The Atlantic/American Causal Inference Conference (ACIC) hosts a data challenge every year, I think. Useful to see many different methods compared on simulated data.

Does anyone know similar challenges/competitions?

Not sure what point you are trying to make here. Double ML is a valid approach for debiasing confounding effects.
Can't wait for Hollywood to AI him and bring him back in the movies! But what movie??
I've configured uBlock Origin to block remote fonts and aside from some icon fonts failing to load, it made my browser experience a lot better. Especially after picking a better monospace font for code blocks (IntelOne Mono in my case).
Just as logical as saying "people with outspoken behaviors tend to follow the majoritarian opinion".
Robust competition leads to better products for customers, and better jobs for employees.

The company will do meaningful work, have better pricing, and employees will have more customer focus and less office politics.
I guess that’s because hearing aids is a restricting term and these are more versatile. Furthermore, probably calling them “hearing aid” would lead to costly clinical regulation that they cannot afford as an open-source research device.
I've been using a postcss module that implements the reset property. It's pretty nice.
There’s going to be a “counter-correction”.

They’ve tried this before: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/High-Tech_Employee_Antitrust...

All the major Internet properties are falling to pieces. I’ve encountered more hung GMail loading screens and empty IG story trays (which should be impossible if feed loads at all) in the last week than in the decade starting at 2012.

GPT-4 didn’t go hyperbolic or whatever, the regular Internet needs to keep working after all.

They’ll keep kicking for a few more months, they really want hackers brought to heel, but rates aren’t doubling again and “AI” hasn’t hockeysticked.
Though they never explicitly confirmed, I think some of this of tech was what enabled the dynamic and personalised equalisation adjustment in Nura headphones.
> Could GPT-4V be used for robotic applications?

I have a quote I like in this context, “Could you learn gymnastics just from watching videos?” However intelligent an internet trained model may be, I strongly believe you have to have some interaction with the real world to learn more complicated actions. So far, Pick and place, is all that’s been shown with the bigger models, so my hypothesis seems to be holding for now.
It's a ducking scam, no less. Who the funk posted it and why don't they have an account?
I actually lost weight upon entering college because my campus was so large that my physical activity increased from when I was in high school.
Imagine how many people must have been unjustly accused of not RTFMing because of this bug. Maddening.

It's preposterous that we have to resort to such primitive text search methods just to find the information for command line arguments. We've had hypertext for 3 decades now; why aren't they just listed in a table of contents and then you can follow the links to the detailed descriptions? I always seek out HTML documentation whenever I can; man pages are a last resort.
What explains the pulsing exposure? It seems mechanical in its regularity…
Thanks a lot for this. I'll definitely try to imitate this for my next intern.
Introverts could quietly sabotage vaccination but see no point of doing so. Vaccination narrative does not trigger our alarms.
How's this compare to kagi's universal summarizer?
"And extroverts, to their surprise, were 18 percent more likely to refuse the vaccine."

In the US, lots of surveys have shown a 30-35 point gap between Democrats and Republicans for COVID vaccines, though I'm not sure where those numbers landed in the end. So even though 18 points seems like a pretty big spread, it's ignoring the elephant in the room.
From fasterthanlime's only checked at start of linked article and saw it included some useful info, such as article being old and required rust version, so thought they used tips to do some snarky comments and provide info not belonging to main text but simultaneously important. Reading to end can see they also employ some pseudonarrative (actually a nice name for this style).

Anyway, fucking around with formats isn't only fine but also welcome as want to believe are comments regarding whether said formats succeed in making article more enjoyable to read or not. For me guess you can say kinda enjoy Mara, Cadey, and Numa but not really Aoi.
This is the same Australian eSafety that also recently hit the news for fining X 700k/day for not doing enough to stop “online hate”.

It wound up this way because Youtubers want more money than AdSense and Premium can give them. They earn a lot more from sponsorships than AdSense and Premium.

Are you suggesting that Youtube squeeze out more money per view than it's currently doing? How do you suggest doing this? I guess one way would be to block people from using adblockers...
In Europe, it was nothing like the US.

In the UK, which was nowhere as bad as Spain or Italy, programmers were making £17k/year pre-08 outside London. IT was just a cost base, minimized at all costs, the main job for programmers was academia, most people working in companies were hired out of high school. A job in IT or even a CS degree was career suicide, employment rates were one of the lowest of any degree and if you got a job you were just a cost.

It is hilarious to see the change. Companies that have tried to re-sell themselves as tech companies when ten years ago all their "IT" staff were just working on managed services.

The reason why this is relevant is because most of the change recently has been spillover from the US. If that spillover stops, there are no jobs domestically, you are a mechanic living in a horse-drawn society. The advantage the US has is compounding rapidly.
But it is a valid argument for encouraging distance sales, including most online sales. When customers know they have fraud protection, that helps bring down the anxiety of a purchase a whole lot.

For your local purchases with trusted entities, you can still use cash.

It also goes the other way. Go and try to purchase something from any business on credit when you don't have the money right now. They will always say no, even if you've been shopping there for decades. Visa and MasterCard always say yes.

People love to rail against the CC companies, but if you actually clear your mind and think about it, their payment systems are incredible.
Brave + Tampermonkey + Disable YouTube Video Ads + ThisYoutube = no more adblocker popup

The script itself lists the source code before installing. It's readable enough, since it's just a script.

There does seem to be some instances where the blocker notice still comes up, but a refresh seems to fix it. I didn't bother looking into it.
This will not prevent big money from influencing politicians through various means.

Also a lot of the voter influecing is done through almost invisible campaigns such as the "carbon footprint" or neo-liberal content in tv soaps and the like.
that would be an improvement.
But crucially, probably decoupled in their variability.
Yes. There is research dealing e.g. with ear canal-based authentication. Other earables (Omnibuds by Nokia Bell Labs http://omnibuds.tech/) use the inward-facing microphone to detect the sound of the heartbeat. With this (plus a PPG sensor) they can estimate blood pressure (after calibration).
Exactly. It is time to evolve. Move forward.
Have you heard of the Gervais' principle?
I'm sure this is very confusing to you because you aren't old enough to remember the last time governments mandated big changes in how cars are designed. In the 1960's and 70's governments required seat belts, air bags, unleaded gasoline and catalytic converters, crash testing, collapsible steering wheels, banned metal dashboards. Before that they mandated headlights, tail lights, brake lights, rear view and side mirrors. Four wheel split circuit hydraulic braking.

That was all 40 years ago and before. So you've never seen that happen. I have and I know whats coming. You'll see.
There's also different type of lightgun, that was used in arcade shooters: it flashes whole white frame, and measures exact delay of scanning beam determining arbitrary X-Y position. This doesn't work at all on LCD, but I wonder whether it be done by drawing rainbow frame that encodes pixel position as equation of pixel color values, and using RGB sensor in the gun.
the bloodbath can't start until the last Bear throws in the towel

but don't think this sawtooth market is an improvement, a sideways index + lost time = a very muted bear market

at least a recession would provide buying opportunities...

100% agreed. I have different expectations from an Indian friend vs an American/Canadian friend. That said I make friends very easily and there's certainly a lot of culture sharing going on, which I really enjoy. For instance some of my westerns friends are now used to just showing up at my doorstep before even sending me a text message, now that's what I was used to growing up. I know this is a very silly thing but to me it matters a lot, because I hate the "let's plan charade". Also, I really like that in the western culture there's no unnecessary pressure to do things in group. For instance, I have very specific eating habits and I don't usually eat after 5pm. When I'm invited at a western friend for dinner and I tell them upfront that I won't be eating anything they don't mind, they get it. On the other hand, the Indian friends keep forcing me to try things, it takes them a couple of tries before they realize I won't listen and then they stop doing it. It is really annoying but I always have to face that with any new Indian friend.
There are a ton of significant differences between browsers, especially when it comes to input elements, and around focus.

There are even OS differences between the same browser!

The AM3558 (aka: Beaglebone Black/Green chip) looks like it is barely on the cusp of "doable" in KiCAD, though probably with some significant effort. Its an older chip but the fact that its ready to be laid out by an advanced hobbyist is very intriguing to me.

That being said: the latest chips from TI have significant improvements. PRUs always were wonky programs that were hard to grok. The more recent AM625 keeps the PRU for backwards compatibility (and buffs it up a bit), but IMO the on-board 400 MHz realtime Cortex-M4F is the more "obvious" realtime processor to use. Quad-Core Cortex-A53 should be plenty for most hobbyists as well.

Upgrading to DDR4 / LPDDR4 means tighter tolerances however, and the 441-pin (aka: 21x21 pins) AM625 probably needs 8-layers and maybe blind vias... while the older AM3558 (Beaglebone Black) can use DDR2 with much looser tolerances and only has 324 pins (aka 18x18). So 6-layers seems possible to me, maybe with a few pins disconnected.
As someone that works in media/advertising, the first thing I check when I see something like this is their ads.txt [1] -- It looks like they're managed by ezoic whom you forward your entire dns and they inject ads in the middle (AI is mentioned, naturally).

You are using Mastercard's payment network whenever you pay for something. They see and record all your transactions. Mastercard is the entity informing your bank to pay the merchant's bank.
Millions of rows with a JSON column? Yes, indeed I have. Recently in fact. When all normalized fields are populated, you're absolutely right. However that wasn't our dataset. We had entries with sparse keys. This was due to the nature of the data we were ingesting.

We ended with multiple partial expression indexes on the JSON column due to the flexibility it provided. Each index ended up relatively small (again, sparse keys), didn't require a boatload of null values in our tables, was more flexible as new data came in from a client with "loose" data, didn't require us to make schema migrations every time the "loose" data popped in, and we got the job done.

In another case, a single GIN index made jsonpath queries trivially easy, again with loose data.

I would have loved to have normalized, strict data to work with. In the real world, things can get loose without fault to my team or even the client. The real world is messy. We try to assert order upon it, but sometimes that just isn't possible with a deadline. JSON makes "loose" data possible without losing excessive amounts of development time.

And there will never be any meaningful consequences leveled against those people, empowering bad actors far beyond any meaningful social sanction they could ever have generated by themselves.

Making sure concern trolls and the hysterical can't fuck up a working community is something poorer societies (SE Asia, Continental Europe) inherently do better than richer ones (UK, US), mainly because the former simply can't afford to indulge it.
India were going to eventually cover itself with railroads and monoculture plantations in any case (who didn't?), so I don't see why we cannot argue in good faith whether the British arrival was beneficial or deleterious. It would require scientific rigor instead of either one of nationalisms, though.
No, it's not a downvote, it literally just hides the story and comments.

Dang added it a while ago. It was supposed to help quell some of the rancor around here, and complaints about certain stories not being "HN worthy," etc. But this place is also subject to heavy feature-blindness so maybe not a lot of people noticed it.
In Portland they recently started cutting trees down to widen the road for extended bus and bike lanes. That spawned a conversation that we've lost a third of our tree cover due to various things and the city hasn't kept up. That week I started burying cones from my Douglas Firs, which aren't nearly as big as the Mountain Ashes you planted, but are fairly large. With any luck I'll have five in my yard.
I think you have significantly misunderstood things. Paul Graham comparing it to communism is an example of a business person attacking remote work using one of the standard boogeymen.

A cash transaction is between 2 parties. A debit card transaction is between 5: consumer, consumer's bank, merchant, merchant's bank, payment network/card provider.

Besides this being ridiculous, I can't make sense of what "balance the prejudice" means. I'm not seeing evidence of prejudice against trees here, nor do I know what that would mean. Someone prejudged that the tree was up to no good and murdered it?

This is almost definitely vandalism, and likely has nothing to do with the conflict between modernity and nature, or with SUVs. The crime wasn't committed by Chevy or Ford, or by an SUV of theirs.
High incomes in tech were a symptom of the money printing that was supposed to keep the economy afloat largely never reaching past the ranks of the alumnae of certain colleges and universities. They exploded from the liquidity surplus that, in a more sane world*, would have gone towards lifting, say, service and retail wages (which instead languished for the better part of a decade). Six-figure SWE salaries have less to do with expertise than QE.

*One where restrictions on advertising and data collection/sales kept software as a pay-to-play enterprise, necessitating higher wages among those who would be users.
I still miss the old dashboard view so badly. It was awesome having multiple calculators and sticky notes one button press away without cluttering my desktop. They really botched it by letting it rot and not integrating it with the App Store.

The latest implementation with the desktop is... okay, but unnecessarily messy imo — I'm unclear why they can't do both kinds of views on macOS (On the desktop + full screen view like the classic dashboard), akin to a dedicated view on the left side of the Home Screen + Home Screen widgets on iOS.

Musicians write for other musicians. Coders use the best data structure to solve a problem not for the users but for another coder to appreciate. You weigh praise on the merits of the judge to do the judgement. People in the end listen to the music musicians listen to, even if this is with a lag. I am not a musician but I appreciate a musician’s depth of understanding for something I superficially let stroke my ears.

"The idyllic tableau of peace and genteel elegance was the image he [Twain] wanted seen and remembered. The carefully cultivated projection of a happy family, an elderly father with his patrician daughters (both looking well and pretty), was an opportunity for the media-savvy Twain to recapture some of the credibility he must have felt he had lost in his battle with Isabel and Ashcroft."

Dam removal is practiced across the world to bring rivers back to life. This happens in England as well. It prevents the accumulation of agricultural runoff, and increases fish habitat. This is an environmental project that benefits everyone except the few people who had "lakeside" property on the artificial dam reservoir.
