In my experience there are many lesser significant hyperparameters that can impact performance when going from the released code to your personal favorite framework.

Nothing you can't figure out by reading source code of the two frameworks or by reading the documentation closely.

Generally, people don't seem to care about reproducing exact metrics - as long as it is close enough they're happy. You need to dig a bit deeper if you want the full quality.
More important are the millions of working-age Americans dealing with sequelae from acute covid illness, aka long covid, who are now unable to hold down a full time job. This issue has been grossly neglected because the majority of medical professionals have been largely dismissive of it.

> cited as a standard or defacto package manager for macOS

It is the de facto default package manager as most installation instructions default to it if they mention a package manager on MacOS

1. It's been around for 12 years already

2. Being more recent doesn't preclude it from being a de facto default

It's not "constant advertisement". This is what being the de facto default means: people are using the de facto default and not something that you perceive as the default

I’ve been running an e-commerce store [0] that sells merchandise for developers for 5-6 years now with varying success. It’s currently making around ~400 USD/month, but I’m barely spending any time on it except for shipping orders and some customer support. A few years ago I had the opportunity to work full time on it for a year and a half and managed to grow it to a 1500-2000 USD/month, but I didn’t manage to grow it further than that and got myself a full time job again.

Tbh, I kind of burned out working on it, because I poured a lot of effort at one point and the end result wasn’t what I was hoping for.

Now I’m just trying to sell all of the remaining inventory and just move on.

Then you haven’t been keeping up with the news. European electricity prices hit record highs just a few days ago and have been growing enormously all year.

Worldwide oil prices have been going way up, we’re in a much different energy market than at have been for quite a while.

Different coefficients help you look at different kinds of relationships. For example, Pearson's R tells you about linear relationships between variables -- it's closely tied to the covariance: "how useful is it to draw a line through these data points, and how accurate is interpolating likely to be?".

Spearman's correlation helps you understand monotonic/rank-order relationships between variables: "Is there a trend where increasing X tends to also increase Y?" (This way we can be just as good at measuring the existence of linear, logarithmic, or exponential relationships, although we can't tell them apart.)

Mutual information helps you understand how similar two collections of data are, in the sort of unstructured way that's useful in building decision trees. You could have high mutual information without any sort of linear or monotonic relationship at all. Thus it's more general while at the same time not telling you anything that would be helpful in building, for instance, a predictive multivariate linear model.

TLDR; More specific coefficients leverage assumptions about the structure of the data (eg linearity), which can help you construct optimal versions of models under those assumptions. Mutual information doesn't make any assumptions about the structure of the data so it won't feed into such a model, but it still has lots of applications!
Yeah, lead wins hands down. This is a few years out of date now, but when speccing out my system I did a bit of analysis of battery types. We went with OPzS, and so far, so good.

They'd have to bring a ridiculous amount of new electric power into my building, and rewire the building, in order to replace the gas ranges with electric. I think around 1kw of heat comes out of each of the 4 burners, and 4kw is way more electricity than I have available. I rarely uses more than 2 burners at once but even still.

I think in the Baltic states this is magnified by population decrease and internal EU migration.

Population:

I think the population decrease numbers can be multiplied by 2 if you take EU emigration into account.

I see it as the biggest long-term problem Lithuania is facing. The country is not that big and crowded to begin with, and in 20-30 years it's projected to be even smaller.

Well, not really. The atomic bomb didn't really require quantum mechanics to build. Certainly not the gun bomb. That's two hunks of enriched uranium forced together. Implosion was tougher, but mostly a hydrodynamics problem. H-bombs required much more theory.
This is exactly what I did with my Playstation VR a few years ago. I played it for a couple of weeks and then only turned it on to show friends and family.

Today, though, I only play games on my Quest 2 and Valve Index. I don't even own a console anymore. Admittedly, this is partially due to console availability issues, but now that I've been using my VR systems for almost a year, I find I'm not really motivated to buy a console.

Maybe this is just a case of "settling" because neither the Playstation or Xbox systems are readily available. I'm not sure. Perhaps I'll feel differently when I can actually go to the store and impulse-buy a console, but for now, I'm content with VR.

ASN1 has a much richer type system than protobufs, and is more general in that it accept several encodings, some of which optimised for size, some for speed, some for simplicity.

I believe we could prune all the unnecessary 90s fad from the specs and end up with something actually pretty nice. I wish Google had done this as ASN2 instead of protobuf.
We have a house that was built in 1962 in the Pacific Northwest. This was a time when electricity was essentially free and homes were designed accordingly. It came with a 200 amp panel stock which I suspect would be a non-starter for a lot of people. Having grown up with gas, it was not nearly the as tough a transition as I thought it would be. Most of the efficiency upgrades are simple to do or have done over time. Swap out a water heater one year. Replace resistance heat with heat pumps the next. We have been driving two electric cars for several years and our monthly energy bill is 160-400 a month depending on the time of year.

I should add we are the benefactor of incredibly low grid rates (.11 per kWh) making the math workout very nicely.
Can you explain in more detail why this can't be updated online?

We can track the rank of newly sampled pairs in LogN using something like an order statistic tree:

It isn't SF Bay Bros'/foreigners'/companies' fault that houses are too expensive. It's because of strict zoning laws and a lack of building enough housing to match supply with demand[1]. Demand keeps going up way faster than supply, nationwide, and we're all feeling the squeeze

[1]: A great example of this is the super low housing costs in Tokyo.
My mother in-law and sister in-law are renting a 3 bedroom apartment right now, 20 minutes outside Shinjuku (one of the "Giant Bustling Megacity" parts of Tokyo) for $1300/month, which they can comfortably afford while working part time doing low end janitorial work.

You then transfer the license to an oversea entity that then licenses back to your majority owned company.

This is the professional business with software licenses as there is no physical good to ship, it is in principle a good way to transfer money accepted as a common business transaction (paying licensing fees), supported by tax laws for international trade (e.g. often various tax exemptions).
In my experience, the Homebrew package registry is bigger and fresher than MacPorts. It also supports GUI apps, and it's much faster because it uses binaries by default. I suggest MacPorts work on catching up in these ways if they want to compete with Homebrew. I am not a fan of Homebrew's design but I'm a very pragmatic person and I don't have time to be ideological about my package manager.
I upvoted this, but just to play devil's advocate: The web app only needs to talk to the ML model through an interface, so it doesn't need to have access to ML libraries. In addition, using a non-Python-based web app will increase throwayweb_dev's knowledge surface area.

My understanding is that in the athmosphere methane slowly oxidizes to, well, CO2 (and water).

So in the short term (whether you use 20 or 100 years) methane is much worse, in the long term it approaches that of CO2.

Looking at bingo’s features, you already get most of them for free in Nix, such as multiple package versions, isolation and naming binaries to what you want. But the key difference is that Nix’s dependency specification is exact, not nominal like in bingo (so two packages of the same version and name but slightly different dependencies wouldn’t be confused in Nix.)
I implemented Wang–Müller algorithm, described it, and embedded the code to the pdf, along with tooling how to generate the example diagrams of the paper (and the whole paper). Everything is in the pdf[1].

Arxiv.org won't accept a pdf with attachments though, so only a stripped-down version will come there (once/if I get an endorsement, fingers crossed).

I copied this concept from Joe Armstrong, where he suggested to distribute Erlang modules as PDFs with code files (*.erl) as attachments. "Documentation comes first, and the distribution should prioritize humans".

Daydream/Cardboard's positioning was for very light use, in short bursts. A lot of viewers could get away with no straps nor bother with micro adjustments for that reason.

Freely available version of the review paper, for those who want it: https://arxiv.org/abs/2008.11619
Inertial containment fusion relies on firing a laser at an extremely precisely machined piece of heavy metal (called a hohlraum), heating it until it emits X-Rays, and using the X-Rays to create 2 implosion shockwaves in a tiny pellet of tritium + deuterium that have to meet in the dead center, so that where they meet they can start a fusion reaction, and ideally have the fusion reaction consume the whole pellet before the shockwaves dissipate enough to stop confining the plasma. A few microseconds after the laser blast, you get a puff of helium (+hydrogen if the reaction wasn't complete) and a mangled piece of metal, and some heat that in principle you could capture somehow, though no one has yet tried. Then, you throw away the now useless hohlraum, get a new one and a new pellet and you fire again for another little burst of energy, over and over.

The hohlraum is the biggest problem here: the level of precision needed to achieve the exact geometry inside the pellet to actually ignite a plasma means that every hohlraum is (a) extraordinarily expensive (currently in the millions of dollars range), and (b) entirely useless after a single shot - while continuous operation for a 1500 MW plant is estimated to require ~20 hohlraums/second).

For a spaceship design, this would mean that your engine would have to include a smelter and high-precision machining bay to constantly create new micrometer-smooth hohlraums from spent ones. Not even close to a promising technology.

> I've got to say that the bank integrations were _amazing_ to work on. The tooling was incredible and it was super easy to work with. If there was a problem with "a bank", you could spin up the entire bank integration stack very simply, took maybe 10 seconds, less if you kept it up to date, and plunk away.

Care to elaborate? From my experience as a Plaid customer, bank integrations seem extremely finicky, unpredictable and buggy. I have support cases going back months which should've been simple fixes (the bug was acknowledged, yet not fixed).

I'm concerned that this "every knows" is increasingly becoming a true social problem, unsolved by current technology - in fact, worsened by it.

Knowledge about a field transfers best by hands-on association with people who practice it. Before widespread IT, communities of practice were local and relatively homogeneous; so it was easy to share the essentials of a field quickly, and get newcomers up and running with best practices.

Nowadays however, communities of practice are widespread, coming around all the world with very different backgrounds, communicating through low-bandwidth channels, and we're flooded with information so it's difficult to ascertain what is essential and what's accessory.

It is much more difficult for an outsider to grasp the essential qualities of a field they want to enter, as there are usually no guides comprehensive enough to detail everything you need to know.
You're basically just telling me what they're doing, as if description were justification.

> It’s an [x] fund, not a [y] fund

Yes, that's exactly the problem I objected to -- not something I need to be told.

> Their aim is

Their aim is wrong. It would be much better to pay the back wages than pretend it's jubilee just so they can impose strings.

But I guess it's hard to resist, when you have the money, to exercise the power.

> they can track the impact of the fund

This is the only actual point you made, and it's weak. Who cares? They can't objectively judge the social impact of the software regardless, they can only judge whether the technical goals were accomplished. Useless either way when they're choosing to fund the wrong people for the wrong reasons.
Homebrew has been pretty poor IME. It is not possible to pin the homebrew repository per project, dependency confusion happens a lot (try installing different versions of core libraries at the same time), the way it messes with macOS file system permissions in /usr/local should be considered a risk (and not working with multiple users), and it’s generally very slow.

At this point I only use Homebrew for casks and Nix for everything else on macOS, which is far more up to date, reproducible, and cross-platform.

If you grow carrots, you would prefer to keep the overall supply of carrots low so that your carrots will fetch the highest price. But what you are actually doing is increasing the supply of carrots. So incentives and results are two different things and we shouldn't conflate the two.

I assume by "incentives", you mean that they'd manipulate the law to limit other suppliers. I'm sure that happens, but as a landlord you don't have to do that. And being a landlord (who isn't manipulating the law) doesn't make the problem any worse.

Criticism should be directed at the real problems. Those are a mix of law and culture and just inertia.
I don't doubt it, but I don't immediately see the proof either. What's the key idea?

Indian Ocean Earthquake and Tsunami
17 years ago today, news first broke of a tremendous earthquake off the eastern coast of Indonesia near the town of Bande Aceh. The undersea megathrust earthquake with a magnitude of 9.1--9.3 triggered both seismic damage in the immediate region, and triggered tsunamis ranging up to 30m (100ft) tall along shores near the fault rift, and killing over 230 thousand people along costlines in Indonesia, Thailand, Sri Lanka, and Africa, and elsewhere. Whilst it was clear that the devastation would be extreme and widespread, its full extent would not become clear for days and even weeks, and the final toll took months to assess.

This is the first major news event I followed largely through Wikipedia, which demonstrated itself to be phenomenally well-adapted to following a large (multi-continent, multi-ocean), long-term, and complex story.

See the first version of the entry here:

If you can stomach forking over all that tracking data with Mark Zuckerberg's promise that he isn't going to use it to get better at hacking your lizard brain, the Quest 2 is an otherwise unambiguously great product.

My Index is fantastic, but setting it up is usually a 10+ minute process (dig out and hook up the tracking cubes, get Steam and SteamVR patched and working again, clear a space next to my gaming PC). Meanwhile, last time I had a Quest, I could just put it on and use it in my back yard at night, or clear some space anywhere in the house and use it there. Practically no setup or BS involved.
