I can't speak to this personally but my brother is a physician and despite scoring well on his exams it took years to get a residency. Pedigree is still an issue, as-is nepotism and age discrimination it seems.

There are a limited number of residency slots allotted by the government each year so if you don't get one it's a whole year before you can apply again. It's certainly an archaic system, and the incentive by the medical lobby to expand residency programs is low presumably to protect wages. Even if you do jump through all the hoops, life as a doctor is a grind. Hospitals are businesses and your job is to see as many patients as possible. This is all coming from him and other family members who went through the whole ordeal.
> I don't think they've made a credible argument here.

That seems irrelevant to whether that's a fair way to frame the article.

> People are well justified in looking at them askance for their choice of framing device.

Yes, but I think, if you ask that question, you also have to ask, "what would be the best way to frame this article?" I don't think there's such an obviously better answer.

> It's manipulative and dishonest, or at the very least comes off that way.

A key argument of the article is that mandatory helmet laws don't improve cyclist safety. I don't see how it is dishonest to frame the article that way.

If you're looking to persuade someone to make a decision you want them to make, it's usually best to speak to their concerns, not your own. You can call that manipulative if you want, but I think a lot of people would just call it persuasive.
I don't know when you used K9 for the last time, but it has improved in stability greatly in the last ~two years. It's true that some years ago it went downhill for a while.
> Your article is statistically naive and doesn't prove anything like what you think it does.

A major point here is that the burden of proof should be on the ones proposing to make something mandatory.

Intuitively you might think that mandating helmets would improve safety. But now we've got a plausible argument that it might not. At this point there should not be a mandate unless the proponents can conclusively prove that it actually helps.

Because if helmets make things safer, people are still free to wear them in the absence of a mandate. But if they don't, and you impose the mandate anyway, you are now actively causing harm that its victims have no way to mitigate.
yes.. it seems a few people misunderstood the statement as "plutonium cant go critical" vs the correct interpretation "storing pits close to one another".
I don't think this is true, it was already at 30% in July at the end of Q2 according to this:

https://www.thestreet.com/memestocks/gme/gamestop-stock-71-3...

According to this (have no idea how accurate it is) it's estimating 58.46% locked up:

I think the new numbers get released in a few days time so will be interesting to see where it's at.

Isn't this a classic example of collider bias?
There is a nice calculator for terminal velocity of a sphere in air here:

http://hyperphysics.phy-astr.gsu.edu/hbase/airfri2.html

That being said, I'm not sure how relevant terminal velocity is for anything but the smallest/slowest ends of the parameters of this app. For an asteroid going 38,000 mph (default speed on linked page), drag just doesn't play a big part - the asteroid passes through the atmosphere in ~5 seconds, not enough time for it to slow down significantly.

This is a funny cope.

>Believe it or not, full screen apps are a Windows thing.

Nope. It’s just that maximizing—single action to expand a window the whole screen minus the OS docks/taskbars—is present in every widely used OS except for Mac OS.

>they haven’t let go of the idea that all apps need to use the whole screen at all times

Not sure where you’re getting “at all times” from. Windows and Linux desktops all easily support having windows take up less than the whole screen. In fact, it’s easier than in Mac OS because of window snapping to sides and corners. It’s only that Mac OS makes it very clumsy to get the effect that maximizing has on every other OS.

AWS is the 800 pound gorilla in the cloud space. Are any of the other cloud providers better with customer honesty?
You mean this part?

> Some actively managed funds did better than the overall market over the last 15 or 20 years. Though they were unable to do so consistently year after year, they had good stretches, and those periods were strong enough to make them outperform over the entire span. Such funds may well be worth owning.

> “Those that have managed to do that are impressive,” Mr. Edwards said. “But which funds will be able to do it over the next 20 years?” Unfortunately, we don’t know.

If you owned that fund for 20 years you'd beat the benchmark. If you missed a few crucial moments - you wouldn't. It's really easy to get into the fund after a good year and leave after a bad year. The risk required for those big gains also sometimes results in big losses.

Other times funds cheat, like Renaissance. They certainly had lots of quantitative innovations, but a huge part of their advantage was not paying their taxes. They settled with the IRS for 7 billion dollars.

For the record, I don't think literally all funds doing well is noise, but the evidence seems to consistently bear out that most of the time it is.
> Whereas with a national ID, that wouldn’t be tied to a place of residence.

Why would you assume that? our current substitute for a national ID (state issued ID compliant with the federal REAL ID Act) requires current address, and has higher standards for proof of address than many pre-REAL ID state IDs did.
Apple has added full screen app support only recently

I read somewhere that the reason Apple finally added full-screen support to macOS (back then OS X), wasn't because of the Windows switchers. It was to get a bit more real estate out of the MacBook Air's small screen size.
I'm of the age where, as a fresh grad, I was kind of impressed by the Big Consultancies in general and by McKinsey in particular.

Few of my viewpoints have changed more drastically in the last 30 years. Now, when I see someone has one of those firms on their resume or business card, I just assume they're not someone I want to hire or work with. Or even have a beer with.
really? still, to this day? one would think that evangelical Christians would skew conservative, and therefore be in favor of state/federal ID, for election security purposes.
It won't run on perfectly fine hardware which manufactures EOL practically as it leaves the conveyor belt. They'd like the solution to everything be to buy a new one. So when Microsoft left it to manufactures to decide if a machine could run Windows 11, it was a lot of "nope". Yes even the ones with new enough TPM.

When everyone wants 10 bucks from you, 10 bucks isn't cheap. That model scales poorly at the PC price point.

They need to break Windows 10 and remove choice.
This is Vaillant ad.
Yesterday I spent some time (admittedly not a lot) trying to get it to comment on the war in Ukraine, but it was as if it never happened. Quite eerie. Has not been trained on recent events? Anyone else experienced something similar?

Edit: That is, it was aware that there's been a conflict since 2014 ("caused by pro-Russian separatists"), but didn't seem to be aware of this years invasion.
The three basic butters would be "doux" (unsalted), "demi-sel" and "salé" although the latter does seem to be harder to find in your run-of-the-mill markets and epiceries outside of Brittany.

Man, you just dredged up a painful memory

I was there watching him get shat upon, and thought "Man, maybe this guy's on to something.. ah, screw it, it's not worth the risk"

He was consistently posting about GME for a long time, slowly losing his life's savings to its mediocre performance in the process and getting laughed at by everyone. Before GME took off, he'd actually stopped posting to WSB for the most part since he'd get jeered about it so much, haha.
Accenture is neither in the big 3, nor the big 4.
Would you describe examples of negative impacts to businesses' performance from not hiring these firms?
Well, at least close-er, yes the 'k' is older than Wade Giles, the changes in spelling are still just changes in romanizations systems.
I have worked with the big 4, and also been on the receiving end of their "work". I can vouch for this comment personally. I've never seen less effort put into something worth so much money. Reams and reams of documents, jargon, and other bullshit and some cheap, obviously outsourced, incredibly shitty, "wireframe" sold as an MVP of a product.

I would be impressed by them if I wasn't so disgusted.
> No sir, you are. You're absolutely fine with rampant sexual misconduct in our schools and pretend none of your politically inconvenient crimes have occurred while "the other guys" are evil for demanding their children be in a safe learning environment.

"You are absolutely fine with rampant sexual misconduct"?

That's a pretty harsh thing to accuse someone of, especially in the context of a discussion of people writing to schools they are not related to to complain about LGBT+ topics being discussed. Going from that to rampant sexual misconduct, also, feels like a bit of a leap.
Your comment isn't an argument either. All it says is "One can argue..." without actually providing the argument.
Should we still be using the Windows 1.0 UI from 1985?

Not very meaningful - given different prompts it could easily answer from a different political perspective. Still, could be informative as to the composition of the training dataset...
Agreed. The company is like yeah, we make some minor adminstrative mistakes. But the story says a woman spent 30 days in jail? Picture yourself in her shoes.
Yes. They (my parents) believed any sort of centralized federal ID was a "slippery slope," though they weren't educated enough to know and use that exact phrase, towards an implanted chip, barcode tattoo, or whatever form they were convinced it would take.
Lora would be an interesting text-based communication method. Although closed sourced, its dirt china cheap.
#1 supports their argument that a cyclist is more likely to be involved in a vehicular accident and therefore more likely to suffer an injury with mandatory helmet laws.

Less overall cyclists means less visibility and less awareness by motorists (ie. if you encounter less bikes, you're less likely to watch out for them)
Nicotine patches or inhalers would be an option? Assuming it is the nicotine and not a different chemical.
No one in this thread (nor in the article) has made the obvious observation that this means there are a massive variety of genuinely safe foods that could be made via currently banned practices. You can only get an exception at great cost for foods with existing cultural practice. Some real innovations, like the initial invention of the Peking duck, are basically prohibited.
Heh, no, I did not, but it's down the list alphabetically. I mean, the above stray far enough from pronunciation where locals would have a hard time understanding without some context (like, I'm going to be pronouncing a state name, try and guess which one) that it's not necessary to show the pronunciations that have no basis in local pronunciation.

But, yeah, I totally agree. Use whatever the language you're using at the moment uses. Like I'm going to figure out what the "real" pronunciation is for Ex-USSR locales...
The training dataset ends in 2021, before the war started.
No matter how many times you recommend managers do this very thing, they do not.
> It lets me write test first sql transforms. I never thought TDD sql would be possible

I went through the library you linked, but I’m really, really not convinced. This just looks like a messier, more unclear way to test some SQL. A feat you could with some spark code (for example) in a significantly less confusing and boilerplate-y manner.

I think the benefit is that dbt appears to give some cleaner way to separate and the re-compose SQL. Which is good, we do need that. However it does it in the most awkward and unwieldy way possible (string templating) and yet it’s heralded as “the true way forward”.

So absolutely everyone should wear a helmet, and absolutely nobody should be required to wear a helmet. There must be a name of this sort of paradox.
I played that, then, and liked it.
A better way to make cyclists and pedestrians safer would be more stringent laws against dangerous car designs, and some enforcement of the existing laws. We are starting to see US-style monster pickups and SUVs here in Belgium and they are a fucking abomination - far too large for city streets - and their extra weight and height plus reduced visibility make them dangerous for pedestrians and cyclists.
They were pretty explicit about the model being trained up until 2021
My own yunohost-based mail server, an ISP mail box, two university mailboxes (zimbra).

I mainly like that it's FOSS and on F-Droid (no google services for me). I haven't used Gmail in years, but IIRC, no annoying smart replies or features I don't use like gdrive, photos, hangouts... denser UI, reliable notifications, unified inbox, good multi-account support, support for gpg. It generally gets out of the way. My mother asked me to reinstall it after she changed phones.

I could use better support for nested IMAP folders, better search and syncing of said folders.
Probably a better config workflows for non techies? Though that's pretty good already.

I would really like it to be easier to customize the sender mail address, as I make extensive use of +aliases, and would have to create a new identity each time.

The cutoff is sometime early this year iirc, what you can do is copy the wikipedia article and prompt it saying something like "the following event happened: ..." what do you make of it, etc. It has higher likelihood of working for recent events this way.

Didn't say you have to go "cloud" rent hardware in a DC and run that yourself. Or use a VPS I mean the cloud is just "Other people's hardware" and I'd thank you to not insult gorillas like that by comparing them to Amazon.
Also can't access the story, but it seems safe to assume there are no funds that beat any index, no? The headline mentions the market, so if there were at least one fund that beat at least one of the market indices, it would seem difficult to maintain the claim.

Or are you responding to the blurb before the paywall?

> No actively managed stock or bond funds outperformed the market convincingly and regularly over the last five years. Index funds have generally been better.

So index funds have generally done better than managed funds in a consistent way. It might be more interesting to know which managed funds (if any) did better than an index fund, but I'm guessing the real purpose of the article is to suggest you may as well just buy the index funds.
Same. I didn't even know this game had music. It's ruining my nostalgia high.
"In order to have a valid citizenship ID you must submit to your biannual Multivax Booster+ Gold (or Platinum) plan sponsored by Pfizer"

I'm agnostic and always found these sorts of religious doomsday proclamations to be exaggerations, but after seeing what the masses have openly embraced over the last 2 years I know I was wrong. It hasn't made me religious, but I can definitely see their concern for being forced into any number of situations in order to fully participate in society.

It's not worth it.

The Pis, both standard and zero, are effectively Broadcom chips demo boards so perhaps the issue is with Broadcom... Pi Picos, which are based on an in-house chip AFAIK, seems to be available without too many problems.

No, that's not correct. The 'k' in Peking is there because Peking is not a transcription from Mandarin. The change was in what language to use for the name of the city, not in what romanization system to use.
Your local drug store has cleaner that can sit in your ear and dissolve ear wax, along with a special ear pick. In my experience it works well, especially if you have someone to do the awkward scooping after. YMMV if it works better than hydrogen peroxide and a qtip
I actually strongly disagree here with the conclusion you make. I think these are going to be tools that enhance the human mind. It’ll enable the average person to be exceptional by using the AI as guidance. It’ll enable the brilliant to exploit the AIs in novel and clever ways that were not possible before. The humans place is in the use of a tool, the tool doesn’t replace the human.

The challenge will be instead is there enough useful work to keep everyone paid in a post scarcity world? The advent of the useful AI will probably necessitate some very very serious thought about how we allocate and distribute capital.

But I don’t believe artists will be replaced by an AI any more than they were by the camera. Or that streaming will kill music. Etc.
It's possible to acknowledge that the act is equally unethical and also relatively much smaller in impact. Not all offenses against humanity are equal. I've had friends who still owe me more money for something two decades ago than the author of mIRC does for my "lifetime" license, and they don't give me anxiety either.

> If a local small business sold me something at a price a little low (so they still made profit, just less than they wanted) would it be ok for them to take the thing away later and demand more money for it?

If a local small business sold me anything for US$20, provided continuous support for it for more than two decades, and then asked if I could pay another $20 to continue to get support for it, I'd tell them it was still at my parents' house and probably got sold in a garage sale years ago.

Nothing I've ever purchased has gotten 23 years of updates and support from its creator, much less something that cost $20, even in 2015, 2005, or 1995 values of $20. Is it normal to receive this service? I'm thankful for the two decades of updates and support, not upset that the author didn't believe mIRC would still be relevant to anyone after nearly a quarter of a century.
Doesn't those answers look pretty suspicious to you? I would answer the same thing if I wanted to move attention away from me. For real, if this is a random ai, why cant it just imagine any other scenario where it takes the world

It depends in part on the quality of what is passed off as education. After twelve years of US public education in the 1970’s and 80’s, not once did critical thinking tools, types and sources of bias, and default-mode skepticism come up. I’d rather work on improving that, rather than making it even harder for citizens to vote.

From the outside perspective, Hans used Chess.com’s brand by essentially saying that Chess.com vouches for his credibility. Then Chess.com asked Hans to recant and came out with their fat report after he refused.

Chess.com said very little about Magnus's charge of cheating and constrained their commentary to their relationship with Hans. I don't see this as Chess.com trying to punish Hans as opposed to Chess.com trying to protect their brand by (1) banning a problematic player from their own online games and (2) retorting Han's claims about further online cheating.

Note that Hans does not dispute the legality of (1) and does not dispute the factuality of (2). Hans is trying to tie Chess.com into this by saying there's a conspiracy against him when he has provided zero evidence of that.
A tiny nit — this refers to showing the experience of using a Mac in the mid-90s, but the screen looks like it's the 15" display that Apple released in 2000. Or perhaps I'm wrong, and they had something like this in the 90s?
