I don't believe that IQ tests are designed with a bias for or against the poor, so I'm not going to argue either side of that.

I would like to point out however that poverty (or even a hypothetical worry about financial matters) has been shown to reduce fluid intelligence (which IQ tests measure) significantly. This is because people facing poverty have less mental bandwidth. The effect is strong enough to bring a person with "superior" IQ down to "average", or an "average" IQ down to "borderline deficient".

If you're interested in the subject, I'd highly recommend the book _Scarcity_ by Sendhil Mullainathan and Eldar Shafir. If you'd like a shorter and more concise version, there's also an article titled "The Science of Scarcity" [0] in Harvard Magazine about the book that summarizes it quite well.

I'm not an expert on the subject though, so if anyone has reference to any evidence that poverty has no effect on IQ testing, I'd (sincerely) be interested to see it, to get a different perspective.

Civillians and those who do not want to take part in the fighting have been allowed to move south for their own safety while the IDF deals with the numerous underground tunnels from which Hamas operates. This is not an ethnic cleansing (though easy to portray it as one), and if they're not allowed to go back when this is over then I'm willing to put down my Israeli passport and call it quits (I will cerainly vote against any politician who makes such a suggestion).

The conflict is insignificant in the sense that hundreds of thousands have been killed and displaced in other conflicts raging in the middle east, which has been largely ignored by the international community and the "ceasefire" crowd. Not to mention the fact that Hamas's ministry of health counts all deaths as civillians, while in truth a lot were probably combatants, and this is then treated as gospel by the international community. This is a major source of frustration among Israelis, and in my opinion an obstacle to having an honest discussion around this.

Regarding a one state solution - up to those living here. Currently, it doesn't seem to be a realistic solution, will probably be rejected by the majority, and will not end the fighting anyway.

Finally, regarding aid, Hamas received tons of money. It just chose to use it for military purposes instead of bettering the lives of their people. The tunnels alone cost an estimated 150$ million (or 200-300$ per meter). We can only imagine how much better life in Gaza would have been if this was spent otherwise.

> Not really sure how this is anti-customer. Apple customers have ample access to iMessage, after all. And as has been noted many, many times, there are many means of accessing secure cross-platform messaging.

The point of a secure instant messaging protocol/app is to be able to communicate securely with people. If the company providing said app make it on purpose difficult for its customers to communicate with people, it is penalizing them.

We are not talking technical difficulties, we are talking unwillingness to let a secure channel stay open and making so that communication with people is less secure.
Is that really true though? Anything like the old passion sites would be lost to SEO amongst the deluge of garbage content, thanks to the sheer volume of people at least trying to use the internet to get rich. The quality on average is certainly garbage level, it's like looking for a diamond in the Great Pacific garbage patch.

So maybe it's technically true anyone can make a diamond today, without the profit motive, it's just that nobody will ever see it amongst all the average shit tier stuff you find everywhere you look. And that's literally the "something worse" that has replaced the old internet.

Although access got much worse in 2020, my impression is things are back to about what they were in 2019, which is still bad. My memory is that scheduling first became a serious issue when many doctors took early retirement to avoid dealing with the effects of the ACA. If you ignore the COVID bump, how would you describe the changes in accessibility from about 2014 until now?

Absolutely none of the insults you wrote have any connection with healthcare issues.

The actual issue is way way simpler: Doctors and other healthcare works make too much money for it to be affordable for everyone. That's it, it's as simple as that.

Compare Dr salaries to other countries. Doctors in the US make 2 to 10 times as much as other counties. (Google it if you don't believe me.)

And they make so much because there is not enough supply. And colleges take advantage of that and charge insane tuition.

Want to actually change things? Start educating way way way more Doctors, and encourage people to go to low cost universities (which do exist - but everyone wants "the best").

See: https://www.advisory.com/daily-briefing/2022/02/16/physician...
I have thought about this and realised it is not really a counterpoint.

At the very top, there is the illusion of community and camaraderie. Thing is, it is impossible to say whether your connections will actually turn up and help you. When you are not wealthy, you are forced to depend on other people, so you know early on who actually puts their money where their mouth is.

If you are a wealthy person, chances are you'll never be in this position. You can pay your way out of any situation. Going from one gala to another does not really amount to community IMHO.

Note that the definition of "wealthy" here is quite loose. Even the average HN SWE would comfortably qualify as wealthy. We may have our friend circles but it is not easy to say if we can count on someone to be there by our bedside if we end up with a terminal illness that leaves us bedridden.

For a long time, family was the bedrock that could be relied on no matter what. Now, nobody knows.

I'd always assumed that was due to differences in power levels needed for reading versus writing, and because writing onto disc is more error prone at higher speeds. Not necessarily anything to do with a difference in the algorithm for encoding versus decoding the bits on the disc itself.
Experiencing that, too. Are these long waits due to anything other than a shortage of specialists? If not, why is there a shortage? I thought more doctors wanted to be specialists because of better hours and pay.

>I'm sorry, then I don't know what you're saying

I mean it was pretty simple, the quality is not really close, also StyleGAN2 is not conditioned on text (because you talked about this model in first comment). In the future there could be one that is competitive but not today.

GigaGAN the best GAN model by far is not open source and it's not competitive yet because even the images cherry picked for the paper and project paper do not look that coherent, the FID is relatively low because the inception v3 model used to calculate the FID doesn't care that much about global coherency and more like texturing but if the FID was calculated using DINO v2 (like some recent paper do) instead of inception v3 it will really show the gap between GAN models and diffusion models today.

If Zelda is so great why doesn’t Nintendo make it available on more platforms?

I'm interested in what Apple have cooking, but stereo + depthmap doesn't seem like enough information to accurately construct a perspective correct scene outside of a fairly narrow frustum. Maybe they use generative AI to fill the gaps? But what has come out about the format doesn't seem to indicate that, it's still fundamentally a stereo pair just with additional depth data from the depth sensor.

I still see gaussian splats as the technique that will finally deliver on practical true spatial photography.

Swift was always going to be part of the OS (2022)
Some of the reason for Scala having `private[this]` is that it allows an implementation that behaves (and performs) like a Java private field. Scala fields generally aren't raw fields at the JVM level (because of Scala's "uniform access principle" that `def x` should be accessible like `val x`), but private[this] fields allow the compiler to represent them as raw fields since they really can't be accessed elsewhere.

The only other thing I'm aware of being allowed to go in the[] part of a Scala access modifier is a containing package (or object?), which allows you to emulate Java's "default" (AKA "package-private") visibility.

> It just so happens that Apple’s is one of the best, if not the best.

I don't think you can explain it that way. Network effect is a thing and instant messaging preferences are very regional.

Also:

- With same products and quality Apple probably would probably have lower share in the USA if it was a chinese or iranian company.

- Regardless of its qualities the iphone has long been and is still a social class status symbol.

- The conversation on hn is skewed because iphones have slightly higher than 50% of market share in the USA, not 90% yet commenters on hn mention that their social circle is almost entirely made of iMessage users, which means the average hn commenter is of a much higher income and social class than the average US smartphone user. Using hn is mostly like entering a fancy suburb and only discuss with a limited subset of the population.

This is nothing to do with ideas. Schmidhuber is complaining that his published work was plagiarised. In machine learning research, in order to publish your work you have to show that your proposed approach works and to do that you have to beat some benchmarks and establish a new state of the art, otherwise there's no publication. That takes work and that's the work that Schmidhuber claims was inappropriately left uncited. In fact that's exactly the kind of work that Hinton, LeCun and Bengio have always done. That's what machine learning researchers do.

This ... idea that Schmidhuber is an ideas man who's never done any real work is Hinton's allegation, and it's clearly designed to misrepresent both Schmidhuber and his work in order to discredit his complaints. And I'm sorry to say that people on HN have fallen for it hook, line and sinker, I guess because that's what social media says.

Btw, the point I make, that you don't get published in machine learning without beating some benchmarks and establishing a new state of the art, I can attribute that to none other than Hinton himself, in an interview with Wired, whence I quote, by the by:

>> What we should be going for, particularly in the basic science conferences, is radically new ideas. Because we know a radically new idea in the long run is going to be much more influential than a tiny improvement.

https://www.wired.com/story/googles-ai-guru-computers-think-...

So that's the guy accusing the other guy of being nothing but an ideas man and that you don't need to cite someone who first came up with an idea, saying that "new ideas" are important.

But that's just Hinton presenting things just the way he likes. Now ideas are important, now they're not, as he pleases.
I agree. Problem is that when you get an appointment, you don’t get an MD or DO or any doctor, only FNP or PA or other Nurse practitioners. And unfortunately for me, my experience with them has been terrible at best. The insurance still gets charged the same as a doctor, but somehow I get subpar care, where almost always things get worse and I finally need an MD to do a proper diagnosis.

Even things like my yearly checkups which technically doesn’t need an MD, have gone poorly. One of the NPs strongly wanted me on statins of slightly elevated cholesterol meanwhile the MD that I eventually took a second opinion from, suggested that for my age and physical condition, I most definitely don’t need to be on them.
Along these lines, I have a nit to pick: "private" isn't a keyword in Ruby. It's just a method on Module.

JS and TS aren't configuration languages. If it wasn't for JS's early dominance and too-big-to-fail status on the web, we probably wouldn't use it for programming much. Platform and operations engineers often don't know JS well, favoring bash, python, and others for programming. Some exceptions exist, like full stack node shops.

Configuration languages like yaml, HCL, etc. are more reasonable alternatives.

This article speaks of ruthlessness of the machine for 99% of the time, and then with absolutely no logical reasoning, says at the end that ruthlessnes is inherently oppressive. Because it has the power to be it.
In reality, it's the opposite: it's human flawed moral compass that makes a machine a weapon. Until we understand and address this, we will find no peace.
Why do you think that? It isn't true.
That’s cool! Thanks for sharing, I had never considered that aspect of private[this].

Mentioned in the article, but it also powers covariant classes. In a language like C# only interfaces can have covariant type parameters, because it wouldn’t be sound to store a value in a (C#) private field if it had a covariant type. This influences a lot of the API design in C# where basically every container a covariant/immutable interface alongside the invariant/mutable implementation.

(Java gets around this with use site variance annotations which are more flexible but have their own drawbacks).
People who had to deal with a lot of health care in 2014 may have had a worse experience, but my limited experience was that scheduling was pretty simple and clinics were more proactive, if that makes sense.

Paul, tell me how to get Hamas (the terror group) out of Palestine. They killed 1,200 Israelis and foreigners, wounded 3400, took 100+ hostages including 30 children. What would you do?

What strategies could be considered to address the challenges of urban and underground warfare, the protection of civilians, and the preservation of soldiers' lives, while seeking a path towards peace and stability in the region?
>How do you know? Humans learn from extremely few corrections,

I've been around little children being raised. I have some grasp on how much supervised correction is happening. It's very very little.

You don't seem to get it. Children know thousands of words fluently by age 5. This is consistent across many cultures and circumstances. You would need over a handful of corrections per day right from the day of birth to square how much children know.

And this is all assuming one correction per word which as much as humans are great learners seems like a very dubious assumption.

I don't know what else to tell you other than this obviously isn't happening.
I wouldn't call those equipment "autonomous" though, definitely not "highly autonomous".
