I think what the OP means is that on average native speakers understand the language intuitively, while most of the non-natives were taught the rules and structure of the language directly.
Being a non-native english speaker I experienced this often. I have never gotten a useful answer for a question about english from English people. It usually was "oh, I just feel which word is right"...
The Complete Guide of Kubernetes Role-Based Access Control (RBAC)
In the intro song and video, it is made pretty clear that pinky is the insane one.
Which curve am I looking at and for what? The blue line dips a lot of times, but only sometimes does a dip coincide with a recession.
In that price range there's also the Drop Pandas. No active noise cancellation though (which some people don't like anyway).
You can invest in put options.
So first I made a fire drill and start a fire, then dig out some clay and fire it into bricks... *some time later* ... then once the UV laser lithography unit is finished, it's time to assemble the 5nm chip fabrication module for the processing units and Voila. That's the whole thing finished!

I jest, but the thing is just because a machine is capable of self replication, that doesn't mean it's any good at making anything other than itself. Organisms are extremely good at making copies of themselves, but they're ultra-optimised for just that. Even the most sophisticated organisms are only able to make a small set of very crude intentional modifications to their environment, if any. We're the only exception.

Self replicators and omni-replicators are very different things.
Same in the nordics.

There's a block heater for the engine, just to get the oil to a sane temperature. Pretty much every single parking spot in apartment buildings has an 8A/230V socket for it.

If you remove the default 2 hour timer from it, you can use the exact same socket to charge 100-200km of range to an electric car over night.

You have probably heard of Kubernetes role-based access control (RBAC). In this article, Amir Kashaunsky, ARMO VP Product, will walk you through this method so that in the end, you will be able to determine whether RBAC is something you need to worry about, and if so, what you should do about it.
Where is the valve f-stop leak now?
I mean, if Python, Java or C# were good enough for me as a C++ user, I'd use them.

The mindset behind C++ is not a relative "thing must be good enough", but an absolute "there must not be something better possible".

Of course, this is often not realized in practice, but it's the goal.
In the US the Tesla plug is their own invention. In Europe they've moved on to CCS.

In theory it should be possible to open up Superchargers to other brands, but it's more of a marketing/business issue than any technical problem.

I really don't see Volkswagen/Audi/BMW making a deal with Tesla to integrate their systems with the Tesla backend. Would you want your customers to use a competitors tools? =)

To build a bit further on this. The new testament is written in Koine Greek (Common Greek) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Koine_Greek . A lot of the phonological changes from attic to modern have already happened by the time these text were written.

For most Greek speakers texts from this time are mostly legible, words like epiousios not withstanding.

Additionally I would like to point out that pronunciation has little to do with comprehension of written texts.
If you know the graph is planar, then you can find the Tutte embedding by solving a set of linear equations [1].

However, the problem of finding a drawing that minimises the number of edge crossings (or even just the number of crossings in such a layout [e.g., 2]) for a general graph is NP-hard.

This. They want to create hype around large scale model so that they can ask for lots of money to fund this line of research.

Except that I don't think it's targeted at the general public. Rather it's targeted at grant agencies and University administration who are usually extremely myopic and conservative about funding projects that require a large upfront investment (unlike companies like openai).

In fact, I'm sure tons of people in academia are going to be pointing to this paper from now on when writing grants and asking for funding for large scale machine learning projects. Especially because of the credibility lent to it by Stanford and the people who put their names on the paper.

So it's more like a research manifesto for the field.
How does something actively existing, being worked on and working for the people using it lead to you thinking its proof that it doesn't work?
At least one study making such a claim was retracted for not disclosing the authors’ financial ties to the tobacco industry.

Knowing the industry is secretly pushing favorable coverage, I’m treating claims like this with more skepticism.
If you don't know, every experiment we have ever carried out to test this tells us it is true.

I wrote a long answer to someone else; I'm not going to retype it. But what is invariant in the 3D space you think you live in is distances. The distance of you from the kitchen is computed to be 8 meters no matter what we choose to say the x and y directions are, right? If we choose different directions for y, you may say the kitchen is 6 meters from you in the y direction, I say it is 3.7 meters in the y direction. No mystery, our frames are rotated. But we both get the same value for distances. Rotating a map doesn't change the reality of how far you are from the kitchen.

Well, you don't actually live in 3D space, you live in 4D space, where time is a dimension. So what is invariant is not distance (3 of the 4 dimensions), but intervals (time and distance between two events). when you travel at a significant fraction of light speed, you are rotating that 4D 'map'. If you rotate frames, you get different values for x, y, z, and t. But the intervals are still constant.

The intervals are the same for all observers. It is just the individual coordinates (x,y,z,t) that vary for different observers, just like (x,y) are different for you and me wrt your kitchen, but the distance we compute are the same.

edit: in summary, wouldn't you find it bizarre if I rotated the floor plan to your house and suddenly got a different distance from your couch to the kitchen? That would be absurd! Well, when you rotate in space time intervals are unchanged. IOW, the speed of light is unchanged. It would be bizarre if by a simple rotation you got a different value! You just don't 'see' (literally and figuratively) that time is a dimension, and the map rotation as non-relativistic speeds is so tiny that you don't realize that t changes along with x, y, z. But it does. It would be bizarre if it didn't.
The range of interpretation, and inferred belief in the meaning, as a function of religious belief and action is a classic example of how fraught "the word of gXd" is, subject to translation/transcription error.

If a word only exists once in the source text, and in the corpus of contemporary(*) documents, inferred meaning has to be highly conjectural.

[*] contemporary being also subject to some discussion given the highly approximate nature of document ageing. If the other uses are as little as 50 years after, how strongly would you agree with the meaning, as opposed to documents 50 years prior?

Imagine you're in the future, and discover terms of art in contemporary computing like "bus" and then your point of reference is henceforth set by ICT, and not by mechanised transport, or even electrical engineer because you don't find the dual-meaning of bus-bars, and bus (vehicle) which informed this choice.
There is a lot of evidence that these token-based models work with multi-modal data. In fact, several groups have proposed different multi-modal transformer architectures already (e.g. [1] or [2]), although I don't believe anyone has scaled them up much farther than 300M parameters yet.

If these models are shown videos of butterflies flapping their wings with a text description of 'a butterfly flapping its wings,' why wouldn't you expect it to start to relate the information coming from multiple modalities?

It's definitely a challenge to get enough high-quality data to feed a 100B parameter version of such a mutli-modal model, but there don't seem to be any theoretically insurmountable issues towards this "dumb" way of giving the models more intuition.

> This is easily shown false by simply comparing Apple with a small accounting firm. The max effect a CEO in the latter can have is on the order of $1 million, which is about 4 or 5 orders of magnitude less than the negative consequences to Apple if its CEO sucks. For a real world example see what happened when Ballmer was replaced by Satya Nadela. Or see what happened to Enron when a criminal CEO was steering the ship.

All you're really saying is that bigger companies have more to lose, not that CEOs of bigger companies have larger effects. It could be easily argued that the CEO of a smaller company is able to more directly affect the business - fewer intermediaries making decisions, less oversight etc. As for your real-world examples, you can find countless counterexamples of companies who replaced "good" CEOs and performed just as well or perhaps better. In big organizations the factors that lead to success extend far beyond the CEO.

> That is not my argument. My argument is that the increasing supply of low skilled labor has meant that wages have not gone up alongside productivity growth, which contributes to the wage gap with CEOs. That's a subtle but important difference.

Just to be clear here, I'm talking about domestic workers. So arguments about globalization etc. don't apply.

> That's exactly what we find. CEO comp in the form of stock and options are usually tied to milestones or stock performance. Look at Musk's arrangement. The stock price is often used as a proxy for performance because it aligns incentives and is harder to game than explicit metrics.

Exactly my point.

1) If CEO compensation was based on performance, then their compensation would rise and fall based on performance relative to their peers. Instead, CEO compensation rises and falls relative to the overall strength of the stock market. Just graph executive compensation vs value of the S&P or Dow and this is easy to see. (Put another way - were 100% of CEOs doing a terrible job in Spring 2020 or Fall 2008?)

2) Since CEOs are compensated in stock (or, historically, stock options), their compensation has nothing to do with the "value" they bring and everything to do with the value of the stock market.

> Not at all. If someone invents nuclear fusion in their basement and delivers $50 trillion worth of value to humanity, I really could not care if they keep a $5 trillion slice of that. They've gifted $45 trillion onto the species and I am extremely grateful to them for doing that.

Executives of the British and Dutch East India Companies were probably compensated at rates tens of thousands of times greater than that of their average "worker". Do you consider that justifiable? What about companies that use (and used) slave labor?
> Why is everything so black and white in studies

Because getting to black and white and cutting through fuzziness is the whole point of expending resources on a study.

> Does anyone care about nuance anymore? Just saying vaccinated and unvaccinated is a disservice to the population

Not if your goal is to isolate the effect of vaccine rather than to do some kind of fuzzy emotional handholding to people's instinctive, non-fact-driven subjective feelings about what groupings are important.

Moreover, because potentially the vast majority (estimates vary widely) of prior infections will have been undetected, outside of some very special study designs which would necessarily be much smaller and less population-representative [0], throwing in prior infection as an independent variable is going to be garbage data (and, even if it wasn't, any information from it would generally be nonactionable for the same reason.)

[0] e.g., using a subpopulation that is carefully monitored for infection, like healthcare workers.

Excellent point, that largely contradicts my earlier position in fact. I was thinking of an array of chars and should have considered that's only a special case.

Politicians may love to have easy targets, but they are going to have a hard time getting the public to care that they've reduced Apple's app store cut to 10% or something something walled gardens or something something encryption or whatever.

Nobody outside of tech cares very much about these issue. You can build your re-election campaign on "I stopped the big bad chemcorp from poisoning our children/I stopped the big bad environmentalists from killing jobs". You can't build a re-election campaign on beating up a target your constituents don't care either way about.

An odd analogy, given that hospital workers don't feed anyone - it's the rest of society that feeds them.

By point-blank refusing to even consider increasing capacity, despite being written blank cheques by military engineers and ventilator designers, and insisting instead on lockdowns, it is rather the other way around: society fed the healthcare managers who then turned around and bit that hand. Supermarket staff, truckers, farm workers, meat factory operators and so on cannot lock down or work from home, so they had to keep working throughout. Yet health managers just looked blankly at their shiny new emergency hospitals and acted baffled that they were expected to do things differently to normal. Nobody increased capacity to help ensure care for the essential workers. Eventually the quasi-religious approach to the health system will go away and people will start to wonder why exactly all those newly built beds had to be dismantled instead of being paired with an emergency training programme.

Unless you’re suggesting the shirt is itself made of replicating units, I think you’re underestimating the gap between what Primative Technologies et al can do versus the foundation needed to make even a simple microchip.

And given life is self-replicaing nanotechnology, I also think you’re overestimating its limitations, in particular speed.

Science is not a war. The old saying, "in a war, truth is the first casualty" shows how science, which is supposed to be about the truth, should be kept as far from warlike thinking and behavior as possible. Embracing the war metaphor destroys the possibility of objective, dispassionate inquiry.

It also creates a disastrous precedent for the future, since people will be reconditioned by having engaged in this warlike behavior.

"She didn't "fake" anything there"

Iirc almost every entry on her CV turned out to suggest something that wasn't actually true.

I don't know if it was lying or not. I was actually the first who said it is normal to make a CV look good by certain phrasings and so on. (like if you were a stay at home mom, you describe it as "heading a small family business" and so on).

I can imagine her problem was that she didn't realize that she is now a candidate for chancellor of Germany, so different standards apply, and rightfully so. It is absolutely OK to scrutinize a person who applies for the highest German office.

Also, againk she doesn't face any legal consequences for her "fakes" or whatever you want to call them. It just isn't a good look given that she wants to project an image of highest qualifications and integrity.
Some manager signed me up for pager duty against my will
I took a new programming job six months ago. The company is growing fast and our group has been very busy. My manager is happy with my work but she recently hired another manager for our group who isn't that good. I've told my manager I would quit if I had to report to him.

Anyways I got an email from Pager Duty saying I'm "going on call" soon for a part of the system I've never worked with. I'm not an SRE and I didn't agree to be on call when I joined this company.
The new manager added me to his on call list for a system I know nothing about.

I'd feel different about it if this was something I worked on but thinking about this is stressing me out. I don't know the best way to proceed. I'm tempted to ignore it completely but I know this will come up.

I don't want to have to quit but I don't want this new guy thinking he can sign me up as an SRE along with his other reports.

Anyone have any suggestions?

It depends.

Here in Finland the two largest charging networks are owned by ... grocery store chains.

Why would you stop at a janky gas station selling overpriced crap and day-old hot dogs, when you can take a 5 minute detour and go charge at a supermarket? Which usually has at least one fast-food place, maybe a restaurant and the snacks are orders of magnitude cheaper.

Also just by plugging in to an AC charger (11-22kW) when doing your shopping, you usually get back home with more charge than you left. The EV parking spots are usually at the best spots too, so that's an additional incentive.
That’s why I separated the treatment of understanding and explaining. I would still argue that a native English speaker has better skills to explain an English word in English - on average.

Individualism vs Collectivism is a debate that goes back a long time.

Your 'flattening the curve' argument is fear based.

I haven't seen any actual DATA besides media fear mongering that ICUs are 'almost' full for years now.
I firmly believe that you should just invest on a fixed schedule. Every month, every year, whatever. And if you see a significant drawdown in between those periods you can buy in before the next scheduled buying time.

But never get scared from investing when stocks are too high - this strategy works one way because you should always be long the market.

This seem to be a discussion of different proposals for adding a "pipeline" operator to JavaScript. A pipeline passes an argument to a function, so

foo |> bar

is the same as

bar(foo)

Better overview here: https://gist.github.com/tabatkins/1261b108b9e6cdab5ad5df4b80...

The main difference between the proposals seem to be if you should write (F# style):

foo |> bar

or (Hack style):

foo |> bar(#)

F# style is more elegant if the function takes a single argument, but Hack style adapt better when a function takes multiple arguments.
