I am in a similar situation, except the country where I come from usually makes it to the top 5-10. I have been surprised by how poor the coverage of the Olympics is here in the US: only sports where the US have a change of medals, don't bother to show the finale if the American contestant(s) has been eliminated in the semi, constant ad breaks and ad integrations. Almost unwatchable. And so antithetic to what the idea of the Olympics should be: bringing nations together and competing for the beauty of the sport and of the performances of the athletes. Coubertin, who founded the Olympic Committee said "L'important, c'est de participer" (roughly: "the important thing is to participate")
Surely if your discrimintator gets orders of magnitude better like your describing, we could train the transformer GAN style, and reduce the dependence on generating so many examples to throw away.
The interesting thing to me is how magical Stadia is, it just works. Regular 4K uninterrupted streaming at peak hours ($19 discounted cyberpunk playthrough). Could pipe 80gb down my device’s gullet in a few hours without a sweat.

Xbox cloud feels like something from 2009 in comparison, ~720p/1080 max, long queues. Blurry, cloudy, artifacty rendering (and millions more users).

And yet, since finishing cyberpunk I barely touch Stadia. I can’t justify paying another discount, let alone full price and there’s 0 selection aside from Destiny 2 (which also looks and feels magnificent).

It’s like if Netflix had no catalog, didn’t invest in its own production, and ended up white labeling it’s shit out to the Hulus and Paramounts of the world. It’s all about the content.
Fwiw in hindsight it appears that structural regulation like Glass-Steagal is what stabilizes the banking system.

Separating banking, investment banking, and insurance into separate legal entities and preventing the banks from consolidating into mega-banks prevented another a Great Depression for ~70years. Then roughly 8yrs after we repealed all that, we unsurprisingly had another Great Depression level financial crisis.

The Fed’s lending support, along with govt stimulus, prevented the actual depression from happening, so you could argue that the Central Bank does have some impact on banking system stability. But it was only necessary because we removed the structural regulation that had maintained a stable banking system for over half a century.
Yeah sterile technique has to be meticulous in shunt cases. There’s evidence that the number of people scrubbed into the case influences the shunt infection rate so students like me occasionally would not be permitted to scrub.
While air purifiers are a great idea I just want to put a warning out there about the current state of air monitors.

The current summary is that most of them are wildly inaccurate with false positives and you might just be better off checking your outdoor air quality from the EPA using their app.

Would love for someone to provide a better recommendation.

No one at social events at all. South East / London.

It’s actually quite pleasant these days. Less nicotine all over stuff.
Does anyone know any open source library that provides this feature as a widget for a web app?

I’d love to use Rails active storage + S3 to allow users to have a “mini Dropbox” inside my web App; the only one I could find that was nice enough was CKFinder, but it’s not open source and it’s tied to a Java or PHP backend as well.

Former Reuters COO is on the board of Pfizer. J&J is a vaccine competitor of Pfizer. To a reasonable person, this might be something of interest.
Your reply reads like a depressing commentary on the state of our society. I don't agree that we will see a time when police are targeted in their homes and if that ever happens it is likely to be a rare event.

I agree with the part about our political mechanisms since so much of the process of making things work for everyone will require political action and compromises that are likely several years, though hopefully not generations, away.

The first sentence of the last paragraph has likely always been true of any town or city. Then historically, townspeople who desire a stable existence with a rigid set of rules that apply to everyone will seek to install a lawman or peacekeeper. That lawman will be given responsibility for instilling order, enforcing the law, and detaining those engaging in criminal behavior so that the justice system can be used to determine their guilt or innocence and prescribe an appropriate penalty.

Crime in one form or another has been a part of human existence for too many generations to count. Societies have their own mores and define their own set of behaviors that they endorse and that they will sanction.

I see targeting police as a really stupid, monumentally bad move since they are the only ones who can reliably identify the bad actors in their midst. Doing stupid shit like that will only close their ranks and put a target on every law-abiding citizen's back as police become more paranoid than they already have been trained to be.

We should incentivize the reporting of criminal behavior by law enforcement officers and work to open everything to public scrutiny. I don't know what that looks like technologically speaking but there should be tools in place to allow officers to report criminal behavior and the use of those tools should protect the officer reporting the crime since their own life may be at risk.

No matter how much your local police suck, handing out lollipops to reward good cops will never be enough. We need tools that are easy to use, that satisfy the needs of the criminal justice system and enable effective prosecutions. The price of or penalty for non-compliance should be high enough that reporting is incentivized more than the current system of internal whitewashings or cover-ups.
I can’t speak to that specifically, but they do help remove cooking smells.
> The population discrepancy between States is much higher now than when the country was founded.

This is exactly why the Senate was designed this way.

> Nor do the reasons the founders did it this way exist anymore.

Federalism still exists even if you don’t see it.
I agree. The talking dog analogy deflates those claims while still pointing out what is unique and worth following up on about the results.

Meanwhile, the chorus of "look this AI still makes dumb mistakes and is not AGI" takes has gotten louder in many circles than the marketing drumbeat. It risks drowning out actual progress and persuading sensitive researchers to ignore meaningful ML results, which will result in a less representative ML community going forward.
I wonder how often these things actually work. At this point officials must get so many texts that they can't possibly be reading them and they know they're highly liable to be automated rather than necessarily representing real actors.
It's made by Ghost Town Games and published by T17, but I think they helped out with the development for Overcooked 2.
> The absolute risk reduction (ARR) for the covid Vaccine is something like 1%

I'd imagine this value is much higher if you're old, fat, and/or have relevant comorbidities. This also means the value is much lower for nearly everyone else.

Which is what makes the mandates so head scratching. There's some handwaving about reducing transmission but the real world evidence for that is pretty shaky.
Try questioning everything you [mostly unconsciously] believe. This is how do you behave in particular age/status - why? This is what happens when you die - why? Stop believing anything (except that you should generally avoid hurting other people) and have fun. Life is just a role playing game with cool gfx, massive lore and unbalanced mechanics - beat the hell of fun out of it and stop believing you know what's there after it ends. Being lost means having wrong beliefs. We don't know the true but we can give up the wrong (even the whole scientific view is wrong as a belief - it's just a practical picture, the foundation of real science is knowing no theory will stand forever) and face the world with curiosity and awe.
I added a couple recommendations.
US TV ruined it. It's entirely different coverage in at least europe, none of this editorializing, profiles, etc etc. Just coverage.

I liken it to something Jonathan Demme (paraphrasing, maybe misattributing) said about Stop Making Sense - "concert films like to show the audience having fun, but our feeling is it limits/detracts from the experience" (stop making sense shows the audience very very little in its runtime)

So, to me, this carries over in the US coverage - they make all the decisions about how I should feel about every part, rather than letting the viewer come up with their own experience.
Postgres, you learn so much from the error messages.

Many people on HN claim that the rise of crypto-currencies is a social catastrophe.

Maybe so (I disagree), but wait until central-bank issued digital currencies become a reality, you'll very quickly learn the real meaning of social catastrophe.

Spending 10 seconds thinking about it, I can come up with the following scenarios:

- complete and utter "financial deplatforming" if you don't behave as a citizen. This is basically China's CCP dream come true.

- total loss of privacy: the absolute entirety of your financial interactions are an open book to the government. You won't be able to buy a pack of gums without big brother knowing about it, much less paying for your sex toys.

- security nightmare : how do you guarantee the soundness of such a system when it is centralized. Just ask Sony how long they manage to keep their private keys secret on average.

- security nightmare : preventing the leakage of citizen's private financial information. If the chain is public, there is none. If it is kept under lock and key by the govt: 1) no way to check what the actual supply is 2) subject to hackage and publishing the data publicly. Knowing the track records of governmental institutions when it comes to IT security, this is basically a guaranteed fuck-up within the first 5 years of such a system existing.

- economic nightmare: running the printing press full steam is now instantaneous and gives the government even more unchecked power to spend money on brain-dead programs, without leaving any decision-making power to the citizens.

I don't think we will avoid the implementation of such an abomination, but I do believe that - like in everything political - if there's healthy competition from decentralized chains such as Bitcoin, the craziness will be kept in check because there will be an escape hatch to the govt. economic jail.
Sounds like the problem here is gerrymandering not the Senate.
All the profits to them, all the risk to us. I'm sure Pharma companies are loving that arrangement.

It's much easier to bribe a politician than make a new product that actually works when development costs hundreds of millions. We don't want politicians to turn pill pushers with kickback schemes for things that barely work.

How does the saying go ... "Don't invite the devil in"
Lots of good advice here. I would add this: Actively cultivate a relationship with yourself.

I find daily journaling rewarding - just venting on paper or into a voice recording app. After a few days/weeks/months of this, go back and look at highs and lows, repeated themes, energizing things vs taxing things. Why are you here and what is important to you, where do you get joy and energy, what kills your soul? This is one method for getting those answers.

Another method: as you live through your week, Monday through Sunday, hour by hour, record what you do with each hour. Then, look at that picture. Just the act of observing will be a teacher.

You already likely know this all of this, and just need reminding. Best of luck and happy to talk more over email. I’m turning 50 this year and have the same list of thoughts you mention hm… maybe once every three weeks. They don’t go away, but through the work I’ve done on myself, I know how much energy to give them.
Sport should not intersect with politics.
For you it obviously does (why do you even care about democracy or authoritarism in regards to Olympics?).
And this is widespread now, and this is the root of the issue.
It makes your post come off as an ad for this foundation that 99.9% of people don’t care about and that has nothing to do with the topic being discussed; it’s as if I inserted [DRINK MORE COCA-COLA] into random parts of my comment.

Yes, distracting from your main point by intentionally attracting attention to something completely unrelated is bad.
> Teachers unions don't exist to help students, they don't exist to help those who might want to become teachers, they exist to help entrenched teachers maximize the amount of money they pull out of the state.

This isn't true at all. I know of teacher unions (that my family members belong to) that have refused deals because they weren't fair to their younger members. My local teacher's union refused a deal that wouldn't have applied to substitute teachers. Just because California has an entrenched entitled boomer problem doesn't mean all unions are bad. You're using one of the worst examples in the country to generalize unions with.
If you're dealing with a spaghetti of microservies, and each throws its own kind of error objects and messages, while also passing them to upstream services, you're essentially playing a game of broken telephone with your error messages.
Yeah, home workout equipment can be surprisingly cheap but useful, especially if you can't or won't go to the gym.
Problem is that I tend to just stop using my pullup bar, exercise mat etc. sometimes. I don't even realize it's been a few day without me touching them
The US has diplomatically boycotted the Olympics this year. That doesn't have anything to do with NBC - they have a first amendment right to cover the Olympics.

You're assuming there's some sneaky stuff going on with the State Department pulling the strings, but in this case the simplest explanation seems more likely - NBC recognizes the strong anti-China sentiment around human rights abuses in the viewing public, so they know that catering to that sentiment will be best from a business perspective.
Most shared web hosting already runs PHP, but anything newer like Node or Go won't generally work unless you have a more expensive hosting plan or cloud offering.
Do a lot of cardio exercise, every day; at least 30 minutes. Do it for a month (every day!) and then see how you feel. Often I believe our underlying physiology is the real driver of sentiments which we attribute to conceptual things. Being intelligent, it's easy to fall into the trap of thinking that you can think your way out of anything. Sometimes thinking isn't the answer at all.

Just my 2c.
Money talks. The Olympics are often used as a form of gaining geopolitical goodwill and laundering money through extraordinary inflation of costs. Both the Beijing(2008) and Sochi(2014) Olympics cost north of 45 billion dollars. In comparison the Olympics in Turin and Vancouver were 4.5 and 7.6. Some of cost differences can be explained by population differences, but not by a factor of 10x.
Yes. It’s much, much cheaper to carry power with you rather than electrify hundreds of thousands of miles of rail.
A few alternatives have already been mentioned here; yet another one: https://larsjung.de/h5ai/
No, Im not okay with risking killing people. I was clear that i believe human life > property. Im ok with damaging empty police stations though.

>You're not seeking justice

You're placing a higher value on property than on human (black) life.
Good one: we eat to live to reproduce more who will eat to live to reproduce.

Merely 100 billion neurons; but the real computational compartment is the synapse and its dendritic pond. That gets you up to 10 trillion miniature analog circuits operating “concurrently” in a human brain.

But all almost miraculously running without a base oscillator for para-synchrony of compute. Figure that one out and we can then start talking about general AI and simulating Neo all over again again.
I'm trying, but I don't see it at all with these examples.

1) just seemed like random pressing until the dog pressed "paw", then the owner repeated loudly "something in your paw?" The dog presented its paw, then the owner decided "hurt" "stranger" "paw" was some sort of splinter she found there. The dog wasn't even limping.

2) I didn't get any sense of the presses relating to anything the dog was doing, and since the owner was repeating loudly the thing she wanted the dog to find, I was a bit surprised. Then the dog presses "sound," the owner connects this with a sound I can't hear, then they go outside to look for something I can't see.

Billie the Cat: I simply saw no connection between the button presses and anything the cat did. The cat pressed "outside" but didn't want to go outside. The cat presses "ouch noise" and the owner asks if a sound I didn't hear hurt her ears. Then the cat presses "pets" and the owner asks if the cat wants a pet? The cat presses "noise" and the owner continues the monologue apologizing for the painful noise and offering to buy her cat a pet. Sorry to recount most of the thing, but I don't get it at all.

-----

Not trying to debunk talking pets, but I'm not seeing anything here. I at least expected the dog to be smart enough to press particular buttons for particular things, but I suspect the buttons are too close together for it to reliably distinguish them from each other. I'd be pretty easy to convince that you could teach a dog to press a button to go outside, a different button when they wanted a treat, and a different button when they wanted their belly rubbed. In fact I'd be tough to convince that you couldn't teach a dog to do that. Whatever's being claimed here, however, I'm not seeing.

-----

edit: to add a little more, I'm not even sure that *I* could reliably do what they're claiming the dog is doing. To remember which button is which without being able to read is like touch typing, but worse because the buttons seem to be mounted on re-arrangeable puzzle pieces. Maybe I could associate the color of those pieces with words, but that would only cover the center button on each piece.

If a dog were using specific buttons for language (or if I were doing the same thing) I'd expect the dog to press a lot of buttons, until he heard the sound he was looking for, then to press that button over and over. Not to just walk straight to a button and press.

I think the cat just presses the buttons when it wants the owner to come, and presses them again when the owner says something high pitched at the end and looks at it in expectation.
Maybe you are scared that they won’t find the article as informative as you think it is? I would start by sharing things with your closest colleague and branch out from there with incremental sharing/helping. That first time someone says “I think I heard about x from you initially actually” the positive feedback loop will have started.

Honestly, this took me years before I saw it but it will happen.

Think of it this way: social norms mean that you will likely only ever receive the positive feedback from your sharing, not negative feedback. And even if you got negative feedback, how bad could it be? “I already knew that” or “interesting.. but i couldn’t finish it” “but thanks for thinking of me!!”

Hope this helps :).
This is precisely why I am still a crypto believer despite all its flaws.
How much impact do these services actually have on elected officials? They know how little effort constituents put into having a text sent on their behalf so they're probably going to put very little weight on them. Go through the effort of handwriting a letter is going to add quite a bit of weight to your message. If you are unwilling to invest a small bit of time and the cost of a stamp to send a message, why would they think it's very important to you?

> You should have the right to inhale whatever the hell you want.

This position puts you far to the liberal side of any existing internationally recognized democratic government; all of them currently place restrictions on what you are allowed to inhale, and contrary to vkou's point in https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=30230039, that doesn't seem to be the only alternative to ceding power over what you inhale to undemocratic, unelected oligarchs.
I thought the parent made an excellent point, and encouraged OP to try new things without hesitation because there wasn't much he was going to lose, and because he was in that condition because he wasn't trying out new things (meaning there no serious psychological issues with him). I would be glad to get his advice.
Not being able to beat kids is not something new. It is something that existed for decades and over a generation.
That list is missing several very famous examples, e.g. Sarah Burke, so it's definitely not accurate.

> High level training brings many inherent risks that the athletes are presented with

In the sense that most swimmers eventually injure their shoulders, or most rowers eventually injure their lower backs, then sure. But the IOC is purposely making the sports more dangerous to make them more exciting, which is completely different than overuse injuries -- which often don't even have any consequences in every day life, beyond that the person can no longer do their sport at an elite level.
A large chunk of the UK wouldn't have broadband if it didn't.
Yes, if they have a charcoal filter. The Coway AP-1512 is a favorite to handle both odor and lower particulates.

I have three.

There are a number of past threads where people discuss their enthusiasm for this model. Have a search.
I'm confused, did I call for censorship? Are you saying that no one should be criticized because they have first amendment rights?

Also, it's extremely naive to think the US government has no influence over US media. First, there is significant overlap and connectivity in the ruling class that runs the government and runs media companies. Second, there are many examples of the media and the government working together to craft a message. I can provide several references to examples if you were unaware of this.
Well, it won't happen. It's just a way too big market to give up. Even if they are forced to invest a significant amount of their engineering power to get it done, they probably will have to. And I think they should be required to do it, if the same requirements apply to every other company too.
The cause is that you are selfish and want to look after yourself. You need to let go of your ego and be happy for the success of others.
In ten years ML models may be "thinking" the same thing about us. Our "more understandable" code is full of inefficiencies and bugs and the bots wonder why we can't see this.
