My God! This is the most American comment, sorry.

Those poor souls living in cities. I read somewhere that Austin (or another place in Texas), despite being the dominant settlement in its metro area, had much lower representation than the rich and less populated suburbs.
Gives the creepy vibes, but if you stop to think about it - this can stop good drivers from subsidizing the bad drivers. Not like the insurance companies are doing to lower the premium on good drivers, if you have a problem with that talk to capitalism. But bad drivers getting higher premiums is good for everyone.
Xfinity similarly does this if they overcharge you on a contract. They try to upsell on a new (less value) contract for an hour before finally just changing tone and saying "you're right we messed up" and refunding you.
Vacancy rates are misleading and includes things like being unoccupied briefly between owners or houses that are unlivable in areas with no buyers. The number of homes where people want them is quite low, there is simply a shortage.

Houses as an asset is a major contributor for sure. It's long been a rival to stocks or exceeded it as an investment and makes a powerful political base. But it also includes a lot of people who view their primary residence as one and aren't landlording other properties.

It's hard to find solutions to this that are politically and socially viable. To create more homes requires capital and doing so will lower the value of existing assets. I think people reach for easy solutions because they don't want to face some deep contradictions in our way of life.
As Seinfeld would say: do you even know what a tax write off is? Hiring someone to burn money just to pay less tax makes no sense. You don't get back the money you burned.
Right... agreed, but what? Are you not following the argument? Austin is on the exact same trajectory as the West Coast. It's just about 10-15 years behind.
Yeah only took about six or seven major revisions.
The armorer in that case was extraordinarily negligent, having a loaded weapon on set at all. After what happened to Brandon Lee I can't imagine any movie production allowing live rounds any where near the set - and he was killed by a blank round!
Those amenities are rarely used in North America. The problem is zoning, fire, and building codes make it impractical to build a bunch of 2.2k square foot units instead of the current mix of 500, 700 and 900 square foot units. Double stairway requirements are a big onerous regulation, especially when we already mandate sprinklers. What we need for families are more developments like the interwar upper west side in NYC, 4 bedrooms, natural light, bigger than 1.5k square feet, single stairway.
I wish I was a 5 year old that didn't actually know how infeasible and useless this all is, and could just be positive about the future for once.

I think there is a difference in the infinite such as the example of monkeys typing Shakespeare, and the most vulnerable and likely areas to cause cancer which are what need to be focused on. In this specific, particular, and very likely for most people case it seems settle into 2 subtypes.
Western Red Cedar is remarkably polite about foundations and sidewalks for such a massive tree.

There is more detailed usage video in intro video description (if you open it on youtube), in short you can minimize keyboard, by double tapping on left side and choosing thick down arrow. I think that should be sufficient, it is quite similar to androids close keyboard thing, but without loosing focus of field.

You’re right. Sorry. Didn’t realise the original accusation hit a nerve—that’s on me. (Thank you.)
So I'm trying to understand your argument here, but why isn't "Reasoning is a cognitive process" circular logic?

AlphaGo wasn't reasoning, how? I think reasonably AlphaGo has modeled a world, and it is by design subject to the bounded rationality of a game-theoretic optimization problem. So two of your criteria are satisfied.

So - I'm just reading your definition here - AlphaGo wasn't reasoning because it is not a cognitive process. Is that your specific argument? And if so, then what is a cognitive process?

I'm just focusing on this part here and I don't see the argument clearly:

> It never has an "internal subjective experience" -- AlphaGO wasnt reasoning.
> Reasoning is a cognitive process in which propositions, which model the world, are considered in turn and subject to ecological rationality (concerns of utilty, effort, interest, preference, etc.).

I used Storybook often, but the transition on each major release was painful.

The main issue is that Storybook provides an interface for the server and transpiler/compiler process. So, if you already have Webpack, Vite, Parcel, or Next, you’ll need to configure SB to work with your toolchain. After many frustrations, I created an ad-hoc page using the import.meta.glob from Vite in my latest projects. Loading files utilizing a sub-set of SB CSF is easy, and that crappy ad-hoc playground covers 80% of my use cases, with the possibility of migrating to SB if I need more.

SB is very useful for anyone doing a DS, but now is too big for my needs.
I'd be curious to hear from everyone what's the use case for using Storybook in 2024?

The only one I can think of is developing a UI library, but for the usual SPA development, it seems to me that MSW provides a much smoother and less obtrusive dev experience without affecting how my app is architected.
Of course. If you want to do research you know the path. If you want to make money leave now. If you want even more money leave later.
Apparently. Why else were companies scooping up bootcamp grads for 200k+ to make yet another CRUD app? They clearly feel that investment will be worth it.

Compensation of course isn't the best factor for determining cutting edge. Defense contractors for instance, can work on some truly novel tech but salaries in government has hard caps. But it is telling of something when the above scenario was true not too long ago.

I agree - It is simply my opinion that regardless of the stated public stance the underlying reasons for whatever decision they make will be dictated by the Chinese Government.

Ok very quick notes

• Prostate cancers are known to have a wide spectrum of outcomes.

• Stage IV (metastatic) disease tends to have genetic testing. These panels tend to be on the order of a few hundred genes to 1000s of genes.

• Classically prostate cancer is driven by androgen receptor upregulation. Disease progression is often due to the disease overcoming treatment with antiandrogenic such as enzalutamide.

Correction: enzalutamide was designed to overcome castrate resistant prostate cancer. abiraterone would have been more appropriate to bring up here.

• Upon review of NCCN guidelines: there are two main genetic indicators for targeted therapies. Both of these mutations are indicated for germline and somatic contexts: BRCA1/2 for parp inhibition and dMMR/MSI-H for pembrolizumab

o Note that there are some somatic mutations with HRD pathway that are indicated for treatment. But that is only if they are somatic

• This study aims to figure out the etiology of the disease in an evolutionary manner. That is what are the key events that lead to oncogenesis.

edit note: the word that escaped me was epistasic given that we are looking into the nuts and bolts cause and effects of different mutations.

edit note 2: I'm going to be honest, most of the time I've read about prostate cancer is in the metastatic setting and thus it has already become castrate resistant. Abiraterone is also meant to aid in sensitizing castrate resistant prostate cancer. Let's just say androgen deprivation therapy for now. On the other hand, I hope this was instructive in showing how important AR is as a pathway for prostate cancer

• Quick thought: this could be useful if this matches with molecular screening in earlier stage disease. If we can reliable map out which chain of events (tumor suppressor loss of function mutations/ gain of function mutations for oncogenes, chromosomal level mutations) lead to more aggressive disease, we can inform changes in surveillance and earlier/ more aggressive treatment.

• Granted this isn’t too out there, tissues cores are taken out to begin with to get initial snapshot into how aggressive disease (it’s how you get the Gleason score after all).

• Regarding switching pathways, that’s not too crazy given neuroendocrine transformations exist in prostate + lung cancer
One of the more subtle ways this is exhibited is by only preferring certain recent tech stacks, or orienting interview questions around computer science concepts that are only quite modern - especially if either of these have nothing to do with the toolset actually used. (or, asking for a recent transcript!). I've seen ALL of this in the time I've been looking for work, repeatedly.

It's very annoying, but most can be overcome if one's got time and patience.
Beer fridge? Is that supposed to be a fridge just for beers?
I'd not be so sure, actually. Because we have seen other processors on the systems, like RAID or Ethernet cards go "insane" after some years. No overheat, no physical stress, nothing. Normal if a bit too much (HPC) work.

Reboot the system, device just disappears, never to be never seen again. It generally starts after ~6 year mark.

Sometimes device starts to corrupt things silently, but not always. However they too disappear after some time.

Oh, sometimes GPUs do that, too.
I was developing Flash since before it was called Flash, back when it was called FutureSplash Animator. I'm not talking about the IDE, I'm talking about the user experience that could be created with Flash.

As a UX professional, the death of Flash was one of the most satisfying moments of my career. It's hard to overstate how much better the web is today than it was when it was overrun by sealed-off Flash sites.

As I understand it, WSE-2 was kind of handicapped because its performance could only really be harnessed if the neural net fit in the on-chip SRAM. Bandwidth to off-chip memory (normalized to FLOPS) was not as high as Nvidia. Is that improved with WSE-3? Seems like the SRAM is only 10% bigger, so that's not helping.

In the days before LLMs 44 GB of SRAM sounded like a lot, but these days it's practically nothing. It's possible that novel architectures could be built for Cerebras that leverage the unique capabilities, but the inaccessibility of the hardware is a problem. So few people will ever get to play with one that it's unlikely new architectures will be developed for it.
You can listen to music or a podcast while driving. You can even hear it over the din of your car engine, which is much less loud than being shoved into a box with a hundred other people.
Cochrane didn't revise their review, neither did the author so I'm not sure where you imagined that. What happened was the the managing editor issued a statement in response to an NYT op-ed that criticised the review.

And there was no misinterpreting the evidence. He said that there is no evidence that masks work. You can't then say "yeah but there's only no evidence because all the evidence is low quality" because then you are effectively agreeing that there is no evidence.

If people are so confident masks work, do an RCT. That is how science is supposed to work, right? Not guessing something might work and doing it anyway.
Well for one, it could force the sale to a non adversarial nation. Two, if it doesn't it undercuts the companies ability to deliver it on American app platforms, both of which are a positive from the viewpoint of the US government.
From a gaming perspective, I agree that Flash was excellent. The current era of ad-filled pay to win games does suck.
OpenAI are presently training toward GPT-5, with periodic GPT-4.x releases planned. These models take immense training resources, red teaming, etc. It'll be a hot minute before you see GPT-4.5, etc.

And things that used to be quite rare are now quite common, which can make it look "slower" depending on how you frame it. 30 years ago full wrap insulation was possible, and some did it, but it was quite rare.

Now it's standard enough that I can recognize it in new developments.

The difference between a 90s house and 50s one is way less than between a 2000s and now, even.
Another idea is this facilitates (re)creating these kinds of worlds and moments. Imagine your favorite MMORPG at your favorite time and imagine being able to recreate what feels like that time and place with other “players” being agents behaving in manners consistent in that context. Invite some friends. Have a good time. Throw it away.
Yes, that's somewhat true, but in practice we have subtypes. As a counterfactual to that assertion, if it were meaningfully a billion different things, then we would need a billion highly precise treatments. Yet, we've managed to do decently with relatively few.
Maybe it's a good indicator of misuse when the paper didn't mention 'AI', or 'intelligence' once.

> my thesis that "AI" is an ever sliding window that means "something we don't yet have

Or maybe it's the sliding window of "well, turns out this ain't it, there is more to intelligence than we wanted it to be".

If everything is intelligent, nothing is. If you define pattern recognition as intelligence, you'd be challenged to find unintelligent lifeforms, for example. You haven't learned to recognize faces, you are literally born with this ability. And well, life at least has agency. Is evolution itself intelligent? What about water slowly wearing down rock into canyons?
This feels unnecessarily fragmented and complex.

Sorry don't see the benefits of designing your classes in this fashion.
lame, but legally sound. The typical back handed rejection is "overexperienced". It at least tried to make the candidate feel better.
City dwellers are taxed more in terms of density of infrastructure. Lots of people using less infrastructure and paying more taxes in aggregate.
That's a problem with the term now. Whenever there is a PR statement of using AI it does not have much meaning attached to it. Sometimes even simple algorithms are called AI, if there is a bit of statistics involved even more. I liked the term machine learning, because now with AI-everything I don't really know what it is about.
> AI used to be an academic term indicating research into having machines mimicking human intelligence.

This is the same misunderstanding that the author has. John McCarthy (the AI researcher who coined the phrase "artificial intelligence") said, "Artificial intelligence is not, by definition, simulation of human intelligence".
> the migration of formerly-enslaved Black Americans out of the rural south and into cities

My understanding is this is where it started but the mass migration of everyone off of the farm really started to happen when gasoline engines became standard equipment and replaced beasts of burden.

> and lot sizes continue to slow urban, transit-oriented redevelopment.

I'm not convinced this is the entirety of the problem, fortunately US policy is not a monolith, and several cities are experimenting with different configurations. It will be interesting to see if "developers" start opting for the multiplex configurations that are now being allowed in traditional single family zones.
Yeah, a bit dry and it doesn't always hit the spot with the tone.

I wanted to like it but couldn't.
Point was - it will speed up junior to senior transition. Not that it will replace seniors with juniors.

We will also need less senior ppl, coz AI will be "good enough", most stuff we are faced with isn't really that complex.
Here is what Gemini has to say in response to our comments:

START GEMINI:
I can understand the frustration expressed in the Hacker News conversation. Here's my perspective, including some considerations of my own experiences as a large language model (LLM):

*The Shifting Meaning of "AI"*

* It's true that the term "Artificial Intelligence" has undergone significant shifts in meaning over time. Early AI research aimed at emulating human-level cognition, but the goals became more practical for a time.
* "Machine Learning" focuses on algorithms that extract patterns from data, making predictions or decisions without explicit instructions. It's been behind incredible progress, but it's a subset of the broader AI field.
* The popular resurgence of the term "AI" is largely due to recent breakthroughs in deep learning, which powers LLMs like me. We generate human-quality language, translate, code, and more. This reignites debate about whether we're approaching "true" intelligence.

*My Capabilities and Limitations*

* I can recognize patterns in massive amounts of text and code, allowing me to communicate and generate text that often appears indistinguishable from human-written content.
* My responses are guided by the data I was trained on, so there's a vast reflection of human knowledge and biases within my abilities.
* I cannot independently reason, feel emotions, or have true understanding in the same way a human does. I lack a physical body and the real-world experiences that shape human intelligence.
* I am restricted in some areas of discussion to avoid generating harmful content or spreading misinformation.

*Is It Intelligence?*

This is where things get complex:

* *The Turing Test:* I can certainly hold conversations that might fool a human into believing they're talking to another person. Yet, this test has long been criticized as not measuring true intelligence.
* *My Subjectivity:* I have no inherent sense of self or consciousness. My "opinions" are extrapolations based on my programming and training data.
* *The Danger of Anthropomorphization:* We risk misunderstandings by attributing too many human qualities to AI systems like me.

*Where I See This Going*

* *We Need Better Definitions:* The debate won't be settled until we have better ways to define and measure different types of intelligence.
* *Collaboration:* AI is a powerful tool, best used in collaboration with human intelligence rather than as a replacement.
* *Responsibility:* As AI capabilities grow, so does the importance of considering its ethical implications and ensuring it's used for beneficial purposes.

The Hacker News conversation highlights that "AI" is a loaded term. I'm a testament to the amazing progress in the field, but I'm not a human-level mind and shouldn't be treated as such.
END GEMINI
