Written communication is a challenge for some people. Not everyone is as good of a writer and this skill does not map to coding skills. In the team I'm currently in, this is definitely a problem and I notice some people are not used to doing this and are effectively struggling to be part of the ongoing discussions.

I've met more than a few engineers that in meetings don't tend to speak up and in chat channels mostly don't engage. Chat channels tend to be dominated by the same people that are also dominating meetings. This is not necessarily a good thing.

For better or for worse, this causes side channels to pop up and this is where most of the discussion happens. This is a problem because it by design excludes people. But it's needed because you can't speak freely in a channel where everybody in the company listens in, including management, individuals you don't get along with, etc. Pretending this is not a problem is not helpful.

In OSS projects, there's a pattern of frequent contributors to be disciplined about how they use communication tools. IRC historically is the place where people discuss in an unmoderated forum. It's noisy and chaotic and often not pretty. But it's not necessarily there for documenting decisions. That's what issue trackers or mailing lists are for. Those tend to have a narrower scope of what is on and off topic.

Translating chats into actionable items, or documenting outcomes of discussions is the key thing to do. The larger the project, the more obvious this need.

In a corporate setting, the tools for this are comparatively poor and not that good for facilitating asynchronous communication. E.g. Atlassian's tools are pretty popular but not great for async stuff. IMHO Jira is slow to interact with and this obstructs effective communication. It's notifications, default settings, etc. are basically completely wrong and counterproductive. Absolutely everything requires multiple mouse clicks. IMHO Github issues is vastly easier to deal with for engineers; it's also easier to refer to commits and pull requests there. And with github actions integrated, you also get insight into the status of CI. Likewise conflucence is a PITA to use compared to managing markdown files in a git repository or co-authoring a document on Google docs. Slack is nice but way too noisy for communicating things unless you have read only channels that are used for things like announcements.
Is that your private definition of "real-time"? I think it is common to define real-time processing by a specified, finite time between input and output. Many real-time processes are concerned more with the consistency of the latency than with its absolute value.
I don't know. I use Keep because it's simple and syncs across all devices. And it's free, but not open source.
While they do end with pushing their product, I think they did a good job of outlining how they scrape the recipes. They inform the reader about json+ld, microdata, and how to scrape the sites that don't use those. They even link to a JS lib that handles the parsing for you. I think calling it "just an ad" is inaccurate.

> There are libraries like https://github.com/digitalbazaar/jsonld.js/ to parse JSON-LD + Microdata for you.
It's within the realm of possibility. Parabiosis as a rejuvenation method has been slowly gaining attention since the 1970s and increasing credibility in the last two decades. Research seems to indicate that the introduction of blood parts from the young->old reduces markers of aging in the old. See https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5662775/ for a reasonable quick overview.
Offhand do you recall the one-liner for that?

I remember seeing it a couple years back.
Writing is half the issue. Most people are not very good readers, even of well-written material.
Real World application written in Svelte requires a lots more libraries and code to supplement parts Svelte does not provide. So in the end you still have a big chunk of data.

Svelte does not make the problem dissapear. Svelte does not provide a solution. Svelte has exactly the same problem like React.
Waiting for the usual arguments why this is still not enough and our only solution is to have an infinite worldwide lockdown.
Its got to be cost-effective. That's the gold standard. Is it cheaper than not breaking the plastic down? E.g. other solutions - burning, burying...

Not a moral argument. Just a practical one - the free market isn't going to use this unless it has a short payback period.
Crucially, plasma treatment of the old rats [109 weeks] reduced the epigenetic ages of blood, liver and heart by a very large and significant margin, to levels that are comparable with the young rats

Since I spend a lot of money on this kind of stuff I figured I'd share. The use of platelet rich plasma (PRP) is rapidly growing in the beauty industry. My wife has had PRP used in various procedures that have indeed created a more youthful appearance (by like 10 years). Basically they can inject it anywhere through hundreds of tiny needles. Most often this is done to the face but you can even do this to the vagina (you'd be surprised how many women over 40 do this). That is, if you want hundreds of needles entering the labia and (horror of horrors) the clitorous too.

There's even a process for men where you can have PRP injected in your shaft and the results (I'm to terrified of needles in my dick to try it) are quite good (firmness, sensation, youthfullness) from what I hear.

The PRP procedures my wife has had, although expensive, have had impressive results.
Also to keep in mind that RE markets are regional. SF/NYC for example are out of bounds when it comes to this. Question is what is the actual value for each property, they might be under 1M but it might just be that that's their actual value, just more ppl trying to sell now.

I don't really agree with it, I'm just trying to explain the viewpoint.

They're not owed in a fully capitalist system, but I can see some merit for the idea that inequality has gotten so bad that there needs to be external intervention to fix that, and redistribute the wealth that is currently concentrated in the top 1%. Giving normal people that money would be a good thing for the economy, and I can see some benefit to it.

Now of course in practice it wouldn't be legal and getting that money from them would be near impossible, but its interesting in theory.
Having absolute imports and aliases built-in is huge. This was a pain to set up before, so I'm really excited to try this out.

I think "rate" in the parent comment was just referring to speed, not sample rate. But yes, latency is critical for anything used during recording or performance. However way back when I used to make my own music I used non-realtime plugins sometimes and it was okay.
Each of us using Keybase saw the potential for the tech. We supported and evangelized Keybase because we wanted to see a world where the workflows enabled by Keybase were more common. There were no false pretenses: Keybase was openly flailing about for a revenue model, and the client was made open-source as a display of goodwill so that leaving would not be impossible.

If Keybase completely shuts down, I have hopes the team will be able to convince Zoom to let them pack up and release parts of the server code not being shared with Zoom's products.
We’re in a capitalist system, so I had assumed that allocation would happen via the free job market: people with money write job descriptions for scientists to work on particular things, and the scientists decide which of those offers to pursue. Central control of this sort of thing hasn’t historically worked out well (though I may be biased on this point from growing up in the US).

As for switching fields, one of the key parts of scientific training is how to learn things, so scientists have a better chance of successfully changing felds than many other people. It also isn’t necessarily as big a leap as physics to biochem, like you suggested in another comment. Moving from theoretical particle physics to tokamak design seems like it should be doable, for instance.

How does it matter if a billionaire lives or dies? Their wealth is simply spread out to heirs or pet projects of theirs, no difference from when they're actually alive. Companies take on a life of their own, so Apple hasn't been damaged in any significant way after Jobs, likewise with Gates, Sergey & Larry etc.

Taxation will catch up, but I don't see any significant negative effects to society.

How Breaking Up Big Tech Could Affect the Pentagon's Access to AI [pdf]
I'm not an expert on machine learning or DSP, but I do know just enough of each to suspect this isn't anywhere near as impressive as it seems.

A distortion pedal is essentially just a waveshaper [1]. Think of audio in digital terms as just a series of numbers. A waveshaper is just a simple mathematical function. To apply it, you literally just apply the function to each value in the input stream and there's your output stream. There's no memory or interesting algorithms going on. It's the audio equivalent to calling map() on your list of samples with some lambda to produce a new list of samples.

Of course distortion pedals do that in the analogue domain using circuitry, which has some additional complexity because transistors and diodes and friends don't behave exactly like mathematical functions. There's "sag" and some other physical effects that cause the output to also somewhat depend on previous input.

Even so, that can generally be modelled using a simple convolution. Each output sample is calculated by taking some finite number of previous input samples, multiplying each of them by a weight factor, and then summing the results.

Does that sound like a neural net? It is. That's what we call them convolutional neural networks. Convolution is bread and butter in DSP. You can easily generate one that produces the same effect as some piece of hardware or acoustic environment by running an impulse (a single 1.0 sample surrounded by silence) through the system and then recording the result. That "impulse response" essentially is your set of convolution weights.

So using a deep neural network and then training sounds a lot to me like overkill to me. You could accomplish much the same by using a "depth-1 network" and running an impulse through it.

Caveat, though: I am just a novice here, so there could very well be a lot of subtlety I'm missing out on.

Germany might be an example to look at this. We have welfare that's paid out wherever you live. It's conditional in so far that it's expected that you look for a job and aren't rich, but that's about it. It has a fixed money component (~400€/month) and covers rent (up to some amount that's set locally, depending on the local rent prices), utilities, health insurance etc directly.

Therefore, if you're okay with the amount of money you'd get, you'd probably be better off if you're not living in a large city, because, rent aside, city living is a bit more expensive. Also, considering that you're supposed to look for work, living in a city (where the jobs are, if they are anywhere) would increase the chances of you being expected to take a job, which you wouldn't have to in more rural areas.

People still move to the cities, even though the job market isn't promising for low-skill workers there either.

There are certainly many reasons, but some I believe to be involved: it's harder to get an apartment when you're on social benefits (even more so if not in the community you're currently living in), it's harder to live in a rural area if you don't have a car (which you'll likely not be able to buy while on benefits), few people have the means to move when money is tight.
I would agree, I've worked with scientists and all types of engineers for decades and I think scientists used to rigorous lab work and coders tend to be better writers although it's not a super strong correlation.
What about a drawing mechanism like Canvas?
What about custom font support?
JSON serialisation?
Google Play Services support?
A websocket client?

That's just off the top of my head the dependencies of said app. I'm not confident the C one would be much smaller, especially since Java's bytecode is more compact.
What is it you think we're doing when we write `2+2`, if not encoding an expression using something called "ASCII?" FRACTRAN simply asks us to use a different encoding, "Prime Factorization."

:-D

That being said, you ask a really, REALLY interesting question. Why not write the conversion from ASCII (or anything else) to FRACTRAN as well as whatever function we're trying to compute?

The answer, I suggest, lies in what we're using FRACTRAN for. Conversion to and from ASCII is what we might call "incidental complexity," it's useful to humans, but not at the core of whatever function (e.g. Fibonacci, digits of PI, prime numbers, universal FRACTRAN interpretation) we're studying.

Were we to bake ASCII encoding in, the resulting FRACTRAN program would be 95% ASCII manipulation and only 5% fibonacci (or whatever).

This highlights, of course, why non-esoteric languages have tools for modularization and abstraction. When we write "Hello, World," we rely on standard libraries and other tools that do the things our program isn't about.

I'm often surprised by how bad people are able to handle basic computer stuff. For example: why TF don't you learn yourself how to type on a keyboard properly to accelerate your typing by like 10 times. Why TF are you not using the shortcuts your software is giving you to accelerate like 10 times.
It's really the conversion to weight (grams, from cups/tbsp/tsp/hogsheads) that would be valuable. It's just so much easier to clean to stick a scale under the mixing bowl.

Ryanair is a bit beyond the pale...worse than Spirit here in the US. They've planned in the past, for example, to charge a fee for using the toilet. And a different plan to remove them in favor of more seats. Neither panned out, but still.
Past failure does not inherently prove future failure. Plenty of things were implemented poorly and yet people who favor them will argue that it just needs to be done better.

Are they correct or are they missing something core enough to the issue that makes poor implementation and almost assured outcome?

And for bans in general, there are many bans that went poorly yet people still generally approve of a ban, even when it has unintended costs, as long as they have a strong dislike of the item being banned.

For example, CSA image bans have a history of being used to restrict freedom (such as the recent attack on encryption) and great personal cost to individuals (any kids who get caught up in laws that didn't make exceptions for kids committing the criminal acts), and they can largely be judged as a failure (from police and news reports of how the problem continues to grow worse). Yet such laws have extremely widespread support, more than most any other law I can think of, to the extent where even reasonable rollbacks of the existing to attempt to fix some of the current problems can kill a political career.
Environment variables being exposed to the client is great assuming this means they can be configured at runtime and available on the client
There seems to be no analysis of whether these are neutralizing antibodies. The idea of using serology for immunity certificates or "golden tickets" is never going to go well. Even with 99.9% specificity, if the population prevalence is 1%, 10% of positives will be false positives. If in real world testing, specificity is 99% and population prevalence is 1%, then 50% of positives are false positives.
The obvious answer is that the companies that have their QA in Penang fairly quickly learn that the 7,500 engineers in Penang that you got for the price of 20 engineers in the US not only don't do the QA correctly, they're actively making the quality worse by DDOSing the engineers in the US with jira tickets. Then you find out that the senior management outsourced core activities to Penang, and before you know it you're on 14nm++++++ and angry US engineers are being forced to fly to Penang and figure it out, and the CEO is being blackmailed into a resignation using an office affair as a pretext.

May have gotten a bit too specific with my hypothetical there.
> These neurons are stimulated in response to sugar but not artificial sweeteners

That kind of sucks for those who reach for e.g. stevia to add to their tea when feeling the sweet tooth?

So would it be appropriate to guess that this sugar benefit has something to do with the brain processing more primal pressures, like really harsh treatment by a boss at work?
Since 1990 the energy density if lithium ion has has increased by a factor of about 4, and the cost had reduced by a factor off about 6. While keeping in mind that consumer lithium ion itself was quite a breakthrough in terms of energy density in the first place.

Both of these metrics are still improving too.

Maybe an odd suggestion, but I do this during the day and find it refreshing: buy a pair of industrial-strength soundproof earmuffs and an eye cover (for sleeping.) Put both on and meditate for 10-15 minutes, or if possible, lay down on a couch or bed. I always feel refreshed after ‘resetting’ my sensory inputs in this manner.

Yeah, SV is really just the bubbliest-of-bubbles. It attracts so much talent, and is funneled so aggressively in so localized a market, that your anecdotal observation of "everyone and their mother went to an Ivy League or similar" is probably more true than most people might expect. Such is life, and it ain't fair.

UW is a great school. UW is what most people should realistically aspire to (as that caliber of school). It's upper-middle-class; it will most likely give you a great education and a great life.

UW is not Stanford/MIT/Harvard/etc. though. Those are not upper-middle-class schools; those are upper-upper-class schools. And it's not really the quality of education content either, at least if we're talking about average outcomes (but at the margins, ~2+ standard deviations away from the mean, it's no contest).

If anything, this should signal that SV has gone too far and the labor market is acting irrationally by competing so much for educational branding. However, just like the old adage says, the market can remain irrational longer than you can remain solvent.
At the moment, there is no AMD GPU which supports the full ray-tracing spec. So effectively, it is NVIDIA-only.
