> Services like Plausible add time into the mix. So you know that someone visited these 5 pages in 20 min. But you wont know about returning visitors. I think thats pretty significant difference.

That doesn't make it any less PII. Also, the 20 minutes thing is just a number you plucked out of thin air - it's actually valid for 24 hours.

> But if what you are saying is true then it's impossible to know how many people visited your website unless you have banner.

No, that's not what I'm saying at all. First of all, that claim is clearly false. If your web server logged only the URL and nothing else, no time, nothing, you would have accurate usage counts for every single part of your site.

For the record, I actually think Plausible attempts to do a good job - it's clear they are trying their best to be privacy focused, not log anything, only provide data in aggregate - that's all good stuff. However, I'm not sure their stance that their don't require consent is valid, because the hash itself is PII. The reason I think the hash is PII is because of how it is being used - to identify an individual user.

Oh, and servers can work perfectly fine without logs. People like logs, but they're by no means necessary.

Logs by themselves aren't necessarily a problem if you have a clear data policy in place, and there is a legitimate use for them. The point is disclosure of the data use, and timely deletion of any data that isn't strictly necessary for the business use. So, you can keep PII around relating to billing for as long as they have a subscription, or as long as you are legally required to keep customer records for. After that, they need to be deleted. Anything like access logs that you can justify a business need for can be kept, perhaps a few days or ideally hours until you extract aggregate data, but again you need to state that in your privacy policy, and they should be promptly deleted as soon as reasonably policy.

And as I said before, all you need to do to comply with the law is to make sure you have the user's consent before tracking them. It isn't really that onerous. The question is, if you don't want the user to know how you're tracking them, why not? What are you hiding?
parnering with these sorts of companies and providing banking services/underwriting is a complex product line of its own. The major banks aren't necessarily in that market or open for partnerships. And being big doesn't mean they'd be better at it - Goldman's partnership with apple is an example of the big bank not exactly getting it right. These are very complicated negotiated partnerships, not exactly plug and play lol.
Are you arguing that if Brother would just add MQTT support (whatever that would look like) or IR scanning (once again, what's the consumer use for this?) they'd have the next iPhone on their hands?

HP has had the "print to email" function you ask for since at least the late 00's (that's when I first saw it). They discontinued it on their newer models because nobody cared. Brother and Epson have this functionality as well. I imagine most consumer printer platforms support such a feature.

And you can add binding support to your printer if you want to. Here's a link to a binder add-on. Think its this big because they just felt like making it big, or because its mechanically a somewhat complex process to fold and bind stacks of paper?

If you do reply to this comment, I'd genuinely like to know what you'd do with a flatbed or ADF scanner that can scan IR and UV.

About the only feature I'd imagine a decent chunk of consumers would like that doesn't already exist would be for it to also automatically trim/cut things for you, à la Cricut. But while a Cricut looks a lot like a printer, it functions radically differently. It is made to move the cutting board back and forth and requires the material to be cut to be affixed to the board. There's a lot more setup involved than just pulling a page from the tray and pushing it through with rollers. Adding a cutting edge to a normal printer path would probably end up with lots of paper jams and debris stuck in the printer. A Cricut is way more like a 3D printer than a laser/inkjet printer.

This session was a big power grab for the courts all around. Even the apparent increase in power for the President—significant de jure, and very broad de facto immunity from the law—is largely an increase in power for the courts, since they may now selectively apply the law to a President.

The Supreme Court (ultimately) now decides not whether a President is guilty of, say, murder committed while in office, but whether they may even be tried for it.

Though, yeah, it’s gonna gum up the works in a big way. I wonder if they’ll see a budget increase and large increase in the number of (lower) court judges (so, new appointments) if the elections go a certain way in November.

In HFT you typically only measure latency for events that you did react on, not all events (at least, in the systems that I've built).

That's arguably a bit problematic as events you don't react to can cause you to fall behind, so it's useful to also track how far behind you are from the point where you start processing a packet (which requires hardware timestamping, unfortunately not present on many general-purpose NICs like what's in the cloud).

For a given market, you may have less than 1M samples a day (I've even seen some so-called HFT strategies or sub-strategies that only had 300 samples per day).

So overall, you'd have fewer events than 44.1kHz, and there are typically expected outliers at the beginning of the data before the system gets warmed up or recovers from bad initial parameters (which I suppose you could just ignore from your distribution, or you could try not to require a warmup).

But you're right, you probably want to look at quantiles closer to 1 as well. You're also looking at the max regardless.
I'm more typically accustomed to a severe and frankly tiresome degree of snark on such topics, having had more than half a lifetime more or less of such now by virtue of living outside the South but retaining a strong Mississippi accent in speech. Sometimes I forget I don't type with one, and read with insufficient charity in consequence.

That said, I do think your understanding may be usefully clarified for a bit of further analysis of the figure. "Might could" means "may be able to", and is constructed accordingly. No one would say "be able to may", and "could might" rings likewise false. The same meaning constructed from two modal verbs yields "could maybe," which is something I've often both heard and said.

I'd also note that there are lots of common English vernacular constructions, especially in more distinct dialects such as AAVE and my own Southern American English, which rarely appear in dictionaries. While we're burdened with no formal equivalent of l'Academie at least, there is a strong strain of prescriptivism wrapped around the loosely defined but quite real American system of social class, and relatively disfavored dialects such as both I just named consequently come in for a great deal of "that's not real English," with their figures often relegated to lexicons despite possessing as clear and consistent an internal grammar as any other English dialect - at least until they're adopted into mesolect, as with "y'all" and, thanks to Twitter putting a turbocharger on the appropriation of linguistic culture, roughly half of AAVE - in both cases, quite poorly. Comparing AAVE and SAE is always fraught given the history, even if that history needs to be a little esoteric to appreciate that a planter would've spoken quite differently from me, and thought me white trash besides. But I think it's fair to say both dialects about equally honor the music of language, albeit in somewhat different ways; meanwhile, the dialect of American mass culture insists on the tinniest of ears, and that above all else is what a modern American English dictionary seeks to document and formulate.

This isn't precisely to impugn the compilers of dictionaries, who do mostly good work despite my differences with their approach. It is to say it's worth knowing that for a lot of vernacular especially among disfavored dialects, a strong intuitive sense of English linguistics and the history of the language will often yield a clearer understanding.

I feel like the battery cost issue is being hand-waved by too many people here. For most people driving a car with well over 100k miles, spending $10k to replace a battery is a total non-starter. In addition to batteries degrading, there's also the risk of an accident. Some crashes that would be fixable for an older ICE car will require replacing the battery in an EV at a cost far greater than the car would be worth, making it non-viable. The battery is a risk factor that many people already worried about their finances won't want to take on.

In Java it is de facto standard to serialize enums as string, with exception of JPA where you can explicitly tell if it’s a string or a number. It also supports exotic mappings via explicit declarations. Typescript should have implemented enums with union type under the hood, enabling the use of constants instead of strings when passing/checking values.

This article is a bit terse, but at least it hits one thing: math is a different subject than most, math is a skill - just like a sport or learning an instrument (or learning a foreign language, for that matter) and mastering a skill is different than acquiring knowledge about a subject.

The problem is we don't point out that difference to students and inform them how that difference should change their approach. For example, I told my kids that math is a skill, and like all skills, practice is required for mastery. It's not math homework, it's math practice. That's not a cutesy statement, either. They understood that even if they had no homework assigned, they should still spend a few moments practicing their math. That approach paid-off in spades!

>It's wild to me that in Europe "National Parks" will have people living in them

(UK here). In the UK, there is almost nowhere that doesn't have people living there. The closest national park to where I live is the New Forest [0]. The area was originally established as a royal hunting park in 1079. One of the main modern villages, Brockenhurst, goes back to 1253, so there has 'always' been a resident population. The National Park status was formally established only in 2005, although the area has had unique land management for centuries, which has prevented uncontrolled development. The park has a large population of free-roaming ponies although all of these are owned and their breeding is controlled. Most of the other UK National Parks are set in similarly ancient landscapes, although their relative remoteness and topography mean that they only have small settlements.

To a casual observer, they usually appear wild (e.g. high windswept moorland) but as with the rest of the UK, the landscapes have been shaped by human activities for millenia.

There is a huge amount of agriculture in the California desert in the south around the Salton Sea. The "sea" itself was created by accident when the Colorado River irrigation channel broke and the river was diverted into the Salton Sink over 100 years ago. It has shrank in size but agricultural runoff keeps it from completely drying. It is also full of pesticide and fertilizer residue.

LLMs actually scale extremely well just by throwing compute at them. That's the whole reason they took off. Training a bigger model or training it longer or increasing the dataset all work more or less equally well. Now that we've saturated the dataset component (at least for human written text) pretty much, everyone throws their compute at bigger models or more epochs.

It depends entirely on what you've got on the FPGA and what's slow-path. My firm had order entry done exclusively by the FPGA and the non-FPGA code would have orders in the FPGA for sometimes tens of seconds before they would fire. The non-FPGA code was still C++, but the kind of everyday C++ where nobody has been wringing all the water out of it for speed gains. If we rewrote it all, it'd probably be python. But that's just us. Every firm has their own architecture and spin on how this all works. I'm sure somebody out there has C++ code that still has to be fast to talk to an FPGA. We didn't - you were either FPGA-fast or we didn't care.

edit: also, fwiw, "say about 100us, and absolutely never more than 1ms." things measured in that many microseconds are effectively not what my firm considered "low-latency". But like I said, there are lots of different speed games out there, so there's no one-size-fits-all here.

Can you say precisely what you mean by “computable”? I suspect you’re using an intuitive definition that’s different from the author’s formal definition.
Yes, but would you rather get a job at that kind of place? A place that thinks either a) or b) dogmatically enough that it won't hire people on that basis? It won't be just the hiring process - that kind of dogmatic mindset is going to affect working there too.
Interesting concept! It does remind me of the observables somewhat, where nodes are functions, which accept data coming in from events, which it transforms, and then chooses to emit new values or not.

This flips that, so nodes are data, which accept functions from events, it applies that function to itself, then decides to propagate that event onwards or not.

I like it! That model works really well for this sort of visual programming demoed in the infinite canvas stuff.
