> What does this mean?

It means to run the “./configure” script first, which is normally present in the unpacked tar file. Also, on Debian, to compile programs, you usually first have to install the “build-essential” package.
Well congrats! No one here knows your inside joke though so I had to speculate on the weirdness of it. I'm glad you're happy and avoiding the metaverse. It sounds like a slice of heaven.
Google maps? What don't you comprehend about that? Do you remember tripquest and MapQuest back in the day? Modern Google maps is just dynamically loading series of images. An Atlas of images really. A MIP MAP, To make a pun. Those images are associated with coordinates. Get GPS data from user and link it with image and you have where you are. Everything is just linked database information on top of that to provide richness. Stores, location data, parks, etc. Layers and connections.
Med school demands a lot of my time and energy, way more than what I imagined before switching, but I feel an unexpected satisfaction learning about how the body works. I think it's because that knowledge is so universal (how the body and pathologies work is the same everywhere) and relevant to everybody. Plus I feel very grateful to be in a position to be able to do this.
The learning process that junior devs go through at Octobot
It's a silly argument though. If twitter knew all bots, they could easily remove them all.

Because that isn't as easy, what they have is just an estimate. And what makes Elon estimate any better than twitter's?

Elon figured out that he can make money by manipulating the market via twitter posts. An ability to control the platform would allow to have even more impact and it would be harder to prove that he had anything to do with it.

The purchase backfired his stock tanked (not just because of the purchase but other actions he did recently, he put me off and I was a huge fanboy before) so he is looking for excuse to get out.
> Almost exactly 2 decades ago a related theorem, prime factorisation being in P, was proved by a couple of undergrads working with a professor in IIT Kanpur, India

It is still an open problem whether prime factorization is in P or not. What Manindra Agrawal, Neeraj Kayal and Nitin Saxena showed is that checking whether a given (binary) number is prime is in P. Up to today, no polynomial-time method has been published to obtain a non-trivial factor of the input if the AKS algorithm returns that it is not prime.
Maybe timezones? I also see M1 everywhere on that page.

>It refers to 5% of monthly active users who are shown ads.

This may come across as pedantic, but I'm genuinely asking: can a bot be "shown" ads? If a bot never loads the js or html that serves the ad, was it "shown" ?
I did this back in 2013 I think. I had a desktop and a laptop that both supported IOMMU device passthrough. I used the Xen hypervisor at the time, and had a VM that I could migrate and then hotplug all the PCI devices to between the systems.

I never got it past the "playing around with it stage," but I was just _so_ sure that the market was going to move that way... Imagine your phone and laptop just migrates out to the cloud every time you lock it, then live-migrates back in when you wake it up... Or at least between your tiny laptop and your beefy desktop. Because nobody would have just one computer!

It sure sounds cool to me, but the reality is that it's too clunky. Virtualization and live migration are absurd solutions to consumer-level problems.
Apple’s CarPlay is going beyond the infotainment screen
I'm curious about the nuances of this, I haven't seen this argument made elsewhere yet, but it does seem to make sense that you would make that kind of exception. Even when you buy a house as-is, exceptions are generally going to be made for existential threats (leans on the house, title issues, etc.) outside of the _condition_ of the house. But it still feels like posturing, especially since he knew this was an issue before he made the offer, why not explicitly call this out in the contract? It definitely feels like the weight of the economy collapsing is the substantive issue.
At least on Windows it's just on their browser[1], but here, it looks like it's the whole OS.

On the topic of phones and loans, I remember reading the reason people line up for blocks for new phones: there are a lot of people who have bad credit and can't get normal loans, but they can usually pay for the phones in installments, so they buy these phones on day 1, flip them easily and quickly (and maybe even with profit) and in effect they've gained a loan...

I don't know that I agree.

Historically, many good scientific models had generalizable predictive ability (relativity being a good example) that was used to make predcitions that led to discoveries). I would say that if a scientist can use a model (that's all an ML model is) to anticipate likely regions of phase space to explore (say, in making engineered glass or steel), it is in fact "discovering" things.

Also, when you reach the point of needing a human to double check all your predictions and the humans experts disagree about the golden label as much as the model has uncertainty in the prediction, the model has reached human performance, and "human checking the results" doesn't even make sense since they would increase the false positive or negative rate of the system. Already we are seeing some image recognition systems whose classificaftion of hard examples exceed that of the best human experts (while being hundreds of times fasteR).

And what’s quite interesting about the pseudo-panspermia hypothesis…

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abiogenesis#Homochirality

…is the chirality of the molecules we’ve found on comets and meteorites. The amino acids and sugars out in space match what we find in Earth biology. That in way proves that some of the building blocks of life on Earth were generated in the Solar System, but at least it’s a plausible link.
The law of large numbers comes into play here.

There are at least 100B stars in our galaxy. Over the last 20+ years we've gained a lot data on exoplanets. Exoplanetary systems seem to be really common. So stability, the right elements, etc no doubt all play a role but we may be talking over WWhata trillion planetary bodies (including large moons).

What's more, our understanding of where live can evolve, survive and thrive has greatly expanded in recent decades and now includes volcanic vents on the ocean floor, for example.

So yes a lot of things have to go right but we're rolling an awful lot of dice.

I wish Handbrake would incorporate some of these. Its built-in deinterlacing options leave me wanting, particularly with older animated content.
If I'm not mistaken, we're still not sure how many species of dinosaurs were feathered. But it's likely at least many (all?) theropods (e.g. velociraptor, T-Rex) were.
Thing is that in a pointer heavy environment like Java (or Python, JS, C#, even C++ with too much OOP), it does not matter that much.

The ArrayList will be a nice flat chunk of memory... of pointers to the data, so you'll have to do a lookup for each element anyway. The LinkedList will have two lookups still, but it's not an order of magnitude anymore. Now it's more of a tradeoff between bit slower reads / bit faster updates.
Thanks roligras!

We focus only on club-level players, so the courses are more practical than many of Chessable's.

Also, we have the virtual coach mode and progress reports (a-la-Duolingo), that adds accountability for the user.

Parent in full:

>> A newspaper is a carefully crafted collection of articles by the editors. 720,000 hours of video gets uploaded to YouTube every day. Equating the two is simply not reasonable. YouTube is more like a library or archive, where users themselves decide what to consume.

You:

> So this comment hinges on a particularly egregious bit of logic: The idea that the fact that 720,000 hours of video get uploaded to it justifies poor curation, because being responsible for it is hard.

You're trying to win this one- in part- by covertly asserting your definition of Youtube being a curator. Which directly charges over & ignores exactly what the parent said.

Curators operate by tastes. Not by moderation guidelines. If youtube took 1/2 the 720,000 hours of day of video & said, nah, we don't want the rest, you might maybe have a leg to stand on. It's a silly pretense, calling them a "curator," or a "publisher," or whatever other pre-contemporary shoebox of an idea you strive to fit them into. There's simply no parallel. We never could amass information like this before; it physically was not possible. We never could allow so many visitors to an archive of humanity before; it physically was not possible. What's happening now does not mirror the past, it is something new, and doesn't fit the compact tight little vintage models you try shoving it into.

You were a librarian, so you might enjoy a reading suggestion on an idea to pool human knowledge & expand it's access. John G Kemeny, Chairman of Math & Astronomy at Dartmouth, wrote "A Library for 2000 A.D." (and 2100 AD), written ~1962, imagining a vast globe-spanning system of teleconnected/replicating microfiche to capture human knowledge & development. It was an epic & expansive proposal, expecting 10,000,000 items (mostly articles, papers, some books) per year added (and increasing in velocity). He writes of high-science-fiction of the day, but today it feels so unbeleivably antiquated, prehistoric. We are unimaginably more empowered, more capable than he could have imagined.

Things have changed vastly in 10~20 the past years (20TB hard drives for $450!), and trying to impose old framings to view & understand & govern what we expect or how we regulate is a huge hazard. I think it's imperative that we recognize that there are things without precedent, and be willing to adapt & accept that there are new things. Sites that accept user-content are, to me, a phenomenon begat by possibility. Stores & businesses did not have place for words, short of a bulletin board, before; it wasn't practical & it wouldn't go far. Now that expression has such new potential, we must be willing to face & accept that preliminary fact, rather than regress to using only old patterns to make our decisions.
>Trees are felled somewhere. They could be planted for that purpose (fun fact: almost all paper comes from trees grown for that purpose, which complicates the story of recycling) or they could be in the wild. These places are typically remote.

Tangent: That just blows my mind how that can be a thing. The trees take like, 20 years to be harvestable? And lumber at the source isn't that expensive? So, how can it be profitable to buy land and guard/maintain the trees for 20 years before you get any profit?

Why does the article repeat this known-to-be-false assertion about Wikileaks?

"But WikiLeaks had also shown, quite recently, a willingness to be a mouthpiece for foreign intelligence services: in 2016, the site had released e-mails from the Democratic National Committee which had been stolen by hackers working on behalf of the Kremlin."

The DNC leak was an inside job and not a result of a "hack".

Apple adds iOS Safety Check for people facing domestic violence
My initial reaction is one of uncertainty, maybe unease. I really like having an immutable record of personal and business communiques. This feels like a loss more than a gain.
I'm not sure what you mean by "simple systems are easier to dismantle". It seems easy to think of counterexamples if I'm understanding what you mean. Even with technology, the bitcoin blockchain (simple) seems way harder to dismantle than layer 2+ web3 DeFi projects running on smart contracts (complex)
I had a tiny habit of making cryptic names and structures that only I would perceive as good. But even then, with time I balanced things out.. I understand the value of other's perspective. And most books talk about it right away. People seeking advanced PLT features are not in it for foolish tricks.
To be honest, I don't know. But I do know that the speed at which memory moves can alter the game when using traditional based "intel" optimization wisdom.
This is excellent. I love the classification of bands by the words most important to them, and the subsequent clustering by subject.
Agreed, trick is to account for the media's tendency to skew the facts. For instance it seems to be approximately 100x more likely that a Tesla that catches on fire make the news than a gas car. You could easily conclude Tesla's catch on fire more than gas cars and the published statistics confirm the Tesla's are radically less likely to catch fire.

I've know quite a few Tesla owners (3 on my street), joined a Tesla slack channel for my org with dozens of users, visit various Telsa forums, and I can't say I've heard the 3+ month story from any of them. I did see it pop up on the news, but not at all sure that it's more common than other vendors. It does seem like Tesla is doing generally better than the competition in not halting production because of parts shortages.
Even if Elon Musk somehow personally lost $200 billion on this $30 billion deal, he'd still be one of the richest 100 people in the world.
The biggest flaw that I think most other flaws derive from is making the huge dependency on RxJS, but then not trusting it and building in escape hatches that end up making "Angular Best Practices" wind up becoming "RxJS Worst Practices" and performance suffers accordingly. I noticed that even the Roadmap now mentions that they are finally re-evaluating the play between RxJS, Angular Change Detection and Zone.js. RxJS is "push" oriented so why do you need two complex "pull" oriented systems around it?

(In my opinion: Zone.js and Angular Change Detection are these extremely baroque, over-complicated systems that aren't necessary at all if Angular actually trusted RxJS to "push" changes. Or they could skip the huge RxJS dependency and go all in on "pull" like Vue/Svelte. What they have today is a worst of all worlds compromise that benefits no one.)

While we are at it, here's the Component Framework I built out of what felt like necessity to try to make following RxJS best practices easier in building Angular Components (and make it easier to switch components to ChangeDetectionStrategy.OnPush and apps towards being able to set Zone.js to "noop"), which I built out of some struggles doing performance optimization work in Angular and some patterns I was already following in Component building:

The Fermi Paradox isn't a paradox to many (including, I believe, Fermi). The answer many suspect (myself included) is that spacefaring life is incredibly rare so it's not really a "paradox" because there is nothing to detect.
Anyone have any real-world comparisons between the M1* MacBook Air and Pro models? I think the question for many of us going forward is going to be, do we buy the M1 MacBook Pro or the considerably cheaper M2 MacBook Air. Of course, the Pro has extra ports, but many of already have the requisite dongles or may not even use the extra ports.
Much like the M1 Ultra before it, the M2 uses Apple’s custom Arm silicon, and it’s now

* Built on a 5nm process.
* 1080p FaceTime HD webcam
* New power adapter; two USB-C ports, allowing charge to 80-percent in 20 mins.
* 20 bln transistors — 25 percent more than the original M1.
* 18% faster CPU.
* 35% faster GPU.
* Next gen secure enclave and neural engine.
* Updated media engine that supports 8K H.264 and HEVC video.

This MacBook Air with M2 will be available in July starting at $1,199.

There will also be a model with a touch bar starting at $1,299 (?).
Not sure where the "again" is coming from. I'm not the same person.

No, I don't think most people know that. They know there are bots, and they suspect there's a lot. That's why I said there's a difference between the two.

Yes, there are big differences between an NSA leak versus the hypothetical soft drink company example. These differences are fair game to discuss.

But in the context of the thread, the common thread is clear. Negative information, even if true, can be chosen selectively to attack an enemy.
So, they are getting rid of the wedge design? I'm a bit sad to see it go, but it has been the same shape of the Macbook Air since they first came out in 2008. So long as it keeps a "thin and light" design, I'm sure it will still be quite popular. The latest MBPs are powerful, but a bit on the heavy side.

The mech4cars.com article is conflating the service brakes and the parking brake. The service brakes (the primary, foot-pedal actuated brakes) in a Tesla are hydraulic. The mech4cars.com article uses a link to [1] as evidence for the "electric brake system", but this is the _parking_ brake (which is indeed an electric motor, but is an entirely different system, separate caliper, etc). The parking brake will remain engaged even if you lose 12V, so you won't roll away if power cuts out (which you'll know if you've ever tried to tow a Tesla that went totally dead while parked). An electronic park brake is a setup seen in many modern cars.

The biggest issue with structured data is that our most powerful tools for tracking change over time only understand plain text, and even that they do fairly poorly. Any attempts to represent our programs as anything more than marked up text end up crashing against the rocks of Change Over Time concerns.

I don't know if there's a mathematical proof out there that says it's intractable, but most of us behave as if it is. But my suspicions lie elsewhere. I think the kind of intelligence that is comfortable working in this space is simply not attracted to the field in sufficient numbers, and so the Venn Diagram of people possessing the right skills and sufficient motivation is just too small.

In the late days of UML I realized that I was spending most of my time fixing path finding problems. I had a running joke with a coworker about hiring a bunch of game designers to fix this stuff. I don't know how much money you have to pay game AI designers to work enthusiastically on diagrams but I am sure I'd get sticker shock.
Interlacing should never have been part of any digital video standard, in my opinion. All it has done is cause problems. Early digital productions shot in 720p look better than their 1080i peers.

Wonder what the availability will be. There have been rumors of delays, and MBP orders were pushed out to mid-July. I wondered if that was just because they were going to be announcing new machines and figured people would want those instead.

See an eye doctor for one. Secondly you're dealing with perceptual issues and you should verify that your perception isn't faulty. See if you could find a light meter or use your phone in some way to gauge the brightness of your screen and of your environment. If you could look outside at a sunny day and you don't have to squint for a second because it actually hurts to see the brightness of the day then you might actually have a physiological thing going on.
