Yes, but it will be tough for them to compete with YouTube, which has lost money consistently since Google acquired them in the early 2000’s. Google is effectively offering YouTube below cost which creates an anticompetitive effect.
Flywheels aren't a new concept. I first encountered them in Brad Stone's excellent book about Amazon, The Everything Store, which I believe was published in 2014. Stone explained how Bezos and crew discovered their flywheel in 2001:

> Bezos and his lieutenants sketched their own virtuous cycle, which they believe powered their business. It went something like this: Lower prices led to more customer visits. More customers increased the volume of sales and attracted more commission-paying third party sellers to the site. That allowed Amazon to get more out of fixed costs like the fulfillment centers and the servers they needed to run the website. This greater efficiency then enabled it to lower prices further. Feed any part of this flywheel… and it should accelerate the loop. Amazon executives were elated… after five years, they finally understood their business."
As a primarily single-player gamer, I totally agree. The varied impact NPCs can have on a game is awesome, an example off the top of my head that I enjoy - Skyrim.

The moment you add three more students, the first girl is no longer one girl out of a group of three students, she is one girl (out of the two girls) out of a group of six students.

Same with the second girl.

So, once you add 3 more students, 1/3 becomes 1/6.

1/6 + /6 = 1/3.

I think another thing that could help make it feel more immersive would be a bit of unreliability or incompleteness in information gathered from NPCs. Why does every villager know that there is a legendary mirror in the Fire Mountains that can block dragon flames? Were they all at the meeting where that was clearly and repeatedly announced? Maybe instead they could be saying things like "I hear theres some legendary weapon in the Fire Mountains". "Mabel told me she heard about a a magic mirror that drives away dragons". "An adventurer came from the mountains the other day and mentioned a magical shield against dragons". Now the player knows they should hunt for something to fight the dragon, but what it is isn't clear. Perhaps the full info will come from an important NPC later.

Cannot Purchase Apple Developer Account
I have been trying to create an Apple Developer Account for a few weeks now to no avail. As I noticed to my astonishment this has been an issue with multiple developers for months, since Nov 2019 .

I have found this thread in the Apple support forums with people who have the same issue and they all say the same.

The enrollment application gets canceled after a day, the support stops answering to any questions and there is no official response to this issue from Apple.

My experience is exactly the same, I have created 3 accounts and used multiple credit cards, all rejected. Note that the credit card form does not have any field for the ccv, and does not redirect to a bank confirmation page. It is a mystery to me how they could create a payment without any of these but to the first and only reply I got from apple support they stated:

"The purchase of the program doesn’t require your CCV or a passcode to verify your bank."

As this seems to be an issue Apple has decided to ignore for now and not share any support I am trying to raise some awareness in case it gets the traction needed to get Apple to deal with this or at least support the people with this issue.

How to Put Any Twitter Account on Automation for Completely Free via Integromat
I think I understand your question.

"Translucent" was coined to describe somewhere between all cleartext (transparent) and all encrypted (opaque).

Generally, only sensitive fields are encrypted, so no record level encryption. The cleartext fields can still be searched, indexed.

The book shows many clever schemas for mixing and matching hashes, keys, and cleartext.

I used translucent strategies for storing patient data. It's pretty straightforward after some experience. Though I admit I didn't have any resources to review, audit our efforts.
The federated Mastodon, the one people generally are talking about, is controlled, by a 'democracy' of sorts of the server owners.

The technology itself is of course open, but if your content is not approved by the main Mastodon federation, then users will have to be signed into multiple Mastodon federations (if that's what they wish), one to see the main Mastodon federation, and one to see the one that got banned. Because of this extra hurdle, a ban from the main Mastodon federation does shut out a large portion of the Mastodon users.

Mastodon is often presented as this 'free speech social network', in reality it's just a decentralized social network, with all the censorship that comes with being a modern social network.

Is he saying that hundreds of thousands more Americans will die, or hundreds of thousands of people across the world? If it's the former, I don't think that's going to happen. Most projections seem to show us hitting 200k in the worst case.

"where it is up to the user whom they block" does not imply that you have to manually select who to block, rather it could as well mean that you are free to select block-lists (with the ability to fork them if you so wish) of your own choice rather than have the admin of your network force them on you.
A more useful paraphrase would be "sscanf() is slow. Here's some code that doesn't use it and it's much faster."
There’s an entire web framework for Elixir called Phoenix.

Sublime Merge is a standalone app that isn't really all that integrated with Sublime Text, despite the name and coming from the same company. In other words, using Sublime Merge with VSCode is roughly the same as using it with Sublime Text. It's simply a great git client.

I'd guess the biggest reason to use Sublime Merge over a VSCode extension is that it's a small, very fast, native app. I've used it before when wanting to, e.g., search my git history for a change I'd made (IIRC a function name I remembered but which was no longer in the codebase). It's just snappier in general than VSCode. But I use command line git rather than any VSCode integration, so for the most part that serves me well enough anyway.
All 3 versions are being open sourced. Says so in the article you linked.
But the parent's point is that "the model and the human probably make different errors".

That is frequently true. Take the job of a lifeguard for instance. A single mistake can be catastrophic, and yet we know that people have trouble staying completely focused for hours on end.

AIs have no trouble staying focused and they can be trained to spot drowing swimmers pretty well even on a crowded beach.

Having a human lifeguard plus an AI that alerts the lifeguard when it spots something suspicious could lead to better outcomes than employing two lifeguards.
> In my mind I see it as a meritocratic choice to diversify the floor and honestly I've never seen this "feature" being abused or cause any friction.

How is it meritocratic if you decidedly do not consider the merits of the participants, but their attributed identity / group-membership?

I don't disagree with the idea that diversity can make for great results (though I probably disagree with you on what constitutes diversity), new perspectives and cool events. But I wouldn't say "therefore it's meritocratic", because it seems like something completely different.
People have a choice. Money or democracy, you can have a lot of money and still have democracy. But w hensmall numbers of people have most of the money, the less democracy there is.

I think it's a fallacy to assume that spree killers are trying to seize any kind of political power. The Columbine killers could not care less about educational or school policy: they were simply extreme nihilists who hated everyone and everything, and they were ready to prove it in the most self-aggrandizing way.

Mind you, I'm not saying that we should tolerate such folks, either; and once you get past their tiresome, narcissistic self-aggrandizement, it's not like they have anything worthwhile to say. But that's a different argument than Popper's; it assumes the existence of some minimally basic ethic of thriving, and says that no, you can't aim to destroy the world around you even if you would be quite OK with everyone else doing it back to you in return.
That really only solves part of the problem. Clean up your data. Clean up your processes. Then decide which processes can actually be improved in a meaningful way by ML. I've gone down the ML road twice now with companies that didn't do the second part and both times we had to kill the projects because the processes were so fuzzy and full of gotchas that no ML model could ever hope to be a net positive addition.
Yes, you should, if it decreases the R0 factor to the point the disease dies out. Kind of the whole ball game here.
Unfortunately performance claims appear to be bogus.

1. ospan, performance claims seem to be based on, doesn't do any bound checks, so you can easily get buffer overflow.

2. fast_io generates a whopping 50kB of static data just to format an integer.

So if these benchmark results are correct (I was not able to verify because the author hasn't provided the benchmark source):

> format_int 7867424 ns 7866027 ns 89 items_per_second=127.129M/s

> fast_io_ospan_res 6871917 ns 6870708 ns 102 items_per_second=145.545M/s

fast_io gives 15% perf improvement by replacing a safe format_int API from https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt with a similar but unsafe one + 50kB of extra data. Adding safety will likely bring perf down which the last line seems to confirm:

> fast_io_concat 7967591 ns 7966162 ns 88 items_per_second=125.531M/s

This shows that fast_io is slightly slower than the equivalent {fmt} code. Again this is from the fast_io's benchmark results that I hasn't been able to reproduce.

50kB may not seem like much but for comparison, after a recent binary size optimization, the whole {fmt} library is around 57kB when compiled with `-Os -flto`: http://www.zverovich.net/2020/05/21/reducing-library-size.ht...

The floating-point benchmark results are even less meaningful. They appear to be based on a benchmark that I wrote to test the worst case Grisu (https://www.cs.tufts.edu/~nr/cs257/archive/florian-loitsch/p...) performance on unrealistic random data with maximum digit count. fast_io compares it to Ryu (https://dl.acm.org/doi/pdf/10.1145/3192366.3192369) where maximum digit count is actually the best case and the performance degrades as the number of digits goes down. A meaningful thing to do would be to use Milo Yip's benchmark instead: https://github.com/miloyip/dtoa-benchmark

This is why I believe it is important to teach our children from first principles; we can no longer rely on media, left or right, to convey a large percentage of truth. I am old enough that the cliche "believe only half of what you read" is still good advice. Too many people glued to their devices, knee-jerk responses without much thought and propagate misinformation at almost the speed of electrons without consulting their slower-thinking, rational mind. I find relief in going back to first principles for many things now even if it is time consuming.
