Google Wave used OT, though, not CRDTs. Are you saying that Wave also tried to use CRDTs, but failed?

Wave was disbanded, but the technology was apparently integrated into other things such as Google Docs, which uses OT for collaboration quite succesfully (despite the criticisms in OP's article).

I think you're talking about another kind of seasonality.

The common cold and influenza are seasonal in the sense that most infections occur during some time in the colder months.

The researchers were trying to figure out how long-lived immunity to other coronaviruses is. Their question was not about the severity of cases, but whether a reinfection is possible. They found that in most cases, levels of antibodies against 4 common coronaviruses spiked about a year after the previous infection.

That could either just mean that the patients still had immunity and their immune system was able to quickly produce more antibodies when they came in contact with the virus again.

But it could also indicate a reinfection. In that case, symptoms would be observable.

As symptoms were not recorded, we are unable to tell which case occurred more often.

Here's the actual summary:

"Although many significant challenges remain, the company said construction would be followed by testing and, if successful, building of a power plant that could use fusion energy to generate electricity, beginning in the next decade."

In other words, "very likely" in this case means "if several roadblocks are overcome, it might be a net-positive power generator in a decade". Even so, this is still exciting given how anemic advancement in the fusion space has been for 50+ years.

Yes it's really good to have the economics (mechanism design) and infrastructure in separate layers.

Also, I'd argue more important than even having the hosters is having the content addresses. We need well-known immutable data for people to want in the first place. And traditional system bury data under so much mutation/indirection that it's hard to know what that content is, or that content-addressing even exists.

I highly recommend https://www.softwareheritage.org/2020/07/09/intrinsic-vs-ext..., which is about software heritage trying to get the word out to the larger library/archival/standardization community that content addressing and other "intrinsic" identifiers are possible and desirable.

Git and torrents I think is the best counterexample to the above, and there is probably more legally-kosher git and bittorrent usage, so I am especially bullish on Git hashing being the bridge to a more distributed/federated world.
All data is inaccurate to some degree. This is not new.

There are ways to mitigate false positives, and many of the best SAAS work tirelessly to constantly incorporate every new update and every new technique to try and correct data to make it as clean as possible. The techniques are many and I'm generally not on the cutting edge of that particular niche. But I know people who are.

And it only has to be accurate enough to be profitable.

If I get it right 80% of the time and increase CLV by 30% while increasing marketing costs by a small amount, that's an objective win.

India used to be and still is split into several telecom regions with different spectrum leasing, operations and governance.

Until around 2009-10, when you are traveling out of state, you had to pay roaming charges. Worse used to be metro cities within their own states as they used to be different telecom circles. I used to pay roaming charges when going to Chennai from rest of Tamil Nadu. Even the operators were different sometimes. E.g. there was no Hutch (now Vodafone) originally in rest of Tamil Nadu and they operated only in Chennai. Similarly RPG (later Aircel which went bankrupt couple of years back) had 2 networks - RPG in Chennai and Aircel in rest of Tamil Nadu. It used to be a mess.

No operator had pan-India operation as every small operator had their own fiefdoms and the big operators like Airtel used to pay roaming charges to those operators for their subscribers to get signal.

This all slowly went away only early this decade.

I'm an author of 8 books in Robotics. Here are some of the lessons I have learned from this.

Pros
1) Great visibility in the robotics community
2) Started getting good consulting projects
3) Started getting Royalties(Passive income)
4) People start identifying me in conferences
5) Got the invitation to do research in good universities
6) Got good patience which is very useful while working with the robots
7) Knowledge also doubled (I have to do a lot of homework in order to write things in the book).
8) Self-satisfaction to became an author

Cons
1) Time consuming
2) Need full-time dedication
3) Royalties are very low (only 17% of the book price)
4) Books will easily come online for free download. This will definitely demotivate us to write another book.
5) Books will outdate very easily (Technical books), so you may have to update it by writing a new edition.
6) Getting good income from books is like getting a lottery. It will only happen to a few people.

The list goes on. Just want to share my list of my books here

And this is why I will never get a samsung TV again. When in the market for a new TV, I wanted a OLED and the salesperson kept pointing me towards samsung and its offerings saying they are superior to everyone else. As I had come from a Samsung and started to get ads popping up that I could not disable I realized this was a brand I needed to avoid like the plague. I ended up with a LG and have been enjoying the TV with no pop ups.

As a side note, they do not make a "dumb" TV anymore. I feel like this is a huge market opportunity for a manufacturer to make one as I and many others would be very interested in one. I don't want google play or any tracking crapware on my TV and can gate these things with either apple TV or Roku/media server.

Now you could argue as to whether you want Netflix preinstalled on your TV, but while most smart features of smart TVs are useless, having Netflix is useful for many users.
I'm not a fan of 3rd party either. I think my comments in this thread show that pretty clearly. However, we know that GA data is used to push sales of ads. Cloudflare is claiming that they are making their service without the sale to use of that data.

For those of use that are capable of setting up, maintaining, etc a 1st party analytics package, a 3rd party solution will always bring up questions. For the 99.8% of the rest of the world, someone that allows them to copy&paste a bit of text that allows them a nice GUI to that data with charts and maps and pretty pictures, it is well worth it to them. Add on top that access to those analytics is not shared does seem to be a nice selling point. However, the 99.8% that want this type of service probably doesn't care/know/understand the difference between this and GA.

That's not always a nonstarter. Truly new work might involve establishing an entire supply chain for a product line. Followers can reuse some of your work, if you haven't locked up all of the capacity.

NVidia drivers b0rked rebooting my box for a long time.

A couple of months ago, I removed all the references in apt sources, and followed the newer instructions (several times to get the right driver/cuda/tensorflow match) and my reboots are great, and only one GPU lock up so far (probably due to overheating - I've had to replace a couple of components flag as failed due to the heatwave in summer)

Jupyter hub is just great, I'd like to implement better diagnostics though ... have yet to find a good tutorial for that as yet.
Why is marketing a blight?

Netflix is pretty good at getting shows in front of me that I'm likely to like. Unlike generic TV commercials.

Most Spam email is just that, Spam. They don't try to focus on things that might actually be of value to me. It feels like good marketing is finding that would be of value to me and to get it in front of me in a way that is unobtrusive and enables me to take action (eventually at least).
Also, what about false identifications?

With Face/TouchId it’s authentication, not identification (as there’s only one identity associated with the device).

Yes most people don't seem to realize the hybrid system tends to just shut down at highway speeds. The reason a hybrid car has good highway mileage is because it has skinny tries and good aerodynamics, if you ripped out the hybrid gear its would get even better highway mileage due to less weight.

There is another aspect specifically of gas hybrids they typically use Atkinson cycle engines to increase efficiency but have reduced torque. This makes it ideal for a hybrid setup as the electric motor can make up for the lack of torque off the line.

Notice there are basically no diesel hybrids, this is because a diesel engine is more efficient than a Atkinson cycle gas and has even better torque than a Otto gas but they weigh more and cost more, so it makes little sense to add more weight and cost to a diesel drivetrain that is already very efficient and has plenty of torque. City buses are the exception due to the extreme stop and go low speed duty cycle that can really take advantage of a hybrid drivetrain.
> With a century of universal compulsory education, US adult literacy rates have difficulty cracking 91%.[1] That's about 10 million people with no effective English literacy. (Some are literate in other languages.) Some other industrialised countries see similar results, though most fall at 98% or higher by UNESCO rankings.[2]

I drilled into the literacy reports cited by [1], eventually landing at [3]. From those results, the US is not especially anomalous compared to other countries, although breaking down by nativity does suggest that the US has an anomalously large gap between native-born adults and immigrant adults.

The UNESCO rankings and the PIAAC rankings give substantially different results by observing scores. There's a few countries in both: Chile, Cyprus, Estonia, Greece, Italy, Lithuania, Poland, Singapore, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, and Turkey. Most of those countries are given >99% literacy rates by UNESCO, but have a few percent classified as "Below Level 1" by PIAAC, indicating that UNESCO has a much looser definition than PIAAC.

I can't tell you which ranking is better correlated to what a naïve observer would think of as "literate," but the two rankings are definitely measuring different things.

I think you're making an assumption of participants that are reasonable, rational, and willing to engage in discussion and debate in good faith. But a lot of people are unreasonable, irrational, do not want to discuss, and are really simply entrenched in their belief systems and preaching it.
They still saturate. High-temperature is nice, but a separate consideration.
You are correct. This was semi-frequent before 2008 but the spoofers were often individuals, and the exchange operators usually tolerated them because they did so much volume (Paul Rotter being the most famous).

After 2008, the big algo traders got involved and spoofing was a huge issue because algos are often based on market depth. And the law was changed overnight (and the heavy-handed way that the federal govt came down on individuals, often at the request of algo traders, is unusual).

Just generally: "spoofing" was always seen as unethical but it rarely mattered before 2008 because humans learned fairly quickly that when someone piled in orders around the price, it wasn't necessarily real. Equally, what we have also seen is that certain order types that were being used to conceal intention from algos (concealing your intention is a fundamental part of how markets operate) were also being lumped in with "spoofing".

On JPM specifically, everyone knew they were spoofing for decades before this. I am not aware of an IB that did spoofing like JPM, and the reason why is that they did a ton of volume in these markets and used spoofing to control the price.
There’s been rumors of this, but it’s not confirmed. A big percentage of the cost of the 3090 (and 3080) is the GDDR6X. A 3080 with 20GB of GDDR6X will still be really expensive, so it’s unclear to me that they will actually release something like that. Potentially they could put that much RAM on a card and then use slower GDDR6, but that’s kind of an odd part in Nvidia’s product offerings because then the 3080 with more RAM would be slower in a lot of situations.
The shareholders are part of the bad actor, because the shareholders control the board, and it's the board's job to police the company, and to make sure that it's actually ran well, and isn't just a free-for-all frat party.

If the shareholders cared to avoid these sorts of judgements, they'd require that the firm operate more conservatively.
A big thing though is how cheap they can make this. The Idemia one seems a lot more expensive. Driving down costs on existing technology is innovation. (Although who knows how much this actually costs to amazon)
I am well aware of that, but when the video comes with no slides and not even a summary, you can guess that they were not paying hundreds of dollars to have it professionally transcribed, and you can also guess that humans were not involved anywhere in the process (either to generate or review it) when they, say, phonetically transcribe fairly common technical jargon which is written prominently on the slide which has been fullscreened for the past minute in the video.

(Is it really so hard to believe that the usual neural network progress curve has happened for speech transcription and that the future is already here, just unevenly distributed across videos?)
Nix does this simply and stupidly --- if you can observ it, it's part of the cache key.

This is wonderful because it's totally sound. All efficiency methods (basically, hiding things, as the other comment says) is left to the build plan itself.

Legitimate according to who? Isn't any opposition to a government illegitimate opposition? Or exclusively legitimate, depending on how you feel about the concept of government itself.

We hired this guy who wrote a book on the thing the team he was hired for managed. He was a nightmare. He was just insufferable. People would ask questions and he would suggest they read his book. He would mention his book in every meeting. He would tell people they couldn't do things they'd already done and then back-peddle that it wasn't possible when he'd written his book. It was just a huge drag. He managed to also be terrible in other ways and has since been canned. I pity any future applicants that come into an interview with the managers that had to deal with that guy planning to lean on their book during the interview. There's a good 50 people in the company with a real bad taste in their mouths from him.
Of course not. You're free to suggest what you like. I'm not going to say something here and put thegrimmest into a list because I disagree with you and think you should pay extra for your flights.

/But/, and there's always a but, I do think the trend towards shutting people down who you don't agree with is terrible. Pragmatic debate seems impossible online, and let's face it, that's how we're all communicating now. When there is the risk of social backlash affecting your livelihood, you'll keep your ideas and opinions to yourself, even if they could be useful to society.

I mean, anyone who thinks the ideals of today are without flaw, just wait til the year 2100 when they'll be seen as backwards.
I think you have some problem of low self esteem or have been brainwashed by the anti-intelectual crowd. Of course writing a book is not a magical think, but it shows that you have technical knowledge about the subject (if the book is any good). Any reasonable employer would be glad to have this kind of people. If they don't, I would suspect that it is a sweatshop.
Really hope this develops into a full-fledged competitor to Plausible/Matomo/Fathom/Simple, which are way overpriced at scale. Would also like to see it keep more than a week of data for historical (anonymized) comparison.

I've also never seen an analytics product that attempted to deduplicate or correlate data between server logs and JavaScript beacons, for example to count the number of cached PWA visits or display a percentage of users with JS disabled. Cloudflare is uniquely positioned to do this robustly.

Welcome to India, It happens in India.

Not just in Media outlets, it happens in our textbooks, invaders are praised and native people are shamed. Nothing changed now, you can just pull any History text-book from CBSE, and check it for yourself.

India also have a book on logic(Nyaya Shastra), which would astonish any intellectual.

Anyhow, I have deviated from topic:

My point is they shame India, Modi without any reality on ground.
