that’s heartening. do you believe the average pcp is competent to review an mri and act on it given the specialist’s report?

as i said if you want infinite dimensional things like Fourier transforms acting on function spaces you may benefit from additional abstraction. but even those people will benefit from having learned Rn first. i’m as much with bourbaki as t

even Golub and van Loan basically start there.

if you know how to handle real or complex coordinate vectors and matrices you’re one only isomorphism away (aka choice of basis) from dealing with an “abstract” vector space (except if you want to talk about finite fields or infinite dimens

my personal pet theory is that china could in principle block whatever they wanted, but, decide instead to block only sometimes and with some random noise thrown in, if only to impose a tax or cost on trying to connect out but to have some

my pcp doesn’t even have the tools to view an mri even though part of a hospital system.

i make a code analogy because i believe the US was intended as a country of ideas and laws and systems, as opposed to the legacy of arbitrary ruling classes and colonial extraction that it separated itself from. pessimistically one might wo

without the exploit in hand few would believe the vuln was actionable if only because it hadn’t been used before.

i remember visiting zurich once and standing at a light rail station when the next train was one minute overdue and all the people waiting were looking at their watches in total disbelief and consternation. warms my sla-minded heart :)

consumers are harmed because Apple is forced to build in a way that expands its qa surface to include hypothetical tbd third-party integrations thus worsening their products, and surely opening up to more fines by the same EU who set them u

if nothing else, one has to give the ruling coalition credit for debugging the vaunted constitutional system. maybe the winning argument for the opposition will be to amend away all the vulnerabilities that were just exploited.

i wasn’t intending to say that the regulations favor a specific current competitor but rather that they are intended to force apple to build in a way that favors a certain kind of potential competitor who can only operate in Europe. from a

there are just and unjust laws. i agree that to operate in a country (or block of countries) a company must be prepared to respect even the unjust laws. which apple has obviously been willing to do all day long in many parts of the world. i

i recognize freedom (especially as it relates to commerce) is a social construct and therefore has limits defined by society. At the same time, it does seem like in this instance at least the EU wants to have it both ways: ie it wants to be

i’m not a fan of apple, but they do build and own their IP and i respect their right to license it on terms they decide. Is it not expropriating them to suddenly say “mighty fine business you made there mister, your competitors who happen

for the sake of debate: if androland is available across the way, must disneyland provide skybridges so its guests can immediately leave its own attractions and frequent its competitors’ instead?

by coderatlarge 1y ago
should disneyland also be required to reserve spaces for competing attractions?

seems to me this alone is a show-stopper besides all the other terrible implications: “the best estimates show around a 10 percent false positive rate for client-side scanning – which could see a huge number of people accused of crimes they

that sounds like a super-powerful feature especially for multithreaded debugging though i’ve never used anything like it.

thanks for the pointers glad to hear it’s all still there i haven’t seen this type of capability used in too many companies tbh and it seems like a lot of opportunity to improve stability and debugging speed and even code exploration/l

isn’t this essentially a warrantless search of any bystander who happens to connect to the tower? basically random, digital stop-and-frisk?

kind of a “first contact” story in some respects with lots of speculation about consciousness and symbolic communication. for me, a number of ideas not seen in other scifi. curious if others feel the same way. decent quality audiobook avail

interesting parallels with “Arrival” without the time travel aspects. first time i read about AI slave ships.

in a slightly different direction: many sites also take it upon themselves to implement ip blocks. for example, us-based utility companies or healthcare companies seem to block IPs from “strategic competitor” countries (let’s say) but also

the page also says “ GNU Artanis was Certificated as Awesome Project at 2013 Lisp in summer projects “ so i guess this is not news?
