Wow, that first paragraph is as cynical as it gets: " The ICU is filled with old people." It ends with people now knowing why it tales so long to get doctors appointments, and saying the author is not sure whether ir nit this is a good thing, that we (the articlee is about the US but is pretty much the same everywhere) spend so much of our health care resources on the old. While his dad, also not in his twenties, was cared for in the same ICU. Maybe he should visit an ICU for infants and babies next time...

Staffing. Well, what can I say. Patients are there 24/7, staff is obviously not. That staff works in shifts, great realization. I am almost surprised that the author wasn't surprised ICU staff has vacation and sick days.

And finally "The ICU is a good place to not die, but a bad place to recover.". No shit, Sherlock, tgat is basically what an ICU does, stabilizing patients enough to transfer them to a "normal" station for recovery, or, worst case, to a paliative unit if death is the only possible outcome.

Oh, not to forget: "It really makes me think about how the hospital might be organized differently. If the hospital focused less on pure survival, might their patients recover faster?" What makes a emotionally involved amateur think that the people running ICUs, after sometimes years if nit decades of training in that exact field, don't think about this question constantly? And tgat the current state of ICU care represents the current optimal solution?

I am so fed up with articles from people judging things by looking at them from the outside. Mind you, the articke in question here is one of the better ones.
First part ok, second part wtf
One thing people often forget about retention is that the data are censored. When customers stop being active, you know it, but you don't know when the customers that are active today will stop being active. If you don't account for that ignorance, you get data that are biased one way or the other.

Time-to-event ("survival") analysis has tools to deal with this, which are eerily underdiscussed. Here's one example: https://two-wrongs.com/survival-analysis-for-customer-retent...

Another common problem, especially when analysing what effect interventions have on retention, is ignoring selection bias. Most interventions are of the form where they will be preferentially offered to or accepted by users who are either more or less satisfied than the average. This will in turn make it seem like retention is positively or negatively affected by the intervention, when really it's just selecting for user groups that were different to start out with.

> 1) tfs: shelves are named and can be worked with independently; git: stashes (...)

I don't think your comparison makes sense. Git stash is a way to quickly get to a clean local workspace that can be reversed as you see fit. You use local branches to track independent work.

> tfs: can't commit unresolved merge conflicts; git: commits just fine

Again, this doesn't make sense. In git, users determine whether a conflict is resolved or not. If you commit a changeset originating from a merge conflict, you have to explicitly state that the conflict was resolved and your changes are good.

> Feature branches are advertised as a big fat killer feature of git, but I don't quite see the win here, you still have merge conflicts.

Honestly I didn't understood what point you tried to make. Merge conflicts happen because multiple sources of change touch the same document region in a way that can't be resolved automatically, thus needing human intervention. To the best of my knowledge, there is no cvs in the world that eliminates merge conflicts.

Regarding Git's support for feature branches, the fact that you don't understand the big win Git brought to the world with it's branching model is already a testament to how groundbreaking Git was at the time, and how everyone around was quick to roll out Git clones that follow the same approach. To see what I mean, spend a day working with a SVN repository trying to do work involving feature branches.

> git: if something happens to the branch label, the commits are gone.

Aren't you actually saying that if you delete a branch then the branch is deleted?

Firstly noone has mentioned anything about wastage within the Firefox project - this thread is about Mozilla as a whole, not just Firefox. Not sure what point you're "coming back to" specifically.

Secondly, I don't work for Mozilla, so unless you know of some source more granular than their very high-level annual reports, the specific & data you're talking about would need to be sourced internally. Mozilla don't publish any breakdowns on a per-project basis: for all I know the Firefox team may well be operating at peak financial efficiency.

If we're to speculate, the closest thing Mozilla publish to a per-project breakdown is under activities in their expense report where they have a "software development" category costing ~250 million (not Firefox software development, all general software development). That's still very high compared to other similar open source projects, but it's just over a third of the gp's quoted income figure. So you've got 2/3rds of that figure to look at before you even get near the idea of Firefox dev wastage.

Just because some people decided to label floating point overflow conditiona as "infinity" doesn't mean it can actually represent values up to infinity.

There are ways of getting floating point infinity which doesn't involve overflow like dividing by there. But with exception of most trivial cases you have the same problem. You can't know whether you had actual 0 or value closer to 0 than what floating point can represent.

All of that of course depends on how floating point unit or calculation environment is configured. It's probably possible to configure it so that overflows/underflows report an error instead of simply returning "inf".

> What exactly would your "ideal" HCL values be?

The post specifically mentions that "slight changes" to the constructed HCL values "must be made" in order to conform to the 12-bit color depth. So the author first derived certain values from theoretical/aesthetic considerations, then modified them for the sole purpose of fitting into 12 bits. This doesn't make sense to me except in very, very niche cases where saving 3 bytes (or even less, considering compression) actually matters more than visual quality.

TFA> The association between this numeric form and its meaning under the ISA is completely arbitrary

The numeric form of machine code, appropriately in hex or octal, is not arBITrary at all, the bits mean things that help group and decode the instruction with minimal logic. In the first example in the article, it's easy to see the registers he's talking about, and it would be easy after that to decode the addressing modes, alu functions, etc.

Why is this called a "dilemma"?
It's a social construct in the the same sense anything not directly verifiable using senses is. Is there an Eiffel tower in Paris? Most people haven't seen it, so they can only accept the social consensus that it is there.

If one can afford it, they can travel to Paris and check themselves. The same with mathematical truth: if one has means (time, intelligence, access to training), they can check the proof themselves. Otherwise they need to trust the consensus.

So again, is the truth in mathematics just a social construct? In some sense, I guess, but probably not the one some people might assume hearing such a statement.

That's a good approach: one should read many examples in German to learn writing it that way, whether fiction, or news, or mathematics.

Foreign Dispatch looks to eventually be an ensemble of tools. Autocomplete being the first, with one-for-one analogs of programming: linter, in-line documentation, and language server.

Going back to your writing concept, how cool would it be to pop up snippets of German literature for similar sentences in context? That would be neat.

> which the machine is unable to represent.

If you believe that a computer will eventually be able to accurately simulate a human brain, you might as well give up right now.

Since if a computer with all its constraints is able to simulate a human (brain), but cannot do this, then a human can't do it either.

Conversely if a human can do this but a computer can't, then a computer can never simulate a human.

Don't tell this to a software developer working on AI. They might quit their job and become a baker instead.

I don't think you would have any effect on a mathematician, since they would already be acutely aware some things provably cannot be done.
An apple is not an apple. An apple is a subjective construct that summarises the distinguishing features of a certain kind of object as it appears to our sense.

To a non-human consciousness those features may be uninteresting, irrelevant, or incomprehensible, so they might not see apples at all. But they could see " "s, which we don't even have a concept for, never mind a word. And which we either ignore or possibly don't see at all. (Imagine perceiving complex networked relationships directly instead of having to access them through symbolic models.)

There's no reason why math wouldn't be the same. From experiments we know that cats can't count, but they can distinguish sizes. So cat math likely wouldn't have integers as we know them, but would have some kind of size-based analogue.

I have a theory this is why Hilbert's Project failed and you always end up with an incompleteness theorem.

You cannot create an absolute internally consistent mathematics, because foundational axioms depend on subjective experience, not on objective logic.

So you can define integers in various more and more obscure ways. But fundamentally you have to start with the subjective experience of "integer" as a concept that matters to you. And you can't prove a subjective experience objectively.
I was also commonplace when I was in school, especially in the elementary school, much less in the high school.

However, I believe that this bias was not caused directly by the gender, but mostly indirectly.

The girls had a much more submissive behavior towards the teachers than the boys, who did what they were told to do by the teachers mostly only when they feared that they would be caught otherwise.

Most teachers were biased into giving better grades to those who were perceived to have better behavior, than to those who were perceived to be problematic, even when the latter demonstrated better knowledge of the taught subjects.
Even now she does not admit any responsibility. "I failed", not "I maliciously, knowingly, willingly committed crimes". Not surprising give that she plans to appeal, though. She is trying (as usual) to have her cake and eat it to: get credit for remorse during sentencing and still be able to claim she's not guilty at the appeal. Hence this cringeworthy non-apology apology.

Your point number 2 about improvements on your code: when I start writing a line of code, I already have a good idea of why I'm gonna write next. In this case it's not about copilot refactoring what I wrote, it's about refactoring what I was thinking about writing.

It was like walking on the surface of an alien planet.

It took me heading back to an LA bus station and interacting with the random people there to feel that I was among real people again.
You actually don't need that. You only need a set of real videos and a generator for fake ones. Then train the discriminator to tell these two classes apart and make use of its differentiability to update the generator in tandem with the discriminator.

Yeah I've been using HSV transform in feedback (in glsl shaders) to great effect lately (rotate hue a bit to get rainbow-color cycling) but only the other day I was wondering how the heck to make this rainbow better!? (essentially: more like real diffraction) If it passed through the colors in the article instead of going around the hsv-wheel that would be a huge improvement I reckon!

I'll brave the syntax and try to paste my current method:

vec3 rgb2hsv(vec3 c)
{
vec4 K = vec4(0.0, -1.0 / 3.0, 2.0 / 3.0, -1.0);
vec4 p = mix(vec4(c.bg, K.wz), vec4(c.gb, K.xy), step(c.b, c.g));
vec4 q = mix(vec4(p.xyw, c.r), vec4(c.r, p.yzx), step(p.x, c.r));

float d = q.x - min(q.w, q.y);
float e = 1.0e-10;
return vec3(abs(q.z + (q.w - q.y) / (6.0 * d + e)), d / (q.x + e), q.x);
}

I wish I knew more about what this code is really up to, I inherited it from somewhere, can't remember, and I'll admit I haven't tried to understand it yet.

> In the hierarchy of relationships, friendships are at the bottom.

Depends where you are in life. For me as a single guy in his early 30s, friendships are absolutely at the top of the hierarchy for me.

> Friendships are unique relationships because unlike family relationships, we choose to enter into them.

And this is WHY friends are above family for me. Admittedly, if I had my own family (as in wife and kids), they'd be my top priority in life for sure.

However, unfortunately I do notice that it's getting harder to meet up with friends as their obligations in life increase. One of my best friends has started university again while still working part-time, and so even though he lives in walking distance, we don't see each other very often because he's extremely short on time. Two other of my closest friends live in a different country, but somehow we're managing to meet up 3-4 times a year for at least a week each. That might change though when you'll eventually have kids.

To be honest, I won't read the whole article, but I just wanted to say that it can be different. At least I really hope that my friends will be a high priority for me even if my or their life situations inevitably change.
Same for me.
