Right, which is why I thought it was common for people to install the operating system, then immediately use macports or homebrew to go get the GNU coreutils and a modern version of bash because the BSD versions are less friendly.

(Thus continuing and extremely long tradition of layering GNU over the vendor tools; ex. Sun had their own tools, but everyone liked the GNU versions better.)
I think there are plenty of these. What's missing is actually a full featured UI library which looks really good instead of something like Bootstrap.

“Reward” in RL is just a real number that tells an agent how well it’s doing. If the reward is negative that could be called punishment. Importantly the agent is choosing actions to maximize (expected estimated) reward, so only the relative reward values matter. So if an agent is choosing among exactly three actions and it knows they’ll give rewards [0, -1, +1], the agent will behave the same as if the rewards were [-100, -101, -99].
Ok this doesn't answer the question. What are these terrible things people are doing with these models?
The problem is: We don't know, because .. it was censored. If instead it had "What follows is probably dangerous, to not try this without cross-checking" as a warning and then the recipe we could check it what it was.
I mean I think it comes down to semantics. “Kill switch” to me implies the NSA or FBI or my local PD can disable my car for things like unpaid parking tickets or an expired registration or insurance.

What is in the bill sounds like some AI or pseudo-AI that disables the car if it detects I would assume swerving, unusual acceleration or the like, which isn’t far removed from existing pseudo-AI in cars (lane keep assist, driver attention detection, emergency braking when radar detects an imminent collision).
This is creepy AF. “Had an affair with her when she was eleven.”. An affair. This is George Lucas, talking about the Marian character.

G — I was thinking that this old guy could have been his mentor. He could have known this little girl when she was just a kid. Had an affair with her when she was eleven.

L — And he was forty-two.

G — He hasn’t seen her in twelve years. Now she’s twenty-two. It’s a real strange relationship.

S — She had better be older than twenty-two.

G — He’s thirty-five, and he knew her ten years ago when he was twenty-five and she was only twelve.

G — It would be amusing to make her slightly young at the time.

S — And promiscuous. She came onto him.

G — Fifteen is right on the edge. I know it’s an outrageous idea, but it is interesting. Once she’s sixteen or seventeen it’s not interesting anymore. But if she was fifteen and he was twenty-five and they actually had an affair the last time they met. And she was madly in love with him and he…
Not surprised. Though this plan is about easing congestion, it will eventually have to be implemented state wide in order to replace gasoline taxes that go towards road maintenance. By 2035, 45% of new car sales will already be electric, and after that the sale of new non-zero emission cars will be banned altogether. That means by 2050 half of the cars actually on the road will be electric. In just 25 years, there will be roughly 50% less gasoline taxes coming in (give or take - commercial trucking accounts for a lot of it).

That shortfall will need to be made up somehow. License plates will soon be e-paper, and it won't be much of a stretch to imagine them having a transponder in them, or for new cars to be required to have them. Or for every mile of highway to have cameras.
Perhaps. But one could equally well argue that it should be the default simply because for the small number of applications where performance is really constrained by RNG performance one can still override with a less secure algorithm, while having the default the other way opens many applications to security flaws because of plain old oversights. Many programming language or STL features are somewhat less efficient than they could be by default out of similar concerns.
I kinda hate Raiders of the Lost Ark — and the transcript really backs up why.

To be sure, I loved the film when it came out. I enjoyed it for what it was — a fun action romp.

But now some 40 or so years later I recognize it as perhaps the beginning of this downward slide that popular films have been on: films that are no more than a stitching together of action sequences — storyboard movies.

Characters are 2 dimensional, don't change or grow across the film arc, morality is black and white....

I saw one of the "Pirates of the Caribbean" films and was confused several times as to if the film was about to end. An epic battle/action sequence would build and conclude and I would assume we were at the denouement. Alas, no, we had merely wrapped up action-sequence #13 and there were still epic battles to come. (I suppose I should have had a clue since we were only at the 2 hour mark.)

At roughly similar points in their lives, Microsoft and Google initiated video gaming platforms. Microsoft stuck with Xbox through seven years (iirc) of still-unprofitable growth to what it is today. Google abandoned Stadia after three years.

The author does address the perf & efficiency concerns, though I have no opinion on the strength of their conclusions.

But I think this is like everything else: don't prematurely optimize. If you start with a CSPRNG, you're more likely to know that your algorithm is correct, and that you're getting good, random results. If you later profile your code and see that the CSPRNG is a bottleneck, you can swap it out with something faster. And then you'll also have a baseline for comparison, so you'll know if using a weaker PRNG actually has a negative impact on whatever it is you're doing.

(And even if you don't do that profiling, you can swap out the CSPRNG just to see what happens, and get a good idea if the quality of the randomness produced by the PRNG is good enough, based on your experience with the CSPRNG.)
Patents really shouldn't be granted when any competent junior engineer could have designed and implemented the feature. This method is doesn't pass the "nonobvious" test.

The article does at least mention the ChaCha12 impl in that same rust crate:

> The de-facto standard Rust library for random numbers, rand, uses ChaCha12, a reduced-round variant of ChaCha20, as its default PRNG.
I was told that there is a hotline for depressed Japanese when they come to Paris and find out that it's not like the stories they are told.

"Paris Syndrome is a psychological condition experienced almost exclusively by Japanese tourists who are disappointed when the city of lights does not live up to their romantic expectations."

The Japanese Embassy in Paris now has a 24-hour hotline for Japanese tourists suffering from the syndrome, whose symptoms can range from depression and anxiety to acute delusional states, dizziness, sweating, hallucinations and "feelings of persecution."[1]

You can always pre-fetch random bytes in larger blocks. Read a few kB of random bytes at a time, store them in a buffer, and refresh the buffer when you run out.

Agreed on the need for using a predictable seed for testing/simulations, though. Technically you can seed /dev/urandom, but it's per-system, not per-process, so you can't guarantee some other process isn't "interrupting" your random stream.

As a general rule, it is usually safe to assume that any arbitrarily stupid thing that Carface says, he actually said. The reality is generally sillier than anything that anyone could make up.
I'm "special pleading" because I way overgeneralized in my initial attempt at a definition.

> conspiracy consists of one or more people cooperating with "each other" in public.

Public doesn't have to have anything to do with it.

Yes, I overgeneralized. In general the thing to learn is to try to reality check as much as possible.

> The modal case is that, when someone makes a claim about their own motives, they are lying.

Granting this point, a razor would attribute base motivations over complex motivations.

I didn’t read the full deck but my experience has been that while there may be a perfect extension for my use case, even in a large enterprise there is very little appetite for the administrative and ops overhead of running your own Postgres cluster vs what is supported by the cloud provider.
> serving that snippet from one's own domain is still pretty trivial, and indeed what most of the big ad brokers are moving toward

But in this case it's not as trivial to link usage across two domains. Sure, each domain can serve the snippet from its own domain, but the analytics snippet can't cross reference data from other sites which use the same script (unless of course the domain builds some data sharing mechanism - not trivial for non tech companies).

In which case why even serve the snippet form your domain when you can use the container mechanism.

Which 3 cards are your trifecta? I’m guessing green and gold are two of them?
Took me a while to realise Google location and google maps are two different things, google location is actually well broken up my parts, so much so that various delivery services which delivered 10 years ago, slowly stopped bothering since most location services rely on google location ... even the government ffs, but a true blessing to alert who's a phone scammer. It was pretty borked but people in my locale are obviously slowly biting the bullet to make an account to correct their address inaccuracy, less errors I noted the last few months ... but as I see it as a deliberate dark pattern to gather more data so it's not what I encourage people to do.

Instead I tell people to use apple maps or just search for such places in DuckDuckGo, which from my experience is superior in that it returns the right place, last I check google location got half dozen wrong, apple maps via DDG got them perfectly.

Wilsons Promontory National Park, Wilsons Promontory VIC 3960, Australia was the first return in my DDG search.

I am surprised more people are not doing this and its variants. It only takes someone, or ideally a family, willing to start a project that spans multiple decades - something people do all the time with careers and other hobbies.

To me it seems strange how concentrated these efforts are in some communities while seemingly silent in others. Cannabis farmers and pepper farmers nerd out about it a lot. I think dog breeders do although I suspect the existence of “institutions” like AKC and dog shows channels their efforts into ossification of existing breeds. I’m sure plenty of regular livestock breeders are trying but you don’t hear about it and they don’t seem to have done anything truly crazy in a while (that I’m aware of) to the extent Pepper/Cannabis breeders have.

Just to demonstrate what’s possible: Belyayev was able to make huge progress domesticating foxes in just 26 years [0]. Dachshunds [1] didn’t look anything like their current forms until the late 19th century (I think a lot of dog breeds saw huge changes around this time but not certain). Cannabis breeding didn’t even really start until the 1960s and we have an absolutely massive assortment of strains, not just differing in subjective “flavor” and “effects” but with quantifiable massive differences in concentration, overall volume of flower produced, and flowering behavior. Because people didn’t understand what it was, some say that the domestication of yeast [2] didn’t even start until the 16th century.

All that said it baffles me why more people aren’t trying to domesticate bears, otters, lemurs, raccoons, etc. Maybe not bears, but the rest could probably be domesticated in a human lifespan and (not bears) without many expenses year-on-year. I’ve always said I’d try this if I came into the means to do so at a young enough age. Even for medium-scale farmers of your regular-old cow, having some kind of special breed or phenotype seems like a great way to move up-market with a differentiated, unique product.

I spent a few years visiting India and the all cash economy (where paytm was only starting to unfold) was not very intuitive. Nobody has change. Nobody wants to give you change, especially when you’re a foreigner. You just have to carry a large roll of 100 rupee notes around everywhere. Things are better there now, Paytm works wonderfully if you can get on to it, and American Express works for me virtually everywhere else.

Tokyo's metro region is smaller than Paris and fits more than 3 times the people. The metro's top speed is up to 5 times as fast as Paris's metro. It's on a completely different scale. And given that Paris is Europe's second busiest metro system it tells you something.

It is unfortunately a bit hard to compare the length of the system, since it's hard to distinguish between the local lines that are not operated by tokyo metro vs. the longer distance ones.
I spent almost 7 years in Paris, now 6 months in Tokyo. The metro in Paris can't even be compared in terms of cleanliness.

It's really disheartening to think too much about the state of American society. Our country is deeply broken on such a scale that fixing it will take generations if it's possible at all. And there's the absolute certainty that we will fail to act until it's too late: climate, war, civil instability, something will happen, we won't act, and everything will get so much worse.

The problem is so big that is seems utterly impossible.

Even if we elect some bright-eyed big dreamer utpoist as president, the very structure of our government is so rotten that it will not permit any change. It's so broken that it really seems like it'd be less work to tear it all down and start over. Otherwise it's a generations-long battle to reform everything. Can you even imagine what it would take to get Congress to agree to term limits? They can't even agree to pay the national debt.

What can we do? Voting isn't enough, protesting isn't enough, what's left?

> What causes lightening?

> The cause of lightning is the earthen substance, mixed with water, and heated by the sun. Now when the sun heats the earthen substance, and the water mingled therewith, it causeth the earth to be dried up, and then the air is filled with smoke, and the smoke riseth up into the clouds, and there it is mixed with fire; and when the cloud is full, it bursts open, and the smoke goes forth, and strikes against the ground, and thereby makes thunder; and the fire goes before the smoke, and maketh the lightning. Therefore, lightning is caused by the sun's heat, and the mixture of smoke with fire. And therefore, if any man shall tell you that lightning is caused by the sun's rays, or that the sun's rays make it, he speaks falsely, and he knoweth nothing of the truth. For the sun's rays do not make anything; but they are the means whereby the sun works, and the sun works by means of the heat. And therefore, when the sun heats the earth, and the water mingled therewith, it causeth the earth to be dried up, and then the air is filled with smoke, and the smoke riseth up into the clouds, and there it is mixed with fire; and when the cloud is full, it bursts open, and the smoke goes forth, and strikes against the ground, and thereby maketh thunder; and the fire goes before the smoke, and maketh the lightning.
