"neutral" is doing a lot of heavy lifting and I apologize for that. Let me recontextualize it to this:

a proper lobbyists should be speaking in their own interests, not necessarily as a paid actor for a corporation. Paying someone a full time job to more or less woo over politicians as an envoy carries a bunch of financial perversions that leads to this very conversation.

My "neutral" comment should refer to my proposed forums. I feel people in such forums should be relatively neutral and able to compile arguments from multiple perspectives. If lawyers and reps can't do this, it makes sense to lean on a subject matter expert. But that expert should not be speaking for themselves in such a context. They should be doing what I imagined a rep to do: read a lot of different viewpoints and compile it for the lawmaker.

>99% of lobbying is exactly what you describe: boring emails, phone calls, technical essays and testimonials.

Sure, I imagine we're mostly focusing on the 1%, but it's a very powerful 1% (as usual). Enough to spoil the barrel and require reform. It rarely takes a consensus of bad to regulate the bad.
Without the societal/technological contributions of the so-called introverts, the extroverts would still be writing paper letters instead of being able to bully each other from the convenience of their mobile phones. These borderline narcissistic people are exhausting...
The LM escaping shouldn't be an issue with silicone over the on-package capacitors and foam around it. If you aren't throttling I wouldn't really bother.

If you do end up attempting it removing the LM is easier with a syringe that can suction the larger blobs away. Could even just try to reapply the same LM you removed if it's just a pumpout issue
Yeah Firefox has been utterly unusable on my 4GB (with 20GB of compressed swap on sata ssd) daily driver. Just so much locking up & unresponsiveness, input just going missing at points. But I got one of the auto-tab-discarders and it works fine for me now!

It could be anything. Personally I'm a bit freaked out by how much effort has been poured into Storage Buckets, into stronger isolation, and have a fear that there's significant overhead to doing so. But this is a reflexive concern; it could be anything, or just lots of everything.

But whatever it is, man I worry for FF.
>They effectively give themselves billions of dollars in free advertising

how the heck is google's " 'giving' themselves something for free", considered wrong? even if it is billions of dollars?

in which alt world is it wrong of you to 'give' yourself a 100 dollars? or even billions? of your own money? or even billions worth of advertising space? both the giver and the receiver are you, right? you are not stealing anything from anyone.

then what the heck is the problem? maybe I am dumb, but I fail to see it.

in your own words, they are giving it to themselves, right?

they are not taking that money away from anyone else.

and note: I am not a Google shill.
I criticized them, with some justifications that I gave, roughly about a day ago. check my comments.
I try to be objective, though of course I may sometimes fail at that.

interested to hear what you have to say about all this.
Twitter. Substack. Reddit.
It seems plausible. Mostly I think people should be explicit and clear about their accusations.

Something that doesn’t make a ton of sense to me in this theory is that, despite it being hard to add a new engine (which is not great), it is easy to switch away from Google on iOS. And the big search engines are in their pre-populated list. So it seems Google and Apple have engaged in a conspiracy to keep people from switching… just to the niche engines? That doesn’t make a ton of sense, right? Google is probably not more scared of Kagi than Bing.

My first guess is that Apple lived through the era of confused non-technical people adding a bunch of scam search engines and didn’t want a repeat of that.
> 1) I know one (ONE) person who took multivariate calculus in high school.

Unless you are specifically dealing with intractable Bayesian integral problems, the multivariate calculus involved in NNs are primarily differentiation, not integration. The fun problems like boundary conditions and Stokes/Green that makes up the meat of multivariable calculus don't truly apply when you are dealing with differentiation only. In other words you only need the parts of calc 2/3 that can be taught in an afternoon, not the truly difficult parts.

> I'm sure many here recognize the reference[0], but being able to make a model that performs successfully on a test set[1] is not always meaningful. (sic) ...[2] If you want to fight me on this, at least demonstrate to me you have taken an abstract algebra course and understand ideals and rings. Even better if axioms and set theory.

Doesn't matter, if it creates value, it is sufficiently correct for all intents and purposes. Pray tell me how discrete math and abstract algebra has anything to do with day to day ML research. If you want to appeal to physics sure, plenty of Ising models, energy functions, and belief propagation in ML but you have lost all credibility bringing up discrete math.

Again those correlation tests you use to fact check your model are primarily linear frequentist models. Most statistics practitioners outside of graduate research will just be plugging formulas, not doing research level proofs.

> Just because the simplified view is not mathematically intensive does not mean math isn't important nor does it mean there isn't extremely complex mathematics under the hood. You're only explaining the mathematics in a simple way that is only about the updating process. There's a lot more to ML.

Are you sure? The traditional linear algebra (and similar) models never (or rarely) outperformed neural networks, except perhaps on efficiency, absent hardware acceleration and all other things being equal. A flapping bird wing is beautiful from a bioengineering point of view but the aerospace industry is powered by dumb (mostly) static airfoils. Just because something is elegant doesn't mean it solves problems. A scaled up CNN is about as boring a NN can get, yet it beats the pants off all those traditional computer vision algorithms that I am sure contain way more "discrete math and abstract algebra".

That being said, more knowledge is always a good thing, but I am not naive enough to believe that ML research can only be advanced by people with "mathematical maturity". It's still in the highly empirical stage where we experimentation (regardless of whether it's guided by mathematical intuition) dominates. I have seen plenty of interesting ML results from folks who don't know what ELBOs and KL divergences are.
> It's hard to describe how drastic the difference is between a store-bought tomato and one that is homegrown.

Everyone says this, but I either have defective taste buds or defective garden tomatoes, because my garden tomatoes aren't really any different from a decent store-bought tomato when eaten fresh. For sauces, quality canned tomatoes are overwhelmingly superior to either.
Isn’t potassium an essential input in the fertilizer supply chain? Is there sufficient supply for both?

The court is plain silly if it's concluding that multi-billion-dollar deals create resistance or diminishes incentives. If anything, it creates incentives by proving that another search engine could make billions from smartphone fees alone.
"synonym for a tagged union"

Tagged unions are an implementation and one that's often a poor fit for the problem. Sum types are an idea from type theory, rather than an implementation detail. It's very on-brand for C++ to have standardized a poor implementation detail rather than the useful idea.

Look at how much hoop jumping was required to make std::optional<T&> work for C++ 26 and then compare how Rust's Option<&T> isn't even special, that's just naturally what happens.
I was going to say that the math was off by 2, but nope, you're right. Fertility rate is based on each woman, not on a couple.

Even if they kept the 0.81 rate that they are on, then you'd get:

Gen1: 100 people: 50 men + 50 women; 50 women have 40 babies (40.5, but lest round to just 40)

Gen2: 40 people: 20 men + 20 women; 20 women have 16 babies

Gen3: 16 people

Given that the current average age of a woman at the time of her first birth in SK is 33 years old (!?!?!), you'd expect the 100 people of SK to be just 16 people somewhere near 2090. Meaning that it's current population of ~52M goes to ~8M in ~70 years. An 84% reduction in 66 years, or 1.28% per year.

And it looks only like it'll get worse for them.

I can't think of any war or plague or natural disaster or famine that has ever done such a number to a population of that size over that long of a time. Granted, that hasn't happened yet.

Still, whatever the hell is happening to them is something to be avoided like a war or a famine or a plague.

Do your devices behind the router get IPv6 addresses, or just the router itself?

I wouldn't be super surprised to see routers getting IPv6 addresses and doing a 6in4 NAT, so devices behind the router get IPv4 addresses.

I would be surprised and impressed if your devices were actually getting public IPv6 addresses.

IPv6 can be kind of unwieldy, but the bigger issue to me is that old and/or very cheap clients (like bargain-bin AliExpress IoT stuff) may not support IPv6 at all.

I believe you can run DHCP for both and let the client pick one, but then you're into running dual-stack routers, and I would be very surprised if ISPs had any interest in supporting them for home use.

I may well be wrong, though. I haven't looked into it in a few years, because my ISP doesn't support it.
We actually know it. I told you how we know it, and you ignored it. If that wasn't enough for you, you could have asked for details rather than scold me about not providing tedious details on something that was public knowledge.

Anyway, I've provided said tedious details in a sibling comment.
My take away from the article, as with most articles which utilize a question as a title, is "No".

You could start with one of the ways it isn't, apart from minor cleanups, and apart from SLAAC because it was already mentioned.
Some people do want to use an older version of Photoshop though. The people who do want older gimp can still pull it from somewhere. Pretty sure Adobe's been hell bent on making sure CS6 is as useless as possible.

I feel it goes the same for games (a most proprietary platform). There will be some playing pokemon Red in 2024, but most people moved on to Sword/Shield or Scarlet/Violet. Most don't necessarily care if Red/Blue is legally available (and with the 3ds shop gone, I don't think it is as of now).

You chose to buy a platform with severe restrictions. It's not like we can blame monopoly power, because Android phones are easy to get. It was legitimately your choice - it seems like for some reason you wanted the restrictions.
Very excited about this. I've been flying curious for years, but haven't actually done it. Some of the cons that have held me back...

A few of the places I'd want to travel to have consistently bad crosswinds. Crabbing looks complex and you have to get 5 things right or you die. For the non flyers check this out https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ca0V5q4XSb8 and https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1Ri0D_0DdIU and how to do the maneuver: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=92K8s-vppDI&t=3s

It greatly limits your available flying days if you think "hey 30mph crosswinds are super sketchy, I don't want to fly today." So that means delayed trips or delayed returns. Hard to plan around.

I realize this isn't part of the current iteration and requires lots of regulatory hoops... But in future with automation, it would be amazing to know you could fly in clouds or evenings easily with only a basic private pilot's license.

Aviation self driving is so much older and reliable than automotive self driving, it's frustrating that it isn't generally available. It's awesome that you are working to bring it to low cost flying, thanks for working on this and congratulations on the launch!

I'll add that I think the "easy to drive as a boat or car" size of the market is easily 10x the existing private pilot market. (And the easy as a car and the price of a pickup truck size of the market is probably 1000x the current market). So I think you are on to something big.
> For example it's crazy that most pilots are still taught to calculate W&B using printed charts and approximate takeoff performance.

We're taught that so we know what we're doing. Then we open our iPhone app (EFB or electronic flightbag) and do it there. In fact, part of the reason we do it there is because most of them phone home to their maker and log that we did it. So if there's an accident people can know "well they did their W&B"

> the rest of the things

Regulations have made aviation so expensive that it's ridiculous. A lot of airplanes flying today are flying with their same avionics from 60 years ago because upgrading is expensive. To get the gas calculation you mention would require a certified GPS (on the low end from Garmin that's $6,000) and an engine monitor ($5,500 from Garmin), plus installation costs of another few thousand dollars.

Most planes have a gear down warning (ie, 3 indicator lights) but their original "bitching betty" is hard to hear because we now wear ear protection when we fly and have noise cancelling headphones. You probably can't even integrate that with a new Garmin system because they've gone full encrypted CANBUS to lock out integrations.

re: spin warnings - not sure what to tell you there. Stall speed is based on weight and configuration (flaps) and 99% of GA planes have no idea what they weigh or if their flaps are deployed.

But again, it's not that we can't do those things, it's just that they're completely cost prohibitive. Getting anything certified today is a flippin' nightmare and at too high of a cost to ever break even.
Ah got it, thank you.
I use only Kagi on all my devices. Thank you for building a phenomenal search engine.

On iOS my Safari browser is always in private mode. I never use non-private tabs. Kagi integration via the Safari extension works most of the time - but was broken for several months (required re-logging into Kagi when opening a new private tab after a delay). It looks like you fixed it just a couple of weeks ago, so I appreciate that.

I am raising this just so you are aware of this use case - always staying in private mode.

(The fact that iOS doesn't allow setting the default search provider in Safari to anything other than half a dozen of pre-selected partners is abysmal.)
If sites leaked passwords were hashes of salt/peppered passwords then it wouldn't match
O&G are allowed to do their jobs because the consumers (the real polluter) are also the voters, and there is just about nothing that pisses them off more than high gas prices. And most of that other stuff you complain about is just an insignificant thing we call "free speech."

I don't really see why a leap to indentured servitude is necessary here. There are obviously many other ways of implementing a training relationship - see the other comments re. how it is done in Germany.

The point I'm making is that society as a whole is worse off if companies are too risk averse to hire and train juniors up to a certain level of quality. This results in too few people capable of doing a specific, presumably valuable, job well. The consequences of this are a society that underperforms it's true potential in the long run. In monetary terms, as you raise the question, that means that less taxable value is generated. So society as a whole pays the consequence.
There is proof (not just evidence) that Google paid to be on the list. There is evidence that to be on that list, one needs to pay; therefore, there is evidence that Microsoft also paid to be there.
The thing that worries me is that this will attract the same kind of pilots as Tesla's so called FSD.
Because of valunords comment, I did a review of the literature in Google Scholar, and found there are quite a few small trials of ketogenic diets and fasting on different cancers. It is an active area of research, but the results so far are not amazing looking, mortality rates are about the same. At best, it seems like it might slightly increase the effectiveness of specific existing treatments for a small handful of specific types of solid tumor cancers. It's nothing even close to the 90% cure valunord is claiming- that is a flat out lie.

Banks add their own features to the spec - imagine they want to add a new "Bank only" attribute that makes their XML schema differentiated and better in some way.

ISO20022 / XML allows this to be possible without breaking anything. In the past payment formats used to be fixed width text files - impossible to change or improve functionality for
It's the extensible nature of XML that gives it an advantage. You can add custom elements and attributes whilst conforming to the base schema.

Granted, XML isn't the only format where this is possible. You can sort of achieve it with JSON, though XML's namespace system helps deal with name collisions. Adding bank-specific messages wouldn't be possible (or would be difficult) with fixed-column formats, for example, unless they had been specifically designed to be extended.
To be fair to some of my former colleagues in government, there are some folks who do know about tech in Congress and smattered across federal agencies and the White House. While politicians themselves may not know how the internet works, if they listen to their staffers (which many do on the actual technical part of a topic if not the political or other implications of an issue), they are probably at least somewhat informed.

For those with tech knowledge who want to try to change things, I recommend checking out https://www.techcongress.io/, https://horizonpublicservice.org/ (they both have a cohort they're recruiting for right now) and USDS.

So, what this project misses, which is quite hard to capture if you think of gates being just on off switches, is the fact that signals are not instantaneous, and everything runs in parallel.

As the AND gate 4 gates up the chain switches the NOT gate 4 gates down the chain starts to send different and unstable signals which may or may not be interpreted as a 1 or 0 in the downstream gate.

That's the reason computers have a clock, to make sure all transistors in a given stage of a CPU reach a steady state before moving on to the next instruction.

This is why it's probably a good idea to work with a HDL instead of just trying to wing it.
If, for fun, I wanted to train an ML model on a ton of CPU instructions (which each predicted state/label being the state of the registers), does anyone have any clue how to gather that kind of data?
You're not landing this thing in a 30mph crosswind in something this small, no matter how fancy the control logic. You'd be too skewed to land safely. 30mph is pushing is for some airliners. The aircraft this is built on is only certified for a 15kt cross.

The bigger problem is that low level winds that strong are often associated with bad weather...which again doesn't mix well with small planes.

I 100% agree with the idea that these won't be any more interpretable and I've never understood the argument that they would be. Sure, if the NN was a single neuron I can see it, but as soon as you start composing these things you lose all interpretability imo
