One thing about facets is it probably depends a lot on what kind of data you have - you have retail data you know very well what your facets are - shoes, men's wear, women's wear, accessories etc. etc.

If you have a large number of historical documents that have been scanned in you probably think you know what your facets are but there are also likely to be one's that you miss, thus you want to do some sort of facet extraction to determine what you have and combine that with the facets you have defined.

Obviously not every facet that is found will be ones you want, for example when I was at Thompson Reuters we did a facet extraction on all Danish laws and cases and one of the facets was Knife Killing, which was not useful to know.

Reminds me of the transit station built in China in the middle of nowhere that attracted some international attention, Caojiawan Station.

This CNN article shows some good pictures in 2017; https://edition.cnn.com/travel/article/chongqing-china-metro... . It's just a concrete nub nestling in some undergrowth.

“Caojiawan Station may not be in the most popular area for now,” one worker told Chinese media company Manner Video, a Chinese digital video production company. “But with the development of the rail route, it’s possible that it’ll attract more people to the area and help hasten urban development along the line.”

Well, somebody sure decided to build right next to it: https://en.rattibha.com/thread/1647469687335428097

Hi everyone, author here. Just to note that this is just Part 1 of a multi-part series.

I’d love to cover some of the real world applications of Transputers in Part 2 so please share if you think of interest.
The only time I would buy box wine, in my younger days, was when going to a music festival. Usually Glastonbury where the camping and fun starts a full two days before the festival proper.

The reason for the box wine? When you've finished it you can inflate the bag to use as a camping pillow.
+1 for the Seiko 5. It may by now considered to be a meme watch (I've no idea, I just know it became famous outside the watch community too so it may be considered a bit "normie") but if I didn't buy and get a lot of use out of my Apple Watch I'd be wearing my Seiko 5 all the time, and would have likely picked up another. There are a few models but they are all, to my eyes, good looking and mine is pretty solid.
You are right. The site is not fast because of Assembly, it is simply well designed.

Assembly, however, pushes towards healthier design choices. You have to keep things simple since you are the one who pays for the complexity, not a third-party library providers who use several third-party libraries themselves.
I remember reading about the proposed idea back on A List Apart like 12 years ago and thinking it was an interesting idea yet surprisingly have only seen them adopted widely in the last ~5 years.
While the Transputer had very limited success, all modern server CPUs have inherited its method of structuring the interfaces of a CPU.

At that time (around 1984), and also during the next quarter of a century, almost all CPUs had interfaces based on an universal bus, possibly shared with other processors in a multiprocessor system, like the Intel CPUs until as late as 2008.

On the other hand the Transputer had interfaces partitioned into a fast communication link with other processors (like now the inter-socket links), a local memory interface (like now DDR5) and a local peripheral interface (like now PCIe).

After the disappearance of Transputers, this system architecture has been revived in some late DEC Alpha CPUs, then AMD has launched Opteron in 2003, with the help of some members of the DEC Alpha team, and eventually, 6 years later, Intel has followed the AMD model with Nehalem.

Now nobody makes server CPUs that do not have Transputer-like intefaces.
Oh wow, that sucks. Glad I was able to get one when I was there in March. Tourists can still use https://www.jreast.co.jp/multi/en/welcomesuica/welcomesuica.... though it seemed like a worse deal than a regular card when I was there.
They can. The question is whether they would choose to or not.
They asked whether this paper was worth reading, because the English wasn't conventional in their dialect.

I'm pointing out that that isn't a good way to screen papers, because most English speakers don't share the same dialect.

Perhaps unstated or understated is the implication that, were you to discard papers in this way, you're liable to miss out.

I'll leave it to you whether that added information. That wasn't really my goal in this case, my goal was to respond to the question in the manner I viewed appropriate. Feel free to downvote my comment if you don't feel it was appropriate or informative or otherwise didn't uphold whatever criteria you're judging it by.
So. Two things I don't like about this.

1. The analogy in your first paragraph isn't right, it wouldn't be like someone giving you money, it would be like someone intercepting your pay, doing all your payments, and then giving you only a small fraction to spend with for the month.

2. I dislike this "it's a cheat" thing. It makes it sound like it's easy on semaglutide. Which as someone who's been on it for a year or so... I can tell you. It's not easy. So when people say it's easy or a cheat or whatever. It diminishes the reasons why people are on it. It also makes the assumption that the people who are on it, didn't do anything else first. They just jumped straight onto the meds, diminishing their struggles before it.

I had tremendous problems losing weight, I'm a runner, I put in about 50km running each week, I would fight myself to not eat. I refused to drink, because that would lead to eating. I lived a miserable life. But more importantly my knees were getting damaged by the weight. So in the last year I lost the weight, because the one thing I couldn't fight with just willpower alone (eating), was suddenly far easier to fight.

That full feeling. That's one thing it does (which diminishes over time btw). The other thing it does is it totally removes the constant "what am I going to eat" thoughts in my head.

Imagine waking up, and you're already planning lunch, you skip breakfast to eat less calories. So when lunch comes, and something gets in the way of you eating.. you get furious. Same with dinner.. the whole day is consumed by thoughts of eating.

That's now gone.
Death does not mean illness or loss of autonomy. Death is where we came from before birth, and where we return when we die again. The particles of our body are composed of others present and past. The self is an illusion, manifesting as ego.
You can just use LD_PRELOAD to load your own version of ptrace. Not as stealthy though.

They use Claude 2 as AI backend with a 100K context window. In my experience Claude is better at programming than GPT-4 because it has a much younger cut-off date and because of the context window to process knowledge.
Halluzination happens with all LLM's.
The thing is, IMO, everyone has a hiring problem.

It is very easy to hire one bad player, and he takes the team down, and (in most jurisdictions) it is hard to lay them off.

The reason is, no one who knows what it is required, wants to do the hiring.
In its first ten years, the internet had proven extremely valuable to most people using it.

The same for the web.

There were and are scams, but there was value.

The cryptocurrency space, 15 years in, has failed to do that.
Imo, the difference is in the focus. The passive voice version makes the "support of the new constitution" the most important thing the sentence is about. The active voice makes "Thomas Jefferson" the most important thing the sentence is about.

So, it really depends on what the rest of the paragraph is supposed to be about.
I apologize for crossing this rule, but I head to weigh this against the rule that asks for original sources. A google-translate link would not do, I guessed?

I couldn't find an NLTimes article (yet) since this isn't enshrined into law.

Yes agreed, the original developer is not bound since they still retain the copyright. I meant to say 'reproducing' the code, not 'producing'. Only the developers of derived code are restricted.
Right, but the root of the problem is that secondary education in the US is abysmally bad in many places, so a diploma from a US high school is mostly worthless. Requiring additional catch-up education is just a band-aid, and now with that being watered down, employers will want to see graduate degrees. That's even more money, and more time: employees will be almost 30 by the time they're ready to work.

The solution is to fix secondary education, but there's no political will to do that.
Problems aren't resolved unless people shine a light on the problems.
I think the fact that millions of people want (and try) to lose weight, but fail, over and over again, is 100% proof that will power does not matter in the slightest. These drugs like Wegovy, Ozempic, etc are showing everyone that we don't consciously control our appetite. Our bodies and our brains will betray us and take control despite whatever our desires may be. Hopefully people start to view obesity with more compassion and less blame on the people who have the disease.
No, of course we need to act and continue to act. We need to reduce the amount of Co2 emitted to prevent aggravating the crises and then we need to turn it back.

The climate crises is one which will take more than one generation to fix. But the fight is worthwhile and not impossible to win.
Crypto is trying to fix a social problem (currency) with technology, with obvious outcomes. It's not about empowering a new generation of solutions or allowing the unbanked access to financial services. It's about replacing the current money masters with techbros.

Thankfully, they've mostly shifted to AI scams now.

But... coding can?
I wouldn't put it in prod, but it would be possible. You'd need a JS binding layer that dealt with the output and wrote it to the page, but it could be minimal.

There are other projects that are targeted more at this kind of thing if you want dynamic access to the DOM from Web Assembly (sorry I don't know them off the top of my head).

More then a decade I made the decision to kill myself. Came within a few millimeters from succeeding. My mother caught me in the backyard wearing a sweater and jeans drenched in gasoline with a lighter in my hand. My mother was never really athletic or decisive, but she moved as faster then I'd have ever seen her in my life. Hugged me hard and refused to let go no matter how hard I struggled. Took me longer to realize why she was doing that. For me to burn, I'd have to burn her as well... and she knew damned well I could never do that.

The only reason I'm here is for her sake, but only just. After she is gone that there's little else that compels me to stay.

It's not as if I'm unafraid of dying. It frightens me just as much as it does you. But even now don't find living to be more appealing, for reasons I cannot remember anymore. I'm just here, a clock in the shape of a person that's waiting to die.
After 10 years in software development, going from junior to lead, I still fail to see the benefit of sprints. The best performing teams that I have been part of all worked around it, in order to make the team look good, in the eyes of the customer whom we sold Scrum to.

For features, I'd say that Kanban works better, when mixed with ideas from Scrum. Most of Scrum's ceremonies are useful without sprints, and gives, in my experience, the same value to managers as they do in Scrum. The overhead in administration and time that sprints bring are not worth it at all, though. And if management wants, commitments and planning can be done against a deadline, in the same way they'd do with sprints, just without the artificial short periods.

The tweet however contains lots of bad management, and general bullshit otherwise.

"Imagine having a manager, a scrum master, a product owner, and a tech lead. You had to answer to all of them and none simultaneously." I think this is fantastic, not having a single boss, but having different "hats". One person can also have multiple, for different projects. In my experience, this worked out well.

T-shirt and poker.... I don't see why they don't work as analogies, and therefore this is moot criticism.

Even the author himself acknowledges: that wasn't scrum, they were doing scrum wrong. So stop doing scrum? Why not do scrum better? What makes him think that the same bad management will do any other methodology better?
If there's herd behavior, it's because it's so easy to cite examples of crypto fraud and false promises, and for many (but not all) in the tech sector fraud is verboten.

> Yes, in 1970s England, my junior school added a new swimming pool,

I attended an elementary school that had an olympic swimming pool, which was built just from parent donations because it didn't cost much at all to build. Dig a hole, pour some concrete, done.

Today I can't think of any elementary school around here that has any kind of swimming pool (let alone an olympic one) because it would take millions of dollars for permits and other BS fees.
I think the opposite is true - they were very much behind the rise of crypto, and now they're just divesting and it's naturally collapsing back to a niche technology.

This is the major difference. There is an explicit understanding using the licence that the user shall pay 5% of the revenue post 1M in sales. However in Meta's case there is no such clarity . You are completely at the mercy of Meta once you have a functionality that depends on LLAMA and the business wont have any negotiating power. Entering in these potential situations is a strategic blunder and the best way to handle it is to pre-emptively avoid this path.

>The developer/investor wants to produce a good product so that it will sell at a high price and the buyer has the chance to inspect the property before purchasing

That should be a solution. But not usually that simple, sadly

The developer/investor wants to produce a product that LOOKS good so that it will sell at a high price. Read the other comments about quality

And, those investors often sell the property before it is finished or before it’s even started. So you have the same problem, with a longer chain of middlemen

It is really neat to visit cities with a functioning transit system. Whenever I'm on business trips, I actually enjoy purchasing a 3-7 day ticket (depending on how long we stay) instead of taking taxis or ubers around. Just getting on the train, go somewhere, and take a look. Still haven't been robbed, assaulted, or experienced anything too bad - but that of course depends on where you are. (Tokyo felt super safe)
> Regarding the passive: you should read Joseph M. Williams' "Style: Ten Lessons in Clarity and Grace" that discusses where the passive voice is preferable to the active voice. Namely when it creates better cohesion and flow.

Remember to never split an infinitive. The passive voice should never be used. Do not put statements in the negative form. Verbs have to agree with their subjects. Proofread carefully to see if you words out. If you reread your work, you can find on rereading a great deal of repetition can be avoided by rereading and editing. A writer must not shift your point of view. And don't start a sentence with a conjunction. (Remember, too, a preposition is a terrible word to end a sentence with.) Don't overuse exclamation marks!! Place pronouns as close as possible, especially in long sentences, as of 10 or more words, to their antecedents. Writing carefully, dangling participles must be avoided. If any word is improper at the end of a sentence, a linking verb is. Take the bull by the hand and avoid mixing metaphors. Avoid trendy locutions that sound flaky. Everyone should be careful to use a singular pronoun with singular nouns in their writing. Always pick on the correct idiom. The adverb always follows the verb. Last but not least, avoid cliches like the plague; seek viable alternatives.

> Nabokov is the exception that proves the rule. Great writers have earned the right to be wordy. When an average writer tries write like Nabokov, we call it purple prose.

When an average writer tries write like Hemmingway, the prose is boring and unreadable. It reads like highschool summary report of the story rather then story.

Also, in non-fiction, writers who use the shortest possible way to express things are super hard to read. Meantime, writers who use more space are often much easier to understand.
Weirdly content-less article. The only real point it makes is that classical music is superior to others since people like it because they actually like it and not because just because it's avant-garde or a "political statement". Of course, that's really weird, since classical music very often contains significant philosophical, religious, and political themes.

Note this isn't merely a Chinese thing. A variation of this is in fact the default way new units get build and sold in the Netherlands, for example.

Personal anecdote. I had a mortgage for 2 full years before being able to move in to my apartment because I bought it before a single stone was laid. The way this works here is that the money is held into an escrow account for most of time, with the construction company only receiving payments in installments (e.g. 'roof finished'). Lastly, the final 5% of the purchase amount is held back until 3 months after the unit is finished, which can be extended if large defects are found. Bankruptcy risk was covered with an insurance, which was a condition to the mortgage.

I would certainly do so. Like their paper, it is quite poor, and not helpful for this forum. Unfortunately, /u/dang has removed my ability to downvote.
The Uighur genocide and other hugely determinant ambiguous events are endemic to modern life. It almost seems like a feature than a bug.

There are so many iterations of this same phenomena- some hugely impactful moral question is poised, but the basic facts are never clearly established, just the allegations. Was Epstein controlling global elites with sex trafficking? Did the CIA kill JFK? Are aliens real and on Earth? Are there DNA targeted bioweapons in Ukraine? Is China genociding the Uighur? All of these questions are of huge moral import, but seemingly unanswerable. Rather, the fact that officials could answer them definitively, but do not, makes it appear as if the answer is 'yes'. However, I think the point of the questions themselves isn't to establish truth. Instead, the implications of the questions themselves further control, whatever the answer is. Either the CIA really did kill JFK, or they want the question to remain open, to increase the perception of their power. Either way, they don't want the question answered, they want it open.

Your question about the status of the Uighurs is rational and earnest, but the question itself might be purely instrumental for governmental control. That's why there's always commenters that will abuse the request for proof. The reality isn't the point, the point is to angry at China.
