Ah, but the big question is how much curve-flattening stretches it out in your country of residence.

Some societies will choose such that their medical infrastructure will be at 10x capacity for ten times as long rather than be at 100x capacity.

Others will manage to stamp it out, only to endure subsequent flare-ups.

Unconstrained doubling is only a popular policy among oligarchs in power. To be fair, they do have a lot of power...

Thanks! I compartmentalize my writing a fair bit, so the fashion stuff I did in the early '00's was commercial writing aimed at getting work, with this kind of direct analysis only as a leitmotif. Lately, seems my best stuff is here.

I'd also argue that one can't simultaneously write well, not be pseudonymous, and work for a living, because what you hold in reserve to remain employable accumulates as pulled punches in your writing, and while nobody else may know, for an artist the shame can become unbearable. :)

Weak pseudonymity mitigates that somewhat.

Wow to be charitable- you rebranded already existing language models (gpt-2, Bert, xlnet, etc) - and turned it into a SaaS... Though those models seem more effective than this service by a long shot.

Worse, even the best NLP models at the moment are clever hanses. Also, the huggingface "write with transformer" has far more hyperparamaters to play with which make it far far far better than this website.

I'm sorry to have to echo the other comments or come off as overly critical, but this service blows. I see zero reasons why I or anyone else would want to use it - especially since your competing against the very best NLP minds.

Next time, try to use models which might actually be effective. Salesforce released one called "CTRL" which if you had productized might have actually given you what you want (effective controllable text generation)
Why do you let Alphabet's mindless robot army surface news as alerts on your phone in the first place? :P
What is the risk here?

A person who pursues their here and now with the most intention and passion will learn more on the job than the same individual who is just "putting their time in." Why can't you help build someone elses dream and your own? Is it possible the details of someone elses dream provide focus for yours?

I think the former individual will better weather a layoff than the latter. Furthermore, the person who is "just putting their time in" is a less attractive hire.
The closed-source nature of VSCode is a little more practically important than you make it out to be. It prevents Linux distros from including VSCode in their package managers (except non-free categories, usually disabled by default). And makes it impossible to patch VSCode, only "Code - OSS". Also, for normal users, the brand/icon is everything. If they go to their computer and "the chrome icon is blue", they will want the old icon back, if only because it's the one they know and trust.

You are distorting facts by calling VSCode open source. This [1] is the license for VSCode. It lets you "use any number of copies of the software to develop and test your applications, including deployment within your internal corporate network". The license implicitly (by omission) does not let you distribute binaries to your friends and colleges outside of your "corporate network". This is the defining characteristic of freeware. I am not a lawyer, that was not legal advice.

Your argument is akin to calling google chrome open-source. Yes, it is based on the open source chromium, but Chrome is decidedly not open-source.

On a more practical note, the fact that Microsoft does not distribute an open source build of VSCode is pretty annoying.

You add the concept of finite "triggers", where [state i] + [trigger result j] always takes you to [new state](which could be the same state if you want)

Triggers are just functions where anything could be happening - coin flip, API call, but they return one of an enumerated set of results so the machine can always use their result to go to another state.

I hope this is known to the manufacturer:

I completely forgot about this aspect of C++. I remember being surprised the first time I tried compiling a C++ library on my workstation and found I couldn't do so because my workstation ran out of memory. The library was Panda3D; I can't remember what kind of workstation I was running on at the time.

It turns out if you use enough layers of templates, the compiler has to carry around an awful lot of state to figure out what program it should actually output.

This is another downside to a 1400 page language specification; whether the user can hold most of it in their head or use a reliable, safe subset to avoid sharp edges, the compiler and tools still have to be aware of all of the layers of complexity in both the code a developer is writing and often whatever tricks and quirks developers chose to usein the libraries the developers code is depending on.

OK, but my question was specific. You appeared to hint that anything that doesn't do audience validation is so horribly broken that it's unusable. That's not only very different from my experience (audience confusion, and particularly domain confusion bugs are super common), and I think there's a good reason for that. If your integration claims to be able to consume group assertions but it doesn't, that will be immediately visible to anyone trying the integration. If you screw up audience validation, no-one will notice until they perform a very specific test that the vast majority of vendorsec programs will never test for, and a good chunk of the ones that do will have signed a contract that prevents them from testing or at least publishing findings.

(Completely agreed that the vast majority of SSO integrations only let the IdP assert identities, not group memberships.)

Hints: wizards owls spells castles
Prompt: Once there was a wizard who lived in a castle with his pet owl.

Output after clicking the Continue button a few times;

"Once there was a wizard who lived in a castle with his pet owl. The owl would fly around the castle, and whenever it saw something that looked like an enemy, it would scream . The wizard had a secret room where he stored his weapons and whatnot. One day, the owl was taking a nap when it heard a voice outside. The owl screamed in a low, low voice. "Tyls, wake up! You'll be all right. We just need to get you out of here."

The man looked at the two and then back up at his wife."

I'm interested in where the name "Tyls" came from. After a quick Google, there's a wizard called Tyls in this Harry Potter fanfic - https://www.fanfiction.net/s/811088/72/Not-Myself - that seems a very likely source.

Don’t touch any oil etf, especially any leveraged etf. Even an unelevered etf, like the USO, will destroy your investment. Every month the USO rolls the position from the month 1 contract to month 2. We are in a deeply contango market and will remain so for a while, so every month you’re going to lose 2-4$ per bbl. So even if oil appreciates several dollars, you still lose. Oil etf’s are toxic waste.

But it is complicated to do and there may still be problems when they do - as others have explained here it's not as simple as it first appears.

I don't have any sympathy for the operators in this. They've profited from this for long enough and ignored the problem. There's a lot of pressure on them to solve it and the impression I have is that there's no appetite for "the dog ate my homework" excuses from regulators so let's see.
Blazor vs. React Angular and Vue
Hahaha, no. There is no ghost in the Shell in AI powered robots and certainly not in inanimate objects. You sound like an object oriented ontology writer with this kind of post and will be treated as such because that's what you've advocated for.

The alternative is fear of hurting objects or machines everytime I act in the world. Physical objects themselves are not ethical actors. AI is not life and we are several hundred years away from being capable of creating life ourselves within an object (if it's at all possible) Your worldview would mean that if I move a machine (or rock) and it appears to "resist me", I must fear that the machine or rock doesn't want to be moved. I must believe that I have acted violently towards that object by "frustrating it's preferences".

What absurdity!
You fix the bugs in paid updates, and users decide whether the bug fixes are worth the cost.

It's a good balance—if you spend extra time on worthwhile changes, the users need to pay for that time. The users can also decide to stick with what they have if they don't think your changes were worthwhile, which may be a perfectly reasonable path.
I think you can look at this from a mercenary perspective too. It costs nothing more to show up and work hard than it does to show up and do the minimum. You're giving up the same amount of time either way. But there's a lot more upside for hard workers, at least at firms that have a career track for software engineers. There are other variables, but other things being equal, folks who get things done tend to advance faster.

I definitely agree that you should not break your back and work 24/7 for someone else's vision. Or at a minimum you need to consider how factors beyond your control might zero out your investment. But that goes for anything.
Agreed ;-( Thanks for trying.

PAIP is a great book. It both teachers Lisp programming and "classical" AI programming.

Yep, it runs on AWS servers due to the fact that the user's device might be destroyed and it has file hosting, automated calls and all that jazz happening which would not be possible if it was stand-alone.

In terms of redundancy and failover, barring a total region blackout on the AWS end, the remote service will continue to function forever due to the way I've set up the infrastructure. If I die then the service will simply be handed over to someone else.
It at least shows that you can never be too careful. I also hope it encourages more testing.

When you open a new website, only the previously whitelisted JS sources are enabled, and you can individually check out the initially disabled sites to see if you want to trust it to run on your machine.

If you are looking for more advanced apps for complex use cases as opposed to simple single table/sheet data then Axonator.com is a great choice. It allows you to collect more rich data like pictures with annotations, conditional logic, custom backend business logic, drag and drop form builder. Data can go directly into spreadsheets or any databases/APIs. Axonator is different because it allows your to model complex relationships between data tables. With its UI first approach, no knowledge of data modeling is required. It spits out native high performance IOS and Android apps without the hassle of coding. Enterprise are using this tool for quality inspections, surveys and automatically generate PDF reports and display the collected data in the form of insightful dashboards.
Well Rust and ZZ are both trying to prove safety, Rust does it via the borrow checker and ZZ does it by formal verification. I would be surprised if the ZZ approach would scale beyond trivial examples (you're going to end up with programs that it can't give a yes/no answer to, that's always the issue with formal), but I'd be happy to be proven wrong.

Zig and Odin are both trying to be a "better C", they don't try to prove safety (that's up to you) but they try to make it harder to shoot yourself in the foot (and may end up being simpler than Rust as a result).

I don't know much about Odin, but Zig has some very nice features to help embedded development:

- All standard library containers allow you to provide your own allocator (there is no magical central allocator, ie. the dreaded 'malloc').
- All errors must be handled, including running out of memory.
- It's easy to just not use the standard library at all.
- Cross-compiling is a breeze (eg. you can just build a Windows .exe on Linux as easily as building a Linux executable).
- You can measure frame sizes so you know how large your stack needs to be (and thus guarantee your stack will never overflow).

Certainly I'd be interested in anyone's 'Zig vs Odin' if they've used both.
Voice command is unreliable.

Even human to human level, every safety critical application rely on voice commands has to implement very rigid and strong standards and rules on human speech.

At the risk of sounding insensitive - I don't understand what this is. I know what a dead man's switch is, of course - maybe an app that emails your next in kin your email password or cryptocurrency private key if you haven't checked in for a few months. But what would this do? SMS the hospital/police if it's been 24 hours since you played hangman? What is an actual example of intended use?

I know it's probably not this simple, but it seems to me that if you're at the point where you're installing apps to take action in the case you're incapacitated by abuse, you should probably skip the app part and just take that action immediately...

OBS is commonly used for video game streaming, but it's a great tool for any scenario where you need to take live audio and video from different sources and display them at the same time or transition between them.

You're right, but there is signing of kernel and modules now, via secure boot, eg:

I see solaris has elfsign - and it appears to be in OpenSolaris too:
https://github.com/joyent/illumos-joyent/blob/master/usr/src...

Not sure if it would work on Linux - and you'd might want to prevent running unsigned binaries. Not sure if that's a thing on OpenSolaris. Still, being able to verify a binary might help with handling random downloads, I suppose.
