Breaking up with your partner is not pleasant. They may cry, throw things at you, threaten to hurt themselves etc.

Quitting a job is similar.
I think even outside Japan it can be awkward leaving a job if you feel in some way indebted to your company. Now imagine your boss shouting at you, or maybe worse, appealing to your obligations not to leave the company, convincing you how doing so would make you unworthy of being considered a decent person, or even threatening to give you bad references, etc.

Sometimes it's actually that the other party isn't even malicious and doesn't
have to be as ugly as described above. They may truly believe it's in your best interest not to abandon something.

Many people give in when faced with back pressure in those situations or at least struggle with going through such a stressful situation, i.e. many people know they may not be strong enough to go through with it when facing confrontation, so is it a surprise that a service that acts on your behalf is something people would use?

Now add to that that in Japan people generally try to avoid confrontation (esp. those likely to suffer at the workplace / school) and then imagine maybe being in a company that bullied you for years and you've seen others struggle with mustering up the courage to leave. Also, as far as I know, job hopping is still not seen as good. Many people still hope to stay at the first company they got into for a long time, with parents and partners hoping the same (and often pushing back against job changes).
That’s an excellent point. Our government has failed to handle this situation, and these systems should not be allowed on the road. I also avoid Tesla cars like the plague and do not trust what’s going on inside.
Can you send me a zip archive of all your chats? It would be fun for me to read and ok with you since you have nothing to hide. You can contact me here.

If you don’t send me your chats then I assume you want privacy after all.
You can't install your own microcode signing key. Only intel's is provided, and it's in unmodifiable mask ROM.
I see now. The signature itself would only require that the values passed in are not equal, not that the range doesn’t overlap.

If that indeed was his criticism, that’s easily fixable. The standard could simply add language that says “noalias” must be true for the whole range of the array. Maybe that would prevent other practical use cases.

I think his consistency argument is more powerful, if maybe less practical.

Bitsavers has the documentation for the PDP-11/40 I used to have here. http://www.bitsavers.org/pdf/dec/pdp11/1140/. It includes microcode listings both assembled and as flow charts. My PDP-11 had actually been modified before I got it with the microcode ROMs in ZIF sockets, as someone had been writing their own microcode.
Opinions may differ.

I for my part love the Wikipedia preview hovers!

I actually don't even understand what could be perceived bad about them. Are people really moving the mouse cursor randomly around the screen without having conscious control of their hand movements? (I understand that this could be true in case of some medical condition like Parkinson's disease but not a general issue at all). Don't want to sound offensive; honest question.
> The manipulation and the written form are fully independent.

No, they are related. The optimal written form for a base 10 manipulation system is a base 10 numeral written system.

> Before the introduction of Arabic numerals to Europe, this manipulation was already common; that's what an abacus was for.

And the abacus was base 10, wasn't it? So the natural (and optimal) way to write down that result is in a base 10 notation.

This Cistercian numerals are base 10000. Try doing a pen and paper multiplication or division using this system. No, seriously, try it. You'll understand why historically we settled on our decimal system. It's basically "divide and conquer" applied to mental math.

The good news is that 10000 has 10 as a factor, so base 10000 numerals come sort of natural to us, the learning curve isn't that high.
Their mobile app is fantastic as well.

The word "subsidy" is unclear to me... I'd understand it far better if you just said "We charge you an 11% fee for all finance arranged through us".

Kinda odd to have fees that big though... I thought the norm in the industry is to pay money the other direction, with the understanding that a good portion of customers will fall behind on finance payments and then have to pay sky high fees and interest rates for decades to come...
Telegram can and will remove content and users who violate its policies. Since the content is not end to end encrypted by default (except in one to one secret chats), Telegram has access to scan/listen/process the content. There is also a content moderation team that works on handling content removal, though it seems like it has mostly focused on terrorism in the past. The FAQ [1] has more details. So does the ToS.

What we do know is those who are obese have bad outcomes

That is such a blatant over simplification that it comes right up to the border of trolling, perhaps a bit over that border. It is incorrect on a level that practically defies any potential for a response due both to the impracticality of detailing here just how wrong it is, and the fact that a person who makes that sort of comment is unlikely to respond to anything argument that contradicts such a simplistic view of things.

I'll at least address your reference to ADE by pointing out there might be a theoretical possibility there, things have worked out just fine in other illnesses even when know it can be an issue in-- for example-- measles, and yet a vaccine still knocked that out of general circulation a while ago until falsified research helped spark the anti-vaxxer movement and it gradually crept back in to un-vaccinated pockets of the population. Further, ERD simply does not take 5-10 years to detect.

Congratulations on not being obese, and surviving Covid, but no one is debating the fact that most people don't die from it, so you've missed the mark significantly by using your own experience to justify your simplified view of the situation.
One time I was cooking pasta, to mix with some left over, home made meat sauce in the fridge.

After I started the pasta, I realised there was no enough sauce. So I added fresh crushed tomatoes, which had only enough time to warm up, and not really cook much with the existing sauce.

I discovered that tomato having two flavours in the sauce, lets both flavours complement each other.

It seems like there are many possibilities, with more and less cooked things together.
Haha, this is surreal to see. I attended the only Cistercian high-/middle-school in the US, which of all places is in Texas. How they ended up there was due to a series of happy (and many not-so-happy) accidents while fleeing Nazi/USSR occupation. Many of whom would come to be the original Hungario-Texan monks who fled in their teens/twenties (some of them students themselves at a Cistercian school in Hungary who had no intention of ever entering the priesthood) were my teachers, and some still are alive today.

I’m not particularly religious, but I always found their order’s history and personal stories fascinating, and a living example of adapting to the cards you’re dealt.
You know that a proper website is designed differently at different breakpoints right? What you see on a computer screen is not designed based on fingers taps.

Of course there are cases where it's taken too far. Not arguing that there isn't bad design out there. But again, negative space is good. It's proven better for comprehension and accessibility

>"But I want to track what users are doing!" - Well, then you have to show them a popup about that.

I think most website owners don't care about that, but they do care about earning money to actually run the website.

>The GDPR holds that data protection is a fundamental right.

The GDPR says that if the user asks to use your service then you have to offer them the service regardless whether they're willing to pay for it or not. You cannot not show content to users who refuse to share the data. Effectively, everyone else has to subsidize them.

And that's why you have a labyrinth of pop ups - GDPR breaks the normal monetization methods of the web. Suddenly they're surprised that this led to dark patterns.
It's doing both. It's stopping when it should be moving, and moving when it should be stopping.
Actually, there are many cons to e2e, especially with bigger groups.
I've read a lot about Signal's and Matrix's development and there are many problems that don't exist when sending data over a simple SSL connectiom to a server.

For example: You have a group with 100 Members, do you encrtpy each message you send 99 times for each recipient? Not likely.
So you use a send key that everyone else can decrypt.

But then what if the group changes?
Does everyone has to replace their send-keys, because the party that left can still decrypt all those messages otherwise.

That means you have to do n-1 key exchanges whenever a party leaves or joins. Otherwise it wouldn't be secure anymore.

There are some clever ideas about key exchanges, but so far the messengers that implement them are not widely used and since there is no profit in it, no one is in a hurry to compete.

Telegram still missing message reactions. Kind of surprising at this point with the speed at which they pump out features.
Unless I’m missing something we’re talking about a tab bar? The worst thing that can happen is that you switch to that tab. Switching tabs should never be destructive.
If you have 2 devices, one device can send messages to the other, all e2e encrypted. It's the same for group chats: if you are part of a chat, any participant can send you the history of the chat.

All those issues are protocol-related. E2E only stipulates that the message can't be read between the two ends, it doesn't say you can't send a technical message for making a better UX.

Chomsky had a saying about postmodernism in general: most of their ideas are either absurd or trivial. For example, take moral relativism: it's either a trivial observation - that different cultures have different notions of exactly what is moral or not; or it is an absurd idea, that morality means nothing and you are as justified to pick a flower as you are to rip another human's arms.
No, I think that would be a lazy and unjustified criticism. My remarks shouldn't be taken as criticism at all. In the same way that a calculus textbook has the student work carefully constructed math problems, HTDP has the student work carefully constructed program design problems, always at exactly the right level to stimulate growth. My point is more that the setting is as different from ordinary software development as a calculus class is from the work of electrical engineering. This isn't a bad thing; just as everything I learned in calculus class helps me in my work as an engineer, everything I would have taken away from HTDP had I been taught with it as an undergraduate, would help me now. Instead, having read through most of HTDP long after my school days, I've concluded that it's a very good, systematic treatment of a subject I learned in bits and pieces along the way.
The Complexity of a WW II P-47 Thunderbolt’s Powerplant (2015)
The feature set sounds like competing with Clubhouse in a sense while providing a lot more, but discoverability is quite low and the UX is not great. Telegram has started putting more features behind the scenes in the last year or so – one could start a secret chat from the chats list before, but now it's hidden in the person's profile under a "..." submenu. This voice chats 2.0 feature is also implemented in the same way on groups and channels. It could've been in the menu that comes up with the audio/video recording button or in the attachment menu for quicker access.

>Yuichi: In Japanese business culture, there is a situation where you have to visit a company and say I’m deeply sorry for what I did and just bow and bow. Occasionally, I dream about that.

>Morin: How does that work when you’re hired to do that in real life?

>Yuichi: Usually, I accompany a salaryman who made a mistake. I take the identity of the salaryman myself, then I apologize profusely for his mistake. Have you seen the way we say sorry? You go have to down on your hands and knees on the floor. Your hands have to tremble. So, my client is there standing off to the side—the one who actually made the mistake—and I’m prostrate on the floor writhing around, and the boss is there red-faced as he hurls down abuse from above. Sometimes, I wonder to myself, “Am I actually doing this?”

Safari does not use the Web Push or Notification API, Apple has a bespoke Safari Push Notifications[1] API on macOS, so this poor implementation is completely on Apple.

On Firefox, it just puts a little message window icon in your address bar if you didn't trigger the Notifications API permission via a control on the website. When you do trigger the permissions through user interaction, and unobstructive widget shows up[2] that can be promptly hidden without ever actually interacting with it, unlike in your Safari example.

Support peaked at 1/3rd of GDP. At the time, there were a lot of critics (domestic and foreign) of how expensive Kohl's vision of rebuilding the East was.

I'm not saying: the East has caught up, it was handled perfectly, there aren't still problems, there aren't ugly political problems.

I am saying you have a very weirdly biased view of what happened, and maybe should consider not single-sourcing your history to tee vee shows, or at least recognize the limits of doing so.
Fascinating. It has a formal tone of writing as you'd expect, but it's not too wordy. Wordiness is what you expect of printed goverment publications (even today). The principles are still sound. Naturally, it covers printed forms only.

re: "I rate lowly on empathy scoring tests on the Internet"

I think the key is to ask questions from a caring perspective. Don't disguise advice as a question, but focus on helping the other person get clarity on their situation. It's symptom elicitation and constraint identification. Don't diagnose and don't prescribe, just help them get clarity.

I'm absolutely convinced that censorship takes one of two forms:

1. Cut out things, overstepping and taking some of the best that humanity has to offer.
2. Avoid cutting out things, leaving many people offended for a wide variety of possible reasons.

The reason I believe Lolita is being questioned is because the pendulum has swung too far toward Type 1. The entire idea of a free society, though, is predicated on lots more Type 2.

Thus, I believe Western society is unsustainable as it stands. We'll either see much more censorship in the coming years, or a company/government will face such a huge public backlash on their censoring that the trend reverses course.

Our strategy for hanging out with friends is that both parents go, one takes care of the kids, the other talks to friends; then we switch.
One really cool aspect of this:

For the actual game state representation that the model would receive as input, we found that passing an "image" encoding to the CNN resulted in the best performance, beating all benchmark procedural agents and other types of networks (e.g. fully connected).

It sounds like they literally decompose the game screen into inputs. E.g. in FPS games, your health is often displayed in the exact same spot; it passes a screenshot of that into the network.

Or maybe not. Maybe they decode the game state into an "image" in the sense that health is represented as a single pixel that ranges from RGB 0,0,0 to RGB 255,255,255. That would make more sense, but it's also slightly less exciting. Theoretically the model should be able to infer what health means simply by having enough experience, even if it's a more complex representation like Arabic numerals rather than a handcrafted input.

Anyone know if there are any other details, like model weights (ha ha, not likely), an architecture diagram, a paper, or some code snippet from some prototype that the researchers used for inspiration? The "image" representation is really quite interesting to me, since I hadn't thought about feeding data to networks that way. Theoretically a GAN could learn a thing or two about the world from having this sort of "image" input too.

Cool to see this. I and surely many others in game development independently thought of doing this 5+ years ago. Fascinating to think that no matter how much software the world writes, we will keep finding entirely new ways to add value by writing even that much more code.
The USA, the second highest bracket for federal (greater than $160,000) is 32%, then you have the 15.3% self-employment tax (social security + medicare), that alone is 47.3%. The minimum state income tax in most states will push you over 50%, but at $160,000 in California, that would be an additional 9.3%, so 56.3% total. Of course, we're ignoring credits but I assume $160,000 for a contractor in SF is pretty regular.
