It was passing that test suite when being run as of their XDC talk 10 days ago using only Alyssa's bit. This update shows that when using both bits combined it now passes with the same level of conformance.

At least that's my understanding of it. You're right in that this is about both bits working together, but the person you're replying to is right in the sense that this particular update is showing specifically an update in Lina's bit.
I am delighted to live in the era where such hackery occurs and is also so easily shared.

I absolutely have a problem with considering "imagining" (especially something you've never experienced before) the same as "experiencing". I'm sorry, but giving Mary such superpowers completely invalidates the experiment for me.

It is still unclear to me exactly what data they were looking at/referring to in this article.

If you take into account bloodwork, family history, demographics, etc. then it seems like you are still only getting a few dozen data points. At this scale it seems like traditional statistics or human checks for abnormalities are going to be about as good.

Although I personally know very little (apologies for conjecturing) it does seem like there could be a lot of uses for AI for specific diagnosis. For example, when they take your blood pressure/heartbeat they only get data for one particular moment where you are sitting in a controlled environment. I would think if you had a year's worth of data (along with activity data from an apple watch) you might be able to diagnose/predict things that traditional doctors/human analysis could not.

I would also imagine anything that deals with image analyzing (like looking for tumors in scans) will be vastly better with computer AI systems than humans.
Yeah the fact that you can't "click" the "let me read it first" button (on the newletter popup) without a mouse was almost a deal breaker for me, but hitting the escape button did the trick.
their book dawn of everything connects the dots to capitalist realism and graeber's earlier books cover related territory. they would disagree with some of your conclusions. it's a great read and the complete opposite of fukuyama's end of history argument

Note that Way Cooler switched from Rust to C in 2018, because the developer felt Rust didn't work for them. It's also been archived since 2019.

Appreciate it the response- for me it's a bit personal because I spent a decade of my life trying in vain to love SFBA, and I wish that I could have information on the true experience from the hacker community.
They’re the ones the police don’t fuck with.

Do you live in the US? It’s pretty trivial to figure out who is and isn’t allowed to drive around with large sums of money, or carry a loaded weapon, as an actual practical matter.

A good way of thinking about this is to understand that there’s an in-group that the law protects but does not bind. And an out-group that the law binds but does not protect.

It’s a dark vision of the world but there are many in the in-group who seek to preserve it.
To you it's an arbitrary program. To the user it's a program they want to work.

An API should not be so preachy about which programs can theoretically be written. It should provide broad mechanisms.

It is very frustrating to work with people who think like you do, that 3 or 4 unrelated projects have to carve up narrow exceptions to how the platform works for every single use case, nominally because of theoretical harm of this exploit no one will write, but actually more based on your ego perception that you know better than every other developer on the planet.

So Wayland has this long list of impossible applications which are doable everywhere else. It's a prima donna.

My anecdotal evidence may be out of date, and my information comes from casual conversation with a graphic designer that frequented the same Yoga studio I did. That being said: 3 years ago the ecosystem for graphic design on an iPad Pro was good enough to replace a Wacom Cintiq Pro. There were tradeoffs between the two. I'd imagine situation is relatively similar nowadays.

I suppose there is some truth in that. But 8 year old me hardly knew the value of a dollar except how much sugar could be had in exchange. But that didn't stop me from spending every waking hour trying to get my Vic-20 to auto-generate dungeon mazes. From running to the shop on the 1st of every month to pick up the latest programming magazines, then running back home to copy the arcane characters one by one into that Vic-20 in the hopes that the mysterious incantation would run. I count myself lucky to have learned to program before "growing up". An especially before the internet.

Sorry if I never really got to the point. Just wanted to say that I was in a rush - but of a different sort back then.
Deal for consumers: Over-the-counter Hearing Aids are here starting Oct 24, 2022
FDA (and all health agencies) get a lot of flack for being regressive and slow. So I thought I'll share a bit of positive news this friday that at least something is moving in the right direction when it comes to healthcare.

For many, many years, hearing aids have cost thousands of dollars and needed a prescription in this country. Boggled my mind when I tried to get one for my father.

This tech is been around enough that it (at least a major part of it) should be a commodity - like eye glasses or dental prosthetics. And now it is. Walmart says they will sell them for as little as $199. That used to be $3000-$5000 or beyond before.

This is esp. relevant because Medicare (which covers 82M+ of our seniors) doesn't pay for hearing aids (https://www.medicare.gov/coverage/hearing-aids) AT ALL. So the people who needed hearing aids were least likely to get help for getting them. That'll change a lot this coming Monday.

Hearing loss is a (sometimes implicit) huge risk for health and general wellness. It leads to gradual social isolation and can amplify other comorbidities. https://www.hopkinsmedicine.org/health/wellness-and-preventi...

Props to FDA for going in the right direction.

I'm familiar with the thought experiment and have been for decades. I still think the author could write more clearly.

Besides, we can clearly perform a proxy experiment today by way of enchroma glasses and colorblind people. Simply devise a way to test for information predicated on trichromacy using bichromatic metamers. Did the subject experience a functional difference? If so, it's a pretty easy question to answer. If there's no functional difference then why does it matter?
I have multiple issues with your argument, but the most pertinent in this case is that the law in question was passed only 5 years ago and apparently applies retroactively to all video content hosted on Israeli sites. This is the government deciding that the video you put up ten years ago can get you sued for failing to have a requirement they just passed. It imposes a financial and temporal burden on everyone and the actual, practical effect of it, in this case, is not to increase accessibility but reduce it - by reducing everyone's ability to access these learning materials.
It's an interesting idea. They are deployed and start spreading out within minutes of launch. You might be able to take them all out in the first couple of orbits. I expect it would be much harder after that. SpaceX could possibly defend against this by varying the orbit so you don't know where to place your interceptors, and maybe by having the satellites boost apart from each other sooner.

But you'd also need to take out most of the on-orbit satellites before it would be useful to blow up the replacements.

Not OP but you can store all your routes in one file or multiple, it's up to you.

Personally what I do is I script out full API workflows in different files. So one file might login, then POST to add an object, then GET that object off an endpoint, then patch that endpoint, then trigger the GET object again.

Another workflow might login, upload an image, get that image, etc. For me the scripting is what makes this appealing.

But you could setup one file that documents and tests all your endpoints similar to Postman.
After reading your comment again, now I'm wondering how does the variation of QM discussed in the article handle the special cases you mentioned.

In the usual QM the explanation is "easy" because the collapse is magical.

But if they want to eliminate the magic and propose a underlying "physical" process for the collapse then they have nasty problems and FTL transmission.
People rebel against fluoride, but ignore pesticide residues, PFAS contamination, leachates from plastic piping...
You would have the same issue with TLS or any other scheme. When OpenNTPD added TLS-authenticated constraints, I immediately began having problems on one of my PCEngines APU with a broken RTC (same model as all my other ones, but clock would always reset when power removed, no matter how many times I changed the battery). I had to disable TLS constraints. Eventually they added a special "trusted" qualifier to NTP server directives for bypassing constraint checking.

Authenticated time synchronization faces intrinsic dilemmas no matter the technology.
"When people cannot move, it saps labour markets of dynamism"

> but both are mainly maintained by two big for-profit companies (Nomad: HashiCorp, Kubernetes: Google

This is deeply untrue of Kube, it's maintained by lots of companies, and is in a totally separate organization than Google with distinctly different governance. Kube goes out of its way to ensure its not dominated by one organization and has stats on this. I haven't looked at the Nomad stats but I imagine its nowhere near that and still under the Hashicorp umbrella and pretty much only works with Hashicorp stuff.

> But again, what specifically are you able to do in Kubernetes that you cannot do in Nomad?

The big thing for me is API extensibility. The Kube CRD is one of the more powerful abstractions to hit infrastructure in awhile. The ability to create your own controllers and offer consistent APIs to an end user is imperfect but incredibly useful.

Other thoughts:

* Kube is supported by every major cloud provider.

* I'm not a fan of HCL, some people like it but I prefer Kube's approach of decoupling the templating from the core app.
It's interesting you can make 'Always Trust' and 'Always Cheat' dominate if you make the payouts for cheating/cooperating high enough, even against copycats.

I have the Carlton book; beware that it is chock full of inaccuracies -- I don't recommend it. Gil Amelio's book ("On the Firing Line"?) is better.

Isaacson's book is like the notes one takes before writing the actual book -- a starting point, but very incomplete and there's no center to it. If you want to read a Jobs biography that is good -- but does not pull punches -- "Becoming Steve Jobs" is the one to get.
> those banners arose from malicious compliance

The consequences of malicious compliance must be considered for every law passed. That's fundamental to the process of law, because humans react to incentives and are often selfish (or at least, self-focused). There was very little carrot attached to the law and plenty of stick, so people pushing right up to the edge of what the law allows was completely anticipated.

Can't blame people with goals opposed to the law for legally bending the law to reach those goals.

I like thinking about what ought to be, but I sure get burned too often by people passing laws in that direction who haven't paid sufficient thought to what is.
Love projectM!

To this day I use it for VJ work and it always gets rave reviews.

With the OSS project I've been able to build a great workflow for previewing and picking the best patterns for my aesthetic.

If I had one feature request it would be a way to take a set of patterns and an MP3 file and render an output video faster than real-time. It's much easier to use pre-rendered videos and tempo adjust them in VJ software than doing live rendering.

Edit: GH Issue discussing rendering: https://github.com/projectM-visualizer/projectm/issues/205

I thought there's a quasi-classical approximation of quantum gravity, it doesn't work only for event horizon due to infinities there, but should work fine for diffuse matter, like how most calculations for electron orbitals use classical electromagnetic field.
> there is nothing special about observation [...] we only subjectively experience one of the quantum states

That subjective experience seem something special!

There is nothing special about quantum superpositions - they are pure quantum states like any other. They are superpositions when we consider them in a particular basis. How does the subjective experience project your body - and the rest of the universe - onto one element of the right basis?

Yes, but in this post I really mean "banking". As someone born in a rural area in a 3rd world country, I've seen how people struggle to interact successfully with the banking system. To this day, my documents are a mess but are finally in order enough.

I would love for the promises of DeFi to happen. Cheaply send remittances to my relatives? No more navigating KYC laws that always want the particular document I don't have, and not worry about PayPal just randomly shutting off my account and taking my money?

But DeFi doesn't really do this imo. As I put it in the post, it's like trying to solve loneliness with Omegle. It makes sense kinda but just isn't the right path forward.

"Simply devise a way to test for information predicated on trichromacy using bichromatic metamers." lol... "Simply..." this is literally the 'the explanatory gap' described in the article. We don't currently have a way to measure if the brain "acquired new information" when it knows about something but then sees it for the first time... which is the whole point.

I bet a lot of students -- the laziest ones -- are getting "WTF is this essay even about... did you have a stroke while writing this?!" feedback if they are using LLMs to generate essays whole-cloth.

There may be layout tests for flexbox (I haven't looked into them, because I don't care about them as much as normal flow) but there are basically no layout tests for CSS 2.1 that aren't fully manual.

So basically for 25 years, as far as I understand, no one said, hey given a set of known layout constraints and rasterization parameters, let's create automated tests.

For 25 years.

Maybe I'm wrong, but I keep looking for these tests and the ones that exist for normal flow are a nonstarter.

I'd be surprised if there weren't any way to escape liability for by compliance within a reasonable timeframe from when a complaint is first made. This sort of thing is a predictable overhead for a business, and this firm has had a disability compliance statement since 2016 so it's not a wholly new concept to them.

It seems equally possible that they decided for business reasons to scrap their free tier offering and used this as an excuse to do so.
You cannot imagine just how deep the medical data rabbit hole goes.
