I think you might be right, and interesting, I did not know it had been retracted. Is the retraction trying to retract some claim that people who lack a consistent model are incapable of programming, or something more? (As my original read of the paper was more that the lack of a consistent model was the cause behind poor performance, but not an unsolvable problem, and more of a great hint as to how we could or should approach teaching CS. However, while TA'ing, I did occasionally notice such a behavior, and tried to point it out to the student, and that in and of itself turns out to be harder and trickier than one thinks to communicate, like trying to describe the color blue to someone who hasn't seen it. And, of course, TA'ing is hemmed in by the real-world constraints of too many students, too little time.

> It's just that because these courses are self-selected, the second hump has a small number of people.

By second hump, you mean the weaker group (the "inconsistent" group, from the papaer)? At my college, the early CS classes — which was where I spent most of my time as a TA — were also taken by some students of non-CS majors, as some majors required two semesters of CS. (These were primarily major whereby one might need to say, write a computer model to help validate/invalidate something more related to one's field.) So, they weren't all their completely voluntarily, I suppose?

But we definitely had some self-selected students, those who had clearly been self-teaching themselves computers and programming from early in their teenage years. However, our college also permitted one to voluntarily skip one or both of the first two semesters, if one felt one was strong enough to do so. (There was a grace period at the start of the semester whereby you could still transition between the classes, if you found you had bit off more than you could chew.) So, those clearly strong students who had already been independently studying in the field prior to university could skip over some of the courses.
Pattern recognition and matching isn’t the same thing as reasoning. Zero shot demonstrates reasoning as much as solving the quadratic equation for a new set of variables does; it’s simply the ability to create new decision boundaries leveraging the same set of classifying power and methodology. True agi isn’t bound to a medium — no one would say Helen Keller wasn’t intelligent for example.

I look forward to this ping :)
They were Romans... but that doesn’t make them Westerners. It’s true that the notion of Occidental culture is not purely geographical (see Al-Andalus, which had nevertheless some influence in Spanish culture). Should we consider “occidental” the Bulgarian or Roman Empires from one thousand years ago? You may want to do so, but then you may be surprised that they are “somehow” not usually considered as such.
I live in a large city in a major western country (Brazil), and I don't know anybody who drinks straight tap water without filtering. Every house or workplace has one or more water filters, normally connected to the plumbing (that is, there's a separate filtered tap for you to drink from), though there are also standalone filters (which are filled manually). Water for cooking is usually boiled (as a normal part of the cooking). We certainly learn in school that, to prevent diseases, water must be filtered or boiled (or bottled mineral water).

I'm legitimately surprised this product hasn't ended up with interchangeable battery packs. Super charging is "fast" compared to regular electrical charging, but when time is money, it seems like that would be "the" limit that costs sales.

Keep in mind a lot of trucks don't sit idle while cargo is unloaded by hand, in many locations they'll just de-couple, pick up outgoing, and be back out of the gate within 10~15 minutes. With recharge downtime of e.g. 20 minutes, they've managed to place themselves into an even smaller niche than they would be already.

By the way, Semis are a massive source of pollution and have proportionately terrible Mpg while idle or towing light loads. So this is an area ripe for improvement, and this is an asperational product. I appreciate a big name trying if for no other reason than it might spur innovation from traditional trucking companies.

Just because I worry that it isn't viable in the market, doesn't mean I'm not a fan.

Quite a bit farther - I think 240gal tanks, 5mpg is fairly common. Costwise the tractor itself seems comparable, I wonder if the plan is to use the Superchargers, or to build charging capacity at truckstops (or both).

Wrong. Transmitting modified GPL works requires more than just distributing the source:

a) The work must carry prominent notices stating that you modified it, and giving a relevant date.

b) The work must carry prominent notices stating that it is released under this License and any conditions added under section 7. This requirement modifies the requirement in section 4 to “keep intact all notices”.

c) You must license the entire work, as a whole, under this License to anyone who comes into possession of a copy. This License will therefore apply, along with any applicable section 7 additional terms, to the whole of the work, and all its parts, regardless of how they are packaged. This License gives no permission to license the work in any other way, but it does not invalidate such permission if you have separately received it.

d) If the work has interactive user interfaces, each must display Appropriate Legal Notices; however, if the Program has interactive interfaces that do not display Appropriate Legal Notices, your work need not make them do so.

The issue is that unless a large enough percentage of users do so, Google still controls the market, and runs the table on the other side. Google is an intermediary in the chain between other businesses which run ads and seek search placement, and consumers which see ads and look at searches.

As long as Google holds 90% of the market, businesses have to advertise with Google, and websites have to cater to Google's search ranking demands.

And users choosing to switch never happens in large enough quantities to change this: Almost everyone uses the default search provider. Which is why Google operates Chrome, Android, and pays for Firefox and Safari search placement. And even if half those platforms weren't first party (and monopolies in their own right), they can't get outbid easily on the other ones because, due to the existing monopoly, they have more money to bid than everyone else.

Fundamentally, I think the bare minimum to handle Google is breaking Android and Chrome away from Google and prohibiting the company from operating their own browsers and operating systems. (It might also be prudent to set limits on their ability to bid for default search placement, as a way to encourage browsers to shift to a browser choice model, which would be hard to compel Firefox and Safari, in particular, to do within the confines of a suit against Google.)

Some people view testing as a goal in and of itself rather than serving to make the product better. I think a lot of people start off there career in the similar place to you testing is needed because testing is good and slowly move towards a more realistic or big picture view of the role of testing.

It would be surprising to see such huge difference in cell temperature in sun vs fog when the ambient temperature itself is about only about 60F, which is typical, or maybe even high for 7-9AM on the type of days I'm describing.

Even if the cells were 80F on the sunny mornings vs 60F on the foggy ones (or a difference of roughly 10 Kelvin) that would result in about .5% to 1% drop [1] in efficiency, so I should see only slightly lower output on sunny vs foggy mornings.

Instead what I see is that initial production on foggy days is several times higher than on sunny days. The only explanation I have for this is some kind of local effect where the fog reflects light that would have otherwise gone straight west in the morning down to my solar panels.

> One could retort to the original title saying all matter is, in fact, "quantum".

Quantum matter has a specific meaning in condensed matter physics. It's anything where you can't approximate the system's behavior with classical physics at a macroscopic level. IE, the optical properties of metals are classical, but the electrical properties of topological insulators are not.

It is a bit like saying that all ecologists are chemists. Animals are, in fact, big sacks of chemicals, but that's not really the point.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GTK#History

> GTK was originally designed and used in the GNU Image Manipulation Program (GIMP) as a replacement of the Motif toolkit; at some point Peter Mattis became disenchanted with Motif and began to write his own GUI toolkit named the GIMP toolkit and had successfully replaced Motif by the 0.60 release of GIMP.[36] Finally GTK was re-written to be object-oriented and was renamed GTK+.[37] This was first used in the 0.99 release of GIMP. GTK was subsequently adopted for maintenance by the GNOME Foundation, which uses it in the GNOME desktop environment.

You could do that, but if you start creating endpoints for transactions rather than method -> resource endpoints, then you’re not really making a REST interface anymore. But even ignoring REST purity, I’d argue that GraphQL is better suited to that design pattern in general.

Sure, that all sucks, but, at least address handling is actually hard. Dealing with credit card numbers, even if you want to go beyond the basic Visa / MasterCard / Discover / American Express, isn't that hard. Neither is sanely dealing with SSNs (except that most uses of SSNs are insane by default, but that's just a matter of using it as an ID number when it shouldn't be).

You need to do voice banking. It is imperative that you do so, so that your wife keeps her identity no matter what.

What you need to do is spend the entire next 3 weeks doing voice banking. This will give your wife a text-to-speech voice (SAPI 5 voice, or others, for example). You record phrases that the voice banking service wants you to speak, with a high quality headset (best if wired) in a quiet setting.

The more sentences (samples) you have, the better the voice will be, obviously. But, there are services out there that will update the recordings, as the technology gets better, and that is the way to go, in terms of choosing the "best service".

The voice banking services that people typically use are here: https://www.mndassociation.org/professionals/management-of-m...

I would say that Acapela my-own-voice is currently the best technology. Obviously there are open source technologies, but you do not have the luxury of time to figure all of that out. However, you should do your own voice banking for later post-processing on your own with open source stuff.

There is also a free version of voice banking available, but I would only recommend it as a secondary tool: https://www.modeltalker.org/

This app (iOS and Android) for example, allows you to use your personal voice banked text-to-speech voice, to talk: https://therapy-box.co.uk/predictable

Yeah that's up there with the "unlimited" vacation scam.

On a slight tangent, seeing all the companies come out of the woodwork to praise WFH policies during COVID was truly astounding. I suspected 100% of these companies would go right back to working in an office as soon as COVID left the news. And that seems to be playing out right now. I've been working remote for many years now, so I know these people are totally full of shit. It's the worst sort of virtue signaling and pandering imaginable. Then they all switched to Black Lives Matter. These people sold their soul to the devil.
I'm sorry, but this is absolutely not true. You don't do IA or the discussion any favors by being inaccurate.

I live in San Francisco, whose library participates in a digital ebook lending program through Libby. They have a certain number of copies of each ebook available, and allow each copy to be checked out by one person at a time. As a consequence, i've had to wait 7 or 8 weeks for popular books to become available, something which works the same way as physical books at the library. The library buys or is given a copy of a book (whether physical or digital) and then can loan out that copy of the book.

Notably, this is how IA's lending program worked BEFORE the pandemic. They just decided unilaterally to change it to loan out unlimited copies of books. It is this change that the lawsuit is about.

Product Management – Start Here (By Marty Cagan)
I'm not going to pretend to be an expert in electric vehicles, or trucking, but it seems that with a 500 mile range, you're getting pretty much to the limit of what a trucker is legally allowed to drive in the United States each day. So maybe recharge time isn't that big a deal, since the drivers aren't supposed to be on the road anyway.

I generally agree, but there's one thing that bothers me about the practice:

Before disabling the test, does anyone even consider the possibility that maybe it's not the test that's flaky, but that the software under test is itself buggy in a non-deterministic way?

I don't have a good answer for how to deal with this. It would be an enormous amount of effort to go through every flaky result and reason about whether the problem is with the test or the code under test, especially in larger codebases. Maybe the heuristic of assuming that it's the test's fault is good enough, and this is what I've done in every team I've worked in.

But it does bother me.
I don't think so since the driver still needs to be alert.
Did I miss something: "Nordic PSIRT proposes to purchase the full report for a rock-bottom price."

I read that as the researcher trying to get money out of Nordic--especially with a comment like "rock-bottom price". Did I get that wrong?

That "rock-bottom price" is an unprofessional sideswipe that Nordic probably can't counter without breaking confidentiality agreements.

And, what's a "rock-bottom" price? A hundred dollars? A thousand dollars? Ten thousand dollars?

What price should Nordic pay for a report on a power glitch exploit--something that pretty much affects every microcontroller on the planet?

And what did the researchers disclose to Nordic in order to agree on a price? Nordic certainly isn't going to pay much if you just say "I found an exploit" and don't tell them much else.

That "rock-bottom price" comment adds a whole bunch of character questions to my assessment of the author as "security researcher" that simply wouldn't be in scope if they had left it at "Nordic Semiconductor and LimitedResults did not agree on a responsible disclosure. That’s life."

This "somebody somewhere" comparison is callous and dismissive. These are billions of people that live under horrid conditions of tyranny and/or abject poverty.

Hundreds of millions of people lived through the Arab Spring - not "somebody somewhere". Many of them watched their country descend in unprecedented violence that cannot be compared to tear gas and pepper spray.

To them, those are indeed first world problems.

Protesters in Syria were slaughtered with machine gun and anti-aircraft fire. Protesters in Iraq were fired on with machine guns. Protesters in Egypt were killed by snipers from the roof tops, exploded in bombs, and then jailed and quietly executed. Protesters in Libya were massacred by the army - and then by terrorists. Protesters in Iran were shot, arrested, and disappear. AND THEN three of those countries fell into civil war.

As bad as things may seem in the US, they don't even compare to what happens in other countries. How many innocent black Americans were killed by police in any given year? 10? out of 300 million people? ....oh, and the police involved have been arrested and charged?

Please forgive the civilians in Syria who were bombed with nerve gas for not sympathizing - their civil war is still going on - almost 10 years now.
