This is an interesting question! I’ve never personally seen anything intentionally for solving this - but I’m curious what your angle is. Are you looking for a solution to your problem by seeking a relevant problem/solution in the other field? Or potentially looking for product/market fit in other fields?

Richard Feynman touches on this a bit when he starts doing some work related to biology (iirc).

As an individual id recommend gaining a broad exposure to different fields whenever possible. Maybe websites like phys.Org (science news aggregator) or big journals like Nature/Science could help (thinking specifically Review articles rather than research publications).
Also if you have any exposure to a research institution getting to know graduate students could possibly help (easier said than done!)

Lastly, I personally have the impression that the field of neuroscience is very broad and may be of relevance/interest to you. There is a lot of computation involved and people draw from diverse academic backgrounds - wouldn’t be surprised if ultrasound is used in neuroscience research but not sure (I am not a neuroscientist but my SO is)

Addendum: I’m not a Twitter user but perhaps “science Twitter” could help you gain exposure to problems being faced in other fields.

Good luck

Can you elaborate on Lyn Alden? I don’t know enough to comment on her expertise, but I do know that dismissing someone as being trivially wrong on basically any topic is often a sign of not understanding the person’s arguments.
"Strictly better" means something like: better in one or more way, and not worse in any way.

I don't think you can say that here.

"This is public domain" is better than CC0 in jurisdictions where "this is public domain" is meaningful. Particularly if accompanied by a statement indicating that users are free to reproduce, broadcast and use the work in any manner. The problem is that work can be assigned to the public domain at the copyright level, without users having the license to use its patents and trademarks.

CC0 is better than "this is public domain" in jurisdictions where the latter is invalid, because its fallback license is better than none at all.

As a separate topic, the CC0 (https://creativecommons.org/publicdomain/zero/1.0/legalcode) is idiotically verbose. The BSD license is small enough that I can put it into every source file. That makes it easy for people to borrow pieces of a program.

Weird, I have never played a game with lootboxes nor have I had to even think about avoiding it. Only supports my point that your fear of it affecting you is unfounded in reality.

Except I didn't say make your own, I said pick from the variety of competitors. Who are you to dictate what a third party does, especially when that third party's decisions are well liked by their customers? I don't want the "freedom" to put in cheap aftermarket parts in my high end device, I want it to work extremely well and it does.
I'm surprised he's allowed to compete at that level anymore, especially in online tournaments. I'd think that would disqualify you permanently.

I suppose there are examples of athletes in other sports who've been caught cheating and not kicked out of the sport. But one way in which those examples are different than this one is that in online chess, cheating could mean essentially letting a computer do everything for you. In other sports, for example baseball, a player who takes performance enhancers still has to play the game. Online chess allows for complete cheating, in other words.
Self-reply/tangent/rant -- I really miss the lighter web of the 90s/early 2000s.

My picture of the ideal internet is surely boring. This is probably an overshooting response to being absolutely desensitized by the current internet

Depends who you are, I think.

I'm watching this space like a hawk. Though I code for a living it's too different from this work and I can't personally do the stuff I need with it, but that stuff is continually happening (if I wasn't based on M1 Mac I might be a little farther along, but I think I'd still be running into obstacles based on how technical all this is)

I've put out an album, pretty recently, based on my collaboration with a modular synthesizer running systems that let it aleatorically generate chords, key changes etc. and you probably would not know the 'machine' wrote the chords for the whole album.

The place where Stable Diffusion becomes interesting for me is when I can feed my own styles and objects into it. Right now, I don't think that's facilitated for me on my M1 Mac in my relatively nontechnical world: I can run DiffusionBee, and explore the ranges of the dataset's collective visual unconscious. I'm learning how to do much more interesting things than 'trending on Artstation, 8k, etc etc etc'.

I have curated collections of images to which I can apply my own language cues, and a 440 episode webcomic that I could annotate the hell out of (my OWN art, not currently even on the internet), and the ability to feed not just 4-5 images but dozens, hundreds of images into the machine.

At that point, it's a private visual imagination that becomes ME diffusion, and I don't have to tell it 'trending on artstation' anymore. Hell, I could teach my copy a whole set of associations based on just feeding its own output back into it, using my own intuition to associate not-generally-useful concepts like 'cold' or 'loud' or 'disappointed' considered as visual abstractions.

If I can reliably associate 'anticipatory' with visual stimuli, I can begin using it as direction for my own use of SD, telling it that I want this panel more 'anticipatory' or less. If I can feed in a language of panels and borders that has variety and I'm able to associate it with language, I can use SD to generate comic panels with the associations 'unsettling' or 'normal' or 'dramatic' and composite them into final output.

Bear in mind that engaging in this behavior means ME feeding in the associations that are relevant to ME as an artist, effectively making an auxiliary visual subconscious much like I made a modular synth into an auxiliary musical composition subconscious.

No, I'm not bored. If you're bored, maybe you're not an artist? Or maybe you don't have a firm intention and motivation towards which to direct your art?

These things should be like a violin. You can give one to any shmoe off the street, but ability to perform on the thing does not come along with just picking it up and plunking at it. I'm convinced that in order to make visual AI a tool you absolutely must let the artist feed in their own associations, concepts, objects etc. and then direct the output towards their own ends.
Slippery slope fallacy. Wake me up when it actually happens because it never does.
No and it's not worth you maintaining it.
Hans has a documented history of cheating, for which he has been previously banned. That's good enough for me.

Apple's own code also implements all the security of the device. The mechanism Apple has to run arbitrary untrusted code on the device is their JavaScript engine. Whatever you want to replace JSC with, like V8, isn't the thing that's constrained by the sandbox, it's the thing that implements the sandbox.

Everyone who's like "just sandbox it" -- yeah that's exactly what JSC is for.

The problem is that you said you're not athletic or not a conditioned athlete, then described exactly what it takes to become a conditioned athletic person - dedication to training and putting in the mileage.

Anyone that can run a half marathon every weekend and 30km+ during the week is almost by definition athletic. Yes, nearly anyone can achieve this with the dedication it takes, but that doesn't change the fact you're being overly humble about your own athleticism.

It's like someone saying "I'm not an engineer, and am not particularly good at math or physics, but I studied 3 days a week and got an engineering degree and now I work at an engineering firm and can solve most math and physics problems."
I played the prologue. The new engine is great although I'm still not convinced by the art style. It's not horrible by any means but I don't find it as charming as MI2 and MI3.
A lot of analysts put excessive weight on interest rate activity. Especially when rates start rising into reasonable territory (closer to the inflation rate), the effect tapers. For example, if the Fed raised rates to 100% tomorrow, it would be almost the same economic effect as if they raised it to 1000%. It would essentially just stop all borrowing in the affected channels and cause banks to reduce lending to the point where they don't find themselves needing to take a reserve loan and pay that rate.

Arthur Hayes did an entertaining write-up of some of the other factors the Fed can use, two of which are either not being leveraged or actively conflicting with the interest rate hikes [0]. We could guess at political motivations for going soft on inflation until the election (while appearing to be hard on inflation) and then really ramping it up (including finally reducing the Fed's balance sheet and ramping up reverse repo sizes) in November when inflation continues, predictably, because the Fed keeps expanding its balance sheet and interest rates are still low (relative to most of its history).

How to Calculate and Analyze Code Churn Rate?
The funny thing is that at this level, if a player is told they are losing or winning in a very complex position, they are often capable of figuring out how they are losing or winning precisely. The bits of information a top player needs to cheat are so few that for the average viewer it is inconceivable.
I think you are wrong, people think a lot about repair costs, which is why Apple Care sells so good. If people didn't think of repair, why would they buy Apple Care?

When the back glass on my iPhone X broke, I stopped buying iPhones. Authorized service providers would have charged more for repairing the device than it costs on the second hand market, and 3rd party repair shops would probably do a half assed job because it is so difficult to do.

It's really ridiculous that the part that breaks most easily is hardest to repair.

I ended up buying an Android with a plastic back, and I kind of hate some parts of it, but I also hate that iPhones are so fucking fragile.

If you've eliminated transportation and heating that is #1 and #2 for most people's energy consumption. Third place would likely be air-conditioning, and you've eliminated that too.
Do you really think this is that? Magnus is far from "aged out" of competitive chess.
This is analogous to track and field or pro cycling, and it robs us of the ability to believe in the underdog.

iPhone 14 Pro Camera Shakes and Vibrates Uncontrollably in Some Apps
I'll see you that and raise you all of those things exist in the world, have been made possible at scale by "technology", have rendered most institutions at best ineffectual and frequently actively harmful, has atomized society to the point we've got literal Nazis (miss me with the conservative crocodile tears, I'm talking capital N Nazis) occupying space in public discourse again, and have provided cover for every form of abuse/exploitation/manipulation known to man over the last 40 years. In the face of all of that the most common argument in favor is "innovation" which in practice means a thing that saves a trip to the store or a different thing that shits all over already low wage workers working conditions.
What is the prevailing analysis odd the Sinquefield Cup game that Magnus lost?

The EU preserving the rights of people to steal your phone and sell it for parts would go well with their trying to preserve the rights of people installing malware on it.
You made assertions. I did not. We have a well established free speech tradition. It’s on you to prove why a place of education should shut down civil discourse that you don’t like.
Same here! :-)
I think you might be looking wrong at how big an accomplishment it is to be in top 3 or 4% of random sample of people in a field where a lot of people do it recreationally.

All running events I took part look more or less like this -- there is a line of a dozen or two dozen "serious" people and then there is hundreds or thousands of people that are just doing it for fun.

If you put a random sample of drivers on a track, the person that is half percentile from the top result would still be an amateur with poor result by any possible standard.

Or, think in terms of Settlers of Catan. If you've red any strategy tutorial on how you should properly play it to win the game you are probably in the top 0.1% of players. Does it make you special? Does it make you a professional player? Most certainly not...

I think it is true for a lot of fields, including running, that if you are trying at all, putting any effort, you immediately jump to top percent or two of all participants.
> There are many legitimate use cases of VPN's

Yes of course, but that probably represents less than 10% of the customers (I'm being extremely generous on purpose, it's probably 0.1%) of your usual NordVPN and co.

> don't do false advertising such as Windscribe

"Stop tracking and browse privately" and "block annoying advertisers from stalking you online" proves you wrong. VPNs don't stop trackers.

> don't do false advertising such as Mullvad

"Evade hackers and trackers". Sure.

> don't do false advertising such as iVPN

Hey looks good actually, they indeed don't claim to block trackers or anything else, just change your IP / geolocation.
People who are driving drunk are doing so at a time when their judgment is impaired. Driving drunk can get the driver killed, so if that's not enough of a deterrent it seems like the chance of getting caught and sent to prison isn't going to work either.
Anyone knows what game engine it's using? Is this Unity?
I don't buy that Apple repairs are a loss given that third-party repairs can still be profitable at lower prices, but even if they are, it doesn't mean AppleCare is a loss vs making users pay per repair.

Good gawd, that's some horrible video coverage. The commentators are not even talking about the game at hand. The person blabbering on has to be interrupted and told what has happened. The actual players are but a side bar to whatever this commentary is.

This was not a good introduction for me to this world.
New Data Reveals Which States Will Experience the Most Heat Waves
Yeah, he has been accurate. But he's also been screaming that China is going to collapse within this year, which seems very far fetched.

I use uMatrix and set javascript to off by default. I also set _all access_ off by default. Direct access, cookies, CSS, images, media, javascript, cross-site requests, frames, "other" such as webgl. They're all off-by-default.

The direct connection prevents me from going to a site with a homonym url (such as g00gle.com).

I turn each thing on one-at-a-time until the site works enough for me.

80% of the time, _nothing_ is needed other than the connection to download html. Plenty of sites' text show up just fine and is perfectly legible without any CSS, images, or javascript.

Sometimes a site will talk about image content. Then I'll enable images and CSS. 95% of sites work like that just fine.

The last 5%? Usually they work with javascript and without cookies. I rarely go that far. Those last 5% sites rarely bring true value with their use of javascript.

Then there's the last .1% of sites that "need" the whole shebang. Those shites are rarely encountered.

I'm in exactly the same position. My memory is awful so I write notes to my future self. It's not hard to keep comments up to date if you keep them near the code and don't use a lot of boilerplate.
Wood is an option, but it will require a lot of wood to fire Europe's bakeries.
This looks like to have been an online tournament. Makes sense for Magnus to resign if he strongly believes that his opponent was in fact cheating.
Aiming at the wrong goal. A "10kw society" on solar or nuclear is better than "2kw society" on coal.
> Looking by analogy at big Hollywood movies, movie studios often release their own "behind the scenes" video clips

And Rockstar releases those too [0]. The difference is those are all clips they vetted and chose to release. Hollywood also gets very upset about unapproved leaks. Even something as simple as an actor posting an Instagram selfie on a set they weren't supposed to photograph.

The issue is there isn't even a cheating accusation. Magnus conceded here and quit another tournament but hasn't actually said he thinks Hans is cheating.
If you are coordinating the incompetence then you are malicious even if the incompetent are not.
I think that the underlying emotional state against such "subsidies" is a feeling of unfairness. That someone is being allowed to "cheat" and violate the rules of the game you have obeyed. There are probably many factors behind this framing, and different blends among the population.

But, I think one big factor is that our modern consumer advertising and pop-culture environment has nurtured a kind of jealous relativism. Insecurity and desire are programmed in. The pervasive "Keeping up with the Joneses" turns everything into a zero-sum competition. There is _no_ place for contentment and satisfaction, no place of security from which to offer relief. There is no such thing as the tide raising all boats, when you are all treading water and those splashing around you threaten your next breath...

Edit: added missing _no_ above!
Strong belief that a 19 year old who has already been caught cheating twice would cheat again is hardly a mental breakdown.
I literally don’t see it and don’t care. I’m there for the chicken videos and Hold My Cosmo.

I know for a fact that the induction cooktop is the epitome of efficiency. Virtually every watt that passes through the switching electronics and coils winds up somewhere in the cookware.

I've got a Breville control freak and a 750w microwave oven as my emergency cooking gear for when I am stuck on solar battery backup.
> The pandemic created a situation where a lot of people could (and did) get their first real increase in wages in decades.

Er, no. See https://fred.stlouisfed.org/series/LES1252881600Q.

Real wages are up since 1980, with a particular spike beginning in Q1 2017 and ending in Q2 2020.

The onset of lockdowns clearly began a _decline_ in real wages.

Mining never ends, but the inflationary aspect does [0]. At which point, bitcoin will become unprofitable for most miners and they will shut down. A few who can remain profitable, from the transaction fees alone, will stick around and the end result is that energy usage will drop significantly. Unless, of course, miners vote in another consensus model before then (unlikely).

This is a big reason why there is such a huge land grab of new miners coming online right now and a huge increase in power usage. It also solidifies the monetary policy imho. Once emissions stop, it'll become even harder to obtain what BTC is left and as long as it stays desirable for its intrinsic value (imho, that is digital gold... its store of value), people will want it.

Don't forget that while 19m have been emitted, millions of that are locked up forever and will continue to get locked up over time (things like people who die suddenly without leaving access to their private keys). Thus, there is actually a lot less than 21m BTC that'll ever be available.

͡° ͜ʖ ͡° at the halving chart on that website. I usually don't think that past performance indicated future results... but come on... this is just obvious financial cycles. If you haven't already, you'd do well to buy $100 of bitcoin and just sit on it.

My memory is hazy, but I remember busy-waiting being a common theme in that code. There was no sleep. I didn't sleep either.
As a happy Framework user, the selling point for me is upgrading, not repairing, the device. To be able upgrade to a new mobo, processor, memory module, or port, without having to buy a whole new device is incredible. As such, I am not planning on buying a new laptop for a loooong time. Clearly the iPhone is not taking that approach - it's repair only, which is not nearly as exciting.
