The power of suggestion, maybe?

Honestly, I wonder how much of it isn't the effect of publicity affecting people's expectations? If you have two people giving the same performance who look similar but the audience for one goes in with the expectations of seeing a maestro perform and the other is just watching an unknown they would feel differently because they're carrying expectations with them that skew their view of the performance.

I don't want to go too far out on a limb and say this is definitely the case; I'm not in the industry. But I was wondering about the same subject (what makes a star's performance "riveting" even in something mediocre?) and that was the best answer that I could come up with.

I actually got the motivation to delete everything except what I need daily. I had more than 19000 e-books: more than 280GB. I've decided that I will now download a book or an article only if it is part of a larger project instead of junk collecting.

I can maybe see how that could potentially be confusing to a brand new visitor, but how is it shady? It's a clearly labeled link that does take you to components made with tailwind. Are they supposed to link to all the freeware out there first?
My amateur interpretation of this is that the vision algorithm briefly confused the yellow of the headlights of the oncoming car as the double yellow line in the road, which caused it to believe it was seriously out of lane. After verring, the algorithm reoriented, and realized an impact was imminent and diverted off the road.

I think what's interesting about this example is that in this case, an alert human driver would not be confused in this way. It shows issues with the particular machine learning approach to automated driving.
Ah, interesting. Is this related to the fact that there was a cap on the number of funded residencies? [0] Or maybe there was some other cap in the graduate medical education system between the '70s and the 90's... I have a vague recollection of reading something about this.

> No, it doesn't use 120W at the wall.

It literally says so in the Anandtech article.

> Apple under-reports power usage for some reason.

Again, citation needed. Mostly because these numbers aren't coming from Apple, but Anandtech.

> Sure, Apple runs at half the wattage of the 3080, with less than half of the performance.

But it is not half of the performance, that is a lie and the numbers are out there. Again, in the same article, the only downside is gaming, which runs under Rosetta 2.

> It is comparable to a 3060 in TDP and slower in all except specific, hardware-optimized workloads. There are other workloads that are accelerated in the 3060 where the inverse is true.

This is straight up false. Again, read the article you yourself linked.

> All of the benchmarks you linked are CPU bechmarks

Wow. So, rendering and manipulating video and photo are purely CPU benchmarks. Ridiculous.

I'm not going to continue with this. I find insane that you would willingly ignore simple arithmetics just to, I guess, bash Apple. I'm not the greatest Apple fan myself, but for sure I am open to reckon that they did extremely well with the M1 family, and that they have created a very good laptop for professionals.

You certainly do not need to have a phd in geometry and algebra for this. For example, the exp map is used all the time in robotics particularly in rigid body dynamics and kinematics.

Here is a free book made for undergraduates that teaches in that manner that just assumes some elementary linear algebra;
http://hades.mech.northwestern.edu/index.php/Modern_Robotics

IMHO, geometric algebra makes certain things clear, but it's also oversold as something new or novel. It can be recast in the language of differential forms (covariant multivectors) which is very often used in physics.
What about the drift in the Gregorian calendar? Solar day and tropical year do not have a least common multiple.

Earth's rotation is — arguably — better measured against the stars, so a sidereal day is more "correct", yet it would not map to our daily routine at all.

So I believe the question is not what is more "correct" (we've long established that we are dealing with approximations at best, Julian calendar included: it already had leap years), but what is more useful? And that's what has driven adoption of the Gregorian calendar in most of the world, but I am fine if somewhere it's more useful not to have to worry about did some days just disappear at some point in the past.

Keyword args practically require default values, I think? In any case, while this feature (like every feature) definitely delivers value, it's the considered position of the Go authors that this feature, over time, has a net negative impact on program maintainability.
I agree. For the last series of GoT I bought a month pass from a streaming service in the UK--"Now TV" or something--to watch it. It was a reasonable price, so I think they were successful there.

On the other hand, the last series was garbage.

Yes, I thought that CPI series were bullshit and to prove it I decided to start looking at ads in newspapers from many decades in the past. I thought that while technology has advanced, some things are the same as we've always had so I could just compare real advertised prices over the years.

Turns out that is not the case. Somehow a quality men's overcoat used be comperable in cost to a piece of land on the west coast that is now worth tens of millions of dollars ( and has been for decades now) When you consider where that coat came from then and what it took to get it to where it was offered vs what the practical value of that land was at that location and time... trying to compare prices of things over 50 years is like trying to compare the minutia of two different worlds you don't understand. It's impossible to cleanly bucket like for like over time when the price depends so much on "this level of thing, at this place and at this time" just as it's impossible to centrally replace the "invisible hand" in setting prices now. It's super complex to reverse engineer in hindsight why the relative prices of things were as they were at some point in the past.

Not saying that government stats don't cheat. I think they do because they have motive to do so. But I fully agree that the task of creating a useful price index over a long period of time, even a short few decades, is far from a simple problem. Anyone who doesn't agree: please go try to make one.

Ordinary cars are a strongly depreciating asset. However, above a certain level this stops being true. I had the fortune to buy, use and subsequently sell a number of higher end cars (Ferrari, Lamborghini) and I made little to no loss on any of them. In fact, the Ferrari 458, which to this day I consider the best supercar to drive, appreciated during the year or so I had it.
I am not aware of the reason they went to such a high-complexity setup. They could have simply added a 4 or 6 digit hex code prefix to the IP addresses and figured a way to geographically lock that code.

Sure, that wouldn't give you the 340 trillion trillion trillion IPv6 addresses, but it would have turned 4,294,967,296 IPv4 addresses into 281,474,976,710,656 ipv? addresses and been easy enough to remember that on your local "block" you use idk, "AF09" as the prefix or whatever, and every person on the planet would have about 35 ip addresses (or ~9,000 with a 6 digit prefix) available to them on the new setup not even accounting for NAT
Even then, I think the point would still hold.

I haven't seen anyone comparing that to the previous YoY index rise 2019-2020 of just 1.4%, the least in last 10 years (of also very subdued inflation).

When you average those two out (cagr), that's 4%. Nothing to sneeze at, but still a lot less.
> Do we still have anything like this?

There are multi-generational scientific experiments e.g. the pitch drop or (hopefully) LTEE.

Most significant archeological sites are multi-generational as well though I don’t know if we can describe them as a single work.

One thing that’ll be interesting if we actually manage more than one generation is the software projects, the early luminaries have been passing for a while, the early architects of still extant software projects are going to start retiring or (sadly) passing en masse pretty soon.

I don’t look forward to the obituary of donald knuth but I do wonder how tex and metafont will carry on.
IANAL But AFAIK in civilised jurisdictions if I offer a service for money, and you offer money, I must offer the service.

> The clever thing about interferometers is that they're actually measuring space and time in two different dimensions concurrently

I would say that we measure space in two different directions concurrently.

> and then looking for changes in the interference pattern between light moving along each of the dimensions

This is true, but I like to push back against the use of the phrase "interference pattern." We're not looking at a "pattern", which to me brings to mind a complicated interference pattern resolved spatially. We do not resolve the "interference pattern" spatially. We measure the amplitude (er, power) of the light coming out of the interferometer with a photodiode (a single pixel, if you will.)

> In practice, gravitational waves will come from all sorts of weird angles, but they will distort each of the two dimensions differently

This is true. The detector's sensitivity to waves coming from different directions is the "antenna pattern."

> t they will distort each of the two dimensions differently and allow us to figure what direction they were propagating by the interference pattern that's observed.

With a single detector, we cannot determine the direction in which a g.w. is propagating. With a single detector and a transient (short-lived) source, we cannot tell the difference between a loud source in a direction where the detector is not very sensitive versus a quieter source in a direction where we have good sensitivity.

With a network of detectors and/or signals that persist for a long time (compared to the rotation of the earth, etc) we can resolve the source direction.

I don't know why that is but it is clearly not because they are tolerant of criminal behavior. If the US is more tolerant of criminal behavior wouldn't they have a lower incarceration rate than Japan? If a higher incarceration rate lead to less crime wouldn't the US have less crime than Japan? Clearly our high incarceration rate hasn't fixed criminal behavior. Instead we should look at Japan and other countries with low crime rates to see what they do.
yeah, it sounds like we interpreted "whitewash the staggering amount of wealth and power is held by American oligarchs" in different ways.

I don't know how to reconcile your interpretation with the idea that someone should feel guilty for having a higher dollar income but the same PPP income as someone else.
I don't know that this solves their problem though. Even with the in-browser JIT, there is no class for the browser to autocomplete. One nice benefit of the old compiler, was every single class was available with autocomplete in devtools. Granted, if you already know the class you want to tweak and can guess the next correct step in the scale, it's fine, but for new code you're writing for the first time, I can see their argument.

The article mentions that Tyler makes $300k per year in merchandise alone (so excluding any actual sponsored content). Frankly I don't get why this can't be seen as a legitimate very successful business. Where is the line? Is entertainment only valid on TV? YouTube?

Some commenters here even said that it's all good now but that it won't work in his thirties or something as if there aren't a ton of jobs out there that feed on young blood that won't be able to keep up later in life.

I completely agree with you, this kind of "this is not a real job" attitude really comes off as people upset that they can't be millionaires at their job.

EDIT: A lot of the comments point out that most people on Twitch/YouTube/OnlyFans don't make money and would be better off getting a "real job". I am not trying to argue against that or say that Twitch is a good job prospect. My point is that if they do succeed in that niche, trying to segment money-making endeavour between "real jobs" and "just a kid playing video games" seems very vain to me. Tyler is making millions providing entertainment, to me that is very much a real job.

I'm not sure about this pedagogical argument, since among various pedagogical pathways for any particular math subject, students are generally only aware of the path they took.

And that's all before we try to figure out "generalisation".

They allow to stay with CSS within CSS layer so no leakage to HTML or JS.

> >> you would also lower admin costs.
> Not clear that this is true or why it would happen.

There is an operational tax whenever you involve more people into the operation. You need to communicate, add paper trails, set up structure, etc. If say, you had one person collecting payments instead of a secretary, a doctor writing a paper, an insurance biller, an insurance agent, etc for the same ops, it would be a lot easier. You would have doctors perform many of these tasks. For example, give vaccinations, take vitals, etc.

> Medical school debt may be high, but salaries are higher. Certifications are not likely a large obstacle to more entry, IMO.

Thats the survivorship bias. Salaries cant be lower because people would go bankrupt. Certifications reduce competition, and make it harder to practice. There's even a startup that Raised a series A of multiple millions just to make this process faster (medallion). Evidence this affects the market is that most doctors are only licensed in a couple of states at most.

> There are plenty of “tort reform” states that cap malpractice payouts. Medical services are not cheaper there.

I'd like to see some data about this if you have it. Conceptually malpractice insurance is a fix cost that puts downward pressure on supply. IT is particularly salient for physicians that would like to work part-time.

> Source needed on this claim. Might be true. I’m skeptical though. High relative to what?

https://www.webmd.com/mental-health/news/20180508/doctors-su.... This is a well known fact in the profession.

>> In the book " The Social Transformation of American Medicine" they talk a lot about how hospitals rent-seeking behavior is to turn themselves as a non-profit, and then ask for federal funding and getting that denied to for-profit hospitals, effectively capping the amount of hospitals you can open.

> Certificate of need laws are state, not federal.

The point above is that by making it impossible for for-profit hospitals to compete due to lack of subsidies, the supply is deliberately constrained.

Not a real job is a quite good stance to take. Because there is an absurd power law at play here, the absolute top make a lot of money. In a "real job" you are paid a living wage, on twitch you are paid scraps if you don't make it to the top.
What's bad about inflation is that it really hurts people on fixed income and the poor.

Fixed income (i.e. retired people) because their stack of savings buys less.

The poor because if you can't afford new tires at $600, you're surely not going to be able to afford them at $800.

Politicians need to be very careful with inflationary decisions.

I think you deeply underestimate the influence of the corporate media in influencing the opinions of the masses.

I guess it depends on what they meant by "techland".

I think companies who are tech companies or where tech is central to the product tend to attract good tech leaders who treat their teams well.

But at companies where tech is seen as a secondary to the product tech employees are sometimes treated poorly, with things like overwork/abuse of agile processes to extract more work out of developers, unsustainable on-call rotations, unreasonable support response expectations, understaffed teams, restricted budgets, inadequate equipment like super cheap budget laptops, etc.

Sure they might add a foosball table and buy a pizza once in a while, but by and large many companies don't treated tech especially well. I'm not sure if it is a lack of respect (some companies see developers as a pluggable commodity) or resentment for having to pay them more than they think they should have to.

I guess it depends on where you live, but some cities just don't have a lot of pure tech companies, so you are stuck with places like these.
