Unlike those in public high school, students who aren't serious about medical school won't have earned the entrance grades. So at least in first year, most students will have a serious attitude. Are you suggesting that someone will bust their ass for four years, only to start slacking once in medical school? Or that medical school entrance grades don't require serious study?

I can see what you mean about the halfway point. Maybe undergrad came easily, and at the halfway point, the student realizes that medical school simply isn't a good fit, or it's more work than they thought it would be. So they drop out. This is probably a good thing, to prevent people becoming doctors who don't have the chops or the attitude for it. Unfortunately, the school does lose some money on a candidate they ought to have filtered out in the interview.

Happily it's an empirical question, and we can circle back in a few years to see if the drop out rate increased or not. Maybe the drop out rate increases at first, and then the entrance interview becomes more stringent.
I would also be interested in the outcome of these tests.

Did you test against other protocols ? I've been meaning to do some tests using the c++ implementations of each used in userver.tech (specifically flatbuffers/protobuffs also unsupported sbe & captnproto) for etl processing "generally" (Again more variables are to be weighed in here for my case but would be interesting to see these things against payload sizes)
I think you already know what I'm concerned about, but you're asking me so you can have me put it into words and then get me bogged down in those.

The core of my comment is the way these kinds of laws can lead to a kind of extraterritoriality, which I articulated plainly.
You joke but Subway did that last summer. It was great. You paid them $15/mo and you could get all your sandwiches 1/2 off. You only had to buy three in the month to make it worthwhile.

My wife and I did it (we each had to get a subscription because you could only use one discount a day) and we ended up getting 15 sandwiches each.
But that money has already entered the stock market. It doesn't explain it now.

Interest rates are high now, so in theory investment in the stock market should be lower (and it was for a long time - see all the people investing in treasuries to get the great and safe returns)
No, you're correct -- jalapeños have always been the least-spicy spicy pepper in an average US supermarket.

It's just that they used to be spicier.

But if you wanted something really spicy, you never bought jalapeños even in the past -- you went for serranos or habaneros if you could find them.
Unlike England, Eastern Rome had political continuity with the Western Roman Empire, the military language was partially Latin until the end, and the corpus of Law continued from the origin, the people viewed themselves as the same people, and until the last two hundred years hadn’t been conquered or occupied.
Thank God. This ski trip is expensive enough already
The terminology is widely used, and has been for decades, in reinforcement learning; so you're close.

The general idea is that your agent, however it is training, has to balance trying new things to possibly find the global maxima instead of getting hooked on a rewarding local maxima.

You’re grossly misinformed. Advocating genocide is already a crime in Canada. This just makes it more explicit in an online context since the laws around this were created pre-internet.

And given that this is a law that has existed for literally decades, can you cite a single example of where it has been misused to stifle free-speech?

Name one.

(That’s not to say we shouldn’t be keeping a close eye on these things of course, but you’re yelling fire in a theatre where there isn’t even smoke. Give me a break)

Basically, I don't believe the OSS for super large model will benefit the OSS, instead of just for copy-cat.

>This is the basis for almost all that is good in our society.

You have a rather interesting definition of good that doesn't include helping others for reasons other than profit and a great many other things that keeps society a society.
if by cheaper, you mean the current or "mean / base price" ..i guess? there is no time it'll be cheaper, a jr bacon cheeseburger will never be "cheaper" than it is right now. It may be cheaper compared to peak times, but over a long enough time span you'll be paying 2-3x the cost you were paying.
Opposite, China needs to get off land and that will allow them fiat to make up as much money as they want. Their big problem is that the workers aren't making enough money to keep the system running because it is all grifted by the state. Look at South Africa for what can happen when wealth isn't shared and the people can't support the economy because they are all too poor.
Improving productivity isn’t perfectly aligned with what is good for tech stocks. Does Netflix want you to be more productive? Meta?

Google and Amazon maybe.
I'm heartened to see the comments here because they seem to support what I've slowly been realizing, which is that nobody knows what will happen next. There will always be a steady stream of people telling you both that the sky is falling and that we're on the upswing. As far as we can detect there's a near equal probability of either being true. Writers have their own biases and economic homeostasis is dependent on both extreme perspectives coexisting.
Thanks a lot. Is it the same for 2d?

Med students don't have a lot of money, and hospitals are actually there (from their perspective, at least) to make money. The AMA doesn't have a lot of extra money either.
Years ago, I saw the idea proposed that the US should allow other countries to petition for admission as states.
Not sure how it's dystopian. If people can get a cheaper meal by eating at off-peak times, that doesn't seem a bad thing. It's already the case at some restaurants: I can think of several breakfast places that offer early-bird specials before a certain time. And IKEA does it at their restaurants with cheaper deals on Monday-Friday etc. And of course many bars do "happy hour" deals.

Dynamic pricing ultimately makes more efficient use of scarce resources (staff time, tables, etc), which benefits everyone.
They may do something to keep all the bureaucracy around, like structure things so they take money from one of their pockets and put it in the other, such that a staff is still needed to fill out paperwork and move money from one ledger to another. They might keep student loan administrators around to "loan" the students money, paid off by the endowment, securing the jobs of all the people doing all the overhead.
Not quite VMware but we switched from Algolia to Typesense.

Algolia overage charges are a fortune. If we kept on going we’d be burning an equivalent software engineer worth of salary.

Now we give equivalent sum to a real human.

OK soooooo.... Prediction is there is going to be a correction as % holding stocks are currently close to an all-time high. So what asset am I buying right now?
Habaneros and Scotch Bonnets can have absolutely amazing pepper flavor: sweet, fruity and aromatic. The bell peppers I've had weren't even close.

Alas, I don't maintain the heat tolerance to eat them.
I really love Anki as a tool, especially to learn mechanical things (like vim key bindings), to remember arguments of key articles, and to situate myself back in the thoughts that I previously had.

For mechanical things:
I was able to learn lazygit keybindings by heart in a week that take care of 95% of my usage.

In the article _The Bitter Lesson_, what types of methods work better in the long run?
General methods that use computation (search/learning)

For situating myself:
I take a project I worked on and I make a card on what I found challenging, or the tools I used. Or what I learned after. A lot of our problem solving is pattern matching to things we've seen before so leveraging this is really powerful.
Yes. I think an actual artist, if you simply requested "a horse in a space suit" would not think that you were worried about literally protecting a horse in space.

Because, as I have repeatedly tried to explain to you, the idea of a horse in space is ridiculous and tends toward ridiculous renditions.

I'm going to stop replying to you now. Have a nice day.

Amazon actually does that, they're called flex workers. Shifts come with a pay rate and their are "surge" times where they need more workers and can't get enough
Yes. Might depend what country/region you're in. It's more common in some areas than others.
Sorry, but why is pdf better than html? If pdf is better, would you prefer every website just downloaded a pdf to your phone when you visit their url, instead of serving you html? If not, why is it different for a restaurant menu?
I also hate using kiosks. And yeah those screens are gross. But worse than that is that I have to learn their UI, and it gives them a chance to shove a set of screens between me and my food. I'm going to coin the term "sellutainment" to describe "entertaining the customer with their buying experience".
When have you ever seen a slammed Wendy’s? I’m sure there are, but I’ve never seen them…

It’s always in and out or chick fil a that is busy…
They don’t seem good because they aren’t good.
I don't think the correlation exists so much as it's been created by co-selection in many varieties. Consider many of the smaller, more ornamental, chile varieties: they're often quite spicy, but lack good flavor because they have an almost grassy solvent note in the background of their flavor profile.

That said, I get the hiccups (involuntary) when spice level exceeds a certain threshold, so I'd love if the flavor could be improved while keeping the spice level below my hiccup threshold.
society is a never ending ponzi, as long as people keep having kids.
Crafting new Linux schedulers with sched-ext, Rust and Ubuntu
Here's the playbook:

* Predict that the good times won't last
* When the economy is stable, keep posting that the bad times are around the corner
* Repeat until an economic situation occurs (it does not matter how long, just keep repeating)
* When an economic situation finally occurs, then say: "See. I predicted this."

Congrats, you are now an economist.
Looks great. I remember using bpftrace at work to debug a nasty performance issue, I went down the rabbit hole only to find a certain syscall was being called much too often. We managed to trace it back inside the sourcecode to a sleep(1 second), which was some sort of manual io scheduling commited by the CTO when the startup was early stage.
Removing those few lines and installing kyber fixed the issues!
As an admitted non-expert, the loophole part seems to be in the interpretation of a 30 seat limit on charters under part 135, along with the Part 380 "public charter operator".

I would say that the ability to break a problem down into manageable chunks is the mark of a sr dev.

I believe that I am perfectly capable of doing this. But if I have to "babysit" the LLM, its helpfulness decreases.
who has the attention span for that? After 1-2 times I'd just give up and default to the competitor - and Wendy's is by far my favorite fast food restaurant.
Sorry, that went over my head: do you estimate ChatGPT costs thousands of dollars to operate per user?
humanoid robots, eg Boston dynamics. balancing is just too complex compared to a simpler 2-way 2D inverted pendulum, and PID alone just isn't going to cut it.
It is insanely cheap, getting that much calories in less than 10 USD would be a dream in any developed or poor nation. Might not be the best calories but will keep you (under) fed for a long time.
Time-of-day pricing is a bit different from unpredictable dynamic pricing. If the customer can reasonably anticipate the expected pricing, that's different from being suddenly surprised at a price hike -- like with Uber-style surge pricing, which sometimes lines up with rush hour but sometimes at completely non-obvious times.

Also, in terms of customer psychology it would be better to display the maximum price at lunch time (or whenever the peak is) and the lower prices as a discount. Fees are bad, discounts are good, even if it works out to exactly the same prices.
It's lead time stuff for just-in-time. Ideally, employers would like to do that, yeah. But it's not easy to surge up on employees. But advanced shift calculation models try to optimize for that, yeah.

And workers that are too transient will fuck up your pipeline. So they need to be from your pool.
2020 is 4 years ago …
My very far future prediction is that either:

A. We retreat in the comfy matrix whilst we let robots rule the roost. If the matrix could simulate.. say.. Star Trek style exploration for you in a more interesting, comfortable and challenging way than reality, why would you want the watered down real version?

B. We digitize ourselves, but (most of us) prefer reality. To travel to a different world you get beamed over, into a vat-grown android body.

Human bodies are much too fragile for long distance space travel. Why add massive amounts of extra required resources (cryo-G couches, extra fuel due to those couches, bigger ship for those couches, redundancy, etc.) when you can just launch a robotic factory at much higher Gs, land (always perilous), let it bootstrap itself into a forward base, vat-grow a couple of android bodies and then you get to beam into the frontier :)

For the not-so-far future I see us putting a few bases on the moon and a very scrappy base on Mars, all manned by warm-blooded humans.
I've used Gemini and find it no worse than ChatGPT for the kind of questions I ask of it.
I decided I NEVER wanted to manage anyone at a large or even medium sized tech company.

Politically there is no winning:

- Your peer competitors (other VPs) are after you
- Your direct reports are after you (or you are accountable for them)
- The direct reports of other VPs are after you
- Your CEO is after you

You only have ways to lose. I dont know why anyoner would ever want one of those jobs, they are horrible.
You’re using vague but scary language without offering specifics. Sounds a lot like fear mongering.

Why should Canadians “get out”? That’s a pretty bold thing to call for. I think asking you to explain yourself is perfectly reasonable. So… why?

If you fear getting “bogged down” with words maybe you shouldn’t be engaging in a discussion board.
Out of curiosity, what do you see as the practical differences between taxpayers footing the bill compared to ratepayers given that most people pay both?

(In other words, is paying for this with higher taxes substantially better compared to paying for this with higher utility bills?)
You could turn on the paper tape punch at any time, and it would record every character sent to the printer. Then you could load the tape into the reader and turn it on and it would act as if you were typing at maximum speed (a whole 10 characters per second!) I don't recall any way to control either function remotely.
Bash runs the code before and then calls git commit.
I'd argue not just outsourcing, but ensuring that nobody gets to benefit from past labor or collective effort. By constantly varying prices and tailoring prices to the time, location and even the individual, efforts to shop around to find the best price for a given item are defeated, or enough confusion is introduced to lead to exhaustion.
Yes, you are stating the obvious assumptions that altruism is absent and there is an adversarial relationship between capital and labor with frequently diametric objectives. If companies are constantly complaining about "nobody wants to work" then they could move further up the labor supply curve by offering better wages-- but would it actually improve employer profits (via higher revenue) if they give up margin? If a McDonalds could serve 300 customers instead of 200 over a lunch rush, wouldn't it be beneficial to the employer?

From the employee side, they would get paid more, could pick up shifts at varying businesses based on their schedules. Then maybe at scale, such a platform would be incredibly useful for organizing labor. This obviously would terrify employers.

I'm not really debating, more of just sharing random ideas and complaining online, because this is basic game theory as to why employers wouldn't want such a tool (potentially higher labor costs short/long term, increased labor mobility, unionization risk, other issues like training/liability/insurance/taxes/etc.), but employees/labor could be greatly served by such a platform.
If you're OK with a single point of failure, sure, maybe.
I don’t disagree that adding “always” to every clause of the problem statement technically makes it less ambiguous.

> Does Netflix want you to be more productive? Meta?

Yes. If you can support yourself while only working 10 hours a week then you have another 30 hours you could be spending on watching Netflix or shit posting on Facebook.
I agree. I think it speaks to the trend to attempt to find technological or bureaucratic solutions to what are fundamentally social problems. More of these problems will crop up as society shifts from high trust to low trust.
I think that's more like $9k?
A defining feature of Oils is that it's compatible, not incompatible. It runs your old code because it's an upgrade of POSIX shell and bash.

The business model has run its course. They banked for years on superior software integrations than any individual provider could match. But when was the last time you didn't just book something directly nowadays? Maybe they live on as some kind of API provider, but the travel aggregators are starting to seem like something from a bygone era.

Does step 1 mean I can't rent my apartment from a company anymore? Seems complicated in that case, I don't want ro own a house, I don't know anything about them and I don't care.

I'd prefer if step 1 was something like "remove government subsidies to people who buy or own real estate". And step 2: Build publicly owned apartments.
This is true and a good point, and I think the past was genuinely more violent, but there is a confounding factor to homicide rates--medical care has also improved over time, and as a result, people today can survive physical attacks that would have been fatal in previous eras.
Doing more procedures exposes a physician to more risk, but those who do a lot of procedures generally are better at them. I'm an anesthesiologist, but I don't do infants or cardiac cases, and I haven't done them in long enough that I wouldn't want to do them without someone around to get me back in the groove.

Someone who does one vaginal delivery a month is not going to be as good at doing them as someone who does two or three a day. And they certainly won't be as good at cesarean sections. Delivering just one baby costs a hell of a lot of money in insurance, which is a major part of why family doctors in rural areas don't do that anymore.

By contrast, people who drive more miles - even if they are excellent drivers - are at higher risk of being in a collision because they have to deal with other people on the road, who may be terrible drivers.
That graph is productivity growth, and it's consistently positive.
Well, I don't every day.
