One link deeper is the actual content; can we link there instead?

does anyone have a proper comparison of binary control systems like lore, xet, etc? i'd love to see how it handles mixed case workloads.

Yup. Uses browser automation to download originals (well, whatever storage setting you used)

A tool for backing up Google photos more incrementally than Google takeout:

They also keep their own inboxes; emails downloaded to or sent from the old version are not visible on the new version.

Couldn't help myself and ran a quick analysis:

https://colab.research.google.com/drive/1tstVoKkVP_8B7dTOofa...

nice plot at the bottom.

rank correlation between GDP and life expectancy (child mortality would have been maybe a bit better). uses a 20 year window in both directions per year. bootstraps for 5% and 95% quantiles of the rank correlation.

there looks to be a max around 1992, and steady downhill in correlation since then.

this seems unlikely to be an artifact of the analysis, though 1992 is eerily close to 20 years from the last date. 2013 is the last year where we have at least 15 years total symmetriclaly around the given year to include in the correlation for that year.

Does this have the same gtasks API limitations as the rest, namely that it can't set or retrieve task deadline *time*?

... works with Pushbullet apps.

Yes, but it can be more of a pain keeping track of pairs. In production though, this is what's done. And given a fault, the debug binary can be found in a database and used to gdb the issue given the core. You do have to limit certain online optimizations in order to have useful tracebacks.

This also requires careful tracking of prod builds and their symbol files... A kind of symbol db.

FAANGs we're deeply involved in designing LTO. See, e.g.,

https://research.google/pubs/thinlto-scalable-and-incrementa...

And other refs.

And yet...

Move all the hot BBs near each other, right?

Happy user of kagi for several years. This is the opposite of my experience. Your comment strikes me as dishonest.

I thought that what constitutes a measurement is well understood; it's just the entanglement between the experiment and the observer, and the process is called decoherence - and the collapse itself is a probabilistic process as a result.

AFAIK an EoT is not required to design experiments to determine if it's a real physical phenomenon vs. a mathematical trick; people are trying to think up those experiments now (at least for hidden variable models of QM).

What's the "quantum measurement problem"? And why is it a problem? I get the wave function collapses when you measure bit. But which part of this do you want to resolve in a testable way?

It literally gives you google results (+ additional search providers, usually not in top results)... without the added spam. It's therefore superior to "peak google results".

What are you talking about LLM services? default search behavior does not use any LLMs (except any Google might use to reorder their top 10 results internally).
