Is there a less 'wordy' way to say that? 'From then on' is longer and worse to type. That matters to me more on (autocapitalising) mobile than it perhaps does otherwise.

I don't even really follow your point. Surely if I am 'too prescriptive' in wanting proper capitalisation, that is .. not exactly inconsistent with a 'wordy' choice of word anyway?
I can’t seem to find it now, but I remember a news story a while back where a police agency was able to unlock an iPhone with a 6 digit numeric passcode in a little over a year, bypassing the hardware security module and time limits.

First off, I'm American. I'm complaining about my own culture.

It's interesting that you're using active language ("pushed on") for kids browsing and seeing something. It's possible (likely, even) that "Artistic nudes" should have an 18+ tag on them that
1. Prevents an under 18 user from seeing them and
2. Is easily filtered out.

I'm kind of astonished that isn't already the case.

But I also think one thing that's happening is a bunch of people are taking the opportunity of Twitch expanding what's allowed to flagrantly break the expanded rules. And it's always a little funny to me when people say "People are flagrantly breaking the rules! We need tighter rules!"
No, I really think the author himself was thinking he would get a lot more out of it, otherwise he would've have buried the result all the way at the end of a giant wall of text.

This is the huge part. You found the bug, so your anxious mind is calmed, but you did NOT write the first fix that came to mind, so you have time to mull it over.

Often you realize sometime in the night that the first fix would have had other subtle issues.

And you’re less likely to throw a quick fix on in the morning.
Depends on how much you care about privacy I guess.

Everyone I know switched to uBlock after AdBlock introduced their "acceptable ad" program. It very quickly turned into "pay us to not block your ads".

Now they're intentionally disrupting and nagging users to give them money. What "premium" features can an ad blocker even have?

Why pay AdBlock, who does not care about your security or privacy, when uBlock exists, is free, and is generally better all around?

I find these kinds of practices entirely unacceptable so I don't use them.

I think companies in this "data analytics platform but with LLM integration" space are going to struggle in the next few years. The pain points of analytics are completely different than traditional software engineering, and things that LLMs help the most with (writing boilerplate code, bouncing between different frameworks, handling tests and docs) aren't serious issues in analytics work. I use copilot religiously for webdev work but find it completely useless for analytics.
It's an orthonormal basis. See my comment here[0] for more on why the forward and inverse transforms look similar (I've written e_w to mean e^iwt, but we want to think of it as a vector). The forward direction is doing a dot product with an exponential with a specific frequency to get the transform at that frequency (i.e. the function's projection/component at that frequency), which is a sum over the entire time basis. The inverse transform sums over all components/projections of the function at each frequency to rebuild the function. This is how you do an expansion in terms of orthogonal projections in any dimension.

This also explains why the forward transform has a minus and the inverse doesn't: a complex dot product sums over complexConjugate(v_i)*w_i, while the inverse/reconstruction just sums over the basis exponentials scaled by the Fourier coefficient for that frequency.

You can also prove that the sum over all imaginary exponentials is Dirac delta[1], so you could think of the inverse transform as being a dot product with delta to get the function at a specific time, and that dot product is a sum over the frequency basis.

“The first thing to understand is that a big exercise is not the military equivalent of a sports game. You don’t throw a bunch of men and equipment into an exercise area, then say “right, let’s see who’s best”. Millennium Challenge 2002 was intended primarily to test a set of operational concepts that the Rumsfeld DoD was pushing.1 Other exercises are intended more as full-scale training for the relevant forces, to teach people how the whole system works together at the same time. This is also a secondary goal of exercises like MC02. In no case are we simply trying to see who wins, so if one side does something unexpected that would bring a real operation to a premature end, as Van Riper did, it makes sense to learn lessons from it, reset, and continue on.”

I'm not sure about that. An invasion of Iran could cause significant budgetary and institutional harm, as well as destroying trust in the US's leadership position in the world and in the rules-based international order on which international US power depends.

Iran would be the most powerful foe since WWII (perhaps not counting China's involvement in the Korean War, but afaik China's only power then was masses of soldiers). They are more wealthy, more populous, and more politically, economically, and militarily capable than Iraq and Afghanistan combined - possibly more than all foes since WWII combined. Geographically, they are mostly mountains, especially along their coast [0]. They have been preparing for generations to fight off the US.

After Vietnam the US military was a mess for many years, arguably until the Gulf War. Also, weakness creates a negative reinforcement loop: When enemies and competitors see the US weakened or just consumed with a problem, they will make moves that worsen the US's situation.

(Just look at this map of Iranian topography:)

I am pleasantly surprised at how the monotonous crunch of the author’s meandering monosyllables really underscores how wrong he is. At times it’s forced caveman speech -- oops, I mean “words of ones who lived before books in caves and did not talk good.” At other times it seems to be railing against embellishment and condensing ideas—for which I prefer Strunk and White’s “omit needless words” dictum, as, I mean, how embellished is this:

What about text input? That's often where this kind of solution is lacking for more general-purpose use.

Does it support selection? Cut and paste? European languages? Chinese and Arabic? Hiding and showing the virtual keyboard as appropriate?
I don't think there's a single reason why European countries in general aren't always as competitive and/or developed as they could be.

In the case of Italy, there's an absolutely massive north-south divide, the total breakdown of the political system in the 90s followed by a succession of mostly awful (and short-lived) governments, a general skepticism towards the common good and, in the South, the Mafia. In the case of Spain, it used to be a dictatorship until the 70s and there's still tension between the various language communities. I don't know enough about France, but it probably has its fair share of issues as well.

Common to the EU as a whole is a lack of a common language (an app in English or Chinese can just naturally target a much wider audience), the Euro crisis (and austerity politics), the current energy crisis, the migration crisis, etc. Also, almost all European countries and especially their democracies are really young compared to the US.

And yes, I do think that there's also a fair share of Europeans that are just complacent and think that the good days will last forever, but I'm not sure that's the biggest factor.
Well, it synthesized nice square-ish waves of different lengths. I'd say that's enough for me

1. Because in much of the world, HOTASes are taxed at ludicrous import rates and are not affordable.

2. Because the Xbox and PS5 gamepads are better designed and more reliable than any flight stick under $135. Remember, these gamepads have 7 figure R&D budgets, and are used by real world soldiers to control some drones and robots.

3. Because they're 100% viable. I personally know two people who can fly better on a gamepad - including formation flight, air refueling, carrier landings and all combat roles - than I can on $1000 of HOTAS.

4. Because portability is useful for people who travel, such as one of my wingmen who is active duty US military. When deployed he has his gaming laptop and a gamepad.

Your attitude is exclusionary, acidic and outdated.

P.S. As mentioned IR trackers use a multiplier curve, so on mine a 20 degree movement gets multiplied to 180 degrees in game. It feels very natural and intuitive.

Also, you don't need rudder pedals at all. The executive producer of DCS World is wheelchair bound, and simply uses an input on his throttle to control the rudder. This is the person who makes the Apache tutorial videos, BTW.

I'm talking about what would be the point for someone to add ROCm support to various pieces of software which currently require CUDA, as IMHO this is the core context not only of this thread but of the whole discussion of this article - about ROCm becoming a widely used replacement or alternative for CUDA.

> "ROCm is primarily targeted at discrete professional GPUs"

That's kind of true, and that is a big part of the problem - while AMD has this stance, ROCm won't threaten to replace or even meet CUDA, which has a much broader target; if you and/or AMD want to go in this direction, that's completely fine, that is a valuable niche - but limiting the application to that niche clearly is not "doubling down on ROCm" as a competitor for CUDA, and that disproves the TFA claim by Intel that "the entire industry is motivated to eliminate CUDA", because ROCm isn't even trying to compete with CUDA at the core niches which grant CUDA its staying power unless it goes way beyond merely targeting discrete professional GPUs.

Fifty years ago, when I had nothing to do with the tech industry, I knew that IBM made computers. I didn't know what those computers looked like or who used them, but I knew they made them.
I worked at IBM Research in 2003 for a year. There were a ton of extremely bright people there. It was pretty cool to go around a corner and see an office that belonged to Benoit Mandelbrot. Another office had the name tag of one of the "Design Patterns" guys.

But it felt like IBM Research was totally disconnected from the actual business of IBM. The switch away from pensions also seemed to make IBM way less attractive for new hires.
Okay. I think you might be yelling at the wrong guy; the conclusion you seem to have drawn is not at all the assertion I was intending to make.

To me, "acting like a human" is quite distinct from being a human or being afforded the same rights as humans. I'm not anthropomorphizing LLMs so much as I'm observing that they've been built to predict anthropic output. So, if you want to elicit specific behavior from them, one approach would be to ask yourself how you'd elicit that behavior from a human, and try that.

For the record, my current thinking is that I also don't think ML model output should be copyrightable, unless the operator holds unambiguous rights to all the data used for training. And I think it's a bummer that every second article I click on from here seems to be headed with an ML-generated image.

> First of all, the Phillips curve, really? That's a flawed boomer way to correlate inflation and employment

Economics 101 always starts from the basics.

It is indeed the case that all things about the economy can get more complicated.

But, when starting out from the beginning, it is important to learn the baseline foundations before moving on to more complicated special cases.

Kind of like how in physics they start you off with frictionless, spherical cows.

The same way of learning applies to economics as well.

Also, if is important to note how wildly different your statements are from what you were saying at the beginning.

If you agree that companies aren't just all deciding together to have layoffs at once, and it is instead a complicated result of interest rates (feel free to say it is the result of the models that come after the Philips Curve!), then I am glad to have moved you on your position.
That's a pretty good theory/explanation, tbh.
Isn't that the benefit of such a scheme? You ask for my password, I say no, you hit me with a $5 wrench, I say no. You keep hitting me, I input the decoy password and you think that is all the crypto (or content or whatever) I have.

Generally speaking, if you non-cooperate with the police that’s one class of offense, but if you lie to the police (that’s what this would be seen as) and they catch you it’s a whole ‘nother level of offense.

In general, if you’re thinking about interactions with the police and you have an idea that feels “clever”, it is a bad idea.

I do not think you understand what Iran is.

It's an emerging country. It's gigantic. It's more than twice Afghanistan population, but with actual production facilities. They are richer than Irak was, but they have mountains.

Also, Ismail Khan is likely in Iran, but still have his power base in Afghanistan.
Likely, Taliban warriors won't care about ideological differences and go fight on the Iran side even without him.

You have to see Iran like an ex-USSR nation. You do not want to invade. It would be too costly. At least Vietnam War level.
