I was a math / physics major in college. Two useless subjects. ;-) But I still love both of them, and use them in my job. Any work site with enough people will hand all of the math related work to the "math person," and that person will be forgiven of other kinds of drudgery. It's a fair trade.

Still, that's survivor bias, and I'd be the first person to support reforming math education. I would divide K-12 math into 4 quadrants:

1. Arithmetic, which is the manipulation of symbols, up through algebra and calculus.

2. Computation, which is the use of computers to solve problems.

3. Dealing with data.

4. Theory, which includes things like sets, proofs, and so forth.

If any 1 of those 4 things makes math come alive for a larger number of students, it's preferable to focusing exclusively on arithmetic. (Theory is gone, my kids did virtually no proofs in school, and never learned about sets).

Note that I didn't mention statistics. Memorizing statistical formulas made sense when computation was expensive, but I think learning about data by playing with random numbers would make a lot more sense, would reinforce computation, and lead to students being able to try things on their own. To this day, despite taking a year of statistics and doing a PhD in physics, I still don't trust myself with statistical formulas unless I check if they make sense by throwing random data sets through them.
Seems to be happening in the poker world as well.

Ask why Rheinmetall Defence already had the last two years such good very years and who bought all the munition. It's worth a couple of minutes and read the last few annual reports.

There are no billboards in Maui from what I could tell, which was quite pleasant. From a further search it looks like Hawaii doesn't stand for billboards at all, nor do Alaska, Maine, or Vermont.

That's interesting, thanks for clarifying. Yandex do show up as an investor in Crunchbase, including in their most recent Series B. The cited blog post says:

> The formation of our company was made possible by an agreement under which Yandex NV, a Dutch company with operations in Russia

While Yandex NV is registered in the Netherlands, it's pretty clear that Yandex NV is directly related to Yandex (specifically, according to Wikipedia, it's a holding company of Yandex). For those who don't know, Yandex is basically the Google of Russia and holds 42% of market share among search engines in Russia.

The blog post does not seem to make any claims that Russia is not benefitting financially from the commercial success of Clickhouse. And given the above, such claim would unlikely be true. As such, I still think it's pretty much safe to assume that a portion of any $$$ paid to Clickhouse ultimately goes to fund the war and kill people.

That said, I sincerely hope they could find a way to stop that flow of money from happening somehow, as otherwise it's a nice technology and a great technical team behind it...
Chess.com releases 72-page Hans Niemann report [pdf]
Key takeaways:

- Chess.com "present evidence in this report that Hans likely cheated online much more than his public statements suggest"
- "While Hans has had a record-setting and remarkable rise in rating
and strength, in our view there is a lack of concrete statistical evidence that he cheated in his game with Magnus or in any other over-the-board (“OTB”)—i.e., in-person—games."

You can pack it quite small if you never tried, in the size of an average book, maybe less if you vacuum pack it.
This is what I think about a lot since I have read the book Sapiens. Homo Sapiens have been around for 300,000 years and as of today we remember only a handful of names and only from very recent past. Who knows how long our species will exist but one thing is for sure, no one will be remember most of us normies.
When my house was constructed, I bought a book on how to defeat burglar alarms. It was very helpful in order to implement countermeasures to those attacks.

For example, one simple one was taking an axe to the phone terminal box mounted on an exterior wall. Goodbye alarms that used the phone system. I had a big fight with The Phone Company because I wanted the phone box inside. They finally made me sign a paper saying they were not responsible for it, because they didn't have access to it.
Obviously you can't take it if you don't have it/can't get it, but the utility for adults is widely over estimated.

I like the idea of renewal at a creator-set price.

Every 10 years, declare that your work is worth $x, then pay a renewal fee of $x/10 (or some other fraction based on more solid economics).

If anyone volunteers to pay more than $x in place of your $x/10 your work is now public domain.
Yeah, give it four or five years and I expect Nvidia to be as well-supported as AMD and Intel.
The opposite of this is most developing countries, where free signage given out by consumer brands like Coca Cola/Pepsi/P&G are literal visual pollution in what used to be beautiful small towns and cities.
> There are APIs to both list all of the accounts in the organization and request service limits. It’s a three line bash script.

You assume I have access to all that. Then there’s the situations in which you request a limit higher than what they’ll automatically give you, and you end up running through 10 support requests :/

As a customer, I'm tired of hearing this excuse. I get wowed by free, open-source software dozens of times a week. You want me to put eyes on your product? Wow me! I'm tired of "enterprise-grade fart apps" and "B2C photo storage" garbage getting touted as life-changing or impressive technology. If you want to compete, do something impressive. If you want people to look fondly upon your product, consider giving back to the community instead of paying to become their adversary.

Intersectionality also reframes all minority politics in terms of a framework defined by white people according to white people’s political priorities. It creates a framework where you “center POC” voices—but only if they agree with white people. To further your example, Justice Clarence Thomas is treated as unrepresentative of Black people even when his views are typical of a southern Black man. About half the Black people in his home state of Georgia oppose abortion, and Black people nationwide have similar views on same-sex marriage as Republicans. When Justice Thomas votes to overturn racial preferences in college admissions, he’ll be attacked as a tool of white supremacy—even though most Black people also oppose using race as a factor in admissions and jobs.

By contrast, progressive POC are always presented as representative of their race even when they’re not. Ilhan Omar is held up as the face of Islam in America. But there’s way more Trump voting Muslims than ones who are as far left as Omar.
I can relate. It's an essential communication tool. When discussing asynchronous events with a colleague, there is a point in the discussion when it becomes almost impossible to explain it in words and you really need something like a sequence diagram to communicate accurately.

It really isn't. It's a temporary privilege of state enforced monopoly.
There are a number of quite interesting ideas in this article—mixed with some confusion and misunderstanding, and presented in a flawed rhetorical framework.
I also noticed smart people type really fast (if they can touch type) and can switch between multiple windows/tabs fast too. It's not because their fingers move faster than normal people, but because their mind moves smoothly so they can produce a long string of command with stopping to think.

> as fast as any 20 year old. I
I certainly hope so. Though I think it's more likely that Knuth can be as fast as other 20-year olds, but not as the 20-year old of himself.
I don’t know that this plan was ever technically true at any time. Instead it highlighted to me the absolute futility in avoiding destruction in the event of thermonuclear war. It may still be a plausible best bet in this abhorrent scenario. Surely you must imagine any perceived reinforced bunker gap would have been addressed in some inconspicuous military funding bill in the past 60 years.

I feel like naming regions in New York is a fools errand, sure to “offend” everyone, but “western” New York is generally considered to be west of Rochester. Syracuse is about as Central New York as you can get.

Technically, that's exactly what it does, and $1B is the damage limit (that's one reason the court can't just make up a damages award in the plural billions to compensate Twitter). Twitter is relying on their right to specific performance, not damages.

I agree, though, the $1B is a red herring.

But a person's values do not fully or directly translate through their consumer habits, and then through the actions of those higher up along the chain. There is a common fallacy that strong proponents of capitalism, especially free markets, believe in (or pretend to), which essentially goes: If you patronize x, you either condone all negative consequences of x's actions, or you're ignorant/hypocritical, and further, if it's the latter, the system should not or can not be changed to mitigate those consequences. But, every part of that is false by oversimplification.
I'd be curious to know about the cheating rate on chess.com. I'd expect at lot of people to cheat occasionally, e.g. kids with too much time on their hand, people trying to "fix" their ranking, or getting a bit of help when they play against their friend and so on...

And also... who cares? there are no stake, just playing against random people, who cares if they cheat as long as you have fun playing. It's less fun for the cheater, but doesn't impact non-cheater.
This may be true in the US but it's based on a false dichotomy. And i'm even convinced that any kind of factual reality it has in the US is because this false political dichotomy has been put into reality by bipartism. If you actually look precisely what's going on in the general political opinions in the west, you have wealthy people that want liberal economics (near the middle of the traditional division left/right), then you basically have two blocks of more precarious people that either are more socialist (skewed towards young and educated) or reactionary (skewed towards old and less educated). This is still very crude but at least it has 3 dimensions instead of two.
Yes, to be more clear about my point: there is a lot of learning about MIX to set the groundwork for future stuff, which can feel arbitrary and disconnected from practice. It can be off putting to a new reader. It took longer to read than just about any other part of the book, since the rest of the book has a much higher density of interesting material. Also it’s the only section that is really “required reading” and I most enjoy this book by bouncing around. I just want to encourage new readers to stick with it, it’s not exactly representative of the whole book.
GP said:

> When a standard makes sense companies will generally adopt it naturally.

My point was that manufacturers could have done so (with Mini-USB) if they wanted to, but chose not to. Until smart phones came around, most phones were more than thick enough to have a Mini-USB port (and a lot did).
I don't have any experience from the hiring side, but I got my current job from applying to a position from the 'who's hiring' thread that sounded interesting. Just passed my 2 year anniversary there and I've been loving the work.
Layoffs suck, but I’m pretty convinced that it’s far better to cut deep, cut once, and then start to repair/rebuild/move ahead than to drag out a slow, chaotic reduction over 6-12 months. Those prolonged morale sinks encourage a lot of your employees with the most options to leave on their own. That’s usually not what you want.
The market is plagued with eth+poe cameras under $100. For live streaming you'd need to configure your network and probably some apps might offer cloud service. Maybe, even the same maker's app have cloud services. Check: Reolink, amcrest, zosi, dahua...

It's definitely a rabbit's hole digging into these stuff. Expect to dedicate long hours of research and setup, due to the multiple options there are, brands/models/cameras/technologies.

Making your own camera, as suggested by other person, at this point is pointless.
> Building things doesn't automatically make people gravitate toward them.

No, but the two barber-shops in towns spending $X each on net-even advertising is a net-negative for me, because the only thing I get out of it is a higher bill when I cut my hair.

Some advertisement creates new markets. Some is a negative-sum game. None of it can be assumed to be honest, because of the obvious profit motive involved.
I'm not so sure how "highly illegal" these devices are. Can someone point me to a specific law?
Perhaps a better example might be "covering indexes," or what Oracle would call an "index full scan."

Is is an idea so efficient that to disregard it is inefficiency.

"I had never heard of, for example, a covering index. I was invited to fly to a conference, it was a PHP conference in Germany somewhere, because PHP had integrated SQLite into the project. They wanted me to talk there, so I went over and I was at the conference, but David Axmark was at that conference, as well. He’s one of the original MySQL people.

"David was giving a talk and he explained about how MySQL did covering indexes. I thought, “Wow, that’s a really clever idea.” A covering index is when you have an index and it has multiple columns in the index and you’re doing a query on just the first couple of columns in the index and the answer you want is in the remaining columns in the index. When that happens, the database engine can use just the index. It never has to refer to the original table, and that makes things go faster if it only has to look up one thing.

"Adam: It becomes like a key value store, but just on the index.

"Richard: Right, right, so, on the fly home, on a Delta Airlines flight, it was not a crowded flight. I had the whole row. I spread out. I opened my laptop and I implemented covering indexes for SQLite mid-Atlantic."

This is also related to Oracle's "skip scan" of indexes.

> Second, that it's common amongst the elite of the sport is huge. Either online chess is somewhat dead on arrival as a sport and was never taken seriously by many players (which makes sense to me given how integrated computer engines are in the sport) ... or the chess world needs to go through some sort of cultural revolution here.

Really? My takeaway is that chess.com is doing a better job of detecting cheaters than FIDE, who seem to have been asleep at the wheel with Niemann

> Fourth, the OTB cheating question still seems open and it seems plausible to me that a good chess player would cheat online for followers and income and entrance to tournaments and then use OTB as the real testing ground.

This seems wildly implausible to me. Niemann‘s OTB rise would be indicative of a not just significant but utterly world historic chess mind, head-and-shoulders above Fisher and head-shoulders-and-entire-torso above every other player in history. When led into uncharted territory by the world chess champion, Magnus indicated that Niemann seemed utterly and completely untroubled - and yet he’s, what, running stockfish in another window for $1000 prizes online and getting himself caught dozens of times? Why? Why take the risk against opponents he should beat in his sleep? These should have been sleepwalk games for this Fisher++ genius who’s totally untroubled by a 5 time world chess championship, but he’s for some reason making obviously weaker moves when not switching windows when his unaided moves shouldn’t have been screamingly weaker than the aided ones given his singularly extraordinary chess rise.

It beggars belief. His world historic rise in rating alone is ludicrously over the top. Kid’s an obvious fraud.
Correct!

According to Google, "insecure" means:

1. not firmly fixed; liable to give way or break.
2. (of a person) not confident or assured; uncertain and anxious.

and "unsecure":

1. (especially of a computer system) not protected against attack or other criminal activity.
2. (of a loan) unsecured.
Why? Because its probably the largest video hosting website by multiple orders of magnitude?

And you still hasn't given me a straight answer.
Let's say YOU are Youtube, and you are trying to be an honest businessman (while staying alive).
What would you do?

1. Turn it into a fully paid service. Which means you will probably never take off and some other guy will create an ((((free)))) alternative like Youtube.

2. Free service with premium features but people apparently don't like it because they feel like they are missing out.

I personally prefer 1 because that would remove 99% of the shitty videos that plague the website.
I was saddened when I saw that people don't share my sentiment.
That was the one moment where people have the opportunity to say "yes, let us pay you and you give us a direct and simple service".
I easily "watch" around 12 hours of HD Youtube videos counting all the music in the background that I listen to. It is _definitely_ worth the premium price.
I am sorry your work has been frustrating.

We had an incident that was worse than it could have been due to long neglect of infrastructure (dare I say that sloth and cluelessness figure heavily?). That's a different kind of complaint. Sometimes work is hard, sometimes things shouldn't be as they are.

even in the most horrific cases we have a section on "what went right"

Yes, in the distant past someone knew what they were doing and bought a bag of cat litter that our current crew of clueless hoarder freaks thankfully kept. It doesn't make them less clueless, though.

In a corporation, we are playing a repeated game.

We as well. We want to ingrain proper habits to get in front of the crazy train. That doesn't mean that we say to every passing serviceman "Thank you for your service and good job you are wearing proper headgear".

I'm tired of the sugar-sweetness. I want quiet and good practice, and the continuous din of "positive reinforcement" is the opposite.
This sounds eerily reminiscent of a gentleman that once inquired about taping kevlar to his back to protect himself from sniper fire.
Only thing is that Parag probably won’t… see it’s because Parag is the grown up here :D
doing the statistical analysis and all is pretty cool, but honestly, can't they just challenge him to play at his rating in a secure environment?

his learning curve is a little steeper than the others... that doesn't convince me the otb games were fraudulent.
> the same as the way all wars eventually end

As a German, that's not how our last war ended. Neither did the more recent Iraq war, or Libya. Plenty of wars end with the utter defeat of the opponent.
Internet Archive Seeks Material for Library of Amateur Radio and Communications
Internet Archive has begun gathering content for the Digital Library of Amateur Radio and Communications (DLARC), which will be a massive online library of materials and collections related to amateur radio and early digital communications.

The DLARC project is looking for contributors with troves of ham radio, amateur radio, and early digital communications related books, magazines, documents, catalogs, manuals, videos, software, personal archives, and other historical records collections, no matter how big or small. In addition to physical material to digitize, we are looking for podcasts, newsletters, video channels, and other digital content that can enrich the DLARC collections.
