Have you seen the neural net series by Statquest? https://youtu.be/HGwBXDKFk9I?si=GxYKy1s996e6Q8-G

It builds a simple CNN and ends with a simple example of how multiple ReLU activation functions can approximate arbitrary curves.
Have you? Humans can use anything as a form of oppression, they don't even need tools, they were oppressing the masses with "traditions" for millennia. I am not saying AI tools don't supercharge these things, but the solution to this problem is not crippling technology, it's to improve society. The printing press was used to both distribute hate speech and progressive manifestoes.
I think most of the commenters experience Airbnb in the US, which I'm sure has become a shitfest in later years. In other parts of the world (Asia) I'm still able to find apartments that fit me, but I do still need to compare to plain hotels most of the time.
Well, I've been to Portugal recently, Porto to be precise, they have actual 5G which you can actually connect to, and despite roaming and the amount of tourists, it was night and day: everything loaded instantly, not a single hickup.

Back in the UK, I spent last weekend in London, 5G logo always on but not actually connected. I could not even send a message when I was in busy areas.

So yes, it helps with congestion, you just don't realise how congested the network is until you've tried the real thing.
> Exempting services from data caps is not against net neutrality

Erm... Exempting a service's traffic from a restriction is the literal textbook definition of 'against net neutrality'

Weird misinformation here.

Just to clarify for the benefit of the audience:

Net Neutrality is when a carrier treats all data packets as equal, without regard to origin, destination, or provider.

I believe 'fair' QoS is exempted (you're allowed to prioritise low-latency traffic such as VOIP) but only if you throw all VOIP packets into the same 'high priority' queue regardless of software, provider, destination, etc.

If you charge on a per-byte basis but exempt some traffic from those charges, you're absolutely violating net neutrality.

If you have a data cap but exempt some traffic from that cap, you're absolutely violating net neutrality.

I do like staying at an AirBnb versus a hotel, although it depends on the purpose of the trip.

The big downside is the amount of scams and the lack of security in your booking. You book something for a few months in advance and the host randomly cancels reasonably last minute, leaving you scrambling to find somewhere when all the good options are already booked, so you end up paying more than what you had the AirBnB booked at, for a cheap budget hotel.

I like the hotels that are like semi apartments, where you get somewhere to sit, a kitchen area and a bedroom. These tend to be around the same price as an Airbnb but you get the security of booking of a hotel chain.

It’s a core part of how macOS is prevents unauthorised modifications to the operating system and file system by malicious software.
There must be a mechanism to do so for the EUs carbon based tariff. For countries like the DNC, you could just assume they are not in compliance and apply the full tariff.
Do we need net neutrality ?

Of all the plastics. LEGO plastics are probably the ones I am least worried about. Mostly because I inherited my dads LEGO sets and then my nephew inherited my LEGO sets. These are plastics that are used for generations. My bigger worry are single use plastics.

But good on LEGO for researching alternatives.
> single hotel booking site that shows taxes by default unless required by law

That doesn’t make it not suck. Not hiding fees doesn’t mean “we always show what’s legally required.”

As a customer I want to know how much things cost. It’s a pain to not know taxes when shopping rooms. Especially since I rarely know city taxes and some hotels have different taxes because they are “resort” or “convention” or whatever tax rules exist for a particular jurisdiction.
I'm going to use that title on the next conversations I have about estimates, in particular in the context of 'we need to know that this piece of work will be started in 4 months and finished in 8'. Those conversations definitely ſuck for me.
It depends on: the medium, the frequency, the shape of the soundwave, how it is generated (in this case: fast rotating props) the degree to which the frequencies line up (or not) which will result in beats, the phase in case that they do line up, reflections, the distance to the source(s) from the position of the receiver, the air pressure, the direction of the wind and a ton of other factors that result in more or less noise at the receiver.

To say it doesn't behave linearly would be too nice. It's not quite random, but systems quickly become so complex (2 drones: 8 rotors!) that modeling them is non-trivial. Look at the way a steady wind blowing on water can perturb it and how complex the resulting waves are. Sound is similar, you can start off with a 'clean' source (say, an electrostatic speaker) and then you place it in a room and suddenly there are all kinds of places in the room where the sound is louder or where it almost completely disappears. Then you add a second speaker, at a little distance to the first. Put them in parallel to make it simple. Now where you place your speakers relative to each other is almost as important as the distance between the two of them. If you place both speakers so far away that the sound of an individual speaker is below the noise floor of the receiver you can usually manipulate things such that the two signals crest right at the receiver. Alternatively, you can place them so close that either one of them individually is clearly above the noise floor but placing the second one strategically to cancel out the sound of the other (besides those pesky reflections) is a possibility as well.

Sound in free space is complex, and with multiple sound sources and a complex environment it quickly gets up to a level that is probably best described as 'chaotic'.
Docker Desktop runs an entire second kernel in a VM.
I guess? I've used it in over a dozen countries in Europe, probably ±20 cities in the US, Morocco, Japan, Turkey, and more that I can't remember. I've never had any issues, beyond a few things with the space itself (e.g., the street was really noisy when the windows were left open.) Maybe a few could have been cleaner, but again, nothing that was nightmarish.

In my experience, hosts have been about half very cool and friendly and half professional, but minimal. My guess is that the people with extremely negative experiences either didn't look at reviews before booking and/or are the type that trash hotel rooms and have issues with spending 2 minutes cleaning up after themselves. Ask anyone that's worked in hospitality: that type of person is sadly very common.
Right, mathematics is a language for very formally and precisely describe consistent relationships. Since the universe is persistent and consistent, it is useful to us such descriptions.

I may not be possible to know why the universe is this particular way, but I don't think the universe is consistent 'because of maths'. The universe is this way for unknown reasons, but languages don't define or create the things they describe.

To prove this, we can construct descriptions of things that do not or cannot physically exist. Frodo the Hobbit, for example, in English. I'm sure there are equivalent expressions in maths that don't relate to physical things. The description, and therefore the concept exist (same thing), but the thing itself does not. Another way to say it is that the description does not correspond to something that is physically real. So we can construct mathematical descriptions of unreal or hypothetical things, and we can construct English language descriptions of such things. That's just a feature of languages.
No idea why you're being downvoted. Governments the world over propagate disinformation every single day with absolute impunity.

Yesterday I was reading this article about the day the USA almost accidentally nuked itself:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1961_Goldsboro_B-52_crash

> The Pentagon claimed at the time that there was no chance of an explosion and that two arming mechanisms had not activated.

> A United States Department of Defense spokesperson stated that the bomb was unarmed and could not explode.

> In 2013, information released as a result of a Freedom of Information Act request confirmed that a single switch out of four (not six) prevented detonation.

Nobody should ever trust a single thing these people say.
We love our black boxes; not just technology either. From 'experts' to devices like lie detectors and bomb divining rods.
In case you are wondering about all those “reading rooms” you may see in various cities:

Not to be confused with Christianity and science, Christians in Science, Christians in science and technology, or Scientology.

Christian Science is a set of beliefs and practices which are associated with members of the Church of Christ, Scientist. Adherents are commonly known as Christian Scientists or students of Christian Science, and the church is sometimes informally known as the Christian Science church. It was founded in 19th-century New England by Mary Baker Eddy, . . .

I just spent too much time messing around with this, so here's the results. The simulation has a limit on the maximum magnitude of the force of your controller, which in this example is 50. The system is described by x'' = -1.00204*x + u (by experimenting with console.log). The theoretical solution to minimize time to the origin on a system like this is a bang-bang strategy: go full actuation and at some point slam the breaks to stop exactly at the origin. Using this strategy you can calculate that you should hit the brakes(-50) starting at x= − 0.867, with the system arriving at the origin at t=0.403. But the timestep of the simulation is dt =0.02, so the system goes from x=-0.874060101875918 to x = -0.6686069466721608 in one timestep, missing the critical switching point. If you try to switch at -0.6686069466721608 it overshoots and at -0.874060101875918 its almost there when t = 0.4 but not good enough for the simulation to decide you finished the challenge. So 0.42 has to be the best you can do.
What you controller actually does, due to the actuation limits, is almost the strategy described above, staying either at 50 or -50, except for 3 time points, which make the dynamics just right to land on the origin.
7-Zip by Igor Pavlov can create zip files, has multi-threading and in my small test, comparing with the "pzip", was both as fast in "real" time and produced smaller file (while using similar amount of CPU but differently distributed between user and sys).

https://www.7-zip.org/download.html

Also, in my example the compression level of Info-Zip that best matched the one in pzip was -3 This can, of course, depend on the set.

I’ve had the bizarre situation where Airbnb removed my review because they found my complaints unreasonable. I complained about the cleaning fee and having to wash sheets and Airbnb said “you can’t complain about that because they disclosed it.”

As if that doesn’t make it less pleasant.

They seem to be orienting around sellers. I expect because there’s lots of competition with vrbo and other listing sites and sellers have hundreds of transactions a year while I only have 1-2 certifications per year.
> Photo: You used to have high confidence that a picture shows who appears to be shown. Not 100%, sure, but it's high.

I don’t agree. Many important photos don’t show what we think they do.

The Soviet flag on The Reichstag. When it was taken and what it showed are different to the impression you get looking at the photo. It was taken after the event and the signs of looting were removed.

Netflix pays their upstream ISP to saturate the link they pay for.

Why should Verizon, Comcast and others demand payment from Netflix?

They are connecting customers to the internet, and should be peered to IXs that can feed what their customers need. Netflix even offers to put caches on the ISPs network to lighten the burden on their IX uplink.

It will get untenable if every random ISP charges each content provider.
That didn't happen here, but that is an actual advertisement from a Portuguese ISP, not just some sensationalized propaganda.
That's interesting, it prompted me to read more on this. You definitely don't want to act in a threatening way in USA or Canada where it's shoot to kill and the death rates from police reflect this.

My phone is capable of 3G (and 2G as well, but I haven't used that in a long time) and I've used it all over Europe. It is funny because sometimes I have bad coverage for newer bands and protocols but 3G always saves the day in those cases. In Latin America it was quite useful as well, especially rural areas.
Imagine an adversary country surveilling all the youth of another, or even just at elite schools, and being able to use that as blackmail as they age into the leadership class.

What possible revelation could bring him down?

By default I talk about the Britain (geography, UK the country). If I'm talking about England I'll mention it specifically.

It could be English bias but to me the North is a concept that can mean something between north of Watford gap, to specifically northern England.

As you say, most British people on here are English, and I'd guess most of those are from the south, so if I'm invoking some sort of concept of 'The North', it's probably in contrast to those southerners.

Personally I feel culturally closer to Scotland than London, so I'm not looking to exclude Scotland here.

The problem is the language. I've conflated the south and London, and I've described my self as British rather than UKish.
A friend just bought a Mitsubishi EV kei van, it's an absolutely amazing car. I rode it in the other day and how I felt afterwards was betrayed. Betrayed that it was the most superior passenger experience I can remember, no noise, no smell, awesome acceleration, regenerative breaking, solar charged. I want one...the trouble is that we live in an area with snow and a 4WD is important and they only do a 2WD for now.

We've been ripped off as consumers for way too long.
This is because landlords can't break even like hotels. It is very expensive to maintain an apartment unlike a hotel room (which can be done at scale). Because of this, AirBnb will always be an inferior experience. AirBnb was never better, it was cheaper (much cheaper) which is why people liked it. (also you shared/stayed at someone's place, so if you need some social aspect it was a good idea).

Of course, in any market there are "entrepreneurs" who try to make a buck. They usually rent the place long-term and try to arbitrage through short rentals on AirBnb. The math mostly doesn't work unless your region becomes "hot" for the season and everyone wants to be there.

Airbnb will continue to exist though (and maybe grow?). The market is massive.
There is a mistake in my first comment, the system is described by x'' = -1.00204*x' + u , I forgot a '. Also in the second example , where there is no x' term, you can reach the origin in 0.4 using this strategy.

I’ve left detailed low-star reviews. Airbnb removed them.
11 star customer service??

I got stranded without a place to stay at my destination and reaching out to their support took 10h in total.

For me, the biggest problem is lack of meaningful feedback. Even a small keyboard lets you feel the edge & centre of each key, and feel when it's acted (the click).

And a physical keyboard does not require you to be looking at it, just to use it.
Remember about the time the CD format hit computers carrying data, all the entertainment industry had a collective spasm of excitement over "interactive video." Like the perennial "3d TV" stuff, it was a lot of noise for little result.

However, some of the things they foresaw then have come to pass, and interactive media has indeed become the big business they anticipated. Amusing how far the media moguls missed out on it.
Even as a couple, we prefer to pay extra to have a kitchen and a living room to just hang out in. If we literally just need a place to sleep a hotel is fine, but we enjoy actually living in the place we're visiting.

That being said, the premium you have to pay on this now has become so high that we often reconsider.
We're very technologically backwards. Just look at the FTTP rollout, which has now been delayed to 2030.

You're probably thinking of "Griggs v. Duke Power Co." which was about IQ testing.

The restriction only applies to tests which are not a reasonable measure of job performance.

The issue here could well be the backhaul... just because you can get 5g to the cell tower doesn't ensure you will have a fast connection from the tower to the core network.
same reason any vendor enters the conversation. the argument that you can get more value out of the vendor than you would have out of a full time employee, and often for less money.

sometimes it really does make sense just to pay someone else to solve the problem. not always, but not never.
It's surprising isn't it? After all the costs and overruns... but the economies of scale kicked in becaues EU NATO countries are buying them in large numbers (and they're noticably more advanced than competitors now that software is actually working).
It really seems unnecessary at this point. Now that we have satellite based internet and 4G/5G are legit competitors to regular wire based ISPs it just seems that the market has solved this by itself. Sure, Comcast _could_ still start doing prioritization. But honestly I’d be a lot more worried about how Google/Meta/Microsoft are using your data for GenAI.
I’ve never seen a hidden fee on there. Some hotels charge a resort fee which Booking cannot charge or collect, but that is disclosed upfront.
> Everyone hates stock buybacks, but they’re economically very similar to dividends, and seem like a reasonable way for a fading company to return cash to shareholders.

consider the passive investor who just Buys and Holds. three alternate timelines:

1) company pays dividends for 5 years and goes bust with a balance sheet of zero.

2) company sells off its assets over 5 years and dissolves.

3) company does share buybacks for five years and goes bust.

in 1) and 2) the passive investor receives the same value as any other shareholder. in 3) the passive investor receives $0 and the value accrues exclusively to those shareholders who sold before the end.

the combination or buyback + predictable bankruptcy makes sense only if you’re a shareholder close to the company seeking to maximize your own distribution. putting “right” and “wrong” aside, this pattern should at least make you more wary of being a passive investor, generally.

Right. I lived across the street from a hotel in DC. People were always drunk and rowdy, or having proms.

The area was fantastic for nightlife and dining though... which I think is something AirBNBs sometimes lack. They bring all the downsides of a hotel to residents, but they're not in a light commercial zone so the residents don't have any of the upsides of hotel district either.
