I recently played Sinistar Unleashed on my Linux laptop.

I was never able to get this game working on regular Windows hardware, even when I bought the game brand new and tried running it on a contemporary computer, but it runs fine with Wine and Proton.

I decidedly could not get it working on a dual boot of Windows 10 (that I installed just to play to it).

Granted, even with Wine it wasn’t trivial to get working, but it wasn’t that bad. The game is actually not bad, I would have loved playing it as a kid, but I had to wait 25 years for Wine to let me play it, apparently.

> when it turned out they were monitoring your watching habit

I think every single smart tv manufacturer does this today.

At least I know LG, Samsung, Sony, Amazon, Philips, Sharp and Vizio does.

Since your smart TV is on your same domestic IP, there's a market for getting data on your watching habits to combine with your browser habits collected elsewhere.

The advertisers know more about you by now than you do.

That's why AppleTV is the best option for the moment.

Same happens for Europeans; they do not want to travel to the US. Even some embassies call for caution, like Germany and the UK due to border/visa issues that happened.
Maybe I'm wrong, but that feels pretty similar to fingerprinting. Usually that's why online services try to fingerprint you, for advertising and data revenue.
What LaTeX replaced was:

a) typing the text of math papers and writing in the formulae by hand.

b) word processing which was fixed width and line based, where there would be three characters for 'top of an integral sign', middle and bottom, and you would have to align your three characters at the same horizontal point on three successive lines to make the integral sign, and also position all subscripts, exponents yourself.

The fact that LaTeX had an important mission and was successful in it doesn't mean that another thing is not needed now. Things have moved on. Replacing things which solved a problem doesn't mean going back to the situation before they existed.

Putting fluoride in water promotes freedom. That sounds crazy, but let me justify it.

If you are poor you can't go anywhere or buy anything. You're not free if you're poor. If you are sick, you may be confined to a hospital bed or not feel good enough to do anything. If you are sick you're not free.

Putting fluoride in water reduces dental costs and incidence of cavities and therefore tooth infections, particularly among societies poorest. Therefore, due to fluoridation in water some people are less sick and have more money and therefore are more free.

The contrasting view is that putting fluoride in water is literally medicating people without their affirmative consent. It is the government forcing you to take a medication. It is coercive and therefore an attack on your freedom to not take medication. It is the government interfering in your life.

The contrast between positive freedom, the freedom to do something, and negative freedom, the freedom from interference in your life, is the core political argument in America right now. Negative freedom, freedom from government interference, is being promoted by those seeking to weaken the government enough to supplant it. People who are poor and sick are likely unable to stand up for themselves or participate in solidarity against authority. This individual issue is relatively small, but you take 100's of issues like this, and the effect is to create a class of people who aren't able to do anything but be obedient workers.

What Rt are you worried about in 2025?
Thx for the explanation, makes sense.
I’ve never bought one of the dedicated Linux laptops, but I’ve had pretty good luck with AMD stuff.

My current laptop, Thinkpad P16s AMD Gen 2, was pretty straightforward to get working with NixOS. No special drivers, and everything, including WiFi and function buttons on the keyboard, worked fine without any kind of special concessions.

This was also the case for my last non-Mac, from 2017-2020, I got Ubuntu installed on there without many headaches, and it wasn’t a specific Linux laptop, though again it was AMD.
The obvious solution if you want to badge on exits but maintain fire safety is emergency exits trigger the fire alarm when opened.
If you mean for how to use Taylor expansions and linear algebra, here's one I just made up.

Let's say I want to differentiate tr(X^T X), tr is the trace, X is a matrix, and X^T is its transpose. Expand:

tr((X + dX)^T (X + dX)) = tr(X^T X) + 2 tr(X^T dX) + tr(dX^T dX).

Our knowledge of linear algebra tells us that tr is a linear map. Hence, dX -> 2 tr(X^T dX) is the linear mapping corresponding to the Jacobian of tr(X^T X). With a little more work we could figure out how to write it as a matrix.
I got the same impression as you the Bright, Edelman, and Johnson (MIT) notes seems more driven my mathematicians where I find the Parr and Howard paper wanting. Though I agree with them

> Note that you do not need to understand this material before you start learning to train and use deep learning in practice

I have an alternative version

> You don't need to know math to train good models, but you do need to know math to know why your models are wrong.

Referencing "All models are wrong"

I think another part is that the Bright, Edleman, and Johnson paper are also introducing concepts such as Automatic Differentiation, Root Finding, Finite Difference Methods, and ODEs. With that in mind it is far more important to be coming from the approach where you are understanding structures.

I think there is an odd pushback against math in the ML world (I'm a ML researcher). Mostly because it is hard and there's a lot of success you can gain without it. But I don't think that should discourage people from learning math. And frankly, the math is extremely useful. If we're ever going to understand these models we're going to need to do a fuck ton more math. So best to get started sooner than later (if that's anyone's personal goal anyways)
They are one step ahead of you. :-)

So, Finland gave fluoride a shot in a few cities back in the '60s through the '90s, but they didn’t see much point to it and dropped it. Now, some spots there are even filtering it out of the water. You can still get it in toothpaste and mouthwash, though.

There’s this study I read that says the top five countries for dental health are Denmark, Germany, Finland, Sweden, and the UK. The US? It’s lagging at ninth. Funny thing is, out of those top five, only the UK messes with fluoride in their water, and even then, it’s just for like 5% of folks.

Honestly, it kinda feels like skipping the fluoride in water might be the smarter move.
Thank you for writing these thoughts.

I've also reached a similar conclusion while building ZeeeroOS from scratch.

There's also Fat binaries(arch independent) that should be considered but no one does when building for Linux.

99% likely they're using a REST API, which is... HTTP.

Even if it's gRPC or something more exotic, it'll be over TLS (you best hope it is).

You can have a webapp cached locally on your device. PWAs allow developers to create an SPA you can open from your homescreen, and to do that API interaction the same way as a native app.

I hope you and your family are well, and it's great that tech helped. But please, don't think that because this tech worked in this instance it can't be made safer and securer.
I thought this was going to be a bunch of stuff about Twitter. This is way better. :-)
From your link: "Although CO2 gets most of the attention, it accounts for less than half of this warming. Two-thirds come from non-CO2 forcings." So it's much over 5%.

All of transport sector emissions makes up 20%. The other subsectors are decarbonising, but there's no tech solution in sight for air travel in the needed timeframe. And air travel is growing alarmingly quickly (doubled between 2006 and 2019).

All the individual slices of the pie we can tackle are pretty small, aviation is one of the bigger ones. We can't keep subdividing and then concluding for each one that it's too small to matter.

"How will this happen?
1) A Battalion of marines, 10th Mountain & a mass of US Air Force Security Police are “quietly” alerted to draw weapons and Extreme Cold Weather Gear.

2) AFSOC CCT “airport control” teams and Special Forces mountain troops will be alerted to take Nuuk airport.

3) Dozens of C-17 & refueling aircraft missions will be scheduled to go to Nuuk & Thule.
A clandestine capable civil airliner will carry CCT/SOF to Nuuk. A follow on C-17 missions to bring the below listed to take over administration.

4) US Marshals, ICE & DHS Swat teams will be quietly alerted to be prepared to take over airport & police duties on streets.

5) A US Special Operations Expeditionary warfare sea base & a helicopter carrier will depart east coast, stop in Wilmington NC to embark follow on SOF/Marines and head to Nuuk to act as interim “capitol/embassy” for new “American” administrators brought from Alaska.

6) Trump declares it a US protectorate territory. Names it Trump-land.

Emulate a network layer to serve a pre-packaged bundle. Neat "platform", but as a developer no thanks.

While apps are spying etc, making them is usually a no-brainer compared to churning and leaky web stacks. And probably not a single time a webapp loaded for me when I tried it outside standing in the wind trying to figure something out. It was always an app that started and helped and didn't ever scroll horizontally while doing so.
> Even before getting into SIMD, try using Rust for concurrent, succinct, or external-memory data structures. It quickly becomes clear where the friction is.

It's the exact opposite for me: I use concurrent data structures more often in Rust than I do in C++ because I don't have to worry about dumb data race bugs. If one of my Bevy systems is slow, I slap par_iter() on the query and if it compiles it probably works, or at least fails for a not-stupid reason.
TLDR: I’ve got stuff to do.

I feel exactly the same way. I recently bought my father-in-law an M4 iMac which he thought was a disproportionately nice gift for no apparent reason.

Oh there are some very compelling reasons for it. My tech support load went way down and he’s super happy. Win-win.
In that case the only difference between a webapp and a normal app would be the permissions, wouldn't it?

US shows the risk of running a government by Signal
Once you start trying to cross-reference a public health campaign with something related to peoples' diets, it becomes difficult to make super broad and conclusive statements.

Here's some interesting data (2003 I believe, so pretty old) [1]: It reports that most of Europe, Canada, Australia, and South America experiences cavities at rates higher than the United States. However: Many of these countries have public health care; the US does not. Is the US under-reporting? (I didn't dig much deeper into the underlying data; may not be a relevant concern).

Three things I think are likely to be true: (1) Fluoridated toothpaste is widely available and cheap. (2) Cavity rates are significant even in countries with high rates of fluoridation. (3) Fluoridating the water supply carries with it a non-zero monetary cost. I tend to believe that these three realities, at the very least, justify the conversation as being one we should have. It could be the case that water fluoridation made a ton of sense in a world where people didn't have as much access to fluoridated toothpaste, but nowadays the typical person has hit the limit on what it can do for them, and ingesting more is, at best, doing nothing.

Here's another way I like to think about it: Put the science aside for a second (I know, hard, not ideal, but bear with me). You've got two people who are low income. Person A believes, for their own health and in the expression of their own personal liberties, they want access to fluoride; but the Government is not fluoridating their water. They can spend $5 a month to buy fluoridated toothpaste; possibly not even more expensive than the toothpaste they were already buying. Person B is living in the opposite world: They believe that they do not want to ingest fluoride, but the government is fluoridating their water. They would have to spend many dozens to hundreds of dollars a month buying water bottled somewhere more natural. From a personal liberty and economics perspective: Its pretty clear-cut.

Assyrian here, I agree to most of what you said, however

> appears his mother was in fact from a Jewish family since her father's name was Isaak Halabee

we have many Hormuzd [1][2], but we also have many Isaacs and Davids, I find it a weak argument to deduce that a name dictates religious adherence if said person is coming from the middle east. To me these names are as Arameans/Syriac or Assyrian Christian as they are Jewish, early Christianity takes a lot from Judaism. But such view about the names might not be shared among western Christian.

To reinforce my argument about names, due to cultural suppression, many Assyrians were not allowed to choose Assyrian or even Christian name, so they had to choose a non Islamic Arabic name(some would end up with two name, an Assyrian one and an Arabic one). An outside observer will conclude that we are Arabs, if they don't take into account forced homogenization.

we can't nor do we don't have the power to promote our culture given that we live in constant hell with no hope. we live on a day by day basis.

My nation has and still is under constant suppression and ethic cleansing by the Arab and Kurdish colonialist. I studied under both the Kurdish and Arab regimes, in both Assyrians don't exist, we are Kurd or Arab Christians.

I will let you take a guess if the Jews that lived in the region are mentioned under the Arab and Kurdish media/education system.

> For instance in English you'll need to know if a subject is a third person singular or not to adjust the verb.

There is a suprising amount of subtlety here. What you need to known is if the subject is syntactically singular or not. Once you have that, it does not matter is the subject is actually singular. For instance, if you are talking to a single person, you say still say "you are" instead of "you is", because "you" is syntactically plural, regardless of its actual meaning.

This is very useful for generating grammatically correct sentences (or testing the grammar of existing sentences). The set of features that cause this type of inter-word agreement are called phi features (typically count, gender, person, and case). Since phi features are purely syntactic, you tag words with them just like you tag words with their part of speach.

In real speach, this can get weird, as it is possible for the same realized word to have different phi features depending on its sementic meaning. However, if all you care about is determining if a sentence is gramatical, you do not care if it means what was intended.

As an aside regarding Japanese, there have been some attempts to model Japanese politeness markers as a form of agreement; however, I have never found those arguements to be convincing.
r/flairedusersonly , the great bastion of freedom of speech, of course feels it "scary" to even allow anyone posting who hasn't been safely found to be part of the Inner circle. And even downvotes or the slightest disagreement from cultists already in the circle disagreeing must be "infiltrators".
Considering that Europe is composed of many countries with massively different histories, cultures, economies and languages I find that a very unconvincing argument. The US are much more culturualy homogeneous than Europe. I mean just go across the country and look at the patriotic displays of flags which also transcends political differences. In contrast in Europe you first would be seeing different flags, but also displaying flags has very different acceptance rates in different countries.
They are, and I am entitled to not associate with them in any way, and tell others to do the same, for this specific comment alone. It says a lot about his views. Like seriously, because the UK a long time tried to conquer parts of the world, mass migration to the UK today is somehow OK? Slavery should be OK, too, according to him, then, since all races have been enslaved at some point in time of history. It is extremely poor reasoning, in poor taste. You should know better.
It is not a "fundamental limitation of digital systems". It is a limitation of streaming services.

If you had more throughout, more bit depth, etc you would have enough colors to not see banding. But the bitrates required (if you insist on 4k) are tough on SSD/HDD IO to say nothing about your network connection. And even if you have the best connection ever, most people don't and streaming services will want the bitrate to be as low as possible as long as the average viewer is not too upset, because delivering higher bitrate costs service real money and most customers don't have the connection for it and don't care about banding

So, one out of three webapps that you tested could handle this much text. It suggests that the problem for the other two is their implementation, rather than any limitation of the browser.

Of the two that failed, did you also try the app versions to see if they failed too? I really doubt the Notion app could handle 16000 lines of text.

> I have been working on some software in Rust recently that needs bit and byte manipulation, and we have "unsafe" everywhere and hugely complicated spaghetti compared to the equivalent code in C.

I'm curious what makes this so different from my experience. I rarely ever have to write "unsafe", and I'm writing quite low-level engine code that certainly uses bit manipulation. In fact, crates like bitflags and fixedbitset make it so easy that I tend to get dinged in code reviews for using bit flags when structs of booleans would be simpler :)
