Excellent !

I learned some things. I'll consider making posters of this ;-)


Great, congrats!

What's the equivalent in python?


A closer library is Infer.NET: https://dotnet.github.io/infer.

It includes a really mature compiler that generates very efficient message passing and variational inference, with support for online inference, which is the main focus on Rxinfer.

You can call Infer.NET from Python in a number of ways, despite it is not a CPython library.


> What's the equivalent in python?

You might start with Stan for which Python bindings are available if I recall correctly.

So what's the rationale behind this data?

They got so much better at advising startups?

Startups are being insulated for real world truth eg. Due to too much funding?

Data is corrupted?


Last or first nail in the coffin for Google?

Definitely ground for breakup IMHO.


I'd be off of Chrome in a heartbeat if it weren't for all the Google properties required by my work, which themselves cripple non-Chromium browsers. (Looking at you, Meet!)

Firefox, for all of Mozilla's faults, stands head-and-shoulders over Chrome in terms of good and respectful user experience.


I use Google meet just fine on Firefox at work. Even video filters work. The only thing I can imagine not being 100% is tab-only sharing


woah, filters work now! i am 100% firefox at home and 95% at work, i keep (kept, yay!) chrome for meet so i could blur. thanks for mentioning this!


It's been working for months if you spoof your user agent to chrome. Google just really taking their time allowing Firefox to use filters on Meets.


Generally isn't a user agent change enough?


you can use different browsers for Meet and for browsing. I use different browsers for basically everything, tech stuff, reddit and everything more salacious, banking, email


I use Fx as my daily browser, and for meetings I just open Meet in Chrome.


What's written is quite right, but is quite short ;-)

I was expecting a bit more "Then what" (the rest of the website is okayish).

One thing that also is important is: luck in timing, mass in market.

You can be as daring as you want, if you don't come at the right time for the market, and if the market is not sizable enough, then your effort will be fruitless.


No, it would mean for Firefox developers that it's illegal to have feature that can disable the EU member state certificates.

Such crypto backdooring failed in the past, so they're trying to go after the weakest link they can think of. In this case, software publishers.


Suppose they include those features anyway. Do Firefox developers in the EU get arrested? Does the EU block US websites distributing Firefox, and arrest anyone running a local mirror? Do programmers that compile and run their own, personal versions of Firefox, where they have personally removed untrustworthy CAs, get raided by the police?


They do not need to hijack this process, in a way as is said in article, or in comments, there are different methods already in use, successfully. So there is absolutely no need from anybody to be doing this in this way ( even if it works like they write in that article ). if they need it for state security then it does not need to be this OVERT, there are legal provisions to do this covertly IN US OR IN EU. They are even cooperating between jurisdictions. So UK is sending data from US citizens on uk servers to US, EU is sending data about US citizens on Eu servers to US, etc. And no GDPR does not cover this.


You obviously didn't have to deal with the misuse of security, "for the children" pretext for interception, and crypto scare attempts...

Yes, there are too much ill conceived attempts against security that in the end will hurt everyone. It's disappointing to see it coming from EU.


Which is great because being an awesome tree for bowmaking, nobody cares if you harvest a few straight stave: On the contrary people will say "Good, you're removing these" :-)

Plus they give excellent liquid yellow honey and you can make yummy perfumed donuts with their flowers.

But yeah, it's a pain to get rid of: even if cut, they will regrow nearly endlessly and their thorns are so pointy and durable that they routinely kill tires...


actime24 is possibly for Arrival City time, not aircraft time.

Fun research!
