I dreaded statistics in high school. When I started out with probability I was excited and thought this stuff was useful.

But when I got the about two-tailed tests and p-values, it was all just so opaque. I didn't feel it was that useful, plus the whole argument about rejecting or not rejecting the null hypothesis felt too philosophical and contrived. And why 95% confidence?

I hated statistics throughout undergrad because of those philosophical contortions, which seemed very arbitrary to me.

It wasn't until grad school when I discovered the statistical learning side of things (PCA/PLS) that statistics became exciting to me -- because suddenly statistics became useful and able to predict things.

I'm still convinced the 80% of people don't need to know p-values and null hypotheses. Some might say, but what! These are used all over the social sciences! Umm no.

Let the people who need to learn that learn, and actually teach statistical learning (linear regression, logistic regression, Bayesian statistics) to the rest of us in school.

Why is there even a debate? What's the goal here get 100% of the population of the world to vote in some climate measure?

Isn't that the most ridiculous possible approach to solving the climate issue?
What email client do you use?
for "Thats exactly what we will be doing initially! Our tablets taste much better than Bite!" I might go with the brand "habitablets" and the tagline "where self-care meets planet-care"

the idea is that "habitablets" are a type of "tablets" that (when widely adopted to reduce packaging waste and shipping waste) will ultimately make our planet more "habitable"

There is enough business churn that switching costs for a going concern alone don't explain a lack of competition if there are wide margins (and thus, lots of room for price conpetition.)
This sounds like a dystopia where there is one set of laws for the wealthy and another set of laws for the less wealthy.

Yes, I know.. this is often the case in many countries, but when it comes to bodily autonomy[0], it sounds much worse to me. Does not sound like the land of free at all.

Very cool. FYI, I had to remove some compiler flags and change the 'section' attributes to get the tests building with Clang, but it seems to be working on my Mac.

I was looking for a benchmark that would give me an idea of the RAM/ROM footprint for the library, but I don't see one.
Well, to answer your initial question, RSS is XML, meaning for the most part it relies on serving the entire document every time to create a valid feed file. As such, as the number of articles grows, every request for the feed grows in size. So clipping it to the latest stuff helps relieve load on the server.

RSS is also commonly used to serve podcasts, and I've been told by a number of podcast hists that they like this because it prevents someone from sticking the RSS in their podcatcher and blasting the server with requests for every episode all at once.

I'm guessing that a lot of RSS generators have this as a default, and many of the people with their RSS set up like this simply never change the default.
That'd be a per Reader, per Feed "Max Entries to Save" setting - which may have default values that differ from reader to reader, from "feed collection" to "feed collection" (if you create tree heirarchies in your reader) and might (I don't recall) have default values (unless over ridden in reader) from individual feed values.

It's all very implementaton dependant.

I mainly use FeedBro as a browser extension - everything is a per feed value that can be set to over ride FeedBro defaults ; in FeedBro I can bundle all different news sites (BBC, ABC(AU), Fox, CNN, etc) rss feeds under a "News" heading but cannot set a single Max Entries value that is applied to all the sub feeds - other implementations (different readers) can.
SF tried its strategy of allowing almost no housing to be built. That policy has been a failuer. And the city is supposed to serve its residents? You mean all those residents that moved away because they couldn't afford it anymore? Failing to build housing actually ultimately hurts the existing residents in the long term

The child's parents also pay taxes so surely they should have a voice.

And it seems like if the child is creative and has zero plans to go into STEM then he shouldn't have his time wasted. Which is a win-win for everyone since disengaged students often disrupt the teacher and other students.
Obvious only because we have good understanding of viruses and evolution. Note the guy who coined the term was an evolutionary biologist.
Many things failed, at least:
(1) failure to identify safety-critical parts for review
(2) failure in design drawings made without regard for fabrication
(3) failure to make reference to original design goals when altering part designs
(4) bad machining plan altering work-holding during the machining
(5) failure to inspect finished parts

The curriculum consists of reviewing the history of literature, reading a lot of literature, and reading several novel literature such as Great Gastby and Catcher in the Rye.

It is a consumption course. Kids don’t actually learn how to write literature. That might actually might be worthwhile.
Because LLM's are causal autoregressive. The output is non-deterministic and is based on a sampling algorithm. It's why things like 'self-consistency' is a thing. It's possible LLM's are better than or equal to best prompt engineers in producing the best "trace" or "prompt" that will lead to the desired sampling "trajectories".
How did we find forums back in the day? Someone said something somewhere and you looked it up. It was less discoverable but less… volatile, because it was just “your” kind of people there, not millions of random people who found a hashtag

It really isn't so big a deal; the author of this post is spreading fear, in a way.

For example, saying that you need "real world data" to catch "edge cases" like this... no, proper unit tests will do just fine. Also, the problem of splitting different-sized keys in the way the author first tries to do does not strike me as a mistake anyone would fall into or that is hard to get out of.
Blast’s TVL now stands at $837.02 million, up 27% from where it was seven days ago.
The L2 solution had a TVL of around $350 million on November 24.
In the short time since its introduction, the Ethereum Layer-2 network Blast has achieved a new Total Value Locked (TVL) milestone, according to statistics from DefiLlama.

According to the numbers, Blast’s TVL now stands at $837.02 million, up 27% from where it was seven days ago. The L2 solution had a TVL of around $350 million on November 24, according to DefiLlama’s statistics.

A significant portion of its expansion may be traced back to the distinctive business strategy it implemented. Tieshun Roquerre, better known by his stage name “Pacman,” is the brains behind the NFT marketplace Blur. His new platform uses an innovative yield generating strategy to reward users who stake their Ethereum or stablecoins.
Mind you, he said liberalism and not liberal. Modern day conservatives tend to be very pro-capitalism, which liberalism loved.

Not sure when things got all turned around in America. Liberalism = smaller government and a free market. Yet in the US a "liberal" dislikes capitalism and wants more government? It's odd.
Ask HN: CLI WireGuard Manager?
i see lots of really beautiful projects to provide a GUI wireguard experience for managing endpoints and configs, but is there a CLI version? something that has at-rest encryption for the configuration?

When Google talks about Gemini's "multi-modal", they include "video" in the list of modes. It's totally possible they don't actually mean video, and just mean frames like in this demo. They haven't elaborated on it anywhere that I've seen.
i have been watching this subthread in hope that something interesting might come out of it and you just delivered. this demo is amazing. i am now dying to apply this to my photo collection.

on that note, some time ago i came across an image management tool that uses machine learning in some form. i don't have time to look for it now, but i just wanted to mention that someone is working on something like that.
Any good recommendations for reading on this?
Well said. It's astonishing how much the corporate/capitalist mantra "if you're not growing, you're dying" has taken hold in the world of open source and free culture. People not only fail to realize how unsustainable and destructive that idea is, many don't even seem to know that alternative community models exist, and have been practiced since forever.
That's not a great answer. We need to know the counterfactual question of "How much would google's stock have rallied after a realistic demo was given?" I would not have been surprised if the answer was also 5%. Almost certainly Google's stock would have risen after announcing Gemini. There are other long term questions too like about how this feeds into growing dissent against Google and trust. But what the stock did is only a small part of a much bigger and far more important question.

One question I've long had is why short-term changes in stock prices seem to matter so much to companies like these. Is it just that the short-term changes are seen as harbingers of longer-term trends, or is there a concrete reason to play games to get temporary boosts to stock price?

The probability theory, statistics and data analysis you need for typical everyday life is already taught in middle school. A statistics course is overkill, the problem here isn't that people weren't taught those things it is that they don't remember it afterwards.

You can read the standards here, everyone learns this before high school:

And the same topics are taught everywhere in the world, it isn't like we spend 8 years just teaching arithmetics.
I remember there was speculation that Facebook named their vaporware cryptocurrency Libra (later, “Diem”) as a jab at the longtime rival Winklevoss twins, who had started a crypto exchange called Gemini. I have no idea how astrologically clever that would be.
100%.

I made this demo in 2-3 hours, and I did use the "wait until the dictation results are finalized" technique which is safer (i.e. the dictation transcription is more robust) but slower.

For another demo - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fxS7OKh_4vc - I kept feeding the "in progress" transcription results into GPT and that was super super awesome & fast. It would just require more work to deal with all of the different timings going on (i.e. there's the speech itself from the person, the time to transcribe, sending the request to GPT, "sync'ing" it to where the person is (mentally/in their speech) at the point where GPT replies, etc.)

But yeah. Real time/continuous talk is absolutely where it's at. Should GPT be available as a websocket...?!
At the end of the day, we like all other species have our root loop as self preservation and procreation.

In our modern society, money is inherently tied to survival as it can be traded with resources that helps further the root loop.

We humans, and every other living thing are a competing distributed system because of a limited resource environment.

So if you light up Amazon, Congo and Daintree rainforests to get a massive economic boost. Go for it!

Earth is all we got in the entire 100B light year observable universe as far as we know.

If all of Amazon is lit on fire, that likely explains why we can’t find any intelligent anywhere.
This page seems to capture scrolling in a weird way: if you scroll over the middle of the page, when the page moves such that the cursor ends up over one of the rendered image, the scrolling immediately stops, and the continued scrolling motion starts zooming the rendered image instead.
If we allowed schools to also operate as casinos, students would remember probability better. There would be a whole host of other side effects, sure, but maybe a well-educated populace is worth it.
How to implement feature flag in asp.net core blazor
I think that an answer to finding a 'true' reality on the net comes back to the centuries old dicipline of philosophy. The world has been full of 'garbage-thought' for ever. I might suggest that there is less 'garbage-thought' now for those that wish it than there ever has been.

The AI-Voice revolution leads us instead to the problem of authority, and of imitation of authority. Too many of us take it as given that an authority has the truth.

The AI-Voice / AI-Content revolution allows low quality actors to imitate relevant authorities.

So, to address your question, we need to study philosophy in schools, so that kids learn to think for themselves.
Chain rule is a bad example. If you cannot remember the chain rule, you do not understand the theory at all. And if you do understand what a derivative is, the chain rule is trivial.

Everything I wrote is true. The LA crew restored normal trim 25 times, but never thought to turn off the stab trim system. The trim cutoff switch is right there on the center console within easy reach for just that purpose.

The EA crew oversped the airplane (you can hear the overspeed warning horn on the CVR) and did nothing to correct it. This made things worse. They were also given an Emergency Airworthiness Directive which said to restore normal trim switches, then turn off the trim system. They did not.

That's it.

You only looked at the pseudo version and missed the important replace directives

replace github.com/candiddev/shared => ./shared

replace github.com/google/go-jsonnet => github.com/thequailman/go-jsonnet v0.0.0-20230924031349-110b4ca1dc1a

The replacement with ./shared means it's using exactly the version on disk (which is in a submodule here). The go-jsonnet replacement points to a specific commit.
It's strange, but I cannot make it work.

I did this:

Then I'm searching in my code with:

659│ state.io.onException();
660│ exception = std::make_unique<DB::Exception>(ErrorCodes::UNKNOWN_EXCEPTION, "Unknown exception");
661│ }

But there should be more than one result.

It also does not work in Playground: https://ast-grep.github.io/playground.html#eyJtb2RlIjoiUGF0Y...
Just speculating and projecting into the future - if world further drifts apart as it currently seems to be the case then both ISAs are US or UK which might come under export control and such.

But in theory, that might not happen with an open source ISA though I have not read the fine print on the RISC-V licensing and this euphoria might not be warranted.

I read the article and I am trying to understand it better. So do you mean that Web Components should be used just like normal HTML to code Component, together with frameworks such as VueJS or React?

Research like this really gives me cause for optimism about our ability to find creative solutions to the biggest issues facing humanity. It can’t lull us into complacency that “someone will figure it out”, but if we can mitigate volcanic eruptions while generating gigawatts of energy (albeit hypothetical), I hope we can also find ways to mitigate the effects of climate change.
I learned the UNIX shell and C programming in Coherent. Its high quality manual was legendary - nothing comes close to it today. It's amazing that this OS and documentation could have been done with such limited resources. So much value for $99.

When used out-of-the-box, go.sum is what provides the cryptographic guarantees of the contents of modules retrieved using go.mod.

You can read more about it here: https://sum.golang.org/
So no description of outcome of withdrawal then? Just standard manipulative avoidance of the hard part?

Well what you have suggested would inevitably lead to what is happening already only on a bigger scale. Consciously or not it seems you do not mind that and thus the loss of life because it is too hard for you to analyse outcome of your own propositions.
> so much like high school physics will not teach thinking but simply knowing how to apply the right formula at the right time...

Unfortunately, that seems to apply to a lot of high school math, including a lot of calculus classes. And, to shoot into my own ranks, college math and especially statistics classes are far from immune to this as well.
Also not a lawyer, but that sounds more like "if another company acquires us, we will give your info to them" and then separately "Stripe might sell your data; we're not responsible for them".

Good point, we might want to document that. Btw, I've called it "native backend" and "native forge" myself, but maybe those are not the best terms because there are many possible native backends/forges.

For example, our "Piper" backend at Google is a native backend in the sense that it stores all data in its own database. I think the most exciting thing about that backend is that it's cloud-based so users will be able to access each others' commits (e.g. `jj show <commit id from chat>`) without requiring a push.

What exactly is wrong with it?

If you have a stable widely used application suitable for being installed by unsophisticated consumers, have the distributions put it in their package managers. This is hardly any different than consumer mobile platforms that require you to use an app store, except that it isn't actually required, just the thing you ought to do absent a good reason to do otherwise.

If you're distributing something sufficiently esoteric or experimental that the package managers won't touch it, your correspondingly sophisticated or adventurous users can compile it from source.

We don't need some malware-facilitating norm that encourages users to install opaque binaries from random websites.
