If you truly didn't intend to misrepresent it, then you must have misunderstood it. That's difficult for me to imagine because it's quite straightforward, but perhaps you aren't a native speaker, or are undercaffeinated.

He didn't say it was no less usable if "it isn't supported." He said, assuming it isn't supported, it is no less usable than not including the <hr>

Put another way, HE is comparing usability on iOS of

<select name="produce">
<option>Apple</option>
<option>Pear</option>
<hr>
<option>Carrot</option>
<option>Celery</option>
</select>

vs usability on iOS of

<select name="produce">
<option>Apple</option>
<option>Pear</option>
<option>Carrot</option>
<option>Celery</option>
</select>

whereas YOU are comparing usability on iOS of

<select name="produce">
<option>Apple</option>
<option>Pear</option>
<hr>
<option>Carrot</option>
<option>Celery</option>
</select>

vs usability on other platforms of

<select name="produce">
<option>Apple</option>
<option>Pear</option>
<hr>
<option>Carrot</option>
<option>Celery</option>
</select>

Those are different comparisons. Discussing iOS, he said "it’s no less usable with the <hr> than without." You made it seem like he said "it’s no less usable without support for <hr> than with support." That isn't what he said.

Because <hr> in <select> is not supported on iOS, it is ignored. The resulting browser behavior is identical. It is impossible for one to be less usable than the other because the result is utterly down-to-the-pixel indistinguishable.

As a result, eyelidlessness rightfully pointed out that lapcat was incorrect when he said "I can't share code between Mac and iOS." While the iOS experience would not be as good as the Mac experience, the iOS experience with the <hr> would be no less usable than the iOS experience would be without it.
Quebec is pretty big so this doesn’t tell the whole story. To picture it as an American, travel from dC to Boston (known for its cold winters). Then keep going the same direction for the same distance again. You’re deep into the northern wilderness, but at the same latitude as the UK, which has a comparably balmy climate.
> “Wind back the block to Microsoft and Apple, and those guys were super scrappy, not an ounce of polish at the outset…”

Well, the Personal PC did invent desktop publishing. Before that print brochures, what I guess you would take for polish, were expensive to produce and manufacture.

And the WWW largely replaced the desktop publishing world. Why print something you can’t change?

And today commerce on websites has clear solutions you can spin-up in turnkey fashion or DIY with Web frameworks.

You can call it polish, but I call it evolution. With all of these capabilities, why wouldn’t you do all of these things?
I use dryer lint and corrugated paper-board. The dryer lint catches fire if you sneeze in its general direction and once the corrugated paper board is lit, it burns very hot because the corrugation acts as a natural chimney.

I think OP is correct by saying “cause”. The demand is actually causal, not merely contributory.
Birds, barbed wire, darkness, light: Artistic challenge of making a Torah mantle
I would recommend this as a second book after reading a "cookbook" style book that is more focused on getting real code working. After some hands-on experience with RL (whether you succeed or fail), Sutton's book will be a lot more interesting and approachable.
Isn’t the whole premise of your claim that making good decisions in lieu of good information is very hard? Wouldn’t better, more widespread testing earlier on have helped us understand the severity of the disease, which populations were at particular risk and which were not, which geographies most needed injections of medical supplies and expertise, which social interventions were making a dent and which weren’t, whether and where schools needed to be closed?

There were tons of extremely important, extremely consequential decisions that had to be made without information we [maybe] could’ve had. I suppose one could argue that Trump probably wasn’t successful/consequential in slowing down testing (I presume we’ll never know), but I don’t think you can argue that the velocity of testing was inconsequential.
For the price point the repeatability is uncanny. Of course this machine is still reasonably fresh so we'll see how it holds up over time but on 10 complete passes over a work piece that spans 80% or so of the total work surface the last cut is dead on on top of the first.

I'm actually quite surprised at this, I did not expect that to be the case. But: this is my first laser (previous CNC tooling: Lathe, Mill, plasmacutter, the latter a homebrew affair at 8x4') and the main advantage that it seems to have over the other tools that I worked with is that the gantry and the head are fairly light in comparison to what you would normally expect. Even a plasmacutter requires a movable Z in order to compensate for warp (or you will definitely have material strikes).

So the head is probably < 1 Kg all together and the gantry < 10. This most likely is the biggest factor in how with such a light and - bluntly - flimsy drive mechanism it works as well as it does. It's got less backpressure than a pen plotter would have, basically just the rolling resistance of the rollers and the drag from the airhose and a thin electrical cable. I did add a segmented chain for the main gantry to ensure the cables and hose can never get tangled.

As for the 400x, an industrial laser from a brand with a good rep runs between 20 and 40K, these open frame lasers sell from anywhere between 500 and a thousand $US, I mistakenly added a zero too much so you are right about that! I spent a whole day on writing that up and was super tired, I slept a bit since and it's much better now.
And how deceiving children is normalized in society, together with even worse forms of mistreatment. Because children are low status and can't fight back, adults and society in general can get away with doing all sorts of unjustified nasty things to them. That no adult would ever tolerate.

It really is a dominance hierarchy there, something we expect from animals. People are supposed to be better than that.
It's interesting that we're talking about helping people reduce costs, instead of penalizing companies that raise rates for something that should be a utility and has close to fixed costs to operate.
Basically everyone in my family's village has a fritz router.

Tomorrow, I'll be at their place. I wonder what will happen.
It's not the same though. Saying "I have a girlfriend, she just lives in Canada" is a lie. Pointing at a blue pen and saying "this is a red pen" is gaslighting.
Citizen has tried. The first generation struggled with power, connectivity, and software. The second generation is getting better user reviews, and the power problems were apparently solved, but the UI (button based) is tricky.

> I don’t know to what extent this program is being abused, but it’s surely happening.

It's non-zero, sure. And although the GAO identified fraud risks, no fraud assessment has been done. A humane response to this would've been to perform a fraud assessment and allow the FCC to take action against identified risks. This will hurt poor families by widening the digital divide, impact family education and employment, and reduce access to services.
Lol remember when Microsoft tried to re-invent IRC in the 90s? How long has Microsoft been failing at IRC now (which is basically what web chat is)

Microsoft excels only at stealing existing tech, doing a horrible job at it, rebranding it as their own and then engaging in predatory litigation to try to steal the rights to it. I mean they aren't the only ones who do that, but at least make it better in some way
Personally I am fine doing python/Django fullstack without it and never felt the need to use async/await.

I was interested in the situation with the Django ORM however. The page you linked to seems somewhat contradictory. In the section on "Queries and the ORM" it seems that there are asynchronous versions for most queries that actually cause an SQL query:

https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/5.0/topics/async/#queries-...

These should also be fine to be executed in an async context, right? But then later in the section on async safety it somewhat seems like the ORM is totally prevented from being executed in an asynchronous manner:

https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/5.0/topics/async/#async-sa...

The linked section on orm queries however makes it seem like it should be possible to use the Django ORM asynchronously if you only use the async methods (aget, aupdate, async for, ...) and watch out for some gotchas:

https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/5.0/topics/db/queries/#asy...
I think it depends on where you live. I live in Bend, Oregon, and lost pets are regularly found via Reddit posts. But this is a super-outdoorsy and dog friendly community, so people are outside a lot and like looking out for our furry friends.
It's because a driver can do everything right and still miss a cyclist. Humans aren't infallible, and driving is an extremely complex task. In many cases it's an issue of bad road design or cyclists not following the rules of the road. For a driver to be held criminally responsible they have to be negligent, eg. using a cellphone, speeding, distracted, etc.

From my own experience interacting with cyclists on the road, the riskiest situations I saw were ones the cyclist created. Eg. Running reds, doing 15+ mph on the sidewalk, lane-splitting, etc.
My man you deserve every dollar you make from that trade
Regulation - you can't dig a hole in the ground and call yourself a municipal landfill.

https://www.epa.gov/landfills

Modern landfills are well-engineered and managed facilities for the disposal of solid waste. They must meet stringent design, operation, and closure requirements established under the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act.

I'm not an environmental expert, if Methane emission causes significant environmental harm, then the EPA should be regulating it. It's hard to tell someone that they're harming the environment through methane emissions from trash while the actual environmental experts at the EPA don't bother to regulate it.
You’re both right. You can have a pixel-perfect web site with Tailwind in a few minutes.

And that’s why OP sees everything as polished. The backend and features are another story…
> Getting older it hits me how trivially simple solutions to certain problems are despite most running around in circles trying to solve them the entirety of their lives.

Oh, but you can't (can?) sell a self help book that way. It would only be a few pages long and everyone in the media would shit all over the author if it ever got traction. Hordes of bots on Reddit would be having fake conversations in threads that cry "science!" in an attempt to protect book sales based on TED talks and trending morning show style topics.
Conceptually, I would say other languages are variable-based. The key feature of a stack is that you can only access the top element, whereas other languages allow you to name multiple things and access them simultaneously (effectively reaching down the stack to elements not directly accessible). This is implemented with a stack-like structure, but sometimes also using registers. I wouldn't call these languages stack-based because the stack is more of an implementation detail than a defining feature of the language.

For isntance, in C:

int x(int a) {
int b = a >> 1;
int c = a + 34;
f(b);
return c;
}

You can still access the variable "b" in the call to "f" without having to get rid of the value in "c". Before "f" is called, the stack will likely be incremented by two integers worth of space at once, instead of adding the variables one at a time. Then once the block terminates, all variables relating to it are discarded simultaneously.
Forestry collapse, drought, famine, were all factors present everywhere around the world as well, and human sacrifice is not a solution to this.

I argue that deaths due to famines, epidemics, wars, unfair food distribution, racism, slavery, exploitation are a whole different category from the human sacrifice. Each one of the former had a cause or a purpose. A lot of it was due to mismanagement, ignorance, fight for resources and control and people being assholes.

Me deciding to keep food to myself to feed my family or my clique and not to share it with you, forcing you to starve, is very different from me going to your house, kidnapping you and killing you for no reason at all. Oh, pardon me, the reason was to build a fucking wall made out of you and your family skulls. You're justifying completely senseless violence here.

The only thing in Europe that comes close in my mind is the burning of the witches and the holocaust, for which there was and is much repentance to this day.
Reinforcement learning is an entirely separate area of research from LLMs and, while often seen as part of ML (Tom Mitchell's classic Machine Learning has a great section on Q learning, even if it feels a bit dated in other areas) it has little to do with contemporary ML work. Even with things like AlphaGo, what you find is basically work in using deep neural networks as an input into classic RL techniques.

Sutton and Barto's Reinforcement Learning: An Introduction is widely considered a the definitive intro to the topic.
If you don’t spend money, then you ultimately have less stuff to put in your back yard. Hauling it away doesn’t change the net amount of pollution - it’s still pollution in a landfill, just less unsightly. Perhaps if everyone had to put their waste in their own backyard people would opt for products that produce less waste!

I live rurally and have to take my waste and recycling to the transfer station. It’s free but a pain in the ass so I try to make decisions which produce less waste so I don’t have to go as often. Previously I lived somewhere rurally where you had to pay per pound brought to the transfer station - that was an even bigger incentive to cut back on waste.
> I now understand that a rewrite carries with it a huge amount of various risks and that people are biased to overestimate the costs of the ugly stuff they see in the old application and underestimate the risks of things they are not aware of when deciding to do the rewrite.

I see this a lot with large scale refactorings, where people usually start with the easiest case and work their way up in the complexity ladder, and by the time they reach the hairy stuff it's basically time for another refactor to account for what's been missed. I started to look at any proof of concept or refactoring proposal that doesn't take into account the complicated bits, the corner cases, with a lot of suspicion.
I don't think implementing autograd is relevant or in-scope for learning about how transformers work (or writing out the gradient for transformer by hand, I can't even imagine doing that).
Apple dropped 32-bit after a decade of warning. Game devs bitten by this have only themselves and their incompetence to blame.

And Intel apps work fine on ARM.
> A feature that makes it easier to switch will also make it less risky to sign up in the first place.

Yes, if buyers think that far. Consumers do not. SOme businesses may, but its not a major consideration because the people making the decision will probably have moved on by the time a swtich is needed.

> Ad funded companies give away features and entire services for free in order to be more attractive for ad customers.

Yes, but that means those services do make a profit.

The same applies to the banking example but they can make money off free accounts as well.

> Introducing a completely broken feature is unlikely to make much sense. Introducing lots of low quality features that make the product feel flaky but "full featured" could make some sense unfortunately.

The latter is similar to what I am suggesting here. Being able to export data will probably satisfy most customers who want to do so, even if it does not actually work well for everyone. It will also mollify regulators if it works for most people. If they can say "data export works well for 95%" of our customers regulators are likely to conclude that that is sufficient not to impede competition.
"We have no idea where Venus will be exactly [ten] million years from today."

I'm trying to figure out what this is supposed to mean. Of course we don't know exactly, but also of course we have some idea.

Like, could Venus have had an eccentric orbit that extended further from the Sun than Earth or closer than Mercury? Could it have had a moon?

I really, really don't need a tracker and I doubt most people do. Even to satisfy curiosity they seem woefully lacking.

What I do feel I need is an effective way (including cost-wise) to mitigate thermoregulation issues at night, i.e. to avoid waking up hot or cold, dialing in the correct bedding temperature at any moment.

I thought a wool comforter might be the answer given its reputation, but I still fuss around with adding or removing layers. I basically sleep with a stack that changes depending on the weather.
It really is surprising to dig into the stats around alcohol, drugs, and non-use of existing safety systems. We end up with a lot of discussions on all sort of new laws but a lot of the problem is that the existing laws and tools aren't used.

I was not aware of the 50% alcohol involvement in motorcycle fatalities, but it doesn't surprise me. About 35% of all vehicle fatalities involve drunk driving, 50% of all pedestrian deaths involve either the driver or pedestrian being drunk, and 20% of cyclist fatalities invovle drunk cyclists (I assume alcohol is a factor for many other cyclist desths too). Then we have 45% of traffic fatalities that don't wear a seatbelt, about 35% of child fatalities did not use restraints, and 80-90% of child restraints are misused. I'm not sure about motorcycle accidents, but 60% of cyclist fatalities did not use a helmet.

The drunk driving and not properly restraining kids are really the biggest issue since it affects others. Things like not wearing a helmet, cycling DUI, and not using a seatbelt are a little more Darwinian in thier punishment.
My anecdata is different: sleep is mostly accurate, if sometimes a bit fuzzy, and occasionally misses the mark.

Regarding grogginess or lack thereof, what I noticed is that sometimes I feel that way even though the watch says I had good rest, but it's only so at the beginning of the day; afterwards I'm okay.

Conversely I may have had a bad night and still feel okay, but what I noticed is that if I don't pay attention to the watch I'm actually plowing through and don't notice I'm wearing myself out, which I then have to repay the following days.

Also the watch gives a) objective measurements (whereas my feeling is subjective) and b) measures only a bunch of things but not everything (e.g I noticed eating pasta or something weighting on my mind and morale can both make me experience brain fog that the watch does not account for)
TBF given the amount of rights needed to be managed for each employee for all their accounts accross the services, it feels like the natural progression of things.

Basically, we're experiencing the Windows XP security popup equivalent but at a service level, where at every step of a task you're asked to identify to something else and the back and forth to get the proper credentials with the proper rights can take days.

Support teams calling it fucks and throwing half the accounts and permission bucket at any newcomer is just humane.
I mean I thought this too but this is the one area, particularly under recent events, that I think it’s reasonable to start trying to come up with good non-prosaic explanations. You’ll probably find an increasingly surprising number of people talking and thinking about this in a serious way, because events seem to be pointing to something that isn’t just smoke and mirrors the entire way down. It’s smoke and mirrors to be sure in many ways. But it’s sufficiently uniquely weird that it is looking increasingly likely there is a significant non-prosaic thing going on here.
If the organization has a widespread issue where employees hesitate to ask questions via impromptu Slack messages or phone calls, then managers need more training on establishing an effective organizational culture.

Here is a guide from Forbes that could be considered.

It seems like there are still a lot of challenges from the physics of printing liquid aluminum. To me this seems like it overcomplicated the task because they chose to print the aluminum, rather than just printing a form that can hold molten aluminum as a traditional casting might. Maybe that is already done though, this is academic work after all and not necessarily done to seek optimal solutions but to scope out future challenges.
Most Apple Watches these days will easily get ~1.5 days of battery. Mine's usually down to about 30% by the time I wake up, and is back to 100% in roughly the hour my morning routine takes.
The drive electronics on the budget machines have no easy way to add feedback mechanisms. So you'd somehow have to either roll your own driver electronics or do major surgery on the existing board. Since I don't actually have a feedback issue at all right now I'll just leave it as it is but if this becomes an issue I will definitely look into it. I still have a small form servo set + drivers laying around from another project so it isn't as if I'm wanting for hardware. And it would be nice to finally put that to use, even though it is probably a bit much for this machine.

This has been the obvious end-goal for the users who constantly demand the EU regulate this or that. People want a legislative solution to the iPhone vs android dilemma: just ban iPhone already. That’s what they want, they’re just boiling the frog to get there. Rip the bandaid off and just ban apple from the market entirely.

I’ve said all along, people are offended that apple is allowed to operate on a different business model from android. That’s the core thing, they don’t want to have a choice between open and walled-garden options, moreover they are annoyed that walled-garden continues to exist and be sustainable and people choose it. Therefore they have to remove that choice from the market so nobody can choose it.

This isn’t an exaggeration or misrepresentation - it comes down to people thinking that walled-gardens need to be regulated out of existence, the people in question would agree with that and think it’s a social good.

The same also applies to the debate between OEM-sourced first party parts and “Amazon bazaar” parts distribution, serialization, etc. It’s not enough that android provides the model you want - you have to eliminate the other model from the market, nobody else can be allowed to choose a product with a reliable first-party parts chain and optimize repairs (including third party) around that. A model that probably results in higher rates of repair and reuse than on android! The option needs to be removed from the market.

It’s a legislative solution to the android vs iOS debate. Just ban apple. Get the EU to do it for you.
