I would think adding a simple timestamp to the message would be helpful instead of just a Boolean “has been scanned” type of flag. With the timestamp you could at least say something like “this ticket was previously scanned at <time>.” Then from that message you would know whether it was an accidental double scan (the time being within seconds of now) or whether some time had passed, which I would hope would raise an eyebrow.

Edit: I have no idea what the actual messaging looks like. It could indeed have a timestamp. I’m just hypothesizing.
If sampling from the density is the only goal, then you are absolutely right. Can directly estimate empirical CDF as you pointed below. But histograms can still be useful to approximate the PDF itself? (taking the derivative of the empirical CDF to estimate PDF is wild as you said)
Blaming users who were mislead and are being exploited is not exactly a constructive way to approach things. Nothing is really anonymous if you look hard enough. Even with a fake profile, VPN and throwaway email your unique browser footprint and data broker lookups will probably identify you. Let's place the blame where it belongs, on the company.

> With no fixes available from Intel or Lenovo, there’s not much users of these affected hardware can do. It’s worth mentioning explicitly, however, that the severity of the lighttpd vulnerability is only moderate and is of no value unless an attacker has a working exploit for a much more severe vulnerability.

For unsupported but functional hardware with vulnerable BMCs, it would be helpful to have a toolkit (e.g. stacking multiple exploits) for hardware owners to replace the vulnerable software with OpenBMC, https://github.com/openbmc/openbmc.

Abandoned hardware owners could crowdfund an effort to add OpenBMC compatibility testing for their devices. This also falls under the rubric of repairability technology and a circular economy for electronics.

I just read an article about a 19-year old making $10,000/month from the Alexa developer incentive program. It's sad that this will be ripped out from him and other developers in a few months.

I would’ve said try allergy shots but I did earlier in the year and they gave me awful side effects worse than the allergies themselves. I also get side effects from allergy medicine. I’ve used Flonase which is not an antihistamine with moderate success. A room air filter could also help indoors.

If you’re considering moving just because of the allergies maybe shoes are still worth considering. My insurance covered it and my allergies weren’t debilitating just annoying.
Yes, I felt the same too. You said what has been in my mind but I was unable to articulate it. Sometimes I would be shown random post from extremely distasteful subreddits which I never subscribed to (awefuleverything I think). Sometimes I would get messages from random fake accounts with nude pictures of women asking me I am indeed. I haven’t used Reddit in a while. I used to be addicted to it. At its beginning Reddit represented freedom promised by the internet. Maybe because if that people don’t dis Reddit but focus on Instagram.
I used it more for future-proofing in case I wanted to do sensor fusion or something like that later on -- currently it's just 1D filtering so I could have used anything. Also I'm just way more familiar with using Kalman filters so it was also a comfort thing!

Yeah, TBH I'm kind of sad about where OpenCL ended up, because it "should have" been what CUDA was used for from 2011-2021. AlexNet, TF, Pytorch, etc. "should have" been written with OpenCL backends.

But the driver implementations inconsistency, version support issues, etc. meant people used CUDA instead.

I agree Vulkan has its own issues, and having written some MoltenVK stuff, you clearly know the quality-of-life pains in developping with it. That said, at least from the user side it works and performs well.

> Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) is a synthetic fluoropolymer of tetrafluoroethylene. It belongs to the per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS)) and has numerous applications. The commonly known brand name of PTFE-based composition is Teflon by Chemours, a spin-off from DuPont, which originally discovered the compound in 1938.

My bad it's on the insertion side, you can O(1) insert into the middle of Array-likes like Set in JS (which I use in this lib), where I think Python is O(n) for all it's Array-likes. Think you can O(1) append to an Array though.

But there are at least a few other reasons Python is generally slower than JavaScript. It's popular in ML because it was popular in math, and it was popular in math because it's easy to teach in schools. People use Python for its ML libraries, and now its ML communities, not because it's a fast language - it isn't really. And has no browser implementation, so there are a few reasons I didn't choose Python.

Reading it again I think I understand what the other poster meant now, but they also said "multi-process has nothing to do with the language" when it does have a lot to do with scaling Node especially to handle concurrency. I did a little demo here a while ago to show what I mean, check out the browser tab example: https://github.com/bennyschmidt/simple-node-multiprocess

Oh please, not this dumb argument again. Have you actually ever visited or lived in rural American areas? These people are not farmers.

Well, it depends if your self-rolled version is a complete library, or a quick sidetrack you implemented as a bigger project. If you published it as an installable independent library, and Ruby was using it, I think it's safe to say that you had a complete product. The evil of self-rolled CSV is that people often build on an incomplete understanding of the problem, don't have unit tests, or do something simplistic that necessitates workarounds like this: https://metacpan.org/pod/Data::TableReader::Decoder::IdiotCS...

(case in point, that crazy workaround is only possible because of a large expenditure of effort by the authors of perl's Text::CSV which very few CSV parsers would have implemented)

"Everything you use contains dozens of these libraries: some commercial, some open source and freely available."

"Everything". Really. I use numerous programs that do not "contain dozens of libraries".

How could he improve the sentence. Perhaps something like

"Many programs link to dozens of these libraries..."

"Everything most people use contains dozens of these libraries..."

And so on.

I am typing this comment in textmode using a text-only browser that is statically-linked to less than five libraries, including libc. I'm not using any commercial libraries. I have no idea what comprises "everything" anyone reading it is using or whether each of those things is linked to "dozens of libraries". How would I. And neither does this author.

How difficult is it for an author to verify the accuracy of each sentence in an article. Perhaps it is more difficult when you rely on software developers as sources and they tell you a story full of hyperbole, exaggeration and biased, selective disclosure of facts.

So you can only widen the subsequence, never shrink it. Shrinking would address the issue raised by TFA:

> If a series contains an outlier value that requires a very large window to encode, and all subsequent values have nonzero values only in a much smaller subwindow, the inefficient larger window will get locked in because we never hit the condition that would trigger a reset of the window size.
Car companies in 1910 would have been real bastions of free enterprise. By 1950 they had massive lobbyists and all the rest.

All large industries wind up working with government. The tech companies didn't have them initially because they were not that big. But now that they are huge of course they work with the US government.

The US government and big business have interests that sometimes converge but to say it's all corporatist is overstating it.

The US government still engages in anti-trust. Companies would sit there and be really annoyed by various actions taken by the US government.

> we optimise for how fast we can implement marketable (and often hostile) features.

I actually think local LMs are the antidote for this. Every UI I use these days is optimized by designers for attractiveness and hordes of PMs for business KPIs, not engineers for useful functionality. With local LMs I can take back control over the UI I actually use. The LM can deal with whatever trash UI redesign is being forced on me, and present a much simpler UI that matches my specific needs.

For example, it can summarize the news and I never have to visit a news site and be assaulted by dark patterns. It can collect family photos from Facebook and show me a few without random TikTok videos inserted between them. It can trawl Amazon and Target and Walmart to find a shortlist of products for me to pick from, filtering the trash. It can watch that 10 minute long YouTube video past the sponsored segment to find the nugget of information I need to fix my dishwasher or whatever.

We're a long way from this now. But I see a path there, and a world where users have control over the UIs they use is a better world.

With corporate VPNs it often doesn't work anyway. Even though I'm not in the US, I sometimes am forced to use the US VPN access point (e.g. because someone forgot to add the IP range for the non-US VPN access points to the firewall rule for internal service X, and if I complain it will be fixed in a day or two, but I need to use internal service X right now). While I'm doing that, websites will think I'm in the US, even though I'm on the other side of the planet.

Math to Code: tutorial to teach engineers to read and implement math using NumPy
> Software engineering is not a low-status position

Pay is not status. Software currently pays quite well, but in most companies today a developer is at the very bottom of the status curve. Developers are no longer allowed any say in what to build or how to build it, they are micromanaged by product managers and program managers and team managers and required to give daily status reports ("agile").

(I say "used to" because in the 90s developers were a high status role. You got to make all decisions and execute on them with great independence. Pay was much lower but respect was much higher.)

The other stress factor is that developers get decreasing respect every year they age. This is in contrast with basically every other professional role where experience is highly valued. Nobody wants the rookie heart surgeon, everyone wants the 60 year old who has done it thousands of times. But nobody wants a 60 year old software engineer.
Nice! Does it create images for deployment as well?
This is also why neither the left nor the right, nor Democrats or Republicans, nor capitalists or socialists, seem to be speaking clearly to the moment in which we live. [...]

I truly wish these companies were genuinely private, but they are not. They are de facto state actors. More precisely, they all work hand-in-glove and which is the hand and which is the glove is no longer clear.

Epoch Times guy is really onto something here. It's crazy that there's no existing body of literature that explores how the ways in which a society's productive forces and relations (its "base", if you will) interacts with its other institutions like government, media, etc. (its "superstructure", if you will). But here we are. He's the lone Cassandra, his desperate cries falling upon deaf ears.
What is your point?

We are not isolates who just subsist by ourselves. The modern world is a massively complex interconnected and interdependent system and we rely on the glue of capitalism to ensure that everyone still looks out for themselves but makes it all work for the system.

Were the massive chip shortages causing a massive reduction in car availability and increase in prices "arbitrary"?

I worked in the Meta NY office for a while, and had a friend living down the block with anxiety, with a prescription to treat it.

Sometime during my tenure, her prescription started becoming unfillable; the pharmacies are only legally allowed to carry a limited quantity to combat substance abuse issues.

What was happening? Turns out the Meta office was staffing up rapidly and taking more floors in the building, and all of the engineers needing anti-anxiety medication started consuming all of the local supply.

This is a serious problem that we do not take seriously. Broadly speaking, startups in particular are aggressive and there's still an air of machismo and bro culture (from which Meta was born) that prevents caring for one another in this way.
Not just MPI over a network. We can compress floats, send them over NVLink or PCIe to another GPU in the same host, and decompress and it can be faster than sending data raw between GPUs, that's the premise behind dietgpu even (it's cheap compression, not a great compression ratio, like 0.6-0.9x of original size, but it's extremely fast, 100s of GB/s throughput, with the idea that you're trying to race something that is similarly as fast. General floating point data could be quite incompressible or highly compressible, it really just depends upon what is being passed around).

The interconnects are improving at a slower rate in general than compute on the CPU/GPU is and it can be exploited.
