I mean there is if they'd fix it :) . Don't sync those 4 if they already exist, don't sync at all otherwise. I would assume if you are smart enough to use sync you're smart enough to know that it will blow away old "local" settings.
China could do the same thing if they wanted. That isn't a good excuse to violate national airspace. Maybe they want to intercept cell phone data.
NORAD said after the last balloon they modeled it and recalibrated their signal filtering to lower the thresholds (full transparency: I know what those words mean when string together, but I’m no expert and have 0 functional knowledge of what that means wrt NORAD).

Now that they’ve said that, I’m actually more concerned and it raises more questions than it answers. Perspective of some retired NORAD employee would be very welcome
I still can’t believe you can only be logged into one. Also when I re-log in it shows all the tutorial pop up boxes on everything EVERY SINGLE TIME.
Where do you find that at? I just looked in both the Sync settings and Container settings and I do not see that setting.
Same.
Former NH resident and have been a Linux / free software proponent for decades. For the most have not even had a functional Windows machine most of the time. Do not ever recall a scenario where I encountered some kind of proprietary software. We had multiple houses, cars, boats, dogs, other property. All kinds of things that I had to register or deal with the state on annually and can’t recall any issues.
Not much is known of the AIM-9X but it is probably similar to the AIM-9L.

The AIM-9L doesn't lock on to the hottest thing, it takes an IR picture of the scene and follows the targeted "blob" in the image that's generated. Additionally it has laser proximity fusing so it knows when it is close to the shape it is tracking. By not simply picking the hottest thing in a scene you can't hide in front of the sun anymore, and the effectiveness of flares is reduced.

The only thing needed to generate a "blob" good enough to target is sufficient ΔT between the scene and the targeted object.

The objects, and they have been curiously consistent with calling them "objects", definitely have sufficient ΔT compared to the background sky if they are made of any solid material that has been exposed to sunlight for any period of time.
Yes, and the flow is as I described.

1. Install Firefox.

2. Log in to fresh Firefox instance.

3. Let browser-wide sync happen.

4. Sync installs multi-account containers addon.

5. Four empty default containers are created. New user welcome flow is active.

6. Sign in to multi-account containers addon. Wait for container sync to do its thing.

7. Containers sync invisibly in the background.

- Default containers that you deleted before (in the instance you are syncing from) still exist in this fresh instance.

- New user welcome UX is still active.
unless you have especially rigorous grading (and look at the volume of comments here bitching about grading on a curve, so it's rare), it's easy to get good grades by just doing the normal amount of work, put in some time each day on each class. It's a measure of conscientiousness, not smartness, ability, etc., but yes, it's a good measure of getting a baseline amount of learning out of a course, nothing exceptional.

(people here who bitch about grading on a curve should take a course in statistics graded on a curve, then listen to their fellow students who got A's to explain how it works.)

Uh... They aren't quite as safe as you're implying. Hydrogen is really easy to light, and if one balloon goes the others in the bunch will 100% ignite too. You still get a pretty good amount of fire per balloon, just not an explosion.
I don't feel this way at all. Played the new Call of Duty : Modern Warfare and it was a mind blowing cinematic experience. Felt like I was in a blockbuster movie.

Watching a friend playing Ghost of Tsushima and it's the same. So good. Horizon : Zero Dawn. Crazy stuff.

I don't know what these guys are doing, but the scenes are gorgeous. The gameplay is loads of fun (MW2 is sooo much fun). The choreography is great. Love it all.
> Apple Silicon is a beast. I wish more developers would take advantage of it.

It's consumer electronics. Not very useful for people who want to build things containing a CPU/GPU.
I highly doubt is the US government doesn't know what they do, it's just the public that doesn't know.
I've asked ChatGPT to take the derivative of an expression and the one it gave back to me was off by a minus sign. I tried to get it to calculate the expression for the height of a rocket flying vertically in constant gravity and the answer it gave me was just the rocket equation with h = instead of v = and I then got into a curious discussion with it about dimensional analysis where it just gaslit the crap out of me. If you think it is good at "analytic" tasks you haven't challenged it much.
Scala has type inference [1]

I work in the AV field: Across all the real competitors (not Tesla) sensors are things like LIDAR, Cameras (visible spectrum and infrared), radio radars (yes radar already includes radio, but for laypeople LIDAR is confused with radar), microphones.

-

Tesla doesn't have them for two different reasons...

Claimed reason: Humans have eyes and make driving work, so cars won't need more than that.

Real reason: Tesla wants to make money by selling the package to the public today. It needs to be cheap enough to be mass produced today, and sold at an accessible cost.

And it doesn't really matter to them if the current stack will be enough because regardless of what they claim, they're not averse to screwing over current owners and releasing a new stack and abandoning people who paid for an untenable one (note: I've been saying this since before they did exactly this with HW4 a few week ago...)

The sensor stacks alone the actual AV players use are worth more than the average Tesla. That's why they're mostly initially aiming for ridesharing, where the company can own the vehicle.

“SILEX is the only privately held information that is classified by the US gov.”
It was obvious to some of us that De Goes was targeted for political reasons, in a nasty example of cancel culture coordinated by one of John’s OSS competitors within the Scala ecosystem.

Since then the ringleader of this cancel culture has been exposed for what he is - an aggressive and politically motivated stalker who built tools for forensically analyzing people’s social media history and associations, shared lists of targets, lengthy public character assassinations, doxxing etc. As a measure of his extreme views, even paulg was included in his ‘hate speech graph’

Sadly this stalker also managed to coordinate the complete cancellation of at least one other prominent member of the Scala community before the community realized what was going on.

There are extreme personalities in the Scala world. As a language, it attracts mathematical purists with deep specialism. This makes it a magnet for aspies (no offense intended. I am autistic).
If you don't tell people the truth about something like this, they will cheerfully make something up and accept it as truth.

That's not a "necessary function of any civilization," that's dereliction of duty to the people who elected the leaders.
Well. My point is that messaging inherently have all these features, without needing any other tooling.

The combination of transactionality and retrying is hard to achieve with REST, don't you think? It is actually pretty mesmerizing how our system handles screwups like a database going down, or some nodes crashing, or pretty much any failure: The flows might stop up for a few moments, but once things are back in place, all the flows just complete as if nothing happened. I shudder when thinking of how we would have handled such failures if we used sync processing.

The one big deal is the concept of "state is on the wire": The process/flow "lives in the message" - not as a transient memory-bound concept on the stack of a thread.
The tool needs to get out of the way. People are busy and have a million other things on their minds. Grappling with an obtuse, broken product is a hurdle.

As it stands, Firefox containers are 10x more complicated than regular browsing and it exposes sharp edges.
Do you know what sets it off? Seems like it wouldn't be from impact as these balloon materials couldn't be comparable to say hitting another plane, right?
"Our software isn't bloated, it just can't do maths!" isn't the great defence one may think it is.

It's perfectly understandable that the used space can be indicated in GB instead of GiB, but the total size also shows GB. The phone claims 512GB of total space, not the 476GiB this article would suggest.

In other words: the phone lies. It claims 512GB on the box but when you try to use that, you end up with less actual usable space. Samsung, of course, doesn't want to label their phone as 476GiB when their boxes say 512GB so I doubt they'll fix it with accurate numbers.

Sure, you can fix the correction, but the progress bar and the section of unusable space is still just as big.
Why Don't High-end Graphics Cards Have Expandable Memory? (2017)
This is misleading. For nearly $2000, you better be getting 4K with ray tracing (max settings), AKA, a top of the line device. 1440p/144 is midrange now.

Which that $1865 one does not provide. Even before ray tracing, most games struggle to hit the 144 rate you're aiming for, so with ray tracing that drops down to like ~40 (Cyberpunk 2077 for example in that 6900XT card). You have to enable workarounds like DLSS/FSR to make those games playable.

The only way you're getting good framerate at 4k is without ray tracing, but you're paying $2000 to have to worry about still disabling settings? Ridiculous!

So yes, they are overpriced. For $2000 you should not be worried about having to enable FSR.

The usual excuse when this is brought up is "well just don't play those games, they seem unoptimized" to which again, the question is, why are you spending two thousand dollars to avoid playing certain games? How absurd.
I picked up a Dev One and am very happy with it and its Linux support. If you can't find one, it's just a rebranded Elitebook 845 G8.

Otherwise, System76/Clevo are the usual recommendations, along with certain Thinkpad models.

Here's what r/linuxhardware recommends: https://old.reddit.com/r/linuxhardware/comments/1073j9f/reco...
At FL400+, anything not the earth is basically space – if you point an IR camera in the sky outwards, it really does look very cold as the pressure is basically zero and scattered IR photons are few and far between. Objects that are not vacuum have a signature in the IR – both a black-body temperature (which, even at ~ -55 ºC, is a hell of a lot higher than single-digit kelvin…) and possibly the opportunity to reflect any incident light.
It might be always-enabled now. Either way, containers sync is a separate event that can't be triggered manually.

I bought a 1080 quite a while after they launched. I still have it. I have thought about building a new PC lately, and it seems to me that newer cards are ... not as much as an upgrade as I might have been led to believe? Especially given the cost. If I did build a new PC today, I am not entirely sure I would buy a new video card. The performance/value ratio doesn't seem as appealing as jumping to the 1080 did at the time back then.
I saw that too! Warp is doing a great job of aggregating features. Hope they release a Linux build sooner than later.
For someone that hasn't used Brave in a while - what's the difference between Brave profiles and profiles in other Chromium browsers?
Yeah. On-device ML. Cameras are also still improving YoY as more people abandon standalones. But while I'm usually on a 3 year cycle, I'd have to be convinced with this year's model.

And I may slide in a Mac Mini/Studio in place of my iMac at some point, I'm not really in a hurry in spite of being out of OS update support. It's basically a browser machine given I have a newish laptop.
SWIG generates binding code. This is dynamic.

It's the Go equivalent of Python's ctypes, I think?
> So yesterday/today Musk is tweeting

I mean, at this point, are you going to take anything he says at face value without independent corroboration?
yes, but you're cart before horse. The structure of paper newspaper and magazine recipe articles and "prose remembrance" cookbooks is the same. Tweaking that model for online use, very plausible, but it's also the way these "stories" are told anyway.
If I understand this right, this is basically the Erlang/Elixir OTP programming model, but across microservices rather than across a single (potentially distributed) VM. To be clear - that is a good thing.

One of the core concepts of OTP (effectively the Erlang standard library) is the GenServer. A GenServer processes incoming messages, mutates state if appropriate and sends responses. The OTP machinery means that this "send a message and wait for a response" is just a straight function call with return value to the caller. OTP takes care of all the edge cases (like when the process at the other end goes away half way through). This means that your code is just a straight series of synchronous function calls, which may be sending messages underneath to do things or get data, but you don't have to care. It's a lovely system to work in, and makes complicated systems feel simple.

The elements communicating are in Erlang terminology 'processes' - but not OS processes, they are instead lightweight userspace schduled things - very lightweight to create. Erlang has built in distribution that allows you to connect multiple running machines, and then the same message passing works across network boundaries. You're still limited to the BEAM VM though. This is the 'full' microservice version of that.

PC CPU Shipments See Steepest Decline in 30 Years

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=34764619
It’s a trick question. Neither company will want to pay employees anywhere near market rates if they can avoid it. The smaller the pot for employees the larger the profits & management pools
Shame they can’t just gun them down with a tucano. This all seems like a large waste of money.
Both are rooted in confidence. If you know your shit, and you know it well, you're going to write good code. And if you know your shit, you'll find a lot of garbage code written by retarded pretenders who'd better have chosen another profession where they, at least, wouldn't stand on your way.
>At this point I'm convinced it's just an informal cycle, where if they actually reported in a realistic manner, no release would be exciting. If they didn't pair bottom of the line CPUs with top end GPUs and odd settings configurations under the guise of "not wanting to reflect a GPU bottleneck", it'd be a lot clearer how badly needs have stagnated vs the speed of these new SKUs

Hardware unboxed did a video explaining why reviews do that: https://youtu.be/Zy3w-VZyoiM

tl;dw: you're not caring about the performance today, you're caring about the performance a few years from now when you bought a faster GPU.
It's not technically profit-seeking, they were pursuing no promising outside opportunities having any worthwhile margins or upside at all.

This was internal wealth extraction, partially from the employee pool, that adds to the bottom line the same way, like this institution has been astute enough to better avoid since the 19th century.

Until somewhat recently.

You can't realistically expect decision-makers who have spent zero decades working on the rails to have an optimum outcome compared to those who have spent a lifetime.
I think you're stating exactly my point?

The pitch of MATS is that it let's:

> developers code message-based endpoints that themselves may “invoke” other such endpoints, in a manner that closely resembles the familiar synchronous “straight down” linear code style

In other words, they want to encourage you to feel like you are coding a synchronous workflow while actually coding an asynchronous one. You are pointing out that error handling needs to be different b/w these paradigms and you are correct, but that is only the start of it. A framework that papers over the differences is at very high risk of just creating a massive number of leaky abstractions that don't show up in the happy scenario but come back and bite you heavily when things go wrong.

(I'm saying this as a long time user of Camel which models this exact concept heavily and also experiences many of these issues)
A quick look at Amazon shows that's part of the problem is that now instead of a few well known middlemen it's now several hundred to several thousand. That's part of the article's point.
Reward individuals for getting things done. Not itself an easy task, but as long as everyone makes roughly the same salary... and as long as those jobs are gated in the first place by credentials and ridiculous interviews...

Most everywhere I see progress, there's some kind of figure of merit or leaderboard. Yes, optimizing to a metric leads to problems, but it's better than optimizing to nothing. And those problems can be mitigated

I think you may have re-discovered the S-curve?

The y-axis isn’t forever. Once you plateau, it’s time to change the definition. Then a new S-curve can begin.

Over time you observe periods of quantifiable growth interspersed with discrete jumps.

That said, I believe the core of y-intercept advice hides two key wisdoms: a) don’t be discouraged when you’re new, and b) don’t rest on your laurels when you’re experienced

And perhaps c) if someone is both way better than you and improving faster, you’ll never catch up. This is why I never pursued competitive boxing, for example. Don’t have the talent.
I live in a Mexican area, so that is the cultural divide. You can replace it with McDonald's, the public library, grocery stores, etc and it have the same message. You're correct that anyone can use them, and even rich people use them too. Chance encounters like that go away when you're too efficient.

> The researchers also found snack items, such as dried blackberries, raspberries, grapes and flax

Some can be snacks but its main purpose could be very different. Flax seeds are tiny and really not so valuable as snack, but you can powder them and obtain a very fine oil to use in lamps. In a six month dark winter or in a ship this can be more than a luxury. You could also save them for culturing at home and obtain a source of fine and durable clothes. Almond oil can be used in skin care to alleviate the effect of the cold in the face. Can be used also in candles.

Flax oil can be used also in another very important thing in a wooden ship, to protect the wood and made it shiny, more durable and waterproof.

Henbane is the outlier but could be used externally and its purpose in navigation is fascinating. Rare in the North but can be found in central and southern Europe if you know what to look for. Is not a creature that you should underestimate or play with but Vikings really don't need to navigate a lot to find it.

The dried berries are all European crops. Maybe their purpose was to acquire valuable varieties of crops. May be used also to dye clothes.

I don't understand why there is any doubt about this. From OP, section "Methods", subset "Data set creation and splits":

"The training, validation and test data sets are generated without overlap from periods in sequence. Successive periods of 400, 12, 40, 40 and 12 h are used to sample, respectively, training, validation, and test data, with the two 12 h periods inserted as hiatus."

I know nothing about machine learning, but I was in grad school with others studying machine learning and I took a Coursera course on the subject, and carving out a training set is utterly standard practice. A paper that didn't do this would get filtered by a grad student reviewer. So I'm not sure what possible sub-category of machine learning your statements could apply to. Can you share any examples? For example, do any of the famous papers in the field fail to hold out test data? Something like AlphaGo or AlphaZero is indeed testing on all new data -- new games it plays with others. Do any papers in well-known machine learning fora fail to hold out test data? Does anything that has bubbled to the front page of HN? It would be interesting to look at if so.

Do you mean p-hacking? That's a much more subtle thing.

The information about their participation in space programs were enlightening, though.
