Thanks. This is a fascinating rabbit hole in itself regardless of the
merit of the claims, because I was unaware of how rapidly advancing
experimental mathematics is banging heads with traditional work.

I see the problem, which goes deep into issues of ML/AI, that
interesting results without "proofs of understanding" are "Idiotic" in
the original Greek sense - that they stand alone and separate from the
wider corpus - leaving someone else the work of "connecting them up",
as it were.

Am I even half right?
Did they review the raw data or did they just read the paper? AFAIK, Pfizer did not release the "summaries" of the data until March 2022 (forced by the FDA if i recall), long after these debates reached critical mass. I don't believe they released the data itself still. Google makes this hard to search for because it's still censoring...

No he’s his examples he’s talking 50 stores over 10 machines vs 50 stores over 5 machines. Both would require the same DB count, but the second would save on server costs for stores.
No, it wouldn't be fair. But I'm not going to get angry at something that rarely happens.

Instead I'm thinking of about all the women who'd have had to work alongside Harvey Weinstein in your hypothetical, while knowing he had abused people they themselves knew.

To make this personal: I discovered CSAM on my boss's laptop. I reported it to my employer and he was fired before he was found guilty. My boss worked with children almost every day. I don't want to imagine a world in which he would have been allowed to hang onto that job.
If you have services with even a few users you should set up LDAP (openldap is fine) and then experiment with it.

LDAP is pretty old and very well supported overall. At one point I configured ldap for postfix virtual hosting. I chose LDAP rather than a database backed solution because of widespread first class support everywhere. The same directory later enabled me to use a ton of other things including SSO. You're always finding new ways to use it once you have it.

It's a great skill to have and is nowhere near as complicated as people make it out to be, including live replication.
I (being an Estonian), recently started using the phrase "was occupied by USSR..." instead of "was part of USSR". We never wanted to be a part of that evil empire and never _formally_ were (when looking in from outside), so after seeing someone point it out in a forum, I also started usign the better description.

But yeah, USSR didn't manage to break our culture (and our own language is a noteworthy part of that). Although there was corruption in various government institutions after USSR collapse, systemic open corruption wasn't part of our culture.

Most (many?) people are ok to work for their own success instead of cheating others as the first choice, that helps the startup culture. And Skype is the most notheworthy company affecting Estonian startup culture. Although not founded/funded by Estonians, the tech & business was built in Estonia from scratch, by mostly Estonians. And now there are multiple generations of ex-Skypers who've successfully built startups & businesses more than once.

Culture & neighbors - that's what I usually tell other people, when they ask about our quick recovery after the USSR occupation.
No they weren't - ASP.NET webforms and old EF was such a pile of shit it didn't matter how fast C# was (and back then it really wasn't, granted order of magnitude better than ruby/python, but way behind JVM). The applications built with it were dog slow and buggy - they couldn't even scale in enterprise setting.

Haskell, OCaml, D with great IDE support in 2006 ? Do they have that even today ?

I mean you're suggesting people use C++ for writing web apps (and c++98/03 no less !) - that's got to be facetious.

The real contender back then was PHP and Java, RoR really addressed a lot of issues from both. They both adopted the improvements brought by it since, but it took years.

Mathematically oriented software engineers have the most to benefit off of software assistance due to algebraic designs.

As one myself LLMs don't feel like giving up control it feels like collaboration. You probably don't like collaboration.
I used to work in agricultural R&D in the private sector, and we collaborated with several universities.

The biggest difference I saw was that universities were very short-term focused, while we were more long-term focused.

The universities had a constant churn of personnel, as new PhD candidates appeared and old ones left, whereas our own researchers and technicians stuck around for far longer.

Additionally, they were so hyperfocused on grants and papers that they tended to not put as much effort into replication, since that didn't pay their bills. By comparison, we typically repeated our experiments ad nauseum; it was common for us to perform the same experiment twice a year (once in the northern hemisphere and then again in the southern hemisphere) for a decade or more, gradually iterating and refining our processes along the way.

Even if we initially got negative results, we'd beat that dead horse for a few years to make sure. Occasionally it turned out not to be so dead after all.

I was an awful, temperamental, argumentative child, and there were moments where my mood would be severely worse for no logical reason until I understood -- discovered for myself, in exasperation -- that both E102 and E110 actually triggered my bad moods.

They were commonplace in drinks aimed at kids (Tizer for example) for years.

Putting them in breakfast cereals is IMO mindblowingly irresponsible; the food producers know for sure (because the link has been established with little doubt) that tartrazine and sunset yellow worsen child behaviour.
While I'm sure the sibling comment is correct about how much nicer 120hz screens are, you shouldn't let the cost of them dissuade you from this project.

I built my own pinball machine (I looked up specs of real machines on the internet, and just kinda copied their angles and sizes) and put a 43" cheap 60hz TV in it. I had a computer laying around with a 1080ti, but that was overkill I think.

I initially set it up with just a pair of speakers, but I soon added the "exciters" that make the sound come from the cabinet in the 4 corners, and that was a subtle but important upgrade, IMO. It also needs some amps, etc for that.

I already had a cheap arcade button/joystick set that I just used the buttons and controller from, and I splurged on a plunger.

The plunger was surprisingly optional in the end, though. A lot of the best games don't even use it! The plunger also had an accelerometer for nudging, but I soon disabled it because it was causing a slight angle to the virtual table and I haven't gotten around to bothering to fix it. It's also not really necessary.

I found that Virtual Pinball X was the easiest software to set up tables on and had most of the best tables. Look for "pinup popper baller installer" to get an easy installer that will ask you a lot of questions and just set things up.

You'll also want a second tv/monitor for the backboard, but don't feel the need to get a third screen for the DMD. Most (all?) game themes will just integrate it into the second screen for you.

My wife is a huge pinball fanatic and when I told her I wanted to make this, she rejected it out of hand. She said it wouldn't be good enough.

She has completely changed her mind. She played it a ton at first and still fires it up weekly at least. Of course, she still goes to arcades for real pinball.
> Network effects mean that most internet platforms form natural monopolies

I'm not entirely convinced. I think it's more "unlimited VC money so platforms could operate at a loss for a decade" had way more to do with entrenching these "natural" monopolies.

I recall plenty of social media/video sharing/etc. sites back in the day. I hosted a number of them. They did not die due to lack of popularity, but due to lack of ability to pay for bandwidth and server costs. VC funded folks could just spam money for free, while being told to not even worry about revenue or monetization.

This is around the time the word "startup" became a joke - and instead described a vastly funded corporate enterprise vs. a couple guys in a garage.

Network effects are certainly a thing, but they are so warped by cheap money and the ability to operate for years at huge losses that I'm not convinced they are as strong as suggested. You had no way to compete with Youtube back then backed by Google money. They effectively had free bandwidth for a decade while they figured things out. Competitors actually had to pay bills and staff with actual revenue. The game was over before it began.
I don’t get how you’re failing to see the difference between knowing that you have uncertainty at all and being precise about uncertainty when making a guess.

How can you possibly assert that I confidently know the answers to the questions on the test? That makes zero sense. I don’t know the answers. I might be able to guess correctly. That doesn’t mean I know them. It is decisively a guess.

The film industry is full of magic, emotions, and fascinating personalities. It's a world where stories come to life, leaving spectators with lasting memories. Diamond painting has evolved as a medium that blends meticulousness with shine in the world of art. Movies Diamond painting connects these two worlds, allowing fans to pay respect to their favorite characters in a bright way. These artworks capture the soul of movie classics, from the strength of Hulk and the humorous charm of Deadpool to the devoted heart of Dobby.
Hulk Diamond Painting
Hulk, being a symbol of raw force and emotion, has a strong emotional connection with audiences. The wrath and metamorphosis of the green goliath have become a staple of the Marvel world. Hulk diamond painting encapsulates this ferocity. The character's furious look and massive strength become evident when each green-hued diamond is placed. It represents Bruce Banner's turbulent inner world and the Hulk's unbreakable spirit.

Deadpool Diamond Painting
Deadpool is an anti-hero unlike any other, humorous, irreverent, and fond of breaching the fourth wall. This Merc with a Mouth is famed for his striking red attire and keen wit, and his rendition in Deadpool diamond painting is sparkling. The artwork pays homage not just to the character's aesthetic attractiveness, but also to his distinct personality. Every diamond portrays Deadpool's diverse personality, making it a must-have for those who appreciate his quirks and charm.

Dobby Diamond Painting
Dobby, the house elf, has a particular place in many people's hearts in the magical world of Harry Potter. Dobby's narrative is one of tenacity and love, representing devotion, sacrifice, and the pursuit of freedom. Dobby diamond painting embodies this character's innocence and tenacity. Fans are reminded of his poignant journey and the moments that made them laugh and cry with each diamond that matches the twinkle in Dobby's eyes or the fabric of his free elf sock.

Conclusion
Movies painting with diamonds is a celebration of cinematic classics, letting fans connect in a deeper way with their favorite characters. Fans are not only creating beautiful artworks by placing diamonds to form images of Hulk, Deadpool, and Dobby, but they are also rediscovering the feelings and memories related with these legendary icons. In a world where films inspire and delight, these diamond paintings serve as gleaming reminders of the stories and characters that have left an unforgettable impact on our hearts.
I don't see the problem. Unless you're saying that there are people in critical i.e. life or death roles who are under-qualified because they were hired based on what the called themselves. That would be a concern.

But in general, nah. I mean, the percentage of people in software who call themselves an engineers who are actually performing an engineering function is pretty small but doesn't seem to have ended the world (yet).

And tbh, if an organisation is making hiring decisions based on what someone called themselves on their resume in an unregulated field, then I'd argue that the problem is with the hirer not the hiree.

Fheroes2: Excellent way of enjoying HoMM2 nowadays
Fheroes2 is an opensource game engine for Heroes of Might and Magic 2 strategy, which brings so many improvements to the gameplay, graphics and AI, that playing the original game is no longer relevant.

Developers thoroughly support the engine releasing a new version each month. The latest 1.0.8 version brings a bunch of new improvements, which anyone could try on their PC or even Android device. Meanwhile, new map editor and game expansion are being developed.

Fheroes2 is definitely a great way to dive into the warm and exciting strategy released in 1990s.

> Surely this person is just some sort of attention seeker. Nobody is this dumb.

In some countries it does work this way.

Luckily for the kid, when you change your name in Australia you are issued an entirely new birth certificate (I know because I changed my name!) so this child won't go through life with this name on its birth certificate and then a "change of name" certificate like in some countries.

More generally though, dome countries have a list of permitted names and whatever the registrar writes down (which might not be what you asked for) is the child's name.

Most of the European countries that had such rules have relaxed or given them up, though they sometimes remain on the books to keep parents from doing this kind of thing, but they remain in some countries in other regions of the globe.

This "whatever the registrar writes down is authoritative" applied to immigrants to the US in the late 19th and early 20th century which is why there are many common names spelled differently (Schmidt, Shmitt, and so forth). Also applied to family names when they were made mandatory (Prussia in mid 19th century, Turkey in the 1920s). In this case they often simply made the decisions with no option to appeal, which you can see Jewish family names that are joke names made up and assigned by antisemitic officials. Most of those people's descendants now live in other countries where the meaning is thankfully lost.
Somewhat related but not really. Back in 2007 when I worked for a large ISP as a second line support technician for various services, ADSL was very much still in vogue. And the technology, over copper wire, had a max distance of where it would be stable. Some clients were on a special plan that tried to up this distance by a bit, maybe 2-3 more km but really it was still quite unreliable but still usable for browsing the internet, generally.

But during the summer I received a call from a client that had been unable to use his IPTV service during the day for almost a month without hickups and disturbances and his internet was slow as a glacier from time to time and as I was measuring the equipment, packet loss and all the usual stuff it struck me that he was very far away from his nearest telephone station. After some back and forth with a technician and lots of measuring we came to the conclusion that since it was so hot out during that summer the line just expanded over to a distance that was just far away enough that the line would become unstable during daytime when it became hotter outside.

We could not really do anything to help him. I do not miss the copper net.

It's similar to running netcat in server mode, wrapping a script. It's even closer to doing that using websocat [1], whereby one does not have to do the websocket header juggling.

The main difference is that while netcat or websocat will spawn a new process for each connecting client, ScaleSocket has a concept of rooms (channels). For a room, a process is spawned once only. All clients connecting to the same room are routed to the same process. This is not straight forward to do using the forementioned tools.

There's a small comparison page [2] where I have mentioned some alternative tools.

I can sort of see what the author is getting at. Learning to “let go” is hard is a learned skill. That said, “Control” has become a loaded term IMHO. If you believe that humans have some level of free will and agency, then it stands to reason that maximising control may be achieved thru proper risk management. To use the author’s example (and at the risk of sounding crass), don’t get on a helicopter and you won’t die in a helicopter crash! Science, reason and technology can be leveraged to optimise for locus of control. Dan Dennett makes a good case for this.

Definitely bolsted my faith in statisticians.
This is an especially interesting read given that Huxley described his own apparent aphantasia - lack of mental visual imagery - in "The Doors of Perception":

I am and, for as long as I can remember, I have always been a poor visualizer. Words, even the pregnant words of poets, do not evoke pictures in my mind. No hypnagogic visions greet me on the verge of sleep. When I recall something, the memory does not present itself to me as a vividly seen event or object. By an effort of the will, I can evoke a not very vivid image of what happened yesterday afternoon, of how the Lungarno used to look before the bridges were destroyed, or the Bayswater Road when the only buses were green and tiny and drawn by aged horses at three and a half miles an hour. But such images have little substance and absolutely no autonomous life of their own. They stand to real, perceived objects in the same relation as Homer's ghosts stood to the men of flesh and blood, who came to visit them in the shades. Only when I have a high temperature do my mental images come to independent life. To those in whom the faculty of visualization is strong my inner world must seem curiously drab, limited, and uninteresting.

Yes, Amazon's share of ad revenue has been increasing for quite some time.

Why is this?

Short answer --- simple logic.

Ads on Amazon are within the "context" of actively searching and seeking to make a purchase.

Personalized ads from Google follow you everywhere you go on the internet --- even long *after* a purchase has been made.

This privacy invading BS lacks any sensible "context" and is counterproductive and generally more irritating and annoying than helpful. But lots of advertisers have been convinced it is the best way.

data := map[string]interface{}{}

So this is the problem, basically. Go isn't a dynamically typed language, and doesn't really let you create an arbitrary map of keys to objects like e.g. Javascript or Python does. Any time you see `map[something]interface{}` that's a huge red flag that something is fucky. In your case you want to define `data` as a struct type with a Display field (and whatever else).

if ... reflect.ValueOf(display).IsNil() {

Any use of `package reflect` in application code is a similarly huge red flag. 99 times out of 100 it's a design error that ought to be fixed.
