Considering btrfs doesn't have a working RAID implementation, screwing up a drive would lead to the volume being unusable, yes.
Had the same, but both taste and smell... anything eaten was just tasteless goo for maybe 6 weeks, no point in fine cuisine. I tested myself daily with sniffing a bottle of 52% home made slivovitz, it was like breathing mountain air, no reaction to even rather concentrated alcohol vapors.

Weird times... I'll never know if my smell came back 100%, or just some fraction of it. In fact, it took good additional 6 months to get my personal perfume to smell nice again, while normal smells kid of came back, this was a litmus paper for me that I am not 100% there yet.

Btw you can lose smell easily permanently, all it takes is 1 good hit in the nose. Nerves going through the skulls go through these tiny pores in the bone, and if the nose cartilage moves enough suddenly they all get severed/chopped. Doctors are quite familiar with this, no way to get this repaired.
I wouldn't try building red from source with neither the official rebol 3 nor this Atronix release (nor Oldes fork, nor Ren-C), on their site they always built with rebol 2.7.
I thought red aimed for self-hosting, but as far as I can delve in their sites, I infer that they are rolling the rebol way and you "should just download the binary distribution". Meh!

I feel like lucid dreaming is in a way the baseline and that when we're awake, reality constantly knocks us back into groundedness. In a lucid dream there is no error correcting signal to keep our fabulations in check. Things tend to drift away like the silhouettes of an infinity mirror.

It is quite clear from the etymologies that both words already existed for aeons in English and its ancestors. So there is absolutely no corruption going on "in the first place". What is, however, possible is that their similarity was a factor in their merging. That is something that happens occasionally.
It doesn't matter though. Copying the features of incumbents has always been FB's MO. They will eventually compete or even outrace Twitter in due time, as much as I do not like to see that.

I think you got things backwards. France wanted to bomb libya (as well as the UK) whils the US was a reluctant partner.

The US went for Syria/Assad leading the intervention and whilst France picked up it's involvement against ISIL & the like particularly after the Paris attacks it wasn't as big on it as Libya.

The implementation of Pull may be a bit mysterious to the casual reader, but its usage seems clear enough to me from the function signature. Even without reading the docs I think it’s easy to guess what yield, pull, and stop should do (and how to implement yield). That’s what matters, imo.

Fwiw if you look at the source of some other idiomatic standard library functions you may find their implementation is of similar complexity. That’s the nature of good abstractions, though, they should make tricky things easy to use.
I call it a mistake not because disagree necessarily but that making unwise decisions is the lynchpin of liberty.

I was similar to you (maybe not to that extreme) and I don't see zinc mentioned in this post.

I did have a minimal sense of smell, as in I could faintly smell perfumes if I sprayed it on my nose but often not animal feces or similar.

I started supplementing zinc because I suspected I was deficient in it and in about two weeks of taking 25-40mg per day (be careful, 40mg is the upper limit) I started smelling things properly.

It got to a point now after a few years that I can tell what happened in a room in the previous 30 mins when I step in.

There are upsides (smelling the sea) and downsides (dirty humans are truly something) but I love every minute of it.

I wonder if it was easy to cheat since all the network traffic seems to have

Maybe it spawned the first instance of cheat bots too.
I fear all of this is dancing around the nasty core of the problem: generic writing to C style strings can't be done without extra information. You can't write stuff to memory without negotiating how much room is needed and available, and optionally moving the string. Silent truncation will cause bugs. Buffer overflow even more.

Fixing this now is hard: Writing to 0-ended strings require manually tracking lengths. Expanding a string without allowing malloc is misery.

The only way out I see is basically starting from zero: ISO C should define an API with a (pointer,current length, max length) struct at its core, pointer pointing to a 0-terminated C string. You can read it, but changing it requires using functions that can error out and/or malloc more memory. There are already multiple libs like this, but C has none. If the struct would be ABI, non-C programming languages can pass strings between them.
Same in Germany. You can get about twice the pay (if you manage to stay fully booked), though you don't save anything in taxes -- unless you count in VAT free equipment purchases and avoiding the public pension scheme.
> "it is extremely unethical to operate a vehicle in this condition.

Maybe you have point, but its not quite sharp enough, because condition is but part of the problem. You see here in the UK we something called MOT tests which vehicles have to pass every year once a vehicle reaches its 3rd or 4th year.

A minimum standard of braking force has to be achieved by each wheel, irrespective of road conditions or whether the vehicle has ABS to avoid it skidding, increasing the odds of an out of control crash. Sure the minimum braking force is a blunt instrument, but its a starting point before we get into the finer peculiarities of how to stop a vehicle in different situations, like on ice, something I understand Canada has plenty off!

So are you telling me, that all the combined wit and intellect of the Canadian govt and people results in a failure to have a mandated annual road worthiness tests for the vehicles on their road?

And then when you go on about the lack of crumple zones, braking performance and fume emissions, maybe you have a point here, but then we only have to look at the logging equipment to fell the Canadian forests are hardly helping the greenhouse gas problem of the planet.

Crumple zones, do Canadians wrap their buildings and street furniture with pillows to ensure they have crumple zones for cyclists, or is this just stealth victimisation of someone who cant afford the more popular 911 let alone retromod it like a million dollar 964 Singer Porsche?

I dont understand accepting the freedom of the choice of people like you when it exposes unconsenting others to more half baked ideas and illegitimate govts for their own dislike of an internet article.

Tech we use is us (see: EMT and embodied cognition), and so we care about it like we care about ourselves. Phone is our memory and communicative capabilities, bicycle or car is our feet, and both are visible to other people.

Car culture will be a problem for as long as cities are built for them and people feel the need to regularly morph into car-persons (plus a couple of generations after), because a car is literally part of its driver.

Good public transport and getting rid of private cars in the midst of us will help, but it will be a slow road to get there, especially in countries that place premium on freedom of movement (they don’t want to be beholden to government-run public transit in case government goes rogue).

Meanwhile cities will continue to intersperse walkable areas with private vehicle accessible roads. Proximity of private cars to people means people are always in danger, and the desire to show off, like others show off nice attire or haircut and geeks show off custom mechanical keyboards (as well as to satisfy own childhood examples, if parents drive) by driving expensive or weird cars sadly increases bad outcomes (because such cars are generally fast, large, or broken).

That all said, the guide to stealing Porsche 914 was an entertaining read.

Our model generates CLIP image embeddings from fMRI signals and those image embeddings can be used for retrieval (using cosine similarity for example) or passed into a pretrained diffusion model that takes in CLIP image embeddings and generates an image (it's a bit more complicated than that but that's the gist, read the blog post for more info).

So we are doing both reconstruction and retrieval.

The reconstruction achieves SOTA results. The retrieval demonstrates that the image embeddings contain fine-grained information, not just saying it's just a picture of a teddy bear and then the diffusion model just generates a random teddy bear picture.

I think the zebra example really highlights that. The image embedding generated matches the exact zebra image that was seen by the person. If the model only could say it's just a zebra picture, it wouldn't be able to do that. But the model is picking up on fine-grained info present in the fMRI signal.

The blog post has more information and the paper itself has even more information so please check it out! :)
The title and tweet both say "EU".
“Apart from that” does a lot of work here: FFI layers generally talk nul-terminated string unless otherwise specified, so do syscalls.
It was actually sarcasm?
I'm used to `err != nil`, but it doesn't mean I like it. It's a lot of what amounts to boilerplate in a language that is mercifully short of boilerplate elsewhere. This is doubly true when you want custom error types, and need to start unpacking values from your custom error struct.
After reading the whole thing, the main idea feels more like "statistical arbitrage, debunked!". He does the womp-womp when he doesn't find any alpha. He even mentions that the paper's author is often cited as an expert.

Your comments were quite confident when you weren't actually familiar with the basics of the topic. Most countries have relaxed road worthiness tests or complete exemptions for classic cars, and I think this stands to reason.
Can I ask what are you and your wife working with now?
> They’re literally the only way to report ctor errors.

The point being? Please go find me a codebase which wraps object instantiation in try-catch clause if that's what you are trying to say. I haven't seen any.

Anyway, for that reason constructors are always written so that they cannot fail in hideous ways, and if there is no other way around it there is always 2-phase initialization (personally I think it's an anti-pattern).

> Only in the most reductive way that all langages are turing complete, in which case Java has them as well.

Nonsense. Zig AFAIU abstracts error types as some sort of integer enums while OTOH Rust has Result<T, E>. C++ has both of those mechanisms baked either into the language (enum) or standard library (std::expected, std::optional).
> idea borrowed from the US. If that has failed, it’s due to a failure of integration.

Yeah, that sounds like 'blaming the victim'

It works in the US due to a variety of factors, but I agree with you that being a bit less racist at the same time pushing them to success (read: sink or swim) helps. Oh and the US has much less tolerance for people who come with bad intent and deports a lot more

How to Leverage Form Elements
The underlying NSD dataset used in the three prominent (and impressive) recent papers on this topic (including the one linked here) is a bit problematic as it invites this (classification/identification, not reconstruction): It only has 80 categories. It has not been recorded with reconstruction in mind.

Reconstruction is the primary and difficult aim, but is what you want and expect when people talk such „mind reading”. Classifying something on brain activity has long been solved and is not difficult, it is almost trivial with modern data sizes and quality. At 80 categories and with data from higher visual areas you could even use an SVM for the basic classifier and then some method for getting a similar blob shape from the activity (V1-V3 are map-like), and get good results.

If you are ignorant about the question whether you are just doing classification you can easily get too-good-to-be-true results. With these newer methods relying on pretrained features this classification case can hide deep inside the model too, and can easily be missed.

The community is currently discussing to what extent this applies to these newer papers (start with original post):
https://twitter.com/ykamit/status/1677872648590864385?s=20

One thing they showed is that the 80 categories of that data collapse to just 40 clusters in the semantic space.

(Kamitani has been working on the reconstruction question for long time and knows all these traps quite well.)

The deeprecon dataset proposed as an alternative has been around for a few years and been used in multiple reconstruction papers. It has many more classes, out of distribution „abstract“ images and no class overlap between train and test images, so it’s quite suitable for proving that it is actually reconstruction. But it’s also one order of magnitude smaller than the NSD data used for the newer reconstruction studies. If you modify the 80-class NSD data to not have train-test class overlap, the two diffusion methods tested there do not work as well, but still look like they do some reconstruction.

On deeprecon the two tested diffusion methods fail at reconstructing the abstract OOD images (which NSD does not have), something previous reconstruction methods could do.

Demonstrate to me that you have observed Russia's attempts at peace-making in the last 20 years, and then we can have a discussion.

It's just inviting downvotes but I also agree with you.

Therapy is a scam and no doctor can explain how or why anti-depressants work (also why they have people "try" many before finding the "right one for you").

But people are too cool for friends and family now and hearing hard truths so they pay someone to be told they matter and how to run their lives.

I have seen different approaches to therapy being done to different friends and only one friend got better - this tells me it can work for some, but the odds are you're getting a grifter. In this case their therapist told them they didn't need anti-depressants (shocker) and after ~15 sessions said they were fine and didn't need help anymore. Everyone else is medicated and still going every month, presumably til they die.

"Categorical age", if you'll allow me to coin a term for this phenomenon (infancy, childhood, adolescence, middle age, ... - your conception may vary) is more or less a qualification of our personal relationship to time and mortality. So while we might have broad consensus that a 5 year old is a child and a 70 year old is a senior, it's not determined by numerical age. Just a near 1 correlation.

After all, we never know our numerical middle age except in retrospect.
