Sorry, I thought it was clear. A neural network, when untrained is just random noise that multiplies inputs by random weights over an over (+ normalization) until it reaches the output. When you train it with inputs whose outputs have are the process of applying some polynomial to those inputs, the weights can be set so that the output very closely approximates that polynomial. It never needs to know the base, and less randomness will help because the computations within the neural network match very well with the function you want to approximate. Still, it is not as simple, as outputting the correct ASCII representation is a challenge for example when carry is involved (100009999999999 + 1), however, the emergence of good arithmetic from a neural network itself should not be shocking.
Good. We have Currents at work. It seemed to be pushed on us, through being corporate G-suite (or whatever it's branded as now?) users. It's just not good. It's a n+1 information channel, but:

a) it isn't integrated into anything else (unless you subscribe to fill your email inbox with updates) meaning you either have to consciously remember to check it, or you miss out on a bunch of stuff that's shared there.

b) it doesn't have enough else as a 'draw' to make it into enough of an interesting social network to hook you into using it organically.
Legal and criminal responsibility for actions while governing leads to a situation commonly seen in a number of republics, most prominently ancient Rome, which the creators of the American constitution desperately wanted to avoid. While in office, you're safe to some degree with the powers of the office. Once out of office, you're an immediate legal target and all the lawsuits get filed. Solution? Don't leave office. Avoiding that is the basic logic behind immunity in political office; stable transfer of power breaks down when you know your successor is going to imprison you.
It's just my gut feeling based on experience. I have never seen software problems that are fundamentally different on the macro scale from the micro scale. I have never met anyone who was great at debugging segfaults in C code that was not also an amazing architect. I have never met a great architect that wasn't also amazing at debugging segfaults. To me software development is like math and there is no material difference between "high-level" math and "low-level" math.

Turning over a room (to make it habitable for a next guest) costs wages, and that's just the bare minimum cost that I can think of. There are probably a dozen hidden costs associated with allowing someone to stay in a room.

"Who can print money" and "who can introduce money into the economy" are not the same question.

Obviously, only the federal government can change the rate of printing new dollars. But inflation of the monetary supply, in practice, is not merely about "how many dollars are in existence." It's about "how many dollars are circulating in the economy."

Thus, given how much money has been hoarded by the very wealthy over the past 50 years, they have an unprecedented ability to cause inflation themselves simply by deciding to spend more of it.

I've come to learn that anything online is impermanent. Websites/communities/gaming/business/programming languages - it will all eventually be deprecated for something newer/faster/better - Honestly, the only thing that is mostly untouched are the underlying protocols - and there are plans to change those as well. The absolute worst part about it is the loss of history, however even the physical world can't escape that - like tears in the rain.
You mean when Blue did everything they could to prevent SpaceX from gaining a contract. Blue complained to GAO and lost. Then Blue started a propaganda campaign propagating lies about SpaceX and tried to get is bought politicians to force NASA to change, then they sued NASA.

After all of that, with SpaceX never actually doing anything to Blue, all they did was offer a way better option to the government.
The only problem I've had with booking.com was when I ended up in a place that would have been bad for an AirBnb. It seems to be a similar problem to Amazon. I had the impression that I could expect the places on there to all be at least professional. It seems I'm not alone as everyone I've told about it has been surprised that such a place was on booking.com. It would have been expected from AirBnb.
Often it's less planned.

I spoke to someone recently who was bragging about all the contractors who had to suck up to him to land the project. I met a guy who purposely leaves out contact details from a job posting, saying that he automatically rejects anyone who wouldn't go to the effort of searching what they do and where they are (it was a 4 man startup).

One company I applied for needed a video cover letter. I met the HR at a job fair once and told her I didn't apply because the video cover letter wasn't worth my time. She told me that engineers didn't need to do that; it was more for other jobs that were easier to recruit for.
> Or are they just very high poly and still coloured individually?

Yes, all what is flying, moving or is infrastructure object ("aircraft" or "ground" addons) is just fully polygonal 3D models without texture support.

Textures used only for the next objects:

- "scenery" ground surface ("elevated terrain" has texture projected from behind surface texture);

- "clouds";

- "explosion ball" and "explosion smoke";

- "smoke from smoke generators" (which could be enabled for aircraft).

Thats all, and all those textures could be disabled in YSFlight options.

They've consolidated mostly on https://chat.google.com. Hangouts is nearly dead (Starting a video call just sends a message with a Google meet link, and messaging is compatible with Chat so there's no barrier for switching) and Allo is dead and Talk is long dead. Basically the only things they have for chat now are Chat (basically a Slack clone), Messages (a SMS/MMS/RCS app for Android), and Voice (VoIP with SMS/MMS).
My education was in chemistry, I've wondered about this topic before. Visible light is actually special after removing the happenstance of DNA-based visual systems from the picture: IR tends to twist or translate bonds (warming) and UV tends to ionize.

Visible light being right in the middle is the trick which gives us photosynthesis, and sight, because in both cases a photon can be captured by a photosensitive bond. It's harder to come up with plausible photosensitive bonds for IR light, and most anything is photosensitive once you get far enough into UV.

All biodegradable materials don't degrade the same in every condition. For example, both cedar timber and romaine lettuce are biodegradable, but you wouldn't coat your exterior walls in romaine lettuce. But if I buried both in humid soil and waited 10 years before digging them back up, I'd likely see no sign of either.

Most plastics are not biodegradable. They don't degrade in any condition. If I buried a fidget spinner and waited 10, 100, or 1,000 years, It'd still likely find most of a fidget spinner when I dug it up.

"Likely" in your sentence seems like something orders of magnitude below the 0.03% fisa court stamp rate though. A fail rate that low means the exact opposite of what you're saying, which is that it would be a waste of time to be so careful because making a mistake and having to redo it 1% of the time would be overall faster (and that's still assuming the government only targeted entirely "correct" cases)

In my experience 0.03% is below rate of form-filling / typographical errors that don't get caught even with several proofreaders.

I don't get this argument as the reverse is also true. If the US wants to buy French cheese and wine, it needs Euros to do that and the ECB can just print Euros out of thin air.

I found the key quote to be

"My husband, of course, had agreed to this in principle, but didn’t realize just how many devices I had planted on him. Of the seven trackers, he found only two: a Tile he felt in the breast pocket of his coat and an AirTag in his backpack when he was looking for something else. “It is impossible to find a device that makes no noise and gives no warning,” he said, when I showed him the ones he missed."

which I read as "Apple needs to improve, but still drastically better than everything else out there"

I am not in the market for AirTags, but if you are completely scatterbrained and this provides you a helpful way to manage your stuff, AirTags seem to be least bad way of doing this.
It's a great angle on the communication side of science.

I think the notion of "great man" like the genius of "Einstein" or "Newton" is seriously skewed. If you take a closer look at their correspondence and upbringing, they both were very well "connected" in their own ways beforehand.

This picture of a loner sitting bored at a Patent Office and all by himself coming up with 4 groundbreaking papers (photoelectric effect, brownian motion, special relativity) in 1905 - [or Newtons "annus mirabilis" after fleeing Cambridge University because of the plague in 1665 and "quarantining" himself for 2 years in his native village (by his own account (!) there he singlehandendly developed integral calculus, dicovered the composite nature of light and finally refined his gravitational theory)] - readily highlights the individual instances of "genius" which I do not want to dismiss here - but entirely blanks out how those free floating ideas were able to circulate and bounce off each other giving rise to those great insights in the "quiet" moments of those "geniuses".

Only after their recognition of "genius" they seemed to develop some really unhealthy stubbornness.

Newton - beginning in 1686 with his publication of the Principia - "disputing" any influence Hooke might have had and at his height of power letting his "Royal Society" create a comittee to decide against Leibniz "priority" regarding "calculus" in 1712).

Einstein beginning with the Bohr debate (1927 onwards) and productively contributing to the EPR paradox in 1934 (further developed by Bell to the infamous "Bell's theorem") felt more and more "misunderstood" and isolated himself to work on his own "unified field theory" and from then on did not participate in any of the "quantum mechanics" of his time.

> You think that people speak of torture lightly?

Yes. It’s easy to find people who claim, for example, that’s it’s torture to wear a mask during the pandemic. This is especially common with NIMBYs who are trying to make their case sound more persuasive than “I don’t like change”.

That’s not to say that there aren’t valid complaints here but it’s important to remember the selection bias: people who don’t mind don’t seek out reporters to tell their story. There’s a long history of this — I’m reminded of the various “electro-sensitivity” hoaxes involving complaints about cell towers starting months before they were even powered on — so the first thing you’d want to ask is how broadly shared these concerns are, followed by the trade offs (living next to a windmill beats living next to a coal power plant, for example), and putting it in perspective (windmills kill birds, but so do windows and fossil fuel plants - both at much greater rates).

I'm not parroting a talking point, and personal attacks are inappropriate.

None of the assertions on the propaganda page you linked changes the simple and indisputable fact that it's impossible to know what effects something will have in a longer timeline unless your study covers a longer timeline.

Science has no room for claims of being psychic.

EDIT: To be clear, the page is propaganda because it (a) is intended to influence public opinion and (b) is clearly dishonest, in that the concern is about the abbreviated clinical trials, but none of the explanations address the length of clinical trials.

McCarthy is a pretty unique figure in US history in that he was infamous for propagating the second "red scare" in the US. That's not to discredit these reports by any means, but it's not like he was do-gooder either. He was a vicious politician that didn't hesitate to accuse his enemies of being communist, which sometimes resulted in arrest and prosecution. [0]"McCarthyist" anti-communist (i.e. opposition political organization) laws were passed that were later struck down by the Supreme Court.

His ability to accumulate power this way made him a major political target, which isn't quite the same as someone just trying to reel in the 3 letter agencies.

0: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/McCarthyism
This is all correct. The issue is that we've gotten in the mode of not prosecuting our political enemies once they're out of office. That's actually a very important political precedent that has largely served us well. The peaceful transfer of power from the Federalists to the Democratic-Republicans was a huge deal in 1800 and it guaranteed that subsequent transitions (mostly) followed the same model. The problem is, there were no tripwires: what was too far for a president to go? Ford pardoned Nixon, which may have been the right move at the time (I'm mixed), but it became mixed up with the peaceful transfer of power tradition and basically was interpreted as a free pass.

I think we may be about to see the the end of the tradition of get out of jail free cards for former presidents, but I don't know what the long term consequences will be.
And we shouldn’t be surprised when they politically witch hunt and otherwise get nothing accomplished.
I mean, one could... but we all know reality has this pesky leftist bias. So what's the point? /s

Factories really exist because classes are not programmable in many popular OO languages as they are in Smalltalk. Languages inspired by C++ (Java, C#) tend to have factories. Microsoft used the unfortunate term "ClassFactory" in COM/OLE when they really meant one or the other, as it is a factory of objects just like a Smalltalk class.

Other OO languages don't have lots of explicit factories. I'm thinking Objective-C (abstract classes can choose the appropriate subclass for new objects), Python (packages tend to have instantiation functions), Ruby (very flexible), CLOS, etc. So the factory is really a design pattern that popped up to address a specific language deficiency caused by losing a lesson discovered in the late 70s (metaclasses).

Other design patterns are really quite useful and I don't see how they can be called deficiencies. Facades, for example, are widely used in OO and non-OO systems. Template method is duplicated similarly in procedural languages that allow dynamic dispatch, in any place where you need a policy that delegates parts of its fulfillment to a more dynamically selectable part. Iterators, strategies, these things have widespread use. Builder and Prototype are frequently used outside of OO. Adapter, Bridge and Proxy also appear in various ways without OO. Many of the other patterns are OO specific mainly because there is no desire to send a message to an object in other languages. For example, Flyweight is unnecessary if you don't send messages to objects.

Without OO, a lot of domains would end up with some sort of implementation of the same thing. OO itself is a pattern in this sense. You can write Javascript in a functional way, but it makes sense to encapsulate the HTML AST and not have its memory manipulated directly by the language. Does it make a lot of difference whether you put the node as the first parameter to a function or whether you use it as the target of a message? As some functions apply to only certain kinds of nodes, does it make more sense to document those functions by the list of known nodes that they apply to, or as a hierarchy of nodes?

People often say that inheritance is the problem, but you look at a successful (in terms of utility) object system like Smalltalk and it has quite a lot of inheritance. Refactoring leads to that. Sometimes a parent class might exist just to provide one implementation of a single method for two different kinds of object. Whether this is accomplished through inheritance, mix-ins, monkey-patching, protocols, multiple dispatch, or whatever, is somewhat immaterial. But when a language makes that difficult, and you have to copy-paste to get the same functionality in multiple places, that can be a problem.

Hey man, that really sucks. If you're US or West EU based, and you work for a medium-large company, this is definitely something you can approach HR with, although it might be worth talking to your boss about first. Discrimination based on a medical condition IS protected in most of those jurisdictions. If this is happening on a routine basis, it's important to record, in a journal, the 5 'W's - Who, what, when, where, why - so that you can have your ducks in a row.

If it's a small company, you may just have to talk to the owner - and if he doesn't do something, you may need to go to court. You may need to find a new job, in either case.

This whole thing sucks, and unfortunately I have no easy answers for you. See if you can get some time with a speech therapist, but really that's besides the point. I'm sorry this is happening to you, but you do have options.
