The industry is already a step ahead on this stuff. I'm sure they have reams of market research that say "If a tax appears that causes Coke to be $1.49 per litre and Diet Coke is $1.29, there's a nontrivial amount of customers who will skip the soda rather than switching to the existing diet brand." So they need a product they CAN slide in if the shoe drops.

They brought out "half-sugar" sodas about 20 years ago (Coke C2), but they hit the market with a thud. I suspect that the recent "Zero Sugar" brands are intended to fill the same spot. Notice how the branding is much closer to the sugared brand than the diet brands, and TBF, they're a lot more comparable taste-wise to the sugared versions than Tab or Diet Coke ever were.

There's little case for introducing these products if it's primarily going to cannibalize their existing brands and consume already limited shelf space, unless there's some long-term appeal in it. But if there's a sugar tax, or some dramatic economic fallout that makes sugar ahistorically expensive, watch as the default position on the vending machine suddenly switches to suddenly Coke Zero.

> The word integer comes from the Latin integer meaning "whole" or (literally) "untouched", from in ("not") plus tangere ("to touch"). "Entire" derives from the same origin via the French word entier, which means both entire and integer.[9] Historically the term was used for a number that was a multiple of 1,[10][11] or to the whole part of a mixed number.

The question was to understand the idea of a "whole number" aka an integer.
It is more egalitarian to sell the same commodity to a poorer person for less money, and a richer person for more money. This can be generalized to “selling to a person able and willing to pay more for a higher price and a person less able and less willing for a lower price” (as long as it is not lower than the COGS).

Price discrimination does not mean anyone is getting hosed. A simple example is someone that wants to go through the trouble of using coupons at grocery stores. A person with less time and more money might choose convenience, or a brand name product. A person with less money can still buy using a coupon, or buy generic.

Obviously, that doesn’t mean a richer person is obliged to pay more. But it’s not evil to attempt to maximize the take based on differing buying power / desire.
I would imagine a lack of experience with gear and not knowing how to react to sudden weather changes might be 2 big reasons why things go wrong. These environments are not forgiving when panic sets in or you make a long series of minor mistakes, many stories like these when it comes to scuba diving as well (especially cave diving).
Great, I'm sure you'll have no problem using the services of a self-taught doctor, lawyer, or engineer then. After all, why would they need to be taught by a professional?

Go spend some time in a classroom and get a fucking clue how much more there is to teaching than what your layman's view entails. You, and this disrespect for our educators and the potential of what we could be offering in our public schools is why we are the laughing stock of the developed world.
certainly -- not necessarily the raw velocity of light, but the ability to augment other properties of light to increase the bandwidth.

Is it correct then to say that augmenting the other properties of light increases overall information density/capacity of light as a medium? whereas with electricity we only have 2D: amplitude & freq?
My one big question about nix is how the hell do I find out those options? Like cool, I know I need to set the config to some specific value based on arch wiki, but how do I read the nix package to find out what config "key" to use? I've never been able to work out where these are defined

Interesting! Are there any security concerns with SHE? If not, it sounds like all of the benefits of FHE with none of the downsides, other than the noise overwhelming the system. If that’s true, and SHE can run at least somewhat inexpensively, then this could be big. I was once super hyped about FHE till I realized it couldn’t be practical, and this has my old excitement stirring again.

I believe the wheels still fall the same amount (the springs are pushing them down) but the suspension works faster/more efficiently. Once the wheel either bottoms out in the pothole or hits the trailing edge, the spring sends the wheel up faster due to the energy from the impact. The shock is thus pushed up faster, and upon reaching its full contraction, settles back down into position to level the suspension on the road. The car ends up moving less in space and the suspension regains its position faster. If the car were moving slower, gravity, momentum and the inefficient suspension would end up moving the car itself more which has a larger impact on the ride.
Oh I talked to some guys who started a company that does that. This was at an AI meetup in SF last year. They were mainly focused on making $/token cheaper by directing easy/dumb queries to smaller dumber models, but it also increases output quality because some models are just better at certain things. I'm sure all the big companies already have implementations of this by now even if they don't use it everywhere
I had to look that up… for others:

An STS cross encoder is a model that uses the CrossEncoder class to predict the semantic similarity between two sentences. STS stands for Semantic Textual Similarity.
Yeah probably not the environmental management, but likely they are in favor of the other point I made earlier about leveling the playing field by ensuring American companies are competing with others who value similar working conditions and standards to the US, rather than giving an advantage to countries who exploit their workers even more than the US.

Though, I can’t speak for them, and my opinions on reducing the outsourcing to countries who largely disregard the environment and human rights, are my opinions regardless of their motivations
Agreed, but quality products are designed to continue operating as best as possible when components fail. You can definitely take that overboard to extreme level, but a basic think through of especially common failure causes (like ear junk buildup) and design around it is what great product designers do.
Great demo, straight to the point. It might be nice to have some kind of feedback mechanism if it can't find the element on the page, or if it's partially cut off. For example, I changed the GitHub profile to my own (https://github.com/spro) in the example and it doesn't scroll down far enough for the whole image. I imagine in general it would be nice to scroll to an element ID (or even element description using the vision models) instead of a hardcoded value.

You are ignoring the externalities. We end up with an ignorant society that ultimately harms all of us. I hate to use a movie trope here, but we're barely a step above Idiocracy when it comes to the ability of the average American to function and make decisions. This ultimately becomes self destructive.
No they really are. Arbitrarily long means "pick a number any number." Infinite means, well infinite. And infinity is always bigger than "pick a number, any number."

I suggest that you read Michael Sipser's Introduction to the Theory of Computation. It's absolutely lovely and an easy read, considering the subject matter. It will help you to understand cardinality (and many other things) in a pragmatic computing science context.
Given Mullenweg and Automattic hired a full time ‘Executive Director of WordPress.org, does that mean that Automattic will contribute 5 hours to Wordpress beyond that?

Also fascinating that Mullenweg is willing to back away from the WordPress people love, but won’t let others engage to take up the slack. Has he been blocking WPE and others contributions if they don’t line up with his/Automattic’s commercial interests all along? Is there another shoe to drop?

If community members submit code to improve core by removing the dependency on .org and allowing users to choose will Mullenweg allow it in?

>Those numbers do not mean what you seem to think

Those numbers are actually painting a rosier picture of what is actually happening in Baltimore and other cities. In 23 out of 150 school, zero students - none! - were proficient in math. Not a single student. There is simply no way to put lipstick on that pig.

>The Maryland State Department of Education recently released the 2022 state test results known as MCAP, Maryland Comprehensive Assessment Program.

>Baltimore City’s math scores were the lowest in the state. Just 7% of third through eighth graders tested proficient in math, which means 93% could not do math at grade level.

>But that’s not all. WBFF combed through the scores at all 150 City Schools where the state math test was given. In 23 Baltimore City schools, there were zero students who tested proficient in math.

Better to use TCP, but I like your approach.
>There are elementary school classrooms where ~1/4 students don't speak English.

This really gets my hackles up, because my kids grew up in schools with a 50% Spanish speaking population and my partner is a dual-language teacher in a district where Spanish, Russian, and I believe Vietnamese are all taught as first-languages in specialized classrooms. Your assertion around English is misguided. This isn't to say that we don't need to get our kids proficient in English (it is the lingua franca after all), but there's more here than meets the eye. In my area we are headed toward universal bilingual education, which I see as only a good thing. That means that it may take longer to reach full proficiency, but the overall outcome is more capable and prepared students.
>That article is on latinx specifically.

Later in the survey:

>Still, this population continues to favor the terms Hispanic and Latino over the newer terms Latinx and Latine. 52% prefer the term Hispanic to describe people who are of Hispanic or Latino origin or descent, while 29% prefer the term Latino. 2% say they prefer Latinx and 1% favor Latine.

It may be worth pointing out: these are equivalent comparisons when testing for even numbers but cannot be extrapolated to testing for odd numbers. The reason being that a negative odd number modulus 2 is -1, not 1.

So `n % 2 == 1` should probably [1] be replaced with `n % 2 != 0`.

While this may be obvious with experience, if the code says `n % 2 == 0`, then a future developer who is trying to reverse the operation for some reason must know that they need to change the equality operator not the right operand. Whereas, with `n % 1 == 0`, they can change either safely and get the same result.

This feels problematic because the business logic that necessitated the change may be "do this when odd" and it may feel incorrect to implement "don't do this when even".

I really disfavor writing code that could be easily misinterpreted and modified in future by less-experienced developers; or maybe just someone (me) who's tired or rushing. For that reason, and the performance one, I try to stick to the bitwise operator.

[1] Of course, if for some reason you wanted to test for only positive odd numbers, you could use `n % 2 == 1`, but please write a comment noting that you're being clever.

Wait what? “Kids bikes in the US have to be sold with coaster brakes”. Is that true?
They were trying to sell beer to the demographic that likes Dylan Mulvaney. None of the existing consumers of Bud Light were affected by the campaign until right-wing activists started promoting a boycott.

They didn't run a national campaign with Mulvaney in a swimsuit drinking Bud Light, they didn't put her on the cans, they didn't do anything but do a promotion on her channel.
>Unfortunately, most educators simply don't seem to care much about high performing students

If you really believe this, then sue your school district. In my area, there was a district where parents believed high performers were not getting the necessary resources and through a combination of legal pressure and partnership with the school district, made it a priority in the same way that district had prioritized education for other specialized needs. Don't blame the average teacher though - they are doing what they have budget for and what they've been directed from administration.

it's incredibly algorithm-dependent. if you look into the thesis that originates the 'bootstrapping' technique to transform SHE algorithms into FHE, they determine the noise limit of their specific algorithm in section 7.3 and then investigate expanding the noise limit in 8 and 10.

(written in 2009) http://crypto.stanford.edu/craig/craig-thesis.pdf

some newer FHE don't encounter a noise limit or don't use the bootstrapping technique.

Yah, it is wrong. But most e-bike controllers have been engineered to have a top speed to comply with legal restrictions (or because of cost).

I think a better question is: How did the median get so much better over 150 years, and why can't it keep getting better?

150 years ago, the average person was illiterate, poorer (in all senses of the word) and less connected to the world around them. Over a 100 year old grind, schooling fixed all that. Why can't it keep going? So the outlier, super special "phenom" today is the median of tomorrow.
But you said table sugar had a high fructose content: “Table sugar is naturally high in fructose already”. Are you going to walk that back?

Answer to question: because public schooling is becoming a place of indoctrination/brainwashing (particularly of woke mentality), rather than a place of learning. This is very apparent in America, but even happens in outside places like England - kids as young as 7 are being taught and groomed with unnecessary sex and sexual ideas, when that age is meant for innocent play and exploration.

I know a few parents who've taken objection to this. They would rather have their children be properly taught, rather than be taken advantage of for their high impressionableness.
The energy is exponential. It takes 30% farther to stop going 80 than it does going 70.

One of my favorite trivia is the scenario that a car going 50 mph sees an obstruction in front and slams on its brakes and stops just in time just tapping it. A car next to him going 70 mph sees the same object, has faster reflexes, and hits his brakes at the exact same spot of the road. He slams into the object at 50 mph.

Just the difference between 70 and 80 is the energy of going almost 40 mph.
