As a lawyer working on these topics, this is a poor phrasing. EU regulators don't need to "war" with advertisers - they have complete control over them. There's no other side of this war, just regulators issuing commands that industry tries to follow.

It's confusing as a war is because the regulators decided not to make the law say, 'behavioral advertising is illegal,' and instead have spent years slowly awakening to that conclusion, at the cost of zillions of dollars in legal fees.
I don't really understand singling out the specific combination of (advertising, behavioral targeting). The problems with behaviorally tailored content delivery products exist even if advertisers cannot directly monetize it. I think the focus on advertising is a real red-herring.
I plainly did not say that there was nothing to do about it, but I appreciate your enthusiastic defense of the forests. Unless we stop clear-cutting in the short term, there won't be any rainforests left by the time the temperatures hit 45C.

It is just a matter of convention and I see no logic behind why any convention would be worse or wrong. But I believe if 'any' implies 'at least one' so should 'all' otherwise they use different conventions.

One corollary is that a zero-dimensional array has exactly one element, whereas a 1-dimensional array can have zero elements (can have length zero). It took me a while to wrap my head around this.
Yes it does. The whole idea that grassroots organizations and - gasp - actual voters are behind the DPD and later the GDPR is something that some people have problems with, they would prefer it if the EU government was playing some shady protectionist game rather than to work on behalf of EU citizens, who very much appreciate them standing up to big telcos and big tech.

Google is so afraid of the EU legislators that they have literally plastered the whole of Brussels Airport ('Zaventem' for the locals) with wall to wall ads on how fantastically pro-end-user privacy they are. It's comical.
I think a problem with AI is that it is used so much by people that don't really know a field. Like middle management. I heard those fools claiming that a complete IT project took a couple of minutes to do with ChatGPT. The same crazy people that said 5 years ago that all devs will be replaced by low-code by some years ago. Incompetent people will use AI the most. That is a risk.

There is no death of ChatGPT in sight. Even if the UX was a bit of a hoax to begin with. It would be if some of the other models beat it.

I just had a look at two of my non-Tetley teabags. They appear to be stitched closed with the end of the string. Why does it need plastic?

Edit: The quote from the FAQ mentions the bags being biodegradable, and this page [1] about their "new biodegradable bags" shows a photo of bags without strings. So maybe it's just these stringless (and presumably cheaper to manufacture?) bags that contain plastic?

The Twinings FAQ [2] doesn't mention plastic: "Our teabags are biodegradable, plant-based teabags and will break down within 6 months if placed into a local authority compost caddy, though it may not compost as quickly if left in garden compost (as typically these are not sufficiently hot)."

Marketplaces are very keenly positioned for advertising as there is deep buyer intent. Amazon[0] looks to have a pretty sizable ad business. I have anecdotally observed that this is a recent trend related to the downturn. Of course, ads have always been very prevalent but as companies saw contraction they scrambled to plug revenue with ads. Netflix being an example that recanted its long held "no ads" policy. Apple's advertising business has grown substantially as well. For marketplaces, ads are a logical (if annoying) way to make money and that trend is unlikely to reverse.

45C average is insane! but thankfully a worst-case scenario - not the current situation.

Here is the present day temperature readings, from the abstract:

>>> Here we found that pantropical canopy temperatures independently triangulated from individual leaf thermocouples, pyrgeometers and remote sensing (ECOSTRESS) have midday peak temperatures of approximately 34 °C during dry periods, with a long high-temperature tail that can exceed 40 °C.

There are two categories of technologies that tend to land in that price range. There are things that cause existing rocks to react with CO2 faster (such as crushing olivine), and there are ones that use a combination of electricity and catalysts / reversible chemical reactions to either concentrate the CO2 or cause it to fix to some abundant chemical.

They are all quite pie in the sky in the sense that they're mostly startups with no operational experience in large scale chemical manufacturing trying to build up plants (and organizations to build the plants) from scratch.

However, at least some of them rely on bog-standard chemistry, and the chemistry only requires chemical reactions that we already perform at industrial scale.

I get the distinct impression that if US said it was going to federalize any oil company that still had net CO2 emissions in 2028 (and also suspend any patents in this space as part of an emergency action), the logistics would magically work themselves out. I'd guess it would only cost a few weeks of oil industry profits (so, ~ $10B) total to prove out a half dozen technologies. At that point, many copies of the top two or three plants could be replicated out globally.
Why can I not relate to the majority of them? It's a basic feature of empathy.
That sounds like an ok reason to me. But I'll settle for 'damage them to the point that they come to their senses'.
I've had trouble where the build fails with various TS#### error messages, most of the time there was some change in Typescript syntax. I guess if you use those bounds you have less of those problems.
There are some survey reports on this out there that I have seen. It is common for more expensive teas, and ones labeled "organic" to be plant fibers only, but there are exceptions. If you want to figure it out on your own, you can take an empty teabag, briefly set it on fire and blow it out, then smell the smoke. Personally, I usually pour the contents into my cup or tea pot and throw out the teabag.

In my days of fighting paranormal activities and beliefs (homeopathy, wells witchers, ...) we were usually told that we do not have open minds and do not accept anything outside of our limited science.

For one, you need to have an open mind, but be careful to not your brain fall off (https://youtu.be/RFO6ZhUW38w?si=1Snzh3lhFJ6d381g&t=12)

Then, we were very much interested in seeing these unusual things happening. As I mentioned it in a previous comment, I declared at the radio that I would immediately switch my PhD topic (in physics) to study them. Because, you know, Nobel prize. I did not get to see anything unusual, did a uneventful PhD and, well, do not have said Nobel prize.

But the important thing was: I wanted to measure. To have an experiment where what was unusual would be measurable. This means that tests with well diggers were a complete failure when they were asked to find water in controlled conditions.

OTOH, they were good when in the wild because (probably) they could read the landscape and see signs of water (conscientiously or not).

Same with homeopathy: when I have a headache I get an aspirin and before it had time to reach my stomach I feel better. I also once swam away from what I thought were sharks and I probably broke a swimming record because my arms were moving like a blender.

This is to say that scientists do not limi themselves - they just want to see and measure something to say that this is a thing. Unfortunately as soon as they do it the whole paranormal things fall apart. But we are still hoping.
They literally are. CSS modules as a concept and any existing specs are very explicitly Javascript only and target Javascript only.

Yes, you could do a similar thing in other languages, and people will, but simply by definition those are not CSS Modules, and might diverge from the actual "standard" (which it isn't yet)

I suspect some of those are shills.

The problem with eBay auctions is the time limit. It pays to "snipe" them one second before the close. I realized this in the early days of eBay, and within a few months everybody knew it.

eBay could fix this by not closing an auction if there are bids within the last 5 minutes, but they show no inclination to.
You're describing Vagrant.
I can imagine a world where advertising is good in the sense that it's always relevant, but such a world places heavier weight on ad "fit" than on the advertiser's bid for that ad inventory. For example, it's a bad user experience when you search for a product/vendor and the first result is their competitor instead because they bid more for that ad placement.

Unfortunately, I don't see how "good" advertising can exist outside of small niches with the economic incentives being what they are.

> chain rule is defined for partial derivatives

I agree. That's what I'm referring to as 'the ordinary chain rule'.

No. Go try to derive backprop for general DAGs using only the chain rule. If you complete the proof, then you will agree that the proof was more elaborate than you ever expected.

There's licensing around selling food. I wouldn't be against "license to practice software development," but I'd note that (a) that's a very different world than the one we live in and (b) I don't know that most of the open source software we enjoy, hack on, and bemoan would exist in a universe where licensing standards made every software engineer who had authored it beholden to a minimum standard of quality before distributing it.

Would apache have survived in a world where software engineers, or their software, had to be quality-certified? Would MySQL? Would Linux?

The Nazis were preceded by, and did not coin that term: https://skeptics.stackexchange.com/questions/30683/is-if-you...

I don't know much about surveillance in Nazi Germany, but do know that East Germany and the Soviet Union were infamous for it. So if you define present-day political factions based on the actions of their near-century-old relatives (and ignore their present-day preferences), then surveillance is both far-right and far-left.

Then look at how moderate parties simply go along with increasing surveillance, or how bipartisan PATRIOT act extensions are, and conclude that surveillance is also a centrist position.

Attributing mass surveillance to any section of the 1-D political spectrum is misleading at best, deceptive at worst.

I read all the classic negotiations books and think this one is the only one you need to read. IMO its core idea is NOT "how am I supposed to do that", as other posters say, but the role of empathy and uncovering hidden information in high-stakes (or even regular) negotiations
> None at this time, but until the advent of modern cryptography, the same was true of primality.

I'm not sure that this is true, at least if you are flexible about what counts as an ‘application’. The concept of divisibility, and then of primality, surely developed from considerations of how a certain number of objects could, or could not, be broken into groups, say for storage or transport. To know that there are several ways to group 24 objects, but only two (trivial) ways to group 23 objects, is an application, even if it's not especially sophisticated.

Actually by 'ordinary chain rule' I am referring to what you're referring to as 'the chain rule for partial derivatives'. It seems like backprop follows very quickly even from that, but it does not.

monoid, not monad

---

a monoid is a set A with an associative binary operator @ on it: that is, for any a, b, c

a @ (b @ c) = (a @ b) @ c

and it also has an "identity" element I, that is, for any a:

a @ I = I @ a = a

common monoids: integers under addition (i.e. @ is addition, the identity is 0), nonzero real numbers under multiplication, lists under concatenation, booleans under AND (identity is True), booleans under OR (what's the identity?), ...

now, when you have a mathematical structure, you often want to study functions between two of them. so you might ask what a reasonable notion of functions between monoids is

one nice way is if, given two monoids, M with operation @ and unit I, and N with operation ^ and unit J, we had a function f for which:

f(I) = J

f(a @ b) = f(a) ^ f(b)

this is loosely described as the function "respecting the structure" of the monoids, and such functions are called monoid homomorphisms or just homomorphisms if the context is clear

--

with that background, we see that `all` should really be be a homomorphism from the monoid of lists (under concatenation, with the empty list as the identity element) to the monoid of booleans under AND (with True as the identity)

this means that

all(concat(list1, list2)) = and(all(list1), all(list2))

or, in python,

all(a + b) = all(a) and all(b)

and, of course, all([]) = True!

the value here is that now you can reason about the all() of two lists by thinking about the all() of sublists, and the conditions required for a homomorphism guarantee that the empty list is not an edge case:

all([T, F]) = all([]) and all([T, F]) = all([T]) and all([F]) = ...

and that it doesn't matter how you cut up a list into sublists and what order you apply the concatenations in to reconstruct it
So does Emacs. Excellent way to inspect things that zip. Like Java jar files. You can also edit.

Seeing many folks ITT questing the value of advertising (behavioural/contextual) so some points:

1. Advertising ideally works as match making by connecting buyers to sellers where the seller is unaware of the buyer. (i.e. the unknown unknown problem). Companies usually collect advertisements and place them on limited ad slots.

2. In earlier, physical, forms of advertising such as newspapers, TV, Retail Stores etc, the same ad used to be shown to everyone so ad slots were fewer, much more expensive, and typically only big businesses could afford them.

3. In Digital ads where ads can be personalised to users, there are now a lot more ad slots and small businesses could effectively reach out to niche buyers who otherwise wouldn't be aware of them. The ads are thus cheaper as their budget is better focused on the right users.

4. Digital ads are broadly of 2 types: Intent ads, where the user submits their intent (Eg: Google search, Amazon, Maps etc) or Discovery ads, where the user is typically not present for any single intent (Eg: Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, YouTube etc)

5. Discovery based ads in particular can help open up completely new behaviours (in an ideal world) where the seller wasn't aware of the buyer's product but found it very useful (i.e. The unknown unknown problem)

6. Both Intent and discovery ads can be harmful to the user. Intent ads basically charge a tax to prioritise their results (i.e. rent seeking: pay more to jump the queue). Discover ads degrade the user experience (i.e They could've shown you something more interesting but decided to show you something less interesting to you and received money for it from a 3rd party).

Some opinions below:

1. Making digital ads more like physical ads (Eg: By removing personalisation) will probably benefit big businesses by increasing ad prices and making it harder to match sellers to buyers. It's often small businesses who have a niche which increase competition in a market (The Innovators Dilemma)

2. In the EU's case, the ads can be personalised, just not based on behaviour but on context. So this will probably still increases prices but still not change digital ads fundamentally (i.e. they can still be personalised somewhat to the user) at least for now.
Value is the price you would buy/sell it for. There is no other useful definition of value.
Same. A long time ago, I envied Windows and Mac users. For the past decade, I mostly just pity them.
Both are a problem. The time to act is now not when the temperatures are so high that the trend alone + momentum will be enough to reach the point of no return. We really need those trees. So instead of trying to dismiss the article you could do a better job at making the case for action instead of pretending that there is 'plenty of room' when clearly there isn't. Because even in this comment you give another reason to say it's pointless and that we will hit 45 degrees.

Clearcutting rainforest is a huge problem, bigger so because the rich countries arguing that the poor countries shouldn't be doing this after clearcutting their own land is hypocritical to the extreme. But rising temperatures are by themselves also a huge problem and this is an 'either/or' situation, which means we need to tackle all of these in ways that last.
Good news, the laptops with the longest battery life aren't Macs.

Better news, installing Windows on Intel Macs improves battery life under common use cases.

Best news, Linux on that same Mac is even longer.

Hilariously, as much as Chromebooks suck, there are many Chromebooks that have half the Wh of M1/M2 99Wh Macbooks, cost half as much, and meet or exceed battery life under common tasks (implying they're both twice as efficient per watt, and twice as efficient per dollar). These Chromebooks can run Linux, and aren't stuck with ChromeOS.... so if you're really into ultra-thin laptops with excessive battery life, well, they're an option.

I also semi-recently saw a review for the LG Gram 17, an Intel laptop that has 3/4th the Wh of Macbooks, yet has the same battery life in common tasks, and a 17 inch (!) screen; costs about the same as a Macbook. So, even with the Intel CPU holding it back, its keeping up with those Macs.

So yeah, Apple hasn't kept up with the battery life game at all, another myth cranked out by the FUD+FOMO Apple PR machine.
