Believe it or not, it's a simple as averaging or adding the gradients of each training result before adding it to the model weights. The same thing happens when you train a model using batches of inputs.
Maybe I'm misunderstanding, but I don't really see the problem with the US system.

I can opt into a fixed 30 year mortgage, which I can exit at basically any point through a refinance or sale event.

I can't port my terms, but my rate is also fixed for up to 30 years unless I exit the arrangement. That's a safer deal for me than having 5 years of fixed interest and then being completely at the mercy of market rates.

At least for me - I'm fixed at 2.25% on a 20 year mortgage. Which was only possible because I exited a mortgage through a refinance to bring my rate from 4.4% to 2.25%. Right now if I refinanced, my rate would be much higher - so I will defer borrowing lots of money again.

Basically - The US system only feels weird when we experience particularly strong movement in interest rates. If the rate stabilizes at 7%, no one is going to bat an eye at getting a loan at 7%. It's only during this window where 18 months ago I could get 2.25% and now it's 7% that feels off. And even now - it's not off, there are just lots of folks in a position where their current mortgage is now a steal, and selling sucks since they lose the benefits.
A decade(s) of poor leadership in an era of fast moving technology will do that!
The main selling point of Nintendo was always their ip. They're better at making games then making consoles.

The only reason I have a switch is Nintendo ip otherwise everything else beats it hands down.

With aging Nintendo hardware now all of it can be emulated in a pc. I barely use it anymore.
Some sellers do this, yes.
> I cannot test new features and see if it makes users happy so they come back more often.

Users coming back more often does not imply that they are happy. There’s no substitute for actual user studies.
Say I initially created an account with my computer. If a passkey is tied to a device, what do I do when I want to login with my phone?
I hope that this shifts the Overton window toward discussion about banning facebook, twitter and instagram. They play a major role in exacerbating the divisions in the society and the rising suicide rate. Those domestic platforms do a better job at undermining the national security than any foreign force could dream of.
It can cut both ways, though. If your primary source for a crucial resource is a country that could potentially benefit from harming you, that can be strategically intolerable and eventually lead to finding an excuse to start a war.
You're not being fair, you're making excuses. I was responding to a post that literally said "better graphics make a game worse."

Bad writing and bad mechanics can absolutely ruin a game far beyond the ability of art to compensate -- but it's both absurd and cruel to blame this on art.
I am happy too. I left photoshop 20 years ago. I don't mind Krita as well but I am used to Gimp so this is my go to.
Seems to be a limitation of our modern times rather than the display technology. I'd hope to see PWM free displays in the future as our micro LEDs improve.
yes this is a known thing.
Yes. It also has little to do with the other point the parent of my comment mentioned (privacy), as they said.
Care to expand on "CockroachDB has the worst sales people that can’t even demonstrate their own benchmarks"

As a casual gamer, I really don’t get the obsession with FPS. I’ve never tracked it. And when frame rate drops, its only momentarily.
You don't have to blog to grow or manage your professional network.

Set a reminder, once a week, to look at your LinkedIn. Ping someone you actually know, just to say hi. This keeps you fresh in their minds as someone who does X, and is still alive.

Finally, if you want to expand your network, just ask these same people if they know anyone else doing X and then send them a hello.

Very low-effort and direct contact is 100x more powerful than a blog post anyway!
This was my first reaction, but the author won me over to his point as he went along.

I find the soil, surface, atmosphere analogy useful.

Also, I am one of those many many Python programmers who don’t know much about Python. Fascinating how you can be quite productive in tech, even so. Perhaps that’s the glory of Python. But for the record, nobody cares about the specifics of import, or anything else, unless it is likely to influence a problem or solution that we are grappling with.

I’m curious about Python… but I also have a job to do and a deadline.
The way the capsule machines actually work in-game is that the probabilities of getting each potential item are roughly equal, and you get around 10 "pulls" for an extremely common currency, where each capsule is from a predetermined pool per machine of around 4 items.

Which makes pulling nonrandom given the law of averages. It's effectively a joke.
> citizens generally have the right to run whatever software they want

Fortunately this isn't a restriction on citizens.

Instead, is a law regulating businesses.

We have all sorts of laws, regulating businesses, all the time.
I have been wanting to try DuckDB forever and finally took it for a spin recently. It is an amazing technology that I hope to utilize in production one day. Hat's off to the UI/UX team behind the website and docs. Love the aesthetic!
barely related, but it's funny to me how in anglosaxon countries you use the locution "quid pro quo", while here in italy we use "do ut des" to mean "a favor for a favor".

And that "qui pro quo" - in italy - means just a misunderstanding.

It's one of the funniest false friends that I've encountered while studying English

I didn't claim no other groups use state power to ban things. I'm pointing out that the idea that conservatives are uniquely and generally opposed to it is fantasy.
Groups have always had ways to define who was part of the group whether that group was political, religious, or a group of gamers. Calling it "marketing" sounds a little dismissive.
That is just plain evil.
How does a hypothetical data collection warrant a ban, while a real illegal data collection associated with illegal voter manipulation and illegal campaign financing, like the Cambridge Analytica—a British company—scandal, doesn’t?
Yeah. A lot of state and other local government are coming out with these policies as well. In Arizona we aren’t allowed to have TikTok on any government issued devices or on any device that accesses government resources (so personal device that you use to access work gmail or outlook).
"Constitutional" is what five members of the Supreme Court say it is. I'm sure they can come up with reasoning either way.

I suspect most neutral observers would say it's unconstitutional. But what they think does not matter.

What kind of events do you have in mind?
LEDs central wavelength changes with current. Some flashlight enthusiasts will not touch current regulation and prefer to use PWM because that means the color output does not change. From what I understand you can even use this effect to calibrate a diode laser to a specific wavelength(within reason).
I have all of my config in a flake, but I think both are fine. Not everyone will use Nix the same way. And it’s easy to see a progression path from using Nix with package installation from nix-env, to flakes, to NixOS. Some people might stop along that journey, but Nix might not have been a good fit for their usecase then anyways. It’s already way too hard to break into the ecosystem, no reason to make it harder.
Majora’s Mask is such an incredibly ambitious title. The game loop is just super cool. The aesthetic is this super interesting depressed melancholic cheerfulness of people coping with their impending death. OoT’s ambition is of course noteworthy in its own right, but damn Majora’s is just so cool.
Three will give me unlimited data on 4g/5g for £25 a month.

Between line rental and dsl costs you'd struggle to get it that cheap through a landline, even ignoring the fact you still need mobile data.
Surveillance is a deliberate action. If some incidental metadata is temporarily stored at HN and then evicted and deleted permanently in reasonable timeframes then it is not a surveillance. But as soon as it's analyzed, and/or specifically stored for prolonged periods, and/or unnecessary metadata is collected (not required for basic tech support and server administration), and/or linked to the user profiles more than needed to save and display our posts - then it's surveillance.

If I passed by your house and saw you walking your dog at 10:34 18/05/2023 and then promptly forgot about it, it is not a surveillance. If I set up a permanent observation post across the road from your door and will tail you daily everywhere you go - it's a surveillance. Even if I pinky promise that it is my own internal information and I would not share it, sell it, exchange it etc.
The problem is that pool is getting increasingly poisoned. Websites are increasingly hosting third-party analytics and advertising tracker scripts on their own sites in order to evade people who are trying to avoid them.

This is making it much less acceptable to allow first-party cookies and scripts.
There is always a housing or real estate crisis in many parts of the world. So what?

And yet, people still need tools and services to purchase real estate, so it is good that they are built and promoted so people find them and can use them. How does hiding the existence of these tools help anyone?

I'm not sure why a tech service company should concern themselves with catering to the emotional whims of people "triggered" after seeing software tools that enable real estate deals. These people don't sound like a valuable market segment.

And these people should follow the advice of Tyler the creator [0]

Expensive to maintain: dunno, but I pay <10€/month for mine, so it can't be that outrageous

Slow: you can watch HD video ever since 3G came out, and 4G reduced latency a lot

Doesn't scale: that's also a thing 4G apparently addressed. I've never run into capacity issues, just range issues

Depends heavily on weather: never noticed it depending even slightly on weather. I've tested this in heavy rain because I indeed heard that 'straalverbindingen' have issues with this ("beam connection", "directional radio"? Not sure how to translate that word) and because microwave ovens seem to work at 2.4 GHz and water adsorbs this very well, but it appeared to make no difference whatsoever for bandwidth or latency tests on mobile data

Malicious third parties interfering: never heard of this happening to an ordinary citizen, and if you're scared of your government putting up an IMSI catcher, maybe use a VPN
can you elaborate on this with some examples? some standards are important, right? the phone charger standardization seems useful, no? it would be ideal to have just a single wall socket/plug, no? similarly for EV supercharger connector. and so on. these are the things that get standardized at the EU level, as far as I know, so I'm very interested in counter-examples. thanks!

Nintendo first party games are reliably good. Bad Nintendo franchise games are the exception. After 30 years, and six after a huge hit, trust/prepurchase isn't absurd.

wrt xtensa, in theory risc-v ought to help them with lowering the power suck (it sure helped the gd32v) but i'm not sure it makes a difference in sleep

and of course for milliamps per mips, going to subthreshold switching like ambiq will make a much bigger difference than anything architectural
That line caught me as well - seems Montana at least has a designated enemy even if federal offices don’t state it that way.
However the DoD in their recent zero trust framework document basically pointed all the fingers at China as well.
Does it matter though? The primary purpose of using literate programming is expository. If Knuth feels that putting the includes at the start makes sense, then that's what he does. If you don't, then fine you move it to the end or the middle. That's the benefit of WEB (and WEB-derived systems). The presentation order is not dependent on the code order, it's dependent on what makes the most expository sense.

When I've written literate programs, I almost always shuffle long lists of includes to the end. They add little or no value at the top and distract from the material I want to present. It's also a simple cut and paste to move them back to the top if I wanted to. The only time I leave them at the top is if there's something actually informative about having them at the top, or it's a short program, or I've not actually finished working on it (a lot of my literate programs start as traditional "live in source files" programs that I slurp into org files).

Believed by whom? Because AFAIR this was never either the general public sentiment or consistent with BLS projections across the fields that CS feeds into.

Or, in other words, all "conservatives" don't necessarily agree on or believe the same things, and this varies by person and by region.

Like any political group, there's a wide variety of ideas. Religious right folks get lumped together with constitutional libertarians, but have very, very different ideas on the proper limits of legislation and government power.

And yes, there are both idiots and brilliant thinkers in the Republican party (which !== 'conservative'). There are very good ideas, and abominably stupid ones.

Much like any group of humans.
Nobody predicted this except pretty much everybody who thought about what the long-term effects of COVID would be on commercial real estate around mid-2020 or so.
If you're a gamer though you know there were problems with the console. The appeal was to a very casual audience and that's why it sold well.

If you are trying to cool something to <10K, I don't think it matters all that much what temperature you start at. Unless you start at space, which is already that cold (in shadow) but sending and operating stuff in space is hardly a cheap alternative.

But hey, clicking those "reject all" (when you can at all) does not guarantee a bad actor would comply with one's wishes either.

GDPR has had every bit correct _technically_ (needs zero dialog if one doesn't track), but it could only work if these actors were honest. It turns out it reveals how bad they are.

I suppose the only thing that could possibly work is legislation that would guarantee these bad actors to be sued to oblivion + burden of proof on them that they don't track.

"The solution came during the budget crisis of 2330, when the Brawndo corporation simply bought the Food and Drug Administration and the Federal Communications Commission, enabling them to say, do, and sell anything they wanted"

Rather than selling off real assets, the answer is for the executive to create new money themselves ("mint the coin") rather than continuing to be beholden to the Federal Reserve. As we saw with this last spate of pandemic price inflation, the Federal Reserve's technocratic mandate means they will have to adjust and take money out of circulation to compensate.
People hate Phantom hourglass because of the Ocean temple, despite the entire POINT of the ocean temple being improving your ability to skip most of it the next run. By the midpoint of the game, you can get to the midpoint of the ocean temple in a minute, without using any tricks. It's a speedrun integrated into a mainstream game that doesn't require stupid precision to be good at.

Meanwhile it had incredible music, looked really good, the combat was a great fusion of 2D simplicity with the openness and flexibility of Windwaker, the boss fights were fun and felt "Big", boat customization was great, the world was huge, writing directly on your map is a wonderful feature, the characters were lovely, I just don't understand the hate it gets.

I feel like a lot of people wanted it to be a 3D zelda game and that's why they were upset. 2D zeldas and 3D zeldas are basically two different franchises.
I think there’s a couple misunderstandings here.

The article is about course grades, not tests.

Also, accreditation is not based on reputation. MIT (and most other reputable colleges) are accredited by outside organizations, not via something fickle and subjective like reputation. E.g., an MIT engineering degree is accredited because it is vetted by ABET, not because of MITs reputation. Whether or not they meet ABET requirements lends itself to their reputation, not the other way around. (You can see this when colleges lose accreditation and their reputation suffers)
what? That makes no sense.

I'm not saying it's easy or perfect, but Wikipedia does tracker-less analytics, and yet still produces https://stats.wikimedia.org/#/all-projects .

We do use cookies for part of the analysis, but they're not unique user-tracking cookies. Instead there's one that simply tracks a self-reported datestamp on when the user last visited, which looks something like:

WMF-Last-Access=2023-01-01,Expires=Wed, 01 Feb 2023 12:00:00 GMT

(we send a Set-Cookie for this with the current datestamp only to the 1-day accuracy, which expires ~32 days after it's set (but rounded to 12-hour accuracy), and is replaced constantly).

There's another more-recent one we use that's explicitly about differential privacy, which send back info on the hashes of the 10 most recent URLs you've visited on the site, IIRC. None of them are unique tracker hashes for a given user, though.
Disclosure, I work for FusionAuth.

This is the primary issue with passkeys. When FusionAuth implemented WebAuthn/passkeys last year[0], we decided to have passkeys be a separate, additional login method, just like social sign-on or magic links, for this exact reason.

My understanding is that there is some work in the next version of WebAuthn[1] to allow sharing of passkeys across devices, addressing this user experience issue.

Very interesting. Would you mind mentioning which external table format you were using? Iceberg by any chance?

I wonder if there wasn't a middle-ground that could still utilize DuckDB or similar. You still rely on BQ to deliver the subset of data needed, and then rely on DuckDB to do the "last-mile" analytics: grouping, filtering, ordering, etc...?

From Wikipedia:

> Digital pulse-width modulation is well-suited to driving microLED displays. MicroLEDs experience a color shift as the current magnitude changes. Analog schemes change current to change brightness. With a digital pulse, only one current value is used for the on state. Thus, there is no color shift that occurs as brightness changes.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MicroLED
That may be the case, but a simple reversion to the mean may also be sufficient explanation. If everyone plays in a globalised (more or less) even playing field, then sooner or later they catch up and the initial lead will matter less.

I don't care about RMS, but what are the arbitrary jurisdictional issues. There's nothing arbitrary or jurisdictional about human trafficking, just because might be of legal age. I feel like you aren't getting the fundamental issue that people base their shock/outrage/whatever off of. It's totally separate from thinking that attacking RMS over it will result in anything - as that's nothing but a strawman. There's no reason why criticism of anyone has to be tied to creating whatever societal-wide change is desired. That's just facially absurd.

Early on, before climate science developed modern models, there were a few people who thought, based on historical timing of glacial periods, that we would eventually enter a new ice age. More recent data has shown that that is not likely as long as we are pushing the climate to ever warmer levels. Eventually, if that effect fades, we could go back into a glacial cycle again but that would probably take some thousands of years.
