Correction: any price within range of comps. I assumed that was implied when talking about housing, but okay.

The point I was making is that houses sold quickly regardless of how low they were priced relative to comps. It was/is a bubble through and through.
Fifty-one Covid-19 findings in 2022
I think this is a key point - the training set is very important, because biases, over-curation, or wrong contexts will mean the model may perform very poorly for particular scenarios or demographics.

I can't find the reference now of a radiology AI system which had a good diagnosis rate of finding a pneumothorax on a chest x ray (air in the lining of the lung). This can be quite a serious condition, but is easy to miss. Turns out that the training set had a lot of 'treated' pneumothorax. The outcome was correct - they did indeed have a pneumothorax, but they also had a chest drain in, which was helping the prediction.

Similar to asking what the demographic of training set is, is what the recorded outcome was. How was the diagnosis made. There is often no 'gold standard' of diagnosis, and some are made with varying degrees of confidence. Even a post-mortem can't find everything...
How do you decide that demand is high enough? Do you book the next stop in the tour a few days later assuming that demand is high enough for more shows, and then end up paying the roadies to sit around when the demand isn't high enough?
Sounds harsh..... but stop seeing the same big artists ?

Most small artists have concerts that cost under 100$ while you can stand within touching distance from them and even meet them later for autographs.

I wonder how much all of these tickets would sell on a truly free market, with real bidding ? I am guessing that Blink-182, with 100x as many fans as my local $100/ticket artist, would at least warrant that sort of linear increase in price.
I honestly think it's cultural, and most don't care in my area. The beach 5min from home have a lot of topless women on it, especially in summer (a lot less now) despite being packed with city dwellers, tourists and kids. I do sometimes take a look, as do a lot of people probably, but never heard of someone being a creep or being shamed.
LOL, thanks!

Statistics is the mathematics of being precise about your level of imprecision. It's fairly fundamental to all science, and has been for a while now.

> unless you want to throw your money away renting.

You're not always throwing your money away when you're renting; I'm pretty sure that housing prices are rising faster than rents, due to a culture of housing speculation.
It's a vicious sport. More so in women's polo, where the brute strength range is a lot smaller than in men's. I played at the highschool level, where the violence is vicious, as opposed to the university level where I'd better describe it as "brutal". Players treat the game as team vs. team vs. referee, so it's basically a melee until you think you can flop a bit to get the ref to kick an opposing player out.
> More than once, Steve did cut some projects that were close to finish and you just had to go along since no one had a say in it, except Steve.

You know, this is actually a rather good thing. So many companies are just bloated with projects that they want to see through just to see them through and they make zero sense in the grand scheme of the company. If you have a single person responsible for everything that can just make the hard choices and be the bad guy it is much more healthy for the whole....assuming that person cuts the right things and makes the right choices.

Stage Two Livestream
I think this is the big issue. Subtitling video is much more difficult than just recording it and while maybe reasonable for well funded groups, it isn't for your average one person shop.

In these cases, it seems like it would be much more reasonable to allow scripts/transcripts in place of subtitles. Putting together a written version is something that many educators do already.
There are estimates and estimates.

As a rough ballpark figure (1 day, 1 week, 1 month, 3 months, 6 months, 1 year, 2 years, 3 years, 5 years) estimates are doable and reasonable.

It's also reasonbable and doable to let scope be the factor rather than time. "Tell us the most important thing and we'll do that and deliver the results every couple of weeks, tell us when what you have is good enough".

You can also do fairly accurate estimates when you're basically just doing the same thing as you've already done many times or when the customer doesn't have to give much input. Most of the construction industry is like this because it's older, goverend by physics and building codes and we have a few standard models for most things. Most of the software industry isn't like that.

However for something new, where the customer doesn't really know what he wants in much detail accurate estimates aren't really possible.
In this case anyone who purports to give you an accurate estimate is either lying or using extensive padding.

Customers, and non techinical people in general, have a hard time understanding what things are difficult / important from a complexity perspecitve. Often seemingly "simple" (to them) changes are actually very complex, and sometimes the other way.
I'd agree with that it takes 10 years to become competent in all the required fundamentals for programming like math, algorithms, protocols, security, versioning, databases / persistence, scheduling, memory management, some basic electronics. Not gimmicks like C++, those take infinite years.

Usually this comes into play with captioning (it's why YouTube in the US asks if the video uploaded was ever broadcast on TV), but yes, often "it's free" is not an excuse to avoid accessibility laws.

Many laws recognize this, and have exceptions built in. For example, the ADA itself:

>Exemptions and exclusions. This part does not apply to any private club (except to the extent that the facilities of the private club are made available to customers or patrons of a place of public accommodation), or to any religious entity or public entity.

(Amusingly enough it doesn't apply to airplanes or trains, as those are regulated elsewhere)

Additionally, you’re paying for the right to move relatively quickly and cheaply, even in a depressed housing market.

Someone who rents can move to a new opportunity much more easily than someone who owns, and would need to either sell or find and manage tenants.
Third (better) option: have a regulating body have a separate, undisclosed test set. If you can't beat it, you can't deploy your model. If you can beat it, you still need to have your models peer reviewed and scrutinized

You can set up the analogous experiment with an AI-controlled robot. You feed the AI all available knowledge about the color red. Still it will be as able or unable as Mary to recognize red, until you tell it which bits of the incoming video stream correspond to the red color channel.

That is, the AI has also to understand how the robot’s visual hardware and video signal processing works, including the data formats involved. Then it can deduce how to recognize the color red.

With Mary, it’s basically the same, she needs to map her internal experience to what she knows about colors.

Where I work some teams are using Java, and some are just starting to use Rust. Different problem spaces entirely though, as you said. I've seen Java used here for ETL work, Modeling & Sim work, web apps, and Android. I've seen Rust on two projects, both were real-time or near-real-time efforts.

The competition I am starting to see is between C++ and Rust, with the few teams looking at Rust loving it. I did recently help write a RFP response that noted software will be written in C++ and Rust, and the RFP was awarded to us.

I am in a different world though, as I am a contractor for the DOD. It's more like a lot of small to medium sized companies than one big company, which is why some groups can use Java and others C++ and others Rust.

I have the same problem of differentiating between hobbyists and professional experience, both on HN and when interviewing. I had someone tell me they knew Java, then found out they had done maybe 5 months of Java work and didn't know some of the most basic things.

As for myself, in terms of writing professional software for clients, I've done
the following, in order of amounts worked: Java, C++, Python, Javascript, Erlang, R, Ruby, Clojure, C, Scala, and C#. I've done Rust and Elixir in personal projects, but not yet for clients. I plan to transition to a full-time Rust project in the coming years.
Ah, I see. Thanks for that.

> What "Internet drama" is Twitter trying to get involved in?

Twitter's rules are weaponized by people that hate each other. Whether it's lone individuals or people using Discord and other social media to organize raids, petty people love reporting their rivals on Twitter for anything and everything purely to harm their account. They can do this because they know that Twitter is trying to regulate speech beyond what is legally required so there's a chance that this tactic can work. Trying to regulate speech beyond legal requirements is an open invitation for this type of behavior.

I was just responding to the poster who wrote, 25 percent cash buyers isn't enough to prop up the market.

I don't know if it's enough or not, I was making the point that that 25 percent number is in aggregate for the entire large country and there are some insane skews in local markets where the number is much higher.

But to directly answer you, if inventory is dried up, no one is listing, and the stuff that comes online is still priced like mortgage rates are 3 percent, that might kill off a large pool of buyer demand but those cash buyers are still the marginal buyers and bidding wars will ensue just the same. I'm seeing this at present.
I worked for what was technically an Alphabet company, and it was no different from working at Google. I was told, but never confirmed myself, that I worked for Google and Google contracted me out to the subsidiary. Maybe things have changed in the intervening 5 years since I was there, but this was something for the accountants and not something that affected everyday life.

Hiring a CFO from the banking industry did make it more difficult to get the free food, though. The cause and effect there was immediately noticeable.
The 3090 I had was actually somewhat slower than dreamstudio.ai, but the nice thing was the set of python tools I got with it was scriptable so I could do things like create an image, use that as input for another one, and so on, then make them into an animation. There's a bit of tax with initializing python and loading the ML model with each iteration, but if I ever get my hands on a 4090 I'm sure I can solve that.

The ADA is not the law of the land in Israel unless something changed drastically recently.
When my parents were in school, they hand wrote essays and used type writers. Correcting a mistake meant rewriting an entire page! When they needed to research something, this meant spending a day in the library manually searching for quotes/citations. When I was in school I had a rudimentary spellchecker, Microsoft word, and Wikipedia.

Now a grade school student has access to grammarly. In a few years they’ll probably have automated fact checks and text generation.

What will happen? My bet is that we’ll expect a lot more from students a lot earlier.
That's a bit of a stretch.

The point of the ADA and similar laws is to improve access for people with disabilities.

Does it increase costs? Yeah, it does. Are the costs "vast"? Generally not; it depends a lot on the situation.

Does it make life worse for people without disabilities? That's mixed. Those who bear the compliance costs get some disadvantages. However, lots of people who aren't strictly speaking disabled benefit from the accessibility and usability improvements of captioning, wheelchair ramps, improved light switches, grab rails, etc. Making your business/website/rental-apartment more accessible, even where it's not required, may end up making you more money as your clientele grows and pay for itself. And of course we all end up with disabilities if we live long enough; let's hope we all last to the point that we appreciate the ramps, larger text, captions, etc.
Odd thing to just go and declare without any actual evidence to guide your thinking process, so: you are genuinely about as wrong as can be.
There was a disabled guy in the Bay Area going around suing all sorts of restaurants and other places if they didn't have ramps.

Small hole in the wall restaurants couldn't afford renovations and had to just close, resulting in more Mc-chain restaurants moving in that can afford to play ball.

Disabled people need access, but I (perhaps controversially) don't think they need access to 100% of the things. I'm reminded of that article from a few years ago "hiking has an able-ist problem" because hiking trails weren't wheelchair accessible. We can't fix all the things for people in wheelchairs (paved trails up half-dome?) or people who are blind (should the trails have megaphones every 10 feet saying "watch your step here because there's rocks"?).
I work in radiology with MRI as a tech. We use AI slightly differently to the examples here, but it’s changing a lot of what we do. It’s more about enhancing images than directly about diagnosing.

The image is denoised ‘intelligently’ in k-space and then the resolution is doubled via another AI process in the image domain (or maybe the resolution is quadrupled, as it depends on how you measure it. Our pixel count doubles in x and y dimensions).

These are 2 distinct processes which we can turn on or off and have some parameters which with we can alter the process.

The result is amazing and image quality has gone up a lot.

We haven’t got a full grasp yet and have a few theories. The vendors are also still getting to grips.

We think the training data set turns out to have some weird influences on requires acquisition parameters. For example, parallel imaging factor 4 works well, 3 and 2 less so, which is not intuitive. More acceleration being better for image quality is not how MRI used to work (except in a few edge cases).

Bandwidth, averages, square pixel, turbo factor and appropriate TE matter a bit more than they did pre-AI.

Images are now acquired faster, look better and sequence selection can be better tailored to the patient as we have less of a time pressure.

I’d put our images up against almost anything I’ve seen before as examples of good work. We are seeing anatomy and pathology that we didn’t previously appreciate. Sceptics ask if the things we see are really there, but after some time with the images the concern goes away and the pre-AI images just look broken.

In the below link, ignore Gain (it isn’t that great), Boost and Sharp are the vendor names for the good stuff. The brochure undersells it.

> If Amazon is willing to host a c6gd instance in that slot for $X, they should be willing to also host a c6g instance there for $X.

The reality is that direct c6gd demand might be an order of magnitude lower than c6g direct demand - if AWS can get some more flexible people to adopt c6gd by offering a lower price, c6g capacity is slightly stabilized for on-demand usage by people who don't value the flexibility.

Also note that c6g to c6gd has a non-zero switching cost - extra NVMe on the instance adds a new source of potential hardware failure, increasing the probability of termination very slightly. There might be other software-related costs depending on whether your application makes any ill-advised assumptions about attached storage during setup.

So overall, I would just be happier to read this article if it was framed as "PSA: having more features in an ec2 instance is sometimes cheaper! Don't rule yourself out of extra savings by making overly-constrained fleet requests." The extra commentary about foregone revenue makes too many assumptions and detracts from the core point.
Agreed. Exactly my point.

These tech platform marketplaces are willing to do lots of AI/ML hocus-pocus & throw bodies at things like targeted ads, onboarding new suppliers (drivers/landlords), whatever helps their KPIs, etc.. but not on following the law/rules. That is because it would reduce sales, knowing that they are implicitly allowing illegalities on their market places.
> I don't see how relabelling "collapse" to "separation" and adding more or less infinitely proliferating universes solves the problem.

MWI isn't just renaming the collapse. Copenhagen is fundamentally different in that exactly one outcome is somehow chosen / selected and all others cease to exist. In other words Copenhagen has to add / invent some information: Which world to pick and when to do so. MWI simply avoids having to pick by continuing every branch simultaneously and recursively.

Meaning that MWI is actually a simpler theory and shows that the selection is unnecessary and all problems that come with it can be avoided. In that sense, the burden of proof lies with Copenhagen IMO and it just gives handwavy answers that the selection process somehow involves a conscious observer, whatever that is ...

> MWI also contradicts itself. Supposedly the universes are independent, but if their influence doesn't define the wave equation they do nothing to help explain it.

In MWI the wave function IS the integral of all possible outcomes / worlds / branches. In that sense they don't just influence it, they define it. Not sure how that is contradictory.

Btw, the same goes for Copenhagen in the state of super position as well. So, they are identical up to the point where Copenhagen selects one (collapses) and MWI simply carries on.
Each wafer has only one layer of transistors. They then have many layers of wiring on top. They go through semiconductor manufacturing with one layer of transistors.

For each layer of metal, they go through several steps of deposition of insulator, masking, etching, deposition of metal (often in several passes now), grinding or etching that, and then covering it all up with more insulator and grinding that layer down to produce a smooth surface for the next layer.

Once the chips are complete, 3D stacking is a packaging process. It involves grinding the backsides of the chips down until they are very thin and attaching the dies together using vias that run through the thin remaining silicon layer.

EDIT: Flash memory today has multiple stacked doped silicon layers, but it is a special process that is largely unsuitable for logic.
