>traces that will be concentrated at the top of the food chain (which is us)

Also when trace analysis becomes more sensitive or focused as technology advances, alarms can be raised over things which were never detectable in the past.

These operators seem to have sophisticated instruments optimized for this type of pursuit.

I also use very capable gear, but mainly for leading industrial chemical analysis over the last 4 decades. No biology involved, but very many kinds of chemical companies.

And I've got news for them.

Very few pure reference materials are actually available even to the major manufacturers' chemical plant or research labs. What they would like to have made into "analytical standards" for absolute confirmation I would like too. Oh well. So I spend decades improving my abilities to make my own, if I don't do it who will?

That's one reason we even have mass spectrometers on the bench to begin with, to work around that little snafu. Regardless, it can take a while to get good enough for your results to be worth money.

For instance when MTBE was a thing, I was able to report to clients more details of what was in their purchase than the producing oil & chemical companies themselves were able to do, but not nearly as well the first year as it was after that.

Yup. People act like computer aided drug design is new, but it’s been happening since the 80’s with the same promises that never pan out. People are right to be skeptical.

That said, I could see computational drug design being helpful in particular circumstances solving very specific issues. But the idea it’s going to wholesale change the way drugs are designed and speed up the drug discovery process are very, very optimistic and the landscape is riddled with failed promises over the past 40 years.
> and the fact that they refuse to allow other browser engines on iOS is the reason why we can't have nice things like progressive web apps.

Is that against the App Store guidelines? Or is that a programming limitation? I am aware all the iOS browsers are just a wrapper around WKWebView but am curious why another engine can't be implemented.
This is primarily why I use Brave, particularly on phones. I've had some form of ublock and js whitelisting since 2002 or so and don't even recognize most sites without them.

I assume a lot of the potential "early adopters" for any new browser are privacy/security focused and as neat as it is conceptually that's going to be a steep climb for any new project.
I visited Flinders Island in South Australia on a cruise last month, and they are about to begin a massive campaign to airdrop literally tonnes of poison baits to kill the introduced rodents, then trap and kill the feral cats. All at great federal expense.

They think that mice were reintroduced accidentally by campers, when mice stowed away in camping gear. I was standing there thinking that they could very easily spend millions to eradicate the population only to have it reintroduced intentionally or in another accident six months later.

Nice work! Much better than just seeing plain numbers. And I couldn't agree more, our industry has become a bit obsessed with developer metrics and I've recently wrote about it here: https://towardsdatascience.com/why-story-points-are-a-horrib...
They also use their money to shout down competing approaches to problem solving. They were a big force in "high stakes testing" and "pay teachers who have higher performing students" backed by shoddy statistical analysis.

This is pretty tangential, but I don't understand why there isn't a roguelike framework available for Emacs. It seems like the perfect roguelike platform for playtesting and hacking on and would on-board a lot of new people into the Emacsen ecology without any real difficulty. The standard roguelike library libtocd has bindings for every other language--why not elisp?

1. That's great, I'm happy for you that you cook so quickly. Sometimes the pasta sits in the collandar for a little while depending on how many things are being cooked at once, and how they are arranged.

2. That's great, I'm happy for you that you've dialed in your cooking to make exactly the amount you need. I like to have leftovers for several days.

3. Not everyone is you.

Marsupial lions were believed to fill this gap in the food chain. Unfortunately, they died out 60,000 years ago. Now cats and foxes are hunting native species, some faster than is sustainable. Eventually an equilibrium will be found, where the wild cat and fox populations can’t be sustained due to over-hunting, but it will likely come at the cost of many native species disappearing.

Casual social interaction argumentative or otherwise is natural. I mean it's not like we're by nature solitary animals who sit in our rooms and ponder the mysteries of the universe for ten hours. That's just a nerdy hobby of a minority of people who write blogs like that.

Every day when I go to work (pre-covid anyway) I used to chat with the middle-aged lady living next door and we'd talk about the weather or the news or whatever, and there's nothing new about it but it's enjoyable. I've heard someone argue it's like a low-key reality check, sort of like people pinging each other checking if everything's still in tune.

Not too long ago we used to congregate in large communities and extended families for much of the day, and for the last few decades we've locked ourselves in cubicles and single family homes. My grandmother had 8 siblings and three generations living in one home, there was always something to talk about or get in a fight with. It's no wonder most people are yearning for a sort of casual background chat.

There should be a benchmark for filling a drive 100%, then doing 4K random writes. I'm pretty sure this would kill any MLC/TLC/QLC drive at a few billion writes or less. It wouldn't kill Optane, which would probably remain performant as well, and possibly some SLC drives.
Syllables and morphemes are not the same! In Chinese languages, all (or nearly all) morphemes are syllables, but not all syllables are morphemes. From Li and Thompson’s Mandarin Chinese: A Functional Reference Grammar:

> The relatedness between the meaning of a compound [i.e. bisyllabic word] and those of its components can vary from close to nonexistent … For example, qūzú ‘to chase’ is composed of two morphemes from Classical Chinese … neither of which exists any longer as a morpheme in modern Mandarin.

That is, in many cases, the syllables of disyllabic Mandarin words are no longer synchronically analysable as morphemes, though at one point in the past it was possible to analyse them in this way. In this particular case, neither the character for qū nor the character for zú represents a morpheme, at least when used in this context.
> More intelligent people can play host to far more sophisticated parasitic memes. Educated adults are less likely to believe that lizard people rule the world

There's evidence that highly educated people are _more_ likely to believe in the Qanon conspiracy.

Belief isn't just shorthand for "checking out the evidence and making claims about the world on the basis of the probability of that evidence." There can be a will to believe whatever supports your social or material interests that trumps reason. We are now living in post-epistemological times.

Interestingly, at the end of the article he brings up pro wrestling and remarks on not believing it anymore. But this kind of credulity is almost the opposite of what pro wrestling is all about - you have to buy in to take part (kayfabe). Everyone does, everyone knows it.

If it's just circuit design, the difference between an EE and a physicist is 6-9 credit hours of courses. You will both share all the necessary prerequisites in mathematics (mostly Fourier analysis, linear algebra, basic statistics, and differential equations) and electromagnetics.

> It sounds like they literally decompose the game screen into inputs (...) Or maybe not. Maybe they decode the game state into an "image" (...)

The GIF above "An example game state representation used to train the neural network" makes it seem like it's the latter.

Some of the variables have an unexpected representation. For example to represent "chimera health" with value H, it seems like they just use the 3 rows at the top, with the first H pixels "on" (green) and the remaining "off" (black). Same thing for "Chimera Power" and "Link Energy".

I guess this might make sense since they are using a CNN, but I wonder why that works better than using a different architecture and passing each of these values as a single input.
The title seems fine!

It had occurred to me that it might be a Markdown editing service. Maybe somebody tried it out with just the closest Markdown they happened to have on hand?

E-mail seemed like a good starting point before adding anything else, but it definitely won't work for everyone. The site was partly inspired by friends who got together after a long time when they eventually realized that they were both interested in each other. E-mail could have worked in a case like that, but other people might need phone numbers or something else.
Ethereum powers 95% of the work in the cryptocurrency space. If Ethereum has a fundamental flaw then it would be quite tragic for the entire industry and might cause years of chaos and set back crypto for a generation. Thankfully Ethereum is one of the most scrutinized and well tested systems ever made so the chances of that are extremely low and there's not any reason to worry.
It is not, but hypocrisy and double standards are things you can't go wrong pointing out when you see them.

Disagree with basically everything written here.

The neural net is a well-researched cnn variant - the activations are quite interpretable these days.

The metric’s interpretability is independent from the neural net used for gameplay, so the black box comment doesn’t make sense (unless I’m misunderstanding the comment...).

The metric is also very human friendly: think of it as 30% of players in the given position, at the given game’s stage and state, successfully continued on to a victory.

I'd be happy to compromise and keep the trucks if we put in protected (physically separated!) bike lanes everywhere.
I just built a 16core ryzen build with 2 of these, 1 for the system drive and one for VM storage.
How are they able to predict that the drive should last 5 years without having it running for 5 years? I mean how do they know the curve of degradation of components over such time?
(I have been using this drive for few months now - it is amazing - but WD seem to be new in the game and couple of years ago I had a WD drive die on me, so not so great memories)
I’ve found that when working on things like this it’s better to make the engineering samples half HALF the RAM instead of double - it encourages minimalism.
I've seen a whole high performance shadow network running behind NAT before, in order to get around the issue you describe.

It worked fairly well as the NAT router was presenting a WAN MAC address from a device that had already been "approved". Main reason was to get local 10Gbe available when the official LAN was still 100 Mbit (!!), and to enable new devices to be connected to the network without going through whatever official process was in place.

I'd never risk letting official IT people image a system - I've had to send people with laptops that were missing graphics drivers to "shadow IT support" to get their system properly installed by someone that knows how to clean install a system and install the necessary drivers.
the problem with author slow query is joining 7 tables (forcing SQL engine to compute cartesian of 7 tables), this is the primary source of slow down.

the faster query with UNION is joining 4 tables and unions with 5 tables, so the faster query is two orders of magnitude faster, because the SQL engine has to compute cartesian product on 5 instead of 7 tables
this is probably how I'd write it (assuming pg properly pushes the predicates down to the subquery in the lateral join)

select mi.*, x.employee_id, x.customer_id
from meal_items mi
join lateral (
select e.store_id, em.created, em.employee_id, customer_id = null
from employee_markouts em
join employees e on e.id = em.employee_id
where em.meal_item_id = mi.id
union all
select c.store_id, co.created, employee_id = null, co.customer_id
from customer_order_items coi
join customer_orders co on co.id = coi.customer_order_id
join customers c on c.id = co.customer_id
where coi.meal_item_id = mi.id) x
where x.store_id = 250 and x.created between '2021-02-03' and '2021-02-03'
order by mi.id

I would love to give Nyxt a try once there is bitwarden integration.

I am using Tridactyl on Firefox which has many of these keyboard navigation features. I tried using qutebrowser (a bit more like nyxt) but I stick with Firefox for the password manager integration and easy installation on all platforms. Also Ctrl+Tab on Firefox switching between most recently is what I want most of the time.

Most Tether is on Ethereum:

https://wallet.tether.to/transparency

Most Tether volume is also on Ethereum, as the article above notes:

>>Notably, the total value of tether transacted on Ethereum is still larger than Tron, signaling that primarily smaller transactors are migrating. Meanwhile, parties executing larger transactions who can presumably afford higher fees seem comfortable continuing to use Ethereum.

The big issue is that there's simply no space on Ethereum for smaller transactions. Hopefully some of this volume will migrate to Ethereum's zkRollups, namely Loopring and zkSync, which increase Ethereum's maximum throughput from 30 to 3,000 ERC20 token transfers per second.
There's a lot you can't do, or can only do too slowly to be useful.

This is why scientific and commercial mainframes still exist, and why a lot of computing is offloaded to cloud services, relegating the modern OS on a modern CPU to a client system.

There are also entirely classes of fairly conventional applications - A(G)I, true holographic displays, pseudo-real telepresence, real-time photo-realistic rendering (although that's starting to become possible), distributed non-localised filesystems, associative semantic storage of all kinds - that modern hardware is still too slow for.

And more speculative classes too.

In fact contemporary hardware is mostly quite slow and dumb. It's incredibly fast, small, and cheap compared to a mid-80s mainframe, but it's going to look very underpowered and crude fifty years from now.
It makes a lot more sense to ad block system wide than to expect every bit of software you use to implement extensions to allow you to do it. There are plenty of services like AdGuard and Lockdown, they can use the same lists that ublock uses, and you protect not just your browser but your email and everything else you use. Some routers will let you do something similar, and you can add a pihole to your network if your router won’t help.
Australia's birds never had a local predator like the cat. They just had to keep an eye on the sky for birds of prey and maybe snakes.

It seems that efficient hunters are quite rare to evolve, as there have been lots of ecosystems totally turned on their head with the arrival of a new predator. Stoats, foxes, house cats have all found niches in ecosystems unfilled for hundreds of thousands of years and wiped out many local species. Or maybe the problem is that they are too good, and if left to themselves they would decimate their prey to the point they can't sustain their own numbers and die out; in the long term predators need to exist in an equilibrium.

My experience as well r.e. the reviews. You'll get emails of people wanting an extended trial or wanting your app for free, or threatening to rate your app a 1 star review. When you contact Shopify about this problem -- they simply tell you to "work with the merchant."
Being almost 1 year into this, and having app that's now finally paying my bills, I'm feeling that I am just becoming another Shopify tech support person. My next venture/app will definitely be outside of this platform.

Also, Shopify's free themes are all terribly slow. Kinda ironic considering how hard they're pushing us recently with new storefront app performance requirements.

The catch is that pricing and availability for grey-market enterprise drives is wildly inconsistent, and you often don't get a manufacturer's warranty. Also, enterprise drives don't use SLC write caching, so their peak write performance is usually substantially lower than on a consumer SSD. And not that it matters much for a desktop, but enterprise drives also don't do idle power management, so they stay pretty warm even when you're not using them.
Slide rule for even faster processing.
