Well, there's relevancey from a public health point of view, and then there's relevancey from anti-vaxxers point of view.

And the anti-vaxxers are going to say, might as well get the covid, I'll have better immunity than the vaccinated.

Even though, by getting infected, they're going to infect other people! Which doesn't happen as a result of getting vaccinated.
I must say I'm always impressed by how well the Nordic nations teach English. They seem to have a better grasp of writing in English than many American's do.

I'm sure it's a point of pride. French people are very proud of their language, in general. And, despite being at-peace and having relatively friendly relations with the UK for at least a century, I'm sure there is a lingering sense of rivalry between them. The Britain and France have been adversaries for nearly a thousand years, after all.
Well there's definitely a mistake there - Borderlands 2 is an Unreal engine game, not XNA.

A notable XNA game not included in the list is Braid.
> in Iceland and was astonished that everyone there spoke pretty much perfect English

On my visit there seemed to be a pretty sharp division based on age where people over 60ish have a good chance of not speaking English. Maybe lower as you move away from Reykjavik. Virtually everyone under 40 speaking English, across the island.

Oddly, while I've always considered my brother and I to look a lot alike, everyone would speak English to him and then immediately switch to Icelandic for me (which I don't speak).
It's no game.The vaccine was extremely effective. After a year, a new vaccine will be needed for the new strains. Just like the flu vaccines.
Remember that a third of the US is considered obese[1] and 10.5% of the population is diabetic[2], another common risk factor for covid.

America is definitely the exporter of English to the rest of the world. People are learning English by watching American movies and TV shows, listening to American music and playing American video games.
There's also a large English-speaking population that never learned Squamish, since they settled in Granville about 150 years ago.

"I think the companies that will do best are the ones that augment horses with a focus on making them faster and efficient, rather than trying to cut them out of the loop"

Seriously, I'm not surprised a profession that built itself a legalized cartel with the AMA would fight tooth and nail something that might actually automate away their job, or flat out use their monopolistic position to collectively decide to boycott a particular software vendor/tech they perceive as threatening.
Yes. Unreal is the most popular non-proprietary engine for AAA by far.
"We might not win" is an excuse prosecutors and politicians use to avoid cases they don't want to take. It sure is strange that this is the case for a well-connected billionaire family... I believe the Sacklers should be charged with everything the DOJ's legal experts think has a shot at success, and in the interim they should pursue asset seizure, freeze assets under AML rules, and seek to hold the defendants without bail until they can be tried. After all, what is the point of these legally questionable tactics if they are used against two-bit pot dealers yet prosecutors are too afraid to leverage them against those with actual power?

We've established these tactics and techniques are apparently legal and morally justifiable, so let's put the screws to those who truly deserve it. Worst case, maybe the Sacklers will even use some of those billions to take some of these issues to the Supreme Court and unfuck the system a little bit for the rest of us.
Get ready for the degradation of Reddit to accelerate when this happens. Right now Reddit is almost still usable if you use third-party apps on mobile and Old Reddit Redirect on the desktop; both of those are going to be cut off for a quick jolt to revenue when the market demands it.
I got the impression it was just another dose of the same vaccine(s) already available rather than a new thing.

I heard something about tests on vaccine combinations (i.e. different types of vaccine for your 1st & 2nd dose) a while back though but I can't remember the details, does anyone know what happened with that?
What would you estimate is the percentage reduction in air flow when comparing the fan by itself to the fan with the filters attached?
> My high school technique of not bothering to do much of anything and still getting an A took a year and a half of abject failure.

This is a common experience. University can be particularly hard on kids which have a self image of "I'm a good kid because I get straight A's".

Once you're selected to that level, you're in a narrower cohort with other nerds; you're not just going to stand above the crowd with next to no effort.
That's because it isn't a cable, it is a computer.

In the 1980's I worked with CAD/CAM software that required hardware dongles on parallel ports as an anti-piracy measure. That probably could have been exploitable: e.g., instead of returning the security response, cram a ton of data and cause buffer overrun on their 80286 + DOS5 application and smash the stack. It would be fun to go back in time and see just how vulnerable that software was.
I'm a bit confused about this method.

So the standard argument against such a procedure is that if you generate N random bits, each of {0,1}^N bitstrings is equiprobable and therefore no mapping of {0,1}^N to {0..U-1} can map an equal number of bitstrings to each output.

A priori the method seems to work around this by conditionally sampling more bits, so that your domain is not one of fixed-length bitstrings. But then there is this paragraph:

> More intriguing still, this algorithm can be made unconditional by removing the early out, so that every value computed requires word size + 64 bits from the stream, which breaks the loop-carried dependency for fast generators, unlocking vectorization and parallelization where it was previously impossible. This is an especially powerful advantage when paired with bitstream generators that allow skip-ahead such as counter-based generators or PCG.

But now we are mapping {0, 1}^N into {0..U-1} right? So this mapping ought not be uniform? In fact I'm not sure why the early-termination method even works, because for a fixed U we know the maximum depth of the generated-bitstring-tree, so we can just pad it with imaginary random bits to arrive at the contradiction that U does not divide 2^N.

I imagine I missed something, what is it?

EDIT: thinking about it more, if you sample finitely many bits then each possible output has a probability that is a dyadic rational (fractions of the form a/2^k) which does not include all integer reciprocals.

My concern is that pull requests are mutable, and the thread and code can be edited, deleted by the author or repo owner, or even disappeared entirely if the author gets banned by GitHub (like github.com/volth, whose account got shadowbanned since it changed from a real person to a bot account used by archive.is to scrape GitHub).

The united states was literally born to be a useful thing for rich white dudes. That's why "by the people, for the people" doesn't mean women or black people or people without enough land. The founders didn't want normal people to have power, and everything they wrote was so the people in power could keep that power. The constitutional convention was literally a room full of powerful people agreeing on what compromises would keep them happy
That makes sense during normal times, but when the air quality outside is hazardous, venting the air outside means it's pulling unfiltered air inside your house. So use sparingly.

The last time I lived in a place with an unvented stovetop microwave fan, the previous owner never bothered to install the filters, so it was just recirculating unfiltered air.
Watch how swiftly the alt right retreats on their support for free speech should they ever dominate politics.
Put in a mini display to the key, and customise your keycaps! See my other comment about the EspUSB and trying to type other languages.

The ARM core wouldn't be ideal for that though, because it would need a separate WiFi chip. Probably better just to use an ESP (ESP8266, ESP8285, ESP32-C3) that has WiFi (sometimes also BLE) on the silicon.

For an easier challenge, I wish there's a TOMU that sits flush with the USB port, and with functioning push buttons on the side. Then I could add 2 extra keys to my keyboard!
Hak5 makes some great stuff, but yeah: how hard would it be to swap the vote counters USB sticks with Hak5 BashBunnies loaded with exfiltration software if their protocols suck to begin with? I really hope there are root of trust procedures.
This paper has found that you need 1000 artificial neurons to simulate a real one. This doesn't say much about the actual complexity of a neuron though, e.g. I'm sure you need many neurons to simulate a Fourier transform, even though the Fourier transform only has a few mathematical terms (in other words, the true complexity of a FT is much lower). What would tell us about its actual complexity though is if we knew how many "variables" the formula describing a single neuron has, which should be approximated by how many degrees of freedom in nature does its genetic description have.

Faiss is a vector search library that contains different index types, including one with product quantization (IVF-PQ) as shown in the article. It makes it easier to work these indexes.

See this intro to Faiss: https://www.pinecone.io/learn/faiss-tutorial/

In case you meant how Pinecone compares to Faiss, the answer is similar to above. Pinecone is a managed vector search service that contains vector search libraries. It has added features, an API, and a managed + distributed infrastructure to make it easy to run vector search at scale.

It sounds like you’re a strong anti-conspiracy theorist, but not every conspiracy theory is wrong just because most are wacky (that there was a cartel to limit the life span of light bulbs is a proven true conspiracy theory).

There’s plenty of evidence for „conspiracies“ similar to what’s suggested here - Eurion dots are absolutely real. That doesn’t mean that I believe they’re being employed here, but it seems like a good candidate for further inspection, especially because it‘s a hypothesis that is fairly easy to test.

Not GP, but I assume because 'subreddits' so frequently have an associated Discord 'server'.

You could argue Reddit missed the opportunity to spot that, buy a younger Discord, and integrate it better.
Law firm or corporate finance? Sure, agreed, that would be a bit out there. Probably includes some other industries i cannot think of right now.

Tech? Please don't make me laugh. Working at MSFT for a while, I've seen plenty of people in-person (even in management) with visible massive tattoos (even one with full neck covered in ink), piercings, and I am not gonna even start on wild hair styles and colors. One of the very senior people I've gotten a chance to work with had her hair color being split in half right down the middle - half black half white (ala Cruella from Disney's 101 Dalmatians). And mind you, out of all the big tech companies, MSFT is one of those that imo skews a bit of an older crowd, so I don't doubt this kind of stuff is even more common at places like FB.

One of my friends is a doctor in the deep south, and his arm is fully tattoed and is on open display at work (short sleeves). From my anecdotal experience, every time I go for an annual physical checkup with my primary doctor (in PNW), more than half of his nurse staff has either bright-colored hair or tons of tattoos (or, not uncommonly, both).

All of this is extremely acceptable in the US these days, barring few specific industries that still insist on ultrastrict "suit-and-tie" dress code and some rural areas. But in major cities? It would be impossible for me to walk through a block on the street without seeing at least one person with either neon-colored hair or very covered in ink or with tons of piercings.

I don’t think anyone disagrees with the general assertion that rocket travel is more dangerous than airplane travel. The question is less “is this rocket as safe as an AirBus” and more “is this rocket as safe as other rockets?”

My issue with Virgin Galactic is that their rocket design is fundamentally unsafe. It requires a human crew flawlessly perform a high level of work load with minimal automation and safety interlocks. This isn’t something we’d accept with a commercial airplane, even with the much wider margins of error that those craft provide. For a rocket this is absurdly dangerous.

The designer in fact explicitly said he wants the pilots actually in control of the aircraft directly without automation, which is romantic but incredibly dumb during supersonic ascent, as the fatal crash shows.
I just did some legwork for this thread. It's your turn. Go find the state felony murder law that would fit the fact pattern of a Sackler case.
I just meant that it's not clear from this that the 6% are 'overall better' just that the 94% are 'overall worse.' More data is needed, but it does appear that progress is being made, and I'm excited by that.

They are both effectively threaded chats. Discord a bit more real time than Reddit and lower volume. But definitely can see people migrating from Reddit to Discord. Especially for smaller subs.
How NOT to scale your dev team [video]
They are both popular forums to discuss games. If you want to join an online community around a game you play, reddit is an obvious choice. Discord has become some kind of awful de facto standard filling the same use case.
It seems to be fully statically typed, for starters:

https://github.com/adsharma/py2many/blob/main/doc/langspec.m...

But, given LuaJIT and V8, it's obviously possible to generate high-performance code without such restrictions.

As for PyPy adoption, it's hindered more by the lack of API compatibility with CPython native extensions.
That's exactly right. It's not uniform, but the deviation from uniform is so small that there's no measurement you can perform that can observe the difference. If you need an formally uniform distribution for an information-theoretic proof or something similar, you wouldn't use this termination condition.
It's pretty well established that feedback delay actively hampers performance.

Hearing your own voice delayed by some amount, 100 milliseconds IIRC, makes it very difficult to speak. There is the famous video by Microsoft Research on the effects of latency (delay) when using a pen. Dan Luu has done a series of articles on measuring latency because he notices the discomfort induced by the poor performance of modern peripherals and software.

A 60Hz monitor refreshes the screen every 16.67 ms If your OS or editor implements a double-buffering scheme, your keystrokes will on average be another half-frame behind that, so a display latency of around 25 ms.

At 240 Hz the frame time is just over 4 ms so the display will lag by only around 6 ms. You are a fiftieth of a second better off, minimum.

Lots of subreddits have a discord community, but i dont think vice-versa. communities are overlapping, and at some point admins will have to make a choice which one they will put their energy into. Some fringe subjects have moved from one to the other.
That’s an easy one. There’s nothing different between blinking that status LED and sending a transmission over fibre and wiretapping that.
Seriously. Here in Long Beach we have honest-to-god oil derricks right in the middle of our neighborhoods and even on some school campuses. This is despite some of the most restrictive zoning laws one can imagine.

If we're not stopping the heaviest of heavy industry from setting up shop right nextdoor then it's pretty obvious that zoning is nothing more than regressive rent seeking from property investors.
> Right now much of the mammogram reading is extremely straight forward. Radiologists can fly through those exams with high quality, especially when you consider the macros they have setup that allow them to write most of the report with with a two second voice command.

That to me sounds like an ideal automation use case. You have an entire class of highly skilled professionals performing a repetitive task. Sure, they may be able to do it quickly, but I imagine they must have to do a bunch of them each day.

You could imagine a world where hospitals didn't have radiologists on staff, but rather they acted in a consulting capacity for difficult cases.

The arrangements aren’t all that reciprocal because one of those countries used to occupy the other.

It’s the same(ish) as Russian minority speakers having more rights in Estonia and Ukraine than Ukrainian or Estonian in Russia.

I think each of those countries hates the “invading” language though. It’s a memory of oppression. Finns certainly mentioned that they hated Swedish when I was there and I’m also aware of Estonians hating Russian.
It's a reminder that Torba didn't create Gab to facilitate 'free speech'.

Yes, so not the ideal use case. The compatibility Cosmos offered was nice and didn't present any issues, it's just the performance that suffered.

This was all part of a benchmarking exercise to figure out how to scale an app with minimal changes so we expected some performance penalty, just not as steep as what we observed.
Thank you for reply, it's getting clearer now. Still don't understand what exactly is being certified here. Does Apple wallet somehow communicates with government database and verifies the ID, and then protects it against spoofing with some kind of government-approved cryptography?
Based on your cursory reading skills, I'm inclined to weigh anything you comment on with the same.

Minxin Pei isn't always someone I agree with (frankly, not remotely so), but he's no slouch on analysis of China policy and the Politburo.
If anything, by making devices like this accessible to the public, the end result is safer devices for everyone.

Without products like this you have criminals, a small amount of enthusiasts/researchers, and government sponsored actors exploiting vulnerabilities. If you put it out in the open, much like open source software, everyone can do it, but there's more pressure to fix blatant vulnerabilities.

Stage 0: "A computer will never beat a human at chess, the game is simply too complex"

Stage 1: "So one managed to do it, but 96% of implementations still can't"

Stage 2: "Well, looks like chess is pretty much dominated by computers. But the Go Game is still way too complex for a mere machine to tackle: only the human mind can"

Stage 3: "It was one tournament that AlphaGo won and really..."

Stage 4: "Yeah, the AI can play better Go and Chess than humans. These are solved problems."

I guess we're at stage 1 for self driving and apparently for mammograms as well. Only difference is, chess players didn't have a legalized cartel working for them in the 90's.
