Simply seeding for the 1+ hour you are watching the movie is typically enough to keep a torrent swarm healthy now that the majority of users have 10 Mbps+upload speeds. In that time, you can easily upload more data than you downloaded, meaning you are a net benefit for the swarm.

In a general sense, any video content where the bitrate is lower than the typical users upload bitrate could work for a webtorrent only swarm of 'regular' users who aren't going to do anything special for network health.

Clock speed has indeed plateaued, but the single-core performance of the i9 is going to be vastly superior to the Pentium 4.
Once I came to the conclusion that past actions only have a limited affect on the immediate present - like real genuine hooks versus memories of stuff - then life is a series of situational decisions. Trying to get them all “right” is a fool’s errand leading to heartache. On the flip side, it gives lots of chances to try and live out personal principles and perspectives on how to operate in this life, and takes away the guilt of existing with consciousness a little, and for me, makes each day a bit more fun.

It’s almost like being able to walk through walls in Doom (clipping life) - very powerful and a lot of people look on and wonder “how do you do that?” because I am a genuinely happy guy.
I don't recall having dreams about it, no.

The perch are one of the only fine details I have, which is interesting. That and the scalp sensation.

I don't remember falling, and I don't remember the aftermath. I'm sure it only lasted a few seconds.
A BT client doesn’t need to do DNS resolution for peers, since peers are bare IP addresses. It does need to resolve DNS for tracker domains when periodically announcing, and a public torrent can have a lot of trackers. Those add up if tracker domains have low TTL, I suppose.
True, there were recipients that really deserved it, including the winners this year. Blunders like with e.g. Obama just leave a really bitter taste wrt to the overall integrity.

If someone asks me to install a Torrent client on a single machine, my favorite would be QBittorrent, however at home I use XigmaNAS' Transmission client extensively, and operate it from other machines in the LAN using the Transgui interface (also available on Windows and MacOS). This allows me to turn off everything but the NAS, which with all RAID disks spun down and a TDP of 15 Watts makes for some good energy savings.

Agree. I often tell myself, and others, when bad things happen: Eventually, something good will happen, and you had to go through the bad things to get there.

That said, it’s hard not to regret getting a real band together while my voice was still there.

> Is there some Bayesian version of decision trees where you model each decision in the tree as a beta distribution or something? Then you could simply choose the leaf or path with the highest confidence.

Sure... there's many things you could do "force" a decision tree to output a real scalar/vector (that you can then threshold): for example, you could use a regression tree where leafs are logistic/multinomial GLM.

My point is that most types of decision trees (including CART decision trees) do not work like that by default (and they are considered pretty standard classifiers in ML literature), unlike what was claimed by igorkraw.

> I can imagine having confidence in the final decision to also be useful for model ensembling. Curious what the right way to do this might be, or to know if there are no advantages vs. simple threshold trees.

Sure, you could use ensembles of decision trees (e.g. random forests) to estimate a continuous value that perhaps (but not surely) correlates with "confidence" or "probability", which you can then threshold to obtain a binary value.

But, again, this is beyond what a "vanilla" decision tree is attempting to do (note: a decision tree is usually not explicitly trying to model the probability of each sample belonging to class X or Y).

Thank you for sharing your deeply personal experience, I’m sorry to read you’ve been through that.
> The peace prize is given out by a committee elected by _Norwegian parliament_ a political organization

Eh, the problems we got from Liu Xiaobo being awarded the prize, it should be pretty clear the Norwegian government has little say in who the prize is awarded to.
Impossible to track with 100% accuracy, yes. But not completely meaningless to do some basic tracking. A torrent client could implement some tracking on their own, where they keep track of seen clients and keep track how much been uploaded vs downloaded from them (effectively ratio per client) and upload slower to clients you've never encountered that have been uploading.
I could go to jail in my country for stuff like this. I'm not going to punch anyone, but it would have been nice at the time:)

6% SN also has no household use. The thread is wrong to imply it does. Curing salt is <1% SN, so either way you need to dilute it.
> I would say Transmission has simpler UI

This is true but for me this is a disadvantage. qBitTorrent allows to fine-tune a lot of settings. Not as many as Tixati but still.
I tend to agree, however depending on the size of fish and some other factors, many don't scare off very far. I don't think it's definitive.

I'm not actually familiar with perch as an adult. I last caught one when I was maybe 8 years old. After googling, I believe they were "yellow perch" (caught in northern Indiana)
I think awarding it to Obama was the wrong decision. That said, people sometimes misunderstand what the Nobel Peace Prize is about. "Peace" is interpreted in a very abstract sense by the committee and should perhaps be better understood as "Civilizational Progress". The reason the committee awarded it to Obama was because it wanted to commend the progress the US has made on the Civil Rights movement. Dr. Martin Luther King received the peace prize, and Obama is seen as a culmination of this movement. In short, Obama's prize should be seen as a prize given to the American people for their progress.

Taxes and regulation have led to little innovation coming out of the EU. Now the EU government is just trying to suck as much money as they can out of American tech companies.
Recently I’ve told those close to me “any decision with enough hindsight can be seen as good or bad” - like we wanted to sell some Pixar Cars play sets a while ago but never got around to it in a year or so.

This week Disney+ just debuted Cars: On the Road a series and now they are popular again here at home. Went out and got them cleaned up and back in action. So failed at the sale goal for over a year, then they failure turned into a convenient win that was unforeseen cuz I had no idea a new Cars bit was coming.

I did get a hint at the grocery store though when I saw a new die cast character. Some kinda rusty monster truck. Yes…I am trying to collect them all…
Deluge showing your public IP in the UI is a big plus for me.
I do think that my brain may have fabricated that part. It's the fishy part--pun intended.

I have never been picked up again by my scalp, so I think that's decent reason to believe the memory of the physical sensation is pretty accurate.

There's not a lot else to the memory.
Sounds like a really shitty experience. Just a reminder of something which you know anyway: it's the perpetrator's fault, not yours. I guess I want to say something trite like "don't hang onto regret (or what feels like it) for someone else's actions" but I realise that's way simplistic. It seems that you were just living your life, working a job. That's normal, and (again overly trite, apologies) nothing to regret.

Best wishes!!

Edit: On re-reading what I wrote, it might seem that I'm saying you don't have the right to feel regret. Not my intention, sorry if it reads that way. It feels, though, that you shouldn't have to feel regret for living a normal life with normal decisions.

> that the other fellow engineers thought impossible or too expensive or unworthy to build

This is not an exhaustive list and you have just picked the points that support your weak argument.
The problem is that many times, the "originals" (or official sources) become unavailable.

There's a ton of old 80s/90s DOS games and 8-bit games that we still have now because of digital hoarders. If it weren't for them, they'd be lost because the original companies are long gone and most people just trash stuff.

Now look at how much stuff regularly disappears from video services like Netflix and Amazon Prime.
And as the reported stats originate from the torrent client... They're able to report whatever they want.

I remember using some obscure tool before 2010 to intercept these packages and update them.
I was in my early teens back then and used it to overreport my upload statistics by something like x2 on some private trackers, so they wouldn't ban me.
Also, can't you get more/less difficult puzzles by altering where the clues are, or how many? It would feel like a totally different puzzle.
To anyone full of regret, I'd just like to give a quote by Marcus Aurelius (a Roman Emperor and stoic philosopher)

Think of yourself as dead. You have lived your life. Now take what's left and live it properly.

Life likely hasn't been perfect for almost anyone, but would you rather die right now (with likely unfinished desires, wishes and more regrets) or would you try to make the best use of what you have?

(It may be a bit difficult to fully live as per the quote even if you're already familiar with stoicism - it's quite hard for me too - but something that sometimes helps me is to literally visualize yourself dead as of now.

Maybe a stroke.

Would you be happy?

If not, you should do something about it.)

> lugging around a backup device would be too inconvenient

I kind of do this. I bought two used laptops a few years ago, one 13" XPS and a big bulky ~17" ThinkPad. The XPS is great for meetings, the other one is great for software development, and I have a backup ready and set up, ready to go. And if I travel for more than a day I sometimes take both. (So far the strategy seems to be flawless, as both work in well their own sub-par broken but reliable way, as Windows machines tend to, maybe each one is kept blinking by pride, or just to spite the other one. :D)
Kissinger wasn't enough to have you questions it?
Yup, downloading stuff reliably over lousy internet connections (packet loss, high latency, intermittent uptime). HTTP really sucks with that.
the past two years have been forcing young people to be confined, become mentally and physically unhealthy so that we can protect the old ones. its not a matter of days. the body builds up stress and organs accelerate their destruction when physical activity or mental health go down
No, thanks, my old 4 year laptop is upgraded to Windows 11 already.
What settings would the average user find useful beyond adding a blocklist (which Transmission supports)? Genuinely curious as someone who used Transmission back in the day and appreciated the simplicity.
Did you take it seriously before, or did it just trigger you somehow that he got it?

Come again, why is `i++` obviously an error when `i` is zero?

I’d expect an arithmetic operation to fail if I, say, divide by 0. Not if I add 1 to zero!

The amount of dangerous shit I can get at Academy makes this entire argument ridiculous, so I agree with you.

what is my political agenda? you are the one talking about republican and democrats. I am merely stating that the past two years have been bad for young (before 50's) people health and the impact of the 2years of confinment, lack of physical activity, unemployment, closing of their business, mental stress hurt a lot of those young people. now add that yes the vaccines seemed to also cause myocarditis specifically in males it is a fact not a political agenda.
Some TV series aren't available everywhere. As an example, I'm currently watching "Dark", a wonderful 2017 German series (think about a grittier, darker, Stranger Things) that was dubbed in English but still doesn't seem to be available in other parts of Europe.

There are also other more legit usages of BitTorrent: I use it often to download Linux install images so that the network load is distributed among users and I do not tax excessively the servers.

1. Samsung ( Foundry ) has a culture and history of over promise and under deliver.

2. RoadMaps ( at least one like this ) are for investor only.

3. Samsung is also the reason why we have "nm" numbers that dont at least correlate to something. ( 99.9999% of the Internet blame TSMC for it ) And those numbers you see on roadmap means nothing.

4. But credit where credit is due Samsung is very serious about catching up to TSMC. Their total investment numbers dont lie.

IMO There simply isn't enough space for three leading edge Foundry. So either Samsung or Intel will have to let go. And Intel currently has the upper hand in terms of geopolitical and business backing. Which is what I think this article and PR to investor is all about. Samsung is not giving up without a fight. ( And why there are rumours about Samsung buying ARM from Softbank )
To be fair, so is the original Drift screensaver from Apple. I only briefly used it before realising it was gobbling up tons of power and heating my laptop up.
Who is using OS/2 today (in business)? What are the advantages over any other solution? Is it just about maintenance of legacy systems, or is there something new built on this platform?
But the inefficiencies you sometimes see today can’t even be explained with any bad choice of language. You can create more than fast enough programs with interpreted languages with garbage collection. But then of course you need to know at least a little bit about data structures and not doing dozens of REST calls anytime anyone taps the screen.
Thank you very much, for educating me.

I’ve tried it before: FreeBSD, OpenBSD, Linux with X and regular as well as tiling WMs. In the end I found no productive advantage to just using Rectangle [1] and LaunchBar [2] on macOS. The system mostly works and enables access to all the Unix software I need. Most of the time I just need a shell, tmux and a web browser.

The ongoing fiddling around – to this day – with a substandard experience regarding battery life, WiFi performance and GPU issues as well as HiDPI especially on laptops is a dealbreaker for me.

But then again, that may be a major purpose of desktop Unix, Linux especially: to enable those who see fiddling around (read: hacking) as an end in itself. After all, a dedicated car mechanic will never be truly happy driving a Toyota.

Arafat at least signed a peace treaty that superficially ended one of the most impactful and divisive conflicts of our time. He arguably came closest at the times to being the Palestinian Mandala (alas he had many flaws to be that imo)

I would definitely not put him in the same category as awarding it to either Obama or Kissinger. If anything they initiated or architected some of the worst conflicts in the last 50 years.
We have confirmed proof that Putin sent people originally assigned to those missile installations you mentioned to instead be cannon fodder in Ukraine.

He is leaving plenty of places less protected (probably woth the exception of Moscow).

Also, not all fighting skills are transferable. Some were not sent and probably wont be sent to Ukraine (except as cannon fodder) because there is nothing usefull they can do.

If Russia still had unused human resources they would not be drafting at an enormous internal stability cost.
How can you be proved wrong about a genuine question? You're making a claim, not asking a question. In which case, the burden of proof is on the person making the claim. We aren't going to do your research for you.
I am not, in fact "thundering". You made that up. Stop it. I said nothing about "existential threats" or "threats" of any kind. You made that up. Stop it.

Every last dollar going into fraudulent fusion startups, and via federal grants from taxes into constructing ITER, is in fact diverted from potentially productive research. Fraud is a pure negative.
I do work occasionally in an office and have personally walked the floor to make sure the AEDs are correctly located on our floor plans and electronic signage and filed facility tickets to get the maps updated. (They were originally not correct.)

I believe in the benefit of AEDs. I also believe the average number of lives saved per AED installed in an office is way, way less than 1.0, and almost surely lower than 0.001 which was the point of this sub-thread.

I recently got rid of all my CD-Rs I'd use for archiving back in the day. Moved everything to a NAS and dumped CDs.

The earliest CDs I had were from 1994 or so, though most were from early 2000s. They were mostly cheapest CD-Rs you could buy back then, so I was expecting most of them be completely unusable.

But most of them still read perfectly. I had maybe half a dozen (out of hundreds) that were completely unreadable, mostly due to peeling, about a dozen that were functionally unreadable, because there were so many unreadable files I couldn't save anything complete out of them, and maybe 10% that had less than 10 unreadable files on them.

I was surprised. I was really expecting almost all the early ones to be dead.

> Although pre-industrial forms of paper (e.g. cotton paper, or papyrus) might have more long-term resistance than modern wood paper.

The problem is not wood paper as such, it's production processes that leave some acidic substances in the paper, which causes it to become yellow and brittle on a timescale of a few decades.

Acid-free paper will easily last hundreds of years, and is nowadays easily available.
> You can easily emulate object storage with e.g. s3 compatible APIs

This seems right in theory, but when you actually look at the details it stops being true.

Specifically, Lucene today is best served through memory mapping the files and using crazy amounts of RAM.

My guess, Elastic just no longer cares about latency sensitive users. Even going from ES 5 to ES 7 there was a performance reduction for queries using any multi-word synonyms. It’s likely this trend is set to continue with remote storage.

I still think it’s the correct trade off for ES. Most of their clients use them for latency-insensitive analytics/log type stuff.

The "pattern coder", applies design patterns the all parts of his code without really understanding why. His trust in authorities such as people that give tech talks are the only reason needed to why his coding style is good. This person often ends up with very slow code that no one can modify or debug because his hello world function uses 200 sub-functions spread over 400 files. A common speech pattern of this archetype is "This is how you write stable/mantainable code".

Edit: Just noticed it's only about "staff"-engineers. I wondered why there were only 4. However, i think the "solver" isnt part of the staff either.
