Regarding your situation in point #3, if your claim was of significant monetary value (I'm guessing $>2k) I think at that point I would have cited them some numbers from journal studies on take home tests showing sensitivity of such home tests as at least (78.9)[1] percent of a professionally administered PCR test and that by their actuary logic you should then at least receive at least 78.9% in return compensation of your total claim based on this data and if they otherwise refused a payout your follow up would be with a claims lawyer.

I have no idea how that would play out but it seems like an interesting strategy to take.

This is true from the 'looking back' point of view of how the term's been used in the past, but there's currently a re-appropriation of brutalist experience re-interpreted by a younger, forward looking very creative movement producing these types of experiences that incorporate elements of glitch, retro, video-game saturated colors. You can understand it a bit by seeing how compared to modernslick web design, these creations invoke something similar to the spirit of brutalist.

Imagine how cool it must be to be working on this problem at NASA! Digging through 50 year old engineering documentation not for archival or historical purposes but to actually make it work.
Here's an article by the scientists who created the camera that took this picture, introducing it and describing its design.

https://orbi.uliege.be/bitstream/2268/200751/1/The%20Wide-Fi...

It's very much not an off-the-shelf camera; it seems to have involved years of custom engineering work.

This article doesn't seem to address the specific question of "why is this camera monochrome?" but you can see that it wasn't trivial to make an instrument that would work well in this difficult environment. So it's definitely not like "and let's throw a commercial digital camera on there too just for fun!".

It's a legitimate question why some kind of color camera wasn't considered worth including, but lots of space missions have sensors that are something other than a simulacrum of human vision. That's why so many astronomical images end up getting published in false color.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/False_color

In almost all of those cases, the justification for the false color seems to be some form of "true color wouldn't have been possible or appropriate for the scientific purposes of this imagery".

I don't understand how Microsoft handle's Xbox backwards compatibility on the Series S/X, but under the hood there are clearly stubs to trampoline original expected behaviors to unsupported dialog messages.

Some legacy games appear to not support split-screen anymore, as far as I can tell from the store pages of specific Xbox 360-era games.

All-in-all, it's a subpar experience that I think will only continue to be disappointing, and the only real solution is to find used hardware and play the games in the manner they were originally designed.

Anything off the digital stores will be subject to alteration, sometimes just because they can, it seems.
Memory safe languages are nearly irrelevant. Last time I looked, freaking injection attacks still held the top place among vulnerabilities.

Possibly pertinent: PyModel, a modelling system and model checker in and for Python --- the models are coded in standard Python. In addition to analysis, the system can be used as a test case generator and test runner for offline testing and "on the fly" testing (where a long-running test case is generated as the test executes).

> You see, cybersecurity is broken because of the lack of consequences. It's really that simple.

To put a slightly more explicit phrasing around the blog's message: Consequences fall on the wrong people. The ones screwing up chasing profit are not the ones feeling the pain.

The damage falls on the innocent people the companies were trying to use as resources.

This can be broadly classed as an economic externality, much like how a company can make money dumping poison into the lake but the people who suffer are the ones who drink from it.
The big issue I see with this type of personalization of UI is how much worse I would become at helping others to get things done, since my muscle memory for an interface would have been made for my UI.

I’ve always thought of brutalism as the ultimate “function over form.” It’s brutal in the sense that it “brutally” strips away the form until all that’s left is the function. It’s like minimalism without the vanity.

Yeah, people like to think there’s all kinds of grand conspiracies out there when it comes to insurance companies. But they’re all actually very, very boring. All of these pricing algorithms are filed with the DOI, and are public. There is nothing crazy in them. The reason prices to go up at renewal is because that’s just the optimal economics of insurance companies. Get you in at a competitive new business rate and then increase rates at renewal to offset the losses that new business policies incur.

The product the OP is talking about made quite a buzz in the business when it was first released (I do think it came out for a while). It was a price comparison tool, and the reason it failed was because it was hard to get the big brand names on board. The big brand names didn’t want to compete on price alone, because they spent so much money on their brand. They already had a ton of customers coming straight to their website.

>using an older TV makes the games feel much better

Outside a handful of enthusiasts, the vast majority of consumers are not gonna start buying CRT TVs back in their homes just to play a few vintage video games.

Especially that most CRT TVs are garbage by today's standards, and the ones that are indeed good are rare and sought after and command huge premiums on the used market.

Emulators are by far the more sensible solution for most even if they can't replicate the CRT "effect".

Thank you for your suggestions, axegon!!! We will definitely consider them and add the features in a future version shortly.

Regarding the first version, we are currently working on enabling customized evidence retrieval, including local files. Our plan is to integrate existing tools like LlamaIndex. Any suggestion is greatly appreciated!

Regarding the second point, we have found OpenAI's JSON mode to be greatly helpful, and have optimized our prompts to fully utilize these advances. However, we agree that it would be beneficial to enable the use of other models. As promised, we will add this feature soon.

Lastly, we appreciate your suggestion and will work on improving the installation process for the next version.
> You are paying for the insurance companies increased risk because the people around you can’t drive worth shit.

Insurance companies are supposed to be creating risk pools. If everyone in my zip code drives like shit the insurance company should be splitting them up into pools with better drivers from other areas. There's no reason at all to pool everyone geographically. If the insurance company can't manage risk pools they're fucking up.

Yes, of course. Things like numpy are far from new and in many cases are easy to use wrappers around the real computational workhorses written in, say, Fortran or C. For example, check out lapack https://hpc.llnl.gov/software/mathematical-software/lapack which is still, as far as I know, the gold standard.

Python is widely adapted not really because the language itself is any good or particularly performant (it's not at all), but because it presents easy to use wrapper APIs to developers who may have a poor background in Computer Science, but are rather stronger in statistics, general data analysis, or applied fields like economics.

You don’t have to do anything, that is perfectly clear. Just don’t expect to be successful or be taken seriously if your project is expected to be used by everyone.

I think you might be confusing my intent about a hobby project vs project ownership as a hobby. This article and thread are mainly about the latter.
N-grams are unfortunately an overloaded term.

It's used in the context of multiple "words" as in this article, but also tuples of characters. The confusion stems from the fact that "token" may refer to words as is used in this article (this is common in modern NLP) but older sources often use the word token to refer to graphemes ("letters") and various other breakdowns. This wikipedia article[1] is a good example of such usage.

> I’d like to see metrics for Turkish.

Turkish is in figure 1; its blob is on the lower end.

> developed over the years for efficient military communication purposes

A crude statement of this view would be pseudohistory. It’s common enough for registers of language to develop (and even diverge) in particular social circumstances, and so it wouldn’t be wholly surprising of a military register of Turkish were to have emerged. But there have been lots of other influences on the historical development of Turkish: for example, Arabic and Persian influence, especially in literary Ottoman Turkish; the natural evolution of the vernacular during the Ottoman period; and language reform under the Türk Dil Kurumu to remove Arabic and Persian vocabulary. Any plausible claim of this kind would have to be about the relative influence of military registers.

It’s also not obvious whether the needs of military communication would be particularly different from e.g. industrial communication, or whether that would prioritise speed over e.g. accuracy gained from redundancy.
> Of course, to the extent that the bellhead culture did have awareness of what was on the horizon, the connectionless communications paradigm enabled by packet switching was viewed as a threat to their revenues, as was the idea of a dumb network which eliminates the possibilities for telcos to provide value-added services.

Working for Nortel around this time, we were well aware of the need to collapse data and voice networks into one. My main project was to take the call handling processing logic of a TDM switch and replace the fabric with a packet switching network.

The big difference between netheads and bellheads wasn't packet vs circuit, it was reliability. Bellheads strove for 99.999% whereas netheads just didn't care. IP transmission was not reliable in those days to the extent that it is now.

No, not at all. If anything, the flashy, glitchy BS seems pretty anti-brutalist. Brutalism is about functionality, pure and simple. It doesn’t have decorative elements. It’s not cool,except in temperature. It doesn’t have to be ugly, but the beauty of brutalism is minimalist, at best.

I have been a solid user of SCCS and successors since SCCS became available out of the box on SunOS.

The delget/deledit pessimistic model of SCCS (and RCS, and CVS?) were poor compared to newer VCSes such as SVN and git.

The pain of getting SCCS (and even RCS) to work for multiple networked users was ... well ... profitable for me at my hourly consultancy rate...

But even SCCS saved me/others from many traumas and detected file corruption (even a failing SCSI disc connection once, IIRC).
Hoy offers a cloud-like management experience for baremetal servers, aimed at delivering the same ease and flexibility you'd find with services like Digital Ocean and Vercel but for your own hardware.

Baremetal servers can be significantly more cost-effective and performant compared to traditional cloud services, and they often come with generous bandwidth quotas.

The tool supports servers from any provider, including Equinix and Hetzner.

Here's what you can do once your servers are connected:

- Deploy Node.js and Python applications

- Set up static websites

- Manage databases such as PostgreSQL, MongoDB, and Redis

- Install open source stacks like Wordpress, Elasticsearch, and RabbitMQ

For developers, it has automatic git deployments creating a Vercel/Netlify-like environment on your own hardware.

With hoy cli, deploying an app will be as easy as "hoy deploy"

Using bare metal servers means very low predictable & fixed costs, better performance and eliminates surprise billings.

Hoy is aimed towards large cloud like setups offering distributed compute storage and networking on your own hardware instead of being a VPS management system (Like caprover etc).

You can try it out now with our demo, no signup required: https://demo.hoy.sh/

Happy to answer any questions.
Especially when the processes are beholden to certification authorities (say the FAA, FDA, etc) because the processes has to be approved and cert'd from the agencies.
