No. More sophisticated cognitive abilities than previously modelled
using atemporal neural nets.

Anyone who has spent an afternoon being outwitted by a fly in their
study knows that even a common housefly can be cunning beyond belief.
It's not just that their reaction times out-pace humans. They seem to
remember, anticipate, plan and even deceive.

Those faculties seem inexplicable by a bottom-up network of 100,000
neurons using naive connectionist models we currently understand in
artificial networks. That's because time is missing from the
models. Biological networks are spiking, and (last I researched it)
can operate at up to 1kHz, and using integration, differentiation and
non-linear feedback can work like analogue computers (Hodgkin and
Izhikevich models). Instead of sending simple activation thresholds
around the network that's like sending network packets that can
perform remote procedure calls.

And yes, they love bananas.
Unfortunately this is a double edged sword.

Many times the West was very hesitant on acting against russia's shenanigans (most notably Georgia and Crimea), because "it will hurt the common person and not those who are making decisions".

Now russia is in de facto conventional war with Ukraine and in information/business war with __all__ of the West. putin is out of ideas and freaking blasting cities with bombs like it's London 1940. The West is still not enganging russia in conventional war, due to nukes, but if it's war why one side needs to cry, run, starve and die, when other nation can sit by their propaganda tv and eat the kool-aid.

In this new information age it's the only possible resistance against the regime - Iron Curtain 2.0. The West cannot win informational war inside russia. Those who know english and know how to use internet are mostly young Moscovites, everyone else is sucked into propaganda, there's not enough critical mass. Propaganda is at the same level that Germans did not know or believe that there are concentration camps next door.

Either topple the regime, leave [0] or be living under Iron Curtain 2.0 stand in lines for bread with your money that are worthless.

I believe the West tried for the longest time not to play into this "russophobia" card. The sanctions definitely work together with russian propaganda ("look wht those evil gay nazi imperialist west are doing for simple russian people"). And for the longest time big players like DE, UK, FR did not understand putin, compared to how post-soviet countries like the Baltics and Poland warned. DE for the longest time that you can work with putin like any other liberal democratic leader. Now all this is in the trash and everyone is united against putin.

I am repeating myself - but I guess it's the only way to work against putin. Conventional war with other superpowers will most likely mean nukes, i.e. end of the human world.

[0] I bet many young people from Moscow or Peter will attempt to do this.
> They're forced into a conflict they don't want to be in, and are suffering the consequences.

Ukrainians are also forced into a conflict they don't want. Unfortunately, it's up to both the Ukrainians and Russians to do something about it, not Ukrainians alone.

The Ukrainians clearly made their decision. Now it's up to the Russian people to make theirs.
True.

But the same issue with reacts way.
CNN finds that twice as many Russians believe it would be right for Moscow to use military force to prevent Kyiv from joining the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) as say it would be wrong.

One out of every two Russians (50%) says it would be right, while only a quarter (25%) say it would be wrong. The other quarter (25%) are unsure, according to the survey.

But the poll also found that more Russians think it would be wrong than right to use military force “to reunite Russia and Ukraine” – two countries with a long and complicated history of being intertwined.

It’s a close call, but 43% of Russians said use of military force against Ukraine to join it to Russia would be wrong, while 36% said it would be right. (The rest of the respondents said they didn’t know if it would be right or wrong.)

There's already been choice in the 10.3" eInk note pad segment, Kobo Elipsa, Fujitsu Quaderno, Boox Note and Note Air, Likebook P10W, Supernote A5X, etc. It's just such a niche thing combined with most of the devices being Asian focused and remarkable heavy online marketing that makes them seem like the only option.
There is the GameShell by ClockworkPi, but their screen choice was rather unfortunate. Can't scale up to 2x pico8 games without squash/trim on vertical axis (can't recall exactly which of the two it is)
I believe it is immoral/goes against my values
For a mega-corporation the size of Microsoft or Sony, not at all.

For a small business staffed entirely by enthusiasts, absolutely.

There always have been, and always will be, successful businesses based in niche novelties.
There is no "other company".

E-ink owns the parents, the fabs and the secret sauce to profitably producing quality e-ink film in good yelds.

Even without the parents, building fabs and the film profitably without their secret sauce would be impossible.

It's kind of like the early days of OLED when Samsung was the only one who could fab the tech profitably.
Someone else has mentioned the Boox Note Air.

I'm kind of hoping Amazon create one, and use ebook sales to subsidise the hardware cost.
You can get to the border, but it will be hard to impossible to cross it legally right now.
As far as I could tell, around that time (and even now to some extent) the amount of activity on StackOverflow is used to measure the popularity of a project.

Angular had a "made by google" kind of logo on its website, indicating to many people that it's of high quality and worth adopting.

But Angular was also so convoluted and had so many problems that so many people kept running into random problems all the time and had to ask questions about them on SO. This signals (incorrectly) that Angular is popular, driving more people to believe it's worthwhile to adopt it.

Knockout had neither. It was not sponsored by a corporation. And it was so good that you hardly ever run into random problems.

Ultimately it was eclipsed by React and Typescript because lack of type checking for the html templates means it's hard to scale it will to large projects.
One of the basic metrics that EA people track is "neglect," so if there's a way to make a big impact that actually seems possible to do, but also there's already a lot of people and money doing it (ie., it's not "neglected"), then EA people will mostly just let the other people do it.

The idea is to spend each marginal dollar in a high impact way, and a marginal dollar into a cause area that is already flush with cash won't make a big difference.

Getting more talent (instead of money) into the field is a different kind of intervention, but the energy field fails a different metric here which is "tractability," in the sense that EA people don't have any particular expertise or advantage in recruiting or training game-changing talent for the field, so it's not "tractable" even though it would hypothetically be nice if more top talent were in the field.
Look, long time ago I became aware that most people who use "democracy" or "freedom" like it's a new kind of religion are permanently brainwashed, you can't even know what's trolling anymore. Anyway, I won't go deep into why certain countries are doing well economically (hint, try to think of the current world order as an empire, some people are punished some are rewarded and most of it is controlled by the empire capital, Japan & S.Korea are useful to surround China so they get to play certain role, when Japan do better than expected/allowed it get punished for that with sanctions, etc).
The point is even if we accepted "democracy" and "freedom" as the new religion, US is the most anti-new-religion country here, US supported the worst dictatorships and still doing that (Saddam, KSA, UAE, South Africa, Sadat & Mubarak Egypt, Jordan, Israel....) and it attempted uncountable number of successful or failed coups around the world since at least 1940's (Syria). All or most US actions can be clearly explained by some geopolitical / Economical reasons. we really can't know if the "middle east" can do better or not until USA leave it alone and stop stealing/controlling it's oil or orchestrating a war there every few years.
It might happened that you were born in some rich country that got benefited from the current world order, enjoy that before it ends (it's changing a bit right now actually) but don't assume that you have the higher moral ground to tell how other people should live, because you don't.
It’s true that Erlang/Elixir/OTP have this solved in that ecosystem, as I mention in the post. When we talked to dozens of teams that have internally built tech like this already, only one had gone that route.

In general I haven’t seen any really data-heavy apps in Elixir, are there examples I should be looking at? It could be interesting to compare performance.
In terms of the placeholders in JSX, no they are escaped.
Why borrow cash when they can just print more money? Same effect.
I am talking about fossil energy
The Google threat you can still mitigate or even escape.

The US government one you can't. Sorry. As much as I wish I were wrong, the hardware is probably backdoored, so no custom OS will save you. Even if it weren't a phone by design has to communicate with radio towers (backdoored) and even if you get the most secure phone in the world you still have to communicate and pay for some exotic hardware. Guess who will get added to a list of suspicious people to put an extra eye on?
If you memoize you turn either of them into constant time. So it's an improvement to factorial (albeit less dramatic) and in practise if you later on reach for a higher factorial than you have previously calculated you don't need to start from scratch which is a real-world speedup although the O is still linear.

That said obviously the decision of whether to memoize depends on whether the function is going to be called more than once. If you're not calling fibbonacci more than once there is a closed form solution which is better for many input values than any of these methods.
Political asylum.

This is a decent thread that has some visuals, some others have created 3d models demonstrating the blind spots the cameras have.
Actually, one of the fascinating facts about the history of PCR is that Kary Mullis didn't optimize to make billions on the patent rights. In his Nobel acceptance speech, he reminisces about how a coworker told him to quit his job and start another company before submitting an invention disclosure on PCR, but he didn't do that.

My friend Ron Cook, who had founded Biosearch, and produced the first successful commercial DNA synthesis machine, was the only person I remember during that summer who shared my enthusiasm for the reaction. He knew it would be good for the oligonucleotide business. Maybe that’s why he believed it. Or maybe he’s a rational chemist with an intact brain. He’s one of my best friends now, so I have to disqualify myself from claiming any really objective judgement regarding him. Perhaps I should have followed his advice, but then things would have worked out differently and I probably wouldn’t be here on the beach in La Jolla writing this, which I enjoy. Maybe I would be rich in Tahiti. He suggested one night at his house that since no one at Cetus had taken it seriously, I should resign my job, wait a little while, make it work, write a patent, and get rich.
Namecheap is just being cheap. With all the racist extremist groups on your server, it is with the common russian resident that you want virtue signal?
Will it have a browser?

It would be great for reading HN, coding, writing if I could use it with a browser.

I do all these in the browser and I only need black and white and no fancy tools. So even if the browser is much slower than on a desktop, it would still be great.
Maybe they are not currently but they could. Look at Cuba, US sanctions prevent even common medicine and food from being imported.
I was on the receiving end of sanction (better say my parents, I was young living with them) in Yugoslavia. Sanctions just produced extreme poverty, hyperinflation and give more reason to bad actors/dictators to appoint even more extreme measures and justifications for them. Guys who are in power can even more easily hold to the power and use force against the populous. Destroying free media and maxing propaganda and sadly average person falls for propaganda if it is fed to him daily.
IDK of one good example where sanctions toppled a dictator, Cuba, Yugoslavia, North Korea, Iran, Russia, etc...
Not saying nothing should be done, but this wide spread canceling of everything Russian will hurt ordinary people who will be in even less power to do something now.
In what year?
Definitely not. He's trying to put a neutralized Ukraine and friendly Belarus between Russia and the eastern border of NATO. This is standard practice for Russia. They already succeeded temporarily once with the Warsaw Pact.

Injecting fairness into machine-learning models
Doesn't look like it, only continental europe & uk. The bands it supports are in use by Sprint and T-mobile though, so if you import it it will probably work on those carriers.
I don't know.
Really.

I just wanted to add another view on some sanctions effects from inside the country that attacked their neighbour (I still have a problem beleiving this).
> So if all these sanctions are there to frustrate people to create a coup and a revolution - its currently working in the opposite direction.

I do not believe that is the purpose. I think the idea is to make it costly for Putin to go forward. Sadly this is at the cost of the well-being of the russian population.
Enjoy living in the stone age.
> What you are implying here is that SWIFT ban is not that big of a deal as there are alternatives.

I don't think it's so much that, but the UK and US bans on dollar clearance for banking which happened a few days before the SWIFT block actually did 90% of the work that the SWIFT ban is getting the credit for.

It's like turning off the metadata layer two days after putting an axe through the ethernet cable.

Well yeah, but the same stands for USA and many other nato countries, that are currently occupying foreign lands... And there are many of them. This is not the good guys vs the bad guys here, this is basically stalin and hitler not agreeing divison of poland.

I live in a small balkan country, and we also have our soldiers in kosovo, syria, libanon etc... what right do we have to point the finger at russia? USA is currently bombing somalia. China is looking greedily at taiwan... etc.

If "everyone else" can do it, why not putin? If not putin, why do we let usa do it? Ukraine is just another equivalent of iraq, afghanistan, etc.

This would be a great time to say "stop" in nato, start acting as just a defensive organization, stop all the nato members meddling abroad, and say "NO" to both putin and USA, and everyone else who wants anything outside their own borders.

> There is no such thing like Russian soul.

There is: https://ru.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/%D0%A0%D1%83%D1%81%D1%81%D0%.... That you don't understand it does not make it less real.

As I understand it (I'm from Poland, not exactly Russia, but we share enough culture and history) it's a way of describing something between culture and attitude to life. It's not limited to a phenomenon of extreme political apathy combined with distrust of anyone unknown (this is called homo sovieticus), but also a way of coping with learned helplessness, mostly by expression in family and close relatives.

I know, old -- but there are some comments in Haiku groups in various places that they are planning a relaunch.

It was a good-looking distro. I ran it for a while, and while it was basically Xubuntu but themed, it was very _nicely_ themed. Looked good, felt good, worked well. If you liked BeOS, which I did, a lot.
I'm joking, of course. You CAN use MCP, if you need to. It won't be a pleasant experience, however. It can sense your fear.

R2 is $399, judging from the EUR retail price of €499 inc. VAT this will likely retail at $499 in US.

It is not cheaper than R2.

Maybe this is a neurodiversity thing but for me going backwards to calculate something like a factorial recursively is hard to think about. It's exactly the same as if someone was trying to teach something about structural integrity in architecture and they said "OK you want to build a staircase. Imagine you're hovering in the air and you start to build stairs down..." I can't concentrate on whatever point they're trying to make with the example because I can't really get over the fact that it's easier to build from the bottom and not hover in the air in the first place.
I wonder if there's an immediate mode framework for Js, in the vein of IMGUI for C. If people are wondering what that is, it's basically this:

function renderGui()
{
label('hello')
if(button('click me'))
{
console.log('I have been clicked')
}
}
The craziness of SPA frameworks running headless browsers, rediscovering SSR as if they are inventing something that no one else thought about, proves otherwise.
That's my interpretation as well. As I said elsewhere, I recall the last maniac to promise a "Greater $nation" in Europe did cause an immeasurable amount of suffering while trying to establish what was basically an empire built on lies and deception. It's difficult to believe that in this iteration the aggressor might be "saturated" after invading the first country and everyone lives happily ever after. (sry for the /s in the end, but it makes the thought more bearable).

//Edit Appendix, historical background: I'm alluding to Nazi Germany that tried to "re"establish a mixture of the German Empire (which existed in one form or another for nearly a millennium from 962 to some time in the early 19th century) and the Roman Empire; hence the name "3rd Empire" and the aspiration for it to last another millennium. After invading Poland the popular opinion was that Hitler was "saturated" and would leave the rest of Europe alone (I tried to fact check this, but I can't easily find a reference; though I'm pretty sure that this was discussed in our history books - so take this with a grain of salt). I believe history shows how fatally wrong that assessment was. But maybe as a German I am just a tiny little bit sensitive regarding dictators assaulting their neighbors and claiming nationalistic BS.

Umm guys, education is about children's rights and it has to be mandatory so that your parents won't be able to override your rights even if they have something against their minority language or against the language majority.

1. The right to mother tongue: wherever in the world, the child must learn the mother tongue(s) of their parents to support the cognitive and psychological development.

2. The right to participate in the society as an equal: the child must learn the official language(s) of the society well enough to be able to understand and participate in the democracy, business, art etc.

On top of that, the bulk of the school curriculum can be in a yet another language, no problem, as long as these rights are ensured as well.
Best bet is Southeast Asia or China (but that maybe harder). SE Asians in general happen to view European issues as somewhat distant to them [1]. As such better welcomed, and where also more likely a future Russian expat community is sure to thrive.

We're on track for 2026 too
It's impopular because it isn't true. And yet you keep repeating it in thread after thread.
Emigration is not something that should be required of a random person, though. And it can even be impossible. Tech people have it easier than average, but for most people obtaining a visa and work permit for a foreign country is out of reach.

So while "place of birth" is not the exact criterion, the fact is that many Russian people are effectively being targeted by this kind of measures due to the single "sin" of having been born in Russia.
Yes, though the closure of dollar clearance services by US and UK banks also stopped the large important payments, at least via the West.

There will still be some facility to do it via China, but China's largest banks are also baulking (mostly because of the rapidly imploding value of the Ruble meaning they don't trust Russian banks to actually send the requisite funds than any great moral imperative I expect by the result is the same), and any Chinese services still willing to co-operate are going to extract a very, very hefty tithe from the Russians to enable it.
So, I shifted goal posts by saying the exact same thing repeatedly. While you really want to quote an irrelevant statistic even after acknowledging it’s irrelevant.

Wow, that’s just perfect. Do you mind if I share this thread?
Are there any good phones that haven't been "googled" in the first place?
Russia already annexed Crimea, a Ukranian territory, so this is not a convincing argument.
It does to finance as well, however the intent is to also target 2nd and 3th degree actors because it is extremely common to hide the true owner of the money in Finance (tax evasion, sanction evasions, ...)

Here SIGINTEL can contribute a lot but also just better data pooling between the countries and more modern methods of detection.

This international commitment to combat money laundering has so far been lacking but it seems this invasion is giving the momentum needed to put such systems and collaborations in place.

It will still take some time though before it's in place.

If that is the case, the west took the right decision. We don't need to fund a country that uses those funds to attack us.
