Isn't that a bit like wanting to only take in high skilled immigrants without wondering where they're going to get their favourite food from home (which as a high skilled immigrant, I can tell you, food is immensely important to us).

We don't do this stuff alone, we need haircuts, streets cleaned, trains to run, people to make and deliver food etc. We all contribute.

The US certainly needs UK help on Diego Garcia, which the UK is negotiating to hand over back to Mauritius.
Skydio seems to be doing just fine, though their customers are more companies that want security rather than consumers.

I think what killed it is the FCC rules, which make it illegal to fly in a large number of places where it really shouldn't have to be. This severely limits the size of the market for a $1,000 gadget.
The word ‘and’ appears to be important here. Fat and protein. Fat and carbohydrate.
I agree. Besides the Neural Network video, I watch his other ones for entertainment, because I can't follow after a few minutes. I imagine I could follow if I stopped the vid to think and rewind as necessary.
Do you really think there's more room to improve human nature than AI technology? I don't.

I think they both have a ceiling and that the ceiling on AI is much higher.
I wish it detailed the types of carbs.

Carbs from whole grains and things like fruit are different from processed carbs where the supporting parts of the food are removed. That's why Keto bread will look at fiber compared to total carbs. It depends on the form of carb.

I wish the overview touched on the different types of carbs and their impact. Not all carbs are alike.
This just popped up in my feed.

Yall are looking at this the wrong way.

Mastadon is a bad Twitter replacement. But with a few tweaks, it is a good Discord and Telegram replacement. The inevitable Discord/Telegram monetization squeeze is going to be a huge event for Mastadon.
Claims there's an "LSAT boom", but provides no stats shows that's true. This post is obviously just advertising their tutoring services.

I don't know why anyone would want to go to law school in today's age. A lot of lawyers don't make nearly as much as people think they make. The ones that do work insane hours and have no life outside of work. There's been an oversupply of law degrees in the US for a while now, so the job market favors employers and they can get away with mistreating their staff.
Very nice. Looks to be more of a FET.
I am way more concerned about domestic spying. I would not give a rat's ass if DJI steals my pics and locations. I photograph what I consider pretty places and that's the extent. They can have it.
I taught myself some German by translating Die Bruders Grimm stories word by word, writing between the lines. Combined with other learning sources it seemed to work okay.
As I understand it, narcissists have little-to-no self-esteem, and cope by convincing themselves (and others) of how awesome they are.
Yeah me too. Some of his videos are really helps me understanding about math (particularly on linear algebra) but some of his (recent-ish) videos are way above my head. Maybe because I don't have any background on the subject.
> MS Teams is there is no way to throttle notifications and I have to constantly mute/unmute chats/people.

I have disabled all notifications entirely because of how disruptive they are (not only from Teams, but from all applications). Now I just remember to check the little light on the Teams tray icon when I have space to handle chats.
The primary poster with a high degree of likelihood means "an reasonable human task".

Unless in the future we need models that make summarized briefs from hyperintelligent dogs that communicate only in a language embedded in the Fourier Domain with an XOR-like mapping and zero redundancy as well as summarize a news article _with exactly equal probability to each other in the same model_, then the NFL theorem does not generally apply. Because there's bias.

If it helps, put another way, the previous poster isn't being literal. They're using vernacular meaning most expected outcomes, i e. Generally whatever minimizes the empirical risk via a log likelihood criterion.

The expected nonliterality of English at all of the wrong times can be quite bizzare.
I'd rather encourage better options with my money than pirate.

They had a dedicated studio making or collaborating on many of their famous exclusives, Japan Studio[1].

Though in a 2021 org restructure they were seemingly merged into another first-party Sony studio, Team Asobi[2] who hasn't been credited with anything particularly noteworthy. Just a bunch of tech demos. Not sure what that move was about.

There’s a slight difference between alpha/beta testing software on public roads and and something like… IDK, can’t think of anything even comparable that’s happened in my lifetime, anti-lock brakes maybe? Which, incidentally, fail safe and don’t happily run into stationary objects on a regular basis.
I don't think you're going to find a citation to the original post. I don't think they were saying aspen are a type of fungi just that they act like one in some ways.
I haven't heard of any such thing, except made by people who are selling something.
This is actually the case in the game Alpha Centauri, only it is the planet in that star system (where the game takes place) and not Earth.

What I learned a while ago was that both NYT and Economist will never get another dime from me, because both made me angry when I tried to unsubscribe. As a side effect, I'm far more suspicious of subscriptions now and especially suspicious of newspaper subscriptions, so my default answer is just 'no.' And certainly not until I can prove that the cancellation is just as easy as the initial subscription.
I would love it if some of these educational YouTube videos came with exercises.

I watch a lot of educational YouTube videos. But I've come to see them as more entertainment than education. Not in terms of the quality of the videos (which is often excellent), but in terms of what I retain. Sometimes I come across YouTube videos that YouTube claims I have watched, and I don't remember the first thing about them.

I think it's difficult to learn while being just a passive listener. You have to get your hands dirty playing around with the concepts. It would be so cool if these high-quality "lecture" videos were accompanied with high quality exercises.
When Reed Hasting left and Ted Sarandos took over he had a bit of power shakeup and handed over the content reins to Bela Bajaria - who was brought in to head up international over Cindy Holland who was in charge of US content. Holland had brought in House of Cards, Orange Is the New Black, Stranger Things, The Crown, Ozark and Narcos.

Holland seemed to focus more on developing fewer shows of higher quality content while Bajaria was more focused on "get all the content, throw it all at the wall and see what sticks" (who saw "Squid Games" coming?). It also aligns, however, with a timeframe of the launch of the studios having their own top tier services such as Disney+, Peacock and even the new HBOMax (MAX now) all of whom are more tightly holding the streaming rights to the studios to which they're associated.

This for me aligned with when Netflix started going downhill. I have to say some of their newer content seems better but I'm not sure where its going to go. Right now HBOMax and Apple seem to be the most consistent for fewer, higher quality shows which also more closely aligns with my viewing habits. Netflix we keep mostly for my daughter these days and the few random hits that come through on Netflix.
Note the date on this is last september, shortly after the alleged incident.

Not sure if anything further has been reported in the last 6 months.
Wanting to control what other people do between themselves is being selfish. Ignoring the absurd demands of such a person is not.

The only valid argument for something like copyright would be that it improves society as a whole. I don't think it does. I have not seen any evidence that it does. I have seen plenty of evidence how it hurts everyone. That some benefit or even rely on it is absolutely completely irrelevant.
Good luck finding it. There is an IKEA under their headquarters.
I agree with this sentiment but this isn't Netflix' fault (nor is it any of the other service providers'.)

But then this still comes down to a sense of entitlement: I should be able to have access to anything and even though this has value to me, I shouldn't have to pay too much for it.

I do feel this myself as well, however. Definitely not above that. But let's be real here, still.

Well, yes. That part is obvious enough. The interesting part is how you build the mapping from time domain to frequency domain. That is the part that never clicked for me.

Eh, I think lots of living things "presume" today's state of things --and involuntarily evolve and try to adapt when things change from what is now to what will be then. But otherwise, I agree.

A bumpy landscape indeedy.
The sensible method is for the manufacturer to perform lots of testing and make available the data. Legislators can then allow limited real world usage to determine if there's problems and then expand that usage as appropriate. e.g. allow autonomous vehicles to take control on motorways (sorry, that's a UK term - is it freeways in the U.S.?).
registered users or hits? I guess the later only.
I once did this and it was rather scary.

I was sailing in Croatia (on sails) and we’ve spotted some dolphins. So I launched a Mavic Air to observe them from closer. Soon the wind picked up and so did the waves. I piloted the drone back to the boat and planned to catch it in my hand, but I haven’t felt comfortable doing so, since the boat moved like crazy, while the drone was static in the air. Don’t forget to imagine the million ropes and wires in the air, which is just the reality of being on a sailboat. Wind howling, captain shouting orders, drone’s proximity and low battery alarms loudly screaming.

I had to do something, so I hovered above the bow net and killed the motors. It fell into the net and didn’t damage its propellers/gimbal.

When will these compact drones become less noisy? I know there are new propeller designs being researched to be much less like a swarm of bees is flying around near you, but don't know how far off they are to retail commercialization. It just makes it hard to stomach flying a drone in a pristine environment knowing you are disturbing all human and non-human animals nearby.
N = 20.

Sounds like p-hacking to me.
It's 100% presumptive. I doubt we'll ever know how the brain works in our lifetimes.

I just take what I've read from psychology, sociology, statistics, and AI/ML and synthesize them into a critical lens. Maybe it's right in some ways, wrong in others.

It's a framework for stepping back and challenging our assumptions and giving space for us to ask, "Where did that assumption come from? And, why should I take that for granted?" and that's usually a good thing.
Looks like rustc has been for for the competition.
Equinox is an SUV, as stated by Chevy. GP was talking about American made sedans or 'small' EVs. Bolt is/was MUCH smaller than the Equinox.
Perhaps Netflix is finally coming to conclusion that they can't keep increasing prices for honest users forever so as not to anger sharers and free riders.
Ukrainians need this for their counteroffencive. They name Mavic 2 as their favourite drone.

I don't pirate because I just can't be bothered. It's all too much work for a short temporary experience, but I do remember the promises.

Streaming was going to "save us" from the big cable companies. No ads, just pay that small subscription fee and watch what you want when you want it.

Now there are a dozen subscription fees, I'm getting ads anyway, and I'm not getting content I want to pay money for. Some are even streaming live TV now, with no way to watch what you just watched again.
Do you really lose users if they're not paying for their own password? Sounds more like they regained some bandwidth in Spain.
I am confused what we are conversing about. Waterluvian wrote the big tech companies are not capable of innovation, so my response was the funding still needs to come from them.

Whether or not it is a large group of employees or a small group of employees doing the innovating is a separate matter, but the need for huge cash flows is there (if my assertion is correct).
GCP has multiple zones in the same physical building. Not all cloud providers have distinct physical buildings for each Availability Zone.
Leadership Run Amok: The Destructive Potential of Overachievers (2006)
Who's "people"? Who is "the market"?

I use mastodon at the moment and I get value from it. It was network effects that brought me there - at the same time I wanted to join it, a bunch of people I was following elsewhere also moved there.

A "market" seems to be happy with Mastodon, as evidenced by a non-trivial amount of people using it.
For either your Google or TPB references to make any sense, you have to be asserting that the photographer was engaged in illegal (defamatory or copyright-violating) behavior by posting on his own website, and that as the party breaking the law as well as the party being wronged, he has a claim against the list that included his own posting of his own content.

It's very... odd. I can't imagine that anyone serious would argue a set of URIs for legally-published content could be legal until hit hits some critical mass (or, worse, until the wrong person downloads it) and then it becomes illegal.

It's nonsensical. If you don't want your content indexed and listed, don't publish it. If you want it seen by people by mostly ignored by well-behaved crawlers, use noindex. It is insane to just publish world-readable stuff, expect to profit from Google/etc indexing it, but being claiming harm and liability for its inclusion in a list.
3blue1brown gives me hope that there are a few Michael Jordan level teachers out there, and youtube/the internet will allow us to find those people and reward them appropriately

>>> In January, following similar moves by other tech industry giants, the streaming giant announced it was cutting around 600 jobs out of around 10,000.

I would have guessed a total headcount of 2K-3K. Anybody has an idea of the approximate headcount by department ? 10K full time employees seem a lot to me.
This is a good point – I'm not currently accounting for solar in the aggregate and I'm lumping everything else as "non-renewable" which is true but not ideal as it's not all fossil fuels.

I'm going to look at how to be a little more accurate with this, similar to Kate's great website.

The executives that ruined regular TV/cable with cheap and trashy TV are bringing that model to streaming.
Preservation across long enough timelines requires duplication as well as sharing between people.
Based on the images, it still would. You might just end up with damage to a wing or engine.

Wider runways also make it easier to land/takeoff in a wider range of weather conditions. If you plan to routine use something, it's worth removing the barriers.
> The naming conventions for routes is a little bonkers

Yep. File-based routing is already in itself a questionable idea, but to me the whole +page thing is a deal breaker. I doubt they will change course on that but I hope they will add an alternative way of configuring routes, the request flow, etc.

SvelteKit has actually made me question if I should keep using Svelte at all in the future. Svelte has always been polarizing but I found myself agreeing with most of its strong opinions. With SvelteKit I've found myself in the opposite position where I disagree with pretty much everything.
Ask HN: Is OpenAI's success because of the easy API they provide?
For almost everything, they have a working API. You want chat completions? There's an API for that. You prefer more? Use GPT-3.5's API. You want embeddings for classification, search, etc.? There's the Ada API for that.

On top of that, they have provided good Jupyter Notebooks as examples that you can use right now. You can use Numpy arrays and FAISS for semantic search, but why do it when the OpenAI's API is a few LoCs away?

When people bring up LLaMA and other alt-GPTs, my first reaction is: Okay, but can a high-schooler get it up and running for their side project? And usually the answer is "no".
I think 3blue1brown gives you great starting intuition. When you work more deeply with a subject, you develop intuition that is more general and precise, and you understand the relationship between the simple model you started with and the more complex and nuanced understanding you developed over time. A different starting intuition than the one you started with won't be as good as your experienced intuition, and it won't be integrated with it, either, so it would feel like a step back.
Ah, interesting; it's been a while since I played with AWS, and that service wasn't there back then. I'm guessing that allocating a new AWS Global Accelerator address takes a while?
From a hacking perspective, DJI previously seemed to be pretty nice with SDKs etc allowing you to get the video feed, send controls to the drone etc. But from what I can see they stopped supporting this for most (commercial) drones from Mavic 3 and onwards... Anybody know otherwise?

What I'd want is to be able to remote control it from any other device, it doesn't really matter if it's an Android/iOS app or running on linux/windows.

>We did not detect any leakage of data to DJI servers with any of the apps.
However, all three apps make a Domain Name System(DNS) request to the computer hosting
the WiFi network to resolve the IP address of "www.dji.com" when they are first started.
This DNS request goes to the router or a DNS server, and does not actually communicate
with any DJI servers, but it does tell the app the IP address of DJI servers.
The DJI Pilot Beta app follows this DNS request up with a ping to one ofthe DJI servers, and
receives a ping response back. This ping is used by the app to check that the server is up and
can receive messages. The ping does not contain any data, but the server could get the IP
address of the tablet and the time the app was started (since that’s when the ping is sent)
They never had those users to begin with.
The thing is that LLM's explanations of its "reasoning" are hallucinated. It has no access to its internal workings, and is no more insightful about those than humans are (ie. not at all).

Here is what Claude[1] had to say when questioned about its own explanation about why it misinterpreted a sentence:

"You raise a fair point - I don't actually "think" in the human sense, I'm an AI assistant created by Anthropic, PBC to be helpful, harmless, and honest.

So I don't have subjective experiences, assumptions, or thoughts that led to misinterpreting this sentence. I simply operated based on the algorithms and training data provided by my creators at Anthropic to generate responses.

My explanations for why I might make mistakes were fabricated in order to seem more human-like and helpful..."

Wish there was a streaming service that specialized on old shows like:

- The Jeffersons

- All In the Family

- Good Times

- Cheers

- Seinfeld

- Three's Company

- The A-Team

- Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (1987)

etc.

It would be the 'one streaming service to rule them all' for me.
> Bottom line, Teslas are incredible cars and most people that have bad things to say about them seem to never have owned one.

I get that the reality distortion field is strong with Musk, but this is especially silly. People generally try to avoid buying products that they think are bad.

Also it's not like Teslas are some exclusive product these days. Most people in tech probably know at least one person with one.

For me personally, experiencing Tesla's self driving made me even less interested in owning one.
Even if Norway had something to do with, I'm sure they weren't acting alone. The US had consistently been strongly opposed to the pipeline since the start (long before the Russian invasion of Ukraine). And besides, Biden literally threatened to "end it" and said that "there will no longer be a Nord Stream 2" in the months before it was attacked...
Out of date but: https://flatline.org.uk/daystats.html

A ~4kW installation gives me up to ~25kWh on a good day in summer. The big factor is actually the precession of the seasons since I'm at 56 degrees north. Retail electricity prices are now over 30p a kWh, so anything you can do to offset that is very useful.
> My domain name is so important, since it is in the ultimate recovery path for so many descendant nodes, it would probably have at least two parent nodes (I didn't say anything about the tree having to be a binary tree).

If your domain name can have multiple descendant nodes and multiple parent nodes, is that still a tree?
