ORMs often introduce their own flavor of Domain-Specific Language, or their own language (Entities instead of e.g. rows). I'd posit that learning an ORM is just as much work as learning SQL, but with an extra layer of indirection.

It's like learning HTML via React.

Legal requirement for personal automobile liability insurance in Germany is 7.5M EUR for personal injuries and 1.2M for property damage. I was startled when I moved over here from Maryland, where $500k liability limit was the highest available from Geico at the time.

We have an umbrella liability policy for 100M EUR - generally recommended in Germany. Our home insurance is less than 300 EUR/yr. Most expensive insurance we have is long-term disability. However, we do not insure older used cars for anything other than liability, and certainly never insure consumer electronics. If a month’s pay could replace it, or it’s not something that absolutely must be replaced right away, we wing it. Insurance is for risks that we could not cover from savings or that would cause long-term financial hardship, not disappointments.

Ask HN: How to Discover Deep Learning Research Labs?
TL:DR How do you find labs/centres working on your area of interest ?

I started reading DL research papers a few months ago. Before that I used solely mooc materials or textbooks. I have found that reading every recent paper from a topic is not possible and discovering decent projects is almost impossible.

Recently I discovered : HanLab e.g. https://hanlab.mit.edu/projects/ofa/

It's decent but finding these kind of labs seems difficult. I couldn't find it listed on any MIT website. Stumbled upon it link to link.
>For one, it seems to me you have to basically reject all of relativistic physics if you want to maintain a perspective on the universe where only the present moment exists. This is because the relativity of simultaneity tells us that there is no such thing as a universal present moment. How can only a single moment exist when there is no such thing as a single moment?

Humans do extremely poorly in relativistic environments because we tend to become expanding clouds of atoms at the energies needed to make relativity relevant to every day experience.

At the energies we can survive at a universal time is an extremely good approximation to your daily experience.
This is my general opinion of drugs that can be said to heighten certain skills, that you feel like its heightened when in actual fact anything useful that came out of it would have done so whilst sober, but whilst sober it wouldn't feel like the relevation that it did whilst on the drug.

It's not even that unique to drugs. Theres TV shows which I've found make you feel more intelligent for getting the twist or whatever, where in reality it was actually quite simple.

The only time I think it can be helpful (though I can only testify for alcohol here) is that it can help stop analysis paralysis and make you more confident in your decisions. They may be wrong decisions, but thats not the point
> For 200 air force enlistees

Which means: for the people with a high enough AFQT score, IQ is correlated with AFQT score. This is indeed interesting, but generalizing to the rest of the population is a methodological mistake.

Moreover, there is no reason to assume the AFQT score to depend only on genetic factors alone (even if I don't see reasons to assume genetics has no impact on it either).

And btw, the study you quote explicitly rules out the conversion done in the book:

> no direct one-to-one correspondence AFQT percentile scores and IQ scores can be stated.
That would cover forced conception/abortions, but how does it cover the right to an abortion?

It's not like becoming pregnant is "being forced to give birth";

The fact that MM is part of a larger conglomerate of apps from Consensys and since recently they turned the monetization dial heavily, I think that with Metamask Swaps they won't have an intrinsic motivation to standardize their user moat away. They'd lose a huge chunk of revenue from competing browsers. And additionally, MM has restricted their license already to stop Brave from using their IP.
It's just a resistor over the capacitor that slowly draws current from it. Little enough that it doesn't matter in normal operation, but enough to reasonably quickly discharge the capacitor to a safe level when power is removed.

> In five years when there are no long-term side-effects the antivaxxers will die down again.

You seem very certain. I'm not convinced. Some of them are simply making things up. I had one of my coaches try to show me a video of a guy sticking spoons to his body trying to tell me it was the vaccine making him magnetic.

How do you reconcile "hey, once we can show that long term side effects are non-existent" with "because there aren't enough side effects right now, they're just inventing completely crazy nonsense that defies all logic"?

I had a friend in high school who found it funny to hand unsuspecting people a fully charged capacitor he pulled from a camera flash. This was 30 years ago, before "modern electronics", so the charge lasted longer than a few seconds. Why this never started a fight I don't know.
The most efficient carbon capture technology is not releasing the carbon in the first place.

And if you think the consequences of doing that will be bad, not doing it will be far worse. Because when that starts to become even more evident you won't be able to turn back in time to undo what is being done now.

We had massive lockdowns to try to limit the damage of a single virus. A lot of fuel burning was avoided thanks to reduced mobility, and remote working. More or less the world survived to that. Coupled with more efficient/clean power generation could be the firsts in a series of steps that could manage to at least delay, if not avoid, the worst effects of global warming.
I think it's a question worth answering simply because there are people out there who fear magnetic fields, be they from power lines, electromagnetic transmitters or otherwise. I've seen the effects of magnetic fields referred to in several posts from people trying to prove that Chinese 5G bats are causing covid.

Some basic research and napkin math to show people they have nothing to fear might be useful, although I'm not sure how far you'd get in a discussion with people that firmly believe in such nonsense.

I'm also kind of curious what the lethal dose of neutrinos would be. I know humanity will be burned to a crisp by an exploding sun before a neutrino overdose would ever become a problem, but if there's a theoretical deadly dose I'd be interested to know it.
Obviously the law isn't consistent. Doesn't mean we should race to the bottom though, expanding everyone's bodily autonomy should be a goal.
> Five types of animals

I think that he could be confusing animals with the five groups of vertebrates. IMAO, Is common in English to use animals mostly for big animals with bones and critters or bugs or "somethingsomething-fish" for everything else.

If we need to choose just five, among the really, really successful types of animals (in a very broad sense) we have Mollusca, Artropoda, Cnidaria, Chordata and... lets see, I would dobt between Platyhelminths because most vertebrates are hosts of several of them, or maybe Nematoda because they are hugely influential and everywhere in the soil in large amounts.

But we have also a lot of other groups: Annelida, Porifera, Echinodermata, Brachyopoda, Bryozoa, Priapulida etc... Definitely more than five big types of animals.
This might be a nice feature of a multimeter: discharge mode.

Putting the leads over a capacitor, the multimeter will show the voltage and discharges the capacitor with a constant safe current. Beeps can be used to indicate when the capacitor is safe to handle or not.
Why is living bad? Would you rather not live right now?
Well yeah, but one of the motivations of using an ORM is that you don't have to write (database engine specific) SQL. I mean the database agnosticism is generally speaking not an issue, but still.

What stops you from changing the service and suggesting same thing to your friends and family? There are alternatives around
Not an expert, but... "Net gain" seems to be the "give us enough $Billions and years and we'll find it" holy grail of fusion power. Vs. a $4 Casio calculator I can buy on Amazon today includes a zero-maintenance solar cell that is good for "net gain, plus useful work". Large-scale solar and wind power are already real-world at commercial scale, with costs per MW-h that pretty much beat every alternative. ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cost_of_electricity_by_source ) Old-type nuclear (fission) energy has a horrible "what was promised, vs. what was delivered" record.

Maybe your equations and power laws are right, and a "big enough" tokamak would be a competitive source of power. But then there are the details, like "big enough will cost $25 Trillion". Followed by delays, cost overruns, etc.

I'm thinking that a rational, non-expert taxpayer would say, "This fusion thing is a hundred times worse than NASA's Senate Launch System. Stop wasting my money on it NOW, and let gullible investors waste theirs instead."
It depends a lot on the era. A lot happened in 5, 10 years. 1916 was a far more edgy group than those who actually gained power and popularity later.

Once Irish independence became the political issue, the country did divide along religious lines. Those didn't necessarily contradict cultural or class lines, but religious background was and is a very solid predictor of nationalist-unionist preferences IRL.

De Valera, his support base & his politics was the powerhouse it was for a reason. Partition was catholic-protestant. Actual class politics and politics generally was absolutely catholic-protestant. The majority of the population was religious. Those things played a big part in the real politics of the following decades. They didn't matter as much in 1916, when the whole country wasn't involved yet.

Yes, but regardless of their relevance to our daily lives, Einstein's equations do have strong implications about the basic structure of the universe. And that structure is fundamentally not compatible with ontological presentism.
I think it's important not to conflate ecstasy or whatever street/party drugs are widely available, and whatever excipients or other additions, with actual pure MDMA.
The Right Thing™ for a project that actually has multiple contributors is that the CI pipeline rejects code that based on the compiler diagnostics is either definitely wrong or, if it was correct, should be annotated in a way the compiler can understand and stop emitting the diagnostic. It doesn't matter whether one or another contributor has this switched off or ignored it.

That is, committing this code should have had the same impact as if it was missing the semi-colon, the library doesn't build, tree is on fire, fix before you do new work.

Of course if your code is in sufficiently bad state, you might find it's frustrating to have say 500 bugs to solve before you can get the CI pipeline to output artefacts. I think that means you didn't have good software and you must fix those bugs first, but if you're convinced the software is good it can be tempting to instead disable the diagnostics telling you otherwise and press on.

I think these days that you don't really pay extra to have an HDMI port on a monitor. As HDMI is signal compatible with DVI, you can just use a passive adapter if your computer only has a DVI output.

We have lost like a dozen nukes over the years - rhey are on ocean floor or in a glacier or totally unaccounted for. Tactical weapons are horrible, they are not kept safely in a secure silo, they are deployed, moved, they travel, they are near the front line and are more likely to start WW3.

"That never been the case, even at the peak arsenal levels. USSR, and USA bombing each other into the iron age? Yes, but not much more."

I was also surprised to learn that directly killing every person in a country with nukes is impossible.

However, Nuclear Winter might finish off most or all survivors - models predict massive fires triggered by nuclear war, soot in the upper atmosphere leading to major temperature drops and widespread famine. Surviving that after all infrastructure and industry has been obliterated, and with widespread radioactive fallout...

Suffice to say that I agree with OP's overall point, we have the doomsday machine.
> I'm staunchly anti-insurance in most cases, as once someone is making a profit it can't be a positive-expected-value deal.

Are you also against loans?

Insurance is just a way offload risk onto someone else for a fee. An insurance companies profits are not risk free, but they hope a large diverse pool of insured will keep them from being wiped out in a large event.

Most of us don't have a choice on whether to carry insurance or take out loans. I think it's more interesting to look at what the rich do, and from my reading it seems to be mixed depending on cost.

> If desktops could make a platform where I can write my app in one language, host it on my own server and get global distribution running in a sandboxed environment then I'd consider it.

It was called Java and ironically people hated it because it was sluggish and didn't use native widgets. Now we have webapps which reinvent the GUI on almost every site and have built in 100ms+ latencies. Go figure.

> The web distribution model is just so much nicer for users and devs. No app stores, no install/uninstall process, no access to system internals.

No ability to use it at all in an area with shitty network, no consistency, no integration, no respect for OS themes, no ability to continue using old versions if something is wrong with the new one...

> I can deploy an app today and just send a link to my friends for them to use it. It takes a day just to put together an app store submission with all the necessary screenshots and configuration, not to mention the lengthy review process which could then deny me permission to launch.

On Windows you could put your binary and libraries in a zip file and distribute to users in any variety of ways, including via web hosting. Macs could do the same thing with Application Bundles or their single-file applications before that.
As someone in their 30s, married and preparing for kids, what has surprised me is how much all of the little things add up. Not the sheer dollar amount, but rather just how many bills you can get in a single month and how many little bits of infrastructure are required for a stable baseline day to day living.

The answer for me was “enough that I have to actively dedicate time to managing them.”
How to Find the Length of List in Python?
As I understand it, the chrome team have tended towards using more memory as a way of improving performance (i.e. trading space for time), with the feeling being that most systems have quite a lot of memory (relatively speaking) so why not use it.

This isn't a one off thing so would be challenging to change. It's more a case of many small decisions about increasing memory usage that in aggregate add up.
That sounds all dandy and exciting! Good luck!
You could not do it to a human because you'd need a nonuniform field over a much larger distance, which means the maximum of that field would have to be enormous, far higher than in the frog case, and far higher than could be generated by any practical electromagnet, superconducting or otherwise.
So now you get all the bloat of a bundled web browser and the completely-non-native GUI of a website plus the all the security of a native application?
The article misses the point of insurance (which AppleCare actually isn’t technically). AppleCare is an extend warranty program which includes accidental damage coverage. There is a manufacturer/ customer relationship component here that the author might be overlooking.

Those expensive but cosmetic fixes aren’t the kind of thing you use insurance for generally. If you are Apple you might be happy to keep your customers on the latest OEM accessories and machines in good repair. Profit on the plan isn’t the only reason to offer AppleCare. Keeping consumers buying the next greatest Apple device might be part of how Apple value AppleCare. Apple may be designing the coverage to be used as the author is using it in which case makes the plan less profitable than we all might imagine. However the overall customer lifetime value benefit to Apple is probably still positive.
The amount of long lived radioactive material produced by fusion reactors is many orders of magnitude less than fission. Iirc it's about the same amount of the radioactivity released as burning coal in a coal plant of the same power output.
Thing is, you can say that is the lie. That, over sufficient time, any form of money will collapse to worthlessness. Then it's just a question of when you bought in and when you cashed out. It's rather arbitrary. That it increases in value, is the lie. Nothing says it does… but repeating the lie.

It's a very popular lie.

> the market is literally invaded by rubbish quality capacitors, and swapping a bad quality one with another bad quality one guarantees it will fail again one day

Actually, even a quality capacitor will fail eventually, just not as early as the fake ones. As you have mentioned about the heat, the capacitor will be exposed to it and will fail because of it.
Wow, if modern html and CSS is the least complex GUI framework you've used, you need some exposure. That combo is uber-complex, and the tool sets are college degrees all by themselves. It is a flat out joke how the developers of today have added complexity everywhere they could.

> Self-reporting is always how race is assigned. Self-reporting is how we know that certain minorities are 'underrepresented' in certain jobs--folks self-report their race when hired.

Sure, because race is entriely social construct. It's impossible to find a genetic link between the vague notion of 'black' and IQ, because people who are in the social category 'black' or 'latin' or 'european' have a wide variety of genotypes.

As such, the only possible conclusion from IQ studies is that IQ is a measurement of social and perhaps early childhood environments. So, improving conditions for marginalized groups will improve IQ and implicitly improve other success metrics (to the extent those are correlated with IQ).

Note - IQs below 100 are a different matter entirely, and they mostly represent known developmental disorders such as Kleinefelter, or severe malnutrition in early life (a preventable condition, but irreversible).
