Higher quality means different things to different people though. For one group that loves really classy metaphorical big-picture, slow-burn thrillers, the workaday Virgin River drama is like listening to off-key elevator music. But for Virgin River people, who really live in the workaday fantasy realm, Virgin River is an addiction, if not life itself.

I'd also wonder if part of Netflix's goal is making stuff that's high-enough quality to fit some part of a bell curve. This would mean making a lot of what amounts to low-quality content, to considerable portions of the Netflix audience.

Upping the quality level could then essentially shift the area where Netflix fits the curve, and cause the outflow of a lot of subscribers who perceive that they are paying for more quality than they want or need.

This could imply that your being here and asking this is just part of the way it works, given where you fall on some perceived-quality histogram, if there is such a thing.
also, I don't feel like crashing in hostels at this stage in my life. Would much rather find a travel buddy and split costs on a luxury 2 bedroom or 3 bedroom.

So did I, on the Lower East Side of Manhattan in the 1970s, when the murder rate was 1,000/year. Things have gotten less dangerous but people have gotten more fearful.
It appears above Programming when you start zooming in. Unintuitive order to put things, but it's there.
> "Data collected from 765 residential Manhattan buildings shows that their apartments grew from 950 square feet to 975 square feet on average over the last five years — roughly a 5% increase…."

I know you're quoting, but that sentence alone makes me suspicious; it represents an increase of under 3%, not 5%.
Technically yes, but that different key might not be computed efficiently (of course no guarantee for that, but no guarantee against that as well). To my knowledge 3DES's construction is only for seamless upgrading, where putting the original 56-bit key three times gives a 3DES key.
To my knowledge, none of these companies were run at a profit during Musk's involvement. While this is a normal part of growing a business, it leads to a bias on what people think could happen - rather than what does happen.

How much money did musk really make? how much of it is an artifact of monetary policy.

That's true - when you hit 4th CTE you are probably doing something wrong.

But not always. Some analytical queries may actually need such complexity. Also, during development, you would sometimes pick only first 50 rows before joining and grouping, with intention of not overloading the db. To do this you need a CTE (or nested select), but in PRQL you just add a `take 50` transform to the top.
Territorial chart?
Yeah but is crypto causing the crash or just a symptom of it?

It doesn’t seem like all the large investment banks and reinsurers are flirting with insolvency due to crypto exposure.

They definitely were due to CDO and mortgages. That distinction seems substantive.
I think of it as System 1 vs System 2 thinking from 'Thinking, Fast and Slow' by Daniel Kahneman.[1]

Deep learning is very good at things we can do without thinking, and is in some cases superhuman in those tasks because it can train on so much more data. If you look at the list of tasks in System 1 vs System 2, SOTA Deep learning can do almost everything in System 1 at human or superhuman levels, but not as many in System 2 (although some tasks in System 2 are somewhat ill-defined), System 2 builds on system 1. Sometimes superhuman abilities in System 1 will seem like System 2. (A chess master can beat a noob without thinking while the noob might be thinking really hard. Also GPT-3 probably knows 2+2=4 from training data but not 17 * 24, although maybe with more training data it would be able to do math with more digits 'without thinking' ).

System 1 is basically solved, but System 2 is not. System 2 could be close behind System 2 by building on System 1 but it isn't clear how long that will take.

I think the only real way to do content moderation is to delegate it to users. Let people create something like a subreddit, and then be in charge of content policy for it. Different communities can have different standards, and kicking people out of a given community doesn't ban them from Twitter entirely. There's even some informal version of this already as you can see with the "this part of Twitter" meme.
On a larger scale, the Meta Quest 2 uses a USB cable to plug into the computer so you can play VR games on your PC. The max length of the cable is something like 3 feet over copper. The link cable they sell switches from electric signals over copper to light over fiber, and then back to copper to get around the length limitations.

Not really the same thing but still cool!

Leveraged buyout at an inflated price in the short term. Banks backing the loans will get guaranteed interest payments on the loans plus a lucrative contract debt servicing and consulting fees in the medium term. Long term they'll IPO again and/or find a fool to acquire them.
I don't disagree with you, hence the sentence immediately following that. That said, tons of middle managers seem to buy into the BS more than the people above or below them, and seem to proudly think of themselves as stupid nickname that is applicable.

Right, and as I stated above, Hungary can threaten to establish closer ties with Russia if the EU cuts off their funding. This is a way to resist EU demands for internal political reforms and play towards the Fidesz party base.

For completeness, just one CPU/machine, but a recent checkout of zsv 2tsv (built with -O3 -march=native) on that same file/same computer seems to take 0.380 sec - almost 2X longer than c2tsv's 0.20 sec (built with -mm:arc -d:danger, gcc-11), but zsv 2tsv does seem a little faster than xsv cat rows.

OTOH, zsv count only takes 0.114 sec for me (but of course, as I'm sure you know, that also only counts rows not columns which some might complain about). { EDIT: and I've never tried to time a "parse only" mode for c2tsv. }
I haven't used DuckDB yet but the biggest differences I've discovered if you aren't working on huge datasets where the column/row thing makes a difference (you're probably not) are:

1. SQLite has a great GUI and is really really widely supported.

2. DuckDB is properly statically typed with a much wider range of types than SQLite, which is dynamically typed and only just added support for any kind of type checking at all.
how are the edges determined? i saw relative proximity is user interaction overlap, but there are discrete edges too if you click on a subreddit.

Do you have any source for this? I didn't see anything to that effect on Wikipedia (which cites articles from NEJM and other reputable journals when discussing the phenomenon) or the Mayo Clinic's page.

You (and others in this thread) are talking about this debunking as if it's common knowledge, but I'm not seeing it. Am I looking in the wrong places?

I half suspect Microsoft was bidding for Red Hat, and potentially that provoked IBM into action. It's just a theory, but Red Hat for many years was setup to avoid hostile takeovers from the likes of IBM with so called poison pill stocks or whatever.

Some of that depends on whether Twitter can partially self-fund the acquisition itself over time.

Most likely it can, that much more so if Musk negotiates a lower price. Debt is very inexpensive right now, especially for large corporations with a strong balance sheet. If Musk owns all of Twitter, he gets their $6 billion in cash and their balance sheet has no consequential debt issues.

Twitter is operationally profitable, despite being very poorly run in terms of cost structure. Their margins on sales should be far greater than at present; they have a bloated employee count and have for a very long time. There's no reason Twitter can't spit off $1b in operating income on $5b in sales.

Further, Musk has ~$9b in cash (per Bloomberg), lots of very rich friends (eg Ellison, Google founders, VC billionaires, etc etc) that believe in him, and lots of assets in Tesla and SpaceX he can borrow $10b-$20b against if needed.

That said - I don't think levering himself to the moon is wise and I don't think paying $40b+ for Twitter is smart. Particularly at this point in time (with the global economy shaky, the US economy contracting in real terms, China's economy shaky, and financial markets sinking).
Also Firefox (97.2.0 (Build #2015863827)) on Android, for me it's working.
This behavior of police seems to me as a lazy way to do their job. Even a way to not do their job. To make place safe for children they need to keep an eye on kids, not to to round them up.
I am not saying that Alpha Fold won't help scientists publish papers. I am just skeptical (though still hopeful) of it doing anything to improve the human condition by actually making human existence better. Publishing papers can be of neutral or negative utility in that realm.
Scale was not the right word - maybe I meant distance or resolution. Does QM make a prediction that could be falsified at this resolution?
It’s not a proposal. It’s how the law works. If there are layoffs, then yes you can lose your job on parental leave, technically as long as the elimination of your position is unrelated to taking leave. I’m not saying that there is no way to do it. I’m saying that it’s a dumb thing to do.

The message should be just as horrifying whether or not you have kids. The message is: “We made a commitment about your terms of employment. We are willing to break that promise openly and publicly with one of our leaders. Do you think we won’t do it to you?”

Anyone at twitter right now should see this as a red flag at a time when everything is in flux.

Management is in chaos in the middle of a politically contentious buyout, and doing things like firing people on parental leave that will necessarily read badly in the press.

If I were at twitter right now I would be getting everything in writing, and lining up a new job that starts the day my RSUs go liquid.
This is an absolutely magical device that nevertheless makes me sad.

When I was a kid I thought I'd be riding around in flying cars by now. The problem ended up surprising me: It's not that flying cars don't exist--they do. The problem is they cost a million dollars because every one is built by hand. So there's no way I'll ever own one.

I'd also like to have a portable synth with great sound, long battery life, a multitude of handy features, and excellent design. But it's the same surprising problem as the flying cars: The technology to build it exists but it costs 10x what I'd be comfortable paying.

I'd be okay paying 2x for the great design, but 10x just makes the thing a piece of wealth-signifying jewelry. Even if somebody gave me one, I'd never want anybody to know I had it.
OK, that explains that; thanks.
Multiple countries have tax incentives for carbon reductions already, such as the 45Q credit in the USA. Companies can outsource their reductions to CCS companies such as Heimdal. See e.g. https://www.cnet.com/news/google-facebook-stripe-have-a-925m...

I wonder why Google Pay isn’t a household name?

Maybe because it’s the same company that announced three messaging apps the same year and has the attention span of Dory.
I believe in the long tail, but I am unsure if it can be catered for by a company like Netflix. Youtube serves it well, but imagine if Netflix produced a drama about systemd? Would you not watch it? I would.
They absolutely could, but doing so would be a pointless waste of nontrivial resources.
I do think we underestimate compressionism[1] especially in the practically achievable limit.

Sequence prediction is closely related to optimal compression, and both basically require the system to model the ever wider context of the "data generation process" in ever finer detail. In the limit this process has to start computing some close enough approximation of the largest data-generating domains known to us - history, societies and persons, discourse and ideas, perhaps even some shadow of our physical reality.

In the practical limit it should boil down to exquisite modeling of the person prompting the AI to do X given the minimum amount of data possible. Perhaps even that X you had in mind when you wrote your comment.

And where are all the valuable files stored like family pictures, other browsers’ cache, ssh keys etc.? In the same user’s home dir, so in practice most desktop apps do have uncontrolled access to everything on the harddrive as per the now quite old xkcd comic ( https://xkcd.com/1200/ ).

Ideally, a “shadow” Download folder would be accessible to the process, and its content would be mirrored one-way into the real Downloads folder. Upload should display a file chooser dialog which runs in an entirely different process, and the chosen files should be in effect copied to the process’s file handles list.
Kinda, but if I'm not mistaken, a military intervention can be declared necessary in cases of genocide, for example. It's not clear whether WMDs would count, but that was Bush's case for the invasion of Iraq.
Is it safe to say that Bitcoin failed?
> Any de-peg for a stablecoin like Tether is a bad sign.

Except there have been equivalent (or worse) dips for tether in 2016, 2017, 2018, 2019 and 2020 and they weren’t the harbinger of doom for tether either.

I’m not saying that tether won’t fail, just that its recent fluctuations and ‘de-peg’ is not the same as terra (tether is basically back to normal now, terra far from it).
Having experienced this very thing, I can say: there's a good chance the other guys had already made their app in some form long before this guy did. Don't worry, bro: everyone has had a cool idea (all of which are very cheap -- ideas, that is) and then seen someone else doing it later. The good news is this though: if you're dishonest and connected enough, you can still make your app succeed. Especially if it's worse than your competitors'. I have a strong suspicion that that's how it's usually done.
I didn't notice that author was a woman until I read this comment.

As a foster and adoptive parent, I have definitely gotten some comments when I play with those of my kids that look very different from me; I could feel the tension evaporate when one of them calls me "dad" and everyone realizes the relationship. Never had the police called on me either.

I did have a 12 year old daughter get stopped by a concerned adult while bicycling through a nearby neighborhood ("where are you going" "where are your parents" &c.). That turned her off from bicycling ever since.
A while ago I was doing a review of youtuber merch sites to get an idea of the shipping charges to my corner of the world. The PewDiePie merch site requires you to enter an address and email before you can see shipping prices. It's on the same page as the quote generation but the form isn't submitted and an account isn't created. I didn't go any further than looking at the total price before leaving, then I got an email minutes after I closed the tab with a discount code.
Could you share an example in a sentence? I'm having a difficult time seeing this as hate speech as written.

I do have to agree that Twitter is either (1) basically perfected or (2) coasting.

I also might suggest that the buyout offer has prompted some very hard thinking internally and strategic changes.

Correct. The smart inbox puts in ads. As in the YouTube example here, it's fairly unpredictable if they appear, and when they do - how they appear.
If the taxes are not the obvious hyperbole of 1M/day, there are equilibrium options which result in the scenarios I laid out - and even accepting that ridiculous premise, there is the escape hatch for giving it the federal government the day-of, who obviously don't care about paying taxes to themselves.

The point is that there are logical paths where even punitive (or intentionally ridiculous) levels of vacancy taxes result in a decrease in real prices.
I have two:

"Step 1: Stay calm"

and,

The first helps me address problems and move forward to solutions. The second will hopefully lead to a better world, however small or large the impact.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sudden_infant_death_syndrome: “Evidence is not sufficient for the use of fans (https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/22753789/)”

That paper is from 2012, but I can’t find a newer paper that changes that. For example https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/27940805/, from 2016, doesn’t mention fans in its abstract.
It seems like the author is contributing the problem by avoiding a light confrontation and perpetuating the problem.

I think part of the solution is standing up to these kind of light idiocies.

If she had time, she should have just let them call the cops and been polite about wanting to just watch the kids.

I’d question whether American disfunctional democracy (sure you can vote, it just doesn’t make any difference) and terrible human rights record (denying human rights thanks to religious extremists, world’s highest percentage of population in jails, common and unpunished police murders) are really that much better compared to China.
You cannot just spend your way into making higher quality artistic output. You can spend money to get from a $100,000 60-second commercial to a ~$1,000,000 60-second commercial and the difference in output will be immediately visible. But there's no way to achieve the highest levels of artistic achievement just by pumping more money in. It's like finding a jingle writer and telling him you'll give him a billion dollars to write a Beatles-quality album. He just won't be able to.
While build caching could help mask problems caused by poor modularity, such as the same source file being built multiple times in different subdirectories of a build, rather than just once, that's really not what its for.

It solves the toolchain problem that the toolchain doesn't remember that it's already built something before; if you give it the same inputs, it will compile them every time, taking the same time as before.

Caching lets you do a clean rebuild in a newly spun up environment with a new checkout of the source code, while saving time by re-using pieces that have not changed from another build (not necessarily identical to that one).

Yes, there could be less of a need for caching if incremental builds were rigorously reliable. Every instance of a CI server could then just update the same repository in-place with new commits, and run an incremental build. But caching would still help with that. For instance, if a commit happens to revert a file to a prior state, caching will pick up on that and pull out the prior object file for that.

When you use caching in a private repository where you have reliable incremental builds, you still see an improvement. For instance, when you throw away some experimental code, returning files to a prior state, and run a build, the object files just come blazing out of the cache.

When you do a "git bisect" to find a bug, same thing: the old commits build really fast.
Oops, I oversimplified that explanation. Add, "...and scaling it to have the same angular size". The image on each retina is indeed around the same size as before, only the object is now perceived as massive and distant by the brain.

The simple formulae I used only approximate the glasses and eyes as stacked thin lenses, so there'll be a bit of magnification in practice. I think this is the norm in optometry, though--apparently, the brain adapts with no issue to the mismatched peripheral vision when wearing glasses.

Hmm... Actually, I'm not sure whether practical optometry involves any calculation at all: As I understand it, the optometrist has you subjectively compare lenses that are positioned in the phoropter at the same distance to your eyes as those in your spectacles would be. So the required lens power is measured directly, without any maths.

Strangely, info on how a phoropter is used seems to be entirely missing from the web (i.e., search engines). There really isn't any pop-sci interest?
