> The release forms were pretty clear.

They are the same release forms that you'll see when you pay some college kid $90 to take you down some cat 3 rapids.

The difference in risk involved in those two activities is many orders of magnitude. As is the difference in recklessness and 'yolo' mindset of the vendor.

A release form isn't an excuse to operate your firm in an unsafe[1] manner.

[1] 'Safe' is defined 'as safe as can be reasonably made, given what we know'. The Titan did not meet this criteria.

Until terminal velocity is reached of course, although wind speeds in the impact zone could also add to that.

If I'm living at home with mom and dad, and they own their home, I'm technically living in an owner-occupied home, aren't I?
what about admittance to a restaurant?
I actually kinda find them useful. The overall "B Corp certification" is just too easy to get imo, but they do have detailed breakdowns of scores in each of their 5 categories (Governance, Workers, Community, Environment, Customers). For example, you can look at this company page[0] and see that they don't have worker ownership or bonus points for certain environmental initiatives they take

In short, while the certification might not be the most useful, I think the comparative scores can be. I wonder if anyone's scraped the data already for projects

Not really. There were titanium rings at each end of the cylinder, fixed with glue, and then the caps were bolted onto said rings.
They do, look up the “Backend for Frontend” pattern.
It's incorrect to say that Valve can't verify any content they are hosting is copyrighted.

They are obviously able to identify some copyright material.
It probably has to do with the fact that a lot of people are patient enough to wait 10 seconds for something to finish if a) they understand it and b) it does the job.

The average person will put up with a lot of friction to use something they're familiar with and needs a lot of incentive to change. If your thumbnails fail to load every 10000 times or every 100000th profile picture upload fails most people will just retry and hope it works the second time, not find a different service or app to use.
Yes, its fairly normal for distribution platforms to require you to declare that you have the rights for everything in your game (which is in no way provable), extending it to everything in the training set(s) for the model(s) used for generative AI used is ludicrous, but just amounts to the same thing plus the (almost certainly false) assumption that every work produced by AI generation is legally a derivative work of every work in the training set(s) of the AI model(s) used.
I live in Montreal and prices for new condos are nearly 1M, rent has been steadily increasing and wages are pretty low.

To make matters worse, enjoy not having any road infrastructure, dealing with construction and traffic, paying the highest tax in country and dealing with an incompetent government who is more concerned about replacing stop signs that say "STOP" with "ARRÊT" instead of focusing on healthcare, education and employment.

I'm not sure why everyone thinks we live in a paradise. Montreal is only "hip" if you are 18 and want to go clubbing at night. The allure of "Jazz Fest" drops off quickly.
Even on macOS I believe McCLIM will use X11, for which CLX is the Common Lisp implementation of. CLX works by sending X11 packets over a socket. Unless you have Quartz or similar installed, you probably got that error.
I'm not sure how you'd get them from the car park to moving down the road without switching the ignition on. Is there some trick to going from a switched-off stationary vehicle to 30mph without some ramping up in between?
Equality of outcome can only be enforced currently by a tyrannical government. It’s wholly doomed unless we can identify and correct for every hidden variable affecting outcomes.

LBJ gave the commencement speech at Howard more than 50 years ago and said:

That beginning is freedom; and the barriers to that freedom are tumbling down. Freedom is the right to share, share fully and equally, in American society—to vote, to hold a job, to enter a public place, to go to school. It is the right to be treated in every part of our national life as a person equal in dignity and promise to all others.

But freedom is not enough. You do not wipe away the scars of centuries by saying: Now you are free to go where you want, and do as you desire, and choose the leaders you please.

You do not take a person who, for years, has been hobbled by chains and liberate him, bring him up to the starting line of a race and then say, "you are free to compete with all the others," and still justly believe that you have been completely fair.

Thus it is not enough just to open the gates of opportunity. All our citizens must have the ability to walk through those gates.

It's gonna take a very long time. Reparations are valued in the trillions. Truly insane violence has been perpetuated on racial minorities in America. It's gonna take more than ~60 years of Jim Crow-free America to make things right.

One thing I miss from my previous password manager was the ability to restrict the special character set in the password generator on a per-entry basis, exactly for this sort of situation. It's not that big a deal to remove "invalid" characters manually but not having to worry about it at all was nice.
Legacy admissionss are part of the problem with Harvard's affirmative action scheme that made it really blatantly discriminatory - basically, they kept those legacy admissions and balanced them out by putting a thumb on the scale against other groups that didn't benefit from legacy admissions either, primarily Asian candidates.
I fell deep into this trap just yesterday, solving a Project Euler problem in Python. It involved a 2-million+ digit number. I'm just starting with Python, and while I know it transparently handles large integers, out of an abundance of caution I spent an hour optimizing to avoid dealing with greater-than-64-bit values, since the result needed is modulo a <64 bit value.

My code ran in about 4 seconds.

Then I thought I'd try a slightly larger optimization that involved ~128 bit values. That ran in a second, so obviously the switch to large integers either doesn't happen at 64 bits, or Python just handles it really well.

Then I thought to just do the math and let Python sort the results. One line of Python. Took ~20 seconds to write. Calculated the 2-million digit number and then did the modulo. Ran in a small fraction of a second. <sigh>
While all those incidents you described weren't your fault, surely you have to agree that there's a correlation between driving in situations like that and being more likely to get in an accident? It isn't just about your driving performance, if you're driving in places or intersections where people tend to cut you off or run red lights - or hell, just places with lots of traffic and intersections in general - that's hugely predictive of the chance you'll get in an accident relative to someone that drives a less travelled route.

It's a failure of the industry that they tend to market this monitoring as all about the driver. It's really not, it's just conditional probability.

That's OpenAI.
It made sense originally to break the cultural pattern of discrimination. It's done that, while there are still racists out there they don't have the power to keep people down that they used to.

Yet we continue to use it to solve a problem that isn't caused by discrimination and thus can't be cured by efforts against discrimination.
I really didn't intend to be hostile in any way, and I apologize if that's how my comment looked.

We as humans tend to trick our own minds into worrying about insignificant things and sometimes need somebody to help us snap out of it. I was trying to help you with that, but instead you think I came across as a jerk. It's not worth your time to worry about a couple of cents for a search. I know many people have the same concern and worry as you, it is still not rational.

> I used the trial and I wasn't sold on it

Then there is no reason for you to use it - even if it was free. The only reason to use paid search is to get better quality results. There is no special maneuver to use with Kagi, it's just typing the query into the box like on Google.
That would run the risk of helping the poor. We don't like doing that here in the USA.
I love Racket, re-wrote my website in it and a few other projects. I'd call myself an advanced beginner, I guess.

> Racket excels as a programming language for young learners and beginners.

I honestly think Racket could do more to be beginner-friendly. The documentation is excellent, but difficult to understand as a newcomer. There are some great little tutorials that are easy to work through, but the ramp from there to writing your own Racket programs is steep imo.

I don't know of any other language with so many batteries included. Racket deserves to see community growth, and hopefully with that will come more resources for folks to get started
No one is being protected from consequences of risky behavior. Moral hazard doesn't apply.
You're probably not. Programming in lisp,back in my college days, felt enlightening. I remember flying through quiet complex projects with a clarity that I've rarely experienced in my professional career. I do yearn for those days when I'm deep within a nonsensical "enterprise" Java codebase or a messy frontend codebase but I don't think Lisp made me an objectively "better" programmer. There is enough imposter syndrome in this industry as it is. If you ever want to, pick up SICP or "How to design programs", you'll probably find them interesting but don't expect to find programming nirvana.
> There's plenty of women with the physique and skills to fill roles in the NFL, for example. Not every player needs to be able to be a linebacker, after all.

Doubt it, outside of possibly kicker. Otherwise, you wouldn't see the biological differences in track and field performances between males and females, given how much football relies on physical attributes like size, strength and explosiveness.

There could be a professional female league of course, like the WNBA for basketball. But if even tennis has to keep men and women separate to be fair, then there's little chance a physical sport like the NFL would be competitive for women alongside men.
yeah thats how I remember it
Most commercial planes have APUs (That's the loud sound you hear/exhaust you smell from the jet bridge) but a tail strike would hit closer to underneath the back seats of the plane than the middle of the tail like that. The only concern in emergency situations like this is getting every passenger safely on land. Not their bags, not every component of the airplane. Both of those are more easily resolvable via insurance than lost passenger lives.
Here is a video of Suleman, the young man who perished in the sub: https://www.bbc.com/news/av/world-66015863

At least in part, it’s the 20th century political alliance between black politicians and white social liberals. These are not problems that existed in the first half of the 20th century. Ironically, you’re now seeing the same social breakdown in working class white communities, who historically were aligned with white social liberals. Fatherless “barstool conservatives” are the product of that alliance.

Almost all the disparity in income mobility between black and white people is caused by disparities between black and white men. (Black women have similar mobility to similarly situated white women in terms of individual income.) And Harvard’s Raj Chetty has shown that the two things that eliminate racial disparities in income mobility for black boys is growing up in a neighborhood with (1) low levels of racism among whites; and (2) high levels of fathers living at home with their biological children: https://academic.oup.com/qje/article/135/2/711/5687353. There’s only a handful of places in America, unfortunately, that meet both criteria.

Because people want it is the short answer.

The way these companies see it, if theres a demand and an opportunity to make money, they go for it. Paired with knowing the GOV will always bail them out, it's a no lose situation.

> It is the very fundamental structure of Europe that will never let it be a sovereign force ala US.

I don't know if it's that simple. I think that European thinking has in the last 6 years or so realised much more that 1) a serious war can happen again in in their neighbourhood and 2) the USA's leadership cannot be relied on to be on their side, as much as was assumed before then.

The article talks about "a distracted and politically unreliable America ... a growing awareness that continuing to rely on the United States entails long-term risks"

More EU military spending - rearmament - is the obvious conclusion.

The article claims that this hasn't been achieved. Ok it wasn't expected to be quick or easy. I don't really know what the evidence is that it can't or won't happen.
To be fair there are still examples of quality journalism, it's just that the internet doesn't care as much for that content, as it doesn't generate the outrage present in this thread. Unfortunately the incentives are aligned with ad revenue instead of accuracy.
I don't think any government stockpiles enough food to keep a significant fraction of its population alive for nearly a decade.

But in the US, on the Great Plains, there are all these towns with grain elevators. I'd guess that what's in that grain elevator could feed the population of the town (plus surrounding farms) for several years. (Yeah, I know, wheat or corn, by itself, doesn't have all the nutrients people need...)
Those amendments were made by the legislature.
Another vLLM post... Its cool, but I still can't tell if its SOTA? Vanilla transformers LLaMA is not optimal at all, especially in the presence of quantized backends like exLlama, GPTQ, Llama.cpp, TVM Llama, and (I think) JAX Llama and Torch-MLIR Llama.
Look at the developers around you, how and how often are they using AI?

I highly recommend building a small project where you don't understand the technology completely using chatgpt to write the majority of the code and start filling in your knowledge gaps, expand the project alongside Gpt and your own knowledge so it goes from heavy lifter to support.

(In my case success with python and pyqt, with only a passing knowledge of python and none of pyqt or gui apps)

One issue I have is when I build a system I know the system, but AI built systems is like understanding a different programmer's work, and the effort that goes along with it.

It's a mighty useful tool for being a bridge of knowledge, can give amazingly detailed information, but overusing it will lead you into a dark corner, underusing it might leave you behind.

Amazon can have pro consumer policies (free shipping & returns. Easy return process) without predatory practices though. It would be silly for the FTC to argue that good consumer experience is anti-trust behavior.

What they could argue is about the myriad of ways that Amazon uses its market power to put others out of business or force them to sell (diapers.com comes to mind on this[0]).

What will Bio's OpenAI look like?

It's just a random reddit post. The OP on reddit didn't even post his game.

Three possiblilities:

1. It's just fictional. Probably written by a troll or generated by ChatGPT.

2. Steam refused to publish the game due to some obvious copyright issues (like they told Midjourney to generate superman or one-piece characters)

3. Steam is banning any AI generated assets.

My bet is 1 > 2 > 3.
Delta and Hawaiian are the two US operators. Hawaiian loves it, and is struggling to replace it. They use them for island-hopping. Modern airliners don't do well in this use case — modern engines have been engineered to tight tolerances to extract fuel economy, and their thermal designs rely on the cold air at cruise altitude to keep them healthy. Island hops are too short and too low for that to hold. The engines on the 717 handle it just fine, but anything else on the market will require the planes to sit on the tarmac for a significant length of time between landing and takeoff for them to cool enough, and would destroy Hawaiian's current network design, which has lots of quick flights and tight turns.

Delta announced retirement a long time ago, but has been not-so-secretly buying up as many as they can get, mostly as spares for parts to keep the fleet going because it's so useful for them. Also, the A220, its replacement, has a single engine, the Pratt & Whitney Geared Turbofan, which has had an incredibly rough entry into service — everyone was concerned that the gearbox would be an issue, but it has been mostly rock-solid, and it's the engine core that's had dozens of issues. An airline in India has over half of its fleet grounded and filed for bankruptcy last month because P&W can't repair their engines.
What metrics do you use to tell the difference in performance? Just being curious.
Sounds interesting, where can I read it?
Death penalty happens to be the one thing that usually figures in extradition treaties with the USA: the USA must guarantee that the death penalty will not be applied. Of course there are some other countries which still use the death penalty, but they are usually not the sort of placed which have extradition treaties.

Beware of Unreliable Data in Model Evaluation: A LLM Prompt Selection Case Study
Sotomayor as well. What fascinates me about Thomas’s dissent is towards the end he talks about HBCUs and how effective they are. You’ll find language of his in a lot of places suggesting black separatist—type sympathies. He was a genuine radical in his college years in that respect, and he’s still clearly sympathetic to sone extent.

Cards on the table: I think Justice Thomas has a genuinely nutty jurisprudence. Like way out there nutty. And I disagree with him about virtually everything. But he’s much more complex than the standard caricatures allow for (even when they come from fellow-travelers, like the people who thought Thomas was just Scalia’s lapdog; wrong; Scalia was nakedly unprincipled when compared to Thomas).
Not saying this should be an alternative, but having read a lot of transcripts and video of things like this, I wonder why there aren't outside cameras that would potentially give pilots a visual indication of plane conditions outside? Is it just the cost of supporting resilient cameras?

A lot of incident reports have flight attendants or copilots leaving to try to make visual confirmation of things that it seems would be better suited if there were some actual visual feedback.
I know this is a joke, but if anyone’s curious:
Prop65 says you have to tell people if your product contains chemicals from a list of carcinogenic substances. The list is kept up-to-date by California. Prop65 has no punishment for over-reporting though - you can slap on a warning “just for fun” if you want.

Unless California has aspartame on its list, prop65 says nothing about this.
If you’ve ever seen a car that was in a storm like this it isn’t all that surprising that some glass was broken too. Big hail destroys everything.

73 calories actually sounds misleadingly low? How is that calculated?

I think this is what you are correcting in the rest of the post? In that a single soda is typically double that. And many folks drink more than a single soda. Considerably more.
In part because when labor is free you have less incentive to innovate;

American slavery in the U.S. South was threatened more by the invention of the cotton gin and the global floor for cotton prices dropping. This was diversified away somewhat with Tobacco, but still a major factor in the economics of slavery.

The sad part is that the US South was fearful of this economic reality - up to runaway slaves and illegal slave trade decimating the profit margins - which meant the powder keg for revolt was ready. But as we can see from the Southern "Tax" men stealing from the citizenry, the French less incentivised because of global cotton prices; the future in American slavery was futile.
It's pretty common now for data scientists and ML engineers to validate the quality of their training data being fed into these LLMs, but what about their test data used to evaluate them?

I spent some time playing around with the FLAN-T5 open-source LLM from Google Research and I discovered that noisy test/evaluation data can actually cause you to choose sub-optimal prompts.

Given two prompts A and B, I found multiple cases where prompt A performed better on the observed (noisy) test data, yet worse on the high-quality test data. In reality, this means that you would choose A as the "best prompt" when prompt B is actually the better one. I also proved the accuracy difference to be significant via McNemar’s Test.

This article explains my methodology and how I used data-centric AI to automatically clean the noisy test data in order to ensure optimal prompt selection.
