I am not a fan of Taleb these days (he went off the deep end in conspiracy land), but it's worth reading his "Black Swan" book.

These tail risks are impossible to predict, and volatility of volatility of these events is incredibly high. So your expected value is better to think of as a "very broad range with a positive mean" - are you comfortable with this?

Why did he do so much for Biden, someone he has never met? Well, because he said he crunched the numbers on how much impact each dollar would have if he donated it. That’s the same approach that led him to get involved with Mind the Gap, a data-driven donor group very popular in Silicon Valley led by his mother, Stanford professor Barbara Fried.

There are also too many logos that look like the new logo. The first blue circle logos that spring to mind are Blue Circle Cement/Tarmac/Lafarge [1] and Oxford Nanopore [2].

I don’t think that’s how interest works.

The government stopping charging interest. They don’t care if you pay or don’t. You aren’t taking any money from the taxpayer.

Also, the “taxpayer” charged me 6% internet when the prime rate was 2%. Did it make you feel like shit because you, the taxpayer, were gouging student borrowers?

The discussion isn’t about never paying back. The discussion is about not paying back during the 0% interest period when the gov asking not to pay back.
This misses the real point of Markdown, which isn't to be simple or opinionated but to be readable by the end user in both forms (raw or rendered).

In case of a web site there is never the expectation of the source being easy to read for the end user. If you want to create a simple page – great, go for it. The only minor change will be replacing markdown tags with HTML ones. And there's plenty of tooling which does that trivially.
My partner and I make $420k gross. it's ridiculous the government is offering us another $20k because we graduated school in the last 2 years. still going to take it, of course, but simply bad policy.
Your comment accused "some people" of being sexist. I asked you who those people are. There are specific academics who are proponents of this theory, so the most likely guess is that they were the target of your defamatory statement. I gave you the opportunity to clarify who you were defaming, but for some reason you don't want to. (In my opinion, you shouldn't be posting vague defamatory statements in the first place.)

It is true that there are a few cases of a word "viri", which might have been the genitive of "virus".

Nevertheless, the meaning of the word is not certain, at least in the examples that I have seen.

Even if the word "viri" was really intended as the genitive of "virus", that is just another example of many cases when even the native speakers of Latin were not certain about the gender and declination class of certain seldom used words.

Whoever has used "viri" as the genitive of "virus" was believing that it is a masculine word of the 2nd declension. Most attested uses of virus are consistent with it being a neuter of the 3rd declension (i.e. "virus" was used for the accusative case). The word virus cannot be a neuter of the 2nd declension (in that case it would have been "virum").

Actually it is possible that in very old Latin the word virus was indeed a masculine of the 2nd declension, like its cognate word in Greek, but due to its meaning as a name of a substance it was transferred to the neuter gender in the 3rd declension.

Such interconversions of the words ending in -us between 2nd declension masculine, 3rd declension neuter and 4th declension masculine have happened for many words during the history of the Latin language, because even some native speakers guessed wrong the word class after hearing a rare word just a few times, and then others imitated them.
It’s a situation where developers joylessly insist that a user’s preferences and control over the interface of the computer they use for hours each day aren’t a worthwhile thing to consider in application development, leading to efforts like the slow de-prioritisation and extinguishing of user-set theme support in GNOME.

Enormous shame, really - there’s real value in customisation support.

FTX Violated Its Own Terms of Service and Misused User Funds, Lawyers Say
The typical "model engineering" steam engine doesn't push materials to the limits. Cylinders are typically cast iron or bored out of brass rod. Tolerances aren't too tight.

It is a slow process because metal is kind of recalcitrant, and making one-off parts is a lot more time consuming than manufacturing in series. To be a model engineer you have to love the process and love spending time alone in the workshop. Another tedious/fascinating aspect is the jigs and fixtures that are often necessary to make even one example of a particular part. Model engineers have to devise ways of performing machining operations (often conceptually very simple operations) and it really has to be something you love. If you see the manufacturing process purely as a barrier to realizing what you designed on paper, it can be a real drag.

So, rather than a high-tech thing, pushing limits, I think the task here (making a small steam engine) is an example of craftsmanship (with lathe, file etc.) and of doing something that is intellectually/conceptually/materially very simple and undemanding, but doing by hand using inherently slow traditional processes. It's an aesthetic choice (and CNC, aluminum extrusions etc. would be ruled out for aesthetic reasons).
Why did Yvon Chouinard not actually give his company Patagonia to charity, but instead gave it to a non profit foundation that he and his family still totally control?

If the future "holds more data" than the past then it's random with respect to the past, by definition. This is one of the major interpretations of QM.

So if we have a function from past states to future states, we can't, eg., which of two past states occured (dead, alive).

However, those who hold a many-worlds view (or chaos-theory view) do not believe you can just "insert data", since to do so is essentially equivalent to a blind miracle.

To believe the future "holds more data" is to believe that at each instance things are happening without any prior cause, all of the time, and this is fundamentally inexplicable.

"the future holds more data" view therefore basically gives up on the possibility of science in this case, indeed as a view, it can always be offered in place of a scientific explanation, and amounts to saying "its inexplicable"

I think I might partially agree with OP, in that men just don't feel comfortable taking on these roles. It's debatable how "fair" they are. Many would say that men are still at the advantage and men just can't accept a reduced (but still dominate) role.

I do think I've seen some thing in my personal life (well my married friends') that are concerning and do point to some amount of unfair treatment.

That's literally how the market is supposed to work and it's not a bad thing. This is not some conspiracy. Companies price test all the time. They will increase the prices until either the consumer won't purchase their product or a competitor comes in and undercuts them. Sometimes the market conditions favor the consumer, sometimes they favor the company.

I agree with you, but I wonder if there will be a point where this no longer works because things become so consistent and repetitive that they no longer hold people's attention? Will we maybe start getting some variety again? Or will they simply land on the optimal amount of change required to keep people hooked and follow that formula ad nauseam...
The reasoning:

- Boeing laughed at SpaceX and their proposed rocket re-use and cheap(er) space flight. Now Boeing is the no.3 supplier to NASA, SpaceX at 2 and playing catch up.

- Self driving cars were not an industry until Tesla pushed it, it is still the pioneer in this respect as no other car make has the same level of self driving features. How cool is a car that drives to you on button click? :)

- No other US company has announced humanoid robots aside from Boston Dynamics, which are not for the general public.

- Tesla has pushed for secondary industries such battery invovation and solar roof tiles (not regular panels on roofs). This in itself is not new but is a future green environment goal.

- The Boring company goals may be a pipe dream (har har) but the intent is there to provide hyper transportation, akin to 50s trashy comic ideals.

- How many non governmental industries can offer Ukraine help with something like Starlink? Can't be many... (honestly don't know but initially seems altruistic).
> Your comment accused "some people" of being sexist.

I literally haven't used the word 'sexist' once in this entire thread. That's a word you used. See what I mean? I can't defend the use of 'sexist'... because I didn't use it... you did!

I've leave this thread to let you argue with your own choice of words on your own!
Make sure to factor in the yield which sits ~12%. It's tech based and rising rates make 12% less attractive so the ETF price has expectedly come down. Similar if someone was holding tech stocks and selling CCs against their positions.

Many people cash out at stages before this and don't make it to his level. You don't hear about them because they cashed out. Above a certain number, it's really irrelevant. The drive (or greed, etc) keeps them going.

Not to mention, money makes your influence increase, and the idea you can start influencing things like politics on a national scale becomes very enticing.

The transition from Windows 3.11 to Windows 95 is the greatest leap in the Windows product line for me (including design).

I remember seeing the '95 start-up screen and its new UI for the first time - I was quite amazed by how much better it looked (I was at an impressionable age back then).
It's just awkwardly worded, I think. It probably should include a mention of ProcessPoolExecutor in the following bit where it explains the run_in_executor function to make more sense. Especially as the whole section talks about passing CPU-bound task to a thread pool, but then recommends not to use a thread pool.

Though I think the GIL isn't really that big a deal for most CPU-bound code, with plenty of third party libraries and even within the python standard library a lot of the code is not native python, and therefore releases the GIL lock.

I feel like we are going to look back at logos from this time period and wonder what was going on and why everyone ceased to enjoy nice things.

I understand why graphic design has taken this direction. Everything needs to be able to scale to the tiniest little profile icon on websites, but it doesn’t make it much better.

I also think a lot more graphic designers these days lack a more traditional art background and so you don’t see the same amount of artistic flourishes.
Use VPNs. Most are quire expensive from Indian standards.
Design is of course a fashion business like most things.

That said, a lot of traditional logos had a huge amount of fine detail that doesn't work well on mobile. While not the only factor, it's at least one motivator for a lot of the rebranding/logo redesigns that you're seeing.

> There was actually a false alarm alert in the 70s, and it did get out quickly (google "code word hatefulness").

Well it got out quickly, but the cancellation was slow.

I have no doubt that the alerts would go out quickly, if there was a decision to send them (and assuming the means to send them is still around). More and more of these systems has gotten automated so there's no one at the local stations who would need to decide to send or not. I'm just not sure that the 25 minutes or so between detection and impact is enough time to decide to send an alert, amidst all the other activities that would certainly need to be done.
> Maybe one day it'll change and people will be free to marry who they want.

People don't complain in private either. I've literally never heard it, even 2nd hand.

You're making it sound like a law against marrying someone of a difference race. It is nothing like that. Most Western women would be appalled at the idea of being someone's 3rd wife.

There is tiny subculture of poly-amorous people. Maybe some of them complain? But they can still be with who they want, just without the official seal.

I haven't used it much but OpenUtau (under active development) has been nice. Cross-platform, automatically handles internationalization issues, and the phenomizer system is very nice. Works well with the free multilingual Kumi Hitsuboku voicebank[0].

Also has integration with NNSVS (neural net based vocal synthesizer) and the entire UTAU ecosystem.

I would say this is the good FOSS solution!

So the only difference is they incremented the version number and changed some other numbers, just to make sure that all software will have to be able to handle the numbers changing going forward, so changing them again won't break things?
The correct form is to sum up the legs involved. So two of the eight-legged creatures whose plural is in doubt would be hexadecapods. And if you have an octopus eating a kangaroo you'd then have a decapod, and so on.
This is pretty terrible.

* The security screen "system" works as a stack, and the individual handlers for them don't actually have a reference to their own security screen. That seems like a terrible design; this design caused this bug, and the fix for it feels like a band-aid that could have unintended consequences (and thus new security implications) in the future. The handler for the security screen should have a reference to the security screen itself (or an opaque token or something like that), so it can be sure it is only dismissing its own screen. Passing a "security screen type", as the new, "fixed" code does, is not specific enough for this kind of code, and still seems unsafe to me.

* I'm a bit confused as to how this could unlock a newly-rebooted phone. Isn't the user data partition unmounted and encrypted? How could this partition get decrypted if the user doesn't get the opportunity to enter their device PIN, which should be needed to gain access to the partition's encryption key? I guess maybe it isn't decrypted, and that's why the system got stuck on the "Pixel is Starting" screen. Still, pretty concerning.

Meanwhile, my Pixel 4 still only has the October 2022 security update, claims there is no update waiting, and is presumably still vulnerable.

It depends on what is specifically meant by current minimal aesthetic. At least in architecture, minimalist modernism we can clearly point to Aldof Loo's Ornement and Crime(1908)[1]. It includes gems such as

> The evolution of culture is synonymous with the removal of ornamentation from utilitarian objects.

> Ornament does not heighten my joy in life or the joy in life of any cultivated person.

and

> Freedom from ornament is a sign of spiritual strength.

There was not a history of minimal aesthetic before this era.

I'm not sure how this fits into any generational cycle. I'm not too keen on generational reductionism.

An interesting read of the quoted text since the topic that is supposedly being defended isn't even mentioned.

This is an attack on this whimsical philosophizing crypto-boosters use as a defense. No one cares about this "what is money" commentary. If you believe in your moon money so much why not just actually use it as money? Of course you'll have to lose those gainz but real money is just worthless paper right?
You also just _completely_ missed my point.

I want to be able to choose to consciously support artists who don't use autotune. I want to be recommended and discover new artists, who consciously don't use autotune. I want to be able to choose to listen to real vocals as a genre. I want that choice.
It may not exactly be about artist. For instance person mixing the artist's song (putting together all the individual instrument and vocal tracks and ensuring it sounds good together) may use autotune without artist even knowing.

Then you have problem of the budget. Studio time is quite expensive and after nth take hard decisions have to be made. Booking another session or fix the tuning with software?

Also take into account that vocals that you hear in songs, that are not obviously autotuned may actually be composed of dozens of takes. That technique is called comping and the mixer (sometimes together with the artist) would choose the best take out of dozen often for each phrase or even single word. Sort of like natural autotune, when e.g. only phrases that sound in tune are picked.
Do they work in practice?
Man that applying the 0.1x part really reminds me of being in mgmt. I felt like my job was more like chief disappointer and garbage tosser of ideas.

Meh. There's an occasional interesting thing, but 90% of it you could do on autopilot. It does solve problems, it works reasonably, it's not too bad technically, but it's just not that interesting. I liked my SRE stint much more, but I just can't fit oncall into my life.

Seems like these days there are more people who want the economy to fail just to be able to make a point about the political party they support.
