I haven't seen a separate keypad immobilizer (the kind where you put key in ignition and turn, but engine wont start until a pin is entered into a separate keypad in the cabin) since I last sat in a Peugeot 205 in the early 90s - I'd be shocked to see one on anything made in the last decade that isn't a weird aftermarket accessory. I've never seen this on a rental car in Europe/US in recent memory.

The pin pads Ford often fit to doors are not the same thing - those are to provide cabin access without a key at places such as worksites or camping trips etc.

> Outside the USA car thefts are not as common and in Domestic Japan/India/Asia a transponder is still pretty rare.

My priors are that car theft inside the USA is fairly rare now, but exceedingly common in Europe. I'm constantly hearing about all kinds of sophisticated electronic attacks on vehicles particularly in the UK, that are simply not an issue in the US.

> Students admitted via affirmative action were 7% more likely to work as managers or directors later in their careers than if the policy were not in effect. Such students also end up with many more years of education than they would otherwise. This means that many of these students would not pursue a higher education degree at all if these places were not reserved for them.

Is the same true for income-based quotas?
Thanks for reminding me of the Miata/Civic thefts, I nearly forgot how big that was in the mid 2010s. I recall so many articles of that happening.

I was living in Miami during that time, a friend had his EK hatch stolen, beautiful example too, spent a fortune on that car and it showed. Of course the aftermath was the same ole story of it being stripped, and cut to a near nonexistent state.

Now thinking on this "solution" the amount of social engineering that happens today will defeat this pretty quickly. Most of the thefts for cars like my friends were done by people who knew the owners.
I disagree.

You could run non targeted adds by sponsoring sites that are close to your business.

You could have a mix of premium and free content.

You could figure out other ways to connect with potential customers.

Hey Andre, huge fan of qdrant, and super impressed by your active support on Discord!

I use qdrant to store all sorts of datasets (wikipedia, podcasts, etc.), but even just hackernews is millions of documents and probably would not perform well without any sort of index.
a lot of cars have cutoffs switches for all sorts of stuff, like rollover switches, overboost limiters etc... you could tap into any of those to immobilize a car.

but you need to tuck that shit up under neath in the dash or wherever the ECU is, and that doesn't solve any issues because it's still just one wire to short out. You need something tucked up underneath you can use wireless transponder so theres nothing obvious preventing it from cranking.

I’m not an expert in many things, and someone else will likely give a better answer, but..

I usually start with exposure. Watch videos, listen to podcasts, watch lessons, in the area of interest. I’ll be presented with new terms and concepts without any context. Eventually as I continue to do this I build just a little bit of context, and before I know it I’m asking myself questions. “Why does x do y to z?”

At this point the search engines usually can tell that I’m a newbie to the field and will return so very low level explanations of my questions. Maybe they are right, maybe they are vague, I can’t really tell at this point.

Once I’ve found some answers that appear to make sense, I’ll have built up enough confidence in my understanding to dive in deeper.

At this point I usually seek out a lesson or course on the subject. This is when the learning curve resets. Any confidence I had is often out the window and I begin to build some actual context around the terms and concepts I exposed myself to early on.

From there on, it’s all uphill. Taking lessons from many sources until I’ve gained a beginners understanding of the area of interest. Eventually something clicks and I realize I’m ready for the next lesson.

I might not be completely ready to complete the next lesson, but I feel comfortable starting this process over again from a slightly higher level of understanding.

It certainly helps that my employer provides us with a great learning/lesson platform that I can either listen in on passively while I do other work (to begin the exposure part), and begin taking lessons and completing assignments when I’ve gained a bit of confidence.

Hope this was helpful.

Home COVID tests generally don’t show results from most asymptomatic cases even if they are actively fighting it off. It’s a question of viral loads being high enough to kick their immune system into high gear without being high enough to be easy to detect or easy to infect others.

Chances are he got COVID and fought it off without particularly noticing which isn’t in any way unusual for healthy people. 1+ million dead Americans demonstrates it’s a serious disease, but that doesn’t mean everyone was hit equally.

> It's not cherry picking, I just didn't add a whole chart.

It is cherry-picking. As I said, there are multiple, decades-long peer-reviewed studies on this topic (which is not what you linked). Raw numbers don't mean a whole lot for comparative studies, because confounding variables such as basic demographic differences will always swamp whatever effects you're trying to observe. Peer reviewed studies measure and account for these; a news site reporting raw statistics does not.

I have no idea how you're concluding that this affects survival rates for cancer.

> The uninsured don't count towards cancer rates if they don't receive a diagnosis. If you're uninsured and losing weight, anemic, night sweats, and your doctor says it could be serious so you walk away because you won't be able to afford it, you don't count as a cancer diagnosis. Assuming you went to the doctor at all. That does no count against my point.

Late diagnoses mean inferior care, and higher mortality rates. It's very rare for people to die of cancer that is neither diagnosed nor detected at any point, including upon death. This isn't speculative; it's a topic that is extensively studied in public health. Again, this is addressed in the studies conducted by professionals tasked with answering this exact question about cancer survival rates.

It can be tempting to start from a prior ("the US healthcare system is less affordable than Canada's systems") and then find explanations that fit that prior ("people don't get diagnosed with cancer because they can't afford it"), or search for data which supports that prior. Unfortunately, that's a logical fallacy, and it often leads to conclusions that are contradicted by the hard evidence at hand - which is what researchers have found.

On that note, you may be surprised to learn that healthcare in Canada is not, in fact, universal. An estimated half a million people in Canada do not have access to healthcare. That's actually slightly higher than the uninsured rate for the elderly in the US (which is the cohort for which the overwhelming majority of cancer diagnoses occur).
well, it depends on how import works. in python you can't use a module unless you import it, (though you can import it in a way that the full path to the function is still needed)

but for example in pike import is only useful as a shortcut, and not needed if you use fully qualified function calls. and like you i never saw the point of import. using the fully qualified function calls makes the code more readable because i can quickly recognize library functions from custom code.

One thing many people are missing: the simple gzip-for-text-classification hack is not the contribution of this paper. (They reference the standard intro AI textbook for that hack.) The contribution is to use the gzip numbers together with k-nearest-neighbors.

In section 6.2 they compare gzip-distance+kNN vs. gzip-distance on its own on four problems: it was better on two, and worse on two others.

Another bit of background I guess is worth saying: language models are pretrained with a compression objective. That is, the loss function in pretraining is the cross entropy of the input text, which means "minimize the compressed length of this input if you fed it to this LM driving an arithmetic coder".

A photographer "friend", pretty prominent name, asked me to create a website for him.
I showed him a demo of a masonry wall.

Absolutely terrible looking.
I guess he sells that as "new art design" or something.

Photographers can get away with anything.
And us honestl, hard working folks of the web dev "industry" get replaced by AI.

So what are we supposed to do? Just die? In the end, it won't make a difference. The public will get used to swallowing all the shit they get served. Some will even idealize it.

Good example, HBO Max vs HBO Go.
Go was superior in every way, but HBO Max is the successor and people got used to be served shit vs actual good quality.
Or take the good movies of the 80s 90s and then compare them to the shit that Superhero movies are.
Great quality, well produced, but still shit compared.
People just got used to eating shit.

AI generated will be the norm and what's left will be super expensive designers that only super rich can afford, because it's manual labor for extravagant people.

Yeah that is a big red flag - as the OP mentions, there is basically no way of making k=2 statistically different from k=1, that's why nobody uses it.

I suppose the authors just tried many different k and selected k=2 because it performed surprisingly well (likely due to the bug the OP found out). But if the results were significantly better than k=1 or k=3, it's a bit weird the authors never double checked why that was the case. I guess it can be one of those things you settle on early in the overall process with a few experiments, and just take for granted afterwards, never checking it again, but still, it sounds like something that should pop out at some point while writing the paper...?

Not sure what to think of this, as in sarcastic sense...?

It's not like we're discussing trite software, I was just discussing about the "plot device" here where the decoding of an arbitrary language with complex symbology is a central feature. Doesn't it feel "forced" to you in the same way action movies show absolutely unrealistic martial arts moves for the sake of entertainment, or watching most "hackers" in computer movies?

Wouldn't you agree that starting form the absolute basics would be a much sound/quicker way to come to a unambiguous shared vocabulary instead of just showing complex blots to another species and expecting them to decode it? It's also especially odd to me that the somehow the host civilization is doing the decoding part. Considering contact from a supposedly more advanced civilization, I would almost expect the opposite to be true, where the aliens would likely take most of the burden of establishing communication (and probably already did so by watching/listening).

But I get it.. I still enjoyed the movie (like I can still enjoy action movies or computer movies)...

IDK. With safety angle, maybe. But Slack is the opposite of "Healthy Internet". It's a corporation that wormed its way into companies and communities alike, by doing "embrace, extend, extinguish" on IRC to gain initial organic marketing from naive techies. And they've paved the way for Discord making so many good communities no longer accessible.

It's not the kind of association that makes Mozilla look good to me.

Amateur Radio. Check out Parks on the Air and Summits on the Air. Essentially you take your radio to a park or mountain summit. Setup your gear and try to make radio contacts with others. Good communities behind both and likely some people in your area doing it.

- It is relaxing and something outside to do.
- You can meet others locally who are into it as well and also meet people as you make radio contacts.
- You'll need an amateur radio licence which can be a new skill to challenge you.

Good points. I think it's been linked on HN before, but one of the most robust libraries in the world has its texts engraved on wooden blocks: https://whc.unesco.org/en/list/737/

Deciding what to conserve and making it succinct enough to be manageable but detailed enough to useful actually seems like a great use case for AI. I'm a little more optimistic than you on the timeframe, as I have electronics that are decades old and work fine. Of course, if they suddenly stop it will be a source of disappointment rather than survival anxiety.
Not sure why this has been downvoted? Bubble is an impressive piece of kit. As an engineer I’d still much prefer to write code, but I get the value - I’ve witnessed non-engineers craft legit web applications. DB, workflows, client state - it’s powerful but also accessible.
I think the "... is all you need" title here is particularly misleading as the paper does in fact use a BERT model for generating the vectors.

So if the implication was that no language model was needed at all and you can just do nearest neighbour on string similarity and patch results together, that implication was clearly wrong.

I think what the paper does show though is that there are methods that can make language models topic-specific without fine-tuning and that yield competitive results even with older models.
