ApproxiPong: An informal review of reinforcement learning algorithms
Interesting read although I am not a part of this world. The thing that caught my attention was the part about many very dumb professors. How true can this be? I have met some that were not the best, and maybe because of it arrogant, but it sounds a bit too harsh or with the bar being set too high.

The part about life being short and spending it on things we enjoy hit me hard because I feel the same way and can't hide it anymore. Yet, I can't really do that.
thought this would be useless griping of sonos that has existed for years now. no, this is new and valuable information. glad i got rid of sonos long ago.
I’ve seen this happen everywhere, every country has their own version of English, where they use English words but not how they should be used.

Notable examples for me are “smart working” in Italy to refer to “work from home” and “maintain cleanliness” in the Philippines instead of “keep clean.” Both phrases irk me every time I hear them.

I think every language learner should go through a list of false cognates [1] to tighten up their dictionary once they reach a certain level. I’m learning Spanish now and the amount of words that seem identical to Italian but have a different meaning is astounding.

I don’t know if this qualifies as “unconventional” but I have had tremendous success increasing my physical exercise daily. I’m not entirely sure if it’s just daily exercise or goal setting (in my case it was the somewhat ambiguous ‘10k steps a day’) or maybe a mix of both, but it evened out my mood significantly and had a strong effect on my depression.

What you say may be legally correct but unethical. I am not sure how Apple can ethically defend their stand given the current economic environment and in general from an environmental impact perspective. Reduce and reuse are as important as recycling.

Unless there is a risk in using these devices which outweigh the environmental and economic benefits, this seems to not be a good move by Apple.

Worth to mention that inflation is more sneaky than it seems. It has been partially mentioned with the degradation of the quality of stuffs or services bought.

What's odd to me is wireless and self-contained/smart as a selling feature. I know there's some appeal in some of the integration and multi-room features, but there are plenty of platforms offering those features in a wired format with far more flexibility and choice. I feel like even if I had an infinite budget, something like Sonos doesn't feel like a great solution.

The higher-end you're going on audio, the more static things become. Yeah, you might take your iPhone dock or Bluetooth speaker and move it around, but if you spend $1000 on speakers (or 10k on building a listening room), you're gonna want the speakers in the sweet spot and left there. If I'm working with that constraints, why is having a wireless smart speaker I have to tether to a phone or hub any better than if I had just ran speaker wire to a receiver? Especially since it still has to be wired for power.

At least I know my amplifier isn't spying on me or monetizing my endless appetite for Rise Against. Because it was built in 1980 but still sounds as good as anything in the same price class today.

When I was in middle school my brother started playing half-life 1 followed by counter-strike. This got me into playing counter-strike, and then eventually damn near all other half-life mods. This just generally helped my computer literacy as eventually I would learn how to mod existing mods.

Slowly I started to come to terms with the idea that I too could build things like the half-life community had done. I bought myself a huge book on C++ and went through it about 3 times. Then bought another 2 C++ books and started making small projects (tic tac toe, pong, game of life, tetris, etc).

I decided that I'd probably enjoy doing it as a career. I went into web development because that seemed like the path of least resistance. I always had a peripheral understanding that Linux was a thing, but I tried out Ubuntu briefly in 2012 and ended up breaking the install due to my unfamiliarity with it.

In 2013 I was applying for jobs and one of them had a requirement for you to download a git repo, make a few changes, and then submit a pull request. While doing this my laptops hard drive died. Fortunately my laptop had two drives -- one was a 20 gig SSD which housed Windows (this one died), and one was a 500 gig drive which housed all the data. I had a deadline by which I had to submit the change, so I decided to install Linux (Mint this time) on the working drive and continued from there. I ended up liking Linux Mint a lot, it's what all my devices still use today.

That’s not a normal college expense, and in fact a lot of schools with expenses that high do so while offering means-based scholarships. So when you read a story about someone at a $60K school paying $60K, usually it’s a signal that you’re reading a story from a very wealthy individual circumstance — not to opine positive vs. negative but context is important.

My wife has bipolar and I've got ASS. Remember that you're your own person in the first place, period. You're not your label, you merely /have/ a label. TFA makes this mistake from the outset in the title. It should've read "having" not "being".

There's no cure for these labels, but one can recover. To quote Patricia Deegan:

Recovery does not refer to an end product or result. It does not mean that one is “cured”. In fact, recovery is marked by an ever-deepening acceptance of our limitations. But now, rather than being an occasion for despair, we find that our personal limitations are the ground from which spring our own unique possibilities. This is the paradox of recovery i.e., that in accepting what we cannot do or be, we begin to discover who we can be and what we can do. Thus, recovery is a process. It is a way of life. It is an attitude and a way of approaching the day’s challenges. It is not a perfectly linear process. Like the sea rose, recovery has its seasons, its time of downward growth into the darkness to secure new roots and then the times of breaking out into the sunlight. But most of all recovery is a slow, deliberate process that occurs by poking through one little grain of sand at a time.

Only you are the expert of you. That said, there exist recovery colleges that can provide peer support. You're not alone.
So if they don’t know the key or where to find it, how is that “publicly known”?
I've read the article and as far as I understand they use my location and data all around my music listening. (I don't have voice enabled)

To me that's not a dealbreaker, it may be to you.

I've got a few Sonos speakers, and all around they sound great, so I can only recommend them! I've also never had any troubleshooting to do with them.

Kubernetes Audits Introduction

> Humans don’t need structured data to exchange information

Maybe we don't need it, but it often helps.

Also, this data format isn't necessarily for humans to exchange data with other humans, but for humans to give data to applications in a format that's much easier for humans to use.

> if this is insufficient to communicate it to the machine

Not at all. Each specific application can easily parse this data format according to its own needs. What this data format doesn't specify is a single translation into application data that is the same for all applications. But applications don't need or want that, because they have different use cases.
People are. And history is the judge.

Cash For Clunkers also made the average price of a used car go up significantly.

This really impacts poor / low-income families and individuals- lots of people can barely afford to feed, clothe, and house themselves, and the increasing costs of transportation can really really sting, and may make it harder for them to find stable employment.

The financial stimulus of Cash For Clunkers is now long-gone, but poor people- and, for that matter, teenagers buying their first vehicle- are still feeling the aftershocks of it in the form of higher vehicle prices across the board.

What they're doing is no different to what other people do. They're just doing it by in billions of dollars instead of thousands.

Every day, people take the easy choice, they go for the quick buck, they ignore inconvenient evidence of problems they don't want to admit, they maximise their own returns and minimise their risks, they justify and minimise their own failings.

The issue here isn't that these people were people. The issue is that they were left unsupervisored and simply "trusted" to get on with it.

The issue isn't with referring to colors on a chart by name but with using a color name as the sole identifier. Referring to parts of a chart by color is fine, and provides additional information, as long as a line style or shape identifier is also used, e.g., the "blue solid line" and the "orange dashed line" in the case of a line plot or the "blue circles" and the "orange squares" in the case of a scatter plot. Ideally, I think color swatches should also be included when referring to colors, so it isn't necessary to match the name to the color [1].

Excellent write-up! If one is looking for a better alternative, just buy a modern receiver with airplay 2 built in and pair it with some decent speakers. Not only will that sound better by an order of magnitude, you'll have the option of upgrading your system over time.

I admit that Sonos has the high ground when it comes to convenience, but after reading this and being burned by their bricking policy on older devices, one is far better off with a traditional 2.1 set up (at least for a living area).
In Milwaukee there just isn’t enough tax dollars to pay to fix the roads, replace lead pipes, upkeep for museums, parks, police, fire etc. Some of this is pension problems, so of it is likely government spending more than they had in the 50s for large public projects that now need complete rebuilds with no funds to do so.
I just got a few smart speakers as well and avoided Sonos. Decided to go all in on AirPlay 2.

JBL Link Music devices are about $70 right now and support AirPlay 2 only operation with no need for another app, just the built-in Home app. I picked up 3 locally from Home Depot and I’m happy with ‘em. They also have 5 GHz Wi-Fi and the connection a bit better than the 2.4 GHz AirPort Express when far away from my AP.

And if you already use Google Home, these work with it too with Chromecast built-in, but it’s optional. I just kept them AirPlay 2 only.

I also use hard wired Ethernet on AirPort Express devices as AirPlay 2 receivers. They all mix together nicely. Planning to add wired outdoor speakers with a spare one.
But inconsequential compared to changing the law.
I must say I do not understand the hostile replies to my previous comment.

Like it or not, the law mandates something and thus that must be complied with.

Now, despite what some people might like to think, the police do not barge in and arrest people as soon as they notice that they are not keeping logs. If they do arrest someone for this that person is a repeat offender or someone who's in police's sight for serious criminal activity.

That's simply the mundane reality. Of course reality does not lend itself well to outrage....

If I understand it right, in the example of clamping a serial line under a monitor, the wires will exhibit higher resistance at higher frequencies, thereby less current flows at higher frequencies. Less high-frequency current in the serial line means less radiation and less interfering current induced on wires inside the monitor.

Wouldn’t that be to detriment of signal integrity on receiving end of the serial line? Is it so that only higher harmonics are affected, which is okay?

Why did I hear putting ferrite on USB cable will improve signal integrity? Is that nonsense?

Keller's Conjecture Resolved by Translating It into Satisfiability Problem
> They didn't. We already had multiple app stores for J2ME, Windows CE and Symbian apps before Apple started the trend of locking things down.

There were no "App Stores" for J2ME apps, per se. You certainly could buy and install apps from ISVs, but they were heavily locked down based on carrier policy. I developed apps for WinCE, Palm and Blackberry and the carrier-mandatory permissions were strict depending on the jurisdiction. The devices that weren't restricted were e.g. WinCE devices that were sync'd and not network connected.

Apple just took the decades old old trend started by console manufacturers and applied it to Mobile.

> Furthermore, there are many layers between them and where much of the wrongdoing took place, so they may or may not have had any involvement in the "villainy".

Or perhaps they had involvement, but it was too abstract to register as obviously "villainy" in their conscience.

> But I for one would expand to say that this type of destruction should be illegal. We should not be mass destroying usable devices.

No. That's just wrong. First, just the contract itself should be enough. The customer wants these devices destroyed, and the recycler agreed and took the money to destroy them - they can't just renege on that deal. They took the money to destroy them. Full stop - we're done here.

Why would Apple want these devices destroyed? Well .. many reasons. Maybe they can't guarantee safety of those devices. Electronics, especially with high-capacity batteries need to pass rigorous standards to be sold on the market. If Apple expects these devices to be destroyed, they will not be performing any safety checks. If one of these devices blows-up and kills a customer - who is liable?

There are other reasons why Apple may want them destroyed. Maybe these devices will put pressure on their support and warranty services. Or maybe many of these devices have structural issues that cannot be fixed fully leading to bad end-user experience with the product. Or maybe those devices on the market will eat into their market share. Or a bunch of reasons (good or bad) that neither you nor I can come up with because we don't know actually know that business (so why are you arm-chair quarterbacking this?)

>Force the company to ship them to a developing country or somewhere else where it won't hurt your sale of new phones as much, but stop destroying the planet for $$$

You can seriously impact a local or a national economy of a developing nation when a rich nations dumps crap it doesn't want on your market. Most developing nations will have anti-dumping laws as well.
> The OP writes that Sonos speakers can function without an internet connection which is entirety untrue

Afraid you’ve got this a little wrong. It depends entirely on what music services you use.

It’s quite possible to use Sonos speakers without an internet connection if you use something like AirPlay, a local NAS, or an audio in (e.g. TV or Record Player).

If you wanna use a streaming music service like Spotify, then obviously they need an internet connection. Unless of course you stream via your phone using AirPlay, but your phone will probably still need an internet connection.
