There is the official exchange rate set by the government and a number of other rates for various purposes.

The two of relevance to someone visiting from the US on vacation are the "blue dollar" (a black market exchange rate that's basically double the official rate) and the MEP rate (exchange rate used by some, but not all, purchases on American credit cards).

This kind of campaign is overblown.

They mention the topic of the Gaza flotilla raid in the video. If you read the actual article on this topic, it's pretty balanced, and mentions in the introduction that Israel was condemned by the UN Human Rights Council and their use of force was called excessive and unreasonable. Hardly a Zionist propaganda piece.
A neverending stream of dynamic content based on audience interaction. It's way more entertaining than I anticipated. This should also be fairly easy to monetize - either by having people donate for interaction or by including ads.

This definitely feels like the case in my field. Nothing good goes to journals.
HP has separate costs for ink/toner cartridges. $4/mo for 100 pages.

Aside from that, they cover shipping and recycling of old cartridges, and they include color/photo printing in that prices (not sure if you that's relevant for toner though? not a printer expert.)

$2/mo for 50 pages is a pretty great deal, as someone who seldom prints.
What do we do with this now? Feed it to the AI?
I’ve always been a fan of heterogeneous teams. They are a challenge to manage, but deliver great results.
Here's one take: good developers learn fast, bad developers learn slow. Software is one of the fastest moving fields, so it takes a quick mind to keep up. Clearly, everyone needs some basic knowledge to program, and equally clearly, there will be gaps in every developer's knowledge. When needed, we fill the gaps as quickly as possible. If someone can learn 10x as fast, maybe they only need 1/10th the knowledge base.
Sabine argues the data, in good(ish) faith, but she does carry a chip on her shoulder.

Peterson does not argue data - he suggests analogies and then holds those analogies as iron-clad transitive relationships to argue his preconceived position.
I think that comes in cycles.

We have peak micro-managements doctrines, then "just look at the big picture" reaction, then it stagnates in the middle, to go back to one extreme or the other. I think the Agile trend will go away, and there's some companies out of it already, I just don't expect this current trend to last for a half-century either.
That's one of the more enjoyable trailers I've seen.

US inflation got to 14% in 1980 and people cried bloody murder. It hasn't gotten that bad yet this time around, but I don't think there is much appetite for hyper inflation in the USA, let alone a repeat of the 70s.
I remember there being several drills on "scanning," which they defined as looking for a word or phrase on a page. I got very quick at that with practice, and those drills have helped me be able to flip back and forth in books. I can quickly scan a page to find and refer to a paragraph I sort of recall but don't really remember. And interestingly, I find it extremely difficult to do the same in eBooks. e.g., my brain is saying, "Go find the short paragraph near the top of the right page, early in the book, that has a bunch of acronyms in it"... and it's impossible to do in an ebook.

> This theoretical exploration offers perspective that is distinct from the literature which attributes the success of low-precision neural networks to its regularization effect

They only tease in the abstract what their "perspective" is, defining only by what it is not. I can't see it in the conclusion either. Unfortunately not up for reading through their formalisation to try and understand the point.

I have a denoising autoencoder that manages to ridiculously overfit a complex data set despite bottlenecking on a tiny set of neurons, which I attribute to it managing to exploit all the bits of precision within the bottleneck to effectively make it hold far more information than you would naively think. So I'm sceptical if they are saying this is not a real effect.
I don't think them not asking for returned cartridges is much an indicator of value. How would it be worthwhile? Even Amazon destroys a large amount of returned merchandise, although I'm struggling to find a reputable source for that claim
I've worked on two teams that did Agile this way. Both were the most productive and impactful teams I've ever worked on.

Unfortunately, part of those team's success was their ability to work mostly unblocked by the rest of the org. Once process had to accommodate other people's timelines and turn-around expectations, that all went out the window.

Most organizations seem to much prefer optimizing for short-turn around time over sustained throughput.
I don't see where this interpretation comes from. One of their 6 principles is:

"5. Disseminate GWAS findings to the general public"

the 4th point is the only one that concerns limiting usage, and that clearly suggests researchers may seek to to prevent commercial use of their results unless the commercial use is vetted and useful.

OSTEP is what made it _finally_ click for me, but I think the online demo is great because of the interactivity. Both have their place!
I've never seen it used in that kind of crude way. It is generally used when someone constantly is slow to respond or does not meet agreed milestones. In business, being late is much more noticeable in a negative way than being on the spectrum.
> “Pre-war Russia” would have been clearer. They consider Crimea as Russian as Moscow and would respond accordingly to a serious attack. They are apparently more pragmatic about the new territories.

Considering that the Crimean bridge exploded, and that many airbases and other military facilities in Crimea keep exploding with no consequence, I take that as Russia would do nothing if Ukraine hit Moscow itself?.

There’s also the multiple attacks that have taken place against Russia proper using either drones helicopters or missiles and nothing happened again.

> There’s a reason they hide the work of SBU, GUR and also certain Western countries under monikers like “Russian Volunteer Corps”.

There are no western countries fighting for Ukraine at this moment just volunteers.

It’s also par for the course to hide things like intelligence activities behind not the regular army, like Russia did in 2014.

> And why these attacks are, all things considered, rare and their effect negligible. We might, however, see significantly more of that in the near future and Russia could finally be forced to respond overtly.

Sure they are negligible mostly but they have also take a lot of aircraft including strategic TU bombers, this outside the fact pro Ukrainian forces currently occupy part of Belgorod at the moment.

Still no overt response.
They're datacenter GPUs so you need special power supplies and an adapter to connect it to a regular motherboard.
There are so many factors that it's difficult to sort them out. Back when I attended conferences (have only been to one since Covid) I choose to attend talks that I'm interested in and skip those that are less interesting. Back when I was publishing, if there were another author working on the same problem as me for sure I would try to attend their talk and would probably end up citing it in a future paper.
I remember being at a small company in the late 90s. We hired a new engineer and he used AIM. The boss was furious that the new guy was spending his time on the clock chatting with friends (and possibly leaking company secrets to people at other companies!). They forbid him to use it, so he would log into it every morning and set his status to some childish message about how his employer wouldn’t allow him to use it during business hours.

I remember thinking it was odd that the engineer would think it was OK to be chatting with friends while he was supposed to be working, but I also thought it was odd that the boss was so pissed off about it. It’s not like we didn’t (physically, IRL) chat among ourselves about non-work stuff, too. As long as we were getting our work done, who cares? Now everyone has chat and social media on every device, include their own that they bring with them anywhere, including work.

I also remember that when I was a kid, I was never supposed to interrupt my father at work by calling him, unless it was an absolute real emergency, like the house burning down. Times have changed!
I was thinking the same. I’m guessing that originally the lack of a bounds check was for efficiency’s sake (save a CPU cycle or two) and they chose not to update it assuming people would use the newer API.
I host Mumble/Murmur for multiuser VoIP as it’s super lightweight and the noise cancelling + mute options are convenient. For 1-on-1 calls, I just use XMPP (Prosody) with TURN (coturn) and it’s handled video just fine. I’ve not had a reason to introduce anything heavier.

What is "E2E" is a bit ambiguous. Server-Client is a sort of end-to-end in network context. Maybe nowadays people say E2E for between personal device encryption?
...yes, performance will drop when your set of active data exceeds available memory and your system needs to reference slower storage. I assume this would apply to anything.
> The article's narrative is like the people in Iraq, Afghanistan, Syria, Yemen and Pakistan would be better off if US didn't intervene.

What would be your opinion if another country decided to invade the USA because they think they can put a better government? Let's say, Europe decides to invade USA and enforce a minimal 15 days paid holidays per year.

Damn. Early in my college years I took a course from a lecturer who made us buy not one but two useless books of his (each on its fifth edition or so). The bookstore was owned and operated by the college, so I didn't even bother to complain.
Every government wants to ban E2E encryption, but most know that it isn't feasible to do so.
For everyone calling publishing a "racket": I'm about to publish a textbook for grad students in the social sciences with a major publisher. It will teach them the business side of social impact: planning, raising money, running a board, etc. It is all very badly needed, and I've spent 20 years of extreme hard work learning the details and another 5 years writing... this one book. My publisher, a top academic house, is giving me extensive editorial and layout help at no charge to me. We are going to charge $50, which even if I sell thousands of copies, will be pennies on the hour for everyone.... This is a rip-off?

Either that, or we could reorganize public schools to get back on track as to what their purpose actually is.

I don't want crazy religious idea being taught, I don't want people's opinions about how there are 57 genders being taught and I don't want a teacher or a school district trying to instill their chosen value system on my child. I want them to learn how to read. I want them to learn how to write. I want them to learn how to add and subtract. Frankly, considering how miserably school systems are failing to teach kids basic literacy, they should be embarrassed to even discuss their cultural, religious and/or political agenda (even when they insist that their agenda isn't cultural, religious and/or political).

When I was in school ~40 years ago, with 3 or 4 exceptions out of a class of ~100, every child could read, write and do math at or near grade level. I didn't know a single thing about the personal lives of any of my teachers, whether they were married, had kids, and certainly not what their sexual orientation was. It didn't matter - because they were there to teach academic subjects! Nor did any of my teachers know (or concern themselves with) my personal life, my sexual orientation or anything else aside from my academic performance in the subject they were teaching. There are a lot of reasonable, normal people who just want schools to become centers of academic learning again instead of another battleground in the cultural war.

I've hit the point where nearly all content on Reddit and HN feels repetitive, outside a few novel articles.

The same trends and style of articles tend to pop up over and over and over. Eventually, most of them just don't resonate. They may be _amazing_ articles, but they'll just be forgotten in my sea of other work if they they're not directly relevant to what I'm working on right now.

Given a 2021 cutoff, I'm not surprised that rust and Nix are too new for it to do well with. I've been using it to avoid actually learning what manifest.json looks like for Chrome extensions.

RIM could have had a second act, potentially, by being SMS 2.0 (as mentioned in this article[0] they tried to sell BBM to carriers as SMS 2.0), and I'm not sure how they lost out on this, as Google did this with RCS many years later. I think if they had done it, it would have forced better interop with Apple (iMessage was still newish and they may have been in a situation to be further pressured longer to support standard communication protocols).

There was a longform article about RIM's attempt to become the "BBM" company but I can't for the life of me find it, it was by a major tech publication (The Verge I think, but I tried searching their archives and no dice)

I couldnt disagree more with your second paragraph.

I have a partner who has been prescribed Ketamine for the last 3 years. I firmly believe that the drugs ability to rebuild neural pathways and thus work around / resolve damage to be the only reason why partner is still alive today, and is now ready to return to work after so many years and such a brutal road.

In Australia, being prescribed Ketamine is very difficult, and thus very uncommon. While I do not believe it should be opened up to everyone, my experience over the last few years makes me a massive fan of the drug for specific situations.
It would be great. But last I checked the youngsters are just about the biggest consumers I've ever seen. Anecdotal, sure, but nevertheless buying Tesla and things like that still doesn't make anyone an environmentalist. But doing real changes like buying mostly used goods (and trying to avoid buying things in the first place) makes you social outcast so I try not to be too hard on people, especially youngsters. Going with the masses is the easiest way to handle life. Thus, the changes really must be forced upon us by regulation, so that there is no shame choosing the "poor people thing".

It is of utmost importance that whatever those regulations would be, you shouldn't be able to buy your way out of them. Things like a personal consuming limit for "bad thing" X that is absolute and there is no way around to buy yourself more. Dystopian, sure, and in general I'm not even a fan of big government.

at least for iPhone, a fingerprint alone is not enough. it has to "look like a finger" to the sensor.
Bruce Schneier made a similar point in his book, “Secrets and Lies: Digital Security in a Networked World“. Quote:

Society needs defectors. Groups benefit from the fact that some members do not follow the group norms. These are the outliers: the people who resist popular opinion for moral or other reasons. These are the people who invent new business models by copying and distributing music, movies, and books on the Internet. These are people like Copernicus and Galileo, who challenged official Church dogma on astronomy. These are the people who—to take a recent example—disrupt energy auctions to protest government responsibility for climate change. They're also people living on the edge of society: squatters, survivalists, artists, cults, communes, hermits, and those who live off the grid or off the land. In 2011, U.S. Marine Dakota Meyer received the Medal of Honor for saving three dozen of his comrades who were under enemy fire. The thing is, he disobeyed orders in order to do so.

I had an idea, perhaps crackpot, that will maybe catch fire for you too. What if the graph structure of the natural language parse tree was directly reflected in the literal biological neural network.

The case for a code of conduct for AI in healthcare
The politicians saying they need to curb CSAM, mean exactly what they say they mean. The problem is exactly as big as they say it is. That doesn't make their desired angle of attack a good idea, but if you make predictions based on the assumption they mean something completely different and want to spy on people, or that they're being influenced by people who do, you're going to predict wrong. There's a reason many of them are fixated on trying to fingerprint CSAM content out of encrypted messages without decrypting them, something that would not enable the government spying everyone seems convinced it's really for.
