It is a common way to measure battery charge through a hydrometer in automobiles batteries (not the sealed type):

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydrometer

>Battery hydrometer

The state of charge of a lead-acid battery can be estimated from the density of the sulfuric acid solution used as electrolyte. A hydrometer calibrated to read specific gravity relative to water at 60 °F (16 °C) is a standard tool for servicing automobile batteries.

And everyone hates messing with payroll, even if your employer has a good system it's an opening for problems.

My previous employer had at least two different Ceridian installs, one was for W2s and the other was for regular payroll, they used different passwords, half the time they'd expire out by the time you logged in and you'd have to get HR to reset it, etc. And even if you want to go back and mess with it, when does it take effect? A lot of people don't have a cushion sitting in a bank account and can't afford to have a paycheck disappear and then spend a couple days pairing their credit card payment to the new bank account etc.

That's why you can get those $600 promos or whatever if you open a new checking account and turn on an auto-deposit. Most people will set it and leave it.

IIRC, about 65% of children just learn to read with whatever method. The remainder need different strategies or more time or both to help.

I'm like you. I started reading as a 4 year old because my parents pace was too slow. IIRC, I was usually 3-4 grade levels ahead of whatever was expected in school. My son is not. He plateaued on reading in first grade and didn't really advance -- until he did towards the end of grade 2. Funny enough, he is and remains way ahead of the class in math - he sat down one weekend and completed his math book for the year in October.

The key thing is that parents need to be engaged. If there's a problem, be the squeaky wheel!

Don't buy Apple Stock instead of keeping some cash in a bank account.

* If you need cash in an emergency it's possible that Apple stock will be negatively effected by the same emergency.

* Anything that causes FDIC to fail will negatively impact Apple Stock, causing you to lose a lot of the value you were trying to protect against that exact situation.

* Cash in a bank account is more liquid than a stock. It's common for the sale of a stock to result in usable cash after 3 business days. I can withdrawal from a savings account 24/7. If you have an unplanned and urgent situation cash is fantastic.

* The odds are higher than the US Government stays solvent over the next 120 years than Apple does. Governments are designed for more long term stability than companies.
I don't know if you're right or wrong, or if there even is such a dichotomy, but I struggle with the same thing with one of our products. It's basically Linux running on an ARM chip, with our stuff on top. We call if "firmware" for what are probably reasons of habit, because all of our other products actually do use what I would call firmware. And when we hire for the team, we specify "embedded programmers". But I dunno, this board (single-core though it might be) would have suited me just fine as a desktop box twenty years ago. It runs a full OS, it runs a web server for the UI, services in the background; it's a reachable server in a teeny-tiny box if you ask me. Writing code for it is much like writing any other Linux app. Is it really "firmware"? Do we really need "embedded programmers"?

I would argue "no" on both points.
Both gold and crypto have wildly different profiles than cash in a high interest savings account, so much so that suggesting them as a plug in alternative is at best disingenuous.

Not that that's always way you want! But most people need some sort of emergency fund, and very few things are liquid enough and stable enough to meet this need well. Laddered CD's, etc. can work but are fiddly. Cash accounts are king here for a reason.

On the long term investment side: sure cash accounts are a bad idea. On the other hand, the idea that the stock market is "gambling" but defi lending isn't is - idiosyncratic.
For Super Smash Bros Melee in particular, I think it's just a ridiculously in-depth game, more than it has any right to be. Nintendo essentially invented an entire new sub-genre of the platform fighting game and perfected it in basically two iterations. It's pretty easy to pick up and play, but it has surprising depth. It's challenging to illustrate briefly, but for example, just take a look at what the map of control stick actions looks like from resting state:

https://i.imgur.com/oAROhEq.png

The truth is, even though I don't play video games much at all any more, I played this game when I was younger and kept a pulse on it since, so I know when a character matchup is bad, and I can recognize difficult techniques like ledge dashing or amsah teching. But, I argue as well that even though it's silly and even though you may not be able to pick out all of the ridiculous high-level play going on in a match, the energy of competitive gaming is simply infectious. It's hard to pick just one video, but maybe something here will resonate with folks unfamiliar. Is it a little silly? Yes, definitely. But the energy is infectious. It draws me in.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Im68s2z0AAY

The newest game in the series, Super Smash Bros Ultimate, has a commendable competitive scene, even though Nintendo has kind of nerfed a lot of the things that made Melee so competitively interesting later on in the series (ledge hogging, wave dashing, ...) and focused more on making a party game.

People keep playing Melee though, with tournaments going on pretty much all the time (and getting shut down all the time, too), even though they usually have to run at a financial loss, for the love of the sport, as lacking official blessing, it is hard to attract advertisers and sponsors. But seriously, just take a look at what they've done with Slippi.gg: They've essentially taken this old game and added rollback netcode and matchmaking to it. It's not exactly unheard of amount of dedication, but I find it very impressive nonetheless.

When I look at what happened to this scene, I can't help but feel there is a lot of missed opportunity any way you slice it. But maybe, I'm just out of touch and nostalgic.

Looks like you're misunderstanding. There is a need to downvote because you're projecting your opinion (that some people strongly disagree with) as "advice", as if it's a fact. It's correct to downvote imho, which is what I did.

Similar to Wikipedia, it's ok, if not preferable, to link words in the middle of a sentence. I prefer it, some people I know prefer it. It's ok to give advice, but when the jury is still out, it's crucial to be humble.

Yeah, in college I’ve worked with step/unit functions in both my “differential equations” and “signal and systems” classes for sure.

But it never occurred to me and it was never presented by professors or TAs that they were essentially the same as floor/ceiling functions.

Or maybe I just forgot since it’s been more than a decade?

Git is a great example of terrible design; Linus has said this repeatedly (and it's in the name).

Most successful open source software is simply designed however one person thought it made sense. Often this design ends up being reworked into a new major version, but again, in most open source projects the goal is just better design without deference to communication structure.
My understanding is that LLaMa's architecture is open, so the most difficult part is:

1. Getting data of equal or better quality

2. Securing the funding/hardware required for training

3. Learning/figuring out the training challenges needed to tune the process (the PhD part)

It seems #1 is the relatively lowest hanging fruit and a prerequisite for the other two, and that's what the project is (rightfully) tackling at this stage.
#2 could be solved by many ways, and doesn't require much innovation if the project and the team are solid.
Which takes me to #3, which on the other hand seems to be the make or break part of the project.

I'm not one to doubt the technical prowesses of the RedPajama's team and their contributors, I rather see it economically. How can an AI open-source project compete with big tech in attracting the brilliant minds of our generation? It's enough to look at levels.xyz to see the battle is not ... level.

There's a serious economical challenge in here to have any sort of sustainable open source initiative in AI.

Thanks. Your comment about BLIP2 already projecting RGB inputs into (a different) text token space makes sense to me. See also fpgaminer's comment at https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=35603246 . However, I don't see how the universal approximation theorem is relevant here. The fact that deep models with sufficient capacity can approximate any function does not imply that two deep models trained independently of each other on different tasks will learn to approximate functions that relate to each other only by a linear transformation.

No such thing really happened on Android. Facebook is still there.

But the opposite happened , apps were pushed out from the Store and if you are using iOS you are screwed but on Android you could decide to take the risk and side load the app from the official website. I just had to do this, I installed solar panels and they are made by Huawei, thx to USA-China wars , Huawei apps are no longer in google Play and Huawei phones do not contain Google Play support anymore (or last time I checked)

The problem with object oriented languages is that they are fundamentally compositional in their use. You have to know all the relevant pieces (objects) for solving your problem and how they all fit together. They are very powerful for solving complex problems, but they require significant expertise to employ.

On the other hand, if there is a small DSL that can express the problem at the level of surface syntax instead of a full compositional system then it is much easier to learn, check, and correct. That full compositional system may be what sits behind the language as the semantic layer, but having it be the only interface without any syntactic support is unhelpfully opaque for new users.

Agree but maybe only show labels for the largest modules and functions and also scale node size relative to function and module size.
This is the best answer. It makes sense to me. Thank you :-)
My only caveat here is that I'm actually really curious to see a ruling about whether model weights can be copyrighted.

I don't think the "Open Source" label people are using is accurate, and I heavily agree that a common thing that companies seem to be trying to do in this space is release what are essentially closed models while calling them open, and it's a really dangerous direction for AI to go. So nothing in your comment is wrong.

But it also feels a little bit like ceding ground to just assume that Llama can't be used commercially just because Facebook says it can't. I never signed a EULA with them, that claim depends entirely on whether or not model weights are under copyright (or under some similar form of IP protection, some people have brought up trade secrets).

And I don't have a super-strong opinion necessarily, but I'm not sure that's a safe assumption for people to make, and I kind of think it might be good to throw an asterisk next to "can't be used for commercial projects" whenever we talk about Llama's restrictions.

But again, I agree with you, it's not the same as saying Llama is Open Source. Even if it does get ruled as having weaker protections, I don't think the term would really apply.
Which part doesn't scale? From my experience, the technique of looking at the graph of various components in the function has been really useful.
It is very tempting (and very easy) to think about firmware as simply software that you can update willy-nilly and at will, and things will always go back when things go bad. But there is a reason that most embedded firmware engineers are on their org's hardware team, and not software team. If I push a change that requires a JTAG to reverse, then from the customer's point of view, it is damaged.

The bootloader that allows you to revert back to prior firmware, is itself firmware. If that gets broken by a firmware update, then your device is effectively damaged.
This is the first time I've seen anyone else mention EOS on HN. I'm an Integrator at a 30-person web design/marketing agency (we began self-implementing EOS in 2019). I've been working here for 8 years and kind of grew into the role.

If this is a direction the OP goes down, then they as Visionary need to be very willing to let go of a lot of things and stop having a hand in everything. That's been the biggest "secret" to our success with it.

It can't really work if the Visionary insists on being the one to continue making decisions about the "in the business" stuff. This does require trust and friction between CEO and COO.
Filing taxes in the UK literally takes 20 minutes online and requires no special software, and like 95% of people will never have to do it.
No longer in the 20th and 21st, due to a lot of effects. Probably the most significant are communication technology and transportation technology; democratic organization is a lot easier across vast territory when something like the telegraph has come along. The crazy accident of an (eventually) continent-spanning empire setting up a representative democratic structure of government and then going militarily unchallenged long enough (mostly due to geography and technological distribution) to build up into a formidable military power unchallenged should also not be overlooked.

But earlier than that, European history in particular is rife with small communities and larger republics or representative democracies eventually getting devoured by the military ambitions of the few and the many who follow them as divine leaders or power-mongers.

I expect Apple to be more proactive in these regards to capture the minds of a lightning-fast growing market increasingly slipping through its control (ChatGPT can be accessed from anywhere) and offer more incentives to developers, co-marketing being the lowest starting point.. probably something they're already working on and we didn't see the results of yet.

Yes, I read the article that literally opens by saying Nintendo warned players it may delete levels for being unpopular.

I am talking to you because after you answered my first question, I assumed that you had personal experience with your children being upset to the point of tears because they thought that they could no longer play some levels they made that had been deleted from Nintendo's servers. Was this assumption correct?
