There is also another term for this: ADHD. Even though ADHD does not really have anything to do with attention, it is more of a motivation-issue, which can led to starting new, promising projects instead of finishing projects, because you find more and more obstacles.

I think comparing the US to others is often a bad comparison. Most others have coalitions and you'll find that two coalitions dominate. In the US parties act as coalitions. We can see the wide range in opinions from people like Warren/Sanders/AOC compared to those like Pelosi/Biden/Harris. Even in the Republican side you have this massive division, though they've been more effective lately at achieving a party over principle strategy. So two coalitions isn't really any better than what's here in the US because it is in essence the same thing.
Maybe if work was actually meta-fied, there'd be some reason to try it. Like the only way a bug report could be filed or a ticket closed was through some VR metaphor. I have a feeling they need the creativity of the engineers to figure out why they'd bother dogfooding it.
To be fair, Ubuntu had a hard time with lot of hardware too at the time ;-)

Hi, lead developer of CheerpX here. The main difference is about the level of performance we can reach thanks to our sophisticated JIT engine. Feel free to try running a payload yourself in v86 vs WebVM to see the difference.

I think mostly because they don't need to have that much processing power compare to a smartphone, due to their bigger lens/sensor - so they don't need to use higher end processing unit. You can delay the postprocessing to a dedicated (external) software so to say.

One big advantage you have with dedicated hardware also is the reduced need to have a virtual interface (though UX is quite often in dire need to be improved on them, especially for advance configuration). A bit like knob are better in a car in a general way.

But to be honest, at the end, it's clearly a difference of philosophy. I'd wager that the smartphone maker have better understood the market than the camera maker for a while.

Anyone who has little kids often needs to shoot erratically moving subjects in a dimly lit environment. Low light is where most progress in imaging is made, I’d say perhaps over the last 7 years, ever since outright resolution stopped mattering (the others are dynamic range and focus performance). Everything that happened since like OIS, new generations of image sensors, computational photography etc came to serve longer shutter exposures to get more light into the sensor.
Sure, thanks, I can see how it can happen now, and actually it revealed my understanding of preferential voting wasn't entirely correct.
As for "favorite betrayal criterion" - I actually think it's a feature of preferential voting that I actually take advantage of, whereby I vote [1] for a minor candidate who has policies I agree with but I accept is not in a realistic position to govern effectively (due to lack of experience/resources etc.), but [2] for the party that I'm happy to actually win, providing they're aware they're relying on 2nd preference votes from another party that they can't just ignore.
Pretty sure that part of the phenomenon of people getting paranoid from being stoned has to do with the prosecution in the first place, the drug enhancing this perception or not.
This seems a bit sensationalist. The AI is reading. It's not understanding.
If you're looking to game the system, the the point is to make this hard. The entire point is that we're trying to understand your preference in candidates. That's all that needs to be understood. Moving your preferences around slightly has little effect on purpose. If it had large effects, like RCV has, it would violate the monotonicity criteria and make it likely for the favorite betrayer criteria to fail. Both criteria that RCV fails btw and I think most people care about these criteria a lot, even if they don't fully understand them.
I should check my archive, but as of years ago, I have yet to find one bad disk. Anyone who cared could easily read up about it: writing at maximum speed produces marginal media. Writing at lower speed produces media with lower initial error rate and higher contrast, so much better longevity.

America has ratings and similar censorship for games too. They also have strong cultural/economic taboos that work on top of it. They censor different things and different topics tho.

Every country has something that rates or censors entertainment for popular consumption. Some are overbearing or carry criminal offenses (Iran, Russia) and some are more off economic (store wont sell your game).
Wasm cannot indeed do much beside manipulating it's own memory and pure computation. Anything interesting happens via "imports", which are arbitrary functions implemented in JavaScript.

The networking capabilities are implemented via a JS API (itself, compiled from Go to WebAssembly/JavaScript). This Go library connects to Tailscale DERPs via WebSockets to provide network access to the Tailscale network of each user.

Refine – React-based framework for the rapid development of web applications
I hear people bring up this argument in the Netherlands as well, when talking about the safety of nuclear energy. It does not put me entirely at ease though; the Netherlands is a very tiny and pretty crowded place, you are never far away from a city. And these statistics might very well be based on reactors build in remote areas. Would it still be safe to build one near dense populations, or would a future incident drastically skew the data?
Like also for floppy disks, the older CDs had typically a higher manufacturing quality than the more recent.

This is shown in the table from the parent article, where there are 3 rows for CD-R, the best, which were specified as suitable for archival purposes, but Kodak and the few other manufacturers of such CD-R have stopped soon their production, the second best, which were the original CD-R with phthalocyanine dye and then the other CD-R, whose expected lifetime is only half, with cheaper dyes, which were introduced on the market later.

Also, as expected, the table shows that the higher the information density is, the lower the expected lifetime is, when similar materials are used.

I'm not sure what you're trying to say. The Portable Operating System Interface (POSIX) is specified in an ISO standard, and basically specifies what a UNIX operating system's programmable interfaces are.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/POSIX

POSIX also specifies stuff like "awk must be made available". Is that what you think the C programming language specifies?
Any MaxVoting method which is any voting method where all voters can freely rate all candidates and all of that information is used to determine a winner (Approval, STAR, Majority Judgement, Division Free, Vote 321, etc.) pushes candidates toward the majority opinion platform, the single political platform that best represents that group of voters at that time.

Min voting methods which is any voting method that forces voters to pick only one candidate (plurality, ranked choice voting) favors either the left or right political power position, traditionally held by Republicans and Democrats.

Alaska's special election resulted in a race between a Democrat and a Republican where the winner received about 50% of the vote. How did that change anything?

RCV is just plurality with a 50% threshold. San Francisco had that until it switched to RCV so it could stop paying for the live run offs.

For ending division, MaxVoting methods--any MaxVoting method--will work. It should be up to the people of that area which one they want instead of being imposed from the outside by experts. CommonSenseforUnitingAmerica.org
In my opinion, the issue here is the iPad.

When I started using computers, it was a tower with a proper screen and no camera no microphone. That meant the risk of apps spying on me was low and my parents could see everything on-screen to make sure bad stuff doesn't happen.

But giving the kid an iPad means apps know that there's a camera and a microphone available. And it means typically nobody else sees what's on your screen. And it makes it easy to bring "the internet" into your bedroom.

Using social media always means giving up privacy. So I feel like it's not unreasonable for parents to require it as a prerequisite for a minor to interact online. And that means the device needs to have a screen which is easily visible to parents at most/all times.

Take This with You: The Minimalistic Web Developer Self Care Kit
There's a big difference between not caring about stability, and being willing to trade precision for better memory bandwidth for an application that doesn't benefit from increased precision. When doing large training jobs on TPUs, stability is paramount! It's true that you have to know more about what you're doing when you reduce bit-depth - the horrors of floating point are harder to ignore, and it's wildly inappropriate for many scientific computations. However the reduction of bit-depth is likely to continue as we seek to make modern models more efficient and economical to train and use.
Like others have mentioned the entire field of sensor fusion deals with this problem. It is a very challenging problem to solve but it can be solved and it has been successfully used in spacecraft, aircraft, fighter jets, phones, AR/VR systems, and undoubtedly many others.

A basic approach is to have an uncertainty (or estimated uncertainty) for each of the sensing modalities. Then you use the uncertainties to weigh each sensing sample when deriving your estimated quantity (i.e. vehicle velocity for example). Assuming the uncertainties are correct, the resulting estimator can have variance lower than estimators deriving from a single sensor modality. Of course tuning sensor uncertainty values is a difficult problem in sensor fusion (and much more so when distributions are unknown) but it is definitely doable.

Repeating Elon's claim that sensor fusion is impossible/not-doable is entirely wrong. It is a technology that powers many different applications but its definitely not an easy thing to implement well.

I answered this in my comment:

> That water was drained, precisely because of concerns that it would melt down and come into contact with water.

Even if the concrete base under the reactor was breached, the water underneath had been drained. In retrospect this was unnecessary, but it added another layer of precaution.

Furthermore, what makes you think a potential explosion after coming into contact with water would be "massively" worse than the original reactor explosion? In case you aren't aware, the RBMK-1000 was a water cooled reactor. The explosion happened because the temperatures inside became so high that the pressure vessel ruptured. By comparison, the contact with the water beneath the reactor hall would not be trapped in a pressure vessel and wouldn't result generate such pressure.

What actually produced the most amount of nuclear contamination was the period of time when the fuel rods were exposed to atmosphere and burned. This put large amounts of contaminants - radioactive smoke, essentially - into the atmopshere.
This is feel-good "Apple wouldn't do that" handwaving ... but apparently without checking the facts.

Yes, fly ash concrete seems more sustainable than concrete without it (provided that the fly ash already exists) in certain applications where its particular properties are beneficial. I seem to recall it having greater durability under compressive loads, so roads can be built that require less frequent repair. In the US, we have enough roads falling apart I think we could use all the fly ash concrete we could possibly make, and we wouldn't have any extra to build substandard, energy-inefficient housing.

Yes, people forget that the core to Fischer's approach was to start with a hypothesis, a plausible mechanism which would cause (or at least explain) the outcome. Only then is it fair to use a p-value to show that your measurement is "something that wouldn't happen by random chance very often."
