I once worked for a 5-man business that brought in $750k annually, and the two owners were smart guys but no better than me and certainly not as professionally trained.

Now, mind you, I'm not saying it would only be the product, I would also be willing to be a consultant (trading the singular VC for multiple, not-quite-fungible-but-closer-to customers), but making only $130k for your soul and a lotto ticket does not sound like an appealing deal.
I already had this experience where i had to wait 30 minutes for someone to come pickup a car. Driving it around was cheaper than parking it for 30 minutes

> where an accident makes land of the size of a city uninhabitable for 1000 years.

It… really doesn't. Even someone with full control of a modern plant, who actively wanted to cause as terrible an accident as possible, would not be able to cause nearly that much damage. Meanwhile, fossil fuels are poisoning people right now

I"m not sure what point you are making here. The UK, Germany, and Japan have very good rail networks and were democratically governed the last time I looked.

> We can look up the definition of any word at our fingertips.

So what? Being able to understand expressive language and quickly context shift vocabulary is extremely valuable. If you don't have the vocabulary to identify context, being able to look up the definition of words will only get you so far. Additionally, you can't write words if you don't know that they exist.
There is a vast difference between "went out and geared up with the most expensive" and "spend ~$30 more to go from cheap crap to something baseline competent" (e.g. while the article author says "ultra-cheap" about his linked choice, it's actually more in that range). And nowadays its quite easy to figure out if that's the case for what you are planning to buy, as long as it is a somewhat mainstream topic. And then make a somewhat informed choice.

Irons are also not really getting used up, so if you truly follow the "replace if it breaks" rule you're potentially using crap a loooong time.

> Having that fuse out kills some speakers and the mic too, so it's a kind of annoying solution.

That's exactly why I didn't choose that option.

One thing I'll mention about the center console solution (which I'm having trouble confirming), when I was driving home I thought the sound from the speakers was much quieter. I tried zoning the music to the quiet speakers and there was little to no sound coming out.
I took it back and they took the console apart and reset everything and then it "just started to work". The tech seemed as baffled as me, he was frustrated he couldn't tell me why it started working.
All that's to say YMMV.
As a young kid I scored ok for my age, very high for 2 years older. Now I don't think I'm better at simple pattern tests then my peers.Im sure it means something, but especially with kids I've seen wildly different scores for the same kids on different moments and different kind of tests.

Statistics might average that out, but I've also seen it uses often to use as a tool to decide where young kids go. It's not accurate enough.
The iq test can drop its standardized at 100 meaning average person scores 100. You have to standardize it for different population groups which cases issues when you test non represented populations
For the life of me, I cannot understand why Google did not go ahead and commercialize a lot of this early research. They clearly had a HUGE lead in this space, in terms of engineering/research talent, capital, computer infrastructure. Boggling...

I'd love any alternative view points of this.
Much of this depends on the particular city's rules and when development happened. Off-street parking requirements have become far more common since the 1950s. Places that developed prior to this (and didn't dramatically re-develop) may not have this as much, since the rules would only apply to new development. I think a fair bit of the US northeast may fall under that category.

And, for instance, San Francisco has no required off-street parking, and has limits to off-street parking instead: https://codelibrary.amlegal.com/codes/san_francisco/latest/s...

However, plenty of other places in the US are different. The rest of the Bay Area is quite sprawled, as are the areas of the Midwest I've spent time in.
>> But since you wish to draw a line in the sand, define quality. Or truth.

I asked it about tourists attractions in a city I know. One of the items it listed was a Zoo. There is no Zoo there. It seemed like it just took the majority of the question into account at some point and ignored the city name itself and since most questions like that are about big cities that have zoos, it went ahead to suggest it, since it was among probable answers.

It will get better with more input and will get this kind of obvious questions right. But I believe it will never truly 'know' what it is talking about. And we will start to believe it does.

>The U.S. has the largest nuclear fleet in the world, with 92 reactors scattered around the country.

Apologies to everyone for the upcoming tangential rant.

Am I the only person who is exhausted with news outlets disingenuously comparing the US to all other individual countries as if that is a fair comparison? A quick google search shows there are 108 reactors operating in the European Union, which is 16 more than in the US. Yes, this also means that the US has more reactors operating per person than the EU.

But why can't news outlets just say that? Why do we default to comparing the absolute number of most things in the United States to individual western countries? This was at its worst during COVID but it seems to have stuck. It makes for a completely misleading narrative.

Yes, and? The FSF may disagree with the OSI on some matters, but the FSF does agree on the definition of the term “Open Source”, which was what we were discussing. Do you have a different definition of “Open Source” (as applied to software), and why should that definition take precedence over that of the definition from the OSI?

Maybe just me, but I would gladly take that risk vs the whole world becoming uninhabitable due to global warming, not to mention the possible nuclear fallout from WW3 due to global unrest.

The greatest political disappointment I've felt in recent years was when the Merkele government decided to shut down a bunch of Nuclear power-plants. It made up for it by burning coal.

The rise of chatbots as a user interface can be attributed to the rapid advancements in artificial intelligence (AI) and natural language processing (NLP) technologies. Chatbots are designed to understand and respond to human language, making them an intuitive and natural way for users to interact with digital services.

In this article, we will explore the evolution of user interfaces, the emergence of chatbots, the advantages and challenges they present, and their potential future applications. We will also examine case studies that demonstrate the effectiveness of chatbot user interfaces in various industries.
The check is a promise to be paid later. You are trusting the check writer that they are good for the money. The bank could refuse to honor the request if there isn’t enough money in the account or they don’t believe the document is legit (looks altered). In the not so old days* you’d have to wait for the check’s bank to accept it before you got your money.

And the writer is trusting you not to modify the check or otherwise fraudulently use the account info (in my parents’ time the check didn’t have account numbers on it so this was less of a risk).

The only backstop the bank offered was to verify the signature against the signature card and refuse the check if it looked suspicious. I think the same is still true today.

* I worked for Atari back when Warner owned them (1980s). Congress had required that companies offer direct deposit, but the minimum was they only had to offer it to you if you banked at the same bank as the company. So Atari’s payroll came out of a small bank in Sunnyvale with only one office. The rest of us got paper paychecks on Friday. Even if you went to the bank before 3 on Friday it wouldn’t be processed until Monday, which meant they’d send the physical checks to Synnyvale to be validated. Warner got to use the float on the money while all that was going on.

I didn't see any reference to the study, but from the first comment in that video it seems that the doctor said "his body would stop producing insulin" because his blood insulin levels were low? Doesn't sound right to me.

[1]"Prediabetes happens when your blood glucose levels are higher than normal, but not high enough to be diagnosed as diabetes. Prediabetes usually occurs in people who already have some insulin resistance."

So, it doesn't sound right that he would be pre-diabetic when his blood glucose levels would be low. Seems that doctor made the assumption that because his blood insulin was low, his body would just stop producing it at some point, and that's not how it works.

That's basically C# top-level programs[0]. IMHO, In C# these are a mixed bag, because once a project becomes more complex a file without a class looks out of place, so it's a feature for beginners/very simple programs. It was controversial enough that VS eventually included an option to create projects without using this...

From the questioning around "needs to import basic utility classes", I'm guessing the feature following this would be something like C# implicit usings?

I know so many people who get frustrated with hobby tools and then quit the hobby, when if they would've bought something decent to start off with, might've kept interest. The price differential is a lot less if you buy used, but quality tooling. This tooling is fully depreciated, and you can turn around and sell it for what you paid for it as long as it's still in working order.

To bring it around to programming, imagine trying to debug code in GEdit+Terminal vs having the latest and greatest Jetbrains IDE to help out (ignoring the fact that the community editions are actually pretty functional - let's time travel back 20 years when you had to pay for VS or Borland). One is way more frustrating than the other; one is way more likely to lose motivation.

Or soldering - avoid the cheapest harbor freight iron, and EBay a used Weller for $50+shipping. If you never solder again pass it on and you're out the shipping costs. Weller irons have been and always will be around $50~$60 used.
> You say last-mile services are trivial, but they absolutely are not trivial in the slightest, and assuming they are demonstrates a fundamental lack of understanding of how change gets made in a democratic, even republican, manner.

We had an entire public transit system that included the "last mile." It was systematically destroyed by the automotive industry.

The reset of the developed world has much better public transit. Terrible public transit isn't quite a uniquely American problem, but it's close.

Do go on about how it's "absolutely not trivial in the slightest", though.

> As a last-mile problem, not all people are physically able to bike from a train station, though ebikes do help

Biking takes less energy and fitness than walking does, even at a faster speed. Before you argue with me, google it, please. Before you start whinging about the elderly: the people old enough to not be able to bike are about 10% or less of the population, and since bike lanes are not the only option, "the elderly can't do it" isn't even a valid counterpoint anyway.

There is no "point" it's just a technology. My point was that the OP question was actually very difficult to the point many people could not handle it. So the fact an AI can not is not entirely surprising.

This is my anecdotal experience using next for over 6 years.

3) a boil-and-bite mouthguard to keep my jaw in place and not sliding back - didn't work after a while

4) same cpap as #2, but with nasal pillows - has worked since then

by the way, I had to really learn to breathe through my nose for #4. I guess I didn't always do that, especially with allergies.

Thanks for the perspective, I appreciate it. Although again, the article does not lead anyone to think Bitcoin causes deaths. That's a misreading of it.

I got curious, of course. If my math and research is correct, it seems like Bitcoin uses 127 terawatt-hours per year globally [1], and the US does 38% of worldwide Bitcoin mining [2], for 48 TWh/yr. In comparison, total US energy usage is 4,019 TWh [3], so Bitcoin is 1.2%. In comparison, holiday lights use somewhere between 3.5 TWh [4] and 6.63 TWh [5] according to a couple estimates, which is 0.08%-0.16%, or about an order of magnitude less than Bitcoin.

But I don't really see how any of this contradicts the narrative of the article. The article itself was pushing back on the narrative that Bitcoin mining in the US is insignificant and/or powered by renewables. It's clear that 1.2% is quite significant, and most of it is powered by fossil fuels, and it's raising electricity prices for people. Is this a good use of carbon, and of consumer finances? The article does quote people saying it ought to be considered an industry like any other, but of course that has to be balanced against the question of whether Bitcoin can be considered economically "productive" in any sense like other industries, or if it's merely a speculative asset with zero productive value at all.

But in the end, the article isn't attempting to survey the entire landscape of Bitcoin. It's focusing on the fossil fuel consumption footprint in the US which is brand new over the past few years, and it seems to do a good job at raising awareness for that. I certainly hadn't been aware of that until now, and I'm glad I am.

Not sure what you mean by "inline subclasses", but an anonymous main class can contain class declarations -- just as classes, named or anonymous can today. This file would be a complete legal program:

record Foo(int x, int y) {}
class Bar { static void print(Foo f) { System.out.println(f); } }

void main() {
Bar.print(makeFoo());
}

Foo makeFoo() { return new Foo(3, 4); }

I did not perceive your comment as anti-bayesian, or at least not necessarily so! :)

But are you sure you know what I meant when I said “uninformative prior”? Because choosing an uninformative prior does not involve choosing any parameters: there is only one uninformative prior, and it’s the constant (flat) distribution which assigns equal probability to every value. It encodes no information and does not bias the posterior or result. It is the one and only mathematically-neutral prior. You can think of it as being a bit like an “identity function”.

"This is the most important thing. By far the worst failure mode is to put too much in a flashcard."

He's wrong on this one. The problem with making extremely atomic flashcards is that many times it's impossible to prevent slight amounts of overlap between the cards. What this means is that answering card A might contain information that allows you to answer some subsequent card B.

As a result you end up effectively getting a hint for some dependent cards, as opposed to if you had to recall all that information from scratch.
