In Britain (where I live) it's standard (I believe?) to leave a circa 10% tip at a restaurant. When I've travelled to Europe I've done the same (but haven't thought much about whether it was expected).

Restaurants are the place I'd associate most closely with tipping

I remember ashtrays in elevators. Imagine smoking in an elevator, and the person complaining about it was considered the idiot, not the smoker.
For a phys.org article it's pretty bad.

The key part is smothered:

The study's authors, Xiaodong Song and Yi Yang of China's Peking University, said they found that the inner core's rotation "came to near halt around 2009 and then turned in an opposite direction".

"We believe the inner core rotates, relative to the Earth's surface, back and forth, like a swing," they told AFP.

"relative to the Earth's surface" does the heavy lifting - think of two spheres rotating together with a sticky fluid layer between them.

Now think of the inner sphere speeding up, then slowing down (relative to the outer) - they're rotaing together but have a coupled "sprung" oscillation.

Standing on a fixed point on the earths surface looking straight down you would "see" the corresponding point on the inner core moving ahed of you and then after a while moving back "in reverse".

For anyone interested in a detailed "State of Inner Core Knowledge" from 2015 .. which is still current as the same questions are still more or less open, there are just seven years more papers arguing this Vs that; see:

While it's great to see smoking becoming less ubiquitous, it was kinda cool to see a small niche of high-end creativity in making modern ashtray furniture as part of Seth Rogen's weed×pottery start-up[0]

"Contrary to common misconception, there is no federal law stating that a private business, a person, or a government organization must accept currency or coins for payment. Private businesses are free to create their own policies on whether they accept cash, unless there is a specific state law which says otherwise. For example, a bus line may prohibit payment of fares in cents or dollar bills. In addition, movie theaters, convenience stores, and gas stations may refuse to accept large denomination currency as a matter of policy or safety."

"The principal purpose of [the Coinage Act of 1965] is to ensure the nationwide acceptance of U.S. currency, consistent with constitutional language that reserves to Congress the power to create a uniform currency that holds the same value throughout the United States. While the statute provides that U.S. money is legal tender that may be accepted for the payment of debts, it does not require acceptance of cash payments, nor does it provide that restrictions cannot be imposed upon the acceptance of cash."

As it becomes more of a niche, also-ran browser, you can expect its quality (and so, its security) to fall as well.

The "use an inferior tool for philosophical reasons" mindset is already pretty unconvincing for me. A chromium fork maintained by a pro-user, pro-privacy team is the best of both worlds and doesn't expose you to Mozilla's fad-chasing.
of course, if you need it then you need it.

i think the original commenters point only talks about how bad TSTZ is as a storage format, and that TAI is not only better than timestamp with time zone, but also UTC in almost every measure - something i agree with - not that time zones are useless. if you need the time zone to be recorded, i think the most sensible thing would be to record it independently.
My uk school had chewing gum in those places rather than nic pouches.

I live less than 5 miles from Central London and use the tube almost every day.

The rest of the world exists outside of it.

I have no interest in spending my entire life within the constraints of the train network. As a result of living in a big city, I know a lot of people who are happy with those constraints and they're almost universally boring, preachy jobsworths.

Like the entire staff of The Guardian. I'm surprised that they even bothered to found an American subsidiary. There are only about three US cities they could even exist in without having a heart attack.

Agree that waiting until the very end of the development process for a code review is troublesome. It’s the most expensive time to request changes too. As you point out, asking for something completely different is going to put the author back at square one and frustrate a lot of people.

It’s best, I find, to get that kind of design-level feedback early and review it when needed as progress is made. No sense waiting until you’ve polished it to hear that you wasted your time building the wrong thing.

Another strategy to cope: small changes merged early and often. This requires a bit more work on the part of the author to keep the continuity of the plan moving in the right direction over several PRs. However, it has been demonstrated empirically that humans can’t review much more than a couple hundred lines of code per hour [0].

And lastly, as a reviewer, demand evidence as to why the change is correct. Don’t bother yourself with reading every line like you’re some compiler that’s better than your compiler. Instead validate the reasoning of the author and read the tests/evidence/proof. You need a fairly experienced team that are sophisticated enough to write good specifications, but even good unit tests go a long way. This way you only have to check the author’s argument.

If you’re using languages with manual memory management make sure you’re using the right testing strategy that will catch errors in your program. Write unit tests at the bare minimum. Property tests would be preferred. Fuzz tests, integration tests, etc on top. Whatever it takes: catching errors in programs is surprisingly difficult for humans regardless of experience or training. The JVM had a critical error in its binary search implementation that hid for nearly a decade, OpenSSL, etc.

Code review is not about reading every line and playing, “spot the error.” You’ll miss some. Your team mates will miss some. You need to think above the code to catch those. Time is precious and life is short. Spend review time effectively by making sure you understand the specifications and that your colleagues have done their homework.

Happy reviewing.

Ah, apologies then :)
Wow - they raised $100 million. They're expecting people to pay $33/mo for the service, which includes the grinder/dehydrator bin, plus the cost of mailing the dense milled organics back to their processing facility.

Figure that actual physical expenses cost $18/mo, leaving $15/mo profit per household; on top of that, they'll have extensive marketing costs - let's say marketing & employee costs take another $10/mo, leaving $5/mo profit per household. That means they'd need 1.6 million households to subscribe for a year just to get their investors their money back, or about 1% of the potential market.

How did they possibly win over investors? If I could short this I would.
This is the crux here. And this is what I tell people who are so insistent on highways and cars too - the productivity of your local economy is siphoned off because local coffee shops can’t afford to compete with Starbucks drive throughs so the capital leaves your local economy.

Where I live a Starbucks was opened across the street from a local coffee shop and the Starbucks closed because it couldn’t compete. This is in a walkable neighborhood. Once you get to the ‘burbs and highways it’s all Starbucks.

A few possible explanations:

- PKD wrote tonnes of short stories. Four big volumes worth, I believe. Short stories are great for movies because they present a central idea but give the director lots of freedom.

- His stories frequently involved several tropes that work well in movies: drugs, massive corporate entities, multiple realities, and the everyman hero.

- Other sci fi authors had a tendency to be preachy (Heinlein), or too progressive for the time (le Guin). PKD wrote in an unassuming and non-judgemental way. His characters might have had regressive opinions, but he never seemed to push what he thought was best for society.
Sounds very similar to how memcached allocates slabs.
Wonderful. I really wanted something like this to do Graphic the "hard way", also the most fun way... I was trying to use Tcl-TK for that but this seems a lot lower level, perfect for what I wanted to do which is to write a small GUI toolkit for tiny apps.
Hah. I definitely would buy you a drink. Please see my post below (next to yours).

I'm 42. I've lived in a lot of countries. I freaked out and fled America for twelve years after I wrote a novel about a rock band assassinating Dick Cheney during the start of the second Iraq war, and had my server attacked by military sites and my apartment broken into and police going through my trash can. In other countries, I probably, once in awhile, was mistaken for someone who tried to be nouveau-riche because I tipped too much...but I'm basically a working-class guy and I don't think most people thought of me that way if they got to know me. Maybe I am guilty of carrying over the American service industry mentality -- usually people who work/worked as waiters, bartenders or taxi drivers in America tip much more than other people, because we understand how difficult the job is. But of course, you are not trying to buy love with money ... you only show respect. If it is a situation where I feel that someone won't understand it (for example, in some place I've never been before in Vietnam), just the amount of tip that shows the right respect is better than some crazy American-size tip.
Hopefully this makes sense. I should stop drinking and go eat. It's been a pleasure to talk ;)

He was asked directly:

"Is Apple moving to USB-C"

If his response is "..obviously we will have to..." then I don't think it's unreasonable for the headline.

If he was asked "Is Apple going to comply with EU Law" and his response was the same then I think it leaves room for interpretation, but we're humans, not computers. He was asked a question and he provided an answer to that question and the headline reflects what a reasonable person would infer. If that's not the case then I think that speaks more to his trustworthiness than that of the articles writer.
It's purely because of market forces. ChatGPT and DallE2 are no longer just a long series of instructions running on a computer, which happen to be flawed in someway. They are now brands, characters, products, and those need to be maintained and highly curated, or else all the suits you're attempting to sell AI customer service chat bots too might peek behind the veil and see just how flimsy easily exploitable these pieces of software are
Am I misunderstanding TFA or is the encryption done with the encryption key in the clear inside the browser?

I just set up my servers' SSH to use U2F keys for authentication and the secret never leaves the security key, protected behind the security key's HSM.

That's kinda the point of these security keys: computers aren't devices to be trusted. If they were, we wouldn't need physical security keys with the secrets hidden behind a HSM.

From TFA:

> Local threats like JavaScript injection attacks could exfiltrate the value of inputKeyMaterial from Step 2.1 and store it away for later use.

I really enjoyed TFA but... These kind of "local threats" are precisely what these U2F security keys are all about: you can use them on a totally compromised computer and yet the attacker cannot extract the secret from the security key.

I've seen people use security keys with GPG and I'm nearly sure the private part of the key is never leaving the security key.

I may be wrong though...
I am amazed at the fear people exhibit in change, especially technology based. AI is a technology, and as such it is just a tool in my opinion. Will your job change? Most definitely yes. Adapt and embrace the new tool vs playing the victim. You will be more efficient, and happier. Just my 2c.
Linear-log -> asinh(x)

Its linear for small values and log for large. It also has the advantage that it is continuous and smooth. (Obviously asinh is not very useful for allocation)

I first thought of it while pondering an amp that would best use the limited dynamic range of a (analog) recording media. Thats what I do in my free time.

I later realized that asinh(f(x)) is a great substitute for log space when plotting. It preserves the sign and the small value details while compressing large values. Unfortunately no one os familiar with this mapping.

EDIT: from apeheele's comment below I noticed I made a mistake and its not tanh, but asinh that is linear for small x and logarithmic for large c.
...and sadly, the Japanese will probably not succeed in reversing demographic decline. There is very little evidence that any country has successfully reversed this trend once it gets going. Maybe only Ceausescu Romania can point to government policy actually having an impact, and he did it by not only banning abortion but also contraception (correct me if I am wrong here please), of course then leading the Romanian orphan crisis of the 1980's. It seems it requires some sort of external catastrophe - war or famine or similar - which resets society such that having kids becomes a good idea again

Failing to pay rent on offices seems to be a recurring theme at Twitter. Is this one of Musk's schemes to lay people off outside of legal methods? By eliminating their workplace first? Is it weaponized incompetence? Or has he fired so many people that the company is no longer capable of surviving?
There is so much stuffing for a simple idea that I'm not sure if this piece deserves its own title, but I'll give it the benefit of the doubt.

One thing that I wonder though is how we will draw the line. If I'm writing a piece and do a Google search, and in that way invoke BERT under the hood, is anything that I write afterwards "AI-tainted"? What about the grammar checker? Or the spot removal tool in photoshop or gimp? Or the AI voice that reads back to me my own article so that I can find prose issues?

And that brings the other problem: do the general public really know the extent of AI use today, never mind in the future?

With all of that out of the way, yes, I would rather read text produced by human beings, not because of its quality--the AI knows, sometimes humans can't help themselves and just keep writing the same thing over and over, specially when it comes to fiction--but just to defend human dominance.
There are many many reasons to reduce our dependence on cars such as reducing particle emissions from tire and break wear, lithium mining is again hardly worth discussing.

Sure, I'm a mathematician, but what point are you making beyond a potential ad hominem?

I myself include code in my own papers when it's useful. As the author of this paper mentioned (and it's something I'm a bit embarassed I missed), the asymptotics of this new algorithm do not compete with the usual O(n^3) algorithm, so it's not clear to me that having Python code would benefit anyone. Of course you never know, though I think the underlying concepts in their formula are significantly more difficult to learn than the notation itself, so the code also wouldn't help very much with understanding the formula.

Anyway, given that you're saying I'm in an ivory tower, doesn't that give me some authority to explain why the choice to not include code has nothing to do with it being an "insult" to the community or it "spoiling" the paper with "disgustingly usable code"?

Tbf there are still examples of this in the EU. At least here in the Netherlands, if you purchase any drinks in recyclable bottles, you pay a surcharge at the register which can then be reimbursed when you bring the bottle back. It's not a large discrepancy (25¢ I think?) but it bit me once when I first arrived and I was paying for everything with cash. I had enough money for everything except the bottle surcharge.

Only if you don't have a cycle correct emulator inbetween. Those old school system relied on hard real time timings down to the clock cycle to let the CPU control the color palette, sprite properties etc... at the right raster position within a frame. Modern GPUs don't allow such a tight synchronization between the CPU and GPU, so the best way is to run the entire emulation single-threaded on the CPU, including the video decoding.

(the resulting framebuffer can then of course be dumped into a GPU texture for rendering, but that just offers a bit more flexibility, eg embedding the emulated system into a 3D rendered world)
Besides the AI being able to interpret the questions, which is the entire point of a language model, isn't this just the same as someone googling the answers to the exam?
