Heavy nostalgia for me thinking of computer magazines. We were fairly poor, but I could afford Byte magazine. Late 70’s and early 80s I absorbed computing like a sponge from about age 10, with my only time using actual computers in stores like K-Mart. When I saw the ZX-80 kit in Popular Electronics I started my begging to dad. Then the ZX-81 came out along with its sister the Timex-Sinclair 1000, and it was finally cheap enough for my dad to manage it.

I didn’t care about the membrane keyboard. Or the tape cassette inputs. Or the crashing from the 16k ram pack. It was a computer, and it was mine. And I started applying all that Byte knowledge.

I barely attended college, and didn’t need to. Byte, and its lesser sisters was a far better education for me.
How is that not essentially the same point? The second language was determined by international politics, not linguistic merit.
There are cities in Brazil that are relatively utopian compared to a lot of US cities. It’s not all Rio, but some people think it is.
nah, this is not what they're talking about.
The parent was talking specifically about addressing the "source of anxiety". That's separate to the medication/allergy issue.

Is there a smalltalk variant that uses a more conventional language and can rely on its package ecosystem?
I have a whole garage shelf filled with National Geographic magazine since 2013—-after I moved to the United States.

Reading natgeo was a dream—-I bought used copies roadside in the bylanes of Kolkata.

Once in a while my SO questions the same. I change the topic and continue to cherish the collection.
Ok, we changed to that URL from https://informedinfrastructure.com/91930/holcim-launches-pho.... Thanks!
Formal Farsi borders on being its own dialect. I grew up only learning informal "street" Farsi, and find formal Farsi to be almost impenetrable (granted I've never tried to learn it).
主(nushi) has wrapped back around to being more on the polite side, though I get the impression it's used more by older people. There's also phrases like 持ち主(mochi-nushi -- person who is a holder of something) that have ossified the pronoun so it probably won't go away entirely for a while.

I think the reason for the rotation of pronouns is because people start using them sarcastically which means it's no longer seen as respectful, and so new pronouns become necessary.
You said that the prior dominating is a bad thing. The prior is your beliefs about a parameter prior to observing data (as I suspect you know!). Maybe I'm not getting what you're saying.
> For now, this taxation disparity incentivizes driving EVs. In the long haul, this will probably go away.

31 states already have an extra annual/registration fee for EVs to make up for the lost gas tax revenue. Often the annual fee on EVs is higher than the average amount of state gas tax paid by the average driver, but this still comes out to just $100-300 per year. This is like 25-50% of typical fuel savings of EV vs ICE vehicles even at today's very low gas prices.
I’m grateful that my wife last CT-PET scan was clean. I am also grateful to have a gold plated drugs insurance plan that reimburse drugs that the public system doesn't... without that she would probably be dead.

I am grateful for my colleagues who covered for my diminished mental abilities (the trimestrial scans after a cancer recurrence are always nerve wreaking) and provided emotional support while we were awaiting the result of that scan. I wish I could properly thanks them instead of drowning in my feelings when I try to do so.
Ollama just had AMD support merged. I haven't got it working with my 6700 XT eGPU yet, but I anticipate getting there soon.
Will Pirkle's books might be close to what you're looking for. He covers Z transforms (which you do ultimately need to understand to code up filters) but also provides implementations you can use as a starting point/to get a better idea of what to do concretely in software.

Yes, although you'd also have to drain the tank of spent fuel. Could be done with a double-nozzle filler.
I’m not on Twitter, and found it valuable to see the replies!

So you think that some career information should be withheld?
You could always start with loading up Spec ‘06, which contains micro kernels of such “heroic” workloads.
Well, crypto has still not demonstrated any use cases. The coins are just pumping for another round of ponzi scamming.
That's precisely how Bayesian inference works! But rather than having to repeat all analysis of prior data sets, we summarize that analysis in the form of a posterior, which becomes the prior for the next analysis.
Classic biquad approach with instructions for calculating coefficients of various filter shapes:

The difference is that soviet women served in combat units, including as decorated air aces.

Yes, in small numbers* compared to their brothers, but according to https://americansoldierww2.org/topics/women-and-gender the ~500 female US war deaths were not in action on front lines.

* I'm having trouble finding OOB for the combat units, but they would face a division by 0 were one to compare to US female combat units.

I'm not sure about this symbol. It can't be found at all on Schwab or Fidelity's websites, and Yahoo Finance only has "VMEX19.MX" with no historical information.

The only mainstream ETF that I'm aware of for Mexico is BlackRock's EWW. I held that for a little while this past year, and wish that I had held far longer since it blew the doors off the S&P 500's returns.

However, I would only recommend putting a little play money in an investment like this. Not shifting your entire retirement savings into it. An investment in Mexico is really more of a short-term forex play than a matter of where the Mexican economy may or may not be several decades from now. Economically, Mexico is very much a vassal state of the USA. If things go badly enough for the U.S. economy to fall behind, then odds are Mexico would be heavily impacted by those circumstances directly or indirectly.
Twitter's not very usable these days.
Early on in US history the Yucatan tried to join the country and was only narrowly rejected over concerns that it would be a slave state.

After the Mexican-American war Polk wanted the US to expand all the way to modern Santiago de Queretaro and could have easily done it but the guy who ultimately negotiated the treaty on the US' behalf was against the idea of US expansion so negotiated against the US' own interests.

If those two decisions had gone the other way then it seems likely that all of Mexico if not all of Central America would be part of the United States today.
There are not that many words distinguished only by gender and I don’t think the number of those where it would really be an embarrassing blunder is that great. All languages offer pitfalls like this anyway.
I'm grateful for many things, like what other people have mentioned, like a certain level of material comfort, the joy of being paid to satisfy my innate curiosity. But above it all, I'm grateful for the health and well-being of my children!
FYI: Large parts of Afghanistan and Tajikistan also speak Persian. I was surprised to learn this recently.
I'm grateful for the little child snuggled up into my armpit sleeping, snoring softly. And my wife, my other child sleeping, and many other things as well
Furthermore, the Israeli flag itself is the Star of David (representing Israeli land) between two blue lines which are the river and the sea. It has always been Israel’s slogan and aim, “from the river to the sea”.
Studies that go against more rigorous studies done over the past 50 years.
Elena Buckley can write; this was a well written text. But I didn't find anything much interesting in the writing. Sad.

I think this will be the only bit I remember:

[Fifteen-year-old] Landon thought for a second and nodded. “I do think the Sphere is cool,” he said, looking me in the eye. “But it means more light pollution. I’m trying to see the stars.”
Check if they're on the Internet Archive. If yes, toss them. If no, upload them then toss them. Eventually you have your magazines and a happy wife.
Totally. I'm self-taught in this area and I feel like the biggest obstacle for self-study is that the basic concepts are often passed over too quickly (like simply the idea of using phase/the unit circle to represent oscillations, and how all that relates to frequency and period). I recently sat down and tried to make sure I really understood the mathematical modeling part of the whole business and it brings a lot of clarity when tackling more advanced topics. This is kind of true for self-studying any mathematical domain generally. It's easy to pass over the "entry-level" or foundational stuff quickly because on the surface it seems straightforward, but getting those fundamental ideas crystal clear and burned into your brain is absolutely crucial if you're going to comprehend anything that follows.
RAD, now there's a term I haven't heard in 10 years. Can you unpack how one modern compiled language can be more RAD than another? I thought it just meant having an IDE.

Years ago when my daughter was around 5 I was showing her a raspberry Pi zero I had just picked up. I told her - years ago before Daddy was your age a computer like this used to be as big as a house. Her response was - “houses were that small?”
Granted that one battle lasted half of a year.

Also, I'm not aware that Nazi Germany every seriously tried to ally with the Allies. They definitely did not have any interest with allying with the USSR, at least outside of divying up Poland between them.

Here's mine lol

Yeah I can't help but think there might be a niche for intermediate level discussion of these topics. I have a burning desire to wrap my head around z transform and other dsp black magic... (Like for example application of Hilbert transform to synthesis, anyone?) A lot of it comes back to understanding the complex plane. Like, I think Z transform relies on the fact that every *e^j2pi wraps around the unit circle again for one sample period.
And in many ways still is, especially for kids, but Southern English also has mechanisms for expressing familiarity and respect at the same time - it was in no way unusual for us to call friends' parents by their first name, provided we prefixed it with "Mr/Miss" (always Miss, for some reason, even if an obviously married woman).
Internet archive might not be the best choice given their legal troubles.
A big part of the basic problem in the US is the artificially limited residency system [1], which has gotten so bad that states are now explicitly letting foreign doctors skip residency requirements to work in the US [2].

The article suggests oxygen is the problem.

The reaction may have started when oxygen entered the well system, which is designed to pump out landfill gases like methane.
There are situations where it’s unclear what is happening and where it is clear.

In situations like this where the family tells the hospital specifically what is going to happen and what to not do, it’s not alright to do the thing that’s known wrong.

For someone severely autistic all you have to do is reduce stimulation. Sedating them isn’t the right way to handle them. Putting them in a quiet room is the right way to handle them.

In situations where there’s no knowledge of what’s going on restraining them and getting a psychiatric nurse or doctor to evaluate them is probably a better outcome than sedating them. Sedation makes diagnosis impossible. The comeback is that there aren’t enough psych staff on hand to respond in emergencies. That’s just a pathetic state of things given the human mind is the most complex part of our being and illness of the mind is prevalent and largely untreated.
I, an actual adult, would love a Python like that. It's not that I can't program in Python (or that I'm sloppy with indentation - quite the reverse, actually), but I find significant white-space really difficult to read, and harder to hold in my head. I'm not sure why that is!
I’ve only seen them in Pakistan.
What is your native language and home country? Would your view change if you spent some time in a language/culture where this is normal (Korea/Japan)?
I like a comparison of NFTs to a casino. People care (cared) about the profit, and about their number winning, not necessarily about the number itself.

Having said that, I recently finally saw an art project I actually think makes sense as an NFT. Don't remember its name, but it's artist selling actual rights to their works on an auction to people that want to invest in the pieces, people trading the art NFTs, with the art piece being stored securely, and then one day if someone wants the physical piece for themselves, they can burn the NFT to request it's delivery.

Speaking of art, we did a project ~6 years ago, where we released ERC20 tokens attached to physical objects - imho this makes way more sense, because it allows for a fractional ownership of art/collectibles. Ideas like this make way more sense than NFTs.
Smart kid, thinking out of the box!
I'll finish up my fellowship this summer and it will have been a solid 10 years from when I started medical school. The vast majority of people have no idea what goes into medical training (even my own parents remain confused) - and that's okay, there's no need for everyone to know these ins-and-outs, but when we're passing judgment on the medical curriculum and adding additional things, it does become important.

You can talk about adding a class in medical school addressing neurodivergence and disability, but how do you really address that spectrum of diversity in a single class? And what aspects do you really retain a decade out when patients with neurodivergence can be relatively rare (depending on your specialty)?

In the end, I think the best learning comes from seeing patients (especially, again, as the spectrum of what these patients experience is so diverse and individual). I am always grateful to patients who provide guidance along with parents or caregivers and nurses who had often cared for that patient before for their advice on how to approach a specific patient, along with individual behavior plans if in place.
> With correct indexes the queries were able to be found only with index lookup without touching data at all

That doesn't make things faster, unless the rows contain so much data, that they force many page reads. Otherwise, reading the whole index or reading all rows takes the same time.

I think there is some information that you are not providing that might make a difference - or it is actually a misunderstanding on your side and if the queries really got faster, it's because of something else, such as a join.
Ahem. I agree.
Flow batteries biggest issue has been density. If they have solved it at better cost effectiveness than current EV batteries then it may take off. I doubt the complexity of the electrolyte water solution, pumps, and membranes would really win out against an equivalent electrolyte in a rechargeable battery for car sized volumes.

Where this could be a major use case is large scale grid batteries. That would allow for an effective baseline power store for solar and wind power.
Since the amount of VRAM is low (max 24GB), one question to look into before investing might be whether there's support for chaining multiple cards together.
One of the early customers was the European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts, so, wild guess, they probably used it for medium-range weather forecasts.
I have a bunch of music CDs from the 1980s and 90s, and I've never ever seen a failure on one of these, except from scratching.

CD-Rs, of course, have not held up as well.
I think you’re forgetting who you responded to. My question was how nationalizing iMessage is a justified position, because that’s what the person I replied to said. That’s the topic, that’s what I was discussing.

the United States sold various resources (including tungsten for armor-piercing shells) to the fascists

Are you sure about this? My understanding is that the allies sought to limit availability of tungsten to Germany, given that Spain happened to have large deposits of the stuff.

> My friend and I became frightened, and as the light poured from the crest, our murmurs turned into screams. We stood there, clutching our heads, screaming. I knew this was the thing that was going to come and get me.

Lordy loo.

I guess we’re expected to just believe anything anymore.

tl;dr - as expected, there is nothing to see here, move along ;p
As much as I hate NFTs, judging by the history of crypto since 2011, the moment people start pronouncing it dead is the moment it picks up steam again :)
Is there any software apart from benchmarks that will make it feel that fast. All softwares that I use feel more advanced version of things that I ran on my 386. GUI, IDE, compiler, office...

I understand that the exercise may still be theoretical as any sw used by Met now will be designed for million time fast computers. But there should exist some software that would have required Cray to run then.
I know it’s a lot of trouble, but if you put them on your local Craigslist or freecycle type thing, someone is likely to want them.
It would help if we knew which country. Was this due to (1) pre-WW2 German language mostly useful for trade with Germany, or (2) a significant minority of ethnic Germans, who probably returned to Germany (E/W) after WW2? My guess: #2.
You two should get a room. I mean, a club. Epitome is quite a strong word in an industry with so many greats.
I don’t have a twitter account, and many don’t. Twitter is slow, nitter is fast. Twitter has never reliably displayed threads for me. Nitter does.
This does work, but the sound of it isn’t super pleasing and it limits your filter design options. Checking out time domain IIR filters and methods for generating coefficients gets you flexibility and efficiency with no latency. I posted some links above but the RBJ Cookbook is a good place to start.
Mispelling or incomplete font set for printing press possibly?

Note modern English collapsed the distinction into simpler orthography, “th” for both eth and thorn, so simplicity in spelling certainly happens.
I could see them trimming down the number of brands -- too many dealers and redundant models -- in ONE national market, but that seems like it makes little sense on an international basis. You'd want to pick the brands in each individual market that are healthiest. I could see shuttering Buick US and keeping Buick CN alive, unless there's something weird about the marketing-- the Chinese market only buys Buicks because they're the same cars available in the US-- which seems unlikely (at least, I'd expect regionalization)

Considering Ford used to ship vans to the US with passenger seats, then unbolt the seats and send them back, for tax benefits, saying "we bolted a Buick logo on the ones going to China and a Pontiac one for domestic markets" is trifling in comparison.

I wonder if they'll eventually reinvent Saturn as an EV brand. Hummer has specific connotations, and those don't mesh with a consumer saying "I'm cross-shopping the Model 3, the Ioniq 6, and the Prius Prime". I figure of their classic brands, Saturn is the one that screamed "I'm innovative and a bit different from traditional GM".
I wonder where a Raspberry Pi Pico - based on the RP2040 fits in all of that.
Being able to transfer funds internationally instantaneously (or near enough), and protection from both censorship and confiscation are not use cases?
GDPR applies to him if he deals with European individuals. He will land into trouble the moment he steps on EU soil, if they manage to catch him.
This game frustrates me because city positions and explored/unexplored information aren't retained on the map (vs Age of Empires or any game with a "fog of war"). You can be scouring the map in a tight race to find your opponents capital with no idea what tiles you've already explored or where previously held cities are.
Sounds like a much worse solution than what we currently have which is pretty simple and cheap
This article makes it sound like the Atlantic Forest is ominously in danger of disappearing.

> Somewhere near the meeting of São Paulo, Rio de Janeiro, and Minas Gerais lie the partial remnants of the Brazilian Atlantic Forest.

That's one small patch of it. This forest's biome extends from the northeastern coast of Brazil all the way down to Rio Grande do Sul, and into Argentina and Paraguay. It's large, rich and in so many parts pretty inaccessible.

Sure it needs care. It's not running the risk of disappearing any time soon though.
Odd that the article doesn't use the more standard term "parser differential", with "differential fuzzing" as the fuzzing community's method for finding those.
Has anyone taped out a RISC-V CPU with hardware vector support yet?
What makes you think Musk is technical? I’ve seen tons of interviews and podcasts. He’s not as stupid as he comes across on Twitter, but he absolutely is not an engineer and couldn’t code his way out of a paper bag. He has an above average understanding of tech, but whenever seriously pressed —- rare because the media is absolutely terrified of pressing him and losing access —- he demonstrates a rudimentary understanding of the tech behind his businesses akin to an enthusiastic fan .

He comes across as a guy who really wants to seem deep and cerebral, but his takes are pretty surface level compared to other tech CEOs. He couldn’t even give a high level explanation of Twitter’s “crazy” tech stack without having a meltdown.
Good to the point of being famous street art is for the people. Not those two guys.
