> A city with a park nearby where your kids will actually meet other kids to play with?

Have you been to San Francisco? Addicts and homeless take over all parks. While I emphatize with their difficult situation, I don't want my child exposed to that.

> "Kids don't need a big yard to play, they need other kids" - and living in a denser area provides more kids.

Out here in suburbs,lots of kids (since most families with kids move to the suburbs) and many parks and none of the problems of a dense city.

As a 20-something I want(ed) to live in a dense city for the parties & people & bars. As a parent of a child, I want to be as far as possible from a dense city.

I wonder if there are plans to offer a "headless" mode where call-status is streamed to an FD instead of using a TUI. I'd love to be able to compose/wrap this tool outside of a terminal emulator.

I've been idly hacking on something quite similar but using QUIC instead. One of the downsides with QUIC of course is that it assumes TLS by default which makes it inefficient for use on encrypted transports (like wireguard, zerotier, tailscale, or yggdrassil.) I'll definitely give this a go as I'm a big fan of NNCP, another project by the author.
So don't leave us hanging ...
You might be right... Honestly this is the first place where we received such comments. Definitely our mistake.

Although, I think it's worth pointing out that Cakebrew hasn't been actively maintained in 3 years and has never supported Casks. Cork on the other hand is actively developed and supports Casks, but we think the interface and user experience are not the best. For what we've seen so far Brewer X mostly appeals someone who can't get along with poorly designed UIs just to use a free tool.
He thinks about those types of things and are acting on it (which is the key point in my opinion) because he is someone who thinks about those types of things.

I think thats a very good attitude.
It's quite common in folk music to use clever metaphors to cloak a song's true meaning. For example, the traditional English folk tune "John Barleycorn" looks like a murder ballad at first sight, but is in fact describing the harvest of barley and it's many uses (especially alcoholic!):

Edit: Learnt now that it's the most-used oil in Indonesia, as Indonesia is also the largest producer of Palm Oil (64% of global production in 2020). So they likely use it locally because it's available in abundance there...

In 2020, Indonesia and Malaysia accounted for ~84% of all the Palm oil production in the world [1]

> Density seems to always make an area more expensive. What are the two densest cities in the US? Which are the two most expensive cities in the US?

The causation goes the other way. When an area has a lot of housing demand, that's where they put the tall buildings. Nobody is going to build a skyscraper in the middle of a corn field.

But in order for the density to keep up with demand, you can't suppress new construction. That's what causes prices to be high:

I mean you need to have global high scores, right..

In my one test-run it didn't remember my previous score in the start screen as the "best score".

My favorite typing speed game remains typespeed, which can be found from e.g. Debian and Ubuntu. It is a clone of an older Zorlim's Typespeed (ztspeed) for DOS. It combines typing with a stressful ever-increasing pace of more words appearing in the screen and you need to not just type the words but also select which words are the best to enter, because they disappear from the screen eventually, moving you a bit forward to the end of the game. DOS vocabulary is the easiest (as it has short commands).

I still would argue that method of teaching is perfectly fine.

You cannot simply explain to someone complex stuff - best way is to let people grind through to build their own understanding.

Parent poster wrote that "it’s useful for determining the similarity of two vectors" - now I would ask why do I need to determine similarity of two vectors as it does not mean much to me - if I would be grinding through math problems I would most likely find out why, but there is no way I could understand and retain it when someone would just tell me.
Thank you. The name vaguely rings a bell but certainly not someone I know much about.

The natural follow-up question -although probably hard to answer - is whether the existing philosophy faculty includes others like Midgley who have a positive view of Lewis, to the extent that it would influence this decision.

the fun is no longer the game in an anarchy server. It's in beating other play's strategies - which actually makes it quite close to a real war in the physical world.

Thank you. As I said in another comment, we know this is not a "painkiller" app, at least right now. We just wanted to create something nice to use. Everyone who's already happy with using brew in the terminal should not even try Brewer X. The app is for people who sometime prefers to have a good UI in front of them.

Of course, our hope for the future is to add enough new and cool features that brew could never offer that the app might be interesting also for everyone else. Till then keep using the terminal ;)
It's a great book, and one my father recommended to me to get me through the concepts when I was having trouble with the standardised teaching of the day.

It comes down to Leibnitz Vs Newton, and the world has standardised on the notation of one (I forget which). However the notation is a destination when learning it all, and the foundational ideas behind calculus were best explained taking ideas from both of them.

That's what this book does. It takes you through with every simple jumps in logic allowing you to discover calculus yourself and you therefore have the foundations to reason about it yourself. You don't just have to learn the final answers by rote.

I’m not familiar with the minutiae of the current rules, but I know that the penalties around not screening for sanctioned entities are now quite severe. The funny bit, is that as soon as you SEE a hit against a sanctions list, the clock starts ticking, so you don’t want to check too often, to make sure you have enough analysts around to actually analyse the results. As with all things, there’s a balance to be struck.
RDSA: An intelligent tool for data science assignments
After 20 years dealing with calculus in school, professional career and spare time there is always joy and inevitably a smile when I see writings like this. The feeling is that the intuition that took me years to build it is a matter of minutes when properly developed.

Things like:

> Then (dx)^2 will mean a little bit of a little bit of x;

is one of the pillars for one of my last struggles that has taken tens of my hours just to have a basic understanding of stochastic calculus and why this actually matters in this specific case.

When I see things like this makes me think that humanity is progressing as new generations having access to this information will make them learn faster. Thanks :)

I agree, distinguishing between the importance of things is helpful.

But changing “planet” to not include Pluto just created unending inconsistency.

There is nothing that screamed “not planet” about Pluto until some scientists preconceptions and emotional investment about the numbers of planets got challenged.

People now have to learn by rote that Pluto is not a planet. Because “scientists say so”, not because they are actually becoming sensitive to debris fields.

The link between orbital debris and planetary size isn’t even going to hold with future discoveries. So the new restrictive regular language-unfriendly definition isn’t even going to be stable.

Ridiculous.
> I think that strips away way too much. What you describe is “counting words”. It produces 50,000-dimensional vectors (most of them zero for the vast majority of texts) for each text, so it’s not a proper embedding.

You can simplify this with a map, and only store non-zero values, but also you can be in-efficient: this is for learning. You can choose to store more valuable information than just word count. You can store any "feature" you want - various tags on a post, cohort topics for advertising, bucketed time stamps, etc.

For learning just storing word count gives you the mechanics you need of understanding vectors without actually involving neural networks and weights.

> I also doubt your claim “and the results aren't totally terrible”.

> In most texts, the dimensions with highest values will be for very common words such as “a”, “be”, etc

(1) the comment suggested filtering out these words, and
(2) the results aren't terrible. This is literally the first assignment in Stanfords AI class [1], and the results aren't terrible.

> A slightly better simple view of how embeddings can work in search is by using principal component analysis. If you take a corpus, compute TF-IDF vectors (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tf–idf) for all texts in it, then compute the n ≪ 50,000 top principal components of the set of vectors and then project each of your 50,000-dimensional vectors on those n vectors, you’ve done the dimension reduction and still, hopefully, are keeping similar texts close together and distinct texts far apart from each other.

Wow that seems a lot more complicated for something that was supposed to be a learning exercise.

You can think of the Storage product as an upload server that sits in front of S3.

Generally, you would want to place an upload server to accept uploads from your customers, that is because you want to do some sort of file validation, access control or anything else once the file is uploaded. The nice thing is that we run Storage within the same AWS network, so the upload latency is as small as it can be.

In terms of serving files, we provide a CDN out-of-the-box for any files that you upload to Storage, minimising latencies geographically
Maybe the books assume that the geometrical interpretations of the dot product are already known by the reader? I think they (both the projection interpretation and relation to angle between vectors) were taught in high school at the latest. There's also a lot of interpretations and uses for the dot product, some of which aren't necessarily that useful for classical mechanics.

But in general, literature using and/or teaching mathematics does tend to be too algebraic/mechanistic. Languge models can be a very good aide here!

hey, supabase engineer here; we didn’t check that out with files that small, but thanks for the idea, i will try it out

the only thing i can say related to the topic is that s3 multipart outperforms other methods for files larger than 50mb significantly, but tends to have similar or slightly slower speeds compared to s3 regular upload via supabase or simplest supabase storage upload for files with size about and less than 50mb.

s3-multipart is indeed the fastest way to upload file to supabase with speeds up to 100mb/s(115 even) for files>500mb. But for files about 5mb or less you are not going to need to change anything in your upload logic just for performance cause you won’t notice any difference probably

everything mentioned here is for upload only

Google: "We Have No Moat, And Neither Does OpenAI"
Agreed. Spain's old growth forests were denuded to build the Spanish Armada (or thereabouts) and you can go further back to catastrophic, anthropogenic, environmental shifts a few thousand years back in India, China and elsewhere in the world. Geology isn't focused on single year boundaries so maybe it's best to say that we entered the Anthropocene 6k-2k years ago (a 4k year range).
The problem isn't that resources like this didn't exist in the past (Calculus Made Easy was written in 1910 after all), problem is that they aren't wellknown - and that is unlikely to change even today.
I think one of the major "sins" of those interfaces (that is still pervasive today) is the inability to select text on most labels. Back then, Google did not exist, but being able to select and copy the text on e.g. an error message is something that has since become very useful, and that's still not afforded by GUIs.

Well, at least nowadays we can use ridiculous solutions such as normcap (taking a screenshot and OCRing it) to get such a basic feature.
