Sorry, I'm not quite following, there seems to be a disconnection.

First, I thought going first in chess is generally considered an advantage. Even the wiki article states that. Or at least says there's a 10% increased win rate.

Second, I still don't get why passing is the important aspect. I thought the important aspect is symmetry. I mean I can understand this in nim since that symmetry is that killer aspect that makes for the easy analysis of a solution.

When I said I'm not a game theory person I didn't mean I have no game theory experience but that's not what I study. I'm on the mathy side of ML but not so much in RL. You can use math with me if that makes things easier (in fact, I love math. Please do. RL notation doesn't scare me but rather weirds me out that it scares others) because I think we're getting lost in the conditions.

This provided some great context for one of my favorite poetry books, The Rag and Bone Shop of the Heart: A Poetry Anthology (1992). I never understood that the title referred to an actual profession. When I tried to look it up several years ago, all I got was an explanation that it's meaning was figurative. That's one mystery solved.

Those masterful images because complete
Grew in pure mind, but out of what began?
A mound of refuse or the sweeping of a street,
Old kettles, old bottles, and a broken can,
Old iron, old bones, old rags, and that raving slut
Who keeps the till. Now that my ladder's gone,
I must lie down where all the ladders start,
In the foul rag-and-bone shop of the heart.

- William Butler Yeats

Well, my teenage self would have loved to see an indie dev tool like this around in the 90s. The N64 was famously starved for RPGs after the SNES had been one of the genre's most prolific platforms.
It's so bizarre that this article considers forcing the Federal government to operate within legal limits to be terrifying. This is not an actual problem. If there is a legitimate need for more governmental authority then that can be addressed through the defined legislative process.
I appreciate the correction and the reference. I am suprised that they decided to put gambling disorder with the substance abuse disorders under "Substance-related and addictive disorders". But the bulk of the paper is about how all the other behavior disorders besides gambling do not have sufficient evidence to include them with the addiction disorders. This continues to support my point, re: interaction with websites.

>reflecting ongoing evidence that gambling disorder triggers reward pathways in the brain the same way that drugs do.

Yes, people find things that are intermittently rewarding to have more incentive salience eventually. But gambling with random operant condition is not hijacking those neuronal populations responsible for reward prediction (like the dopaminergic neurons of the ventral tegmental area) and activating them in the absence of reward. It is merely reacting appropriately to actual reward as encoded by activation of the glutamergic populations of the shell of the nucleus accumbens (at least). That's a huge difference... though apparently not big enough to stem the political and social tides.
Thanks for making this. Immediately useful.
Video decoding works by reading and writing pixels to the same buffers you use for displaying them, so you could see a lot of how it works by watching the accesses there.
lxgr explained why this isn't really the case on the radio side. What you're actually experiencing is you went from using a phone that had no backlit screen, no apps, no OTA app updates, no push notifications, no AI-enhanced photos, and a toy CPU to a full-fledged computer in your pocket.

English isn't my first language but "but explodes seconds later" implies to me the fact it reached space doesn't actually matter and the whole thing is a failure.

"I had a beautiful wedding. The walls were yellow", isn't quite the same and "I had a beautiful wedding, but the walls were yellow."

In the same way, it would be more neutral (at least to my French speaking ears) to say "It reached space and exploded seconds later."
And yet no bird ever broke the sound barrier. Humans make things that exceed anything in nature. Thought will only be another example.

The most important part:

> we’ve decided to remove Xorg server and other X servers (except Xwayland) from RHEL 10 and the following releases

Isn't RHEL supposed to be the distro that gives you long-term support and stability for things? Why are they committing to remove X before Wayland gets full feature parity with it?
> In addition to dropping its magazine format, PopSci laid off several employees earlier this month, leaving around five editorial staff members and “a few” workers on the publication’s commerce team, according to Axios.

Does this mean they no longer have any writers? Or are they saying that the editorial staff has been cut to five? Do they just oversee freelance journalists?
I did this for a while, but there are some features of things like Jellyfin that attracted me and I've gotten value out of. A major one is maintaining a record of your progress. Depending on your viewing habits, including how many devices you may use, as well as other aspects, this can be very useful. For example: watching a video on a desktop computer in one room and resuming its playback in another room.

The usual metric is ton-kilometers of freight, not gross tonnage. Going by gross tonnage alone overweights the impact of last-kilometer freight, which is almost always by road.

Measured by ton-kilometers, the EU moves about 5% of freight by rail, whereas the US moves about 28% of freight by rail.

The fact that it is tangentially related to the post doesn't make it any less valuable.

As a non-native speaker I find this discussion as interesting as the original post. I like to hear native speakers give their "opinions" on all matters language as it lightens some dark alleys of the language that are otherwise inaccessible.

Today's lesson: "it needs repaired" is equally puzzling for some native speakers as it seems to be a regional thing :)

I'm too drunk to comment on that. And I'm online!

Seriously, I feel the same way. As a former teacher, I remember when kids started having smart phones and you'd hear a notification go off in class. Other kids were like, "what was that?" The kid in question only wanted to look down and see what it said.

I soon started joking that the notification was saying, "YOU MATTER!" As if that student was so important that he/she/they could distract a class of 25-30 students.

Kind of like the first time I heard someone talking loudly in a college hallway on their cell phone. I thought it was such a social faux-pax.

Nowadays it's pretty normal for anyone to loudly talk that way to their phone. We only get concerned if there's no phone.
Not going to work already because the whole framing is toward "organizations".

Honestly I kind of assumed that was the future direction, especially with their work on rootful xwayland - I'm surprised that they didn't emphasize that path forward.

Edit: Though I do feel obligated to say that

> Today, Wayland has been recognized as the de-facto windowing and display infrastructure solution.

Is... optimistic. It has been called that, usually by people busy explaining why your use case isn't valid and shut up already about Wayland's shortcomings, but that's not quite the same as it being true.
Every time I post something about this on HN, someone points this out. It’s a fairly obvious idea. Therefore, it does not fit my theory.
This is why the concept of the seedbox exists. Many can be paid for with crypto!
So, nvidia users need not apply then.
Given that they say RHEL 10 will be ~2025, perhaps they're merely optimistic about the next year or two
Again, that depends on what you think the purpose of copyright is.

If you consider public domain to be the default, then you do have an inherent right to consume content. The limitations placed on this right are done for a purpose, to promote more creation via sales. And if sales won't happen, then there's no reason for the copyright.
I’d kind of like real-time tracking of freight trains. There’s a BNSF grade crossing between my home and my parents’ and it would be nice to know whether I should take the 1 mile detour to get to the tunnel beneath the rail yard if there’s a train going to be blocking (I suppose it would also help to have info on the length of the trains so I’d know if the train in front of me is almost clear or if there’s another mile of train behind it).

True, if the language tooling supports that kind of workflow well, and you do it right then it should indeed be a different case.

>modern car is way more reliable and way less work to repair than your MG Midget

My current car, which cannot be jumpstarted since it has a 48v battery for ignition and driving, and has dash-breaking OTA updates requiring a visit to the dealer or a proprietary 1200 usd software, and can be easy stolen by unplugging a headlight and feeding data into the common bus, would disagree.
One would be a singular bespoke (and highly specified) improvement, and the other is likely a generalized flywheel that may keep incentivizing many further improvements
Groening has also said it's pretty much in Oregon, especially since so much in the fictional town is taken from there, where he grew up.

Besides, among what we know is that it's on a coast, so it definitely can't be in Illinois. You can say the show has lots of contradictions, but Springfield being on a coast is pretty consistent.
Was the government less involved?

My general sense was that the government was equally (or more) monetarily involved, in terms of total funding sums.

But less involved with regulating.

Then, inevitably, fraud and scandal happened, which begat additional regulation, which begat regulatory capture by industry.

And then the government stopped directly buying/doing most things, which introduced a new layer of intermediaries, which in turn required additional regulation to police.

The older I get, the more I think paying the graft tax for direct government production but getting a simpler, more manageable/agile system might be a preferable outcome.

But I just went through Springfield Armory last week... which managed to supply 1/2 a Civil War, most of 2 World Wars, and innumerable minor wars from a government enterprise (while innovating). So maybe government successes are readily at hand in my mind.
My suspicion is that nobody could tell the difference between sub milliseconds, and several or even tens of milliseconds so long as the latency in both channels is the same. The stereo imaging isn't going 5to change if the L/R signal transient is at 0.000/0.0001ms, compared to 3.000/3.0001ms. The phase difference is the same.

(Surely that church organ delay is an artefact of the pneumatics, not the speed of sound travel time between the player and the various pipes?)

When I was there Google used multiple Sun/StorageTek tape libraries at each datacenter. The robots handled much of it, but there was still a lot of manual tape loading and unloading performed by technicians. Once tapes were full they were unloaded and hauled off to a secure third-party facility.

pokemon 1st gen had 151 pokemon, making it a pretty recognizable number for pokemon fans, and nothing else of comparable notoriety for 151, and the word choice of "evolve" plus the added emphasis of the quotes in the article, I admit it was subtle and may not have been intended, but my mind instantly made that connection, but on second thought I guess they could have also simply intended "evolve" as a subtle science pun as well
The laws and procedures the court is undoing here were all adopted through the defined legislative process, and could have been adjusted through the defined legislative process if voters’ representatives wanted that done.

Sure, there are professional journalists who do deep dives into political corruption or nefarious dealings between corporations and lobbyists.

Then there are reporters. These are people who write stories for newspapers and are told by their editor to push a narrative because the owner wants to put pressure on a particular sector. They do what they are told because their paycheck is more important that unbiased reporting. Anecdotally I know I am exposed more to these hack reporters in my day to day dealings with my local media outlets than professional journalists and dare I say a lot of other people are too.

This is neat, but (and I say this as a 14+ year diehard Emacs fan and average-skill elisp hacker) this seems like a classic example of things in Emacs world being overly complicated.

I almost didn't comment because I hate to take a cool thing the author did and turn it into a negative, but I've been thinking a lot about this complexity lately because of a recent foray back into the Vim world.

I've been moderately Vim proficient for most of my career, and decided to give things another try now that Neovim and Lua-based configuration is so popular. I was astounded by how simple and straightforward it was to get an LSP + Treesitter + DAP + Telescope, etc setup working, and with a clean and relatively compact amount of code.

It just felt so uncomplicated, and everything just worked. No using temporary bridge packages for treesitter modes, while still needing to copy over your mode hooks and set parent keymaps. Fuzzy completion that is consistent and doesn't depend on which company backend is in use. DAP mode layouts that consistently work as well as e.g. VS Code (I still cannot get Python's Rich library progress bars to show up in dap-mode output on emacs).

I still prefer Emacs, but am glad I went around the block with Neovim. It's inspired me to start a ground up rewrite of my Emacs configuration in the quest for simplicity, so maybe there's hope for my config yet.
I was honestly ready for this to be one sad train icon chugging its way across the United States. I'm really pleased to see it's more than that.

Still! This is something! And this website is cool!
> Brains can also generalize from a single example, unlike neural networks which require thousands if not millions of examples.

Since the other comment already went for the evolution and structure angle, I'll go for the other part. What single example? What test have you seen done on the brain capacity of few weeks old fetuses? Our brains start learning patterns in the world before we are even born. How much input does a baby receive every single second from it's eyes and ears and every other sense?

Even when you are "analyzing" a new object for the first time, you receive a continuous stream of sensory input of it. Our brain even requires that to work, if you put a single frame different in a fast enough display, most times you won't even notice the extra frame and your brain will just ignore it.

This made me go look this up:

Actress Marilu Henner, best known for her role as Elaine Nardo in the hit sitcom Taxi, has a highly superior autobiographical memory (HSAM), a rare condition shared by only 100 people worldwide.

I suspect those 100 people would be able to learn certain material faster than others.

I'm also curious about people who have learned mnemonic tricks. I've seen people memorize the order of the US Presidents in just a few minutes once they are taught a memory trick...

But yeah, the point of the article, in my mind, is that nothing beats investing a lot of time in especially in early childhood exposing people to all kinds of learning opportunities.
> Xwayland should be able to handle most X11 clients that won’t immediately be ported to Wayland, and if needed, our customers will be able to stay on RHEL 9...

For such a drastic change a "should" it's not enough.

X is a moving target, RHEL continuing to support X and push it to customers maintains it's relevance and helps propel it forward. By not channeling resources into supporting and maintaining X, they will simultaneously slow the speed that X is moving, be able to divert more resources to Wayland, and light a fire under the asses of people who haven't transitioned to Wayland.

X is 32 years old and Wayland has been the replacement for it going on 15 years! That's insane, it's time for distros to pick a side. Either continue to support X or switch to Wayland.
My whole climbing crew has made the switch from hats and sunscreen to sunshirts. They fit under a helmet, and they feel less cancery than repeatedly slathering on some goo and crossing your fingers. It's one thing if you're free to roam about to a more comfortable area, but if you're stuck on belay duty on the sunny part of the face, you'll be happier with a sunshirt.

And then you're used to it, and you start wearing them elsewhere too, because why bother with lesser protection?

They may be more popular at higher altitudes than at the beach though. Beach folk have a bit more atmosphere protecting them.
The Oslo accord gives Israel right to control the airspace, but also gives the pale stone the right to operate an airport. So the accord does not give Israel sovereignty over the land.

Generally, a scope probe is best represented as a very small capacitance to ground, followed with a rather large resistance. That capacitance tends to shut most high frequencies to ground.

Of course, as things are with the black arts of RF engineering, there are possible situations where that same probe would make things worse, or appear inductive.
