I played with this stuff in high school and college. Principle Component Amalysis (PCA), as another commenter said.

One small quibble, with JPEG you don’t “lose” the “high-frequency” data; that would blur the image. You approximate it, so you could argue you “lose” some of it. JPEG is not very good at compressing high-frequency data, which is basically the edges of things, so if your JPEG has sharp edges, you are not losing much high-frequency data, just compressing everything else.
Sounds like you actually have no idea how resistance occurs. There are mechanisms for bacteria to gain resistance they didn't start out with, it's called horizontal gene transfer. At least read the wiki before you speaking so confidently about something you know so little about.
I'm sold. I'll dig in and look more into it. Thanks for the comment.

Can you elaborate a bit? I don't understand how this is useful if, for example, someone says "we should add a nullable field and then create a migration" he'd say "you're saying we should add a non-nullable field and create a migration"? Why would someone not correct this?
Would they? I imagine those cars would be almost guaranteed to record the entire encounter.

Not a right winger watching FauxNews, just a moderate (somewhat left of center). But when you see shoplifting happening multiple times a week, where the store worker or security guard is saying “would you please pay for that?” It’s obvious something is out of control.
Some of your observations are good, for those I thank you, and revised the post accordingly.

> I wish the article justified this statement

Your wish has been granted. Also, it's in the referenced Wikipedia article: "galaxies that are farther than the Hubble radius, approximately 4.5 gigaparsecs or 14.7 billion light-years, away from us have a recession speed that is faster than the speed of light".

> that's not the same thing as traveling faster than the speed of light.

The mechanism seems different, so indeed not the same thing, but the result seems to be the same.

> it doesn't explain why FTL would look like teleportation

The proposed detection method is agnostic towards what happens during the trip, it focusses on detecting the initial and terminal event - a mass disappearing (rapidly) from one point and re-appearing (rapidly) at another. That probably wouldn't work if FTL travel produces significant gravitational distortions, in which case we're lucky because that would stick out as a signal. It also wouldn't work if the FTL drive involves long phases of acceleration and deceleration.
Of course not, they can afford to put them in a different room or a dedicated server closet, to keep the noise away from where they work/sleep...
Things are far less clear cut than you make them out.

Yes, there is good science that shows that eyewitness testimony can be unreliable. There is also some okay science that shows that people can be prompted to create false memories.

However, there is no good science that shows people can be prompted to create false memories of deeply traumatic or personal events such as you are saying. There is definitely no good science showing that recovered memories of traumatic events are more likely to be false than true.

Much of the rhetoric around the potential for falsely recovered memories comes from a foundation that was founded by an alleged abuser and has a loose relationship with scientific truth and a fairly sketchy history of protecting child abusers. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/False_Memory_Syndrome_Founda...
Not a bad suggestion, may even make the "pwru" analysis a bit simpler. Definitely worth playing with. You can even give it a try in the lab and lmk how it fares :).
Interesting that they use the "My Aircraft" "Your Aircraft" example from aviation.

While it is true and indeed used I don't think it is the best example for what is proposed. Because with "my aircraft/your aircraft" the content is always the same. It is more a start transaction / acknowledge transaction kind of deal. It contains only 1 bit of information.

There is a better example in aviation: clearances and ATC instructions are expected to be read back by the pilot. This is to ensure that the information was transmitted correctly. And the information content is many many bytes.

Here is an example where the pilot is struggling with the readback and the ATC is very patiently repeats it until they get it right: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D88EZJ2wJ7M
The problem is that the US has difficulty operating as a modern democracy in general.

Yeah sure, I agree with you that proclamations and executive orders are inherently vulnerable to the whims of whomever happens to hold the office and have no place in a democracy.

But the legislative branch, as it currently operates, is not much different. In practice it results in huge pendulum swings and deadlocks, making every 2 years (because midterms) a nail biting event for the populous because hard fought rights and legislation can be undone in the blink of an eye.

As someone who grew up in a coalition country, it’s saddening to see how people around me here in the US are constantly in a state of anxiety, filled with despair like someone who’s awaiting the return of an abusive spouse from work, wondering what will happen this time.

If we somehow could get rid of the FPTP system in our legislative system, then we can rid ourselves from the two party system.
Not only will this significantly lessen things like gerrymandering, and the power of lobbying, but it would force parties to form a coalition because it’s less likely that one single party holds the majority of seats.

Parties would have to actually debate each other and try to convince each other, make concessions on all sides, in order to form a coalition.

The result of this is a more steady course in government policy, with sweeping pendulum swings being rarer and the changes being made being more nuanced.

Subsequently the citizenry doesn’t have to be on high alert 24/7 and the country can function more like a modern democracy.

And next thing in the agenda would be judicial reform.

Until then, both the legislative branch and the executive branch will subject us to whims and other pendulum swings.
Going on a spacewalk to retrieve it while the station is being terrorized by a creature would be a great movie plot beat.
>Expansion means that two points in space can be moving apart at greater than the speed of light - but that's not the same thing as traveling faster than the speed of light.

It actually is and that is exactly the mechanism behind the Alcubierre drive mentioned in the post. But that doesn't change the fact that compressing and expanding space on practical scales is an astronomically difficult problem and we don't even have the slightest clue what the gravitational wave signal of the technology would look like. It's also unlikely that we could even measure it for the scenario outlined where mass just disappears and appears, unless these ships have masses of several suns.

> Isn’t that awkward?

I do this in every work conversation of any complexity. Probably 5-10 times a day. If it's awkward, you get over it pretty fast. Normally, I say "hey, can I summarize that in my own words to make sure I understood?" and as often as not the response is "Please do!" because nobody likes being misunderstood, and it happens all the time.

One issue to work around is that, due to the turn-taking rules of conversation, the other person will immediately launch into their next thing after you've summarized their last thing, instead of letting you make a response, or ask a question. That is, if they are thoughtless or socially inept, which is not exactly a rare kind of person to encounter at work. So, your summary of what they said effectively becomes your "turn" in the conversation, and your role becomes essentially an amanuensis rather than a participant.

You just need to be ready to interrupt a steamrolling colleague and say "--Well, before you continue, I wanted to respond to what you just said." That's actually more awkward to me than summarizing their initial monologue, but it's important because this method makes for frustratingly one-sided conversations if you don't assert yourself.
Rust for "modern" C++ devs – Graydon Hoare, March 2022 [pdf]
I just tried to watch Rich and Strange. The first 39 minutes are mostly vacation footage.

I usually like anything Hitchcock worked on. Maybe I should have given it another 30 minutes.

Anyway, it doesn’t give me the impression that they were worried about burning film stock, even though the movie is only 1:39.
Why do you think any part of that would be a negative experience? If I want to transfer a file to someone I can send it over using standard old smb, if I want to message them I've got imessage (which can send/recieve sms), whatsapp, signal, telegram, whatever other one you can think of). If I want to do a video call theres zoom, google meet, teams, or again any other service.

Not a single one of the items you've mentioned has to be a 'walled' experience when interacting with someone not inside the ecosystem, it's bizarre that you'd even think it would be unless you've got very little understanding of how computers work in 2023.

I found the book more accessible, if you just want to flip through it, or have it open while completing some of the projects. I'm at the last chapter of the book, while a few years back doing the course, I only completed 3 projects.
But of course, if you've completed many other MOOCs and like that format, go for it. Just start and see where that takes you.
OpenAI is only one of many companies building AI. While ChatGPT and DALL-E are impressive, there are domains where those models are pretty much useless and other AI solutions are needed.
It's a light, slightly green shade of blue (turquoise), which looks very different than the deep dark blue of emergency lights.

> isn’t that relative to your origin

It applies to the universal scale, I'm not sure how more absolute it gets. Every observer regardless of frame observes that the expansion is faster than c.

> And wouldn’t light then also be travelling “faster than light”?

Space on light's path also inflates, so in terms of units of space travelled per unit of time nothing changes.
As mentioned in the previous thread, I'm not pleased with this colour.

For red-green colourblind people (both types), this colour is at the neutral point where both available cones are saturated and the brain can't differentiate it from white light.

In their study paper they used a much more blue turquoise, decided it was confusing, and then moved it to a more green version (thus saturating the non-blue cone for dichromats) but did not reassess the new green-turquoise colour.

The net effect is that for something like 8% of men this light looks exactly the same as the white reversing lights and is placed exactly where reversing lights are.
Great, more blue light to screw with our vision and worsen eye problems.
>Pedestrians will step onto the road in front of them.

Pedestrians SHOULD be able to just step onto the road on a crosswalk without having to worry if drivers will stop as they're legally required to.
Well Tesla Roadster is about as opensource as other OEM manufacturers. Difference is that they are not calling it open sourcing their cars, but maintenance information.

Perhaps it is. Never looked at it that way. I'd love to build my family a chair but will they accept the gift knowing that because I chose wood as my canvas, it will likely be 10k+ microns off on each leg?

I think the downturn observation is correct.
Because understanding where actual power comes from in society and how it is wielded in practice is both interesting and substantive.
I said inefficiencies, not economic collapse. Some people in the west enjoyed a higher standard of living with greatly subsidized demand, but the result was a decade of high inflation in the US, and very weak economic growth in the UK. The fiscal policies of the 1960s and 1970s were not sustainable
FTFA:

> if you see the teal lights, you know the car is using automated driving, so it’s less likely for other motorists to be shocked and concerned when they see the occupants looking away from the road, plus emergency services have a better understanding of what to do if medical assistance is needed. It will also be super helpful for law enforcement, so cops hopefully won’t pull you over for watching TikToks on your infotainment screen when it’s perfectly allowed by law.
Yeah, no hexagons apparently. The expansion set that gives you pentagons also comes with diamonds though (three of which would make a hexagon – an improvement over using 6 triangles).

PicassoTiles appears to be another set... also not perfect.

Maybe I can have some laser-cut from acrylic — leaving a notch along each vertex where I can glue in a cylindrical magnet.
Once data and logic get separated this will become less important. I mean there is no need to train data into the model, like it's done today. Ideally it should be a small generic model, or several of them working together, with quick access to external preprocessed data. This approach has a lot of advantages.
And I never asked or made any indication anyone should, or would be forced into the walled garden...it's bizzare how out of touch and disconnected from the reality of using a modern computer people are.

Hm, that is not the goal to me. It could be:

* Entertain them. Meme pics should work great here.

* Inform them. Here I would suggest to not use slides at all but rather show a document (blog post, handout, etc) which works on its own afterwards. This is also my ideal approach for these meeting presentations where everybody asks for the slides afterwards.

* Persuade them with a clear call to action. Here meme pics are also better in my opinion. However, I'm quite liberal here. The "pic" could be a complex diagram. My point is make a clear single (!) statement with the slide.

The US's involvement in Pinochet's overthrow of Allende is vastly overstated. The truth is that Allende did a fine job of fucking Chile up on his own.
Emergency powers are not in the constitution, they’re basically “up in the air” of precedent.

It is likely that if an action like this is taken, feathers will be rustled. However if that rustling would impact anything is completely up in the air.
It is not even that those entities have to operate at a loss by design. Take something like rail infrastructure as an example.

A private for profit organizatin would traditionally try to keep costs down, operate services only on attractive routes (population center to population center) and try to turn a profit by charging for the tickets and potentially some travel amenities. Every overall benefit the rail company creates, whether that be employment, reduced car travel, increases in property prices in well-connected areas, don't benefit the company.

The government on the other hand can consider profit differently. The governments goals may be increasing increasing employment, reducing safety risks, and developing a given structurally weak region. Since the "profit" the operating government expects differs from that one of a private entity, the rail lines a government can operate while still "profiting" (in terms of developing towards their goals) are vastly different. But it doesn't have to be a loss strictly speaking
You're in the minority. A tiny minority at that. Of all the 'normal' people I know that own iPhones I can tell you now that not a single one of them thinks "gee if only I could <do thing you seem to imagine they cant do>".

The average user doesn't give a crap if you can sideload some random app that is only needing to be sideloaded because its likely dodgy as hell.

Also if someones using an iOS device and is skilled enough to need to sideload then they'll know full well they CAN sideload by deploying an app from xcode.
I'm not.

It's anti-consumer that I don't have free access to all my data in apple. If google wants to make a "migrate all imessages and your cloud to us" service, I think it's textbook anticompetitive behavior that they prevent that.

When companies are forced to compete the consumer wins. Right now, the lazy crappy entrenched entities (google, reddit, X, meta) are getting worse and worse because they have made manipulated the system to prevent you from accessing your own information through alternative clients.

Again with the media. How big a settlement did the NYT and NBC have to pay for bringing Trump's big lie to you? What will it take before you realize that you're a victim of a con job, and not an insider?

Party affiliation is very material because it's the GQP who has stalwartly protected Trump from the consequences that you (and I) would want a Biden or an Obama to a Clinton to face if the tables were turned. There is no room to BSAB this argument, contrary to those tweets about Antifa and BLM. It was all Trumpers, all along.

As usual with you people, it's not the ideology that "triggers" me, it's the hypocrisy. That, and the loss of a viable conservative opposition party. Something we desperately need in my deep blue state but no longer have, thanks to the Trumpist takeover.
It's even worse. A cargo cult has a reasonable, comparatively narrow scenario or goal to start with.

I agree that the quality isn't ideal, but I think this tool helps artists iterate much faster and cheaper. I wouldn't focus on the quality of the output, beyond the threshold which allows the artists to generate a reasonable idea of what they eventually want to make.

Think about all the hard work that traditionally goes into composing a single title. Artists will spend days, weeks and sometimes months trying to iterate on ideas. Writing, composing, demoing, tracking and recording, mixing, etc. Think about all of the expensive software and hardware that goes into this process (instruments, microphones, studios, DAWs, VSTs, etc). It's an expensive and difficult process, it's very manual, very sequential.

This could easily be used to speed up that iterative process. Just ask this software to generate 100 ideas for your next bridge, and iterate that way.

Humans are pretty good at pattern recognition. Any experienced human driver learns to predict the behavior of other drivers using subtle cues. With time I'm sure they'll all learn to use this information in many nuanced ways as well. Self driving cars likely will as well.
No, not really.

Kagi is designed to show you what you ask for, and not for showing you the ads you're most likely to fall for. It simply takes your query and returns results matching it. That's really it. It's sad that "does what you ask" is a defining feature, but that's what kagi is.

They have advanced features like "lenses" that bias your results toward a specific topic like programming, research, forums. It also lets you add weight to certain domains. For example, I have Pinterest and Facebook totally blacklisted, and some small sites boosted in my results.

They also support advanced query syntax with double quotes, +/-, and other operators.

Which is to say, kagi is the standard for "search engine that works". Nobody else sells a search engine that just works and does what you tell it to, which is literally all I want out of a search engine. It's mundane and unsexy, but it works, it doesn't advertise at me, and it lets me get my work done faster.
