It also depends on the penalties, doesn't it?

For example, in UK, you can be compelled to surrender your encryption keys to the court. Refusal to comply could result in a prison term of up to 5 years (if the government claims that child porn or "national security" is involved; 2 years otherwise). If you were given that choice, would you fight? Especially knowing that the courts have consistently favored the government on surveillance in the past?
No, Democracy gets it wrong in both directions with more of the guilty set free and more of the innocent sent to prison at least compared to a hypothetical ideal system.

Water weight and glycogen retention. Hopefully you're taking an aromatase inhibitor as well with those T levels.
If you do 100 things with your computer every month, and every one of them has a 1/100 chance of crapping out, you're looking at a 64% chance of something crapping out on you over the course of the month

Good point (1 - 0.99 ^ 100 ~= 0.63397), and this also relates to the idea that the higher the number of dimensions (in this case features used by a given user), the more volume there is away from the middle. Our spatial intuitions for distributions in two or three dimensions do not prepare us to handle distributions in 100 dimensions.

I am doing something superficially similar :)

I’ve done prototype launches of this before, years ago, but this time around I’m going to wait until there’s some gameplay before going public. Some of the old players still follow. Maybe when there’s enough gameplay that they want company, that would be the right time.

Good point about the tedious stuff. This time I’m skipping a lot of it by worrying less about scale; eg using rsync and git for deploys rather than containers.
I think IRC channels can fit that bill.
The problem is it's mostly coverage of the Tesla "scandal" stuff.

And there is almost never any follow-up on this stuff.

https://www.theregister.com/2021/03/26/tesla_labor_law/

------

Tesla has been ordered to correct its unlawful labor practices, and its supremo Elon Musk must delete a related tweet from three years ago.

....

The decision also directs self-styled "Technoking" Musk to delete a May 20, 2018 tweet.

> Here is the tweet BTW:

"Nothing stopping Tesla team at our car plant from voting union. Could do so tmrw if they wanted. But why pay union dues & give up stock options for nothing? Our safety record is 2X better than when plant was UAW & everybody already gets healthcare."

The ruling directs the vehicle maker to offer to rehire plaintiff and former employee Richard Ortiz and pay him lost wages, and to strike unlawful disciplinary information from the record of both Ortiz and another employee, Jose Moran.

---

The issue is the follow-up and background doesn't get covered.

In their defense, Telsa points out that Ortiz was fired for dishonesty and lying to an investigator. That being a union supporter was not related (they claim) and that the person making the decision to fire Ortiz was ALSO a union supporter and they consistently fired folks for dishonesty. I'm not saying this is accurate, but it gets ZERO coverage.

Employees had taken Pratt's workday (HR type system) photo from a work/business sytem to use it to harass Pratt (claimed Pratt). The NLRB said this shouldn't be investigated but should be "a discussion between two employees". Who knows what's true, but the constant one sided stories are BORING. And many employees DO put things on company systems and DO expect company to avoid having others take them and use them in facebook and other posts without their permission.

Building a puzzle board video game (inspired by a physical wooden board puzzle) using bits to represent the board (Bitboard game design [1]). Here is a screenshot for one of the levels: https://imgur.com/a/cLIsYII

The goal is to slide the red tile where the yellow ones are. I am trying to develop an algorithm that would be able solve these type of puzzles automatically so I can provide user with hints. Can anyone provide any ideas or resources on how this could be achieved? If you look at the screenshot you'll notice that the board always has two empty cells that you can slide the tiles into. You can also pre-order the game here: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/the-setting-sun-zen-puzzle/id1...

I think many C++ devs haven't read Stroustrup's book. The intro to C++ chapter covers most of what they need to know and then the rest of the book goes into beautiful detail with examples.

Most of the C++ developers I worked with were C++ developers in name only and wrote appalling code. I was one of these developers until reading Stroustrup's book and doing my own side projects to improve skills.
The elephant in the room is that the US Congress has insufficient power to regulate stablecoins effectively, any more than they can effectively ban the consumption of marijuana in the USA.

The common advice is to take AI as needed when high E2 symptoms show up. Too many people take it preemptively and crash their E2 for no reason and feel like shit as a result. But I do have some on hand along with a huge array of other drugs "just in case" including stuff for PCT.

Pre, during, and post blood work is also happening to help monitor things like E2 level.

If your armies are already treading enemy's soil, I doubt that would matter, unless the enemy will be nuking its own land, if this even technically possible (ICMBs have not only maximum range, but also minimum ones too, and missile guidance, radionavigation, astrogation, etc is hardcoded at least in Russian missiles.)
> The greatest confusion here is found in comments like yours, which imply that the vaccines provide sterilizing immunity and stop transmission of the virus, which they do not.

My comment does not imply that. It implies that a vaccinated person is less likely to spread it than an unvaccinated person, which is obviously true, given that the vaccine significantly lessens the chances of having it (if you don't have it, you won't spread it), and even for those who do get sick, it lessens the severity of the symptoms (a person coughing mucus and spit everywhere is more likely to spread it than someone who just has a fever).
I love reading about rendering methods because it's so visual and interesting. Still neat to see a reproduction without exposition!
I don't know exactly the US story, but the UK has forced operators to remove "5G" huawei equipment. This becomes pretty farcical when you realise they are still allowed to use it for 4G (and indeed most 5G configurations bands 4G+5G signals together), and they are used in nearly every single fibre to the cabinet deployment (and at least some of the newer FTTH).

It's clearly political. If it was a real threat then they'd be forcing operators to throw at all Huawei equipment, OR banning future installs, but at getting them to trash just 5G equipment is a political stunt, IMO.
> Many things heralded as the best thing since sliced bread in presentations and video tutorials are hardly every opened, let alone used.

This reminds me of something I heard once... that the first half of Portal (the video game) is basically a giant playable tutorial, and that a lot of video games start off with a tutorial disguised as gameplay, and that this is actually pretty pleasant.

The world's gotten pretty good at crafting tutorials disguised as gameplay. Could we do this with dev tools? Has anyone tried to make "VSCode: the game"?

Maybe "tip of the day" popups could be restructured as minigames?

Possible hurdles I can think of off the top of my head:

- a fancy tutorial probably runs into exactly what the author mentions on the next few lines: that adding more documentation doesn't fix things, because most people don't go to the documentation.

- In a game it's very easy to tune the tutorial to what you'll later encounter. A dev tool tutorial... every dev's needs are different. I imagine you'd have to structure it as a tutorial for "core functionality", plus separate tutorials for each extension.

- In the game context, I'm expecting to do certain actions repetitively. This has the side-effect of refining those skills. In a dev context, repetition is often considered a smell (though, I'd argue even in dev work we pick up a lot of little katas without thinking about it).

- Harping on repetition some more... what about the debugging tools that I only need to use once in a blue moon?

You might be surprised how limited some otherwise very competent people's understanding of dev tools is. Console being such a primary example probably isn't an accident; tons of people don't know what it's capable of.

I suspect people don't RTFM because frankly there are so many Ms to R. It's overwhelming at times.

Many carpenters can get by without learning little tricks here and there while still being excellent carpenters overall. I think it's the same in software. We tend to focus on doing what we know best, and sometimes that means we skip the odd manual here and there.
Cherry-picking restrictive (and, might I say, somewhat off-topic?) policies doesn't change that some form of postal voting is associated with national freedom and wealth, which is both an image I imagine that we'd like to project and a reality level-headed lovers of democracy support. Japan has it. Australia has it. The UK. Canada. Germany. It's a good thing.

Many foreigners recognize this, just as they recognize the truth that "liberal election workers and would-be reformers" ARE the good guys, because they are not bombarded with cynical, horse race-style coverage of the minutiae of our collective political life. When they learn of our goings-on, they usually receive facts, like:

There has been no widespread election fraud in American federal elections at any point in living memory.

and

Certain US states have a documented history of voting discrimination.

and

A 2013 SCOTUS decision struck down key provisions of a law meant to protect people from this discrimination.

and

The conservative governments of those very same states immediately enacted new restrictive voter laws.

and

Officials have admitted that, in some cases, these laws were expressly designed not to enhance election security, but to lower turnout of "undesirable" voters.

So, if non-Americans come away with the impression that conservatives are married to a century-and-a-half-long campaign of doing whatever it takes to try to restrict voting along lines of identity (sex, race, class, location), and that liberals are the ones trying to get the citizens, of a country that prides itself on its free and fair democracy, to... vote? It would be an accurate impression. It would be the truth.

You completely ignored the bulk of my reply, probably because there's no getting around the fact that American conservatism, historically, radically diverges from liberalism on voting rights. They don't hold the same values at all, and the delineation is clear, as I'll state again:

Liberals want people to be able to vote.

Conservatives want to withhold the right to vote.

Now, you can argue the merits of each stance. I would probably counter your likely argument that undue and onerous restrictions, which substantially resemble capricious tactics of the past, run counter to the most basic American ethos, and that our national experiment has been one of slowly uncovering the diamond of liberty that is recognizing and assuring the right of all sound-minded adults to agency and self-determination and a voice in the public square. It's a really pretty diamond. People around the world think so, too. I'm going to ask you to put down the shovel you seem intent on using to cover it back up again.
Since this summer, I've been doing audio-visual work and playing in an improvisational jam band, doing over-night parties in UT, CO, and AZ.

It's really fun to play in; usually we do a couple sets for various sub-formations of the band who write songs, and then we improvise a set for a couple of hours. Everyone in the band plays multiple instruments (keys, synths, guitar, violins, flutes, trumpets, drumset, etc).

We've been having a lot of fun out in the desert. We bought a generator, put a bunch of lights and sound out in an arroyo, and stay up late playing music.

I’ve been making some art for an experimental art show called “Convivial Machines” at Museum of Boulder that just opened this past week.

How important are retail deposits at this point, with all this new QE money flowing in. It almost seems like a drop in the bucket for the big financial companies. Even if not, aren't they getting most of the benefit from dark pattern fees instead of from doing what banks are supposed to do - invest the pooled money wisely and extract a better return than individuals could?
I'm playing around with Bomberland, which was on HN a while ago.

My goal is to have the AI discover new multi-unit strategies using self-play and reinforcement learning. But so far, every day, I'm failing in new ways because this environment is really tough. Typical action sequences span 50 time steps, so the chance of discovering anything useful through random exploration is effectively 0. Hierarchical models don't work because multiple long-term actions overlap. And the state space is too large for MCTS unless you're willing to burn millions in compute.

But precisely because it's so difficult, every tiny bit of progress feels rewarding. Plus I'm positively surprised that there's still so much unexplored territory in DL RL land.
I would love this as well!

Screen Time Use Among US Adolescents During the COVID-19 Pandemic
"Overrides allow you to store local copies of remote scripts and override them when the page loads. This is great if you have, for example, a slow build process for your whole application and you want to try something out. It is also a great tool to replace annoying scripts from third party web sites without having to use a browser extension."

Overrides are useful not just for "developers". Why is this option hidden away in "Developer Tools".

The biggest "secret" not mentioned here is keyboard navigation. It is incredibly cumbersome to operate "Developer Tools" on a small form factor computer without a mouse.

Here is one solution: In Chrome's, F12 to open Developer Tools, then Ctrl-P then type ">".

Then can scroll all available commands using Up/Down or start typing and use autocomplete to search for commands. Whether this is faster and more effective than pointing+clicking/tapping on tiny screen areas, ticking/unticking tiny check boxes and scrolling around in tiny menus is a question for the reader. Talk amongst yourselves.

For example, to navigate to Overrides, the key sequence is F12,Ctrl-P,">","des",Enter
This is a possibility of course, but the second claim is something that would really need some proof. It's sure fun to say, but did you calculate it or do you just want it to be true?
Stating that such a project is worth doing only if it produces other technological advances is not something I would like to be accused of, but fortunately your question does not have to be interpreted in that way.

Here is an exchange between physicist Robert Wilson and senator John Pastore in 1969, about establishing Fermilab.

Pastore: Is there anything connected with the hopes of this accelerator that in any way involves the security of the country?

Wilson: No sir, I don't believe so.

P: Nothing at all?

W: Nothing at all.

P: It has no value in that respect?

W: It has only to do with the respect with which we regard one another, the dignity of man, our love of culture. It has to do with: Are we good painters, good sculptors, great poets? I mean all the things we really venerate in our country and are patriotic about. It has nothing to do directly with defending our country except to make it worth defending.
I just like being served. The more effort expended the better.
In place though? I've never heard of it.
Maybe it was also because people were closer to understanding how things work?

I often came across the mindset, that people already payed so much for their computer - so now they feel the software they need, should be included and are unwilling to spend more money because in their mind it goes together.

(although I think, that assumption got less over the years)
The terms 'racism, xenophobia, Islamophobia, antisemitic' are tossed around casually, and, I believe used inappropriately even by institutional entities in the media, government, and most scary, the judiciary.

There's nary that much real authority on the use of those words, so we're forced to be nuanced and come to our own conclusions.

For example, there's a big difference between 'agents of Israel' and 'Israel has direct influence among the student body' - even though they kind of mean the same thing.

And of course, the Israeli government does have very material influence, the CCP even more so, institutionally, it's a real issue but we have to be careful how we talk about it.

I also don't put to much stock in arbitrary comments made off of the cuff, and I think we should cut people some slack when speaking, which is different than what they might publish.

The word 'targeted' wasn't really brought to the fore in the Miller issue, which is too bad, because that one word in particularly is strongly indicting. If the Unis press release were to have made specific reference to this, there might be a lot less hubub.
D isn't a replacement for C++ anymore than Go is. If you like it that's fantastic, but it's targeting a fairly different intersection of tradeoffs.
