That's right: the "collapse" interpretation is an approximation.

You can derive if from the MWI. We already know that the "worlds" separate and almost completely cease interacting. The interactions decrease to the order of "two to the power of Avogadro's number" almost immediately. The collapse interpretation rounds that to zero (at some arbitrary point).

To make that more concrete you have to add a term to the equations, making it theoretically testable, but it's remarkable that anybody could manage to test it in practice. It's clever to use a neutrino detector -- something designed to measure ludicrously small amounts of interactions.

I don't think anybody is surprised by the results, just that they could get any. The un-physical arbitrariness of the cutoff caused problems from the get-go.

I was going to say that it doesn't make MWI any more palatable, though I suppose it does. They've detected the other branches, albeit in a very indirect way. They're real. But they're just as inaccessible as they ever were.

You still need the concept of decoherence to make it work. The unstable equilibrium can't hold for large objects. That's both mathematically and physically sound.

Micron and GlobalFoundries are both building new fabs in New York. GF is looking at a new fab in an existing facility at around $1.5 billion. Micron is building a whole new facility for DRAM production, around $100 billion. Micron is also building a $15 billion plant in Idaho.

The US government passed the CHIPS Act that invests government money heavily in securing new domestic semiconductor investment. The state of New York and Onondaga County are investing heavily, too. The county is putting $10 million into Syracuse University and $5 million into its community college for research and education around semiconductors.
What size is the company? For a big company, just prevent merge to main unless approved by another team member. Set up pairings, like Junior<-->Senior reviews. The junior reviewer will learn a low from the senior coding style.

For very small companies, ask yourself if you have time for code review. If you do, great -- but sometimes you are all just burning the midnight oil in those 1-5 person companies just to KTLO. Maybe do with less frequency if company is tiny and doesn't have PMF.
wow yeah I also had a very specific activation dose which was 20mg, although I definitely did feel better on the lower doses too, but something definitely happened after 20mg where things felt black and white different
Just looking at commit frequency in the main branch, and activity on the relevant RFCs in GitHub issues. I have no visibility into what’s going on at Meta of course so it could just be there’s a lot of currently internal development, maybe there’s a lot of work going into a different branch at the moment, or maybe they’re waiting for things to happen in torch’s RPC support, I’m not sure. Or it could be they’re just waiting to release what they have as a beta in the 1.13 or 1.14 release?

I’ll note that checking right now there was a commit 15 hours ago, but the last commit before that seems to be 28 days. So some work is still going on at least, thankfully :)

It's interesting that the same houses that rented for $18/month in the 1880s, rent for around $1500/month nowadays, albeit after a lot of modern renovations.

Which after factoring in a qualitative improvement of 2x, suggests that $1 in the mid 1880s is worth $40 today.
If there's a $150 cleaning fee? Not really. Sure, I'll throw a few dishes in a dishwasher and run it. But it's not like I'm staying in a friend's condo for free.
I bet someone on Hacker News can set up a website that mirrors AirBnB reviews as they are posted. This would prevent revisionism.

Professor here --- I really need a tool to detect this. I have a student whose text always have the same faulty patterns: circular sentences, paragraph that do not sum up, etc. The problems are consistently the same, and even in purpose this cannot be imitated. I think there is a machine behind.
I had a chuckle at this. Good this is happening. Kids spend too much time on that anyway and most of it is bullshit. Sure if you had some great success we need a verifiable way to show it (maybe a resume). But this whole “oh look what great things I plan for the world” is nonsense. Hopefully it’s a thing of the past soon.

When Babelfish came out in 1997, I used it to do my French homework, while attempting to fix up when it didn't quite get it right or used an idiom that didn't translate to French. My friend did the same and we were casually warned to stop "whatever it is" we were doing after a couple of weeks ;-) It turned out it was a lot safer to let Babelfish read French than to write it..

As a bit of fun, I recently scanned my daughter's homework and threw it into GPT-3 and while I didn't let her see or use the end results (if she had the idea to do it herself, that's her call, but I find the younger generations are not as computer savvy as the media would like you to think!) it pretty much nailed it without me having to do anything else. It's definitely going to cause changes in the educational system in a way that Babelfish certainly did not.

We took the low-hanging fruit, and by low-hanging I don't mean it was easy to do, just that the next steps are much harder. Preventing most viral disease deaths, reducing the workload of laundry, energy, and food production, increasing the feasibility of sex without pregnancy, developing calculating machines and communication devices. Now the problems we have to solve imply deeper systemic issues and reversing our inner logic, such as consuming less or corralling vast pools of resources in a collective way to avoid the tragedy of the commons. Saving further labor time implies developing systems that can perform most complex tasks on their own that require humanlike cognition.

In addition, the West is gradually losing its relative first mover bonus from industrialization and colonization, which results in a sense of hopelessness as the living standard corrects towards the mean. People nostalgic about the 1960's style of tech optimism are forgetting the global living situation from that time and the historical bubble those people lived in. People didn't have more rights and opportunities because tech was more optimistic, tech was more optimistic because the surplus was such that it granted additional possibilities for a short while.
Ahh, I thought XM was a US only company but they apparently only cover US and Canada.
Don't most UK universities let undergraduate students resit exams they've failed, within reason?

And a degree consists of a good number of courses, each of which will have its own exams - so if you do poorly in one or two exams, there are plenty of chances to bring your average back up.
Forget about the nitty gritty of how it works, I didn't even know this was a thing until today. Lovely article :-)
I have a couple of work relationships with people who don’t provide any verbal or physical cues that they’re listening and following what I’m saying.

It probably doesn’t help that we are having these conversations via Zoom, but I interact with other people via Zoom, and I don’t have this problem.
Yeah I would love to see references to studies that attempt to categorize these disparate use cases you’ve described. On the one hand, there does seem to be a clear demarcation between an interface that’s facilitating information creation and retrieval versus ones that facilitate more artistic endeavors such as photo and video editing. On the other hand, you have use cases like Autocad which seem to blur the lines.

As someone who's recently been working on an implementation of CSS Grid, and reading through a lot of CSS specs, I completely agree. There's a lot that isn't in the specs. The CSS Grid one isn't even that bad, but the spec for "flow layout" (block and inline) looks like a complete mess.

An HTML5 moment for CSS would be very welcome.

Container queries is a big deal in my opinion! This has always been an obstacle for designing responsive components - they only respond to the size of the screen so designing them for use in different places in your app is difficult.

But the implementation they’ve chosen with named containers is not my favorite. I’d prefer one that is simply based on the parent component or the closest component with a container attribute set; this would work better alongside tools like Tailwind and CSS-in-JS.

Edit: Nvm after reading more, it looks like the container name is optional and the default behavior is what I described - excellent!
> Please reject M=1000 today.

This is infeasible, and what does it mean to reject something in a written document?

I don't understand what you're trying to accomplish here: you're arguing against an established convention in a sector of the market which you don't have experience with.

The upside if you're successful is that I don't need to type an additional 'M'.

The downside is that it requires enforcing a blanket standard on an industry, rather than letting it converge over time to an unambiguous standard.
Interactive 3D Data Exploration of the Current Housing Market
OP Here. When I started out, this blog was going to be one paragraph and it turned into data journalism that has an interactive 3D globe which shows housing prices, and interactive charts that refine data. Along the way, I refined the blog so that it also teaches data analysts how to use real, recent real estate data to create their own charts in Python. Happy to answer any questions about what I put together.

That's correct and led directly to the US Navy's doppler-based Transit GNSS that operated from 1961 until 1996.

With a massive caveat, it wouldn't scale.

While anyone can go into khan academy and learn/perform any subject, having an actual person would be tremendously costly. It's strange, when computerized education appeared I thought the cost of education would plummet, now its going to go all the way up.

> For example, sometimes you'll be saying something in English to a Japanese person. They have no idea what you're saying, but because they're such good listeners, they're saying "yes, yes, yes" to everything you say (because that's the translation of hai, right?). At some point, you ask them an important question: "Do you want to join my Starcraft2 team?" They say "yes" not because they want to join your team (they really don't) but because they have no clue what you're saying (and they're good listeners).

That explains a lot honestly

Leaving aside the fact that your two examples assess a pretty different set of skills, one has to deal with the reality that every teacher has many students. It's simply not realistic to expect them to do "a thorough investigation" of every student's style and "voice." Imagine you have 50 students across two classes, each turning in one of these essays. How long are you going to spend on each one? 5 minutes? That's 4 hours of grading time. 15 minutes? 12 hours. Now consider that most of your school day is already occupied with teaching, prepping for classes, office hours, and other responsibilities.

2. Go work for a research institute (may require (1))

3. Become a subject matter expert (SME) and focus on one area of the business

> I find myself finishing endless user stories but my technical skills seem stagnant

Well, you already aren't a pragmatic programmer then. You should be constantly learning, constantly looking for new and interesting work (internal or external to your employment). Engaging with your management to get put on the more interesting tasks.

Want an example of a pragmatic SME I knew? He was a EE, wanted to do software. So he bought a couple embedded dev boards and started learning. He brought in a demo to the software manager and said, "I want to be on your team, here's what I can do now." The manager was impressed and they moved him over to that team. He was truly a subject matter expert, and also pragmatic. Funny, no conflict between the two.
> Which, in practical terms, means losing money.

By definition no. In reality not either as you have to live somewhere - it might feel like your "investment" hasn't kept up with inflation but your next house hasn't gone up either so is actually good for the average person. Of course if you have a large mortgage the investment is small anyway.
What part of this is surveillance though? Within a particular Google Photos account the faces of humans (and pets) are identified and then labeled by the account owner. Google doesn't match faces across accounts, doesn't use the data for ads, and is doing effectively what a human could do by scrolling through the photos and manually circling faces with a pen.
Hate to admit I get this sometimes, check if your mic is muted.
If I'm traveling on business I mostly just want predictability. I might want somewhere I can leave my bag after I check out. I want to be able to get in at midnight if my flight is delayed.

Sure I like less sanitized experiences and I'll roll the dice a bit more on vacation--and it usually works out. But for routine business travel I'll do without the variables.
You sure?

For me, the most "open" a test was, the more I worried about it. Expecting students to remember everything on the test meant that it had to be easy.

The hardest exam I ever took was my final exam for Linear Algebra. It was so "open" that people could use matlab on a shared computer that was also projected to the entire class. Turns out, the best students in the class didn't need help on a computer, so it turned into this kind of mind-fuck where you weren't sure if they got a different answer than you because they were wrong, or because you were. To add to the excitement, the questions all tied together and used the answer from the previous one, so if you missed one, you were guaranteed to miss every subsequent question.
And being laser-focused on a particular market/model is a critical part of any early business succeeding.

I think you had a different experience. My experience with essays most typically was to choose your topic, research and write an essay. The standardized tests did usually ask you to choose from one of three topics, none of which was usually something you were enamored with, but that did force you to change from your comfort zone and adapt to situational necessity.
why do you need a tool? if its crap writing give it a crap grade and move on.

No evidence is provided. I'm curious whether the author actually has evidence or is just asserting that this is possible and likely happening.

IME, and I have lots of "E" (including training and finetuning my own models), this probably isn't entirely true in most writing-heavy courses. You can use the largest language models, in an interactive fashion, to generate portions of half-decent papers. Maybe even "ace" papers on certain subjects with certain grading criteria (namely, "looks reasonable", not "fine-toothed comb"). But in many courses the essays will be extremely low-quality, and even in the happy cases saying that the essay is "machine-generated" is eliding a lot of manual effort.

I agree that students are probably using LLMs for their homework, but I'm skeptical that they are all getting As on assignments that are designed as big assessments, or that the essays are actually fully machine-generated. I bet a lot of students -- the laziest ones -- are getting "WTF is this essay even about... did you have a stroke while writing this?!" feedback if they are using LLMs to generate essays whole-cloth.

Pedagogically, this matters. Think about calculator usage. There's a huge difference between allowing use of TI-83 on Calculus assignment with lots of word-heavy application problems and allowing use of Wolfram Alpha on a Calculus assignment that's "integration recipe practice".
Until a very short time ago there was a widespread idea belief mutual trade stabilizes relationships in addition to all kind of other nice stuff. Now, that belief has shattered, and it seems to apply only when the participants of the trade have somewhat similar attitudes regarding e.g. democracy. Of course, it takes a while to leave your old loved ideas, but I think that here in the developed countries it would be time to start a real and serious discussion regarding trade policies with countries that are not happy to pursue democratic governance. (Yep, China is the big elephant in this room)

If it's the latter, it generally comes back, but you might need to change job or workplace.

Over the years I've worked plenty times 84-94 hour weeks for months at a time, but that was project work with a foreseeable end and in a fully catered mining/construction camp or offshore where they made your bed every day for you, meals on tap etc etc.

But a few times I had to do the same hours close to home and going home every night, and it just killed me, the overheads are all yours so a lot harder, plus family don't get you have no free time, because they can see you.

So, it's not just the hours, it is also the structure around them, if there is actual light at the end of the tunnel, and so on.
