Oh what fun to discover the horror of causality!

For some areas of research, truly understanding causality is essentially impossible - if well-controlled experiments are impossible and the list of possible colliders and confounders is unknowable.

The key problem is that any causal relation can be an illusion caused by some other, unobserved relation!

This means that in order to show fully valid causal effect estimates, we need to

- measure precisely

- measure all relevant variables

- actively NOT measure all harmful (i.e. falsely correlated) variables

I heartily recommend the book of why [1] by Pearl and Mackenzie for a deeper reading and the "haunted DAG" in McElreath's wonderful Statistical Rethinking.

Same here. If you need it occasionally for personal use it's fine. But as soon as you need to swap documents with other people on a regular basis it just doesn't work, as there is just a bazillion ways in which it will not render MSO documents properly and it will drive both sides mad.

As long as it's just a "a document" that's consisting of headlines, paragraphs and bullet points it might not matter, but anything involving more advanced formatting, even just formal letter will usually look bad once loaded in LibreOffice, unfortunately.

Potty would be a small pot, for keeping the lentils. Crib is a mistranslation, I don't know German well enough to know if it's even a possible translation but the word means small crop. The ashes go into the crop because they are fertilizer. Both words, pot and crop, are in diminutive form which makes the sentence have a sing-song feel and memorable.

Apple used to require bitcode (LLVM IR) for App Store submissions.

It's not clear what you're describing, so hard to say whether it's common.

RSUs are stock. When you get them, you pay tax on their value at income rates. To deal with this you can delay actually getting the RSUs (e.g. double-trigger vesting, common), or the company itself can provide liquidity for taxes (e.g. Carta's net settlement program, not common).

Either way, 83(b) elections don't apply. They do apply to RSAs and options with early exercise, so maybe you had one of those.

My experience here is as a founder who's spent entirely too many hours with lawyers trying to engineer the most employee-friendly stock plan possible.

The problem(-s) described in the blog post are really acute for IoT in general, especially if you want your device to run on batteries or you have a limited data budget.

> Therefore, when you try to continue talking to the server over a previously established session, it will not recognize you. This means you’ll have to re-establish the session, which typically involves expensive cryptographic operations and sending a handful of messages back and forth before actually delivering the data you were interested in sending originally.

The blog post mentions Session IDs as a solution, but these require servers to be stateful, which can be challenging in most deployments. An alternative is Session Tickets (https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc5077), but these may cause issues when offloading networking to another device, such as a cellular modem, as their implementation may be non-standard or faulty.

incoming rant

These issues could be mitigated—or even solved—by using mature software platforms like Zephyr RTOS and their native networking stacks, which receive more frequent updates than traditional “all-in-one-package” SoCs. However, many corporations choose to save a few dollars on hardware at the expense of incurring thousands in software engineering costs and bug-hunting. It is often seen as more cost-effective to purchase a cellular modem with an internal MCU rather than a separate cellular modem and a host MCU to run the networking stack. It is one of the many reasons why many IoT devices are utter garbage.

I think copyright is counterproductive and destroys innovation more than copycats. Companies will evergreen patents eternally and then sit on it forever and either die out or become litigious trying to protect their patent. Just look at Disney with Mickey mouse, Amazon bought up the best text to speech system known to man and they literally don't use it at all, or look at the medical industry... They spend billions on slightly tweaking delivery methods to keep patents alive for decades. It's grotesque. Or the nemesis system in gaming.

Those countries are not going to abide anyways (and I honestly don't care because this system is so messed up anyways, 5 years should be more than enough time to make your money) but instead we get rot.

Sweet summer child. Let me unfold a very precise prediction:

* By the end of 2nd-3rd year. Trump/congress/republican party would propose an amendment that president could rule two consecutive terms. It would be accepted.

* Trump would be elected to the next term.

* By the end of 6th-7th year there would be proposal to extend presidency to three terms.

* Rinse and repeat.

If you think it's unreal I have very bad news for you: how often it happens in real world.

Yeah, from some very brief research I could only find a singular Linux kernel developer/maintainer/creator who said[0] "I'd absolutely love to have [the new 2020 Air], if it just ran Linux".

Who knows if that one person has even used Apple hardware before or has access to the necessary hardware to put toward a practical use such as a "development platform" while travelling, or, "doing test builds and boots and now the actual [Linux kernel] release tagging"[1][2], let alone be supportive of experimenting with Rust in the Linux kernel[3].

The history of Linux demonstrates the project doesn't have the resources to go chasing support for a hardware platform just because Linus cares about the platform in question...

...even if at least "173 people, and many more" "contributed both to the Linux kernel side but also to the upstream Rust side to support the kernel's needs" in the initial merge[3].

India's AI Vaporware
I did a search for Indian AI LLMs.

Found articles containing with headlines containing phrases like: "10 Indian LLMs"

In such articles, almost every link to an Indian LLM was either a 404, or a landing page with a lot of claims but nothing that could be tried out, nothing open source, no github.

I researched press releases. The loudest claims of breakthrough progress were from an entity called "MahindraTech". When I went to their website, there was a message on there saying it was not accessible from outside India (I was trying to access it from outside India).

This reminds me of something from before the April 2024 Indian general elections. There was a huge hooplah about how Modi's speeches were going to be simultaneously translated into multiple Indian languages in real-time using AI. I was very excited about it. Nothing ever came of it.

Right now, if you look into the AI scene, there are startups that are excited about offering Indian-hosted DeepSeek. There are media articles lauding how DeepSeek (China's DeepSeek!) is being used as a pre-trained model to do fine-tuning on. I even saw a government minister talking about how DeepSeek would be hosted on cheap government owned infrastructure for Indian startups. They seem to have given up on pre-training an LLM.

The only serious thing I came across was a quote by Narayan Murthy (founder of InfoSys) saying that Indian AI entrepreneurs should come clean and admit that there isn't enough data to train AIs for Indian language translation.

The rest was just hype and vapor.

It's really quite pathetic.

Nah, I've often found the opposite to be true. Granted, it requires proper commit messages and code comments, but I've had my fair share of "oooh I see" moments when I encountered nonsensical crazy code. Sometimes it reassured me that it could safely go, other times it revealed a whole new dimension nobody was really aware of anymore that then got a good chunk of comment space in the code base.

Ugh. Could that be five damaged units? Finds metal shavings in new engine. Touts it as sabotage without explaining further. Spends the rest of the article on fear mongering. If this was an internal investigation, that would have been great. Doing a press conference about it? Sounds more like "before we investigate where it came from, should we take the opportunity to do some propaganda?"

Geoffrey, thanks for sharing your story with us. OR sure is a weird niche. Good enough algorithms for solving these problems have existed for decades1, but we still see low adoption and your 95% estimate of the companies not optimizing their operations rings true.

Similarly to you, I spent a short while trying to sell VRP optimization with an API business model, and what dawned on me was that most companies do not have the necessary in-house expertise to integrate optimization into their existing tools even if the API is well-designed. There also really seems not to be any urgency to do that and most logistics companies just offload their inefficiencies onto their customers. Your routes are not effective? No problem, just bill more.

Some years ago I heard about a Swedish team of optimization experts who got so fed up with selling optimization to unwilling transportation companies that they founded their own—just to mop the floor with their ineffective competition. :D

I agree that ease of use is key here. In my PhD dissertation, I tried to address the issue by adding self-adaptivity within transportation management systems, mostly through automatic parameter tuning and algorithm selection. Such approaches remove some amount of fiddling when the optimization tool is adapted to a new optimization problem. Worth a look, perhaps, if you're interested.

Many thanks again for the interesting article and all the best with Timefold.

1) E.g., already by the '90s, we had quite capable algorithms for the VRP. I have open-sourced a library of classical VRP algorithms called VeRyPy, containing simple and not-so-simple heuristic algorithms. It has enjoyed modest success among VRP researchers and practitioners. Nowhere near the success of OptaPlanner, but also, the purpose is different—OptaPlanner is production-ready, whereas VeRyPy is more geared towards education and research purposes.

There is no military security in Germany. Military hires low wage guys over “security” companies to guard their barracks and military objects. That’s shocking reality. There are no soldiers with dogs and armed G36 around. Swarms of hostile drones fly over military objects and make pictures of every detail inside. Sad reality. Sometimes I feel that the whole country is sabotaged.

And neither is a controversial take, especially for most technologists. Even those who love learning for its own sake will probably find it fulfilling to learn on the job provided they can get a job in a research-oriented company in the niche that interests them, and earning six figures a year instead of paying nearly as much for the privilege of doing menial labor in a doctoral program is certainly attractive.

I have no hate for PhDs or aspiring ones, but I can't relate to someone who would brush past either of those two arguments you cited without some very strong counterarguments on how they will work out supporting themselves and paying back those enormous loans.
I'm not sure if there's a definitive cause, I'm more describing the overall effect.

If you read the source: https://constitution.congress.gov/constitution/

On the "legislative" side:

> All legislative Powers herein granted shall be vested in a Congress of the United States, which shall consist of a Senate and House of Representatives.

> Congress shall have Power To ... declare War, grant Letters of Marque and Reprisal, and make Rules concerning Captures on Land and Water;

Meanwhile on the "executive" side:

> He shall have Power, by and with the Advice and Consent of the Senate, to make Treaties, provided two thirds of the Senators present concur;

To me, this is pretty clear, at least about things like war and treaties and land acquisition. But it's easy to come up with a ton of examples from all parties that seem to violate these very basic rules.

What I would read as very fundamental "violations" of the document are often upheld by courts as being in agreement with it.

So, to answer your question, yes, they just sit back and chill with a 76% disapproval rating, but it took 119 congresses to get there. https://news.gallup.com/poll/1600/congress-public.aspx

Gasprom fined for $20 billion due to stopping gas flow. IMHO, it's a huge reason to blow the pipe. Pipe is much cheaper to build or repair. Moreover, one of Nord Stream 2 tubes is intact, so RF still can supply gas to EU if Germany will allow NS 2 to work.
So you are saying that making a claim about math ability by culture, in this case your family's specific culture, is inaccurate.

I'm saying the same thing, applied to a wider level.
>3. CLIENT uses it's identity to request token from ISSUER/ATTESTER

The ISSUER and ATTESTER are different roles. As previously quoted, "Clients explicitly trust Attesters to perform attestation correctly and in a way that does not violate their privacy." The RFC is explicit that, when all of the roles are held by the same entity, the attestation should not rely on unique identifiers. But that's exactly what a session cookie is.

>You can see how the ISSUER/ATTESTER can identify the client as the source of the "anonymous request" to the ORIGIN because the ISSUER, ATTESTER and ORIGIN are the same entity, and therefore it can use a timing attack to correlate the request to the ORIGIN (1.) with the request to the ISSUER/ATTESTER (3.).

No timing or spacing attack is needed here. If I have to provide Kagi with a valid session cookie in order to get the tokens, then they already have a unique identifier for me. There is no guarantee that Kagi is not keeping a 1-to-1 mapping of session cookies to ISSUER keypairs, or that Kagi could not, if compelled, establish distinct ISSUER keypairs for specific session cookies.
Then maybe it needs to die.
The smaller cluster is not necessarily a good thing. It may not be able to take advantage of unbalanced load on experts.
AI-on-the-Edge: Transforming Analog Meters into Smart Devices with ESP32
Absolute pitch is frequently a nuisance. American orchestras tune to A=440, but in Europe A=442 or A=443 are more common. Analog recordings often deviate significantly from any pitch standard, either due to inaccuracies in tape speeds or due to a deliberate stylistic choice. These variations are completely unnoticeable to someone with good relative pitch, but can be a source of confusion or discomfort for someone with absolute pitch.
