The chicken develops a theory where "new day => new food" is a law, even though the reality is more nuanced. No matter the # of observations of the feeding event, there isn't enough information to make a law about its caus

I'm still skimming through the article on my mobile, so I haven't read it all, but I think "the problem of induction" by Hume is the core of the dilemma. Russel on the problem: The farmers' chicks get fed every day

Have you tested the behaviour of your algorithm on pagination and dynamics of link position over a day? I assume the good thing about the snowball effect is that "making it to the frontpage" gives you guaranteed and pronounced exp

No, S3 buckets named after hostnames are served when said hostname is pointing to S3 servers . Bob owns bob.com and sets CNAME bob.com.us-east-1.amazonaws.com. Eve creates the bucket and can now serve any static content she wants.

The article doesn't say that sideloading will stop working, it's just that Play Store will completely switch to the format. This has to do more with the exponentially growing storage req of apps more than anything. Average user is

That's what I wanted to ask, where do we draw the line of copyright when it comes to inputs of generative ML? It's perfectly fine for me to develop programming skills by reading any code regardless of the license. When a corp sn

VTA plays an important role in a number of processes, including [1] - motivational salience ("want") - associative learning (if a neutral/novel experience is paired with "painful" or "enjoyable" innate ins

The concept of "laziness" is bulls*t to me - humans have an innate drive to survive, learn & be curious about surroundings, plan and gather resources. The only way to halt that is by experiencing something out of your control:

Alphanumeric mode (which is 45 symbols: [A-Z0-9] and nine special symbols) is the only QR mode that's reliably supported among all scanner library implementations (latin1 is part of the extended mode, Unicode & raw binary get detec

4 bytes get converted to 6 alnums and those gets packed into 3 * 11 = 33 "qr-bits" <=> [33/32 - 1] ~ 3% loss.

Regarding binary and QR: seems like the state of QR scanners is a cruel joke. There are multiple specs, of which only ISO 18004:2006 survived. It says: A QR code contains a mode indicator, character count and the bitstream encoding the char

Just xor-ing a secret key that's as long as a message is guaranteed to be 100% safe, given that you don't reuse the key. You can take a look at Shannon's perfect secrecy theorem and one time pads. Symmetric encryption is easy

I've taken a look at a handful of CNN based models for COVID diagnosis via chest scans and I believe they are pure noise. The convolutional layers often get activated nowhere near the actual chest, and they do not seem to grasp the ana

Rust is a language whose selling point is safety so I don't see unsafe code appearing often no matter its popularity. I do agree that it is divisive, but sometimes it also feels like humbleness of research programming languages (esp. H

The wording may be harsh, but the idea is roughly correct. Learning Rust and fighting the borrow checker requires CS fundamentals knowledge. However, that doesn't mean the person can write concise code or have good soft skills, or be a

It's cool that you market it as material design and sharable and having a fancy stack... but all I care is whether I get useful info about CS:GO. The ugliest maps programmed for training are more useful imho. The charts don't help

If the SSO system is legacy and must use cookies, then to request access for cookies you need to call requestStorageAccess() in a frame hosted on the origin, which will open a prompt asking the user to allow such cookie access.

You don't need a shared storage if you do SSO the right way. Just redirect with a session token. And if the SSO server wants to share state with the other services, like forcing a logout on a specific app, it can always do it on the se

Just do a redirect with session as a query parameter (like many OAuth apps do it anyway). Each site can then persist the user session for more than a month.

There is very little evidence GeneSight results mean anything for efficacy. Tolerability and dose metabolism in the best case.

Maybe I'm bitter and biased because I like SSC, but based on the author's social media profiles and his new book description, he's purely jealous that he wasn't allowed to be the man to "expose" SSC and how Les

That's exactly the point. The selective classes (SNRI/SSRI) are marketed as a complete and safe replacement for MAOIs, on top of the chemical structure irony. Even the new atypicals with innovative chemical structure (and targets
