Since LTO hasn't existed for 50 years the key proposition can't be tested. the grandfathering clause is only incidental because an older drive, assuming you could cable the SCSI up correctly would work.

(I recently tried to get a Sun U10's DAT 9mm working, sourcing the SCSI cables was a nightmare. And then, the drive refused to rotate under UNIX mt <subcmd> patterns, ejected the tape unread.)

To be less flippant, most 50y claims are tested by doing more intense service life e.g. high heat, many rewind re-read cycles, to simulate mechanical/thermal ageing. You cannot really test print-through from just "sitting there" except by sitting something unread on a shelf for 50 years.
I'm not sure what retardation has anything to do with this. If you mean you might be extra ignorant, that's something else. Consider speaking more clearly and abandoning the awkward slang.

There's a common trend of mixing up the fatality percentage and the odds of dying to this. You seem to be falling into that confusion. A mortality rate of 2.3% doesnt mean you have a 2.3% chance of dying to it. If you're elderly and/or have a preexisting respiratory condition, then you have a much higher likelihood of something going very wrong. The younger and healthier you are, the lower the likelihood is that your health will be severely impacted.

That's why young healthy people such as myself (25, regular exercise, no preexisting conditions) need to be more worried about other people. It isn't about my health, it's about theirs.

I started using vi in 1986, switched to vim and (mainly) emacs in the 90s. My setup now is emacs for local editing, vim for sudo vi system.config.files and when I ssh to a server.

Actually vim had a larger share of users back then because there were not many other editors for UNIX and Linux. There are probably more vim users now but even on Linux I see many more people using VS Code. The problem they have is editing files when they ssh into a server. I usually suggest nano. Not many of them notice and understand the two lines menu at the bottom of the screen.
IIUC Facebook Messenger is their own bespoke protocol on top of MQTT now. It seems even the web client speaks MQTT these days.
I feel like this is really unhelpful nitpicking on the definition of dataset bias. In your example the dataset you want is the one of drug dealers so the dataset from the convictions IS biased and uncomplete.
The US government could find the money to be fully prepared for pandemic diseases in its couch cushions. The problem is not a lack of resources but rather a lack of operational capability to observe, orient, decide and act.

Because for many cases it is not clear. The resources needed to understand are not there, they need to allocate them to save the living.

This situation is extremely complex and we simply don’t have the tools and resources to deal with it effectively.
It kind of has already -- Twitch, etc -- but whatever it evolves into online seems unlikely to support expensive and lavishly budgeted spectacles like Cirque.

I feel certain live performances and sports with physically-present audiences will return, as that experience seems to fill some kind of deep-seated human need. (One I certainly share)

But I increasingly fear that COVID-19 represents something like an asteroid-versus-dinosaurs event where, even though life continued, it looked drastically different. Perhaps it will be a good thing in the long run, but much will be lost.
>The killer feature of vim that I feel like very few people know about is it's remote editor feature.

Now this is dope, I used to rely on a trick I discovered in a conference[0], append to the `path` variable in your .vimrc so you can recursively fuzzy find files in the directory where you opened Vim, and more recently setting global marks[1] in the files of interest.

It’s a documented phenomenon in UX that if an activity involves a quantity of small pauses in a short enough time span, that the user perceives them as a single, long pause.

If your app is fast but your workflows are terrible, people will call you slow because everything takes four interactions. If you have a bad workflow and a slow-ish app, people will talk about you on the Internet.
Of course we should be careful. But we should also keep in mind what the baseline is. The baseline is subjective evaluations by other humans. If we don't build models, it's not like we're going to live in a world where nobody's subjective personality traits are evaluated. They still will be. They'll just be evaluated by other humans in an opaque, un-monitorable way. Using models at least makes it transparent, and something that we can iterate on to remove bias. There are no effective ways i'm aware of to de-bias humans.
that works for a profot seeking institution, but preparing for existential risks doesn't have a disadvantage in national security. it's the profit motive that is short sighted, and you've accidentally mistaken "any group" for "any group organized for the purpose of making profit."

Sure. But you also need to account for the actual baseline you're comparing to. Whatever process it might be that's taking someone's IQ as an input is right now being handled in some subjective manner by other humans. Do you think their error rate is zero? These things don't need to be perfect to be good. They just need to be better than what we're doing now. And as per all the recent unrest, it turns out that what we're doing now isn't all that great.
Listen to audio books in bed when you're going to sleep. Get an Audible subscription. Listen to Treasure Island or Of Mice and Men. It doesn't matter of you're really listening to the story. Just listen to it while you're falling asleep.

There is not a language as batteries-included as Go, that I've found. The standard lib includes almost everything, including an excellent HTTP server and client (even an HTTP proxy), a test framework, JSON/XML/CSV libs, SQL driver, CLI parser, a template library, crypto, etc. The "go" command includes tooling like a package manager, unit test runner, code formatter, static analyzer, race condition checker, code coverage, profiler, cross-compiler, etc.

I don't know what you mean by "memory-management-free" though, Go is still a garbage collected language.

Source for a claim that selling ads is extremely unstable. Check alphabet or Facebook earning reports from last 10 years.

> I don't know if YouTube operates at a profit or not, but that's not really relevant.

How is operating at profit not relevant in a context of a business model? Especially when suggested business models of companies that lose money, like patreon, as a something that YouTube should be doing.

We’re so deep in the bubble now. Real business models and profits are irrelevant as long as they seem cool.
Probably because Shen Yun is the propaganda arm of Falun Gong. That doesn't make the show any less cool, though.

The Four Myths of Bundling
Austrian law has a Gleichbehandlungsgesetz. It forbids negative discrimination because of

- gender,

- age,

- ethnicity,

- world view or religion,

- sexual preference, or

- impairments.

This law applies in most legal matters, including hiring. Some classes, like the physically impaired, have their own laws.

This is not a factual statement. America is skewing younger with more complications than Europe.

While it is always a good idea to think about others, the young aren't as immune to this as they think they are.

Or, as I crudely put it to one youngster: You use condoms, right? Well, Covid statistically is more dangerous and more contagious than anything a condom protects against. Wear a mask, wash your hands, and keep your distance.

Fundamentally bitcoin (and most other cryptos) are trying to fill two mutually exclusive goals. On one hand, they’re supposed to be the currency of the future; on the other you’re supposed to invest or trade in them like a speculative instrument to grow your net worth (hodl, mooning, lambos, etc.)

The issue is that these two can’t be filled by the same instrument effectively. Currencies need to be stable and predictable, nobody wants to discover that their paycheck has suddenly halved in value. They can inflate, but they should do that in a slow and steady manner so wages can keep up. On the other hand you want some volatility in your speculative instruments, as without volatility there’s no real opportunity to earn a profit and grow your net worth.

If something tries to be both, the results are disappointing. Either there’s no enough volatility to make traders happy, or there’s enough volatility to expose laborers or payment processors (depending on use case) to purchasing power shocks or conversion rate risks.

Unfortunately, it’s my belief that bitcoin maintains a lot of its value by trying to continually bring in new suckers (sorry, investors) in order to keep demand high without significant use cases. This kind of continual recruitment process is both fascinating, and really ruins bitcoin for anyone who wanted to use it for non-speculative purposes.

> It doesn't really matter to possible victims of, say, the use of AI in law enforcement where exactly the problem originates.

I cannot believe that so many people fall for this. Journalists, laypeople, even HN users. (OK not that surprised regarding journalists.)

The problem is not racial bias in AI policing. The problem is AI policing! Racial (and any other) bias is trivial to remove - just subtract the mean! But that doesn’t make predictive policing a good idea.

Imagine this:

> Hello, mister/lady, our 100% unbiased system has automatically determined that you are a potential future criminal. You are under arrest and sentenced to death.

(Edit: and same could be said for almost any situation where you have a bureaucrat making decisions about people’s lives, and you try to automate this decision with AI.)

Here's a video of some more advanced vim features I threw together. I'd be surprised if you can do this using e.g. vanilla vscode

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UDGG3hK4Bg8

Its a simplified version of a problem from work a while ago where we had to generate ui from lots of csv files. The last dev on it was taking weeks, but with vim I was able to come in and finish the boilerplate instantly. (We were commited to non-dynamic ui at that point, I think I made the right play especially with how we ended up using it).

Vim is, in my opinion, inferior to an ide or a good text editor, but if you have it as a plugin you get the best of both worlds and vim suddenly can do... basically anything you can think of. Like here's putting a breakpoint on every line in a file

https://imgur.com/SFhlEr7

The best part of vim in an ide is when you're pair programming and you do something fancy, and your friend says "Wait, go back, howd you do that??"
In most countries, if you die having COVID, and you cant exclude COVID as being the cause, you are included in the COVID death count. In russia, if you die having COVID, but yoy also have any other sickness that could be the cause of death, you are not included in the COVID death count.

While the former overestimates, the latter underestimates. I dont have any reference to prove it, but my gut feeling tells me that the latter is probably even further away from the true number than the former. In any case, they are absolutely not comparable.
Asking someone to spend $400+ just to upgrade equipment in order to support a service that doesn’t work well on the original equipment you sold them, takes some guts.
If one wants to do web dev on vim I strongly recommend neovim setup with coc.nvim. I know some people strongly disagree with transforming vim into and IDE, but this is a really productive setup for creating code (works like a charm for my current React project)

Personally I’ll sometimes use VSCode to browse big files or explore the codebase, but when it comes to editing them neovim with coc, fzf and a language pack is all you need.
okay, so... you seem to understand where the other researcher is coming from and agree with most points. i am also going to assume that you read, or perhaps know, some of the sources cited numerous times on this page.

but because she did not explicitly state those on twitter, or because of the way she brought it up, we need to invalidate her whole argument?

i mean... how odd!

Ahaha yes. I once run hackintosh in a VM, just to draw diagrams for an important homework.
I can pretty much visualize things as if they were in a 3D modeling system (there may be a reason why I work in mechanical product design). I can take some object and imagine it flipped around to another orientation or imagine how a complex mechanism will operate. I'm so adept at doing this that I very rarely actually draw things out before I start doing CAD work.

I would say my ideation process starts with a vague view of what I am trying to accomplish, and then gradually becomes clear. I'll have a general concept and can picture the end result, but without understanding how it is accomplished at first, which gradually becomes clearer as I think about it. I generally know I've got something when it "feels right".

My main artistic hobby is photography. One of the things I most enjoy doing is going out without a specific shot in mind and trying to "find" a photo by deliberately experiencing my surroundings. It is almost have an aversion to have a shot in mind before I go out to take it because it invariably doesn't live up to the visual I have in my head.
Game Development Tools: Easy 3D Sculpting and AI Based PBR Texture Generator
Hi, I hereby am sharing my game development tool for 3D sculpting and texture generation.
Texture Generation: It uses small patch of image to generate novel/original hd texture (tiled and non-tiled). You can superscale it beyond 4K and comes with lots of free tetxure to begin with.

S 3D sculpting: Its beginner friendly, comes with auto-mesh optimization tool, lots of alphas for detailing 3d models and kitbash models for readily sculpting weapons, characters, vehicles etc.

Maybe it’s versus I’ve been reading up on the torture of solitary confinement, but “Leading 18 strangers around the clock for a full year” - is not what I would consider as isolation.

She does go on to qualify it further: “As the youngest and only second female expedition leader at Davis Station”, but it still feels like a huge stretch in my opinion to consider that a year of isolation. How many leaders has Davis Station even had?
If it’s late afternoon and I’ve finished or am about to start a particularly challenging task, I’ll tend to take on other tasks like basic research or wiki maintenance.

Essentially I treat the wiki like a B-Tree. When the landing page gets crowded, I move a bunch of related things down one level in the hierarchy, trying to retain keystone ideas within the first to levels (and letting related concepts be discoverable from those).

Over time the oldest links and links of only temporary utility get pushed out to the leaf nodes, where you aren’t likely to encounter them accidentally.

Really, though, we should be applying the same sort of version control we have in our source code. You should be able to track down how old a paragraph is in the wiki.

That and a lot of these venues had razor thin margins during the best of times; at half capacity they can’t survive. And that’s not even including the fact that discretionary spending will remain low until people feel financially secure, which might happen long after the pandemic is solved. Those who lost out on work will have credit holes to dig back out of once this is over.

Here in LA this is killing off some standup clubs. I’ve speculated that it’ll decimate a whole generation of up and coming comics; if you’re a club that’s struggling and needs to sell half the seats at a higher price per, you’re going to reach for tried and true artists and not anyone slightly risky.
Every language scales well if the code is well-designed, almost by definition. The more salient question is how well large codebases written by mediocre programmers can be maintained by other mediocre programmers, because that's what any long-lived codebase will have to deal with.
This all may be true but there’s an issue when the model produces blue eyes when presented with a blurred African American face. I think much of the controversy would be diffused had the authors addressed this directly and used it as a way to discuss how bias sneaks into our models of the world.

Philosophically I find ML’s tendency to reflect the biases we bring to it very revealing. In some ways it shows us what we’ve built, the underlying biases that we’d rather argue about and ignore. When an algorithm selects longer sentences for black men than white men, we rightly see that as racism. Some say, “use better data, we’ll then be objective!” But I wonder if a better initial reaction is, “wow, look how badly out system has failed that it would produce such a bad dataset.” Never mind that maybe it’s not actually possible to be objective and that’s the point. Math doesn’t lie, maybe when we make a racist model we’re failing to see the mirror it’s holding up for us.

In all seriousness, who here really thinks we will have mass deaths, upwards of 10% of the population of the earth in the next 10 year timeframe from global warming? What about 15 years? 20 years?

We recently implemented a simple streaming server based on Openresty and Redis. Redis is used as buffer. We load tested it up to 2000 mountpoints (128kbit mp3 streams) with 15.000 clients.

The architecture has some nice properties. For example the buffer being not in-process means (besides an obvious performance hit) that the streaming server can be seamlessly redeployed without loosing the buffer.

The Openresty Lua implementation is amazing.
The problem is that github is not just a place to host a git repository. It's also a bugtracker, release publisher, wiki etc. Microsoft is by no means held to use free software for those facilities. This means there is a good chance at eroding the use of free software which is counter to the FSF goals.
