Grokking LeetCode: A Smarter Way to Prepare for Coding Interviews
My daughter wanted a colour changing lightbulb in her bedroom, so I bought a Homekit-enabled one. I'll call her for dinner a couple of times, but of she still hasn't responded after that (headphones on, usually). "Hey Siri Red Alert" will start pulsing her light red.

At which point there is much grumbling and stomping. Black Mirror? Maybe, but hey, I have to get my enjoyment where I can.

Compare the number of models you've trained and the number of times you've made a negotiation, introduced yourself to someone new, reached out to an old connection. Practice makes perfect.

When you mess up a training you get a little error message. When you mess up a social interaction you get awkward laughs. People who never become good Programmers give up after the first error message. Don't give up after the first awkward laugh.
Yeah, that was kind of my point.
Read "How to Win Friends and Influence People"- its old but human interaction hasn't changed that much.

Its also just a matter of practice- as I'm sure you know from ML, no amount of reading can substitute for trying something.

I also like "Never Split the Difference"- although its on negotiation specifically, I think much of the book applies broadly to building rappore.
Title: 'Antibodies mimicking the virus may explain long haul COVID-19, rare vaccine side effects' (too long)

> Approximately one in four COVID-19 patients have lingering symptoms, even after recovering from the virus. ... The Network Hypothesis by Nobel Laureate Niels Jerne might offer insights[: ] ... secondary antibodies, called anti-idiotype antibodies, can bind to and deplete the initial protective antibody responses. They have the potential to mirror or act like the original antigen itself. This may result in adverse effects. ... The anti-idiotype antibodies can potentially target the same ACE2 receptors[; i]n blocking or triggering these receptors, they could affect various normal ACE2 functions.

Original research article: William J. Murphy et al, A Possible Role for Anti-idiotype Antibodies in SARS-CoV-2 Infection and Vaccination, New England Journal of Medicine (2021) http://dx.doi.org/10.1056/NEJMcibr2113694

Infographic: https://www.nejm.org/na101/home/literatum/publisher/mms/jour...

> The paratopes, or antigen-binding domains[, or antigen-binding region], of some of the resulting anti-idiotype (or “Ab2”) antibodies that are specific for Ab1 [the «antibody that is induced and specific for an antigen»] can structurally resemble that of the original antigens themselves [... and] represent an exact mirror image of the initial targeted antigen in the Ab1 response [... A]s a result of this mimicry, Ab2 antibodies also have the potential to bind the same receptor that the original antigen was targeting [... and thus] mediate profound effects on the cell that could result in pathologic changes, particularly in the long term - long after the original antigen itself has disappeared. // This aspect of regulation of immune-cell responses was postulated by Plotz in 1983 as a possible cause of autoimmunity arising after viral infection and has since been supported experimentally

> The reported occurrence of myocarditis after vaccine administration bears striking similarities to the myocarditis associated with Ab2 antibodies induced after some viral infections. Ab2 antibodies could also mediate neurologic effects of SARS-CoV-2 infection or vaccines, given the expression of ACE2 on neuronal tissues, the specific neuropathologic effects of SARS-CoV-2 infection, and the similarity of these effects to Ab2-mediated neurologic effects observed in other viral models

The comment on Numeric values is misleading:

> Use the _ operator to format numeric values:

> $price = 100_10;

> // $100 and 10 cents

Makes it sound like the underscore replaces the decimal, which it doesn't. The underscores are simply ignored by the PHP parser, so that 10_0.1 === 1_00.1.

You could afterwards use PHP to replace the `_` with a comma for display purposes, and I assume that is what they are trying to say.

Borrowed from java...
Backdoored or not, the P-curves (or more specifically the standard algorithm we use for them) are hard to use and easy to misuse.
djb dedicated an entire page listing all the theoretical issues with the P-curves and other elliptic curves[1], but their main weakness in practice is that they are just too prone to bad implementation and misuse.

The most well-known failure has to be the PS3 jailbreak [2]. Sony just failed to implement their RNG (or alternatively copied their RNG code from xkcd #221), which rendered their ECDSA-based crypto completely worthless.

Another famous case is the long list of JWT/JWE libraries which were vulnerable to invalid curve attacks, again completely destroying the security of their NIST p-curves (when used for encryption) [3].

Really, I don't think nobody should be using NIST P-curves if they have any choice, unless you verified your implementation yourself. And I don't even want to claim to be able to do it.

(I don't think tptacek ever said you should use the NIST curves[4], so there's no controversy there)

I mean... its still doing a round trip over the internet, right? Maybe I just have a very different definition of "ultra-low-latency".
I don't get what is the point of this submission? Just looks like a brand of regular sockets.

Is it about the modularity of the socket? Is this somehow a "new" concept for people in the North America or Europe? If yes, than that is really strange type of exceptionalism, here in Brazil modularity has been the standard for almost 30 years, you just buy the shields (with 1,2,3,4,or 6 slots) and whatever modules you want (light switches, power sockets, telecom sockets, etc). You would actually find it hard to find a non-modular socket in a hardware store.
> so these people are most likely the ones who have spend their prime years mostly indoor in front of a screen working away on code and algos, chasing that top dream job, instead of "out-there" working with people.

God damn, this is the cherry on top for an entire post that was a pile of borderline condescending platitudes.

This hand wavy advice of just going “out there” and interacting with people is unhelpful. Out where? Be specific. Changing where you are isn’t going to fix your problem. You’ll just end up going out to do things you don’t really care about or like just so you can get some interaction with people you may not have much in common with. And when you get tired you’ll just go back home and do the solitary anti-social things you actually enjoy and be your real self again. Pretending to be an extrovert will do you no favors in discovering how you actually want to socialize.

To really learn social skills, you first have to start with what do you hope to gain from having them? Then you can work backwards and figure out how to get there. Many times it doesn’t even have to involve going “out there”. Some of the most intense socializing I’ve done was during the COVID lockdowns of 2020.

Not only that, also gravity pulling on the cable naturally tends to pull European and North American plugs out of their sockets, whereas this angled design in UK plugs prevents that.

It was meant to use server CPUs named Athlon MP but they were very expensive ... but you could get 'casual' Athlon XP (desktop) processors and easily modify to ‘be’ Athlon MP (server) ones with one single connect on the top. Two Athlon XP 2000+ along with 1 GB of ECC RAM made FreeBSD run beautifully on it :)

There was so much corruption under Merkel's watch. So much for German efficiency.
It seems they have adopted California style corruption when it comes to infrastructure projects:

Stuttgart 21 has become notorious for delays and budget overruns, placing it on an infamous list alongside Berlin’s airport and Hamburg’s Elbe Philharmonic Hall.
The initial €2.5bn price tag has ballooned to €8.2bn. In 2016, Germany’s Bundesrechnungshof, the country’s highest government audit authority, warned costs may rise to €10bn and chided Merkel’s government for “serious shortcomings” in its oversight.

The FT can now reveal that in 2016 Deutsche Bahn’s compliance department received repeated warnings from inside the company that a significant part of the cost inflation was caused by glaring mismanagement and suspected corruption.
Off topic: I wonder what kind of a projection is used for the map of Europe. It seems to be very badly wrapped.
I highly doubt you average 35 km/h on a regular bike, especially when overweight, and then regularly get overtaken as well, in a city.

It's simply an average. People ride bikes in Amsterdam in their everyday clothes for work or going to a club., they're not looking to build up a sweat but to get from A to B. Recreational biking is a different story and typically brings people outside the city in less busy wide lanes across nature without traffic, stop signs or double-parked cars, where none of this is an issue.
An option he doesn't seem to mention is to build your own ebike from an existing bike. Just buy a kit on AliExpress (motor & battery) and you're good to go. Costs are between €500-750 shipped, and many sellers have warehouses in Europe and the US so delivery is fast for the most common items.

If you already have a bike that fits you, transforming it is a budget friendly solution. And if not, buying an ordinary used MTB will only add around 100-150 to the total cost of the project.

It's not difficult to do, and it's a lot of fun.
Yes, ChkTeX for instance: https://www.nongnu.org/chktex/

It also detects repetitions and some basic English language stuff if I recall correctly.

I've used it for my PhD manuscript, it's quite useful.
What's the point of this? Stuff like Stadia already works on top of WebRTC, and they can have sub ~100ms latency, where most of it is in the network, which no amount of driver trickery can do anything about. Add to this the fact that humans are generally more tolerant of audio lag, than video, and I'm not sure if you don't have video, or real-time input, how do you event detect such low latencies. If it's for musicians, as depicted on the page, you generally need to connect more than 2 of them.
Haha

There are kinda popular video(s) called "Polish Cow" which's basically animated cow dancing with this "hard song" in the background that people are not familiar with.

I bet it has something to do with this.

Probably those chinese manufacturers weren't aware or didn't care what does this song actually mean, but they just wanted to use something popular (maybe at that time)

Can someone explain to me how this is legal?

I understand LG may not want to enforce IP laws, but something illegal is illegal regardless of perpetrators being punished or not.

And to me this seems quite obviously to be a violation of international IP laws. Like I'm all for right to repair and whatnot but I don't even think the LG TOS/EULA allows you to do this? Correct me if I'm wrong.

Everything is relative and everything is a tradeoff, so I think what they are trying to say with ultra-low latency is that they have tried to minimise possible sources of latency and that make all possible trade-offs to favour lower latency.

A streaming music service might for instance buffer audio (which incurs latency) to get reliability, which FarPlay probably doesn't do

There is only one tip for you: if you are not programming, you are going to suck.

I have never met very good sysadmin which wasn't programmer at one point.

I am not talking about hard core programming involving serious patterns, DI, migrations etc. But most of the time, you should be writing good, resilient, scripts in more serious shell language such as PowerShell. If you don't do that, your actions are not reproducible and thus your output is prone to interpretations (i.e. it sucks). Plus, there is no such thing in enterprise as one-time-tasks - if you don't script your task you will have to manually repeat it sooner or later and that is extremely inefficient and error prone.
>Bike theft really is just quite shitty.

Yes, some of my wilder fantasies include a large sprung spike in the downtube that could be released remotely when you discover the bike has been stolen.
This is something I've never understood. DPI only makes sense if you need to accurately represent some physical dimensions in an image. Most of the time, you do not. You would just map it onto screen pixels somehow, most probably dictated by the UI layout around it.

Color profiles however, yes, those are indeed important.
because writing programs that automate the detection of statistical regularities in syntax absolutely pales in comparison to the complexity of being an agent actively participating in the complex interactions of semantics, embedded in some syntactic scaffold.

CodeGenX, a code generation system powered by GPT-J
Hey Everyone!

We are delighted to announce the first version of CodeGenX. CodeGenX is a free and open-source code-generation system (similiar to Github Copilot) powered by a fine-tuned version of GPT-J.

You can find details for installation and instruction on usage here: https://docs.deepgenx.com. Our GitHub repository can be found here: https://github.com/DeepGenX/CodeGenX.

I think it is important to identify what CodeGenX can and cannot do, so we know what to expect. We have found that CodeGenX works well for common use cases which occur repeatedly in the training set. It understands context and outputs code with similar formatting to your previous code using the appropriate variables. But it does not shine in places where logical or mathematical computations are needed. This does not mean that it doesn't understand any logic or math, but just a weak point of the model.

Here are some links that have additional information:

Website: https://deepgenx.com

Docs: https://docs.deepgenx.com

GitHub: https://github.com/DeepGenX/CodeGenX

Weights to the model: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1FCFLw2Svp7s8bcW6TZB83P_iwVUn2ITo?usp=sharing

Cheers!

I own bitcoin, but as an investment opportunity and solution to inflation and possible market crash. Next crash will have investors buying crypto instead swiss franks.

BTC will not be money, ever. It will not replace money as, inflation and fiat currency manipulation by central banks are features. And those features in right hands can be very useful to tip economy in the right way.

Countries inflate money to pay up foreign debt or stimulate their exports etc. If BTC or other similar crypto became global money those tools will become unavailable. No nation will willingly give up that control without any benefit in return.

I am also luke-warm on the environmental damage crypto is causing, its not black and white issue, but I fully support proof of stake. There are argument crypto mining stimulates and drives demand for renewable. But also I want to be able to buy new GPU for price lower than a price of 10yrs old car.

Crypto has a lot of gray area topics, sadly as with politics its mostly discussed only in black and white terms.

In my experience, it all comes down to putting yourself in the other person's shoes. What do they think when you approach them? What would they like to happen? What outcomes do they want?

Smile - it is welcoming to other people. Make eye contact (and learn when to drop it) - it connects with the other person.

Be careful with your language - saying "It is X" comes across very differently to "I think it is X".

Open your body language - hunched, closed posture looks defensive. Standing so the other person can see across the room gives them an out - even if they don't want to use it, having it makes a big different.

And, most importantly of all, listen more than you talk. People love to feel like they're important, that their interactions with the rest of the world mean something. If you truly listen to them and take on board what they're saying they will notice it - because so often we just get talked at and what we're saying is ignored.
I also find it an unusual submission, but here in the UK I am unfamiliar with modularity for wall sockets. They usually come as single integrated units even if they have things like USB added. The UK has very (re)strict(ive) electrical standards though.

Here's an example of the style of perhaps 95%+ of sockets you'd see in UK homes nowadays: https://www.diy.com/departments/electrical-security/switches...
As someone who has no idea what Rust is, but dabble in HN, I'm now intrigued.
Maybe you could periodically give some remote control command through one of the WebOSTV python libraries. Needs networking though. Alternatively, an Arduino/ESP that sends a useless IR signal.
Networks just suck, period. Imo, in WebRTC (which powers stuff like Zoom or Teams), there's nothing in particular that adds latency - connections can be peer-to-peer and it uses UDP under the hood, with latency optimized codecs, from that point, there's little left on the table, that can't be traced back to poor network quality.
Another cool thing about the Swiss system is the derived 3 phase T15/T25 plugs:

https://www.plugsocketmuseum.nl/Swiss_3hd.html

Our washing machine uses a T15 plug but the socket can also accept a T12 single phase plug instead.

(As a Brit, I'd also pick the Swiss plug as the best, except that the fuseless design wouldn't be good in the UK because of the 30A ring system described in another comment.)
