As others have already pointed out, the question is ambiguous without more information. Always include the unit; bare magnitudes could mean anything! The student was describing the mediant[1], which was the correct solution when the problem is interpreted with forbiddenvoid'a units[2].

"Adding" fractions with the mediant leads to fun things like the Farey sequence[3] (related to Ford circles[4]) and the very interesting Stern–Brocot tree[5]. (Numberphile has a nice introduction[6] to the fun properties of the Farey sequence)

I’m confident* that “AI” these days means DNN that takes n-dim input in n>2. Anything else is “contemporary“ or “conventional” maths or theories.

* Read “not at all”
To me it always seemed pretty natural. \frac{1}{f(x)} would be (f(x))^{-1}, by analogue to x^{-1}+1 vs (x+1)^{-1}. I would have been very surprised if raising just the 'f' part of the function application expression to some power were to mean raising the whole expression to that power.

I also would expect f^{2}(x) to mean f(f(x)), not (f(x)) * f(x)) (which would be (f(x))^2).
Cool read thanks for sharing. Probably just bias but my experience with some games man the NPCs really make the game tick. Two quick examples, hollow knight, dark souls (or all soulsborne-kiro). Both are big on exploration etc. NPC interactions are so memorable. Will never forget certain times playing, making progress, finding crazy ass new hilarious NPC.

Fromsoft has plenty of these memorable NPCs from demon souls to sekiro!
So your counter-argument is: "This factor should be ignored."

Indeed! Writing freestanding C while usiing Linux system calls directly was a great experience. I had to rewrite a lot of functionality but everything was explicit and there was no need to worry about old C library stuff like FILE pointers, I/O buffers or thread-local errno.

Even the glibc system call stubs can be a lot more complex than they seem. Many of them have a lot of hidden functionality, something to do with system call cancellation. The kernel's own nolibc.h provides a much better way to make system calls:

This seems like a joke article. The 'long' startup time appears to be a second or two.

The slow animated menu is quick - I'd like to see someone actually select a menu item in the time it takes for it to drop down. The animation doesn't impact usability. All a bit bizarre.
That's not a reversed question, it's a completely new one. It was about sublime merge not sublime text as you appear to have switched it to.

Unless you're seriously suggesting that someone would stop using the Sublime Merge tool just to use vscode IDE for the sole function of git repo management.

In which case, yeah, don't do that
Well, maybe, though an external DVD drive probably costs no more than three or four movies, and then you can make yourself non-DRM digital copies too. (As long as you don't need BluRay and HD).
It didn't seem to me that the author is trying to coin a new phrase, or methodology, or specialty. They are just taking a known concept (flywheel) and explaining how they applied it at their company.

And that's useful. Knowing about a concept is one thing, and knowing how to apply it to your situation is another. Articles like this help with the latter.

"The neutrality of the authors and Ioannidis' overall stance on the pandemic was further called into question given that the often-cited study he co-authored in April 2020 was preceded by his op-eds in March, calling the pandemic a fiasco. It was also later reported that said study was financed by JetBlue's Founder;[30] presenting a serious conflict of interest authors had failed to disclose."

Give this series a read, it’s from 9 years ago: https://yieldthought.com/post/12239282034/swapped-my-macbook...

The author was using his iPad as an SSH dev machine even way back then. These days I find it even easier since the iPad can now fully support AWS Cloud9 and also VSCode remote workspaces, so you can do graphical IDEs as well. If you’re going to be developing remotely there’s no reason an iPad wouldn’t work well for you.
I don't buy physical books anymore. It's just stuff to get dusty and clutter up the place. Reading on a tablet is great- carry it anywhere, also has search, highlighting, bookmarks etc.

I prefer no DRM but I don't complain about the hassle of removing it- I'm too busy reading.
> MTA's and other mail servers add header fields tha not only uniquely identify sender and recipient but details about the conversation and attachments.

That really depends on how the server is configured. If the servers used are under the participants' control, then other than Received headers, nothing else should be exposed if the client does not include or encrypts the headers in addition to the body.

So, if the sender were to send an email using the following SMTP session:

EHLO random_string
MAIL FROM: <random.email@addr>
RCPT TO: <recipient@email.addr>
DATA
<PGP BLOCK>
.

then other than the received headers that are added by the MTAs, it wouldn't expose much information at all.
You will be quickly disabused of this notion if you talk to poor and/or brown people. While I’m sure that you can find occasional individuals who do not care about inclusivity, the large majority do care.

The attitude that your comment reflects crops up a lot in relation to, for example, the Washington Redskins naming controversy. Folks who like the current name are always bringing up a couple of examples of Native Americans who say they “don’t care” about the name, and claiming that it’s really only white liberals who are offended; meanwhile, in my experience, the large majority of Natives actually do care very much, and are upset that a racial slur used for their ethnicity is being used as the name of a sports team.
Should I Stay or Should I Pivot
I so desperately wanted to get in on this novel personal computing thing, and I couldn't afford a computer. In 1976 I bought a book on machine and assembly language programming not knowing a thing from a bookstore on Wall St. somewhere. It was for the DEC PDP-11. I went through the first third or so of it with pencil and paper and put boxes on the side to show me the status of registers. Not productive, but not a waste of time. I then bought a Commodore PET in 1978 and the rest is history! That early exercise made it easy for me to learn 6502 assembly and work on the Vic-20, C64, C128, and PowerPC Macs.
I did something similar but for macOS.
I used Frida, a really easy toolkit for intercepting native calls.

This actually makes me wonder which the company's plans are.

Sublime Text's changelog (https://www.sublimetext.com/3) depicts the product as essentially abandoned, which matches my experience.

On the other hand, the page linked says that the team is expanding.

I'm puzzled.
About "messing up the response in elderly care": I wonder what the strategy was there - if you want to protect the elderly, you also have to limit the freedom of movement of the employees that care for them and of the visitors, otherwise one of them will inevitably bring the infection in. But even if you do that, these persons can be infected by the people they live with - where do you draw the line? So I don't think it's about messing up in elderly care, it's more that the whole plan is unrealistic, it's just in elderly care that it shows...

> Would you also support banning hip hop albums that talk about shooting cops or other violent crime?

If we're talking no-platforming, I don't think the question is whether society bans it; I think the question is "Would you compel Wal-Mart to sell hip hop albums that talk about shooting cops or other violent crime?" And I would not. But it's a sliding scale which is, as you've noted, tied to the likelihood of the group in question seizing enough power to concretize their ideas. In the US at least, hip-hop artists aren't an organized political structure intent on overthrowing the US government.

White supremacists are another story entirely. It's pretty unambiguous what "blood and soil" or "Jews will not replace us" mean. And a lot of Americans are deeply concerned with the risk that that ideology has its tentacles extremely deeply embedded in one of the two primary parties at the federal level in the US.
No. They very well may have saved thousands, and god bless them. But nature lent a hand as summer came on and it got to the USA.
This is interesting to reason about because it's may even be true that the human and AI error rates could be the same. In fact the human error rate might even we worse, but the kinds of errors and their impact makes a big difference.

I can only speculate, but while it's true humans can fail when following a process, it's also true they can sometimes spot a potential failure even then there is no process to prevent it. They can come up with new processes, or ways to improve existing ones. They can also account for their actions, and managers can account for the activities of their team. All of this builds trust that the process can be improved in ways that can be well understood.

People are also scalable. You can implement controls like four-eyes on changes and critical metrics, so you're less exposed to one person's idiosyncrasies. It's hard to do that with AI.
Unpopular opinion: AI will start being useful to business when it will start being used to re-organize and re-architect core business processes... Not as part of existing business processes, the "augmentation" will never offer too much!

It will be when AI systems will decide who to hire and who to fire and who to promote and demote, or what other companies to acquire or to merge with - profit will be increased, and almost everyone will hate it!

It will be when huge fusioned megacorps AI systems will gain monopolies and replace free markets with centralized planning systems that will actually outperform markets ("socialist planning" can't work because it can't work with humans ...bringing in "other" types of intelligences will change the game, and nobody will call it "socialism" bc it will not even try to benefit the people this time around - and there will be markets still, just likely HFT-style ones that will block direct human actors from playing in them) ...and most will hate it and likely wage war against the societies that will embrace it this way!

You'll see AI stops being useless to business, don't worry ...but it will come with many consequences and side effects, our society as it is can't handle it!

Well, there's this thing called the 50 mao party, due to them being paid 50 mao cents for each propaganda comment they post on behalf of the CCP.

So wikipeda is moving out of the age of "how will we get anyone to show up?" into "to get even more people to show up, how do we force better customer service skills?"

I don't get why projects think a top-down straighten-up-and-fly-right edict is how you retain driveby contributors (I get why they do it, I don't get why they make that the primary/only change). That's a highly visible but overall small part of the barrier to entry. Online volunteer collaboration projects often assume anyone motivated to participate will self-train. Making the surface level language nicer only keeps people reading long enough to find out that they've walked into a busy office full of people working with tasks, process and goals they don't understand. Lots of the day-to-day in an office puts efficiency above approachability, and I don't think that's always wrong.

Surely WMF would have better results if they actually worked on the barrier to entry by explicitly adding to staffing(/recruiting volunteers) to onboard new editors. e.g. shepherd their work through onboarding-focused helpers until the newbie is ready to drop into the office proper. Use the failures of conversion to identify where there was a lack of handholding (and build a system for that), vs a lack of interest.

My personal theory is that they made such a bad naming decision on their first service that they just committed to it and doubled down from there on.
You're not wrong but to imply that Boch fuel injection was successful would be to wear some really rose colored glasses. Boch fuel injection was such a small improvement over contemporary cabruerators and such a downgrade in terms of maintenance and cost of ownership that it was more or less universally reviled by everyone who was not into technology for technology's sake. It never really achieved widespread use. If you wanted a glass half full perspective you could say it gave 1st generation throttle body based injector systems a low bar to exceed. Bosch mechanical fuel injection is almost a perfect example of an implementation of a technology not ready for mass market adoption that later became ready for mass market with the advent of new technology (cheap digital electronics in this case).
This is one of the key points in Melanie Mitchell's book "Artificial Intelligence – A Guide for Thinking Humans". In the process of showing this, she gives really good explanations of how current AI/ML systems work. Really worth a read in my opinion.

There's several arguments to be made in favor of fewer restrictions. This article makes the worst ones...

- The projections were wrong

- The fatality rate is lower than feared

- Other diseases kill people too

- This isn't as bad as the Spanish Flu

- Lockdowns can harm people too

The only good argument I've heard against lockdowns is that we have mounting evidence that less onerous restrictions are sufficient to keep the transmission rate low. This article doesn't touch on that at all.

An engines go back to at least the 1600’s with precursors all the way back into the first century AD. Except cars are really their own thing with their individual needs.

Electric cars are vastly more than just a battery and electric motor. Regenerative breaking, power distribution, heat management, possibly a simple transmission etc etc. The amount of innovation in this space dwarfs what’s happening in the IC space because the problems are so new.
The problem as we've seen is that giving unlimited freedom of speech on these social platforms results in very bad things as state actors use it to incite social unrest. Of course, in protecting Europe and America's ability to remain safe democracies you also end up protecting China's ability to be a dictatorship. Keep in mind that western governments generally support China so you'd have a private company go against the government policies of the nation it is based in.

I switched from WSL2 back to WSL1 because the git action times on the NTFS shared drive were _minutes_ long in WSL2.

I didn't use WSL2 for too long and so I wonder: are processes in WSL2 manageable by Task Manager and Windows Defender as in WSL1? That integration with Windows tooling made WSL1 killer for deploying tools to non-programmers; give them a powershell script and they can run the app and manage it in a familiar way.
Haha. History of technology is littered with anecdotes like this.

Almost all big tech companies have huge graveyards of acquired software companies, some for the products, some for tech, some for people.

The targets are acquired, in-digested and slowly die. What is left is a lot of millionaires / billionaires who move on to other big things, a lot of half-baked tech / feature stuff, a lot of wasted potential.
