So this made me think of spaced repetition, which is based on how the brain retains memories. I wonder if you could make a cache retention algorithm similar to what the brain uses.

I'm thinking something like this:

Every entry has two values "solidity" and "time since last seen". When an entry is accessed solidity increases based on time since last seen - if it was a short while ago it increases just a little, longer means bigger increase. This is to ensure that solidity will correspond roughly to the long term need for the entry and doesn't go up too much if something is accessed a lot of times in quick succession.

Entries with low solidity and long time-since-last-seen are evicted.
That's absolutely a political opinion: dependent on a particular narrative and presentation of facts that is different from others.

Just like it is one that the 2019 riots were eight months of pre-election terrorism incited and protected by the party that now sits in the White House. And who is bent on making a four hour riot the center of attention instead. Funny that. We could do this all day.

Lots of comments below shooting from the hip and throwing warnings of security issues clearly without any practical knowledge of the current BT API. Someyimes, not saying anything is also an option.
At 5:20 in this video https://youtu.be/7JNXghzzaZc?t=320 they show it offers a 240 MHz wide channel option in the 5 GHz space. What a mess. I'd say that kinda makes sense for a AP<->AP bridge use case out in the middle of nowhere but you'd be better off using a 320 MHz channel in the 6 GHz space with this AP or an AP with more than 2x2.

This sentence caught my eye
Torque specs only apply to clean and clear threads that are free of corrosion and grease -- unless otherwise-specified.

Threads that are this way do not get stuck half-way.

If the threads are already boogered up for whatever reason, then the torque specification is already wrong: The threads aren't clean, clear, and free of corrosion and grease. This can result in under-tensioned fasteners when using a torque wrench as a guide, since boogered threads (rather obviously) can present an impingement that allows a torque wrench to click off before proper tension is reached.

However, grease is not a magical antidote to this condition.

If the threads (boogered or not) are greased, then the torque spec is also wrong: Greased threads are also not clean and clear, and free of corrosion and grease. This can result in over-tensioned fasteners when using a torque wrench as a guide, since grease is (rather obviously) a lubricant -- allowing things to slide more-freely in a way that doesn't allow a torque wrench to click off until somewhere beyond ideal tension.

So what do, then, as a home-gamer with a bicycle or maybe a car in the rust belt (but never an aircraft) full of dissimilar metals that are constantly rotting?

You could perhaps kit up to do the Junker test such as in DIN 65151, and make a study of how different greases affects things. You can even make a career out of publishing your studies.

Or: Just make sure the threads are clean, clear, and dry, and then assemble with an anti-seize paste which does not have lubricating qualities that affect final tension yield. (Permatex makes some, as do others.)

---

(And in aircraft, always do what the engineers say. If the engineers are wrong, then: Stop doing whatever it is that you're doing, and consult them.)
We are about a year or 2 from the Ribbon interface existing in Office longer than the pre-Ribbon interface.

I will agree that the Ribbon and what you can customize or use in it/looks has changed drastically since 2007.

But the Ribbon “paradigm” will soon have existed longer than the non-Ribbon “stable and efficient” interface so it is more “stable” in one way.

"myth originated"

It's in the documentation.

I just learned pandas recently, and I would have said this same thing. Not because I read through the numpy code, but because I read the documentation.

Is it wrong? Can't a user pick up a new tool and trust some documentation without reading through 100's of libraries built on libraries.

When was last time someone traced out every dependency, so they can confidently say something is "Myth".
I gave the xcode simulator a shot and having the streamlined desktop experience with windows and dialogs in VR or AR is pretty compellingly done. If the hardware can make it comfortable to read text, browse, and do general tasks for an hour or more at a time, I'll start to understand what their grand design is to capture whatever part of the market I inhabit.

I think many of us have been waiting in the wings and need to be seriously impressed before donning a headset regularly. My internal resistance stems from both comfort and ease of operating it for general compute outside of games. I have a Valve Index and have had some delightful experiences with it, but there's a big gap to jump into "routine" daily driver territory in my mind.
At the same time though, it's really easy to set your account as a classroom account and get most of the paid features.
Unconstrained versus Constrained Input

Is that in the second example the attacker was forced to inject the data somewhere between pre-existing text (added by an application etc.).

The threat model is different but with the same ultimate goal.

These are still evasion attacks at test time or adversarial examples. These are just adversarial text inputs with a slightly different threat model. That's all.

> Yet self-talk enjoys certain advantages over inner speech, even in adults. First, silent inner speech often appears in a ‘condensed’ and partial, form; as Fernyhough has shown, we often tend to speak to ourselves silently using single words and condensed sentences. Speaking out loud, by contrast, allows the retrieval of our thoughts in full, using rhythm and intonation that emphasise their pragmatic and argumentative meaning, and encourages the creation of developed, complex ideas.

This totally makes sense and I can relate to this. I usually think out loud when I'm driving a coding collaboration meeting, and it makes things come together much clearer more quickly.

Whenever I look at examples of something that the sort of people who use the term “misinformation” call misinformation it’s - almost always a direct quote, presented with no further elaboration, from somebody they dislike. Presenting an accurate Joe Biden quote (for example) isn’t misinformation, and “doing the research” means making sure it wasn’t taken out of context.

I’m not saying it’s impossible but that it commonly fails due to those reasons. Timezones are a common source of problems but I’ve also seen a fair number of problems which basically boiled down to outsourcing putting more stress on existing management problems such as inability to produce specs or delegate, and micromanagement were amplified by distance and cultural barriers. Basically the organizational equivalent of saying “our monolith sucks, let’s use microservices” without first contemplating how the existing system got that way.

Unfortunately, we encounter far more complex scenarios, from "can the car dealership dump engine oil into the creek behind their maintenance bay?" to "we sold a product that provably killed thousands of people, but none in a way that can cause us direct individual liability".

No, not usually. In my experience anyway, most random engineers in the semiconductor industry that you would run into who know both C and Verilog would be just using those tools to do their job. There is a lot of ECE stuff to unpack in your question, but the subfield of ECE in question is called VLSI. You'd want to talk to someone who works in VLSI, or did VLSI as their focus in ECE undergrad or grad school.
Well, it’s how mitochondria in cells in worms cooperate. We already know cells cooperate through many channels and some channels we understand quite well. This is truly only about worms right now. Obviously generalizing to other animals will be important next steps. But the title and text of the article implies a much more general understanding than we actually have. It’s not to diminish the results in the least. But science isn’t served by claiming progress we haven’t made, it makes it harder to fund the next step by building an assumption of nonexistent progress.
I'm still a fan of TCP/IP illustrated (book 1) [1] for understanding the fundamentals. The one from No Starch Press [2] is also a great book.

Personally, I think if you understand the fundamentals, you will quickly realize things like software defined networks and CDN technologies are just abstractions on top of other stuff.

Alaskan airlines chose a 178 passenger configuration for their 737-9, and so are not required to have a mid-cabin exit door.

Lion Air's chosen to go with a 221 passenger configuration, and so are required to have an operating door.

Obviously changing up the number of seats isn't done on-demand, you'd need to go for a refit/maintenance cycles.

But if Alaskan decided to change density, or sold the aircraft to someone else who decided to change density - then they could go and do this.

The main problem is that everyone thinks that it's something we have to teach other people to do, but few see this as something that they themselves have to get better at. In fact, people become simply hostile to others for doing this if it's a piece of information they like.

I just saw a quote yesterday taken out of context on Reddit, and one of the most highly upvoted comments was someone mocking people who want context. If the quote makes a bad person bad, than someone even bothering to look at whether or not it accurately portrayed the situation is the enemy trying to defend the bad person.

Everyone should put more effort into fact checking things they want to be true than things they don't, because it's usually when we want something to be true that we drop our guards.
I'm surprised that their attempt at double-dipping their customer's revenue backfired into only 25% in expected revenue loss.

Among my acquaintances, they are now actively being avoided as an engine. Their asset store is still helpful, though. And with good open source competition like Stride (shown at GDC and C# + visual editor like Unity), I'm guessing that getting anyone to buy into a financially unpredictable and technically unstable engine like Unity is a very tough sell.
This is definitely cool. I think hackers who hate mixing people and climbing the ladder should look at 2.5 million dollars as the magic number. That gives you around 10,000 dollars a month which should be a secure base for almost any place in the world. After that you never have to work for money ever again.
It really needs something like Anki has where you can say "I know the word for rice confidently, don't ask me for a long time" with the space between repetitions extending based on your feedback.
I also think that multiplication and division by 1 should be pared down (if not eliminated). In general, it'd be nice to favor larger numbers instead of using 1/2/3 so much.

Mixtral 8x7B: A sparse Mixture of Experts language model
Ubuntu LTS has the same frequency as Debian Stable releases (2 years). There are the non-LTS Ubuntu releases, but they are supported for a short period (I think 6-9 months, but I'd need to check, and the files are deleted soon after support ends), which can be a problem if you don't update to the new version fast enough, and get stuck with a system than can neither be updated to a future version (LTS or non-LTS), nor downgraded to a previous LTS, and so you must reinstall everything from scratch (this happened to a colleague of mine, partially their fault for not updating, but Debian's release process doesn't let this happen).

My experience is don't run Canonical-developed (as in it originated from Canonical) software, it almost always breaks, get dropped, or they decide to screw around with the licensing. I think early on they tried to copy Fedora (e.g. having the latest by pulling from Debian unstable, 6-month releases), but now they're trying for the enterprise (and trying to copy RHEL), but they lack Red Hat's culture to pull it off.
That was very similar to my reaction. All the fair use rhetoric is carefully caveated to public information. NYT is not publicly accessible, it's paid access. If this argument is true then zlib does nothing illegal the Internet Archive is allowed to scan books. We can't have this it's true and false dichotomy going.
The point was that the comment was based on prejudice. It was deleted and the user reprimanded, so clearly not just an “SJW” jab (itself a ridiculous cliche to invoke in this context).
