Much of your local mapping is based on monuments and triangulation to those monuments. The fact that the monuments are now frequently stable GNSS base stations helps tie everything together.
No, just noting that you are in good company.

Yeah, that's a different and larger problem space. A reservation-maximizing algo doesn't need to come up with a solution for all-vs-all, it only needs to solve for the new reservations you're trying to book vs what's already there; essentially one-vs-all. As it is, searching the tree can take 1-2 seconds in-browser on reasonable hardware, and that's with a good deal of pruning. Trying to massively re-optimize the whole calendar after the fact would be undesirable anyway, considering there are a lot of human choices being made along the way.
Your biggest concern is a convoluted but "legally correct" (as determined by the legal director of the Foundation for Individual Rights and Expression) reply given to lawmakers while testifying in a congressional hearing?

For reference, Will Creeley (the aforementioned legal director of FIRE) agrees: "it does depend on context."

Here's her actual response:

> The rules around bullying and harassment are quite specific and if the context in which that language is used amounts to bullying and harassment, then we take, we take action against it.

Which part of her response do you take issue with?

A free speech absolutist would argue that everything should be permissible. Gay leaned that way, but suggested that certain speech might cross the line into action. Are you arguing for a blanket ban on certain forms of expression?

A little about myself: My CV is not up to date, I have been working as non-founding CTO for a smaller games company for the last 18 months. During this time I have been responsible for 12 direct reports and 25-ish indirect reports. I've revamped and refined the technology direction (going from an outsourced tech prototype to a beta-released quality product), grown the team (and culture) from 4 persons to a 50 person startup, including managing software licensing and budgeting, I have lead direction on the behaviour of online systems, conformance testing for non-PC platforms.

I also acted as legal guarantor, streamlined developer productivity with better (and easier to collaborate) tools including a migration from Office365 to Google Workspace, Bitbucket->Gitlab, SVN->Perforce Helix (game studio, of course) and standardised on an IDE platform that supports remote and live collaborative development, I have acted as mentor to over 4 people in very disparate areas of the tech organisation (Build Engineering, Gameplay programming, tools programming and online backend team). I have also been the person primarily responsible for creating realistic milestones while taking into consideration our limited capacity and externally communicated ambitious deadlines -- without the expertise of a project manager or producer. -- all of this in a fully remote environment.

I seem to be received well as a senior manager, based on what my reports say to the head of operations at least, but I prefer going technically deep on topics and not spending all my time in more high level areas (and meetings). In my professional life I have had success as an SRE-type person but would prefer perhaps to work in developer experience or backend programming roles.

I have previously released games as part of a very small Live Operations team such as: "Tom Clancy's The Division" and it's sequel "The Division 2"; as part of Ubisoft/Massive and I released "Vampire the Masquerade: Bloodhunt" as part of Tencent/Sharkmob. Before this I worked in eCommerce. In all positions I was SRE. Ask me about the depth of my automation if you want war stories. :)

I have gone extremely deep into linux system internals, databases and networking. My knowledge of Rust and Python is strong but my Go is a little lackluster unfortunately as on a personal level I dislike its slice mutability semantics and propensity for data races (which do not exist in Rust and is something that the GIL outright kills in Python)

I'm open to relocation, and even taking a pretty drastic pay cut as I'm currently paid as a CTO.. What I really need is a culture of trust and autonomy, as I have strong intrinsic motivation and a decent amount of skill but unfortunately I dislike politics and bureaucracy.
It clearly does not work in any circumstances. We over-emphasise the likelihood of rare events already, saying that something has even odds just because it is conceivable that it could happen is completely useless.

Which is not to say that you should not plan for extremely rare events, but you certainly should not make decisions assuming they are likely to happen.
Is this role open to remote workers from the UK?

This reminds me, it would be nice if Google had an easy way to blacklist a sender and/or subject such that it wouldn't even go to spam. I have enough spam false positives that I needed to scan my spam folder periodically, and I'd love to have a way to permanently filter out regular crap in there. I've created explicit filters for some of the more prevalent ones, but a one click blacklist button on spam emails would be great. (Along with some way to edit the blacklist in case of mistakes.)
One, a valuation is just that, a value of the company. Not the company holdings. Also, that doesn't address that a rewrite comes with stalled features (often), as well as new bugs introduced. How much of a business value is there in that rewrite? We're talking about a business. These are tools that are usually forced upon people by management, and if it works but is a little slow or taking large amounts of memory, management will either do nothing because they got a discount or upgrade machines. At the end of the day, for most it's "good enough".

To be clear, I'm not saying that a developer culture shouldn't strive for this, but these are large businesses and are out for that dollar, and neither seem to be run by developers that would call for a rewrite.
> An “oct”ave is 8 intervals not 8 notes. The 1 is the root, and the 8 is the same note as the 1 again (2:1).

Double counting the root note is ridiculous. Thats like saying there's 11 numbers in decimal - 0, 1, 2, 3 all the way to 10. You end up with weird distortions like "8 notes in 1 octave, 15 notes in 2 octaves". It makes way more sense to just admit there are 7 notes in each octave (in diatonic scales), and then we can just multiply like we do everywhere else.

Also, thats not what "interval" means - at least not in common parlance. An interval implies we're measuring the gap between 2 things. We usually measure intervals by subtraction. The interval between 10 and 15 is 5. The interval between 12:10 and 12:15 is 5 minutes. Likewise, we should count the interval between two notes by subtraction. The interval between the tonic and itself is 0. The interval between the tonic and the "major 2nd" (ugh) is a gap of 1 (diatonically) or 2 (chromatically).

In music's defense, I think the notation system might predate the number 0. But keeping and defending the status quo seems ridiculous. There are clearly real improvements to be made.

I mentioned in another comment, I enjoyed the structure and found it much easier to process. This is despite mostly reading long form articles and never having been a huge twitter user.
For an article that seems overly long and wordy that includes things like:

On the initial use of an unfamiliar acronym within a document or a section, spell out
the full term, and then put the acronym in parentheses.

... then goes on to lecture people about making things understandable... not even mentioning wtf "a11y" is supposed to mean is kind of taking the piss. :/
I've been fixing "this is just a prototype" code for most of my professional life. Dont do that. Write good code, dont write shitty code and promise youll fix it -- you wont.

What this ends up looking like is really:

- write shitty code with the excuse that you could do better, and youll fix it later

- fix it up later by tacking on dirty fixes and removing good code others added to fix specific problem (ignoring chestertons fence)

- then get tired and rewrite it entirely, throwing away all progress. Except for the parts where you just copy paste your old shit because everyone forgot how it works
Nobody is saying they should, it just wasn't a significant factor in this disaster.
Electron is only good enough because the companies themselves aren't paying the cost of it (resources and performance).

what gets considered important are things that hurt them rather than their users. In many ways it's an abuse of users.
No, I was not proposing such situations are knowingly maintained, explicitly the opposite: there is a whole system to resolve them once discovered. Here is an example I found in the first bulletin I clicked on, but each one is full of examples like this: https://www.irs.gov/irb/2023-50_IRB

In this case, you have ambiguity in a definition of "partner assets and liability" in that, it could be read to include factor X and Not-X, and thus was contradictory. Resolving the definition to be more clear remove the problem inherent in rule.

> regulations provided that, in any taxable year, a partner’s share of each asset and liability of a section 987 aggregate partnership was proportional to the partner’s liquidation value percentage with respect to the aggregate partnership. A partner’s liquidation value percentage was defined as the ratio of the liquidation value of the partner’s interest in the partnership to the aggregate liquidation value of all the partners’ interests in the partnership.

> recommended that §1.987-7 be withdrawn and replaced with the approach of the 2006 proposed regulations under section 987, which provided that a partner’s share of assets and liabilities reflected on the books and records of an eligible QBU held indirectly through the partnership must be determined in a manner consistent with how the partners have agreed to share the economic benefits and burdens corresponding to those partnership assets and liabilities, taking into account the rules and principles of subchapter K. A comment indicated that the liquidation value percentage approach was inconsistent with certain principles of subchapter K, resulting in distortions in the calculation of section 987 gain or loss in certain cases.

So the prior guidance (in different documents, likely authored by different people) suggested two different mechanisms that are in conflict, resulting in different calculations. The latest guidance resolved this favor of an approach that clarifies what is actually allowed (In this case, rescinding the prior rule, but allowing either approach provided that approach was applied with internal consistency)

Hmm this looks more like na attempt at building better merger by getting rid of unstructured text and replacing it with some kind of structured/hierarchical data.

FIRE's free speech index is hardly definitive. It asks students about how they feel, not about actual, verifiable support from the school. The survey uses questions like "Would you be opposed to a speaker with x view coming to campus to speak" and then base the results on how the students responded, not based on whether or not the school actually restricted students' speech. Additionally, disinvitations are measured as well despite not being examples of student speech being censored.

Harvard clearly scored poorly but it seems like they only scored poorly because the students aren't ok with viewpoints that are non-inclusive or borderline hate speech. It has nothing to do with the school's policies or positions on free speech and what is or isn't allowed.
Oh the problems of the super-rich... never feel sorry for the owner of a £50M home.

"The super-rich have been warned by their advisers that they could soon expect people with “pitchforks and torches” coming to look for them unless they do more to use their fortunes to help the millions struggling with the cost of living crisis."

Unless this world's (super-rich) elites change how they treat / (ab)use everybody else, I'd give it a 50/50 chance that history repeats itself. We know how that goes...

And how fittingly - in other news:

Yeah. But its exhausting for beginners needing to memorize all the note positions in the staff twice - once for the treble clef and once for the bass clef. Maybe having both is better for professional musicians. But its much worse for beginners.
Some airports do have ground lighting that changes when it's safe/unsafe to enter/cross runways. No idea if that existed here. I know JFK has it, as I watched it in action the last time I had a layover.

Bazelel Smotrich is a fringe right-wing character, reviled by a significant fraction of Israelis and even more so by Jewish people in the US. Along with Itamar Ben-Gvir, he found his way into Netanyahu's cabinet after Netanyahu lost support from a significant chunk of conservative Israelis in the wake of legal scandals, which included a recently-repudiated attempt to disempower Israeli courts in an effort that was in part designed to keep him out of prison owing to an unusually strong corruption case against him. Netanyahu clung to power by building a coalition of lunatics like Smotrich and Ben-Gvir.

The US State Department just today issued a statement saying that the Israeli government, and Netanyahu himself, have repeatedly reassured the US that Smotrich and Ben-Gvir aren't speaking for Israel.

Neither Smotrich nor Ben-Gvir were in power in 2005 (Smotrich might still have been in school), when Sharon disengaged from Gaza, and dispossessed Israeli Gazan settlers. Nor were they in power in years where Netanyahu was recorded saying Hamas was his preferred partner in Palestine. Put simply: Smotrich isn't the reason Hamas rules Gaza.

Regardless: Hamas took power in Gaza in 2006, in a combination of coercive force and a public election. It has not allowed elections since then. Until recently, Hamas was the dominant security force in Gaza, and the governing authority.
The best case I described would move wealth from landlords, through the middle class, to the poor and middle class. It would accomplish that by both expanding and devaluing the middle class. Expanding the middle class would eliminate poverty (no more poor category). Devaluing the middle class would shrink the housing market (not enough high-paying renters to sustain runaway rent growth). Shrinking the housing market would move wealth from property owners back to middle-class income, which is exactly where it came from in the first place.

The primary method that the poor and middle class are exploited by the rich is housing. The benefit of middle class life is captured by rent and mortgages; then moved into the portfolio of wealthy real estate owners. If we can put that in reverse, we all win.

Ideally, UBI would move wealth back from real estate portfolios back into wages and disposable income. The middle class would be less wealthy on paper, but have more disposable income from not spending it on housing.

It's not as elegant as directly stealing from the rich and giving to the poor, but that doesn't seem possible anyway.
Also seems to never load for me, stuck at "Fetching the analysis"
"Drugs are just a cop out" sounds like a massive ego talking. A tool is a tool, and there's no shame in using powerful tools to achieve a goal. Sometimes our goals might be to overcome a challenge with sub-par tools, like climbing Everest without supplemental oxygen, but most of the time our goals are simply the accomplishment in of itself, utilizing whatever tools we have available.
My suggestion would be to try the audiobooks instead (the ones narrated by Patrick Tull).
I've done the math myself, and it never works out to fly/take the train. Of course part of this is I have a family. I'm buying 5 plane/train tickets - and always in the busy/expensive time when everyone else is also off school and trying to travel. I'm not renting a small car - my family won't even fit - but a minivan (if you can find one). Sure I'm spending 4-5 days driving, but that is a substantial cost savings.
You can really install another OS on it with a couple of clicks? I always thought you needed a special USB debugging cable to unlock the bootloader first. I have a Pixelbook that I'd like to give a friend of mine but he can't have a Google account() so it'd be rather useless for him ootb.

Suicide is traumatic. Not having children is not. Your point is also somewhat incorrect. By committing suicide you only reduce your carbon footprint by however many years you have left to live. Not having a child however prevents a whole lifetime of carbon emissions. Lifespans are increasing so that's another factor to account for.

Just dropping in to plug physical media. 4k Blu-Ray is always higher quality than streaming, and Blu-Ray almost always is. I'm talking noticeably, obviously better in terms of both picture and sound quality. Also, nobody can take it away from me and I own it outright with no subscriptions or services. I don't even need internet. For anything I want to watch more than once, it's a no-brainer.
Book review: The paradox of debt
They literally have a policy that allows students to say things that are considered objectionable and, unless you have examples where they've violated that (disinvitations are not censorship of student speech as the invites are external), you'll need to do better than just "No they don't!".
Alternatively, if Gay hadn't done all that plagiarism, she'd still be there.
It seems that perfection is attained, not when there is nothing more to add, but when there is nothing more to take away.
> Anyone can convince themselves of almost anything, for any number of reasons. Including convicning themselves of a therapeutic effect.

This is a weird take. If a person is suicidal, and "convinces himself" (whatever that actually means in the context of the therapy) to not kill themself, this is therapeutic effect by definition.

Nice to see people care about index construction time.

I'm the lead author of JVector, which scales linearly to at least 32 cores and may be the only graph-based vector index designed around nonblocking data structures (as opposed to using locks for thread safety): https://github.com/jbellis/jvector/

JVector looks to be about 2x as fast at indexing as Lantern, ingesting the Sift1M dataset in under 25s on a 32 core aws box (m6i.16xl), compared to 50s for Lantern in the article.

(JVector is based on DiskANN, not HNSW, but the configuration parameters are similar -- both are configured with graph degree and search width.)
I could be wrong, but I really don’t think permanent loss of sensitivity is anywhere that high. Though it sounds low for temporary loss, but then it goes away after a couple of hours or so.
Wow, I was so excited, I need this exact site, just bought a place with transitional blinds[0], they're all beautifully well kept except in one room where one of the blinds is damaged and while most of it appears to work, the bottom assembly broke and needs to be replaced, unfortunately they do not appear to have any info on this type of blind.

I wonder whether anyone has done a Pac-Man variant inspired by Flatland.

Say, a powerup temporarily turns the screen to 3D, with the ghosts only perceiving the 2D slice. Pac-Man might be a cone that can 'shrink' to squeeze around ghosts, can jump through 3rd dimension to 'teleport', can move back and forth between different 'levels' floors in a building, etc.
Indeed serif fonts are considered easier to read for big blocks of text. I would consider the font too thin as well.

I rented a small house in the mountains from the power company for the 2000 New Years Eve party. It happened to have an office for the local power employees.

At about 22:00 the phone in the office rang up and I took the call (I am not sure why, actually - the phone was ringing so I picked it up).

It was an older lady calling and she said "there is no power at home, is this this year 2000 issue already?".

I told her that this is unlikely and have her the correct number to call (written on the office door).

It was all over the news and thanks to the heroic work of IT/IS the world was saved.
