I think in some of those cases you have conclusions drawn from raw data that could be replicated or reviewed. For example many teams use the same raw data from Large Colliders, or JWT, or other large science projects to reach competiting conclusions.

Yes in a perfect world we would also replicate the data collection but we do not live in a perfect world

Same is true for Drug Trials, there is always a battle over getting the raw data from drug trails as the companies claim that data is trade secret, so independent verification of drug trails is very expensive but if the FDA required not just the release of redacted conclusions and supporting redacted data but 100% of all data gathered it would be alot better IMO

For example the FDA says it will take decades to release the raw data from the COVID Vaccine trials.. Why... and that is after being forced to do so via a law suit.
You could create your own music by hand, but presumably someone wants to generate music because they want to target a specific skill like playing on the fly rather than playing something they just spent 15min writing.

Just like you might want to practice reading a foreign language with paragraphs you haven’t seen before, not the paragraphs you just wrote yourself. Certainly a useful skill to be able to write yourself, but not necessarily the skill you want to practice every time you want to practice reading.

I don’t see the problem.
Parameters of class type aren't passed by reference, either. Both instances of structs and instances of class are passed by value, except in the latter case the value being passed/copy is the reference. To pass by reference, you need `inout`.

Basing taxes on income and/or expenditures as opposed to property, and supplying a universal basic level of support for necessities?

As things are now, many or most are defacto forced to work(and consume - I believe the two are correlated {e.g. "I'm working like hell but will make up for it with a big vacation"}).

I believe universal guarantees of the necessities are justified in virtue of most or all resources being privitized and opportunities regulated. Besides, it appears many or most don't have an appetite to watch their fellow citizens starve or go completely without.

Please note that many or most people don't really want to "do nothing", they just want acceptable circumstances. It's hard for acceptable circumstances to exist in an environment that values extreme wealth. (For example, intellectually it may not seem like a big deal to compensate for increasing expenses by "working a little harder", but at some point that becomes "a lot harder".)
It’s both.

I don’t want to cycle 20 minutes when it’s 105F outside (today), or 30F outside (February). Frankly it could be a 5 minute cycle and it’s not going to happen in those temperatures.

Content Review for My Channel
Hello all

I have a new YouTube channel (https://youtube.com/@crankytechdad) and I’m looking for content ideas. Do you have a product or software that you want a 3rd party review of? Let me know! Let’s work something out together! I’m completely open. From Linux to windows, and anything else that you need, let me know! I’m only about a month in which is a great opportunity for all of us to grow together!

Thank you!!!

Hmm, I haven’t seen that correlation, but it’s worth noting that there are all sorts of people who keep pets for all sorts of different reasons, so I don’t doubt it’s true for some.
There is a book titled "Machine Learning System Design: With end-to-end examples" from Manning Publications. The book is available for early access program and is expected to be released in summer 2024. I haven't read the book, but I think it's worth to take a look.

There are definitely lies in some of the interactions in the article itself. First saying that it is in the wrong place, then saying that "the baggage team will take care of it". Not to mention mistakes made and not admitted. Not to mention they told CNN the woman would get her money back for the travel, but not contacting her.

If you're talking about support in general, they don't say "I don't have the time/resources/ability to handle that". They instead flat out lie to you (how many times I got the "your cancellation was requested" only to be charged again), shift blame often back to customers, ask customers to re-do procedures because of their own mistakes, transfer to phones that often disconnect, or even refuse to perform support by some channels ("please fax this form for cancelling you account"). Not to mention transferring the call and then disconnecting you, very common with cable/telecom.

Often the individual person is not to blame, as they're following orders, but they're also not saying the real reason for the problems, so you can definitely say they're paid to lie.

All of this has a reason. It's rarely lack of time, though. Cancelling some subscription sometimes takes several unnecessary minutes, sometimes hours when you put together days. This time could have been used to do actual support.
The A770 is available in a 16 GB variant, making it the cheapest card on the market to have that much VRAM. Nvidia's closest competitor, the 3060, only has 12 GB and to find more you need to go up to a 3090/4080. On the AMD side the 6800 also has 16 GB, but it's a fair bit more expensive than an A770.
I don't see how this could ever work, and non-scientists seem to often dramatically underestimate the amount of work it would be to replicate every published paper.

This of course depends a lot on the specific field, but it can easily be months of effort to replicate a paper. You save some time compared to the original as you don't have to repeat the dead ends and you might receive some samples and can skip parts of the preparation that way. But properly replicating a paper will still be a lot of effort, especially when there are any issues and it doesn't work on the first try. Then you have to troubleshoot your experiments and make sure that no mistakes were made. That can add a lot of time to the process.

This is also all work that doesn't benefit the scientists replicating the paper. It only costs them money and time.

If someone cares enough about the work to build on it, they will replicate it anyway. And in that case they have a good incentive to spend the effort. If that works this will indirectly support the original paper even if the following papers don't specifically replicate the original results. Though this part is much more problematic if the following experiments fail, then this will likely remain entirely unpublished. But the solution here unfortunately isn't as simple as just publishing negative results, it take far more work to create a solid negative result than just trying the experiments and abandoning them if they're not promising.
“Welcome to Jupyter AI, which brings generative AI to Jupyter”

Kinda strange statement. I think of Jupyter as one of the places generative AI originated!
> Now we’re not only a college-dominated profession; we’re an elite-college-dominated profession. Only 0.8 percent of college students graduate from the super-elite 12 schools (the Ivy League colleges, plus Stanford, M.I.T., Duke and the University of Chicago). A 2018 study found that more than 50 percent of the staff writers at the beloved New York Times and The Wall Street Journal attended one of the 29 most elite universities in the nation.

Great that one journalist is self-aware but I'm not sure the opinion of a single journalist warrants a change in perspective here.
Anyone can find an arrangement where they work less. You seem to imply everyone should be required to work less, so that you’re not competing with people that are willing to allocate more of their time to work.
You might not be wrong but I wouldn't mind seeing some actual data on the topic (admittedly have not looked). Google feels like a cheap example since their non-ads business model is to throw mud at the wall, and the graveyard is full of tech that did often make it into core apps. I've been on Gmail since forever, which stands as a Google-backed example of my previous comment sans some serious but statistically insignificant drama, which has prompted some to migrate and still have email.

Much of the early internet also isn't there anymore, and running a modern web application that hosts images, gifs, and videos at scale is obviously a different beast than static html where a marquee tag is as fancy as it gets.

It looks like the stairwell was built large to support the apartments next to it. Without the large number of occupants who would have to be able to safely exit thru them, maybe they could probably have some small tables/desks in there?

That's a really horrible take on the employees - you should probably place the blame clearly on the company itself.

I worked at a phone company call center, back when landlines were more common (20+ years ago). I worked in an inbound call center, where everyone was late on their bill or already had service turned off. We literally didn't have the tools to help with a billing dispute, if that's what wound up causing the issue. We had limited ability to even discuss bills with customers.

Pretty much, we had the ability to help with their late phone bill.

And as frustrating as that is, I figure other companies are the same. It isn't "no incentive" to help, but they are probably stuck without any tools nor abilities to actually help. It isn't even lying, just a crappy way of running a company.

And it is very common. It does mean that it is easier to train folks: We already had a decent amount of training at that job, both classroom and non-classroom, but it was just enough to do our jobs and follow various state & federal laws.

No point in throwing the masses of low-level employees under a bus and crap on them when the likely culprit is corporate policy.

Many years ago I traveled for work and would fly on Mondays and either Thursdays or Fridays. On some weekends I would go back “home”, and others I would go elsewhere. I often had several weeks of flights booked to various places, but typically going back to my work site.

I prefer to check a bag if it’s larger than a backpack and was making nearly a hundred trips a year without issue. And then one day my bag didn’t show up. The airline finally did find it, but they had sent it to a destination I happened to be visiting the next week. When they offered to ship it back I asked them to keep it where it was and they were incredulous. I was more concerned about not having it for the next leg of my trip and didn’t want something to happen to it in the mean time. When I arrived, it was waiting for me unscathed.

This was long before it was cheap enough to track anything of moderate value, so it was a relief that the bag was found at all.

The core problem is that those people with the wealth and power to do something about this - the Parasite Class at the top - are too greedy and obsessed with the obscene wealth they are acquiring with “Business As Usual”.

And they will never allow the politicians they have purchased to write legislation that turns off this spigot.

Even in aggregate, the average person can do nothing of material difference. This idea that our actions can make a difference is a red herring pushed down to us from the Parasite Class, in order to distract us from those who CAN make a difference… it’s just not profitable for them to do so.

> Unless you are on a narrow one way street (not common in the us I believe) I would say that congestion is the limiting factor for emergency vehicule mobility. And there is quite a lot of study that wider street do not reduce congestion.

Congestion is a separate problem from road design and it's not the limiting factor most of the time. Emergency vehicles need a grid of arteries with two lanes in each direction so cars can pull over in normal traffic conditions to let them through. These arteries lead into smaller 1 or 2 lane roads which don't see much traffic so there's little risk of the emergency vehicle getting impeded. In the suburbs of my city, for example, these arteries are placed every 1/2 mile to every mile depending on population density, which super-stroads every four-ish miles.

Areas with real congestion like main thoroughfares and city cores need different solutions like specific road designs (no center dividers) so that emergency vehicles can move onto oncoming traffic.
Fastcompany - ahh always quality journalism on HN
There are very few books I’ve bought two copies of. When I was a poor student it would be because a friend borrowed it and lost or damaged it (and damaged our friendship in the process. That was MY book, fucker.)

Once in a while the stars don’t align and I end up with different editions of one of the sequels. If I’m keeping them it’s nicer if I have a matched set. So I think there’s a copy of one of the Murderbot books and one of The Expanse in my giveaway bag. And I bought Three Body Problem because I had borrowed someone else’s and had only 2 and 3.

And then there was Braiding Sweetgrass. This book was almost ahead of its time. Released in 2014, it hit The NY Times Bestseller list in the middle of Quarantine, which is when I found it. By then it was on audiobook, I bought and was blown away by. The whole time I’m listening to it I just wished I could take a highlighter to the audio.

Some books, especially Great ones, have layers, or too much to absorb in one reading. So I bought a paper copy, and I can just open a random page and read it. Still haven’t bought a highlighter though.

As a meat eater ... you cannot yet know what you lack/you'd gain ;)

> pet owners, their empathy for pets seems to reduce their empathy for fellow humans

It's funny that when someone adopts a rabbit, pig, or chicken as a pet, they often (based on anecdotes) stop eating that specific type of meat, but they don't typically stop eating other animals.

Something changes when people decide to stop eating meat.

I once filed a claim with United for an item stolen out of my bag. They had an email address for receiving documents, but a policy to refuse to provide status updates by email. Status updates required a phone call. It seemed to be the same people answering both.

I'm having trouble imagining a reason for such a policy. If it was structured to make filing the claim harder in the first place, it would be evil, but at least rational. Incompetence seems more likely.
I can't believe I'm rising to United's defense, but they generally do have good bag tracking in the United app. We've had two instances of misrouted luggage on a domestic flight; we found it in the app, they had already detected it as an error, and they hand-delivered it the next day, the first time to the hotel (missing poster for a presentation), the second time to our house (regular luggage). Worth noting for full disclosure that we're Star Alliance Gold.

On the other hand, all that assumes they tagged the bag correctly, which the gate agent didn't do here, so that goes out the window.
Blocking won’t happen, but remember theses companies also detain a massive patent portifolio which is hard not to break while implementing similar techniques.
