Good news and bad news for users if #logseq:
They're working on a DB version in parallel that will provide better scalability, performance and realtime #collaboration (#RTC). They'll charge for RTC.…

Found this really cool video where the original programmer for the port of pacman for the atari 2600 talks about a homebrew version that tries to more accurately recreate the game

O.o
okay, wild.
Theodor Herzl talked about the "Jewish question" in Der Judenstaat (1895)
which I guess was... different from the Nazi's version of "Jewish question" which was "final solution"... yyeeeeesh 1930's
then there's November 30th 1947 - May 14th, which Israel kinda wants you to gloss over as of 2011... ("Referring to the Israeli Independence Day or the founding day of the country as a day of mourning")
and yeah those massacres and depopulation continued after independence was declared...
by 11th of December 1948, Israel controlled 78% of former Palestine (55% intended originally for Israel, and 23% that wasn't theirs to take)
but, you know, Israeli sovereignty mythos tells that Palestinians "willingly left their homes" (which reminds me of teachers in the south saying the trail of tears was somehow voluntary sunshine)
what's cool is that Zochrot doesn't want the Nakba to be forgotten. They even had an app that showed you the ethnic cleansing and forced expulsions of Palestinian villages.

An Empirical Study of Challenges in Machine Learning Asset Management
In machine learning (ML), efficient asset management, including ML models, datasets, algorithms, and tools, is vital for resource optimization, consistent performance, and a streamlined development lifecycle. This enables quicker iterations, adaptability, reduced development-to-deployment time, and reliable outputs. Despite existing research, a significant knowledge gap remains in operational challenges like model versioning, data traceability, and collaboration, which are crucial for the succe…

Inference via robust optimal transportation: theory and methods
Optimal transportation theory and the related $p$-Wasserstein distance ($W_p$, $p\geq 1$) are widely-applied in statistics and machine learning. In spite of their popularity, inference based on these tools has some issues. For instance, it is sensitive to outliers and it may not be even defined when the underlying model has infinite moments. To cope with these problems, first we consider a robust version of the primal transportation problem and show that it defines the {robust Wasserstein dista…
