This seems very likely that there was a flipped bit, considering the high-radiation environment Voyager 1 is in.

This happened to Voyager 2 not too long ago, where it was returning invalid and random data. Turns out, it was a bit flip [1].

You can’t just replace nouns and keep the same meaning, cos language doesn’t work that way.
We don't have a kangaroo court waiting for him. This sacrificial lamb has easy street waiting for his crimes compared to Navalny. Navalny still returned home without fear, and may lose his life for it. Yet his spirit, unlike Snowden's, will live forever and cannot be killed. That's a hero vs a coward. Navalny inspires me, an American.

Equating the US and Russian justice system is hilarious. We could kill any traitor, anywhere we so chose to kill one. He's safe and running from justice in Russia, but he's not safe from the blade. The government chooses to spare him. Never underestimate the long arm of Uncle Sam.

I for one, think it's best that his true character is revealed through his self-imposed exile. He's too selfish to come home and bring attention to his cause. He's all about himself, and he hasn't suffered a lick, yet. He has spent a lot of time running though. And don't call him that. He's not American.

Benedict Arnold died in England, hated by both the Americans and English. Even the British who benefitted from him didn't respect a man who would betray his own people.

He died a traitor's death just as Snowden will.
I'm a couple hours into my first "real" playthrough and highly recommend this vanilla modding guide:

https://github.com/Sigourn/nerevarrising

It's basically vanilla plus. Not only did I have a fun following the guide, I feel like I'm getting a very authentic experience. One day I'll experiment more with OpenMW (especially once it reaches modding parity), but for today I'm enjoying the real thing.
Whether or not you think NFTs are stupid and totally worthless, there's a fairly extensive economy based around fine art NFTs where collectors (who view them more as consumption goods than investments) buy and sell in ETH. And despite wild fluctuations in ETH<>USD, people's mental accounting is generally denominated in ETH.
It seems to mimic exercise, too. Not just fasting.

Metformin has numerous other effects: it reduces carbohydrate absorption in the gut, changes the gut microbiome, increases insulin sensitivity, reduces the liver's conversion of proteins to glucose, changes the way proteins accumulate in the brain (thereby making dementia less likely), etc.

When you're on metformin you can feel the physiological stress. It's like a mild attack on your whole body, a persistent slight discomfort. It's like a very mild poison.
Cloud application development consulting in Professional Services - “application modernization”
you are more than welcome to invest in any other fund or directly in any other stock.
True. It's more like a step before k8s. Same pod concept but no HA. More like docker-compose or swarm
IANAL. When an entity takes customer deposits it gets hyper regulated, a notch or two below commercial bank. These apps circumvent those regulations by accepting deposits in crypto.

Regulators are are also in bit of a spot because it's an entirely new beast. For most of the current use case crypto acts like unregistered security but in in some minor way it's also a currency. So regulators are biding their time because coming down with a heavy hand will attract a bad rep as big hedge funds are also getting into crypto.

Also, IMO current legal codes aren't good enough to tackle crypto at the moment, see this[1] for example. It's an active area of legal research so will take time to crystallise.

So these apps are slipping through this regulatory crack. Do they deserve to go to jail? I'm not so sure. But they do know what they are doing.

It does if the analogy holds. Both have no positive attributes, only negative attributes.
That's more like it! Just wasn't my (very limited) experience. Thanks.
Not sure (it's been a long time) but I think that a figure like that (a square 200 miles on a side) arose long ago based on a constant insolation (so, spread around the world, not one location) and 100% capture(??). (For world electricity use only, based on usage at that time.)
Do you only take advice from people who never make mistakes?

>Crypto cannot create wealth, only move it around. If too many people become crypto-rich...

Not really understanding this. If crypto is just moving wealth around, then how can "too many" people become crypto-rich?
So, in conclusion:
1-okrs should not be used to evaluate staff or be scored for pay raise decision. Oops, seems like some people still do that.

2-individuals should not be defining okrs at their level. I don’t see many people doing this anymore… even Google came out and advised against this practice as it leads to a lack of collaboration. And okrs end up looking like personal goals such as “buy house in Mountain View”

3-okrs should not be a to-do list, but looks like many, if not most, teams who think they are doing “okrs” simply make a to-do list and call it “okrs” which is ironic since okrs are about outcomes not output.

4-Okrs work best when leadership stops saying just “be innovative” and instead says “successfully expand the ecosystem of product ABC”
Then describes why that objective is important and why now to educate and motivate the company. And then gets input to solicit how we will agree on what measurable progress will define the achievement of the objective so we all know what the goals are for the short term. But okrs do not work when krs look like “reduce the backlog” or “fix bugs” as those are not actually “krs” they are “to-do lists”

5- last point, and most importantly… okrs is a “verb”, a way of asking questions. You are doing okrs when you are asking yourself and others include the following questions:

A-what is the most important area to focus on making progress in near term? Why?
B-how will measure progress on the objective?
C-what is the intended outcome of the task (because people will answer question B with a task list)

If you ask these questions of yourself and others, good things happen. If you use okrs to make a to-do list or evaluate performance of staff, you will end up complaining that okrs don’t work. Your choice.
OpenMW is amazing. I can play Morrowind in 4k on my Linux machine.
You seem to assume an increase in the future.

It boomed and busted in 2017. Then wasn't going anywhere for years until central banks generated massive liquidity and all assets jumped (because cash went to zero and pushed everyone out on the risk curve). That's direct cause and effect.

Given the liquidity is being taken away, what is going to save the day for Crypto next? What would cause it to recover to previous highs? I don't think recovery is predestined.

Anyway, what is to say bitcoin shouldn't be $10,000? Or $1000? Or $1?

Duh, it's the realistic and adopted use-cases!
Cathie Wood has said she expects ARKK to get 50% annual returns[0] despite being down 57% YTD and over 30% since she made the statement (more than BTC). Pointing to what "others" have said as some type of broad argument about an underlying security doesn't make sense. There are charlatans everywhere.

This style argument is the exact opposite of "putting your money where your mouth is".

If he really believes BTC has no future, why wouldn't he invest in alternatives?
> Where you might be disappointed is if you like "extra mature" British cheddar,

For cheddar specifically, yes, I'd hesitate to buy anything younger, and if I had to I'd only use it in cooking.

Maybe that partly explains my experience/surprise, but a sibling comment shows photos which though not close-up seem much more like what I 'expected', or rather was surprised to notice an apparent lack of.
> A lot of crypto is definitely bullshit, but you’d be an idiot to ignore the realistic and adopted use-cases.

If crypto was self-regulating to disincentivize said bullshit, then it wouldn't be an issue.

Instead, the bullshit is a feature, not a bug, and thus overshadows any legit use cases of crypto by association.
You can proof that a digital file existed at a given time and hasn't been altered since.

Measure what matters is a sales book attempting to convince leaders to implement okrs.

It offers no value to anyone trying to actually deploy okrs in a given organization or team.

> If crypto goes down in value to ten percent, or one percent of its current value, will people who believe in it admit it was a grift?

The value proposition of decentralized cryptocurrency remains the same whether the value is $62k or $0.62.
Yeah, I’m currently a big bgfx fan.

I think not dropping support for certain specs is what killed OpenGL. 2/3s of it is bloat to support old immediate mode or older hardware.

A PureGL focused on buffers and shaders. Which is what Metal, Vulkan, DX12 is all about now.

SPIR-V might help standardize the shaders under the HLSL syntax but that’s a whole other mess.
Normally if the policy outcome you wish for is for X to be non-existent, then it would be more precise and explicit to say "we should ban X". The word regulate implies to some degree that we want X to exist, just in a way that is more constrained for better outcomes. Think about the mechanical meaning of the word regulate. To try to ban something under the guise of regulation makes it seem like you are wishing for a bad-faith effort to use regulation to make something fail rather than function.
I don't mind admitting Google employs people far smarter than I will ever be, but they're creating and maintaining the largest global spying apparatus in history. Maybe we should be learning from people who're actually making the world a better place.

Sorry, yes, I was replying to the post about depthwise convolution and that’s what I meant (though the naming of it is poor) - i.e. the special case of group convolutions where the number of groups is equal to the number of channels.
"you’d be an idiot to ignore the realistic and adopted use-cases"

Which are really what?
Every time I read about these probes I think about how many of the current team were probably born years after they were launched.
I wonder if Google has the same limitation. I use that functionality quite often but I do it over the aux input.
Smart contracts, DAOs, payments, self-sovereign identity, tokenization of real world assets, a few security use-cases, operating markets for prediction and asset-trade outside the control of external authorities (libertarian wet dream stuff), insurance and legal arbitration outside of the control of external authorities (more wet dreaming, but it’s happening), supply chain / provenance of assets…

All of these could probably be done using a database, but it’s more about the trust aspect than the mechanics of storing data.

Crypto will succeed because the rich among us want it to. Crypto will succeed because the corrupt among us want it to.
Crypto will succeed because the libertarians among us want it to.
Crypto will succeed because it makes exit a reality.

How big of a success will it be? We’ll see.
Honestly, I thought that was the joke (see the twitter algorithm[0]). That there actually aren't much insights from Google regular software engineers could relate to. As other comments have said, Google is the company who can afford to fuck up the most.

I dread corporate kool aid, it's gut wrenching to me to hear how much people are motivated to be productive when you know the real sense of defeat that resides in a lot of companies, especially the largest ones...

Around 30 years old I realized that it was the people I worked with and their personality, sense of humor, real conversations, and dedication to growing and solving problems was the best aspect of going in to work, not the sht written in company manuals and useless words in all hands meetings, or even that our Billionaire CEO went to Harvard.

When I leave a job, I've kept the good friends, even hired some of them. All the company gave me was a t-shirt and a mug full of kool aid that most times I didn't really care to hold onto. They want you to believe a company is a living being or a vibe, it's simply not.... They often change in name and branding just to avoid liability, so you don't need to look to a company for fulfillment, it comes by heavily inserting humanity into every aspect of the work... If the humanity is missing, I recommend saving money and moving to a new place where it does reside.

What makes you think any chip would be harmful to ingest? You could happily eat most chips, if they were small enough, without any negative effects.
Nah, USD is still king there.
This so obvious. Aliens figured it out and are spoofing Voyager transmissions.
Disagree. You’re being too short-sighted.
See reply.
We've been able to do this for decades. It's a core part of our PKI ecosystem.
So what's your solution? Stop building dams and decommission the ones that have been built? Humans attempt to create order. The universe naturally wants to increase disorder. It's natural that anything we create will need to be monitored.
The sibling comment gets everything right.

I want to add one…

- there are at least 12 people that could absolutely destroy BTC in a variety of ways. Elon, some developers, some mining coop, whatever whoever, it’s not impossible. For example, what do you think would happen if the original Satoahi coins started to get used? Look how many / how much is there, it would be pandemonium. It’s a weak system that people want to trust, but there are no guns backing it up.
Those warnings are a result of an initiative petition. An initiative petition can do anything. It doesn't have to make sense and the legislative government thereafter has relatively little power to fix it.
I thought we had come to the understanding that “probing” the killer, I.e. giving them, and not the victims, a lot of press, naming them, publishing their image, their ideas, etc. only encouraged other would be mass murderers.
I have no idea whether they’re right or not, but one thing that I think would be nice with search results is a way to sort them. They’re given to you in a specific order and that’s all you get. For general search, it probably can’t be implemented in a sensible way, but try sorting things on Amazon by brand or price or review rating, or whatever. If there’s a way, I haven’t found it.

If I’m searching for songs on a music service, I may be interested in sorting by band, by album, chronologically by release, alphabetically by song name, by band member name, etc. (and that is usually possible). Likewise with video, film, books, etc., I want similar capabilities, but am not usually able to find them. So many search engines just leave out this ability. It’s quite frustrating.
That smells an awful lot like arithmetic coding. Is it just a reformulation (genuinely curious)?

It makes me sad to hear this kind of argument. While i agree with the idea that a job shouldn't define someone, to completely write off 40 hours a week (arguably our most productive hours) as simply selling your time without taking pride and joy in that time sounds like a pretty bad deal to me, but it makes sense that anyone that has that perspective would consider anyone that happily works for others as a "happy go lucky robot". I hope that you either start your own endeavor that others may one day be "happy go lucky robots" for or that you find a job that you find real pride and joy in the part you play.

Maybe 10 years ago when they were pushing the envelope. Nowadays, I just don’t see it to be honest. There are a few brilliant engineers for sure, but the new generation are mostly Leetcoders that brag about TC on another social network. You can see it in their open source code too. Critical bugs not fixed for an entire year. You read the code and it doesn’t stand out as anything out of the ordinary. I get the feeling most are focused on promotion packages to raise their TC.

If you read what the majority of them recommend, its similar to the banker's path in the early 2000s. Graduate from Ivy League, spent 3 years at FANG, then 2 years at Ivy League MBA, then back to FANG or join a startup for a few years so you can get a title bump when you do go back to FANG. The type of people that join Google nowadays aren't the type of people that were early employees. They have a very standard charted course to their careers.

Google has reach maturity stage of the company. They have leeway to screw up like what Microsoft did with Windows and Office in the early 2000s. Will they have the ability to push out something completely new and amazing like Gmail or Google Maps (although Maps was a clone of Mapquest, they executed better), where the end users aren't developers themselves? I highly doubt it with an organization as big. There will be a lot of politics involved to get anything done. They have lost the talent to innovate.
Like things are quite partisan at the moment in the congress. You don't want dead lock, but you do want things to be somewhat difficult to change other wise you will get lots of policy, regulatory and even legal whiplash. If things change too often it could even be worse. Ideally there is some middle ground between deadlock and whip lash. Constant flux is worse than dead lock. It's even why a lot laws regarding regulation, policy ect.. have a date they became effective so people can prepare.
It almost sounds like a carnival or arcade where you can buy tokens and gamble them to try and win tickets. I wonder if that’s a potential defense.
Is it just me, or the description doesn't explain its purpose well enough?
Yes - ICs have tasks, not okrs. The tasks can be intended to impact a higher-level kr which defines progress of an O and that O MUST be connected the strategy of the company or it is a crap/BS O.
Everybody will have everything. You draw down local batteries first, pull from transmission lines, convert from your long-term tankage, according to what your AI decides. Transmission line power costs money, drawing down your batteries causes wear, long-term storage has lower round-trip efficiency, yada yada.

I'm not aware of any serious supply chain or asset provenance efforts that rely on cryptocurrencies or DeFi. Lots of serious work uses Merkle constructions, but it would be a remarkable distortion to spin something like Certificate Transparency as a form of DeFi.
Surely, but PKI still relies on cert authorities which have been compromised before
Not to mention the preprogrammed (memorized) series of follow up moves to the move you just made. This basically throws unpredictability in an otherwise predictable set of moves. If I’m thinking of taking your queen, and that action requires me to setup no more than 4 moves to do it, how can I be sure a giant f$&@ duck doesn’t ruin my plans? Brilliant way to keep the game fresh and “in the moment”

Distributing it gives freedom of choice. No need to nominate a blessed CA that everyone has to use.

It's fine for anyone to mine cheesecoin. Probably better for this specific trade group in fact, if nonmembers decide to use this same blockchain for their cheese as well! Customers can still check if they are buying DOP specifically vs. 150mi-local worker coop biodynamic or whatever. The more widely used this system is, the more wholesalers, merchants, and consumers will learn of it and use it, and the harder it will be for fraudsters to pass off their goods as the Genuine Article.

Who's going to run the CA? Who's going to pay for it? Can you get all the customers to add the CA's public key to their trusted list? Will all the producers and merchants agree as well? The producers are the easy part, they are the ones coming up with this plan. Everyone else in the cheese economy: that could be harder. It's not just verifying the "this cheese was made by X" claim, also at every step of distribution you have to update the log "this cheese was sold to Y" and get that signed too, so all the distributors and merchants need to get certificates and learn how to apply the secret keys to cheeselogs. Using a blockchain also requires some crypto-effort, but it requires participants to agree on fewer things, gives the participants more freedom of choice. I could imagine someone proposing the centralized version you suggest, but apparently this particular group think it is better to do it in decentralized fashion and I can definitely see some advantages to that.
