> You can copy-and-paste math.

Someone mentioned that you can theoretically copy-and-paste KaTeX output in an earlier thread about GitHub's new math rendering too. But I think calling that an "advantage" is crazy.

LaTeX will transform your one-dimensional textual formula specification into a two-dimensional graphical formula. The concept of copying and pasting the output as text is a category error. It isn't text and if you try to paste it, you'll get something other than what you wanted.

Just to be sure I'm not crazy, I tried copying the output of the demo on the KaTeX homepage. Here it is:

> f(x)=∫−∞∞f^(ξ) e2πiξx dξ

This is much, much, much worse, if you want a textual representation, than copying the LaTeX source:

\f\relax{x} = \int_{-\infty}^\infty
\f\hat\xi\,e^{2 \pi i \xi x}
\,d\xi

And it's worse even though the raw source includes the quirk that LaTeX isn't able to provide proper spacing for the differential over which an integral is being calculated, so you have to space it yourself with \, commands.
as I've grown older, I've started redefining my idea of "success" and "achievement".

To me, achievement is anything that you genuinely had to work hard towards, make sacrifices for, and overcome your own prejudices and biases.

Making XZY money every year can be an achievement if making money is simply not something that comes naturally to you, or something that you grew up understanding anything about. If you grew up in a business-focused environment where you were taught about money (and how to make it), you'd have an arguably easier time making money than someone who grew up with deadbeat parents, addicts, or a family that never understood money or careers.

At a personal level, my biggest achievement has been my ability to build a loving family and healthy relationships. These don't come naturally to me. I've had to overcome so many bad habits, biases, beliefs and sheer genetic inertia to get to that point. It's my proudest achievement and I'll value it more than any business I create or book I write.
This is a constant chicken-and-egg problem. Why would there be much foot traffic if pedestrians perceive that the local government thinks so little of them that it won't put down paint to remind the giant high-speed metal boxes not to kill them?
It has a pointing stick!! Heck yeah!
Archlinux has the best wiki, followed by Gentoo. Honestly, though, they're all so similar that it makes no difference as long as you know where to find the docs for your distro's packaging system. This is not only true today, it was true when I got started 20 years ago as a dumb kid. The differences are almost all very superficial.

If you just want a Linux social experience, maybe join your local LUG?
Let's do some back of the envelope calculations. We are almost 50 millions in Argentina, and excluding the people that is too young or too old or has a job that avoid taxes, let's assume only 15 millions have a credit card. Most of us have only one or two credit card (Visa & Amex or Master so they have a disjoint BIN).

The biggest bank is the National Bank, that has like a 30% of the share of deposits https://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bancos_de_Argentina I couldn't find the number of clients of each bank, but let's assume a 5% of share for each of the big banks, that's like 1 million each.

The 9 free digits for each bank, i.e. 10^9 possibilities and only 1^6 clients, so only 1/1000 of the numbers are valid. I think he didn't change the check digit, but he increased some digits, so it's somewhat like sampling only in the subset of numbers with a correct check digit. If you don't ask your nearby mathematician that says that multiplying by 2 a number in a modulo 10 check, you can estimate that with his method he sampled numbers with 10x more probability and only 1/100 of the numbers were valid. It's in the bruteforce range, but perhaps too low for a manual data entry.

Assuming each bank use the first 2 digits of their 9 digits for the branch (one in each capital city of each province, but some provinces have many big enough cities, and some cities here are huge, perhaps I need 3 digits...). Anyway, there are 2 fixed digits for the branch and 7 for the number of client. If not all branches have the same number of clients, and some of them don't even exits (if they have like branches 97-98-99 that are reserved for future use), then it makes it easy to guess a number if he noticed that BIN+branch is fixed because he is looking at the card of the clients near his business. I'd estimate x5 or x10 easier, but my handwaving is not strong enough to give a good justification.

So, with a lot of estimations, in ¿1/10? of his attempts he got a real card number.

About the CVC2, my guess is that he used a random number, the server noticed something strange and reported it silently, but the article is very light in details.

Weirdly, we were just planning our route to Minehead and added Stone Henge and Avebury as points (me and the kids have never been) and then this popped up!
Surely that is the best definition possible?

Defining is what humans do.

To ask for a better definition of “defining” seems like a dead end question.

Perhaps asking why humans do what they do yields better answers?
This.

At this point: Why does even Windows 10 exist? Does anybody know any application, that couldn't run on Windows 7 if it wasn't the "we deliberately won't support new CPUs to force people to Win10" from Microsoft? What are the critical, structural problems in Win 7 that couldn't be patched and mandated Win 10?
Sorry for my bitterness, I just think Win 7 was peak usability. I never saw technical reasons for change afterwards, only forced political ones.

Yeah, good point! I hadn't thought about that until you mentioned it but totally agree. I'd suggest something like `num_enabled_bits` or `enabled_bits_count` might have made things a bit clearer?
The first Motorola Defy was a comparable device to its competitors when it was released, and its big feature, being water-resistant, didn't make any compromises apart from rubber caps on the ports (not necessary in modern phones) and a better back cover with a manual latch.

Sealing phones isn't needed at all. It's a decision driven by the market makers.
Online, sure. That’s the whole point of it. The post I replied to implied it went further than that.
Gotta admit, that’s a cool looking repair kit. Meanwhile hole in the wall repair shops just use a hair dryer, razor, and putty knife.
The reasons why a national legislature enact a law that brings forth a program like this are complex and multifaceted. It's completely possible that slow-tourism generated by these tickets will greatly benefit small towns who otherwise might not garner the interest of foreign capital.

Well, it triggers an ACPI event, that is pretty close to hardware.

And it's handy to not ignore the power button. What Apple does is just waiting to trigger the ACPI event unless you press it for half a second or so.
I really don’t see the problem here - why wouldn’t you want to use the correct tools to repair your iPhone?
This is a good opportunity to suss out which of your "anti-imperialist" friends are anti-imperialist, and which are actually just anti-US-imperialist. Look for signs of denying Ukrainians agency over their country's future and 19-th century law of the jungle logic (wait what happened to high minded ideals like decolonization and self-determination? Do those only apply when the West is/was in the wrong?).
Depending on your environment, this will make the fan last longer by preventing dust from getting to the motor.

I’m not so sure it’s “at least as good” as sophisticated autocorrect. If you have a sufficiently advanced prediction model, it seems to me that you could make better guesses on context, which might, just by chance, outperform this approach. If you narrowed it down to only words that matches using this approach, but still used some kind of prediction based on context to pick which, I’d expect it to likely perform much better.
You might like the book "4000 Weeks: Time Management for Mortals." It's about this precise idea of valuing idleness (there's no quick way to change that mindset, it's a process).
Unfortunately I have 3 types of tinnitus: caused by hearing loss, caused by neck muscles, caused by too much stimulus (stress, a long drive, too much caffeine, and so on).

Hearing loss can not be healed but the other two types always go away after good sleep.

If you got tinnitus it is good to figure out if there is a cause that can be taken away. Sometimes you are in luck and a good deep sleep can improve things.

> On the other maybe they still need to design their new phones to be easier to repair and this is a temporary measure?

Doubtful. Yes, they could be easier to repair and it's kind of a pain in the ass, but you can buy all the tools required to fix an iPhone 13/13 Pro battery from iFixIt for less than $100, although the tools are not as advanced as the ones Apple provides.

Also, if Apple benefits from this being a ridiculous process, which they do, there is probably no intention of making this easier. This reminds me of the iPhone battery and slowdown "scandal", there may have been good intentions at first, but then realized that it would benefit them to not tell the user what was going on, encouraging entirely new purchases rather than simple battery replacements.

Apple seems to only take exploitative opportunities when it provides the cover of plausible deniability because then it's difficult to argue. CPU slow-down? We just wanted to make sure people's phones still worked with bad batteries, please ignore the fact that we didn't tell the user the battery was bad. Repairing yourself both twice as expensive and extremely inconvenient? We're just trying to do right by the user's right to repair and provide the tools that we ourselves use, please ignore the fact that we're still charging the exact same price for the battery alone, the cost of the tools only makes sense on our scale by reducing the number of times our Geniuses break phones during repair, and request 100% collateral for our tools before renting. Please don't look at rental car services, it's not the same. Our tools are important and advanced...that's why we need them back in 7 days, no extension.
What kind of stuff are you wanting to do? Special purpose robots are extremely common (and the ones more advanced than cheap 3D printers and CNC routers out of your price range unless you want to build it from scratch), general purpose are mostly out of your price range.
Time won’t flow back, but it was less than a decade ago that you replaced batteries by popping the phone’s back. I wouldn’t say Apple bears no blame in making 79 pound tools necessary to replace a battery.

And as they basically opened that path for every other maker to follow and point at Apple as a justification, we really shouldn’t give them a pass.
Thanks Benny, I appreciate you sharing it! Have an awesome time at Stone Henge and Avebury - I'm pretty jealous right now
Your point about butter gatherers being pressured by the encroachment of civilization is true. But in those situations, the rates of violent death are mostly in the 25-60% range, as was observed in many of the Native American societies during the colonial period. It's important to exclude these outliers due to the influence of encroaching civilizations. But even absent these outliers, and exclusively drawing on archaeological evidence, the rates of violence in hunter-gatheter societies is drastically higher [1].

>I was under the impression that outside toy problems, you can't really get decent results unless you have a TPU or fleet of GPU's for training.

This is most certainly not the case. It's impossible to achieve SOTA on most benchmarks but there's a lot more ML and data analysis done on smaller datasets where you don't particularly need a fleet of GPUs.

I think the filters used are designed to filter high volumes of air moving at a relatively low speed - think about how they fit in a home central air system, they’re at the very end of the system before the fan and they have an entire house of ductwork between the blower and them.

Having built one, I don’t see any way the filter stands up to a box fan at high from 12” away. The filters are just media reinforced by cardboard.

I have never understood this kind of compliance. The hordes that buy their disposable garbage aren't going to care, they've shown repeatedly that they're insensitive to, sometimes even aggressive towards their own autonomy. So why do this? Just to _waste_ more?

It's so petulant.
The only way I can imagine someone on the "left" having a reaction against NATO and Western imperialism (your term) is if they have an ax to grind ... probably more with regard to Western imperialism than NATO? (Probably with specific regard to the U.S. and Iraq.)

This goes for Chomsky as well.
I have had periodic tinnitus in my left ear for maybe 10 years and I'm 55. I would say that it "comes and goes" after sleeping. Rarely have I noted it going away or coming back while I'm awake.

I have some high frequency hearing loss in this ear, probably due to using noisy machinery in my 20s without proper hearing protection. Anytime I do loud things nowadays, I wear hearing protection.

I have noticed my tinnitus seems less frequent if I stay properly hydrated. I have a tendency to forget to drink water and making a point of it seems to help.

100% agree. Like I said below, it's a litmus test of who is truly on the side of the oppressed.

There's also a significant % of the so-called "left" which has inherited from the dark and vile Stalinist past some sort of bizarre Russophilism. A kind of binary thinking that divides the world into "imperialist western bloc" and "anti-imperialist bloc" [that somehow Russia and even Iran and Assad's Syria are a part of]. Idiots like George Galloway are parroting lines like this.
But people still believe in democracy, separation of power, justice and enjoy the propaganda circus served to them everyday by a so called independent media.

I read it as stating that one can travel through opinions, ie politics are a spectrum.
And for that matter frequencies and other specs have generally moved beyond the scopes and logic analyzers that individuals are likely to be able to afford to debug problems (though they've gotten cheaper as well).

I certainly support right to repair and voted for it in my state (both times as Tesla in particular tried to do an end around) and strongly oppose artificial barriers like DRM. But honestly I find framing this around a less than $100 repair by Apple (or a third party) maybe every 3 or 4 years seems to me like an odd hill to die on.
I've been collecting interviews and discussions of intellectuals who seem, to me, thinking about this deeper and better.

I have an excel template for handling a relatively large amount of data. No where 15GB on one sheet. I use it for preprocessing experimental data from a single experiment. There are about 10 chart tabs build in so I can visually inspect the data looking for errors (and go back and inspect the raw instrument data when something looks off).

The aggregate data is around 1.5 million experimental results. MiniTab is too unwieldy and requires too much manual reformatting of the data sheets.

Is this something I should be looking at in R or project Jupyter? Does one make better visualizations than the other?
Meanwhile I have a stack of 6-7 old broken laptops that are unlikely to be repairable.

Did they conveniently forget to say that Apple will give you a further refund in you return the replaced part? Ah, yes, they did. In the case of the battery for iPhone 13 mini described in the article, that's an additional refund of $24.15.

Since I've never heard of anyone getting back the broken part when getting an in-store repair, it'd be reasonable to compare at the $44.85 price, wouldn't it?
There’s also a PR aspect to this in showing that 80 lbs worth of expensive equipment is the only way to replace batteries safely.
After a good night's sleep, your blood pressure also goes down. I've been monitoring my blood pressure for a few months and I've noticed that my tinnitus gets better or worse depending on how high my blood pressure is.
Interesting tidbit about Avebury that I covered a few weeks back, in case you (or our wife) are interested:

Non-descript stones found at Avebury Henge were carried by humans from 280 miles away. Interestingly, these specific stones have only been found at one site. Why the people of this time would take pebbles on their journey is a mystery. Perhaps they simply wanted to bring a piece of home with them, but regardless of why, this discovery speaks to interconnectedness and the amount of travel taking place in ancient times.

> Most western people don't think like this any more, but it used to be understood and accepted that belonging to a family or community is rewarding, but it comes with duties and obligations

I think you’ve hit the nail square on the head here: this is perhaps the thing that bothers me most about life in the US.. no sense of community, belonging, etc.

I’ve been chronically lonely for pretty much all of my 46 years. I don’t see any communities or families I’d be OK with joining, contributing to, or even leaning on for support. Everyone is so selfish it turns my stomach, doubly so as I know I’m as guilty as anyone for being selfish.
Especially since this approach has already been tried and proven by competitors like GitLab.
Only pattern #5 had some merrit. There is no excuse for invading anywhere, period. Other than that, this article is an elegant, technically more detailed version of the US based propaganda around the war.

US/NATO/EU and Russia are just doing business uppon the deaths of ukrainians. Russia is clearly the most responsible for this, however, please, don't insult our intelligence by speaking of "democartic values" of the "free west". The west camp is equally rotten, it just has some nice make up on it's face and the only reason they are supporting ukraine is to make money, pretending they care for the devastated ukrainian people. They did not start the fire, but they are dumping tons of gas on it, because they benefit.
I've been using a box fan with a furnace filter strapped to the back for years to deal with cat litter dust. My vet recommended using air cleaners to help an asthmatic cat, this setup made a significant and immediate improvement.

I used to carry a spare battery with me and swap them in 10 seconds when the one in the phone died. Now I have to carry a much bulkier battery powered charger and USB cable that takes an hour to recharge the phone.
I think the EU is generally better at designing it’s regulations to avoid exactly this problem.

Probably something to the extend of “tools to repair must be found in any general DIY store”.

I completely agree with the conclusions, GitHub repositories can really be the focal point of scientific publishing in years to come.

I always wondered why it took so long to implement math. There are better implementations out there for sure, it's weird they waited for so long and implemented something that is below the standard of alternatives.

The next step is to render citations from .bib files. I hope they get that right in the future.

If anything looking foreign and speaking passing Arabic, even if peaceful situations, makes you stand out and get unwanted attention. I have a lot of experience with this bit. Haha
Totally. If you find people at work who enjoy chatting about these subjects, fine. But general broadcasting of controversial non-work topics should be off the table. And this really should be because employees have the social skills to set their own boundaries, not because the company has to make an official policy about it. Work is work.
