Write an analysis of the 2020 MLB baseball season

The 2020 MLB baseball season was one of the most unique seasons in recent
memory. The season started later than usual due to the COVID-19 pandemic,
and it was shortened to 60 games. This meant that every game was even more
important, as there were fewer opportunities for teams to make up ground in
the standings.

The Los Angeles Dodgers won the World Series, defeating the Tampa Bay Rays in
six games. It was a dominant performance by the Dodgers, who won all three of
their postseason series. They became the first team since the 2009 New York
Yankees to win a World Series after losing the previous year's Fall Classic.

In 2007 The Rays made an incredible run to the World Series, becoming just the
second team in MLB history to reach the Fall Classic after winning fewer than
40% of their regular season games. For the 2020 season they were led by their
pitching staff, which posted a historic ERA of 3.56 during the regular season.

Though this is at least a little potential than actual capabilities, since fact checking other responses to questions has shown problems-- correct facts in the wrong context, e.g. similar questions gave stats for a team that were correct, but for a season other than the 2020 one asked for in the prompt.
Oh yeah, totally forgot about the games. Instead of renewing shows, just dump money into games for you VIDEO STREAMING service. Because of course!

It's bad news if you own a home and the market falls and you need to sell.

Otherwise it's some opportunity cost (arguably) but you can continue paying your mortgage payments to stay in your house, and if you hold long enough it'll likely recover.

This is different from the last major crash because that time house prices AND mortgage rates both dropped so you could easily feel "trapped" in your underwater house.

Not really looking good for holding things below 2C degrees of warming. It's likely the limit will be passed so it's time to start thinking about mitigation strategies and not pie in the sky solutions with fusion energy. This is another problem that would be solvable with AGI, presumably we are on the brink of it so how is it that everyone is just making jpegs instead of solving the fusion energy problem with this impending AGI?

Any VC funds actually working on this problem? Or are they all still investing in SaaS products?

Everyone agrees that SARS1 was of natural origin, right? All of the same points you're making about Covid19 apply equally to the origin of SARS1.

First outbreak of SARS1: Foshan

Distance from cave containing progenitor virus in Yunnan to Foshan: 1,400 km

Doesn't anyone ask themselves why Foshan? Why not Qujing or Hanoi?

People don't take the location as some dispositive point proving the conspiracy because 15 years prior, a bat coronavirus from nearly 1,500km away infected an animal in the wildlife trade that started a pandemic in busy metropolitan area. So it doesn't seem especially unlikely for that to have happened again.
There's underlying capacity as well. Would you rather pay a bit more to get 100 r6g.4xl OR pay a bit less to have 90 r6g.4xl + 10 r6gd.4xl.

If a government wanted to encourage home ownership, it would either incentivize building more homes to bring down price, and/or give cash to people so they are able to buy. The latter option would require government taking from richer to give to poorer, or issuing new money, which is sort of the same by reducing purchasing power of money,

But what Vite didn't have to do anything because CSS already comes with nesting? CSS nesting was proposed over eleven years ago, and is only today finally making it into a single browser, behind an experimental flag. Three major preprocessing languages were invented and two of those (mostly) died off again in the mean time. We shouldn't need preprocessing here, we should have had nesting ten years ago =)
>Getting rid of the parking doesn't work because I've never seen one of them "self sufficient" to the point of most people not having to commute (either to there for those who work there or from there for those who live there). Even if you find a job and a place to live in the same superblock, people are gonna (a) want to have options to leave that job in the future and (b) know people outside of those blocks.

You won't be able to cause Kessler syndrome promptly. It takes a while for the collision debris to build up, and it takes a while for individual satellites to get hit. Space is big and even huge debris clouds will take a long time to hit something. It's not going to help your invasion next month or anything like that. Very impractical as a weapon of war, even if it was feasible which it isn't.
That is so dumb. I love it!
Homeowners care about "house price" because they're leveraged up all the various possible wazoos.

It can help the FBI nail someone they know is guilty, but is somehow made of teflon so the prosecutor can't prove it in court.

It's also handy for dealing with political opponents. Like imagine Occupy starts up again and gains real traction this time. The sight of its leadership being perp-walked into federal court can be real demoralizing. If the FBI has the ability to arrest them on procedural crimes any time they want, they could break up the entire operation before it poses a threat to the status quo. Do you think COINTELPRO actually went away?
Because you want to be insulated from the trouble renters can cause. Heating breaks at 7 in the morning on saturday? Time to call the landlord. They let mold destroy the bathroom? Better have insurance and now hire someone to take care of it etc.

There are two big forces pushing prices in opposite directions.

Prices will be pushed downwards by rising interest rates.

Then display it in the search criteria in the initial filter on the map view, instead of only when someone has selected the property and begins filling in dates.

It's a bait and switch by selecting which UI components are displayed in that search screen, and hiding the added costs ("service fee" and "cleaning fee").

Also, unlike a hotel an Airbnb host will give you a list of items to do upon leaving. And often passive-aggressively, "And it would be appreciated if you could put the towels and sheets in the washing machine for one wash as you leave so it's less work for the cleaning person" type commentary.

Just go full Idealism. All things that can be - just are. A block universe, of all possible things and all possible interrelation of things. A giant timeless crystal of qualia. It's pretty obvious to me now.

One location in the latent space of a latent diffusion model is a view into a universe that is as real as ours. That half cat, half dog monstrosity you accidentally created. It exists as a drawing, or as a physical mass of flesh, with every possible back story as to how it got there. And also every possible future.

Right, but... who has the onus to prove anything in a libel case? Does the defendant have to prove cheating happened, or the offense have to prove no cheating happened? Or... neither?

Or perhaps it's neither an something more like "an expert, with a lifetime's worth of domain-specific intuition, should be allowed to express an opinion based on that intuition"?
This article contains a logical error that I see quite frequently, which is the belief that something being anti-X is somehow pro better alternative Y. In this article, the author believes that writing that stimulates critical thinking and analysis would do a better job at preparing students than the current five paragraph essays that students typically write. They argue that the prevalence of text generators will force change in education from the current system to something better.

The argument makes no sense when considered analytically. There is nothing special about the factual five paragraph essay that lends itself well to text generators. Rather, the fundamental issue is that humans have discovered ways of training ML algorithms that can perform almost any task that a human can do. There's nothing stopping the creation of text generators trained to write any conceivable school assignment.

Cheating is only going to get easier and more sophisticated over time. This presents a serious issue that may require rethinking how students are evaluated in general.
> Drying up is as permanent as something can get.

Until it gets wet again, right? Both droughts and floods can have disastrous consequences. They're always news. If you're upset because you're seeing increasingly frequent reports of increasingly drastic weather extremes, it might be because the frequency and extremity of weather events are increasing. And even if we knew this was going to be happening for several decades, the fact that it's happening today, and the impacts of those events, are news.
No I think it is.
A broker leasing a unit on an owners behalf would immediately confirm the lease is in compliance.

Why does a technology platform get to automate & scale in a less compliant manner?

Yeah, I'm sure the code is kind of hard to write, that doesn't mean you can violate laws & contracts, because the code is challenging.

We have so many examples of these platforms disrupting locals & human jobs to automate & scale globally, while ignoring laws, regulations, etc. Just because its easier to make money assisting illegality doesn't mean it should be legal to do so.

Look at all the work Banks have to do on AML/KYC/etc to make sure organized crime, narcotics, terrorism and sanctioned nationals money does not get to use the USD financial system.

Analog circuits exist and are widely used in some applications including for stuff like inference in AI models. The issue is that they are somewhat inexact which is a huge problem for most conventional code. As for circuits which work in a discrete rather than continuous space, it's basically always better to just use binary to represent information because 2 states are the most easily separable. Once you have to start separating out more states things get more difficult and it's almost never worth the effort unless you're trying to do stuff like storage in SSDs.
I have a old ass GTX1070 and run it just fine, it's not the fastest but it works. A lot of these cases are just PEBCAK's and should just be removed from the internet, it's been made so easy that a literal child could install and use SD.

Well as long as they have a recent-ish NVidia card, rip AMD users.
Am I the only one who looks at the example color gradients and thinks the new ones just look... worse? The sRGB one is the only one that looks perceptually uniform, and is probably the only one I'd feel comfortable putting text on top of, and the bottom two have really aggressive and distracting banding. That makes this especially concerning:

>The default color space also changes to LCH instead of sRGB.

Since LCH is the worst one to my eyes.

It is an insane investment vehicle if you keep using the leverage and prices are going up faster than inflation (which is part of the problem).

Arguably they might not be going up much more than inflation once you calculate all the various new requirements for new buildings, but it's still a problem. In absolute long terms, housing can't become completely unaffordable.
What the numbers were 50 years ago is of little practical meaning in this context. The recent trend is exactly what we're talking about.

Not only does the recent trend show tenures declining, but it also shows home ownership declining since the peak in 2004.

So more job turnover and less home ownership does mean more likelihood of moving, whether to find new jobs or to work remotely.
I'm not sure about that. If Mary knows all the physics of light, she can design and set up a sensor to detect the color of the apple and the instructions, just like we have sensors that detect ultraviolet and infrared light. Just as we will never know how it feels to "see" ultraviolet light, this thought experiment is about Mary's subjective experience perceiving color, not her ability to determine the color of the world around her.
We perceived flat earth and geocentrism, so not the first time. I can recommend quantum electrodynamics to people who are too attached to corpuscular paradigm.
I believe it was even more than one game that had this problem. If the data would be stored in a file, then any kid would copy and edit it. So, it was put in shady places in the registry and other windows configs.

crapping on tables was arguably correct. flexbox and grid allow for responsive designs (work on phone and desktop). Table based layouts do not.
No. I moved from the Bay Area to a rural area, we have an entire tent city out in the countryside too. It's just way less visible and people are more understanding of it as the average citizen lives pretty close to that level. Lots of people pay a couple hundred dollars a year to park a 40+ year old camper/trailer on someone's land and can only afford to eat meat that they hunted for. People are SUFFERING and our politicians are fighting over if transgenders should be allowed to exist (yes, yes, human beings should be allowed to exist, now, about the crushing poverty leading people to hopelessness and escape into fentanyl in our district mister conservative family values politician, how about read address REAL social issues?).

Wait, we are in the aftermath of a recession? From where I am standing we are in the thick of it with a long road ahead of very uncomfortable economic pressures restricting personal upward mobility. What person is looking at a 20% increase in living costs, high interest rates, and houses that were priced for low interest and more money in people's pockets?

Reality is people can't afford the pre-recession prices, so they will rent and ride it out for a while longer which will put downward pressure on people trying to sell and the market will meet the demand that way.
Ask HN: Recommend a simple and modern webinar platform
Hi Community,
We run a tiny open-source developer community for whom we want to do some webinars. We are looking for a tool that helps us to create a webinar info page, send links, manage users - basically automate everything around webinars. Ideally, it is not very expensive, simple, and friendly.

Is there something you would recommend?
I don't really understand how it is worse for the average fan. It's worse for the average fan who might have won the lottery in getting a face-value ticket, but on average, the average fan doesn't actually get a face-value ticket even if scalping didn't happen, since demand >> supply, so nothing is different for them.

Generally, tickets sell out immediately, and then scalpers set the price. The average fan has very little chance to get a face-value ticket since they are gone as soon as they're released. You also have the situation where the average fan who gets lucky with a ticket then has to do the calculus of "I got lucky buying 4x$55 tickets, should I sell them $7k instead of going to the show?"
It's a fair argument that Ticketmaster's monopoly position could lead to extortionary fees with small artists. This is unlikely to be a factor with larger artists, and its wholly unrelated to the practice of dynamic pricing.

A monopoly is not required to do dynamic pricing. Airlines have no problem using dynamic pricing on all of their tickets, regardless how competitive the route is. Every major ticket seller is going to dynamic price. If anything, Ticketmaster is consistently undercutting resellers like Gametime in my experience.
What a sad project but amazing implementation and vision. Awesome!
Hey all, I (& many amazing contributors) built pyinfra! Crazy to see it on the homepage I’ll do my best to answer any questions!
Yes. That's what happens by default when you run the Asahi installer
No, because money has a time value, the break even rate will be higher because a dollar today is worth more than a dollar a few months from now. It by definition will cause the rates to be higher then they otherwise would be. This might be worth paying for to be guaranteed a high trust host. But that doesn’t the change the fact that the costs are shifted around instead of being reduced overall.
> Mutual trade absolutely prevents outright war

This was literally the theory that guided European (and particularly German) relations with Russia for the past couple decades. It was disastrously wrong.

Russia knew that the consequence of launching a war would be the evaporation of trade with Europe, and they still did it. They won't attack NATO because it's NATO, with overwhelming nuclear and conventional military forces, it has nothing to do with trade.
I think there is a lot of interest in your stories, if you would be willing to write them down and post them back to HN.

> Isn't Canada in an international news story for euthanising people to save money?

No. The medically assisted dying legislation was expected to have a negligible impact on healthcare costs. Its introduction was driven by the Supreme Court ruling that all Canadians have a right to a full life, and denying assistance forces people with degenerative conditions to end their life earlier than they would wish (while they are still capable of doing it themselves), to avoid being trapped in an intolerable state of agony in their final days.

The budget analysis done by the Parliamentary Budget Office was just the standard procedure for any legislation. It described insignificant cost savings (~0.03%).
