The Sphere is primarily for concerts. I refer to the movie currently running as their matinee show. Sure, it brings in some revenue but it isn't why they built the thing.

I think the choice of the movie was poor. People don't go to the Strip to see some dystopia thing. MSG needed to pick something actually entertaining.

At least they did not stick with the original name of "MSG Sphere" for the venue.

What you think the book is, and what it actually is, are very different.

It is not about stereotypes for judging someone from another culture. It is about how to think about other cultures so that we won't fail in stereotypical ways when we have to function in those cultures. And how to understand and resolve common conflicts that happen between businesses from different cultures.
The lack of heap allocations is great! Thanks for the pointers.
Yes, but how is this relevant. That is also not calculated based on a pay formula. It's reported.

then you should check this amazing sailor named Yann Quenet who built his own 4m sailboat [1] (yes 4m is crazy) on which he did a circumnavigation and once he came back worked at improving his little boat and just left 8 days ago for another circumnavigation.

That seems more or less what I said in the comment you replied to: the prediction of individual votes remains quite bad even if the state is taken into account. That's why the relative reduction in MSE is low. That's why the R² is low. I don't think there is any paradox.

I was replying to someone who claimed that "R2 is not the correct measure to use. This article is a perfect example of the principle that simply doing math and getting results is not necessarily meaningful." I've not seen any comment from anyone getting "different results" with a different measure.

Edit: You used var(...) which includes a factor N/N-1 and doesn't give exactly the total sum of squares.

The example dataframe contains 40 observations (20 per state) and you get higher variance estimate for the subsamples than for the aggregate sample but if you put toghether a few copies of the data (for example doing "data <- rbind(data, data, data, data, data)") even the adjusted (unbiased) estimator of the variance is lower for the states.

You can calculate the "exact" values yourself doing (x-mean(x))^2 or undoing the adjustment:

> var(data$pref)*39/40
[1] 0.25
> var(data[data$state==0, "pref"])*19/20
[1] 0.2475
> var(data[data$state==1, "pref"])*19/20
[1] 0.2475

> when the variances inside any state are bigger that the total variance

They are not. But you're right in that a small difference shows that dividing the population in groups is of little value for prediction and that's why the R^2 value is small.
Well, for one example, just yesterday I was reading that the mainstream press didn't run with the "Biden is becoming decrepit" story because it might be viewed as helping Trump. So that was either "we can't run this story because it would help a political enemy" or "we can't run this story because it would be viewed as helping a political enemy".

That story was out there for months in non-mainstream press. (And probably on Fox, but they also are a fairly clear example of 'activism'.)

Saw Dead from the floor, which is very close to the screen. There was some distortion, but it was still pretty immersive and worked reasonably well for the surround shots/sequences, though I did have to swivel and look around behind me. One of the nice things about a sphere, of course, is that there’s always a fairly undistorted view across from you. The Wikipedia article has a shot from a very low+side seat: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sphere_%28venue%29#Opening

The sound system + sphere geometry is also interesting for similar reasons, you get good sound no matter where you sit. I even brought ear plugs because concerts are always too loud, but didn’t need them in the Sphere show, they seemed to use their ability to achieve uniform coverage to set the volume at loud enoug but non-ear-destroying levels. (The WP article also talks about the sound system.)
I’m glad you’ve had a positive experience, maybe it’s the usage level that grants you that treatment. As a one-time new client I had the worst possible experience with them: null routed my game server on launch day, very slow to respond support team, and effectively held my server hostage for 3 days. I guess I needed to inform them I was intending to use the server I paid for?

They should go to Putin and sign some ceasefire or peace treaty with him if they don't like it. Why come to me. I am not Putin and I didn't even vote for him.

And yet - when someone corners you on the internet you run to stand behind him, like a big papa.

So in that sense, you very much are "voting" for him.
I agree, but this isn't any different than any of the other violations judges have been committing for decades.
I would say that EU might be accepting, but it will probably take 10 or 20 years of political change. And being much more accepting of EU in general. Also possibly higher integration with things like Euro and Schengen...

Free speech isn't universal, there are numerous well known exclusions [0]. The title of the article, while factually correct, is in my opinion pretty misleading. A more accurate description of events is that the artist is on supervised release from prison and this is one of the terms of his release plan, because it's strongly related to how he ended up in prison to begin with.

Yeah, seems unlikely that Ukraine made any difference there.
All Powershell functions are basically python generator functions. It could have been designed to have more traditional functions, but I find generators fit well into a language based on piping streams of values between functions.

Usually, the distinction between a single item, a flat list, and a list of lists isn't important in Powershell, because commands are written with Powershell's behavior in mind. It's extra painful when it does matter, but it's a trade off against being more verbose every time it doesn't matter. Ultimately, it's personal preference; for an interactive shell, I like the tradeoff Powershell made, and I think it's a cool design space to explore, but I do think there's a lot of room to improve the implentation of the concept to make it less surprising and less painful to choose the alternate behavior when needed.

I’m not convinced this is a free speech violation. He’s on parole - meaning the government has the legal right to put him back in prison basically at any moment. There’s no free speech in a prison (edit: officially yes, in practice, it doesn’t matter much).

Supervised release also comes with all sorts of restrictions, including in some cases: No internet use, no contact with minors, no alcohol, mandatory check-ins, random searches, approved locations only, curfew at night, no leaving the country, no knowing association with other felons. This is hardly novel by comparison.

Yes. He said surfing a weather system, not surfing a wave. Which is exactly what they did. As a person who does surf, his analogy was accurate and meaningful.
Yes we already have "superintelligences" if we redefine the word to mean something different.
Interestingly this doesn’t see to be a violation of his freedom of speech. The order is simply that he must share it with the government, not that he can’t say it, AFAICT.

But it can affect his supervised release seemingly.
Ask HN: Blog Post about Drone Motion Planning Algorithm

It sounds like you have ended up in a bad situation. There's no real suggestion I can provide for how you can improve your situation, other than to try to find a way to disconnect. (Meetups, walking, museums, hobbies).

Maybe that means talking to a professional therapist to find out how you can handle the situation. They get paid to help you, and there is no shame in that
It makes sense to add an ignore for .* though and then specifically unignore only those dotfiles/directories that you actully want checked in.

Wait, so where were people _getting_ them up to 2024? Were they just using old stock? IIRC they didn't age particularly well.
Ah, i see, apologies I misread the concept.
From just the first paragraph, it reads like they aren't trying to approve the release of those songs -- which they wouldn't have the authority to do. They are monitoring his activities as a condition of his parole, which is pretty routine. In this case they're putting forward the argument that he's intent on actively promoting violence with his music, and they are only willing to release him on parole if he curtails that behavior.

I don't know this rapper's music, but this line of reasoning honestly doesn't seem out of the ordinary.

He's on parole from a felony conviction, so the rules don't apply in quite the same way. I think, legally, he's still in the custody of the government, which is exactly why he has a parole officer to supervise him. And it's a well-established precedent that felons can lose constitutional rights - the examples that come to mind are felons' voting and gun rights, and sex offenders' freedom of movement.
I think my favorite journalists are ones who have “strong opinions loosely held”. Like it’s interesting to go in with a hypothesis and maybe even a desired outcome as long as you are willing to take the data as it comes.

The worst is the opposite people with an agenda who extract the one counterpoint to a 500 page research paper and write an article about how the whole papaer validate their assumptions

But somewhere in the middle is the boring boilerplate overview that takes no real stance at all.
It searched the web and cited sources.
Officially, it exists; in practice, behavior is so regulated it’s not worth much. My point is that it’s more of an “on paper” free speech in comparison to a non-incarcerated individual.
They don't seem to be attempting to prevent him from publishing his music. They will just revoke parole if he violates their terms. They're not suppressing speech. They're giving him supervised release on condition.
It’s pretty hard to quantify. Reading the tone of NYT headlines over the last 20 years, I observe a steady increase in side-taking on both sides of the newsroom. Those headlines and stories are empirically more engaging and the market values engagement above all else.

> But Morgan said prosecutors’ concerns over Dorsey’s goals of rehabilitation were “legitimate”. So she would have the artist turn his lyrics over to the government prior to putting out or promoting any songs he planned to use them in, and at that point if they are deemed to be “inconsistent with the goals of rehabilitation”, prosecutors could ask to modify Dorsey’s supervised release terms.

> As prosecutors asked, Morgan also reiterated that Dorsey must not work with people previously convicted of felonies unless given permission to do so, among other special conditions. She furthermore ordered him to complete 400 hours of unpaid community service.
Seems pretty wild, but apparently laws work a bit different for people on probation/supervised leave from prior (not sure what that means)?
Second this. IMHO Richard Burton and Alec Guinness give stellar performances in these shows/movies. I would also recommend the Len Deighton series Game, Set, Match with Ian Holm. You need to watch to the end to figure out what's going on.

I just find everything about powershell tricky. Something just doesn't click for me. It's always a struggle.
As he is on supervised release from a prison sentence, he does not currently have the full set of constitutional rights. The government can place nearly arbitrary restrictions on his life until his sentence is complete. If he disagrees with the restrictions, he is free to instead return to prison to finish his sentence behind bars. Or he can agree with the restrictions for the ~3 years he has left on his sentence and afterwards be free of them.

To be clear, I do not necessarily agree with any of this, or think it's a good idea, but it is all settled law. Despite what it sounds like, this is not a violation of his constitutional rights, any more than preventing him from recording songs in prison is.
Welp, I wish I'd learned that earlier.
I hesitate to use the same app for both authentication factors.

The reason why I started using Authy a long time ago is that it supports multiple devices and isn't linked to any other account (such as Google or Microsoft).
IMO PowerShell is very well integrated with Microsoft Azure cloud. Every Azure resource I work with (Storage, VM, Kusto, EventHub, Service Fabric, AAD, Networking) has tons of PowerShell support. I never set time to use Python with Azure Cloud - and this is only because PowerShell is so good at Azure.
Interesting how the obvious exposure to violence and what psychosomatic/organical damage it causes also to those merely exposed to it, regardless of which “side“ you’re on, is not mentioned at all. The correlations are well researched in trauma studies.
What experiments are those? I don't doubt if you lock someone in a room they'll lose sync with the sun, but people in society do rely on it. The fact that we use DST in the face of very vocal opposition shows a lot of people do care about it.

The existence of China as an outlier isn't much evidence. The most people on one side do not keep the same schedule as those on the other. If daylight really weren't an issue, there would be only one timezone for the entire Earth. So you can't point to one while ignoring the reason all of the others exist.
Perhaps the first thing that a millionfold expanded intelligence would do is not make predictions that have no basis.

That's the point, though. It's a bad .NET language, but the desire to interact with .NET dictated much of its design. Windows didn't need a way to "access the power of .NET". It needed a decent shell, and sadly still lacks one

Edit: And that isn't to say .NET doesn't need a scripting language. It sorely needs that and the various relatively useless variants on "C# scripting" are testament to that. Powershell isn't, and doesn't even attempt to be, a solution to that lack, though.
Unless you live under a rock on Airstrip One it is quite obvious that our favourite meeting places to socialise have closed.

The loss of the great English Pub is a disservice to society.

Throughout my 20's and 30's there were hundreds of pubs in my local area.

It was where all of us met members of the opposite sex, learned to play pool and darts, arranged nights out, talked about the week at work, talked about football, offered jobs, smoked a joint outside and learned to drink socially.

Of course there were the odd fights on Friday and Satuday nights but this is also how men learn about being men.

The youth of today have not had this wonderful experience.

Most of the old pubs are now local supermarkets or burger joints.

For the most part, yes.

You can easily verify by simply logging all data in/out of your network that the monitor is connected to and seeing if there is any unexpected traffic etc.

Some manufacturers are known to have added backdoors or methods to access data on remote devices but the internet community love tearing things apart, dumping firmware etc to see how things work and someone ends finding it in the end.

Not that it's the correct way of thinking, but if you have anything actually worth capturing in that respect and you believe you're being watched, you'd need to findn alternative ways to access it.
so, they hack their own database looking for passwords found in previous breaches...

what else might be stored in those logs.
Watch your network logs, block any domains you see the monitor transmitting to.
