Learn Good Tools -> Learn Bad Tools

is easy

Learn Bad Tools -> Learn Good Tools

is hard. Learning has nonlinear difficulty in the number of variables and bad tools introduce distraction variables. Unless you literally can't afford the good tools, "survey professionals and then buy once cry once" is almost always the right approach.
Negation. The negation of nothing is something.
Absolutely. I was prescribed an APAP with the default pressures set from 4-20. The doctor claimed that the "machine would do all the work" but I still had poor sleep quality. Ended up downloading Sleepyhead (the predecessor to OSCAR) and self-titrated using a band of 90% reported pressure.

My sleep improved but my doctor got mad because I wasn't listening to medical advice, but going into the APAP clinician settings and changing them myself.
It's a gradient, not a binary switch. As the price rises it reaches a point where there's not enough "oxygen" to continue. More and more people realize it is not such a good deal. That level is a lot higher with government guarantees of course.
I can point at code that sorts words by use pretty easily. And I can show you how the embeddings correlate words with similar meanings. Surely that answers the question?

Remember that the real claim is that embeddings represent meaning. In a flawed but working way. You could say they are a map, not the territory, so arguing about the true meaning of meaning isn't relevant.

> I'm going to wonder whether, if I ask for the code for "quicksort" you'll point me to the code for "bubblesort"

Embeddings are meaning (noun) like a dictionary, not meaning (verb) like a qualia.

The code sorts. It doesn't matter what algorithm because the claim was just that it gives you sorted data. Just like a claim that embeddings represent things is not a claim about methods or qualia.

Matt Tait talks about Twitter and its main characters here[0]. I just block all these 'characters' so I never have to see them in my feed.

In short, it worked like the DEC-System PDP-10, although scaled down. The -11 instruction set was a marvel of simplicity, orthogonality, and cleverness. CPUs after the -11 usually claimed to be "11-like" but missed the boat by a mile.

The software was professional and bulletproof. You could get real compilers for it, like FORTRAN. Compilers for the x86 took maybe a decade to reach that level.

The 8 bit computers of the day were toys next to it.

Of course, I was an idiot to develop software for the -11, as there was little market for it. The market was for the Apple and the IBM PC, and I eventually capitulated and bought a PC and abandoned the -11. Sob.

Micromanagement has been around for a long time and workers have long fought to undo the entrenched philosophy of it. It isn't just an expression, it's an entire ideology that's well-defined and has been for some time: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Micromanagement
The issue you're having is due to the fact that Anki "Accumulates" cards if you skip one day, which can build up and create such a large amount of scheduled cards for a day that you end up dropping the thing. I'm working on a spaced repetition algorithm that solves this issue by letting you review when you have time and letting you skip the days you can't do the reviews.
This is the first I'm hearing about Huberman his entertainment career compared to his professorial career sounds like Dr. Oz.

Had the same problem recently with a 2011 Mercedes. Didn’t figure it out until eventually the Keyless Go module (which allows push to start and automatic door unlocking) died. This fixed the parasitic drain.

Apparently when these sorts of modules are dying they fail to turn off and drain the battery by constantly searching for the key fobs. Incidentally while the battery drain was going on the key fob batteries were dying extremely quickly as well, also suggesting a lot more communication than normal was occurring.

You're saying open source is nothing but piracy in the long run? Strange. But if this open source pirate subject just translates to open source technology being a parasite feeding off of organized large scale labor like that from a geopolitical country, then any open source failure would invite the possibility of open source being an optional feature of any intellectual culture. Open source is a failed experiment, perhaps? Open source being a failed experiment would definitely make sense if open source is basically the Soviet Union after Joseph Stalin. On the way to its decentralizing disintegration into new derivatives.

There is a drive cycle set of requirements and it’s usually possible to clear them in under 20 miles. Trying to figure which part of the cycle isn’t accomplished yet is the challenge. I’ve chased it down on my wife’s Honda when we were trying to get it to go “Ready” the same afternoon. Usually just not doing anything unusual for a day or so of normal use is enough, but you can often query the OBD2 system to get the portion of the cycle that’s not yet complete. Just doing a long highway drive isn’t going to do more than a moderate highway drive already did.
How deep are your lines buried? Did you need to be concerned about the frost line?
> Do some vehicle manufacturers just put insane constraints on the drive cycle monitors?

Yes. Combine with the fact some only pass after certain conditions (eg. over 3000 revs for 10 mins, or idle for 5 mins, or only after 3 starts, only when the outdoor temperature is within this range, etc). Sometimes those conditions aren't stated in the manuals.

That makes the checks passing seem more like a random process and driving more will usually make them pass, eventually.

And drivers without a code reader won't know when it has passed, so they are usually instructed by mechanics to drive a long way to be sure before taking it in for a test (don't want to have to reschedule the test just because you didn't drive it enough).
"Almost all of the [EV] batteries we’ve ever made are still in cars."

That's because replacing the battery in a 2011 Nissan Leaf will likely "total" the car (in that, the replacement cost would be more than the car is worth). It's the boat we're in now. Five, six, eight grand to replace the battery for a car that even dealers are only asking $7K for. Where are the cheap replacement batteries that we were promised when we bought the car? My guess is, "we'd rather place those batteries in $70K cars, so those are the customers you're competing with for battery supply." So that's how we're going to replace the battery: with a new Hyundai IONIQ 5.

In fact, many EV batteries may outlast the vehicles they are installed in, then enjoy a second life in a stationary storage application before finally being recycled, according to EVANNEX.

"May", or may not. We don't know, because despite the chatter, I'm not seeing this secondary car battery use. Probably because no one replaces the batteries, because...it's not worth it.

Can’t speak to a Leaf, but I have fast DC charged my 2018 Model S...

Your Tesla also has the advantage of seven years of battery advancement over our Leaf, which has degraded 25%. And the Leaf battery thermal management is non-existent. OTOH, as my wife and I push up against retirement age, with a liquid-cooled battery pack and the 12 years of learning about battery management, I'm assuming that the battery in the new Ioniq 5 coming this week will outlive us.
No, you don't need an electron microscope to overcome that type of inconvenience, because those pieces of data are not sensitive and no effort has been made to ensure you can't just read them out using the pins. This is why the problem of storing private keys is so different than the problem of storing a MAC address. Or put another way: inconvenience is not security, and what we're talking about is a security problem.
>It is worth keeping in mind that reality is under no obligation to make any kind of sense to us.

I like this. It's reminds one to keep in mind that we have evolved to procreate, not necessarily understand reality accurately. Even wrong models can be useful in terms of passing along our genes.
Plus you get to invent portable closed-loop particle accelerators...net win, I'd say.
It's perfectly fine to believe in higher powers. For instance I think it's possible (or probable) we may be living in a simulated reality within a higher dimensional universe. If that's the case, a 4 dimensional (or higher) being would certainly satisfy the Judeo-Christian description of God, since it would be able to manipulate our world in any way it wants. We're basically sprites on a computer screen and God is the programmer.

However, I fail to see how you settled on Catholicism to give you the answers you're looking for. Do you really believe all the stories in the bible actually happened? And if not, why pick Catholicism over any other major religion? And if this God does exist and wants us to worship him, why doesn't he make that more obvious, and why does he allow children to be raped and worshippers to be gunned down in his own Church?
One thing which perhaps is not captured well in the article, is that
rather unlike when reading/writing source code, where stepping through lines of code is a relatively uncommon task only done debugging. For interactive theorem provers it is a given. He discusses the bottom up & top-down approach to the solving goals with tactics & otherwise, but typically in both cases you will be stepping through expressions to get a better understanding. They generally aren't written to be read from just the source text alone.
I sorta think your conflating authoritarian socialism (aka communism) with democratic socialism which is as large a mistake as conflating pure democracy with corrupt representative democracy where a minority of the population is used to rubber stamp an oligarchy.

Similarly, capitalism in its purest forms is basically feudalism because the people won't have any dollars to vote with. And time and time again it seems the benevolent Henry Ford style capitalists are proven to be the minority. So, one might say that without the socialist scare in the late 1800's early 1900's which forced the hands of the capitalists all those quality of live improvements everyone likes to go on about probably wouldn't exist. We might all be working 80 hour weeks and scraping by in company hovels eating whatever gruel the company store gives us. But then again, a large portion of the US population is wildly unaware of how the bottom 30% live, while ignoring their own debt slavery. So enjoy your bread/circuses while the rich take an even larger slice of the economic pie.

Palm Desktop still works fine today on modern Windows, just have to grab USB drivers: https://palmdb.net/help/hotsync-setup

On Linux there's pilot-link (command line) or J-Pilot (GUI on top of that). I don't love the UI for J-Pilot, admittedly, which feels a little rougher than Palm Desktop. A Windows VM is also a common approach.

For devices, there's a dividing line between 68k and ARM.

A 68k will feel more "classic" and will often get you things like AAA batteries and LCD grayscale screens with a bit of an e-ink vibe. Some models like Handsprings are expandable with more "modern" (for 2001) capabilities like extra storage, a camera, or GPS. Some Palm/Sony devices have SD slots too. Most devices of this age involve feature tradeoffs, however. You'll often find color, or AAA, or 16MB of RAM, but not all 3. For a 68k daily driver, you probably want something running OS3.5 or OS4 to avoid the limitations of the super early versions.

ARM models (Tungstens, various Cliés, Treos, etc.) close the gap with smartphones much more--and some literally were. Color, higher resolutions, lithium, media support, SD, bluetooth, wifi, etc. These run OS5+ and having ARM under the hood unlocks an additional class of apps the older ones can't run.

A reminder also to definitely tune one's expectations to the era. Truly modern connectivity requires fiddling and having no-to-rudimentary HTTPS support can make these feel more disconnected today than they originally were. Still, you might also be surprised at how many daily tasks today were achievable 20 years ago in a way that's generally familiar to us now.

One of my favorites for this is the term “making love”. In older times, this basically meant wooing or courtship - literally trying to and building feelings of love and affection in another person.

Now, of course, it means sex. Which can make can making reading some older texts very surprising for modern readers!
Kinda of like the old Chris Berman commercial, "There's no such thing as a stupid question, just stupid people asking questions."
It is not. IQ doesn’t measure a kind of intelligence which inherits, and is subject to natural selection (there is even a debate whether such intelligence exists; or at least is of any significant between individuals).

IQ at best measures something that correlates with SAT. And with better education, less exposure to damaging pollutants, etc. it should always be on the rise (as demonstrated by the Flynn effect; an effect which this poor paper desperately tries to refute).

IQ research has always been about proving the superiority of one race over others, this superiority doesn’t exist, but that doesn’t stop these pseudo-scientist from trying. They bend the definition of “intelligence” and device test batteries (and in this case, interpret test battery) in skewed and bias ways to manipulate results like these. Regrettably media outlets like the Popular Mechanics and lifestyle journalists like Tim Newcomb take these researchers at their words and publish their results, despite their results pretty much being lies.
Fortunately there was an article on this very recently [1]. Here's an archived link if needed [2].

> One statistic in particular stood out: one in 25 American five-year-olds today will not make it to their 40th birthday. No parent should ever have to bury their child, but in the US one set of parents from every kindergarten class most likely will.

> And this is a very American problem. These young deaths are caused overwhelmingly by external causes — overdoses, gun violence, dangerous driving and such — which are deeply embedded social problems involving groups with opposing interests. Far trickier to tackle than most health issues where everyone is pulling in one direction.

That's one way to look at it, but a very biased take. An equally valid take is that Firefox was calling an expensive platform feature too often, and even though it has been killing performance for years (possibly, for the entire history of the project) nobody noticed or bothered to fix it on the application side.
> It satisfies our belief

What do you mean "our belief" ? Yours maybe, but it doesn't satisfy my belief, my belief is different. Or maybe, a whimsical "belief" is not enough, in itself, for theories to aspire to meet. Feelings aren't facts about the nature of the universe.
Passport is nodejs specific it looks like (no personal experience with it). AWS Amplify auth with cognito gives you libs for most major platforms (android, ios, web, etc) in most frameworks (vue, angular, react, native, etc). Plus aws cognito integrates well with AWS.
Speaking of limitations with scan in DynamoDb, I've recently been working with DynamoDB and found that our implementation was solely using scan operations. I wrote a couple lines of code to generate a secondary index, used a query operation instead for our endpoint serving page responses and that's going to save our company ~$15k this year (more as we scale) and decreased our page load times by 10x (3s to .3s) for all of our users. In total that's going to save over a year of page load time for all of our users over the next year.

It's just odd to me that I had to make this change in the first place. I wonder how many millions of dollars AWS is raking in just because devs are unaware of things like that. Also makes me wonder how much energy is being wasted on inefficient DB operations..

Is there a consumer market yet for buying/selling old EV batteries for stationary storage? Some quick googling isn't turning anything up.
As internal resistance rises, you just need to charge slower...

A battery that normally takes an hour to charge can charge 10x slower and take 10 hours to charge, and still be providing some useful value. (nearly everywhere will have a day/night power price discrepancy, as well as a weekday vs weekend discrepancy, and a hot/cold weather discrepancy - so there are lots of timescales over which money can be made)
The problem with that conclusion, even if true (I'm sure if you dig into the study you'll find all kinds of assumptions that you may or may not agree with) is that it's based on average earnings. And as we all know, everyone believes they are above-average, or their outcomes will be above-average. It's easy to read a study such as yours then dismiss it because it includes graduates with degrees that many people assume have little earning power.

I only see this with people trying to check the “college education required” box, rather than trying to acquire a marketable skill. From my perspective, this was always the case, but there doesn’t seem to be any “cultural knowledge”. My naive assumption is that college recruiters/counselors are pushing people, who don’t have marketable interests, into debt, and the students don’t know any better, for whatever reason.
The article mentions a couple of formulas for the ranking algorithm. I'd like to point out my data-driven reverse-engineering of the HN ranking algorithm from 2013. The basic ranking formula uses votes and age with various exponents. But in my analysis, I found that "penalties" had a large effect on the ranking. Some penalties are applied automatically based on title words or the domain. Other penalties would be applied later. Too many comments would trigger the "controversy" penalty which would cause a sudden and drastic ranking drop.
