From the article. most people prefer to avoid stopovers so there is more demand for a direct flight from point A to point C, pushing the price up.

Since there is less demand to fly from point A to point C via point B, the price point is lower.
Something they know about the destination makes them expect you to be less price-sensitive, so they charge a higher price despite lower costs. A competitor should eat their lunch when they do it, but there don’t seem to be enough.
It’s little unfair to generalize about unionization from an anecdote about the NYT. I don’t think retail, factory, construction, and fast food workers are concerned with ‘merit based’ salary
Right. It's more that a company already had the option to voluntarily recognize the union. This says, if they aren't willing to take that option of voluntarily recognizing it, they must do something else (hold an election).
Well if we are talking about the point of open source, then really, the lack of restrictions is the point. Some commercial entities wish to redefine the term because it benefits their marketing, but is that the line we want to draw in the sand?
Yeah, I don't understand why the grandparent commenter is so... happy about narcotics. Being in a permanent state of drug-induced euphoria isn't a good thing. Forget productivity—narcotics suppress every other natural emotion and memory, and people just become husks of themselves, always seeking that next high, that next injection. Alcoholism causes plenty of injury to others—drink-driving for one.

It almost sounds like the grandparent is going to welcome The Matrix. Are things so bad that they would rather take the blue pill and forget the real world altogether?
I guess dry mouth increases incidence of periodontal disease. Some people get cannabinoid hyperemesis syndrome, but that's somewhat rare.
With long term, increasing use, I personally experienced insomnia, anxiety, and lack of appetite. Only with 1g of dabs a week. YMMV. I've quit weed and alcohol, but I consider weed usually a lesser evil. Alcohol really fucked my depression up.

Ultimately though you could do that using separate websites, IMO there isn't a need for a desktop for that use case.

I wonder what are the fundamental features of desktop? Drag and drop, copy & paste, multiple windows being open thereby keeping track of multiple user states, better organisation of the underlying file structure, interaction centered on cursor and menus, keyboard usage focused on content input not command input, and allowing various inpedendent applications from interacting together via a unified view, unified file structure and unified visual shortcuts.

I think that a OS in the Browser would be great if it would allow websites to visually interact with one another, just as desktop OS's allow various applications to interact visually - via drag&drop for example. Then it would make sense for me to use an OS in the Browser.
I really should. I only fly 3-4x a year but it's probably still worth it. I'd probably start bringing my kindle too, which only adds to the irony of the top comment.
Federal law allows for arrangements where employees can be required to join the union after being hired, or can choose to not join but have to pay the union a fee for their representation.

"Right-to-work" states change this and don't allow those arrangements: employees are free to not join and not pay.

The "closed shop," where only members of the union are hired, is illegal everywhere in the US under federal law.
It's "explained" in the article. Trips from one large hub to another are in high demand, so the price is high. Trips from a large hub to a small place are in low demand, so the price is lower. The main defense is "the pricing model is complex."

But it's clear for all to see that it's nonsense. First, complexity is no defense for anything. Second, the resource utilization is strictly higher in the skiplag case: the demand on the first leg is the same, so demand can't be justification either.

If the price for a multi-leg trip can be lower, that must be because the earnings on the second part of the trip outweigh the loss on the first part. That would also mean the single leg passengers are subsidizing the remaining legs.
Unfortunately for employers, the robots software Abo has unionized and raised the price to extract maximum value.
FWIW, the things I've been warned, banned, and hell-banned for on this site have never struck me as consistent enough in their application that I could discern a pattern other than the fact that I'm usually drunk and belligerent when I write them. The fact that they happen to be railing against powers that be isn't too unusual; I would have quit the site if I thought I couldn't speak my mind, as long as I speak it in ways that contribute to the conversation and aren't just throwing grenades. Don't get me wrong, I love intelligent flame wars. But on reflection, I actually more appreciate the components of a good flame war that fall into the discussion category rather than the truth paradigm. At least, y'know, there's a time and place, and there are well-defined rules. If a site says it's interested in X and you're interested in Y, at least they've made their preferences clear. In a free market they survive or they don't. I think that imagining that it's lesser to seek curiosity/discussion (which are fairly concrete, defined parameters) than to seek truth/fairness (and here we get into a kind of Romantic vs Enlightenment argument as to whether these words align with particular actions) is to try to stake a higher ground on vague claims of higher "morality" which some might agree with, others not so much, but which don't ultimately aid in the day-to-day function of moderation unless someone decides what "truth" is. Personally I'd rather take the beating of being banned for saying something rude or unhelpful than I would take a beating on a site where someone gets to decide what's true or fair.
This so-called "scalar" triple product is not scalar.

It is a pseudo-scalar, which means that its value depends on the system of coordinates that is used. More precisely, its sign changes between right and left systems of coordinates.

In physics it is very important to understand the differences between the different kinds of quantities, e.g. scalars, vectors a.k.a. polar vectors, pseudo-vectors a.k.a. axial vectors, pseudo-scalars, symmetric tensors and so on, otherwise it is easy to make mistakes.

Remove the code from the repo, put it in another repo, probably. I don’t remember signing a CLA 7 years ago, but somehow they relicensed without me needing to agree. All my code was pulled out into a separate package/plugin that is still MIT.
The withings sleep mat analyser seems very accurate (Its approved by the European Medical council). It diaganosed my sleep apnea.
In the example given in the story, the kid was flying from JAX to NYC with a connection in CLT (one of the larger AA hubs). In that case, AA probably priced the flight to NYC lower in order to compete with some rate that United or Delta was offering. A "normal" flight to CLT might be a lot more expensive - but it's artificially marked up with a hefty profit. Now American Airlines is whining because they can't squeeze profit out of every passenger because people are doing this. They claim it's against their terms of service... but screw that noise.

I think it should be illegal for them to bar skiplagging. I hope lawsuit blows up in their face and the FTC and Consumer Protection step in to bar airlines from fighting it.
Because paid time off is not a thing in the US I can imagine that people have difficulties imaging how this could be organized in the company, especially for small ones. This is what I experienced in Switzerland.

- Sometimes the company just closes for two weeks the summer (Betriebsferien). You see this for restaurants, bakeries, and so on. They post a sign at the door with the dates and when they open again.

- If the company can't close, colleagues aren't allowed to take paid time off at the same time. Colleagues tell each other what they do such that substitution is possible.

- Sometimes the company partially closes and has only a minimal service running.

- It is accepted that during the holiday seasons everything runs a lot slower.

- Sometimes it just does not matter, especially for large companies or for very fluid working situations like health care. There will be always some people picking up what needs to be done.

- Sometimes the employee takes the work into holidays but this is somewhat frowned upon because the expectation is that you really take time off.

And when the company reopens or the colleagues return from their holidays they bring a lot of fresh energy. And because all companies do this there is no loss of competitive activity. Companies tend to focus how to manage paid time off well instead of blocking it.
In my experience, that sort of portability is overrated anyway. Win32 on x86 is going to be fine for a majority of users.

Lots of configuration needed to be able to just send or receive files.

Am I supposed to make another account just for receiving files? What if I get it wrong?

How will I keep track of the long password I suddenly need or the keys I'm going to have to share?

And then I'm going to need a new app anyway because mobile has no builtin SSH.

And then there's no UI, so I'll have to do lots of typing and it will be more work unless you touch type...

SSH is great but this is a specific use case they're making a dedicated app for, that makes it easy and doesn't add more configuration, which I'd then have to maintain maybe want a dotfile management tool.

There's so many pieces to a CLI workflow. It's awesome if you do the kind of work that benefits from it already and everything's set up, but... I don't use SSH at home. Or have a dotfile management system. Or manage files often on the CLI.
On most of their tests gpt-4 is not actually worse [1]. In particular coding results are affected by changed due to different output format rather than worse abilities [2]. But that's ok because the message of the paper is that there is strong drift between versions and developers should be aware of it, not that gpt becomes worse [3].

Yes. This is expressed by reversing Einstein's aphorism:

Interaction events create the space-time interval between them.
I do not think that anyone is arguing that it does not make sense that we say write 東京駅 (Toukyoueki) for "Tokyo Station" in Japan and that -eki as a suffix is to be expected here. However, if you see a purging of already existing terms in a country, akin to turning Sauerkraut into Liberty Cabbage, it probably indicates that something other than an increased consideration for monolingual speakers is going on.

If what the grandparent's linked Economist article says is true: "The province of Hainan has launched a campaign to 'clean up and rectify' kindergarten names by purging a variety of words, including 'world', 'global', 'bilingual' and 'international'", it does make me feel somewhat sad, as I would hope that many of the terms they list as falling out of favour should remain positive and aspirations for us as a species regardless of the political winds in Beijing.
Sounds like schadenfreude.
This isn't true. In fact, it's the reverse of true. If you think a bit more carefully about your argument, you'll realize that you've asserted that the single most revolutionary advance of modern deep networks (i.e. network architectures whose performance scales neatly with their parameter counts & training epochs) automatically portends "the plateau of forward progress."
Yeah my company is currently switching to macOS.

We write software in C#, most employees still use VisualStudio, we still have some legacy code in .NET Framework (everything else is netcore). It’s a 20 years old company.

So that’s the typical windows shop but still we are migrating to macOS. That’s how much Windows have become a shit show.
Commercial rents aren’t fixed in stone, either.

> Two divisors for positive integer X: 1, X

Again, 1 fits, because it has two divisors: 1, and 1. You never said X != 1, nor does the definition upthread.

This isn't a silly gotcha, these things matter in math. For instance, when solving a quadratic equation, allowing for the solutions to be equal lets you avoid special-casing your understanding - instead of memorizing when the equation has zero, one or two solutions, you just learn it has two or zero (real) solutions, and the two solutions are allowed to be equal.

It's perfectly reasonable understanding. Inequality isn't a natural implicit assumption. E.g. if I say you have two variables:

int a;
int b;

I doubt you'd be insisting that `a != b` at all times.
Yeah good luck working a job where everyone else is union and you’re not though, you’ll find your lunch missing and people will be total jerks to you at every possible turn…

This is totally wrong. Fine-tuning techniques were a prerequisite for turning academically impressive but boring and useless models into useful, compelling user products like ChatGPT. Fine-tuning complements fundamental model improvements -- it doesn't substitute for them.
> You can be for privacy and against survailance.

Is this a typo? Of course you can they’re literally opposites.

You’re performing mental gymnastics if you think that the EU is somehow “pro privacy” just because they created cookie banners via GDPR. State sponsored surveillance is FAR worse than corporate sponsored surveillance.
Because a framework with components is just basic UI building blocks. There's a lot more that goes in building a full-fledged app. Layouts, page design, dynamic data, business logic etc. A low code builder like Appsmith helps devs orchestrate all of this much more easily.

As someone who has been involved in many open source foundations over the years, they all have their pros/cons. If you are looking for the most customized approach, the Linux Foundation (LF) is probably the most customizable as they have build hundreds of entities that many people may not think of being part of the LF... CNCF... GraphQL Foundation... R Consortium... OpenJS Foundation... Overture Maps Foundation... LF is really "foundation as a service" and they are best at ecosystem building from my biased perspective.

There are other foundations out there with their own advantages... ASF is very lightweight and pretty much accepts anything open source as long as you adhere to their fairly simple rules... EF is great if you have a need for a European base etc
Unions are form of collusion/price fixing where employees attempt to gain a monopoly on labor and raise wages/rents above market rate. However, this form of antitrust is not illegal because corporations, were they people, would be psychopaths that actually behave even more badly. And, all things being equal, groups of people deserve wealth more than corporations do.
FYI 99% of CNCF projects use DCO, only a handful still use CLA but we give projects a CHOICE in the matter. I prefer DCO personally because it's a lower barrier to entry for contributors (e.g., not formal legal agreement to sign and be reviewed by lawyers)
Yeah. I don’t really love that companies exploited something hashicorp gave away for free, then play good when they finally have to commit to the ecosystem when hashicorp takes it away.

Where was this support when they built a business on this free work?
The problem is that they overlap. If one company is sexist and another isn't, you go and work for the non-sexist company. But then that company gets a sexist union and you're screwed.

And this is worse the more consolidated an industry is because you have fewer chances to find unencumbered employment, but those are the industries where unions tend to show up. So it's much better to break up those companies so their employees have lots of employers to choose from and therefore more bargaining power, than to consolidate the workers into their own monopoly that concentrates the harms of every bureaucracy.
yes but the expected value of having a true positive is infinite because it saves your life. so that seems to outweigh the cost of false positive even if that’s more likely

There's definitely some convergence. It's good. It still stands for a fact that most people do/think about PyTorch nowadays, not JAX (speaking as someone who likes JAX).
Absolutely not true. They used to picket the store where I worked because we weren't union. It was so annoying.
In addition to the benefits they list in their opening, it should help reduce heat island effect.
I have a several arguments why contamination is probably not the main reason of performance difference.

When we worked on StarCoder, people ran gpt-4 on MultiPL-E, which doesn't have canonical solutions in the internet, and the performance was higher that what you would expect from official numbers

Official contamination analysis shows only minor drop in performance even though contamination is fairly high (you may argue that contamination is higher now or that rlhf has stronger effect)

There is significant drop in performance when testing on HumanEval+ [1], which shouldn't happen if model has canonical solutions.

BTW why don't you use HumanEval+?

Infrastructure costs: The NIMBY Tax on Britain and America
Funny, but what's the point?

In the UK you get 24 per day for all causes, and 0.8 per day for non natural causes. First off, the specific number you get depends on how your slicing the data. A 30 yo person doesn't have the same chance of dying from "all causes" as an 80 yo one. Second, comparing sports vs all causes is useless because all causes it's not really actionable. I could compare amongst sports to pick the least risky ones, but I can't choose to not be exposed to all causes.

Any thoughts?

"It claims the website improperly acts as a middleman, "inserting itself between American [Airlines] and flight consumers", and promises to deliver savings, but often charges consumers more than if they had booked a ticket directly with the airline or an authorised agent."

Authorised agent? What does that mean? As far as I know, all the flight search engines use the ITA matrix service (https://matrix.itasoftware.com/). Are they saying that's not a legitimate business? My point is, how is skiplagged different than the other search engines other than offering the hidden city ticketing option?
