It depends on your application. If you are running on a smartphone, or on an AR headset, or on a car, or on a camera, etc, you generally do not have the latency budget to wait for multiple frames and run at high batch size.
Can you expand on this?

I'm far from an expert, but the OV-chipkaart was implemented 15 years ago. At the time 3G connectivity on buses and trams couldn't always be guaranteed, and the tech in the readers was also limited. To me it seems that executing all transactions on the card itself and balancing the books later makes sense given these limitations.

(That's not to say I don't have any criticisms on the system - I think the entire 'omchecken' procedure when switching between train companies could have been avoided and doesn't benefit passengers at all, and the system also doesn't allow for a fare cap at the day/week/month ticket level like Oyster.)
Thanks for the kind words, and good to hear you have open-sourced the admin panel app - I feel that is really key for allowing devs to quickly get a feel for using the system.

Would a Windows VM on your Linux system help? Maybe some apps have robust alternatives?
Actually curious.

Are these folks even paid by google? Or does google pay some contractor who then pays folks?

Are the laws designed to cover temporary staff hired by google, or temporary staff hired by a contractor hired by google?
1) How do you prove it was the vaccine that caused your side effects? You can't. It's not provable in court because "my legs went numb a day or two after I got the jab" isn't exactly concrete evidence.

2) No company should have their liability removed for any reason, especially by the government. This thinking was partly why the 2008 recession happened. I don't want the government taking on the liability of a multi-billion dollar industry because if the company messes up, we're paying more in taxes - guaranteed - to pay for all the settlements.

3) This mandate by the government violates every part of a right to personal autonomy when it comes to your health - there is a MONUMENTAL difference when the mandate comes from government as opposed to private business. This sets (further) precedence for future governments to give them carte blanche as to peoples' health.

Side note - Just a reminder that government-ran health systems like the NHS makes decisions about your health based on the status of the current system - meaning that people who are too costly to fix/repair/KEEP ALIVE will receive palliative care. That's disgusting to me. (The US healthcare system is a whole other topic entirely, this is just an example of government making bad decisions regarding your health)

> So the sperm and egg are committing a crime now? They are not conscious actors, they don't have responsibility.

I never claimed that. If anything, I am claiming that there's no responsibility that needs to be assigned to anyone because it's not a reprehensible act. And the only responsibility there is here, is the one that women voluntarily might or might not take upon herself.

> Taking an organ doesn't really accomplish anything though, because the purpose isn't to punish but to support the child and taking an organ does nothing for that.

You may always use that organ to help someone else in exchange for support for the child. Body of the woman is lawfully coerced to sustain harm and we don't do the same with man.

> I don't think the issue is quite as straight-forward as saying that the mother (or father for that matter, but obviously his situation is different) bears no responsibility towards the fetus.

Even if there's a responsibility. Even if we consider getting conceived the worst thing two humans can do to another it doesn't mean that is should be corporeally punished.

We shouldn't (and in almost all cases we don't) legally force people to risk their health and life to help someone else, even to save someone else's life. No matter how much responsibility the person is burdened with. We don't even take the kidneys of serial killers, even though the responsibility that they brought upon themselves is orders of magnitude larger than any other.
Surely they could do both?

> I can't understand why anyone would assume Apple having competition on their platform would make them worse.

Apple having competition isn't a problem. That competition selling me to that competition's actual customers--enabling difficulties and dark patterns that Apple does not--is a problem.

I like Stripe as an app developer because I pick them as a seller; they're not there to serve my customer and are there to serve me. I am reasonably confident that Apple's there to serve me at least as much as an app developer because I as a buyer picked Apple. For B2C interactions where I'm the C, I want the platform on my side.

Why would your selection of Stripe ever put the platform on my side? Why should I want this as a consumer? The money's already a rounding error, the time and stress aren't. If the end result here is "you must use Apple's subscription system, must honor one-click cancellations through a centralized clearinghouse, and sure you can use your payment provider on the other hand", then that's great. Anything else is worse than the status quo ante.
At the very least the support requirement is a soft one, not a hard one. A large portion of motherboards from that era had firmware updates to officially support Win11, and Win11 WILL work on an i7-7700k even though its not in the list. You unfortunately won't get it through Windows update and will have to install the hard way.

And if there's problems, you'll be sorry out of luck.

Pisses me off, but at least it's not a complete blocker.

Batch size 1 improves latency, especially for businesses/services with fewer users. Latency matters.

Also, your CPU cost numbers are way off, using an expensive provider like AWS instead of, say, Vultr (https://www.vultr.com)

And many businesses/services can't saturate the hardware you describe. It's just too much compute power. With CPUs you can scale down to fit your actual needs: all the way down to a single AVX-512 core doing maybe 24 inferences per second (costing a few dollars PER MONTH).
There's a difference between asking people to do something and asking them to do nothing though. In general, bodily autonomy is important and this the best abortion defense in my opinion as an anti abortionist.

With credit card payment, facial recognition, cell phone GPS tracking, etc. I think they can connect you to the trip even if you used Oyster.

Tired of personalization of the disease. I'm not 'hell bent' to do anything. Covid is endemic, there is no herd immunity. The only question is how to manage the severity of the disease, for all the infection events to occur in the long run.

I'll talk to my friends about "my day" every once in a while. Invariably it involves programming and the act of trying to describe what I'm doing is like off-roading: you constantly have to go long ways around things to avoid crossings the conversation can't handle, it's rough and bumpy the whole way, and some destinations simply can not be reached.

In short: I agree that rambling may have more to do with the difficulty of translation than the internal understanding.

We are now in an undeclared technocracy, veering toward a resurgence of global public acceptance of autoracy/fascism, while people watch TikTok.

Considering recent research linked the breakdown of insect populations to light pollution, that's probably not such a bad analogy.

You assume that conscious ill-will is required. The power and problem with human organizations is that they can achieve monstrous things while ignoring the results of their actions (see: biodiversity loss, air pollution, plastic pollution, nuclear weapons, etc.) while no single member or group takes ethical responsibility. Such failings are well studied: see academic literature in areas like mass psychology / anthropology / organizational psychology.
Don't worry, it's "safe and effective!"
Windy is fantastic.

But, I'm curious if there are any apps or weather models that give probability distributions? Telling me that it is going to blow 10 mph is useful, but telling me, for example, that there is a 60% chance that there will be a 10 mph wind and a 40% chance that the wind will blow at 15 mph seems more in line with how I would naively assume weather forecasting works.

Right now, the ECMWF [0] model in Windy shows 6 mph winds gusting to 30 mph for my area (SE Alaska, with lots of mountains and fiords, so a area that is gusty and hard to predict by nature). It almost feels like they're throwing their hands up in the air and admitting that they have no idea what the wind will actually do today. Which, is fine, if that's the case.

I just wish consumer weather forecasts did a better job communicating probabilities and uncertainties instead of spitting out a single value.

Geofence Warrants Threaten Civil Liberties and Free Speech Rights
I think you don't understand the answer. When customers buy iPhone, they already paid a plenty amount of money for accessing third party apps via App Store since it's so essential and inherently indivisible value from iOS and iPhone, in favor of Apple's argument. Apple may not be obligated to subsidize developers with direct cash, but to pay operational expenses for App Store since there is no alternatives. Otherwise, it would be a textbook example of abusing monopolistic power.
When thinking about length limits, always try to come up with use cases for the data that limit the length.

If you have a legal name, you might want to write that person a letter (an invoice, injunction, notification of breach, whatever), so it must fit into the address field. If you allow a 2000 character name, it likely won't fit. Same for street names and the likes.

Not fitting a full name into a field sucks, but at least it gives the one filling it the choice how to shorten it.

If the data goes into some kind of webpage, does it even render properly if it's very large? If it goes into a hover text, or in a box that's too small for a proper scroll bar, it becomes unreadable it too big.

If text becomes really big (and it might be gigabytes if there's no limit), storage cost becomes an issue.

From this perspective, you basically never want unlimited TEXT fields anywhere, at least not exposed to customers. Maybe it's OK for internal some internal, at least if you can yell at your users if they abuse it too much.
> Even with a CC payment, wouldn't you be able to cancel the recurring payment by going through the account options on your bank website?

No? I don't know where you're located, but I'm not aware of any North American banks that offer anything of the sort. Typically the only thing you could do through your bank is dispute a charge after the fact and request a chargeback. The end of that process may or may not see the company in question left unable to charge you again, but it's not a "cancellation of recurring payment" process in any normal sense, and it's going to require some phone calls and form-filling.

Companies will famously decline to offer subscription cancellation options on their website, leaving consumers with the only option of calling them on the phone and facing a hard sell when attempting to cancel. Apple's subscription cancellation options are night-and-day better than the status quo.

As far as OEM notes go ms is probably among the best but it’s not saying a lot. I find that most MS notes rarely explain the how very well if at all. They usually just explain the what. Sometimes that is enough, but usually I want to see examples of how to use code to perform a task. For me at least seeing examples of real world use helps infinitely more than here is an object. Here are its public methods. Here are its public fields and properties.

Stack Overflow excels at showing implementation examples which, while the best way is not always highly rated, at least shows a way. When I was more junior I would sometimes take SO answers verbatim but I think now it at least gives me something to think about improving.

There's still lots of polymorphism in Rust. Take for example the way reqwest handles HTTP headers. Reqwest cares that it's technically possible (albeit a bad idea) to write arbitrary bytes into an HTTP header name even though those bytes are ASCII case crushed. This being understood, and Rust's strings necessarily being UTF-8 and not arbitrary bytes, a header's name might not be a string in Rust (though of course the vast majority are) and so Reqwest carries around a whole marker type for things-that-might-be-plausible-header-names, knowing that all any non-bad-guys will care about is a few simple ASCII strings but needing to correctly handle much more.

The two obvious things work, if you say the name of a header, you get that header, and there are constants like HOST defined for the most common headers to avoid typos, but you can do crazy stuff, and importantly if a hostile peer sends you crazy stuff Reqwest promises to cope.

Maybe it's that Rust's polymorphism is more explicit through Traits.

If Pigeon, Duck and Emu are all Birds, and further more Animals in C++ it's unclear what exactly this Bird superclass does for me, still less Animal or when I, knowing I have a Pigeon here, should consult the documentation for Bird and/or Animal rather than or in addition to that for Pigeon.

Whereas not only does the Emu not implement Fly, I can feel comfortable guessing that the code implementing Fly generically or for my Pigeon is unlikely to be related to my problem that this Pigeon says "quack" and I should instead look closely at the AnimalSound trait, given away by the fact I had to explicitly name that trait to get the "quack" noise from the pigeon.
I've had similar thoughts about this development. (Not about myself being able to rewrite DOS without much effort - but I don't doubt that you could!)

The sophistication of some individual projects today rivals major industry efforts back in the early 80s.

I think it boils down to mostly these things:

a) back then the number of software developers was perhaps 100x-500x smaller than today - so there was simply a much smaller pool of smart people. (But also: Today we have a much, much larger pool of kinda meh people.)

b) there was no widespread internet access, so developers learned new concepts very slowly, often re-inventing them on their own. also, smart people often gut stuck in places where they had no chance of excelling.

c) better tools now: much better screens, windowing systems, mice, better editors (edit: not necessarily IDEs), source code version control tools, SSDs instead of floppies, VMs, trivial networking, pdf readers, archive.org/etc, web browsers/services/sites, etc etc.
You live in a beautiful area. I grew up scouting around there...on one trip we were invited to embark & leave Eastsound earlier than anticipated because a couple of our members decided to "casually" lift some cigars from a store there (IIRC). xD Thanks for the ATIS info too.

windy.com is great for forecasts, but you have to be careful of the model used for certain sports. (For example, the NAM model can be more accurate for low wind gusts.)

In my spare time over the last couple weeks I've been building a PWA for paramotor pilots to better visualize winds aloft: https://ppg.report.

Wind modeling - especially for aviation - is really an interesting subject. The main API I use at ppg.report is https://rucsoundings.noaa.gov/, lots fun to learn about (CIN, CAPE, the historical "soundings" manually reported from aircraft and balloons, versus the modern ones automatically pulling data from commercial flights.)

What do you even think a monopoly or anti-competetive behavior is?

During the standard oil trials, would you support the argument of "If people don't like it, they can go build their own railroad!"?

Do you simply not believe in any forms of monopoly law? Because your argument could be used in literally any monopoly trial, if you actually believe it.

Not to be pedantic, but was Einstein incorrect at that time/in the future? Were there any actual indications that nuclear energy would be obtainable at that time?

Einstein didn't seem to say, "Obtaining nuclear energy is absolutely impossible, and can never be achieved." All he said was that there is not the _slightest indication_.

I am sorry if this comes off as being semantical, but I just want to make sure I am not misinterpreting you or what Einstein said.

As for the other points, yes. Those were great examples.
