your local economy but do so in a way that encourages low-externality-energy production.

True, that could happen. But if these people are planting gardens and food forests to literally provide food for their families, the interests align to keep those trees growing (and replanting any that die off for any reason). That, along with the longevity of the non-profit, makes it a reasonable-enough risk for me.

It would be cool if there were an organization (non- or for-profit) that would get you annual (or quarterly) reports on how their carbon capture is going. Perhaps through drone fly-overs, with software to capture the 3D image changes and then calculate/estimate the carbon mass storage increase/decrease.
Here's the attempt() function that was described in the article:

It would be a very subtle tweak to your blue perception. UV sensitivity is quite low even without the lens filtering it out.

As cool as accidental historical biohacking is, I think the Monet-UV hypothesis should be taken with a grain of salt.
That's an interesting question. In Kuhn's view on science the tree would be replaced after a paradigm shift, meaning there is enough low-hanging fruit in a period of normal science (between two major breakthroughs). I wonder if Kuhn had any claims about whether paradigm shifts would happen less often in time.

What's the difference between a "terrorist state" and a state with military that attacks civilians (or finds them to be acceptable casualties)? I don't think the term even makes sense when applied to a country. Lots of countries offer support for militia groups that work to destabilize governments and terrorize the populations of different countries.

At this point, calling someone a terrorist is a dog whistle, because it's so broad to be almost meaningless. The differentiating factor seems to come down to US-backing.
My understanding is that it has lower latency but also lower throughput.

Although most of the benchmarks I've seen are at lease 2 years old. It would be nice to see some updated benchmarks that also compare against the Shenandoah and ZGC garbage collectors for the JVM.
> Do you think that this is somehow unique to Japan? How close do you think regulators and operators are in the US? Is there any industry that even remotely seems like it has a healthy relationship with its oversight bodies?

Yes, and no. TEPCO, and The Nuclear Village are strong powerful entities and lobbyists in Japanese Society. But it was the 'Japanese' way of not asking the global community for help that ultimately ensured that the Abe Government and its subsequent action would take the act of secrecy in the face of one of Man's biggest ecological disasters.

Can confirm the thrust of this story. And I trained in the last 10 years in NYC. Modern healthcare is little different.
I get this point and am mostly in agreement with the intent. However, the US is also more of a service economy, which would lead me to believe we should tend to have lower emissions/productivity compared to other countries that mostly produce goods instead.

So I am curious if there's a way to associate emissions to different categories of productivity and see if we're more wasteful, on average, when it comes to specific parts of our GDP (e.g. using personal automobiles).

I'm not saying this in the self-hating way that I think is trendy for people in the US, but I am curious in the way that, if we want to improve, we could focus on specific parts of the economy that are more wasteful than others. (Driving would be an obvious one, hence the example.)

Standard library doesn’t provide similar functionality but it’s trivial to implement a mixin template that would implement print or hash function for any type

Right. "Who, a few short years ago, would have suspected that light and heat still held scientific secrets in reserve? Nevertheless, we now have argon in the atmosphere, the x-rays of Roentgen, and the radium of the Curies, all of which illustrate the inadequacy of our former methods, and the prematurity of our former syntheses." That had to be from the early 20th century.

The problems today are either in areas where complexity is the limiting factor, like biology, or beyond current experimental reach, like string theory and dark matter. The complexity problem can probably be overcome with computer assistance. Experimental reach is harder.
But any of the other methods work just as well
> In my experience after being involved with mediation circles for 20 years, gym-rats used to hard training and daily discipline have much better start with meditation than people like me who are overthinking and analyzing, and who try to make sense of everything said.

Perhaps true, but "overthinking and analyzing" is not the only failure mode or even the most common one. Many people view Buddhism as little more than a fashionable, 'exotic' practice, with many elements of a social club. These folks are even less likely to undertake vipassana (insight) meditation successfully! At least if you're an analyzing type, reading something like Ingram's 'Mastering the Core Teachings of the Buddha' will tell you plenty of useful things about how vipassana is supposed to work, and what progress you have made along the way at any given time. The vast majority of people who approach Buddhism or even "meditation" of some sorts aren't even aware in the least that these are issues one could care about!
That poor company, all they were doing was violating copyright for profit under the cover of competition and research.
I am a Vim user, and if I had a group leader tell me that I had to use some different editor because we are all learning how to do this job together, and that learning how to use the editor properly was part of learning how to do the job, I would do what he says. At least for as long as he stays in the room...

On the other hand, we had an architect who has since retired that said, if it was up to him, all developers across the campus would use the same programming language, editor, and configuration. Thankfully it was not up to him, and we still have this lovely diversity of opinions and tools that signals it is encouraged for specializations to develop, thus making sure that we are not all replaceable cogs in an exceedingly boring machine.

But the memory of this man's twisted vision remains with me, and it strikes me that the leadership still would seem to prefer if we were in fact fungible units of work-capacity, without any distinctive features or unique characteristics differentiating us from other developers.

IMO if you learned to ensure there was no proof of different tools, you learned an equally valuable lesson; I would mark you down for example if I opened your file and found a bunch of CRLF line endings, or some other similar obvious linting violation that was prevented by an editor configuration you were supposed to have installed during the class. But if you applied enough attention to detail to make sure this was not possible, in a way you got the point (and also for the purposes of the grade, you definitely got the point!)
The thing is, technology to replace fast food cashiers or call center employees doesn't even have to be good, it just has to be really cheap. The companies making the decision to put those systems in place are not the end users who will be forced to interface with them. Human customers will be forced to modify their speech to be understood by mediocre telephone agent programs.

So yes, Yang is right that automation is coming for millions of American jobs, and sooner than most people might think.

I don't think framing it as intentions really captures what's going on. I think the basic intention of a contractor is the same as anyone else: come in to do some work, and go home when it's done.

When I worked as a contractor, a few times I was full of righteous fury and ran my mouth to colleagues about their work. In hindsight, I'm convinced they absolutely believed they worked hard and delivered a high quality product, that what I was complaining about was a reasonable compromise. And, frankly, when I left for the private sector, it was a bit of a shock to learn that I really hadn't been working as hard or as well as I thought.

Instead, I'd frame it as incentives over time. There have to be outside pressures to keep everyone honest. In the private sector, they have to compete with other companies, and indeed you see similar problems in firms or departments that are insulated from competition.

In contracting, you've got a negative feedback loop: as contractors underdeliver, the clients scale back their expectations. As those expectations scale back, the contractors relax hiring to meet them. This has led to the population of contract workers stagnating to where it's well behind the private sector.

Having done interviews of contract workers trying to transition out, they are frequently technically way more junior than they should be for the years of experience. And I think the companies trying to attract better people have a hard time when the candidates aren't impressed with the teams.

This looks very readable and matches the structure of the json too.

To me it's basically the same readability wise with proper indentation.

Though with deeply nested data and a lot of map functions I think you'd have a lot of unnecessary (->> JSON ...). But those can probably be eliminated with another macro.

Also, there's the pipe function in jql which basically lets you do this.
It's another reminder how much internet infrastructure predates the Unicode standard (along with other equally wacky hacks like email's UTF-7). URLs weren't restricted to ASCII versus Unicode for any sort of bug reduction/security issue/whatnot, they were restricted to (a subset of) ASCII simply because Unicode did not exist at the time to even be considered.
Ramón and Cajal, two great thinkers.
I think it's more about the validation received from other peoples giving the cheat-maker an ego boost, which is real to them regardless of whether the people using their cheats are truly giving them any meaningful credit.

That aside, I'm not sure exactly what you mean by social credit, but in some communities the creators of hacks and cheats(at least the people making fun, constructive cheats - not aimbots and the like) are highly esteemed. They are regarded somewhere alongside competitive players/speedrunners but in a more shadowy background roll(which many people may find cooler/more valuable). They also tend to have universal support among the community rather than being on one team or the other like, for example, tournament players.

This is all true in the communities I've witnessed at least, I don't play many esport type games though.
I never actually said which kind of carless person I am....it's not by choice. A label is just a way to describe something. People put far too much importance on the meaning behind labels these days. Labels don't have to be all encompassing and exclusive of other labels. They're just a convenient way of grouping and describing things with commonalities.

Calling someone carless or homeless has nothing to do with the reasoning behind it, it's a label for a current state. I agree, though, more fine grained labels should be used for tackling the causes behind these states. But calling someone homeless or carless isn't really offensive in and of itself.
Oh my, you are correct. The southern border is obscured by dots. On my screen I couldn't see it at all. It looked like Saudi Arabia had absorbed Kuwait.

My prediction is a mass exodus from the NPT by the non-nuclear weapon states if the 2020 Review Conference goes to hell.

That doesn't mean it exploded mid-air. If it exploded mid-air where the FlightRadar24 data end, the debris field would be in the direction of the flight and spread wide. Debris field is in the opposite direction and elsewhere though.
It is certain that under close scrutiny one can find bugs as well in Airbus airplanes. Bugs are inherent to software production, all processes are just there to minimizes the risks posed by critical bugs.

However, as airbus released the first fly by wire airliner (a320), they have more experience in software over boeing. Boeing was always afraid to give too much power to the software, a boeing plane has more mechanical backup than an airbus.

I sincerely hope that they are not fucking around by following the agile trend from the sw industry, and instead stay focused on old and proven engineering development practices.

I must say that this whole boeing show makes me scared to hop in a boeing, and is another reason why i will now seek flight in a a320 instead of a 737. The first reason is simply comfort, the 737 cabin size is really too small.

Edit : the a350 had a bug where the pilots needed to switch off the plane every 149h, and recently they discovered a bug in the a220 P&W engine (not airbus developped) leading to engine shuting down in flight.
They also found a kind of mcas like bug the a321neo, but I think it happens in extreme manoeuver which can be only replicated in simulators
This seems to be an increasingly growing niche where D is gaining popularity. I see more and more people turning to D where they would normally use python or R for adhoc data crunching
Sure. People are people, and scientists can and often are resistant to change.

(BTW, I do dislike your use of the reified term "Science". That's a mythical pedestal which nobody can stand on.)

You write "Of course it's not the absolute norm for all Scientific Community but it's abundant".

You then also mean that dogma is also not the absolute norm for religions, but it's abundant, right?

Which leads us to a quagmire, since dogma, formally speaking, "is an official system of principles or doctrines of a religion." (Quoting Wikipedia.)

Though you mean something more like "it is applied to some strong belief whose adherents are not willing to discuss it rationally." (Same Wikipedia entry.)

I gave a list of several scientific principles which were thought to be correct, then demonstrated to be incorrect, and where there are now few adherents. I could easily list more.

What are the equivalents in religion to, say, the Planck's introduction of quantum mechanics to solve the ultraviolet catastrophe problem?

Anti-cheat is still a major issue on multiplayer games that are not PVP-centric, like MMOs. In these cases, the negative externalities of cheating are more like a tragedy of commons than griefing. Cheaters and bots screw up the economy and increase competition for training / farming areas, but generally only in aggregate. Much easier to justify than directly ruining someones experience by killing them instantly every time they spawn.
Guess they haven't rewritten the whole thing in Rust yet
Should it ever become practical to do so, the reasons for doing so will look very similar to the reasons Europeans colonized America. The thing about densely populated environments is it requires lots of governance, and populations have a habit of increasing exponentially, which would be difficult for artificial environments to keep up with indefinitely. When you're on the frontier, you have a lot more freedom.

Not necessarily. Fossil's `amend` command works by adding additional information to the repo that the web UI and commands like `fossil info` look at when building up information intended for direct consumption by the user.

In this way, you can edit commit messages, rename branches/tags, add/remove tags, etc. to historical check-ins without breaking the blockchain / Merkle tree of commits.

This allows Fossil to keep all of the historical information about what happened to a given file, commit, ticket, etc. while still allowing a coherent presentation of the current state of affairs to the user.
