Isn't the Chinese Yuan pegged to the US dollar though? Therefore isn't it just a derivative of the US dollar?

It's been clear for a while that China wants to increase the dominance of it's currency. The belt and road initiative and the digital renminbi is part of that.

The swift sanctions were an accelerant, not a catalyst of de-dollarization. It was no coincidence that Russia had substantial gold reserves at the time of the invasion.
I’m assuming it was an attempt at a joke drawing a parallel to <race>-on-<race> violence statistics.

The world is changing. And that's good news.
The last two years has been such a clear downgrade in standards and quality across the board.

One product I've bought for 20 years used to be sold in clear glass bottles. Last year, they replaced it with cheap plastic bottles. Then they reduced the quantity by 20% while keeping the same price.

That's just one example, but practically everything I used to buy has either increased in price, decreased in quality/quantity, or often, both together.

I think people care more about their phones than wether they use Goole docs or Word to put together a report at work which nobody is really going to read and if they do they'll ask for a PDF print out anyway and not the document itself.

Same for other products. If OneDrive or MS Teams was all of a sudden really annoying to use on iOS and Android, but Slack and Google Meet would work really reliably and smoothly then I think a lot of people would just starting to use the non Microsoft alternative because nobody likes to deal with annoyances on a daily basis. We have seen this already, when Zoom came about it captured a huge part of the market really rapidly because it did something so much better than Teams did before. It didn't even require a dark pattern, now imagine how many more would have left Teams if dark patterns would have helped on top of that.
I attended college with a bunch of guys, small in stature, really good at math and physics, and passivist.

You don't have to memorize that log(5) = 0.7 if you know log(2) = 0.3 since log(5) = log(10 / 2) = log(10) - log(2) = 1 - 0.3 = 0.7.

Also log(8) = 0.9 because log(2^3) = 3log(2) = 0.3 3 = 0.9
The example ignores the fact that pinmode is not just an initialization kind of method that you need to call once, but that there examples where you have to use it in the 'loop'. The most common is the bidirectional serial communication over a single wire, as is used with the DHT22 digital temperature and humidity sensor.
To be honest this is already largely the case.

Most if not all of the castles and palaces in the UK are open to the public through the national trust. The Monarchy have multiple residences but apart from Windsor castle (which is open to the public when they’re not there) and Buckingham palace, they are mostly cottages or manors in the countryside.

The monarchy today is not seen by anyone as a symbol of imperialism and class hierarchy unless they explicitly set out to see them as a symbol of imperialism and class hierarchy.

They are mainly to most people a symbol of the country and its traditions. Again the monarchy has existed for a thousand years and has changed as society has changed. They are a reflection of the country that hosts them. Everyone is taught about the English civil war at school and knows that the monarch was beheaded and a republic was formed (150 years before the French Revolution). Nobody feels like the monarch has us under their thumb.

As an ethnic minority growing up in Britain I can tell you from my experience and the experiences I’ve heard from other ethnic minorities, the monarchy represented to me a more fair and kind view than the politicians we elected.

The Queen would have seen me (had we met) as a subject like any of her subjects regardless of race or class, she stood above it all and the monarchy still is above it all.

While the BNP and EDL were organising marches across the country the Monarchy actually made me feel like I belonged in the country I grew up in, that is a powerful thing.
Urgh. Did they forget the lessons of the Ballmer era that forcing choices doesn’t give more usage. It’s making sure you meet people’s choices where they are. That was the big change that seemed to be in the air when Satya took over. Not entirely sure what is happening here.
Yes. It's sarcasm. Not a particularly well done joke, but approximately on the same level as if your comment were merely:

I second this motion. Really interesting idea.
Your sample prompts should show what the output would be without having to submit one's email. There is no way for anyone to understand what this does otherwise.
My previous manager and PM would scrutinise the time taken in Jira, then create a personal spreadsheet to roughly map points to hours/days (because senior stakeholders don't think in cups of coffee or t-shirt sizes), then refer to the spreadsheet privately during estimation. But he eventually let slip about the existence of it

So we just bypassed the charade and starting giving hours/days. The whole team was really just doing hours/days -> points mapping in their heads during estimation anyway.
Only technically. Relatively speaking, they would go down.

I love the UI and the way it communicates. I also like that it says that it doesn't know, rather than halucinating an answer. It would be rad, if it accepted the EU phone numbers though.
The concept of "number" has a lot of definitions in mathematics. I agree with this [0] more in depth explanation that calling infinity strictly not a number is not useful (though it certainly is not e.g. a natural number). But more importantly, the concept of evenness readily generalizes to ordinals, so as long as we specify that we are in (or move into) that context, then the question is well formed and interesting.

It's messed up because rent could be let's say $800 to $3,500 a month, if paying that every month on time isn't an indicator that you have consistent income to reduce risk on other loans then I don't know what is. It's especially messed up if the same system will ding your score if you buy $8 headphones and forget a payment.
So your team does basically, let’s say, 10 gold stars a week.

Your epic and VeryNecessaryFeature(c) takes 30 gold stars.

Pointy hair boss: this takes 3 weeks. (and make it 2)

How is this different from skipping the proxy and just using time directly?
The big difference is that Google and Apple are largely in the consumer space. MS, with Teams, is in the enterprise space where user experience isn't part of the buy decision.

rampant capitalism, especially in the US of A

the end goal is always to become a monopolist
Instated a military dictatorship in the south and helped it crush local worker councils and indigenous resistance. Then invaded the north and burned entire cities to the ground until almost no building was left standing and in the process killed a large proportion of the population.

I recommend Blowback Season 3 on the topic, it's very well done.
I totally accept this, I think I would (re)act the same.

But not without being still conflicted: this is kind of a privatisation of security.

What should be available and enforced for everyone (security of people and things) is abdicated by the society authorities, and instead of resorting to pressure them to do their job (educate, prevent, accompany, protect), people take the fast/"easier" solution of a private, paid-for solution which promise is still dubious (as it does not completely remove the anxiety but can well fuel it).

Private security companies, insurances and tech equipment sellers all have an interest in this. And again, state/communal responsibility is abdicated.

Overall, it cost more to the same population to go towards the private solutions, rather than pushing, either for the same equipment/guarantees, but through a common public requirement (because costs would be bundled), either for a voluntary policy in urbanisation, education and prevention (because of the side effects).
Electronic Music and the NeXTcube – Running Max on the Ircam Musical Workstation

To modern Spanish, very little difference. It was not consistent in past times either, with classic authors from the Spanish golden age using varying spellings.

Just wanted to point out that the variation of sound is not random, but with the sound tied to the letter. Also Spain has something that English does not, which is an official organisation studying the language and making official rules recognising how it's used at different contexts and zones.
Probably a combination of (relative) WiFi ubiquity, the ability to use a phone as a hotspot in many cases, and as soon as you're using cellular on a different device you're talking about a subscription of some sort. I don't use cellular other than on my phone enough to even activate cellular on a couple of other devices of mine that have a cellular modem.
> The parameters θ of the deep neural network in AlphaZero are trained by self-play reinforcement learning, starting from randomly initialised parameters θ. Games are played by selecting moves for both players by MCTS, at ∼ πππt. At the end of the game, the terminal position sT is scored according to the rules of the game to compute the game outcome z: −1 for a loss, 0 for a draw, and +1 for a win.

In this case sounds like better algorithm + a lot of self-generated data (but no prior knowledge other than rules).
If CEOs, CTOs, CFOs all start having annoying issues with Teams, Office, Azure, etc. on their MacBooks and iPhones then you can bet your right arm on it that it will affect corporate buying decisions.

Zoom demonstrated really well how quickly companies were to switch their conferencing software if one worked consistently better than another.
I think most people with this particular need would prefer a portable hotspot, like the Netgear Nighthawk M5, but they are not cheap as you've found, any 5g android phone can be used in it's place, and so it probably a better alternative in many cases.

Since you're talking about USB, and battery drain, you can probably assume that the phone will use roughly the extra power that is required to do the 5G data transmission and relay to the USB host, and so, if you connect your phone to your computer via USB, and enable internet sharing via USB, you've achieved USB dongle behaviour ?

I honestly can't believe you're being downvoted when you have the most sensible answer here.

This matches fairly closely (my concept of) Received Pronunciation (which is basically a standardised kind of posh southern English from the early 20th century, still used in dictionaries). The differences are:

* There's no schwa, which the article discusses.

* I don't see the long vowel of "nurse" in the list. Presumably they wrote their pronunciation of that word with four letters. It's three phonemes in RP (of course there's no R pronounced).

* Three diphthongs (the sounds in "pier", "pair" and "poor") are missing. Presumably they wrote their pronunciations of those words with three letters in each (rather than P plus a diphthong, no R unless the following word starts with a vowel).

* They have a diphthong for the sound of "mule" so that word has three letters. I'd think of it as four phonemes: /mju:l/.

* A couple of RP diphthongs (the sounds in "ale" and "ope") are listed as long vowels. Fair enough: they're simple vowels in some English dialects.
More and more, the movie "Her" is starting to look like an accurate view of the future. Not as deep as GPT, but a nice overall UX IMO.

They're kidding right, there's no way that thing will be more useful than one of those flan models.

> The biggest problem the Young dead-end poses is that having failed to find any trace in it, one must begin to assume that Feynman got the year, surname, or both wrong.

Alternative hypothesis: Feynman knew who the individual was but, having not asked them if they objected to being used to illustrate his anecdote, chose to hide their identity with a pseudonym. In that case the reference wasn't to "Mr Q. Young", it was to "Mr Young Researcher".
Microsoft apps exist on Android and they're not forced to open links in Chrome on Android. If the user chooses, they can open on Microsoft Edge on Android.
The user can set their own browser preference - and Google doesn't force them.

Apple doesn't allow other browser engines but it's on them.

None of these bug tech corps are in the right here, but MS is being more anti-competitive than most.
In the case of the Boston cleaner, that seems to indicate the living costs can also drive salary. If nobody applies to work somewhere, the wages either go up or the job goes unfilled.

But that's not the point. :)

Was there solidarity among workers internationally? Yes. Because they're in the same class in society.
The answer is not having a PHB.

No non-unit-of-time estimation system will matter if there isn't buy-in from all levels. If the Directors/VPs/C-Suite etc view development in assembly line terms, then Xpoints = Ytime can never be avoided and yes, it just becomes an exercise in frustration.

To date I haven't found a good antidote other than avoiding workplaces that view estimations as exactimations of time.
Inertial Inflation
The equivalent apps on iOS aren't even allowed, Android allows other browsers (including their browser engines) just fine. Firefox is the only browser to bother though, as most of the chromium wrappers, including edge for android, are happy to just build a skin around the default web view.
Because one is a clearly declared policy that anyone can look up (even though you, or regulators of a certain country, disagree with it). I’m sure there’d be a lot less outrage if it was Microsoft’s policy that other rendering engines (or browsers) were disallowed, instead of being sneaky and trying to fake error messages, degrading user experiences, and the like.

Further, it could be argued that dynamic code execution, whether through an app downloading additional modules on the file system with the executable bit set, or in memory, with the mmap(PROT_EXEC) syscall opens up potential avenues for abuse, and alternative browsers are an unfortunate collateral damage in such a policy.

Regardless, no action can be justified because another entity is also doing it; it only serves to cheapen the discourse.

This was going through my head when I recently deleted 15 years of Facebook data. I am not the same person I was when I was 18.
Thank you! That's awesome!
Microsoft is actually the one reacting here. They were effectively forced to let the web be an open field by antitrust cases; Apple and Google took advantage of that to build two walled gardens, which ended up dwarfing MS's own empire. It was inevitable that, sooner or later, MS would have gone "If this behaviour is now allowed, why should we not do it too?"

This is just the result of normalizing monopolistic practices in the mobile world over 15 years. You can thank Apple and Google for that. If you want something different, call your representatives and ask them to let the hammer fall on all 3.
It's obviously corporate profits, and it's obviously always been corporate profits.

In a typical fully connected hidden layer, the neurons each need to compute the values of the all others in the previous layer, so you need all the data in one place. Obviously you can distribute the actual calculations which is what a GPU does, but distributing that over networked CPUs will be incredibly slow and require the whole thing to be loaded into memory on all instances.

My bet is on some kind of light based or analog electric accelerator PCIE card to be the next best thing for this sort of inference, since it should be able to calculate multiple layers at once. FPGAs also work but only for fixed weights.
Push it too far and people will just "lie flat", i.e. check out of the economy.
I agree, it's just "more of the same" for me and thankfully Edge isn't terrible like IE 6x etc.
