If you don't trust the code of a PoW client, how could you trust it to not simply empty your wallet as soon as you import your private key?

How does the compare with writing GPU code in Julia?

I don't know the biology, so I can't answer specifically, but surely there are many cases of "useless" and even detrimental elements being stored in living bodies. Just look at heavy metal accumulation in animals for example.

Thanks for your suggestions. For my use case (tuning parameters of a financial market simulation), I'm essentially able to get good noise estimates for free by re-sampling a set of parameters multiple times.

So for example, rather than simulate an entire month in one shot, I'll simulate a day 30 times and therefore have a decent estimate of the noise for that result and be able to clearly distinguish the noise from the covariance of the Gaussian process.

The noise in these simulations can vary dramatically in parameter space (easily 10-100x), so it seems like it would be important to model.

For most of the problems for which I've tried to use Bayesian Optimization, I've had poor results because of unknown and heterogeneous noise in the underlying process that I'm trying to optimize.

I believe that modeling the noise directly using a 2nd Gaussian Process [1] could help, but I haven't gotten reliable results. I was hoping this topic would be addressed in the book, but don't see it.

Because they may be used to learn the identity of an otherwise pseudoanonymous github account if one uses the same keys with another account that is tied to his real identity.

I'm as libertarian as they come, but if you're doing $x of damage to the environment, it seems totally fair to charge $x in taxes to cover that damage. That wouldn't stop you from enjoying an activity -- it's just making the price more accurately reflect the true costs.

Pre-covid Japan had the right balance IMO. It was common to (voluntarily) wear a mask in public when you had a cold (or didn't feel like putting on make-up), but no one was going to force you to wear one.

I don't think it's a bad thing that most current legislation wouldn't pass as-is. If it's not popular enough to reach the required threshold on its own, then it shouldn't become law.

I was trying to find information about a recent scandal and was surprised that I couldn't find any discussion on reddit. Restricting the results to reddit.com made it clear what was going on. These search terms are not censored on Yandex.

It seems that they've recently removed some search terms from the blacklist. If I remember correctly, the terms I had searched originally were "qanon" and "pizzagate" , but those are no longer censored. "pedo" and "jailbait" still trigger the censor though.

Maybe they're vim or emacs users? I can't remember the last time I used one of those keys.

Google is also censoring a large list of search terms when used in combination with reddit. For example, you'll get zero results for "site:reddit.com underage".
