“Cutting” it is certainly not: none of those sets is given by the zeroes of a continuous function (they would be measurable, and they cannot be).

So the paradox breaks down when you start to realize that you are not CUTTING but “choosing some points” and rearranging them. The fact that this rearrangement can be done with Euclidean moves is the surprise.
A common sense approach but a lot of folks are looking for the easy way, a pill, some magical food or a study that tells them that healthy choices along with normal proportions can be healthy. It takes some discipline and isn't easy to eat clean and take care of yourself. Sadly most folks aren't cut out for it.

> Toshiba’s first big mess was the 2015 accountancy scandal in which it admitted to over-stating revenue by $1.2 billion. Next came a mess at Toshiba’s US-based nuclear power plant business, which went so far over budget on some projects that the company had to sell its NAND flash chip joint venture with Western Digital to raise desperately needed cash. Those two messes saw Toshiba pledge to improve its corporate governance. Ahead of the company’s 2020 annual general meeting, activist investors sought to accelerate that change by proposing the election of new officers untainted by the company’s troubles. That effort failed, and one of the activist investors — Singaporean fund management company Effissimo capital management — smelled a rat. It sought to investigate what it thought were irregularities in the way the meeting was conducted.

> Toshiba’s report from that investigation was released ten days ago, and its findings [PDF] include an explosive account of Toshiba and Japan’s Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry conspiring to “beat up” Effissimo by threatening to act under Japan’s foreign investment laws, before suggesting new governance-related appointments that suited Toshiba more than Effissimo. The investigation also alleges that Japanese Prime Minister Yoshihide Suga was aware of the plan to use the Ministry to stymie Effissimo.

> Toshiba Corp. said Friday that a subsidiary booked fictitious sales of ¥43.5 billion in 26 transactions recorded only on paper... Nine companies including Toshiba IT-Services were found to have been involved in “round-tripping transactions” that did not involve any commercial goods or end users, according to information mainly from a report about an in-house survey involving lawyers and certified accountants.
I noticed that the article doesn't mention relational-calculus at all, only relational-algebra. That's a huge oversight, imo - as I feel one needs to understand both RA and RC in order to grok SQL and other RC-like systems, like Linq in C#/.NET and List-comprehensions in Python (or even use those before RC/RA and SQL).

-------

Rather than improve how SQL is taught (which seems to be the paper's objective), why not improve SQL so it isn't as horrible to try to learn in the first place?

The barriers to grokking SQL could be lowered considerably if SQL made minor adjustments like moving the projection part of a SELECT query to being below or syntactically after the WHERE clause instead of being at the top, and making SQL more "natural" to write-in without needing excessively verbose inner-derived-table expressions when all you want is to do perform some repetitive calculation which will be reused in later query steps.

Also, the GROUP BY clause really needs to be renamed to "AGGREGATE BY" or similar, because when normal people think "group" they're probably thinking of sorting/ORDER BY or PARTITION BY and they certainly don't imagine "don't display these rows at all, lol".

I just don't understand what drives the ISO SQL language design committee - I'd have thought that the newer revisions (e.g. SQL-2003) would have improved the language's ergonomics - on the contrary: the language's grammar and verbosity gets worse every release, and the team has strange priorities: apparently they feel needing to generate in-memory XML is more important than deferrable constraints - and I only ever see ISO SQL's XML features being abused to make-up for a lack of decent string-aggregation functions.

(...I could talk for hours about everything wrong with SQL.)
I'm surprised you didn't mention Core.

So it's a little more complicated than that.

Our API server runs the following

- authentication

- replication

- differential sync

- and a few more errands that are necessary for the apps to function

The solution to this would be to offer a self-hosted variant where you can plug in your S3 credentials. But like I mentioned else where in this thread, maintaining such a project comes with an overhead we cannot afford right now. Hopefully sometime in the future we will be able to afford the necessary engineering bandwidth.
You could generate word embeddings for all natural language text fields and then do cosine similarity?
While it does sound weird, it is a term that scientists are using to distinguish between the universe as a whole of existence that was, is including us and will be, and what we can observe within our capabilities from our position on Earth, in the Sol system, travelling in the Orion Arm of Milky Way galaxy. The universe and the observable universe.

This of course has nothing to do with the popular scifi concept of parallel universes.

The Bhagavid Gita is not a religious book. It's a philosophical treatise. It is a book that is to be analyzed, contemplated and debated.

It clarifies on the way of the world, the duties of a human being, on how to decide what is right and wrong (or what is sin and not).

Ultimately, it posits that what we suffer as humans, are essentially results of our own actions (karma). However these effects are not limited to the lifetime of the human form (because Gita posits that the human body is perishable, but the soul is non-perishable and carries forward the karmic effects).

It puts the cause of human suffering on humans themselves and posits that to escape this never ending cycle of cause-reaction, detachment is the only way forward.

Gita then explains what is detachment. How to be detached from our actions, thereby breaking the cycle of re-birth and ending our suffering.

So, in the context of Oppenheimer, I speculate that his reading of Gita made him aware of his actions and the karmic effects of it on his soul.

Background Note : Hinduism puts forth that this universe and our existence is not the outcome of some being / God. As, logically, speaking, if the universe came to be from the actions of some superior being, then it is implied that some higher being made this superior being, and the hierarchy goes on without end. Hinduism posits that this is absurd and that the universe is nothing but god. Every molecule, every atom, every soul is an expression of god.

Up until recently I’ve used Apple Photos happily since it provided a good combination of convenience plus the privacy of on-device recognition. You have a compelling product if you can convince customers you are as reliable and more trustworthy than Apple. You do face the disadvantage of not being the default option for iOS/macOS but that should be balanced by being available cross-platform in Android, Linux, Windows.
Yes you can and most of people in the embedded world doing Ada following mostly the same guidelines.

1- Don't use pointers. Or use not-null pointers. But preferably don't use them. With in/out semantics you don't need passing pointers or references around, and the addition of official data structures in Ada 2005 make most uses of pointers obsolete.
2- use controlled types when you're allocating to free soon. Limited_Controlled_Type are even safer if you're prepared to deal with a limited type :-)
3- recently, use SPARK, with safe-memory semantics. Hard work, but so is pleasing the borrow-checker...
edit Of course one of the impetuses (impetii) of manual memory management is having functions return objects of unknown size (at call site). In Ada this isn't a necessity, at least with GNAT's secondary stack.edit-end

I've programmed Ada almost every day of the work week for 13 years now, I can count on one hand the problems related to memory management, and opening the code you knew you were in for a treat. 'Smells like tiny cache syndrome' just remove those 90's blotches from our humongous codebases when we face them. I'm almost willing to make access types forbidden except in pools (so, not null he), with an open door policy 'explain to me so I can update our coding rules with that case if we find it worth the risk'. Forced software design review by linter.
Another way to think of how this works is to look at crowned pulleys:

In the train's case (if we ignore the gap between the wheels), the pair of wheels work like a crowned pulley, and the track finds center like a belt.

> We could have re-invaded and secured Kabul

And violating the agreements with the Taliban about withdrawal of forces to do that would make it easier or harder for people to get to Kabul to be evacuated?

> Sounds like the powers that be read the most optimistic projections of what the Afghan Army could do on paper and ignored or suppressed any information to the contrary

Given the already-executed surrender, the options were:

(1) throw it out and start a new war,

(2) rely on the Afghan Army providing security,

(3) rely on minimizing offense/provocation to the Taliban in the course of the evacuation.

I don't think there was much optimism about #2; there was projecting the right public image to avoid sabotaging what chances that held, but the fallback was #3, because #1 not only isn't viable for the withdrawal itself, but also is the worst possible thing to attempt for the post-withdrawal political situation.
Talent stacking (as Scott Adams coined it) I highly recommended even if you don't own a business. I mentioned this in another blog post.
The problem is lack of testing and slowness testing. The US I hate to say it, has been shameful in this regard compared to other developed nations. Teachers need to get tested and get results, quickly. That’s just not happening in the US. This case is the inevitable result of that lack of testing. Have you tried to get tested? I have and had to give up and go buy a test at CVS. It cost me 40 dollars and I was lucky they had tests on the shelf and I had time in my busy schedule to do it. Teachers probably have less time, less money, and may think they don’t need a test if they’ve been vaccinated.

TLDR: What is the state of the art for one-shot or few-shot longitudinal (time-series) machine vision tracking of object boundaries with ~ pixel (~ 10 μm) precision?

Specifics: I'm tracking the edges of the knee meniscus from time lapse video (~ 1000 frames) to measure its deformation under load. This is in the context of research to prevent osteoarthritis. Due to material rotation and irregular geometry, background edges that started off occluded come into and out of view over time. This tends to confuse both machine vision algorithms and human labelers. Because the tracking is for strain measurements, the tracked edge must be the same in all frames; therefore, the tracked edge is be a foreground vs. slightly less foreground edge of the same material (low contrast), not foreground vs. background (much easier). Only few-shot approaches are likely to save time because only ~ 20 specimens are needed to accomplish the immediate objective, and follow-up experiments will probably differ enough to require re-training.

The current plan is to Google "few-shot image segmentation" and try things until something works or the manual labeling effort finishes first, but maybe one of you knows a shortcut. Work is also ongoing to bypass the problem by enhancing edge contrast or using 3D imaging, but machine vision would be the most cost-effective solution.
The problem with any "second device" is that it needs to be with you and charged up when you need it. My phone fits the bill already, so adding a fallback for ubiquitous basic connectivity would be a win.
I tried to cut out processed/added sugar in April. It's worked great mostly, even when eating out if I'm careful. Tea was the big thing for me though. I'm from the South and was literally drinking sweet tea from the time I was a few months old. It was difficult, especially as my grandmother made the best tea. But she eventually started making unsweet for me and it's really hard to go back to sweet tea. It's just so overpowering. Even eating too much sugar makes me sick now.

I'm super glad I'm in Ireland now though, as I hope to keep up with the no added sugar trend once I start cooking for myself more. It'll be really interesting to see how much more weight I can lose (down ~20lbs since summer started simply by IF, walking and cutting out sugar more rigorously)
If you just want to vent go talk to a therapist, don't waste precious bytes.

Nobody holds comments they agree with to this high of a bar. You are being way too harsh, and this borders on personal attack.

One of the ways modern society is breaking down is that nobody has a community they can vent to and relate to. Everything is somebody else's problem. If someone has something to say, let them say it. If they didn't say it clearly, maybe ask for more. Don't make it personal, and if it's irrelevant, just downvote and move on.
It's chunky, but, it's older and made of plastic vs glass/metal and designed to be more resistant to drops/falls/damage. It's also a 6 year old design, technology has moved on.

My larger point being that I don't find it implausible that it could be done, since, 6-year-old technology was already close.
It's NOT a real approval:

1. It's a redundant renewal of the existing Pfizer under the exact same EUA - thus STILL NOT finished clinical efficacy and safety trials
2. It "pre-approves" a new future Pfizer vaccine that has not yet even been created nor passed even the first stage FDA efficacy and safety trials

So it's literally a bait-and-switch lie to try to get people to take the Pfizer NOW that is still under EUA (and not fully tested).

Putting the calculation into minutes turns the paper into a farce. As you said, we already know eating broccoli is good, eating a burger is bad. We can also say eating a double cheeseburger is worse than eating french fries. What is dumb is trying to attach such precision to every item of food, which is the goal of this paper. Wouldn't you agree that there's some HUGE standard deviation on each food item (which isn't addressed in the paper). Some people can eat a cheeseburger a day every day and live to 100. Some people can eat vegetarian every day and die of coronary artery disease.
I don’t get that reasoning. The value of the searches doesn’t come from the abilities google has with them. At least not primarily.
It comes from the ability of iPhone _users_ to pay for purchases. It is this purchase power that makes the searches valuable to advertisers (and hence google). iPhone searches are valuable because iPhone users tend to have higher disposable income^.

Additionally I’d say that the number of users switching over the search results of google vs DDG is approximately zero ;)

^ Of course in second order there is an added value of being able to subdivide iPhone users in smaller segments which might add some value (to google). But I’d bet that loosing out on >95% of those searches would be bad for google. Especially strategically as a significant fraction of their former income would then fund someone else’s search engine development. This sounds eerily like Intel’s refusal to build the chips Apple wanted, which pretty much funded TSMC’s technical advantage. And back then nobody knew that those would go into a >200bn$/year product with 30% margins.
The links above are not an argument against vaccination. They are an argument against blaming solely unvaccinated people for the spread of the virus.

I think this doesn't account for investment returns. If you assume this money is invested for the duration of your 20s and 30s, you "only" need to invest $50k/yr for the first 10 years. At an average 7% growth, you can let it ride for a decade and still have just under 1.3mm by age 40.

In your example, a high salary individual contributing $50k/yr for 20 years at 7% ends up with over $2mm by age 40. That's $80k/yr at a %4 withdrawal rate for the rest of your life.

More reasonably, a $25k/yr contribution for 20 years at %7, would pass $1mm by 40. If you let that sit for the next decade and retire just before you turn 50, that will roughly double over the decade to $2mm.

I agree that this isn't attainable for everyone, but contributing the $19.5k/yr max to a 401k pre-tax, and $5.5k/yr into a Roth IRA over your 20s and 30s, will likely make you a millionaire by 40 and a 2-millionaire by 50.
Microservices are the simplest solution to counteract Conway's law.

If you have two organizations writing software, the least-overhead organizational approach that allows minimum communication overhead and release coordination is for both of those organizations to release a package and have well-defined APIs between those.

There are certainly other approaches to achieve similar outcomes, but microservices are the lowest-tech mechanism.
