That’s a great point. Tons of people already don’t CARE about the facts, and consider fact-checkers to be just as biased as the statements they are checking. Just having 30%-90% of the population react to a deepfaked outrageous video will already be a huge damage even if 10% are stickler skeptics.

How open does it need to be?

If you're willing to take up a suitcase worth of room, you can use standard analog ICs and RF building blocks to take a quite normal DAC and upconvert it to RF, and downconvert the receive chain likewise to a very common ADC. The standard wifi channel width of 20MHz should place it within reach of quite a few off-the-shelf chips.

That approach should be able to do the whole thing with no NDAs or whatever; it would be a fine capstone project for someone chasing an EE/RF degree...

* At $1.065 million, Manhattan YTD median slides 15% below 2019 figures

9-15% is a huge set of 1-yr drops.
Google search has gotten a lot worse for me now that I use it as a backup for DDG. There's some categories it still does well, but other things are like DDG doesn't find it, but neither will Google. I'm not sure how much of that is Google going downhill (which was a trend before I switched), and how much is the loss of personalization data.
This is sadly misguided because it mistakes the behavior that’s good for the company (fast iteration loops, tight alignment between product and engineering) for the means to get there (make data scientists be more end to end).

The goal of tight iteration with good alignment is of course a good one, but verbal sleight of hand doesn’t mean the way to achieve it is with more end to end responsibilities for data science.

The huge cost of course is that data scientists and ML engineers have a hugely asymmetric comparative advantage when spending their time on model training and statistical solutions. You want them at full utilization for this set of tasks because nobody else you employ can do that same statistical work, and that work is often hugely valuable whereas most of the end to end work is frankly grunt work and fighting through errors that anyone can do.

If you hire Michael Jordan for your basketball team, why would you make him spend his (expensive) time cleaning up soda bottles or checking the elevators for maintenance issues? It utterly makes no sense and wastes the comparative advantage - all your Michael Jordans will be heading for the door.

1) gov't support: TSMC's had plenty of gov't support from the getgo and my understanding is that the govt still has some financial stake in TSMC -- which would be a red flag in the US. Samsung has a big $15B fab in Austin, TX aka, FTZ foreign-trade zone, where Apple's A chips were made until the early 2010's, but after Apple moved to TSMC in Taiwan in 2012-13, it stopped investing in smaller nodes -- now, it's mainly producing memory products (and Tesla's FSD chips). All their latest nodes (< 14nm) are in South Korea.

2) labor cost: probably very insignificant. While they employ high-paying high-tech workers, it's a capital-intensive, not labor-intensive, business. Both TSMC and Samsung spend over $10+B annually on CAPEX.

3) brain drain?: Morris Chang worked for TI for decades before founding TSMC. He pretty much started the outsourcing business in the late 80 single-handedly.

Sure. I don't agree with Trump on a lot of things, but he's at least doing something to bring them back.

This is why you should do one or more of the following at the very least.

- Always use keys and disable password based login

- Do not have ssh publicly exposed, or at the very least only via a bastion server, but if that bastion server is publicly available, then you are still quite vulnerable (perhaps even more so if someone gets into your bastion and is able to ssh to all the things if you are using key-based logins from the bastion)

- Always use a passphrase for your keys (helps with the “if someone breaks into your bastion scenario”)... but the best thing you can do is just don’t expose ssh to the public network

When FedEx walked away from Amazon, people said they were crazy.

Now, today, UPS has to bend-over-backwards to meet Amazon's demands for delivery days, pickup days, days worked, the price Amazon is willing to pay, etc.

Amazon was even able to compel USPS to delivery Amazon packages on Sundays!

Basically, UPS works for Amazon now - FedEx saw that coming, and saw Amazon buying up freighter aircraft and trucks, etc.
USPS has to deliver mail to every address in the country, whereas UPS and FedEx do not. Comparing a public service that handles the long tail and edge cases to private companies that can axe unprofitable routes (or outsource them to USPS) isn't a fair comparison.

That's a semantic difference that doesn't bear any relevance to what I'm saying. To "realize" that it can be reasonable is to accept the underlying premise - that surveillance is not necessarily (logic term there) unacceptable.

I am specifically arguing that we do not (should not) accept a priori the premise that surveillance is not necessarily bad.

To do so is to capitulate the entire argument against surveillance, and reduce our fight for privacy to nothing more than weighing lesser evils.

I argue that when someone declares, without evidence, that "X works", that is a hoax and should be criticized. Even if later evidence shows it works! Because it's easy to make a random guess, and it's hard to fight the collateral damage that wrong guess can cause.

There are a million things that might be the covid miracle cure (colloidal silver? high protein diet? grapeseed extract? etc, etc, etc). If I pick one of these on a hunch and start pushing it as a cure, I would rightly deserve to be called out.

That literally accomplishes nothing. It would be a matter of time before someone just removes the light sensor (CCD? or something) and has a custom made encoder that can write the input data as though the device actually records it live.
The HyScale specification looks familiar to most developers/devops who have been doing development or deployment for some years as we wanted to create a spec that is intuitively understood and application-centric, while at the same time grows to support 80% of the use-cases out there.

Vox and Fox are not alike. Fox News is notorious. Simply look at the racist or race-baiting things Tucker Carlson says - or what he doesn’t say.

There’s no equivalent behavior at Vox of which I’m aware.

Fox News is literally a right wing propaganda machine. Vox may have a bias and you may disagree with it but it’s not regularly engaging in fear-mongering, untethered from any sense of journalistic ethics or responsibility.

Folks may not like hearing this but we all know this is true.

Plus the particular article I linked to has interviews with reputable folks (Harvard profs, etc) so if nothing else it’s a source of reasoned opinion.

Lastly, political science is obviously not a hard science but it’s filled with people who have spent their careers reading about history and politics and studying it so, there might be some signal in that noise there :).

> Why is the USPS doing so badly when e commerce is doing so well?

1. Because their prices are uniform and fixed by legislature, and they are required by law to serve every part of this country, including remote rural areas.

This means that private carriers cherry-pick profitable, high-volume, high-margin parts of mail delivery, while letting USPS handle the unprofitable, negative-margin parts of mail delivery.

2. Because they are actively being sabotaged by the current administration.

3. Because they are forced to pre-fund their pensions. If we required the DoD to pre-fund pensions in the same manner, their budget would double overnight, and four fifths of the military would be fired tomorrow.

Semantic Reactor: Explore NLP in Google Sheets
The mental model notes are quite interesting to read but applying them is another matter. I have been reading mental models for a couple decades now and I honed in on one - invert always invert. This one simple rule has been really hard to apply.

Let me give an analogy of trying to reason about physical properties from first principles. This is another popular exhortation - think from first principles just like Feynman or Fermi. I can think from first principles in one extremely narrow field where I happen to have half a decade of education and 20 years of experience. To reason from first principles like Fermi or Feynman in a broad domain like physics requires a world class mind, a world class education and a world of experience.

Most mental model writing is akin to consuming youtube fitness porn. It looks easy to do, you look cool doing it and the end results are just spectacular. However, like Arnold or David Goggins it requires an inhuman dedication, purpose, ability to withstand pain, bounce back from trauma and just keep sacrificing. Most of the time the only person benefiting is the video creator from the ad-roll.

I appreciate the posts but I now believe these mental models are incredibly hard to do and like most of the self-improvement/growth hacking genre is just good for entertainment and commerce 99.99% of the time.

During the holiday season, my rural post office will get multiple semi truck loads per day, just of Amazon packages to deliver. Don't discount the massive volume of deliveries from amazon.

That said, regular mail is also on the decline, significantly so, as more people use technology instead of pen and paper- bills, letters, contracts, nearly everything is going digital. Packages make up an increasingly significant amount of post office revenue.

That said, anyone who pays attention to Amazon at all knows that they show no remorse about screwing over business partners by entering the same market, and Amazon has been doing that for awhile now.

Even so, I suspect that they aren't going to bother expanding delivery out to where I am now- paying the post office to deliver is almost certainly cheaper than keeping a regular workforce of independent delivery drivers way out here.
Software.... that's definitely Amazon's delivery advantage.

Their software is ingenious in that it sends drivers circling my sub-division and pulling in and out of driveways to turn around.

I don't watch FedEx and UPS trucks aimlessly wander. I wonder why that is.
War inside habitats is more likely. Would probably be something crude and tribal.
You didn't ask about this, but I thought I'd tell you since you are coming from a software engineer background.

The other side of PreSales is Post-Sales Services. Basically, it's your job to build what Sales/PreSales sold to the customer.

In services you also interact a lot with clients, but it's less sales and your technical knowledge is more highly valued. You are more likely to become a trusted advisor. Your customer has already paid, so they know they want a real defined thing of value and not just have a demo. Finally, since you actually have to build something and not just an MVP, you use your technical skills. The major downside is that some jobs are very travel heavy.

A lot of people bounce between PreSales/PostSales before settling on one or the other. Which one fits best depends on your personality.
I think what OP is saying is that any ostensible gains of a dedicated data scientist are lost later because they didn’t think about the solution through the lens of the full tech stack. Maybe there was a much easier way to implement a model that could save a lot of time. Lots of scenarios where general knowledge leads to better decisions.
Imagine cutting a cylinder in half from top to bottom, then taping the halves back together. As you spin it, the tape has to stop the two halves from flying apart. If you make the cylinder bigger and keep the centripetal acceleration the same, the tape has a harder job do because it has heavier things trying to fly apart.

Every strip of the cylinder has to keep the opposing halves from flying apart. For a big enough cylinder, the material will not be strong enough. You can make the cylinder walls thicker, but now you've made the flying-apart halves heavier too.
Sorry

There is definite progress in bringing analog support, but I agree it is nowhere near ready yet.
Yeah, I was very surprised, at first I thought: let's just get used to it, but I feel like I won't. Why on earth would hitting the biggest touchable area of the UI (the address bar) lead to a completely black screen with 0 options, that's just a big waste, it could have easily presented my most used websites there. I'm also looking for alternatives, it's a big step back imo.

Right now I have 12 useless tabs open, I never had any tabs open (unless I opened them myself for later reading, and those tabs are now lost between all those useless tabs were I just wanted to switch to another website) but it's the only way to get to your favorites and collections (whatever collections may be, currently they are the same as my favorites??).

I've been trying a browser called NetSurf lately - it's just 16MB on Windows.

Obviously it can't do everything Firefox & Chrome can - it doesn't even support CSS gradients, and has the worst font antialiasing I've seen in a while - but it's fast and lightweight. Apparently the minimum requirements are a 30Mhz processor and 16 Megabytes of RAM - it was originally designed for PDAs and set-top boxes.

Its lack of modern JavaScript support also makes it good at getting around news website paywalls, if you're so inclined.
> USPS has to deliver mail to every address in the country, whereas UPS and FedEx do not

Besides the fact that this isn't true (you'd be astonished at the number of homes that USPS won't deliver to, generally rural areas[1]), it doesn't preclude USPS from being profitable if managed properly.

Let's not pretend if USPS could ditch some routes it would suddenly be profitable and not need billions of tax payer capitol injection all the time. They're a long ways from that.

Saddled with thousands of unproductive employees, ones that will never be fired, yet collect a paycheck paid for by tax payers, and will enjoy a comfortable retirement with all that pension money. USPS might be a quasi-private company, but they sure don't behave like a private company.

[1] I'm in the industry. For these shipments we have to send them FedEx or UPS, whichever is cheapest usually, since both will deliver when USPS will not.
