Asking there to be fewer people while:

1. Fearmongering about crime in cities, which is not a a real issue.

2. Overhyping the costs of not driving in general. (No one sent you can't use a car x times a month to do your rural hobby.)

3. Most fundamentally at all, neglecting that American norms of crazy amounts of driving are out of line with other developed countries too.

Is morally bankrupt. "Technology breakthroughs" is a complete red-herring when we already have the technology to be vastly more sustainable per capita if only you weren't wedded to an insane suburban lifestyle.

If I were some developing country person with 10 kids living in poverty, why would I give a flying fuck about some SUV driver's crocodile tears?

The mast politics are only possible if you are willing to give something up in return for what you are asking for.
Yes, this. COVID-19 is topical now, so we're looking hard, here.

I'd say more than 1 million confirmed deaths and over 81 million confirmed cases (in the US) in two years is more than just topical. We are approaching half a billion cases globally with over 6 million deaths.

Yes, there have been lots of Corona viruses in the past, some of which result in things as ubiquitous as the common cold.

It's called a novel Corona virus for a reason: humans had essentially zero immunity to this virus and its ability to evade the body's defenses and mutate so quickly at this scale is something we haven't seen before. Each major variant is more transmissible and more elusive than the previous one. BA.2 is now the dominant strain and the FDA just authorized another booster [2]. In many ways, we are still coming to grips with what we're dealing with.

We don't have a choice but to continue to look hard at COVID-19--the results of allowing it spread so widely are right in our faces and we have to deal with it.

This is an English class, and the teacher is arguing it allows her to give more specific and useful feedback. This isn't some kind of "everyone gets a trophy" thing and I don't thing any one is advocating for this in the hard sciences.

In this specific case of a writing seminar it makes a lot of sense.
Remember that cos(a+b)=cos(a)cos(b)-sin(a)sin(b)
That would also be addressed by a more detailed explanation of court records, or a binary yes/no of whether the tenant was ultimately found guilty of a transgression against previous landlords, no?

The previous comment is pointing out that this could be a problem if you've been sued by an unscrupulous landlord in the past. That problem exists for fixed income people as well.
It's about probability. I mean I have my issues with US foreign policy but at the end of the day they are more friendly and reliable than Russia.

Yeah if the US ever goes rogue we're all doomed but then your antivirus software will be the least of your worries.
Not hating on the artist in particular here, but at this point this style is so derivative and worn out it almost reminds me of the "sand filter" americans put on scenes meant to take place in mexico or the middle east. Obviously not all art needs to portray things as they are, but this doesnt seem to offer much of anything of meaning - and if you're just looking for the most simple "looks pretty" standard, I'd say this type of filter / style almost detracts from the photography.

I live in Tokyo and know like 10 different photographers pumping out this style.

For Windows one of the best things you can do, AV or not, is to NOT make your daily driver account an administrator. Create an admin account with a secure password and then another standard user account for yourself and use that standard user for everything. When installing something you will need to put in your admin password but it is really not a big deal to do so. Massively reduces your chance of ransomware and all kinds of crapware.

Enabling protected folder access and process isolation in Windows 10 is also a good idea.
"Middle-ear infection". So, more specific than just ear infection. But the same number of syllables as "otitis media". But when you say the latter, you are not only saying you know what it is, but hinting you know what to do about it. (Which you might not.)
Best of the best is very subjective. Once you're over the academic bar of being able to do the work, other factors are far more important for success in college and life.

Essentially, there's a bar for intellectual horsepower – which 4 in 5 Harvard applicants are above. And this is the same for all highly-selective institutions.

Then, other factors become far more important. Specifically, colleges look for people who are unusual even in a pool of extremely higher-performers (essentially the top 1% of all high school graduates). Students who are unusually driven, unusually intellectually curious, unusual contributors, unusual experiences, unusual at taking the initiative.

These personality traits are very similar to what YC looks for in founders. Raw intellectual horsepower is important – but only to a point. Given the choice between a student far above the academic bar without any other distinguishing features and a student just above the academic bar but is unusually driven – we'd pick the unusually driven person pretty much every time.
I would say it is no longer a hyped language (Kotlin took over that position), but it recently became Scala 3 which was a huge revamp. It polished some of the edges regarding implicits (which is a really useful and novel feature), and it has a very advanced and elegant type system with optional null-checking.

How many of these new construction numbers ignore the number of existing units taken "offline" in order to make way for this new construction?
I think this approach has merit - if there is discipline to downgrading students that clearly haven't mastered the material and assigned themselves an "A"

I was a perfectionist and very competitive university student. I didn't just want the A -- I wanted the top score in the class. I often reflect decades later that I would have been better off mastering about 85-90% of the material in a class and then moving on to something else -- versus mastering 110% of the material through repetitive practice even after I had mastered it to obliterate a narrow exam in it.

The current system encourages this because employers are more interested in the high GPA student than the students that have mastered a wide range of content at a B+ level. Perhaps this is part of the solution. There has to be accountability in the system for not mastering it - but the goal should be developing overall knowledge.
Both proofs are wrong, second one is closest. Second one should not claim that N is a prime (it likely isn't). It should say N is not divisible by any of p_i, and since due to Fun. Theo. of Arith. it is such that N = Sum {c_i q_i} where q_i are prime, and none of q_i in {p_i} which shows a finite list of primes is not possible construct.
No, I don't believe it's the DoJ's job to track law enforcement. There is some Federal-level recordkeeping of crime statistics... training... intelligence sharing.

Could you explain what you mean, or give some examples?

Unless I'm mistaken there's no indication in TFA on the topic this person teaches, which is very important in my opinion, because grading a science-related work is indeed very different from grading literature-related stuff.

Both teachers and students sometimes forget that grading is not a "judgment", but an evaluation of how much of the knowledge/know-how they are supposed to have by graduation, have been learned. To the point that sometimes you can get a "F for bad behavior". No wonder students are confused when you use different meanings of sanction with the tool.
Thank you, I missed that detail. I do think the larger question of DAOs replacing trust with code/law is worth further discussion.
I agree, the "problem" is on the consumption side not the production side. I don't expect my bricklayer or cabinet maker for coder to enjoy their job. I buy what they are making.

The fact is that there is and always will be a market for consumerization Hobbies. People who would rather watch someone play a game then play a game, watch a band than play in one.

Yes, more people try to be creators than will be successful at it. So what? Unless they try to socialize the costs of their experiment, good for them. Life is an adventure and you are free to make mistakes.

Change takes time. Tell your Congressional reps this a function you expect the IRS be able to provide. It's a policy/people problem, not a tech problem. IRS is actually fairly agile (no pun intended) as it relates to service delivery, considering how quickly they had to support covid stimulus payments and tracking of said payments. They just need to be told by Congress they can offer filing services directly.

While a lot heavier but also good, GitLab CE/ EE have "snippets", basically gists, that are backed by git repositories. Same UI as GitHub gists, same comment/ visibility/ share system.
Isn't the obvious solution to also reverse the transfer from Bank B to Bank C? If multi-hop transfers are treated as irreversible, then it creates an incentive for fraudulent sellers to collect all payments through multiple hops. If instead fraudulent transactions may be reversed at the first payment processor, the payment processor then has a financial incentive to make sure that they only pass through valid transactions.

In an analogous situation, suppose I go to a physical store and buy a TV, only to find that it doesn't turn on. I have the right to return it to the same store that I bought it from, and to receive a full refund. Nobody at that store manufactured or designed the TV, so why should they take the financial hit for a broken TV? Except that without that financial incentive, the store has little reason to bargain with their suppliers about defective merchandise, and the supplier has little incentive to fix a defective product.
Yeah I see what you're saying! However, for me specifically, I know the mistakes were not fundamental ( Just gotta trust me on this one xD ).

The other comment pointed out that if you fully understand the material its a lot easier to judge your own understanding. Now that someone said that it seems really obvious, but It wasn't something I ever thought about!

Thanks for the insight
In the US, your final average grade typically (though not always) follows you for your first 1-2 jobs, at least. So it's quite important.

The objective is a high grade, and learning the material is second, due to the system.

And to be clear, the objective in the author's class is also a high grade. They're not living in another system, they're just pretending it doesn't exist until the very end of the term.

And I'm certainly not saying the system or particularly good, but it is the system that they have to work with right now.
This sort of "do what I mean" situation, where doing the thing the user intended is different from doing something technically correct, is a place GPT-3 excels. Even though returning the input would be easiest, it has the pragmatic judgement to predict that's not what the user wants.
These are big constellations of LEO satellites. Starlink, for instance, has 1500 satellites today, with a goal of 30,000. If we assume 10kg of propellant per satellite, then that's 300 tonnes for the finished constellation (Starlink satellites use a noble gas, I believe, but anyone using mercury for a similar scheme would hit that).

The whole _world_'s atmospheric emissions only seem to be about 250 tonnes per year.
>> Explain?

Yeah I thought that might not be clear enough. Let's say you want 0.1 degree accuracy but don't want a 3600 entry table. Make one table for every 1 degree. You get to use the same table for sin and cos by changing the index. That is the coarse table with 360 entries. Then make another table with sin and cos values for every 0.1 degrees, or specifically 0.1*n for n going from 0-9. This is another 20 values, 10 sin and 10 cos for small angles.

Take your input angle and split it into a coarse (integer degrees) and fine (fractional degrees) angle. Now take the (sin(x),cos(x)) from the coarse table as a vector and rotate it using the sin & cos values of the fine angle using a standard 2x2 rotation matrix.

You can size these tables however you need. I would not use 360 and 10 for their sizes, but maybe 256 and 256. This can also be repeated with a 3rd table for "extra fine" angles.

The Byzantine Generals Problem
Leslie Lamport, Robert Shostak, and Marshall Pease (1982)
ACM Transactions on Programming Languages and Systems,
Vol. 4, No. 3, July 1982, Pages 382-401
https://lamport.azurewebsites.net/pubs/byz.pdf

From the abstract:
... It is shown that, using only oral messages, this problem is solvable if and only if more than two-thirds of the generals are loyal; so a single traitor can confound two loyal generals. With unforgeable written messages, the problem is solvable for any number of generals and possible traitors. ...

Clearly this hack (and other prior crypto hacks) demonstrates that the 'Unforgeability' condition is practically impossible due to security implementation weaknesses. One can never rule that out entirely. That leaves no less than 2/3rds of the network as the bare minimum for reasonable consensus.

Lamport's paper is from 40 years ago and blockchains/systems that ignore these theoretical foundations are doomed to repeat the same flaws again and again!
I recently switched back to Rails after 7 or so years seeking (part-time) a better option, and wow....Rails and Ruby are still beautiful and my productivity has spiked tremendously. I'm finding https://hotwired.dev/ to be awesome, and was able to develop an interactive data grid in less than an hour.

If you haven't tried Rails lately because it's no longer cool, I encourage you to look again. I've tried many different frameworks, including Flask, but nothing touches Rails (IMHO) in terms of productivity.
How to Create Compensation Bands
Interestingly, these attempts are about the same as what pops up when I try to remember the proof:

- It's a proof by contradiction
- The key step is in taking the finite list of primes, multiplying them together, and adding 1

I then try to flesh out the details, it might take a second to realize that this new number is also prime, and then a few moments more to remember the exact rationale why.

Along the way the proof lives in a kind of superposition where I'm not clear on the exact details. The "proofs" you gave here seem to be serializations of a similar superposition! GPT-3 seems to remember the proof about as well as I do, but it's missing the final sanity check which tweaks the proof until all the pieces correctly fit together.

In this case, you seem to be performing a version of this sanity check by running the prompt multiple times until a correct answer comes out. I wonder if it's possible to prove something more obscure using a similar process: GPT-3 comes up with ideas and the human sanity checks.
Part of what makes cryptocurrency so alluring is its (current) Wild West, little to no rules, nature. Those very things will scare aware the masses until things stabilize at which point we return to the current state of things perhaps with some modest differences.

People forget that the current financial system is a product of thousands of years of evolution and many hard lessons learned.

Web 3.0 (as VCs see it) is a solution looking for a problem. I get a late-90s dotcom-era feeling from it. People saying what it takes to raise money and throwing a technical solution at what often isn't one.
FWIW, our official Redux Toolkit package solved the "boilerplate" concerns, including our new RTK Query data fetching API.

If you're happy with Vue, great! If you do get a chance, though, please take a look at the Redux docs tutorials to see how we teach writing "modern Redux" code today:

Making another observation on this - this is actually how the corporate world works - so might as well get used to it. You submit a self assessment -- and fairly or not -- your manager adjusts it to what they perceive. Might as well get started on understanding how to play and master that game.
I believe in parent rights. That is not a euphemism, coded speech, or dogwhistling. I believe the parents are responsible for raising their own children, I want to be the one to explain sex to them. I don't want the school to do it. This is one example of where the Narrative Project is spot on, at least for me and pretty much every conservative I know.

What year will GTP be able to take an app written in Swift/SwiftUI and output a spectacular Android translation? 3-years? 5-years? 10-years?

This is an interesting benchmark because it is a very difficult problem, however:
GTP has both everything it needs to do this without needing a fundamental improvement to the core of GTP (this process is more of a science than art) and using automated UI testing GTP can check if its solution worked.

Thus this challenge is in the realm of what GTP already is, however, once it can do this it will have massive implications for how software is built.
Depends on the place, most that I've ever dealt with were spliced into the harness. You got off lucky if they went the extra mile and used the less intrusive option. Those aren't as common.
Hey, David! I'm surprised by how many people seem to be confused or irritated by you sharing this. I'm imagining that some people are hearing a demand that they have to read it, and then they're obliged to do as you prefer. And I also see you replying with a cheerful "Thanks!" to comments which I find myself judging as discompassionate. That inspires me. So I just wanted to say that it seems to me like you really value clear communication, collaboration, and trust, and that this document is your attempt at meeting those needs.

Would you say this is an accurate reflection of what you wanted to express sharing it here? Would love to hear it.

yep, exactly, so LiveView needs to have that web socket doing diffs between the client and server side

htmx is just html++: any element can make any sort of HTTP request (GET, DELETE, etc.) based on any event and replace any other element in the DOM.

If you're looking to increase the number of temporarily homeless people, this sounds like a great approach.

Unfortunately, temporarily homeless people have a habit of turning into chronic homeless people. And living in a city that's full of chronic homeless people, I don't think we need more.

Your comfort and convenience as a landlord does not rank higher than my desire to not step over human shit on my way to work.
You wouldn't have to reverse all the transactions. You could trivially create a fork (which has to be longer, and therefore have more transactions available) that includes every transaction but one from the blockchain. Well, that is you can create that fork as trivially as you can create any other fork.
