> i don’t think qualifiers like ”weakly”/“strongly” get in the way, but they do show just how uncertain most effects actually are.

"Most" seems to caused by selection bias.

There is new areas where knowlegde has to be established first. Theories can be created, and experiments defined to confirm or reject them. But it takes time. That's the realm of fast tracking results the original article is about. The temporary results will be replaced later. Covid is such a case (even if ethics may get in the way of some experiments). "Most" of science is like this.

Then there's areas that cannot be verified by experiment. Probabilities are useful there, too, even more so, because they will persist long-term, even if there is consensus. Main examples are climate (no control group of earths to conduct experiments on) and cosmology (no control group of universes).

There are definitely some people out there who have severely distorted sleep schedules that won't respond to adjustments.

However, I think it's far more rare than a lot of people think. There are a lot of people whose shifted sleep schedules come mostly from lifestyle factors, not genetics.

This becomes most obvious when you watch new parents adapt. Most of the "genetic late sleepers" I knew mysteriously became natural morning people after having kids.

I had a coworker who insisted he simply could not show up to work before 11AM due to his sleep genetics. That is until he went on a camping trip for a week and his sleep schedule completely normalized. He was showing up at 9AM wide awake (and happy!) for several weeks after that, but then slowly shifted back to his 11AM arrivals as his sleep schedule deteriorated from his lifestyle. The culprit, in his case, was late-night internet usage that he wouldn't give up. At least he recognized and accepted the actual problem later.
That's quite an apples and oranges comparison. I think they are e.g. basically implying, that ATMs or point-of-sale systems or any financial services at the bank counter wouldn't be needed in a Bitcoin-only world. Seems like a false premise.

Also they ignore the energy consumption of storing the blockchain. It is currently at around 400 GB, and growing exponentially. I think there are around 70 million Bitcoin users at the moment, so if everyone downloaded the full chain, as recommended, that'd be close to 30 BILLION GB of data — that's a whole bunch of flash memory to manufacture and power.

I know not nearly everyone has the full copy, but even if the number of full copies is 1 %, it's still insane.

The iPhone 4 came out in 2010 and I haven't suffered that kind of debacle since then. The problems I've had with Apple products are minor in comparison to Dell's. When I've contacted Apple's support, they've always been reactive and never tried to tell me the bugs were my fault.

I've never had another company throw my ticket away with as obviously dishonest a reason as "you're not supposed to actually use your graphics card for graphics" and prevent me from following up. The fact that a guy on Reddit was more helpful than the support isn't acceptable.
I get it for kids younger than 8-10 (depending on the kid), but after that age kids should be able to get out of the house and to school on their own. For the youngest it can be solved with a before school program. The kids just need a place to eat breakfast and chill with their friends before the school day starts.
When I was in high school it was additional training for athletes before class. For all our programs it was geared towards strength and conditioning.

If I remember correctly, we started around 7am.

The restaurant owners don't need to go through the effort. I'm in a consortium of companies that use ML in their business. One of the companies is a competitor to GrubHub. They use ML to: read scanned menus, understand items, look at pictures... then: predict what ingredients items have; populate if the item is one of entree, meal, desert, or snack; populate if the item is one of gluetn-free, vegetarian, or some other similar stuff

All of this without the mom-and-pop restaurant owners lifting a finger. It gives them a competitive edge over their competitors. All of this to say: Google doesn't care - but GrubHub, UberEats, and the ilk do care
Maybe interesting insight: trustpilot scores can almost exclusively be attributed to whether a patient has data in the system about them or not. If a person does get data, then it's a 5. If a person has an empty record, it's a 1. And that only, exclusively depends on whoever is holding the data, eg. the trust, hospital, etc.

I have no idea about modern pixel art artist’s thought process, but it’s generally under-appreciated that CRT-era pixel art looks significantly different on todays displays than it looked on the originally targeted hardware.

That being said, there were also a couple of years in the 2000’s where pixel-based icons were specifically designed for LCD.
There is actually no perfect solution

For one, browser's can't agree on what CSS solution to pick. Chrome and Safari have `image-rendering: pixelated` whereas Firefox has `image-rendering: crisp-edges`. The spec used to say pixelated meant "keep it looking pixelated" and that "crisp-edges" meant to keep the edges crisp and so allowed various algorithms. The spec was changed in early 2021 so that crisp-edges means "nearest-neighbor" and "pixelated" still means "keep it looking like pixels" which implies nearest-neighbor + extra.

It gets worse though. What is the web developer's intent?

Example: I put

<img src="128x128.png" style="width: 256px; height: 256px; image-rendering: pixelated">

Seems straight forward right? I want my 128x128 pixel image displayed double size (256x256) where each original pixel is 2x2 pixels on the user's machine.

But, that's not how browsers work. My Windows Desktop has a devicePixelRatio of 1.25 so asking for a 256px by 256px CSS pixel image gives 317x317 device pixels. That means this 128x128 pixel image, scaled to 317x317 with nearest neighbor filtering is going to look really really bad as some pixels get 2x2 and others get 1x1 scaling. This is why `pixelated` = "nearest neighbor" may not actually be what the web designer wants.

Where as, if you manually scale the 128x128 image to say 512x512 using nearest neighbor and then let the browser scale it to 256x256 * devicePixelRatio using the default bilinear filtering it will likely look better.

Note: You can get these non-integer devicePixelRatio values on Chrome or Firefox just by zooming in the browsers (Cmd/Ctrl +/-). On Windows you can also go into the display settings and choose an OS level devicePixelRatio so that OS handled UI widgets and well written apps will adjust how they draw.

See example:

https://jsgist.org/?src=c65dfc4e2ed2e547a2d5aad69360be6d

Zoom in and out and, at least on my machines the right (pre-scaled externally and then scaled down) looks better than the left (original resolution with image-renedering: pixelated
Tesla's Autopilot feature is standard. The thing that costs $10k is Full Self Driving.

Which is an example of what I mean when I say "Tesla's biggest problems with any of their autonomous systems is the names they give those systems. They confuse regulators, reporters, and consumers."
This is true, but I also find it funny because whenever Apple has discontinued products in the past, such as the Xserve, Apple has been completely pilloried in comment forums.

I feel Google gets some complaints, but there's nowhere near the outrage.

10 Years of Geometry Pad: reflections on building and selling iPad apps
You can get glaucoma later in life. I was diagnosed in my mid-40s, now I have to take drops for the rest of my life. And still might go blind. Some people with open-angle glaucoma don't even know they have it, which is why it is referred to as "the silent thief of sight". I'd definitely take a genetic cure for this if one existed.

There might be nothing wrong with you now, but there is no guarantee it will stay that way.
That's a super interesting thought, thanks!

There is quite few animals that can do a lot instinctively, right? Like a turtle hatching finds water, swims, eats.

Also reminds me of the experiment with rats that genetically transferred fear for a specific smell. ( https://www.newscientist.com/article/dn24677-fear-of-a-smell... )

No. I'm not. I'm saying there must be simple model primitives that don't involve electromagnetic fields and other strange communication channels that arise out of evolution that can be used to model intelligence.

We aren't fully clear about what this model of intelligence is, but I'm instinctively sure that it won't have to involve anything as complex as biological neurons that communicate through thousands of different pathways and electromagnetic side effects too.
Is there a single step-by-step guide that shows what to do?

All I can find on that (frankly quite awful) site are ways to sign up to a course by email, lots of podcast episodes, testimonials for people that improved their eyesight, and endless photos of what I assume is the site's creator. The "Guides" page doesn't actually have any guides, just more of the same.

From what I can tell, the guy really wants to sell you a course, but at the same time, they are all "sold out".
Oh god, 50 shades of SpongePants. The future is wild in ways I never imagined. Star Trek style holodecks in what, 15 years?

So, creepy thought: should we be recording audio of our parents, so we can still "hear from them" once in a while after they die? People are going to want to reconstruct their lost loved ones with AI. This project seems to imply you only need an hour or so of audio.
That overstates the benefit somewhat. Housing benefit is capped at the lowest third of local market rates, and further capped at £20,000/yr.

So a single person reliant on benefits will at best be able to live in shared accommodation. Larger families in more expensive locations (e.g. most of London) would not have their rent fully covered. A single bedroom flat in the cheaper parts of London rents for about £15,000/yr.
System instability and security issues are just fun! That is all I'm hearing.
At this point I think we should have some sort of vetoing power on when a new kid comes in and says "I'll write it in C". He should give very convincing arguments on why he can't use a higher level, safer language.
Too many people are allowed to "write it in C because it's fun" and here we are.

sleep: 48-56 hours;
work: 40 hours

that leaves 72-80 hours for other stuff. but,

you are not spending those 80 hours in a single location.

work-lunch and commute: 10-15 hours;
errands, shopping: 5 hours;
go out, dinner, friends, etc: 5-10 hours;
weekend activities: 5-15 hours.

these numbers are made up based on my experience. some people spend more time at home than others.

what remains is that work is the single largest block of time that you spend in the same location with the same group of people who are not all family and friends in an environment that you don't have any control over, and where you have no choice but to be there unless you quit your job. you don't even have to hang out at home if you don't like it there.

so work better be a place where i actually enjoy spending time because life is to short to suffer through a bad workplace.
Yes - you've just described a reducer function (ala Redux and React's `useReducer`).

Note that to be a _true_ Finite State Machine, the reducer function would need to be written to first check what state value it's currently in, _then_ decide if the input is relevant. Most Redux reducers are not actually written that way - they just update the state value based on the action, regardless of what the existing state was.

Aside from the causal brony references, this project originally featured a lot of my little pony voices because it needed meticulously annotated transcriptions of the input audio to be trained well.

The extremely dedicated brony subculture voluntarily put in a lot of work to get a corpus for the AI to learn from.

There's also another factor at play: this AI works best with highly pitched voices, which my little pony is just full of. Not only did MLP provide such a generous source of training data, its results were also much more impressive than the dry dictation many other corpi would've resulted in, adding to its fame.

I personally haven't seen any significant rise in MLP references, though that could be because I don't know the show so I don't catch references to it. It's also very possible that you've caught the Baader-Meinhof phenomenon.

The only thing more upsetting to me than having Inbox foisted on me was having it torn away from me afterwards. I was resistant to more change for the sake of change from Google, then Inbox won me over with its excellent UI. It became a combination of to-do list, email, and calendar that felt like an extension of my brain. The tiny concessions to its good UX that were pulled into Gmail were cold comfort. The equivalent functionality in GCalendar is way more clunky.
The OP is probably understanding "capitalist" in the sense of Marxist economics, wherein surplus value generated by laborers is extracted by investors. In that sense, co-ops, where the workers themselves maintain complete democratic control of what happens to the entirety of the fruits of their labor, are very much in contrast to a capitalist business. Whether you think that is a meaningful/useful distinction probably depends on how seriously you take the tradition of Marxist economics in the first place, but given the context of the conversation, those seem like pretty reasonable examples.
The silly part of this is referring to it as a "syndrome" like it's a disease. It's simply a thing that you can choose to do to a child, and easy to understand without medicalizing it.

WWDC’s keynote revolves around a bunch of Operating System and hardware announcements that I’m interested in as a user of their OS and hardware even though I am not specifically targeting their APIs as a developer.

Google I/O’s keynote (had to look it up) had a bunch of random announcements about their sites, like… automated transcriptions for youtube? Some map stuff? As an occasional user of their sites I really am not interested in any of this. I’m sure it matters to some people, but it isn’t universally interesting, I guess.

The closest Google comes to what Apple does is the Android and Pixel announcements, but Pixel hardware is just one option in the ecosystem rather than the whole thing, so I don’t think it necessarily attracts the same kind of attention.
- Write lesson plans for the department.

- Prepare materials for students to work on.

- Mark students' work.

- Write assessment reports on students for parents.

- Write department action plans.

- Complete SEN reports on selected students.

- Complete CPD in electronics and CS to upskill in the subjects I taught.

- Prototype new projects that the students would engage with in the future.

I could go on. For about every hour I spent actually teaching in a classroom, there was half an hour spent planning, assessing or completing admin work. I regularly worked 12 hour days, plus weekends, and all those long holiday that we were supposed to get.
Ai is not a single entity. Clearly that Chabot is not driving Google's autonomous cars, and probably doesn't have the capabilities to. Maybe appearing sentient is easier than dealing with driving in the ways we want those system to.
Google events are generally boring and of poor production value. Plus, what Google is known for primarily is the search engine which is not what they announce at Google I/O.
As an Android developer I can say that a good chunk of Android-related talks on Google I/O is just not interesting to me, like those about Wear OS, Android Auto, machine learning etc. I don't use them professionally, and it's unlikely that I will in the near future, they're just not that popular (who owns a Wear OS watch?). Other than that there are lots of simple tutorial-like presentations, so it's much faster to just read relevant article/documentation instead of watching a video. The rest talk either talk about stuff that's already been announced _or_ preview-alpha-01-unstable libraries that won't get stable for another year or so. Just feels like a waste of time.

I'd guess WWDC is more exciting because the stuff presented is instantly relevant in the ecosystem, as majority (?) of the iPhone users will get an update and will benefit from the new APIs etc.
Kate Bush, “Running Up That Hill,” and the End of Music Charts as We Knew Them
This was sort of a terminological failure on my part... When I say analog I am including typical digital PABXs. Now that's somewhat fair because a number of small and medium business "digital" PABXs used digital signaling and analog audio, especially key systems. But there were plenty of entirely digital systems, and of course ISDN had decent popularity in large institutional contexts. I'm not sure what a great term is to encompass all of these systems besides "non-IP."

But on the small business end, most businesses are doing just that right now... Going from one or two analog lines to a cloud managed IP solution.

> Or maybe you want to escape to Lake Tahoe for a long weekend? That would be less than an hour on a Lilium Jet, at a cost of around $250 at launch and less in the near future. It might not be something you’d do every weekend, but saving you three hours each way might well make it worthwhile for an occasional trip.

Obviously at first this will be a luxury good, but it's not obvious that it'll remain out of reach for the middle class. (Sure, it'll never be cheaper than a bus.)

It's a fair question exactly how much regulatory change this approach requires, but my impression is that they are trying to operate within existing constraints (I'd appreciate any insight from experts in the aviation space though).

I'm not going to speculate on the exact cause but I'm comfortable saying children should have 2-3 recess periods outside totalling at least an hour (preferably 2 or 3) and that the recess periods should be structured to ensure that children spend time focusing on a variety of things at a variety of distances. There's certainly a possibility this won't have the intended effect but it will doubtlessly have a lot of net good effects assuming air quality cooperates.
