> The insanity goes both ways: I refuse to use a cellphone, so I will not buy a car that has Android or Apple stuff.

I think you are firmly in the minority here and probably not the market they are building for. I bet much less than 1% of people who will buy a car in the next year refuse to use a cell phone.
They were undergrads. Nobody expects undergrads to solve decade old research problems in a few months.

These seminars are about deep dives into particular mathematical questions. Maybe including some recent "doable" unsolved problems.
Pair the storage with some solar, and you could probably reduce the storage size or increase the survival duration (or both).

It's quite possible to do. Get a new Subaru, then get a double DIN dash kit https://www.crutchfield.com/p_003SBK931B/American-Internatio... and then you can ask your car stereo guy for a blank Double DIN plate. It's not out of the box, but you'll block off the screen entirely and you won't have audio or screen or anything except your HUD.

Apparently there is a lot of this in the Vancouver market in BC, Canada:

> In their review of the sector, the Expert Panel estimated that more than $7 billion in dirty money was laundered in B.C. in 2018, and between $800 million and $5.3 billion was laundered through the real estate market, raising housing prices by an estimated 5%.

Sorry it used to be an Airbnb, it was turned into a traditional rental I found on Zillow and jumped on.

Usually I don't like renting but we are in between houses after selling ours and the mortgage on this house would be 1.6x what we are paying in rent with current interest rates, etc. It is hard to justify buying right now.
This seems... like a terrible idea on the surface. The cost of LLM hallucination in a time critical crisis situation seems immense
So they should stop doing this on pages that they are deleting now.
Maybe, except from my understanding an embedding vector tends to be much larger than the source token (due to the high dimensionality of the embedding space). So it's almost like a reverse compression in a way. That said I know vector DBs have much more efficient ways of storing those vector embedding.
Doesn’t matter cause still not a huge pattern to be able to figure out and limited resources.
That roping nazis into every discussion is a super cheap and intellectually lazy rhetorics.
Generalize has a tendency to imply you can extrapolate. And in most case it's actually the opposite that happens: neural nets tend to COMPRESS the data. (which in turn is a good thing in many case because the data is noisy)
It's bad, ok... But honestly what's the goal? To let people name anything, including the name of a channel, anything they like, like, say:

"rm -rf /*"

Wait, I've got better: that rm -rf, but written "fr- mr" with RLO left/right overrides.

Surely that is something to aim for because nothing shall ever go wrong?

Thankfully having a file named https://example.org is illegal in Linux (and Windows too right?).

Seriously: is this a problem of you? And if it's a problem, where do you draw the line?

What about codepoint 0? What about Hangul fillers and RLO characters: do you think applications who refuse these do suck?

There are, thankfully, limitation on what filenames can contain. And I think the restrictions aren't anywhere near restrictive enough. Same for usernames, same for channels, same for oh-so-many things.

Does anyone really find it problematic that, say, Twitter only allows visible alphanumeric characters and underscore? (and 15 chars max)

This seems very smart to me. I take that any day over longing for people being able to use poop emojis in their usernames and channels names.

Many people go to college later on in their lives too. I've mostly seen them in community colleges because they're easier to adapt into your adult lifestyle than a university, but I've also seen older people seeking education at university. Not saying that's the majority of the 9 million, but it could make up a fair chunk.
Overnight successes take years to happen. The road to $50k MRR is littered with failures that you never hear about. You can learn to do it, and with enough motivation, and a healthy dose of luck, you'll make one too. You just have to dream. But it's a lot of long nights of being at home working, usually by yourself, instead of going out and making friends on weekends. And it may not pan out. I'll say that again: All your work could amount to a -$1,000 MRR from hosting and other costs.

But if you want to do more than just dream of a $50k MRR, put your mind to it, learn the skills, from teachers and by doing, and reach for the stars.
The UK housing market is at least as f'ed up as the US market, in terms of actual construction of housing (no matter how badly needed) being mostly forbidden.
Sounds like they were built to be expensive then, and never really an option for everyday people
Similar here. A couple big bins for bulky things that are still useful, like my previous router that I sometimes need to unbork the current router during bad firmware updates. Small Sterilite boxes that are well-labeled so that anyone in my house can find things and put them back in the right place if they find a stray geegaw on the coffee table. We also have a lost-and-found bowl on a countertop for things we don't have the time to file immediately.

For me, identifying obsolescence is secondary to deduplication. It seems like USB cables breed if not monitored. Thinning the herd keeps things fitting in the small boxes.

It was all easier once I abandoned

The things in SynJax aren't neural nets themselves as far as I see poking around, it's a bunch of different [complicated] probability distributions that you might encounter when modeling neural nets or related tasks stochastically. More of a toolbox of components implemented in JAX for advanced statistical modeling inside of a NN. Could also be useful apart from NNs, too.

> People finance their cars, their education, their music, healthcare, phones, laptops, just about any major appliance. You can even finance your food!

It used to be the case that you could realistically save up money to buy a car or whatever. These days, so many people are living paycheck to paycheck that they can't afford assets at all, and forget about home ownership or other kinds of equity. Some may be lucky enough to have a 401k with an employer match, but without the latter I see why many people prioritize immediate survival over long-term financial planning.
Most of the details for doing this are over my head but wow what a nerd-snipe!
I know one of one person doing a "streaming based" record label that brings in quite a bit of money. As I understand it (and I don't know if the business opportunity still exists), the best way to succeed is acquiring rights for an existing catalog of popular music. Through a family connection he had started acquiring the rights to several old 70s and 80s mexican/southern american music and putting them on streaming. The music already had an audience, there was no talent to maintain, and acquiring the licenses was relatively cheap.

As for new music; I don't see what a "side business" label could offer an artist that they couldn't do themselves with distrokid. Unless you had the capital to develop, build, and market artists I think it would be very difficult to generate a return.

I think your RE style AI suggestion can be done in the traditional sense of AI in game development; that is, without machine learning involved at all. That's all possible with goal oriented action planning, and similar techniques. Game developers often find though, that making the AI too smart can actually make players dislike playing, or putting completely fair but very smart AI in can make the players report that they feel the AI is cheating or unfair. So it gets dumbed down.

The main issue I see with generative AI and games is that it's all good to be able to chat to an NPC as if it were a person with a personality and knowledge of the world. There's an issue of fidelity though; how can you ensure that the AI only reports things that are true about the game world? And then, the issue of actual behaviour: an LLM might generate speech that has the NPC you're talking to say that they're going off to the inn at 5pm to recruit some sellswords, then march to the den of a fire dragon to defeat it, stopping along the way to collect an ice sword from its guardian maiden who lives in a giant tree nearby. OK, it's to generate that text from the player's prompts, it's very difficult to then actually have the NPCs act out the things that the LLM has just said it would do, tying in pathfinding, scheduling, animation, group behaviour and so on, and carrying out those actions would probably involve more traditional game AI techniques (again, not machine learning) anyway. Maybe that'll be solved some other way, maybe this repo does something like that already, I didn't check.
Some autoimmune diseases appear to be due pathological differences in the intestinal microbiome, typically when its flora diversity is drastically reduced. The latter is more common in first world countries, and especially among highly sanitised environments, such as overuse (unnecessary use) of antimicrobial agents and consumption of too much food which has been processed such that all microbes have been destroyed. Allergies are also a class of immune disorder, more prevalent among those who have little gut flora diversity. Unfortunately, while high diversity reduces the likelihood of developing allergies, increasing intestinal flora diversity does not seem to reduce existing allergies.

The listing seems to have rendered images instead of photos. Why?

And the listing shows no reviews at all.

Is that possible? Why don't they at least have some friends book the apartment and write the first reviews?

Personally, I never rent apartments with less than 100 reviews. That might be extreme. But I would imagine most people won't rent one with no reviews at all.

It's not true, if you look at deep CNN the lower layers show lines, the higher complex stuff like eyes or football players etc.. Herarchisation of information actually emerges naturally in NNs.

Generalization often implies extrapolation on new data, which is just not the case most of the time with NNs and why i didn't like the word
Instead of Android Auto, Apple CarPlay, or some “custom OS”, all I want is a standard video input that will be displayed on a screen.

To make this even better, route the touch input of the screen back to the device, in some simple way (for example, as a mouse position, not sure of any touch protocols).

Any software has a pretty good chance of getting deprecated or irrelevant during the lifetime of a car. Just think of what is still actively supported in the mobile world from 10 years ago. My 2013 car doesn’t have Android Auto or CarPlay, but has built-in “apps” for Stitcher and Pandora, which I never used. The bluetooth connection still works, but is really flaky with newer iPhone (a 2013 Android worked exceptionally well, however).
What about a humble letter, uncomplainingly explaining your situation, asking for help. If this is refused (unlikely if I were to write such a letter) you might see if the professional association would be help. Either way you'll have to be nice.

PS sometimes you can strike a case where the person who is supposed to do the work gets a huff going or something and will not help whatever. Sometimes you can ask a lawyer (? your country) to make the request on your behalf, which is likely to evoke a response.
Actually the definition of 'grok' is discussed in the book; you can find some relevant snippets at https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grok. My recollection is that the book says the original / literal meaning is "drink", but this isn't supported by the Wikipedia quotes and perhaps I am misremembering, it has been a long time.

Perhaps because a tall residential building in a tourist spot is an eyesore.

I'm referring to that statement because it's something people say, hence the quotes. I'm not saying I agree with its full scope now. But I get where it's coming from more than I did before.

While university admissions people aren't representative of white people, they're in the class of people I had always assumed didn't see people in terms of race. I knew affirmative action was a thing, but I kind of assumed it was a mathematical, maybe computerized process. I didn't realize they were sifting through applications saying "oh, here's a hispanic, and that one's a black kid, shoot this one's an asian."
@afavour: The topic isn't as simple as having a HTTP header with a unique identifier. Browser Fingerprinting is a complex process, that uses unintentional implementation details, like how things are rendered with different graphics drivers or details you can get from APIs that are intended for other purposes (like WebRTC).

The site that morjom posted gives you a simple overview and Firefox is known for the privacy preserving features it comes with. However, you are right, that it is an inexact science as long as we don't know the logic of the Cloudflare implementation.

Instead your city is getting more tourism?

IDK if that is net positive or negative, but FWIW most areas try to boost tourism as much as possible. (Like, every U.S. state has a tourism dept/budget.)
The first study looks at federal

> Increasing the federal minimum wage to $10.10 by July 1, 2015, would raise the wages of about 30 million workers, who would receive over $51 billion in additional wages over the phase-in period.

> Across the phase-in period of the minimum-wage increase, GDP would increase by roughly $32.6 billion, resulting in the creation of approximately 140,000 net new jobs (and 284,000 job years) over that period.

30 million out of 156 million workers is ~19.2% of the workforce. Not nothing and not to mention the knock-on effects it'll have for workers just barely above that

The second link specifically analyzes both localized and federal minimum wage increases and explicitly tackles the question "Are the Effects Bigger When More Workers are Affected?"

> The pattern of results for nominal consumption growth are similar—the direct spending response is somewhat stronger than when we do not control for the share of low-wage workers across locations, and there is evidence of a small but positive differential effect in areas with a higher share of low-wage workers

The third is a collection of research looking at wage increases in general, not just minimum wage (contrary to OP's comment)
Comments like these remind of me of how disconnected devs are from the real world noobs like me. Which means more real world problems to be potentially solved by startups who can deliver, even if there's a solution that "really just works".
AirBnB is the worst thing to happen to the housing market and towns need to outright ban it or allow specific areas for short term housing. Generally short term housing causes headache for the neighbors.

People who often do short stays don’t give a crap about noise, neighbors, or anything else.

Plus many got into airbnb to get rich. Have 0 business sense, 0 landlord experience and often don’t maintain the property.

Plus, every time I stayed at Airbnb I felt scammed. The pictures always lied. Some of the things were not as advertised. And before leaving I had a todo list. Absolutely pathetic way to spend vacations.

Gravity is a centripetal force that is constantly accelerating an orbiting body towards the orbited body. There is no counter-force that cancels it out. An object traveling in a circle is constantly accelerating, and by F=MA must have a force constantly acting against it.

You can use coordinate frames to magick up some imaginary force that explains what happens in a limited, non-inertial frame, but that does not mean the force exists. There is no magical force that appears to lift an object up and away from the Earth once it's traveling fast enough.

I've never once used an imaginary centrifugal force in any of my orbital calclulations, for what it's worth.

Two sides to this coin: Yes, some landlords are [very] bad, but some AirBnB tenants will abuse the system at any chance they get.

I talked to someone who was renting out their basement apartment on AirBnB for a few months before a remodel was scheduled. They had one tenant try to file complaints about everything, down to the color of the bedding not matching the photos posted online. “Property not as described in listing”.

They ultimately won, but it was a lot of hassle.

Any marketplace has these issues. Getting the balance right is hard. I’ve had to fight a similar battle on eBay where someone waited until 4 hours before the claim deadline to file a claim that my “item was not as described”. They then requested a return and gave me a fake tracking number that never arrived. It took months and months to sort it out, but eBay was actually decent about looking at the facts. Still an annoying time sink I could have done without.
