It doesn't matter which word. Which I should confess makes my remark above appear, in retrospect, to be something of a trap; because when parsing ambiguity, it's a matter of simple courtesy and wisdom to choose the interpretation that best illustrates the point rather than complaining about the ones that don't.

I say this not merely to be a pompous smartass but also because it illustrates and echoes the very same problem the top-level comment embodies, viz. that some folks struggle with vernacular, nonliteral, imprecise, and nonlinear language constructs. Yet grasping this thistle to glark one's grok remains parcel-and-part of comprehension and complaining about it won't remeaningify the barb'd disapprehensible.

Your disappointment, nevertheless, seems reasonable, because the outcome was, after all, a bait-and-route.
How to never forget anything ever again with Anki
There seems to be a whole cultural battle pitting people who don't give a damn, and hardcore cursive fans who will make shift studies after studies to somewhat prove that cursive is the bees' knees. I get the feeling Montessori would mostly appeal to the later crowd.

Somewhere in it there must be real science, but damn is it hard to find.

At this point I'm more prone to take an out of context look, and try to assert what exactly happened where cursive got phased out, or more generally, how it goes for cultures that don't teach cursive at all.

For instance do Korean kids face severe issues because cursive hangul isn't taught in school ?

If not, we can go back looking at it like a preference or an alternative that can help in very specific scenarii.
Reminded me of that too.
> the usage of their algorithms allows the app to influence how Americans think about different issues.

Yes, speech does that. "The algorithm" is curation but the content we are talking about is mostly Americans talking to other Americans. The goal is to control and suppress that communication.

There are perfectly valid arguments to ban TikTok. And hey, there are arguments to be made that free speech shouldn't be absolute. But that doesn't fit into the American self image, so the argument must be obscured to reduce the dissonance. Your argument in particular maps perfectly to "Some kinds of speech are dangerous and people must be protected from them."
AI needs user data, user generated content and behavior patterns.

Consider the possibility that nobody really picks up proc-gen in the hopes they can laze out a RDR3 or such over the weekend.

Another thing is, this applies to indies and AAAs alike: while a big world has to have interesting unique things in it, by definition not every square meter can/should be chockful of another "interesting truly unique thing" because if the whole world is filled like that, it's just another kind of sameyness in that the novelty factor would wear out just as quickly once you're getting that there truly is true novelty in absolutely every little square meter, which kills the novelty sensation in a heartbeat. Novelty delights us in a backdrop of routineness, sameyness, same-old-same-old-ness. So in between interesting things, the thusly necessary slightly-"duller" in-between areas are to pace and prep and make one anticipate novelty "hopefully almost just around the corner". Ideally it's so spaced to appear just in time before the player resigns such hopes.

And so if you're going to have slightly-duller "filler areas" (and let me posit that any real-world say forest (in a biome one has traversed before), without the physical air and smells and winds (or friends/pets stringing along) is quickly "proc-gen dull-ish" within minutes — even in reality — or call it "meditative"/calming) — so again, if you're going to have slightly-duller "filler areas" just to connect and space apart the unique content things to good effect, then procedural placements/scatterings/variations are going to beat manual placement not just in "effort time" but because manual would swiftly look much more repetetive (being inevitably eventually effectively copy-paste driven) given the scale of environments under discussion, even if it would not take a human months of menial clickery.

Rockstar gets it right imho but their approach would also get your "many caves in Skyrim" right because they manifest little novel uniquenesses not in scattered objects or env textures/models but via lively interactive interludes, whether it's animals frolicking or chasing each other or attacking towards you or "random stranger" incidents etc. That's the right kind of "filler but not boring", nobody cares about the variety of the rocks, only noticing them if nothing seems to be happening.
One has to assume most of the "people" with whom one interacts on the internet are bots or AIs now, anyway. That's just the nature of our post-truth reality, it doesn't matter.

but “people” do not have right to free speech, PEOPLE do. if as you said most interactions on the internet are bots they are not covered by the bill of rights :) identity-proofing would take care of that…
Games back then were brutal. I am not sure if there is a bug but I got stuck on the third level with no way to continue nor anyway to die. Just stuck.
If blacklisting user-agents doesn't work, whitelist the clients you actually want to accept.
Dead reckoning is a form of prediction, based on past evidence that indicates location then, you are reckoning (best guessing) a current position and detrmining a direction to move forward to reach some target.

"Past evidence that indicates" is deliberate phrasing, in the majority of these examples we are looking at acquired data with noise; errors, instrument noise, missing returns, etc.

"Tracking" is multi-stage, there's a desired target to be found (or to be declared absent) in noisy data .. that's pattern search and locking, the trajectory (the track) of that target must be best guessed, and the best guess forward prediction can be used to assist the search for the target in a new position.

This is not all that can be done with a Kalman filter but it's typical of a class of common applications.

I feel like Youtube Shorts follows the same logic as youtube where whales skew recommendations. So yeah, you get feed the same shit over and over as the rest of users.

OTOH, with tiktok I got surprised of how much "viral content" is tailored to me. I mean in the sense that I get a huge amount of videos from different trends from different creators, that indicates should be a big thing but then I realize that people around me, heavy tiktok users, barely get recommended or even not aware of.
Not multiplexed on boot — multiplexed at run time. Build a chip that speaks the GDDR protocol to the host GPU and has 2-4 GDDR channels coming out the other end and aggregates the attached memory at the cost of an extra chip, some latency, some power, and an extra chip. As far as the GPU is concerned, it’s an extra large GDDR chip, and it would allow a GPU vendor to squeeze in more RAM without adding more pins to the GPU or needing to route more memory channels directly to it.

(Compare to something like Apple’s designs or “Project Digits”. Current- and next-gen GPUs have considerably higher memory bandwidth but considerably less memory capacity. Mostly my point is that I think Nvidia or AMD could make a desktop-style GPU with 2-4x the RAM, somewhat worse latency, but otherwise equivalent performance without needing Samsung or another vendor to build higher capacity GDDR chips than currently exist.)

No, I think we're seeing a correction in the long term trend. It's possible that EV's will take over the car market, but if they do it will be because that's what consumers prefer, not because of government mandates.
Hey, mostly because the underlying TUI framework (textual) is _amazing_.

Not gonna lie, I am not a big fan of Python anymore because of the dependency hell you can run into when working with CUDA libraries but uv is a breath of fresh air and textual is just sooo easy.

Don't get me wrong, I am not saying that I would never consider rewriting it in Rust or Go, but the documentation and guides from Textual were great resources and the creator, Will, also seems like a really nice guy :D

Edit: To be explicit, I believe that Python has currently the most advanced and accessible TUI ecosystem. At least, that was my impression after checking a few examples on an afternoon.
I think OP is saying there is always scope for improvement until it is 100% not that 100% or bust .
Crowdsourced reviews often provide objective information that is not offered by the restaurant.
Sometimes the omission is unintentional, but more importantly, independent reviews will write negative things that a restaurant never would.
A restaurant won’t tell you there’s cockroaches running across the floor, or that it takes 30 minutes after being seated to place a drink order.
There have been patent enforcements in the range of hundreds of millions of dollars, against companies that are household names. Your friend is incorrect.
A Markov process is a random process where the new state only depends on the old state, not anything else. This can be stretched to include almost anything, since you can expand the definition of the state to record history or whatever you want, although you may make the process much more difficult to work with mathematically. In other words, the fact that something may be a Markov process is generally not interesting, because it is a very broad definition, and doesn't guarantee any interesting properties without further assumptions.

The wavefunction in QM doesn't evolve randomly, so I would say it is not technically a Markov process. On the other hand you can create a theory of observables derived from QM that is "random" (depending on your interpretation of quantum mechanics).
I’m not saying these problems are non-existent in co-ops, but that the underlying attitude and mechanisms (co-ownership, more communication on eye level, generally smaller scope) help making co-ops more robust for these situations of “mismatching expectations”. Of course, people might need to leave or get kicked out of co-ops for various reasons and there are ways to manage that as well.

It’s also not a competition about who can win the argument: I think we’re both making our points and it seems like you have a more pessimistic (realistic?) idea of who the workers are. My experience with co-ops is anecdotal, of course.
I don't really think being resistant to evil governments is within scope here. Using passports isn't perfect, but practically speaking it's a hell of a lot better than what we have now which is a free for all.

It's called disputed territory. That's the nature of disputed territory. South Korea doesn't owe North Korean citizens any rights while they are at war (since the 50s), for example, and claims the whole Korean peninsula.

It is wrong to say the PA is not at war with Israel. They currently have a cooperation agreement they are holding to. The PA still compensates any terrorists committing attacks against Israel and disputes Israel's sovereignty. The issue is not resolved as the implementation of the agreements at the Camp David accords were interrupted by the second intifada.

This is what is called an unresolved conflict. It is true that Israel has full military control. The reason the conflict is unresolved is because the Palestinians refuse to capitulate under any circumstances, and because despite all the claims to the contrary, Israel is actually unwilling to destroy, oppressively occupy, or perpetrate a genocide on the Palestinians.

Why Microsoft hasn't fixed BitLocker yet
A message from the trenches:

- My startup was acquired a few years ago

- Part of acquisition was to raise a patent for the core of the solution, the patent was issued in USA and UK

- They then proceeded to mismanage and fail the startup

- The startup is in zombie mode, with 2 years of cash left

- I have left them

Now I'm in a situation where I want to do it again, but fix some key issues, but due to the patent, it keeps me locked out of the core approach to the solution.

Yes, I have a way to re-invent the core and develop a new solution, but I'd be dancing very close to a fire of litigation that I cannot afford.

My observations after this process are:

- Patents protect the patent holder, not the patent creator

- Company Secrets are a cleaner way of doing business

- You don't have to tell anyone how a Company Secret works, keep it a secret and you're fine

- Secret approaches to software development are hard to enforce if you have an on premise solution

- Cloud based SaaS solutions aren't always the best way for every application type (mine was in the Cyber Security space)

Edited for formatting
I would strongly discourage a Patent and go down the company secrets path.

It protects who owns your company from having core staff relaunch their own solution.

You could argue that it stops some competitors, but in reality they just have to develop a solution that doesn't align with 'every one' of your patent claims and they can bypass you, if they have legal funds to fight you.
There is private (non ACA) insurance you can purchase without an open enrollment period in the states. However they get around it by being able to deny you coverage for preexisting conditions.
They need to shut them down, but this would mean they’d lose money on their investment not paid back (unless securitized, where bonds are issued to buy out the remaining debt to shut them down, and ratepayers paying that off over the next 20-30 years).

The advantage of a metal roof as opposed to most others is the reduction of nooks and crannies where embers can get trapped and light the roof on fire. Metal roofs are also more slick, and dangerous to work on, than any gritty material. A hipped standing seam metal roof with a moderate pitch is going to shed embers pretty handily on both the windward and leeward sides.

I don't see anything explicit on those pages about solving this problem though?

Like with my current clevis luks setup, which I somewhat random have to regen, I'm bound to PCR 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 7, 8 and 9.

From https://uapi-group.org/specifications/specs/linux_tpm_pcr_re... that gives me:

0 - Core system firmware executable code

1 - Core system firmware data/host platform configuration; typically contains serial and model numbers

2 - Extended or pluggable executable code; includes option ROMs on pluggable hardware

3 - Extended or pluggable firmware data; includes information about pluggable hardware

4 - Boot loader and additional drivers; binaries and extensions loaded by the boot loader

7 - SecureBoot state

8 - Commands and kernel command line

9 - All files read (including kernel image)

Now the problem is, 8 and 9 I would argue are the most important (since technically 7 probably covers everything else in that list?), whereas my kernel and initrd are not encrypted and my command line can just be edited (but normally wouldn't need to be). But I can't find anyway to get grub, from a booted system, to simulate the output of those values so I can pre-seal the LUKS volume with the new values.

So in practice, I just always need to remember my password (bad) which means there's no way to make a reasonable assessment of system integrity on boot if I get prompted (I'd argue also the UI experience here isn't good: if I'm being prompted for a password, that clevis boot script should output what changed at what level - i.e. if secure boot got turned off, or my UEFI firmware changed on me when I'm staying in a hotel, maybe I shouldn't unlock that disk).
"It's insane that China can engage in genocide but engaging in genocide ourselves is so controversial"

This isn't really a good argument. Someone else being horrible isn't grounds to be horrible yourself. There are better arguments for banning TikTok, like protecting the youth from having their brains rotted out.
Google has YouTube. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
The features table is confusing. You use a red X emoji for features you consider bad, and a green checkmark emoji for those you consider good, but usually those mean “does not have the feature” or “has the feature”.

It also feels disingenuous that to use a negative crying emoji for your competitor’s subscriptions but a happy smiling emoji for yours. Your is subscription is cheaper, but also no one has heard of your app yet and there’s no reason to trust you. If your app were free or a one-time purchase, I could be somewhat justified.
Not sure you're the target audience for this kind of verification. I see it being more for people with a public persona

A parallel might be not necessarily a Public persona, but still identity verified
Right now the issue is that the US mostly doesn't. The US market is far more open to China than the reverse, everyone knows this.

Free trade should also be fair trade.

Personally I wouldn't really give a shit about TikTok if the Chinese market was actually at all open to US companies for this area (and if there were reasonable protections about personal data in the US overall).
I don't trust tools that don't disclose precisely how they track you. They say:

Combining Inputs: We combine key session details (which shall not be named for security reasons) with a cryptographically secure secret value.
SHA-512 Hashing: This combined input is hashed using SHA-512, producing a highly secure, anonymized session ID.

They know that we can see what they send in their tracking payload right? They send:
hostname, language, referrer, screen resolution, page title, url, and a website id.

So I would presume their highly secretive & secure user session id is:
hash(salt + website id + ip + HTTP user-agent + screen resolution? + language?)

I don't see that it says how frequently the salts are rotated, which is one of the key points on which the "no consent banner required" tools like this claim that consent isn't required.
How does it boost productivity? I feel like it is a distraction.
A bad copy of the real thing
If you want to be precise, you can call the whole thing „Space Transportation System“. I think it was clear from context here though. The thing often called shuttle is the Orbiter.
This. We now have proof positive that network effects are stronger than it repulsion at hostile changes.

On that note, Facebook going all in on AI slop is brilliant. Most users will stay at the trough for ever increasing lengths of time.
Kind of.

"Tracking", here, means providing some kind of `f(time) -> space` API.

Dead reckoning is a mechanism for incorporating velocity and whatnot into a previously estimated position to estimate a new position (and is also one possible way to implement tracking, usually with compounding errors).

The Kalman filter example is better than just dead reckoning. For a simple example, imagine you're standing still but don't know exactly where. You have an API (like GPS) that can estimate your current position within some tolerance. If you're able to query that API repeatedly and the errors aren't correlated, you can pinpoint your location much more precisely.

Back to tracking with non-zero velocity, every new position estimate (e.g., from GPS) can be incorporated with all the information you've seen so far, adjusting your estimates of velocity, acceleration, and position and giving you a much more accurate current estimate but also better data for dead-reckoning estimates while you wait for your next external signal.

The technique (Kalman Filter) is pretty general. It's just merging all your noisy sources of information according to some ruleset (real-world physics being a common ruleset). You can tack on all sorts of other interesting information, like nearby wifi signals or whatever, and even very noisy signals can aggregate to give precise results.

Another application I threw it at once was estimating my true weight, glycogen reserves, ..., from a variety of noisy measurements. The sky's the limit. You just need multiple measurements and a rule for how they interact.

It's good that you have a "read" statement to force confirmation by the user of the command, but all it takes is one errant accidental enter to end up running arbitrary code returned from the LLM.

I'd constrain the tool to only run "ffmpeg" and extract the options/parameters from the LLM instead.

Most handwriting is legible to its owner. This would indicate that there is enough consistency within a person's writing style to differentiate letters, etc., even if certain assumptions about resemblance to any standard may not hold. I wonder if there are modern OCR methods that incorporate old code-breaking techniques like frequency analysis.
yea lets not do that. if we all decided not to have kids we would not have to worry at all about the fucking environment eh? :)
The answer in formal education is probably somewhere in the middle. The stuff you learn shouldn't be obsolete by the time you graduate but at the same time they should be integrating new advancements sooner.

The problem has also always been that those who know enough about cutting edge stuff are generally not interested in teaching for a fraction of what they can get doing the stuff.
