I'm going to tilt at this windmill because it's important and illustrative of the incredibly poor quality of the financial news media.

No money "flows into" or "flows out of" the stock market or the bond market. Every security must be held by exactly one person until it is retired. (Let's set aside new issues, buybacks and mergers for now. They are a small percentage)

There is no money in the market at all. When you buy a share of stock, someone else is selling it to you. Your $100 becomes their $100.

The effect of recent monetary policy is that we now have a huge amount of zero-interest money sloshing around the economy. So your counter-party needs to do something their new $100. Putting it in zero-interest T-bill is not appealing, so maybe by another stock? Maybe real-estate? Crypto?

So we ave all this new money flowing though the system pushing up all asset prices.

It's also a big driver of the startup boom. Because not only do startups potential provide good returns, but they actually use the money to create jobs and build things.

They absolutely will. The entire reason Steam started working on Linux support is because they knew the direction Windows would go in.

Storybook is too complex and hard to understand. It adds to the growing frontend complexity.

This. But would also add 1) live in socialist countries that provide home care, or 2) or live in countries where there is extremely cheap labor due to endemic poverty (much of the third world), low rates of labor participation, or imported labor (HK/Singapore/Gulf states)
Most companies are not graciously funded laboratories so to me the argument for "let smart people chat randomly" is moot. Those companies have plenty of creativity-killing processes that make sure people never looked beyond what they have to do today and maybe tomorrow.
Of course it is. If Amazon didn't pay this education expense they'd pay 21% tax on that money. So the other 71% that would be profit for shareholders is now going to educating the public.

People did not live as long and would die of some cause such as illness long before they got to the age where they would develop things like dementia. Our situation with many people living to an advanced old age, an exceeding number by historical standards, is more recent (past 100 years or so).

Wait, even the YouTube playthrough video died?
For sure. I don't know the law well enough to comment on the legal ruling. But I do think that if the ruling is correct, we need different laws. I think platforms have no moral right to siphon off a (large!) share of the money flowing through their platform. Whether we see Apple's App Store as a natural monopoly or an artificially maintained one, there's no arguing that the normal market correction mechanism, competition, is ineffective here.
That's hilarious. How did the rest of the conversation go?

Agreed. I think people change their minds about how bad life would be if you can't function at a high level. A good deal of this is pride.

On Monday I will be an Intel Principal engineer again - but there's some Monday where I may need someone else's help to get the shit off my bum. From the perspective of that next Monday the indignity of the latter one is astonishing and humiliating, but there will be many intermediate stages where I get used to the idea that I am not what I was and to see that life is still quite pleasant.
Just buy a GPU from a vendor that doesn't restrict your usage of it next time.
At Spriggy we had senior developers enrolled into Intercom chat. This takes agile to a whole another level. I knew with certainty what we had to get done. It was not a jira ticket close but 100s of customers to help. Stressful, yes, but getting real problems solved, double yes.
unfortunately, there are some people who cannot function in the world without antipsychotics. a large number of people suffer from psychosis which in severe cases makes controlling their behavior, or even basic cause-and-effect thinking, impossible. the side effects of these drugs are terrible, but the alternative is worse.

abusing these drugs as tools of control when they aren't needed is evil in itself.

on top of that it's just going to give more credibility to the anti-psychiatry crusaders who want to give people suffering from psychosis the "freedom" to destroy their lives and minds.

For technical topics, like an AWS service or a new programming framework, I dive right into a project. If it's personal, I create a new app or tool. If it's for work, I review code and start contributing right away.

For other topics, I pick a stellar piece of content to lean on. It can be a book, but it can also be a video primer or an introductory article. Then down the rabbit hole I go, researching terms and saving other content I need to understand the subject matter.

For physical activities, like baking or fixing hardware, I prefer video so I get the nuance or where things go or how the output of each step feels like.

What a coincidence! I think I got to watch a single Columbo episode when it aired originally and had become a fan. So, over the past few weeks, I've been watching the entire series.

It's a really down-to-earth and charming series with some real laugh-out-loud lines.

Here's one when Columbo is visited by a girl whose fiance has disappeared right before the wedding -

Columbo: [to Ric's fiance] You two didn't have a fight or anything, did yuh?

Joan Stacey: No, but...

Columbo: Maybe he got cold feet. That's been known to happen. Was he married before?

Joan Stacey: Three times.

Columbo: Three times. I guess his feet are warm enough by now.

Yeah, that's frightening. Everything I read is exactly the opposite of what my education taught me to do.

Antipsychotics are supposed to be the last resort in geriatric care due to obvious effects on patient quality of life and functionality. Not even sure they're approved by the american FDA for such uses. If they must be used, pretty much anything will be better than haloperidol.

Reminds me of lobotomies of old. "Make the patient easier to care for."
And it's a contractually obligated requirement - that means Apple can suspend your developer account, remove you from the App Store, and potentially sue you for breach of contract, if they suspect you are fudging the numbers or not paying.
Ironic, considering that the day before, on Sep 10, Rumsfeld told a group at the Pentagon how wasteful it was. "According to some estimates, we cannot track $2.3 trillion in transactions."

> Epic doesn’t need to handle all game sales in order to collect their commission from developers who use Unreal Engine.

This has nothing to do with honesty. If I link to my website and someone donates, there is no way for me to know they were referred from the app.

Furthermore the actual quote being referenced reads, “The Court also notes that in the but-for world where developers could use an alternative processor, Apple would still be contractually entitled to its commission on any purchase made within apps distributed on the App Store”

Which seems to be at odds with the parent article. If someone uses an alternative IN APP payment method (which would be traceable) then yes, Apple would be entitled. If they link their website and are taken out of the app, no such agreement exists.
Add to that that Storybook's TypeScript "support" doesn't actually rely on TSC. Instead, Storybook uses Babel to do the transpilation TS -> JS (meaning that types aren't actually checked; besides you run into weird bugs at times).
> you only care about yourself, not about your readership if you have any

Well, that’s how capitalism is supposed to work innit? :) Producers care about themselves and consumers choose, competition ensues, the producers are therefore forced to conform to the consumers’ preferences.

What I mean is “you only care about yourself”, in a business setting, is not an accusation by itself, however unvirtuous it sounds. The opposite of “capitalism” in the first sentence is not “social democracy” or “welfare state”, it’s “planned economy”, and I’d say that every ethical judgment that moves us towards that has to go.

Except this works only when there’s (a lot of) competition, which is exactly what platforms attempt to exploit: you (a producer) move according to your best interest at each point, like everyone else, only to find yourself in a mono- (or oligo-) psony market where you have to sell through the platform(s) or perish, and now the platform(s) can enforce whatever they wish on you. The consumers aren’t feeling that spiffy, either. The laws of competition no longer apply.

(Huh, is moving to a platform essentially a prisoner’s dilemma with the (defect,defect) state obscured by marketing?)
Anecdotally, I've never noticed a meaningful performance impact once the clear and obvious bugs are fixed (thus its rated platinum).
Casimir force is most likely just a van der waals force (from polarization) and not at all related to the quantum vacuum fields.
I mean, yes and no.

In the article I linked to, Clarke cites that information sharing in the IC was widespread, and you see in other sources that the idea of warring bureaucratic fiefdoms was in some cases very true (Freeh / Reno being great examples, as you say) and in other cases not true whatsoever. To me this means that it's tougher to generalize from a trend to any one case.

The Midhar and Hamzi visa and known entry into the US stuff doesn't look at all like simple tit-for-tat or institutional possessiveness, mainly because the FBI agents posted to the CIA precisely to "phone home" about AQ and Bin Laden had been doing so regularly for 18 months and had yet to be overruled on something they were going to share with the FBI. So why was that specific piece of info ordered not shared and then lied about?

This is exactly why I opted for an iPhone. I knew an Android phone was an invitation to tinker - to de-Googlify. And I knew I would have a large project on my hands.
Interesting! Awesome to see this kind of improvement to the Linux ecosystem.
I’m fine with that as long as the government sets up the EV distribution network and provides me with two EV’s for free, since I’ve seen 950k people receive theirs and drive them for months now with barely any problems.
But—they have Ebola. The problem with a mandate of an imperfect vaccine on a person presently without Covid is they don’t have Covid. Frankly, I’d be ok quarantines imposed on Covid patients just like your Ebola scenario.

My problem is the whole “Minority Report pre-crimesque” aspect of it all. It’s an unnecessary aggression imposed on an individual to maybe or maybe not prevent a something that maybe or maybe not would have happened anyway.

A vaccine that was 100% effective and was 100% safe is probably the only way you can make an argument work. But if it was a 100% effective and a 100% it’s likely you wouldn’t need to mandate it anyway.
Respectfully, you’re (I presume) not a lawyer and neither am I; a layman’s reading of a legal ruling is a Bad Idea.

Do what you want with your app, but I urge anyone who does to seek legal advise first, rather than relying on their own interpretation of parts of the ruling.
I think import/export of stats is pretty doable. Not a tiny amount of work, because of how many stats there may be (regular, extended), but I don't see any obvious major challenges ...

Similarly for disabling autoanalyze. We kinda already allow that for autovacuum (ALTER TABLE ... SET ...), so adding autoanalyze_enabled seems possible too. Or you could just set the threshold/scale_factor very high ...
But they lived together there? Even when it's under the status of a romantic relationship, that's still at least partially a tenant-landlord relationship and as such the tenant has rights. Setting aside all the gender politics - you don't get to evict a tenant at a moment's notice. And yeah, he got evicted sorta. But he still owns the house. I'm not saying it's an ideal situation... but given the tenant landlord power imbalance, I don't think it's actually obvious that he gets to keep living there and she doesn't just because they've separated.
It seems the initial media reporting on this decision was way off the mark and the feedback from actual lawyers [1] is that Epic got crushed in court:

1. The judge affirmed Apple's right to terminate Epic's developer accounts for violation of the developer agreement and ban them from the App Store, including all developer accounts related to their Unreal Engine business.

2. The judge fully rejected Epic's entire monopolization claim based on the theory that Apple held a single-brand "monopoly" over the distribution of apps on its own devices, killing any hope they had of running their own app store.

3. The judge repeatedly made it clear that Apple was still entitled to a commission for the use of its intellectual property, even if developers did not use IAP to process payments:

> "Under all models, Apple would be entitled to a commission or licensing fee, even if IAP was optional." (page 67)

> "Even in the absence of IAP, Apple could still charge a commission on developers. It would simply be more difficult for Apple to collect that commission." (page 150)

> "The Court also notes that in the but-for world where developers could use an alternative processor, Apple would still be contractually entitled to its commission on any purchase made within apps distributed on the App Store." (page 155)

4. If, as discussed in the article above, the anti-steering provision only applies to telling users about lower prices on other platforms, this ruling basically changes nothing for developers on the iOS platform itself.

[1] The Hoeg Law video linked elsewhere in this thread is good place to start.
I agree they got away with it with the XBox. My question is whether that's morally right.

People who believe that should presumably argue that Windows should be the same way. That they don't suggests that a status quo bias is in play here. Apple's App Store and vendor-locked consoles are seen as ok because they exist. But I think few would say Microsoft has the moral right to lock down Windows and take a 30% cut of all the software and software-based revenues, even if their dominant marketplace position (and lobbyist-influenced laws) would let them get away with it.

Bad luck on your part mostly. Of the handful of brands for wireless adapters most work. You keep getting one that is poorly supported like Broadcom.

Some vendors just refuse to support Linux.

I find it pretty hard to see it that way. Most people aren't equipped to deal with the senile. Taking care of aging family members just causes stress for the caregivers and the old people can tell that they're a burden. Surrounding them with people in similar situations and trained caregivers plus the option to be drugged out of their misery seems like a much kinder thing to do.
Wonder if working from home will do to this, will change the demand for nursing homes in the future?
The point is covered multiple times in the ruling:

>Under all models, Apple would be entitled to a commission or licensing fee, even if IAP was optional.

>Even in the absence of IAP, Apple could still charge a commission on developers. It would simply be more difficult for Apple to collect that comission.

>Apple is entitled to license it's intellectual property for a fee, and to guard its intellectual property from uncompensated use by others.

>While the court finds no basis for the specific rate chosen by Apple (i.e., the 30% rate) based on the record, the Court still concludes that Apple is entitled to some compensation for the use of it's intellectual property.

>To the extent Epic Games suggests that Apple receive nothing from in-app purchases made on its platform, such a ruling is inconsistent with prevailing intellectual property law

Aren't both of those "powerful adversary" attacks equally valid against Signal, and really any digital communications platform?

It depends on how accessible this email metadata is compared to Signal traffic, and how big you'd have to be to be able to eavesdrop on it. IIRC this was even a problem for Tor, when there are too few users relative to the nodes being snooped on.
It's an investment, not guaranteed to pay off.

So, what does interpretable really mean?

When you train a neural network, it is also not really a black box. You can exactly see what it does, and inspect all weights and activations. You have a very clear logical reasoning why you end up with some decision. Only that this is maybe a huge decision rule when written out.

When you would now take such symbolic or logic based approach and apply it on some real-world task, and depending how much freedom you leave to the training, the learned logic rules can look exactly the same as the logic rules when you write down the decision rule of the neural network.

Maybe the logic rules derived this way will look shorter, simpler, more understandable. But this is not really studied here. And this is questionable. And maybe even not so easy to measure anyway.

More interesting is the increased data efficiency by the proposed method. This is something you can measure. And any improvement here is good and speaks for the new method by itself.

But this does not imply better interpretability.
First off, it's art. You need to stop thinking like a programmer and think more like an artist. That means thinking about colors and lighting, tones and hues and highlights and shadows. If you're unfamiliar with these things, that's fine, you can find plenty of training material and courses online. It takes time, because it's a skill that requires training and practice and self-discovery.

Second, lighting is a careful balance, but in general, the simpler the rig, the better. Pull an IBL HDR map from somewhere, use a single directional light, and let the bounce lighting do the main work here. Outdoors looks gorgeous and that's a single directional light, and a ton of bounce. And that's the same thing providing the light in this room scene as well.

Third, learn the tricks and technologies. Learn about lightmapping, about shadow mapping, about the different shader tricks, about why real-time transparency is hard. Yes, libraries like Three.JS can abstract over some of this, but some fundamentals in the tech can help you focus on the things that will work, and the things that don't. Simon Schreibt has some excellent guides and tutorials that are artist-focused about tech art.

The lightning here isn't realtime: just a bunch of baked lightmaps fading in and out. Not even SH probes!
In Soviet Russia, government officials would remove someone, and then claim suicide. In America, they first claim suicide (risk), then remove them.

Same. I used to really hate "cloud" given I was old-school devops and could do all of these things listed above with self-written management tools and a sprinkling of Ansible. However, I think in the past year, I've seen the light, shaved off my neckbeard, and have really enjoyed the lightening of shoulders of not having to think about things problems that no longer exist.
Also I wonder where the line should be drawn if Microsoft did it? Could they take 30% of let's say revenue done on Amazon? Or if we expand to other platforms could they take 30% of stock trading? Loan repayments?
Valve is literally to the point of telling devs to not make ports, Proton will deal with it.
Mars rover’s first rock samples reveal lengthy water exposure
This happened to a friend of mine. "Friend" of theirs who was angry they didn't have a romantic interest in him called the police claiming they were suicidal. Police came, handcuffed them, verbally abused them, and dragged them to a hospital against their will even though they were clearly fine. They were forced to stay there for ~a day and then had no means to get home, thankfully a friend was able to pick them up and drive them home from the hospital.

No consequences for the guy, of course.
I can’t believe I have to say this: GPT-3 can’t channel dead people
Yeah the media ran with one narrative but the court decision basically says Apple can't stop you from linking outside your app for payment stuff but that they can still require users be able to use IAP.

Very confusing that so many of the media outlets covering this trial got the results wrong.

They still at least were able to rip the mask off Apple (like when Apple revoked their Apple ID sign in in retribution, and went after their desktop business, signed keys were promised by Apple to only to be for security, for a non-security related iOS business dispute).
