My experience is that it's pretty good at reading text and pretty bad at understanding layouts. So e.g. asking it to work with tables is asking for trouble.
The best smtp server out there!
I had used Pi-hole and blocky. Pi-hole is nice for the non-expert who just wants to block ads, with a neat web interface. But with blocky, instead of a web interface you can fully configure blocky in a single nice-documented extensive YAML file. Metrics are retrieved per Prometheus and can be visually shown in something like Gragfana. It has A LOT of features and is faster. :)

What's missing is that I don't want to learn and use some clunky web UI in order to do this. I want the UI to be "download this text file" and then use the tools I already know and understand (local text processing utilities and text editors)
They didn't try that. They also didn't engage with other literature showing link with lead and crime at a micro level. In other words, they didn't seriously counter the lead hypothesis, which is stronger than their work.

This is an important dimension missing from other comments. AirBnB is just one inevitable manifestation of the underlying revolution in communication technology. That, plus shifting cultural factors has allowed "the market" to decide that some physical places have a fundamentally different core value prop than they once did.

And for some residents that's a huge windfall. Let's remember that the AirBnB hosts, or the people who sold out to investment corporations, were all those small town locals at one point. They helped decided what was going to happen to the town. (Though we can acknowledge the game theory traps involved).

I'm not saying it's right on wrong, but it's strange to "blame" AirBnB. The content of article amounts to "towns are finally deciding how they want to evolve in the face of changing culture and market forces". Good for them.

I have some pretty broad musical tastes. If I throw on some modern, electronic music, or anything pop, these do a pretty good job.

The moment I dip into jazz, into anything where the range between the quiet parts and the loud parts (read pre 1990) is large they just dont perform any more. No amount of EQ is going to make up for that missing range.

The best example of this that I can give is Caltrains A Love Supreme. On something good there is a looming undercurrent in the track, the humming is alive. The track is lifeless on every bluetooth headphone I have heard. Hell even my Sonos speakers in the kitchen do a better job.

The route of the word forgive is from early German, 'fragebaną'. Meaning to release or give up. Forgiveness is not about understanding the motivation of the person who's hurt you. Nor is it about their penitence - although both can make forgiveness easier. Forgiveness is about letting go of the anger and resentment that continue to cause pain, long after the offending action is over (and even after the offender is dead). The purpose of forgiveness is not 'brainwashing' or detachment from reality. It's about letting go of suffering to proceed through life with less pain. Which allows us to be kinder and more humane people, since we're no longer at risk of externalising our own suffering.

What does it mean for a measurement to be probabilistic?

I'm a math grad student, so still a layman, but here's the way I think about it: Every particle travels over every possible path as the wave spreads out. Once you measure the particle, it tells you a path.

So the measured value of the particle is probabilistic, not the measurement.

Have you published anything? There are a few games that I would love to be able to round trip between the original disc contents and a build with a few tweaks or experimental features. I know there is a Wipeout decompile/source leak, but having more examples is always wonderful.

Something like the Mario 64 reverse engineering project has made the game playable effectively everywhere with the ability to take advantage of modern hardware (16:9 displays). It would be great to see efforts like that for any console.

I was just about to mention thorium separately, in reply to gumby's comment above about the size of the subcontinent and its mineral potential, then saw your comment mentioning thorium, and decided to piggyback on it:

I have read somewhere that the black sands of Kerala's coast are black due to thorium. I have read that more than once, in different places.

I just googled monazite:

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monazite

Excerpt:

[ Monazite is an important ore for thorium,[8] lanthanum, and cerium.[9] It is often found in placer deposits. India, Madagascar, and South Africa have large deposits of monazite sands. The deposits in India are particularly rich in monazite.

Monazite is radioactive due to the presence of thorium and, less commonly, uranium. ]

There's a lot more to it than snapshots or timestamped columns when it comes to ML training data generation. We often have windowed aggregations that need to computed as of precise intra-day timestamps in order to achieve parity between training data (backfilled in batch) and the data that is being served online realtime (with streaming aggregations being computed realtime).

Standard OLAP solutions right now are really good at "What's the X day sum of this column as of this timestamp", but when every row of your training data has a precise intra-day timestamp that you need windowed aggregations to be accurate as-of, this is a different challenge.

And when you have many people sharing these aggregations, but with potentially different timestamps/timelines, you also want them sharing partial aggregations where possibly for efficiency.

All of this is well beyond the scope that is addressed by standard OLAP data solutions.

Not to mention the fact that the offline computation needs to translate seamlessly to power online serving (i.e. seeding feature values, and combining with streaming realtime aggregations), and the need for online/offline consistency measurement.

That's why a lot of teams don't even bother with this, and basically just log their feature values from online to offline. But this limits what kind of data they can use, and also how quickly they can iterate on new features (need to wait for enough log data to accumulate before you can train).
> I get it, OTOH, humans are unfortunately selfish assholes. In any sufficiently large group of people, there are always conflicts - people attempting to assume control, marginalize/exclude/bully other individuals, etc. Which is part of the reason why people seek out these alternatives.

The prevalence of this is greatly, greatly exaggerated in my experience. School was absolutely like this, but the further you get from school, the less anyone really gives a shit. Most people (key word: most) just want to chill. And if you're chill with them, they will chill with you.
In fairness it wasn't Apple who implemented the non-mac uses of their hardware.

AMD's driver is in your kernel, all the userspace is on GitHub. The ISA is documented. It's entirely possible to treat the ASICs as mass market subsidized floating point machines and run your own code on them.

Modulo firmware. I'm vaguely on the path to working out what's going on there. Changing that without talking to the hardware guys in real time might be rather difficult even with the code available though.

To me, the interesting parts of this are:

"We also show that some online conversation features have remained consistent over the past three decades despite the evolution of platforms and social norms." and "Our findings suggest that the polarization of user opinions—intended as the degree of opposed partisanship of users in a conversation—may have a more crucial role than toxicity in shaping the evolution of online discussions."

This is something I've noticed too, as a former participant of a tiny social media site originally forked from Hackernews. Different political opinions and a controversial subject can make for a really unpleasant place, and without any sort of real-life connection, everything is so abstracted that it's hard to be respectful. People on that site that I know are usually good commenters got toxic, I try very hard not to be toxic and had to leave when I couldn't.

Moral is, theres some anecdotal proof for the conclusion , and it does make me wonder that maybe the reason facebook / twiter / etc. is so toxic isn't due to being milked for engagement. Or at least, that that's not as big a factor as I thought. And this seems like it could have some implications on how to make for a pleasant fediverse.
China hasn't been a low-wage country since 2016. They're able to continue to build cheaply because they built an efficient and comprehensive supply chain with increasing levels of automation and robotization. BYD factories are full of robots.

I changed my mind about your wrist.
It took the better part of a decade to get close to the light quality that incandescent bulbs produced, and we're still not really 1:1.

For alot of things, that's fine, but I distinctly remember having to bring clothing over to a window because the bulbs I had would not render the color of it accurately enough to put an outfit together. That's partly the clothing manufacturer's fault for using cheap dyes that are prone to metameric failure, but still, annoying.

I'm still in the process of purging the early gen LED bulbs that I have with nicer, high CRI, High Ra, variants, and getting dimmable bulbs in the places where it matters, because around me, the incandescent rollout was more of a rugpull when LED's first came out, and I snagged a couple bulk cases of cheap LED bulbs to use that were... not great.

I do keep a few decorative 'eddison' bulbs, aka squirrel cage bulbs, for reading use, as they are very warm, like 2300k, and the light they produce is very comfortable to be in at night. They use a ton of power, but, because they're not running their filaments as hard as they could, they tend to last forever. I've had one go out in ~10 years because I had removed it for cleaning and dropped it while it was hot (and also because it was hot), the envelope survived but upon being turned back on it ran for about a second before failure.

All of that to say, yes, there were downsides, mostly short/mid term downsides, some that persist to this day if you're not clever or don't know what to care about.

For example, if a person suffering from a bout of depression, were to write their depressed feelings "there is no point, no hope" etc.. then rip the paper up and throw it away, might it have any effect on their mood?
I tend to agree, assuming there are no false positives. Admittedly, I’m not sure how often that occurs, nor if we even can know that based on all the various work environments the cheap table saws are being used in today.

My internal cyncism says we may as well end up with a regime similar to healthcare insurance in the US which puts a lot of the costs on consumers ahead of time, and is otherwise hidden – a scheme where, in theory, people often get compensated for horrific accidents, but where (a) the better the compensation you want, the higher the upfront cost (of the saw), and (b) the more horrific the (saw-related) accident and the higher the potential cost to the insurer (manufacturer), the more hoops the consumer will have to jump through to prove that their injuries were due to unavoidable injury/whatever the standard is for non-frivolous claims. There's "ideal" insurance, and there's insurance in pattern, practice, and procedure, and the US is the worst example of that.

There's every incentive for a jobsite to use the cheapest saws, and cross their fingers; there's every incentive for a manufacturer to make it as painful as possible to ask for compensation. Either way, if you're working for an el cheapo contractor on an entry-level wage, you're probably screwed.
