> The salaries breakdowns I have seen did not worked like this at all. Esoteric languages paid less.

That's because salary is only one part of the cost. You are looking as if it was the only cost, which is not true.

Finding people for the project costs. Finding people with exotic abilities costs a lot and takes a lot of time which may complicate your plans or require you to have extra staff just in case somebody leaves.

It may pay less because in some specific niches people will work for less just to be able to do what they like to do. If I had ability to join a serious Common Lisp project I might do the same.
This is the original plot of The Matrix
Related to that there are many different copy protection schemes and other formats for writing the data that don't result in circular tracks. Lots of old computers addressed the drive at such a low level that it was possible to directly control the head between tracks, and control the rotational speed of the disk.

For example there's this project that reads stranger formats http://cowlark.com/fluxengine/

Who is we? Some people prefer to work at different times. Maybe they like having sunlight in their free time instead of their work time.
> Who is "the kind of person who carries a notebook"?

I took it to mean “I decided to keep track of my random thoughts and things not to forget rather than be one of those people with scraps of paper and who loses track of things.”

In that read, “notebook” is synecdoche
QEMU already supports x86_64 on Apple silicon. It was just slow last time I checked not sure of the performance now.
A Case Against (Most) Context Switches [pdf]
There are other more realistic examples like the Nakamura game sacrificing 2 useless rooks to give the engine a false sense of winning. Then the engine sacrifices a valuable pawn to avoid a 50 move draw. Turn out the pawn was much more valuable than the 2 rooks in the particular closed position and Nakamura goes on to win. Basically, the only way to beat an engine is to try to create an unusual situation that the AI hasn’t practiced before.

But as others other out, AI suffers when it doesn’t have enough experience in a particular situation. So, the author is really just pointing out the extreme edge cases AI hasn’t mastered yet. But over time and getting these examples into the training process there’s no reason to believe that the AI couldn’t learn these situations as well.
We've warned you before not to post nationalistic flamebait to HN. If you do it again we will ban you. (It doesn't matter which country is at issue.)

Same reason that this conflict always gets the same optics in international media — jewish lives are worth less. At first, as you don't want to believe it, you argue, you investigate, you really try to find any sane reason that while these things are happening on ground with you and your family, everybody else still sees a different picture, and then you just come to realisation that there's no other explanation for it.
The way the informant talks seems incredibly disingenuous and forced. I can't watch this with a serious face.
If the lab leak is real, then we should absolutely use this as a reason to stop Gain of Function research or at least establish institutions that ensure the safety of such research, preferably across international borders. The point being that you want to avoid something like this ever happening again.
> There are plenty of stories where this would be relevant. "Many refugees are landing in suburbs of Paris, one of the most densely populated..." "...rural Korean population is flocking to Seoul, one of the most..."

I mean, is it? The suburbs of Paris and Seoul are relatively unbounded in size, if nothing else. Gaza has a hard line on how many sqmi it is in a way very few other jurisdictions do. The density of Gaza is particularly relevant because the situation makes that density a problem in ways it isn't really for Paris or Seoul, as they are not being bombed, blockaded, or subject to limitations on when they even have power or water.
Some scientists in China have been questioning things too. Here is a list of them:

People have tried to pass TAS runs off as RTA before, and often it's really obvious (especially to someone experienced at speedrunning the game) because TAS runs don't at all look like a human playing them.
My Sony headphones came with "360 Reality Audio" and I honestly cannot tell the difference with it on/off. Always the same with audio and without hearing this I can already tell that I won't be able to tell the difference.
The temporal resolution isn't great, and you don't have much control over timing. Also 50cm is too coarse for much people-sized activity to be really identifying.

So; great for seeing how a property has been developed over time, not so great for seeing who is going the gym or not.
I hate them too. It's the worst to have to reproject an image or GeoJSON and overlay it onto a map. Very satisfying one you've managed to do it, but it's a pain nonetheless, at least if you don't work in the geospatial field and rarely use tools like GDAL.
I was using my Dad's old ThinkPad 385XD from 1998 in 2009. Battery was unsurprisingly dead but every other piece was stock and worked although at some point I swapped the worn down trackpoint nub with one of the included spares we still had.
I'm having deep trouble trying to appreciate this argument, apple has deep network effects it has build an ecosystem, a platform. If I want to use iOS I have to buy Apple hardware, if I want to offer a mobile app I have to go through the app store. Nowhere does Tesla exhibit similiar properties, instead it competes in the hyper-competitive, high capex and low margin car business. Trying to beat Toyota at scale manufacturing is a very tall order
I could imagine such a move making sense with the king on the backline such that promotion to queen would trigger a stalemate
These days a lot of it is satellite. Sub-meter commercial imagery from satellites became first avaiable some time in the 90s I think, and pretty cost effective in the last decade or so.
> I've seen it happen that a move wasn't considered as a top move by the engine, but once played the engine realizes it's actually crushing. Something about the heuristics used to prune the vast search space can make it miss sacrifices or seemingly sub-optimal moves that temporarily weakens the perceived position but has a huge payoff in the end. But humans find them.

Just to observe, humans display exactly the same phenomenon of ignoring a move before it's made while still being able to realize, after it's made, that it was very strong and ignoring it was a mistake.
Every EU company has been having these compliance problems since the Privacy Shield invalidation in last year's Schrems II judgement. It is only Facebook that had the lawyers (and the gall) to sue the Irish DPC to prevent them from enforcing this judgement. Other authorities have already started enforcing, for example a small Bavarian company got a slap on the wrist for having used MailChimp.

But yes, the EU regulatory environment is definitely making it more difficult to cheaply trial some business idea. GDPR isn't part of the problem. By unifying EU data protection law it has become easier to target the EU as a whole. My gripe is more with things like the upcoming copyright directive which is a de-facto link tax.
So maybe the wordsmiths in the media could select a more descriptive adjective than most dense.
I get the legacy aspect both in internals of the time and usage. But I'm curious how to upgrade the old way to support finer grained interactions.

The problem is: what is anyone going to do about it? China will never admit it, even if it is true (I have no position one way or the other).
Gaza actually has borders with two countries.
That sounds like the worst of the Internet in action. You disagree with someone's off-handed remark on social media, so you want to remove their funding source?

I guess that's pretty popular, but I have to say I don't care for it.

Many people are still in the bargaining stage of COVID response -- if we find that some person made this virus and released it into the wild, we just send them to prison and the problem goes away. That's a very human reaction to the problem, but unfortunately it doesn't actually work. We have to clean up this colossal mess regardless of whether it was man-made or not, and we have to reckon with the millions that died and will never come back.

Finding someone to blame is just a distraction, and I imagine that many people want to move past that distraction and eradicate the disease. The learning can come later when we're collectively more calm.

I doubt that anyone was funded to create SARS-CoV-2 and then try to suppress discussion about it on Twitter. I think the "unfollow me if you think it's man-made" is just a short-circuit to avoid flamewars and distraction. It probably isn't a belief against doing a blameless postmortem so that we can handle things like this better in the future.
There are many ways to short a stock, buying puts is one of them
Openstreetmaps works correctly.
Some small businesses don't require a full online store. I'm putting my wife as an example. I agree that $15/month savings is not a big deal, but overtime, it will be. I also noticed that most customers don't care about how the site looks, as long as it's functional and they can do their purchase.

$15/month savings can be spent in FB/Instagram ads or something that can drive more customers. In 3 months, you save $45 or $180/year.

I'm also planning allow users to add multiple stores. The site is hosted in DO and can scale up easily.
Does anybody know if advanced chess/centaur chess (chess play where a human uses a computer for assistance) is still a thing/whether a human+computer combo is a meaningful improvement these days (i.e. last couple of years) over just a computer.

I can't find any recent advanced chess tournaments and though I see quotes of people saying that the combo is stronger than a computer alone, I haven't found any recent examples of a top tier engine by itself losing to a human + engine (e.g. Stockfish + human vs Stockfish).
It's quite surprising that so far I've never read your first point, not once, in any article. Another point is that if some other actor was planning to release this virus in China, they'd definitely do it in Wuhan.

In the end, this discussion doesn't even matter. The fact is that we, the non-specialists with no access to hard evidence, will probably never know what happened, and in fact it does not matter at all.

The origin of the virus is completely irrelevant to its consequences and the potential for accidental or purposeful releases of new viruses, engineered or not, is still there regardless. We're lucky(?) we got ample warning of what biological threats can do, and we got it with a low mortality and morbidity virus.

After all, trying to infer the origin of the virus by it's mutations and features is a bit like trying to infer if a computer virus is made in Russian by the inclusion of Cyrillic variable names or something, anyone can put them in there, so it's basically not even evidence.
Starlink is not geostationary. It is a very high density low altitude system.
Presumably the next step is a synthesizer which can choose the appropriate engine to delegate to based on its own reading of the board.

Yes, but while hydrogen (H) has half the mass of helium (He), H is only 8% better than He in providing lift in the air, if I computed correctly (as that is generated from displacing much heavier air), so it's not a huge deal:

He: 0.1786 kg/m^3

H: 0.08988 kg/m^3

Air: 1.225 kg/m^3

Air vs He: 1.0464 kg/m^3

Air vs H: 1.13512 kg/m^3

To put it differently, for helium, the lift is about 86% of the weight of the displaced air, while for hydrogen it's 93%.

Both very good, and both are much better than hot air!

(which gives a lift of only about 25% of the weight of the displaced air, at typical temperatures of about 120 deg C)
My "listening space" seldom exceeds an inch from my head. Either AirPods Pro or Sennheisers right in/on my ears. That's going to be the target audience of the majority of these changes.

I choose 'phones because my music taste diverges too much from my wife's to make open air play an option, if I want to maintain peace.
Probably the biggest thing is he became famous from creating completely different videos. He didn't get his viewer base from cheating, he most likely cheated because he felt his skills deserved a good time but he didn't want to put in the grind which an RNG-heavy speedrun requires to get a good time. I recommend Karl Jobst's video on it, where he points out that skilled speedrunners don't cheat to get a better time, they cheat to get a good time faster.
Can you walk me through your thinking here? I don’t quite follow. I am listening and open to being wrong.
Nobody thinks that informing people about your product is evil. That isn't what they are talking about when they say "marketing is evil". Thinking otherwise is just you guys not understanding people.

This. Mars missions have a very high probability of failure.

Nobody in China is going to get a huge benefit from livestreaming the success but they would get a huge downside for livestreaming the failure.
Here’s how I understand Atmos.

A long time ago, surround was based on how the wires were hooked up, so first we had 2 channels, then 2.1, 5.1, etc. So your recording might have a left, right, rear channel, but the channels had to be globally defined and premixed. Your audio file would say “play A out of the speaker, B out the right speaker.”

Atmos is redoing that for digital, so you can say that a channel or sound is positioned at a point in space, and your receiver or device figures out which speakers to use to present it. Your audio file says “play A 10’ left of the listener, play B 10’ right of the user.”
Fully automated engines are now probably even with centaur teams.

See, for example, this great write-up: https://www.gwern.net/Notes#advanced-chess-obituary
South Korean on GMaps feel likes a snapshot of 2009. Whereas the rest of Google Maps has switched to something vector based, South Korea still has tiling based map images with different images for different zoom levels and the place names just baked into the image. Any idea why? Apple Maps is great in comparison.
Thank you, Andy! Really appreciate this comment.
I don't know anything about virology, but I do know about wet markets. Every working class neighborhood in every city in China has at least one wet market. I would guess that hundreds of millions of people in China shop at wet markets every day. Even if you filter out all the wet markets that do not sell exotic animals like bats and pangolins, it still seems suspicious that this outbreak appears to have been centered around one of the few wet markets in China that happens to be situated in the vicinity of a major virus lab.
And you're missing the point that these things exist for humans
Very interesting. I’ve recently switched a bunch of sites from GA to plausible, and love it! I only used the few features / tools plausible offers, the rest of GA was privacy invading bloat.

But I foresee I will need the kinds of features volument provides in the near future (only some of the conversion focused websites / pages). Might throw it up on one site today to test it out.
It's not using the shell glob syntax, it's just a regex compatible string. The find utility does the same thing:

find ~/Code -type f -name *.js

Where *.js isn't using the shell glob feature, it's just a regex compatible string.

You could put quotes around it to make it clearer:

systemctl status "*.mount"

The string is matching on unit names, and the mount units have the .mount suffix.
A bit late but [1] shows equal comprehension between justified and ragged-right but much faster reading speeds with ragged right (post-stroke patients in Russian). [2] shows slightly faster reading speed with justified text but less comprehension on a delayed test (also in Russian). [3] has no empirical data but cites articles and claims comprehension is equal between the two formats but ". Poor readers, however, read unjustified text more quickly than justified text."

I would say it's not overwhelming, but I'd go with ragged-right to be safe.

Why would you want to buy at the bid and then sell at the offer with a $1000 spread? You would lose tons of money, unless you mean you were trying to make the market at a tighter spread (instead of taking).

Yeah, I'm referring to the MBP I still have to use sometimes, which is mid-2014. The point being that it's not like Apple has a long history of consistently great trackpads.

Certainly PC trackpads are inconsistent, which is unfortunate. Ideally you should try the trackpad on a laptop in person before you buy it (although if it feels great, and cursor movement sucks under Windows, might be safe to assume that's fixable in Linux).

Interestingly, while I do appreciate some of the gestures on Macs (I don't use many of them), I'd trade that for having physical left/right buttons. I can even play casual games on my Dell laptop without plugging in an external mouse because the experience left/right clicking is so much more reliable.

>I do believe that the zeitgeist that wants to abolish or defund the police does genuinely mean that they do not want the police to exist in any capacity.

I think that idea / narrative makes it easy to circumvent any reasonable discussion on the topic in the political / media sphere.

I think we're nearly at a critical point, if not already. The police were so brazen to beat up and gas news people covering protests, while being filmed doing it.
