She's right.

A good programmer makes computers do good, useful things for people.

You could be a wizard at programming, and work to serve ads, or sell lootboxes, or skim pennies off high-frequency trades, but that wouldn't make you good.
You didn't include the laugh track and yet I still heard it.
Coroutines are a tool for concurrency, threads a tool for parallelism - see e.g. https://stackoverflow.com/questions/1050222/what-is-the-diff... . In my new code coroutines have entirely replaced futures, they make the code much more readable. They can also be used for use cases where parallelism is irrelevant, for instance for generators.

Think of coroutines as a language-level way to turn procedural-looking call trees into state machines where the caller can control when and how the transitions of the state machine happen.

I know the LED matrix displays you linked mostly from Festivals and from a few (3-5 I'm aware of) largish (<= 4m wide, I suspect) outdoor signs in our city.

(Edit)

Surprised they're more common around your place. But might just depend on region.

I misunderstood that you thought mine was a LED matrix as well, but that was just my sleepy mind I think ;) still leaving the original comment below.

(End edit)

But there are also these:

And a bit simpler https://www.digitalsignage.de/files/digitalsignage/content/s...

They are much more common around here (200k pop city) than LED matrix displays, and often seem to run 24/7. These are essentially rugged, super bright, high-res TVs plus some PC to drive them. Maybe for larger cities with ad-heavy squares (think Time Square) these are significant consumers, but for our city I expect TV-like displays too consume more power (combined, not per-display obviously ;-)).

But I suppose that bill targets both/all types anyway :)

This is the key part. If they're originating the ACH (i.e. pulling funds from your account) and a return is issued then apartments.com are liable for sending those funds back.
I like the idea of only allowing one expression per switch case.
I don't think "spontaneously" and "incrementally" are mutually exclusive, but anyways, you can apply your "it happened incrementally and then something happened to make it stick" theory to China as well.

I'm merely pointing out that it's apparently not as simple as stepping on a scale because no one can get their heads straight about high BMI's causation to begin with or what to do about it.

It just seems much simpler to me to take an actually accurate test once a year and prescribe purely based on the accurate testing. That way we also get skinnyfat people.
It's a fair question to ask for clarity on the "bank officer" part. I was confused too.

Wow, this is pretty cool. Instead of turning a picture back into text, turn it into a unique concept expressed as variable S* that can be used in later prompts.

It's like how humans create new words for new ideas, use AI to process a visual scene and generate a unique 'word' for it that can be used in future prompts.

What would a 'dictionary' of these variables enable? AI with it's own language with orders of magnitude more words. Will a language be created that interfaces between all these image generation systems? Feels like just he beginning here..
Did the article imply somewhere that China is unique in it's censorship?

I personally tire of this pattern:

1. Article submitted to an international forum about X country doing Y bad thing

2. "Well the USA is just as bad, they also did/doing/will do Y bad thing"

Well yes, that is true, but people are voting up the submission because they found that X-doing-Y-today was interesting and don't care to rehash the history of the US every single time. YES the US has plenty of blemishes in its history. Yes it has censored, warred, raped, extorted, and imprisoned. Yes the US persists in directly doing some of those today, and through malice or ineptitude it fails to prevent others.

But the regularity with which this pattern repeats feels so much like state sponsored astroturfing I'm just tired of it.
If you've ever experienced a group of tv/movie enthusiasts watching something you would believe that laughs happening at awkward times are not just possible, but I would rather see them as a supporting argument for real laughter than a rebuttal.

One of my favorite moments was watching Kick Ass in a sneak preview. No one knew which movie would be shown and Kick Ass starts with a shock moment of a guy shooting a little girl with a revolver. One guy in the back started laughing so hard and it was so inappropriate that the whole theater burst into laughter.

Doing a bit of post production on the real laughter doesn't make it canned laughter.
Part of me still thinks Aereo wasn't honest with their technology. They showed off massive boards full of miniature UHF antennae, but a tuner/encoder is more than that. They never showed that part.

Must agree with the other commenter: It's quite hard to understand what you're trying to say.

Also, comments like this are coming across as arrogant. You appear to have jumped to the conclusion that xwowsersx has little experience in the industry and thus come across as patronizing.

As to your original comment: As a SW engineer, I've never had to work more than 40 hours a week, have no student loan debt, and make a lot more than a plumber. If you find yourself forced to work a lot more, you likely have made poor career choices (not by picking the SW industry, but by picking the wrong sub-discipline and/or company). As such, the fact that you're doling out advice as if you know a lot looks even worse.
Agree with this, if the malicious site is phishing by purporting to be a corporate entity, report it to them if you can. Most of them have Brand Protection™ services on retainer which will have their own relationships with registrars and know the ICANN dispute/seizure process very well.

But there are already people who earn money in their free time like land owners and people must work and give up some of their income so that the landowner gets paid for something that was already there and whose biggest benefits are provided by the community surrounding the land.

The free loaders that you seem to criticize already exist and nobody seems to have the desire to stop them.

Honestly I am so pissed off by people like you. If it was as easy as just working then we wouldn't have any problems whatsoever in our economies. The fact that there is structural unemployment due to how money works and that full employment reveals that there are rent seeking entities in the form of accelerating inflation should already tell you that the current system isn't working.

Is there any culture in the world without significant taboos or social rules around sex?

I can totally see why that’d be the default, simply because sex is such a charged act in any culture. Purely biologically: it’s a very vulnerable act and has tons of “political/social implications” in a social species. Who you have sex with and be that vulnerable with signals your “allegiance” in a sense.

Even chimps have taboos and social rules around sex for this reason. Who you have sex (or don’t have sex) with decides who’s in charge, who you support, what your clique is, and so on. A chimp caught having sex with the wrong chimp might be attacked.
It was exactly like Aereo. Their Supreme Court battle set the precedent that made the VidAngel battle a no-contest. Which makes me wonder how VidAngel ever thought they could get away with that business model.
Ronnie Coleman has BMI of 38.9 while having less than 1% body fat. Bit of an extreme example, but "light weight baby!"
How many pieces do you typically need to play this game? The rules place no explicit limit in the size of the stack, although if a stack gets to be 8 pieces high, then it can't do anything other than leave the board, which puts an obvious theoretical maximum at no more than 64 pieces per side (4 checkers sets). I wouldn't be surprised if the actual theoretical maximum is lower than that.
First off, I'm no doctor or even close.

In recent years there has been a back-and-forth discussion about whether being overweight is bad for your health. Intuitively one might think that being overweight is bad. But in 2015, for example, there was this article, which reflected a story making the rounds at the time:

https://qz.com/550527/obesity-paradox-scientists-now-think-t...

What I take this study to be saying is that obesity in itself is not really the problem, but it is (presumably) highly correlated with high A1C measurements and inflammation, which do indicate a poor state of the endocrine system (i.e., Type 2 diabetes), which can in turn lead to heart disease and stroke if not treated.

I'm hoping that someone who knows more than I do will poke some holes in what I have just written so as to give you a better answer.

Leaving aside the matter of Mormons and their weird puritan sensibilities, what this company essentially did was reinvent movie rental, but because they did it on the internet instead of a brick and mortar shop we're all expected to think it obvious and self evidence that what they did was horrible.

In other contexts on sites like this, "do [common thing] but on a computer" patents get mocked and derided because "but on a computer" is seen as a farce, not a fundamental difference from the [common thing].

Anyway, I guess the mormons could get around this and achieve their desired effect by instead selling DVD players with a subscription to a service that distributes EDL files; instructions to the DVD player about which parts of movies should be skipped.

Let's just take the topic of measuring GPU usage. This alone is quite tricky -- tools like nvidia-smi will show full GPU utilization even if not all SMs are running. And also the workload may change behavior over time, if for instance inputs to transformers got longer over time. And then it gets even more complicated to measure when considering optimizations like dynamic batching. I think if you peek into some ML Ops communities you can get a flavor of these nuances, but not sure if there are good exhaustive guides around right now.

It's helpful to look at that case in the context of the time, which was pre-New Deal, more federalist, and the Bill of Rights applied narrowly to the Congress. It was about a state (Ohio) having a censorship board, not federal censorship.

The argument wasn't even made that it was a violation of the first amendment (which would have only applied to laws by Congress, not states). The argument was more about things like whether it was a violation of interstate commerce to have to have different versions of a movie for different states. They did argue that it violated the Ohio state constitutional right to free speech.
For the intervals they look at in the article, the perfect 4th and 5th, 31-EDO is worse -- about 5 cents of error, versus about 2. What 31-EDO has is a major third that's almost dead-on, and a minor third that's a lot closer.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/31_equal_temperament#Interval_...

41-EDO though has a perfect 4th and 5th that are closer than 12-EDO, being off by about half a cent rather than about 2 cents. In fact, 41-EDO is better at every commonly-used interval than 12-EDO, plus it adds a lot of very good 7-limit intervals too (i.e. ratios with sevens in them like 7:4, which is way off in 12-EDO).

By a weird set of mathematical coincidences, 41-EDO is actually quite playable on guitar with the right layout. The trick is to omit half the frets and tune the strings so that each string has the notes that the strings above and below it lack. Tuning by major 3rds, you get a whole lot of useful notes clustered where they're easy to play. There's a handful of us (in Portland mostly) trying to promote this idea: https://kiteguitar.com/

There exist obese individuals that are not positive for those markers, and there exist non-obese individuals that are.

In a clinic, that might look like more proactively monitoring an obese patient for these indicators but not focusing as much on their obesity if those are doing well. Likewise, it might look like adding these tests to a 5 year physical (or whatever) for non-obese patients, since they appear to be especially suggestive of concern.
>Viewing sound waves that don't synchronize with each other as being better matched than sound waves that do synchronize is less plausible than violating the fundamental theorem of arithmetic

Actually it's perfectly plausible. People couldn't imagine others enjoying hearing a tritone -- and nobody in 1800 would imagine we'd enjoy listening to punk, hip hop, or Death Metal, and yet, millions do. We can surely consider a race that doesn't require intervals to absolutely synchronize.

>That hypothetical species wouldn't recognize two notes an octave apart as being similar, so there would be no reason to imagine a circle of fifths in the first place.

Note how I said that this imagined alien race would consider the "divisions in 12-tet as perfect". Note how those do include a perfect octave, that we already recognize as such. The alien race wouldn't change that, they'd just need to also consider perfect the slightly off ratios in 12-tet.

I quietly enjoy watching my HA Proxy logs live and watching things bounce off. I have had an on prem MS Exchange (currently 2016) system that passes PCI-DSS for several years. Quite a few URLs will run really slowly from the outside world and then fail to work. Password testing on the OWA will quietly get handed off to a fake page that not only never lets you login, but gradually gets slower and slower and uses very few actual resources. The real OWA page is firing up all sorts of things in anticipation of you authenticating but the HA Proxy fake login is a C process and tiny.

You call your sites "silly hobby" but they are still interweb facing and if you don't protect them they will cease to be just yours and instead be part of a botnet that's trying to hack me and my customers or stealing your electricity to run cryptocoin generation or used as part of the war against Ukraine.
