Video of Russian recruits reveals reality on the frontlines
What Is Bayesian/Frequentist Inference? (2012)
I am surprised the article didn't even mention the close call the world had on Sept 26, 1983 when a Soviet system false alarm showed a surprise US attack. Their commander at the time (Petrov?) refused to accept that it was real, otherwise WW3 might have started (and maybe ended too) on that day.

I learned about it years later when I saw a documentary on it. I realized that I was in Brussels Belgium on that day and would likely have been vaporized in an attack.
This is readable... if I zoom in. Might be good for screens that are extremely low-resolution, but large. Maybe something that isn't actually intended to be a screen or something.
With vim, you have to `:set mouse=a`. With neovim, it's the default configuration.

Emacs has a similar setting.
Kim Jung Gi was not infertile. As much as he kept private life private, that much is known.
> do the baggage handlers at Lufthansa have free time to go searching for AirTags?

"Detect airtags nearby" is an app you can download.
The linked font has 92 characters (lowercase, uppercase, digits, symbols, punctuation)

A 3x2 font can only represent 64 (2^6) characters.

So I guess part of the golfing would be defining what the minimum set of characters is.
>The battery that goes in an AirTag is the same as in a lot of wristwatches and I expect it would look like a wristwatch via x-ray.

If it's just scare tactics then the similarity to watches is irrelevant. However, if for whatever reason they want to crack down on it, it being similar to wristwatches isn't going to stop them. I suspect most wristwatches are kept with the person rather than in checked luggage, and that if were actually determined they could demand a search of your luggage if they spot anything that remotely looks like an airtag on x-ray.

I once forgot to put my cell phone in airplane mode during a flight from London to SFO (and didn't use my phone during the flight). I was rather alarmed to see a flood of text messages from my carrier welcoming me to Iceland, Canada, and the US upon my landing.
Statistics on massive data sets does not intelligence make.
Keep in mind that this is the same field which uses multidimensional arrays that fail to obey tensor transformation laws (because ML requires the kind of nonlinear structure introduced by functions such as ReLU that requires a preferred basis and cannot be transformed between bases) but insists on calling them tensors.
If you could search through github projects (torchvision, mmdetection, etc) and index high quality pytorch snippets, that would be awesome. I learn a lot about how to manipulate tensors and achieving specific deep learning tasks from GitHub projects, that’s how I answer various questions on how to implement key ideas with pytorch.
It's realistic to expect people to remember a difficult password eventually. It's not realistic to expect them to recover the SIM card from a phone that was stolen from them in the middle of the night and pawned for drugs or broken down into parts.
Yeah - whatever Germany - still going to do it

It’s not broken for them.
You're thinking of the frequent flyer programs. An airline, via its FF program, is a proprietary central bank that sometimes flies people (and occasionally, even their luggage!) from A to B.

I'm really interested in this off-handed remark from the author. Not having children of my own, and being many years removed from the US public school system, what exactly are they getting at here? I'm assuming it's related to common core?

TL;DR: Lufthansa argues that baggage trackers fall in the category of portable electronic devices, and are therefore subject to dangerous goods regulations issued by the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO)
You're reducing the concept to an absurdly simplistic level in order to create simple vulnerabilities.

As I wrote, THIS WOULD NOT BE THE DEFAULT. It is quite possible to pre nominate the specific groups that can allow unlocking of an individual account. And that's all it is, account unlock when they use a new device, or putting the account into PW only mode for a period.

If the PW is forgotten you require a higher level of identity verification, like a bank/USPS/DMV process.

Facebook already has this enabled, you can have a friend/family member (or two of them!) validate your account.

If you're determined not to find solutions then you won't progress.
> As a kid who ruined their studies because of this game, wanting to meet Boon after learning about the Noob Saibot backstory was it!

I met Ed Boon at the premier of Mortal Kombat II.

Talking to him was one of the things that basically convinced me to stop trying to work in videogames. Up until I met him, my dream was to make videogames.

I wish I'd taken pictures, the entire cast of Mortal Kombat II was there. This was at the AMOA show in Anaheim California, where companies that run vending routes meet up with companies that sell things like arcade games and pinballs and jukeboxes and vending machines.
Yes. And he traveled through multiple countries and travelled a lot due to his work.

It is quite unlikely he got vaccination shortly before his hearth attack. He would have had to have it while traveling for it to be close enough rather then, more sensibly, him taking vaccine at home around time most people took one.

I was hosting some friends who were on vacation. They live across the US. Long story short, one of them had to go to the emergency room and was subsequently diagnosed with cancer, very far from home.

He said OK, I don't live anywhere near here. You will just transfer all this info to my "home" doctor, right? The doctor seeing him said "not necessarily."

Assuming I'm reading this article right, thank fucking god no one else will have to go through that.
And now I understand why it doesn't just read, "I tweeted something then edited the tweet to quote itself."

Social security should be for those that can't work aka those that can no longer stand, unless there are jobs that would allow them to sit.

The social security trust is scheduled to run dry over the next decade and benefits will need to be cut by ~25% because it has been chronically underfunded over the past decades. Note that a majority of the current beneficiaries of SS vote against raising taxes to fund it while also being against cutting benefits.
How not to build a Markdown processor
United does, Emirates does.

They're just exposing internal scans "bag dropped off", "bag in X storage area", "bag loaded on tug train" and an abstracted "bag loaded on plane" which is probably just a single scan of the tug train barcode, much like USPS will scan bundles of mail instead of individual items.

Every airline has this functionality internally. Even the really small ones. They just don't choose to publicize it.
To be most aesthetic, please disguise it as a palm tree... or maybe an additional tail fin?
Yep. I met him too. He was open and honest, basically convinced me NOT to work on videogames lol

We just deployed Grafana across our company and are very impressed with it. All this functionality for $8/user/mo is amazing.
The former Wikimedia CEO (she left in 2021) is now on the Atlantic Council and currently serves on the US Department of State’s Foreign Affairs Policy Board:

https://www.atlanticcouncil.org/expert/katherine-maher/

Then-US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton sent Richard Boly as a representative of the Office of eDiplomacy to the 2012 Wikimania conference. At the time, Boly was "leading an ambitious State Department initiative that uses social media and online platforms to change the way employees communicate and reach outside their boundaries to advance U.S. foreign policy interests" according to the Washington Post:

https://www.washingtonpost.com/local/dc-politics/federal-fac...

Boly's Wikimania speech is here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o0NsY48OQdc&t=457s

A few years later, the person put in charge of facilitating the Wikimedia Strategy 2030 process was Hillary Clinton's former Trips Director, Whitney Williams:

https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Strategy/Wikimedia_movement/...

The PR company that has looked after Wikimedia for the past decade or so is Minassian Media, run by the chief communications and marketing officer of the Clinton Foundation, who formerly was assistant press secretary and director of television news in the White House for President Bill Clinton:

The Chief Advancement Officer at Wikimedia is the politically very well connected lady here:

The current CEO is Maryana Iskander; she has been a speaker at the Clinton Global Initiative and presented her work to Bill Clinton when he visited South Africa:

Wikimedia also partners extensively with the Tides Foundation and Tides Advocacy ... So there are very significant political connections in the US.
Indeed, and for upper/lowercase there's a reason why 5x7 has become a de-facto standard for character LCDs; the letters EeMmWw all have 5 "elements" horizontally, and vertically you'd want more than 5 in order to distinguish upper/lowercase.
I have pretty much gone back to for loops for anything besides the simplest map()'s. You can get reduce() to do some pretty cool things that always need more lines of comments to explain than a for loop and some variables.
Asia and the US have a much better track record than Europe. Like, your bag is 5-8x more likely to get lost in Europe.
I've argued this so many times and it now exhausts me.

there's another comment by me in this thread somewhere that summarizes it well, but because you asked nicely:

WARNING: OPINION AHEAD

electron encourage bad tradeoffs and because of that it is an ecological problem, literally. many thousands or millions of people suffer sluggish software and must continually wait for their electron application to respond so a few developers can save a few weeks of time. it's the exact wrong tradeoff.

web developers infest this site so I am downvoted every time I say this, but I simply do not care. web tech today is absolutely horrible and if you know that (how could you NOT) and you write web software that does not improve the landscape, you are morally bankrupt.
Have you actually tried disabling 2FA? Because I just did. I followed the steps above then signed in to Google from a clean browser profile with password only. No problem. Then I connected to a VPN in a different country and signed in from another clean profile. Again, no problem.

If you have 2FA enabled, then yes, of course it will ask you for the second factor if you're doing something unusual.

But with 2FA disabled, logging in with just a password works fine.

The original intention for most of the flags was to keep them aligned with rsync. The feature only compressed the data in flight, as opposed to -Z/z which stored the compressed version. This didn't directly align to anything in rsync, so I picked an unused letter in rsync (-J/j).

In retrospect, it might have had a better home as some option on -Z/z, or if I had the tool figure out if you were bottlenecked on bandwidth, spare compute, and your data compressed well, and apply it automatically.
I am a senior manager but not an MBA. Years ago a legacy dot com wanted to hire me as a consultant. The guy I was supposed to report to asks a question on the lines of how would you handle such and such scenario. I indicated I would handle it in a collaborative nature and bring the negotiation to closure. He wanted to know if I would start the conversation with my subordinate with a “f you”. I said I can’t and walked out at that moment in the middle of the interview. They call me 2 weeks later if I can come back lol. Long story short most (caveat) MBA types are a scourge.

This sounds like an argument against TV or movies or the internet. Those things are also substitutes for real life experiences and yet people still spend huge amounts of time with them. VR doesn’t have to preclude the rest of the world. It’s an addition to it. When you don’t have the money or the time or the energy to go out it’s nice to be able to jump into something like VR and have fun with others from the comfort of your home.
It has to provide value above the perceived cost. Many times, I sign up for a service to solve a specific problem. Once that problem is solved, I don’t need yet another subscription every month ticking away at the bank account like a flea. So I cancel. If I need it again, I re-subscribe. Half the time, when I can’t even try something to see if it will work if I pay for it, I just leave the page in search of another solution. Especially smartphone apps that have a landing page and immediate sign up without a trial. No thanks, the dark pattern is strong and I’m out. App deleted, never go back. First impression is everything. Give me enough to know if it will work, and I’ll pay. But I won’t pay beyond its usefulness. I have a very selective amount of things on recurring monthly charges. Things with high value like offsite backup. Or music. Or streaming. But even streaming I cancel and re subscribe every few months and try another one. Bottom line is don’t expect once a customer, forever a customer. Lifetime subscriptions for high but working reach price are interesting. Flighty for me was that. Drop a couple hundred and never deal with subscription again. Over one hour of saved time it pays for itself.
> by exchanging public keys over an established communication channel

I get the appeal, but seems like requiring out of band key exchange will add significant friction and make signal much less popular compared to the competition. I've got a few dozen signal contacts, only a few of them close enough to do a key exchange. If I only had a few, not sure I'd use signal.

Signal has been resisting making special cases for the few, and I get it. Why spend developer time on some feature that's not going to benefit the majority of users?

> the problem is that your phone number is your Signal identity, which is utterly moronic for a "privacy-first" service

I can't think of anything that would work as well and result in so many (40M monthly) people communicating securely. They do seem to be considering their options to help with this, in particular: https://signal.org/blog/secure-value-recovery/

Allowing social networks, surviving the death of your phone, frictionless on boarding, account recovery, etc all interact in complex ways.

Personally I like that there's not a contact database/social graph inside signal.

You’re aiming to project maximum evil. While emotionally satisfying, it does not usually have good predictive powers. What you should be doing is to predict maximum laziness instead. As in, they will probably only destroy airtags inside a particular luggage when they know that the luggage is already lost and it would be embarrasing for them if its location was known.
cr2032 are lithium, but not usually the same chemistry as rechargeable lithium ion. (side note, some cr2032 cells for use as battery backup for realtime clocks are actually rechargeable, which is pretty cool) However, as the sibling comment says, they are allowed because there is a threshold below which batteries are allowed.
Headline is misleading. The policy says nothing about AirTags. It’s just that their new policy would cover them, technically.

HN has an API and there are already various remix sites. I also suspect they a blacklist would take care of many of the ad-laden stuff that is posted. Or an automatic change to the archive link instead of e.g. forbes or Bloomberg which always require a bypass. What I'm saying I guess is it should be easy for interested readers to achieve this themselves (and hopefully share when they do)

Not just this summer. Europe has been worse than worldwide since at least 2018.

Nothing much (ok probably lots) infuriates me more than intentionally breaking software as a way to push you toward an OS, even if it is Linux.
Knotweed is pretty horrific to homeowners. In the UK specifically, it seems that you can be liable for damage to neighboring properties done by knotweed on your land. Similar to the land a gas station was built on, its value can be negative due to the cost of cleanup. For knotweed, that's a 20 foot deep hole several times larger than the visible infestation, and in the UK, you can't cart the soil somewhere, you need to sterilize it and bury it in place. Since the rhizomes spread everywhere, tens of meters laterally, an infected house is the sign of an infected neighborhood, any cleanup must be coordinated to be effective.
> Old, like from a time when it respected your freedom more?

Old and broken as in "You can't update the firmware" because updating the firmware with proprietary software is Bad, but using the proprietary firmware that ships with the product is A-OK.

It's funny reading this stuff. I played in what would become "EVO", way back in 1992.

There were around 40 people there, about ten of them competing. It was held at an arcade that was downstairs in the La Jolla mall in San Diego.

This was the first worldwide Street Fighter II tournament, that later evolved into the EVO tournament.

Similarly, the same thing happened in C#.

Where Go and C# have differed is where generics are common. In the introduction of generics into C#/.NET, their use was added everywhere. Microsoft made a huge point of including built-in List<T> and ArrayList<T> and other common things that would benefit from generics.

Go however has drawn the line in the sand that generics are not allowed into the standard library for now. Rob Pike has been vocal about this [1] and I can almost agree with him.

Part of the issue is that the way Go handles the standard library. Part of the issue is how libraries in general are managed.

* Go’s standard library is simultaneously “just a git repo in the ether” and “A thing shipped with the Go compiler runtime”. Like any other library.
* Libraries in general being “Just another git repo”, many haven’t been updated to use Go modules. Because Go doesn’t have a good central repository for go libraries, I don’t have good numbers on this.

Charge... how?
So what? Because websites are someone's imaginary property, they're somehow justified in literally wiretapping anyone who ever visits it? No.

Websites are just some data and code that their servers send to my user agent. Once it's in my computer, it's under my control. Executing code and rendering elements are privileges and they can be revoked in case of abuse. If it's important enough to me I'll reverse engineer the website and write my own code to do what I want with zero foreign code execution.
If you want to go even smaller, the number of patterns that can fit in 2x4 would exhaustively represent all the values of a byte, although the majority of them will not be easily recognisable as letters without some extreme "applied imagination". At that point you might as well be reading raw binary.

Well... in 2021 we binary-patched Bolo to fix a bug and make it more convenient to use with our new Bolo game proxy server, enabling Bolo games to be played over the internet again. Some of us at 68kmla occasionally play together.

http://bolo.astrospark.com/

(Universal NAT broke Bolo internet gaming. The original network protocol was for ring-tppology serial networks (local talk, econet), and when UDP was implemented it was ported over with very little change. So the fact that the protocol depends on embedding network addresses of players meant that it completely breaks when NAT is involved.)

No, nobody can. Not even the folks that wrote the law. Not even the folks that enforce the law (DOJ) (referencing the ADA law in regards to websites). You can go look for yourself... it's created an entire cottage industry of would-be vexatious litigants, if any of the suits actually went to court.

So no, it is not easy to define or describe. There is an incredible amount of detail that must be hammered out to make it easy for everyone to become compliant.

We can also reference the EU's GDPR, or California's CCPA/CPRA. All of which are struggling to actually clearly define what they mean. What is an essential cookie? What does it mean to sell someone's personal data? Neither are what you might actually believe...

You can reject it all you want, but that does not change the reality I'm afraid.

In the broadest sense, a highly targeted search engine (like this) can provide better results because Google has to determine user search intent AND return the right results from trillions of webpages. The advantage of this search engine is that all of the users are looking for the same type of information, and the result sources can be curated to ensure high quality and relevant results.

The more targeted the topic, the harder the time Google has to provide quality signal through the noise of SEO and sheer volume of content on the web.

In addition to the above, the UI provides some cool features like allowing horizontal scrolling of sources to provider higher information density (important for discovery), and some source content can be viewed in the side pane without leaving the page.

But ultimately it would be good to hear if this approach does make it easier to find relevant and higher quality Pytorch info.
