I can't believe anyone still brings up Trump and a "refusal" to denounce white supremacy. It seems to me that there were so many opportunities to criticise Trump - as there is for any president, to be fair - that I have to wonder why the media persists in undermining their own reputation with this kind of nonsense instead, but it must be because it works.

> Russia does not want a NATO country on it's borders. That is why it invaded a country with four NATO borders

Not commenting on the other points but I think the general idea was to create a border state between Russia proper and said NATO countries, maybe out of the whole Ukraine with a Russian puppet as president, or out of several Ukrainian statelets. If it matters I do live in one of those NATO countries bordering Ukraine.
Deputy Minister of Belarus resigns because of the war in Ukraine
If English was written like Chinese
I look at it like this:

The US has spent ~15 years holding it's finger 5mm in front of Russia's eye saying "I'm not touching you...I'm not touching you....I'm not touching you." When that hasn't been working, we then whispered "Oh by the way, I'm the reason your ex-wife Ukraine left you. I'm definitely touching her." When Russia finally snaps, slaps our hand out of its face, and uppercuts Ukraine**, we sit there with a smug look on our facing going "Dude, why are you such an asshole?"
This is about as far from a proof as we are from the Andromeda Galaxy.
I did a bit of research of this whole matter awhile back:-

1.) One of the parents (male) had HIV. They wanted a kid (without HIV) so they consented to this 'thing'. The impregnation was done by IVF. All babies were in health after being born.

2.) At present, you can remove HIV from sperm cells by washing them. This altered sperm is then impregnated by IVF, and the offspring does not have any HIV virus in them. Lots of couples, who are suffering from HIV, have offspring via this method and is completely safe procedure. So, there was no need for the parents to do this whole 'thing' in the first place.

3.) This doctor is the first one to this in the entire world. These babies are the first in the world to be born via this method. The doctor basically became 'God'.

4.) He disclosed what he has done on a seminar in China. It was a surprise for the audience and all other guests. There is a 1-2 hour video on YouTube available of the full seminar. After his presentation was done, he got somewhat blasted by the audience to do such radical thing. There was a good chance that the procedure would have messed up and the babies born would be different from normal (I like to think a different breed/race than homo-sapiens). The whole thing is too radical, so no scientist or doctor touched this whole matter because there is too much of a risk for the babies. And the current methods to do correct gene editing are not perfect.

5.) Afaik (I am not doctor), the procedure was the doctor takes scissors and cuts the gene/dna of the babies in the womb(embryo). But the procedure is not perfect in its present state. There is above 95% (IIRC) of him cutting the wrong parts of DNA. But luckily, he was able to cut the right parts of the sequence and the babies were born normally.

6.) He was also a professor/student in an american university. He got help from his previous professors or colleague from the university to perfect his method. They are cited in his work. They knew what he was doing and actively helped in him.

7.) IMO, the babies will grow up and may reproduce. No one knows what will become of the next generation born from the current babies, bcuz this is the first time it has happened. Will they be humans (Homo sapiens) like us? It should never have been done right now. The whole thing is experimental in its current stage. It will take more than 50 years to perfect the methods and have a proper gene edited babies. It will practically solve all hereditary medical problems we humans face. Later on some actors will weaponize the technology and create super-soldirers (like captain america), super scientist and whatnot.

8.) As I said above, I am not a doctor/scientist. So, some things written above may be incorrect. I had done the bit of research 2-3 years back and have forgotten the technical details. Still, it is an quite an interesting thing to look into.
I would love to do that for an iOS keyboard, without a backend. I've built my own spell corrector going though the rabbit hole of tries and many other structures.
iOS keyboards are constrained to 40Mb of RAM, I presume it's still too big to use a language model without a backend. Would be really cool to finally achieve a smarter prediction in-device, though.
Most of these disadvantages are actually not a big deal. If your app is so simple that this is a reasonable choice, it's probably trivially easy to do with a framework.

The idea that frameworks restrict you seems like an XY problem. They block you from doing one thing, but that's because there's already a specific idiom for that. When you're really "thinking with frameworks" you don't even think of doing X. The framework becomes your language and you design everything in terms of it.

I would also argue programmers are not lazy, but they should be if they want to get stuff done. Programmers like to tinker with random stuff and take things apart to see how they work. They'll gladly do 2x the work for half the performance if it means a solution they understand.

If it's true then that should give it more credibility, as most probably Bellingcat is a CIA-cover organisation itself, so I suppose they do know their direct field adversaries.

You are asking that the screen be moved back to the slits - less than a slit-slit distance away.

The wave aspect of the EM field remains downstream of the slits. The photon aspect is only exhibited at the screen.

There may be no such images, because it’s not interesting to observe two bright spots. There has to be enough path length difference to allow the phase difference causing the interference. Think about the classical case.

The mystery is not the interference, it’s that the photon density at the screen tracks the predicted interference pattern, even if they arrive at one per second.

Bohm’s pilot wave theory has an explanation for this.

I think SWEs are some of the worst when it comes to projecting one's domain knowledge into other areas.
This often cited fact is a red herring. Lots of things can compute (or rather approximate) any functions. Piece-wise constant functions obviously can approximate anything, but nobody's giddy about using piece-wise constant functions for any numerical purpose (if they do, and they often do, they don't point with pride of their new application of the piece-wise constant functions "universal approximation theorem"). Polynomials, trigonometric polynomials, splines (i.e piecewise polynomials), radial basis functions, and on and on.

Just put neural networks to a test against splines, and see how they fare. Take your favorite function, let's say sin(x) and try to approximate it with a neural net with 1000 nodes, or with splines with 20 nodes. You don't stand a chance to match the quality of the spline approximation.

Edit: here's a short python snippet to show how much better a spline with 20 nodes is vs a neural network with 1000 nodes for approximating the sin function

import numpy as np
from sklearn.neural_network import MLPRegressor
from scipy.interpolate import UnivariateSpline

N = 10000
X_train = 2*np.pi*np.random.uniform(size=N)
Y_train = np.sin(X_train)
sin_NN = MLPRegressor(hidden_layer_sizes= (1000,)).fit(X_train.reshape(N,1), Y_train)

spline_nodes = np.linspace(0,2*np.pi, 20, endpoint=True)
sin_spl = UnivariateSpline(spline_nodes, np.sin(spline_nodes), s=0)

X_test = np.linspace(0,2*np.pi, 5000, endpoint=True)
Y_test = np.sin(X_test)
rmse_NN = np.mean((Y_test-sin_NN.predict(X_test.reshape(-1,1)))**2)
rmse_spl = np.mean((Y_test-sin_spl(X_test))**2)

print("RMSE for NN approx: ", rmse_NN)
print("RMSE for spline approx: ", rmse_spl)

>> RMSE for NN approx: 0.00011776185865537907
>> RMSE for spline approx: 9.540536500968638e-10

Why should Ukraine be punished for American sins?

Your logic is basically "Alice murdered Bob and you said nothing, therefore you can't say anything when Dave murders Eve". If I knew Eve and didn't knew Bob it's pretty obvious I will care more. There's nothing wrong with this.

What is wrong is silencing people who speak out against aggressive wars. It's a common tactic called whataboutism. And it's exactly what you are doing.
And you'd have to know the state of U to infinite precision. Which makes me wonder whether neural nets have any hope with a simple chaotic function. Maybe they do but just in the short term, like predicting the weather.
There's a difference between strong and weak quantum measurements. Experimentally we can now even apply feedback on quantum states to stabilize them, which requires making partial, non-destructive measurements of a quantum state and then applying signals to correct deviations.

The whole talk about "wave function collapse" originated from the beginnings of quantum mechanics where the measurement process was poorly understood, in my opinion it should be replaced by the modern understanding, in which a measurement is a combination of an entanglement process between the system under test and a large external system, followed by decoherence caused by the many degrees of freedom of the external system. That produces wave form collapse, but it's not an abrupt or absolute process but rather a continuous, controllable one.
The age old question is "How quickly do you update?"

Too slow - Exposed to known vulnerabilities.

Too fast - Susceptible to active supply chain attacks.

There's tradeoffs, and there's no solution here. It's a hard problem.

That is how they work..."in theory". Reality can be swiftly influenced by a single actor, acting at their own whims, then end up changing the pace of the confrontation.

Blitz or not, the destruction of wealth occuring in Ukraine will make it easily enter the club of thrird-world countries whose existence is sustained by international donations. The harsh sanctions on the invaders will make more cumbersome the task of trying to extract value from the conquered land. This will not impact negatively on UKR rebirth. RU may win the battle, but the longer the resistance lasts, they'll have on their hands a worthless asset, internal powerfights and regional humanitarian crises.

I'm Jewish and I can tell you that the president wouldn't never win the election there with 70% of support if the nazi problem there was the biggest problem in the Ukraine.

You are using 2FA. If just one of your two factors is compromised, that doesn't mean you "aren't" using 2FA - just that there exists an attacker who is one step closer to breaking into your account.

Any attack on 2FA requires the same attacker to compromise your password and your physical device. If one adversary phishes your password and someone else finds the YubiKey you dropped on the train, you're almost certainly still OK. You need to ask whether there's a reasonable threat model where the same guy gets your password and also gets you to use his own fake key.

These companies banning Russia is AMAZING opportunity for the Russian government. If Russia is run by smart people, they must be delighted by it.

All they have to do is wait for these companies to block them... and then use the opportunity to block it from their side never letting them come back to the market... and let the alternatives grow in the local market.

That way, they get to keep the population from being dependent on foreign infrastructure and they don't even have to take responsibility for blocking them themselves.
Yes because Dolphin is not distributing the rom/code for the Wii Shop channel. Users who decide to emulate it need that + various other things to make it work:

"Wii Shop Channel has functionalities that requires proper network certificates extracted from an IOS to work."

"Keys from a real Wii are required."

"a proper NAND is required."

Google comes, google buys, google buries. Selling software or a service to tops is okay, but there's a danger it quickly turns into working for VIPs, serving their demands, or end up being a private government contractor bound by tons of NDAs, NEAs (no export), etc. etc. stc. I've seen people fall pretty hard or giving their all trying to balance things out. I wish I said to some people: If you sign something, make sure we hear from you again.
I agree, discord.py has been pleasant to use. However up until this gist, discord.py was lacking newer API features, most notably slash commands, and was otherwise abandoned.

I'm not clear on the details but if you aren't currently using slash commands you may be forced to in the near future so if you have any operating bots responding to custom prompts you should look into whether you need to do some work or not.

Now on what library to use... there have been various discord.py derivative projects to provide slash commands and now discord.py apparently supports them too. Personally I'm avoiding discord.py, I can't trust they'll continue development and I'm not trying to track community drama via discord. I also really dislike node. My solution for now is discord.js as a thin layer between discord and python.

It's not a nurse or even lead doctor making a decision. It's the CXO or VP or Director depending on how big the company is.

They're also price conscious. Everyone has a budget and the more of that budget you take up the worse it is for them. Enterprises are good because they have big problems that cost lots and lots of money. They're willing to give you a significant fraction of that money if you solve the problem.
One theory I have is that, in America you are battling to be a monopoly (I think this is actually the subject of a Peter Theil book?) in a winner take all battle, and once you win you can abuse the market with little risk of any government intervention, which radically changes the parameters.

Would be interested to see some serious economic data on that hypothesis.
Tried that, it works well for simple equations but python's string escape character is the same as LaTeX's control character for math objects (\frac{}{}, etc). Doing anything beyond the simplest of equations becomes ridiculously tedious.
> Couldn't other countries step up production or tap into their grain reserves?

Stepping up production isn't easy, since most arable land is being used for food production already. You'd have to increase farming efficiency. (Which is possible, but not easy; nobody wants to do inefficient farming, so if, as a farmer, you haven't raised efficiency, it's likely that you don't know how, or simply cannot, due to other constraints, such as availability of machines and fertilizer).

That's what the article says
you are literally listing out my reasons. thank you for that, my point stands
A number of assumptions seem to be missing from this article. Since the author is using the sigmoid function which is smooth, this argument actually only applies to approximating smooth functions. That is, you dont just need f to be continuous, you need all of its derivatives to exist and all be continuous. Also, since we are only able to have finitely many neurons, we need to be able to approximate f using step functions with definitely many pieces. So this argument can only be used if f is constant outside of a compact region.
From my experience CDNs degrade performance. For most websites, they are the resources that are loaded the slowest, and are usually loaded synchronously, thus blocking page interaction.

I should note that I live in Israel, and geograpical distribution by CDNs may be at fault here.

Regardless, as others have noted, I have already connected with the website, third party connections have a high chance if impacting perfotmance for the worse.
Well i dont think prices are functions of economic variables.

Recall a function is `y = f(x)`, not `y1, y2, y3... = f(x)`.

So what you're modelling is something like `E_hope[y] = f(x)` where `E_hope` is "a hopeful expectation" that the mean of the underlying ambiguous y1,..yn does "reliably" mean to a unique `x`.

This "hopeful expectation" is certainly more common than there being any actual function connecting `y` to `x`, but i think its often quite false too. Ie., even the expectation of prices is genuinely ambiguous.

To handle this we might ensemble models `E_ensemble[E1_hope[y], ...En_hope[y]]`, but to repeat a famous idiom in finance, this is very much "building sandcastles in the sky".

The idea that you can just "expect" (/statstics) your way out of the need for experimentation is a dangerous superstition which is at the heart of ML. It is impossible to simply "model data", measurement produces genuine ambiguities which can only be resolved by changing the world and seeing-what-happens. There is no function to find.

Do these keys work well under FreeBSD?
This argument only applies to functions on a compact domain. So we should only consider trying to approximate sin(x) when x is in [0, 1], for example.
Awesome content with actionable tips but I have to say they are less applicable at “enterprise prices.” Once you exceed the corporate card buying pattern, risk and budget enter the picture. Sometimes the department needs to wait for the next budget cycle. Sometimes you have the better solution but another vendor has SOC2 compliance and without it, the enterprise won’t take the risk.
