Last time in 2009, they took three years of advance premiums from its member institutions and operated the fund with a negative net balance. So it's unlikely that FDIC will go bankrupt.
"Enjoyed" ?

If only 75% of people could pass that math course (I'm a bit dubious) that still leaves 25% that can't. But we don't think of those people as not "Generally Intelligent" so the bar must be something easier?

My guess is also that you need to have some sort of test that isn't math. Maybe writing essays, which GPT-x is pretty good at.
My respect for this website just went down a lot. God knows how many alternative views I’m missing because of this censorship.
I think it's more mark to market vs "par" value trickery.

SVB had plenty of assets at "par" value or held to maturity value.
But it was insolvent if you marked those to market.

So FDIC is letting First-Citizens buy the assets at closer to their true market value. 20% loss.

That's my understanding but it is kind of a distressing conclusion. SVB had no enterprise value, and the outcome we're getting is financially the same for FDIC as if they just firesold the assets and did a pure winddown?

It isn't.

It isn't hard: I've built several Serde impls for Rust that handle JSON-api and JSON-LD setups (for a.o. ActivityPub). It's just an Enum and a type with some logic to parse one or the other. An if/else isn't hard.

And it certainly is not the reason AP hasn't taken off. For one, because AP has taken off, and secondly because of all the reasons it would potentially not have taken off, the underlying dialect of JSON is the least of all concerns.

Aside from actual health issues causing others and leading to weight gain, diet and exercise is indeed the cure.

What is toxic is being offended at the very serious suggestion of eating less, especially when you flow it up with how bad being obese is for the rest of society.

You can feel bad for someone's plight without bending over backwards to pretend it's not curable by simply taking in less calories and moving more.

My sister had several miscarriages due to a thyroid medication she took. Once she stopped she carried to term, but gained weight.

She changed her diet and began working out, and has now been a certified personal trainer who specializes in obese clients for over 15 years.

One of her major stipulations for clients is mandatory caloric intake journals and meetings with nutritionists.

She despises above all else the coddling and mental gymnastics people will go through rather than make impactful changes.

We need to treat adults as such.

As others pointed out, this is just a fallacy. Physics (as well as Math, CS, and all other disciplines) is full of non-linear, chaotic problems that are way too hard to solve, so academia doesn't like to teach them to new students and even experts aren't delighted to deal with them, because it's frustrating that we can't solve them (in a "beautiful" and "elegant" way). My own hot take is that Physics is stuck on a theory of everything for the last 100 years, because we are stuck on some fundamental limitations what Math is able to model.

I think it's interesting how indoctrinated we've become with regards to the necessity of work.. It's not like life HAS to work.. Humans are pretty much the only animals that do that, and while there have been good reasons for it.. It's been pretty artificial for a long time..

Before the industrial revolution, people dreamt of the machines coming to take their toil away, to free them to play and enjoy life.

At some point we got lost in our toil and it became our identity and life, we started to live to work.. And now many have been so acclimated to this existence that they cannot even imagine how life could be wonderful without constantly having to work to survive.
I agree regarding the older jets like F-4. But e.g. F-15, F-22, MiG-29 or B-2/21 look great. Interestingly, the newer F-35 less so (it's a bit "chunky").

I'm confused how the Doppler shift is measured in the case of the continuously modulated frequency? It seems both range and Doppler shift are encoded in the reflected signal - how are they separated?

Edit: or is it the case that a full period of the reflected signal must be detected first before Doppler can be calculated?

I left Windows in a hail of Vista bugs, over a decade ago. I've seen it get worse and worse in that time, both in UX rot and anti-consumer "features".

This will indeed allow faster chips, because reverse lithography used to be so slow that it was only used for the most critical parts of a chip. Now that it is more tractable, RL can be applied to many more parts of the chip. That will allow designers to better optimize the layout in those other parts, which leads to faster chips.
I had to set initial passwords for ~100 users of a computer system.

I chose two random dictionary words for each user.

I had ~5 complaints that I had deliberately picked an insulting password for a user.

It turns out that two totally random dictionary words is offensive a surprisingly large proportion of the time.

Eg. 'tiny boots', 'hairy moustache', 'gray face', etc.
The usual way HTTPS client auth works is to issue some sort of persistent access token that then ends up sitting on the filesystem without any sort of additional protection, or alternatively to just fall back to username and password without any kind of MFA. It's somehow even worse than the SSH situation. The use of x509 client certs would be a huge improvement here, but I don't know of any git hosting services that support that.

What I'm saying is that knowing how words are related to each other is probably the same thing as "understanding" the underlying concepts.
For example, knowing that "queen" relates to "king" as "woman" relates to "man", captures at least something from reality.

Author here! As some comments mention, there are other approaches that could make more sense.

The aim of this proof-of-concept was to showcase how BPF enables the kernel to be programmable. Many behaviours can be retrofitted without having to submit changes upstream. In some cases the overhead may be lower than using other methods (due to avoiding context switches, etc). Even if you decide that the changes can be useful for the broader community, the new feature can be first implemented in BPF, where it’s faster (and safer!) to evolve it.
I get your point, but you're making my head spin here from the sea-sickness involved in being asked to acknowledge that all viewpoints are equally valid.

People care about human-like intelligence. That's the point. We also care about trading and physics. But when we talk about the specific question of human-like intelligence (and not other kinds of intelligence), the human reality is the appropriate substrate. Acknowledging, of course, that for non-human intelligence there might be other substrates and also acknowledging that non-human intelligence can be valuable to people.

But let me take your argument to the extreme.

In classical machine learning theory, there's a proof of the value of bias. Bias plays a crucial role in guiding the learning process. If all hypotheses are considered equally possible, learning becomes infeasible due to the lack of any preference or constraint on the hypothesis space. Bias, in this context, refers to the inherent assumptions a learning algorithm makes about the data's underlying structure. Introducing some bias into the model allows it to favor certain types of solutions, thus narrowing down the hypothesis space and making learning feasible.

The logical extreme of your argument---if I understand it correctly---is that all machine learners are equally valuable. For example, an AI that learns a domain that is completely removed from all human values and thus we would be completely agnostic to and ignorant of, ipso facto, because it does not pertain or relate to us at all. In which case, who cares? By "who", I mean people. No one. By construction.

[edit: I'll give an example here. Let's say I randomly pick a corpus of images that are pure noise. I induce an algorithm to model that noise. That model will learn something valid but in a domain completely divorced from anything with human impact.]

So if we can acknowledge that some forms of learning are more important, merely by virtue of the fact that humans have preference, then perhaps we can perhaps wend our way back to agreeing that human-like intelligence is one valuable kind of intelligence, in addition to other valuable forms of intelligence like trading or board games.

We can play the game all day of "everything is subjective" and "up is down and black is white", but at the end of the day, for human beings, it's night.

> Consider OP's shortcuts for Firefox, Finder, Typora, & iTerm.

Why would you consider them? Make your own and stop at the X number of apps where it becomes confusing. Also, for the top-5 most frequent apps the F=Firefox is irrelevant, you'll remember any combo, so just pick the most convenient (e.g., home row keys), the cost of training the muscle memory is almost none. The infrequent apps can be hidden behind a chord, but then that is best achieved with visual cues (you can use system notifications for that with goku or even better KM app for better UI)

Re. launching Firefox - you've missed the huge part of the switching-to-firefox workflow (it's not just launching the app, the same key switches to an existing app), that is very frequent and definitely worth a shortcut (even though, see my other comment, KM is much better for this task)
Your comment seems to suggest the answer is no, and that LLMs can indeed learn sensory-grounded information, but it's just orders of magnitude less efficient to train them on text rather than on multimodal data.
The article isn't saying anything about the quality or lack of quality of functional programming (except for disputing the unfounded 10x better claim with actual data).

The article is saying that irrespective of how good or bad function composition is, it is just one kind of connector ("glue"). And we need more than one.

Why did you use Chat GPT?
The thing you are failing to understand is that your statement of “generate a random real” at each step is meaningless because each such step cannot be guaranteed to terminate.

Which means the generator function you have been espousing this entire time is in fact just as much symbolic fiction as the symbol of pi.

Consider the while loop,

while (1 === 1) {
print “Step {step++}”
}

Though clearly an infinite process, each step within the loop clearly terminates and has a loop index. That is, we will see “Step 100” printed, “Step 9999999”, etc given enough time. In a sense, countable, for a particular definition of countable.

On the other hand,

while (1 === 1) {
print “Step {step++}“

random_real()

}

This, your favored generator, is not guaranteed to ever print “Step 2”, because at step 1, it might try to print pi, which is a fiction that will never terminate and become real. Thus not countable.

See the difference?

The actual truth is these companies were running in the regime of "we can afford to just throw manpower at projects". Everyone was just trying to gather up people to fill roles. Playing conservative in this regard was looked down upon - "you can't predict what the economy is going to do, and what if the competition just ends up hiring more people and they end up winning big?" .

Now its the exact opposite - "other companies are downsizing to conserve costs. If we keep people, this could come to bite us in the ass because those companies can be ahead financially".
For when one would come across a constant jerk - how about the usage case of putting a stopped vehicle into motion? You gradually push the accelerator or throttle from zero to maximum at a constant pace - that's increasing the acceleration linearly (ignoring friction/drag), thus constant jerk, which the occupants will perceive as a smooth start. This probably doesn't often get solved numerically, but it's something you do instinctively do.

Natural language doesn't NEED to be precise- that's what theory of mind is for, to allow efficient inference of meaning from objectively-ambiguous communication.

It's not perfect, but LLMs appear capable of making the same kind of inference, sufficiently that it'll inevitably be possible to program in natural language sooner or later with minimal or no manual double-checking

My husband has Parkinson’s disease, he is about 63 years old it was diagnosed 2 years ago. It was getting more difficult to live for him, because of stiff muscles he couldn’t even move. Mirapex and levodopa medicines were given, but didn’t give much relief. He couldn’t eat food without choking. I thought this might be the last stage and the medications he was given did not help at all, so I started to do alot of research on Ayurveda treatments, I was introduced to Health Natural Centre and their Parkinson’s Ayurveda Protocol. He started on the Ayurveda Treatment last year, his symptoms gradually diminished including his vocal cord spasm, Muscle Weakness, Tremors and Difficulty with swallowing. Reach them at naturalherbscentre.com , he is getting active again since starting this treatment, he is able to walk again ( down the street and back ) he has also resumed exercising to strengthen muscles!!
