Or perhaps the answer is a tax on automation and everyone can sit at home perpetually online.

Im not claiming to have answers to this rapidly approaching problem. It's definitely a problem though. Even if it doesn't impact myself whatsoever at this time.

What is your job? If it is gone tomorrow and your education is useless, what will you do?

What about your family and friends?
impressive, but still haha
RapidAPI headcount down 82% from fresh layoffs
Adding:

- they’re cheap. $5/ride.

- they’re fun. It’s a self-driving car! That’s cool! I genuinely had fun every time I was taken around in one.
The best you can get is something like DNS or email, which are "decentralized" in theory but quasi-centralized in practice.

Which is much better than other systems; "twitter but like email" is a reasonable goal.
We’ve already seen that vehicles like the Canta are abysmal failures in America. Smart Cars finally exited the US and Canada market in 2019 after years of poor sales.

Meanwhile, cargo bike sales are climbing steadily.
Yes, I think there are certain abstraction levels where the suspension of disbelief can work, if it’s kept at a very clear ”fantastical” realm.
Honest question: Why does Amazon (and others) restrict or block services in Israel? I'm genuinely curious what their reasoning might be.
> It still requires .NET to be executed

Which means it's not really standalone.
Speaking as one of those Europhiles, EU grants are on average a pretty great thing, you can see the effect first hand just walking around any random town with EU project plaques everywhere. If anything, the EU itself is doing the most to fund practical projects and the excessive bureaucracy does serve as somewhat of a safeguard against the rampant embezzling that is otherwise the norm.

The problem with innovation here is extensive, both legal and cultural. Some countries are downright hostile to startups. In the US it takes what, $200 to open an LLC? In Germany you better have 25000€ ready for an equivalent entity. The amount of regulations one has to adhere to is far more extensive, taxes are borderline absurd, there's basically no venture capital to speak of, so any actually successful company is immediately absorbed by some American megacorp with fat stacks laying around (e.g. Wolt Delivery bought by DoorDash).

Most of the people who lived under socialist systems also grew up in a culture where entrepreneurship was the pinnacle of egoistic greed which probably doesn't really help.
Is there room for a car outside the garage?
The same is true if you use a custom domain for email, for your company's servers, for any number of other critical things. It's no different (and arguably those other things are more catastrophic than losing control of a social media profile)

Also, to emphasize, regular people who don't do those other things don't have to roll a custom domain on bsky (and are unlikely to). But eg. if NPR wants to make a bsky account under @npr.org, that's really quite good verification that it's "the real NPR account", and then nobody has to deal with any of the politics around verification which have become a dumpster-fire on twitter since Musk took over
Where to begin?

You can't talk about efficiency without talking about the productive output. If I spend 200x as much to get 200x as much value, the efficiency is the same.

The productive output of the USA includes keeping about 330 million people alive with a decently high standard of living. The productive output of bitcoin is enabling speculation, money laundering, and crimes such as ransomware. There is no rational world where the two levels of output are even remotely in the same ballpark.

So let's try to compare them properly.

What is secured by US manufacturing is NOT the USD, but the US economy. Which according to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Financial_position_of_the_Unit... has a net worth of over $120 trillion.

What is secured by bitcoin mining is the existence of bitcoin. Which currently has a market cap of a bit under $600 billion.

This values the US economy at 200x bitcoin. So if the US economy takes 200x the energy, that's THE SAME level of efficiency.

But it gets worse. As others have noted, it is widely believed that bitcoin is a speculative bubble which rounds to "the largest Ponzi scheme in history". To get bitcoin mining to be equal in efficiency to US manufacturing, you have to accept an almost certainly fake valuation for bitcoin at face value. If you don't accept the paper valuation as being real, then bitcoin's efficiency drops dramatically.
SPAs work with complex, relevant, and unique URLs perfectly fine.
Meta Platforms scoops up A.I. networking chip team from Graphcore
Whenever this line of reasoning is brought up, i ask one question - what is the cost of climate change? Who will bear that cost and who will deal with the effects?

A poor country deriving energy from a nuclear power plant means that carbon isn’t being emitted for energy production over the lifetime of that nuclear plant.

Despite all the hype, no renewable technology has been able to supply a growing electrical demand anywhere in the world. Every example is small, isolated or limited in time. Renewables will eventually get there but there are countless other things we must solve before that day comes.

Meanwhile, the argument of cost is trotted out without ever considering the full impacts of climate change on the flip side.
This is just cheap flamebait:

> "The idea of Nightingale, the lady with the lamp, as the prototypical nurse—this mythic origin story—has served to further white supremacy in nursing..."

It's also bad science history. The first fundamental change in medicine that addressed infectious death rates (and that preceded vaccines and antibiotics) was the use of antiseptics ('carbolic acid' etc.) spearheaded by Joseph Lister in the 1850s and 1860s, which is the practice that Florence Nightingale is associated with (medical hygiene), mythologically or not:

Also everyone today knows that medical discoveries were not limited to European practitioners of the latter half of the 19th century, e.g. smallpox vaccination etc.

Why don't we all try harder to put historical accuracy ahead of ideological posturing? It's generally more interesting, too.
> Carmakers are ‘pushing’ SUVs because a large fraction of buyers want SUVs.

It's the other way around. Making SUVs desirable has been an absolutely massive marketing project since the '90s, to take advantage of weaker regulations on "light trucks" and bigger per-unit profit on larger vehicles.
Cannot upvote it enough. This charade had gone on for far too long. The liquidity is coming from the poor, desperate people who have been sold a dream of eternal riches by the criminal scammers. Governments and law enforcement agencies must step in and put a stop to this planet destroying fraud.
Sure, but I'd really rather use my garage since I have one, particularly for an EV which I'll want to plug in.
What if you're not at the top, but in the middle? What if this was a 5000-word or 10k-word article? Would you add random nav items here and there?
Per physical copy, indeed. That's what would allow attribution of the sale to the store.

Even a QR code that provided a link that would allow an easy purchase for the ISBN would be great for publisher and the customer. It would, however, not be appealing to bookstores, since it just means the customer comes in, browses, and purchases it online, cutting out the bookstore that was playing a critical role in the process and cannibalizing its own sales.

You could create a bookstore-and-ISBN tuple that would also allow attribution without uniquely identifying each physical book. Probably improves privacy marginally (though it would provide a permanent indicator of which bookstore it was purchased from), but with the downside that it complicates things behind the scenes; what if one bookstore acquires another bookstore's inventory? And a bookstore ordering a new book would have to have its own individual print run.
I've been looking deeply at the existing Xanadu docs so I have a pretty good sense of how it all was supposed to work. Could I get a look at the stuff you did with the LLM? I want to see what it gets wrong as there is a lot of misleading data out there on Xanadu and Enfilades. (contact info in bio)

I'm sure people that protested were taken care of.
Like the one that just got out of jail after 3 years (he reported the spread in Wuhan).

BTW. How is Wikipedia looking from China, blank spots?
Which is why Bing has the best head start. They have an MVP of combining up to date data from search and the latest in LLMs.

I used it last night on a search that was roughly:

"find the top 10 restaurants in mid-town Manhattan that would be good for brunch with friends that have kids. Include ratings from NY Times and Yelp" Then I further refined with "Revise search to include 5 example entries and a highlight any known specials. Include the estimates walking time from <my location>. Provide a link to a reservations website."

It basically auto-populated a spreadsheet, that I could easily review with my wife. I would need to visit several websites to scrape all the information together in one place.
It's understandable, but very unfortunate that people group Waymo, Cruise, and Tesla together. Waymo is at least 5-10 years more advanced.
Sounds like your backend devs are just bad at frontend.
The most practical reason for most people in the US to have some cash on hand are scenarios like:

1. A storm rolls through and a tree fell down in your driveway. The power is still out. A guy with a chainsaw shows up and offers to move it if you can pay on the spot.

2. Same situation, but a blizzard and a guy with a snowblower.

3. Small contractors often offer a significant cash discount for home improvements / repairs.
I think that it depends on what journal we are talking about. Most of them have some biases in their processes, just as HN commenters also do.
There's an argument on either side - many companies/employers offer 6 months paid parental leave after a child is born (for both parents), but I haven't seen many people maximizing that benefit by having a child every 12 months.
It also has the typical annoying dialog open 2 secs after opening the page.
What is Crypto's unique niche? It seems to be more possible privacy (assuming someone doesn't determine your wallet) at the expense of a huge amount of fossil fuels and no way to protect yourself. It also seems to be used a speculative asset by the vast majority of users, but I don't think that's its intended niche.

I think you need to back up the claim that it's growing hugely. Both Ethereum and Bitcoin are down a great deal from their recent highs, that seems contra-indicative of growth. If the argument here is that there are tons of new types of coins being constantly created then sure, I believe that, but I don't know the value of all those new coins that are at the moment used primarily for speculation and will never have the momentum required to break into any sort of mainstream adoption.
Peak HN right here. Absolute PEAK.
People get frustrated and still use completely inconsistent softwares. Windows is still the most used operating system on desktop, and is a complete mess of consistency. That never blocked people from doing what they want. Just to say, consistency is great to have, but isn’t really what drives people decision making.
> It's a self-organizing pyramid scheme

> "Market cap"s are inventions. The amount of actual liquidity in the system is tiny

Is this different than the stock market? Or the banking sector? There are penny stocks, and there are bigger players.

It seems like in finance, sentiment is everything and it's a self-fulfilling prophecy.

Oh, and regarding the vitamins:

High-dose vitamin C enhances cancer immunotherapy

It's all about the dose and delivery method, you can't just make blanket statements.

Note how the vitamins aren't sufficient, but they enhance traditional treatments. Seems relevant.
How can you spend 500m a year on a browser? 50m to the CEO and 10m to the CFO or something?

You’d think you would get a hell of a lot of dev time with 500m worth of bounties for an open source project.
How come you know the efficient-transformers family, when I ask questions about transformers in ML interviews nobody has heard of them. Can't figure out why it's not common knowledge. For years all the transformer papers were about reducing O( N^2 )
I’m an older man who doesn’t use his feet very hard, and I came here to say that I just bought another pair of Sockwell moderate compression socks.

40% merino, looks awesome, feels awesome, and not so much of the Precious Bodily Fluid pooling in lower extremities.

I will also +1 the Darn Tough socks. There is an appreciable difference between $6 and $26 for a pair in terms of moisture performance and comfort.

Washing them in a garment bag makes it easier to re-sort.
Damn it, there goes my plan of using spot GPU instances to train AI cheaply.
Data-Efficient Contrastive Learning
Self-supervised learning (SSL) learns high-quality representations from large pools of unlabeled training data. As datasets grow larger, it becomes crucial to identify the examples that contribute the most to learning such representations. This enables efficient SSL by reducing the volume of data required for learning high-quality representations. Nevertheless, quantifying the value of examples for SSL has remained an open question. In this work, we address this for the first time, by proving that examples that contribute the most to contrastive SSL are those that have the most similar augmentations to other examples, in expectation. We provide rigorous guarantees for the generalization performance of SSL on such subsets. Empirically, we discover, perhaps surprisingly, the subsets that contribute the most to SSL are those that contribute the least to supervised learning. Through extensive experiments, we show we can safely exclude 20% of examples from CIFAR100 and 40% from STL10 and TinyImageNet, without affecting downstream task performance. We also show that our subsets outperform random subsets by more than 2% on CIFAR10. We also demonstrate that these subsets are effective across contrastive SSL methods (evaluated on SimCLR, MoCo, SimSiam, BYOL).
Decide your objective:

Are you studying to advance your personal knowledge, no particular career goal just "for fun"? (It's reasonably priced and good so not a terrible option)

Are you studying to advance your present skillset for your present work?

Are you studying to prepare yourself for future work?

Are you studying to get a diploma and the courses don't matter?

The answer (and what your present or future work are for those) will determine which courses (don't worry about the specializations yet) you should be exploring. If you're studying for fun or for the diploma (which amounts to "for fun", you need to take either easy courses or ones that can hold your attention) then browse the list for courses that are interesting to you. For present/future work, look for courses based on whatever that may be.

Once you have a list of a few courses, you can decide on your specialization and start deciding on other courses to fill out the degree program with.

----------

For what to do to prep: Again, prep for the courses not the specialization. Hypothetically, you decide on the ML specialization and intend to take 7641, 7642, 7643. What do those courses require for prep from you? It's going to be different than if you took a different set of courses even in the same specialization.

Ostensibly, 7642 and 7643 have 7641 as a prereq (not a strict requirement by the school, but strongly recommended) and both make use of Python. 7641 has this as a background knowledge document: https://omscs.gatech.edu/sites/default/files/documents/cours.... Run through it and see if you're actually ready for 7641, if not then study based on it in advance of the course. 7642 and 7643 follow from it so you should be, mostly, good after prepping for and taking 7641.

Repeat this process for each course you want to take. You should only really need to focus on the prep work for the first round of courses that are intros and prerequisites for later courses. But still check them out, they may have additional recommended reading and prep work before you take them beyond just a course prerequisite.

That doesn't matter if it's fact.

The only time in my life I've witnessed the majority
of citizens feel that they were sufficiently empowered politically to truly change things for the better was in those few weeks—they did so because they could actually see the policies they'd voted for just days previously were being enacted and cemented in place within days of the election!

It was probably the most exciting and hopeful time ever in Australian politics and should never be forgotten.

I vividly recall my own experience: I'd been conscripted to go to Vietnam and was driving along on the approach to a large bridge and I nearly ran off the road with excitement when I heard on the radio that those two politicians had made an executive decision to end conscription even before the parliamentary process had gotten fully underway. It's a moment I'll never forget.
Actually good point, will talk to the respective PMs next week. Mainly been using it in CI in order to protect our own projects (thus yarn only for now)
I wish my navigation supported that feature.
> That would be Pegasus in 1990, though.

Fair point.

> There were plenty of engines developed in the US in that timeframe.

Engines that actually flew or at least fully finished development. As far as I know there are none.
Train locomotives weigh like 400,000 pounds. Loaded rail cars can also weigh hundreds of thousands of pounds.

Hummer better hope it hits the right part of the train.
The ads on this site are unbearable on mobile.
I also might have included Salesforce, LAION/Eleuther.AI, Stability and Midjourney. All of them seem to be contributing greatly to the progress that the White House is concerned about.
> There are options to solve problems that don't require a change in the outcome you desire. Mainly something along the lines of forcing the companies profiting from this to pay a person a reasonable wage to act as the social aspect that will be missing. So the job market can be unaffected.

I moved to Colombia, met a girl and found some friends through her, and through their friends I made other friends. Where I'm from, neighbors don't even say hi to each other. Now when I go out people are like "hola vecino, qué más, bien o no?".

In my home country, I could go for days without talking to anyone. One time someone started yelling at my brother for smiling. Kinda sucks to live in a place where no one talks to you and you aren't even allowed to be happy.
If I can afford something better I will buy it.

That's just how it works, sorry.

The q1 on-demand metrics are definitely very interesting!

One possible cause of this trend is actually still consistent with spot demand growth in aggregate: when customers deploy spot fleets with on-demand backup capacity and all spot prices get closer to on-demand, those fleets would become more likely to revert to on-demand, rather than a more expensive pool of spot instances.

Measuring this would be a great opportunity to leverage the vantage point that your team has!
Me too! I came looking for this sort of meta-comment. I've re-read the paper book a few times now.

What makes it my favorite is how clear Norvig's writing is. It's easy to follow (both when reading it in English, and when following its execution if you're a programmer), and it introduces important ideas so effortlessly that, years later, it will give you a chuckle.

Anyone interested in clearly communicating about technical topics, and with a knowledge of Lisp's nature and some idea of what programming in 1991 looked like, might be tickled to read Chapter 1; even its first few paragraphs are refreshing.

An electric SUV is like a gasoline SUV carrying 5,000 lbs of rocks. It won't be able to cross some bridges and won't be allowed on many residential roads. It will also need to be taxed like a proper truck, because its road destruction capabilities will be the same.
I saw some references to post-quantum security, but I also saw references to something called "Post-Quantum Wireguard" so it seemed like that was handled by some other project, or at best some sub-component of Rosenpass.
My experience is that intimate partners are easier than friends, because whatever awkwardness or other social issues you have, the other person is going to spot it and not go on a second or third date with you unless they can tolerate it. So if you're on a third date, they've already decided that it's provisionally okay with them. Also, I feel like people are way more tolerant of weirdness one-on-one than in groups, because in groups they have to worry about what other people in the group think.

Once you have a partner, or just someone you're dating, they will expose you to other people in social settings, which will give you more practice under a critical and supportive eye.

But that might just be my experience.
It varies by locality. A large majority of tax codes have a revenue threshold you have to reach before they you're required to collect and remit sales tax. For example, a few dozen customers with a $20 monthly subscription wouldn't trigger sales tax but hundreds of customers would.

Some (most?) localities expect tax filings that show you collected revenue but we're below the threshold. In practice this is rarely done from what I've seen and I've never heard of a government cracking down on this.

Where it gets annoying is the handful of localities that have no threshold and require tax remittance for any customer in their region.

Agent of record services are Ina bit of a gray area too. Say I use a SaaS service to act as the official entity selling totthose customers. This a lot easier on me as I offloaded all the tax law concerns, but I don't know if it's clear yet whether the threshold for paying taxes is collective of every business using the same agent of record.

This is just my understanding of the current state of things. I work pretty regularly with e-commerce businesses but am not directly involved in sales tax collection and compliance.

The only thing I pointed out was that the two 'Great Powers' have a curiously similar obsession with spying on domestic civilian populations. You added the other issues for some reason.

It is true that authoritarian control freaks are my least favorite people, regardless of what government they're affiliated with - but I don't doubt that the American version, given free rein, would rush to introduce the methods used in China to control the population.
