But the amounts being gambled are staggering. How many people gamble $400,000 away at a casino? I would think very very few. Sure, it happens. Addicts gamble away their entire livelihoods and businesses. But does it happen this often?
> If you had no chronic illness symptoms you were aware of, and then get covid, and then have chronic illness symptoms - that's long covid.

Or a coincidence.. Not an unlikely one either, given the broad and vague set of symptoms.
Russell did have good replies to Lecun’s replies.

From my reading of the full article, Bengio who was/is also well-versed in the latest deep learning research was leaning more toward the Russell argument as well.

A recursive definition for something makes reference to that self-same definition, but it always has a base case to break the endless regress. Non-programming example: in grammar, a noun phrase might be defined as a noun, or a modifier and a noun phrase.

I ran a micro-payments platform and our solution was to have users store money in their "wallets" that they could spend on any content with minimum amounts for wallet additions. Unsurprisingly, people don't like spending more money :)
So, you're aware that when I as this question, all the costs associated with the job are in the number. You only take home what you get after costs. Facilities, staff, legal liability, etc. I'm not offering you a job, I'm offering you a contract to fulfill. You can do it at larger scale if you please (say 100 prisoners vs 1000 children for $15mm), go ahead. I guarantee that you could do neither profitably.
Great! That means people will invest in cryptocurrency projects with good fundamentals and that deliver value, instead of the pure speculation that we've suffered until now.
>Ok so keep fleshing out your idea. You believe that the state department, et al, are some of the secret rulers of the world, and they puppet the president.

You make it sound like a believe in aliens and illuminati too.

Whereas what I believe is that the president is a figurehead, and the foreign policy show is run by party figures, long term Washington political careerists, big lobbies, and, long term State Department (and Pentagon) staffers and strategies. How is that a controversial take?

>The president, both Trump and Biden, were puppeting the ... UK establishment. And the UK establishment were puppeting the judge who is formalising the extradition of Assange.

The US has UK on a leash as a client state since WWII. That's what happens to empires when they fade and a new top dog takes over. No special need for Trump and Biden to "puppet" the UK establishment: in the usual course of things, unless there's some unprecedented harm to it's own interests (where it might take a stance), the US says jump and UK says "how high?".

>Assange is being extradited because the lawyers convinced a judge to agree to it - see how my theory involves no puppets, no deep state, no invisble powers...

Yes, just "Mr Smith goes to Washington" starry-eyed naivety, and an ignorance of a century of similar political maneuvering.

>That's not the impression I've been taking away from the three congressional hearing so far.

That's because those are dog and pony shows for the faithful.
Acute doesn't mean severe, it means short. I used it to distinguish from long/chronic.
I've had the same issue with little owl in Portugal (just yesterday). I believe it had to do with missing songs and cicada interference in my case.
More like animal codes. Humans are the only species known to be biologically capable of language (expect for one controversial case of a chimp maaaaybe doing it). To be a language you need things like syntax and recursion.
Re your second point.

It's discoverable enough because the next thing after tapping that most people try is dragging. And any dragging across any part of the screen activates the animation for the length of the drag.

It's plenty discoverable because they've made the whole screen control the animation
Godot is fine for GUI in Games and 3D apps. And that's it.
Funny that in a way we fall into the same pattern as GPT-3, reproducing the same two lines always. The first is "GPT-3 generated this", the second "but how do we know it really generated that?".
It's a common, almost universal, complaint which indicates pretty clearly there is more at play than individual virtue.
The healthy places I’ve worked have had a variety of personalities and personality types. Some of the people could be considered type B or less productive, but were great communicators that had an endless supply of tasks to do that they were quite competent at. As such, they provided great support to their teams and improved the culture.

Great, now if someone can crack the engineering challenge of installing a name-brand heat pump for less than $18,000 (CAD) that'd be great.
I think the closest short answer is that recursive definitions are just a special case of inductive ones for writing functions.
Clearly office work doesn’t help with this. Perhaps the flexibility and the removal of the need for things like capsule hotels will help. Maybe towns outside of the large megacities will see a renaissance ad people under 65 will be living there.
Browsers are fantastic cross-platform UI frameworks. Writing a local page is a great way to start prototyping. The problem is that they are very slow and resource-hungry. All those dynamic styling and DOM niceties come with a significant cost.

WASM can help, but the webdev ecosystem encourages developers to use fat JS libraries for most tasks.

Your browser prototype will probably start to chug once it grows to the point that it needs to juggle >1000s of objects. Native apps have the potential to be much more efficient and responsive.

They also tend to work better and more consistently on older/cheaper hardware. I think that every website developer should use a $200 Chromebook for development at least a few weeks out of the year. Most of the world is not using a new M2 macbook, and it's easy to lose sight of that when you spend your time working on new features.
Does this apply outside of Europe? Those website banners drive me nuts.
What's even more amazing is that the person in possession of it would have to identify themselves to bring an infringement claim...

Very unlikely.

Godot has those features because game devs often need to make UIs for the game e.g. menus, etc. A decent game engine has to have that kind of functionality. Godot dogfooding is not a good indicator of it's potential as a ui toolkit. It's probably easier for them since they might need specialized components and because they're already familiar with the tools. There's a very strong advantage unique to them.

There are alot of edge cases and broader applications that the right tool for the job like Qt and even electron cover because that's what they're specialized for.

The expectation that godot will cover two major disciplines is possible... but unlikely.
They're fictional paper rejections, and very funny (because some are so painfully plausible).
I'm not sure how much of Patreon is tied to Youtube. Anecdotally, of the ~15 creators I support on that platform, 3 of them are Youtube channels. The rest are podcasts, web comics, and blogs. Non-YT streamers and game developers are also a big segment, I believe.

Looking at the top 5 creators on Patreon[1], it seems like two of them are primarily Youtube channels. I could be wrong about that, but that's what a quick search implies to me.

In other words, it doesn't look like Patreon is exclusively or even mainly reliant on Youtube. On the other hand, if Youtube was only (let's say) 20% of their revenue, and Youtube went away, it could hurt or kill Patreon. So, maybe?

You wouldn't even need your toes to count the number or people who sang like 80% of the songs in Bollywood film history. A random google claims that Kishore Kumar sang 2905 songs, Lata Mangeshkar somewhere around 25 thousand, and Asha Bhosle around 12 thousand.

The time taken to perform a song doesn't have to be much.

edit: that being said, the choreography probably took 50x as much work as the song.
Christopher Alexander theorized about this in a great short article entitled Specifications for an Organic and Human Building System: http://worrydream.com/refs/Alexander%20and%20Jacobson%20-%20...

His key attributes:

2. User design

3. Repair and piecemeal growth

4. A human-scale building system
You might be interested in hearing that Saxon is available on four technology platforms:

* Java, with language bindings to other JVM-based languages such as Scala

* .NET, with language bindings to .NET-based languages such as C# and Visual Basic

* Native, with language bindings to C, C++, PHP, and Python

* JavaScript, running in all modern browsers and on Node.js

XPath is a powerful language in itself; you may not need to use XSLT or XQuery at all.

Physics is unforgiving and space is big. A species that would want to put us in a zoo would need to expend vast amounts of energy (and time) to get here, slow down, grab someone, then get back home, slow down, and then finally drop them off. They would have to plan this mission not knowing our physiology, morphology, or biology. It's difficult to even imagine a situation where the value proposition of that is worthwhile.

Scientific curiosity has a value but the effort involved would be Brobdingnagian.

If we assume some species decides to undertake such an endeavor and has the capability of doing so, there's nothing we can do about it. This is why the dark forest idea is so dumb, we can't not broadcast ourselves. We also can't change the minds of some unknowable alien species that decides to come over and put us in a zoo. We can take issue when they actually arrive but that's about it. It's not something that's worth worrying much about all things considered.
I don't think 3D interfaces really offer anything of value beyond 2D interfaces. I've never once in my life been using software and thought the GUI would be much better rendered onto the inside of a cube or something.
It's definitely happened in China though. Some of those mega-cities started out as sleepy fishing villages only 20 years earlier.
The traditional distinction is that a constant has the same value each time an expression referencing the constant is evaluated (hence a compiler for example can apply constant propagation), whereas the value of a variable referenced in an expression may be different each time the expression is evaluated. The most common example is a local variable, which, even if immutable, will often have a different value for each invocation of the containing function. This is most obvious for function parameters.

With constants, you could replace each occurrence of the constant with its actual value in the program code, without changing the program semantics. With variables you generally cannot do that, because the value will vary at runtime.

Constants can be in ROM, variables need to be in RAM.
This paper here will fill in the gaps of why auto antibodies against GPCR could be a bad thing - initiating autoimmune disease.

"GPCRs are the largest superfamily of integral membrane proteins in humans10. GPCRs play an essential role in vertebrate physiology by sensing the external environment of a cell and responding to a variety of physiological stimuli11. For instance, GPCRs coordinate the cellular behavior involved in host immune responses."

" we suspect that the homeostasis of aab relationships, which are possibly a physiological part of our immune system, may break down, causing autoimmune disease."

I considered moving to Portland in late 2020, glad I did not.
Life is life.

Construction is correction.
I couldn't tell from the abstract (is there a link I missed), but I suspect that the test for GPCR-autoantibodies has a baseline (e.g. to test positive you must be 2-sd above the mean). From that if all 76 test positive you can know without a control group that that is otherwise very unlikely and a strong signal of correlation.

Yeah, Godot has no concept of a flow layout because for games it doesn't matter, all layouts are fixed anyway. That's definitely something the box model of HTML and CSS do better.
Or my alternate hot-take (or cold-take?): Great, now if someone can crack the engineering challenge of an air-to-water heat pump water heater that doesn't turn your basement into a walk-in refrigerator, that'd be great.
Yes, Patreon's WYSIWYG editor is incredibly buggy.

But far worse is Patreon's messaging platform. Write a long message, then accidentally have a window resize event occur and lose your entire message.

Patreon's problem with losing text has burned me more times than other products with similar issues (like creating a Jira issue).

Some platforms like Slack do a much better job of saving a draft.

That's seems a quite naive/brash take.

Isn't it the case that Japanese work culture, "stay until the boss leaves", is what contributed substantially to loneliness in Japan? A lack of work-life balance? It seems to me that remote work could lessen this effect greatly.

Also, you seem to be assuming it will just lead to people working from home alone. Japanese housing is notoriously small, and cafes ever-popular, it doesn't seem unreasonable to me to speculate that this could lead to a boom in working from cafes and co-working spaces. Unlike a majority of the rest of the world, too, Japan has far less urban sprawl - so going to such places is less of a hassle.

Seems to me this would do the opposite of what you suggest.

I’ve never been there, but everything I hear about Japanese office culture sounds terrible: long hours, stodgy environment, forced participation in dangerous binge drinking.

That said, pretty much everything else about Japanese culture seems awesome.
As someone who did just that (went remote, moved to a small town with a Bay Area salary). I can say it’s amazing and highly recommend.

That said, no one else I know chose it. You lose a lot of the city night life and niche things. Instead you gain space, more rural style hobbies, less diverse food (particularly if you eat out), etc.

A lot of people aren’t able to recognize the pros / cons of such a trade.

For anyone reading, I recommend living in a suburban / rural location. Get out and take care of a big garden, go to local events and join a few clubs. Definitely a positive experience.
After the 2000 elections, the Democratic establishment did try to discredit the election.

Democratic leaders were calling the election illegitimate as late as 2006.

Even now, some leftish publications claim Gore won.

To be clear, using the rules as they existed at the time of the election, Bush won.

He won Florida by less than 20 votes - possibly as few as 6 votes. Out of hundreds of thousands.

But he won.

If Al Gore had chosen different districts to push for recounts, Gore would have won (possibly as few as 4 votes).

But he didn’t.

The Democrats - and the elites in general - absolutely challenged the legitimacy of the election. And still do.

And frankly given how small the margin of victory was, o understand why.

But 2000 really is when the shadow was cast over the election system.
This is kind of a strange question, a bit like asking if you can buy something priced in pounds with euros.

Cryptocurrencies differ from fiat in all sorts of ways, but ready conversion at the point of sale is not one of them.

Edit: maybe it's more like asking if you can gamble at the casino with dollars instead of chips, either way there's some kind of misunderstanding involved.
The Power of Plaintext Protocols
This particular act of vandalism is getting attention because Laurelhurst is a very wealthy neighborhood. All of these affected houses are worth at least $1M. The worst impacts of this crisis have been in homeless people themselves and in poor neighborhoods that the city chronically underserves, but outside of internet comments the press has shown little interest in examining that.

The scare quotes around "houseless residents" are stupid. They live in Portland and aren't housed. It's the best descriptor.
A very interesting argument I've read is that the value of bitcoin is it's volatility.

Meaning that you can trade billions on it's ups and downs, and make profit this way. Anything that can generate profit is valuable. Notice how the big exchanges, Binance, FTX are worth tens of billions of dollars, and their owners are deca-billionaires, thus kind of proving this thesis, because exchanges are first in the line to extract profit from volatility through transaction commissions.

TL;DR: bitcoin is backed by it's crazy volatility
Could you point me to a thriving community of real people who are artists? Like, a forum of people who are making real art and then selling it? Of course “real art” is a bit of a loaded term, but I mean traditional artists like painters or sculptors (not ${RANDOM_APE}) who are thriving or making their money through NFTs?

That's great news. I have a heat pump in my house, but still need to use the gas furnace when the temp drops below 40 degrees Fahrenheit.

I'm one of those and rather unsure of its value. The original reason is the modelling of the program as a reducible graph (if I'm not getting confused with other stuff).

I occasionally have a couple of returns in one func but only for very, very simple and short funcs where it's clearer.

I feel like the "Crypto Crime Wave" is really about NFT foolishness.

I had a lot of friends reaching out to understand more. A lot of them didn't really like the reality of how simple it would be to lift and mint a new thing. They were convinced they were holding a winning lottery ticket and I was a bad guy for saying it wasn't what they thought.

I've never encouraged people to buy crypto and if someone does, they are not as smart as you or they think. I personally invest in crypto because fundamentally I believe something deeper that I hope works.

Parasites live in the real world, the digital world, on the internet attached to whale buyers, and in the real ocean attached to real whales.

I've been burned so many times in crypto but I've been burned equally, if not more, by options offers, RSU bonuses and blackout periods, company mergers and subsequent outcomes of my shares, 401k/, etc etc.

We are constantly outrunning this wave and we are asking for transparency. Maybe it works, maybe it doesn't but we need to be expecting this public nature of failure and not being able to hide the juggling of balance sheets to hide insolvency
The difference is that the arpanet and later the internet were amazingly useful from day 1. In a sense we can applaud the cryptobros for funding basic research in cryptography and distributed systems, but as an investment or innovation, they are failures.
