Unlikely; the current Georgian gov't is rabidly pro-Russian. They've got the previous (anti-Russian, pro-Ukrainian) president thrown in jail, slowly dying (Saakashvili). And the country is rammed full of Russian ex-pats.

Much of the populace seems extremely unhappy about this, but it's an unstable situation in the wrong way that would lead to military action in that way.
The "U" stands for Unshielded, the "S" stands for Shielded. For home use and office use, UTP is fine. STP makes sense in "noisy" (electrical or magnetic) environments, such as factory floors with heavy machinery, clinics & hospitals with specific machinery, etc. See more details on the kind of protection the shielding offers here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shielded_cable
The article gets the 50/50 case subtly wrong. The really naive analysis is that you have two doors so it's 50/50. A less naive, more interesting analysis, is that there are twelve possible outcomes, of which six are favourable (if the correct option is A, pick A -> presenter picks B is different from pick A -> presenter picks C).

The article hides this away by lumping those two under "Host opens B or C" without further justification, but it's important to notice that this only works because those twelve outcomes have different probabilities.

Edit: In table form,

Car Guest Monty Swap? Probability
A A B No 1/3 * 1/3 * 1/2 = 1/18
A A C No 1/3 * 1/3 * 1/2 = 1/18
A B C Yes 1/3 * 1/3 = 1/9
A C B Yes 1/3 * 1/3 = 1/9
B A C Yes 1/3 * 1/3 = 1/9
B B A No 1/3 * 1/3 * 1/2 = 1/18
B B C No 1/3 * 1/3 * 1/2 = 1/18
B C A Yes 1/3 * 1/3 = 1/9
C A B Yes 1/3 * 1/3 = 1/9
C B A Yes 1/3 * 1/3 = 1/9
C C A No 1/3 * 1/3 * 1/2 = 1/18
C C B No 1/3 * 1/3 * 1/2 = 1/18

Total Yes = 6 * 1/9 = 6/9 = 2/3
Total No = 6 * 1/18 = 6/18 = 1/3
The current Kazakh leadership certainly seems to be intent on balancing Chinese, Russian and Western influences. In the future, possibly even South Asian influences.

It makes sense; Kazakhstan is a huge country, can't be easily subdued by force, so diplomacy is the name of the game, and it pays to be "an expensive bride" to multiple suitors. Especially when accounting for Kazakh natural resources.
Right I forgot to mention all of the programmers have to be sociopaths with no common goal whatsoever.

I like my Macs precisely because they are boring and almost never surprise me.

TBH, the only reason my Linux boxes surprise me is because I try stupid things such as mounting /var/log as a tmpfs to reduce write loads (mostly on RPis SD cards and eMMC devices).
There's another version of the Monte Hall problem that highlights why this is such a counterintuitive problem.

Imagine that after you pick your box, Monte Hall invites an audience member up on stage and instructs them to choose one of the remaining two doors to open. This audience member doesn't know anything at all and just randomly picks one of the two doors. When their door is opened we see that it's empty. You're now given the option of switching just like in the standard game. Should you?

Cosmetically everything is identical with the standard game, but if you analyze the game carefully this time you're left with a 50/50 shot so there's no benefit of switching.

I think most of the arguments in this article would appear to work for this modified version of the game which means that they're not actually getting to the heart of the problem.

For completeness, the reason this now reduces to 50/50 is that there's also now a chance that the spectator opens the door with the car behind it, something that couldn't happen in the original Monte Hall problem. Put another way, there's actually a little bit of information that's conveyed to you when you see that the spectator happens to not open the door with the car and this extra information exactly cancels the usual benefit you get from eliminating the other empty door. In the example of "scaling up" in the article, if you did this with 20 doors and the spectator randomly picks 18 of the 19 unopened ones to open and then happen to not stumble upon the car, you might actually think that you could have been lucky all along. Ultimately you're left with a 50/50 chance.

In the table, why does the host picking one of the other boxes get combined into a single probability row? If the host could pick either box, and both of those choices result in a loss, should we count that as additional possibilities?

Odly enough at the wedding of a friend you could tell his friends were from the grey tribe because they all wore monochrome and his wife's friends from the rainbow tribe because they all wore rainbows.

To be fair, it's not as funny as automating data cleaning, on the principle that data scientists don't want to do it.

And yeah, lots of people dislike it, but you can't build models without an understanding of the data, so even if automated data cleaning became possible (unlikely) you'd still need to spend a load of time doing work on the dataset before building anything useful.
> The thermostat algorithm combines demand-response with weather and time-of-use rate plans to reduce monthly utility bills through pre-cooling and pre-heating.

In addition to this, have you considered also offering a simple model? I have very bad experience with heating systems lecturing me about the outside temperature. It is always a game of coercion to get them to do what I want.

I want no outside thermostat, no connection to the Internet. I want a single knob to set the room temperature. If I set it to 25°C after a long walk in winter, I want it to be 25°C within half an hour.

From my experience, the issue is that the 50% intuition is hard to overcome (and it takes an overwhelming amount of evidence for the 33%/66% reality in order to overcome that intuition). Here's an alternate version of the game which aims to dismantle the 50% intuition directly, instead of trying to argue for 33%/66%.

You pick a box, and another empty box is revealed. Then, the two remaining boxes are shuffled so that you no longer can tell which is which (but the game host still knows). You then choose one of four options:

- take box A,

- take box B,

- ask the host to give you the box you picked initially, or

- ask the host to give you the box you didn't pick initially.
They can run one where china supplies the required components.

"Some buses in London also have "Hail and Ride" zones, where a bus can be stopped with a wave on the hand at any point on the route.—It certainly wouldn't be practical in urban areas where the bus could be stopped every few meters."

Funny the author writes that but these sorts buses do exist in certain cities like İstanbul. A special class of privately operated 'mini-buses' run along a predefined and long route, picking up and dropping passengers at practically any point along the route.

The system works because of the sheer volume of these buses and the simple, straight road. It almost resembles a river and the settlement around it.
This was the one that worked when explaining it to my friends.

It gives a mental image of the host opening 998 boxes, leaving only your selected box and one other. From here it’s easier to see that there must be something special about that one box the host left un-opened!

(Though even then there were people who clung to the “2 boxes means 1-in-2 chance” fallacy, failing to see that the host has revealed information.)

Edit: an other version was to change the hosts proposal: what if he let you choose one box, and then said he would let you switch to having whatever was in the other 999 boxes? Of course you would switch! The crux is understanding that this offer is actually the same as in the first proposal, since the host is not opening the boxes at random.
> How do people tell where left and right click are without looking down?

Commonly on large touchpads, left click is a one-finger tap, while right click is a two-finger tap, either of them taking place anywhere on the surface.

My impression is that dedicated click regions are going out of fashion.

Trying to solve complex problems with simple improvised solutions is the definition of populism, and is normally worse than doing nothing.
Definitely. Engineers historically would monitor in the car, in tiny speakers like Avantone Mixcubes, on even on boom boxes (I think Michael Brauer and Michael Beinhorn have gone on the record about doing it).

Today a lot of them are checking on Airpods and the like.
C++ allows accessing inactive members in the special case when the active member shares a "common initial sequence" with the particular inactive member.

So yeah, it's possible to store the tag in the common initial sequence of all the union members.

This is quite niche and rarely used. Most of the time it makes more sense to have the tag outside. Sometimes the tag in the common initial sequence allows the whole data structure to pack better than with a tag outside of the union.

Most of the companies in the list above where the number 1, major leader, unbreakable, ... until some inflexion point, and then vanished.

Apple is not decreasing today at all, but it has not made any vision-revolution recently either. The most innovative things they launched are not visionary, the are mostly logical technological upgrades (M1, cameras, ...), or are being reverted/scrapped/fixed (the touch bar, the notch, ...). It also has a huge pressure to not be monopolistic anymore with the App Store.
I'm an instrumentation junkie at heart, but I'm a pragmatist first. I have a cheap receiver and cheap speakers. What I want so badly is for software solutions to be properly cheap. Rooms are relatively static conditions, meaning a simple FIR filter can be tuned once and give consistent results. Calibrating speakers and room multipath should not be gatekept with $1000+ hardware. Freedsp is the only name I know that offers a cheap option. They are a modest operation that only supply designs and bare boards. Integrating freedsp into a modern home theatre setup requires inelegant solutions (Source -> TV -> Receiver -> freedsp -> amplifier).

I just wish there was any competition left in the big players to push measurable home audio performance higher.
I've been pretty skeptical of an invasion scenario. It's never made sense to me, because Taiwan is so close to the Mainland. If Taiwan wanted to, they could do an immense amount of damage to valuable infrastructure. When this is posited online to a Chinese audience, it seems people believe that they would never do that because China would annihilate the country.

My take is that China just plans to harass Taiwan. Last week it's believed China cut internet cables. We might continue to see China escalate until they start creating real economic damage (i.e an embargo).

This military build up is to make the US more hesitant to get involved in behaviors that don't quite warrant a war, but are severe enough to start pressuring Taiwan for concessions.

This whole situation is honestly pretty scary still, because it relies on no miscalculations. My own take is I blame Xi. Past presidents, like Obama, are often blamed for their weak stance against China, but many don't realize Hu Jin Tao was an entirely different leader. All the NYTimes articles about China joining the global order seemed far more reasonable, because Hu was very pro-globalization and no where close to as nationalistic. The KMT (Taiwan's pro-China party), was much stronger when China was run by Hu.

Recently Xi has broken convention and is in his third term. He has through anti-corruption campaigns and politicking filled the politburo with his people. There was a brief belief that post-covid, the country would pivot, however that now looks unlikely. China and America are going to have a tumultuous half-decade at-least.
The problem with measuring the "harm" of something like AI vs e.g. lead is that with lead there are direct first order chemical harmful effects that are indisputable. With AI, any harm will get expressed via complex social dynamics, which involve so many other variables as well.

Consider the Honty Mall problem: it’s like the original problem, except after you pick a box, Honty offers you both of the other boxes. It’s much easier to see swapping is better in this problem, and it’s also easier to see that the chance is 2/3 if you swap. Then you just have to show that the Honty Mall problem is equivalent to the Monty Hall problem, by stipulating that Monty will always open a box that’s empty.

There is a linguistic illusion at work here.

In the Monty Hall problem, you think you are choosing between one door and one other door. But in fact, you are choosing between one door and two doors.

The choice is between "this door" (1/3 probability for winning) and "all other doors" (2/3 probability for winning).
Apparently quite a few people have Ring cameras inside their homes as well.

And another point. You might not think video outside your home matters, but it could be invaluable to burglars who want to know when you're not home. I could imagine it being used to deanonymize location data as well because it would provide known locations and timestamps to filter data against.

Maybe I am an optimist, but I'd say Vaadin is mostly Open Source (Apache License). You can build complete web applications with the open source version. Only some advanced components (e.g. an Excel-like grid, a WYSIWYG editor, Highcharts components) are proprietary and require a subscription for development, while the builds can be freely distributed.

In slovenia, we have a bunch of place names, named after what was/is there, and since things repeat, place names also repeat, which can be a pain when trying to find stuff on a map or even when navigating with google maps

Someone lived by the stream ("Potok"), and you refer to it by that? After some time, that place gets named "Stream" ("Potok")... and we have 7 of those in slovenia.

A birch (or more) growing there (birch=Breza)? The locals refer to that as "Brezje", and we have 7 places named that.

Something with thorns ("Trn, Trnje")? 6 places named "Trnovec"

It's on a larger hill ("Planina")? 6 places.

Was there a new (nova) village (vas) built? 5 settlements named "nova vas"

Sometimes that can be solved by using "<settlement name> by <other large settlement>", but sometimes you have no idea and have to ask (or look at the post number or something).

The section on "enums and pattern matching" in the Rust book is probably a good place to start: https://doc.rust-lang.org/book/ch06-00-enums.html

A "Rust enum" is a sum type.

Also, I talked about ASTs being a good example use case for a sum type. Here's a "real" version of an AST for a regular expression in all its complex glory: https://github.com/rust-lang/regex/blob/a9b2e02352db92ce1f6e...

You can see that it starts out as a sum type at the top level. And inside each variant is all sorts of product types and other sum types.

But do note in practice that sum types aren't limited to specialized things like ASTs. In practice, they come up everywhere. For example, here's a small little state machine used to implement a simple "unescape" routine. e.g., converting the string 'a\xFF\t' to the byte sequence 0x61 0xFF 0x09: https://github.com/BurntSushi/ripgrep/blob/44fb9fce2c1ee1a86...

And the fact that a painting is not reproducible. The best you can get is close to the original, but it will still be different because its the real world. Copies of digital assets are exact replicas. Thus, the only real value is, as you say, provenance, but I think much fewer people care about that than we all seem to think.
Somehow I must've been lucky enough to avoid this unwrap abuse in crates I use.

I think you maybe meant converting between errors in Rust can be tedious sometimes, but propagation is pretty easy.

The conversation is something that generally need's to happen rarely (like a few times per project?), but `thiserror` and `from` make this pretty ergonomic.

If it were up to me every person with access to a computer where other people's personal or financial data is handled should be required to get a security certification stating they have a basic understanding of digital signatures, certificates, HTTPS, encryption and how to protect against common threats (phishing, social engineering). If people can't do that they might as well go back to typewriters and FAX machines.
I'm aware. I wrote go-sumtype long before Go got generics.
We're not talking about SVB: we're talking about the customers of SVB.

If you're a not-small company (many dozens of people, which a few million in assets), why would you put all your financial eggs in one basket? Even if they're generally well-run, any institution can be hit with 'bad luck' like ransomware by some zero-day.

Just by having (say) one-quarter of your assets at another institution it makes sure you can make payroll and pay your bills for some period of time while things are sorted out at the 'primary'.
Eaiser dragging and gestures I guess. But I think a lot of it is aesthetics. Apple keeps the same aspect ratio pad and then increases the size so it always fills the space between the keyboard and the edge of the laptop. So as screen size increases so does the trackpad. It does look better than when they didn't do this for example the old 17" MBP which IIRC had the same trackpad as the 13" at the time.
Imagine there are 999 boxes with nothing in them and one box with the keys. After picking a box, the hosts opens 998 empty boxes. Would you still stick with your initial choice?
It's because it makes the initial choice so increasingly unlikely (increasing with the number of doors) to be correct that when the doors are taken away and you're left with only two, one of which must be right, it means that the other door is incredibly likely to be the right one.

C = car, G = goat. Column 1 = Door 1, etc. The car could be behind any of the three doors, hence the three rows showing each possibility.

C G G

G C G

G G C

You choose a door, say Door 1. Monty opens another door with a goat behind it.

C x G

G C x

G x C

Now look at the grid. Staying in column 1 gives you the probability space C G G, a 1/3 chance of getting a car. Switching gives you C C G, a 2/3 chance of getting a car.

I see this a lot with guitars, too.

Lots of 60+ people trying to find the holy grail they dreamed about when they were kids. But HOW can a 2000, 1000 USD guitar be a "holy grail"?

So they end up with collections of six, seven, eight high-end Les Pauls, Strats, etc. Or perhaps buying USD 5000+ custom shop instruments. Some of them get to collections of 30, 50, 60.

Of course it's a lot of fun, and not as expensive as, say, a Cello or Oboe collection. So I get why they do it. But as someone who moves often, I'd rather have just one :D
So it's a Frankenstein monster, with no real pattern matching support. Good luck with using it in the real world.
