> what they think is still an invention

Is there anything that any human thinks (other than straight-out mimicry) that is not an invention?

If I type:

squirgle florb snozbar

would you say that I have invented something? Because if the answer to that is yes, then I'll concede the point (and observe that "invention" is not a particularly interesting concept). But if the answer is no, then I challenge you to draw a distinction between what I just did and what mathematicians do in a principled way.
Oh, that’s definitely possible. I didn’t think of that. Thanks 'SpicyLemonZest.

What adjustments were made to account for selection bias of the sort described? It's not covered in the paper, and "well-established science" certainly doesn't answer the question.
We're not talking about medical experts here.
The ability to automatically rename transactions to more friendly names but not break future imports.

* Let me create a payee like "Amazon" and define some rules to map transactions to them. Make sure there's some flexibility. Regex would be nice but probably doesn't have to be that powerful. Things like "AMZN MKTP%" and "AMAZON.COM%".

* Make sure that for all functions in your UI/API/whatever that the transactions are as if they were all to the single payee "Amazon."

* But, and this is the thing that other budget software gets wrong, keep the original transaction around so that when I reimport my transactions they get mapped correctly.

Support payment apps like Venmo/CashApp without having to treat them like this weird account. I get that's how accountants do it but I just want to import my Venmo and link the transactions.

* If I split something with someone then only count the money I spent toward my budget category. Other apps add this as a "credit" to the category which, while works, is silly and gives a distorted picture of my spending. I buy $60 worth of food for friends but I only spend $10 then I want the $50 be its own thing and moved out of the category once linked. I should be able to do this with cash too. Give me the option to hide such transactions since they're not really mine and just noise to my spending.

* Similarly, let me choose how I want joint spending to work. If me and my husband have a joint checking account in addition to our personal accounts and I set a global rule like "keep under $200 for groceries" then allow me to decide whether I want $200 spent from the joint account to count as $200 or $100 (or really any split I suppose).

Make income work less silly than imaginary infinity dollar accounts. Behind the scenes do what you gotta do but make it okay to have money appear from nowhere. I don't want my stimulus check to live in an imaginary "The Fed." Accountants I guess love it but it's just noise to me.

Another one for managing multiple accounts and marriage/roommates. Allow creating account-local, person-local, and global rules and buckets for everything.

Often, these companies will not only do as you suggested, they will turn around and sell your data at a premium (since it's been confirmed) to third-party companies before marking it as hidden.

I'm aware of client side caching, but I'm talking about server-side caching. When thousands of people hit the server for the exact same updates every 30 seconds (for my scoreboard), client side caching doesn't help with anything.

I'm aware of the query plan caching mechanisms in Hasura too (I read exactly that blog post), but they don't solve the "always hits the database with every single request" issue, unlike a handwritten API endpoint / a traditional server rendered view where either the db response or the entire HTTP response could be easily cached with redis/memcached.
I would argue the opposite. openSSL is such a can of worms at this point that if you suggested this sort of magic thinking in a design meeting, you'd have a fight on your hands and I wouldn't be the only person arguing with you.
Out of curiosity, do you shop at places like either?
Glad you didn't die of measles. Unfortunately other people did.

Please cite evidence of the lives destroyed by administering vaccines.

I didn't claim that a lockdown has no adverse effect, quite the contrary. That's why a vaccine (which we don't have, sadly), of course only if it's safe and effective (which is what we generally test for, hence why it takes so long), would help: it would immunise us and we could stop the epidemic at a much lower cost to society than with lockdown.

"Blindly trusting science" is not a thing; science is all about facts and evidence, not about trust.

An interpolation that looks for movement of a few anchor points? I imagine that would entail much less computation and so deliver apparent real-time night vision. Though sudden big movements in scene would cause blackout regions of about a second?

This is a good question. No, Vulkan and WebGPU will not fall back, they require hardware and driver support. What I think you're looking for is a higher level layer that will target GPU compute if it's available, otherwise CPU (or possibly other resources). Projects in this space include Halide and MLIR.

I witnessed instances in which IT was mandated to delete emails from the server in order to stop a certain piece of information (salary info sent accidentally to a large distribution list). It did not go well, of course, because of POP3. It was pretty hilarious actually seeing people forwarding the email repeatedly. But with a calendar entry, it's a different story as it's centralized.
Great summary.

I'm very biased (active developer in Telegram ecosystem), but I'm having a hard time imagining Durov letting this SEC case stop him.

Even if he has to return all the funds, I'm confident he will still push forward and bring TON and Grams into production.

It's less of a straight path, but Durov's smart and stubborn - two valuable traits in this circumstace.
WordPress is popular because it's very easy to setup. Just throw it into your htdocs folder, install some theme and plugins and you're good to go. Make install harder and you'll lost a big reason to use WordPress.

I think the only reason someone would do this is when a company that's using WordPress want to migrate to AWS to use "cloud" technology but don't want to invest in rewriting their website, which is odd. If they have engineering capability to move their WordPress site to AWS with complicated architecture, surely they have the chop to rebuild the website with something else that more compatible with cloud technology?
Side note, as in your place, I'd like to know: "bear" in mind. "Bear with me". Think of the animal. Rawr.

Otherwise agree with your post. All depends on the business needs.
Yes. The article clearly discusses how select individuals disagree with majority medical opinion with basically zero evidence. So the opinion of medical experts matters.
Oh that's helpful, thanks. Don't need to read the text.

It's also a bit insane how far they go with the marketing lies.

Point taken. Please excuse the over exuberance during uncertain times.
does it show you that info?
Which is extremely lossy, because any ISO other than the sensor's native level is the result of in-camera processing. Unlike film, adjusting the "ISO" in a digital camera doesn't increase sensitivity; that's physically impossible. Instead, very strong overgain processing is applied.

So in this instance they're processing lossily on top of an image already processed lossily in-camera.

Yes? But that's unrelated to the comment you were replying to.
I know the media attacked Facebook for that announcement, but everything I can gather suggests that it was just meant to give victims more control and didn't have any nefarious motives (unlike other 'features' offered by Facebook).

Careful, though, because just being a critic doesn't mean he isn't susceptible to the same sorts of biases and issues that cause a lot of other medical papers to fail. I'm hoping he's on the paper because they ran it by him for a thumbs-up before submitting it.
Bear in mind a lot of startups get a ton of free AWS credits, which means the sticker-price is almost irrelevant.
Certainly ARIN being weird [1] and not allowing to distribute their TAL (~CA cert, but for RPKI ROAs), or resulting RPKI data freely doesn't help.

I generally avoid Ubuntu, but I'm not looking for an out-of-the-box perfect experience, and I like new hardware.

The unfortunate reality is that hardware vendors, not OS vendors, provide software support for their hardware. Additionally, Linux is a minuscule portion of the desktop/laptop market, and hardware vendors can't justify dropping as much money on Linux as they do for Windows.

Still, plenty of hobbyists are happy to develop for, test, reverse engineer, and support good hardware, but using Linux on a new platform generally means being on the bleeding edge, which is one of the reasons I like Arch. It also means participating in mailing list discussions, diving into various software projects, and testing and submitting patches.

So far, the experience has been mixed, but positive. Like I said, I've experienced a few random lockups, mostly at first. The fans have been working as expected on Linux 5.6.4. Even now, I'm compiling Chromium (for VA-API support), which usually takes an hour or two even on a Threadripper 1950X, and they only spin up occasionally.

The battery life at the moment is generally either 2-3 hours (~35W-40W power usage), or 7-10 hours (~7W-10W), depending on hardware usage. This is close to what I've seen from reviewers using Windows, though not quite as good. I expect that to get better as Nvidia improves their dynamic power management, and software support for Linux gets better.

Regardless, if you want to play with new hardware, use a rolling release distro, or figure out how to compile newer versions of the packages that come with your distro.
Thank you. I've been pretty stressed lately and it's making me sloppy.

I was working on a tool to do this via open CCTV feeds from Shodan to help the respective govt. deal with physical distancing.

But, the problem of detecting distance between two bounding boxes not in same plane without depth was a hard problem[1]; Landing.AI has solved this by using top-down view from homography.

Bit unfortunate that this has not been made open-source. If anyone has open-source alternative to solve the distance problem, kindly mention it in the needgap[1].

I think this is a really high value endeavor and efficient use of time. It's the same way great writers learn how to write and produce great works.
At a glance it looks like it's sorted first by layoff date descending, then alphabetically on name.
"If the epidemic is more widespread than initially thought, why do you assume that the effective transmission rate would potentially decrease?"

Herd immunity. If testing is only detecting 1/50th of cases in NYC, for example, it means that there have been about 6M cases, or about 69% of NYC's population. That's basically the threshold where we'd expect to see the infection counts level off naturally.
I genuinely wish them good luck and I'm happy they're taking action.
I get why it uses LinkedIn, but that's not something that represents my actual CV or skill level. Most of the stuff I've done I don't really know (thanks to their abysmal and dark-pattern-based UI) how to put it on there in the first place.
Privacy is a big motivation, but to your point, not for most people.

The core benefit is it attempts to pull in the best results from different vertical search source based on search query intent.

Real world example, I play the guitar and search online for guitar tabs (music notation) all the time. I like a website called Songsterr for that, and historically I would search Google for "Songsterr" and then search that website.

Based on my site's model, when someone searches for "{song name/band} tab", it knows to hit the Songsterr API and also display those results directly on the SERP. Same goes for other niche topics, like hiking trails or podcasts.

Right now there are about 30 of these curated data sources for different topics integrated, but I have a list of hundreds of them to add.

The idea is that long term, there will be niche data sources that provide more relevant results for targeted topics.
I think it's especially common for mobile apps to accept emails without validation: I have a couple of accounts for different people with similar names on my rarely used gmail email.

Incredibly laborious. Pretty much everything has to be done by hand -- watering, fertilizing, etc. Totally worth it for specialized plants, or in certain climates, but you can't scale them to feed 6-going-on-7 billion people.
> It’s Amazon’s internal network, and Amazon’s email system, so they have the full right to control what happens on their resources.

It's against Amazon's interests to have this organization happen in a parallel, side channel instead. But they seem to be pushing this action in that direction.
Frustrating. I wonder what it could be :)
Is there a list of companies that are still hiring (and haven't hugely slowed down hiring like Google?).
I've been doing my business cards wrong all this time.
This is very strong evidence that the "realists" like Alex Berensen were correct. The shutdowns probably should end, while encouraging at-risk populations (mostly retired) to stay at home.
what 'kind' of employees are you referring to, exactly?
Knowing what I know about the sketch factor of this company I am reluctant to interact with them in any way, as this would just give them more data.
I hear you. Intelligent and abundant life on a planet that is PERFECTLY suited for it is a coincidence? Maybe, but it's tough proposition for me personally.
If you make your profile available publicly then I'd argue it is indeed public. As far as I'm aware, Clearview doesn't have a relationship with Facebook to access non-public data and instead they just operate a web crawler storing anything that's being served without requiring auth.
The origin isn't really relevant (although looking it up now, Napoli claims tomato pizza dating back to the 1800s).

Napoletan is its own dish as well, I don't think it makes sense to compare it to American styles. It's also important enough to modern Napoletan culture to be UNESCO recognized. I think it might also be a protected designation at this point?

To counter your opinion, I think a good Napoletan is fantastic. The chewy texture and the quality of ingredients (especially if you eat it at a nice place in Napoli, where the mozzarella di bufala tends to be much fresher) are fantastic.
This is actually a very very powerful idea.

The trick is to get something VPs / "Decision Makers" can use to make decisions that's easy for them to digest especially if they are not technically sophisticated. This meets that criteria.

They should add microsoft azure to this list.

This could absolutely become an RFP requirement / preference point for a lot of compliance focused / not only tech focused buyers (govt / large agencies and companies)

A huge thumbs up!
Yes, I believe this to be the case. I'm an Amazon seller. We also sell through our own website. We use Amazon to fulfill those orders as well. For those orders, Amazon gives us an estimate of when it will ship and when it will deliver. So far, they have been essentially 100% accurate (and occasionally a day early) with these estimates, without any delivery times being pushed out 2-3 weeks. That being said, some warehouses/regions seems to be experiencing longer delays than others. Sometimes we put in a fulfillment order and it will ship same day and get delivered in 2 days. So, totally normal. Other times we put in a fulfillment order and it won't ship for 4-5 days and/or it'll take 3-4 days to deliver.

So it appears to me that Amazon knows exactly how long it'll take to get products to you, and lead times are nowhere near the 2-3 weeks that they're showing to customers. The conclusion has to be, I think, that they're doing this to reduce demand.

The other way I think they're reducing strain on their warehousing infrastructure is by preferentially showing Fulfilled By Merchant (FBM), as opposed to Fulfilled By Amazon (FBA) listings in search results. We've been seeing this as well.
The landing was way more exciting than the car in space in my opinion.
Ones that take advantage of their federal right to organize.
I assume it's endemic at this point and we just need to learn how to live with it. Society can brace for a storm, but at some point you need to adapt and learn to live with the weather.
Feels pretty bad.

I suspect things will have to get worse before they get better. But then again we have the 3 big credit reporting agencies, and they don't seem to be going anywhere.
> you need two pictures

No, that's the brilliant part. They use one image and apply the assumption that it's a picture of a bilaterally-symmetric physical object in order to produce a synthetic second image.
RPKI doesn't sign hops in the path for a BGP update. That means to hijack a prefix, all you need to do is to take a legitimate route and re-advertise it with your AS as the second hop in the path.

This isn't as damaging as being able to advertise a smaller prefix because it won't send all traffic to you. It will just send from routers where your path is shorter than the original.

To actually prevent hijacking via path shortening attacks like this, you need a full BGPSEC implementation https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BGPsec which is a much higher barrier than RPKI because the crypto operations jump 1 or 2 orders of magnitude (signing every re-advertised route rather than just originated routes).

So RPKI gets the cert infra in place, but it doesn't really fully solve the problem.
Technically, most Windows desktop hardware is hot garbage. That's what happens when you have a system that can run on pretty much anything. And yet, Windows is the system of choice for large enterprises that have to get work done. Just because a system can run on lots of different systems doesn't make it inferior. If you were to use an equally priced Android device, like the Galaxy S20 Ultra, you would see the same smooth and fast performance you get on an iPhone. And that Galaxy S20 Ultra is still going to fast in 3 or 4 years. I'm running an Android flagship from 2017 and it's as smooth and fast as it was the day I bought it.
And much more. Not going to through it all in detail, and there are probably many things I don’t know about WeChat since I’m not a heavy user living in mainland China.

The team definitely needs to get the experience of being behind the great firewall. Try using a VPN there to watch YouTube, try using a locally purchased cell phone without access to Google Play or the Apple app store. Try bashing PRC government policies in WeChat.

Only then will they see how tightly things are locked down. It's not like they're the only ones to have this idea, so why doesn't it exist? Oh, because it's really difficult and even dangerous with the current police state that controls the communications.

There's plenty of evidence out there, and plenty of motivation to shoot down any attempt at objective research. Which is where your brain and your responsibility to use it enter the picture.

Of course it's about trust, science has been wrong about many things along the way, because of ignorance and lately to an increasing extent because of money.

Please refrain from putting words in people's mouth to hide your ignorance.
Not op, but I make a point of not having my face in profile pictures.
Unsolved, but with exciting new progress. I've gotten PRIME running on my new ROG Zephyrus G14, and all I have to do to run applications on the dGPU is use "prime-run". Dynamic power management also shuts down the GPU when it's not in use.
