They do in my town. You have to smack it repeatedly until a white "warte" or "signal kommt" lights up on the signal at the other side of the road, or else it never will change.

They also don't vibrate or give any auditory signal (except when the actual green walk signal comes)... I'm not sure how a blind person could use it because their sensitivity is so low that you have to keep touching, pressing, smacking the touch surface until it registers you and updates the (purely visual) signal on the other side. I ended up just crossing illegally at one crosswalk because the damn thing just wouldn't work.
I'm not going to get into the ideology, but it's disappointing to see a university, of all places, switch from a relatively small provider to a massive megacorp.

So much good opensource software has come from university funding and university-originated projects and you'd kinda hope that that culture pervades. I guess Duke isn't quite Stanford or Berkeley, though.
Rolling shutter could in principle explain this, but it’s probably too fast to capture these three poses which must be temporally rather far apart.
Why would it harm her kids? You can buy a house anytime according to uou. And why should she get the kids? She's better than you by virtue of you being male?

How about people make that judgement based off of evidence not gender.

Additionally my stance isn't that men should get everything. My stance is wealth should be divided according to contribution. Which is in alignment to what you're describing.

My point still stands though. For the overwhelming majority of people and likely munger, the house is the majority of wealth.

And the best case for the kids in this scenario is for the parents to divorce but allow charlie munger to still own half of the house and live in it. That's best for the kids. Best for the kids is not meeting his wife's demands of forcing him to move out and making her own daughter watch him become pathetically destitute. I would hate my own mother if she did that, I cannot respect that even in my own parent.

Extreme practice on 12 tones strictly on piano with hundreds of hours leading to legitimately a much lower performance than someone with 0 training and actual perfect pitch

This is just very, very honed relative pitch

Let's not even mention
(1) people with perfect pitch can identify those pitches with ANY timbre. It doesn't matter the source of the sound
(2) you can hit a mess of notes together and they pick up all of the notes at once

I have been playing piano for years and this exercise on musictheory.net with the piano pitches I can very quickly identify the notes from the pitch but if you play a violin I don't have a clue which note it is.

Long term it's almost unavoidable that open source LLMs start catching up. One factor that's worth considering too is cost. The open source community is much more resource constrained and they've really accelerated the pace of development in <30B parameter models.
No. Rolling shutter should typically be too fast for a shot like that. Much more likely it's a result of 3 photos taken at slightly different times and automatically composited. Appears to be a well known effect.

I know that here in Quebec, you can enroll in university no matter what as long as you are 21 years old and finished high school. Does that happen in Germany? Or is it rare to actually be able to switch between "paths"?
I use Java 11 (actually Eclipse Temurin/Adoptium, formerly known as AdoptOpenJDk) with bits of Java EE 8, it works fine. (Not using the whole EE stack, just select components such as servlets and JAX-RS.) Tried upgrading to Jakarta EE, got hit by needing to upgrade dozens of random open source libraries to newer versions with Jakarta EE support, some of which had breaking changes which have nothing actually to do with Jakarta EE. I’m sure it will get finished eventually.

I recently joined an AI team (platform/infrastructure/apps rather than the actual data science proper) and since then I’m trying to do less and less in Java and more and more in Python-so that mess may be left for someone else to resolve. But Python contains dependency hells of its own

I thought the area of the article that was most interesting surrounded this statement:

There was a lot of acknowledgment of not working in anything close to a perfect system. The whole article had a lot of self-awareness that is hard to find in most institutions.

Duke libraries doesn’t have to have a perfect moral high ground to decide to quit using Basecamp. This isn’t “cancel culture,” this is a project management product that is easily replaceable and probably not even that amazing considering the competition it is up against.

Something Elon Musk should probably learn is that organizations consider it to be risky to work with other companies who can’t maintain professional behavior. Having your senior leadership team keeping a list of funny sounding ethnic names of employees is far away from being professional behavior, and that was only one of the unprofessional pieces of behavior out of many by Basecamp leadership.

Basecamp rejects DEI but DEI is all about reducing risk and increasing innovation and financial performance. It’s already been proven as numerical fact that organizations embracing true diversity financially outperform ones that don’t. DEI is a concept that benefits literally everyone. Bigoted buffoons who don’t believe in it throw their money away by alienating employees and customers.

There’s also another saying: trust is hard to gain and easy to lose. I know people who have had one bad experience and refuse to buy another product again. As an example, I know someone who will never buy a Kia/Hyundai again because of the immobilizer scandal. Same deal with VW and dieselgate. It doesn’t have to be a fully dollars and cents choice. This company pissed me off one time, I’m done with them. Again, not cancel culture.

Seems extremely unlikely. The phone isn’t going to make drastic alterations to reality. It’s just combining multiple exposures. It can’t make someone point a gun if they’re not pointing a gun. You could try to imagine a scenario where someone was moving extremely fast through the frame while someone was whipping a gun around at high speed in the same direction and the phone just happened to stitch two moments a fraction of a second apart such that they look slightly closer together, but to get to that point you’d still need someone pointing a gun in the same direction that someone is going.

It’s really hard to imagine a scenario where two exposures a fraction of a second apart could be stitched together to tell a completely false story, but maybe it exists. In that case, I suspect the lawyers would be all over this explanation to try to dismiss the evidence.

Improper animated GIF decoding is potentially a bug and potentially a security vulnerability. The reality is this leads to duck-tape workarounds and greater tech debt on the production side of the web. Sigh. There are standards, there are expectations, there quirks across N implementations, and MxN layers of duck tape in M consuming implementations. Just one implementation intentionally or unintentionally being different causes M headaches.

Also fun Chromium-derived browserisms:

- Updating while open is allowed and leads to silent and not-so-silent breakage.

- MSFT MDE causes unexpected breakage in fun ways every now and then, including the cause of a crash while dragging a tab on Windows.

- Some flavors of Chromium browsers are broken with IPv6 enabled, leading to an ERR_NETWORK_CHANGED on every nth page visit.
I know what it's like to be in the presence of a typical old truck, compared to a typical modern truck. The modern truck is wider and taller, accelerates faster, and has worse visibility. I'll trust my own eyes and experience over some conveniently angled photos and irrelevant "apples-to-apples". (To extend the analogy: you're doing your comparison using a cultivar hardly anyone buys anymore).

I have been to Naples and don't remember it being anything like as bad, perhaps because the roads were narrower.
In many cities people sit in very limited areas on a very limited number of houses, while continuing to pay taxes on those buildings. This is why I said specifically at scale. And it's nothing about speculation, which I'd say has the connotation of making a profit. Housing is quite similar to education. People are led to believe that the value of their house will endlessly appreciate (in the same way that education is supposed to lead to imminent wealth), so what's the fair price for a house or an education? Literally anything, because it'll be worth more 10 years from now.

But of course this is a fallacy because the value of a house is strictly finite. So we are stuck in an endless loop of bubbles. People buy houses on debt they can't afford until that debt eventually explodes at some point, and the housing market crashes. Then we start pumping it up again. This is also the reason housing prices (as well as education) have skyrocketed far ahead of inflation. The availability of exceptionally high amounts of debt, relative to what people have, seems to be a recurring theme in breaking economic systems on a micro scale. And perhaps we might see such happen on a rather macro scale as well, in the not so distant future.

Green means green, black and clear/bright + soft means ripe, black and opaque/wrinkled + too soft means overripe.

looking at the perfection of Turbo pascal always made me feel stupid. At least it's not just me, wikipedia says:

"Scott MacGregor of Microsoft said that Bill Gates "couldn't understand why our stuff was so slow" compared to Turbo Pascal. "He would bring in poor Greg Whitten [programming director of Microsoft languages] and yell at him for half an hour" because their company was unable to defeat Kahn's small startup, MacGregor recalled.[21] " https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Turbo_Pascal

> The case against serialism is easy.

You can make exactly the same case about tonal voice leading rules too. Rules are a "pointless conceit" by definition. "Free atonality" can, again by definition, do anything it wants, including emiting a J. S. Bach fugue or whatever. This is a tautological case.

In fact the whole point to music is rules. We have expectations about what we hear and how that works and what it means, and you write "new" music by breaking or bending just a few of them, or otherwise finding ways to do stuff other people haven't.

And Schoenberg was trying to find a way to write a new set of rules. It didn't catch on, for the most part, but it wasn't "pointless". You can hear tone rows and learn the rules and "understand" a 12-tone piece in ways that you can't for arbitrary noise. And that's kinda cool.
That’s denoising. Those mosaic like patterns are more pleasing to the eye than a noisy photograph.

The laws of physics put a limit on how well a tiny phone lens and sensor can capture light. We’re not at the limit yet even though hardware is quite good. Still, you wouldn’t like if your phone spat out raw, noisy images everywhere without any processing (beyond what’s necessary to translate it to the right pixel grid and color space).

> A guard shot in the direction of my grandma when she stopped at the railway station. She stopped because she heard people begging for water from the wagons. [...] What she could have done?

Nothing! The expectation is not that she succeeds, only that she tries. She tried, was shot at, and couldn't complete the task. That's not on her. The ask was that she try.

The most anybody can ever do is act when and where it is safe to do so, and remain alive enough to help as often as possible. Resistance and terrorism use the same playbook.

You say that, and it's true, but you miss the big picture. If it doesn't matter, so much effort wouldn't be expended on cancelling and censoring everybody who speaks out against Israel. Why does Israel give so much of a shit what people are saying?

(Answer: even if it changes nothing, it influences public perception. Capturing hearts and minds is usually necessary for a successful campaign.)
It’s unlikely, true. But precisely that makes it so dangerous. If such a picture is presented as evidence in a murder case, the possibility that it is telling the wrong story will be discounted and someone may go to prison for the rest of their lives.
I’m sure for those who encountered it, it’s not easy to dismiss. But it does seem like this might be getting a little extra attention perhaps because it’s relatively uncommon to hear about a flaw in ZFS at all.

Drawbacks and tradeoffs abound, but outright “bugs” doesn’t seem like something ZFS is generally associated with.
No. A rolling shutter deals with different parts of the sensor being exposed at different times within one frame. It generally requires a much faster object (think airplane propeller or light with PWM).
This is effectively multiple frames captured normally and a mistake in the algorithm stitching them into one frame.

It fits the niche that the ranger did 15 years ago. Same as the ranger having the capacity (except for bed) as the f150 the same time ago.

The main thing I recall about TP was that it came with simple, easy to understand code examples for every function that were organized logically and easy to find and use. So as a teenager who barely understood basic I could teach myself TP without the internet, just using the IDE.

So many modern systems do not have anything even close to this. I wonder if its inherent in the nature of the simpler x86 DOS based systems of the time, where its simply impossible with modern pace of change, cross-platform needs, and complexity to have something like that.
I also just got back from Bangkok and frankly crossing busy streets is one of the worst aspects of the place, it really makes it very difficult to easily get around on foot and you are really placing a lot of faith that drivers are actually paying attention when you step out onto a main road.
This article talks a lot about what the salaryman gives to the company (ie 60h a week) but not what the company does. A salaryman is usually set for life. And his company will help him with everything: finding housing, medical expenses, legal issues, etc.

Not saying it makes the crazy work culture good, just that what look in the west as crazy over commitment goes both ways.
Not probably too fast - definitely too fast. Rolling shutter occurs over a single read-out of the sensor, so she'd have to have held all the three poses during the 1/100th of a second or so exposure for it to be possibly related to rolling shutter.
It doesn't have doors that open "like this" though.

> Why is TV worse than a book?

Because of the reach. The percentage of the population that routinely read is small, really surprisingly small. The percentage that watch broadcast 'television' content (whether that be OTA or streaming or whatever) is high. As we've seen recently there's a bunch of people out there who have the propensity to do literally whatever they see someone else doing on the screen, tide pod challenge, devious licks, you name it, if they see someone else doing it then they'll do it too.

I'm not a censorious person at heart but you do have to be very cognizant about what's being broadcast to your population because it's surprisingly easy to stir up enough people to cause issues, especially if they're already stressed, and Northern Ireland in the 80s was a desperately poor and grim place.

One thing to remember about OpenZFS is that it is in many ways a port of a file system more than the file system itself. I could see developers there being less steeped in the file system, and more familiar with the porting layer.

I'm going to spend a moment praising scripts though...

A dozen or more years ago I was running a bunch of backup servers. The backup system was rsync to a zfs, then snapshot the zfs. Then do a rolling delete of snapshots to achieve X daily, Y weekly, and Z monthly copies. This is because the hardlink trick is amazingly inefficient.

I started off using Nevada, but had issues and no real expertise there, so I switched to Linuz with ZFS fuse. That worked about as well as Nevada, but about once a month or two zfs-fuse would die.

I built a script that would simulate the access patterns of the backup systems. I then went through a few iterations with the developers of running the script (which logged its actions as shell commands, so the log could be re-executed), reporting the results to the developers, and them producing a fix. After a few back-and-forths with the developers, zfs-fuse became rock solid for my use case. And the script was the key.
