Please, do add the "two random choices" to the list. It is a noticeable omission, let me explain why.

Here are some comparisons of 2-random-choices with LRU in context of CPU caches: https://danluu.com/2choices-eviction/

Relevant quote: "LRU does worse than 2-random when the miss rates are high, and better when the miss rates are low."

"The miss rates are high" is the case when evicting newer but unused in nea future objects is preferable, in my opinion. Thus, "two random choices" algorithm is a direct competitor to SIEVE, they work better than LRU in about same conditions.
Every time I see "The Paradox of Tolerance" referenced in these kind of discussions, it continues to reinforce my view that it's pure sophistry. There is no paradox, it's simply a convenient tool for justifying censorship, which is ironically what it pretends to protect us from.

Ideals require integrity to function, not unlike how cheating during a diet won't get you anywhere. If you think the ideals of liberal democracy aren't strong enough to weather a few naysayers in the public forum then you probably never believed in them in the first place.

This sounds like it could port well to an RP2040-based display. Though I am forever battling against its very constrained RAM for network stuff (not helped by MicroPython needing a chunk for buffers, an GC bitmap for mark/sweep and some other network mystery meat). That said our (Pimoroni) larger Pico W-based Inky has an 8Mbit PSRAM to act as a back buffer for the display. It’s “slow” but when updates take 30s+ anyway that’s kind of redundant. Very little of that 8Mbit is actually used, so with a little tinkering it might be able to cache multiple images for sequential display without having to faff about with SD cards.

Currently I transmute some images (XKCD and NASA APOD) via a scheduled GitHub action into something fit for the various display sizes. An even more extreme approach would be to convert into the packed (4bpp for 7-colour E-ink) framebuffer format server-side. Less network efficient, but more predictable memory usage.

We’ve had JPEG support for a while, but I brought up a PNG decoder (Larry Bank’s PNGdec) recently(ish) and it’s a much better fit than JPEG for palette-based images. It uses a 32K sliding window, however, which can get spicy if you’re not careful.
That hitch mounted floating office is hilarious. I'm in the RV-based remote work universe and I've never seen anything like that.

I despise companies that do this kind of nonsense to exercise their view of "security" over me. They are the ones that are suffering the data breaches not me. Perhaps it's because they're a bigger target or perhaps it's their failure at basic security. This idea that they have of security theater and imposing their view of security theater instead of actually implementing real security on their side and optionally giving the customers tools to be secure.

Companies that respect their users give their users the tools to do things right but don't dictate what right is for all users. This is just a way for them to act like they are more secure than they really are because it would never make the news if someone's three character password with no two-factor was breached because it's simply one account and everyone would understand it wasn't LastPass that had the failure it was the user.
As for the second paragraph: it is not an parallelism in the traditional sense, but as an shortcut in description of the design. To rephrase it in concrete terms: if you implement 128b block cipher as an two independent 64b wide SPN networks, you will not get the same security level as in 128b wide SPN network and the reason why is obvious from the SPN network diagram. (Compression function of hash function based on Merkle-Damgard construction is effectively an block cipher with somewhat large key)

In fact, the paper even mentions inverse of this in the context of the sketch of wider RIPEMD, where the sketch recommends some mixing between between the separate streams (particularly, exchanging one word of the state) between rounds, which the authrs view as enough to make their multi-collision attack infeasible.

Hi I'm Darrel. I'm a generalist with 25 years experience in different technologies and languages, mostly backend focused. I am very comfortable working with legacy code as well as developing new applications/features. I am able to learn new technologies and systems and am equally comfortable as an IC or in technical leadership. I have worked with tech as varied as python2 to Apache Kafka.

A generation?

We've had about 3 years of (ubiquitous) remote work; that's nowhere near enough to call "a generation", nor to bring about a sea change in attitudes. Even then, this entire time there's been a steady chorus of voices admonishing us that if we think remote work is better, it's just because we're slacking off; we don't recognize the real, important benefits of ad-hoc in-person communication; this is just a fad that will end any day now. Aaaaany day now...
You mean when the inside air pressure is low enough. Aircraft doors fit like a plug, held in by air pressure in the cabin. If you look when they are opened they all move inward first. This is why they can't be opened mid-flight.

At the point where they can be opened, the pressure differential is going to be so low that nothing bad is going to happen, other than maybe someone's bag in the exit row being blown out by the wind. Plus everyone should be strapped in at that point.
they do not honor those, sorry. they ask anyways. and if you wanna put up a fight with HR about why they're asking when they can't, you are already fired before you've been hired.

My wife and I worked 150 days in an RV last year and both agree it's easier to be on the road than at home. The small space living forces both minimalism and being outside.
I used to run 10km per day, and 20km twice a week, which is about 56 miles a week, or 2900 miles a year (with no days off). Definitely doable. Now I’m lucky if I run 10km a week.
I think we're talking past each other?

Yes, on real-world data, on a first pass, I doubt you'll get >99% accuracy. But you don't need to; you can do (something like) three passes, that each have ~98% accuracy, and the end result has effectively zero errors (of the type we care about).

Here's a system, in the real world, that does this currently: blood donation screening. We very much don't want HIV (and other pathogens) in the blood supply. So first pass - donors are screened out, based on various risk factors (risky sex, IV drug use, lived in certain areas, whatever). Second pass - antibody testing. Third pass - antigen and nucleic acid testing. If ANY of these register as 'likely to have HIV' the blood is rejected. In my country (Canada) this has meant zero instances of HIV transmission through donated blood. 100$ effective - but we have surely thrown away (or not collected) blood that was perfectly fine. That's the cost. But it works, in the real world, very, very well.

We could absolutely demand a similar level of accuracy for DMCA notices - the cost will be a) additional work for rights-holders and b) some infringement will be missed.
IIRC, parts for some of the garage servers were found from literally dumpster diving.

Oh. I'm actually looking at the pipette tip under a microscope (in my case it's clear glass that I pulled to a fine tip using heat) and I can see the tardigrade get sucked into the tip when I gently pull with my mouth. And then I can see it whoosh back out when I push. The actual volume doesn't matter, just that I pick a single tardigrade and place it where it needs to go.

The other folks pipetting by mouth are actually looking down at the tube and see the fluid volume reaches a particular well-defined line on the glass pipette.
If you can taste the fluid, you've gone too far.
That sticks out to me too. You're already very constrained about where you can go because you need charging stations. But to then shrink that "only routes with chargers at least every 50 miles" wipes out huge portions of the US, or you have to resort to stupid hacks like the above.

And honestly, I'd be very wary about dropping my trailer in like Cisco or wherever. Its not quite the San Rafael Swell, but the Colorado Plateau is rather famously deserted. If my entire life was in that trailer, I'd really hesitate to drop it in a place that has signs that say "next services, 70 miles".

At what point do you accept that your EV ethos is incompatible with the rest of the lifestyle you want to lead? Either the lifestyle needs to change or the ethos does.
I think that's what is being noted. That there's a huge list of technologies, and it would be nice if they could be sorted by some criteria (alphabetical, old->recent tech, grouped (all these are Javascript based), categories (compiled, interpolated, data science, graphics/imagery, ...)

Also, is there a way to put in prior "Who is Hiring?" dates? If people keep putting out the same listing again and again it would be nice to have a way to find. Totally in the Nice to Have category.

Well to be fair, the original who is hiring post doesn't do much quality control.
Then, the other apps do neither.
Honestly, this whole thing came out just of my frustration using one of those and filtering for Remote, reading the text and finding out it wasn't remote at all.

As for quality control, there's a step for categorization that returns some tags. Posts that don't match any are rejected, that's kind of filters for relevancy.

I have my own opinions about that, which I'm going to keep to myself at the moment since I have not actually tried that steering wheel.

For now I think a circular wheel is a better design, but I don't know.

However, the turn signal/indicator button on Yolk steering might be less of an issue, but I feel that it would still be worse than the fixed lever.

TIL proposals to drill with microwaves [0].

NIST, Microsoft, etc. didn't decide to change their minds (to now explicitly discourage arbitrary expiration) out of the blue.

See:

>in sum, these security-specific observations and the results in Section 3 suggest the security benefit of password aging policies are at best partial and minor. Combining this with the well-known and widely experienced (negative) usability impact of password aging policies, and results [18] mentioned earlier on high predictability of new passwords from knowledge of old, the burden appears to shift to those who continue to support password aging policies, to explain why, and in which specific circumstances, a substantiating benefit is evident.

And:

>Although change regimes are employed to reduce the impact of an undetected security breach, our findings suggest that they reduce the overall password security in an organization.

There have been several more, and I'm sure that NIST and others did their own additional analysis prior to changing their recommendations which may not have been made public.

You forgot about "my documents", which is of course a great catch-all location for all four types of data you mentioned.
One that comes to mind is Arlington Heights, IL, a suburb to Chicago. It's very walkable and the places you can walk to are work walking to. My wife and I had to spend a week there and had lots of great meals throughout the day at various places, with lots of amenities for day-to-day life.

I was born, raised, lived in many, and will likely die in a city - but I just wanted to chime in to say that not all suburbs are awful.
The issues of finding shower and basic amenities in / near work spaces is, I think, a growing issue for commuters as well as nomads - basically most of us will be doing some form of mixed remote / office work. And trying real hard to give up petrol cars. Just being able to cycle / run some of the way, train or otherwise some of the way is a real freeing option
You don't need anything complicated for this. All you need is to compile your code to a shared library that exports an 'update' method.

See https://github.com/TomSmeets/quest-for-nothing/blob/master/a...

You have to be careful with global variables however, they will get cleared to zero when the code is reloaded. To solve this either don't use globals or just restore them on reload.
Feels like the Tesla is the weird part of this. I suppose that having an electric vehicle was important for philosophical reasons, or he just thought they were cool, but they aren't the most practical choice. Today, there would be a few more options for a vehicle you'd want to live out of even with the restriction that it had to be all-electric. The E-Transit, or even the F-150 Lightning come to mind, but I bet there are even better ones.

So if you want to let user A share info with user B (and as you say, that's likely an essential use case for 23andMe), then 23andMe either 1) cannot let user B mess up, 2) cannot let user A share with user B, or 3) cannot protect user A.

Of those options, 1) is impossible, though they could perhaps have done more to make it harder. 2) ruins a major use case. That leaves 3)...
Volurama by Lifecast (YC W22) – Easy to Use NeRF for Windows and Mac
* This is a commercial product. It is free to try, but requires a license to render the final results as a video output.

* It can output 2D videos where a virtual camera flys along a smooth path, or VR180 and Looking Glass portrait holograms.

* If I'm not mistaken this is the first NeRF-based VR stitching engine.

* Unlike NeRF Studio, Volurama does not require command line tools to install.

* Unlike Luma.ai, Volurama is a Windows/Mac application, which means you process your data locally rather than uploading it to the cloud.

* This is a custom/from scratch NeRF and structure-from-motion engine written in C++. It doesn't depend on COLMAP or NVidia's tinycudann. It incorporates ideas from several recent publications, as well as a few proprietary tricks developed at Lifecast.

* This is a 1.0 alpha release, and there are bound to be some bugs.

* Try it out and LMK what you think!

> Another part of it is that people generally crave certainty and fear the unknown... Unfortunately, science is by design all about uncertainty.

It's not a surprise that people put "science" up on a pedestal when science education is too often about getting the correct answer to questions. Instead of asking questions and understanding the limitations of any approach to answering them. Restraint and humility aren't exciting, but they're so important.

You cannot add a loop skew optimization to compiler before compiler needs a loop skew optimization. Which it would not need at all because it is loop skew optimization (it requires matrix operations) that need a loop skew optimization.

In short, compiler is not an ideal representation of the user programs it needs to optimize.
