On math, I would argue those are all equivalent and equally right.

On politics different positions are rarely equivalent, but you're right that there's almost always truth on both sides and it's really expressing differing views of priorities and values. However, if you rank them by "which is best for human well-being" there is a best answer even if we can't know it. So one can't use this as a easy out "all opinions are equally valuable" kind of thing, which is just nonsense. Though one could argue that prioritizing "human well-being" is a value judgment, which it is.

I also agree with your last point, it's usually me who's misunderstanding something in that case upon digging deeper.

However, there are also classes of things that are objectively true like whether climate change is happening as a result of human activity. Or whether a politician said X or not when there's a video of them saying X. It's never 100% certainty in life, but some things are known sufficiently well that there's almost no chance of them being wrong.

This is totally indecipherable to someone who doesn't know the first thing about DNA. However I have some questions:

1) Is DNA "computation" turing-complete?

2) Can DNA make the basic digital logic gates, AND, NOT, NOR, etc.?

If neither of those are true, then this is an incredibly silly article and I'm really impressed.
You are right. Recent offerings of the course are in Python: cs229.Stanford.edu.
This is really great you guys. Good job! It really makes me realize how much I miss the old internet.
Cats can now be vaccinated to eliminate the antigen most people are allergic to.

It is very interesting why it works. The source of the antigen is a bacterial infection they lick onto their fur. Eliminate the infection -- really, replace it with a different one -- and no more dander problem.
I'm using Pushover (https://pushover.net/) to send notifications to my Apple devices. To make use of it easier on command line I wrote a simple Python script which I've found to be very useful for things like allowing Transmission to send notifications when a download is finished or in scripts that do backup jobs which take a long time, letting me know when my Mac has booted, etc... Reply to this comment if you're interested in my script (note that the pushover site has good examples of how to call their API).

Nothing will stop me from decorating my text. I do italics and underlines even when writing by hand. It’s a habit that will never die.

Personally, minor decorations doesn’t impede my writing by much. What kills productivity, is endless editing while writing the first draft.
Differential Equations in Action
https://www.udacity.com/course/differential-equations-in-act...

It's not an intense differential equations course, and I don't think you even need calculus to understand or complete the exercises. It has a lot of really great, well, explained, fun exercises like computing a gravitational slingshot, computing the spread of an epidemic, then N-body problem, and others. The exercises are solved programmatically, not with math equations.

America's Written Constitution

If you're American, you'll likely find both of these courses extremely interesting. What they (probably) taught you in grade/high school was very overly simplified, or just wrong. This is geared toward people who have no background in law. I don't remember there being amazing exercises to do, but there were a lot of mind blowing facts I learned about things the constitution does and doesn't cover.
You need to guarantee it happens.

So you can't just use Wifi, you need to send it through the cellular provider.

Also it only gets expensive if you are doing it to millions of cars, Tesla doesn't have millions of cars. And also Tesla is using investor Money.

It really depends what the specifics are, what does success look like? Not everything is so difficult that a large majority will fail at it. Believe you will become a $500B dollar company? Ok you’re probably wrong. But believe that you can make a decent living and not end up homeless? Most people who set out to accomplish that succeed, after all most people are not homeless.

There should be a literary term for cases where a typo or malapropism is as incredibly apt as "Securicide."
But what do the error bars themselves mean? Are they not probabilistic in nature themselves?

Say you conduct a thousands trials and calculate the error bar based on the results. If you conduct a hundred such experiments (each consisting of a thousand trials) and one of the experiments violates the error bar, does that invalidate it?
How so? If you just go to school and do your work, one day at a time, for 16years, you'll get a degree without planning the whole thing.
All of that “could be” achieved by hand rolling Assembler code for your servers as well.

Well, there’s the example from the Twitter thread. But the point is that anti-leftist censorship and propaganda have been happening for a loooooong time.

I believe you did run into the CFS bug in non-Kubernetes workloads, though, specifically with Hadoop tasks. An engineer told me about a workaround he devised using cpuset.

Huh? I don't know how you arrived at this conclusion, or at the conclusion that it needs to be pointed out that "They are more engaging". I don't know how pointing it out changes anything about what I wrote.
But you do get the irony, right? It's like a browser is not for reading by default anymore, like stepping into a car and putting it in "car mode".
Abusing HTML form inputs as a way to store application state in DOM is hostile to usability and accessibility - please don't do this for any sites humans need to use. HTML does have progressive disclosure elements built in with `<details>` and `<summary>` which work without JS (I was hoping the demo was showing that or something like it)
There can be different reasons to be sad for a long gone past:

* You were sad in the past and you're remembering being sad

* You were happy in the past and you're a bit "sad" this time has gone or that you forgot what it was like to be X etc

I believe melancholy is the latter. You're not truly sad because you're also enjoying a nice memory but at the same time you're also a bit sad it's gone (hence the "happiness of being sad")
I would need to double check, but isn’t it still running an overlay? Just one which is transparent to you?

Not to say Tesla doesn't have these issues, they probably do. Thing is if you go on Google and type "X issues" you will almost always find what you're looking for.
Banning shit prematurely is how we ended up with solder/bump-gate when Europe prematurely banned leader solder and flaky wires when Apple dropped PVC in favor due to Greenpeace handwringling.

Yup--I'm sensitive to such smells and I avoid any part of a store that has scented candles, period. Just sitting on the shelf they bother me.
More fundamentally, what is the point of participating in a social platform that only allows one set of information? Why would you want to read the same thing from many sources? Seems like it’s easier to just read one source and be done with it.

I posit that the lack of censorship is the reason that social media exists. Similarly, the printing press. Why on earth would anybody want to read the Bible, or any other book, by themselves? All truth is taught in Church. To think otherwise is blasphemy.

This! Also, we take now many unix abstractions so much for granted that when they occur in different places we assume it's just convergent evolution.
What someone told me that was very helpful was to not become convinced that just because I had fallen into this pattern over and over I would continue to do so. Recognizing the pattern is the first step to breaking it, but there's no magic bullet to break it. It's honestly sort of a leap of faith but the key is to just try again and try harder not to fall into the same pattern. Then when you fail try again. And again. And again.

In my twenties I went through the pattern of starting a side project and abandoning it because of akrasia over and over. Now in my late twenties I find the pattern continues to happen but taking an honest account of the whole decade there has been marked improvement. In the last six months I've brought two projects to a degree of semi-completion that I wouldn't have thought possible six years ago.

I don't want to be overly sunny: tons of people do go their whole lives repeating the negative patterns of akrasia and never get done what they want to get done. I feel for them it's an unfortunate combination of the tendencies manifesting stronger in them, giving up on trying to break the pattern, and inability to recognize the patterns. For you at least I have a lot of hope because in this comment you show you recognize the patterns.
Yes, I've made CRN++ version as well (in this pull request: https://github.com/marko-vasic/crnPlusPlus/pull/1), but it required much more reactions and was less stable. So I decided to make it from scratch by using different approach.
How is that not a valid comparison. That is exactly the sort of thing people use over here to show our terrible youth suicide rate. NZ is not far behind Japan it's a problem worth talking about.
But what if the apparent probability after n trials does not converge as n grows arbitrarily large?

If we observed such a system in nature, what would its "probability" mean?
Just reading the "abstract", this sounds way more complicated than anyone needs a VCS to be. I also question the "mathematically sound" bit - the "commutative changes/diff" thing sounds really far fetched.

Also, the fact it is written in rust means nothing to me. The whole "but rust doesn't segfault!" thing is, and has always been, a ridiculous reason why rust is somehow inherently better suited for such projects. The article keeps leaning on that fact as though it makes the project superior somehow, but it just feels like grandstanding.

The architecture section is just buzzwords. It doesn't explain the technical aspects, it doesn't allow me to understand the system, and then I'm immediately dropped into "how to use the CLI". But wait, you haven't sold me yet.

This was painful to read.
Whether wrongs are happening today is irrelevant to my point. People try to reframe history in the poliics of today and it cheapens any discission of the topic as everything is seen through a modern lens.

As for societies domninated by "elite". If you read any Pareto all societies have been dominated by elite interest groups. It is called "Elite Theory". It is nothing unique to America or the Anglosphere.

https://www.britannica.com/topic/elite-theory

> At the bottom of the Wealth curve, he wrote, Men and Women starve and children die young. In the broad middle of the curve all is turmoil and motion: people rising and falling, climbing by talent or luck and falling by alcoholism, tuberculosis and other kinds of unfitness. At the very top sit the elite of the elite, who control wealth and power for a time – until they are unseated through revolution or upheaval by a new aristocratic class. There is no progress in human history. Democracy is a fraud. Human nature is primitive, emotional, unyielding. The smarter, abler, stronger, and shrewder take the lion's share. The weak starve, lest society become degenerate: One can, Pareto wrote, 'compare the social body to the human body, which will promptly perish if prevented from eliminating toxins.' Inflammatory stuff – and it burned Pareto's reputation.

Unfortunately it is the basis of fascism.

> With no driver or cab, autonomous tractors would be lighter, doing less damage in compressing the soil.

Soil compaction is a real problem, but I don't think farmers are looking for a lighter tractor that cannot be driven at all.
Given that one of (emphasis one of) the reasons for long sleep duration is having poor quality of sleep, that doesn't surprise me. And if that is the only cause of negative correlation while other causes are harmless, that could also explain why this correlation is weak, no?

> if they're using Kubernetes at all then presumably they've got at least a few hundred machines being managed by a couple different product teams.

I think this, unfortunately, does not hold up in practice. I am seeing way too many small orgs/teams use Kubernetes to orchestrate dozens and even sub-dozens of machines. From the perspective of solving for sub-dozens to thousands, I think there is some merit to TFA's perspective, even if it doesn't match the Kubernetes use-case you describe.
I believe it was mentioned in the video that scaling 8K to 4K gives better quality (maybe by averaging out the color mosaic filter pattern?).

Yup, I try to avoid going through perfume sections, if necessary I hold my breath and hurry. Scented candle sections are even worse, I stay far away from them.
It's also strange because what they've trained is essentially a recommender system. However, at inference time you're not trying to rank 2 different articles, but the same article with 2 different titles, which I guess you could do, but I'm not sure how well this correlates to your actual ranking on HN.

I guess something more interesting would be to take into account the current front page and see how your article would rank against those, or something along these lines.

In any case, neat idea.
That link reads very much like a conspiracy theory blog, "shocking revelation", "Anyone who questioned this [was] attacked, ridiculed, smeared and hounded into silence", "But the facts wouldn't go away."

The content is worth following up on, though. Those emails are as if written in an alternate reality, where Roger Dingledine is a government agent. They seem hard to believe, but scrolling down there is a PGP signature with the right key ID. I can't verify the sig, the email that I'd have to type over is many pages long and I'd be fighting line endings and it might never match and I'd not know if it's due to a mistake on my part or because the message doesn't match the sig so it wouldn't prove anything anyway. The signing key ID is also a short one (64 bits) so it could also be forged with some effort. I've reached out on IRC some hours ago to see if they deny it, as there is nothing on the Tor Project's blog, but have yet to get a response.

I'm only now realizing that many of the great minds of 18th and 19th centuries left massive amount of journals and personal correspondence, that are vast store of insight and ideas for anyone curious, besides being in the public domain.

Presently I'm reading the letters of Henry James, and they are very engrossing, and dense with observation.

OMG, the barbecue on the passenger seat!

The attention to detail in this sketch is glorious. And that's coming from a westerner who never heard of tarof before this. So I'm probably missing even more of the detail that actually exists in it.
It would be nice if the authors could provide practical examples of their features, instead of a theoretical talk about mathematical soundness.

This is a read-only file system, so it’s able to exploit certain properties of that—- locating similar files next to each other, for example.
Thanks for submitting. Just ordered physical book on Amazon.

I’d like to share a tangential thought in case others have noticed the same. One thing I’ve found odd with the CIA and “Intelligence” community is they seem to use the terms “Information” and “Intelligence” interchangeably. Labeling their Information as Intelligence, I would think introduces cognitive bias. Perhaps Authority Bias or another.

Going with the DIKW paradigm:

- Data

- Information (The symbols and words we assign to the Data)

- Knowledge (Which I’ll define as a storage of Information with Metainformation attached to it. Kind of like a computer filesystem. The actual file is Information and has Metainfo like Source, Timestamp, filetype, and other contextual properties which is useful for processing and thinking about during decision-making.

- Wisdom (Which I’ll defined as the process of consciously running Knowledge through your Mind and Emotions and Third-party Cognitive Fallacy Checklists) and then drawing a Conclusion.

When they say “Intelligence-gathering”, really they mean “Information-gathering.”

Long story, short: if I ran the CIA, I’d change the name to “Central Information Processing Agency”
I tried this course and found it nearly unwatchable due to the editing. Rapid cuts jump around topics and rooms and days without any transitions and without any logical continuity either. Shiller frequently references things he probably said 5 minutes ago in the actual lecture, but won’t say for 10 more videos in the Coursera edit.

I cannot find anyone else talking about this in the reviews; they are all glowing. Wondering if I’m crazy, if Coursera is glitching just for me, or if no one actually watched the videos.

Would this course give me such a foundation to achieve this?

The core thing to understand about Windows leadership over the past decade is that the mobile product went so well that when the project was clearly dying, all Windows leadership was fired so the mobile folks could take their place. No joke.

You can create a ramdisk in Linux by using "tmpfs" as the file system.

Sometimes you can mount /tmp as tmpfs to have an extremely fast /tmp partition. You can make the change permanent via /etc/fstab
I'm not trying to solve all the problems of the working class (which is not a monolith except when viewed through certain narrow theoretical lenses). I am just clarifying that race-based slavery was fundamental to southern society and economy, and it is ahistorical and misleading to suggest that it only or even primarily benefited a tiny minority of wealthy plantation owners.
I don't have a good source at hand, but there was even a preview version of Windows 10 Mobile available that had support built in. You could get it from the insider program. Now that the whole ecosystem gets wound down it becomes incredibly frustrating trying to revisit those old systems. You can easily recreate installs of Windows 98 or XP in various flavors and patch levels, but for Windows Phone this has become mostly impossible.

For example, the store for WP8.1 and older has shut down, so you can no longer get the app for upgrading to 10. There was a tool released by the end of 2019 that can do it via USB, but that stopped working in October since the server it contacts now requires TLSv1.2, and the tool was written in .NET 4 which doesn't do 1.2 by default. So there is a registry hack you can use to enable it again, until eventually that doesn't work anymore either. There are inofficial, incomomplete mirrors of some device specific factory images, and the pretty awsome "windows phone internals" tool for rooting and modding some devices, which was mostly a one man show.

With said tool and a lot of patience, it should still be able to get one of the two insider builds of win10mobile running that had android emulation, given you find the instructions, all the files and images required. And then it's still only an alpha version that emulates the Android 4.4 API.

I have a friend whos working on software archival, so through him I became aware of the importance of trying to preserve these kind of things, and those very closed and additionally niche platforms are the second hardest thing to preserve, after cloud services.
