Phones already have app permissions: can access you contact, can access your location...

But no major phone OS provides a reliable "can access the internet" permission (without jailbreak/root). This would solve this issue much above the stack. I can install the dubious app. If the app can't access the internet at all (properly enforced by the OS) then by definition it can't leak anything.

I find it particularly disappointing from Apple. If they were truly committed to privacy as they claim, this would be a feature already.
Though since the correct ID is basically every kind of ID that's valid to buy age restricted goods like alcohol and stores have become more and more strict at checking that over the last few years that mostly seems to have been older people. (The government also permitted some other kinds of ID that older people are more likely to have access to in order to reduce this, but it didn't completely eliminate the problem and I'm pretty sure it wasn't expected to either.)

The press has, as usual, not been entirely honest about this. In particular, there was a talking point about how only one non-passport and non-driving license form of ID that young people are likely to have compared with much more forms of ID that older people will have, but that one form of ID is a blanket scheme that providers of ID sign up to in order for it to be valid as proof of age. There is no equivalent blanket scheme for ID that older people are likely to have.

Fractions, or the rationals are equivalent to polynomials. The rationals are also in aleph-naught, and thus have a one to one and onto mapping to the natural numbers.

Floating point numbers are equivalent to rationals with their base as the denominator
I. base-2 rationals with denominators that are powers of 2 will have termination expansions.

Useful for storage but not arithmetic as Fraction(147/10) has 10 in the denominator and 5 is a prime factor that isn't in the base.

BPD, or Binary Packed Decimal also allows for the storage of 14.7

But once again not useful for arithmetic.

Accumulated errors, catastrophic cancelation, etc are real problems too.

In decimal, 1/3 can be stored exactly but the expansion is 3
33333...

Because 3 is prime and not a prime factor of 10.

Had we decided on something rather than 10 for our base it may have worked out for computers better, but it is what it is.

The rationals are nice, being the only countable, totally ordered sets. But producing a computer circuit that can perform arithmetic on them isn't practical as far as I know without using fixed radix and the associated problems with non-terminating expansions.
Maybe my org is different, but I need to have confidence and justify/document my yes/maybe/no. It's very hard to prove that someone is lying, especially since you can't expect them to remember everything from some years ago. You could claim they should have tried to remember the details of their projects, but that's tricky since most people can't take code or notes with them. If I show that they have a Phd, with experience building whatever, but can't write a for loop, then I have my proof.

Terms like "good thought process", etc aren't allowed in our feedback, unless specific examples are given. Terms like "team fit" will get your feedback outright rejected. No mushiness allowed.
Presumably a transformer model or similar that uses positional encodings for the tokens could do that, but the U-Net decoder here uses a fixed-shape output and learns relationships between tokens (and sizes of image features) based on the positions of those tokens in a fixed-size vector. You could still apply this process convolutionally and slide the entire network around to generate an image that is an arbitrary multiple of the token size, but image content in one area of the image will only be "aware" of image content at a fixed-size neighborhood (e.g. 256x256).
Floating point is a piecewise linear approximation of a exponential function where each piece has fixed precision. For FP32, which has 23 mantissa bits, you divide each piece into 2^23 evenly spaced segments e.g. between 1 and 2 there are 2^23 segments and between 2 and 4 there are 2^23 segments, etc.

The strength of floating point is that it bounds % error rather than absolute error. Similar to how scientific notation has a % error represented in the form of number of significant figures.

Book canon vs Movie canon is hard enough, adding fanfiction to the mix is just too much! But its important to remember that fan-fiction is its own culture that's possibly incompatible with canon (either book or movie, since both canons are different).

----------------

An interesting approach to things is the Touhou games, where Zun himself follows Fanon as much as he's able. The core games don't have too much in the way of character development (they're all Japanese children stories that have been amped up into an over-the-top video game setting). But the fan-community has made up many stories about how various characters treat each other or think about each other, and its interesting to see a creator who goes all into "Fanon", rather than declaring themselves to be the one-true-canon.

And I think Zun is pretty open about this approach too. What the fan's believe is perhaps more important than what the author intended, at least in Zun's mindset.
Just playing around with metaphors and analogies, I'm imagining a sheet of paper hanging vertically, its bottom edge held down with a weight. When nicked on one side, that becomes a tear that causes it to separate in two.

In contrast, there's another sheet of paper which has a bunch of small holes punched into it. Despite being "weaker" from having less material, it's more resistant to a particular failure mode, since when the advancing tear hits one of the holes there's a chance that it will stop.

Eh, never mind, that's probably its own differently-named principle in materials-science durability.

Agreed. Sounds like a number of people have found a spiritual way to look at this, which seems a bit like a kind of quasi-religion, similar to the mystical aspects of Zen or yoga.

You wrote that?

What I don’t think is healthy to new ideas is bashing anything seemed spiritual with rationality and science.

They can coexist just fine so long as either side isn’t too dogmatic.

Personally, I think it's too common that people conflate spirituality and religion with shady institutions, which exist just as much in science and engineering as anywhere else.

I have complained to the retail store that I purchased it from. It's been over 30 days, next is the OIAC. The device is rebranded and sold under many different names (globally) so the real impactful course of action is to have Google and Apple take the applications off the app store.

It depends. A lot of stations off the expressway have full service where they fill your gas and offer to clean your windshields. Also depends on where, I still find a lot of full-service stations in Hokkaido.

New housing means the area is worthy of investment. Homeowners should want that for their communities, it makes their homes more valuable than those in communities that developers pass over. Plus the more people living in an area, the more pressure on housing, the more your single family home would fetch compared to a less dense area. Ask yourself if as an investor you'd rather own a single family home in some New Jersey farm town, or a lot in Manhattan?
Lifestyle is more than just diet, there's the activity level, sun exposure, and different things in the water. I think we should just start saying that gray cubicles are bad for the microbiome and roll with that.
I've vouched since this was marked dead but perhaps it should have been titled Ask rather than Tell.

It depends on how the entire project was funded and structured, and it sounds a little bit like an official grant - I'm probably reading a lot into the situation, but if lead party was within the company your company subcontracted to, they probably landed a grant improperly or for the explicit purposes to defraud. When discovered, those within the authoritative body see all involved as suspects - but since you company only got a letter, it sounds like the authorities are just looking for cooperation.

As for mindset, sadly that comes with the territory of being accused. Clearer thoughts prevail with sleep, so I'd suggest take something like proper melatonin, which even if you don't sleep much better, it may help with your anxious state. Hopefully you keep a work diary and can construct a time line of activities and expenses with that job.

> Weird. I haven’t seen that category on the porn sites

If you want to watch nonconsensual porn, I suggest you report yourself to the police. If you are unaware of a difference between consensual and nonconsensual porn, please report to a psychiatrist.

> Hmm. I’m sure 100% of _sex workers_ are there on their own free will. Right?

Right. But if you have any evidence that they are not, please report it to the police instead of complaining about it on a discussion forum. It is your legal and moral duty.

> I never said I didn’t like porn. Nor did I suggest a rigid framework.

Then explain what your position is and whether or not you actually do or don't like porn. Do you accept there is such thing as consensual workers in porn? If so, do you think they have a right to do their job? If not, why do you feel that you should control their employment prospects?

Please answer the questions because there are so many people like you who pop up in sex and drugs discussions and simply try and kill them because you are unable to accept other people's autonomy.

Again, please answer the questions so I can get some understanding of your worldview.

A sphere’s minimized surface area per volume also means that temperature control is more efficient: there’s less surface area for heat to escape in the winter, or enter in the summer. So for the same (or similar) wall material cost & ongoing energy cost, you get more interior space.

Then the question is: can you actually use the extra interior space?

Joking aside, I am one of those people that completely disagree with subpixel anti-aliasing. I wish I could turn it off completely everywhere on Windows. I can do it on GNU/Linux and macOS never had that. It always looks wrong to me, regardless of monitor used or settings I pick, like the letters have colour fringing. I hated it when Microsoft introduced Clear Type in Windows XP and I still can't stand it.

- would this not be one of the best examples of when to use small, incremental canary releases with the emergency feature enabled?

- if you did do a canary release, i would think that one of your first contacts be EMS in the area that you were planning on rolling out the feature to, so that you’d get good feedback directly rather than through news reports. do apple and google just not do this?
> I've learned languages in my 30's and see no reason why I couldn't continue to do so in the coming decades.

I think you're giving your age away.

I picked up basic German in 3 days of very hard work at age 20. It worked, I still remember it and it's still useful.

In my early 30s I picked up basic Norwegian in about 6 weeks of light effort. I can still recall some of it and still communicate in it, very poorly.

I also picked up a smattering of Spanish, Swedish and tiny amounts of Japanese without much effort in my teens and 20s.

In my mid 40s, I started to learn Czech. After 3 years of effort, I was getting nowhere, so I started paying professional teachers. After 5 years of that, I just about struggled past level A2 (advanced beginner).

Learning your first Slavic language in adulthood is brutally difficult. (New phonemes, vowel length as marker of minimal pairs, 4 genders + 7 cases + 2 plurals for all nouns + complex tense system including gendered verbs.)

Takeaways:

1. Language acquisition gets much harder with age.

2. Learning languages closely related to your own feels hard but it's much easier. Learn something distantly linked or unrelated for a long drawn out sharp shock.
If that is what you meant in your original post, then you presented it in a very manipulative, dishonest way. You alluded to Debian only offering decades old software versions and nothing newer, while the truth is that by default, users get fairly recent versions (e.g. KDE/Plasma is only one point release behind upstream), and one has to go out of their way and jump through hoops to get a version of Debian with software that is several years (not even a single decade) old.

One point is that they “argue” through their policies. It seems like there is much more government tolerance for “stimulating” the economy when it most benefits corporations (lower rates and/or bailouts) than it does when it disproportionately goes straight to citizens (stimulus checks)
What's ironic about your statement is most people who dislike capitalism complain about rich people "hoarding" money, and that money should be "liberated" and put to use.

You, on the other hand, want rich people to hoard money.

> So effectively these were government subsidized jobs.

Hey now, without government-subsidized jobs we'd have millions out of work if you take into account not only government agencies but also the US military.

While I think this specific version of government-subsidized jobs (pumping gas) feels forced, I think the government creating jobs is a great thing on the whole. The New Deal was a great example of this, created 20-something million new jobs for a decade or so and pulled us out of the great depression.

Now if we want to talk about truly bad government-subsidized labor it revolves around private companies abusing our welfare systems by paying their workers starvation wages cough Wal-mart cough.
I wholeheartedly agree with this. Vector databases are easily updatable, searchable by recency, and you can verify where the information came from. Training a custom frozen LLM for every company seems insane. Each company’s data is not that unique - it’s just the numbers that matter, for which you need a vector or traditional database.
I don't think that the older generation "hates" youth, I don't think they think about them at all really. In the conversations I've had with Boomers and older people, although there is the standard derision for youth that is stereotypically expected of older generations, I would say there is more an immense blindspot and unwillingness to consider even a slight sacrifice of any type, even for their own children. The expectation is that the youth will just have to work hard like they did in there day and a complete unwillingness to confront any sort of conversation about what hard work could buy in their day vs the present one. I've watched boomers talk to each other about their kids or grandkids being unable to buy a home amongst each and other and I would describe the overall vibe as being one of detached "oh well, sucks for them" type acceptance, and trying to console each other that their kids are doing fine in other ways (they buy a new iphone every other year!!!). Your comment actually mirrors a lot of their attitude, especially the part about how the youth of today would definitely do the same things, so why feel guilty about doing it, a hypothesis that has no way of being disproved and which exists largely as a balm to soothe their conscience as they try to deal with the cognitive dissonance of watching their children suffer, and then voting for parties and policies that will prolong that suffering.

You wouldn't imagine any young person doing something to help another person out in some sort of solidarity and yet I generally see this exact mindset in terms of voting for left wing parties that will raise taxes, including theirs, voting and campaigning for increased density which will affect the character of their neighborhoods and possibly decrease their property values. Hell I have never voted for a party that would decrease my taxes and I am pretty up front about needing to be taxed more as I am very fortunate with my employment and income situation. I've had conversations at length with boomers advocating for tax cuts which would cut funding to education, arguing that it is pretty convenient that they want these cuts right around the time that they have no children in public school and asked if we should also cut medical funding, funding that they disproportionately draw on and the response has been universally "No", that funding is good and necessary.

So I don't think that they young are "especially targeted" and more that anyone who is not a boomer and up is targeted and that happens to include the youth. We can tell ourselves a bunch of stories but stats around home ownership, lifespan, healthspan, median income, etc, etc, etc, a laundry list tells the actual story of what the current relationship is like between generations. You don't have to hate someone to harm them greatly...

They can't prevent you, because that would violate the GPL. However I'd say getting your subscription revoked as a penalty means it is not 'allowed'.
