Apple is the third largest game platform. They don't have contempt for games. They just have no idea what exactly the vision pro will turn into so they aren't backing it down a path they can't return from. Selling it as a gaming device means that if they don't have the gaming market quickly enough, they might not be able to pivot to other markets. It's an open (ish, for apple) platform that the market will decide what it is to become.

Caution for folks learning about the Merlin app from this thread: it's good at identifying bird calls, especially in North America, where there's a lot of training data, but it's not conclusive and can sometimes lead you astray by misidentifying a common bird as something exotic, or getting confused by birds that mimic other species (like mockingbirds). Treat Merlin Sound ID's suggestions as just suggestions, and use multiple inputs to identify a bird - appearance, structure, plumage, time of year, time of day, behavior, habitat for example.
I just installed ground mount bifacial panels at my house. The marketing said that they generate “up to 30% more” electricity being bifacial. I concur that there are significantly more hours of production (albeit at lower amounts during these shoulder hours) than if they were monofacial.
(I'm not sure if you were joking or not and I know it's probably not in the same spirit you intended it here / a bit OT but...) I've been using literally that exact expression for a while to describe the situation in which, during somewhat complex discussions within a group, in order to not be perceived as jerks participants are forced to follow an unnecessarily long, repetitive, trivial and most often also completely pointless "line of reasoning" just to have their own attention completely derailed from any productive/actually-interesting argument anyone was trying to make, often ultimately resulting in giving up because recalling those lost mental threads is by then even more difficult and there is only so much mental energy (for you and collectively) to dedicate to that discussion.

Just saying, imho it's already a thing (with different incarnations in different contexts).
the app looks incredible, but I'm apprehensive about putting all of my financial details into a solo project without knowing a little more about how you've addressed security & privacy - is there somewhere I can read about how you are ensuring my information stays secure?

Have a look at FSNotes, I use it on Mac and iOS and it works well for me, I previously used notational velocity and loved it, have also a liking for Joplin but it doesn’t synch as easily as I would like, FSNotes does all really well! I tried Notion, it was not for me in so many ways!
I bet crypto will have the same problems any other type of money has once it gets widely used. I don’t see anything in crypto that can solve our current problems.
It might be helpful to repurpose/rename one of the existing account types and set up some custom liquidity/withdrawal settings. Or perhaps use a custom asset from the assets section.

If there are any specific mechanics you have trouble modeling, let me know -- would be good to capture them on the roadmap.
Wait the suggestion is that billionaires/powerful people bought Twitter for nefarious purposes. Is it not worth more intact but surveilled and censored than utterly sabotaged with Elon graciously taking one for the team?

I’m not convinced, this is a bit complex, conspiratorial and nonsensical for me. When the simpler explanation is that Elon has just mismanaged the company.
My hot take is that if you dont do the trick, you basically get a mean of all vectors in the value matrix if all x are very small. Which then probably the next sequence of linear layers will be able to interpret the same way as if you do the +1 trick and prodce a 0?
Many public libraries have notaries on staff.
Static type checking takes a long longer developer time wise and does a much worse job than unit tests.
I agree. As a physicist, I am very comfortable with the idea that all models of reality are wrong^1, but some models are useful for some things. For example: If you want to get a rocket into space, Newton’s laws are useful (despite being “wrong” in a very real way). But Newton’s laws are not useful if you’re designing GPS (you need relativity for that) and likewise they’re not useful if you are deciding whether to ask Susie on a date.

My observation is that many traditional belief systems do encode useful beliefs and behaviours. Practicing yoga is healthful, despite Qi being “wrong”. I do hope your surgeon isn’t using the Qi model to do open heart surgery of course — though many of the surgeon’s beliefs about the human body are “wrong”, he’ll get better outcomes with them than with Qi.

I therefore, like you, see no contradiction between learning astrology and using it to bond and communicate with friends about social situations, and going off to work in the morning as a particle physicist or something.

As far as I’m concerned, the /real/ problem is this creeping “scientism” which asserts that the only acceptable knowledge is that which comes dressed in the robes and language of Science. Scientism is corrosive to the pursuit of actual science, and to society’s relationship with science.

I am therefore much more concerned with someone saying “Scienty science words and therefore politics” or even ”scienty science words and therefore Everything You Know About Relationships Is Wrong“ — than I am about people practicing traditional astrology.

^1 “Wrong” being a loosely defined word for a slippery concept here. Perhaps replace with “not big-T True”
Hypothetically, if the technique can enrich U, Pu, or other fissile isotopes in decent quantities, you run into other issues. Stirring an aqueous enriched uranium solution is a great way to have a criticality accident (cf. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Criticality_accident). That’s not to say it’s impossible to manage, just difficult. UF6, the current compound of choice for enrichment, is in the gas phase during the process.
All of that with the cost of only doubling the amount of solar cells.

Unless solar cells are almost free, that's not a vast improvement. That's only cost-positive if the cells are less than 1/5 of the total cost of your solar farm. I don't think any place qualifies.

I live in New Zealand.
The average house price is nearly NZ$900k, with the big cities being more. The median wage is about NZ$63k.

Jobs, family etc are around the cities. There is a minimum deposit requirement before you can get a mortgage (at 20% or less it’s hard but possible. Below about 5% no one will lend).

Houses are way overpriced and average quality is low (insulation, heating/cooling, water tightness etc). Paying for a house on a single income is out of reach for huge swathes of the population and would also leave a household vulnerable if the earner was unable to work.

Your ideal of paying for a house with one wage is something left behind in 1950 New Zealand. Jobs, children, lifestyles etc are all dictated by rent and mortgage requirements. It’s depressing how inflated housing costs are.

Personally, I have found the package management to be somewhat more difficult to navigate than Python's (which I also have little love for...). But perhaps this is a learning curve thing...

You can still have unique addresses and private networks. For things that shouldn't be globally routable give them a unique internal address. For things that should be give them a unique public address. It still makes things simpler to not have the NAT.

It's not.
Of course. It's published as an open-access paper here:

https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s10994-020-05945-w

But I recommend the arxiv version where Springer couldn't mess up my LaTex formatting:

(Not that my LaTex formatting is anything to write home about!).

To clarify, the algorithm described in our paper doesn't reduce the size of the search space for logic programs- it sidesteps it.

Note I'm the corresponding author in the paper and my email is in the Springer version (top of the page). I'm always happy to answer questions about my work.
Requiring formalism does not preclude attaching an informal but intuitional description of the formal definition or proof. Unless the authors don't understand very clearly what they are talking about, or they want to prevent others from understanding their concepts too easily, I don't see why there is a reason for the authors not to attach an EIL5 in addition to formalism.

Do you mean the IPv6 space? The full Ipv4 space has been practically scannable for quite a while now.

https://zmap.io/

ZMap is a fast single-packet network scanner optimized for Internet-wide network surveys. On a computer with a gigabit connection, ZMap can scan the entire public IPv4 address space on a single port in under 45 minutes. With a 10gigE connection and PF_RING, ZMap can scan the IPv4 address space in 5 minutes.
oh, that's wise – don't even take the data in the first place. good idea :)
Because there are a thousand ideas a minute in this field that meet the "it's worth trying" bar but don't actually pan out to make any difference. It's the equivalent of a blogpost that says "if someone else turned my idea into a business, it would be a billion dollar business. But I won't bother."

Here is an added complication: succinct technical communication can be efficient when communicating to peers who work on the exactly same domain, similar problems as you, and want digest your main ideas quickly.

On the other hand, for any particular paper, the size of the audience to whom it is directly relevant and addressed to can be small. The size of the audience who got to reading it anyway may be vast. (Maybe I am reading your paper because someone cited a method paper that in lieu of a proof or explanation writes just two words and citation to your paper. Maybe I am a freshly minted new student reading it for my first seminar. Maybe I am from a neighboring field and trying to understand what is happening in yours. Maybe I tried to find what people have already done with particular idea I just had and search engine gave your paper. And so on.)

During my (admittedly lackluster) academic career I recall spending much more time trying to read and understand papers that were not addressed to me than papers that were and where I enjoyed the succinct style that avoids details and present the results. (Maybe it is just an idiosyncratic trust issue on my part, because I am often skeptical of stated results and their interpretation, finding the methods more interesting). But that is not all.

I also noticed that genuine misunderstandings coming from "brief" communication of technical "details" were quite common; two different researches would state they "applied method X to avoid Y/seek Z[citation]" in exactly so many and almost exactly same words, where X,Y and Z were complicated technical terms, yet the authors would have quite different opinion what the meaning of those words were and what would be the intended reading and how and why X should be implemented.

In conclusion, I think many a scientific field would benefit from a style where authors were expected to clearly explain what they did and why (as clearly as possible).
I like the comparison but I think Scientist Time is an important missing part of the equation. (Also disclosure that I wrote my dissertation project in Julia, which made use both of multi threading and the ability to parallelize easily in an HPC environment.)

Not knowing rust, a lot of this material looks like it would have high initial investment (to learn rust) and an ongoing variable cost to implement (ie, figuring out all of these complexities in a particular use case). There is surely a trade off on accuracy but everything in science is about trade offs.

If you can publish three papers working in julia while the rust programmer gets through only one… we know who is going to get tenure.

And on top of that they aren't realizing any of the gain of the modern technology here. They buy a $1000 laptop, with $100 a month internet plan, to go watch a 15 minute youtube video with 4 minutes of discrete ads and 4 minutes of sponsor product mentions cut into the actual video, all to gleam a fraction of the understanding that a single page of whatever someone in their position a few decades ago would have checked out for free from the library. Whats all of this effort and technology even for then? The only people who eek out a gain here are the advertisers who now have put themselves front and center of what used to be an entirely unmonetized trip to the library, a known good source of truth.

"The Blue Elite" is the most unhinged concept to emerge from this whole thing.
Skill levels follow a power law distribution just like wealth so most people are below average if you think of the average as the mean value. But with skewed distributions the mean is almost meaningless. If you'll pardon the pun.
I don't think voting is a great use case for this. Surely, if you're concerned about fraud in voting, simply being able to prove the voter is a person is insufficient. It wouldn't stop double-voting, etc.

Anti-spam? That seems like shooting mosquitos with missiles. And I doubt it would be that effective at spam prevention. Spammers will just start paying tons of actual people to vet the messages as coming from real people, much like how captchas and the like are circumvented.

> And most use cases in which you're required to present an ID.

We already have ID for that. And surely, in those cases, what is trying to be established isn't just whether or not you're human, but which specific human you are.

I've also heard that it's useful to administer UBI (just to round out your list), but UBI is a thing that -- at least in the US -- is but a vague dream, not anything that's realistically going to happen anytime soon. And even if it is, I don't think a system that just demonstrates proof-of-humanness would be sufficient.
I was on a flight and after a rough turbulent half hour after take off, the English captain announced a technical issue that meant we must return to the airport.

The plane had been acting bizarrely it bounced very hard on take off and then did not gain much altitude for the duration.

There was another rough half an hour back to land in a terrible cross wind.

Then a few moments on the tarmac before it was announced that it was because additional checks were required and the plane was running entirely fine. A bird strike meant they had to return as a precaution.

I'd take the clear and transparent understatement over what I can only assume is a corporate line which covers things from entirely not worth mentioning and we're about to crash and burn.
I don't use twitter, and so I am a bystander watching Musk do everything he can to sink it (I assume not on purpose). He owns x.com, loves the idea of it and wants to bolt it on somewhere. Except Twitter has crazy name recognition, so this is stupid and confusing. I am sure it will survive, but this can only hurt the company in my opinion.

Back when the facebook company became Meta, I thought that was an unnecessary but harmless move. This is because normal people who don't care about tech can still say "I will post on facebook".
Why? Why do you care so much?
I'm a very happy user of the app.

Love the sankey charts you added. I had a DIY version of that before.

This is because VM means two different things and has for a long time:

IBM's VM was and is a hypervisor. It dates to the mid 1960s, in the form of CP-40, and it didn't run opcodes in software, but in hardware.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IBM_CP-40

p-code machines, which interpret bytecode, date back almost as far, such as the O-code machine for BCPL.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BCPL

Getting people to distinguish between these concepts is probably a lost cause.

Lots of government too. I worked at a government agency that ran it’s business off of mainframe. I worked there as a web developer and we had to consume data from the mainframe in our web apps. Very tedious process.
I'd just like to interject for a moment. What you're refering to as Twitter, is in fact, X/Twitter, or as I've recently taken to calling it, X plus Twitter. Twitter is not a social media unto itself, but rather another free component of a fully functioning X system made useful by the X corelibs, shell utilities and vital system components comprising a full as defined by X.
Whilst understandable the misunderstanding of bruce lee, people forgot he wrote books and think hard on the philosophy. Hence he will move onto philosophy and not just fighting.

Also he missed that he is not in his prime. He is better than all of us at that age. But he suffered a lot of problem including 1 whole year no practice or training …
We need to distinguish attention span as an inate ability from our time allocation patterns (where we exercise our agency).

Did an elaborate psychological experiment recently (n=1) and was happily surprised that i am still able to read a book cover to cover, no problem :-)

But "finding the time" to do so (i.e prioritising such an experience) is another matter altogether.
I don't see a lot of devices that don't support IPv6 these days. Linux supports it, so most terrible IoT crapware works perfectly fine, and esp-idf enables it by default (solving the problem for a ton of cheap smart home crap).

There are still devices that don't support hardware IPv6 acceleration but at this point even those are becoming rare.
Certainly not together like that, but I've definitely mentioned googling something when I actually used the brave default search engine.
> not just a recent phenomenon

I disagree. Countless studies shows that over the past 20 years, women sexlessness remains unchanged while men's tripled. (10% to 30%). Might even be worse today. Also other studies show women being single in ages 18-30 at 30% while men are at 60%.

If there was a fundamental societal issue (lower wages, great recession, low real estate supply/high prices etc), one wouldn't expect the men's percentages to change by orders of magnitude while the women's to remain relatively unchanged (or not change by orders of magnitudes).

I'm afraid the numbers are too big to gaslight a generation of men whose experiences reinforce this.

Even my own experience, taking a bus to work filled with 250k FAANG engineers, ide bet 80-90% of them are virgins or sexless. Also another anecdotal case where my 50/50 male/female workplace had an event where people brought their spouses (it was funny to notice in a sad kind of way), pretty much all the women (of all varying attractive levels) brought guys but barely any of the guys brough any women. Once i saw the stats, i began seeing it everywhere.

One thing i do agree with you on though is this "What's recent is them getting organised". If they wren't sharing their experiences, guys would think there is something wrong with them as an individual person, but given the percentages, i'm afraid i can only conclude the changes in society withing the past 70 years (and more so the last 20) is causing this.

Happy to be proven wrong tho (but current data and my own anecdotal experience unfortunately shows otherwise)
Exactly, Louis XIV had a great reign and was a politically gifted ruler who kept relative peace for 50 years.
This is going to be nothing like the Apple Silicon dev kit bro. They're expecting to be able to manufacture about 250,000-350,000 a year. They need those for Apple Stores, their own internal development, and of course customers. This is probably going to be more like 1,000 dev kits or less that go out.

No. I'm pasting docs of stuff not used in the training data. Otherwise why would I paste the docs in?
If it gave a 35% improvement, it would be an almost universal small gain. If it gave you a 25% improvement, it would be a good candidate for one place or another that face unusually high land or labor costs.

But no, at 20%, I don't believe anybody will want this. Maybe in a decade that changes, but not right now.
