I've been electrifying the heating of our house bit by bit and I'm probably in the target market for your product. The big killer for direct-to-consumer here is that the refrigerants used are environmentally hazardous and most of them are greenhouse gas producers. Making it so that you don't need a licensed professional (who will charge you an arm and a leg for something that should be simple and end-user safe) would go a long way to drive adoption.

What refrigerant are you using?

Will your device require internet access? (if so it is a non-starter for me, I don't want any of my appliances connected to the internet and to have some stupid service grafted on).

There was a time when if I went to a room in a MUD with a long text description, scrolling that text would cause the MP3 I was listening to to stutter.

Of course that was 25 years ago on a Pentium 133, I understand things are better now.
One of the most horrifying social media pages I've seen was an influencer who billed herself as a "trans activist" and documented every moment of her trans daughter's life.

This poor kid was 8-years-old and attempted suicide on a regular basis. Every time she tried to kill herself, the mom would document the gritty details, post pictures and details about it online (and of course get massive likes/shares by well-intentioned folks wanting to "raise awareness"), and request donations for her "activism."

That girl will never be able to "pass" as female due to her face/identity being plastered on social media as a trans kid. She also will have to live with the horror of millions of strangers knowing the gory details of her trying to shove a knife into her wrist, chugging Tylenol, and having complete mental breakdowns at school that required emergency medical intervention.

My gut instinct also suspects the girl's poor mental health has a strong element of Munchausen by Proxy. It is bizarre for an 8-year-old to know that Tylenol and wrist-slitting are both preferred methods for suicide, and to act on this knowledge.

Despite all this, the mom was clearly raking in donations, and collecting thousands of comments about what a "hero" she was for "bringing light" to trans issues. The horrified comments by trans individuals were always buried at the bottom of posts.

The entire page felt like thinly-veiled child abuse, but there isn't anything in Facebook's code of conduct that could be used to stop it. And Facebook of course had no incentive to address the content--the page had millions of likes and was surely a great source of traffic/profit.

I would love to see policies in place to restrict this sort of child exploitation. I am all for freedom of speech on social medical platforms, but blatant exploitation of children in exchange for money is a special sort of cruelty that should be reined in.

Trust me, Windows 10 with WSL is just great in a lot of ways - I just found myself really shooing away Windows as an OS platform, but I also saw that it came a really long way compared to 10 years ago.

I would say the hardware on Mac is what takes it the extra mile for now, if Windows laptops end up catching up, it will be an interesting fight to watch.
SVB was not insolvent before the run on it; any bank in the world can be driven out of business by a bank run based on nothing but rumors.
I heard it put more succinctly as "schema on read" and "schema on write". "Schemaless" is really "schema on read" - you're making some assumptions about the structure/values you're reading out, and you plan to take specific actions based on those. "Schema on write" is... create db/table/column defs up front, and force the data adhere to that schema, so that when you read it out, there's no question about whether it conforms to expectations or not.

Per the article you linked to, yes, there's always a schema. When/how you decide to verify the assumptions about the data is the question.
I worked at a place where people tried using Docker to manage Python and wound up with a bunch of twisty little images that were all misconfigured in a different way. (E.g. default charsets that I’m not sure anybody uses.)
What are the use cases for that, though?
Cost to train this wouldn't be very high.

A regular CPU can generate or train about 2 words per second. 52,000 training examples of an average of 300 words would take 3 CPU months. And it is fully parallelizable.

And you can probably make it go far faster on a GPU.

Yep.

> They are almost certainly migrant children who need the money because they’ve been placed with guardians who themselves are barely getting by

s/migrant/poor, but otherwise I 100% agree.

Kids from poor families want to be able to help with money if they can. Their contributions do help, too, and I don't think that's a bad thing in most cases.

Growing up poor, realizing your parents' financial situation, working hard to contribute to it, and then busting your ass to build a live that's better than your parents... that's the American Dream that I knew growing up. It's also the story of the vast majority of successful local entrepreneurs that I know in my local area.

I don't want that to go away. I think it's an important part of our culture.

> or are exploiting the children by making them work off a debt

I'm very confident that this happens. I don't have a good feel for how often, but I doubt it's even close to the majority case. I'm sure it still happens, though, and that's something that I fully support aggressively stamping out.

I don't know why people are mocking this discussion. It's well documented that tight loops on CPUs can cause electromagnetic interference. Old timers with C64s will recall how it could affect the TV monitor output "fuzziness" and nearby AM radios - heck, I could even tell how a program hung by the sound it made.

More and more I'm buying larger ticket items either locally or at single-focus retailers (like B&H, Adorama, Sweetwater, Ohio Power Tool) where there's better customer service as well as far more knowledgeable staff and customers (reviews from seasoned pros, not shit-posts based on an inability to figure something out).

Oh and fraud is clearly a growing problem as well. Last summer I needed to buy an SSD replacement for a 2015 MacBook Pro. I tried three times on Amazon and had to return all three. Paying 60% more to buy direct from OWC ended up being the right way to go.

No.

- The FDIC's risk is distributed across many bank balance sheets

- The FDIC is collecting insurance premium on these deposits

Structures like this have existed for decades.

[ETA: I've just seen a good bit in the WSJ that such structures do abuse deposit insurance, since they allow large depositors to avoid inspection of bank liquidity. So maybe I'm wrong.]
Absolutely. I keep saying to people "it doesn't matter, everything is fast now".

Gigabit fibre to the home, NVMe that is way faster than RAM was not that long ago, CPUs in phones that make old desktops look like toasters.

The disconnect is that the numbers feel huge in comparison, and what my computer can do for me really, is not hugely different.

I feel like they would not be too niche, many AI researchers I know complain about the amount of RAM on a single GPU, especially the ones they or their labs can afford.

Very often multi-GPU training is maxing out RAM on each GPU and isn't making full use of compute capacity.
We don’t use neural networks because they’re a priori the most accurate models of physical processes. We use them because they have two interesting properties:

1) They’re arbitrary function approximators.

2) We have a great way of fitting them to data (backpropagation).

As an aside, it’s just an accident of nature (or is it?) that neural networks have passing similarity to biological systems.

Anyways, it doesn’t make much sense to try to reason about what a neural net is doing inside. What it’s doing is trying to approximate the function it was trained to. That’s it.
Thanks for the input. I've shared it with our Product team. We’re actively exploring the specifics of how this experience will operate for a range of use cases.

We do this as well, specifically #1 we do through apple's private shared albums. It's quite good, we've got a big chunk of the family on there, so people comment as I assume they would on Facebook. This has assuaged their (proud grandparents) urge to post photos on their other social media, I think. I'm not on Facebook so I'm not positive what they are doing on there, but the banal comments that show up in the family feed remind me of why I'm not.

Yes, the "health insurance" industry funded backlash during 2010 against Obamacare was most definitely "projection" in the classical sense. They most definitely did that for private plans - by recission (kicking expensive people off the plan) or simply the "pre-approval" BS where they keep expensive people but decline specific (and possibly needed) care.

That's the only way private health insurance can both cover (most) in a cost effective way AND be profitable for their hedge fund masters.

>We performed a blind pairwise comparison between text-davinci-003 and Alpaca 7B, and we found that these two models have very similar performance: Alpaca wins 90 versus 89 comparisons against text-davinci-003.

TBH the code behind generative stuff is "fairly" simple, I made a GAN for my Masters degree back in 2019 that produced 16x16 tile assets for x-bit styled videogames. The rough part is CREATING the math that supports the learning models, its very easy to implement it after the fact. If you have a strong data structure foundation, and are decent with math then it shouldn't be a hard transition to pick up ML. It's the flavor of the year and everywhere you look schools are hustling for your money, can't say I've tried any of them/have an opinion of them so GL with that.

This becomes a curse if you practice it too often. Yes, if you strain your ears during cymbal crashes, you'll hear warbly bits in compressed audio, especially if that's all you're looking for. And then you'll start hearing it everywhere. In terms of casual playback, it's not terribly important, and if you don't tune your ears, it won't matter. (Lossless is important for archival copies though, IMO)

My favorite/worst example of falling into this trap occurred for me when I was mixing an EP by my band. We had terrible recording equipment, so I was trying my 22-year-old best to carve something workable out with EQ and panning and whatnot. On the kick drum, I wanted the 'click' of the beater hitting the head, but it accentuated this squeak that my pedal made every time I hit it. I spent a little too long trying to cut this squeak out, to little avail. It was like an icepick in my ears, but no one else in the band could hear it.

Later that day, I got in the car and put in a CD by the band Cake (this being the early 2000s) - one that I'd heard countless times. On this playthrough though, clear as day, I heard the squeak of the drummer's kick pedal.

I switched to pure electronic music for weeks just to cleanse my palette.
You know, streaming isn't really just getting bits across the wire intact.

For one thing, timing is important. A simple example would be getting video in sync with audio. You could go deeper and manage timing for speakers side to side or front to back. It would get lots harder if a microphone was introduced - then latency would be a big big deal.

These sorts of things are probably why bluetooth isn't used as much with a/v systems.

No, really. A lot of people just want to show off kids to family and friends, and don't think about the repercussions of making it public on Facebook. The bulk of kid pics post there are not exploitation by the poster, they just don't know better than to trust zuck with photos of children.
If I'm gonna invest in a heat pump for the long term, I don't want it committed to any software technology that may be obsolete in 10 years. I want it to use something so dead stupid simple that anything in 50 years can still operate it without a lot of work.

The simplest example I can think of is MIME (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MIME). It can be embedded in basically any transport type. It can encode anything you want (binary, UTF8, etc). It is very old, stable and well-tested. It is fairly trivial to implement a limited instruction set of.

Transport security, authentication, authorization, etc, are nice, but not nearly as important to me as a future-proof interface to my heat pump. Give me the option to enable an admin port and just run a single unsecured connection with a basic dumb text protocol, and I can hack together a client in 30 minutes in any programming language. It's not fancy but it will work forever.
They just compared how the responses were rated by human evaluators. No benchmarks
Thanks for the feedback. If you feel comfortable saying, what region are you in? I think where you might start running into friction is if you want a heat pump vs a furnace. There's a lot of variation between local markets in terms of heat pump install competence.

> In theory, yes. In practice, the circle has been continually expanding with technological progress.

Only if by continually you mean in sum. The holocaust and the genocide that have come since were pretty huge back slides and the tran Atlantic slave trade was a fairly new innovation in scale and kind even if slavery had existed before. Both of those seem if anything enabled by technology. And certainly the rich and powerful are unlikely to to kill absolutely everyone else, but I thought earlier you were arguing that AI would see the end of the rich and powerful.

How far away can the condenser be located from the air handler? Does it have to be outside or can it work in a garage? Also, how do I determine the size of system I need? Biggest problem with our current nat gas furnace, which isn't a fuel problem per se, is that it isn't zoned (which I can alleviate somewhat with the ecobee and its remote temp sensors) so I am considering installing mini-splits in the bedrooms and downstairs room and having the main furnace for heating the living room and other areas as needed but I'd also like to move the main furnace off nat gas as well at some point if possible but I don't want a big condenser taking up space in the rear patio which is potentially where I could see your unit come in.

Department for Transport figures for the UK suggest an average of ~4 deaths per year by cyclists killing pedestrians since 2010. It is little surprise this number dropped during lockdown restrictions. I can't find numbers for hospital admissions, but I'd wager it's a multiple, and some of those injuries will be life changing.

I don't know why you think the employer of the cyclist has some bearing on the safety or otherwise of cyclists on pavements. It's illegal regardless of their job.

I can not grasp any reason why anybody would argue that cycling on pavements is a good and fine thing. I doubt you see my point that is illegal for a reason, should be more vigorously enforced and is morally disgusting. As we'll never agree with each other, we should probably stop now.
In the late 90s I was startled by a billboard in Germany which featured a dozenish naked boys, standing shoulder to shoulder and bearing all for the camera. It was an ad for a telecom, if I recall. Some of them had pubic hair, some were too young for that. Reading up on the legality of public nudity in Germany, I wonder if this would still fly today.
