Well this is why I stipulated only crossing busy main roads, and going to local, quiet strip malls, and otherwise being on side roads.

This added context to my statements about local, and neighbourhood, and all kids get directions such as "but don't do that!!", it's part of life as a kid. And frankly, an adult, though it be self prescribed.

Naturally each situation is different, but busy rodes have traffic lights, otherwise you might tell the youngster "never cross that road".

And that still leaves loads of low risk areas, which ypu yourself admit is viewed as local.

I see a lot of either/or in some topics, and local non-car travel seems to be a big one. People want to rail on about fewer cars, it's not safe, more bike paths needed etc etc. And I find that any conversation revolving around it being safe ... anywhere to bike, elicits these sort of absolutist responses.

"It's just not safe!!!!"

But the reality is, it is safe... just with conditionals, which I mentioned, and with instructions to child, and of course taking into account the specific child too.

And this is how to avoid helicopter parenting. You don't use a cell phone tracker, to make sure they obeyed, you don't follow them around, you give restrictions and work with that.
I don't get your comment, to be quite honest.
Besides, I don't like 3rd party A.I. services: the content that you see, is the content that I wrote.
And this comment of yours seems more of something to offend than to contribute.
I feel bad for you.
Fairly relatable other than the fact that I wouldn’t consider myself an extrovert. I’m mostly WFH. Late 20s, single, don’t really have strong connections locally. Moved to SF a few years (COVID times…) which is a terrible time to move to a new place where you don’t know anybody. Have struggled to be outgoing since and have found it very hard to make connections. Granted I should be trying harder.

What’s worse is that the few friend connections I have from earlier in life back home are all getting busier with their own lives/partners so it’s not like I get to see them often anyway. That’s been a hard hitting realization.

Going to the office for a short while before COVID hit was really beneficial in retrospect since you meet a lot of people that way. Especially when you’re younger.

As you said it seems like most people hang out at bars and such but I have no idea how to cold approach random people and talk them up. At this point I’m probably going to try apps like Meetup, Bumble BFF, FB Groups to make some friends.

If anyone’s got suggestions I’m down to hear them.
If I occasionally get a DDoS from Tor, I'll probably just block Tor all the time, even if my current traffic loads from Tor are low. It's simply not worth the hassle of waiting until my servers start getting spammed, it's better to just keep the door shut all the time.

The reason they won't buy a new EV is the same reason they won't buy a new PHEV.
> How to know if model 1 or model 2 is more "real" or, for lack of a better term, more useful and reflective of reality?

You don't. Given observational data alone, it's typically only possible to determine which d-separation equivalence class you're in. Identifying the exact causal structure requires intervening experimentally.

> There should be some way to determine a model's likelihood of structure

Why? If the information isn't there, it isn't there. No technique can change that.
I was looking at RS3 vs Tesla. Under 100mph, a performance model 3 destroys an RS3 in every metric (except how long it takes to refuel). Just FYI. I rented one for a week and I’m now just waiting until the new highland model comes out.
This is suspected to be the reason why GM shitcanned their EV project back in the 90s. EVs have less routine maintenance.

I also harbor a further conspiracy theory that Tesla specifically adopted serialized everything so that they could substitute lower service revenue with "just go buy a new one". Every other automaker getting into EVs has similarly locked down their cars.

Look up local D&D groups (there's a reason it's only gotten more popular, also fun as hell with adequately decent people), or some kind of other hobby/activity group that provides the necessary pretext for complete strangers to meet without it being "weird". You can look up lists of hobbies, and just see if there's some group around.

Dance lessons, communal gardening, gym/"rock" climbing (specifically, joining an “accountability group”), and even some intermittent volunteer activities (thought you want to be cautious of that one, as you are there for meeting people, not for something to do or be feel guilted into long term) are also some other things that are a possibility.
Agreed

However, you can absolutely run that many users on a Postgres cluster of that size today on modern hardware. Connections are absolutely a sore point and probably my number one pain point as a Postgres admin day to day. Pg bouncer is incredibly easy to run though. You rarely actually need 70,000 connections most will be idle most of the time anyway it’s not like MySQL can actually serve 70,000 queries on 70,000 connections simultaneously. But it certainly makes administration and the programming model more difficult.
Ah, what you want to say is you only care for the fast death of coral reefs and don't care for things that ensure its death but will take maybe a decade or two?

pH does not fluctuate much, true, but it drops steadily which is just as deadly to coral.

I think younger people have a much broader definition of "mental health". Somebody 50+ might say "mental health, like a mental hospital? no thanks", somebody in Gen Z might say "fr fr i always talk about how stressful school is with my homies".

> "Disagree (or there's nuance needed here) but declining to engage."

Unfortunately this is still engaging, and many people I've encountered online will not let things go after this. It's why people instead use downvotes for disagreement, I think. It lets them take a disagreeing action, but without anyone being able to single them out and rage at them all day for it (which is unfortunately common on social media)

I often find that if I disagree with someone and then don't want to engage further, I have to mute or block them entirely so they don't shit up my notifications for hours, each one a small little temptation to go re-engage.
Especially when AWS, Azure, and GCP all have managed sql offerings.
> So I am going somewhere else where people haven't lost touch with reality like they have here.

What kind of place is that? I've been to many places around the world and around North America and they're all functionally similar, if zooming out.
Nvidia's model is roughly people sat in a meeting room with a big screen showing a bunch of people at home or in other meeting rooms. I think some people are office based, some hybrid, some wholly remote. They put up some solid engineering on that basis.

AMD engineering is much the same, in case someone reading this is thinking GPUs+remote sounds great, but they want to work on open source instead of proprietary toolchains.
This is nice, although I know very little Italian so I only listened to a couple of them. The only thing I could think to improve is a way of jumping from the text to the audio at that point, as after I'd listened through I wanted to hear a couple of lines again after reading the notes and had to just guess how far along it was.
All of those agencies have larger budgets and more power than they did 50 years ago.
Whenever I’ve profiled compile times, parsing accounts for relatively little of the time, while the vast majority of the time is spent in the optimizer.

So at least for my projects it’s a modest (maybe 10-20%) speed up, not the order of magnitude speed up I was hoping for.

Thus C++ compile times will remain abysmal.
I would like credit card fees to be prominently displayed on POS at checkout with the option to opt out by using debit be very obvious. Perhaps two prices, one Total with Cash/Debit and another Total with Credit. It’s kind of the opposite situation of the OP in that it’s priced in everywhere in the total advertised price so it’s not fraud in the same way, but it’s still an issue that’s related but tangential
Amateur-hour. If you were really serious, you wouldn't even know how to read.
They offset that much co2 each year. It’s not a one time thing. Over the average tree’s lifetime, it will store 25-45 kg of co2 per year. So it’s not just a single year of co2. It would be decades to hundreds of years. Throw in renewables, fusion, nuclear, electric cars, co2 sequestration machines, etc, and it’s definitely a game changer.
So does a statue, just not as much.

Plenty of things vary by location. Rent and wage have a bigger impact than sales tax on the final price in a supermarket. Yet they are able to coordinate sales prices even when the rent varies a lot, because anyway those are loss leaders and then the rest of items get the proper markup and differentiated prices depending on the location. Just like you have items in the RU with the same promotion prices in countries with 15% VAT and countries with 25% VAT, usually because you want the nice rounding at, say, 399.
In general, you can't, and most of reality isnt knowable. That's a problem with reality, and us.

I'd take a bayesian approach across an ensemble of models based on the risk of each being right/wrong.

Consider whether Drug A causes or cures cancer. If there's some circumstantial evidence of it causing cancer at rate X in population Y with risk factors Z -- and otherwise broad circumstial evidence of it curing at rate A in pop B with features C...

then what? Then create various scenarios under these (likely contradictory) assumptions. Formulate an appropriate risk. Derive some implied policies.

This is the reality of how almost all actual decisions are made in life, and necessarily so.

The real danger is when ML is used to replace that, and you end up with extremely fragile systems that automate actions of unknown risk -- on the basis they were "99.99%", "accurate", ie., considered uncontrolled experimental condition E1 and not E2...10_0000 which actually occur
To generalise a bit, extroverts consider practically anyone they talk to frequently a close friend. Introverts require a much deeper connection. I doubt there are many introverts with 5+ close friends whereas many extroverts have them.
this. Yes the physics of weight is ridiculously straight forward. Its first law of thermo (calories in = calories out).
The biology is incredibly complex and that's before we get to the pyschological, to the point of making CICO too overly simplistic to describe actual practical reality. The body is not some perfect energy converting mechanical machine.

People also forget "metabolism doesn't change with age" narrative is a based on a paper that used population-wide statistical model. That approach measures "average treatment effect" and is directionally useful in general but incredibly unhelpful in addressing individual differences and nuances. Something is true on average does not mean it is true "for every" or even "for any"
> The Japanese company, however, said it will phase out the Leaf in the next few years and replace it with a new vehicle by 2026.

There is though. You run two linear models you get numbers back that inform how well these different models are fitting to the data.
> You're not just paying Youtube/Google for the ad, you're paying the content creators as well.

That would only be true if Youtube proportionally split my subscription to the videos i watch.

If anything, i'm advocating for exactly what you said - more than Youtube is. Ie show me how much i owe, and then whatever money i give youtube goes to content creators and the service provider. It's proportional to the service i consume, and is ultimately fair.

Instead what we get is something (in my view) massively upcharged. Bundled with service(s) i don't use, and set at a price point that i suspect well exceeds my usage of the service.
> They do not care about you and never will.

I agree and I know. Thank you fro an honesty many more people need to hear.
This is a big part of it, but I don't buy that the problem is disinformation - from the couple of times I have seen it Twitters community notes works pretty well for that.

And we need to be better at ignoring things, sure.

But my theory is that the real problem isn't that people don't know to evaluate something for truth, it is that they are not interested in truth in the first place - they are interested in things that reinforce their believes. It is not something new, and it is something we are all going to fall for from time to time, but I don't think most people care about truth for the most part.

I imagine that there would be less of a chance of you learning Vim and sticking with something more common like VSCode. And if VSCode meets your needs, then it doesn’t seem like a problem that needs a solution.

FWIW, I’m saying this as an enthusiastic Vim user. But I’d be able to do what I need to with VSCode just the same.
The module system doesn’t have side effects on inclusion, whereas headers do.

So again, maybe if you have a smaller, cleaner or dependency free codebase, then it’s not an issue.

But in any codebase of major scale or legacy, headers can introduce several issues that aren’t possible with the module interface.
Of course, that monitoring would be prohibited under EU GDPR.
I told my kids this in elementary school and they were surprised.

EVs should be understood in the context of home charging. Just how many people are commuting more than 150 miles (Leaf), 250 miles (Bolt), or 330 miles (Model 3) every day? They’d be putting 35-70k miles on their vehicle each year. That’s an entire lease, sometimes an entire vehicle lifetime. That’s not typical.

I think there’s a good argument that you still want one ICE car in the household for the annual national park trip or drive 15 hours to grandma’s house or whatever, but for the others electric is very compelling.
I realize this is nitpicking a minor point in your comment, but I don't agree with your characterization of RCTs in medical research as being primarily constrained by laws and regulations. Any time I've discussed research on human subjects with doctors doing that research, the discussion of what is and is not an acceptable experiment has always been primarily driven by the risks of harm to the people involved in the study. Any time the law comes up, it's usually because the law requires an RCT in a specific setting, as opposed to preventing it (e.g. drug trials). (Of course in the setting of starting a company based on some medical product, the situation may be quite different.)

Biologists, if not data scientists, are used to considering indirect evidence for causality. It's why we sometimes accept studies performed in other organisms as evidence for biology in humans; it's why we sometimes accept research performed on post-mortem human tissue as being representative of the biology of living humans; to name but a few examples. A big part of a compelling high-impact biology (or bioinformatics) paper is often the innovative ways that one comes up to show causality when a direct RCT is not feasible, and papers are frequently rejected because they don't to the follow-up experiments required to show causality.

I'm sorry, but you're wrong...

In Postgresql, the default ISOLATION LEVEL is "READ COMMITTED", which by standard, allows "NON-REPEATABLE READ" phenomena.

When Transaction on the LEFT is COMMITTED (adding 100 to balance), the Transaction on the RIGHT will add 400 to a balance of 1100, and not to a balance of 1000 (reading NON-REPEATED value).

You can do better than leaving this kind of comment that does not contribute in anything.

Have good weekend.
While MySQL being able to scale is nice and all, it's had serious problems with even keeping basic data integrity for the data people hand it... for decades.
These are hilarious. I especially enjoyed 'astral projection'

IIRC the main point of header files was to make compilation 1 pass instead of 2. I.e. when the compiler is processing a function and sees `int a = foo(bar, baz);` how does it know what code to generate here? How do you call foo (i.e. what calling convention does foo have)? Furthermore, how do you know if the code is valid? Do the passed arguments match the declared arguments? What if there is function overloading? How does it know which actual function to call? A lot of other compilers will do two-passes where they scan the code once to compile all of that information, and then do it a second time to then actually write the code out. The optimization for c/c++ was to "cache" the declarations separately in a header file, so that you dont need to parse/scan twice.
This is also a mathematical tool you can use every time you're making maths. If you have two bijective set, and you have some functions in only one of those sets, you first transform the set with the bijective function, operate in the second set, retransform back with the reverse of the bijective function, given X and Y spaces g(X)=f_to_g( f( Y = g_to_f( X ) ) )

For example you can have operations in a normalized space. You first normalize your data, operate in it, then rescale your result back to the original space. For example you want to apply square root to a normalized variable (if you don't normalize, you don't know if the function will increase or decrease your variable, between 0 and 1 square root always increases the value). If you know your max is N, you should no N.sqrt(X/N). This might seem obvious to you ? But what if you had f(x)=cos(pi.x^3.5) instead of f=sqrt.. ? Also, operating in a normalized space you can chain your functions. Yeah, just like chaining functions in functional programming. (Using dot . to multiply because of HN formatting)

You know how to do an arithmetic mean / average in maths ? Well, if you chain that with a change of space with the power functions, you'll get all others means (minimum, maximum, harmonic mean, quadratic, even the geometric mean using exp and log !). Now if you prove something in your normal arithmetic mean, you might be able to apply this easily in your new mean that you created by chaining a bijective change of space. See Generalized mean https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Generalized_mean

In physics you can remove the units and work only with dimensionless quantities https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_dimensionless_quantiti... and operate with them and only get back to real physics units when you need to "get back to the real world"

In color theory, you might want to rotate the hue ? Create a bijection between RGB and a new colorspace that has hue like HSL or HSV (or more complex if you're ready to fight with more maths), RotateHueRGB(colorRGB,hue)=HSVtoRGB( RGBtoHSV( colorRGB ) + (hue,0,0) )

I could go on an on for weeks about this technique. It is fundamental to me to learning and understanding Science, no idea why so few people are talking about this.

I didn't learn this thanks to him so I can't 100% confirm the information I didn't read the book yet, but I remember some french maths popularizer / youtuber who called that "The Umbrella Principle" and wrote a book about it ("Le théorème du parapluie" Mickaël Launay - Micmaths channel on YouTube https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC4PasDd25MXqlXBogBw9CAg ). Umbrella because you're getting your umbrella out (first layer of the bread), walk under the rain without getting wet (the meat), then close your umbrella (final layer of bread).

Enjoy ! Let me know what others applications you find ;)
The base model 3 is $38k with a $7500 tax credit, so $31k. An equivalent sized ICE will set you back at least $20k, if you can find a base model, and that won’t have the performance or capacity of the Tesla.
What justification is there for not implementing this across all browsers?
What do you think happens when everyone can transmit packets an order of magnitude faster, even if they're not transmitting at the line rate of the link? Average channel utilization drops precipitously and the transmit rates improve in aggregate for everyone.
