Europe also has had the two deadliest mass shootings of all time: Bataclan (2015, 130 deaths) and Oslo (2011, 77 deaths).

Nice! Perfect timing, then! Glad you're finding it useful! :)
I wish my parents had pushed me to practice piano. They subjected me to lessons for almost 2 years, and I didn't mind (although the 30 minute drive each way to the teacher's house sucked.) However, between lessons instead of practicing I would just fck off and improvise and try to teach myself popular songs instead of actually practicing, and I'm not talking about hours each day either, maybe more like a few minutes. Which meant it was all a collossal waste of time and money.

Parents sometimes need to push their kids.
I think there are three main reasons why:

- being open is kind of just how things in ML generally work right now, it's in stark contrast to things like chemistry or physics where paywalls are pretty common

- it's a matter of clout, ML is moving ridiculously quickly, with work from just 5 years ago being considered outdated in terms of capability, if you don't publish, someone else will and they'll get the credit. This likely also matters for the researchers since they get credit too. In a sense this is just publish or perish culture from academia.

- it's also somewhat about hiring, which is related to the clout. By putting out this kind of research, they're attracting talented engineers to consider working for them. This of course is pretty relevant to the rest of their business, especially given how heavily Google leans on AI to handle moderation.
Startup company?

Less related: there was this idle game where you had to absorb nodes was a CLI clicker type game. Had CPU count and you solved puzzles to get more... Was posted here can't remember the name.
This is an incredibly bad faith response which creates strawmen I never said.

You’re welcome not to own a gun if you feel like that would be a better choice for you and/or your family. Nobody is making you.

What I’m saying is that you don’t have a right to take guns away from other people because you find them scary — even if that is occasionally abused, leading to tragedy. People have a right to defend themselves.

> A worthy trade-off for being able to defend yourself and keep the government from issuing lockdowns.

Over 100,000,000 people died to democide in the past century — around 70 times the current US murder rate for 100 years. (That is, 7000 years of the current US murder-with-guns rate.)

Guns also protected Black Panthers, Afghani insurrectionists, and Ukrainian militias.

I’m sorry that the world isn’t as friendly and happy as you would prefer it — I find that disquieting too.
Great, thank you for the clarification!
Einstein’s 3 Most Efficient Habits That Helped Him Tap into His Inner Genius
Are drugs a serious factor in the US? In the case of this shooter, his mother was struggling with drugs, had a fraught relationship with the son and the grandmother was pushing them out. Growing up amongst that would build a lot of anger in someone.
Rejection sampling doesn’t need sin/cos.

What costs more, generating a random number and maybe a second or a random number and a sin/cos? This sounds very platform dependent.

Note that when generating random points in the 4-ball (i.e. a quaternion)? The ball takes up a much smaller percentage of the space in the hypercube compared to the disk in a square, so rejections sampling can take many iterations.
Currently facing issues with this. I'm having to ask for more permissions than I need. For instance, to access:

read:org

(need this to list all repos of an org user is in/has created), I need the-

admin:org

scope which gives me access to, "fully manage the organization and its teams, projects, and memberships."

So yes, definitely not fine-grained permissions I'd say. Useful in recklessly adding more features just because you have access to more data tho haha.
...and their site says "We're Hiring"
nice, thinking if could generate more variants other than dot line...
This is the correct interpretation. All those high salaries are high to cover high standards of living and high prices.
> Or maybe it isn’t. No one knows.

Or maybe it is. Maybe someone knows.
These fines are meaningless and just looked at by the company as the cost of doing business.

So I think you are referring to the notch on the side of the disk. If it was present the disk was writable, if not then read only.

It was common to write-protect a disk using a small sticky label, folded over the notch. From memory, disks came with these labels.

We also found out you could add a notch on the other side, and use the disk upside down (ie as a second disk) thus doubling the storage value of each disk. All magazine materials explained why this was a bad idea, lead to data corruption etc, but it worked well and so we ignored the warnings.

This became so popular that I remember owning a punch literally made for this exact purpose. It positioned the disk in the right place and cut a perfect square notch. So this practice was wide-spread enough that someone actually designed and produced a tool to do it.

But yeah, in the early days, we used scissors (very carefully).

Pre-2008 DC vs Heller, the standing law of the land was that the 2nd amendment did not provide an individual right to purchase or own firearms. So it is entirely possible that a future Supreme Court, given an adequate case, will overturn DC vs Heller and allow states and the federal government to go back to heavily restricting and licensing gun ownership outside of the context of state-sponsored militias and police forces.
It's not easy to find those excel users and ask them what they need.
I have to admit it’s not the fee going to Apple that was my immediate concern.

I trust the team more than Apple at this point. I’d rather they had more control over our billing relationship.

Additionally, I consider this a business purchase. I prefer to keep my expenses separate. Most of my spending via my Apple ID is on personal/consumer stuff. Apple don’t make it easy to switch between IDs for different purchases.
Which plugins do you use for thunderbird to snooze? The only one I found only worked on a prior, not up to date version of TB.
Can you explain how you think confiscation would work?

So let me get this straight. You think gun ownership is a major problem, and that to get people with guns to get rid of them your solution is to ... bully them?

How does this bullying work in places that have high levels of violent crime?
What would the product be? My experience is that most ML papers are very brittle, for every cool result/example you see there's a plethora of nonsense spit by the models.
The perfect is the enemy of the good.

24 is 6 extra years of maturing. That will save a lot of lives (not just mass shootings, but gang violence and suicides). And 24 better reflects reality in terms of adulthood.

Not only that, but it's palatable politically. As long as it goes with voting age and other rights, then gun owners are more likely to go along with it. Make some exceptions that work for young hunters, and people won't feel left out.

If anything, it's likely to see pushback from the left because they want lots of people voting from a young age. But I don't think the overall electoral decisions will be any worse by making people wait 6 more years. The left will just adapt and move on (e.g. more focus on struggling families and less on cultural/identity issues).
1. This finding is hard to monetize, especially with ROI that Google typically does (for example a an app that makes $500 a month isn't worth it)

2. Deploying models in a cost effective way is hard

3. Lessons learned from building this model can indeed be monetized and many of them may be kept secret.
Common CI/CD Interview Questions (With Answers)
I have learned that some Americans consider it crucial to arm themselves in case there is a tyrannical government in the future. This seems nuts to almost everyone else in a first world country, and probably many other Americans. But these people, who are not in fact nuts or cretinous, actually believe this and consider it of paramount importance. In one sense, the point can't be argued.

My view: If the US population really wants to do something school shootings in the near term, then the physical layout of schools should be changed so that someone can't just walk in and shoot children. Does this make school look and feel like a dystopian prison? Yes. But that's the price of freedom, which probably shouldn't be born by dead primary school children. This strikes me as the only politically feasible solution right now.

Gun regulation seems likely to help and is a fairly logical solution, but too many people seem allergic to it, and there are already so many unregistered firearms out there. While we are dreaming, reshaping society so everyone is kinder and less likely to shoot each other is also likely to help.
Revenue looked on track for $20M ARR with no growth. About 500x at an $11B val.

But I think they raised about $1.3B, so if they recap at about that amount plus an employee pool, they can bring that multiple to 50x. This would wipe out the founders and early employees, leaving current employees some incentive to move forward.

Then, if the team can grow the business 2x, you are in normal-ish SAAS multiples. So it's not crazy. It could still work. A lot of pain.
That's the equivalent of counting the number of lines of code to see how much work you did that day as a developer.

If they will fire 50%, will they expect that the remaining 50% will do the work of 100%?

Can employees go on strike to prevent the layoffs?
My first "game development" book was from my father, bought during the 70's, it used only basic electronic components.

All games were pong like graphics quality.

While I never implemented any of them, it was an interesting source of knowledge while learning electronics.
My favourite bit of trivia about American gun ownership is this:

All records are kept ON PAPER. The gun lobby has successfully lobbied that electronic records with easy searching would somehow infringe on people's rights.

Your first link shows 2400 documented cases since 2019 which is more than I’d have expected. But clicking through those examples… many honestly don’t seem that sympathetic. Stuff like “shootout between X and Y, but Y shot second so it was self defense”. Or “X fatally shot Y with no witnesses to contradict his self defense claim”.
How is it from a hiring perspective weeding through all the options? I'm coming at this as a worker, I used to be on there years back but there is so much competition.
To run we must learn to walk first. To walk we must learn to be erect. To be erect we must master crawling.

I don't think the leap is too crazy if we are talking short moving pictures without sound. However, when sound gets involved, this is where it would become very tricky.
This is not how the burden of proof works.
I like to have a fairly regular routine with consistent time to wake up every morning. The typical day is divided into four phases:

- morning: start of with yoga and focus on most important work before noon
- noon: take a breather with running, have lunch and read up on hacker news
- afternoon: more work, mix in nap and meditation to get through the afternoon
- evening: wind down, prepare for next day

I wonder what would you say about the same argument for mandatory veganism or outright banning cars? The evidence is pretty clear there as well.
So the study took a subset of the programs shown on the benchmarks game website sometime 5 years ago, and that is why instead of looking at the benchmarks game programs we need to look in the repo provided with the study.
And Stranger Things isn't good, it's just a mashup of 80s films that are at least twice as old as the actors, no original ideas at all.

The problem is more celebrity rather than the filming process. Make it illegal to report any "news", ie gossip, about anyone under 18 for a start.
I work in a very large company which operates globally and there is talk around the water coolers about recession. All I can say is be ready for it. As another poster mentioned software engineers tend to do alright in such times as our tech is a route to cost reduction and automation - which can be bad for other trades but not. This is normal cycle of life - lost count how many recessions and market slumps I’ve been through.
January 6th is somewhere in the neighbourhood of the kind of scenario your referencing.

Ubiquitous guns change the equation for all kinds of theoretical events. They may be a boon in the "armed populous saves country from corrupt gov't" case, and a curse in another case.

Were a more extreme version of Jan 6th to occur in the future, adding civilian firearms into the mix may not be a good thing.
Restrictions and buybacks seem pretty reasonable to me. Supposedly support for the former is very high, and the latter is voluntary. I'm surprised training requirements aren't commonplace because there'd be a commercial interest from gun ranges and the like to lobby for that.

I'm sure there'd be pushback, but restrictions on gun advertising might be another option. Other countries have regulations around advertising pharmaceuticals, fast food, tobacco, gambling and so on.
I have a 10 and an 8 year old, and I don't agree that kids will find their own thing. I have to apply a fair amount of pressure to get 20 minutes of reading homework on school nights. I even have to apply some pressure to get them to put their laundry in the basket and put their clean clothes away.

There are heaps of things that just aren't that fun but that are actually important.
"The expectation of actions when you see a firearm"

The poster to whom I replied was discussing concealed carry and transport in a car.

Your reply to me is nonsensical. If someone is intent on harm, they are unlikely to broadcast it with open carry.
Simply: no.

Take a cold hard look at the institutions that fail children so spectacularly that they create mass murderers at a historically unprecedented rate.
Yes, it is perfectly readable. But: there is a function returning a function.

Haskell just decided to have a syntax (and type system) that can handle this without inducing nausea in the programmer.

As with everything, this comes with trade-offs. For example, Haskell's syntax (and type system) have a much harder time dealing with optional arguments. Something that eg Python does just fine, and that even C handles OK in the form of varargs.
My parents pushed me hard, but sent me to a liberal arts school, and I’m hardwired for engineering. Hilarity ensued. The grinding of gears was a memory I would pay to erase. Deeply resent spending hours every day learning languages for countries I had no interest in visiting and how glaciers formed. What a waste of my finite precious time. If only I could go back I’d run out the gate and get on a train never to be seen again.

I feel his resentment, but not sure if airing that on TV is rational, although it’s his right.
That is way cooler of what we did (earlier 90's), the typical garage door opener.

Later on digital circuits, we got to design basic CPUs, with optional breadboard implementation, but no one bothered to go that far for optional stuff.

Now run the numbers on gun deaths. Chicago has 30+ a weekend at times.
The analog configurability of PSoCs is perhaps a little less flexible than you might be led to believe. There's a small number of analog components which can be linked to pins or to each other through a limited number of non-uniform interconnects. It's certainly useful, don't get me wrong, but I'd hesitate to call it arbitrarily configurable.

I asked our own Microsoft account manager this, and they gave us a list of security features that we, in the enterprise, would use to upgrade.

Looking at the list featuring Credential Guard, Virtualization based security, LSAPPL and TPM 2.0 support, it became pretty clear it was a list of feature we had in Windows 10.
Of course electric cars are a big improvement in many ways. But it’s not revolutionary in the same way as cars compared with horses. The usage pattern between ICE and electric cars are more or less he same, while a horse require care for significant time several times a day whether you use it or not. Not to talk about the space requirement, speed, range or power.

"Hidden Champions", it is not super recent, but it deals with mostly what you are looking for.

The thesis is (If I remember correctly) that the backbone of Germanys economy are "Hidden Champions", small but highly skilled and specialized companies that can produce a niche (technical) good at an quality that cannot be matched by any other mean, making them practical the entire market for that thing.

See, this is why I just can't bring myself to buy a Tesla. Not until they suck it up and start copying time-tested designs that other car manufacturers have arrived at over a century long process of trial and error. What happens if the fancy screen crashes while I'm on the highway? What happens if the door handles fail like this case? What if I have to make a split second reaction and turn the car, and I fail to grab the yoke steering wheel? I'm sure that the followers of Tesla have an answer to each of these questions, but stories like this undermine the narrative. I'm a big fan of Musk, I'm rooting for Tesla, I think they've had an enormously positive impact on the world, but I don't want to spend tens of thousands of dollars to gamble my life as a beta tester.

Return on capital for flipping bits has been much higher than physical. SWEs are paid far more than material scientists and I think the latter is much harder.
Having read a number of his essays and books, I had no idea he felt this way. We get such limited windows into people’s lives and build whatever narrative around it.

I’m impressed by the courage to share something like this. It’s a lot to express and undoubtedly he’s going to get a lot of flak for it. I hope he’s healing though.

How much information can we extract from images like this, such as, which programms were used by whom?

Let us play a little Sherlock Holmes: At the right we see the usage pattern of a scrole bar. So the user is operating at least one programm in full screen mode. There are no clicks in the upper right or lower right. So the scroll bar was quite large and the user seems to prefer the upper third of the scroll bar for moving it.

There are no clicks to the upper right corner, but several to the upper left. Mac style interface? Or just one application running in full-screen all the time?

The pattern at the top indicates a menu or tab row. So probably no gaming?

Not many clicks at the left few inches, but quite a few in a vertical pattern thereafter. Browsing HN? Or an application with a little used side bar or side menu? Coding? Can we identify the IDE?

Several click to the same spot towards the upper right indicate either a closing button of a re-occurring modal dialog or a button (unlikely) at this place.

The pattern at the centre seems to indicate text processing of some kind, where the user tends to prefer a line a little below the middle of the screen.

Some other patterns in the center seem to indicate secondary windows: dialogs or sub-frames of the main application. There is no indication of switching application via a task bar at the bottom of the screen. So there is none, or only a single application was used all the time, or the user prefers another method of switching applications, such as ALT+TAB.

Anything else?
