Isn't it a given that classification would "outperform" regression, assuming n_classes < n_possible_continuous_labels?
Turning a regression problem into a classification problem bins the data, offers more examples per label, simplifying the problem, with a tradeoff in what granularity you can predict.

(It depends on what you mean by "outperform" since metrics for classification and regression aren't always comparable, but I think I'm following the meaning of your comment overall)

What it means is that it's going to be difficult for Google to give Chrome an unfair advantage by leveraging their other services.

If Chrome wins on merit and Chromium remains a viable option to build competing browsers then that is fine.

I don't want Apple to prevent that by forcing an inferior browser down peoples' throats to make sure the web can't win against native apps.

It’s not though. My company partners with several other Apple sized and larger tech companies. Some are better than others, and we have running jokes about the ones that like to try to throw around their weight. Because, as you might expect, they are unpleasant to work with.
Musicians want what all creators want: the ability to create and share their art with other people. Because global technology like YouTube actually makes that harder (paradoxically, you can share more but fewer people genuinely care), and because of the global push for artless music (modern pop), and because art is being usurped by the tech leviathan to show ads, musicians have little real venues to make music that truly comes from the heart.

So tech provides a bandaid with tools like this. You might think this will allow you to make more music and maybe it will, but it will just be of the artless kind that serves only for connectionless entertainment that will fill up another infinite scrolling algorithm to the detriment of all of humanity.

I would never use your tool nor want to listen to anything made by it.

At least on Windows I can run a one line command line statement to remove all the preloaded junk.

Here's how you can get that entropy using the Shannon entropy equation from https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Entropy_(information_theory).

Like you said, the probability of any digit appearing is 1/30, and there are 10 digits. The probability of a lower- or upper- case letter appearing is 1/78, and there are 26+26 = 52 letters.

Plugging that into the formula for Shannon entropy, we get this:

- 10 * (1/30) * log_2(1/30) - 52 * (1/78) * log_2(1/78) =~ 5.826
> At least we can try to minimize the suffering of the animals.

I don’t understand the ethical framework here. Is it just that you feel bad? Then, why do you feel a need to impose your feelings on others who don’t necessarily feel the same way? If you are saying this because of a belief system, it’s unclear. Can you name or explain it?

I believe in Islam. Our God told us in revelation that He created animals for our consumption, thus we see nothing wrong with killing and eating them. (Our prophet told us to minimize the suffering of an animal while killing it.) Being omniscient, God has the knowledge to definitively determine moral and immoral actions. Being the omnipotent creator and ruler of everything, He has the authority to order humans to behave as per his ethics. Thus I preach God’s morality as I see it. From my viewpoint, I am self-consistent. Now think about your situation. Why should the feelings of fallible people just like me should determine at all how I should act? Are you self-consistent?

Hope this doesn’t come across as offensive, rather legitimate questions to think about. Feel free to point out any mistakes.

> 4) Missing dependency lockfiles (Cargo.lock, yarn.lock, ...). Some distros like Debian do not make use of these files, but in Arch Linux they are used to declare a resolved dependency tree to another ecosystem, like crates.io or npm. If this file is missing, the dependency tree might get resolved at build time (which is not guaranteed to match the versions you'd get when resolving dependencies in a week or three).

Technically accurate but worth mentioning that this does not mean that Debian will just fetch dependencies based on SemVer at Cargo.toml/package.json,... at build time and hope for the best. Debian requires that every dependency no matter the language is its own Debian package with everything it entails. This is why it sometimes takes longer for a package to appear in Debian, even in the testing branch - you have to package every single dependency in the tree first.

Many of us in software development work in companies/organisations of sufficient size that IT-operations will enforce a Windows policy because it fits with their entire infrastructure.

I don’t mind too much, these days windows doesn’t really get in the way. With everything being done in an IDE and run/build in containers anyway. I do think it’s a little hilarious that the beast of a Lenovo that was 5x the price of my personal m1 air is basically worse in every way. From the terrible performance, the noisy fan, the horrible trackpad and the 1 hour battery life. (To be fair a lot of the resource drain is due to whatever enterprise stuff IT-operations runs on it). But for the most part it just sits closed in a dock with its fan thing pointed away from me, and I bring an extension cord with me to be able to hook it into power in our poorly planned meeting rooms.

Anyway, corporate is often a windows world even for SW engineers.

Probably, since Starlink supposedly doesn't need any modifications on the device side and uses regular LTE.

I suspect that this Google service acts as a bridge between RCS and existing and upcoming (non-3GPP or 5G-IoT) satellite messaging services that require some proprietary protocol between the baseband and satellite network.

For example, Iridium SBD is a request-response based protocol not based on SMS or IP that doesn't require large external antennas (unlike Iridium voice calls); this could be used by a phone manufacturer or operator partnering with them to hook that protocol into the default Android messaging application.
From my reading, it punishes "racially aggravated harassment" directed against a specific individual. You can choose to express generic racist opinions and that wouldn't be prohibited by this bill.

I don't see very many "free speech fundamentalists" complaining about anti-harassment laws, so I don't see why this would be an issue.

I used to be able to approve my duo notifications from my Garmin when I had an Android phone, but that functionality isn't available when using an iPhone. I found out recently that you can still do that from an apple watch on an iPhone, when my wife got one. So there is at least one area of functionality that Apple is likely restricting.

> The system - whose security I trust much more than a phone's - uses a small device with a camera. The login screen shows me a pattern with colored dots. The camera reads those dots, decodes the message (and probably also validates it cryptographically) and displays a message asking me to verify I want to log in.

How do they protect against phishing? That sounds like the weak MFA where attacks spoof the login page but make their own connection to your bank and pass through the challenge and response, which means that a user who doesn’t fastidiously check the hostname can be convinced to enter a TOTP, SMS, etc. code.

Phone-based WebAuthn systems are immune to that because they incorporate the hostname into the signing process so even if they convince you that they’re hugeb<cyrillic a>nk.com there’s no way for you to override that and give it a response which works for hugebank.com.

Do you think the feature is a good thing though?

I think if the system could limit the ability of rich guys to corrupt legislators, then regulation would just work. I think "Citizen's United VS FEC" kind of broke regulation in that sense. It probable had a positive effect on the economy for some years, but imo it broke American politics. We've even started to see regulators like the EPA and SEC lose high profile court cases.

I'm no lawyer and I think this looks like a great case, but I'm not too confident.

There is no compelling evidence that Musk is smart. That’s not being a “hater” it’s just reality.

In any timeframe there are people who rise by luck with timing and opportunity. Musk is that guy. He bet on EVs just before massive subsidies became available for them and then got lucky as the incumbent companies mostly did nothing.

He bet on space just before the US lost its only human capable system and again hovered by taxpayer funds and contracts.

All again in an era of free money post 2008.

As for the products? Teslas are some of them worst built cars ever made and Tesla produced vehicles for segments Americans don’t want. Minivans, sedans and limousines.

Space X meanwhile makes rockets which are a step back from the Shuttle in terms of capability and which will now require 6-8 launches what Apollo could do in 1. All built on lies about building a Mars capable craft which will carry 100 people - a feat Starship will never attain as it’s too small.

Musk has had an incredible string of luck but makes awful decisions, has no design sense and pretends to be a genius.

He’s very average indeed. His politics and attitudes are like a lot of gamers because that’s all he is.

> I assert it is trivial to not buy Apple products

While it is easy to not buy Apple products, I think the thing that often gets missed is that once someone is significantly invested in Apple's ecosystem, getting out of that ecosystem is highly disruptive and difficult.

For example, suppose you are a person who for historical reasons owns a MacBook, and iPad, and an iPhone, and a large chunk of your friends group also has those. The default choice then for you to use a cloud storage solution is Apple's iCloud Drive. The default choice for you to store and share photos is Apple's Photos App. The default choice for you to message your friends is the iMessage App. The default way for you to store passwords is Apple's Keychain Manager.

If you then decide "you know what, I'm fed up with Apple, I'm going to buy an Android", suddenly your cloud storage solution, your photo storage and syncing solution, your messaging solution, and your password management solution are all not supported, so you not only need to find an alternative on your new device, but you also have to do so on all your other devices if you want your phone to be in sync with them. This is a really high friction environment, and makes it so that a lot of people feel trapped in Apple's ecosystem.

So you can be a person who would not choose to buy Apple products today if you were starting from scratch, but you can feel compelled to continue buying them because Apple has made it so that switching in the future is very inconvenient and impacts all your other devices. It's specifically people in this situation who are being taken advantage of by Apple and why Apple's practices are labelled as monopolistic.

Apple spent a long time acquiring customers and coaxing them into their walled garden, and now they're switching tactics to milking those customers now that it's inconvenient for them to leave the walled garden.
That's good to know. I heard Australia had the worst CO2 emissions per capita of the world in 2009, so even if PFAS air pollution isn't about CO2, there are correllations so it's wierd to see it both in the best and worst (of course extremely low population density can hide high air pollution per capita).

> Actually I have been wondering why we need so many general-purpose models? People in this world come from different industries and what they need is targeted solutions. Vertical models can address nuanced problems that general-purpose models might overlook due to their broad training.

It'd be interesting to see a direct comparison which would answer the question of "how many less parameters do you need for a targeted vertical model to solve the same problem as a general purpose model".

Like, for example, let's say we pick the task of translating Python to JavaScript, or just any other concrete task: how small could you make a model that only can do this task, vs a general purpose model that can also do this equally well plus a bunch of other things? I wonder if there are any interesting papers tackling this?

The new Nancy Bird Walton airport in western Sydney is interesting. The existing airport is very close to the CBD and residential areas, and completely hemmed in by those and the bay it sits next to, so has little room to expand. It's also subject to a strict curfew being so close to residential areas.

The new airport is huge, being built at an impressive speed, and is going to be on a new metro line (which strangely doesn't link up to the existing metro lines in Sydney, and won't have a direct non-stop rail link). It's being built in a location that's currently "the middle of nowhere" so that it has scope to expand (they're currently building about half of what's already been planned for).
Some of the authors of this paper worked on Augury, too, but note that this is a different angle than Spectre: that was speculative execution (running instructions before knowing which way a branch would evaluate) and this is data prefetching.

The reason this keeps coming up is that it isn’t a single issue but a class of attacks exploiting performance features, and attackers are getting more sophisticated as smart people figure out new techniques. Chip designers have been adjusting but are trying not to throw out the last couple decades of performance improvements, too.
