If an upstream maintainer prioritizes a clean commit log in pull requests, to enable merge-commits (like I do), then if the maintainer wants to fix formatting, they have to amend commits by the PR author and force-push to the PR author's branch. I'm not sure if "Allow edits by maintainers" allows force-pushing or not, and I don't know if it's considered bad manners to force-push to a feature branch you don't own, in someone else's repository.
The title here is missing a key word compared to the source: it's stock funds that have had more cash invested, not simply stock. So it's true that every stock purchase has a corresponding seller, but the same is not true for stock funds.
Its not based on the Space Cadet keyboard at all. Its based on a different Symbolics board which is also a very nice looking and highly desired keyboard among collectors (although not as famous as the Space Cadet).

IMO its fairly faithful to the one its actually based on:

I definitely have aphantasia - it makes meditating both easier and more difficult. I don’t get to traverse beautifully intricate mandalas but I can very easily engage in focused metta without distraction. On occasion I will see a blue light that fades in and out.
I have (as best I can tell...) total aphantasia. I'm also ok-ish at chess. For me it feels a lot like imaging a map. There's no visual component to it at all, but a strong sense of where everything is in relation to everything else.

It feels a lot more like proprioception than visualization.
I'm a stupid principal and I go for 100%... when I can.

When I can't, I ponder.

I see how my design can be aided by coverage and ask "Hey, I don't have coverage for this, why did I write it?"

It's a worthwhile question. I wrote code, but it is hard to exercise easily... why did I write it?

Don't get me wrong, there is a bunch of stupid shit to contend with (I'm looking at you MessageDigest AlgorithmNotFound)
Facebook needs to recruit aphantasics for moderators! I wonder if they could even find potentials with all of their data.

If you just want custom keycaps for a modern MX board KAT Space Cadet was a group buy from over a year ago and it finally just started shipping. There are likely lots of people in /r/mechmarket that are going to be selling sets.

It has the sublegends on the top like the original but not the ones on the front side of the keycap (I don't think modern manufacturers are even willing to try that).

If you don't want to go with KAT Space Cadet, GMK has a similar set that should be shipping soon, if not now. Once again there will be people selling them on the aftermarket.

Cancer is an additional disease, and not caused by AIDS itself.

It could happen regardless of external factors, so I guess my "vacuum" analogy wasn't perfect. All I mean is that HIV/AIDS itself doesn't kill you by itself.
For what it's worth, I can't do what you're describing as your experience (let alone replacing other imagery).
Out of interest, how real are these "tactile representations"?

I've had tactile hallucinations for many years now, sometimes when I'm in bed with my eyes closed (but nowhere near asleep) it feels like something is grabbing or poking at my face, or at times that sometimes is under the bed and breathing but at a different rate to my own breathing. Especially the tactile hallucinations on the face, these feel incredibly real, to the point that I usually open my eyes at least once just to confirm.

However, thats clearly nothing I can control. The ability to be able to control that seems amazing to me
We don't mean that there won't be off-chain computation. Just that everything that is owned and interopable should be on-chain.

I'm aware that capital requirements have mostly taken over from reserve requirements over time (in such a way that the banking system is even less sound than the average person assumes), but the point I was making is that in all these these systems there will be liquidity issues if all the depositors were to try to withdraw their money to spend it on something at the same time.
No. Original point:

> QR codes aren't effective at all as a surveillance mechanism. Why the hell does the government need to monitor which venues you visit based on QR code check-ins? They literally just ask Apple, Google, or any other big tech company about your phones geolocation and IP log history to monitor your whereabouts.

This is about locating a user based on QR code scanned at a venue. All I’m saying: no need to ask Apple or Google. Your telco already knows you have been at a location at the time of the venue.
You can take an online test for aphantasia (the VVIQ, or Vividness of Visual Imagery Questionnaire) here:

How do you figure? Just the two inputs would take up all 8 digits, but you need to keep track of a bunch of intermediate results too.

The card game example you propose is a pretty apt one.

One might have any number of cards in a given hand, with any number of varying properties (like for standard 52 card decks, suit and rank). To keep a fixed size feature vector as the input for a neural net, one approach is to have a representation that treats every distinct possible card as a single input feature in the vector, with value representing whether it is currently in a given player's hand or not (0 or 1).

This of course falls apart a bit when looking at card games where multiple copies of the same card can exist. If you just scale up the input feature values proportionally to the duplicate card count, you might assume a linear effect of those duplicate cards where a nonlinear effect exists. TDGammon's representation for Backgammon solves a similar issue, a similar way, for representing how many stones exist on a given point (if I recall correctly, some version of it cares about 0, 1, 2, or 3+ as distinct possibilities, represented effectively as different features per point). Still, as a first approximation, this does work for a decent swath of games (and abstracts the ordering of cards away).

It seems like this article's approach involves a good deal of having the neural net recognize symmetries like this automatically.
Multitasking was very helpful when I had severe undiagnosed ADHD. It was about the only way to stay sort of on task. The other was to stay really late when my the mind would settle.

Medication at 40 was a total shock to find out what staying on a single task was like.
I would describe myself as having aphantasia. Anything I can visualize is basically black on black in the fog. It certainly seems to me that in describing visualizing a helicopter, you're really seeing your mental model of one. And when people describe the rare phenomenon of eidetic memory, it's more as if they're able to review the actual image in all its detail.

This is pure speculation, but it seems to me that people's mental models succumb to a sort of cartographic compression. Your mind doesn't remember detail which seem unimportant at the time, which makes them impossible to draw later. If your visualization was complete, certainly you could draw the parts, even if you couldn't draw them accurately.
"One example is when you ask people to draw a helicopter or a bicycle they produce nonsense simplifications or abstractions. Are they really visualizing these goofy versions of the machines? If not, why don't they draw them accurately."

Because they don't have the skill of drawing well. That's a trainable skill that is separate from being able to visualize things.

Just because you can visualize (or actually see) something doesn't mean you can automatically draw it well. If it did, then we should expect that everyone could draw well as long as they're looking at the thing they're trying to draw. It doesn't work like that.

If you ask someone untrained in drawing to draw a bicycle from memory, the result is what you describe: they produce a poor, loose schematic diagram of the major parts they remember. If the reason for that was what you say, then you should be able to get them to produce a much higher-quality drawing by putting them in front of an actual bicycle, but that's not what happens. Instead, you get a poor, loose schematic diagram of the major features they can see. Their crappy drawing may well include more of the parts a bicycle actually has, and so may be a more complete schematic diagram, but it won't be a better-quality drawing.

If you ask a trained draughtsman to draw a bicycle from memory, you get a beautifully-rendered drawing of a bicycle, with probably some gaps and some inaccuracies, depending on how well they know (and therefore can visualize) bicycles. Put them in front of an actual bicycle and you'll get a beautifully-rendered drawing with more detail and greater accuracy.

I went to an art school where the instructors insisted that everyone could learn to draw, and that they were going to teach everyone to do it, whether they believed they could do it or not. They proceeded to do exactly that by making us sign up for a grueling schedule of drawing instruction many hours every weekday, with a crushing load of drawing homework to do every week.

Everyone learned to draw very well, including all of the students in the photography and theater programs who didn't believe they could do it and didn't see why they had to try.

A person with aphantasia may be able to be trained to draw well from life, but presumably will have trouble drawing from memory or imagination. Many trained artists, however, can draw very well from memory or imagination. They can make beautiful drawings of things that are not in front of them, and even things that neither they nor anyone else has ever seen.

The machine that you thought stupid was an extrapolation from work that has actually been done in imaging the visual content of people's dreams using fMRI. For example:

https://www.smithsonianmag.com/science-nature/scientists-fig...

Brains can produce and repropduce visual content, and fMRI can be used to determine what it is.

For what it's worth, I can definitely visualize things in considerable detail with color, lighting and motion. I used to be able to do it better when I was younger, perhaps because I spent more time and effort doing it than I do now.
> It is pretty normal not to broadcast your source of funding for a business.

Not only is it extremely normal, but it's also a time honored tradition in good journalism and civic mindedness. In another era we called it "following the money."
In fairness to them, a lot of programmers didn't come up the way (we presumably) did - if you started using computers/programming in the 80's and building computers in the 90's your worldview is going to be fundamentally different to someone who started in 2018.

We came from a world where bytes mattered they come from a world where Gigabytes matter.

In some ways caring about that stuff can be detrimental, at the back of my mind there is always that little niggle - you could do this in 1/10th the runtime/memory cost but it'll take twice as long to write and you'll be the only one who understands it.

These days we don't optimise for the machine but instead for the human time and honestly, that's an acceptable trade off in many (but not all) cases.

It can be frustrating when you remember how much of an upgrade getting a 286 was over what you had, that I now routinely throw thousands of those (in equivalence) at a problem inefficiently and still get it done in under a second.
This is why a lot of companies use a product like jFrog artifactory to handle dependencies. Instead of trying to download files from GitHub and other random places on the internet, the artifactory is a local mirror of all of those files, with servers on the artifactory which run the relevant services such as a npm repo of packages, a npm repo of packages, and so on.

This way, if GitHub falls off of the face of the earth tomorrow, the packages still build. Also: If some open source maintainer deletes an older version of a package, replacing it with a new one with a different API, the local package will still build.

(The local build process will have to be set up to use the local artifactory to pull dependencies, of course.)
There are some licensing considerations with exFAT.
I wonder if this problem can be at least a little alleviated by simply using multiple platforms.

If you use Instagram and then your account gets taken over, it might be convenient to be able to alert at least some of your fans by posting about it on Tiktok.

Better yet, even if few of your fans are on your official site, having an official site means you're not 100% locked out of your own identify when your Insta is taken over.

Of course maintaining a website is probably not the forte of most Instagram hot-shots, so this is by no means an easy solution.

It's unfortunate that these big social media companies let people become successful without fully understanding what they're up against after reaching a certain threshold.
This may sound like a silly question, but "where" does that image appear for you? That's what doesn't make any sense to me (and why I assume all the talk of "visualizing" things was figurative for most of my life).
Generally speaking, thicker keycaps are considered by most enthusiasts to be superior to thinner ones. Pimpmykeyboard's quality is good but not amazing. Also, this is a keyboard for people that like ALPS. There's a million custom boards for people that want MX.
This seems to be an engine specific thing though. Unity has always struggled with spawning objects in big maps. Rust had a similar problem for many years.
I’m unconvinced, but maybe because I’m “one of those people who can’t” (no, seriously). How would you describe the limits of what you can visualize? Especially with memory, there’s a clear tendency for people to inject details upon recall and as part of the process of communication.
One of the themes I'm noticing in these subthreads is that some people have a really high tolerance for errors, while others shudder at the thought of a vehicle doing anything it's not supposed to.

I'm in the latter camp. The idea that the car might randomly override my inputs in error at any time is downright frightening to me. Blows my mind to see someone so casual about it, simply because they've yet to have a more extreme incident, especially given that others have.

I think where people come down on this is owed to something fundamental in their nature/wiring.

Tether is an enormous fraud and the financial reporting of the reserves has just never been up to generally accepted standards.

The thing with crypto is that much like some of these other commodity markets there's less real trading volume than many people think (there's been a lot of wash trading going on: https://cryptobriefing.com/binance-wash-trading-icebergs-tip...). Where crypto is very different from the futures markets is that you can just buy the stuff directly because the costs of holding it are much lower. Say I want to invest in oil, it's a massive pain in the ass to build warehousing to start taking delivery, whereas something like crypto is much easier for a company or individual to hold. From this point of view there's very real non-regulatory reasons why trading futures for oil makes sense whereas this is not so for cryptocurrencies.

Ok, but hypothesizing a future where a social media platform is not holding a legal or property presence in Australia, I fail to see how they can enforce it without censorship. And a future in which that platform is fully decentralized and potentially even uncensorable, they’re going to do what, outlaw math? Firewall themselves off from the rest of the world? I know they’re already trying on the former. They’re going to be in for a rough awakening when they realize they’re shutting the door on an economic revolution.
I am delighted that plains bison are making a return here. I'm especially happy that this private ranch is now a restored heritage park with revealed petroglyphs. I am not as excited that Smithsonian Magazine is giving pretend clickbait headline credence to a "prophesy". To me, it's clearly the hard work of conservationists and activists who worked hard to restore this area to the rightful equilibrium that existed for six millenia.
This advice is spot on.

Anytime I’m talking with someone at a meet-up who wants to learn gamedev, I advise them to make pong and add a new mechanic to it. If they can’t learn to do that, the odds of them making the game they envision is extremely low.

I’ve been in the industry for twelve years and have done the indie thing very successfully, and I still have low confidence when it comes to making a game that is any good. I keep waiting for it to get easier, but every time it does your ambitions increase to match.
I'm not much of a Disney person, but I wouldn't be surprised if the "no dog killing" change was more of a change in child media guidelines than the vague (and culture-war-y) psychological aspersions that the essay's author claims. Violence against animals (and children) is one of those "hard no" rules that I understand to be common practice when developing media for children. Which isn't to say that I necessarily agree with that rule.
"We're trying to avoid that hell here, and you pushed this thread straight into it."

Was it I who pushed this thread into a flame war or the other commenters?

I only intended to point out that education, by its nature, changes people which inevitably leads to friction with other people who don't like that change or what that change enables which is not new. The origin of the word "erudition" highlights that point quite well.

Nope, that's just the chemical working.
Japanese sportsbikes are some of the best designed and engineered things I’ve used. Some designs haven’t even really evolved that much since the 80s as they were already pretty much the apotheosis of a high performance two wheeled vehicle . Tires, suspensions and brake designs have improved due to (i guess) materials science and manufacturing more than even design. Plenty of engines are used in models for decades because they were so good and overengineered. Aside from the engineering side of excellent performance and reliability the UI is very intuitive, and especially on Honda the ergonomics are near perfect to the point of disappearing out from under you. Of course same could be said of some cars but the design space is so huge its harder to nail down an ideal car.
So, why aren't these just stored in a db or some other directory of the OS? Instead of littering the userspace, and no fs-ext required. Also it sounds like these should be per-user-and-dir instead of just per-directory.

That these folks aren't so forthright should concern anybody. And why should mentioning Farage be seen as disparaging by UnHerd's Daddy Warbucks? He liked the guy enough to put £10 million into getting him and others on the air, so I presume he's proud of the association. It's true I don't like Farage or his politics, but that doesn't oblige me to hide the name of the biggest star of the network that is the other major media effort of UnHerd's funder.

My best (or possibly worst) advice is just finish 1 thing, and from there you can't go back to not finishing something. I used to flip projects every other month, now I go years on one thing and don't even want to change.

I say possibly worst advice because there have been times, and I'm currently in such a time, where I'm working on a fundamentally flawed idea but can't give it up in favour of something else. I need to finish it and finish it well, even if it feels undoable.
Your answer not true. In fact, the "Wild West" is still in fact a reality.

1. Land damage as in the largest public lands system in the world?
2. Violence against women who were among the first in the world given the right to vote?
3. Violence against people that were plenty violent?
4. Cowboys spoke many languages. Your point is what?
5. Chicago is the "Wild West", huh?
6. Immigration is good, depending.

It could maybe happen if the consequences of a vendor choice are both disastrously bad and easily foreseeable. Otherwise, no, not really. The person who chooses the vendor(or their successor, in which case this whole question is moot) is probably going to be the highest-up person in the company to learn that the vendor was a bad choice, so no one with hiring power over them is going to learn of the mistake unless it spirals wildly out of control.

The quote is better interpreted as "certain vendors are mainstream enough that nobody above you is going to even question your reasoning for choosing that vendor"

No, my drawing would be quite awful either way. With a picture for reference, it might be more "accurate" in the sense of discrete details, like say it has two blades while my imagined one had four, but I wouldn't be any better at drawing the relative dimensions or shape.

In this scenario, I happened to visualize (rather accurately, after checking) an AH-64. Not some abstract helicopter concept.
That's interesting. To the degree I can visualize, it's the same for me.
