Google has a nice little Easter egg if you google "recursion". (It does miss the base-case component of recursion as noted above, but still, it's good for a laugh..)
,,The performance of reversible programming automatic differentiation is much better than most traditional frameworks.''

It would be good to see a ResNet training benchmark comparison with PyTorch as an example if this is really true.
Who the heck thought up that term, "Iron Curtain"?

I could see "Iron Wall". Or "Iron Doorway". But curtain? Why?

Oh cool - tweets from that account show up 28 times in my timelapse I made of tweets since last night (out of 13,976 tweets): https://twitter.com/Omar4ur/status/1315325135990202369
You can do the opposite, include your message (or a digest of it) in a medium that is hard to alter, for example a newspaper, notaries, Twitter, a blockchain, etc (or preferably a combination of those). Some of those solutions don't prevent you from publishing multiple versions of the message and only revealing one however.

On the other hand if you're trying to show that you did something (not just authored a message) at a given time, it's a bit harder, because you can always notarize the video long after it has been recorded. The best way to deal with this one (in the absence of trusted parties that might attend in-person) might be to do it in a public place e.g. in the library while a specific event is happening, on the street while some specific work is being done, in front of a newspaper stand in a shop etc. However I can see any of those faked using video editing.
Presumably by “trade in New York” you mean there’s an ADR (so you’re still trading within your account, but for a separate security).

Edit: because otherwise you’d need to also wire transfer, right? (Not saying this isn’t rational, just asking).

Looks like all the major Canadian banks are a good option for this (https://seekingalpha.com/article/93201-11-top-canadian-divid...).
We would need statistics to assert one way or another. I suspect it’s the opposite: give people the means to easily maintain their own communication networks completely out of view of the government, and some will abuse it for other kinds of low level crimes beyond petty drugs: stalking, for instance.

I’d also bet that many criminals (those beyond petty drug pushers) aren’t even sophisticated enough to understand what’s at play here, and will use FB messenger regardless of the encryption implementation. In this case, offering a means to recover encrypted comms in exceptional, warrant-backed circumstances would only be of help towards criminal investigations.
It's weird to me to see all this affection for CRTs here. I had a "flicker free" 120 Hz CRT and I could still easily see it flicker and got headaches when using it for more than a few hours.
To answer the revised question:

Propaganda is simply influential speech that someone takes steps to distribute. Not all propaganda is bad, or even disagreeable. Typically it is not literally the state of being propaganda that makes propaganda concerning, but instead, it’s the the agenda that the propaganda is espousing that is of concern.

For example, some propaganda is good and had an agenda that is widely agreeable — e.g. many things produced by the Ad Council.

Few would think it is reasonable for the US to prohibit its government from doing things that it believes is in its own interest.

Tl;dr: it’s because countries don’t prohibit themselves from doing things they think is a good idea.
My favorite book on investing is The Intelligent Asset Allocator by William Bernstein. This is what made me aware of issues in correlations.

I still believe in diversification. If an ETF is sufficiently diverse I will buy the ETF. Some ETFs are not - XLE is nearly 50% Chevron and Exxon!

You should also read Taleb if you want to understand the fallacy of unsystematic risk. He is difficult to read because of his overinflated ego but he has some persuasive ideas.
On the other hand, the URL for a common library hosted on cdnjs (or one of the other big JavaScript CDNs) and included on many different websites is much more likely to already be cached on edge servers close to your users than if you host the file yourself.
Without real examples this just gives more reasons to load big libraries, such as jquery, from popular CDNs.

Let’s take jquery for example;

Speed - if everyone loaded jquery from the official CDN, considering the usage of jquery is high, you’re very likely to get a speed improvement.

Faster website = happier customer (and happier search engine, which could mean more customers)

That to me is enough.

But... I do agree that if everyone uses that CDN and it gets compromised everyone is in trouble.

That to me is enough reason not to use it. The article doesn’t do this one any justice IMO + it’s a personal decision because major CDNs don’t get compromised every day, so convenience might win here.

By "monitors" you mean TVs? Or did you buy some of the $3-4k monitors that seem to be available?

At a quick google there's nothing under 3k and they're either 21" (too small) or 55" (fine for console gaming but not for programming if you ask me).

In my view, it will be what always happens. I'm a year round commuting cyclist in the upper Midwest, so I see bike traffic go up and down with the seasons and the weather. In addition to the cold, there's also the darkness.

The coldest month is January, and by that point, you only see the die-hards. It's not just psychological, but also requires being prepared to deal with the cold, ice, and road salt. For instance I have a dedicated winter bike with studded tires, and a pre-rusted chain. ;-) Oddly enough, the people who are out in the worst weather always seem to have the biggest grins on their faces.

So while I feel smug about being one of the die-hards, I also don't even try to encourage people to ride through the winter until they've at least acclimatized themselves to riding regularly in normal weather.
People are using cloud servers for the purpose of running self hosted applications. One of the problems is often at the backbone of self hosting is a NAS containing sizeable files such as video. Most internet connections are quite limited speed wise and having it internal to the network works a lot better. The one exception being offsite backup.

The big cloud providers are also all far too expensive and complicated to be worthwhile for this sort of hosting where substantially cheaper and less capable providers will do the job more than adequately. Smaller and cheaper offers like from Hetzner and Contabo VPS are much more likely to be used in my experience with the self hosting community.

I host a bunch of stuff on my home NAS/server and ultimately did away with google and a lot of other cloud services and restored my privacy over the past couple of years with software like NextCloud and FreshRSS.
That's a weird world view. University of Sussex researchers are "biased" but you link to the Nuclear Innovation Alliance?

Green New Deal isn’t an energy or environmental program. It is a greenwashed policy proposal that includes essentially the entire far left’s agenda - it uses the word “justice” affixed to many different causes and the cause of environmental protection (rebranded as “environmental justice”) and a dose of mental gymnastics to drag in many unrelated policy proposals that are part of either the social justice or socialist agenda.

If we want to expedite environmental protection, what we need is an unbundling of individual policy proposals from GND, which will speed up adoption of the pieces that matter (like supporting nuclear energy) without all the controversial social justice or socialist cruft riding on it.
Yes! I think the ability to watch lower-res video (even 480p) on them and still have a decent picture is what I miss the most.

One thing to consider - you could oversize the reactor and have grid hookups available in the harbor so that these ships can provide generation capacity while they are just sitting around. While they are out at sea, the nuclear reactor system could have a secondary mode that is more efficient/safe/etc for seafaring operations.
Blatantly anticompetitive. It’s sad to see the once underdog services you love turn into the “evil side”. I hope the US DOJ and EU competition commission go after them hard.

My understanding is that FB (for example) would hold the keys and turn over only when compelled via warrant. Not mass surveillance.

Also, Snowden’s propaganda has worked like a charm in sowing discord in American society. Without a doubt, even if you support his actions and cause 100%, concurrently the Russian government consider the NSA to be the crown jewel of the IC. And Snowden’s actions and ongoing politics support Russia’s long term “Active Measures” campaign against the United States.
60Hz wasn't really a default for long though? Most CRTs in Windows 9x era would do 75Hz or 85Hz if you didn't push them above their native resolutions.
This is pretty cool - I hope more people adopt this. My initial reaction was "It's kind of weird to just hop into a video call not knowing what to expect on the other end" but it's no weirder really than...walking into a store (the "door bell ringing" metaphor is what it made it click for me).

But also it would just be great to replace the generic sales meeting that currently happens over Zoom/Meet with this - you could do a lot of fun things with this, like a customized lobby that lets you play with the product while you wait/talk for example.
Small feedback, on my end the contrast makes it very hard to read the names of the companies over the slides.
Though funny, it doesn’t really move the conversation forward.

I was so happy when I figured out how to switch to 60 Hz. Living in a PAL region I was stuck at 50 Hz. Later on PC I cranked up the Hz as high as it would go while still display something.

And yes, the flicker is easy to spot if you just sit in front of the screen and look just above it, prefferably in a dark room. Or wave your hand in front of it. With LED lightbulbs you can also use your phone camera, move it realy close to the lamp and if you see banding, it's not good.
To me there were "tells" - the mouths in particular looked unnatural. I wonder if we will soon see competing technology: deep-fake detectors trained by deep fake creators?
I think the implication is that the Nuclear Innovation Alliance is biased but still making a good point.
I've generally found the Julia community less welcoming than some (Rust, Python), although much better than the "classics" (C,C++,Java and friends).

For example, picking the first question I can see on discourse (which isn't a clear technical question, it was number 3) is "What is the status of debugger?". The first answer is "I've used Julia for 3 years and I don't need a debugger" whereas searching for similar questions on the Rust discourse tends to find answers.

This isn't a complete investigation, it might just be me generalising from my small number of interactions with the Julia and Rust communities.

This is exactly what I use SongShift for :D

Apple's "New Music Mix" is absolute shit compared to Spotify's "Discover Weekly". Most of the stuff Spotify suggests to me are either complete bangers or listen-worthy at worst.

Apple's stuff though... It's like they don't have ANY intelligence in the system at all. I listen to 80's gangsta-rap once, then I get modern mumblerap shit for months and months.

BUT I do love how Apple Music integrates with my iOS devices and I think the sound quality is better. So I just use Songshift to sync the discovery playlists to AM (semi)automatically.
While I think that the COVID has triggered a genuine level of interest in cycling, I also think it has been compounded by supply chain disruptions. Bikes are low margin items, which means they probably ship by container, are also shipped seasonally, so even possibly the delay of one or two ship loads in early Spring could disrupt the entire industry.

Show HN: Scheme for Max – Script and Live Code Max/MSP and Ableton Live
Scheme For Max is an open source external for Max/MSP, enabling the user to script Max and/or Ableton Live in realtime with S7 Scheme. Max/MSP is a data-flow audio visual programming platform, which has been around since the 80's and is the most widely used academic music programming platform, as well as the extension platform for Ableton Live through Live For Max.

Scheme For Max embeds the S7 Scheme interpreter, a minimal Scheme lisp created by Bill Schottstaedt at CCRMA, the Stanford computer music centre. It is also used in the Common Music algorithmic composition toolkit, and one of the goals for Scheme For Max is complete support for CM in Max.

Scheme for Max fills several important niches in Max:
- Because Scheme semantics map very well to Max semantics, it is possible to create code on the fly in Max messages and send to the interpreter in real time
- As it is open source, adding new Scheme callables in C is possible
- Unlike the JS or Node for Max objects, it runs in the high priority thread (if triggered there), and so is usable for high precision timing tasks (ie sequencers)

Scheme For Max is also my thesis project for a Master's in Music Tech and the University of Victoria, working with Dr Andrew Schloss and Dr George Tzanetakis, and will have at least one release per academic semester. The next release will be focused on sequencing tools, with direct table and buffer i/o and sample accurate scheduling of Scheme functions in the Max scheduler.

Both Apple Music and Spotify have a bunch of curated playlists, which are pretty good.
And what happens to those pop up bike lanes when the furlough money runs out, the tube is still unusable and the cars return with a vengeance? The Beeb are too quick to praise the weak actions of local governments here. Given a generation of people who care about the environment, the availability of practical e-bikes, and the very clear model shown by the Netherlands, this really was the chance of a lifetime and they blew it. This was the summer when central governments should have introduced bike friendly legislation and locked in the long term budgets needed to gradually rebuild the permanent infrastructure in every town and city.
Quic also has a window size.

> QUIC congestion control has been written based on many years of TCP experience, so it is little surprise that the two have mechanisms that bear resemblance. It’s based on the CWND (congestion window, the limit of how many bytes you can send to the network) and the SSTHRESH (slow start threshold, sets a limit when slow start will stop).

The problem with monitors is much more with the display industry's preference for finding new ways to scam customers instead of commercializing display technology improvements.

The history of LCD monitors and TVs is a history of the industry increasing prices while finding new corners to cut by removing functionality that reviewers and users didn't know they needed to test for.

When users first realized that IPS was vastly superior to TN for most purposes, the industry responded by making low-quality 6-bit IPS panels, which the industry happily described as 'IPS' without disclosing that the panels can't display color gradients--and often flickered badly due to FRC. Early 6-bit panels were worse than TN in everyday use.

6-bit IPS is now essentially unavoidable in smaller, non-4K, screens.

Another fun scam the display industry concocted was releasing one production run of good quality 8-bit IPS monitors, to get positive professional reviews and user word of mouth, then making subsequent production runs under the same model number with 6-bit fraud-IPS, PVA, or even TN panels.

The low-frequency PWM backlighting scam (which probably saves all of ten cents per display) is now known well enough that reviewers will test for it, but the industry has developed other ways of preventing users from purchasing good-quality hardware at a fair price.

Dynamic contrast is a particularly insidious problem. This piece of joy from the display industry changes the backlight intensity and RGB pixel values depending on screen contents. As a result, the color tint of the display changes depending on screen contents. These constant color shifts make dynamic contrast monitors unusable for even non-professional design/photo/video work and prevents color calibration entirely. This technology is even applied, with no user option to disable it, to monitors sold as sRGB pre-calibrated and marketed towards mid-range color work. Officially, dynamic contrast is intended to save energy, but the actual intent is likely to force people who want stable colors to buy professional displays at ten times the price.

A new scam that's emerged since the start of the pandemic is color gamut restriction; it's now very difficult to get displays--especially laptop displays--that support more than 50% of the sRGB gamut. Displaying actual red is now something the industry has decided to exclusively paywall into professional panels targeted at the design market.

The problem with displays isn't technology; it's an industry that's built on the premise of ripping off consumers.
60 fps games look and play obviously better than 30 fps games, to anyone. For something like a first person shooter, 90 fps feels obviously better than 60, I think to most people. In VR, meaningful latencies get even lower. I don't think we're really at the pro-athlete-gear types of improvement with most display technology yet.
Muddled.
These are the 5 Advantages and Disadvantages of working under pressure
That's exactly what happened to me with my first car. I was considering a Mazda MX-3, learned in the dealer that it was disontinued, walked by the neighbour Toyota dealer and in half an hour I went from "too expensive" to "I want it already", even if it's white.

I've made a quick research and it seems that painting a car costs no more than two thousand euros, probably less. Next time, I will buy the white version (cheapest) and it will go to painting right away. I don't like the out of the box options anyway.

Heh, everything is better on Tubes whether it is guitar amps or gaming monitors? :-)

I can pretty much assure you that with a 240Hz refresh rate 4K LCD monitor it will look better than your CRT :-) But it is perfectly valid to say "What is the best experience I can get for $X?" and find that CRT solutions out perform LCD solutions at various price points.

That said, I suspect it is less about the "superiority" of the CRT than it is about the corners cut by the LCD manufacturer in terms of display fidelity. A lot of the early "high res" displays got there by sacrificing video image quality.

That those monitors aren't great for gaming is not surprising, it is also not surprising if that was the only monitor you've ever gamed on, when you saw gaming on a better image experience you would be impressed.

If you consider the amount of RAM and processing power you have to have inside the monitor at 4K resolution you start to understand why there is a thing like nVidia's G-Sync technology. That is a lot of bits to throw around. Similarly, a monitor that processes the 4k video stream down to 1080p, and has 10 or even 12 bit dynamic range on the pixels with full motion emulation might give you a better looking display than a 4K display.

So many ways to optimize for particular markets.
