Can't wait to see new art specifically created using this technique as an artistic medium
Not particularly cursed, but my single-file Ruby-script APNS-notification-pusher with Redis ran for a couple years on the first try, and handled around ten million chat-app users on a single core with no trouble. I profiled to make sure it wasn't leaking when I wrote it and... yep, that's all it really takes. Bare-bones code is pretty effective at reminding me that computers are actually pretty fast nowadays.
Sounds like Hyundai trying to weasel out of warranty coverage (100k/10 year warranty includes the battery)
A couple years ago, I had an idea for convincing a filesystem to go faster using 2 compression steps instead of one. I couldn't see why it wouldn't work, and I also couldn't convince myself it should.

It seems to have worked out. [1]

ADHD has a half dozen or more effective treatments. Several are rather recent. There’s long term evidence that ADHD medications help those with on a wide variety of measures.

Likewise cognitive behavioral therapy and similar work well for many folks. It helps give people tools to change negative behavioral patterns.

There’s fMRI which can objectively show brain activity differences for various mental illnesses.
As a current compsci masters student at ETH Zurich: yes, having those explanations is wonderful, but that just means that topics like SVD and PCA are taken for granted now, and the things that we need to chew on are things for which no nice canonical explainers have been created (and that likely weren’t taught in 1990).

Personally I think that innovation in explanation/illustration of abstract mathematical topics is one of the most valuable kinds of progress, but it’s rarely talked about as such. When someone comes up with the right framework, visualisation, or metaphor for explaining a complex and abstract subject in a way that induces “the right” mental model, and this new teaching “tool” proliferates, that is just a beautiful thing to see.
Do you think gold _is_ a scam?
Do you have thoughts on Dreams by Media Molecule?

Yes. If you roll over the author at the top of the article, there is a link to various other social media profiles where the author has used this username.
Indeed looks terrible and as someone in the market for many of those UHD Blu-ray re-scans (yet again after lower res versions) this is almost uniformly unacceptable.

“When you finally do see a piece of footage transferred well, it can be breathtaking. Good archival practices require a lot of institutional knowledge and labor. It’s an art when done well, and the people who do it care so much about what they do. But the modern application of much of AI is precisely about taking labor out of the equation.”
We developed some early Windows 8 touchscreen programs. The desktop touch screens issued to us were early prototype garbage and locked up every couple minutes. So I wired up a MOSFET to interrupt the USB power lines at the touch of a pushbutton on my desk. It had to do so for a very specific length of time to ensure a proper monitor reboot. I used that for a year. Think I left it with a co-worker when I left. You could plug anything you wanted into its usb port if you needed a quick reset button.
The problem is that since explanations like this exist, I don't know how to figure this kind of stuff out like how you did!
With the article omitting so many things (the nature of the damage, description of the symptoms, response from manufacturer or repair shop, comparison to other incidents), it is hard not to dismiss this as anti-EV FUD.
Reading through the article, it sounds like more of a case of the manufacturer weaseling out of warranty coverage, and a padded estimate.
Now there's a free MIT online lecture series that goes through the book chapter-by-chapter.

Over the last 2-3 weeks I have felt there has been a sustained campaign against electric cars. I am wondering if the oil gas countries and companies are financing it.
Though I do think like the laws that are stopping new sales of ice cars after 2030 countries they should also make it mandatory that electric cars that get subsidies need to have easily replaceable batteries. If the target is to put less carbon and other global warming gases into the atmosphere then electric cars and should also be more repairable, serviceable and recycable.
Why are so few people investigating Covid's origin?
> then you kind of already accept that (ordinary, classical) light somehow knows the time it takes to go along all possible paths, then chooses the minimum

But it doesn't, minimum (or more precisely extremum) is a local quality. Basically light goes by the path with zero derivative because otherwise neighboring pathes interfere. Feynman lectures touch on it relatively early [1] which I think is nice

With KiCAD and dirt-cheap PCB manufacturing, the PCB design is just a matter of starting with something simple. It took me a (long) evening to go from nothing to an VGA I2C Atari joystick controller board. [1]

Once you've got the hang of it, more complex PCBs aren't really that much different.

I started with double-sized PCBs, but 4-layer PCBs are now almost equally cheap, which makes routing a lot easier too.

I don't think this is correct. In order to generate a random number at all you first have to assume a distribution. If they generate a series of random ids, and those random ids are uniformly distributed across the space of all possible ids - while the valid ids have clusters - then won't their method still give a skewed estimate?
Totally relevant. You claim that someone having free will would violate all understanding of the physical universe. This is absurd, and therefore we should reject it.

If, however, information which is non-physical information exists, like TKP suggests, then we have evidence of an ontological jailbreak. If one such jailbreak exists, it suddenly seems much more absurd to claim others can't for some reason.

> What keeps Tesla from having that knowledge, then, isn't that the company is too young to have acquired it, or that it simply cannot be had except by learning it from scratch. The knowledge can be had in the person of any number of far-less-than-100-years-old engineers Tesla could hire; moreover it can be had by reverse-engineering a frickin' Miata. The reason Tesla hasn't "worked all the bugs out yet" is that the company is run by people who hold established best practice in ideological contempt, and is defined by a tech-industry culture that fetishizes innovation and regards product quality as a third-order concern. There simply isn't as much investment money and credulous tech-media adulation to suck up in the promise of iterating on what already works. You must reinvent, almost literally in this case, the wheel—this time, apparently on the premise of "...and what if it sucked?"

> All the upside-down incentives and warped prerogatives of the startup world are on display here (including a preference for lying and monkeying with data over actually doing good work). They're also, in turn, mere appendages of a deeper and more profound decadence.

Yes.
Given the subject matter, I was a bit surprised not to see a mention of Cole Wehrle, who is probably the designer most famous for including the political into boardgames at the moment.

Amabel Holland's publishing company Hollandspiele is also an interesting case study in how much creative people can benefit from having full control. She previously published via other publishers but now self-publishes. AFAIK none of the self-published games are remotely as popular as e.g. her Iron Rails series that Capstone publishers. But she's said that she makes more in a month from Hollandspiele than she makes all year from her non-Hollandspiele titles.
Hyundai damage control has entered the chat.

> She added that a repair or replacement quote that large is rare, but each case is unique.

We got caught over-charging.

> In this case, McCarty said the Hyundai Canada team should have had the opportunity to assess the situation prior to the suggested replacement cost being shared with ICBC.

If we had known that this would be so damaging to our reputation, we wouldn't have over-quoted the insurance company.

> In the past week, we have communicated to our entire dealer network that all battery replacement situations need to be reviewed by Hyundai Auto Canada.

Don't panic and avoid us because of the above. We will change our ways, honest.

Board games with a moral/didactic dimension have a very long history that might be of interest here, e.g.

-- Mark Tatz and Jody Kent (1978), _Rebirth: The Tibetan Game of Liberation_: https://www.himalayanart.org/search/set.cfm?setID=1524

-- May-Ying Mary Ngai (2011), "From entertainment to enlightenment : a study on a cross-cultural religious board game with emphasis on the Table of Buddha Selection designed by Ouyi Zhixu of the late Ming Dynasty": https://open.library.ubc.ca/soa/cIRcle/collections/ubctheses...

-- Jingyi Yuan (2021), "Blurring the Boundary between Play and Ritual: Sugoroku Boards as Portable Cosmos in Japanese Religion": https://etd.ohiolink.edu/acprod/odb_etd/etd/r/1501/10?clear=...

In Europe, many parlor games had some moral, didactic, or personal aspect to them:

-- Innocenzo Ringhieri (1551), _Cento giuochi liberali, et d'ingegno_ gave players 100 different games that were kind of complicated and often didactic in themselves, but the idea in making them complicated was for players to make mistakes they'd pay for at the end by answering questions that often had a moral dimension. I've made a rough translation here of seven of them that were translated into French in 1555 and that have to do with classical mythology: https://wobbupalooza.neocities.org/1555

-- One specifically political parlor game that I can recall off the top of my head is the variant of Avocat that GutsMuths gave in 1796 called Parlament, in which players become King, Chancellor, Secretary, etc. to address strategic matters of state such as "whether one should be allied with the [Ottoman] Porte, recognize the [French] Republic, continue the war, [or] levy a new tax or not," the trick being to respond to the question in lieu of a partner: https://www.google.com/books/edition/Spiele_zur_Übung_und_Er...

-- But that's pretty close in time to the 1804 astronomy board game that Margaret Bryan consulted on: https://collections.vam.ac.uk/item/O26305/science-in-sport-o... / https://www.rmg.co.uk/collections/objects/rmgc-object-264736 / https://www.cultureandcosmos.org/pdfs/16/Saridakis_INSAPVII_...

It's not mandatory for women to cycle through a wardrobe of fast fashion every three months.
I'm not complaining about anything. I'm just describing what I see. Maybe it's because I'm in California and they're simply heavily skewed towards a certain style..

You're saying materialistic women always existed. Sure. And I'm arguing the women raised under social media are even more materialistic about visible things than women 20-30 years ago. If you don't think that a girls entire lifelong social circle being able to see glimpses into her and her bfs financial expenditures (cars, restaurant quality, vacations, clothes) and their quality and frequency of purchase makes women more image conscious, then I guess we'll have to agree to disagree. I think women care more about indicators of casual spending ability than they ever did, and the wrong color texting dot is an easy constant reminder of "this guy is a bit cheap" to them.

I do just fine playing the cheap guy. Thank God I'm tall and ok looking. I drive a 2001 Silverado 4x4 Single Cab short bed on dates, and a Chevy volt day to day. They love the truck. They don't love the android. My Google pixel 4xl cost about half of what an iPhone did. My truck now costs $7k maybe since it's nice still. A new bmw costs $45-60k. So it's not just pure money.

I think in their mind using an android is like driving an old BORING car. It's not the cheapness or age, it's mostly the boring. They're probably wondering why I don't want to just fit in and have something nicer since it only costs $500 extra vs an android (even if that's not true always).
For comparison, 100-200EB is roughly the order of magnitude of all HDDs shipped per quarter:

Buy-in from management (or the funder) is key. They need to understand that more than 50% of the schedule may be taken by the documentation process.

This is not Agile nor Scrum, by any means.

Answering the hard questions will be agonizing.

E.g. - I once spent 3 hours with a UI/UX dev/designer working out the state machine for the key feature of a commercial product. She was frustrated working through the process - i.e. "Can't we just start with something!". And we were literally perspiring from thinking so hard. I explained that multiple versions of the state machine running at the same time was a bad idea. We persevered and that piece of code never had to be modified through the product lifecycle.

Prototyping features to vet user acceptance is quite common and recommended. Pick a prototyping language unsuitable for production ;) That way prototypes can't "accidentally" be turned into production software.

Consider reading "Toward Zero-Defect Programming" (1st Edition) by Allan M. Stavely.

If it was a system vended framework you wouldn’t be beholden to whether it’s installed or not. It would just be available from a given OS version onwards.

That means easier builds for the developer, smaller apps, receiving implicit upgrades in lockstep with the OS. Take the example of new metal versions enabling new optimization avenues. Bundling your own dependency would mean that you need to keep on top of the changes to take advantage of it , but with a system framework you’d get it whenever Apple’s engineers enable it.
Definitely in line with the axiom of sits where fits

The other reason they hate anonymous packets is that whenever that's been implemented by them thinking the result would be more women, the result is a swing towards hiring white men. Because it turned out they were already engaging in discrimination without admitting to it or being aware of it. Word got around and now they know what the outcome would be.

According to https://www.justice.gov/pardon/frequently-asked-questions#:~....

> Does the President have authority to grant clemency for a state conviction?
No. The President’s clemency power is conferred by Article II, Section 2, Clause 1 of the Constitution of the United States, which provides: “The President . . . shall have Power to grant Reprieves and Pardons for Offenses against the United States, except in Cases of Impeachment.” Thus, the President’s authority to grant clemency is limited to federal offenses
The author notes that they used "cheats". Depending on what these do the iid assumption of the samples being independent could be violated. If it is akin to snowball sampling it could have an "excessive" success rate thereby inflating the numbers.

I pine for the day when "hella-" extends the SI prefixes. Sadly, they added "ronna-" and "quetta-" in 2022. Seems like I'll have to wait quite some time.
Yeah, I'm not buying it. My experience was bad and I've met many people who've had it worse there.

Again, it's the process and bureaucracy. The standard of care, when you get it, is mostly adequate but navigating their system is absolute hell. I suspect they're narrowly defining these studies to standard of care.
That never happens. Once you accept the belief that you need fewer "white" men, discrimination and bar lowering always follows. Recruiters are given monetary incentives to discriminate and they find many ways to do it what claiming that they aren't. I've seen it first hand.

About 10 years ago I was working for a French bank, for a small regional team to develop internal tools.

The only way we could access the core database was through a mainframe terminal emulator only available on client PCs across the internal network. It was basically an old school terminal based UI where you had to enter specific codes and sequences of keys to navigate.

It was not supposed to be automatable, and we did not have permission to deploy any executable to computers on the network.

However, we found a way to plug into it by calling an obscure DLL via Internet Explorer's ActiveX. From there, we had access to only two functions: one to send a sequence of key strokes to the emulator, and another which was basically getString(x, y, length).

We built whole applications using this database, only via those two functions, which led to giant procedures for each query we had to do. It was terrible, unstable and slow, and broke at every update, but it did the work.

There was an article here a while ago about how Gen Z wants less gratuitous soft core in their TV shows and movies; one theory was that if they want porn they know where to find it, so they consider it even more jarring than we do when it's shoehorned into content, not as a plot point, but merely as fan service.
