> So denying it's historical success based off of some theory

That's not what I'm doing. I'm more than ready to acknowledge the fact that our history has led us to have biases and that these biases might have helped us historically, and that it might still apply today in some situations.

Because we need(ed) to be able to find fast answers and we need(ed) heuristics for that.

But this is not a reason to unplug our brains when we don't need to be that fast. Whatever is good for immediate survival might probably not be so good for long term decisions.

Here's a riddle. In some shop, you can buy a paddle + a ball for $103. The paddle costs $100 more than the ball. How much is the ball?

You might be biased to answer $3. The bias that makes you think that might help you guess this answer might lead you to the right answer most of the time. But here that's wrong, and this bias is not going to save your ass. You'd better have the right answer or you might take decisions on wrong data. Don't you want to avoid these kind of biases? What good is there in thinking that the ball is $3?

We are also biased to reject people different from us. Historically, that might have helped us be cautious because people different from us might have belonged to other tribes that would fight us. But this kind of biases may make us racist. Is that what we want? Don't we want to fight this?

A big chunk of the population is biased to be scared of spiders. But in places where spiders are harmless, this bias is at best worthless.

Biases are tools for fast thinking. As natural as they are, they are just that: tools, with drawbacks. Use wisely and cautiously.

> It's a gamble

exactly.

> When my gut and instincts tug me in biased direction I can question it, but I never ignore it

Of course, they are a start, an input. As long as you think. But I'd say the awareness of having biases should make you trust your gut / instincts less, not more.
5-6 containers simultaneously with other applications?

64gb if you don't want to end up with swap. 32gb is the bare minimum.

Ram on m1 is split between gpu and cpu. 16gb is more like 10gb available to the actual application.

Don't believe in all the hype and misinformation surrounding ram efficiency on m1.

Swap is fast enough for most casual users to not notice the impact but as a developer or creator, you will definitely notice it.

- Routing Optimization for deliveries

- Allocation model for distributing cars to dealers in the country, which has many configurable business rules and constraints

- Feature Store & Machine Learning Platform

- Recommender Systems

I am looking for a Data Scientist, Operation Research Scientist, and Machine Learning Engineer roles
Easy: Look at atheists running for office and their chances of being elected.

Also, your definition of discrimination is oddly specific.
Perfect 'Einstein Ring' Captured by James Webb Space Telescope
We had Ada.
Were they just limited to that, they also must be pedelecs, and 300W or less.

There are higher ebike classes, but many countries sit on that legislation.

It's a bit crazy that in many places the electric scooters may go faster than ebikes, despite having worse brakes.
The link used to be <https://postmaster.live.com/snds/index.aspx>, and has existed since at least 2018.
One thing that was really buried in that article was this bit:

> At some point your IP range is bound to be banned, either by one asshole IP neighbor sending spam, one of your users being pwned [emphasis mine], due to arbitrary reasons, by mistake, it doesn't matter. It's not if, it's when.

In other words, at least some of the time, the one of his users' accounts had been compromised, and as a result, his servers were actually sending out spam. But rather than take responsibility for detecting and blocking outgoing spam on his own servers, he's blaming The System for doing exactly what it was meant to do.
Not sure why you got downvoted. I travelled SEA and did some freelancing at Swiss rates. Now I live in Switzerland and earn internationally.

By far the best I could do for my mental health once the wage slave thought took over.
Slightly unrelated, but early in my career I brushed off those tours as not really useful for my developer job. Mostly because I got indoctrinated by my computer science profs that it's all data flow in the end. Don't concentrate on what's behind. Even though I still think it is to some extend true to remind yourself to abstract away the meaning for the business, the real reason for those tours are so different: They are memories for life. This is how you become a fully formed human in our society. One of the perks of being a tech consultant was really to get to know so many different life worlds of people working in different sectors.
In the future, it would be cool if there was an open-source data compression algorithm that used SIMD in its decoder so it could compete with Oodle.
Wait wait wait! You forgot about marshmallows!
Yep. Any ideas on how to serve it to 1000's concurrently? Also, is there anyway to be sure that most/all of the people who have payed can view the content?

With PowerBI, MS handles that - what server/library can I use to know if people can access? Sorry if this is a dumb question, I'm new to the space!
If you have the cash flow, you can get a secured credit card or secured loan, which is giving a bank the money to lend[1] back to you at no risk to them. i.e. if you give them $500 as security, they'll give you a credit card with a $500-limit, which you still need to settle like any other credit card. Most people who didn't miss payments get their security back after a year.
Oh for sure. What people don't realize is how high the "whee!" factor is on an ebike. You're gonna be wanting to go fast automatically and near the bikes top speed the assistance gently tapers off. You'll balance at a speed where the amount of work you're doing is reasonable. You'll cycle much farther than otherwise because if your legs give in you can always cruise home at a slightly lower speed.

It's probably the best invention in transport since the car. Remember all the hype for the segway how it'd be the new mode of transport? all that applies to electric bicycles.
PostmarketOS v22.06 SP2: The One That Swipes
I have to say I find that Sabine is more pondering to the nutjob crowd. I really enjoyed some of here posts with deep insights into quantum physics and cosmology, an area where she is a subject expert. Now she is posting on all sorts of topics, some of them where she clearly has very little background and limited understanding.

They also have this strongly science sceptic undertone. While I appreciate that an healthy amount of skepticism is a good thing, the undertones in her posts are much more of a general criticism of science/scientists without any actual arguments.
I really liked this movie as a kid. I feel it won't live up to my memory. Though I do like the premise. I think there could be a cool remake there.
I find it odd that I’ve never had COVID symptoms, even though post vaccination I’ve more or less lived my life like it was 2019.

I don’t wear a mask unless mandated. I go to my open plan office 5 days a week. I go to the gym or fitness classes 5 days a week. I dine indoors and visit bars twice a week. I fly twice a month.

And while I was a bit more careful during the January Omicron wave, I still did all of the above but at a lower frequency. And I’ve tested myself after exposures (of which I’ve had countless).

What’s even weirder is that I haven’t even had a fever or the sniffles since 2020, when I used to fall sick every other month pre pandemic. Maybe it’s because my office is much less crowded than it was in 2019? Or that there are just fewer colds in circulation?
There are a number of countries where atheism (as apostasy or blasphemy) is punishable by death: Afghanistan, Iran, Malaysia, Maldives, Mauritania, Nigeria, Pakistan, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Somalia, Sudan, United Arab Emirates and Yemen.

That kind of safety is not in the mind of any cyclist. How could it be?
Fastmail is based in Australia, which IIRC has a pretty dismal privacy situation, with laws that mandate they have to be able to decrypt user data and provide full access to user accounts when asked, plus zero standing for non-citizens. Might not be an issue for most since the Five Eyes get it all anyway etc. etc., but it was a showstopper for me. Last time I looked Mailbox.org seemed to be the best EU-domestic provider.
Natural selection produces good enough results. It does not necessarily produce optimal results.

If there is no evolutionary pressure either for or against biases, what you get is essentially random chance. That's the null hypothesis: "we just happened to wind up with biases, because evolutionary pressure didn't care either way".

I am asking you to explain what sorts of evolutionary pressure might select for these biases, because I'm not seeing it. Furthermore, I would like to know whether that still applies - if it was only useful to avoid being eaten by lions, great, but then dropping it now that we don't regularly confront lions isn't meaningfully "bad for you".
You need to start looking into the skillset necessary to get US pay without needing to be in the US - it's not an infinitely big market but it is there for the taking.

The Clean Energy Transition, A Guide (100 minutes read)
I think that gray listing is a great idea to filter out spam. Here's how it works: the very first time an email server get an email from a new IP it answers with a "temporary unavaiable" error. According to specs, a server should retry to deliver the email after a while, so a legitimate server will retry and it's IP will be put in a "withelist" (here in quotes because you can still do further processing of the emails to determine if it's good or bad). But a spammer will most likely not retry to send it, as their goal is to quickly send a big amount of mails.
I didn't try this personally as I'm not hosting my own emails (I tried but gave up soon), but I heard it works very well, no third party blocklist needed.

As a former vegetarian, I loved boca burgers as they were cheap and high in proteins and minimally processed.

The new fake meats aren’t that great over existing meat substitutes and I’m frustrated that their price is so high and has not been coming down over the years available. I don’t see these being viable as they cost more than beef.
Probably for the settings that give higher compression than LZ4
But most of the email recipients (and senders too) don't use ProtonMail either, so those won't be encrypted, and then ProtonMail can still turn over the messages. The ideal situation with this approach is that everyone uses ProtonMail (no decentralization at all), to have everything encrypted. While the ideal situation with OpenPGP is that everyone uses that, which allows for multiple independent mail servers.

Edit: or do they perhaps not store sent messages (that is, they have to queue them, and attempt resending on failure, but beyond that), and/or encrypt incoming ones with the user's public key upon arrival?

Edit 2: apparently the stored messages are indeed additionally encrypted by ProtonMail [1]. That looks useful.

Edit 3: now I wonder why not to do that with OpenPGP too.

Edit 4: looked around, apparently some do that. [2]

You are right but this just increases the cost of hiring a replacement and you can only ask for a raise if you show them a counter offer.
Vehicle-to-vehicle charging is starting to be a thing, and there's always the option of using another vehicle to tow you. (You could even use regenerative braking on the towed car to recharge the battery.)

Realistically, that's an extreme case and some ICE vehicles might break down too for whatever reason. In that situation if there's no other option you'd probably just ditch your car and get a ride from someone else.
According to the Bugzilla thread, Facebook won't bother going through the process of publishing standardized dictionaries.
C and C++ also only had proprietary compilers, mostly.

However both were born alongside UNIX and that helped C++ to be quickly adopted by all major C compiler vendors, whereas Ada was always something extra to pay on top.

When targeting UNIX, with C and C++ compilers on the box, who is going to pay extra for the Ada compiler unless required to do so?
I haven't seen it (I think).
Looking at its entry on Rotten Tomatoes, it appears to be one of those films where the newer reviews tend to be more positive.

Why would there be newish reviews anyway unless it's a film that's still attracting significant attention?
I've been driving an EV for over a year now. I don't have my own parking spot here in the city (one of the larger cities in Belgium) but there are around 10 public charging stations within walking distance of my house. Charging my car once a week by relying only on these public chargers has not been a problem so far. I think with the proper investment by the authorities this not a big problem.

I am a bit worried about the adoption of PHEVs though, as those tend to charge much more slowly and need to be recharged much more often than a full EV. I think it should be discouraged to get a PHEV if you do not have private charging infrastructure.
Revenue is not profit. Revenue - expenses is profit. You can pump your revenue as high as you want by selling dollar bills for 90 cents.
Is it really the case that people overvalue things in which they have put effort into?

I think the phrase is a misquote. I think the original quote is "if it compiles, it runs." Secifically for canonical, safe Rust. As in: "if it compiles it runs and does not explode in your face in a place you didn't expect."

After four years of Rust (and 25+ of C++) I find this very true for the former and rarely for the latter except in extremely simple programs.

And yes, this says nothing about correctness as far as what the code is intended to in the first place.

But you are wrong when saying this, too, applies to e.g. PHP or JS in this context. For the simple reason that they are dynamically typed alone. The class of errors/side effects that this enables is a whole different league.
Heck, I get sometimes overtaken by people riding illegal (in EU) ebikes on a bike path. Mine is heavy duty enough that it can maybe do 30 kph with leg power. Theirs do 45 kph and it's getting dangerous.

Mostly delivery people use those. The lanes are narrow, so if there's oncoming they would likely crash...

Of course it isn't. Archiving Trump's tweets would be in the public interest, but not Joe Blogg's. That's not what public interest means.
That is true if by project you mean the wikis online (Wiktionary, Wikisource, Wikiquote, Wikivoyage, Wikiversity, Wikinews, Wikispecies and so forth, most of which the public is largely unaware of).

I am less sure how much money presently goes on other projects in the conventional sense of the word "project". Guillaume Paumier, Principal Program Manager at the Wikimedia Foundation, once said:

-------------

And the fact is that, as a movement, we need as much money as we can get to advance our mission. Our vision is so ambitious and expansive that it is also bound to be inevitably expensive. This is something that the Board understood: shortly after endorsing the Strategic Direction in 2017, they directed the Foundation to prepare to raise more funds than usual, to be able to move towards our collective vision for 2030. [2] My fellow members of the working group on Revenue Streams for movement strategy also understood the scope of the movement's ambitions: the first guiding question for our work was how to "maximize revenue for the movement".

People who attended the meeting of strategy working groups in Berlin in early 2018 might remember a thought exercise led by the Revenue Streams group. In it, we estimated that coming closer to our vision would probably require an annual budget for the movement in the vicinity of a billion dollars. There is nothing intrinsically outrageous about that amount, as long as the money advances the mission efficiently and equitably. The International Committee of the Red Cross had a global budget of $1.6 billion in 2016."

When he's talking about how we would like to have $1 billion a year, that seems to me to indicate that they envision a role for themselves that goes well beyond maintaining a few websites. And most of that money is supposed to come from Wikipedia fundraising ... yet there is not a word about this in the fundraising messages.
You seem hostile. Not sure if it's your intention, but ease up.

> So did you lie about your address on the credit card application? If not, that’s how the bank knows you don’t live in the US and that’s why you were rejected.

I didn't lie on anything, and frankly a bit offended you would even assume such. I travel back and forth to the US, often. My home address (one of the properties my family owns, and where I lived my entire childhood) is the one I use on everything US related. It's my actual physical address in the US.

People can have multiple residences across countries. Is that "simple" enough to understand?
The issue is almost certainly that if the model is racist, it's cause it was trained on racist data. Which is 100% a real thing that happens.

What I disagree with is the idea that it means we can learn nothing from or should not disseminate the model. We need to correct our mistakes!

And also, maybe we need a model that can identify racist content if we want to identify racist content better?
you might be able to easily outsource some/most of the containers to a rpi/server/vps and save some ram.
And since about half of all game codebase are compiled with -fnoexcept... that means we are left assuming that all library calls may randomly crash or corrupt the stack
The “secret sauce” for deliverability is _volume_. If you don’t send enough emails from your servers to each major email provider (at least 100 emails per day to each of these) you do not even show up in their reputation scoring systems which means whatever you do, you do not accumulate positive reputation score for your actions. Not an issue to get to that volume if you’re even a small ISP but quite complicated for these guys who manage only their own email.

Because invoking Godwin's Law tends to shut down discussion rather than further it. It also undermines your own argument because choosing such a jarring example makes it harder for the reader to interpret your argument as having been made in good faith, which is a shame because overall I think your point is correct.
Back here in the real world, not some nihilistic invented one, thousands of people risk their lives to save strangers after a disaster. We have entire careers dedicated to it (firefighting, mountain rescue and such). We also know regular people just do this spontaneously, especially after catastrophes - look at the 9/11 first responders, look at efforts after an earthquake or tsunami.

Far from "everyone fends for themselves", most disasters tend to bring people together, at least in the immediate aftermath.
I fully expect the term “artist” to soon include “orchestrators of algorithms” (depending on who you ask), and something like a cultural war defending “classical” turf against algorithmic encroachment. This article could be part of it.
In the US (which I think is where the author hails from) there's fewer atheists represented in congress than Muslims. (in fact technically none, only one or two members identify as 'non-observant'. That's fairly astonishing given that atheism or some form of secularism is probably the pluralistic, if not majority position among people with the kind of education status who get elected to that representative body.
It’s not a drop in replacement. It doesn’t taste like meat and it’s expensive.

Everyone I know has tried it and no one has replaced meat in their diet. I know some vegetarians who use them.

If we had a drop in, then I agree with you. But fake meats aren’t going to do it. I think it’s better to have more realistic health campaigns and subsidies.

I suspect this is just these new fake meat startups spending PR to get subsidies set up.
It's simplistic for a spammer to tell if mail is getting delivered to end point. EG, just have a gmail account, and spam that account. Simple. Done.

Breaking reliable mail delivery for everyone, is inline with "there's no excuse, ever". It's inline with "making it worse", not better.

If you 250 accept, you deliver the email. Worst case, it ends up in a spam folder. You do not drop it on the floor. Ever. No excuse, no reason is valid here.

And I certainly won't accept "But it's so hard!", considering how easy it is to handle email, including SPAM, for everyone... until Google purposefully breaks it.
isnt that the problem that ended up in hindenburg? helium in that case was found to be safer but that was the unfortunate straw
GMail understands ARC ("Authenticated Relay Chain"), a technology that signs a chain of deliveries, which is supposed to allow the right party to be blamed for spam. I don't know if any of these email forwarders respect ARC signature chains, but it would obviously be to their benefit if ARC's attributions were more widely recognised.

Cf. https://www.dmarcanalyzer.com/arc-is-here/

Postscript: Neither the Improvmx nor Mailgun sites have easily found information about ARC. It's a relatively complex and not widely used technology; nonetheless, the point I made about its adoption being in their interests stands.
The obvious question is - if you are a holder of one of the named prestigious awards, why on Earth would you want to move to the UK in the current situation?

I left the UK after the results of the Brexit referendum were published in 2016 and that was one of the best decisions of my life...
It's better that we see what kinds of things we could have without oppressive copyright laws and be upset when they are taken from us than for people to refuse to start cool projects just because they are doomed to be shutdown.

That seems like an odd argument to be making in a discussion about a cool project someone made despite it infringing copyright. Maybe copyright laws don't put people off in the way that you're claiming they do.
I had covid, pretty mild, flu was worse.
