>this is why you call them having a common interest as an ideology but would not present a community of soccer enthusiasts the same way.

You keep trying to hammer this point when the fruit of what comes out of a community matters when discussing what that community believes. However, instead of belaboring this further I'll just point to something[1] that carries more weight than my anonymous words, where they discuss the incel ideology because it actually exists:

"Across our quantitative analysis of the distribution and associations made with identity terms, we see evidence of an ideology where physical appearance determines human value, as has been found with prior work on incels (Maxwell et al., 2020; Baele et al., 2021; Pruden, 2021). This ideology essentializes social constructs, such as race and gender, as biological physical features impacting desirability, with controversy over the role of race."

You could say the same about plumbing, which it is hard to imagine life without. At least with plumbing you don't have to deal so much with literal worms worming themselves into your body.
The only thing that moves more impressively fast than the dancing pens in a high-quality pen plotter, is the human supervisor of said plotter, when some rare physical fault occurs, and the mechanism starts turning your big sheet of expensive paper into a random 3D pretzel at the speed of light.

It very rarely happened! and certainly, most modern equipment would have inbuilt fail-safes, but trust me, when it happened, it wasn't subtle!

One of those trash-style TV shows, based around 'When Plotters Go Bad', would be - as they say - "quite the lol".

Other humorous old-fashioned plotter errors included those times when human error led to half the plot being drawn directly onto the plotter's vacuum bed (e.g. sent Landscape data, while the paper was loaded Portrait). Of little consequence except shame, that one.
In part it's due to requirements of transparency. If some stranger is going to be evaluating you, a simple way to ensure that you're not being evaluated unfairly is to have the evaluation criteria be very simple, almost to the point of being mechanistic. If you're part of a small enough community it's likely that your evaluator, their overseer, and your peers all know you, so it's very difficult for unfairness to creep in unnoticed. If your community is gigantic everyone starts to be strangers to everyone else, so people can't intuitively know whether someone is being treated unfairly or not. When everyone knows each other it's much more difficult to game the system, because people can tell when you've been lazying around.
Wonder if this is on the wrong side of the convenience vs security balance?
It would be very rational for both to fight it. But in the case of Mexico, if not for the DEA and a lot of assistance from the USA the government would be overrun by the narcotics operators, the fact that this isn't the case is the result of decades of work (and not all of it legal or above board). Mexican politicians are very much at risk, see:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_politicians_killed_in_...

This means that it may be right and rational to fight the drug trade and they are trying but the personal risks and risks to the rest of society are non-zero and may well be fatal to those individuals seen as instrumental to that fight (same in Colombia, perhaps more so).

For Estonia the desire to fight these things is definitely there, but the manpower simply isn't. And this is the only thing that I really begrudge the Estonian authorities in particular: they never really sat down to think through the abuse potential and what likely would happen as a result of their e-* programs. They went into it all naive and starry eyed whereas professionals the world over saw it and thought that it was going to attract a very mixed crowd with a very large risk of abuse.

Google announces plan to make Gmail “less spammy”: A checklist to help
Android took longer to catch iOS on full system updates, probably because it was hard to keep it up-to-date.

Google itself used to offer 3 years of support. The last 2 generations of Pixels have 5 years. This new phone is 7 years, which is in line with Apple's 6-7 years.

Parts of the system are also kept up-to-date via the app store. Apple released a system update not long ago for older iPhones just to fix a WebKit exploit... Google would release that as an app update, you wouldn't even have to restart the phone. Any Android running a 7 year old OS (Android 7) is still running the latest version of Chrome. On newer Android versions, parts of the system - from the media engine to the bluetooth stack - can also be updated via the store.

Are Android updates messier than iOS? Yes they are. But a lot of what's considered to be "system updates" on iOS are just app/module updates on Android. They happen in the background are keep on going for years after you get a full system update. They don't get any headlines though.

He is known for his role in filing an affidavit in the Supreme Court of India against (the current PM of India), then Chief Minister of the Government of Gujarat, Narendra Modi, concerning Modi's alleged role in the 2002 Gujarat riots. [1]

>> In 2015, Bhatt was removed from the police service, on the grounds of "unauthorised absence". [1]

It's infuriating seeing non-profits gatekeep datasets that were compiled with grant money. At least Elsevier doesn't present itself as a charity.

I was recently trying to get my hands on the Switchboard and Fisher conversational speech datasets. Both were funded by DARPA grants, and maintained by the non-profit LDC, which charges you thousands of dollars for access (and no discounts for individual researchers) - that is, if they'll even pay attention to you without a .edu email address. And both are standard corpora in the field of audio NLP, which makes replicating studies impossible.

Sadly, I couldn't find any way to pirate the datasets - they're too niche. So I applaud the authors for sticking it to Worldcat and scraping their data.
"significant" is the key word here. I'd be hard pressed to think of a generational release of an existing phone line in the last 5 years that I would describe as a "significant" improvement.

The things you listed (camera and chip speed) are basically the only things left that these companies can claim is better than last year's model, but only because it's so easy to use synthetic benchmarks and numbers that mean nothing to make them sound like a dramatic improvement despite the fact that we've reached the bottom of the barrel in terms of diminishing returns on the user experience for smartphones in their current form. More megapixels don't matter anymore, CPUs are hardly a limiting factor and yearly gains on their performance are marginal at best, and we have more than enough RAM for pretty much all use cases.

My point is that if these companies insist on re-releasing the same phone every time, maybe they could space it out a little.
This is very cool, I'd love to chat more about it.

For context, I have an open source video player designed for esports coaches. The main feature is that you can load in multiple video streams at once at synchronise them together. Mainly for FPS games like Valorant / Apex Legends (https://www.vodon.gg/ if you want to explore it).

I'm starting to get access to some streams of data from the games via coaches that use the tool. My very naïve approach was simply to load game events into the video timeline (so you could easily skip forwards to deaths, kills etc) but I hadn't thought about loading this into data analysis tools.

The game events themselves for Valorant seem like they'd be enough to almost construct an online replay from them as well, which could compliment the recorded gameplay (i.e. construct a dynamic map of where everybody is that could be brought up on screen).

It's a very cool space, if you'd like to chat more my email is in my profile.

Watery material makes windows selectively block light and/or heat
llama.cpp (and derivative projects) is quickly becoming SOTA for many use cases, and it basically has zero dependencies.

Kobold.cpp, for example, provides an entire web UI and API with python, and 3 python packages (numpy, sentencepiece, and gguf which is the llama.cpp library). The llm itself is a single file you can get with curl or whatever. It takes less than a minute to compile against the native CPU/acclerator architecture, with nothing but the GPU libs themself, which nets better performance than a generic binary distribution.

...Its not "one line" I guess, but I can hardly imagine a simpler setup. It doesn't really need docker or a fancy container.

> I really miss forums tbh, what happened to them?

Spammers and similar bad actors. :(
Here is what I did (I have no idea if this is helpful):

- Pulled all my changeset comments within the range I care about.

- Put them into Excel and strip dupes, shorts, and general cleanup (e.g. remove anything with "fix" + "bug"/"exception"/"crash" in it).

- Put the remainder into ChatGPT and ask it to make me a bullet list of my projects.

- Expand and clean up the resulting bullet list by hand.

Then take that to interviews with me, and when someone asks me I unapologetically change to that page and skim it as I talk. I don't pretend I don't come prepared or even over prepared, I want them to know I am ready for their questions.

I don't understand where people got the impression you need to memorize this stuff; it is a professional business meeting, and you wouldn't turn up to any other meeting without notes or references to what you're going to talk about.
>If there were no weapons manufacturers or intelligence agencies you would still have wars.

There would be far less of them.

>Humanity always finds a way to resolve disputes through violence and aggression.

This has been the case for a long time, doesn't mean it will persist forever. For example, slavery is mostly illegal and stamped out (except in Libya, one of the victims of US "intelligence" complex's forever war) compared to less than two centuries ago, which is a blink of an eye for human history.
Maybe "unlimited" would be better?

I wonder how much of that is the software demands increasing and the flash storage itself wearing out over time. As flash storage wears it'll often go slower and slower as the error correction needs to process more to actually get you the uncorrupted bits. This is why a lot of cheap devices tend to just become unbearably slow after a while, their storage just gets to be way too slow.

Flash storage doesn't last forever, and it's got a whole gradient of failure and wear experiences.

You've missed the point of curves. Curves exist as a different solution to the problem of "we don't know whether everybody understands the material or not, and we don't know how to evaluate whether they do". It's like saying "The problem with electric cars is that they don't fit the equipment for our emissions test"

If you give a pre-written test, you basically need to curve it because you don't really know how well the test aligns with your expectations of the class's understanding of the material. So you say "typically, about 20% of the class doesn't understand the course at all, 20% have a very good grasp..." etc, and then fit the written test results to the expected curve.

A one-on-one communication with a student allows you to directly gauge their understanding, allowing you to assign a grade. It doesn't matter how well or poorly the rest of the class understands the material, this student, sitting in front of me, has a "B" level understanding.

"FWIW Estonia has ~1.3 million people living there, the vast majority of them earn their living in legal ways "

I never said anything against Estonian people, neither did I say anything against Mexicans. Most people earn their living in a legal way. Even in a favela (Brazilian slum) the drug dealers make a tiny tiny fraction of the population. (In fact, I did not even say anything against drug trade. I think the war on drugs has failed tremendously and drugs should be legalized as much as they can be reasonably legalized).

"FWIW Estonia has ~1.3 million people living there, ..have underpowered financial, legal and enforcement branches"

Well, how many inhabitants does Luxembourg or Liechtenstein have? A fraction of this. This can't be an excuse.

This article mentions a notable limitation of the HSL colour model:

> Perceived brightness is not at all uniform at equal starting points, it depends on the hue, as well as the saturation.

…but it doesn't mention an (under-discussed) solution available: using a better colour model. OKLCH uses similarly understandable coordinates, "chroma" being roughly the same concept as "saturation", but is designed to avoid just this kind of problem. That is, if you change the "hue" coordinate, you can reasonably expect the perceived lightness and chroma of the resulting colour not to change. Where such a colour does not exist, e.g. a blue with the same lightness and chroma as #FFFF00 yellow, it's simply out of gamut.

There's a colour picker web app[0] that shows the boundaries of the space along with smaller spaces like sRGB, and it's helpful for getting a feel for it. It also links to a post[1] laying out the reasons to use OKLCH in web projects (it's now supported by all three major engines), and the post[2] introducing OKLAB (same space, different coordinate system) is heavy on technical details.

As a "collector of reliable DNS servers"^1 I can report there are DoH servers that will actually take a traditional DNS query that does not support EDNS0 and, perhaps using the client IP from the TCP connection, return a response that includes EDNS0 Client Subnet (ECS). Whether the DoH provider is sending the ECS to authoritative servers I do not know, but to me it is quite sad to see this being returned in the response given I did not request it. Anyway, ECS is supposedly the reason 1.1.1.1 does not include DNS data for archive.is

The site once used a tracking pixel as a poor mans ECS. The client IP address was inserted into the image name. Apparently the operator of the site explained this was used to achieve CDN-like functionality:

1. Perhaps we should be clear that "servers" here means open resolvers. These servers are of course not authoritative for any name, and generally recursion is slower than iteration, i.e., use of authoritative servers only (fee free to challenge me on this and I will share a citation, although I know this is true from own experiments). Thus "reliable" is perhaps ambiguous. Not all of them always return the same results. Some will return different answers, and not always for "load balancing" reasons. Some may be missing data entirely. Some will return wrong answers, e.g., pretending to be authoritative. Much DNS funny business on the internet today. I gather results from a variety of resolvers, from authoritative servers as well as other sources of DNS data, e.g., public zone files, scans and crawls, and I compare notes; I personally would not feel comfortable using one open resolver (third party DNS) as the source for all DNS data; I could not rely on it. As such, "reliable" is IMHO a loaded term if used to describe open resolvers.
