> but, here we are, in a pandemic, hitting all time highs.

what were you telling yourself? Trillions of dollars have been added to the market because Congress told the Central bank and Treasury to do that, and other countries did the same thing too.

An unlimited amount of money is being used to buy a fixed number of [eligible] assets, that is inflation.
Sorry, I phrased that incorrectly/poorly. What I meant to say is that market cap weighting allocates more money to stocks that have a higher market cap (and the stocks got that way by going up in the past), pushing up the price even more.

This wouldn't be true if all shares of a company were all trading at the same time, but that's not the case. The number of available shares is more constrained than the total free floating market cap would suggest.

The HTML spec mentions this:

JavaScript libraries may use the custom data attributes, as they are considered to be part of the page on which they are used. Authors of libraries that are reused by many authors are encouraged to include their name in the attribute names, to reduce the risk of clashes. Where it makes sense, library authors are also encouraged to make the exact name used in the attribute names customizable, so that libraries whose authors unknowingly picked the same name can be used on the same page, and so that multiple versions of a particular library can be used on the same page even when those versions are not mutually compatible.

This is saying that if you have `data-thing`, then putting your own name in there is better, like `data-mylib-thing` to tell it apart from `data-yourlib-thing`, but the ultimate in flexibility and compatibility is if the end-user of your library can configure this part so they can safely tell `data-yourlib-v3-thing` apart from `data-yourlib-v4-thing` etc.
Blanket data caps have nothing to do with net neutrality.

As usual with ML, I now wonder how “similar” the test set is to the training set, compared to the examples that are neither in the training set, nor the test set:

> Murder of the British is a strange take on the events of Lexington and Concord.

The outbreak of the American Revolution in 1775 can fairly be called an act of violence. The American colonies in the early days of the conflict were pretty evenly split between loyalists and revolutionaries. The latter ultimately won the day in large part by burning down loyalists’ houses or tarring and feathering them, sending some of the loyalists into exile in Canada or the Caribbean and encouraging others to stay low lest they be attacked, too.

These facts don’t get talked about much in the American school system, because like in most countries the public school system seeks to perpetuate a national mythology for the sake of civic unity. However, revolutions anywhere in the world tend to initially play out as a civil war of sorts among the country’s own people, and the American Revolution was no exception.
What the likely mean, is that newer versions of pip support newer platforms underpinning the binary packages.

Python binary packages are a bit of a kludge, they take a binary built on a base platform like CentOS 5, and use tools like patchelf to take all the libraries that they dynamically link against and re-wrap them in a new package.

Until about a year ago, CentOS 5 was the newest base platform available. So if your library needed a glibc feature or some other library feature from the past decade you were SoL.
I think this is a pretty big miss on where the issues with these sorts of systems are - I'm sure some teachers are phoning it in but the student in the article (Molina) was immediately awarded an F and then had to go through a two month appeal process to get that undone. Once he was talking to a person things moved pretty quickly but the backlog of cases results in a lot of unnecessary stress on students.

>can you share them?

There are at least two Switzerland-based and a US-based company, I'm aware of, working on rule-based forms (or questionnaires) in financial services. For instance Appway AG in Zurich (I'm not related to them).

The challenges seem to be always sort of:

- You have the business domain modelled in a relational (or document, or graph) database. You bind and synchronize the data between database and form.

- You have a rule engine, which uses e.g. RETE-OO, which fires the rules when some object types and some of their object attributes defined in the rule input match changes objects in the form. The rule action changes other fields of the form.

- You have a form editor where you can map form fields to entity attributes of the business model. Besides form components (text fields, selects, checkboxes, radio button groups) you can add headings and paragraphs. You can split forms into multiple pages and add (breadcrumb) navigation. You can add summary pages with an overview of the form data.

- You have a vanilla UI design for the forms but can customize the forms completely. Starting from custom CSS to different CSS frameworks. Tailwind CSS and Headless UI (unstyled UI components) seem to go into the right direction (not only for fancy write-once web-agency marketing websites, but also enterprise web applications). You want to implement the form fields/components and consider labels, error states, disable and hide styles, and accessibility.

Uh, okay. This is kind of a weird take on the whole thing.
Who exactly are they intended to disenfranchise, I know the common trope is that black people are unable or unwilling to get an ID, but that in and of itself is a pretty racist implication. Any US citizen can go to their local DMV and get a state issued ID.

What it does do, is restore just a small amount of confidence in the election process, something that is woefully lacking, people are so disillusioned with how far the divide in the US is, that half of them believe the Russians planted the current president via election fraud, and the other half believed that the current president's loss in the recent elections is invalid due to fraud.

Lack of confidence in elections, eventually leads to revolutions, voter ID is a small token of a way to restore some of that confidence and to assume people are too poor or uneducated to get a state issued ID, is "White mans burden" under a different guise.
> I have been taking care of my elderly mother

It's unfair that this is stigmatised, I think it's a good and noble thing to look after elderly parents.

It's not so common in the west, but it's very common in other cultures, I think we get that part wrong in western society.

I couldn't bear the fact that my mother was in a nursing home. If she ever needs care I wont be sending her to something like that, I'll do what you're doing.

It just gives you an error:

So it seems like a strange choice of usage example. You have to provide both requirements and constraints for it to do anything useful (applying the version constraints to the requirements and their dependencies).
They still suck pretty bad at many physical things. Bipedal robots are a joke. They also dent and rust. It'll be that way for a while. They don't reproduce.

But virtual world, say they're better at math. Say they prove all the Clay Millennium Problems. Say they go way beyond those problems and produce some math far beyond human's ability to understand it.

I've been thinking about that for a while and have decided it's fine. Math as a profession will still exist. Fact is, there's already a proof for everything mathematicians are investigating (or a proof that there's no proof, recursively), out there somewhere. Mathematicians are just searching for it, so that it can be understood and translated to human language. The fact that AI already knows the answers doesn't mean that human mathematicians are useless: they are still required to uncover the meaning of these results and translate them into human language. AI then is still just a tool that mathematicians use to help them in their search. Similar to how biologists will use AlphaFold. I guess.

> If you really care about public safety, you should pay attention to homelessness, drug addiction, and the problems in the streets! It's killing people 4x as fast as Covid, and yet nobody cares!

And do WHAT, for them? What concrete thing are you supposed to DO?

No matter what YOU think is a solution, most of the homeless will refuse consent. Now what?

You can't just force a person into mental health or drug treatment without their consent unless they commit a crime or are an immediate danger to themselves.

Needle exchanges help. Methadone clinics help. And for the people who don't comply?

Most of the "homeless solutions" are effectively "move them somewhere else--preferably jail". That's really what people who want SF to "get control" of the homeless problem actually want.

My wife, who has issues with motion sickness, would absolutely love this approach - she'd be effectively barred from taking exams due to getting headaches and throwing up whenever she attempted it.

Anyways, I'd prefer an approach that led to less invasive face tracking - even if it suffered from a lower detection rate.
I'm not sure, just because I think something is intrinsically worthless doesn't mean there won't be other people who still think the stock has value in 2 years.

I think it's a malinvestment unless you are reasonably certain there will be a drop soonish but want to hedge that bet with something long-dated.

Anyway, I was simply responding to your statement that you could make bank on it, which I highly disagree with. So much uncertainty is already priced in that the max upside is only 3x even if the company becomes completely worthless in the next 2 years.
This is honestly the better solution. In my upper division physics classes most exams were take home.

I looked at using hydrogen at home. It's a bad idea.

Hydrogen can leak thru the tightest seals.

Hydrogen makes steel brittle.

Hydrogen fires are invisible and do not generate heat "out the sides" so you can walk into a hydrogen fire without knowing until you're in it.

Hydrogen self-ignites on contact with platinum, something often found in jewelry.

Hydrogen is violently explosive in proper concentration.

Strange article. I couldn't quite pin the sentiment of the author towards servants.

Rather than building dedicated integrations (which can always come later), a relatively quick win that’s tool-agnostic would be to implement webhooks.

I’ve used Typeform’s webhook feature a number of times to good effect, whereby you receive one POST request to whatever endpoint you specify upon each form submission. This may have changed, but when I last used it that was the only way of getting your data out of their system, which was admittedly frustrating. A lot better than nothing though.

Used it for all kinds of things: quizzes hooked up to a loyalty program, to award the user points for all correct answers; satisfaction surveys after ordering a product; writing and photography competitions (again hooked up to the loyalty program); an in-depth annual user survey; etc.
That's a fair point, yield has to be included. I lumped yield in with the pessimistic 75% factor for area utilization of the wafer. I should have been more clear. The area loss for square die on a round wafer should be much less than 25% of the total wafer area.

If you look at process tech cost trends, the $17K is also very pessimistic. I think a customer the size of Apple is probably getting a much better rate than that. Remember, they sell well over 200 million TSMC fabbed chips a year. Hard to know for sure of course, but I imagine these chips are ultimately costing Apple well under $40. We'll never know of course...

As someone that doesn't fret with the saving history part I'm curious why people save their texts and back them up. Honestly it is a bit creepy to me. I can understand saving special texts (especially for a short time period) but it seems weird to me that people want to save texts from a year ago that talk about what I had for breakfast. There's something I'm not getting here, can someone enlighten me? Like I've never searched my texts for something that is more than a few weeks old. Any further back than that and I just directly ask the person (it is way faster).
Right, but that's where it comes in that you have better knowledge than the aggregate of the market. Whether or not it's bank is how much the gain is. Whether or not it's worth the risk is separate.

A quick test for the certainty a lot of people are expressing here on the company's worthlessness is how much they're willing to bet on making that real.

And I agree with you, I wouldn't make the trade. But that's all because I can't predict it.
The "I could never date..." girl could have been an opening to challenge her a bit. If you want to date more you just have to come up with some good zingers to counter their "shit-test".
Sure it does, as I'm pretty sure the US does not have universal health care right now :)

Also, while many countries have (on paper) universal health care, in reality you will need to go into the private system for quality care. I am definitely a fan of universal healthcare, and it works well in many rich countries, but this is a global pandemic, not just something affecting Europe and America.

> This is pretty vague, what do you mean?

People in general - and the scientific community is no exception - have the tendency to engage in groupthink and maintain incorrect assumptions, and this pandemic has shown that very clearly. For one simple example, look at the messaging around masks: the WHO was very slow to change their response. I think it's very possible that one or more major assumptions are incorrect, for example around transmission mechanisms, the best ways to stop the spread of the virus etc, and that we should encourage a diversity of approaches.

For one example, I am shocked that the countries that are incredible coronavirus "success stories" such as Vietnam only occasionally appear in the news. They just went three entire months with zero locally transmitted cases - what can we learn from them?

I write a quite a bit of [no_std] Rust code (i.e. with no standard library) and you don't get things like a memory allocator or even a panic handler out of the box. However, I find that creating a custom error enum for each of my modules and piping errors into errors by implementing the From trait for each Error enum referenced inside those modules is not as tiresome as one would expect. It frees me up to use the ? operator wherever I want and add whatever "context" I want by using structured enums. That way, when an Err is returned instead of an Ok result variant you get a pseudo-stacktrace via your error chain and the error variant itself can have data in it (like an index or a key that could not be found). It's up to you how specific or generic you want it to be. You can also use "map_err" to decorate fallible code you don't control with extra contextual information that will help you locate the source of the error.

For example:

`Error: CookingError(CakeBaker(TemperatureCOutOfRange(999, 250)))`

This has the added benefit of not forcing your error handling methodology on users of your libraries.

This book series is great—I built an entire pathtracer in R (rayrender)* following this series. I'd recommend reading these books and then reading Matt Pharr's "Physically Based Rendering", also available for free online (http://www.pbr-book.org). Starting with a pathtracer based on Peter's book and then slowly integrating elements of PBRT (the pathtracer featured in PBR) as needed has been a great pedagogical exercise: RTIOW teaches using a bottom-up approach, while PBR very top-down. If you've written the pathtracer described in RTIOW, you end up with a much fuller understanding of many of the choices made in PBRT.

Also, PBR is getting a fourth edition this year that goes into fully GPU rendering—it's a great time to start learning about pathtracing!

If you want to compare apples to apples Zen 3 is supposed to offer 20% more performance vs Zen 2 and offer the same max 64 cores as current generation. Granted they are expensive with the current 64 core CPU part coming in at $5800 and the whole machine easily closer to 8k but if prices remain similar the top end mac pro will probably perform less ably than a machine based on the AMD part and cost about $15k.

Apple will of course retain its crown as the fastest OEM of hardware that runs its own OS since it will remain the only one legally allowed to do so.
