The other day on Reddit [1] there was a video of farm animals reacting to their names, but I think it's just responding to the "pet voice", or rather to their food provider vocalizing in their direction.

I don't think I agree with your statement:

> I don't think memers would focus on bitcoin mining funds. The memers focus on cryptocurrencies themselves, not on boring corporate miners.

For example, here's a post on r/WallStreetBets [1] trying to hype up RIOT and MARA, and I could find a dozen more just by googling. If you think meme stock frenzy won't take something because it's boring/old school, I have some shorts in a brick and mortar overpriced video game store I would like to sell you.

My personal impression from using Twitter for years is that the actual number may be twice as high, more like 40% than 20%. The researchers repeatedly say that they were very conservative in their estimates and only counted accounts that were extremely likely to be spam. "This methodology likely undercounts spam and fake accounts, but almost never includes false positives (i.e. claiming an account is fake when it isn’t)."

PROTIP: You can search Twitter by URL. Just search for a popular news article on Twitter, and you can see the massive number of obviously non-human accounts who are tweeting the article.
Increased energy prices absolutely impacts current hardware, especially given older hardware tends to be more energy intensive.
Thank you. (I wrote this three years ago.)

Short version: With MySQL, I can't simply backup or deploy a copy of WP by zipping up a folder full of files. The database has to be backed-up and deployed separately but in sync with the folder of files too. Moving to an architecture where the database are files inside that folder would simplify all of this.
That is my understanding. The property still belongs to the owners
Has Putin not seen the fate of Beria in the film "The Death Of Stalin"? How long will it take before the Red Army takes him out into the back yard and shoots him?

Many apps offer you your data if you want it. For example, Facebook. I think people overestimate how useful data is outside of the application that was tailor-made to handle the data in the precise format it's in.

I guess "Web3" (it pains me to even use that term) would allow another developer to reverse-engineer an application to digest the data as it exists on the blockchain, but... that seems like a pretty negligible improvement over the status quo with many very significant drawbacks. For starters, a Raspberry Pi has orders of magnitude better performance than the "Ethereum World Computer". To make that concession, I'd hope for a much better benefit.
>If something gets pushback from a lot of people who have spent a lot of time trying to coordinate large efforts, then it's worth considering that those people may be right.

It's one thing to consider it an approximation, it's another thing entirely to consider them "right" which is frequently followed with "so we won't investigate any further". Most of us don't live in situations where such decisions are actually critical. We can afford to criticize and experiment. Instead, this line of reasoning tends to be misused and shush any investigation.

>I don't know anyone who has spent a lot of time in one of these coordinating roles who thinks that the primary issue is too many meetings and not enough code being written.

And you don't think that group, much like others, may be a little self-reinforcing?
As a member of an open source community involved in one or more blockchain projects, I can attest that many of these things literally are indeed free.
I believe these issues will solve over time by moore's law. By the time Web3 will be mainstream viable we will all be able to run nodes on our mobile phones.
I don't think this post means as much as people are acting like it does.

The indicators of being a spambot they have in their post seem VERY iffy to me. "Not tweeting in the past 120 days", "Location set to a non resolving location", "Small number of followers", "default profile image", "No URL in bio or non-resolving URL in bio", "Not on many lists", "tweets in a different language than the person they're following" - Those all seem like extremely weak signals to me. My profile matches 6 of those, and I'm a human. I would like to see them hand-verify a subset of their results and see if their algorithm matches reality.

Also note that they define "active" differently than Twitter. They define "active" as having tweeted recently. Twitter gives spambot numbers as a percent of monetizable daily active users. I wonder if Twitter's given bot numbers are low because bots don't typically lurk or load ads. I can believe that the total bot count as a percentage of users or as a percentage of recently-tweeting-users is higher than 5%, but that only 5% of daily visitors seeing ads are bots.
NIMBYism wouldn’t be as much of a problem if the housing supply didn’t need to expand. Canada has about triple the immigration rate of the US, about 1% population growth each year. That population growth is concentrated in top metros as well (obviously — people immigrate to where the jobs are). This policy means that housing supply should also grow 1% per year which is appearing to be extremely difficult
This is so incredibly false, I've been working on a project for the last six months and MoM I've seen steady increase in usage. Tbh much much higher usage then I expected. Most users find my site via Google or Facebook however they are looking for content that's not in those silos and have no problems leaving them.

If you have high quality content and you get it indexed properly by Google, users will come.

There are reasons users are not using your website.

1. It's not solving a problem people have.

2. Users can't find it.

Who, in their right mind searches for search engines? Nobody I know.

If you want users you have to go out and get them (literally pound the pavement and talk to people) or create a LOT more content ironically, so they can find your site on the search engines they are using today.

Oh, do I have notes on their methodology.

1) They talk about "active" accounts (meaning have tweeted in the last 9 weeks), and do a bunch of filtering against that. That seems like a huge bias - lurkers exist, and in my experience are usually the majority of users...this step removes them or ignores them entirely. Frankly, until recently, my twitter account would have been one of the ones they would have discarded as inactive. This one thing alone makes me question all of the rest of their results.

2) By the same token, the rate or frequency with which a user sends tweets has no relation to whether a user is monetizable. If they're seeing ads, they're monetizable...lurkers are just as monetizable as high-volume posters.
I agree and the strategy makes sense for China.

Since it is now more or less endemic in the rest of the world it will be interesting to see how long they will maintain it.

Ultimately zero covid is a thing you do to buy time for your healthcare system or for better vaccination coverage (or just to kick the can, maybe you get better tech).

The 4 million deaths are inevitable unless you can maintain zero COVID forever or fundamentally change the situation for people who are very vulnerable to COVID-19.

Preventing healthcare systems from being overwhelmed is a big factor.

Otherwise you are just doing "accounting" to choose what year your excess deaths happen in, for political purposes.

All that said, I'd always take an extra year over dying right now.
Disagree. The assumption is that we can engineer better than natural selection. The weeds in my yard prove that natural selection always wins

so much of this thread is 'proof' that supports whatever elon musk is trying to do, but seems to not realize this is a totally independent actor making a dubious set of assumptions to come to a number.

Regardless of what people think about McDonalds, this is a very symbolic move. People in the west remember those 90s scenes on TV of McDonalds opening in Russia, and it was symbolic of Russia opening up and a new prosperous relationship with the west. I would not be surprised if the US government nudged McDonalds to exit swiftly and publicly like this because the optics are very clear: Russia is going backwards.
Why would a uniform sample of Twitter accounts be even remotely interesting? My Twitter experience consists of people I personally know. None of them are bots.

If you took a random sample of websites you'd find that 99.995% of them are spam. That's why we have to rank search results.
> Because starting with 0 is neither math nor array indexing in general.

It very, very much is. Polynomials all start at a zero "index", as does just about every expansion I can think of (Fourier, Bessel, Legendre, Chebyshev, Spherical Harmonic, etc.) Combinatorics, too, make lots of use of zero indices and zero-sized sets. As for arrays, I'll leave it to Dijkstra[1] to explain why zero indexing is most natural. Zero indexing overwhelmingly makes the most sense in both math and computers because indexing is a different operation than counting.

Almost all of the relevant code is in wp-content/db.php. It's using Wordpress's hook that lets you use custom code to connect to the database. The code is rewriting MySQL flavored SQL into SQLite flavored SQL which is impressive but potentially flaky. I'd want to see how well it handles SQL from popular plugins before I'd start building a website using this.
They'd definitely be kicked out at this point if push came to shove. No doubt about that. There's no value in a member who doesn't cooperate. Both Finland and Sweden are very much aligned with the rest of NATO and if member states object to them joining you basically set the precedent that one member state (that's not the US/UK) can hold the group hostage. There's no way that would be tolerated, regardless of the strategic importance of Turkey.

To your point, they won't say no anyway. All the speculation is, I think, just circus.
Sorry I don't have an answer, only more questions on this. I also read about this limitation. Perhaps it's more of a warranty issue and direct sunlight exposure merely reduces the lifespan by a few percent. Given that you have been using Waveshare displays a lot already, what are your observations on this? Is it really problematic?

I've been using an ancient ebook reader for reading recently, and contrast will be washed out to about 50% when exposed to sun while page flipping (until next refresh). However, I've been thinking this is due to the old age of the device.
> Universal login

You can have universal login with MetaMask, sure, but that functionality isn't reliant on a blockchain. It's decades-old public key cryptography.

> Ownership in communities.... The difference is that existing platforms don't let you build on those communities outside of their walled garden

But successful internet communities do everything in their power to remain walled gardens. What could they possibly have to gain by doing this? Like what would Reddit gain by moving Reddit Gold to the blockchain?

Indexes being configurable makes a ton of sense. It's why so many languages end up with a slice type (or array_view or span or whatever you want to call it). Why shouldn't the base array type just itself be the slice type?

I'm not sure I understand your question, genuinely. There are of course costs for the benefits that come with web3: protocols are slow to evolve, and infrastructure is less efficient when we require a distributed consensus. Anyone that thinks "Web 2" or centralized systems will disappear is silly, there will always be situations where the costs of web3 are greater than the benefits. On the other hand, it's equally silly to think that there are zero use cases where the benefits of web3 outweigh the costs. Both can and will coexist.

This feels like a tiny tiny edge case. How many developers simultaneously have the rights to an IP and have the game asset data and code, but also lack the ability to retrieve purchase data on that other game?
I had a similar experience with California prop 65 (requires business to add a label to products that contain carcinogens). The business itself was way more responsive than the government agency, nothing happened but it was surprising that even handed a trove of evidence & emails about a clear food safety violation they didn't really do anything. Well I guess not surprising haha.
As per the GDPR they _must_ respond within 30 days and cannot ask for a fee.

If they didn't, you can file a complaint for CCPA or GDPR violation.

A company of that size shouldn't be fucking around with GDPR deletion requests, they're not "nice to have" features. They're must-have-or-else features.

I doubt it, the Turks have been one of Ukraine’s strongest supporters, sending Bayraktar drones, closing their airspace to Russian flights, and closing the entrance to the Black Sea from the Mediterranean to Russian warships (all warships tbf). They’re no friend of Russia.

This appears to just be about Sweden and Finland’s support for the Kurds, some of who are in Iraq and some in Turkey. Turkey doesn’t want them forming a new and potentially hostile nation on its border, and doesn’t want any support for that from within NATO.

Unfortunately for the Kurds they’re probably about to get thrown under the bus, since Finland and Sweden are now more concerned about the much larger, aggressive, unstable, nuclear-armed rogue state on their own border.
Sure, immigrants initially rent. That puts a massive upward pressure on rents, which in turn increases housing value. It’s so easy to become a Canadian citizen that when these folks do buy they’re citizens in just a few years.

Human "race" is [false] is what I'd hoped to imply.

"Race" was misapplied to humans before the discovery of genes and is a pseudo-intellectual, pseudo-scientific excuse to authoritatively classify and separate people based only on shallow, false differences. It is eugenic in purpose.

Belief in blood purity is an old religion, and Jefferson cited that it took a fixed number of generations for the "blood to clear" after what some today would call "race mixing". Non-white "blood" was seen as an impurity, a taint.

An updated understanding accommodating modern genetics was readily applied to horse and dog breeding, but it seems the concept is too convenient to some to let go of when it comes to fellow humans.

No. If the Turks actually said "no," they wouldn't be making demands:

That is a legal nuisance. Operational control is with the government. Profits (if there are any) won't be paid out. Thus who is listed as owner doesn't matter for any practical purposes. It however allows to give back control in case the situation is cleared. But that doesn't seem likely, thus the company will slowly be dismantled.

It might be useful to separate the issues that are "just" bugs from the problems that come with Julia's unusual level of composability. I have no idea if Julia has more bog-standard, local bugs – things like data structure problems or compiler faults – than other languages of comparable maturity and resources, but clearly the OP has bumped into several, which is frustrating.

The composition bugs – as in offsetarrays or AD – are a bit of a special case. In most languages package A will only work with package B if it's specifically designed to, and the combination will be explicitly developed and tested. That A and B can work together by default in Julia is really cool, but it also means that as you add new types and packages, you have a quadratically growing set of untested edges.

The canonical solution is strict interfaces. But Julia is laissez faire about those too (with some good reasons). Together this means that if A doesn't work with B as expected, it's not always easy even to assign fault, and both might be reluctant to effectively special-case the other. Program transformations (autodiff) compound this problem, because the default is that you promise to support the universe, and it's not easy to opt out of the weird cases.

I think it's absolutely right to celebrate Julia's approach to composition. I also hope new research (in Julia or elsewhere) will help us figure out how to tame it a bit.
I assume you're in Calif based on the above? The ICO in the UK is usually pretty good if you report.
Could they actually do that if the “lease” contract expires? (if that is the correct term for a franchise).
That's exactly how I feel, except you're always running a risk. Somebody on the team might read the YAML standard and discover a bunch of cool features to use, and next thing you know, you have a lot of lines of YAML that are a razor's edge away from an edge case, and half the people on your team don't understand why. In your config files, no less, the last place you should have to devote scarce time and technical brainpower.

Any sufficiently powerful language has the same hazard. It's natural to want to know everything about the technology you use and want to use everything you know. It's how we expand our skills, and the sheer pleasure of it is why a lot of us got into programming in the first place. But not everybody considers the interests of their team and their coworkers when they choose outlets for that impulse. A single selfish person can run a C++ or Scala codebase clean off the rails.

It takes strong management to make sure the team has good collective boundaries and to crack down on people who go too far. Since senior developers are now largely left to manage themselves, you're at the mercy of the savant who knows 98% of the YAML standard to understand why they're being asked to only use it 70% of it, and to pay attention to the opinions of people who know less (about YAML) than them. Or you can just use JSON or TOML.
Applied Materials Outlines Next-Gen Tools for 3nm and GAA Transistor Era
Audiophiles, aka audio nerds, have always given me a chuckle in a good spirited way. The Ocean Way link is a great example. Just look at the image of that mix bay. The first one looks normal-ish with a left-front and right-front cluster and assumingly a matching center channel right in front of the console. Alongside that center channel is probably a few near field L/R pairs. So far, so good. Scroll down though, and we start to see the where the -phile takes over. The introduction of the side speakers are where the true geeky levels start oozing. You can see the side channels in pair of near field speakers as well as the rear surrounds in the very top of the image. However, it's the fact that there's now a bit of rigging brought in to fly a couple of speakers directly overhead. I'm also guessing there are more speakers on the rear wall that were not in the frame. I'm guessing it sounds pretty amazing, but no mere mortal can afford the home version of that making it well outside the acceptability of main stream. Hence the plight of DVD-Audio.

I am always amazed at the sound field imaging that can be created from some very well produced stereo. Just 2 n-way speakers, a good amp, and the mind of a great engineer.
