Yes; as I said, wasn't disagreeing per se, just clarifying important context more than anything.

> I completely disagree with it; almost none of the time is the p-value what you should be ranking things on.

Not necessarily true; people compare models on the basis of their p-values all the time; but in any case, that's not what I was referring to here. I was saying the p-value in itself expresses a ranking. That's just what a p-value is by definition: a ranking of the particular compatibility score of the data-event under consideration, with respect to the whole domain of compatibility scores resulting from all possible data-events considered.

And yes, when the score itself is more important than the ranking, it's prudent to focus on that; when the p-value "ranking" is more important, it's prudent to focus on that instead; ideally, people should consider both.

Having said that, the medical example is a weird one. There's a specific sentence there that I have a problem with:

> It's more uncertain because the sample size is smaller [...] I would definitely prefer the second drug.

Perhaps this is simply a misnomer, since one can only be so precise when using language, but as expressed above, I feel this is wrong, as it alludes to an expression of posterior probability, which is not information given to you by a p-value in this setting. More specifically you should be saying it's not "precise". The subtle difference being, you are interpreting this as a "despite the wide range, it's most likely to be around 0.1, so I'll take my chances", whereas what the confidence interval is really telling you is "the data would be atypical for models outside this large range, but not inside", meaning there is an almost equal chance of the drug harming you as there is giving you a benefit. So, no, I wouldn't prefer the 2nd drug; I'd actually prefer the 1st one which has a guaranteed, albeit smaller benefit. This is a very different statement from a credible interval which more or less would state that 0.1 is the most likely value.

So in fact, the p-value would be a better measure of comparison here as well. You're comparing the compatibility of two different data-events (which in this case reflects samplings) against the same (null) hypothesis; so you should prefer the event that is least compatible with the null (and ideally, you should propose an alternative hypothesis, and confirm that it demonstrates higher compatibility with that one as well). But having said this, comparing p-values typically comes in the reverse scenario, were one has a single data-event, and wants to compare two different hypotheses against the same data-event, since that gives information on which model is most compatible with what you observed.

Anyway. Sorry, I know you know, I'm just enjoying the exposition :)
I follow the argument just fine, but it's fallacious. You should keep your word because it is the right thing to do, not because some invisible boogeyman will toss you into hellfire if you don't. If someone can't be motivated to serve the public good without the background threat of eternal damnation, perhaps they are not mature enough yet to be appointed director of NASA.
Yes, but Twitter was arguably doing a reasonably good job of that part of their mission. You can debate about the business side, it's not easy monetizing something like that but they showed rather a lot of restraint and if they messed up they fixed things.

The people that see this differently are typically the same people who believe that 'the Twitter files' were revelatory, when in fact they weren't. Strong overlap there with eternal Trump supporters and various complot theory proponents, I'm not sure what degree of evidence would be able to convince people like that.
So, in a sense, yes: pay by buying the right phone at the beginning, but it's not available otherwise.

I have LG ThinQ washer and dryer. A version of ThinQ API uses AWS MQTT for communication. I find it helpful to send TTS notifications and followup reminders to Sonos when the washer is complete, until the door has been opened. The appliance knows when the door is opened/closed yet the API does not include this detail. Had to add separate contact sensors for that purpose.

The description doesn't sound so bad...
The modern uses are basically the same but in the christian tradition (and I think inherited from judaism) there is a distinct difference between oaths and vows. Oaths are sworn to others, before god, in order to assure our trustworthiness in respect to some specific endeavor. Vows are promises to god without condition. So oaths can be sworn based on things other than relationship to god (my honor, my mother's grave) but vows can't in this tradition.

So for example like oath of fealty vs vow of poverty. The difference is inherently religious and kind of subtle and not explicit in most contexts, plus vows aren't very common anymore. But if you read for example a christian marriage vow next to an oath of office you can clearly see the different intent.

And again the meanings are usually the same in general modern use and the religious rite aspect is probably not very important to many people. But when talking about a specific formal oath or vow you can definitely tell that it's two separate rites.

I'd like to present personal findings contrary to this, many right-of-center people I know(especially those who love to rail against "woke big tech") are already complaining about the pretty obvious filters openai has implemented to prevent certain queries. Most things aren't immediately thrust into the culture wars, it takes time for the topic to diffuse and people to evaluate where in their beliefs the new system fits
I really believe in that. We used to have 4 cores in 2012 plus and this is slightly different than 2 cores (hardware cryptorgaphy in 2012th processor was more noticeable for me than extra cores). Modern processors eats significantly less energy and can hold significantly more of RAM and that's all I can notice.
In my limited experience, companies that breach contracts like this plan for a small amount of litigation in their books, and determine that not enough people will have the means or will to sue them, but the profits of breaching the contracts will be enough to cover the few that do.
The real issue with cryptocurrency is that it's not scaleable.

If they had some magic way of handling transactions so every node didn't need to keep all history, and nodes could be sharded in a hierarchy like DNS, etc. transactions times were near-instant and almost-free, etc. then it'd be a lot more useful.

Yeah, iirc her official crime is fraud with respect to investors. There were a lot of people who got bad diagnosis and none of her charges had anything to do with that.

Also that one time their lab got massively contaminated with ebola dna (apparently less bad than it sounds). No charges for creating an unsafe work environment or misleading public health officials on their ability to meaningfully perform ebola tests at (I think it was) airports.

They are lending their brand to Bookshop.org, which profits also from selling books (that’s how they can afford to stay in business).

I’m a big fan of Bookshop. I just wish they could break into the DRM free epub business. Libro.fm managed to get into the DRM free audiobook business somehow.
I would rather not give the benefit of the doubt to someone who has shown no remorse over blatant fraud and corruption, that quite possibly led to someone committing suicide.

Firstly, I believe the QI scheme includes a process for communication, mostly restricted to "how much power should I send" for now, but it's obvious this will be expanded to more functionality as people basically replicate NFC over it.

Second, I'm still waiting to see a QI charger than just pumps 100W of power straight through any piece of metal above it. Don't know what would happen, but I naively imagine forced induction would brick most devices.

There was a thread on HN recently [0], in which many expressed an opinion that "senior developer" role is a "force multiplier" involving semi-managerial and mentoring responsibilities. It amused me, therefore, to read that in the author's case, being a senior developer presumably meant just, quote, "closing tickets and writing code to achieve things", i.e. being an actual developer.

There was a time around 2020 I believe, where everyone and their mother was talking about crypto and the blockchain, and how it's going to be this big technological revolution. All kinds of private and public initiatives decided to include "the blockchain" in their projects, NFTs became huge, and there was talk of putting real estate, healthcare, and logistics "onto the blockchain".

It's been three years since then, and still no real-world use case has emerged. I don't dispute that there are completely valid use cases for cryptocurrencies, mainly around avoiding governmental financial restrictions and safeguards, and there are still loads of people using cryptocurrencies for speculation and/or as a "store of value". But the whole ecosystem of distributed apps, smart contracts, DAOs, and so on, still mainly revolves around itself, without wider societal impact.

Honestly: Why are you surprised? This trope that rich people are immune from prison is prevalent on Reddit and other social media every time someone wealthy is arrested for crimes. However I can think of far more examples of someone going to jail/prison than escaping charges. It’s a rare and noteworthy occurrence when someone is caught doing a crime and then gets away with it in a high profile case, but cynical social media commenters act like it’s every single case.

The same thing happened with SBF: The Reddit/HN near-consensus was that he was too rich to ever face consequences, but then the system chugged along and is working just fine.

Me too, and I believe our society could have taken a different trajectory, in which the values you have are norms.

It's normal to want to have control over every detail of where your furniture goes and how your home is decorated, and plants in your garden, without consulting some external source of control. Why isn't it normal to have the same level of control of your appliances and your digital life?
Probably a lot of them, honestly.

The 95% only problem is an issue for cars cuz that last 5% means you die horribly in a head-on collision, or maybe only get a mild concussion but are stuck in a ditch.

But if I can get 95% of my router configs done, 95% of my documentation written, and 95% of a website whipped up I can hand that off to a Sr Engineer/Admin and have them take care of the last bits. As long as the hours, phone number, and location are good a website just needs to be "directionally accurate" and otherwise fairly basic.
Problem with scripts is that at the end of the day you feel like you're just exploring a state machine.

It's what I always find with open world games for example. No matter what kind of character I build or how I behave I'm only ever going to get predetermined dialogue which I could have looked up and saved myself the time.

Yes in the sense of the Sims it's probably overkill (they sold millions of copies even without a script) but it's only being used as a playground to test the ideas and see what's possible, there's no suggestion that this is particularly what the Sims itself should be.

"Old number" here means "the same old stat they trot out every time". The value gets updated; the concerns over its being a cherry-picked apples-to-oranges comparison remain.

FSD still nopes out in the most challenging circumstances, which are the circumstances where accidents are far more likely to happen.

It’s not about overpromise/underdeliver, byt about an outright fraud - lying to the investors.

Overpromising is something that investors expect, if not even require - startups are all about doing long shot bets, with 5% chance of doing something brilliant and 95% of failing.
But that arguably doesn’t use this feature to its fullest — the most naive/easy to comprehend way to do concurrency is to start up multiple threads calculating something and simply wait for all of them to return, and at this point you are free to use the calculated results as is. This is the most-idiomatic way to make java virtual threads (with a try-with-resources block)

I hadn't thought it like that. Sure, that makes sense from that angle.

For shooters having neural network powered opponents has been done. If found this IEEE paper:

Bots trained to play like a human are more fun, Bhuman Soni; Philip Hingston

Apparently, human like opponents were considered to be more fun. This kind of thing could be integrated easily in games, as the neural network is positively minuscule compared to an LLM.

Also there is nog chance of accidents if your npc's cant talk (well, they might shoot you, but they won't heckle you).

So I'd expect this to be integrated in real games much sooner than LLM based characters.

> The point of central banks is to control their monetary policy.

There's plenty of people out there who disagree with central bank's existence and policy. I don't know if I'd call a currency "stable" when it's lost 80% of it's own value since being introduced and can have new liquidity created with little due process. All currency is an illusion, it's just about which illusion makes you more comfortable.

It's all just money, and money isn't entirely rational to begin with.
Thanks for the explanation. That makes a lot of sense.

Tangent, but how did you handle lighting for the camera? I'm intermittently working on something similar to read a gas meter, but am struggling to find a way of lighting the digits sufficiently, while not leaving reflections on plastic over the digits.

hey hn, supabase ceo here

This release introduces a few new features to Supabase Storage: Resumable Uploads , Quality Filters, Next.js support, and WebP support.

As a reminder, Supabase Storage is for file storage, not to be confused with Postgres Storage. Resumable Uploads is the biggest update because it means that you can build more resilient apps: your users can continue uploading a file if their internet drops or if they accidentally close a browser tab

This implementation uses TUS[0], which is an open source protocol. We opted for this over s3's protocol to support the open source ecosystem. This means you can use several existing libraries and frameworks (like Uppy.js[1]) for multi-part uploads.

It also has some neat technical details, using Postgres Advisory Locks to solve concurrency issues.

The Storage team will be in the comments to cover any technical questions.

Is the mobile app required? If I'm already at home, why would I want to try to awkwardly navigate some 3D space with gestures on a tiny phone screen instead of using my desktop computer?

Required app installs make the world less accessible for us non-smartphone owners. At the very least, I'd want a IoT device to be optionally controllable via some kind of network API. That way I can unify its scheduling, programming, or whatever with the rest of my network computing resources, instead of having each device require a specific UI (or worse, its own app).

As some others in this page, I loathe the act of writing, but it's also a negative feedback loop where I use disposable ballpoint pen. I remember I used to prefer foutain pen in high school.

Still, for my case I see two potential downsides with foutain pen:

- mobility (train trips and bike commuting). I remember instances of leaks.

- Infrequent use. I'll keep being a keyboard-first note-taker. :)

I guess I need to shop for shake-proof, non-drying pen and cartridges.
You mean like $x^{-1} = 1/x$? That's called a rational function[1], but not a polynomial, so it's not an element of the polynomial ring[2]. Of course you can also consider the algebra of rational functions, but this is a field[3] (almost by definition: you make every polynomial invertible), which means that modding out anything other than 0 yields the zero ring[4].
