How come on the iPhone I get a prompt saying " would like to access motion and orientation" but not on Android?
> But the original result is useful in its own right - it tells us that there may be something worth exploring.

I disagree. It shows that when someone writes something in a text editor and publishes it, others can read the words they wrote. That's all it shows, by itself. Just like someone writing something on the web only tells us that a textarea accepts just about any input.

And even if it did show more than that, when someone "explores" it, is the result is more of that, something that might be true, might not be, but "is worth exploring"? Then at what point does falsifiability enter into it? Why not right away? To me it's just another variation of making it someone else's problem, kicking the can down the road.

> if it is exciting enough, and lots of eyes end up looking, then flaws are typically found fairly quickly.

If that was true, there wouldn't even be a replication issue, much less a replication crisis. It's like saying open source means a lot of people look at the code, if it's important enough. Time and time again that's proven wrong, e.g. https://www.zdnet.com/article/open-source-software-security-...

> yes of course I've written code that only runs on my machine. I imagine everyone has

I wouldn't even know how to go about doing that. Can you post something that only runs on one of your machines, and you don't know why? Note I didn't say your machine, I said one machine of yours. Would you publish something that runs on one machine of yours but not a single other one, other than to ask "can anyone tell me why this only runs on this machine"? I doubt it.

Interesting. Sometimes pockets of not-water (vacuum?) appear in the middle of the liquid. Based on observation of real water, such cavitation would not form in water splashing around in a bucket.

A lot of papers are done as a part of the process of getting a degree or keeping or getting job. The value is mostly the candidate showing they have the acumen to produce a paper of such quality that meets the publisher and peer review requirements. In some cases, it is to show a future employer some level of accomplishment or renown. The knowledge for humanity is mostly the authors ability to get published.

I have deleted Twitter a long time ago after trying it years before the acquisition and tried many others and deleted my account(s) on the other alternatives.

Replacing or migrating from one social network to another isn't the solution to social media addiction which many users here are craving for. It just prolongs the addiction and one doesn't stop and quit their alcohol addiction by drinking a different brand of alcohol.

So the only solution is to completely delete your account(s) and these apps. Seems like these folks have never been more happier after deleting their accounts. [0]

It appears that they have planted some saplings, which could grow to large, leafy canopy trees, given enough decades.

Keep in mind that this is a brand-new development, and they started by razing derelict SFHs to bare earth. You cannot simply plant fully-grown shade trees.

However, this is already an oasis of shade and civilization in a concrete urban jungle. If anyone exits the property to walk to the post office, or to where they parked their car, they'll find a dearth of shade trees. There are a few Palo Verdes, but the most shade can be found next to a traffic signal, really.
Fair points all around.

And by the way? I'm an android fan. Though Apple is more secure in some ways, I would much rather have control over my device.
This isn't true. I worked for three years helping write automation utilities for an engineering department. I talked to the people who were able to work more easily and effectively due to my work every day. I heard how I was helping them and how I could improve things and I constantly worked to make things work better for them. I absolutely found the work satisfying for multiple years.

If you define "singularity" as the eradication of all meaningful entropy in the universe, then I guess. But that's a mighty high bar to pass, and I don't think two-bit language models trained on Tom Sawyer and Fifty Shades will get you there.
They wanted to make it low friction to learn for their audience who are largely javascript programmers. I think it's a reasonable tradeoff even if I personally would prefer a more combinator style syntax.
Nothing. Quit Twitter in 2016, and haven't looked back or at any alternatives. I wasn't getting anything out of social media and, even after looking at alternatives, I was just put off by the sameness of it all.

Slim binaries and better static compilation were mentioned as big future features in the closing remarks, so that'd be a good one to watch - a lot of the people there working in embedded, robotics, or plane satellite projects were excited about those.

There weren't any talks I saw where anyone was actually running Julia in space, but Ronan Chagas' "Attitude control subsystem development using Julia" and Corbin Klett's "Realtime embedded systems testing with Julia" both get pretty close and point out reasons why you wouldn't quite want to run Julia on a satellite or plane just yet. Hopefully the videos capture the questions from the audience because there were some good followups!

Most of Europe wants more US military protection, while the US would prefer to wind it down and Europe to contribute more. Whether you're Germany, Italy, or Spain, with severe deficiency in the NATO ask of 2% GDP to defense, or Poland who contributes far more than their required share and still prefers more US defense. Lest we not forget that 5 years ago, the US moved significant troops from Germany to Poland, because of Germany's continued unwillingness to spend on their defense. This caused uproar in Germany and applause in Poland.
Yes, what happens when the senior engineer leaves the company, having never shared his or her knowledge?

It sounds like you are trying to address issues during mentoring that should have been addressed during the hiring process. In my experience, all the juniors I've worked with come in with the idea that they can solve every single issue themselves, and part of my job is to show them how wasteful that is, that a simple question can save the whole team days if not weeks worth of time.

If someone walked through the door who is not enthusiastic about solving technical issues themselves...your hiring process needs work.
I feel like I'm missing some cultural context here that made this a semi- difficult read: obviously? the word "massage parlour" is some local euphemism for some kind of sex work and its implied they aren't actually masseurs/masseuses? but can someone explain to me exactly what the nature of the arrangement/work/ business she's working in is?

is it just prostitution and for some reason they don't call it that in Canada? is it legal/illegal? is there an implication about its location? are they in some regulatory grey zone? is it men just dropping in to be touched or is it something more? are they just operating on a drop in schedule and does that imply something about the relative standing of the establishment compared to other sex work etc? are they contractors or operating their own business?

If you ever get cancer... Maybe it's just that I lucked into getting the most aggressive oncologists, but on more than one occasion I was sent to get an MRI or CT on the spur of the moment. There were times when it was scheduled out as well - but along the lines of "come back in six months; we'll schedule the CT for the week before".

(But I know I was lucky - my oncologist could order a river to reverse itself and it probably would.)

We have the most ethnically diverse population in the world. Blacks commit more than half of all US crime despite being a tenth of the population. We’re a gigantic state with both the least restrictive gun laws and the most permissive immigration laws in the world. No comparable nation not named China drives nearly as much as we do.

To say our policing systems are bad is a smear on the hard-working men and women in those systems. The US simply has challenges that European nations do not have. You can (and maybe should) debate whether or not those challenges should be present in the first place but blaming those challenges on the police is just mean.
A few months ago my gf went in for a 6 month cleaning (to her regular dentist office of several years) and they told he she had 4 cavities, after having none 6 months prior. She got a second opinion and the diagnosis was zero cavities. She called the original office to see what their angle was and they said something to the effect of "ok, no problem. See you in 6 months." They were so used to getting away with fraud (or worse), they didn't even blink.

Whether or not you would be doing original research depends on whether the cited work can be replicated.

If the cited work is unable to be replicated, and you try to replicate but get different results, then you would be doing original research, and then you can base further work on your initial original study that came to a different result.

On the flip side, if you are able to replicate it, then you are doing extra work initially, but after replicating the work you've cited, the work you've done is more likely to be reproducible by someone else.

The amount of citations needed to require replication could itself be a function of how easy it is to replicate work across an entire field.

A field where there's a high rate of success in replicating work could have a higher threshold for requiring replication compared to a field where it's difficult to replicate work.
The real problem is there's no competition in Canadian media.

In Canada, "Monopoly" is often confused for a free market.
Then those unconfirmed results are better put on arxiv, instead of being used to evaluate the performance of scientists. Tenure and grant committees should only consider replicated work.

I think the US is kind of unique when it comes to motorcycle safety laws (or rather the lack of them) and still 18 states + DC require helmets for all riders. Most states have some age requirements, and only three states have no helmet laws for motorcycles.

Every country in Europe requires a helmet, so does Canada and Mexico.

A lot of peers in my PhD cohort and myself were always impressed with how much more math the average dissertation seemed to contain 50 years ago when we’d flip through the copies kept in the break room. Even non-theorists had to do a lot more analysis themselves since simulations were non-existent, not accessible, or not good enough for their needs back then.

We always wondered if we were missing out on some insight or intuition by not having to churn through the mathematical analysis they did because simulation was so easy for us. On one hand, the computer can tackle situations we could never come up with a good approximation for to studying analytically. On the other hand, maybe we’d be asking our computers smarter questions if we had to grind through that stuff by hand in our own research for a few years before getting high-quality simulations.

>> Since LLMs infer statistical relationships of languages produced by human brains, they are in a real sense building a statistical model of how the human brain processes language.

I think we understand very well that a statistical model can accurately predict the behaviour of a system and still have nothing to do with how the system operates internally.

In a sense, that's the big advantage of building statistical models: you don't need to consider the internals of the system you're modelling.
what does that even mean in this context?

This is actually a really good point. My understanding of traditional line ups (do not take my word for this, at all) is that cops put someone(s) in the lineup because they have reason to believe that person is a suspect for some reason, and then then the victim is supposed to pick them out from among other random people. If the entire lineup is selected to be people who "look like the suspect", and, in fact, that's why every one of them is there, then the victim picking them seems to be A) much sketchier and B) much less valuable.

The proper way to use this tool seems to be

1. Find all the people who look similar to the low quality pic we have of the suspect.

2. Investigate those people to see if they could have done it.

3. Arrest someone who you hopefully now have additional evidence against besides just "they look like a grainy photo of the suspect"

Just throwing a bunch of people who look like the suspect at the victim and just arresting whoever the victim picks seems completely insane. But also, like it doesn't have too much to do with "Facial recognition" broadly speaking and more to do with completely idiotic investigative practices.
Both come with upsides and downsides: it's worth reading the discussion threads[1][2] on both!

I think I agree with you, but it's worth noting that embedding TOML into a here-string also raises some problems: it means that a maximally correct parser will need to handle string continuations, for example. It's also incompatible with what existing tools do, which is consume an unspecified form of PEP 722's syntax. These are not insurmountable problems, but they are reasonable considerations.

> It actually increments each word it finds

Did you try it? Because that's not what it does. submatch(0) expands to the first submatch, which is the entire thing that's matched, and +1 adds 1 to this, which will a;ways result in "1" here since any string that doesn't start with a digit will be type-coerced to 0.

Anyway, /n being intended sounds likely; I forgot that would report the number of matches. Still very odd how that got morphed to what's in the article.

Not many people can actually perform this job.

This kind of job requires really solid skillset across various domains.

It feels like you not only need to be great at managing people, doing business, doing politics (the real one), having vision, but also do not be bullshitter, so your employees believe in you.

Meanwhile, CEOs strategies aren't something you can test within a month or two and fire CEO and get a new one.

In some industries you need at least a few years in order to see whether specific "bet" was good, so you aren't going to fire your CEO after half of the year.

Meanwhile CEOs decision can have very very costly impact on the company, so the risk is huge.
