> Suddenly I find Apple is promoting the "buy / pay once" (don't remember the exact PR campaign) games on the App Store. (What an amazing co-incidence!)

I get those promoted in the app store, too. Probably because they can tell from my purchase history that I don't like microtransaction based games.

Seriously, when I was in AdTech I saw how the proverbial sausage is made, and listening to your conversations would be been way less effective than predicting your habits based on other data and geographic location.

I think Polycom, since bought by HP, might have something like that. For wireless backup of a small LAN setup you can examine Cradlepoint.
Indeed, but that is still an order of magnitude slower than adding the same range to a gasoline-powered car. If everyone who, today, refuels along an interstate / motorway / autobahn took 30-45 minutes to do so, I suspect that traffic in the more densely populated areas would grind to a halt.

The US debt is $32.3 trillion, and skyrocketing. [1] Total debt held by foreign/international investors is $7.3 trillion, and declining (both in absolute $ as well as percent). [2] The largest single holder is the Federal Reserve. Other holders are disproportionately made up of domestic organizations (like pension or mutual funds) which will collapse when the USD collapses, essentially regardless of hedging efforts, so they have no motivation to consider risk of collapse in their evaluations.

Infrastructure is good but price per kWh is absolutely ridiculous, it’s like 0.5-0.8€, twice as much as in France.
This is a very particular place within Europe called "Bavaria", a quasi-kingdom ruled by the same political party since time immortal. A bit like North Korea, but inhabited mostly by rich Catholics ;)

(e.g. don't mix up "Bavaria" with "Europe", Bavaria's political situation is even atypical for Germany)
“What I wasn’t told was that we had 70,000 hard-coded references to Sacramento”.

Except they had many people tell him it was a bad idea.

In the end, it was indeed a bad idea. Unfortunately, his loyal lieutenants get rewarded for “kicking ass” while the person who knew it was a bad idea probably started looking for opportunities elsewhere.

The only people who would be left in the end are people who worship him unquestionably.
They also brought back the Start menu in Windows after removing it, so there is hope
There is very little sympathy with them by the common people. They have really overdone it with sabotaging common people's everyday life and calling it a "peacful protest". By that logic locking them away for a few days can also be described as peaceful.
How do you get the rover there? It would take thousands of years. Or maybe millions of years? With the current tech
One problem I've run into when trying to use Unix sockets though is that it can only buffer fairly few messages at once, so if you have a lot of messages in flight at once you can easily end up with sends failing. TCP sockets can handle a lot more messages.
> Chrome Mobile is the largest reason I would not recommend an Android (specifically Pixel) device to friends or family. [...] Even after installing Firefox you can’t get rid of the Google Chrome web search bar on the home screen, and in-app web views are Chrome, so you’re never really free from Chrome.

Meanwhile, on pretty much the only competition, you can't even install a different browser, they're all just reskins of Safari. You'd be better off recommending Android...
> that the average end user cares to be dealing with any random string of numbers and digits.

A developer, which I took to be "the user" for the purposes of this writeup, cares. My small concern is that the rand is insufficient to generate a unique enough string (just use a lib like snowflake to get overkill entropy), but I'm sick of having the format at all for inconsequential ids (eg https://www.uuidgenerator.net/).
Current law is that Germany has to stop burning (not just mining) coal by 2038.

The current government wants to push this date up to 2030 and is evaluating if and how that's even possible (https://www.tagesschau.de/inland/innenpolitik/vorgezogener-k...).
There is a whole field of “weighted automata” which combine linear algebra and automata theory.
I honestly wasn't even aware this was an issue. But someone who works with browsers would obviously encounter such issue that they have to address, and that's why I quoted the specific excerpt from Pale Moon release notes. A search for "BigInt" in their forum does display a lot of complains about it - https://forum.palemoon.org/search.php?keywords=bigint ... Angular is mentioned (and it is popular) but it could be that the release notes may not be talking about the popular frameworks but just generic "web framework" in general.
Your freedom of movement doesn't entitle you drive a car, and the history of protest is soaked in examples of protestors effectively blocking specific forms of transportation to make a point.
Great question - there are currently (likely) tons of limitations to this approach as-is. We're planning on testing this on more capable models (e.g: integrated gradients on Llama2) to see how the relationship might change, but here are some initial thoughts:

1. The perturbation method could be improved to more directly capture long-range dependency information across tokens

2. The scoring method could _definitely_ be improved to capture more nuance across perturbations.

I think what we've found is that there does seem to be a relationship between the embedding space and attributions of LLMs, so the next step would be to figure out how to capture more nuance out of that relationship. This sort of side-steps the question you asked, because honestly we'd need to test a lot more to figure out the specific cases where an approach like this falls short.

Anecdotally - we've seen the greatest deviation between the estimation & integrated gradients as prompt "ambiguity" increases. We're thinking about ways to quantify & measure that ambiguity but that's its own can of worms.
This is a great post. My reading of it:

- waypoint names used around the world are not unique

- as a sortof cludge, "In order to avoid confusion latest standards state that such identical designators should be geographically widely spaced."

- but still you might get the same waypoint name used twice in a route to mean different places

- the software was not written with that possibilty in mind

- route did not compute

- threw 'critical exception' and entered 'maintenance mode' - i.e. crashed

- backup system took over, hit the same bug with the same bit of data, also crashed

- support people have a crap time

- it wasnt until they called the software supplier that they found the low level logs that revealed the cause of the problem
"Could" as far as i know is conditional. So it could be anything.
No.

In this case KCG was doing the opposite of making markets --- they were taking --- they were eating the spread over and over and over again until they ran out of money.
The activists have been arrested for participating in similar protests before and a court has deemed that they were likely to participate in similar protests again, and cause significant public disturbances. Others have pointed out that the state police law that these arrests are based on are very controversial and are currently challenged in court. I might add that the judiciary in Bavaria has a very pro-prosecution reputation in cases against progressive activists.
"Heat islands" "Fake data" "There was snow last winter" "It's not hot here" "They recalibrated the thermometers" "It's actually cooling since [last record peak]"

The key here is "retailers". If there were exactly 2 retail companies worldwide that were controlling what we could buy/sell and extracting a tax from each sale, you can be sure there would be a hell of a lot more outrage and legislation than there is over the current mobile app store duopoly.
156,000 individual physical servers (remember, it said 5200 racks * 30) in one building and not being the only building _to serve 140 character tweets_ IS fucking absurd.

This is the same company that took a nuclear-fucking-orbit dump on Rails because they didn't understand that your standard relational databases cannot handle their architecture pattern of very high write rate and very high read rate.

This is the same company where the same lead engineer's NIH-syndrome led to them writing their own bespoke message queue twice. And they threw it out twice.

And I do run 10^5 scale infrastructure -- globally distributed and not with any single building at some eye-watering $100M/yr run rate.

It may be a highly visited site, but if you tell me they actually need that much physical stuff to _host tweets_ then I'm calling bullshit.

Their quarterly operating costs _not including staff_ were over half a billion dollars. Twice what they were paying in salaries. That's a completely inverted cost relationship to how companies should operate.

That is a valid point, but is there a reason to not change the grid first? As it stands the EV campaign slogan of "environmentally friendly" is missing a "... eventually".
Sorry, you're right. Google replaced it with the benign sounding "Topics", which from a strategic perspective is no different and gives them the same capabilities.

I'll update my post.
My experience is that while edge cases certainly adds bloat, there are plenty of cases where the bloat comes from entirely different things, and where simply rewriting with the hindsight of being able to see the overall structure better can do wonders. In other words: A lot of the time undoing mistakes made first time around as a result of not having the full picture.

And often it's a result of trying to cater for everything even when its not needed. E.g. layers of indirection in anticipation of extension that never happened, accessors that are never once accessed.

Often it's history. One of my "favourite" recent examples is the X11 XRender extension. On one hand it was modernising X. Allowing a much more modern rendering pipeline. On the other hand it insisted on holding on to a world that has moved on:

On one hand, it provides a number of pre-defined visuals and formats, requiring servers that implements XRender to provide ARGB32, RGB24, A8, A4, and A1 visuals. On the other hand, it 1) allows the server to provide a list of every other kind it can support, at every depth it can support, 2) doesn't label the standard, required formats in any way. So as a result you get back a huge list of visuals at depths you don't care about, and formats you don't care about, and never will.

As a result, 1) the client library goes through a pointless matching exercise to go through a bunch of visuals and formats that it's highly likely in many cases has never once in the history of the XRender extension been used by anyone for anything but testing. Are you going to do complex alphablending and compositing on a machine with an 8 bit display with a palette? No.

The very, very generic system of visuals and formats X11 supports made sense in the 1980's. Even in the 1990's. It was marginally useful to support legacy hardware into the 2000's (but then we're talking maybe supporting 16 or even 15 bit depth graphics cards, not monochrome or 8 bit).

It's not necessary any longer. If you're going to run hardware where this is an issue, you'll be running old software too. But here it still is, contributing a bunch of pointless code on the server, and forcing the client to implement a bunch of pointless code as well because the protocol just assumes people will care about more precise matching (we don't; I just want to use the standard visuals and formats).

A lot of the time, with the full picture then, you can yank out a whole lot of code and reduce the number of edge cases by offering fewer choices, and you can often - not always - do so without sacrificing functionality that is actually used.
When I was in high school, my parents hired some contractors to put an addition on the family home and do some improvements in most of the rooms.

So the most arduous part of the whole job appeared to be the demolition to start with. They started pounding into the thick plaster walls, and revealed a thick mesh of solid steel reinforcement. Of course, that took ages to take out, wherever they had to deal with such a wall.

And you know what? I was absolutely appalled by the chintzy material that went in to replace it. They just brought this drywall, you know, and I got to touch it and examine it, and I couldn't believe how flimsy it was, when compared to the reinforced plaster they'd just taken out. I mean, like, there were cost and time considerations, but it seemed like a travesty to me. Like we were sacrificing half of our solid, valuable home for a mere facsimile in the other parts.

Today, the WiFi is fairly bad. My dad only has the one router in a distant corner of the den. I don't know how reception is directly upstairs, where his bedroom is, but the downstairs bedroom can barely keep a signal going at the best of times.

That home renovation was happening around 1988, so possibly too early to really think of putting Ethernet in every room, but my dad would've been the dad to do it.
Emacs is so much more than a text editor! But I need to stay on topic...

> In those days you would buy your drink, drink it on the spot, and return the bottle. As luck would have it, he mistimed his coffee and his train started to pull out of the station. He hurriedly returned his half-finished bottle and ran to his train.

Something about this doesn't make sense to me. Why not just return the bottle to a different machine, or bring it back the next time he was in the station? It seems to be like a bottle is actually easier to carry with you than a can, since a bottle can usually be resealed (even crown closure bottles you can push the cap back on).

I don’t see how a lien is the same as #1.

Say retired couple owns a $500k home and can't pay $5k/yr property tax. They will live for 10 more years.

With no lien, they are forced to sell and buy a cheaper $450k house, using the equity to pay property taxes. When they die, heirs get $450k.

With the lien, in 10 years the estate sells the house and the heirs receive $450k after paying the back taxes.

Obviously this is simplifying a lot, but I don't think the rest of society is being shortchanged by the lien mechanism. Except in the case where the unpaid taxes exceeds the value of the house.

No, again, there is no territory, it is gone, we are living entirely in the hyperreal, even your grandma who has never used a computer is living entirely in the hyperreal and has no access to anything other than simulacra. The food she eats, the water she drinks, the sky she looks at, etc. Even the "laws of physics" are simulacra. There is no such thing as "the real world around you" according to Baudrillard.

Sorry I misread kettle for kettle bell. But the load is irrelevant.

If you are that weak then start with fragmented swimmers stretches 1 limb at a time. I was in the same situation in 2018 but you do forget once you escape. Just do 1 rep on each limb every second day until you can do two. Or figure out the training periodicity for your body so that you can build up to 30 swimmers stretches. Then add in another exercise.

The feeling of muscular fatigue doesn’t matter - the not overtraining is the important bit.

There’s so many other things to get right also but getting physically stronger will only help. I’d talk with a sports physio first if I was in your situation.
> They also say that salt is seriously bad for high blood pressure but I find little effect for myself personally. I do wonder how much sensitivity varies from person to person.

You’d be shocked at how much salt some people consume. A little bit with your vegetables or steak isn’t going to move the needle, but some processed foods have unbelievable amounts of sodium relative to how they taste.

Salt definitely impacts blood pressure. Salt supplements are used with good effect in certain conditions of low blood pressure/volume.

This state will jail people for potential terror acts. yet won’t do anything about the actual terror brought upon by the O&G and auto industry through their dangerous products and by products (in the case of cars, micro plastics in the form of tire wear particles, brake dust, and of course car emissions if ICE).

That reasoning is fine, but it rather seems that the programmers triggered this catastrophic "stop the world" error because they were not thorough enough considering all scenarios. As TA expounds, it seems that neither formal methods nor fuzzing were used, which would have gone a long way flushing out such errors.
It could also mean "I shot the first 10 messengers who delivered bad news, why doesn't anyone want to deliver bad news anymore?"
After 3 years of Ocrevus I'm switching to Kesimpta this week. I've had too many infections with Ocrevus and I'm hoping the lower dose with Kesimpta will help. I had laryngitis for a few weeks, Covid for a few weeks, other little things too, and have had to miss work as a result. Otherwise Ocrevus has been amazing for my MS!

I was diagnosed almost 15 years ago and doing fairly well. I skipped the 'CRAB' drugs specifically because of the depression/suicide risk. Being already at risk for those things I thought the negatives far outweighed the positives -- personal choice.

So glad Gilenya is working for you! Some of the new drugs are quite amazing.
>It seems that if you unleash this wrapper onto a C programmer who has never used Cocoa, you'll just be in a world of hurt with unexplained memory leaks and segfaults due to misunderstood object lifetimes.

This is true for every API under the sun. If you just use it without reading the documentation or understanding the design philosophy, you're alyways in a world of hurt.

The same things that are true for Obj-C are true for the wrapper, it just lets you use the API in C. No more, no less.
Yeah this is what I believe, I'm very young and I imagine that the parent post is talking about my generation but I cannot really stand with these people, they, for example, rally against nuclear energy, it just show how performative these protests are in reality, and how they do more harm than good. Also of course vandalizing properties has given them a certain reputation.
There is a fundamental difference between killing people, placing bombs and gluing yourself to a road. If your definition of terrorism includes all of these, it's useless.
What would be a more charitable interpretation? I'm open to pursuasion.

A big factor for women buying EVs is that they DON'T have to go to gas stations anymore.

EV chargers belong in safe, bright areas as you sit in your car or somewhere else for 20-30 minutes. A gas station parking lot is not clean and safe, in Germany or elsewhere.

I can't believe McDonald's hasn't realized the huge potential here. They have the real estate, they have the safety and could get a ton of customers eating out of pure boredom.
Question for EV charging -- how does the economics work at a charging station? If I was an EV owner is it cheaper to charge at home -- and do I pay a premium at a station for fast charging? Are stations subsidized by say a Home Depot who just wants people to come to their business?
Damn, ketamine is a helluva drug.
The fact that the old own much, much more than the young isn’t a bad thing—it’s evidence that the economy is a wealth-creation machine which works quite well.
A 60 year old has been working 4x years longer than a 30 year old. The average dollar a 30 year old saved between 20-30 has, by the time they’re 30, grown for five years to ~$1.30 (assuming historical S&P returns), while the average dollar a 60 year old saved from 20-30 has grown for 35 years to ~$7.20.
Any system where the old didn’t own much more than the young would be a nightmare.

> A generation with nothing to lose.

That’s what they said about millennials. Now the average millennial is 34, has kids and owns their home. Isn’t it just the pits when the system turns your would-be revolutionaries into homeowning parents with a stake in the success and stability of the system? Maybe it’s oppressing them through prosperity?
