I'm always serious when I make jokes. Your silly joke got way to much attention not to make it into a professional joke by adding additional puns to it.

The biggest discovery imho is that people accept your style as a refreshing alternative to the plastic people. We wish you were real. We all have a behavioral picture of an entrepreneur but now we see its all bullshit. Just do what you like and be yourself.

Maybe one should put a fixed position css door on the website with the word EXIT on it and have that nice promt to close the page if one clicks on it.
If you're not careful, your body will start failing at age 65 and you'll live a drab decade until croaking at 75.

If you want to avoid that, and want to stay healthy and vibrant until 75, you have pretty much the same goals as someone who wants to live to 95.
Ben Thompson @ Stratechery does the most in depth analyses of regulating companies like FB, which I think reach similar conclusions for different reasons, such as it's actually in the users' best interest in some ways.
In fact, depending on what you mean by "good" genes, this is no mystery, since the personality trait conscientiousness is heritable.
You figure out what the intent is.

Any time legislatures have a hard time defining the line between legal and illegal behavior, courts tend to take a “we’ll know it when we see it” approach. Justice might be served but rule of law is diminished.
You don't need to be in a group to talk to other people. You also qualify "group" with functionless groups.

I am biased against group think. But also group speech, group emotion, and group everything else, as they are all inferior to their individual counterparts. Group emotion is a mob.

If you've been in a group where the group changes your independent behavior, or you relinquish your decisions to the group, you've just downgraded yourself.

And if you look at all the stupid in the world, most are done by groups.
I want to know who exactly did this, on whose instructions, and why right now.
Thank you. I was in fact wondering ! :)
That’s the thing about laws. It’s up to the courts to decide.

And yet most of the people hospitalized in BC are unvaccinated so vaccination does make a difference. I believe the situation is the same in other areas.

Some suspicious things about this paper:

- while one author has authored many papers, the other has none and comes from a secondary school
- while they don't come right out and say it, it seems they are arguing against vaccine passports, and lockdowns as they don't mention those in the summary as mitigation efforts

- the summary reads like talking points for anti-lockdown crowd, it even says that we should treat covid like the flu at this point

- one of the cited references is also widely cited by the anti-vaxxer crowd, the reference saying that natural immunity is better than vaccine-acquired immunity (reference 8) and the paper has not been peer-reviewed

- they are mis-representing data from at least one of their references (10: Improving communications around vaccine breakthrough and vaccine effectiveness.) This CDC presentation has a chart showing that there is a greater risk of hospitalization for the unvaccinated but they chose to use the next slide titled: "Increasing percentage of vaccinated persons among those hospitalized in COVID-NET".

- I could go on but I don't want to waste any more of my time on this
> There will never be a way to avoid this

Yeah, there are no perfect solutions to the problem, yet that doesn't mean tat our current imperfect solutions don't work to deter and reduce it, if anything it shows that these imperfect solutions need to be expanded upon, not discarded due their inherent human imperfection
There's no wrapper because a modern high level rendering engine doesn't expose raw graphics APIs to the user, and instead keeps it behind higher level structures like draw calls and render graphs. At that layer, you don't need the C++ API, in fact you want something to efficiently let you manage the OpenGL context state as directly as possible. And a C API is fine for that.

Basically, the amount of code interfacing with OpenGL should be fairly minimal.
Rather agree with the article, having done a lot of trial and error on earbuds - fit really does matter. Good fit actually seems more important to the sound than the underlying speaker tech, also determines how long they stay comfortable for.

Having run through a lot of earbuds, for me personally I've found the Panasonic RP-HJE-125's best (despite the throwaway price). Probably a bit rough on things, I do break stuff a lot and there's really quite little to be had between well-fitting cheap buds and much more expensive offerings (the HJE's come with 3 sizes of tips, don't be afraid to use different sizes each side).

Edit: For more bass try JVC HA-FX10's - too much more bass for me, horses for course etc.
That's the driving force behind a lot of religions and other traditions.

Chernobyl used very old reactor technologies. Fukushima had backup diesel generators below ground level. Both modes of failure will likely never happen again and can be validated through regulation.
I think some of it is pure exposure. Developing a new interest in a topic can be inspirational to build things and without adequate access to prior art or knowing the right search terms can leave you lost and ignorant.

We tried to keep it minimal. All you need to do is specify the format to resume last checkpoint in the spotml.yml file.
So let's say your checkpoint files are saved as ckpt00.pt, ckpt01.pt, ckpt03.pt and so on.
You can configure checkpoint regex file format ^ckpt[0-9]{2}$
and spotml resumes by picking the latest of it.

For detecting if the training process is still running or errored out it registers the training command pid when launching the task and then monitors for the Pid for completion. It also registers and monitors the instance state itself to check for interruptions and resuming.
Agree with some of that. It is a concern when an elected official, with no other source of income, becomes wealthy in office. But their leading bullet point isn't about that. It's a billionaire, who _then_ ran for office. It's very clearly trying to equate wealth with wrong-doing by association and implication, without any specific claims or substantiation. And it undercuts the story where it is cases of bribes, theft, and corruption.
I assume for most people what you said is how it works.

I change it up by assuming everyone is a dumbass but just informed on their one subject matter. Rare to meet people who are good at multiple things or, more importantly, good at learning multiple things. Usually I take smarts as being your ability to learn - not your amount of deep knowledge on one subject.

Fortunately, it’s easier than ever to be smart. We have an amazing assortment of great teachers online that do it all for free in a variety of formats that are accessible. Sadly, feels like relatively few people access the information.

Not sure what is the problem. You lied to them and they lied to you.
I'm so confused by this use case (the traffic-saving one, not the malicious URL classifier). Why not store the "is-paying-customer" bit in a cookie?

What are we using as the user identifier? Where does it come from, if not a cookie?

Also, this client-side bloom filter kind of leaks your user database, supposing it's keyed on email addresses and your adversary has a gigantic list of email addresses, or is patient enough to enumerate them.

One thing the article doesn't seem to address is why these cuts are happening? What motivates a streaming company to go out of its way to re-shape the aspect ratio of a film? It is totally possible to re-digitize film without changing aspect ratio. Look at the re-done Star Trek TNG Blu-rays, they're amazing and with the original aspect ratio preserved. All widescreen TVs I know will play 4:3 content perfectly fine. Is there some technical reason that a 4:3 video can't be streamed?
I live on the West Coast and have only been to Boston once, many years ago. But the few articles I've read on bostonmagazine.com have really impressed me. Might there be a few conservatives on staff? They don't seem to have the progressivist obsessions of many other magazines -- which is surprising in a magazine based in one of our most liberal states.
I'm certainly not trying to imply that capitalism is more or less peaceful than it was in the 17th century, I guess the main point that I'm trying to make is that corporations exist to generate profit, they never really existed to improve society.

A lot of the shifts towards a more humane version of capitalism came through outside forces like organized labor (i.e. the 40 hour workweek, the establishment of child labor law, etc.). These were not things that corporations volunteered, it took lots of people threatening to stop the system in order to achieve many of the benefits we enjoy today. We'd still be working 7 days a week starting as small children if those outside forces didn't establish many of those fundamental changes for us.
Oh wow that's rather simple and works with more configurations than I expected. Thanks.

I think you have nothing to fear. I'm all in favor of breeding genetic disorders out of the species and there's a whole bunch we can eliminate before we get into murky ethical territory. Religion can bite me on this one.

But also, take a look around you. The species isn't going to optimize for intelligence. It's going to optimize for looks. That's just how we're wired. And that will destroy a lot of plastic surgeon jobs.

Day 4: So now the effect is fading, but on days 1-3 I was in full control. I did everything I have ever wished my productive self would do (read whole book, walked 8 miles, went to bed at 10pm...). I didn't need will power as alternative thoughts were just absent. I was in 'do' mode 95% of the time, no thinking/stalling.. i.e. I should take a shower.. I got up and did, no willpower needed.. my body started to feel exhausted from doing right things all day.. but it didn't cause internal debate at all. It wasn't like I lived a 100% productive life in those days, but I did what I choose to, 100% easily. No fighting yourself, no negative feeling (regret, self pity, desperation, anxiety, etc).. ex: I decided to watch a movie, then mid way I decided it's too late and should go to sleep. I did just that.. didn't fight the urge to let it finish because that urge was so weak that didn't even need willpower. It was beautiful, albeit bit zombie like couldn't really think deep thoughts. On day one I could have been told to draw straight lines for 8 hours and I'd have not felt bored, tired, and agitated. Is this what Adderall feels like?
Well is fairly normal to see someone being shot in a movie. That is a realistic way to die. An unrealistic way to die to me is someone saying the Avada Kedavra curse in Harry Potter.
Even action movies for kids are relatively realistic in the way someone dies. Just to put things in perspective, think about the amount of blood you see in movies versus the amount of semen seen in movies.
But let's skip movies for kids. Let's talk about adult movies:
No Country for Old Men Rated R 17+: the villain strangles a policeman from behind. That scene is as realistic as they come. It haunts my dreams.

You can also avoid a fight by de-escalating or just walk-away which is the best option in real life but is barely portraited in movies.
Anecdotally, I'm double vaccinated and I caught it after the schools went back. I am currently infectious, have a head cold and a low grade fever that I fix with tylenol occasionally. I will be happy with that.

Thank you pfizer!

The vaccinated cases are going up, presumably because we weren't protected against delta, but I, as far as the medical people know, have antibodies for delta and whatever was in the pfizer jabs that I got

I wonder if this is where technological evolution will stagnate, when most people research an already solved and proven topic and nothing new happens, I saw some science YouTuber say development is still accelerating, wonder for how long until the next breakthrough!
a major difference between continental law and common law is the intent of the law though.

If the court can prove that they did not handle with the intent of the law, it can still be decided that this is fraud. In a common law system this is not possible.
It's really long but did you read even half of it? Because:

Czech Prime Minister Andrej Babis, one of his country’s richest men, rose to power promising to crack down on tax evasion and corruption. In 2011, as he became more involved in politics, Babis told voters that he wanted to create a country “where entrepreneurs will do business and will be happy to pay taxes.”

The leaked records show that, in 2009, Babis injected $22 million into a string of shell companies to buy a sprawling property, known as Chateau Bigaud, in a hilltop village in Mougins, France, near Cannes.

Babis has not disclosed the shell companies and the chateau in the asset declarations he’s required to file as a public official, according to documents obtained by ICIJ’s Czech partner, Investigace.cz. In 2018, a real estate conglomerate indirectly owned by Babis quietly bought the Monaco company that owned the chateau.

Sounds like at the very lest it was unreported. We have half the story, which in a lot of cases sounds like fraud. The other half of the story is in tax documents.

ETA: The other thing is a lot of these people have the power to fix these systems that enable corruption, and like Babis, publicly say they will. But are they going to fix the system if they're using it?
This varies by what you consider a lower bound of "wealthy", but at the lower end, comfortable living requires surprising amount of work to maintain.
Well, still. Columnar and document stores still profit from performing joins under their hood.

Whenever you are combining two partial query results into a coherent whole answer you need to perform some form of join.

For example you could view a MongoDB map-reduce step with a subquery as a naive indexless scan join.
so they could keep pour money into whatever makes their voters happy
It literally says in the video I linked to that they're using the pre-vis to determine what the plot should be. If that's possible, then I don't see anything even remotely absurd about the idea of creating a market to license pre-vis.

Now obviously you're not going to be able to user Spider-Man pre-vis if you're making something like Schindler's List, but exploring and facilitating different licensing models seems absolutely worth doing.
I'm really suspicious about whether this would really work out in most workloads.

On modern architectures, it's the random memory reference that kills performance. Predictive pre-fetching in the pipeline has a impossible time figuring out what to get ready in the caches with random lookups; it's not like a linear sweep. This style of bloom-filter needs to be quite large, and it pulls only one cache-line in per key lookup, both of these properties make any opportunistic (non-prefetched) caching less effective.

I wonder if real-world benchmarks would prefer a more memory dense lookup that pulls in multiple lines; just because it keeps the cache-lines hotter and less likely to be evicted. On the other hand, writes to this kind of bloom filter invalidate only one cache-line, so that's good. So I'd guess it's all very very workload dependent. Ultimately it depends on cache pressure and how over-subscribed the cache is and the ratio of writes to reads, and the distribution of keys; an implementation might also fare very differently on a system like Graviton2 (which has huge caches) than on a small Xeon.

Amazing, his recent comment appears to indicate that he does have sentience after all! He almost looks like a _______. But of course he's just a lowly human. ;-)
I don’t agree with a lot of this article. I think the font looks excellent, I appreciate coherencies across a brand’s design, and most of all, I think the purpose of a score indicator over a football game is to tell you the score, and get out of the way.

That being said, these are opinions, and I’m glad there’s someone else who pays attention to the design language used by football broadcasters.
Sure, in our own startup, we used to spend roughly $1000 for training a StyleGAN model for a class and then additional latent space manipulation models.
In the early days we recklessly wasted a lot of our AWS credits during experimentation.
But later on with spot instances were able to bring it down to $250 to $300 per category class training which was more bearable as cost.
This was my experience as well. Every single historian I know has piles and piles of books currently checked out from the library. And boy howdy are they unhappy when the books are recalled to be lent to somebody else.

Yeah, let's do what we can to reduce genetic diversity, weeding out the bits of code that we don't understand. Never mind the rapidly changing climate. Sounds like a great plan.

edit: the comment about plastic surgery is really weird. Do you think that 90% of humanity is going to stop breeding just because they aren't as attractive as the other 10%? And who's paying for plastic surgery? From my understanding, it's that vain 10%...

Sure, I'm not trying to argue that VOC was the very first company. Companies of various types date back to the silk road. But large-scale corporations were largely conceptualized during mercantilism and their history is inextricably tied to colonialism, which can't be overlooked when people start saying things like "corporations were created to help society." They helped some people, but they also wiped out entire populations (see the Banda Islands).
For effective testing in Go:

- Don't unit test so much (or expand your definition of "unit", or whatever semantic difference you prefer). Test functionality. (Unit tests can still be appropriate for large classes of complicated pure functions, e.g. parsers, but these don't require mocks.)

- Don't mock so much; rather, stub (or mock if absolutely necessary) at lower levels. Use the httptest server; use the sqlmock or sqlite drivers; use a net.Conn with canned data; etc.

Wasn't there a class action lawsuit a year or two ago asserting that Maille was Made in Canada but the labels led 60% of the people to believe it is Made in France.

I feel like whenever I see a previously foreign brand show up on the shelves of Costco, I know they sold out to some billon dollar conglomerate and taste and quality are never the same, e.g. Galbani Mascarpone - used to be difficult to find and was imported from Italy. Now you can find it at large retailers, says "No 1 in Italia," at times it is plastered with the Italian flag and is usually made by Lactalis, its parent company, in your regional production facilities. You can taste the difference.
C can interop with anything.

There are higher level graphics libraries on top of OpenGL, Vulkan, Metal, WebGL & DirectX, for example bgfx or sokol, but IIRC they still go C style for the same reason. Then there are language-specific libraries that will be idiomatic, like wgpu for Rust. Finally, you reach entire very opinionated game engines at various levels (Unity, UE, Godot, etc).
