The Little Can That Could
IMO the problem is why such stubborn holdouts exist and why can't the government work with them...

I suspect the legal system is one of the reasons. Judges and precedents carry more weight than in other countries, where parliaments can just pass a law that's unassailable.

On the other hands I read here news about authorities summarily seizing (not just freezing) assets from people that are only accused. That's unconceivable in other jurisdictions.
I see what you're saying, and really I do generally think Apple gets too much hate for their walled garden. It frees them to specialize for their niche, and if you don't like it you don't have to use their products! I sure don't. There's no doubt in my mind that Asahi won't be as power efficient as MacOS on an M1. But so, so much of that efficiency comes from the hardware. If Apple could make an x86 chip that power efficient just on software alone, they presumably would have. Plus, though I'm obviously no expert, I vaguely recall reading that offloading to the smaller cores is supported on Asahi, which is a good portion of the efficiency.
Compared to Humanities, STEM faculty are the highest paid in academia. There is no "glut' of chemistry and biochemistry PhDs. There is high demand for biochemists with an expected 5% increase in positions in the next decade.
The argument against school choice us utterly unreasonable to anybody outside of the teacher's union. Their argument against is essentially that their pet school would go out of business because nobody would choose to go there if there were alternatives.
For those curious, this tool uses arbitrary precision floating-point arithmetic (up to 3000 bits) to sample the input space and measure the error of different implementations of the function, then some clever numerical program synthesis to generate candidates and search for the most accurate implementation.

> And the standard way of cancelling your service will be to log into the government portal, browse the list of subscription services you're subscribed to until you find what you're looking to cancel, click the checkbox next to it, and click 'Unsubscribe'. And the government portal will send an authenticated request to the company's legally-mandated cancel API and the cancel request, by law, must immediately result in automated total purging of the user's account with the company within 10 seconds of receiving the request.

Turkey has that, but unfortunately only a limited number of companies participate.
On the other hand, nobody has a greater wealth of intimate experience with a dog than his owner. So in this case the owner is the authority. Overwhelmingly so. So we would do well to listen to what he says.
I agree with this from a practical perspective.

But it is worth pointing out that it is actually possible to maintain "perfect" accuracy when doing arithmetic even when sqrts (or other irrational numbers) are involved.

The idea is to store numbers as an AST consisting of an expression. Then you can perform any arithmetic on them by growing the AST. After each operation you simplify as much as you can. Once you have your final result you can evaluate the AST up to any precision that you need (and sometimes your final AST will already be a rational number because sqrts cancelled out)

I want to create a new VR controller
TL;DR Is it possible to make controllers for VR (oculus quest) using IR LEDs for tracking?

I want to develop complementary tools (controllers, etc) for que oculus quest 2. I know that they use IR to track the current controllers, so I am wondering if in UNITY I can do track of other IR sources.

IE: a mechanical keyboard that can be connected to Bluetooth and can be tracked by 4 IR leds

for context: My background is in electronics, i have a IoT development startup and want to build hardware for VR.
I'm not sure what legal fiction you are talking about: https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/8/1325

The rules are not arbitrary. At least, they are only as arbitrary as literally every law is. You probably enforce similar rules in your own domain. Or maybe you are as compassionate and empathetic as you claim, and just let uninvited people stay on your property.

> and shows a lack of compassion and empathy for people who immigrate in ways that don't tick the arbitrary boxes.

It appears you have a savior complex. I'll guess you imagine illegal border crossers are all poor brown women with children fleeing gang violence, just yearning for freedom. Otherwise I'm not sure how you can talk about empathy and compassion about a group of millions of people per year who all have different experiences and motivations for illegally entering the US.
Yeah OP is completely wrong. There is tons of lead paint on the walls in just about every city in the US. Remediation has been completely ad hoc and the restrictions on selling a house with lead paint are almost always a single sheet o paper that says “Sign here to acknowledge that there may be lead paint.”

Someone correct this if wrong but I watched a video that claimed 50% is the optimal level that keeps degradation at lowest levels. That may be why you have the decreasing options on the laptop going even down to 60% which I've never heard of.

It had something to do with the charge of lithium ions wanting equilibrium. The further it is from 50% in either direction causes wear due to ions moving around. Letting the battery completely die also wasn't recommended. We really need some experts to set this all straight!

These days worrying about extending your battery life by 5-10% is not worth the hassle of worrying about it. Apple products seem to have smart enough charging and others are probably similar. Imo not worth wasting brain cycles on.

Looks good. In early stage teams it's easier to teach teams the tool you use because this way they can dive deeper. The teams I worked with were keen to learn GA and analytics as it helps them for personal growth.

At another startup, over the weekend, we connected tableau to our DB (which was also pulling in mixpanel via API) and scheduled reports to be sent to every employee.

I like the idea of live data which can be a dashboard of sorts, as to how I can see myself using it. Connect your data source (eg segment) -> Use prebuilt queries -> it gives an overview dashboard which can be sent to everyone as a report in email every morning -> If people are reading it, makes your job easier. (of course, use it as a live source for wherever and whenever people open it.) makes all the meetings and discussions easier.

Unfortunately while Posits (and Unums) are more accurate for some computations, they are still designed around using small numbers of bits to represent numbers, so they have error in computations just like floating point. The argument for posits are mostly that they produce less error on the inputs you care about, and more on the ones you don't, but it really depends on your computation; you really have to know what you're doing to use them safely.

> the standard textbooks are excellent

A caveat. Some years ago, at a first-tier university, some physicists and mathematicians were munching. A physics professor described how days earlier he thought he had found a case of a well-respected intro physics textbook saying something wrong. But, after some hours and days of thought, he realized the textbook was very carefully worded so as to not be incorrect. Yay. Most everyone smiled and agreed it was an excellent textbook.

A bit later, there was a quiet out-of-band question: So... if you're already an expert on the topic, and do a close read, after thinking about it for days, you will escape being misled... and this is a win??

There's an old physics education research joke: If you think your lectures are working, your assessment also isn't. I've found that to apply to much science education content as well.
No, you're not reading that right. It states "Qualified candidates will have a Ph.D. in chemistry, biochemistry, or equivalent discipline and have significant experience and strong record in teaching chemistry or biochemistry at the college level."
A Wrinkle In Time, by Madeleine L'Engle

I probably read it in fourth or fifth grade, not too many years after it was published. It was definitely the first science fiction novel I ever read. It wasn't until many years later that I saw how foundational to my worldview it was that my first SF book had a female protagonist.

I was going to give a few other examples of truly life-changing works (LOTR, Dune, Neuromancer), but I'm not sure how I would have found them if A Wrinkle In Time hadn't opened by pre-adolescent eyes.

Zooming right in helps, but with 100% knowledge of the answers I still got points deducted.
This was very true for me, switching jobs after six years where I had become a domain expert. There is definitely a psychological aspect that makes it difficult—you feel awkward being the noob when you're used to being the expert. There is also just a plain skills gap—you apply your skills differently as an expert than a noob and so you will need to relearn to operate in that new context.

When switching jobs, I looked for something that was different, but not so different that I would be overwhelmed. I was still a bit overwhelmed. I think it took me almost two years to reach my "comfort zone" again. It was worth it though. I built up a lot of new ways of thinking about things that I never would have had I stayed with my original job.
>There is no Android and PC that I can buy where KDE connect is just installed and works. That's the difference.

Sure, but now we're moving the goal posts and arguing about semantics. The original comment I replied to, said Apple features are only achievable due to their ecosystem and I disproved him, that's it. The fact that the Linux community doesn't have billions of $ for marketing and commercialization of their products is a separate issue that's been the thorn of Linux adoption on the desktop since forever.

>I buy a new iPad and MacBook, log in with my iCloud account, and boom, it works.

Unfortunately, some people in the world that don't earn western wages can't afford to own several Apple products worth multiple times their salaries to enjoy the ecosystem, so it's great that FOSS alternatives exist that do the same things so those less fortunate can enjoy them at a fraction of the cost.
Please disabuse yourself of these sentiments. There has never been a better time to be alive and your three year old will have a far better life than you or I. Climate change is a problem but there will be solutions.
"Contextual adaptation" is what they want, but that doesn't mean it's coming in the near future. However, this does mean that funding for research on it will be available.

As I've said for years, the big lack in AI is in the "common sense" and unstructured manipulation area. Nobody can build something with squirrel levels of manipulation and agility, even in simulation. Robot manipulation in unstructured situations is still very poor. The people trying to simulate C. elegans at the neuron level can't get that to work, despite a full wiring diagram and years of effort.

Something very low level is not understood. There's a Nobel Prize waiting for whomever figures that out.

However, "difficulty" is Souls games has two parts. One good--one bad.

1) There is the "Git Gud" part. This is fine. Having some difficulty in executing game actions is fine. Having to be alert to even low-level enemies is fine.

2) There is the "WTF do I upgrade?" part. This is bad. "Poise" was the canonical example where if you didn't understand it you would get turned into paste by enemies with no idea why. Having to read a full treatise on the web before starting a game is not something you should have to do.

To be fair, most RPGs suffer this problem, but the Souls games suffer it worst because the enemies hit very hard. I think the Souls games would benefit a lot from being able to freely reallocate your points in skill until you hit some level (10-15-20?) that then locks them in. "Hey, I got pasted by that enemy. Maybe I should adjust my skill points and see what that "poise" thing does on the next pass."

I think they're talking about measures in the mathematical sense. It measures something real, but a difference of one IQ point doesn't mean the same thing across the entire scale, so you can't just sum IQ point differences.

The thing is - induction is shown to be better now. It’s faster and more powerful and doesn’t create the waste heat. There are specialty ones for woks now too - that are curved and all.

So really it is the gas lobby that is fueling this resistance to the switch. I myself used to buy into the cooking with gas was better because of all the media, my partner, and so forth. But the truth is - cooking with gas sucks for the most part. The newer induction ranges with temperature sensors and what not are actually better. And no waste heat and no toxic fumes except for what you’re cooking.

Honestly - I’m a big convert. I just need to move into a non-rental so I can install 230v induction instead of having to use 120v stuff. (Which is still good but obviously 5000w is much better than 1800w)

And if we compare shit electric to a gas stove then yeah - gas is better. But once you start using decent induction… it’s not really a problem unless you like to move your pan around a lot and even then - you can learn a different technique to get a similar effect.

I’m well aware of the dangers. All of my bike accidents involved cars. There’s inherent peril in sharing the road with varying speeds and sizes. Not to mention humans turn into sociopaths on their vehicles of choice, especially after these pandemic years.

It’s peculiar to perseverate on how bikes are so unsafe compared to vehicles when such a high proportion of cycling injuries and deaths are because humans are bad at driving or not respectful of rules meant to protect everyone on the road. I’m asserting that because it’s not like humans are just spontaneously falling off their bikes and dying. Sure an errant and reckless cyclist can get him/herself killed by running a light, but if cars were never there, would we even be having this conversation?

I know the original point was that riding a bike can be dangerous, more so than driving a car, but you can’t examine cyclist security without talking about humans in cars.

Very thought-provoking.
This is actually fewer bits than they're using in the article, but that's not clear because they refer to their numbers by how many "[decimal] digits", not how many bits. The hardware doubles they're starting with are 64-bits wide, representing 15.5 decimal digits, but then they move into 128- and 256-bit representations. 80-bit math, such as that available on the old x87 floating point co-processors, is I believe about 21 decimal digits.
Leetcode is probably the best resource (I've tried a few) for programming problems. They're very representative of real-world interviews (medium difficulty will do).

I'm confused by your judgment of the price. The Leetcode premium price for a couple of months is peanuts for an SWE.

Additionally, you'll need to add systems design studies, if required. This will cost you extra money, to spend at leat on Grokking the systems design interview.

Finally, it's extremely important to do mock interviews (which will also cost you, unless you decide to use pramp, which, however, is lower quality); while the experience of being interviewed on programming problems is not really different from Leetcode, systems design, and especially behavioral interviews, can be significantly different (in a "hard" sense) from what one imagines.
