> Anecdotally, I've seen this a lot with adults with undiagnosed ADHD (including myself until 26). Caffeine can be a (very shitty) alternative to proper stimulant medication that people don't realise they actually need because of a medical issue. So the end up drinking 4-5 coffees a day instead.

ADHD medication is among the hardest to get in the first place, and to maintain in many places.

I was diagnosed as a child, and still couldn't get regular medication until 3 years ago (I'm 37 now). Doctors will try to push off-label treatments, often SSRIs, which do nothing for ADHD. They will push people to try ineffective talk therapy and describe actual medication as "only a last resort".

My cousin can't get it because his insurance says you only have ADHD if you were diagnosed as a child, and he spent his childhood in another country where the roads were barely maintained.

ADHD meds reduce the chances someone will abuse drugs according to research, but many docs will cancel prescriptions if you are honest about cannabis use.

In the wake of the opiate scandal new restrictions also place limits on how much a pharmacy can dispense, even if everyone has a valid prescription. That's part of the reason for the medication shortages in some areas.

It's been a miracle medication for me, but if you don't have money and luck it can be next to impossible to find someone to help you. Those that do often require thousands in fees.

Seems like a "bug" of some sort in google translate. If you remove some context it works.

"Utdanningsetaten" translates to "Education Agency". But I guess instead of "The Education Agency" it tries to translate it into context, which should be "The Norwegian Education Agency".

However it seems confused about which country is being talked about so it just think it's Sweden maybe.
Related, it'd be nice if cameras had signatures to stamp proof of authenticity for the photos they produce.

While we're building the wishlist, it'd also be nice to have a history of transforms to sensor & artist-made digital pixels. This would have to be supported in DCC.

With these 2 things (proof of authenticity and git-like edit history), we could at least say with some confidence when news media _is not_ AI generated.
A more modern solution would be to use classList.toggle() or toggleAttribute(hidden).
Many universities in Greece currently are closed due to student demonstrations and in many of those the teachers denied holding virtual exams due to lack of standardized exam software and ChatGPT. One could argue that instead of generic questions they could run the exams on questions/topics only taught in class which would be “a bit” difficult for ChatGPT to answer but I guess their excuses have less to do with ChatGPT itself and more with other topics…

ISA was not an option for VIDEO card at early 90s.

The format isn't explicit to the network. But the data trained on is usually in RGB format, so probably the reasoning. I found a repo where someone tried different formats but it's wroth noting that this was for discrimination so just because it can discriminate doesn't mean it does the same thing. Maybe I'll run some experiments. You could use a UNet for classification and then look at the bottom layer and do the same thing. Be hard to do with SD (or SDXL) because you'd need to retrain with the format. Tuning could possibly work but the network would likely be biased to understand the RGB encoding.

Ask HN: As a FAANG senior engineer, should I pursue a Masters Degree?
At present, I am a senior engineer at a FAANG company in Seattle, WA. I have about 9 years of experience and most of it has been at FAANG. I joined the company right after my under grad in CS.

I have been trying to break into a ML role for quite some time. In the past few years, I took several ML classes offered at my company and those really helped me get some useful hands-on experience with training/using ML models. With the recent LLM frenzy, I finally got an opportunity to build an Information Retrieval system which uses a few different neural models for search and although we got it out in production, I realized that a lack of formal background and prior experience in this area drew a lot skepticism from leadership and other teams towards the project. This was a pretty harsh reality check. In the past year, I have read about a hundred or so research papers and from what I understand, our project barely scratched the surface of whats possible and yet it was an annoyingly hard uphill battle to get it out.

For a long time I assumed that I would be able to build credible ML/AI expertise at work, but that seems less likely now. I also thought that I can self-teach ML/AI by working on personal projects, however, I doubt that would be true either given the depth of this field.

Lately, I have been thinking a lot about pursuing a Masters Degree with a focus on learning ML and AI. I like this idea for following reasons:

1. A good MS program will help me build a solid foundation in this area and maybe even more.

2. If I am accepted at a university like Stanford, MIT or Harvard, it will give me access to their network and a degree from one of these institutes will help my career.

3. I can offset the opportunity cost of a mid-career break if I enroll in one their part-time MS programs that offer hybrid online/on-campus courses.

In the long term, I want to grow into a technical leadership role, preferably at a company that I co-founded.

I want your feedback on 1) whether doing a Master is even worth it at this stage in my career 2) are there other ways I can achieve the same goals without Masters 3) have you or do you know people who went through similar transition and how did they achieve it 4) am I right to believe that ML/AI expertise is going to be incredibly important going forward and it warrants all this effort?
I recommend free access Bard (Gemini Pro, which is better than GPT-3.5) for the miscellaneous requests and GPT-4 if you need quality.
Maybe it will teach them skepticism with its hallucinations.

> It seems like reproduction rates in wealthy countries trend closer towards replacement levels...

That seems unlikely, given that total fertility in wealthy countries is well below "replacement" (2.1 children per woman). Reproduction rate, number of daughters per woman, could only be approaching replacement if the sex ratio is massively skewed in favour of girls.

1. UN chart of TFR for "more developed regions": https://population.un.org/wpp/Graphs/Probabilistic/FERT/TOT/...

Observe the assumed but never yet seen floor to fertility rate.
Paraphrasing on absolutist positions seems pretty wrong to me if that is the point you're trying to make.

I could have left the KYC portion off of the original comment and thus this one point feels like a festering wound for a meth addict (anti-crypto HN) to pick at instead of being focused on the larger message.

Regardless, we are off in the weeds debating about the word "useless" (a word neither the OP nor I never used), when it really has nothing to do with my original post at this point. This isn't interesting to discuss, so I'll stop now. Thanks.
Chlorine is 1.6 times lighter than iron. Depending on how many atoms of iron are reduced per one atom of chlorine exhausted, the balance may be not as starkly bad.

But likely replacing 100% of steel industry with this process would still produce more chlorine than can be profitably sold currently. Maybe it would do with replacing 30%, for starters.
Yes this is accurate. I work at a lender that operated in both Canada and the US and the credit bureau integrations were with totally different companies and had different APIs (even for Equifax on both sides of the border)

In my CTO newsletter I recently wrote about TS vs Go releases, with Go 1.22 as an example. TS gets more and more complicated with each release, catering to the power users. Go adds things that makes it simpler to use, like the (missing) range over integers. It's like game sequels, they add more and more canon and game mechanics, then game sequels (or comics) need to reset to make them more accessible to newcomers again. Programming languages can't do this, so I'm happy that Go keeps this in mind.
Mortgages in Canada are different than mortgages in the US in that they are full recourse. If the sale price during foreclosure doesn’t cover the costs, the banks can go after you personally for the balance. So you’d have to either a) leave the country, or b) declare bankruptcy. So, not exactly a risk-free option.

But why is the VAT a showstopper ?

Because of extra complexity ? But the payment software itself can figure out the exact amounts. Which then can also be aggregated monthly/yearly.

Not to mention that plenty of jurisdictions only require that for businesses, while non-businesses don't have to report anything about their donations/sales unless they cross a yearly threshold.

It’s very hard to understand what Android’s up to because it can do anything. Also, you can’t tell what the back button will do - is it going to close the app or go back?

On the other hand iPhones are very predictable. There’s one button or one gesture that takes you home and one gesture to take you back. Also, apps always stay with their limits, don’t blend in the OS beyond notifications,widgets and playback controls.

That’s also part of the reason why Apple wants to keep it as a walled garden.

iPhone’s are miles ahead of any Android in ease of use. Once you deep dive, they might be about the same but Apple still has the consistency advantage.
Universities exist to educate young people and set them on the path to lifelong growth. This shift to being a cheaper place for industrial research is a nauseating aberration. There is nothing wrong with applied research, having practical goals in mind, or spinning off research findings. When they become the objective, we get the reproducibility and integrity crises that reach and remain on the HN front page every damn day.
Still great. The better students get at writing prompts, the better they get at formulating what they want, learning to be more precise, and seeing how what they say could be confusing. Think of how search engines [used to] train people to use basic logic to disambiguate.

This sounds ridiculous because Google was never "under" Marissa Mayer. She wasn't the CEO, so ultimately it was up to someone else. And if anyone wants me to believe that someone other than the CEO was responsible for an acquisition, and such a perspective is anything but shifting the blame from the CEO, they're going to have to try really hard to make that argument. Harder than the maximum number of characters allowed in a single HN comment.
Just start using HTTP 402 and JSON payloads. We can just converge on whatever ends up common; for me, there is already a monetary standard for the Internet.

I participated in these meetings for some time, during the rise (and rise) of Bitcoin. It's clear that the landscape of the financial web has shifted significantly at this point (for better or worse, in many ways), but standards, as usual, lag the market.
I keep saying this. At some point, some very smart people are going to figure out how expensive React is to build and maintain, and it’s going to change the conversation.
> The US has asked China to use its ties with Iran to try and rein in the Houthis, but on Thursday, US Secretary of Defence Lloyd Austin said Washington had seen “no visible evidence” Beijing was doing so.

How do they think this works, that Iran is bigger than Yemen, so Yemen takes orders from it, and China is bigger than Iran so Iran takes orders from it? This asking to talk to the manager shtick is very telling about the US’s own views on its allies

Yeah I'm not going to claim you intended to say anything or not. Miscommunication happens. Sorry about that.

How I read your original message is that the I do not need to worry about contamination because the big labs already account for this and their methods are specified in the papers. I was dissatisfied by this response because I thought I had demonstrated working knowledge of these methods through my mention of contents of the training data as well as provided links to two relevant papers, one I was criticizing about how the decontamination method was far more naive than one might expect and the other was a work showing a significant amount of contamination.
They have to live somewhere. In much of the PNW, you basically have three landscapes: established cities, clear-cut farmland, and dense coniferous forests. City expansion starts with rural residences in the woods. If you want to get to the "paved over and non-flammable" stage, you gotta let the rural homesteads happen first.

You can educate or coerce homeowners to maintain defensible spaces, and they often comply. But in these regions, roughly 50% of the land is owned by the federal government, and another good chunk belongs to the state. Almost none of it is proactively logged, burned, or maintained in any other meaningful way. These big fires don't start in people's backyards, they start in the government-owned wilderness - and by the time they reach residences, they are so intense that a metal roof and some cleared vegetation around your home make little difference.

I suspect the pendulum had swung too far away from exploiting natural resources to conserving them at any cost. The solution probably isn't to tell people in the PNW "too bad, move to Iowa, Oregon is closed" - it's to decide where to maintain healthy forests and where to make room for safe development.

The majority of laypeople have no idea what you are talking about, and if they know anything, I would guess from colloquial language that they 'know' your 'genes' are inherited and determine things about you, in a way you can't change or avoid.

I'm not criticising the laypeople (or flattering us), but pointing out that we are in a bubble ... on another planet ... in a different universe ....

I expect that more scientists and medical professionals are back on planet Earth (i.e., unaware) than you imagine. Who else would the OP be targeted at?
