I’d agree if it applied to normal consumer laptops (even if opt-out) but that doesn’t seem to be the case here.
This technique isn't new. Biologists use it to count the number of fish in a lake. (Catch 100 fish, tag them, wait a week, catch 100 fish again, count the number of tagged fishes in this batch)
My guess, "The Alliance" would be a QAnon trope, a confederation of select "White Hats" in the US military and parts of US government (and other select humans) and some alien "Arcturian" UFO contingent. They are trying to overthrow the Deep State (corrupt civil/intelligence/military service in USA and Western governments) that are colluding with "globalists" and exploitative capitalists to economically and socially oppress "good white people of European descent" and corrupt their morals and dilute their influence and moral strength. Presumably The Alliance chose Trump to become President in 2016 as part of an attempt to awaken the masses and usher in "The Great Reset / The Storm / The Awakening" where global corruption will be exposed, corrupt politicians, businesspeople, officials, cultural influencers will quickly be judged and executed.

There are many variations on this theme, and though not widely held as a belief, elements seep into the wider discourse and thought.

I'm not sure what the aliens' motivation would be in this scheme, and often they're not part of the story.

EDIT: here's a random page that likely will bring more questions than answers but it references the elements described above ... https://divinecosmos.com/davids-blog/22143-moment-of-truth-q... ... there are variations of this conspiracy theory tailored to many different tendencies: New Agers, Evangelical Christians, White Supremacists, Conservative Republicans, etc. For a further look, find interesting interviews with a certain Jan Halper Hayes and her supposed work with USA Space Force. Some of these promoters a true believers, others are grifters. Also ... grand corporatists and communists are usually conflated in these narratives.
Now you're way off the map. The originem claim was that controlled fentanyl dose would decrease overdoses. It wasn't about oxycodone being 'safe' (even though I gave you stats that showed 80% of deaths of from combining drugs), it wasn't about oxycodone vs heroin. Not to mention that way more people take oxycodone than heroin, so even from a stats 101 angle this doesn't make sense. Really, what is the point of a reply like this?
European style option contracts are exercisable/allocated only at the time of expiration.

Whereas American style option contracts can be exercised at any time up to the time of expiration.

The Black-Scholes formula is only applicable to European style option contracts.
Seeing lots of comparisons to Mastodon, Threads, and XTwitter in this thread.

I remember in the days of instant messaging, I had a single client (Adium for Mac OS X) which could talk to AIM, MSN Messenger, Yahoo Messenger, Google Chat, etc. It gave me a unified buddy list, and a unified interface for messaging any of my friends, regardless of the underlying instant messaging provider.

Is anyone working on a similar omniclient for Mastodon/Threads/Bluesky/XTwitter?

If we get to the point where most users are using omniclients of this kind, that helps reduce network effects and lock-in. Seems like the Mastodon/Threads/Bluesky teams would have a strong incentive to collaborate on such a client, in order to reduce XTwitter network effects, essentially joining forces in their own unified network. (I imagine that XTwitter will block API access, at least in the short term.)
I'd clean up the sign up process a bit.

Use PayPal or Stripe asking for a credit card number directly is a big red flag.
Yeah, it must depend on location. But I'm in Seattle—Amazon central—and overnight has recently come to mean 3 days or more. Not always, but regularly. This is the year when I started keeping a spreadsheet of the stated delivery dates vs. the actual delivery dates, because they sort of silently update them and I want some sort of evidence that I'm being gaslit. It's not even that I urgently need the packages, it's more that I need a predictable schedule so that I can plan on being home to pick them up.
Seems like a natural consequence of having "millions of pages", if you think about it? You might have a lot of users, but they're only looking at what they want to look at. The crawlers are hitting every single link, revisiting all the links they've seen before, their traffic scales differently.
signing up was a mistake. i am now condemned to use this in incognito.
They no longer do it as a default, but they absolutely still do it with some couples. IVF is expensive, and miscarriages or lack of implantation is devastating.
If you want to boost your Factorio'ing with memory speeds, you grab a 7800X3D from AMD.

Claims of faster RAM being a significant benefit is and always will be snake oil, unless you have very specific needs and you know what you're doing (no, Factorio usually doesn't fall under this).

For most people, you get faster RAM after you've maxed out everything else and there's nothing left to possibly improve. Because most of the benefit will be in the form of Johnson Stroking than actual performance.
Both Shein and TEMU are taking advantage of two changes to customs rules that have been made in the last 5 years.

First, the de minimis threshold was increased to $800. Second, CBP has introduced a new entry (Type 86) that makes it a lot easier to clear de minimis shipments.

This enables foreign retailers to easily import single shipments to US customers. Because they no longer need to deal with more complicated customs filings, they can instead use air freight and get shipments to customers quickly. They trade customs expense for premium air freight.
The causality version of "cause", not the blame version. Accidents that would not have happened without the system.
Can you elaborate? This sounds interesting!
Second that. Something I put out recently had an (admittedly video heavy) webpage that had 1TB of traffic over the past month. Cloudflare handled it for free for me, but at ArXiv’s scale it’s bound to be a problem.
I couldn’t help but assume this was a paid promotion for Shein disguised as an industry piece.
Such a big fan of this guy. Found him through his UV protection amulet project: https://mitxela.com/projects/amulet
That'd be nice, but we could also just make this hardware normal.

It should be obvious, but "misinformation" is an arbitrary political designation and therefore a constantly moving target. "You should wear an N95 mask to avoid getting COVID" was misinformation in March 2020 but not 3 months later. "Vaccines may not prevent COVID transmission" was misinformation from 2020 until sometime in 2022. "COVID infection may confer significant immunity from future infection" was misinformation for about the same period. The "lab leak hypothesis" was a "racist conspiracy theory" from 2020 until 2023, when it was officially endorsed by YouTube's political sponsors. And so on.
Amazon too.
I live within a half mile of a distribution center, and I've had missed 1 day delivery targets.
Alphabet were investing heavily into this space a while ago, with Thomas Insel leading the research. Their aim was to identify biomarkers of these more serious mental illnesses. Schizophrenia isn't like Huntington where an early predictive diagnosis does little more than inform you of an inevitable debilitating illness. Schizophrenia can be managed, and when it is managed well with early intervention the outcomes can be very good. I oversaw a program that supported sufferers of schizophrenia in the community and we had some staff working with us who were also sufferers. The main difference between those who had positive vs negative outcomes was the way in which the illness was managed at onset (typically between teens to young adulthood). Unfortunately mismanagement during that period could have a massive effect on final outcome, where for example we had 60yo patients suffering PTSD from the way they were treated 40y ago during the onset of their illness.

If there's anything to fear about improved mental health diagnostics it's how this data will be used by insurance companies to exclude customers in countries that lack socialized healthcare (i.e., US).
Why?

You might have forgotten the ultimate rule of road safety: Everything is a tradeoff. Safer is only sometimes better. Otherwise the speed limit would be 10mph, because it's quite a safe speed.

Gmail interoperated with other email providers, so invites worked. Facebook limited signups based on email domain names, not invite codes, so everyone in those email domains could sign up at the same time. Google+, like Bluesky, started with invite codes without a way for communities to join organically.
Still hoping for an official “Tweetdeck-ish” interface choice on the desktop. In the absence thereof, deck.blue isn’t too bad while skyfeed.app, although it seems more technically robust, isn’t exactly eye candy. I know there are others I haven’t yet tried; just would love to see Bluesky itself have something like Mastodon’s “Advanced Web Interface” option.
The censorship levels are off the charts; I am at a basketball game with my wife who is ethnically Chinese. I asked for an image of a Chinese woman dunking a basketball. I was told not only is this inappropriate, but also unrealistic and objectifying.
You are just describing a (good) recommendation algorithm. TikTok's is infamously good at figuring out your niches and catering to your taste by looking at your minute interactions with the content it shows you. My TikTok "for you" page has absolutely 0 mainstream politics, rage bait, or any other "normie" topics. It's mostly technically fascinating stuff and good absurd humor that caters to my absurd taste.

Optimizing for engagement is not inherently bad, nor does it necessarily result in socially suboptimal outcomes. My TikTok feed is very engaging without having to resort to triggering my anger.

A recommendation algorithm that only sticks to a handful of given topics (rage bait and furry porn?) is not a very good one.
Yes, they are not as useful without the media included.
People are supposed to. But just like it’s easier (and more lucrative) to post mistruths for clicks, it’s easier (and more rewarding in terms of interaction and positive reinforcement) to play outrage in your social media reactions. “That was a good article” doesn’t get nearly the thumbs ups or engagement as “that was the worst pile of filth I’ve ever read and here’s why the author is literally Hitler”.

Both are also easier than simply paying for legitimate journalism (witness the vast number of articles here instantly posted to an archive site).

Society is the failure here - and social media is the medium. I say, unironically, on social media.
so you want something akin to how the .NET Framework was included in Windows...

what about different applications requiring different Electron versions?
The issue with that is if there is one or a handful of videos that have a significant portion of all youtube views. Most likely they will not be in your sample which could lead to a big underestimate.
Very cool! Have definitely thought about this for mine, have never actually gotten past looking around and seeing nobody makes them yet. It'd be amazing to throw some bluetooth on there and be able to flash different patterns, or to throw a fullblown mini screen on it...

I wonder how hard it would be to make a set of large-gauge lobe jewelry with a screen in it. Perhaps 1/2" or 3/4" would be doable?

A thought re sales and sizing, though: industrials are usually sold in quarter-inch increments and most people buy 1-2.5" from what I understand, so it should be doable to make them to sell.
But if you have a dedicated spot, then the problem is still solved.
Don't forget about https://old.reddit.com/r/RedditAlternatives/ either.

For Mastodon in particular, people are always talking about the difficulty of getting started. Is there a way to put a porcelain experience on that? Imagine I just enter my credit card info and I have my own instance without having to worry about any sysadmin details. You could monetize the client by charging a small premium above and beyond the baseline server costs.

I want an experience so porcelain that in order to create a new account, I enter my username and it automatically checks its availability across dozens of social sites, then registers me in as seamless a manner as possible. Then when I click post, it by default broadcasts that post across all the accounts I registered.

I suppose this is probably similar to the existing interface for a product such as Hootsuite, no? Maybe the best starting point is check if there's an open-source Hootsuite competitor, then optimize the interface for end users.
Does he use Gmail? Because it gets all of his flight confirmations and Calendar events. Does he use Google Maps, because it gets his realtime location whenever he uses it. If he frequently goes to those cities, they would certainly know if he uses any other Google service.
Academia is usually the last to wake up and smell the coffee on any trend run too far. Marcy should fight back with legal action against both the journals and those making preposterous claims which defame him.
It’s not just location or lateness - though I’ve had lateness on almost every order. I don’t even care if it takes longer it’s if the delivery is estimated for three days, don’t tell me there is a five day delay the day of the delivery.

Last month I had every single subscription switch addresses and had to fix multiple items I didn’t catch - in part because they’ve been coming to my address for a while. And then fixing required that the wrong items arrive before they would be willing to take any action on the problem.

This month I had another regular order and one subscription order get spontaneously canceled and refunded.

Not really?

If a crazy person on the street tells me evolution is real that doesn't mean that evolution isn't real.

The accusation here isn't really a "he said/she said" situation or anything. You can just read the excerpts highlighted and the excerpts from the passages that came before it. As far as I'm concerned, deciding if they are actually substantially similar (and in a meaningful way that undermines the work) is the only thing worth examining.
It mimics Java, so your compiler compiles to a bytecode IR. The compiler as described by the book is a bare-bones recursive descent compiler that doesn't do any AST analysis. The compiler is for a toy language called Jack (fake Java) that was intentionally designed to be easy to write a compiler for. L(1) grammar I believe. They don't really talk about error handling or more complex compiler topics. No optimization methods are covered.

N2Tetris is like doing the 20% to get the 80% of every layer of abstraction. It really scopes down each project so you can cover every layer between logic gates and a high level language with built in OS APIs. I think it's a fantastic course but if you're looking to learn specifically about compilers I'm not sure if it'll meet your needs.

You still can. I know I would. Even in my free time I’m always working on something, I just wish I had more time for my solo projects. Given time I’m sure atleast a small number of those would turn into profitable ventures.

It’s money to live a basic life with adequate housing, food and healthcare. If people want to drop out they can comfortably but a LOT won’t.
Semi colons are a little understood and rarely used punctuation symbol, the mark of a true intellectual; it's only natural then, that those of us that know how the world really works use them more than others - and then there are those that think they know how they world works, but are mistaken: they similarly misuse the semicolons.
Who needs evidence when there is no real enforceable penalty for doing so? Credit card companies sell our data. Ancestry services probably sell our data. They might put signs in the windows saying "your data is safe with us" but that's pretty much where any amount of trust we place in these companies ends and becomes blind faith.
If you want to collaborate, that’s what setting up a meeting with an agenda is for.
The Nand2Tetris computer is a bad fit for 74xx chips and breadboards. It's 16 bit, for one thing, which implies a lot of chips and a lot of wires on a lot of breadboards, and the usual current problems that come with that. Better have a good source and an oscilloscope nearby. Also, the virtual design sweeps a lot of important timing issues under the rug, so you need some EE chops to translate it correctly to real hardware.

I know of a few people who managed to get a working Nand2Tetris computer on breadboards, but it took a lot more time and money than they thought it would.

On FPGA, though, it works nicely.

Currently, I just plug into my friends’ charger, and it goes on their electric bill.

I usually bring 10x the dollar value of the charge in booze and food, so it doesn’t matter.

Also, they don’t have to stress out over trying to figure out how to pair my car to their house and charge me $5 while they’re trying to plate dinner and deal with their kids.

If they cared about the $5 (or if I had a hummer and they had a DC fast charger, so it was $20-50) I’d happily pay cash or apple pay or venmo or really any option other than authenticating with their landlord.
The bank switching seems to provide a similar thing though.

You can damage a car in a few minutes of driving.

>Jain didn't damage the car

You know that how?

Jain did damage that car.

> Tesla initially agreed Jain didn't damage the car. Then Tesla changed its tune and claimed Jain damaged the car.

They did an initial assessment and a more thorough assessment in the shop showed it was external damage.
i'm really disappointed with the twitter alternatives. i thought one might feel like early twitter before the culture war takeover, but bsky and mastodon are just left wing hugbox versions of the same thing. threads is nothing but brands, E-list "celebrities" and "influencers" out for a buck. i've even gotten desperate enough to try substack notes, but it's just a tacked-on halfass feature. is there really no choice but to fight the hackernews ui to find technical discussions on interesting topics?
Can’t believe I never thought of piping info output, but of course it works as a Unix utility should. Nicely parallels the dual HTML versions
The most common benchmarks (e.g. flame_sla 10k) overstate the performance of the X3D processors. They're great at running benchmarks on smaller maps whose working set fits entirely into L3 cache, but they're also overkill for that -- being able to run benchmarks at 300+ UPS hardly matters when you only need 60 for realtime. The gap closes quite a bit on larger maps.
That's sometimes but not always, or even often, true. You're thinking of accidents or death. But what about marriage or jobs or education or divorce? Those usually require an active choice (or many of them).

> why there's still so much work (and hacks and workarounds) on transformer to make it go faster and consume less VRAM whereas the same effort could be spent on other architectures

Probably because the pace of development is now no longer determined by ML researchers but by CS engineers. ML is "easy to pick up" until you have to understand the reasons certain architectures work or don't for different applications.

An ~8 minute introduction to Shein and their fast fashion/low price clothing from
The Wall Street Journal: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gWotBPtsulo

> Shein says it’s able to make affordable apparel by monitoring user behavior to predict customer demand and producing items in small quantities. The Chinese e-commerce company known for its $5 T-shirts and $20 cocktail dresses controls 40% of the fast-fashion market share in the U.S., with an estimated $8 billion in sales in the country last year. Shein’s inventory turnover rate is twice as fast as other competitor retailers such as H&M and Zara.

I have 3. For about 14 years, I had 1.
Mine's getting command output out of docker. For long builds (I had one that took 4 hours), it was gutting to have it fail a long way in and not be able to see the output of the RUN commands for thorough debugging.

So I devised a stupidly simple way: add && echo "asdfasdfsadf" after each RUN command. I mashed the keyboard each time to come up with some nonsense token. That way, docker would see RUN lines as different each time it built, which would prevent it using the cached layer, and thus would provide the commands' output.

I wrote the same thing (more completely) here: https://stackoverflow.com/a/73893889/5783745

(a comment on that answer provides an even better solution - use the timestamp to generate the nonsense token for you)

As stupid as this solution is, I've yet to find a better way.
