So many startups with such low sample size pitch big on AI/ML/NLP and every things else under the sun. AMZN and other bigs not able to win it, says loud that it is complex, and very algorithm can always be introduced to weight a bias.

AI telling me it is time to eat/drink/workout is very different from AI evaluating my social media feeds and recommending topic/time to post, to get me more reactions. Whether what I share has value or not.

AI/NLP to transform mundane tasks into automation is always a goal to achieve :)

Exactly, so it’s weird to worry about a Zoom problem in particular. If anything it’s a little better now since most people are conditioned to think of technical problems as less likely the affected persons fault (that’s why I referred to the alternative as “morons”) - even if you left yourself plenty of time and did everything right and public transit fucked you over it was never a good look.
If this happens there is going to be a generation of rebel kids who specialize in finding creative ways to take these things down and steal the packages.

I haven't seen any studies suggesting this is the case, and they've been testing for years. Do you have a source on this?

Noise is the only concern I'm aware of.
You start generating significant interference, you'll invite a black van with funny antenna to your neighborhood.
The issue is why they completely ignore costs and legacy substitution: vendor relations and content.

The true answer is often "The old version was just as good or better, don't upgrade."

But nobody gets a continual churn of review clicks and affiliate purchase cuts off of that.

Ignoring it with "price is hard" is disingenuous on the part of review sites. Notably, this was initially one of Wirecutter's key draws: presenting winners in a price-segmented manner.
Would decades of squats, deadlifts, free weights/kettlebells and a plethora of compound exercises build up enough hip/femoral bone density and muscle to withstand most chances of hip breaks occurring? Or most bone breakages, period?

I’m assuming most of the population does not engage in serious exercise regiments, but we rarely have studies performed solely on a highly athletic/strong cohort, so I have to be the glib one and ask if bodybuilders are exempt from these “frail in old age” studies.

One great study we’ve had done recently is how the heart is sculpted as pertaining to exercises that are done, namely cycling, swimming, lifting heavy weights, and rowing all exhibit their own reconfiguration of heart walls/chambers.
I remember way back in 2015 we had security personnel and strange dudes in orange suits walking around the beach playing with drones. That same week I saw a news article headlined "Amazon secretly testing drones near the border"[1]. Pretty fun. They haven't figured out a solution in ~10 years. Good luck I guess

Yeah, the guys at bullettrain do a good job! I think of them as being in the same category as Jumpstart. They give you the tools to build the SaaS part of your app, Avo takes it from there and enables you to move very fast with the rest of your app.
The only people that want this seem to be Amazon execs… obviously so they no longer need to employ delivery drivers.

I’m not particularly inclined to let them, but I don’t have the money to pay off politicians, which is how I’m assuming this is coming to pass.

I guess that means I side with the locals. Lets capture these things and return them as piles of parts to Amazon.
For many domains active learning is not that efficient actually. The promise is that you make a subset of labels and train on them the model with the same accuracy. The reality is that in order to estimate long tail properly you need all the data points in the training set, not just a subset.

Consider simple language model case. In order to learn some specific phrases you need to see them in the training, and phrases of interest are rare (usually 1-2 cases per terabytes of data). You simply can not select a half.

A semi-supervised learning and self-supervised learning are more reasonable and widely used. You still consider all the data for training. You just don't annotate it manually.
This was my impression as well. It seems to have some sort of object permanence when the camera is moved rather than just convoluting a single frame; seems significantly more difficult to me as a layman.
Reminds me of that time a BuzzFeed News reporter ventured away from the coasts, (allegedly) met a local who rambled about Starbucks Christmas cups, and wrote about how Christians are outraged about Starbugs Christmas cups.
I develop in an Ubuntu Multipass VM on my M1 MacBook Air. It's great -- I get all the GUI/ecosystem niceties of macOS, but work in "real" Linux. I mount my Mac home folder on the Ubuntu VM, so in a way this is kind of like "WSL for macOS" -- I sometimes even forget that I'm not actually on my Mac, it's so seamless.

For a while I was using Parallels and/or UTM, but honestly (perhaps due to my /r/unixporn addiction), not having the option of a GUI on the Linux VM is great (well, it's technically possible with Multipass, but it's a bit involved). For work, I prefer to treat Linux as command line-only, nothing more -- "OS as IDE," that whole thing.

Since it's a VM, I'm happy to just blow it away and start over if I screw something up (though, the lack of a DE greatly simplifies and reduces the number of things that can go wrong). I have a single repo with all my dotfiles, and if I pull that down and symlink a few things, I have my old environment up and running in minutes. I've been meaning to look into nix, but haven't yet since it's known to have such a steep learning curve. For now, though, this is working great; my needs are so simple and my tools so few that I honestly don't know if the juice will be worth the squeeze.

I also tend to keep my Mac pretty clean and "unpolluted," as I generally create bespoke build environments in VMs. So even the Mac is fungible.

I've honestly never been happier with a dev machine/environment. No more weird macOS/Linux inconsistencies, hardly any maintenance overhead, aside from customizing my dotfiles (which I really enjoy -- it's like gardening, in a way). It all just works.
I’d be even more curious (more philosophically than anything) as to who is liable for the mishap if Copilot suggests something that ends up violating a license. Is it the developer? The developer’s company? GitHub? Maybe the “AI” is the ultimate scapegoat (“we can’t be liable for what our helpful robot decides to do”)!

Looks to be written and self-published by a recent grad. I think the feeling of "flatness" comes from the author's background as a less experienced writer. Nonetheless, I found their points notable and respect their choice to publish.
They list out their reasons here https://seirdy.one/posts/2021/03/10/search-engines-with-own-...

Sounds like two were excluded for having a far-right focus, one for crypto payments, and the rest for being small/simple proof-of-concepts

That said, I would also be interested in what engines in particular were excluded, with a small blurb as to why it wasn't included.

This has been one of my favorite Dilbert cartoons for a while: https://dilbert.com/strip/1992-12-27 It's been my wife & I's philosophy on clothes for a while and it's been working out. I'm sure it's suboptimal and I'm sure I don't care.
MLM stuff is a flat out cult. I've had friends that seemingly over night turned into people who once talked to me about their families, lives, hopes and dreams into people who could only talk to me about protein powders they were trying to sell me.
I've been using it for a while now. When I forget some syntax occasionally I'll switch this on instead of searching documentation or google, but more often than not my IDE can get me unstuck with less overhead.

Also if there are some repetitive sections of code I need to bang out quickly this will auto fill that repetitive pattern (although I'd argue this is usually a sign that the code should be cleaned up)

I avoid letting it fill in large swaths of code though. I have no idea where that code is coming from (license infringement?) and it tends to go way off the rails.

Additionally I feel that it makes me a worse programmer if I allow it to take over too much.

I've been programming for 20 years (more if you count my time as a kid) and have a certain flow. Part of that flow is the natural pause between thinking of solutions and typing. When the computer is beating me to the typing portion (and often times making mistakes) I would find myself doing more code review than code writing. Sometimes a few bugs popped up and it was thanks to copilot (or was it me failing to correct copilot's mistakes?).

I found my brain sort of switching into a different mode. Rather than thinking about my next steps I was thinking about the steps the computer just took and how I needed to clean them up.

Rather than the AI being my reviewer during a paired programming session, I was the computer's reviewer.

So now, like I said I use it very sparingly.
My tai chi instructor is retirement age and got aggressive martial arts out of their system at a young age. We were taught that the enemy we are most likely to fight is the environment, not some assailant. And for me that’s been truer than for most[1]. I’ve taken a few bad spills off of steps or curbs that might have put me into a cast or on crutches, and in almost all of them I didn’t even end up with a limp due to reflexes I trained in tai chi.

If you have ever tried meditation and found it physically too painful, I highly recommend you try a tai chi class. I found it quite easy to turn the warmups into standing meditation, having failed many times before.

1. As a child I drew bad attention regularly, but genes and life choices have put me into a privileged place. It took walking to lunch with coworkers through a “bad” neighborhood for this to really hit home. Nobody was going to bother me, but I’d seen other people get bothered, and it hit me that nobody bothered them only because I was walking in front of them. It certainly could be the case that tai chi helps you with such things, but that was not so for most of my fellow students, and certainly not for some of the bigger guys.
It's arguable. Copyright cares a lot about provenance, transformation, and commercial consequences. It all comes down to what you can afford to litigate. Some projects go to extreme lengths, like Wine not accepting code from anyone who has seen leaked Windows sources.
Assuming the USPS and physical addresses are in the same town, the following format can work quite well:

314 Something Rd / PO 404

Town, City 12345

This works because the postal service tries to deliver to the last thing on the label that they recognize. Using slash as a separator works better than a comma or newline because it's less likely the service you're shipping from will "notice" that you put a PO box in and force the package to send via USPS.
Hopefully quieter than the vans driving around. Especially when they reverse.

Depends on altitude before delivery?

I’m willing to let this play out.
Saying you wish there was more data doesn't imply that there is no data, so I figured I'd ask if there was something.

I think anecdotally you may be right. But preference is a very hard thing to determine. It's unfair to compare porn to sex the same way it is unfair to compare watching a sport to playing it. One requires very little effort, the other monumental effort comparatively.
Someone should patent a rooftop landing guide apparatus for drones that can be retrofitted on buildings. A drone would use it to visually sync with it to know where it should land, and deposit the package into a standardized climate-controlled package receptacle. Then you just need to get the packages into the building somehow.
I mean if you start firing shots you're attracting attention too.
Are there any plans for GitHub Copilot to ship an API? I think it would be interesting to set it up w/ my side project https://codeamigo.dev

Direct streaming is great but I wish you could enforce it natively from the server side.

The challenge is getting your friends and family to change the default prefer-transcoding behavior every time they fire up a new client.

I know you can use tricks like tautulli events to terminate transcode streams but they're difficult to deploy and a bad UX for the users even at their best. Better to have Plex tell users something like "This content can't be played at your preferred bitrate X, would you like to use more data to play at full bitrate Y? Yes/No/Always"
Why open oneself up to liability by attacking the drone when you could just sue Amazon for reckless endangerment?

>If anyone can do it

I think you missed most comments under this article...
> Notice the caveat above: "if we share". Human greed is the fly in the ointment.

No, it isn't. Basic physics and economics is the fly in the ointment. For a given level of economic activity, a given amount of material wealth will be produced. That wealth can be distributed evenly or unevenly, equitably or inequitably [1], but there is one basic fact that cannot change, which is the that average wealth per capita will equal the total wealth divided by the number of people. So if the population increases without a concomitant increase in total wealth, everyone will necessarily be, on average, worse off, no matter how much we share.

Christian theology is based on the idea that "God will provide" and intercede miraculously if we have enough faith. Unfortunately, that belief, as with most religious beliefs, collides violently with reality, and when it does, reality wins.

[1] It is also worth noting that an even distribution is not necessarily the same as an equitable one.
The genesis has 24 bit address bus, but my 64 bit CPU I'm typing this on only has a 39 bit physical address bus (48 bit virtual) and we still call it a 64 bit CPU.

I think they'd still need a GPS signal to complete a mission offline and most jammers can muck up GPS signals as well. It would be flying by sight (camera) only and I don't know of any drone that can do that.
I mean, the memory safety is not an exactly defined term and it took a compromise to pick the exact definition of memory safety for Rust. I fully agree that the memory leak is far less risky than this notion of memory safety, but it is still a (slight) compromise especially when you are new to Rust. As a new language Hare doesn't have to take this granted.
The blind auditions may be a bad example - or at least, may not have helped get more women hired into orchestras. The original study that posited that blind auditions greatly help women does not show strong data to support its claims and what data it does show either contradicts the claim (when confounded) or has no significant result and large error values (when unconfounded). See https://jsmp.dk/posts/2019-05-12-blindauditions/ for more details.

There are also a lot of... let's call them self-styled anti-racists who want to end blind auditions because they don't result in enough minority hires (see [0], [1], [2]) which is an interesting way to define discrimination, I suppose.

I guess that makes sense. It's mostly useful when working on mundane tasks on popular stacks. Experts working on non-trivial use-cases won't see much benefits.

Personally, I'm not a in a coding position anymore and only code occasionally on stacks I'm mostly unfamiliar with: copilot is a godsend as it saves me from googling every other lines of code to figure out which api calls I'm suppose to do to accomplish the task at end.

I see it as a stackoverflow on steroids.

Even if I don't use it much, I guess I'll have to pony up the 10 usd because I would not want to go back to googling basic syntax for everything when I'm coding something.

Misplaced blame. You can blame hardware vendors for this. They're supposed to provide a way to load arbitrary signatures, but some didn't (I think they all do now though). Microsoft also has a service where they will sign your executable. And before you claim that's a problem, remember that SSL works the exact same way.
Yeah, I mentioned bullettrain somewhere in a comment below. It's an amazing SaaS starter kit.

As far as I know, they have some things as open source and some not. Not sure if they published the pricing for the subscription packages though. A lot of people are wondering what that's going to cost.

I used Avo with Jumpstart and they go together wonderfull. Probably with bullettrain too.

Error handling in Go feels tedious after doing error handling in Rust.
The details might differ per country, but my non-lawyer intuition clearly says that you are responsible for the code you publish, no matter what tool has suggested it.
Those early pioneers of computing were able to do so much with so little, that I think they couldn't possibly imagine how bloated things would get. I think they were assuming that developers would only get more efficient, rather than much much less. Certainly naive, but in my opinion understandable.

The paper mentions Kruglanski & Webster[1] which is good, but somehow misses their 1994 paper "Individual differences in need for cognitive closure."[2] The latter develops the Need For Closure Scale(NFCS) which is available online[3]. The NFCS exemplifies some of the aspects of the needs for cognitive closure.

> 21(d) In most social conflicts, I can easily see which side is right and
which is wrong.

> 30(d) I dislike it when a person's statement could mean many different
things.

> 32(a) I find that establishing a consistent routine enables me to enjoy
life more.

I'd even go so far to say that by not assessing the paper's subjects using NFCS the authors made a massive oversight.

If the subject interests you, I recommend reading the sources. They aren't too hard to follow, but if you're someone who is unfamiliar with the limitations of developing a psychological assessment instrument, you might have to put aside your need for cognitive closure for a bit while reading them.

If it should, it's a lot more complicated than that. "Open source" isn't a boolean where as long as you share your source you're compliant. Licenses usually require that a copyright notice be redistributed along with any source code and / or attribution in other ways, sometimes they require details of any modifications, etc. They're not doing that.
