When you say things like lipstick wearing is a classic example of a non-genetic heritable trait, you sound like a guy claiming that a cat is a classic example of a non-reptilian reptile. It's somewhat of a contradiction in terms that doesn't make much sense.

"Heritability is a statistic used in the fields of breeding and genetics that estimates the degree of variation in a phenotypic trait in a population that is due to genetic variation between individuals in that population."

You are using the term in a colloquial or folk sense. Do you think accents are highly heritable? After all, a child will almost always share the accent of their parent. So in the colloquial sense this would be a 'heritable' trait, but in the genetic sense the heritability of an accent is zero.
In several towns I've lived in.. I _know_ everyone in city hall. It wouldn't be a deferential call, but a friendly one, where I'd mostly ask "Hey Bill, would there ever be a problem if I...."

Bill's got my back. If there was a problem, he'd be the first one to tell me _how_ to work around it, and since I'm the kind of guy to want to make things easy for everyone I live around, he'd probably be the first one to help do it if I needed it.
I'm not sure if this counts as ELIF but it's a gross simplification

perceptron layer is

output = simple_function( sum(many_inputs*many_weights) + extra_weight_for_bias)

a KAN layer is

output = sum(fancy_functions(many_inputs))

I think you're solving the wrong problem.

People who are afraid of learning to aviate shouldn't be flying. Fear of things one isn't capable of doing is healthy.
The best case is to use the native Milkweed in your geo. Source that if you can. However, in a lot of places only tropical milkweed is available. You can still grow it, but like the parent suggests, it is a problem if you let it survive the winter. Cut it down to the roots post summer.
The survival rate is only about 6%. If you put them in the enclosure most of them survive.

"I expect this to be bad for everyone except Google if the ruling holds."

If the decision will not be bad for Google, then why would Google spend so much money and time to defend against it.^1

Why not just stop making the anti-competitive payments and terminate the agreements. Money saved. Problem solved.

We can now safely say it is not a defense to claim "Google is the best" and that's why people choose it. Anti-competitive conduct is illegal. Whether it is prudent or not. It makes no difference whether the payments were actually "necessary".^2 Google made them anyway, repeatedly.

1. Even more, this "prediction" implies there will be an appeal ("... if this ruling holds."). Why bother with an appeal if this decision has no negative effect on Google.

2. One only needs to show the conduct had an anti-competitive effect.

2022 G14 owner... it is a Windows laptop. Thermals are poor to the point that gaming on it makes the keyboard uncomfortable to touch, there's no battery bypass for USB-C PD so using it plugged in that way cycles the battery, the speakers are meh, the keyboard is mushy and the left ctrl key randomly stopped working, the trackpad is small and cheap feeling, in Linux the GPU management is tedious where I can choose between "integrated GPU" or "constantly hot and noisy with one-fifth as much battery life as my MacBook Air when just sitting there on the desktop" and switching between these modes requires logging out first.

That said, it's a reasonably priced gaming laptop for travel and you can definitely do worse.
Google is going to lose money. Their search has been declining for years and the top 1/2 or so of a search is nothing but ads. So, while they may pay for deals, they will likely also lose traffic that helps pay for those deals.
They already have a tiny instant search engine which shows 1 result of a url at top.

I’d say its pretty accurate and impressive 95% of the time to the point im impressed at how good its suggestions are considering it’s just the top 1 search.
It's awesome to bring some innovation into the airplane market.
That being said, changing the control scheme seems like a bad move.
Stick and rudder are not that complicated. Lots of aspiring pilots will not buy this thing because they are all going to have been trained on conventional controls.

I even ran into this when making my unrealistic VR space flight sim (roguestargun.com)

The first thing people complained about was the fact that I didn't setup the controls with conventional pitch and yaw axis. I watched videos of folks crashing repeatedly. I finally gave in and a bunch of 4 star reviews turned into 5 star reviews.
Yea, don’t use liquid metal on aluminum heatsinks. Nickel or copper heatsinks are fine though.
Thanks for the detailed response. Sounds like what I do too, but for the social component I try and find someone learning the same thing. Sometimes that’s easy, sometimes not.

Like most people with young kids these days, I’m struggling with the reduced willpower people are trading for their digital conveniences. My original comment took that reflexivity too far and ignored the obvious utility of apps (I have ones I use too!) with a blanket assumption.

> they almost always culminate in the pilot failing to control the airplane

"failing to control the airplane" is a little like saying everyone dies of heart failure. Yes their heart stopped - but why!?

The real cause is somewhat earlier. Why was a normally competent pilot in a situation where they no longer adequately controlled the aircraft?

Improve avionics - great. Improve situational awareness - really helpful. Handling should be way down the list - it becomes quite intuitive very quickly.
An artist only gets 85% off Bandcamp if they don't have a label. If they're on a label they're making a small portion of that 85%.

I got the impression the stuff the GP was buying was not a bunch of independent small artists that only have a Bandcamp page and no label. Ticket and merch sales are likely to make a label artist more than download sales. Ticket sales also help get artists more gigs. Bands tour because they make more money than if they only tried to sell records (in any medium).

Because government is a very blunt instrument and it's reacting to the harm caused by large scale economic behavior (especially fueled by a debt based system that sucks wealth away from the edges so it's hard to retain the slack required to not turn the screws).

"Outlaw" is a bit overstating it though, don't you think? Is the average motorist an outlaw due to the proliferation of unreasonable speed limits? I get that it's a bit vexing, but once you've got your hands on your illicit chainsaw, nobody is coming to check where you bought it. Personally I'd be more worried about getting called out for felling the type of trees you need a gas chainsaw to cut.

You've got a good point about PG&E being institutionally prohibited from gas chain saws in a way they can't sidestep like individuals can. But much of their right of way maintenance is likely done with heavy machinery or helicopters, rather than solely relying on manual labor with 2 cycle engines.
Yes it is true.

Oh, is stacker requesting stack growth that otherwise wouldn't happen? I always just assume address space reservations are cheap/free, and you can just mark a heap (hah) of space for your stacks. I guess it also has the behaviour that you'll find out which programs are stack hogs earlier.
Does this support staggering notifications over a period of time? We keep on running into infrastructure ceilings due to traffic spikes after particularly engaging notifications.
> Its not uncommon to search for product X, only to find product Z being ranked above the official store of X. Google search is advertisement first, quality second.

While I was at eBay, there was a company announcement praising one executive who had noticed that eBay spent a lot of money on placing Google ads for searches like "ebay", when obviously someone searching for "ebay" can find it in the search results. He canceled the ads, and it worked! There was no significant decline in traffic.

But that's a problem for Google, and the situation you describe is the obvious solution. If people won't advertise on searches where they should appear in the actual results, the way to get them to advertise is to stop having actual results.

I'm not addressing that because I don't think it's an interesting discussion. There's excellent tooling for validating crypto code.

I'm emphasizing the difference between rust and C here because unlike Martin, I don't agree that it's meaningfully possible to eliminate UB in C by careful analysis. You're able to do this in Rust in large part because those issues are all concentrated in a few tightly scoped blocks with clear responsibilities.

Unsafe also gives you a massive hint where to look when you're debugging.
Again those are typically for limited runs - for unlimited runs they're surprisingly inexpensive.
Thank you for doing this. I would also recommend doing the same for other pollinators as well, native bees, wasps, moths etc. all need our help. The best way to do it is follow the steps to create a certified native wildlife habitat. I converted my backyard into one and I see the difference in the variety of pollinators I see now vs when I moved in. If anyone is interested on how to do it: https://www.nwf.org/CERTIFY

TLDR: Add hosts plants for the larva. Add food sources (nectar and pollen) for the pollinators. Add safe resting spaces (old logs, leaf litter etc). Provide water. Native plants work the best, but that doesn’t mean you only have them, non natives also can be useful.

Seattle-area commuter here. I have to agree, transit seems mostly designed for people who don't value their time. Which don't tend to be the highly paid tech workers with families. I tried so many times to give transit "one more try". The straw that broke my back was when they silently canceled 2 buses in a row for my route, on the coldest day of the year, for a route that has 20 minutes between buses. And my suburb commuter route doesn't even have the big city problems that plague the Seattle buses.

Now I drive my single occupant 6603 lb truck to work once or twice a week, and WFH the rest of the time.
"But often I found myself going up over the hill into the small and quaint town of Julian."

Julian recently had a rather important geological/gemological discovery happen - crystals of emerald, bisected by citrine - yet it's all one and the same crystal, and it wasn't caused by the emerald breaking and citrine filling the fracture. The citrine acts as a sort of 'barrier' where you can see inverse concentrations of various elements on either side of the citrine.
Yes, stacker has to be called explicitly, and in the case of an arbitrarily recursive program at each N recursion levels -- it's not something like a signal handler that sits in the background and gets activated when the thread runs out of stack space.

One of my first jobs out of college was an e-commerce team lead for a luxury apparel retailer. We had access to all kinds of 80-90% sales before customers did, and lots of bonuses were paid as gift cards, so before long I was dressed head to toe in D&G, casually wore Santoni shoes, my only suit (that I worn maybe once) was Brioni. I always kinda despised "expensive clothes" but with time I learned to appreciate that some of it is very unique and/or of outstanding quality. These days I prefer Uniqlo, but still have a few items left from before, which had been serving me well for almost 20 years now.

I generally don’t think all people are equally capable. I have a kid with fairly severe adhd, and i am mildly affected myself. I’m very familiar with executive dysfunction. What I have found is that it’s a muscle I can exercise and keep in shape, and if I start slacking on it it’s very easy for my discipline to fall apart. It took a couple of years to build up that fitness as well.

One trick is be aware of how much you enjoy different processes.

I find for example I prefer everything to be a small task. I like to separate planning from coding and don't try to do both simultaneously. That works for me. You may be the same or different.

That is one example. The idea is to understand what you like and hate about the work. Not what you think you should like but what you actually like.
Also the cost opportunity.

If Apple decides to make a search engine and eats $100 billion out of Google's $500 billion profit (made up numbers), Google will just spend back $100 billion (or whatever constitutes a blank warfare check) for year into completely annihilating Apple's presence. They will literally stop people from finding any page that even remotely mentions their 'AppleSearch' and also deprioritize a bunch of other products too unless if you type out, exact word, 'AppleSearch' or whatever it'd be called.

So now you're Apple, here's a question: Will you spend $200 billion fighting back? When will this stop? You're Apple, and this is a stupid move.

Other thing said to me by then-CEO of Goldman (during my new trader / out of school training months / Goldman onboarding), he said "there's 3 ways of making it in this business: be smarter, be first, or cheat. Now, I don't cheat. And although I like to think we have a lot of pretty smart people in this building, it sure is a hell of a lot easier to just be first. "
> but Google didn't buy its way into dominance and maintain their dominance through exclusivity deals.

Then they wouldn't have those deals in the first place.

Companies don't just piss off money for no reason. And the reason is simple: They want no competition - they strictly maintain their dominance through them.

Just saying "No" isn't enough. You have to explain why they have those deals if you think this isn't the reason why. Otherwise, anyone reasonable must disagree by default.
> as well as taking different implementation strategies (e.g. the small string optimization is different in libc++ and libstdc++

Yes! As a PPL that recently picked up gliding, I hugely recommend it. It’s a proper sport with a super high skill ceiling, supportive clubs, and competitions/racing when you’re ready. In studying for the glider rating, you’ll cover quite a bit that’s also applicable to flying “power”.

Plus, the economics are great. I bought a glider earlier this year for about 15k. I recently flew 5 hours from a $50 aerotow to 2500ft on a weak day and had a blast fighting my way around the course I was trying to fly. That’s compared to the $170/hr my club Cessna rents for, and which is nowhere close in terms of joy-per-hour.

Airplanes are for transportation, gliders are for sport!

hell, I'd argue that it should be fine for formal writing as well. Ideally, the gap between written and spoken language is as narrow as possible, since ideally a written text communicates with the reader directly, with as little hurdles to parsing the content as possible. Having to maintain a secondary vocabulary is exhausting and creates barriers. There is a limit to how permissive I am with this personally though, generally I'd only be happy with changes that are semantically near identical, or introduce words which represent genuinely novel concepts rather than slang that re-brands existing concepts.

My mother was a programmer from the 70s until 2008 when she retired from it. I asked her / told her about the gender disparity problem in tech.
