I appreciate this question, I would also appreciate a solution, and the explanation of why it happens is interesting.

However, what I really want is just to be able to switch the input via command line. I know that there is a protocol that supposedly allows this (ddc?), But it seems that support for it is not standardized. This means the feature I want can't be found in the product specs.

So my question: what's a monitor I can buy that will allow me to switch inputs by command line? (Ideally 4k)

Ergot is the most interesting mycotoxin producing fungi

I wonder if we’ll find out again that some of our wide-spread mental or general health problems are caused by a fungus.
> and as for screen readers...well that's a valid point but screen readers don't work well for material with lots of equations anyway.

This is something that we’d like to change. There are many visually impaired students who need to learn mathematics the same as you and I.

My “eyes were opened” when I was working with a blind student in my class. The textbook I’d written in pretext (transpiled to pdf and HTML) could be read on his BrailleNote but some of the equations were wonky, so I rewrote them to work for everyone.

It would be better if we developed tools to make them work for everyone straight away, instead of relying on authors. That’s one of my career goals.
What do you mean by defenses? Can humans metabolize vomitoxins but not fungicides? Are there proteins that take vomitoxins out of solution? Do you have evidence for this?
Does your bank encrypt the PDFs? Some of mine do (Europe). Some combo of bank account and birthday to open them - they state this in the email - so trivial to open by others that know you, but not strangers. Better than nothing I guess.
This makes me think that if it works one way, it might also work the other way.
I.e. find a way to pay them in CAD and then refund in USD.
There are 20 citations in the references section. Also, clicking on "Please see the full FREE paper in the BJSM here" gets to a PDF that has more meat and other references. It also has this: "Provenance and peer review: Not commissions; internally peer reviewed."
Agreed, it's not like we don't have alternatives.

UberEATS didn't honor a buy 1 get 1 free promo and I ditched them (after I spoke with customer service) along with Uber ride.
He failed to keep his mouth shut more like it. Picard guilt trips him into confessing, but this was very late in the series. Wesley had already established himself as an insufferable child prodigy so there wasn’t a lot of growth available to him as a character.

The far more interesting leader was the precursor character to Tom Paris. Who was a much better gifted character because he had flaws to redeem at the beginning, not at the end.

What I don't understand is how Netflix is still able to give access to Hollywood movies (new releases), but only by DVD.

10 years later, why can't Netflix or a competitor work out a deal to do the same thing but streaming instead of DVD?

For example, a plan that let's you stream one new release per week.
Agreed, for me also a light theme, with the screen's brightness turned way down (I prefer 10%, sometimes even lower). The room itself should also be neither too bright nor too dark.

Liquidity / diversification comes to mind.

Let's say you own $10M in privately-held Stripe stock. You think that stock is probably worth $100M, but you'd like to buy a $2M house. The bank doesn't accept your privately-held stock as collateral for a mortgage. It'd make sense to sell some portion of your stock to buy that house.

Now, suppose instead you think there's a 95% chance the stock goes to 200M, but a 5% chance sketchy financials tank the entire company and it's worthless.

Especially in the aftermath of the FTX meltdown, I've heard plenty of second-hand stories about people who were fabulously wealthy on paper, and then suddenly not wealthy at all. Diversification would have limited some of the risk and preserved some of the wealth, at the cost of part of the upside. Your expected value might go down, but your worst-case scenario goes up.

It will certainly reduce swelling and pain; the question is whether her wrist would have been back up to 100% more quickly without the ice. The claim in the infographic was that the ice probably slowed down healing. I haven't looked at the evidence (presumably) presented in the paper itself to justify this conclusion.
Nope. It isn’t that much energy compared to losses in ICE engines/existing inefficiencies.

Feel free to do the energy calcs - there is no engineering challenge here for EVs that is currently unsolved.
We don't always have alternatives. Lyft is not present in a lot of places, a lot of places don't have good apps for taxis, etc.

So you're just abandoned on the wayside...
I’m sorry for confusion - I meant corporation in the sense that it’s a for profit org operating under capitalism. Not necessarily a public company, available on the stock exchanges.
I guess I was an unwitting trial in this new pathology, when I shattered my collarbone (which involves a lot of soft tissue damage). The doctors deliberated quite a lot over whether or not it needed surgery, traditionally it would have as it was shattered and displaced, but they wanted to try the new approach of just kindof hoping for the best. They moved it into place in a loose sling, and said "Just hold it generally there" and so I did. That was the entire health plan. No medication, no anti-inflammatories, no suggestions on over-the-counter stuff either.

It can be quite difficult to use pain as a guide for those of us lucky enough to have endured chronic pain, as you build up a bunch of subconscious coping mechanisms and you are expected to experience pain when getting the broken bits moving again. So how much is too much? I have no idea. I definitely agree that pain management meds and anti-inflammatories are counter-productive though.

It's all a bit ambiguous I guess, I'd rather get updates via x-rays even if we are doing the "HOPES" and "DREAMS" approach to healing. Sorry, I mean PEACE and LOVE. I do believe in this approach to healing, I want to make that clear, there's just some rough edges in the User Experience of the approach in the doctors office I think.
That was already proven in weapons tests in the 1950s (e.g. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Castle_Bravo). The hard part is always building the machine to produce net energy gain, which is still 2+ orders of magnitude away.

a bit meta, but it feels like since musk bought twitter, there have been too many shitposts/unfounded rumors about him that do not belong here.
That's true, but that's really on google.

anecdote:

I got an email one day to me (first and last name) for the receipt of a small medical purchase that definitely wasn't mine. At first I thought was getting scammed.

Then I realized, the only thing that was correct was my first and last name. Address, last 4 of PAN, state, everything was incorrect.

Upon opening the eml directly I realized it was actually sent to firstnamelastname@gmail.com, whereas my email address is firstname.lastname@gmail.com (note the period).

Did some googling, there was in fact someone with my first and last name in the area of the address.

I called the phone number given, it was indeed a man with the same first and last name. Explained what happened and forwarded the email.

So while, yes, Uber absolutely should be doing better, so should google.

I'm guessing someone is going to tell me that's correct behavior according to the spec, and if so, the spec is wrong, full stop. Those are not the same email addresses.

Uber has turned into garbage and I’ve stopped using them. Ironically they’ve increasingly become the transport option with a terrible customer experience, which is what they set out to change in the first place.

The final straw is when I had multiple drivers in a row cancel on me before pickup. When I finally had enough I canceled the ride and then was charged a “cancelation charge” for canceling. The fact that I only canceled after multiple drivers canceled on ME leaving me waiting for 30 minutes was lost on Uber. Since then I’ve sent all my business elsewhere. Per the OP trying to get a human at Uber to apply basic logic to a situation is essentially impossible.
A cloud-oriented language should have a way to output for every function that has financial cost, there should be a cost estimator or inspector that provides estimated cost ranges for execution, or at least some indication of potential cost impact. The language should optimize for cost-reduction instead of performance as the cloud presents a cost / performance tradeoff.

That ice would reduce swelling feels intuitive to me. What is less intuitive is whether or not reducing swelling is in fact a good thing.

The way I see it, swelling could be one of two things:

1) a mechanism that the body engages in order to heal or alleviate healing, similar to fevers, or

2) a negative side-effect caused by, say, inflammation or something.

There are probably studies that indicate which of the two it is, I don't know. But if it is #1, then reducing it is just a way to actively work against the body.

Thank you. I have been expressing variants of this for a while. A paper that comes to mind is OpenAI's hide and seek. They claim that cooperation is emergent behaviour, but each agent is playing it's own version of prisoner's dilemma, and thus learn to cooperate.
A politician that lies? Say it ain’t so!

Seriously though, this is the status quo until someone starts to hold such people accountable for their lies. This does not happen nearly enough. If our leaders cannot be bothered to tell the truth, what effect do you think that has on society?

Personally, I have seen a huge rise in dishonest behavior in my lifetime, and I blame the lack of integrity from the leaders in government, business, sports, and pretty much everything everywhere.

If the fish rots from the head, then we should be taking a page from the French Revolution: off with their heads!
Because then BMW is also a tech company. Tesla is exempted from being a motor company for some reason, I can only think of it being Elon Musk's personal brand as the cause.
They refuse to send emails because "emails are insecure", you HAVE to go to their website to download the PDFs.....

(And encryption is NOT a signature. Anyone who knows the password can forge an encrypted file with the same password. So the PDFs would still be worthless.)

I wasn't contemplating a re-import of a car from a German manufacturer as sold in India back into Germany. I also wasn't thinking "luxury".

I was rather thinking of getting a Tata or Lada or whatever the locals drive in India or Russia or some country where manufacturers are still more or less forced to serve the needs of the less-well-off consumer.

It would have to be something of much lesser complexity than a German luxury car. There are still lots of car mechanics around whose shops are not under contract by any particular brand who are more than happy to fix just about any car for you. ...provided the car manufacturer hasn't gone out of their way to make that difficult for them to do. Which all the modern brands with any presence in the West actually have done.

For example, usually only a VW dealership will have proper VW diagnostic software to read out error codes. If I ask them to fix my Honda Civic, I'm shit out of luck. If the only dealerships close by are VW dealerships, as is the case in rural Germany, then I'm basically forced to buy/drive a VW.

Now, that would be a different story if I had a Lada Taiga and had it serviced by the guy around the corner who fixes cars in his shed on weekends and who only takes cash.

Musk made clear they would still shadowban, but the difference is that people would be able to contact Twitter, they would know why, the views to the tweets may simply be limited, etc.

Well to be 100% honest you’re right on both counts. Most things in life lie on a spectrum and most instances lie somewhere close to the middle of that spectrum. My comment lands on an extreme anti-union end. I personally do not want to be a union member but I do admit that, on average, a worker benefits from union membership.

First, this is an interesting metaphor. (Some other comments here say the article is “long-winded”. Saying this misses a key goal of the author; namely, to use a detailed metaphor to make the topic more approachable.)

> rather than the previous "we have no idea if we'll ever be able to engineer this thing".

We still have no idea if we'll ever be able to engineer this thing to produce commercially useful energy. And we probably never will, for all interesting values of "never", the challenges are simply so massive.
Yes of course.

I had gotten into "e-Commerce" in the early 2000's when it seemed that the Web Dev industry had standardized on Java (Servlets/JSP for backend and HTML/CSS/Applets for the frontend) but that wasn't to be.

It amazes me that when you had distributed OS'es like Amoeba/Plan9/Inferno and distributed language systems like Erlang/OTP (Joe Armstrong actually calls it "Application Operating System" (AOS) in his thesis paper) we have ended up with the junk we have today. We really need to come up with a uniform programming language environment for Web-based distributed programming.
This is true. And I hope my story didn’t come across as me trying to claim it as anything more than a story.

I’m always skeptical about these sorry of things. But having had similar injuries before and having not used ice I was surprised that she could move her wrist without pain while for me it takes like a week.
The transition from useless to useful ML models no doubt often seems magical to researchers. But it follows just from the distribution of the training data and from the degree of its compression by the function approximation algorithm they're using.

What's "magical" is not their system, but rather that the vast library of text they use for training has useful properties which can be approximated.

What researchers are observing is more like the illusion of a "phase transition" in the quality of approximations. This illusion arises because we have discontinuous standards for the approximations.

Ie., when assessing free text prediction by LLMs there's very very many ways for them to generate an acceptable answer. For mathematics, there's only one acceptable way.

If we applied the same standard/goal to both, no such apparent "quality transition" would occur. LLMs would be exposed as equally good, or equally bad, at prediction regardless of scale.

> Maybe because it was room scale VR (eg you were physically walking around) but it was extremely good at immersing me to the point where memories of being inside (our rudimentary) game feel like memories of being in a space rather than memories of playing a game.

Two things: One, room scale is extremely problematic for most people because they simply don't have an empty room to do it in. I own my own home and have a room free of obstacles to play VR stuff in, and yet I still occasionally hit walls with my fist and once slammed my head and shoulders into one pretty hard. Frequently in-game objects seem to be placed physically out of reach.

Second, I get that "I remember it like I was really there" feeling from a lot of 2D games I've spent significant amounts of time in. Recently while playing Scavenger SV-4 I felt distinctly unsafe during a certain in-game event despite being aware on some level that I wasn't actually in that situation in real life. Maybe there's only a certain kind of mind that can get that immersed on a screen though.

Weird. I have pretty severe astigmatism, but I find dark themes much more comfortable. I'm maybe a bit photosensitive in general though and prefer to have my whole room/environment on the dim side (I especially can't stand bright overhead lights) so it might just be a matter of keeping things consistent.
I think “can be” rather than necessarily “are”, but yes; delegation like this enables more robust separation of concerns, in addition to explicit time / space separation.

“Can be” because you have to be intentional about it. As the author implies, it’s easy to build multiple insecure computers, and when you call it “firmware” and hire people with “firmware” experience, this tends to negatively correlate with the security mindset…
That would be a fine next step. Can’t buy today though.

@treme most of my former team no longer works at Uber so I don't have direct contacts. Both of us can keep using the app, sharing an account. I am also not a fan of using my network when it's the system that is broken. I might be able to sort this by annoying people working at Uber I don't even know, but it's not a good use of my time, and even then it might not work (when I got similar escalations inside Uber, about a third of them went anywhere).
