Right, and that's the case with every feature implemented in software. Showing both the precise datetime of creation and a "human readable ago" seems to cover a lot of bases that users seem to like, though. Recall, we're commenting on a thread that's proposing removing a feature that already exists (so presumably people want it).

4 years experience at 140k is an insult IMHO. You claim you can easily find ppl w 5+ years experience, but I find that claim dubious. What you're willing to pay and what value we add seem to be vastly different.
It’s like a low priority, but drivers begin to get feral when they realize there is no punishment for bad behavior. Traffic monitoring is low hanging fruit for tech, the barriers being primarily cultural which should fade away as the roads get more dangerous without enough cops to do traffic duty.
Kalman Filters were developed outside the context of “Machine Learning” and found practical applications much earlier.
If you define ML as an algorithm that is “trained by input data”, than any statistical model would be ML. So is the ambiguity around the terms ML and AI in general.

Where a KF is really going to kick the pants of a multi-layer perception/neural network is how computationally efficient it is. A KF only takes a couple of matrices of size N^2, where N is the number of variables you’re trying to predict. Compare this to a NN with hundreds/thousands of nodes. Also, the KF is “online learning” in that it “is trained as you go” rather than some other ML models that require upfront training, a KF is very useful for live update-and-predict use cases. And, again, it’s extremely computationally efficient, and can run easily on embedded systems. The book ad, here, suggests tracking: so tracking an airplane with an air traffic control radar would be an effective use for a KF. (Where NNets have found any other uses I’m sure you’re aware of.)

Another huge benefit of a KF is that, unlike NNets, KFs are “explainable”, and in fact extremely well understood by many professionals. This means that a KF can be better tuned to suit a purpose with less fear of unexpected results that may be more common in other ML models. Like, KF(S, x) will always return an explainable new state, where NN(x) may result in a surprise state and no amount of analysis can reveal why (and require training a new model, the “retrain and pray” solution).

There’s a couple of differences for you.

Yes the "unlimited" is referring to the number of addresses/domains. An unchecked sending limit would be an open relay, not a reputable mail server.
Device ID cookies for analytics like error reporting or a non-essential function like feature gates rollout are not strictly necessary for the user to complete their goal, and so need consent under the UK’s version of the GDPR. You also need user consent if you’re re-using an essential cookie like a session token for non-essential purposes like analytics or feature delivery.

See https://ico.org.uk/for-organisations/direct-marketing-and-pr... section titled “What is the ‘strictly necessary’ exemption”

To my knowledge, the UK’s cookie law is the most restrictive one and drives a lot of the recent increase in these consent banners

> “I find it very disturbing how the EU party system works above country party systems, where the EPP often overrides what the people in their own respective countries voted for.”

How else could it work? Within the larger group, the majority rule means that someone gets voted down. Requiring unanimous support for all initiatives means nothing gets done most of the time.

In the US, the national Democratic Party doesn’t support everything that the Vermont Democratic Party wants. That’s just political reality.
And then the boy fired the girl for the legally protected activities of talking about work conditions and how they might improve them.
How has that been working out for the EU?
Keep in mind that the EU is doing other funny things like providing a publicly-paid "DNS4EU" which is (for now) totally voluntary and free-to-use but surely will be enforced eventually on any digital product.

It drives them crazy that law enforcement is that incompetent to enforce law so the solution is to criminalize everyone instead of developing operational excellence in law-enforcement.

It is a very complex system, and I say that as a US person who is used to a very complex system. In fact, I'm not really aware of any democratic nation with anything quite as byzantine.

The EU Commission President is nominated by the EU Council, which is itself comprised of the heads-of-state of the member states. The President is then confirmed by the EU Parliament, which is directly elected by voters. So far this seems straightforward.

However: the remaining Commission members are selected by the Council of the European Union (CotEU), which is apparently not the same thing as the EU Council! Except that the Commission President also gets a vote in their selection. I tried to understand how the CotEU members are accountable to the voting public, but frankly the Wikipedia article is too hard to understand. The elected Parliament does not appear to get a say in this part of the selection.

Then the Commission President selects the policy direction and assigns policy areas to the Commission members. The articles I found hint at the idea of consensus voting, but don't state it very explicitly. In any case, the President seems to have overwhelming authority within the Commission, given their role in selecting the members and the policy initiatives. At the same time, 26 out of 27 Commission members are selected by the CotEU and presumably the President depends on their good graces.

I assume this makes more sense to EU citizens, who must learn about it in school. In total, power seems to be distributed in confusing ways across seven different governmental bodies, of which only one is directly elected? It's an interesting system, but maybe not the one I would choose given the current outcome.
> It’s a tough pill to swallow but it is possible to get offers, but they might not be at the salary levels from 2-3 years ago.

This goes both ways. People teams will prefer to pay less than they have before, and engineers should usually ask for more than they currently make.

Anecdotally as a hiring manager, I would always encourage folks to have savings to cover the time it takes to avoid settling for lower salaries if they lose their role. The folks not making that much already should be moving up to those “lower paying” positions.
And at the same time, many people who couldn’t easy travel to offices due to family, disability or other issues now have a way to access mental health services. People who are open to having honest helpful discussions can use telehealth and achieve worthwhile results.

It's Bayesian, and you specify what the model is. If you don't have a lot of data, and the model is a good match for reality that can be a good thing. Otherwise if you have data, ML is going to be more accurate because it can make a better model than your hand crafted model that you used in your kalman filter.
But this is my point. It’s like that old joke, 400: you fucked up, 500: we fucked up. What exactly can you do when the issue is on the service side anyway.

Again, no sources but even if it was true, and it very well may be, I'd actually prefer someone driving too close rear ending someone driving too fast to someone driving too fast hitting someone who's likely not done anything wrong.
Actually, it's that question that is the straw man. jstanley's point is that to the reader "posted last week" could mean almost no time at all ago. It's not about the display library choosing to label recent things as this. It's about humans reading such a label and not receiving the intended information, because humans don't cut off what they understand "last week" to mean at some arbitrary 12-hours-ago mark.
I'd love to vote Green for environmental stuff, but up until the war in Ukraine, the UK Green party wanted to pull out of NATO and effectively disband the military.
Not just an abstract "the government" that can scan your chats. This implies people all along the chain (from operators to politicians, for profit or power), private companies involved in this, processes (from sophisticated AIs to dumb pattern matching) labelling you, and future governments/policies that may reframe innocent present phrases with future meanings.

A few years ago, I wanted to switch my leisure time computing to a device that would basically keep me from being able to work when I'm not actually working. I'll often sit in front of a screen from the couch or whatever and I wanted to make it impossible for me to keep working.

I ended up buying an ipad for this and have been using it ever since. I will say that while the iPad has achieved the goal I set out, I do find it pretty frustrating to use at times.

- You are basically stuck with Safari in some form. You can install an alternative browser, but the "engine" behind rendering is basically Safari.

- The limited amount of system ram can become an issue while browsing. Now granted, I have the last iPad model before the M1 came out and it has a little less ram than these do. But, things can get really weird when you have multiple tabs. Some pages will even stop functioning until you reload them. Occasionally you have to restart Safari (though rare)

- Many native apps have an iPad version, but they are just a stretched out version of the iOS app and look terrible. You can mitigate this by using the "slide over" feature to dock the app to the side of the screen.

- I have the 12.9" iPad and it ends up being a weird middle ground. In landscape, especially when docked to the magic keyboard, it works pretty well. But it feels awkward and heavy (especially one handed) in portrait. When docked to the magic keyboard though, it's very back heavy and will often tip over if not supported.

I'm at a point where I am wanting to do a hardware upgrade, but having a really hard time deciding on "what". The 12.9" iPad I currently have is such a weird middle ground. A smaller device would be nice for reading technical books (or D&D stuff) in portrait. A model with more memory might sort out some of my browsing issues. A ultralight laptop would solve many issues and fit many of my use cases but not all of them. I'd love to just have one device, but I kinda feel like I'd be better off with two.
No, spam does not count towards your limits.
Not a manager. But from what I have seen, effective managers need to play several games at once, in an intentional, balanced way. It’s easy to say “oh, I won’t be petty or political,” but being effective means a certain amount of jostling with peers, resourcefulness regarding how you accomplish your goals, and a certain amount of image management so your team gets credit for what they have done. It’s not an easy job to do well, but I understand why some people enjoy it.

I wonder what would happen if there were not politicians, if the parliament of Europe were the sum of all its citizens voting for laws in some sort of mega-stack-overflow consensus system. A part of me wants to believe this madness would end. Another part fears that we would try, at least for a few months, total surveillance and bisections as a form of capital punishment. But on the bright side, we would be able to correct for bad legislation much faster.
My bank and my wife's bank both require 2FA. On the app, one of the Fs is having physical access to the device (the phone/app, which was vetted by the bank when the app was installed). On web browsers, these two banks don't offer any factor like that.

In end effect, the banks treat a non-rootable device as suitable as a "something you have" factor, but will not treat a rootable device as that.

It is chalk and cheese.

ML requires training, significant amounts of compute power, and large datasets.

The Apollo program used Kalman filters with limited compute resources.

Kalman filters are for predicting system states in the presence of uncertainty; ML is really searching for and matching patterns, under uncertainty not in its training set, it tends to to find the glitch in the matrix.

food tracking apps

Food tracking is completely useless unless you also have a food scale, which, for whatever reason, is not terribly common in American kitchens. At least I never had one growing up and my Mother fancied herself a serious baker. Volume measurements are terrible if you are trying to track caloric consumption.

And I have not used a food tracking app but they appear to depend on honest inputs. I can just imagine someone telling their friends, "I don't know why I'm gaining weight $FOOD_APP says I'm only eating 1400 calories a day", somehow forgetting to put the 3 glasses of wine they are consuming into the app.

So totally IME but the best way to lose or maintain a healthy weight (whatever that means to you - the world really doesn't care) is to have an honest, internal drive to get it done. No one, no app, is going to do it for you. Do the cookies in the break room look good? They sure do, but I like my body far more than those cookies.

I really dislike the need to artificial decompose crates in this way. If Rust could accurately track dependencies at a more fine-grained level, then no one would do this because it adds complexity. It’s like optimizing assembly but for build systems.

What I mean by this is that if Rust tracked dependency information at the level of “my function too dependent on type declarations XYZ from crate A” vs “my function depends on the implementation of function in crate A”, then the Rust compiler would automatically apply this for you. It wouldn’t eliminate all dependency massaging, but it would eliminate the need for purely mechanical tasks and be more optimal (eg rearranging the internal fields of a crate shouldn’t dirty that dependency chain)

Author here. I've been looking at the 386 if anyone has questions. This post was inspired by userbinator's discussion on HN a couple of weeks ago about how many transistors there are in the 386.
Going further, protocols of Wayland are also notably about passing filehandles to GPU memory (DMA-BUFs) to the compositor. The client allocates the memory, the client draws to it, however it wants, and it uses the Wayland protocols to pass reference to what's it's drawing to the compositor. https://wayland-book.com/surfaces/dmabuf.html

In contast, X was born before os had anything like dma-buf. X has all kinds of tools for drawing.

There's a lot griping about how Wayland isn't a monolithic server, how different compositors have to reimplement base capabilities and how this could lead to incompatibilities or different capability sets. Personally I think the fear uncertainty & doubt is overblow (open progress and possibility trumps conservative consistency), but I think what's technically interesting about how Wayland compositors work is that the Wayland design leaves so much more to the OS & client than X did. It makes it much more feasible to make a new compositor, since really Wayland is just a buffer manager, for os buffers, allocated by clients. This reinforces, to me, your proposition that Wayland is much more clean, by having to invent so very much less than X had to invent (and it truly had to, there we're not good os level constructs to use, the time).
