IIRC each individual agent is essentially built around a single strategy/playstyle, not to mention the agents relied heavily on mechanical advantages to win.

AlphaStar basically got to 'good enough' strategy, then won on control, which computers obviously have a massive advantage with.
I could maybe like a Windows phone if they try that again and it's completely different than last time.
It’s not to say there would be zero taxis and certainly not zero ambulances.
For San Francisco anyways (where this article is more focused), vaccine distribution is moving at a fast pace: an estimated 39% of the eligible population has received atleast one shot. (https://data.sfgov.org/stories/s/COVID-19-Vaccinations/a49y-... )
How does that in any way prove that housing is the most profitable thing to do with that land?

Starbucks in London is staffed with poor sods who travel for 2 hours from outside the city to take their shift for hardly above minimum wage.
I want a Linux phone.

I like open source too, but I'm not serious about it, I want to be able to fix things or file an issue on GitHub or whatever if necessary, but I don't have the energy to worry about proprietary blobs.

Having control of my phone and its configuration like I do my Linux desktop is what I want, but I'm slightly resigned to perhaps not getting it because of app support (I tried Anbox on my desktop, it was buggy and slow, with a fraction of the RAM I dread to imagine) - so I've been thinking about and occasionally working on a Terraform provider for Android instead. So far I'm using it to install all apps, no Play Store at all; I'd like to have it handle settings too.

So yes, it is Linux more than OSS that appeals to me here, because it's control more than openness that interests me in it. (I suppose some wouldn't see a distinction, and that's partly why it is more important to others.)
Given the option, I suppose I'd rather have my flesh eaten after I die than before. But I respect vultures, which subsist entirely on carrion and are highly specialized to do so. Bald eagles are just too lazy to hunt unless they're forced to.
One consideration is the percentage of people 65 and older is PA 18.7% whereas Utah it is 11.4%.
We provide multiple Docker images (https://github.com/orgs/tripl-ai/packages) that make the Spark deployment easy:

- arc-jupyter: allows you to develop on your local machine (and offline) or you can easily integrate it with a JupyterHub deployment on Kubernetes (https://zero-to-jupyterhub.readthedocs.io/en/stable/index.ht...). We have built JupyterHub on GCP Kubernetes (GKE) with full user-level auth via GCP IAM. If anyone is interested I can publish a secrets-removed version of our script.

- arc: is the execution only docker image (so is smaller than arc-jupyter). We have this orchestrated on Kubernetes too and now that Spark officially supports Kubernetes deployment it is actually really easy to create and destroy clusters on demand.
> Cheese is a legitimate strategy, though.

Of course it is. But do the same cheese to a top player over and over and it will rapidly become ineffective, usually within a game or two. Each AlphaStar agent can just be exploited endlessly.
Yeah okay, so I guess it's of zero interest to anybody who clicked on an article about the Latin neuter. Thanks for the feedback.
So... You suddenly realized the value you handed off, and are annoyed because you can't take them back? I mean, personally, I don't think IP rights (if we have to suffer them to exist) should be transferrable. It should either be utilized by the person who did the work, or w
waived into the public domain.
Nevertheless, you never had any guarantee FSF would always be run by people, or run how, you like. You knew this. You did it anyway. What is it they say today? "There are consequences."

You can't take it back. Once it's out there, it's out there. That was the point! Nor does it at all Change that Stallman has done absolutely nothing to deserve ousting, nor does his reinstatement detract from FSF or it's mission.

Looked into the rider; good for him; he's bringing it in, he should get a choice in where it goes. Also, makes me wonder why. Given Stallman's dedication, I have to wonder what the Foundation has been up to that's got him feeling like he's got to take care of himself first, but heck, maybe he just got tired of having to rely on the charity of others? I know in his position, (particularly nowadays) I'd not feel a great degree of trust in the face of my peers.

I'm just in awe of the fact he's even gone back, and throughout the entire thing kept advocating for FSF. That's commitment.

After thumbing through the Twitter thread, came across this gem:

>I worked at the FSF from 2015-2018 & was shop steward for a while. I recall having a months (MONTHS) long conversation with ED John Sullivan about why racist & sexist 'hacker humor' from the 90s needed to be removed from http://gnu.org. rms didn't get why it was harmful.

So... Someone had a subculture clash, and totally failed to attain enlightenment? Or to even appreciate the importance of maintaining a historical record to change and develop over time?

Seriously, this sounds like the kind of person who'd advocate having all old periodicals available in libraries re-written to the moral standards of today to protect the sensibilities of the youth.

The problem I have sympathizing with all of this is that if these same exact circumstances happened to any other member of the FSF, I'd be in the same uproar. You don't hang someone out to dry because people got hysterical because someone couldn't read, or because other people don't like that someone else is using their right to speak their mind.
That in Europe it's just "Monday". In my country, the legal age to consent is 16. And, a few years ago, it was... 13!!!
But... don't the ships have to get back to China somehow, if they are going to bring more cargo from China to north america? Why don't they take containers (even empty) when they do so, especially when they are so valuable.

If the ships aren't piling up in north america, how are the containers? Are ships leaving north america without picking up containers and if so why?
I want a phone with a map, slack for work, unfortunately), signal and a browser. I want it to not feed Google. That's it. Don't even care if it dials or texts. It just had to fit in my pocket. Linux is just a bonus because it already runs on everything else use daily.
Some of this has to do with the various dystopian regimes, war criminals, and other pshycopaths throughout the world sending hundreds of millions, if not billions, of dollars to all US universities or colleges of note.

There is an investigation ongoing that has Yale receiving $330+MM in unreported donations (illegal) from sanctioned countries and other comprising regimes. Tip of the ice berg.
Does anyone have a link to a demonstration of this? I'm not sure what keywords I should be searching.
The inductive step here is in the conjecture:

This algorithm is information-theoretic secure for a bitstring of length N

The grantparent's argument is to first convince yourself that
a) this is true for a bitstring of length 1, and
b) if it's true for a bitstring of length N, then it's also true for a bitstring of length N+1 (or alternately formulated: if it's true for bitstrings of length M and N, you can concat them and it will be true for a bitstring of length M+N)

The inductive step is then to apply this to show that because it's true for length 1, it's also true for length 2. And if it's true for length 2 then it's true for length 3. etc etc.
Maybe even intelligence analysts like cracking puzzles in their spare time. Takes a longer timeframe than a few months, but this mystery has been around for a long time already.

Like I said down thread, there's analysts who pursue the solving of the Kryptos sculpture. Why not this puzzle?

> [T]he CIA revealed that their analyst David Stein had solved the same passages in 1998 using pencil and paper techniques, although at the time of his solution the information was only disseminated within the intelligence community.[9] No public announcement was made until July 1999,[10][11] although in November 1998 it was revealed that "a CIA analyst working on his own time [had] solved the lion's share of it".[12]

I don't understand how air pollution isn't the absolute number 1 issue for the Chinese government, and I'm not just saying that rhetorically. Maybe the CCP is a corrupt authoritarian kleptocracy, but the elites have to breathe the same air as everyone else, right?

What I learned bootstrapping side projects in 2020
I see cancel culture as used by the political party who likely does not recognize banning abortion clinics by law through an entire state as cancellation. The stakes aren’t a matter of Twitter hates you. Your boss firing you doesn’t mean your doctor is banned from giving you an abortion.

Or when TX sought to enforce a ban on gay sex in 2003, I really doubt the GOP sees that as cancellation. It’s a kind of failure to see the forest, even while pretending to have such moral clarity. The stakes aren’t a matter of Reddit hates you.

When a Christian refuses to bake a cake, sign a marriage certificate, or when they fight for the right to fire gay people, etc., the activity is not cancellation but spiritual observation.

And does one not remember that during the Bush presidential candidacy a major get out to vote issue for Christian conservatives was a US constitutional ban on gay marriage? Of course this is not cancellation. It was a Constitutional exercise.

These are points of pride for the GOP. This is what it means to energize the base.

WhatsApp doesn't actually require Google Play Services, as everyone running LineageOS can tell you. Even if you don’t have Play Services and the Google Play Store, you can install Whatsapp from Aurora Store (off F-Droid) and then Whatsapp runs just fine on your vanilla Android.
Don't every other endpoints work as the oracle you describe? Are you worried about rate-limiting specifically?

Also, the endpoint sends a 204 with no information about the validity of tokens, making it not much of an oracle. I think the payload is processed in the background too, preventing timing attacks.
This looks great! It looks really well thought out and practical. Congrats on the release. Kudos and thanks for making it freely available as well. Cheers.

could you stop saying redux, in my other comment I said the solution could be anything from react's setState to old-style encapsulation.

The point is, it's kind of odd that someone'd put mutating states in their tutorial proudly as a "feature". It's a thing that you do very conservatively at best.
+1 but with the addition that the people thinking about fraud/abuse/security are typically an isolated department that the standard product developer doesn’t ever think about. For mature products/services, this is usually integrated, but for new products, they seem to first think in isolation and then consider the more pessimistic cases as a last minute check box item (assuming they’re part of a large, sophisticated company that has such a thing).

I’m not disagreeing with the premise that people should be more aware, just explaining how I’ve seen it happen. People excited about bringing a cool thing to market often don’t have an answer to the question, “but what if a bad actor decides to use it for nefarious purposes?”
I'd prefer if there was plethora of evidence.
Yeah no idea why you're getting down voted. Lo is gender neutral, and can be used with nouns of either gender. However it is primarily used in conjunction with adjectives, not so much nouns.
Even if a given EV uses electricity produced by as much fossil fuel as it would have taken to fuel an equivalent ICE car, it's a win because a fossil fuel burning electric plant on the grid is stationary. An ICE car moves.

With the ICE car, any equipment you add to try to capture emissions adds to the weight of the car, in turn making it burn more fuel, and you are also limited in the total weight that the car can have and still drive safely (or at all). You've also got space limitations.

With the stationary power plant, by picking a place with sufficient space there are no weight limits on how much emission capturing equipment you can add to the plant.

No, unless you want the App Store. Software Updates can be downloaded unauthenticated.

Voice Cloning and Video Games: How Game Developers Can Create Synthetic Voices
The primary driver for him stepping down seems to have been the controversy surrounding him defending someone engaged in sex with a minor provided by Epstein with arguments like “she likely presented herself as willing” and arguing that wether she was above or below the age of content made no difference.
Imagine you're a senior developer with over 10 years experience. You're happily employed and make good money. You're contacted by a recruiter for an interview. Perhaps the company even uses some software you wrote.

"Ok this problem is called fizzbuzz. We just need to see if you can really code."

It sounds like the situation was of course different, but situations like above have happened.
I wish I could just pay an extra $100 and unlock my iPhone such that I can do anything technically possible with it.

Take my money Apple, ugh. Linux phones are cool - I had a Nokia N900 and N800, but polish in general is more important to me these days.
Thanks. dbt is very cool and evolved at the same time but focuses on the Transform step of ETL only. Unfortunately, as data engineers, we still spend a lot of time consolidating the many input sources to perform that transformation and also want to load it to places.

You can see the work we have done to build standardised methods for Extract (https://arc.tripl.ai/extract/) and Load (https://arc.tripl.ai/load/) in the documentation.
Which are both Android ROMs/distributions. Still requiring Google Play Services to do any of the things I want Android for. And they definitely do not have the same kind of hackability that full on Linux phones have.

LineageOS is what I'm currently using on my daily driver, as a compromise. I would very much prefer a Linux phone, but in the current state it can't even fulfill half my needs in a smartphone.
Useless without restorative justice for incarcerated people with weed raps.
well noun gender does seem disconnected from the nature of the thing only in modern languages, IMO. because of how each word evolved. in antique languages, grammatical gender is closely tied to the word's morphology, especially to the word's ending in Latin. in essence there is not really gender in languages, just some group of nouns which behaves very grammatically similarly. they just happened to be suspiciously congruent to the genders in words indicating things which do have gender in those languages which were studied when linguists invented the term of grammatical gender.

"Key" in Italian and Spanish comes more or less directly from Latin 'clavis' (fem), I guess, they are being romance languages; in German however it may have a different root (aber https://www.dwds.de/wb/Schl%C3%BCssel#etymwb-1 says something about Latin origin too). Most likely its form was more similar to other masculine words when its gender stabilized.

The arbitrarity is among naturally gender-less things, as I observed. People, professions, animals have the "right" grammatical gender overwhelmingly. There was also a process in Romance languages. Neuter words tended to become masculine because many of them behaves more like masc than fem in most cases. thats why some woman body parts are grammatically masculine.
I don't know how representative I am, but I just want something that respects my privacy and doesn't try to monetize my every interaction, while being open enough that I can run what I want on it (apps, not OS). Android fails at the first and iOS fails at the second.

I like in principle that Android is open source (minus all the proprietary junk getting jammed into Play Services). I or someone could verify that it's not sending my data to a sketchy third party, but only to a point. Unless the OS and all apps are completely open source, any closed source component could be secretly betray me. Ironically, though, I trust Apple a lot more to write privacy-respecting code even though it's all proprietary. But on Android I do what I can to mitigate these issues, by running as much tracking- and ad-blocking software as I can (a thing that isn't really possible on iOS, at least not to the same extent). And I do have some apps sideloaded that I'd miss if I had an iPhone. But I still assume that Google is not being a good steward of any data it gleans from my Android usage, and that sucks.

I don't care too much about the ability to make modifications. The hurdle to jump to go from a stock to custom ROM is pretty high nowadays, as I expect most financial apps (and probably some others) to aggressively detect enabled root access and refuse to run. And the process of building your own OS images to make tweaks is not particularly fun, and can be a mess to clean up if you make a mistake. It's critical to me that my phone doesn't have downtime, so I'm less likely to mess around with it.

The problem with the current crop of "Linux phones" is that (while they do respect privacy, don't try to monetize every interaction, and are open enough to run what I want on them) they don't have anywhere near the polish of iOS or Android, and are (understandably) missing key applications that I use daily. So anything I use will have trade offs. For better or worse (probably worse) I've chosen the easier path of Android, at least for now.

Having said that, I do think I want to get a PinePhone, not to use as my primary mobile device, but as something to tinker around with. Maybe it's something that eventually could be a primary device, at least for some situations, but I don't see that as being the case without a lot of work, and a lot of customization that I have to do myself, which I don't really care to do all that much.
That was my first thought. What does a linux phone offer a user (feature/usage-wise!) that my jailbroken iphone didn't?

...back when I felt the need to jailbreak at least - now with altstore, ios improvements, or my own dev-ish - I am good.
As long as the API wrappers don't mess this up, this has no reason to happen.
... not to mention that seL4 was started in 2006, a full four years before Rust was even conceived of. The proof was finished a year before.
Even if they had backup power for those kinds of systems, the cold in Texas took down utility-grade generation capacity. It wouldn't be a surprise if they had their backups die, too.
Apple telling you they don't log IPs means nothing. Facebook did this and nobody batted an eye. [1]

It's also incredibly unlikely. I'm just trying to picture what this server that does no kind of user identification at all looks like. What value would it possibly offer? Just to count how many times an application is opened? How can any kind of analytic application function without some kind of user profiling mechanism and a place to store that data for analysis?

It sounds too good to be true, so it probably is.

Does it actually? People are just happy to spend $50k on a car but dont like paying for public transport.

If we channeled half that money into public transport, we would have amazing systems and could save the other half. Without cars, many roads in city centers could be reclaimed into public squares, or planted.
The GTK team is like 3 people. GTK4 worked on improved cross-platform support, effecient gpu rendering, documentation, sandbox integration, etc.

UI designers are probably limited and there is just a lot of drama about the filechooser so it's easy to find other things to work on.
"Still people want to create more distributions instead of actually implementing missing features in the existing distributions"

If people would document their stuff and would bother to give the slightest hint what should be done next for a newcommer to their project, people wouldn't have to restart everything from scratch.

Cool! I was not aware.
This is an extremely valid point. What happened to Pao was an absolute horrible stain in that community's history. The fact that their board succumbed to the mob was a huge let down. Folks don't realize this but from here on out, reddit will absolutely lock down and protect any public details of their admin team. It is now on its way to become as opaque as Facebook or Twitter's moderation. I hope redditors are content with this outcome.
At least personally, I want a phone that works similarly to my Linux machines. I have scripts that maintain a synchronized configuration across all of them, and I don't want my phone to be some snowflake that must be treated specially.

I want access to the same applications; I want to be able to run strace on random processes to understand what they're doing; I want to be able to organize my files under $HOME the same way I do in my other machines.

I want a Linux phone (ideally of a similar distro). It being open source is just part of that.

This is also the reason why I'm not really attracted to PineTime, despite it being open source.

If by polish you refer to aesthetic stuff like animations and whatnot, I don't really care about it.
The former Reddit employee in question accused the Green Party in the UK of transphobia, after they discovered she hired her own father as an election consultant, under an alias. At the time, he had been charged with rape and child abuse, and has since been convicted.

This is all public information.
You downplay the sexual harassment of handing out these 'pleasure cards'.

But ultimately, real women are upset by it. The unprofessional behavior discourages women from being in tech.

Just because you wouldn't mind receiving such a card, doesn't mean it's not harassment. I mean, do you understand (a) the nature of consent, and (b) professional workplace environments?
The last time I used it, it also disabled ETags by default. I lost many hours trying to figure out why those 10MB Kibana JS bundles are re-downloaded on every page load and only in my Firefox, checking about:config, etc... I know etags can be used for tracking and that Expires should be used instead but i did not expect CleanURLs to do anything more than just cleaning URLs...
The idea though is that having an MBA is meant to make you better at the BA bit.

It doesn't feel that way though because having an MBA doesn't guarantee a minimum floor of capability. There is no such thing as losing your MBA for making a dumb decision.
