on second thought, this can be achieved with partition labels too. at least for partition types that support labels.

if the UUID can be set arbitrarily then that's just another label.
> However I think what's missing here is our benchmarks (a la Turing test) are about negation as opposed to affirmation.

I would question the value of the Turing test, and maybe think that's not a great example for AI.

There's always been this assumption that passing the Turing test would mean we had AI, but I think that was always predicated on the machine generating the outputs. With the GPT- models, it's not clear that this isn't a form of compression over an immense data set, and we're sending pre-existing _human_ responses back to the user. It implies to me that we can pass the Turing test with a large enough data set and no (or very little) intelligence.

All of this makes me believe "These are all definitely steps in the right direction" is questionable.

Okay, but now your country can't let anyone into it without 2+ weeks quarantine. Similarly you need to be ready to "lockdown" (or whatever policy your country used) at any given moment if there's a flare-up.

You are pushing this idea so hard and blasting this thread with copy/paste comments. It's obvious you're excited about it and that's great but there is a lot that isn't shown and that's where the real work is being done.

Nicely done! We've been using a very similar setup at the Dutch public library for the last many years - e.g. https://www.bibliotheek.nl/catalogus/titel.263072924.html/th... - complete with thickness based on number of pages (though only in three steps) - but it took a lot of tinkering to get the CSS down to something relatively clean. Great job making something like this accessible to everyone with a handy tool like this!

One trick we're using which you might care to copy over (and improve upon) is a linear gradient to fake the pages. I think for thin books, I prefer your white version, but for thick books, it feels pretty sterile.
Back in the day (I haven't run my own mail server for years and years) there was a company called Secondary MX.

That's all they did. They weren't a mail host or provider, there was no UI, nothing. All they did was allow you to specify them as, well, a secondary MX, so if you were offline they'd cache your inbound email until you were back. Simple. Efficient.
I don’t think the point about making more money in industry is particularly compelling. I feel like I would be mostly losing opportunity cost and would be pretty confident I could get at least as good a job, if not better, with the lost experience. Further, in what way is joining an early stage startup financially advantageous to being a founder? The only benefit is it being easier to walk away, but the upside is greatly reduced, and the worst case is not much better (perhaps a higher salary).

I also don’t really agree with the point that being an employee engineer can be just as ambitious as being a founder. You can do great things as an engineer but you won’t capture even close to all of its value, and for better or worse will likely not get as much recognition or influence for it either.

There is nothing wrong with not wanting to start a company, and maybe there are people who feel compelled to do it for the wrong reasons. It seems to really boil down to risk tolerance and whether you would actually be comfortable running a business

I had one of the qualcomm toqs (which used a small mirasol display).

It didn't look that much better (or distinguishable, for the matter) than one of those reflective LCDs (e.g. Pebble's). And reflective "memory" LCDs also have almost negligible -- though not zero -- power consumption. Except for maybe signage products most people don't care about this difference, and LCD is way cheaper and mainstream, so...

It's no surprise that many manufacturers just put an LCD and try to get away by calling it "ePaper". There is a lot of geek appeal here, but I'm not really sure if we really need any new technology for "mainstream".

Solar energy breakthrough creates electricity from invisible light
This, the difference between one-shot fine-tuning, vs fine tuning for GPT-2, is one of the major breakthroughs. Since GPT-3 is so hot in the past few days, people seem to forgot or not realize lots of the GPT-3 examples shown off today were possible with GPT-2, with the catch that you had to fine-tune your own GPT-2 model to fit your problem domain (game plots, poems, music, bots that chats like certain characters, etc). GPT-3 makes that fine tuning process unnecessary (although practically you probably can't/can't afford to fine-tune your GPT-3 model)
15 years ago I created a "pre-deep fakes" automated actor replacement visual effects production pipeline. My ambition was to create "Personalized Advertising" where ordinary people would appear in video advertising for desirable products like film trailers, and various other products and services that typically have a celebrity spokesperson - the basic idea was the celebrity spokesperson would be "with you" in the advert explaining how great the product was while you are depicted nodding and enjoying it.

The system worked, and still would work if I un-mothballed it. I even globally patented the system, with an ungodly expense doing so: https://patents.justia.com/patent/7460731

However, nobody believed what I was pitching 15 years ago was possible. After I'd demonstrate a scaled down implementation, I'd get interest and an investment pool would start to form. Then one of the investors would realize the tech could be used for porn, and then no matter how I explained the economics of failure such an application would cause, their stupid dicks would take over and I could not get them to realize "porn with anyone inserted" is a lawsuit engine and not a sell-able product.

While pursuing this, I became extremely jaded about what people think occurs in a film production, and the time and expense necessary to add visual effects to any media. The majority of angels and VC I pitched were flabbergasted at what current media and VFX productions are like, and their current level of expense and sophistication. My proposing a fully automated incarnation struck them as complete fantasy. Yet I had a working implementation. Slowly I'd convince them of the possibility... and then they'd get fixated on porn, ignoring the fact that there is no way to make money producing deep fake porn.

I eventually went bankrupt and left media production entirely. After creating my fully automated VFX pipeline, working in VFX without my automation tools drove me nuts. I work in facial recognition now.
Efficiency of heat pumps are roughly the same for heating and cooling (the only difference is which side you measure from -- the hot side gets the electrical power input counted in its power). The reason EER is so high is that they used absurd units for the heat flow (BTU/h = 0.3W) so you need to divide EER by 3.4 to get the actual efficiency in unit per unit.
The small sizes, extreme update times, and high prices make it very noncompetitive with LCD.

In the case of hydrochloroquine, Trump was saying "this is bigly magical" and every expert around was urging caution. With a (proper, tested) vaccine expert opinion would be a lot more friendly. People do consider the source; most people would not take medical advice from a hotel magnate (even people generally friendly to Trump were mostly cautious of the chloroquine and disinfectant imbibing stuff), against advice of actual doctors.

That said, mass availability of anything by November is probably optimistic.

(1) Kawasaki-disease is not long-term risk. It's a disorder that goes away.

(2) Given your only argument against my statement of there being no theoretical basis is what I addressed in (1), there's not much for me to address here. So I'll throw it back at you: What long-term pathology has been observed in SARS-1?

It may be that we are using "long-term" in different senses. I don't consider 3 months to be "long-term". AFAIK most people raising alarm about (unfounded) long-term damage are implying either lifelong or at least years+, right?

> In the same comment you say "most people are dramatically overestimating COVID-19 risk," and then cite an article which says,

>> "Coronavirus disease (COVID-19) presents arguably the greatest public health crisis in living memory."

I don't see how these statements are mutually incompatible. It's possible for COVID-19 to be the most serious pandemic in over a century - which it is - and for people to still be overestimating the risk.

There is a study that surveyed people for their estimated COVID-19 risk which supports my claim; people in the 20-29 age group estimated their risk of death if infected at 2%. Think about that. That's at minimum a 50x overestimate.

Humorously, the older someone was the less they estimated their risk in absolute terms; young people reported higher chance of death than older people.

And the reason for that is a something they've owned up to and apologized for.

3 months ago was ages given the recency of this catastrophe. And what we learned is that while masks don't help the wearer, they do help everyone around the wearer. Most of the medical profession wasn't operating from the current understanding we have about symptomless spread. As that became a dramatically more clear concern here, the scientific establishment quickly pivoted to pushing mask-wearking hard.

Isn't that exactly the kind of behavior you'd like to see?

Not sure where you get the 1000 lines from. That's ridiculous. `cloc` counts 16k lines of Kotlin for the Android app and 22k lines of Swift for the iOS app. That does not even include other aspects like the server side code or support documentation. Also it's not only the app that had to be build: It required all the notification infrastructure and coordination to deliver test result to the app. This is really one of the very few big government projects where I can't really complain about the costs. There was only one attempt at getting this done right and in time. They managed both.

Yes, modern e-ink capsules are not precise. In fact, they're not intended to be.

If you look at an e-ink display under a microscope you'll see that the "pixels" are more like "shards" of variously-shaped cells.

https://twitter.com/sqfmi/status/1178018736684580865

The "pixels" are made of the actual addressing grid that creates the currents that attract the pigment in the capsules.

This is part of what ends up giving the appearance of a higher-resolution display when rendering text, as you get some softer edges "for free." (And it's what makes the display look 'blurry' for some viewers.)

So, to your question, there's currently no attempt with the technology to precisely place the colors on the display. The capsules are just spread all over, and the grid does the work.

Don’t forget that it was initially thought that the virus could not be transmitted in asymptomatic cases. As time went on, it became clearer that this was happening, and we couldn’t rely on isolation alone.

Anyone could be infected but asymptomatic, you never really know if you’re contagious, and wearing a mask helps with that.

Once this became known, the right thing to do was to change the advice on face coverings.

Governments often abuse their power. They have absolutely no problem with that either. It's precisely because they do this that total population surveillance should be impossible rather than a standard government tool.

Abuse of surveillance powers could manifest in any number of ways. For example:

The only way to prevent abuse of power is to take the power away.

Sounds like low saturation tho? I wonder if they lost out to transflective LCD (at least in mind-share, since those haven't been shipped much either, though there are a handful of products using them), as keeping an LCD "set" is cheap enough to often not be an issue.

That is a really neat technique though, I hadn't read up on the details before.
Angular team member here. We're working on simplifying the Angular learning journey.

Generally, lots of the examples out there use very expressive APIs coming from RxJS. They could be very powerful, but at the same time may look convoluted to folks unfamiliar with the semantics.

I can recommend you checking out https://angular.io/start. We did a few iterations on the materials and tried to introduce the concepts from the framework gradually.

Something you could notice is that Angular encourages the best practices from the beginning, such as TypeScript, testability, etc. Based on my observations, this may make the learning journey a little steeper at first, but starting with (and learning) good practices is always worth it.
