> Why enjoy this and not videos of people falling off of skateboards

Because watching people suffer makes me _really_ suffer.

That's why the Office and other Ricky Gervais self-deprecation shows were fun but also very painful. However, his After Life series was incredibly touching. Even thinking about it makes me emotional.

Netflix and other streaming platforms have made inroads into anime production committees, but you are correct in that so far very little overall impact is seen in the industry. The Japanese domestic market is still the chief driver of demand for new anime, and success overseas doesn't seem to really inspire a response from most of the anime industry. I wouldn't say they're "isolated", since the market has been penetrated by the west, it's more like they're indifferent to western money.

I think Aniplex is in a position to change this, but the difficulty is going to be luring the studios since money doesn't seem to have as big an impact as one would expect.
You should write better code.

Excel breaks between versions silently. One of my first jobs out of university was to build a pipeline of excel spreadsheet to ensure they were run in the version of excel and windows they were created in. You could not guarantee that you would get the same results otherwise. This was a slight problem for the brokerage I was working at since it had lost them a few million dollars recently.

There are perhaps homonymous reasons why this might appeal to the sophomoric sort.
I am surprised the FTC has not raised issue with this policy.
Maybe. If this were a couple of decades ago and this search were performed, the searcher may simply see zero results. This used to be an acceptable response from a search engine - unless there's some website that specifically contains the search term being sought, simply return zero results. Not thousands or tens of thousands results.

What we get instead are incorrect results which are being presented as reasonable answers to the search query in the name of advertising revenue.

I'm pretty new to it. Any tips on making retro pixel art assets. I want a stone or brick wall I could tile into a game I'm making.
Your first random prompt is far from random. It contains the fragments "sublim", "chr", "cross" and "corpt" in addition to the isolated "E", which all project the solution down towards Latin and Christianity.

You can easily see that these language models are in some sense working on fragments as much as they are on the actual words isolated by spaces in your sentence. Just take a test sentence and enter as a prompt to get some images. Then take that same sentence, remove all spaces and add new spaces in random locations, making gibberish words. You will see that the results will retain quite a few elements from the original prompt, while other things (predominantly monosyllables) become lost.

To me, I have not seen a single example that cannot just be explained by saying this is all just linear algebra, with a mind-bogglingly huge and nasty set of operators that has some randomness in it and that projects from the vector space of sentences written in ASCII letters onto a small subset of the vector space of 1024x1024x24bit images.

If you then think about doing this just in the "stupid way", imagine you have an input vector that is 4096 bytes long (in some sense the character limit of DALL-E 2) and an output vector that is 3 million bytes long. A single dense matrix representing one such mapping has 6 billion parameters - but you want something very sparse here, since you know that the output is very sparse in the possible output vector space. So let's say you have a sparsity factor of somewhere around 10^5. Then with the 3.5 billion parameters of DALL-E 2, you can "afford" somewhere around 10^5 such matrices. Of course you can apply these matrices successively.

Is it then so far fetched to believe that if you thought of those 10^5 matrices as a basis set for your transformation, with a separate ordering vector to say which matrices to apply in what order, and you then spent a huge amount of computing power running an optimizer to get a very good basis set and a very good dictionary of ordering vectors, based on a large corpus of images with caption, that you would not get something comparably impressive as DALL-E 2?

When people are wowed that you can change the style of the image by saying "oil painting" or "impressionist", what more is that than one more of the basis set matrices being tacked on in the ordering vector?
Especially considering if the rest of us includes all people still being born..
It did used to be possible to craft searches that'd find that kind of thing, with Google. Not in natural language, but you could guess enough unusual words that might show up on a page that had that info to zero in on it.

Their apparently paying a lot less attention to certain things (like link text—"what might someone use to describe a link to this resource, but which might not appear on the resource itself?" used to be a very fruitful way to search), and freely substituting words or dropping terms that are merely not common on hits (but not totally absent from 100% of results) has made this kind of thing impossible.
I can see the source of confusion. Apologies. I mentioned ACID transactions were released in 4.0 but did not explicitly mention when the problems arose which of course was in 4.2 which was actually released a year later. The version numbers are clearly referenced in the Jepsen article.
Evolutionary adaptations? As this is a domesticated plant, shouldn't any changes be considered the product of intelligent design?

Setting up and maintaining your own Trino cluster isn’t exactly trivial. You pay a premium for not having to do that.
Twirp is excellent. Their protocol is _very_ similar to the Connect protocol for unary RPCs.

However, the semantics that Twirp exposes are different from gRPC. That means that it's impossible (or at least _very_ awkward) to have the same server-side code transparently support Twirp and gRPC clients. The Twirp ecosystem is smaller, and has more variable quality, than the gRPC ecosystem; when you choose Twirp for your server, you're betting that you'll never want a client in a language where Twirp is painfully bad.

Our hope is that the Connect protocol appeals to the same folks who like Twirp, and that the server-side Connect implementations make it easier to interop with the gRPC ecosystem.
I miss yahoo of 1996 when they were a table of contents. Practically unmaintainable which is why they gave up, but it was nice to follow a few links and find something interesting on weird subjects. No search at all in those days, but it was better for finding things.

>He always prepares a couple of questions in case the conversation stalls

A lot of people underestimate how much effort it takes to keep a relatively smooth flowing conversation for a matter of hours. Ultimately if the words are flowing the host is doing a good job.

In many cases for some of the more controversial guests Lex adds some disclaimers at the beginning, but it's not the host's job to argue every single statement.
> As it happens, Google rewards websites which use keywords in their url, title, headings, and first 100 words. Just by eyeballing, we can see that this particular website is targeting the keywords “water”, “system”, “irrigation”, and “garden”. Pages like these hyper-optimized to come up for particular searches. The stupid expository stuff exists only to pack “important keywords” into the first 100 words.

Another explanation is that the type of company that buys thousands of links is also the type that pays rock bottom for their writers. I don't think you need to necessarily write trite crap in order to do well in SEO.
Ya Boy Kongming looks fantastic and I absolutely plan on subscribing to HIDIVE later this year. I have a lot of Sentai Blu-rays and I hope they continue to license good shows.
I read recently of two identical twins separated at birth with on growing up in South Korea and the other in the United States, the twin who grew up in SK had an IQ 15 points higher than her identical sister. The connections in the brain either degrade or strength depending on how it's used and I can absolutely see a person's IQ being increased by engaging in subjects/tasks adjacent to what most IQ tests measure.
If that's the case, then why was Right Stuf able to sell it before?
I don't think that's either important or correct.

The biggest distinction I'd make between an interpreter and compiler is whether you need it to be present at execution time†, and if you use TeX to output PDF then obviously you don't need TeX to be present to view the PDF.

Correctness aside here's what you're replying to:

> TeX is the macro language and the compiler, LaTeX is the library.

What exactly here makes any compiler/interpreter distinction important? How is the communication improved by this "important" "distinction"?

†: Yes yes there are so many nitpicky "corrections" to make here that, indeed, any "distinction" can approach meaninglessness. If you're about to reply with that, read the second bit.
> (though I'd appreciate it if words weren't changed under me by fiat and I wasn't gaslit about what I'd been taught they meant)

Sorry, words change under us.

If you grew up hearing that retarded meant a very specific clinical thing, and then a bunch of people use it as an insult... you shouldn't be surprised, for instance, that those people and their families don't want to be referred by that term anymore or hear it in use.

It's not their fault or your fault, that it became a pejorative. But everyone has to deal with the aftermath anyways.

> but I do insist on being able to convey the concept of looking and seeming like a woman/man irrespective of the person's own opinions

"Likes to be called she, but hasn't transitioned".

Yes, it's getting a bit more complicated. Part of that at one point in time, your sex assigned at birth set everything about your life-- socially acceptable occupation, expected mannerisms, means of dress, acceptable social partners, allowed interest.

That's become much less over the last 100 years, and the pace of that change has accelerated in the past 5.

Someone born female can choose to be androgynous in a way that doesn't carry a bunch of tomboy female connotations now. That's good for a lot of people who had to struggle to fit into a category before. But it does mean we all have a little more to explain.

> The user is never going to see the code though.

No, but the user is going to see what the code does. Microsoft doesn't want to be in the middle of the debate about people writing code that allows someone to pick "nonbinary" by suggesting one way or another.

> I'm upset at deliberately limiting my ability to draw inferences from the information available.

Look, if your best hint at how good someone is at basketball is that they were an Asian male at birth, it's not a very good hint to draw inferences from. If you need to know that thing, measure it directly, or at least pick a better proxy. If not, leave yourself open to a bit more surprise.

> The fact that people object to anyone actually trying

No, having to continually "prove" your identity to each next skeptical person really sucks, because they're sure you can't be ______ because of _______.

The fact that women objected 50-100 years ago (and really, well, now) to people just habitually considering them "another dumb girl" doesn't somehow validate that girls are actually stupid. It's not like the same bad logic works now on new subjects.

> proves that we all know that the stereotypes actually work pretty well.

Confirmation bias. And even if they did, it can still be terribly unjust.

A British comedy series I can recommend wholeheartedly is The IT Crowd (available on Netflix, at least in some countries).

An exemplar of the subgenre "what on earth were they smoking?" is The Mighty Boosh.

So true. People see sci-fi representations of technology in movies and TV shows and extrapolate that to the real world never realizing that satisfying the prerequisites for any technology to become a reality is easier said than done. It’s always handwavvy too: the computer will figure it out. Let the computer do it.
> Mass-appeal queries are, almost by definition, not particularly hard to find. If I need a bus schedule, I know to talk to my local transit authority. If I’m looking to keep up with the Kardashians, I’m not going to have any problems (at least, no search problems.)

In identifying a 95/5 reward for supporting "mass-appeal queries", is much of the answer right there?

And will the average general-purpose alternative search engine escape similar incentives?
Bring back Access. I understand it needs to be rebuilt, so probably build it on top of sqlite. There's nothing (popular) in the niche left by Access.
Interviewing is a skill and Joe had a long time to perfect it. That said after 300 podcasts Lex should’ve improved but he hasn’t.

He really needs to get a producer to provide him with constant feedback and to guide him in general; every great interviewer/newsperson had an even better producer behind them.

1491. Highlight recommend it, as well as the sequel 1493. The fact that the stuff in those books isn't common knowledge we all learn in history in school is quite disappointing.

Probably a couple books related to software as well, but the above really stand out.

Yeah I am not hardline anti-Docker. And anti-k8s only for small teams/companies.

With larger teams, I have written and maintained custom k8s operators in production. It was a great fit for the problems we had at that scale of developers.

A terrible fit for the problems my current team has.

Now I know I want to search for fjaka -- if I want to search further because this article might just be what OP wanted.

The success for search always has been finding the keywords to search for. You can see here it took me just a few minutes.

He clearly asks these 'entry-level' questions for the audience when he thinks it's helpful. I've been thankful of that a few times when a guest, speaking about a field that is far from my own, is asked to clarify something briefly. So I'll disagree with you here that it 'is clear he didn't know what the Stasi was'.
If you ask me, his reputation was the thing that was sacrificed when he joined Facebook.

Megacorp, do they exist?
the idea of protobuf is "init to default value and then incremental merge message fragments".

Which is even more crazy then missing parts have default value, when you consider how that behaves in some cases of mismatching schemas (it also can introduce annoying limitations when trying to create idiomatic libraries in some languages, especially such with "type-safety").

And then add in some of the "automatic type conversions it does".

And to top if of some edge cases tend to very often diverge in implementations of different languages, no matter what the original intention was.

And the result is uh, just uh, very very uh.

I understand why google uses them, it fits them. It probably a good idea given google scale problems, company and team structure and "skill level" of each member.

But that doesn't mean it's a good fit for everyone.

The title is misleading because those guys don't use Fahrenheit units. Therefore it seems technically false to claim that "Spain bans offices, bars and shops from setting AC below 80 degrees." A small nuance, but CBS News I guess.
This was anything but a shallow dismissal.
It is not only that. This search specifically is something that it's impossible because if the search worked, those "places out of the beaten path" the author is searching for, would immediately become popular and they wouldn't be true results anymore. They not being "indexed" by Google (or the internet in general) is what makes them the way they are.
I would like to see a source for that claim though. Seems odd to me. Also most pages are low ranking. Even on say HN which is probably high ranking, the page for this comment is likely to be low ranking, because it is new and nothing is linking to it (other than the one link from another leaf-like page).
It makes a lot of sense for a wire format to save space by having a default value and omitting the message when the value is the default, and by standardizing on a specific default, the protobuffer protocol avoids developers having to wonder what the default is for every field.

I agree that it can be a sharp edge for the tool if you don't see it coming... It can be convenient to deserialize a protobuffer into an in-memory representation for working with it. Proto doesn't do this for you because it would be unnecessary overhead if your code can just work with the protobuffers as-is, and protobuffer errs on the side of speed.
The routefinding also seems to be seriously imperfect. This journey from London to Tripoli takes the land route around the whole of the Eastern Mediterranean coast: https://omnesviae.org/#!iter_OVPlace427_TPPlace292
On my 2015 Mac, using just a single core, TeX composes the entire 495-page TeXbook in under 0.2 seconds, or about 0.4 milliseconds per page. That includes reading the 1.3Mb input file, evaluating all macros and such, doing all line-breaking and page-breaking, and writing the entire 1.9Mb dvi file.

So, I don't know where the "too slow" meme is coming from. Is there a browser that can open and scroll to the end of an HTML page that's 500 screen-fulls long in 0.2 seconds?
If these proofs really are like codebases, wouldn't we eventually expect these proofs to be written as software?

You'd install lemmas using a package manager and then import them into your proof.

You can then install updates to proofs. Maybe someone has found the proof to be wrong, in which case you either find a different proof or invalidate the lemma so all the dependents can be invalidated automatically.
I think if you find verbal communication difficult then it could help to start with that, and take what you learn there to help improve your writing later on

This gets even more effective once you layer in content-based ranking adjustments -- where defined types of content or viewpoints get automatically downranked. You downrank the content directly, and then the rest of the web is highly penalized from even linking to the "disapproved" content, and so that content effectively disappears from the internet, except in tiny dark corners that aren't found via search.
You misunderstand my point. A replica may of course safely assume it is not involved in a transaction it hasn’t witnessed so long as it has a “complete” log (as in, the portion involving it).

> that fact is obvious from their absence.

Yes, but absence from what? There must be some message that contains the relevant portion of the log declared by each other shard. If that shard is offline, so it cannot declare its transactions at all, how does the system continue? This absence is one step back from the one you are discussing.

If a shard’s leader is offline, a new leader must be elected before its slot comes around for processing - and until this happens all transactions in later slots must wait, as it might have declared a transaction that interferes with those a later slot would declare.

If no leader can be elected (because a majority of replicas are offline) then the entire log stops, no?
