Agreed. Little GUI utilities that I'm likely to only use for a few minutes every now and then can be Electron. Doesn't bother me a bit.

If it's something I run frequently for short spans (a calculator, a search-to-launch tool, that kind of thing) or leave open for long stretches of time (so, messengers, most kinds of document or text editors editors, anything that lives in the system tray) then it's outside that narrow sweet spot in which Electron doesn't suck.

No, I'm not saying to have the facets in the index. I'm saying to parse the search text for facets, and to search on the facets.

If the whole string matches facets, then the full text search never gets touched, as in the example above. But if the example were e.g. "blue anime t-shirt" then you could facet on "blue" and "t-shirt" while FTS only has to contend with "anime".

I agree with your reasoning but it assumes facts not in evidence.
I think of civilians organizing in the face of disaster -- like the Cajun Navy after Katrina:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cajun_Navy

Or the anarchist collectives during the Spanish Civil War.

or the mutual aid org, Common Ground Collective, formed after Katrina:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mutual_aid_%28organization_the...

but 'self organizing' is, to me....a bit of a fairy tale for children, not reality for adults. everything is on a sliding scale. like, if a former state senator organizes the first core part of the Cajan Navy, does that make it 'self organizing'? and, does it matter?

as for Agile and 'self organizing', i don't think anyone actually takes it seriously. people, bosses/managers, instructors, web pages, videos, CIOs maybe -- they might seem to be taking it seriously, or even claim to take it seriously, but about that most charitable way i could look at that is...it's just self-delusion, it's difficult to help or make people understand something when their salary depends on them not understanding it, etc.

or as commenter 'ah88' mentions, if you have a team already -- they can 'self organize' when presented with some problem/mandate -- i'm guessing that was the core part of the spirit of this agile principle of 'self organization', even if it was never going to be possible for most of the corporate world.
Same here - I have had issues with the other mentioned softwares but rarely with etcher. (I have had cards be seemingly broken and fail to image - I don’t think etcher was to blame. )
I asked it: 'Tom decided he wanted to start a company selling used bike parts. He named it '

it said: 'Bicycle Parts Exchange'

Tried again with 'used lawnmower parts' and it said 'Green Thumb'

used diapers: 'Diapers.com'

May not understand chemistry but it's still pretty cool
What is the/is there any reproducible measurement for benchmarking a nlp dataset/application. i.e. in paper it mentions:

'Comparing T0 and GPT-3’s robustness Because Brown et al. (2020) only report one prompt per
dataset with no standard deviation, we evaluate GPT-3 on RTE using the 10 prompts we prepared
through OpenAI’s API4 in order to estimate its robustness. Note that one of our templates is identical
to Brown et al. (2020, p. 59)’s reported prompt; this prompt scores 58.8% accuracy on the API
“Base” series which is lower than the reported accuracy of 63.5% from Brown et al. (2020). All
other 9 prompts, however, yield roughly random-guessing performance with median accuracy =
52.96% and interquartile range = 1.28%. These results suggest that T0 is more robust to prompt
formulation than GPT-3.'
What's the difference? Answering a question can be considered "autocomplete".
Potentially dumb question: once you own a certain percentage of public stock of a company, do they start contacting you for board meetings or decision-making of any kind? I think I understand your comment, but I'm curious what real-world examples of this look like.

Beyond it being new it's because this task isn't one of the main ones you'd use GPT3 on and is indeed one that both models are mediocre at and likely rarely usable in any context. The title is just a tad misleading.*

Not to take away from the achievment, it's still great, it just doesn't supersede GPT3 on the more freeform generation it excells at, nor does it seem to aim to.

* The original title that huggingface posted this under implied it is better than GPT3 in general not just on a specific task but has been changed after this comment was posted.

If you are trading in a driveable car, it doesn't get discarded but sold on the used cars market. In general, the alternative to buying an electric vehicle usually is buying a non-electric vehicle. So it should be evaluated on that base.
I assure you that people would happily trade paying some taxes for owning any assets whatsoever.
That's because of the covid downturn, though. A ton of people saw a rapid shortfall in income, but it's was (as the article calls out) transitory. It doesn't reflect what we saw in 2019 or will see this year. Questions about wealth distribution are, by definition, not transitory.
So it is the most dangerous kind of useless.

> That's a rare career for ANY American, let alone a black one.

I had to do an image search of him because until now, I didn't think of him as "black". He's certainly mixed race, which would make him black and white. Is it usual in USA to call people black if they kinda look black?

Edit: according to Wikipedia, his ancestry is mixed Scottish and African, parents immigrants from Jamaica. He was raised in South Bronx, so he's culturally black even if he doesn't look that black.
Depends on the baby.
From the article:

The bottom 90% of Americans held about 11% of stocks, and added $1.2 trillion in wealth during the Covid-19 pandemic.

The top 10% saw the value of their stocks gain 43% between January 2020 and June of 2021, according to the Fed. The bottom 90% saw stock wealth rise at a lower rate — 33%.

Exactly. You don't burn lithium into the atmosphere. Even depleted cells still have all the lithium they were created with.

The process of getting lithium out of depleted cells and ready for new cells is a rapidly scaling industry at the moment.
Huh? Are you concerned that the government is being ripped off when they pay for the shot?
The rest of us? If you earn more than $201K you're in the top 10%[1]. I wonder what percentage of HN earns more than that.

The site also says 33% earn more than $100K. I guess the majority of the leftover 11% is owned by the people in the 10%-33% bracket.

It's crazy how many people don't get the IPFS/Dweb.

It's like the invention of personal computers. It's going to change everything like the shift from time share department computers did. Imagine what programmers could do if YouTube size infrastructure was free for every developer. IPFS is just the boring protocol the enables the next internet of stuff. The stuff that comes out in the next 20 years will be crazy.
I think that depends on the use of the technology in question. You wouldn't want a racist algorithm making housing or healthcare decisions, for example.
We have a fantastic health plan, and my wife had to wait four months, here, in the US, for an important, but not urgent surgery.

The clinic then fucked up billing, overcharged us, and it took another few months for all of this to get sorted out.

The first part of this story isn't too different from the Canadian[1] system, the second is a pile of unnecessary stress added on top.

Between mine and my employer's share, our 2-adult health insurance costs ~$15,000/year, by the way. And what do we get for it? Months long waitlists and clowns that can't even get billing right the first few times.

This may indeed be the Rolls Royce of healthcare, in the sense that it costs a mountain of money, finds expensive ways to break down all the time, and spends half its time in the shop.

[1] Actually, each province in Canada is responsible for running a provincial healthcare system.
Haha, keep going. It's not even the leaders of said corporations. They report to the Board of Directors and they in turn report to the investors.

The wealthy who own large portions of the controlling interest in these companies are sometimes the visible leaders of said corporations, but many of them live out of the limelight and control the rest of us with puppet strings.
Running the model multiple times doesn't reinforce the model. In general, you should not anthropomorphize algorithms as human cognition does not give any bearing on how algorithms work.

How are stocks not a limited resource? I know companies occasionally issue new stock to rise capital for new business ventures but that doesn’t happen that often no?

Tether is pretty notorious for not being audited. And for repeatedly having auditors look at their accounts then run for the hills.

Sure. I believe I understand your explanation and appreciate it. It's possible for their core service to be rock solid and their marketing side to be of lesser priority and so not to receive the thought and resources of their core service. It makes sense.

Still, were I to be responsible for evaluating competing services, such choices would definitely be a ding. Not unrecoverable, but it would make me wonder unnecessarily about their corporate culture and customer care. All things being equal, I think it would be wise to go with the service that didn't do that.
"Template meta-programming" and "templates" are very different. Further, the style guide says "avoid" but does not forbid it. Clang-Tidy doesn't throw up any warnings when using things like std::enable_if.

My codebase overlaps with the majority of your tenure at Google. We are in google3.

I do agree with the guidance that things like SFINAE should be avoided in general, but I believe you've way overstated the rigidity of the guidance.
So I read the article, and maybe I'm thick... but what does `=delete` mean? I saw a bunch of examples about how it will trigger errors with l/rvalues in some scenario, but I'm really no clear on the meaning of it.

Would someone mind explaining the meaning? Is it some sort of lifetime opt-in thing? Is it restricting how a method can be called? What's going on here? What is `=delete` telling the compiler?
> Stocks are not a limited scarce resource so it’s not like the top are hoarding them.

Securities are by definition limited. Splits and IPOs are the only places stocks are born, and those are carefully regulated.

And... while the language is inflammatory, it seems to me like the top are meeting the definition of "hoarding" them. That's what owning 89% of something means.
From what I can remember, the notable exception was Knight Ridder¹ who drew a lot of flak for investigating the fabricated stories being used to justify attacking Iraq.

In Ireland, the major media outlets accepted (mostly, uncritically) the claims of the neo-cons (I don’t remember them treating seriously the reports of UN weapons inspectors who were actually on the ground in Iraq). The only dissenting voice I remember in the mainstream media was Robert Fisk, writing for the British Independent.

> More over, propaganda has made them expect worse coverage from any alternatives.

Is it propoganda or lived experience? Everytime someone has come around saying they're going to fix my health insurance for me, it's ended up costing me more for the same service as before.

Come to think of it, I've yet to have an increase in positive experiences concerning my health insurance. Every doctor's visit feels like a new surprise lurking in the dark.
It's a language model. It assigns probabilities to tokens in a sequence. You give it a number of options and it responds with the one that it assigns the highest probability to. If there's nothing in the options you give it that makes sense in the context of your test phrase, then it will return something that doesn't make sense. If some of your options make sense, it might return something that makes sense, or not.

So if you put it in a situation where nothing it outputs makes sense (to you) then none of its output will make sense. But that's not fair to the poor model.
Woah woah, are you questioning science? AI research is a serious field and they're doing the best they can. The risks definitely outweigh the benefits. /s
That's almost never what people arguing for government intervention in healthcare pricing actually want. They want an affordable price at the point of sale to the patient while the government uses tax dollars to and fees collected at the pharmacy to smooth out prices and have standing buy orders so that medications are always available to people that need them.

i.e. don't let the supply chains fall over and provide "insurance" for everyone.

This really isn't that crazy in the grand scheme of things. The US right now today does basically this with dairy products.

I'm always amazed by how much variation there is in weather reporting apps. Next time you're in a circle of friends, have each person say what their phone says the weather will be tomorrow. Some people will be using the default apps, some will be using the NOAA.gov data, some will be using detailed hour-by-hour data in a paid app. And it will all say something slightly different. And each person will swear by their app being the most accurate.
Who do you think pays that inflated price? Medicare and government.
It is the same as gov backed student loans. It inflates price to sky high prices.

It doesn't if you tax capital gains properly. It's more important to speak of relative ownership as that reflects the change in power held by the 90% majority of Americans - it's vanishing before your eyes.
Yes, but probably due to increasing development and population increases... It's to be expected, as the region wasn't meant to support all the new people and companies watering their new lawns, cooling data centers, and people taking baths and washing their Ferraris.

Climate change is indeed real, but exaggeration about it's effects only drives profit up, fear often creates apathy and fatigue, rather than encouraging positive change in identifying and adjusting the root causes of the issue.
One other possibly related point is "free healthcare" (as well as free tuition) are "perks" of enlisting in the military. Take away those and I wonder what the recruitment rate would look like.
I assume this is through mutual funds and ETF's? I would think it riskier to actually own the stock directly unless this headline is biased by the founders of the key NASDAQ stocks owning 80% of the 89% (by value) by dint of being founders...

FDA production approval for a drug is expensive. If a competitor pays and gets a new line approved, the prize is zero, because of competition from the other line. If no competitor pays the prize is almost unlimited, because of no competition.

The government or a charity should fund another line, and should in general provide incentives to companies to not shut down existing approved lines if it would leave only one company standing.

It's good that you bring this up, because it's exactly the sort of thing I wanted to discuss. Why do we feel comfortable letting machine learning screen resumes? Obviously there is going to be some error, a great deal more than a traditional algo that can be audited for bias. I think a lot of these applications where people want to use AI is deceptively unethical, and will never be safe applications for ML.
This is deeper level of stupid. They take data, then throw in random junk and claim there is no signal in data.

When you look at each continent separately, then there is clear pattern except in Africa. It is sad but expected. There are also 3 clear and explainable outliers: Israel, Mongolia and Malaysia. Take them out and Asia has also clear signal.
Don't be discouraged! Using your own machine might be painful, but in the meantime https://web3.storage should give you long-term storage for free. It's built on top of Estuary, and the only reason why data isn't said to be kept "forever" is because forever is a long time, and life doesn't give guarantees, but data will persist as long as possible, and notices will be sent out of the service is ever terminated to the best of the team's ability.

I look at web3.storage type services as an excellent resource into getting your data on IPFS/Filecoin for free, without needing to work with the current intimidating situation which is lotus. I'm fairly sure work is going in to make it easier to monetize your free space, but I'm not as deep in the Filecoin teams, and I'm not 100% sure what the work on that front looks like right now. Lotus is really only needed if you want to store other people's data as I understand it.

On the whole, Airbnb is a parasite. Those "off the beaten track" places we're talking about (where, again, legitimate hotels, hostels and homestays are typically available as well) almost certainly account for a very small part of Airbnb's listings, bookings and revenue.

The high-volume locations (think cities like Barcelona and Amsterdam) have experienced significant damage as a result of Airbnb.
