I really like this podcast.

If anyone is interested in podcasts from or about India (mostly history related), here I list some:

- Scroll & Leaves - https://scrollsandleaves.com/

- Incarnations: India in 50 lives - https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b05rptbv

- History of India - https://overcast.fm/itunes1041684187/the-history-of-india-po...

- Desi Stones and Bones - https://desistonesandbones.org

- Echoes of India - https://shows.ivmpodcasts.com/show/echoes-of-india-a-history...

There are two fine BBC podcasts on modern India (last colonial years and onwards) but those are in Hindi (ones I am aware of) and have pleasantly short episodes.

Then there’s the contemporary Seen and the Unseen (https://seenunseen.in) having pleasantly very long episodes.

Testing used to be part of the process of a publisher. If they have more testing staff than they need, they could use some people to test games that they're publishing. Maybe to improve quality of games on their store as a way to entice people to buy things from their store (although, presumably issues that are found in this way would be fixed everywhere if the developer fixes them), or maybe as a way to entice people to publish with them.
I'm confused about what the benefit of a malleable cipher is if you still have a HMAC. Is it just for Alice or Bob to be able to say "that's our ciphertext but not our symmetric key"? But in that case the HMAC would also need to be forged, right? If Eve publishes the ciphertext and the legitimate plaintext and the legitimate key, wouldn't Alice and Bob have to say "that's a forged HMAC" with a malleable cipher versus "all of that is forged" with a non-malleable cipher? How is the former more deniable?

Unless the point is that Eve isn't trying to expose the messages so much as be certain they are produced by Alice and Bob? But in that case, how would Eve have gotten a fourth party's forgery in the first place?
It's a terrible look — one that you can't avoid with 100% certainty even with a Google or Microsoft email!
I read that as minified/obfuscated. Which is not gpl compliant (not going to quote directly but there's language in there about having to provide the source in is preferred form for editing).
I remember reading this in a class a few years later where we were studying Neuromancer in like gr. 12 English (alternative school), and if there's something I feel like I haven't seen since the 90s, it's a couple of guys talking about fiction. The books and authors they talk about were pillars of teenage aspiring intellectuals' ontology of the world. Books at the time were these rarefied pleasures, where they weren't cheap, they took a lot of time, and you never knew whether you would meet someone who would have read it too, but it really mattered when you did, because it was like having grown up together in a way, or being from the same place. Anyway, even in the world of infinite podcasts, that conversation transscript between those two guys stands the test of time as amazing.
What seems more effective in bringing about change to you: trying to teach others to not exploit the system by setting an example and hoping they emulate your behavior, or changing the system so that those behaviors are prohibited?

You can lay the blame on individuals all you want, but you're just going to be attacking symptoms, not the the problem.

I'm sick of this notion that having the government "step in" is a bad thing. There is no purpose to government if not to be used to act in public's benefit.
We can be certain the CPI has been corrupted since at least the Boskin commission in 1996. Taxes and entitlements are tied to inflation. The Boskin commission determined if they could find the CPI was over-stated by 1.1% they could save $1 Trillion over 10 years. Magically, with no new research, they came up with a justification to lower the CPI estimate by 1.1%.

Raising taxes and cutting Social Security without getting caught is the third rail of politics. The amount of pressure to find ways to do this is immense.

This is the level of corruption you are dealing with. We are not even on a path from "here" to a place where the CPI is an actual fair estimation of inflation. Most people don't even know this is a problem. It's too complicated for regular folks to even deal with and all the establishment political figures are in on it, so they obviously won't draw attention to it.
The signing key gets published right after the recipient verifies the message with it. Also, the signing key is derived from the encryption key, so you always know the former if you know the latter.
Hijacking the subject, what's the SOTA for visual reasoning? The only one I can find is COG from 2018 https://paperswithcode.com/paper/a-dataset-and-architecture-...
Currency, as a concept, is very precisely defined and also exhaustively studied. Actual currency is also controlled by policy-makers and regulatory regimes in every country on earth. Actual currency is a complex concept but one that has been with human civilization for as long as it has been around. One decent definition here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Currency

Of course if you are asking as a rhetorical question - there is room for improvement. BUT - there have been millennia of variations on the concept, experiments, and many failures. As recent history, why don't you read about the United States prior to the Federal Reserve Act. Each state (or even smaller jurisdictions or communities) could produce their own currencies. Company towns operated on their own scrip (analogous to their own chains). How was that? Imagine taking a trip from Town A to Town B and discovering that your money is not accepted at the Town B tavern and inn. Or, is accepted but at a 50% discount to Town B's currency. Which is not accepted for purchase in town A. That was reality in the US and in other places too.

Actual modern fiat currency is still imperfect, as is every cryptocurrency, every computer, and every other thing devised by humans. But. Somehow we have around $90 trillion (equivalent) of economic activity on our humble and imperfect planet, operating on fiat currency systems.

So, I'd ask back, (1) what are the shortcomings of this amazingly successful world economy that operates on fiat currencies and (2) how, precisely, does cryptocurrency improve upon these shortcomings, WITHOUT creating negative externalities that negate proposed benefit?
Even if it's a phish, the scale suggests a systemic issue. I doubt NFT people are that much more gullible than the average phishing victim.
Reinforcement learning is rarely a good choice
Say i want to print the Nth column of programs output how easy it is compared to awk?
This example above is the entire dict file, not the wordle file, so it might be worth looking at this.

I'd have to check the version history, but while 15 bits is the default it's also the maximum, and you can go down to 8. Hardware has gotten a lot faster.
What I did several years ago is coordinate pads between phones by hand. A pretty-dense QR code can pass something like 1400 bytes. Two people who see each other regularly could do this. Long-distance arrangements take a bit more thought.
So unsecured personal loans? Those depend on your credit which most students don't have much/any and your debt-to-income which is normally infinite for students because they don't work. You would massively screw over kids whose parents cannot pay/co-sign a normal loan as it would force them to work and study.

Also, you normally cannot get very much with such low income and cherry on top, they have awful interest rates which range from about 6% to 36%. The APR on loans for borrowers with excellent credit is around 12%; it's about 29% for bad credit borrowers which students with no credit are likely to be.

Edit: If you work at target for 2 8 hour days on the weekend making 15 an hour and with a 36% debt-to-income ratio limit, you could afford a payment of $374.4 a month. $15,000 punched in a 30 year repayment at 29% interest rate equals a $362.57 payment with $0.07 interest. So you might be able to do it but it would hate to be working every single day between weekend work and weekly school.

Because it's happened before. Leafyishere had 5 million subs but his channel got deleted from getting 3 "bullying" strikes all at once.
I didn’t really believe it would work until I tried it, but having a fan blowing on you at high speed works to cool your whole body, including inside the headset. I no longer experience fogging of lenses or sweat dripping down into my eyes, which previously would become a problem after 15 minutes of intense activity. An added bonus is that the breeze can give you a sense of which direction you’re facing.

I wrote "governments"... plural. And while both comments are critical of "governments", my comment clearly disagrees with the parent's assertion that governments do not fund whole rewrite projects "Mostly because it's not clear that from-scratch rewrites produce better results".
I’m not blaming individuals just calling out “talk is cheap”.

Sitting comfortably behind a computer claiming someone else should fix a problem is easy. Actually doing something (no matter how small) isn’t.
Not in the USA.

"Some research suggests that there may be an ongoing reversed Flynn effect (i.e., a decline in IQ scores) in Norway, Denmark, Australia, Britain, the Netherlands, Sweden, Finland, and German-speaking countries,[4] a development which appears to have started in the 1990s.[5][6][7][8] In certain cases, this apparent reversal may be due to cultural changes which render parts of intelligence tests obsolete.[9] Meta-analyses indicate that, overall, the Flynn effect continues, either at the same rate[10] or at a slower rate in developed countries.[11][12]"
Since you are paid customers you should escalate your issue through Google Workspace support https://support.google.com/a/answer/1047213?hl=en

Insist that your issue be escalated to an internal bug so that it is properly triaged.

Even if the videos were deleted as part of the suspension, it's highly likely that there are still multiple backups and cached versions in Google's systems. They should be able to help you restore them at the very least.
I think only you actually have all the context to be able to make that decision. Don’t let it be decided by a vote from people who don’t know you based on five sentences of limited information.
Google is the fucking worst. A few years ago I uploaded a bunch of music to Google Music, rather than carrying it around with me through different computers and backups. This was a bunch of priceless stuff -- mp3s from tiny bands (some of whom I personally knew) that cannot be gotten anywhere anymore, recordings of my own bands in college, etc. Of course I deleted them from my devices, and then a few weeks ago I want to listen to one of the songs, and it turns out they're all gone forever. Google Music discontinued a while ago. How do I get these songs back? I literally have zero recourse.
Can't you use regular desktop chips in workstations?
I'd contest that idea. Although they may have more knowledge or be intellectual I'd argue people two or three generations back were far more capable than our current population.

They'd be able to fix their own cars, frame their own houses,etc. Most people these days struggle to change their own oil.
Yep, even if you pay Gsuite you get some guy in the middle of nowhere earth just feeding you macros for support. They don't care at all big gov contracts is their business
Whenever I see stuff from lawyers especially stuff with litigation, seems like the font size, typeface, and white space always punch me in the eye it's so gruesome.

There is nothing dangerous with being shown more relevant ads.

Keep local copies. Seriously.
Similar vein, very well done. Title is click bait, the material is well balanced https://www.abc.net.au/radionational/programs/stuff-the-brit...
One of my favorite podcasts. The quality is very high, and his voice is very calming. Highly recommend.
Perhaps it's a distasteful thing to say, but humans (all of us, myself included) are not particularly good at certain types of decisions, for at least a few reasons:

1) we suck at making decisions when the optimal decision requires delaying gratification.

2) some decisions are just so terribly complex (eg.: the pros and cons of vaccinations) that if you don't follow expert advice and try and build up your understanding from scratch, you're extremely unlikely to arrive at a sensible conclusion.
You delegated the only and original copies of the works to a cloud entity?

This wasn't YouTube's fault. It was your company's. Let this be a lesson to you and start making offline, offsite backups of your work.

Today it was YouTube, tomorrow it could be ransomware. Be glad it was only some videos.
It's just a matter of poor wording. I would hope that everyone's pedantry would be at bay should the title be "New atomic clock loses only one 300 billionth of a second every year".
What OS are you going to run on these chips? ARM has reasonable support, but SPARC is declining, for eg Debian only has an unofficial port, so no stable release, no security upgrades.
Huh. Nr 2 is applicable to me. Will give it a try. Can’t see how it’ll fix my permanent indexing, but maybe it’ll at least feel faster.

My heap size is already at 3GB, which I feel should be enough for opening a bunch of 5kb text files :/
Insightful writeup!

I am just not sure what did you mean to discourage in part A.

> A) If you're writing high-performance code DON'T you _will_ hit bottlenecks which are non-trivial to the language unless you're a guru.

DON'T do what? don't try to hyper-optimize your code? don't use all types of "fancy" constructs like how the post shows?
That's pretty unbelievable, wow.
YouTube deleted my account a few months ago. The reason was totally unfounded and I had no recourse. I’m pretty certain some AI flagged my account and instead of a sensible approach like
1) notify the user that something they did was flagged.
2) point to the instance where the supposed bad behavior happened and allow review/context by humans
3) see that my YouTube account was 12-13 years old and had only a handful of personal videos and 1-2 public videos and that I have a long history of not behaving badly

Instead I got a flippant response to my query as to why it was deleted and I quote: “Yeah I’m going to go ahead and deny your claim”.

As far as I’m concerned the less Google I have in my life from now on the better. While I don’t think that the other options are much better, this incident has changed me from having not much of an opinion on Google to having a pretty seething dislike for them.
> If I were a serviceman and knew I was going to places with lots of drugs, and that I had a weakness, I would maybe ask my CO to test me every x days while there.

Try this scenario again but without knowledge of the impact your decision will have and without a benevolent and cooperative support structure and I think it will more accurately describe what many people go through.

Your scenario is from an ideal perspective: full information, full awareness and unlimited help from the community. Not everyone has all of those benefits.

FYI, I don’t think the servicemen had an addiction to opioids prior to Vietnam.

Drugs (and most “poor” decisions) aren’t usually offered up with a fair and balanced perspective, it’s more of a “hey, try this” and you’re already in a hole before you knew it was a hole. Same with healthy eating, financial literacy, etc.

If you were raised in a poor, high-crime community by parents who made poor life choices and still found the time to learn about healthy meal prep, workout buddies and proper budgeting, then that’s amazing and kudos to you for overcoming a deck stacked against you.
It's noticeably better for me (on an NTT reseller) and most people in Japan, although I understand that's because the ISP is deliberately underprovisioning their IPv4 connections to create that incentive.
That PC should be more than adequate.

I wouldn’t personally recommend the official link cable — it’s expensive, and in my case it was flaky. I’m currently using a cable made by Cable Matters[0] that works well.

Most people buy the Steam version, though either can work. I personally lean more towards Steam so if I change headsets to something non-Facebook (like Valve’s rumored upcoming quest competitor), I can still play Beat Saber without a second purchase or weird hacks.

For installing mods, ModAssistant[1] has worked well for me. It’s pretty foolproof; the “standard” mods are pre-selected for installation by default, so for a minimal setup just open ModAssistant, point it at your Beat Saber installation, and install the standard mod set. From there you can search and install custom maps in-game.

I don’t have too many other useful links for you, but r/beatsaber on Reddit is pretty active and good for asking questions that haven’t already been covered by that subreddit’s wiki.

What's new is the democratization of falsified images, not their existence. Nowadays, local police investigating a small crime would never doubt the veracity of photo or video evidence. If they are provided video evidence of someone committing a burglary, they won't do advanced analysis on the image before sentencing the person.

This won't fool the FBI investigating the murder of a minister, but many authorities with less resources have to rely on video evidence. Very soon, anyone will be able to fabricate incriminating evidence with little effort. Unless tools catch up, this could become a serious problem.
Except nobody is wearing Batista shirts.
Over a year ago Google Music sent out notices that users can download or migrate their uploaded media to YouTube Music via https://music.youtube.com/transfer. There really wasn't a shortage of notices and blog posts across a wide variety of media outlets instructing people to migrate and warning when Google Music was shutting down.

Murphy's should be more than sufficient.

Mackay (Information Theory, Inference, and Learning Algorithms) and Bishop (Pattern Recognition and Machine Learning) are also commonly recommended but their books are all more than a decade old.
yes more specialized search engines :D
Push to talk can be nice though IME requires diligence and trust. I had a private Mumble server to chat with coworkers outside the company resources. It was OK-ish. Folks didn't really buy in to the always stay connected then push to talk or side rooms style.

Slack seems to be trying to find a middle path with huddles.
Lesson learnt, if you have an idea, even most mundane, boring one; don't just go about writing it openly -- there are too many IBMs that will claim as their own.
Consider checking out Holofit. When I tried both 18 months ago, Holofit was leaps and bounds better, and I still use it daily.
A paper is a better specification for code than pretty much any design doc I've seen. It's usually not that hard to figure out what qp and qs and q_enc stand for from the context. It's much preferable to listening to the software engineers who want to explode a simple 10 character expression into an unreadable rats nest of line-continuation logorrhea.

It may be _possible_ to have a verbose variable that makes it obvious what it corresponds to in the paper, but I've never seen it. That really rings like a No True Scotsman argument to my ear. I much prefer the creole of latex style naming that most researchers tend towards. For example, take this code/paper pair

https://www.web.stanford.edu/~boyd/l1_ls/

The first line in the main loop is

z = A*x-y;

Yes, they could have written

residual = dictionary_matrix * optimization_variable - sensed_data

or some such nonsense, but it is just exhausting to read. Further, it's actually more confusing because it conflates an application (compressed sensing) with what is actually a generic algorithm for l1 regularized least squares. This is a persistent problem with verbose names. In the search for an expressive name, people reach for names from a specific problem. This is a violation of separation of concerns.
By that logic, email phishing is a systemic issue — shut it all down!
I have designed task specific data structures/compression oriented around memory efficiency. In my experience this starts to crop up when datasets get big enough to trigger cost for performance sensitivity. This is especially true for SaaS offerings, where e.g. an ability to stay under the next RAM doubling can result in serious hosting savings.
Maybe your post is just worded oddly, but Intel ME existed long before Haswell.
They killed RSS because there was no solid means for data providers to ration, monetize and control individual access to their content. The decline of availability for RSS feeds wasn't based on waning popularity from what I observed. Back then RSS feeds simply went offline in droves, as everyone scrambled to figure out how in the heck to implement OAuth, and most people gave up trying to implement feeds after they came with monthly fees and when OAuth was forced on us by Twitter and Facebook etc... I'd even go as far as to say the requirements introduced for OAuth mainly served the horrible purpose of turning connecting to most (previously free and open) data sources into a fee based and tightly controlled commodity economy that made everyone go closed-data after external data became too janky, costly, and difficult to support.
The First Fifteen Lives of Harry August[1] by Claire North is the first book that jumps to mind when asked this question.

The Bobiverse series[2] by Dennis E. Taylor is a great fun read or audiobook (I've done both!).

The Xandri Corelel[3] series by Kaia Sønderby. I read both books and immediately started looking around to see if there were more.

I Am Not a Serial Killer[4] by Dan Wells was an enjoyable surprise.

The Martian and Project Hail Mary by Andy Weir.

Of older vintage that I find I've revisited over the years are:

The Chrysalids[5] by John Wyndham.

The White Mountains, The City of Gold and Lead, and The Pool of Fire which comprise The Tripod Trilogy[6] by John Christopher.

And the oft mentioned Dune by Frank Herbert is a book a reread every few years. Love the first book, don't care for the rest that much.

Favourite authors in general would have to include the following: Robert Sawyer, Timothy Zahn (when he's not writing Star Wars stuff), Michael Connelly, and Harlan Coben. Always enjoyable reads.
