Yes but since VR seems to move towards standalone headsets there might be more potential in doing the heavy lifting off the device and deliver it half baked? Then the device can do the latency sensitive work?

> AP (and, presumably, IB) are being maintained

These are not accessible to all students.

It depends on which catchment zone you live in, and even the schools that offer AP don't offer the same AP courses. Last I checked one offered 2 AP courses and another offered 11, so there is huge variance between the schools offering AP. These are public schools, not private schools. There are private schools that also offer AP and IB. The IB private schools cost as much in tuition for one year of high school (IB senior years is a two year program) as a Canadian university does for the 4 year degree. Some of these private schools will teach second or third year university courses to advanced high school students.

The BC math courses are offered at different levels, but even the top level math is not for students who want to move ahead or be challenged. The top level math is the bare minimum to get into a Canadian university. Some schools offer calculus 12 and many other schools don't offer it at all. I guess that's "honors" math.

The "honors" math program that has been eliminated is a program that condensed the regular curriculum. I am so confused as to how that is inequitable, but AP (which has exam costs) and IB are allowed to stay.

In some Surrey schools there are programs to allow students to spend their last year doing a trades foundation program. This isn't evenly distributed either, but is a great way to allow students to start their careers. My brothers are both in the trades, but their friends at other schools spent grade 12 in a foundation program and saved 6k in tuition.

There is even a possibility to take summer courses and spend some of your last year taking college courses or university courses in the right districts. This is for Vancouver and Burnaby students that are close to UBC and SFU, but this isn't advertised or evenly available.

My point and rant about these is that it'll be a matter of time before all of these opportunities are also taken away. If they stay, I'll be pleasantly surprised and gladly admit I'm wrong.
To me this just validates that crypto has gone beyond the too big too fail threshold. Bitmex will pay fines similar to a slap on the wrist that any wall street firm has paid for bad behavior. Make a few billion doing grey area things, pay a tiny % extortion to regulators.
Test Your Tests
Without the trick you get:

Coffee concentration before first,second,third,fourth drinking = 1,x,y,z
x = 1/2
y = x*2/3 + 0*1/3 = 1/3
z = y*5/6 + 0*1/6 = 5/18

Coffee drunk = 1/2 + 1/3 x + 1/6 y + z
= 1/2 + 1/6 + 1/18 + 5/18
= 3/6 + 1/6 + 2/6
= 1
Milk drunk = 0 + 1/3(1-x) + 1/6(1-y) + (1-z)
= 1/6 + 2/18 + 13/18
= 1/6 + 5/6
= 1

Which is a bit fiddly but hardly impossible. I think there is pedagogical value in doing the algebra accurately and I think it is annoying enough that the trick seems useful and memorable when it is pointed out. The trick is also quite broadly applicable to physics problems where there is conservation of some quantity.

> With an e-bike, 2 miles is nothing

I have friends who only travel by e-bike. The maximum distance they will go is about eight miles, but they average about six miles a day in hot weather. Their batteries are removable so they can go something like 40-50 miles a day if they needed it. My point is that they don't travel very far in their respective communities.
So what does that do in the context of this conversation about Apple and iCloud?

Thanks for the reply. I'm (hopefully understandably) pretty skeptical of anything google puts their name on nowadays.

That said, my speculations were about Google's intentions (not sigstore's) and if you think they are "completely untrue" then you are being misled and should potentially reevaluate the entire project.

Banning anonymous and pseudonymous contributors and requiring real names be provided to a trusted party is an explicitly stated goal of Google's[1] and one of the reasons they contribute to the sigstore project in the first place[2]. If I was going to try to make that happen, sigstore is a great way to lay down the infrastructure to implement something like that at a later point.

Additionally, anything that will centralize FOSS development (as being a root signing key for software would do) is probably not in it's best interests long term, because at that point the difference between a good and bad actor is a matter of policy and not a technical question.

I believe that you have the best of intentions, but others involved in the project clearly don't.

> Why does language understand have to be analogous to training an ML model rather than using an ML model for inference?

Why would you look at ML model inferences in particular? There is no compression or decompression going on during inferences, you're just running data through the existing weights.

Creating an ML model on the other hand is lossy compression. You reduce the size of the data (Training set -> model) in exchange for reduced accuracy (100% -> 90-95% or whatever).

NLU is decompression because you are extracting information that doesn't exist in the text.

I see ML as ahead-of-time compression (Creating a model), whereas NLU is just-in-time decompression (Extracting information from current context). Looking specifically at inference-time doesn't make sense to me because all the work for ML is done during training, not inference.
No argument..bro.

Still, last time they called it a bug and rolled back the chain.
Only mostly so. It's latency sensitive in that your eye and head movements need very fast responses to avoid nausea in lots of people and produce a good experience. It's not latency sensitive in that a video stream needs to react to you at 90-120hz kinds of speeds. As long as the position and rotation of the video reacts and moves with the rest of the environment, the application itself won't need to respond any quicker than it already does outside vr.

Now I think you're thinking of running the vr application that's doing all the rendering remotely and strraming thst to the headset, it would definitely run into issues because of the latency.

You can have your kids take summer courses to finish the regular curriculum early. In some cases they can then be allowed to start taking courses at UBC or SFU. It was mentioned in my Surrey school over a decade ago that there were kids in Vancouver and Burnaby doing that. I think it's a nominal fee to register in the courses while in high school. Something to explore if you're still looking at Vancouver.

If you have to interact with a system that's so poorly designed that you need an adapter to make sense of it, then sure, use an adapter.

The thing is, the more you use an ORM, the less and less thought you put into designing your database to have a sensible interface of its own, so of course your database isn't going to have a sensible interface. Probably not as horrific as what you're describing, but as much as an ORM can solve that kind of problem, it can also perpetuate it. I'm almost terrified to ask how your DB schema got that fucked, but I'm going to guess it's because it's very tightly coupled to that giant legacy internal application and no one thought to take it seriously as its own service component with a consciously designed interface.
> I am just another guy trying to make a buck like everyone else on this planet.

What? Most people aren't trying to make a quick buck by rent-seeking in a system based on massive electrical waste.

Myself? I cut my work hours recently so that I can live now instead of dreaming of someday. I spend my free time enjoying my life, not trying to figure out who to exploit.

That's also an option.
Can someone interpret what this means?
It depends on how retention interacts with other variables. I would argue that you can make exponential gains in things like product quality over the long term by retaining a critical mass of experienced personnel, which translates to higher earnings etc. But yes if you view personnel costs as a line item in isolation and on a quarterly basis, you might not see those effects.
The author of the articles makes a claim that instead of making what is generally great money renting to people who pay and stay over time landlords are purposely renting to folks who don't pay, and then must be taken through the eviction process, so that they can maybe skim something off an inflated repair bill?

So evictions are actually because landlords like evictions rather than getting paid and making money while doing very little work?

Does this logic track for anyone?
Oak [0] is the go-to web framework in Deno ecosystem, it has Koa-like API. There's also Opine [1], Drash [2] and some other that are also highly spoken of by folks at the Discord.

> 1) These routers all have secured passwords that are non-default.

Who said secure password? Yes, they are not the default, but people are terrible at choosing password, most will choose weak password that are easy to exploit with a dictionary attack.

> 2) These routers were deliberately placed on the internet by people that knew enough about them to do so.

A people that know what it's doing would never expose a router web interface on the internet. Most people doesn't know how to configure his router, and let the ISP technician configure it, and they probably expose the router interface so they can access it remotely for maintenance, but it's not a great idea...

> There are legit reasons to place a router on the internet, so long as it's secured properly...

There aren't. Also you can choose a secure password, but these router interfaces are full of bugs, and highly exploitable. Add to this the fact that the manufacturer rarely updates the firmware of these devices...

> how else would you remotely manage a router at a different physical location, for instance.

With a VPN? By creating an SSH tunnel to one machine inside the local network? By connecting remotely (via RDP, VNC, TeamViewr, whatever) to one PC inside the local network? There are a ton of better solutions.

Also if you don't have a static public IP address, as it's in most situations nowadays, how do you access it remotely anyway? With dynamic DNS but it's not reliable. The best solution to me is using a VPN (I can connect to my home network from anywhere in the world and access all the hosts, including router and other networking equipment of course).

It’s almost like we never need to do it: just send seeds of life out into space: if we send people we can never hear from them again anyway. We can’t get the information back. So it’s mostly a hedonic exercise: a one way adventure holiday for the crew.
I thought Corona would have given it more of a boost than it has. I did a big trial at work with VR meeting software (3 different ones) this year and it was surprisingly great. It really felt like meeting people, much more so than regular cam meetings.

The problem is convincing people. One cannot be told what VR is, one has to experience it for themself. But Google cardboard has given it a bad name. I often hear 'Yeah already tried that, those rollercoaster videos. Meh.'. People equate that to real 6dof VR with hand tracking when it's in fact a difference of night and day.

Nevertheless Facebook is doing good work with the Quest 2. It really made high quality standalone VR accessible.

As for when it'll be early mainstream.. I guess in a year or 2.

I was considering self hosting at home. If the local network should be disconnected IMHO only a DMZ will help. My router doesn't support that so the setup will be:

ISP router (with disabled wlan) <-> firewall <- home router (with wlan)

and the firewall can then separate the network by port. WAN for the firewall is the LAN Port of my ISP router.

Is that a good setup?

You're an in an extremely risky market, from both a regulation perspective (they might shut you down/you might lose a lot), and from a perspective of all the scams and lack of transparency exists in crypto.

You can either try to become political, or move on to less risky markets. If you're just here to make money, move on and try something that doesn't carry this insane regulatory risk.

10 Gigatonnes a year at a stable rate with an initial large bonus amount for the first decade or so. More if you bury more than the core logs. Burial isn't as bad as needing old mineshafts either, a small, deep pit something like 25m square is enough to bury 1km square of logged materials.

There are still issues with this proposal such as the potential for land degradation and biodiversity loss but good potential for mitigating these things as well. The main sells to me are that a) all the tech to get started today exist and are widely deployed and b) it results in carbon being re-interred in a fairly direct reversal of what we've been doing to dig it out.

I did mention that and said it was a stretch to assume. The exercise is nonetheless useful, I think, just to get a base idea of what numbers would have to be IF markets were working normally.

It's also probably a maximum on net new money entering the market with stable prices, come to think of it. Though I'm inclined to agree with your view that actually the markets are net negative, being held aloft by Tether/exchanges, and will be vulnerable to a swift collapse when the money runs out.

I'm just not sure $100 million is the amount to do it.
> one uses dissolved co2 and low protein wheat and the other high protein wheat. One also goes through a fermentation process while the other does not. Salt content also varies

You've misread the Wikipedia page.

What you're describing is Dauglish's process that preceded CBP. Here's the key bit from the introduction:

> In 1862 a radically new and much cheaper industrial-scale process was developed by John Dauglish, using water with dissolved carbon dioxide instead of yeast, with no need for an eight-hour fermentation. Dauglish's method, used by the Aerated Bread Company that he set up, dominated commercial bread baking for a century until the Chorleywood process was developed.

Notice that last part of the sentence.

CBP, as described in the Wikipedia article, "is achieved through the addition of Vitamin C, fat, yeast, and intense mechanical working by high-speed mixers".

In particular, no CO2 is used with CBP. Bread is proofed by "[placing the dough] in a baking tin and [moving it] to the humidity- and temperature-controlled proofing chamber, where it sits for about 45–50 minutes", with the process aided through the use of dough conditioners like ascorbic acid.
If the tooling you're describing outputs JS sources there's nothing preventing you from using it. Currently there's no way to hook them up directly into Deno, so you'd have to resort to separate build step (via some kind of script, I presume this is just a matter of calling appropriate binary).

If those tools help you write better code and you prefer to code in Ocaml/F# then it definitely makes sense, but of course this is personal preference.
