> What exactly is [formula]

At Harward a bunch of young guys appeared who had an interest in some ideas coming from the east. One is Daniel Goleman ("emotional intelligence" etc). Others developed their "western constructions" over it. That formula you mention in the title is one.

> Some

You are constantly confusing practical advice ("try this and that") with the real thing - as if the point were "sleep" or "focus" or "relax" and you were criticizing "count sheep", "breathe deeply", "contract your muscle and release".

And your approach is fully alien to the matter: e.g. there is no «discussion» about it, it is not in that realm.

If you want to understand the matter, you will have to avoid those superficial, formal considerations and get an idea of the practical goal.

But then again, if you are so used to that kind of approach you showed - which you should not spend on things that do not match it: if you intend to remain in that approach, you should practice it on appropriate topics; if something in you is actually interested, you will have to abandon that unfitting framework. Don't tackle things with persistently short curiosity. The mental framework is built by the matter studied - otherwise it would be like applying e.g. (just figuratively) that of an historian to molecular biology.

Maybe start with approaching Mathematics: there is no really "concept", "word", "discussion" there in the way you used them (you would not be able to solve problems if you focused on the wrong things) - you will have to "go to the thing directly" instead of dreaming ideas about it.
Russia has already deployed absolutely everything it has, and lost most of it.

They tried to use air power against Ukraine and failed - suffered incredible losses and haven't achieved anything. For more than two months, they never ventured into airspace over Ukrainian controlled territory. They burned through their entire stocks of modern guided air to surface and surface to surface missiles, achieving some results like shutting down entire Ukrainian oil processing industry and most of military production, but failing to take out most airfields (Ukrainian air force is still intensely operating). Now they are using missiles that aren't suited for attacking ground targets like anti-ship Kh-22 - which misses by hundreds of meters because it has to fly all-inertial - it doesn't seem to get them anything but terrorising civilians. Because they have nothing better left, and they can't use manned aircraft.

Their tank force has suffered incredible losses and they burned through entire stocks of combat-ready equipment, all of it is either lost of already committed on the theatre - now they have to replenish with equipment from storage - the famous 15,000+ tanks and 30,000+ APC and IFVs left from the Cold War - which will be sufficient for a few years but this is yeah, old stuff.

If they are still making some progress it's only because of artillery, for which they have an advantage of having short supply lines and plenty of munitions in storage - around 6 million tons - but at this rate of usage both munitions and equipment from storage will inevitably run out in a few years.
I find it funny how CI is not continuous and not integration.

It’s inherently a batch process, so not continuous.

It’s an automated build and check system. It also runs on merge commits but this “integration” part is really marginal to the concept as represented by e.g. GHA.
What’s with the value judgement? People who had accidents and get addicted to pain killers are “weak” and “at the bottom of the food chain”? And “food chain” implies that humans are supposed to prey on each other, which would make what those people are doing OK.
In my experience, mindfulness meditation is a form of exercise for your brain. You are increasing your brain's capacity to control, move, and manipulate your thoughts and mental processes, analogous to how weight training might allow you to increase your capacity to control, move, or manipulate heavy external objects.

Sure, it's true that we always "focus" on something, but, like there is a difference in degree between a trained weightlifter and a non-weightlifter, there is a difference in the ability to focus that comes from intentional practice.

Of course there are people who are able to practice mindfulness in their lives without meditation, just like there are people who have strength without going to the gym - they just got a similar result from a different path. It certainly doesn't mean you can't practice mindfulness, any more than the existence of a strong (e.g.) construction worker means you can't practice weightlifting.
The modern adaptations of meditation largely position meditation as a way to experience peace/calm/rest and to develop self-awareness of your thoughts that allows you space to change your inner environment. These are both true and great.

But the actual, original purpose of any inward looking practice -- meditation, inquiry, contemplation -- is to discover the nature of your consciousness, to answer the question, "who or what am I?" by starting with the only part of our experience that is not changeful -- our awareness that we exist.

When you begin to try to honestly answer this question -- "when I say 'I', what am I referring to? this body? this mind? how can I know what I am, beyond a theory or thought? etc" -- it leads to a radical and yet in retrospect totally natural process of self-investigation -- turning your self-awareness upon itself -- whose end product is called self-realization, spiritual awakening or enlightenment.
Control surface write-ups are *huge.* The 737MAX design is broken as designed ... and then poorly built.

This is my gripe with all the cross-border cabs UBER introduced to the UK.

Drivers traditionally had local knowledge of the area they worked in because they lived there.

Since the new breed has taken hold it seems that every journey is down to the way Waze thinks is best, even if that's the wrong way down a one way street, or the longest way round because the driver doesn't know that there's a path that saves a tenner.

GPS and mapping is far from ready for this kind of business, even if it's as good as it gets. Reliance on technology in such an organic activity as driving lowers the safety of the roads. Drivers need to look at the paint on the floor and the signs on the street, not just trust the tech.

I feel strongly about that s because I drive for a living and when I'm held up it's usually the "one leg dangling delivery riders" or it's the out of town cabs trying to three point turn and backtrack to get on course again.

64bit floating point IEEE754 uses 10bits for exponent, and one bit for the sign. It's not that all 64bits are dedicated for value representation.

If you meant that 64bit long is a rather large 20decimals, indeed it is.
very well written. thank you!

two thoughts that came up:

- your 3 Ps sounds like a lot like I imaging older generations (older than me, mid20). Do you think this is changing with newer generations? As you said, this all is pretty much bullshit...

- From what OP said, she's more on the intellectual side. Men (or human in general) on this side might be more open and doesn't follow the cave man 'uga-uga' mentality
Yes, but who decides the standard here?

I am distracted 5 times a minute. Is it good enough or should I continue practicing?

And in the end - why is this a bad thing, to be distracted? If it’s in our nature in the first place?

I’m not being sarcastic - I truly want to know the deep answers from someone knowledgeable, but didn’t find any answers yet.

For what it's worth, I agree with you that something may be discovered some day.

But we currently have absolutely no evidence nor hints that might happen. We actually have more indication that an almighty creator exists than we have indication that humans may someday achieve FTL travel. At least the former has eye-witness testimony spanning hundreds of documented cases across centuries and cultures. FTL travel? Just speculation and Gene Roddenberry.

Who are you planning to talk to? A National MP will be in favour of just selling it and then bungle the IPO returning very little to the government. A Labour MP will propose opening it up but then get distracted trying to pass other legislation that nobody wants.

That aside you might make some progress talking to the Greens if you framed it as an environmental issue.
Mass shootings are more traumatic though as they're extremely brutal, graphic, and sudden. I'd weight the actual impact of someone I know being shot in a mass shooting far worse than someone I know dying of breast cancer. The latter won't have them leave in the morning and not come back at 5pm randomly. It also won't create a general climate of fear, distrust between people, and terrible politics. Both are tragic, but tragedies of different kind, which is why direct comparisons always seem technically correct but missing so badly the way people actually think about and experience tragedy.
I think these tiny or zero teams benefit even more from CI. As people come and go the CI process remains and people can use it without any local setup. Use GitHub actions to avoid main thing yet another thing (assuming that’s where the source code lives)
I never liked the story. The premise that a sentient lifeform would be able to traverse the universe, make contact with wildly different lifeforms, but somehow scoff at the idea of "meat lifeforms" is inconceivable, even stretching my suspension of disbelief to its limits. Especially since the explorers in the story have managed to decipher our communications, our culture (mentioning that we sing) and probed our biology.

There is a funny conclusion from Pareto principle: in any arbitrary division 80% of people will think that they belong to 20%.

I am doing tech interviews for I don't remember how long, and most of candidates not only are within 1-2 sigmas, but don't even have an idea what sigma is. But they still want to be compensated by an upper edge, and will even make a drama now and then.

The last example was a candidate on a coding session, who almost failed first (warming, 5min tops) problem, was unable to cope with second problem and left the interview telling us that "your tasks are not related to real life". The twist is that second task was not only taken from our real life cases, but even has a real-life data collected from server logs.
Read this bit again, it feels very bizarre to me and is like they're misunderstanding how server side development and containers work...?

> The whole isolation model that keeps WebAssembly from being able to attack the hosts through the browser was the same kind of [security] model we wanted on the cloud side,” Butcher explained.

I then went to the fermyon.com website, and their first line says

> WebAssembly-powered cloud tools

And later in the page leads to the WASM 'component model' at https://github.com/WebAssembly/component-model/blob/main/des... which actually mentions that!

> Embeddability: design components to be embedded in a diverse set of host execution environments, including browsers, servers, intermediaries, small devices and data-intensive systems.

So now I'm extra confused. WASM lets you run compiled languages like C# in the browser. You can already run that on the server side. You can run it in a container. What problem is WASM solving here? Unfortunately the language is hard to follow so even if they have answered it, it's not very accessible.
Yeah but that's in hindsight though. There are many things that were theorized before to exist based on new physics without direct observations already been made, after which a search confirmed there existence (e.g. black holes). That basically expanded our understanding/knowledge of nature.

what do you mean? are there still restrictions in NZ?
I don't agree with the reasoning in either of the other two answers you've been given, but Shannon (1950) gave the number of chess positions as somewhere around 10^43, so 150+ bits. The position accounts for almost all of the state.

You could do better with variable-length encodings and perhaps represent all "interesting" "plausible" positions in 64 bits, but as others said, compactness is really not a top priority in representations for chess engines, it's much more important to be able to query and update the representation.
Yeah yeah, we've done couples therapy. Talked. Yada yada.

The thing is, i just love and prioritise my kids. It's also not like I'm not living a good life, just a good relationship isn't part of it.
Kind of the same in the Netherlands. There’s a website buienradar.nl where you can see the clouds movement and you can see in advance when it’s going to rain on you, which for me is the most relevant weather fact.
> Do the various national weather agencies share data with each other?

Yes, via a UN body called World Meteorological Organization. They have 193 members, only missing a dozen or so island nations.
So, stars ?
Generally speaking if you are an authoritarian government or rogue company and can afford a company like McKinsey, they will take your money to consult and provide legitimacy. Scruples are overrated in this industry.
Loyalty is demanded by employers from employees, especially when unpaid overtimes are demanded. However when it's employers turn to reciprocally show loyalty to the employees it usually doesn't work. You aren't getting bonuses for your last year's unpaid overtimes when the company starts getting profit from your job. You need to beg for unpaid time off when you need to do anything at your home despite working many unpaid overtimes. You aren't getting salary rise for your hard work. You are being treated as disloyal replaceable resource. You need to be on a job hunt constantly.
How does this compare with something like https://sourcegraph.com?
How about actual capitalism rather than the government-enforced pro-major-corporations environment we have now? When businesses can lobby government to change the rules in their favor any sort of free market is impossible...
"No genius ever transcends his own epoch or is much aware of advances

Perhaps an exception is Da Vinci. Generally though, there's a separate
class of those with rich, intuitive imaginations, but without the
ability to fill in the details. They have the odd ability to be right
more than half the time. Early computer "sci-fi" thinkers, and I'd
include visionaries like Ada Lovelace there, have interpreted our
internet hundreds of years in advance. At that time there was nothing
comparable in nature to take as an analogy.
> while in the bay area it's between 5-10k.

No it's not. That's extremely high even by bay area standards. I'm sure you can find some new luxury apartments that go for that, but that's definitely not the norm.

And note that the US is more than just the bay area.
Sourcegraph wisely chased the enterprise market, so use it to index your private repositories. Plus it can other things such as finding all definitions and modifying them across multiple repositories. They don’t really exist in the same space, at least yet anyway.

Also there is no money to be made in public code search. Take my word for it. However it is something that all code hosing repository should probably have as a useful too, even if it’s not a direct revenue stream.
You decide what you are comfortable with :) however in general we can roughly decide if someone is struggling or not.

There are no "right and deep answers" for questions like this.

It's not only interesting, it's inevitable. The writing is on the wall after Intel acquired Altera. Actually just several weeks before Intel announcement of Altera acquisition, me and my friend who has worked with Intel before were discussing when the inevitable will happen, i.e. Intel buys Altera. Intel is the client of Altera and vice versa, for a long time.

Intel also has agreement with AMD, if any their staff members wanted to quit they cannot go to work directly under their direct competitors immediately after they quit (from Intel joins AMD, and vice versa.) So what any smart Intel engineers would do is to join Altera when they quit Intel. The acquisition is really inevitable because it makes perfect sense from the business, technology and human resources point of view.
> I have no doubt that Apple is looking at how data is leaking across the ecosystem and is seeking to stop it as much as possible.

I have no doubt that Apple is looking to exploit it to their exclusive advantage as much as possible, while marketing it under the guise of their privacy measures.
from my understanding Dark Sky never had a network of weather stations. they collected data from multiple sources:

Linters and tests should pass before code is rebased onto master. YOLOing code onto master is an antipattern because if your code breaks the build then you are holding up everyone else from being able to make changes until yours gets reverted. If linters and tests are already passing there is a very good chance the rebase won't break anything.
I remember there being about 5 layers of abstraction to using Redux. Every time you change something have to update 5 or 6 files. It really gave me Angular 1 vibes.

One thing I learnt from all these JS libraries and Node is that nothing is for free. If it seems too easy, then something gonna bite you in the ass down the line.

"ULA is functionally useless in any IPv6 deployment that has dual-stack operating anywhere."

"ULA per RFC 6724 is less preferred (the Precedence value is lower) than all IPv4 (represented by ::ffff:0:0/96 in the table).
Because of the lower Precedence value, if you have IPv4 enabled on a host, it will use IPv4 before using ULA."

There is an algorithm to get the nth digit of pi. It's just that it does not run in constant time
>Many people say speed of light is the absolute speed limit of anything or information can travel. Sure it is, which is easily proven by physics.

I remember reading that special relativity does not prevent faster-than-light travel, but does prevent accelerating a mass to the speed of light. That doesn't preclude things existing that have always had a faster-than-light velocity.

How such things could originate would be an interesting question for sci-fi.

If your argument is "These algorithms have differing degrees of computational complexity" then that doesn't actually demonstrate that one can't be algorithmically determined

You could make that same argument to the hypothetical knight. Capitalism in the modern sense has only been around for 200 years. Just because you are unable to imagine a different future doesn't mean that one doesn't exist. What you are doing is no different than an appeal to tradition. You are sacrificing the virgin to the mountain god every year for reasons you can't fully grasp.
You may be right generally, but for your specific example that's not email being rubbish it's Google being rubbish. Why not switch to a professional provider?
Skimming through it, I think they mean they've created a PaaS that would run your code (i.e., platform for "serverless" apps). But under the hood your code will not be started as a docker container & stuff but rather compiled to WASM allowing them to reduce the overhead. They've created an open-source tool for pushing your code to their proprietary platform and it's already got 1000 stars on Github. They are a remote company that, obviously, hires people (including women & minorities) in different time zones. They're using Slack for communication.

Interesting to see Lambda Function URLs in use! I like the idea of it, but I wonder/worry about costs of sudden traffic spikes.
Well there are plenty of possible projects for which CI has no value, I don't think that's a controversial statement. But anything of any complexity with a decent size team (where a full CI build is likely to take 20 min+), then I can't imagine being convinced it wasn't needed.
I mean, it's not like it's without its issues. I currently have something like five ongoing FOIA lawsuits, every one coming from a place of frustrated nonsense.

It doesn't work too well at the federal level because it's turned into a weak system filled with layers of legal nonsense for literal years, but some states (like Illinois) are pretty good about making it easy to litigate, and laws that are... surprisingly favorable for requesters. I got to witness a lawyer, who litigated FOIA at the the federal level, read the statute of Illinois FOIA for the first time, and he was jaw-droppingly gobsmacked by how much the law favors requesters.
Some modern computers use the GPU to display everything. E.g. on Ryzens you don't even get a BIOS screen or text console without a GPU. However that's just design choice because they assume that a GPU would be there anyway. It worked without one for decades.

However, what probably wouldn't work as well without GPUs is video production and consumption. Linux users knew that for years, when GPUs were poorly supported. Doing on the CPU does not give you the same resolution/framerate and requires more energy. Some might claim that watching less Youtube/Tiktok and reading more books or exercise outside instead would be good for "modern civilization".
They were. Now, DigiCert CA is used instead.
It's really hard and vulnerable to put yourself out there like this. I think it's good to be as kind and generous as possible in these kinds of conversations even (or especially) if there's some brutal honesty involved.
Is weather forecast enough for agtech business. Until recently I was in that industry and apparently the local weather station was the way to go for accurate predictions. we have a few of these hardware companies here in Europe and always wondered why this was necessary, knowing that we have some of the most accurate predictions here in central europe. How is it for you in NZ?
