a) It is not against AdWords TOS provided you have permission to use their trademarked terms. Which Apple has since in the Developer agreement [1] they have been assigned permissions to use logos, trademarked terms etc in marketing material.

b) Google is incentivised to tackle abuse within their system. It's ridiculous and baseless to say otherwise. Lack of integrity in an ad marketplace very easily can translate to lost dollars. But unfortunately with spoofing being trivial it's simply hard to detect and manage abuse.

c) There is no regulation that will prevent this. App developers have signed a legally binding contract.

EU does not know effectiveness of lockdowns, tracing and vaccination strategies
Sure, that's true, but it's also true that it makes it hard to read and puts off anyone who isn't already 110% in agreement with what you are saying.
NVMe also does away with the controller knowing about the disk layout and addressing. Which may make sense for future disks and ever increasing cache sizes. At some point you probably want to put all the logic in the drive itself to optimise it (as SSDs already do)

I would expect better writing from the LA Times than this yellow journalism filled with clickbait...

There is a kernel of a news story here, but blaming it on Trader Joe's in the headline, only to retract it half-way through the story? The section with big scary words about how terrible it is to log an IP address?
You could spend 15 minutes and modify the dockerfile to accept an autoboot executable and it would actually be useful!

> Curious if anyone has come across this in philosophical or biological readings.

Yeah, this is touched on in Philosophy of Mind classes. It's just a very uninteresting and reductionist view that's probably wrong, so no one really takes it seriously, much like solipsism or the idea that we live in a simulation.

Our entire experience informs us that the world is real, that other minds are real, that our own self-awareness and sense of me-ness is real. There's no real reason to doubt any of it, other than playing clever little logical gotcha' games. A caveat here is that philosophers do write about the reality of things in very deep and meaningful ways and Cartesian skepticism is certainly worth studying.
yes, quite a bit of consolidation after the 1980s in the farming sector. culture reference: Farm Aid

Did you experiment at all with swapping out different materials? IE: using a thicker material to shade from the sun and then something else in the fall to hold in warmth. I’m debating doing something similar in my garden. In my area we have a lot of orchards that are now completely under sun canopies due to our extreme heat / sun.
No, they cannot compensate for both China and India which as the two biggest still developing economies produce the most CO2. Don't forget that Africa is projected to enter into rapid development in the next 30-50 years. The west, no matter the good intentions, cannot balance out the produce of half of humanity if that half does not want or is unable to join in.

Like the article explains, it makes sense if you can do this and reduce the amount of now 'legacy' interfaces.

We used to do IDE emulation over SATA for a while, then we got AHCI over SATA and AHCI over other fabrics. Makes sense to stop carrying all the legacy loads all the time. For people that really need it for compatibility reasons we still have the vortex86 style solutions that generally fit the bill as well as integrated controllers that do PCIe-to-PCI bridging with a classic IDE controller attached to that converted PCI bus. Options will stay, but cutting legacy by default makes sense to me. Except UART of course, that can stay forever.

Edit: I stand corrected, AHCI (like the name implies: Advanced Host Controller Interface) is for the communication up to the controller. Essentially the ATA commands continue to be sent to the drive but the difference is between commanding the controller over IDE or AHCI modes. This is also why the controller then needs to know about the drive, where NVMe doesn't need to know about the drive because the ATA protocol is no longer needed to be understood by the controller (as posted here elsewhere).
I am thinking that data races in the scenario of multiple threads accessing a global variable is sold too often, and everything else gets ignored.

While a relevant progress versus what other systems languages are capable of, it still leaves too much out of the table, that tends to be ignored when discussing data consistency safety.

Stuff that usually requires formal methods or TLA+ approaches to guarantee everything goes as smooth as possible.
> You (i.e. your body) are clearly aware of yourself (i.e. your body.) QED.

Reminds of “I think therefore I am” except a body doubting self-awareness shows the body is aware of the thing it doubts the existence of. Nice.
Indeed, ideally the controller or HBA should really just provide the fabric and nothing more. A bit like Thunderbolt and USB4.
It’s not a problem. There’s an ADA ambulance chaser lawyer here in the Bay. Just point him at the problem and he will rustle up a blind man and sign him up for Comcast and ask for the Braille bill in the way that they will be most likely to refuse. Then he’ll take care of it.

Usually he goes after wheelchair access and stuff but I think he’d jump on this.
it depends on how much those dumb devices cost. many people are price sensitive and unaware of the privacy concerns, and the less business you have the more expensive each unit is to make, etc.

Dumb TVs are the same thing. Hard to find, and surprisingly expensive for the feature set when you do find them.

I don't currently own a TV but if there was a decent dumb TV that was decently affordable and wasn't garbage I might buy one to watch movies on.

An interesting question to ask one’s self: how many open issues exist in the private repo of the various commercial insulin dosing providers? How would one judge, at any given moment, whether Company A or Company B has the more robust software? And whether Company C’s recent v2.0 release has increased or decreased the reliability of their software?
I think the solution is two fold: 1) strong anti-monopoly law, and 2) holding brick and mortar retailers to the same standard that we apply to online retailers.

I think that you'll find that most grocery retailers have nearly as large a monopoly inside their geographic area as Amazon does in the retail space.

I am using such a company for my day to day, and in my experience it is less about providing resources and more about managing everything on them.

Model versioning, training artifacts versioning, training code versioning, training and test data versioning, providing developer environment on a gpu machine, serving a model and some more tasks are very costly for a company to implement on their own using open source tools.

A manager platform that does all that certainly is valuable and I will recommend it to any new ML team.

If these use cases don't click with you I suggest thinking through working with ML models long term on a team with a big customer base. What if you introduce new data and your model does better but then later does worse than the original? what if you tested your model and it had great performance but after 3 months in production it sucks, now you want to go back to your test data at the time and see why. what if you personal machine does not have gpus? what if you need a custom dev environment? what if different customers need your model at different versions of your training data.

I think it is rightfully a nascent niche.
Some data points.:

Austria has a around 60% vaccination rate² and around 12% of the population had an documented infection³.

Herd immunity is a discussion point but scientists are undecided how high the numbers need to be. Estimates from earlier this year did talk about 60% but this number was raised and some experts even say its impossible.

Poland has just lowered its income tax rate for IT consultants to 12% (effective 2022). You could move there and do remote contracting for a Western Europe company. After taxes and living expenses, it's not hard to save 100k euros per year.
Stars used to be the what sold a movie to the public. A recognizable face and a "brand" which promise a certain genre and level of quality. Today IP brands like "Marvel", "Star Wars" etc have taken that role. So the stars have less influence. IP is easier to mange and trade, and has less risk of doing embarrassing things.
I think other NATO members do similar investigations too. But remember, most of the civilian casualties are never recorded to be even investigated. What you hear is just the tip of iceberg.

Not to mention that the US military force is also the only military force that is in the business of invasion and dropping bomb ALL THE TIME, which translates to more and more casualties.
In many of the arts, a typical famous biography will involve study and development of a great amount of technical ability through their 20's, and then to branch off from that some time in the 30's into a more streamlined and conceptual approach. They favor different things: a twenty-something will "take to the grind" because they are hungry to do so, and this often sends them on the path to a totally incoherent result - but is great if it's just a really hard puzzle and all the pieces and prerequisites are there(which is often the case in industry). Someone older may have less sheer energy, but is placing much more calculated bets and using more abstract thought processes, which is good for problems with long timelines and large scale.

People keep crapping on the Afghan Army, but it should be noted that the Afghan security forces suffered 65,000+ casualties officially (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Afghan_security_forces...).

And some estimate that the number may be as high as 100,000.

-----

In contrast, the US sent ~110,000 soldiers at its peak (2011 surge), and lost ~7000. The Afghan Army took the bulk of the attacks by any reasonable analysis.

Film is single-exposed for recording but has been multi-exposed for projection for >100 years, because a 24 fps projection makes everyone throw up (this is a first hint to those "eye can't see more than 24 fps anyway" folks).

To get a "natural-looking" amount of motion blur the exposure angle is generally around 180°, which is ~1/48 s exposure time for each frame. If you use a small shutter angle (short exposure time) you get less motion blur and things start to look -very- choppy (another hint for the "eye can't see more than 24 fps" fraction). Generally this translates to moving things being almost always blurry. This is also why pans are usually so slow in cinema films, because if you'd pan faster everything would just be a blurry mess. Another factor here is that film is not very sensitive - so short exposure times are kinda out of the question anyway. Look at e.g. The DaVinci Code, most of the darker scenes were shot on 500 ISO film and it's already very grainy and soft.

Apparent motion blur is also worse on sample & hold displays (LCDs, OLEDs etc.) compared to strobed displays (especially CRTs). Viewing 24 fps content on most displays at their native refresh rate (~60 fps) requires on-the-fly frame rate conversion, which is necessarily of poor quality. If you ever watched popular Youtubers and wondered why the heck their videos are so incredibly janky, it's not just because the YT web player drops frames like crazy, but also because you're viewing 24 fps content on a 60 fps display (they all shoot in 24 fps for the "professional look").

The reason why cinema is stuck on 24 fps even in the digital age is mostly because people have been culturally programmed to associate janky motion with quality film, and fluid motion with cheap TV production. That's all. It's an objectively far inferior format that was chosen at a time when film was quite expensive per meter, and so you'd wanted to use as little film as you could get away with. The only advantage a low frame rate has (today) is that you get a stop more light because the exposure is twice as long at preferred shutter angles. Digital cinema cameras already have base sensitivities of 500, 800 or 2500 ISO though - much faster than high quality film ever was
Years ago, I was at a huge electronics store in NYC. I wanted to buy something small, maybe 30 bucks worth. The cashier won’t bill unless I gave him my phone number. I asked him why he needs my number, he said “in case you return the item”. I told him he needs the receipt, not phone number, while returning items. He didn’t budge. I didn’t want to cause a scene, so I left without purchasing.

It is not just collecting the information, it is also treating customers like idiots and with total contempt. I never set foot in that store again.

There should be a oath (like doctors) for software professionals. I don’t think it will practically change anything, but at least it will create a tiny bit of awareness. People who code shit like this parking app should really ask themselves if it is worth it

That is a very fair point.

Would this reduce the need to have expensive and power hungry RAID/HBA cards? I would assume splitting nvme/PCIe is a lot simpler than PCIe to SATA.
JBG Properties did this in Reston Town Center, Reston Virginia. I avoid parking in any of their garages unless during a free window, and while a few restaurants provide reimbursement the number of businesses that have left and not been replaced is sad.

I work about a quarter mile away and avoid the Apple store or CVS for stores miles away but which cost less for parking.

Instead on that same ground they will allow a mini-storage or a gas station, because those fit the zoning. This is on a stretch of highway that the county and state have deemed to be “protected farm land.” I’m as progressive as they come and completely agree with the sentiment that we need to protect green spaces, but the way the sausage actually gets made doesn’t achieve any good for anyone.

Moritz Körner, member of the European Parliament, asked on September 15th [1]:

> The Commission has invested a large amount of its resources into fighting the COVID-19 crisis. It was involved in the debates on, among other issues, keeping borders open, purchasing vaccines and developing common standards for COVID-19 tracking apps, all of which were supported by EU funds. Looking back at 18 months of dealing with the crisis, what conclusions does the Commission draw in the following areas based on the developments so far:

> 1. Which national strategy concerning maintaining personal freedom vs introducing local and national lockdowns is the most effective and why?

> 2. Which COVID-19 tracking app is the most effective and why?

> 3. Which national vaccination strategy is the most effective and why?

The answer was published by Stella Kyriakides, the European Commissioner for Health and Food Safety, on October 29th.

I think early mover advantage tends to help younger people, because they try/learn new things more often. As you get older, there's a tendency to just repeat the same things you always did before, and served well. The odds of being a early mover at anything decrease. People only jump in when everybody else and his dog already did. Good tactic to avoid losing time with fads, but also ensures you won't spearhead the next big thing.
