That's the mystery this paper points to

I'm still honestly confused here. Yes, the success of neural networks generally shows they more than memorize. Some of the experiments here show they can just memorize too. I guess some describe something in-between.

But all this seems obvious. Is there something that's being quantified here?
It also harms parents that only have a small amount of time to help their child with homework by pulling the rug out from under them. The parent's own knowlage is no longer of any use.

I have enough time to get the nuance of common core and help my child but plenty of others don't have that luxury of time.

The investment prior to any payoff is significant. Few countries, or even groups of countries, have had the excess capital and idealistic interest to solve the problem.

Raegan gutted virtually every US program and refunding has only come back to things that are politically relevant. “That giant science machine that might one day make lots of heat” isn’t high on the “political value” list.

char being signed used to be commonplace. But it is allowed by the C Standard, and it's best not to assume one way or the other.
There's nothing stopping you from doing this with a server on localhost. You just need to think a bit about security (and be extra careful if you're running a websocket server since they don't do origin checks by default).
No suggestions, unfortunately. The lack of a comprehensive UI component library a la PrimeReact/NG/Vue really is a showstopper.
Doesn't have to be free. But component providers do not seem to care about Svelte.
Are they truly as fungible as the parent comment suggests? If they are indeed "thinly veiled employees / contractors of Reddit" that would imply some not immediately replaceable value in their work, stemming from informal training, donation of time, tolerance for redditors, etc.

If so, indeed they may strike and indeed they may be in the right demanding some part of an IPO's value.
For real. I have bought dozens of little templates like this, because $30 is about 15-30 minutes of my hourly cost. Scraping it would take at least a good 2 hours.
Buying a competitor is always a dubious move towards monopoly. If the ideal free market is supposed to have all sorts of advantages, then anything which reduces the ideal-ness of the actual market must be viewed as negative.
Conservatives (Tories) revering Hitler. Is that a politically-touchy issue, a Godwin's law-ism, or an exception to each?

Btw, I don't know the workings of 1930's and 1940's British society, but were these the type of people who condoned turning away the Jews of the SS Exodus?

Edit: To be fair, the US turned away the MS St. Louis, of which 1/3 of the passengers were subsequently killed.
> Essentially, an Alcubierre drive would expend a tremendous amount of energy—likely more than what’s available within the universe—to contract and twist space-time in front of it and create a bubble.

What does this actually mean? We’d have two giant Tesla coils buzzing with a universe worth of electricity? Giant magnets? Super space lasers?
I'm still not seeing how an abysmal graduation rate is a sign that they give degrees out to anyone.
Yeah but Qt does it well enough that I consider it de facto native. It's not like Swing Java where they totally went their own way with the widgets.

This is very inconvenient because you have to install a new a GPU and then plug in antother monitor into th at new GPU.

VR works nearly perfect for me. The main drawbacks is a broken video player in VRChat, no voice recognition in games that use Window's speech API, some anticheats not working, and that NVIDIA still hasn't added driver support needed for async reprojection. One final thing is that audio devices sometimes needed to be configured to the right device the first time you run some games, but from what I've heard from Windows users they have their own share of wrong speaker or microphone problems.
Few people have the ability to write the check.

Musk is the only one that even comes to mind, and he’s on the record saying he won’t touch turbulence.

Part of the point of "native" is that each platform gets its own consistent look and feel and behavior for its own UI widgets. Back when I worked at Adobe, we had our own internal cross-platform UI framework for Illustrator/Photoshop and they were consistent across the supported platforms, but they didn't look like "native" controls, and that can end up being a pretty big headache (e.g. when accessibility and keyboard navigation don't just automatically work the way the native controls do, that's your problem to fix or punt). They also just generally look "different" and a lot of people consider that a bad thing.
> I've heard of horrifying schools in middle-of-nowhere towns that will never get his kind of attention.

The fact that practically all rural public schools are bad is what keeps us from living the remote-work dream of moving out to a quaint little town or cheap country house. If you're not rich enough for (good) private schools (bad private schools are more common than one might expect, though), and not daring enough to hope to luck into a good urban charter school, then you're basically stuck living in the 'burbs, even if you'd prefer either the city or the country/small-town to that.
Then Windows 10 apparently lacks a native GUI toolkit, because it's certainly not "designed for" just one.

A similar thing happened to Android.

In Germany it's pretty tightly regulated. Cold personal mail is not a thing you get, and for unnamed mail you just put a no ads sticker on your mailbox and repeat violators are strictly punished
Luckily, we have alternatives, so their pricing shenanigans can only push people so far. For example, Keycloak is some self-hosted open source software which is a drop-in replacement for any Oauth2/OpenID Connect service. It doesn't get you a nice applications panel like Okta does, but it's a workable alternative. Given what I spend on Okta, prices doubling would put me on the fence, and tripling would move me to an alternative.

I do use both - Okta for internal users, and Auth0 for customer accounts, and I'm bummed that the quick and easy (Auth0) is being subsumed by the stuffy enterprise company.

You have blamed Marxists and leftists for the topic at hand many times in this thread, and have likened what's happening to "Soviet" book banning and the USSR.

But the decision to stop selling this book was made by capitalists in a capitalist system. Marxists and leftists have nothing to do with this. You say "Once you ideologically commit to sacrificing individual freedom in pursuit of other goals (social justice, a socialist Utopia, etc) then totalitarian oppression becomes a distinct possibility", but this decision is due to individual freedom at its height. It's a perfect example of the exercise of individual freedom in the marketplace of ideas. Indeed, any other outcome would be a contraction of individual freedom.

Dr. Seuss Enterprises decided to stop publishing the book. That is, they exercised their individual freedom to stop publishing the book. No one made this decision for them except for themselves, particularly not the government. In fact, it's only due to their limited monopoly over the rights of this work that they are able to have this freedom. Marxists and leftists would disagree with the concept of "intellectual property" outright. Dr. Seuss Enterprises would not be able to stop the publication of these books under a Marxist system because they would not have the right to make that decision; anyone could decide to publish them if Dr. Seuss Enterprises didn't want to. It sounds like maybe you are taking the Marxist position on this one.

eBay decided to stop selling the books. It is their right as a corporation to decide what they want and what they don't want on their platform. This decision was made by the capitalists who own and control the eBay corporation. The alternative would be the government forcing them to sell the books on their platform. How would that in pursuit of individual freedom? Marxists and leftists would say that the workers at eBay should make this decision, for they are the ones who should own and control eBay. But I fail to see how capitalists deciding what they should do with their platform, under a capitalist system, is somehow a reflection of Marxist ideology gone haywire.

If anything your problem is with capitalism.
Proton just needs to add support for actually running EAC as opposed to working around it.
JEMM was used by Origin in pretty much all the games of that era, including Strike Commander, Privateer and WC Armada.

However, as it goes with anything game related, there wasn't a single version of JEMM (just like there wasn't a single version of e.g. Sierra's SCI runtime), so they all had different features and quirks. I believe they mostly shared the same VCPI interface though, as MyJEMM[1] was reported to work with most of those games despite being developed specifically for Privateer.

Sherlock Holmes' famous memory trick works
Andrew Huang recently made a YouTube video [0] that provides some insight from the perspective of a music producer and someone who recently created a music production app. It's not overly technical, but it highlights some of the challenges one might face.

As the article says, there is room for improvement, so I guess it's good to see that the long term goal is 10ms round trip.

The Programming Edition: On learning, mathematica, and being a novice
Part of the problem is that all of us who have Reddit nostalgia are also 15 years older, largely set in our careers, and oftentimes have families and other demands on our attention.

Reddit was founded at a specific moment in history, and a lot of what made it special was what was going on in that moment of history. It was right when the web became useful and mainstream and it became possible for a few guys to put together a website and change the world. A lot of the excitement of that time period was around "What else is about to change in the near future that we could take advantage of?" The early Reddit userbase was often 20-somethings and a few late teens, right around the age range when peoples' futures are most fluid and eager to jump on the next thing.

There are a bunch of similar exciting developments happening right now, with similar exciting communities. DeFi, drones, self-driving cars, robotics, EVs, a lot of climate tech. Curiously, most of them get dismissed when they're posted on Hacker News, much like how most 40-somethings dismissed Web 2.0 when it happened. Maybe it's more a function of the age than the community or tech.
A legendary gaming experience. Not just the cinematics, but the story and gameplay were as good as it got in that era.

It doesn't get too much attention in this story, but it sounds like this was a rare occurrence where EA actually improved a beloved gaming franchise! As opposed to burying it in a shallow grave and urinating on its still-warm corpse, as is their tactic with most franchise acquisitions in recent years.
They don't actually cost that much. The corruption and grift costs that much, but the tents are much less expensive.
the way you run it is... run a retail copy of WC.EXE with the branch of dosbox3d
then do
wcnet startserver <port>
on one machine and
wcnet connect <ip addr> <port>
then both machines just run wing commander as normal.
and the first one can start the first mission and the other connects in and gets to play as spirit. You can play through the whole campaign this way
How we value things and our priorities as a nation are impacted.

Frankly, there is no need for conspiracy implications. Deliberate policy steps were taken down this road to where we are now.

The simple truth is the outcome does not match needs, many legitimate expectations.

We can also take a no blame, no shame path to a better overall scenario and should.

Is there something in NACI's analysis that you disagree with specifically?

Their argument seems to be that we have 2 months of evidence that hospitalizations & negative effects are strongly reduced even by single doses, and we can reduce world-wide virus numbers by getting more 2x single dose resistances rather than single person double doses.

In this view, the risk of resistant strains would actually be less with 2 people at ~85% resistance, than one person with 95%. This is because if everyone had 85% resistance the virus reproduction rate would be <1, and it would completely die out, so wouldn't have an opportunity to evolve stronger strains - which it currently does have due to being prevalent all over the world.
We are adding support to call WebAssembly and GraalVM supported libraries.
Would combining two people's double doses all into one person, raising their resistance even more while leaving three people uncovered be beneficial in not setting up situations that would select for vaccine-immune strains? This is implied by your argument in favor of maximizing concentrated immunity rather than maximizing total population immunity.

i.e. if you think 1x0%, 1x95% is better than 2x85%, do you not also think that 3x0%, 1x99% is better?
The Best Depiction of Coronavirus Is a Work of Art
In my team we took some agile practice and threw out some others.

We do:

- sprints

- retrospectives

- healthchecks (from Spotify squads)

- story points, and kinda compute our velocity. Well, we approximately know how many points we can do in a sprint

- say no. We routinely refuse to do stuff coming from the top of it doesn't align with our vision as engineers

We stopped:

- daily stand-ups. They're completely useless

- poker planning. We still evaluate tasks together but without the useless ceremonial, and autonomously reevaluate during the sprint if necessary. It's considered bad, we don't care, it works.

None of your other sources support the claim you make, as I thought I had made clear.
I believe that society remains biased against black people and as such, if we have limited resources to help people escape poverty then they should disproportionately be used to support poor black people.

To me, ultimate goal is a society that is not biased for or against any racial group. Currently society is biased against some racial groups, so to redress the balance I believe that we should give more support to those that society is biased against.

Maybe it's a silly metaphor, but imagine a seesaw. Currently more weight is on the left than the right, so it's unbalanced. I'd like it to be equally balanced so at the moment, I think the best thing to do it place more weight on the right.

They aren't accused of talking their book. They're accused of fraudulent statements.

Warren Buffet saying that he's confident in Coca Cola's business model while holding a stake in Coca Cola is fine.

Warren Buffer saying he's going to buy a lot of Coca Cola stock because he loves it (driving the price up) but then secretly unloading his Coca Cola position amid the resulting price bump would be a fraudulent pump and dump scheme.

Let's be clear here: The accused perpetrators were using their platforms to endorse coins for the purpose of selling those coins to unsuspecting victims.
Makita puts the protection/charge control circuitry in the battery pack, instead of in the tool or the charger. That makes their batteries more expensive, but you can't kill them by running them dry or through overheating in use. The pack itself will cut power to the tool. Makes them much more robust than the other common consumer/prosumer brands (not sure about pro brands like Hilti and Fein).

First Study of Moderna's Variant-Targeted Vaccine May Start Next Week
Interesting! Are you able to share what you came up with? It seems like at minimum you could verify that the sentiment analysis for your generated text matches that of the input prompt.

I've been working on getting GPT2 to write poetry and I've made a fair amount of progress by fine-tuning on a poetic corpus. Then during generation I constrain tokens that would break the style of the previously generated text. It has already produced a few samples that are surprisingly moving. Here's one of my favorite cherry-picked samples which was generated with a prompt of "The sea grew":

"The sea grew angry, and turned to fire,

And all the stars did mourn for earth and sky.

The wind did moan, as when one who hath lost

Love through some evil counsellor, hears

A lamentable voice that sobs and sighs;

Or when some old sorrow's semblance doth appear"

It makes me think of someone describing the meteor strike that killed off the dinosaurs.

To achieve this, I simply perform analysis on the tokens as they are generated, then turn off the logits for tokens that would break the current flow. I'm currently working on enforcing meter and rhyme using a similar approach. I've also had success with creating checkpoints by pickling the model state at a good stopping point, like at the end of a line, then letting the model do its thing and reverting back to the checkpoint if it produces something that doesn't match what I'm looking for.

I do use Spacemacs. Do you have an advice about how to install sql-indent there? I'll find it one way or another, just wondering if you have experience. I think I can do the rest quite fine (already mastered setting those vars in Spacemacs, thankfully).

As for Doom Emacs, I am mentally way too fatigued by learning new tools almost every day. :(

I hear that it can be kind of like Spacemacs but it requires quite a bit more manual management which I am not a fan of. Do you have any experience confirming or refuting this impression of mine.

Very thankful for the links, I'm currently going through them.
The main classifier they use is using logistic regression, so no. They do mention that a deep nn had similar performance, but even if you deep-dreamed it you wouldn't get images, you would get feature sets, since they first run the photos through a feature extraction model (i.e. the input to the nn is not raw pixels).

I know it's been discussed to death, but just wanted to say I was late to the Mandalorian and I completely agree with you— it felt very true to the Star Wars universe, while at the same time expanding it considerably and not relying on cheap recycling of past characters and plot arcs.

And all of this on the kind of technology platform which could easily have enabled the absolute worst of the Lucas instincts to thrive as far as overcomplicated plots and gee-whiz special effects. Somehow it managed to take us to a dozen different planets and yet stay firmly rooted in a story about parenthood— and that, between a faceless warrior and a voiceless puppet. Wild!

> He's not the victim, he's actually a failure

He's a kid. He made bad decisions. He needs support, role models and being gently but firmly held accountable for his decisions in a way that ramps up gradually. I don't see these things in this story.

The school informed his mom of his grades but - at least as reported here - didn't explain the eventual consequences to her. They did not impose the 'natural' consequences of not progressing in classes that she was expecting. There's a communication failure there, a weird policy, and a failure to escalate this case. He was not held accountable for his decisions regularly with gradually increasing stakes. There's also the bad reassuring incentive provided by publishing his peer ranking in a failing peer group.

The mom also apparently did not escalate these very bad grades and attendance into a major issue for her son. She didn't go down there and dig into it. And now she is avoiding any overall responsibility for the bad situation he is in. Perhaps she didn't learn personal accountability at school. Certainly she trusted the school too much.

Shit is messed up.

But we take schooling as a shared responsibility, and that's the only piece of this puzzle we have collective control over, so let's focus on how that can be improved. It's a long game. The kids of educated kids will almost always be educated. Blaming the mom is not productive. Calling the kid a failure is unhelpful.
I've been approaching this wrong, is that a profitable audience? It seems like a fairly easy funnel since almost everyone is susceptible.
