It's not THAT weird. Lightning can't carry HDMI at all so even Apple's official adaptor is essentially setting up an Airplay connection over USB and has an ARM SoC to handle it. I'm guessing 3rd parties can't do the same trick without Apple's blessing which results in scary seeming workarounds.

One thing I didn’t quite catch was: I thought most write transactions needs consistent reads on many (contended) “objects”, but the actual writes are often just one or two objects. Is 2PL addressing this or does a write transaction take write locks on all objects?

An e-scooter doesn't have an obvious way to pick it up and carry it with you. This is basically an e-scooter, but very narrow and shaped like a briefcase with a handle, which seems like an improvement for transporting it. It would be nice if it was a standing ride, that would probably be more comfortable.

On the backend, you aren’t limited to sub 16ms frame rates and can use languages that provide more productivity vs performance. I have infinite cloud compute, but you only have 4ghz and 16gb ram. I’ll send you highly optimized c++ and use ruby as my cloud language, it doesn’t matter.

You’ll frequently find Java, C#, Go, and Python as backend rpc/tcp game servers.

I'll give the obligatory comment about the New Yorker magazine, which still uses these diaereses... for some reason.
Ah, thanks for clarifying. Yes, I agree. I think that social media is responsible for a lot of this outrage culture, although the culture has spread outside it. People were much less adversarial and easily offended in the 90s and 00s. There was a lot more empathy and agreement, overall.

It seems like there are many small but easy to understand factors in social media that led to the outrage culture. In one of Sam Harris' or Lex Fridman's podcast episodes with Jack Dorsey, an idea was brought up that we might have less fracturing in our society if the social media didn't have a "like" button, but instead a "thanks" button. People like a lot of tribality and toxic things, but few are grateful for them. I think that things like these show the negative impact social media had in this area of the social fabric.

You can really see how people are much more likely to take sides and galvanize against each other in every day life, even if it's against their interests. It's certainly not limited to social media, even if it could have been the biggest driver for it.
The old standard Pi PSUs output up to 2.5 amps (not watts), which at 5V gives you up to 12.5W.

Older boards with simpler workloads could usually manage at 1A (5W) but it was always preferred to have at least 2A (10W) to work with.

The whole situation is awful. I do wonder what the internal discussions in Facebook at the time were like. How did all the human-rights groups find themselves talking with the department of fobbing people off instead of the one that would do something. Maybe the department of fobbing people off were trying to do something but had insufficient political power within Facebook. Though I guess those discussions/emails would be very unlikely to come out except in a court case and I’m not sure what case that would be.

If you look at the things Facebook work on, it does seem that they do care a lot about not wanting various kinds of bad behaviour on their platform. I don’t know if the scope was materially narrower in the past or if this was a problem of being too disconnected from the users in Myanmar (ie language barriers or applying policies designed for the US).

I have a hard time thinking about the counterfactuals. Could this have happened with Twitter for example? It feels to me like the biggest advantage facebook had was being subsidised and if it didn’t have the advantage (and maybe if prices had gone down a bit over a few years) the same thing could have happened over Twitter. It’s not clear to me how much the government wanted the genocide to happen. Presumably the big advantage to them to it happening over Facebook is some kind of deniability and if they didn’t care about that and were sufficiently competent they could have put the hate preachers on the radio instead of letting them find their audience on the internet.

How do you get from there to compulsory attendance?
Yes it seems that additional eligibility requirements may require a constitutional amendment. But the requirement could instead be imposed on some other part of the electoral process, like ballot access.
The attack on Meta here isn't really justified for the reasons Kissane seems to be providing. Take this paragraph, for example:

> By that point in 2018, Myanmar’s military had murdered thousands of Rohingya people, including babies and children, and beaten, raped, tortured, starved, and imprisoned thousands more. About three-quarters of a million Rohingya had fled Myanmar to live in huge, disease-infested refugee camps in Bangladesh.

That is the situation on the ground. The country is a powder keg, and there is evil afoot. Maybe there is more context here to come in part II, but it seems unreasonable to lay this at Facebook's feet from an external perspective. Facebook does not call for beatings, rape or killings.

I can certainly see Facebook's leadership caring about the PR and doing something. But that raises alternative problems - what exactly is the standard Facebook is meant to enforce? Should it ban everyone who is responsible for pointless killing? That includes the US leadership apparatus - should it ban everyone who voted Aye for the Iraq war? Afghanistan? Wars like Vietnam? (yes, the people who voted for it knew better). They won't do that. We'll have a large, powerful company applying uneven and subjective standards.

There is an issue there, but I think the specifics of why she is calling out Facebook are actually dangerously missing the point. The problem is the same no matter what influence Facebook tries to have - the problem is that the will of the people and the will of Facebook's leadership are radically different. In this case, the will of the people is unusually evil - but the problem is the clash and Facebook's position of influence, not which side is wrong on any particular day. Eventually, Facebook will be on the evil side.

Something about the way the article is written makes it sound like the author thinks $1,350 is speedy for a stand. It seems well in line with other manufacturers like Apple, who charge $999 for a stand and $699 for wheels (that cant be attached together and aren’t nearly as tall as Google stand).

> Without retreading old ground too much, the backlash was so severe – from alleged threats to big names announcing intent to jump ship – that last week Unity rolled back much of the new policy.

Companies of this size don't do things like this willy-nilly. They do them after extensive data collection, analysis, research, etc.

Both internally and externally corporations routinely deploy a policy change that is severe, and then to look good, "roll back" the policy...but not all the way. The result is a roll forward, but yet even fairly savvy press like The Reg call it "rolling back much of the new policy."

The whole point is to advance a policy while looking like you "listened" to your employees/customers...while getting nearly or exactly what you originally planned.

Raise your hand if you've ever worked somewhere the health insurance coverage became more expensive or vacation policy was strongly curtailed, and then a couple days later there was a "we listened" email announcing something between the old and new policy.
> The first half of the article, I'm annoyed at the parents for suing the other girl's parents, the helmet manufacturer, and the bike manufacturer, when they really can't point to anything specific that anyone did that was negligent.

There actually is something in the first half that if you read a little between the lines does seem like it might indicate some negligence by the other girl's mother:

>> Kaye thought it was cute and snapped a photo with her phone and texted it to Eme’s mom, who’s a friend of hers. She replied that if at some point the girls wanted to ride Eme’s sister’s new electric bike (it was a bat mitzvah gift), they were welcome to walk over and use it.

It was a new electric bike, and it was a gift for the sister, and the sister was probably 12 or 13 since that is the age for a bat mitzvah. I don't have any siblings, but from what I saw of friends who did growing up, a 12 or 13 year old who gets a gift like this is going to monopolize it for a while.

I'd expect then that Eme had little to no experience riding it, which Eme's mother should have known. At the very least that means they should not have been allowed to ride together, since riding with a passenger is much harder than riding solo.

Eme's mother than should not have invited the girls over to ride it, unless she was going to supervise to make sure they didn't do anything too risky for their skill level. If she did not supervise that might be negligent. If she did supervise but allowed them ride tandem that might be negligent.
‘type Color string’ is just a type alias for string.

Likewise GLint is just a type alias for int. There are only value types (str, int, float, etc), everything else is a construct. The only true types are those value types (and pointers to them). If you call a type a Color and I call a type a Color, you are using my lib to build a program (not me using yours), you must adhere to my contract of what a Color type is to my API. Period. You can not call a function with an unknown type and expect it to behave properly.

If it panics, it’s your fault.
Ah, but it is equivalent.

It makes an absurd statement about being able to predict and correlate the effects or not of a phenomenon we have evidence of occurring in the past numerous times.

Because climate change is real and observable with historical evidence.

Just like the common cold.

That's why it's not putting words in your mouth!

EDIT:

By the way, I realize what you're trying to say. Unfortunately, it's not confirmation bias for CNN not to cite every single source discussing climate change and its alterations of recent climate patterns, though it is pretty lazy, which is about standard for CNN.

Still, nobody's saying "Lol rain must be climate change", and if you read the article, you'd be able to pick out the distinction.
Maverick (Book)
having experienced a lot of psychoanalysis, I feel most of these descriptions in TFA and here in the comment section are missing something. Declaring play to be aggressive vs non-aggressive is missing the element of conflict in our emotions. A particular mode of play is going to entail a mix of "sub-emotions": some aggression is always there, the question is how much, and how much it is being concurrently balanced by other conflicting emotions such as attraction or need, etc. The way you pretend to be an opponent is by being an opponent, just not too much or by also being a friend; the way you pretend to be selfish is to be selfish, just not too much.

We are not one way or another, our emotions are in conflict all the time; we are a balance, or with some frequency, an imbalance.

Not sure that's true for me, very good raids (minus the trial). Ulduar and Icecrown being the highlights for my guild. Though didn't mind the single boss ones either. Trial was a little janky though but the fights were fun. The big progression guild we were part of up through burning crusade wanted to leave for greener server pastures, a handful of us were kinda done with hard progression and the cuthroat nature of it. Picked up a few more and did 10mans/hardmodes mostly. Hooked up with another guild like us for 25man but we only cleared those hard modes once.. 25man was still a management nightmare...

Your Bloomberg source reports that as of 2011, users of highways paid for 40-50% of the money spent on highways. The T's fare recovery ratio (the ratio of operating revenue to operating expenses) was in the low 40% range in the years up to 2019, the last normal year for transit systems. So it would appear that the amount of "subsidization" is comparable between road and transit.

I certainly don't expect mass transit to make a profit, either, to be clear. I understand the concept of a public good that generates positive externalities. But I don't want anything, whether it be cars or transit, to be a categorical imperative that must be enabled at any cost, since we live in a world constrained by limited resources.

Your second source puts up some figures from another source that says driving is effectively subsidized 10x, but unfortunately that source's website no longer functions, so I cannot evaluate what their methodology is. Regardless, it's obvious that automobiles are less efficient at moving people than mass transit. Perhaps a little less obvious is that efficiency isn't the end-all be-all goal of public policy.

The more interesting point it raises is the question:

> "What kind of place do you really want to live in?" with all factors considered.

With all factors considered, the greatest internal migration of the past few decades has been the post-Covid outflow of people from the few cities with transit systems that exist in the US to much more sprawling, car-dependent, suburban places.
Light Sleep has a rich built-in sound library, which includes various sounds
Light Sleep has a rich built-in sound library, which includes various sounds from life and nature, such as raindrops hitting the window, birds chirping, waves lapping on the shore, etc. These sounds can not only make people feel the beauty of nature, but also effectively reduce the noisy sounds in urban life.
Users can choose different scenes and sounds to use according to their own needs. For example, for users who need to relax and sleep, they can choose soft sounds and warm background music to help them enter a deep sleep state. For users who need to stay focused, they can choose rhythmic and dynamic music to help them improve work efficiency and learning outcomes.

Bimetallic currencies were a hairball for every major economy for decades. If you tie a currency to gold or silver alone, and the other a sort of token sense, it generally works.

When you try to do both, you end up with situations where the government gets incentivized to take a metal that's fairly low value, and stamp a design into it to infuse it with new value. Silver bullion in the 1880s that might be worth 60 cents an ounce suddenly went up to a buck and change when you turned it into a Morgan or Trade Dollar. I suspect the introduction of the $20 gold piece in 1849 (and possibly the $3 in 1854) were in part to sop up a glut on the gold market.

in case this story is true I wonder if its diodes in the output driver? we aren't given enough information about the actual circuit that is formed.

The "Open Source" movement is explicitly a conspiracy to avoid using the term Free Software.
Hallucinations have become a bit too much of a boogeyman.

One should not rely on LLMs as any sort of authoritative representation of training data where data integrity is critical.

But there's generally very little propensity for hallucination from in context information you are feeding into them live.

Additionally, even just a second pass with a fine tuned classifier checking for hallucinations between provided data and output can reduce the degree to which they occur significantly.

The low hanging fruit when the models first released of summarizing massive sets of training data is definitely an area where hallucinations have been a problem, but arguably the greater value in models moving forward is having turned them into informal logic engines of increasing caliber.

In that application, hallucinations are far less of a concern unless the context extensively overlaps with training data, and in those cases the hiccups can generally be effectively broken by replacing tokens with representative placeholders (such as if working with a LLM on a variation of the goat, wolf, and cabbage problem where it keeps hallucinating details from the normal form, using different nouns or using emojis in place of , , and ).

The issue of speed is much more salient, but I could definitely see LLMs in combination with the generative tech stacks coming up in 3D generation being used to help create large swaths of synthetic scenario data for edge cases less likely to occur and be captured in real world driving conditions, which would in turn train faster and more comprehensive self-driving models in vehicle.
Useful to specify that it is log32N, not log2N since that makes an enormous different in practice.

Also, if you care about that then you can use transients (if no one knows you mutated the data structure then it still counts as immutable) or mutable structures - both of which are pretty simple.
Let me know if there are any mistakes, or incorrect facts, and it would be great if you also provide a link with correct information.
No, this is a proposal to make people feel good. Most transportation emissions are from cars, not planes. It is fairly pointless to limit air travel if you actually want to achieve something. It doesn’t matter if you do something worse, like travel by boat. As long as people see less planes in the sky, they’re happy. And their happiness is all that matters for those who want to maintain the status quo.

Apparently this was one of the major barriers to achieving widespread adoption of computers in China. The sheer complexity of the Chinese written language meant that it was much harder to display Chinese characters on an old 80s monitor. (I assume that Japanese, Korean, etc had the same problem, but the article I remember reading was about Chinese.)
