I didn't know I was supposed to "prove" anything to you or handhold you on reading even the basics of the available documentation. All I have to say is your loss for not making the effort on your own and being so negative and combative. Good luck sir.

I've had them out perform frequentist methods, but there is a real cost too it and some of it is closer to witchcraft then science.

That said, I'll have to give this a spin sometime soon.
I have a question for you. I notice that you've chosen to use a pseudonym. I think that's an entirely valid choice.

But would you please explain to us why it is you choose to use a pseudonym?

Were I to ask (which I won't) that you share your name and address, would that make you uncomfortable?

Cap'N'Proto comes with a (quite good) RPC facility. Based on asynchronous promises and grounded in capabilities.

You don't have to use it. You could just use it just as a 'serialization' layer but if you're writing services you could be missing half the advantage, really. And if you're writing in C++ you'll end up having to use their KJ library anyways.

If you take the whole package the zero copy, capability-security, and asynchrouny (a word I just coined!) all fit together nicely.
Probably but that correlation will disappear once you hash it, which they claim they are doing.
a) AFAIK Canonical's Anbox does NOT give you a phone number. Also afaik, they don't provide a recent Android version, so you're stuck with a really old version.

b) This is a really good point! I don't know atm, I'll have to look into it.

That's a separate issue. If one already has a tourist visa or is from a visa waiver country, there really are no issues traveling to the U.S. while the green card process is pending if you are smart and careful. But it's very difficult to obtain a tourist visa if you are in the green card process.

"just released"
This is not actually true. Lawyers prefer jurors with critical thinking skills because it means they can be reasoned to; jurors without critical thinking skills are unpredictable wildcards.

Most jurors are gainfully employed in stable jobs, or were but are now retired, and care enough about their civic responsibilities not to try to get out of jury duty.

OnlineOrNot Diaries 14: Building what people ask for
I may agree with your point but don't understand the social justice aspect at all; makes it feel like it's something just added in. I think both our perspective as a society and thereforo educational goals have changed over decades, laterally to any social justice aspect. If nothing else, there are order of magnitude more developers of all sorts today than 25 years ago, both as absolute numbers and as relative percentage of population. Basically the enthusiastic nerds who geek out about anything and everything and want to be hands on are still there, but also a LOT of people who just want a paycheck or just have more limited / specific interests. And they do ok. And education system will provide for them.

But I just don't see e.g. for-profit bootcamps with their simplified curriculum as any kind of social justice project.
Observers say the dispute has the potential to limit who conducts education research in California and what they are able to study because CDE controls the sharing of data that is not available to the public.

All data in Florida from public institutions are public. There would never have been controversy in the first place. But yeah, you're right - the Sunshine laws have nothing to do with testimony.

This makes no sense. My employer provisions me an work phone so that they manage it end-to-end with MDM, and ensure that it stays physically separate from non-corporate assets. If this product just lets me use my work phone on my personal phone, then it completely defeats the purpose, and my employer might as well just allow use of work communications on personal devices.
I think it depends on what you mean by high energy.

Are you talking loudly and interrupting work? Yeah, that would get on my nerves too. Are you excited about releasing new features and animated in your presentations because that's the appropriate time to be energetic? That's fine and you do you. Situation and context matters a lot.
Not a Texan here, but let's steelman the argument a bit. I think a lot of people who say "climate change isn't real" (or similar) actually mean that they disagree on what to do about it. Especially in terms of things like:

- What to do about the developing Global South, whose carbon emissions are only going to rise

- The lack of viable alternatives (with current technology) for many things that currently depend on the high energy density of hydrocarbons

- Strong skepticism against proclaimed emergencies that urgently require more centralized government authority and taxation (which is a playbook as old as history, after all...)

- The opportunity cost of implementing green/renewable energy sources, given that all resources are finite and have alternative uses

The existence of people who literally mean that "climate change isn't real" shouldn't take away from this important discourse.

Fundamentally, and zooming out of Texas, there is a divide between people who see the climate issue (or any other big issue) as a categorical imperative to deal with and the people who see it (or any other) as another factor in an ever-changing ocean of constraints and incentives that humanity faces. It's a fascinating divide.
It is interesting but the warning was watered down by the author's insistence that you shouldn't drink at all. With her research focus being (paraphrased and summarized) the negative social effects of alcohol, the bias makes the information hard to read.

I think the lack of a web client is a big reason. Also, I'm not sure if there's an API for it. If there isn't, that would need to be implemented.
In the end, even that is an approximation. We want to limit our services to "humans" because humans can spend money, and humans can only put so much content into our services (spamming limited versus a bot), and humans want to talk to humans, maybe humans only want to date humans, etc.

But if there was a bot that was well behaved (for whatever that means for a given service), and somehow legitimately viewed ads, and could legitimately decide to buy something with real money from an ad, there's a lot of sites that would no longer want to ban that particular bot. Now they need to distinguish between that bot and the other "bad" bots. In general, if a bot can "behave well" we don't necessarily want to kick them out just for being bots.

In the end, the more bots become like humans and humans through things like the Mechanical Turk become more like bots, service providers will be required to very carefully think through what it is they actually want to demand of their users. Splitting people into "human" and "bot" is already only an approximation on the grounds that there's plenty of humans services don't want around, and there's already some bots that services are fine with (e.g., some helpful reddit bots), so that split isn't going to be good enough. The process of thinking through what is really desirable at a much higher level of detail will be fun to watch, and there will be a lot of different answers for different services.
‘Made’
It's going to be a long process to a green card then. The only reasonably fast path is the EB1A extraordinary ability path and the standard is very high and difficult and subjective/uncertain.
I think, in retrospect, they made a mistake in launching quickly before having core features. There was a desire to capitalize on twitter technical issues.

> Mr Zuckerberg [...] described the situation as "normal" and said he anticipated retention to improve as new features were added to the app.

I think if it was normal, they wouldn't have publicly spiked the football after the admittedly incredible signup numbers. They would have been a bit more humble, said they expected most users to leave soon after, but that this is an encouraging sign (or something to that effect). Maybe a bit more celebratory, but playing with expectations a bit more. They started off with INCREDIBLY humble talking points about likelihood of failure and then I think just got too excited.

None of this is to suggest they have no chance. They still have a ton of users and I'd still consider the launch a success overall.
That depends on the type of TV! The old kind had a manual rotary switch, and you had to move through all intermediate channels regardless of whether a station was broadcasting there, so you could see static when switching.

For example, in my area, the main stations were at 4, 5, and 8. Switching from 5 to 4, I'd see no static because they're adjacent. Switching from 5 to 8, I'd see static while the knob was at 6 and 7.

The 60s, 70s, and 80s TV sets on the site are the style I'm talking about. The 90s and 2000s TVs aren't.

The best way to do it would be to use different transitions depending on the style of TV depicted. But the way they did it is not wrong for all analog TVs.
Okay something that confuses me: to replace Twitter (sorry, X), it has to be something whose posts get linked just as much, from outside that site.

I have yet to see a single Threads post get linked anywhere -- not here, not Reddit, not even from Facebook.

(Edit: Or at least, I'm too ignorant to realize what such a post would look like, in which case, branding fail.)
Ha, I knew someone who formerly worked for IGT. Said when he relocated he had a complete gambling machine (massively obsolete) in his living room.

Hmmm, those are probably the real reasons behind all of that, it is just the bullet-proof way to de-anonymize the internet users, and building a database that can be purchased later for billions by other entities, ones that likes to “end the captchas” aka web environment integrity [1], or the ones who buy it to force serving ads regardless of any ad blockers and having a fully detailed profile about you, or the ones who integrate that identity to their fingerprinting services, or the ones who will use to “fight misinformation” aka opinions doesn’t align with our narrative, or the ones who will integrate it to social media signup process or votes [2], or the ones will add it to their electric cars, and the list goes on I could write a book how’s that a horrible bad evil idea.

This is being reported in a strange way. We don't typically write about startups gaining initial signups and then compare them to the active users as if they lost something by not getting 100% of them to engage. Do we even have numbers for what percent of twitter users actively engage versus total user base?

I don't think they are doing very bad considering it's mobile only right now.

Static types are a partial application/reduction when certain mutable or unknown variables become constants (i.e. "I for sure only need integers between 0-255 here").

I'm not rejecting static types entirely, and yes I was discussing exchanging data here, as Alan Kay's OOP is inherently distributed. It's much closer to Erlang than it is to Java.

Hey, thanks for the feedback. Sign-in and saving to a profile was the most requested feature across the board when I previously launched Selecta, and as such it needs access to enable features that were requested by those who enjoyed using it.

I'd be more than happy to share what each of those datapoints is used for (and, in some cases where I only need an auth scope for one permission, but they're grouped together). Selecta is strictly open-source and anonymous analytics.

You can find the auth scopes I use in this file:

I've not observed my phones getting noticably warmer with wireless charging compared to regular wired charging. Since heat is the enemy of current gen lithium batteries, it is far more likely that "fast charging" at the max supported rate is significantly worse for the lifespan than a slower, lower current charge session.

One advantage of wireless over wired charging is that wireless doesn't cause wear and tear on the wired connection port socket.

Even if we stopped all carbon emissions today the earth would continue to warm for centuries. Mitigating these effects is going to take carbon capture(aka unburning oil) and geoengineering on an immense scale which won't be possible without economic growth. There's no going back.

I joined Boguslavskiy by the device that recorded directly onto electrochemical
paper. A report was coming in from the receiving center: “Range—50,000. Signal
stable. We have reception!”

They gave the command to reproduce the image. Again it was up to the FTU.
On the paper, line by line a gray image was emerging. It was a circle on which
you could distinguish details if you had a sufficiently active imagination. Korolev couldn’t stand it and burst in on us in the cramped room.

“Well, what have you got there?

“We have determined that the Moon is round,” I replied.

Boguslavskiy pulled the paper with the recorded image out of the machine,
showed it to Korolev, and calmly tore it up. S.P. didn’t even lose his temper.

“Why so soon, Yevgeniy Yakovlevich? After all, this is the first, you see, the first!”

“It’s bad. All sorts of junk. We’ll clean up the interference and the next frames will come out right.”

Gradually, one after the other the frames appeared more and more distinctly. We
cheered and congratulated one another. Boguslavskiy assured us that everything
would be much better on the film we would develop in Moscow. Already quite late,
after parting with our fellow participants in the “campaign” on Mount Koshka, we
departed once again for “our health resort.” This time Korolev allowed Ostashev to ride with us. I shared a luxurious suite with him. At supper the ban was lifted on the consumption of wines from the government wine cellars.

I dunno, that sounds extremely burdensome to me, especially if the actual payload is small.

And how exactly does exchanging schemas solve the problem? If my version of the schema says this field is required but yours says it is optional, and so you don't send it, what am I supposed to do?
I've always been excited about zero copy messages in the context of its potential in database systems; the thought of tuples working their way all the way from btree nodes in a pager, to query results on the network without copies seems fantastic.

But every time I've tried to prototype or implement around this model I've run into conceptual blocks. It's a tricky paradigm to fully wrap one's head around, and to squeeze into existing toolsets.
Ha! Yup, one of my friends who has been working with "transformer models" for years now told me "oh yeah, it's a bullshitter" when I tried my hand and got some truly bizarre, digressive, "addled", etc. output.

OTOH, it reminded me very much of my own mind (reinforced by ADHD, in my case).

This suggests to me, at least, that "the problem" isn't these models, per se. It's more like: these are probably only one module / layer in a system more similar to our brains. Just as scientists have identified distinct regions (more) involved in, say, language production, or (direct) visual perception, or etc., I'd suggest we've only just built the first substantially more practical / realistic hack / simulation (much like 3D game engines almost always use hacks - e.g., not even using the simple "Newtonian optics" model fully [i.e., "ray tracing"]) of a sort of language cortex. I'd further guess that it's going to take some maturation of a number of methods, technologies, etc. to realistically add more "cortices", but, I do think it's quite likely to happen in approx. the "decades" range...

Highly highly speculative - rather naively based on the way other technologies have developed and with a little basis in work I've done more directly in neurobio etc. No deep(er) reason / analysis, but, just my current very tentative hypothesis.
Certainly not, sorry. My whole data for 10 years takes just ~1.4Mb. I can easy export them and parse, migrate to another device in a second and also make a backup instantly.
