I presented some facts about demographics, and my opinion about what the curtains article intended. You presented innuendo and speculation about my motives and personality, concluding I have a leftist agenda, so subtly deployed that I'm gaslighting here in public.

If I actually intended a veiled American leftist agenda in my choice of words I would have used African-American or BIPOC, don't you think? My use of "Black" to contrast with the article's use of "white," dashed off in a comment thread that will influence no one, must mean something, and I have to admire your determination to dig through the layers of obfuscation I cleverly laid on. I could try to dig up common usage from the '70s, when I learned to write in school, and when "Black" got capitalized and I got told by teachers (Americans, and leftists, no doubt) to write it that way. Or maybe I misremember -- that was decades ago, after all, and capitalization of words I rarely had occasion to write or think carefully about might have got mixed up in my head. These days someone with an actual leftist political agenda trolling HN comments would write BIPOC, but I don't want to spoil your conspiracy.

My children sometimes try to correct my usage so I don't use words I learned in my youth and embarrass myself, or offend someone, or trigger amateur semioticians I encounter online.

Here we are, with you accusing me of promoting a leftist agenda after I started arguing in this thread that the article about curtains doesn't use "white" in a racist sense, and that Americans aren't any more racist than anyone else. Kind of an odd way to argue what you accuse me of, but honestly you lost me a while back, and now you're just engaging in elder abuse.

Thanks for the analysis and careful parsing. I'll circle back to my original point: the article has nothing to do with race, it's about curtains (or lack of) as a class status display. The authors of the almost tongue-in-cheek article carelessly chose a neighborhood they could refer to as "white" so people like me could spread out on the internet with our leftist biased gaslighting in order to... I don't know, you lost me somewhere, I'm not sure what I was trying to accomplish, but I'm sure you can tell me.

And this right here allows you to take any Christian, point to something sinful that they appear to be doing, and claim that they're not really Christian.

FEATURE REQUEST :)

Would it be possible to have option+click+drag create multiple cursors where you drag and not a selection with cursor at the end? Basically, the behaviour that Sublime Text has—Sublime Text's multiple cursors are, frankly, awesome.

I have found shift+option+drag to create a rectangle, but no way to create vertical lines of cursors through lines of text, and my favourite—drag down to the right of your code to put cursors at the end of every line. I use that all the time: scrape to the right hit ctrl+a to get to the start of a line, cut out and replace text, ctrl+e to the end, add more text etc. Really useful for turning data into code.

Option+click+drag is one of the most useful features of Sublime Text and my muscle memory is stuck to it — to the point where I keep Sublime Text around purely for the feature (well, this, the fantastic sort/permute lines options, and the live-highlight of regex searches that give you instant feedback of whether your regex is working correctly). Sublime Text is where I do all my data formatting, and where I test every regex before using it in my code.

Some contexts: South Korean labor laws have employee protection to the level close to EU. Basically you cannot fire employees without strong, urgent business justifications and you need to do best efforts to avoid layoff. Also you gotta negotiate with labor union if there's any with the majority of its employees, not sure if this is applicable to this case though, as the union seems small.

This is quite a headache for employers, so most companies begin with voluntary/recommended resignation and you're typically going to have a good number of employees who's okay to accept that with good severance packages. The problem is that Google doesn't want to give it. I think >$100B cash reserve is meant to be something, but their execs might have different opinions?
Well in the Ai/ML era maybe “models or gtfo” is better. Training data is just common crawl for half these LMs.
Surely implicit in the statement is "all 2-point conversions in the 4th quarter by the same team" since we are comparing 3 possible 2-point conversions in the 4th quarter by the same team. (2pt conversion when down by 8, 2pt conversion when down by 2, 2pt conversion when down by 1).

The original intent of the program seems to be a quid pro quo, where the IRS promises a non-compete with the tax preparation industry [1] in exchange for free federal tax prep for 70% of U.S. taxpayers [2].

As of 2019-12-26, the IRS no longer promises the non-compete [3], perhaps so it could start the Direct File pilot [4].

Money.

How much do you spend on eng to earn a buck (eng value, infrastructure). Impact of your next project on the bottom line. How much can you save by making a change.

So many bullshit features from engineers, and product people that have FUCK ALL impact on the bottom line. But hey they made you happy, or looked good on your resume to get you the next job...
Right but why should “the populace” even need to be aware of the problem? If the people with political power believe in these principles themselves shouldn't they just draft some new legislation to fix it? When Russia invaded Ukraine our leaders jumped into action to help them defend their country even on another continent, but when what is supposedly one of the founding principles of the US is totally broken you think its consistent with the assumption that our leaders share these values with us for them to drag their feet for multiple decades?

Very nice work, this will help to play through different scenarios. It might be worth it to show that different industries have very different up front capital requirements and that for instance a template for doing a hardware startup has rough indications of how much of the total funding is required at which stage of the venture.

This is where I see a lot of people make - very costly - mistakes in terms of dilution, they start a hardware startup or some other capital intensive track but use SaaS levels of capital requirement and timing to plan their liquidity. This obviously can impact the business in very negative ways (or can even cause it to go under). So to inject some realism into the figures at various phases using templates might be a useful thing.

Another thing you may want to consider is to put sweat equity and funds supplied by the founders in there, as well as a way to administer friends-and-family rounds, and to be able to play through a founder departing scenario. I realize those are complex things to do, and obviously you're under no obligation to do any of this.

Thank you for making this and for putting it out there.

Age is irrelevant. Market share is. The first search result [1] places Windows 7 at 3.34% of Windows marketshare currently, which is significant, IMHO, but your market may vary from whatever this statistic tracks. 8.1 at 1.66% and XP at 0.64% could be significant, too, depending on your market. If you're going to support 7, you may as well support 8 and 8.1 too because it may not be any more work.

Interesting that they seem to only intend this for uses cases outside of the "path of a user-interaction". Makes me thing they've prioritized devx/iteration, but that for a non-trivial number of uses cases you'll need eject to more low level infrastructure.
Where do they state that? Higher taxes aren't really more complicated to pay.
I think we are moving away from some of those principles, particularly with regard to privacy and the balance between individual rights vs society/government.

Attitudes have changed a lot.There is an episode of Yes Minister where the minister does not want to push a shared govt database law because of privacy concerns. Another where the idea of ID cards is called political suicide. Absolutely true at the time, but the former is happening, and the latter is still not with us the UK but its no longer unacceptable to push the idea.

Kids are growing up expecting to be tracked (a lot of parents use "apps" to track what their kids do) so it will become even more normalised. People are used to being tracked as the tradeoff for map apps. There is a lot of surveillance anyway (CCTV and face recognition, number plate recognition, paying by card) so its already normal

I recently had some old super8 films shot by my parents scanned into 1080p resolution in ProresHQ. Because of the poor optics of the original camera, imperfect focus when shooting, poor lightning conditions, and general deterioration of the film stock, most of the footage won't get anywhere near what 1080p could deliver.

What I'd like to try at some point is to let some AI/ML model process the frames, and instead of necessarily scaling it up to 4k etc., 'just' add (aka magic) missing detail into 1080p version and generally unblur it.

Is there anything out there, even in research phase that can take existing video stock, and then hallucinate into it detail that never was there to begin with? What NVidia is demoing here seem like steps to that direction...

I did test out Topaz Video and DaVinci's built-in super resolution feature, both of which gave me a 4k video with some changes to the original. But not the magic I am after.

For these type of job hops many fundamental quality principles carry forward, but each is a whole new ball game when you got into it. Also for instance with pharmaceuticals as well as fuels you still use the exact same models of the latest spectrometers and chromatographs, so specialized expertise here carries over ideally but that is just the instrument, not the particular science being conducted.

What it comes down to is that someone with decades of experience in pharma can be useful in the fuel lab and vice versa, but it still takes years to get up to speed before the wisest decisions can be made since either way this type of thing is not soft about quality. That much it shares with aircraft reliability.

It takes a certain type of leadership to prevail in a situation like Boeing (and many others) did during World War II, and this has been so sorely lost by now that there is very little remaining linkage back to the real thing.

And while I'm here don't ask me how I know the airline companies' fuel is tested as reliably as their fuselages, and by a bureau with management hierarchy having a degree of dedication that's noticeably more modern than what was once expected in the past.

I still use a dedicated mp3 player for outdoor activities (running, MTB'ing) and lifting weights. Why? Well, my little mp3 player is both smaller and lighter than my phone and - more to the point - much cheaper to replace. If I drop a weight plate on my mp3 player, or crash my MTB and destroy the mp3 player in the process, I'm out a lot less - in terms of both money and general aggravation - as compared to destroying my phone in a similar manner.

I also still have a preference for 1/8" headphone jacks for connecting headphones to devices.
On road trips my charging stops are usually 10-20 minutes, so not enough time to go in and sit down at a restaurant or watch a movie.

At longer stay locations then high powered AC chargers (12kW+) or slow DC chargers (25-50kw) could make a lot of sense.

Idle comment,

among the many forces at work, one is the pressure resulting from the recent intense push for UAP disclosure. Among the specific actionable allegations that have brought by whistleblowers (notably David Grusch) is that there is an exceptional and unwarranted amount of money finding its way to defense and aerospace companies for secret programs which are not subject to congressional oversight; and that one of the conditions for this state of affairs is the out of control evolved intensely siloed classification system.

Independent of any allegations about e.g. NHI, numerous Reps have clearly been motivated into action in this specific area—following the money, which might better have been spent in say their own districts—by what they have been told, e.g. in a much-publicized SCIF briefing a week or so ago. And specifically by being repeatedly stonewalled.

If there's one way to attract Congress' attention, it's to make it clear that money they should have discretion over is being spent in ways that are intentionally hidden from them.

I find it deeply offensive that this work is presented under the auspices of scientific research.

The only way to describe this is bragging, advertising, or marketing. There are no reproducible processes described. While the diagram of their architecture may inspire others it does not allow for the most crucial aspect of the scientific endeavor, falsification.

There is no way we can know if Google is lying because there's no way to check. It should be assumed that every example has been cherry-picked and post processed. It should be assumed that the data used to train the model (if one was trained at all) was illicitly acquired. We have to start from a mindset of extreme skepticism because Google now routinely makes claims that cannot be demonstrated. When the performance of Gemini in bard is compared to GPT-4 for example, it falls far short. When they release a video claiming to be an interaction with a model it turns out it wasn't anything of the kind.

Ideally no organization would operate like this but Google has become a particularly egregious repeat offender.
> We can examine the decision in more detail. When down by 8 with four possessions to go (which matches up with when Carolina went for a two point conversion), a team has one of two choices:

Down by 8 and facing a conversion opportunity means you were down by 14 and just scored a touchdown (6 points). It's more that 1 percentage point change (1.7%) not less (and as others have pointed out, it increases your win probability by about 15%), so there is still a misreading.
