It's interesting but not yet compelling -- there just isn't enough data to support such an explosive claim, but there's enough to at least warrant further investigation. (My skepticism is somewhat heightened by the fact that the paper keeps insisting that their prices are in NIS when they're actually in agorot, basically a cents-not-dollars error on their part. Still talking about millions of dollars in potentially ill-gotten profits, but not nearly the magnitude they allege.)

I am glad that this is being investigated. One of the effects of climate warming is going to be a requirement for a lot of walls and being able to make those walls without aggravating climate warming as much as concrete use does now, is good for us. (it sucks the walls will be needed but alas that ship appears to have sailed).
wow nice piece, congratulations on launching this! I'm amazed how it works cross-platform!
The problem isn't the type, it's the bits. If you convert from Float64, you'll get garbage bits once you go past the bits determined by float64:

julia> BigFloat(1.1)
1.100000000000000088817841970012523233890533447265625

I'd recommend using the big string macro though isntead of converting explictly from a string:

julia> big"1.1"
1.100000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000003
The update at the bottom of the article is the most damning in my opinion. You can host your own, but unlike a password there is no promise that your self-hosted version will be compatible with a service.
In this case it was apparently proven enough that the place wanted to fire the person, the union said "you can't fire him but you can escort him out and tell him never to come back" so being accused is just the tripwire that brings the rocks down. Don't pile rocks up there in the first place and there aren't rocks to fall!
HTPL?

I appreciate their joke, but “HyperText Markup Language, the markup language” is a little redundant.

Some of us have had to include XSLT programming in our careers. We have seen into the dark abyss… and been paid to do it!
This. People in less free countries can still get unfiltered news even though all internet connections were severed and/or all local stations have been shutoff or are controlled by the government. All it takes is a small pocket receiver which does not radiate anything. ...well actually it does, but that's another story, and detection is quite hard if not performed from close distance.
The problem typically is that motion interpolation isn't consistently smooth. Generally a fixed framerate 30fps will seem smoother than something that goes between 40-60fps. Our brains are sensitive to changes in the pacing.
I used to think that but now I’m not so sure. Yeah 24fps is bad for panning and sweeping movements, but….

There is something about 24fps that I believe may have something to do with how the eye or brain works that makes viewing more immersive. Perhaps it’s due to historical cultural reasons, but I’m not sure that totally explains it.

FWIW I play valorant on a 390fps monitor so I am not a “the eye can only see 60fps” truther.
The screenshots in the Play Store make it seem like the same app I see in iOS.
"em" and "strong" are locale and medium neutral ways to signal intent. For example, most non-Latin scripts don't have an italic form, but rather use a different mechanism to signal emphasis. As well, screen readers and even high-contrast views may not work well with such things as italic and bold, and need a different mechanism to signal emphasis and strong.

Also, underline doesn't work for vertically oriented scripts, and is usually just another way to emphasize, which is why it was moved to styling instead.
> recently play list stopped syncing between my phone and my desktop app after 2022 for some reason. Is it a bug or they just stop doing this since it costs more to sync?

You can use linux namespaces or a tool like bubblewrap to sandbox the process which makes it reasonably secure. However if you're running a GUI app that rendres to an X11 server all your security gains go out the window.
Same. It's more noticeable on large screens because more is in the peripheral vision. Screens are larger today (and perhaps people are putting bigger TVs into smaller rooms than before) so we see more of the screen in our peripheral vision than before.

Peripheral vision has a lot of rods (instead of cones) which are more sensitive to rapid motion. I can certainly pick up flicker and "perceive the frames" more clearly when looking in my peripheral vision.

Same goes for the old CRT monitors: 60 Hz was an absolute no-no, 85 was tolerable but higher was better.

Edit: CRTs were worse, of course, because they were constantly flashing light-dark, unlike LCDs which simply transition from frame to frame.
Or more to the point "why should we have a separate set of laws for men and for corporations?"

I do feel a lot of these attempts to provide one set of rules for people and one set of rules for everything else will fail in the US due to "corporations are people too".

Unless of course corporations actually want these rules as it further entrenches their power.
I'm not talking about style, I'm talking about logic. Some logic is easier to follow than others, and as mentioned this is not exact and somewhat fuzzy, but "every logic is equal to every other logic" is obviously nonsense. All other things being equal two "if" statements are better than nine "if" statements.

I don't care about style; as far as I'm concerned it's "do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the style guide" (well, within some obvious limits of reason). I don't even care about consistency all that much.
You can make adjustments for response bias, but as the bias increases, the adjustments have to as well. That amplifies error bars, which makes the insights less useful.
I suppose old hardware restoration falls under the “hobbyist” label?
> And thus, by convention, big-O notation typically uses an `n` that is defined in terms of units of bits and not just bits themselves. This is why it can make sense to declare something O(1) even when it might actually be O(logn) where n is the number of bits in the input.

I don't disagree with this at all, now the question is: what is n in the case we are talking about? That goes to infinity as we evaluate the cost of this cache system, allowing us to use *asymptotic O notation*?

If I remember correctly some old textbooks I've read, these lines were usually made of invar or a similar alloy to avoid the thermal expansion, and the torsional wave spreads slower (around 3km/s). Reflections were dampened using rubber pads.

Very common for video footage lower than 40FPS. It doesn’t matter what the source is (AppleTV, laptop with HDMI, nvidia shield, PS5) - this is very noticeable to a large chunk of the population.
> Usually, the code review is the very last step before value becomes available to the business. There is absolutely no reason to delay a code review in this case, none, whatsoever.

Even if I was just working on another feature, that's questionable, because it only works if earlier-stage work might not ship at all; otherwise a delay at the beginning is the same as delay at the end, and overhead from context switching means you should prioritize whatever you're already doing.

But where it really gets absurd to claim that code review is always the highest possible priority is that I never said what I was working on at the time. Maybe I'm working on incident response - "Oh, sorry $BIGGEST_CUSTOMER, I know your prod instance is down and you're losing thousands of dollars per minute, but I just have to pop off for a bit because one of my peers needs me to code review a way to make forms load 0.2 seconds faster!". Maybe I'm working on a different feature, but it's one that will give the company more value (I have been in conversations to the tune of "we need this feature so we can close with this lucrative customer"). Maybe the other thing I'm doing is someone else's code review!

Now to be fair, I think there is real value in lowering the turnaround time on reviews. I could even see an argument for having someone who does code reviews to the exclusion of all else (which kinda sounds like the role you're playing in your company), provided that's known and factored in when handing them work. The only reason I think your position is unreasonable is that you've thrown out any notion of triage or nuance and pinned reviews to the very highest priority above all else.
I think people blamed the frame rate, but for me it was the rest of the effects that put me off, faces were too softened, lots of scenes had weird color saturation, as others mentioned there was a lot of motion blur, compared to LOTR the VFX really pulled me out of lots of scenes.
Aternos (a free/ad-supported Minecraft server host) backs up a user’s servers to a user-provided Google Drive account. Google Drive allows apps to store hidden data that the user cannot directly see or modify, which is useful from a security perspective on Aternos, as server backups can contain executable jar files.
One of the many things that pissed me off about it was they didn't even try to match her up with a prof in her specialty. Just threw her to the next prof available, because "Fuck it, not my life. That'll be $14k..thanks!"
Most difficult concept to grasp is "stop mowing for some months and they will come".

People has been brain-wired for generations with the absurd idea that everybody must to play golf in their lawns, and spend the weekends mowing, or will be tagged as a lousy bad neighbor. Many of the species that were easy to found some decades ago vanished locally by this ignorant mentality.

But is so simple as letting a part of the lawn more natural and cut it three times a year; and avoid poisons at your home that don't solve anything. Introduce some wildflowers and people suddenly starts changing their view.

Assure to include a wild hedgerow somewhere in your property with a mix of native flowering and nurturing shrubs and; if you are interested in butterflies; place a moth trap near this shrubs. You will be surprised.
This chip has 0 logical qubits, for any reasonable definition of logical qubit: it’s not good enough (yet) to offer substantial error suppression by using a quantum error correcting code. (Disclosure: work for Google’s quantum effort)

Look at the graph. Downward trend of a couple of years have been common, it is much too early to assume anything based on this. Example: in 1998, the last record was 1987.

I guess you and I see different things: I see people protesting Israel's response to Hamas' attacks of October 7th. You seem to see harassment of Jewish students. I don't think we will ever close that gap.
Could be misremembering, but IIRC it was called Compiler Explorer and used to live only on a subdomain of godbolt.org. But, it was so useful that it became presumably vastly higher traffic than the personal homepage part and people often referred to it as just "Godbolt" probably because it sounds cooler and is shorter than saying "Compiler Explorer" (and it may not be obvious the domain name is a last name rather than just a cool name for something.)

When a university focuses on everything except education, there is a problem.
There is currently no evidence that Iran or Qatar knew about the timing of the attacks, and the US's position is that they don't believe it was known.

See : https://www.reuters.com/world/initial-us-intelligence-shows-...

> Initial U.S. intelligence reports show that some Iranian leaders were surprised by the Islamist group's unprecedented attack from Gaza, U.S. sources said on Wednesday.

> A U.S. official said, however, that Iran, Israel's regional arch-foe, had likely been aware that Hamas was planning to take action against Israel "but without the precise timing or scope of what occurred" last weekend.

It's also a fairly low amount of money for already-rich Qatari royalty to risk running afoul of their access to US markets.
> If you want "leverage," the best way to achieve that is to make yourself more valuable, not less.

This is really irrespective of union membership. Sometimes people have this odd view of unions as "Now you're basically consigning yourself to 'lowest common denominator' employee", but that need not be the case. There are many unions that have vastly different pay scales and include "stars" (think actors' unions, sports players' unions, etc.) Even Tom Cruise joined the negotiations as a SAG member, and my guess is he's got plenty of leverage all by himself: https://www.vanityfair.com/hollywood/2023/07/tom-cruise-repo...
We upgrade our distros pretty much fearlessly, all the time. While I have had breakage from Kernel upgrades, they've been very rare (and generally related to third party closed drivers). Kubernetes is _not_ more complicated than the Linux kernel, but it is much more dangerous to upgrade in place.

There are millions of Americans who still don’t have any broadband internet options because they live in rural areas where fiber will NEVER be laid. The first priority should be to fully fund broadband satellite internet, which is the ONLY way rural Americans will ever get broadband internet. Giving $14 billion in small discounts to people with good existing services should not be happening while so many people have no service at all.

(And, in Julia’s defense, this is all spelled out in the documentation, immediately accessible from the REPL. I just never read it carefully enough.)
Monitoring production is the piece I was missing. Was thinking of it as strictly for development.

Unless it adds a bunch of overhead, seems like a no-brainer to enable.
EKS still supports 1.24+ as part of "standard support". Upstream only supports 1.26+ (upstream's policy is "latest 3 versions").
If it’s blurry or smeary then your TV / source is doing it very wrong or just can’t keep up or is too low resolution / lacks quality upscaling.
E.g. javascript can have thousands of subpackages/dependencies and it starts up instantly. Scipy is huge but importing it is practically instant. "Classic" AOT can take ages to compile, but it doesn't have to compile on every run.

JS does this by multi-phase JIT. Python by being dog slow in the execution and AOT by being dog slow in the compilation.

I think Julia's "JIT-AOT" may be a good approach (and perhaps almost necessary for Julia's dispatch) too but it seems to be very hard to make start up fast.
There's also this: https://www.nytimes.com/2018/02/09/us/oxford-comma-maine.htm...

Same with all the other rants above. Turning off autoplay in Youtube has become a weekly tradition here, like watering the cactus.
Apple Music (Jun 2015) and Google Play Music (Nov 2011) launched after Spotify (Jul 2011 in the US). I think the 4 year delay by Apple is what allowed Spotify to become so popular in the first place.

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

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

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

The problem for Spotify is that they need a far bigger share of the market to be able to have negotiating power against the 3 record labels that they have to buy the music from. Apple/Alphabet/Amazon do not care as much because re-selling the music at cost or even as a loss leader is not a big deal to them.
EVs are an important move but they seem to get too much airtime: Worldwide EVs can remove at most 1/6th of the CO2. EVs definitely change our manufacturing base to be more electricity friendly, and they seem to be making consumers more concientious towards reducing CO2 usage.

Electricity and heat 15.09Gt
Transport 8.08Gt
Manufacturing and construction 6.17Gt

Industry 2.79Gt

These are terms from economics and terms from real life butting heads. The morality of economics is all over the place, so a moral judgement such as whether a price is "fair" or "just" of course will not make sense in economics. That doesn't mean the concept is novel, unusual, or unreasonable, it's just not expressed through the medium of economics. The idea of price gouging is as old as society itself. We have found evidence of price gouging in mesopotamia (Ea Nasir memes being popular examples), so the idea that politicians invented the idea of using control of prices in a cruel or unfair way is silly. Just because we're talking about the economy doesn't mean ideas outside of economics aren't relevant.

To add to the excellent resources that have already been posted, Chapter 9 of Jurafsky and Martin's "Speech and Language Processing" has a nice overview of attention, and the next chapter talks specifically about the Transformer architecture: https://web.stanford.edu/~jurafsky/slp3/
So given a start state and a library of valid transitions, it's easy to create a (target, path, destination) tuple that's valid (if you don't care what the destination is). It's easy to check if a (target, path, destination) tuple is valid. It's just really hard to find the path given just the target and the destination.

This sounds like it has properties in common with "multiply two very large primes to create a very large composite number". Could any of this math be used as the basis for a cryptosystem?
A deadline implies the upper limit of error bar cannot exceed it. That means you need to appropriately buffer to hit the deadline.
Comparing a single function to an entire ecosystem is crazy. Making an LTS imposes a skew of compatibility and support to all downstream vendors as well as the core team. The core team has done a great job on keeping GAed resources stable across releases. Understand there’s more to it than that but you should be regularly upgrading your dependencies as par-four the course not swallowing an elephant every 2 years or whenever a CVE forces your hand. The book Accelerate highlights this quite succinctly.
