Thank you for your support, feedback and your thoughts.
I totally understand your concerns - and in some ways I also share them.
Of course patient advice should not (at least not more then to some extent) rely on "what everybody else thinks".
But as mentioned above, for some patients it is a big support to atleast get an understanding what "in general" is seen as asthetically pleasing.
Furthermore, decision taking is not just up to the patient. There are also many "surgical" decisions that have to be taken - sometimes even during surgery as not everything can always be planned in advance (e.g. tumor size is bigger -> more resection is need and thus reconstruction also changes).
Decisions like "do we correct the areola asymmetry now that we see there is one after reconstruction" are quite common during surgery - and so far, decisions are mostly based on surgeon preferences unfortunately.
If we can get a better understand on what parameters matter more for aesthetical perception, decision taking is improved in many different ways - not the patient-related part of it.
I hope that explanation helps! Thank you so much for the great support!
Its truly very nice :) So much horrible preprocessor stuff goes away. Not that preprocessing cant be done right, its just that the standard C/C++ preprocessor language breaks almost every rule of a maintainable code.

I love compiler sanity checks of math operations with static asserts, and stuff like compile checking for ub and cdb.

constexpr int signed_int_fixed_yet(){ // compiler error
return std::limits<int>::max +int(1);
}

tuplify<PodType>() is wonderful too.

Just a shame it adds so much boilerplate though, like why couldnt every function have the same constexpr if possible property as lambdas, and is so damned slow and costly to compile. I also keep writing half of a nice interface, then running into template recursion depth, or gcc failing to compile correctly/(identically to clang).

Its also still a bit too limited. Like, consider the case where everything is known compile time:
int a=5; // lets say sizeof(a) =4
a<<64; // should be compile error, not ub
for(int i=0;i<64;++i) a<<i; // should be compile error,
// note that either line above can be removed by the compiler. Leaving a=5;

template<class T, int R,int C> Matrix{
std::array<T,RC> data;
// constexper // should be automatic
T operator(int row, int col){
if is_constexpr_in_context(row) // now wouldnt this be nice...
static_assert(row<R,""); // only if row is constexpr argument
return data[rowC+col];
}
};

Matrix<double,3,4> m;
auto a=m(1,2) // row is known compiletime, compiler will warn, should be compile error
m(a+3,0) // also known compiletime(array default init to 0), should warn, should be compile error
for(int r=0;r<3;++r)
for(int c=0;c<6;++c)
a+=m(r,c); // oob known compiletime, should warn...

Its not like this is that hard either, just transform the statements to use m.at<r,c>() and it works, so its just the compiler identifying constexpr context automatically as for lambda and replacing functions with their argument templated equivalents, and autogenerating these functions. It cant fix everything, but the number of errors people made when using such libs would massively decrease, especially since templated matrix classes are almost universally have visible definitions, and it often applies.
I dislike the mere concept of Super Mario Run; from what I know of it it's one of the most cynical examples of mobile games; minimal gameplay, maximal monetization. I mean I get that some games you have to dumb down a bit for mobile but that one takes the cake.

Anyway, my personal recommendation for a short but fun game would be the original Pico-8 version of Celeste; it's relatively small but uses the maximum capacity of the Pico-8 platform. A first playthrough can take a few tries and up to an hour, but it can be done within two minutes; I think me and a colleague of mine got below the two minute mark:

What has even higher potential to be cheap is nuclear energy - when you don't care as much about (operation, storage) safety, a lot of costs fall out ...

Nuclear energy has high fixed costs but then scales pretty well. As crypto currencies with PoW become a major industry, it's not difficult to imagine it might be cost-effective to build huge nuclear plants in some corrupt African country. (Africa has also huge untapped uranium ore deposits)
I think a global mesh network is inevitable - every thing is going to talk to the devices around it (and eventually to wired humans) all the time wirelessly.

It'd be nice if it were not in the control of any corporation.

How can we make that happen?
Do you, like, not exercise or something? Do you walk really slowly, so you don't need a lot of air? Are your lungs just dryer than most people's? Do you never wear glasses, sun or optical?
I love the article, but I don't agree with the premise that machine learning equals neural nets. In my understanding machine learning is a very broad term that just as well could be applied to the polynomial model if the constants were optimized algorithmically. I feel like the presented argument is more for transparent vs opaque models rather than machine learning vs something else. Also one could argue that the polynomial model is just a perceptron[0].

Not really. It's completely trivial, if extremely slow (which the article acknowledges) to emulate an ALU in software, with access to a single, universal hardware gate. Why don't they just say "we put a NOR gate on a chip, then added all this other stuff (RAM, boot EEPROM, etc.) to make it function as a computer." That would, at least, be a non-misleading statement of the claim.
This might be a very clever and cheap form of STEM outreach. It's cool, unusual enough to be newsworthy and might attract visitors to the observatory (they are open to visitors every friday night). It can also inspire people to look for an observatory locally. It did that for me at least.
I still frequently play 2048, on my watch.

It's the perfect game for that format.
Shame they don't write about people like me, which drive on pure electric all the time. ICE kicks in once per month on on longer journeys. So effectively i have +inf times lower emission.
That depends on the cause of death. If a "lethal encounter with police after speeding" is gunshot wound whilst being detained, a Bugatti veyron might allow you to avoid that outcome. No police vehicle could keep up, unless they brought in air support.

Also, the police are less likely to violently arrest you if you're driving a supercar, I'd wager
Or maybe this insane nonsense has become so powerful because the official narratives are much dumber than I seem to remember them from before. Probably a result of both increasing polarization and shrinking media budgets.

For example, covid is just the flu, and only xenophobes would enact travel bans over it. No wait, corona is terrible and it's Trump's fault for not containing it. No wait, we should all go to BLM protests, did you know they actually _lower_ Covid rates? Listen to the science, don't wear masks! No wait, wear masks! ...

(The most effective "alt-right"/trust erosion accounts I've seen don't do much more than put screenshots of contradictory statements from the same source next to each other.)

Or Pizzagate, where it felt like the official narrative had solidly won after someone wanted to raid the pedophile dungeon and couldn't find it. Case closed! Until the Epstein story happened, Clinton's name was on flight list several times, and the media acted in actual unison by ignoring the implications. (I get it! Touching this case is suicide by proxy for journalists. But then don't blame normies for getting paranoid about pedophile elites.)
"You might not need neural networks" would be a more appropriate title.

The non-nn example given here is one for epoch in epochs loop to take care of picking the best coefficients away from being a ML implementation.

> No, private property, which is a capitalist institution

No, it hasn't. “Private property”, in the sense in which it is a defining institution of capitalism (ownership of the means of production by an individual as marketable property distinct from. ownership of or personal jurisdiction over land), requires the conceptual separation of individual property and public authority that is one of the characteristic features of the transition from pre-capitalist (specifically feudal in most of the West) to capitalist property relations. It is not something that universally existed from prehistoric times. You seem to be confusing the particular sense of “private property” associated with capitalism with the more generic concept of individual property, which is necessary to capitalism but not distinctly capitalist.

The is very profound, thank you for sharing what to expect. I also share childhood trauma and your perspective on the current generation and state of what is acceptable in parenting as being a little too alien in comparison to my childhood where my parents were manipulative and addicted to their own vices so I escaped playing outside all day with neighborhood friends. Nowadays helicopter parenting, ubiquitous computing/gaming, phone/social media addiction and instant gratification have eroded the working memory of the younger generation. It's only time until we realize it's akin to drug addiction and the smoking kills revelation of our times.
PoW has nothing to do with scaling and so PoS isn't a way to address it. if you're making this claim, i would suggest to reconsider your belief that "it's different because i understand the tech".

PoW and PoS are algorithms to order transactions, but how many transactions and how often to order them are just tunable parameters.

the real scalability "tech" that is being sneaked in while everybody is busy talking about PoS is sharding, which essentially means abandoning the idea of serializability of the underlying database, leading to vastly more complex failure modes, reliance on very tight clock synchronization and zero real world testing of such approach.

so yeah, good luck...
Escher love! amazing work

The docker Synology setup is very good in my experience. When an update is available for HA you can just clear the container and start it again, provided you have correctly mounted the volumes.

I even got my Zigbee USB Stick working, you just gotta start the container once via the terminal on the synology and then I can clear it later to update it etc.
How would you defeat that if it's supposed to be so easy?
My father used to operate a MF 135 on his father's farm in his youth. He bought another one a few years ago. It is now used for mowing grass and thorn at their country house, and to give the grand-kids rides and driving lessons (they love it).

Recently it stopped working, but a search quickly suggested a solution thanks to an active online community :) If I remember correctly, the intake at the bottom of the tank got clogged, which happens from time to time.
We looked at this exact setup recently but realised you can't suppress the unsubscribe link from any email customer.io sends.

You can set a flag so the user can't unsubscribe if you have a legitimate reason (e.g. transactional email) but I'm not a fan of the customer experience here as unsubscribe should mean that, unsubscribe.
> We are only talking about "conversion of energy into money" because that is what the best current implementation of a BFT system is using.

Yes, that's my point isn't it? I said "Bitcoin's proof of work is basically a conversion of energy directly into money." I did not say "all systems for ensuring the soundness of proofs in blockchains are a conversion of energy directly into money."

What we care about is trust minimization. It just happens that the first system utilized, proof-of-work, provides the best-yet incentives for ensuring trust minimization, and the most equitable distribution of coin. It being accidental does not mean it is not the the best method for securing "proof." (Which isn't to say that it is necessarily the best of all possible methods, only that the simple fact of it being first and accidental does not negate that it may be.)
Ask HN: Do you build in production, or build elsewhere and deploy to production?
Whichever system you're using, in my case I am especially interested in build systems that depend on Node but I guess it's useful to see what everyone is doing? Especially interested if anyone has done both with their current work and what they see as the problems.
Please let's not help with the efforts to hide the URL by spreading this sentiment. It's a misguided move that will only make users more helpless and the web more mysterious for them.

I'm increasingly encountering users that have trouble understanding that they should copy the URL to someone if they want to share a web page with them. Humans are logical creatures: if they see a part of the system that is constant, they will deduce that it could not have had an impact on the part that is changing. In the case of the URL this is an incorrect conclusion, but the UX from bad actors like Apple and Google is steering the user towards it.

If the intent is to show the host more prominently, then the URL should be visually split into the (more prominent) host part and the path part. The path part should not be simply hidden.

>> Proof-of-work incentivizes cheap & renewable energy investment.

> Cheap yes, renewable no. Complete non sequitur there.

That's the main point. There's no inherent incentive to use clean energy for mining. There's opposite stories about obsolete aluminum plants staying alive in China by just using their energy allocations to mine Bitcoin.
In light of this it appears that the CARB's approach, where a car is classified as a "range-extended battery electric vehicle"(and thus qualifies for high incentives) only if its range with the battery depleted is no greater than the range on battery alone, makes a lot of sense.
A short list of things which are fairly easy to do. Don't have children. Switch to a vegetarian or vegan diet. Use public transport or bikes / walking rather than petrol cars. Use solar panels to offset your electricity consumption. Improve the thermal efficiency of your home to reduce energy usage. Switch to "green" energy suppliers. Lobby the companies you use to become more environmentally friendly. Ask your pension provider whether they have a low/no carbon plan - if so, switch your investments to it. Plant a small garden that you can take care of. Encourage others to do the same.

Those are all things I've done. Some may be easier or not depending where in the world you are, and your financial means.
Comunist are also quite bad at that, I have met moderate reasonable people under the comunism banner that were sorta ok with other people calling themselves stalinists.

For example for all the criticism that you can point against religion most religious communities openly and clearly oppose and denounce terrorism.

In my view comunism was never able to separate itselft from a revolutionary mindset, and so agitators and extremists were always (since Marx, at least) considered a planned and likely step.
I came here to write this, I was surprised it was not even mentioned.
This entire article focuses on the upbringing and bourgeoise conditions of Engels and Marx without making an actual point - I believe the goal is to expose some form of contradiction in these men thinking of the workers class struggles?

Truth is, there is none. It’s just that most of the thinking is done by people who are relatively well-off in life, everyone else is too busy “making a living”.

As a former data scientist I feel we try solve problems the hard way because one of two reasons (maybe both):

1. To feel smart
2. To justify our paycheck

Most of the time simple solutions like the one in the link will be more than enough but we just can't resist the urge to implement this new paper we just found. I remember thinking about using a NN for a problem we had, after looking it closely for two days all I needed was a simple linear regression and got the extra benefits of being able to explain what was going on.

Eventually I started looking for the "elegant" solution because now that was the thing that made me feel smart. Although some times using brute force is the best approach. There's a balance you find once you gain enough experience... I think.
Have we all been unwittingly signed up for a spaced repetition study?
>Tell a young "marxist" what Das Kapital says of e.g. immigration and watch them decompose before your eyes... Anyway, no judgement here, just a personal observation.

Marx's view on immigration was largely that capitalists use it to pit the working class against itself, and that the nation state was a construct of capitalism. I'm curious why you think a Marxist would take an issue with that.
Last time I checked communism was not a charity or religion.

The biggest application is probably closed-loop PID temperature control. Such a control loop doesn't take much of a CPU but it definitely exceeds the capabilities of something like a 555 timer.
Is this guaranteed by the standard? worst seems platform dependent, does that mean it will vary with platform? what about x86 vs amd64? could it ever be more than 128 bytes?
> Or Pizzagate, where it felt like the official narrative had solidly won after someone wanted to raid the pedophile dungeon and couldn't find it. Case closed! Until the Epstein story happened, Clinton's name was on the flight list several times, and the media acted in actual unison by ignoring this case.

Er, the Epstein and Clinton connection first arose before Pizzagate, and it covered in the mainstream media. It then arose again when Epstein was charged the last time, and even more widely reported by the mainstream media. And it arose again very recently in the context of the Ghislaine Maxwell case, and, is right now being extensively covered in the mainstream media. This isn't a matter of cherry-picking facts to spin a conspiracy theory around and just ignoring facts that contradict the theory, it's inventing false facts to justify a conspiracy theory (which is then used to place blame for belief in other conspiracy theories.)
Unrestrained capitalism is not compatible with freedom, it's as simple as that. Without hyperbole, Amazon/Google/etc have more power than most countries on earth. This power is almost completely unaccountable to democratic control. Is this really what we want?

That said, some indies start out with a 'prototype' or 'hackathon' version, then take it to Kickstarter to flesh it out to a full version; Celeste (which I mentioned elsewhere) started off as a Pico-8 game built in 4 days and was then built as a full title. Didn't actually see a Kickstarter campaign for that one.

Another game I'm playing and enjoying right now is Hollow Knight, which started off as a poorly received game jam entry , then a Kickstarter which raised a modest sum (less than 50K), and now it's a highly acclaimed title with nearly 3 million units sold (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hollow_Knight).
If you don't have children, why should you care for the future generations? There could be some abstract argument about the unborn being as human as currently living people, but it cuts both ways.
No, this is someone getting a bot some karma so it can eventually contribute to the manipulation of posts (i.e. getting things upvoted to the front page).
Another great 'short' game is Journey, which me and my family all played individually and really enjoyed. IIRC it only takes up to 4 hours to get through it entirely; it's definitely worth sitting down and doing a full playthrough of in one go.
Not sure about the fun part. Nothing about what Amazon is doing is fun for me anymore.

I've got a drawer full of unused echos, chromecasts, etc. I haven't had a prime subscription for over 2 years now because every time I order something its a 50/50 that I will get a shitty ripoff from China. I am desperately looking to get off of their cloud offerings too.

I wish more would recognize the convenience of Amazon for the dystopia that it truly is and then act with their wallets. Shopping at 3 different online retailers vs 1 isn't that much of an added inconvenience, and I personally find that when you order direct from the manufacturer (when possible) that your success rate on getting high quality, non-fake stuff nears 100%. AWS is a harder sell because of how wide the feature set is, but there are options for any scale.

This isn't even scratching the surface on how they treat many of their employees. Who is working in an amazon warehouse right now and actually having a good time of it? Amazon could easily automate away many jobs they never wanted in the first place, but sacrificing lower-skilled humans do the last mile of messy pick & place turns out to be more friendly to margins.
Ok, of course true that sum of heat from sun that reaches earth remains constant no matter whether we use it. However, how it’s stored/used on the earth is another matter. E.g. if it’s absorbed by plants/fungi/other life forms and stored as biomass, part of it doesn’t contribute to heating of the atmosphere/oceans, contrarily to when it’s converted to electricity (where large part is lost due to heating of the solar panels) and then used to computing, where from physics perspective it’s mostly heating (only tiny part is converted to useful work).

Also what about the Manufacruring/production of devices to convert solar/wind energy to electricity and to mine bitcoins? It’s based on non-renewable elements (of course any chemical process is reversible given enough energy but Entropy still grows mercilessly) and requires a lot of extra energy.

EDIT: as far as we know, thermodynamically all energy will become heat at the end (although not sure if it should be called heat, since there will be no flux). However, we as humanity are/should be quite concerned first about decades and earth’s atmosphere/oceans (and connected parts) not millennia and energetically balance Earth as whole to come.

In principle energy from sun could also be stored in form of chemical bonds energy (as it’s the case for biomass) or even nuclear energy (yup, sun-powered nuclear fusion sounds unlikely but why not ;). Then biomass (less efficiently) or nuclei/atoms could be ejected from earth allowing to disperse sun’s thermal energy somewhere else.
