Back in the day, my high school used OpenDNS to block all kinds of sites. Of course, setting 8.8.8.8 on your laptop got around that trivially. They also had separate WiFi networks for teachers and students, and because they didn’t pay for a fast enough connection, the student WiFi was always unusably slow whereas the teacher WiFi was less used and quite fast. They also didn’t use Radius or anything, just WPA personal, so the teachers all shared the same WiFi password. Since the student WiFi was unusable and the seniors needed to be able to work on their college applications, they were given the teacher WiFi password, and then they would share it with some of us in the lower grades and it would spread from there until the admin changed the password again.

There were also Ethernet jacks in the walls of each classroom by the teacher’s desk. I had a free period in a classroom where the teacher didn’t use the Ethernet, so I would plug in my laptop and torrent at high speed. High school sucked, but moments like that were satisfying.
But exactly that's the point. It can be handled transparently in a much easier way then the Ipv6 switch. (Because IPv6 is so much more different then just IPv4 + more addresses, and worse, many people don't realize it and treat it as IPv4 with more addresses which resulted in many problems).
> WoW's crafting system is pretty strongly inspired by UO's.

Early on in WoW development, I was one of 2 people in the company that played Ultima Online. And I was going to interview in depth about the way I played it. I guess my play style wasn't what they were looking for and they went in the direction of being combat focused like WarCraft.

But that discerning nature is what made the game (UO) what is was. It was very much an organic world. I had 4 different characters in UO across 2 shards and sometimes 3 or 4 shards. And each play experience was different.

I found one play style surprisingly effective. That being my thief character. Because noone leveled up their thieves. They mainly just stole scraps in mainland towns. Players were very cautions in these large places and called out "guards!" too often. And there was a lot of competition with low level thieves looking for quick wins. So I decided to level up my thief character with simple mage abilities & teleport to Occlo to see whats there. There I found a group of thieves and they welcomed me into their guild. And together we devised a plan to see if we could start stealing from all the mages that would congregate. Occlo was a mage hot spot because they would feel safe from thieves because it was an Island. We became a notorious thieving guild of 5 on the island. And called ourselves 5FD. We would literally surround one mage, basically lasso them into one corner of the super packed mage shop and steal their on-hand weapons as they packed their regents. And some mages would make deals with us, so they could shop safely without interference. etc.

Imagine having the ability to craft this kind of play style in any game today.

As an aside, I was reading one of your comments on one of my threads and realized you were the lead designer of UO. Really amazing to meet you here!
Yep, I caved and got an account last month too
Somewhat related: I had a job once where my manager unintentionally disclosed to me that several of my colleagues didn't like me (unclear whether for valid reasons or not). I quit almost immediately, which came as quite a surprise to him, and I believe he regretted.

At another job, I had a manager put a list of (fairly spurious) complaints on paper that went to HR. He seemed rather shocked when I gave notice.

If you want to be a good manager, you really have to put yourself in the other guy's shoes and think about how they're going to feel about what you're doing.
CalcMaker is an online form builder, with a focus around creating results real-time in browser, (think like a custom order form, mortgage calculators, etc..). Includes touch-enabled drag and drop interface. I was able to scratch an itch, while working with a client on a new idea.

Tech stack:

* Sapper/Svelte

* Tailwind

* Google/Firebase: Functions, Firestore, Auth

* Cloudflare: cdn, workers/kv

* Stripe: payments

The entire project (auth, database, payments) comes in normally under 200kb per page, even the heart of the application (the form editor) comes in @ 59kb. Nearly 100's across the board in Lighthouse.. Only a few accessibility issues with the homepage. I'm also experimenting with a mix of exporting sapper and using firebase functions for SSR. If no static file is found in Cloudflare, it falls back to the Firebase SSR / Sapper route.

Any questions or feedback let me know.

you lost me at "produce a better product". I don't think there are any parallels to that in this offering.
It's commendable to strive to improve. I agree that 95% of projects are a mess. I don't think there is value in writing good commit messages in those environments, even if it is easy. If you're going to spend 30 minutes writing a super awesome commit message, I'd rather you spend those 30 minutes on improving the code or the test suite or even writing the awesome commit message in the JIRA ticket.

If you've reached the point when the next "optimization" you can do is to work on your commit messages, that is awesome.
I read (among others) Tippelskirch's History of the WWII, and it's pretty objective. I don't think you can blame Germans for the anti-USSR propaganda, considering that it was the US, who was having their skin in the game (Cold War, started by corrupt politicians, bought by big business and financiers) after the war has ended.
Maybe. The challenge you run into for devising radically new theory is that the optimization problem being solved in this work takes place within a broad but still-constrained "theory space". Specifically, from my quick read of it it looks like they're inferring components of a PDE of the form u_t = ϕL, where ϕ is a large dictionary of possible functions of u and its spatial derivatives, and L is a sparse coefficient matrix. This form covers a really broad class of PDEs, but for example, whatever theory ends up unifying QM and gravity probably won't be a fancier PDE of this form that we haven't found yet.

https://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/8.0/en/mysql-real-escape-st...

Many of the PHP extensions are direct exposure to underlying libraries. MySQL introduced a 'real escape string' in their client library, PHP exposed that directly. Had they ignored it, or renamed it, or changed param order, people would have complained about that too, no?

> Any new user coming from reading an older blog post or perhaps a PHP book would have no idea that that "older approach" is out of date

You could mostly get that from going to the PHP doc site itself, which would indicate things that are deprecated. Or your IDE might tell you.

Or, for things that are really out of date, like mysql_real_escape_string, they simply ... aren't in the language any more, having been removed completely from PHP7 several years ago. If someone is starting brand new today using a blog post walking them through setting up PHP5... they'll have much bigger problems.

There's a shitload of 'tribal knowledge' around stuff in many languages - you find out a lot of that stuff via searching. If I read an 'older blog post' on Go from 2015, and complained that my Go didn't work very well (or was insecure, or whatever), how much blame should the language itself take?
The important parts are

* write a short title, starting with a verb
* include additional information from most important to least important

It just doesn't matter if you write "Adds" or "Add" or "Added", use capital or lower case letters, if you use full-stops, if you include tags (like BUGFIX or FEATURE) or issue numbers. Obviously, if you or your company decides to require anything specific, that's fine, but they are just details with respect to "good commit messages".

And extra info is not very useful if it isn't well-organized. In particular, a narrative is not suitable for technical writing.

> dismissing delivered practice with the quick an for shallowly-addressed claim that it only works in field with established pedagogy

This is the actual definition of deliberate practice. As in, Ericsson explicitly says deliberate practice CAN ONLY exist in domains with a long tradition of pedagogical development.

Go and read the original papers by Ericsson. Or the Cambridge Handbook of Expertise and Expert Performance. Or his popular science book Peak.

One of the nice things about writing a blog is that you get to bring an audience along on a journey of discovery. In this case, you don't actually have to go very far — the blog has done the work for you. This is a 5k word-ish summary of Peak: https://commoncog.com/blog/peak-book-summary/ ... and this is a 5k word summary of all the criticisms arrayed against deliberate practice, also linked from the piece above. https://commoncog.com/blog/the-problems-with-deliberate-prac...

If you want to read about NDM techniques — surprise, surprise! It turns out that the techniques are described in about 10k words over at https://commoncog.com/blog/putting-mental-models-to-practice... and https://commoncog.com/blog/putting-mental-models-to-practice...

And those posts are also linked from the piece.

(Edited to remove snark).
Our current data is incomplete. It's possible then that there's more than one model that fits it, and that our current model is wrong but still manages to fit the data that we have. If we train a naive learning system on the same data, it might find another model that also fits the data but is closer to the right model.

As a historical precedent consider Newtonian vs. Einsteinian mechanics. Newtonian mechanics works fine at familiar scales of time, space, force, power, mass, etc. Einsteinian mechanics also works fine at those scales. If that's all the data you have, they are equivalent theories. Yet Einsteinian mechanics also predicts things far beyond that scale correctly while Newtonian mechanics does not.
Yeah, it's pretty unethical. Looks like they just stole the name without any care. There doesn't seem to be any relationship between these guys and the original YOLO group.
Has anyone (beyond maybe self-driving software) tried using object tagging as a way to start introducing physics into a scene? E.g. human and bicycle have same motion vector, increases likelihood that human is riding bicycle. Bicycle and human have size and weight ranges that could be used to plot trajectory. Bicycles riding in a straight line and trees both provide some cues as to the gravity vector in the scene. Etc. etc.

Seems like the camera motion is probably already solved with optical flow/photogrammetry stuff, but you might be able to use that to help scale the scene and start filtering your tagging based on geometric likelihood.

The idea of hierarchical reference frames (outlined a bit by Jeff Hawkins here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-EVqrDlAqYo&t=3025 ) seems pretty compelling to me for contextualizing scenes to gain comprehension. Particularly if you build a graph from those reference frames and situate models tuned to the type of object at the root of each each frame (vertex). You could use that to help each model learn, too. So if a bike model projects a 'riding' edge towards the 'person' model, there wouldn't likely be much learning. e.g. [Person]-(rides)->[Bike] would have likely been encountered already.

However if the [Bike] projects the (rides) edge towards the [Capuchin] sitting in the seat, the [Capuchin] model might learn that capuchins can (ride) and furthermore they can (ride) a [Bike].
Even when Intel started recycling 14nm why would Apple actually care? Some of their computers have gone years without updates despite newer processors being available, it doesn't seem like an important feature of most of their computers.

In 2008 Apple bought PA Semi to design processors for iOS, make processors for Macs is likely something they've been working on since way before Intel was late on 10nm.
Since the estimates are almost always off, it's a perfect way for the managers to reward the people they like for political reasons, and punish the ones they don't.
The most frustrating thing about reading that book is when you encounter management that break all the advice in there, like manufacturing nonstop excuses whenever you bring a work problem to them 'well nobody told me about it...everybody had consensus this was what we were going to do so collectively we all share blame'. After reading you can no longer tolerate this leadership style whereas before I just accepted their answers assuming that's how it worked.
If there's no free will as you're positing, what logically follows is that we should not have a legal system. Why punish someone because they stole for example? It was all pre-determined. This is where this line of reasoning breaks apart quickly. Just because our minds can't rationalize the vast unknowns of the universe, doesn't mean that we should jump to simplistic conclusions based on our experiences.
Mobile uses a shared channel that needs to be used economically. With wired internet, everyone has their own line. Sure there can be upstream bottlenecks but widening them is cheap, it's the last mile that dominates cost.

So the wired ISP doesn't save too much money when you don't use your BW.
Was the power plant used in any long lived civilian applications? That could greatly help the parts situation. Still, for the airframe you're probably best off machining your own parts. You'll probably be able to make parts to tighter tolerances than the Soviet factories.

I've had arguments with friends on the topic who see this as stealing content without paying for it.
It absolutely shouldn't, but it _can_: https://www.php.net/manual/en/reflectionclass.getdoccomment..... Zend has/had support for parsing this value as well.

I distinctly remember writing a project in PHP that allowed users to create custom reports and flows based on values returned from the data models, and for whatever reason we decided to use PHPDoc tags to determine what routines would be exposed to the public for use in these tools. We of course eventually updated this to use DB definitions instead because it was an asinine idea to need to parse a bundle of models and other files every time you needed to pull in definitions.
I am not a cryptocurrency expert by any means. I’m barely literate in fact. Please entertain my uninformed question.

It is my understanding (misconception?) that cryptocurrencies don’t scale well. How would a cryptocurrency handle billions of micro transactions? How would such a system scale to the amount of content consumed?

Would there be many individual coins that are exchanged for a common one(s)? NYTCoin for BTC? Is there some method for handling transactions without the overhead?

Yes, hard determinism is very problematic, and this thread covers some of the reasons. I'm not sure every conception of moral realism is incompatible with hard determinism, but I haven't given it much thought as I don't see much redeeming value in hard determinism.

As a hard determinist, you'll have to re-invent concepts of pseudo-moral blame in order to justify rehabilitation for those who break the law rather than simply changing the law itself to accomodate rule breakers, at which point you've just reinvented free will and called it something else.

Moral error theory has problems of its own, so I don't think these all hang together very nicely.
It's one of a few reasons. Macs have worse thermal characteristics than they should; part of that is Apple's fault for making such thin computers with poor ventilation, but part of that is Intel's fault for making such shitty hot chips. Of course there are other matters that can't be laid on Intel, like the keyboard fiasco, but that's beyond the point I think.
Be nice if they could shift some of the CPU core towards https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asynchronous_circuit design and that way be able to run those parts at a variable clock rate instead of one part for this frequency and another for a slightly lesser frequency.

For power efficiency for dynamic loads, an asynchronous circuit design would win over current solutions. However designing asynchronous circuits is a magnitude more complex than a synchronous one.

But for parts like AVX, extensions that will only be available upon the main core, that would yield dividends and with that. However, may find they offer such extensions as a separate chiplet/stack and negate the issue of does this core support it as they all could tap into that.

What i'd find interesting would be the actual design and instruction set under the hood, the x86 gets translated via microcode and do wonder how much of the underlying way things work has diverged from that original instruction set.
I had 180W for my old HP laptop, and recently ~135W (or 170W) for Thinkpad W541.

<100W adapters were mostly for potato laptops, until USB-C came into picture which supported up to 100W and now manfucaturers adapted (and probably wait for 200W PD).

I didn't see anything about the robots.txt approach, but this support page discusses the meta tag method.

https://support.google.com/webmasters/answer/6229325?hl=en
At the moment, the only experiments with enough data to be useful are e621-portraits (5,407 tags https://www.tagpls.com/exp?n=e621-portraits) and danbooru-e (344 tags https://www.tagpls.com/exp?n=danbooru2019-e) both of which are NSFW.

Those are also drawings/anime, not photos. We have an /r/pics experiment (SFW, 99 tags https://www.tagpls.com/exp?n=r-pics) and /r/gonewild (NSFW, 57 tags https://www.tagpls.com/exp?n=r-gonewild) but currently I haven't gathered enough urls to be very useful -- it only scrapes about 100 or so images every half hour. So there is a lack of tags right now on human photos. We also have a pps experiment (NSFW, exactly what you think it is, 306 tags https://www.tagpls.com/exp?n=pps) but I assume that's not quite what you were looking for.

If you have an idea for a dataset, you can create a list of image URLs like https://battle.shawwn.com/r/pics.txt and we can add them to the site. You can request an addition by joining our ML discord (https://discordapp.com/invite/x52Xz3y) and posting in the #tagging channel.

Also, if anyone's curious, here's how I'm measuring the tag count:

But I have a bunch of devices connecting to wifi, which seems to work waaay better integrated with the unifi line of products. I'm probably going to swap it out one of these days, and I can make due with running the controller on a 24/7 box to smooth it out a bit, but I'd totally go unifi down the line if I had to do over.

Serious question: is there a way to get ublock (or similar) on a iPhone?
I can say that I fix quite a few bugs that people with your sentiment give up on.

There are a lot of things in software that need to be possible, but you don't need (or want) the entire team doing it all the time. A team made entirely of 'people like me' would be a disaster. But a team without anyone like me will die a slow and lingering death and not even know why.

It's important when thinking of group behavior - be it work or personal - to differentiate between "I don't need this." and "nobody should have this."
> most people are overweight, so health is unimportant

I would say, yes, health is unimportant to the average person because of their actions. I don't think that's good or fair, but it is the current state of the world.

If you want to continue the analogy: my argument is akin to telling someone trying to lose weight to research the most bioavailable supplements -- despite the fact they still eat a Snickers bar every afternoon. It's a micro-optimization that has been elevated to "table-stakes".
