If we can estimate sales as proportional to allocation of counter space in a typical Seattle area dispensary, they are selling approximately 1/3 vapes and concentrates for vaping, 1/3 edibles/drinks/tinctures/topicals, and 1/3 whole plant products. I'd assume at least a quarter to a half of the whole plant product sales are being consumed with a vaping process, like a Volcano, Magic Flight Launchbox, or one of the many of vapes they sell that will take dried and ground plant products (not just weed) instead of concentrate.
To my understanding it'd need to be set-up so the proposition of R&D is granted by unbiased parties. I believe its been linked on HN before, where it describes what system would be best to incentivize research? It stated the dangers of funding the research of only the popular (and contemporary) topics, which tilts R&D away from discovery and more towards 'lets try to yield xyz, and if it fails, lets not release it'. Someone who is motivated to grant something must be completely separate from the publication, most likely those who researched it and many other scientists, & unlike peer review try not to trim any of it out

That's kind of my point, it's a product that doesn't work. It's a language interface that can't understand language.

Did you try that with ChatGPT4, or 3.5? GPT4 has gotten better at this type of problem, it seems.

I think the point people are making is that GPT models are getting better at an exciting/disturbing pace depending on one's point of view, while Siri has been around for years and has only gotten worse.
Suppose that's about as well as such a note can be done, with exception of not guaranteeing against future layoff(s), only alluding to it ("strength").

I closed the browser tab here. It's a usual techbro hustle, nothing to see here, move along. Hype, whatnot, couldn't care less. I am sure they will make money but it'll be detrimental to society. As always.
$1M / year is on the upper end in the engineering school I'm at (average faculty brings in less than half that). I mostly have Ph.D. students (as do most people in my field) that cost ~$100K/ year incl. overhead, or postdocs that cost ~$150K/ year incl. overhead. Things are very different in medical schools where staff scientists are more common and also you have to fund your own salary.

Total household income is > $450K/year, which along with lots of saving early in our career, allows us to live in a home close to work and in a nice neighborhood.
Everyone's experience will be different, and we are certainly lucky, but I am in a pretty similar situation to a dozen other recently-tenured faculty I know in my career/life stage at my university. We work hard, but the differences in hours etc. relative to my friends working at various Bay Area companies seem modest. YMMV.

Not sure how much AI can help. There are plenty of interview questions online. It is also hard for AI to replace the interactive experience. The online mocking websites such as meetapro or interview.io are more helpful in this case.
Somewhat-opinionated tl;dr:

* C23 features

* C++23 features

* OpenMP work, including v5 / 5.1

* Support for more AArch64, arm CPUs

* Support for more Intel CPUs and ISA extensions (man, there are so many of those...)

* More static analyzer checks
This is exactly the reason why I replaced all Amazon echo devices with HomePods.
Siri makes many mistakes, doesn't hear me correctly, doesn't understand me correctly, and so many other issues. I can tolerate all these mistakes that Alexa also makes.

I just cannot tolerate Alexa talking back to me, especially when I'm trying to do something important. I've lost my train of thought too many times because of Alexa.

My standard test for a search engine: "California style burrito in Austin" I got mixed results.

On the sidebar map, it listed a restaurant in New Hampshire. Hilarious, but not what I was looking for.

Is this what all your celebrity friends say? My celebrity friend circle mostly disagrees. Let's take a poll of all the celebrities we personally know and try to get some more data on what's going on inside the minds of "celebrities".

If you think about it, that's happening every time that you get a closed-source binary distributed to you. They're giving you a license to the binary, but not to the source.

It's certainly weird for the binary license to be Apache, rather than some proprietary EULA, though.
That article points to an attempt to archive the images, https://wiki.archiveteam.org/index.php/Imgur. This is a good idea in general, but we need a reliable mechanism. Foundations with massive budgets are a great centralizing and stable archiving location, but I always worry that we need decentralized services too. Ideally all these archiving project would have both (a rich and powerful central repository as well as decentralized copies on random people's computers).

What are the odds that archiveteam.org can make it work? The continual desire to censor naked pics on the internet so replicates the behavior of various idiots censoring literature and art over the ages.

Fortunately, with the rise of Z-Library, I was able to recover her books (she already paid for them, so I'm ok with downloading it from such a shady source).

I guess we have to fall back to piracy if we want to stay in control.

Thanks for the comment!

I was more thinking of the means to define your data "classes" (or whatever it is called on this context) though, rather than how it is passed around.
Now _that_ would be a good, hard challenge for ChatGPT and its ilk. Could you post question and correct answer here? Preferrably also something approximating the original version (when you still didn't know the correct technical terms).
I recently finished my lease from ford and found it to be decent from a cost perspective, primarily because I am foreign (no loan history) and financing rates were very high at the time. I bought the car outright at lease end for the agreed amount (residual value), I could have easily handed it back and walked away. This level of optionality is awesome imo. Be careful however, the financing terms of a lease agreements can be difficult to digest and some companies like Tesla do not allow you to purchase at the end [1]

A constant worldview-pervading awareness of Jewishness as an ethnicity is only really widespread in 4 groups of people: particularly ethnic-chauvinist Jews, the hardest-core antisemites, and their victims.

That's a very fair criticism. I hope no one reading my parent comment thinks I'm disregarding people like your friend. I'm not.

When Google brought the Assistant locally to the Pixel, one of the talking points was how much faster it was.
Maybe it's the emerging neo-Luddite in me, but I'm alarmed at how many people begrudgingly continue to use these tools (accessibility reasons notwithstanding, which is an admittedly major caveat).

I have a very low tolerance for error in things like setting timers, playing music, getting weather, calling someone. This is because I can complete these tasks simply, quickly, and with 100% reliability by hand. The marginal improvements allowed by tools like Siri aren't worth it to me if there is any decrease in reliability.

I'm sure there are use cases I'm not considering, but I've also seen perfectly able-bodied folks shout "call Steve" into their phone for 40 seconds longer than it would have taken to navigate manually. Conceptually, the idea of stacking even more engineering onto these tools to get these tasks working reliably is funny.
Misunderstand in what manner? The written form, the spoken form, or some minor meaning?

The spoken "crack" has currency from around Yorkshire / Lancashire north, meaning "news" / "gossip" / "comversation", it'd not be confused.

South of there is isn't so common. Many folks in the northern part recognise the Irishised spelling, but not all.

Have a read of the first paragraph of this, which (as far as GB goes) is a fair summary:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Craic
> Everything you listed was changed due to robust and organized social movements to effect that change. Because the societal ills were so egregious, society mobilized to neutralize those.

People had illegal gay sex for centuries before society mobilized. So it was the groundswell of “unethical” activity that eventually led to social movement. Same for drugs and whatnot.

I think the societal change for legalizing what I think is ethical (and what billions of people think is ethical enough to do despite laws) will come about after many years of people just not caring and doing what’s convenient.

The convenient argument is just the most straightforward and I think why people continue to pirate. So that answers your question. All the other parts are going into additional detail that you requested.

It’s like if you asked someone why they illegally smoked pot 40 years ago they’d likely say “because I like to get high.” That doesn’t mean that there aren’t deep reasons why, just that that is the most important one.

Obviously legalizing pot cost corporations lots of lost revenue. And modernizing copyright will cost corporations lots of lost revenue as well.
We don't know the upper bound on how many were laid off, just that it was < 50%.

Say that a law says "No person may wear a green shirt."

Now say I go outside in a green shirt. I am now violating the law. If someone pointed this out and said, "that's not legal," they would be correct. A police officer or a court could compel me to change shirt, but I would never go to prison or be fined for wearing a green shirt because the law doesn't define any sort of penalty. It's not a misdemeanor. It's not a felony. It's just not legal.

Similarly, if government agents act in an unconstitutional manner, they are generally not committing any crimes. They are just doing something illegal. The police officers will not face any penalties besides perhaps a poor performance review on their job. The police office itself will not face any penalties besides perhaps, if there are enough serious violations, a DoJ investigation of some sort, which would at most aim to force them to stop doing illegal things.
> Yes, any language model with a true/false output trained for one step with a successful decrease in the loss on the full spectra of text satisfies this criterion

I understand that LLMs seem impressive but they still fail on human behaviour that is sufficiently outside of training sample

And to be sure, I agree that we can model human behaviour in various succesful ways. But I think it is wrong to dismiss NFL. Instead the real challange is defining and structuring the problem domain. If you do that successfuly then all talk about NFL becomes irrelevant
Point me to some. Seriously, the definition linked here clearly has household as the combination. Where are households defined as multiple houses?

For fun, try https://www.prb.org/resources/what-is-a-household/ which says "A household is defined by the U.S. Census Bureau as all the people who occupy a single housing unit, regardless of their relationship to one another."

Did they get it wrong? https://www.census.gov/programs-surveys/cps/technical-docume... seems to agree with them.

Or, maybe, you are just trying to gaslight folks and not actually arguing in good faith...
> iOS/iPadOS does allow you to have one code base that dynamically responds to screen sizes. But almost always the experience for iPad users is terrible.

are you saying the tools aren't there for developers to create equally pleasing (mutatis mutandis) apps, or simply that the developers aren't able to create equally pleasing (mutatis mutandis) apps? Or that designers can't grok the mapping between their equally pleasing ideas and the tools available?
Relative rotary encoders are much cheaper than absolute rotary encoders, and I expect that's the problem here. If the encoders were absolute, one could make them work just like a potentiometer (because potentiometers are absolute). Relative encoders cannot remember where they were last set because they only sense dp/dt, rather than position itself. So it's up to the software to remember the last position, and everybody knows car companies won't pay software engineers tech company salaries, so by definition car companies get B-level and C-level programmers, and the driver gets weird misbehaving audio in the car.
May even be worse as now you have two sets of drivers, using the same roundabout, but with completely different expectations of each other.

> Who's taking down all the solar farms and wind farms before a hurricane?

Nobody. Wind turbines blades can be locked to prevent damage in very high winds [1]. Many offshore turbines are already designed to withstand very high winds (like in the North Sea) and still operate.

Practically speaking a few solar panels might be damaged in a hurricane but not likely the entire array. The damaged panels can be easily replaced.

I'd say that was one minor error in one article (10 paragraphs, 24 sentences) of their ~25K articles.

It's not even that that single article is "flat out wrong": only that paragraph (and maybe the heading). Can you cite any other article as being wrong?

AO looks more reliable than Wikipedia (obviously much lower coverage).
Same here, when asking for an N-channel complement for a P-channel power FET. It would get some of the parameters right, such as dissipation and package type, but would get others wrong, like insisting on 800V Vds parts when the original target was a 50-volt part.

I finally caved in and switched the Siri language to English on all my devices, after trying and failing to keep it in my native language on my iThings while simultaneously keeping my new MacBook in English (because I prefer it on computers, and I wanted the read time out loud at the hour-function turned on - it kept reading it out in a mixture of both languages, wtf?). Turns out it is much better in US English, but still completely useless .

I just set timers using the crown on my watch now, combined with custom google assistant commands to control what I need (lights, tv) through my Nest. Playing and controlling music is too much of an extreme sport for my taste on either assistant, and I've stopped using it for calls too as there's always a 5% chance it will call up some random person I knew decades ago but haven't removed from my contact list because reasons. The name is of course totally different from the few persons I do call on a regular basis.

It's great for joking around with my kid though, laughing at the misinterpretations and stuff like that. And that's about it.

Your experience is atypical in my field (medical biology/ML/drug discovery)/region(SF Bay Area). Think UCSF/UC Berkeley. My professor at UCSF was soooo happy he could hire starting professors at $70K a year (20 years ago; now it's about $120K).

A typical PI would have $10M/year in grants, have no grad students (or 1-2), only postdocs (who are already publishing), live fairly far away (45+minute commute). Once they reach full tenure it's about $250K/year salary (with summer free, but usually 1 day a week consulting with pharma instead), plus a heavy teaching load. And every single one of them is working nights and weekends to just barely keep up.

I looked at that, and concluded there was no way for me to be happy, and moved to industry, where I get paid more, work less, and have a far better work/life balance. I even have more time to do independent research and publish than I ever did as an academic. So I'm always interested in what attributes people who managed to pull off the "two body problem" in the physical sciences are doing.
