I honestly wish that people wouldn't put out rubbish analysis like this.

>his conclusion is there is no reason whatsoever to suspect him of cheating.

No. His conclusion is that based on this really weird brute force statistical analysis there is no statistical indicator that he cheated.

Firstly, how you can state there's no reason whatsoever to suspect him of cheating is absurd. You know he has a previous record of cheating so as a starting point that statement is absurd. But secondly and more importantly, no one is suggesting that Neimann is a moron. We're not saying he's a 1200 ELO lucking out against a grand master. Any account of Neimann cheating is going to include the fact that he's already a very good chess player - he's not going to be cheating through his matches with any average player. And as other GMs have pointed out, cheating could literally involve 1 advantageous decision at a key point in a match.

What we have here is very simple. Neimann was quasi-accused of cheating in 1 match, and this genius has gone off and analysed thousands of other matches and come to the conclusion that there's no statistical evidence of cheating. A methodology that is basically designed to ensure almost no one could ever be proven to be cheating using this method.
Which honestly makes it impressive, especially given that the whole project is only 354 LOC.
IQ scores? Really? Should we look at the correlation to phrenology reports and the subjects balance of humours as well?
Which companies? Unless you mean websites and not the ISPs themselves, in which case, fair.

my big discovery was that for the sorts of workloads that our customers were using 99% consisted of just 4 operations

Those are the same operations that most if not all of even the very cheapest "2D-only" integrated graphics are capable of, starting from the early 90s up to today.

This may be true, but it wouldn't make the software less damming. It'd show that there are enough brokers in the spying business for cronyism to also play a factor.
You're overcomplicating the methodology. Let's map out a few numbers:

A: Number of crime victims armed
B: Number of crime victims unarmed
C: Victims of ones own gun (who don't already fall into category B)

D = B-A+C means D is the number of people who were not the victim of violence and those only difference is that they were armed. This is because D is goes up as A gets smaller than B, provided guns don't simply lead to self-harm. D/(A+B) gives us a handy percentage we can use to contextualize this difference.
"Looks like... nasty weather."

I remember playing Journeyman Project 2 and being so confused by it all. Time travel, aliens, disguises? Fascinating game.
Heh, I started coding (in python) when I was about 15. One of my nerdy interests that motivated it was "historical" crypto (vigenère, etc). But another one of the first things I wrote was a script that would factor quadratic equations for me, in order to do my math homework for me. I really hated that kind of repetitive homework, where every night for weeks on end we'd have 25 equations to factor or whatever, even when I had already "gotten it".

It was pretty dumb, using the exact "algorithms" we were taught to do it by hand. It would even "show the work" so I could transcribe it. In the end, it probably took as much time to input the homework into the program, and then transcribe all the answers, making sure to fake it so it looked like I did the work, as just doing the homework. Not to mention actually writing the program, but that part was really fun. I remember turning on a small night light when I was supposed to be past bed time so I could scribble down algorithms or solutions to bugs on a piece of paper so I could implement them the next day.

If I had been a bit smarter, I might have realized that I could have used a CAS that already existed. Not sure if there were many open-source ones (that could run on windows) back then (2003-2004) though, just looked and sympy was released in 2007.
The scarier thing to me is when ads match _conversations_ I have with my wife. I told her about this story this morning, and she reminded me about a conversation about stem cell research we had yesterday. I said something along the lines of 'I hope there is a breakthrough soon on regenerating the Isle of Langerhans in the pancreas to treat diabetes.' Sure enough, she noticed an article in her Google News feed later that day related to diabetes.

Once or twice may be a coincidence. Maybe. But this happens regularly and with startling specificity.

What could be listening? I'm a technologist like the rest of you. I know apps need permissions to the mic, I know it's not easy for an app to stay in the foreground. Is it my Roku? My smart TV?

Makes one want to go full Richard Stallman.

p.s. my wife just said it would be really funny if Google News showed an article now on people worrying about their tech listening to their conversations. I'll post an update if that happens...
Yes, I subscribe to Dean Bubley and he is a very useful corrective to the telco boosterism on things like overselling 5G, network slicing, the dumpster fire that is RCS and so on.

Still, it's important that latency is top of mind for the designers of 5G, as it gets short shrift far too often.
Yes, it’s possible. If you have an android device, it’s possible your device (or a ‘bad app’) is sending signals too.

An easy way to test is by talking about something (but not researching it) that’ll put you “in market” for advertising targeting.

You must say things to show you’re in-market. Eg. “I really want to buy a new AWD pick up truck” — include some brand names and specifics, which will give the spy device more confidence about the ads to show you, something like “Toyota Tundras seem better than the Ford F150, but maybe I should get the Hummer EV truck”.

Try variations of this “conversation” a few times over 2 days to help give the ML model confidence. Then, monitor ads on social media, pre-roll ads and new ephemeral recommendation tiles on YT that suddenly feature videos on this topic.
The article linked says this:

> Even after the launch, there is much to do. Next to my screen there's a stack of post-it notes with future improvements, possible features and technical debt I need to solve. As mentioned in the announcement last week, after the launch I will also work on controller support for PC and Steam Deck.
Politicians have arranged to be well-insulated from what soccer moms want. Soccer moms, meanwhile, are what we call a "managed population". They vote as they are told to. Not just them, of course.

We are living in the world Edward Bernays built, where democracy holds vanishingly little sway as PR machinery reliably generates votes for whatever whoever pays it wants.

Sometimes opposing payers compete.
But that's literally the situation. He did beat Magnus, claims that he happened to study deep into a fairly esoteric line that Magnus played, then seemed unfamiliar with the variations of it when asked about it in a later interview. Magnus seems to think Neimann's coach - another cheater - got information about Magnus' team's preparation.
Those are two different things.. Nothing to balance about. But put it in a graph or drawing, and it means it's true and supported by 'science'

Pointer tagging is still spiritually an integer (i.e. mask off the bits you guarantee the tags are in via alignment) versus (say) the pointer being multiple addresses into different bits of different types of memory and tags insert other stuff here.
No. It’s a completely different graphic stack.

Navigate Your Open Source Project Along the Hype Curve
I think you partly may just be biased by happening to notice ads more if they fit the topic you sent to your wife or being lenient in deciding if ads meet the categorization. And if you dwell on an ad because it seems to match, you may get more similar ads.

Here is how I think you could design a more robust (but less fun) experiment:

- Come up with a bunch of topics, write them down on slips of paper, put the paper into a hat

- Each Monday, draw three topics from the hat, send some WhatsApp messages about the first, Messenger messages about the second, and don’t discuss the third. Don’t put the topics back in the hat.

- If you see any ads relating to one of the topics, screenshot them and save screenshots to eg your computer with a bit of the topic

- Separately, record which topic went to which platform

- After doing this for a while, go through the screenshots and (each of you and your wife or ideally other people) give a rating for how well the ad matches the topic. To avoid bias, you shouldn’t know which app saw the topic.

- Now work out average ratings / the distribution across the three products (WhatsApp vs Messenger vs none) and compare
The wording in the summary could have been done better. Read casually, it comes across as suggesting causation instead of correlation:

Findings -- In this prospective birth cohort study, fluoride exposure during pregnancy was associated with lower IQ scores in children aged 3 to 4 years.

Meaning -- Fluoride exposure during pregnancy may be associated with adverse effects on child intellectual development, indicating the possible need to reduce fluoride intake during pregnancy.
> it's difficult to imagine what kind of new physics would let someone fit that many bytes into a machine that's practical to control with a single Linux kernel instance.

I nominally agree with most of your post. But I should note that modern systems seem to be moving towards a "one pointer space" for the entire cluster. For example, 8 GPUs + 2 CPUs would share the same virtual memory space (GPU#1 may take one slice, GPU#2 takes another, etc. etc.).

This allows for RDMA (ie: mmap across Ethernet and other networking technologies). If everyone has the same address space, then you can share pointers / graphs between nodes and the underlying routing/ethernet software will be passing the data automatically between all systems. Its actually quite convenient.

I don't know how the supercomputer software works, but I can imagine that 4000 CPUs + 16000 GPUs all sharing the same 64-bit address space.
If you had to bring one thing on a jog for protection it should be a well trained dog. It can deter, warn, and respond to an attack. A concealed carry only does the last thing, increase your ability to respond to an attack. Also, the dog is arguable a more enjoyable companion on the run. Counter argument would be that the dog is a lot of maintenance.

An open carry in addition to the dog would probably keep you safe outside a war zone.
> I think we should go back to a transactional mix-and-match style of politics, with different coalitions per issue, instead of the "agree with your friend tribe and disagree with your enemy tribe about everything" style that we seem to be locked into these days.

There is a way to get there: it's changing our voting method.

Single-choice, first-past-the-post, winner-take-all voting is effectively guaranteed to result in a two-party system.

There are a number of alternative voting systems, and all of them that I've heard of have flaws, but Ranked Choice Voting is one of the better ones, and seems to be gaining some traction recently in a few places.

If you really want to break our political duopoly, push for Ranked Choice Voting at every level you have influence over. It'll be easier the more local you get, and the more jurisdictions adopt it, the easier it will be to get others to do the same.
Russian defense industry - and pretty much every other Russian industry - is wholly dependent on western parts, tools, software, and know-how. Notice how Russia is forced to buy drones from Iran - even China refuses to provide them with technology at this point.
Ironically, I just ran into this phrase last week while reading an anthropology paper from the 90's ("Maya Hackers and the Cyberspatialized Nation-State: Modernity, Ethnostalgia, and a Lizard Queen in Guatemala")

Whenever I hear this phrase it reminds me the part in the book Cryptonomicon where the pretentious humanities professor feels so clever for asking "How many slums will we bulldoze to build the Information Superhighway?"
And setting PIN? It’s kept within the phone’s secured memory (but NOT stored properly in the secured memory of desktops’ three main OSes).

PIN is Not easy to extract in phone OSes, digital forensically or not, except perhaps with a rubber hose.

Sure, PIN may not delayed at bad guesses. But PIN is only there to prevent casual borrower from changing Signal preference or prevent some form of evil-maid tactic.

Signal PIN is not designed nor intended to be a prevention mean during interrogation but to keep those settings in maximum privacy mode. This PIN is an excellent complement to OpSec array of protections while using Signal app.
As an employee earning £50k a year I would pay £12224 tax and NI, as a self employed person I would pay £11303 tax and NI. If I'm working for my own ltd I will pay £10871 as a combination of personal tax and corporation tax. The difference is not enormous. I think the IR35 stuff was to stop employers avoiding their NI contributions which is an extra £6155 tax on the £50k salary.
There is even a third, which would be pretty much undetectable. The engine only alerts him when he has to specially focus on the next move.

That way he knows when to be careful, but he still needs to figure out what exactly to do on his own.
Can you clarify how that worked exactly?

I use a hotel aggregator too (Booking , Agoda primarily) and my experience has been that it does not make any difference at all what nationality I've. I see exact same price whether I use incognito, another browser, device, or even when my partner (living in a different country and holding a different citizenship) searches and books a hotel.
Sure. Again, the basic issue is that this is not optimized for the user. It's optimized for whoever stands to make money from the pages.
Factorio uses SDL. Factorio has been cross-platform (Linux, Windows, Mac) from the beginning, so it makes sense that they're not tied down to Microsoft's proprietary nonsense. I'd imagine this choice made it a lot easier to port to the Switch as well.

Except that’s not been true in a while, and technically this assumptions was not kosher for even longer: C itself only guarantees that int is 16 bits.
Applicable also to the engineer's total compensation. There are trade-offs.
Thanks for pointing out the `usize` ambiguity. It drives me nuts. I suspect it would make me even crazier if I was doing embedded with Rust right now and had to work with unsafe hardware pointers.

(They also fail to distinguish an equivalent of `off_t` out, too. Not that I think that would have the same bit width ambiguities. But it seems odd to refer to offsets by a 'size')

A Minecraft-based Atari 2600 emulator was running about 1 frame per second last I knew: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mq7T5_xH24M

And that's heavily based on internal scripting with real code.

The recent "Minecraft"-in-Minecraft emulation was done with pure Redstone internal to the game, but has to be run on a specialized server that accelerates Redstone operations by several thousands to be even fast enough to record time lapses at a reasonable sped.

In-game simulations of logic gates that are generally running at fractions of a Hz are a pretty steep obstacle to overcome for any "real" computing like that. Just to calibrate your expectations.

I just did this and the UI is weird and confusing - it looks like I need to statically pick photos in the settings app, which obviously won’t work for day to day use every time I take a photo and want to publish it to instagram.

Not saying it doesn’t work like you say, just saying it doesn’t look like it does.
It'll never catch on.
The dependencies still need not be taught in a boring way. For example, if teachers did surveys of students strongest interests and goals, they can think of ways to 'inject' (in a genuine way) dependencies as stepping stones to their goals. "In order to achieve goal X, you need to know how to do Y, and in order to know how to do Y, you need to know how to do Z". Let's assume Z is the boring task. Just by connecting it in a sequence to the student's goals it becomes less boring because the student instantly sees the relevance.

Contrast this with "Do this" "Why?" "Just do as I say if you want good grades"

So in practice this would be "Ben, I know your most important goal is to become like LeBron James. LeBron James has this special trick that you like called X. He has said in the past that the fastest way to achieve this is to practice Y boring technique for at least 2 hours a day"

"John, your most important goal is greater flexibility. To be as flexible as possible, you need to do this other boring exercise more frequently 3 hours a day"

If the goal is important enough, they will go through it. However, an even wiser method is to frame it this way: In your brain you have the 'you-now'/thalamic/elephant part of your brain "Give me candy now" and the 'you-in-the-future'/cortical/mouse riding elephant "I have to lose weight". These 2 are always competing, but the 'elephant' always wins. In order to solve this, one has to research what is it that 'tastes good', and develop a diet that tastes better than the junk they already eat. If you do that, you'll stick with your diet long-term. Why? Because your diet is always the best tasting thing on the menu.

The dumb approach is to say "I'm going to force myself"... you'll burn out eventually. Reference: "Immediate Rewards Predict Adherence to Long-Term Goals" https://sci-hub.hkvisa.net/10.1177/0146167216676480

In other words, the higher-level abstract representation of this is both the 'elephant' or the 'you-now' has to be as maximally satisfied (given its range of options, the 'best' one is the most fun one), and the 'mouse thats trying to direct the elephant' or the 'you-in-the-future' also gets what it wants.

Put simpler: if you don't have fun, it will never get done.

Emphasizing relevance is in the spirit of just-in-time learning. To give an example, years ago, I struggled to learn programming for a long time. I'd watch 11 hour courses, and nothing would stick. "Today, for-loops, and conditionals..." In my mind: 'who cares? How is this relevant to the thing I'm trying to do?'

It wasn't until I found a meaningful goal and exciting project that still was simple enough, and broke it down into a series of 'google-able steps' that I finally learned and remembered what a "for loop" meant.

The irrelevant rote approach is not a good method of memorization or learning. More intuitive approaches which try to build on your existing background (reducing the friction), and your existing goals (increasing attraction), are more likely to help you remember.
When Chrome came out it was unambiguously:

* A safer browser.
* A more performant browser.

Which was more than enough for most of us to recommend everyone switch. Much the same was as when Firefox first came out it was unambiguously:

* A safer browser.
* A more performant browser.

Which was more than enough for most of us to recommend everyone switch. The switching cost of a browser is quite low. The next browser to meet the above criteria will experience a similar jump in users. The challenge is in actually delivering a browser that can do so. The web standards are massively complex for many reasons, some of them legitimate. The barrier for entry is going up over time and shows no sign of slowing down.
That's impressive. Last time I needed to write more than 50 LOC in bash I wished I had been told it was alright if I used Python instead. bash is not hard or anything, but it can feel painful since it's different to everything else I'm used to.

There's a few others I know of. Lately I found shop in Bangalore that gets beans from Coorg. Reasonably priced and decent beans. Ainmane https://www.ainmane.com/. Shop is good. A little more expensive than Devans though I think.

Devan's is a good option though. Malakodu Estate has some decently priced coffee.
