True, to make money you need a ton. Sometimes you will make bad trades. Even when it works out your gross profit on the 10000 trade is 100, out of which you need to pay expenses. It isn't a place for small players, but the amount of money on an individual trade isn't much.
True; So how does that make it any better?
The thing is; messages for Erlang are far more part of your programming/architecture than in other languages. You are basically writing 'nanoservices' all the time. I saw quite a lot of people mentioning it in discussions, including here, for instance [0].

Just because C++ is unsafe by default that doesn't make it less high level.

Languages like Swift and C#, or even Rust, while safe by default do also have their gotchas, do expose unsafe code capabilities, and when an application crashes or panics in the middle of a critical workflow, it is deadly no matter how it came to happen.

Specially deadly in the age of thin runtime libraries, that requiring installing half of the Internet for each basic dependency, without any sort of control quality.

For example, Rust libraries that make use of unsafe just because the authors gave up on writing the code in a proper way, but n levels deep on the whole dependency chain.
At least here we do have high requirements for burning stuff so you do have proper filters etc.

Honestly, I checked out the storygraph after reading the article, and the first thing that came to mind when I saw the site was ‘amateur hour’ that I read earlier today in some post about Apple.

That said, it’s readable and mobile friendly, so that’s a win.
> Someone who can't handle going 5 km/h under the speed limit shouldn't be trusted to operate a motor vehicle

Neither should someone who can't handle going at 5km/h faster than the speed limit.

It will happen one day that they'll need to and maybe that day it will rain and that will be the day they cause an accident, possibly involving others.

Limits are not there because that's the maximum speed you should be _able_ to drive, they are there for pedestrian safety and to reduce the noise.

> . Enforcement and normalization of slower speeds through a critical mass of slower vehicles could change things.

On the contrary, I hope there will be way faster vehicles, underground, only for those trained to drive them or machine operated.

Everyone else should just ride a bike or walk or catch a bus or a (slow) cab.

The need for speed won't go back, we need to move faster and faster, the more our lives go faster.

p.s. before someone says it, I live in a very expensive neighborhood just to be at walking distance from my office. Even though I love driving and are a semi professional trained pilot, I usually don't drive in the city, unless I have to.

But I can understand why people forced to use a car want to drive them as fast as the limit permits.
I really wish there was a standard way of streaming audio over LANs that worked between devices (like phones, computers, and smart speakers). Bluetooth is such a pain, IMHO.
It's also way less effective than they mentioned because they didn't get hacked either way. So there was 0% difference in effectiveness between port 24 and 22 since the ssh was properly configured.

Security by obscurity only matters if you aren't secure in the first place. It can be a good extra layer of protection, but the worst examples of security mishaps I've seen are because people find the security unnecessarily burdensome and so they bypass it entirely. So in that way obscurity in that case has a real cost.
I admit that this is to some extent memory management that you have to think about. However especially when it comes to concurrency, this is stuff you have to think about in any language.

The difference is just in when you get the error and what kind you get. Do you get errors at runtime or does the compiler complain?

I would argue that doing some of this in Python with no language support at all, is in some ways more manual than Rust, where you get at least assistance.

Ownership and borrowing in Rust is solving a much bigger problem than what has been traditionally understood as memory management. Put another way: Other languages even with GC only solve memory management partially.

Rusts approach has downsides with cyclic data structures, that’s true but how often do you implement those in real world code? Async can indeed be tricky, that requires a bit of time to wrap your brain around but I think it’s getting better.
Your answer baffles me.

The state will protect itself and its vital tools (like the monopoly on violence, and monopoly on currency, monopoly on taxation etc). Its primary task is not to "protect peoples lives", the primary task is to protect itself. And it has good reason to; there is no better social mechanism than a state to grant people safety and (in some countries) - freedom.

For me, recommendations got remarkably better once I used 5-10 tags ('shelves') per book for about 50 books I read - after that, the per-shelf recommendations got very good.
Exactly so. Though life was more annoying without a mobile phone for example (failed rendezvouz?) it happened. It's not helpful to demonise the tech rather than managing it and yourself candidly IMHO.
I guess those are the cases where self driving vehicles of some sort would be great - it doesn't have to be the full point to point expensive vision driven systems.
Even slow moving driverless buses/trams on slightly larger roads following invisible tracks in the street that could be hailed/stopped from anywhere, would work (together with an app that tells you when one will appear).
That's a good point, is there any actual data?

I found one thing which is a bit counter to this, but not directly relevant to cities. Germany manages to have no speed limit on the majority of the Autobahn without a higher rate of accidents compared to surrounding countries.

I do the same. Plastic bags are quite convenient, are often easier to clean than fancy reusable bags, can be given away without a second thought, and fit nicely in a backpack when folded. Whenever I get a new one, I fold it up and put it in a box in my coat closet. Going shopping? Grab a few, stick them in my car or backpack.

They last practically forever—certainly longer than the cheap reusable bags that have a tendency to tear and stain.
Hello everyone

Image super-resolution is one of the most popular generative algorithm

A neural network takes a low resolution image and has to imagine & generate all the finer details

A lot of rapid progress has been made in this field coming from early stage ML models to recent TECOGAN

In this article I cover the task of super-resolution, the taxonomy of the algorithm developments, loss functions, performance metrics and popular datasets

In addition I have provided detailed code of ESPCN architecture to train a model from scratch and corresponding Paperspace gradient notebook

Also attached a pre-trained ESPCN model to play out with

Would be happy to discuss any further questions related to this topic

Maybe your comment has been written as a joke, but there are also Transylvanian rugs [1], which even though are not copies (but the originals themselves) the’ve “lived” their life long enough outside Anatolia in order to merit a new “name”.

> The name Transylvanian rug is used as a term of convenience to denote a cultural heritage of 15th–17th century Islamic rugs, mainly of Ottoman origin, which have been preserved in Transylvanian Protestant (Hungarian and Saxon) churches.[1][2] The corpus of Transylvanian rugs constitutes one of the largest collections of Ottoman Anatolian rugs outside the Islamic world.[3]

Strangely enough many of the people now living in Transylvania look at anything Turkish- or Anatolian-related with a clear air of superiority, presumably everything that matters comes from the West (if that’s from Germany that’s even better), is a very good thing that the Transylvanian Saxons from the 1500s or the 1600s were more culturally open-minded.

Which is why you have local taxes, to cover such activities.

Personally I think we need to reverse the supply chain and require all shops to take back any packaging sold.

I'd love to see standardised reusable plastic cartons in supermarkets. And a heavy tax on transportation of mixed water - drink syrup is extremely cheap, we mix it with heavy water, wrap it in plastic and fill lorries with it; that's a massive waste. Anything with lots of water in should be mixed if at all possible at the delivery end. Baby steps, I know.
The whole problem with PayPal is exactly that it isn't a bank so they can get away with all kinds of stuff a bank cannot. I doubt a bank backed competitor could survive against a business that can just lock an account with money in it and never pay them back. Not really a level playing field.

It’s Finally Here: SmalltalkAgents (1994)
In the area I live, the majority of rental properties are owned by two landlords.

The tactic I see most often used is to get a tenant and say that they can ‘do work’ on the property to fix it up, and that will reduce their rent.

They are then evicted, and a new tenant is moved in to pay a higher rent (b/c of the improvements).

The prior renter was warned by multiple homeowners on the street this would happen.
I agree that "I can't find any good books to read" is not really a problem most readers I know have. Most have dozens, or hundreds, of books on their To Be Read pile. Finding new books to read doesn't really strike me as a big problem.

I've seen people looking for extremely specific books get stuck. "I'm looking for fantasy where the bad guy turns into a good guy but keeps working on the bad guy side but actively undermines it and also I want some LBGTI+ romance but no smut/explicit scenes". But I'm doubtful TheStoryGraph is going to help them either.

For almost any niche I've seen there's going to be someone somewhere on the internet who puts together a listicle of books in that niche which is going to provide months or years of reading for most normal people. And that's without even looking into the authors' back catalogues or looking at other authors from the same publishers.
I don't see much point in removing library packages, but I'd love to see a tidied-up and cut-down python. Keep it small, simple, and quick. Remove those "features" that provide a silly or second way to do things. Remove things are are (almost) never used.

The essence of python is great, but the system is getting silly - I'd like a version "1". We don't need:

* 2 quite incompatible versions

* multiple different ways to write strings and chars

* strange ways of specifying positional only args

* yet another assignment operator

Yes, it is possible to pin to minor version.

Look at this [go.mod example](https://github.com/ukiahsmith/modbin1/blob/main/go.mod).

The upstream `modlib1` library at v4 has tagged versions for v4.0.0 and v4.1.0. The go.mod file pins the version to the _older_ v4.0.0.

Generally they're used for smaller trash containers like you might find in a bathroom. We use them like this and when they're full they get tied closed (the handles make this easy) and placed in the larger main trash bag in the kitchen.
+1 to that 100%

We are right now in the process of borrowing money from future generations and so reinvesting it (for them) into building a connection between the production/sales and recovery/reuse cycles so we have a single business value chain is a much better long-term strategic return for everyone than whatever empty calorie derivative product wall st bets it all on these days at the moment.

No. Trains must make every station. A low occupancy pod will only diverge from the high speed lane when it has reached a destination or pickup point.

> in a city with a decent subway system that longer journey with a change will still be significantly faster than driving.

I don't think anyone disputes that. But this happens because there is no comparable point to point transit system and the existing road network is inefficient. The point of building tunnels is remove those conflict areas and provide direct point to point routes with very high throughput. If, for the same price you can have similar throughput using individual vehicles, then it makes absolutely no sense cram people into comunal transport, force them into unnecessary stops, changes, and waiting times, making them compete for real-estate prices in transit corridors etc.
Where I live, there’s no manual handling of individual bags by waste management employees. You throw your trash bags directly into a large compactor; from there, it’s handled in bulk.

Where I lived previously, residents brought bags to a warehouse-like building maintained by the town. You dropped your trash through openings in the side of the building that resembled windows. Town employees used tractors equipped with giant claws to scoop up the trash and load it into dumpsters, which were then brought to landfills.

It took me 6 months of 'non corporate work' to get used to the idea of not receiving emails all the time.

It becomes part of your identity and you feel lost without it.

But then you regain something lost - peace of mind.

I can't even imagine what it means to grow up 'fully connected' - sometimes I think that young people must be excessively neurotic, and would be afraid of 'quiet' and think that what was normal for all of human history is now, in one generation - 'bizarre'.

I recommend getting an Android and not using apps. Don't have notifications, but if you want to check something you can.

And it will take 6 months to get used to, but afterwards, you might not be able to fathom going back to the noise.

That's impressive! The video got my attention immediately:

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

> Grab a track from spotify, split into stem files, and then chop it up.

I'm guessing the "AI" plays a role in determining the tempo, vocal/instrument layers, where to chop up the beats.

The first few minutes of the video demonstrates how practical the application is, to drag a file/URL(?) in and start looping, mixing and matching.

It reminds me a bit of Ableton, with their automatic detection and marking of "beats" (amplitude peaks?).

I'd be curious to learn more about the technical aspects. For example, the readme says both Java and Python are required - but I didn't see any Python code in there. I suppose it's bundling an external library, probably for machine learning. I do see Java functions for training models - I wonder what datasets were used, what musical asepcts the pattern recognition works on.

The feature set is extensive, with synthesizers (like TB-303/808/909), sampler, live sessions, record/export - I can see it's a long-term project built up over years. Nice work!
