I appreciate the lack of bias in this article, but do feel that it's missing depth.

Religion isn't a "delusion", and in fact believing or following a religion doesn't mean your life will be easier, it will probably be harder! I don't like how the author sees religion, because it's not just something that "manages emotions." These conversations can always come out so explosive, as I believe in God too.

Religion gives purpose to our lives, it helps us understand why something is happening to us or to the world. Without the purpose, I feel it's a bit shallow to suggest religion solely helps manage our emotions.
And it made add on cards simpler, as well as cycle counting. In addition, the overall throughput of the CPU is better than most other machines, giving the Apple an effectively higher speed at that clock rate.

Overall, given memory expansion, the goofy screen didn't end up being too big of a deal. Most programmers made Y axis lookup tables and called it a day. The fact that the artifact color mapping repeated every word, two bytes, did have an impact in that it was generally faster to maintain two pre-shifted copies of software sprites though.
Is this a distraction story from USPS?
In a competent camera, you actually wouldn't. You would take a picture in RAW format, and change the White Balance afterwards. Whereas in a tiny phone, the RAW images are of exceedingly low quality.
OK it looks like this http://www.tptp.org/CASC/ is the standard benchmark for theorem provers. But I don't know the difference between evaluation schemes for Metamath and for CASC and I don't know why DL people evaluate on Metamath instead.

Isn't GPT-f SOTA on Metamath test though?
> I am not sure how much of this technique can be used elsewhere for legitimate purposes

...as a Linux systems engineer, you are many times faced with debugging a black box problem wrapped in SSL on both ends which you need to peek into to understand what's going wrong; there is nothing suspect about this technique in this environment, it's what you're paid to do (solve problems). It's basically like having the ability to elevate your NIC port to promiscuous mode to debug an issue (tcpdump, e.g.) - it's a tool with no opinion, the human operating it is the one to be worried about.
Looks like nextgen ad blocking to me. If you can instrument TLS connections on the client, you can identify ad content and substitute blank video frames or just 404s.
That poster is definitely nitpicking.

Ive seen most people point to V as the goto for novices. Its cheap, super engaging like all Civs are, and misses a lot of of the nitpicky flaws that are prevalent in VI
Yeah. I feel like putting a rule that if an account trade volume exeeeds 1% of average daily volume for a stock then submit the report wouldn't be too hard. Could be done offline during trade settlement. I'm wondering if there's more rigid requirements about when to submit them.

I think there is a more positive interpretation of comments like GP regarding the v2 documentation. There might be content but is not discovered easily. I have experienced this myself, the structure of the docs, currently, is not structured in a way that makes it easy to find what you need.

A lot of the meat is interspersed in random replies to questions both in github issues and community posts. Also, I have the impression that some content is not accessible (linked?) from the side bar in the docs page but only through links from content pages.
Most google and github search return content for v1, most tutorials online are for v1.

I don’t think the feedback was meant to detract from the effort put to document things, it just highlights that current documentation could be better organized.
Baba Yetu is a great song and is now a phenomenon beyond Civ.

I prefer my Civ games to be very long.

Like so many, I spent countless hours of my childhood playing Civ 1 and 2 as a kid. These were single player experiences that I would play out over several days.

Much later in life, I remember there was a competing game that came out "Civilization: Call to Power" from Activision. It wasn't perfect, but it was some of the most fun I had. You see, that game had support for a type of play called "Play by Email" (PBEM). You could hang out on the Apolyton forums (https://apolyton.net/forum) and co-ordinate a PBEM game with other civ players.

Each player would play their turn, mail it on to the next player, and post an update on the forum. Posts would often be role play .. often with diplomatic messages, declarations of war, expressing outrage, or overtures for peace, or just listings of grievances or demands. People would email each other directly to scheme or perform diplomacy, form secret (or open) alliances and non aggression pacts.

If a player went inactive for too long, we'd get a new player to join the game and take over the helm for their civilization. These games would go on for many months start to finish. Players could be engaged in multiple such games at the same time.

I don't know if the new Civilization games offer this type of gameplay (I do not think they do), but I would love this type of game structure.
>an effective equivalent to the second law of thermodynamics for information systems: P=/=NP.

This is not true. For example, the second law is only a statistical claim - the larger the system, the more likely it holds. But the second law is not a law against entropy ever going the other way. It's entirely possible, but not likely that another universe pops out of a quantum fluctuation at any moment. See the concept of a Boltzmann Brain for where physicists think this leads.

And P != NP is not a law at all - it's a guess, since no one knows if it's true. Complexity classes certainly changed with the introduction of quantum computer, allowing (very) few problems with known exponential classical Turing time to be done in polynomial quantum Turing time. It is also known that if closed timelike loops are allowed in computation then P=NP, but it's not known if we can engineer such physical items.

>The claims often made about the transcendent nature of the laws governing "the market" violate the computational properties of reality as we understand it

As evidence of the falsity of the above claims, TQFTs routinely compute NP hard problems, which is why for some time Friedman has tried to leverage them to solve NP hard computational problems.

Here's [1] but one paper showing this to be true. "Non-Abelian topological quantum field theories exhibit the mathematical features necessary to support a model capable of solving all ⧣P problems, a computationally intractable class, in polynomial time. "

Roughly, TQFTs perform certain "computations" on knots in polynomial time that are known to be NP hard in classical or current quantum computing models.

[2] is another nice take in Annals of Mathematics, the most prestigious journal in math.

Thus reality routinely solves NP hard problems. Thus your claims are not true.

Elixir and Erlang both yield BEAM bytecode, which is what actually runs. There's zero difference other than a choice in interface design, which is why they're also completely interoperable.

Phoenix is basically a feature wrapper around Cowboy which is written in Erlang and dates to 2011 when it reimplemented Webmachine which ran on Mochiweb which I am too lazy to dig up the actual start year for beyond "had quite an install base when Rails was in alpha."

Again, potentially useful argument, but you're pointing it in a direction that doesn't make any sense if you actually understand how those work.
The 6809 and accompanying Motorola 6833 SAM chip in your Dragon that handled the graphics was originally meant to be a video terminal - and uppercase was just fine for that. The later versions of the SAM did have a proper lowercase. Those showed up in later TRS-80 CoCo II but took a bit of prodding to activate.
Or, as briefly mentioned in the article, use Halide, which outputs RAW files, which you can then edit in your app of choice. (Nice thing about iOS: it outputs Adobe DNG files, which is a standardized format, and broadly readable by a bunch of applications.)
I've implemented Vuex on a Vue 2 project to reduce adding props all the way down in my sub-components. Looking back, I would only add Vuex to a project if it needed it. Hint: small projects do not need it. Just rely on "Events up, props down" for your data flow.

We aren't talking about hidden preferences but about add-ons. And if you don't want to support people who installed add-ons you didn't verify, don't support people who installed add-ons you didn't verify.
The example given in comment #20 provides a practical reason for it, in that in some cases it makes things more consistent visually. But mostly these reasons are subjective and some people will be more or less sensitive to them. A lot of programming language design and tool design in general is not completely rational or about functionality only.
That's true, but occasionally revolutions happen.

"artificial intelligence" and "machine learning" were pretty static from the early '1990s to the late '2000s - and then, all of a sudden there was an explosion which many "English professors" missed.

Ok, I can see that my opinion is getting super-downvoted.
But I genuinely fail to understand why developers' opinions should be treated with so much reverence.

It sounds to me like the _only_ reason developers are clamoring against the App Store is because some fraction of developers are unhappy about a high commission. It's on the same lines are some people out there unhappy about Apple's high prices. In both cases, you should vote with your wallets -- do not buy Apple devices or develop for Apple devices.

>Combined with the ambiguity, lack of choice, threats to business
Would you say that there was abundant choice for developers before the iPhone? What would you develop for -- Blackberry? Nokia? None of those manufacturers had anything remotely close to the iPhone. Right?

Would you say that a 3rd party developer who writes a "flashlight" app is really a legitimate business? Ok, I'll acknowledge the beef with Spotify and the threat an integrated platform can pose in that regard. So what would you propose Apple do? Pay software engineers on their payroll to help Spotify sell music on the iPod (oops; I mean iPhone)?

>Most companies are not hugely profitable.
>In many cases, Apple is making considerable more profit off of apps than developers themselves.
>For a $1 spent, about 25 cents to Apple mostly profit, then 70 cents to the dev which will mostly be dev., ad. and op. costs.

All this goes to show is that Apple is hugely expensive platform to develop for. Massively expensive! I am sincerely trying to understand _why_ would any developer _need_ to take this expense if they cannot afford it? Can't you develop a web app instead?
This is a really cool effect. The demo page doesn't say much, but there are parameters for speed, overlap, shading, and perspective. It would be cool if the first thing you see on the demo page is an unfolding menu that has clickable items to see other demos that show off these parameters a bit more.

The only other thing I'd note is that if you click the toggle button while the animation is loading, the animation snaps to the start of the next state and begins the animation. It doesn't fold up/down from its current position. That might be a tough thing to add, but it could go a long way.

Overall, I enjoy this effect. Nice work!

Many early character sets (CDC Display Code, UNIVAC's Fieldata) were only 6 bits wide, so there wasn't room for two cases of the letters until 8-bit EBCDIC and 7-bit ASCII came along.
Also its important to add that a lot of the DLC content ends up in future patches.

It is a turn based game, and it can end early if you are conquered.

However if you make it to 2050 in quick mode, assuming you have a modern computer, a game on Earth2 / Huge may take you 2 to 3 hours if you are familiar with the game and you do not get into many conflicts.

However this is not the way Civ is meant to be played. You are supposed to inspect your cities, make sure citizens are healthy and happy, emphasize culture, science, population growth, economy depending on what is best, build a balanced army, conduct diplomacy, spread your state religions and corporations, keep an eye on your allies and adversaries, spy on adversaries and sabotage their stuff, etc.

The game pushes you to take sides and if you don't you will piss off everybody.

New AlphaZero Paper Explores Chess Variants
I somehow broke ruby on my Mac so I can’t use cursor keys in irb. No big problem, just do a quick

docker run -it —-rm ruby

and I can try some code in the repl. Yes, I‘m sure I could fix it somehow, but I didn’t have time for it today, I just needed to get this short script working.
I still haven't played VI, despite both owning it and the Civ series being one of my favorite games (all the way back to I).

I really hate micro (ADHD and tedious repetitive tasks don't mix well) and usually automated my workers as quickly as I could. I heard that this isn't possible in VI. That, along with the huge time commitment increase and the terrible AI have so far made me unwilling to bother playing.

Is it worth a shot? I'm torn between finally playing that, and the fact that CK3 just came out.
If the pricing is different its very likely you do, its just minor things changed nobody ever notices.
One more tilt at the old windmill.

This is not an algorithm; this is a heuristic. An algorithm is (loosely) a method or procedure for achieving some specified end.

"... avoid redundancies that could bore the user, like seeing multiple videos with the same music or from the same creator" is the goal, and they have heuristics to try to work towards that, and algorithms and software that implement those heuristics.

I think the ship has sailed on this, but when you are in circles where both heuristics and algorithms are in play, this blurring of lines makes for very confusing conversations.
> Somewhere someone has decided that Letsencrypt should auto-update even if absolutely nothing had been changed on the system that it was running on.

This is why I always run certbot inside of a docker container.

> The machine that this is all running on will need a much more recent version of its OS.

Again, same thing: use Certbot inside Docker.

You posted personal attacks repeatedly in this thread. If you do that again we will ban you. We've had to warn you more than once about breaking the site guidelines already.

If someone else is making false claims, show how the claims are false, so we can all learn something. Don't just tell that they're false and especially not in noxious ways like this. Not only do you poison the community when you post like this, you also discredit any truth that you're trying to defend: https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=true&sor...

Other commenters have expressed skeptical reactions while staying within the guidelines. Please be like them in the future.

By the way, the claims in the OP probably are too good to be true, because most claims are too good to be true. But if we're to have an interesting forum in the long run, people need to correct bad information by respectfully providing good information, not by bashing each other in uninformative ways. Perhaps you don't owe someone who is making false claims better (I'm speaking only of the general case here, not the OP)—but you definitely owe this community better if you're posting to it. Please do better from now on.

Sure, I was creating chroot's manually with a bunch of bash scripts and rsyncing around filesystems like nobody's business... but it wasn't something you could replicate across organizations and even environments. It was all hand picked and meticulously developed.

Docker (and the many, nice alternatives) standardize the format and build nice features on top. It abstracts away the lower-level stuff.

Neat to know about if you're interested in how it all works... doesn't mean it's harmful.

The real annoying ones were the read the sectors in a block starting at 0 and going up you get one set of data. But if you run it backwards or do a deliberate seek you get a different set of data. Because of the interface or drive used or the firmware on that drive like you said. Starforce also used a variant of that. The super annoying ones are the ones that played with the ECC bits too or like the PS1 having a special wobble track. The laserdisc ones I am a bit excited for. They are getting some really nice images out of them vs copying it off the board in some random place or worse out of the svideo/RCA connector. Unlike the apple stuff they are having to resort to multi image copies to get an average of 'good' because of scratches or poor SNR out of some pickups. The apple ones can filter it to a point as you know you are supposed to get 8 bit chars out of it. With LD not so much though. Seeing the diff copy protections is kind of cool too like the ones where they put a special sector out of reach for normal firmware but they would re-write it on the fly and force the drive to read it. Think there were a few of those on the c64.
So you just have the word of one activist? Sorry, that's not enough evidence for me to believe it. If the NSA wanted to unlock a random journalist's phone, they would be able to hack it.
> But it’s not by a Portland business and the computing isn’t done in Portland either.

Then it's not illegal. Portland's jurisdiction only extends to the borders of Portland. Even when it makes logical sense, you can't have agencies in Portland exercising executive control over organizations and people that don't live there. That way lies madness.

But it's a pretty easy loophole to close - just make it illegal to share images of people in public in Portland for the purposes of facial recognition. Now you can keep sharing images the way you used to, but it's a huge liability to try to do this to skirt the law.

At the end of the day if someone really wants to use facial recognition on (against?) someone in Portland, there are legal ways to do it even with explicit prohibitions like this. And the more nefarious the actors, the more likely they'll just use an illegal way.
Sounds like a similar deal. I was 'allowed' to take the boys for my first holiday with them in years the other week and it was complete bliss. Blackpool beach has never felt so special...

One thing I've been meaning to ask someone in the same position - how do your friends with kids treat you now? Especially those that knew you with your ex?

Improbable things happen frequently at scale. One possible scenario is just that this card got lost twice.

It could have slipped behind a counter at the original post office and been uncovered when that office was decommissioned 35 years later. Then it would have made its way to a newer sorting facility where either it could have been misplaced again or, more likely, been stuffed in a cabinet somewhere (as I doubt USPS was as adamant about delivering lost mail in the 1950's). That facility could easily be in operation until today - or decommissioned very recently.

No idea if anything like this actually occurred. But at 400M+ letters / day, USPS has the scale for unusual circumstances like this to be somewhat regular occurrences.
