>"The official stated goal of this protest was the overthrow of the democratically elected government of Canada."

Where does it say that and what does that mean? Overthrow is a violent usurpation of power. Getting a government to capitulate is not an overthrow.

In the US we had plenty people who during the previous administration made exaggerated claims about what they wanted to achieve as well. I didn't see Gofundme shut down donations or freeze funds.
They already have my money, twice, and the second account was after release so "full price".

Ooooh, burst response as opposed to flat-out super tight hot loops.

That honestly makes a lot of sense. Thanks!
There’s a Reddit support group for recovering porn addicts, the stories over there are pretty interesting. One of the withdrawal symptoms mentioned is a total lack of interest in sex that they call “flatlining.”https://nofap.com/porn-addiction/
Oh believe me, there is definitely enough material for you to sustain a porn problem. OnlyFans alone can get you paying specific people to create content for you. It's infinite.
There is a portion of the article and video discussing the work they did after it was too much of a jerk in order to make it drive with sportsmanship. It's very high level so there are frustratingly few details.

In the video the developers make it very clear that the goal is to make an agent that is a fun challenge.
I’m glad I’m not in college anymore
Of course the trick there is... does the keyboard show letters as eliminated? That's the deduction you have to do in mastermind.

And if the keyboard highlighted "right place" letters for the most recent guess it wouldn't be mastermind.

So really it would just show letters you have or have not yet guessed, but without any indication on if they are right, or in the right place.
Recruiters are like people on dating apps. You can tell when they're not doing well because they start writing angry, frustrated messages that they try to pass off as light-hearted.
> I've seen a ton of videos on social media.

This is your problem right here.

1) Was it real or not? Was it a video of someone getting a hernia in 2005? How did you verify it was real?

2) If it was real, what's the sample size? I'm assuming every occurence that's filmed in the world would show up. Can you make a video of half of them? A quarter? 4.23B people are vaccinated, did you see 50 videos? That's statistically insignificant. ~1000 people died from lightning strikes in the last year. Those aren't vaccine related either.

You distrust mainstream media, but you trust videos on social media? That's a terrible recipe for information consumption.
The Factorio Mindset
I love this thread idea - I'm much more excited by people's passion projects than their money making ones.

I seem to collect passion projects like nobody's business - honestly I think I get excited by concepts then bogged down in the details, but I'm starting to overcome this and get deeper into projects now so let's give this a whirl:

- civarium, a game AI desk-toy where little villagers go about their lives and expand the village themselves (think Banished but zero-player) - pretty early days but good fun to occasionally tinker on: https://github.com/ajeffrey/civarium

- my main fun project at the moment is a private branch off of the above - I'm trying to make a really systemic game where you're a mage apprentice trying to solve quests without violence. Not public yet but will be if I get to the point where the first demo quest is fully playable. The idea is that the world is data driven and by being one of the first magic users you can push various systems out of their attractor/equilibrium states.
Whenever I hear complaints about a popular programming method, I have some real doubts. Modern software gets better every year.

There may be better ways, but what we have works.

I don't know if the modern world would be possible without OOP. If the only language in the world was Haskell, C, and SQL.... would I have actually learned them, or would I have chosen a different career? Would there be enough devs to have as much software as we do now?

It's hard to tell, because almost everything big is written using OOP. Few things on the scale of LibreOffice or Blink are pure functional.

And Java seems to work exceptionally well for large scale projects.
thanks for the positive feedback! warms my heart <3 :)

That’s a falicy, why would air airline subsidise economy?

Several airlines have tried all business flights. I’ve taken some - Qatar to London for example, Paris-NY I think was all business too when I flew it, and there a London-New York one

But they are rare exceptions. Yes if you can fill a 787 with 100 first class passengers paying 5k each way you can make money, but the demand isn’t there.
construction would be waaaay more expensive.

there are also video compilations of wind turbine failures, tons of raining debris in a metropolis is not a good idea so construction and quality control standards would have to improve which would make it even more expensive.
Maybe someone that knows the topic well could elaborate a little bit on how do the authors arrive to their conclusion? From what I'm gathering, by Theorem 2 they show, that with n approaching infinity, the probability that the function $f$ exists approaches zero very quickly. I understand that, for this reason, they require that the variables $d$ and $k$ also approach infinity reasonably fast (or faster than $n$) in order to bound that probability with anything other than zero.

We can already stop here and question, why does an upper bound on any similar probability interest us? If we want to show that the function $f$ exists with high probability, we should also consider lower bounds, not only the upper bounds as is done in the paper (clearly, I can bound any probability by 1 and would not be wrong).

But even leaving this question aside and going back to Theorem 2, they essentially show that for any sample of size $n$, they can find (and overfit) a smooth function $f$, given a sufficiently large model space $d$ and $k$. Assume I launch such a model in production, and continue generating further observations $n$. It follows from the theorem 2 that $f$ will quickly become unsuitable and require retraining on a larger training space $d$ and $k$.

However, from a statistical standing point, unless the data generating process is non-differentiable at every point, we should be able to assume that there exists N_epsilon, such, that for every n > n_epsilon, we should be able to find $f$ such that the errors would be controllably small (< epsilon) against the true data generating process f + sigma. So, beyond a certain $n$, further increasing of observations should not affect the initial fit of the model.

This is not at all what follows from the Theorem 2, suggesting that any such $f$ is still fitting on the errors, not necessarily the true process.

What am I missing (or assuming incorrectly)? Would be very interested to discuss this paper further!

The worst of the bunch is tobacco. The effect is basically nothing, but it hurts ones health and wallet.

I've done cocaine, marijuana, mdma, speed, xtc pills, and some research chemicals. Protips: don't smoke, and never combine any two drugs. If you really want a certain substance, do at least the first session with someone sober to keep an eye on you. Never accept drugs from strangers and don't give in to peer pressure (which can be pretty tough at times when self-confidence is lacking).
I have no idea what our HR would give out if someone called to verify I worked there. I would actually have to look up my official HR level anyway as it's something I never use and wouldn't put on a resume anyway.

I’m the guy who said “law enforcement doesn’t seem to care about HTTPS, I wonder why.”

1. HTTPS relies heavily on DNS. It’s as secure as DNS is. Nuff said.

2. As has been said, there’s law enforcement can get the logs. Not hard.

3. The way the web currently works strongly encourages users to wear a “name tag.” It’s hard to take that name tag off. HTTPS doesn’t help with that.

HTTPS is very important, but has much narrower scope, and chaotic implementation, than most people realize.
Edited OP to include it :)
How big are the spectra, and how big is the data for a full run here? I had a hard time getting a sense for that.

I was expecting the story to turn and show a huge ~100x coming from numpy, and surprised by the very small impact. That’s exactly what’s happened to me when I’ve switched image processing or simulations from raw python to numpy. Maybe I’m completely misunderstanding the problem, but it looks like the issue might be that numpy is not bubbled all the way up to be the outside of the main loop, maybe in this case on the outside of the entire spectrum calculation (if I’m understanding the problem at all). To see the real gains from numpy, you have to turn your program all the way inside out.
Is that supposed to be a reference to “Wir Sind Die Roboter”? Feels awkward in German, usually we would say “Wir sind Weltmeister”. Also, it’s not a word, but if it were a human in casual conversation, it wouldn’t be a weird reply. Spooky stuff…
I thought the colors were a nice nod to Mastermind.

So perhaps a Mastermind theme and a Wordle them?

Does anyone have good book recommendations on Math? I've always deeply enjoyed the subject, and I think I'd like to study on my own but I'm unaware of where to even delve into the subject.
It's 100% because the problems come from a textbook and some other professors assign them as homework, as opposed to study, rather than writing their own problem sets.

If it's from the professor's own problem sets then actually WTF.

Textbooks written "for teachers" are the bane of every college student's existence if you dare to actually learn from them yourself. "Only solutions to odd problems -- cool guess I have to look on the internet or never be able to validate whether I got them right."
Also, junk food! That is for sure my big problem.
An image on its own: sure, our tech is getting pretty good at recognising the contents. An image in context? Almost impossible to tell whether it’s meant to be decorative, inspirational, factual, or to be OCRed for text without some sort of hint.

Or what about a chart, or an assembly or measurement diagram? Can current image recognition reliably reproduce that information?

At the end of the day, the extra work by developers is part of what it means to be a developer. If you’re not doing that work then is the end product really meeting your users’ needs?

What is the gist of the article?
the problem with being an immigrant, and I have seen this on myself, is that we tend to see the host country through rose colored glasses (best case). Or if we are from a poor / unprivileged background we've been put through hell by trying to survive in the new country. And in the latter case it results in (worst case) those groups becoming the most extreme defenders of whatever that country does. That gets then compounded by having to defend your old customs (from your origin society) even that origin society has meanwhile moved on.

The person who just moved to a new place is very unlikely to speak ill of their new hosts or join an activist group to fight against what is a local issue. It's generally a bad idea to poop where you eat but it's unthinkable when you consider yourself still a guest in that country. The whole thing takes generations usually.

Unfortunately it seems like no one has been willing to teach the author what mathematics is. Attempting to learn mathematics as some sort of pattern matching, which is where having large sets of questions and answers to study is useful, does not work; it isn't mathematics.

Now it's possible I'm misunderstanding the problem here: I am assuming that during lessons students have been given answers to problems worked in class, so that they can see what an answer looks like, which is probably one of the most important parts in learning introductory mathematics. Indeed, learning to validate one's own answers is not only the most important lesson in this stage of learning mathematics; it's also the only way to actually learn mathematics as it's the only way actual math gets done.

(ETA:) So I guess what I'm saying is that the author is right that no one has taught her mathematics, but as a symptom of this she doesn't even understand what form actually learning mathematics would take.
It was the same way 30 years ago.

Yes, Parker breaks the 40+ year old record set by Helios. OP is using stale data.

The fastest crewed spaceship was Apollo 10 at 39,705km/h before reentry. After orbiting the moon they had lots of fuel left over so they just floored the engine on the way home. Not just falling back towards the planet but actively flying towards the ground for longer than any other Apollo mission.

This record can be broken with current technology, we just have to go back to the moon.

I’m no Toner but I hold a MA in Classics. I also have a management position in finance. Let me give 2 observations of the Ancient Roman world that counters two of Toner’s underlying assumptions. First, as with an leader, Romans needed to act in different ways depending on the circumstance. Caesar would eventually elevate himself above not just his own troops but all people as “Divus Caesar.” However, that came much later towards the end of his life. At the pinnacle of his military career, slutty Caesar was jeered as “every man’s girl and every woman’s boy.” And I suspect his well-known inspiration from Alexander the Great taught him the humility to eat and train alongside his troops to boost morale, as the old King of Macedon had famously done. Therefore, a Roman leader was not always trying distinguish his own behaviors from those of his followers, at least not in a way that demeaned the latter.
The second issue I find troubling is his generalizing of slaves’ lives and their owners’ treatment of them. The relationship of slave vs owner was not only different across locations, but also through time. The nature of slavery at Rome developed from being mostly the capture of regional enemies, to becoming a trans-Mediterranean industry in the Middle Republic (2nd century BC). Slaves could range from a farm hand born into slavery who had to suffer wearing an iron collar like a beast of burden (“The Zoninus Collar and the Archaeology of Slavery by Jennifer Trimble 2016); to a freshly enslaved Greek scholar who lived alongside a leading Roman and had great influence on that family (Polybius in the household of the Scipios); to a more run of the mill urban slave who may have had a constructive relationship with their master (consider Tiro, who by all counts was born into slavery, and became a most valued member of Cicero’s household and was ultimately freed upon his owner’s untimely death). All of these may be exceptional cases, and yet they are vastly different from one another. Most important of all, it’s unclear that any of these slaves’ lives would fit Toner’s paradigm.
Oh, actually, I have a third issue. Nowhere does Toner mention women. This in spite of the fact that women were as often as not put In in charge of managing the household’s affairs. They would also be in charge of various businesses, such as brickyards. Both at home and at work, women would have led slaves; and this means that Toner is blind to the differing managing skills between the two genders. This is something we see today in a world where men and women are thought of in a far more egalitarian way than even the most progressive of periods of Ancient Rome. Meaning, I suspect that if we can observe differences in leadership and management skills between men and women at a time when the two are on par, I would love to consider the differences observed back then when the two genders were considered practically different species.
Overall, this article has some serious omissions on both sides he's arguing (ie regarding the history of Roman slavery and the tactics of a modern manager)
I serve Kambo (which is the poisonous secretion derived from a particular Amazonian tree frog) to people. It has been my savior for breaking out of addictive patterns. It's definitely not for everyone (not just considering the contraindications; it's an extremely rough experience in general). It can feel like a physiological and psychological "reset" (note, only speaking anecdotally as there is not a lot of proper research around it). Quite a breath of fresh air after being in a rut or just looking to make changes in your life.
Thanks you!

Yes I intentionally buried the piece movement explanations after each minigame, trying to keep focus on the sequence of minigames and letting folks skip over the piece movements in case they already knew them a priori.

My username comes to mind. Spivak's Calculus is hands down the best intro Calc book if you want to learn math for its own sake. His book on manifolds is also amazing but definitely not intro.

If you want stats I highly recommend Statistical Inference by Casella & Berger -- it's extremely dry but so many stats books out there try to "make it easy" but the simplification means that you can't actually grok what's really going on. HOWEVER if you want to actually apply anything in this book you'll need to grab something more practical as well. Going through an applied stats book after having done SI is like having superpowers.
I don't know, I never thought about them before the AirTags were widely used, so I never really formed an opinion on them.

Going to {the Middle East, Europe / Asia, Australia, the New World, interior South America, the North American West) seems pretty useless to me at this time. It’s a super hostile environment and we don’t have the technology yet to have a self sustaining base there. Give it a few decades and progress in {insert technology} will make a base much easier. There is plenty of work to be done on {current place}. We have to solve {current problems}. These are massive technological challenges that deserve massive funding.

... has been said for the entirety of human history. And in all that time, they've only ever been right about Australia. (J/k Aussies!)

Only one technology matters: that which enables transportation.

Animal husbandry. Sailing. Railroads.

In the end, humans are plentiful. As long as it's done in full disclosure and as an uncoerced individual choice, who the hell are we to stand in the way of adventurers taking a chance on a better life?
I wonder if some universities should pay more attention to the impact of discouragement on some students.

I remember attempting a grad class called "Hard problems in combinatorial optimization". I was struggling so I asked the professor for advice on getting my footing in the class.

His answer was that I may just not have the "mathematical maturity" for the material. I was so discouraged that I dropped out of the program.

What I didn't realize at the time was the particular meaning of that term. His advice was well intended and accurate.

But what I heard was that I was hopeless in this topic area because I wasn't smart enough.

So much pain could have been avoided if we just extended the conversation by a few minutes, or he invited me for a discussion over coffee.
That's right, wouldn't want to make it too easy!
I encourage you to push your question further. The tech exists, some people want it according to this article. "Do we really want the ability"....if your answer is "no", it sounds like the window is closing for you to do something about it.
