He's wrong about Uber and, in my humble opinion, has been wrong about Uber for a long time. Albeit while making claims that are very interesting. For the longest time, he claimed Uber could never possibly be profitable. I almost believed him despite the obvious evidence of taxi companies surviving for decades before Uber even existed. To me the worst case for Uber was always really large but marginally profitable taxi company. It's debatable but I think they've exceeded that.

The UTC time scale which currently serves as the basis for all civil time is defined to be calculated from UT1. If civilization continues to desire the use of mean solar time then UT1 will eventually fail to serve that need.

Within the next millennium the IAU will have to consider defining and naming a new version of UT to serve as the quantity which is measured by analemmatic sundials. A name for that time scale might perhaps be Analemmatic Universal Time (UTA).

ok. We better form a committee. We don't have much time.

That's not generally the case when dealing with things involving plate tectonics, which often have a build up of pressure over time (tens, hundreds, thousands of years). The tension can slowly build up at a plate boundary before snapping to relieve the tension.

In general with phenomena like this it makes less sense to start from the assumption that the root cause for something is just a random number generator that the Earth's programmer decided to hook up to add variability.

Rather, things in the real world have actual causes, and if they typically happen on the order of 100,000 years apart, there's probably a time-need reason for that.

(There are plenty of phenomena that are just statistics, of course.)
This is a fabulous insight.

I would note that end users will have to filter both SEO-like manipulations and whatever biases the AI creator intentionally and unintentionally inserts.

I mean, the present shittiness that is Google is a product of both the endless battle that is SEO vs anti-SEO and an endless pressure for Google themselves to squeeze every ounce of return they out of search results. But stuff won't end with the arrival of ChatGPT.

Does HTTP/2 have support for parallel uploads? As an end-user if I happen to select 1 huge file first, followed by a bunch of tiny files, having to wait for the entire huge file to be streamed to the server before it even knows about any of the others seems less than ideal. It also seems odd there's no way to provide a hint to the server about individual file-sizes up-front (only Content-Length which is your upper bound for the total size of all files).
I'm also curious how clients are expected to generate boundary strings and what is supposed to happen if the uploaded file is discovered to have an instance of the boundary string in it. Or are we just relying on that being sufficiently improbable not to worry about it (a la guid uniqueness...)?

What exactly is keeping us from making concrete with salt water, for things like sidewalks?

In the northeast US, sidewalks frequently are in horrible condition after only a few years, because of the salt used in the winter. Sidewalks do not use steel rebar; they're just simple poured concrete. So why can't they make them with a better mixture that doesn't corrode so easily? (I'm guessing the answer is: replacing them frequently makes a lot of money for some concrete company that the town mayor is friends with.)
A progressive income tax that does not exclude or favor capital income, so that funding ideally targeted transitional assistance, UBI (with a rate ratcheting up with sustained increases in per capita revenue), or, ideally, both so that the adverse effects of labor market shifts which shuffle or concentrate labor demand or shift from labor-intensive to capital-intensive methods are buffered.

As far as I can tell these are only BSL-3 and below agents. Not great, but not select agents either. Use a well fitting P100 full face respirator or any NATO gas mask, as well as pretty much any type of water proof gloves and you should be fine.
I'm not trying to change your mind, but "free" TV is paid for by commercials and those commercials are local. If, for example, the whole world watches a pirated Brazilian stream with Brazilian commercials then the Brazilian advertisers have to pay for the whole event. The current system where the event is licensed to local broadcasters in each country shares the cost more evenly and fairly.
Great idea. We'll just keep trashing our planet until it can't support our outsized population, then we'll destroy each other trying not to starve.

It's not that complicated. A slug is the Imperial unit of mass, like the kilogram. It's just that while in metric the unit of mass is primary and the unit of force (Newton) is derived, in foot-pound-second it is the reverse. Pounds is a fundamental unit of force and the slug is derived.

Just to throw in my prospective, sure some Ikea stuff doesn't move well.

But for me the Billy bookcases have moved great. I have some that have now survived 3 moves and minus some scratches on the side (which isn't really anything unique to Ikea) they look and function like brand new. One of these even has glass doors on it.

Now I have never bought or tried to move a bed from Ikea, but I think their organization stuff like Billy, Kallax, move just fine.
If the contention is that there is a genetic basis for differences in intelligence, a study that doesn't consider genetic evidence is a poor place to start. This is a methodological critique.

From the article:

>Mackintosh, Nisbett et al. and Flynn have all concluded that the slight correlation between g-loading and the test score gap offers no clue to the cause of the gap.[86][87][88] Further reviews of both adoption studies and racial admixture studies have also found no evidence for a genetic component behind group-level IQ differences.[89][90][91][92]
Can’t you handle a lot of that with Automator? Honestly it’s funny to see so many people saying Mac is terrible at this when I can’t imagine a worse OS for shortcuts than windows and Linux you have to script everything. Mac managed to make it user friendly and scriptable at the same time.

I feel like in the 'cynicism' that's popular in tech circles like this about tech as a career, we tend to forget that many people's passions don't really have a lot to do with wanting to be famous or rich. This is to the point that we apparently can't fathom that someone simply wants to do something without any special stereotypically grand aspirations.

Even in tech, some portion of people chose it for the money and some chose it purely as a passion, such that they would've chosen it even if there wasn't as much money to be made. I know that I would still be pursuing the same career even if I didn't get to work on the things I am currently working on.

Remember that plenty of people work 'boring' jobs like garbage collection, being a janitor, being a soldier or riskier stuff with even worse conditions. Many of them are perfectly content with that as long as that doesn't get in the way of things that are important to them.

So it's entirely reasonable that many people would genuinely be willing to happily sacrifice everything to go to Mars, simply for the sake of being there, regardless of any potential glamourous outcomes.
So it’s bias already.
The first sentence of the article "It does something to you when you drive in here for the first time" probably gives you a sense of how worthwhile it'll be reading the rest. If you're looking for a human interest story go right ahead.

> But it’s hard to directly measure the “accuracy” of a prediction like that, because… things change and we can’t rerun the universe

Its hard to measure the accuracy of a prediction like that, but with a big collection of predictions (and since every cycle Silver predicts a lot of individual elections – not just each of the state elections for presidential electors, including both the statewide electors and the by-district electors where those exist, but also house, senate, gubernatorial, and some other races – each election cycle, this exists) you can bucket them in similar probability buckets and say, for instance, and see how often things Silver predicted in each probability bucket came true vs. the probability range of the bucket, and get a good idea of the accuracy of the predictions.
> This is such an interesting aspect of web games: HTML-based UIs.

I am neither a web dev nor (especially) game dev expert , but I recently came across this crossroads when building a small js canvas game. Should I use html elements styled with css for my game UI?

After a very short time thinking about it I decided not to implement the UI this way. It seems like a good idea because html and css are easy to use. Much easier to style a button and assign it a js function than draw buttons on the canvas and check if they’ve been clicked. But I felt like it spanned a boundary that might prove hard to reconcile in some scenarios, but that was more of an instinct than a well reasoned conclusion. I’m curious what others think about it.
DDR5-8000 is already available. DDR5-6000 is 75% as fast, which is not that different. But if you want it you can get the same 128GB/sec from socket AM5 as the RX 6400 right now. Which is the class of GPU they could be integrating, instead of the existing ones which are <17% as fast. It's relatively uncommon for the CPU and GPU to be memory bound on the same workload. Generally it's either one or the other.

And there are GPUs, like the RX 6900 XT, that have more CUs per GB/s than the RX 6400. At the same ratio you could have 20 CU with the bandwidth of dual channel DDR5-8000, which will no doubt become more common and less expensive as socket AM5 matures. So the problem isn't the memory bandwidth, it's that the iGPU could be bigger.

And nothing stops them from making arbitrarily much memory bandwidth available even in existing sockets by including a few GB of HBM on the CPU package. That's essentially what Apple is doing to the exclusion of even having separate memory, but that's not optimal either. Now you can get a Macbook Pro with 96GB of very fast memory (if you want to pay $4000+), but then it can't run the full ~122GB LLaMA model which anyone can do with ~$200 worth of DDR4 in an ordinary desktop PC.

The right answer is to provide a few GB of HBM on the CPU package which can be used as an L4 cache and to provide the bandwidth needed for a fast iGPU, then have memory slots to add an arbitrary amount of ordinary memory so that anything that won't fit there can run at lower speed, instead of not at all. That isn't on offer yet, but it's better, and it's possible, so give it a minute.
Surely one clock is right.

Kind of like how the kilogram used to be always right.
We can certainly compare these apps because there is some overlap, for example:

1. Netlify/Vercel handle production deployments while codepreview does not.

2. Netlify/Vercel have many more features than codepreview, still, codepreview is more flexible in what it can, do you want to pre-create users for each preview? no problem, do you SQS queues? you can get those, etc.

3. Vercel/Netlify are mostly about frontend previews (tied to js) while codepreview handles fullstack previews, in our demo, we showcase a web app preview built with Scala/Scala.js/Postgres, other stacks are supported too (like Java-based ones).

4. Vercel/Netlify charge per user while codepreview charges a fixed fee for all your users.
>The value we place on the skills that IQ tests measure

It's not even that. Imagine there is an isolated population on a remote island that is legitimately very low on general intelligence, "nobody can ever learn to count past ten" kinda low, yet undeniably human.

Yes, HTTP/2 requests run on separate streams and will interleave chunks. They still have some head of line blocking however, since the TCP stream will not allow reading from another stream while waiting for another stream’s chunk to retransmit (for that you need HTTP/3).

Yep, in my experience I’ve had the biggest problems when I overtighten their bolts. You really need to be careful not to tighten past the point where it starts chewing up the wood. But under tightening can have issues too if it makes the structure wobbly, which will also chew up the wood.
Many, many similar buildings did not last though.

It's quite possible that if you want a newly built structure to last that long with the highest probability, you should pick new materials.

In other words, the group that is supposed to be of superior intelligence, and which has the most to gain from a narrative of superiority, maintains, in your view, that they are not superior. Occam's Razor would say that they've come to this conclusion because they've found it to align most neatly with reality.
That's pretty funny - makes me think it's less diaeresis (thanks! TIL) and more akin to the dot over a lower case i or j: A letter with distinct sounds that can't be written without the marking above it.
Yep, it may be more common in some English-speaking cultures, but in the midwest of the US it's extremely common to say stuff like, "I'll never forgive him for <thing>" and it's not meant to be taken literally. A more literal translation would be, "I'm very disappointed in this person's decision to <thing>."

Yep, washable vehicles are perfectly feasible. All police cars in my city have washable rear seats and a drain hole on the floor. If whoever they detain in the rear seat contaminates it with blood, vomit or covid-laden drivel, they can just hose down the whole area.
So it's effectively opt-in then? It strikes me as odd that this wasn't clearly communicated in the blog post, and even more odd that phrasing like "At that point, we’ll also provide guidance on how you can opt out if you’d like to" was used.
To all those commenting regarding IQ and it’s heritability, a) of course there are genetic factors relating to attributes arising from brain function. However the entire concept of IQ, focusing as it does on a selective subset of cognitive abilities, is a flawed measure of “general intelligence”. I personally know of a very highly rated individual who despite their astronomical IQ, is introverted to the point of being a hermit, and who’s prodigious intellect has never been applied to any external endeavour. What value then such intelligence if it produces nothing, changes nothing, and affects nothing? IQ is to general intelligence as height is to beauty. A single factor among many. I believe that those insisting on trotting out IQ studies as a basis for insisting on the superiority or inferiority of one race with respect to another.
