Math should really about understanding concepts and developing intuition, not about equations. The equations and formalisms are there to precisely codify our intuition and ensure (through proof) that our ideas are in fact correct, but they are less important than the intuition. It’s a shame that so much of our math education is focused on the former as opposed to the latter.

I've only seen a few games so I can't say this is universal but when I play Japanese games on the Xbox all of the achievements say something like "5.4% of gamers accomplished this" which indicates that very few people finish this games, but a few western games I played didn't seem to show these percentages and I wonder if this is an attempt to work on people's psychology.

I fly an Autel Evo 2 Pro, and love it - but I still recommend people new to drones pick up a used DJI Mavic Mini (or Mini2) when just getting into aerial photography. You can pick them up barely used, with three batteries, charger, and carrying case for ~$250 if you shop around.

I've had five of the things at this point. I keep buying them when I find them cheap, and passing them on to people who are entering the hobby/field. It's always a good idea to have a backup when I'm working a job, and the Mini series is small and light enough that I can throw it in my camera bag even when I'm not planning on flying.
"Never" is a bit extreme. It's almost never high value for the average programmer Joe, but super high value for athletes, physically taxing jobs, amateur runners and so on.

Both carbs value and dread come from their quick, easily convertible energy, which used to be a big plus when we were all working the land or building stuff, but indeed has very little value when we sit on our assets all day.
earth has likely never had as diverse an ecosystem as it has this millennium.

> only to be used with the driver constantly monitoring and being aware, but that's an unrealistic expectation

FSD monitors the driver for indicators of inattention, e.g. not looking at the road. First you get a visual alert, then a shrill alarm, and if you're still not paying attention the vehicle slows to a stop. Drivers with a history of inattention are locked out of FSD.

Contrast with traditional cruise control where you can fall asleep at the wheel going 100mph and it'll hold that speed until you crash. Of course no one wrings their hands about that.

Some did. Most stayed in their little town for their entire lives.

AAA games take thousands of hours of labor from huge teams to create. When you consider how much work goes into it, $70 seems like a bargain. Also, if you account for inflation these kinds of games are cheaper now than they've been for most of gaming's history.

In practice, however, many games fail to break out of super basic gameplay loops. I usually prefer cheaper indie games where I have more fun.
Zipline is using a rather strange propeller design that is apparently effective: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DOWDNBu9DkU&t=831s
In general I agree that Big Tech is too big or is in some way anticompetitive; In this case however there is no threat in my opinion. Video games are not a utility and have no control over utilities unlike eg. Amazon (where we can debate what control Amazon has). That to me is the most important factor. Besides that point, there is no inherent anticompetitive element to one company owning a large portion of the video game market because it does not prevent others from competing. Anyone can make their own game, and indie games succeed year after year, even if 99% fail.

The real issue is tying computers to software. Computers and software need to be considered two markets. Computers are a utility, whereas software is sometimes a utility. But by tying software and computers, these tying companies use their software to be anticompetitive in the hardware market. That is, any software which does not run on an untied hardware system is anticompetitive even if it has procompetitive effects. All this is to say that we need the Open App Markets Act to pass.

(This is all ignoring the OS market and the hardware and software tying that exists in it, which is more difficult to discus, but in my opinion system calls are anticompetitive as well by nature with the exception of a theoretical standardized set of system calls.)
Understanding how things work is useful and worthwhile on its own. Also while you probably can’t afford to train your own LLM you probably can afford to fine tune an existing one or to join one to another mode or lots of other things like that.
> Can you offer a full throated defense of why you feel it's okay to pirate media in 2023

-- NOT OP --

In the general case, no, but consider the cases of:

1. "Altered media" e.g. (1) Star Wars, (2) THX 1138.

2. "Remixed media" e.g. (1) Terminator 2 not having its theatrical CDS mix, (2) Earthquake not having its SENSURROUND mix

3. "Omitted media" e.g. (1) Halloween not having its original mono soundtrack, (2) The Exorcist not having its original mono soundtrack

4. "Missing media" e.g. (1) The Star Wars Holiday Special, (2) HBO's "Real Sex" documentary show

5. "Censored media" e.g. (1) Fantasia, (2) Song of the South

There are entire online communities dedicated to finding, restoring, and preserving items like the ones mentioned above.

So, is piracy OK in these cases? I emphatically believe it is.
Exactly. All this focus on improved image quality, battery life and whatnot, but no mention about noise levels, or even R&D into the area.

Currently, only the video is usable from drone footage, which is a huge limitation. All drone footage either has music or an audio track from an external source overlaid on top of it.

I wonder if the propeller and wind noise could be cancelled or removed with some fancy algorithms. It wouldn't eliminate the produced noise, but it would at least make the audio track usable.
> MS cannot possibly do this

They obviously can. They don't operate in every country in the world, and there is nothing forcing them to operate in the UK. It would be irresponsible not to consider a move like this weighed against the relatively small contribution the UK makes to their global revenue.

> giving up any business with NATO

I am suggesting that they have to be weighing temporary loss of the entire UK market; losing direct purchases by NATO would presumably be smaller than the entire UK market.

This isn't emotional at all. I am just suggesting that it has to be something they are considering as an option for completing the merger that their executives believe is important. Relatively speaking: they are willing to spend 14 years of their UK sales to buy Activision, so presumably they think it's important.

Eh, it's not so tough. I just don't subscribe. It's their loss more than mine.
As a Swede, this worries me "The ministry had not received a formal notification of the incident from the Swedish authorities, she added."

We have a very good relationship with Norway currently, but we must not get complacent and take them for granted. I hope this concern is taken seriously.
The big deal about FSD is that unlike autopilot, it isn't restricted to freeways, so the picture makes sense. Your summary is missing many important details.

Don’t be a nitwit. Ride/time-sharing a car is better than the alternative where gas vehicles are performing the same miles on the road. If timeshared vehicles reduce the number of cars needed per person, then we are winning. Also if they displace ICE miles we are also winning. My family only uses 1 car, which is 100% less than tue average American household. Kindly check your bitching.
- With email, it was very easy to join and use. Get an email account, get an email address, send the email. Done. You can email anyone who has email.

- With Mastodon, it's immediately more complicated than that.

- Free isn't a factor in Mastodon's favour because Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram are also free. And it's simple to understand and join.

- Everyone is on Twitter, so if you want to see their tweets, you have to join too.
In general I agree with you; but in this particular case, this is a "win" for Sony who can continue with their vast array of exclusives unhindered, and a "loss" for gaming customers due to that.
Nice share. It gives me an idea...

It would be cool if there was a unified payments API interface that payment providers (paypal, cashapp, stripe, ccbill, payment cloud, segpay, epoch, whatever) would agree to use. Hopefully, users would drive adoption, and feel free to swap providers. Also, platform agnostic (apple ios, android, web, etc). I dunno, just thinking out loud.

Yes this is what I did. Good thing to know, by the way. Since you don't need it unless you need it, and then when you need it you absolutely don't have the time to look it up.
Fats are not universally healthy. Saturated fats (above a threshold) and Trans fats are bad for you, the latter being very unhealthy and basically the worst thing you can eat.

Conversely, the right carbohydrates can be very healthy when consumed correctly.

"Essential" means just that, essential. It doesn't say anything about how much you should eat, how often, when, or anything else. Plenty of unessential things are good to consume, like non-essential amino acids.

The leading cause of death for the developed world is heart disease, and a diet high in saturated fat and low in fiber is a great way to get it.
> This keeps getting repeated.. but when I was studying, I bought used IKEA furniture, moved it around several times to different apartments, and then sold it again when I moved from that city.

> I've also renovated my house recently which involved disassembling and reassembling some IKEA furniture. They're still fine.

Indeed, I still have all of my original IKEA furniture after 7+ moves - none have "fallen apart". They just require partial disassembly to move. My IKEA desk and Billy bookcases are >20 years old and in great condition.

I'm not quite sure how people manage to be so destructive when moving.
There is already inherent latency in networked games. Cloud gaming could somewhat compensate by having the servers running the game clients close to the game hosts.
> For your second example, blaming someone for their personality disorder isn't reasonable.

We all have a responsibility for not making the lives of the close to, or dependent upon us, miserable. And if we can't do that we have the responsibility of ending our relationship. A personality disorder is ultimately a collection of excuses and rationales as to why we are more important than the other. Naming this a "personality disorder" doesn't eliminate responsibility, or blame.

> It's unfortunate that we collectively haven't yet sorted out how to establish happy monogamy more reliably.

It's fine if we haven't, there are plenty of people who are very straightforward about being non-monomgamous, and plenty of others who have tried to be monogamous but called it off after a time once they found out that they couldn't maintain it, or at the very least were truthful about their infidelity to their spouse if they couldn't, for some reason, end the marriage, and were respectful enough to keep it as out-of-their face as possible. Again, it's the treating others as less important than our own drives that's the problem.

> I still have no idea at all what or who you are trying to blame with your third example or what you are trying to say you wish were different.

1) Conscription is generally a bad idea. Especially in time of peace. Especially when the wars are not wars of defense. And most especially when there isn't a particular problem recruiting volunteers.

2) Don't make examples of people who come from shitty situations, and have made it clear time and time again that they won't do what you're asking of them.

3) Don't punish people harder for unrelated crimes, personality defects, or just things that you, personally, find annoying or less than worthwhile about them. This is what implicit bias research is attempting to address.

People are important in and of themselves. Not as extensions of you (or more broadly, whatever the government has deemed important). Even though he got paid for it, Slovik was essentially treated as a slave, and executed for disobeying his masters. Whereas 21,000+ other "slaves" were pardoned because their masters didn't find them to be all that bad.
They're even worse because, last time I checked, they are effectively a single factor as you could use them for resets.
“We had already pointed out to your client that our client is entitled to claims for damages in accordance with Section 97a (4) UrhG in the event of an unjustified claim,” writes the lawyers acting on behalf of LAION.

OK, so they're legally entitled to throw this back into the faces of whoever makes these kind of requests.

Still - it does seem rather petty. Common sense (and basic decency) would tell us to take a less knee-jerk approach. A simple form letter (explaining the lack of legal merit to their claim) should suffice to quell at least 80 percent of these claims. If the claimant persists, then yeah, you could thrown down the gauntlet like this.

Otherwise, it comes off as rather haughty and aggressive (and as the Germans would say, zickig) to breathe acid at (apparently simply uninformed) claimants like these.
It's bizarre to me that climate skeptics think the ozone issue is a point in their favor. Ozone depletion was a real issue, but the international community came together and banned the use of CFCs. Since then ozone levels stabilized and then started to recover. They should reach pre-1980s levels this century based on current trends. It is a clear example of collective action successfully addressing a climate problem.
From what I can tell developers and the infosec community moved to mastodon, that's good enough for me. I don't have to everyone on the planet using the same social media service for me to use it.
That seems like a better point -- at least, the part about changing the gender/race/etc of a real (or perhaps mythical, but well established) person. Although I gotta say, I sure did enjoy Hamilton in spite of the wild disregard for trying to make the actors resemble the people they were portraying.

Certainly more solid than what I usually hear from local people, which tends to just be complaints that a minority position was represented at all, even if it is an entirely new character. Thanks for sharing your thoughts.

> Communities are not siloed independent bubbles. People are Venn diagrams of lots of communities and interests. Selecting a username can be difficult, deciding which community you want as part of your identity—even if you can change it—is too much. The act of choosing a server has kept more than a few people away from Mastodon.

I don't want people to be Venn diagrams. I want communities to be a Venn diagram. Like subreddits, or FB Groups, or Discord servers.

I have always been a person with many interests. And Mastodon doesn't cut it for me.

The way I find new reddit subs in comments or come to know about new FB groups from friends- is missing in Mastodon.

Why should I must choose among Open Source, Math and Machine Learning? I like all of them. I should be able to see posts from all communities on a single feed.

It is also not as Twitter or Instagram. Where everything is people centric but you get suggestions and shares from different interest groups.
It would be awesome, but there’s a surfeit of material out there and these guys are doing it pro bono. Better to look at it as an entry point.

One thing I do is try to connect the concepts into textbooks I do have. Say I have an elementary proof about a cross product: try and tie that into the stuff about wedge products and exterior calculus I just learned about. Line integrals? Perfect opportunity to practice working with one-forms.

Another option for the mathematically inclined is to pause and prove everything if you feel you aren’t getting it good enough, or to build up your own visual picture from first principles as much as possible rather than memorizing the video’s presentation.

Meanwhile in WA state, the house bill advertised by https://washington.repair.org/ has, in its most recent iterations (after 02-08-2023, in this list https://app.leg.wa.gov/bi/tld/documentsearchresults?biennium...), an exemption that magically appeared:

"Exempts manufacturers or distributors of certain medical devices, motor vehicles, any power generation or storage equipment, or equipment for fueling or charging motor vehicles."

Wondering what type of farmer equipment count as "motor vehicles" here, and if tractors are counted or not.

https://lawfilesext.leg.wa.gov/biennium/2023-24/Htm/Bill%20R... :

What gets missed in this discussion is that John Deere and other large machine manufactures offset the purchase price of these machines with the expected cost of maintenance for the lifetime of the machine. This lets business owners (in this case farmers) obtain financing for machines that might in other situations be difficult to obtain. In other words, these large machine manufactures are taking on part of the cost to "finance" these machines because in the past other financial institutions have been reluctant to do so.

This is why I like subscribing to things through iOS (and iPadOS). There’s one place I can check to see all my subscriptions and stop any of them with a click or two.

When I want to subscribe to something on my iPad, I don’t think about it very long because I know it’s going to be easy to quit. It will sometimes cost more but I’ve been happy to pay it because that’s what easy quitting is worth to me.

I appreciate your advice. I regularly voice concerns about security and let management make decisions. From my perspective I've done my due diligence and my hands are clean.

I've stopped looking for "joy" from work. Mainly focused on finding joy with my children and other hobbies, while working as little as possible. The job is the means to that end now, rather than the end itself. They continue to pay me and it supports the things I want to do outside of work so I am "happy" enough. The work itself is also moderately interesting and a decent challenge from a domain perspective, so it's not all bad.

The thing is that buying a new car of any kind actively works against a future that solves the problem merely attenuated by buying an electric car. You can have the same impact by keeping your current car and simply driving less. People willing to spend $15k on this cause are probably willing to take the equally impactful and less compromising step of changing their transport and consumption habits, instead.

So you're probably right that what's left is mostly people participating in a cultural trend. You're just wrong that people are refusing to solve the problem through electric cars, since electric cars don't solve the problem. People are acting reasonably in response to that, there's no inconsistency or hypocrisy in it.
