The YouTube channel 3Blue1Brown has an "Essence of Linear Algebra" series that I found helpful (along with an Essence of Calculus series and videos on other tricky subjects such as differential equations and Fourier transforms). I found that the visual approach of the videos helped make the concepts more intuitive.
Capitalism is global so organizing must be as well. Workers must organize at their company, sectorally across the industry, and internationally with other workers so the capitalists have no where to run.
nah. you’ll be fine and get an exemption. Taking the vaccine usually goes like this: risk if you take it <<< risk if you don’t take it. I’m gonna bet you real money that if you actually tried getting it you would get screened out based on the questionnaire you fill our before the vaccine.

Autostereoscopic can be multiview. I’ve worked with 9 and 25 viewpoints, (on which you could also add eye tracking) without anything tracking, you could move left and right and still get some volume effect. Its repeating and somewhat limited but basically its the same thing here. More viewpoints, less resolution, better angular projection.
i don't know about that. i've always used leased gigabit connections for my email. this article is about Hetzner specifically, which I've leased tons of servers and additional IPs from. AFAIK you don't know the IP you'll be getting until you pay for it unless things have changed recently.

Not wrong, it's actually the only part of the article that's correct. The entire adtech industry has seen a race to the bottom due to 3rd-party cookies and audience-based buying of highly-targeted impressions. Things like retargeting and data leakage are endemic problems and basically the entire reason trade groups like DNC exist.

These "high paying" advertisers don't exist. Campaigns aren't sold or activated like that. There are brand safety and inventory quality issues but "prestige and association" is not as important as you might think, and all media agencies have been focused on backing into the lowest CPM for the last decade.

It's finally being (forcefully) solved through cookie blocking and privacy regulation leading to the rise of first-party data again, however that makes walled gardens like Facebook and Google stronger too at the same time which brings a whole new set of problems.
Prions do not mutate like living organisms. They can still be infectious, but often they require invasive vectors like blood transfusions or consumption of tainted meat.
This is what people don't seem to understand. NIMBYism is vilified as the cause of all evils, when in reality there's a limit to how many people can be housed. Imagine suggesting that the reason people in Beijing or Seoul or Delhi don't have 1 acre lots and 3-bedroom houses is because of NIMBYism. At a certain point, owning a house in certain cities is simply not a reality anymore. Whether it's through sheer population size or sheer population wealth, NYC, LA, etc will never be a small town again. Fighting NIMBYism will just turn them from dense cities into Judge Dredd-like hives, as you said. But hey, I want a nice big property with a nice big house out in the country, so I'm not complaining if everybody insists on renting little shoeboxes in the big cities.

> Now ask yourself, in your non-biased random world, which produces 75% brown eyes and 25% blue eyes, how some countries have nearly 90% blue eyes or over 50% blue eyes? Your logic proves that in the real world, there was a bias.

I never said there was no bias. Why do you spend so long arguing against things I didn't say?

> For fun, put your two browned eyed people with recessive blue eyed genes with 98 other people without any blue eye recessive genes. And see how things work out without any bias. Randomly breed that population without bias and see how things turn out.

Lack of insight to varying degrees is a well-known feature, but not always the case.

Having insight doesn't imply at all a lack of symptoms. It's possible to be aware, but not be able to correct errors in real time.

Someone with paranoia is highly sensitive to coincidences, and may have great difficulty blocking out elaborate theories regarding them which seem to spontaneously arise, as well as an intense fear reaction to the possibilities.

Some people can suppress that sort of thing fairly well. The problem is, that's not a solution to impairment, because suppressing patterns will suppress the ones that normal people consider important as well, sometimes.

I've been drug tested for corporate programming jobs before. I wouldn't say it's the norm in our industry though and this may be even less common now, IDK.

But I do feel like there's a distinction between a urine test and a vaccine, since it's impossible to have a negative reaction to a piss test.

As a fully vaccinated individual, I still dislike the idea of having to disclose this fact. Not for any logical reason I can personally attribute, but just because I'm used to not wanting to discuss my personal medical history in a professional setting. Perhaps this is actually worth changing, given how fucked up our medical system is here (USA). Just because something is new doesn't make it bad. What worries me though is backlash for the tiny fraction of population that actually can't take the vaccine for whatever reason.

This line of reasoning falls apart pretty quickly after this point, since if you look for it, you can come up with whatever reasons you want for fearing the vaccine and therefor not taking it. At the end of the day you just need to trust that some things work as designed and that you are probably stronger than you think you are.

Sorry I ended up going off on a tangent here.
That may be true, but your quote is from 1947.
My wife has been getting into local politics here in California, and it has been really disheartening to see how thin the 'progressive' layer is for so many people here.

This is an idealistic and unrealistic viewpoint. In feudal ages, basically nobody could afford housing. You basically had to sell yourself to even get housing. Then people in the US got housing. Now the US and other rich countries are becoming dominated by the upper classes. Which means people who want a different life have to leave for somewhere else, like colonists did in coming to the US centuries ago and like countless immigrants do in coming the US today. Land and housing is cheap in places like eastern Europe.
Hmm, thanks for doing the math!

I don’t think that is that far off the boundaries of typical GA airports, and for those that are smaller they are almost always in the middle of nowhere with no inhabitants around them.

One of the more concerning types of GA airports is something like Reid-Hillview, which is surrounded on all sides by residences - and even has an elementary school right on it’s border. It’s 750mx1200m - and a lot of it’s pattern is going to be over a much, much wider area. Altitude wise, it’s going to be between 1-4 thousand feet most of the time too.

So it’s almost certainly going to be diluted well below that level, even if there is zero air movement, which there always is? It will be spread over a wider area of course, but if concentration is the concern, you’d probably only have higher amounts somewhere like the flight line?

I suspect it's also, in stark reality, not that many employees that would actually leave. Many people are willing to signal virtual. How many are actually willing to sacrifice? The article lists 3000 "current and former" employees. Let's assume 1000 are current and 20% are willing to leave. Blizzard losing 200/9500 of their workforce isn't that significant. Even if all 1000 would leave, that still is within bounds of a layoff. DHH's company seems to be doing fine.

I'm sorry, but that seems to be an impossible claim. In fact there are zero cases (edit: two people have come by to cite statistics on all-cause death numbers, which aren't responsive here. PLEASE be careful with your numbers, people, those values include folks who died of car accidents and heroin overdoses, etc...) where the Pfizer or Moderna vaccines are generally believed to have caused death, and 3 (three) deaths in the US from clotting associated with the J&J vaccine. It strains credulity that two of those three were associates of yours, sorry.

In fact IIRC the overall death rate (i.e. just counting how many people died of all causes following vaccine administration) has, in fact (this is hardly surprising given the general pandemic environment) been shown to be significantly lower for the vaccinated.

I don't know what you're citing, but it doesn't track with existing science, sorry.

12 years from 1999 would mean that they adopted the Amiga back in 1986 or 87. That time frame makes a little more sense. The Macintosh wouldn't have been a good choice if you need to interface with custom hardware (the Mac II arrived in 1987 with NuBus expansion slots, but that was brand new).

It's not entirely clear why, say, an IBM AT 286 with multiple ISA slots is less suitable than an Amiga 1000 with 68000 and a single expansion slot.

I guess it depends a lot on personal preference. That would be a very fun job, especially when you get to choose which platform to work with.
> When asked if he would bear arms and perform noncombatant military service as required by the Oath, Huxley answered in the negative and was summoned before a judge. Huxley explained that his objection was based on philosophical convictions about the evil of war rather than religious beliefs.

1) Fair enough, he didn't want to commit to it, so he didn't get the US citizenship. But why did he apply in the first place? Didn't read the fine print or wanted to make a point? It's not mandatory to become a citizen.

2) If your country is attacked and you're assigned to help medics while bearing a side-arm (which you don't have to use), saying you won't do it because you object to war sounds silly. What will you do, then?
If you want to sit it out in your basement that's fine, but you shouldn't hope to become a citizen.

> Plus, VRChat already exists.

VRChat has so many flaws that you can't make that argument. It needs competition, and badly.

Just offhand I can think of:

* Massive performance issues

* Controversial handling of 3rd party modifications (enforcement was stepped up only to put lipstick on the pig for their Series D, and MelonLoader itself puts faux security on its software in an attempt to make it look like it cares, by curbing obfuscation)

* Poor security (players have been able to legitimately fry the hardware of other players due to GPU exploits)

* Even years after launch, still basic usability issues like status being changed unexpectedly, causing privacy issues

Based on purely anecdotal experience, I think bootcamps aren't necessarily putting out productive entry-level developers. We briefly hired someone as an entry-level web developer who would talk a bit about how he was teaching some web programming classes in the evenings (at the bootcamp he just graduated from). He did not have the knowledge to be to be teaching classes. We had to let him go. We have hired several entry-levels from state schools who have been very successful with us, by comparison.

.it pages are used in Norway too, but I'm not sure it's something GPT-ish that's being used. Whole sentences are copied word for word from other articles.(might be a small dataset it's trained on?)

It could of course be that its something similar to GPT that is trained on all the content it could find and then writes articles, cause it's clearly messing up sometimes, form the small piece of content available at the search results page.

I'm not sure if this is an ML race and the reason we're not seeing the same thing in English is because Google might understands English better than spammers. While in Norwegian and German it's the other way around?

Clearly freshness is a large part of it. Google seems to have indexed millions upon millions of pages tied to this in the last 24 hours.

Thanks for the feedback!

I realize I wasn't actually using Google Photos, so my recommendation of hard drives likely isn't realistic for most people. TIL about Photoprism, I'll look into it.

For Google Drive, an actual solution for a typical use case would be something like Nextcloud (self-hosted or not, doesn't matter). My own use case was only about sharing a single file between two machines, so Syncthing fit the bill perfectly.

Again, thanks for sharing your thoughts :)

From the article:
"Just 20% of Activision Blizzard’s 9,500 employees are women, and leadership at the company, one of the largest video game makers in the world, is largely white and male."

I am 36 years old, white male. I imagine alot of the employees there are within my age range give or take 5-10 years. For me it just makes sense. in the late 90s and early 2000s if you asked me, an obsessed computer gaming white guy nerd teen, what company I would want to work for, it would probably be Blizzard(I was more of an Everquest fan but still). It makes sense those people would want the jobs and there would be mostly those type of people in the spots. I don't understand how this is a bad thing. I consider computer gaming a part of my culture or subculture, and yes there are other people that get into it, lgbt, women, trans, but I feel like this stuff was specifically marketed to young men.
I imagine shopify is more profitable for the amount of traffic it gets, so they can afford to throw more machines at the problem as well.

Shopify does probably have better engineering though. They have an amazing process of 2 code reviewers per PR, and one code reviewer is from another team. They write tests for everything and deploy continuously to production.
I suggest doing both.

In your email, ask that they acknowledge receiving the communication in writing. Until you have their response, you need to keep reminding them, every day.

You need to do email because you need written proof that you noticed it, and did the right thing.

And then call, because it'll be easier to coordinate how you can return the money by phone, and it's hard for them to ignore you on the phone (vs. email). Ask again that they reply to your email ASAP while you're on the phone.

You need to be very, very clear that you only just noticed this, and you're contacting them immediately to rectify the situation, and you need confirmation in writing that (a) you did that, and (b) they know about it.

That way, you've got evidence that you never attempted to steal it. Which, it goes without saying, is really important.
