I was under the impression Space Force is political spending. Was anyone in the military asking for Space Force?

It's not clear at all that academic coaches provide value to students.

Sounds like they've identified $15B in wasteful spending that they can just eliminate.

It has to do with the display because recent displays can get much brighter than displays of the past.

Instead of reaching a luminance of 80 of 100 nits, they can now reach 1000 or even 5000 nits.

What this means is that it is now possible to set the target “diffuse white” luminance to be something like 200 nits, but then still be able to produce colors in which any (or all) of the primaries is 5x more intense than that.

Until recently, it has been assumed that display white is (100%, 100%, 100%), whether the maximum display brightness happens to be 50 or 500 nits. But when displays can get to 1000 nits or beyond, that is no longer a tenable assumption.

* * *

If you have a conventional display (say a non-HDR TV or smartphone) you could still crank the display brightness all the way up but only show images or video where diffuse white was set to 20% of maximum (or whatever), and thereby achieve an expanded gamut for bright colors. But in practice few people if any ever did that.

You can even do the same thing with a painting: if you make your painting overall darker than usual, place it on a dark gray wall, and then shine a very intense light on it, you can give your painting more dynamic range and a larger color gamut than you would otherwise be able to achieve with the same materials. This technique has been used to good effect by some (but relatively few) master painters, photographers, etc.

I enjoyed many of Verne's books as a child, so last year I tried reading some to my children. I thought the writing held up quite well (compared to e.g. Karl May, another author I loved reading when I was young):

In particular, Verne is able to deploy ethnic caricatures without coming across as bigoted:

> What can be added to these figures, so eloquent in themselves? Nothing. So the following calculation obtained by the statistician Pitcairn will be admitted without contestation: by dividing the number of victims fallen under the projectiles by that of the members of the Gun Club, he found that each one of them had killed, on his own account, an average of two thousand three hundred and seventy-five men and a fraction.

> By considering such a result it will be seen that the single preoccupation of this learned society was the destruction of humanity philanthropically, and the perfecting of firearms considered as instruments of civilisation. It was a company of Exterminating Angels, at bottom the best fellows in the world.
70%?! Wow, that's enough to fund all kinds of innovation in the domain name space.
Basic research already is mainly funded by governments. The research in this article is an attempt at a drug being developed by a private company, which is seperate from research that investigates the cause of Alzheimers disease.

Once the root cause is discovered, if it somehow needs no drug or device intervention to be treated, then great! Otherwise, the private sector would step in to take those drugs to market and pay for those trials then.
I'm prepared to argue that a data scientist who doesn't apply this level of rigor to their work is almost certainly doing a bad job, though they may deliver results that are good from moment to moment.

The key differences is how traceable and repeatable the process is.
It is the Space Force after all.
LOL. I’d do it if they had those adorable Japanese mascot characters.
As a side note:

Promise (YC startup) was also saying that 70% of people in jails are waiting for judgement or are in for a technical violation (ex: did not show up to a hearing). And being in jails they end up losing their job, eventually they lose their house etc.

This is a space with a lot of low hanging fruits. And minor fixes may end up doing a lot of good.
Empirical. I work in fluid dynamics. While I think purely formal fields like math have their advantages (as you point out), I would not be surprised if that literature is less reliable than most people believe. I know from my own experience that even highly cited papers with theoretical models can have surprisingly obvious major problems. Sometimes no empirical data is needed to know that something isn't right. The exact same reasons one might be suspicious of a pure math result can apply here.

There have been many efforts and an international treaty to avoid the militarization of space. It’s widely believed that there are some minor satellite-based weapons platform efforts, but for the most part everyone who has taken force into space, so far, if they have, has done so on a small and unobtrusive scale.

We should avoid militarizing space as much and as long as possible. It’s deeply troubling to see the foolish and criminal US president beating the drum to rush such an unnecessary and destructive future into existence.

Many people have worked very hard to have the current agreement in place. To destroy all that work for nationalistic and political points is ridiculously short-sighted.

Games back then weren't an important part of our culture. They are now. Consequently they are a requirement.

Seems simple enough to understand.
Fundamentally this entire post is "politics", so what you broached is entirely within the purview.

And it's absolutely correct. The Republican party is deep underway on a policy of "starving the beast", rolling up $1T+ deficits during the pinnacle of the economy, when arguably it should be coming close to slaying the deficit. These are extraordinary times, and many of the people who were screaming bloody murder before about every cent of government spending suddenly have gone quiet.

The next budget is already beginning the process of dramatically reducing the few social programs the US does offer.

All of this is fascinating given that Trump promised that he would eliminate the deficit (he has exploded it, while at the same time rolling out an enormous middle-class tax hike courtesy of tariffs). He is destroying the US just enough that when the Democrats do take power they'll be between a rock and a hard place, with extraordinary little option to do anything.

But hey...space force!
Yeah, that actually makes perfect sense. I suppose you could say that when a state sets a minimum wage, it creates a new 'zero' level for productivity, and then companies need to pay 'x' above that to compete for productive employees. If it indeed works that way, then that's policy as intended, right?

For the first time in my life, I’m excited for a new government initiative. I’ve realized that the there is a link between home security and military budgets. I’m optimistic about the space force because we the people are bought in to spending on insurance premiums which is a defined margin above calculable risks. And so if we want government funded space exploration we can sell it as insurance and actually make it happen.

Agreed! Note that the author has recently published a French novel ("Le chien de Schrödinger") and an English translation is available for pre-order.
His nonfiction work is even broader: he wrote books on history, the Bible, and Shakespeare, as well as every kind of science.

The adjustable spanner, the zipper and the propeller are also sometimes mentioned in this category within Sweden, but are the also referring to inventors with partly Swedish origin or for improvements of previous designs.

>Find an answer in a text document that spans multiple non-contiguous paragraphs

>Understand context across a whole book.

to have truly much utility when it comes to context a model doesn't just need to correlate information across some text, it also needs general knowledge and understanding so that it can produce knowledge which is only implicit or not even present in the text itself.

Unlike just reading a bunch of random data the read instructions can't be pipelined, the instruction that uses the read pointer can't be dispatched to the load-store unit until after it's address has arrived in the CPU (two reads where you know the address can just be queued, and even finished out of order if the second one hits in a closer cache than the first one)

Interoperability.

For me, a common use case is to receive a large document from someone using MS Office, make small alterations or comments, and send it back... while being certain that I have not changed anything else (including formatting and layout of included illustrations) that I did not want to change. Neither Google Docs nor OpenOffice currently support that, simply opening and saving a nontrivial Word document changes the layout.

There are people who can fix main boards. They fix cracks by soldering jumpers across it (I'm not sure how they deal with multi-layer boards). They replace capacitors almost without bothering to check if the old ones are still good. They can replace the other parts too if replacements exist: they have the diagnostics tools to figure out what is broke.

They charge skilled labor prices for this service. Be prepared to pay thousands of dollars. It is almost always cheaper to replace the entire board than repair, but sometimes you depend on that exact computer (for timing reasons where a faster modern computer won't work). Or sometimes the board is tied to a much larger machine that would be expensive to replace.
It does if you have to log into the captive portal to use the wifi.

Space force is fundamentally a reorganization. Work that had previusly been done by other branches (mostly airforce) is being moved to its own branch. During the transition, work (hopefully) continues without interuption. As I read the proposal, the airforce will recieve a corresponding drop in funding to reflect their reduced scope.

The "browse regular websites" was the killer feature of the original iPhone.

Recently I discovered that Xcode uses Spotlight in an interesting way — when you want to convert crash logs from your apps into readable stack traces, you only need to place the relevant symbol files anywhere on the disk where Spotlight can find them. No need to import them directly into the IDE.

Absolutely. Malice is almost always the cause. That's why Hanlon's razor is absurd. It supposes a version of human nature that doesn't exist. Surely humans are generally stupid, but they are also scheming, lying, manipulating, violent, and definitely malicious way more than they are stupid. History shows us this over and over again.

Oh man, I recently finished some of his novels and it is astounding to see the optimism he had for us, considering he was writing in a world before any world wars happened.

Try asking it a follow up question not commonly found in the training data: such as "do you think bulgogi would grow on Mars?", and see what kind of gibberish you will get in response. Moreover, the model has no way of self-diagnosing whenever it produces gibberish.

Such UI is not insanely hard to implement in Unity, like it would be if it was HTML/CSS.
Unfortunately, Verne was not well served by his contemporary translators -- among other things, there are technical descriptions, or episodes poking fun at the English or Americans, which somehow just never showed up in the English translations. There are newer translations that do a much better job -- but those are still within copyright, and so not cheap. (This addresses only the text; the illustrations are a significant extra wrinkle.)
