It also seems unprofessional to call Sir Fisher an "ass", which is called an ad-hominem attack (attack on the person is obviously not a valid logical argument), and one of a dead person at that.

Fact is: Fisher made fundamental contributions and the poster himself uses these on a daily basis: "Student" [Gossett]'s t-distribution, Fisher's linear discriminant, a precursor of linear discriminant analysis, ANOVA, Fisher information, Fisher's scoring, Minimum Fisher information, the F-distribution, Fisher–Tippett–Gnedenko theorem, the Fisher-Yates shuffle algorithm, the von Mises–Fisher distribution, inverse probability, Fisher's permutation test Fisher's inequality, sufficiency of a statistic, and more. His contribution to biology are even more impactful.

It also happens that Fisher was a proponent of the "Frequentist" interpretation of probabilities, whereas the poster belongs to the recently more popular "Bayesian" camp of ideology (yes, ideology, if you think statistics as a part of mathematics is free from that, welcome to real life!).

He further held strong views about races, perhaps because he was a professor of eugenics (which we today know as incorrect unscientific nonsense, but obviously that was not the state at the time), and there is am ongoing controversy regarding whether he was a racist or not. What I read about him suggests to me I may not have liked him, but to just stamp him as "ass" wihtout elaborating is too cheap for a statistcs professional in my view. But then this is a personal blog, where the poster can write whatever he wants under US law.
Wait, is there a distinction between "subtitles" and "closed captions"?

> Netflix also displayed the ratings as 5-star "adjusted ratings for the viewer", which already took your preferences into account.

It was not adjusted to your preferences. It was adjusted by algorithm to ... something that has nothing to do with my enjoyment.
have you ever used or spoken to GPT2 or GPT3? Not chatgpt. The one before they did any RLHF, to train it to respond a certain way. If you asked it whether it would like to be hurt, it would beg you not to. If you asked it to move it's leg out of the way, it would apologize, and claim it obliged. It would claim to be conscious, to be aware.

Of course, these statement do not come from a place of considered action: everybody knows the machine is not conscious in the same way as a human, but the point is that an unfeeling machine even being able to make such claims makes us have to move the "consciousness" divider further and further back into the shadows, until it's just some nebulous vibe people insist must be somewhere. It's possible there is a clear and unambiguous way to define humans and intelligent animals conscious, but nobody has come up with a workable definition yet that lets us neatly divide them.

Another slight thing that gives me a little pause: you know how great our brain is at confabulating right? Have you ever done something, then had someone ask you why you did it? You generally tell them a story about how you thought about doing something, weighed the pros and cons etc, that isn't actually true when you think deep down. We like to think we are a single being that thinks carefully about everything it does. instead we're more like an explaining machine sitting on top of a big pile of confusing processes and making up stories why the processes do what they do. How exactly this last thought relates to the discussion I haven't figured out yet, its just something that comes to mind :)
(See update at bottom for a source supporting parent's claim)

That's not correct from what I've read. You are more than welcome to ask for a source instead of accusing me of falsehoods.

"To help maintain its monopoly power, Valve uses what is known as a Platform Most Favored Nations (“PMFN”) clause in its agreements with game publishers which prevents game publishers from selling their games on other on-line gaming sites with lower costs, fees, and/or sales commissions for less than the game publishers sell their games on the Steam platform"

https://www.masonllp.com/case/valve-mass-arbitration/#:~:tex...

Nothing about that refers to Steam Keys. I did do some cursory searching to find sources which disagreed with this interpretation but was unable to find any. There's always the possibility that the class action lawsuit was misguided or incorrect- so if you have any sources that say otherwise, please provide!

..Or I suppose, some examples of games that sell for less (excluding temporary sales) on other stores than they do within Steam.

EDIT: Elsewhere someone provided this Ars Technica article where an unidentified source at Valve said this does only apply to Steam keys, which is likely what you are referring to: https://arstechnica.com/gaming/2021/05/why-lower-platform-fe...

So it's definitely a contested fact.
> Apple care[sd] about user privacy only insofar as it gave them something else to bash Google about

Apple have done a lot of work in relation to privacy, and I am struggling to think of times they have bashed Google in relation to that work. It’s rare for Apple to refer to competitors at all.

For instance, here’s Apple’s documentation on tracking prevention in WebKit:

https://webkit.org/tracking-prevention/

This is clearly the result of privacy work spanning many years. I can’t think of a time Apple have bashed Google in relation to any of this functionality.

This goes for pretty much everything I can think of where Apple is clearly working on privacy-improving measures. If the only reason Apple works on privacy is to bash Google, where is all the Google bashing? Because I can see a lot of privacy work, but I can’t see a lot of Google bashing.

> The best strategy for Israel would have been to show retraint, because now Israel is slowly ending up as the villain of this story.

This rings so hollow to me. People were out protesting Israel the day of the October 7th attacks, which was before Israel had done anything! In the eyes of many people in the world, Israel is guilty, period, no matter what it does.

Not to mention, and this is also a pretty important point - Israel showing initial restraint would've made it look weak, which could easily have meant that this war would've turned into a multi-state regional conflict. Hezbollah for weeks was watching from the sidelines, deciding whether to join the conflict or not. Had they done so, casualties on all sides would be far far higher.

People seem to forget that the way to stop wars is to make the so costly as to not be worth it, which you don't do by showing restraint.

> For not having the purpose of wrecking civilian infrastructure, the Israeli airforce sure did a great job at wrecking it regardless.

That's a very sad consequence of the fact that Hamas uses that civilian infrastructure, thus making it effectively not civilian any more.

> And far more force, how? Cracking out the nukes?

C'mon. Israel could easily attack and kill far more people. Just look at actual mass slaughters that have happened.

Israel isn't coming anywhere close to what it could do if it wanted. Unlike Hamas, it isn't constrained by capability.

Also, it is now doing a ground offensive which is causing far more Israeli soldier casualties, instead of continued bombing.
You discredited yourself. I didn't have to.
Tesla unveils Optimus gen 2
Israel built bunkers, not tunnels, and evidence of tunnels was presented.

Consider that releasing information jeopardizes its source, both in the physical sense (a person giving information will be executed), and in the intelligence sense - the source will go dead and Israel will have worse intelligence.

That's why Israel can't release information for each and every single target. For Al-Shifa, ample evidence was produced. Whether or not it is convincing is subjective, and your opinion is not more valuable than mine or the IDF's.

The only way to get an objective judgement of the legitimacy of a given attack is to have a neutral third party actively collect intelligence and present their findings, but that's not going to happen.

I don't see that happening at all in Germany unless they completely redo the whole store layout. I always know where the stuff I want is (if I had purchased it before). The only consistent pattern we have is expensive stuff is on eye height and the cheaper option is on the bottom.
I think it is exactly the other way around. My brother was long time working for a big car manufacturer, and citing him "it is quite an achievement these days to make a car which drives genuinely bad". And it is true, especially given the move to EV and that with an increasing age my desire to drive a car past 160 km/h and in sports mode is basically 0.

So, where a car still can collect bonus points is infotainment and interior in general. If you offer some touchscreen-blandness, you have to go down with the price significantly, because I see where money was spared. I use the built-in wireless CarPlay daily, so I expect it to work without occupying myself with fixing Volvo's incompetence.
I’m not giving gifts this year and I didn’t last year either. I seemed to give up on Christmas after 2020. I for some reason cannot bring myself to waste money on Christmas and I also don’t want my family members to feel obliged to buy me gifts either. I don’t want them having either the financial burden of it, nor do I want them to feel stressed trying to think of something to buy me.
So a few weeks ago I messaged all my relevant family members and told them I was opting out of Christmas this year. No one minded.

However, in the past some of the things I’ve gifted to the sister-in-law include:
- a new handbag
- fancy loose leaf teas from her favourite tea shop.
- a fancy teapot
- cosmetics
- a gift card for her favourite book shop
- chocolate
- perfume.

For the guys in my life (all of whom are avid gamers/computer nerds):
- 1 year subscriptions to their respective chosen gaming platforms.
- new headsets.
- gaming related paraphernalia for their favourite games.
- light up keyboard
- gaming chair
- sometimes actual gaming consoles.
- novelty socks
- belts
- men’s cosmetics
- lights/lamps
- cups
- wallets

And then for my mum:
- cookbooks
- craft shop gift cards
- I once bought her an entertainment unit.

This is all a step up from the year that I decided inflatable items were cool - which meant every single family member got an inflatable gift. One aunt got an inflatable rubbish bin, another aunt got an inflatable chair, my brother got an inflatable cactus, poor mum got an inflatable whale, and someone else got an inflatable Christmas tree, and I believe I was running out of inflatable ideas so I gave my cousin a beach ball - which was of course inflatable.
It was like some kind of ADHD hyper-focus obsession with inflatables and every year my family laughs at me over the inflatable gift phase I went through.

Second is very subjective. If there's onething that I've learnt over the years working on this - it is that the definition of "support" is very fuzzy. You can't even compare what "LTS" means between different stacks/products, so it is hard to objectively rate anything. It still might be worth doing some analysis and publishing as a blog post though, but i'm not sure if it can be automatically calculated.
The fact that money makes you powerful rather than power making you rich is quite a dramatic shift, for example. 50s guy will understand that but our world will resemble his to some degree yet be quite alien in others (as he didn’t live through the changes incrementally).
It’s not a general purpose device, it’s a phone. The only reason why anyone is pushing for this is because their profits are affected and they do all sorts of mental gymnastics in order to justify it. If Apple tomorrow says 0% fees - 90% of the developers are going to say YES we did it. But in reality no new user freedoms were gained or choice to the user was provided. It’s an assumption but everyone always talks about the % being high and given that there are more app developers than console developers it seems like it’s not a mindset but just a “it hurts my profit margins” which has 0 benefit for the user.
This sort of thing is a commonplace occurrence: https://www.theguardian.com/society/2011/jul/17/the-rape-of-..., additionally only men being legally required to remain in Ukraine, drafted, etc. Usually it's only men who are systematically tortured/killed when Russian soldiers enter Ukrainian villages. Of course women are at risk of being raped, but so are men - and things so much worse than rape.

But the worst thing is that because of the way that men are still positioned within society, we're both targeted for these things, but are also refused any support/understanding when it does happen.
HN is a site where you hear people unironically talk about how they listen to audiobooks and podcasts at higher speed to optimize how many they can take in.

Thinking about what that implies about how these people engage with art is kind of wild. It's like speedwalking through an art gallery to see more paintings per hour. There's something about that optimization/productivity mindset that seems strangely pathological. Like insisting on eating exclusively vitamin gruel because it's optimized for nutrition per minutes.

I don't know where this compulsion starts, but it's a little disturbing.
You are, with or without ads. The web is a struggle for attention. No website can survive that doesn't addict you to check it again and again.
I made https://github.com/mickael-kerjean/filestash out of the need to collaborate on org mode documents with non emacs users. Once the first release was done, I got to reflect on the infamous top comment of the Dropbox HN to make an attempt at abstracting the storage aspect of Dropbox so those org document could be made stored on a FTP server, SFTP, S3, ....
I wish it wasn’t a chrome wrapper, I’m trying to avoid the monopoly.
Interesting that you say that, in my subjective experience the overall quality of submissions and discussions has dropped significantly. I don't have any data about this of course, but the site just doesn't really capture my attention anymore the way it once did, and it's mostly down to the comments just not being an interesting read anymore (for me).
Great question!

The return value is not guaranteed to be correct. REASON uses function calling to force the model to return a valid JSON object; however, sometimes models hallucinate.

For OpenAI models that have JSON mode, REASON uses that instead.

However, it has an internal validation step where it checks the return value, and if it's not correct, it'll throw an error (this behavior can be disabled though).

Here's more info about it: https://docs.tryreason.dev/docs/essentials/reason#will-the-l...

Your suggestion to use logits is super interesting, though! And it sparked this line of thinking: since REASON uses function calling, it has been somewhat difficult to integrate with OSS models — however, if under-the-hood we use Jsonformer, that might be the missing key for incredible OSS model support (?). What do you think?

> The uncertainly created by the law has already put a freeze on making offers to research students in China for the fall of 2024, which normally happens in December and early January. “We have missed that window,” says Zhong-Ren Peng, a UF professor of urban planning who leads a center for adaptation planning and design. “And the best students cannot wait. Instead, they will go somewhere else.”

It reminds me back to my undergrad time there was a Iranian mate in my class (physics major already) blocked from getting second F1 visa (visa for foreign students) for grad school for studying quantum information, and just end up with being a software engineer. The irony part is that most of quantum information works are more public accessible than proprietary code in some big corps.
> It wasn't the full Autopilot, just the lane following/adaptive cruise control kind of thing but we almost did go off the road at least once.

Your friend should have warned you that there are conditions where AP is expected not to work well, they're also clearly stated in the manual. I tend to agree that Tesla oversells the AP/FSD functionality just by the name, AP should be renamed to "vision lane assist", or something along those lines.

> But in general with the UI, there was a lot of, "Hey, how do I do [elementary car function]" and he'd be like "Oh I think they changed that [or moved it in the menu] in the last update, uh let me have a look"...

As an M3 2019 owner, I recall 2 instances since 2019 where stuff was moved around a lot, otherwise it's pretty stable.

While the first big update sacrificed some navigator real estate space for non-FSD users as well, it also grouped speed, speed limit and AP limit better at the top left corner, which used to be placed further away (now I don't need to turn my head anymore, I just glance bottom-right). The second one introduced dynamic tiles at the bottom for the less used stuff (things which were otherwise hidden behind non-intuitive areas, like the T Tesla logo at the top center of the screen).

After 6~10mo ago (can't recall) they grouped all car commands in the same panel when you bring up the settings to make it easier and more consistent to access those when required.

UI has gotten much snappier since I got the car, even though it's still running on a very low-end Intel Atom chip.

My feeling is that some breakage is sometimes required to achieve better solutions, and while there's the usual outrage of "changing my workflow" ® in the beginning, Tesla UI updates are usually for the better in the long run.
I expect they fought for, and won, something that will ultimately work against their best interests.

Netflix etal. didnt hide this data to pay writers less, they hid to to juice their stock price. If they disclosed how few views they recieved for the piles of cash they were throwing at original content the magic money tree would have dried up.
In many American states and the federal level, we execute murderers. The Bill of Rights plainly permits this. Executing drug dealers isn't over the line either if we consider the number of people killed by drugs and the drug trade, and if we make a regular habit of it.

As for flogging people, this is arguably less cruel than imprisonment and is a good option for the sort of criminals the public doesn't need to be protected from (not suitable for violent criminals who will likely reoffend.) It doesn't keep people away from their families for years, let's them stay current in their job training, etc. It is nevertheless a strong deterrent but it does less damage to the rest of society.

Singapore gets results and most of their policies don't violate the letter of Bill of Rights except in a purely subjective sense, but most people in America aren't ready to give real progressive reform serious consideration.

Yeah, I'm not a total fan of the runtime panics, but it was a tradeoff where I chose in favour of API simplicity and readability. In practice, it works out well, because you catch any typos at development time.

I've had elements and attributes in separate packages before, but then you can't dot-import both packages and not have name clashes, and have to either prefix elements or attributes with the package name, which makes the code much less readable. Again, a tradeoff. :)
There is a general human bias to do something, without considering if doing nothing could be better.

Israeli people must jail Netanyahu and his gang and negociate seriously for a two-states solution. There is no other way out. Military retaliation has exactly zero role to play here. It only creates more hatred and more Hamas militants to come.

Huh. I would expect that it's more common for the insurance agent to have WhatsApp (or equivalent) as the only option than it is for them to refuse to use it in favor of the telephone network.

Why is being within the 1967 borders a realistic chance of peace?

Israel was previously within its 1967 borders, in 1967, Arab states declared war on it anyway.

A realistic chance of peace is Arab states realising that they’re not going to be able to kick Jews out of the Jewish homeland.
