Question. If you read Belarusian news, have you noticed that tut.by, being a quite decent, balanced news site in, say, 2013, 2014, in last years of its existence, maybe 2018, 2019, 2020 was quickly degrading, somewhere towards the Radio of the Thousand Hills? Deliberately falsifying the picture of reality for its readers?

(Personally, by the beginning of 2020, long before the election, I had a text in mind, called "Осторожно, tut.by". Just didn't have time to write it up and publish.)
Because we live in an era of specialization. Look at a companies job page - even startups have silos. I don't think this is strange or unusual. Its hard to be good at everything. If I'm spending 8+ hours per day doing sales, where am I going to find the time to be good at other things? Most people are working for the weekend or to spend time with their families. Diving into far off subjects related to work isn't always exciting.
And the old aluminum truck frames rotted out even worse. It's not about the metal or really the alloy but how the surface is protected using oxide conversion, better paint, and manufacturing methods which preserve these proactive measures (e.g. dont drill holes after oxide/paint applied.)

The old '61 Mack truck I have is just plain sheet metal and has a lot of rust holes in the cab and body work. My 2001 Pathfinder had a failed strut tower in 2013 from the sheet metal rusting out (well known issue Nissan screwed people with.) Newer Chevy's and so on seem to hold up decently and I hope my '22 CR-V lasts 20 years.

Hahaha okay I feel dumb now.
My first¹ computer was a 386DX with 1MB of RAM (which I quickly upgraded to 13MB as with 1MB, LaTeX compiled documents at 1 page per minute, but that was the plan all along—just trying to avoid the high cost of RAM from the computer vendor).

>In this case, the goal of the event-driven architecture isn’t that everything is event-driven. It’s that any service that’s exposed to requests that demand a response can handle them on its own.

But then, if service A can handle the user's request all on its own, without delegating any part of it to a dependency service, that's a purely request-response system. Responding to a request doesn't require emitting a single event. If responding to a request does involve posting an event and then waiting for a counterpart event, you still have the temporal coupling.
Have there been any kind of promising signs for an increase in demand for smaller cars? There's so many narrow residential streets in Ireland and the UK that are borderline undriveable now with all the big wide cars on the kerbs and sticking out of driveways.

Is it the same phenomenon as people buying massive phones even if they're literally too big for their hands to easily use.
And we've come full circle back to the original

I can’t readily find any evidence she ever said those words, and from what I can see of what she actually wrote you seem to have taken a somewhat distorted view of what she seems to have meant by transcendence and immanence. Even if an accurate impression of her views, though, there’s an implicit assumption that our current status as a species is either good, elevated, or even minimally acceptable.
But a single photon isn’t making its way ever from the core to the surface is it? Wouldn’t all the photons in the core be absorbed by all the charged particles and reemitted as new photons and thus the photons you see are photons being emitted from the surface?
I bought one recently for less than half the price of a cup of coffee. The electronics are so small that it is impossible to tell where they have been hidden, and any audio imperfections that may exist are below my personal threshold of audibility, which - if I may toot my own horn a little - is not a particularly forgiving standard. I am awed by modern technology.
If you do this in a fullscreen browser on a widescreen monitor, your peripheral vision will also come into play. You'll be able to see that the edges of the monitor are slightly different color than the center, because peripheral vision is less good at seeing color.

When I shrunk the monitor down to a narrower window, I was getting more consistent results than otherwise.

They should be concerned; these kinds of issues have led to revolutions in the past.

Canada is a prime example. We have huge amounts of available land, and 90% of that inputs to home construction are locally available. There is a huge labor pool, ready and willing and able to fuel new home construction, and a huge pool of available buyers.

However, we are seeing what can only be described as a controlled demolition of the housing industry, due to absolutely hostile regulations and a justice system that seems bent on destroying small business, especially in the housing industry.
I have not really studied this but maybe choosing the guess randomly when the number of possibilities is even is already enough to counter an adversarial opponent. Note that 50 is not the only 'optimal' guess in the beginning. 51 is just as good.
Those unfair tactics, assuming I accept they existed⁰, were not twitter's by my understanding, but reactions to the whims (or perceived possible whims) of advertisers, or the bulk of users that advertisers were there to claim the eyeballs of.

I'll caveat this by saying I've never had a twitter account or any desire for one¹ meaning my views are those of an outsider and occasionally a passive reader – but from what I can see twitter acted from a position of cowardice² rather than any political machinations.

[1] At first it was a daft novelty, then a novelty that had perhaps outstayed its welcome, then just a place far too full of people who thought twitter was a good idea, then the famous got hold of it and it became a tribal shit-show & soon after a political shit-show – all before Musk jumped in with both feet and a lot of other people's money.

[2] Hence not kicking Trump (and a few others close to him or relevant rhetoric) despite flagrant breaches of their stated policies, until such time as he was a lesser threat due to not getting a second term, and before that kicking people not because of any internal moral code but because of what advertisers might think.
Given the tone and assumptions the article makes, and the things that are explicitly explained, this seems to be one of those articles where a novice learnt something new and then decided to write an article about it, despite not having fully grasped the concept yet.

As a result, the author has such strange, absolute positions, calling it a legacy that should be abolished (only tangentially knowing some actual use cases), or that strange quote about design principles.

Despite all the talk about security, the whole debacle that argc can be 0 (and argv[0] can be NULL), is completely left aside. This has caused actual security issues quite recently[1].

In college especially before a test my brain was on study mode and would not turn off. Most often I couldn't sleep because I was trying to solve a problem. There was no problem it was just nonsense and no solution. I was going through the motions of it but it was pointless. I wish my brain actually would have worked on actual problems while I slept.

edit: I also recall when I was a naive late teen early 20s "song writer" (wannabe) I would often wake up with lyrics. They were also nonsense. Literally. I had a notepad and wrote what I thought was great but it was just gibberish.
Haha I’ve had this argument with friends, you have to start them out with 2x is “100% more” the way percentages are used far and wide, and then they get it.
History of economic thought should be covered in Economics 101 to really drive this point home. Going through the entire history of the discipline you recognize that the practical purpose of economics is mainly serving to justify a society wide experiment on why the latest theory is wrong.
That quote does not imply anything about C macro being better in any way, but I am nevertheless delighted that you could prove me wrong somehow. Thank you for this!

My Librem 14 has disabled ME; my Librem 15 has both disabled and neutralized ME. Both with Heads, TPM and Librem Key. I don't understand how the difference between disabled and neutralized matters here.
your point is valid but you cannot have a static answer list.

if I started off by guessing 50 twice you're cooked. or 50 and 52.

If you know the right identifiers, you should be able to use WebUSB to access a flash drive/external hard drive. Combined with C-to-WASM compilers and Linux driver code, I'm sure you can defragment from the browser alone.

Or you can hook this mechanism into one of the WASM x64 emulators and attach the drive directly to a copy of MS-DOS or Windows 98 running in the browser.
Rigidity is not thought to be about attributes of the markets, it is a consequence of the productive process that belies them. That it only applies to inefficient markets is circular reasoning, if rigidity makes a market inefficent then surely it applies to inefficient markets.

Stock markets are ultimately downstream of production, it is impossible to divorce the efficiency of commodity markets from the efficiency of capital markets. Rigidity is contagious.

Firms with sticky prices are wildly considered to incur costs and more negative responses to various macroeconomic conditions, and those costs reduce the valuation of equities, so the inefficiency in production is reflected in equity prices. If prices were not rigid we would see different equity prices.

You can try to fix this by looking at every transaction level in isolation and baking in the bias of the next level, but then you're no longer making a statement about the economy and the efficiency of price signals.

Instead, you're making an essentially unverifiable statement about the profitability of a limited set of strategies restricted to long/short positions in equities only (which on average is forced to be exactly equal to the market price since every transaction needs a counterparty):

Even if there is a hidden variable that makes some strategies better, it will most likely be impossible to pick out which strategies are better because of luck and which are better for a reason if you are modelling the null hypothesis as some sort of random walk with long tail event, the hidden variable will most likely be lost in the noise.

You can also try testing it by looking at prices directly, in which case Roll's critique holds.

In short, as a broader theory to apply to economic relations and economic calculation, the EMH doesn't hold. As a narrow theory of the profitability of certain trading strategies, it's unverifiable.
You weren't conscious of the sound before you were conscious of the sound. You can of course be conscious of things that you're not paying attention to, but in that case you know they're there.

Makes perfect sense now.

That is a really clever joke.
Got it working on my mac, a little delayed but usable. I started with a python problem and then started lying to it about how their suggestion opened a new dimension to hell and demons were now in my house. Then there was the weirdest sounding audio glitch (like demonic sounding) and then it said "just make sure to follow the right command and sequence of actions". Soo 10/10?
Then by that framing, the test is asking you to decide what hue value is the "zero" between the positive/negative blue/green. Is the wording imperfect? Sure, but the intent was still entirely clear.
Technical is just a code word for "having a detailed understanding of something".

Almost everything is technical if you focus on it long enough, because almost everything is complicated.

This is because almost everything interacts with the real world, which is hellishly complicated and detailed.

> I have a question—should we determine whether a degree is useful or useless based on how much money you can earn using the degree? My answer is no, for the following reason: degrees provide some benefits other than benefits that can be directly realized as salary. If you put universities on the hook for student financial outcomes, what you’ve created is a lever for people to dismantle humanities in universities. You can dismantle the arts, literature, sociology, history, and philosophy.

I would agree with this if these degrees didn't require a near-catastrophic load of debt. You mention that we should be looking to bring down tuition costs instead, and while that's a good idea, I think it's a little bit of a distraction from the reality that universities are acting in a predatory capacity. They dress it up in flowery academic terms, but the reality is that one credit hour of math is far more valuable than one credit hour of ancient Roman history, yet they cost the same.

It's one thing if you want to tell students it's their responsibility to recognize the bad return on investment for liberal arts studies, and universities are just bastions of free thought who can't be expected to put a price tag on the beauty of knowledge or whatever.

But students don't have a choice -- they have to take some of these courses for "general education" requirements not directly related to their field of study. So fully half of an engineering student's mandatory costs are credit hours that are a bad return on investment.
> it would be much better to examine the internal state and activity of a "thinking system" directly

The particular problem here is complexity management. The 'problem' with thinking is it is a system, very possibly one of the largest and most complex systems we know about. Thinking as we know it in DNA based life is something that's at least 500 million years old and developed a few bits at a time. There is no unwinding the different components of the thinking from each other. Motor skills, reactions, learning, etc are all compressed and mixed together in the same code.

So, going from top down isn't working. But going the other way isn't working either. The computational complexity of a system that gets anywhere close to a biological thinking system requires quadrillions of calculations.

Those also make your language easier to parse, and to read.

Many people insist that IDEs make the entire point moot, but that's the kind of thing that make IDEs easier to write and debug, so I disagree.
You end up with more smaller tasks.

A big part of the idea with my system is that you only identify 5 tasks at a time. Anything more then that and it becomes overwhelming. So the idea is to peel off the first 5 actionable tasks from your project(s), deal with those before thinking further about the project.

Yes this implies having a general sense of how to accomplish the project and the tasks involved, but no it does not mean you need to have a master plan with every step mapped out. Every 5 steps you get to re-assess and course correct.

> Given that 7 guesses covers 128 numbers

I might be confused, but don't 7 guesses actually cover 255 numbers? I think you have to count all nodes in the search tree, not only the leafs, because you can get the correct number before reaching a leaf node.

Or more generally k guesses cover 2^(k+1)-1 numbers,
e.g. with one guess you get the answers correct/high/low, which can cover 3 numbers)

Maybe there is a mistake in my thinking, because this would mean you can cover 127 numbers with 6 guesses so you could not lose the original game.

Edit: My mistake is that you still have to explicitly guess even if you know the precise answer already, so you cannot cover 3 numbers with 1 guess. This means 7 guesses cover 127 numbers.
Can something posses extrinsic properties? Or are them a intrinsic property of external things?
Making progress on routing security: the new White House roadmap
The high and low frequency components of speech are produced and perceived in different ways.

The lower frequencies (roughly below 4KHz) are created by the vocal chords opening and closing at the fundamental frequency, and harmonics of this fundamental frequency (e.g. 100Hz + 2/3/400Hz etc harmonics), with this frequency spectrum then being modulated by the resonances of the vocal tract which change during pronunciation. What we perceive as speech is primarily the changes to these resonances (aka formants) due to articulation/pronunciation.

The higher frequencies present in speech mostly comes from "white noise" created by the turbulence of forcing air out through closed teeth/etc (e.g. "S" sound), and our perception of these "fricative" speech sounds is based on onset/offset of energy in these higher 4-8KHz frequencies. Frequencies above 8KHz are not very perceptually relevant, and may be filtered out (e.g. not present in analog telephone speech).
OpenZFS Capacity Calculator
I think OP is referring to brokers and market makers, whose role is to help match buyers and sellers and to maintain liquidity in certain securities, respectively. In which case the time scale would be small (you don’t want to be caught holding something for too long if you’re just a middle man)
It doesn’t really abort the rest, it just prioritizes the selection of a first catch-path as a current continuation. The rest is still thenable, and there’s no “abort promise” operation in general. There are abort signals, but it’s up to an async process to accept a signal and decide when/whether to check it.
And it follows that making a market inefficient through nefarious tactics allows said entities to continue to make a very good living.
I believe you’d have to do a game theory analysis to actually get the answer (compute the mixed strategy that produces a Nash equilibrium). My intuition is that this yields <0 EV (because it’s already so small against a uniformly random strategy, which can’t be optimal) but I didn’t do the calculation.
Right, they also tend to use special tools to crunch their binaries down to acceptable size, afaik.

That said, that's a very good point. Maybe they'd even use that fmt library?
One thing which works for C is to search something like `[a-z] foo\(.+\) \{` assuming that spacing matches the coding style, often the shorter form `[a-z] foo\(` works well, which tries to ensure there is a type definition and bin assignment or something before name. Then there is only a handful false positives.

If she had the goal of altering MY story for the org's benefit, then she would be far more likely to have me believe that she took my story at face value, then change it later without my knowing.

Why else would she tell me a falsified version of my own narrative and bring those errors to my attention?

Legally for them, that would be a terrible idea. If she's tasked with receiving allegations then their legal team will be interested in knowing exactly what is believed and what accusations are on the table. They definitely do not want some clerical worker faking a story and masking issues that have a real chance of being substantiated or argued in a court case someday. If I'm lying or fabricating then they'd also want a reliable record in their favor in court. The reporting office is motivated for accuracy and that's exactly why she challenged my facts, so that I could reinforce them through repetition and clarification.
