Giacomo Cassanova had a bit on this:

“When asked by an English poet who was at the table to read the ancient couplet Discite grammatici cur mascula nomina cunnus/ Et cur femineum mentula nomen habet [Teach us, grammarians, why vagina (cunnus) is a masculine noun/ And why penis (mentula) is feminine], Giacomo answered it with a witty pentameter of his own invention: Disce quod a domino nomina servus habet [It is because the slave always takes the name of his master].”
Opus at sample rate of 48khz, still only encodes frequencies up to 20khz of listening range (think of opus as having 40khz sampling rate).

This is same as audio CDs, which although are in 44khz sampling rate, have a red book recommendation to always filter out anything over 20khz.

Thing is, most people can't hear well over 16khz. Some can hear 18khz. 20khz is peak possibility. To encode 20khz wave we need 40khz sampling rate. Everything else is marketing.

Testosterone levels are rising again from reported lows a few years ago, and you probably don't want them too high because men would leave their wives.

Perhaps I should have said it more carefully. One should care about the distribution of outcomes and their magnitudes along multiple axes of impact, plus potential mitigation options.

All this leads me to conclude that sometimes calling the police is the right thing to do, even if the likelihood of retaliation is low.

Teaching a foreigner one's native language is one of those situations where completely arbitrary conventions (including, by the way, how to segment and classify phonemes!) can misleadingly seem like "obvious" facts, and like the foreigner is just being weirdly obtuse by not having a built-in intuition for those arbitrary conventions.

> My understanding is this derives from the Latin neuter as well.

Does it? Spanish articles derive from Latin ille / illa / illud ["that", as contrasted with "this"]. The neuter (nominative) form is illud. It is not obvious how this would have resulted in the form lo. Wiktionary suggests ( https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/lo#Spanish ) that it derives from the masculine form illum, which makes much more phonological sense. (-m was already so weak in Latin that a syllable ending in -m completely disappeared when followed by a vowel.)
Most of the electrical power supplies I have these days accept voltages anywhere from 100-250VAC. Its just a matter of having the right prongs on the end for the target market.

> which party do I vote for if I want...

Congratulations, Citizen! You have discovered that you live in a democracy, and you hold a minority viewpoint. This is a feature of the system, not a bug. The benefit is: There are countless other minority viewpoints (some of which involve your immediate execution) that will also not be automatically scheduled for implementation.

The solution here is to start campaigning! Not for political office, you've got little chance of that - but rather to shift the public consciousness so that the entire body politic is more sympathetic to your viewpoint. Your political opponent is the Overton Window.

Good luck, Citizen.
But if you have a system where you can register the stick then why do you need the stick? Just register the contract with this, apparently trusted, 3rd party.
Polio.

The injectable vaccine prevents nervous system damage. The oral vaccine prevents transmission too.

The problem is that the oral vaccine is old technology and can revert to being dangerous. It’s rare but happens. So countries with resources gave everyone the IPV to protect them and then the OPV to eradicate the disease.

Tetanus is a partial example, too. The tetanus vaccine protects against the tetanus toxin but has no particular effect on whether you can have the bacteria replicate in your body. But tetanus isn’t transmissible, so this doesn’t matter much.
Sure, but you must have taken special care to ensure that the gobject introspection tools are run using qemu. Or maybe this does not use GIR at all because it is plain C (which I would not recommend for new apps, and neither does GNOME AIUI).

The guy she married posted a lot of rape fantasies of children on his Twitter. Someone connected all the dots and circled around that it’s possible based on actions of known associations.

Someone also mentioned that she lived in the same house at the time her father locked up and tortured the ten year old. If you’re oblivious to someone being tortured under you’re roof, you’re either really naive or part of the problem.

Right, but if the FBI goes and hires a code breaker, they don’t get one of the three who solved it. They get one of the thousands with the credentials to have a reasonable chance of success. So if the FBI wants to put the three who solved it on the job, they have to deploy the thousand who didn’t because they don’t know the difference between them until it’s solved.
Love this blog, love this article. The "has GC" thing and "is a VM" thing goes pretty quickly to "you used a REPL didn't you?"

To compile times.

A lot of code I use is ./configure. the autoconf/autogen thing looks to me to be doing shell wrapper around basic CPP/CC/AS/LD operations (well, actually the ${CC} called to do the phases mostly) and I think this gets me .o and related files with timestamps I can trust, but past experience was, it was inherently unsafe to modify a .h and then expect the dependency chain to be correct.

So. I got into the habit of destroying the intermediate products to be sure to be sure the dependency chains remade everything they needed.

I think this kind of thing blows out costs.

Also, there are the kind make scenarios where "make all" does stuff, but make install actually does MORE and I hate those. The delayed cost of making things "for real" is high, for the thing which I thought I had already done.

My own code had/has really tiny structure. I think if i had coded enough to need richness in library and modules I'd be more conscious of the maintenance side of this, and of the burden to make Makefiles which did the right thing, with dependencies.

I remember older compilers (OSF/1?) which demanded you make it, run it for 30 sec, then let the compiler use the runtime to decide which optimisations to re-apply making it for real.

There exist adblockers but as far as I’m aware they all work at a network level and not at a script level, which means that 1. They suck and 2. You can’t use a VPN and an adblocker at the same time.

That's not a modern problem and it's not something the developers did. If you have N apps and M themes, you have to test N × M combinations. This is an impossibly large number on any platform that allows users to make their own apps and themes.

It's a lot easier for everyone if the app developers decide they're only going to support a small number of approved themes, or if the theme developers decide they're only going to support a small number of approved apps.
Thousands of years ago in ancient China they used chopped segments of bamboo for authentication purposes as well. They would chop a bundle of stalks into two bundles, and one bundle would be held by a (regional) king and distributed to key checkpoints. Then they gave the other, matching, bundle to another kingdom with whom they wanted to communicate.

Later when a messenger wanted to bring a message past a guard station, the messenger would prove their authenticity by presenting a segment of bamboo, which could then be matched up with a corresponding segment held by the guard station.

Apparently this practice and specifically the splitting of the bamboo into two pieces for this purpose is mentioned in the ancient Chinese dictionary, the Shuowen (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shuowen_Jiezi).

You have to give both parties incentive to produce the original stick. So if they don’t match then you both lose.

1. Community support.

Svelte I think is the "more technically correct" approach, but React 16+ is good enough, concise enough, and it has thousands of community packages already. Svelte still needs way more buy-in for it to be a serious option at our company. We actually implemented a small part of our app in Svelte, but moved away from it because Svelte is still sort of a tinkerer's tool[0]. I really hope it gets more adoption, though. Until then, we're going to be using React 16+.

Tolerance and membership are distinct. I can tolerate those who believe in god without believing in god myself.

Acceptance of trans people, and subscription to their beliefs about sex/gender are distinct. There are lots of trans movements that operate on the assumption that they are not, hence refusal to believe in aspects of queer theory is the same as not tolerating trans people.

I personally think that while there should be some restriction on behaviour, and on what can be said; there should be no restriction on belief, or mandating what must be said. The idea that the latter are a natural or normal part of tolerance I find chilling.

As for your right wing straw man comment: I put it on you to prove those things are straw men, for there are certainly people who will call you a transphobe for disagreeing with any of them - those people are not right wing creations or fictions.

It worked in adversarial board games (Go, Chess) and poker. We now have unexploitable bots for these games.

It hasn't worked yet in Starcraft because the strategy space is so much larger and the action space is also much larger. The networks are too small relative to this space, and humans can still put the bot into a situation it can't handle.

I'm going to guess that Starcraft will end up like these other games once the hardware etc advances another 5-10 years, and we'll have an unexploitable bot. The main reason I'm thinking this is we have unlimited training data, unlike with self-driving. We can make the models arbitrarily good.

The bot still won't have an ounce of common sense beyond what it's trained to do. It's just that it will have been so exhaustively exposed to every nook of the search space that a human won't be able to find any exploits.

I'd say the answer is no. People use OpenAPI because it produces a good result and fits conveniently into a company's workflow.

The most important aspects of good API documentation are

1) correctness,

2) thoughtful and complete examples, and

3) a clear explanation of the data model and state transitions.

These can be accomplished with any tool.
Uhh, that may be what apple is reporting but most SSDs only last for about 100-200TB of write, so I would take that percentage used with a grain of salt. They are probably counting wear leveling percentage used.

On the low end assuming 200TBW that means you have used about 3.3% of the life of your SSD and on the high side you have used 6.75%. Lets say you got your M1 on release in November, that would mean you are using about 1.68%/month on the high end and .84%/month on the low end.

Assume it lasts 200TBW, which I don't think they will, you would be on track for a 8 year lifespan of the SSD. Otherwise 4 years on the low end, assuming the write amount stays the same (which won't likely happen), which would imply you are using the same or less swap.

Every year, I find that I use about 1-2gb more on average, so for me/my usage patterns I almost find the 16gb of memory in the MBPs to be a slap in the face. I have a 13'' and a 16'' MBP with 32/64gb respectively and I don't think I would find anything less acceptable. Right now, my typical memory usage is around 30-40gb when I run docker, vscode, chrome, slack, zoom, etc. I am not even running any VMs(other than the docker vm), I typically will spin those up elsewhere.

For reference, this is my 16'' daily MBP after nearly a year (4.84TB write) and I typically pull down lots of logs/data.

To deal with the issues they're talking about, you usually end up encumbering `svelte.each` with limitations such that it only looks like Javascript superficially.

In such a case, I think it's less confusing at the end of the day to just have a custom DSL for looping so that there's no clashing with its list of arbitrary limitations.
That was around the time when Apple has started to look at their SoC as a competitive advantage. Before then TSMC wasn't even a name Mainstream Media would report or use. But moving foundry takes a very long time and planning. You are talking about ~150M unit of leading edge node( excluding Intel ). TSMC also had to bet and build a new Fab just for Apple. And the rest is history.

Samsung talked about Firewall between Samsung Electronics and Foundry, but knowing the Korean culture and Samsung, that wouldn't be much of a good idea. I would even bet Foxconn CEO Terry Gou had a few word of advance to his friend Tim Cook.

> it "just" takes some years and heaping piles of money to replace them. though probably more if you're trying to replace them all at once, as there aren't a lot of folks who make the equipment to rebuild the fabs.

You can't buy an economy. You'll need a petrochemical industry for example for all the insulators and other substances that go into the making of chips and you'll need mines for precious metals or recycle them from scratch and of course an energy industry. Just those few examples are their own are giant economical pyramids on their own rights, and would be very hard to replace even if most relevant university graduates made it alive to this point.

I think Berkson's paradox is more specific than just correlations arising from non-random sample selection. Correlations that are not representative of the general population could still be useful, if it's a meaningful correlation within some subgroup of interest. The problem is when the features you are correlating relate too closely to the features that were used for sample selection - then you can end up with a trivial result.

I've always learned of Simpson's paradox as relating more to different sample sizes when partitioning data, which can happen entirely arbitrarily - for example a baseball player getting injured part way through the season.

The fact that one player's at bats get partitioned differently than another's is not caused by the on field performance, so there's no "double dipping" going on like I would imagine with Berkson's. Conversely I'm having trouble fitting a Berkson's example into the framework of Simpson's paradox, since there's no reason the poorly-selected subpopulation can't theoretically be exactly half of the general population. And if all of the samples are of equal size Simpson's paradox doesn't exist anymore (because with equal bin sizes the mean of means is equivalent to the overall mean).
