Oh, interesting. I'll try that. I feel like I've seen it on FF too, so I'm not sure if that's the problem.
> This is a lovely product

It's a lovely project, a lovely tool.

I think calling it a "product" devalues it, implies it's being used to sell something or exploit its users.
It's an MVNO, which makes me extra suspicious that the reason they have low prices is because they're selling my information.
I feel like I know which Ivy you're talking about, and if I'm right that class has been fantastically designed for that purpose. I _hate_ the idea of a barrier class. Most students are already terrified at the idea of studying STEM. Why on earth would we further discourage them?

Seems like something people would pay for.
> In a lot of STEM fields there will be one or more required courses in the 3rd or 4th year of a 4 year bachelor's degree program that are significantly harder than anything in the first two years.

Sure, but then the "weeder course" should directly relate to that challenging required material - perhaps by introducing it in a simplified, approachable fashion but with high-standards assessment. The OP's linear algebra class does not seem to be anything like that. I stand by my opinion that the "generic weeder course" pattern is most often a convenient rationalization for what is, at its root, a badly taught course. This doesn't mean it can't become somewhat intentional, but that's secondary.
Everything that falls under the umbrella of the term computer science can, in my opinion, be put into one of three categories: theoretical comp sci, algorithms, and coding. Theoretical comp sci is math. You don't need computers to do it and this is the foundation everything else is built on. Algorithms are all the specialized knowledge that fields like AI, machine learning, rendering, databases, etc use. You still don't need computers to make an algorithm. You need theoretical comp sci if you want to compare algorithms or determine if your desired result is even computable. Finally, you've got the implementation of those algorithms. This category is closer to doing a trade than anything else. This category includes all the stuff like choice of languages, should I use OOP, and other software engineering considerations Of the three, this is the category that most computer science graduates spend most of their time on.

The third category is mostly, if not all, implementation details. The fact that this is most of the work doesn't change that. I'd argue that most of the second category is implementation details as well.

The funny thing is, it's often the case that already √(m^2 - 4N) > N^(1/4), so we can answer "No" to whether such a factorization exists, without even trying a single attempt.
Recently spoke with a OB who said that he didn't like to mention it in the past because he felt slimy knowing that companies were hiking up their prices (since demand can be inelastic for baby health related products). He recently signed with us as an advisor because he knew we were well-intentioned and properly building an onboarding flow & company made for parents and for them only.

No evidence to show that extensive storage will damage the product! Potentially re: transfer, although it would depend on who is transferring & how
> they are not the ideal identifier for products

They are a pretty decent identifier for users. Facebook demanded my phone number for "security" purposes then turned around and used it as a unique identifier to tie me to purchase records from various businesses (e.g. Ticketmaster - why am I not surprised?) that apparently have shady tracking/advertising deals with Facebook.

This sort of information misuse and tracking (not to mention spam) is precisely what "sign in with Apple" was supposed to fix in terms of e-mail addresses, but it's currently instantly neutralized by SMS "verification" since it's a huge pain to get a different phone number just to prevent Facebook from using it as a tracking identifier.

(I guess this reminds me why I have said "no" to multiple inquiries from Facebook. The thought of being told to implement a dark pattern as part of your job is extremely unpleasant. Facebook's confusing anti-privacy settings are another example.)

And it's not just Facebook. This is seeping into other completely unexpected applications; for example I bought a game controller whose driver software setup demanded a mobile number for "verification" purposes. No, just no.

yes, it preserves caller ID on the outbound call initiated on the SIP trunk, my wholesale voip provider allows me to pass CID on outbound calls.
For sure. We're 8 years * 85/mo for payments * 12 months per year for 20 years of storage. So much less than 18k
The number of new nuclear reactors only stopped growing in the 80's. In any case I don't think access to material is the limiting factor in nuclear proliferation. If we're talking about the US and USSR, it's completely irrelevant, even if they had 100x more reactors since they already have more than enough bombs to more or less to blow up the entire world. Other western countries either have enough nukes already or don't need or want them and I don't see why would they export technology or material to countries which are hostile to them.

It's not obvious to me that having more nuclear reactors in the US, Britain or Germany would had made it significantly easier for rogue states like Iraq, Iran or North Korea to developed nuclear weapons.
> I'm not OK with this, and I hope more and more people aren't OK with it either.

Cool, that's a societal change - awareness.

I can't argue against your ridesharing datamining examples. I can't say the data they've hoarded is actually valuable - just based on the fact almost all their ads are complete misses. I've yet to see any personal data hoarder company to be able to actually pull off anything sensible, not that some ML model realizing nonsense in lines of "meatbag bought a sofa, meatbag must love sofas, let me show him all the sofa recommendations" (lol). Anyway, that's not the point. I don't fancy this data collection and sure agree it's not a bad thing to stop it. Just as I'm fed up with small prints, shrinkwrap licenses and other things we pretend people read and understand that they don't.

When I wrote my comment I thought about somewhat different things. Tracker devices or face recognition is different because it can be done in what marketing calls a "privacy-respecting" way, on device. Yet, it's a fact if someone can point a camera on you, they can match you with their previous data, and if someone can plant a device on you (and devices get smaller and smaller every few years) they can know your location. And it's not about companies producing something, it's about the technologies itself, when the technology can be used for both good and bad things. Like a knife or a laser pointer.

It doesn't make sense to me to tell companies to not produce such technologies. It's impossible to make technologies be usable for good things and not usable for bad things. A knife is always a weapon (or it's not a knife and you can't use it to make yourself a sandwich), a key tracker can always be used to stalk (or it won't be ever useful to find stolen things). But some people are so desperate for "safety" they do want to nerf anything that can be even theoretically abused to absolute uselessness.

Things like this is what bothers me.
ok someone showed a way you can achieve break like functionality with map https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=30306256 by mutating the array parameter of the map.
I have been thinking about turning it into a small project people can pay for, would first want to set up a series of scripts that could auto-provision everything immediately upon payment. Right now it's all manual since I'm the only person with the equivalent of admin/root on the asterisk system, and I've customized it for only my needs and those of my spouse.
It's not a question of ineffectivrness. It's a question of treating a large number of people, with a spot light on them, and then blaming the illness for "long Covid". Maybe it is the virus? But maybe it's the treatment? Or a combo of both? Or a combo plus some other factor?

Two examples that might help frame things:

1) Chemo. It's toxic.

2) A couple of yrs ago a family member was hospitalized from a stroke. They needed to be put on assisted breathing. Well that helped, but it also led to a lung infection. And then that required treatment. Fair enough, it prevented death.

The point is, not every treatment is without sidside effects. But with Covid, evidently there are no longer comorbidies, and the treatments have no side effects.
This is a lunatic conspiracy theory. Sorry.

The claim here is that vaccines somehow caused a vast increase (claimed to be greater than 10X in some categories) in the appearance of certain ICD-9 diagnosis codes in the US military in 2021.

The response from the military is essentially that the data presented to make this claim are not accurate because they don’t show accurate counts prior to 2021.

That or something like it must be the answer. If there were spikes in diagnoses at these rates in the young and healthy military population, there would have been something similar in the civilian population as well, which is also quite heavily vaccinated.

Please downvote this story. It is total nonsense.
Can you provide more details about how you set this up? Does it provide a similar benefit to using Google Voice with call screening enabled?

If my phone number is already out in the wild (apparently), is there anything I can do at this point? Or is the only solution to get a new phone number, never give it to strangers, and only give out a virtual number with screening?
I had that moment of clarity when I got the chainsaw, and again when I looked over my giant field of coal generators.
Well, you're much more expensive in the long run. But that's pretty typical for companies targeting poorer people. So you're essentially a very expensive financing solution.
Absolutely not surprised that they don't handle cases like emergency vehicles in the road. These cases can be arbitrarily different to a normal road situation. No amount of AI trained on any amount of data can prepare a system to deal with all the possibilities (maybe you can get better on average than a human, or maybe not, but people will still be killed where a human driver would avert an accident). It's hard enough for a human driver to analyse the situation when approaching an accident or construction zone and realise that the shape in the road is a piece of shed load or a human or what.
You sure? Not seeing anything on our end.
That sounds like Stockholm Syndrome to me. Here is a better alternative. Make a law, enforce it. We don't ask murderers for input on murder laws.
Why do you think they'd have less access? They have greater access because they will 100% find a donor - themselves. It guarantees access to a sample regardless of genetic background
> I don't understand how any of this is good for me as a user outside of the broad idea of "ads pay for things, so you should care if advertisers are happy."

If it works, the improvement for users is that it provides similar monetization for sites (which benefits users in the broad way you described) but without advertisers tracking individuals across sites.

After blaming Trump for a global pandemic, we probably don't get to use that excuse to shield Biden from blame when bad things happen under his watch.

Having an existing APU line makes the chances of success a whole lot higher.

I don't know what the grand plans were to have CPU and GPU teams both in a multiple level deep tick tock pipeline (organizations are structured like CPUs or CPUs are structured like assembly lines ... pick your causal metaphor). That would require the right fabric, I don't know if they have that yet. There is a ton of research that shows that a mediocre GPU on the same memory bus as a CPU has a huge number advantages over a GPU on the PCIe bus, even at x16. With HBM, hell put the GPU in the HBM. All HSAIL the HBM!

CPU, GPU and FPGA will all merge into a computational goo. With AMD acquiring Xilinx and their past with APUs and HSA, I stand by my statement. AMD has been stalling on the G series Ryzen parts because I think they don't want to cannibalize their discrete GPU business, but CPUs have more than enough compute and memory bandwidth to support software geometry and rasterization.

Interesting hypothesis. But I get enough identical-seeming spam from other random numbers that I doubt they have much in the way of spam filters.
> What people call OOP is OOP

That's silly and not how definitions work.

definition
noun
def· i· ni· tion | \ ˌde-fə-ˈni-shən

an explanation of the meaning of a word, phrase, etc. : a statement that defines a word, phrase, etc.

In other words: words or phrases have actual meanings, regardless of what people call them.

To give you an example, people use "their" instead of "they're" all the time. It doesn't mean that "their" means "they're".
Sounds like you've got some pretty good experience with both Typescript and Elixir. LiveViewJS could definitely benefit from that type of experience if you'd be interested in helping? I am definitely not an Elixir / Phoenix expert.

Heads up: The placenta banking FAQ answer ends abruptly.

Q: Is there a card or something that will alert hospitals should folks get injured and no one else is available/aware of the bank materials that could be of help (e.g. spinal cord injury)? An opt-in permission or something?

Thanks for raising awareness! I had no idea this existed.
I wonder if they could check API usage statically and fast-fail if you don’t provide the right flags, instead of waiting to find out later

You need some way to make fuel and propellant, though. Phobos would be a great choice for a launchpad, but in such a scenario you would do ISRU on Mars and lift fuel and propellant there - which will be much more efficient than on Earth, since there's less gravity and less atmosphere.
You know companies just break labor kaw every single day right?
Re supportive. Not necessarily. Time and time again I hear stories along the lines of "I had to hand over my credit card in the middle of labor because I couldn't pay online and didn't know when I should pay" or "their supposed sales reps didn't have a lot of knowledge when I asked them questions specific to my birth plan."

Relevant to people of color because people like me - who are mixed race - will have a harder time finding a donor if they ever need stem cells. So banking their own ensures access

The security guy metaphore is false to a degree. The security guy is the reason there are no robberies as he himself reduces the win lose ratios. Given no security guard win ratio for robbers is very high (no witness, just take stuff and go). The company has several security level cameras, alarms, security agency nearby they can calibrate their response to further devalue the win possibility.

There is also society game level above all of that. You can persuade more and more people that stealing things just generates additional costs. Seems we have to allocate resources(private and public) on protecting property and its beneficial for all if we stop playing this game (where reasonable people have to spend money to continously fix unreasonable people's deeds).
It's related to what I do for work so what I've done I would not recommend to everyone... It's a FreePBX/Asterisk VM (CentOS 64-bit) that runs on a system in colocation somewhere at a major traffic exchange point. It is one of a number of VMs that run my personal infrastructure.

It has a SIP trunk to a wholesale voip provider, where several DIDs reside.

The incoming calls to the DIDs first hit my SIP trunking provider, which sends the incoming call signals to my voip server, which processes the call flow by starting with the IVR announcement I previously described.

It is generally the same idea as google voice with call screening but I have approached it from a DIY perspective where I want to have full admin access over everything, except at the SS7/PSTN level where the DIDs are at my SIP trunking provider. Everything related to the incoming and outgoing calls I can customize for other unique purposes.
It certainly doesn't sound like a trivial project, but given the preponderance of spam calls these days it seems like perfect timing for a product like this.
I've felt strongly for a few years that there is a market (strong interest, if not financial) for a small computer designed to let you be creative and expressive and to learn how computers really work. Over the past year and a half, I've built up a BASIC-like system on my own bare metal kernel on ARM64, giving a boot-to-BASIC programming and prototyping environment in a few seconds. I've worked down the stack as far as building an SBC-based custom hardware with HDMI and keyboard that also works as a handheld portable with onboard display & speaker. You can also do inline ARM64 assembly and memory peeking/disassembly as well as instruction-level step debugging. Polyphonic audio, direct I2C/SPI/GPIO/etc. access, and more.

It's just radically freeing to not have to wait for a boot, to have direct control over hardware resources like the frame buffer and audio registers, but to start with something as simple as Hello World and go in either direction from there — up in programming complexity or down in systems understanding. I'm very close to getting it into friends' (and their kids') hands. I'd love for it to take off, and have experience actually selling services and products, so I don't think it'll just be a hacker toy, but who knows? Regardless, it's been probably the single best learning project I've ever done. And it's so fun! It'll continue to be so for me whether it sells and/or has a community that builds up around it, or if it's just my passion.
This isn't helpful for say econ majors who want to build econometric models though. The class sounds like it is specifically for non cs majors so it doesn't really make sense to get into theory that might not apply to their studies.

I do, though not New Deal stuff in particular. I do pay for New Deal stuff as part of admission to museums, etc.

Some art is popular, therefore all art must be popular?

But I'll give you this: It's hard to come up with artists I never heard of who would have done better with government funding!

But many well-known artists have benefitted from government funding.

> It's painful to read. Problem 2: "Find the matrix A describing the following linear transformation from R2 to R'2 : First rotate clockwise by π/6, then scale by a factor of 2, then reflect about the x2 axis." Anyone who programs video games recognizes that as a stack of transformations. You set up the matrix for the rotate, the scale, and the reflection (which is a scale of -1 on one axis). You multiply the matrices to get the result. This is a pain to do with pencil and paper. GPUs have hardware for it.

> Books on graphics programming cover this problem. But they usually do it much better, with graphical examples.

With all due respect to your impressive graphics programming experience, I think even you would have something to learn from this class in general and this problem specifically.

The columns of a matrix are where the basis vectors of the domain are mapped. As such, this problem can be done by keeping track of what these operations due to the vectors e_1 and e_2. In particular, it is easy to this problem in your head, never multiplying any matrices along the way.
Right - so in total for 20 years of storage for instance, (100-300)20 + (500-2500 down payment) comes out to more than our current prices which are (35-85) 8 for 20 years of storage as payments go over the course of 8 years to cover 20 years of storage.

I can guarantee we are the most affordable in the industry at this moment.
Admittedly my knowledge on this matter derives from KSP, but I've found that rendezvous is much trickier outside of gravity wells.

And there's still the problem of ISRU.
