H index? I see people caring far more about the quality of the conference for your paper. Paper at NeurIPS or ACL or EMNLP will be worth more than papers at 2nd rate venues. Usually researchers doing real SOTA work haven’t even had time for their other work to be cited heavily yet
The magazine is given to you for free, you don't pay for it.

Sorry, but data allowances are NOT free. In the past I have had data allowances of 2GB per month which works out to just 60MB per day on average. It doesn't take many 5 MB advertisements to completely use up that small data allowance.

Now supposing you have to actually choose whether to download a movie or to download hundreds of unwanted ads, which choice will YOU make?
I believe their point is that only sites that are tracking you are legally required to give you a choice.
Windows Managers, such as i3 and Sway do, if I understand your request.
Compare the trajectory of the US to other industrialized countries.

It remains to be seen if autonomous driving systems are actually safe.

What a strange, leading expression. The phrase "[i]t remains to be seen if" is almost meaningless and highly editorial.

Alternative example:

It remains to be seen if microplastics will cause higher rates of cancer.

It remains to be seen if organic peanut butter will cause lower rates of cancer.

What is your reaction to this data published by Waymo? Do you agree that many would reasonably conclude that this particular AV system was safe in these cities? I say yes. I write this as someone who is cautiously optimistic about AV. Waymo seems genuinely lower on the hyper compared to other AV companies. I hope they continue this path of higher transparency to encourage other AV companies to do the same.
The life that you thought you wanted in your twenties and thirties might not necessarily be the one that you (or your family) will wish you had wanted.
Housing costs are driven by local supply issues vastly more than big national buyers. They're just swooping in because the massive undersupply has made them a good asset to own in the past 15 years.
Could it be that they disclosed it to anyone who was willing to buy their services/sign their contract? They seem to be a business, not some students from academy.
Ask HN: Are there any open source dual-issue RISC-V processor
AFAK, there are quite a few open source risc-v core implementations, some among them are dual-issue, such as swerv-eh2 which developed by Western Digital, and biriscv which is personal development.
Could anyone provice more open source implementations for learning?
There's an awesome talk by someone in the overwatch team in youtube. It's about ECS but it has a big section on networking that had some useful tips.

I use the term liability because the only code that has zero maintenance cost is code that doesn't exist.

If you have a viable solution to a problem that doesn't require code, then you still get the value from that solution without the burden of maintenance.

Classic case in point: your in-house infra platform on K8S is an incredible liability no matter how much value it adds, because it's a means to an end for scaling and serving your product. Or a cost-centre, in other terms. You could just as well host on a collection of SaaS and offload a large portion of the maintenance cost onto the provider.

Rather than writing code that is easy to maintain (read: easy to keep), it's optimal to write code that is easy to discard. The latter is a lot more challenging than piling on architecture and in some sense it's akin to having illiquid code (stuff you can't get rid of very easily), and liquid code (stuff you can get rid of easily).
I never made an argument, I asked a really simple question that the other poster spent this entire thread avoiding answering
That's not half the battle. Undoing the zoning is 90% of the battle.

Cycle paths can be added at a step by step basis and keeping some gaps isn't an issue and if some paths aren't used much initially there isn't a big problem. Also sometime a single line painted on the road is enough for a start.

If businesses settle in dezoned area they need to attract an audience quickly, but the will be less attractive than the hyperstore or mall for car drivers and depend on a bunch of other businesses in walkable distance. Financing the period till it works can be tough and will cycle through a few businesses till a working mixture is established.

And even then: In the car centric land usage, distances are too far quickly for quickly walking over to the bakery for fetching bread for breakfast, 15 minutes as a guidance for reaching everyday shops, doctor offices, a bar, ... density has to be increased. But people won't give up their yards.
Nor price them.
That isn't true, DRM won in games thanks to dedicated DRM companies coming around. We still have DRM free games that you can download, but some games take forever to crack. The same thing will happen in the adblocker wars in the end, it is much easier to automate systems that takes too much work for volunteers to crack. Not every company will be able to afford that themselves, but if they can buy a proprietary system to do it they will.
This has been apparent to anyone who has taken both. Phenylephrine is garbage. I haven't taken a decongestant since pseudoephedrine went behind the counter.
We can’t possibly have transportation infrastructure like Europe until we have similar zoning laws (which would do away with the separation of homes and businesses into distinct areas) and similar population density.

Until we put shops very close to homes, end the huge big-box retailer’s death grip on everyone’s spending habits, and learn to live leaner, European style public transport will never work.

We put shopping centers far away from homes, and we put homes all over the effing place, making public transport effectively impossible to get right for even a small percentage of the population.
An ex-First Republic Bank cloud engineer was sentenced to two years in prison for causing more than $220,000 in damage to his former employer's computer network after allegedly using his company-issued laptop to watch pornography.

Miklos Daniel Brody, 38, of San Francisco, pleaded guilty in April to two charges of violating the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act after obtaining information from and intentionally damaging a protected computer, and one charge of making false statements to a government agency.

In addition to spending two years behind bars, the judge ordered Brody to pay $529,266.37 in restitution and serve three years of supervised release after he's out of jail.
In early 2000s, I switched to using codeine for cough after seeing commentary that is the best treatment for cough/lungs without any bad side effects. That person, a physician noted that all others will have some effect.

I usually pick these cough syrups with codeine when traveling overseas, and has worked extraordinary well, including for my then young children. They are recovering by the 2nd or 3rd day after sleeping though the night without coughing. Obviously children dosage. I think sleep was the medicine.
I haven’t owned a car since 2017. I didn’t need one living in NYC and then I bike around my suburb. My wife does have a car which we use for shopping and taking the kids places but I’m trying to hold off on buying a second one. I really wish bike culture was more of a thing; I do see other bikers on the road, but anytime I go anywhere with my bike I’m often the only one that biked there.
For every 10 people I chat with, maybe 1 ends up falling back to SMS. Why do I want to tell the other 9 that we should all use Facebook? And how can I with a straight face suggest they are actually better than Apple?

Your argument works pretty well when the hate for Apple is greater than the hate for Facebook. In my experience it's mostly the other way around.
Building more housing. Building a lot more housing would make a much larger difference.

In terms of specific government actions, that's upzoning all residential areas and approving plans by default with chance for challenges if they fit within established (reasonable) requirements.
Idris, Coq, F#/OCaml, Scheme. C# is also nice, and has the significant advantage that people will pay me to write it....

I was being a bit facetious, Python is perfectly fine for writing programs and software. The problem is the AI/ML dialect of Python. I don't like working in domains that involve big 3rd-party ecosystems and libraries[1]. I prefer doing something bespoke for a smaller organization, even if that means solving a smaller problem.

[1] Interacting with tediously-but-necessarily detailed libraries and programming frameworks is an area where ChatGPT is genuinely useful - codegen which boils down to "translate this mathematical English into PyTorch." So at some point I might go back and actually program some of this stuff.
Transparent processor found in vintage HP computer
A similar sentiment to other commenters in this thread... Why re-invent something incredibly resource-consuming like building specialized tube boxes?

If I were to invest into something today it would be medium size (about a tall van size) autonomous containers that can drive at night within city limits and drop off small reusable containers at delivery points such as apartment buildings. Case in point: Luxer One is a fairly common setup in SF today, the next step would be to stop delivering individual packages and, instead, deliver daily boxes for the whole building.
SCOTUS ruling changed a lot

Why?

If tomorrow Google turns next-level evil in terms of privacy / steering the web, Microsoft will have forked Chromium within a week, and everyone (Edge, Brave, Vivaldi, etc) will swap their upstream immediately.

People have this illusion that Google has an ironclad grip on Chromium, but they don’t. It’s maximally permissively licensed, the only reason they get to decide much is because they put in (pay) the dev hours.

I am fine with the downvotes but if that because I am wrong, please tell me how.

I have yet to see a convincing simulation of how a would be hyperloop would behave of one were to poke a hole in it. And by convincing situations, I mean one with an appropriate model, that is a very long tube engineered to hold a vacuum.

I've switched to Firefox after a long time on Chrome in preparation to avoid the Manifest V3 changes and it isn't all sunshine and rainbows. Overall performance feels slower (although not drastically so, they've made big strides since last I used it) and some newer features (Nvidia Super Resolution is the big one for me) work only half the time.
Whey Protein, Casein Protein or Whey Protein Isolate is a more like-for-like replacement for milk than a plant based alternative.

There’s also nothing inherently wrong with consuming fat, it’s more than twice the energy per gram compared to carbs and protein. If you are bulking or need to consume more calories, there’s no issue with drinking milk or using it in smoothies.
The open secret is that top-quartile R1 CS faculty positions aren't coveted anymore and don't attract the best like they used to.

The choice is now between increasingly tenuous/meaningless tenure after 5-10 years and a $500K/year lower bound for 10-12 years. That choice is... not a hard choice for anyone who values intellectual freedom. And the right answer sure as shit isn't the faculty position.

A good 50% of those faculty chasing chasing NeurIPS papers are doing so because at least once before going up for tenure they will apply for positions at big tech. They end up coming on not just non-executive, but often outside of management and at the bottom of the (Top IC)-[1-2] total comp band. If they net an offer they'll usually leave. The major barrier to an offer is usually ego and "is this personal actually humble enough to be useful to other people".

The people of Singapore pay a minimum of 100K for the privilege of owning a bottom tier car and the demand for cars there is overwhelming and insatiable, despite the world class and extremely clean mass transit systems.

The reality is that cars are freedom and still superior from a continence and comfort standpoint. Americans are insanely privileged to have cheap, powerful cars.
> After three years of constant inflation

It was like a 14 month burst, and it's been over since last summer. Here's the chart: https://www.bls.gov/charts/consumer-price-index/consumer-pri...

And yes, it includes changes in package size.

I genuinely don't understand the doomslinging impulse on this. It's like people actually want inflation to be worse than it actually was, as if it makes them Right on the Internet or something. But it's wrong. You're wrong.
Is it truly turned off after taking these measures? Is there anything we can do to verify that Google's Privacy Sandbox is not actively tracking us?

It's reminiscent of turning off Bluetooth and WiFi in the Settings on iPhones, only to find out they still emit radio waves.
In the poorest countries the most common substitutes for driving are either just not traveling long distances or busses, not trains. Working train networks are very rare in third world countries. So, yeah, they are jumping on cars and highways, just not cars they own personally.
This train DRM is crazy. At the beginning of the month they found geofences

> We (@redford, @mrtick and I) have reverse engineered the PLC code of NEWAG Impuls EMUs. These trains were locking up for arbitrary reasons after being serviced at third-party workshops. The manufacturer argued that this was because of malpractice by these workshops, and that they should be serviced by them instead of third parties.

> We found that the PLC code actually contained logic that would lock up the train with bogus error codes after some date, or if the train wasn't running for a given time. One version of the controller actually contained GPS coordinates to contain the behaviour to third party workshops.

> It was also possible to unlock the trains by pressing a key combination in the cabin controls. None of this was documented.

> The key unlock was deleted in newer PLC software versions, but the lock logic remained.

> After a certain update by NEWAG, the cabin controls would also display scary messages about copyright violations if the HMI detected a subset of conditions that should've engaged the lock but the train was still operational.

> The trains also had a GSM telemetry unit that was broadcasting lock conditions, and in some cases appeared to be able to lock the train remotely.

Legalize biking on the sidewalk nationwide. I don’t want to bike on the road for any reason. Bikers have far far lower chances of hurting pedestrians than cars do of bikers.
You’re being selectively reductive.

Got it, thanks for looking into it more closely. I didn't actually finish reading the paper, and missed that this was in section 3: "Subsequent fine-tuning was conducted on the MOSS finetune dataset [36], which is tailored for dialogue systems."

Agreed this almost certainly isn't faked, but the validity of using this dataset at all seems questionable.
I also just don't understand how it's profitable to run those ads in the US, given how niche some of the conditions are...like I'm pretty sure that if you have cancer, you're going to be asking your doctor about a lot of things anyway. What's the point of advertising cancer / lupus / drugs that extremely specific conditions that <0.1% of the US population have?
"If the pool of candidates doesn't itself have the race or sex proportions that you're hoping to hire, then you intrinsically have to lower your standards at least for the underrepresented group."

This is uninteresting thinking. If the pool doesn't have enough qualified candidates, you expand the pool. That requires more effort. That's good effort that should be taken. It's lazy to do otherwise.
Are you referring to tablets or nasal spray?
tldr you cannot gradient descend to find the optimal human being.

this reminds me a lot of the recent book The Fund about Bridgewater Capital, where they tried to come up with hundreds of metrics to rate each employee on, and then they made employees constantly rate each other on an iPad with this custom software they spent massive sums of money building. If you didnt rate other people you got fired. After years and years of this it was just all abandoned, complete and total waste.

A bit off-topic, but still in the general domain of the future of transportation...

Is anyone building autonomous medium size containers today (about van-sized)? Basically a container without a cabin, fairly slow moving, very conservative in terms of traffic, that can drive at night within city limits and drop off reusable smaller containers with packages for entire apartment complexes? This seems to me like a reasonable solution for where we are headed in terms of buying everything online. Many apartment buildings in SF already have Luxer One systems, now we need to start delivering packages in bulk daily (or N-times per week), instead of making individual trips.
Great work! What’s your social media platform? Curious about your tech stack — and what content/interest/community you’re serving.
Are the mutual funds immune from supply & demand economics or are they just taking advantage of a shortage that means real estate prices go inexorably up? Maybe we could just increase supply and then the mutual funds won't be so interested in buying up the supply. Although I don't know how that's bad to begin with -- it's not like everyone wants to own their own home.
It's unfortunate that students and employees don't get time off to enjoy the weather then.

That helps, but It's still meaningless if your machine has Intel or AMD CPUs running Windows or macOS.
Fellow grownup geeks I'd worked with in the U.S. didn't know what the term ''Meccano'' meant, but sure remembered what "Erector Sets" were. Same product. I remember that our home first aid kit came in handy when I was building the impractical with Meccano.

This da Vinci example is a true celebration of Meccano.
I've been rocking 4k48"120hz for a couple of years now (an LG C1 48").

It's game changing, and the OLED shines when I do color sensitive work. It feels like having a huge canvas in front of me. Initially I tried doing fancy window locking arrangements and I still do that occasionally. But over time I moved towards treating it like a big desk that I can resize all my windows on as needed.

However, I would probably move down in size a little next time given the choice. 43" sounds sweet. The issue, at least two years ago, was that these smart TVs are massively subsidized. Mine cost about $1000 I think, probably cheaper now. While similar specs on slightly smaller monitor would be considerably more expensive.

EDIT: I just checked and the 43" 144hz OLED monitors I can quickly find are $1500+, while the updated version of my screen, the LG C2 48", is on sale in a local shop for $600.

This screen is a TV but it's still by far the best monitor I've ever had. The only minor problem is that low brightness and reflectivity of the screen means I had to reposition my desk, and it still becomes an issue for about 30 minutes every day when the sun moves to just the right position to bounce and reflect off the wall behind me on to the screen.
So don't force them to.

And don't force them not to, either.

The biggest advantage of C-style polymorphism vs, say, C++ is that it actually offers much better encapsulation.
