What really bugs me right now is that the lanes are not hard-divided or at least 4-stripe divided from the regular lanes like they are in Southern CA.

So what people are doing is switching lanes without fear of penalty in the stretches between the monitoring gantries, and either causing inconvenience or outright danger to others driving responsibly.

Hopefully this will be fixed.
Crypto has not helped any of these people.
What makes ugrep better for your use cases?
Even if the sanctions stop, I don't know if all the companies that left will come back the next week, month or year. There is restitution that needs to happen.
Filter bubbles are personalized. This is not personalized.
If you want a filesystem that can support snapshots, my preference would be ZFS. I'm not sure if ZFS can also do versioning outside of snapshots.

The recent macOS file systems can do versioning, and Time Machine is how you would access earlier versions. But they can't do snapshots, so far as I know.

But snapshots are less critical for building a backup system -- you can live without those, although it can be painful. Versioning would be a bigger win for desktop users.
If this get to market, it would make a lot of us, vegan by default.
The selling point of DDG is "pro privacy" i.e. non-interference with its users, now that this is shown to be BS, there is no reason to use it. Might as well use Google/Bing for bigger features... But probably something better out there.
Are there any easy ways to clean up a PCB that's developed whiskers? And once a whisker erupts on a given PCB, does that generally indicate that others are likely to form on that board in short order?
Yeah, I misread grandparent and thought they were talking about forgoing profit from telemetry, e.g. Google Chrome

For the last couple years, I think the Drudge Report itself has actually been a parody of the Drudge Report.
Doesn't seem incompatible. I assume most people searching for general news about Ukraine are not seeking for Russian state media's take on it.
Exactly. If I'm searching for Russian propaganda, I should see Russian propaganda in my search results. If I'm searching for good bicycle reviews, I should see good bicycle reviews.
The United States has public housing projects, and Medicare/Medicaid coverage of nursing homes.

We also have government provided halfway houses.

We also have government provided housing for orphans.

We also have welfare, which people can use to pay for housing.

We also have section 8, which allows low income people to live in normal apartments but the government pays part of their rent.

Would that be partially socialized housing?
There seem to be some negative comments about this, but in my opinion this is exactly how this should work.

Even better would to have one of these signs up before the enforced toll area begins, to remind drivers what they have their transponder set to, in case they "forgot" to set it properly.

Still better would be for the transponder to beep once for the 1-person setting, twice for the 2-person setting, etc., although this could get a bit annoying.
So, how does this make any sense for ddg?

I don't get it, I really don't

Not when I can work on side projects all day. This is my true passion.
I think it’s relatively straightforward to serialize such a model into different representations, I completely understand that they keep the actual data inside pytorch state by default.

Out of curiosity, what tools are researchers generally using to explore neural networks? I’m just an armchair ML enthusiast myself, but NN always appear very much like black boxes.

What are the goals and methods for exploring neural network state nowadays?
Am I alone in having thought that the term ‘deepfake’ only applied to NN/deep learning-generated imagery, rather than just plain CG, as implied in this article?
LOVE IT, thank you
The people writing the search algorithms decide, just like they decide what a "good" algorithm is.
Neither Russia nor the West is stopping trade in everything. This action means Russia is taking the initiative so they can choose what trade is banned. Of course that’d be trade in something the West needs.
See my sibling comment to yours for clarification on my mistake, but to respond I don't think Vlad intends on selling the browser since he needs it to promote his search engine, Kagi Search. Doesn't completely mitigate the risk but I think enough since its now tablestakes in the search engine space to offer your own browser, Brave is the same way.
I still think PostgreSQL wins on the clean codebase competition. It's a thing of beauty.

Don't get me wrong. Full props to Blender and its contributors. The UI/UX, speed, and stability have improved by leaps and bounds in the last few years. I miss the game engine though.
There is a powdered food product called Keto Chow that you mix with heavy cream to scale up calories. Pretty easy to track calories with that.
Predicting the future is hard.

I imagine there'd be much pressure for Putin to resign, or age-out, and a calmer leader to ascend, before significant forward progress is made in healing relations.
It teaches people how to find bullshit jobs or just talks about them? I heard of it and only know that it's an attack on automation/keynesian economics.

It's very obvious they do this, they'll wait until you're a little more invested before revealing it's forced.
Is it not possible to hypothesize how cryptocurrencies afford them options that other financial tools do not?
Thanks, Will definitely give it a shot.
Yes, I say let their lies be defeated in the marketplace of free ideas. Basically everyone knows what's going on with Russia at this point. I don't think suddenly censoring their lies now is really gonna change anything.
> Because cryptocurrency is consistently crime-adjacent and fraud-adjacent.

So are banks.

> You must not use Stripe’s services for the following activities:

> * ‘Get rich quick’ schemes

> * No value added services

> * Predatory investment opportunities
> Besides, what's so bad about access to "disinformation"?

This is an excellent point that doesn’t get as much discussion as it deserves. Censorship of misinformation seems to be rooted in the idea that the masses cannot/should not have the freedom to think and discuss information freely.

Also, there is a great deal of valuable insight which can be gained by analyzing a country’s propaganda.
What should be shown if you search for „why did russia invade ukraine“?
Your assumption is incorrect. I love to work. Just not corporate work.
I think we're both right, because the author recommended what you're saying: eat a big salad first, then try to have your protein source be a stewed meat of some kind so that the nutrients in the meat wouldn't be lost by the cooking process. They would be captured by the water in the stew, and more bio-available because they've been cooked.
Why isn’t this new Stripe thing then about being able to use Bitcoin when buying things?

Or how do I use Coinbase for buying things? Try go to the coinbase website and look for how to buy things with your Bitcoin. What I read from the site is that it’s all about investing in the value going up, not about making payments to other people or businesses for services or purchases.
Well, one practical response to this is that the toll lanes do not really cause other lanes to be slower (than what it was before), even though it feels like some group is being allowed to bypass everyone else.

In the sense that -- suppose that you have a 4 lane highway. Adding a 5th lane will actually not help much to increase the capacity of the highway if it is traffic-bottlenecked. For certain traffic volumes and lane configurations, adding lanes doesn't increase throughput.

So having a toll lane basically just helps to generate revenue from people who are willing to pay (and allow those who are willing to pay to drive slightly faster past traffic), while not significantly slowing down most other people (who already experienced congestion in certain stretches of highway before this).

Now, whether this feels fair and is a good idea is a different question (and clearly generates a lot of opinions).

> Would Godot engine help me publish games in all the platforms? Or would Unity / Unreal are more suitable for that?

Unity platform support: https://unity.com/solutions/multiplatform

About PlayStation in particular (you will need a license): https://support.unity.com/hc/en-us/articles/212064606-How-do...

About Xbox in particular (you will need a license): https://support.unity.com/hc/en-us/articles/115005327866-How...

Other consoles are actually a lot like that too, though you should have no problems on mobile/desktop/web platforms with Unity.

Godot platform support: https://docs.godotengine.org/en/stable/tutorials/export/inde...

Should be similarly easy for mobile/desktop/web platforms.

For consoles you'll probably want to get in touch with the companies that could help you with exporting to consoles: https://docs.godotengine.org/en/stable/tutorials/platform/co...

Unreal platform support: https://docs.unrealengine.com/4.27/en-US/SharingAndReleasing...

Similar story to the above (that one link should be enough).

In summary, i'd suggest that you don't bother with consoles, because those take a lot of time and effort to export anything to. Other platforms should be easier to work with in all of the engines, desktop/web probably being the best bet.
Kernel is C code though, which doesn’t require as much cpu to compile as say c++. It could be more IO bound. There should be a lot of more legit data available on this than my armchair speculations.
Oh you mean the government that won the elections promising to bring Ukraine into Europe, then made a full 180 into Russia's waiting arms - thus proving itself Putin's puppet and betrayer of its people? The same government Putin wants so badly to reinstate that he is willing to bomb women and children for it?!

No, Ukrainians knew why they took it down. Eastern European people are not so easily fooled, we see quite easily through Russian deception and propaganda.
I would bet you $50 that DDG was handled/requested a blocklist of domains from a spooky US/UK govt associate and did not unilaterally create it themselves.
"unbiased" doesn't mean "unfiltered". For example, I don't want spam or malware in my search results.

Search results should return good information that is relevant to your query, and filter out anything that is not that.
> how would they pay for the war if they don't sell gas to us in Europe?

Degraded capacity and suffering of the Russian people, mostly. The consumables they can build they will, everything else will get used up in the hope that the war is won before the capacity to fight it is fully degraded, and that once there is a fair accompli in Ukraine, a sufficient subset of the world will see no point in further sanctions and they’ll be able to use the expanded economic power from their victory to build back.

(I don't think it's a good plan, but it's all they have left.)
It looks like a pure retaliation - to make western leasing companies to suffer losses. What to do with the planes I think no-one thinks at this stage. They may use them for scrap metal if will not find a better use.
Well, the wheat will be affordable because Russia won't be able to export it.
Lithium iron phosphate batteries are a type of lithium ion battery that does not require nickel or cobalt. They're already used in many electric vehicles including standard-range Tesla vehicles. They're also a preferred choice for grid scale storage because the modestly lower energy density of LFP chemistry doesn't matter for a battery that sits in one place for years.
> It is, and no serious source calls this a genocide...

Again, incorrect. The Ukrainian government has called this genocide. Are they not a serious source? The UN has also had at least one hearing so far to determine if there is genocide happening in Ukraine right now, which, I'll note, the Russians did not show up for. [0]

I'm going to go ahead and stop replying to you at this point. You've made a number of assumptions about my level of engagement and education on the topic that are incorrect, and I don't feel like we are going to get anywhere.

At any rate, insisting that the systematic carpet bombing of cities and murder of fleeing civilians _isn't_ genocide, seems like a questionable hill to die on.

Ada has a set of High Integrity Restrictions that define pragmas that turn off exceptions:

"No_Exceptions - Raise_statements and exception_handlers are not allowed. No language-defined run-time checks are generated; however, a run-time check performed automatically by the hardware is permitted."

Source: http://www.ada-auth.org/standards/12rm/html/RM-H-4.html

If the underlying operating system or board support system have similar support then panic situations would be avoided entirely.

While this is a highly-specialized case, it is defined and supported by high integrity Ada implementations / runtimes.

Seems like there would be an opening here for DDG to create a separate section (if they're insistent on this disinformation down-rank path) to publish a clear and falsifiable algo their systems use to determine disinformation and also an option to view those results that are down-ranked as a result of the algo.
First transformer models still dealt only with the training set.

Eventually it was extended to work with an external data source that it queries. This is not a new thing, for example, image style transfer and some other image tasks that were attempted before the domination of NNs did the same thing (linear models would query the db for help and guided feature extraction).

The greatest effect in transformers is the attention mechanism combined with self-supervised learning. Investigations in self-supervised learning tasks (article illustrates one word gap, but there are others) can result in superior models that are sometimes even easier to train.

As for SAT, optimization, graph neural networks might end up being more effective (due to high structure of the inputs). I'm definitely awaiting for traveling salesman solver or similar, guided by NN, solving things faster and reaching optimality more frequently that optimized heuristic algos.
I only just started reading but the subheading is:

> The city is carrying out a bizarre medical experiment in which they are helping homeless drug addicts use drugs. ‘It’s handing a loaded gun to a suicidal person.’

Which doesn't seem to differentiate, if they do in the article, then that's a really bad subtitle.
Is this the cause of the Paleocene-Eocene Thermal Maximum? Even though it is too old to be tied to the Younger Dryas impact hypothesis it is still around the age attributed to a transition in geological epochs. The end of the Paleocene was marked by a mass extinction of 30-50% of species. During the following Eocene epoch, with presumably many empty niches, there were many new species that evolved.

The more we look, the more evidence we are finding that periodic mass extinctions are caused by cosmic impacts.
The capability of self-custody is the thing to pay attention to.

Nothing else has this capability to the same extent.

Today we store most of our wealth in assets (market index funds, stocks, real estate, etc.) and some (typically very little, and rarely outside of a bank account) in cash.

Most of this is not actually controlled by you.

With BTC (and cryptocurrency more generally) you have the capability of having your private key in a hardware wallet under your control and retain the capability to transact independently of other institutions.

If you keep some percentage of your wealth here you retain certain advantages that you can't get elsewhere. The closest alternative would be having cash (in cash form), but it's hard to have that much, hard to travel with it (you can memorize your wallet seed words and recreate your wallet on the other side of a border), and cash is vulnerable to government stupidity (see: Russia).

I'm not sympathetic to the Canadian truck protests, but whether or not you care about what they're protesting - it's the capability wielded by the Canadian government over their private finances that's alarming.

All this is to say the focus on middleman and paying with crypto in the general case is kind of missing the forest for the trees.

The capability of a global self-custody capable store of value that can be trivially moved anywhere is a big deal and puts power back in the hands of individuals.

the American education system and I wouldn't be surprised if the numerous different Asian education systems all cover very different things.
100%! For those of us who need to learn from practical examples through to generalized intuition maths can be really really hard to learn depending on the source. Wish I was one of those people who finds it easier to learn from abstract first through to implementations second.
And why should anyone believe that State sponsored spam doesn't come from all angles? If I'm going to receive propaganda, I at least would like consistent sampling of it. And who cares about any of that - you have admonished an information search provider to determine what information it serves you based on subjective, undisclosed criteria of which there is good reason to believe is ideologically motivated.

I thought of that too, but I don't think I'll be able to hide away and do my own work. Their pay is also too tiny to being worthwhile.
There is great value in analyzing propaganda if you know it's propaganda. The danger comes in the fact that the majority of people can't distinguish actual reporting from disinformation. That's why it gets down-ranked.
It may not be at the level of dedicated CAD software, but I found this YouTube channel teaching how to narrow the gap considerably.

A lot of people either read or listen just long enough to catch a general point, and then immediately switch over to thinking of a response. Whether or not they've caught the actual gist of the other person's point or not. Kind of the "responding to the headline, without reading the article" phenomenon.

Other people are just the "ACTUALLLLLLY..." types, who have to be contrarian for the sake of being contrarian no matter what.

Either way, I knew with 100% certainty when posting the original comment that I would see a handful of "can't outrun a bad diet!" replies, from people who completely missed the point.
Yep, I also do this. It's excellent. Whether it's conditioning, placebo, or an effect of the receptors in the eyes; I'll take it.

There's something that feels good about being in sync with the natural day/night cycle. Cool white in the morning, warmer more dim light at night. I also like the idea of having a "sunrise/sunset" wall for any room that doesn't have proper windows but I've never implemented it.
I don't think these numbers reflect the current high prices for energy. I wonder how much more it will be for next month?

Worth to add that this level is exactly as expected (consensus).

Yep, search is getting more and more broken...

I remember all the "trump vs reporters" etc. compilations, that were funny... now searching for any of those terms (basically anything at all involving trump, or now russia) ignores almost everything in the searchbox, ignores all the small creators, just picks out the one keyword (trump/russia/putin/...), and show the CNN/MSNBC/... news related to that one term, and unrelated to other search terms in the search box.

We wan't search and "sort by relevant", not by "who we think is right".
I disagree, for multiple reasons.

You can see the examples that were brought up here. Function name lengths, log4j, dealing complex systems. The first two definitely have nothing to do with CS, the last could be I guess, depending on the overall architecture, but lots of complex systems are just piles and piles of simple cruft. That's not a CS problem.

I don't think engineering is the right analogy here. A better one would be: Physicists exist, so do electrical engineers, and so do electricians. Physicists do discovery, electrical engineers do design, and electricians do implementation. And unsurprisingly, the electricians are the most likely of the three to require a license to do their work. Most programmers do implementation work.

Finally... No, I don't think a physicist would be a good engineer necessarily, particularly in this context. I mean, there exist branches of engineering that are more like physics -- yes, a physicist should be able to turn into an antennas guy, I guess. But I don't see why a physicist would be good at making designs out of digital building-blocks.
Of course! As the factories get larger and larger, security becomes even more important, and traditional methods such as limiting access, badge-in/ badge-out, and access codes would be utilized.

In Buenos Aires, the northern, suburban, tolled highways have a non-tolled two-lane alternative that go side by side. Going west or south - some of them have a speedbump-filled alternative street, others don't even have that.

They don't ask which brand of car you're driving, but there's a really high correlation between income level and living area - northern parts being the richest.
