Very insightful actually. Taste and vision are both instances of holding a model that predicts a good result beyond the threshold of validity in theory but reality happens to align. Is it luck then? Perhaps meta-luck where lucky weights pro

I suppose the Georgian calendar includes this gap officially? Or did the catholic world just jump from system to system? If it includes the gap officially, then yea, error is the right thing. But if we just moved to a new calendar, then a

It’s not even a level thing[0]. I think the physical advantages that come with male puberty are significant even at 14-15. https://www.cbssports.com/soccer/news/a-dallas-fc-under-15-b...

The intention is to make editing easy and quick on slow and memory deficient computers. This is how for example editing a pdf with form field values can be so fast. It’s just appending new values for those nodes. If you need to omit edits y

There is something deep in this observation. When I reflect on how I write code, sometimes it’s backwards. Sometimes I start with the data and work back through to the outer functions, unnesting as I go. Sometimes I start with the final ret

I think that whole section of the post was "For example, in Kotlin," presumably these are true in that language.

I was under the impression these offices closed during the pandemic and the return to office order is bringing people back into those places. If that’s the case I don’t think this is some sort of planned disruption but rather poor planning.

The automation should be setting flags on videos. Users should have preferences for opting in or out of flags with reasonable defaults. If there is a jurisdictional requirement in a users location YouTube sets the preference to disabled acc

I have a planned trip to work around. I want to make sure those are booked, and allocate the rest optimally. I suppose this is the same problem as having extra days to allocate.

I used to do something like this all the time with C/C++ compiler tests. I tried lots of fancy tools and stuff, but I kept going back to: expand all macros and retokenize to one token per line (I made a custom build of the preprocessor

Env vars over-share and files depend on local permissions. We should have a capabilities -like way to send secrets between processes. e.g., decrypt and expose on a Unix socket with a sha filename that can only be read from once, and then ge

I wonder if this coating would help solar cells avoid issues with small shadows causing the array to sag, by dispersing the shadow.

I like the idea of autolayout like flex for routing wires. There needs to be things like busses etc., feels like there is something there that could be flexed. Problem is the multiple dimensions of connections, so maybe something inspired b

This reminds me of an old idea I’ve toyed with. In a logic class in university we talked about how some logic is time dependent, like A is true 2 hours after B becomes true. I was inspired to try to think through a language like prolog that

Is anyone aware of a model that is trained to give photos a quality rating? I have decades of RAW files sitting on my server that I would love to pass over and tag those that are worth developing more. Would be nice to make a short list.

I’ve seen what happens many times when the abstraction fails, and people don’t understand the guts. The people who know the abstraction replace it with something based in the concrete, but without the middle layer, and which resembles the a

I suspect in cases like this the dog is hearing something you don't in the environment and has associated it with treat time, creating the expectation. If you reconfigure NTP to use her intuition, you risk biasing whatever the source i

The land with cattle on are the most productive, as they get quite a compliment of natural fertilizer from the cattle. I would say cattle do not spoil the land, but improve it. This can't help but be the case, given the way grass respo

Two things: - Grazers improve the capacity of grass to carbon capture - Some land is ONLY able to grow grass. The alternative is desertification, and so livestock is the only option to produce food. edit: unless you bring in fossil fertiliz

I suspect that because of conservation of energy, methane is a highly reactive over the short term, but ultimately an insignificant element in the big picture IF you ignore the massive oil inputs humans are adding to the system. That is to

by clord 3y ago
The water cycle is a great example because it is filtering the water as it goes, rapidly producing fresh water that rains on the land. Methane, likewise, is a short-lived byproduct of excess animal activity, and in a steady state sustainabl

you're right, this is greenwashing. I sell into the market sometimes and the hides are basically wasted unless you try hard to line up buyers. plus, if your beef is grass fed for its whole life like ours, it's carbon neutral, as a

I feel like it might be possible with dataflow analysis. Stepping through the regex maintaining a liveness set or something like that. Sort of like computing exemplar inputs, but with repetition as permitted exemplars. Honestly probably end

imo, it amounts to revisiting concepts once more general principles are found — and needed. For instance, you learn the alphabet, and it's hard. the order is tricky. the sounds are tricky, etc. but eventually, it get distilled to a pat

Exactly right. Biometrics are more like usernames than passwords. They are on display for all, and immutable. I should be able to change my password. Ideally username too, but not an expectation most sites hold to. I'd rather not have

I always have an awkward delay with interac transfers when doing in-person. like "so, what do you think of those jays" bla bla for several minutes. Works great when the transaction is not 100% live though.

It’s worth noting that this was done in a sunny place, it would be better to test this in an a place with a darker winter, that being the reason so many people are deficient in D. What is the incidence of deficiency in the study population?

Trees and grazing animals collaboratively replenish aquifers. Meadows, being porous, guide moisture downwards, preventing floods and evaporation. Animal droppings enhance soil bioactivity, boosting water capture. Moreover, this process, fre

&T, &mut T, and T are all different types in a sense. Hence ref is transmuting types during restructuring. Really, they are adding a new view, so perhaps this is like Haskell lenses, where you can make views with a different type th
