This is great. Has anyone created something like this and wired it to a 3D livestream to be watched with HD goggles?
I don’t know about a forest, but seed bombing is something that guerrilla gardners have used to reintroduce native plants back into blighted urban areas.

Reforestation projects that I have heard work well, works with ecological succession. Once clear cut, if grass gets into there, then that’s more difficult because soil ecology has changed to favor grasses.

But dumping a bunch of mulch will favor forest soil and favorable conditions for a forest. Mulch from cut trees usually go to the landfill, with arborists having to pay for it.

More fundamental ways are changing the way water flows through a system. Water just needs to be slowed down enough to accumulate organic materials. This video is about how the Arizona canal inadvertently created a water-harvesting structure that kicked off native wild growth along the bearm: https://youtu.be/jf8usAesJvo
How were the first forests made?
I know this is far from the main discussion, and that it's something that happens all the time, but I can't help feeling offended that this is called FIDO which nameclashes with a part of pre-internet history, FidoNet.
> I very much doubt many of these seeds will be successful.

Isn't that the entire point of using a ton of seeds? It's cheap and you only need N of them to sprout, so you just try to plant as many as you need to reach N viable ones. Seems like a weird way to dismiss the approach.
I use github for this.
Smoothest shave I get from an electric shaver/razor is by shaving in the shower with some face wash as "shaving cream" and using a wet shaver e.g. from the Philips AquaTouch line. Quick, easy, everything is clean after etc.

I'd say it gets very very close to a manual razor in terms of smoothness.
The elimination of shift cables may (eventually) result in a simpler lighter setup as well. Could also allow some innovation in gear design if the shifts are computer controlled. We’ll see.
I love see studies that try to show alternative ways to learn things, specially mathematics and languages. I think much of mass teaching like schools do it today just "kills" potential world changing minds that just becomes bored with current methods of teaching.
Everyone having a phone already is orthogonal to whether or not it is a good idea to require phones to function in society.

I don't see it as a slippery slope argument because almost everything will eventually move to being online-based, and if "having a phone" becomes the standard for authN, then someone without a phone is excluded from participating in all of those things.
Is it possible to play the game without having to register an account?
Nope. 2FA is already terrible enough and does not provide any meaningful security that can’t be provided conventionally. Making it become “only FA” eg password-less is an unimaginably disastrous idea.
U.S. Copyright Office Seeks Input on Mandatory DMCA “Upload Filters”
> If you want to have internet access without being near internet AP, you have to accept surveillance. This applies equally to phone, or tablet with SIM card, or laptop with external 3G modem.

That is true in practice, but not true in theory. There are urban WiFi networks that already operate without spying on the users. Nothing prevents mobile networks from being applied in the same way on a technical level.

In fact when you're using a mobile network, you are near an internet AP in the form of a cell tower. Taking 5G NR, you even have to be nearer to it than you would be to your WiFi AP.

Surveillance is not a result of form factor or function, it's a result of social organization.
That would make sense to me if this particular warehouse/region/whatever was characterized as having notably worse conditions than others. Reading about Amazon warehouses, it seems like a pretty universally bad working environment, regardless of which one.
Big fan of your work, Raph.

One small typo:

> {anonymous function of type FnMut(u32) -> ()}

It looks like the param type should be `&mut u32`. And in that simple case the whole thing could probably just be `fn(&mut u32)` since the closure doesn't capture any locals.
Can attest. Any conflict it can't resolve, it'll add the other version it's comparing and append "(Conflict from 5/7/20 1:00pm)" or something to it's name.

Not saying it's bullet proof, but I've never lost anything before.
Damn, I'm surprised they deleted his page. He was a real nutjob, but a notable nutjob. I have a pdf of one of his books about psyops archived somewhere.
Worth noting that EVE already has a fairly competent API[1]!

It's been a long time since I played but there was also a good range of tools to snarf in world data. For example as you navigated your spaceship around & looked at the various regional markets, the game would download effectively csv files, which were easy to look for & read. This lead to a market-data-gathering service called Eve Market Data Relay[2] where these files would be shared. And a website EVE Central for viewing. A couple years latter EVE created official API endpoints for this, but there still are third party services for market data[3]- tbh Im not sure why. Notably this wiki page already has advice for Excel integration!

Creating game-worlds which, like the real world, can often expose & share & make connectible their data & mechanisms is a frontier I keep hoping we see expand. Being able to modify & expand our experiences of gaming feels like a more unbounded creativity that I hope we get to play with.

I do wish CCP would make a server where people were free to explore bots & hacking the game client. For a while the python interpretter running the game client could be accessed & you could directly script you ship. "Go to this warp gate. Jump. Approach this enemy. Lock. Fire." The idea that we could learn programming & explore artificial agency in such a rich universe was hughly compelling to me, is a vision I hope eve or some.other game eventually offers options in.

How many people who are critical of the current state of JS actually use it on a daily basis? Modern frameworks like React and Vue don't exist to fill in the gap left by native JS, they exist so that you write your application in a declarative way where the view is rendered as a function of state. This relieves the developer of keeping track of DOM state, as you only declare the render function once, and after that you only need to manage state.

If anything, modern frameworks tend to build as much upon the native functionality that is available. This reduces bundle sizes and increases performance. It's an abstraction on top of the browser capabilities, not a clone.

Now, onto the code itself. The author claims it is "pretty simple" to build "fairly complex things". He backs up the claim by stating it took only 60 minutes to write this app.

First, I would be careful to claim things are easy or difficult. This is very subjective, and phrased in the wrong way it can also come across as arrogant.

Second, the app is not simple. Looking at the code the author created his own DOM abstraction. The current abstraction is only proven to work for a simple to do app.

Third, a to do app is not a "complex thing". Not even remotely.

It's a nice exercise, but the conclusion drawn by the author aren't valid.
"What you know" provides better protection, made better still by requiring something you have and/or something you are. FIDO is a combination of weaker protections plus added convenience. Its better than passwords in terms of being easier.

Perfect is the enemy of the good, and perfect security cannot exist. FIDO is perfectly fine for some things. For anything actually important and worth protecting it's a step in the wrong direction and even worse it's being pushed for by groups who want to increase their ability to collect your data and control you.
Sorry, had two night shifts. Still owe you an answer. From my perspective. Since this is only text, no emojis ... how do you know that the person reading will get your tone / intention. Well, you don't. And thats you fundamental right: To say what you like and how you like it. This is why I phrased the remark like it is: In my opinion, your comment is 50/50 for understood / misunderstood, why not raise the odds of understanding in your favour. There is "good sarcasm" in personal communication with people who can read you. But this is a public forum ... anyway. Have a good weekend.
Driving a submarine wherever you want isn’t a fundamental human right. Deciding about one’s own body is.

A better example would be forcing someone to become an organ donor to save someone else. That’s pretty much equivalent to abortion ban.
Thanks! This is great info.

I didn't know the details about different scopes and had always assumed the sites would obtain at least the name and email address, because all I ever saw was the prompt "To continue, Google will share your name, email address, language preference, and profile picture with <site>."
I don’t understand how airforce one got thrown out as another example of waste
They also cool faster and depending on material, don't transfer heat at the same rate.

Cast iron pans are actually not great at heat transfer, which is why you see pans like all clad where there's aluminum or copper clad in steel. They are really good at holding heat though, so when you put something cool into them they don't immediately get cold.

Most people really don't care about this though. If you're a foodie, you're probably not going to be satisfied with the $5 wal mart nonstick pan, because it's a thing you care about. For everyone else who doesn't care, they either have a completely different definition of what 'good performance' is (and buy accordingly) or they don't cook anyway.
Nim had to face the deletion nazis for a while for not being "notable" enough:

I think you could ask an admin for a copy of the deleted article. On my small home wiki, such a request would be fulfilled without any trouble.
It’s just crazy to me that RSS doesn’t have a property specifically for an image URL. Like, what’s the problem with that? Does ATOM have this support?
>"If your system can have a conversation with a human who believes they're talking to another human afterwards, it's AI, we're not there yet."

That happened well over 50 years ago! There's something fundamentally wrong with the goalpost, and abandoning it was far from arbitrary.
I wonder what you do with all the 20 minutes total you save a year. Still I don’t blame you but I’m a person who enjoys doing things the “hard” way, that lets you enjoy the results and contemplate things in a different way.
The US is incapable of thinking outside of the "us versus them" box. For example, they don't see other countries as independent, they only see them as alies or enemies. It is a fifth grade mentality that permeates the whole country.
The idea was to tie their welfare together with Russia’s to strengthen the bond of the nations and work toward a friendly future together.

That didn’t work out but I don’t know that Europe should be chastised for wanting to engage with Russia in good faith.
Just say you wish everyone was required to be chipped at birth with a NFC private key, Big Tech. I'm only being half sarcastic. There's a lot of outlandish conspiracies around this idea, but I think we all know it's heading in that direction, unless we continually reject it.
Given how long pancakes have been a thing, I suspect they were invented on cast iron.
I just use a face wash that lathers up nicely.
If you don't want any kind of medical technology it will most likely be a rather short future...
I've got a later version of the same thing. They work very well, but the blades do eventually need replacement--and it's the same game of the blades being unduly expensive.
>So, instead of a victrola, the must have used a motor-ola?

>(That's the actual origin of the company name.)

You've just blown my mind.
I really hate that we truly think and market smartphones as some sort of secure device. To me the whole thing looks like creating massive single point of failure. A single device have big enough vulnerability and essentially everything is lost. Including all the usual recovery options from email, phone calls to SMS messages.

As security person I prefer much more old school options, like that I can still use single use passwords with my bank. But I fear that this will go away one day...
Is the custom Google search engine same as the main one in terms of its algorithm?
I understand, that the double-dash was a logical step from a single-dash.
My problem is, what we ended up with, is really not great. It's a typical case of the slowly boiled frog...

rc and es is an good example of what improvements can be achieved, if we challenge historical decisions and get rid of the not so great ones.

The "; " prompt was just a historical side-note, because I saw someone asking about it the other day on twitter:

By the quoting rules, I meant, that if you have a variable (eg v='a b') with a value containing whitespace, when you reference it ($v), then you don't have to worry about quoting it in any way, because the space in its value won't cause any problems.
What if you were applying via the careers page, and there was an optional upload field for a cover letter?
No, this is just the beginning of their counterstrike. I fully expect Amazon to close that warehouse as soon as they legally can.
It would be a different demo, but this could be made fairly modern with some lightweight tooling and dependencies:

- Use esbuild to bundle the app.
- Now you can change the file extension and switch to Typescript. (Esbuild doesn't check the types, but VS Code will.)
- Then change the file extension to tsx and use Preact.

I'm writing a little app this way and it seems quite nice. I don't think I'm missing anything?
I'm sure plenty of people would have appreciated never having to learn to read to fill out paper forms in the past either.

This has gone off on a weird tangent; the article is about how a new standard can greatly simplify account passwords, the very hardest and frustrating thing about modern life on the web.

Changing that into "we shouldn't have any rich if we don't want to" is a strange reaction to making tech more accessible. But perhaps if one wants to eliminate tech from people's lives then making tech as bad and painful as possible might be one way to do that; but it seems like a foolish way to pursue that goal.
I am genuinely interested in the claim "Feudalism is the default economic system". To understand what that claim amounts to, I asked lumost to clarify what they understand by "feudalism".
LSTMs were around for about 17 years before they revolutionised NLP.
Huh? We’ve made demonstrable progress towards GAI, massive leaps in the last five years. If you don’t think GPT, DALL-E, muZero are evident of that then you are lost in cynicism.

We don’t need to define consciousness or intelligence concretely to have things that most people would agree are intelligent.
Ah I see, my mistake, yes I wouldn't look to xDebug to track down performance issues admittedly, it's too cumbersome and limited as you've noted. My use case for it's profiling is simple comparisons between changes, to see if what I've done did infact improve a specific performance issue. New Relic is a godsend when you're trying to track down production performance issues, especially of the intermittent kind.
But what are you cooking where there’s no other related prep? If you’re using a pan and not a microwave surely there’s a minute or two of work to do.
Yeah it does sound like nobody wants the young people that are already on the planet, why bother making more unwanted young people?
The alternative right now is people using the same pot password everywhere, and/or writing it down on post it noted next to their computer. We need far better solutions for the majority.
I find it hard to say something has been obsoleted by a tool which depends on the former to function
AMD chromebooks would be amazing Linux machines if it wasn't for Google messing things up.
I think they are moving because people are scared
Yeah we actually are much closer to the "old" ART than using the disciminating bit aproach of HOT.

Hot is a more complex data structure with a less deterministic structure which makes it less suited for set operations defined over it and makes it difficult to store the hashes of subtrees in the nodes, also it is not really suited for covering indices from what I can see.

The original ART is not a covering either because of their optimistic infix compression, but it's really easy to make it covering.

We also have the goal of being really "simple" in terms of moving parts, and "easy" in terms of implementation.

Our adaptiveness is not based on different node types but based on a single node type that comes in different sizes and uses perfect-consistent-locality-sensitive-cuckoo-hashing (yeah it's a mouthfull ^^'). We call the thing Persistent Adaptive Cuckoo Trie, or PACT (as in pact with the devil) for short.

The idea is that because of the 256-fanout, we can fine tune our hash functions, to be perfect and collision free, to preserve locality so that two adjacent byte keys will go into the same bucket, and to be consistent on resize, so that doubling the node size only requires a memcpy of the lower half of the new bucket array into the upper half (memory which needs to be initialised anyways, so we get the grow for free modulo reallocation overhead).

This not only saves us costly rehasing but also makes the implementation much simpler.

We figured if we want to build a competitor to RDF it better be implementable by anybody during a hackathon.

The binary triples (Tribles, get it?) that we store are 16byte unique entity id, 16byte unique attribute id, and 32byte value.

We don't do surrogate keys, to not only simplify the implementation and reduce latency, but to also be able to do range and limit queries from the primary indexes directly.

Because we store triples materializing all pssible indexes over our tables (3! + 3) is actually feasible.
This allows us to create a worst case optimal join algorithm that is completely skew resistant.

We're currently working on adding minhash heuristics into the PACT to always pic the optimal variable order for constraint propagation which should make things instance optimal (a first to our knowledge).

So yeah basically the idea is to have a immutable in-memory knowledge base that is amortized O(1) for everything. I.e. you pay per inserted element but not by how much was already inserted, you pay proportional to the size of the intersection of the operands for set ops and not propertional to sum of the operands, you pay proportional to your result size for a query and not propertional to the size of the data queried.

We also have a (still very stealthy) discord channel if you'd like to chat some more about this stuff at discord.gg/tribles :D
This guy bureaucrats.
Considering that:

- some cookies are essential for the website to work,

This is cool.

Is there a way in Ankify to export cards to any mobile apps?I always want to study Anki on mobile but in the mobile apps I know about, the experience of creating cards is too tedious.

It want to be able to create cards on desktop but usually study on mobile!

If you like building in Electron, you may like Ionic if you build a mobile app ;)

I wish Anki mobile apps were just a nice simple view/study experience, with the create and edit features much better suited to desktop UI.
Okay, so, who by you is paying Wikipedia to peddle which agenda?
tl;dr Alito realizes he is wrong (“prove too much”), but then he discards this valid reasoning because it doesn’t match his right wing ideology.
I'm reading this on a panel that's at a *minimum* 17 years old. I think it's older than that.

The newer panels are nicer but since this is a 19" and they don't make nice 19" panels anymore I can't upgrade them. (I also have a 27" Dell Ultrasharp--it's superior, but it doesn't come in 19" and 19" has the largest pixels--nice for older eyes.)
Half of the responses here seem like GPT-3 to me. "It's all so dumb and not going anywhere." It's like you are all just mindlessly coughing up the words of others in one giant circle jerk. It's simultaneously infuriating and validating to read your nonsense.
I've had the same with an expensive set as well as cheaper sets. I know to avoid exposing them to very high heat or metal but they end up flaking anyway. At least with materials like stainless steel you'd have to do something extreme to damage them so it's not likely to happen accidentally.
That is a laughably bad source.

I'm already in the auth approval hell working as consultant with multiple separate corporate customer and all the 2fa authentications needed in my daily activities. Including fun broken flows that mean I get notification that I don't even need, because I need to use different account...

In the end this likely only leads to training people to automatically approve anything as every little piece of software on their machines needs approval once a day or more often at worst...
Wow, in one of the cases (https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:Article...), they actually deleted the page entirely, then re-created it, so that any prior edit history was lost. Talk about deceptive.

Good thing no-one printed the page out, or we might have to hear one of those "Where they have burned books, they will end up burning people" lectures. But this is "on a computer", so entirely different.
That is demonstrably false based on the tasks AI is proficient in today
Loose leaf for real is just dumping tea in a cup and pouring water over. All but a few leaves will settle, signifying it's ready to drink. You develop skill to not let the few floaters get in the way of drinking it. Whack and rinse cup to get leaves out, don't let it sit long. Easily done on the trail when weight and trash are important to minimize.

I prefer tea bags because it's still easier to clean up, even though taking a dripping wet bag out of the cup is a messier process and is trash. A gaiwan or even teapot is rarely compatible with my normal in-the-moment tea drinking style. I aspire for it to be some day.
I think you need to define personal compute as including mobile phones/tables for that to be true. I've had several even highly technical colleagues with no non-work 'computer' - they use an iPad or whatever, because that's sufficient for their non-work use of one.
