You're incorrect there. It depends on what context. M as in thousand are roman numerals, whereas M in greek would be million.

It's not counterintuitive at all, obviously the context here means that it's million, as you wouldn't note thousands as 2,450M in any way, it'd just be 2450. So the only remaining option is that it means million.

It's not even remotely confusing, I'm sorry.

You can turn Petri nets into stochastic nets using some formal procedures. Stochastic nets have a "master equation" which spits out a system of PDEs representing reactions where many many things happen at the same time, and so it makes more sense to think in terms of concentrations etc.

We are working to capture this categorically as well. We are perfectly conscious of how a discrete system won't help you if you have an Avogadro number of things going around. Just give us time. :)
Did they organise a militia, obtain weapons and ammunition, agree to meet at the Capitol and actually storm the Capitol, chant "kill him with his own gun" when they got hold of one police officer, and for real beat another police officer to death with a fire extinguisher?

Shit talking like that in private, in a bar in a heavily editorialised recording is one thing. I've been a student and Ive heard people brag about all kinds of stuff. Actually following through in the capitol with a violent, literally murderous insurrection is on a completely different level and it's frankly exasperating to me that you can't or won't see that.

you have to understand that the real power behind this work is not the Petri nets but that fact that they are described so abstractly that they can take on different shapes, such as stochastic nets, or coloured nets, or...

First off, your sarcastic premonition is already happening in the UK. r/loicence is a treat.

However, to be more serious, your comparison makes no sense. The redefinition of hate speech by a certain political quadrant led us down this path. As soon as the standard changes from “inciting physical violence” to “saying things I don’t like,” then whoever wields the most power can censor at will. Strict standards of free speech are the only moral course of action, despite what the advocates of redefining language would have you think.

A somewhat common use of XOR is p != q. It is actually an XOR.

Another useful way to think of XOR is "either p or q is true, but not both, and not neither."

It might help to put it in a suborbital trajectory, so it would basically go up, squirt, expand to a huge size, and drop back down, being hit by the intended object as it falls. You'd need a lot of foam to knock significant delta-v off the junk, and it would be catastrophically smashed by the thing impacting, but most of it would drop straight back down, and the bits blasted into orbit would be small and light enough to deorbit themselves.

"You don't have privacy on company equipment." is true (AFAIK) in USA, but false in a number of other countries e.g. Germany; so this depends on where you live/work.

In general, in Europe you can't contract away most of your privacy rights, so it's not even worth looking at your job contract because you signing "I allow the company to do X" does not necessarily mean that the company is allowed to do X.

I am SHOCKED at the ignorance of some comments here on how the timing and passing of legislation works in Congress. This was enacted on Dec. 31, 2020 but passed earlier, being introduced with bipartisan support the spring/summer (for house and senate, respectively) of 2019! Does anyone read before commenting? Talk about assumptions. Perhaps this is why the ills some are complaining about seem ubiquitous in their worldview.

You can actually extend the XOR trick for missing elements to any fixed number!

The standard (non-XOR) low-memory solution calculates the sum of x, x^2, x^3, ..., x^n, which gives enough information to find the missing elements as the roots of an n degree polynomial.

We can just do the same thing in the finite field F_{2^k}, where k is the bitwidth of the integers. Addition in this field corresponds to a bitwise XOR, so the first term gives exactly the 1-missing case!

I don't remember how to actually solve the resulting polynomial over the finite field though.
I’ve used GCP and I quite like it. However I would not recommend betting big on it. GCP as an extension of google has the same problems, they are way too big to care about small companies. They change their minds every now and then without upfront notice and kill things or deprecate them. Support is hard to reach.

In any case, think for your own self what you care about. There are tradeoffs of each cloud providers. I’ve found AWS provided me with a human touch and cares about my problems. Never quite used Azure (their portal is too complex).

In my mind, Google’s gonna be Google. They value automation and algorithms over human touch. It’s in their DNA. It’s what their hire for.

I would suggest that social media would be great especially through publicly available platforms like Twitter, or professional centric platforms like LinkedIn. With keyword searches, you'll be able to find professionals that match your criteria, and by monitoring followers and engagement level, you can determine a person's reputation and willingness to talk with others. Never lead with an outright request, however get to know your hoped-for mentor first; and, if you can, offer something of value to begin the relationship.

It's true that some element of grassroots activism will affect outcomes, but I think marketing, longevity, and UX make a larger difference.

The article is from 2017. Should've been put in the thread title, but yeah...
In principle, I agree with you. But there is a practical issue: if everyone used the same editor core, then we could all share improvements to it. Kinda like how the explosion of creativity in the Web (for good or for ill — I am still unpersuaded the JavaScript and SPAs are a good thing) was enabled by the common platform of HTTP+HTML+CSS+JavaScript.

Instead, we have some people writing extensions in elisp for Emacs, some in Vimscript for vim, some in JavaScript for VSCode, some brilliant madmen in rc for acme, some poor saps in Java for Eclipse.

In the end, I wonder if this is not more of a theoretical waste, though. Just like a command economy theoretically has less waste than a free market, but in practice every real-world free market has orders of magnitude less waste than any command economy, I wonder if in practice the profusion of editors has helped keep us from being locked into a local maximum (and argument which can be made against HTTP+HTML+CSS+JavaScript, BTW …).

It’s tough to say, it really is. For my part, I wish more folks would give Emacs a fair try, and I also wish that Emacs were a little easier to give a fair try. It is by far the single best editor/IDE/platform/OS out there.
In my experience on the fediverse, the content and people found there are definitely interesting. It is a friendly community filled with people talking about all sorts of topics.

If you're seeking highly curated and specific information, I doubt it is for you (at this point in time). With that said, there are some great bots which are helping to fill the place with content from traditional social media so that you don't miss out. For example, I follow a bot which posts HN threads above a threshold of points onto the timeline. This is how I keep up with HN, and it is how I found this post.

New federated apps are being developed all the time, too. A federated reddit alternative exists, which may one day satisfy your need for specialized/focused content on a given topic.

Right after I posted my comment I thought, someone is going to explain to me why it’s not confusing that “M” means “thousand” in some contexts but not others. Thank you!
Ah off by one errors are hard:

> 1 ^ 2 ^ ... ^ n ^ A[0] ^ A[1] ^ ... ^ A[n - 1]

should be

> 1 ^ 2 ^ ... ^ n ^ A[0] ^ A[1] ^ ... ^ A[n - 2]

Because a 0 indexed array of length n-1, has n-2 as it's last index. After all, it's missing a value.
I tend to think of the US isolationist stance as a temporary consequence of their loss of total control. Like pouty child who would prefer to pass entirely on cake than to have to share it with their siblings. The frustration to not have the final say anymore is real but reality has purchase and in the end I expect the US to sit at the conference table like everyone else. After all, with it's still mighty power, it's in a good position to negociate.

Now I might be wrong, maybe the isolasionist mentality is more profound than that. An historical argument to show how this is stance is not new is the refusal for the US to enter WWII until Japan basically forced their hand on the issue.
Correct, they are hardly related although AFAIK some merging was done during the last years
This has been my experience as well. Julia's salespitch is somehow misleading. You would think those C-speeds like are there right of the bat when in reality you need lots of contortions and tricks to get them.

Who can I throw money at to help make this happen? (Even one that only supported plain text chats and presence would be worth a lot, just so I don't have to have the whole beast running unless I'm actually in a video meeting)
As a user I hate it even more when my browser pops in an unwanted auto-complete dropdown obscuring a contextually-better and integrated auto-complete provided by the website, where it's obvious the website tried to suppress the native auto-complete but that broke at some point thanks to browser vendors thinking they know better than the wider developer community, and now there's two competing dropdowns both trying to do different things. I wish vendors would respect the HTML standard and stop thinking they can machine learn the website to guess what the user wants.

Case in point: CRM system with address fields for records. Chrome, I don't want to put my freaking address when I'm updating a customer address, nor do I want to save every customer address I add to my browser's address book.
Op was clearly not talking about Alpha Zero, a different technology made by different people for a different purpose. Instead, they were noting that despite displaying some truly excellent world modeling, GPT-3 is trained on data that encourages it to vomit up rehashes. It's very possible that the next generation will overcome this and wind up completely holding together long-run concepts and recursion, at least if scaling parameters keeps working, but for now it is a real limitation.

GPT-3 writes like a sleepy college student with 30 minutes before the due date; with shockingly complete grasp of language, but perhaps not complete understanding of content. That's not just an analogy, I am a sleepy college student. When I write an essay without thinking too hard it displays exactly the errors that GPT-3 makes.
Yup, all the good cooking shows are on YouTube now.

I abstract time into units. Small breaks shouldn’t convert into a time unit, and if it does, it simply wasn’t a small break.

I don’t track it, my time units are big enough to keep them ball-parked in my head. My tasks are scoped and small enough to have them ball-parked in my head in 2-3 week (or even monthly) chunks.

But, I don’t like time tracking in general so this is how I handle it in a minimal way.

I’m the opposite about task tracking/scoping. I just don’t let time be a major factor in it, mostly just define a deadline and scope around that.

I'm a heavy VIM user, and I pretty much only use J and K, almost never H and L. Pretty much everything else is more efficient anyway (w and b to jump to word boundaries, f / t to go to a specific character on a line, etc.) so by the time I'm resorting to that kind of navigation, I often use the arrows (or even the mouse!).
> Julia has to be way better than Python to give people an incentive to switch.

A language doesn't necessarily have to give all the old programmers an incentive to switch, if it can position itself as a good language for new programmers to learn.

For example: at our institute (computational biology), we had a PhD student who was an early Julia adopter and wrote his model in that. Several students have since joined the project he started, so obviously they're now writing Julia too. That project's experiences with the language were so good, it soon became obvious that for our use case, Julia was superior to any other language we'd used so far. So pretty much the whole research group has now shifted to Julia, and that's what we teach new students. Slowly, other groups in our institute became interested, and more and more people are adopting it, which in turn means that their new students will also end up learning it in future.

An interesting thing I experience in making friends later in life is mapping expectations about 'what friends do' (I guess I pester and expect to be pestered about a lot of personal things, the closer the friendship the more personal the teasing should be) to expectation 'new' friends have about the relationship.
I never unserstood that ridicule - I always thought it was an apt-description of the levels of ignorance we can honestly presume for ourselves. Refreshingly honest of Rumsfeld, if anything.
Some and Every Method in JavaScript
Giving money to the victim is a bad idea because it does nothing to prevent this crime in the future (taking money from perpetrator does that) but it creates perverse incentive for people to pretend to be victims of similar crimes and engage costly justice system in hopes they can get some money.

Then you have to balance it out with harsh punishments for unsubtantiated lawsuits but that could sometimes affect legit victims that were just short of evidence. It's better to not have the problem in the first place.

It would be better to just burn the money then to give it to the victims.

Victim separately could prove what actual harm was done and request support, but this should be completely separate process ideally financed separately, that disregards how rich is the perpetrator or how severele he violeted the law.

Same way money from fines shouldn't land anywhere near the cops that give the fines because this creates perverse incentive.
Most events people I know are betting on things being normal-ish by the fall. Doesn't mean they're right of course although they were right enough to shut things down at a time when many people were still thinking it wasn't that big a deal.

There are also gradations of normal although once you fully open up restaurants, have indoor concerts, packed auditoriums, etc. most things you could do to reduce spread are pretty much theater at that point (other than possibly requiring vaccinations to fly, enter venues, workplaces).
It is more confusing than in Slack but Slack uses a different section as well.

I don't like how Slack keeps only a limited list of recent chats there, the hit-miss ratio for me is terrible and I usually need to re-search for the person I want to chat with.
