Elon Musk Says Decision on Reinstating Trump Not yet Made
I wonder if these people are just psychopaths remarkably good at showing the right signs, or if there's just a huge supply of moronic investors.

No, he has said that he wants people to be able to set their own filters. So no or few top-down filter policies, but more bottom-up filter policies.

> As I understood it, most of the backlash against "pink slime" (lean finely textured beef)* came from the misconception that it was artificial or low quality.

Also it tastes bad, but that's mostly due to texture rather than taste-bud-response per se, so it presumably works fine in applications where that doesn't matter.

> Is there anyone who thinks we shouldn't use the entire animal if we do kill it?

As someone who is actively in favor of factory farming, I also don't see any reason not use every piece of the animal that can be productively used - to do otherwise would be, by definition, pointlessly inefficient.
Yelling into the void is the central mechanism of twitter and platforms like twitter. I is why when I joined a mastodon server the whole thing felt so weird to me, I was expecting irc. Whom am I talking to? No one and every one. You yell into the void and hope someone is listening.

Note that the same could be said for any mass publishing platform, posting a web page is also yelling into the void. or publishing a book or writing a newspaper article.

I think it is fair to BTC and ETH, just by saying MtGox and DAO split.

The former was, what, 4% of all BTC that will ever be, and the latter was socialism for those close to the developers, capitalism for everyone else.

Those were really big deals. It's just that they happened when it was less mainstream. Doesn't make it not a pattern.

Because she's a household name.

"President pardons Elizabeth Holmes" and "President pardons Sholam Weiss" are very different headlines.

Only one of those will draw public outrage, despite the fact that Elizabeth Holmes was sentences to 11 years and Weiss was sentenced to 845 years. I'm fairly certain that no one would care about the second headline because Trump pardoned Weiss a few years ago and no one said shit.

I agree with your separation between "duration" and "absolute point in time". But it doesn't solve the issue, because durations are often computed as the difference between two absolute points in time. You could get over this on your local machine with a local counter, but across network boundaries you need to rely on absolute differences.
Holmes also scammed Harvard Medical School. HMS invited her to join their Board of Fellows despite Phyllis Gardner's loud protests, the very same Stanford professor who met Holmes years earlier. Phyllis Gardner was on the same Board of Fellows and told everyone else that Holmes was a fraud. Harvard ignored Phyllis Gardner as all they could see was $$$.

Healthcare is mighty complex. The "why don't you just _____" or "the problem is _____" impulse among all who touch it is strong and typically well intended. Eventually it will even be right.

For the many who have shown the impulse here, a bit of context: Apple global revenue in 2020 was 274B[0] and US healthcare spend was $4T[1]. If you can capture just 6% of just the US you've got an Apple sized (in one sense) operation. Six percent isn't so big, Google is at 90%[2]. Little old United Airlines picks up twice that 6% target for 13% share[3]. If you pulled in 13% of US healthcare you'd have a Walmart sized operation[4].

Apple, Google, Amazon, Microsoft have made a multiple runs at it. Maybe Apple Watch and PillPack count as successes, maybe.

No, it's not the same. That's ARM only, is a limited subset of apps and is NOT the literal app on your phone with whatever data/state is there.

> I know it's another Apple-only tech, but have you seen/tried AirDrop?

Yeah of course. I did try going all in on the Apple ecosystem. It was fine when it worked. At one point I could do all my devices together (iPhone, MBP, Mac Mini and iPad) except the iPhone and the Mac Mini refused to talk to each other. Why? I have no clue all the devices were +-1 year of being introduced from one another and all ran the latest versions of their respective OSs. And yeah you need the ridiculous expectation that everybody is using the same manufacturer which severally limits usability. Google and MS do also have a similar feature they both annoyingly call "nearby share" (the two aren't compatible with each other).

Windows failing to be able to transfer files to an iPhone without iTunes is Apple's fault. Apple is the one who decided they should use whatever proprietary crap to do it. You'd have a good point if the iPhone was using some well established standard MS was just being jerks about not implementing but that's not the case.

You're right that there's plenty of siloing done by all the big tech companies but Apple is the worst and the least likely to play ball. They do the absolute bare minimum.

I realized a while back that msftconnecttest.com is the domain it uses to check online status, and is the domain it checks in the background that gets redirected to wifi captive portals and pulls up. Any time I have an issue with a captive portal, I use that domain and the redirect works, because I know any other URL with end up with a certificate issue and I won’t be able to get to the portal.
The whole point is to determine if you have full internet access, so you want to make sure that an HTTP request returns the data you're expecting. You may be able to get DNS responses but not have full internet access, like when on a public wifi that redirects all requests to a login page.

Thanks for sharing!

Even outside the medical field, it seems like most humans are pretty bad about both writing down and consulting notes. Even worse for the notes written by another human. We really aren't particularly good at transferring knowledge / experience and it takes a lot of effort to do a good job of it, so most people don't even make much of an effort.

This really seems like a problem that still needs a lot more attention, especially in critical places like hospitals and really any long term crisis response situation where there is important knowledge gained over time with a (poorly handled) hand-off to successors.

I had some exposure to formalized incident management[1] at a previous job. There, I learned a few formalities and practices that seemed valuable, especially assigning a single coordinator to be responsible for continuity of information and coordination between many independent actors over a long period. The coordinator role had explicit hand off to their successor where the stated purpose was to transfer important working knowledge and prevent the kind of problems you (and the article) describe.

The rings are given out by the OotE.

We've not been able to source any 'failures' outside of some fragments of the space shuttles that fell on people's land.

We're looking to get as many failures as we can before melting down out rings, casting in the debris in appropriate masses and compositions (they still needs to be steel rings at the end), and then reforging/casting the rings for all of us, with enough of an ingot left over to continue the process as 'failures' continue onward.

It's entirely symbolic, but does take effort and time.

It's all over the world now :)
This is why neverssl.com exists. I always use that when I need the login page of a wifi.
So, basically a NOT operator on a neural network. Does this even require a differentiation?
Yes! There’s an ioctl interface for managing the watchdog, and a character device at /dev/watchdog. The kernel docs[1] are a decent jumping off point to learn more.

Upon reading these I did realize on Linux it’s implemented as a kernel device, but it’s usually a userspace task that has to notify the kernel watchdog interface to actually kick the timer. This makes sense, since userspace being functional is probably what you really care about.

What you described can be implemented efficiently with B-trees. The problem is, the required operation is low-level and not usually exposed by the database engines. Basically you need to be able to walk the tree, up and down.

Say your table is `[data, timestamp]`, with data sorted ascendingly and timestamp sorted descendingly in the tree, and you want to scan for values for `as_of(T)`. Assume you have found `[data1, T1]` as a valid row. To get the next row, instead of the usual scanning, you seek to the value greater than `[data1, neg_inf]`. Now assume the value you get for the seek is `[data2, T2]`. If `T2 <= T`, then you get a match and can continue with the loop by seeking to `[data2, neg_inf]`, otherwise seek to `[data2, T]` and see what you get.

It is doable in SQLite, but you must use its VM directly, as you cannot do tree-walking with SQL.

Assume you have `M` keys and that for every key you have `N` timestamped data points. The above algorithm cuts down the as-of query time from linear complexity in `N` (`MN log(M)`) to logarithmic complexity in `N` (`M log(MN)`), which I think is the best we can do.
Also, in an emergency situation, it's better to keep things consistent. Save the fancy moves for when you have time and space. Any sign of trouble? Both feet in, no hesitation. Unless you train stopping with the clutch out.
Most startups don't eventually make it, they fail, we just only remember the ones that succeeded.

For me, it was the second application I ever released, when I was a student at university and still didn't really know how to program properly.

The application was Dash Board[1] for Newton OS, and it only ran on the final generation of Newton hardware (created by Apple, but spun out as a separate company in its final days, before being killed by Steve Jobs shortly after his return).

It "only" sold a few thousand copies. (But it was during the warez heyday, and I am pretty sure there were also tens of thousands of bootleg copies being used, thanks to the registration code generator by "DocNZ" that was widely shared on Hotline back then.)

But that was really pretty great, since the final MP2000/2100 generation of hardware it required was thought to have only sold about 200,000 devices in total.

I have since had a fairly normal software engineer career, and have worked on apps that shipped far more copies, and today I work on customer facing web applications and API SDKs that have more users, and arguably do stuff that is more "important" (e.g. help companies manage large fleets of machines/robots/IoT stuff) than what Dash Board did — which was basically just improve the user interface of the Newton.

But it's 100% clear to me that the magnitude of user impact of Dash Board was much higher than any other thing I've built. People really loved it — I know because hundreds of them actually wrote to us to let us know. (LOL I mean wrote to me "me" — old habits of pretending the company wasn't just one student in his tiny apartment die hard).

Of course, I made more money later, and worked on things that touched a much larger number of people's lives. But "impact" has both X and Y axes. It was the depth of the users' fondness for Dash Board that makes it eclipse everything since. I don't think there are that many chances to just go for "user delight" as the number one metric.

For me, developer satisfaction is a function of that user delight more than anything else.

The hectopascal is the most common unit for atmospheric pressure. It replaced the equivalent millibar to match SI units. Standard atmospheric pressure at sea level is 1013 hPa.

Hectolitres are commonly used in the food and drink industry. For example wineries and breweries typically measure their production in hectolitres.

Not exactly hecto but land, especially farm land is often measured in hectares. It is a non-SI metric unit equivalent to the square hectometer or 10000 square meters. We most likely kept the name because "hectare" sounds better than "square hectometer". As expected, 1 hectare is worth 100 ares, but ares and its other multiples are much less used than hectares.
It affects usage rates of other browsers other than Safari on that platform, because other "browsers" are just limited chrome on top of Safari. The quality of Chrome, Firefox, etc on iOS will be behind the quality of the same browsers on platforms that they're allowed to improve and innovate upon.
That’s not how sentencing works in this country. The specific crime you were convicted of determines the possible range of sentences. Then judge considers a multitude of factors to determine exact sentence. This includes prior offenses and also all “relevant conduct”, i.e. the totality of your wrongdoing, not just what you were specifically convicted of.

Also, not sure what you’re on about re: failing to make introduction. She claimed to have revolutionary blood tests that worked, but they were useless and she knew it. It was blatant lying and fraud to the tune of millions of dollars. Not to mention all the doctors and patients who thought they got accurate test results and relied on them.
it a symptom of underlying economic issues. There is so much economic disparity between the top of the economy and the economic have nots. the 0.001% are running out of places to put money. Money is being poured into iffy startups and new economic vehicles, crypto being at the intersection of those is particularly attractive to those with more money than they know what to do with. place like FTX WeWork and Theranos and more have millions thrown at them with little oversight or due diligence because why not they have to put money somewhere. bond interest rates have been historically low for years to the point where some governments were issuing negative interest rate bonds. If you have hundreds of millions and your alternative is to loose money twice over (once to interest rates and again to inflation) Why not throw it at long shot investments with potentially high returns, especially when you may be able to liquidate your shares before they companies crash.

They compared anonymous standardized test scores to non anonymized classroom test scores.

Seems worth pointing out that these are not the same kinds of tests and that the latter presumably has subjective elements like partial credit for answers. I would have liked to have seen the classroom tests scored anonymously.

I'm willing to believe that people with better communication skills generally test better on tests with partial credit.
