In Ontario, Canada, part of the small claims process is a pre-trial conference, with a retired judge moderating. Further, nothing disclosed may be used as part of the trial.

Its goal is to help with an amicable settlement.

More info: In small claims, lawyers are not forbidden, but they may only speak for their client, and their client must be there, or present remorely, listening and ready to accept offers or deals.

And if lawyers use legalese, the residing judge must explain to you what is being said, and will look unfavorably at the lawyer for not speaking plainly, and wasting everyone's time.

Technically lawyers are not allowed as lawyers, but accommodations must be made for a company 1000s of km or more away. Someone must speak for them.
How to correctly link to UCRT (and why it works that way)
The first few episodes of "Vikings" owed a lot to Ahmad ibn Fadlan, but I think the use of source material went steadily downhill from there. "Roma Sub Rosa" correlated well with my classes for the first few books, but I don't know how they've held up in light of any more recent scholarship.

Chirologia/Chironomia are more oriented to hand gestures rather than whole body, but they might have some clues. Roman orators had a set of stock poses (the memes of the day?), so maybe Cicero actually said something about shoulder shrugging in the "delivery" part of De Inventione? It's certainly a gesture that would have read well in the back rows, had they used it.

EDIT: maybe also somewhere in Quintilian? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Institutio_Oratoria
“Removal” here means “masking”—the pixels under the bright streaks will always be scientifically unusable because the streaks inflate the noise irrevocably. (You can’t see stars in the daytime by “removing” the sun.)

The 7th magnitude limit just minimizes the streak signal cross-talk through the rest of the camera. It also means the satellites are invisible to the naked eye.
One use of shell companies is to protect "not US" businesses from the US govt.

The US Govt asserts jurisdiction over companies that do business with US entities, even if said companies don't do business in the US. As a result, many "not US" companies won't do business with US entities.

One solution involves a shell company outside the US set up by a US entity. That shell company then does business with the "not US" company on behalf of said US entity.

This is not a scheme to evade any law. Like any other company, the shell company is responsible obeying the laws of the country where it is based as well as the laws applicable to dealing with the "not US" company. Similarly, the US entity is responsible for obeying all applicable laws wrt its dealings with the shell company.

Yes, the US govt can go after the shell company but that doesn't reach the "not US" company.
That's why I especially recommend going to their tasting room/events or attached bar.

On a side note, one local place sells white whiskey - aged the legal minimum of 1 day. But it was also less than 50% of the normal whiskey they sell. I got some just to try it. It is not mellow at all, but it is interesting to try it, and it mixes in many drinks just fine and makes them different.
That’s interesting. Anyone with Tesla after 2020 would be auto-reject in my book.
A k/v store typically is really fast at looking up the value based on the key. So there are usually some pretty advanced indexes involved.

Firewall wouldn't be necessary with GrapheneOS. There's a network toggle which you can use to completely cut off internet access for an app. As for the downsides, I would say close to zero. It feels just like a stock OS, without any kind of bloatware and a lot more secure

Platform doors are not that expensive elsewhere. Japan for example but nyc can't look there to see how things could be.
The press release is obviously overselling (also remission != cure), but that's separate from the statistics of the study and it's design and the significance of the results. It's almost always a safe bet to just ignore press releases entirely and jump straight to the paper.
It's amazing what can happen when software companies start doing something approximating real engineering, rather than just sitting a UI on top of some managed services.
> And overall I think the Series S is one of the best bangs for your buck in the game console space, at $299

It's funny that you think that because it's absolutely right of course, and it's a big part of what killed microsoft hopes and dreams to "forget the xone era and try and catch back to what we achieved in the 360 era".

Unlike Sony, MS didn't make both console equal beside optical drive, they made the S less performant and then made it so any game must have every features on both S and X. What this means, in effect, is that player buying the S don't lose out, that game can cut features on Xbox (rather than have it on X but not on S), that xbox dev is standardized on the S stopping the X from showing it's capacilities, and that microsoft can't react to the ps5 pro let alone use the occasion to solve that early mistake because according to their own numbers something like 70+% of their sales are S.

Coupled with the complete lack of worthy first party or dedicated IP beside Forza, this destroyed Xbox ambitions. Microsoft is going all in on gamepass, and it might very well work out in the end (I don't personally think so not until their fix their internal quality game developpement issues, and it's starting to show cracks), but they're not doing it after a nice analysis but because they realized they've so absolutely lost yet another console generation.

Sunbird, which tried to bring iMessage to Android, is returning
> I’m sure there is a way to make barriers happen even at the most difficult stations

There's always a way for any project, but it may be prohibitively expensive.

One obstacle is that trains vary in door positions or widths. How would you solve that problem without buying entirely new rolling stock with a uniform door layout? And is that really the best way for the MTA to spend its money right now?

And that's just one of the obstacles. I'm not disagreeing that the MTA is an inefficient bureaucratic nightmare, but when you really dig into the specifics of this project, it becomes pretty clear why it's not feasible without massive expensive changes to both stations and trains.

I'd much rather the MTA spend its budget on actually improving train service, considering the system is still digging its way out of the deferred maintenance of the 20th century. Platform doors feel like security theater, especially considering the cost.

Keep in mind that although subway crime went up during the pandemic, it was only to 2000s-era levels, and it's now on its way back down — as much as certain media outlets might try to convince you otherwise.
Even in cities that currently have underground rail systems, I think public transport within cities is inefficient. So much time is wasted stopped at stations, and not going directly from your origin to your destination. If the tunnels were paved and road ramps to the surface added so that robotaxis could go down there to avoid the disruptions of the surface, so much time would be saved. Yes, autonomous driving is not good enough yet, but Waymo and the latest Tesla FSD version are undeniably not that far away, so I think cities should start planning for it now since it will likely be a reality within 15 years. It frustrates me that no one in my city's management seems to be thinking about it at all and are instead planning to restrict car access and invest billions in new rail systems that won't be ready until around the time they will be obsolete. They talk about the space used by cars compared to buses/trains without considering that most robotaxis will probably be tiny single occupant vehicles that aren't comparable to today's cars.
Yeah kafka would handle it, except in my experience i would like to avoid kafka if possible, since it adds complexity. (Fair enough it depends on how precious your data is, if it is acceptable to loose some of it if a node crashes)

But somehow they are ingesting the data over network. Would writing files to s3 be slower than that? Otherwise you don't need much more than a RAM buffer?

Edit: to be clear, kafka is probably the right choice here, it is just that kafka and me is not a love story.

But it should be cheaper to store long term data in s3 than storing it in kafka, right?

The performance x all their timeseries specific features like continuous aggregates and `time_bucket` plus access to the postgres ecosystem was killer for us. We get about 90% reduction in storage with compression without much performance hit too
Interesting. In the Nordics, we have a couple of sites dedicated to fact checking news stories, done by real people. I think these kinds of automated tools can be helpful too, but needs to be tied to reliable sources. This became pretty apparent to me with the tech news coverage of xz, too. Lots of accidental (or sometimes intentional?) misinformation being spread in news articles. I wrote about it a bit[0], it was pretty sad to see big international publishers publishing an article based entirely on the journalist's misunderstandings of the situation. Facts and truth is important, especially as we see gen AI furthering the amount of legitimate looking content online that might not actually be true.

Nice idea, and I love outcome-oriented design. There's so much time wasted, especially in startups, on minute UI details which almost certainly have 0 measurable impact. But I don't really agree you need generative ui

> This individual example may be plausible without genUI, but not at scale.

Nothing about that example seems implausible at scale. It's just a combination of personnalisations, saved settings, and learnt user preferences.

Maybe no one puts that particular example together to that level today, but there's nothing stopping someone doing it today without generative ui.
I understand your point, but that's not how things work.
If you source the right ERP you will be presented with procedures and processes that have been streamlined and optimized leveraging previous experiences of literally hundreds of businesses. Smaller and larger than yours. It's an error to dismiss the standard solution without deep consideration.
Any process into a good ERP (e.g. managing a deposit payment, managing stock, documents transformation, uniqueness of product codes, and so on) is battle tested and may be ready to solve issues that at the moment your company in not seeing, but perhaps will have to face with the growth of the next five years and in five years perhaps you'll see the reasons why things were setup that way into the ERP.
I have been happily humbled more than once by that.
Check how things are supposed to work into your ERP, understand them and comply. That's how to have a functioning ERP in your company. Or just don't buy it and go for excel, it's cheaper (but just at the beginning, be warned).
Let's say i trained a model on the artworks of fiona staples that is invoked by typing "fiona staples style". Then i trained a model on the artworks of james daly that is invoked by "james daly style".

What i want when i merge such models is a model that can generate in the artsyle of either fiona and james independently or a mix of both if i specify both keywords in the same prompt.

Currently, if you merge these 2 models and generate "busy city street, fiona staples style", you will not get a model that can generate works in fiona's style, you will just get a model that will generate an odd mix of fiona and daly even if you only specify one of them.

It means you either need to train a million different models for a million different concepts with no chance of cross usage (e.g x person wearing y clothes in z style will not be possible) or train those concepts at the same time, which becomes very cumbersome requiring a retrain of n+1 concepts on a fresh model anytime you want to introduce a new concept.

Oh, and training on x then training on y doesn't work in practice either because the model will mostly forget x learning y.

Functionally, sure. But a lot of their concerns are about data sovereignty after an European court had issues with M365. Given what a stickler for compliance MS typically is, I don't imagine Google would fare any better.

Most of my family actually see things. One or two of them would qualify as hyperphantasiac, presumably.

I see absolutely nothing. When you say “it” is “faint and tacit”, you are describing an “it” that simply does not exist for me. I see a whole lot of people who don’t have aphantasia get hung up on this. They keep describing an “it” without accepting that for some of us there is no “it”.

The way I’ve usually “tested” it among friends/family/clients is to just ask them to imagine that there is a ball, on a table, and someone pushes the ball so that it rolls off the table onto the floor.

I then ask them to answer, from memory, simple things like what color was the ball, what kind of table was it, what material was the floor, was there a sound when the ball fell to the floor, what else happened, etc.

No one I’ve known with aphantasia (including myself) has answers for any such questions when asked to recall what they just imagined, but almost all can answer such questions “while imagining”.
I don't think there is a lack of knowledge, it's there is no incentive to be on time and under budget with the corrupt contractors and unions involved.

You could maybe do this with some public competition where that was an incentive and could bypass the people and processes, but that's not going to happen.

That looks like it's using the step response, which is on for an offline tuner but it wouldn't work for online tuning. Think of an automotive cruise control--to measure the step response the controller would have to floor it, which wouldn't be safe.

They don't allow at home tests. That's my point. If I had wanted my claim to go through, I would have needed to tell my host, who at the time was infectious, to go have a doctor confirm it.

So the price to defend against fraud--which, related to my point #1, is prevalent enough such that Generali has this policy--is to ask infected people to spread their sickness in doctors offices just so they can use doctors as tools to verify claims are legitimate.

So yes, I should have read the policy, but I would not have asked my host to go into the doctor's office and spread COVID around just so I could get my legitimate claim processed. I just wouldn't have bought the policy in the first place.
