No, I was referring to a different time constant: the τ such that the number of times the whiskey priest[0] falls off the wagon[1] occuring at t<τ equals the number of times the decay occurs at t>τ.

So, just like the quantum watched pot never boils, the up-through-sales CEO would, out of habit alone, keep nurturing[2] their company officers — staying in touch (t<<τ) and shepherding them away from personal and towards corporate goals.

(My hypothesis being that an up-through-engineering CEO, not finding this behaviour natural, would have to make an explicit attempt to do so, and hence might experience severe cultural issues dealing with people who can deliver a great deal of value under the right leadership but require steady, if small[3][4], external inputs to keep them in the fold.)

Web 2.0: The Sleep Of Reason (2007)
countries i think don't comit acts of war randomly without annoucement or claim. This in itself would be borderline criminal, though i'm not sure if it's an actual thing noted in the geneva conventions. Those do state that any act of war should give an opportunity for retaliation. So in essence this is just as criminal as bombing people using armed drones, because these fighters did not have any opportunity to strike back.

Both libarchive ("bsdtar") and GNU tar have -a, which I guess are the only two upstream tar implementations that are still relevant? You're right, it can take a while for these things to propagate downstream though.
Haven't used WhatsApp but presumably it indexes client-side. On Discord people want to search large servers including messages since before they joined, so this approach wouldn't really work.

Interesting response.

> You’re talking about formal science. Therapy and much of the things that take place in psychology aren’t formal.

It's not formal. It's the most common definition.

knowledge or a system of knowledge covering general truths or the operation of general laws especially as obtained and tested through scientific method

https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/science

Look, if you can't actually use your theory to predict with any modicum of success, it's not science, it's philosophy. Which isn't bad per se, but it shouldn't be used for any real life application.

If you are familiar with psychology, then you are aware of the damage Freud ""theories"" that showed to be extremely unreliable. To me, that's the real danger of mixing philosophy with science. People confuse what they think is correct with reality.

According to Aristotelian Philosophy, there are only four elements and you can't disprove it. It's all the 5th element playing tricks on you.

> I can read between the lines but choose not to.

If you aren't ready to read it with a critical eye, then you'll fall for the PR in it. The point of the newcomer guidebook is to sell new guys on the benefits of organization, and push away people who don't fit that mold.

> “concentration camp” and torture

That's the extreme point of your statement. And you confirmed it. To me, that crosses several ethic and formalism bridges.

Even if it wasn't utterly immoral to do that test, it wouldn't give you any usable knowledge because of confounding factors.

I made an offhand remark, that it's quite literally the anti-anti-rape slogan. And I discarded that, so why are you still going about it?

This was in the middle of the Lebanese civil war in 1982 , the Lebanese government had no control over anything.

Furthermore, after the Israeli entered Lebanon in 1982, they didn’t fully leave the country until 2000, which is what caused the founding of hezbollah in 1982, and the perception of hezbollah as a resistance movement since then.

Basically the Lebanese see Israel has having attacked then occupied a part of Lebanon for about 20 years, between 1982 and 2000 - this is recent enough for most people to relate to it.

IMHO, when there are millions struggling for limited resources it creates a culture of competition. You can see this is every facet of life in India. In my time in India, I met my fair share of toxic managers (e.g. leaving at 6 PM we were asked why were we leaving for "half-day"), probably had very few genuinely nice and kind managers.

Western media has full control over information and if Ukrainians would do something like this, no one would even know.

There were multiple cases of Ukrainians doing something evil or borderline evil that were swept under the rug. One of the recent examples is the cassette munition explosion over a beach in Sevastopol, which killed few children and wounded a hundred of people. I stopped following the war closely but it got my attention because that's my home town. And in this case I even agree that the rocket wasn't specifically targeting the beach (that would be stupid), it was likely targeting the nearby airbase; but that's not the point.The point is that every single time something like this happens, it gets silenced.

There are multiple high-quality videos of the explosion recorded from different angles. On Reddit, a high-quality video of an even like this, surreal and frightening, would otherwise have been upvoted to skies. But not when it puts Ukrainians in bad light! One the next day, as a random Reddit user, you'd never even know about this event (I wonder how many people know about this at all).

And again, this is just one example. I can probably collect few hundreds of cases likes this over the first two years of the war, where as a Western media consumer you would never know about something that could potentially change your opinion on the conflict. And just like this, you're being manipulated. Of course, so are the Russians who solely rely on Russian news sources. The only way to know the truth is to follow both sides closely, especially to what each side hides and silences. You'd be surprised.
Or that these Unit 8200 alumni aren't dismissed "C-players", not good enough for them?
This explains why I was confused by this. I moved to LT many, many years ago, and didn’t know about those new Grammarly features. So I really wasn’t clear how rewriting a specific text had anything to do with Grammarly.
If the pagers had been equipped with lasers that caused blindness, there is a Geneva Convention protocol going back to 1995[0].

I would like to think that the spirit behind that protocol is that the intent to cause permanent blindness in your opponent should be considered a crime. And not that it's not a crime so long as you don't use a laser to do it.

So you can put me in the camp of "this should be considered a war crime", even if it's not in any books yet.

The one time I interviewed for a consultancy position, I felt "burn-out" from the interview itself. Under the veneer of “here we value always learning, see I was learning about field X this week, and field Y the week before”, the subtext was: you are not going to have a balanced life, cheerful fresh grad.

It took me a bit to process why I felt so uncomfortable after the interview. Then a friend made it clear to me: you weren’t interviewing for a tech company, but for a consulting company (which works on tech solutions).

I was thrown a curveball question in the partner’s domain of expertise which I managed to sort-of-answer, only to be told “Oh, I didn’t expect you to be able to answer.” Wtf? And in the end, it was made clear I wouldn’t be compensated much.

The only time ime where the interviewer failed my “interview”.

The sad thing is that these kinds of positions seem like the only viable path for some. And that this kind of grind is presented as the proper thing to engage in.

I wish the best for the bereaved and the deceased.

On the other hand, this is a protectionist policy that has been straining US' relations with its allies. That development means the US empire is a little less mutually beneficial, and a little more beneficial to the core.

Its success requires these allies not to reciprocate, and this is a long-term prospect that only time will confirm.

here's a bookmark from a few days ago:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aqhTRQ--x_Q #video on #China/#USA politics trying to keep out electric vehicles with 100% tariffs while US car companies spend their government EV research grants on stock buybacks. High-end electric cars, electric dumptrucks, and even electric mopeds support battery-change recharging; it’s commercially deployed. They’re very impressed with how advanced all the Chinese cars are, and also positively impressed with how accommodating the auto parts manufacturers they met with were, especially by contrast to US and Canadian companies.

a thing i didn't mention in that bookmark is that the prc-company-made equivalent to the (prc-made) tesla model y (still the most popular car in the prc) is one fourth of the price

I think the most tragic of all is that, based on my experiences in both startups and corporate cultures, most of that work people are killing themselves for is just "busywork" handed to them by managers who themselves don't know any better.

The amount of waste in human energy & effort in pointless jobs that optimise for "being busy" is, as far as 1st-world problems are concerned, a humanitarian tragedy.

Agreed, indeed I thought that "Copy the contents of rbx to rax" might be even clearer (mov doesn't remove the value from rbx IIUC!)
I always thought that the "rule" referred to is that "all rules have exceptions" (R1). i.e. there's a rule (in this case "only men with big beards can tame a unix system" (R2)) which, however, has an exception ("girls in dinosaur themeparks can also do so" (E1)). Therefore, the R1 is, once again, shown to be true.

Hmmm... self-referential vibes coming here. It might be that the only exception to the R1 is itself, but then... etc.
> It's actually a pretty common law to have in some form to penalize tax evasion and capital flight.

In basically every other country you don't get taxed when you haven't even lived in the country for years/decades.

I think the only other countries that tax their citizens in other countries like that are North Korea and Eritrea.

It's about as definitive a form of taxation without representation as I can imagine...
What screen reader did you use? NVDA didn't really choke on it. The dialog for downloading is weird though - it just announces a dialog and then sign up/login links (which are double labeled). The weird spacing that a lot of PDFs have makes the speech synthesizer slightly mispronounce words right before line breaks though. I would say the PDF itself is more accessible than the process provided to download it.

TLDR: the article posted is not really about billiards at all. But I guess HN culture has degenerated to such an extent that the top comment is a response to the title, not the content. Not that your comment is incorrect, I've played snooker a few times on a full size table but also wasted countless hours of a UK childhood watching it on TV. It's just... not really in any way relevant to what the article is actually about.

It wasn't wrong, just too early.

At the time international trade was still fairly minor, so although a war would be deeply unprofitable it'd still be possible. Today's economy looks quite different, with even basic consumer goods coming from overseas. If international trade were to suddenly cease, most major countries would be in serious trouble really quickly.

The most extreme example of this is the European Union. Its economies are so deeply interwoven that they act as a single entity. Separating them to the point that one of its members can independently support a war economy would take decades, so it does indeed make intra-European wars virtually impossible.
Marketing... These not-so-famous-yet Chinese firms have picked up what the West has been doing and are trying to cut out the middle-man. Essentially the West's MO has been to buy cheap no-name generic stuff from china, have them colored/branded/packaged, and then slap on all the necessary product packaging stuff on the packaging (including a "Name"). Essentially acting as a middle-man that doesn't actually produce the product, barely does any QA and just adds a thin veneer of this being an actual "company" that manufactures and sells this product. Sometimes they use a fancy term like "white labeling".

Here is such a company in the South African context that's super obvious about it:

Does “government intervention” include subsidies and R&D, in your account? I can think of more than a few industry segments (aerospace, biotech, etc.) that likely wouldn’t exist or be nearly as lucrative as they currently are without the extensive government intervention that helped build them.
If a callback function gets really unwieldy then you should probably extract it from the call site and define it elsewhere, but that should happen because you decided to, not because the language's limitations coerced you into doing it. The lambda restrictions in Python are probably due to the complexities of parsing indentation based languages, and the clean code argument is just a helpful rationalization. I've never woken up in angst over the fact that I wrote a callback function with two statements in it.

Show HN: Archikoder Lens – A VSCode extension to view code structure in graphs
Have you even written an original essay, article, or research thesis? Those thoughts are entirely of your creation or finding from evidence as well as the organization thereof. Original software is no different in that you are writing both the solutions and the architecture.

It sounds like this originality should be slow and of great challenge. It isn’t. With practice the words just appear in the correct order as fast as they are typed.

In the overwhelming majority of full stack jobs that level of originality does not exist. Most of these jobs, and the developers filling them, are utterly reliant upon large tool sets of prior formulated architectures. These large frameworks rob the developers of the practice necessary to become faster in their solution delivery and cripple their ability to consider answers of their own design.

As an example consider state management. That is an astonishingly simple problem to solve, essentially saving a result of modification for later artifact generation. With these large frameworks, however, the solution becomes a complex science to compensate for modularity considerations introduced by the frameworks that do not otherwise exist. For developers that have never written an original application without one of these large frameworks the simplicity of the solution is almost impossible to fathom, thus resulting in solutions of complexity outside their control and no ability for consideration of alternatives.

You're throwing "criminal" around without, I suspect, understanding the laws of warfare. Blowing enemy operatives isn't criminal (even if some civilians get hurt - within reason; here's the ratio of militants to civilians hurt is virtually unheard of, in a positive way). Bombing militants from above, whether by airplane or drone isn't criminal, and nothing in the laws of warfare claims you need to let the enemy an opportunity to strike back.

I miss the magic SysRq key... Xorg / graphical systems blocked it decades ago, I've forgotten how to invoke it without looking it up, though I do remember REISUB.

The security perspective of the SysRq commands is: a human is on a hard-wired console. If they want they can pull the power or press buttons on the outside of the PC that aren't on the keyboard. It's probably OK to obey some small list of actions that are useful when the rest of the system might be unresponsive.
Tbh I've not had trouble with this for personal use.
It's a continuous process checking the training data is from the same "distribution". Usually through automated pipelines running against the ingested training data (i.e. once you've got the new data fully processed and ready for training, but prior to actually training the model).

In the pipelines you do some checks on statistical outliers/differences. Check the current training data against historical versions of the training set. If anything goes beyond some specified tolerances you highlight that for manual testing/checks.

Using the toy example from before, something like checking the sum of orders per customers in a month compared to the last N months. If the maximum per customer orders this month is 100x higher than any previous month then something has significantly changed in the data. May affect training, we need to investigate this.

If you've identified some statistical changes/differences, that's usually where someone needs to investigate in more depth. Train a dev model on the brand new training data. Pass multiple unseen test dataset(s) through it. What happens?

* Is global test accuracy up or down?

* Is robustness affected?

* Is the accuracy degrading for specific classes?

* How does this compare to drifts we've seen before?

Then you make decisions about whether you need to:

* exclude parts of the new training data?

* tweak some model hyperparameters?

* tweak the architecture of the model?

There's no single right answer on what to do at this point. This is the difficult and expensive bit of machine learning. It requires a lot of continuous experimentation even after you've got something running initially.
Gold Apollo, the company whose brand was on the devices says they did not manufacture them, they only licensed their brand to BAC, a Hungarian company. Well, I'm sure income from licensing fees in their accounting books say differently. You profit from it, you should pay for it.

Looking at all the corpo legal/HR departments really has to make you think - those are people that are paid to aggresively look for legal loopholes, to defeat the spirit of laws and to make sure that the corporation always has the advantage against the society and workforce they exist nearby. There's decades upon decades of man hours being put into chipping away the effectiveness of tax, workplace and other laws and finding loopholes to make them ineffective. We've been at war and we never even noticed.
