I highly doubt that these measures will make it so that "the impact of the sanctions on people's day to day necessities is minimal."

For one thing, the stuff that they export will often not be a good match for needs, and it will be in the wrong place at the wrong time. Re-organizing their economy to adapt to the sanctions and achieve something like self sufficiency (with the help of Chinese trade) will be an enormous task.
Speaking of math pages on Wikipedia ... and math text more generally

Is it just me or are we horrible at teaching advanced math? Where are the examples (with actual numbers)? Where is the motivation? Where are the pictures?
Get used to it.

In the next 25 years, all the gas stations are going to close and all that gas tax revenue will need to be replaced, as that's how the roads are maintained. Gas tax is a usage tax, so to replace it with something equivalent, we'll need to be able to track our vehicle's road usage. Maybe cars will just self report, as new cars will just be a consumer electronics device with wheels and a broadband connection anyways.

But more than likely the solution will be backwards compatible one at first, like all the license plates becoming e-License plates, with eInk screens and a Fast-Trak style responder for tracking tolls.

Extrapolating on this, the idea that you could get into a vehicle and drive along public roads without those roads making a record of your passage is one that will slowly go away. Get used to it. Seriously.
One feature missing from the Windows solution, which flux has and it works tremendously, is an automatic trigger to disable the color/brightness change when a certain app is opened. Works beautifully when I'm up to do some Lightroom work.
It's definitely a prisoner's dilemma type of situation— no one wants it to be like that, but once there's a critical mass of people doing it, then you kind of have to. Once everyone does, you're back to square one, except with a system based on unwritten rules that are confusing and exclude the uninitiated.

And it's not obvious how to fix it in a way that doesn't screw up the system for someone else:

- exorbitant cancellation fees would punish people whose plans change, and a lot of people would just swallow the extra cost anyway.

- insisting that the entire timeframe be in scope at time of booking would make it hard or impossible to book longer vacations at popular spots (which at this point is basically anything within 4h of Toronto).

- making the whole season available at once would create an ultra high stakes feeding frenzy, with the servers probably ending up crashing.

- some kind of bidding or lottery setup would be extra complexity, and would end up rewarding people with the time, money, and schedule flexibility to "play" whatever the system is.

I suppose the Ontario Parks mandate is to just maximize utilization, so from their point of view it doesn't really matter as long as weekends are booked solid and at least some proportion of the canceled midweek days end up being scooped up later by retirees or whoever.
This is a weird stance to take about a search engine which is "tell me what to read as a service." Like you're literally using them to surface the wheat from the chaff. The algorithm that ranks results is already biased as hell and sometimes it's going to get it wrong. Google surfacing lots of stackoverflow spam sites isn't "unbiased" it's junk and manual correction is totally fine.
I don't know anything about cells going dormant as a result of fasting. That sounds questionable to me. There's been some research on fasting and cancer, but there haven't been a lot of studies, and results are inconclusive. Some of the ideas sound sensible. Cancer cells are incredibly greedy and slurp up glucose as they constantly divide. The thinking is that you can starve them and slow progression, in conjunction with chemotherapy and other treatments. It's not widely supported or practiced and more study is warranted. It's hard to find real information on it, because the idea that you can miraculously cure cancer and other diseases by changes in diet is embraced by millions of anti-science crackpots, so there's a ton of disinformation and speculation out there.
There is a highway near Washington DC (I-66) that has dual-rate HOV lanes like this. During peak rush hour times, the lanes are free to vehicles with 2+ people, but solo drivers can also opt to pay to use them.

They wanted to ensure that the HOV lanes move fast enough that the people who are carpooling will actually be rewarded for doing so. This meant that there had to be a dynamic toll for solo drivers.

Imagine the outrage when on a particularly busy day, this dynamic toll exceeded $20 for a ten-mile journey. The reality is plenty of people were cheating and using the HOV lanes as solo drivers, and now the tolling mechanism means they can no longer get away with it.
No, it can't. A filter bubble is specifically defined as users getting personalized results for the same query based on what an algorithm knows about them. It's right there in the first paragraph on wikipedia.

A hyper-partisan search engine that only showed results that favor one viewpoint would be bad, but it wouldn't be a filter bubble.

I think a lot of circularity occurs in mathematics because we don't typically qualify our utterances when it can be implicitly understood.

Eg "Numbers (formal) are those objects which behave like numbers (informal)."
I clicked on that link for "drudge", the search results vary every time I reload the page. I always get the iOS app, the retort parody, and the dictionary definition as the top 3. But the position of all 3 links vary every time I click reload.

Still don't see the link to the actual site either.

It's not "weird" but weight is lost in the kitchen, NOT the gym. Adding more exercise will actually increase your hunger and likely cause you to overeat. You need to exercise to be healthy, but it's actually counter to immediate weight-loss. Exercise regularly, but don't overdo it and cause hunger cravings.

In the long term, however, more muscular bodies burn more calories at rest. But cut first, then bulk.

Greatly increase your intake of protein and veggies. 0.8 Grams of protein per your body weight in kgs. By cranking up your protein intake by a lot, you'll decrease how much you eat in "junk" Obviously you need veggies too, so make your plate mostly protein, a lot of veggies and you'll have very little room left for the rest. Tons of chicken and protein shakes (watch the sugar in them) are practically necessary.

Tons of water. No other liquids besides water (or black coffee or tea). Getting calories from liquids is useless. NO alcohol, sodas, or fancy coffee.
I agree that there are problems with limiting this to a subset. But for the most part it’s a very good subset that mostly only removes features which would be rejected if proposed today, because they have runtime semantics. This would effectively deprecate those features in the real world. I’m in the minority who likes enums, but I can live without them. The real, big gap here is JSX. But that rightly should be a separate proposal. I just want them to consider it a prerequisite, to avoid fracturing that aspect of TS.

This is mostly a semantic argument, but I find this to be a very annoying perspective. Given a basis, there is a natural isomorphism between tensors of a certain type and multidimensional arrays of certain dimensions.

Q: Who determines what is "Russian disinformation?"

A: Teams of "specialists" funded by the US/UK governments (Bellingcat, Atlantic Council, etc).
I've only just begun using FreeCAD (and CAD in general, especially parametric CAD), but one of the problems I've seen when sketching on a plane has been the topological naming problem[0]. I don't know how it's changed since 0.19, but basically, making changes to your model after sketching on a plane can cause the sketch to anchor to another plane instead.

I was fist introduced to this problem in a video[1] made by Flowwie, who makes some fantastic introductory videos for FreeCAD. I'd strongly suggest watching it, because this isn't something the tutorial on the wiki[2] warns you about. Flowwie goes on to suggest an alternate method of working around this problem which works by using reference measurements (measurements within a sketch that aren't specified, but calculated for use in other sketches).

If you instead just think of everyone who drives as very lazy, unengaged, and completely checked out - this is how you get the behavior of traffic in the bay area. Everyone doing everything they can to not have to signal, to change lanes, to slow down or speed up, and to avoid interacting with other traffic.

The issue here is that people choose it in an non-optimal way and thus it makes many people having to do a lot more to get around others.

And, yeah, the right lane is what I end up having to go into to get past people all the time because they create those walls constantly. And they're not wanting to interact with merging traffic because they're lazy.

IMO there is a big difference between the landlord that owns a few buildings and _lives in the community_ vs a faceless corporation that's buying up whatever they can find wherever they can find it without regard to what it's going to the local economies.
>but can Russia feed itself

I saw some article on this topic, apparently 100% of "material" for inseminating cows is imported. Also like 80% of wheat seeds and majority of potato seeds (or whatever). Something similar with chicks

> We need to advance public transport for the masses and the use of renewable energy for it.

I don't think Sam Altman would disagree with this statement. He also recently led a $500 million investment in Helion (https://www.helionenergy.com/articles/helion-raises-500m/), with the goal of achieving net-zero fusion energy by 2024.

Also, a lot of major technological advances enjoyed by the masses today started off as niche defense projects (the Internet, GPS, modern flight, etc). If we're able to prove out the technology for the niche defense use-case, it's not out of the realm of possibility that it will eventually be worth investing in developments of the same technology in ways that may benefit the masses.

That said, it is true that Sam Altman does not hold a strict pacifist view on technological improvements in defense (i.e. funding of killing machines). That's a thornier debate.
They can probably feed themselves. Growing calories is something we're good at, especially Russia.

The hard part is dealing with a scenario where there is plenty of wheat, but people have no money to buy it.

Ireland, in the 1840s suffered a horrific famine. Grain was being exported the while time. Food existed. People couldn't afford it.

During the US' great depression,
people were hungry while agricultural products piled up, rotted in or burned to defend a price floor.

I don't think Russia will starve, but economics is hard. There are a lot of ways this can get really bad.
> Now that a CVT gets better mileage than a stick shift, it’s impossible to make the case for a stick

A manual transmission is _far_ easier to rebuild than a CVT or other automatic. They also tend to be more durable, though I expect that is an advantage that has diminished or even reversed.

> Plus, EVs don’t even have transmissions, at least not ones that need shifting.

Most don’t, but some do. It depends on the voltage range; more precisely, it depends on the RPM range, which is directly correlated to input voltage.

In addition, almost all of the “classic” EV conversions I’ve seen maintain either the original transmission or an upgraded replacement with similar functionality. See: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mOx5uCufB2Q
"The league’s low salaries and minimal efforts towards player support have for years forced even its biggest stars to treat their time in the WNBA as a part-time job. The maximum WNBA salary in 2022 was just over $228,000, and players can make far more than that playing in leagues overseas."
This could have been worded far better, I broke out laughing. I hope the the average is far, far lower than that if I'm supposed to have sympathy or something here.
There are huge opportunities here for hashing and watermarking that guarantees videos are unaltered from the original recording taken by a physical device. An iphone already has all the hardware it needs to ensure it cannot be fooled by a flat image and to calculate and insert a cryptographic hash while recording.

We will lose the battle against deepfakes, but we can create a subcategory of video proven as non-fake and win the war.
> It is a good bet that a significant amount of code in the kernel is entirely unused.

Er, is it? Anyone want to suggest what code is entirely unused?
ask yourself why this particular variety of disinformation written to "go viral" on social media and in search results is different from any other. ask yourself whether your own state's government ever engages in similar activity, or whether this is something that only this specific state government in question does. ask yourself why other people making decisions about what kinds of propaganda you do and don't see is good for you and ultimately society as a whole. ask yourself why information flow on the Internet is becoming increasingly restricted and censored, and how we got to the point where Internet users seem to actively demand such restrictions and censorship, when it most certainly wasn't this way in the past.

Keto diets are notorious for this -- some people are, apparently, genetically unsuited to extremely low carb diets and their body responds by ballooning cholesterol levels and possibly some other issues (has been a while since I read about it). So they recommend that people getting on that particular diet do both self-monitoring and blood tests.

You could be experiencing some form of that. A lot of these ideas are very poorly studied and may be missing negative effects that occur in a minority.
This seems like a reasonable argument, but in this case we're talking about 101, which is not an interstate highway.
The article specifically addresses the differences between what the Netherlands does and what San Francisco does, and why San Francisco's outcomes are much worse.
When I read the wiki page, I don't personally think much swivels on whether a human or algorithm creates the filter since the reason it's an issue is the end result.

Or rather, "it's okay since it's not an algorithm doing it" doesn't wave away the concerns very effectively.
I want one which doesn't decide this for me, no-matter how "good for me" it may be, and relies exclusively on my search query to decide what is most relevant.

If you really want to flag disinformation, I'd be fine with some sort percentage reliability value or something along those lines, right next to the result. Preferably something that I can also order results by. Totally happy with a 'caveat emptor' clause regarding who comes up with those reliability values.

But down-ranking sites by default is not how this is supposed to work. "It's for a 'good cause'" is not the point. It's always going to be for a "good cause (TM)".

Besides, what's so bad about access to "disinformation"? I prefer being presented with bad arguments whose value I get to judge for myself, than being told I'm not getting all the arguments, only those whose value someone else decided on my behalf.
I really don't understand this view point. Isn't a search engine's entire job to effectively 'censor' the parts of the internet that aren't relevant or helpful to your search query?

Is it censorship for them to downrank flat-earth content when you are trying to learn about how to chart a flight? Flat-earthers certainly have a lot of ideas about how charting a course on a flat earth works but that doesn't mean it's helpful to a reasonable person.

At least in their case they truly believe it, with disinformation the entire goal is to exploit DDGs users to pretty much everyone's detriment. Of course if I search for "RT ukrainian conflict" RT should show up, but do you really want your search engine to default to providing results from someone with a very clear agenda and a history of abusing their influence to carry out that agenda?

Of course its possible that the net is too wide, but I find it weird that there is a slippery slope censorship argument going on when search engines have been trying to serve authentic results and beat out inauthentic ones for 20+ years.
Depends on how pretty you are and how much you cry.
well, most cryptos are scams. that's extremely obvious.

the 0.1% that are not are going to be the foundation for the next generation of web and finance -- this is also obvious.

but it's silly to pretend like most cryptos aren't just cash grabs. but just like 99.9% of websites on the internet are scams/ads/useless, doesn't take away from the importance of the legitimately useful websites.
Why the fsck would they block Ukrainians? Makes no sense.
Here's how I rationalize it:

* "Crypto" means "cryptography"

* "Cryptocurrency" is a subset of "cryptography"

* Using "crypto" to mean "cryptocurrency" is valid as a synecdoche

So basically I use it both ways. That also makes more sense to me because "currency" feels like an overly narrow description of the current crypto ecosystem.

With the amount of land and oil they have, food would never be an issue. Even an isolated Russia can conjure up basic lorries and tractors. The real question is would ordinary Russians be content in life without most modern amenities? Sure they can barter their natural resources in exchange for goodies from China but at what price?
The media needs to be more truthful with these headlines. This one makes it look like inflation rose 7.9% in February, when in fact it rose 7.9% in the last twelve months. Still bad, but very different from a 7.9% jump in one month.

And yes, they do clarify that point in the article, which suggests that the headline is purposely misleading to get more clicks.
AFAIU, Matrices are categorically subsets of Tensors where the product operator, at least, is not the tensor product but the Dot product.

Dot product: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dot_product

Matrix multiplication > Dot product, bilinear form and inner product:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Matrix_multiplication#Dot_prod...

> The dot product of two column vectors is the matrix product

Tensor > Geometric objects https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tensor :

> The transformation law for a tensor behaves as a functor on the category of admissible coordinate systems, under general linear transformations (or, other transformations within some class, such as local diffeomorphisms.) This makes a tensor a special case of a geometrical object, in the technical sense that it is a function of the coordinate system transforming functorially under coordinate changes.[24] Examples of objects obeying more general kinds of transformation laws are jets and, more generally still, natural bundles.[25][26]

Lilypond is freaking awesome. As a hobbyist with a music degree but unrelated career, I switched a while back, and it's saved me multiple times over just because of backwards compatibility and free software. My old version of Sibelius doesn't run on newer hardware, so some old scores I never ported are lost if I don't spend money just to export. But my old lilypond scores will always be fine.
Not quite sure I'm following. The "romantic point of view of the informed masses but it’s a fallacy" may apply to push techs like social media feeds more than search engines.

There aren't that many universal truths when it comes to political situations. Asking a search engine what time of day it is in Tokyo, the GDP or Ghana or whatever is entirely more objective.

I would say the onus is on people to understand sources of information and how to interpret them. If we're in a position where you're saying X% of the population will swallow what they search for, that makes search engines extremely dangerous, making the search engine an arbiter of truth is questionable. Does anyone at DDG have in depth knowledge of the political situation in Eastern Europe or what is truth and not? I would guess not, so they've no way of measuring it. It doesn't help that DDG's entire results are Bing's, who knows whether Bing is already pre-filtering them? I would guess DDG do not know that.
Exactly. Every search algorithm requires making judgements about how and what to rank. Explicitly marking sites as "disinformation"/"spam"/"seo" is exactly a part of building a good global web search.
This is definitely a problem! Having a large set of interests and problems to draw examples and intuition from are how I deal with it.
I suspect this is why so many mathematicians are also into physics.
