Some potential markets:

- home security

- searching through long home videos

- production companies with large video archives (this would require more tooling)

I am unsure whether to focus on one of these groups or to go for a more generic tool. I'll add a video demo to the landing page. So far, for all the tests I've performed the ML model can generalize well enough to cover this range of uses.

Licensing: I need to research this further. I'm not sure how the licensing changes due to the fact that I've also fine-tuned the model on my own data.
At each tiling level, they have a proper tiling of hexagons with 12 pentagons. The system is based on an icosahedron.

But the way the hierarchical division system works, the tile boundaries from one scale don’t precisely match the tile boundaries from another scale.
Sibling commenter pointed out why this is wrong, but on a broader level, I don't understand the need to retcon the CDC's incompetence to score points against the anti-vaxxers. The anti-vaxx position is wrong whether or not the CDC is good at its job. The two questions are completely orthogonal.
> Why is transparency a problem here?

> The person doing orders of magnitude more work is probably only getting paid 10% more.

You've answered your own question. Transparency is undesirable from an employer's perspective because it encourages a closer alignment between compensation and productivity, and the mismatch between these currently serves as a significant profit advantage to the employer.

If I can get 1000% more work from someone, and pay them 10% or 100% more, I am highly incentivized to prevent them from becoming aware of the value of their efforts, because they might realize their (relative) exploitation.

At the same time, the less-productive worker also benefits from this lack of transparency because they get ~90% of the pay for 10% of the work. Disrupting the status quo would not be economically rational for them either.

Thus, only the small fraction of underpaid, overworked people benefit from increased transparency, and it is not surprising to find that the majority would resist its implementation.
If you are provoked by something as innocuous as "It's OK to be white" you really need to re-examine your commitment to tribalism and dedication to going out of your way to find things to be offended by on the Internet. (Or attached to telephone poles.)

Anything more than couple percent just due to improved memory management is phenomenal improvement.
> Is it possible

Yes, the set of functions computable with mu recursion, or with lambda calculus, is the same as the set of functions computable with a Turing machine. (Turing in his original paper showed that the set is the same for his system and Church's, and the proofs for mu recursion and many other systems are well-known.)

> I'll totally agree that from a teacher's perspective, the Turing machine is the better explanation.

When I learned this, the instructor did not use Turing machines. They used mu recursion. That has the advantage that you don't first define a machine and then derive the set of functions, instead you go straight to the functions. But I agree that Sipser (which I understand to be the most popular text today) defines a computable function as one that is computed by Turing machine, and to my mind that has the advantage of honestly suggesting to students what they are about.
Has no one noticed that this app in question is still on the App Store? First result on google when you search for "Apple Watch keyboards". This makes me even more suspicious of the guy creating all this outrage. It's also not very well reviewed.
What's a post-quantum key exchange? I assume this is a real thing and not a reference to Devs or Lapsis or something?
Not exactly similar, but in IntelliJ/java one can drop the current frame in the debugger. This jumps one step up in the stack, and allows you to enter the function fresh. Can drop arbitrary many stacks to go backwards.

Of course, it doesn't rollback the heap or any shared state. And playing forward again it will redo things again. So beware of side effects. But in codebases with lots of immutable data structures (Kotlin ftw) it works great.

Combined with hot swapping, one can even drop the frame, change the implementation of the function and then reenter, making it possible to test code changes without spending long time getting back into the same state/context.
I know this statement is controversial but honestly: for some people, work gives life meaning. Whether for a salary, or stock or for free.

But it should be revised to meaningful work. Not schlepping a mop at 7-11 to eke out next month's rent.

Heck, I don't have that level of success, am very middle class in fact, but even I think it's so boring to just sit in a beach sipping drinks for the rest of my life.

It means more to me when it's a nice well earned break from the work but for that to be the rest of my life .... I couldn't. I'd always find something else to work on as long as I was able bodied and of sound mind.
> I feel strongly about this, mostly because it happened to myself: After being sold, the first company that employed me introduced a "completely fair and transparent" compensation scheme. After I saw the scheme projected to the wall in the big All-Hands, I realized that without any degree I'd have to wait 10 years for stock options while the PhDs would be in almost immediately.

I also am a tech worker with no tech degree (no math, CS, eng, etc).

Pay transparency would be run by administrators inside businesses that would likely implement something as you describe: "So-and-so just graduated cum laude from X with a degree in Y therefore they're at pay band Z."

It will be horrible for people who had to self-educate.
I don't think this is a particularly interesting stat without a baseline of what % of people fell into that category. Since this is computed over the time period January 2 to July 2 and mass vaccination didn't really take off until the spring, you wouldn't have a large number of people in that category until near the end of the study period.
He seems to? How do you judge that? I feel like most people who make statements like that really mean "if I were given the choice between the two lives, I would choose Tom's over Zuckerberg's." That doesn't tell you anything at all about who's enjoying their life more, since you're neither Tom nor Zuckerberg, and their goals/priorities/values are probably very different from yours.

People DO bet where "ego points" are the reward, and my own personal proof is the Hollywood Stock Exchange [1]. For several years, I won my movie Meetup group's Oscar pool, just by taking all the predictions from HSX. (They don't do all the minor awards, which is a problem.)

Actually using real money is a major legal hurdle, and that's why most prediction markets don't do it. The political markets have a special "research" dispensation, last I checked.

They're very close. The ISO base media file format was directly based off of QuickTime container format.

If you look at a .mov file and a .mp4 file in a ISO bmff viewer, you'll generally see the only difference is the ftyp box is different ("qt " for .mov, "isom" for .mp4). Indeed, if you ask ffmpeg to make a .mov file and .mp4 file of the same content, literally the only difference is the contents of the "ftyp" box, every other byte is identical.
Yes, I can see how valuing the error/no error distinction differently can significantly color the whole discussion. So, cheers for finding the point where we actually differ!

Cheers for the heads up on cypress, not sure how I've missed it but I've added to my reading list and I'll be doing a deep dive. I'm using redux on my current side project and loving being able to scrub through state changes.

My angle on this thread is that I don't have much control over the frontend frameworks and usually when I land in an enterprise integration job a lot of the broader architecture is already in place - longer term I can have some influence but generally debugging involves numerous stakeholders. A tool like replay seems useful because most testers / users are reporting issues from their direct experience using the frontend, and being able to record and scrub through their interactions would be a massive timesaver, in lieu of setting up custom testing frameworks etc.

I get what you're saying though, and I'll definitely check out cypress, just wanted to add some context.
This seems like it ought to be possible on a typewriter -- or at least, one with a true backspace. I'm not sure if the backspace was an advanced/late feature, though. It seems pretty simple, but mechanical parts are pretty fiddly I guess.
I'm not super surprised? That seems to be where most improvement happens across a variety of languages nowadays.

I recently listened to an interview with someone working on Intel's C++, and he indicated that, contrary to popular assumption, most of the speed boost you can get with it isn't from better instruction-level micro-optimization, it's from analyzing information flows and maximizing locality of reference.

Perhaps this is an inevitable result of that ever growing processor-memory performance gap. Nowadays, the cost of having to take a walk of shame out to the RAM chips is so great compared to everything else that I would assume that minimizing the number of times you have to do that is by far the lowest-hanging fruit.
All lineages go back to the time of dinosaurs and earlier. (Ultimately they all appear to converge on the last common ancestor)

Any species tend to only last for 1-2 million years. If they don’t go extinct, they give rise to one more more descendant species. This produces a chain of ancestry where species give birth to more species.

Sharks, as a group, certainly arose before the time of dinosaurs. The current species of sharks evolved recently from earlier species of sharks.

There were multiple groups of reptiles prior to the time of the dinosaurs. Some of those reptiles produced descendants that later became mammals. Some of those reptiles produced descendants that became crocodiles, turtles, and dinosaurs.

Humans, as mammals descended from those early mammals that first appeared before the “age of dinosaurs”. Mammals lived alongside dinosaurs for hundreds of millions of years.

When the dinosaurs went extinct, the global disruption that cause that extinction removed most of the species living at that time. The survivors then found room to evolve into new niches in the ecologies as those ecologies recovered.

Reptiles like the ancestors of modern crocodiles survived. Birds were the only group of dinosaur to survive and chickens and parrots are modern examples of that bird group.

The mammals that survived evolved into newly opened up ecological niches and many lineages branched out from those survivors. The primates, including humans, were one such group.

I hope that this, high level summary, helps clear things up a little for you.

Your employer doesn't want you to discuss pay with your fellow workers, because if you did you would realize how badly you are being ripped off. This is why in many countries pay transparency is protected by law. The Wall Street Journal will naturally tell you otherwise, because they are your enemy.

Civ1 was groundbreaking for the time it was released. But Civ2 just improved on so many aspects across the board, that I'm not sure if there's any point in ever going back to Civ1.

Civ3 I skipped mostly, but Civ4, Civ5, and Civ6 are extremely different games from Civ2. Instead of iterating upon the formula, they've changed the game significantly. The basics of city construction (food and shields) remain the same, but even Civ6 has revamped the trade system entirely. (Tax rate, science vs gold, luxuries vs amenities).

---------

Only Civ1 and Civ2 play similarly. Civ2 revamped combat: your units have HP now and heal, rather than the weird full-random chance of win/loss in Civ1.

But Civ2 contains the "fight to the death on every combat", the similarities in governments (despotism, monarchy, communism, republic, democracy), similar multiplicative bonuses (market, bank, stock exchange), etc. etc. Civ2 really feels like they just wanted to make a "better Civ1".
Yeah, that's one of the few markets where I'm with the alarmists. You definitely can move the market by assassinating someone.
> and they're not harming anyone else

It's hard to isolate the personal risks (illness, long-term complication, death, cost) from the social risks (healthcare resource exhaustion, healthcare worker burden, socialized costs, increased transmission).

But assuming we could, how many people that choose to take the risk are _really_ prepared to accept the downside costs if their number comes up? How many would accept a reduced standard of care (or no care at all) as a risk they assumed? Or would there be much anger, regret, and gnashing of teeth?

Assuming the risk requires a degree of rationality that, while perhaps more common on this site, probably does not characterize the population that would choose to assume the risk...

This is not weird. I positively love being unemployed. All of the activities of the parent post are suddenly open, and I can contribute to my family, including traveling to see them. All of my personal projects reach milestones and benefit from real, professional attention. Those are things I can’t turn off, it’s just a question of how to subsidize them. Takes between one and ten million dollars earned and spent over a lifetime to do it.
Right. A bunch of variables all exist whose values let us ultimately apply the label of alive or not alive. So how can one pick the right set of variables and weight them appropriately to determine if a fetus is alive? Isn't it kind of arbitrary at a certain point? As in, we know when something is definitely not alive (when it is gametes in separate humans), and we know when something is definitely alive (when a baby is born and it is crying), but anywhere between those two is just an arbitrary choice.

You on your own definition of life would apparently want to restrict the rights of women relative to what they have currently. This is a dangerous idea and should not be allowed.

There is a bit of a statistical artifact here: the number of person-days of people with both doses in the UK is very small during this period. Most adults had no doses or one dose for most of this period.

The first two sentences of your article are

> Eradication is the reduction of an infectious disease's prevalence in the global host population to zero.[1]

> Two infectious diseases have successfully been eradicated: smallpox in humans and rinderpest in ruminants.

There is exactly one disease that has been eradicated in humans: smallpox, which took somewhere between 19 years and 27 years depending on when you consider the eradication effort to have started in earnest. We've gotten close with polio (after 40 years) and guinea worm (37 years). There are also a bunch of other diseases on that list where elimination efforts are in progress, but have not yet been completed.

Regardless, "eliminate COVID", should we decide to go down that path, is going to be a multi-decade project at best. It's also likely to be much harder than eradicating smallpox given the asymptomatic transmission and animal reservoirs. It might still be worth doing, in the same way that our eradication effort for measles is worth doing, but it's not worth holding up anything important until the effort completes considering that "until the effort completes" is likely to be a couple generations at the earliest.

Doesn't it? I mean, I get that some people want to try a different make/model of tire when replacing it for performance/noise/appearance, I've been one of those people at times.

But I also think there are plenty of people who get the tire that's available to them and reducing the cost per year of use would be welcome.

I will say that having an EV, the cost of tires really stands out. In 60K miles the only maintenance expenses I've had have been tires and a windshield. Even the ongoing cost of charging is basically invisible (plug in at home, free on the road), so tires have been about half the money I've put into it, it feels like.
