Simulating how replicate trial count impacts Cohen's d effect size
I just have a Google Doc with all of the stuff in there:

- utilities and where they're paid and expected cost

- issues if any with common appliances, e.g.

- dishwasher occasionally needs to be manually spun with size 7 hex key (placed under)

- who I've given keys to

- where I pay rent to and when and how much

- how to request access to the home lights and voice system

I just call it a House Manual and since it's easy to put pictures and stuff into a Google Doc and you can put videos somewhere else. The primary consumer of this is me. My wife just remembers everything.
This is just a side effect of the Israel lobby pushing for strong alignment between the US and Israel. The lobby pushes for alignment and dollars and military cooperation follows. You can mixing up cause and effect.

For example AIPAC is pledging $100m to target in primaries progressive democrats who have not supported Israel recently. That is a hell of a lot of money: https://www.bostonherald.com/2023/11/17/powerful-pro-israel-...
Ouch.

The demo is really compelling. Using GKE or k8s sounds like a good idea for hosting LLMs, making them perform better and less costly overall. Not bad at all.
Let's say for example that you are born to a family that has lived in a certain land for generations, and then the country that now rules over it does not acknowledge you as a citizen. Some terrorists take up residence in your building, and so your new country destroys it without taking sufficient precaution not to hurt civilians.

Everytime I read about Israel's response, I wonder how the military might have proceeded differently if it was in developed Israeli cities that Hamas were hiding instead.
One of the many reasons I'd never live there. I'll stick to places with better labour laws thanks.
There is no such thing as "scientific method". Only school boy conception of science espouses such a view that there is a scientific method. What we have are a set of heuristics learned from the history of natural sciences. These heuristics function as guard rails: for instance, a theory that is postulated to explain already-collected facts is ad hoc; a theory should solve new problems; a theory should solve predict novel 'facts'; do not increase theoretical entities unnecessarily; do not try to explain away by postulating various sub-entities; do not confuse a description with a phenomenon; save the phenomena; etc.

When you or I drive/walk, what do we experience: flat earth, of course. In other words, both flat-earthers and spherical-earthers experience the same. Further, flat-earthers reason that if the earth were to be round, one would fall off of the surface of the earth on a sea/land travel. Since such an incident never occured, flat-earthers reason that the earth can't be spherical. Flat-earthers reasoning is not spurious, they are entirely reasonable.

How to help them, you have to make them pilots and fly at 50000 feet, and they can experience the sphericalness of the earth directly. In other words, you can't transfer knowledge via authority. That's why there are disputes about what sciences are? Are sciences reduced to a set of theories, or just experiments, both theories and experiments? What happens when one theory gets supplanted by another, better theory? These are deeper questions about knowledge.

When I am sick, I trust some or doctor about his knowledge to diagnose. In some cases, even patients start doing research on their own (you can find many stories on this forum) to figure out when the doctors are not helpful. No one creates chaos, if one is genuinely seek knowledge. Instead of seeking knowledge, one seeks fame, followers, etc. Or as the other commenter said 'when so much energy is spent trying to undermine one's opponent'. That's a different story.

We have to be careful about psuedo-winning against those who create chaos. Here is an interesting piece by Late Prof. Larry Laudan: "Science at the Bar--Causes for Concern" [1], originally appeared in Science, Technology, and Human Values 7 (41):16-19 (1982)

I mean, GitHub is still by far the most open source friendly repository hosting service by orders of magnitude. I wish we have code search back for anonymous GitHub use as well, but the simple fact is there isn't another service that comes close to providing free service to open source software. Now, I know that GitHub built its reputation on hosting open source software so it's probably not fair to compare other services like BitBucket or GitLab to it, but I'm not sure what people are thinking they can divest to.
The concept is spot on but the implementation seems awfully complex.

My strategy that has scaled well over several homes: write install date/vendor/serial on the front of appliance manuals and keep them in a folder. Yes, you can scan them but it’s often easier to look at a paper manual while troubleshooting an appliance.

For notes, punchlists, “how I did it” reminders and details, a shared Apple note or Notion page or Google doc is great. Spouse acceptance factor high and participation factor higher.

> If a stock goes up 20% in a year, the market might have undervalued it last year, or is overvaluing it this year. It's unlikely the it was correctly valuing it at both times. In the absence of a Covid-19 pandemic, act of god, etc. of course.

Or the company has grown its revenue by 20% in 1 year which isn't necessarily unheard of. Or they significantly beat the expectations of analysts / their own guidance. In all of those cases the stock could have been correctly valued & still experienced growth.
True. I feel it could slowly become cultural norm as independent household becomes out of reach for more and more people.

I got an Amex card and I think it kinda sucks. Many businesses in Thailand don't accept Amex, I think due to the high fees. At some point I want to change my card (once I can get a credit card from a bank in Thailand, cause my Amex card is from The Netherlands).

Israel's had its own counting issues. It's a challenging enough task with a functioning government and control over the area, let alone an area with more than an a million evacuees going in various directions. https://www.wsj.com/livecoverage/israel-hamas-war-gaza-strip...

I don't doubt they include Hamas fighters, but I do doubt that Israel's targeting has been so effective and precise the deaths are mostly Hamas. US intelligence estimates 20-25k Hamas members (https://www.dni.gov/nctc/ftos/hamas_fto.html); I don't think half of them are likely to have been already taken out.
Not unheard of. People have to forget by making generalizations to understand anything. Many algorithms compress data to avoid storing details. Bloom filter is another example. Still interesting.
What is slippage? Is that a trade scenario or something?
I guess the fear is that only dictators would live for 500 years. But that’s still an argument for longevity research I think. If living to 500 years is a war crime, only war criminals will live to 500 years, and all that.
Sure, but living with people you don't like is absolute torture.
If you can't generalize then you can't think. Of course any affirmation can be turned down on the basis that it is not specific enough.

Once again: a plurality of Israeli Jewish people are not in fact European, but were instead forcibly expelled from Tunisia, Yemen, Morocco, Egypt, Iraq, etc. The west's persistent belief that Israelis are culturally just like them, and see the world in the same terms, is problematic and not just a little bit racist. Moreover, there's a particularly disquieting subtext that Jewish people could be expelled from the Levant and a just status quo ante restored to the region; that outcome would probably amount to a genocide of the Mizrahim. See also: "decolonization".

It also helps to understand that the "browner" an Israeli citizen is, the less likely they are to agree with liberals like me in the west about Israel's policies towards Palestinians. Israeli citizens of middle eastern ethnic origin are much more conservative than those of European origin.

New Zealand has population growth through immigration so we need significant growth in numbers of houses to keep up.
Awesome advice and a great way to prepare for unexpected death or incapacitation (if you are the one in your family who usually handles all this stuff). I only would add that if you do go ahead with this, use tools or a medium that mere mortals are familiar with.

Your excellent story compelled me to share another:

We rarely interact directly with production databases as we have an event sourced architecture. When we do, we run a shell script which tunnels through a bastion host to give us direct access to the database in our production environment, and exposes the standard environment variables to configure a Postgres client.

Our test suites drop and recreate our tables, or truncate them, as part of the test run.

One day, a lead developer ran “make test” after he’d been doing some exploratory work in the prod database as part of a bug fix. The test code respected the environment variables and connected to prod instead of docker. Immediately, our tests dropped and recreated the production tables for that database a few dozen times.
It sounded like the person I was responding to just wanted a lazy poo-poo soundbite. There are many examples of all of the countries mentioned making ridiculous/awful products and also amazing products.
He literally had a fiduciary duty as a board member to his companies to maximize profits above all else, including human decency. The windowless dorms were intended to minimize the cost of construction of the housing his donated millions subsidized.

I don't think you need to explain everything again because I am aware of posits' strengths over IEEE 754, that's why I acknowledged that first. But as an incremental improvement from IEEE 754, posits are just not enough to justify the switch. When people need something better served by posits, they don't use posits---they use non-standard variants of IEEE 754 (e.g. FTZ/DAZ, bfloat16).
What fiduciary duties? The purple box on every investment and employment agreement states in no uncertain terms that the for-profit org is completely subordinate to the non-profit. IIRC it specifically states they don’t have any obligation to attempt to return money to investors.

This fake rhetorical caring about "children being killed in Syria and Yemen wars and currently in Sudan" just do drum up argument for killing of Palestinian children is kinda distasteful.
KDL: A Cuddly Document Language
Fraud is everywhere unfortunately and will continue to wash out at an alarming rate as strong people take a stand. The future will certainly see massive disclosures as data availability spreads and gets fed into 'intelligent' technology. As with everything in life, experience is one's greatest educator and this story is no surprise to me. Is anyone aware of a public free to search site that can list these people along with the appropriate evidence?

I have direct personal experience with this as a former business partner had created a female LI profile, she was neither ugly nor non educated, and she was VP of Sales if I recall but if he is reading this, which I deduce he will, he is more than welcome to correct me. Many male folks within the industry reached out for non industry talks and he, the maintainer of this fake female LI account, ended up using this data against them for his own personal gain. Having read the comments within maybe it did start as a bare bones marketing approach but just got out of hand? Ironically today I saw the code theft article as well, that is something he also has experience with. I too have all the evidence in 'logs' that backs my claim against that person and for him there is no prison time but in this digital world he does have to live with his past choices.
I have a home-built system for monitoring the levels in our water tanks (we live on rain water).

Of course some people get by with a simple float indicator, but why would I do that when I could be using high accuracy hydrostatic sensors, esp32, influxdb, grafana, spring, keycloak and mysql running in AWS?

I certainly wouldn't want to be getting support calls if we were to ever sell, so I would probably remove it myself if that happened.
The assumption is that there is a "idealized" rate of divorce that would exist if all impediments were removed. The actual divorce rate being close to this is a signal of high economic mobility across the economy and vice versa.

I like it tbh, it's a good big mac index.

I would bet there's also an idealized rate of people finding their endgame that is much lower than the marriage rate and getting closer to that trends with high social mobility.
Geez, that's going back a ways.
I keep it in a Google Doc that I print out and have visible on the kitchen counter when I go to sell.

Even putting aside the practical value it could provide to the new homeowner, it shows the house has been well-maintained to the potential buyer. It also conveys that there are likely fewer "unknowns" about the house because it implies nothing is being hidden.

Locality of the information is important.

People will see comments in the code. They may even bother to read a README.md dropped in the same folder as the files they’re looking at. They probably won’t look in a docs/ folder in the root and they’re almost definitely not going to go search Confluence.

Centralized documentation is great for high level information. “Here’s an overview of the water treatment system.” You know where I wanna see instructions for resetting the alarm after cleaning the filter? Beside the filter.

Most of my “home documentation” is sharpied pieces of masking tape stuck around the place.
This is largely not a big deal - credit cards move to new servicers all the time, the customers are just transferred and you get a new card.

In the last 10 years the Costco credit card used to be serviced by AMEX but now it's Citibank. Fidelity credit card moved from FIA Card Services (Bank of America subsidiary) to Elan Financial and became a Visa. The AARP credit card went from Chase to Barclays. Those are just off the top of my head.

If you can't "predict" fed fund rates, then why make predictions on the housing market? The thing that the governments both state and federal is heavily vested with.

I think your reasoning is quite flawed. The Tantone's situation is one of unpreparedness and shortsighted to say the least, which as an insurance salesman looks pretty terrible.
I find all this kind of strange. She was an adult, and perfectly capable of putting herself on the donor registry. It's a checkbox, IIRC, on your driver's license application or renewal. Why then did the parents have any decision making power on it?

As much as the father sounds a bit unhinged, I wonder if the hospital really was trying all avenues to get her organs donated.
The last time I bought a house I paid about $600 for a pre-purchase inspection and the inspector basically prepared such a binder for me. A few hundred pages of photos and suggested fixes for not only all the defects she found, but also suggested ongoing maintenance schedules and routines for all the systems of the house, photos of the water shutoff, etc. and even a thumb drive with a few videos she shot and a sewer scope. I was updating the binder as I added/changed stuff but ultimately figured it's probably easier to just a hire another inspection when it's time to sell. There were no smart devices, though, that may have added a premium.
AFAIK Google is in the middle of massive infrastructure investment in hardware which is of similar performance to Nvidia, but they will own the whole stack. They will also be able to deploy an order of magnitude more compute than openAI to LLMs in 2024/25.

LLM tech also seems to be easily swapped between providers. So my view is that the value proposition is in the hardware designers and manufacturers (Nvidia, tsmc, Google).

Why are more people not excited by what is happening at Google? What am I missing?

It's not about competent modellers, any more than SD is for expert artists.

It's about giving tools to the non-experts. And also about freeing up those competent modellers to work on more interesting things than the 10,000 chair variants needed for future AAA games. They can work on making unique and interesting characters instead, or novel futuristic models that aren't in the training set and require real imagination combined with their expertise.

Noncommercial use - aside from being one of my licensing pet peeves - seems to indicate that the money is drying up. My guess is that the investors over at Stability are tired of subsidizing the part of the generative AI market that OpenAI refuses to touch[0].

The thing is, I'm not entirely sure there's a paying portion of the market? Yes, I've heard of people paying for ChatGPT because it answers programming questions really well, but that's individual users, who are cost sensitive. The real money was supposed to be selling these things as worker replacement, but Hollywood unions have (rightfully) shut AI companies out of the markets where a machine that can write endless slop might have made lots of money.

OpenAI can remain in Microsoft's orbit for as long as the stupid altruist / accelerationist doomer debate doesn't tear them apart[1]. Google has at least a few more years of monopoly money before either the US breaks them up or the EU bankrupts them with fees. I don't know who the hell is pumping more money into either Anthropic or Stability.

[0] Porn. It's always porn. OpenAI doesn't want to touch it for very obvious reasons.

[1] For what it's worth, Microsoft has shown that all the AI safety guardrails can be ripped out by the money people at a moment's notice, given how quickly they were able to make the OpenAI board blink.
