> Bayesian approach sounds like a religion (one true way).

Only about the things that can be mathematically proven. Which is just like any other branch of math.

It is true that some Bayesians (and EY can be argued to be among them) like to talk as though Bayesian computation is a drop-in replacement for your brain. Of course it isn't, and Bayesianism, like any mathematical approach, should be taken with a good-sized dose of humility. As Bertrand Russell said, to the extent that mathematical propositions refer to reality, they are not certain, and to the extent that they are certain, they do not refer to reality.
That's the actual insane problem.

I noticed long ago that unreferenced commits survive on GitHub for long, but I couldn't find a way to discover them.

I know that GitHub stores together the objects of many repositories, but they should have implemented and offered a way to gc them when they came up with that optimization.

Sure, there would still be the chance that someone already obtained the objects by the time you gc them, but it's a much lesser risk then leaving them there indefinitely (and they could provide a log of the last fetches to better assess the impact of the erroneous push).
The biggest thing that bugs me about the Len Sassaman theory is that the original bitcoin paper, while amazing, doesn't seem like it was written by a PhD candidate. It cites just eight related works, and the W. Dai citation was famously added only after someone else suggested it, because Satoshi reportedly didn't know about it. A typical paper by a PhD candidate will cite dozens of related works, and Len Sassman would certainly have knowledge of dozens of related works off the top of his head. There should be a whole section citing the literature and enumerating the ways in which the proposals and findings in the paper are novel contributions.
The press conference for this was wild.

They discovered that they were in a more elliptical orbit than they wanted, so they did a burn to correct it and fired up their laser range sensor for powered descent to see how far away they were. That sensor didn't work. They forgot to take off the safety switch which protects the worker's eyes on earth.

So they swapped their range finding sensor within a few hours while orbiting the moon with a completely different sensor that was on the vehicle as a technology test.

> the number of roots even for the same quadratic equation may depend on "private" thoughts such as whether complex roots are of interest

No. The number of roots that you care about might depend on your private thoughts; but the number of roots itself does not. It's a mathematical fact. It just might not be a mathematical fact that you actually care about. But what you care about is not part of math.

Admittedly, though, I don’t recall ever seeing a scheme that uses commas throughout. Usually if the decimal is a comma, the thousands separator is a period, in my experience.

Over a decade ago, I was doing some composing and so I tried every free composition program, as well as trials of commercial ones.

In the end, only LilyPond was easy and intuitive to use, due to relying on text editing that you already know, instead of incomprehensible editing paradigms where weird, invisible things happen.

I was easily able to find out how to include everything I wanted in the output, like fingering indications and chord diagrams.

Third party GPU repair is a big business and many GPU schematics and boardviews somehow find their ways from corporate SVN servers to paid forums and google drive links. They would provide enough information, like net names, to identify the straps.

If design files from a particular company is not available, one can usually reference other schematics using the same GPU chip as their board designs are usually similar.

I was born less than a half-mile from The Angel, in my grandmother's house on Liverpool Road (252 for those who care). She moved to Bath when I was about 13, though I continued to live in London until I was 17.

On almost every visit back to London, I find myself drawn to the area bounded by The Angel at one end, Canonbury at the other, with Liverpool Rd and Essex Rd as the other two boundaries. It wasn't until a few years that I came up with an understanding of why this might be, for it seemed to go above and beyond simple childhood nostalgia.

After I was born, my parents moved to a small village in the Midlands, but we would make the 120 mile journey back to my grandmother's very frequently. Eventually, when I was 10, we moved back to London, and the person who was to become my step-father also close by lived on Essex Rd. Because of all this, I think that this little corner of the world was the place where I first learned something about how cities work. Even, perhaps, about how the world works. There were a lot of early lessons acquired simply by being in this area, the sort of lessons that you often don't even know that you've learned.

I think I go back because I need to double check. I need to dig into the things I learned about the world from Islington, intentional or not, and compare them with what another 50+ years on this spinning globe have revealed. What did I get wrong? What did I get right? How and what did I misunderstand? Or not see?

I live a small village in New Mexico now, but I'll be back in London in a couple of weeks. I can pretty much guarantee that I'll be wandering around the Angel and Upper St. at some point during that visit, looking for how I was enlightened and misled by a childhood in orbit around this place.

Immigration is not in and of itself a cause of prosperity, it is the diversity of thought and opinion that comes as a result. Like all things in the world, too much of anything becomes harmful.

The Trusteeship Council was indeed disbanded in 1994 when they considered their mission finished, following the independence of Palau. So, yes, you can say mission accomplished.

However Palestine was never a Trust territory so it was always outside of that specific mission. However it still falls within UN’s greater mission of general decolonization. This is evidenced by one of its other Principal organs—the General Assembly—voting to start a trial at the ICJ (yet another one of its 6 Principle Organs) to see if Israel’s conduct in the occupied territories (including the West Bank and East Jerusalem) constitutes an illegal activity within international law.

So, no, UN’s mission to decolonize Palestine is still very much ongoing. And it seems like the vast majority of member nations are not happy with the current state of affairs, and do indeed want greater efforts to be taken to further decolonization of Palestine.
As much as I think something like this would be a huge benefit, we might need more regulation for these bio-monitoring devices that all seem pretty unreliable in aggregate. In my experience sleep trackers, body fat % scales, calorie trackers, even heart rate meters are 'okay' but have all given ratings that were so bad that I just can trust them. A tracked yes or no question like, "Do I feel like I got good sleep last night?" seems way better than a sleeptracker that can basically only be relied on to tell if I'm in the bed or not.

There should be some requirement that you study and publish the correlation of your device to the current medical gold standard for a reasonable sized population. So a sleep-lab sleep score vs a mattress or fitbit tracked sleep score. Or a body-scale fat% compared to a hydrostatic weighing.

Besides that it also needs to perform the payment, why do they need to pull 180 days of transaction history just so that I can give the merchant their money? (I'd be happy to just be given an IBAN number and transaction description to use and do it myself.)

At least that's what the consent screen said it was going to do: assess my creditworthiness before withdrawing the money. There was no way to pay without sharing who my employer is and how much I earn, which shops I visit in which cities, where I've been on holiday, what online purchases I do and on which platform and how frequently and for how much, etc. Obviously I declined this but since it's one of the logos you see every time, I guess a lot of people "consent" to this (knowingly or otherwise)

Numbered Musical Notation
Personal story: Some of my relatives in Thailand play the piano or electronic keyboard as a hobby. Almost all their "sheet" music score books are printed in this notation, but some of my western friends didn't realize it was music at first until they saw the lyrics.

Later on, I learned that country music in the US uses a somewhat similar "Nashville System" [1], but I believe that system doesn't let you span multiple octaves the way this system does.

Typical usage of blood glucose monitoring (by diabetics) is simultaneously safety critical, and only borderline good enough accuracy. There's a standard metric for accuracy here, MARD (mean absolute relative difference).

There is a long history of companies promoting themselves to investors as having working noninvasive glucose monitoring technology, which, if you look at the actual accuracy scores, is only moderately correlated with glucose, nowhere close to the accuracy required. If Apple ships a noninvasive glucose monitor with an MARD of 20, the primary effect will be to set a trap for the stupid: diabetics will attempt to use it to save money, since it will be much cheaper than using real CGMs (which are consumable), and people who try to do this will die.

> What matters is does the song you’re listening to sound good.

Good point. I still think there’s very little scope for customisation though. Once you find what sounds good, you can stop.

With stationery, there’s no such thing because the question isn’t as simple as ‘does it sound good?’. It’s more like ‘does it feel good?’, ‘does it inspire me in my work?’, ‘does it work well for this particular situation?’.

I personally think you’re wrong to write all of this off as fetishism; it can be a life-enriching interest. Of course there are people who take it too far, and you only have to go to Reddit to find those people.

To some extent it’s also a matter of fashion, and if you’re one of those people who doesn’t ‘get’ fashion (in clothes, or in anything else) then there’s not much to be reconciled — it just doesn’t please you and that’s fine.

> obsessing over which particular tube amp sounds warmer.

I agree that that kind of thing is just boring as hell and detracts from any possible discussion or enjoyment of music.

Seeking perfection actually is particularly boring to me, which is why it’s not what I do with stationery either. It’s more appreciation of an object, flaws and all, than it is a pointless never-ending (and wallet-draining) search for some fictional nirvana like it is with speakers.
Here's an idea: lets burn down FICO and the credit reporting bureaus.

After all things seemed to work fine before credit scores. Perhaps we put too much "stock" in them in the first place. There has to be better ways to manage this.

One way I could forsee is a government agency that acted as a reporting depot. Then you could forbid the sale of information, and create legislative firewalls for it to keep it out of the hands of other agencies[1].

Though I will continue to argue that credit scores are deeply flawed[0].

[0]: FWIW, I have excellent credit too, so I hardly run into any real issues with it, but I have see the other side of this table. They are often used in such a way I would classify it as prejudiced discrimination with extra steps. For bigger / riskier loans. You could instead opt for point in time financial audits, for example.

[1]: Two things of note. One, last I looked into this, the government very much pulls credit reports on pull without any oversight as it sits today. Two, there is a history of legislative firewalls that do work, they need clear and strong oversight provisions, and today we have almost zero oversight of the credit bureaus. I'd roll the dice on creating something akin to the GAO or Federal Reserve type agencies (that is to say, very independent from lawmakers and presidents but still have competent oversight), but for something that functions for the intentions behind what these scores are suppose to be for.

Costs in all major areas have increased. The cost of goods has gone up. That’s the ingredients, beverages (alcoholic or not), and indirect items (linens, silverware, dish soap, etc.). The cost of transporting the goods to establishments has gone up. Not just fuel, but the labor in warehouses and driving vehicles, not to mention maintaining those vehicles (usually semi trailers). The cost of real estate has generally gone up where food establishments are located. The cost of labor has gone up, not just in the restaurants but also the industries that service or supply restaurants. It would be impressive if the cost of eating out hadn’t gone up.
