This is why math teaching pedagogy is important. I'm a fan of first principals and pattern finding for learning math (see Mathematician's Lament by Lockhart [0]).

Most kids in the US are historically taught memorization tricks. You have a kid who can't recall if x^1 = 0 or 1 or if it was x^0 = 1 or 0. They can't _remember_ some fact like a needle in a haystack of thoughts. However, the student who understands that x^3 = x * x * x and x^2 = x * x, will quickly know that x^1 must be x, and if each step is "divide by x", then x^0 must be 1.

I'm curious where the current math education trends will take us on this path, but I do like that they seem to focus more on understanding rather than rote memorization.

For sin, cos, and tan, they are much more re-discoverable if you are familiar with the unit circle's basics.

The problem here is that most people won't use most of the math knowledge they gain (and then lose) in school. But for programmers, it's different. Math can be fairly common in programming, especially depending on what field you're working with, and you wouldn't want to lose the knowledge you gained in school, but, unfortunately, most people will lose it.

What I propose is a better way to find math knowledge. In contrast to programming, math problems are harder to find solutions for, and the information available is quite sparse and hard to find online, from my personal experiences.

When I try to tackle programming problems, most of the time I won't memorize code snippets or algorithms, instead I'll have a mental link pointing to the name of the algorithm or the specific page, that I can search up, find, and then implement.

This is the total opposite of what school tries to do. They try to force memorization, which should come naturally. A better way to do it is to let the students have the equations and the necessary information that they need, then they can fit the puzzle pieces together to solve the problem. We live in the age where everything is becoming more and more documented, and we're still forcing memorization on people.
The default reserved size is 8mb. The allocated size starts at a page (usually 4k), and grows in page sized increments as you use it.
Unless there are hidden psychological effects (which good players will attempt to surmount, as a matter of course), mirroring the board placement will make no difference.

There is no asymmetry of moves other than the starting position of the king and queen, so all strategy will simply be mirrored if the king and queen are mirrored.

IANAL but my gut tells me no, unless you're in a place like Russia, North Korea, China, most of the Middle East, parts of Africa and Latin America, and some parts of the former Soviet Bloc. In western nations, you might get arrested for asking questions if it upsets the powers that be and they deem you a nuisance.
" When that red outline appears it's showing that the opponent is now being rendered, and that the z-buffer is being used to obscure them from behind the pillar."

Yeah, that's game rendering in the engine. That's visualizing something, not illustrating how the server is doing it. Did you actually read and understand your own link?

"That's the issue that people want to solve."

No it isn't, you misunderstood your own link to the point that you have it backwards.

The server not rendering the entire game from each person's perspective every for every player every frame.

The problem is being able to see every player walking around all the time.

Think for a moment what would happen if the server actually had perfect visibility - by the time you can see them it is already too late. You should be able to see them and then the server starts sending you a position. By the time you know you should see them, you should have already seen them and the other player pops into frame.

That isn't even buried in your own link, it's at the very top.

"Consider an example of an opponent with just one pixel of their gun visible around a corner. How do you send that information to the client without telling them there's an opponent there, so that the user has to actually see the pixel? You'd have to just send that one pixel, right? Now we're talking about rendering server-side!"

This is gibberish and is a lot like Frank Abignail trying to BS pilots. Once again your own link explains why this is nonsense from a lot of different angles, did you even read what you linked or did you just look at the pictures? It explains everything clearly.
You've picked two of the easier games to solve--heads up games. More specifically, heads up games with specific stack depth

There is no AI that can play well, for instance, in a 9-handed game with varying stack sizes, while itself and some competent players are 600BB deep and some other players are 40bb deep.

It takes a specific, narrow ruleset to tailor an AI to be able to play it at such a high level. Or more compute than we currently have in real-time.

Pluribus' matches against pros had each hand reset to 100BB.

Also, notably, the bot can still lose in the short term to terrible players, which was the thrust of my post. In fact, given its bluffing frequency, it might actually do worse against weaker players than it did against pros. Additionally, no human can realistically implement an AI strategy, meaning the AI is not a big detriment to the actual game of poker, as it's currently played.
You're absolutely right; they're not "honest mistakes" but they're not dishonest either. Even anonymity will not work unless the population is so large that they won't know the lone voice is you.

What they really are is: peer pressure. If all your peers have signed up for May 1 and you "know" it'll really be September, you'll incur their displeasure (or worse) if you say that. As you found out.
Right, I admit there are better ways to do it, but I don't think it's obviously true that goroutines specifically are either more compact or faster to switch between. The benefits might be imaginary. The Go runtime has a thread scheduler that kinda sucks actually (it scales badly as the number of runnable goroutines increases) and there are also ways of making native threads faster, like SwitchTo https://lkml.org/lkml/2020/7/22/1202
This is how I remember numbers, spelling, and names sometimes. A sequence of numbers has a nice plot / wave to it. I can't say my mapping from these categories to shapes generalizes for anyone else and it hasn't made me particularly good at memory competitions. It's just how it works.

Also, memorizing a couple of credit card's information has saved me so much time -- highly recommended.

Well sort of. We can't legally, right? The constitution prevents that. If Facebook is simply censoring the things that consumers ask it to, it is absolutely serving itself (in a profit driven way), but it isn't asserting Facebook's morals. It's asserting something more like "American consumer morals".
I have a personal philosophy on most health oriented fads: if someone is actively trying to sell something, it's snake oil. Too many people are looking for everlasting life that they're okay with being swindled in the pursuit of it. Naive enough to believe that people are honest when promoting products they're were paid to promote.

I want to see more communities with people building things together instead of a lot of people just consuming what a few influencers do in some far away fantasy land.
I thinks a lot of the tech elite trying to build the next big thing to sell and save themselves could try to build the next big thing that allows people to work closely. Think of it as Stackoverflow vs Instagram, the first allowed a lot of people to help each other, the second just made a lot of consumers and a few big scale sellers.

I've had a thought on how to solve this issue by using basically a research paper futures market. You could implement this with Ethereum Smart Contracts. You have a market around the validity of research papers. You would need some authority that would act as the oracle of the paper's validity. If the paper is found invalid before some time period the people who bet on the paper's truth would lose their money to the people skeptical of a paper. This would also act as a mechanism to signal which papers people don't trust by the amount of people betting against a paper's validity.

US Teens engage with iMessage more than any other social platform (2017)
NDP was a single issue party that had wider support among middle class, at that time Liberal voters than radicals. I think it was Garret's first foray into any kind of activism. From memory his rock band were mostly fairly moderate private school boys with the kinds of concerns about the state of the world that tend to cross party affiliations. In the 1980s nuclear apocalypse seemed somehow extremely likely in a way that is hard to relate if you didn't live through it. It didn't belong to party politics at all.

The NDP went from that base to became a front for the pro-soviet communist party while the cold war was still very much on, thus completely undermining its original purpose and relegating it to useless and disillusioning its founders including Garret. If you were tasked with trying to destroy it as a political force given they had a fair amount of support you couldn't have done it more effectively.

Seems advertising a protest in favour of journalistic freedom then flipping it to be about a bunch of other unadvertised issues and bundling it up in a petition is /exactly/ what I'm talking about. Assange's PR skills suck but I somehow doubt they suck that badly given how scared he evidently has been about what he is still facing. Being persecution by the USA in a supermax prison.

I contacted and spoke at length with the Austrian Kosumantenschutz. https://www.arbeiterkammer.at/beratung/konsumentenschutz/ind...

> Wow, a lot of comments. What Fullstaq Ruby is doing is difficult to add into mainline, so my overall impression is I'm thankful someone's going to the trouble of doing it themselves.

> It's not quite right to say that on Linux with jemalloc it uses less memory. In reality, it would be more correct to say that using a super-old version of jemalloc that for some reason used less memory leads to reduced memory usage (for unknown reasons). So it can't go into mainline.

> That said, I can understand that some people are just happy to see reduced memory usage, so if those people want to keep using the super-old version of jemalloc with reduced memory usage, I have no objection. Go for it, is my feeling.
TLA+ Community Event and Conference
Looked at the screenshots of the Android app and from the looks of it it's just another React native app that looks completely non-native and weird. Hamburger menu, three dot menu, tabs that look like iOS and then there's this odd checkmark in the upper right corner. No traces of material design, no floating action button, icons that would fit a quiz game. I'm not going to use this.

Also: Why would I want another tool to keep track of tasks? I can assign tasks via $issuetracker, Google Docs, gtmhub and probably a couple of other tools my employer is using.

I'll see how far a Google Doc per direct report will carry me.

Most plans to charge manufacturers for e-waste seem to be at the point of original sale (where money is already changing hands). In such a scenario, Samsung probably doesn't get any credit for "making the same amount of e-waste in the long run, just slightly later after the sale for a subset of the devices sold".

The way to produce less e-waste is to sell fewer units. That comes with an obvious problem for Samsung.

I'm mostly confident in the COVID vaccines <- Is this "mostly" qualifier not the dangerous front end of misinformation and vaccine hesitancy?
I'm actually kind of flabbergasted that people -no matter who they are- are automatically given the benefit of the doubt, without question.

I'll bet that a lot of folks just assume that anything they do will be taken at face value, without question or inspection. I also suspect that many "brought and paid for studies" are done this way.

For my own work, I generally assume that most of these studies are pretty much worthless, and tend to do some of my own homework before accepting them. Since most don't concern me at all; it's not a big deal.

Health is just one place this kind of thing happens. Software Development is absolutely rife with bad implementations. I am not in AI, but I have heard from a number of people that AI has a big problem with irreproducible results.

Ironically this is why I got a Nvidia shield instead of an Apple TV; so I could sideload an alternative YouTube player that has ad blocking. Luckily the same process can be used to get a new launcher too, but the whole thing is turning into such a faff
It isn't just spending the money.

I installed a adblocker that stops commercials on youtube and sponsorblock, which skips the sponsored segments and everything becomes so much calmer. Like I can focus on whatever the video is about, but there is also just less stress - and yes I normally skip over both segments but even that isn't close to the same.

Of course we should remember that things sponsored by ads aren't free, we are expected to pay for the product advertised, the cost of the marketing campaign on both sides and it destroys the quality of the product. So in reality the ads are much more expensive.
> Apple is seems almost as bad too.

This is a frankly ridiculous comparison.

> Then there is the fact that you basically make every insertion 3x as costly. You better have a good reason to need this given the additional complexity and caveats.

> As for the original interview question, there are systems where an occasional longer pause is not OK.

As you say, it's a tradeoff between worst-case operation cost and average operation cost: If you allow any worst-case operation cost, you can get really efficient on average. If you want really efficient worst-case operation cost, you can't get it down to exactly the average operation cost you could've otherwise gotten.

I wouldn't be surprised if this tradeoff is inherent to many de-amortization problems. But since the difference between the amortized and de-amortized solution is usually only a constant factor (as it is in this case), you have to be very specific about the model of computation if you want to prove anything mathematically.
Bouba/Kiki are onomatopoeia for the sounds objects of those shapes are liable to make if you drop them or otherwise physically interact with them. Bouba is probably soft/flexible and Kiki is probably hard/rigid.

Unfortunately, you yourself are assuming that the actors in charge of holding people are accountable are themselves trustworthy.

I feel we are approaching a singularity of low trust between people. It's only getting worse. You can't trust the watchers (journals) and you can trust the watchers' watchers (governments and the law). You can only trust yourself at the end of the day.
I find solarpunk really interesting. On one hand, it's the most "fresh" aesthetic of futurism we've seen since cyberpunk. On the other hand, most of this architecture isn't environmentally sustainable at all -- the massive amounts of water and energy it takes to keep trees alive on a rooftop is antithetical to an "eco city".

The artists appear to be inspired by fad concept renderings for sky-garden towers that were never built:

The trouble I've found with JIT learning and project driven learning is that it doesn't cover things I don't know I don't know. Often, there's more than one way to solve a problem so I'll solve it with what I already know how to do, meanwhile there's actually a simpler and more efficient solution that I would know if I'd used traditional learning resources ahead of time.
You have to also revert the play services app and then disable it, in addition to reverting the launcher app.

I've got some other apks disabled as well, but I think these two are the critical ones.

Your idea of what is punk sounds like the mass-marketing by malcolm mclaren. Consider a band like the Buzzcocks, all around friendly looking blokes but they pressed up their own 7" singles, that is the true spirit of punk.

One example with model-based RL is "World Models" by Ha and Schmidhuber. They pre-train an autoencoder to reduce image observations to vectors, then pre-train a RNN to predict future reduced vectors, then use a parameter-space global optimization algorithm (but any RL algorithm would work) to train a policy that's linear in the concatenated observation vector and RNN hidden state.

The important thing here is that the image encoder and the RNN weren't trained end-to-end with the policy. The learned "features" captured enough information to be an effective policy input, even though they only needed to be useful for predicting future states.

It's also interesting that the image encoder was trained separately from the RNN. I think that only worked because the test environments were "almost" fully observable - there is world state that cannot be inferred from a single image observation, but knowing that state is not necessary for a good policy.
Essentially, Apple blocked it until they needed it to promote their services in more channels.
That's right. I couldn't stream very well from my RPi3, but I can easily play local 1080p videos. We've actually got it hooked up to an old tube TV, so I get 480p when I can.
I'm using XM4s and have never done anything to change whatever their own default behavior is. And this doesn't happen on any other device except the Macbook.

I guess it's worth looking into to see if there is some outside of the OS way to force the OS to route requests to the application I already have opened and foregrounded that plays sound, but I would expect that to be the default behavior. What is a "play" request to music.app even supposed to do when I have never intentionally opened the app and don't have a playlist set up? It doesn't actually play anything since there is nothing to play. It just opens the app and takes over my screen.
Comes up on which media? Very often mainstream media like hollywood or video game industry love to coopt the aesthetic of a movement and water down its message.

People often complain that the idea of cyberpunk is being turned from a protest against a dystopian future to a bland scifi style with fog and neon lights.

Instead, The Dispossessed by Ursula K. Le Guin is an excellent example of solarpunk.
"And I remember coming to England and giving an interview saying, ‘Hey, this is what’s going to happen.’ And the interview that was published was, this stupid actor thinks there’s going to be these terrible things. I remember resenting it. Because I’m an actor, can’t I have an opinion?"
You can be sued by anyone, for anything, at any time.

Look, we can either make sacrifices for the environment, or we can come up with special reasons why this particular sacrifice is too inconvenient.
