Function syntax is this stuff [0, 1]. Tidyverse uses it to accomplish some non-model stuff. The one that leaps to my mind is faceting [2]. I'd expect that sort of thing to be handled by macros.

And all the rest of the comment I wouldn't have typed except I'm already replying, since I know this is one of those two-types-of-people-who-don't-change-opinions situations. But...

> not only saves a few keystrokes.

R is secretly a lisp. People can define whatever they want to be whatever they want. Pipes were already implemented in a library (try doing that in Python). Make your own library or bind \ to a keyboard macro or something if your fingers are on the point of crumbling under the stress of those 7 keystrokes.

Defaults using real words to describe things is good. The function to create a function being function() is eminently reasonable. \() is meaningless and about as useful as a one-word variable

> It will also produce shorter, and clearer, lines of code.

Opinons very much divide. Code length is only a proxy for load on a reader's short term memory which is what matters. \ is going to put more burden on someone if they aren't very familiar with R. Most R coders are not full time programmers and not very good at R.

I've done a lot of learning about philosophy and the book that keeps coming up, from people that I highly respect, is Russell's book, check out the wiki on it [1].

Regardless, based on summaries that I've read, I wish I started with this book since it gives a solid understanding of western philosophy.

I'm not positive that they are. This post has already spawned one FERPA request, so I guess we'll find out!

I think the chances are good. If Brown is using IT records to determine academic standing, they're very much academic records.
Exactly, or should I say nemleg :)
I absolutely love walking. Two walks a day (typically a long ~45 minute one after breakfast, and a shorter ~20 minute walk after lunch) are non-negotiable activities.

I feel _so_ much better after a walk; I have better concentration and increased motivation to tackle difficult problems. Even if I'm having a particularly busy day or with a deadline coming up, I'd rather sacrifice some personal time after hours than my walks.
If they simply logged all MACs that passed by their routers, that would be a little concerning given the urban setting. If these people didn't turn off their WiFi autojoin and their devices were actively connecting, then that's on them.
Yeah, the title is misleading
They’re all doing it, just at different levels of nanny-state oversight.
Of course there should be. We stopped expecting them during the Reagan Administration because private industry would upset the entrenched monopolies that were keeping us down.

And safe. So now people think unions are icky and representatives that care about people rather than corporations are fantasy.

I run (20 minutes to get to 170bpm) + walk (40-60 minutes pretty fast) 7 miles along the Embarcadero every day and it’s the only thing that’s kept me sane during Covid.

Definitely recommend an Apple Watch to keep track of your metrics.
My guess is that most systems ¿almost? completely start from scratch setting up the hardware on resolution switches.

You need that code anyways for every resolution, and it means you need only n paths for n different resolutions, not the n×(n-1) you need for switching from any of them to any of the other ones. It also makes handling the various setups completely independent. There can’t be some left-over state from the previous resolution setting that interferes With how the current setting works.

It also might be a left-over from CRT days, when the hardware couldn’t seamlessly switch to a different clock frequency, and doing the full restart on the software side didn’t make much of a difference (yes, lots of hardware could switch horizontal resolutions even on a line by line basis, but that, AFAIK, always was on the same number of vertical lines and frames/second, and, using ratios between horizontal resolutions with small denominators such as ½ or ¼.

This is one of those things where it takes a company like Apple to not only notice that can be improved, but also decide it’s worth spending resource on.
One might miss the tree for the forest.
I built complex form before on financial platform where it contains complex investment details, different entities for different kind of offering .. with vanilla javascript. But that may sound grumpy old man in argument. Stimulus' weak point may be where it requires many DOM mutation per action, that's probably better use declarative way to re-render the whole thing in different way based on data.
Thinking about it, if you’re willing to give up TLS 1.3, you could probably just break all https connections with encrypted SNI and then filter based on the SNI information.
Her contributions to the exchange were certainly unprofessionally hostile (“I don’t have time for this.”), but in and of itself that sort of behavior isn’t a real problem. The actual problem is that as a person with a large following, her hostility precipitated harassment by her followers that ultimately drove Lecun from Twitter. For someone on the receiving end there isn’t a meaningful distinction between whether someone harasses them directly or whether they incite harassment by others.

From what I’ve read about Gebru and this situation it doesn’t seem implausible to me that had she identified the reviewers she would have named them in a public venue and characterized their criticisms as being driven by discriminatory bias or an intent to suppress her work. Obviously nobody is going to present criticism, regardless of whether the criticism is legitimate, if that is a possible consequence.
It makes sense to me about as much as the trade in ancient coins, stamps, and other collectibles. These are reasonable asset classes if you like gambling, with a somewhat fixed supply, not a lot of industrial applications, and wild price fluctuations based entirely on subjective appreciation. Bitcoin is more liquid but otherwise the price dynamic looks about the same...
Not the person you're asking, also not an expert, just someone who enjoys lifting weights (Olympic style!) and has spent a lot of time around people whose livelihood revolves around fitness and strength sports.

Rounding your back is only an issue when loaded. You don't wanna round it when squatting or deadlifting (but the Barbell Medicine folks will tell you it's not that big of deal, most of the time). If you're just moving your body on its own, you should absolutely do things that involve rounding your back, like touching your toes. If your back wasn't meant to move that way, it probably wouldn't move that way... or at the very least your body would immediately give you warning signs to make you stop doing that (like when you try to bend a joint the wrong way).
I agree with most of your post, but I think MKL is Fortran and C/C++, and implements the BLAS API. I recall that BLAS has a Fortran interface and a CBLAS (C, not C++) interface, and I used the latter. And Rust can call out to C ABI code.
The ease of implementing call/cc early on when you have a trivial interpreter is dangerous - it becomes far too easy to end up not realising you've made a rod for your own back until way too late.

A spec entry for delimited continuations with call/cc as an -optional- feature would definitely seem like an improvement in terms of leading implementors down a saner path.
This article is translated from Spanish using some kind of AI (see disclaimer at the top of the article). Because of this it's not clear what this article is actually talking about, ads or a new type of notification.
No new bad habits but no fewer, other than the one. I'm probably less winded when doing rigorous activities but I moved to Texas and it turns out I'm allergic to everything here, so I'm still coughing up a morning lung. It's definitely allergies and not the terror I saw when smoking. My life has more time in it now because I don't have to deal with smoke breaks. That's a double edged sword though. I forget to take mental breaks...

Smoking is great and terrible. I loved smoking but I don't miss being a "smoker." Good luck on your journey.
Aside from camera use, because my team does not support that system, my team helped our university admin do the same things. In fact you could really just find/replace "Brown" with our name and this would be the same write-up. Lots of American schools run this same infra and did the same things.
I don’t believe it falls under FERPA. Plus, the WiFi monitoring tracks everyone with a mobile device, regardless of matriculation status.
Kicking out (or having resign) an AI researcher is a lot less costly in PR terms than having a large scale AI fail like the one Google experienced when their photo software started identifying black people as monkeys in 2015. Gebru is a fuse that just went pop, and can now be replaced with a new one quite easily.

These students have paid a non-trivial amount of money to attend this school, and passed up the chance to attend others. They are a market that Brown has almost complete control over.

What meaningful choice could a student make to avoid being tracked in the login they use to take classes is what tracks them?
No he stated things as fact and moved on. I stated I think the US govt has to much money. And I think the US govt is wasteful so taxes now aren't going to help. I think we should incentivize the people with the money to solve these issues.

Thats way different than postulating facts and trying to conclude a narrative based on those facts. Cause I may be wrong about the government having to much money and I fully admit to it.
As the article states, WiFi monitoring is likely happening on a large scale. Why purchase outside data when you have better data (including authenticated users) already in house?
No, it means be honest.

Don't pretend to know more than you do, be nicer, kinder, funnier, more generous etc. than you are...

I thought "be yourself" was a little more universally understood. It's very good advice.

Stop pretending so that you can accept where you are, deal with it and improve for the better.
Speaking of Netflix, some users had been left out in 480p land when the DRM module was likely broken and used to rip high quality streams, so Google adjusted the certification level to Level 3 (software-based decryption).

This is sadly the case with most public good research. Just look at the amount of money that's available for things like police transparency research, or advertisement-less journalism. Even if you do great work in these sorts of fields, there's usually very little to personally gain from it.
The pretraining is shared between models, inference is generally such more expensive.
Ah yes, C, well known for its memory safety!
The problem with Bitcoin and is that it creates real negative effects, with little positive effects to show for it.

The most prominent negative effect is the huge energy waste, which doesn't help when we are trying to cut on our carbon footprint

The second one is that it makes illegal activities easier, and at a larger scale. It's quite common right now for companies to be coerced pay millions of dollars to anonymous criminals, all enabled with cryptocurrencies.

Unless equally sized positive effects would emerge, it creates a growing pressure on governments to regulate and potentially criminalize the usage of cryptocurrencies. If that happens, the monetary value will naturally fall down.
“Apple's non-standard behavior is still more valuable to consumers overall than their less successful standard competitors even if it is horrible to a minority.”

You must realize this doesn’t follow at all right? Almost no one is even aware if their laptop has proprietary screws or not when they’re purchasing one. It’s not listed as a feature on laptop comparison sites or in reviews. People choose Apple for many reasons but it’s not because they prefer non standard screws.

You’re confusing people choosing to buy a product with them endorsing a specific feature of that product that clearly goes against their own interest for no benefit.
Needs a dang intervention ideally.

Looks like a perfect case for erlang. And while we are at it, one of existing xmpp servers written in erlang. One puny $2/month server will serve thousands of users without sweating.
This is not a problem with S 230 in my opinion. All these calls to order tech giants to promote specific views (even though I tend to agree with most) are extremely dangerous. I don't remember who was pointing that this all basically forced Google to have a "state department" and a foreign policy. Same with Facebook.

Personally I am of the radical opinion that the source of all this evil is advertisement. I'd simply forbid it. Advertisement is the reason why social media try to increase engagement. It uses advanced manipulation techniques and recent psychological research.

The net would cost people 2 more dollars per month but would be a much saner place without advertisement.
Indeed, it's vague and confusing, it sounds a lot like corporate speak for ads. "Valuable messages from our partners" sort of thing.

From the first few paragraphs it seems like they are describing some sort of toast notification for when they have some sort of announcement to make, but that wording could very well be a euphemism for targeted ads.
This is the main use case of 5g iirc. Enabling millions more devices to connect to the network. What an absolute nightmare we are about to enter. "Just don't connect it to the network" is no longer a valid answer.
Yes, there is something deeply common between theology and philosophy: the former studies that which does not exist, while the latter is seeking the answers to questions to which there are none.
I'm pretty sure I do a lot of "solution architect" work, but I still don't self-identify as one and have very little idea what it means. I think it's one of those titles that big tech companies (and consultants) use, but are kind of lingo-y and not really tied to reality.

For specific questions, I've seen some great questions and answers on Stack Overflow.

Bitcoin is an asset the government simply cannot control. That’s the magic! Whether you think this is good or bad is for debate, but there are apps in every country where you can buy and hold bitcoin (even countries like Nigeria and Venezuela) and it doesn’t take that many people who value it globally to make BTC shoot up in price. If even 1 out of 1000 people on earth desired bitcoin, its value would go up and sustain it. So it doesn’t matter if 999 people dislike it - bitcoin (and crypto) is a niche that can grow much larger without much additional enthusiasm. And the fact it’s worth so much blows people’s minds, making it like a global phenomenon that markets itself every time it goes up.

No one makes you buy bitcoin! If you don’t like it, just ignore it. I could list many more arguments here as to why different sorts of people value it, from libertarians to drug dealers to hedge funds to people in countries that have terrible fiat currencies and corrupt central banks, but ultimately it’s a variation of the government not having control.

One final thought is that the term “currency” confuses a lot of people. Whether it can actually be used like a dollar is moot - it’s an asset that can be used sometimes like a currency, but being a true currency is not required for utility and value. It’s a misnomer.
The trace is just the mathematical description of how you get from quantum to classical. The TL;DR is that a proper subset of a quantum system behaves, when considered separately from the rest of the system, as if it were a classical system even though it really isn't.

In general, BERT would be the most common one. RoBERTa is the same model but trained for longer, which turns out to work better. T5 is a larger model, which works better on many tasks but is more expensive.
Was that on ethernet? If so, there's nothing particularly nefarious: each building had a /24 and the building's name was in the reverse dns. It's not particularly different from how many [citation needed] commercial ISPs have town names in reverse dns, except the subnetting mirrors geography in a bit more detail. Dorm ethernet has since died.

If it was over WiFi, I would be much more concerned

The students have agreed to follow certain rules related to Covid. Why is it shocking that the university is evaluating whether they are following the rules and doing some enforcement?

It certainly can, at least if you intend to exchange it for tangible goods or services, or if you convert it to a government currency. Why do you think these sorts of transactions cannot be regulated?
Making (certain) illegal activities easier is one of the primary positive effects.
> not to give legal advice when I'm out of my depth

Maybe you're confused, I'm not giving any legal advice. First of all, there's no one to give legal advice to; but second of all, it's purely a procedural claim. It's like saying "if you don't pay your traffic ticket, your driver's license might get suspended." Similarly, if you ignore a subpoena, you'll go to a contempt hearing where you'll make your case to a judge.

How that constitutes "legal advice" is beyond me, it's simply a brute fact.
The standard Common Lisp namespaces I can count off the top of my head are variables/symbol macros, functions/macros, compiler macros, types/classes/condition types, class slots, TAGBODY tags, BLOCK names, THROW tags, restarts, documentation types. Users can easily define new ones.
Unpopular opinion: I never loved Slack and the Linux client wasn't working really well for me so I had to use the web one

I work for a company with thousands of employees and we used Slack in our small team, we chose it because the majority was already familiar with it (I voted for Mastodon) and we spent part of our team budget to pay for it

When COVID hit the fans and we started working from home, the company chose Teams as the collaboration platform for all of us

I don't love Teams either, but I honestly have to admit that the voice/video calls are incredibly reliable even on some shitty DSL connection I found myself using that had a packet loss ratio around 50% and no other alternative worked

For everything else Teams is worse than Slack, except for the integration with the AD domain and sharing documents with colleagues that never used anything else than Windows

On average Teams is as good as Slack and for casual users that only use chats and calls there is no difference at all

I can see why companies are switching to Teams, they have been MS customers for years and Teams comes bundled, it's one less contract to sign and one less vendor to start a relationship with.
Rarer? How? Why? I know multiple people who do it daily. A lot of Lisp code directly depends on foreign libraries.
