Sure, I’m arguing that the minority needs to be moved up a few more pecs. Try $4 million instead of $400k.

$400k is not enough to buy a house in Cupertino, not enough to start a family, not enough to enjoy an upper middle class lifestyle. But go ahead. Apply a blanket all rate to everyone.

Yes, I understand that $400k is a lot for many parts of the world/country.
Yen Drops to Lowest Since 1990
I tried something similar last week [https://guitar2tabs.klang.io], so I just ran yours with the same song [Surfin St. Helens by The Volcanos] to see how they compared.

* Lamucal did better on the chords--to my ear they're not perfect [e.g. D vs. D minor], but guitar2tabs couldn't do chords at all.
* Guitar2tabs did pretty well at figuring out the melody; they couldn't grok the rhythm, but got a pretty decent sequence of notes. Lamucal didn't even try; the "tab" is just a list of chords.

One very nice feature of guitar2tabs is that you can play either the original audio or the extracted music, so you can hear how close it is. I'd recommend adding that--just playing the original is still useful, to see they sync with the extracted music, but playing the extraction is more so.

These are stupid games. Yes, if you have the cash to buy the car, you might consider playing stupid games. (But watch out for income taxes on that "5.0% yield". You might be playing for nothing.)

If you don't have the cash, which is the case for the vast majority of people who take out auto loans, there is no possibility of playing the game anyway. Don't buy a car you can't afford.

This isn't elitism or gatekeeping. Nobody needs a new car. We are on Hacker News. Compound interest is the ultimate financial life hack. Either you use it to your advantage, or other people use it to take advantage of you.
A few tips on going this route.

* This won't work well for cars with limited stock. If a model/trim is leaving as fast as it's coming in they will prefer to give it to someone with dealership financing.

* If buying new make sure to be very clear to a dealership if you are calling from out of state.
People die all the time dude.
Considering that death penalty is considered a punishment so great that lots of states banned it, I guess people think that death already punished the person so badly that their sins can be considered absolved. So whether or not people sanitize dead people's image correlates to their opinion on death itself.
>Will the traders at Cargill, Vitol, Exxon, Trafigura, Glencore buy it? Do they want to take the time to "learn" another tool?

Traders like money. Anything that would enable them to keep more of what they "kill" at bonus time would be popular.
>GET YOUR FINANCING THROUGH THE CREDIT UNION BEFORE YOU EVEN STEP ON THE LOT.

There is poor advice going on here, once you tell them you have financing they will have less flexibiltiy on the price of the car because the dealerships makes money on the financing.

Better advice is to play dumb and keep your financing in your back pocket for when you meet with the finance guy. Even initially indicate a willingness to use their financing. When with the finance guy ask them to beat your financing terms or offer to go with their financing if they kickback some if the benefit. Even if their terms are lousy, you can immediatly refinance, but still capture the lower cost if the car.
> If power or internet goes out, wired VOIP phones won't work. Both the power and the internet have way worse reliability than the copper wire telephone

That’s nothing inherent to phone lines, though.

Nothing prevents regulators from mandating fiber or cable providers to offer backup batteries as part of their ONTs and CPEs as well as fiber nodes.

Yes, it would be more expensive than not doing it, but maintaining a completely separate last-mile communications medium is not free either.

Maintaining all these generators, batteries etc. is probably at least as expensive, especially given that you can only charge so much for a landline these days, especially if you’re competing against voice over IP or cable that’s effectively free in terms of infrastructure.

If redundancy is a concern, mobile phone networks are probably much more economical except maybe in very sparsely populated areas, and provide coverage for road accidents as well.

I'd call one an actual safety concern (if no alternative is available) and the other nostalgia.
This only applies in ideal conditions (eg: dry tarmac). Where there is less surface friction (wet or icy surface, dirt or gravel trails, etc) you're going to quickly hit the limits of the tire's traction, so will need both brakes if you want to stop in the shortest possible distance.

This is excellent and very impressive. Have you thought about offering this as an API? I'd bet there are lots of startups that want to easily integrate better speech-to-text for conversational AI (e.g. word correction, adding punctuation, etc), and would pay you for the service.

(Personally, I would! Email me at matt@syntheticdreamlabs.com if you're interested in offering it as an API, I'd be pretty curious about pricing.)
Don’t tell them. Get the price of the car done then finance it elsewhere after it’s all in writing.
(EF Core has been allowing this for quite some time too with .FromSql method which uses string interpolation API to turn an interpolated string into a parametrized query behind the scenes mitigating injection risks.

Read it as well. It was eye opening to me that the dealers have this all worked out, have a strategy. Me wandering in like the mark I am.

The article changed me though. I had a guy try the four-square when I showed up and I almost laughed. "Go to your manager and get me the best price he can give me. I've got like 5 minutes and then I'm headed to another dealership."

Another time I played one dealership off another trying to get each to go lower than the other. One soon told me to fuck off so I bought the car from the other dealership. Oh well.

It's not like I was able to screw over the dealers or anything (there is an absolute bottom they will not sell below) but I think when you finally realize you have agency, have the money they want, can walk away, it made the process much less anxiety-inducing.
GameStop faces 'unsustainable' sales decline, cuts jobs to control costs
There are other times and places for criticizing the dead, either before or a bit after the person's passing. Not immediately after, and not where the grieving will congregate.

Obituaries can complicate that when they purport to be a biographical summary (such as for public figures), rather than a traditional formal announcement of memorial services with some kind words thrown in.

I hope to live long enough to say "Good riddance!" about the passings of multiple people who did bad things, but I'd do it privately, not be a jerk to the grieving.
ZSTD 1.5.6 Released – Celebrating Google Chrome Support for Zstandard Encoding
Dolphins seem to be just pilings tied together.. how could those withstand the impact of a loaded container ship?

For something a bit more sturdy, look at the main pylons of the Jacques Cartier bridge in Montreal [1] - these are meant to withstand annual ice rush, hundreds of tons of ice floe moving with the current of the river.

Interestingly, while the Saint Lawrence is a very active shipping channel, most shipping near the city moves through the seaway canal [2], which has solid earthen berms reinforced with concrete wherever it crosses a bridge span [3], [4] making it next to impossible for this type of accident to occur.

If memory serves right, the seaway was built to avoid the strong currents and wild rapids of the river; there are a set of locks [5] upriver, and the engineering around bridge crossings [6] seems consistent as you trace its path

These platforms cater to users who are seeking adult-oriented content and provide a space for them to explore their desires and fantasies in a digital environment.
OpenAI's value doesn't just come from their tech. Copyright Shield is a deal closer from business types I have spoken to. Telling a company, "if anyone we took data from has a problem they have to deal with our lawyers and not you" is music because what companies want most is stability and reliance. It's the entire reason SLAs are such a big deal in B2B.
If preventing remote code execution is the goal, then C/C++/Zig can also achieve this using isoheaps (see Fil-C[1] for example). Even without isoheaps, CFI mitigations are able to prevent jumps into code not known at compile time. Why bother with Rust or any other language with borrow checkers then? Just a honest question.

How about all the extra fees that the dealer will add? ("Destination charge", "Doc fee", "Total fees", etc, etc, I can't remember.) Is that included in the price that we are haggling with the dealer?
>"This flies in the face of survival of the fittest, species fitness, and all sorts of other evolutionary ideas."
For the counterexample, see pack animals and their dynamics. Re: Genghis, certainly force has a way of making exceptions to generalities, but in the average case the good guy gets the girl, holds down the stable, well-paying job in a socially adjusted manner, and thus the genes get spread.

Nope, if you have cash don't mention it, otherwise they will play hardball on the price since they now know they will not make money on the financing.

Tell them you are willing to go with their financing if you can get the price down. Get the financing then immediately payoff the loan in the first month.
Completely understand if you don’t have the time or desire to answer questions, but I’m curious whether you went programming -> MD or the other way around, and how you made the transition.
That tracks with what I have I assume the average wait times are. Given that its the average, I can only assume the ratio between actual emergencies and everything is worse than 10:1.

For that, I apologize. Maybe it comes down to fundamental problems in healthcare and most people not having a primary care physician, but I just can't imagine going to the ER with anything less than a very serious traumatic injury.
The challenge is that many people who have covid are asymptomatic, or have sufficiently mild symptoms that they never take a covid test.

At this point, I'd imagine that lots of people who think they've never had covid, just had mild cases. And it looks like the various long covid / post-viral type of issues can and do occur even in people who had asymptomatic infections.
Yes it does but it's the lambda symbol that's the impostor. An analogy of how it really works is to think of the transmitter as a water hose that is spraying water into a bucket, which is the receiver.
How many times have any of us created a PoC that gets deployed into production? Things fall down, and are attempted to be improved like changing a tire on car driving 60mph down the highway without pulling over.

Do you stop the car, take a look at everything, make changes, and then put the car back on the road? Do you pull into pit row, change the tires in <10s with top off of the tank, and then get back in the race? Do you take advantage of the run flat tires you chose in advance anticipating the this would be the likely outcome while hoping the other 3 tires stay inflated?

Fine-tuning as a supervised learning process ensures that the model understands and generates content that is highly relevant to a particular task. For example, when I fine-tuned language models used for sentiment analysis, their accuracy improved significantly. Whereas RAG with MyScale provides models with a broader knowledge base, enabling them to generate more contextualized and accurate responses, it faces challenges related to the quality and relevance of the retrieved information.

Got it and reply!

I must make the email in the homepage more prominent
I mean, out of college a while ago, I literally got a 0.5% APY car loan that my accountant told me I should, under no circumstances, pay down early. I bought a new car that I've essentially done nothing but do oil changes on for 10 years and I can essentially sell it for about what I paid for it 10 years ago and got compound interest on money I didn't have at the time, to buy a car that was essentially as cheap of a new car as I could get.

It's not that it's likely, but you can do the math on if the rate offered is worthwhile. It's probably not the case now that rates aren't in the 0-1% ranges and there's a chance they'll go down in the future, but "getting a loan for 1% and then investing in something that gets 4%" is essentially the underpinning of the fractional reserve banking system that's making a lot of money. You may as well see if they'll let you get it.
Hello, Sir. This are a lot of unknown words for me, sir. I am making sure that I learn them first. Thank You, sir.
You bring up a good point. How were these problems addressed before the internet?
Yep, have done that. Ask for the fleet dealer. I believe they deal with sales to businesses, etc.
Their user count and revenue has dropped like a rock. Obviously other factors are at play, but what decisive evidence is there? Even anecdotally I have to admit that I’ve clicked on Twitter links that unexpectedly failed to load and decided to hit the back button instead of trying to reload several times.
That's called stooping to their level. Yes, you can profit that way. But there are other ways to recoup that same profit, for example by being a better negotiator, or choosing a car that isn't sold through dealers and therefore is sold at a fixed price (as I mentioned in my original comment).

I know dealers engage in deception to increase their profit. I would prefer not to do the same in my personal life. I want to live ethically and honestly.
Yep. We’ve only ended up in the ER once for each kid (so far … knock on wood), but both times there were sudden onset symptoms that in my mind warranted urgent care but not the ER. Both times we called and were told that we could wait two weeks for an appointment or go to the ER, no in between.

Which bank has these mythical 5% interest savings accounts? I’m pretty sure that for most middle-class people, savings interest isn’t a real thing and can be safely disregarded when making decisions.
Did the math, this seems surprisingly spot on, at least from the energy perspective. 100k tons going 7.5 kts is about 160kg tnt equivalent which is a little less than the explosive power of a Mk83/GBU-32, probably not enough to take down an entire bridge, just one span if you're lucky. That said, the issue is the bomb expends most of its energy moving air around, the freighter expended nearly 100% of its energy on the bridge.
Ughh. This triggered the anxiety I feel when stuck in traffic on a tall bridge, like the Verrazzano bridge in NYC.
Another tip, don't discuss with your partner about the deal when the sales person goes to talk to the manager, you will notice a big phone on the desk that can act as a listening device.

Even better discuss how lousy the dea isl and how you are ready to walk.

While I personally am okay with giving a pass for new parents that are scared for their child, I don't get burdening our emergency system just because.

I'd chalk new parents up to a learning experience in a new and uncertain time. For anyone going to the ER because it fits better with your work schedule, don't clog up the system for anyone that's truly in need and increase prices for everyone else.
Talk to your local Agricultural Extension Office (often by county), and/or your local Master Gardener program.

Good luck.

Not trying to hijack this. Great demo! But STT can be very much real-time now. Try SoundHound's transcription service available through the Houndify platform [0] (we really don't market this well enough). It's lightning fast and it's half of what powers the Dynamic Interaction demos that we've been putting out.

I actually made a demo just like this aqua voice internally (unfortunately didn't get prioritized) but there is really no lag. However it will always be the case where the model will want to "revisit" transcribed words based on what comes next. So if you want the best accuracy you do want to wait a sec or two for the transcription to settle down a bit.

Yeah, you can debunk this trivially with cronometer.com which kinda reveals how many people repeat things without looking.

It’s like when people regurgitate that “add rice to beans for a complete protein” meme without realizing that rice is less dense in every amino acid, and beans have every amino acid in similar qualities, and you can simply eat more protein dense plant sources if you need more protein.

I eat 550g extra firm cooked tofu and 230g tempeh daily. Plug that into cronometer and show me the plant based amino acid hole.
