Pre-release this was a reason [1]. Not sure if its still a compatibility reason:

> There is also an option to let pandas know we want Arrow backed types by default. The option at the time of writing this article is partially implemented and has a confusing API. In particular, it's not yet working when creating data with pandas.Series or pandas.DataFrame. And for loading data from files it will only work when the parameter use_nullable_dtypes is set to True. For example, to load a CSV file with PyArrow directly into PyArrow backed pandas Series, you can use the next code:

> pandas.options.mode.dtype_backend = 'pyarrow'

How would you split Apple? How would you split Meta (would you start charging for WhatsApp)?
> For example WebTransport (an HTTP3 API) has been available on Chromium-based browsers for months, but it's still on

Perhaps because WebTransport is still not even anywhere close to be to a web standard? Perhaps because its status is literally, quote:

--- start quote ---

works in progress inside a W3C Group and are not required to have the consensus of the Group participants. These drafts have not received formal review and are not endorsed W3C.

These drafts MUST NOT be cited as W3C standards and may or may not become W3C standards.

Just because it's shipped in Chrome does not make it a standard that every other browser has to implement immediately.
Decent read: this.

Better read: the original paper demonstrating that prompting chain-of-thought reasoning elicits superior results. TLDR, give examples of working out the problem step-by-step, encourage GPT to emulate, and it's capable of solving challenges it would completely miss otherwise.

I've extensively tested framerates and times across a lot of monitors over the years. The 60FPS human eye limit is either incorrect, or the display of frames on a monitor affects how movement interpolation is handled.

After about 160Hz/FPS you start to not be able to tell the difference.

The difference between 60hz and 120hz is night and day.
The difference between 120hz and 144hz is noticably better,
the difference between 144hz and 165hz is very slightly better,
the difference between 165hz and 240hz is not really noticable,
the difference between 240hz and 360hz is imperceptible.
Maxed out Macbook Air 2013 here. Replacing the battery was surprisingly easy and cost about $30. I should replace the SSD at some point too.

I know they're talking about EMI and not radiated emissions but if even a tiny fraction of a fraction of the EMI does get radiated the widespread adoption of electrical vehicles will probably raise the noise floor in the HF bands significantly.

Good thing LLMs don't have any intelligence at all, since they lack agency. We're no closer to AI that can be meaningfully exploited than we were when Asimov dreamt up the positronic brain
To me the comment isn’t relevant.

It’s not clear China’s government actions are “really” for the purposes as that comment indicates…

>At a certain point we will move past scarcity, and maybe we won’t have to labor to not die.

Society seems to be globally showing very decisively that it wont allow that to happen. Productivity has already increased massively. Society could have already used that productivity to decrease the hours that each person has to work to survive. Instead, society's structure pushes those profits to the owners of the businesses that run the technology.

'Working class people must work full time' is still such a fundamental part of culture that it is literally the Federal Reserve's mandate to maximise employment.
Controlling browser + vpn - not a good idea.

i turst the tor browser because of the protocol it uses (the onion protocol), not because of the browser i use it with.
Even if mullvad is fully open-source and very transparent about it, i think it is not a good idea to use a browser and a vpn from the same vendor.
They have full access to your internet data, and they now (if you use this browser) full controll over the browser you use.

It's not user-replaceable. It would not be _that_ difficult for Apple to keep a SODIMM slot free, or even come up with a new standard - as they are wont to do.

Apple sacrificed upgradability in the name of making more money - it's as simple as that.

Eh, there's a lot of space for argument and deliberation in a courtroom, moreso than a hacker news comment section... This is a rare issue with an obvious fix, so I wouldn't expect a ruling to hinge on it. (Additionally, the Lott image doesn't have any real harm; it's heavily reproduced already and freely enough licensed to appear on Wikipedia.)

My guess is that because there's a lot of these cases coming the courts are really going to want to come up with some tests for whether a model is ok or not. So even if they say SD did a bad thing with these few images, that's not going to be enough to rule out the broader class of algorithms - next week they'll have another Getty case against the algorithm with the technical mitigation for the rare copied images.
That seems to be my experience. Sometimes it gives great answers, sometimes terrible, but it rarely gives any indication between the two.
Do not listen to these so called experts, they are the first ones that will tell you, if you have had early diagnostics things could have been very much different.

I never was attracted to the sport and maybe even had some unconscious biases towards fighters, but about a year ago my meditation practice brought me to try and confront the fear and aversion I had towards aggression. Long story short, I've been training Muay Thai for about a year and it totally changed my view on things. Everyone I've met at these gyms has been kind, welcoming, and exceptionally thoughtful. Training anything this difficult has a way of cutting down your ego. I only wish I had started 10 years ago.

Maybe the fans are different, who knows, but the people that actually show up and train I'd absolutely take as a friend or direct report. It's deep internal mind/body training.
I've heard of Percival Lowell. He should be a co-discoverer of Pluto.
Stop strawmanning. I already acknowledged Canada's system needs to be better.

Waitlists can be solved. A system that is fundamentally discriminatory can't.

I'm glad you got the care you needed, but in order for you to get that care several others were discriminated against and denied care. That's a failure of the system. No matter how good the care you got was, the system failed.

Couldn't be further from the truth. The fundamental difference is that you don't really control units in Settlers, instead you build the infrastructure and units get deployed and working automatically (if they can).

Why are the sketchy VPN providers capable of that, but not Mullvad?
Please give some examples then. I've found the GPT-4 version to be remarkably accurate, and when it makes mistakes it's not hard to spot them.

For example, I commented last week that I've found ChatGPT to be a great tool for managing my task list, and for whatever reason the "verbal" back-and-forth works much better for my brain than a simple checklist-based todo app: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=35390644 . But, I also pointed out how it will get the sums for my "task estimate totals by group" wrong. But it's so easy to see this mistake, and after using it for a while I have a good understanding for when it's likely to occur, that it doesn't lessen the value I get from using the tool.

A lot of cancers have no symptoms at the beginning, but they can be flagged in blood tests performed as part of general health checkups.
I'm not sure what part you are asking me to explain to you? They seem relatively self-explanatory.
Again, the idea that you should rely on any single source for information is the issue. Nothing changes with ChatGPT other than the apparent expectation that it is infallible.

Go speak to the kids and if the parents come out because you're speaking to them, awesome, now you can talk to the parents!
This has been my experience since I first went from windows to mac. People always talk about the "Apple Tax" and it's real but it's not as obscene as people make it out to be when you factor in longevity. I had friends in college who were replacing ~$400-500 machines almost yearly while my ~$1,200 machine (2009) lasted all 4 years and then some. I only upgraded since I was using it professionally and wanted some more power. I have friends who are using their old MacBooks from college up until a few years ago (over 10 years). Now if you are using the machine professionally you might want to upgrade more often but I still get 4 years easily out of my MBPs. I upgraded early (~2 years in) for the M1 Max because it was such a nice jump but I could still be using my 2019 right now if I wanted to.

Any diplomat that can't spin both a spin and a loss is not a very effective diplomat. That said, "Russia shouldn't be able to force resolutions to territorial conflicts with military might or mere possession" is consistent across both scenarios.
It is not about answering correctly or not. Reasoning is about truth-seeking.

It may be a failure of the doctor, but we want to measure mortality in our world, not a magical one where doctors are perfect.

The takeaway here can and should be that interventions are started too soon, but that's a more difficult change than for healthy people to just reduce testing.

net TPS for by a distributed and BFT system is going to be bottlenecked by the cost of information exchange between participating nodes, which is a function of protocol design and, ultimately, network bandwidth/latency

any basic server-class hardware can saturate normal network capabilities with no special effort: a single core, a few hundreds of megabytes of system memory, is all you need to push 1Gbps, probably even 10Gbps

but solana defines hardware requirements for validator nodes https://docs.solana.com/running-validator/validator-reqs that stipulate, at minimum, 12 physical cores, 128GB of RAM, and independent PCIe NVME SSDs for specific types of persisted state

even accounting for the additional work you need to do in a trustless/open/BFT/etc. protocol, these requirements are orders of magnitude beyond what should be necessary, and pretty clearly indicate that solana is very much at the "naive prototype" stage, technically

also, fwiw, solana is not doing the claimed theoretical maximum ~700k TPS, or even 100K TPS, but just 3k TPS, as reported by https://explorer.solana.com
Correct - the main application would move to a new CPU/OS much MUCH faster than some or all of the filters/plugins, and many more were not part of Photoshop at the time.

You'd have things that are now considered standard tools that would be implemented by a plugin; I recall companies in the early 2000s that still had older Macs around for a particular plugin for a particular customer, as it never migrated.

Even now you have that problem; I have a photoshop plugin for x86 that hasn't moved to a M1 native yet.

Really? The article doesn't mention either incest or gavelkind inheritance.
I cannot possibly trust Nextcloud again. I was very skeptical to begin with, because it's a rather large and complex project built on PHP over many years (call this a personal/subjective view). But what really made my decision was when they broke the ability to delete (and/or modify) encrypted files. [0]

It is a pretty big distinction with different end results in practice. Look at Android, you can use the source in a "right to repair" manner but Google doesn't take patches so you can't give back even if you wanted to.

The same goes for Apple and Google's OSS browser. The source is there, but there is more or less no way to give back, and they certainly don't.

> America on the internet is different from America in real life.

Implying I don't know America in real life, never lived there, never visited and don't know actual people there. All not being true. I have zero friends in my home country who work multiple jobs. I have multiple in the US.

> The Americans work 34.5 hours a week.

In my country it's 32. So almost 8% less. Which I'd call significant if working hours is directly correlated to productivity as a country.
As others are pointing out, cholesterol is a lab indicator not a symptom or disease out right. Cholesterol numbers are a proxy for risk for a negative event, but only a weak proxy. If you're otherwise healthy and don't have a family history of cardiac events then your cholesterol numbers probably don't matter. Trying to control those numbers in the absence of other risk factors presents other risks. Cholesterol medicines aren't without side effects, so you're best off not taking them if you don't need them.

Salaries are only redistribution of current money supply. Inflation means an increased money supply and only banks can increase it, wether it's government banks, private banks, or both.
I think the idea is this: even accurate tests have false positives. For patients in a low-risk group, virtually all positive results in the checkup will be false positives. When the low-risk group is large (the entirety of a nation's healthy 20-30 year olds), the number of such false positives will also be large.

The positive results, regardless of whether they are true or false, will have some sort of follow-up. Maybe a second, more invasive test, maybe even starting on a drug straight away if the numbers look bad. And like for any medical procedure, there is a chance that this follow-up will harm this person's health: they will get an infection from a badly done second test, they will have an adverse reaction to the drug, etc.

And the question is whether it is ethical or worthwhile to expose patients to the risk of harming their health through the follow up, given that the chances of them having the condition (and thus of the follow-up being at all useful) are extremely low regardless of what the checkup result says.
