There’s a fair argument to make against device attention, but casting the exclusion of rooted devices as the goal of the policy rather than a side effect is a bit disingenuous.
This explains why some of the most polluting and damaging companies can be the most woke in their training and marketing. This has led to a major backlash with some companies now advertising themselves as anti-ESG. Splitting out the scores that are determined by independent agencies (not fund managers) could maybe improve the situation, but the botched history will impede any efforts to reform.
The internet isn't free if you have to give up your privacy for invasive ads and tracking in order to read a recipe on a blog.
"horse paste" -- too bad. You were doing so well up to there.

Some of that censoring is ridiculous. Can't make recipes for spicy food? Can't tell me about The Titanic? Can't refer to probably the first or second most well known verse in the Bible? Yikes, that goes way beyond "censoring".
> Obviously more targeted ads perform better.

Do we honestly know if that's true in any meaningful way? It also depends on what you mean by targeted. If it's advertising power tools to someone who's clearly searching things related to DIY, sure, make sense. If we mean: "Push this product to men between 30 and 40, who works in construction and have 2 kids" then I'd love to see an A/B test that suggested that a broader campaign isn't cheaper and equally effective. You're cutting of a lot of potential customers when you're targeting is to narrow and I don't think that's accounted for in general.
Surprise surprise. I was going to DC a lot during 2008-2009, when the economy was not in good shape. The place felt untouched. Expensive restaurants everywhere full of people, and everyone bustling about with their little lapel pins that notated the department they worked for, like little aristocrats.

DC is a bubble. They don't live in the real world there.
It has proven untenable to treat this with law enforcement. It's too susceptible to bias, and creates a large class of people labeled as "criminals" the rest of their lives. It demonstrates an incredible lack of imagination that a large percentage of Americans can't see any way to handle this other than making things illegal, especially when we have a clear analog with alcohol.

If most people can handle having alcohol readily available, then those same people should be able to have other drugs readily available.

I once worked with a PhD who claimed that basically any novel bit of coding was a "research problem", and thus not worth bothering. Using a hashtable to speed up an algorithm? Research problem. Using raw TCP instead of HTTP for a long running connection? Research problem. Implementing a graph algorithm you could read up on Wikipedia? Research problem. I think it was only when I solved three of those "research problems" in one week that he finally shut up.
When I'm working on large purchases-- complex software systems usually-- I often have questions. Engineers want to do engineer-ish things, they usually don't want to talk to people who have questions like this.

It is, indeed, fascinating how little respect workers have for each other. Any little concession they can offer an employer to screw over the guy beside them, they will take it.

Unionization helps develop somewhat of a brotherhood to keep the nastiness at bay, but even then the members generally want to keep it an exclusive club, not something for all workers to join. As a result even union members still see external pressure from the workers outside of the union still trying to them screw over.
Something about a giant fridge being powered by some small Apple brick gives me shivers. I guess it's doable but it feels wrong.

How NOT to onboard a new developer
I started a side project for the first time in ages with the goal of actually shipping something but then covid hit us, life got in the way, etc etc and got stuck for the last few months.

It's a way to create and manage WireGuard networks, called WireHub. Website that has nothing is at www.wirehub.org
As someone who minored in neuroscience, I took away that edge detection is actually quite important to the way your vision works. Google search "center-surround receptive field of retinal ganglion cells". This happens in your eye, before the signal even enters the optic nerve to go to the brain. The brain itself is not detecting the edges; its input already has that information.

I was also struck by the similarity between the way your cochlea (the organ in your ear that picks up sound waves) functions, and the way a Fourier transform works. They both transform the signal into the frequency domain, but your cochlea does it via its mechanical properties rather than by convolving the signal with a bunch of sine waves.
And do these resources depict the reality, or are they maybe renderings?
> It is a fact today that one in ten thousand of us can make a technological breakthrough capable of supporting all the rest.

What's super interesting to me, lot of countries that you would expect to be behind the US on that topic actually have state-of-the-art banking techs. Even the EU is behind some of the stuff I've seen in LATAM.
I was appalled to see that most of the orb locations were NOT in western nations. This is an obvious attempt to collect biometric/human data for training purposes, by taking advantage of populations of developing nations, by giving them fake money.

The Commonwealth Saga has so much world building and depth to it - with a really wide selection of characters and ideas. Some of which make people uncomfortable, but IMO that is the point of all speculative fiction - "what if?"
Is poverty, the amount of time spent in a car, or boredom anything new since 1980? If anything we (they) are less bored, constantly stimulated.

Since there has been a large increase in deaths of despair specifically, I'm inclined to blame the spike in accessibility of addictions. In 1980 you could maybe become an alcoholic or addicted to cigarettes, or gambling if you went out of your way. Now you have alcohol, 1000 forms of nicotine, gambling at your fingertips, social media, porn, fentanyl, meth, ...

Some of these addictions, like fentanyl, will kill you directly. The others just make you check out from life, and eventually, living.
Paragraph 2 refers to purchasing the username instead of domain. Is the article written by AI, or poorly proofread?
yes developers increasingly are advocating against these buildings.

I'm sure it's not technically terribly difficult to add a staircase, but it's added time and expense and restricts architects in what they can do.

what the resistance to WFH makes explicit is that when companies hire workers they don't really conceive of it as buying their labour, they conceive of it as taking control of them for eight hours and dictating how they have to behave.

That's the real reason why WFH faces so much resistance. When people are done with their work they can just play with their kid or do what they want, and it becomes obvious how much, using Foucault's analogy, of a prison aimed to discipline the office is.
An entertaining liar. That... explains some things.

But I think it's more than just being interesting/entertaining. I think Trump also tells lies that a large number of people want to believe.

But this may be changing. Trump's lies aren't nearly as entertaining anymore. "I won in 2020" is like, "Really? You're still on that? Get some new material." "All these court cases are just incompetent people, jealousy, conspiracy, and election interference!" Yeah, right. You're saying the same thing over and over (as the court cases keep coming). It's been getting repetitive. There's nothing new there any more.

surprising to see nobody's mentioned ngspice, wr-spice, or omedit (the openmodelica editor), all of which are open-source free software capable of simulating circuits

(though ngspice has had some licensing issues in the past i think those are fixed now)

you can get spice models for just about any part on the market and use them in ngspice, wr-spice, or the original berkeley spice, though not falstad's circuit.js or omedit

relevant to this week's tantalizing superconductor news, wr-spice is the only one with a decent josephson junction model

Seems like it might now become much easier to post a clip on YouTube that looks like an authentic BBC clip, logo and all. If generative AI gets that good, how will you be able to tell whether a particular piece of media comes from a trusted source?

I grew up in the area and don't think it's really fair to compare Arlington, VA to San Francisco. The corridors where all of the residential development has occurred in Arlington in the last 30 years were all basically condemned shopping or office parks. Clarendon/Wilson Blvd, Columbia Pike, Route 1, Rosslyn. All of those areas were relatively cheap land and zoned such that they could build large residential towers and mixed-use shopping centers. They are also almost all on or near metro lines. I've only lived in the Bay Area for a few years but I don't see the same opportunities in SF proper.
these numbers must be taken with a grain of salt given the rampant amount of bots / onlyfans / spam users.

At a time when “people” seem easily manipulated and focused on their fully believing their personal feeds of curated outrage. They often don’t apply the screens/filters they should be because of the apparent social proofs, trust, and biases they have with the content. Contemporary journalists hardly do any fact/source checks as it is. So they’ll begin reporting on some of this, giving it further credibility and it’s just a downward spiral. So, more of the same, yay!
Good point! Still, a big reason why the reason why the KF is a staple is that it’s really really fast. When I’ve used tools like the ones that you mentioned, it was normally not for inference not in a feedback loop. I’m less familiar with message passing methods than Monte Carlo methods but I’m going to look into them now

I lived in Arlington and DC later in the 2010s and it was an incredibly vibrant and diverse city. WASPs are everywhere but so are the younger diverse crowd around U Street, H Street, and Columbia Heights. As well as the huge Ethiopian and Vietnamese populations, with incredible food.
> Obviously more targeted ads perform better.

If that's true at all, it depends on the targeting. Consider the classic "I bought a toilet seat, so now Amazon gives me loads of suggestions to buy more of them". I remain convinced that lots of ads are poorly or incorrectly targeted with the results that the additional information didn't actually help them and may have even hurt them.

The CS101 implementation of a Vector is that the data is only moved when the size of the vector reaches k*a^n where n is an integer and a is usually 2.

Then the time it takes to move the vector to a new location is amortized as the vector grows. Then push() takes constant time.

So the CS101 is optimal for the study of computer science.

That's not how it works. Llama and Llama 2's raw model is not "censored". Their fine tunes often are, either explicitly, like Facebook's own chat fine tune of llama 2, or inadvertently, because they trained with data derived from chatGPT, and chatGPT is "censored".

When models are "uncensored", people are just tweaking the data used for fine tuning and training the raw models on it again.

I'm not saying that worldcoin isn't bad, but my time is literally my life. If I could make as much money selling my biometric data as I do working, I'd rather do that instead.

So it seems to me that the crux isn't that people sell biometric data, but that they don't make enough off it.

The problem also is that Google is making lot of grandiose announcements about tools and models that nobody can see nor use. This is a serious credibility problem in the long-term.
>Is there a way to do this in HTML?

Of course but it seems like you're not asking the right question. Are you in control of the HTML content or are you using some sort of platform? In the latter case, you need to be asking "can I do this in Wordpress" or whatever.

P.S. I think "best viewed" is the wrong way to put it. Maybe say "Firefox is recommended" and state your reasoning.
I've seen this in person. It's such a beautiful piece! Note the details in the background and the 3D perspective of the frame. Easy to miss but when you focus, you see great thought and detail that goes into the piece.
Excellent, I will take look into this.
Easy, if you do nothing the market deems productive, be it playing games all day or tutoring poor kids in maths, you only get the UBI which equals ~minimum survivability income.

If you do 30 hours of plumbing a week for 80$ an hour, you make that UBI + 2400$ a week (or wherever the market seems your work worth).

There is always an incentive to do more, and especially as long as the market incenctivises/rewards more or less useful things (e.g. externalities get properly accounted for), then people which aren't content with bare survivability will at least for part of their time do something deemed "useful" or undesirable.
It's just not safe.
It's unusable. you can't ask it normal questions to not get stonewalled by it's default censorship message - it wouldn't even work for commercial case.
Washington DC != Arlington and the surrounding regions. They're not interchangeable. Saying DC avoided the price increases (it didn't) is disingenuous. DC is horrifically expensive for a small city. Outside of DC is barely "DC". It's not very walkable and not very metro accessible except along the silver line corridor. If you're going to live in Arlington it begs the question of "why even live there unless you have to".You could probably live anywhere else since the character-less high rise apartments and strip malls are copy and pasted for every other new development style in the country. I was just in Bellevue in Seattle and for all I knew it could have been Arlington. The development style was literally the same

What I've seen is that Arlington and the surrounding counties only seem to draw people in if they HAVE to be there. Everyone else I know left to literally anywhere else since it really doesn't bring much to the table.
A company could come up with a more understandable (and more actionable) explanation by running some what-if scenarios. Make small tweaks to the input to the neural net until the net stops rejecting the account, then tell the customer how those inputs differ from their actual data.

For example, if tweaking the input to remove 5% of the chargebacks and the account passes you tell the customer their account was suspended for having too high a chargeback rate.

It's orthogonal.

Classmates of Sarkozy's and Lagardère's kids at École Jeannine Manuel will continue to leverage their network from there no matter if they attended a Grande école or a random generic university. And there are plenty of schools like those to this day in France.

This is the exact kind of network that Americans complain about with regards to legacy.

Most HNers did well enough on their SATs and ACTs to attend a target public school or non-legacy private like UC Berkeley or MIT respectively, and around 75% of students at Harvard didn't get in via Legacy admissions yet we (rightfully) still complain about that 25% who leveraged their network and class background to get in.
