I did not wait anywhere near 30 minutes at LAX when I opted out there a couple weeks ago!

If you can cite some evidence that your impression is the rule, that might be helpful. My own experience, having opted out and gotten the pat-down every time I've flown since the new scanners were introduced, is that the process has not really changed at all over the years, and opting out has never come close to causing a missed flight.
Yes... But it's a PITA most of the time, right ? I'm not sure for JS, as I can't remember right now but it's a annoying as f*k in python at least
In their defense, users are stupid and that's why Linux and FreeBSD haven't yet replaced Windows. I recommend GNOME to inexperienced users, and they actually like it and find it intuitive. It accelerates Linux and FreeBSD adoption, which automatically improves the entire freedesktop ecosystem, nobody can deny that. No matter what drama happens, at the end of the day, almost all our distros can run the same apps natively, making every improvement for one a direct or indirect improvement for all.

I suggest that a better title would be "Trans cyclists take gold..."
Amazing! Hope we don't let you down!
Rude. Also, too late, I know now. I would worry more about flooding given how close to the Mississippi River it is.
Try "The Killing Star".
There is no world where the added time here for the developers is with the trade off, and if you look through my history, you will see that I largely reject “dev time trade off” as a notion a company should ever seriously entertain as a significant burden.

I doubt you can put an extra small moon into space, but maybe you could bring in a massive asteroid?

I guess the big problem is that it’d affect the intact satallites a lot more than the debris.
any chance it will take down Elon ISP star Link and we will have a dark LEO for astronomy again? (fingers crossed)
Perhaps we should question how productivity is measured and learn to control all the various factors. I think there is much more than AI at play here, and in fact i would guess that AI has been a major factor in offsetting (preventing) an overall decrease in "productivity" (as currently defined).
The brilliance of cycling is that if you were to invent a cheating competition, you could never call it that because it would give away the game. You would need a pretext for rules, one that used some arbitrary but very specific set of contraints that disqualify all functionally efficient solutions outside their domain. They would enable byzantine regulations that created jobs for (pliable) authorities who outnumbered athletes, and be a constant source of subtext, scandal, misdirection, and betrayal.

To appreciate the peculiar beauty of cycling you need to understand what it is. It is not merely a sport or an athletic competition, it is itself the art of cheating.
This feedback is incredible. I am trying to figure out how to niche down instead of being the everything-networking tool to everyone. I like your ideas a lot and have copied them into a doc to sit down and really think about as I identify the direction of the company. Appreciate the time you spent sharing your thoughts.
No offense, but if you're not a recruiter I don't care about you there. Yes, they're fools, and they're gatekeepers.
Then get the zoning fixed so density and design that support that transit. The transit in the places you mention directly stems from the zoning and density that is basically illegal in north america
> how often are big eruptions followed by even bigger eruptions?

Quite often, I'd say.

Disruptions in the stability of geological processes frequently have a compounding domino effect... a volcanic eruption is often preceded by the opening of smaller vents, small landslides can trigger large landslides, small sinkholes can suddenly develop large ones, a trickle over a levee can turn into a total breach, most M>7.0 earthquakes have foreshocks...

You can't tell where the peak severity will be in a cluster of geological events except in hindsight after the entire cluster is passed.
Myself included, I thought perhaps I had missed something important but it was what most other people were asking

14 points but not many comments. Interesting times. Let's hope America can outlive the current chaos, and the tech world owns up to some of the rot that has set in - on our watch, and with our technology.
From what I understand, they use that to determine if you've met a lot of people in your work life which somehow means you're better at jobs. I never understood it.
FWIW, I would be inclined to standardise on PIV/CAC devices (i.e., smart cards), for which there are standard USB readers and drivers and protocols. You can get started with YubiKeys because they're relatively reliable, if a little expensive, and they have good support for PIV/CAC -- but if you stick to what smart cards can generically achieve you won't get shafted by only having a single supplier in the future when Yubico inevitably becomes less attractive for some reason or other.
>It's a big boardwalk feature at a high-profile park and sees hundreds of visitors a day with vanishingly rare incident.

It is also important to consider the context of the park itself. Roughly half of the world's known geysers are in Yellowstone. One of the primary reasons to go there is to see all the hydrothermal features. It is easy to watch this video from your laptop and know it is dangerous, but if you saw this explosion an hour after seeing this[1], the danger would likely be much less obvious.

In these cases it’s usually an operations-related team who is able to write queries just fine, but they don’t want to use a terminal with PSQL or have creds spread around in their own machines.

The AI also helps folks do queries without having to explore the schema for a while.
With all of this no matter how bad it was, how negligible CS was or just how plain silly it was.

Rules in many industries are often written in blood, whilst not the case here (I would hope), these incidents are what sparks change in many cases. We now have large companies all around the world bearing the brunt of not testing an update before putting it into production. Whether it was because of them or reliance on a third party, executives en masse are now aware of what happens if you don't do these things.

When we talk about promoting changes into production before testing, we will all come back to this moment
Hey, I live right there, and just hiked it a couple months ago! I didn't realize it was still active (dormant?). Kinda cool to think about.

Some scam SSDs are smaller drives with hacked controller firmware that is bright enough to avoid detection with quick scans - you have to write beyond the real capacity then re-read to confirm corruption.
I'm not sure if you're commenting on Yellowstone specifically, national parks and wild areas in general, or simply the everpresent risk from our heads being ~6ft above the ground and kept aloft by one hell of an inverted pendulum problem.

They said remove legally-enforced monopolies on what they produce. Many of these big firms made their tech with millions to billions of taxpayer dollars at various points in time. If we’ve given them millions, shouldn’t we at least get to make independent implementations of the tech we already paid for?
I asked specifically about Magnesium L-threonate due to its ability to increase synaptic connectivity (yet to be conclusively reported in humans) and hence gray matter, and Ashwagandha due to its neuroprotective, neurotransmitter-preserving, and cortisol-lowering effects.

I take magnesium daily, including the regular dose of Magnesium L-threonate, and my last CMP showed serum levels within range.

Maybe super large medical doses beyond even those used for eclampsia would affect heart conduction, or those who take way more than what supplement bottles recommend.

I'm not sure what studies have conclusively shown Ashwagandha to be safe only up to 3 months.
I get most of my herbal data from Examine.com (PhD academics that analyze data), where they say:

"Some case reports have suggested adverse effects such as rash or thyroid dysregulation may occur with ashwagandha use, but the same has not yet been observed by safety studies with larger samples.[38][39][35] Several case reports have also raised concerns regarding the rare occurrence of liver toxicity with ashwagandha use, but similarly, toxicity has not been observed in clinical safety trials. In the reports, liver toxicity was usually reported within 2–12 weeks of ashwagandha use, and liver function returned to normal in all but one case following medical support and ashwagandha discontinuation.[40][41][42][43][44][45] An in vitro study suggested that withanone (one type of withanolide in ashwagandha), may have toxic effects in the context of low levels of the cellular antioxidant glutathione (GSH), which is involved in drug detoxification.[46] However, this research is far from conclusive and the mechanisms underlying this possible adverse effect are unclear."
Part of that compromise is already in effect:

> Philippines, the weakest link in the chain of U.S. alliances in Asia.

US alliances? Funny how our alliances are with countries that we've nuked, invaded and occupied. Is it aggression or is china trying to liberate these countries from foreign occupation.

Imagine if china nuked/invaded japan, korea and the philippines and built military bases there. And then pretended they were protecting them. We'd all laugh at them.
Cities aren't going anywhere. Building and maintaining roads and cars is expensive. Essentially you can either pay for endless freeways, or pay for a subway system. People need to get around.
The reason why I noted a thousand year period is because Yellowstone is said to have a lot more energy than we can use right now.

Regarding the investment, if a 5 km well is dug, I don't expect it to exhaust its energy without a significant payback.

The rough numbers I’ve been using in my test cases are in the scale of thousands of relatively densely distributed intervals and hundreds of thousands of range queries. This is for a real-time interactive use case targeting the range of tens of milliseconds or so (obviously depends on CPU, but ideally supporting the last couple generations or so). “Too slow” is the upper end of that range because it’s part of the critical path for interactions.

Slower writes with a dense representation like that would be great. The problem I’ve been seeing in my prototypes is that querying the slots back tends to be about the same performance as the ordered map. Some people mentioned a variation on this idea that would store some coarser-grained statistics based on minimum duration in certain regions which might help a bit.
just in time for the election circus
Have you found cases where "f3probe --destructive" didn't work for you?
This might be a frequentist vs bayesian thing, and I am bayesian. So maybe other people would have a different view.

I don't think you need to have any information to have a probability distribution; your distribution already represents your degree of ignorance about an outcome. So without even sampling it once, you already should have a uniform probability distribution for a random number generator or a coin flip. If you do personally have additional information to help you predict the outcome -- you're skilled at coin-flipping, or you wrote the RNG and know an exploit -- then you can compress that distribution to a lower-entropy one.

But you don't need to sample the distribution to do this. You can have that information before the first coin toss. Sampling can be one way to get information but it won't necessarily even help. If samples are independent, then each sample really teaches you barely anything about the next. RNGs eventually do repeat so if you sample it enough you might be able to find the pattern and reduce the entropy to zero, but in that case you're not learning the statistical distribution, you're deducing the exact internal state of the RNG and predicting the exact next outcome, because the samples are not actually independent. If you do enough coin flips you might eventually find that there's a slight bias to the coin, but that really takes an extreme number of tosses and only reduces the entropy a tiny tiny bit; not at all if the coin-tossing procedure had no bias to begin with.

However the objective truth is just that the next toss will land heads. That's the only truth that experiment can objectively determine. Any other doubt that it might-have-counterfactually-landed-tails is subjective, due to a subjective lack of sufficient information to predict the outcome. We can formalize a correct procedure to convert prior information into a corresponding probability distribution, we can get a unanimous consensus by giving everybody the same information, but the probability distribution is still subjective because it is a function of that prior information.
Zero is a fine answer for integer division by zero. "Oh noes you can't do that math, my teacher told me so in a school" isn't a brilliant heuristic to work from.

How about modulo zero? That can be completely correctly define or a floating point exception if you decided to define it in terms of divide and also decided divide should do that.

What about floating point? It gave up on reflexive equality and yet programs do things with doubles despite that.

The integer divide zero industry best practice of promptly falling over isn't an axiom of reality. It's another design mistake from decades ago.
>> Either you port Tensorflow (Apple)[1] or PyTorch to your platform or you allow CUDA to run on your hardware (AMD) [2]. Companies are incentives to not have NVIDIA having a monopoly but the thing is that CUDA is a huge moat due to compatibility of all frameworks and everyone knows it. Also, all of the cloud or on premises providers use NVIDIA regardless.

This never made sense to me -- Apple could easily hire top talent to write Apple Silicon bindings for these popular libraries. I work at a creative ad agency, we have tons of high end apple devices yet the neural cores sit unused most of the time.
> if I went to a bar (by myself) every Friday night and got a jack and coke

At 30 I had a fulltime job, an apartment, and I worked out regularly. And I was chronically single.

So I quit my job, started doing CrossFit every day, and started going out (acro yoga, goth clubs, blind dates with friends of friends), getting new friends with attractive female friends, expanding my network through the people I dated, getting regular female training partners to normalise interaction with attractive women.

I hooked up with a lot of people, sometimes dating too many people, annoyingly honest about polyamory, and eventually I entered a relationship with an emotionally intelligent, attractive woman who didn’t know I was really an insecure geek on ’roids (metaphorically speaking).

Getting back a job in software and my personality gradually reverted until the relationship fell apart. Decided I should be brutally honest about who I am, met my wife (friend of a friend) 8 months later.
This is such an important point. I know several startups that are running on fumes, and have about pages with 15 employees who were actually laid off over a year ago and job postings they have no intent to even reply to candidates.

Over 60 observations of this hot spring erupting in some fashion over the last 18 years. https://geysertimes.org/geyser.php?id=Black+Diamond Many of the reports mention black water and rocks and "big" -- so not particularly rare.

Beyond that, it can't "phone home" or do any other sorts of nefarious shite. The other limitations there, which you can plainly read, seem not very restrictive.

Is there a magic secret clause conspiracy buried within the license agreement that you believe will be magically pulled out at the worst possible moment? >..<

If you want to use that sampling theorem, you have to bring up frequencies. Explaining those and how they apply to printer's ink is arguably more complicated than what Turing did; especially for his contemporary target audience.

The argument from pixels is more natural to us these days, that's why we think it's simpler.

I live about 40 miles from the edge of the caldera. I've wondered about drilling down to get heat. Nobody else has done it though, with the exception of the various hot springs around here. There is a hot-ish spring on our property, in that it stays snow free through the winter. That said, if there was a bunch of heat near the surface presumably our well water would be hot. It isn't.
