Hello! I'm a recent graduate (summa cum laude!) from Pace University in NYC who majored in Finance and minored in Environmental Science. I have private equity experience at Fortress Investment Group. After graduation, I spent some time traveling all over the US, Latin America, and Australia, and now I'm ready to hit the ground running!
The latter, yes. Interestingly I’m not surprised at all. This is what many researchers themselves do lol. I never take a reference at face value from any human being and I apply the same standard to gpt-4 as well. But all its references are real. Just 20-40% of time it might not exactly say the same as what I asked it for (though it’s related, and mostly there).
Why, because it's so good that you'd pay any price?

> _Worth keeping that in mind when your doctor uncriticially tries to prescribe you something for a relatively rare disease because a measurement was positive._

yes and yet this is slightly overgeneralizing

what you have to keep in mind specifically is that these two things, prevalence in to he population and false positives (and negatives!) do _exist_ and that you should inform yourself about them and factor that into your decision making

a PCR COVID test for example is something you don't argue with. and the quick tests on the other hand came in widely different qualities.

Using such a dictionary instead of the control, a human translator or interpreter, is likely to suffer from the same pitfalls: not knowing a language means you are more susceptible to making errors when the language should be nuanced, and scientific & academic papers seem to be to be nuance-critical productions when it comes to wording
None of that matters, really, so long as the modular reactor remains small enough to have fully passive protections and no need for large containment structures. That is the real value of small modular reactors.

The linked article doesn't say if any of these properties are affected by the change, so I have no way of assessing it.

$745m, their highest ever. $2.74 billion for the year. Not chicken feed.

As for the 10c a core on average, there will be billions of 1c/core royalties for things you don't even realise have a CPU in them, and tens of millions of much much higher royalties on the kinds of chips that go into smartphones and SBCs. Maybe as much as $10 a chip?
It's not a feedback cycle. Inflation is the increase in money existing. Paying higher salaries do not increase the amount of money existing, as that money is taken from somewhere. Raising prices do not increase the amount of money existing. Only the money creators can increase the amount of money existing. Money is created by banks and governments in symbiosis.

Increased prices of labour or products is always a consequence of inflation and never the cause of inflation.

Hey folks, I'm looking for Backend/Full Stack engineering roles.
I'm especially good with deep-diving into unfamiliar code bases, and working with backend side of things with Golang/Python.

I am also open to release/platform engineering roles, but that'd be a first for me.

I can work remotely matching GMT+0 to GMT+8 timezones.

Assuming that you’re still capable of verbal comms. The good thing about a PLB is that it’s generally a fairly definitive signal that something is wrong at a specific location. It also requires less dexterity to trigger and potentially has a bit higher signal to noise than accidental emergency calls.

This isn't a contradiction of my example. My example is pretty clear: Mom makes X before/after prices have gone up, and years after so.

> Inflation usually means wages going up.

Inflation is a rise in prices, that's what it means. Maybe I am being pedantic about your use of "means".

> But low wage workers in the US have gotten significant pay raises since 2019.

Mom in my example hasn't, so irrelevant. Why do you insist on using generalizations to try to contradict an example? My example is very real, the generalization does not apply.

your own conclusions, whether about what other companies do or don't do (whataboutism) or anything else, are neither convincing nor here nor there, since the topic at hand is simply, is this one company in question (Apple) engaging in monopolistic behavior (they are)

the same goes for your personal opinions as to the meaning of such a conclusion -- while I'm sure you are a great person, and appreciate you respectfully commenting, such opinions are neither convincing nor relevant to the topic at hand: whether this one company in question (Apple) is engaging in monopolistic behavior (they are)
planting trees isn't a realistic carbon sequestration. it just delays when the carbon is released (dead decaying tree). The only proper carbon sequestration is to capture it and stick it back in the ground from where it came. there's obvious challenges with that.
> eat real foods

This is kind of a meaningless statement. Those of us that already know about nutrition are going to read that and go "he means eat a small amount of meat, lots of fibrous vegetables, avoid added sugar, high gi carbs" etc etc. But you're basically communicating nothing.
So 150-200 times 2-4 Mbps is 300-800Mbps for the whole country.

There are about 5 million people in New Zealand. About 13 percent are rural. Let's say 30% of those are in areas where this would be useful, or about 4%. 200,000 people, and about half are the age and temperament to have a cellphone. Let's say they're using this data 1% of the time. That's 1000 people at a time, on average. So the useful data rate per active person is about 800kbps. That's not great, but still usable even for 240-360p video streaming, music streaming, navigation, normal web stuff. About 2.5 Gigabytes per month per 100,000 subscribers (although due to time of day, etc, that's probably more like a usable 1-1.5GB per month). For casual users with wifi at home, that's not that bad. I think my wife uses about that much or less.
One New Zealand's largest competitor Spark operates a country wide LoraWAN network, can SpaceX theoretically offer LoraWAN connectivity or would the TX power requirements be far more than a typical Lora device could sustain on battery/solar?

I've hit some issues on certain sites accessing from a regular Linux desktop was enough to kick the WAF which then seemed to block my home IP. I had to switch to mobile data on my phone to access again (I think that was Straight Talk/TracFone)
> are economists really that dumb?

No, the are really smart. You have to be very intelligent to be able to contrive a way to support an idea that is completely wrong. Intelligent people almost always support the most idiotic political, economical or cultural ideas, because that is a mental challenge that is satisfying. Using the sheer force of their intellect to "beat" normally gifted people in arguments about these issues, they delude themselves to believe they are right, even though they picked an absurd angle just for the challenge.

Hello HN, I am a Computer Science Graduate student at Indiana University and have more than five years of experience as a Software Engineer. I have developed several large distributed systems with Typescript, Node.js, Python, HTTP(S), and different database technologies. I am looking for an opportunity where I can learn and contribute simultaneously. Feel free to have a look at my GitHub profile: https://github.com/sbmthakur/

PS: I am also looking for volunteer opportunities this summer and would welcome any leads or suggestions. Please feel free to contact me if you have information on any such opportunity.
It would also help if they improved their product with better pricing.
Your should assume your odds are 1 in 1000, without reason to believe otherwise. Your actual odds are obviously going to be different, but that is unknown to you and shouldn’t affect your reasoning about the risks.
Strange that this article doesn't mention any of the current research into what the cause is. [Erich Jarvis](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Erich_Jarvis) has done research into the neurological mechanisms and seems to have discovered that animals capable of complex speech patterns have some mutations that permit a neural connection to grow from the motor cortex to the larynx (or syrinx in birds) by way of the brain stem. In other words, we can make complex vocalizations in part because we have fine motor control over our voice box, whereas most other animals do not.

This is only part of the story — there's still the question of how auditory information makes it in as an input so that we can replicate sounds we've heard — but it's a pretty big part for TFA to omit.
> I would say politics

False dichotomy. This isn’t science versus religion, philosophy, the humanities or politics.

You repeated a meme: humans are animals plus some nebulous X. I’m calling that out as meaningless; it’s unfalsifiable. You switched to asking about the meaning of words, and are now trying to draw equivalence between your statements and the merits of politics as a category. This is an exercise in false equivalences, red herrings and wronger than wrongs [1].

Feedly appears to be ramping up its "AI", as I'm seeing a lot more things tagged. A lot of things also mis-tagged.

I'm also seeing a lot of Feedly prompts to confirm/deny tags on super obvious items, which makes me think the technology is not very mature, or possibly it's entirely crowdsourced.

Thank you, my source was probably wrong, or my memory.

However, I wouldn’t be quick to say it invalidates the conclusion, without more careful analysis.
Same experience here, though it was just regular intense exercise, not a return to exercise. Of course the doctor sort of chuckled and laughed when I theorized this as the cause of the elevated liver enzymes and said “no, exercise is good for you”.
The concern would be that it would gnerate a bunch of spurious correlations between the two. You would be mixing two kinds of datasets, where it’s not clear that the dolphin sounds are linguistic. It’s also not clear that LLMs would correctly map human language to a non-human one. Depends on your theory of meaning. Wittgenstein would say if a lion could talk, we would not understand it, because lmeaning is use, and lions would use language differently than humans.
It's never gonna work for a multitude of reasons like you said. Usually I'm not pessimistic but this really seems like: we have an idea, make a video, post it on a site, ask questions later.

Heck nah. After using it for a while I realized I didn't like it too much, so I switched. The 5% of the time when I wanted to use it take advantage of the muscle memory I developed while migrating to the other IDE (at the time, MacVim), I couldn't, unless I wanted to pay or keep an old version around...
My guess is that it will be paid for by the government. Likely it won't be use super often as most people will have 4g/5g coverage already. This will just cover the instance where that isn't the case.

We support exporting any query from Splitgraph to Parquet, try it here [0] (click the dice for a random query). You can also upload CSV or SQLite file(s) [1]. Each one will load into a table that you can query with a Postgres client, or export it (or just some subset of it you select with a query) as Parquet.

Then you can load it into Seafowl [2]. We also have an API to export from Splitgraph to Seafowl, just need to add the button (this week).

"We're looking"? "We're thinking"? Considering your demo video was a guy showing off folded printer paper secured with duct tape, and a gauzy fabric built around an off-the-shelf tape measure....

How far along are you? Sounds like you're nowhere even near a prototype, let alone a beta design. I know every company has gone through a design phase and a (sometimes lengthy) build up... but you don't usually see them start the PR hype train before they've even got a CGI demo or a model that isn't made out of scrap. What is it that makes you a real company, and not just some guy who got real excited about an idea he had last week?
This is cool. Some of the weaknesses they point out in software agents can be obviated with the latest AI advancements—give a chatbot the tools of the courts, and maybe the autonomous agent won’t be at a disadvantage in scams anymore.

Interesting to see if an AI agent given the objective to generate profit would resort to running scams. Encoding moral boundaries becomes important. What if you asked it to raise money for a good cause and it uses “whatever means necessary?”
I’m more inclined to believe human + LLM = monkey
that's a selfish way of thinking

you miss the bigger picture

we must continue innovate to keep shrinking it further so we could:

- use the tech on the moon

- use the tech on a spaceship for space exploration

- use it to deploy quick energy stations on foreign planets

Also immediate uses:

- useful for regions in the world with poor infrastructure, no need generation/storage, you got it ready to deploy all in one

Nah, that's ignoring that this hypothetical is in a world with mostly renewable power generation. E.g. most of the energy in that mix you're referring to is oil/natural gas/coal -- and over half of that is lost before it reaches the first power pole or the drive wheels. Vastly more efficient electric devices will greatly reduce the amount of energy needed. E.g. a heat pump with COP of 4 needs 1/4th the energy as burning natural gas in a high-efficiency furnace. Yes it shifts that energy demand from natural gas to electricity, but total energy consumption still drops. Similarly, a gas Corolla getting 40mpg equals about 1.2 miles/kwh, whereas a Tesla Model Y is more like 3.5 miles/kwh, so again, even though there's an increase in electricity consumption, total energy consumption decreases by ~2/3.

My other point stands though -- even if you grant a much larger electricity demand, you can't just look at today's battery production capacity. There are pipeline projects that will 10x that by 2030 (which is what happened in the past 10 years). Even with pessimistic assumptions, you get to pretty reasonable time frames pretty quickly.
