it does not work as well.

I have this deep seated fear that NNs will be the death of the lessons learned from 1970-2010. After all, if you can use massive amounts of compute to materialize what seems to be a good enough function approximator, why do advanced algorithms at all?

Obviously the reason we should is that approximators like the NNs have explainability issues and corner case unpredictability issues plus they are bad at real world complexity (which is why self driving efforts continue to struggle even when exposed to a narrow subset of the real world).
>Because the census relies entirely on self-reporting, experts say the data could also be capturing a shift in how people perceive their cognition, even absent changes to their health.

>People with disabilities might have taken note of rising disability acceptance and become more likely to answer the census questions honestly, researchers say.

>But those changes in perception are likely to have a relatively small influence on the numbers, said Monika Mitra, who directs the Lurie Institute for Disability Policy at Brandeis University. Most of the increase is probably capturing real changes in people’s health, she said.

In conclusion, experts and researchers say one thing, Monika Mitra says the opposite, so we really don't know.
Compensation is compensation. Stock has value even if that value is constantly changing. If they disagree, I'd happily take their worthless millions of Unity stock off their hands for them.

The point is how does an executive team who together makes on the order of $100M/yr justify its own compensation if the company is losing on the order of $100M/yr?

30 may not seem much until you compare it to the alternatives. You have two constraints on an aircraft: weight and volume.

A 105mm shell is around $8k/piece, and weighs 15kg, travels at 494m/s. Current configuration can fit 30 of these in an aircraft on a rack, inside the aircraft.

A air-to-ground missile with similar range and speed is the AGM-114. They cost $115k/piece, weigh 45kg, and travel at 445m/s. These must be externally mounted at this time and you could probably carry 8-16 on pylons.

Some variants of the AC-130 carry the AGM-176 which is similar range. These similar price around $115k, weigh 20kg, but I couldn't find their max speed. Given is size and weight, you're also looking at 8-16 between internal and external.

A "slow" "cheap" standoff weapon like the GBU-39/B SDB weight 129kg, costs $40k, travels at a whopping 22m/s. Right now these are externally mounted but the idea is these could be launched off the ramp of an AC-130 variant. You would realistically be able to carry 8 on pylons, not many in cargo space.

AFAIK, USA doesn't really have a fast and cheap standoff a2g weapon.

So yes, 30 is quite a lot of bangs, especially for the bucks. I don't think what is driving this conversation IS bangs however.

I actually think what is driving the conversation about the 105mm is CEP. I couldn't find exact numbers for 105mm, but I'd guess probably it's in the area of 10m-30m which is good enough to hit a building or an enemy position by a road, but really isn't good to support or disrupt an ambush. Both the AGM-114 and AGM-176 have CEPs under 2m (variant depending, but sticking to AC-130 weapons) and the GBU-39/b has a CEP of 1m. The CEP for a 105mm widens at distance, whereas the CEP for rocket powered weapons is fixed no matter the range to target.

I think it is still fair to point out that it is a thought experiment on how to extract as much value in the form of taxes.

It makes sense only if you see taxes as a positive good, ignore the concept of ownership, and are pretty loose with the human suffering implications.

> The shadow mask is overly represented.

Is it? When I look up "CRT macro lens" on Google Images [1] the shadow mask is extremely pronounced -- possibly even more than here.

I've just tried looking at the screenshots on both a Retina and non-Retina display, and they seem pretty faithful to what I remember growing up. I'm really quite impressed.

Also -- what do you mean by "more vibrant colors"? If you mean (presumably) greater color saturation = wider color gamut, I can't find any source supporting the idea that CRT's had a wider gamut than modern IPS panels -- to the contrary, IPS seems to be at least as good if not better (although early LCD displays weren't). And P3 IPS displays like Apple's certainly blow CRT color gamuts out of the water.

All DDR5 has ECC built into the modules for it to reach parity DDR4.

ECC memory modules are better because they can fix and report errors, the base DDR5 DIMM will hand you a piece of memory with multi-bit corruptions that it couldn't fix. The ECC DIMM will fix larger errors and tell you about each detected corruption.

But there are ECC DIMMs with even better ECC. DDR5 moved the DIMMs from one 64-bit channel to two 32-bit channels. ECC DDR4 you'd protect 8 memory dies with 1 memory die holding the ECC, your computer will identify it as 72-bit memory. ECC DDR5 you protect the 4 memory dies in the half channel with a dedicated 5th die on each channel. Some ECC DDR5 will have 80-bit ECC, some will have 72-bit ECC. You want the 80-bit ECC because it stores 8 more bits of ECC for your memory controller to correct errors.

Micron isn't known for making 80-bit DIMMs.

Empathy is the word of the times so it gets used where it's wholly inappropriate.

good faith just means you assume the person is earnest in trying to make the project you're on successful. Part of that is understanding that people say stupid shit, but the other part is trust.

One of the reasons my current employer is so sticky is that it's a billion dollar company and I've only met 2 people whom I won't accept in good faith, everyone else is earnest even when they disagree with you.
Presumably there’s plenty of prior art, maths has been around for quite a while now ;)
Absolutely. But we've had developers who, even with extensive coaching, eventually ended up proposing PRs with the issues above.

Equally, we had reviewers, who, with extensive coaching, (and I see this a lot with contractor teams), allow PRs like this.

I work at a company where I have to speak up. It is ingrained in the way we work.

However, with contractor teams that way of working does not always translate well. They don't necessarily 'dare' to speak up on PRs of their own colleagues.

It's a weird dynamic.
Show HN: ePub_to_audiobook – Now with OpenAI TTS for Natural Voices
Released v0.4.0 of epub_to_audiobook with OpenAI's TTS for a more natural listening experience. Aimed at enhancing your reading sessions. Curious to know what you think about the voice quality.

Let me respond fully to your comment. Full disclosure: remote for 8y, on the same and different tz. in office for 5y,

The espresso makes most people more productive. Absolutely.

If not the espresso, some other thing one might enjoy degusting daily.

For the espresso case. Your office is likely too far for one sitting at his desk to suddenly head over 20 mins a few blocks away to appreciate a delicious sip for 5 minutes. What if on Thursday what I really need is a delicous espresso but in total peace with nobody interrupting that moment between me and my cup?

Maybe I'm going too far with what espresso might mean to people but
Your office shaping the way I want to live my life without a doubt is going way too far.

It makes me far less productive to have to adapt my life to the office schedule, location, and the many uncontrollable distractions taking place throughout the day.

It's on me to make my work environment most productive and if I'm unable to do that then just fire me.

You will likely object, so let me introduce to you, Bud, the pug. See Bud needs to go out for a walk even more than I do. I love my dog so I take him out 4 times each day.

It makes me less productive to have to run at 5pm everyday to take the dog out the least late I possibly can. I have to stop whatever I'm doing and get back into the zone.

It also makes me less productive to go home at 5 o'clock.
See, I don't have much respect for people requiring butts on seats to appease their own insecurities. You can be damn sure that I won't give them a minute of my time unless I have to.

Also, I'm best to do work from morning to midnight in bursts. I gladly do extra hours that way, because: productivity.

I could go on and on, air is to dry as office buildings would not consider people's health unless illegal if they can save a few hundred bucks on the monthly energy bill. Lights are too blue/white/cold they hurt my eyes after a couple of hours.

All that being said, it depends on the job, for most jobs my arguments would stand the productivity tests with everyone once they've adapted to remote settings. Wouldn't apply to members of a music band, circus jugglers working in duo, dolphin trainers, nor salsa dancers. People who do these jobs are more productive on site, and the reason they never complain like me and my kind do is simple: they don't actually work in an office.
Trespassing is ignoring (sufficient) signs posted saying no trespassing, or refusing to leave when a person authorised to demand you leave asks it.

If they have the means and the opportunity, people should try an isolation retreat e.g. go camping in nature with a friend (or solo is personally preferable) for 2-3 days and only power on your cell phone for emergencies. As always, research and take preparations like telling people where you are going and went to expect you back if you're going into the wilderness. It only takes about 30 steps off the marked path to potentially get lost (forever).

People so vastly underestimate the role of their attention-seeking, cognition-theiving phones in their ability to think clearly. I would hazard a guess that most people increased their phone addiction (and psychological importance placed on their phones) during COVID.

However, it's well-known and confirmed that long-covid does cause brain fog. Plus all the other viruses that people got when they started mingling again after the entire population was inside allowing their immune systems to be mostly dormant... Long-covid really kick-started the research into long-virus issues.
Yeah, and backup systems can become corrupted too. I'm still going to be manually backing up sensitive files when I make changes to them. Most of my data isn't worth backing up. Going with RAID1 just means I won't have as much trouble with a drive failure, which seems to be more common than a controller failure, and which seems to be imminent on my one system right now. I guess I could just go with a backup system without RAID, but I don't see much difference between risk of the backup system failing vs the RAID controller failing, nor much difference between the backup vs a RAID1.
The issue here is that these people aren't providing value. Further, engaging with them as serious and sincere costs in time and energy. That's expensive when there's no payoff. From my own experiences, beg bounties reliably do not have findings of a useful quality and the begging approach is a very strong signal that the juice will not be worth the squeeze.

The piece is gatekeeping in the same way the spam filters we all use are gatekeeping. There's always stuff we want to keep on the far side of our filters. Beg bounties are among them for many.
Well stated opinion; but not everybody thinks like the author does, nor should they.

People so often miss that the continued presence of diverse tools to achieve the same ends means that there's reason for it. In this kind of case, it's because the minds on the other ends of the tools are varying wildly and different types need a different "grip" on the problem of debugging.

A natural extension of the Shot Spotter system would be to dispatch a small drone to go collect evidence immediately. I’ve actually witnessed a drive by shooting in New York.

Is this an either/or dichotomy? Perhaps both avenues are being pursued, but have different cost and timeframe tradeoffs.
You don't necessarily declare the value at what you are actually willing to sell at. It's more like you declare it at the minimum value that nobody else is willing to buy at. If anything like this were actually implemented (which seems wildly unlikely for many, many reasons) the owner would have the option to update the declared value if they don't actually want to sell at the previous declared value.

So say you wouldn't sell your house for less than 500k but similar houses in your area are only selling for 350k. You would probably declare the value at $350k to minimize your taxes. If someone comes along and offers you $400k then you can either:

1. Sell to them, which you won't because 400 < 500

2. Update the declared value to 400k (and payer a higher tax)
Would be hilarious if the authorities in Kaliningrad exerted no time and effort to prepare for such an eventuality.
What I don’t get is why you would want to spend half of your waking hours, even remotely, working with people on a team whose company you don’t enjoy? The conclusion I would draw is that I’m on the wrong team or at the wrong company, and then switch as quickly as possible.

Not so; there's an absolutely vast amount of freely available undergraduate mathematics resources available at all levels. Honestly, so much that it makes it confusing to choose and not get distracted by the options -- perhaps AI-mediated distillation could be helpful in the future.

A popular implicit assumption, probably because nobody really though about it, is that economics models often include perfect cooperation. If it takes multiple people to get to an optimal outcome, they will all cooperate and never do any infighting. Economists use reverse causality and argue that non-cooperative behavior doesn't exist. You know, in exactly the same way racism/sexism was sometimes considered irrational by some economists.

Same experience here. See my reply to the sibling comment.
Well the breaking it down to the base level itself is part of what makes it objectionable, as well as the removal from context. Obviously I wouldn't say that if it were as distilled to what you paraphrased. I imagine the mode of what is permissible is slightly different in anonymous forum threads vs. real life. Even if it wasn't and I crossed the line a lot of people agreed with me, though maybe on net and only despite the first line of my comment.

> when buying a gift for someone it is probably good to consider and value the agency and right to an opinion of the receiver.

Which was obviously considered in the situation. But buying any gift of course is not a 50:50 affair. One person is spending all the money. By principle I think that person should have more finality in the decision than the person only receiving the gift.
Sure, but it feels like we're missing the forest for the trees. The big class distinction is owning assets for a living instead of working for a living.

If you plug in a more precise definition of "assets" and "living" you can turn this into a net worth threshold, but the number itself is far less interesting than what happens to incentives and strategies as you go from working to owning. They completely change. Night and day. Noble and peasant.

This isn't a "capitalism is feudalism in disguise" rant -- it's great that the nobility don't own the monopoly on violence anymore and that's enormous progress, but the "rich people get paid for being rich" bit stuck with us and isn't going away any time soon.

The licensing model as originally announced had three problems:

1. The fees were to be retroactively applied even to games that were already released and may have ended development. That alone would have been a dealbreaker for trust, but...

2. Unity was incorporating a price-per-sale fee model when its original sales pitch was all about how it was never going to go to such a model.

3. The changes were interpreted in the greediest way possible. It's not price-per-sale, it's price-per-install (so if I buy it once and install it on all three of my computers, it's 3 times the price to the developer), etc. And when the inevitable backlash of "are you really this colossally stupid?" came back, the company doubled and tripled down on it.

After the immense backlash, Unity did eventually backtrack to a more reasonable and typical price-per-sale model, but not without colossal and perhaps fatal damage to their reputation.

Show HN: Vectorize OpenAI API calls (like NumPy)
Outlines is a Python library that focuses on text generation with large language models. While the library mainly focuses on open source models we have an integration with the OpenAI API.
When trying to implement Tree of Thoughts we became frustrated with the iterative workflow in which other libraries forced us. What we wanted was to be able to pass an array of prompts or completions with arbitrary shape, ask for several samples, and get an array of completions back.

So we implemented a vectorization routine inspired by NumPy's. This makes our OpenAI integration have the "broadcast" behavior described above. All call are performed concurrently.
