There are also some counterpoints to it.

I still cannot see a value in studying classical literature. At least not one that does not have 1000 better tradeoffs for other subjects.

There are also aspects of studying that can 'nerdify' the brain and make you weaker at interpersonal skills. There are very few CEOs, influencers, actors, and musicians that are good at math. In fact, I think the artistic/athletic pathways in life can be damaged by beginning to condition someone for office work.
Your point boils down to privacy is good because it lets people get away with crime and laws might be bad.

The solution shouldn't be to make crimes easier to hide. It's to legalize homosexuality.

What a wonderful post.

Igalia is such a great company, can figure out what the nodal points of potential are in the world, & makes use.

Systemd is such a wonderful system with such built in extensibility: here systext, but the whole "drop in" config with .d directories is something they codified well for extensibility, after hundreds of ad-hoc implementations of similar in various daemons.

Knowing the lay-lines, the potential about us, is such an amazing capability that software engineers can bring out. Being able to read & leverage ecosystems, knowing the flux points, can make shit 90% easier so regularly. Thanks Alberto for this great post: good shit, helping open us all up out of a bind, with great tools we already have & use, with little fuss: a capital example.
From this I assumed that GrammarParser was a built-in Zig module for parsing and parser generation.
You can think of it like solving a differential equation numerically. The diffusion model encodes the relationships between values in sensible images (technically in the compressed representations of sensible images). You can try to jump directly to the solution but the result won't be very good compared to taking small steps.
I agree on the intuition. But once the intuition and the fundamentals are there, should teenagers spend months crunching calculus heuristics? It's still the way it's taught in Europe and it's incredibly inefficient.
does this mean Apple will finally have fast transfer speeds that Android phones have had for at least 5+ years? or will they still give you USB2 speeds over USB C?

The Battle for the Soul of the Web
I've got about 20 zwave devices by all of the manufacturers you mention on my network and they have all been very reliable after a year of use. I had a lot of reliability issues at the start, but they all ended up being due to two issues:

* Signal strength. Getting more repeaters and devices fixed this
* Flaky service implementation. Uprading ZWave JS on Home Assistant and adding a monitor that got ZWave JS to ping devices when they were unavailable as made the system very reliable.
> Oh please, Apple has barely improved Lightning since its introduction a decade ago (2012!). Yes, back then, it was better than what was available, but the industry has moved on, and Apple has stagnated.

You mean: in 20 years Apple has had only two connectors, and they worked and work extremely well. Meanwhile the industry "that moved on" invented 6 different incompatible connectors, didn't even specify a charging standard until 2010s (IIRC) and is now busy inventing USB 4 Gen 1x15 revision 16

If people wanted a broken up twitter, mastodon would be more popular right now.
I had the experience of coming upon a differential equation, in the course of some research, which I could not solve explicitly. Mathematica choked on it and my boss and his office neighbor (both math PhD's) were unable to solve it explicitly. When I was about to give up set off to do it numerically my boss's neighbor suggested they call another fellow they both new. Two days later he delivered two neatly written sheets of paper with an explicit solution which featured a really novel (to all of us) substitution which facilitated the solution.

Now in the grand scheme of things the differential equation we were looking at might not be 'interesting' in the sense of being representative of a class of problems in a rich branch of math, but it was sure interesting to us, as it modelled the behavior of the system we were studying. We all were pretty sure there wasn't a closed form solution (but certainly weren't going to spend time proving that) and were pleasantly surprised. The solver did not get a co-author credit in the eventual paper, but he did get a shout out in a footnote.

Okay, honestly for all that I wouldn't go for it myself, $1500 doesn't seem super bad for what it is. It's got 4 cores with a decent clock speed and 16GB of RAM, and it's a completely novel system that's not mass-market. The first RISC-V laptop isn't going to benefit from economies of scale; dev boards are barely starting to get there.

Abstractly speaking, what if we consider a "big ball of spaghetti" and "working program" to both be abstractions of just "a program". Now it fits under the larger abstraction umbrella still. :D

All other things aside, C++ seems to be the language "to big to fail" and so it just keeps getting more and more features added to keep it competitive.

To be fair, rote memorization is one of the most improtant and transferable cognitive skills you can develop.

Also, even if I agree that history classes often go overboard, having some notion of the years and even dates that some things happened is important to having a general understanding of history. If you know the who, what, why of WW II but have only a vague idea of when it started and when it ended, or when some of the major events within took place, you'll have a very hard time correlating with other events. It matters for example that WW II happened only 20 years after WW I, not 5 years after, not a century after. You won't get a decent picture of the sequence of events if you don't know some rough dates at least - especially for events happening in different parts of the world, with more indirect linking.

Anyone who thinks they can mansplain git to me should read first understand my StackOverflow answer, where I give detailed instructions on how to "git stash" only the staged changes, in a git that doesn't have the recent --staged option in git stash. This is done by manipulating raw tree objects to create commits in the way stash wants them.

I've been using this thing daily since around 2008.

I think the behavior that is described by my post is suprising and poor. A command which throws away uncommitted changes removed a file whose only connection to the version control system was that its existence was announced to it. (I don't require to be informed about the mechanics of how that came about, due to what procedures being applied to what representations, all of which I understand.)

People writing version control systems should take some kind of oath against anything like that happening.

Under no circumstances lose any file that is not completely in version control, without confirmation.

Those strict rules boil down to 'whenever you feel threatened.'

So, I'm not much of a chess person, much less a competitive chess person.

Can the "over the board" cheating potential be reduced with a 5 minute "tape delay" of broadcasting the game? Is that enough time to thwart the influence of an external signal?

Seems to me the only way this person can redeem himself is through over the board play under strict conditions ("Come dressed in shorts, a t-shirt and sandals").

But I don't know if how long they're allowed per move, and if 5 minutes is enough time to thwart external influence.

In the jquery days, I would often do this sort of thing with hidden divs.
History teaches us that inflation will continue as long as the government keeps printing fiat money with no backing.

For a historical example, the Confederacy had high inflation. The printing press was in Richmond. When Richmond was threatened with a siege, the Confederacy hustled the printing press out to get it to a new, safer location.

Confederate inflation paused during the move.

The reason is pretty simple - the Law of Supply & Demand. The more currency there is flooding the economy, the less value that currency has.

At the price being paid it's one of the dumbest acquisitions, by price, by any entity (individual or corporation) in the past 30 years that I've been watching markets closely.

Twitter would be lucky to be trading at $20 / share minus the supporting bid. Musk overpaid by a minimum of $15 billion because he doesn't properly control his impulse problems. There were numerous ways he could have proceeded more slowly in pursuing a purchase, without so tightly locking himself into that grotesque price tag.

Let's put his stupidity into perspective: $15 billion was his total net worth five years ago. It was half his net worth a bit over two years ago.

Next up, Tesla's stock is going to sink considerably from where it's at. It'll just amplify the pain of this over-pay.

- "written statements by Niemann himself which contradict his public statement"

The article doesn't say that Niemann's admissions to Chess.com were about cheating in prize-money tournaments, nor the other disputed facts. The spreadsheet of incidents they show us isn't what Niemann admitted to cheating in, but was Chess.com's internal anticheat flagged -- we can tell because they label it as "suspect games" and it uses qualifiers like "likely". The inferences that the cheating was for real money prizes, or at an age older than 16, or on for-profit Twitch streams, are drawn from from this list of suspected games.

We don't currently know what facts Niemann confessed too: it's not public whether the facts Niemann is allegedly lying about overlap with the facts Niemann admitted to in writing in 2020. WSJ may have evidence that's dispositive on this point (i.e. those Slack texts), but they haven't printed it yet.

a waf doesnt stop 99%. updating software does that. wafs are bad. stop using them.

Good question. Maybe rigorous mathematical expositions should be replaced with visual metaphors or explanations that will get the idea across without children going through tiresome process of manipulating symbols and calculations.

Assuming wages rise (they are), debtors benefit from inflation as their debts become less onerous in real dollar terms.

Most Americans are debtors.
Qualified immunity is the concept that an individual acting for the state in certain roles may not be directly pursued for damages save for certain egregious circumstances. It is not now nor has it ever been a shield protecting the local government as a whole from being found liable as it routinely is. It is likely a non-issue in this case where the issue at hand is that the government violated this individuals rights and the benefit to society would be a ruling that they clearly aren't allowed to do so in the future.
It may also help to see the cumulative inflation picture: https://totalrealreturns.com/s/USDOLLAR?normalize=end (disclosure: my side project)

The 1974 and 1980 peaks from the article correspond to the steeper slope regions in those same years on my graph. (I'm plotting 1/[CPI-U price level], while the article is plotting d/dt [CPI-U price level])

On my y-axis is the purchasing power of a US dollar, relative to current level. So when the y-axis shows 9.813 on 1962-10-04, this means that sixty years ago, a one-dollar bill would buy a basket of goods that today would cost $9.813.

It certainly "feels scary" when the purchasing power is eroding quickly (i.e. a fast-declining slope on my purchasing power graph, or a peak on the article's year-over-year derivative graph).

This is normal because it will still take time for the deal to close and I'm sure you can find something more secure to get 4% now which is why you see this gap. It will close the closer we get to the closing date but this can still take quite some time and you might be better off putting your money in other investments.
Depends on the game type and cheating type.

If blitz type game where players have <5 minutes to decide a move, then yes, delayed broadcast might be effective. Other game types allow for >5 minutes per move so tape delay would be ineffective since cheater could just stall.

Cheating type also matters. There's external help (friend in the audience communicating 1 or more bits of information via auditory, optical, radio, or some other signal), and there's also internal help (raspberry pi zero + battery and pressure sensor embedded in your shoe or something). There are so many ways to cheat that it's hard to enumerate all of them let alone prevent all of them.
It should be noted that it doesn't have all to much to do with the rigorous mathematical definition of a Tensor.
Devbox: From 1000+ Container Script to less than 10 lines
Research is still ongoing here, but it seems like diffusion models despite being named after the noise addition/removal process don't actually work because of it.

There's a paper (which I can't remember the name of) that shows the process still works with different information removal operators, including one with a circle wipe, and one where it blends the original picture with a cat photo.

Also, this article describes CLIP being trained on text-image pairs, but Google's Imagen uses an off the shelf text model so that part doesn't seem to be needed either.
Why aren’t TV’s mandated to use USB-C? Why do I still need to connect via HDMI? Why does my TV remote still use double-A batteries instead of USB-C charging?

Equality is preferred to equity. The former means a fair playing field, the latter means a field that is unfairly adjusted to ensure the same outcome despite decisions after an equal initial condition.
> I still cannot see a value in studying classical literature.

And that is the real tragedy of modern education.
Two diffusion processes are involved:

1- Forward Diffusion (adding noise, and training the Unet to predict how much noise is added in each step)

2- Generating the image by denoising. This doesn't predict the final image, each step only predicts a small slice of noise (the removal of which leads to images similar to what the model encountered in step 1).

So it is indeed an iterative processes in that way, each step taking one step towards the final image.
They will because there is an open source reference implementation that they can use: https://github.com/project-chip/connectedhomeip

The one nice thing about it, above Zigbee, is that you can expect devices to work together. With Zigbee you frequently have to pair a device with a hub from the same manufacturer.
In case you’re looking for whether this says anything about the butt plug allegations, this report does not. It only concerns cheating on an online platform, not in person cheating
I was curious how Thread compares with ZigBee in power usage.

One white paper I found suggests that Thread uses slightly less power.
E.g., for a device on a CR2032 battery sending a packet every minute, with ZigBee they estimate the battery lasting 1.38 years vs 1.49 years with Thread.

https://infocenter.nordicsemi.com/pdf/nwp_039.pdf

But another white paper at https://www.ti.com/lit/an/swra595/swra595.pdf has them the other way around, by about the same amount.

Either way I guess it's close.
