Contrary to the video Cheonggyecheon is not Braess Praradox.

For instance "To address the consequent traffic problem, the Cheonggyecheon Restoration Project Headquarters established traffic flow measures "

"The project contributed to a 15.1% increase in bus ridership and a 3.3% increase in subway ridership"

It was a billion restoration project.

It is a good example how any superficial improvement to traffic where a road is removed is called Braess' Paradox.

Or anytime a road is added or upgraded and it gets worse for anyone, everyone says Braess' Paradox.
I've thought a lot about this as well. In fact, I made a random reactor concept generator [1] that is a Python script making combinations. There are 1.3 million different options possible and that is still not all of them.

I read an article not long ago that claimed the reason post-industrialized human teeth are all sort of messed up and don't fit in their small jaws is people don't chew on things early in life anymore.

The claim was that while genetics determine the ultimate form a jaw will take, its complete growth requires stimulation from resistance and usage during the formative years.

So if you have kids, I guess feed them ribs to gnaw on instead of spoon-delivered goop and give them chew toys instead of pacifiers?

Flipper Zero: Tamagochi for Hackers
This is the usual with these 'compassionate' government ideas. If you can't compete with a company, lobby the government to force your competition out of business, while calling it a kindness to the public.
There's no need for a list. To de-Apple, in the context of those 3 examples, is to not buy or use Apple hardware. That's it.

Apple is saintly by comparison.
Language models can help the disabled communicate better and faster (fine-tune on their online output, then the BCI can offer better continuations, so the patient does not have to type as much).

Fine-tune on educational materials, and a language model could be a 24/7 assistant to students.

Fine-tune on psychology or medicine data, and a language model could tell you of all medicine interactions, or act as a better ELIZA, and "socialize with" - and "support" people with depression or trauma.

Fine-tune on etiquette and social norms, and autistic people could ask questions without being ashamed.

These are some positive use cases. There are also neutral use cases (seeding a new social platform with autogenerated comments), and negative use cases (SEO spam, fake reviews, scaling up disinformation campaigns).

Edit: not complaining, but no idea why this was downvoted. Would be helpful to state why, so I don't make this mistake in the future (I am optimizing for useful replies).
A huge part of the reason is that the providers had to pay well over 50 billion € for the frequency licensing.

Back in the early 2000s finance minister Eichel wanted to achieve the "schwarze null" (positive budget), and in attempting so, this idiot fucked up digitalisation in Germany for decades, as the providers had to take out huge loans and had to re-pay them instead of being able to invest in building out the networks or offer affordable services!

The problem is compounded by idiot NIMBYs believing that radiation is harmful and causes cancer - in many of the total blackout regions it is local citizen groups that vocally protest against phone providers putting up masts for years now (and there are no laws that give providers eminent domain rights or other enforcement tools), and the recent 5g conspiracy theories have made the situation even worse. Ironically the same people then complain why young people leave and no one new moves there.

For the historical part, Heise has a decent chronology (that unfortunately lacks any mention of Eichel or political dumbness): https://www.heise.de/newsticker/meldung/15-Jahre-UMTS-Auktio...
Exactly. If I were to ask my F&F for money they would ask me if I'm in trouble, what's wrong, and if I can pay this month's rent. All in who you know whether your business launches or not.
Yeah I'm with you there, I find western companies making exceptions for China pretty unethical and upsetting: https://zalberico.com/essay/2020/06/13/zoom-in-china.html

I think it's wrong and something they shouldn't do.
You could publish this in a blog (summarized of course)
At least other scientists/researches would be warned.

And it looks like California is planning on keeping an ever larger portion of that oh so sweet founder IPO dough!...
I mean, if anything you are exactly making my point. RideAustin was a local nonprofit, run on essentially a shoestring budget, that failed during a surge that was probably many times the load they normally get in any single night, and your response is "How many qualified customers never even opened the app again after being burned by that?"

I'm not disagreeing with you, I'm just saying why would some small startup that really could only address a single, relatively small market (CA is big but pales in comparison to the world at large) be able to attract the capital necessary to eventually compete against Uber and Lyft? The service levels you've come to expect from Uber and Lyft don't come cheap, and they've already had years to scale their operations.

It's a weird dichotomy I sometimes see on HN: "Why aren't there more competitors in this space?" and "Why doesn't this other startup provide the same levels of service and low low prices as this other enterprise that got billions in VC funding?"
If there are basically no skulls to be found with misaligned teeth and jaws, then what the article says is the mainstream explanation of this - genetics - has to be wrong, because genetics in humans doesn't do anything in 200 years. Especially not going from "~100% good outcomes" to "the majority of individuals have malformed teeth". Literally any other explanation is more plausible. Changes in food seems very plausible. Changes in upbringing as well.
Oh and yeah, it is written in OCaml, so you do need to have the OCaml compiler installed. I recommend doing it via `opam`, but your Linux distribution's package manager will suffice (simply `ocaml` on Arch Linux, for example). With regarding to `zpkg`: if you run into any issues, bugs, or you miss a feature, contact the author or me. You will not be able to reply to this message after some days and I do not have contact details here, so you will have to contact the author then. :D
I will still take more than two hours to figure out if this game is playable or not, especially since everything is so random/buggy. And the framerate when loading scenery (looking in a new direction) currrently seems to depend on the the time of the day, because the geometry servers are overloaded or somthing.

After 6 hours of game play (sort of - half of that been spent looking at loading screens and trying out different settings) I'm still not sure. It's oh so promising but also so insanely buggy and random.
Good strategy. It's easy to sit in a high chair and look down on college students while working from home. In reality the students that stringently follow their University's health and safety strategy this year will be in a mentally distressing situation. Curfew - dorm room isolation - omniscient professors (attendance and participation). The whole country watching you with shameful eyes. Imagine being a young adult who has no real place in the world yet - learning from everyone in your life that you should work hard so you can go to college and have a shot at carving one out for yourself - and the moment you arrive our culture flips the script and calls you a murderer for going.
Is it? Which company has more growth ahead of it? Wal-Mart is slowly digesting in the Amazon Saarlac pit like all retail.

Stocks are valued by growth unless they pay a lot of dividends, and dividends are rare today.
> So, other than “GPT-3 isn’t an AGI” [1], I’m not sure what to take away from this article

This is the takeaway:

"[GPT-3 don’t learn about the world—they learn about text and how people use words in relation to other words. What it does is something like a massive act of cutting and pasting, stitching variations on text that it has seen, rather than digging deeply for the concepts that underlie those texts.

Its performance is unreliable, causal understanding is shaky, and incoherence is a constant companion. GPT-2 had problems with biological, physical, psychological, and social reasoning, and a general tendency toward incoherence and non sequiturs. GPT-3 does, too.

All GPT-3 really has is a tunnel-vision understanding of how words relate to one another; it does not, from all those words, ever infer anything about the blooming, buzzing world."
ya really the only real cost was my time. It runs on their existing CRM platform so no additional infrastructure overhead. It's just a small react app which displays a PDF contract, gathers TOS acceptance and collects CC via a Braintree drop-in. They were sending contracts via Docusign (10's of thousands @ $11 per envelope!), then would still have to separately gather payment information and update the CRM to process the sale.

I spoke with there legal team and turns out they didn't really need a legally binding signature. New system does everything they actually needed, without any real reoccurring costs.
mailbox.org does not require a phone number. It also includes its own calendar sync and online office suite(although I've never really tried the office functionality myself).

I've been using it for a few years now and I can't complain.
Yes. That title is worded like the problem is dropshipping, or making money from goods you don't handle, rather then the hustling/fraud.

I put "poisons the well" in quotes to indicate it's a stock phrase: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Poisoning_the_well

I like protonmail myself, take a look at that.
Yikes. All this because they refuse to trim the fat at the C-level. A company can't be profitable by only employing overhead. They'll all be forced to take the ultimate pay cut when Mozilla closes up shop.
Loitering missiles are excellent at destroying targets of opportunity; a radar site that is only active temporarily, a convoy of armor moving from its lager, etc etc etc.
The top and bottom have almost identical circuitry, even though the layouts look entirely different. The layout of the ALU is highly optimized; since everything is repeated 16 times, squeezing out a bit of space makes a big difference.

I assume the layouts are different due to the surroundings: The top stages have two bus wires next to them, while the bottom stage just has one bus wire, so there is a bit more room. Some of the horizontal metal wiring is different (like the wiring in the gap you saw), and power and ground may be offset slightly. The top stage needs to fit with the register interface circuitry just above it. My suspicion is that these relatively small changes resulted in the layouts being visibly fairly different. Maybe I'll do a gate-by-gate comparison at some point to check.
Not sure why society should care (beyond preventing people been radicalised into becoming a danger I guess).

There are lots of pressures on people to conform in one way or another to goals and ideals that are largely unachievable - none of them are an excuse for driving cars into crowds.

From the limited interactions I've seen online most incels don't realise they aren't unattractive physically but by nature of their personality which causes a vicious feedback loop.

When I was younger I didn't have a huge amount of success with women (I was by nature shy and introverted, still am to an extent) but I realised early that was my issue and no-one elses, things improved as I matured and became more confident in who and what I am but had they not I'd still have been happy enough - I was for years after all.
Sure, but if that happens... I think we're fucked either way?

I think any providers would be just as susceptible (maybe more so; Google ostensibly has the means to protect data, legally and technologically), and your data would already be on Google's servers unless you only emailed or chatted with other non-Google users.
Aren't those ornamental at this point, though? Like I thought they use some other record-keeper as the source of truth on who owns the stock, rather than whether you hold a certain piece of paper (bearer shares).
That's a couple billion years from now, no? By that time human will either be a kingdom of species or extinct. Kind of weird to talk about it effecting mankind in anyway.
Funny thing then: I did a 1 hour video conference at pretty high resolution from roughly the Belarusian border a few weeks ago. It definitely qualified as 'the edge of nowhere' rather than the middle and it worked flawlessly. This was using a cellular hotspot so yet another hop. The counter party was in Amsterdam.

In the major cities I've never had a single problem bandwidth wise either so I really don't know how you are set up for roaming but I'd be looking at my provider rather than at the infrastructure, which as far as I can see is pretty good.
In AI parlance, is it correct to say that humans utilise a prompt that is a lifetime's worth of data?
What do you mean "compete fairly". I don't see how they competed unfairly when they came back. There is no way a small, single-locale-focused ride share company can provide the levels of service and quality people have come to expect from Uber and Lyft.
Yes, it works quite well.

Especially if the port prediction part is driven by a dedicated "rendezvous" server rather than delegated to the clients to do. This plus taking care of the long tail (weird NAT combos) and adding a TCP traversal as a fallback used to get you a success rate of 95-97%.
If you wanted a support group now as an involuntarily celibate person, what would you do?
I'd argue we do. In most areas of the country formal citations for violating social distancing measures are extremely rare; we occasionally crack down on the most blatant excesses, but generally just accept that some people are gonna have large parties or large protests.
Lisp of course
It's not about running the homeserver but not leaving metadata behind. At least this is how I understood it.

Why cold fusion specifically?
See my comment below, and the book "Breath" by Nestor:

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=24247066

And this one about the book "Jaws" by Kahn:

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=23435964

The short answer is that two big changes in human history led to this problem:

1. Agriculture. Our diets drastically changed when we started growing food, and that had enormous impact on our jaw, breathing, and facial structure.

If you've read Jared Diamond (Guns, Germs and Steel) or more recently Sapiens, you'll understand this. They describe agriculture as an advance for the human race, but a setback for individual humans!

2. The industrial revolution. There was a huge population explosion, and we fed all those mouths with even more monotonous diets (more bread, rice, corn, factory farms, etc.) This is taking agriculture to the next level. We replaced animal power with machines in many cases.

-----

If you want a visual, the book "Jaws" tells about Europeans who came to the Americas in ~1600. The Europeans had the benefits of technology that let them travel across the sea, but were closer to 5 feet tall, and they had terrible teeth, and malnutrition.

There was a dentist by the name of Price who observed the Native Americans. Basically he was like "WOW they are 6 feet tall and they have beautiful jaws! They breathe through their nose and not their mouth. They don't sleep with their mouths wide open, and they don't snore."

Mouth breathing is a sign of poor breathing. Just like a boxer knows to breathe through his nose, but when he gets hit too much and tired, he starts breathing through his mouth.

When you're sleeping, you're supposed to breathe through your nose as well (because the organ is made for it), but many people breathe through their mouths due to having obstructed airways. Which are result of diet, weight, and lifestyle.
On one occasion I was given a complimentary hotspot+SIM to use while waiting for the installer to show up. That wasn't a good sign.
Modern hunter-gatherers are generally not considered representative of our ancient ancestors. I can go into more detail if anyone's curious, but the short version is that they've had just as long to "evolve" as we have and the extant groups are those that were able to live in very marginal environments where no one else could, among other things.

Of course there's debate both ways and lots of people trying to tease out the parts that are representative, but it's unsettled enough that I recommend just thinking of them as wholly unrepresentative.
I think it's extremely low density collection of dust particles held together by electrostatic forces. AKA a cosmic dust bunny.
Fully agreed. It's a real problem.
As Joel Spolsky says, no one really reads. May be if you sum your status up in least possible words it will reduce the pokes a bit.

Also I sent a college a message while he was on holiday knowingly so that he can see and may reply if he wants to when he comes back.

If you are on holiday (palm emoji) you are free to not pick up any calls and messages, until an unless you job is life critical and requires you to respond immediately at any hour.
I am most sure if NYC and SF are too hot at the moment.

It really is hard to say what will happen as the banking system is so different today than in the past. I do think we will see continued leaking of all the new money that is being printed out into hard assets, but beyond that I have no idea.

Presumably cock-up rather than conspiracy, but you can search the UK Charities Commission for information on any charity. Bletchley Park says that its registered charity number is 1012743 - https://bletchleypark.org.uk/about-us/contact-us - but I can't find anything when searching the Charity Commission website: https://beta.charitycommission.gov.uk/charity-search/?search...

I'd be interested to know a bit more about the breakdown of their finances. As another comment says, I wonder just how much Iain Standen, their CEO, gets paid, and whether he offered to take any kind of pay cut. Not saying it would eliminate all layoffs and / or furloughs, but it would be a meaningful gesture of solidarity.
Modern ATGMs are usually subsonic; none of the protective systems on tanks are designed to counter supersonic missiles or projectiles. There's a world of difference in countering a Mach 3 missile and a TOW or Hellfire.
There are ~1.5 trillion stars in Andromeda + the Milky Way combined, so I read.

Saying that they are mostly empty space seems like a way of rhetorically obscuring the common sense idea that close encounters and collisions would become more likely.

Also the statistical distribution of velocities would be more heterogenous, wouldn't it? Bimodal? That ought to have some noticeable effect on dynamics. You also have, I assume, a second central black hole doing something, maybe disrupting an otherwise stable system.

It's just weird to say, although it seems to be somewhat popular, that objects in space don't collide, when on the one hand, anyone can look at something like the Moon, and asteroids that look like rubble piles, and we also "listen" to much larger things colliding via LIGO, and I assume people in astronomy related threads know about the central black holes in galaxies that grew to millions of suns.

Plus Apple makes devices that harm the environment by being hard to repair by design.

edit: It's a well known, documented fact that Apple hardware is hostile towards the environment. Your downvote wont change that.
Oh I see I assumed the GP was talking about after such a dataset I agree you likely couldn't bootstrap without a lot of data but couldn't you use more classic approaches to extract data and then train a model (obviously once you know the extraction process is fool proof?)
Yes, NOP is just an XCHG AX, AX. For instructions such as XCHG, the microcode doesn't know anything about the specific registers; hardcoded circuitry substitutes the registers from the instruction. This saves on microcode size. Microcode also doesn't know about 8-bit vs 16-bit instructions; that is also done in circuitry.

As far as XLAT, I haven't seen anything yet to answer your question. I hope to figure out the microcode, which should provide more details.
> (Google also added .dev to the HSTS preload list so browsers expect names in that domain to only be reachable via HTTPS, thus breaking in-house uses of .dev.)

Anyone using .dev for that was already broken per the spec. There are TLDs for those cases, they are .test, .local and .invalid.
Maybe you want to look into your perception of the world in contrast to facts. Some bias in there apparently.
It could be interesting to artificially constrain the number of cars and auction the slots on a rolling 12 Month basis so that the tax payers get the full value of the licenses rather than speculators
Large universities often run their own campus police departments. They don’t act as substitute parents but substitute governments. In this capacity, the university has to police student behavior - it is the only entity which can do so.

Universities have a wide degree of latitude in how aggressively they pursue crimes on campus (often this causes friction with the hosting town’s police force). Campus police can be less harsh on drug offenses, as the GP describes.
I don't have time to reproduce results, nor should I be expected to do so. I trust the journal to trust the author. It's a chain of trust.

I shouldn't have mentioned snobbiness; people've gotten caught up on the wrong part of the message.
Based on the fact GPT-3 seems capable of producing flowery language that is confusing and ultimately nonsensical, it seems to me that GPT-3 has a future writing speeches for politicians ;)
Incels refer to the specific beliefs associated with the incel community as "The Blackpill". According to incels, the incel term does not refer to the beliefs, but simply the state of being involuntarily celibate, whereas being "blackpilled" means believing in the ideology associated with the incel community.
“Free”, which is basically Microsoft, as an investor, has paid those $4-$15MM minus ~30% of margin they make over pure operational costs.

Electricity was burned and NVidia GPUs that could have been doing paid job were doing GPT-3 training instead.
I'd take some reading recommendations if you have any.
In my experience (I have a bit of that), tools tend to be whatever I need, at the moment, to get the job done. If it works well, I look to use that tool again; maybe finding a way to make it repeatable/scripted/generalized. Some tools have lasted a couple of years; seldom have any lasted for much longer. I can't afford to marry them. It's just a casual "friends with benefits" relationship with most tools and techniques.

Tech changes quickly. Not just the technology, but also the markets, customer bases/expectations, design ethos, and delivery/distribution systems.

So does the jargon, but I've learned not to waste too much time trying to keep up with that.

If I get too mired in the workflows, infrastructure and tools, tech can go whizzing past, while I'm polishing my scripts.
Don't forget about BRL-CAD. Fully open source, decades old, actively maintained, scriptable, with a mature Tk GUI.
