You don't. Google backup is partial and very limited compared to what apple does, plus privacy issues and you don't get access to app folder without root. (I know about adb but then you can't push the files back there).

So it's a shitshow as usual with Android, it all depends on the app. My weight lifting app it can backup on Google cloud. Great. My 2Fa on the other hand it only backup to the 'external' storage, need to transfer it to the computer then. Some app don't have backup option. Some app give backup option but then break when you restore it, like moon reader. Some books just disappeared from the backup.

And so on, and so on.

At the end I focus on photo, obsidian vault and 2fa. Everything else is just bonus if I backed it up.
TabPFN is better on numerical data since v1 (see figure 6 in the CARTE paper). CARTE's main strength in on text features, which are now also supported for TabPFN v2 API version (https://github.com/PriorLabs/tabpfn-client). We compared this to CARTE and found our model to be generally quite better, and much faster. CARTE multi-table approach is also very interesting, and we want to tackle this setting in the future.

Remember Prometheus? He stole fire from the gods of Olympus and gave it to the humans.

In a different legend the gods held counsel to decide what parts of a ritual sacrifice would go to them, and what part to the humans. Prometheus gathered up the sacrificed animal's bones, polished them with its fat, wrapped them up in its hide and presented them to Zeus who was delighted at the artful arrangement, apparently, and accepted them in place of the bloody and dodgy looking meat and guts of the animal. So the humans kept the meat and guts, the gods got the bones.

No wonder Zeus punished Prometheus cruelly, for a thousand years until Hercules saved him. You probably know the story - rock, chains, eagle, liver, etc.

In yet other legends the gods fought the Titans (Prometheus was a Titan), and the Giants. The war with the Giants being especially bloody to the point that one Giant caught Zeus and cut the nerves from his arms and legs and left him paralysed, until Hermes stole the nerves and took them back to Zeus. The legend is a bit poor on details regarding how exactly he achieved this, but hey, gods.

All this is to say- yeah, the Gods were more powerful than humans. They commanded the weather, the sea, the earth and the sun; but they weren't omnipotent beings and they weren't even the creators of the world. Chaos was the creator of the world. Or possibly Chaos and Nyx together with Eros. From Chaos sprang Ouranos the sky, Gaia, the earth, and everything else in between and above. The Olympians came much later. In a sense they were the young upstarts. Zeus ... well, maimed his own father, Kronus (time?). Who had been eating all his children. So that's how Zeus became king of the gods: he usurped his Dad and fought two big wars against other pretenders to the throne. Hardly omnipotent. But very powerful nonetheless.

The Moirai -the Fates- were more powerful than Zeus, and all the other Gods combined: whatever the Fates decided, happened. When the Fates decided Hercules, the son of Zeus, would die, nothing Zeus could say or do would change their mind. Hercules died, and in a horrible, gruesome manner.

The gods were not omnipotent. Not the Olympians. Not, apparently, those of the Babylonians also. But their stories I don't know (I grew up in Athens, not Babylon).

The glymphatic system activity is greatest during slow-waves in N3 (deep) sleep. A slow-wave is the synchronous firing of neurons which is seen as the glymphatic system pumps CBF through the brain.

For the past 5 years we've been developing phase-targeted auditory stimulation to increase slow-wave activity, which has been shown to have a positive response in amyloid response, as well as memory, and a bunch of other biomarkers.

> It's that I hate calculus. Not the subject itself, just the grinding away at problem sets.

Most math majors I knew hated the standard calculus courses, for precisely this reason. It's taught this way because they're targeting engineers and some hard sciences (physics).

The reason is that for many of those majors (EE, physics), you will take courses where doing calculus is your daily bread and butter. You need to be as adept at it as algebra. Over 50% of HW problems in those courses will involve calculus. They really don't want students who understand circuits but can't do anything useful because they stumble on calculus.

They are the largest "customers" of the math department, so the department caters to them.

The definition of "rave" is in question here, what it means depends on what country you're from, and even in given countries the idea of "rave" means different things to different people.

For me it means people dancing to electronic music and most likely taking drugs too. It can mean raving in a club or a festival or on the beach in Thailand or in a forest in the UK or in a warehouse in Brooklyn, if there's electronic dance music and drugs, then it's a rave.

Here is what Claude says:
"A rave is a large dance party or festival typically featuring electronic dance music (EDM), characterized by:
Extended duration - often running late into the night or through early morning hours
Electronic music - featuring DJs playing various genres like house, techno, trance, and drum & bass
Distinctive atmosphere - using elements like elaborate light shows, lasers, fog machines, and visual projections
Communal experience - bringing together large groups of people dancing in a shared space"

This doesn't make sense to me because "fooless" means "lacks foo"

You are describing a thing that is not a foo, or does not do foo, not a thing that posesses no foo.

So, I say, this is just something you're saying and not a definition I ever heard or would have implied from context from others usage. And it's not a new term by now, so there has been several years for me to have gained this impression or understanding if anyone else were using it that way.
I use my Android tablet for sheet music. The music often gets annotated during rehearsals, and so it needs to be backed up. I find that SyncThing works great for this, and my backups go to another PC in my house. Since it doesn't require the cloud, I can access it in performance spaces where I can't get WiFi.

Everything else is backed up through their respective services, such as Gmail, and I just don't have an interesting enough digital life to have much else to backup.

Git works fine with Termux.
Could you expand on this part?

Sounds very interesting!

I have been thinking about something like this for a new PL, and many kinds of side effect can actually be reversed, as if it never happened.

I have also read that exceptions can complicate control flow, disallowing some optimizations - but if they are transactional, then we can just add their reverse to the supposedly already slow error path, and enjoy our performance boost!

I recently played The Planet Crafter. Some similar concepts to factorio, but not quite as deep. But it becomes wonderfully colorful.

Some observations - get off a planet, but in first person perspective. No guns/fighting. Less of a time suck than factorio. Upgrades seem to be less tightly tied to exactly what you do. It's somewhat unclear how to even know how to progress, but maybe it doesn't matter. When automation becomes available, it is easier. There's a struggle for food, water, air at the beginning I didn't like at first (even in menus it doesn't pause). I learned to accept and enjoy it though, and things you do make it less of an issue.
And it's still this much of a mess! It's almost like you can't regulate sanity into a for-profit healthcare system.
Deleting my Instagram account has affected me in a similar way. I'm very grateful to myself for making that decision.
Contacts and such I currently "trust" the default behaviours for, though I've got some noted down the old fashioned way for emergencies or if I somehow get looked out of the account. I keep meaning to use Takeout as an extra measure. Photos I sync to my own backup system via rsync+SSH via Termux. Everything else is easy enough to replace or came from other sources (my local media library, etc) anyway. I used to backup more (podcasts & such) via rsync but recent versions of Android have made that more difficult without rooting.

What is an "actual" rave? Are you gatekeeping an English word which means many different things to different people based on where they grew up and their socioeconomic background.

I've been "raving" since 2002 and for me it means dancing to electronic dance music and taking drugs, and it can be in a legit nightclub, or someones house, or a festival, or indeed an illegal warehouse rave. Everyone I have "raved" with, used the term interchangably.

If I told my friend, "I was raving at Tomorrowland last year", they would never say, "you can't say you were raving because that's not an illegal event."

Raving is not a scientific or mathematical term that has some precise definition. Don't try and make it that way, that's not what raving is about dude.
The optimism of the 90s was definitely a thing in the west, even if those particular metrics were worse. It was the perceived end of the cold war, and no other state could seemingly challenge the west. It really did seem like the end of war and every generation would have it better than the previous one. That optimism was pervasive and colored culture, mood, everything.

Now you've got a lot of millennials / gen-zers who grew up in homes their parents owned, unable to buy a home (in a place that would have jobs for them) saddled with college debt and few friends outside their computer screens. I think that's at the root, and all of those metrics mean nothing to them. Housing + debt, everything else is noise.

Other than for homosexuals, transsexuals, and maybe career focused females it's not outrageous to claim the 90s were a better time to be starting your life/adulthood.
Yes and no. Getting a VLM to work on the web would definitely be great, but it comes with its own problems, mainly around developing and acting on bounding boxes. We have vision as a default fallback for Stagehand, but we've found that the screenshot sent to the VLM often has to have pre-labeled elements on it. More notably, the screenshot with everything prelabeled leads to a cluttered and unusable image to process. Not pre-labeling runs the risk of missing important elements. I imagine a happy medium where the DOM+a11y tree can be used for candidate generation to a VLM.

Solely depending on a VLM is indeed reminiscent of how humans interact with the web, but when a model thrives with more data, why restrict the data sent to the model?
It's probably the same model with the same limitations, released nearly two years ago?

Guess what, "rave" isn't a scientific term with a precise definition defined by the IEEE board of standards.

For every raver I know, it means going out dancing to electronic music and usually taking some drugs other than alcohol. It doesnt matter if it starts at 1pm and ends at 1am, or whether it starts at 12am and ends at 5am. The time doesnt matter, legality doesn't matter, and location doesn't matter.
I just restored my backups a few weeks ago when I bought a new phone. It doesn't work for all apps (I knew it, it's far from the first time I do that) but I am satisfied with the results.

It does help sometimes for retrieving some data manually by digging through the backup files (used it recently for retrieving all invoices from a service that were otherwise only available one by one through a painfully complicated process).

I wish I had caught the original discussions. The moral of the story is that pointers contain too little metadata and not enough places to do bounds checking and type checking to be safer to handle (pun intended). Taking charge of things as “objects” is more robust.

Do notice that it means runtime bounds checking. It also mentions the problem of having a handle reference an object that’s no longer there or that has changed and that the probability of this happening rises with time. This pattern works great in single thread/single process code but starts decaying hard when you have preemptive concurrency. Here you really cannot safely do much of anything without some sort of locking without copy on write semantics (which is also the case with a lot of other systems, just pointing out that this isn’t solved magically by handles though the additional metadata can help detect use-after-free and handle-now-refers-to-a-different-object problem).

So the age old objection that bounds checking slows you down but is necessary to detect problems at runtime is here. You won’t get branch-free code with way compared to straight pointer references but on the other hand you get a lot closer to the concepts of owners and borrowers in straight C which is cool.
In my opinion the question isn’t so much “if” but rather “when”.

When will AI research and hardware capabilities reach a point that it’s practical to embed something like that into a regular document?

We’ve already seen proof of concept LLMs embedded into OpenType fonts.

I guess the other question is then “what capabilities would these AI agents have?” You’d hope just permission to present within that document. But that depends entirely on what unpatched vulnerabilities are lurking (such as the Microsoft ANSI RCE also featured on the HN front page)

Google launches a 'neutral' Chromium development fund
When I hooked a Raspberry Pi (model B maybe?) up to an analog input on my Marantz NR1605, the UI of the receiver got noticeably laggier until it was barely responsive. Disconnecting made the UI perk back up. I noticed the Pi had a 2.5V DC bias on its audio out. I didn't investigate further.

As for the article, I'm left with more questions. Surely the solar inverter wasn't running all the time in series, like a double conversion UPS, right? So how how would the mains waveform have been significantly affected in normal operation?

Also those scope traces, what's the scale? Are we talking 100mV dip, or a 1V dip? And is that a storage scope, or is that one cycle of the supply's ongoing ripple? And the complete lack of any dip on the "fixed" trace with extra capacitance makes me wonder if they even got the triggering right.
The interesting thing to me is how poorly-understood irrationality is.

Despite it being relatively common knowledge nowadays that pi is irrational, we've only proven that pi is irrational in the past 300 years or so. And the proof is not simple (at least to me)

As the article states, we didn't have a general purpose "plug this number in and it'll spit out whether the number is rational or not" formula. The irrationality proofs that we do have tend to bespoke to the structure of the number itself. That's why this research is exciting.

I have fond memories of the Nordic university network (NORDUnet) when the US<-->Sweden link was upgraded to 34Mbps in '95 (NORDUnet kept 24Mbps of the cable initially). At the time the fastest connection between the US and elsewhere in Europe was 6Mbps, according to the NORDunet 25 year report....

At one point there was an outage of the Sprint connection to Sweden that the Nordic connection to the US went over, and the Nordic countries for several hours saturated connections throughout parts of Europe that were in no way at a scale suitable to be a functional backup for the traffic from the Nordic countries...

It was first later I realised how spoiled we'd been... Tens of Mbps FTP speeds to other Nordic countries was routine in 94/95, for example.
