Can a Stingray be used to eavesdrop on someone using an app like Signal for a voice call or message?
Are the meetings really mandatory? Or just assumed to be mandatory?
I’m part of an architecture team and we’ve all agreed to implement a policy where unless absolutely required (e.g. multiple SMEs are needed) there shouldn’t be more than one team member in a meeting.
Even our weekly team meetings aren’t mandatory unless you are on the agenda explicitly if you can attend you should but if you have more important things to do then no one would mind if you don’t.
And no one knows what the actual rules are going to be come 1/1/2021.

Right. There's still no deal between the UK and the EU. The UK still wants many of the benefits of being in the EU without submitting to the EU's trade rules.[1]

Would it shock you that the main reason that space is vacant in New York or California is due to tax policy, state and federal?

If it doesn't make sense it makes dollars.
I get that the change in stroke width is supposed to create "weight", but it honestly looks too half-thin and half-bold, or like the text was written in wet paint and the paint is dripping down. Pretty confusing to read with.
Triple is not needed, just double with a redundant "disagree" alarm.

Once the pilot knows there's one bad AOA, they can lock out the bad one as an input to the autopilot/MCAS, or hand fly without automation. Of course this is all a bunch of new software and training though.
This is something that suprised me with apple. Apple has the physical aspect and support done very well. My SO's iphone broke and it needed some parts replaced. Instead of having some online warranty drama, apple just changes out the device in the store.
Given how this administration behaves, it's just occurred to me that it's also equally likely that TikTok is being singled out because it was used to coordinate the bogus Trump rally ticket reservations.

Any time a firm, app, or organization does something to offend or inconvenience the man, he launches an attack against it. There's certainly a pattern of this behaviour.
> Matter is easy to see when it emits light (like stars)

That's the part I don't get; if the intergalactic medium is that hot, shouldn't it be emitting huge amounts of blackbody radiation? Supposedly ionization interferes with that, but even black holes emit blackbody radiation (hawking radiation), so that seems like a insuffient explaination.
Somehow it reminded me of WinAmp

What you’re missing is that this chain represents a social hierarchy that has to be preserved above and beyond any material arrangement. Bankers > borrowers > tenants.

You can bailout the upper echelons of the first two, but anything further calls into question the whole validity of the arrangement. That is forbidden.
You fail to grasp the size of the equities market, as well as tangential trading opportunities. Also options market making against retail is absurdly profitable. There’s a reason Citadel is paying tens of millions of the privilege of executing these trades.

Unless there is thick fog they can just see you with their eyes.

There's security arguments for having it (i.e. confirming locking/detecting jamming) but pretending people cannot see you or otherwise hear you, but can hear a single honk isn't a realistic set of seemingly contradictory circumstances.
There's no free lunch. The government money has to come from somewhere too. Otherwise, inflation.
It's always so wholesome when devs interact positively with 'exploit hunter' types. I wonder why it feels like that.
Batteries last more like five years, in my experience, although it does depend on your usage patterns. I'm about 300 cycles in and still at 98% capacity on my iPhone 8.
My thought exactly. Would be great to read an Arm-specific version of this article.
I found myself doing the same, but I finally got so fed up with it I took action. I'm not sure about the content of your emails, but many of mine were from groups I was following that I had no interest in any longer, from code changes being made to repositories in which I no longer work, or just generic crap that I can't disable.

When I get an email I don't care about, I take action to make sure I don't get any more. I unsubscribe if it's a distribution list or some website that bought my email. I throw garbage I can't control into its own folder using Outlook rules. If it's a repo that I don't need, I unfollow it in github.
Well for one it would be very disruptive and hard to justify. It would interfere with 911 and calling family and would scare and inconvenience the populace turning them against them and a certain safe 'status quo' apathy is what they depend upon. Social dynamics aside more people on the streets makes their job harder regardless of their demeanor - which they will if they need to go in person to check on others.

The disruption to service would also be very expensive to businesses which would be encourage flight.

"And we lost this multi-million dollar contract sale because the cell service to reach us anywhere went down for three days, a worse case for the company than even if rioters burnt down the whole office. Why are we located in this shithole again?"

You can't drop constant multiplicative terms in an exponent - O(2^n) is not equivalent to O(2^(2n)) as O(4^n) \= O(2^n) (the first one grows a lot faster).
> I have yet to work at an org that didn't have a dependence on many pieces of software that are exclusively Windows.

You do know we are talking about Windows on ARM here right?

I haven't said that every time I've been talking about this, but that's the context, Windows on ARM.

> Windows still utterly dominates the software landscape except in web stuff.

Again, Context. Windows on ARM doesn't dominate anything. That's why I said "even in this limited scope" right after the phrase you quoted. I figured folks would recognize we were still on the same topic.
It's not there to prevent stalling, except in as much as pitching the plane too much does eventually result in stalling; however any pilot will have pushed the stick or trimmed long beforethat. It's there to make the plane behave exactly like an older model at a high angle of attack, to counteract the engines being further forward than those models.
Have there been studies that looked at if different colors of indicator lights (vs. brakes) "save lives?"
OpenRCT2, the open-source project that improves RCT2, has some of these features as well. It has a scenery picker and it also has a ghost train feature for rides under construction. It also makes it run much smoother on modern systems and introduces a keyboard shortcut for almost everything, although vanilla RCT2 also had quite a few already.

Digital currency will bring about more innovation, efficiency, and equality of opportunity in the world by creating an open financial system. We can use this new technology to help good ideas spread faster, reduce the inefficiencies that legacy payment networks impose on the world, and provide access to financial services to several billion people in the developing world.

I've personally been here for 3 years and love it. Tons of autonomy, lots of really challenging problems, and a super mission aligned employee group.

We're particularly interested in folks who are interested in building a world-class Javascript platform across React and React Native. Also, we just went fully remote-first (focus on US-remote hiring for now), so would love to hear from folks who are interested in that!

My inclination for these kind of systems isn't so much to prevent the act from happening in real-time but more around providing law enforcement with enough footage to land the perpetuators in jail. Of course if that part of the system is broken then we're truly screwed no matter what.
A lot of things are considered national security risks despite lacking what you might consider proof of wrongdoing.

It’s quite frankly baffling that people can’t see why one of the most popular social media platforms wouldn’t be considered a national security risk, especially after what we saw during the last presidential election.
I'm in the same boat (except I wasn't "stuck," I was climbing, but I wanted to do something else), and my post articulates logic that I am using myself :) I recently cold-messaged someone in a startup in one of those industries, and they were surprisingly willing to carve out an opportunity for me. He's the person who would be my boss and just needs to get approval from the CEO. Even if that doesn't work out, I've learned the following lesson in various ways over the past few months: just applying to jobs isn't enough if you don't have specific applicable experience. That should be common sense, but somehow I had fooled myself into thinking otherwise before. Career switching is a complete grind. That's why it's so important to join a growing industry, do great work, and hopefully never have to switch again.

I welcome comments from someone who successfully reset their career after at least 5-10 years of working.

That's a necessary condition, but not a sufficient one, for GPU-friendliness.

An embarrassingly parallel workload on 64 bit integers, without wavefront flow-control coherence, and with highly chaotic memory-access patterns, might not fare well on GPU.
> We should be able to say say “I’m free for meetings from 2-5pm on Tuesdays and Thursdays, and if you want to talk to me then that’s when you can.”

It's a nice idea, but the moment you have more than a very small handful of people who need to meet this becomes untenable and obnoxious.

"Sorry, Mike says he'll only meet between 2 and 4 on Wednesdays, so I guess we'll have this meeting in 17 years when that works for everyone else. Or maybe Mike is just fired now? Either way, I suppose."

> In most companies, doing that would make you an annoyance. Those companies don’t respect Deep Work.

The other perspective, of course, is that you don't respect collaboration.
I might have to steal this quote.
> Do we know or is a reason to believe that FAA checked anything else then the MCAS and the systems related in the crashes?

Yes. The FAA's proposal also involves physically re-routing some cables, which is (as far as I can tell) completely non-MCAS-related.

That change still leaves a small bias in the case where there are 3 directions to choose from. The effect is presumably small (I don't know how many bits are produced by scenario_rand()), but it would be assuming to try to figure out the maximum maze bias that is possible to extract from this.
This thread just made me realize that it's probably been almost six months since I have driven at night.
I agree with all that, but surely if they don't have any wiggle room to offer grace they don't have wiggle room to let the property be vacant for 6+ months, by which time there will inevitably be a glut of supply on the market.
This is all true, but there's also no cloud or sync icon. (I suppose those only matter for native apps.)
I've found planning ahead to work, to great success. Almost ridiculously so. It's come to the point where I don't really need my usual distraction blockers.

I've found:
1. I can fit a lot of things into my day, than I assumed.
2. I often overestimate how long things take, on top of that.

Point 2 is particularly interesting, since I know if I just bang out my tasks, I'll keep find "free time" that I over-planned for. By the end of the day, I get a couple free hours to do whatever I want, and it's lovely.
About 12% larger capacity. Not enough of an improvement to eliminate this problem.
The multiplier of 4.11 was for a tile of length for the test mazes, which is actually 2 more tiles of maze. Every tile has 2 indents so one tile of length has 2*2=4 indents. Therefore we need to take the fourth root to go from the multiplier per tile of length to the multiplier per indent.
I used to use OneLook! It must have been about 17 years ago. Congratulations on such a long-running website.
> “It’s the most frustrating situation because it’s not about passion anymore or the work you put in or the hours you put in,” he said. “It’s all about the mitigating circumstances that are out of your control.”

this is generally true about business. if the regulatory environment, the marketing is good, or the loan office is good (etc), you get lucky. if a celebrity likes your yoghurt. etc.

hard work is the other side of this, but the role of luck is huge.

anyway, looks like we're headed into the first real bust in a long long time.
Passwordless Authentication for OpenResty
They aren't durable in my experience though. Although most apple cords have issues with the connection "neck" (not sure of the actual nomenclature).
First off, GPT-3 is absolutely not a vanilla transformer.

The moving pieces here in BigBird are a vector associated with each token in the sequence and a few more global vectors that you can think of as latent variables. Those pieces are present at each layer. The vector in layer i+1 at position t in the sequence is a function of a bunch of the vectors in layer i.

If position t depends on all of the other positions, then you end up computing all combinations. A sequence of length N has N^2 combinations. Papers like this are using different patterns.

In this one, position t only depends on local positions in some small window around t, those global/latent-ish variables, and a small number of random positions. The number of combinations is (the size of the local window + the number of random pieces to attend to + the number of global vectors to attend to) times the number of positions, so it's some k * N rather than N^2. That lets you scale to longer sequences.
MCAS only kicks in at high angle of attack with the flaps up. I believe that most flights never come near having it activate.

If it disables due to faulty sensors and the pilots are told it is disabled, most flights won't have to do anything different at that point. The plane will handle just like it normally does.

If there are flights that are supposed to have maneuvers that would trigger MCAS, pilots are going to need to be trained to avoid those maneuvers when MCAS is disabled.
Emailing you on your person email address (mentioned in your profile) is okay?
Note that calling it 2^O(N) (or Omega) would be more accurate, unless you stumbled upon a really lucky coincidence.
> But this is also true for any other statically typed language. Java/Scala/Kotlin/Go/Rust you name it.

Notice how none of those languages have a vibrant numerical computing ecosystem anywhere near Julia's despite being just as old or older than julia and being big, well known languages with large communities? It's almost like scientific programmers don't want to do science in those languages.

I don't think it's an accident that Julia's package developers have been remarkably productive compared to Python. The best differnetial equations library available on Python right now is a wrapper for Julia's DifferentialEquations.jl. This is not because Python users don't care about differential equations or because there's not enough money or manpower. Chris Rackauckas did more on his own in julia for differential equation solving in his first couple years than entire industries did in Python over decades.

Julia is a productive and performant language. When you hold up Java and Python, you're asking me to choose between productivity and performance (at best, obviously Python has serious productivity problems and Java has serious performance problems despite those being their touted strengths).

If you think back to the state of the web at the time, those services were expansive in their scope and ambition when they were launched. I give Google credit for continuing to run and maintain them to this day.

Great blogpost, thanks for sharing. I'm hoping the next 5 years will lead to enough improvement that accuracy levels will get high enough that users will feel more comfortable using voice interfaces. We'll see. It does seem to me like as long as it can only be used for commands it will never take off. But being able to do conversations consistently is a very hard problem.
I treat every meeting I'm in as optional unless I was specifically asked to be in it.

> Given the option, would anyone choose to book a trip on one of these new Boeing aircraft rather than anything else? I know I wouldn't, my family wouldn't, and none of the friends or co-workers I've discussed this with would.

You wouldn't, but the thing is - you don't get the option.

Your airline won't tell you which plane you'll be flying until boarding time. You then have the option of cancelling your flight without a refund, or flying.
The two are inextricably linked. Which apps are available on a phone are part of the decision of which phone you might prefer to buy.

In the Pursuit of Knowledge and Mastery
I think the thing people sometimes forget is that at the core of all of this drama is a substantive issue (and the reason for the arbitration claims), namely:

* Can Patreon kick someone off who did not violate their terms of service?

* Does kicking someone off in this manner constitute tortious interference?

It's actually somewhat unfortunate that this is going through arbitration, if only because we likely won't ever get the full details of the judgement.

However, it is clear that, in addition to the central issue under arbitration, there are a number of errors that Patreon has made that are not working in their favor.
