I'm fully aware that he's not talking about decoding JPEG images, and instead is talking about keeping Y'CbCr formats in memory and rendering with Y'CbCr.

It's not lossy. But Y'CbCr -> RGB is not as simple as you might think. My whole post was about Y'CbCr -> RGB conversion. It's doable; I'm not saying it's impossible. There's just several various flavors of Y'CbCr and correctly handling all of them (or at least the majority/most common) gets tedious.
Okay I didn't know that the LN has no fees. How does this network sustain itself economically?
My issue with it is central data repositories create a kind of secret surveillance para-bureaucracy with no individual accountability.

What is frustrating is efforts like this are trying to squeeze the toothpaste out of the tube, and I suspect before current techs we have today like differntial privacy and tokenization make anonymous sharing and analysis viable. Medical researchers are people like anyone, they aren't some kind of preisthood, and they are going to leak and share the data and use it for political purposes as their opportunities and incentives change.

The technical controls researchers actively resist are basic corporate controls as simple as identifying everyone who logs in to view the datasets with their real names, background checks on people with admin credentials on personal health databases, probabilistic watermarking and dating cuts of datasets shared with researchers so that any leaks can be traced back to a specific accountable people to contain it, and requiring a public record and accounting of the research and projects they were using the data for, using synthesized data in technical test environments and not real health information. These are basic corporate controls that aren't part of the research culture. Some places may have them, but I wouldn't be surprised if the organizations conspire to neglect their processes.

The benefits they say are for using ML for research and it will cure all manner of diseases and detect others early. This sounds great, but what is missing are legal consequences for exploiting people via their data. People aren't managed livestock, so the prestige of a few researchers needs to be balanced with the quality of the society these new data powers create. If your worst political enemy is an exception to the principle of the confidentiality of this data, then you aren't suited to access it, and to be allowed to do so compromises the whole system for everyone.

A test people could use for privacy is whether you would be ok with the activist groups operating in universities, communist party of china, and their federal police force having secret legal access to health records, and if they aren't, what rules do we need to compensate?

Inadmissability of data in any of these data sets in legal proceedings seems like one useful control. Personal penalties for abuse and leaking of this data would be another. Licensing and professional regulation of individuals who administer systems that process personal information that has been obtained without explicit consent of individual data subjects seems complex, but I could see some version of it happening in the next 20 years.

Without these additional controls, it's just a data grab, and these GP's are right and in fact brave to resist it.
Basically this. I think the more interesting question is how it might be possible to extract value from dominating log writes in more subtle ways. If stock market HFT can be a entire industry, what might be possible by tipping the scales of transaction latency?
Ok, so now I am a crypto exchange, which credited peoples' accounts based on expected safe finalization (which arguably doesn't exist: that's the core issue here... these kinds of services are arguably impossible); and your hard fork is effectively happening in the past which is unlike any normal hard fork (which is always scheduled in the future). The term "roll back" absolutely applies here.

FWIW, I expect most exchanges to grind to a complete halt upon noticing this much chain reorganization (enough to break their finalization assumptions) and so the entire ecosystem would have to sit around and figure out what to do manually, with different participants having noticed at different moments and with different losses due to already-spent debts... it would be a complete mess to repair.
Any jamming attempts would have to be localized within a certain radius. Jamming an entire country's worth of area is probably untenable unless you are a really small country. Even then you could e.g. route communications across the border with a meshnet and then shoot them up to Starlink in a location that isn't being jammed.

This is the castle and invader problem; the castle builders must guarantee that there is no hole anywhere in the castle, and the invaders only have to find or make one hole to render the castle useless. Whereas you could cut an underwater cable and guarantee outages for at least a few days or weeks, an adversary only needs to move to an un-jammed area in order to resume communication with the greater world.
Where I live in central Kansas there's plenty of (small) hills and trees. Also as someone else mentioned, the Flint Hills are not flat.

Western Kansas is the part that's mind numbingly flat.
But in the 51% attack (or at least in most cases of it) both blocks are completely valid. You're just racing your original spend with a pre-mined alternative and hope that the alternative will collect confirmations earlier. One of the blocks is dishonest only in outside world terms, not in data validity. I.e. an outside observer who doesn't know you doesn't know which spend is beneficial to you. Or am I missing something here?
Map of the Creator
Well if a merchant doesn't want to spend or lock anything, it doesn't have to. Consumers and gateways can open channels to the merchant and that's enough for them to pay the merchant.

In the case of a merchant that doesn't want to participate much in the network, gateways have interest in opening to him to allow consumers to pay the merchant for a fee.
It says to never criticise someone, especially in public.

You've extrapolated a bit weaving in this modern MBA idea where we should all seek feedback.

Carnegie just deals with very basic human emotion and I'd wager to say he is still right. People asking for negative feedback are participating in these MBA rituals, but don't actually want to hear criticism about themselves.

I think the trilemma is something like: improve traffic capacity, reduce conflict points, forgive wrong turns — pick two. The increasing popularity of GPS makes it easier to drop the last item. Of course, it's going to take some getting used to.

Yes, but this is more the trans-administration national security blob than Biden people in particular.

The WSJ author had brought us other CIA-approved gems about WMDs in Iraq once upon a time.

You might be onto something with garden-variety liberals feeling 'free' to try and blame China now that Trump's out of sight, though.
Others would argue it's kind of the opposite, funding of science by risk-averse and bureaucratic government agencies.

What's wrong with reaching out to managers? If they are in meetings all day long; there is no need for having their own office anyways ;)
My question was rather "does it really make batteries cheaper?".
I just hope that WebGL, WASM etc are not going to be abused like JavaScript now is and will be only used for professional applications when you actually need it or useless, nonessential things like video games.
I love this! Excellent combination of GUI and textarea. Does it keep working if you cmd+save it locally?
I was basing it on 69% of fishing time vs. 66% of gaps. Of course it could just be that their average gap is longer. That statistic is unfortunately missing even from the full report, although they must have it if they were able to identify the ten vessels with the longest gaps.
Whether closures are or are not allowed to mutate state depends on the programming language (or the aim of the programmer, if the programming language doesn't force their way). Closures are a syntactical building block helping functional programming (building functions out of objects is just much more syntactical overhead), but whether a particular closure is a pure function or not is a separate concern. If the function is to be pure (hence satisfying the core of the "framework") then it would not be allowed to mutate state.

What I Learned from Nand2Tetris(2014)
A lot of times when they pull left turns it means they’re pulling out the stoplights, putting barriers of some kind down the middle and you can’t cross at that spot at all anymore on foot or in a car. If you have to park on the opposite side of the street from where you’re going you may be walking blocks just to cross.

Sure you could try jaywalking but that’s probably not a bright move in a lot of cities.

I’ll be honest I have no idea why you all are downvoting. This literally happened in a city near where I grew up and it is a giant pain. I presume he was actually asking the question because he didn’t understand why it would require more time.
Software development is my only expertise and it doesn’t interest me at all. I am very good at it but not excellent. I don’t even think about it beyond the usual 9-5 or so. I don’t want to, I don’t feel like it. I think the effort you need to put or that minimum amount of passion/liking you’ve to put into it, for being very good —> excellent, is just missing from my life (or rather missing from my “work”).

I am in mid 30s now (single; kinda by choice; with no financial liability) and it feels like it’s some kind of fake life I’m living at work even though I know that people one forth of my skill have lived it through and make it through 55 and all.

I considered switching caterers like studying public policy etc or sometimes just doing a one year MBA from somewhere but even the thought scares the shit out of me (thought of MBA I mean). I like history, literature. I often fantasise about working in film making (industry) (not something to do with computers though). I had done woodworking and I had really liked it. Then I dropped.

I am slowly trying to make peace with it. Trying to get into some nice MNC for 6-7 years and kinda stick around and then a stock of things after that.

Why I’m not exploring other fields is because one thing I don’t want in my life at this stage is not earning a living - bills and saving for emergency (in this country you gotta do that; there’s no healthcare).

I think I’m not alone like this. There are many people like me. Or that’s the hope. Maybe I’ll make it somehow.

I think I should meet some kickass career counsellor or make a long post on some subreddit. I had tried here once. In fact that’s how I had created this account.
So even after 100 years of extraction, the effect would still be less than 0.005%.
Better yet, replace intersections with roundabouts. But that would mean knocking down a lot of buildings.
I have to admit my memory about these things is quite hazy. About the mathematics, I do not have anything useful to add. About the history, you may be right, but my recollection seems mostly compatible with the brief history recounted in [0], which is also cited by the note you linked. The author of the note also repeats the assertion about Nash's role in the subject (of global isometric embeddings), and explains that the simpler proof presented is due to Gunther (which came later I think).

I tried to find a more detailed history, but in a few minutes' searching on the web (and flipping through the textbooks I can access from home) did not find one. Somewhat surprising given interest in the subject! Possibly this is covered in, e.g., Spivak.

In any case, both UK and Chinese scientific teams are not on the verge of a machine that can create everyday objects from a sudden blast of laser energy — so far, that reality only exists in science fiction.

assuming 100% effeciency, it would still take 1kg of matter converted to some kind of energy (power generation) to light to get that 1kg back again in a different form... is that correct?

and i guess if you wanted to get anti-matter... would this be more efficient way thanother current methods?

I’m not sure what you mean. Transfer pricing does happen within a tax year.

A gizmo is 95% assembled in Country A with 50% tax rate. Company wants to sell that 95% gizmo for 10% of the actual price to their subsidiary in Country B with a 5% tax rate. Finish the product there then book 90% of the revenue in the low tax country.

That’s transfer pricing. There are account regulations that define how that price is set. That said it’s hard with IP and other assets with less tangible value.
When are we going to stop other countries from raping our oceans?

I guess we are afraid of China, and don't want to start an international incident?

(USA dude. Yes--they are encroaching on our water too.)
No, because adding the floating icon requires injecting code on the page to create the icon. So then the page has a way to interfere with your password manager's UI. That is the problem with the content script approach.

Although if the browser provided a specific mechanism for extensions to create floating icons that couldn't be altered by the page (and you make sure to account for hidden fields and other clickjacking techniques), then that might work.
The Raspberry Pi 4 is on the order of 10 - 20X more powerful than the Gamecube's 20 year old, single core ~400 Mhz 32-bit CPU. The GPU is a bit more difficult to compare, but I'd guess a well optimised emulator with JIT/code translation ought to run very well on Pi 4 hardware.

It depends how you define "simple" : '(ap|ib|ind)ex' is fewer symbols and a smaller character graph.

There is no offside in golf...yet. But the rules are surprisingly long, and will only get longer as loopholes are found and exploited. Humans trying to codify a game, or any system, cannot do so precisely; others can and will find the gaps between the written rules and the intended meaning, and play a different game but pretend it's the same. Or I guess, every game is a language game?

Which I think is a point of meta rationality: we can't avoid including questions of the rules of the problem. It's clouds all the way down.
It’s definitely a modern phenomenon to have such short term planning.

In the past (building cathedrals for example) humanity had advanced project timelines of many hundreds of years. I wish we were able to replicate the long-term thinking strategies of the past.
Their concerns are valid. If I was them I'd leave as soon as I had an offer from another company. A company opening positions in another location with such few employees is very concerning.

Assurance that their jobs are safe is a joke. Its like when a company says that they are just one big family. Only management believe those lies and they force them on everyone else.

Not defending them, but it looks like it's a wider problem than just "China bad".
That's very much possible, but it's still difficult to know that through the noise of the usual volatility I guess.
Isn't the demo suggesting that the original one also looked more realistic had the content creators simply made better choices for colors and textures?
> To me, that's the only thing that's new, is the institutional suppression of any suggestions outside of an orthodox version.

This isn't new at all. It's been a staple of many human cultures throughout history, including US culture for much of the 20th century (and, I would say, all of the 21st century). I think what's probably a new experience for most of us is just how all-encompassing the pandemic has been as an issue of discussion.
Or just remove cars from the city altogether.

Didn’t know who this was, so I looked him up. Who has a personal 787? Turns out he’s an Argentine actor and film magnate who is an ex-commercial pilot. I guess that’s one way to come to own your own ~$122m aircraft.
Yes, Gamecube (and Wii) games are upscaled right up to 4K and they look great. Many games work in 16:9 widescreen also (Gamecube was originally 4:3).

For many games there are even community high-def texture packs that you can add to make them look even better.

Unless you’re very rich or living like a monk, boycotting Chinese made products is not an easy task. Go to any American supermarket and look at the labels, I bet a majority of them are made in China.

Voting with wallet only works when there are options. I bet the devices that you and I used to write these very comments are highly likely made in China too, at least partly
Hey! Thank you very much. I haven't actually thought about it. My gut feeling says it _won't_, but I'm not able to point out a reason. But that's a good idea, I do want to have a local version of this someday, perhaps it could be that simple?
I've seen so many posts about or at least implicitly accepting the lab leak hypothesis in a very short time now, that it almost seems like some sort of concerted campaign to me. Would be interesting to know if there is an upvoting block doing this. Did I miss any new evidence coming out? Everything I saw so far seemed rather circumstantial.

Question: What are the legalities surrounding a 51% attack?
This is pretty anemic self reflection. He never even mentions how the scientific establishment was corralled into compliance with the favored narrative by the Lancet letter organized by Daszak, who was a key player funding gain of function research that involved Wuhan and how that letter was the basis for a year of “fact checking” and cancellation.

He didn’t mention how the Washington Post just changed a 15-month-old headline (of the story he links to) to make themselves look better.

This reporter and his ilk are now busily ignoring or downplaying connections of the US government and Fauci to funding of gain of of function research in which the Wuhan lab was involved. (Cuz Rand Paul already made up his mind or something.)

They won’t really learn anything from this sorry episode.
Royal Caribbean announces cruises with no vaccine requirement
That’s not true at all. Your example is a special situation.

https://www.irishtimes.com/business/economy/top-10-companies...

The top 10 corporate tax payers, including Pfizer, Apple and Intel made up 50% of all corporate tax revenue in Ireland, $6B.

Ireland has 4M people, that means the top 10 companies contribute $1500 for every man woman and child in Ireland. That’s a hell of a deal for the country.
Launch of Digital Nomad Residency Malta
On the 2nd of June, the government announced the nomad residency scheme is now in law! This allows non-eu citizens to obtain an EU residency through Malta.

The problem with the waterfall model is that it only works if you can determine the requirements up front and they stay fairly static. Sometimes that's true, but all too often its impossible.

But iterative development and fail-fast are independent of quality. If a company skips security reviews and is fine with technical debt because "it works, just ship it", what makes you think they would do security reviews or care about better-than-minimum code quality when following a waterfall system
A very different number for a 51% attack against a completely different consensus mechanism does not seem like it should provoke skepticism. Especially since resistance against 51% attacks is a specific benefit of that new mechanism. Are you proposing that the website plops down that $15B number for a consensus mechanism that isn't even operational yet?

(I think there are other things that are misleading, notably that it measures what Nicehash could do, but not all of its capacity is actually for rent at any given time.)
Bitcoin equipment is specilaised to mining. You'd have to rent 51% of all mining eqipment for an attack, at which point you wouod destroy the value of bitcoin and make the mining eqipment you've just rented worthless. Why would anyone rent to you in that case?

So you'd have to buy the equipment, which is a gradual process, would be extremely expensive and would be noticed.
