🎓 Ah, yes, the thrill of translating ENTIRE binaries without those pesky #heuristics. Because we all know guessing is for amateurs, and real professionals demand their code be as static and lifeless as a rock. 🪨 Let's all take a moment to thank the Simons Foundation for making such groundbreaking boredom possible. 🙏

🥰 Ever the romantic, I look under the covers at the calculus of matchmaking.

It should be no surprise to most that dating is not an economic endeavour (with some obvious exceptions). In this blog post and associated podcast, I articulate why.

«Сверхзвуковой математик» против «Вдумчивого логиста»: битва алгоритмов 3D-упаковки
Что будет, если столкнуть классический переборный алгоритм упаковки и «математику потока» на базе Numpy? Мы взяли реальный кейс на 398 предметов и проверили: можно ли за доли секунды найти решение, которое окажется дешевле и безопаснее ручного планирования. Внутри — разбор «Бизнес-Ассемблера», борьба с весовыми лимитами и ответ на вопрос: почему при КПД 61% по объему контейнер может считаться идеально упакованным.

Hype for the Future 126A: The Complexities of Travel Heuristics
Introduction While travel heuristics within the same street or within immediately adjacent streets can be unquestionable, numerous questions continue to remain regarding the preferred routes for vehicular traffic throughout any given region or place. Information Regarding vehicular traffic, travel heuristics include, but are not limited to, the traffic signals necessary in an effort to improve the safety and road conditions for such dangerous vehicles. While car dependency is already a […] -
Could it be that that #heuristics for that detection is actually detecting the fucking #MSEdge updater, Google Chrome updater, UI0Detect, and WerFault instead?
The #VirusTotal Sandboxes are still quite noisy, aren't they?

Hype for the Future 108G: Distances to the VOACMF
Disclaimer novaTopFlex is not affiliated with the Voices of America Country Music Festival in any way, shape, or form. This post is merely intended to be a reference/approximation for travel heuristics and related purposes. Introduction For 2026, the Voices of America Country Music Festival is officially slated to occur between August 6 and 9. Throughout the festival, the venue is at the northwestern corner of Butler-Warren and Tylersville Roads, well to the south of VOA Lake and within […]https://novatopflex.wordpress.com/2026/02/16/hype-for-the-future-108g-distances-to-the-voacmf/

Hype for the Future 95B: Ohio State Route 124
Introduction Located in the southern portion of the State of Ohio, Route 124 is notable for serving the east-west direction between near the Ohio River to the east and Route 134 in the southern portion of Clinton County to the west. Serving the southern portion of the State of Ohio, a number of villages are covered along the route, many of which are economically distressed. The impoverished areas covered by Route 124 are especially evident in Meigs and surrounding counties in the State of […]https://novatopflex.wordpress.com/2026/02/03/hype-for-the-future-95b-ohio-state-route-124/

Atoms and selves share an identity: They don't really exist. https://philosophics.blog/2026/01/17/the-useful-fiction-of-atoms-and-selves/?utm_source=masto&utm_medium=social
I've discussed selves at length, but how do they relate to atoms? Wrong answers only.

In a revolutionary #breakthrough that will certainly not influence your daily life, the geniuses of #academia have introduced #LeJEPA, promising a world free of heuristics! 🤖✨ But wait, don't get too excited—unless complex #mathematical #jargon and endless citations are your cup of tea. ☕📚 #Simons #Foundation, we salute your dedication to the arcane arts! 🏆

Heuristic (Ecogeographic rules 🌍)
A heuristic or heuristic technique is any approach to problem solving that employs a pragmatic method that is not fully optimized, perfected, or rationalized, but is nevertheless "good enough" as an approximation or attribute substitution. Where finding an optimal solution is impossible or impractical, heuristic methods can be used to s...

Maybe I'll go apply to #TikTok, and secure the american app and fix it. TikTok's current #algorithm is #insidious, I think designed to create #division and #radicalize people. Soon TikTok will tell me its #secrets, but I have to work on some #vulns system for a few weeks. Designing some brains for other important non-hobby smtask lol
My initial #scans for #TikTok are #worrying and I was concerned after my initial scans. My #AI systems were flagging everything. The #content never scored high like other #socialmedia platforms. The content is worrying not just from #radical left or right. There is something non-biased about how it tries to #radicalize. Like it is learning based off #heuristics, like time spent hovering over a #videotile. This triggers an #alert, where you didn't interact but it detected the most likely #video. Then provided more #content. It also gives a heavy weight to #interactions. Which then changes the #algorithm and how it provides #content. None of this is really bad, it is trying to be helpfulful. What I find concerning is the videos it provides. Like a stream of #bothsides #content. Trying to figure you out and provide more content. There isn't even #educational poop on TikTok. So most of the content is #madness Lol

🧑💻 Ah, the thrilling world of #SQL #heuristics, where ORs are the villains and ANDs save the day! 🚀 Apparently, turning "ORs" into "ANDs" is the secret sauce to slashing query time from a snail-paced 100ms to a lightning-fast 1ms. Who knew the key to #performance was just a matter of playing word games? 🎉

Noise and Bias: The Cognitive Roots of Economic Errors https://d.repec.org/n?u=RePEc:lan:wpaper:423483206&r=&r=exp
"… formalizes the idea that decision makers might follow a mixture of rules of behavior combining cognitively imprecise value maximization and computationally simpler shortcuts.
… findings suggest that neither cognitive imprecision nor multiplicity of behavioral rules suffice to explain received patterns in economic decision making.… jointly modeling (cognitive) noise in value maximization and #biases arising from simpler, cognitive shortcuts delivers a unified framework which can parsimoniously explain deviations from normative prescriptions across domains."

@ApostateEnglishman
Touché! I meant only to speak to Snowden's quote, for a violent extinction of Homo Neanderthalis probably would be biological racism, but I think there are any number of other things that their extinction could have been, like disease-burden or out-breeding.You're right of course, the Peri-Mediterraneans were pretty cool about most things. I think they might have thought slightly ill of left-handed people.
If Snowden is making sweeping statements about "the ancients" though, I think a careful tread is advisable, if I'm right to suspect that the "ancient" Sumerians would think someone with pale skin to be sickly and frail, and the "ancient" Chinese would associate darker skin tones to be associated with manual labour.
To be explicit: (1). this has no bearing on your long held and doubtless correct view, and (2). I am *wildly* outside my wheel-house here; and I'm only really saying that such sweeping terms of generalisation make one's quotes less useful. I can't imagine Snowden cares one jot about my criticism, though! 😅

About 50 judges working in #Greece completed a novel Judicial Heuristics Assessment Questionnaire (J-HAQ), a 5-item reflection test, etc.
Judges' reported use of anchoring #heuristics correlated with their reflection test scores.

Mastodon needs some sort of spammer-detection heuristics built in. Today I have suspended several users that had one "hello world" toot and then a repetition of exactly the same string replied to several people. It would be trivial to write a rule for this so we never see it again.
The current moderator toolset feels like email spam filtering 25 years ago.
