The most educated people I know all have at least a handful of opinions that are provably untrue. We're talking about people who correctly modeled economic crashes, developed and implemented SAP modules for a lot of companies you know, and (multiple on some of them) PHDs. Among them, a flat-earther, a guy who believes communism is straight-up awesome, and one who honestly believes that most "corruption" is a made-up attack on the corrupt.

Each time I encounter this, I am stunned. But it still happens.
It's a bit ironic, but the author repeated the same error every time they wrote the formula involving sigma. What they wanted to write was $\sum_{0}^{n} k$. What they actually wrote ($\sum_{0}^{n} n$) is equal to $n \cdot (n+1)$ (without the division by 2).
I too started picking up Rust with the goal of trying out embedded development. I'm taking it slow though -- working through the book and a little cli tool. I am also on the discord.
Yeah, totally, you can really lose your lunch with VIX futures (both going long or short). It's a dangerous game, I wouldn't really recommend it to anyone. I manage a small/moderate amount of money for friends and family as well as myself (in a different account), and the kind of plays I do for them are very different than what I do for myself (if I lost all of my money I would be fine, it I lost all of their money I don't think I'd be able to live with myself). While I do use leverage in my family and friends fund, it's never above 1.5x, while with my own money I usually run between 2.5-3.25x.

I myself don't touch options because I feel like I don't have a good academic grasp of them. I work in portfolio analytics for equities and futures, so those are pretty much the only things I hold in both my family and friends fund (actually in that fund it's just ETFs) and my own personal fund. Would options have been the better risk/reward play? Probably/maybe, but it's never a good idea to invest in things you don't have a complete understanding of.

The ultimate point I'm making about leveraged ETFs I guess is that people have different risk tolerances. Just accepting whatever the market gives you rarely makes sense as the return to vol ratio is probably either higher or lower than your personal risk tolerance. My risk tolerance is very high, so I invest in ways that align with it, yours might be low, so likewise, invest accordingly. But don't just take whatever the market throws at you.
ISA SATA card makes perfect sense to me. :) All those MFM drives are dead or dying. Protocols like SATA are implemented in hardware, and you buy an IC controller chip for the purpose. So the task with this project is to implement something that talks to the SATA controller and something that talks to the ISA bus, and bridge the two. Problem is that most SATA controllers will be designed to connect to a PCIe bus. Probably easiest to use a SATA-PATA bridge chip. Not sure how easy those are to find these days.

DOCSIS -- yeah, that's a lot of specialized knowledge to make a good one. A huge part of the complexity for that is probably board layout stuff. EMI & EMC, etc. This is a whole separate field of study on its own.

Getting that EEPROM reader working sounds like a good starter project. There's huge variation of EEPROMs though, so it would be sensible to focus on just the EEPROM you have. Who knows, your issues could have been a problem with the scavenged chip. But I2C (if your chip was I2C) is finicky and every chip seems to do it slightly differently.
Here's the BBC account, not as fun a read:

Drawing. I always wanted to learn how to draw.
Nicely done, you have normalized population data! Would you mind defaulting to displaying your cases normalized by population though for the choropleth? Counties aren't uniform, and so you get wildly confusing results from showing absolute data ([1] has a great set of examples).

Fully understand - I would want something self-hosted in this case as well.

Firebase does allow you to integrate with other OAuth providers (e.g. Google/Facebook/Linkedin etc.), so you could perform some kind of validation on the google account, ensuring it comes from your company's mail domain? Just a thought.

Set up of these security schemes is not easy (took me a shamefully long time to get Firebase working with React-Admin and Hasura). I'd personally try and get a SaaS provider to work within your company's constraints before trying to roll your own.
A National Embarrassment – United States Response to Covid-19
This device probably is a rebranded RAD-0301 meter.
It's curious to me that whenever these kinds of stories emerge the arguments of "why don't we spend the time/money being expended on this frivolous activity on more useful problems" are nonexistent. Contrast this with stories involving higher order aspirations (like space exploration) and those comments are legion. It's like we are drawn to the mundane out of comfort and shirk the aspirational out of fear.
This device is a rebranded RAD-0301 meter. In Germany, this brand seems to be the easiest way for purchasing the RAD-0301.
Another nice thing to think about is spherical symmetry, ie can one have it in an antenna. Some thought with Maxwell’s equations will lead you inexorably to Birkhoff’s theorem.
The way I see it, in Emacs it's less an "extension" and more of "I have this problem, how do I solve it now using elisp?".

So basically, your develop the solution bottom up. You can pretty much write an elisp function anywhere in emacs (in the very file you are editing, in the already open scratch buffer, in an elisp popup shell) and test the function incrementally. Also, the extensive in-built help system lets you very quickly lookup functions that you need.

Once you have something that solves your current problem, you can save it, if you want. Over time your custom collection of functions improves and then you decide if something there needs to be generalized or made into a package.

Obviously this needs some basic elisp knowledge and then just practice over time.
> Moreover, if non-normality is the problem, then pretty much all of modern finance is invalidated.

I’d say, finance from the 70s is invalidated. And it has been invalidated countless times with all the major mutual funds going bust.

I’d love to encourage you to read more on this topic. Taleb’s “The Black Swan” is a good start, his other books are also good.
For nutrition and diet I can highly recommend "How Not To Die" by Dr. Michael Gregger:
https://nutritionfacts.org/book/
You could do something similar to how they trained a ML model to find antibiotics compounds: https://www.cell.com/action/showPdf?pii=S0092-8674%2820%2930.... First, train a deep learning model to learn a representation of molecules from their molecule structures. Then feed in the thousand or so known compounds that produce pleasant or unpleasant smells as training data with some score of "pleasantness". We can then use this model to quickly score millions of compounds and select candidates to test.
It’s not a question of focus at all; by Birkhoff’s theorem it can’t be a sphere
I do have my own email server, so I can mention what I did, which is to post through an external server, using my own server only for receiving. The server software will accept messages from localhost and pass them to the next server (the ISP's server), and then that next server will forward it to the correct destination, rather than sending it directly to the destination.
I think you mean “old fashioned”... which goes to show that even skilled, disciplined, knowledgeable folks can make simple mistakes. When the stakes are high, it’s important to use tools to augment human judgement.
I'm not sure how long that's been the case. The actual site at their normal domain seems to have been down for a few months, with a 522 cloudflare timeout.

I'm curious if that's the case for you as well, or if it's my ISP blocking (I wouldn't expect to see the cloudflare error if my ISP was blocking but I don't know).

I bring this up because if the site is unresponsive from wherever you're searching (or perhaps unresponsive for all, idk) then maybe it got de-ranked on google.

Are you talking about wav2letter@anywhere?

If so, I haven't dug deeply yet, but I suspect the author's point stands - inference-time efficiency is one thing, but training compute (and separately, data-efficiency) is another.

I don't think the author is necessarily criticizing anyone, and I don't think he/she is saying that these tools/models/papers/etc aren't welcome. My read is that "pushing STT beyond the FAANG use-case means we should stop confining ourselves to FAANG-scale data and models".
Would love to see this for card games
How long does it take to build a mask factory? Maybe we should stockpile machines that can rapidly ramp up production of millions of face masks per day in preparation for the next pandemic.
There has been some work on it. There is a higher prevalence of depression in our modern society. Other societies facing more struggles are less prone to depression. It makes sense, if you think about it - if you're struggling to feed yourself and your family, you're not happy, but you're also not depressed. You haven't got time to be depressed.

Of course, there's other interpretations: people with depression would have not bothered to get up to feed themselves, because what's the point? They would be early victims of whatever violence the society was under.

I've seen similar while travelling. Poor societies with better family connections are less depressed. Mentally unwell people are looked after by their families. Everyone seems happier and more content with their lives, despite being materially poorer.

Returning to Australia after a year away in Cambodia, my first impression was "why is everyone so unhappy and angry?". It's strange. We have everything, yet we're unhappy.

I haven't started checking the library yet... But I have it on my radar, since I'm already doing clojure I feel like it is an easy way to "add some prolog" to my programs :-)
“Cheap labor” is an excuse IMO. The US firmly fell behind other countries (most famously Japan) in manufacturing expertise in the late 20th century. We buy a lot of stuff that’s made in rich, expensive-labor countries like South Korea, Japan, and Taiwan. Even some Chinese manufacturing hubs are rapidly approaching first-world standards of living. Cheap labor might be enough to win a niche in stuff like textiles but there’s no reason you can’t manufacture electronics in a first world country.

> Apache-Licensed PINE, where pine was the old (non-DFSG-free) "Program for Internet News and E-mail" - formerly known as "Pine Is Nearly Elm", named after a yet older electronic mail program. Nowadays contains its fork realpine, which the developers insist is re-alpine (alpine development restarted, since the original team seems to not be doing much) and not real-pine…

Ok, I guess…?
If you think that fashion and perfumery are “the mundane” you are sorely wrong.

I recently stumbled upon Airmeet[1]. It's not really for birthday parties, more like networking events. Still, I find the concept intriguing.

They offer a kind of socializing space. It is organized by virtual tables. Each table holds up to 4 participants via webcam. That way you do not have the typical issue of large zoom calls where only a few people can talk at a time. You get a lot smaller conversations much like a real networking event.

They seem to be still starting out, so there are a few issues. But I hope they iron them out. The concept seems really promising.

For people interested in using Lean, note that there's a community fork (https://github.com/leanprover-community/lean) of the last official Lean 3 release 3.4.2 (https://github.com/leanprover/lean). The fork is still under active maintenance, so might be a better place to start (the main development team have moved onto developing Lean 4.0 (https://github.com/leanprover/lean4), and it's not clear when that will be ready).
What search engines don't censor?
For sure! Often times the COVID19 choropleths often look like population maps due to lack of normalization. We added the normalization map to try and address this. Will change the default then. Thanks for the feedback.
I also had to look it up. It appears to sort of be a new word for the (often tried earlier) concept of visual/gui/config based programming, without requiring traditional programming languages.

This seems missing the point of what percentage of the US population is lacking the basic digital literacy to be able to remotely approach some of the tasks above.

Being a consumer is far different than being a creator/manipulator of content.

We do it natively in our day so much we forget that there are many that don't participate in the world like this. They probably would, if they had the chance to learn.
Video editing is a very usefull skill. It's rewarding to be able to quickly trim, stitch and edit some clips and maybe throw in some effects here and there.

Davinci Resolve is a surprisingly good tool and for a non-professional it would be my no. 1 recommendation.
I found the payment liberating. I don't have to be nice to this person. I don't have to let them talk half the time, or consider their feelings. I can spend the entire hour talking about me. Because I pay them money.

My therapist was fantastic. I wouldn't say she cared about me, but she definitely cared about her craft. She wanted the best for me, partly because that is what motivates her to do this.

Almost exactly like seeing any other health professional. My doctor doesn't "care about me". They care about being a good doctor, and helping me recover from whatever ailment I have is what good doctors do.

I'm not a mental health professional, but it sounds like you needed your therapist to "care about you" in order to accept their help, which is something you might want to talk to them about.

There seems to be a lot of misconceptions about N95 style masks. N95/KN95 are made from melt-blown nanofiber fabric which 20x'd in price due to sudden demand and constrained supply, through early March from its price 6 months prior. When your inputs 20x in price the actual cost of the product is naturally going to increase.

thank you for these links, its really helpful bro
Let us leave aside my use of designers for a moment and turn to the actual businesses that constitute the media.

On the one hand, media businesses are, in most cases, for-profit enterprises similar to other enterprises.

On the other hand, “to inform” or to have better informed citizens is in the public interest. “To inform” essentially an altruistic goal. Something done for the greater good is hard to monetize unless you ask for donations. Altruism as a business model will not pay the salaries of journalists.

My argument is that the two goals: “for profit” and “to inform” are incompatible goals — either you found a non-profit media entity with the altruistic goal of better informing people, or you found a for-profit without the pretension of altruism.

By arguing that “I and perhaps many other people think the media should inform people”, that the media’s collective purpose is to better inform, essentially what you are really saying is that you want for-profit enterprises to behave in the manner expected of non-profit enterprises? As I said, this is a noble but unrealistic ask. This is the crux of our disagreement.

Audiobooks could be another resource, but they’ll only give you a narrator’s intonation. On the other hand, at some point it may become easier to train people to speak in a certain way to computers instead of training computers to understand the unclear mumblings of casual speech.

If code is engineering, then types aren't science; they're electronic design rules. Coding without types is like trying to design a printed circuit board without a 'check widths and clearances' button.
Why would I laugh?

I've done a lot of C programming over the years and I still consider it one of the most elegant languages I've had the opportunity to work with. With the right skillset, you can be as productive as a programmer of any other language or system.

And it's great to see where some of the things we take for granted in programming, come from.

The example the author provided is too trivial to convince me to use lean.
The wheat flour is white wheat flour, the most common all-purpose kind. Don't worry too much about the protein, this bread will not develop lots of gluten strands anyway. You do want to mix it quite a bit, if possible, and you will get some gluten, but nothing like with white bread.

I think the levain should be rye-based, but I do not have data to back that up. Never tried anything different.

As to the quality of rye flour in America, the organic one from Hodgson Mill was good and very comparable to what I use in Poland. The non-organic one less so.

I think the dark bread you described resembles a pumpernickel, but I'm not sure. I never liked pumpernickel much.

Oh, I forgot one important thing in the US: the water in your tap! If it's chemical plant waste like in many places, it can't be used for bread baking. Specifically, if it's chlorinated, you might get away with keeping some in a jar waiting for the chlorine to evaporate. But if chloramines are used (like in San Diego, for example), you're screwed. I had to buy a good activated carbon water filter before I could bake bread in San Diego. I think it's a good idea anyway.
The curious pitfalls in shell redirections to $((I++))
It's also not human readable, a confusing format, barely standardized, and just a pain to work with in general.

The reason for doing this is to better estimate the essential parameters of the disease (ease of spreading, distribution of symptoms, lethality rate)

We need those for capacity planning and for deciding when and how to ease restrictions. I think many of the richer countries already have decent enough estimates for capacity planning, and are in the process of widening testing to gather ideas about how to wind down restrictions (may take till the end of 2021, in some scenarios)
Interesting article. Types definitely make it easier to figure how things work in new codebases. I wonder how often do experienced Haskell developers find bugs in production.
Oh, please, have you been to the hospital? This is typical visit: check-in with security, wait in line, check-in with receptionist, wait, talk to the nurse assistant (wtf? I kid you not, now nurses have assistants!), wait, repeat exact same thing you said to assistant to the nurse, wait, see doctor for 5 minutes and repeat exact same thing again! How the fuck is it supposed to be efficient?
It was a goal of mine to have up to date knowledge in it, latest deps and so on. I would be glad to write something else on writing web-apps with Clojure.
