This study is interesting, but very narrow and might not be relevant to a lot of practical situations. In particular the reverse effect is observed on other subjects, manual note taking improving memory for instance.

I think the important part here is that the “log” isn’t the goal nor something we are explicitely asked to do, but a step that comes after we experienced the work. I would compare it to taking photos of your own painting: arguably you wouldn’t be remembering a piece less because of the photo, you’ve been staring at it for hours/days in the first place.

I agree on the puff piece sentiment.

MH370 was an event that was well publicised globally, both on the day and for an extended period of time afterwards.

The argument that not one engineer / big-data guru / whatever in the whole world suggested combining data sources is simply not viable.

I would put it that it is more a case of:

(a) The priority (naturally) was speed in the hope of finding survivors/bodies/debris before the ocean took care of them.
(b) The need to sketch out agreements with all these third-party data people, alongside the question of "who's gonna pay for it".
(c) Time. Its taken the guy in the BBC article, what, 7 years to come up with something. Let's say "the world" put a team on it, you could, what, halve the time to 3 years or so ? Meanwhile you've got the world's media, governments and relatives of the deceased begging you take some visible action "now".

Why does it need to be overnight though. Cars are also parked 9-5 when people are at work easily long enough for a full charge also with the added benefit of cars getting charged with solar in many places. As more electric cars get on the road the charging infrastructure will get built. At night charging will get expensive in the future as more electric cars and start charging at night.

Dinosaurs were doomed because they were overly adapted to an ecosystem. They were evolutionary hill climbers, just as big tech is currently over adapted to the current environment. It may be years before these present day dinosaurs die out. There may be some catastrophic event that affects the environment or they may just wither. Who knows. But the signs that they are over adapted are certainly present.

Fabiano Caruana (previous World Championship challenger) has said that he’s happy to find lines where the machines have you slightly behind, purely because they’re less like to have been studied in detail by your opponent. Even with perfect recall of the first 20/30 moves in various lines, players are still going to steer away from some lines based on their and their opponent’s strengths (tough against super GMs with few weaknesses though). So you’re definitely right, I think there’s a lot of game theory here, albeit much of it settled by your team ahead of the actual match.
I don't think traditional companies will subsume technology as the article claims - big companies tend to innovate by acquisition, and VERY FEW companies are actually good at producing software at scale. I don't think we've reached phase 3 in the article yet - very few companies have figured out the "magic" of software, hardware, large scale data mining, hosting, etc.

I also don't think tech will have long lasting monopolies, unless government regulation makes it so. Who's worried about IBM or Intel nowadays? Anyone using myspace or vine? All of these were dominant at one point.

I do expect a shift in investor mindset - right now tech companies are not held to the same profitability standards, so the tech stocks are very expensive for even wildly optimistic projections of future growth. It's as if the market is already pricing in a future monopoly for these companies. Given how fragile tech monopolies tend to be, I expect a correction at some point (not a good short though - no way to predict the timing)

>fscking web apps nobody wants

I want webapps. I don't want to install everything and the browser sandbox is tightest available. Taking my apps everywhere without having to install them is really nice.
Isn't being installable as an app kind of the most baseline feature of PWAs? To my knowledge desktop Firefox doesn't let you do that without an addon like this.
You must be living in a parallel universe. On desktop pretty much the entire app industry as shifted to the web, including recently the very well-known and used software that are Office 365 and Photoshop. Most people are perfectly happy with web apps. Easily reachable and discoverable through web browsers, not using space in disk, performing quite well for most of them. They are great for companies too, reducing dramatically development and maintenance cost, with only one codebase for all devices instead of one per platform, allowing to develop apps that would have never existed otherwise.

Actually nobody cares about "the original purpose of the web". The web has included technologies to build apps very early by the way, back in the 90s.
I don't think so, but HashBackup (I'm the author) has all that and has an interface to rclone if you use a storage service that isn't supported natively.

Numerical simulations that I know of, all use steps or iterations of some type. Even if we start with theoretical infinite/perfect precision of the double pendulum, the numerical simulation will diverge from (ideal frictionless!) reality.

Two simulations of chaotic systems (starting identically) with different step sizes will always diverge (The difference in eventual positions does not stabilise as steps are made smaller). For this reason, I am not even sure if infinitesimal steps would avoid divergence from (ideal) reality. Plus y'know, the whole issue of a simulation with infinitesimal steps never making ANY progress, regardless of how fast it runs.

Therefore, I conclude that infinite degrees of precision is not the issue or solution for numerical explanation of chaotic behavior.
Yes, most people are extremely hesitant to do so, because of the probable high costs.

You'd be shocked at the condition in which people will drive themselves to the emergency department.
I hope I never actually have to use crypto as a real currency. I don't want to use a coin without fraud protection. I don't want to completely restructure how I handle security because now a stolen phone means my life savings gone.

And I especially don't want to see the entire tech world stagnate because there are basically no new P2P projects not ruined by a blockchain(That's not P2P, it's P2MiningFarm)
> Who's worried about IBM or Intel nowadays? Anyone using myspace or vine?

This statement would be relevant here if these companies hadn't been replaced by even bigger monopolies. So if facebook and apple is replaced by something even bigger, the folks who are afraid of monopolies would have more to worry about.
I adore Blender. I use it for fun, to make animation for lectures (fluid mechanics) and even as a research tool.

I’ve helped my colleagues and my students use it for a range of different applications from communication of science to the implementation of simple physics simulations to explore chaos.

It’s just amazing.
You are definitely right about the evaluation; I switched between several streams and I don't think there was anyone saying that they didn't prefer white after around move 39, despite a 0.0 eval for a lot of those positions. But part of the reason the eval is misleading is because it might be reflecting a sequence of "only moves" - where only one move can hold that evaluation and it may be very hard to find some of those moves for black, while white has lots of good moves in each position. While that is a problem with human interpretation of eval, I do not see how it invalidates use of ACPL which is an average across the entire game.

In terms of parking at a charger, yes I drive that without taking a break. I mean I’m going shopping “in the city”. But that city only has one or two fast chargers for EVs and they’re very much out of the way and a little crime ridden for my comfort. We’ve also got a whole charging station going to waste apparently because it broke shortly after being built and not being brought back up.

This isn’t what the future looks like if we’re replacing ICE vehicles with electrics. A driver needs to be able to pull into just about any commercial parking lot and find a fast charger. The most obvious would be wiring up the big box and grocery stores with fast chargers. But I’ve seen maybe a handful of those across three states.

Oh btw I’m talking only about the US. It should be a known that the distances in the west US easily exceed those in the northeast and Europe on average.

> third graders are not giving any serious thought to a future career path.

True, but they are soaking up cultural biases about career paths. 1st graders have zero gender bias in their career thoughts, when asked whether they belong in STEM fields when they grow up. 3rd grade is exactly when girls start saying they don't belong. One of the reasons to get CS going is specifically to shrink that gender gap, and make sure all children feel free to choose whatever path they wish.

Definitely - if there are lots of good moves to be found accuracy will be higher. This is why when you analyze games for suspicion of cheating you cannot look only at the accuracy figure - you have to take into account how challenging the positions are. Lichess and chess.com both do this but they do not tell us how, for obvious reasons.
He’s speaking with a great deal of certainty for a situation with so many confounding unknowns. I wonder whether such proposals give false hope to families looking for answers.

Even if he’s correctly narrowed down the area of the crash, we don’t know anything about the way the aircraft broke up (maybe it hit the water at full speed and disintegrated into small fragments that would not show up as aircraft-shaped on any seabed scan). Maybe the only pieces still identifiable as aircraft debris are the ones that floated off and have already been recovered. Maybe wreckage has already drifted elsewhere, or been buried beneath sea floor silt. Or even if they find the FDR, and even if it contains more details of what happened, it might not contain the true explanation of why it happened.
Others have brought up how unlikely it is to find a parking space close enought to an apartment building (you know, the kind of place the vast majority of people live in, at least in Europe). There's also the matter of charging 30 cars at the same time from the electrical infra designed for an apartment building - I very much doubt adding this type of load would be safe.
I really should write up how we did delimiter and quote detection in this library:

https://github.com/capitalone/DataProfiler

It turns out delimited files IMO are much harder to parse than say, JSON. Largely because they have so many different permutations. The article covers CSVs, but many files are tab or null separated. We’ve even seen @ separated with ‘ for quotes.

Given the above, it should still be possible to use the method described. I’m guessing you’d have to detect the separators and quote chars first, however. You’d have to also handle empty rows and corrupted rows (which happen often enough).

I think it’s the old school way. I took a “Basic Web Design” class in high school so I could master the art of MySpace page customization and we were taught to use html tables for most layout/positioning that’s now down with CSS. Tables are so much easier to work with than flexbox and the result is pretty consistent across browsers and window sizes without having to fuss as much. Maybe I’m just cranky and old but flexbox is the worst.
Adding millions of chargers to city streets is an insane way to solve charger shortages.

It makes much more sense (and would be much cheaper) for the govt to mandate interchangeable batteries, so you could just go to a gas station and swap out a battery instead.

The stations already exist where you need them and only need one charger for all the batteries.
Why? Can the robot not detect adjacent moving objects? Can it not detect how far away the other side of the street in? It sounds to me like it just needs better programming (and maybe more sensors?)
Definitely. The situation on iOS is much worse than it ever was on Windows. Apple is banning all competition in the browser space on more than 1 billion devices worldwide.

Antitrust legislators would surely be very interested in this if they were aware of the issue, but most of them probably aren't yet. Some people have been talking to regulators, like Stuart Langridge and Bruce Lawson to the UK regulator, the CMA.

The mister multisystem is not an improvement over the de10-nano. It's just an alternative in a different form factor to the open sdram module and the analog io board. You still need a de10-nano to plug into it.

I'm just objecting to the numbers here, you could have every person in the world tossing coins for the rest of their lives and the odds are that nobody would ever record 10000 consecutive wins.

“nobody wants”

Yeah, you’re right. No one ever wanted to use Hotmail on the web back in the 90s. No one wants to use Google Maps now. Please, please god let me have to download a native app from an App Store in order to access my online banking! It’s what the masses demand!
Hmm, Many corps, government, humans etc. aim to become bigger and global. So, there is no easy way to keep them local, small and diverse. And once they grow big most of them turns blind eye on small local companies just like how amazon is doing now.

This is a problem that will prevail forever and can't be solved easily. We can experience today too in china the government do crackdown but most of us hate it right? If they don't regulate they grow beyond party.

(Taking example of china because I don't know other country which does crackdown on big giants like this)

https://docs.python.org/3/library/zipapp.html

Using the zipapp module, it is possible to create self-contained Python programs, which can be distributed to end users who only need to have a suitable version of Python installed on their system. The key to doing this is to bundle all of the application’s dependencies into the archive, along with the application code

Does this remind anyone of anything? A Mr. Al. A Mr. Al Capone perhaps? That's right. One of the world's most infamous gangsters, mobsters, crimelords, did this very thing to individuals that Capone didn't want talking to the press, the government, or anyone else that would listen.

This is mob-boss behavior, and the US Government does this now.

Oh, how about the unlawful imprisonment of 100s of detainees at Guantanamo Bay in Cuba?

Secret courts, whose authority is far-reaching with no citizen oversight whatsoever.

Yeah the US Federal Government, since 9-11, is a bunch of mobsters with guns. There is no difference in the way our Federal Government acts now, and how 1920s and 1930s mobsters act.
