Having looked at similar contracts (specifically UofC's CrimeLab running analysis of police data against UofC hospital xray data), the pairing is required to be done on a host such that the xray data never leaves the UofC imaging infrastructure. Contractually, at least. Not exactly sure where your questions are coming from.
I read this story in my teens and was fascinated. Those who remember it will be horrified by some of the postulated advances, especially in the field of dentistry.
I don't wish to comment on the truth of various popular ideas, but the selective way in which research is funded on on matters such as global warming, fusion, and Alzheimer's is strikingly similar to those suggested in the story, and, I believe, observed by that author.
It's interesting to note that this sort of thing is quickly internalized - people are not just quick to follow the money, they're quick to believe what they have to in order to get it.
I think this has led to a creeping belief that while science is important, it can properly be done in an atmosphere where the truth has been received before the facts are at all clear.
I hope it's obvious that this isn't true.
I've been using a seedbox for years

I think the risk of not using a vpn to access it is pretty much zero as these seedboxes are deliberately designed to essentially eliminate this issue (i.e., business in one country, hardware is another, likely minimal logs)

I've never heard of anyone getting in trouble using a seedbox - likely because there's enough much lower hanging fruit to prosecute
Of course, but that wasn't my point. My point was that I thought about it for a few minutes before deciding it was stupid, not that it was some killer idea which I just couldn't execute on. We'll see if I was right on that I guess.
It's even simpler than that, just give youtube-dl the channel name and it will download all videos skipping any that already exists in your current directory.
Sonic Pi, the live music coding environment, has a circular list structure type called a 'ring'. This proves curiously helpful for a bunch of musical scenarios.

Like:

- you can put a short chord sequence into a ring, and it now functions as a list of as many repetitions of that chord sequence as you like. You can just loop over it forever (which is kind of the essence of how sonic pi live-loop play works)

- you can put the notes that make up a scale into a ring, and use it to extract specific chords - like, take the 1st, 3rd, 5th, 7th and 9th note - from just a seven note scale.

- you can use rings of booleans to capture drum patterns and rings of notes to capture melodies, and loop them forever

- etc. etc.
I caught an armadillo once when I was like 10. I threw him in a pond to see if he could swim (yes total dick move). I hypothesized the armor would sink him and was prepared to rescue him.

He swam to the other side fine (but not very gracefully) and ran away. Knowing nothing with certainty, I would venture all mammals can "swim" to some degree and with with varying levels of effectiveness if it's life or death.
Exactly this. Even in a white collar environment, busting ass does not really provide good returns.

Curiously, those were actually the full 486DX CPUs that, when installed, would simply disable the old CPU and take over its function as well.

One thing the news release didn’t cover was whether there were attempts to integrate sound production into the coils of the motors.
Keyword and optional arguments (seen in e.g. Python, Bash with --flags, and OCaml) are my favorite language superpower. They make code more self-documenting and let you add add optional behaviors to functions. This makes it really easy to make concise, highly usable APIs.
It's information to me (and it will be to a lot of people i suspect). I never saw what happened reported anywhere so succinctly. There was a lot of speculation reported.
Given that YC companies in general have a tech (as in software/computing technology) focus, and given the large number of technical founders, it is not unreasonable to assume that there will be a correlation with CS graduates.
Philosophy has existed long before science and produced things like democracy, so it’s unfair to claim it’s just “people talking shit.” I agree that science is very useful, but thinking that science can be applied to every problem is delusional. I think of it as a subset of philosophy (specifically epistemology). Thinking that science can be applied to morality results in dystopian situations, like nazi eugenics “improving” the population because Darwinism is scientific.

How can science inform morality? You are right that it can help us determine if animals are suffering; but what we do with that information comes down to our morals, which are generated through philosophy or theology. All the proponents of scientific morality are very passionate about promoting it, but you will notice that they don’t follow through and actually develop a moral system, they just discuss it theoretically (e.g. Sam Harris)

A single kettlebell offers loads of variety for resistance and cardio.

Bent-over row. Overhead press. Squats. Swings. Combos like swing to press (although this takes guidance to avoid unnecessarily banging against forearm). Each has single/double arm/leg varieties.

Turkish/wrestler's get-up. Halos or twists. Side bends. Farmer's/suitcase walk (up and down stairs or on the flat).

Loop a towel through the handle and grip it for bicep curls.

Loads more. Maybe find a 12kg one to gauge things before buying anything heavier. You can always get two 12kg (or whatever) and use one in each hand if you're unsure about a single 16/20/etc kg bell.
Ugh they got me :( thanks for the link haha!
In practice I see difference in prices between local companies and there are reasons to not go for the cheapest price. It doesn't make market inefficient if you say you do a better job and will charge more than competition. Some people won't choose you, but then it's about setting the correct pricing/demand point. If there's more demand than can be fulfilled, the prices can raise - that's as market-efficient as it gets.

typically if it's available, compilers will use the avx512 register file. This means you'll see things like xmm25 and ymm25 (128 and 256 bit registers) and those are avx512 only. However, compilers using 512-wide instructions is kinda rare from what I've seen

This isn't just "public DNA" shed anonymously drifting about in the wind . . .

This is the conjunction of two sets - "public DNA" AND the identity and detailed health record of the body that DNA came from.

A bucket of "public DNA" is interesting, sure, if you're into that - but it becomes a whole lot more when classified by (say) those that contracted cancer Vs those that didn't - particularly when combined with environmental factors, etc.
There are 500 NBA players, and another 500 minor league players and 5000 practicing archaeologists. So it's not too far off.

I have 1 friends who is tenure track (stem which is significantly easier) but 14-15 who got PhDs weren't able to find tenure track position. But two friend started an internationally acclaimed bands. And another who is an internationally published author.

So sure these jobs exist but archaeologist and historian are probably closer to rock star or NBA player than they are accountant or developer.

A professor of mine who worked on transactional memory and speculative execution in the Intel processors said the notion of a clock doesn’t generally hold any more. He has a story of when he showed up and asked for a timing diagram and they laughed, one had not been possible for many years at that point. Cycles can take a variable amount of time depending on various non deterministic attributes including speculation and out of order execution under speculation. My understanding is cycle counting degenerates to some normalization of time to make how long instructions take to be generally comparable and stable. But this isn’t my area, so I may just be talking out my ass.
That's great to know!

For auth it seems the preferred way to login with Google is OAuth2, that's I believe what third-party apps use, e.g. Thunderbird uses it when setting up a new GMail account.

However, for apps that don't support OAuth2, there is also the possibility of using "App Passwords" [1], I've used one in the past and it worked well. (Update: I'm just reading it only works if 2FA is enabled, which I use)

> Suppose you had a guy whose only job was to flip through millions of photos until he found someone he thought looked like the photo of the suspect. Would you accept his word as sufficient evidence to arrest someone? I certainly wouldn't, and changing the man flipping through pictures to an AI shouldn't change that.

Do we even have a way to discern why AI choose this particular picture? Are we sure it didn't happen because both pictures were mugshots or cat in the background upped the score?

Firefox's file picker moving from a generic gtk file picker that blends into any DE reasonably well to one that's very eccentric and gnome specific does kind of piss me off.

They did implement a way for people to use non-gnome file pickers with gtk programs (like firefox), but then they made it a lot more difficult to actually use that feature outside of flatpak...

If you intended to calculate an index and you accidentally get len(arr), you get a runtime error. But if you accidentally get -1 you silently get the last element instead. Similar to the argument about signed/unsigned indices in low level languages.

It obviously depends on the field. But if the YouTube video explains clearly why X technique is sub par, and demonstrates the failure mode I'd believe it over a tradesperson.

If you ask them to remove things that confuse some users they won't do it because that would be against their philosophy. That is what 'my way or the highway' means.
Generally you are better off coding with "intrinsics", compiler extensions that represent the instructions more symbolically, if in fact the compiler offers what you need.

I am not sure the really interesting AVX-512 instructions have intrinsics yet. For those it's asm or nothing.
Thanks for the feedback.

> Get on Yelp, ask his customers to leave good reviews, and build a business.

You can’t do a good business without leaving visible traces - permits, customers, suppliers, etc. all provide ways for information to leak. If his employer is exploitative, he has above average odds of correctly fearing retribution and depending on the area that could mean unemployment. It’s not exactly uncommon for companies to discretely agree not to hire certain people.
"Microaggressions"? Asian people in the US are getting physically attacked, brutally, in the streets. That doesn't happen in Japan.

Anyway, I don't know why you keep talking about this kind of thing. I'm addressing ease of immigration, not how welcoming people are in particular countries. The whole thread was started because someone outright lied about immigration laws, and you keep talking about culture, which has nothing to do with the discussion.
Still got mine here in a box with my SB live 5.1. That thing was a blast to mess around with as a kid, but not really practical for anything semi-pro compared to just pluging a midi keyboard due to the limited number of keys. Had a Yamaha PSS (451?) which was a tad better but the key size being smaller than a regular piano was also an issue. Couldn’t get rid of that keyboard tho, its epic :)

No, the transition from not being born to being born is not comparable to the suffering of dying.

We don't remember any of it because pain doesn't necessarily transfer to memory. I agree that death is like falling asleep and never waking up but you don't suffer hopelessly before you fall asleep. Many that are dying do.

My aunt was hopeless during the dying process. There were no singing angels, no great grace descended. It's not a magical experience, it's ugly and continuous suffering before you fall asleep and never wake up.

How could it no be, you will never see your children again. The party continues and you are abandoned for forever.

Yes!!! Finally I found one!!! You are the wind beneath my wings today.

That's why immigrants will risk their lives to come to America, and absolutely thrive once they get here. So much opportunity to build a future. And the rest of us get to assimilate their positive cultural values into our own. That's real diversity for you. The Great American Melting Pot. This is still an amazing country, plenty of success stories all around, no matter whatever digital media is screaming at you.

I firmly believe that this epidemic of whatever it is will be over in time. Like McCarthyism, which destroyed many lives due to accusations of wrong-think, and had to run it's course.

For those that don't recall, what finally killed McCarthyism is that it got so ridiculous that the powerful McCarthy was finally called out publicly in a televised congressional hearing "Have you no sense of decency sir?" He was dead within 3 years, a broken man. Worth the watch. [1]

It's definitely getting ridiculous here. A McCarthy moment is coming. After which it will be safe for the general public to say "Enough's enough". What's important is helping build something constructive afterwards.

It can easily be a bad area for freelancing: imagine if it’s an area where you have big developments and maybe some large commercial or agricultural sites but not a ton of smaller places. The bigger contracts tend to go to the big companies who can handle a ton of work so there might not be that many people looking for small jobs - someone who just bought a new $1.5M home probably isn’t going to be doing much electrical work for years.

This ... and exercise. Not just for losing weight etc but just getting out and moving. Ive noticed that even when im not at my desk I am frequently still working in my head and the best way to refocus is something strenuous. I realize the question was geared to diet but everything with your person is so intimately entwined.
Frequent breaks, knee pads, using a proper respirator, other ppe? Knee pads make a huge difference for me, at least, and a back brace to encourage proper form when lifting, if I'm doing something that involves a lot of weight.

For WordPress sites I recommend Koko Analytics.

Koko Analytics is really good when:

* You don't have much technical knowledge (eg: self-host GoatCounter).

* Want a really basic and simple way to see traffic data in a privacy respecting way.

* Want to use a open source, maintained tool with no "Go Pro" up-sell annoyances and no big changes across the years.

* Want to own the data on your server and don't phone any third party server.

I'm using it for some years now with no complains :)

What makes C-style comments unnestable?
This is a very kind comment.

In situations like this, they often won't help themselves. I recently went through it with a close friend. https://twitter.com/theshawwn/status/1602163797560627201

My wife went through it with a family member.

I just wanted to reassure you that even if your comment has no effect, it's not "your fault" -- it turns out that there's ~nothing anyone can do, short of dragging them to the hospital.

Once our family member was hospitalized and started taking medication (they initially refused), he snapped out of it very quickly. Less than a week, I think. But it was very difficult to get them into the hospital in the first place. In my friend's case, he believed that everyone in his apartment was going to attack him; in my family member's case, they thought that black cars were full of agents trying to get them; and it appears that in OP's case, he feels that YC's out to get him, when it's anything but.

It's often just one of those sad situations where we can't do anything but be kind and empathetic.
That's where all the jobs have been in the last five years in his area. His teams are also doing commercial wiring as well, but new builds dominate the work. And they are supposed to complete jobs fast - even if the work is simple doing it fast is not easy.

And so what? "You can succeed if you go into trades... but make sure you don't end up in some of these widespread roles" is a very different narrative than what is usually presented.
A good first approximation with anything using cryptocurrencies is that it is a scam.
