One question I have is what does “correct” mean? If a DCI-P3 image is displayed on an sRGB monitor, is there a “correct” way to do it? I would think that there might be multiple valid ways to convert wide gamut colors into sRGB, and that it really depends on what constraints the viewer wants satisfied. For example, if I want to preserve relative perceived differences between colors, maybe I’d map the boundary of DCI-P3 to the boundary of sRGB, and then interpolate all the interior colors (possibly with some non-linearities). This would allow people with sRGB monitors to see the WebKit logo in the article’s example, and it’s a perfectly reasonable and valid way to convert colors. However, this would make it so that converting from sRGB red to DCI-P3 and back returns a different color (less bright and/or saturated) than what you started with. So a different and perfectly reasonable conversion would be to match the colors within the sRGB gamut perfectly at all times, and clamp colors outside the sRGB gamut to the sRGB boundary. Even when clamping, there are multiple valid choices - clamp to the nearest point (prioritize brightness), or move toward the center of the gamut and stop on the boundary intersection (prioritize hue). A third option would be to preserve some overlapping interior region of the two gamuts exactly, and start to smoothly blend between them near the boundary.

What I think this means is that I don’t know whether I can expect to see the WebKit logo on an sRGB display. Since the browser doesn’t ask me what kind of conversion I’d like, it’s reasonable to assume it’s clamping when converting (in which case the logo is lost), and it’s also (perhaps) reasonable to expect color differences to get preserved (in which case I’d see the logo).

Probably the most correct thing to do would be to let either the developer and/or the viewer have a say in how the conversion should happen?

> you can’t just have the renderer do color management from a single source - sRGB - to a single target

I’m not sure I understand what you mean here, could you elaborate? What else needs to be involved? I would think knowing the source color space, and the target monitor’s nearest supported color space is exactly what you need, so if the source is DCI-P3 and the monitor only has sRGB, a sophisticated but well defined conversion is used, while if the monitor is DCI-P3 then the conversion is the identity function.

Once you’ve gotten the streamlining part right, new actors can come in to make this cheaper. Those developers just want to keep the code complex so that only 100 unit projects are viable so that huge firms are the only ones who can execute projects.

Then stop doing that, and talk about the situation at hand, using the evidence in front of you.

I'm not sure that I buy you're assertion that kindness is either necessarily or sufficiently described by a lack of aggression per se.

Kindness is maybe better described by keeping the the inner life of your fellow beings in the forefront of your mind and treating them with respect relative to that inner life and your own hopefully well though out ethical frame. I can certainly see how that would often limit the amount of aggression you would employ but I see that as a secondary effect.

I was talking about Afghanistan, but it's a similar situation in Iraq. The justification for the Iraq war is bs, but the situation in both countries is similar right now. There are weak governments that were allies that we are hanging out to dry. Our soldiers feel horrible about leaving the people they fought besides to die from the onslaught that is coming. The enemy is battle hardened and without mercy. I feel horrible for all involved but it seems like it will be worse in Afghanistan. I can't imagine being a father to a daughter who wanted a bright future for their child right now. They have at most, one year of schooling left before those schools are snubbed out harshly. Our previous allies that fought along side our soldiers have an even more grim future. There will be a stasi like hunt and subsequent execution of thousands for those that helped us.

What would you do when you fought alongside people that became your brothers? Would you betray them and abandon them to this horrible fate?

It's easy to call them useful idiots sitting thousands of miles away and safe. They are not dumb, they see the reality on the ground that we are not privy to.

At the same time, our soldiers are dieing. It's ugly whatever route we take and I don't know the least horrible decision that should be made.
I suppose it further reduces the chance of a collision. If you're in a totally random space, there's always a chance someone will generate a collision if you wait long enough. But if you follow the timestamp and MAC address rules, then for a collision to happen it basically needs to be the same computer hitting the same number twice on the RNG within one second, which is less likely.

But, since that only holds true if people follow the rules, it's worth standardizing on either v1 or v4, and so it's good to be able to distinguish between the two for validation purposes.

How do you determine if planning or not planning is a causative factor? Maybe it’s just luck and maybe most unplanned cities do not survive to be viewed as beautiful.

I am sure scale of planning matters too, and that there was at least a little bit of planning, but perhaps smaller in scale.

The more evident factor in “beautiful” cities is probably that they came about before the advent of personal automobiles. They are much more pleasant to be in outside of a vehicle, and hence more “beautiful” simply because there were no vehicles at the time, and so whatever developed, planned or unplanned, had parameters that only considered people not in big boxes moving at high speeds.

I don't think the culture and drugs are linked in any way, shape or form. I've met a number of drug addicts over the years and they all came from very differnt backgrounds: poor as hell, filthy rich, uneducated as well as highly educated and everything in between. Most[] of them shared one thing in common however: whatever misfortune they have in their live, they blame it on someone else. Most often that's the "government". Note the quotes here, by government I don't mean the government as any institution but more as a global conspiracy of evil masterminds that controls their lives and actively work against them at every step they make(which is a surprisingly common belief). At least see that as the common denominator across all the cultures in the last 50 years or so - the hippy movements, the heavy metal movements, the punk movements, the rap movements, and whatever is happening today(I've lost interest and so I have no idea what is popular today). It's an easy way to be part of a community and have the feeling that you are fighting back by doing the exact thing that you are told not to do, without suffering from(immediate) consequences, the way you would if you crash at 200km/hour for instance. And because producing and distributing drugs is illegal, then drugs are clearly not part of the status quo, so that cannot be a part of the conspiracy, right? I'm aware that's an oversimplification of the issue but you can go down that rabbit hole almost infinitely and you can see how that ties all cultures together.

If I am not successful getting them to comply, would a DMCA be appropriate and would I be asking for legal troubles if I submit a DCMA?
They don't need to do that. The majority of (monetary) value add in the supply chain is large-scale refinement and transportation of the drug product from a region of lower economic value to a region of higher economic value (i.e smuggling). Both the production and last-mile distribution are very decentralized and limited in terms of monetary compensation.

If you've already made 95% of your profit in the central steps of the value chain, taking an increased risk to increase efficiency of last mile distribution is not worth it. Especially when centralization in an uber for drug dealers type of application heavily increases the risk of being neutralized and prosecuted by law enforcement rather than decentralized street level dealers who can never effectively compromise those higher up in the supply chain.
It seems strange. The most expensive vaccine is Pfizer and it costs about 30 euros. A doctor administering vaccine could charge maybe another €30. Of course, you could find a private clinic or something which charges €150 but then why mention waiting list for homeless?

I believe that people can get mistakenly declared dead and depending on how corrupted the legal system is, it may be almost impossible to reverse the decision. I wouldn't expect this in France however. Maybe, a year or two to resolve if the bureaucracy is moving slowly. There is something that is missing in this article. I can buy that the court had a gullible judge or something but what about other institutions that award social security or medical care? Wouldn't they need a death certificate? And if they had made a mistake wouldn't they try to correct it?

In Latvia there is central register of all persons. Some people immigrate to other countries and then die there and the register never gets updated, therefore according to this register we have a lot of people over 100 years old. You could go to the court to make a case that a certain person has disappeared for really long time, so he must be dead by now. I have never heard about such cases being reversed but theoretically someone still could return from abroad alive. I don't think that the state would refuse to correct their mistake unless it was a question of national security or a lot of money was involved.

Any good recommendations for books on SQLite?

I’ve never spent much time with SQLite directly. My main interaction has been through Django and the ORM layer.

My day job uses a custom object database. While I’m familiar with SQL and relational DB concepts I haven’t worked heavily with them.
I wish that were true (genuinely, a shared vocab would be super useful). I've heard so many nonsensical things from CISSPs, I should really start a parody Twitter account. Did you know, for instance, that SSL is an important control for preventing SQL injection? How about that salting is not effective against rainbow tables because of the birthday paradox (yes that's actually what they said).

It's just a cram-and-forget vocab test, it doesn't mean anything other than that they could afford the training and the test.
So the reduced features can be used for inference/prediction?

Also, is there some rule for choosing a) the number of dimensions the unreduced dataset should be mapped on to, b) the number of neighbors?

I assume the default parameters would work for most tasks.

I read the deck not the videos, but their is a section on “nice” versus "kind" slice that is the complete opposite of your straw man. Direct feedback about your work that covers both the good and the bad is considered kind and encouraged.

In fact, psychological safety is what creates an environment where actions and decisions can be discussed and critiqued rationally rather than emotionally. The blameless part is shorthand for focusing on the system rather then the person. After all, if Alice took down production by modifying a config file she thought was on the dev environment it makes far less sense to focus on blaming Alice did versus discussing why someone was able to modify production without appropriate checks in place.

The "bring the whole person" and "be yourself" concepts need work though. There are fair number of people I know who I really would not want to just "be themselves" at work.

I listened to a couple of Bret’s own podcasts after he was a guest on Lex’s show. I think it’s important to be able to discuss this stuff (origins of the virus, emerging therapeutics, potential risks or adverse effects of vaccines) freely without being censored by YouTube. It shouldn’t be censored and some of these ideas may turn out to be correct. In the meanwhile, I’ll happily take an mRNA vaccine based on my own personal/public health risk analysis.

That said, I take everything he and his brother Eric say with a large pinch of salt - they are clearly both very intelligent but I don’t like this cult leader like absolute certainty of their own ideas and the audience (and revenue) building based on controversy and semi-conspiracy. I think it’s essential to have many voices though so I welcome what they are bringing in to the mix, but personally for me it gets tiring after a couple of podcasts.
