Wow, I just tried it out. This is really great. And it solves my interactive plot saving requirement. Easy as doing `Plotly.savehtml(fig, "test_fig.html")` :). Thanks!
The thing about the “Use XOR to swap two variables” trick is that it’s a version of this solution which works for any two real numbers (or integers):

a = a - b
b = a + b
a = b - a

XOR is simply addition or subtraction modulo 2 for each bit, so making the above XOR looks like this:

a = a ^ b
b = a ^ b
a = b ^ a
Yes but at that altitude their orbital period is about 1/2 that of low orbits, meaning that even if two orbits do cross paths, there would be fewer potential collisions in a given time. They are 'slower' in relation to size of the sphere they occupy.
There's a multitude of reasons, touched upon in a metastudy of inappropriate lab testing in medicine [1,2]:

> “But, unexpectedly, on a per-test basis, we actually found that the main problem was tests being over-ordered during a patient’s initial examination, rather than during repeat tests. This indicates to us that ordering the right test during the initial evaluation may lead to fewer errors and better patient care,” he said.

a. Tests are not accurate, a false positive causes alarm and follow-up examination where none was present.

b. On the inverse: negative tests provide a false sense of security and good-health. [2] discusses this as the prime motivator for patient blood test requests.

c. Economic cost to the insurer or ultimately patient/taxpayer, not of the tests themselves but of the downstream examinations.

As a general rule in medicine: Don't treat a patient without signs or symptoms. When a persons feels healthy, they usually are healthy.

So, can't go into too many details, since I haven't started yet, I'm thinking about mixing a flavor of GPT with DETR for OCR tasks where the model then must predict categorization vectors, the chief difficulty of the task being that it must identify and classify arbitrary length content in the OCR.

For what it's worth, I've find Here Maps to be a step up from Apple Maps. Used to be owned Nokia, now it seems to be a big partnership between VW, BMW, Daimler, Intel, Mitsubishi and NTT.

Here has our complete transit system; Apple only has our 2 light rail routes and is missing our 80-some bus lines. Here has walking instructions and is adding Biking (still poor, but at least it has something). They have pretty good business contact information and hours, reviews aren't great since they're partnered with Trip Advisor, which is about a wash compared to Apple's Yelp partnership though.

I agree with the spirit of that ruling, that free speech equally requires the ability to receive information. But if we think that’s true, shouldn’t the same spirit apply to bans from social media platforms? Even if the law does not require the same of private companies, surely the same principles would apply?

Health privilege becomes a thing when access to healthcare becomes a barrier. I know the word ”privilege” is quite radioactive.

I was sick often as a kid and after finding a diagnosis I’ve been performing well among my age peers. Thank you Finnish healthcare. Couldn’t imagine how much it sets you back cognitively to have health issues as well as financial issues burdening your mind 24/7. Completely avoidable pain and suffering purely for profit.
It's security theater in the contex of HTTPS only on websites that aren't performing financial transactions. The idea that someone might figure out a way to do a TLS downgrade attack and force someone over to the HTTP site is not justification for HTTPS only in those cases.

I love TLS. I think it's the least worst system we have. But HTTPS only outside of it's proper context does a lot of harm and it's pointless. HTTP and HTTPS are two great tastes that go great together.
Most human communications between humans have some physical world purpose, and so an algorithm which is trained to create the impression that a purpose has been fulfilled whilst not actually having any capabilities beyond text generation is going to have negative effects except where the sole purpose of interacting is receiving satisfactory text.

Reviews that look just like real reviews but are actually a weighted average of comments on a different product are negative. Customer service bots that go beyond FAQ to do a very convincing impression of a human service rep promising an investigation into an incident but can't actually start an investigation into the incident are negative. An information retrieval tool which has no information on a subject but can spin a very plausible explanation based on data on a different subject is negative.

Of course, it's entirely possible for humans to bullshit, but unlike text generation algorithms it isn't our default response to everything.
Hi HN community! I wrote this blog for keeping a record while I was preparing for interviews. I am not a native speaker, so there might be some wording/grammar problems.

Yes, they went to INCREDIBLE lengths by, umm, spending a number of years creating an excellent language which drew enthusiastic folks who created INCREDIBLE packages on top of that base.

Seriously, when I learned Python (about 20 years ago) I thought it was amazing, and it was, because it let me do things I wouldn't have otherwise done (by reducing the cognitive load on the programming side so I could think more about my problem than the code).

Julia's giving me that kick again - more expressive than Python, doesn't just glue things together but integrates them, and can make code as fast as any language.
They're not even remotely comparable. For Google Maps to work effectively, you have to let Google record your location every five minutes until eternity, which it can and does use for ad tailoring. Apple Maps doesn't associate any location or direction data with account information and goes out of it's way to scramble the data it does store a bit so that people can't be identified.
YouTube is the only Google service that I still use and I think that’s fine.

Once you have everything else replaced, paying for YouTube premium and using it like Netflix is a good model.

I wouldn’t put personal videos up there, and if you’re a creator you should double post to YouTube and somewhere else in case your account is killed.
Thanks for the list! My list is similar:

> A common argument against the need for privacy that I have definitely heard in my family is “but I have nothing to hide”. Well, neither do I

This is completely missing the point of why one should fight surveillance. Surveillance harms journalism and activism, making the government too powerful and not accountable. If only activists and journalists will try to have the privacy, it will be much easier to target them. Everyone should have privacy to protect them. It’s sort of like freedom of speech is necessary not just for journalists, but for everyone, even if you have nothing to say.
Turning Air into Bread (2017)
I think the US is perfectly capable of inflaming itself regardless of what Russia does.

The core issue in the US is that there is very little crossover between the two parties anymore. There were pro-union Republicans in congress until the 90s, being anti-abortion used to be a position in the Democratic party that didn't get you primaried out of your seat. Now it's team A believes 1, 2, 3, and team B believes !1, !2, !3 and there is no room to come together, compromise, or moderate.

I don't know what the solution is, and Russia is certainly doing whatever they want to fan the flames, but I'd rather not use them to wallpaper over the very real issues in our national dialogue.
Anyone have a good alternative to Google Translate?

I hardly use anything directly from Google anymore, just the Search Console to keep track of what people search for on Goole Search for a handful of websites. But I do use Google Translate quite often, from different languages to English, and haven't found an alternative that I like.

I do know Yandex has a service like this, but I forgot about it :) I will check it out, just as the service from Microsoft. I would prefer to stay away from these 2 companies though.

So instead of having the whole file as JSON, which is lazy and not well thought-out, we'll put all content in JSON, then put that JSON inside a comment in a plain text file. Do I read you correctly?

I feel we're making progress faster than these lazy Jupyter org bandits.

I doubt he prioritized that over the political baggage it would create for his successors or his personal life. I wish he had been inspired by carter, but politically I think this must seem riskier than those pardons. The rhetoric around why prisoners shouldn't vote seem to underly a lot of the same thinking, but I wish we knew their rationale.
it's fundamentally a problem of proof and abuse of power. It's much less clear how one proves recklessness vs actual harm, and much easier to abuse power when the only standard for judgement is "what somebody else thinks is the inevitable (future) outcome" of a given action.
I believe there is a Firefox plugin that redirects to invidious but I don’t have enough experience with it (yet) to include it in my blog post. Also I have found it to be a bit of a hit or a miss.
If you really think that the reason for internal conflict in the USA is all down to external influences, I have to question whether you're actually familiar with the arguments of both sides in question. The concerns run much deeper than you might think on the surface, and both sides have very legitimate gripes.

Allowing things to be forced into a false dichotomy rather than the many, many nuanced positions that reality actually holds is probably more likely to be a source of strife and conflict. US social media companies are doing more to fan these flames than anyone else by actively deplatforming and censoring anyone who runs afoul of their social policies. What do you think all these people are going to do? Without any engagement on their concerns, will they just dry up and disappear? I strongly doubt it.

To ease the tensions, our first job is to stop viewing our neighbours as enemies. We want 90% the same things as anyone else: stability, safety, prosperity. We have different ideas of how to get there, but we share one thing: people telling us to hate each other based on strawman conceptions about what each other actually believes.
Also, fwiw--74 million Americans voted to reelect Donald Trump, despite his policy that forcibly separated children from their parents at the US Border...

Ditched YoutTube for Minds, BitChute, Odyssey, and Rumble, as well as some paid content sites (that aren't Amazon or Netflix).

Now that just leaves the phone. Librum 5 and pinephones are things I hear about. Replicant will always just be google light. That's the real last bastion of tech freedom to be conquered.
My understanding:

Hume says reality comes from our senses. Look at the Sun. You can say that exists. Look at sunlight. You can only say that's bright. The sun only exists because everything looks at it and agrees it's bright.

Build a really good telescope, point it at dark region of space. The telescope emits an energy wave making every atom in it's wake see a bright spot at that once dark region. Did humans just create a distant star or galaxy out of nothing? With instruments inside the sun, or matter waves far off in orbit, or coherent control of pair production, or imaging black holes, I think we could make a telescope like that. Does nature do that already, and would that help us live better lives, from targeted medical imaging to microwaving a distant asteroid.
Yeah, I really wish more things worked with U2F. I especially hate when I enable U2F on a site it works on (Twitter) and then every time I log in it does an sms code anyway, even though I have U2F enabled and would much prefer to use it, but like having my phone number as a recovery backup.

“Of the 18 crossovers I talked to, 16 said yes.“

I’m just as surprised to see the number be this high. I can’t help but wonder if this might be due to survivorship bias: crossovers are, after all, self-selecting. Perhaps not all engineers would say the same, if forced to swap roles.

Regardless, I’m excited to hear more from these crossovers. As a (soon-to-be) recent graduate, I think there can tend to be a great difference in perception between CS students and Engineering students, particularly at institutions without rigorous CS programs. Many tend to view CS students in the same way that some CS students view bootcamp students- people motivated by an “easy path to success”. I’ve found this opinion is rarely held of engineering students, given the reputation of engineering programs. I think it’s very useful to profile the motivators, mindsets, and general attitudes between the disciplines, if only to see that perhaps the difference isn’t as large as one might assume.

And in the old days people were accustomed to be able to resolve local hostnames, without having to supply any domain part. The "search" keyword in resolv.conf is a remnant of this. By adding a final dot, you ensured that the domain part you wrote referred to the global DNS root, not any local one. Unless of course someone had changed "ndots" which controls how many dots are needed to disable the search feature.

No. I don't know why everyone is getting so much fixated with the epidemiological aspect, that in our paper is barely mentioned. Ours is a technical contribution that uses results from groupoid theory and homotopy theory to provide a framework where different flavors of nets given in the last 30 years or so can be nicely interconnected.

Applications are not the central focus of this paper. There are about a ton of applied papers out there employing Petri nets in computing, chemistry, epidemiology etc. This paper is not one of them. We just mentioned, in passing, how different flavors of nets have been applied in the last decades. We deem this to be an interesting paper for people working in Petri nets theory, because it systematizes decades of research. I'm pretty sure it will be of little interest for anyone not directly involved in Petri net research. :)
