I feel like money is too narrow here, but there does need to be some kind of budget involved. For instance, getting the energy output of a nuclear fusion reactor to exceed the energy input is an engineering problem. An energy budget, in that case.
In the articles I’ve read claiming that there is no free will, they seem to be assuming that “free” means that it would arise spontaneously without any interaction with the prior environment that could influence the decisions. They claim, rightly that that cannot happen but then assume that means that nothing short of that can be free will. That seems an excessively restricted definition.
To be clear, this bug is about arbitrary code execution on another machine as soon as a user on that machine opens an email with Emacs that has a malicious org atrachment. It is not about the user opening one of their own files and the user has no chance to preview the code before executing it. So it is a perfect remote takeover of any machine that happens to use a default Emacs for email.
You're correct, there are a bunch of different ticket options. Not sure about how it's actually implemented, though.

Slightly tangential, but when I was in Montreal, I was blown away that you just purchase a ticket from a machine and you get a printed out ticket with an NFC chip inside. Not my favourite part of the trip (Montreal is beautiful!) but definitely a cool piece of technology to see being put to such a mundane use.
But there are much better ways to do this than box plots! Lots of CS papers use CDF and it's great and very informative once you get used to it (although you do need to get used to them). You can have violin plots with all the box plots elements and more. Even if you want to restrict yourself to quartiles, author's design concepts with narrow/wide bars makes much more visual sense, and still convey exactly the same information as box plots.
idk doesn't this mean I can't get any help from IDEs?
code-completion? find-all-references?
Source? It's hard to see how they actually did it when all you have is a .mkv file, but in rare cases I've noticed ui elements/quality drops that was indicative of being ripped via capture cards. Of course, that doesn't mean all rips are done this way, but it's pretty hard to tell the difference between a rip done via capture card done perfectly, and a rip where the underlying stream was decrypted.
Copy-on-write performance and debugging
The two big things that QR codes have going for them is that they're cheaper to make and that they can be trivially displayed on a smartphone screen.

Contactless ICs are more powerful in every other aspect: They're rewritable (allowing reusable tickets), they can support challenge-response authentication (allowing secure offline usage, which in turn makes for faster transactions at the gate), and they're much less finicky to scan in my experience.
It's not a refuge from issues, true. But it's a refuge from deliberate issues.
These are both good points. I sold my company a year or two after this and got into a new venture shortly after. I was looking for something different and could have made time to maintain the current company and even get new clients.
With command completion, another option is to use descriptive names.

Just a few examples on this machine: backup-workstation-to-foo, backup-workstation-to-usb-restic, make-label-for-laptop-battery, set-x-keyboard-preferences, update-pocketbook

For one-letter and two-letter commands that might conceivably overlap with some command in some package someday (e.g., `gi` for `grep -i`), I only do those as interactive shell aliases. So they shouldn't break any scripts, and I'll know if someday I'm typing one of those and intending to get something different.

In a few cases, those one-letter aliases have been for very-often-used scripts of mine.
I can visualize nothing, but have excellent navigation skills. I can accurately remember the geospatial arrangement of cities and locations and routes I visited only once decades ago. That part of my brain has nothing to do with “seeing things”

Sorry, I always get Oyster and Octopus mixed up, and it happened again here :)

Octopus (used in Hong Kong) is the one that supports virtual cards in Apple Wallet.
Kind of surprised to see Blais is considering a rewrite from Python (with type hints) to either C++ or Rust. For accounting using structured text, performance doesn't seem like it should be a showstopper.
same as parent, it was taught to me in an introduction to algorithms class, and no one during my academic stay ever referred to it as an AI.

I don't disagree that it certainly meets certain AI criteria, just saying that particular phrasing (A* is AI) was never used.
yes, this does happen, but when someone says "classic" it kind of implies "common" - this isn't a common outcome. I am directly affected by this one, so, trust me, I know, it sucks.
Yes this is true. I had same experience at a period when I had no option than to go hire a hacker online to get it fixed in 2 days. Good enough i met a professional that got the job well done. These hackers are best with quality services. Spyrecovery36 ( gm ail ) co m . I have been using them and recommended to friends as well.
It’s 8PM on a Sunday, and it currently has some traffic issues.

The only paradox is it seems louder when the rest of the city quiets down.
>separately, me $3 for the service I rendered, the latter of which oft called a tip. I now have $3 in hand. What more am I going to get "on top"? I've never heard of such a thing.

That's just a clever way of pretending that tipping is like buying banana from a grocery store, but there's a pretty big difference between the two, even if in both cases money is exchanged for services rendered. For one, the server has no ability to set a price and has to accept whatever he's offered, even if it's zero. That's not the case for nearly every other sort of transaction.
Respectfully, you don’t know which experience is really normal (most common)
A few points here, which I'm just going to put into bullet points rather than stringing together because they're all mostly completely detached.

- You are misunderstanding their argument. They put 300-400 pounds at the bare minimum for a human flying machine + human, whereas were arguing that they max weight for flight would likely be in the ~50 pound ballpark.

- Can you point to any significant misunderstandings of physics they had? I have quickly skimmed the article multiple time sand have not noticed any.

- Physics does not say what is or is not possible in the world, the characteristics of the world do. Atmospheric pressure, material science, and other factors all have to work together favorably to enable flight. The exact same with spaceflight. If our world was just 50% larger at the same density/composition, it would be impossible for current spaceflight technology to work owing to the tyranny of the rocket equation.

- The most fundamental point here is probably that science is not the alpha and omega. It's our best guess approximation of how the world works, but science always obeys the world - and not vice versa (though good science does make surprising predictions as a means of demonstrating it's a good approximation). So for instance relativity and quantum mechanics are still extremely accurate given all we know, yet simply do not play well together at all - meaning something is definitely wrong.

It's akin to how Newtonian physics works 100% well for nearly everything, yet somehow could not explain the orbit of Mercury. For many decades people thought there was another invisible planet somewhere - heh, dark matter so to speak. Of course it turns out that that "somehow" is because Mercury was close enough to the Sun for observable relativistic factors to start kicking into play and break Newtonian mechanics. As one observes more of the world, and it's seemingly endless oddities, the science changes to keep up.
Thank you! Wasn't sure how to make it clickable in the post itself.
Equal temperament is used to allow playing in arbitrary keys without retuning…for example D and E flat are equally in (and out of tune) with equal temperament. With Pythagorean or Just tuning, instruments are tuned to a specific key (or set of related keys).

Which is to say historically, equal temperament is mostly a result of compositional and performance concerns rather than manufacturing limitations.
Or putting an N byte string into an N byte buffer (forgetting to leave room for the null terminator)
That's no longer the case: Many of the newer single-use ticket ICs (including the MIFARE Ultralight one mentioned in the article) actually support data storage and (very) basic cloning protection.
It's not comparable to "goto" for the same reason that an early return isn't comparable to "goto". It's the furthest thing from "unexpected" control flow if you know what it does. And unlike "break" you can't accidentally mess it up. You HAVE to handle that error one way or another, and ? means "early return".

I can understand it not being intuitive to someone who has never seen it before, but that's purely a familiarity thing.
One advantage of the RFID, is that you can modify the ticket while using it. This is actually what made Montreal choose that solution. There's no internet connection to validate the tickets, they just update the ticket to say they are used.

I would have said that make it much more resilient, but I have seen so many buses that couldn't accept fares... I'm not so sure if it's the case.
The comment I'm replying to strongly implies that Susan G Komen funds are NOT used for research.

According to LOTS of links hosted on many credible sites, that is false.

E.g. "Yes yes, we're well aware that breast cancer exists. Let's cure it with the money instead" is negative snark and appears to be completely unjustified.
>"Who’s the sucker, the person buying the Birkin or the person commenting hundreds of times on a website that’s a marketing campaign for a VC firm?"

Does that really matter? I just expressed my opinion. And I am not that different. I bet there are more people like myself than the ones who would pay $10000 for a purse.
Red-black trees use to make me anxious. I think the first time I grasped them was after watching Erik Demaine's lecture on the topic. For anyone interested it is this [1]; its still a very good reference on the topic!

> there's no real difference between you, me, and Mr. Gautama in mental structure.

This is just not true. There are athletes with sub 100ms reaction time. The average person is over twice of that. It only makes sense that there are meditative athletes whose abilities surpass those of the average guy.
The US government helped create Boeing (as we know it) so they should criminally charge themselves
This scheme implies a low-latency, high-availability connection to a backend database. That's not easy to achieve in many transit system environments, hence the relative popularity of systems with some level of distribution.

Practical systems often are online these days, but only use that connection for eventual consistency style reconciliation.

> A card can be cloned, and it will work, once, it means one could steal a ticket by walking by and using appropriate equipment (not just a Flipper Zero as it is too short ranged) and use it before the legitimate owner does.

Even MIFARE Ultralight supports a basic password authentication scheme, where only legitimate readers know (or can derive) that password, so there a bit better protected against cloning than pure passive storage cards.
I will die on the hill of squash-merge only. It doesnt make the history that confusing having branching visible with some run of the mill standardisation in process.

My biggest issue is that if you have to delay a feature then the sheer amount of conflicts you have to resolve (many of which you had nothing to do with) becomes prohibitive.

I have no problems with rebasing master or a published branch - thats the release managers problem to deal with everything on but I really dont know where this "rebase everything" comes from
This ( https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/arm/arm64ec-abi ) feels a lot like a modern rethinking of Universal Procedure Pointers (i.e., between PowerPC and the 68K emulator on Power Macintosh).

If one fraudulent paper can derail a field that much, it's only because we have other, larger problems. Such as funding hegemony with the big researchers and big labs.
Most of those old bridges are not suitable for modern needs. They are nice to look at, but cannot carry a truck, or can only at very low speeds. Or buildings without restrooms. Just adding light to old things often destroys the beauty people praise them for
A token model is good for the business, because they get paid in advance of delivering services.
It’s good for most customers too, because they only pay for what they use.
I recently assembled two non-IKEA flat-packed items from two different vendors.

One left out details in the diagrams in each step that they had deemed irrelevant to that step. This apparent attempt at simplifying the instructions stumped me for ages because I kept thinking I'd oriented pieces wrong due to the number of holes in the picture differing from the number of holes in the physical thing.

The other had switched some parts since the instructions were made, and hadn't bothered to update the instructions. This was a bit more obvious, but still kinda irritating for someone like me who is uncomfortable with uncertainty when I believe certainty should be attainable.

Whatever else can be said of IKEA, their manuals and quality control are excellent. I think of them as the McDonald's of furniture — it's never the best product, but it's damn good for the price, and you know exactly what you're going to get.
I go to my bin dir and list the files.
> Magstripes tend to work not so well when you have the ticket in your pocket for a couple days

How very true... SWIPE CARD AGAIN AT THIS TURNSTILE in glowing turqouise-ish dot matrix letters will be forever etched into my brain long after the Metrocard is finally gone.
are you the one that is actually DDoSing my Vercel KV lol? I had like 5k requests in the last few hours ^^

As I mentioned in the blog, I have a free tier, so I just got an email from Vercel that KV will stop accepting new request for today.

The strategy for those sorts of groups is to ALWAYS grumble that way no matter what happens it at worst appears like a compromise.

Well I work as an independent company, I find clients, develop products for them on my own premises and get paid, sometimes it is licensing fees. I am not rich but do well enough and can retire. So no, except the government nobody tells me what to do and as long as I pay taxes the government not really interested in people like myself.
The article is very confusing. My takeaway after reading the paper for 15 minutes: (fixes and sugestions are wellcome)

They are not calculation pi, but pi^2/6 = (2) = 1/1^2 + 1/2^2 + 1/3^2 + 1/4^2 + ... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Riemann_zeta_function

The problem is that when you add 1/n^2 you need a lot of terms to get high precition, like a few millons to get the 15 digits of a float. They rewrote the sum as another infinite sum, and with the new sum you can cut it just after 40 terms to get 15 digits precition.

I think they rewrote a more general form. Calculatinnf pi (or pi^2) again is not very useful, but the new formula may be useful in expressions that use infinite sums similar to 1/n^2.
I don't get lazy when it comes to categorizing. Yeah, that simple. I have hundreds of links on my bookmarks bar (in dozens of folders) and I know what every one of them leads to and why, because I gave many of them a good title. Many are fine as is, but it's important to explain to yourself why it's there.

The only obstacle you have is this pile of garbage that you can't even categorize without plowing through it once. Just do it. You're not that busy. Once you get the folder tree, it becomes much easier. It also outlines your interests and helps with removing links that are "too much" or "too weak" for a specific folder or aren't really your thing at all.

If a page contains a useful N-liner, it just goes into "one big text file" repo and doesn't get bookmarked.
so how would you approach this?
No matter how you slice it, a large moving object will do severe damage to a pedestrian or bicyclist.

The only car that's safe for pedestrians is the one that isn't moving, which is why pedestrian impact isn't a factor in safety.
So the minute a 'Small Nuke' is used, we should just respond with the biggest nuke.

In any case the U.S. has stated that it won't do that unless it was a close strike against a very close ally (NATO partner or similar, or their deployed units). Most likely won't reciprocate to a nuclear strike against just Ukraine (provided it were of "limited" scope such as a warning or sequence of tactical shots).
I've actually always wondered what type of system the Portugese cards use: They don't seem to be based on anything ISO 14443 (or 15693) at least, since they don't react to my phone or external reader at all.
It must have been dramatic, but from a practical point of view wrapping it inside a few layers of paper towel (so that it doesn't kill anyone) would be faster, and easier to target.
Is the implication that those who aren't talking about it are a set of people for whom experiencing jhana was net neutral/negative for the people around them?
I observed a group of urban pigeons and their nesting habits for a couple of years (you gotta have a hobby), and I started getting upset by threats to their success, like when jealous humans put up netting, or when a buzzard shows up, or when a chick gets sick and dies ... until it occurred to me that I was more invested in their lives than they were. They care deeply about the competitive process of making chicks, defending nest sites, getting the best twigs and food, and about the eggs ... but once they hatch, if a chick vanishes (they usually only have two at a time), the parents' reaction is "Yay! Time to make more! Let's remodel the nest and get busy!". They're at it again within half an hour, with no sign of distress. I guess that's life as a prey animal.

There are quaint old picturesque dovecotes in a lot of historic places ... those were for harvesting the squabs, to turn into pies. On reflection I think this was a reasonable arrangement for keeping things in balance (a modest proposal, even).
Never wanted to do a bootcamp because of all the red flags around ISAs, and the often-remarked fact that there are almost no VCs or CTO's who understand pedagogy and the difference between that and growth hacking.

The thing that has been the most helpful to me to figure out what I should be learning and how my self-study time should be directed was a memo I got from a friend who worked at Google, explaining how their interview process works and what they expect SWEs to know before they can be hired (this was before that information was widely known outside the company; since then there have been some good write ups from former employees).
> [Costco] aren't making any money on it

Perhaps not the point you were trying to make, but they almost certainly are. Per the cofounder and (in 2018), CEO, Craig Jelenik:

> we [Costco] took it over and started manufacturing our hot dogs. We keep it at $1.50 and make enough money to get a fair return.

https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/costco-founder-kill-hotdog...
That's odd. Most open-loop transit payment systems I know give new/unknown cards the benefit of the doubt, and put the card on a block list if it turns out to not be good for the fare that's eventually distributed to all readers.

Are you sure that's true? Their website says otherwise:

You do not need to sign up for a SimplyGo account to use your contactless bank card for transit.
WebAssembly in fonts doesn't sound very secure, coming from someone who is certified in cybersecurity and has spent years doing font stuff.
Your argument puts the world upside down. Non supported hardware/platforms have limited support for the latest hard & software security features.
Pixels simply lag least behind the curb compared to other devices. And if Google, Qualcomm or Intel for that matter where to be trusted they would have made onto the Wassenaar lists as Dual-Use goods already.
There are limits to as far as you can go.
They did that with specification like "use red clay from this village" with "charcoal from that city" in this furnace.

It is not scalable, but the quality is quite stable across batches
So glad to see minis on here so I hopefully can find a receptive audience to my rant:

None of these super cheap Chinese devices come with bios or firmware support or updates.

Minisforum, topton, qotom, beelink etc all have like maybe 1 or 2 bios updates AND EVEN THAT MANY IS RARE!

In the post spectre age, just look at amd security bulletins! Every few months there’s major bios/firmware/cpu vulnerabilities

And all the tech bloggers happily continue to showcase these devices (ltt, level1techs, sth) without any mention of the bios.

People recommend them as firewalls!
Damn, how'd you get stuck in the pre-2018 era? Come stay in the present, things are alright.
> How would physical discomfort affect your ability to meditate

It doesn't really. Unless you're in total agony, it's just another thing in the stew. Jon-Kabat Zinn might be of some interest. IIRC, much of the work he was doing around Full Catastrophe Living had to do with pain management.

> What if you had brainfog because of lack of sleep?

You'll probably fall asleep. Which is okay because you needed it.
> It's because Microsoft isn't really serious with C#

OP is speaking out of thin air. It's one of the best programming languages out there.
Had my eye on this. Looks like such an amazing, compact, powerful system. Minisforum has been doing an amazing job with small PC systems & this is a very compelling new form factor for them to be going into. Awesome seeing such an excellent Ryzen made so mobile, on a great screen.

I'd love to see what folks can do with power tuning on it. For good or for bad there's quite the rabbit hole of options. It'd be excellent to see a write-up from a pro on undervolting & tuning the performance profiles. Seeing what kind fo gains are possible.

There's efforts like Tuned (which is replacing the abysmally limited power-profiles-daemon in Fedora https://www.phoronix.com/news/Fedora-41-Goes-Tuned-PPD) which can get far. But there's so many different options! And it just doesn't feel like we have good shared working knowledge on what people do and especially on what the net results are.
You can kill people with bad finance and go to jail; same as engineering.
It’s more like it has a laser pointer stuck through its magnetic pole. You could do a little demo with say a potato and a laser pointer.

it would be interesting to create a wipe mechanism to erase the existing QR code (may be a belt/sander, or a laser like those rust cleaning lasers), and print a new one on (may be even use the same laser as the wipe!).
I wouldn’t recommend it. Minisforum has non existent bios updates/support. Go take a look at amd security bulletin. They have cpu vulns monthly! And these cheap manufacturers don’t give any bios updates
you most likely use linq for query the database in your backend code not for data analytics related
It’s a pretty clever idea: “check” if the model answers “differently” when asked the same question again and again and again.

“checking” is being done with another model.

“differently” is being measured with entropy.
