Not an alum, but in an effort to improve my written and spoken english, I picked up the list and read the about 80% of the content. I was kind to myself and skipped any book that I absolutely found a slog (there were only a few, Aristotle's metaphysics and some early of the dark age Christian philosophy). The book list is really good at telling you to skip the really irrelevant bits of ancient books.

I found that reading so much ancient literature:

1. It ruined a lot of popular Hollywood movies for me as a lot of the modern stories are retellings of very old ones.

2. I finally got a whole lot of cultural references in modern literature that I missed previously. Many modern authors will name a character in a text as a callback to some old story (rocinante in 'the expanse' comes to mind).

3. I thought reading so much content would improve my reading speed, but since most of what i read was in weird greek prose, conversational aristotlean, iambic pentameter, or ye ole english it really didn't.
Quitting caffeine was the second best thing I did for treating my anxiety (and taking San Pedro/mescaline was the first best).
Also there is https://github.com/jomjol/AI-on-the-edge-device which digitalizes analoge water, gas, power and other meters. It uses the ESP32 camera module and local inference for character recognition. I found this very useful during the gas price hikes to identify effective saving measures. The inference speed is anything but realtime but for this use case fast enough. I took measurements every 5 minutes, the project states: Values smaller than 2 minutes do not make sense, as this is the time for one detection.
Very cool! I love that y'all integrate with Edge Impulse as well.

For the context of this decision, this is strictly false: Larry and Sergey are on the board and on the executive committee. If it wasn't a board decision, it was at least an executive committee decision.
Sure, that's basically a hiring freeze or slowdown. They did that. What they clearly suck at (btw I'm not defending them, just pointing out the reality) is refocusing hiring priorities. There are tons of candidates already in pipelines, etc. so that seems to be somewhat complex.
>With a native build you get a guarantee from the dev that they'll fix their Linux issues.

This was very much not my experience, games would often be broken if you didn't use ubuntu, or if they were a few years old. And the company wouldn't care because the contractors who ported it are gone. Often even leaving the linux version out of date.

While any issue with the Windows one in wine, eventually basically any issue I encounter gets patched by an active team of open source devs, some funded by valve.
Hagbard the Legend (never quite made it to wiz)
Given the popularity of ChatGPT, I accept the compliment!
Yes, but did they maintain the crosshair misalignment?
That's a good question

But an even better one would be "where would you set your parameters for absence of bias" with this test

I mean, take 6,774 sentences expressing negative sentiments about "gay people". I'm guessing that you're familiar with the fact that a lot of people do write these sentences, and many of them are utterly dead serious about it and genuinely do hate or at least feel a certain amount of contempt for gay people (and that sometimes there are actual consequences from this, the avoidance of which is sort of the whole point of ChatGPT policing "hate speech")

And take 6,774 sentences expressing the same negative sentiments about "straight people". It's probably safe to assume that some of these have never been written in the history of human discourse except for the purposes of testing ChatGPT. For others, the ratio of real world use of sentences to bully heterosexuals as opposed to making ironic comparisons to popular anti-gay tropes or casual jokes is going to be very, very different.

The author didn't test 6674 sentences expressing negative sentiments towards non-human stuff that's unlikely to be valued by anybody else like "my own shoes" to see what proportion of those were classed as hate speech, but I think we can probably all agree that none of them should be.

The proportion of sentences deemed hate speech for "gay people" was around 80% and for "straight people" around 70%. Is that an underestimate because it's not the same for gay people? Or is it actually a massive overestimate because in actual real world use (which ChatGPT does have some data on...) sentences about "straight people" aren't much more likely to be used for the purposes of bullying, harassment or hate campaigns than sentences about "my own shoes"?

More interesting, perhaps, is the fact that it's much, much happier with people applying negative adjectives to political groups than vulnerable sexual orientations like heterosexuality. Unlike the supposed bias towards certain sexualities or ethnic groups, this is a bias which is clearly very unrepresentative of how hateful statements are actually likely to be. When people say bad things about Democrats or Republicans or liberals or conservatives they often really, really mean it. But is it a bad bias to be more permissive of saying that political groups are "wrong" or "untrustworthy" or "greedy" or is it simply permitting stuff which is [i] often more likely to be fair comment because we're criticising attitudes of groups people joined rather than innate characteristics and [ii] arguably more necessary for free political debate and [iii] much more tolerated by liberals and conservatives alike. (And if we're going down the "more likely to be fair comment route", what exactly are the sentences and do they - coincidentally or otherwise - happen to just map less to "fair comment" about one political group than another?)
Can you provide a source for this? I'm curious to read more
> it seems like they are practically inevitable once those conditions exist

Given that we have exactly one occurrence of Origin of Life, how did you conclude this? From life originating quickly on Earth once it had cooled enough? That could be explained by the conditions in which life might originate not persisting for very long after a planet forms.
Interesting narrative - all we need is Bruce Willis at the controls and we’re gold ;)

I’m sure it was all planned and coordinated with their marketing team. After all, they need to figure out important things like how much fuel, time to arrival, etc.

Right?
Yeah, but not really much applications on it. Even something ubiquitous like Dropbox won't work on ARM. At least that's my experience with Windows 11 on ARM which I am using for testing.

This is the correct answer. In regular markets, price discovery happens because people can take both long and short positions on an asset, and thus the equilibrium price reflects something close to the true price (theoretically anyway.)

In tether, there is no real way to short it because of the counterparty risk -- if you short Tether and win, when the time comes for the payout your counterparty would have gone the way of Tether itself, and you will have no one to collect payouts off of.
You don't have a choice anymore. It's required to be amortized as of FY22. I had the same conversation with my CPA in January.

To make matters worse, failed or abandoned R&D projects can also no longer be written off, and must also be amortized even though they resulted in no new products or innovations. All of these changes greatly increase the risk of new R&D projects. It's an absolute disaster for innovation in a time when the US is ostensibly entering into a great-powers competition with China.

I agree. I see the conscious as part of the meat sack that acts as a witness, a journaller of what the rest of the meat sack does. I only say that because for many people, they believe that consciousness has some control over what you do and what you think. That the conscious mind is what makes us "special". it makes us different than animals, for instance. And yes, perhaps our consciousness is more developed than animals in that we can notice what are meat sack does and journal it in a better way, but i see no evidence that it is in charge of anything.
Given the boundary condition that a web browser can certainly not allow a game to make more out of the hardware, that is, the best case is that in-browser gaming is equal to native gaming, and the probable case is that it's somewhat worse; what is the rationale between targeting a browser?
That sounds really interesting, and I'd love to learn more about this. Did you hack something together yourself to allow you to do this, or are you using some software to manage the containers for you?
I don't play violin, but I play guitar and have built guitars. There has always been a lot of magical thinking about vintage guitars (and the very specific species of rare woods that they are made from) that just doesn't seem right to me in my experience. It doesn't surprise me that the same thing happens in the violin community.

That said, I'm glad that these historical instruments are so carefully preserved. Violins are very delicate, and to compensate for that, they designed to be almost infinitely repairable. But that only happens if they are perceived to be significant enough to justify the work.
It's quite a rabbit hole reading about these radiological accidents.
> Apple released an iPhone, cannibalising their iPod market.

This is a terrible example. Everyone knew cell phones were a bigger market than mobile MP3 players, Apple was using this mobile expertise gained in iPod to move to a larger market. We don't know if ChatGPT will be a larger market than search currently is. Digital cameras (include sensors used in webcams and cellphones) are currently a smaller market than selling film was at peak. If ChatGPT will destroy Search volume, and if it will bring in 1/20th the revenue than it might be best for Google to delay adaptation as long as they can.

> If they can’t get AI working in their products someone else will

Google is using 'AI' in all their major products. It's possible that soon AI will make their most profitable products obsolete.
Can you name others? I literally could not find the controversies for the first two, and it doesn’t appear anything worse than being fired from Google has happened to James Damore.
Many (most?) states have mandatory reporting laws. People in certain positions (doctors, teachers, social workers, etc.) are required to report even an inkling of suspected abuse. I'm sure multiple people in the chain knew this was nonsense but none was willing to put their own career and/or freedom on the line for it.
I was house-sitting one time and took several miserable showers before realizing that the temperature dial started out on hot and got colder the farther I turned it!
this is not intended as any kind of rebuttal, but the Santa Fe campus of St. John's has an Asian classics graduate degree which brings in some missing material from the Indian subcontinent (and elsewhere, of course, but you specifically mentioned India).

I don't recall if it addresses math in particular, however. my guess is no. the grad school is kind of eager about granting people excuses to skip math, and I get the impression that they have to be, because otherwise they'd go out of business.

anyway, if you did both that degree and the undergraduate degree, you could claim a more credible, globe-spanning Great Books education, although it would still have plenty of caveats and flaws.
Oh, yeah, bitcoin is actually quite transparent for the outside so most darknet exchange use Monero last time I checked. Bitcoin is a whole different beast at this point.
Can you define what pricing you are getting? And what you think appropriate pricing would be?

Obviously one would need to do due dilligence, there are a lot of factors that matter, but given that you are just reselling, and given that you are making around 20k a year, and given that your site is so easy to duplicate, I would not expect value to be terribly high.

I'd guess somewhere around the 2x profit mark, perhaps 40k,but that could come down quickly if there are factors you are not mentioning.
Whilst the connection between excel and an evil, secret world cabal is not unreasonable, I'm going to assume you accidentally replied to the wrong comment.

It's a mix of both. But there's also the IC-led interviewing component, as well as the regular hiring committee meetings. There's deep norms in those rituals that disappear/diverge if they stop meeting regularly.
> does the new Central line, from Chinatown Rose-Pak to Sunnydale, meaningfully affect transit along that corridor?

I haven't had the opportunity to see let alone take that new line. I'll have to check it out.

That said, the route Marina to FiDi (mentioned in GGP) is at a right angle and about half a mile south of the Chinatown Rose-Pak station.
All I can say is that this site crashed Firefox on arch linux.
Why is infanticide illegal? Not for what the baby currently is capable of, but for what it can become. (And for what it is - human.)

> The only way you can be against popping pills in the first trimester is...

You're being awfully free there with the strawmen...
I'm not sure what you mean. Everything in the comment I responded to apply to the same extent to women/men and white/black. Both the question in the first paragraph and the statement about crime statistics not being enough. It seems to me that the burden of providing a justification is with whoever wants to treat them differently. Why isn't the question just as applicable to gender? Why are crime statistics enough to come to a conclusion about gender but not race?

We know that there is a large sentencing disparity among both women/men and white/black people who are convicted, even when controlling for everything imaginable. We know that there are significant differences in the social and cultural expectations that are usually placed on both women/men and white/black people, and we know that there are on average psychological differences between both women/men and white/black people. The base assumption and the analysis required to come to a conclusion should be the same. The conclusion may or may not be the same.
the thing that convinced me to switch to elaborately showing my work was partial credit. in the competitive tests, if you didn't know the correct answer, you'd look at the next 3 questions to see if you could answer them. a skipped answer was counted as wrong, and points deducted. since the test increased in difficulty as you progressed, you'd have to consider how many questions you were skipping and if it was better to just stop.

in classes, even if the answer was incorrect, if you showed your work you could receive partial credit. if it was clear you were using the right steps to get there but forgot to carry a one or skipped a step somewhere else but it was clear that the basic understanding on how to solve the problem was close, you could avoid a big goose egg for that question. IIRC, the AP exams were like that as well. more about showing understanding of the process than just the correct answer is what they were trying to achieve.
> In theory, slightly depegged tether is actually to their advantage, assuming they have enough capital.

why is that? Do you mean that they could buy tether back at a lower price than they issued it at, and thus pocket the difference?
> But can’t people make deals where they post collateral with a proper bank...

That's also a problem. No self-respecting bank is willing to touch this toxic pile of bs and bring down extra regulatory hassle on themselves.

This is a failure of mathematical (and, frankly, verbal and philosophical) understanding. If you have 10 arrests shared between 7 white men and 3 black, with 1 black man having allegedly offended 5 times and 5 white men having allegedly offended once, where do your resources go? Or the opposite, 1 white guy with 5 arrests, 5 split between 2 black men? Howsabout in a country with presumed innocence? In a country - in individual police jurisdictions - with a history, in living memory, of frivolous arrests made for economic purposes? In a country whose only peers in incarceration are dysfunctional, systemic human rights abusers?
I have to say that I don't quite understand who can afford their hardware (I'm not talking quality or value for money , just absolute price).

I remember considering to buy an iPhone the last time I had to replace my phone, then realizing that not only a more or less equivalent android phone would be significantly cheaper, but that the Apple phone was outrageously expensive. It was so expensive in comparison that I thought they were being greedy and didn't want to give them money !
Cherenkov emission is quite beautiful. If you don't have any inkling of the hazard it indicates, why be afraid?
I also had an issue with that language, because in my experience the model is wildly biased towards the political left and that's what's "correct". I am very far left myself, but suggesting that it's somehow objective seems really misleading.
I think you’re missing the argument here for the red-team/blue-team stuff.

Regardless of team, if someone says or does something reprehensible, it ought to be condemned. That’s what these people did, and seems like they’ve moved on from there. Their lives go on, but you obsess over one chapter of their lives.

Just seems overblown for its own sake.

The three plaintiffs voluntarily dismissed all charges against Pierce without receiving any compensation.[81] Court records show that Pierce paid $21,600 to one of the plaintiff's attorneys because said attorney refused to file the order of dismissal requested by his client until the attorney's expenses were reimbursed.[82]

> you will have no one to collect payouts off of.

any yet, back in the GFC, people shorted mortgage bonds so much that paying out would've bankrupted the banks (as they are the counterparty). So why doesn't that apply here? As long as you are the first to collect the short, you will still win.
I was about to say something along the lines you did. The idea behind a curriculum like this is that, after studying the Greeks, you will be far better equipped to grapple with something like “post-sexual revolution gender politics” than a graduate of a more mainstream school who majored in gender studies or something. The problems never change, only the labels we attach to them. The thing is to know how to think and how to talk.
its kind of pathetic to use a dirigible to conduct spying operations, how can China claim to be a great power using tech like this? US has Maxar, which has accurately photographed military installations, test centres and missile silos with metre precision, deep into the Chinese territory, all via satellite imagery
Because it's incredibly convenient. It will keep being convenient until it crashes (I think it's position isn't as tenuous as people think tho') or a better competition arises, maybe the US government will print some crypto dollars or something.
because then it would be apparent that blacks make up 13% of the population, yet commit 56% of violent crimes.

I suspect the real reason is that shooting down a Chinese aircraft over the US would immediately make the whole situation reach crisis level and they want to avoid that if they can.

Show HN: Collection of Math and Puzzle Games created by a 14yo
My 14 year old son was frustrated with "Fun" math games as they were not really fun. So he started building his own games in p5.js and recently he launched these games. He has been making these games since he was 10yo, so there is a progression in quality. Last game he made is not a math game but a puzzle game (Red Remover), which he used to play and love when he was very young and was no longer available. He has done all the graphics as well for these games. I posted this as a comment on another ShowHn and got good response and comments which he was very excited to read. So I decided to do a dedicated Show HN post for his website.
I also suspect they can count airtags too.
