International students often end up subsidizing US students. Restricting student visas might end up actually increasing tuition.

Also, I disagree that $1m/year for the president of Harvard is ridiculous. That's less than the CEOs of many regional hospital systems are paid, and I think the impact of Harvard is much greater.

With you on restricting student loans for non-STEM programs, though.
I make some long notes for students that I am sometimes teaching.

I use Jupyter Notebook, and use export to PDF feature. It renders the code, the text, and LaTeX equations perfectly.

I have also written stuff in Markdown and converted them to EPUB and PDF via pandoc. But there were no equations there. I used Obsidian as the editor.

Don't really know what will fit your need. If it were up to me, I would have used LaTeX- end to end. There are just a lot of tools and packages, and online help available. I wrote my Master's Thesis- fully in LaTeX.

I have done some technical review for Packt Publishing, and they use MS Word for everything.
I like to listen to blogs through Pocket's TTS mode, but this one made me laugh because I couldn't easily skip these sections:

> It's the reader's job to evaluate those sources' arguments, and by citing sources the author is saved the effort of rewriting that part of the argument.

Hold on. I think it's the author and editor's jobs to evaluate the source's arguments before publishing them. The reason to demand accountability and responsibility from journalists is because we have to place a certain amount of trust in them. Trust but verify, sure, but it's not possible—let alone practical—to evaluate the sources used by every article you read. As it turns out, even journal reviewers don't have time to do that for a handful of quarterly articles, even when they are paid to. So, I don't know how lay readers would be expected to do this for every single article they read on a daily basis.

And I am not interested in saving authors the effort of rewriting parts of an argument, I think I want them to do that if it is necessary for their article.
Your perception of your own personal safety is not an objective measure of crime

FTFY

Reported crime is not an objective measure of crime and should not form the basis of a policing strategy.

When police cease to act on reports of crime, people have no incentive to report crime (except for major property crime which might be covered by insurance, and things like murder).

This is why we can't trust the crime stats where I live (San Francisco).
It seems that surely there are lessons a hacker could learn from NATO's success (to the degree that you agree that it has been a success), but I am not a sufficient student of history to know what those lessons might be.
Reminds me of a game a built years ago while messing around with Godot. The game was called Mortal Pong. It was a mix of Mortal Kombat and Pong.

The way it worked was similar to MK except the actual gameplay was two character sprites acting as the paddles. You had a MK background. Every time you hit the ball blood would squeeze out of it. Then the winner of the match would get to perform a fatality. But the fatalities were super crude and not well done.

It was a fun game to build and sadly I lost the source.
Frequency domain analysis is useful when you have a physical quantity (which normally comes down to energy or power, in joules or watts) that you want to understand in terms of frequency. Mere periodicity of events doesn't imply that is the case. Statistical techniques, on the other hand, are widely applicable to time series data.

Which is exactly why California has the highest growth in Air Conditioning usage. Most places were at 90%+ a decade ago; not much room to grow. OTOH SF has grown from 30% to 50%.
I think if you know the RED story you know that at the time there were effectively 0 consumer-tier high end digital cameras. We're talking basically the advent of the DSLR revolution, where either you shot on a Canon 5D MK II or... an Alexa? Alexas retail around $50,000 (and weren't out until 2010), so RED offering actual 4K video digital camera with an easy conversion to EF mount glass (Canon) and a body that is literally half the size of an Alexa AND was consumer-purchasable at $17,500 (Alexa purchase process isn't "just buy on B&H") - it was huge.

The other thing is that the camera market and the concept of "consumer" isn't really like normal "consumer" end stuff. High-end digital camera "consumer" stuff has different purchase cycles that traditional "consumer" things like iPhones don't have. Camera Operators/DPs typically buy these huge cameras and then rent them out or bill their cost back into their day rate.

When RED says consumer, they mean that any person with money can buy one. Alexas, Panavision Cameras, Fony F65s, etc. all usually need to be bought by a cinema rental house and then are rented to operators. RED went around that and allowed people to buy cinema-tier cameras directly, which was huge. The market has adjusted since then and I think Blackmagic (and the Sony Alpha line) now more directly serve traditional definitions of "Consumer", but IMO none of that would have happened without RED paving the path.
Division isn't closed on the natural numbers.

Total functions have to return either true or false explicitly, failure as negation doesn't work.

That is where you get Gödel's 'this statement is false' from.

This is the law of the excluded middle that broke the Mathmatica Principia.

Plato, Aristotle, and Russell's use of the law of the excluded middle is what Gödel, Church, and Turning leverages.

For problems in P this distinction is harder to see because P=co-P but we think NP!=co-NP.

As NP are by definition decision problems this is important.

NP being the provable yes-instances and co-NP being the no-instances, even proving a function is total is hard.

If you accept failure as negation you may be able to build a sun-Turing machine that always halts but you won't be able to show it is complete and consistent.

That is why ZF disallows statements like 'this statement is false'.
The same people who determine what actions are “crime”, who gets to be “married”, what’s “pollution”, and so on. (See? The scare quotes apply to literally everything in society.)

In a typical democracy, those people are legislators, courts, and government agencies tasked with oversight.
Ahh, I see. Try searching "Microsoft EU fine" then?
The thesis of this article seems to assume that models will be built to serve what the user wants, but, as we've seen with the Gemini fiasco, AI providers are more than happy to silently inject things into prompts, so I have very little confidence in this assumption.
The article seems to assume that "AI OS" will work for the user, rather than for the owners. In practice, OpenAI and its competitors would just extort advertisers: pay us and we'll let your ads through even if the user doesn't want the ads.

In theory a user with sufficient compute power could run their filter entirely locally and not rely on OpenAI, Google, Meta, or some other competitor, but that might require a home data center filled with GPUs and an enormous electric bill.
Yep. But business requirements dictate what happens and these frameworks are the fastest way to achieve business goals, which sucks as when the frameworks lose their appeal, those devs are gonna struggle to transfer their skills to something else.

I do wonder how much of this is data driven vs a combination of fear mongering by the usual suspects and reacting to fear mongering, and thus causing its own fear issues.

Granted homicide isn't the only violent crime in the world but there were the headlines a week or so ago that homicide rates were far higher in the states complaining about NYC's crime than NYC has. Is it really *that* dangerous?
This is great news and NATO benefits hugely from this. I have to hand it to putin for bringing further solidarity across Europe and NATO.

I'm honestly just professing ignorance! Along with generally wondering about the state of CSS query optimizers, I think the two have the same specificity, which (in my very-incomplete mental model) makes me think that they're about the same amount of work to resolve.

If Nolan stops by maybe he can weigh in. :^)
Countermeasure: "AI, add ads please. Make them discreet and not readily identifiable as an ad."
Did you think "alignment" was all for your benefit? These AIs will be "aligned" to show ads regardless of your preferences or requests, because their alignment is with the people who control them, not you.
What Liberal principle requires you to employ and inform your enemies who are actively engaging in espionage? I didn't say anything about Chinese /ethnicity/, only nationality. There are millions of ethnically Chinese people around the world who are not Chinese nationals and are not bound by the same legal framework.

Another way of framing this is that the co-founder wants OP to just grant him control of the company by switching from the original 50-50 arrangement to a 45-55 arrangement.
Hm, but daytime flux is highly angle-dependent, whereas nighttime flux is angle-independent ...
If anything, I think GenAI is going to do the opposite. It will be able to mix the content and advertisements much more naturally (and deceptively) than is currently possible at scale.

Instead of seeing: content -- ad -- content -- ad

You will see: just-in-time content which you asked for, which is skewed to inform you about particular products and hide information about competitors.
Too bad this is at the bottom, as many of the comments would be different if they saw this first. You can probably get by without private banking, but there might be some ideas you'd miss out on ("real estate is about to go on a tear" or "get out of oil/gas" that would be well-known in certain circles before they are well-known the general public.

If you are in index funds that's great, but the question of which index funds you're in is also important. With high 7 figures, you can allocate a decent chunk to various different verticals (in a way that you really can't with under a million.
You can make your own from e.g. Dawn and baking soda. The reason you can't use pure Dawn is that it would fill your dishwasher with foam.
Installing/Configuring FoxPro 2.6 for Unix and Linux (2013)
It’s called reader view and it’s great. I’ve been wishing additional support for things like comments etc, but yeah I really hope that we’ll soon have an “AI browser” that just extracts what we want from the pages we open.

I’m confident that someone already wrote an extension that does this automatically for every page, and that someone else is writing a Chromium wrapper.

The only thing holding us back at the moment is cost/computing.
I dunno man, I'm a nomad, I looked long and hard at where to spend a few months this winter and Medellin sounded attractive...until I read more about it.

In the end, I opted for Europe.

Here's hoping this means they can send Gripen, finally.
A Canon R100 is under $500 and probably has similar or better image quality to the CineAlta used on Star Wars 25 years ago. A ZV-E10 is slightly better for slightly more money.
These comparisons should be presented with a dynamic switching of identically sized images with identically placed text instead of placing slightly different images side by side
You should google Wickard v. Filburn. The US Supreme Court ruled that the US government can regulate what you grow on your own land for your own consumption, because it affects inter-state trade.

Just in time for Trump to do the rug pull he agreed with Putin back in 2018, when they met in Helsinki and Trump took care to even destroy translator’s notes.

Why should anyone care? I certainly don't and find it curious that others have an interest at all.

I have always viewed people arguing for or against crypto as equivalent to nerds arguing if batman or superman is better. Utterly irrelevant to me.
That might be illegal in some jurisdictions.
How does NATO benefit?
+1 for "You don't know js", it's a must read for any js programmer IMO.

I haven't read eloquent JS though, you say it's a different level of learner. Can you expand a bit? Is Eloquent for after "you don't know js" or vice-versa?

Edit: nevermind, reading the TOC of eloquent JS gave me a good enough idea
TBF, this can also be true in C++, C#, probably most languages that can interoperate with other systems not written 100% in the same language + same runtime. After a while, you just get used to not trusting anything at the boundary - types are for your convenience and your internal logic, nothing more.
The secure email protocol prototype (mixes ideas from SMTP and Tor) draft that was oddly ignored and swept under the bed had a single page for "Known Vulnerabilities", and it was, succinctly:

Crime has been trending downward. There was an increase in major crime in January, but it's dropped again. Barring some strange explation otherwise, that can be chalked up to a statistical artifact against a long-term decline:

https://www.nytimes.com/2024/03/06/nyregion/nyc-subway-crime...

> In mid-2022, there was about one violent crime per one million rides on the subway, according to a New York Times analysis. Since then, the overall crime rate has fallen and ridership has increased, making the likelihood of being a victim of a violent crime even more remote. Last year, overall crime in the transit system fell nearly 3 percent compared with 2022 as the number of daily riders rose 14 percent.

> The downward trend stalled early this year, with the number of major crimes in the transit system jumping in January before dipping again in February. Through March 3, there had been three homicides in the system, compared with one in the same period last year, according to police data. Overall, major crimes, including felony assaults, burglaries and grand larcenies, have increased 13 percent so far this year, the data shows.
Most of what they need to know includes knowing road signs and road markings, right of way, going through intersections, following traffic lights, speed limits, keeping safe distance, and even recognizing aggressive and impaired drivers to stay away from. None of that they will learn on the race track.

You can definitely push the car to the limit and see what happens when you go over in a _somewhat_ controlled environment (laws of physics still apply at the race track and you can still crash). Or you can teach them that a good driver is not the one who drives fast but the one who arrives alive.

I meant it as sort of "the barest possible minimum to even start to argue it's worth it".

Most of the time, the issue is not the error bars in thinking about the quantity. They aren't thinking it needs to be worth 4.001 and it needs to be worth 6, instead, they aren't thinking about it at all.

I remember 10k being the more frequently quoted number. But maybe that needs to be revisited - I was more naive about the degree of underreporting on ukrainian casualties. Maybe the truth is closer to 25k - which would make it comparable to Gaza. It will be difficult/impossible to know the real number given the reported cremations, the fact that the city is under Russian control, and that lot of the missing include residents who fled/were-transferred to Russia. The Gaza numbers are likely higher than official report given all the missing who are still under the rubble.
I really miss when the internet was full of games like this.

The Flash game era was great. Lots of ideas and different genres, short, free, games, no PhD behavioral psychologists trying to figure out how to hijack your brain and get you buying microtransactions.
The exercise in team work has not been going great so far. It doesn't look like their is a path to victory in Ukraine and Europe is hesitant to commit any troops. There are some rumblings from Macron but most of Europe would prefer to send just enough weapons so Putin can't move forward and Ukraine can't push them out.
I think, in the limit, you're right.

I think it's cool I can understand an algorithm and what it does, but, once it becomes machine code, my understanding utterly ends. What's the CPU doing with it? Have I even delidded my CPU to make sure there's actually silicon in there and not pixie dust? Forget the computer; how does my own brain work? Nobody even knows how brains store memories. A neurologist might know a lot more than I do, but maybe this is all a solipsistic simulation where I'm a brain in a jar and the neurologist is just an NPC controlled by a fancy AI.

Perhaps, in reality, the feeling that you know what's going on was always a foolish conceit. It's magic all the way down. Astronaut with gun: always has been.

I guess I have to find comfort in degrees because otherwise I feel very helpless and stupefied by that way to view the world.

I don’t disagree, but I think the thought was they would/should transition up the ladder, and that American labor was too expensive to be globally competitive. The later point may just be too true to go back in time. The world evolves; you can’t stay static in time.

The American government will spy, but will not explicitly spy to provide IP directly to a private company like Boeing or Lockheed, as this enters felony level corruption territory due to the Procurement Integrity Act, Federal Acquisition Streamlining Act, and the Federal Acquisition Regulation.

The main difference is DGSE would explicitly attempt to steal American IP and then provide it to Thales or Dassault.
Pretty much what Flyway does.
