Theres a lot of stuff here that I'm not going to pretend to be expert enough to talk about but some is definitely wrong.

I think the main point that is missing is that the standard model is very close to symmetric, so if you have some process that generates systems of 4 or 8 or however many particles from a neutral boson then exactly the same process should occur producing all the anti-particles of the above e.g. if you think you make

1 proton, 1 neutron, 1 electron and 1 neutrino

in such a way that all the numbers balance then you should also see a process that makes

1 anti-proton, 1 anti-neutron, 1 anti-electron and 1 anti-neutrino

Its also worth pointing out that pair production is not specifically an electromagnetic thing. For example the Z0 boson pair produces fermion+anti-fermion pairs in a very similar way to the photon and W bosons decay to lepton+anti-neutrino pairs in a similar way (although W bosons are charged so its a little different). The Higgs boson also decays into quark-anti-quark,lepton-anti-lepton or even boson-anti-boson pairs.

I owned a couple of portable minidisc players in the 90s, one of which was stolen. I recall that they were relatively expensive when compared with cassette players, but they were not that rare.
Because, in a jamming/deception scenario, the jammer acting on a sensor won't just introduce a false reading. It will gradually transition from a true to false state in a manner that looks natural. The jammer will attempt to capture the sensor's attention and then shift its attention away from its target ("seduction"). In such cases it is very difficult/impossible to tell which is true based on past readings from the sensor. Google jamming and "capturing the gate" or "doppler pull", techniques specifically to defeat countermeasures dependent on past readings. With two sensors against a jamming target, the sensor with the clearest signal/most confidence is probably the one being most jammed. (IR flares do similar things too.)
powershell does this with the suggestions component. The easiest way to trigger it is to try to execute something in the current working directory without the ./
As with all things, if the goal is exploration, hell yes try this out.

If you're actually trying to solve the problems Redis is meant to solve, just use Redis. Otherwise you become the sole maintainer of a glued together, suboptimal version of Redis based in Postgres. For most people, they'd rather build whatever caused them to need Redis in the first place, rather than building their own internal worse-version-of Redis.
That would _probably_ be safe, but you have to be sure that the xdcbt instructions in the "special" function are far enough into the function that speculative execution can never reach there. Pipelines are way deeper than most people realize so this might require a lot of instructions before the first xdcbt.

And then, for maximum performance you want prefetch instructions to be as early as possible. So, you immediately have a contradiction.

And, assuming that you resolve this there is still the risk that a mispredicted indirect branch could end up triggering an xdcbt. So, you end up with no guarantees anyway.
Well Gloomhaven is new, but also clunky. Friends aren't too enthused about playing it because the setup is intricate, and the game takes time if you aren't used to it. It's ideal if you can commit to a weekly game (much like DnD I guess).
Of course they really nail you on the shipping and handling fees.
I can attest to this from experience. What’s shocking is that I’ve even seen such a company deliberately ignore my mitigation requests, only to fulfill them in my wake when I gave notice.

And it’s not as if my work wasn’t valued, I had just been given a rather significant raise a couple months earlier. As far as I could tell, they were happy to throw money at extracting every bit of value out of me until I was completely empty.

> at any given moment there are prescriptive rules and norms for what should be

But according to who?

That's an entirely serious question. Because different "authorities" disagree about the rules and norms, and on top of that people disagree on who the "authorities" are or should be.

That's the whole point.
> Game length and fun are not directly correlated.

Not everyone has time for 5 hours of "fun". Let alone when games like Gloomhaven are best played on a consistent basis until it's completed.
mmmm no

They allow overbooking the flight but you can't book the same seat twice.

Overbooking can make financial sense -- even if you need to hand a little compensation from time to time it's still better than flying with empty seats. Of course it sucks big time for the travelers especially if there are no volunteers. IDB is miserable. https://www.transportation.gov/individuals/aviation-consumer...
There's assholes everywhere, in any group, so also there's immigrant assholes. Not letting immigrants in doesn't help with the assholes problem.
> It’s hard to take seriously an article that purports to teach about moral decision-making and doesn’t reference any kind of utility theory

Can you clarify this a little? Utility is helpful, I would think, but there are cases in which utility isn't a reliable indicator. (For example, the utility of running into a burning building to save a stranger; or the utility of telling the truth when a lie would serve better.)
I had a similar experience at the same time.
You can learn all you need to know in 2 to 3 university level courses. So we are talking less than a year of university courses.

Fast.ai is too high level. I don't like it. You would be better served taking actual university courses. A few days ago people linked to LeCun's university class[1]. This is a solid introduction. Does not cover everything but that is OK. Seems like it is missing Bayesian approaches.
Then if you want to specialize in vision or speech or robotics or whatever, you take special classes on that topic and learn all the SOTA techniques.
Then you are ready to do research already, or apply your knowledge to build stuff. Of course you still have to learn how to do real machine learning, which involves all the data manipulation stuff, but that is learned by doing.

> And state legislators appointing senators would make them a lot more visible and make state elections more important.

At the very least, it's debatable whether a state legislature's (hypothesized) collective power to appoint U.S. senators would be an especially-salient consideration for voters in individual legislative races. Quaere whether any light might be shed by data available from before adoption of the 17th Amendment.
Wouldn’t this just produce energy in the form of photons which are neutral in terms of being matter or antimatter which could then turn back into matter? I don’t see how anything has to be lost in this situation. Other than a large amount of entropy being produced.
The way tinder dealt with it, as I understand, is by dividing the world into a coarse grid. Users were placed in the grid, then distances calculated from the centers of the grid squares. Basically rounding of position, not rounding of distance. They tried rounding distance (calculated from exact positions) but one can exploit that by exploring for the boundary where the distance changes from one integer to another.
Don't know why you're being down voted. You are correct. There are many Republicans sympathetic to business but by making them the enemy, you alienate the entire political system. Oops.
> So no, I stand by my claim that the vast majority aren't national chains at all.

Shifting goal posts (now it’s “not national chain” vs “everything is local”), dismissing factual information that doesn’t align with your views, yep, all classic signs of “I’m right no matter what” mentality. Have a nice day!

So that means that the people in Germany that would vote for right-wing parties are the problem, not the immigrants themselves, no matter how well they behave. I agree with that.

This seems like a step backwards.
I had a similar question asked of me in an interview. The interviewer was also surprised by my solution of letting the database decide the winner.
I am in a Fintech boot camp, and it’s clear that doing ML/DL requires very little math, as the math is all abstracted away.
I think this probably happens sometimes in the real world. However, there usually aren't ecosystems with only two species. Most predators eat multiple prey species, so a predator may hunt the "easy" species to extinction leaving only the harder-to-hunt species remain, which causes the predator population to fall as only a subset of the predators are able to succeed in these harder conditions.

Cicadas could be another example of a strategy to deal with prey-decimation - by only emerging every N years, food sources have time time to regenerate between cycles. Similarly, many large predators are nomadic - so as they reduce prey availability in one area, they choose to look elsewhere, giving the prey in that area time to recover.

I think geography and terrain also helps a lot in the real world: prey is usually smaller than predators and thus has more hiding spots. Maybe I should have implemented a 'turtling' mode, where organisms could spend part of their time immobile and invulnerable, but also not gaining energy, as a way to prevent predation. I think sensory organs would still probably be necessary to make that strategy work.
Most web apps I've worked on have had queues in the database. The operational simplicity of only having a database has far outweighed the code complexity of using the relational database as a queue. However the performance would not have scaled. Luckily the performance was well above peak load of the actual systems.
While it can be wrong the cost of a wrong is minor--they test the DNA, it doesn't match, they continue their search, now perhaps with better information as to how the tree fits together.
> Minidisc was a HUGE commercial flop, with a paltry number of releases.

What I remember from my minidisc days were that at least the ones I owned were all recorders. Even though I bought zero minidisc albums, I had a few minidiscs with albums recorded from CDs.

Even though minidisc wasn't ubiquitous, I'm not sure that the number of releases is a good measuring stick.

I would take 50% paycut to get 3 day week, but it is quite hard with constantly evolving SaaS devops.

Moreover teams and dev work are micromanaged these days so much with n-th incarnation of "Agile" and Slack 24/7 presence that it is nearly impossible to get a week of autonomy and hyperfocused deep cave work. I know communication is important, but frequent interruption and progress reporting is killing my productivity and creativity. I feel like drone gluing mudballs to bring some success to daily sprint standup confessional.

Anyway, I'm looking around for greener pastures.
I'm not really an expert on that so I can't comment definitively, I think the answer is a tentative "yes" but I don't think theres really enough evidence to favour any proposals there.
But that's the thing, they don't cause too much trouble, so "yet allow for immigration from countries that almost never cause problems" means let's continue doing what we're doing.

I find the concept repulsive. I'd put it in a nicer way but I can't think of a lighter word that'd fit if I found out one of my friends or loved one was doing that to me.

It seems your girlfriend took it well and it brought you closer to your dad so I'm glad it's worked out well and I can certainly see the appeal as someone who spends a lot of time at work and has trouble keeping up with people. But I think it should require some human interaction, as in either automate notifications telling the user to message one of his contacts, or automate messages but make it so the user has to press send. That's the minimum amount of interaction that I personally feel is necessary to not cheat on the emotional/societal contract that a message to a friend/lover represents.
A lot of people in this thread are acting like it’s super hard to get through or in. You can “social engineer” your way in.

I did it accidentally once at a big hedge fund sort of company. I thought I was being escorted by my friend’s friend. But it was actually just some one familiar with them/their names not fully understanding what I was saying letting me thru the ~3? Times a badge scan was required. I wasn’t paying attention. Only when my friend got scared he would get in trouble did I realize what had happened.
Re-read your post and my answer missed the mark. You weren't accusing the British empire of genocide. My bad.

Certainly I'm not out to excuse the British empire for any atrocities that were committed. Yes, times were different and other empires have been much worse. But a lot of dreadful things were done. Britain gunboats forcing China to accept Indian opium comes to mind as a particulalry shameful and inexcusable example.
This is tricky. I don’t necessarily disagree, but evaluating these things can be more difficult for some people.

For me, it’s very easy for me to get attached because I care about some combination of the problem and the team. I’ve had some major wins improving things in those cases, but I’ve also had some major losses. And it’s very difficult for me to recognize burnout symptoms until they’re severe enough to require extensive recovery time.

Sure, the idea of timeboxing could be useful, but I could also just let that slide given my motivation to improve things. In the end, it’s not worth it to me anymore to put myself in that situation.

I'm not saying they don't invest much, I just say the result is really underwhelming for the capitalisation they have to say the least.
It's just more of the same thing year after year.

So yeah, they invest a bit, but it looks like a big waste of resources in my opinion. The same money given to a lot of diffferent companies would drive much more innovation and employ much more people.
Yeah in my experience whoever starts in Australasia basically always wins because it's so easy to defend. Risk is a pretty terrible game by modern standards anyway.

Not Fast.ai, but I self-studied ML during undergrad (mostly from books) and am currently working as an ML research scientist.

That being said, I'm also thinking about starting an ML PhD because it does honestly open more doors to top research groups.
True. I don't have an idea of how high developer fees have been on proprietary, and restricted use platforms before. I have generally avoided them and grew up on mostly open platforms (Unix / Linux / Windows) before becoming a web application developer and moving on to mobile apps. My main point is that the computing environment is very different today and we should a fight such regressive practices - just because they have been doing something in the past, and can do it now at a larger scale too, doesn't mean we have to accept it and normalise it. Right?
You don't create persistent file system mounts by launching a process, nor do you mount files into the process's file system.
Yeah, I was able to achieve short temporary equilibria, but in every case the predators would slowly die out (and re-evolve later, and die out again), or they'd be too successful and kill everything.
"kh" is a very typical English transliteration of the IPA /x/, which is also represented by the Russian letter Х. Similarly, "ch" represents, sometimes, the IPA /tɕ/. In contrast, "h" does not at all represent the sound /x/ in English.
I mean sure, and some "workers" make 500k/year, but these are obviously exceptions to the rule when we've established that California homeowners made more money in equity on average than workers made in income.

Also pretty sure there aren't many places in California where owning a home is such a liability that your annual losses would exceed those of one renting a comparable property. You might still have to work, but you're still ahead of someone who has to work and pay rent.
That makes sense. But i wonder if two teams creating a port, one straight from the C code and the other with the translation output..

Most people who fire do the opposite of nothing though. For example Mr money mustache, one of the early fire bloggers, doesn't work in corporate but runs his own co working space.

I believe the the part that says:

> It then joins them with a single space:

is incorrect: there is no space added.

The system call `exec` [1] (that is used to execute any program, often in combination with `fork`) takes the command and its arguments as parameters. The space is the way humans (at times through scripts) communicate with their shell (that does the fork-exec dance for them) to let it know what exactly to put into these arguments. But when programs like ssh invoke `exec` they just pass command and arguments as strings, with no separator involved.
Maybe it's just nitpicking, but since the article attempts at going into the details of what's going on it might be important.

It can absolutely scale well if you design the database properly. However, it’ll probably be fairly high latency compared to a Redis or Kafka stream.

The things that often make databases appear slow is that they’re typically configured for large random reads rather than small uniform writes. And they have insane initial response times because of all the IPC they typically do when starting a session.

But aside from that, if you use a heap table without an index you’ll can probably get similar throughout to Kafka. And if you turn Fsync off you might even get up to REDIS speeds.

It would be annoying even with a password manager. Most people are going to care a lot more about that multiple times a day inconvenience than the fact that it’s protecting security.
On iPhone it is more than the steps of authorizing password manager and having them auto filled. You’ll have to click yes and possibly something else to have touch or Face ID to be activated again.

I made a CLI password manager in Bash. It grabs random bytes from /dev/urandom, filters out the non-ASCII, then GPG encrypts with my key. Months later I realized I had reinvented the common utility 'pass'.

I made a utility to type accented characters on Linux. I learned to type French on an English keyboard under windows as a kid using Alt + 0NNN where NNN is the decimal character code. I made a delightfully hacky solution: when I press Alt+0 a tiny window is popped for a fraction of a second to capture the next keystrokes. If they are 3 digits, it spits out the relevant character into the active window. This one is also in bash.

I use a mouse too. I've also started using trackpads more, but for the last 20 years it's been mice in various incarnations (currently a razor deathadder elite), no problems so far. Had a steelseries before that, and a roccat before that, Logitech before that.

I suppose the difference is the religious use of a specific configuration. I usually use the same mouse (buy them 2 or 3 at a time) on Linux (Gnome 3 mostly) and Windows. No problems there either. All on mostly default settings, perhaps a little faster tracking speed but that's about it.
