I do not think there is a right answer in that a feed can be designed with many sorts of characteristics and still be seen as an attractive feed to the user. For instance a feed could show you fashionable upcycling, reuse, repair, thrifting, etc. or it could show you stuff you could buy new at Rodeo Drive , Wal-Mart, Temu, etc. If the feed creator cared they could collect train/test data and make a model that predicts that variable and be able to quantify it as a property of the feed that can be optimized for.

Interaction with the feed also creates a record (more so if the user writes something) of the subject’s mental state including both chronic and acute disorders, stress, anxiety, depression as well as psychosis symptoms.

That responsibility is awesome, it is hard to defend “doing nothing” with this information as an ethical policy but any intervention is likely to be ill-targeted, ineffective and ethically questionable in its own way.

ultimate-guitar.com is a big offender. The mobile site jams lots of things in your face to and get you to download the app (including an entire fake tab page that you can't interact with but can scroll past on iOS devices). Then on the mobile site you can't tap on any of the chords to see the fingerings (very important!).

You can if you choose to request the desktop site, but then you get an obnoxious bar going across the middle of the page blocking some of the tab.

If you fold and finally download the app, you're greeted with a 10+ page unskippable questionnaire that after you're done ends with a paid subscription call to action. If you then force close the app, and open a tab link from the browser into the app, you are finally allowed to view a tab.

So, 1m gal / 82 gal/person/day = 12,195 person/days of water.

If they really have "more cameras than anywhere else" and if that even mattered, then its already covered.

It would be orders of magnitude cheaper to put cameras in every single room, with a big sign saying this camera turns on every 4 hours with a big red light, and then if you cover it up a physical presence will occur.

> Please explain to me, why individual sacrifice is not a solution to the problem

Technological progress that leads to higher quality of life is a far better solution than individual sacrifice, not at the least because unlike individual sacrifice, it is self-incentifying.

For example, in a large percentage of the developed world, we don't need to burn fossil fuels directly anymore to heat indoor spaces. Heat pumps (even those powered by fossil fueled electric grids) reduce both overall CO2 emissions and improve indoor and local air quality, all of which improve individual, community, and global quality-of-life, so therefore no "sacrifice". It's similar for electrified transport (both personal and mass transit), and manufacturing.

The problem is that switching to newer emissions-free technology can be capital-intensive in the short term. In the long term it is not only cheaper, but will improve average quality of life.

Gotta be honest, I don't get the vitriol.

Patreon wants to advertise and publish content in an iOS app. Apple says you must allow in-app-purchases. Either there is value in being on the platform or there isn't. Patreon seems to think there is.

To creators there is no cost, by default the price of their subscription offerings will be bumped up so they get the same revenue. Patreon will also increase revenue by taking the same % of the higher overall price.

Users will have the choice of subscribing through iOS or through the website. If the higher cost from within the app isn't worth it to them, they will go to the website.

Who cares?
As long as it's only used by people who opt into that sort of thing, I'm good with it. Being spied on, no. And doubly no if stores are using their ill-gotten data gains in order to target offers or adjust pricing for me.
I had never in my life heard of this before now and I am no stranger to hotels.

I would go straight to the front desk, demand my money back for that day and then never stay with hotel again along with making sure the corporate office got a nice email about their bullshit policy.

Maybe over priced Vegas hotels can do this but any hotel I have ever stayed at needs to make the customer happy because the competition is so fierce. Most hotels will go out of their way to make sure you are happy. Not randomly inspect your room like you are a child.

Perhaps the exception is the specialized little tools needed to work on my bicycles. But even there, I can either fix it myself during my off time, or fit a time into my schedule to take my bike somewhere and then get it back.

There's work that I don't do. We all choose our battles.

I’d be lying if the nerd cred of overengineering the solution wasn’t attractive as well.
Right, but that's because it is not obvious what they should mean or how to implement them. In particular, it seems that intolerable complications to the linker would be required. Contrast that with, say, a proposal to add a more concise syntax to Go for anonymous functions. Everyone can see exactly what that would mean and how it would be implemented.

I'm not saying that Go should never add generic methods to the language. But it's at least reasonable to hold off from doing so until these issues are clarified.

There is a concise explanation of the central problem in a comment in the issue thread:

> The crux of the problem is that with a parametric method, the generated code for the body depends on the type-parameter (e.g. addition on integers requires different CPU instructions than addition of floating point numbers). So for a generic method call to succeed, you either need to know all combinations of type-arguments when compiling the body (so that you can generate all bodies in advance), or you need to know all possible concrete types that a dynamic call could get dispatched to, when compiling the call (so you can generate the bodies on demand). The example from the design doc breaks that: The method call is via an interface, so it can dispatch to many concrete types and the concrete type is passed as an interface, so the compiler doesn't know the call sites.

Rust allows generic methods on traits but doesn't allow these traits to be instantiated as trait objects. Perhaps Go could do something similar. https://docs.rs/erased-generic-trait/latest/erased_generic_t.... But it's far from obvious to me that this would be a good idea for Go, and I'm glad the Go team haven't rushed into anything here.
No, the definition of a tensor as a linear map, is the only definition that is useful for doing physics.

All the physical quantities that are defined to be tensors are quantities used to transform either vectors into other vectors or tensors of higher orders into other tensors of higher orders (for instance the transformation between the electric field vector and the electric polarization vector).

Therefore all such physical quantities are used to describe multilinear functions, either in linear anisotropic media, or in non-linear anisotropic media, but in the latter case they are applicable only to relations between small differences, where linear approximations may be used.

The multilinear function is the physical concept that is independent of the coordinate system. The concrete computations with a tensor a.k.a. multilinear function may need the computation of contravariant and/or covariant components in a particular coordinate system and the use of their transformation rules. On the other hand, the abstract formulation of the physical laws does not need such details, but only the high-level definitions using multi-linear functions, and it is independent of any choice for the coordinate system.

There is a unique multilinear function a.k.a. tensor, but it can be expressed by an infinity of different arrays of numbers, corresponding to various combinations of contravariant or covariant components, in various coordinate systems. Their transformation rules can be determined by the condition that they must represent the same function. In the books that do not explain this, the rules appear to be magic and they do not allow an understanding of why the rules are these and not others.
My gut says protein-protein interactions aren’t that useful given how these interactions scale, and on top of that you have post-translational modifications, SNVs etc. It’s a very very hard problem to solve.

Instead, we can focus on gene-gene interactions and go bottom up. There, we don’t need new wetlab techniques that needs to be validated, measure mRNA instead. Plus, an average single cell contains 40 million proteins, yet the number of mRNA molecules are orders of magnitudes less and can be sequenced with high precision.

If you for instance open KEGG database in graph mode, you will see one of the largest manually curated datasets ever. Yet it is still tiny! If you imagine A,T,G,C as alphabet, and genes as special tokens. All we know as humanity is couple of words… and it’s sad.

I think LLMs might be our best bet on these. Given few words they might uncover “new words” we have never thought about. I kinda tried this… but the methodology is still shaky.

This is beautiful and something I wanted to accomplish, in my own way, as a part of this project. I love this:

> It collects all your crap, and it puts it on a timeline.

Everything you're describing in your comment here is what I'm trying to do with PDPL, get the data out of those services so you can use it. In your case, it looks like Timeline focuses on files ("The filesystem is the database") so you could (assuming it works for you) have an output function that formats the filenames in a way that you can use and adds the date.
Airalo works well on my iPhone for travel. I had super fast data in Europe (including UK), Japan, Mexico.

IIRC the rates are not competitive compared to local plans though, so not sure if it's worth it for you.
What you've said largely tracks with my interpretation of Apple's actions here.

> I feel that to provide a full experience for the review team when you ship a feature flag you really ought to list all the behaviors that the app can possibly have, and let the review team test that if they want.

After Epic added direct purchase gated behind a feature flag to Fortnite, I'm genuinely surprised Apple didn't start requiring full control over and documentation of all downloadable configuration files as part of App Review.

"the shooting excuse" implies that the hotels have some ulterior motive for wanting to enter rooms at least once per 24 hours?

what motive would they have that is so important that they insist on spending money on low skill headcount to enter thousands of rooms per day?

honestly i'm struggling to sort out what scheme they're running that makes this headcount investment worthwhile.
I would argue that a language's ecosystem matters much more than the language itself. This is why Java is still so popular, and why certain languages are better suited to certain tasks than others. For example, if you're doing numeric or scientific related development, it's hard to beat Python even if Go itself is better, because of the great set of robust libraries you get for free. (Yes, Go has some equivalent, but not as tried and true as numpy, scipy etc.)
