Not news. Tempered glass pops all the time. Its purpose and manufacturing process are indicative as to why this happens.
Given the non-linear dynamics that proteins must live under, I like the usage of local minima as an analogy. It feels apt.

Generally though, within the context of machine learning, one of the benefits of gradient descent, especially when stochastic, is that we can get past those local minima humps. Does this hold less true with respect to the process of sequence mutation that viruses go through?
I'm sure that if we would 'relax' bioethics standards we could make faster progress.
Should retailers ban the sale of Trump merch after the events of 2021-01-06?
At what point do retailers like Amazon and Walmart start looking like profiteers off of domestic terrorism by selling the emblems of insurrection and sedition. In my view that point was reached when banners of an active rebellion were flown instead of Old Glory at the Capitol. Should retailers be boycotted until emblems of sedition are removed from sale?

My guess is the glass is fine. The panel gaps are probably a symptom of the same problem of general misalignment putting too much strain on the glass.
"Although the video is somewhat grainy, the fact that they burst outward, rather than inward, would seem to suggest that the inciting force wasn’t a pebble or other object striking the window from outside."

That is actually not true with vehicle windows. They often are tempered and layered so they usually pop back with the force of getting something hit and blast out. Not saying this isn't spontaneous but my experience with car windows breaking is most of the glass ends up on the outside when struck from the outside.

You haven’t gone into what these companies are doing, but I fully believe you.

As stated before, the fundamental disconnect is that you are imagining a world where all subsequent development on your code is done via SLIME and sockets or some similar REPL instance. You see this as simple because you wouldn't consider developing without SLIME / sockets in the application, but consider the other side of the coin. If I am a developer who does not use SLIME / socket connections as my default development pattern, my first step to contributing to your codebase is to either (i) convert to this workflow and toolset, or (ii) develop all of the CLI shims you described, including maintaining them as functionality changes. That leaves me between a rock and a hard place, especially if my text editor of choice doesn't have good SLIME support.

Also, I do not quite buy the simplicity of the standalone tool conversion; it assumes the relevant functions are naturally well-suited as entry points, including handling malformed inputs, etc., very cleanly. In my experience, many things that make sense at a REPL in a live system need to change dramatically to mature into robust command-line tools.

As for deployment, the interactivity I am describing is exactly the linkage you mention, and it really does come down to shipping a development environment as part of the deployment environment. Shipping a binary with a swank server or similar introduces binary size issues, portability issues (you have to ship dependent libraries along with the binary), and some serious security implications. And while this may be the "lisp way", modern languages manage to avoid these issues just fine.

Part of the reason for Tesla's quality issues getting extra attention is because their brand positioning is very much about how they are superior than the competition and more of a "tech" company than a car company. So for an alleged "tech" company to have equal to or worse quality issues in an old industry, and possibly lagging its competitors in this quality regard, is inviting critics to call Tesla and Elon out as hypocrites.

I am not currently short Tesla and not all criticism against them is fair. My point is more along the lines of "If you make big claims and brag about yourself, the onus is on you to deliver."
> But once-popular works such as The Road to Wigan Pier are now in danger of falling into obsolescence, as the social circumstances that Orwell describes seem less and less relevant to a 21st-century readership...

Not surprising that this sentence was written by someone in the UK; to the US reader it's still quite relevant: for a significant proportion of the population life is just as desparate and his trenchant commentary on the Fabians (closest to contemporary US socialists) as earnest, sandal-wearing vegetarians is apposite here, not just metaphorically but just as often literally as in his time.
Nice article.

It doesn't go into the new fancy stuff happening - customized flashlight firmware.

It basically addresses a major problem with flashlights - crappy UI.

Flashlights seem to be designed for every use case, except it doesn't fit any specific person in particular.

It depends on the amount of effort you're willing to put in. If you just want something that works out of the box and isn't Apple or Goolag controlled, check out the Librem 5 or the PinePhone.

If you're willing to put in a little effort, check out which phones support the latest LineageOS version (e.g. Samsung Galaxy S5 or the LG G3).

The FairPhone might be worth considering because of its repairability but the FairPhone 3 isn't supported by LineageOS yet.

> As with all emojis, depictions of the bagel emoji vary by vendor. While the bagel's cousin the Doughnut generally appears with chocolate frosting, WhatsApp shows this as a strawberry flavor instead.

This is an interesting claim. I assume they mean that WhatsApp shows the doughnut with pink frosting. But pink frosting is common on actual doughnuts, and it is almost always unflavored, not strawberry flavored.
Lots of people who are obese have tried like hell to "get in shape" and failed. It's not actually a slam dunk solved problem to say "Just lose the weight."

It pretty much is a slam dunk solved problem to say "If you are deficient in X, redress that." We know how to redress a vitamin D deficiency pretty confidently, simply and in a straight forward fashion.

I lost several dress sizes without trying by redressing other things, primarily nutrient deficiencies. I focused on eating an aggressively nutritious diet to redress a long list of deficiencies rooted in a genetic disorder that causes gut dysfunction.

So my experience fits with the general idea that "Solving obesity is harder than it looks and the solution may be something non obvious in any given case." Maybe our mental models of what is going on there will evolve and what I am saying will be "the obvious answer" to future generations, but it's not what is currently believed to be what works to solve obesity.

The current mantra is "Calories in. Calories out." and leads to metrics like "Eat less and exercise more" and some people find that wholly unworkable or unsustainable for various reasons.
For a long time (maybe still?) it was common for police forces to buy cars which were keyed alike. What happened when those cars were gradually replaced? Well, the new cars had to be keyed to match the old ones, and taxis or anyone else in the market for old police cars would unwittingly be able to unlock the entire police fleet.
The author says that in userspace memcpy, AVX is used, but

> The implementation of copy_user_enhanced_fast_string, on the other hand, is much more modest.

Why is that? I mean, if you compiled your kernel for a wide range of machines, then fine, but if you compiled targeting your actual CPU, why would the kernel functions not use AVX?
I would also venture to guess that it is either installation problem or issue with body part.

Referencing a bunch of random academic sources doesn’t make your argument any stronger.

The attitude of the media and the Democratic Party in general has absolutely been “You’re dumb and wrong.” As my initial comment said, this accomplishes the exact opposite thing. People feeling lost and ripped off aren’t going to suddenly change their mind because talking heads on CNN assured them everything was legit. Especially when these sources spent the last four years becoming highly partisan. It’s difficult to even recognize The NY Times anymore, they’ve fallen so far. Skepticism seems like a rational move to me.

‘Courts dismissing cases’ is not equivalent to an investigation. As I said before, my primary concern is reducing polarization. I really don’t care how much it costs. Any price is worth avoiding serious civil unrest.

Parties come to agreements on the extent of investigations all the time and there is zero reason a similar compromise couldn’t be worked out for the sake of the country. Of course, no one will do this, because it doesn’t benefit them personally.
> Once I sat down and read the Cmake basics, yes, it was easy enough to get OpenCV working with basically the code you posted, except I couldn't find a way to include the contrib modules in an Android version, it would always complain Aruco wasn't there.

If this worked on desktop, I would assume this to be a bug in the OpenCV cmake files, there's no reason for aruco not to be in OpenCV_libs if my understanding of the OpenCV build system is correct (but then I did not really have to fight it)
I don't know if I can agree with the normal deterrence methods being ineffective. Despite claims of insurrection, they basically pushed their way into the building and then stood around. What stopped them from doing a lot worse wasn't that anyone could have stopped them in the moment, it was the deterrent (or the optics, which is effectively the same thing).

And different measures could make a marginal difference one way or the other, but if you have a huge mob of people trying to get into a building not explicitly designed to be a fortress, that's pretty hard to stop.
> it unequivocally identifies Asimov as a Communist and apologist for Stalin

It critiques 1984 for it's narrow focus on the Stalinist form of totalitarianism, but I see no actual apologia for Stalinism. (The closest is the acknowledgement of the role the USSR under Stalin played as an ally against the Nazis.)

It does argue that 1984 misses the internal instability of totalitarianisms like Stalinism, which besame evident after 1984 was written.

> His critique of the science fiction, that screens which watch you back is a poor prediction (because how on Earth could Google watch people at scale?!) is particularly hilarious, if a bit sad.

The critique isn't of screens that watch you back, but of the failure of imagination of Orwell envisioning only screens by which a human watches you in real time rather than one that does so by some automated, scalable means.

Most of what you describe is less a California thing than an inherent challenge in building a consumer product that:

A) has mind-boggling amount of compute available wherever you go in an insanely small form factor

B) no active cooling meaning you need to be able to vent the heat out of the CPU/RAM/GPU into the ambient environment

C) battery thermals are impacted by temperature

D) hit a price point that balances what people with pay vs margins and how much value you’re willing to invest in any given feature of the device.

It’s more useful to view this as engineering trade offs that would be made regardless of where the engineers are located physically. The engineers that need it are supplied with ovens and freezers to test out different physical environments. These are trillion dollar companies. The equipment or having staff experience and access the right environment isn’t a challenge nor a blind spot.
That's absolutely a real and serious issue, but it's a separate issue to the dissolution and reform of the East German police during unification, which didn't lead to a communist insurgency.
For most people there will always be a gate keeper for internet communication, because most people aren't informed or capable enough to know how to, say, register their own domain, much less know what to do with it.

It's not a strawman. The posts I answered virtually said that the reason extremists still hold their extreme position is due to "the left" being too combative and being unable to create arguments to debate with the extremists. Note I'm not saying "the right" to refer to them.

I'm not talking about "the right" here. The right is too varied (as is the left). I'm talking about extremists.

I pointed out that some extremists are not even willing to listen to people on the right itself. Pence and Fox News are definitely not calling people "idiot trumpsters" and are still being attacked by them.

It's not even a matter of the left trying to engage in discussion. People have screamed at me and called me "sheeple" for wearing a mask in the supermarket. How do you engage? I just left. Am I the cause of the problem for not speaking a word before or after the engagement?

The left can't improve the situation by trying to debate with people that's unwilling to debate in the first place, period.

I don't think there will ever be a "truly" decentralized twitter that is popular, because it would necessary have to lack any type of non-first-person moderation, and we as a society would probably not want that.

It would attract types of information that most of us would agree that we do not want around (child porn, terrorism planning, etc) and with any sort of traction, the government would step in to shut it down.

And before you say "it can't be shut down" ... anything can be shut down when you control the means of financial transactions, Internet cables, and a police/judicial system to punish those that go too far out of acceptable bounds.

Hello Everyone.

I’ve been working on a project called DFlex: https://github.com/jalal246/dflex that contains multiple packages all written in Pure JavaScript to manipulate DOM elements in a completely new way depends on creating a DOM registry.

The ultimate result is moving every element from destination to target with CSS animation. This means all possible operations should be done in 60fps.

It is also extendable. In most existing solutions the more elements you are trying to manipulate the more lagging you get. Here, no matter how many elements you are dealing with it’s always going to interpret each movement to CSS transform without asking the browser to get the node for each request. It is not restricted to any frameworks I have examples for React and Vue with some explanations inside each package. And maybe add more later. It includes:

• DOM Generator DOM relations generator algorithm.
• DOM Store Traverse through the DOM tree using element id.
• Drag & Drop Lightweight Solution for a Drag & Drop App based on enhanced store algorithm.
• Draggable High-performance draggable elements.
• Unit test & end to end test
• Packages are decoupled and work separately. Each package has it own universe including test and playground

There's a lot to add and improve with new packages. I am looking for contributors who like to get involved in open source. So, if you are interested, open an issue, or pull request. I need your support. Thank you!
