It sounds like you're offended by the author's other/different opinion on the matter.

I see a significant amount of irony in someone getting very upset ("I hate", "fucking pc", "fuck off") over what someone says because they think that people should get less upset over what other people say.
Richard Hanania and Rob Henderson Discuss “Parasite” [video]
The Swords of Armageddon was only ever available digitally (first on CD-ROM, then as download). Hansen's widow used to sell it after his death but she is no longer responding to sales requests. Or at least mine was ignored early this year. You can find it on Library Genesis.

U.S. Nuclear Weapons: The Secret History is sadly missing from LibGen, but it appears to be available as a digital checkout from the Internet Archive. It's a good companion book to Swords because it went through a professional editing-publishing cycle. Swords is a lot longer and rawer, with a higher ratio of text to illustrations.

Third parties are true innovation for sure, but the specific examples cited in the article weren't necessarily innovative IMHO.

Crypto, (and I'm really not a fan) is at least doing some objectively innovative stuff. However it's not really linked with traditional fiat so isn't applicable broadly.
I doubt it, except perhaps as some sort of re-analysis. See "The Awful German Language" (https://faculty.georgetown.edu/jod/texts/twain.german.html) starting from "To continue with the German genders:"

Edited: I guessed wrong, see Tagbert's answer. It was Norse contact (erm, the ones in the north, not the Normans who were French-speaking ethnic Norse people in the south).

I thought it probably had more to do with the influence of Norman French. The Germanic gender and declension system couldn't survive the influx of French lexicon, as the two languages with completely incompatible grammar and genders coexisted and eventually merged into a new frankenlanguage.

There was a recent article I can't locate right now claiming that for some period of time, English scribes writing late middle English (?) used to add an extra 'e' (and maybe more endings) to various words following old grammatical rules that involve knowing the gender and case, but began to forget the rules and eventually it decayed into randomly adding 'e' to sound smart, which is the basis of modern joke forms like 'ye olde shoppe'.

As an English speaker it's interesting to compare with some of our closest cousins that have also lost a grammatical gender or two:

I don't know too much about Dutch, but as far as I can tell they went from the 3-gender German system to the 2-gender common/neuter system (like Scandinavia, yellow in the diagram) in the last few hundreds years, but their language is still full of frozen phases from the 3-gender system. I wonder, can a modern Dutch speaker actually create new phases using the words 'ten', 'ter' (= German zum, zur, "to the"), 'des', 'der' and maybe more? You'd have to know if a common gender noun was masculine or feminine, but I guess, unless you also know German, you won't be able to do it.

I believe the Afrikaans language of South Africa, a dialect of Dutch, is down to just one gender. IIUC they had to give up using Dutch school books some time in the past century, because (vast over simplification, I'm sure) they couldn't remember if nouns were common or neuter. I wonder if they also have frozen phrases that reflect the 2-gender, and perhaps even 3-gender grammar of the ancestral language.

The Scandinavians have a few pockets of dialects that still use 3 genders. I'm not sure how they maintain that, given that, as far as I know, the prestige forms and most literature are down to 2!

AFAIK the last people to speak a cousin language with more than one gender in the British Isles were the Norn speakers, who maintained a 3-gendered Norse dialect up until the mid 19th century.
Don't you think asset planting is an attack against a game's pipeline?

The author of the article's page claims the hash is not cryptographic but actually goes on to make security claims about the hash. People who do not understand cryptography should be careful about making such claims. The author appear to understand this more than your comment demonstrates.

For example, a claim about change detection is a cryptographic claim of detecting preimage attacks. In a threat model, a security professional would determine whether a first preimage or a second preimage attack is what should be guarded in attack scenarios. Then, the professional would help with analysis, determining mitigations, defense in depth, and prioritization of fixing the vulnerabilities exposed by how the hash is used.

A hash cannot be considered standalone. It is the architecture and use-case where the hash's security properties are used to determine what security properties of the application are fulfilled.

So, if the author is correct, which seems to be the case, then meowhash should not be used in a production environment outside of the most simplistic checks. It seems faster for its intended use case to simply check for a single bit difference between two images - no hash required.
Am I the only one thinking Zuckerberg, like Bill Gates, was good at creating a monopoly, but had no taste or ability to do anything else?

It's like these people can't just do a good job of providing a simple thing people want/need, they want to believe they can do something big. They can't, and they won't, but they will waste billions of dollars making other fools believe it.

DuckDB's storage format has similar advantages as the Parquet storage format (e.g. individual columns can be read, partitions can be skipped, etc) but it is different because DuckDB's format is designed to do more than Parquet files.

Parquet files are intended to store data from a single table and they are intended to be written-once, where you write the file and then never change it again. If you want to change anything in a Parquet file you re-write the file.

DuckDB's storage format is intended to store an entire database (multiple tables, views, sequences, etc), and is intended to support ACID operations on those structures, such as insertions, updates, deletes, and even altering tables in the form of adding/removing columns or altering types of columns without rewriting the entire table or the entire file.

Tables are partitioned into row groups much like Parquet, but unlike Parquet the individual columns of those row groups are divided into fixed-size blocks so that individual columns can be fetched from disk. The fixed-size blocks ensure that the file will not suffer from fragmentation as the database is modified.

The storage is still a work in progress, and we are currently actively working on adding more support for compression and other goodies, as well as stabilizing the storage format so that we can maintain backwards compatibility between versions.

TikTok is the epitome of content augmentation through engagement. They literally will push more and more of what you're engaging with. Their algorithm is highly optimized to put you into very deep rabbit holes of content.

During the BLM protests you could see two very different feeds depending what content were you liking and engaging with. After a few minutes of browsing it would literally feed you only pro-BLM or anti-BLM. No middle grounds.

I contacted the "you've blocked my account in error" service twice, submitted documents - didn't hear anything back.

This entire rebranding is just a stunt to steer away from the mess Facebook creates in our society - it's still the same people in charge, even worse the Facebook people are moving more and more over to RL teams - so absolutley nothing will change, it will actually get worse as Facebook culture takes over.

The author outlines many problems that you'll run into when implementing a persistent storage backend using the current browser APIs.

We faced many of them ourselves but paused any further work on an IndexedDB-backend due to the lack of synchronous IndexedDB apis (e.g. check the warning here https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/IDBDatabase...).
He bypasses this issue using SharedArrayBuffers which would lock DuckDB-Wasm to cross-origin-isolated sites. (See the "Multithreading" section in our blog post)

We might be able to lift this limitation in the future but this has some far-reaching implications affecting the query execution of DuckDB itself.

To the best of my knowledge, there's just no way to do synchronous persistency efficiently right now that wont lock you to a browser or cross-origin-isolation. But this will be part of our ongoing research.
Bayesian confidence interval is an estimated range of the difference if it exists, while P value is the chance that a difference exists at all.

E.g. you could do a study and find:

Men are taller than women on average P= 0.001 ( extremely likely) BCI = 5-10 inches taller
I have an opposite impression of the work divide between millennials and Gen X (assuming by "boomers" you meant Gen X; the word seems to have stretched to encompass everybody before the millennials.) To me as an Xer, the millennials seemed very hardworking, incredibly polished for their age, always put together, plagued with anxiety about how perfect they needed to be, and confused that the Gen-Xers above them in the org chart weren't always perfectly put together, didn't always have a perfect outfit, took the occasional Friday off so they could have a long weekend, etc.

So this article fits with my experience of the millennials being neurotically driven to be perfect and hit every corporate expectation, and finding themselves anxious around a generation that is more self-assured and blasé towards work. The big difference is that now the other, less driven generation is younger and more current than they are.

We should distinguish the field of physics, which is a human study, from the world, which it attempts to map or model on a fundamental level. We can say biology and chemistry are made up of the fundamental stuff of the world which physics seeks to understand, but that's different from saying chemistry and biology are just the science of physics. We have different domains for a reason. How that cashes out in the world itself are metaphysical questions of ontology, emergence, reductionism, mereology and Platonism/universals. Also the status of causality and laws of nature.

But then again, philosophy is also a domain of human inquiry. The world is just whatever it is, however we think it best to describe. Problem is that our different domains of descriptions and questions don't always fit easily with one another. So to say it's all just the domain of physics is to mistake one map for the territory.

>The LACK of operable windows in a bedroom is generally a REQUIREMENT on a skyscraper / residential condo tower for safety reasons. They worry about kids falling out etc.

Can you explain more on this point? Because tall buildings not having windows that open because children might fall out of them sounds completely ridiculous to me. Some of the Soviet commie blocks were 16 storeys tall and obviously the windows can be opened.

What are the other reasons why this restriction would be in place? I'm genuinely curious.
That's more or less every large organization then.
1/135 cycles per byte on Skylake is just plain impossible, even if the hash consisted of simply one xor per 32 bytes of input.

The lower bound for CLHASH would be the cost of one carryless multiplication per 16 bytes of input, or in other words 1/16 ~ 0.0625 cycles per byte, since you can only issue one such multiplication per cycle.

> Wow. I am speechless. I can't understand how a society can accept a practice like that.

I hate to be glib about it, but that's Modesto for you. Most of the towns in that area are ran in that way.

It's especially bad when it comes to corruption and criminality within the police, because they face next to no accountability from higher up the political ladder (they are essentially untouchable by the state and federal government), and because ~half the local voters will unconditionally support them, and because there's only so many political fights the other ~half will get into.
This building is being built in an area with some of the STRICTEST fire codes in America - just in case folks reading get the wrong idea. In fact, condo skyscrappers are in my view much more risky (the time to exit a 50 foot skyscrapper can be very long).

Compounding this, historic building in CA was sometimes very poor by modern standards (all wood tinder boxes). So this may very well be a major upgrade in safety over existing housing stock.
> Free-as-in-beer banking

If you think your banking is free just because you don't explicitly pay for your credit card or your checking account you are seriously deluded.

Banks have injected themselves into the stream of payments for goods and services and are now getting cut of almost every your transaction. They have architected entire process very cleverly so that you, the consumer, do not need to be aware of the amount of money you are paying and the merchant, service provider has no way to protest.

It makes sense for them to reduce the visible part of the cost to 0 just to get you lulled into sense of everything being free. Banks want you to think so. Most people are inept at how banks are making money and for banks this is how they like it to stay.

In reality, you pay hefty tax on every purchase you make with a credit card which is costing you way more than you would accept if that sum was to be paid in monthly installments.

I have been working for banks and credit card companies for the best part of the last two decades.
