Yeah the naming implies a significant breakthrough, but this is just an incremental stepping stone that will be forgotten in time.
I’d like to say, “Is this not obvious?” but I’m not sure I fully appreciated what follows until I had a sufficient level of exposure to abstract mathematics. A core element of problem solving is reduction, be it to logically equivalent formulations or to more atomic components that can be reasoned about together.

The Supreme Court is ruling in the next days whether platforms are liable for hate speech by their users. They are going to rule on this possible interpretation of an article from the Marco Civil law from 2014.

Perhaps this is what the government is waiting for, but from what we've seen so far with the Musk x Moraes fight is, Zuckerberg should think twice before removing any hate speech and fake news safeguards his platforms have, otherwise they will be banned from operating in the country.

Some analysts from the supreme court also said that the end of this fact checking program can be considered as a violation of the internet law in Brazil [0]

Besides, the solicitor's general office is going to hold a public hearing about the changes to Meta's policies [1]

And to answer your question, they are not just expanding the speech. Don't mistake free speech with freedom of aggression, and also keep in mind Brazil is not a lawless world like the US is, we are more civil than that.

People here cost a little more. No one here does quite the volume jlcpcb likely does. Perhaps there’s some artificial market factor as well like CCP tends to weigh some scales. There’s board assembly machines made in china as well likely further reducing the cost to build out assembly lines. Perhaps cheaper sources of basic materials like copper.

Likely multitudes of factors at play all of them in favor of China

I don't see how this is relevant or invalidates my point. You think the US will wait for the end of the war to do that or what?

Also, German scientists who could leave the country were fleeing to the US before the Nazi regime started WW2 and also during the war, before it was a formal operation to gather them as prisoners of war when Germany lost.
Totally agree with this. It's nice to have something to point at for writing samples, to show some experience in a field, and to get ahold of you.

I have a link aggregator (Bento.me) that points to my blog, GitHub, cool projects to get involved with, etc. I feel like this also shows a level of enthusiasm / involvement with the field / community as a whole as well.

I saw your other comment and also agree with the email exclusion. My blog has the ability to have comments, my GitHub has open repos, and there is a calendar link. If someone wants to dig for my email they can (as it's very public at this point lol), but I'd prefer it not be the main route I handle online comms through from people reaching that link agg.
Checkout Learncraft Spanish. The step they take to simplify that others do not is that they focus knly on grammer for a very lokg time, and just use english verbs and nouns.

For example, at a certain point the only words you will have learned are que and lo, so the quiz sentances will be like :

I want you to eat it -> I want que lo you eat

This prpgram has been extremely useful to me and helped me learn spanosh far quicker than other methods. They also use memory palace techniques and have an unusually effective way of organizing vocab learning
People use screen readers for accessibility. I would not expect anyone to be able to "look for and find" your mp3... I would instead expect them to use the tool they normally use for accessibility.

The real question is "what tools are they already using and how can I make sure those tools are providing higher quality output?". There are standards in browsers for these kinds of things (ways to hint navigation via accessibility tools for example).
This only works when the bike is matching or only little bit higher than the rider. If you are a kid learning to ride on an adult bike (like I did because that was the only one available), don't take the pedals off. They are essential to provide a platform to put your foot on, and more importantly, achieve speed as soon as possible - because a certain amount of speed is essential to keep the bike going which makes the balancing easier.
"Over more than a decade there has been an extensive research effort on how to effectively utilize recurrent models and attention. While recurrent models aim to compress the data into a fixed-size memory (called hidden state), attention allows attending to the entire context window, capturing the direct dependencies of all tokens. This more accurate modeling of dependencies, however, comes with a quadratic cost, limiting the model to a fixed-length context. We present a new neural long-term memory module that learns to memorize historical context and helps attention to attend to the current context while utilizing long past information. We show that this neural memory has the advantage of fast parallelizable training while maintaining a fast inference. From a memory perspective, we argue that attention due to its limited context but accurate dependency modeling performs as a short-term memory, while neural memory due to its ability to memorize the data, acts as a long-term, more persistent, memory. Based on these two modules, we introduce a new family of architectures, called Titans, and present three variants to address how one can effectively incorporate memory into this architecture. Our experimental results on language modeling, common-sense reasoning, genomics, and time series tasks show that Titans are more effective than Transformers and recent modern linear recurrent models. They further can effectively scale to larger than 2M context window size with higher accuracy in needle-in-haystack tasks compared to baselines."
The point is that humans want a meeting's clock time to change when they travel to a new time zone, but not when their local time changes (either due to DST or a legal change).

Unless of course not everybody invited shares the same DST patterns, in which case it has to change for some of the participants (how do you choose which?).

Also, the relationship between the datetime the user chose and the UTC time you store can be retroactively changed by legislation.
I don't undertand how it can work. I assume the spam list is shared by all users, oherwise it will no be useful at all:

Let's supouse Apple is evil (or they recive an order from a judge) and they want to know who is calling 5555-1234

1) Add a new empty "spam" numbers encrypted database to the server (so there are now two encrypted databases in the system)

2) Add the encrited version of 5555-1234 to it.

3) When someone checks, reply the correct answer from the real database and also check in the second one and send the reply to the police.
That narrative doesn't make sense, making Taiwanese build and run a factory in USA is not much different than an oil rich Arab country luring a western institution opening a campus in their desert. Its good to have but it doesn't make you a superconductor superpower.

To be fair, the USA does have many of the key companies and technologies that make these ICs possible in first place so it's not exactly like that but in the case of TSMC it kind of is.
Apple also does the vast majority of photo categorization on device, and has for years over multiple major releases. Foods, drinks, many types of animals including specific breeds, OCRing all text on the image even when massively distorted, etc.

This feature is some new "landmark" detection and it feels like it's a trial balloon or something as it simply makes zero sense unless what they are categorizing as landmarks is enormous. The example is always the Eiffel tower, but the data to identify most of the world's major landmarks is small relative to what the device can already detect, not to mention that such lookups don't even need photo identification and could instead (and actually already do and long have) use simple location data and nearby POIs for such metadata tagging.

The landmarks thing is the beginning, but I feel like they want it to be much more detailed. Like every piece of art, model of car, etc, including as they change with new releases, etc.

Even then that would imply some legal personhood on the part of the vessel and it's operations, much like a registered company.

To me it's a leap too far to assign it to a specific object. It has no ongoing operations, it's not a fluid, "living" thing.

But here we are.

It depends which features you need, but interestingly Google has another, lighter weight gallery app called Google Gallery that does not have any cloud features built in.
Slackware sent a fixed version of rsync out yesterday.

But I wonder of OpenBSD's openrsync has the same issue ? Or did that version avoid the issues when it was created ?

If it was avoided, seems OpenBSD was ahead of the curve again.
Well when you are building a feature that can only be appreciated by a subculture of people (privacy advocates), and they complain about the most basic faux pas that you could do in their culture (not asking them before you phone home with data derived from their data)... you have invited these people to criticise you.

Most people I know of wouldn't care about such a feature other than a breathless sort of "Wow, Apple tech!" So they are building something which is intended to win over privacy conscious people, kudos to them, everyone stands to benefit. But the most basic custom in that subculture is consent. So they built something really great and then clumsily failed on the easiest detail because it is so meaningless to everyone except that target audience. To that audience, they don't bother criticising google or microsoft (again) because it goes without saying that those companies are terrible, it doesn't need to be said again.
And if you can hop from each standing wave node to the next, you can teleport, or move ridiculously fast by moving discretely instead of continuously. What if you could tune the wavelength of these standing waves with particles stationary and vibrating?

Relational databases (sans JSON columns) are limited in the same way that seatbelts limit your ability to be transfenestrated during a crash.

Having a rigid and well-designed schema is a mechanism to keep you or your team from doing stupid things.
Percentage drops don’t add they multiply.

A 20% drop on its own is 20%, but if prices fell 33% it requires a separate 16.25% drop not a 13% drop. Meaning deregulation was responsible for 55% of the total decline for the numbers to work out.

PS: If they’re confused or lying in just that blurb I’d question the rest of their analysis.
Or use a kick scooter. Not the tiny wheel Razor types, one with air filled rubber tires. All my three family members (wife, two kids) learned it that way, with an adult size scooter (the kids preferred this to a child size one). Initially you just kinda skitter along, then you realize, hmmm, I can let this roll for a bit, and within 1-2 weeks the balancing thing "clicks". Both kids transitioned directly from the roll >5m stage to riding a bike on the first try.

We had a balance bike but they rejected it.
Horrifying? It’s mathematically correct.
It’s racist to break out statistics along what was literally the single most determinative factor for life outcomes in antebellum America?
I heard that the major problem with replanting efforts is monoculture. What are your thoughts on that?
Yes, but if the alternative is not having a book, or having to listen to one poorly read (I love Librivox, but there are some books which I just haven't been able to finish because of readers, and many more which were nixed for family vacation travel listening on that account), this may be workable.
I consulted Wikipedia on "Closed Timelike Curve" and didn't understand the explanation either. I could distinctly hear a "woosh" sound as it all flew by above my head.
>Anyway, aren't CNN, MSNBC, The Guardian... overtly left-leaning

For CNN and MSNBC, no. Neither was every truly liberal in the global sense (like the Democratic Party, closer to centrist than anything else) and both have started drifting rightward in the last 4 years such that they're now roughly "American Centrist" with a slight left lean i.e. conservative in most of the rest of the world.
Given that it is utterly obvious that “no one watched them for 20 minutes at a time” is false, you should accept that this is not as simple as you imagine as a naive layman.

You may well be curious why it wasn’t noticed sooner, but no specialist will inform you when your approach to them is “So, are you just an idiot compared to me, a random nobody who has thought about your field for all of two minutes?” ;)
Several countries have implemented large-scale planting efforts: China, Ethiopia, India, Brazil, Australia, Pakistan, and Turkey to name a few. In 2019, Ethiopia claimed to have planted over 350 million trees in a single day as part of a broader initiative to plant 4 billion trees within a year to fight climate change.
Which is why I mentioned transitive dependency management, and pure eval. Both of which are absolutely not solved by npins, etc.

> Printing presses produce superior products.

That seems like a highly dubitable statement. Many hand illuminated manuscripts are masterpieces of art. The advantage of the printing press was chiefly economical making the cost of a copy dramatically less, not an increase in quality (especially so by the aesthetical standards of the time).
Another note for simplification, you could use the builtin i2c peripheral and give each octet of leds its own address. You got 64 octets in total, which conveniently fits into 7 bit i2c address space. That should make the communication trivial to handle.

Also RPI has builtin i2c, so you don't need usb adapter for it.

I use Ffmpeg. I have zero interest in cloud based Ffmpeg.

Maybe if it was really cheap and the servers could process the job in a small fraction of the time it takes locally. Otherwise, I'd just run it locally.

If you built a ui that made it easier to use as part of the offering, it'd make sense for a lot of people.
How can you trust any mainstream "working" iPhone or Android device? You already mentioned open source android distros. You mean those where no banking or streaming device app works because you have to use a replacement for gapps and the root / open bootloader prevents any form of DRM? That is not really an option for most people.
I would love to have a Linux phone even with terrible user experience as long as I do not lose touch with society. That however seems to be an impossible task.

I write mainly for myself, but it has other benefits as well. The act of blogging forces me to actually follow through with pieces, as I'm putting them out there. If I'm just "taking notes", it won't be as well laid out (at least until later revisions) and is very utilitarian.

Blogging forces myself to write for others, which allows me to do things like research a subject more deeply and include supporting evidence. Aside from that, it's nice to have a resource that shows enthusiasm about a field, and there are things you can point to if writing samples are necessary for a job, grant, or publication.

I think there are a lot of other benefits I haven't covered. I will preface this saying all of my blogs are also first drafts about random things. Sometimes they align with my field, but a lot of the time they are edge-cases or in an adjacent field, and sometimes they're just ramblings about random topics. Finding your reason to blog is the best way to do it, because if you have no reason or motivation to, why do it?

I went to grammar school (UK) in the 1990s, and also absolutely loathed it. I think it set me up horribly for life and (especially) for my career. People use the phrase "PTSD" too lightly, but I think it gave me something like it that I often feel in an office full of people, and especially during in-person meetings. Years of CBT and ERP have helped a lot, and now I'm middle-aged I think I've put the worst of it behind me. I remember that horrible feeling that both the bigger kids and the teachers were against you, and the sense of utter helplessness and despair.

A few times my parents hired tutors for subjects I was struggling in, and I remember that suddenly I found myself enjoying them. I think I would have benefited greatly from being homeschooled, but of course at that time it was unheard of in the UK. I know it's not for everyone. There's no perfect answer. What's certain is that there's nothing 'normal' about sitting in a room with 30 people who are exactly the same age as you, plus one official authority figure.

So school certainly 'socialized' me, but not in a good way.

It wasn't entirely bad. I got a reasonably good education, and some of the teachers have left a positive impression. Overall though it was horrible.

There are times I feel minor guilt for using an LLM to relieve brainwork, like figuring out an algorithm. That's probably a skill I should continue practicing for my own sake.

ffmpeg commands though? It's really not a practical skill outside of using ffmpeg. There's nothing really rewarding to me about memorizing awkwardly designed CLI incantations. It's all arbitrary.
This sort of thing always seems to be held back by software --- it's been decades now, and Apple still hasn't made a device I want to buy since killing off the Newton, and while I carry and use my Kindle Scribe pretty much constantly, it's mostly for reading and sketching, not for the extensive notes integrated into my writing which my Newton MessagePad, NCR-3125, and Wacom ArtZ attached to my NeXT Cube and all cabled together w/ DB-9 serial cables made workable.
I agree with all that, but none of that translates to a traditional battlefield triumph. Maybe providing more long-range weapons would enable symbolic strikes near Moscow or on oligarchs' dachas, but that's the only case I can think of where materiel might help with that strategy.

Ukraine needs more soldiers, hard without full conscription, with the pool of heroic volunteers already committed, and it needs more artillery shells, that NATO can't readily supply because NATO never imagined playing quartermaster this kind of warfare in the 21st century.
Agreed. I think it would require a lot of work on tooling to make this idea work, for fairly little gain. I still think it's an elegant idea though.
