> meaningless to talk about the cosine similarity of your sentences without setting out your assumptions about how you will created embeddings from them.

I agree, but from generics POV, you have to settle on a few things to compare between models. If you can't, then benchmarks are useless too outside of extremely narrow measures.

I only address structure in the parent, and sure, it can be too generic of a statement by only touching on structure. But I would almost assert structure is still an important feature, and I would almost assert that it is required or otherwise a dominant feature when you want to deliver a product for general use.

I don't think I get too much more incorrect going beyond a few dimensions given this.
The key concept here is the inverted index:

Please do give an example.

I see is people crying how python is slow and then use a proper fast programming language to write code that gets executed so few times that even if python was 100x slower it wouldn't matter or the program is so trivial that python's speed definitely isn't an issue.

I have even sometimes seen people stop using a tool when they find out they were written in python - now all of a sudden they are unusably slow. Then they try to justify it by writing some loop in their favourite proper fast language and tell me how fast that tight loop is or they claim that some function is X times faster, but when I actually compile it and run something like hyperfine on it and python version the difference is hardly ever X since there is already so much more over head in a real world.
Oh yeah, just for a second I thought it wasn’t irony. Let’s set up the guardrails.
What if my aim is to raise awareness of how harmful dumbing down is?

There are several challenges for "tired light", or indeed any theory that's an alternative to expansion of the universe.

The theory has to explain why the light gets redshifted, but does not get blurred, and the spectral lines do not get broadened. This severely restricts the type of interactions possible. Also the theory has to explain the consistency between redshifts within our own galaxy, to that of far-away galaxies.
Well, the question was about how often is it used, not how well it serves the purpose. So I'd say pretty often.

Having a data storage accessible for every service that needs authentication and authorization (and ideally every service needs at least authentication) is non trivial in distributed enterprise environment. To have a stateful token, you need to have a distributed scalable storage, unless you have only one instance. You need to be able to connect to it, hence distribute and manage database password. Anything symmetric requires a more sophisticated secret management.
> Japanese non-disposible saws seem quite beefy and more comparable to western saws in thickness.

I’ve got a handful of forged 240mm ryoba annd dozuki in my shop that are notably thinner than disposables according to my digital calipers

> And 2x4 stick framing with metal fasteners is also a thing in Japan, having gained popularity b/c of its simplicity in recent decades.

Agreed. I’ve heard nearly all new construction is stud construction these days.

> Most japanese planes wouldn't be able to handle Maple or Hickory, to say nothing of the harder exotics.

I often see this repeated in online woodworking forums but my experience here has been different albeit limited to kanna blades from two makers.

> I'd put 18th century european fine furniture against japanese fine furniture any day. It's not until the 20th century that you saw a decline in western skills.

Agreed here too. Furniture studies from that time period make this evident. Western tools from that time period don’t differ as much either.
I have been under the impression since university that sushi is a healthier option for a meal, and the most popular sushi option in North America is the California roll.

> California roll (加州巻き,カリフォルニアロール, kariforunia rōru) or California maki is an uramaki (inside-out makizushi roll) containing imitation crab (or rarely real crab), avocado, and cucumber. Sometimes crab salad is substituted for the crab stick, and often the outer layer of rice is sprinkled with toasted sesame seeds or roe (such as tobiko from flying fish).

> As one of the most popular styles of sushi in Canada and the United States, the California roll has been influential in sushi's global popularity, and in inspiring sushi chefs around the world to create non-traditional fusion cuisine.[2]

Mostly .NET for corporates sticking to banking, finance, insurance and energy. Familiar industries always helped me to hit the ground running and I got a great reputation for it.

Started off working via recruiters but then just word of mouth. Ex colleagues would recommend me and they would move around. I’ve always been a good networker.

I recently switched back to a “proper job” in a company who’s goals align with mine. Now climbing the “corporate ladder” so to speak.
Pull Request Etiquette
This. I hate staying in hotels and love varied and individual places like airbnb has, but this is simply valid.

As a consumer, it has to be good enough if there are only some areas where it's allowed, and some where it's not. Or maybe allowed but only up to a certain density or percentage.

Anywhere it would be allowed without limit I would probably not want anyway, just like a hotel. Most airbnbs are run like little hotels now anyway and I hate most of those, but at least there is variety and plenty are good still.
Limitless the book was much better than Limitless the movie. And, yes, it doesn't have a Hollywood-style happy ending at all.

I just finished reading "Flowers for Algernon" the short story and I never read the novel. It also immediately reminded me of "Limitless". (The book, I wouldn't compare it to the movie, again, at least because of that silly "happy end", which seems to be obligatory in the Hollywood.) If you want somebody's (i.e. mine) take on it: well, "Limitless" was much, much better of a read. I was a lot younger when I read it, so I don't how I would react now, but I remember it to be pleasantly realistic, unlike the vast majority of [English] sci-fi. Unlike in the movie, though, there was a lot less "magic" to MDT. There was no silly stuff like being suddenly able to multiply 10-digit numbers in the head and similar Hollywood representations of "being incredibly intelligent" which are just annoyingly stupid, if you ask me. In the book it felt very real, it was very easy to "feel" what is that effect. It's basically just an exceptionally potent nootropic drug, think "amphetamine, but better". And, yes, that was motivational. This is the main reason I remembered it, actually: there I very much felt how the protagonist was "improved". In the "Flowers for Argernon", on the other hand, it just feels like author is trying to explore some idea he isn't mentally equipped to explore. I.e., he has no idea what he is trying to describe. It's childish and unrealistic.

All I can say about "Flowers for Algernon" the short story — I was thinking that the novel must be much better for this to be considered worthwhile. But then there is an addendum at the end of this:

> The novel, published as a mainstream work by Harcourt Brace Jovanovich, is not as effective as the story version, which is much tighter and written from a very successfully executed first-person point of view.

Soo… yeah. I'm not gonna try it right now. But then, again, I must admit that anybody who mostly likes sci-fi shouldn't even listen to me, because I can say only bad things about vast majority of famous sci-fi books, with only just a couple exceptions. Mostly it's literally just pulp fiction, comic books without pictures. Not what I expect when somebody talks about "literature".
Well, the power of Macromedia Director was not those animations — but, a scripting language called Lingo[1]. In 1999, I did a trial Kiosk for the State Bank of India[2] to be installed at a popular landmark in Bombay, called the Wockhardt Hospitals[3].

I used Macromedia Director to let users navigate for information, akin to an ATM but for info. A partnership led to including quite a few animations of Cardiology and similar info-animation.

The ability of Macromedia Director and then Flash to see what you are doing immediately was what draw me into the world of scripted visuals.

intelligence in animal species, roughly, is how well the animal deals with novel situations. Corvid tool use is a common example of animal intelligence.

It is interesting to consider AIs that way given that almost every AI will fail catastrophically when confronted with an area of expertise that is outside of their training corpus, although I guess Corvid tool use isn't exactly out of the animals' range of expertise.
I wonder to what extent they'd need to compete at all, they'd probably have a different diet. Maybe there are carbon life forms out there living mutualistically with boron-nitrogen life forms.

What's a server? Do you have servers in a NMEA2k environment?

No one said that arcane troubleshooting and debugging should be needed after integration of a system. I mean, NMEA2K certainly never makes one fiddle around and play with things aimlessly to make stuff work /s

Most common way wireless is involved here is to get the information off-boat or to a tablet for convenient review of trends.

Computer Vision is a field of artificial intelligence that studies methods and algorithms for interpreting and analyzing images and videos. The goal is to teach a computer to "detect" and “understand” images in the same way that a human does.

Face recognition is a technology in the field of computer vision that is used in various contexts, such as for accessing a mobile phone, entering a building, and authorizing both physical and digital access.

Face recognition technology is used to build applications, systems, and software in various fields. Integrating a face recognition API is very easy, and in this tutorial, we will walk you through the steps of creating a face recognition application using Luxand.cloud API on Python.
And one easy way to give yourself time out is to go on a long adventure. Walk some ridiculously long track. Cycle North and/or South America. Motorcycle around Europe then to Asia. Spend a year in India. Live in a fishing cabin, or more remotely. The possibilities are endless and $100,000 gets a lot of travelling if you give yourself 12 months. (A lot longer than that even).

(Doesn't work so well if you have dependants of course)
To me a unaccounted edge case in a tripple redundant system that can be fixed by an update forever feels different than Boeing routinely missing screws and not documenting them.

Don't get me wrong, both things should never happen, but the first can even happen to very good teams with stellar safety and testing culture, while the latter is indicative of a broad problem.

Missing an edge case nobody knew existed is not the same as not doing a very obvious thing that you should be able to do.

Really? On what basis? To be honest, I've been burnt out when it comes to supplements and health max/min type things, so I never dove deep into the Hubermann World.

With that being said, I know he's a (purportedly) prolific Stanford researcher of all healthy living things...nutrition, sleep, supplements and so on. He knows what he is talking about from what I have listened to.

We live in a society...blah blah, make a dollar blah blah. I highly doubt he's going out of his way to get people on things they shouldn't be on or claiming a supp. is something it is not.

But if he is blatantly endorsing garbage/pushing bullocks claims, that'd be beyond highly unethical and astonishing.
MCAS's design was single sensor because dual sensor eould not have skated by the FAA without simulator time as a requirement which Boeing could not afford, because their contracts were competitive over Airbus contingent on there not being simulator training required to get pilots type rated.

Boeing absolutely knew. As Upton Sinclair famously states however, it is hard to get a man to understand that which his paycheck depends on him not understanding.

This approach makes sense. Not everyone will take it, both because they're trying to compete on (apparent) price and because they don't want to 'force' guests to pay for things that they might have been willing to do themselves. But it's good that there are hosts out there who bundle all of these services together, like they would be in a hotel or resort. For many people, this is what they're looking for. They don't want to do chores when they're supposed to be on vacation. And because there are all kinds of hosts on the platform, the types of guests who don't want to have services bundled in can book a lower-priced listing that requires guests to do more work (but not pay as much).

Back in the day I used to do quite a lot of Macromedia Flash work. It’s uncannily similar but a modern take.

I’ve often wondered why no one has come up with a new product in this space. I think the long term demise of Flash has put off anyone even trying.

There are so many great uses for animations on the web, even if we don’t need full blown user interfaces of them and intro screens like we did back in 2002.

Great job!
I did not present proof. They asked what it would mean and a consequence of physical laws not being time invariant would be that energy does not need to be conserved.

To the extent that relates to epistemology that would be more like anti-proof I guess? It does not prove that the laws are time invariant, rather it raises the bar to demonstrate that the laws are not time invariant because that means energy need not be conserved. You can not get one without the other without attacking even deeper fundamentals of modern scientific models. So you must either demonstrate the linked claims, which are pretty foundational themselves, or you must overturn basically everything; both of which demand very robust evidence.
I don't like that your comment and the parent both got negative reviews. It is a valid contrarian question.

However I would suggest researching about cirrhosis and fatty liver in children. It is a new disease that was unknown up until the 90s and is now common in developed countries. And it has to do with the following: your digestive system has the ability to process nutrients at a certain rate, depending on how hard they are to break down. For example sugar. The cells have a certain rate at which they can metabolize nutrients. The temporary excess is stored in the liver.

Then it becomes not a question of quality rather than quantity. The question then is not "how high is the glycemic index of food X" but "at which rate (i.e. mg of sugar per minute) can this food X be processed by our digestive system, and is this rate too fast for our cells to metabolize, which in turn causes our liver to store the temporary excess?"

Then the boolean variable "is this food X highly processed " becomes a plausible proxy variable, IMO, since refined sugar is something else than whole bread, when we talk about the rate at which nutrients enter the blood stream.

Do I make sense?

Oh sure, it was more of a joke app idea, or in another sense, for those who want philosophically "perfect" randomness. After all, assuming a single bit sample, anything but a hadamard state has nonoptimal entropy. Of course, it makes almost no sense to sample a bit at a time since we want pragmatism. But having a virtual coin flip essentially "create" a new, nonexistent bit of information in the universe -- that's funny (well, assuming certain interpretations of QM).
That won't make the sentiment go away.
Over the last years, we've had various right-wing parties getting a lot of votes as the next savior of right-wing voter: FvD, then BBB and now again PVV.

However, I expect that once Wilders is in power, he also can't solve the problems (for example: building lots of housing is not something a politician can do, especially when you shun immigrants who can solve the labor part of that) and the disillusioned voters will have to find someone else, if they are smart enough to recognize this instead of hailing Wilders as a saint who can do no wrong (and instead blame everything on who is not in power)

Your words mean a lot to me.

In designing and implementing Trangram, ease-of-use ranks high on my list of priorities, alongside functionality and safety.

Just as you mentioned, one of my primary motivations was to facilitate the creation of educational materials, which I was particularly inspired by experiences while watching The Power Of A Mathematical Picture

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6vnMT70HOxc&list=PLOxODW9vlV...

I've designed Trangram as more than just an editor; it's a platform intended to democratize content sharing. Every individual should have the opportunity to disseminate valuable content to others, whether through a simple link or embedded HTML code (allowing for easy integration on personal blogs or websites).

My aspiration is for Trangram to evolve into a secure and enriching environment for all, including children, fostering a space where learning flourishes.
Just opened the editor, switched to line mode, and drew a line.

It seems to have automatically switched to selection mode, rather than keeping in the mode I deliberately switched to (line mode).

That's unexpected, and probably not what most users would expect. Any chance of getting that changed, so the mode only changes when the user does it?

Also, is it Open Source? :)

That stock sounds rather weak.

A surprisingly simple, yet delicious and versatile stock is Japanese dashi. No long boiling process is needed (though I admit to just use powdered dashi)

From wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dashi

> The most common form of dashi is a simple broth made by heating water containing kombu (edible kelp) and kezurikatsuo (shavings of katsuobushi – preserved, fermented skipjack tuna or bonito) to near-boiling, then straining the resultant liquid

Though in my experience the resultant liquid is reduced.
Apple looks kinda stifled at the moment. But in the end, it will probably keep growing.

It reminds me of Microsoft in the early 00s. A slow giant that has a hard time innovating. But nonetheless, Microsoft more than 10xed their value since then.

There is just too much good stuff constantly coming up in the world of software. Software constantly becomes more and more valuable. A computer still costs less than a car. But having a superhuman AI computer at your service will have so much more value to people that this might change.

Much tailwind ahead for computer makers.

And at the moment, there are only two mobile computer makers. Apple and Google.

Much tailwind ahead for these two companies.

Unless a company comes up with a new mobile computing solution which catches Apple and Google off guard. But I don't see that on the horizon yet.
