It might have been difficult to follow because the article was verbose, wikipedia's article on the same topic felt easier to digest:

Python is only really the glue here. The models are trained in PyTorch and exported to Microsoft's Onnx runtime (C++). So the bulk of the inference CPU cycles are outside Python.
>The abstract findings suggested that the components of a hotter system, by virtue of having more energy, are able to explore more possible configurations and therefore discover states that act as a sort of bypass, allowing the hot system to overtake a cool one as both dropped toward a colder final state.

> “We all have this naive picture that says temperature should change monotonically,” said Raz. “You start at a high temperature, then a medium temperature, and go to a low temperature.” But for something driven out of equilibrium, “it’s not really true to say that the system has a temperature,” and “since that’s the case you can have strange shortcuts.”

I gotta admit, that's pretty cool and unintuitive.

I don't understand this sentence; it must reference some context I'm unaware of:

"When you purchase digital content in Nintendo eShop, at the time of your purchase, you consent to Nintendo beginning with the performance of its obligations immediately, before the cancellation period ends, and you acknowledge that you will thereby lose your right to cancel at that point."

Ha, well sure, with Google itself not existing for another decade or so, I would have to agree with you there.

My suggestion was rather that this 2004 event was actually when you first encountered the "death tractor" round-trip translation, not in the 80s. I won't belabor the point since obviously you would know much better than I would.

I just found it amusing to find such an exactly matching thread, still easily accessible. And as you say, "death tractor" is good in any decade.

I don't think our guarantees extend to you just not liking it. The game has to be defective, or incomparable with your computer, or have been misrepresented before you bought it. IANAL

Updated after your update: In this case I think we can assume "acceptable quality" has already been established by Nintendo's QA department. Its not an open store after all.

For a non-sealed cup of hot liquid, the significant majority of cooling happens at the exposed surface with the air, through a mixture of convection and evaporation. Modeling the cooling as being proportional to total surface area would be pretty inaccurate, although there is definitely still some conduction through the cup/mug worth considering as well.
The malaise that’s followed Joe Biden is something America hasn’t endured in 45 years.

With Trump we were mad and caught up in the daily circus, but with Biden the country just seems to be holding its collective breath until he’s gone. The administration just reeks of weakness and ineffectiveness. Take, for example, his proposal floated last week to suspend the federal gas tax - shot down before the initial reports had all been written.

The fall midterms aren’t going to help anything either.

None of them really say. It's not clear what order negotiations happened in, so it's possible Bally Manufacturing (Six Flags) had no interest in the Santa Clara location (smaller market? too much debt?), or that Mariott's got a better offer from a real estate developer. It's safe to assume the park was offered to Bally since they're already in that industry, so it's a turn-key purchase. The Gurnee park sold for $114.5M, and the Santa Clara one for $101M, but I think Gurnee effectively had more land.

Interestingly, Santa Clara bought it for $101M in 1984. That includes buildings and rides, but they sold the land to Cedar Fair for $150M in 2019. One of those numbers seems off. Santa Clara also bought it in ~1984 to save it from being developed into an industrial park.
Do people really put energy into 'pontificating' to be fashionable? or do they form opinions and call for changes when they see things of actual real concern to them and the kind of world they hope to live in.

Current calls for regulation of Google and Amazon, are not even about search domination, and monopoly of distribution. They're about using their platforms to promote their own products and services over others, and rent seeking and app stores.
It had some functionality in that direction, and you could easily bridge the missing features with HyperTalk scripts. I think the real limitations were the 1-bit graphics and the lack of widespread availability of projection video hardware before the early 90’s.

edit: I just remembered that I’ve seen people give presentations built with HyperCard. I recall one where the presenter pretended to be surprised by a system crash (== displaying a Macsbug screenshot in the middle of the presentation) but neglected to hide the HyperCard hand cursor.
"Lib" is definitely a pejorative in my experience, fwiw. Nobody who is on the American "left" calls someone a "lib-something".
I think this thesis is dead wrong. She thinks the central banks found Jesus and the Era of easy money is over? For how long? The next 3 months? Until the market sneezes once or twice?

We have not even functionally started Qt yet and rates are under 2 percent and there are already massive black clouds forming over the economy. All the while debt to gdp is at 130%. And this is the moment that the Era of easy money is over?

I think looking back in 10 years, we will say that the Era of easy money hasn't started yet.
Yeah, the terminology is a bit loose here, A better name would be "carousel", but "slider" seems to be more popular term for "carousel" nowadays. See https://www.npmjs.com/search?q=slider
This reminds me of when people say that the Visual Studio debugger is much better than gdb, or that Windows developer tooling in general is better than Linux tooling.

I believe the main reason why gdb kinda stinks is that it can be: traditional Unix-like operating systems typically have smaller components with well-defined interfaces, making them much easier to debug. Windows has too many DLLs, too many interfaces between them, and poor definition of layers. Quick, what's the difference between kernel32 and kernelbase? How do I tell which one a program is using?

This is not to say that Unix-like systems have perfect interfaces, merely that they're generally better-factored than interfaces inside Windows and Windows applications. Further comments can be made of the differences between Windows and Mac "applications" and Linux "programs": for example, the difference is not only in GUI or TUI or CLI: Firefox is an "application", but Notepad and Calculator are "programs"; Paint is a "program", but Paint 3D is an "application".
an experimentalist would have tried both and figured it out in a half hour.

Why do you believe that? Exchanges have been caught lying and cheating multiple times.
This seems like playing with semantics. You could say safety isn't a priority, or that it's the highest priority, depending on what you define as "safety".

It's actually interesting that discussions about why people don't feel safe when they're not the driver are usually not very coherent. Fear of flying is the classic one: you have zero control, including the lack of ability to end the experience. Somehow, despite a century of commercial flight, aviophobia / aerophobia is still poorly understood and hasn't been studied very thoroughly. As a result, some fairly ludicrous explanations get tossed around, for instance that the fear is all due to claustrophobia (even in people who aren't otherwise claustrophobic) or lack of understanding of physics (barely anyone really understands physics, but no physics-illiterate person gets scared by, say, walking down a flight of stairs).

Maybe in your case you really are distrustful because of an entirely rational understanding of how software is made and what edge cases are. But like physics, very few normal people have any understanding of building software. And like flying, the real reason that the vast majority of people aren't -- and probably won't be, for a long time -- comfortable with self-driving cars is simply, lack of control.

"Safety" is not really the relevant problem here. Lack of control is. One horrifying, highly publicized accident a year could completely put off the entire population from self-driving, nevermind if the safety of self-driving is two, ten or a thousand times better than human controlled.

I look at money as renewable energy and yes you absolutely would prefer that energy be channeled into more productive uses. Whatever would maximize collective human flourishing. But the overarching point I'm trying to make here is that rapidly expanding the money supply will cause problems. Congress and the Fed pumped money into the economy with reckless abandon and now we're paying the price.
> If you're fine with bodies in the ocean, then you should be even more fine with bodies in the literal infinity that is outer space.

Yes, space is for us nearly infinity, but getting very far takes a lot of energy. So, the dead bodies will nearly always be in some orbit around the moon, earth, Mars, the sun, etc., frozen, and so expensive to retrieve that they will be there for 1000+ years and, thus, an embarrassment.

Last I heard, a dead whale, several miles down, gets eaten back to just the bones by some specialized worms fairly quickly.

But it's several miles down. On the moon or Mars, there will be a pile of frozen dead bodies right there, fully visible. Such a pile of frozen dead bodies, I don't think that will be acceptable ethically, politically, emotionally, etc. In a word, it will be embarrassing.

The media will have a lot of headlines -- add up all the money, the huge pile of money, and claim that about all we got was a pile of frozen dead bodies, as proof of our folly, that will be there for 1000+ years.
Never knew caches could take longer to retrieve. Always thought it'd be near instant.

No good solutions either, weird throttling isn't feasible when creating Web apps.

… my work here is done.
Yep, my two cents here as well. Thank you for refuting the strawman that people only defeat emissions devices to roll coal. Look, adolescent per-pubescent wanna-be boys (of any age) will always exist. But diesel emissions controls are currently out-of-control.

We buy diesel trucks because it's an inherently efficient engine and fuel that is rugged and should last "forever". However, the current state of the art emissions controls are a mess. Diesel-exhaust-fluid (DEF) injection, particulate filters (DPF), and exhaust-gas re-circulation (EGR) systems barely work. The manufacturers aren't truly incentivized to engineer them to function properly. Even worse, the EPA rules require even more complex and error prone fault checking - most of the time these things fail it's the built-in-test BIT checks and trip-wires. Sort of a DRM for hardware - and that what fails.

Now EPA has a mandatory 5 year emissions warranty. Which sounds great until you're on the side of the road and the dealer says it'll be 5 weeks for parts (because all they can do is swap parts).

You want to see a lot less people removing this half-assed claptrap? Make the warranty force manufacturers buy back any trucks that are in the shop for more than a week. Make the warranty cover a loaner vehicle of equal value and specs for vehicles throwing emissions codes. Cover RV towing or travel compensation.

If we are only "renting" our trucks and have no control over them, then big-brother and big-auto need be held responsible for them. Of course this will never fly - the manufacturers know that these technologies are too unreliable to make that kind of bet on.

OK, then have real right-to-repair and not just allow, not just encourage, but mandate, 3rd party parts sources - including software. This would also work.

But what we have now is commercial trucks and personal vehicles that are significant investments being crippled. So what would you do? If the white-market and grey-market can't help, you go to the black market and not only fix your truck but get 150 extra horsepower and screw the planet.

If you want to save the environment, stop insisting that "nobody needs diesel trucks" and stop keeping the people that do between a rock and a hard place.

People mostly follow the path of least resistance. So on gas cars, things like catalytic converters are no longer so faulty that's is worth bypassing for joe-consumer. You want compliance, make it the best, easiest, option. For 99% of the truck owners, being broke on the side of the road, being out of service for weeks, or having a 4-5 figure repair bill is the issue. If you had security that as long as you didn't tamper with the system, you'd be actually be safe from these things, NOBODY would risk it.

So, what method do you propose for communicating locally which will be faster than the network ? Unix sockets ? Pipes ?
There is a big causal step between "phones slightly warm brains" and "that causes headaches".

Fortunately we don't need to rely on the fact that it would be “hardly surprising” because there is good quality empirical evidence disproving the relationship.
Anecdote: a plumber in my family swore by this effect and always connected ice makers to the hot water line in new houses. Their justification was that even if their observation was wrong it was still one less thing that was likely to freeze in winter.
> The IRS can already calculate your taxes for you

Only if 100% of your income is reported to the IRS. Small amounts (under $600) often aren't, and while you might be able to get away with not reporting it, its obviously not legal. I had some slightly unusual small sources of income the past couple of years that I had to keep records of, report, and pay taxes on.

Granted, a lot of people arent going to have much more than a W2 and maybe some interest income.
Ransomware Payment: To Pay, or Not to Pay? That Is the Question
When Colonial Pipeline was brought down by a group of hackers in 2021, the company was forced to shell out $4.4 million in ransom to restore their oil operations. In early July last year, REvil demanded $70 million in ransom, the highest ever. Despite federal and homeland security agencies dissuading companies from attempting to pay ransoms, the Veeam 2022 Ransomware Trends Report found that 76% of organizations admit to paying ransomware criminals, with one-third still unable to recover data.
Hi all, author here. Besides the tech of Mimic 3 itself, I'm interested in training voices in as many (human) languages as possible. All it takes is one person willing to donate a dataset for everyone to benefit!

That was probably a mistake on their part, considering that he points to such evidence in the phrase that follows.
I think it’s that there are people who legit commute over the bridge, and they can’t be left stranded. No one commutes over the bridge by foot.

But I suspect you’re also right they don’t want pedestrians at night due to the suicide risk.

I once had my derailleur break at night while crossing the bridge and had to walk. They sent out a truck pretty quick to check on me.
What I'm trying to say is that anybody who wants to implement new features not accepted by the Core maintainers will never catch on, precisely because the share of other clients being used is so low.

A more distributed, equal % amongst all of the different clients would not only decrease the chance of critical issues with the main client implementation, but should also increase innovation, and make it easy for others to signal their support for that. Which is precisely why Core maintainers will likely see that as an "attack" on Bitcoin.
Even if you ignore who the buyer is, the neighborhood is office parks, a convention center, a stadium, and a golf course. The location has good freeway access and OK mass transit access.

It would probably be more offices or possibly entertainment, but the A's seem destined to leave the Bay, and I don't think SAP Center is that old. Could also be a shopping district. I don't think people want to live near stadium traffic.
That's not great for bootstrapped startups looking to hire. I see this will hit the startup ecosystem hard, at least bootstrapped ones.

Even for venture backed statups, the money doesn't flow around as much as before so eventually this big power developers have it's way too much and it will balance in the next few years.
Amusingly, I discovered that my Toyota Sienna had electronic transmission control when I was downshifting on a mountain descent, and absent-mindedly threw it into reverse. I'm still alive.
Because they didn't poll me.
Interesting. In 2017 I purchased a game on Steam that was said to work on Linux (SW KOTOR 2). It didn't get past the initial splash screen. Contacted Steam support and they refunded without question.

Would that experience have been different if I wasn't an Australian?
According to Reuters, up to 1,500 businesses were affected by ransomware attacks last year. Another report by the Institute for Security + Technology found that the total amount paid by ransomware victims increased by 311% in 2020, reaching nearly $350 million worth of cryptocurrency. It therefore begs the question – what happens when organizations are hit by a ransomware attack? Is paying ransom a good idea? What happens if companies pay ransom to restore data? How can companies prepare to safeguard from ransomware attacks?

That’s precisely the approach taken in studying the Mpemba effect, with wildly differing results.

The article goes into the difficulties in analysing out-of-equilibrium systems (both experimentally and theoretically).
Clear can be outright shady, sell their biometric information and scan time/place information about you, and nothing would likely happen. They'll just say "oops, must have been a rogue employee" or similar. When you sell to the US federal government, it's politics all the way.
You’re right, most, especially almost all of the smaller and medium-sized SWE companies are owned by individuals, but we sure do have corporations here as well. They look similar to any other US institution on the inside, but are obviously mostly still operating under the local understanding of work and employee rights. I have no real experience with the seriously big corporations, that always seemed like something I’d rather not work at personally, but I don’t believe it’s very different there.
There is no silver bullet when it comes to protecting against ransomware. A ransomware attack A prime example of this was the WannaCry virus attack in May 2017, where 200,000+ computers worldwide were infected due to a weakness in Windows SMB EnternalBlue, which allowed hackers to hijack computers running on an unpatched Microsoft Windows operating system. Users were asked to pay anywhere from 300-700 bitcoins to decrypt the data in 3 days.
