I don't understand what that has to do with intelligence? Rote learning doesn't make you intelligent. Again, OP specifically said "if you can't complete on intelligence" and then went on to draw a link to "activities" being bullshit, and therefore a not a measure of intelligence. That makes no sense at all.
Apple Health is a great example of using the FHIR standard to establish a personal health record.
I agree, and I've also been called out for doing "stupid" defensive assertions. It's almost certainly not a code-level issue this time though. This whole thing reeks of infrastructure/caching issues.
> HN, for example, has much improved

No, HN has turned into a Marxist echo chamber in the past couple of years.

Marxism is corrosive to honesty, respect, fairness, justice, compassion, humanitarianism, reason, knowledge - it resulted in Russian gulags and CCP live organ harvesting.

1. Several.

2. Not working.

Why is that interesting?

It's trivial to screenshot a Slack channel. Or pretty much any other form of communication a business might use.
> Yep, back in the 1970s it was the coming ice age,

No. That was an artifact of hype in the mainstream press. If you look at the research being published at the time, the consensus was fairly consistently for warming scenarios (by a factor of 2:1 during the most cooling-friendly years):

>Policy bankrupts large swaths of the logging industry.

Just speculating here but it's probably the big guys / Multi National lobbying the US Gov for tariffs knowing full well they can can manage since they have assets on both sides of the border and drive the Independents and little guys out of business causing more consolidation and getting rid of any potential competition. It's the same as the Rich advocating for higher taxes, trying to keep less people from getting rich. I know a few guys in the Oil/Blending business and they are under constant assault from the Majors who keep advocating for more and more regulations hoping to bankrupt the smaller players and consolidating their grip on the Industry. You can't take anything anymore at face value, there is always an angle.
It's well documented [fte] that news stories about crime rose in the nineties and beyond, as crime rates fell. Whether the dog wagged the tail or the other way round is hard to say - certainly during this period of crime decline, popular perception that crime is worse remained steadfast [gallup]. News channels may have been merely amplifying what they noticed their audience wanted to hear; or, they created an atmosphere of paranoia because (as now with the Citizen app), it boosts ratings.

Crime is also relatively easy to report, and makes for riveting television. The victims are easy to identify, and interview. There is no complexity because what matters is only the aftermath, rather than what leads up to what ends up being criminal. Perhaps the arsonist in this case was just being exceedingly careless with a campfire BBQ; who cares, when it feels good to find someone to blame them and brand them as "evil"?

The reason the US appears to be "on the edge," all the time, is that the media loves creating that narrative. If you saw broadcasts that said, "it's all sorta average here, folks, in fact some things are gradually getting better," why would you tune in the next day?

WOW! I am so excited by this. I'm going to build some nice CRMs and project management tools for my clients - small and growing service businesses - and attempt a cool integration with graphing and Matrix.

This is so important and the opening up of code / databases to non-technical people will create so much value.

Maybe we can work together on it! (I guess, open source means we will be)
Max Barry actually just wrote a blog post about that:

Ignition optionally interprets but always parses javascript, optimizes and compiles bytecode. So IMO Ignition is primarily a compiler frontend that has an optional interpreter back end built in.

I could see them splitting Ignition into a bytecode compiler and separate interpreter and give them separate names.
Do you have any citations for this? I would think that removing SAT requirements would be done alongside an explicit push to admit more lower-SES students. Anecdotal but where I grew up it was never much work for students to get high SAT scores, most people I knew scored relatively high even before preparing.
My impression was that the Colorado public universities weren't that competitive. Now, that impression was formed almost fifty years ago, so it could well be wrong. But I wonder whether Governor Polis isn't addressing a non-existent problem.
> The problem is that this is Standard Operating Procedure(tm) for China

When you say "China", do you mean the Department of Health, or the Department of Defense, or the Department of Trade, or the Chinese government, or the Chinese people, or some Chinese guy?

It makes as much sense to attribute a Standard Operating Procedure to "China" as it does to attribute something like that to "America", or to say "Americans think...", which is not very much at all, because America, like all societies of more than one person, is a pluralist society.

China is 1.3 billion people. If you treat it as a collection of different interests and points of view, your analyses and predictions will have more cogency.
For reference, the base price/square foot of new construction increased 20% when Trump introduced these tariffs.

He also tariffed Chinese concrete at the same time.

The reason it went up so much is (like any other business), contractors and manufacturers need to preserve their profit margins, multiplying the impact of the tariffs for new home builders.

It also allowed domestic producers to hike their prices (which they did). Also, the tariffs caused many substitutions of slightly more expensive (but now cheaper) materials, leading to bizarre shortages and more price hikes.

Then, covid hit and now this. It’s a complete disaster.

Is the department of commerce actively trying to get Trump back in in 2024, or do they just like inflation, homelessness and high interest rates?
> Cars randomly refuse to charge, charge much slower than they should, etc. And it's not rare, it's likely that this will happen multiple times on a trip, from what I've seen.

Indeed that seems to be very common around here hence my mentioning fallback chargers: you can’t currently rely on a specific charger working, so you must plan for an alternative or two at every charging stop.
This is a good point, but it's not as clear cut.
The free parameter V helps trade-off this.

For example if you have V=9.0 for alpha=beta+90° you have nbselected = 5622861 and for alpha=beta+45° nbselected = 1527848
That's only 3.7 times smaller.

But the main point of the paper is to have a really simple model to highlight the pointlessness of Bell theorem rather than point to a specific mistakes by experimenters.
As someone who has had the auto emergency braking (radar based) engage while the car was already on autopilot, I find this scary. Had it not been on, autopilot would have not slowed down fast enough and hit the vehicle in front of me.

Also the fact that without radar they are limiting vehicles to 75mph means it's useless in Texas and many other states.
> I feel like it was in part because of money interests and also because it was something Trump touted as true.

I agree on both counts. With respect to the latter, I yearn for a time when we can dissect the media's coverage of Trump somewhat dispassionately without being branded a Trump Supporter (as though there is some kind of firm dichotomy in which we must be one of Team Trump or Team Media).

Deprecating A/B tests with offline policy evaluation
I recently read about a technique in statistics/ML called "offline policy evaluation".

The idea is that you can evaluate how new policies will perform by using historical data generated under a previous policy. For example, rather than testing a new fraud policy in an A/B test, you can use historical logs to determine if the new policy will outperform the existing one. This seems like it could be a great step before A/B testing new policies.

I whipped up some example code to test out what would be considered the "hello world" of offline policy evaluation if anyone is curious:
https://github.com/banditml/offline-policy-evaluation/blob/main/examples/Inverse%20propensity%20scoring.ipynb

My question to you is -- have any of you have tried this or do any of your currently use OPE at your companies?
This should be the top comment. Social media companies can either be monopolies or they can put limits on the speech of their platform... but they can't do both.

While not against the law of freedom of speech, political moderation processes are certainly against the intent. Every once in a while we get a case like this where an unpopular fringe opinion becomes mainstream and underlines the point. But this isn't just a matter of Facebook / Twitter / YouTube needing a better moderation process - this is more fundamental. No person or organization - no matter how benevolent or wise - should have the power to declare truth in a society.

Fringe opinions need constitutional protection - regardless of the era or the technology.
Fair enough, I'm against the on-going hype in the space.
> Most web tech has insidious anti-intellectual designed baked in

Citation? I don’t know many people who would call Brendan Eich anti-intellectual for instance.
It is real life. I’ve uninstalled the app multiple times because it was obvious that it was manufacturing anxiety. I was the first in my circles to delete Facebook and other social media profiles for the same reason (actually delete the profile not just uninstall). I felt others just didn’t notice what was going on. With Citizen I then learned to just disable notifications.
This is one of the reasons people with more resources do much better on these tests - getting test-specific tutoring, taking prep classes, etc. will significantly raise most people's scores. The tests are much closer to measuring "How good are you at taking the SAT/ACT?" than some kind of unbiased "How brilliant are you?" measurement.
I wouldn't include that in enterprise, since you are creating difficulties for small companies to onboard with you. There are some companies that include SSO in the initial plans, like Zendesk, and they get us to happily pay for the plans that fit our scale. I'm pretty sure you will have other awesome features to include in the enterprise plan.

Please, reconsider and good luck! :)
Hm? I always get an e-mail when the invoice is ready and another e-mail when the payment has been received.

You are correct about the 100ms (although 5s is too short, should be something like 30 given our understanding of task switching) but it's worth pointing out that the comparison you quote (and all those like it, not just from Tesla) is disingenuous.

All the self driving companies do this, but it only makes sense to compare # of accidents/mile between like processes. It's an ok proxy for total risk iff accidents were uniformly distributed, but we know that isn't even close to true.

With a system like Teslas', it is preferentially, probably approximately exclusively if normalized by distance, deployed in situations with a lower accident rate - comparing that to total rates is nonsense.

What would be more interesting is Tesla vs. human accident rates on only freeway miles, say, but I haven't seen that anywhere, have you?

Best rough stats I can find is that less than 1/2 of all accidents happen on highways. There are a also a ton of fender-bender, parking lot and/or traffic jam accidents that aren't really applicable either.
"This is a bad idea" is neither nasty nor snarky.
"There are only two hard things in Computer Science: cache invalidation and naming things."

Cache invalidation is always a very tricky affair. It can work for a while but as complexity grows it gets very hard to maintain and debug. It's very much a "here be dragons" situation and you have to go into it with your guard up.

I was at a small startup that had a quick and dirty contractor built API. It worked, but for our largest customers, 99th percentile latency started going over the API gateway timeout. The quick and dirty hack on top of it was aggressive caching with too-clever invalidation logic. It worked until new features were added and then it started failing dramatically and unpredictably. The bugs were an absolute nightmare. We ended up spending almost a year cleaning up the data model, sharding things by customer, and fixing a bunch of N+1 queries, all so that we could get rid of our API cache layer and kill the bugs for good.

ubuntu has this horrible habit of re-inventing stuff that works well and then push it to users and customer, only to deprecate that in the next release.

That's practice, right? Coaching would be practice directed by a tutor.
Your perspective assumes we have universal access to schools of at least comparably good quality giving a proper education without any grade inflation, bogus credits to make graduation rates look higher, and uniform standards for teachers and students. This is not remotely the case in the USA.

At some point, we have to start using a common yardstick to compare apples to apples that had at least the rudiments of an unbiased statistical sampling. The SAT does a decent job.
> I haven't engaged autopilot since then. I can't trust auto pilot anymore- it couldn't deal with a dead-simple scenario of a clearly marked lane getting added.

I have a question about Tesla Autopilot.

Looking at the common driver assistance features that are common nowadays even on many entry level models from most car companies, I see adaptive cruise control (often with low speed following), warnings if you start to drift out of your lane (sometimes with minor steering nudges), warnings if you turn on a turn signal when something is in your blind spot, and similar things. They are usually separate features you can individually enable or disable.

I assume Tesla does those things, too, but are they part of Autopilot or are they ? If they are part of Autopilot, do you lose them when you decide not to engage Autopilot or can you turn on and off individual features of Autopilot?

Put another way, if I found myself driving a Tesla, and only wanted it to only use those driver assist features that I'd find if I were driving a low to mid level Honda Civic or Toyota Camry, is that possible?

New Cancer-Killing Virus Therapy Against Inoperable Skin Cancers
None of the articles you cite demonstrate what you seem to think they do. When the number of cases was minuscule, the threat to Americans was low and those articles were spot on: Keep vigilant, get your flu shot, but don't stress too much yet. Citing Pelosi visiting San Francisco (at a time when there were zero cases in the region, but a growing number of anti-Asian hate crimes) again doesn't make a point to any reasonable person. These claims speak only to zealots.

More critically, you have a higher standard of every random article in every newspaper than you do of agencies actually responsible. Which is truly dystopian.

Speaking of which, Trump's "travel ban" (that wasn't a travel ban) was the single action taken after the virus was already spreading uncontrolled in NY, Washington State, and Europe. It did nothing to restrict US citizens traveling to and from the affected areas unrestrained, which thousands continued to do, even if we believed it would be remotely effective at that point. It did nothing for testing or tracing. It was the laziest, least-effort action possible. And to be clear, long after all of these things, Trump declared that the number of cases would soon be 0. He made similar "nothingburger" comments for months.

But you find issue with the media.

Incredible.

I am not from US.

Back during early pandemy when not only some US politicians blamed China, Chinese politicians blamed US, when people asked me in person about it, I would explain that both are saying the truth.

Obama banned gain of function research in 2015, right after some papers about Coronavirus specifically attracted attention.

The fact that US government continued not just gain of function research, but research into Coronavirus exactly, that was what caused the ban in first place, is something I think the US citizens really need to figure out what to do about it.
The reality of this quote doesn’t justify censorship
I do notice, at least in my city, that there seem to be a lot more reports of violent crime in my area on citizen than I would expect from looking at the city's official crime map data. that said, I don't trust the city enough to conclude that the inaccuracy is mostly on citizen's side.
The cover up didn't need to be colossal, just for everyone to point to occams razor and call anyone with a hint of curiosity a racist.

The fact that the origin of the outbreak appears to be in the same vicinity as a lab that experiments on similar viruses alone is sufficient reason to want a thorough investigation.

Otherwise, the odds that nature produced such a virus, in such a location, make for a crazy coincidence, given that we havent been facing this problem every year for decades.

i enjoy reading to my 7 month old. she has no idea what's going on, but she likes being cuddled, the sound of her parent's voices and turning the pages. what i really enjoy is that she has no idea of linear narrative, so she will turn the book to the last page and then the first. then try to eat the book. then at some point cry.

the very hungry caterpillar is somewhat unique in that she absolutely loves the illustrations, like no other book. she really sits still and gazes agog at them, especially that picture of the sun at the beginning.
I also don't think I witnessed much crime until I moved to Seattle. In the six years I've been here though I've witnessed:

1. Somebody broke into my Aunt's place while nobody was home and took some jewelry and a cell phone. Police came by, handed her a form, said nice things for five minutes then took off. Never heard anything about it again.

2. My car window smashed after being parked on the street overnight. I called the police. They pointed me to a website where I could report it so that they could keep track of statistics, but said they don't investigate individual cases. Never heard anything about it again.

3. I saw someone in a car pulling the key cylinder out and doing a thing that looked like what people do when they hot wire a car in movies (I know I'm surprised this is still a thing, it was an older car). Walked to a safe distance, called the cops. I never heard anything about it again.

4. I saw a person trying to use a screwdriver to pry the lock off a neighbor's garage as I was walking to the bus. Walked a safe distance, called the police. Never heard anything about it again.

5. People broke into the parking garage at my apartment complex and broke into cars several times. Neighbors called the police. Each time, somebody comes by, hands over a form, says there's nothing they can do. Never heard anything about it again.

I hate that this app exists. Seems terrible for all the reasons. I'm also not a hard core law-and-order person, and I don't think the answer is beefing up local law enforcement. But I can also empathize with people who live here and feel unsafe, and are looking for someone who will actually provide some level of security, although I think it's misguided to turn to this kind of app/service.
GP was adding to the discussion by stating his/her thought process at the time. Not advocating that approach for the future.
> and being powerless to stop it.

You are only powerless so long as you decide to stay within the comfortable confines of the law.

The crowd of Hacker News alone certainly has enough ability to cause serious problems for Citizen, whether through activism within their own megacorporations or independent ability.
Why does it require a cover-up so vast? All you need to keep the secret is blocking access from international investigators and the silence of the very few people originally involved. There's tons of precedent of harsh and inhumane penalties for saying things the government doesn't want you to from within China. And international investigation is quite simple to decline, you just say no. I don't think it's as complicated as you're trying to make it sound.
Flying through hyperspace is not like flying over fields. Said one famous pilot doing the Kessel Run in less than 12 parsecs. Maybe Dark Matter is the real space shadow of stuff in hyperspace the same way real space stuff has shadows in hyperspace.
