Isn’t the 538 approach of rigorous modeling a lot less likely to be manipulation than than the often vibes-based approach it replaced? Their predictions are based on actual polling, so they won’t take a candidate with real support and propaganda the support away with their forecasts.
Also, the numbers with which Trump won (he was the only Presidential candidate, or at least one of a couple, to win despite getting fewer overall votes), it’s pretty clear his odds were indeed low.
> Our key insight in SRNIC is that, on-chip data structures and their memory requirements in RNICs can be minimized with careful protocol and architecture co-designs to improve connection scalability. Guided by this insight, we analyze all data structures involved in an RDMA conceptual model, and remove them as many as possible with RDMA protocol header modifications and architectural innovations, including cache-free QP scheduler and memory-free selective repeat. We implement a fully functional SRNIC prototype using FPGA. Experiments show that, SRNIC achieves 10K performant connections on chip and outperforms commercial RNICs by 18x in terms of normalized connection scalability (i.e., the number of performant connections per 1MB memory), while achieving 97 Gbps throughput and 3.3 μs latency with less than 5% CPU overhead, and maintaining high network scalability.

I think a lot of it is driven by the desire for a product/service to exist, rather than the hard nosed financial decision to “Invest.”The crazy growth of companies like beyond meat and tesla are weird to number crunching investors but retail wants electric cars and not-meat to exist because the individuals think it will improve their quality of life.

You’re completely correct about those financials making no sense though.
This only works where there is a candidate you want to win, who possibly can win. For example, where I vote in the UK, there are only two choices: Conservative or Liberal Democrat. Which you vote for has more to do with which of those you dislike least and not which is preferable (which would, frankly, be a golden retriever in a rosette, who would be more effective than either party).
Even as a protocols nerd, I had no idea what you were talking about, and had to use some google-fu to figure it out.

I think part of the theory with space based solar is to put many small collectors all over the place and avoid some of the need for all that heavy duty long distance transmission infrastructure.

But any benefit there also goes out the window if the SBS reciever is too large or dangerous or scary or ugly to have located all over the place.
As softsound says, even with its limits, just having basic tables now feels like such a win. It took so long.

I think they always kinda hated tables, and simple or databases ones, editing and formatting wise it's still the worse part to deal with in Notion.

At the same time the whole product got so much slower. I regularly see the "click here to see latest version" head banner as my browser local version falls out of sync, when online collaboration and quasi-realtime sync was the whole point of Notion.

Adding to timezones: the new date shortcuts (@today etc.) are so close, yet so frustrating to deal with on auto-generated pages on regular schedules. Say you schedule a report page to be created on friday morning so you get to fill it for the monday meeting, good luck with dynamically setting the dates.
An attempt at a steelman argument is that it has the potential to influence the outcome by shifting voter attitudes. If we consider the 2016 election, since most predictions were leaning so heavily towards Hillary Clinton that might've caused her supporters to be less likely to go out and vote, thinking that she's already likely to win so there's no need for them to participate. If the messaging had been that the election is going to be extremely close and every single vote matters then you might've gotten improved voter participation. At least this is one variation of argument which I've encountered, but I'm not sure if there's strong empirical research to back up the claim.

After the lesson of 2016, messaging about election participation for 2020 was much more active which lead to the highest voter turnout of the century.

Edit: Upon further reflection, I'm actually not fully convinced of this line of thinking. Or at least I think it's not a fully accurate representation. We can also consider the other perspective in 2016, if Donald Trump supporters had thought the election was hopeless because of polling, they probably wouldn't have bothered to go vote. Although my understanding is that Republicans are already inherently less trusting of these kinds of systems, which might provide a plausible explanation for why they weren't as negatively affected.

Em.... I'm an amateur carpenter and $200 is probably the least I'll charge you for a custom side table (without drawers).

Skilled carpenters charge a lot more.

A bar stool will probably run you at $1000. Consider that mass produced chairs are like $100-200 a piece from IKEA.

sizeup is excellent. add swish and it's even better.
The master carpenter guy I'm referring to is very intelligent and has worked very hard at his craft for tens of years. He didn't wake up at 18 years old knowing how to craft mantle pieces or build the perfect kitchen table. He studied, practiced, applied himself consistently to jobs of increasing size and artistic requirement over many years.

From my exposure to craftsman and trades, I think being truly successful in trade is about 'really applying yourself' and developing real expertise and gradually expanding that expertise over time, and then making intelligent business decisions.
It is really very similar to most technical disciplines: software engineering, electrical engineering, etc.

I worked construction and home remodels for a while in college and then as an electricians 'helper'... also worked in cabinet shop and doing basic finish carpentry. Most people on job sites in the 90's had no drive to improve themselves. Many of them clocked off the job, drove home, picked up a 6 or 12-pack on the way, and drank the rest of night. Rinse, repeat the next day. These folks are probably the majority and thus pull down the mean/median.

But capable people can make a lot of money in the trades. If you are smart enough, and hard working enough, to get a BS in CS. You were probably also capable of starting in a trade at 18-20yrs old and building a >250K profit (income for yourself) per year business.
You could tell the dudes on the sites who were going places...
I don’t think this is the case at all. The whole purpose of private forecasting is to judge how your efforts are doing with the electorate, and adjust your strategy, poll/assess again, rinse and repeat.

They don’t just forecast and shrug at the results.
I haven't seen this hold true at all.

People who know what a Knoll Wassily is worth and are willing to pay anything near what it's worth just buy a new one.

To everyone else, it's just that weird leather chair you see in every office because of knockoffs, and you'll be competing with knockoffs on pricing. The fact you put "ORIGINAL KNOLL" in your listing won't mean anything to them.

Around here Facebook Marketplace is chock full of furniture like that. While I was waiting for my furniture to be shipped across the chair I was looking for a temporary dining set: I ended up with $2,000 marble table for $300 because the owner had underestimated how long it'd take to sell and needed someone to pick it up in 48 hours.

But that in itself doesn't seem to be in conflict with "log everything". Unless you're suggesting that logging everything makes you try to be more productive than you should be, and maybe those YouTube breaks and arguing with people on the internet about politics are actually useful breaks or something that make the overall experience more sustainable? I.e. maybe a lot of the stuff you kinda regret when you look back on it actually served an important purpose?

I don't actually believe one way or the other particularly strongly. There's just something about the outcome that bothers me because I don't understand it.

The site exclusion very much does _not_ work for images, just FYI.

For example, and especially since Pinterest is mentioned in your help page, I tried the following in the image search: the far side gallery -site:pinterest

It is a good example, because Pinterest in particular, with all its TLDs, seems to really excessively pollute search results. Changing it up to -site:pinterest.com does catch those, but still not all the other TLDs, so I guess it would be a case of whack-a-mole for the rest.
Lawyer: Restrict Act Makes Us Criminals
Fantastic questions! Re: working/not working at times -- this is still an issue. It's why I'm building PhaseLLM more broadly (https://github.com/wgryc/phasellm) -- need a robust pipeline that can also "reset" parts of itself if an LLM makes errors or mistakes.

You can see my prompts in this file: https://github.com/wgryc/phasellm/blob/main/demos-and-produc... I autogenerate a fairly big starting prompt and keep resubmitting it. It describes the data set extensively, which helps quite a bit.

That being said, a lot more can be done here around prompt optimization + making this more robust.
Thanks for asking！MyScale's advanced vector indexes, such as HNSW/HNSWSQ, are designed to provide much faster and more efficient search capabilities for large-scale vector data. Additionally, MyScale's proprietary algorithms further enhance the search capabilities of our vector indexes, allowing for more accurate and relevant search results.

In comparison, pgvector's plugin for Postgres is a valuable tool for adding vector support to Postgres, but it does not offer the same level of performance and advanced features as MyScale. Furthermore, MyScale's storage-optimized instances and distributed support for large-scale vector data provide additional benefits that are not available with pgvector. With MyScale, users can focus on their applications and data, while leaving the management and scaling of their vector database to us.
Which is remarkably stupid considering election day is voting for dozens or more positions.
That is great. Does your company ever use third party recruiters (aka "head hunters")? If so, how do you structure your recruiting contract with them so that you avoid bias and use objective signals? I'm wondering what language one could put in such a contract. I'm imagining something like this:

"Recruiter will supply all sources of information consulted prior to offering candidate for consideration, if it is discovered that undisclosed sources were used, recruiter agrees to forfeit their fee."
The Billy I bought in 2020 is certainly of disposable quality. It barely holds the weight of the books thus barely performs its primary function.

Butcher block is environmentally friendly because it’s made from lots of small pieces that might otherwise be scrap.

I thought the whole idea of a democracy is to carry out the will of the people through the politicians they vote into power. In that case, politicians following polls is the most ideal way. It's not like the people a large number of politicians they can vote into specific offices; almost always it's a choice between a small number of politicians.
When developing PyTorch, we also run into a lot of mixed Python/C++ language situations.

> Lossless compression is equivalent to intelligence.

The article has all of the foundations to make a much more reasoned and perhaps more interesting claim: intelligence is equivalent to the size of one's abstraction inventory, and abstraction utility is measured by prediction success in abstraction-space.

The fact is that humans' short term memory capacity[1], necessitates the hoisting of raw sense data into an abstract space, and doing so implies a very real lossy process. We don't really make much of a fuss when ontologizing the world, but it's a bit strange doing that specifically when referencing Hegel.

The author is as guilty as anyone who, during the process of abstraction, forgets they have done so and thinks that the concept of a cat implies that cats are some universal essence made manifest. Forms are constantly trying to convince us that they're real.

1. Its a web app primarily. Its a progressive web app, so you can use it on your phone as well. I'm on iOS and my partner is on Android and both work well so far. :)

2. Its stored on a central database with DigitalOcean. I do like the idea of being able to store it locally on a phone. But I haven't built that yet.

I totally get your rant. I guess there will always be things that we miss or skip or forget doing. For me its important that I don't get stressed over the DoNoDo list, because there is always going to be something and more. Instead, I focus on what I do end up doing. At the end of the day, I look back at my list and feel pretty good about it, because a year ago I wouldn't have been able to do as much. Its been a process to get here, but I'm quite happy that I did. :)
Not making a judgment about his methods or not, but he was pretty accurate more than once; in 2008 he predicted 49/50 states correctly in the US presidential election, and in 2012 he predicted all 50 correctly. You might be right that he isn't as smart as people think, but "got lucky one year" is an exaggeration.
Inequalities can be transformed into equations quite easily, by adding variables:

Consider a strict inequality with real variables x_i:

f(x_1,...,x_n) > 0

By adding the variable y we obtain an equivalent equation:

f(x_1,...,x_n) = y^-2

This is correct because y^-2 is always strictly positive.

If f is a polynomial, the above can be written as a polynomial equation like so:

f(x_1,...,x_n) * y^2 = 1

To transform a non-strict inequality into an equation, on the other hand, the procedure is the same, just use 2 instead of -2 as the exponent. That is, this inequality:

f(x_1,...,x_n) ≥ 0

... is equivalent to this equation:

f(x_1,...,x_n) = y^2
