Have you tried image occlusion for Anki? It does exactly what you mentioned: you occlude parts of an image (your notes in this case) and creates cards based on that. It's more tedious than an integrated solution would be, but I'm sure there are ways to make the card creation process more seamless. Maybe an Android e-ink where you can click "Share" on your notes, and choose the image occlusion "plugin app".
Besides the other list, places results from AG have uses in tech include statistics, control theory, robotics, error-correcting codes, phylogenetics, geometric modelling, string theory, game theory, graph matchings, solitons , integer programming, computer vision, computer aided design.....

Some of these are likely why Blinn decided to make an entire course on using it just in computer graphics alone.

Oh, like when some random person who is just trying to get by is subjected to slurs based on some aspect of their identity.

I could take the argument you made in a parallel thread and say that people who feel upset at being labeled fascist or racist or sexist could just choose not to be offended. Why is the question of truth/falsity suddenly so important when it impacts them, whereas it's irrelevant when they wish to make satirical/ironic statements that may or may not impact others?
The privately owned org that I started with recently has new comers at a pretty constant 30% annual bonus. Tied to how well the company did but upon conversation with veteran staff, no issues with management paying out or percentage drops in the last 15 years.

They aren't a perfect company by any means, but they seem to be decent from current observations.
In contrast, the extra capital buffer required to maintain such benefits directly reduces the amount of risk a startup business can take. Starting a risky venture in the EU vs the US seems like starting with an immediate financial drag. Stability for workers is achieved in part by forcing companies to lower the risk they can take.
The rate of repetitions scales sublinearly with respect to time.

Consider a uniform repetition approach that repeats each item once per day. The rate of our uniform repetition system scales linearly with respect to time. If one item takes 1 second to review, then I will lose 1 second per day. Therefore, N items causes me to lose N seconds per day. Even in the case where I don’t add items to my list, I lose N seconds per day.

In contrast, as you stated, the amount of time we lose per item per day reduces exponentially with spaced repetition, however. If we don’t add any items to our list, the review time asymptotically approaches 0 seconds/day.

Unrelated to all of this, I agree the title may be a touch embellished. :)
The US does not consider Taiwan part of China. The US follows one China policy which is that they acknowdge Chinas position that it believes Taiwan is part of China.

That’s like saying “I understand you believe that the sky is pink.”

Hence she the US refers to it as strategic ambiguity. This is the same position that the likes of NZ and AU have.

So don’t go telling people they are uninformed when clearly you’re just here spreading propaganda.

Yeah, I read stuff like this and think the engineers back in the 50's were some of the smartest. I certainly would not have been able to cut the muster back then.
I can't tell if you're being willfully dense or serious. If you're deceiving people and pressuring them to lie in order to close a case, they will say anything to be released, potentially not knowing the implications.
I saw that mastodon.technology is shutting down soon. Would this microblog.pub be a good alternative to hosting my own mastodon? I don't have any other users, so it'd just be for me to maybe interact with people on other mastodon instances.
ts-node isn't an official part of the TypeScript project. It has notoriously bad module support.

"files": ["index.ts"]
}

He already sued and won in jurisdiction B. The money is in jurisdiction A. No banks and police in jurisdiction A will honor a legal document from jurisdiction B. This leaves you to the situation described above.

The best option is to take the decision from jurisdiction B into a new court proceeding and jurisdiction A and ask them to honor it with a local court order in A.

They may or they may not.

Even within the United States you might have a court order in one state or payment, and another state that refuses to enforce it within their jurisdiction.
Since there was a fairly long period of time between the early incidences of Covid and the appearance of the various vaccines, is the correlation to Covid or to the vaccines?

The European countries with these benefits don't have higher birth rates, so it doesn't seem like it's actually producing more younger people.

Instead, it's African countries and then ones with more practicing religious people who do.

Unfortunately I don’t yet have the skills to contribute to this effort. Hopefully following your algorithm descriptions will change that.
Even at the highest estimates of false imprisonments, it still means several thousands of murderers are walking free each year that wouldn’t have just 10 years ago.
Aren't those false confessions usually the result of the other tactics (long interrogations, intimidation, etc)? I'm wondering if there's some data on deception without these other factors. Even plea bargains aren't a bad thing except if they're abused.
This makes me very happy to live in the USA where there is free speech. In the European country you even have to be careful when you talk to civil servants, because insulting them is illegal. Combine that with ‘what the cop says is how it happened unless you have proof otherwise’, you gotta be really careful.
Went to Tunisia several times before the pandemic. Was keen to check these out but the warning from the locals was that terrorist/extremist activities might still be present in that part of the country

I'm only talking about deception. The other pressures I can understand. Why is deception without the other pressures bad?
Why do you assume that every EV is going to charge immediately at 6 PM? Any reasonable software controlling those chargers is going to a.) at least delay that till 9 PM so that you aren't at peak rates and b.) stagger charging so that not everyone's EV charges at once.
Amazing share on the tooling side of thing for PDF processing.

More on PDF and why it's hard to do analysis [1]. TL;DR

"PDF was never really designed as a data input format,
but rather, it was designed as an output format
giving fine grained control over the resulting document."

By the way, the PDF 1.4 (most widely used version) specification is over 1000 pages![2] To make it even harder, not everybody follow the spec :)

A standard of living in 2022 wasn't achievable at any cost 50 years ago; the reason both people want to work in a modern family is that it gets you more money and they want to spend more.

You'd only want to not work if your job couldn't effectively contribute to the household (you're already rich or your spouse is a super high earner) or else you can't pay for the childcare work you're no longer doing (you're poor). Both of you working is a sign of being middle class.
Great analogies, thank you! The first one in particular seems like a particularly apt one.
This amnesty report is very biased and undermines whole organisations credibility. And no, Russia is currently bombing apartment buildings with no military targets in sight, with the sole goal of terrorising the population, just an hour ago they did it again.
Don't stop there. What was the business?
Well, GP/"they" didn't do a good job being clear.

They laid out two scenarios with 5 people stealing candy.

A. 0% false positive; 40% false negative

B. 20% false positive; 20% false negative (or maybe 4 people convicted with 1 innocent.)

Either way, the false negative % decreased, and it seemed like the point was that they viewed A as morally superior (at the expense of higher false negatives).

Overall, sure. You don't have to necessarily decrease the false negative rate, however, it's something that ideally doesn't go up, all else equal.
Dude was getting paid 70k in the Netherlands. That’s a pretty big chunk of change. Not “low paid” work at all…
Not sure where the confusion lies here. If the developer wants Steam DRM, then Steam enforces it. It's not just the Steam API integration, if the game has Steam DRM and you try to start it without the Steam-specific files and your cached login present on the system, it won't work.

I call that "enforcement", and most significant games on Steam use it.
I firmly believe that security by obscurity should be given more credit than is done normally. If you are a pretty uninteresting target and you want to protect your binaries, making them too tough of a nut to crack in comparison to the motivation of the reverse engineer is a valid strategy.
Firemen mostly don't fight fires. We've decided to send them out on every ambulance call just in case, so they do have a lot of work, but it's not clear if they're adding anything or if it's busywork.

(Which isn’t to say we should make them work less, but we should get them smaller trucks like other countries have.)
I can just about remember those beasties. They were silver all over and looked like missiles. They were equally mad looking as "Star Fighters".

Quite a few of my formative years were spent in West Germany in the 70s/80s (BAOR - Army brat).

The sound of a pair of flights of Phantoms all firing up their ABs at low level and going up rather quickly is quite impressive. Over built up areas (times and regs were different then). I recall seeing five Harriers (why five?) at an air day (RAF Wildenrath) farting around - spinning on the spot at 10 feet, nodding, bobbing and bouncing and all sorts of daft things. Jaguars, Buccaneers, Star Fighters and later on Tornadoes.

On the ground I saw a Chieftain tank (60 tonne MBT) race a car from a traffic light near Hohne. The tank has rather a lot of traction but huge inertia. The car was a Mk 1 Ford Fiesta (driven by a squaddie - obviously). Cars are much lighter and only have a bit of rubber on the road. The roads around there were concrete cast slab with tar to fill in the gaps for obvious reasons, given the sorts of vehicles on the roads. Same around Soltau too.

Both vehicles were revving their engines (the car started it) When the lights changed, both vehicles floored it. The tank belched huge amounts of diesel fumes and with a mighty roar launched off the blocks. The car made a rather sad whine and made a desultory hop into the race and carreened down the road. The tank led for a while until the car eventually overtook it.

The MK1 Chieftain was woefully underpowered - you should see what a modern MBT can do these days!

Back in the air, for rotary wing we originally had Siouxs (bubble n fan), then Gazelles and Lynx, Chinooks and more. I now, 40 odd years later, live in Yeovil and used to work in the local chopper factory, 20 years ago.

The high car usage isn't "the free market"; nothing in the US has anything to do with a free market, and land use even less. It's all zoning regulations and federal highway funds all the time, and in general it's all a mixed economy. Free markets are a made up concept so people can have internet arguments about them and do not exist in real life.

You completely misunderstand or are completely disingenuous. Also your facts are completely wrong.

The most politically connected have always been the Pacific Heights folks. Think Getty, Gavin Newsom's patron.

The Asian population of San Francisco is about 33%. It has had a grand total of 1 Asian mayor in its entire history and he was initially appointed.

Behind the scenes politics in San Francisco has always been dominated by money and that money is virtually all white. Think Getty, Shorenstein, etc before and now Conway, Benioff, etc...

You are most likely completely disingenuous. Guess which parts of San Francisco don't have tram lines and don't want them?

I love those "eras" when people only half knew what the hell they were doing. The early space/rocketry research era was crazy like that. Inflatable satellites, blowing up a tank of water in the upper atmosphere (and, hey, nuclear bombs too), dragging wires through orbit, dropping metallic chaff in orbit....

When people don't quite know what's going on a lot of crazy ideas can seem legit. I suspect it is sort of the fun part of the era as well — before sobering reality, data and formulas start to encroach on everyone's good time.
I don't understand how your 2nd point is a problem. If you already say you're right even though you are not, you won't lose any motivation to carry on because you have no motivation already.

If you don't want to learn (or memorize), no technique or tool will allow you to learn. Make a tool that solves this "problem", and the user will simply find other ways for running away, like not using the tool.
I think this could be basically done as a check in the stdlib relatively easily, via something like:

const MyConcept = std.concept.build(.{...});

const requires = std.concept.requires;

const MyType =
requires(
MyConcept,
struct{
...
});

requires simply passes through the type passed to it.

If it fails, it gives some nicely formatted compile time errors.
It was possible to (cross)compile binaries on OS/2 that would run on both OS/2 and DOS. For example, it is possible to run the same Word 5.5 executable on both OS/2 and DOS. Everything was textmode but there is also a "pseudo-textmode" that allows, e.g, italics.

The power and energy efficiency of today's computers is wasted on commercial surveillance and draining advertising budgets. Let us pray that someone discovers a more effective means of advertising than the computer. The 2018 Netflix series "Maniac" seemed to hint at this alternate future.

In Redwood City on Sonic. fast.com is showing peaks of 5 Gb/s and sustained 2.7 Gb/s down and 1.5 Gb/s up. No issues in the last few days at all. So whatever the issue is it's very localized.
I could be less of a dick but I am actually struggling with the idea that I’m guilty of an ad hominem attack. The inter webs gives me this definition:

> (of an argument or reaction) directed against a person rather than the position they are maintaining.

Since the position she is maintaining is “why I’m a conservative“ I don’t feel like my analysis of her judgement is attacking her _rather_ than her position. Her position is about who she is. An analysis of that position must then address _who_ she is.
I have to believe that the quote must have been scrambled in the article. Why would an assembly line worker need to be experienced or understand the industry?

I could see them having two separate problems - not finding enough unexperienced workers at $20 an hour, and separately not finding enough experienced engineering candidates at any salary.
This is the mechanism something like VMware would use to support a Linux guest, not something comparable with the full application experience of VMware.
Only because you are sitting on top of a million prebuilt tools and products. Essentially the same as someone who just purchased the hardware and plugged a video feed in from the camera.
Interesting, I didn't realize either option were so expensive now! As an alternative, maybe something like Dreamhost's $10/yr plan and one-click wordpress installer?

DigitalOcean also has one-click installers/images available for ghost and wordpress, but would still be at least $5/mo.

Both of these options start to go back towards the burden of having to maintain them though.

I don't know if it exists, but maybe there's room for something like a desktop version of Ghost that allows you to write posts/etc locally and then publish to a static github-pages (or s3/etc) site.
You're being intruded on by your neighbors more than you would be in a city. Suburbs are full of cars and noise pollution; the inability to safely play in the road and having to listen to other peoples' cars and gas powered leafblowers is much worse than sharing a wall with someone.

Of course, the kinds of apartment buildings allowed in the US aren't that good either, since few cities allow single-stair buildings like Europe does.

Sprawl is a government invention, as is suburbia. Residential zoning isn't a natural concept and didn't exist before post-WW2.
Oh, sorry: "VR" is a "voltage regulator" in this context. You can see our drivers for these parts in Hubris, our all-Rust system that runs on our service processor.[0] All of our drivers are open, but the parts themselves do contain (small) proprietary firmware blobs.

I don’t think we should limit experiments only to those areas where DALLE-2 succeeds. Seeing failures is also valuable.
That's my exact point, it is unlikely that he was actually a telemarketer and the article is probably wrong.

Reread my posts
In the UK legal insurance is often bundled with home insurance for a small fee (~£8 a month for me). This covers the cost of legal advice across a broad range of categories (employment, housing, consumer protection, personal injury are all usually included) and if a case is likely to succeed (more than 50% prospects of success as judged by the law firm) then they will cover all the costs up to a certain limit which is usually enough for most cases (say £50,000 or so).

It's not perfect but reasonably strong regulation of consumer insurance means that if you have problems with e.g the decision made, there is an independent organisation who can review the case for you.

You usually have to use a law firm which has an arrangement with the insurer, or one who will accept the lower rates the insurers have negotiated but again if you feel there is an issue with the quality on offer you can make a complaint.

I presume something similar is offered in NL.
Agreed. As I mentioned there’s the additional side of having kids soon enough such that my mother is young enough to enjoy them as well.
> "first and foremost, she seems stupid."

You are attacking her, and not her argument with that comment. The rest is about her argument, but that's an ad hominem attack.

I responded because I agree that it's not a well-thought position, but I don't think this betrays anything about her intelligence, which you are attacking with that comment.
Yeah, there's also tablets like the Remarkable which claim to be hackable. I've thought of trying to build this myself.

With the right plugins maybe Anki wouldn't be too bad, still not as seamless as a dedicated device though. And I think this idea is important enough to warrant a dedicated device. Imagine how helpful it could be to have all students trained to use such a device to memorize their own notes. Memorization alone isn't enough, but it can serve as a foundation to build knowledge on top of. Many student lack any sort of foundation, and efficient memorization would do a lot for them.
I have no doubt that there is a correlation and I did read the Bayesian Vector Autoregression paper. However, I think it's a bit misleading for a doctor to take to social media with some very casual observations of Amazon reviews and make confident claims that covid is about to "surge" so therefore we should all return to masking. I need a lot more than just his screenshots of the reviews. I need to see the cases actually surging. They aren't in most of the world. One of his "no scent" reviews was actually just a subjective review that the scent isn't strong enough. The others were from a week ago. His linked article claims "COVID-19 cases predicted more “no smell” reviews. For every 100,000 new COVID-19 cases per week, he found, “no smell” reviews increased by a quarter of a percentage point in the next week." So shouldn't we have seen this surge already?

This just feels sloppy to me.
Not even that, Amazon lets you pay with cash now relatively easily on its own.

Historically, this number would be just really depressing.

If police brutality numbers are higher against black and brown persons, I’d assume the false positive number for convictions is awful especially in the Southern US.

Bias against the poor and minorities isn’t limited to police but extends to juries, judges and prosecutors sadly.
What’s a good email to get in contact with you?
The type of place that you are most likely to need one of those will try to keep their official FTE headcount just below the minimum of 15 and use offshore contractors for the rest, or other loopholes such as shell companies, because there are so many labor laws (including FMLA) that don’t kick in until 15 employees.
Pitch correction exists.
Wow, that's such an insane clickbait, 99% incorrect headline. I guess those RealTesla people dissing Cleantechnica were correct.
Soundness is of relatively minor importance on account of rejecting the occasional correct program is a reasonable price to pay for rejecting all incorrect programs. Especially when you can allow the programmer to hint the analyzer.
It's also kind of happened for audio quality where when someone is being interviewed, its natural for the host to be in crisp quality while the guest has crappy airpods mic quality. And how games show black bars on the top and bottom for cut scenes. It's beyond just limitations and now part of your expectation.

I will say that seeing 60fps video on youtube is very very noticeable, much more than the resolution. I personally much prefer it but I can see how others don't since it is such a difference to the normal.
