There seems to be some perverted notion that "wholesome and funny" is somehow better. Its not. Its manipulative and a case of "I know whats good for you" that can only result when someone thinks they are actually better than you.

These aren't people making the things "wholesome and funny". They are criminals in teddy bear outfits controlling what people hear. Modern day clowns.

I recall something about imposing Amazon corporate conventions on project governance, and people worried Amazon might start doing to Rust what Google has been doing to C++. As in that case, probably most of what Amazon wants for Rust, most other people want too, except for unlimited complexity. Corporations, by their nature, want things to be as complex as possible, regardless of what any individual -- even anyone who works there -- wants.
They split in 2007. MS then had them make reach as an independent company.
I took a deepish dive into these kinds of issues. My interpretation is that no one uses REST properly (ie, HATEOAS). Fielding has even said so - if you aren’t designing something as big as HTTP itself, then “true” REST isn’t for you.

Now there’s this thing called REST that we all commonly understand and debate over. And I have run into so many issues that I basically abandoned calling it REST and now just call it an API.

And somehow it still all works just as well :)

"Notes", "personal knowledge base" and "(personal) knowledge graph" are terms I'd call both more informative and more popular than "second brain", but they all have history.
I reckon the PRNG seeding in such a case might be used during development/testing.

So, run the code with a seed in a non distributed way (e.g. in R turn off all parallelism), and then the results should be the same in every run.

Then once this test output is validated, depending on the nature of the model, it can be run in parallel, and guarantees of deterministic behaviour will go, but that's ok.

I didn't develop the model, so can't really say anything in depth beyond the published materials.

I just found it odd at the time how this specific detail was incorrectly used by some to claim the model was broken/irredeemably buggy.

Edit: Actually, in general, perhaps there's one other situation where the seed might be useful, assuming you have used a seed in the first place. Depending on the distributed environment, there's no guarantee that the processes or random number draws will be run in the same order. But it might be that in most cases they're in the same order. This might bias the distribution of the samples you take. So you might want to change the seed on every run to protect yourself from such nasty phantom effects.
Yikes! Thanks for bringing this to my attention. I had forgotten to fix it. Should be fixed now.
Argentina was quite rich, relative to the rest of the world, in 1950.
Thanks for your questions.

We provide both desktop and mobile support. But you will have different typing signatures in this case, one for mobile and one for desktop usage. The mobile typing is totally different than the computer keyboard typing.

In order to guarantee strong security, we recommend you to use at least 8 characters for the signature (our competitors ask for over 160 characters). You can use an email address, a word, multiple words, a password. The longer your signature text is, the stronger will be the typing ID.

To allow the keystroke detection to work with arbitrary text you will have to submit multiple sentences in order to cover the entire alphabet. This case is also covered, but most of our users are defining the signature texts and they always use that text.

Typing AI is using a machine learning algorithm and it learns from previous detections, this is one of our advantages against the competition, we can easily cover the case described by you: "I'm thinking of authenticating while typing a post/comment somewhere".
and you know it got me thinking, languages are trees, and haskell tweaks it into DAG (shared call-by-need) .. evaluated one way, but in the context of UIs you get a larger graph set it seems, where any node can evolve and the consistency of the whole graph needs to be rebalanced. Just thinking out loud.
Probably 4chan.
Most comments here are not mentioning TFA, but I wanted to point out this line:

> Their security teams are trying to discover what all he downloaded, if they’ll be able to get their equipment back, is John really his real name, etc. !!

If they'll be able to get their equipment back? Incredible.
sure, in case it wasn't clear "~" is my shorthand for "approximate". I was going off vague memory and broad strokes. Not sure 2007 vs 2010 makes a big difference in terms of timeline, but I appreciate you filling in the details!

> - 2010-2019 Bungie partners with Activision, they coop to make Destiny - there was no acquisition

I said "teamed up", not acquired..?

Another commenter pointed out that Bungie left Acti.. true, I wasn't aware of that.

> There's no way MS considered a company that had a former relationship with an acquisition might be thrown in

Often acquisitions are also about "buying the network", not just the IP.
Have you seen YouTube comments circa 2006-2019 (no idea when this change was implemented, I gave up on reading the comments long ago)? Some of the worst toxicity of the entire Internet. 4chan at least had some funny parts, YT comments were just awful. This isn't censorship, it's trying to build an experience that doesn't actively turn people away from your platform.
> You’re contradicting yourself. Where would you live right now if you weren’t renting?

my parent's house? a friend's couch? My own appartment or house? (I suppose even millenials could inherit property).

I do not understand why you are saying that I'm contradicting myself. What I do see, is that you seem to be defending the custom of having to pay a recurrent fee to have a roof over your head, a custom which I stand against.
Seconding this -- the comments on machining and electronics videos tend to be great, comments on gaming videos are usually just jokes. This makes intuitive sense to me; different viewer bases who want to see different things.

> The conclusion to draw is that even if everyone on the planet went vegan, but we continued to burn fossil fuels the same as before, we would still not have done anything to stop climate change

Strictly speaking, eating less meat does something for climate change because it lowers greenhouse gas emissions. It can't be the only thing we do, but it does do something.
From what I can tell (I don't watch Rogan, so I get a lot of this indirectly through articles) at least some of the experts on the show make claims and then cite work that has been retracted, or is trivially verifiable as pseudoscience, or just not convincing/supporting. But it's presented uncritically as such and the viewers really have no way to make a reasoned decision one way or the other.
A simple AC->DC rectifier/transformer and some voltage regulation banks + integrated circuits and 10ft of cables should not be a $200,000 a piece. I can almost guarantee you Tesla's BOM (at least for their 72KW supercharger) is not over $20k as delivered & installed cost for an entire station was on average under $200,000 in 2016, and stations have on average 10 chargers per station.

From Tesla's disclosures on capital expenditure as it relates to supercharger stations in 2016, before scale-out savings or optimizations to date (They are now over 3,000 stations) :

While $40.6 million might seem like a lot, it's a tiny portion of Tesla's total capital expenditures. Tesla spent about $1.3 billion on capital expenditures in 2016.

Since Tesla's total Supercharger locations expanded from 584 to 790 during this period, the company likely spent around $197,000 per new Supercharger location during the year.
Nvidia just fixed its driver this year, and it's still not in great shape. You can only blame Nvidia for that.

We have quite different experiences I guess. On my side I just see that the recurring graphical issues that I had with X11 are fixed. Everything is super smooth, no tearing and really stable. Bonus points some of the side initiatives also improved a lot the ecosystem, like Pipewire.
The irony is that complete freedom ends up being quite limiting. You can't do kids events or anything where you expect the major press to show up. Sponsored events end up being pretty hard to do. Your platform won't even be available in many countries due to restrictive laws regarding pornography, including highly populous countries like China.

You can't use bodies in GET requests in some popular browsers, so better just use POST for everything you don't want cached.
These numbers aren't believable. There's no way to consistently make $1k on every $3k wagered. Possibly for weeks, or even a couple of months. But there is no method of betting on professional sports that can do that over any significant time period.

If you got to the point of betting $30k a day, you were definitely going to get limited by the sports books. They also can and will arbitrarily limit the amount of money that you can withdraw. Sports books are really only designed to deal in that much money with a limited set of people who exhibit very clear patterns.
....and that is exactly why no one trusts institutional actors anymore.

> I think your comic is referencing the political "left" vs "right" divide, you are part of "the right"

That's a big assumption. I could very well be part of the left who simply doesn't share "the left"(tm)(c)pat. pending)'s current party line because I find it to be nonsensical.

> People who exhibit this pattern are usually stuck in a rut of pseudo-truth.

There it is. That arrogance right there. "You don't share my class interests, therefore you are wrong". That, in essence, is exactly why no one trusts institutional actors -- because people realize they've aligned themselves with the bourgeoisie against the proletariat. There's no disguising it anymore. They will do or say whatever those who hold the purse-strings tell them to say.

> It doesn't help that a lot of institutions agree with the actual truth a lot of the time

Which truth is that? The one that said that masks helped halt the spread of the virus, or the one that said it didn't and we should stop hoarding them? Roll 2d6 and consult your Propaganda Master's Guide on page 666 to find the answer.

> People who exhibit this pattern often reflexively disbelieve whatever any authority says, just because they're an authority, i.e. Oppositional Defiant Disorder.

...or they've correctly identified them as class enemies who will do or say whatever it takes to defend their class interest such that you can't believe anything that comes out of their mouth. It honestly doesn't matter if they're right at that point because the lack of trust cannot be amended.

> The thing that makes it really insidious is the mentality they're right and everyone else is automatically wrong.

Indeed. Calling someone a part of 'the right' and saying they're from a side stuck in a 'rut of pseudo-truth' because they point out that institutional actors are biased to their own interest, have a history of lying, and this is why no one trusts them anymore, is quite insidious.

> I ask you: Hypothetically, if what you believed was not actually true, what would convince you of that?

Institutional actors abdicating their posts in favor of someone of proletarian class interest so proletarian ideals can be put to the test without interference.
Same, I pay for my internet connection and I get to decide which content I see and don't see. They're my resources. If you're going out of business because ad revenue, find a different business model. Nobody likes ads plastered all over the screen, the worst part is many ads are deceptive or as mentioned could lead to other nefarious acts. No thanks...
But it was pretty sweet the first year of use. Perfect size, great screen for the time, light, nice texture.
YouTube limits live streams viewers for accounts with "limited creator history"
Thanks. It looks like 4 or 5 vehicles support it starting in 2021. Hopefully Tesla will join them someday.
While we're shilling for Obsidian, I'd like to plug "Obsidian-Admonition"[0], which has been a gamechanger in the way I take notes. It's a simple extension of Markdown protocols with an enormous amount of flexibility for adding block-styled content. If you've ever wanted to glitz up your notes with some documentation-styled content blocks, this is for you!

I had a friend who purchased a 3 unit rowhome in a row of identical rowhomes in Pittsburgh. His neighbor invited him over and the layout of the entire house was the same except there was an extra stairway and attic room in this house. Given that they were seemingly identical houses he figured he probably had the same room in his house.

So he cut out a hole in the wall with a reciprocating saw, jumped into it, and walked straight up a stairway into a semi furnished attic filled with antique furniture. They had been living there for a year with no idea it was there. It felt like something out of a movie
Book recommendation lists are about inflating one's ego. I would look uncultured if I recommended the books I actually enjoy and derive value from (or, more poignantly, actually read).

I /highly/ recommend SICP as a first introduction to programming.
In the same way Disney, Amazon, NBC and HBO (now ATT time warner) are trying to buy all the back catalogs if content for their streaming services.

Being able to play any game from the past (x publishers only) on your Xbox/ps for a monthly fee is a giant fight brewing.
Would you deploy in production a software (which lack of safety could be critical) without being sure (or have proof) if it will effectively work as expected in 1+ years?

Would you be relaxed being the administrator of such a software?
It's exciting that the data exists, but Google's (and every similar organization's) business model is not compatible with full data transparency. They want you locked into their platform, using their tools.
You still see from time to time, but such posts often get downvoted.
A child can stand behind my car and looking out the rear window I would not be able to see them. I get more visibility from my backup cameras and radar sensors on my modern cars than I did on my 2000 Accord.
First one probably took hundreds of hours or practice and a ton of exposure, to be fair.
There was a period, maybe 15 years ago now, where I had my online accounts at pretty much every major UK bookmaker either closed or highly restricted. One new account had a profit of something like £350 in the first first week, and then it was heavily restricted. It wasn’t like I’d taken them for thousands! In the end, I was fortunate enough to have one contact in one bookmaker who flagged my account, allowing me to bet a decent amount for a good while (Thanks Corals!). Eventually I just shifted everything to Betfair.

In Australia bookmakers are obliged by law to stand a minimum bet size, based on the event and location (country vs metro horse racing for example). [1]

one-on-ones are kinda anti-pattern, if you have something to say, there should be an easier way to say it. if you have nothing to say it becomes dumb status report about things any competent manager would already be aware of.
That’s halfway reassuring at least. Wonder if it’s gonna be out of their hands though (e.g., Microsoft or Steam inhibiting their ability to do it), as opposed to Sony preventing them.

It will be interesting to see if the transition the existing Season system to being included with a PS subscription. I’d imagine they’ll keep expansions as separate purchases, but seasons get pretty pricey on top.
Where I live, Craigslist works really well for this situation - someone will take it away for free for sure and you might even be able to get something for it.
Of course the best option is doing BOTH things: indexing the context automatically via a modern personal search engine that accepts all kind of media and does vector
/ full text and relation indexing, plus the information wroten by the user
IIRC Google was clear about this even when they launched Gmail: they were doing it so they could read your emails and use that info to add to your ad profile.

I couldn't even *believe* at the time why anyone would sign up for that. Still can't believe it.
I don't understand how they don't expect a first amendment case against them, they likely are discriminating against certain ethnicities, races, or localities in using algorithms to block / sort comments. It seems like at some point all automated moderation like this will have to be reviewable.

On the other hand it is nice that their comment section isn't as toxic as it once was.
No one's going to use this.

We have ~ 5M identities in the existing federated social web, and it is interoperable, ethical, and standards driven. Get onboard or get left behind.

I am not so sure. At least not for Bungie. I haven't enjoyed Destiny at all. Where on the other side, Arkane's Dishonored and Prey are quite good. So are id Software's Doom, Doom Eternal, and Wolfenstein. Fallout 4 was okay as well.
Occam's razor says it's probably something very simple like that
For your 20 year old Craftsman, seriously look around for aftermarket replacement batteries. You might find them out there for pretty cheap. I did for my DeWalt.
This is why we can't have nice things. Or in other words, why we must usually do a coding test per company we apply for, and not just 'point them at the Github'.
It is more about what should be open and what shouldn’t be. The core system that drives the device, probably doesn’t need to be open. The app that only make API calls to control the device should be open.
I didn't know this. Could you explain the reason?

Password protect static sites with PageCrypt
Instead of watching his episodes, I read descriptions of them on both the NY Times and Fox. By comparing how the two sites pull quotes and interpret them it's pretty clear what rogan does and says on his show. In fact I read a wide range of content. If I watched his show I imagine I'd last about 5 minutes before having to turn it off (I don't like the tone, the attitude, etc. What little I have seen seems to turn my brain off or into some sort of nonthinking being).

I think he once said his show is the intersection of meatheads and potheads, but I think it's really just WWE.
What types of comments are being censored? A lot of people claim HN is heavily censored, but when you turn on "showdead" it reveals mostly truly vile and awful comments are the ones hidden.
It's included in the above calculator by PG&E. They have an hourly-rate all-in plan for EV charging which rolls in power demand and energy.
Sorry but a short ad in front of a video is not abuse.
I agree, they're often surprisingly funny and witty. To take a random example, I just looked at the comments of Lex's recent interview with Elon (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DxREm3s1scA) and saw:

"This is the best conversation between two robots that I’ve ever witnessed."

The other top comments are just friendly and positive.
Huh, there seem to be some activity in the repo over the last year from several people. Not an amazing amount but it's going forward it seems

DockerHub Active Incident
Also, consider an e-bike? It's a shame that the US continues to invest in sprawl, roads and parking lots everywhere. Cities could be so much more green and vibrant.
Halo was an FPS and a spiritual successor to an earlier series of theirs called "Marathon". The main characters, weapons, and themes of the original game all skew very closely to Marathon.
What I really like about LogSeq is the Journal feature that you can specify a template for, and the ability to query TODOs across all of your notes. I take meeting notes and add in action items and they all get collected up and organized using my queries that filter and order by due date. The way they’re presented also lets you easily jump back to the context where the TODO was created.

It’s a prolog based query language so it took a bit of time to learn but now it helps me stay organized and on top of all the stuff I need to do.
Sounds a lot better to me than live coding on a white board.
True, but it was initially supposed to be an RTS, just a bit longer before Microsoft stepped in.
That link's image is quite a contrast to a few videos I have seen, such as these two:

There does seem to be a significant push to provide conflicting narratives...
I think it's likely that most of the tic-tac things were some kind of projected image. It's the easiest way to explain the non-inertial movement of the object, and the bubbling ocean underneath: that was the projector station, possibly one of many.

David Fravor, while I believe he is credible, doesn't seem to be really giving the full picture. I think he's being careful in what he says for a reason. I think this is some kind of developing military technology, most governments probably have a vague idea of how it works and who is doing it but maybe they are not certain. A huge red flag is how non-chalant Fravor is about the whole ordeal. Even if you're not initially a UFO-hunter, I would think that such an experience would make any sane person start taking the possibility of aliens on earth more seriously. Because this didn't happen, I have to believe that Fravor has some additional information making him think this phenomena has a terrestrial source.

Someone with a more conspiratorial outlook might say that this is controlled disclosure, possibly intended to distract from more mundane Earthly political issues.
Given that they recently put a bunch of weapons from their older games in Destiny, but had to modify the names slightly, I suspect the answer is "no".
Constant stream of college grads brought in as interns. Just select the hungry ones with hustle and indoctrinate them. This is a typical MO for large established corporations.
That's not the same thing. The "completely unqualified staff" is not pretending to be the same persons as the "bright and very qualified people" who interviewed. There's no deception involved, just transparently bad business practices.
