> The merge commit really ought not have any changes of its own, but lots of people consider minor conflict resolution legal.

I'm not sure where this rule comes from. For code review, I for one normally review all of the changes that are going into master, and only look commit-by-commit if it becomes overwhelming - so, unless this is a huge merge (which should generally be avoided anyway), I wouldn't really see how this is a problem.

The only real problem I have with merging into your local branch to keep it in sync with master is the way it pollutes history when it is finally merged back into master. This is enough of a problem that I and my team always rebase unless we end up in one of these rare cases that I was highlighting.
2-step signins are so annoying for those of us who don't use it. I imagine they are also annoying for people who use it because they still have to first type in their email address instead of just going to the google/fb/apple/etc page where they click on their identity.
This is the answer.

It's obvious when you play games on a laptop with integrated graphics. You can tweak every in-game setting to the bare minimum and/or try to stop every service that's running outside of the game, and none of it makes a significant difference, because the core bottleneck is that there isn't a dedicated GPU.

The other big bottleneck that existed 10+ years ago is that people still used spinning hard disks. Now we almost all have SSDs, a big chunk of load time and source of slowdowns due to background processes is gone.

If you take your foot off the gas, acceleration should effectively stop, right? F=ma, so with mass held constant and the only forces being friction, a is actually slightly negative. So max speed happens as soon as you release the gas pedal.
What crime was revealed by the leaked emails. There's a nice recipe in there, and some emails about getting together, but what shady dealings are in those leaked emails?
> other than UTC's error from solar time going out of spec?

Well, yeah. Except that if it's not in-spec, it's not UTC; it's something else, and it shouldn't be called UTC. If you don't change the name, you would end up unable to compare two UTC times without also knowing which version of UTC the two times were given in.

Ok, I am getting near GM estimation after I played some Scotch game theory that I know. To me it is extremely inaccurate
I worked for a university for many years and I can confirm this. I have never seen such negativity, scheming, and fighting in my many professional years since. All because in the end, they were fighting over nothing and they knew it. But they needed to feel like what they were doing was important.
sounds like a nightmare for someone who forgot their password and has multiple emails, and isn't sure which one is right. did i use the wrong email, did it land in the spam folder, or did my email provider just quietly delete the email (which unfortunately does happen, and not just with dodgy emails/IPs)

I'd rather watch movies, read, play certain games, etc. on my tablet than on a phone. (Obviously there are also specific use cases like digital art.) That said, I mostly use my tablet when traveling and it's a distant third in necessity compared to either a laptop or a phone--and only somewhat more useful than a smartwatch.
Sorry, it seems to be very slow right now due to some quota issue :( I'm debugging right now.
Yeah, it's all subjective and contextual. I don't know if I or anyone else can give an easy checklist to define what is or isn't "Karen" or entitled behavior, but having done my time in various positions in the service industry, it's certainly something I can know when I see it.

If I had to try I'd say it's when you have a problem and you try to resolve it in a way that gets you the most personal benefit and hormone rush instead of just getting the problem solved in an efficient manner, that's Karen behavior. Like if you order a sandwich with no tomatoes and it comes with tomatoes on it; if you call over the waiter, describe the problem in a normal tone of voice without assigning blame, and ask for a replacement, that's fine. If you use a tone of voice loud enough that other tables can hear, blame the server or cook or even take the tomatoes personally as if "ignoring" your request was a personal attack, launch into a diatribe bout how you could have bene killed if you were allergic to tomatoes, demand not only a replacement sandwich but a free side or even your whole order for free, etc, that's Karen behavior; those sorts of actions are getting you free stuff and serotonin bumps but they're causing undue stress on the staff and other people around you, who are human and have their own limitations in terms of stress and mental health, what they can do in terms of the law or dealing with their managers, etc - and they're certainly not solving the original problem (you want a sandwich without tomatoes) any faster.

CL's functionality is an amalgamation of the prior Lisps (thus "Common") which didn't have CLOS. But it was CLOS-ifying a variety of things by the time of the 1994 standard. You just don't see more because the immediate goal was a large degree of compatibility with those prior Lisps. If a second standard had developed a larger portion of the system would probably have been brought under CLOS.

Yeah put acceleration more than neccessary for road use into a track-only mode. IIRC, elderly driver mashed the pedal in a Tesla and it needed just a few feet to cause a bad accident. Also a tire-wear limiting function. Tire makers should be making less microplasticky tires instead of chasing the demands of EVs which are heavier and far torquier than ICE cars.

Rimac is about to ship a car with a top speed lower than the 412kph (258mph) its capable of. It has a speed governor which employees unlock after ensuring safe condition of vehicle and track.
Yes but then you have to wait in a queue for someone to create the account for you. That is, if they don't deny that too. Also they require your email address for this process.

surely you aren't saying that current euro cultures are "original". perhaps you're saying that previous cultures were more/more-often absorbed and incorporated?
I don't think anyone is really "qualified" to have the level of influence, power, and adoration that the very top names in many fields get.

Research "success" certainly takes some talent and LeCun is certainly smart. However, exhibiting that talent also needs luck, timing, and connections, all of which are subject to crazy positive feedback loops: getting an award helps you get subsequent awards, better students, etc. In a world where GPGPUs came a little sooner or later, I think we'd have totally different "superstars".
The arguably greatest prose work in the English language, Lolita, fits exactly that description and for decades puritans have thrown it out of libraries. Yes you ought to be because, and this is also a major point of the book, the apporpriate context to talk about art is an aesthetic, not a moralizing one.

That doesn't really solve much: if both you and I rebase our personal feature branches onto master at different places, when we both try to push to the shared feature branch, we'll have a REALLY bad time - especially if we actually had to do conflict resolution.

Your ability to read this sentence right now when we have never met and may not even be on the same continent was once in the domain of science fiction. Don't underestimate technological progress, and specifically, don't underestimate the surprising directions it could go.

Some fantastical AI predictions will happen, most probably will not, and some utterly terrifying ones no one foresaw will almost certainly happen. The unknown unknowns should worry you, and AI is full of them.

Good criticism elevates the craft of critical writing above simply giving a "yea" or "nay" and also doesn't just summarize the plot. Sadly, that's like 90% of modern media criticism these days. You've named some of the outliers. Good critics are like guides on a hike or cartographers: clarifying, examining, and situating the work in, its context (which is to say our context). Book criticism, because it is a far older tradition, seems to have a relatively thriving critical scene, even if it is increasingly getting fenced off into things like NYRB, LRB, ERB, or other literary reviews. Movie criticism, likely because of its frankly often parasitic relationship with Hollywood (reviews for access), seems to be moving away from thriving independent publications able to "tell it like it is".

I would really recommend ReverseShot for probably some of the consistently best writing on film: http://reverseshot.org/

David Bordwell's blog is also pretty interesting (for those who don't know, he is an extremely well known film scholar with a focus on Hollywood cinema). http://www.davidbordwell.net/blog/

Little White Lies out of the UK is also pretty good. It has extremely good art and graphic design in magazine form.

This is why I power down my laptop physically and ensure startup is speedy. You simply can't trust suspending the laptop to not jack up the overall stability of the system after wakeup or drain the battery unnecessarily or whatever unforeseen disaster awaits you.

I can't stand other platforms comparatively. On Linux, I can start my laptop and be productive in the time other platforms take _to wake up from suspend_. No thanks

This is a very interesting article/video, and well-worth reading to get a sense of how complex proteins are, but I’m not convinced by the principle argument that proteins don’t constitue “machinery”.

The core philosophical question is actually interesting: what is a machine?

The author suggests a machine is anything with solid parts of that have a specific function, and goes on to argue that the metabolic machinery or cells doesn’t correspond to any of these three criteria. I’m not sure it matters whether the parts are solid, I don’t think multifunctionality disqualifies something from being a machine, and despite the limitations presented, I am not even convinced that it is senseless to decompose a cell into components. On this last point, it bears emphasizing that his criticism bears the analytical method in general, and is not specific to biology. There are edge cases in any decomposition of a whole into parts.

So while it’s interesting to see how these philosophical questions are at play in cellular biology, the case remains to be made that “machinery” is a fundamentally bad analogy. Here it also bears emphasizing that confusion between the subject of study and the metaphor is a risk with all metaphors (the map is not the territory), not especially this metaphor.

In sum, I wish the author had focused on the philosophical substance of “what even is a machine?”. That’s bound to be a richer investigation.
Apparently, ancient Greek tourists vandalised pyramids in ancient Egypt. There also exist some text on walls with phrases one would expect to find in schools, it’s just that it’s in Ancient Greek.

That is correct, people are a tad miffed at WL + JA for earning their trust that WL stands for transparency … only to betray and squander it on being the gru intelligence launderer in order to get the kremlin approved potus. All just because of a mutual grudge the leader had.

Had WL been transparent that JA was motivated out of his grudge against Clinton and antipathy of the US and put that disclaimer out clearly, then I suspect people would feel less betrayed by his lack of transparency as he burned their trust.

Also, while it was apparent at the time to those who avoided a fox instilled Pavlovian response to Clinton that a trump presidency would be a bad thing for America and rampant with cronyism and corruption, now with hindsight everyone is faced with that factual reality and how russia benefited in spades.

For those who’d trusted JA it really stings when stark reality shows them he was actually trying to get themselves to shoot themselves in the foot all along. Realizing one had been hoodwinked doesn’t breed fuzzy goodwill.

I told him that: the increased speed but lower accuracy of their protein structure predictor was not useful because the only thing that matters in PSP is absolute prediction quality.

It's fine that you like industry better than academia, so do I, but you'd better count your lucky stars that scientists exist.

The article really fails to explain that LeCun and Marcus have been trading insults for the last few years, it's hardly LeCun snapping at some random person.

But all kidding aside, web directories should be much more powerful now than in the 90s. Websites have RSS, and directory websites should be able to automatically monitor things like uptime, and leverage RSS to preview a site's most recent post.

I've considered maintaining my own directory on my personal website (a one-way webring if you will), but always stopped because the sites I linked to either died, or were acquired and became something very different.

Because training in this manner requires good data. And by good I mean manually curated.

The ML hype train relies on "garbage in, good out", popularized by an influential paper published at the turn of the century [1]. Anyone with a modicum of experience in experimental science knows that any experiment is only as successful as its ability to collect good data that is representative of the problem, has manageable noise based on known controlled sources and has sufficient coverage of the problem domain to provide meaningful analysis. But of course, if ML admitted that this was a necessary requirement, it would become yet another optimization technique, admittedly new classes of optimization techniques and that promise that the machine learns something new would fall flat on its face.

In terms of vitamins: zinc, magnesium, vitamin D and B6 - this are the ones that help me the most in terms of feeling well. Will this help with focus? Maybe, when you are feeling better you might have a better disposition to work/focus.

But my advice for you is prioritizing and managing time.
Before the day ends, make a list of what you have to do the next day and the first thing you do IS something from the list.

Actual solver that does win the game:

document.querySelectorAll("#game > div > div").forEach(e => {
const rotation = e.style.transform.match(/(\d+)/)[0];
const clicks = 4-(rotation/90)%4;
[...Array(clicks)].forEach(i=>e.click());
});

It could be optimized to change the rotation direction depending on whether the current rotation is smaller or larger than 180deg, but that's not really necessary since running the script only counts as one click, and generates negative "overspin" numbers ;-)
Assuming those hacks did happen, is there any evidence that the hackers gave the info to Assange? And what could they have found that would hurt Trump?

As far as I can remember, the RNC was openly anti-Trump in 2016. There was no need to leak that, unlike the DNC being anti-Bernie, which wasn't so open.

And any damaging leaks about the RNC would only have helped Trump's anti-establishment campaign. Other Republicans being corrupt was a big part of his message.
I used to think the same thing, but tried a continuous glucose monitor. I found out steel cut oats were actually really bad for my glucose levels, spiking them into unhealthy levels around 160. More than whole wheat bread and other carbs.

I honestly don't understand what they were thinking. Transformer-style language models are clearly unsuitable for this task. Starting with a foundation that is known to "hallucinate"[1] in this context strikes me as just crazy. There is no way to start with a hallucinating foundation and then try to purge the hallucinations at some higher level; characterizing the "shape" of "the output of this model - the errors this model makes" is a super complicated N-dimensional space no current AI model has any hope of characterizing. I'm pretty sure that space is straight-up super human.

If such an AI is possible, and I won't promise it isn't, it will certainly not be based on a transformer model. I also won't promise it won't "incorporate" such a thing, but it can not be the base.

> My personal opinion is: gaining wealth is not a zero-sum-game, but a — the more participants the bigger the pie gets — kind of game. I truly believe, if cultures and institutions change, everyone in the world can be wealthy. With "wealthy" I refer to the living-standard North-American or Europeans enjoy.

I'm less convinced. A lot of the improvement to living standards in the west for the past 50 years or so have been a result of shifting labor to countries with lower standards of living. That being said living standards in post-war US is not a bad target and I don't see a physics problem with attaining that.
