I think your comment went to the wrong post.

I know how Wine works, and in my example I explicitly said "API". And I don't think I ever said something about ARM or the RaspberryPi?

My point was to explicitly make it simple to understand, as most people don't know what thunks are, or trampolines, or the differences between protected mode and long mode. And yes, I called Wine an emulator, because that's what it is...

Haha I think you've summarized it well! I've gotten some gems of one-liners, but often the arc of the essay is unintelligible or facts are reversed.

Doesn’t matter what you call it, the system works apparently. Not many companies can say that.
Next step.... UK to criminalize possession of Number Theory, Combinatorics, Probability Theory, Statistical Analysis Math Books. Special temporary licenses will be granted by your local Met Office to be allowed to read on Galois Theory.

Well, they didn’t want to be part of the European Union, and they’re very clearly demonstrating that they are indeed not part of the European Union.
> Regarding the commercial instance option. I don't really see the point?

Because of "I have been wondering if that is too much but I can afford it and I know this can be expensive to run."

Yes, $8/month is not a lot in the grand scheme of things. But I'm yet to see any more efficient and fair method for price discovery than having different commercial instances trying to acquire users through a straightforward business model where accounts are paid. I wrote a bit about that on https://raphael.lullis.net/community-is-not-enough/.

I am reasonably sure that I can have a profitable business on communick if I have enough people paying me ~$0.50/month, as long as all of the users pay me at least that much. More importantly, I am absolutely sure that our society and level of civil discourse would be better if we got rid of "ad-funded/freemium/donation-based" services, and instead we let market forces act and if we could vote with our wallets.

The way I see it, you shouldn't be paying $8/month to make up for the 15 freeloaders and your server admins shouldn't be dependent on your generosity to be able to continue providing the service. Everyone, without exception, should be paying just enough for the admins to feel like it's a worthy endeavor and willing to compete for your patronage and to improve their service. And because the service is built on free-software and has no strong lock-in, any improvement would quickly be shared and spread throughout all services.

I get gut pain sometimes, on a semi regular basis.
The day before the pain hits I have mild-euphoria, clear thinking, positive outlook, lots of energy, more social and extravert. It's not normal.

Something is going on with the brain and my gut.

It's possible that it's endorphins being released to stop any pain ... but this is about 24 hours before the crippling cramps start, and it's more a mood shift than pain killing. Before this great 24 hour, I'm normal baseline okay state.

This is exactly what I'm working on! My project is taking Zoom conversation, using pyannote for speaker diarisation, whisper for transcription, pinecone.io for semantic search, then feeding that into GPT-3 so we can ask questions about conversation.

For us this is super useful because it's not unusual for our discover sessions to last days and we're all terrible at taking notes.

As a nerd, my brain is already buzzing on ways that I could use this for my groups D&D campaigns.
Probably it would be more efficient to fill up balloons from a larger tank and then inhaling from the balloons. You can continuously breathe in and out from the same balloon multiple times for a few times until all the N2O has been absorbed by the body (hypothetically)

This presumably would criminalize E2E encryption apps like iMessage, FB, Whatsapp, Signal etc. All of these are popular enough on their own that I don't see how you can reasonably go this approach. We'll find out quickly though about which clients have backdoors based on the exception list.
So far the correlation between personnel proximity and tank depletion is just that: a correlation. All attempts at establishing causality have been met with fuzzy recollections, outright denials, and conflicting reports.

More investigations are warranted.
so you want an unhackable, but fully open, client.

> We’re targeting the modified and bespoke devices that enable
access to platforms, similar to Encro Chat, where the software/ hardware has been
developed to anonymise its users and their communications and its user base is assessed
to be almost certainly criminal. Under Option 1 where articles will be specified, we will be
targeting those that supply, modify, and possess these bespoke devices; the
provisions will not apply to commercially available mobile phones nor the encrypted
messaging apps available on them. The proposed offences will seek to tackle those
supplying and exploiting these devices in order to carry out serious crimes and will seek to
reduce the supply of these devices to serious criminals.

The paper makes it sound like the intent is to target services that are advertised as being used for crime. While that is a judgement call, I do appreciate that standard devices / standard apps are not being targeted.

On it's surface it seems pretty straightforward. If you are advertising "Crime Talk as a Service", you'll probably be investigated and this gives a clear policy decision. If you are advertising "Anonymous chats away from nosy spouses" the police will have to do a _smidge_ more legwork to build a case.
This is pretty similar to how Nintendo validates game cartridges. They all contain a unique signed header. If you connect to an online game and your game serial number is being used by hundreds of other users, Nintendo can see its a pirated copy and you get console banned from online for all games.

OK, but have you ever seen any half-ton truck commercial where the act of towing wasn't prominently featured? The problem isn't people buying these trucks intending to do a lot of towing, but later realizing they got less than the ideal vehicle for the application. The problem is they're buying this crap purely on a fantasy.
Satellite phone text messages cost about $1 each. Sending one every 5th minute seems sufficient. That's $120 for a 10 hour flight. Seems technically quite doable with existing technology at a reasonable price?

I imagine there are optimization that could be done to reduce the cost further. Big customers with constant rate usage can probably negotiate a more favorable price etc.

I had a sneaky service charge like that (10%) added in a bar in Vienna (Austria, EU). Asked them to take it off, and they did, but the attempt was certainly made.

Many other places add it routinely and have it listed in their menus. Not just for parties of 6 or more, but two guests.
Were tip jars common in NYC before Starbucks popularized them? I don't remember them at all but maybe it depended on the type of place?
One thing it's useful for is skipping past advertising segments.
Showing one price on the menu and then charging a different price is deceptive and dishonest. I don't see how this creatively named fee is different from saying "the sandwich costs $10" and then later saying "actually you owe us $1000".

I've basically given up on restaurants entirely. Even without ridiculous tipping and other surcharges, prices have gotten out of control. The food just isn't that great, and restaurant food is not known for being healthy, with excessive amounts of fat, sugar, and salt. The only function it fulfills is that I'm less hungry after eating it.

So these days I just prepare my own food. It's better in so many ways: cheaper, healthier, faster, no risk of disappointment.

I have this exact same idea on my audio synthesis and DSP exploration project called Akasha, that I have developed on and off for more than 13 years. I have plans to open source at least parts of it, once I get to clean up the code. I was inspired by Julius O. Smith III's writings on DSP algorithms: https://ccrma.stanford.edu/~jos/

Unfortunately my web pages are not online, I have some video samples of Björk, Gotan Project and some classical and electronic music samples.

In the analytical audio signal, the musical intervals can sometimes be easily seen, and it is mesmerizing to look at.

On this video demo by OP, when the waveform appears stationary with loops, there are intervals in (at least close to) just intonation – meaning the frequencies have integer ratio relationships.

Or it means they they assume to know everything and are absolutely odious to work with in any sort of knowledge profession.

I'm kind of surprised anything was found. Most of the materials the plane is made of are heavier than water and sunk to the bottom of the ocean. A few small floating pieces drifted thousands of miles and happened to wash up in inhabited areas.
Man... I wonder why people will stop denying/ignoring such criticism like the one in my parent comment and start calling a spade a spade. Police bill, online censorship, and now banning encryption along with all the rest that is happening in the UK. Its going towards a hellhole. Denying reality wont change the reality. It didnt change it during and after the Brexit debacle. It wont change it now. Things will only change when people stop denying reality and take matters into their own hands.
From the linked PDF:

> "This option would require the drafting of precise definitions of the specific articles, for example a definition of sophisticated encrypted communication devices which does not include all mobile phones."
It's a yearly tradition in the UK to propose some draconian law that will be the end of the internet. And yet the policies generally remain unimplemented. Is there some systemic pattern that explains this trend?
> If you opt not to pay you are dining and dashing and subject to prosecution

Is that actually a crime? My understanding is that you can leave your contact info, walk out. I’m not aware of any cases where police have gotten involved in a payment dispute. I used to work in a law enforcement adjacent field, and when the topic came up, the cops said it’s a civil dispute, not a crime.

Edit - after searching online, there are a few cases of diners being arrested, though it seems the charges are always dropped. Also those cases involved posted notices of the fee before the diners ordered.
I'm terrified that one of these many proposals that come up from time to time by ignorant politicians will get through because of other ignorant politicians and scare campaigns. These are all too common.
Thanks! Just curious!
Couldn't one declare the NFTs worthless and still claim the loss?[1] This seems more like a way for the creators of this site (Full Name, Full Name, and Full Name)[2] to scavenge a bunch of NFTs on the cheap. Not that there's anything wrong with that, necessarily.

It's (was in cases) a symbiotic relationship. Without sites offering flights, Google could have never offered relevant results to searchers in the first place. Same for any other vertical.
I have done this a few times now. Alone (e.g. https://github.com/paulmorio/geo2dr) and in collaboration with others (e.g. https://github.com/benedekrozemberczki/pytorch_geometric_tem...) primarily as a way to learn about the methods I was interested in from a research perspective whilst improving my skills in software engineering. I am still learning.

Starting out I would recommend implementing fundamental building blocks within whatever 'subculture' of ML you are interested in whether that be DL, kernel methods, probabilistic models, etc.

Let's say you are interested in deep learning methods (as that's something I could at least speak more confidently about). In that case build yourself an MLP layer, then an RNN layer, then a GNN layer, then a CNN layer, and an attention layer along with some full models with those layers on some case studies exhibiting different data modalities (images, graphs, signals). This should give you a feel for the assumptions driving the inductive biases in each layer and what motivates their existence (vs. an MLP). It also gives you the all the building blocks you can then extend to build every other DL layer+model out there. Another reason is that these fundamental building blocks have been implemented many times so you have a reference to look to when you get stuck.

On that note: here are some fun GNN papers to implement in order of increasing difficulty (try building using vanilla PyTorch/Jax instead of PyG).
- SGC (from https://arxiv.org/abs/1902.07153)
- GCN (from https://arxiv.org/abs/1609.02907)
- GAT (from https://arxiv.org/abs/1710.10903)

After building the basic building blocks these should each take about 2-5 hours (reading paper + implementation). Probably quicker at the end with all this practice. Good luck and remember to have fun!
The hardest part is not technical at all, from my understanding. The real deal is to get engaged with a network that values the product. But as usual it's the chicken-egg problem where you need a network in order to let the network grow more (see for example how Reddit started).

Is it? Kansas[1] has the same setup:

The Good Housekeeping Eel of Approval
Its analogous to that in a lot of the US but the social pressure remains and is somehow getting worse.

Where I live, waiters used to be exempted from the minimum wage laws, meaning tips were effectively their entire wage. Recently, my state removed the tipped employee exemption (meaning waiters earn minimum wage plus any tips) and nearly doubled the minimum wage.

But, did the expectation to tip go down? Nope, its been shooting up from 15% to 20+% instead. I've been dramatically cutting back on how much I tip to <10%, which makes me rude and a jerk.
Right, but the above figure is under-shooting if anything since it budgets $0 for software development. Microsoft definitely charged a premium for accessories, seems like a classic price discrimination, wherein the richer consumers were subsidizing the cost of the console (and its development) for poorer ones.
The suggestions appear to refer to some custom-tailored software made specifically for organized crime purposes, the example given being EncroChat[0]. Stuff like Signal, Telegram, Tor or whatever are not included in this proposal.

> the provisions will not apply to commercially available mobile phones nor the encrypted messaging apps available on them

That said, I'm never a fan of any outlawing of encryption of any kind, so I do hope people in the respective jurisdictions voice their disagreement. I also imagine that what starts as "just criminal-focused services" will quickly expand to more popular stuff.

The Fairtax prebate alleviates the burden on the working poor, but the regressiveness shifts up to the middle class.

The wealthy still don't consume most of their income. As the article you link to points out, "you wouldn’t be taxed on your interest, dividends and capital gains" -- the things that wealthy people do with their money. The burden of running the country would fall on the middle class, raising their taxes from what they are now, and decreasing it on the wealthiest.

Economists only prefer consumption taxes on things they're trying to diminish, like producing carbon. On everything else, they want consumption. It's what keeps the economy going; it's the essence of GDP. Consumption increases the velocity of money and keeps people employed. Sitting on your cash causes deflation, which most economists consider very dangerous.

Wait wait wait. It can sync my Google and Outlook calendars into a single scheduling service, and they're not charging me anything?

What's the catch here?
Regardless of your perception of fairness, you should be aware that waitstaff usually remember repeat customers who never leave a tip.

It might not be a great idea to frequent the place if that's your chosen form of social protest.
Given that the very flight in question had Inmarsat equipment on board, I think it's fair to be at least somewhat surprised by the lack of periodic location updates.

But technology in aviation moves (generally for very good reasons!) at a different pace than in many other industries, and in this case it unfortunately meant having an operational satellite communications system on board (used for engine performance data telemetry transmitted to the manufacturer), but not having it wired up to ADS-C, an existing standard which allows automated position reporting over that same connection.

Inmarsat has modified their offerings [1] since MH370: One free ADS-C position report every 15 minutes for planes that do support it (implying that transmission cost is a concern for not activating the option unless required for air traffic control via FANS), and the ability to piggy-back a position report onto a "handshake/ping" for those that don't, which would presumably have included MH370.

For aircraft not equipped with any Satcom, some satellite constellations (including e.g. the latest generation of Iridium satellites) include payloads that allow direct tracking of ADS-B signals as well.

> If businesses are trying to get more money, they should do it by transparently raising prices instead of tricking people into paying hidden fees.

Yup. This seems like a terrible long term strategy. If I'd eaten expecting $X, and the total is now $X + $Y, and they have the nerve to remind me it's not a tip, I'm probably not leaving a tip, and I'm -definitely- not coming back.

Most cities are rather static in populace. This is a great way to see yourself out of business for a tiny short term profit.
I'd also like to know how it visualizes other music. The song seems like it was crafted specifically for the demo, or at least I think that sometimes it's too good with the spirals sitting still - but it may as well just be the combination of this brilliant visualization and the sine waves of whatever signal.
