Maybe that's nostalgia.. I personally think the clips you shared look awful compared to any modern camera.

I seriously doubt the average person notices any difference between RED cameras and any other modern camera with roughly the same properties.
Wishful thinking: I believe that the earth is round, even if I have not confirmed it with my own experience by walking around it.

> A few days before the Twitter deal was announced, the CEO of MoPub summoned a bunch of us to the office on a Sunday. Nothing like that had ever happened before. At the meeting, he told us about the acquisition (this was when I learned!) and explained that he needed us to sign some paperwork about our equity before the agreement could be finalized.

This sounds dodgy as fuck! If this ever happens to you, please don't sign the paperwork without running it past a lawyer. It's definitely not there to grant you more rights.
Scott Aaronson has an insightful essay on this in chapter 9 of his excellent book, "Quantum Computing Since Democritus". The TL;DR is that quantum mechanics can be derived as a generalization of probability theory using the 2-norm instead of the 1-norm. In Aaronson's words:

"Quantum mechanics is what you would inevitably come up with if you started with probability theory, and then said, let's try to generalize it so that the numbers we used to call 'probabilities' can be negative numbers. As such, the theory could have been invented by mathematicians in the nineteenth century without any input from experiment. It wasn't, but it could have been."

Well worth a read. In fact, I'd say it's worth buying the book just for this one chapter.
Observing the whole debacle I very much doubt they care about their 'reputation'

That’s just sandboxing. They still share a significant amount of resources.
> this is how business often operates on a day to day basis - vague objectives with recognition for effort and process, instead of the actual result.

That's a good point. Perhaps, seen more in larger businesses than smaller ones. As businesses grow, they accumulate support staff. Moreover, planning horizons get longer, so it gets difficult to associate "pnl" and effort concurrently.
This comment by Matt Kelly seems to be the most pertinent

> Regarding the similarity to a double slit interference pattern, what I found in my investigation (see my previous comment) is it was solely the result of the sorting algorithm used for the X coordinates of each possible outcome/weight. Ordering by the average X location results in a binomial distribution, but there are still ties to deal with. Applying secondary sorting to those based on the position of the left or rightmost X creates secondary binomial distributions within the main binomial distribution, similar to what Jonathan showed, except without all the spikiness because his example wasn’t consistently sorted in this manner.

> You can see the sorting I’m talking about by looking at the sorting of Xs in the output of weights in Jonathan’s double-slit examples. The bottom half is sorted as I stated, but the top half is somewhat out of order, corresponding to the spikes in the tallest curve in the center of the graphs.

> Maxime C, I had the same question as you – Why choose this sorting method for encoding the photon positions? My conclusion is that it doesn’t work however. Each additional step run with a large string produces an additional secondary binomial distribution. To get a smooth curve, we’d need to run billions of steps on a large string, but then we we’d also see billions of peaks, which no longer compares well with the expected diffraction pattern.
> Should a war "just" end? Also, a resounding YES

Unfortunately, you lose the privilege to call for an end of war when you've (at some point in time) been in the position of the aggressor. War, in itself, is not a number game. You can't just expect the defender of the current conflict to return the favor by doing exactly as much damage as the aggressor did. War is a means to an end and by initiating aggressions, you have to face the very real possibility that the intentions of your opponent may not match your own.
> A degree of spin and image and projecting confidence is necessary to convince people that someone is worth following.

But people are not worth following. In the context of work, ideas might be good or bad, and the good ones don't need spin unless the environment is already as toxic as Chernobyl.
Overall, as the OP says, the key issue is demographic. That doesn't mean that the issues you note don't exist. The pressure on housing is very real, but much of it is due to an ageing population. Certainly in many places there is a lack of a suitable housing mix that enables empty nests to downsize once the kids have left home, but still remain in the same community. So they rattle round in oversized houses, leading to pressure's the housing stock.
Appeasement was a failure. And enabled Hitler a lot. It also gave him legitimacy.

And no, the USSR did not start the war, that "honour" goes to Germany. The USSR did grap its portion of Poland so.

Regarding Munich, even worse, Czechoslovakia wasn't really consulted neither.

Edit: The war in Europe was ended by all allies, including the USSR. And that the USSR did most of the fighting, and dying outside the holocaust, should be crystal clear to everyone who ever read a short history of WW2 on wikipedia.
the metric is obviously subjective (because nlp) and the reasons are probably found in the nlp/llm.
It’s not possible to reserve terms which are made up from generic words. That’s neither true in trademark law (for good reason), nor anywhere else. Saying “free software” or “open-source software” doesn’t require any upfront definition, both phrases can be understood perfectly intuitively: “free” as in “free of charge” and “open-source” as in “the source code is openly available”.

OSI/FSF decided to use generic words as label to promote their specific ideas. The ambiguity of that unspecific wording choice is on them, not on the rest of the world.
I'm not going down for the umpteenth time with someone appearing to be interested in what broke, but not taking me up on my offer to help them troubleshoot (because Wayland doesn't print any helpful error codes, just freezes my desktop, on a variety of different hardware, a variety of Intel graphics too, variety of distros, all in the same way).

Unfortunately you hand wave away Xorg being not an option an account of not much more than fractional scaling issues, which is pretty easily worked around in my experience, while many people happily use it daily, and have for decades.

I'm not saying things can be better, I'm saying Wayland proponents are always devvy types doing same-ish things on same-ish hardware. No wonder that by now Wayland supports this well!
I think you made a huge leap from military leadership to "leadership" what the article is about. I would argue that military leadership has a good component of meritocracy, while business leadership has a good component of the opposite virtues. Like nepotism, networking, ruthlessness and inflated egos. A company with a terrible ceo can function just fine for a while if they have enough customers. I can't say the same for military in a war.

The thing with guilds is: There is a lot of electrical a non-professional could do themselves safely, if the right materials and techniques are used — but like with everything the problem is knowing and recognizing the small number of situations where circumstances align just right to produce a safety hazard for yourself and others.

I am a self though electrical engineer myself, I just took the exam to prove my knowledge is on par with a master of the guild. So I profoundly agree that this knowledge should be not only free, but as clearly formulated as possible.

Many Belgians boycott Hergé estate because they are behaving unethically.

When Hergé was alive, his works became part of national identity.

Trying to forbid imitations, fanfics and follow-ups should be equal to treason with proper punishment inscribed in Penal Code. Too bad the political circles are soft on such crimes.

> What if those launch sites are top of hospitals or media buildings?

Is that a claim or just a hypothetical scenario? If it's a claim, please provide evidance that supports hospitals were used to launch rockets.

You know what is not hypothetical? the fact that Israel bombed hospitals, UN schools, churches, mosques, civilian shelters, ambulances, and killed tens of thousands of innocent civilians: women, children, journalists, UN staff, Red Crescent members. You know what else isn't hypothetical? Israeli minister's call to wipe out a Palestinian village. It's not about a hospital here or there. Just me typing that sentence makes me sick. The fact that we're past the point where a hospital bombing makes a difference in illustrating the crimes committed. Sadly, the attrocities are far greater.

Here are some not hypothetical Massacres and war crimes committed by Israel:

I wonder if there is a wave formulation for LLM's and transformers in general?
GP is wrong. There is the law of proportionality in the Geneva Conventions which requires "that the expected incidental harm is not excessive in relation to the anticipated military advantage."

>The word to pay attention to here is "military advantage" - i.e. "military value" of the target.
Seeing a "hamas" go into a hospital or a rocket being fired from it doesn't give Israel the green light to bomb it. While there is no well-defined metric or number that defines proportionality - it is safe to say that Israelis don't meet the necessary criteria by any reasonable measure. Establishing the necessary proportionality to justify an attack on a hospital, refugee camp or shelter is needless to say, extraordinarily high.

Take the recent ICC arrest warrants as an example. The ICC just ruled that Russian targeting of Ukraine's power grid constituted a war crime.“During this timeframe, there was an alleged campaign of strikes against numerous electric power plants and sub-stations, which were carried out by the Russian armed forces in multiple locations in Ukraine,” the court said. "The ICC said the attacks led by Koblylash and Sokolov on Ukraine’s electrical grid caused civilian harm which was excessive when compared with any expected military advantage". This even though power infrastructure has clear military value.

Now look at the siege and attack on Shifa hospital. If Shifa was a vital command-and-control hub where the head of Hamas operated from , or if it contained a major ammo depot - that may constitute sufficient military value to justify the incidental deaths caused by attacking a hospital. A calendar and a couple of AKs behind an MRI machine doesn't does not. Moreover the fact that Israelis had to go in and spend weeks on a fishing expedition to dig up (or make up) the sufficient evidence to justify the attack after-the-fact, proves that they didn't have the necessary justification to stage the attack in the first place. Thus the attack on the hospital violates the Geneva conventions and is a war crime. (But don't hold your breath for any action from the ICC - They are extremely biased and beholden to US and NATO interests).

At this point the mountain of evidence is simply undeniable. When we compare the intensity of atrocity committed by the Israelis, to those in other recent conflicts - Mosul, Homs, Mariupol, Grozny, Yemen- the israelis sails past them all with a healthy margin. Israelis killed more children in a few months than the syrians, russians did over many years. In terms of civillian/combatant ratio and the sheer intensity of civillian deaths in a short time-frame- I am not aware of any national force committing similar attrocity in the 21st century (Maybe the Ethiopian civil war, but I don't know, i am not versed on that conflict) If this was Russia or Iran we wouldn't be having this conversation.

Not maybe, movies are simply shot in different ways, people expect different things. Nothing in this world is static.

Now its perfectly fine to dislike 'modern' approach, but in digital era that has absolutely nothing to do with some lens/sensor combo and everything how director decides given scene or whole movie should 'feel'.
It’s not at all obvious to me that women 500 years from now will have the same values as women today, any more than the men. So while female inclusion in history writing obviously has an effect, I don’t think we can infer anything about what that effect will be.
It is impressive, sure, but it also seems prone to clogging, and if it clogs just a bit under the surface, how can you clean it? A pressure washer will be no use, since it only cleans the surface, right?
That depends on the profession I think. If you are designing A/D or D/A converters, you know sampling and all the artefacts by heart. Nyquist criterion is extremely important, but it is simplistic. You need to consider a lot of other stuff like out-of-band noise and harmonics, reconstruction filters etc etc.

We have periodic steady state analysis to simulate sampled systems and harmonic transfer functions by the way. It is extremely useful especially to stimulate noise aliasing.
> Why is migration considered a good thing? Migrants are taking away jobs from locals.

This is just not true generally.

Migrants usually barely make up for natality rate reduction. Many migrants with low level of education usually fill low skilled jobs that most locals aren't willing to do. Those with high level of skills usually fill up markets that are in dire need of those skills anyway or can become entrepreneurs themselves.

> Moving places is hard, you leave family and friends behind. It’s better when everybody finds jobs locally where they live.

I am a migrant, my SO is a migrant. Neither of us would have been as happy as we are had we stayed in our respective countries, and I am pretty sure given the feedback we get the companies we are working for wouldn't have been happier without us.

The irony is as a white, european guy, I am generally never targeted as the migrant who is taking away jobs from locals while my SO, as darker skinned migrant from a country in latin america still considered a developing country, is facing racism and is considered as a migrant stealing job by people having similar views as yours. Yet we are both working and contributing to the country we are living in the same way.

Let's face it, these kind of opinions is never about locals missing jobs but xenophoby.
This view is just absurd.

Anything related to the web was not even consider "coding". HTML monkeys got paid nothing. The idea a HTML monkey was doing engineering was a laughable idea. There were no python jobs when python was brand new.

Sure, a good C or Perl programmer had no trouble getting a job in 1994. There were so many less jobs though overall.

Then in 2000 the entire industry goes on life support for 2-3 years.

The good times are now.

Egypt has said that if people are displaced it will put the peace agreement with Israel at risk. It's understandable that they do want 2 million more people to feed and the problems will just move to Sinai as among those 2 millions many will also support Hamas.

Its also not true that Egyptians hate Palestines. In fact I would say its rather unison that they feel great sympathy with the Palestines in the occupied areas, and the boycott of companies that support Israel is strong. McDonald's and Burger Kings are mostly empty and there are Palestine flags at shops, stickers attached to products you buy and people are sad about the situation.

"you get what you give and the tone in this piece doesn’t sound like someone willing to give anything, not even four hours of their already-shortened workweek."

Why should you give time and energy for something worthless? Listening to 4 hours of bullshit rants about leadership on a monday morning, while you could be relaxed and productive at your home office?

Huge kudos to the author for this article. I'm the founder of the competitive bootstrapped product https://uibakery.io. So I was really surprised to hear that Airplane was shutting down at the beginning of the year. This story provides an insider's perspective on what happened and helps to understand their situation better.

However, it's still sad that in the end, the customers suffered the most. While I agree that the founder probably did fairly well in his situation, it's unfortunate that he did not consider or did not manage to achieve other options, such as buying out the company from investors. They had a decent product that could have become a successful and profitable business within its niche.
The new renderer definitely looks better, but the letters still have something fuzzy about them. They don't feel crisp. Is this due to the font or due to the rendering?
The saw the wind and now reat the worldwind reasoning? Already deeply flawed back when Bomber Harris came up with it.

Yes, once your initial defence is sucessful, you have no justification to turn around and become the aggressor. This is real life and not a game of Civilisation.

In more specific terms regarding the conflict in Palestine: How dar do you want to go back to define the "original" aggressor? Which is utterly pointless, because being attacked is no carte blanche to use whatever means and do whatever you want with the, very loosly defined, "enemy".

Gradient Boosting for Diagnosing the Stage of Liver Fibrosis
The accuracy of the developed method for determining the 3–4 stages of liver fibrosis in patients with chronic viral hepatitis C in comparison with the «gold standard» of diagnosis (liver biopsy) was 80.56% (95% CI: 69.53–88.94%), sensitivity — 66.67%, specificity — 94.44%.
I would agree with this - it's the most standardised way we have. Most of the prescribed fields are designed to work for contemporary popular music, but a subset of fields could be used (and if you look into a lot of the definitions they are more abstract than they appear at first).

On top of that, standard data hoarding management applies:

- Take backups.
- Try to record in lossless forms if you can - better flexibility later if you don't throw data away.

Back in high school ~17 years ago I came across a website talking about it, then a couple months later on a road trip, I remembered it as we were driving though South Dakota. We were about 7 miles away when I remembered, and it was well worth stopping.
