I don't think they think this is a problem actually. Content edited replays are actually very popular with sports fans who are time shifting. Time shifting is also an afterthought for the NFL / MLB / NHL from what I can tell. I live in Seattle but grew up in the midwest so time shift a ton of sports and it's always been horrific.

I'm more comparing Thursday Night Football and the quality of the encoding than anything. Delivery glitches are a seperate issue that I think they care about less.

NFL: 90+ minutes after the match on NFL Gameday, and it auto plays the most recent video for that team, which is always the post game interview. So you load it up, go to your team and it auto plays the "we won" or "it was a tough loss" like why the f*ck am I paying for a dvr solution when you do that. NFL Sunday Ticket: you can watch the games sometime monday after the fact but not the sunday night games. Good thing I paid well below half price for it with a disciount.

NHL: constantly shifting networks each year with worse solutions and not letting you get to half the previous games after a week. Totally useless for deferred unless you only want to watch the game a day or more after. Fubo, you have to 'record' the game and sometimes it's on a slightly different network and doesn't record. And their blackout system is the worst of all, who cares about your mediocre local team sorry you can't watch Chefs/Bills because they overlapped by some amount.

MLB: always broken at the top of the year, constantly changing the interface. You often get stuck watching the commercial break which is not actually commercials and is just the same "ohtani / judge highlight video from 2 years ago" and a "stat" about the sluggers that is almost an entire season out of date. The app resets when switching from the live CDN to the on demand one once the game ends which often resets the game and jumps you 6 innings forward, or makes the game unavialable for 30 minutes.

And EFF you if you want to watch playoffs on any of them.

Great question— thanks for asking!

Verifying the metabolic processes in composting is a bit of a mix between understanding composting fundamentals and interpreting the data we collect. The processes are highly dependent on factors like feedstock type and volume. For example, a sudden spike in temperature might be due to an addition of nitrogen-rich materials or a recent turning of the pile—both of which can accelerate microbial activity.

While our sensors provide 24/7 data on temperature, gas composition, and more, there are always factors we can’t directly see or control for, like the exact distribution of materials within the pile. That’s where a bit of interpretation comes in: matching what the data is telling us with the fundamentals of composting.

By combining real-time monitoring with an understanding of what’s happening in the pile, users can make informed decisions to keep their composting process on track. It’s not an exact science, but the extra data helps a lot!
The problem with appetite suppression drugs is that they simply make you not feel hungry, but do nothing to fix your lack of discipline and self-control, I'm sure most people who lose weight on these drugs, and then come off, will just go back to their bad habits.
One idea I had for a VB6 clone is prototyping of GUI's for deployment in any language. Obviously, just for simple, utility-style apps or web pages. The concept is to throw together a GUI, use VB6 to make it look right, save the form to a file, and convert that file into another GUI library.

Since I've been learning Python, I decided to try to prototype this idea with a naive VB6 to HTML conversion. The way its done maintains the properties of the controls so any backend could be used. The HTML is semi-useful templates at the moment.

Here's a temporary link showing each step:

If it doesn't already exist, you could make this easier with an Export as XML (or JSON) option that supports easy parsing by any language with a XML/JSON library. They can use a list or tree depending on how they want to compose things.

From there, people wanting to build on it would have to add controls to your project (or placeholders for them) that match their own libraries.
> Exactly, the legal system's job is not necessarily finding the truth.

The system purpose is to try and find the truth, because that helps society function, but is imperfect. It is good enough, so far, to keep society functioning, though its imperfection allows injustice to happen.

> It's who can convince the judge/jury better even if they use nasty tactics.

The adversarial system[1] does result in nasty tactics emerging, and I think there is room there for improvement.

Well there's a balance. You get some really nice benefits from incorporating, but you also suffer some be restrictions.

Some businesses decide the benefits outweigh the restrictions, others do not.
It's probably just money laundering.
Just the former is likely enough over a 6 month span, even without great genetics. That's only a 1.6lb/week loss. Noob gains can be huge.
> Everything "weird" in his work serves the narrative and those themes.

The problem here is you are confusing your own subjective interpretation with objective meaning and intention.

> If you had spent any time thinking critically about any of his films you would understand that, but you clearly haven't.

I've been studying and writing about film for about 20 years, lol. I've also made a few films.

Just because I disagree with you, doesn't mean I didn't think critically, nor does it mean I'm wrong.

> The AIs also disagree with you.

LOL! What do you think that proves? Honestly? They are just regurgitating opinions like yours, many of which are overly pretentious defensive nonsense.

> The "weird" elements aren't arbitrary but emerge organically from the story's emotional core.

He makes waking dreams.

Dreams are defined by weirdness.

So it's perfectly in line with making a dream to be weird for the sake of weird, hell, it's basically a requirement.

> I think AI would actually struggle to replicate Lynch's work precisely because it's not random weirdness

Some of the AI produced trailers are already unintentionally pretty Lynchian.

> it's a complex interweaving of personal obsessions, cultural critique, and psychological insight v

His personal obsessions are well known and recurring in his films, so easy for an AI to draw from.

His cultural critiques are superficial at best, and never the main point, but again is for an AI to draw from an imitate.

I would say there was psychological insight so much as there is psychological exploration.

> expressed through a unique artistic vocabulary he's developed over decades.

Yes, this is what I referred to as being weird for the sake of weird.

> The "atmosphere" in his films isn't just surface-level strangeness but rather the manifestation of deeper themes and emotions.

That also doesn't conflict with anything I claimed earlier.

Where we disagree is how deep his films are. You think they're something truly insightful with a lot of thought behind them, I disagree and see it as closer to a Scrotie McBoogerballs situation.
>A nice sentiment but clearly a large % of people never do learn even basic mathematical thinking and seem very confused by it

Any healthy/able individual could learn to deadlift twice their bodyweight with sufficient training, but the vast majority of people never reach this basic fitness milestone, because they don't put any time into achieving it. There's a very large gap between what people are capable of theoretically and what they achieve in practice.
Curious - how many containers and machines images these days come with uv by default?
Before smart phones or the rise of the internet your information was mined by credit agencies for use by banks, employers and other forms of credit lending.

Credit cards and Banks sold your data to third parties for marketing purposes.

Payroll companies like ADP also shared your data with the credit agencies.

This is not a new phenomenon and has been the currency of a number of industries for a while.

The only thing that has changed is the types of data collected. Personally, I think these older forms of data collection are quite a bit more insidious than some of the data mining done by a game like Niantic for some ml model.

I have a lot more control over and less insidious consequences from these types of data collection. I can avoid the game or service if I like. There isn't much I can do to prevent a credit agency from collecting my data.

While your example isn't exactly coherent (I don't think GDPR would cover photos/videos taken by the user, unless maybe the user was in the photo/video?), presumably they could just train the model again without that user's data. I doubt the end result would be that much different
> So is there some scientific study backing up the claim that all these people could easily learn it [emphasis added]

Who said it would be easy?
I agree with the sentiment of this. I think our obsession with innate mathematical skill and genius is so detrimental to the growth mindset that you need to have in order to learn things.

I've been working a lot on my math skills lately (as an adult). A mindset I've had in the past is that "if it's hard, then that means you've hit your ceiling and you're wasting your time." But really, the opposite is true. If it's easy, then it means you already know this material, and you're wasting your time.
I would love somebody to post a better source than X for this work. I have questions. I tried search on his name but it's not finding the paper. Google scholar for him doesn't have this work.
I'm confused by both this blog post, and the reception on HN. They... didn't actually train the model. This is an announcement of a plan! They don't actually know if it'll even work. They announced that they "trained over 50 million neural networks," but not that they've trained this neural network: the other networks appear to just have been things they were doing anyway (i.e. the "Virtual Positioning Systems"). They tout huge parameter counts ("over 150 trillion"), but that appears to be the sum of the parameters of the 50 million models they've previously trained, which implies each model had an average of... 3MM parameters. Not exactly groundbreaking scale. You could train one a single consumer GPU.

This is a vision document, presumably intended to position Niantic as an AI company (and thus worthy of being showered with funding), instead of a mobile gaming company, mainly on the merit of the data they've collected rather than their prowess at training large models.
I agree norms are a distraction. It's about incentives. Every group/organization has an incentive to look strong to outsiders. It therefore minimizes internal conflict because that makes it weak. It most importantly minimizes visible conflict because it makes it _look_ weak.

However, every group/organization is just a collection of its members who each have different incentives. For some of those, it's gaining status/power. Status/power is mostly a zero-sum game, therefore gaining it requires attacking others (causing conflict). But causing visible conflict is damaging to the group so other members are likely to punish such behavior. As a result, the optimal strategy is to cause conduct conflict invisibly.

Bullying is nothing more than such a parasitic individual trying to achieve status/power or in some cases simply satisfaction.
Wow, been doing this for twenty years—didn't know it was "a thing"!
While I have no way to validate this, I highly suspect that the routing algorithm is also subtly manipulated. There is a route I drive with regular frequency that contains a roughly 20 mile section of two mostly parallel roads, one for through traffic and one for local. Every single time I drive through, Google routes me to the local traffic road. I know for certain the local road is slightly slower and it's also simply incorrect. The only way it makes sense is if it's a bug, or my hunch is that Google weights the route a little higher because it goes by a bunch of businesses that pay for advertising.
A good reason not to use it is that 49::"char"::int == 49, but 49::"char"::smallint == 1. In other words, int casts directly interpret the value as an integer, but smallint (and bigint) casts interpret it as an ASCII character, '1', which they then convert to the integer 1.
China. It's trivial to purchase retatrutide, semaglutide, tirzepatide, and a wide variety of other peptides from Chinese labs, and for pennies on the dollar compared even to compounding pharmacy prices.
Kindergarten is free in the US. Also the vast majority of people pay a relatively small amount of their income for health insurance (and of course it’s free for 65+ who are the primary consumers).
Under certain circumstances, like where machines are not directly accessible to each other and you’re only able to connect by Remote Desktop or something, that’s not actually bad way to do that. But for machines that are on the same network, using a weird invocation of tar and nc instead of just using, say, rsync is an odd choice. And for machines connected to each other over the Internet, it’s positively insane.
> which ironically saved the first 2 against the last one otherwise

I think you're forgetting somebody important? Another country that was actually on the beaches in Normandy?
I believe Google explicitly stated that they used data collected from Ingress (arguably a predecessor to Pokemon Go) at the time. It's the reason Niantic was founded. It's hard to take these complaints seriously.
A caloric deficit that allows a continuous weight loss of 1.6 lbs a week for 6 months is significant enough to completely wreck your hormonal profile and put you in constant catabolic state, I doubt you would be able to put on any noticeable amount of muscle mass even during your noob gains phase in that context.
When I went to college, two of the calc professors were married. They co-authored the calc book… for calc 1, 2, and 3. Did not matter which class you were taking, (1,2, or 3) one was required to buy the whole book.

They changed the problem sets once a year. So at minimum you were basically obligated to buy the book twice, if not 3 times.
> I don’t get why headers and requests need to be spoofed if all traffic is over https?

Because the traffic is to a CDN endpoint (like Cloudflare) which expects it to be a HTTP message.
Yes, it is Pakistan.
This is very similar to my prior with NetBSD and life on a dell, and then an older Thinkpad model, brought into a new era.

Basically, you can love an OS but wind up frustrated by the lack of progress against modern hardware. Things which "don't matter" to core, wind up affecting your lived experience because you don't only work with "core" but with people in your #dayjob who expect their lived experience in Windows or OSX or Linux to work on you, and pass you work related content or tasks you cannot directly do the way they expect, because .. your OS choice isn't tractable for that problem.

I still retain a fondness for NetBSD. I haven't used it in anger for over 2 decades. I do work in FreeBSD but increasingly marginalised. Great OS. hard to live in, when you need to inter-op with people for outcomes beyond the tty.

I will say that modulo a working GPU, or accepting non-accellerated, non-decorated X, if you have a browser which supports javascript and conforms to the expectations of O365, almost anything can be done fine. Audio/Video gets a bit harder sometimes, but mostly it's fine.

I do worry modern Oauth2/MFA is going to kill the free OS. I now depend on some python3 code to make the nmh mail client work for me, hacking around company policy.
I won't comment on the broader point about how insular countries are becoming, but on this specific topic I'd say that the international reaction to global warming, which appears to be a very similar situation, shows exactly how little action is likely to happen.
Sure they can, but niantic offered a free game, I already got some profit out of playing it.
Having lived under a dictatorship I find it very offensive when people claim America isn’t free. Get some perspective please.
I think the point is that a correct analytical result needs to be computed for all shapes at once. You can't composite overlapping shapes individually, since the alpha value (subpixel coverage), even if analytically correct, is lossy; you lose the information about the exact subpixel geometry, which is needed to do correct compositing (eg. does this shape completely occlude this other one within this pixel?). The standard Porter-Duff blend function assumes the subpixel geometry is a uniform random mist, which is not necessarily a great assumption for AA.

the 3 centuries of progress started by Peter The Great - importing European values, educated people and technology, science and education - made that Grand Duchy of Moscow into the, in various times in various aspects, great country of Russia (Russian Empire, USSR). Peter The Great "opened windows" into Europe and to Caucasus (for example in the military expedition of 1724 Peter The Great signed treaty with the Armenian dukes). Putin had been actively reversing that process - under him Russia rejected European values, kicked out or suppressed many educated people, and the Russian tech, science and education is going straight downhill. Putin "closed the European and Caucasus windows". Russia is quickly returning back to that state of the backwater Grand Duchy of Moscow.

No. The space junk at a given orbit makes it unviable to put more satellites in that orbit, but launching beyond that orbit is still viable.
404. But have you heard the term "bimodal distribution"?

I'm sorry but the text you quoted is nonsense. Alien exozoologists could very well write about Homo sapiens "rarely they are born without brains, and die quickly." They would be correct to do so. However, this is quite a minute and usually irrelevant feature of the species. If they go into enough detail, they would write it.

There are more transgender people born than anencephalic people (... if they can even be called that).

And sterile people aren't non-people. They are people, so a very detailed description of the species would say that some people are sterile, sometimes because they are intersex.

> All “intersex” conditions, when examined, clearly arise from single-gene mutations or chromosomal aberrations on a genetic background that would have indisputably been producing male or female gametes had these mutations not occurred

so what? this is meaningless. This is searching for plausible sounding arguments to justify a desired conclusion.

> Therefore the “intersex” argument against the sex binary is simply not valid. Intersex individuals exist

therefore sex is not completely binary. It doesn't matter why. You are reaching for plausible sounding arguments, that on closer inspection still make no sense. Some people are male, some are female, and some are neither, therefore, it is not true that all people are male or female. QED. This is very basic logic. Defying very basic logic is nonsense. You might as well argue that 1+1=3, we just haven't seen it yet.

> Sex in mammals is on a fundamental level binary and immutable

What would it take to disprove this for you? I have a feeling that if someone designed a gender change ray that could convert a human male into a human female, in all aspects including cellular genetics, genitals, and brain structure, you'd still say sex was immutable and the ray didn't really do that.

> claims that “intersex'” individuals disprove that can only be made in the absence of any consideration of the biological nature of humans

Claims that sex is strictly binary, rather than bimodal, can only be made while looking the emperor in the eye and saying his clothes are gorgeous. Intersex people exist, and they are not male or female - that's the definition. But you don't want to hear it, and would rather pretend they somehow don't count. That's the denial here.

Alternatively, perhaps you believe that sex is a property that is not shared by all people. That is, perhaps you believe that some people do not have a sex. Is this the case?

Keep in mind: just because something is on pubmed, doesn't make it true. "Trust the science" is bullshit, right?
Not just collecting for discovery - but reviewing. Manually.
Ironically this is what caused the fall of the Soviet Union.
It takes about 90 minutes to complete a low earth orbit. A rocket can't hover in place for 90 minutes at the same altitude, then increase its altitude by its height and repeat. It doesn't have enough fuel for that.
About systemd: there was one proposal for systemd equivalent for openbsd, but it got cancelled in the start.
the only thing i know of is "launchd" (not sure its the exact name), that runs on macos.
The parallels to global warming appear to be close enough that this could be a good area to study what actually changes behavior on a global scale for a global environmental problem. I suspect this is easier to 'fix' mainly because there are fewer entities involved so not a total parallel, but it still might be informative to see when in the crisis arc action actually starts happening and what messaging impacted that timing.
> that will wreck the us auto makers

Not just the auto makers. Many of the suppliers in the ecosystem will lose out because EVs require so many thousands of fewer parts. Mechanics also won't have nearly as much work on low maintenance EVs.
