Well you can edit the markdown in the regular jupyter browser. They haven't embraced plaintext in quite the same way emacs did though (so for some niceties you do need to use a browser, similar to how you need to use the emacs-gui to embed images).

Coincidentally I haven't really managed to get the equation rendering right in emacs, the org-latex-preview seems quite slow. It's unfortunate that emacs isn't able to take advantage of things like KaTeX, there are historical reasons for this but still.

Mixing languages seems to be possible [1], though I haven't personally used it.

All the authors are part of OpenAI, and the very first sentence talks about computer vision and a parallel with real neurons. So "This isn't immediately clear" should be read as "I only read the title and didn't even try to understand what the article is about".
Maybe in an absolute material sense they are not worse off now. But most certainly the opportunity to advance and achieve relative changes in class and wealth are not as positive as they once were in the US.

Baby boomer growth mode was when the needs and growth of post-war America meant that many, many people could have well-paying middle class jobs that were a source of great economic mobility and improvement across the USA. It was also an era with far less income inequality than now. When your grandparents talk about needing to show initiative and go out there and find opportunity, remind them that they grew up in an era where pretty much anyone with a heartbeat could earn enough at a medium skilled job to buy a home by age 40.

Not so much now.
I do find a racial bias in the photos used to showcase the work though: not a single black person in there, not even in the famous ones.
I fear it might be even worse than that. But first let me clarify: I'm not against people using technology to augment their natural capabilities. On the contrary.

However, I see a big risk in how this could cause a trend of less qualified (cheaper) lifeguards, hired by people who might feel more pressure regarding budgets than actual safety (probably lands mostly on the "lifeguards" neck anyways).

Considering how everything these days is run with a (often bad) cost/benefit analysis, I'm everything but positive about the "unforeseen" side effects of AI in this field.

As difficult as it is to spot a single drowning person in a sea of people (no pun intended), it might in fact be partly the feeling of sole responsibility that keeps (good) lifeguards as alert as they often are. I'm not so sure that AI will have a positive sum effect on that.
because platforms need development tools for developers.

browsers has "developer tools" and android has "developer tools and adb".

standart users doesn't use adb or development tools but they still inside an android system. sometimes seperate builds for user and developer is not nice solution.
Can't they just ask the user to open the app and send them some identifying number they can find in the ui?
Forget the economy. The damage to social infrastructure and trust is far more serious.

> A couple thousand bucks for a few percent increased chance of survival is well below the benchmark set by drugs in less public disease areas.

That indeed is the sad state of affairs. Plus, a significant amount of these more obscure drugs may simply be the result of (intentional or unintentional) P-hacking.
> Of that, probably the formal estimation methods (replaced in Scrum by intuition for some reason) are the biggest loss.

Curious about that point because for many engineering tasks the variance in the estimates is so big that I wonder whether any formal way of estimation actually works. I did some analyses on the correlation between estimate and actual development time in a project I worked in and the correlation wasn't really there. Sure, there was a difference for the very large work items and the very small one but overall the estimates were fairly useless, especially when it came to anything that touched operations. I just googled formal methods for estimation in order to see what you might mean by that and nothing appeared to be something I'd assume to be more powerful (a priori) due to my lack of confidence in workload estimation overall.

Note, btw. that the Scrum Guide doesn't make any mention of estimation at all, neither prescribes it nor disallows it, just says that the team should plan a sprint (roughly speaking). Even the typical "story point estimation" stuff that people think is attached with Scrum, its more of an XP practice that has been carried over.

Personally I think that Scrum took a weird turn in its lifetime with Sprints becoming shorter and shorter to the point where there can be no meaningful work (with customer benefit / demoable in the sprint review) be completed within a Scrum. Maybe its possible to ship a couple of CRUD-website-features within 2 weeks, but for the B2B software I am working on a feature is too complex for 2 week cycles. And if your tasks are small enough to fit into two week cycles, why aren't you doing Kanban?
How to get coaching, mentoring, and attention
India also recently introduced RUPAY which is an alternative to VISA/MasterCard duopoly. Don't know about the success and usage of that though.
I don't follow F1 very closely these days, but I think I've read that they recently changed, are will change in the near future, to lower profile tires. Is that right? And that the teams have made, or will made, the suspension softer because low-profile tires contribute less?
Some banks let you automate Zelle, too. Citibank doesn't but Chase does.
This is a thread about dexamethasone, not "strokes", and we also know that from 8 patients that are intubated the treatment with dexamethasone saves one, compared to those intubated never treated with dexamethasone. We also know that dexamethasone is at best not helping if given outside of ICU.

Once again, dexamethasone has to be given to 8 intubated people to save one, and that's considered the drug with the most visible effect in fighting Covid-19 up to now -- i.e. the most successful drug up to now! You can imagine how little effect other drugs produced in the verified trials.

In that context, talking about ICU and intubated is exactly on topic, hand-waving "strokes" isn't.

Moreover, the comment actually said "strokes / organ damage" not "strokes." Nevertheless, the main effect of dexamethasone is on the intubated patients.

When I was in Ireland studying my mentor told me a similar story. An old electric engineer was just tinkering his circuit board with his oscilloscope, he's so familiar with signals he can diagnose based on analogue information. My mentor also tried to explain to me (a computing student) what control theory is about. He said if you can send an impulse signal to a system and can tweak with that input, you basically got yourself a system in control theory (might be too naive a version but that's what my memory serves me).

It was not that Facebook allowed the user to deselect the e-mail address from what would be shared. Rather, it allowed them to randomly generate an e-mail address to share with the other party. I think messages sent to this address were forwarded to the user's Facebook inbox.

Also, India came up with RUPAY which is a great answer to VISA/MasterCard monopoly. But somehow it didn't catch up in usage I think.

There might be a path dependency there. Switzerland was never an EU member, and negotiated to join a number of EU institutions as a special case. It's not clear that the EU was even prepared to offer a similar deal to a departing member.

Furthermore, the EU has become less and less enthusiastic about these kinds of arrangements, so even Switzerland is finding it harder to join individual deals.

> Why are we being asked how long it will take to do work in sections of code we have never seen?

It is common enough for those packs of estimation cards to include one with a question mark on it, to denote the "I can't estimate this sight unseen" scenario. The reason it's common is because often people are presented with stuff that isn't well-understood enough, and it's a very good idea not to pull a number out of one's rear in those situations. Don't be afraid to use that card (or do the equivalent and just say so).

If you are afraid because you will be marked as 'not a team player' or whatever, you have management culture problems that neither Scrum nor any other imaginable software development process will fix on its own. They will all end up feeding an idiotic garbage in/garbage out cycle of overpromising, crunch, burnout and general misery, with the superficial appearance of whatever process it was supposed to be.
>Russia and China aspire to nothing. Even if we fail them most of the time, at least the US has ideals.

I've been assuming that public buses would be able to detect how many passengers might be on board by detecting the weight changes from an internal sensor of the tire pressures. Count the jumps up and jumps down in weight as people step on and step off, etc.

Honestly, I'd probably fail it because I wouldn't believe they'd ask me something so trivial.

I'd question the heck out of it looking for tricks. Then I'd probably think "no they want something complicated. It can't be that"

I'd probably totally fail it. I've been writing code every day for over 25 years but if you asked me that in an interview, I'd totally completely utterly fuck it up.

I'd walk out and the interviewer would think me profoundly incompetent. Then I'd go home and have a terrible day thinking "wtf was that? All he wanted was that. You could write that when you were 7 on an apple 2, wtf were you doing?"

So now I'm just enjoying my time contributing to open source. Whatever.

This is a consequence of Brexit and the election of Trump, democratic decisions that caught many people in power by surprise. Sophisticated use of social media platforms turned out to have a significant influence on public opinion.

Agreed. I used to back up onto DVDs, creating a set of (say) 12 DVDs with an extra couple generated by par2, to take care of the case where some of the DVDs just straight aren't readable.

However, I found that I had a lot of data to back up, and it was actually cheaper and less tedious to get 4TB USB hard drives for ~£100 each, and plug them into an old defunct EeePC901 (with the added advantage that if the power goes out it has a battery).

My main PC has an SSH private key that lets it access a restricted shell on the EeePC that only allows it to give it files to store. That way, if a hacker breaks into my internet-facing machine, all they can do to my backups is fill the disc up, not delete or access anything. I have a process on the EeePC that regularly scrubs the par2 files, and the hard drives (I have two so far) are formatted with BTRFS, so given all the data is regularly read by the scrub process, that should notice any drive failures. My main PC uses ZFS, so I have safety in variety.

I also have an off-site backup stored on an encrypted USB hard drive in my locked locker at work, which isn't updated as regularly. My internet connection is slow, so I use the rsync --only-write-batch trick, and then carry the large update file to the backup on my laptop.

Fun Facts in Ruby #7
SCRUM highlights project management problems. If everything works its only overflow is a two hours boring retrospective. Morning meetings is 5 minutes maximum (status ok), estimation - about an hour. Last sprint day is a lazy day - no new tasks allowed, refactor what you can, make presentations etc.

Never heard of successful one week sprints, two weeks looks optimal. Sprint purpose is to show there is no hidden debt ("almost done, oh, no, three weeks more"). Roll out is a bonus.

Failed sprint should be an exception. It as marker, to resolve it you have to resolve real issues:

* team got to much points to implement properly

* no need to fight on story points, ±1 should not matter much

* you can't have two week story, commit something
That's exactly what I'm thinking! Further I can't find the EULA of the app on the internet - maybe I'll find it later. But I could bet that they sell the data for marketing purposes. And I could also bet that they removed Facebook not because they don't want to use it but because they had to implement Sign in with Apple which would result in the Data being not so valuable because the standard option is to obfuscate the mail address.
Attempting to spread the blame like that is frankly a ridiculous stunt to try to pull - the Tory MPs weren't party to the execrable backroom shenanigans that we are now all very well aware went on.

What do you mean by algebraic types? If you mean algebraic number then yes, it is true that rationals cannot express all algebraic numbers such as the square root of prime numbers. But neither can floats! In fact, floats are limited to either 2^32 or 2^64 numbers (give or take a few) but rationals can express as many numbers as you have bits of memory in your system. I.e the number of numbers rationals can express is in practice infinite.

Neither does floats support transcendental functions. Those functions are implemented using Taylor series approximation and the same technique could be used for implementing rational transcendental functions. To boot, you'd get much higher precision.

Yes, rationals with arbitrary precision are more expensive to compute with than precision-limited floats. But who cares? It is not the 80s anymore.

"Nope. You can't just issue money,"

All business credit is issuing money, and as the contra shows you can easily settle debts with it.

"Paying taxes using Bitcoin is mostly easier than using cash"

Where do those services get the state money from? The service are providing the exchange for you. That's not paying taxes in Bitcoin. That is paying an exchange service to pay your liability in dollars for you. Exchanging a liability isn't extinguishing it.

The Treasury account at the Fed doesn't accept Bitcoin. At that's ultimately the bit you've missed. Follow the transactions through transitively and see if you can eliminate state money from the process completely. You won't be able to.
