We have 4.5 year old spontaneous fraternal twins and a 2.5 year old singleton. It's been great but it's so incredibly challenging. I've been primary for the twins since my wife was pregnant with our son. It's been a real wild ride and if it weren't for pictures I'm not sure I'd be able to remember any of it, honestly. We don't have a ton of help, so I feel rode hard and put away wet most days. But I cut myself a lot of slack in my personal life, like not being as dialed in on my nutrition as I used to be, or missing workouts, etc. I'd have really beaten myself up about this stuff a decade ago. Today, it's not unimportant but it's really not that important, either.

But I cannot imagine multiple sets. We rolled the dice with our son and I'm honestly thankful we didn't get another set, I have no idea how we'd have survived that. Kudos to you all for pulling it off!

People are still salty about the way that steel was pushed out of the market back in the 1990s.

Especially in the sub-$1000 category (which was probably 90+% of the market), the aluminum bike that replaced the steel bike at the same price point was a noticeably worse bike, but it looked way cooler (forget the fact that aluminum bikes improved a lot as time went on). The collapse in demand for bike-appropriate steel tubing meant that any laggard bike makers were essentially forced to switch. So now, if you want a steel bike frame, you really only have the lower-end and the very high-end tubing available to you.

Basically, steel bikes were killed by fashion trends more than anything else. It's no wonder hipsters love them.
Again, the assumption of rationality, along with the lack of appreciation for the diminishing value of money from, e.g. whales is the silly part here.

While I'd concede that "they're stupid" is probably the primary reason someone might go for the Michelle Obama bet, I can think of AT LEAST one other -- e.g, I'm insanely rich Tyler Perry, and I just like the idea of that being in the air?
Depends on where the data is stored, if the owner of the domain lives in the EU or a similar jurisdiction the data will be under Database rights for 15 years. There is no such thing as community owned. Each post might be owned by the person who posted it but often that is not the case.

EDIT: so of course you should dump the data, wget -r and dump it.

Read "Secrets of Sand Hill Road".

It's written by Scott Kupor - one of the Managing Partner at A16Z - and explains in depth how the VC model works.

It's also required reading if you want to interview at a VC fund, and highly recommended by other founders to learn how to better strategize when raising funds.

Secrets of Sand Hill Road, Monetizing Innovation, and Working Backwards are the only books you need to successfully understand how to raise and build a VC funded startup. The pricing strategy guide by I think Sequoia is also useful.

No.

There is absolutely no use case for misuse of any mundane service or desktop app that comes even close to match the impact on society of an apartment building collapsing and killing occupants.

In relative terms, if you compare any grievance you might have with the sheer volume of services and applications running 24/7 all over the world... Zero dot zero percent.

You can't even make a case against using free software developed by amateur volunteers in production environments.
>I was told they are under specific directive to be as non-technical as possible, even if the result becomes technically incorrect.

There could be a sinister undertone to this, but this is how communication works. Common context is a must for successful communication, and news is communication.

And, yeah, news needs to be sold in a hard competition, so they do whatever to grab the attention.
I liked this measured observation from Dan Moren, who linked to it on Six Colors:

"If you’re going to take away anything from this whole episode, I think the most important point is this isn’t a case where either Apple or the EU are wholly on the side of right. Apple may very well care about the security of its users, but it also wants to protect its profit cut from the App Store and the use of its platform. The EU may want to curtail the reach of big technology companies when it comes to their citizens’ best interests, but it also is a large organization that doesn’t entirely understand what’s feasible from a technological perspective and has its own ideological axes to grind. It’s always imperative to interrogate where an argument stems from and who stands to gain."

The problem is Chinese companies are subsidized by their government to manufacture things of little or no intrinsic or critical value. Automated vacuum cleaners and consumer drones are niche electronic novelties. Electric cars using solid state batteries are also novelty that will be obsolete once electric engines that use liquid fuels become mainstream (fuel-cells).

The purpose of subsiding what are zombie companies is to maximize employment to ensure internal stability. The wins these companies show are propaganda wins only and don’t make the country more competitive. Foreign manufacturing is also migrating out of China at an alarming rate as shown by falling exports and GDP growth.

None of the development in the Chinese technology sector is sustainable. These companies would never survive on their own without subsidies and are dependent on them. It’s a cascading failure waiting to happen in the Chinese economy and will likely be a global shock. At least the Americans may appear to take longer to develop winning companies but once they do they tend to be sustainable and long lasting as organic enterprises.

Edit: The American free market is working as intended because it rightly values robotic vacuums as useless devices.
Maybe, maybe not.. human-rated equipment will (almost certainly) always be held to a higher standard than autonomous drones/rovers.

> My brother in Christ, the video itself gives other examples than text editors and games and weather apps!

And if you read my or the parent's comment more carefully, you'd see that we're not dismissing concerns for all subscription software, only pointing out that weather apps and text editors are particularly bad examples. It's like making a rant about companies are profiteering, and using sports cars as examples. True, the fact that profiteering in sports cars can be justified doesn't mean that profiteering in other parts of the economy doesn't exist, but it's fair to point out how bad of an example it is.

We have to be accurate about the statistic. It said that 45% had never approached a girl/woman. Not that 45% is permanently and actively avoiding having a relationship by choice.

For sure they should become more active, but there may be societal trends contributing to the statistic: increased isolation, limited shared spaces, dating largely moving to apps, poor or no role models, fear of rejection, etc.

The problem with evo psych is the poor science that goes into verifying the claims, not the concept itself. The field presents a lot of extremely interesting hypotheses, but then does not test them rigorously.

Psychology can often be pretty bad about this (overreliance on very weak experimental methods, such as surveys), but evolutionary psychology is a particularly weak subfield of psychology.

For this reason, scientists in more rigorous fields tend to look upon evolutionary psychology as pseudoscience.

If there is good science happening there, I am unaware of it. I strongly suspect that serious scientists interested in this subject matter go into more rigorous fields, like evolutionary biology or neuroscience. If you are interested in this subject matter (I know I am!), I recommend following these fields instead because they are far less likely to dress up an under-tested hypothesis as true.
> I think that from a legal standpoint, the actual technical means by which something was accomplished doesn't matter if the process as a whole is effectively copyright infringement.

Which is why when the user of the model prompts for something infringing, and is successful at getting close to verbatim output (because the prompt was too constraining, becuase the work is overrepresented in the training) it is that particular output that is infringing. And maybe that means that services operating that prompt/response software are guilty of contributory infringment if they can't adequetly prevent that kind of output.

But that doesn not mean that training the model was infringing. Nor does that mean distribution of the model is infringing. And if a user of the prompt/response software never prompts for anything infringing, and the software never spontaneously recreates anything infringing, there's no infringment happening.

There are lots of technologies out there that are highly capable of enabling infringment at a massive scale. And where the vast majority of their actual usage is absolutely infringing. But we don't completely shut down those technologies that on their own - are not infringing. Bittorrent clients are pefectly legal to develop. And distribute. And people use those clients to commit infringment at large scale. But they are still pefectly legal to write and distrubute.

You don't seem very informed to me. Any kind of deceleration will exert some wear on the tyres.

While engine braking it is not about the weight of the engine used to slow the vehicle down, but rather forcing the wheels directly connected to the engine to a fixed speed. When you clamp your brake, you are trusting the tyre's stickiness to slow the car down, pushing them into an abrasive surface, ultimately wearing them down.

Ever wondered why on a slippery surface the engine brake works while braking don't?
Sure; apologies for not providing a comprehensive history of the space - I was just speaking from my (limited) experience.
I sympathize. Best of luck my fellow twin parent.
I mean, I wasn’t making a value judgement with my post. I’ve just noticed a lot more art (as opposed to diagrams) in blog posts recently and I was surprised that this one actually had licensed images in it. Then I noticed the date. That is all.
Sure but we still have tens of thousands of traffic fatalities every year in the USA and the stats are not decreasing in any meaningful way. What we have done is not working to actually reduce automobile deaths.
> while the assistant managers I think were in the 60-80k range.

Don't know how it was at Home Depot, and my experience at Walmart was ~20 years ago, but asst managers were in-building 10-12 hours/day, usually there 6 days a week for various reasons, and at that time were only making $50k salary to start. Unless there were other bonuses I was unaware of, it was absolutely not worth it.

I wasn't making a living wage as an hourly associate, but they were super strict about me working beyond 40 hours, and when they "requested" beyond that (it was rare but never truly optional if I wanted to keep climbing) I was well compensated because they were terrified of lawsuits by that point. Small blessings.
This is a big missing piece of the puzzle and it could all be fixed by simply repealing legislation.

> In 1917, California passed a new hotel act that prevented the building of new hotels with small cubicle rooms.[12] In addition to banning or restricting SRO hotels, land use reformers also passed zoning rules that indirectly reduced SROs: banning mixed residential and commercial use in neighbourhoods, an approach which meant that any remaining SRO hotel's residents would find it hard to eat at a local cafe or walk to a nearby corner grocery to buy food.

There is a nice essay from 2004 that answers that question, "What Color Are Your Bits" (https://ansuz.sooke.bc.ca/entry/23, discussion https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=24917679)

It talks about copyright infringement in music, but it applies just as well to AI training, just substitute "scrambled file" with "model weights":

> The scrambled file still has the copyright Colour because it came from the copyrighted input file. It doesn't matter that it looks like, or maybe even is bit-for-bit identical with, some other file that you could get from a random number generator. It happens that you didn't get it from a random number generator. You got it from copyrighted material; it is copyrighted. The randomly-generated file, even if bit-for-bit identical, would have a different Colour. The Colour inherits through all scrambling and descrambling operations and you're distributing a copyrighted work,
The answer is stupidly simple but only touched on briefly in the article. It is the fees and the limits bet sizes combined.

Let’s take a simple example, which is Donald Trump‘s current odds of winning the Republican nomination. Predictit currently has this at $0.92. Realistically I think the odds are higher. Not 100% but higher than $0.92. The problem is that the maximum I can bet is $500, so that’s 543 “shares” that I can buy. And I’ll make $0.08 on each share if he wins, so that’s $43. Then when I withdraw my money I will get a 5% fee, so my initial $500 turns in to $516. Oh, and then I have to wait until primaries, and for it to actually pay out. And there IS a non zero chance trump loses. Very few individuals will care about turning $500 into $515, so this bet makes sense. And since you have a cap on bet size, no institution will care either.

sounds like a rational market to me.
@Jeremy, have you ever encountered Ken Stanley’s book “Why Greatness Cannot be Planned: The Myth of the Objective”?

If you’re not familiar with him, he was the guy that invented the NEAT algorithm, Novelty Search, etc.

In his book he talks about stepping stones and following what’s “interesting” to individuals. It seems like Answer.AI is focused on applied engineering, but any thoughts on this type of approach from a Research perspective?

On the other hand, there is a maximum number of hours a driver can drive by law, and it has to be logged.

The number of deaths has increased in the last 10 years by 20%, so say around 20% can be attributed to gang violence? There is no official definition of gang on gang violence in the statistics, so we can only really guess here.

One thing of note is that the use of a gun sits at around 50%, which has also had a similar 20% increase in the last 10 years. The gang on gang violence that get media attention usually involve shooting or explosives.
Oh interesting, I wasn't aware. I'll have to try my hand at beta access, and try it out. I enjoyed my time with it on Mac. But use too many different OS's to daily drive it.
Remarkable how relentless the bull market is in spite of all the pessimism just months ago about inflation, interest rates, recession, Gaza, etc. It shows how you have to turn out the negativity and hold. Making money in the market is not so much being informed, so much as it's a willingness to unplug.
I think that we want to exhaust any possibility that there was/is life in some form on mars without merging our biosphere with it just yet. I think to most of humanity that would be an extreme epiphany that you don't need a higher power or that humans are anything special outside of our own little mudball. Seems like a reasonable take for now. I'm sure if we actually do establish permanent colonies there it won't be a choice, although avoiding taking extremophiles that might easily adapt there is something we'll avoid for a while.

The biggest problem with this is how we would define "porn". Some states are currently redefining the existence of a transgender person in public as an inherently lewd act equivalent to indecent exposure.

I have no doubt that if your proposal were to pass that there would be significant efforts from extremist conservatives to censor LGBT+ communities online by labeling sex education or mere discussion of our lives as pornographic. How are LGBT+ people supposed to live if our very existence is considered impolite?

Nevermind the fact that the existence of a government database of all the (potentially weird) porn you look at is a gold mine for anyone who wants to blackmail or pressure you into silence.

The horrors and dangers of porn are squarely a domestic and family issue. The government does not need to come into my bedroom and look over my shoulder.
> In a recent interview with Salon, Irene Mulvey, president of the American Association of University Presidents, charged that the new plagiarism critics are creating “a false narrative for the public that higher education is broken.”

WOW. So the decades of far-faster-than-inflation tuition increases, and destitution-level pay for most of the instructional staff, and ever-growing administrative bloat, and student-luxury-amenities arms race, and blind eyes turned to university-staff sexual predators are not signs that public higher education is broken?
Any resources that you'd recommend for learning such things?

> Some say the store has an ethical duty to reunite people with their lost luggage — especially highly personal items, like jewelry inscribed with names and dates, or electronics with identifiable information.
But historically, the store has maintained it has a business to run.

I’m quite surprised by the opposition here, I’d assume that the high sentimental value could be converted in a much higher price than its off-the-shelf value.

Now would it be more ethical than not contacting them? That’s up to debate, but at least the owners would have a choice.
GDI is only used by legacy apps. It gonna stay there for quite a while for backward compatibility reasons, but modern Windows apps are using better GPU-centric APIs to render their GUI.

Specifically, WPF is based on DirectX 9, Direct2D is based on Direct3D 11, UWP and WinUI are based on Direct2D. On my computer, both Chromium and Firefox browsers are using Angle on top of D3D11, Firefox uses Direct2D for canvas only.

Also, even legacy apps who render their GUI with GDI are still using 3D GPUs to an extent. Some GDI operations like BitBlt are accelerated internally by the OS. And the OS composes windows on the desktop with D3D11, dwm.exe process does that.
The article shows that the average predicted likelihood is frequently illogical. That is not zero-information.
which is why EVs are not a big deal. Any utility director/planner knows they are coming and factors them into their 10 year plans. They should also be building wind and solar at high rates just because they are so cheap as sources of power.

Trying to avoid the classic Internet "every argument is over semantics" debate, but I think that when most people hear "price controls" they are imagining that it's when the government sets limits on prices that can be charged for particular products.
