The financial literacy stuff is pretty interesting.

Take Schwab, for example - if I follow the easiest to access and lowest effort version of their advice, I'll probably save a decent amount, hold too much of it in cash, but be able to retire at a standard of living similar to what I'm used to at about the time people "normally" retire.

They'll make some money off of me lending the cash I held too much of.

But it probably amounts to maybe retiring a couple years earlier or later at most, and if minimizing retirement date was the #1 most valuable thing to me, a) I'd identify that my early to mid-career saving rate makes the most difference, and b) look for more sources of information than Schwab. (Which is too say non-optimal advice is not specifically bad advice. Particularly when considering human behavior.)

If we apply that to financial education run by Schwab, they're probably identifying that their biggest growth opportunity is getting more people to invest through them, hopefully keeping enough cash liquidity to improve their lending business. (Encouraging an emergency fund to be held in cash through their money market accounts, and getting tons of people to use that over standard checking would probably be great for them.)

But there's an important pre-qualification: You have to financially be in a position to save and invest money for any of this to matter. Someone can't really be in a paycheck-to-paycheck trap or inescapable debt trap, they need to be out of it. Because it doesn't matter if you know that debt is bad when you're facing eviction or about to miss work because your car broke down.

If someone has an unfortunate socioeconomic background, emulated the adults around them, stumbled out of high school, and are working minimum wage jobs, they didn't need financial literacy.

They needed something like different education, nutrition, parenting, rewards structures, or who knows what.

Presumably even something like getting pushed into a trade like a plumber or mechanic would pay more dividends than any particular financial knowledge about avoiding debt or saving.

Where financial knowledge can help is people who are already in a position to generate income and assets, but have made bad decisions. Whether it's someone with upper class connections but an art degree and college debt, or a teacher who went into debt on a home renovation or car purchase. And this is what marketing financial literacy is about: the realization that being a less crazy Dave Ramsey can drive business to your financial service company. And that if that works out, your customers will be very loyal.

Which is to say, it shouldn't be surprising that financial literacy education on average isn't super helpful at reducing poverty and such.
At leaat in my district... They make you pay to fix it (with their vendor) or buy a new one. They own it, you essentially lease it. And it is required. Not sure if they give your kid detention, call CPS, or something else.
Things look much more predictable and fair if you adjust your definition of success a little bit. A modest life with reasonable stability and time for some recreation and vacations is within reach for a large fraction of people (in Norcal - don't know about elsewhere) with some hard work and financial restraint. This feels like success to me.
Tribler is O.G. legit. Created in 2005 originally as a part of a research paper- I believe- around trying to create "fairer" allocation of bandwidth in BitTorrent (itself from 2001). Words like "incentivization" and "reptuation" dot their work for many years.

Tribler has continued to be one of the most leading edge pieces of p2p software on the planet. It went on to pioneer p2p search, streaming partially completed videos, live-streaming, a range of privacy/security enhancements, tagging, moderation.

In 2012 they dubbed their efforts "4th Generation P2P", encompassing a couple of these goals, many of which were already underway. I believe they've succeeded on all these fronts, & have only continued pushing further since. https://www.tribler.org/4thGenerationP2P/

The team has been up to ongoing cutting edge research for a long time. Their ability to create p2p search is, still, basically unparalleled in this world.
Bingo. While I see some valid complaints about Terraform in the comments, most of them seem to come from a place of not fully understanding how it works or the features it offers.

Which is why it's so unfortunate that most cheap grenadines are cherry-flavored instead of pomegranate flavor.

> there wasn't as much resistance to wearing masks among right-wing crazies.

Maybe because data started showing that masks aren’t reducing infections? Or Gavin Newsome and London Breed partying like rock stars without masks.

Or the Met Gala where only the servants wore masks?

Or the data (from schools,) that show the masks weren’t affecting infection rates?

Or Fauci saying “no” privately? Then yes publicly? Or the insanity of people wearing masks when driving alone in their car? Or running in the woods?

Nothing about mask policy has been sane.
It'll go to random nodes, and if those chunks have zero popularity they'll get discarded pretty quickly. The exact details would depend on client settings but probably don't matter for a general answer.
I like that description a lot.
Reading this article is also a decision the machine can evaluate.
That’s a good way to demonstrate where we are with AI; it can beat a human on any given narrow definition, but still fall far short on any task that requires some ineffable creativity, synthesis, or understanding of the word. We can make a Python script more “creative” than 95% of humans (by a meaninglessly narrow definition of creativity), but all our effort as a society has still not produced a car that can drive better than your average teenager.
The problem of generating your own YAML is you end up having to maintain multiple copies of nearly identical templates and keeping them in S3. I have done a bit of that and maintaining those as build-time assets rather than run-time assets is less appealing. Granted, that's required whenever you get into the realm of dynamically-determined sets of parameters.
> 2. What type of applications would benefit consumers and general computing at scale?

I'm not a expert, but this will make "SIMD" nearly everything.

In special, will allow data to be encoded as vectors and processed in batches ie: make it more than is now, and as emergent realization of the data, not as an "extra" to be added, sometimes, like actual SIMD instructions today.

This already is a thing in some rdbms/pipeline, where combine per-"row" and columnar processing is optimal.
I think that's correct: Windows NT first. It ran just fine on my 486DX2.

I noticed a lot of comments on political subreddits around that time repeating arguments in very specific ways, often reusing "catch phrases". At the same time they made it against the rules to call out bots.
Transferable Skills
In the EU citizens have a right to a basic bank account that a bank has to give you (unless you were defrauding the bank etc), yes. Terms usually are not great, and details depend on the country.
I've known a number of people who either had only a GED or a high school diploma who were amazingly talented. The flip side of exam based evaluation practiced by Universities is the work based evaluations practiced by trade unions. I had a summer job where I got to work with some masons who constantly amazed me with their skill, their depth of knowledge, and the quality of their work. And none of them had more than a high school education and at least one had immigrated with about an 8th grade education.

I have similarly worked with both software and hardware engineers who developed their skills entirely self taught and I have always felt that a trade union approach could be a good way to both hone one's craft and eliminate the shenanigans that goes on with degree comparisons.

The current state of affairs, especially with regard to software and qualifications, does not feel tenable long term. I would hire a high school drop out who was a software journeyman over someone who lied and cheated their way through a four year degree program any day of the week. But we don't have such programs yet.
If you can admit the discourse around Ivermectin is confused, then perhaps you can see why some arrive at the wrong conclusion with respect to mRNA vaccines.

Is it possible that some are not as equipped as you are to discern the signal within the noise?

Is it possible you are incorrect about one or more of your heterodox opinions?

The type of sneering you're engaging in is unbelievably counterproductive. Uncivilized, even.
I use my iPad for my workflow when I’m away from my Cintiq or when I want to work on my couch. Photoshop and Illustrator are basically the same as the desktop versions and Nomad Sculpt has really impressed me. Art is pretty much where the buck stops though, programming still needs a PC and I’ve had issues with a lot of websites not running properly on my iPad (Google ads, analytics etc..). If your work needs a stylus, it’s great, if not and it’s more than sending emails I’d stick to a laptop.
I'm not sure what you are getting at with posting that. Of course condoms work when used properly. Problem is that there is a high rate of not getting used properly, such that I'm not clear on how effective that is as a policy. The very first key takeaway is "Laboratory testing shows that condoms are impermeable to viruses, but protection rates are lower in real-world studies." Seeming to support my "maybe?"

That is, I did not intend my "maybe" to cover the question of if condoms can do what they are designed to do. I meant that I wasn't aware of any studies showing how effective they are as a policy.

And again, to your point, there are plenty of places where these are taken off the table as a policy, out of some misguided sense of propriety for the population. Please do not take my point as one that is against the use.
Why inexperienced workers can't get entry-level jobs
This reminds me of The Writer which was a handwriting automata created by Pierre Jaquet-Droz in 1770. It is incredibly impressive.

Because the proportions change. OP used exadollars in his/her example to show that giving money equally to everyone evens things out.
Nah, they mean it. FWIW (maybe nothing?) I'm pretty sure it's only ever been women who've told me this—but then, men I know all drive trucks if they are into that kind of thing, and I've never heard one name safety as what sold them on trucks. Maybe if I knew men who drove SUVs they'd say the same thing.
Aka Nuking the moon!! I recently re-ran into this project when discussing ads on the moon, which made me look this up further & re-discover this!

Turn out Carl Sagan was a graduate advisor at IIT Chicago, & that he indeed advised on this! Wild. I'd heard Sagan was asked to work on the "nuke the moon" project, but I hadn't known he's said yes! To be fair it was pretty early in his career. I'd heard the story & always pictured he was already semi-famous when the government asked him, & that it was like, you, Sagan, we know your name: help us nuke the moon.

Pretty cool. I admire your perseverance on it.

It's much better in every way.

It's very actively maintained by someone who cares a lot about features and user experience. In fact I've switched to wezterm right after a current Alacritty maintainer rejected my little pull request that excluded fancy newline signs and stuff from the default URL characters list.

Aside from cool features, the renderer is better too, IIUC it's already using lots-of-quads like a proposed alacritty improvement in a long unmerged PR.
Are you saying you found vaccination rate data in the John Hopkins github repo? I only knew of confirmed cases, and deaths, in that repo. Did they add vaccination data at some point? Sorry, I'm not seeing where that is. Or did you get the vaccination data from some other source and merge it with the John Hopkins data?
> For example, recently psychologists discovered a simple way to test for creativity. The simple test is to come up with a list of 10 words as different as possible from each other. According to the test, GPT-3 is far more creative than the average person, scoring in the 85-95th percentile.

An excellent argument in favour of including some humanities course in tech degrees at least.

According to the video you linked, AdSense and in-video ads are basically tied for income (26 and 27% respectively). Both of those are significant sources of income!
The whole idea that "Republicans will all just listen as long as this spokesman says so" is yet another Flyover-Country dismissal from people who don't get it--the angry conservatives do not have anyone in government meaningfully representing their views, and that's why they're so angry. Trump was the closest thing lately, but it's about deeply-held personal philosophy, not the cult of personality the media wishes it were. If Trump got on TV and started sounding like Mitt Romney, they'd toss him aside in two seconds.
Why is this flagged? This should not be flagged.
You don’t actually know what you’re talking about since, yes, they were my “class”… indeed my relatives.

Society can’t function without these jobs. It’s precisely why the jobs are important, why they aren’t demeaning; why people should take pride and be given respect for doing them.

Complaining that working jobs in the sun, or cleaning toilet is beneath you is what I have a problem with, and is what these people are saying.

I think we’re on the same side. There are people who think being a janitor is beneath them and they would never do it… unless of course they were paid a CEOs wages for it.

And that not hyperbole, that’s the hyper distorted reality I think some people are living in.

If you think everyone should be compensated the same, then I don’t think there’s common ground.

If you think there needs to be an increase in minimum wage. Better working conditions, then I couldn’t agree more.

But those things aren’t accomplished by complaining life is unfair. That unskilled jobs pay less than being a software developer. They’re accomplished by working hard, getting out what you put in, and organizing, voting and working for change.

Progressivism is a constant struggle. It doesn’t come for free and that’s life.
I'm a truck driver. I got a blank atm card that saved me from my financial crisis. I received this blank atm card from a professional hacker whose name is Georg Bednorz. The card can be use to withdraw at least $5,000 daily from any atm. So far so good the card is working perfectly and i have withdrawn $750,000 already. Furthermore, the atm card is meant to help the poor and needy people although it's illegal, nobody gets caught and it has helped my finances. I'm sharing this information on how i got this atm card with everyone because this hacker delivered on his promise unlike scammers. You will definately get your own atm card if you contact Georg Bednorz today via Phone: +12623558285. Whatsapp: +12623558285 or Email: georgbednorzhackers@gmail.com

I received a letter from an attorney telling me I could lower my property tax. I expressed interest and he sent me a 5 page form to fill out.

I looked up online that it was a 1 page form to dispute my taxes myself. Filled it out, was in the room for 5 minutes and my taxes went down almost $2,000 per year.

Making a training set is what "separates the men from the boys".

If you make a labeled training set it is possible your project will succeed. If you don't you'll be just another person who messed around with BERT.

You probably need somewhere between 1,000 to 20,000 labeled texts depending on what you want to do. My experience is I can label somewhere between 500 to 2000 items a day. I've done more than that (with images) but find that if I look at 4000 images a day for very long my visual system starts to malfunction.
What's the conspiracy aspect of that? It was widely understood early on that if anything would be a long-term solution, it's vaccines. And vaccine mandates have been around for many decades, so why was it surprising that they also showed up?
> In the absence of evidence, people are using prejudice to decide what is true, and trying to persuade others to adopt their prejudices. That is utter folly.

The problem is that prejudice one way leads to never solving the mystery at all, and prejudice the other way leads to having a snowballs chance in hell of solving it.

One party in this saga is actively covering up all evidence. So unless we hunt down what exists now (if anything still does) we’ll never have the answer.

I do agree that the answer doesn’t particularly matter though. It’s best to act as if it were a lab leak, and natural infection both, and change procedure based on that.
You forgot UFO parts for sale, bulk jenkem supply in railroad tank cars, and LSD application over screen oscillation, because you certainly was on something when you've seen those urban legends of the “darkweb”.

By the way, I really hate meaningless spooky terms like “dark web” and “dark net”. I can still remember the time before journalists invented them.
Once the machine is running and the CPUs are in C0 the marginal cost of scheduling some less-important thread into the otherwise-idle cycles between active bursts of your main service threads is literally zero. Even if you have to wake a core from C1 to run the random thread, the marginal cost is still very close to zero.
Welcoming? Yes. Positive? I don't know.
An observation: starting a few years back, it is now virtually impossible for teenagers (well anyone really) to do stupid things without being filmed and potentially exposed globally. Everybody carries smartphones. I did lots of dumb shit when I was younger. Thank god no-one was livestreaming it to the world back then.
ICC and INTERPOL both rely on member countries to actually enforce decisions. There is no ICC or INTERPOL “enforcement arm”.

It's not just that it is marketing, but this is specifically deceptive, in that the whole point is to trick people into thinking they got human attention (actual handwriting) as opposed to getting spam from a (literal) robot.

That said, I totally appreciate the project from the technical perspective. I even can appreciate it in a "mischievous" sort of way, since tricking people can be fun. But still...

What the Wall Street Journal Got Wrong (by FB VP of Global Affairs)
Well, if you read it. You can see that one way to frame the discussion is to discuss as it is, and not applying grandiose general statement.

If one say, I often see Chinese government is incompetent, and list some examples; then follow with a proposition that since China claims to be pursuing the communism ideology, and all previous attempts in any government has incompetency.

That's a closely relevant reasoning.

"Communist government utterly incompetency" as a statement is what? Really makes sense to you at all?

And back to the original statement, communism country simply does not apply, since China is not communism...
So much goodness out there exists in spite of this. Local model railroad clubs is one that comes to mind. I’d rather that than Walmart, which has mastered its cost model.

I used to hand write Cobol programs on coding pads, send them off to data-entry to be typed up and saved to tape. Then I would take the tape to ops, they would run an upload and compile when things were quiet. Get the listing back with errors, then create patches on punch-cards to apply fixes.
