My view on this is framed a bit differently but probably a similar ultimate perspective:

I think it's probably going to be a long time before models only using quantifiable measurements can even meet the performance of top doctors. I can't recommend enough that someone experiencing issues doctor-shop if they haven't gotten a well-explained diagnosis from their current doctor.

But I'm very curious how good one has to be in order to be better than a below-average doctor, or a 50th-percentile doctor, or a 75th...

But I also think there may be weird failure modes similar to today's not-fully-self-driving cars along the lines of "if even the 75th-percentile-doctor uses the tool and sees an output that stops them from asking a question they otherwise might have, can it hurt things too?"
I was lucky enough to have a conversation with him after a lecture once. He was very nice to me, but also a contrarian. Even still, I've met few people whose minds so clearly demonstrated their enormous breadth of thought, let alone in a short conversation late at night.

I live in an old New England farm town in a house from the early 1800s. (The town was founded in 1653.)

Looking at maps from the 1800s, it was always pretty spread out. There is a small town green with a couple old churches, library, cemetery, and town hall. And there used to be some mills along the river. But it was mostly fairly spread out farming.

As you suggest, in England and I assume other areas of Europe there would be a more distinct village with a place dating to that time.
That matches my experience reading a lot of ML research papers. Most papers that include code are PyTorch-only. Some have both PyTorch and TF. Few are TF-only. Then there is JAX and it's been growing.
Why would you, though? It's just a list of 5B URLs. Some might go down, some new might go up. But it's not like any government body can suddenly take down all photos on the whole internet...
> but also to eliminate huge distribution repositories of packages all modifying root directory contents and requiring redundant packager work.

Well... I'd argue both of them failed. Snap is well-made, but mired in Canonical politics to the point that it's unusable. Flatpak has good intentions, but is generally poorly maintained and driven by ideologues rather than project managers and top-down leadership. That's without mentioning the technical implementations of either project, both of which fail to eliminate redundancy in their runtimes and feel completely foreign to the native system.

Nix shouldn't have to come up so frequently in these discussions, but it's a much better package manager than Flatpak or Snap (isolation technologies aside). If Flatpak also worked with software maintainers instead of embracing mutual distrust, it could be faster and lighter on the system. Instead of tracking our dependencies properly, we've resigned ourselves to just targeting "Another Competing Standard" and hoping it won't also become irrelevant in 5 years when rpm-ostree-2 drops. It doesn't strike me as a resilient or reliable technology in the long-term, especially on it's own.
> you can sue someone for violating the ADA but you can't "win damages"

The damages are the incentive to sue. If you don't have that, you might as well not have the law. Or you need to fund an agency for enforcement.
I'm not throwing a fit. I'm saying that the five-paragraph essay is supposed to teach clear writing, and it doesn't.

Looks good. I use Postman daily and it sucks, so always open to alternatives.

I don't recall what it looked like the last time you posted, but I wonder if part of the low interest is because upon arrival it doesn't instantly jump out to the visitor that this is something you can host/run locally.
It's very easy to miss the Github links top right. And if you don't realise that, then what you see is a third party website expecting you to send your development requests through their UI, which is off-putting.

> Starlink could charge a massive premium for high resolution GPS.

but then they'd have to make it reliable. We are also not sure how much more (if at all) accurate it is.

sure the bandwidth of the downlink is much higher, and louder than GPS, but the accuracy of the clocks on the satellites is much less. More importantly they are not characterised, so we arn't sure how much they drift due to temperature (both from sun and other effects.)

depending on the navigation type, visual positioning might be better/faster/more accurate. For "military" purposes, silent autonomous navigation without radio sensors is pretty appealing. Using satellite imagery, its perfectly possible to make an accurate, robust visual navigation system

for urban areas, "VPS"s are far quicker and more accurate, but require network access to work practically.

Apple 2e and 2c was still popular in 87 and probably sold more than Mac in that year.
Admittedly I only saw Steve doing this like two or three times. The group that was next to mine was not large and was gone in about a week. Heard similar stories from others who observed Steve Jobs randomly talking to people who then left and also heard some of these people talking about these events. Morale was very low in many groups at that time and a lot of people working there had quite remarkable egos.

This seems quite a big deal for Apple - and said as a long time Apple user.
It's so interesting, these waves of CSS improvements.

Before the flexbox/grid arrival, there were years of near-zero progress.

The flexbox/grid release, uniquely coordinated across browsers (for once), was an excellent milestone, but not really a movement.

These last 2 years though feel almost like a revolution in comparison to CSS's history. Somebody is pushing very hard.

These are some very serious improvements that address core needs and gaps. In particular scaling CSS in large applications, with things like @layers, @scope and container queries.

The second goal seems to be to make CSS preprocessors obsolete.

Compliments to whoever is working on this. My favorite upcoming one has to be toggle, controversial or not, the idea that for simple interactions you don't even require JS anymore is a good development.

The luxury problem this creates is the slow adoption rate. Something extraordinarily powerful as grid is still barely used. Old habits die hard.
> The problem is the entire system where you are making a 30yr investment just so your family can get a good school district.

A good school district can be nice (if you'll have kids and if you'll send them to that public school) but the primary reason to have a home is have a place to live where the costs are predictable over the long term, unlike renting.
>I'm old enough to remember people telling me I wouldn't always have a calculator handy, and obviously that didn't age very well.

Logical error though. The analogy to calculator is poor.

With a calculator it doesn’t matter what your opinion of 17×93 is. There is a right answer and a way to get there. Our ability to get output from a calculator doesn’t change because more or less people use them.

With AI prompted writing, there is no right answer, and what it spits out only exists because other people already wrote on the topic. The quality of the writing is entirely dependent on samples and usage.
It's a weird situation. As far as the State is concerned, you have not committed any crime or wrongdoing. But if you are investigated by the FBI then they could classify it as a crime. Thankfully most people aren't investigated by the Feds.

"My local district has a half dozen or so early release days and full days off for teacher training or whatever. They really ought to tie it to some event on the calendar that gives them an opportunity to teach a little bit about whatever that event is."

For the most part this is exactly what happened. They ended up with a couple of days which didn't match up. They adjusted the start/stop of the school year and winter break in order to keep the same number of instructional days, 180.
Well yeah, it doesn't hurt that the video itself extremely cheap...

The point of the law is that it should be the cost of doing business once you reach a certain size (in this case 500 users).

No one is making you subtitle your class presentation. In fact I went to confirm the 500 user rule, the law was actually updated specifically to carve out extensive exceptions based on revenue. A website needs to make 30k a year, which is not a small amount of traffic: https://illuminea.com/israeli-website-accessibility-guidelin...

At the end of the day OP is making a paid learning course of technical material and still whinging about needed to provide subtitles, yet that's exactly the kind of "pain" these laws should enforce.

There are predatory lawyers looking to sue people for having .01" too tall of a lip at their restaurant's door or something knowing full well they'll lose in court but want to settle... that's where these laws can go wrong. Not basic subtitles.

Honestly it feels like they wanted to launch a new paid service and got a free angle to share it from.

Anyone else find the "Windows Subsystem for x" naming terribly confusing? It sounds like the exact opposite of what it is.
I’m fully in the physicalist camp. I think this is a flawed thought experiment because humans are incapable of knowing everything about seeing red until they actually experience it. Here’s what it’d like be if we actually could without experience:

Suppose you take a perfect snapshot and learn the exact position of all atoms in a persons brain after they see a red apple. Now imagine that humans have the ability to move all the atoms in our brain to be in those exact same positions, at will. So without the red photo receptors in your eye actually detecting anything red, you can make yourself see red apples at anytime. Mary could do this even before ever actually seeing red or even when seeing something that’s reflecting a completely different color to her eyes.

Since we don’t have this magical ability, having an understanding of all the underlying physics and biochemistry of color perception does not really provide everything there is to know about seeing red.

Because you're looking at the USA market as a whole. The regional view tells a much better story because then you don't have movement in one region offset that of other ones.

https://fred.stlouisfed.org/graph/?id=MSPNE,MSPMW,MSPS,MSPW,

You can pretty clearly see that most regions there were long periods of housing stagnation and decline, followed by quick price jumps, then back to stagnation.

And look at how wildly the NE region fluctuates. It regularly moves 10% up or down in any given year. And sometimes much more, prices moved from $403k to 566k in one year (2016->2017).

Whether you did well or not in your housing purchase comes down to luck. Yeah, in aggregate, over long enough time periods, housing does well. But your individual situation will vary dramatically.
Thanks. That’s a bit different than the other user’s reasoning that the single screen plan ought to support 4K, since the single screen 480p plan costs $10/mo, twice what you’re willing to pay for a service.

You valuing access around $5/mo suggests Netflix’s experimental pricing of $3-4/mo per shared login might be dialed in, though.
Perhaps I should have said EU. Or market.

Either way, outside of madrid, you will have a hard time to find an uber in Spain, which is a complicated country.

Let us do the math.
EU has 450 million people, Europe has 740, give or take.

Deduct the Russian market from that, they are out over there.

It was banned then unbanned in places, fe Turkey.

In switzerland, the owe 150million in taxes, not clean solution, is it. In other words, it is worth it to them to operate there having to pay that restrospectivelly, I dare you, try to steal 150m from the Swiss and see how that goes.

Your list leaves plenty to be desired, it does not contain Greece and the Netherlands and Finland, and Belgium.

So 740 m minus

RU has 140m population, of which 100 to 110 m live in the european part.

660m left

Minus Germany and Uk, this leaves us with

510 million, by now, we have excluded almost the entire us population and the countries with most purchasing power for sure.

France, italy and lets say half spain is Nother 130m, leaving us with 380m.

This is half of whole Europe and half of the european union and we are not through yet.

Next most populated country would be ukraine, I would say legal or not, their serives are currently disrupted there by ongoing events.

In other words, europes best economies do not wanna hear about uber and there was no popular uprising about it.

They should take the hint and stay away.

Theybare venditor non grata, that is a horrible business result after a decade of operations.
They may want to stay out of assisted care facilities, but late life decline makes independent living difficult to impossible for many.

They may try to put it off as long as possible, but it will catch up to them. And then it does not take long for the costs to consume their would-be estate.

And the irony is that it's the system their generation built for their parents.

This is a fair enough point, I'm not saying the host isn't being wronged by the state in this instance. It is a burden to fund such things that he may not reasonably be able to afford. But I don't know what the standards for required captions actually are because there was no effort made to elaborate or even link to the accessibility law being discussed. It's assumed that auto-generated captions won't work for one reason or another, since that would reasonably be the easiest and most accessible option (for the creator) to implement. I understand that professional captions cost money but cheap alternatives and community-driven efforts certainly exist. Respectfully, if the guy is hosting 15 websites just for these resources, it seems odd that he wouldn't make an effort to at least mention this circumstance or a timeline to shutdown with his users before a total ragequit. There's obviously many details missing throughout all this so while the situation is sad I don't think this is the best example to illustrate exactly what's going on in the HebrewNet.

Fantastic question. Seems like a risk of HN's simplicity might be that it's easier to game/manipulate. Although it's hard to imagine there's a big pro-Zig lobby! Maybe a few Zig fanboys in a Discord somewhere are doing this?

I'm not sure. Certainly many people refinanced their houses to pull money out over the past few years or got margin loans based on their stocks. Using that money to buy a (different) house gets counted as a cash buyer in the 25% number. But do you consider them a cash buyer? If they later do a HELOC to pull money out of the new house?

It's a tricky question that can really only be answered by looking at how leveraged assets in general are.

I’m not sure I would talk the student about AI at all. I would talk to them about the subject matter.

I think that is the obvious solution to detect this. Does the student know the material when “offline”?

Maybe you get a few anxious people who can’t talk about a topic they know - but that sure does seem like training for the real world.

I'm pretty sure all three. Are there any examples of these "3rd world countries" that don't have a horrible history of foreign exploitation with foreign capital and bribe money propping up awful governments for decades? Blaming the citizens of a poor country for their terrible institutions when their governments were installed by wealthy foreign governments is always blaming the victim.

The reason we make the case that these countries could have been better if their governance wasn't done for the sake of foreign investors is because we can't find a single counterexample. Not only meaning that we can't find an independent country that wasn't successful, but we can't even find an independent country with anything worth taking that wasn't taken.

Because they're (idealy) not linear, I'd assume. Gamma correction[0] is an exponential-like function. Hence, sRGB vs "sRGB linear". Despite what many people think, sRGB color #808080 is not 50% the brightness of #ffffff, but about 75%. All because our eyes are non-linear.

Color math is a massive rabbit hole that deserves its own "things programmers believe about..."
