You mean… once a year? Because yeah, over 8% of batteries will age out in the month Apple releases a new phone, even with a random distribution.

The window in the normal person’s mind for “they’re doing this on purpose” is probably the month of the event announcement, plus the month the event happens in, and then the month afterwards is when the phones ship and friends start getting them. That’s a solid 25% of the year that would look suspicious to a conspiracy theorist.

Honestly the latency to ANY real world service would be sufficient. They could nominate a dozen .gov websites and it could be ISP’s choice which one they test against. If they can have a fast ping to nasa.gov, then the infrastructure is capable of fast pings.

Replicator technology often comes up in episodes involving trading with a less advanced civilisation, and often mentions how the Federation/Star Fleet is not willing to share that technology because it’s too game breaking.

And that unlimited energy has led them to a post scarcity, post money utopia, though that scenario seems to have been withdrawn a little in Picard.

What? If you noticed something subjectively destabilizing about it, own it, and reflect on it more. You aren't going to be the only one who notices it. And don't delude yourself into thinking the direction of research won't be looked into. As the Artist's dream, so dost the man of science/artisan attempt to forge.

> If I transmit a statsd metric representing "CPU usage", I am still sampling it.

In practice this is how everyone does it, but in theory it should be possible to have a non-sampled view of CPU usage (defined as "time process is scheduled onto a CPU"). With the right kernel introspection, you could represent it as a series of spans covering each time slice where the process is scheduled. Perhaps with a concept of a "currently ongoing span" to account for the current time slice.

Do I think this would be more useful than the typical sampled metric? Probably not, outside some niche performance analysis workflows. But my point is that CPU is not actually continuous, and I struggle to think of any metric which cannot be represented without sampling if you REALLY need it.

I'm in general in favour of cutting regulations down. Especially industry specific regulations. (Eg banking should be regulated the same way as manufacturing of shoes.) Yes, barriers to entry should be lowered, too.

A particularly fruitful way to get more competition is to invite established foreign companies to set up shop locally.

I don't understand why you would want to pick a winner, the 'public option' and subsidize it?

We don't even know for sure whether the industry we are looking at is actually a 'natural monopoly' until such a monopoly develops.

So I would leave them alone. However, when such a monopoly develops, then you _might_ (might!) want to break out regulations. (Basically whatever makes your 'public option' the 'public' option are the kinds of regulations you just might want to break out.)

The biggest useful 'regulation' I can think of is one we already mentioned: auction off the natural monopoly.

A study performed at the University of Florida showed slightly more calories are burned in cold water exercise than in warm. In the study, men who exercised for 45 minutes in 68 degree water burned an average of 517 calories. The men who exercised in 91.4 degree water burned 505 calories, on average.

from very cold to very warm is just twelve extra calories

But even in that case, you’d only burn a few additional calories at best, Cypess said. In studies where he’s put participants in cold rooms for entire days, they burned off an additional 150 to 200 calories. Again, that’s a full day of cold — not an hour’s worth of outdoor activity.

Of course the Picard series itself then thoroughly destroys that thought by going on and on about money.
I guess it's computationally expensive? OP states in the website that their solution takes 1 hour of processing for 30 minutes long videos .

Now imagine offering this for all the YouTube videos available:

- either it's done on their servers (hard to believe due to high costs)
- either it's done on client side (which is also difficult, due to lack of processing power)
I'm curious, why the dichotomy?

I see a lot of good and bad in unions. From a policy POV, I prefer a wealth tax that redistributes to regular people (workers), either as a UBI or tax break or social safety net. That wealth tax needs be global, similar in implementation to the global minimum corporate tax, to prevent capital flight.

This tax achieves a similar outcome to unions, it makes the lives of regular workers better by reducing the number of hours they need to work and giving them options, which implicitly changes the bargaining power. But on net it has much less downsides than unions. And it's more future proof when AI starts making people unemployed, whether that happens now or in 20 years.
Mental gymnastics is useless in _actual _ communication.
> and local testing

You mention this as an afterthought but that's the critical feature. Giving developers the ability to run integration tests locally is a massive win in a "ball of mud" environment. There are other ways to accomplish this locally, but the test-infrastructure-as-test-code approach is a powerful and conceptually elegant abstraction, especially when used as a tool to design testcontainers for your own services that can be imported as packages into dependent services.

People want something that works out of the box and keeps working without additional maintenance or annoying you all the time.

The post you are replying to has a stronger focus on the second part but still wants the same thing.

Same reasoning for getting debian instead of windows. The preinstalled option seems easier at first sight (someone else prepared the box for you), but then windows has McAfee trials, hey sign up for this, oh you don't want updates right now... too bad, your microphone does not work in Skype and you have no clue where to even look to fix it. I don't have the time or patience to deal with this, so debian it is.

At least pay for the game if you are not paying for the console.
Does that article indicate the drop in thermogenesis is irreversible? I can't find anything in it about measuring the participants past the "phase 2 to plateau" stage.

One interesting note that I have from the article is that mean weights for baseline/phase 1/phase 2/plateau weights were 102.8kg/97.1kg/92.1kg/90.1kg. This corresponds to a 0%/-6%/-10%/-12% drop from starting weight, with a massive increase in adaptive thermogenesis between -10% and -12%. The standard body builder advice for losing weight[0] is to lose 10% or ideally less at a time, slowly work your caloric consumption back to maintenance each time, and then start again after at least as long as the time you took to diet. I can't find any academic studies about this but I believe the intent is to reverse or avoid adaptation.

It's not well established at all. Obviously Neanderthals were intelligent, but to what degree is a lot less clear. It's a hotly debated topic with lots of disagreement.

Almost everything about Neanderthals is controversial. Take almost everything you read about Neanderthals that talks in absolutes with a grain of salt, because chances are a significant body of reasonable well-respected experts will disagree. The typical story is something along the lines of "well, there is some evidence, but it's not very strong, and it could mean a number of different things, and oh, it also could have been humans".

With pre-historic humans we can reasonably safely operate on the assumption they were at least roughly like us, and take lessons from more recent hunter-gatherer groups, and things like that. But for Neanderthals you can't really do that because their behaviour and "sensibilities" could have been very different.

It was bloody rude of them to go extinct before we had a chance to ask some questions.
This is one of the unintended consequences of Obamacare. The act mandates that administration is a fixed percentage of the revenue. Effectively this created the same perverse incentive as cost+ contracts that have hobbled the DoD. There is no incentive to keep costs down.

Value based care models are however super effective when properly implemented. Look at Kaiser Permanente. Infinitely better than the alternatives.

I volunteered for 5th Pillar many years ago and yes, the zero rupee note worked on many occasions. When any corrupted government official sees this note, they don't want the potential trouble of fighting with an activist organization like 5th pillar. They would just process the request without getting bribe and simply move on to prey on other innocent, helpless victims waiting in the queue. Of course, this worked only in the lower level of government offices like getting certificates, driving licenses, etc.

>I'm still a bit puzzled here, because it seems to me that the paragraph continuing from here is making the argument that LLM performance on these tests doesn't matter, as far as the question is concerned: in this paragraph you seem to be saying (paraphrased) that despite LLMs' impressive performance on these quantitative tests, they could still fail Turing tests, so their performance on these quantitative tests is not decisive.

It matters in the quantitative sense. It measures AI performance. What it won't do is matter to YOU. Because you're a human and humans will keep moving the bar to a higher standard right? When AI shot passed the turing test humans just moved the goal posts. So to convince someone like YOU we have to look at the final metric. The point where LLM I/O becomes indistinguishable/superior to humans. Of course you look at the last decade... AI is rapidly approaching that final bar.

>The impression I get from what you have written in this post is that you are not claiming that a test conforming to your requirements has actually been successfully performed, you are just assuming it could be?

Whether I assume or don't assume, the projection of the trendline currently indicates that it will. Given the trendline that is the most probable conclusion.

>The experiment does not explicitly address it.

Nothing on the face of the earth can address the question. Because nobody truly knows what "understanding" something actually is. You can't even articulate the definition in a formal way such that it can be dictated on a computer program.

So I went to the next best possibility, which is my point. The point is ALTHOUGH we don't know what understanding is, we ALL assume humans understand things. So we set that as a bar metric. Anything indistinguishable from a human must understand things. Anything that appears close to a human but is not quite human must understand things ALMOST as well as a human.
The "car" part would have been subcontracted and must have been seen as inconsequential as say phone screen suppliers. I'd speculate there were some hard realizations in both the car part and the robot part.
And yet, we have something like the Picard Manoeuvre that uses FTL to make it look like you have 2 or more ships in a single location. So they acknowledge that FTL is reality breaking, then just hand wave it away.

I can’t understand how this is even legal. I know its a somewhat normal occurrence but you wouod think people could at least easily win a lawsuit and get them to sure-up their policies.

Its probably ignorance and not malice but it doesn’t really matter. It basically just amounts to a scam.
Could you elaborate on that, please? This is just at the edge of my understanding and I'd like to learn more.
I didn’t say they were perfect. I very much do think there’s room for improvement but the stock experience in a Tesla is miles ahead of other companies. The only thing that would be better IMHO (and much better) is if they allowed CarPlay or Android auto.

Let’s not miss the forest for the trees with equating flaws with what the original topic was: hackable. All their examples require up front knowledge and patience. They’ll still have flaws after all that.

Most people don’t want that. They’ll put up with flaws if they can skip the up front mental energy and friction.

Excerpt:

> Now read this from McCarthy's The Crossing (1994), part of the acclaimed Border Trilogy: "He ate the last of the eggs and wiped the plate with the tortilla and ate the tortilla and drank the last of the coffee and wiped his mouth and looked up and thanked her."

> Thriller writers know enough to save this kind of syntax for fast-moving scenes: "... and his shout of fear came as a bloody gurgle and he died, and Wolff felt nothing" (Ken Follett, The Key to Rebecca, 1980). In McCarthy's sentence the unpunctuated flow of words bears no relation to the slow, methodical nature of what is being described. And why repeat tortilla? When Hemingway wrote "small birds blew in the wind and the wind turned their feathers" ("In Another Country," 1927), he was, as David Lodge points out in The Art of Fiction (1992), creating two sharp images in the simplest way he could. The repetition of wind, in subtly different senses, heightens the immediacy of the referent while echoing other reminders of Milan's windiness in the fall. McCarthy's second tortilla, in contrast, is there, like the syntax, to draw attention to the writer himself. For all the sentence tells us, it might as well be this: "He ate the last of the eggs. He wiped the plate with the tortilla and ate it. He drank the last of the coffee and wiped his mouth. He looked up and thanked her." Had McCarthy written that, the critics would have taken him to task for his "workmanlike" prose. But the first version is no more informative or pleasing to the ear than the second, which can at least be read aloud in a natural fashion. (McCarthy is famously averse to public readings.) All the original does is say, "I express myself differently from you, therefore I am a Writer."

> The same message is conveyed by the stern biblical tone that runs through all of McCarthy's recent novels. Parallelisms and pseudo-archaic formulations abound: "They caught up and set out each day in the dark before the day yet was and they ate cold meat and biscuit and made no fire"; "and they would always be so and never be otherwise"; "the captain wrote on nor did he look up"; "there rode no soul save he," and so forth.

> The reader is meant to be carried along on the stream of language. In the New York Times review of The Crossing, Robert Hass praised the effect: "It is a matter of straight-on writing, a veering accumulation of compound sentences, stinginess with commas, and a witching repetition of words ... Once this style is established, firm, faintly hypnotic, the crispness and sinuousness of the sentences ... gather to a magic." The key word here is "accumulation." Like Proulx and so many others today, McCarthy relies more on barrages of hit-and-miss verbiage than on careful use of just the right words.
> If they went through and released a car, would it be profitable enough for all those costs?

Why would that matter? Those are sunk costs.
In my case I think I could've made my case better but I was tired and lazy. It was me against one director where it could pay a few hundred bucks to have all the features it wanted or have me implement a single must have feature on top of the community edition.

It's difficult to judge because maybe the project had a hard budget so even if having me implement things resulted in a costlier and possibly worse result it made more sense due to not resulting in a new discretionary cost. But I think it was more due to cultural background where the person was used to not pay much for software. My experience working with CEO was the opposite, those kinds of costs were pre-approved.
A union is like a lawyer. There are good and bad ones, and you may have to pay attention and hold their feet to the fire. But you're usually still a lot better off having one in your corner than trying to handle it yourself.
When you make an argument like that, the suggested changes need to be improvements.

A 12 mile per hour limit is really bad for a transportation device.
This is a terrible take, and unions absolutely contribute. Just look at the concessions the UAW won from the "big 3" recently.

Unless workers band together they have no bargaining power. Without bargaining power the owners horde the profits.

It's pretty clear that this is better for the individual. Longer term they retain the option of changing the employer which is pretty much the default state. It sucks for the company but for the individual it's hard to argue that this is not a good move.
I always finds it astonishing how quickly it gets significantly colder during an eclipse. It's so rapid that it's somewhat unintuitive that we don't freeze to death every night.
I have doubts about that. Most personal data actually lives in the cloud these days. If you need your Gmail emails, you'll need to use their API which is guarded behind $50k certification fee or so. I think there is a simpler version for personal use, but you still need to get the API key. Who's going to teach their mom about API keys? So I think for a lot of these data sources you'll end up with enterprise AIs integrating them first for a seamless experience.
Oh yeah. I've been worried about prions for ages. Especially having eaten beef in Britain in the 80s. The concern has somewhat faded, but I won't touch venison.
