You can't redefine what free will means and expect people to take you seriously. Free will means you have the ability to choose, and if you agree with me that the universe is deterministic, then you have to admit that making a choice is only an illusion. I can make choices in the same way that a neutron chooses to move toward more massive objects. I eat vanilla ice cream over dirt because I have taste buds that allow me to taste the difference between the two. Eating dirt instead doesn't prove I had a choice, because now I'm not eating dirt for taste, but to win an imaginary argument about free will. It's not the external world I'm reacting to now, but the internal one.

Your scenario is irrelevant because you admit that those processes, which you don't control happening in your brain, are still you. But if they are you, and you don't have control over them, you only become aware of them after the fact, then you JUST ADMITTED you don't have any choice. The choice was already made by something you have no control over, but only watch as a passenger. Your heart beats without your choice. You will pass out and have to breath because your brain will force you to at some point stop holding your breath. You will remove your hand from an external heat source that you did not expect AUTOMATICALLY, and only then become aware that your body moved milliseconds after the stimulus has already short-circuited through your PNS and not your CNS. If you think that the distinction doesn't matter, then you are still willfully lying about the reality, or intentionally want to deceive people about the physical world and how it works by redefining any word you need to to maintain your hallucinated reality.

RSS is awesome and I love using it but so many platforms and newsletters don't offer it. Thanks for the rec on HNRSS!
If you’re going to be the CEO of a terrorist propaganda site, your first job is keeping the site up. ISIS would have fired al-Baghdadi too if he couldn’t get his message out.
An article to help your first dev.to article
That’s something that I was thinking about. The “Story” interaction model seems to be very compelling for consuming serialized information on a small screen, it’s nicer than scrolling because the content covers all of the screen all the time and gets all your attention and you can very quickly decide if you are interested or not.

It’s very good on mobile, so much better than scrolling since scrolling is mentally taxing due to ads and menus and constantly requiring you adjusting the position of your content.
https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7217 is one way.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Developer_Transition_Kit#Condi...:

“The DTK was made available strictly to developers on a loan, not purchase basis, at a cost of US$500”

⇒ Any anger should be about that contract, not about this offer (which is better than what people signed up for), and, IMO, would have to have been vented at least half a year ago.
Are you affirming munificent's claim of "SV hubris" or do you actually feel you made more of an impact at Mozilla? This is an honest question; I can't tell which way you are trying to go with your comment.
I agree with everything in that article which is about not obsessing over dividing tasks equally.

It isn't about the shitty contract itself. You extrapolated it to be about something the article is not by seeing "marriage + transaction" as the similarity.

Divorce is a probability in a marriage, this article isn't about that.

Whether divorce is a 50% probability or a 10% probability (which it is miraculously now close to, for the new class of wealthy spouses marrying economic equals for the first time in history), these are still non-negligible odds. These are horrible odds of adversity in any other kind of agreement that “coincidentally but ah I want to ignore it” have explosive financial consequences.

Sure, debris mRNA may affect neuron electrical potentials. But this would be an extremely wonky way for neurons to regulate electrochemical propagation. One that has not been observed irl, afaik. However we know a ton about how neurons directly regulate electrical potentiation by modifying the expression of postsynaptic neurotransmitter receptors. The mechanism is simple... the more receptors in a given synapse, the greater the dendritic membrane will depolarize from each upstream signal (signal being each synaptic release of a neurotransmitter vesicle by the upstream axon). Electrophysiology instruments are so sensitive now-days that we can detect, in a quantized way, the release of single synaptic vesicles. We can then do things to increase synaptic expression of neurotransmitter receptors, and find that each vesicle release results in a greater depolarization of the downstream neuron. Long story short, the quantity of neurotransmitter receptors at postsynaptic membranes is a physical correlate (probably the primary physical correlate) of synaptic weights in artificial neural networks.
It works for loading safari links I know but I needed something that can show me the text content of the qr code since this was not a link.
But policy evaluation isn't the goal. Hinkel has dishonestly shifted the goalposts.
And I thought they were improperly profiting off the term 'open source'. But they also are (allegedly) ripping-off another's work? That's not cool at all.
I can think of plenty of SV darlings that would take far longer than a month to recover from such an event.

That said, given the content Parler was hosting they really should've planned for something like this, so it makes sense to terminate the CEO.

Your car is only second in the place you feel comfortable to your home. I'm at work all day (pre covid) and my home is sitting empty 50% of the time, so why should I own a home, maybe I can just sleep in a shared fractionally owned home.

Never going to be accepted, by all means electrify cars and make them smarter and have robotaxis for when I can't drive. But the car ownership thing will never go away.
Seems bad news for the Homebrew community as well. Isn't it plausible that some old, less popular but perfectly working formulae will stop working, at least for a while?

I particularly hope that the migration won't mean that older binaries (e.g. Python 2) will disappear completely. Even if homebrew deliberately won't serve them today, they are a valuable archive.

Is there a complete mirror available already?
I suspect that “image search with safe search turned off” is taken as a signal of intent...
This particular issue you cite has little to do with customer funds. Look up delivery-versus-payment. In foreign exchange, for example, one can avoid this issue by settling via a provider like CLS [0]. I’m reasonably confident that stock transactions are immune to the problem you’re imagining.

In any case, I think it would be entirely ridiculous for one’s stock broker to front the entire purchase price for each and every stock purchase to secure customers against counterparties who might take the money and not deliver the stock. This would involve the broker coming up with 100% of the price, not merely an amount related to the anticipated worst-case P&L.

Could I write a plug-in that mapped to Cypher? I’ve got a graph use case in mind where I want to use RedisGraph but don’t feel comfy with Redis as a primary DB and would totally consider a columnar store as a primary if I didn’t have to serialize.
Medications have an effect because they are drugs and drugs work. I wouldn't read much into it beyond that. Every person will have to decide if the overall results are worth whatever cost/benefit.

The idea that the drugs "cure" or "treat" is just a social construct to justify their usage.

From first hand experience, it doesn't take much to get an ADHD diagnosis, as long as you seem credible and not drug seeking. I could ask my psychiatrist for practically any drug I wanted. It does not seem like a viable long term solution for me.
Apparently IBM finally got the memo that for 95% of applications a blockchain is merely an ad hoc, informally-specified, bug-ridden, slow implementation of half of a database.
I can't imagine the kind of Stupids that are steering mozilla, but they definitely want people to move to chrome.

They disabled many loved extensions by power users for absolutely no reason at all! after those power users spend years bending to all their capricious changes. moving to webextension? done. moving to a new mobile UI? done. But, they still want you to move to chrome no matter what.

We should take firefox out of their hands before it is too late.
Congrats on this book! I did a computer graphics class for my undergraduate and we used this fat OpenGL book bible to try and implement some functions.

Things got very hard with ray tracing and later u,v texture mapping, etc. Making a note here so I can try your book out sometime!
It's an extra on the Dracula Complete Legacy collection; I don't think it's rare or anything, usually it gets bundled with Universal's collections of Dracula films i think.
Gab.com is doing a great job at this.
Oh I agree it is an excellent browser for many things, and it is nicely "unOpinionated" on many things. It really only trips me up with web sites that are trying to "guess" my web browser and they guess wrong and then Safari ends up doing something stupid because the webdev thought it was firefox or chrome.
This is a really cool idea! I would be interested to see how blockchain plays into this mix, especially as some platforms offer completely decentralized websites. If you are looking to build a Facebook, be careful as many decentralized platforms have tried but failed due to the lack of content moderation. I do think that if you marketed the absolute f*ck out of this, and show why FB sucks and why this is better, then you could def get lots of users. If your looking to grow you need to focus on building a community (allow people to interact and make it super easy), and from there, you should see something like FB emerge.

Assuming this speculation is correct (just for fun), then we can wonder about the memory model of the body.

This would be a distributed memory system, as obviously not all RNA molecules in the body could transit from memory state M0 to M1 spontanuously. So there has to be a consensus and propagation mechanism. Wouldn't it be cool if it turned out to be something like CRDTs?
Most compilers won't fsync will they? The output is likely not being written straight to disk.

I think the whole initiative process is horrible. But.

Your answer is right there in the declaration of independence: "to secure these rights, governments are instituted among men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed". Rather than going through the legislative process, the idea is that some things should be decided by the people directly.

The original intent of ballot initiatives (propositions) was to try to nullify special interest power over the legislature. If you think AB5 was special-interest legislation (it very clearly was) this might be the exact intended use of the ballot initiative process. For the popular vote to nullify what the special interest-controlled legislature wanted. And it worked.

An entirely separate question is what kind of questions should be decided by direct democracy in the first place. I think California goes too far in this regard, but I don't think the right answer is "none". Regardless of one's political beliefs, I think something on the scale of Brexit was put to the electorate in a direct vote, and probably with reason.
What does this even mean??? These numbers don’t mean anything. You’re talking about people who’ve been intolerant of hate and shut down less of it than they should have, vs people who’ve tolerated or even welcomed and amplified hate because it suits them. Who fucking cares if they’re 10% apart? The difference is brownshirts or not.
Thanks, nice find. Mahua oil, I wouldn’t thought of that...
And now with Facebook and Twitter, the idea of the "open web" is irrelevant to most people since they get everything they want or need from those two places.
But it was really about robust business relationships rather than robust technology, wasn't it? According to then-CEO John Matze, their bank, lawyers, text and mail delivery services also cancelled on them.
Those people may lose membership in Developer Program. Also, DTK will become less and less functional as it’s not supported by OS updates. But not a very strong incentive over laziness for someone who isn’t actually a developer.

None of the RSS that I follow are from blogs, however.

Most of it is from webcomics that I follow, YouTube channels, and media aggregator websites that inform me whenever a new episode is out of a television series I follow.

All of these websites surely added it themselves deliberately.

Google Maps, Windows Phone, and an avoidable mess (2013)
You have 20 extensions that were "approved" by mozilla more than a year ago! All the others are banned forever.

You can install uBlock, but not uMatrix. Many many extensions are banned just because they reviewed ONE extension that they preferred for a certain usecase. For example, for OLED phone night reading, there's the most installed at the time extension "Dark Background and Light text" that offered many customizations and worked on reader mode, and more importantly redish text/links. But too bad, because Mozilla picked the one with NO settings, but a nicer icon (which is literally disney's darth vader, but who cares) called "dark reader" which only have bright blue links and white text (and despite the name do not work on reader mode), and because there is already one extension with "dark mode" they will never whitelist the others, or even provide a setting to enable it on your own.
You can avoid project related issues by using the here package.

I suspect Biden talking up the defense production act was mostly for show. Reading this post, there aren't any easy bottlenecks, and everyone knew this was coming, so they did what they could to ramp up production.

This is where someone helpfully lays out a step by step justification of how the words technically fit, if you squint from the right (left) angle.
I love this idea. I agree, there are platforms like SkillShare but none really curate YT videos that are actually good. If possible try to include captions bc many people use them on yt and will be a small feature people expect. I would try to build up a group of people who are avid YT viewers to help you find videos for all categories. Also including a section for beginner, intermediate, and advanced would be awesome - bc learning python from the start isn't optimal for an advanced programmer.
Given that he initially represented that they had no real hard dependencies on AWS, I assume that the Mercers quickly lost patience when it became clear that they were locked into AWS, with no contingency.
If you honestly believe that, then who cares who wins? You'll just get one of two different brands of corrupt, power hungry, greedy, totalitarian regimes. That may happen regardless, but I for one won't be cheering it on.
I have limited explosure to Bill Frisell, but he seems to have a diverse sound and can play many different genres of music. Thanks for sharing.
This comment appears to take an unwarranted parochial approach to how to taxonomically call something “reinforcement learning.” This is just not relevant to the content of the interview and the discussion of the large-scale recommendation problem as RL.
> Why does a populist law get to stand more firm than one passed by the elected representatives of the people?

Because the people only vote once in two years and the reps vote all the time. Because the people need to collect 50k signatures and usually more and the reps need zero. This is obvious.
this was unknown to me. thanks for sharing
I am deeply afraid of 3 things: complexity, obscolescence and code without tests.
I do too, but we don't get security updates. It is ridiculous that they went backward like this.

If someone has a better explanation then Google paying them for doing that, please let me know. I think Mozilla's new CEO is a sock puppet like most of the sheep out there (including me sometimes).
Theoretically, if I could fix your brain without you even being aware of it so that you don't die from brain cancer, I would.

If I had to physically do it via surgery like our best attempts in science can do today, I would operate if you came to the hospital for the procedure.

When it comes to altering your brain so that you like vanilla instead of chocolate, I would not do that. Some things require consent absolutely. Some things do not, like resuscitating a person if you are an EMT and sworn to do no harm. Consent isn't the end all be all of the debate, not by a long shot.

For example, do you ask the murder to consent to going to jail or do you put the murderer in jail against their will?
Tangential question: does anyone have recommendation for a good beginner's microscope? Preferably that plays well with Linux and can be used to record photos/short videos etc. Something to get the kids excited :)
>it didn't turn out to be harder than I thought it was going to be.

Fair.

I've done my as well. Most of the "company" sites don't tell you much, which I think is a legal thing. They aren't cleared to release clinical predictions from genotypes, so they just... don't. I ended up running my through promethease (which mines SNPepedia) and found quite a bit more than what was reported.

I work with some certified clinical geneticists and yeah they do take a much closer look, but at the end of the day its all just sequencing and interpretation. I think its mostly just safeguards to keep bad actors at bay.

PGP looks interesting. I see that you submitted phenotype data. I didn't know they had a questionnaire with that. That's actually really interesting. I need to see what kind of questions they ask.
Iunno. That looks like "where angels fear to tread" territory to me.

by doing *exactly* what Google sued microsoft for trying to do with IE in the 90s. Isn't it funny?
Turkish e-commerce sites are experimenting on this model.

Instead of giving you list of banners, they give you instagram like stories where each story is a promotion of a product.

You tap on a story and quickly skim through all of the deal instead of trying to get oriented among the clutter.

However I don’t see widespread adoption, maybe it’s not working that well for content that is essentially ads only.

Probably because it would still be significantly cheaper to just sub/dub the english version. And finding quality casts for all the languages would be a lot harder too.

I'd much rather watch a foreign production with top quality actors subbed in english than an assembly line english version with sub par acting.

(Although I can see it being alright for stuff you already don't expect to be quality, like soaps)
Nice method,good luck.
Those lush opening chords are what got me into Bill Evans. I also discovered Jaco Pastorius in a similar way. His bass playing in Bright Size Life was so distractingly good I had to investigate.
I’m not sure rapid procurement is as simple as government money in, doses out. Incentives must align.

This doesn't really relate to myths of vaccine manufacturing.
Well I wonder if the alternative to cookies, the QUIC HTTP/3 Connection Migration IDs, are an end run around ad blockers, MAC spoofing, and other forms of anti-tracking measures. No way Google is going to make it harder to track people if they’re proposing a change and my understanding is that these IDs survive network switching, sessions, etc.

Right. Now try to use that top right "user" icon on your chrome window to log in as a user that is not from a google account.
Very interesting. Thanks for sharing.

Am surprised there are no comment on an interesting topic like this.
> the Mueller report clearly indicated that there was no provable collusion or coordination between the Russian government and the Trump campaign

Except that it didn't, really.

For this sort of benchmarking you don’t want to know what it should find, that would be a functional test and not a benchmark.
