I choose the chaotic option of sorting by the score:

3 * gold + 2 * silver + bronze

Sorting by gold feels as incorrect to me as sorting by total medals. Sure, a bronze isn't as good as a gold, but sorting by gold is silver/bronze erasure.
This sentence raises questions for me:

> Allen came to see businesspeople as natural allies who could act on his public health findings faster than government officials.

When I see a cliched narrative or meme, I suspect it that's its only basis - reality doesn't match the memes so neatly - and also this one benefits their busines partners. Also, why aren't public health officials acting? When I see someone say they are too slow, IME it's usually because their claims aren't sufficiently substantiated. Accelerating approval and reducing government oversight hasn't had great results.
The same reason any gilded idol has "value" -- it captures the minds of men.

> The message, I'm pretty sure, wasn't that it was that kind of garden

It doesn't matter what kind it was, garden metaphor implies human control over a certain boundary.

And in this context (both from OP and the linked article) the control is specifically about preventing mega-fires through controlled fires. Prairies and uncontrolled fires are irrelevant.

There is little reason to question this technique was being applied locally with some success, but there is no evidence that this could be to an extent that made California their garden, in any meaning of the word you want to imagine.

If anything, I don't think the historical population vs landmass numbers can match up, hence my original objection. Disappointingly, only counter-arguments so far has been finessing over the definition of "garden" instead of working on the manpower and efficacy questions.
Fair enough. Though I don’t agree that discussing or mentioning a competitor is changing the subject, especially when that competitor addresses some of the issues originally mentioned.

It's not, but I can see why the "Graffiti sunset" would make you think that. It does seem to be two different images combined.

I won't claim to have a good knowledge of the inner workings, but basically CLIP will give a score for how well the image matches your prompt, and that's used as a loss function for the GAN.

On the Colab notebooks you can specify multiple prompts with different weights, in which case I assume it has multiple loss functions that it's trying to optimise for.

Yes, but if the proposal is "everyone takes ivermectin and they get the vaccine when vaccines are available locally," that's strictly more profitable for pharma companies than "everyone gets the vaccine when vaccines are available." There's no reason for Big Pharma to suppress that, if it worked.

(Speaking of vitamin D, I personally did exactly that with vitamin D + vaccine. My doctor told me a few years back I was low on vitamin D and should supplement anyway, and the vague evidence that it maybe helps against covid was enough for me to decide to take it regularly at a high dose, because there aren't really any downsides besides getting through my bottle faster. But I also got the vaccine!)

I dont think it filters anything - it just provides the dust a place to lay down until something knocks it up into the air. It would have to have some mechanism for getting the dust to the other side to act as a filter, and then you'd still have to clean/dispose of it somehow.

These vulnerabilities are all from badly-written HTTP/2 → HTTP/1.1 translations. Most of them come from simple carelessness, rookie errors that should never have been made, dumping untrusted bytes from an HTTP/2 value into the HTTP/1.1 byte stream. This is security 101, straightforward injection attacks with absolutely nothing HTTP-specific in it.

Some of them are a little more complex, requiring actual HTTP/2 and HTTP/1.1 knowledge (largely meaning HTTP/2 framing and the content-length and transfer-encoding headers), but not most of them.

Is HTTP/2 actually worse? Not in the slightest; HTTP/1.1 is the problem here. This is growing pains from compatibility measures as part of removing the problems of an unstructured text protocol. If you have a pure-HTTP/2 system and don’t ever do the downgrade, you’re in a better position.
I was hoping for a C API specifically to use LOVE with a statically typed language, but because C++'s ABI is unstable writing a C wrapper is about the only way for the engine to be bound to other programming languages besides Lua. Also everything needed to quickly make a game is already included in LOVE provided the correct libraries are available in the system, so it's quite convenient.

But raylib sounds pretty simple to use if you want a library-driven approach, and the WASM support is interesting. There was at one point a project that ported LOVE to asm.js but it's since went unmaintained. I was actually able to run one of my >100MB projects on it, but it was pretty unstable and I soon ran into asset size limitations.
I’ve bought air filters and detectors to protect against wildfire smoke. “Just open the window” is actually pretty good advice in most (non-wildfire) times. My indoor air quality improves sharply as soon as let in an outdoor breeze.

Thank you for the purely informational post and I'm currently reading through the second just to understand this more thoroughly but I can say already screw the proofs. Apple needs to stay off my devices with their crime scanning bs. It doesn't matter if this whole scheme ensures that Apple cryptographically keeps their hands clean. The effect is the same.

Please, no Moore: 'Law' that defined how chips have been made is ending
Pro tip for other readers: often enough, the smaller box that usually has a higher cost/oz will be on sale making it a better deal than a larger/bulk size which isn’t. Reasons for not making both on sale unclear, but I see it all the time.

What I hate is when I'm shopping on Amazon and it's one for $5, or get a pack of fifty for $7. There's no way I'm ever going to buy the one at such a price disparity, so I end up with a house full of 48 unused items.
A lot of people like to use "fabric softeners" that are heavily fragranced, and they also like to purchase plug-in oil wick "air fresheners" that soak into every porous surface as well as your lungs. This is in addition to the regular stuff. So it's not just VOCs anymore, but also HAPs--hazardous air pollutants.

Example, those clip-in auto air vent air fresheners that people buy for their cars. Spend 20 minutes in that person's car, notice how the next day your clothing still smells strongly of the oil-based air freshener. You were also inhaling that. And this is somehow perfectly fine?
It's not a sure thing. The other common way to raise prices without raising the per-item price is to use more of a low-cost input and less of a high-cost input. For a fictional example, if Croesus circulated electrum (mixed gold/silver) coins as the internal currency of Lydia, and increasing trade with China then spiked the value of silver, you'd expect to see new coins use more gold and less silver while maintaining the same face value.

> Prices are not set based on costs.

In a competitive market, prices follow costs. Businesses that raise price above cost lose business to businesses that do not. And obviously businesses that price below cost fail. Margins might vary per-item because of market dynamics. But ultimately this is what is going on. This is Economics 101. If you want to claim otherwise, I think you need some extraordinary evidence here.

Whether you want to say that means prices are "set" on costs or not is semantics.

> There is no voting against what doesn't exist.

In a competitive market, what doesn't exist doesn't exist because it's not economically viable. It's not economically viable because the market doesn't want it. If you think otherwise, then maybe you should start up a business that does this - since according to you, you'll make a killing.
Sounds like "cunny" = "cunt".

Responding to your edit:

> EDIT: Thanks, all who responded. I wouldn't have made the connection although I am quite familiar with the 'vulgar' word in question. The phonetic similarity sounds farfetched to me, one ends with a hard consonant, the other with a vowel sound.

It's not that "coney" sounds like "cunt". It doesn't. It's that it sounds like "cunny", which is a diminutive form of "cunt". Just like "Annie" is a diminutive form of "Anne", or "kitty" is a diminutive form of "cat".
Female genitalia, along the lines of Shakespeare's "Country matters".
They kinda measure it, through heuristics. But it's like the heuristics for the price of a house (which is considered an investment and not included directly in CPI): you can't capture it very well.

For example, lets say a chocolate bar contains 80% chocolate and 20% food wax. A year later it contains 70% chocolate and 30% food wax. No inflation measure in the world accurately measures that. You can't measure for it because there's too many judgement calls if you do.

Also, there are goods/services whose quantities are not well measured. Another commenter wrote about his soccer league lowering the amount of pitch time a "session" takes while increasing the players - both diminishing his play time. That's not getting captured at all.
To be clear, inflation is not a function of money printing. For example, under metallic standards (so no money printing), countries would experience inflation or deflation as a result of trade imbalances (because a trade deficit leads to a net outflow of precious metals, and vice-versa).
Electric cars don't solve the problem of particulate matter, in fact if you buy an electric truck, it may make the problem worse because of the weight (wear on the tires is one of the biggest sources of particulate emissions).
Having attempted this myself, the answer is "a lot of work." Even with the classes and bindings separated, there is still a lot of C++ code used in the binding layer, and some of the C++ code is tightly coupled to Lua data structures. If a transition to a C API were to be made, that C++ code has to be put behind a corresponding C wrapper, so basically opaque pointer types to all those classes and functions/methods have to be wrapped to fully support using LOVE as a standalone library.

I still think that a C API would be a better option than trying to fork the project to replace Lua with Squirrel or some other language, so that at least others can have a chance to write bindings for their favorite languages without having to do all the porting work again.

Nah, he’s more of a hobbyist in AI. I don’t necessarily think you need to be explicitly in academia to produce good academic work (independent researchers do exist), but he hasn’t really produce anything (in terms of actual theoretical/experimental results) that could be regarded as a substantial contribution to the field. He’s made some anime datasets though, maybe it could be useful to some.

The article didn't say that these age differences were adjustable defaults, so I would presume not. If Apple put in these restrictions to protect the privacy of older children, making it adjustable would defeat the point.

(And by the way, I respect Apple's desire to protect children's privacy from their parents, but forcing the change at 13, for everyone, seems awfully prescriptive. It's fundamentally a parenting decision, and Apple should not be making parenting decisions.)

But if this can in fact be controlled by the parent regardless of the child's age, that does resolve the problem!

For correctness, I must note that if you’re using the usual static-size data types like floating- or fixed-point numbers, deltas take up roughly the same amount of space unless you impose speed limits, which allow you to get a bit cleverer about the space consumed, though it’s still complicated by the world being a sphere rather than flat.

Notwithstanding that, when you get to compression, delta encoding does make it losslessly compress a bit better, though not as much as you might think, especially with the better compression algorithms. I simulated some stuff for this last year, but didn’t keep the answers I came up with. My extremely vague notion is that zip or gzip got something like a 10% improvement, but LZMA only saved another 1–2%. Don’t trust my numbers, though. And yeah, if you’re caring about this stuff you can do way better by a more deliberate encoding.
I'm pretty sure it is.

They also apparently still haven't figured out that they have a bad setting in their tunables (that macOS does not do) which disables the SError reports when I/O writes are using the wrong type. They definitely don't get "silently" ignored if you don't turn off the error reports :-)

But this presentation finally answers the question of why Corellium did this. It wasn't a fun side project or a way to contribute to the community. Their Linux port is a validation platform for their emulation/VM product. Now it makes perfect sense. Releasing it and claiming they were going to upstream it was a PR stunt; they haven't updated their repo since February and didn't reply to any of the upstreaming mailing list threads they were CCed on. I'm pretty sure they don't have any actual interest in collaborating with anyone or upstreaming anything. To them, this is a platform validation tool for their commercial product, and it only has to work once, not be maintainable or upstreamable. They have no business reason to spend time on that.

Apple have done the same, by the way. They have internal Linux ports to their SoCs that they use for silicon validation.

I've been shopping on Instacart a lot during the pandemic and I've noticed a related phenomenon: packaging designed to make products look bigger than they really are, especially in online photos. It's not necessarily a new thing, but the online photo aspect is somewhat novel because you don't get to see the product in context.

For example, a jar of Jalapenos, product photo: https://i.imgur.com/mprWr6R.jpg

In reality, the jar's cross-section isn't circular as it appears, it's an ellipse/oval: https://i.imgur.com/dXDUOR9.png

Only the first photo was included in the item listing. When the groceries were delivered and I pulled out the jar, I was so surprised by the odd football-like shape that I couldn’t stop laughing for a few minutes at how well they’d fooled me.

Another common thing to see is familiar product packaging that is just “scaled down”. Everything about the packaging looks the same or very similar, but smaller - especially fonts. This deceives the eye into believing the product is much larger. I recently fell for this when shopping for some conditioner. The packaging is not exactly the same but close enough to fool me at a glance:

What I bought: https://i.imgur.com/MdAuhS0.png

What I expected: https://i.imgur.com/MGxdD0d.png

I'm inclined the believe this is on purpose because in real life, the fonts are way too small to read comfortably. If not trying to mislead, I would expect the packaging to be designed to be legible, right?

It's especially frustrating because I usually would've just paid more for the larger size.

What do you mean by Snowden's post? He didn't make a post. He handed over classified material to journalists, who made decisions about what was in the public interest to publish in their newspapers.

Maybe in the years since he's written a blog or an article in the news (he's given a number of speeches or attended events), but that wasn't how he blew the whistle to the public on the fact that the NSA was wiretapping the entire Internet, including the communication of ordinary Americans.

I don't quite buy the validity of this narrative as far as things stand today. I see what you mean but currently there is a powerful media presence in the west that favors what could best be called anti-conservative causes. There are also numerous powerful, wealthy people, corporations and institutions with progressive tendencies in their leadership or mentality who donate large amounts to grassroots and other organizations that share these tendencies. They too are all working to retain or accumulate power.

This is all perfectly fine, and good even but let's not keep painting them as some kinds of underdogs against the big bad conservative shady finance plutocrats.

The numbers don't even bear that out. In both ases, there is scheming in that someone with an agenda wants to promote that agenda by using their wealth to prop up those will help them support their posture. It's disingenuous to consider it relatively altruistic for the left but immediately a sign of trying to retain power when it happens with the other ideological tendency.
This is a legitimate concern. What we do is monitor the outdoor air quality, open the windows when it's good, close them when it's bad, and skip the air filters inside unless indoor air quality is measured to be bad. Which only happens during wildfires as our house is modern and pretty well sealed.

Once our children are past the age of 10 or so we will probably go back to running air filters all the time. But the early years are crucial for immune system development and lack of exposure to the natural environment in early years is likely to be one of the biggest reasons for the rise in allergic diseases.

Oh, and stop using gas appliances indoors.
