There is way too little obsession with them given how much of research isn't using/reusing this method

And specifically regarding cancer we also know a lot of very extensive drugs fail at reducing mortality

(specifically, as far as I remember, tumor reduction may have no connection to mortality for some cancers, so we don't really "know what happens" without factual data)
It really is just open loop resolutions. You can print really sharp tweezers in SLA, that's what they mean by that.

I bought an LG OLED because I could just buy it at costco.

I bought it for what it was not (ie vizio, samsung, sony, tcl) I don't hook it to the internet and I have disabled the nonsense anyway.

Only really (really) annoying thing is the soundbar MUST be wifi, and it creates its own access point.

Can you even get a Panasonic OLED tv?

(also, I have found that unless you have a very dark room, the benefits of oled are lost, especially with dark movie scenes)
Sometimes furigana can be used artistically,sure, but that's the exception to the rule and it's by and large a reading aide in the vast majority of cases, and the inclusion of it in novels aimed at adults indicates that without it the author expects a certain percentage of readers may struggle with how to read the Kanji otherwise.

Why does this tool in the language need to exist? The answer cannot be because Kanji make things easier to read, else you wouldn't need tools to help you read Kanji you at times otherwise wouldn't be able to.

If you come across a word you don't know as either a native speaker of English or Korean, you can at least sound it out, which ups the probability you can connect it with a word you've heard before, otherwise since you know how to type it out it's trivial to look it up in a dictionary. If you come across a word you don't know in Japanese as a native speaker and there's no furigana it's a guessing game. The meaning is slightly more obvious to you, so you might be able to guess, but if you can't guess and you care to know and the word is in print then looking it up becomes a bit more of a pain.

Korean didn't completely lose the mutual intelligibility aspect entirely since the underlying pronunciation of the words still remains and can be used to correctly guess the word in a lot of cases. Like 시간 and 時間 as an example, but there's many, many words I've been able to guess in Korean based off knowing Japanese. I was able to score 50% on TOPIK II reading exam after only having studied Korean for 4 months in large part because of this.
Having to listen to a 53 minute monologue is too much, especially with the expectation that I won't agree as the podcast is subjective and non-scientific. Could you perhaps provide at least a recap when referring to someone else?

Apparently, to take the processing off of the camera chip, the decision was to:

1. Not use a filesystem on the SD card;

2. Write RAW files only

This means software is needed to both transfer files, and to convert them into an image format.

Personally, I'd put that software on board, with extra dedicated hardware if necessary (it can be powered off of USB), and make the device appear as a massage storage device to a USB host.

IR is fundamentally flawed because it is one-way. It is like UDP across a modem.
Its from 2008, the case for global warming was much weaker then. Today it is very hard to argue against global warming being caused by Co2, we have 10% more CO2 in the atmosphere today than in 2008 and that is really noticeable.
> The latter example is better for everyone except for the people who would've been in the top 10% in the former example. The scale of the dollar amounts is just arbitrary, after all. It could be a flat income distribution where everyone makes $10,000, or $100,000, or $100,000,000, and it wouldn't make a bit of difference.

Again, as I wrote the comment I'm talking about real value not just dollar values. Everyone is worse off in the latter scenario.

> You haven't. You just experienced a loss in your material conditions.

No, I just doubled my material conditions. Again, it seems you're just not able to comprehend the notion that material conditions are not zero-sum. The fact that other people gained more does not mean o lost.

Think of this in more concrete terms: I have a 2,000 square foot house and one car. A genie offers me the ability to get a 4,000 sq ft house and a second car, but everyone else gets a 20,000 sq foot mansion and 9 cars. I may become less wealthy relative to everyone else, but I'm still better off than I was initially.

It seems like it's just impossible for you to convince of a scenario where society can collectively experience increases in living conditions. The only way you're able to think about value is in relative terms, not in terms absolute increases. It's pretty a sad, and unfortunately common train of thought.

I've always learned that there are sound components and meaning components, radicals are just an afterthought to make dictionairies work.

I don't think we need to look too much about what ancient scholars thought about characters, they were not around when the characters were created, were not trained to do science and didn't know as much about the evolution of languages as us.
The profusion of jaded nerds, although saddening at times, seems to be pushing science forward. I have a feeling that a prolonged sense of "Awe" can hinder progression at times, and the lack of it is usually a sign of the adaptability of a group (how quick new developments are normalized?)

This is because this is how you've trained your brain to process Japanese.

Korean includes white space for this reason, and since everyone gets used to reading it with no Hanja, they don't find it awkward.

So, it's perfectly possible to ditch Kanji and add spaces and have a way more accessible language.
Since the 70s our society gradually started putting more interest in producing useless things "for profit" or providing inane services instead of actually improving quality of life.

During the winter, I once lost control of my car as I was attempting to brake at a stop sign. My car ended up “stuck” in a plume of snow a couple meters away from the pole. No accident luckily.

I kept turning my steering wheel with my foot on the pedal to try and accelerate my way out but nothing worked. Suddenly, an old guy pulled up behind me in this massive truck and came to the window to ask if I needed help.

I explained to him that I tried everything and that we likely need to call a tow truck company (or use his truck even) to pull my car out.

He then responded, “Did you try reversing your car?”

Started hoping I did get into an accident at that point just to spare myself the embarrassment!
Classical Chinese has nounification... very heavily; vernacular, another thing, of course.
It would be helpful if the author described the change they made rather than linking off to a patch. It's the "main content" so to speak and I think not all of it is self explanatory.
The importance of German as a scientific language was even greater before WWI than claimed in that BBC article.

While the BBC article estimates that of the scientific literature of the 19th century and of the pre-WWI 20th century a third was published in French, a third in English and a third in German, I believe that an estimate much closer to reality would be a quarter in French, a quarter in English and a half in German.
> to minimize the amount of computation

IMO backprop is the most trivial implementation of differentiation in neural networks. Do you know an easier way to compute gradients with larger overhead? If so, please share it.
We need to account for the odd similarity of experience across users, which leads to two most probable explanations. First, the brain generates the experience, and the patterns are a consequence of structural similarities across human brains. Second, these entities actually exist somehow and we can’t yet observe them with our modern instruments. I certainly think that the first is more likely, but I think we need to do more work to reduce the probability of the second, likely by recording the brain activity similarities we would expect to see if it were a generated experience or by finding a number of individuals who don’t have the same experiences. We can also have people undergo extended trips, as is being tested currently, and see if the characteristics of the entities or the world indicate a generated experience. My only point was that, since this is a matter that depends entirely upon subjective conscious experience, a phenomenon we lack tools to measure and understand somewhat poorly, and since this substance is majorly understudied, it isn’t smart to simply assume that the first explanation is the correct one.
Ok, thanks. I was wondering because last year I spent a few hours poring through Redis documentation, trying to figure out how to get access to read-only snapshots...
If you look at old Japanese video games before the hardware could do Kanji, they used spaces to separate words. But when the game was capable of Kanji, the spaces went away.
How often do you have more than 4/8 processes being CPU/memory bound at the same time?

As far as power, using simpler cores helps a significant amount too.

Quickstarts and Slowstarts
What a great article. Very easy to follow. The best part was that instead of attacking the messenger and denying any problem, Cox seem to have acted like the very model of responsible security response in this kind of situation. I'd love to read a follow up on what the bug was that intermittently permitted unauthorised access to the APIs. It's the kind of error that could easily be missed by superficial testing or depending on the reason behind the bug, perhaps not even experienced in the test environment.
That's good. I think I heard that too. I'm guessing the founder sold it off long ago.
Clearly those philosophers never studied electromagnetism.

I look forward to the decline in interest in generative ML. There is a screaming need for secure online services to enable democracies to face off the threat from authoritarian regimes. To do this we need hardware that enables actors as in actor model with truly private state, not sandboxed where there is an external entity that can observe its state. Today pretty much all designs has a perverse von Neumann architecture where state is shared across different compute devices like network controllers and management engines. And the software stack is more of the same sandboxing. Apple includes a Secure Enclave on its SoC where you may only communicate with it by sending messages like a proper actor, but why aren’t servers made entirely of secure enclaves? If the memory of each enclave was private by design in hardware it shouldn’t be necessary to encrypt it.
For us, the application process was a big help in getting focus and better defining what we propose to build. And not getting in has led us to find some other, potentially much better programs which we will apply to. We don’t regret the effort at all.

My only complaint is that keeping everyone hanging on until May 29, ready to clear our plates in June, and then giving absolutely zero feedback for the rejection, was the sort of blatantly self-interested and founder-unfriendly move that, I suppose, it’s good to remember happens a lot in VC Land.
I would think he knew better than to have an executive PR faux pas many years ago.

After almost as many years of having his cost of content being close to zero and it being so deeply ingrained in how things developed, this would be the result of a more focused effort and the outcome has been huge not just from his own point of view.

After a while it would be hard for the pride in that kind of thing not to show through.

Photo resolution is higher than a fax resolution, and one can increase the font size / decrease screen resolution.

Plus, they can still apply the same approach they used for fax.

That doesn’t make them American any more than Amazon is Japanese because they have a Japanese division.

The companies I listed are Asian businesses that make hardware in Asian regions for Asian consumers and also have a massive presence in the west too.

I could also list multiple Asian companies that don’t have a large presence in the US but then you wouldnt have heard of them so what would the point of that be?

Some of the comments in this thread smack of “I’ve never needed to use anything outside of America so I just assume English-speaking businesses are the only thriving industries”.
Yeah, I am just defending the person not the study. It is possible other parts of it are reasonable, I haven't read it, just saying that arguing against such things in 2008 didn't mean you were an insane person, but today it does, so that doesn't discredit everything he says like it would if you hear someone argue that today.
I can't really refute this but I suspect based on the body of research on this study, the drop must be a lot more than just sleep deprivation. There are plenty of men who work long hours and have poor sleep but I don't believe the drop in T is as remarkable as that post partum

How about the science behind how a baby's crying stimulates milk production.
Then you might be even more surprised to hear the Latin alphabet is the official way to write Chinese phonetically (in mainland China), and is used to write on computers and phones. It's called pinyin.
> But computational complexity is a separate concern from level of abstraction.

It really depends. Abstractions can and often do to otherwise avoidable copies. It's pointless to argue about computational complexity of an algorithm if you don't even notice that an abstraction you're using is adding a performance penalty in the form of running a linear-time algorithm in the hot path, and is even preventing the runtime from optimizing away problematic code.

It could make a big difference when you only had one or two cores.

Show HN: I created a website to learn foreign words from context
Hey everyone,

I created the platform because my Polish is weak. I learn tons of rules and then forget, learn tons of words, and then forget. I thought, ENOUGH! I decided to tackle the problem I used to do - apply my technical side: www.word-vault.com

So, instead of learning words' raw translation, I learn them from usage examples.
If I need to practice grammar, I create a grammar desk with exercises to practice.
Therefore, spaced repetition + AI word meanings with examples work awesome.

It is completely free.

My family always uses it when talking about the dog going caca. It used to confuse me when I was a kid but we’d say shishi for pee. Family is mixed so it’s not really pidgeon but more just mixed. A Korean friend heard me say shishi once and said they say the same in Korean, which was surprising to learn but like caca it’s probably a fairly universal word

Don’t have any Korean or French heritage myself
I would love to play with pis and make virtual usb devices, like a webcam.

pikvm is an interesting project.

It will hook to a PC, and the USB connection can not only pretend to be a keyboard and mouse, but it can be a USB drive that you can boot the system with. Pretty interesting for installs.
To be fair, things like ‘loblolly’ just don’t really need an exact definition to know that it’s insulting.
Yes, that was my point: they have different standards, but it's in general hard to say which one is 'stricter' or 'better', if that applies at all.

The person I spoke to didn't say anything about needing my SSN, or bank account number, or any sort of "advance-fee". "Nigerians" don't usually offer to win contracts, show their faces on the webcam, chat with you for hours, have you stand in for an interview, complete work, and THEN ask for 50% payment after it's all done.

I don't think it's this. Not even close.
If you mark a derivation as impure with __impure=true;

you can access the internet.

I agree sometimes is a pain tho.

But most of the time, If you need internet access, if you can specify the "hash" of the result file, anything that you do to achieve that file can have internet access.

One point I haven't seen mentioned yet is that a11y provides obvious business value in that it forces devs to write better and more testable code. I first noticed this when using react-testing-library [1], when refactoring my code to be more easily testable became equivalent to adding a11y features.

Example from a project I worked on: I needed to test that when a button is clicked that the app showed a spinner when loading and then the content when the API call completed successfully. The spinner component was just an SVG with no obvious way to select it without adding a test-id, so instead I refactored the app to use an aria-busy attribute [2] in the container where the content is loading. The test then becomes something like this:

test('shows spinner while loading and content after API call', async () => {
render(<Example />);

userEvent.click(screen.getByRole('button', { name: /load content/i }));

expect(screen.getByRole('main')).toHaveAttribute('aria-busy', 'true');

await waitFor(() => {
expect(screen.getByRole('main')).toHaveAttribute('aria-busy', 'false');
expect(screen.getByText(/content loaded/i)).toBeInTheDocument();
});
});

> This is super hilarious for code paths that try and hide network hits, such that you don't see that that loop is doing a network call per iteration.

True story: once I worked on a C++ project with a very ambitious junior developer who liked to portray himself as the local authority in performance and code quality. That junior developer once blocked a PR alleging performance problems because a function call was passing strings by value instead of moving them. Except that function call was only called once per run, and its responsibility was to make 1+n calls to a REST service.

Whenever anyone complains about performance, ask for benchmarks. Odds are, even if they are technically right they are still wrong.
I agree that regulatory compliance and industries around that can often be theater and it creates regulatory barriers that inhibit startups and competition generally but there must be some method of oversight to ensure that people can trust a system or company without needing to see the internals. For example, we trust our food is healthy because the firm that made it is authorized to do so by the FDA as they comply with the rules established by those regulators. Obviously there are flaws, loopholes, etc, and obviously software is different than health but to an extent we want some guarantees from an externally trusted actor. What is needed in the current SOC2 world that might solve some of the issues you outlined without getting rid of it, or the idea of it, entirely?
