The rather boring answer is 2/3. Logic seems to indicate that it will be a linear distribution where the change for only balls of the first picked Color is maximum and only balls of the other Color is zero, because it is no longer possible to only pick balls of the other Color. It must be linear because it needs to be symmetric and lead to a uniform distribution if added together.

After two picks, you have three cases. If you picked two different colored balls, the distribution should be a uniform distribution again, just like the initial state. The two other distribution should mirror eachother, and thus be linear again.

Maybe that something interesting happens with three picks. Or maybe, you always end up with linear distributions with tilted slopes. In that case it is rather boring.
We draw the line at violence, destruction, direct harm.

Look I get roads being closed is crap, and you could argue that if they don't allow emergency services through then they're doing direct harm.

A protest isn't supposed to be defined, it is outrage expressed. We're supposed to look and listen and think about how a big enough group of people to be disruptive felt the need.

It isn't tolerated, that's the point.

Note: Blocking roads is directly addressed in Section 137 of the Highways Act 1980 which prevents you from ‘wilfully obstructing the free passage along a highway without lawful authority or excuse’. This police power is often used to remove demonstrators who are standing outside buildings, sitting down blockading entrances or roads and in many public order situations.

The reason for wine is that windows has a dominating market position and hence you often have to use some software that is windows-only. For OSX you might want to, but there is no such dire need.
Oh, this is why this news felt very old and wrong. the "0.01 QPS" number for ripgrep is just a on-paper math, not an actual performance number from a running system.

Two very nice additions to the REPL that weren't mentioned in the highlights:

* `Alt-e` now opens the current input in an editor. The content (if modified) will be executed upon exiting the editor

* A "numbered prompt" mode which prints numbers for each input and output and stores evaluated results in Out can be activated with REPL.numbered_prompt!() (basically `In[3]` `Out[3]` markers like in Mathematica/Jupyter).
First, a typo "jn" for in.

Second, the Federal Reserve is not a cabal, let alone a shadowy one.

Third, it's existence is to ameliorate recessions. Your great-great grandparents, if in the US at the time, were very much in favor of it.

Fourth, the US doesn't allow for sovereign banks, so a private Federal Reserve is already the classical liberal/libertarian solution (anarcho-capitalists are typically the ones calling for abolishing the Federal Reserve/returning to commodity as a standard).

Fifth, a lender of last resort is a fantastic backstop allowing more investment and risk taking, which has pushed the US' investment dominance for over a century.

In the UK, though the page I linked is a bit misleading:

Section 14 of the Public Order Act: - Public Assemblies
"As with Section 12, the senior officer may impose conditions on public assemblies, which he considers are reasonably necessary to prevent serious public disorder etc. Unlike Section 12, the conditions he may reasonably impose are in this case limited to specifying:
a) the numbers of people who may take part,
b) the location of the assembly, and
c) its maximum duration.

An assembly is defined by Section 16 of the Act as consisting of two people or more"

In effect, the police can limit the size, location and duration of an assembly at their discretion. That is, they can end it, make it so small it doesn't matter or move it to somewhere it doesn't matter.

Effective assembly control.
Evolution is a theory that is parsimonious to the data at hand. We proved speciation in a lab. As you and I are part of nature, their speciation is natural even if at our will. We isolated a species long enough that they could no longer mate, subjected to separation of environments. Ergo, separation of populations leads to speciation. QED.

But if you decide that only random events cause the effect you're looking for, first restate your hypothesis as such then do your homework on a very well studied field.

Why a restated hypothesis? Because it is intellectually honest to say your first hypothesis is completely answered by the fruit fly experimentation. There is no clear distinction between speciation from random events causing separation and researchers doing so in a laboratory.

In this article, I share some opinions on how things could work out in the mid-term. A new wave of development tools based on LLMs will significantly increase our productivity and acceptable code quality.

I believe that our role as engineers might fade away from code and require us to strengthen the other aspects of software engineering.

What do you think?
I'm sure 90%+ cases are legitimate concerns and even handed enforcement.

The issue is the legislation doesn't specify those things and just allows control of protests for basically any reason at the discretion of the police.

The police are not equipped to make those societal decisions IMHO, and the legislation is far far too loose.

Incidentally, the times when the legislation is abused tends to be the times when it matters greatly that it isn't.
I think I have seen that some users connect AVB capable devices (e.g. from Presonus or Motu) to the USB port of iPads and got full connectivity to the other studio setup via AVB networking. Some AVB devices are quite affordably nowadays. That would also allow for great audio routing setups in a gig I assume

There's a discourse clash.

AT and Bluesky are unfinished. Not ready for primetime. It's not fair to compare it to mature, well-developed stuff with W3C specs and millions of active users on thousands of servers with numerous popular forks.

But, also, everyone who hates Mastodon and spent the last months-years complaining about it is treating your project like the promised land that will lead them into the Twitterless future, somehow having gotten the impression that it's finished and ready to scale.

I think most critiques of Bluesky/AT are actually responding to this even if the authors don't realize it. They're frustrated at the discourse, the potshots, and the noise from these people.

Not sure if correlated. In Ruby I do a mix of REPL/console, tests and step-through debugging. When using Python, I always use a notebook as a scratchpad - to me it's a REPL but easier to keep tidy. The notebook can be good docs of how things work too, a complement to tests-as-docs as it's easy to show in different (real) contexts.

I sorely miss being able to do this when working on frontend, have tried setting up node console to import files but React just makes it very easy to couple everything. This leaves me with tests as the easiest way to code outside of a view (which has too much friction for playing around). Hot reloading is great but iterating logic in isolation is way harder without a REPL.
For iOS, I placed a syncthing folder inside my iCloud directory and it works fairly well.

My MacBook, an always-on Pi, and a few other boxes run syncthing for a directory full of Markdown files that I use with Notational Velocity[0] on Mac and 1Writer[1] (highly recommended!) on iOS. Using it this way for a couple years and it works well, occasionally go through and diff the sync conflict files that slowly accumulate, small hassle that is worth the squeeze IMO.

Installed this yesterday (from Linux mint), all seemed to go well, after the install "restart firefox" which I clicked, then things got really slow, running top showed a load of 120 (on a 4 CPU machine!), locked the machine pretty hard, 10 minutes later a "firefox has crashed" dialogue, which I clicked only to find another underneath, then another, then another. Around 20 in all.

Not your finest moment Firefox...
Wow, I did not know about that!

Still, it doesn't show the rest of the toots, so content posted on Mastodon is still not readable without javascript. Which is ridiculous, we have medium, twitter, facebook, reddit etc, and they decided to publish somewhere not readable without javascript.
It'll be a generation before people can once again admit there is a difference between men and women. If we admit men and women are different its the same a direct attack on much of the LGBT community.

I think a lot more people use VR than they realize, the goal post just continually moves towards higher degrees of immersion. Most people use some map navigation system these days in their phones as well as all sorts of other info they access related to spatial information on their phones anymore.

VR to many increasingly means full on HMDs, haptics, and full on sensory immersion. People tend to only use parts of these from sounds to visuals at a time because when used in conjunction, current degrees of shortcomings make the experiences less than ideal.

I use a lot of VR aspects regularly in general data exploration, though I tend not to need so much in the form of HMD and stereoscopic rendering. Usually something semi-immersive visually gets me most of what I want.

To me, the science and engineering for most the hardware just isn't there yet to make a fully enjoyable experience but I think that means we should continue pushing on those developments because someday they will be and highly immersive VR will be fantastic (and perhaps dystopian depending on how it's used).
Technique will matter more. The book Chi Running is a great start. It's an unfortunate title but the content is great. I recommended it to a friend years ago that had broken his back and was unable to complete the running part to enter the police academy. I thought he was going to burst into tears when he thanked me after being able to complete a lap on the local track.

I've heard Pose Running is another good system.

Good luck!!
I complain about the content (which is text) being not available. I couldn't care less about the web-application. In general too, but especially here, where people are supposed to share mostly text each other. (We can share web-applications as well, and you won't find me complain there.)

At this point I could just flag every mastodon content, since it is not available. Good idea, I will just do that.
I don't use notebooks much, but pdb is available in them
Personally, I use notebooks to do exploratory data analysis and to get model training configured. Any large-scale model training event is converted to a script, and nothing production-facing is in a notebook.
I'd imagine then that 11,000 years of traditional rice farming in the Yangtze River Valley must have really sucked the life from the soil and there's barely another millennium or two left there.

Traditional farming in the UK has had a run of a few thousand years on land that isn't flood plains ..

Perhaps you're thinking of more modern farming practices?

can you elaborate why you think the comment about privilege is wrong, rather than emphasizing that you don't like that the word was used?

> Not everyone is LGBT+, ethnic minority

yes, but some are, and ignoring concerns which apply to them because you're not personally affected by the concerns is, well, privileged - you literally have the privilege of not having to worry about right-wingers driving a car into you only because you're the wrong ethnicity or nationality, like one just did in Texas

if you feel shame as a result of this, look inward and ask why, because nobody here is shaming you for simply being privileged

GPT-4 is not alive or anything like that but it is intelligent. And it's approximately human level now.

Computer hardware historically improves exponentially.

We should anticipate a system that thinks 100 times faster than a human in a few years or less. This is barely even speculative. Two orders of magnitude performance improvement has been achieved many, many times over in the history of computing. This is a very specific application and there is still probably relatively low hanging fruit for optimizing it with hardware and software customization. New compute-in-memory paradigms are coming soon.

The problem with hyperspeed GPT is that in an environment where companies and countries are competing, there is a strong incentive to give the AI very broad goals. Because having it wait a day for the humans to make decisions would mean 100 days of progress made by competitors (if it is at that speed). The human operators are effectively frozen relative to the activity of this speed of agent. They become speculators on the sidelines for the most part.

Also, you can't prevent people from instructing it to pursue its own selfish goals or having self-preservation or reproductive (copying code/model weights) goals. These will be open source models.

I think the only answer is that you ban the manufacture of AI hardware that exceeds a certain level of performance relative to humans. Also immediately start strongly discouraging people from simulating lifelike qualities in intelligent digital systems.
Maybe there should be a diagram to show the processes in the right
True. We call it 'Android' now, or 'ChromeOS'.

Some argue we should acknowledge the important historical contribution made by the Linux project to the most widely used operating system in the world, but others argue that Linux is only a small component in a larger system, especially when they count lines of code, so it does not merit mention.

(Above is a paraphrase of the now old argument why GNU did or did not merit mention in names of Linux-based operating systems. Now we have reached the point where Linux doesn't get a mention either).
> These are landowners who farm as a tax dodge

This is exactly what it is here in NJ. They’re called ‘fake farmers’ here, and a quick google search will show you they cost the state tens of millions in lost tax revenue per year. Its all the usual suspects too, you know, the kind of celebrities that lecture you on giving and their politics. Those quaint farm stands are just a ruse to keep their tax bills to a minimum on >5 acres if expensive land in wealthy counties.

As someone who mostly frequents like, two, different running routes, I tend to agree.

If you at all get into a bit of nature, it is so much more varied than the daily route between the computer and coffee machine at home for example.

I think people misses that comparison.
It is a fair amount of work even with forest gardens (I grew up in a permaculture project that began a few years before I was born). I think the economics are only appealing to the rational actor if the labour displaces time spent in the gym rather than the office.

Which suits my lifestyle just fine, but if you don't enjoy gardening in your free time it's probably better to deliver for ubereats on a bicycle or something.

Sure, but for getting shit done, you can always use nested VMs or SSH into a real linux machine if need be. Regardless, the fact that you can run an unspecified amount of Linux VMs yet macOS VMs are limited to 2 is even more egregious. It's far cheaper to get Linux VMs anywhere than macOS VMs.
A critique written in such an unprofessional way should be ignored. It isn't worthy of discussion.
Theaters are in a bad spot and I think they are doomed as an industry unless as boutique specialty theaters like LA’s New Beverly [0] as I don’t think the experience is worth the cost.

My favorite local theater was $6 for a Sunday morning showing ($11 for regular). It was probably 50 years old and I think everything in it was maybe as recent as the 80s or 90s. The staff were super friendly and seemed to love movies. While only 3-6 for a 10 theater cinema they would bake their own cookies and brownies and dress up in homemade costumes. A mix of teenagers and 50+ people.

They recently “upgraded” and now tickets are $10.50 ($21 for a regular ticket). The upgrade means the theaters now have fake leather power recliners that are actually less comfortable.

I go see fewer movies now. And I can’t help but wonder “what bank loaned them this money, they’re never getting it back.”

I don’t think movie tickets for $20 can compete with concerts ($20-infinity), major league sports ($15-200), plays, and other activities. To take my family to the movies is now $200 after tickets and popcorn and I can go to a major league soccer game for the same amount that includes parking, tickets, hot dogs, and beer. As long as I don’t want to see a specific game.

I used to see 3-5 movies a month, now I see 3-5 per year. I’m happy having a similar experience at home via streaming (worse picture, no community, but much more convenient).

I feel for the theater owners and employees as I’m sure it’s expensive. But it’s expensive to run a blacksmith and it’s expensive to telephone switchboard. It’s not that those things don’t produce value, they do. It’s that their value comes nowhere near their cost when compared to substitutes.
