My heuristic is how much noise is in the closest vectors. Even if the top k matches seem good, if the following noise has practically identical distance scores, it is going to fail a lot in practice. Ideally you could calculate some constant threshold so that everything closer is relevant and everything further is irrelevant.
The whole setup is ridiculous. PreCheck is pay to play too. If the government wanted equitable security it could just offer the same background check for free to anyone. But then all the lines would be long again because everyone would be on equal footing, like the citizen lines in immigration.

It's just their lame way to appease rich people and business travelers after the increased security after 9/11.

And yeah, outsourcing some of that security to a private company -- and a single one at a that --just seems like rampant corruption. Wouldn't expect any less from the US gov.
Seems like keeping them pressurised would add yet more costs. I would rather let the sections fail (assuming it's rare) and have automatic valves sealing the failed section from the rest (something very simple, like an inflating balloon that fills the entire diameter of the pipe).
I agree with you in principle, but being "E2EE" is just simply that - it's end-to-end encrypted. It says nothing as to who holds the encryption keys, and often times the host holds the key. Zero knowledge implies that the host has no knowledge (thus no keys) of your data.
Flying low and not all that fast. To survive chopper failure you either need altitude or speed to autorotate and recover.
Not a bad idea. We are looking into this. One issue is that the vendors for these keyfobs are super fragmented -- even more so than Plug & Charge adoption.
TextGrabber is also part of stock macOS. Take a screenshot, click the thumbnail to open the temp window, copy the text you want, click the trash icon to delete the screenshot.

Paletro is also part of stock macOS and has been ever since Spotlight was introduced, which they even mention. I fail to see how this app is more user friendly, macOS shows you visually where the thing you're looking for is in the menu so you can better learn. Maybe if it was one of those all-in-one Spotlight replacements that also does this and 500 other things, there would be a better argument for it.

This is as far as I could get without paying. I'd like these lists better if they weren't padded with utilities that replicate stock OS features. There seems to be a big market in macOS to wait until Apple introduces a new core technology, put a new skin on it, then release it as a stand alone app to people who missed the memo about the built in feature.

Good for you! I get a feeling that there are fewer and fewer individuals learning the basics (or sometimes not-so-basic) of hardware and operating systems. It is invaluable knowledge, even when working with PaaS. For instance, having experience with IIS since NT4 and Apache since the 1.x days is invaluable in diagnosing Azure Web Sites.
Don’t Google already have that information from your searches, emails, calendar, etc? Obviously you have to trust they don’t misuse it, but it’s basically the same thing as some personal assistant having it to me.
The first time I ran into this, I was working on an application that tracks delivery trucks. I wondered how - and why - the hell the truck got to the ocean near Nigeria.

It's important to output null / None instead of zero if you don't have any data!
Penalizing a crime might make sense for the purpose of deterrence even if there is no conscious free will. The size of the deterrent effect is a scientific question, and how to weigh the benefits of deterrence to society vs. the harm the punishment inflicts on the criminal is a moral question (where by moral I mean "should we do this").

However, penalizing a crime for the purpose of retribution makes no sense if there is no conscious free will. The criminal's consciousness experiences the harm of the punishment, but didn't cause the actions that constituted the crime. This is patently unfair.

I don't think conscious free will exists. One of the reasons I care is that, if most people shared that belief, we would talk and think about crime so differently that our approach to crime would change in the direction of becoming more humane.

For example, given the news of SBF's conviction for fraud, no one would be happy about the fact that he will likely experience many years in prison. We might be happy that the harm his actions caused has been stopped, and we may feel a kind of dutiful satisfaction in the knowledge that the system is working to deter and prevent this kind of harm. However, these emotions would be tempered by regret that a young man is going to lose part of his life, and we would be questioning whether there's any way to achieve the same level of harm prevention without inflicting such serious harm on one person.
Foxconn pours another $1B into India expansion
Plenty has changed. In general the technology industry cares a lot more about security these days. Things have gotten better and many services became much more secure by default. WhatsApp is the most widely used messaging platform in the world and it has end-to-end encryption. It's not ideal but the fact is never before have so many people used something this secure. It's foiled my country's courts more than once.

What we need now is to get these governments to accept defeat and stop trying to undermine our security with constant legislative assaults. The fact they keep trying is evidence that it's working.
I think it’s useful to draw a Chomsky-esque distinction here between understanding and usefulness.

I think LLMs haven’t advanced our understanding of how human language syntax/semantics work, but they’ve massively advanced our ability to work with it.
This doesn't seem like tech-based enshittification. If anything, this is a low tech and super simple (albeit not as satisfying) solution to the problem of replacing pins. We need to stop using that word before it loses all meaning.
I'm a little out of touch with the space-related investment right now in Adelaide, so I hadn't heard of these guys, but as soon as I saw that airport photo on the main page I knew where they were based! :)
> In truth, it's a labor and productivity problem.

Yes, and the gigantism of the projects does not help. Here's an example [1]. Last week they mounted the reactor dome at Hinkley. Here's a quote:

> Using one of the world's largest cranes, known as Big Carl, the dome - with a diameter of almost 47 metres, height of 14 metres and weighing 245 tonnes - was lifted and then slowly lowered onto the 44-metre-high reactor building.

SMRs would address that. Every single thing about gigawatt scale reactors is extremely expensive. If you reduce the scale of the reactor by a factor of 10, then you won't need "Big Carl", you would not need a 245 ton dome, you wouldn't need containment vessels that can only be build by a handful of forges in the world [2] (none in the US).

You are absolutely right, this has nothing to do with the NRC. They have a job to do, and in a world where Fukushima can happen, you can't be too careful.

But can SMRs reduce construction costs? The anti-nuclear crowd is dancing in the streets for the failure of NuScale to keep the Utah project alive. But NuScale is a player with zero experience. There are numerous other players [3] that actually build reactors. For example one is BWXT, a company that makes nuclear reactors for the US Navy.

I'd guess that most EV owners with home charging do plug in daily, but also limit charge based on the type of pack. For most of us, that means ~80% as a daily limit, if not less.

In practice, I don't think EV owners are seeing a meaningful difference between repeatedly doing charges from 70 to 80% vs periodically doing bigger charges (eg, 20-80%).

So why not have a full-enough pack every morning? It is one of the big conveniences of an EV. Obviously this will be different if they don't have home charging or have a less than convenient setup.

At some point I realized that it is okay to drop a book I started reading. If it turns out to be boring or not meeting whatever expectations I had, I just ditch it and move on.
Crime rates have gone down, but I think it's because there is nothing worth stealing anymore. I even looked at Craig's List and found a bunch of legit used older laptops for $100.

What has happened is that the only thing worth anything anymore is property... and the prices of that have gone through the roof!
There are transit systems that have made this work smoothly, you just walk up to a gate, tap your card as you walk through, so I can't imagine the barrier is technological unachievable. Seems like similar frequency and $.
Seems fair to assume that “current requirements” means current roadmap of requirements. Taken to extreme, if there are no future requirements at all, there is no technical debt.
When I lived in a big city with a big airport, Clear was a nice luxury. But their scanner was a bit janky, TBH. The whole thing is security theater anyway, and if facial recognition makes it faster, I'm all for it. It's already encoded in my passport anyway and many countries use facial recognition for recognition.

I wonder if this would get Clear kicked out of the Chicago airport, though. They normally ban facial recognition, but if Clear is working for the government... shrug: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biometric_Information_Privacy_...
Your quote only adds to the GP's point -- Atlanta is so far from being walkable that it will take half a century of very good urban planning before the problem solved by the article is solved in the way that would make the r/fuckcars posters that show up in every thread on this site about transportation would like it to be.

People arguing that Atlanta should just permit "denser and mixed-use development, so employees can walk to their favorite restaurants on the ground floor instead of driving >1km" as a short-term solution to the massive sprawl that is Atlanta have absolutely no idea of the gargantuan undertaking they are proposing and it's sort of ironic that they propose that undertaking as an "easier" solution to the problem than the one in the article.

I think it's telling that the person who made this comment used km -- it's obvious they are not American, and know very little about Atlanta or about the suburbs around it or how people live there. I, on the other hand, have first-hand experience.

Don't ask me about it though, I don't read replies to my comments on this hellsite
I want an interactive prompt box with some example prompts and answers from the model and a comparison with GPT-4. My random guess is that this finetuned Mistral-7B is better at nothing or almost nothing than GPT-4 and that's why instead of the above, we got a table with a bunch of irrelevant metrics.
Luck had nothing to do with it. Nvidia is still at its heart an engineering company.

Intel was (and is trying to become again, an engineering company). It was run far too long by bean counters and business executives too far removed from engineering.

Tech development is not kind to incompetence. Now that shipping times for AI related hardware are out beyond year in many instances, the incumbent players have dominance - a position they're unlikely to loose for several years.
I have almost 35k uses of mine, so their list is ... lacking.

PreCheck costs $75 and is valid for 5 years.
Since the hashes are stored, you could order by hash. This would leave keys with the same hash unordered, so if you find an entry with equal hash but unequal key you have to keep probing, but that only matters on a full-hash collision.
Are they going to "lobotomize" ML models to make csam unthinkable for it, or are they going to teach it that csam is bad?
Hugged?
I'm not objecting to convince in favor of density because there isn't a choice to be made between the two. You can have convenience in low or high density development. The difference is in cost and complexity; high density development has all the convenience with fewer delivery costs
Is there something along these lines for physics experiments?
Proprietary and sensitive information. Personally, I use a self-hosted LLM because I don't trust how my conversations with hosted generative AI services will be used.
> It's important to output null / None instead of zero if you don't have any data!

This is one of my gripes with Go, it's hard to express none vs default value. With languages like Kotlin you can either do `null` or created a sealed class (sum-type like) that has to be explicitly checked for the sentinel value.

(Yes, you can use pointers, but that isn't exactly ergonomic.)

I think at this point the "10x other solutions" should be measured for the cost. If I can process, in perpetuity, 100s of millions of tokens for the cost that OpenAI can do for 10s of millions of tokens one time, that is already past the threshold.
Meanwhile in Europe facial recognition is commonplace and mandatory fingerprinting is coming in the next year.
Thank you for the kind answer. I appreciate it very much.

I believe I'm leading a healthy lifestyle (plenty of sport, good sleep except when i go out partying, a nutritious diet), so perhaps the factor I might optimize the most is motivation (though I do think I'm motivated, it's where I might be able to get the best ROI for my effort).
I used to keep a list like this on Quora: https://www.quora.com/What-are-the-best-secrets-of-great-pro... I used to update it a few times per year. Haven't done that recently. Maybe useful for someone else don't know.
Yeah, I was holding out on buying Ionic5 because of the lack of good charging network, even though I will only use it for occasional roadtrip. I will be charging at home for everyday use.

Now that everybody is in Tesla supercharger, Teslas are losing its appeal to me now.

When I was in grade school the old Macs at the school library had a clipboard history. It was always fun to open it up and see what other users dumped on there. Not sure why that didn't make the cut for macOS after all these years.
I can say that I have never heard of a single person not flying somewhere because of the TSA or other security ruined flying for them. Maybe it wasn't actually good and you're just blindly believing the nostalgia of older folks.
That's a lemon. That's unacceptable of course. We do know from millions of teslas sold that they work fine over the mass of cars. They are made by people, they'll have problems, they will break. But the sum of experiences is good outcome. The opposite seems to be the case with the ultium cars.

For what it's worth, contactless is ubiquitous in the UK – the experience is almost always seamless. The only exception being the odd reader with the antenna in a stupid place (these have gotten less common over time) or when your bank decides to force a pin check.
Multiple EU airports like Schiphol already do facial scanning+passport for automated entry for citizens of select countries; so does CBP on US entry from abroad. What's the issue, that it's a subcontractor?
It's not mutually exclusive, we can implement this while working on urban planning/re-design since that takes so long. But, we should start that in places already primed for it, like the straw man you mentioned, Downtown Atlanta parking lots.
Of course mistral7b is worse than GPT-4, but I can run mistral-7b at home.
It's as "false" as his premise of relating difficulty to intelligence. My point is the existence of an alternative statement that is equally and fuzzily true shows that this quote is not really that intelligent.

Reread my post. I literally said neither definition is absolutely true.
One huge benefit to VanJS is it's simplicity. It is far easier to fork than most other UI component libraries. I did it writing relementjs & rmemo. I encourage others to fork it as well. VanJS is well written. You get a reactive state management library (on the browser side) & a UI renderer in < 150 LoC. Very impressive. I encourage anyone interested to experiment with this. It has been very fruitful for me.

In case anyone is interested, here are my forks.

Except when you consider stopping in the road and preventing emergency vehicles from reaching emergency sites. And failing to respond to other emergency responder commands such as “move your tire off that that pedestrian’s head”
Thank you for the kind response. It's great to help me calibrate myself. Don't you think it would be great if we could constantly do type 1 work 16hs a day? We would have gotten out of the solar system by now hahaha!
They worked over a long-term to provide a solution (which was hardware plus a supportive ecosystem of software, note) and the problem came along presently. Or several problems, actually - gaming, crypto, now AI.
I think it's pretty fair to suggest that the United States (with very limited exceptions) is the least pedestrian-friendly country in the developed world.
Or ya know.. the pump, like has existed for decades..
Yeah, but I think this is less of a technical line than an emotional one.

For example: I wanted my personal assistant to track hygiene, which is a natural use case. But then you arrive at the natural conclusion that either a) the user needs to enter the data themselves (“I brushed my teeth and washed my face and took X medications at Y time”), or b) you need some sort of sensor in the bathroom, ranging from mics or radio sensors up to a tasteful camera. And a million subtle versions of (b) is where I see people going “no, that’s weird, it’s too much info all together”

The best estimate I've seen is that we need about 5-7 orders of magnitude more qubits and 1-2 orders of magnitude lower error rates:

It's big, but it really doesn't matter in practice. Yes, J1772 looks nicer and is easier to handle, but it can't pump as much wattage as CCS2, and in the end that's watt (:P) matters.
Is it that much worse? I was in my late teens by the time 9/11 happened. But I flew a lot both before and after that, and it still feels similar, except security is a bit worse (unless you have PreCheck and Global Entry, in which case it's actually quicker and easier than before). Once you're on the plane, the experience is mostly similar except you can't visit the cockpit and talk to the pilots anymore.

Don't get me wrong, the service has also gotten a lot worse: less legroom, shittier food, fewer drinks/snacks, etc., at least in the USA. But that's more just capitalism and airlines being greedy than the government doing anything.

It's also been my experience that American airlines are pretty bad across the board. The European and Asian ones are typically much nicer, and even their regional/budget airlines have very nice accommodations and check-in experiences compared to United, etc.
Supposedly, the line could move faster if we didn’t have to take shoes off.
Ultimately, I only really care about the outcomes. If people want to use Dear ImGui for their production apps and put in the work to make it, well, production-ready, I'm totally fine with that.
That video scares me on multiple levels, but shouldn't an autogyro be able to slow down horizontally and autorotate to the ground? Still not great over forest though.
Not a bowler, but this looks like the way you would expect things to work given how simple it is
Those seem to be two different things though.

But to you first point, I definitely fly less than I would if we got rid of TSA. They're a fucking nightmare in my city.

The panels do but that just means the far more efficient, next gen panels that come on the market five years from now will be purchased and used to replace the original set.

So in reality, the often cited “20-40 years of utilization” they offer is nice to say but has minimal practical impact on future costs.

Other than a means to gain advice, I've found this question a good gauge for collaboration compatibility.

I often ask it in interviews on both sides to give me insight into what someone currently values.

It's sort of like asking someone to define "better" be that in skill, or happiness or avoidance of pain.

My main interpretation of the post would be a high value placed on pragmatism, gained via a journey of experimentation. Put crudely there is no silver bullet but try a few for a while

I think point 10 is highly underrated in my opinion
"Absolutely ruined"? We still get value from flight, just now trade wait time and privacy for security. It's clearly still worth it for the vast majority of the world, see global flight stats.
Which, for the many people who don't travel frequently, is a non-trivial cost on top of expensive tickets.

there is also a tiny mention of it in the readme, but it's often hard to know how many times that's "shorthand" for "git based code forges" versus, as in this case, "we use the github api and others are on the backlog"
