"I don't want notifications" is just a setting in a modern browser. And voila, it's as if notifications did not exist as a feature. I don't understand why you need the feature to not exist; do you feel tempted to leave them enabled if they can be enabled?

I don't like notifications. I never get any notifications requests, unless I'm in a private window trying because some site wouldn't work with adblockers etc. Life can be so simple.

> Your opinion isn’t held by other people, some of whom disagree with your opinion and are expressing that.

The other opinion seems "notifications cannot be disabled, therefore notifications are bad".

If you don't want to see notification requests, you never will. Granted: you need to be able to change settings, in a very restricted environment or with a custom clone of some browser you might not be able to.

For most users, that's not a problem. I'm one of them. I don't see notification requests on my desktop or phone. Neither do I see requests for geo-location, even though the browser is fundamentally capable of providing my geo-location to websites through an API; I've disabled it.

It's also interesting how history has taken us to the point that an anthropologist names a numeral system invented in India and brought to Europe via Africa "Western", because readers will understand that name, and uses that name in contrast to a system that was invented in the actual West.

Also, not enough is made of the fact that the numeral system was based upon United States decimal coinage. Viewed in terms of 1 cent, 5 cent, and 10 cent coins, with the added notion of a barred gate for 1 to 5 (as explained), the numerals actually make a lot of sense; especially if one considers them as erosions into arcs and squiggles caused by rapidly drawing the original full circles and bars.

* 1 to 5 are the five-barred gate with the downward bars mostly elided or reduced to squiggles for speed and the pen not removed from the paper in between bars.

* 6 to 10 are a 5 cent piece reduced to an arc plus one to five 1 cent pieces as bars, again mostly elided.

* 11 to 15 are a 10 cent piece still mostly a circle plus one to five 1 cent pieces.

* The 30 to 90 symbols are the superscript notation described in Lowery's biography, but prefixed instead of suffixed. 50, for example, is a prefixed 5, as reduced to a squiggle, before a 10 cent piece.

The text states that numerals above 20 had the numerals from 1 to 9 appended. By implication, therefore: 16 to 25 are a 10 cent piece, plus a 5 cent piece, plus one or two barred gates of 1 cent pieces; and 26 to 29 are a 10 cent piece, plus two 5 cent pieces, plus some 1 cent pieces.

It would appear that Sequoyah didn't encounter 25 cent pieces often enough to warrant retaining them in the system as it evolved.

This is good, I think research in this direction will yield the next breakthrough in ML.
The current hierarchical feed-forward model of neural networks is what's limiting our advances. If you look at ResNet or DenseNet, their skip-connections are hacks to bypass that limitation and it brings great improvements. And if you look at the rooting by agreement technique for capsule networks, it's clear that getting biases from later layers to earlier layers improves things as well.
And even in our own virtual cortex, it's only up to V1 that things are remotely hierarchical, after that it's a mess of looping wiring between areas.
We need to throw away the current neural network and adopt a new paradigm that can express both feed-forward and feed-backward connections innately.

> No, it's about a debt to obtained fairly but used to pay for something being fraudulently offered by a third party.

There's a very big difference between using credit to obtain cash to spend as payment for goods and services, and using the credit itself to pay for goods and services. If you took on a cash advance and then used that to buy a misrepresented vacuum, you're still on the hook for the cash advance. Student loans are not a cash advance, they're an agreement to undertake a debt in exchange for a specific education. If that education was fraudulently misrepresented, the debt was simply not obtained fairly, it was obtained through fraud.

> Unless the charge was fraudulent, yes, they will.

The vacuum cleaner being fraudulently misrepresented makes the charge fraudulent. It was authorized under false pretenses.

>not a general principle that debt to one party resulting from fraud by a third party is invalid

Chase is not third-party to your credit card transactions. They're directly involved and have contracts with the merchant's processing bank governing the relationship. Every credit card transaction is an agreement of the form "I get the stuff, the merchant gets paid according to their agreement with their processing bank, and I agree to owe the credit card company some money". If the vacuum cleaner is misrepresented to you, that entire agreement is invalid due to fraud, including the obligation to pay the credit card company.

The legislation enacted over chargebacks were created so that A) this class of dispute could be cheaply adjudicated by the companies involved rather than messily and with great expense via the court system, and B) to provide a streamlined way to ensure that merchants pay all the costs involved with the process.

They had tried to push through the same thing a few years earlier but it earned the name "Internet kill switch."

Net Neutrality is just the same thing with better PR. Government enforcement of net neutrality inherently includes an internet kill switch.

The NYT article I linked to actually has two pages. The second page goes into more details on cost. Here's a direct link to both pages of the article: https://archive.md/Fwyo0

Here's the relevant quote:

> The Pennsylvania researchers said they were surprised to find any big drug company interested in their work, because a new batch of T-cells must be created for each patient — a far cry from the familiar commercial strategy of developing products like Viagra or cholesterol medicines, in which millions of people take the same drug.

> But Mr. Hoppenot said Novartis was taking a different path with cancer drugs, looking for treatments that would have a big, unmistakable impact on a small number of patients. Such home-run drugs can be approved more quickly and efficiently, he said, with smaller studies than are needed for drugs with less obvious benefits.

> “The economic model is totally acceptable,” Mr. Hoppenot said.

> But such drugs tend to be extremely expensive. A prime example is the Novartis drug Gleevec, which won rapid approval in 2001 for use against certain types of leukemia and gastrointestinal tumors. It can cost more than $5,000 a month, depending on the dosage.

> Dr. June said that producing engineered T-cells costs about $20,000 per patient — far less than the cost of a bone-marrow transplant. Scaling up the procedure should make it even less expensive, he said, but he added, “Our costs do not include any profit margin, facility depreciation costs or other clinical care costs, and other research costs.”

Pls what is starlink
Iceland's ongoing earthquakes and volcanic eruption visualized
Quake’s perspective correct texture mapping used the pentium’s floating point math for every 16th pixel.

Most games at the time did perspective correct flat floors and walls, which can be done mostly with affine texture mapping. Sloped floors, which Quake had a lot of, must be done with more accurate Perspective correct texture mapping.

Perspective correct texture mapping technically requires a distance division at every pixel. Since it was too slow to do this at every pixel while rasterizing, Quake did the distance division at every 16th pixel, and used affine texture mapping between (linear interpolation).

On the Pentium you had fast floating point division which could run in parallel with the cpu doing the integer math. So they actually utilized both the floating point unit (for distance division) and integer unit (for affine texturing) concurrently, and in that way got rendering of each pixel down to <10 cycles.

Unfortunately, the 486s floating point math was not fast enough. So this trick makes everything worse on the 486, which is one of the reasons Quake didn’t run well on the 486 — the texture mapper was optimized for the fpu on the Pentium.

Mike Abrash wrote about this in his series of articles about Quake development which I highly recommend! I remember reading them during development of Quake in 1995-96 and implementing a lot of it myself (Bsp trees, shadow maps, texture mapping, sorted edge rasterize).

I actually implemented perspective correct texture mapping with integer division myself, and it was a bit slower on the Pentium, but a lot faster on the 486.

Funny, how just a few years later all of this became obsolete when GPUs arrived.

The same people who foot the bill for road maintenance now?

Obviously it's not the same in every city in the world, but roads are pretty decently maintained where I live. And it's not like we're talking about high tech stuff, like other people said, it's just painting distinctive patterns on things to give sensors more information than they otherwise would have. We already paint distinctive markings for humans, it's not much of a big step further. Probably just some QR-code-looking stuff sprinkled on signs, lane markings and the front/back of other cars etc.

Honestly to me the hard bit seems to be getting everyone together and deciding on the standards, especially with how technophobic some cities/countries governments are. Painting a few markings once every few years to keep them fresh is a piece of cake.
