>How about Oncology? It appears to be making a big difference there

It doesn't really. I'm not aware of any oncology work that has yet been replacement by a machine, a few hype articles aside every year or so.

>Plus there was AlphaGo, which was thought to be impossible, up until the very moment it actually worked, right?

Also no. After the AI winter people were more conservative about when computers would be able to compete in Go, and people generally thought it was five more years away or so. But nobody believed playing go was impossible or even out of reach, why would anyone have thought that
We accept a certain amount of risk in our lives no matter what we do. You personally had the liberty to go out and infect people who were at risk of death from colds, flu and any many others diseases before covid came along and that was never reason for a global shutdown.

Those who don't want to trust others with their lives are welcome to take the precautions that are being asked of everyone at the moment (no household mixing, complete lockdown) the only difference would be it would only be those at risk subjected to the lockdowns.
LOL, on the latest iphone the website is blank!
Works fine for me - maybe it has intermittent errors?
AGPL is a fantastic license. Best for dual-licensing, you still keep your development in the open but you can monetize the code too.
I got stuck trying to explain (without being the annoying "well, actually" guy) why my SO's phone wasn't screwed up when switching from ATT to a different carrier.

Because on the old SIM it said 5G dammit! Now it only says 4G so how is that not slower??
I guess it depends on the product. If you offer something for hackers why not.

Or if we want to ride the stereotypes, something for younger white (or at most Asian/Indian) males.

There are many products that wouldn't fit here at all. I work at a medical start-up and I don't think launching here would have made any sense.

Literally every system that is scaling up is legacy by that metric.
What seems to be missing from the replies posted so far is the notion of coherence, and the choice of measurement basis.

What separates a coherent "quantum" superposition, say, |0> + |1>, from a probabilistic "non-quantum" 50:50 mixture is that I can choose a measurement basis in which the coherent state always yields a definite result, say "1", whereas measuring the mixed state always yields a 50:50 mixture of "0"s and "1"s.

A continuous sweep of the angle of the measurement basis generally results in an interference pattern, the amplitude of which can be used to assess the fidelity of the quantum state.

(I get paid to work on quantum communication and related experiments.)
So learn it. You'll get to practice it with every sentence you ever use.

Conversely, you'll only use 'ballon' when you take about un ballon. I hope that's frequently enough for you to remember the word & its gender. At least it looks like the word 'ball', something you don't get with Vietnamese's 'bóng' or Chinese's '球[1]'

And you'll still get funny looks if you say you're getting ready to go to the New Year's ballon, because substitutions fail with homonyms in both directions. And you'll have to learn and relearn about ten thousand of these substitutions.

[1]maybe?
It’ll be worse than you think it will be.
> This article essentially amounts to a fire-and-brimstone sermon full of questionable statements, things that run directly contrary to established science, and poor argumentation and use of sources

Which claims run contrary to established science? Are the claims you mention that are established agreed upon unanimously, or are there multiple models comprised of competing evidence?
> the quantum case the ball only takes on a color the moment you look at it, and so instantaneously is setting the color in the USA as well

We don't actually know that this is an accurate description of what is happening, although it is consistent with what is happening.

Very likely, the underlying physical process still operates below the speed of light. "Instantaneous" isn't something that makes physical sense in this context.
Take Cantonese (or heck, Teochew or Hakka). You really think this language is reasonably mutually intelligible with Mandarin? Or Shanghainese?

I'm a (non-native, formerly fluent but now pretty poor) Cantonese speaker and I'd describe the difference between Cantonese and Mandarin as roughly the difference between Portuguese and Romanian. Sure, they're both romance languages, and maybe with a lot of work and hand-waving and drawing characters on your hands with your fingers you can get your point across to someone who speaks the other language, but in no way would I call them mutually intelligible, even by talking "slower".

Cantonese and Mandarin have very different pronunciation, vocabulary, and even grammar for common cases. In fact there are extremely common words in Cantonese for which there is no modern chinese character: instead roman words or even single letters (like "D") are substituted in comic strips etc. So you can't even write them down in Chinese for a Mandarin speaker to puzzle through with a dictionary.

I'd say that your perception of these things as "western centric" -- they are not at all -- strikes me as very "northern Chinese centric" view of China. :-)

There's a difference between 5G and Ultrawide 5G. Some carriers in the US, for example, just rebranded their 4G LTE networks as 5G because the top of their speed range is above the minimum required speed for actual 5G.
It's not as true as it's talked up to be, but there is definitely an "Eww, techies" sentiment found among a non-trivial chunk of those that identify as "natives". You run into it a few times and you learn to spot some of the early warning signs.
I take this opportunity to point out Paul Cockshott's book "Towards a New Socialism" where he goes down to detail on how an entire economy could function with cybernetic economic planning. Even if you're not interested in socialism, it still has some great ideas and insights that could be implemented in some sort of social democracy.
The complete book is available here: http://ricardo.ecn.wfu.edu/~cottrell/socialism_book/new_soci...
I see a lot of claims about intentional cuts on Twitter, but wouldn't it take a lot of work to figure out which fibre to cut and then go show up and start digging? A DDoS attack seems like it would be much simpler and probably at least as effective.
why this and not something else
I don't know about your city, so it depends. I wouldn't feel the same way I did in SF, for example.

In NYC you learn quickly what's safe and what's not. I was taught that, at a very early age. You learn how to spot the difference between someone who's homeless and someone who's dangerous. You learn to be aware of your surroundings, you learn to duck into places like shops if you think someone is following you, etc.

It sounds awful listing it out like that, but those were just what we learned growing up. It was just how we took care of ourselves.
XPath works with XML, class is a mini language. We had same problem in JavaScript until classList

$(element).attr("class").split(/\s+/)

It is side effect of one attribute name per element

<a class=foo class=bar>
//*[@class = 'foo']
//*[@class = 'bar']

or having attributes at all

<a>
<class>foo</class>
<class>bar</class>
</a>
//*[class = 'foo']
//*[class = 'bar']

Of course `class` access would be optimized like it is today.
Just going off on a tangent, but Vikings seemed to prefer silver to gold. It’s hard to entangle cause and effect and silver mining in the Middle East around that time, though.

DiffTune: Optimizing CPU Simulator Parameters with Differentiable Surrogates
In many formulations, e.g. multiverse, the apparatus doing the measuring (doesn't have to be a human or anything) becomes entangled with the thing being measured. This is still not super well understood.

If the universe is a mathematical object there being an infinity of universes isn't any more wasteful than there being an infinity of integers for example. From Occam's point of view it's simpler if all integers exist rather than there being a cap if that were even logically possible. So yeah go supermodel!
I live in a midwest city with a population around 25,000. We won't see 5G for a long, long time. We need signal that goes farther, not faster. 4G is still being rolled out to more rural areas. 5G is a feature I'd rather not pay for.
Simplified forms have been common in handwriting for centuries. Korean hanja was also simplified in handwriting when it was in use, even though it never got standardized. The "adoption" thus mostly means the standardization of such established glyphs even in print. (This also partly explains why the second reform in the mainland China [1] wasn't received well and retracted at the end.)

If I understand hinkley's point correctly, it's the constant multiplier (and, in some cases, lower-order terms) that conventional complexity analysis handwaves away as irrelevant because it only looks at the limit as input size goes to infinity.
I guess you got downvoted because the main point of the article is SEO, not react/react-helmet/graphql... Although I have to admit that I asked myself the same question.

It’s a bit of a chicken and egg situation, isn’t it? By getting the chipsets out in the phone they’re at least solving the chicken part. Plus, iPhones are usually supported for a good 5 years, so this is a bit of future proofing for people who buy today.

Are the speeds really that important or are they already good enough? Any time I try to do something substantial over cellular I wish for either better coverage or lower latencies (oh, the latencies... even with great signal strength)

When your business model revolves around marketing and aesthetics, you need to put the extra effort.

You can tell Apple's target demographic isn't enterprise markets at every turn.
I guess the op meant the C as in

Total time = nX + C

No matter how much you optimize X (n here is for instance the number of items), if C is significant then it matters. It is usually harder to optimize the constant C in the OP's experience.
The problem for me comes down to screen time. I spend so much screen time at work programming that I don't think it's healthy to do the same thing as a hobby.

Microsoft hasn't cycled through as many generations of people over the whole company in 15 years as IBM and VW did in 90 years. This should not be a revelation to anyone. Satya Nadella joined Microsoft in 1992. He is worth almost 400 Million USD. He is wealthy in large part due to Microsoft's direction over the last 30 years.

Hi Marko, just a heads up. You might want to consider keeping the JS tracker separately under MIT, since some compliance guy somewhere could consider that embedded usage.
In the US, it's gotta be "bread," as in "bread & honey." I think the "dukes" in "put up your dukes" is also supposed to come from Cockney rhyming slang, but I can't remember how.

I don't see the point of hashing the key instead of picking the lexicographically smaller key. It will have the same effect and comparison is O(n), same as hashing.
> XPath doesn't need to have any dependency on XML capability.

That's an important point, programmatically applying XPath to HTML can be super convenient, while basic CSS selectors are superior, XPath is way better for non-trivial selections, and because CSS was designed in a rather ad-hoc manner it "scales" very badly as new features get grafted on.
Phone, email, messenger, basically any collaboration software? My university assigned email addresses by initials - e.g. if you name was John Anderson Smith and you were the 167th person with the initials JAS, you'd be jas167@example.edu. Which is easier to find, search, and read in a contact list - John Smith or jas167?

Elasticity features depend on the specific housing market but in the basic mental model housing supply can contract in the medium term when demand contracts and vice versa.

Demand is also elastic at least in the sense that people get bigger houses / move on to their own earlier / get roommates depending on the situation.

And geographically people spread out further if prices get high or move in from neighbouring locales which can be seen as demand elasticity if looked at from pov of a local housing market.
It is strange watching average America look at a common IT Issue. There was a Fiber cut. It brought down a network. This happens frequently. Timing sucks, but the average person never sees this so they jump to conspiracies and malicious intent.

What are the top best books on machine learning?
Very impressive technology: With those 4GB per second download speeds I can use up my entire month of data in 250 milliseconds.

On a more serious note: what technology advancements will there be in the next 10-20 years that actually make 5G technology useful?
Because when you learn Japanese, you have to learn kanji, the more traditional strokes (non-simplified), both Japanese and Chinese sounds, and the grammar is closer to Korean (and closer pronunciation for a lot of words).

So, it's better to learn Japanese, quickly pick up Korean, then learn Chinese.

Chinese last since you have to learn simplified characters, the grammar is different, tonality is quite different, etc.
Right now I’m 80% of my way through a 1,000-page Stafford Beer binge (Brain of the Firm - which includes Cybersyn as a case study, Diagnosing the System, and Heart of the Enterprise). Truly ahead of his time. Can recommend The Fractal Organisation by my friend Patrick Hoverstadt also
Sorry if I misrepresented your work.

Honestly I cannot see how to achieve something like Swift UI or Jetpack Composer, without littering Rust code with explicit reference counting.

I am also considering having visual editor in real time, and the ability to have a widget ecosystem that one just drops into the tool palette and can bind its connections in any way, possibly not considered by the widget author.

I am also looking forward to how Microsoft will eventually sort out Rust/WinRT, which has an easier job, given that COM is by definition RC based, but there is the whole usability story when putting it face to face with what .NET and C++/CX offer out of the box (C++/WinRT after 4 years in development is still catching up with VS tooling for C++/CX from 2012).

Agreed. I find it more or less solvable by two things (for me anyway).

1. For longer commitments, I move it to a Tab Group extension (e.g., Tab Group for Chrome) and review every so often

2. If I feel I'm procrastinating I basically try to notice this and force myself to commit to reading the article/paper/what-have-you.

I find it usually takes less time than I had originally thought and _that_ helps me procrastinate less the next time. It works for me most of the time, but always find some tabs get pushed so far to the left they're never seen again.

I see this mantra repeated over and over again? What are these core values of Western nations. Nazism, imperialism, neocolonialism, antifa? Or are you referring to the virtue signalers manifesto?
One could argue that a company like Stripe's target demographic is _precisely_ the enterprise markets; yet, their product pages are slick af! Smooth scrolling, animations and all that jazz.
Because they're made up of folks who love JavaScript (and animations, of course)

Intercom is not a solution. Our house growing up had an intercom in every room. We used it for all of 2 days before we figured out that simply calling someone loudly was simpler.

Not to mention that other device like Alexa already have this.

Its not that gold is worthless, but it might be worth significantly less for you. A sovereign nation could institute a recall of gold devaluing the commodity[1]. A different sovereign nation could invade and take the gold by force.

Both of which have precedent in the last 100 years. Ofcourse if you only read history from the perspective of the winners, gold is always a good long term investment.
