This is not unique. Hardware for instance. You can easily exceed 10-100 iteration cycles on a single part.

Also in general, We are currently in a time of comparatively low iteration. Most companies don't have the tolerance for it anymore and choose cheap one-shot execution at stupid risk, because of FOMO.

Iteration cycles are a function of your inputs; creative potential, vision, energy, runway.

Of course it's possible to use this sort of therapy to prevent disease, by knocking out single genes associated with the development of disease.

It's just as possible to silence single genes that, when silenced, may elicit substantial positive effects in healthy adults. Part of George Church's list, by no means comprehensive, is:

MSTN -/- Lean muscle growth

SCN9A -/- Insensitivity to pain

ABCC11 -/- Low Odor production

CCR5, FUT2 -/- Virus resistance

PCSK9 -/- Low coronary disease

SLC30A8 -/+ Low T2 Diabetes

There are many others. Knocking out ACTN3, for instance, might remodel skeletal muscle for better endurance performance, and certain athletes don't express the gene.
The email is unfortunately lacking in some details. Does this include all messages sent through Twilio or just in the country of this provider?

And why is this carrier storing messages on an S3 bucket? I don't see why they should store messages at all after the message has been processed, storing metadata should be sufficient for their records. It would be definitively be problematic according to GDPR, if IdentifyMobile is a Briths company then similar privacy laws should be in place?
If it gets that bad, I’ll simply not respond to anything outside of my circle of friends and family. That is 95% of the communications I need.

You're right that you can't override __add__ for numbers, but the bytecode doesn't say this. The bytecode isn't specialized to numbers. It will call the __add__ operation on whatever object you give it. The interpreter will probably have a fast path in its implementation of the BINARY_OP instruction that checks for numbers. But that doesn't mean that the BINARY_OP instruction can only handle numbers.

Example:

>>> class foo(object):
... def __add__(x, y):
... print(f'"adding" {x} and {y} by returning {y}+1', x, y, y)
... return y + 1
...
>>> f = foo()
>>> f + 3
"adding" <__main__.foo object at 0x725f470c4e90> and 3 by returning 3+1 <__main__.foo object at 0x725f470c4e90> 3 3
4
>>> add_five(f)
"adding" <__main__.foo object at 0x725f470c4e90> and 5 by returning 5+1 <__main__.foo object at 0x725f470c4e90> 5 5

Yes, doping, blah blah we get it. But the logistics of TdF is insane. With a new city every day, things need to move fast and preparations start early. For instance Uno-X team has a small trailer with 800 kgs of ice they travel around with, after having trouble sourcing enough ice in the small villages they stay at.

Actually having your own chef source stuff is one way to avoid accidental doping scandals.

I've read the Velochef book and like the recipes there. One thing I've never appreciated before is how hard it is to actually get this amount of calories down.

Mathematics education seems to be really different depending on the country (I'm in Europe). I barely saw a proof (except maybe some geometry proofs) in any of my high school maths classes and had to learn what a mathematical proof is in university.

The exponential function arises from multiple sources:

- the solution of the ode you just stated.

- compound interest.

- The defining property of exponential functions is f(x+y)=f(x)f(y) with some normalization.

- Moving on the unit circle is given by an exponential function because rotation is a group, i.e. a^(i(x+y)). Now choose the basis a such that you move with unit speed.

- ...

The nice thing is that all of these very different motivations lead to the same thing.

The "has nothing to do with exponentiating e" I would strongly disagree with. It has everything to do with exponentiating and is exactly the only way exponentiation can work. So afterwards you can pretend you didn't know that and define exponentiation by using e. Same for matrix exponentials, semigroups etc.

Speaking personally, my life has improved dramatically since I started drinking a lot more water, usually around 100 oz/day, more as a habit, as I am not aware of being thirsty. But the water does impact for the better being tired, or foggy, or heavy, or any number of other undefinable subjective experience adjectives, which do not unconsciously map to drinking as a solution. So it is a conscious loop for me, and has been a great benefit.

I'm not sure I follow -- do they suggest running VS locally, and the work/project inside the container?

I've been doing this for years, it seems to me like the absolutely hands-down easiest way to keep projects encapsulated and easily shareable with coworkers.

Set up the env in a docker container, mount a volume to a local fs where all the sources live, ssh into the container if necessary, interact with app(s) within the container over http.

What's MS adding here, what am I missing? They streamline the process and integrate scripts with VS?

> For any single program, one of these two functions will correctly output whether it halts or not.

Saying "one of these functions is correct" is not a decision procedure. You actually need to decide which one of them is correct.

> This is why it's not very meaningful to talk about the decidability of particular Turing Machines

I disagree. There are particular Turing machines whose decidability is extremely meaningful. For example, there are specific Turing machines which encode mathematical problems of interest such as the Goldbach conjecture. Deciding whether they halt is equivalent to solving those mathematical problems, which is definitely meaningful.

I'm not aware of the automotive play until Tegra2 reached the end of its lifecycle as a Smartphone CPU. From what I know, Tegra had its inception as a CPU for portable electronics, in the era of ~2011 when Smartphone vendors sourced CPU's and Modems from different parties instead of having a single SoC including the Modem.

Tegra2 was going head-to-head with TI OMAP3 in ~2012 for the fastest Premium Smartphone Platform, Tegra2 powered the first DualCore Smartphone in the world.

At that time there were a few players on that market for CPU + Modem:

- Qualcomm APQ + Qualcomm MDM Modem

- TI OMAP + Infineon XMM Modem / Qualcomm MDM Modem

- nVidia Tegra + Infineon XMM / Qualcomm MDM Modem

- Samsung Exynos + Infineon XMM / Qualcomm MDM Modem

- Apple/Samsung custom + Infineon XMM / Qualcomm MDM Modem

In the end Qualcomm won against TI and nVidia by forging a path to merge APQ and MDM into their SD/SDM SoC-line and becoming "less economic" for Hardware manufacturers to have their Modems combined with other CPU's.
This is why I find e so fascinating, frustrating and puzzling.

The other constants fundamental to science, like the gravitational constant or the speed of light, can only be measured, not discovered from nothing. We aren't even sure how constant they actually are, there might be extremely tiny variations in either time or space that our instruments just can't measure yet. In theory, other universes could exist where these constants are "set" a little bit differently; whether we could live in such universes is another matter entirely.

E, on the other hand, comes from pure mathematics. As long as fractions, addition and exponentiation work the same way in another hypothetical universe, this strange E number is going to have the same strange value.

> but you can't do that when n is a fraction

Sure you can. You know what 2^n is and you want that 2^(1/3) 2^(1/3) 2^(1/3)= 2^1=1. That uniquely defines the exponential function on the rationals. For the real numbers you need some amount of continuity or measurability, but then it is also uniquely determined.

> but I think the usual way is to first define exp and log, and then say that a^b=exp(b*log(a)), which is kind of cheating because we have to define exp first!).

No, you don't just "say" that. You prove it. Big difference.

That's certainly one way, but you can also define exp via its power series (which is easily proven to be convergent everywhere). Then, all the properties of exp, as well as Euler's formula, are actual theorems, not just definitions.

Good comparison. Engineers who build cars and understand their intricacies oftentimes just work on one small thing at a time, even in teams. Like a team just working on breaks. The mechanics can piece the stuff together and keep it working in a real world setting. But nowadays a self-declared "AI Expert" in that metaphor might be just some person who knows how to drive a car.
my initial reaction: wait who cares about the temperature forecast? it seems like the easier part and the not particularly-important part.

that seems like flimsy justification. I'd love to see the lead plot with precipitation.

All these do things subtly differently in ways they think is the correct way. Maybe one will come on top or maybe something else comes along and integrates lessons from both and that eventually wins and all meintence moves there eventually.

Whether a^b=exp(b*log(a)) is a definition or a proof really depends on how exactly you define certain terms (e.g. exp). What's certainly a theorem that requires a proof is that the definition of a^b (for irrational b) via limits of rational exponents and the one via exp are equivalent.

JetBrains has an official DevContainer extension for a while now[0], though I can't vouch how well it works.

I've seen devcontainers used in various projects, and how it further leads to a bigger divide between dev and ops.
