There is even a good reason for that, math-errno is a posix requirement and completely optional in both C and C++ standards. If your code is intended to be portable it should avoid relying on this anti-feature anyway.
There are some complications to implementing a power supply that works both off of battery and from the input power as well.

Random list:

Your input supply needs to be stronger, because it potentially has to charge the batter + run the device, that means a more expensive supply.

Extra circutry needed for supplying the device from either the battery or the fixed supply, this is not exactly hard to do, but it still means extra engineering, extra components and extra testing.

Thermal design can also become a problem when you're both charging batteries and passing current to the device.

Then there are safetey issues as detaro mentions
Well, yes, the Common Lisp standard library is showing its age in some respects. I think if you're aiming to use CL in production, you have to plan to paper over some of the standard library deficiencies with third party libraries or custom implementations. And then your concern is already accounted for.

(This goes for many other languages too. C, JavaScript, Java, Haskell, R, Perl -- they all have their "holes" in the standard library that need to be filled in.)
Nice read.
What I don't get about all the crypto haters, who will probably make up the majority of replies here, are they really just happy with the status quo? Do they really think the current financial system is great and their online bank account is perfect and nothing radical is worth trying? That usernames and passwords given to each of a million different companies are so great, why would people want to manage their own information?

I get it, it's hard to see past the memes and bubbles and bullshit and buzzwords in the crypto industry. But there is a very real, very powerful, politically agnostic idea of self-sovereignty at the core to all this stuff. You dictate the terms of your data and your money and your stuff to an ultimate degree.

I believe that applications that use log4j-api with log4j-to-slf4j, without using log4j-core, are not impacted by this vulnerability. (Because the lookup and JNDI implementations are in log4j-core.)

Thanks for this interesting take on potential plant intelligence.

I am reminded of some of the things touched on by Carlos Castenada in his books about 40 years ago.

And, there is an interesting passage in the biography of Geronimo, a Chiricahua Apache, where he describes using the ability to hide in plain sight by matching the background vibrations of the local plants. In the tale, best as I remember it, he was trying to evade capture by Gen. Crook's troops and they passed within a few feet of himself and another famous Apache named Fun or Naiche, or potentially someone else. I don't remember exactly but the Apache were frequently on the run during the last years before surrender to Gen Crook. (It could also have been Gen. Miles later)

Anyway, the Apache believed that plants emitted vibrations in specific frequencies and that matching those frequencies allowed a kind of invisibility mask such that one only needed to stand motionless as a plant to blend in if they could match the bandwidth of the local plants. Pretty fascinating stuff and if true it would explain many other frontier experiences where normally alert people had items, in one famous case including a horse that the owner was holding by the reins at the time, stolen from their grasp.

The natural world is at times a strange and fascinating place. Many things happen all the time that have never been adequately studied or documented by western science yet which are known by the locals from regular casual encounters.

I would love to see additional work identifying how plants interact with their environments. There is a great video I think on Hulu about fungi that goes into a lot of detail about the importance of fungi to the natural world.

Again, thanks for this casual read. It was interesting and will inspire me to re-read Geronimo's book and potentially to dig deeper into this subject than I otherwise would.
Title doesn't match link; the linked article is "13 Box Office Bombs That Are Truly Worth A Watch".
People are conflating "Defund the Police" with a reduction of Policing enforcement and staffing. Whereas, I believe the original intent of DTP was the stop the militarization of the Police by not allowing them to acquire APC and other war-surplus items. The movement feared, rightly so IMO, that having such things would allow Police Departments to train and begin to act in a manner more consistent with field battle and a less like Community-based Policing enforcement.
One thing to note is that here noise != Gaussian iid noise, so these are not typical white noise images. I think we were not really clear on that part, but for us noise is basically a random process, which takes a seed as input (plus potentially some very low-level assumptions over image statistics, such as a 1/f spectrum) and produces a synthetic image.

It is then possible to generate arbitrary amounts of these images as samples from the stochastic process - these images exhibit certain image-like structures (such as oriented edges), but are as a whole still random and extremely varied, which is good and necessary for the representation learning.

In terms of helping, though, it is important to note that we do not achieve state-of-the-art performance yet, and when looking at absolute performance for a task like image classification, using real images is still better. That being said, something that is in the paper but generally seems to get lost is that our representations work very well when analyzing data that is very different from normal images, such as medical images or satellite images.
+1, EGreg gets it :)
Learn how to work with people. Even difficult people. In fact, especially difficult people.

Learn how to learn. Learn how to read documentation. Learn how to write documentation.

Learn how to debug. Learn the scientific method, and how to propose a theory that could explain some behaviour you’re seeing, and then propose tests that could disprove that theory. It’s not a theory if you can’t propose tests that could potentially disprove it.

Learn to discover what your limitations are, and how you can improve them.

Learn to know when to not overcommit yourself, and to say “No” when you’re asked to do something you’re not comfortable with.

If you can do all those things well, then you’re doing better than I am.
The way I see it:

1. many of the people doing originating work with the tech had deep understanding of the domain it applies to (and most software engineers to do not)

2. that gets diluted by people incentivized to shill for various reasons

3. so now we're not "in search of a problem" it's just been lost amid diverse noisy communication—and it's also defined in a domain unfamiliar to most programmers, so describing it is non-trivial

4. a good starting point for communicating this to programmers might be in terms of technical capability, then working toward more specific social/economic applications from there

Given how borked the PC version is, that even key reviewers are refusing to look at it, I wouldn't call it a triumph. Not even close.
Exactly. In my view the crypto community have hijacked the name coined by timbl because calling it web4 would have highlighted that web3.0 (the semantic web) failed, at least outside academia.

Wikipedia has two articles, it’s all about the “.0” apparently, see the page on Web3.0 [0] vs the page on Web3 [1]

I’ve seen plenty of crypto community content [2] claiming that blockchain is a key part of the original timbl vision [3], perhaps the missing piece of the puzzle.

I think it’s clear timbl’s “decentralisation” point meant “not Google”. It definitely didn’t mean “not http, use blockchain”.

You’re right that there was an opportunity where we could have delivered on the original vision of the semantic web but that time has long passed and Google have stepped into that void, to become the gatekeeper of the web.

The vision of the semantic web was supposed to make every organisation, person, place and thing machine readable. Twenty years later and we basically just use it to share pretty links on Facebook.

Plug: I’m working on a DNS-based protocol to fix this, making it easy for organisations to provide machine-readable data direct to users. We launched it in the UK last month and have machine readable data for 5m businesses. US roll out next year. I wrote up the launch in a blog post [3].

Ethereum has twice hard forked the blockchain to revert the results of "code is law", clearly saying that code is only law when a quorum of powerful individuals accept the outcome. Code isn't law, "code is law" is a slogan with as much veracity as slogans usually have.
These have thresholds though, so if you're just a random person running a small forum you'll likely never feel any effect.

Is supply and demand for housing elastic? That seems to be the central assumption in this whole theory. Georgists assume it's very inelastic. They're wrong.

If you want to shatter that illusion, go drive from Dallas to Fort Worth and take a look at all the apartment buildings and housing subdivisions that are getting built.

I can see how folks that live in CA might think that assumption is valid. But just because zoning laws and the property tax regime out there are broken doesn't mean we should adopt a new, even more broken, tax policy.

No DNS based solution comes anywhere close to what uBO offers. You can hide elements you don't like. You can block individual scripts or resources in a web page, even if they are first party resources. No DNS sink solution can do that.

Browsing the internet would be an extremely bad experience for me if I just relied on a DNS sink.
That would indeed be an interesting thing to try, use real data, but only in terms of textures - so effects like occlusions, perspective, etc. would not be present.

I would expect it to be somewhere in the ballpark of our StyleGAN images, which also look very "textural", but lack these effects that are an result of imaging the 3D world. Interestingly, modelling these effects without realistic textures seems to result in worse performance - this is for example the case for images taken from CLEVR or generated from Minecraft, and both perform worse than the StyleGAN images.
Any mechanical system can be defeated or bypassed.

So, you have to look for those systems that acknowledge this fact, and work within these rules. They should be certified to resist certain types of attacks for a certain amount of time, and there are national and international standards for all sorts of these things.

The goal should be to slow someone down long enough that other measures can also take effect, like security guards walking around, or someone watching a camera, or whatever.

Look for mechanisms that cite the standards that they adhere to, and then go looking for those standards. Look for related standards, or higher level versions of those standards. Look for products that adhere to those standards, and then rinse and repeat.

Make sure to set yourself a time and money budget before you do this process, so that you don’t waste too much time going down too many ratholes.
As open source successes start to accumulate, the costs will go down. Reuse is incentivized as development on the cryptocurrency as opposed to a perpetually monetized rent extraction by regulators or "professionals."
> this isn’t about removing trust, it’s about increasing what you can do at a given level of it

I think this is at the center of a lot of arguments. The proponents come from circles where trust is a dirty word, so they don't want to say too loudly that they need it. The critics see this as an unnecessarily extreme position, which isn't the kind of thing you back down from, so they end up arguing that new tech is unnecessary/incapable when applied to this task.
I don't think many people are suggesting that the blockchain can replace all of the functions of the nation-state. I think the most common sentiment among blockchain advocates is actually closer to your views, of it having utiltiy in specific use-cases.
Yeah, very interesting... Like you could do a preliminary training that uses really good quality labeled data. Then almost infinitely continue training on a negative only dataset of random noise, which would theoretically hammer out any false positives that can be generated by the model.
It's perfectly fine to initialize them in the simplest and most obvious way.
My mistake. Nobody was discussing the media having a bias towards any political party, they were discussing the media having a conservative bias despite Republican's claim of a liberal bias. Like when the antiwar position gets 3% of the media coverage.
I did see that, but the author doesn't claim to have been there, or claim that his "nanny" saw the perpetrator, or indeed claim that he was able to find any information about the crime from any other source. So I think he's just guessing about how this sort of thing happens.

And, maybe I'm unreasonably reasoning from stereotypes here, but I think maybe a guy named "Leighton Woodhouse," who describes himself as a "progressive" and hires a "nanny" to raise his toddler, possibly may know too little about drive-by shootings to know what he doesn't know.

A lot of government databases are publicly accessible.

For example, in Austria we have the "Grundbuch", a register of land ownership. Everyone can inspect the Grundbuch database. Authenticity is guaranteed by requiring a public notary or a court to confirm any changes in the database, and there is a paper trail for every change to a record.

I've written about this on a similar post previously. The town I grew up in in Germany (Lüneburg for those familiar with Germany), turned some of the central city into a pedastrian mall about 30-40 years ago. I still remember the local newspaper being full of angry letters from local businesses complaining that this would be the death of the city centre, everyone would go shopping at the big malls on the outside of town which will soon pop up etc.. In reality the exact opposite happened the city centre is packed with people, the city is immensely popular with tourists who come from all over and many of the big "shopping centres " outside of town disappeared.

At the moment there are discussions on expending the pedestrian zones further and the same arguments are being made by businesses, it is as if nobody learned anything.
This study does not address my comment.

Symptoms included in your quoted stat include "any symptom", "generalized discomfort", depression, anxiety, headache, and a bunch of other that aren't even symptoms of covid. Anxiety is evidence of long covid symptoms? This is absurd, why do you bother to go find some terrible study to quote without having read it?
The trouble is that the systems are broken. The level of gatekeeping and lack of informed consent have made the legal system a mess. The lawyers are the ones writing the laws... for the benefit of the lawyers and the people with the highest bids.

That is correct -- by "noise", we don't meet pixel noise, but instead a stochastic process (in fact, different processes different properties which we compare in the paper) from which we can sample large amounts of varied training images.
Democracy solves the Byzantine agreement problem just fine already. I like the aspects of decentralisation that help you preserve democracy, but beyond that it’s not necessary to replace every single aspect of a functioning democracy with a cryptographic commitment scheme. It would be worse if you did. That vision of society sounds terrible.

(I can’t comment on this without noting that of all the interpretations of the name web3 I’ve seen so far, “a cryptographic commitment scheme” is the least novel idea, and the least to do with “the web” or anything related to it that I have seen. There is simply no way that is what web3 means. The author is describing smart contracts, and if that’s what it is, it is intellectually dishonest to be promoting “web3” as a new idea when smart contracts have been around for years and have had very little impact on society due to fundamental limitations like “not being capable of adjudication by a court, which is actually desirable and basically non-negotiable for 99% of people and corporations alike”. Talk about whether attempting to put better UX in front of them (a much more plausible definition of web3) is capable of remedying the basic flaws. Otherwise talking about it like this is a dishonest attempt to skirt around the debate that’s largely been had already, much like Facebook rebranding itself just as the PR heat got too much.)
I don't know much about entanglement, but does this now explain why it happens? If we think of the universe eventually returning to some kind of steady state (i'm not sure precisely what i mean by steady state), and if there are certain limited ways for two 'entangled' particles to 'reunify' (again, i don't know much but i'm assuming in some final state everything would cancel out), then wouldn't it make sense that we can only see these particles in specific restricted states?

While easy to understand, I’m constantly surprised to see this type anti-intellectualism. The fact that you don’t have the required prerequisites to understand a codebase doesn’t mean it’s bad. Educate yourself on Category Theory and functional programming techniques and learn to leverage these tools to your advantage.

Alternatively you can work in Go where braindead simplicity is the mandated norm.
Examples? Isn’t it enough that I feel like it is true?

Think about it; if others read my statement and feel it is true they will think it is true. Cops who read it will think it is true as well.

The facts might be it is not true, but if you believe the story being told... well it doesn’t matter does it.

Which story is being believed, that the cops are evil racists, or that they are good guys with some bad apples?

What story is being believed, that blacks are victims who need white mans help? Or that they are glorious victors over even oppression, so much so that the most loved president of the last 20 years is a black man?

The facts don’t matter, because we only use them to promote the story we already agree with it?

As a crypto skeptic, which I think is not fairly categorized as "hater," I think you're painting this in far too black and white terms.[1] "The current financial system is not great" and "cryptocurrency is not great" are not mutually exclusive propositions, right?

> ...there is a very real, very powerful, politically agnostic idea...

There's very little about the way cryptocurrency and NFTs and even blockchains as a concept are presented that seems politically agnostic; "you shouldn't have to trust anything or anyone in order to complete a transaction" is not a conventionally partisan position, but when you're applying it to government institutions, surely it's political.

[1]: I would say this happens a lot with crypto-adjacent technologies -- sometimes it seems like the only two acceptable opinions are "this will revolutionize literally everything, how can you not see it" and "this will destroy the entire world, how can you not see it" -- but I think it happens a lot with everything right now. That's a different rant, though.
If your tribe is one that values changing your mind based on the facts then at least that theater will be important.
