Definitely Japanese writing system. Thanks.

Amazing tool.

Fwiw, if you’re looking to monetize, you may want to try to get a contract with the DoD. I would start with special operations (lots of money and urgent mission/training needs), and then move on to the Defense Language Institute.

Oral proficiency interviews (OPIs) are part of the qualifying standard, and everyone wants more practice.
Profiling is the only true answer.

If the inputs of a shader change, or the outputs: permutation is needed. And this is often: think a variant with vertex colors for wind impact on vertices. Or a variant with normal map vs without. Your uniform and vertex attributes should also be as small as possible (when aligned) for the use.

You never want to be sampling a zero-texture in order to have generic shader code as sampling is very expensive.

I hope this helps a bit, I am no expert in this field.

Your solution, in the case of trusted sources altering content to fit a particular worldview, is to look at other "trusted" sources. I think that therein lies the problem. I believe the real danger isn't people being convinced of something untrue. I think the real danger is the apathy that builds up as people can no longer reliably distinguish the truth, and they give up on sifting through it altogether, instead accepting "their truth". The vast majority of people simply don't care enough to verify sources.

This is already happening without generative AI, and this new stuff is only going to speed things up exponentially.

Isn't this just E(f(x)) != f(E(x))?

The first part shows the expected value of the return function, which is positive (from the gambler's perspective).

The second part uses f(E(x)): the gambling function applied to expected number of heads and tails (50/50), which is a loss on average. But that's disingenuous because it silently thwacks off the outliers where a gambler wins almost every time or loses almost every time, which is hugely positive on average.

Essentially any nonlinear return function would have the same inequality. It's just stated trickily here and the analysis is deliberately misleading.
I think you may be talking about "Mindless statistics" by Gigerenzer. He has some surveys about p-values and how radically wrong they are usually interpreted.

No, I think the mechanism is utterly broken. I just dont think the severity of charges are the bottleneck in the problem.

People should be encouraged to file, and the courts should have hearing within a reasonable timeframe, and do so efficiently.

The bottleneck is that the state does a terrible job of handling claims. califonia has an average wait time of 505 days for a hearing for people who dont drop or settle their claim. Under these conditions, most people will continue to not file claims. Especially when only 1 in 7 people that win in court actually get paid.

It doesn't help that the california government is grossly inefficient. The labor commission budget is >160 million, and issues ~50 million in judgements, of which only ~20% actually get paid. So we are talking about a program that costs 1600% more to run than the judgements it hands out.

How's that for depressing.

Couple comments:

1. I tried searching colonoscopy in the UES and the experience is a bit confusing.

Although it says "showing price for colonoscopy" I had to expand the price breakdown to see that some of the quotes (the cheaper ones) don't include the procedure and are just for a consult.

2. If the provider performs any services not listed in your Certainly Price Protection package, you will be liable and have to directly pay the provider for those services.

This is going to be challenging as you scale up. What you're doing/saying works for predictable encounters like derm as you state in comments but thinking of my own procedural days I often don't know what I'll be billing (or doing) until I'm starting the case. I'd imagine it's worse for my surgical colleagues.

It's a good idea, it'll be interesting to see how you tackle the bigger problem in surprise billing/price transparency which is the more complex work and encounters rather than the easy stuff like a consult, makes sense to start there though.

Not getting it. There are FOUR possible outcomes in two consecutive rolls.

HH: 2.25! HT: 0.9 TH: 0.9 TT: 0.36.

Expectation: 4.41/4 = 1.1025. The losses due to HT/HT get more than offset by the massive gain from HH over TT.

I can imagine there are arguments to be made about median expected value, and

It’s a mix. A lot of their PaaS services are Microsoft Service Fabric under the hood, running on Windows Server.

This is vaguely like Kubernetes but worse.

So for example they can’t do zone affinity for traffic routing, so all of their zone-redundant traffic ping-pongs between data centres like crazy.

If you use just a couple of layers of their services like private endpoints and app gateway, you can expect to see 15ms response times.

Yup. The Archive is pretty awesome. I've been going there to read old issues of BYTE for a couple years. How I miss the old days. Though... the games are much better these days so I shouldn't be TOO nostalgic.
I dont disagree. My point is mainly that if you are always avoiding risk and incurring the cost, you probably aren't doing it right, and probably don't understand the costs you are paying.

Not all losses are substantial, and not all substantial losses are greater the cost to avoid it. don't pay $20 for insurance on a $1 package.
Even the intro example about designing an aluminum part to be milled with a lathe as a simple first year college thing… no, we had a manufacturing class where we briefly used a lathe in junior year, but most of the stuff in college was academic. We were doing linear algebra and sizing HVAC systems, not designing for production.
My understanding is that Amazon runs imprints, like Audible Originals [1], that basically act like a publisher. I.e., they buy the rights, produce the audio, pay the voice actor, and the author gets some royalty (presumably smaller than 40%).

But my understanding is that the large publishers mostly do this themselves (and therefore have to pay the voice actor out of the 40% cut they get). Similarly, independent authors won't get access to this level of service; in some cases they're literally reading the book themselves, but they still only get the 40% cut (and that's with exclusivity).

The reason why audiobooks are cheaper is due to the subscription model. That's the chief innovation that Amazon pioneered with Audible. Now, their clout certainly also had something to do with it, and the burgeoning Kindle ecosystem. But the issue of price is really a matter of subscriptions being stickier and keeping customers in the ecosystem longer, making it possible to make aggregate more money. It's the same business model as Netflix, Dropbox, Adobe CC, etc.

I’ve been working a lot with Bayes factors lately. I don’t want to sound cultish, but I think part of the issue is this stuff doesn’t work “half way”. As soon as you’re talking about the null hypothesis and Bayes factors, you’re mixing up two schools of thought that don’t play nice.

Bayes factors work with comparing models. There is no null model. What, 0% effect? Ok, there was a non-zero effect. That model loses since it put the probability of 0% at 1 and everything else at 0. And if you do anything else, you’re encoding some amount of belief into the model, some judgment you’ve made.

So, you need to pick two models and compare them. I’m not saying this is right for science. It’s working well for my purposes. One model meaning “as planned”, one model meaning “not as planned”, use the Bayes factor to decide if things are going as planned. But you do need to be explicit about what models you’re comparing. You have to be able to just put some data in and get a probability back, or it’s not going to work.

This is what makes this criticism of Bayes factors so unpersuasive. They’re very easy to calculate, but they’re never calculated here! It’s just the ratio of marginal likelihoods, the probability of the data under the model.

Hi, I'm hamyn, 19 y.o. self-taught developer. Nowadays mostly focusing on Android development, but I'm not afraid working with different technologies. I like to explore, so I have worked as a Machine Technician _and_ as a Product manager before. But I am passionate about CS, software engineering, functional programming and KMP. Currently self learning aforementioned subjects(always will be..) Ideally I would look for a job after I had built up some mature projects and skills in software development, but due to certain circumstances, I have to work, to fund my projects and myself on the path of acquiring knowledge. I haven't applied to any university, I study by myself, that means my time schedule is pretty flexible.
There is a short introduction right on the link.

This is a great post. Another aha! moment I had in understanding Kalman Filter came from a short note by John D. Cook (link: https://www.johndcook.com/blog/applied-kalman-filtering/) . A traditional calculus/differential equations based modelling of systems takes a view that there is no uncertainty in the data and everything is captured by system model. OTOH, data driven estimator will say that "it is all in the data", completely ignoring the model of the physical process that is generating the data. Beauty of Kalman filters is that it combines these two approaches.
