Sure, but the danger is that they just tune based on return rate without any consideration of quality standards. Amazon has shown they are more than willing to mix merchant inventory and allow unlimited streams of counterfeit merchandise which undermines all third party merchant reputations. This is problematic because a manufacturer / merchant has more time / expertise / money to chip away at quality until it's just barely good enough to not get returned within a limited window. Ideally you want brands / manufacturers to care about quality, but if there is no means to establish a reputation then it's just a race to the bottom.

Agreed. The value is in being able to know _what_ to search in conjunction with knowing _how_ to compose the amalgamated resources together to derive a solution to the question at hand -- all in a timely manner.

Simply knowing a generic fact (e.g. "the Civil War began in 1861" or "the atomic mass of Oxygen is 15.999u") is not sufficient. One needs to know how to use that information.

I think a lot of the reason is that most previous incarnations of multiple dispatch give you slow multiple dispatch, and a different way to define functions that don't have multiple dispatch and are faster to call. As such MD tends not to be commonly used in languages where it exists. Julia isn't the first to have multiple dispatch, but it is the first where everything is multiple dispatch. The result of this is that we put in a ton of work to make multiple dispatch fast, and all the APIs are designed around it, which gives a very different feel to the language.

The transition to BEVs may require more grid capacity, but BEVs also add a _lot_ of storage to the grid, which can reduce the impact of peak demand events. In circumstances like this, car owners can opt to discharge their batteries into the grid and be paid higher-than-normal rates for that energy.

California is already experimenting with these programs, e.g.: https://www.utilitydive.com/news/california-approves-117m-ve...

Even without vehicle-to-grid programs, electric car owners can already choose to charge later at night when the demand peak has passed (and power is cheaper).

Ask HN: Does your Safari also get this annoying bug?
Does iOS Safari also crash on your iPhone ?

About a month ago I got this weird crash on safari. Everything was working fine.
I was just searching on duckduckgo and all of a sudden I get this [0], [1].
"A problem repeatedly ocurred on $URL"
Now all my safari tabs crashed. I hit refresh, I change the url. I go to any other website and it still shows the error.

Killing the app does not work. Maybe something to do with webkit ?
The only thing that worked the first time was installing the latest iOS update (15.6), I had 14.x.something before.

Search engine: duckduckgo

But the problem is that this issue is very weird. Some apple forums said that disabling javascript would restore Safari. It kinda did.

The first time this happened, it did not work and as mentioned before, o ly a full software update worked.

But guess what ? This bug happened to me today. Which means it has nothing to do with the new ios 15 update. This means it is weirdly reproducible. I don't know what I did or how it happened but it happened again.
And for some reason, now disabling javascript worked like a charm and them re-enabling it un-killed the bug. Why ? I don't know.

Also, does anyone know about how to go report this bug to Apple ?

Thanks

Dall-E 2 and then Imagen took the cake with AI art tools, but they were closed APIs. Things were actually good enough to be generally interesting. Before this, img2img / txt2img / etc weren't very interesting.

Stable Diffusion is the first open source tool, and it doesn't require a zillion GB of RAM. so anyone can download it to their computer, and it's getting hacked on and improved on at a faster rate. IIRC there's a good version of the model down to 4 GiB and it runs on M1 CPUs now, making it accessible to an actually pretty large group of people.

I’ve used those MacBook airs before and those weak dual core CPUs really don’t have much beef to them, and the screens are these 1440x900 TN panels (not sure about the vertical resolution) which was low spec even for the time.

I couldn't get the app to work on my phone, but from that video it looks like you might have made the cells update one-at-a-time in reading order, whereas in Conway's Game of Life the board is supposed to update all at once.

You fix this by having one 2d array to store the current state of the board, and then you have a second array in which you calculate what each cell is going to be on the next generation. Once you've calculated all the new cells you replace the first array with the second.

This is such a classic mistake that we even have a name for it: NaiveLife (https://conwaylife.com/wiki/Naive).
The 2 biggest problems with Matlab are price and lack of community. The price is an issue even if you can afford it because it makes it really hard to deploy widely since anyone who wants to run the code also needs to be paying Mathworks. This closely ties in to the community issue. Almost all Matlab libraries are proprietary (and written by MathWorks). If you find a bug, your only option is to file a report and wait 3 years for it to not get fixed. In an open source ecosystem, you can dig into the code and fix the problem yourself if you need to.
I'm not sure how the heck you jumped from "drive motorcycles" to "drive cars".

Driving cars would be minor and apply to almost everyone, so it would mostly cancel out and be negligible. Really it would be a slight discount for taking transit, and that seems... fine to me.

And those other ones aren't even notable risk factors.
So, funny second hand story. Google’s accountants were using third party software hosted on GAE. They bitched to the third part about how the downtime of the software was unacceptable. The third party pointed out that each instance mentioned was a documented GAE outage.

Not really, webdev is a pain just as much as making a native Windows app or Go binary. Programming is bullshit all the way down. The moment you try to do anything correct in absolutely any modern software stack or framework, you will have to do a bunch of hacks to indirectly force stuff into doing what's needed for your program to be correct. Of course in practice everyone just skips this part, contributing to the said problem.

The pointer ‘g_Globals’ is a 4-byte pointer- seen multiple times in the main module.

Opening ‘g_Globals’ in memory and browsing through the pointers accessed above such as 0x0C91C brings us to a custom array type containing hundreds of strings.

Taking a look through the struct type and looking back at the array iteration code, wrote a basic structure and dumped all blacklisted processes:

The proposed system is about who has the rights to post something, and a delay while that's figured out. However /nobody/ has the right to post cp, as it is /always/ illegal.

It is possible for something to mistakenly be identified as CP, so you're right there. I'm arguing based on your original supposition that it /is/ CP.

As far as I know, nobody banned wood stoves in the US in order to transition to gas. People transitioned to the better option of gas themselves. As it is now, gas is a better option than electric not just for heat but for other appliances too (cooking, drying, hot water). This is why you want to ban gas. When/if electric appliances become better than gas people will switch to them naturally, without any need for regulation. The same way they switched from horses to cars and from burning wood to burning gas.

I don’t think that explanation is correct. The torque curve of a steam engine peaks at 0rpm and slopes down from there. The engine is simply decelerating to the point where it’s torque is balanced with the force of gravity on the incline.
First, I did not find any statistical test in the paper. The sample size is not relevant.

Further the power of a test already required you to know two parameters: variance and the size of the effect your testing for (difference between means). Proctorio is very careful in not claiming any effectiveness for detecting cheaters, how will you estimate these parameters?

Also iirc, the rule of thumb was for a normal distribution 30 samples is enough for decent strength, 40 samples is enough for general distributions unless you're looking at very small effects, weird distributions or in very noisy experiments.

> can offload the responsibilities related to any cheating

Maybe we can reframe the issue. Why is it the administration's problem? When I went to college, I went there to learn engineering. I didn't really care about the degree. I was paying to have the prof teach me, not check me for cheating.

Me, I'd make no effort to detect cheaters. If they want to pay $$$$$ to attend university, not bother doing any work, and cheat, I'll take their money.

Make it like guitar lessons. People pay to learn how to play. There's just no percentage in cheating, because you can't play.

The cheaters will see their jobs outsourced, and my salary will be higher.

P.S. In college, lots of students were always doing engineering projects on their own and with their own money. For example, a couple of EEs designed and built a pirate radio station. I wanted to learn how to do that stuff. Cheating is just no fun. And if you don't learn anything, the other students will notice that, and will have nothing but contempt for you.
