Does my reasonable doubt count?

The fall guy they pulled in for a raped and murdered jogger in NYC was willing to confess and then was like "woah woah I didn't do the rape where did that charge come from"

There could just as easily be a Brock Turner in the woods seeing an incapacitated girl and fiddling around, except this time the victim would already be or about to be dead.

Too many examples for me to make that conclusion. So, my reasonable doubt would count if I was on the jury. Convicting/Acquitting someone is one thing, we all pat ourselves on the back, but the thing that really bothers me is when the dangerous person is still out there. Who cares about debating the doubt when there is a greater likelihood of ongoing danger in the community but now the investigation isn't even happening. Its debating someone's freedom versus debating the safety of the community which is a larger group of people, the greater doubt is actually about whether the community is now safe instead of whether I like this person's alibi.
> a particle has a slightly different mass from its antiparticle

This is not the case, and that would violate CPT symmetry.

There are two states with different masses (the mass eigenstates) but they are not antiparticles of eachother. They are linear superpositions of the flavour eigenstates:

|D1> = p|D⁰> + q|D̅⁰>

|D2> = p|D⁰> − q|D̅⁰>

where p and q are complex coefficients.

The difference in mass between D1 and D2 is directly proportional to the oscillation frequency.

If p/q ≠ 1, you have CP violation in this mixing. The amount of CP violation in this measurement was found to be consistent with zero.
This is like saying that an apple and its leaf belong to different castes. They have very different roles and are clearly distinguishable in structure. And one of them has as main purpose to protect and nurture the brood.

ALL ferns have complex life cycles with 2 different lifes, (not only the Platycerium). A plant called gametophyte normally short lived and tiny, and another plant called sporophyte that we call fern. Botanists know that since thousands of years ago. There is nothing in Platycerium different or strange.

They just aren't understanding what is an individual. A leaf is not an individual and your hair is not a society of hair that grow in the same direction following the orders of a hairbee queen.

Equaling animals and plants and finding a "soul" in everything (for fame and money none less) is getting more and more annoying each day. I wish we could focus in the real problems of the biology, instead to try to rebuild mythology.

My baseless speculation of choice is that if antimatter is basically regular matter moving backwards in time, all the antimatter we expect to see from the big bang went flying out into negative time, into an anti-universe temporally disjoint from our own.

I think it depends! If you want to zoom out and take the "systems view" using standard components, then you probably don't need much math. If you want to develop new architectures or algorithms, then you definitely will. The well-trodden paths of ML might have most of their math abstracted away, but in my experience every time you get close to the frontiers, people are using math to understand what's going on or develop new approaches.

There are programs, used for testing and “fuzzing” compilers, that generate random programs based on a seed.

When a node runs a random program, it doesn’t know if the output is correct. But it could report the seed and result to a central database.

Then, if you had a several nodes, and two nodes ran the same seed and got different output, that would mean something was wrong and needed investigation.

There are also programs for reducing such programs down to a minimum test case. So once a discrepancy is found, it can be reduced to some small program that recreates it.

I once worked on a compiler backend and a CI job generated random C programs and compared x86 output. against the novel cpu simulator. Any discrepancies found were auto reduced by these tools and then a ticket was automatically created. Lots of our bugs were found and fixed this way.

(My memory is we used C-reduce for the reductions. I can’t remember the tool we used for generating the test programs, but there are several.)
If this is something you, or anyone else reading this, feels like you're suffering: I can offer that you won't necessarily feel this way forever.

Particularly, that kind of feeling inadequate in spite of success is a likely a form of imposter syndrome. Many other people experience it, including people with degrees (there is always someone else with more or more illustrious degrees). Many people feel better just knowing that other, even obviously super-accomplished people, have felt that way and many people seem to more or less age out of it.

While I can't refute the existence of that social stigma, at least I found that there isn't much of that in actuality... but that doesn't prevent it from existing in your head. Of course, there are people who always find something to be snooty about. If it's not the pedigree of your academic credentials it'll be about the brand of your sneakers. Surrounding yourself with thoughtful and emotionally healthy people can help.

At least that is what I experienced and heard from others.

Antimatter isn't matter flying backwards in time, it just has some symmetries that make it appear so in some cases.

If Risk isn't a great game, then why do people playing it get so angry when they start to lose? There is something about Risk that makes players get emotionally invested in a way I just haven't seen in other board games.

In most other games I don't care if I win or lose. This is doubly true in the sort of board games my board game 'aficionado' friends play. In those, there are often multiple different ways to win and everybody might have their own unique win condition, that may not be known to other players. I guess this sort of design is meant to minimize conflict. But the way these games minimize conflict seems to be by making people care less about winning.
The whole key to early Risk is goading your opponents into attacking each other. It's an art.

I understand what you’re getting at a bit better now, but you still haven’t explained why the current situation, where one needs to save 20% for the down payment, and then pay a monthly mortgage payment, is better for the poor.

Where are these places where the buying prices of land is cheap, but the land tax would be high? The buying prices is simply the year rent divided by some discount rate, so typically, the buying price would 20x the yearly rent/tax. That’s a large amount to have to save up (assuming a mortgage is out, like you say).
Does equity in this context refer to the increase in the value of the whole home, or just the increase in the value that is paid into the mortgage?

If the former, duh? If the latter, wouldn't that just mean homeowners make more in general because many afforded the down payment to begin with?

Because having title to a home worth a million dollars does not give you the distinction of being able to invest in PE funds. A 50+ year old married couple that earned incomes around the median and set some money aside in their 401k might have a million or two million dollars of “total net worth”, but it does not mean they can become venture capitalists or develop land or go out and buy a Ferrari. They’re probably still shopping at Costco and flying economy class.

In common vernacular, a “millionaire”, at least when I was growing up, meant someone who could afford luxuries that almost all could not. And while a secure retirement may be available to a select few, that was not the kind of luxury you would refer to when labeling someone a “millionaire”.

I would say describing someone’s wealth in terms of what they can afford to risk, or what they can afford not to worry about is most useful.

You can start with shelter, food, loss of income, health, retirement, legal, etc. By the time one can (per my judgment) start affording discretionary luxuries or investing in PE funds, you should probably have your legal risks covered, which involves you having enough assets or cash flow to not have to work and simultaneously pay lawyers.

Wait, I must be missing something here. If people are nice to each other and that's a bad strategy, surely you get to wipe the floor win them (i.e. fulfill your objective of winning) and if people are nice to each other in a way that makes them hard for you to beat, surely it is you who are playing the worse strategy by not doing the same?

In my group of friends, whether it is Risk or Monopoly, being nice makes it much easier to win. People are happier to enter into mutually beneficial agreements with nice people who they know are honest and keep their word.

I've been using FF 89 for a few days now, and other than tabs-on-bottom getting broken by the update, my only - but major - complaint is that the new "tabs" suck. They don't look like tabs any more, just a bunch of buttons on a bar.

Not only don't the "tabs" look like tabs anymore, it's also very difficult to tell which one is actually selected, which can be very annoying depending on how you use tabs.

How is a bunch of page-select buttons on a bar an improvement on a design where they actually look like tabs?

Edit: Actually, the lack of visual feedback on which "tab bar" button corresponds to the current page (i.e is the current tab) is likely annoying for most users, since you need to know in order to close that tab rather than some other one by mistake. Best bet to be sure is to click on the tab button you think is the current one, to reselect it, before clicking again on the "x" to close it.
You're not destroying the game, your changing future playthroughs. Sure you tear up cards but those get replaced with new ones. You change the gameboard, rules, factions every time you play meaning every subsequent game is different.

If you play with the same people it makes those (hopefully friendly) rivalries across play sessions have weight and maybe even consequences.

Sure you might only get 2 dozen games out of it before you've "completed" it and need a new copy but this isn't the 80s where people have a choice of Risk, Monopoly, and Cludeo. 2 dozen games can last years, if not decades.
I would love to be able to find something I enjoy. Unfortunately, my time and money are limited. I have a number of things I'm interested in, but there's no way to get a free trial to see if I'd truly enjoy them. It has to be an all in decision, whether that sacrificing time to try to build the skills necessary (which could very likely be in vain as as you can teach yourself skills, but you cannot teach yourself experience, which is weighted much hire than skills in many areas) or something else. It's very rare for me to see a job that makes me thing "oh this looks very cool and is something I'd like to do", and when I do see one, I almost certainly do not have the skills or experience to obtain it. If I were to try to work towards it, I'd probably fail too, as by the time I find myself at a point where I could comfortably apply, the job is gone, and I've wasted time that could have been spent elsewhere. Additionally, despite what many people here seem to think, many careers and companies (even with SW development) still heavily rely on credentialism, where if you don't have any, or the right type of credentials you're out of luck.
> It was also the first place I ever worked where it was normal for people to get fired in their first year. Not sure how you ask about that in an interview though, lol.

There is a way, actually.

One of the things you want to ask when joining a non-tiny company is about the overall retention figures. Average/median tenure is a good start, especially coupled with a question on what the company does with their exit interview data. You could also ask for a rough bucketing on the tenure: how many people stay beyond 1y/3y/5y.

It's going to be a rare company who can (or will) share even semi-accurate figures, but you should be able to get a decent grip on the fractions. Also, if those in the company who are supposed to know this are evasive about the question, that's a red flag all on its own right.

I've been leaning pretty heavily on Discord during COVID to stay in touch with friends. I play D&D with some of them and wrote a Discord bot for dice-rolling since we already used Discord for audio/video during our sessions.

When a client connects to Postgres, Postgres creates a new process just for that client. Separate processes are great for isolation but it means Postgres connections are a bit expensive (this is an active area of improvement). Postgres really starts to struggle once you a have a few thousand connections, even if those connections aren’t doing anything.

The common workaround is to use a connection pooler like PGBouncer so that clients reuse connections. This approach doesn’t work for LISTEN because typically a client will listen for its entire lifecycle so you can’t share connections in a pool.
This is a really excellent topic to bring up -- the fact that glue code grows essentially quadratically.

Has it been a topic of exploration much in computer science? Any literature?

After all, sometimes it feels like most of the programming you wind up doing is glue code.

On the one hand, it feels like the kind of thing that there should be better tools for at least writing it declaratively, and let the computer turn it into code.

But on the other hand, it feels like a lot of that already is taken care of. E.g. CSS is essentially declarative glue code for what would otherwise be a huge number of painting and layout lines of code.

And most of the glue code I myself wind up writing winds up being written specifically to handle various constraints around memory, disk space, etc -- e.g. how to import a protobuf that changes every 30 seconds and convert it to 10,000 rows in a live database in a way that's performant -- and so isn't as amenable to something simple.

But I do still wonder if there's more opportunity here for more declarative coding when it comes to "glue".

See also the investigation of So Long Sucker in The Trap. Quoting Wikipedia:

>The programme traces the development of game theory, with particular reference to the work of John Nash [...] He invented system games that reflected his beliefs about human behaviour, including one he called 'Fuck You Buddy' (later published as "So Long Sucker"), in which the only way to win was to betray your playing partner, and it is from this game that the episode's title is taken. These games were internally coherent and worked correctly as long as the players obeyed the ground rules that they should behave selfishly and try to outwit their opponents, but when RAND's analysts tried the games on their own secretaries, they were surprised to find that instead of betraying each other, the secretaries cooperated every time.
