> If you are baking at under 750F, you should really not use 00. It will never brown and you'll have much more luck with another flour.

Concur with the author that 00 is very different from other kinds of flour, as far as the result you get, but I like a blend of about 80/20 bread flour (usually King Arthur) / 00. Maybe up to 70/30, tops. You get a lot of chewiness and flavor from adding a little 00. Add too much and it'll come out far too floppy and seem under-cooked, at ordinary home-kitchen-oven temps, author's right about that.
Is that advanced degree an academic oriented one or industry oriented?

People on the academic oriented degrees tend to use them a lot. But industry oriented degrees tend to stick with textbooks. (By the way, yes, textbooks are the other kind where you can find wisdom. Normally in an easier to get, more condensed form, but of an older kind.)

About who selects the books, well, who tells you if a book is any good? Some have very radical untested ideas, others stick to older but proven ones. You decide what book to get.
Ghana, you were doing so well
Well, yeah, if you fly once a year. So don’t buy Clear. If you’re on 80 planes a year, maybe buy Clear. Seems an obvious implication of “a couple dozen trips a year”, but now I’ve said it expressly.

> Adding now that there is means testing excluding tens of millions from forgiveness makes it unpopular with voters as well.

Did the means testing become significantly more strict than initially proposed? I thought it was yearly income of 125k (individual) or 250k (household). The reason I ask is I'm not even sure if there are 10s of millions of hits for that let alone 10s of millions of hits for that that were also interested in getting rid of their student loan debt and then miffed. Doubly surprised this had any significant impact on how many voters supported the plan. But it'd all make a lot more sense if those numbers since dropped quite a bit.

Wait until 2030, but the main question is: What's the point? If an AI is capable of doing this, then it can also "generate" movies ad-hoc, so each movie is customized to individuals. I personally think that would result in so many alternate realities that the human race cannot handle.
I don't mean to be dis-charitable to your comments but it sounds like you're saying that people should use the currently bigger walled garden over the currently smaller walled garden?
More random studies I found interesting
It's an interesting point. There are private roads, and most that I've used have been on par with public roads of equivalent traffic patterns (mostly because people who put in private roads are the same ones hired by the government to put in public ones).

What's more interesting is if you take that extreme and flip it back to housing.

Imagine a world where:

You are banned from owning land or housing. There's a variety of options to live in, but limited by what the government decides is fitting. Then, a popular movement within government decides that a particular type of housing is not appropriate for society, and starts destroying all of those houses. Instead, they decree, the best and only type of housing that should be available are communes where everyone gets a bed but zero privacy. You're not allowed your own four walls, you have to share space with everyone.

It's so much more efficient! they decree.

Well, that's exactly what is starting to happen to roads in some major cities. Parking spaces are being removed in favor of expanding public transportation. Entire blocks are being declared off-limits to private cars to make them "walkable".

I'm not really advocating one way or the other here- my point is that it's kindof silly to compare roads and housing at such extremes, because the benefits and consequences of various polices are not directly analogous to each other.
After playing with chatGPT, I'm thinking one solution would be to have chatGPT be trained on all these scientific papers, and then we can just ask it any questions we may have. Obviously, any answers would be thoroughly vetted, but it may be able to drastically reduce the time from paper to wisdom.
There's always going to be that guy. The question is whether he builds his own shed or gets to design the whole skyscraper.
"Housing cannot be simultaneously affordable and a good investment."

Housing as an investment first and a place to live second is a disease. It penalizes the poor, new arrivals, and the young, transferring wealth from these groups to people who bought homes back before the disease took hold. This is not wealth earned by working hard or creating value. Instead it's wealth extracted by obstructing value creation to collect rent from a captive audience.

Most of those benefiting from this condition would never have been able to buy in today, but "I've got mine, fuck you."

Any place dominated by this dynamic has zero claim to any kind of liberal or progressive title. This includes the supposed liberal bastion of the San Francisco Bay Area, a massively distorted housing market that creates one of the widest divisions between rich and poor anywhere in the US. Places like Texas, Georgia, and South Carolina are more progressive than San Francisco because a working class person can afford a home.

Most of the country has this disease to some extent, but obviously there are a few hot spots that are particularly bad. I picked on SF because it's among the worst and also among the most sanctimonious, continuously holding itself up as some kind of progressive bastion while implementing what amounts to red lining on a massive scale.

Unfortunately I can't think of any solution to this problem that isn't painful. Either we inflate the rest of the economy until a loaf of bread is $15 but housing is reasonable again or we let housing collapse.
I will follow your example, lets see how much it was actually helping me. :)
Why are they waiting until 2025? "We know this stuff is bad, but just give us a couple more years to realize a full ROI before we stop" vs "Holy crap this stuff is bad, we're pulling the plug now"

I totally agree with this article. I have TSA pre, have several parties with who are willing to subsidize my clear membership (credit cards, FF programs etc.), and I get super pissed by the line cutting. Yet I refuse to join clear for two reasons. 1) I do not trust a private company to use and protect my biometric data (yes the govt isn’t much better, but that ship sailed when I got a passport/DL). And 2) I think it’s morally wrong to privatize access to federal services.

No, you are not getting this right, and these permissions are built into the WASI standard.
Apple's approach to collaboration is particularly embarrassing when you have tools like Figma that enable teams to work seamlessly across devices and platforms.
In the olden days they'd hire an accountant. Not the cheapest, but arguably the easiest.
That's how WASI is designed. You need to specifically mount a specific folder so it can be accessed by the module. The sockets support is not ready yet, that's the reason there's no specific limitation around networking.

For me, the most interesting part is the component-model. It's still a proposal, but it will allow developers to specify the permissions for other modules (libraries) a main Wasm module may use. With this, you can give access to a folder to a module and that module may call another one without giving them those permissions. In other ecosystems, any library used by the "main" logic gets the same permissions.
can you explain more about political inequality

Political inequality refers to the unequal distribution of political power or influence within a society. It can occur when certain groups or individuals have greater access to the political process, such as through campaign contributions or lobbying efforts, or when certain groups or individuals are disproportionately represented in positions of political power.

Political inequality can have significant consequences for economic policy and can contribute to wealth inequality. For example, if a small group of wealthy individuals or businesses have disproportionate influence over the political process, they may be able to shape policies that benefit their own interests, such as lower taxes or deregulation, at the expense of the broader population. This can lead to policies that favor the interests of the wealthy and contribute to increasing wealth inequality.

Political inequality can also lead to a lack of representation for certain groups, such as lower income individuals or minority groups, which can further exacerbate economic inequality. This can result in a lack of support for policies that address economic inequality, such as progressive taxation or social welfare programs, and can hinder efforts to address wealth inequality.
The combination of ham and pineapple on a pizza can be very tasty because the sweet and tangy flavor of the pineapple complements the savory and salty flavor of the ham. The combination of these two flavors can create a delicious balance on the pizza. Additionally, the texture of the pineapple can add a nice contrast to the softness of the cheese and the chewiness of the ham. Many people also enjoy the way the flavors of ham and pineapple interact with the tomato sauce and cheese on a pizza. The combination of ham and pineapple on a pizza can be a delicious and satisfying choice.

This is really impressive and demonstrates capability comparable to Tesla FSD.

I've been a Comma enthusiast for years now, and it's so impressive how they've been able to consistently stay 1-2 years behind Tesla in terms of capability, all with a tiny team. I think they have only 15 engineers or so.

I wouldn't be surprised if they totally catch up to Tesla, unless Tesla changes their approach.

The main difference in their approaches is that Tesla is trying to use vision to build a full internal 3D model of the world. Detect every cone and load a cone into their virtual model, detect every lane line, detect every road sign. Load them all into the virtual model. Then do planning in virtual model space.

Comma is just committed to full end-to-end planning. "In this situation, what would a human do?". They don't try to build this intermediate virtual representation.

The advantage of Tesla's approach is it's more introspectable and debuggable. You can see why it made the choices it made. The downside of this approach is that doing planning in virtual space with a path planning algorithm results in a very mechanical driving style that does not feel super natural to the passengers.

The advantage of Comma's approach is it feels much more natural -- after all, it's doing what it predicts a human would do in each situation. Another advantage is their data engine is just a ton simpler. This is partially how they get away with having so few employees and making such a good product. The disadvantage of the "pixels to pedals" end-to-end approach is it's hard to tell why a model did something. "Because that's what the neural network thought a human would do" is not a super useful answer.

It is possible you could build an auxiliary neural network that took the hidden activations of the main neural network as input and tried to extract "thoughts" from it, e.g. "this neuron always turns on when there is an obstacle in the lower right field of view".

Something I love about Comma's approach is it allows them to just add more sensors and data sources over time. Like how to add the full navigation following part of self driving? Just stick a convolutional neural network to look at the image of the nav screen, as if it's just another camera looking at something.
There's an easy solution if the law is truly intended just to prevent unlicensed pop-up repair shops - just ban unauthorized _commercial_ repair. In fact, that's almost certainly already prohibited by regular residential zoning. It's obvious this law is written as broadly as possible with the intention of allowing selective enforcement.

Agree, textbooks are very underrated. The three blue one brown guy had one of the best tips for textbook selection that's been extremely helpful for me. He suggests that textbooks by single authors are the easiest to understand and in retrospect that matches with my experience. Multiple authors tend to refine the work to the point where it's 100% correct but explained in a way that only someone who is already an expert would understand.
I don't buy it. There are so many ways to solve the problem that wouldn't add significant weight, that there must be some ulterior motive. And there is.

porn isnt the issue - its porn sites that are the problem. the features of those sites are, like facebook, designed to keep you engaged as long as possible, and are designed to keep a user going further and further down the rabbit hole of kinks and fetishes. this is a lot different from the magazine or vhs porn media in the 80s/90s, or the theaters in the 60's/70s, or even the pre-facebook internet up til 2011.

Anything other than a privacy coin isn't anonymous, it's pseudonymous. Carrying out illicit transactions on a public ledger is akin to just sending your transaction history to every investigative service on earth: the FBI, NSA, CIA - and abroad of course, the PRC government. They are now, or will in the future, just run it through automated deanonymization tooling.

To borrow an expression from Nicholas Weaver, crimes on public ledgers are just prosecution futures.

A master's degree in computer science can be a valuable asset. While it is true that AI technologies are advancing rapidly, a master's degree in computer science can still provide a solid foundation in fundamental concepts and technologies that are likely to remain relevant for many years to come. In addition, a master's degree can help you develop advanced skills and expertise in a particular niche.

Moreover, a master's degree can also benefit those interested in pursuing academic or research careers in computer science.

Also, it is important to note that a "degree" or a "certificate" is just one factor. Other factors, such as your technical skills, ability to work well in a team, and problem-solving abilities, will also determine your success in the industry. Lastly, going to a University can also help you network with your peers, which is helpful in the long run.

whatever that means.

I bring it up as it was my experience as a renter whose quality of life (not investment value) was substantially impacted when I lived next to people who were operating a quasi-legal home auto repair shop. I think it's unfair to assume that anyone asking where a line should be drawn on what someone can do on their property is carrying water for faceless, inhumane capitalist corporate investor-vampires, or whatever. And BTW, doing whatever you want on your property at the expense of the neighbors' quality of life or investment value? Kinda antisocial as well.
Interesting, didn't follow on that so I don't know.

That's my point - there would be never a discussion about saving bankers in 2008 if there was capitalism, capitalism rejects ANY intervention into free market (except maybe anti monopoly laws). That only proofs that it is not capitalism here to blame - it is corrupted politicians that gained too much power through socialism in the name of "social justice" (which has so much in common with "justice" as "electric chair" has with "chair").
The first article does blame the consumer education and habits, which is funny. When a company bids on a contract from the government it is much easier and cheaper to collect the “recycling” and ship to China for pseudo-sorting and disposal rather than developing the infrastructure to properly recycle. Cheapest bid wins here in the US so it gets shipped out and the “uneducated” consumer gets the blame for the policy.

In the end how can you encourage someone who does not recycle to do so with this ridiculous reality in place? There’s a nice NYT article about it from a few years ago.
Google is developing a tool to decipher doctors' handwriting
Google is historically incapable of ensuring the left hand knows what the right is doing. That isn't to say it's an okay way for things to be. It isn't.

However, if I were to get into a disagreement with Google, and a CSR told me to "do a chargeback", I would assume that CSR was engaging with me in poor faith, because these megashitcorps have a penchant for completely banning people out of hand for chargebacks to the point where it's basically autonomic. It seems like something I'd tell an annoying customer to do if they were annoying me and I was having a particularly bad day, because doing tech support is a miserable and soul-destroying job.

Again, this isn't a justification/rationalization, because this isn't an okay state of affairs in my mind, but I generally expect that a chargeback means I am ending my relationship with a business. Perhaps the OP from reddit should adopt the same mentality defensively.
Where is the power dispersed? Typically bike frames are made of elastic materials which return the power that was injected through the deformation. If the power isn't returned, then the deformation was plastic and you have a bent frame, so that isn't really an option.
