Right, and unfortunately there doesn't seem to be a way to remove the permissions by app (only for all apps by turning off Handoff).

This post might give some answers [1]. FL is a machine-learning framework where models can be trained while keeping users' data on their device rather than sending it to a server.

How do you create different containers for different Gmail accounts, since the beginning of the url will be the same?

Ha, I didn't know about that one. I currently replace the Siri button with the do not disturb button, seems like I use it more often.

I knew about work in anomaly detection for state of health and state of charge in batteries, where you can somewhat model the physical effects (in a data driven manner). However, this description of the problem made me think that meta-learning might be suitable for the problem you’re describing. I’ve only seen it applied in computer vision though (and more recently in speech).

You can also lock the screen with control + command + Q. I always bump into the corners so I prefer a key combination.

When I'm having a hard time writing a document I usually do the following:

- Go back to basics: Review what an introduction, body, and conclusion should have (and what they shouldn't). This of course will depend on the kind of document, since the structure and content of a research paper, a proposal, or an essay will be different.

- Make an outline: Lay out the different ideas in sentences. At some point, you will have all you need and you will just need to connect the sentences to create paragraphs and then sections. This specifically helps me to write concisely, as my document is a flowing outline.

- Revisit: Finally, if I have the time I like taking a break and revisit (even if it is the next morning). This gives me the time to come back with fresh eyes and spot the parts that do not flow, need more detail, or are redundant.

I've noticed that if I struggle creating the outline, it's because I don't understand well yet what I am trying to write.

According to the site on Firefox Add-ons [1], it tells you which websites it is not showing, which I think would not be possible with your suggestion.

If you're willing to use zsh, there's an oh-my-zsh plugin to color the manpages, and you can adjust the colors as described here [1].

I've been using tldr [1] instead of man pages lately to get started with a command (or to remind myself how to use one). I've learned a lot just by reading the examples shown, and then read the man pages if I am missing something.

"Machine Learning: a Probabilistic Perspective" is more an encyclopedia of algorithms I would say, and it has lots of typos. I personally would not recommend it (except for the amount of algorithms that it covers, many of which are usually not found in other books).

Have you checked the Unihertz Atom phone?

For me it is its integration with tmux, and therefore being able to use the command line in a remote computer as if you were using it locally.

I also found fares/options that I didn't find on other sites.

My favorite part was how the results were listed by "agony", defined as a trade-off between price and length of the trip.

I agree that saying that he used calculus is a bit of a stretch. However, calculus is essential for all the gradient-based methods (or algorithms) in optimization. Moreover, if you want to analyze these algorithms, you have to know about convex analysis.

I think what the author _meant_ was that he used the intuition derived from calculus to tackle the problem he was framing as a mathematical optimization problem.

Also, you're right, he missed that the global maximum might not be unique in a non-concave function.

Some time ago I looked into this topic, and in my opinion the blog post misses two points: (1) Conversion to gray scale won't be good because the scale is not linear, which is important for printing, and (2) In Jet (and also, Turbo), high and low values of a measurement don't map well to colors. This is well described in the paper introducing cividis [1] (check out [2] for code).

The zipper of a down jacket I bought from them would get stuck. They repaired it twice for me, and the third time I took it for repair, they gave me a new one. This was 4 years after I bought it, no receipt needed. I would assume that the old jacket went into their recycling program.

The new jacket came with a sturdier zipper, so it also showed that they acknowledged the design flaw. I've been using this jacket for the last 5 years, and it is still holding well (and never again had a problem with the zipper).

There's certainly interest on this topic from the neuroscience community. At least for mice vocalizations, the first (unsolved) problem is to find a dictionary of possible vocalizations. This is a highly non-trivial problem, mainly because it depends on having a good similarity between (noisy) vocalizations, but also because we don't have a ground truth or gold standard.

The vocalizations vary between strains, and some of them are more less clean than others in their spectrogram representations. Different strains vocalize in different frequency ranges.

Assuming that you've found a dictionary, then you'd have to learn how to map dictionary elements to behavior. Behavior labeling is done by human annotators that spend hundreds (or more) hours looking at mice behavior and learning how to identify different these. This, by nature, is a noisy process as well (and possibly biased).

Given the difficulties, the problem itself is very useful for people in neuroscience because mice only vocalize in social situations, so they see it as a window into studying social behavior of, for example, mice with autistic behavior.

Edit: grammar

Reminded me of this [1] by Prof. Rob Tibshirani.

Replacing "Signal Processing" with "Regression" or "Least Squares" in the title would make more sense.

For me it's about using tmux with the same commands as the native iTerm2 commands to split panes and other tasks. That way I can work on a server in the same way I work on my machine.

How do you deal with different sections from google docs? As in, how do you format these into markdown or latex sections?

I've been working with psychologists and I've taught them the basics of a latex document, but I see how extracting the sections they have written from a google doc could be useful.

No matter the tool I use these days for plotting, I export it as a .tex file to use PGFPlots. matlab2tikz, matplotlib2tikz, and the savefig function in Plots.jl all do the job (with the pgfplots backend). This way you can tweak the figure in the final document, which I prefer. You can adjust all of the properties of the plot in Latex.

It's freemium. It's free for files up to 512MB.

Restarting Firefox is not necessary for this to happen. It happened to me while streaming video a few minutes ago. I use containers and I was logged out of my account, since containers were disabled.

It's easier if you come from the Chilean side. There are buses coming directly from Coyhaique to Puerto Río Tranquilo, and there are flights from Santiago or Puerto Montt to Coyhaique (Balmaceda airport).

However, it is true that in general it is not an easy area to travel through (and that's part of what makes it raw and unique). If you don't have a car, hitchhiking can be a lot more reliable and faster and the local buses between small towns.

I tried it out with Julia, for something reason it didn't recognize the syntax after installing the Julia extension...

Scientific computing, specially when you'd like to do visualizations of data that is big/can't leave the server. It's also possible in Jupyter notebooks using port forwarding, but I don't see it for development involving data, as much as for data exploration or presentations.

I used to feel the same way, until I read Sarno’s book. The way he explained what psychosomatic means completely changed my perspective over it.

I think the main problem with many doctors is the fact that the patient tends to feel blamed when told that their minds are causing the problem. This is not Sarno’s approach at all, since he states that chronic pain can be seen as a defense mechanism against deep negative emotions.

Sarno’s book concludes with the idea that negative emotions cannot be changed, and I disagree. I _think_ this is due to the psychoanalysis framework he employs for his analysis.

For me, it didn’t help either, but guided me to search how I could change my emotions. A mix of yoga and meditation plus techniques from “Code to Joy” by George Pratt helped me chronic headaches.

Yoga helps you become more aware of your mind-body. Meditations practiced in Kundalini yoga can help you become more deeply aware of your mind, or trigger certain helpful ideas (they usually have a very specific intention). What was left for me was to change negative beliefs that were created throughout my life, and that I accomplished with Code to Joy (and some of their previous work, which is more focused in emotions rather than beliefs).
