Maybe there is business for developing the missing features. I would pay for that.

But there is also a requirement for certifying that the data of the software can't be altered, and you are not allowed to certify yourself. This is the bad catch 21 situation.
Even if it was possible to ensure that data can't be modified on your computer, something like android protected storage, I guess most people would not like that because if you use open source it is to have control over your machine.

So the only solution is the "cloud"/hosted solution by a provider, but again, if you use open source in the first place, probably it is because you don't want some external people to have control over your data.
You get jobs that you wouldn't have gotten had you not had a college degree. (You can't ever know what would've happened without the degree -- but over the years there's times were you do indeed get the job instead of being passed over, because of the degree...)

DoorDash is one of the most popular food delivery services in the US. However, according to a new lawsuit, the company charges iPhone users more than Android users for the exact same orders. Could there be some truth to this?

The plaintiffs argue, among other things, that DoorDash employs certain unclear fees for “delivery” or “extra distance delivery” as a way to conceal the higher prices that are subsequently charged to iPhone users.

The lawsuit’s authors provide evidence to support these claims, citing several examples where they placed identical orders from the same restaurant to the same location at the same time. Some of their findings are truly startling. The fee for extra distance delivery was consistently charged only on iPhones, even though the orders were placed to the same location from the same restaurant.
A feeling can certainly be represented as information, but it's a leap to say it is information.

Sensations are not just information. A number is information. There's something that it's like to experience a sensation. There's nothing that it's like to be a number.

Restaurants get the online reservation thing right, usually. With other local small businesses, it's very hit or miss and you are better off calling unless you know for sure their online system actually works.

I made an optometrist appointment online recently. Their online calendar showed which dates and times were available, so I picked the closest one which was still a few weeks out. I got an email immediately after and a text message confirmation the day before. When I went in at the correct day and time, the receptionist told me I wasn't anywhere in their system and they had no idea there was even an online appointment form. (Yes it was the correct business and they only had one location.)

My guess is that they recently paid for a website which included online scheduling and integration but someone forgot to flip the switch that sent the appointment to their scheduler.
but intuit started it (I think, they bought the company behind Argo overall, but Argo CD came out after the acquisition). Being a place for companies to host projects they started but want to share is kinda CNCFs thing after all.
I’ve lived near two different fire stations, it wasn’t a big deal. They only leave with the sirens on in big emergencies, a couple of times a year. Far more disturbing was the sound of trucks and motorbikes with modified exhausts.
At any speed you'd do on a road, even on suburban back roads tyre noise can match or exceed engine noise.
Yes, air tightness is part of the problem, but if that's the only tool used, sound is still going to get through. Double walls help dramatically.
Neither. I can already schedule in other barbershops, make government appointments, book hotels, purchase food, order guitars online, and several other things, all online and without a login/password. Not anonymous, just doesn't involve an account and a password.

I'd like to do this there, too. I sorta already do: I use "hide my password" for their website and delete it after the appointment.
Your comment can be turned on its head. It’s exactly because Apple ended up making a mouse that can’t be charged during use that their contribution to VR are vital: they think different.

Their mouse has a great battery life that requires charging it sparingly. Your Mac tells you when it needs charging.

They thought about the mouse charging problem. They arrived at different answers than the rest of the industry.
When Reuters is telling you how stupid an investment is you know it's time to get in. This is the literal inverse of the shoeshine boy.

If there is societal pressure to not invest in something it is, by definition, undervalued.
I'm a fan of RSpec and any BDD (Behavioral Driven Development) type of framework. You are correct that they all do the same thing, but for me everything boils down to which one provides the quickest understanding of the code by the reader.

There's another testing library in Ruby that is called minitest. The syntax is different, for example you would write "assert_equal num1, numb2". My problem with this is that you don't know which is the expected vs the actual values. Is it the first or second argument? On the otherhand, my framework of choice, RSpec would write this as "expect(num1).to eq(numb2)". The syntactic sugar alone makes this easier to understand.
Fascinating to be honest.
My dude it’s not my fault if you don’t understand the concept of asking follow up questions for clarification. This isn’t like a Google search. The way you retrieve knowledge is different

There is no light-weight threading concept in standard C/C++, and the cost of one OS thread is at least 1Mb (stack) + 4Kb (tls) reserved memory (at least by default, on modern Windows), so for 1m threads that will be 1Tb of RAM :)

It depends, rolling noise is more important at high speed, but engine noise is more important at slow speeds. If you are next to a highway, it probably won't make a difference, but if you live in a city with a lot of slow traffic, it will.

Also, mopeds, even unmodified ones are way too loud, especially for the speed they are going.
My context: Backend Java/Kotlin dev. Don't really need any fancy test framework, JUnit 5 is absolutely fine for executing the tests. But I do use a bunch of additional tools and libraries.

testcontainers so I can write proper integration tests instead of mocking dependencies away.

AssertJ for fancy assertions with great failure messages.

Mockito for the rare mocking/spy usage.

Awaitility for the rare async/timing based test.

When there is a Frontend (templated or SPA, doesn't matter), I like writing the tests with Selenide assertions and using its Selenium integration to run against a large array of browsers + variants (Chrome, FF, Mobile etc) launched via testcontainers.
Sensation could come from computation. It also might not come from computation. We don't know.
There are some interesting lines of discussion around near death experiences (NDEs) where the individual at hand supposedly did not have brain activity but was conscious.

I can't speak to the veracity of claims, but that and the surrounding area do have some people who seemed to be pretty woo-resistant go through this transformative experience, then spend time and energy trying to convince people of its existence. It is intriguing on that level alone and I've certainly thought some about it.

Zyrtec and most of its peers have a dose tuned at the edge of what can be called 'non-drowsy'. Taking more is likely to induce sleepiness, which isn't going to help.

I have not read the article but I would love to have a real debate with a materialist. All anti-meterial models will skew sightly mystical so if you have zero appetite for that I won’t bother. But I’d like to try to change your mind if you’re interested.

I’ll start: Consciousness has nothing to do with any sort of processing. Processing is “dead” in the sense of a desktop calculator. Consciousness is the “living” part of your experience - that which experiences. Any process is the content of experience, not the subject.

I’ll stop here for now.

We already have noise ordinances but police don’t enforce them.

It is really hard to prove a person was making a noise I guess. Maybe with the right motivation they could just make certain vehicle modifications entirely illegal. Loud cars and leaf blowers are the bane of my existence.
That's where I am. Our 2017 QB desktop was getting to the point where it felt likely to stop working so I switched to GnuCash. However, I am worried about another user learning it and being able to do it right. I do a lot of babysitting of the program as it is.

QB online would be too expensive. Xero might work. The fact that entering bills is an "advanced feature" in most packages gives me pause.

I moved to the Irish countryside for the quiet.

On the other hand, I found my former situation with the Swiss regulations around noise, including mandated, legally-backed, police-enforced quiet from 12:00-13:00, 22:00-07:00 M-Sa and the entirety of Sunday a source of continual angst. (Of course, the church bells which bang every 15 minutes 7x24 are exempted from these strictures.)

On balance, I think I'd rather take the risk of having a neighbor running a chainsaw any time he wants over getting a knock from the cops because some busybody decided hoovering up broken glass on a Sunday afternoon was sufficiently verboten to necessitate involving the authorities.
Pytest is pretty nice, especially when you get it configured with a bunch of plugins for the libraries/framework you're using, and write your own stack of injectors to test your application in different ways. The very lightweight dependency injection is a joy to use once you get used to it. Add in nice output formatting from the built in asserts, and plugins like pytest-randomly that encourage good test writing, and it's really a great setup for almost all Python testing needs. I'd even suggest that it's a great setup for non-Python testing if you want automation around running binaries that you're treating as a black box.
I wonder if they’re going to squeeze the vice a bit and then offer the opportunity to refinance in RMB as part of their larger strategy of de-dollarizing the world economy.

The main barrier I see is they’d have to become willing to run an ongoing current account deficit to replace the dollar, which is a totally alien strategy up until now so far as I can tell.
Except that the Wright brothers would never have pursued powered flight without the prior pioneering example of Otto Lilienthal:

"Of all the men who attacked the flying problem in the 19th century, Otto Lilienthal was easily the most important. ... It is true that attempts at gliding had been made hundreds of years before him, and that in the nineteenth century, Cayley, Spencer, Wenham, Mouillard, and many others were reported to have made feeble attempts to glide, but their failures were so complete that nothing of value resulted." ~ Wilbur Wright, 1912

Xiaomi makes it very easy to unlock the bootloader and install a custom ROM. Of course you should trust the ROM makers and learning how to flash every device takes a little bit of time but I think is worth it.

Like he argues that there's a big difference between software running on hardware and our brains, in that the neurons are dynamic, bathed in chemicals etc while software doesn't interact with the hardware in any substantial way (ie doesn't physically change it).

This is true, but to me it seems much more like optimizations rather than a truly fundamental difference. Surely you could model a neuron in software with non-trivial internal state and which also responds differently based on "ambient parameters" (ala bathed in chemicals).

It would be much harder to train, at least using the methods we do now, but I fail to see a fundamental difference.

As someone with tinnitus and hyperacusis I think about this often. A bus or truck dumping its air brakes right next to you, incredibly loud sirens, squeaky breaks that pierce the soul. I feel fairly certain you could make the case that many sounds we have grown to just accept in society are in fact at dangerous decibel levels.
Curious how this will look when they get to implementations with less expressive type systems. Typescript & Rust are particularly good. Making a usable library for this in golang won't be easy.

And now that I think about it, Protobuf/Thrift/etc type tools are heavily constrained by finding lowest-common-demoninator of language features to allow for cross serialization. Maybe in the next generation of these tools, languages like golang don't get a seat at the table for the sake of progress -- I could be fine with it.
With async/await (which I think C# also uses) you actually unwind the entire stack and start a new one every time you do async callbacks. With fibers / green threads / whatever you instead store stacks in memory.

It took me a while to figure this out, thanks to articles I came across (such as “what color is your function?”.

There are memory / speed trade-offs, as per usual. If you have a lot of memory, and can keep all the stacks in memory, then go ahead and do that. It will save on all the frivolous construction / destruction of objects.

Having said that, my own experience suggests that when you have a startup, you should just build single-threaded applications that clean up after every request (such as with PHP) and spawn many of them. They will share database pool connections etc. but for the most part it will keep your app safer than if they all shared the same objects and process. The benchmarks say that PHP-FPM is only 50% slower than Swoole for instance. So why bother Starting safe beats a 2x speed boost.

And by the way, you should be building distributed systems. There is no reason why some client would have 1 trillion rows in a database, unless the client themselves is a giant centralized platform. Each client should be isolated and have their own database, etc. You can have messaging between clients.

If you think this is too hard, just use https://github.com/Qbix it does it for you out of the box. Even the AI is being run locally this way too.
A shame they didn't archive this in HDTV format. :-(
I really like the fixture system where fixtures can "expand" to multiple values. This is a great way to test combinations of configurations.
It's not _quite_ the same: you can't call async code from a sync context (hence the color issue), but I can always pass a "context.Background()" or such as a context value if I don't already have one.
I have some appetite for it. Either conscious is mere computation or it is not, and either branch should be explored. I think assuming that either branch is correct beyond a reasonable doubt is wrong.

Is there any material (!) you can link me to to explore further?
The easiest way to win hearts and minds is through the stomach [1]. I don’t know how effective South Korea’s program has been since LA’s Koreatown had tons of kbbq and other korean restaurants before 2009 but Thailand’s Global Thai [2] program has definitely improved the number and quality of Thai options around California.

My understand is they’ve also helped all the restaurants standardize on recipes and core ingredients around a few manufacturers like AROY-D and Maesri so there’s quite a bit of quality control built into the diplomacy.

It seems to me that targeting phones with built-in spying should be a higher priority for the USA than targeting TikTok.
There's a weird frame to this article that seems to be painting China as a "loan shark" villain pressuring the poor debtor countries. But that's not the way loans work at this scale. If this debt is bad, it's bad, and pressure isn't going to get those RMB back. China is on the hook here, and that's extremely bad for China. At the end of the day Kenya or Zambia can just refuse to pay (it's not like their credit is great to begin with).

In the west, loans like these are usually looked at as "aid"[1] and structured with some sort of guarantee that ensures the banks involved see it as a tolerable risk. Is that not true for Chinese loans? The article doesn't really say. But if not, again, that's extremely bad for China, not Kenya!

[1] Which is not to say they aren't or haven't been exploitive. Just that the loan risk itself tends to be borne by western governments.
>And they don't want to have shops and restaurants at a walking distance from their house.

If prices are any indicator, people highly value walkable neighborhoods, which is why they tend to be much more expensive than less walkable suburbs.
I wish there were a standard for status pages for sites, including long term immutable logs (to track uptime). Maybe a TLD like .status so one could query e.g. www.instagram.com.status (and maybe even be port/protocol based, although I'd respond in https for all). (obviously best practice is not to do status.sitename.com because DNS outages can affect all, and to avoid putting it on shared infra with your own site to the extent possible...keeping it out of the TLD you use would be an extra benefit, but a TLD would be the easiest thing to remember IMO)
This is great. I'm relatively comfortable with command lines, but I think people who reflexively respond with "RTFM" are completely wrong. There are few other parts of my life where reading a manual are necessary to start using a product. Being apathetic to users' needs (or deliberately hostile towards users) is frowned upon in almost every field.

More seriously, I know how much philosophers love their “what is it like to be …” phrasing but there are a host of embedded assumptions which are seldom even acknowledged, let alone examined or defended.
I can't shake that another reason is to break WFH. Spending a few quarters putting workers back in the place pays all sorts of dividends. And the workers will just take it.
Ah, of course. Sure. I can do that.

Any operation in neural networks that multiplies two vectors together and then collects them with a single addition operation is a dot product.

So 3x3 convs are technically a dot product, even though they have a spatial dimension. Same for the initial part of most transformers' attention layers, MLP layers, etc....

The overlap can be a bit tricky to deal with in terms of implications, but I've found it a very helpful formulation for squeezing out some performance boosts in previous implementations of neural networks that I've worked on.

Hope this helps, feel free to let me know if you have any more questions/thoughts/etc, love! <3 :)) :D :fireworkds:
