"There's no evidence the Saudis hacked Jeff Bezos's iPhone.

This is the conclusion of the all the independent experts who have reviewed the public report behind the U.N.'s accusations. That report failed to find evidence proving the theory, but instead simply found unknown things it couldn't explain, which it pretended was evidence.

This is a common flaw in such forensics reports. When there's evidence, it's usually found and reported. When there's no evidence, investigators keep looking. Todays devices are complex, so if you keep looking, you always find anomalies you can't explain. There's only two results from such investigations: proof of bad things or anomalies that suggest bad things. There's never any proof that no bad things exist (at least, not in my experience)."

I think the article implies a bit of a strict convention for the apostrophe (which is used as an ascii prime mark), as implying a strict version of the unprimed name. I think it’s usage is more general and just means something “similar but slightly different” to the unprimed name.

I mean, they could ideally go PC and Stadia (since it is basically PC with fixed specs) -> Xbox One/PS4 -> Xbox Series/PS5. It wouldn't hurt the contract with Google and it would help with the terrible technical state on consoles.

> Which one is more readable?

Both are equally readable to me.

Now, granted 128 1 28 28 can be difficult to understand without documentation but that is not due to Lisp's fully parenthesized prefix notation. The Clojure code would also look equally readable if it had used keyword arguments.

Are you sure you are not confounding familiarity with readability? With Lisp, after a while, the parentheses become invisible to the programmer.

VictoriaMetrics (VM) is incompatible with Prometheus only in things which seemed to be "wrong" or "not good enough" in original. There was a very very long discussion about rate/irate implementation in Prometheus long before VM existence, and VM just fixed that and a bunch of other things.

And about "throws away part of your data" - let's be clear here. It is a precision loss while converting floating point numbers, not data dropping. Instead, user gets a superior compression and query performance which is a good trade off in my opinion.

For those who are interested in details of comparison VM vs Prometheus pls read the following article https://valyala.medium.com/evaluating-performance-and-correc...

But that's due to named parameters vs. positioning, not parenthesis; I can mirror your argument with:

Python:

Clojure:

(defonce net-bp
(network (desc :input-shape [128 1 28 28]

It all depends on how desc is defined.

This can't work; you can say that gmail's system should have a component that recognizes the difference between various failures, but that new component can itself fail. You can't solve the problem of "what if something fails" by saying "just add a new component that won't fail".
I'm playing on the PS4 slim and yes, there were some crashes and some graphics bugs, but so far the game's at least a solid 8 for me. I was actually worried while downloading and reading all the comments from the doomsayers on reddit, but I figured that they will eventually fix the bugs and I do like Deus Ex-style games so I don't really have much to lose by getting it now.

If one liked Deus Ex: Mankind divided they will like Cyberpunk 2077.

Imperceptible with a controller on TV (as compared to an Xbox One on the same TV, which has a decent amount of input lag already).

On Chrome on PC with a low-latency gaming monitor, you can notice the difference if you play a game natively and then stream it, but honestly you stop thinking about it pretty quickly as long as your ping is under ~25 ms or so.

The question I get me from your dilemma: it is worth the time evaluating a source for trustworthiness ?

I see it as a proxy for actual cross checking every time, but more and more, cross-checking is needed anyway. Some sources could be permanently rejected, but ‘trustworthy’ sources consistently miss important information that only come in corrections with a significant delay. If we’re not taking the info at face value, the “trust” part is not there anyway.

And if we’re talking about well thought and researched pieces, I’d argue we should also take the time to think about them and do our own sanity checks.

> The Zen 2 release offered 99% of the gaming performance of an intel chip

Zen 2 is a good deal for it's overall versatility and particularly the amount of physical cores one gets for the amount of money paid.

But gaming wise Zen 2 struggles to keep pace with any Intel CPU above the 10600k, particularly when the Intel's are overclocked, where they have much more headroom than both Zen 2 or Zen 3.

Meaning that anybody who wanted maximum gaming performance, above all else, had pretty much no other choice except for Intel, that only changed with Zen 3, last month.

Now with Zen 3 AMD has the "crown" in both gaming and productivity with CPUs like the 5900x, but that comes at the cost of a price premium as Zen 3 is not nearly as generously priced as Zen 2.
As a consumer I can't see that as anything but positive.

Most SV unicorns are overvalued and their technology is not nearly as important to the world as they think it is. Once they reach a certain scale it can easily do more harm than good.

The endless pursuit to "disrupt" and grow to please shareholders is the wrong dangling carrot for entrepreneurs. It only promotes "growth hacking" and other shady get-rich-quick schemes.

If your regulator valves close completely when target temp is reached, this should work:

- Set target temp for each room.

- Implement 2-step control using min(current_temps[]) and max(current_temps[])

So basically:

- if any room is below set_temp - X degrees, turn on

- if any room is above set_temp + Y degrees, turn off

Log and plot the temperatures, you should see some kind of sawtooth wave that flattens at the peaks due to the valves closing. Adjust the X/Y values to start/stop heating earlier or later to reduce the temperature variance.
>If a pro photographer is on an assignment, sure they're almost certainly going use a high-end camera--probably a full-frame DSLR/mirrorless.

And even here, "almost certainly" is the key term. E.g. Alex Majoli shot wars for Magnum Photos with compact digital cameras (this one: https://www.dpreview.com/articles/9257233153/olympusc5060 ) and won awards.

And of course tons of pro photographers have shot with the iPhone and such phones. Even more so in photojournalism, street photography, documentary photography etc.

Now, ad work, wedding, magazine portraiture, etc will of course mostly use their medium formats or $10K mirrorless setups...

The issue is that hard bounces can cause big issues with your email sending reputation, and too many can make you lose access to mailing services such as Amazon SES, so you're encouraged at all points during the implementation of anything that sends email to blacklist any bounced emails. This of course works fine, right up until Gmail starts bouncing all emails.
But most importantly, search keywords now become blue on activation. I am unreasonably pleased with this improvement.

If there is something I've learned from AWS outages (they tend to publish detailed post-mortem), no matter how you design your architecture in a distribute way you will always have Single Point of Failure (SPOF) and sometimes discover SPOF you didn't think of.

That's not true. Most native speaks have little knowledge of the grammar and syntax beyond intuitive. They have forgotten most of what they've been taught at school, plus, they could speak quite well before going to school and being taught grammar in the first place. We acquire language by osmosis, not by studying, and even less so by studying the syntax.

A super AI won't be magical. Its capabilities will be extremely limited without a network of cooperative parties supporting it. Working within such a network, it would have vast capabilities of course.
