How are you measuring the hours exactly? Just time when a passenger is in the car? Time on the way to pick up the passenger until you drop them off? All the time logged in and looking for a rides?

How do you factor in the car related expenses? And what about depreciation and other expenses beyond the direct out of pocket costs?

It is certainly possible to spend more than 8 hours trying to get rides, and end up with less than 8 hours worth of minimum wage pay after subtracting vehicle costs.
I’m commenting on pfortuny’s (correct) interpretation “those events are only separated be 1.1std deviations, which is little” of the original post by Gelman (the difference between a significant result and a non-significant result may not be significant = a city which is far from Jacksonville and a city which is not far from Jacksonville may not be far from each other).

Maybe it's time to reconsider phone numbers. Think about it. There's already a divide between phones on one side, and tablets/laptops/pcs etc on the other. You can only use whatsapp on a phone (or a laptop connected to a phone). You need a special phone contract to make phone calls. You can make voice calls via voip/whatsapp/whatever but you have to understand what network the person is on. Then there's this security nonsense, with porting numbers and permission etc. If there was a voip standard where you just placed a voice call with someone else from any device, for free, with a known way of dealing with missed calls, where spam wasn't an issue (whitelist only, or at the very least some authenticated way of knowing who was calling you so you could block someone's actual number not the one they spoofed/could refuse to entertain number-withheld etc), you'd do away with loads of this nonsense in one go. And it's not like it would require any new infrastructure at all; it would be purely a protocol/software thing.

But I found this article by doing a google search for "link malaria parasite hepatitis" : https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3097216/

Hepatitis is a major cause of jaundice (jaundice is a symptom after all, of the underlying disease).

So it could be that even if you are infected, the symptoms are less pronounced?

The article doesn't mention that since 2010 two more measurements on atomic hydrogen that determine the proton size with similar accuracy have been published.

Almost, but not quite. The rms radius is defined via the slope of the proton electric form factor G_E. Via a Fourier transform you can connect the form factor to the distribution of charge in some space-like coordinate. That works out to be (very close) to the rest frame space for heavier atoms, because relativistic effects are small. For the proton, this is not true -- the Fourier transform gives a spacial distribution in the so called Brick-wall or Breit-frame, not in the rest frame of the proton. (There are additional complications about waveforms not being the same before and after).

I'm not at a FAANG, but in CA and deal with this issue. This seems due to California labor law. If you're doing work in which you're supervised regularly (like every day -- there are other technicalities too), then you're considered an hourly employee. "Overtime Eligible" is the jargon term.

On the upside, as an hourly worker, you would get overtime if you need to work > 40 hours in a week, and typically get extra pay for work-related travel because it entails working outside regular hours.

As you likely know, salaried employees can be called upon to work more than 40-hour weeks for no pay increase, and don't get extra pay for flying (say) on Sunday night to a Monday-morning work-related meeting.

IIRC, increased scrutiny of this distinction came about because people who had "salaried" positions (at relatively low pay, with limited scope of responsibility) were being asked to put in extra hours, and there was a lawsuit.

At my organization, BS-level new grads will be on-boarded as Overtime Eligible (i.e., hourly). Within 1-2 years they will in almost all cases be promoted to the next career level, which is salaried (also known as "Exempt"). PhD-level new grads are on-boarded as salaried.

I don't think MWI claims, exactly, that an entire universe 'appears instantaneously'.

Couldn't MWI represented with a probability cloud? Maybe the many-worlds exists as a fixed-volume probability on all states in the universe.

From this perspective, MWI would be similar to a multi-universal annealing system, where different quantum outcomes result in fractures within the probability cloud (as opposed to an expansion of the tree-graph).

This is a stupid argument, comparable to "if humans evolved from apes why are there still apes?"

An analogous question: when three objects are orbiting each other in space, where is the computation being performed that provides the solution to the three-body problem that represents their motions?

Well, obviously, the computation in the latter case is being "performed" by the three bodies themselves, and the Shor computation is being performed inside a quantum computer that exists in our universe. It's just that the stuff that is performing the computation isn't atoms, it's entangled qbits. There's no need to bring entire parallel universes into it.
>> This is a great summary of why I think current deep-learning based methods will never lead to 'intelligence' that is good enough to e.g. navigate the real world like humans do. They are all based on learning to recognize patterns to infer which things look the same as whatever was in their training set, but they have no semantic capabilities beyond simple classification.

I'm not a neurologist or cutting edge ML researcher by any measure, but this is my viewpoint as well. The astounding amount of information and internal models, and the astounding complexity of these models in terms of connections and feedback loops (and their plasticity) implies to me that our current pedestrian attempts at AI are nowhere near what is required for GAI, let alone human level GAI.

It seems to me like a lot of hubris to suggest (as I've seen people do) that in just a couple of years we could get there. Currently we have not even a clue how consciousness arises. We have evidence that it is physically possible, but that's it.

The leading enterprise in the area, Google/Youtube routinely fail to identify objects and sounds in videos.

My prediction is that what we have currently is a local optimum that expands our capabilities a lot, compared to what we had before, but in terms of genuine insight into human level AI, it will prove to be a dead end.

I'd love to be proven wrong though.
For software engineers? None at all right now. Theoretically, we could get to a point where working on certain safety-critical systems (think self-driving cars, regular vehicle firmware, medical equipment, etc) required that a software PE sign off on all of the work, in the same way that a civil PE has to sign off on a bridge design before it's built.

The NSPE used to have a software engineering PE, but my understanding is that they dropped it for lack of interest. Until we see some legislation somewhere that mandates the kind of sign-offs mentioned above, I don't think we're going to see PE's in the software world.
Yeah, but we've heard ad-nauseam about the Gell-Mann effect.

I wish there were an equally clever idiom I could trot out when people criticise professions they probably know noting about.

Journalism is an incredibly difficult field to work in, and journalism as a profession is just barely still a thing due to loss of advertising revenue to online platforms.

Think about it, we've traded a profession that has historically been one of the few to tell truth to power for free cloud software.

And we paid for our cloud software and for our and social media¹ skinner boxes, by voluntarily giving our own surveillance data to private non-acountable entities² which probably collude with the government, and which lose our data to organised crime a few times a year³.

To me that doesn't sound so clever.

So that's purely for a chemical rocket, right?

Is there any combination of tricks that can realistically push the envelope there? For example can we use a space elevator to start higher/faster (or, I don't know, balloons? a catapult or railgun or something?), laser power delivery from the ground, so we don't have to carry all the fuel, and an orbiting way-station for refueling, etc.?

Well, the problem in this case isn't really in the scientific or peer review process itself, it's in using citation count as a metric for paper quality or researcher expertise.

I've had people play this game on several of my papers under review. Reviews will say something like "high quality submission but the authors should consider including work X for completeness" etc where it's obvious that work X was written by the reviewer. As an author, I just found some place to plausibly cite the work and moved on. The quality or validity of my manuscript was not impacted in any way. In my admittedly limited experience, reviewers will rarely green light obviously inferior work just to get an additional citation as it impacts their reputation and it's an inefficient way to stat pad (self-citation or trading citations with your collaborators is by far the most efficient way to pump citation count, especially in the context of review papers). Additionally, obviously inferior works don't even make it to the peer review process; they are rejected by the journal editors in a first pass screen.

There are more insidious games people play that DO impact publication quality, such as requesting friendly reviewers (this mechanism is normally legitimately used to help editors route manuscripts for review to domain experts), submitting work to journals where the PI is an editor / has relationships with editors, attaching well known PIs to manuscripts to add the appearance of legitimacy even though they did no work and were not involved at all, etc. These are problems that won't go away because there are far too many researchers and not enough money / positions to go around, so people are heavily incentivized to play games.
