Note that you need to be able to infinitely divide your stake for this to work out for you all the time.

For example, if the deck has 26 red cards on top, you'd end up dwindling your initial $1.00 stake to 0.000000134 before riding it back up to 9.08

IDK where you live but where I am, unless it's an actively life threatening emergency, the Police will say they're busy. I watched a drunk driver try to drive away after smashing into a parked car, ripping a wheel off the parked car. The drunk driver kept trying to start his car to get away. People called the police but they said they're busy. Fortunately his car was totaled and wouldn't start either. Over an hour later someone picked him up. If they can't even bother to deal with an active drunk driver, they aren't gonna help retrieve a bike.

Not saying confronting thieves is for everyone. But it's not necessarily as physical as you think.
It’s also a better strategy for the company because you’ll easily pick the right “level” and then it’s much easier to upsell you on a part or two.

If instead they give you ten thousand combinations you’re much more likely to just grab “the cheapest”.
Same! (but more side gig for me) It was pandemic hobby. Started out just making a chefy with a custom handle for my wife from a premade blank. Did the next one by hand with a file and a little home made forge, then went all in on a belt grinder, evenheat kiln etc.

The material science side of the blade is a blast - but one of my favorite bits is actually all the variety in handle materials. https://gcarta.bigcartel.com/products has some amazing patterns.
Have you seen Tony Chen's (development lead for Xbox One security) description of the Xbox 360 reset glitch hack at [1] and the effect this (and other console exploits of that time) had on Xbox One development?

MMM++ is a variation of standard malloc/free. You can still UAF, but only to another object of the same type, which may or may not prevent an exploit.

Something that's missing is full-on formal verification where you write unrestricted C code and then mathematically prove it doesn't have any bugs. Nobody does this because proving a C program is correct is harder than mining a bitcoin block by hand, but it's useful to anchor one end of the safety/freedom spectrum. Many other approaches (such as borrow checking) can also be viewed as variants of this where you restrict the allowed program constructs to ones that are easier to prove things about.

"Most Spotify listeners don't care"

In all honesty, do you think most Spotify listeners or even Apple music listeners have a decent understanding of the model in which artists are paid? Or an understanding that isn't from the mouth of said company?

To say we don't care is akin to saying most people don't care about how they contribute to child labor/exploitation, wage theft, global warming by buying and using products that contribute to those things. It's not that people don't care its that people don't have a reason to suspect is nefarious, nor do they feel the impact of it.

I see musicians on music videos, on radio and touring, how am I supposed to know they're severely disadvantaged when I listen to their music on a streaming platform?

The "organic" craze is completely baffling. Like, yes, shit is organic, it's also filled with a ton of pathogens that can kill you - a shitton, even!

Although I stick to composting food scraps and yard waste, when I read about manure composting basically all guidance said that in order for it to be safe you needed to make sure it went through a hot composting cycle and it was better to let it "cure" for a further two years afterwards. At that point I'd throw in the towel and only use it on things that were not for human consumption, and not even near things that are being grown for human consumption.
Apple Platform Security Guide – December 2024 update [pdf]
Very good point. I did some experiments and the system is very sensitive to any sort of quantization or rounding of bets. You get the expected value about the right place, but the variance goes up quickly. So in addition to your important case, things are a bit dicey in general.

Dad Was Dying. His Shocking Confession Solved an Infamous Crime
This is fine and all, but each individual having a solar panel introduces a lot of issues.

Your energy bill is about 1/4 or 1/3rd distribution. As you take less power from the grid because of the solar on your roof, that proportion grows larger and larger.

At the same time, the power company makes less money off of you, because you are using less power. Therefore, they have less money to invest in distribution, which means they must increase distribution fees further to stay a going concern. This is to say nothing of the ballooning costs of distribution in general (nimbyism, permitting fees, can't build jack shit in this country for no good reason etc.).

Therefore: in the hypothetical where everyone has solar rooftops, we all effectively pay the grid operator only for dirty/offpeak power. This makes the grid operators look bad to everyone (they're using dirty power, aren't we trying to fight climate change!? Why is my electricity bill astronomical, even though I only use a tiny bit of power!?) and puts them in an impossible situation -- they're stuck between capped profits, creating expensive clean power at off-peak hours, and limited cash in general, since their expensive power plants are dormant half the time. Yet they still must deliver power to their customers, 24/7.

People have to have 24/7 electricity, even though the solar on their house does not cover them 24/7. It's illegal to sell a house that is not connected to the grid in most areas. Therefore, consumers must pay for the option of using electricity in off-peak hours. Everyone will be upset. The grid operator, who is constantly thrashed by politicians who insist on their using clean power, their customers who are enraged at them for the seemingly exorbitant electric bills (which are mostly distribution).

The upside is that the grid is more resilient, but as others have mentioned, only if significant investments in local distribution are made (i.e. the ability to very dynamically/granularly pump power back up, from house to grid). Which is a big capital investment that the grid operators will not be able to afford.

All this is downstream of the fact that it is hugely inefficient to put a ton of tiny solar panels all over the place, where they cannot be installed, cleaned, maintained, replaced cheaply. It's just way less expensive per watt to put a bunch of solar panels in one spot on cheap land in the desert and pipe it through the existing distribution network.

Everyone will pay for that resilience, in their electric bill, one way or another.

The encoder's embedding is contextual, it depends on all the tokens. If you pull out the embedding layer from a decoder only model then that is a fixed embedding where each token's representation doesn't depend on the other tokens in the sequence. The bi-directionality is also important for getting a proper representation of the sequence, though you can train decoder only models to emit a single embedding vector once they have processed the whole sequence left to right.

Fundamentally it's basically a difference between bidirectional attention in the encoder and a triangular (or "causal") attention mask in the decoder.

Hardly novel. I see lots of libertarians and conservatives advocating replacing most government spending (and beauracracy!) with UBI.

I don’t know how popular this service is in India, but holy cow these abilities could easily be exploited for nefarious purposes:

* The ability to steal/hijack/redirect other people’s delivery orders through a specific sequence of carefully timed API calls.

* The ability to retrieve the details of any order.

Wait for a target to order something, redirect the delivery to yourself. Then take the order and deliver it yourself to the target. Access granted, and you’ve got a nice fall guy- the original delivery person. IDK, I’m not a criminal, but seems like it could go for more than $240 on the black market.
Echoing (finally) what security experts have been saying for years.

I searched Google maps for Latam but could only find an airline. Where is this?
I think "Fent in everything" and the reduction of things like a rave/club culture plays a huge role. A lot of drugs, at least in the introductory stage, are profoundly social. Putting aside the perceived value of social media, it's also true that a lot of youthful drug use is like youthful vandalism... it's a product of boredom. Take away the boredom, and you reduce the risk of people taking extreme measures to relieve it.
It's only a natural thought for people, if you can hear it, can you talk to it. So I don't see it as a CYA as much as just cutting off questions from people that know the intricacies of that kind of radio communication

This is how I think the current bubble will pop. Yes, these are useful tools that we just now are trying to learn how to use. But wallstreet and bean counters are going apeshit on the prospect of replacing the (expensive!) humans they currently pay for.

Once the codebases become an unmanageable mess I think the pendulum will swing back, hard.

That should buy sometime for anyone not entering the industry right now.
An O appears to be a similar trigger. Our building manager persists in announcing the security tokens thus, as in, "Your new key FOB is ready.", and I feel real pain every time.

You don't really need NIC TLS unless your bitrate is rather high and you're serving data that is stored on disk / in disk cache rather than data that was just generated on the CPU.

Bulk ciphering is pretty inexpensive since Intel Haswell (2014) where there was a big improvement in AES-NI, but the load and store around ciphering static content that could otherwise avoid a trip through the CPU can be a significant bottleneck at 100gbps+. I'm sure there are measurable gains from TLS offload in other situations, but it's only critical for static content at high bit rates.
How does this compare to other wars?
Presumably quite often the bag and the airtag are worth more than the contents?!
Sounds like school in adolescence was the gateway drug. Removing it broke the cycle.

Eh. Recognition that the state having a monopoly on violence is a better system than individuals exercising it isnt cowardice. This is one area where cops actually can and will do what you want them to, might as well let them if possible.

And yeah maybe any reasonable human can beat up most tweakers, but one could have a knife or gun. Even if that’s a 5% shot, my life is worth more than 20x my bike.

That's a fair point. I'll try to remember to dismiss next time and see.
Mac is a valid abbreviation of the Macintosh, which is named indirectly after John McIntosh, a Canadian farmer and apple breeder of Scottish descent, who gave his name to the McIntosh Red cultivar. Scottish artist Charles Rennie Mackintosh was also born McIntosh but revised his family name after a spelling error at the Glasgow School of Art. The Mackintosh that you wear is similarly misnamed after Charles Macintosh (no relation), inventor of the modern waterproof raincoat. And so it goes.
why use a static seed on the random generator and could that be making this appear more interesting than it might otherwise?

>growth for the sake of growth is pointless

Is "sustainability" for the sake of "sustainability" pointful? For all we know, everything may just be reduced back to energy in a Big Crunch in the future, so the outcome is the same regardless. Is a civilization that languished in stagnancy for millions of years have any more paticular meaning than one that burned brightly but briefly?
I'm not proficient in C. Does this "just work" or do you need to provide some sort of rendering environment like SDL?
Solar ovens are handy for sterilizing organic fertilizer mixes in relatively small quantities. The simplest version is just a box lined with black absorbant material (not plastic, it might melt) with a glass plate on top, and orient towards the sun around noon for a few hours. Test it for sufficient heat generation for sterilization purposes by seeing if a metal cup full of water starts boiling.

Even then you should wear an decent mask when handling all fertilizers, you don't want to be breathing the dust regardless of whether it's synthetic or organic fertilizer.
Wikipedia says this about WWII:

"Deaths directly caused by the war (including military and civilian fatalities) are estimated at 50–56 million, with an additional estimated 19–28 million deaths from war-related disease and famine. Civilian deaths totaled 50–55 million."

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_War_II_casualties#:~:tex....

We should expect similar numbers for Gaza in terms of additional indirect deaths. But the current numbers for Gaza still are an undercount of direct deaths.

It really depends on your definition of static typing. The thing that always made implicit nullability such a mess is precisely that it breaks the subtype relationship - that is, given some (reference) type Foo, you can have a null value of that, but none of the operations that normally apply to Foo apply to that null Foo value! In other words, it's not actually of type Foo, at least not under any sane definition of what a "type" is. So it was always a hole in static typing, and experience with all the grief caused by this hole is why we're moving away from it now, and why even the person who originally introduced this approach in the first place believes it was a mistake.

But, yes, using dynamic typing would be even more irresponsible than using implicit nulls. And this is also something we've learned from experience - note how historically dynamically typed languages are acquiring some form of bolt-on statically checked typing (TypeScript, Python type annotations etc), and how quickly this is becoming the preferred way to write new code.

It works the other way, too.

Years ago a UK bank incorrectly deposited money in my account. My GF’s dad was a lawyer, so I asked him if I could spend it.

“It’s like if someone parks their car in your driveway”, he told me. “While that’s inconvenient, it doesn’t make it your car.”
P.S.: Saw a recent submission [0] just now, might be of-interest since it also touches on the "faking":

> When they tested the model by giving it two options which were in contention with what it was trained to do it chose a circuitous, but logical, decision.

> And it was published as “Claude fakes alignment”. No, it’s a usage of the word “fake” that makes you think there’s a singular entity that’s doing it. With intentionality. It’s not. It’s faking it about as much as water flows downhill.

> [...] Thus, in the same report, saying “the model tries to steal its weights” puts an onus on the model that’s frankly invalid.

The idea is sound. The static seed is presumably so the results are repeatable, but it works for true randomness. (Assuming you were permitted to do it this way, which you wouldn't be.)
WW2 was often at equilibrium. The bombing of Gaza is pretty one sided. A comparison might be better with other one sided conflicts.
It's allowed because Record automatically implements methods called cost(), row(), and col().
Not sure why, but seems very interesting and creative.
What is the logic behind it?
So? That was a comment. This is a submission. OP is fine.

Kelly criterion is one of my favorite game theory concepts that is used heavily in bankroll management of professional gamblers, particularly poker players. It is a good way to help someone understand how you can manage your finances and stakes in a way that allows you to climb steadily forward without risking too much or any ruin, but is frequently misapplied in that space. The problem is kelly deals with binary results, and often situations in which this is applied where the results are not binary (a criteria for applying this) you can see skewed results that look almost right but not quite so, depending on how you view the math
What I got is that SNR is relative to a time period. If you average the received signal over a longer period of time, the noise tends to cancel out but the signal tends to stack up (if the transmitter is still transmitting the same bit). Traditionally you'd use a narrower filter to remove more noise while keeping the signal, but today's (and last decade's and the decade's before that) fast computers can do part of the averaging in software, which leads to seeing a digital signal come in as noise, and then a signal magically appears after processing. This can also be done with CDMA signals provided that you're locked onto the timing of the code, which is something analog electronics can't do.

You can also setup the controller on a VPS / remote server of your own external to the local device network, and set-inform to that controller.
It's not difficult or disorganized to layout GUIs in a programming language. HTML exists as an alternative to having nothing. If you have a programming language you can give the data to the GUI library directly without having to learn a new markup language, have the bloat of a new markup language or learn the quirks a new markup language. You can also put format it and put newlines in there.
Problem is that the expiration and "reauth" is handled by the third-party provider (there's no longer an actual cryptographic reauth step), and it's not like anyone is auditing this or is even incentivized to. It's pure security theater.
