Oh my mistake for lack of clarity, the specific program I am referring to in the UK has a mandated starting/1st year salary of $40K USD for high performing Oxbridge grads who understand startups. I'd gladly pay more.

I am open to paying anything up to $300k for key hires. However, the crux of my question is, what approach should I take, and what city should I take it in?
Would be nice to have an open source implementation of this.
It's a shame that we don't have open formulas in code form published by the government. The only way that I know how to do this reliably is using the web form provided by the CRA here: https://www.canada.ca/en/revenue-agency/services/e-services/...

As you can imagine, doing this by hand is quite painful and error-prone.
FastMail uses SpamAssassin, and I get less than one spam emails in my inbox a month, with essentially zero false positives (which is the tricky bit where gmail seems to fail – I'd rather have the occasional spam in my email than false positives).

In short: you can probably do better than 3-5 spams per week with SA.

The big problem is the entire thing is a beast to configure with all the documentation of a Babylonian cuneiform stone tablet.
No, because regular masks would not work for such situations.

IIRC many vending machines operate or operated on the magnetic properties of coins even. At least in my country before the Euro some did.

There are only several properties that can be easily distinguised from coins without complex digital processing: weight (and its distribution), sizes, conduction and ferromagnetism.

> FDIC insurance that secures up to a limit is itself poorly funded and incapable of covering the failure of a moderately sized bank

Can you clarify what you mean by "covering the failure of a moderately sized bank"? Bank is almost never "all the money is missing". Instead, it's usually something like "we have assets > deposits, but they're long term assets that can't be liquidated immediately so we can't pay all the depositors right this second", or "we have assets < deposits, but the gap isn't big enough that FDIC can't handle it".
Exactly, as was the previous one. Catching on to this stuff I see.
But the problem is not the accuracy, it's the temporal stability. GPS is accurate enough, but it's no good if the physical locations shift over time.

> Driving doesn’t require an advanced degree in physics. It’s mostly a mish mash of fairly mundane tasks.

Generally not wrong, but when it becomes non-mundane, it can become so in a hurry.

This is why I'm sometimes skeptical about statistics that say "x% of airplane crashes are human error". Well maybe, but by the time the humans get involved the automated systems have often thrown up their proverbial hands and digitally exclaimed "Jesus take the wheel".

I think having computers take over the mundane parts may help collision rates as people can get numbed and bored by the monotony.

One has to be careful about having the right level of automation and control for the given situation, as per the famous "Children of the Magenta Line" presentation:

* https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5ESJH1NLMLs

> “Children of the magenta line” has become shorthand for pilots who manage and monitor systems but lack the stick-and-rudder skills to fly the airplane with authority. You may hear it wielded as an epithet in a discussion of “real pilots” versus “kids these days.” But in many cockpits today, automation illiteracy may be as dangerous as automation dependency. Vanderburgh’s insights shouldn’t drive us to reject automation altogether, but rather put it in its proper place in our pilot toolkits. Just as you should hand-fly regularly to keep your stick-and-rudder skills sharp, you should also practice using the technology available in the aircraft you fly.

Or better yet something without any fake logos whatsoever that is even higher quality than the 'real' thing.

e.g. Even Louis Vuitton for their most expensive bags doesn't use the absolute highest quality leather, so there's room for improvement.
The reality is that in so many countries is that it is too expensive to have more kids than 1 or 2. You have both parents working, living in an expensive place, paying for day care, buying a bigger car, etc.. you end up needing to be well above middle class to actually afford 3-4 kids.. then when you factor in university, then you basically need to win the lottery or your kids end up with tons of debt. And in many cities in China you effectively are an immigrant in your own country trying to become a resident where you can access the cities better healthcare system and schools etc.. so people have a big incentive to want to live in the bigger more expensive cities. (Which ends up making it more likely people will have fewer kids)
This is how things are done. You specify the datum, coordinates, and time. Geodetic datums are time-dependent transformation functions. Any software that is recording points at the particular time called “now” and not either recording the coordinates and time, or reprojecting them to a meaningful reference datum at its epoch (origin in time), is bad.

What should you do when you just cannot understand somebody's accent?
How about the Brick Game? And that game might be the most played game ever all over the world.
Some books are a complete waste of time to read without retention. For example, there is no value to me in reading and forgetting a technical book on some piece of software that I only use infrequently but need to be reasonably competent with when I do use it. These books I'm reading purely for utility; if I don't gain that utility then reading it was pointless.

At the other end of the scale, I read fiction purely for enjoyment. Attempting to make any notes at all or to memorise what I'm reading would make the process unnecessarily tedious and defeat the purpose of it, while gaining me very little value.

In between these are non-fictional / narrative books which contain useful insights or information which I don't necessarily need for my work but aren't strictly only for entertainment purposes. Examples of this might include biographies or personal development / self help books. With these I'm not interested in exhaustively memorising everything, but neither do I want to completely forget the most valuable points. Here, a hybrid approach works best; perhaps some highlighting and more selective note-taking, with a few key points turned into Anki cards if I feel that I want to retain the information long term.

The problem with the article is that it proposes a single method ("a much more relaxed approach to knowledge consumption") no matter the context, whereas I would argue that you should adapt the method to each book depending on what your goal is in reading it.
Failing to understand what "Wordpress and php are negative value skills" even means. I'm pretty happy with the work I get paid for ;-)

> it _looks up_ stuff in a database of articles.

That is clearly not the case. There isn't anything like enough storage space in typical LLMs to maintain a "database" of all the training data.

If an article can be reproduced from an extremely sparse representation using a stochastic algorithm, that seems to me to be prima facie evidence that the article didn't contain much (or possibly, any) significant creative content to begin with.

Certainly I would expect to find less creativity in an allegedly factual news article than in a piece of acknowledged fiction.

Only creative works are copyrightable in the United States.

There are soi-disant "artists" who produce "artworks" that are (e.g.) nothing but a pure white rectangle. That doesn't make <div style="background-color:white;width:100%;height:100%;"></div> any kind of copyright infringement.

Not necessarily. Place a grid of receivers in fixed locations and observe their reported position. That grid is then the transform you need between the map when they were placed and the current state of the globe.

A question would be how many you need, but these movements are on a large scale and receivers are dirt cheap.

Culture is an extremely powerful force, one that is typically very difficult to detect (culture frowns upon self-criticism, forces the subject to be changed, moderators/experts to step in and enforce the Overton Window to restore order, etc).
Generally agreed.

In DC we had a similar change over. My complaint is just that it is incredibly tacky. It's much brighter than ambient lighting is.

Our metro system is facing a huge budget crunch (the Feds stopping COVID money, and the 2.5 states involved have been very unhelpful at providing funding). I get that advertising is an appealing revenue stream. I just wish we could do it in a way that wasn't so rambunctiously over the top; I wish we could preserve some level of taste.

I don't know; for several years afterwards it seemed to be a given that it was a real thing, and efforts to avoid disaster were well directed and successful and that IT folks "did the world a solid".

I choose to take it as a (rather dispiriting) lesson about humanity that only ~20 years later there's such scepticism. Certainly explains why the cranks cast doubt on moon landings and other historical events.
There is already have a blend of exactly what you desire in the US. But to answer your question, in the case of github copilot it does the checking for you, so no you don't need a list of all the sources.

Regarding you wanting to opt-out of training, that's fine you can already do that for many large models. But likely doing that will become the equivalent of putting your works in a safe where no one but you will ever end up reading them or finding them.

Banning all AI training is the equivalent to banning search with any modern search engine.

edit: Also, note that you are already on the hook for not infringing patents, which if you were to try to do "perfectly" like you imply with copyright, then you need to search/read/understand the entire body of published patents. A task that is clearly not possible. Yet patent law functions (unfortunately).
I love the analysis. But I hate that the 'fixed' email ends up being wordier for no reason at all.

Brevity has value. Having to bloat content (an email to get past anti-spam; a cooking blog to rank better within Google SEO; ...) brings back memories of high-school english papers, or the modern equivalent ChatGPT.

In Boston in the '90s and early 2000s, an out of order parking meter meant you could park for free. There was a sensor in the coin slot to detect jams which would in turn put the meter out of order. If you ripped off the flip up lid from a Dunkin Donuts coffee cup and inserted it into and removed it from the coin slot, the meter would go out of order. It was almost as if that's what the Dunkin engineers designed it for. It worked every time.

Many a cold morning in Boston my father would prefer to pay the $1 for his Dunkin coffee than pay for parking as we ran errands in the city. A trail of disabled meters laid in our wake. Not the best lesson for 8 year old me but a funny memory nonetheless. RIP Dad.

While I respect your viewpoint, my personal experience significantly differs from that.

My familiarity with speed-reading is limited because I never deemed it worth, as I think reading should mostly be a slow pleasure, but Anki, like any well-designed spaced repetition routine, algorithm, or application, got me VERY far. I returned to high school as an adult and later attended university, which provided me with a variety of reference points to compare study techniques. Initially, I used conventional methods, but eventually, -- a few months in --, I discovered Anki. Not only did I start ranking among the top students, but I also completed both degrees in less time than typically required; something I never managed to do, no matter how hard I tried.

Recently, I've been experimenting with various study techniques, free from the constraints of formal education that could potentially bias the outcome, and I've observed a significant decline in my performance when I deviated from Anki or spaced repetition in general. Conversely, my performance improves when I reincorporate it. Mind you that I still have to put the required effort, carefully selecting what to memorize, and designing it well. You can't get away from that.

Sorry for any confusion. About that Photography YouTuber link, he has one YouTube channel, and he uses that one channel to pump out a ton of videos about a few main topics: namely various Philosophy + Metaphysics stuff, Photography, and Physics/Magnetism.
