> If someone ordered ten of them, they would be much less expensive.

There's only a single "someone" who could put in a $150B order for electricity generation, but they also take the stance that they won't ever do that, since they are not in the business of picking winners and losers. That is, of course, the US government, and they do pick winners and losers all the time through tax policy, and they did incentivize nuclear quite a bit in the IRA. Still not enough.
Money is a proxy for user value and it is in Amazon's best interest for the customer to continually act upon these recommendations. If Amazon fails to deliver user value customers will be less willing to continue paying.
Are you referring to the U6 unemployment figure and not the U4 number reported on in the article?

U6 is 7%[0] for the month of December 2023.

Sentence Transformers documentation describes this problem as “asymmetric search”. Some of their models are fine tuned to better handle short queries matched to longer documents. (https://www.sbert.net/examples/applications/semantic-search/...)

Alternatively, you could mean pool (average) the document embeddings for the most popular click results for a given query and use that as the query embedding.
I have written a lot of Rust, and I am describing something different. Rust lets you write code that cares a lot about memory (with lifetimes etc.) with either compiler assistance or without. What I am describing is code that doesn't much care about memory and would be happy to sacrifice performance for it.
what do you mean? There is no equivalency here though in terms of safety issues.
On a recent Moody's economics podcast they did not think this was the case. Rather this job growth in government was more about back-filling positions they had struggled to fill when the private sector had been pushing up wages and pulling people out of government jobs.
> I have had situations where, even after a few meetings where I felt I was just “talking about how things are” the other person left HATING me.

This is very familiar to me. There are things nobody talks much about because they are obvious and everybody knows them already. There are also things that nobody talks about because everyone is lying to themselves about it and actually believe are not true (though some part of their brain unconsciously knows it). If you aren't one for the lies, you can mistake one of the latter for the former, and you will think that you are just stating the obvious, but really you just stepped on a landmine. Has happened to me many times.
* GNU tools are often bloated, with extensions that the vast majority of people do not need or want. While we don't have quite the same focus on "must be small binary size" as Alpine, needless waste is still needless waste.

* GNU tools use gnulib, which is frequently incompatible with musl, and is a moving target for both building packages and passing tests. The number of patches I've personally had to write to make gnulib-based software work at all is dizzying.

* GNU projects have a lot of odd contribution hurdles: I've still never managed to connect with GRUB maintainers despite trying the Savannah page and the mailing lists. It was a chore to upstream other things.
It could have been a surge of temps at USPS to handle holiday mail volume.
The Jones act still is for the reasons I outlined. It shelters them from competition, and it also outlaws partial outsourcing, too.

At a hypothetical example, consider if Thailand passed the equivalent of the Jones act but for computers. At the moment, Thailand produces a lot of hard disks. There are used all over the world, but also in Thai computers. With protectionism in place, Thailand would produce some complete computers for domestic use. But they would be just as abysmal and expensive as American ships. The overall size of the industry would likely be smaller than just the hard disk branch alone was.

(This example worked better before SSD were widespread.)

In the real world right now, a Thai entrepreneur can start building computers easily, because she's allowed to source parts from anywhere around the world. And Thai computer users are allowed to let foreigners service their computers, too.
Using the standard definition of IQ (mean 100, std dev 15), 145 is +3 standard deviations, so that should be in the top 0.135%, which is consistent with the 2-3 students per career number.

I'm not sure where the article got the 1.3% number, it could be either a decimal point error, or this could be a specific test that's primarily given to gifted students and so both numbers could be correct.
The show's plot is lously based on the second movie, Futureworld, that, as in the show, takes places years after the incident at the park that got it shut down.

Also the idea of the hosts trying to run from the park disguised by real humans is taken from FW.

And there the similarities end.

The POV is quite different from the Westworld movie.

I would say that they are different like D.A.R.Y.L. and The Terminator are.

Same setup, but different settings, era, technology, storytelling and overall tone.
Fixing known problems as you learn of them is maintenance is it not? That's just as important as changing out the lubricants and checking that the working parts are working.
I thought so too and we actually tried that first. After talking to about a hundred customers, I heard them resoundingly prefer per-org pricing because the flat cost is predictable within their own deal structure. I think the reason is that user counts can vary dramatically and b2b saas businesses are primarily driven/measured by the number of customers, not end users.
Possibly another way of expressing your point: after writing my above comment, I found myself wondering how much a system that kept these UAF pointers alive longer (to eliminate the UAFs, e.g a GC) would actually reduce the attack surface -- the UAF-ish bugs are still bugs, and code poking at a GC-preserved object that the rest of the code doesn't really expect to still be alive might itself be pretty fraught.
Apologies if it seems I'm replacing "true" with "objectively" and "reality." This wasn't my intent. I used them with their dictionary definitions, and what I wrote ought to make sense if taken that way.

Your argument here seems to defend the validation of people's feelings. If my point is accurate, you argue, then how people feel doesn't matter. Instead, consider what makes people feel bad about their general situation; if the cause of low sentiment isn't economic, then an improved economic situation
won't improve sentiment.

It's important to tease out these things. Lumping everything together may allow us to "legitimize" negative feelings, but it doesn't give us a clear view of the causes, prohibiting our ability to consider viable improvements.
That is not at all accurate. The MAX has two AoA sensors from day one.
Nitpick: 0.3% will be outside three standard deviations to either side, with 0.13% above and 0.13% below.
Read the actual CBC article before this hysterical blog post.

This is just your average case of bureaucratic process, where they flag on technical truths (that the kind of conviction has similarities to any existing law in Canada, no matter how tenuous), and then the applicant explains the situation and it gets resolved.

Yes, it sucks that it caused such a situation in this obvious case, and it's stressful as hell, but the whole point of the explanation part is to keep edge cases from falling through the cracks.
> How can job gains be in government?

By gaining more employees than they lost.

> Does that mean size of government is growing?

In the literal sense of increasing staffing, yes.

https://www.bls.gov/news.release/pdf/empsit.pdf

> Government employment increased by 52,000 in December. Employment continued to trend up in local government (+37,000) and federal government (+7,000). Government added an average of 56,000 jobs per month in 2023, more than double the average monthly gain of 23,000 in 2022.
AdaptLLM appeared to be just as capable.
I suspect these educators would probably also be impressed by the intellect of a LLM trained on philosophy books and classic literatures.

Wow, its answers are of a high level quality!

When people read books on certain topics, they start talking the talk.

E.g. “The fatal flaw, as I understand it, in Kant’s deontological ethical system is his disregard of consequentialism.”

Did the kid come up with that himself, or is he just regurgitating, verbatim, a judgment penned by some author he read somewhere? How much of it does he understand?

Might it not be that Georgios is just playing with philosophy and literature in the way, in Billy Joel's "Piano Man", the "waitress is practicing politics"? I.e. picking up talking the talk to sound intelligent and informed. E.g. memorizing some political opinion overheard from one group of customers of the bar, and repeating that later within earshot of another group.
I see. Allow me to clarify my statement. This NPR article has zero links. I think my use of “outbound” was improper to a degree. I was referring to links that lead off of the page. A few articles that I clicked through on CNN have links, but they may not be regarded as “outbound” links because they are all appear to just be links to other CNN stories. The few MSNBC articles I checked out at least have what I’m assuming are proper outbound links in that some lead to entirely different websites.

I’m not trying to refute you. I understand why a publication would prefer not to link to other sites (and I commend MSNBC or choosing to do so according to my observations).

I’m more so intrigued by NPR not linking to anything, anywhere. Especially not a source. The numbers come directly from “the Labor Department” and the rest of the article is sentiment.

I wanted to facetiously parrot Elon Musk’s “NPR is state-run media” claims, but if the attempt at humor were to fall flat I’d hate for the more serious observation to not be considered.
The unemployment metric has flawed and inherent attrition and does not reflect the actual number of unemployed. That’s why it works so well as a vanity metric - it has gravity pulling the numbers down.
I live in a super high lightning area. No matter how good your protection, if you get struck directly, everything is fried. But that's not your biggest problem as you'll rarely if ever get hit directly. The electronics killer is static electricity that builds up everywhere during an electric storm. For this your DB and plug lightning/surge protectors work quite well. The rod on the roof helps preventing direct strikes, good grounding helps with static build-up. You can even put a copper wire around the perimeter of your property to equalise/move the static electricity. Nothing helps when you get struck directly.
Does "government" include teachers, police, and fire-fighters?
Which in itself is ironic as the US government spends a large portion of it's current time accusing China of the same thing. As usual you should always expect projection when shade is being thrown.

At least in China when greed kills people there are consequences for executives: https://www.theguardian.com/world/2009/nov/24/china-executes...

Chinese system has a huge number of flaws but one thing it gets right is the government stands above corporations.

Corporate control over government is the path to dystopia, it's how the climate situation got out of control, why the drug epidemics keep coming back, why obesity is killing the country, etc. etc.

Occasionally people wake up and fight back for a moment but it's always fleeting because the deck is stacked against the people. The corporates have the money for the research and "lobbying" aka bribes to keep regulation at bay for decades usually.

Corporate greed is all consuming and thus regulation is meant to exist as it's counter-balance. When the corpos are the ones regulating themselves well... you can't be surprised when this is the result.

What do you call 8 bad cops and two good cops sitting at a table? Ten bad cops. Actual good cops wouldn’t associate with bad cops.
My kids are approaching school age and I worry about them for this reason.

Our state is getting school districts to remove all advanced classes and gifted programs. All in the name of equity. Last year they got rid of all of the advanced math classes in our district because the number of minority students was too low.

Thankfully when I grew up we had enough money for me to go to a private school where they had all of these advanced programs. I would have gone crazy without them.

I'm a hardcore liberal. But... It feels like there's a brand of liberal out there now that has a totally different idea of what equity is and how we should get there to the point where I find I need to sometimes fight on the side of the more conservative parents in our school district. I don't understand how educating smart people became something that my own side hates and fights against.
Love this library. Maintainer answers GitHub issues too!
Misses the angle that there are people with something important to say who have trouble writing - LLMs will help get them out there. An LLM can take some poorly expressed insights and developmentally edit the text.
Pathetic that this ragebait has ended up on HN. I am Canadian. There is no sweeping authoritarianism here.
The downside is that it's a supervised technique, so you need to already know what you're looking for. It would be nice to have an unsupervised tool that could list out all the things the network has learned.
The basic theory of the marketing blog is that SEO is like playing the lottery, that is, every page you have is another chance to get a hit. If you've written 50 blog posts about your product, that's 10x more pages than if you just made a brochure site with 5 pages. Nobody is going to link one of your brochure pages but getting links and social media shares for blog posts is a lot easier.

I would recommend looking at LFP restricted to 25-54 in addition to this. For example:

Thats only true if after 6 months you give up and stop looking for work. If you have looked for work (very broadly defined, even just asking friends counts) in the past four weeks you are counted as part of the labor force.

Agreed.

I don’t recall advocating for anyone to “settle”, which I personally think is a recipe for disaster.

Exactly. People act surprised when labor force participation has declined since 2008, at least until they’re told when the first baby boomer hit retirement age.

Sadly if you're an academic it's a game you must play. My students need papers so that they get jobs and I need them to get grants.

It's infuriating trying to log in with id.me as someone who lives outside the states. Your foreign documents keep getting denied with little reason as to why, so you have to keep uploading and trying again and again until you please whatever poor soul is mindlessly looking at pictures of documents all day.
I know how it works (what I wrote is technically correct); there's no need to be condescending. Anyway.

> Git does delta compression, so in fact it does usually store diffs on disk.

Yep. The comment you replied to originally was pointing out that snapshots and diffs are isomorphic, so i'm glad we all seem to agree.

> What the user actually operates on in the repository are snapshots

They don't, though. Git doesn't show you the tree IDs in normal operation, and you can't actually make commits that point to specific trees (snapshots) without unusual commands.

> it actually goes further and is using three-way merge for better conflict resolution. It works on snapshots, not diffs

It doesn't really matter what it's working on, the best mental model to understand cherry-picking and rebase is that of applying diffs. Can you (in general) even explain things like rebase and cherry-pick without the terminology of diffs? The git manual doesn't bother.
and if you look at the industries where jobs were added in December 90% of them were directly or indirectly tied to government deficit spending. If/when the government is forced to cut spending you are going to see a lot of job losses

When I was in school, there wasn't a framework for what is more recently referred to as "twice exceptional." This means that a student is gifted and disabled. ADHD and autism fall into this category.

Gifted students have different needs, and the school environment does not force them to develop the skills they need to succeed as an adult.

Twice exceptional students tend to use a lot of energy just trying to exist, which also prevents skill development. They look like smart students who "don't apply themselves", even if they are putting on their best effort.

wtf
I know it's five hours later and this question has already spawned dozens of responses, but it's worth thinking and speaking clearly if we're trying to arrive at a solution for something. We can start by saying exactly what we're talking about—how do you make what different? Because you mention npm "and their policies" but then switch gears and talk about "is-odd", which is not a policy issue. It's rather something else entirely.

If you want answers, state clearly what _specific_ problem you're trying to solve. Whatever the solution to it might be, vague and fuzzy questions—while magnets for chatter since they can stand in for whatever someone wants to read out of them—are not the way to get there.

(You could say that this is needlessly tedious because everyone already knows what we're talking about, but that this isn't true is exactly my position. It's certain that something like half the people reading, thinking, and writing are have in mind one thing, while the other half are thinking of another—and the third half are thinking about something different from either of those. We're also programmers, so dealing with tedium and the constraints of having to be explicit should be second nature.)
> I'm a hardcore liberal. But... It feels like there's a brand of liberal

It's definitely not a simple dichotomy. But yes, liberals who want everyone and everything to be mediocre have the loudest voices right now.
> Not to say that npm shouldn't have had namespaces by default, but I think there's good reason not to blindly do everything the way the Java community did.

I'm not saying that they should have blindly copied Java, but they should have had something.
