If I were to make a serious point it would be this: sometimes a machine learning model shouldn’t be optimised for accuracy, it should be optimised for teaching humans an effective policy. Often those are the same goal, for example in opening preparation in chess. But often they’re not, and just having 1000 fans suggesting lines from Stockfish without really thinking about a position or its human contestants isn’t particularly edifying for me. It feels like shopping for great art based on the price tag alone.

So yes, I agree with your second point, the engines/metrics/stats could be doing more here. Just relying on the evaluation at ridiculous depths isn’t very interesting, and I don’t believe those scores necessarily translate to a very good chance to win. 33 Rcc2 would have been very hard to calculate and involves a double pawn sacrifice. 36… Bxb4 probably was the move most humans would have made but I’m still not convinced Nepo always wins from there. I’m sure there were other swings I’m forgetting. But outside of “this line exists at depth 30 if you see it” there’s a lot to learn about the components of that evaluation, like mobility and king safety etc that do mirror some of the human thought process and which you can apply yourself. I’d love to see more detailed metrics like that, especially if they could capture why the humans felt it was a very good Catalan for white with lots of options, and not just zeroes. But as of today, I’d rather hear what Kramnik thinks than Stockfish. And the difficulty of holding a position is far more accurate coming from humans than the machines (game 5 for example). Even when the computer thinks there’s only one move in a position, that’s often based on the opponent playing perfectly to a great depth afterwards.

I don’t want to sound too much of a curmudgeon here, I like engines, I write my own and of course I have Sesse and my own copy of Leela open most games. But I think too often they short circuit one’s brain, and I’ve found my enjoyment increases when I follow the human thought process and not the machine one. I’d love to see a richer synthesis of the two though!
I believe there is a library that can generate type-state machines for you in Rust, ie. you don't have to code it by hand.

Yeah there are a bunch of tools like this - I'm using Aviatrix at the moment for a bunch of hosts:

* Incoming access is allowed to "stuff" when connected to the OpenVPN host.

* Outgoing access to services is very heavily restricted.

* Outgoing HTTP/HTTPS requires the site to be on an allow-list. By default all outgoing HTTP/HTTPS traffic is denied.

(We might add yum-repositories to the allowlist, or permit access to the various "Windows Updates" services, for example. But all other downloads from remote sites would be denied.)
My personal conspiracy theory of all this is as follows.

Some interesting events and their timelines:

One of the activist investors from Elliot Management who was on the board stepped down in April earlier this year. [0]

Separately, Twitter got some bad press earlier this year in August, mainly around Dantley Davis[1]. Dantley Davis is also leaving as per [0] but back in August/September Jack, in the face of the bad press around Twitter and Dantley specifically, stood up and backed Davis.

My theory is that the board was trying to replace Dorsey earlier this year, and struck an agreement for him to do so by end of year or early in 2022. Part of that deal included the activist investor from Elliot Management to first step down.

In August once the NYTimes story broke about Dantley, the board sought to accelerate the plan.

Now we see Dorsey and Dantley leaving - along several other executives.

I'm convinced there was a big fight for control over twitter at the board level and that it was a fight that Dorsey lost first in April, and again in August. I'm sure there were several other issues not publicly reported that pushed the board in this direction (poor company performance, outlook, management etc).

No.

Israel has zero interest in spying on random embassy employees in Uganda who are working with protesters there. This is purely mercenary stuff, and the US is annoyed that a podunk nowhere country got its hands on first-rate tools.
This is the first I have heard of this book, and the article images were enough of a teaser that I'm very interested in the new printing.

But, your comment about not turning off notifications really resonates. I have had ebay notifications turned on for 2 items for 15 and 10 years. 1 is for a white whale motorcycle fender, but the other is for a Tektronics 465 flyback transformer. I get quite a few notifications about that, but I keep it going simply because it is a occasional reminder through the week of the project that got me seriously back into the electronics hobby. I now have better oscilloscopes, but the 465 remains on the bench. Part of it is it has the perfect cold War asthetic for proper mad-scientist vibes. But the main reason, and the reason I keep the 1 eBay notification going, is that that project is what got me back into electronics as a hobby and turned me away from the dark path I was heading down.

Glad I'm not alone in keeping a shopping notification going for the occasional pick-me-up reminder email. You just selected something much cooler than me. ;)
> Over the next 20 years, the U.S. aims to plant billions more trees in order to restore millions of acres of scorched forest and help offset planet-warming carbon emissions. In the West alone, some 10 million acres of recently burned land are waiting to be replanted.

This sounds like a wrong goal at first glance. One of the root causes of the crazy wildfire season we've seen (along with drought) is overpopulation of trees. Lots and lots of fuel close together. From what I've learned Western forests are _supposed_ to be thin and patchy, these forests evolved with fire in it's environment - some trees seeds do not even germinate until after a fire occurs! [0] Unless a trained forester can correct me, from my perspective the best solution is to let regrowth happen naturally for best case long term sustainability.

Hi, OP here. Just to answer your questions:

iCloud functionality still works fine (contacts, calendar, photos, backups, etc). In addition to using it on all devices, I can log in to icloud.com.

I have access to my already-installed apps on my mac and iPhone. I can't install new apps or update existing apps. When I get my new M1 MacBook Pro I won't be able to install any App Store apps, or copy them from my old Intel MacBook Pro.

I can't listen to music or other content in iTunes that isn't already downloaded (and I kept nothing local, because I'm low on disk space). This one hurts the most: I will never have access to the music I painstakingly added to iTunes Match. The list of music is still in iTunes, but with the ↓ icon indicating it is only available online, and if I try to download, I get the “account blocked” error.

I can log in to apple.com and purchase items from the store using my Apple ID, but I can't apply my Apple balance to orders.

Apple said I have to create an entirely new Apple ID, I can't just replaced the App Store/iTunes part of my otherwise functional Apple ID.

I think it is an illusion to believe the COVID-vaccines are anything else then well researched. Firstly the entire brainpower of the most advanced medical systems in history had this as their number one priority at least since the pandemic — I am not a medical expert, but other medical experts would have brought forth reasonable doubts. So far all doubts by medical personal came by people who don't work in the field or phrased it as gut feeling, not as hard statistical facts or even annectdotal evidence.

Also: over 8.120.000.000 doses have been administered worldwide. If there would have been conaiderable side effects, even the rarest of the rarest ones would have shown up by now. The idea that there are delayed effects showing up after years is a myth that stems from a misunderstanding of the word "long term side effects". The long term here doesn't mean the effects show up after a long term. It means the effects show up nearly immidiately, but came to stay long term.

Any society has to weigh the right of its citizens. If a mass murderer kills a ton of people, he breaks others rights to a high enough level that the state can harm their rights by jailing them. If a person doesn't vaccinate (which in practise does no harm to them besides a little sting, as we know now) they also impact the rights of others: the rest of society has to stay home in lockdowns, businesses have to close, they potentially block the health system and endager themselves and other people, etc.

From a state perspective that has to balance these rights the decision is clear.

has my thoughts exactly (gee, I'm actually not the only one!) except usually I'm not just thinking but screaming until I have a sore throat. So, finally I agree with the Web site designer: Since clearly they don't want people to read their site, I won't read their site and, thus, just click away and intend never to return.

There is a special case of this gripe -- graphs. When I do graphs, say, in Excel, I spend over half the time just fighting the defaults. I want the fonts large, just BLACK, and BOLD. For the axes and tick marks, BLACK and THICK. I want to be able clearly to SEE the data and to READ the axis annotation. E.g., I'm on a diet of about 1500 C a day. I keep careful data and occasionally graph it. Sure, I want to print the graphs on my black and white only laser printer to give, say, to a nurse at a clinic. Soooo, I want the graph to be super easy to read once printed on my black and white printer.

The site

https://www.contrastrebellion.com/

mentions, what was it, some artistic or emotional goals? Well, it appears in most graphs that finally do make it into the content of the mainstream media (MSM), the intention is that the line for the data be an emotional expression, say, of a thrust of eureka up and to the right. So, they go for art (communication, interpretation of human experience, emotion) instead of data analysis. Graphs in papers in physics and engineering commonly are nicely done!

What is in common on many Web sites and graphs in the MSM seems to be a goal of an emotional expression instead of information. I'm in favor of a lot of emotional expression for both fun and profit. And if my Web site works, e.g., helps my users have good emotional reactions, then I will want to analyze and, at times, graph the profit, and there I care only about, call it, data analysis, e.g., information presented clearly and explicitly. To "circle back", when a site has text, I want to be able to read the text!

I know; I know: On a Web page with text that maybe artistically something or other but super tough to read, I can grab the HTML and use various text editor macros I have to rip out the HTML markup, leave the text, format the text, and then read it in my favorite text editor. THIS is what the Web site designer had in mind?
Shitty job.

This is kind of interesting, there isn't anything immediately obvious here as a clear trigger (lots of these complaints when you get into it you can see maybe what triggered).

Are we sure it was the gift cards? Obviously gift cards are often used in various scams etc, but they should have a way to allow folks to prove they purchased them.

My own guess would be maybe gift cards and overseas IP access if there was some of that, the only thing I can think of (that would be a somewhat high flag in the algo's potentially).

While I'm not aware of any formal study on the matter, I do remember them going over the subject at length in a forward observer course: the blame for the majority of airstrike blue on blue falling on the grunt calling for fire. It matched my experience as well - to the point that I'd avoid calling in close air support for anything short of a Custard's last stand scenario. This isn't anything like that, a command center continuously calling in attack aircraft on a target repeatedly identified as non-hostile - being put on and taken off of the situation board... unprecedented. Even if my opinion of the command staff was so low as to grant them a "well, maybe you are just that dangerously incompetent" - the lying makes that even harder to believe (technically impossible claims wrt speed and offshore shelling capability).
From what I have read and people I've spoken with, the games industry definitely uses Blender the most out of Games, VFX/Anim, and ArchViz. But the latter two, not so much out of isolated pockets, and usually nothing past the modeling phase. I'm coming from the studio VFX/Anim side, so I'm biased in that regards to my viewpoint in adoption.

Yes they do show 'something'. They correlate with them.

It's just a fact that chess.com ratings are closer to 'real' ratings than Lichess are. It's not perfect but that doesn't mean it's a zero-information statement either.

Interesting. I thought that Europe is depending on the Gulf for its energy, but it turns out that it is Russia.
But I guess they don't want to exclusively depend on Russia, so there must be some diversification via the Suez canal.

Interesting what will happen to geopolitics, in the event that Europe turns carbon neutral (if that ever happens)...

https://ec.europa.eu/eurostat/cache/infographs/energy/bloc-2...

"The stability of the EU’s energy supply may be threatened if a high proportion of imports are concentrated among relatively few external partners. In 2019, almost two thirds of the extra-EU's crude oil imports came from Russia (27 %), Iraq (9 %), Nigeria and Saudi Arabia (both 8 %) and Kazakhstan and Norway (both 7 %). A similar analysis shows that almost three quarters of the EU's imports of natural gas came from Russia (41 %), Norway (16 %), Algeria (8 %) and Qatar (5 %), while over three quarters of solid fuel (mostly coal) imports originated from Russia (47 %), the United States (18 %) and Australia (14 %)."
I don't care except when I am talking to people IRL -- if I talk about chess and we compare ratings, we also have to talk about site they're from, essentially only because Lichess is such an outlier.
>Trying to flee a crowd that attempted to detain him for shooting someone.

Proof that they didn't think he was a threat, not an active shooter.

He was trying to flee a rioting mob that attempted to kill him.

>Let's play hypothetical here. School shooter

And there it is, your mask fell off. Freudian slip. You're already aligning him with a "school shooter" even though the scenario you describe is anything but that.

> School shooter is bullied and hit in a fight.

You mean a victim is bullied almost to death and feared for his life. So he...

>shoots bully dead and starts running.

Self-defends himself against a violent threat and flees the site of where he was almost bullied to death.

> He then shoots two people tackling him.

He then shoots two more bullies who also try to tackle and beat him to death. All of these instances are self-defense.

>Is he not an active shooter?

According to the definition used by the federal government, absolutely not. You don't get to magically redefine terms because the new definition is better for your narrative.

>Why are you doing such mental gymnastics to lionize this kid?

Projection much? Why are you doing such self-delusion to lionize this kid? By "mental gymnastics" you mean "what a jury decided was the truth after hours of testimony, footage, and deliberations." Facts, evidence, testimony, etc. that are not good for your narrative are not "mental gymnastics".

> You can debate over whether he should go to jail or not

Which is exactly what happened in court.

>not, but the reality is he extra-judicially killed 2 people.

There's that delusion again. It's only "reality" if you want to replace what actually happened with some narrative safe delusion.

He was within the confines of the law when he legally defended himself. That is the complete opposite of "extrajudicial". Here you are again, attempting to redefine terms and words to delusionally fit a narrative.

>Doesn't that make you feel weird to defend that

Does upholding and defending the law and a verdict decided by a jury make me feel weird? No. If it makes you feel weird, maybe it's because the facts, law, and reality are causing you mental strife. Seek help.

>even if you disagree politically with his victims?

What his assailants' political beliefs are is immaterial.

Not saying I agree with the theory or not, but I think the idea is that companies don’t want to be delivering the negative PR to their investors and partners that their stores are struggling and closing, so thefts can be a scapegoat.

“We did everything right but failed because of something entirely out of our control” instead of “our business model is failing.”

I would absolutely see companies like CVS and Walgreens pulling that kind of move, though I certainly couldn’t prove it.
I think I've often seen a feature land, followed by 2-3 small PRs fixing corner cases discovered during dev-release testing. Or you agree to land a PR with some aspects left to be fixed in follow up PRs.
