I've been working with weather models for 10 years and I often get asked "How accurate is X?" or "Which model is more accurate?" Many people think "accuracy" is a single number or a single thing - it is more complex than this and depends on your needs.

This chapter on Numerical Weather Predictions [0] is great, especially the section on "Forecast Quality and Verification" (p777). The eye-opener for me was "Binary/Categorical Event". An example of a binary event is rain, one model could predict rain correctly but a second model might not predict the rain at all. This doesn't mean the second model was completely wrong, it still predicted the rain but it predicted the rain passing further to the south.

I've also noticed some model are better than other at predicting one phenomena while other models might be better in certain regions. For example, many people report that Canada's GDPS is better at higher latitudes whereas NOAA's GFS is better at equatorial regions.

One final note, just because someone is solving an WRF model without verifying the results, doesn't mean it's wrong. Many numerical techniques and physical models within WRF have been validated analytical and experimental models. But it is also true that someone can naively setup a WRF model that gives bad results.

I use a 900m WRF model that predicts the wind shadow around an island and we use it to find the best beach for a picnic - and it works. But this same model predicts the general pattern of rain but it doesn't get the start and stop time of rain correct.

People get fixated on accuracy as a single thing and use it as a single basis for argument but to take a quote from the chapter [0] above "One of the least useful measures of quality is forecast accuracy" (ref. p777, Forecast Quality and Verification, third paragraph).

Last year Apple switched from USB-C charging to a new MagSafe charger on M1 Macbooks. USB-C was first introduced in 2018, moving away from the old MagSafe design. These are a very recent changes, so I'd say this still applies.
Yep. Thirty pin adapters STILL WORK.

Apple supports it and sells the dongle.

Can’t realistically ask for more than that.

For us old Apple enthusiasts there were many many upsides to apples success and mainstreaming, some of the downsides include the hysterical reaction to anything they do.

The "native" linux version of Witcher 2 does emulations. Since it's bundled it's very out of date and technology has advanced since then. Witcher 2 had really bad graphics bugs on my Linux playthrough, none of which appeared on Windows.
Per the benchmarks thread from yesterday, I tried running the n-body simulation on 3.10 and 3.11 on Windows, with no noticeable speedup:

Python 3.10 5.323s
Python 3.11 5.305s

Does anyone else get results like these or are you seeing a speedup?

fwiw, I got these numbers under Ubuntu running on WSL:

Python 3.8 4.251s
Python 3.11 3.158s

This is on a 11th gen Intel Core i7-11370H w/ 32GB RAM.

I just got the nearest pair of scissors and cut a sheet of paper with it, it was equally easy both with my left hand and my right. Even holding it very loosely so I couldn't secretly unconsciously apply some horizontal force it cut fine, as well as when tilted slightly left or right. The two halves seem perfectly identical, too, so I don't know what's this talk about "nearer blade on the bottom" either by some sibling comment, seems like both blades are about equally near and obviously one is on the bottom and the other on top.

So in short I have no idea what everyone's on about.
Mostly it's a mess of unknowns as to weather the cable you buy will actually do perform well. With USB-C cables it's all fine print and advertising.

> If you hate your community and everyone in it so much that you want to hurt and possibly even kill them with the pathogens you carry, maybe you should find a different community to be in.

Interesting how you default to thinking about this as a binary: it's either you love your community or hate and want to kill your community. There's no indication of any sort of nuance, no indication of acknowledging that maybe there are other people in your community who might feel differently. And even if they did, their feelings are irrelevant because you're already dead set on insisting that you "know what's best for them"

If you hate your community so much that you'd insist on shoving your own beliefs down everyone else's throat and demonizing anyone who disagrees as killing the community, maybe you should find a different community to be in?
Depends on the mission. Do they want to raise attention for or against their cause?
> Almost since the beginning of agriculture, agrarian societies have experienced food surpluses, and that's what made the cities appear (as in a pre-industrial society the urban population feeds from the surplus of the countryside).

You are confusing an individual-level surplus with society wide one. It is true that a single farmer, with abundance of land, can produce great surplus of food, much more than he or his family is able to consume. However, on a society scale, there was very little surplus overall. In better years, food was quite sufficient for everyone, sure, but in worse years, people starved, especially children, elderly, and the destitute.

This is immediately obvious by looking at the population figures. The population growth everywhere was glacially slow by early modern standards, except when a group moved into previously unoccupied territory, or into territory occupied by groups with with worse food production technology.

Consider, for example, population growth in colonial America and in early decades of USA to population growth in UK. If UK population grew as fast as New England in years 1600-1800, by 1800 UK would have had something like 500 000 000 people (half a billion) living in it. Such rapid population growth was only possible in New England thanks to abundant land, very little of it has been previously used for cultivation by native Americans.

Or look, for example, at the rapid population growth in Africa today. Why hasn’t Africa ballooned to a billion people already in 1800, despite millions of years of head start? Simple: they simply couldn’t sustain populations so high with technologies available to them.

Given right circumstances, the population growth and fall are extremely fast on a historical scale, though it is hard to intuitively comprehend for humans due to us living on a single human lifetime scale.
Stable supply is not what we are looking at here.

I said I agree with 75% of his policies or more. I'm not sure where you read that I "badly disagree with him". That's a disingenuous take on what I said. I disagree with his methods and disapprove of his lack of character and integrity. It's not worth the win.

That said, for an example of the 25%, while I agree with low taxes, I do not agree with tax cuts when already at historical lows as President Trump enacted. Deficit spending should not be supporting any tax cuts. To share just one example outside of that 75% of agreement I have with Trump policies. I would hardly characterize that disagreement as proof that I "badly disagree" with "his" policies.

Scarequotes around him because I'm not convinced many of his administration's actions were his ideas. I would characterize him as more of a puppet that dominated the room and was willing to disregard any form of humility or tradition, but did not dominate any intellectual matters such as policy decisions. Any positive change that occurred could only accurately be ascribed to his administration. His criminal actions have nullified, or should nullify all of his support. We're long past the stage of it qualifying as a cult.
I would say reading 15-20 pages in a sitting is a great start, actually. I would suggest not trying to figure out how to read more, but rather to build a habit of reading more often.

A daily habit of 15-20 pages a day will have you reading a very respectable number of books over months and years.

I wrote a blog post[1] breaking down tools to record terminal sessions just a couple weeks ago. I wasn't aware of this particular one but it looks like it's going to have issues with recording anything that requires user input.

My post describes how to make high quality recordings of terminal sessions that can be replayed in the terminal, or shared on the web. I'm defining high quality as recordings with zero typos, and relatively controlled timing between commands.

I'm going to assume this works well because all the stuff from Charm seems to, BUT its limitations are ... problematic. I think the techniques i list in the post combined with agg[2] or gifcast[3] to covert it to a gif would be a better solution for non-trivial cases.

I'll add notes about agg and gifcast to the post this evening hopefully.

"were technically talented and decent to work with" that is my point in it's entirety.

To be clear I don't idolize these engs or anything.

> TLDR: Apple rules mandate a cumbersome Audiobooks purchasing process

This is very much a lie. Apple’s way is the easy way - use IAP. And it seems that like with facebook [1] they’re trying to apply the rules evenly to everybody. Spotify religiously denies using Apple’s In App Payments. The attempt to send emails on how to purchase audiobooks is their sneaky way of bypassing the rules. They now to try to blame the process they came up with themselves on Apple. But Spotify is to blame, for not following rules of App Store which demand IAP for “digital goods and services”.

However you feel about IAP if spotify has the courage it should challenge in court (like Epic) instead of a website that makes a very bad biased take on the situation.

And we know Apple is not going to respond publicly.

According to this site (can't vouch for how accurate their numbers are) The Witcher III sold ~12 million copies on Steam, The Witcher II sold ~6 million, and the original sold ~3 million.

I agree. Bank accused me of fraud when I reported someone hijacking my card and buying ridiculous mixture of Christmas ornaments and female beauty products (I am a male atheist).

It happened to channels and groups that were inactive for a long time. Durov did mention this in a message a few months ago that username squatters were becoming a problem.

And I was mad at first but it was equally my fault for leaving my public group inactive for more than 10 months, which is probably why the username disappeared.

It's a real problem on other social media websites too. For example, a totally inactive account on GitHub claimed an org name and it has no repositories, no information, It's totally empty and I can do nothing about it. Not even report it so that GitHub can look into it and unfreeze the username.

EDIT: I just checked the dates and the channel was inactive from November 10, 2021 to August 26, 2022. So basically 9-10 months. Previously, I wrote 3 months but time flies I guess.
That description also applies to your comment.
