Augmented Reality vs. Virtual Reality: The Developer’s Dilemma
For point 4, that could be a pretty smart move on their part and the reason they're able to keep going. Selling directly to consumers/setting up the distribution and marketing for that etc would be really difficult and a lot of D2C hardware companies have not done too well recently. It's unfortunate that it results in it being difficult to access for hobby markets, but relying on large, stable contracts from a lot of big manufacturers that already built up marketing and distribution over decades of operations is probably one of the better ways to commercialize a hardware innovation today.
Thanks for this explanation, really interesting

In other words the best from the customer's perspective.
In epidemiology, we determine "heard immunity" by calculating the proportion of the population that is in the Recovered (R) compartment (either through natural or artificial means). If your proportion that is in R is greater than 1-(1/R0) the incidence of the disease will start to decline.

Thankfully the R0 of SARS-COV-2 seem to be around 1.4–2.5 (meaning you need ~30% to ~60% recovered), so a vaccine would be actually very effective. I highly suspect "Travel to Europe" (i.e. international travel) may still be delayed for a long bit until we've gotten around to ~50-60% immunized, but it's tough to say.

One of the problems with Wikipedia is that the citation syntax does not require (it's possible but quite rare) specifying what part of the preceding text the citation relates to. As a result it often covers, deceptively, only part of the sentence it's attached to, or the paragraph it's attached to, and it can get worse with editing which doesn't account for the citation's content.
Thanks for the link. Looks like they've been hugged to death at the moment.
The article is specifically about VC-backed startups, so I was speaking to that. If you’re worried about burnout, don’t start a company. I take a lot of time off, but you can never really shut your laptop off.

That being said, a smaller drop shipping company or something similar could work!

You dodged my question, but I could try to answer yours.

Firstly, no one in this comment thread has claimed that PeerTube can solve all of the issues of YouTube. Privacy-oriented folk, and some FOSS advocates see it as a potential solution. Further, I do not personally use PeerTube, but I do use Mastodon and have read about PeerTube in passing.

Another major component of PeerTube aside from the P2P video is the decentralization aspect powered by ActivityPub, which is also used by Mastodon. So not only are the videos decentralized themselves, but so is the service; you can joined one PeerTube instance, and view videos that other instances can also view. If you grow unhappy with the administration of your current instance (maybe they added ads to the page, or maybe they are privacy-invading), you can simply move to another but still have access to the same videos.

In addition, since the videos are P2P, this reduces the server loads on each respective instance and thus lowers the baseline cost of having to host every video uploaded. This could reduce the need for ad revenue to keep the servers running.
It bothers me so much that the pairing of katakana and alphabetical characters has nothing to do with pronunciation.

>The positive thing about Kanji is that it allows for quite an efficient expression with more nuance.

As a person only a year and a half into learning Japanese, the positive thing is clearly marking separate words and particles. Japanese only has a few unique syllables and rarely uses spaces or other separators. I've repeatedly had trouble parsing loan words written in katakana, especially when it's more than one word smushed together.

> GPT-3 is just better at obfuscating that the model has no clue what it's talking about.

There's an interesting angle to this as well, which is that it makes the models "unfalsifiable" in a way. You can never prove whether the data is a straight compression lookup or whether the network has generated an insight, because the model can't tell you (to anthropomorphize).

This, more than anything else, would be the value of having explainable models. I don't blame the ML community for this gap, but it puts them in the unenviable position of not being scientific in the Popperian sense. There's a great element of "trust us, the intelligence is in there" or "the intelligence will get there", but when everything's a mashup of more hardware and data without a known structure, we ultimate have to take that on faith. We can do empirical measurements after the fact, but the guiding projections for how an experiment should behave is lacking. (I don't think anyone in any community has a satisfactory answer to this btw.)

A money-back guarantee isn't compelling for me, for several reasons. First, I know that I would feel guilty asking for money back, and I want to avoid being in that situation. Second, I don't fully trust money-back guarantees. Third, that's ~$100 that I need to part with when I might see within 1 hour that the product is not a fit.

A free trial would be far more compelling.

There is an additional trick that the media use which is generally referred to as 'the media sourcing itself'. To do so, article A will make a claim, and as evidence will cite article B. Upon inspection of Article B, you find that it is merely making the same claim. Frequently, article B will cite the supporting evidence, but not always.

Here's an example:

A top-level Ars Technica article claims "the US fossil fuel industry receiving huge subsidies, estimated at $649 billion in 2015 alone."[0] To support this claim, they don't link supporting evidence, but instead they link a Forbes article[1] which merely makes the same claim. Only by searching the Forbes article can you find a link to the actual supporting evidence [2], which, as it turns out, doesn't even support the original assertion.

I can't help but be struck by the similarity between bootstrapping a financial system and bootstrapping a self-hosting compiler. Once confidence in the system has been established, you can get rid of the thing that you used to establish that confidence in the first place (gold) and the system keeps running. Likewise, once you have somehow gotten your first compiler up and running, you can use it to compile itself and then you can get rid of the source code for the original compiler and use the compiled version to compile a new compiler from different source code, and then use that to compile... The original artifact that got the process going is not needed in order to sustain the process once it has been bootstrapped.

Yes, I often ask for a citation, and make a point to at least always scan them when provided, out of respect for someone putting in that effort on my behalf.

And often, turns out they are right and I make a point to sincerely thank them for the new information.

So yes, requesting a citation and then not reading it is extremely rude.

Some of the bashing is because of the over-the-top narration, and the script saying things that are borderline lies. It's not the first time this images have been seen. It's not the first time someone has rendered them in 4K video (I'm pretty sure Astrum and Scott Manley have used some of these images before).

When looking at the title at first I thought they had used an SR-GAN (or modern variant) to upscale the images. And no, they just took the images and pan over them. I wouldn't have liked the SR-GAN approach either, I'm not a fan of it (to me it trades accuracy for good looks, and it introduces some artifacts which, while harder to spot on video, are probably not really there).

Also others have pointed out that it seems like basically monetizing public domain images without putting some effort into it. Like another crows has pointed out, they do work into writing a script, the narrator, and editing the material, so that's not a take I like (and I'm also "in the same business" as them).
Also had a Toq. Probably one of my favorite smartwatches, and would have loved to see it live long enough to run Android Wear. Unfortunately, Qualcomm isn't a product company and the Toq was essentially a proof of concept for both Mirasol and their new (at the time) line of smartwatch-focused Snapdragon chips. They managed to convince most of the major real smartwatch OEMs to use Snapdragon but the Mirasol just never got off the ground. Apparently manufacturing was very difficult, as you might imagine, and they were hitting limitations on pushing the color depth.

Flash vector animations are infinitely scalable from a very tiny file size. The vectors in modern codecs are motion vectors. They don't generally have any concept of drawing primitives like splines, polygons, fills, gradients, etc., and they are raster formats so they have a fixed native pixel size.

The idea of a vector codec isn't new though, and prior attempts have been made, though I don't remember enough details to find a reference.

Just for anyone who might not be familiar, "vector" in this context refers to the graphics you would generate in a tool like Inkscape, where you can define complex geometric shapes with just a few datapoints. "Raster" graphics are what Gimp works with, where each pixel is specified (effectively) individually.
I only ever heard of such attacks through windows and ceilings, never through reinforced walls.

The WHO says there is only one worse thing than a bad pandemic, and that's a bad vaccine.
Because not everybody is exposed to the pandemic, but in principle everyone is exposed to the vaccine.

That doesn't counter your point, but we'll need up to phase 3, to have enough coverage to make sure your statistics hold.
But indeed, the risk seems to be balanced against 5 years waiting for any long term symptoms to show.

>Unionizing or creating a standardized contract for software developers across the industry. I'm tired of companies breaking their own policies, eroding benefits, and having unrealistic expectations.

Why on earth would software developers unionize? There probably isn't a profession where the workers have more power. If you don't like the way a company is treating or compensating you, leave!

Standardized contracts would also not be positive. The problem with standardized anything is that is where things stay, they don't get better. Competition in the marketplace is how contracts will get better.

So if you are tired of companies breaking their own policies, eroding benefits, and having unrealistic expectations, leave when your company does those things. By staying, you are voting for those things to continue.
Ah, you mean competitors are selling capsules, not the entire ecosystem. So, I believe that's how success looks like)

There are a lot of diseases that everybody gets vaccinated for routinely and regularly. I thought the assumption was this was going to be one of those, it is just a (currently unknown) matter of how frequently you'd need to get it.

Are any epidemiologists talking about possibly eliminating it completely? Seems like the toothpaste is out of the tube for that.

Dijo: A terminal-based habit tracker written in Rust
Thanks for this additional comment.

I thought more of your earlier comment about how "p,q:- r" is Datalog. I
accepted this because I figured you know what you're talking about but, to be
honest, I don't know what you're talking about. My understanding is that
without definite clauses (and "p,q:-r" is not definite) there are no fixpoint
semantics and without fixpoint semantics there is no guarantee of program
termination.

So I have to ask: where does this information come from? Could you point me to
a source? To be honest, I suspect that I am confused because of a lack of an
ISO standard for Datalog. Even Prolog, with an ISO standard, has various
extensions like, if memory serves, B-Prolog (which includes OOP elements). If
Datalog has no commonly recognised standard, then basically anything can be
called "Datalog" as long as someone, somewhere, can recognise it as Datalog.
Is that the case here? If so, that would clear my confusion.

It would also make more sense for me to say that "Datalog is a subset of
Prolog", at least in terms of syntax. In that case I'd have to clarify that
I'm talking aout a simple, commonly accepted language fragment of definite
clauses with at most one function symbol, which I think everyone would readily
recognise as "Datalog" without much fuss.

I confess that the extent of my knowledge about Datalog comes from
conversations with (senior) colleagues and not directly from original sources.
Of course, original sources go way, way back (but obviously not as back as
original Prolog sources and I'm familiar with those, so that's not a complete
excuse). In any case, I had a look at, e.g. "What you always wanted to know
about Datalog (and never dared to ask)" by Geri, Gotlob and Tanca (also in the
bibliography section of the wikipedia article on databases).

The article, which is from 1989 and clearly addressed at the databases
community (rather than the logic progamming, or AI community) states that
Datalog is "in many respects a simplified version of general Logic
Programming", referencing J. W. Lloyd for the latter. Since it's 1989, "Logic
Programming" clearly means Prolog (given that it's too early for, e.g. ASP).

Further, the article makes it explicity that "In the formalism of Datalog both
facts and rules are represented as Horn clauses of the general shape ..." and
gives an example of a definite program clause. Later, the article states "From
the syntactic point of view, Datalog is a subset of Prolog" (but then goes on
to point out the difference in semantics).

Finally, the article does agree with you that is is possible to evaluate
Datalog programs in a "top-down" fashion, using the query-subquery algorithm
which is, from what I can tell, backwards chaining implemented by
breadth-first search. So the semantics of Datalog can be different than
Prolog's. My mistake I think is in equating the use of a TP operator (which is
"bottom-up") to Datalog execution, always.
Super interesting, thanks for the reply!
