It worked instantly for me. As good as anything else.

You get other features with it for free. Popular chunks will be easier to obtain as many have them and preservation starts with rare pieces. You'd want common use to be fast and uncommon to complete eventually.

If a new torrent uses the same folder name the new files will appear next to the old ones but if so desired the old files may be duplicated into the new torrent.

Its not IPFS but it works.

If you can get a person or organization to sign off on the data I'd say its a feature rather than a bug?

Curious how it compares with Mycroft (https://mycroft.ai/); I've tried it last year wanting to get rid of Alexa in my home but the voice recognition was terrible (even with a specialized 4-mic array and running it on a PC instead of a Raspberry Pi).

I'm still looking for a privacy / offline voice assistant solution, so I'll dig a bit on this.
I am certain AMD like most responsible vendors (Seagate) also worked with Apple to correct the issue. Nvidia's issue was that it told all of the laptop vendors to just deal with it. It's why they are hated by other vendors and AMD/Intel worked hard to keep them from creating x86 cpus.
I would prefer delaying the Return to Office for multiple reasons and just one of them is that it has a great benefit on gas consumption and traffic reduction.

Remote Working is actually a rare win-win innovation: Workers win since they can work in an environment where-in they have more control; Companies win in that their cost of office space goes down dramatically; Cities win in that air pollution and traffic are reduced; Earth wins since fossil fuel and energy consumption is reduced; Countries win since instead of the population just being congested in a few key cities (because that is where all the jobs are), the population can be more spread across the country.

There are some losers though such as the coffee shops and other businesses dependent on office workers will lose revenue, but overall the benefits outweigh the cons as a whole.
I was pro anti-FaceID because I think as you. Finally I bought 13 mini because I want a decent iPhone and iOS 15.4 public beta has come.

I almost satisfied with it. It's not the best as the best fingerprint sensor, but it works most of the time. Even with mask, it just take like less than seconds. It's pain that sometimes not work well when sunlight shines my face.
Eating chunks of intact wall is unlikely, but surfaces like window sills are very risky because they constantly flake. That’s the nuance of lead mitigation. You can be completely compliant and safe for children with some lead paint on intact walls.

Any tenant can force their landlord to remove lead in those high risk areas (at landlords expense!) if there’s a young child but few renters know about this option.
I agree. This is an astute observation, and I think it applies to any online discussion system.
We may have crossed lines here - I was criticizing @late2part's[1] reply to your comment which said - in its entirety - "Your comment is toxic and offensive to me." I take no issue with your original comment (I mostly agree with it), but late2part's comment doesn't seem like it was given in good faith; hence my rant.

I currently have 4 KWp installed and aimed badly, but also a 10 KWh battery pack. My total expenditure to achieve that was <$5000 and it's supplying the majority of my needs.

Problem is that you're primed to look for fakes. The game is much harder when your in a normal environment.
With respect to games crashing, it's almost certainly not the architecture's fault. Far more likely is a system configuration or driver issue. I had more issues with my previous Intel build than my current Zen2 Ryzen (64 core TR). I have almost no issues with virtualization or gaming now. That said, my hardware is rarely pushed to its limits so that might be a factor.

As an aside, given how Intel squandered its near-monopoly for years until AMD came up from behind and kicked 'em in the pants, I'll be sticking with AMD out of principle. I'm especially upset at some of the really dirty tricks Intel pulled in the past.
The Mill architecture is vaporware. It’s been what? A decade? And there’s not even an FPGA demo yet?

Not to mention that the whole idea of the Mill requires a “sufficiently smart compiler”. We tried VLIW (based on the same compiler ideals) with the Itanium and it was a major flop.
This webpage is confusing. There's no scroll bar, and the "Get started" link is hidden until you scroll down about 75%, then in sticks to the top, unless you scroll back up.

So, scroll down a ways, then click "getting started" at the top right of the page, then there's a "quick start" guide.

It's self hosted, so you probably won't find an online demo. If you don't want to try it without an online demo, then this probably won't be that interesting for you anyways, since custom voice assistants necessarily require customization.
Tariffs here would lead to other countries putting tariffs on trade we do care about. Trade wars have been shown to cost countries, not help them. We'd be no exception.

Even as someone who profited well from Uniswap's initial token offering I still have to say that "swapping tokens" is an entirely useless functionality. Gambling, trading, scamming, and laundering are the only realized uses of crypto I have seen since I became involved with the ecosystem a decade ago. The fatal flaw of the decentralization argument is that humans are involved. People want to be able to negotiate chargebacks, even if it is a hassle. People are willing to surrender anonymity in exchange for forms of credit. All organizations require trusted parties. DAOs in a real world would still require forms of centralized trust to perform (AWS, Cloudflare, ...) and little stops one member from going rogue, stealing IP, and starting his own (legally recognized) business. This is before you even start opening an Econ 101 textbook to page 1.
Apple has a terrible history when it comes to cooling down their laptops. I don't think they'll be able to cool this chip without a massive design overhaul. They'd have to make something the size of those "gaming" laptops to get it cool enough and even then it would probably exceed the noise and thermal limit they've set for their brand.
The idea is, if the light is indirect or ambient, ambient occlusion will reduce indirect light. If the light is direct, then ambient occlusion will have no effect.

Which is exactly what you see in your picture of New York. If the corner is in direct light, then there is no difference from any other surface - or it is even more illuminated from radiance. If the corner is in indirect light, then yes, corners are less luminous.

It's not rare at all for corners to be darker in the real world. Compare a wide open, but shaded street, to a narrow alley. The alley will be much darker.

This is exactly the idea of modern AO with ray tracing. By raytracing AO, you can actually see how "open" each pixel is to the indirect light source. If the pixel is under direct light from some source, do not affect this component of illumination. If it is under indirect light from another source, be it the sky, or the walls, or some very large area light, reduce this indirect illumination.

So if the corner is directly lit by the sun, there is no darkening at all using RTAO and a PBR renderer.

It is indeed in the name. Occlude the ambient light component.

It's not a questions of "every shadow must be calculated". It's a question of approximating global illumination, or radiosity.

> Here is the article: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/35082139/ It’s important to observe that “omega 3 fatty acid supplementation with or without vitamin D reduced the autoimmune disease rate by 15% (not statistically significant)”.

There are two endpoints measured, and you chose to quote the statistically insignificant result, rather than the significant one. Though I agree, p-hacking is always an issue. OTOH, plenty of biological discoveries come from unintended observations. As long as they replicate, nothing's off limits -- you wouldn't disbelieve penicillin because it wasn't discovered in a pre-registered trial.

> If vitamin D reduced autoimmune diseases you would expect omega 3 + vitamin D to have similar results than just vitamin D

It did. D only hazard ratio: .68, D+omega3 hazard ratio .69
Thanks for trying out Optery! It sounds like you got the same “Wow” moment most new Optery users describe. Glad to hear!

1) We do see some people activate their subscription for a few months, and then cancel their plan to downgrade back down to the Free Basic tier. The Free Basic tier sends ongoing Exposure Reports (currently every 3 months), so if they start to see more profiles pop back up, they re-activate. There are significant benefits to keeping the subscription running on an ongoing basis though. For example, we are constantly adding new data brokers, so if you keep the service running, you get covered for new data brokers automatically as we add them to your plan. Sometimes we struggle with a data broker for many months, and then get a breakthrough and are able to get a waterfall of profiles removed at that data broker. We do ongoing monitoring and scans, to find and remove your profiles if they pop back up, so they are removed immediately.

2) The Ultimate plan is our most popular plan by far. It’s not even close. Second most popular is our Core plan. And Extended is our third most popular plan. PCMag recently did a deep dive into our space and named Optery their coveted “Editors’ Choice” as the most outstanding product on the market. Here was their summary quote “Optery’s handling of the core data removal task outshines the rest, and its free tier brings privacy protection to those who can’t afford expensive subscriptions. In the realm of personal data removal, Optery is our Editors’ Choice.”

https://www.pcmag.com/reviews/optery

Optery is the premium product in the space, so it’s natural that our customers would gravitate to the highest tier plan.

3) Thank you!
End game meaning intent. Is this meant to be a punitive action or is it meant to hasten the war to a close, and will sanctions lift if the war in Ukraine ends with the loss of Ukraine or a months long conflict?

This is very sad. I understand WHY Mozilla is here. But this is an act of absolute degradation: "Every once in a while, something comes along that we can totally get behind."

When Mozilla "gets behind" something, I tend to think of the ethics they state here:

https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/about/manifesto/

Of course, no one believes for a second that Mozilla gives a shit about Disney's latest disposable childhood friend. The words on the page are completely meaningless and insincere, and the copy was probably not even written by someone who's ever worked at Mozilla. They're in front of us because Disney sends armies of marketeers, each with wheelbarrows of money, to promote each of their movies. Everyone knows that. But it's still embarrassing to see.

I feel even worse about this than I would if they had a big Facebook ad up. Say what you will about the likes of Meta, but Disney is some sort of ancient Lovecraftian horror manifested in corporate form.
And according to Samsung, those three years of software updates should be running out this year. Meanwhile, Apple is doing double that on the S6: 6 years of updates.

Far from Perfect: America's Patriot Missile Battery Is Unreliable
I wish mine were "sell out simpleton"
I think there is plenty of pessimism in the OP. Essentially physicists today do not understand quantum theory better than the last generation of physicists did. I got my master in physics 20 years ago, and it was fairly obvious to me then that this would be the case.

Now compare that with AI/ML or large scale data processing over the last 20 years. I don’t think you should assume that the smartest people were those that didn’t see this coming and wanted to spend their life on interpretations of double slit experiments and string theory.
The model (M/M/1) is set up using the averages, not worst or best case. If you roll a die infinite times and get infinite 1s, then you have either got a loaded die (in which case its distribution is not the generally assumed uniform distribution from 1 to n, but just 1) or are extremely lucky, but the situation is still far from average.

> There's an assumption here about the distribution of arrival times that hasn't been stated.

Yes, it has, but not as explicitly as you may like. The author explicitly stated that they were considering an M/M/1 queue:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/M/M/1_queue

And in the "What about 90%?" section specifically calls out what distributions they're using (which are the same as the ones you'd expect from that page on M/M/1 queues).

For the system under discussion, the average arrival rate is the first parameter, and the average processing rate is the second parameter. If you decide to only consider the case where everyone shows up half as often as the average, then you've changed the distribution being considered. Similarly, if you decide to only consider the case where tasks are completed twice as fast, then you've, again, changed the distribution.

Queuing theory isn't generally about picking a specific circumstance and saying, "Look, you can get really lucky and clear the queue in 10 minutes instead of 10 years, even though on average we would never expect that." The primary motivation (in applying it) is to consider the average circumstances. On average, if your arrival rate in an M/M/1 queue is the same as or faster than your processing rate, your queue size will grow indefinitely. Sure, you could get lucky and have a really slow day for customers and a really on-their-game worker, it is statistically possible, but over an arbitrarily large period of time we'd expect the arrival time to be too high for the processing time, and the queue to grow.

It seems like I'm more hopeful for a quantum explanation of relativity than you are, but it's still sort of disquieting to think that there could be any number of fields that we just couldn't ever properly interact with. Even with gravity rolled in, there could still be a field that just doesn't interact at all. Hell, there could be hundreds. Creepy.
Least you could have done is a voltage divider with a couple high value resistors.

Not in California, but spent some time several years ago working on the tech for a sales arm.

My impression there was that people where pretty conscious of opt-outs and wanting to manage them carefully, if only because the consequences of not doing so could be costly. We spent a lot of time talking about opt-outs and trying to honor them across different tools they used.

Many prospects came from purchased lists. Some were contracts where some other firm was specifically handling a marketing campaign for us, but others were clearly just purchased from a data broker who, presumably, filtered their data for people who indicated an interest in us.

When we asked how to handle these, the decision was that if you showed up on one of these lists, you had opted in. After all, that is what the broker told us.

This presents the first problem: If you buy data from a broker who you have not specifically engaged to campaign on your behalf, its a little gray what that data actually represents. This may be resolved by probing into to broker's collection and segmentation more, but as far as I can tell there's not a lot of incentive for the decision makers to care.

Anyways, I was not particularly thrilled with this approach, especially after working with some lists we purchased several times a year that always had a significant number of duplicates time after time. So I wrote that particular import to check for duplicates and filter them out.

Well, this worked great until the prospects, having no recent activity, grew stale and were cleaned from the system. Then when they showed up in the list again wouldn't match and get a fresh new subscription.

Which presents the second problem: If you don't hold on to their identifiable information, you cannot determine if they have previously requested to be removed from your offerings. So it may be dumb to have to opt out again, bit the alternative is to trust them not to use your information in the mean time.
