I will try to remember this when the next cool development board entices me to order it.
I tried to follow his advice for a while but didn't ever notice a perceivable difference between, say, st and alacrity. I think the justification for why we care about latency, there, is a bit fuzzy -- the examples he provides are about stylus inputs, the feedback loop there is more direct and there's more physical experience. I can't tell you what you feel of course. Currently I use kitty. Perhaps I'm blessed by unusual latency insensitivity....
3/4 examples given were participles, so that's what I dealt with.

The fact remains there's no future participles in English.

Yeah, but at the same time these indicate a more serious issue with the SN

Sounds like "AA syndrome", where they dispatch these old planes on tight routes then wonder why the reliability is crap

If these were other times I'd be sure the airline and Boeing would come up with a mitigation plan for those things but now I'm not so sure
Are you talking about it in Dynamite form?
Mostly Czechs, partly Ukrainians. But a lot of Ukrainians have gone back to fight in the war. I saw the full buses departing from Florenc. There is some shortage of construction workforce right now because of the war.

The house I mention is in Ostrava, a rust belt city I happened to be born in. Fortunately both me and my wife can work remotely. Prices there are still somewhat affordable, though worse than they used to be.

Prague is, as far as housing prices to average income goes, one of the worst places in the entire EU. Bad.
Thank you so much for this link. Great article, quite appaling ao. It seems the Uber bros now brought the gig economy to the franchising industry... I hate the gig economy with a vengeance, it ia a lazy way for the rich to profit of the poor without taking any tangible risks whatsoever. Even better, you can ignore basically all regulations, those are for the poor peasants anyeay.
Yes, I do, physically. I quickly lose attention, cannot complete tasks, and drift off in naps regularly. That’s why I’m asking if others have resorted to those medications (legally obtained of course) to remedy similar issues when coffee isn’t enough.

The original blog post would be a better link to post here rather than the article: https://tech.fb.com/artificial-intelligence/2022/07/how-ai-c...

Reading through it, I strongly disagree with FB's example for "Better citations in action".
I don't see an improvement in the wording and IMO they would be making it worse by switching from an official first party source to a third party one.

While their tool might be useful to find semantic (mis)matches, a much more important part of verifying citations is to verify that the source has any business to make claims about the matter in the first place. https://xkcd.com/978/

QUOTE
Better citations in action
Usually, to develop models like this, the input might be just a sentence or two. We trained our models with complicated statements from Wikipedia, accompanied by full websites that may or may not support the claims. As a result, our models have achieved a leap in performance in terms of detecting the accuracy of citations. For example, our system found a better source for a citation in the Wikipedia article “2017 in Classical Music.” The claim reads:

“The Los Angeles Philharmonic announces the appointment of Simon Woods as its next president and chief executive officer, effective 22 January 2018.”

The current Wikipedia footnote for this statement links to a press release from the Dallas Symphony Association announcing the appointment of its new president and CEO, also effective January 22, 2018. Despite their similarities, our evidence-ranking model deduced that the press release was not relevant to the claim. Our AI indices suggested another possible source, a blog post on the website Violinist.com, which notes,

“On Thursday Los Angeles Philharmonic announced the appointment of Simon Woods as its new Chief Executive Director, effective Jan. 22, 2018.”

The evidence-ranking model then correctly concluded that this was more relevant than Wikipedia’s existing citation for the claim.

All algorithms are coded rules, the idea of using an algorithm to somehow launder responsibility in tech companies is ridiculous.

Before companies had algorithms they had heuristics, nobody would (successfully) deflect blame for the actions of the organization by saying "the heuristic did this!"

There doesn't have to be. A people's language family and genetics don't necessarily have to match, because a small group of conquerors can force their language upon a much larger gene pool. Modern day Hungarians, for example, are genetically only marginally different from their Slavic neighbours.
Japanese grammar was pretty easy for me to learn. There are only three verb groups in Japanese (i.e., Godan, Ichidan, and irregular verbs). The irregular verb group only has two verbs する and くる. The others are pretty consistent in following a few simple rules that map quite cleanly into a spreadsheet. There are 14 conjugation forms, which seems like a lot at first, but again, the rules are pretty consistent and easy to learn. At least I think so.

The hardest part of learning Japanese for me was Kanji (which I still forget all the time if I’m not using an IME or a dictionary).
Some of them have a reinforced steel tip that is as useful as the heavy wooden knob on the other end.

Even better: Zomato and similar companies are in it just for the money, as are those who operate “cloud kitchens” (sic), and so the result is crap food. Big surprise, right?
I totally agree. Seeing how damaged Russia is due to mass misinformation, it is amazing to see how HN commenters think that misinformation is not a big threat. Propaganda works if you give it an even footing as real news.

That's interesting - I've used Zulip casually and it's always been more responsive and stable than Slack, which has endless UI glitches both on my phone and laptop.

Not to mention that Zulip has some nice features like sane markdown and latex integration.

What has your problems with Zulip been?
There are a few interesting documentaries online. Check out unacknowledged, disclosure and close encounters of the fifth kind.

What's interesting to me is that the ce5 protocol meditation is almost identical to some Taoist meditation I learnt 20 years ago.

Of course there's also loads of bullshit too, but for me the UFO question was answered years ago. They're here.

The AATIP/UAP angle is a good one to rebrand the subject and make it more palatable to the mainstream after decades of mockery, allowing governments a way to research it seriously too.
Because on the flipside, there are users like me who found Discord far more intuitive than anything else. I don't think your 'technical literacy' overcomes a difference in expectations and culture when many others feel it works just fine. It's not the best UI, but it is acceptable given the status quo.

Neither you nor GP are articulating or giving examples. Start there and we can have a proper discussion, otherwise it'll be just another case of 'he-said-she-said'.
Mine does have that as well as a rubber tip do you can use it as a walking stick. It’s also a great umbrella that does not flip easily

What the court decides is different than “similar sounding names”.

My point was that similar sounding names are not automatically infringement because they need a court to decide that the similarity doesn’t matter. I explicitly pointed out two similar sounding restaurant names owned by the same entity because either they were assumed to be IP infringement until a court decided they were not, or courts didn’t get involved by default for similar sounding names.

The whole point was to make a reductio ab absurdum argument that similarity of names did not matter in terms of IP until courts were involved, so bringing it up as a reason that ghost kitchens couldn’t make similar names a silly argument to make sans lawsuits
> do regulators know that for a fact before they decide no to enforce penalties for what you are claiming is trademark infringement?

I've been told that trademark proceedings have to be initiated by the holder, and that the holder failing to do so is how certain phrases can become common names for a thing: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_generic_and_genericize...

But IANAL.

This may be true if the pistol magically appears in your hands just when you need it. In statistical practice you‘ll have to handle it safely for thousands of days till you finally might need it. Enough time to hurt yourself and your loved ones.

Not trolling. Just asking if others have used them. I’ve met with my doctor and took an ADHD test to see if Adderall is right for me. But before I start taking a pharmaceutical, I wanted to get opinions from others who have. Coffee no longer helps me stay alert or focused. So, I’m wondering if other ADHD suffers have found success in such medications.
It sounds like you're probably overthinking and overengineering your solutions. Knowing common patterns and useful architectures are good for recognizing when your problem needs them, but most software just doesn't need to scale to ridiculous levels and a lot of abstractions can get in the way even when applications have to be highly scalable.

My advice would be to try to optimize for what makes it possible for you to get things done the fastest. Ultimately that's the point of any abstraction, that and improving readability. Don't try and apply fancy patterns, just focus on solving the problems you're setting out to solve. If you find yourself working on a project long enough then you'll probably naturally find a need to start applying more complex architectures and abstractions, but it's almost never a good idea to start with those, even on a large project at a company that everyone "knows" will have to scale. Maybe especially in that scenario.

Agriculture. Especially the maintenance such as watering large fields, and surveillance where electricity and internet connection might be scarce.

There are a lot of challenges, especially in typical fields in South Europe, where large and automated tractors aren't an option.
I agree with the idea mostly.

Games are limited in the sense that they teach frozen symbols and mechanics. Great for learning a large number of mechanics, engineering concepts and 'settled science'.

Getting your hands on broad concepts, blank paper and a relationship with a master/teacher/prof will always be necessary to teach higher concepts.

I will also note that youtube, khan acamedy, and comment sections have done a lot of education, intentionally or otherwise and do a decent job at conveying the master's perspective on the topic being discussed. Video is education that can be done at a low cost vocally and visually, rather than developing it into a game, one of the most expensive and difficult art forms.
Yeah, go dx yourself with ADHD instead of letting a professional figure out what’s wrong but hey at least you might be awake when your heart stops.
Not a great idea, and also not good to use TouchID in general. If you're really keen on having a high level of security, the fact that someone can easily force your finger to unlock your Mac is not great. You don't even need to be conscious to allow ill-intentioned people to take advantage of it.

I wish Mac OS would allow the use of a "stress" fingerprint, e.g. right index fingerprint is to use when you're under duress, while instead another fingerprint is for normal use.
Keep in mind that stolen credit cards sell for a couple of $, having a sim swapped paypal account wouldn’t offer you much of an advantage here.

I assume the downside is that the Makila is significantly more illegal in many public places vs these umbrellas.
The shortest simple explanation IMO is: there is no standard fit or small set of standards fits.

Families have different needs, size, ideas, money. Ground where you build a hose and neighborhood are different, local climate is different. The same dress works mostly on anyone because while we have different taste we have almost the same shape and size (a small set of). A car works almost everywhere in the world for similar reasons, a small set of them suffice to match most needs and desires. Homes does not match at all.

If you are in a not so hot environment with nice weather most of the year you likely want open air spaces, but if the temperature is nice but also rain is a bit frequent you might like open air COVERED spaces, perhaps instead of grass you prefer something that takes less humidity. If the climate is hot you prefer indoor places and direct Sun exposure minimization tricks, BUT it the hot climate have also a big circadian Δt like many continental places/deserts you need also some kind of insulation and a big mass to absorb heat during the day and give back at night. On contrary if you are in a secondary home you might like the little mass as possible to heat/cool quickly. If you are in a moderate cold climate big glass walls are very nice both to be inside like you are outside but heat them home with the Sun... On colder climate there is too little Sun so better reduce thermal dispersion, so little windows or even no windows at all is better. If .... and that's JUST for the climate, at a veeeery high level overview.

Also there is another important part: some countries have much wood and do most part of the houses in wood, there some "standards" fit for scale arrive at the level of semi-finished products like panels, beams etc other countries have industrial capacity and less wood so prefer concrete that demand far less design and precision. Again less options for economy of scale.

The real scale that do not want to happen at scale is flexibility. In the past we have had MANY different machines/tools per different products. Then CNCs came to life and a whole industry of semi-finished products easy to combine like lego bricks rise. We try now (so far with little scale success) to do even better 3D printing, to in theory get better flexibility on the same tech and reduce waste. With such revolutions "artisanal" products can be produced within industry scales setups. And that's is the real revolution "almost there" but not there, not only in construction.
That’s surprising. In what way? I find it to be the most consistent and the most correct out of any chat software I’ve used, including IRC, Slack, Mattermost, and Microsoft Teams. They seem to just get a lot of stuff right.

The only thing that took me some time to adjust to was how overwhelming joining a new server can be. So many channels! Everything needs my attention! But after using it for a long time, I think this is actually a feature. I can mute channels and categories I’m uninterested in, but how many channels on Slack are never found due to poor discoverability?

We run both Slack and Discord at my work and the engineers vastly prefer Discord, for what it’s worth.
This is one of those,I wish D would take more inspiration from, instead Nim, Swift, C# (with post v7 improvements) seem to be the ones more closer to it, in language design for systems programming with GC.

There is a huge cottage industry of "voice and accent" coaches in call centers in India, Philippines and other BPO destinations. This is part of what many of those operators would call pre-process training i.e., the standard training one undergoes in a call center (eg: operating the phone) that is common across processes regardless of business verticals as opposed to process training which is a specific outsourced task (eg: banking customer service).

Mostly, these operators train for a neutral accent i.e., an accent that is neutral enough to minimize comprehension issues. It is a small but concrete subset of problems that the operators have a training procedure. The startup's solution seems targeted at this, but didn't anticipate the blowback. But their clients are the customer service organizations that outsource to these regions where accent neutralization is a need (most often mandated by their North-American or UK clients who are their outsourcing sponsors).

Did you know that many call centers also have AI sentiment analysis on the voice calls to show whether the interaction is "neutral, angry, happy" etc., and flag the sentiment on screen for the customer service rep and prompt the appropriate script for them to refer to direct the call to a favorable outcome? That was hot about 10 years ago (although with questionable effectiveness).
The fact that they have this kind of credulous pull with the man who has his fingers on the controls of so much of our information plumbing is even more upsetting than what the right has been charging which is that Zuck is just a big ol lib, especially given some of the bigger screw ups of America's intelligence apparatus.

Watching the Earth move beneath the feet of the gatekeepers in the 00s came with a lot of warranted but clearly unsubstantiated catharsis.
> I think it's complicated; the fact that I use a free slack instance for note taking / bots is one thing, but I'm on 2 company slacks right now (paid), 2 non-profits (1 paid 1 not) and a handful of open source communities. Am I a user who won't convert?
Everyone on a free slack instance is NOT using a competitor's product.

I’d suggest the answer to that is probably no - an open source community is by its very nature going to want costs and overheads down, and all but the largest non profits and NGOs are going to try to get by by stitching together free tools and services. The one that is paying in your example is the one in Slack’s target who is going to be most likely to pay. Does Slack care about a few open source communities potentially churning? Probably not. Does it care about lowering average Time to Revenue? Absolutely.
It reads hard like you looked at the symptoms online and lied to your doc to get drugs. Despicable for everyone who really is sick.

Some of those suggestions like the jagged ribs and shark fin fabric are not realistic advantages. Perhaps instead of kendo, should think of this more like a mace, cane, or short staff.

Loosing my physical wallet will cost me: About a hundred euros (cash), the annoyance of having to get a replacement for the cards:
- ID (probably 4 weeks or so and a visit to my Bürgeramt)
- Medical Insurance (probably a week and a phone call)
- 2 credit cards and a bank card (one, maybe two phone calls and a couple of euros)
- a handful of membership cards, non of which are card only and only there for backup to the corresponding app
I would say the total loss of this rounds to 100 euros and a couple of phone calls.

Your equivalent is not "loosing your wallet, it's loosing access to your bank account (which would cost at least thousands of euros). There is a difference! No, being in physical possession of my bank card doesn't give you the right to the contents of it. And there are _lots_ of redundant security layers beyond the simple card.
The first steam engine by Newcomen could have been built by the Romans, but it was hideously inefficient. There's one at the Henry Ford Museum in Dearborn, Michigan... it's a 2 1/2 story walking beam engine with a boiler about 8 foot in diameter, all working at NO pressure, and riveted together.

Rated horsepower? 11

The steam was taken in a wide pipe and allowed to fill the cylinder (which didn't really have a great seal), and the intake was closed, then cold water sprayed into the cylinder, cooling the steam and condensing it... pulling the beam down, and thus lifting the water from the mine, in a graceful slow teeter-totter motion. The cooling of the cylinder is part of the reason the engine was so inefficient.

I have no idea how much coal it took to run that, but given that if it wasn't at the head of a coal mine, all that fuel would have to be hauled by animal cart, it wasn't practical to replace 11 horses with something that used far, far more fuel than the equivalent feed for 11 horses (let's say they're in shifts, so 50 actual horses)

Watt couldn't get his improved steam engine to work. The cylinders he had made had gaps of up to an INCH around the piston, and no means of packing he had could contain the steam. It was Wilkinson, who had come up with a boring machine for canon that made a cylinder that was made the gap less than 1/8 of an inch, making it possible to seal in steam, and start to use it under pressure.

Once the bored cylinder from Wilkinson was available to Watt, the efficiency of steam engines tripled, and went up from there. That is how steam engines really got going.
My understanding (it's been well over a decade since I read Brian's paper) was that 3-lisp was the direct inspiration for the CLOS Metaobject Protocol. The semantics of CLOS are given in terms of CLOS, and as a reflective object system, you can happily intercede and change those semantics.

That’s not true at all. AWS start charging you as soon as the data leaves an AZ. In fact, if you use a direct connect you only need to pay 2c/GB to egress out of the region (which they most certainly pay are) which is what you'd pay anyway to another AWS region. Realistically, the data transfer costs are negligible (compared to multi-regional/inter-zonal costs) when the network has been engineered correctly. You’re always going to pay but you can limit to what extent.
