I was also thinking about this the other day.

Idea one: Captchas are to become pretty useless as a "is this a human" tactic soon. Maybe it already is, I don't know. What other things could we think off to prove someone is human? I was watching Lex Fridman and Max Tegmark and they were remarking on how Twitter using payment as a differentiator between human and bot is actually really good. And maybe the only way we can reliably determine if someone is a human or not right now. Just by the virtue that having thousands of bots doing something, that suddenly costs $5 per event will deter most attacks. Integrating online identification systems from various countries could be one tactic (such as https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BankID that we use in Sweden to log in to basically any online service). New startup: Un-botable authentication as a service.

Idea two: Since captchas are useless, we'll be able to do bots that can do almost everything on the web. No need for writing automation scripts, headless browsers, regexp etc. Just feed real visual data from browser to GPT-4 (or MiniGPT-4 or similar). Give instructions like "You need to accomplish this task: Go to facebook.com and create a user account and be friends with 100 people and act like a human. Follow the instructions on the website.". Then let the bot figure out where to move the mouse and send click events, keyboard events etc. Obviously much slower than a scripted bot, but would be very hard to detect as a bot. Good for E2E testing also? New startup: WebGPT: Bots that can do any task on any website. TestGPT: E2E testing service. Just write test instructions like "Make sure the login works on /login" and you're done! And you thought flaky tests were a thing of the past... Would be kind of cool for UX testing also. "You are a 43 year old truck driver in Spain, please go to news.ycombinator.com and see how easy it is for you to register an account, log in, go to any news story and make a new comment. Report anything you think is confusing."
> No, they use hotel software that integrates and synchronizes instantly with all platforms, their own web site and the front desk.

Yes, I think that's feasible. However, I sometimes stay at medium to small size hotels (doing my reservation through Booking or other 3rd parties) but when I get to the place, I can see them managing my stay using Excel files or similar "almost by hand" methods. So I was skeptical that those kind of places had actually a system that can automatically synchronize with all the third party platforms they use in real time.
Just to add to the confusion, there's another older RTX 6000 with 24GB ram. This is from an even older generation, same as the GeForce 20 series.
A very interesting, poetic interpretation - thank you for sharing.

Google Cloud revenue (which includes Workspace revenue) was $26B in 2022. That's only 10% of Google's total revenue, but to put it in perspective, all of Salesforce did $31B.
Our reaction was inevitable due to the flaws of human nature. It’s part of the pandemic. Kind of like how stampedes are inevitable after a certain human body density with the proper noise trigger.
The thing is, machine learning sorta requires a few math prerequisites: linear algebra, differential equations, and to some degree vector calculus. Most web developers don’t have this background.

It's permissible to create a copy for personal use, so long as you don't distribute the copy. Copyright is primarily about distribution of copies, not the making of copies themselves.
It is interesting that there is no direct deposit requirement for this account. Most traditional (Truist, BofA) and competitor banks (Sofi) offer incentives to encourage direct deposit for the end users. I wonder what other strategies Apple will be using to drive deposits in lieu of this.

It is also in Apple's best interest to drive deposits, as most of these agreements end up with the bank (GS) and the provider (Apple) splitting the interest earned. Even if they are currently passing most of the interest to the customer for now, they will want to build up deposits as high as possible so they can lower rates in the future and print money.
Sure, I'm not suggesting that what Nintendo is doing isn't in their own best interest, given how most gamers will continue to just buy more Nintendo products.

I'm in a minority where Nintendo's actions, on top of a selection of games that I find pretty lackluster, have caused me to give up on them and refuse them another shiny nickel. Attacking fans, IMO, is a no-no. Attacking the abandonware community is especially unacceptable. One can enjoy their games, but I don't get why people defend their being so draconian, given that any loss of revenue they claim over things like game walkthroughs is dubious, to say the least.
2% cash back on any Apple Pay purchase is worth using.
Why is everyone so worried that Facebook, etc. will pull out of the App Store and require sideloading on iOS just because it'll be possible, when they haven't pulled out of the Play Store or required sideloading on Android where that's already been possible all along?
Though, in this case, the problematic technique seems to have been imported from New Zealand.
I really like the Fastmail calendar because it has months on a giant scroll, so one leads seamlessly into the next. It works quite well for me because I really think on a "weeks" basis but knowing the month is still important.
My nightmare scenario is if every country and mobile reseller will come up with their own app store, and pre-load/make users use those. Once Apple gave in, they will press further to make this happen.

These stores would onboard Facebook and other big apps, but regular solo dev will have to submit each app to a dozen of different stores and comply with a dozen of different requirements and review processes or pass on user share to some local dev who copies the idea quickly enough.
The 2% back on all touchless/apply pay integrations is what sold it for me.
I plan to do some volunteer work in teaching. What's the best way to find "the good stuff" in terms of educational research?
Disruptive? It's a bog standard savings account with Apple's terrible Wallet interface. It's convenient if you have and actually use an Apple Card I guess. I personally only use my Apple card for Apple purchases because that's the only place you actually get a good rate, and I just use other cards with better cash back on everything else.
It probably wont succeed, the play store still exists for a reason.

Even though it's definitely not sufficient for English spelling, I think it's pretty important to start with phonics. It teaches kids how the alphabet is supposed to work, and to be fair, it does work that way for most of the simple words young readers will encounter.

It's a good little lesson about "ideals" or something too, eventually. It's fun when you get to joke with your kids about how strange the spelling of some words are.

I just watched Megamind for the first time with my two kids yesterday, and some of the humor is based on Megamind constantly mispronouncing words ("school" becomes "shool", "Metro City" is pronounced as one word, like "atrocity", etc). My older son thought that was funny, my younger son didn't get it.
"true creatives"

My experience is that such creatures don't really exist, but there are those that pretend to be the creator class.
Please read the original article. You're comparing voluntarily part time work to save for a luxury, to being compelled to work - i.e.: having an adult job, and a deeply unpleasant and dangerous one at that.

Is he though? Looking about his top videos, I see lots of "pro gaming" or speedruns, so I circle back to my earlier question of who is their core audience? I suspect this kind of content doesn't move the needle on units sold very much.

Why does this pay more interest than Marcus?
The one strategy mentioned in the article is cashback from Apple Card purchases will go straight into the savings account.

While not huge on an individual basis, it could be a large $$ across the entire Apple Card user base (from Goldman's perspective)
It applies to me too. I have absolutely no problem with public records that show if I have substantial ownership or a board seat in a private corporation. In fact my home country Finland has such a public company registry.

To be honest, we would probably better serve our students in general by presenting integration as a numerical approximation, doing enough symbolic stuff to demonstrate that some integrations can be solved that way, doing enough other stuff to demonstrate why there's a ton of integrations that have no closed-form solution with any conventional functions, and then moving on to more productive things rather than blow over a full semester grinding out integrations. Integration by parts is useful as a method for exploring the concept more deeply, and there's a few other such tricks to be used primarily for ensuring the concepts are understood better. But I'm not convinced there's a lot of value in all these integration tricks.

Derivatives are friendly enough that I feel like a certain amount of grinding is justifiable, and it's justifiable as practice for symbolic manipulations in general. But we're leaving a lot of useful stuff on the table while we're jamming down how to integrate with trig identities and other such things.

But it's all pie in the sky anyhow. The Curriculum Must Not Be Changed. The Curriculum Is Perfect. Nothing Can Be Dropped From The Curriculum. I don't know what miracle would have to be worked to get people to reconsider the curriculum from some sensible perspective of what students should be taught rather than the way that question happened to be answered about 100 years ago when the curriculum froze into place, but it probably involves the total destruction of the school system at this point. I can't even get people to process the idea that shoving incomprehensible combinations of 450-year-old words in what is effectively another language at children and telling them this is High True Art is a bad idea, what chance is there of prying away the utterly vital fact that cos(θ/2) = SqRt((1 + cos(θ))/2) out of The Curriculum?

Maybe if colleges continue dropping the SAT and the ACT we can start actually fixing these curricula.
> For obvious reasons testing all inventions comprehensively is extremely time consuming

that's true, but the 112 section of the statute says you have to prove that you "have" the invention, with a Written Description and an Enabling specification. Examiners do make 112 rejections all the time. This merely implements the intentions of 112.
I feel somewhat confused; my current Wells Fargo saving account APY is 0.01% where did I go wrong? Seems like I might be shifting my money to a new home.

What will you do after its too difficult to tell how it was created on the surface level? Vet all media that comes into your life?
I hope that some day you manage to let go of your hatred.
I wasn't actually disagreeing with you, just pointing out that at worst the companies are lying by omission. That said I don't think there is a one size fits all. LiFePo4 are great where weight matters more than temperature such as boats, RV's or anything that is mobile. The power used by the heating pads in some cases is offset by the higher capacity and ability to maintain voltage at lower charge state.

For off-grid buildings lead/AGM is fine especially if not depending on solar and perhaps instead keeping a charge from a water turbine from a river or stream. AGM have significantly less charge cycles than LiFePo4 and the disparity is growing more every year. China went both Sodium and LifePo4 due to logistical and shipping issues with some of the materials required in Li-ion. Li-ion batteries also have heating pads. I can't see AGM being viable in solar farms due to the low charge cycle ratings. Either that or whoever the manufacture is will be very happy as those batteries will have to be cycled out quickly.

I have 4 AGM batteries for a few of my inverters that need higher surge capacity in a smaller space and the UPS driver remembers me for it. Now they make me get the batteries out of their truck. Since I keep the AGM's fully charged with commercial power the charge cycles are less of an issue for me and thus the TCO/ROI is acceptable. LiFePo4 current ratings are catching up though. Now I can get one that has a 200+ Amp discharge rating and I am told there will be one with a 300AH/320 Amp discharge rating soon.

I am most curious about what comes next. The 3D printed solid state batteries look very interesting. 50% of the weight for the same capacity, higher C rating, significantly safer. Mass production is just starting for those so time will tell I guess.

Regarding income mobility, see Figure III of this study by Chetty: https://academic.oup.com/qje/article/135/2/711/5687353. Figure III shows child income on the Y axis versus parent income in the X axis. Compare the green line (Asians) to the blue line (whites).

Although most Asians came here in the 20th century, this pattern holds historically: https://www.nber.org/papers/w22748 (“Asians achieved extraordinary upward mobility relative to blacks and whites for every cohort born in California since 1920. This mobility stemmed primarily from gains in earnings conditional on education, rather than unusual educational mobility.”). This paper shows that the upward mobility was shown “conditional on education”—I.e. even when comparing similarly educated people.

From 1980 to 1990, the median income of Vietnamese Americans (who came here in the 1970s as poor refugees) doubled, to almost match the national median at the time: https://www.learningforjustice.org/sites/default/files/kits/.... Today, the median household income for US-born Vietnamese Americans is higher than for white Americans: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vietnamese_Americans

On the other statistics. Incarceration: https://bjs.ojp.gov/content/pub/pdf/ji19.pdf (Table 2). In local jails, Asians are incarcerated at a rate of 25 per 100,000 versus 184 per 100,000 for whites.

Asian Americans have an average life expectancy of 86.3, versus 78.5 for whites: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4567918. The Asian-white gap is double the white-black gap. This is true even though Asians are slightly more likely to be uninsured than white Americans. The life expectancy for Asian Americans is 2 years longer than Japan, and a year and a half longer than Singapore.

There is no “bamboo ceiling.” Asians hold 4.6% of Fortune 500 board seats: https://www2.deloitte.com/content/dam/Deloitte/us/Documents/.... That’s probably overrepresentation if you consider that Asians skew almost 8 years younger than whites and older Asians often aren’t English fluent/lack prestigious American degrees/etc.

In my opinion, the progressive Asian trend of jumping on the racial liberalism train is a profoundly bad idea. It’s not in our self interest for white people to start becoming race conscious.
Impact they have on society is based on completely voluntary interactions by millions of users. Some choose to upload videos, some choose to watch them, and all of them are completely okay with Pornhub being private.

You suggest that an unrelated third party (government) comes into these interactions, invents a "society", which isn't really a subject but an abstract category, insists that it acts on behalf of it, and unlike all previous actors, wants to force submission not with voluntary transactions, but with the use of force.

I can't see how a reasonable human being would possibly advocate for something so amoral.
I kind of agree, but I'd add that I don't think it's a bad thing.

I have heard many teachers make this same criticism and it's so odd to me. Little children learn to read first by literally reading out loud. It's only later that 'silent' reading develops, and for most of us (I'd venture), we silently read by internally 'hearing' the audio version. At least I do (I'm listening to myself narrate this comment as I type it out silently). How else can you learn to read if not sounding out? I clearly remember myself learning to read, sounding out words and then being like 'oh that word is X'. And I see the same wheels turning with my daughter.
I think 12 year olds are incredibly capable and curious. I also know that the only thing preventing them from being exploited in the labour market like adults are the scant legal protects that exist to prevent them from being treated as adult employees. Please read the original article to see why - since it provides and example of an industry where these protections don't exist.
This is a stretch. I don't buy it.

Interesting that the primary way they are advertising to fund this is vis Apple Card’s rewards eg your cash back gets deposited in this savings account. So it is encouraging you to use your Apple Card more.
I get almost 4.6% and am not tied to Apple's ecosystem, so I doubt banks care.
If Samsung is smart, then they ensure that their users gets access to new Bing as default, which means that even if people switch back (read get their nerdy friends to switch them back) they will find that Google is missing quite a lot.

Yeah was curious about this too. From the article:

Meanwhile, Marcus by Goldman Sachs just bumped their APY to 3.9%.

If you buy into server rendering before you write a single line of code and understand it's a trade-off it turns out to be only mildly unpleasant in practice.

The best such codebase I can think of might still have been better off overall as an enriched MPA, but given how few normal pages it had compared to the app-ish bits - thereby making staying on a single technology stack a bigger advantage - I'm not quite willing to say it -definitely- would've been better as an enriched MPA. Not quite ;)

I got hooked on Apple Card when my other Visa got suddenly suspended after I made a legit purchase abroad, and I was in a store and I had the Apple Card up and running in less than 1 minute on my iPhone. Really changed my perception of how the credit card experience should work.

Nah it's just a partnership with Goldman.
High yield savings accounts are all above 3% at this point- you're getting hosed if you're getting .01%.
I agree in that the Canadian ISP market has had a rough ride for a long time. Until the mid 2000s when Cogent and other folks (GTT) rolled into Canada, TELUS, Bell and other companies were charging obscene rates for IP transit.

For several years the TELUS and Bell peering PNIs (OC12s back then) would run hot regularly in domestic Canada - for years.

You'll never get them to peer openly, but at best you can get them to offer market rates for paid peer (which is what folks have tried to do in the US).
