I guess you're trying to be pedantic, but that's never useful when talking about humans, especially human language. And even if we tried to remove the human element, the transliteration is clearly not the same or even an accurate reflection; if it were, then transliterating to Japanese and back would get you the same word and this wouldn’t even be a problem.

The key factor you seem to be missing is that most of these words are themselves very lossy transliterations of original English words. Some become so ingrained in Japanese that they’re considered Japanese words by most people, and would make sense to leave in their lossy, katakana form even if romanized. As many people have mentioned here, “katsu” is ironically one of those words.

However, words like katsu are the exception and most are still considered English (or other language) words with the katakana being a best-effort representation in Japanese. The links shared by Zarel[0] and numpad0[1] demonstrate this perfectly.

The “original” word being expressed is “home” and “ホーム” is just the best you can do in an official Japanese script. “Ho-mu” isn’t useful for anyone, foreign or Japanese. It’s meaningless to non-Japanese speakers who aren’t familiar with the lossy transliteration to Japanese they need mentally reverse it. Japanese speakers could work it out quickly enough, but it would take more time and confusion since it’s neither representation they’re familiar with everyday, the original word “home” and the expected Japanese representation “ホーム.”

>That's not teaching a computer to walk, that's building a walking machine.

I think that's redefining teaching so that teaching, whatever it is, includes a subjective human 'ghost' inside of it.

But Dreyfus wasn't just saying that machines can do those things, only without a soul. Dreyfus was arguing that things such as walking are clever and subtle in ways that depend on tacit knowledge to execute successfully, and things that depend on it simply aren't even achievable by machines at all, because the nature of those tasks is such that they require a special magical soul. Being able to do the task at all, with or without a special magical soul, stands as a counterpoint to the argument Dreyfus had been making for half of the 20th century.
I think getting rid of 'winner takes all' elections and replacing it with an "order of preference ranking" system might help. This way people would be less concerned about picking the guy who is "least undesirable to fellow voters" and more concerned about picking their actual preference.
I'm not sure why you've changed the subject from "an electorate of just 110 people casually acquainted with each other" in the Australian local example I addressed in my OP to UK electoral wards which are 200-1000x the size, and obviously far beyond the scope of people being acquainted with everyone eligible to vote. I believe that's the reason the Electoral Commission doesn't collect results at polling station level and distribute that data despite the theoretical capability to do so.

And no, I don't think witch hunts are as likely to take place if people aren't informed of the presence of a witch.
Downvotes!? Really!?
There were marches for George Floyd.

Looting was really just about ... looting.

I don’t think it’s appropriate or fair to say “Floyd riots”, though I’ve said that too at points.

Feel free to disagree.
I don't understand this. I'd prefer to give children the same things that I enjoyed as a child. (E.g. meccano, technic Lego). But the problem is that these companies "modernize" their offerings to such extent that I don't like them anymore.

Also most of the good Lego sets are either cars or airplanes. This gets a little boring after giving these sets for a few years in a row. Lots of good sets become retired, which is a pity.

I think I will be moving away from Lego for my next gifts because there is only very limited choice left in the $50 price range.

Good points.

It's interesting that despite this keywords are serialized all the time in Clojure land (eg in the transit format that is commonly used for frontend/backend communication).
The problem with allowing the government to control funds, is that the government is truly terrible at handling money.
I had the same mindset initially. The CAA in itself is benign. Simply reading the Act will not give you the perspective on how it is going to be implemented. The statements given by the Home Minister of India - who is also a senior member of the ruling party - will give you a better idea of the situation. The backlash due to the passing of the CAB led the Prime Minister to make multiple statements that directly contradict ones made by the Home Minister just a few months before[1]. This, along with the general attitude of senior party ministers[2] is leading the people to be (IMO rightly) concerned about the motives of the government.

The rumoured Threadripper Pro 3995WC (64c/128t but with 8-channel memory support) might solve that problem.
The chaos we see today is a reaction between our First-Past-The-Post voting system and high engagement social media.

It's like mixing vinegar and baking soda.

The voting system encourages extremist candidates, and the social media platforms engage the least nuanced voters to primary (something that they never did before).

The main stream media follows ratings and legitimizes these extremist views.

The ultimate outcome is a political discourse that is gradually promoting zero-tolerance, zero-discourse, and a slow march to the normalization of political violence.

I'm not sure people recognize the danger escalating polarization is causing. The mere mention of it as a systemic issue is usually met with a "both sides" dismissal, which is very discouraging.

We need to reformat social media and/or change the voting system, or there will be violence. The purpose of democracy is to obviate political violence by forcing different views to the table to discuss and compromise. Social media is silences those who even suggest that path - making violence inevitable.

Compromise has become the eighth deadly sin.
I love the aura ring. AFAIK it is clearly the best non-intrusive sleep tracker and I would recommend it to anyone for sleep tracking. But in my experience the activity tracking is horrible because the ring achieves low power consumption by being off most of the time. I would suggest using a different device for daytime activity tracking.
You don't have to aim the light at the filter.
In deep learning, preprocessing can be pretty heavy, and then you find yourself CPU-bounded and not making full use of your 4x2080 Ti.

Cool stuff, thanks for the info! I'll watch the videos when I'm no longer on a metered connection. I've always found the physics and technology behind radio fascinating but was never really clear what sort of activities amateur radio operators actually do.
Absolutely true. I'm not sure what you're implying though, none of that contradicts what I've said in any way.
The answer is simple: don't use AWS. You will never get out of this hole unless you move from AWS, because AWS is not scalable budget-wise.
This doesn’t prove that PhD is needed. This just proves that people prefer to get paid.
PhD is not strictly necessary, but the process and training that results in a PhD degree is.

Case in point, Freeman Dyson, brilliant mathematician/math-physicist, never got a PhD degree, but did research work all his life. Note, he was deeply embedded in the research community, and pretty much everyone he collaborated with, was a PhD or eventually got a PhD (meaning he went through the motions just like other researchers).

Final note, the process and training required to be able to conduct research is massively undernurtured, i.e., in my opinion, most PhD graduates are barely an iota better-trained than MS graduates these days. This is getting increasingly true as world population grows, and PhD diplomas get handed out willy nilly (a topic I could go on at for hours). In short, Sturgeon's law is in full swing.
Not every movie is star wars. There were hundreds of low quality movies made last year with toy tie ins. But most are forgotten
We have three and have to try to keep people from giving us more toys. It doesn’t work and we get rid of about 1-2 kids worth of toys per year.

You could outfit a kid’s room with toys pretty respectably from scratch with $30-40 at the thrift store or garage sales, plus maybe about that much again at Target to fill in the gaps (bucket o’ LEGO and a base plate or two, or some dolls that still have their accessories, or whatever). Could stretch that second amount further with some good Ebaying, I bet. Drop another $30-40 every couple years (even for bikes—$10-30 at a garage sale) and you’re good until they start wanting electronics (and then you can just say “cool, get a job”)
NBC Contributor Reveals He Never Tested Positive Covid Network Followed Recovery
> Why are you so angry about Facebook, Apple, Google, and Spotify having a tiny outage?

The linked issue makes it very clear that the "tiny outage" affects literally every app that has the Facebook SDK merely linked, for a frankly dumb reason (static initialization) that they should have learned from the last time it happened.

It's not a SaaS. "Uptime" for a linked library is stupid.
What I retain from all of this...

I salute the fact he did work on the hint I gave on their "weirdly handled" irc chat on freenode... (you may be able to find some logs...). And they succeeded! I'm very happy that now the public is gonna have the clean way to produce an operating system with Gnu tools & Linux.

While I was very kind sharing with them they didn't appreciate I wasn't giving solution "directly" and clearly thrown stuff to me like I'm a noob speaking too much of thing I don't master... well, it was very surprising to me to end in this situation... I even asked bdubbs itself to support me with that... he thrown me that "he doesn't handle irc chat only book writing...". I was kind of meh I just left their chat...

The result of this weird context pushed me into this view:

THEY ARE BUILDING GNU/LINUX SINCE 20years! and 20 years later they are still waiting information to drops from sky... and then acts like pioneerrs...

This went far the edges limits! go in hell NOOBS!

I like Mr. White's writing. I interacted with him a bit several years ago with Julia's dataframe packages. He is a brilliant guy.

I think this insight (measures of centrality) and an article posted 4-5 years back to HN tying quantum theory as a separate branch of statistics (statistics under a different Lp norm) really helped tie together a lot of quantitative thread for me.
Applying the term "slave" to yourself is pretty obviously quite different to building a construct and declaring something or someone else to be a slave.

In much the same way that the n-word is most definitely not a term for people with my ethnic background to use, given it's history.

The expected value of future cash flow of SpaceX is likely $0. They've made it quite clear to investors that they will reinvest all profits into colonizing Mars. Yet Google says the valuation of SpaceX is $36 billion.
Indeed, the automatic HR measurement powers the heart rate sensor array only when the accelerometer reports that the ring is stationary, i.e. the user is likely sleeping. This also makes sense because hand movements tank the accuracy of the sensors anyway. With manual measurements, you can still only get useful data if you're using it to measure during meditation or rest.
>For services that are aimed at people who just want to communicate, getting a license won't involve anything like schematic diagrams--if a license is even required.

For people who might be interested in what those 'unlicensed' services are, they include:

- FRS (the Family Radio Service[0]), which is typified by the sort of $20 bubble pack radios you can buy at a sporting goods store;

- MURS (the Multi-Use Radio Service[1]), which is common in commercial radios used by e.g. staff at big box stores;

- CBRS (the Citizens Band Radio Service[2]), which is probably familiar to most from "any movie involving truck drivers".

These services may have licensing/approval rules for equipment, but not for individuals using them.

> i hope you don't have this kind of attitude in real life [...] you look like an pretentious prick

Yeesh. I don't even know what attitude you're referring to. You've set out to give some life advice, but do you know how real life conversations work? Can you understand that my response will differ greatly depending on what the answer to that question is? It's pretty normal for dialogues to be... dialogues, which includes checking in with each other instead of monologuing based on a lack of shared agreement.

> if you don't think explaining yourself here is worth it

Once again, what are you even talking about? You're responding to something you've imagined I've said or something you want to attribute to me, not what I've actually said or am thinking.

Can you wait for ragnese's reply and then my response before going off the deep end?

I had my reservations about becoming a HAM, mostly because of the FCC snitching mentality. Now I know this, I will never do HAM. I don't compromise on privacy, regardless the bells and whistles. A Baofeng is $25 and more in line with my ethics.

Good thing I don't own property then!

> Our names and addresses are much less private than most people think.

Some people rent a small flat where they don't live, just to have a postal address

Other people form a NV company to register their assets and protect their identity and address.
It achieves low power consumption by being off most of the time. That works out just fine for sleep because sleep phases take a long time to change and to verify that you need to take multiple samples over long time periods. But to accurately track movement characteristics you need to be always on.
I did something like this a few years ago! But I added random mutation and had each parent launch the child code.

After running for 20 minutes it had “evolved” to comment out the mutation code and just make perfect copies.
I thought that was a poorly-researched article. I'm most familiar with the Holy Land Deli situation, and actually talking to employees and customers results in articles like https://sahanjournal.com/news/as-holy-land-grocery-attempts-... It discusses some of the significant problems they had with pay disparity and treatment of Black customers; racism occurs in the Muslim community as in others.

Mounk indicates oh, American dream ruined because of spoiled daughter, while actual journalism exposes systematic pay disparities and unequal treatment of customers. Huh.

I hope that Holy Land can repair relationships with the community, change its ways, and do better going forward! If it can do that, then this was in fact a net positive for our community. Don't know whether that argues for or against blogging anonymously.
You can always use a .ai for marketing and have a less attractive dot com for anything critical.
The copy and paste button in all apps is programmatic. Windows can't tell the difference, for example, if a user copied from edit > copy or if the website did it itself.

It could work if windows had a copy paste api with levels of access and trusted the apps to honor the access level. Then the browser could tell windows if a user clicked paste or if a website did.

> Pi itself is not a random number, for example, but the digits of pi are believed to be random in this way (what mathematicians describe as “normal”): Every integer from 0 to 9 appears about the same number of times.

Does this not make the digits of Pi discreetly distributed (an equal chance for each integer?)? Is the meaning of 'normal' here not referencing a normal distribution?
Because most toy companies don't / can't understand vertical integration and increasing value capture.

Or, in other words, they don't have their own version of this strategy chart: https://johnaugust.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/07/disney_cha... (Disney corporate synergy, dated 1957)

Your primary consumer has the attention span of a 10-year-old, and no disposable income. Why are we surprised this is a terrible industry?

A smarter approach would be what Tim Sweeney is talking about with Fortnite (and Amazon infamously does): you have to do everything you can to pivot any initial success into a durable advantage, by aggressively expanding into adjacent opportunities, even if they're very different businesses (e.g. movie theaters).

They've made token moves towards this with the physical toy + computer game mash-up genre, but from an external perspective I don't think any of them quite get how it's supposed to work. Efforts seem under -capitalized / -resourced / -inspired.
The 816 is really not a great processor. In some ways I'd rather just have an MMU bolted on the side rather then the uncomfortable way that the 816 makes 24-bits memory available.

The segmented architecture is one thing, but the painful way it was hacked into the instruction set is not at all enjoyable to code for.

a) You're constantly having to flip modes between 16 and 8 bit for various registers, and keep track of which mode you're in.

b) There's no register that can hold a full 24 bit address. So imagine doing bitmap graphics in, say, a 640x480 display when you can only directly address the first 64k of it before having to futz with segments.

c) The thing sucks to interface. Many people have solved this problem but having to demultiplex the bus is not fun, especially when the 65xx already does so much in a single cycle.

The 816 was a hack, but not a particularly brilliant one. It does add some nice things (relocatable base page, etc.), but the 6502's instruction set didn't really have room for doing it right. So they didn't.
It also doesn't help that 80% of toys is cheap plastic tat. There's a lot of stuff but most of it is junk. For those who reach London at some point, I can't recommend enough V&A Museum of Childhood. It's a large museum with a substantial collection of toys,some as old as 300 years or so. It has it all: from PS1 to some wooden doll house an affluent Victorian family would have spent a small fortune on. The older toys are fabulous and nicely made. I think it's probably better to have a few quality ones than some 20 transform er cars that brake after 10 days of playing with them.
The term Zero cost abstractions, it is very much the goal.
Then they shouldn't complain too loud that HAM is dying.

Between us privacy minded geeks who don't want our records out in the public, and the queer teens who don't want their old names out in the public as explained by the parent poster, it doesn't leave much of a demography.

Nobody wants their archaic rules. It's that simple.
Generally and for many things, augmenting the existing backend is the best way over a rewrite which would take more than 5 years for many systems and with that, get shot down by accountants and management bureaucracy. As for the VM analogy, hmmmm from a data perspective, maybe.

But it all boils down to how the old system stores data, and some will enable you to hold multiple records and for example a comments field. May have the last character closed of from input as it is a continuation marker that means there is another record and they are joined, as you say two records. Changes like that will entail changes to the backend, though the impact can be more manageable than alternatives.

Then you can use replication or data warehousing and from that, lots of reports and other aspects that would hammer the backend become much more pleasant.

Crux is the limitations, things like names, so entwined into a system that it does not lend itself to the two records solution. So you use another solution.

You mention business rules and that is very much key and having somebody who knows the business logic is way more valuable to understanding the a system than knowing the language it is written in. So as an aside, if I had to employ somebody to work on an old legacy system, I'd take the person who knew or showed a grasp of the business logic and how that works over somebody who knew COBOL. As it is easier to teach COBOL than an entire business. COBOL has many books and resources, a business tends not to have such clear cut documentation.
I read you. Impostors bad-mouthing themselves? That's a contradiction in terms pure and simple.
Movie releases used to be a lot more stretched out. Theatrical release, maybe a year passes then it hits the premium movie channels, another year and they get to make a big deal about it being aired on a regular network. Then finally a few months later you’re seeing ads for the big VHS release.

A blockbuster movie was like a 3-4 year marketing event.

The problem is that there are no off the shelf chips that feel anything like the video chips of the late 8bit or 16bit eras.

You can do a bitmapped or character displays with just a bit discrete logic.

The graphics chips that do exist these days are all focused at driving LCD touchscreen interfaces with the cheapest microcontroller possible. They communicate over quad spi (not an interface that works with classic 8bit CPUs) and support 24bit color with complex modern drawing primitives like "draw line, draw box, draw circle and decode jpeg".

Sadly, if you want a sprite and tilemap video chip for your modern 8bit computer without resorting to old stock, an FPGA is about your only option.

Which isn't that inaccurate. Most video chips of that era were custom designs themselves, and FPGAs can be though of as just a simple way to achieve custom chip design on a hobbyist budget.
One of my projects over the years has been a hardware exchange that would run a program that would get all installed parts in a computer, possibly stress test. Find a buyer and optionally sell you an upgrade for the diferencie in price.
