This example feels categorically different to me, since economics is fundamentally about modeling the real world, whereas many would argue that the mathematics' ability to do so is more of a convenient byproduct. This reads to me like an indictment of economics in particular, rather than a general statement about the value of the real-world applicability of research.
I just want to point out that my brain tripped over trying to parse "7k-LB" part of the submission subject. The unit symbol for pound is lb/lbs, so why isn't it 7k lbs? Or just "7k pounds"?

7k-LB is just wrong on so many levels.

Edit: I just realized that the original title of the article has the same mistake, so I guess it's their fault primarily, not the submitter.
Alternatively we could fix the massive regulatory issues that lead to this.

1. Smaller vehicles have tighter emissions requirements and those requirements increase every year. So manufacturers of ICE vehicles have tended towards larger and larger vehicles year after year.

2. In the wake of Japanese auto manufacturers eating US manufacturer's lunch in the US we banned entire swaths of vehicles (minitrucks, microvans, kei cars). Because of this, in practice vehicles below a certain size that are produced by some of our main non-domestic (and maybe also domestic but I'm not sure) auto manufacturers (toyota, honda, mazda, nissan, subaru, etc) are illegal in the US unless they are a model that is 25 years old.

So we've made it impractical or even in some cases impossible to even build, sell, and market smaller but just as practical vehicles. If we fix that issue first, I imagine the market will eventually trend back towards smaller, cheaper, practical, and more efficient vehicles.
> I think the best and most beautiful mathematics is driven directly by applications, and made better for the pressure to apply to a real problem (not a problem that just mathematicians care about).

That's the thing, in my opinion, when you study math, you start with applications, you work your way to solve complex applicative problems, and then, those problems start to be less interesting, in part because they become easy for you, and the other part is that most of the problem is just 'mechanical and technical' work. Not really interesting.

But what you like in math, it's not the maths themselves, it's to be challenged by problems. So you start to work on abstracts problems, until they become easy, then you go one more step in the abstraction, to find challenging problems, etc..

So basically, I find it somewhat natural to be driven always to more abstract theory, with maybe the hope that one day they will be applied. It's far from you to solve too 'technical' problems in the sense that 'it's just an application of XYZ problem to solve, now, I don't want to implement it, as it will take me a lot of time, while I can find pleasure again in discovering new hard things'

I'm also on the applicative side, but I understand the attraction of the abstract side, and sometimes, I allow myself to work with just a bit of higher abstraction.

So with enough luck, some day, a mathematician, with the right level of abstraction at that moment, will discover an applicative problem that is of your interest, and dedicate to it some time, maybe a lot of time, and maybe even, his/her whole carreer, making it more abstract, elegant and practical.

Interop-2023[0] concluded with the experimental versions of each major browser scoring over 95%. The 2022 interop[1] score landed at 85 and 2021[2] saw Safari start from by far the lowest point and end up almost leading the pack by the end of the year.

This year each browser is starting at a higher point than any previous year but the suite of tests might be larger this year than ever before as well. Is the state of web compatibility just simply improving that much?

I just tried to get it to write me some code that queries an API and it refused.

I asked if it was not allowed to write any code for any APIs and it said yes that’s true. FFS
The "empty wallet" isn't an operative part of the argument. The argument is that all three properties need to hold; this is true even in the 11.5m example.

Each of the scenarios above fails test (3). The most compelling of them is the abusive relationship one, since we can reasonably imagine a non-sophisticated adversary in that setting. But even then, you're relying on conflicting terms: what kind of abusive partner is sufficiently irrational to be abusive but also sufficiently rational to believe a cryptographic proof? Or, put another way: overwhelming evidence has not historically been a strong defense against abuse.
Because that's how political messaging is usually curated. I see no reason to expect the Pope to be different. The idea of him finding time to sit down at his desk, doing all that research, finding citations, have time to understand all the technical neauance, etc. etc. sounds totally unreasonable for a person whose time is split in so many directions.
I heard something like this about Guys And Dolls, too.

congrats! Really crisp idea, excited to try this out
While this may be how most people interact with git, I couldn't disagree more when it comes to my personal use.

I use 'git blame' (I've never needed to pass any options to it) and 'git show' liberally if I'm trying to understand a change that was made, and if the committer took the time to write a commit message body, of course I'll see it and read it.

> ... I think why people just don't care much about good commit messages. It's just not easy to get this data back once it's written.

I think people don't care much about good commit messages because they are unprofessional and sloppy. They just want to get the commit in, push the PR/MR, get it reviewed and merged, close that Jira ticket, and get credit for those sweet sweet story points (ugh). And on top of that, they generally don't care to document their changes because they personally don't see the value of doing so. Surely they'll remember the change if they ever revisit it (no of course not, but many people think they will), and they don't really give much thought to the possibility that others might need more context.

And besides, all the discussion about the bug or feature or whatever was happening in the bug tracker, so providing a link to that issue in the commit message is enough, right? (No, it's not; I hate it when people do that and think that's all they need to do.)

> The main issue is that most of the tooling (in Git or GitHub or whatever) generally only shows the first line.

Then maybe this is GitHub's fault; fix your web UI, then. I avoid GUI interfaces to my dev tools as much as possible, and I think the git command line is perfectly fine for this. It absolutely does not only show the first line, generally. 'git log', 'git show', etc. give you the full message by default. In general I would say you have to go out of your way (by providing more command line options) to hide the message when using the command line tools.

> the Git commit message is a unique vector for code documentation that is highly sub-optimal.

Sure, because it's not a vector for code documentation, it's a vector for change documentation. And there's no better place to put the description of a change than in the record of the change happening.

While I agree that many people write very poor commit messages, I don't think the tooling and discoverability is why.
I said his book, which makes further arguments: https://link.springer.com/book/10.1007/978-3-030-42019-2

And your rebuttal amounts to "if I let you mess with a trivial number of amplitudes then the error will be trivial". Well duh. Another way of phrasing what you said is that you need to control 90% of 2^2048 amplitudes. Which is Dyakanov's point, that nobody knows how to do this.

For price, sure.

But a lot of the time you're looking for things like "cute date spot", "trendy", "chill atmopshere", "cozy", "good for a large birthday group", and so forth.

There aren't filters for these. That's my whole point.

There's a ton of information that can be gleaned from people's reviews and photos, but that simply aren't exposed in anything filterable. And keyword search often isn't available but also doesn't often work -- e.g. searching for "budget" gives you lots of reviews that say "definitely not budget". But AI is perfect for this.
I am not sure how generative models would help here, but sometime I just want to put a multiple constraints on the map query and this is not feasible even though they already have all the necessary information because their UI doesn't support it. Something like "burger shops/cafes near the downtown that I've been there before and gave a good rating or in my favorite list, reservation open for tomorrow lunch". Probably too complicated for dedicated UI, wonder if a chat style UX could fit to this kind of needs.
These are very fine ways of explaining simple things in an ego-boosting manner. The more you work with ML these days the more you appreciate it. It happens with every new technology bubble.

In regular terms he's saying the outputs aren't coming out in the same dimensions that the next stages cn work with properly. It wants values between -1 and +1 and it isn't guaranteeing it. Then he's saying you can make it quicker to process by putting the data into a more compact structure for the next stage.

The discriminator could be improved. i.e we could capture better input

KL Diversion is not an accurate tool for manipulating the data, and we have better.

ML is a huge pot of turning regular computer science and maths into intelligible papers. If you'd like assurance, look up something like MinMax functions and Sigmoids. You've likely worked with these since you progressed from HelloWorld.cpp but wouldn't care to shout about them in public
> Yep. This is one of the big problems with online communities. When someone makes a bold statement, I have no idea if they’re a grizzled engineer with grizzled, hard earned engineering opinions, or some kid fresh out of a coding bootcamp who thinks they’re all that. In person, I’d treat those two people incredibly differently. Online? It’s impossible to spot the difference.

I know there are limits to this, but isn't that a good thing, too? It's all too easy to treat a newbie as if they can't possibly have useful things to offer to the community; being forced to treat all comments equally, without being able to fall back on the crutch of reputation, arguably forces one to read and engage more deeply with the content, and offers the chance to surface the occasional genuinely valuable contribution from a newbie (or, for that matter, to avoid letting someone get away with an ill considered or overbroad statement just because they have such a big reputation that people are too afraid to stand up to them).

Well, no, this was the main issue with homograph attacks in domain names [1] that brought us to the use of punycode in browsers [2]

In particular for a cryptographic library, I wouldn't want to constantly have to watch out for sneaky malicious variables put in the right place (e.g. try to compare visually the Cyrillic а, с, е, о, р, х, у with the ascii a, c, e, o, p, x, y (no, they're not the same characters).

EDIT: I realize that many programming languages today allow the use of unicode variables and I like that it's a possibility, it's just not the best when you need to be paranoid about the code

Note that DuckDB can ingest SQLite tables. If you need OLAP on your SQLite system today instead of whenever this is stable, consider pairing up DuckDB. In the simplest case if you don’t need amazing latency and have small data (<1gb), I would copy the whole table from SQLite into an in-memory or temp file DuckDB, do your OLAP queries, then throw it away. For larger datasets, you can incrementally replicate the SQLite table into DuckDB by adding a logical clock column or something to the SQLite table, and then copy rows where logical_clock>last_duckdb_change before running your next DuckDB query.

We’re currently doing a bake-off between a few databases for small datasets (<10m rows) with dynamic schemas, and have pretty comparable read latencies between DuckDB and SQLite for our workflow, so you might be able to get away with switching wholesale from SQLite to DuckDB if you don’t do a lot of update.

OK. The list of things that are going to get worse before they get better is going to get longer before it gets shorter. There is a lot that has to change if we want to keep doing what we are doing.
