In 2018 bout 67% of Saudi's exports were essentially zero-value-add extracted oil & gas. About 12% were higher-value chemicals (still mostly basic chemicals, though some amount of super-high-value advanced materials or agrichemical or specialty chemicals). Value-added chemical exports as a % of total exports increased by 2021 although the data now includes a giant block for "trade data discrepancy", so results are not directly comparable to 2018.

In 2018 "only" 43% of UAE's exports were zero-value-add extracted oil & gas. 11-12% was "Gold, Diamonds, Precious Metals"(?). The rest is pretty evenly split between very different industries - value-added chemicals, electronics, cars, metals, industrial machines, and textiles.

Overall, UAE pulls in a higher % of their foreign currency from non-oil-and-gas economic activity than Saudi does, but still leans heavily on it for 40-60% of their exports. Saudi exports ~20% more oil & gas than UAE on a nominal total USD basis. However, UAE's total exports are 30-40% higher than Saudi's on a total USD basis. So UAE sells less oil, more other stuff.

If I had to pick, I'd definitely rather be in Dubai's position than Saudi's. I've also lived in both places, and I'd definitely say that Dubai appeared to have a more diverse economy and drew from a deeper talent pool (mostly immigrant-based, though).

Test questions can be written to assess true mastery, although it's not so easy as you're trying to make it sound... especially if you want the test to take a sane amount of time, be consistently gradable by different graders, and have any kind of reasonable signal to noise ratio. But sure, you can get there, or at least go a long way toward it.

If you try to actually create tests that way, you will discover that the institutions and political atmosphere around you will punish you harshly. It's "unfair" to give a test that you can't pass by memorizing things, you see. And the people who will ultimately make the decisions about what you're allowed to do with your test are rarely going to care much about actual mastery, and often wouldn't be able to recognize mastery if they did care.

In practice, standardized tests are always going to be easily gamed, so if you make people's and institutions' rewards dependent on them, you will end up diverting more time, energy, and other resources away from actually teaching mastery and into meaningless gaming.
The title is totally misleading. It very much implies that hospitals are giving data about visitors to the hospital, which would be incredibly egregious.

Tracking website visitors is bad, but is something I 100% expect. If others aren't expecting this, that's a serious problem. People should absolutely be warned when it happens (or, better, laws should exist to prevent it from happening).

But web visitor tracking is not nearly as sensitive as tracking visitors to the hospitals (or any other health care provider premises) themselves.

I avoid the data leakage for sensitive things like health care by never using websites related to those things. I know that people often forget this, but at least in the US, using a website to interact with health care providers is not actually mandatory.

A current clamp meter will not tell you anything unless you break out the individual wires you want to measure. Having both live and neutral running through the clamp will cause the electric field of the neutral to cancel out the field of the live whenever the device draws current, so the meter will be unable to read anything.
My family both won Green Card Lottery which and then got a refugee status. I am pretty sure that double thing is quite rare. Anyhow, either of those programs provide far more support than h1-b or spousal visa, like both allow right to work right away, the refugee had some help with health and income benefits during your first year. I also have known quite a few couples with an "imported" wife, and at least one with an "imported" husband. So yeah, ranking of the programs is refugee->green card lottery->spouse->h1-b with student on the side.
I think it’s a tendency to analyze everything as a system. Incentives are basically a pros and cons list but over an aggregate of people.

I don’t find it reductionist. Incentives don’t have to be monetary. Power, status, family, morality, societal pressures, personal satisfaction, fear, all can be incentives.

Incentives are a question of what shared experience is a driving factor for a group of people.

That doesn’t remove the nuance from individuals. Just because group X lacks incentive to do Y doesn’t mean that nobody in X does Y. It’s just less useful to speak about individuals. No one cares about why my uncle Rick did whatever, but they might care why 10% of the country is doing it.
For large projects using complex compiled languages like Rust, C++, and ostensibly according to this post, Crystal, yes, they are bad.

I have worked on several projects where a full clean compile of the project takes 30+ minutes, and even incremental compiles and links to a large module will take 60-90s at absolute minimum because linker times are still shitty - and this is even with modern, powerful hardware, think 32 or 64 hyperthread Ryzen CPUs, not just your typical dev laptop.

It may not seem like much, but 60-90s is definitely enough to get you distracted and out of the zone.
My take:

* When the pendulum has swung back from NoSQL, MySQL was in a weird place due to Oracle.

* OSS project and foundation not dominated by any particular company means that startups are willing to bet on it. In turn, these startups bring more tools, extensions, and attention to Postgres.

* The open wire protocol, with multiple existing implementations, means that if your application depends on Postgres, you will have plenty of options going forward.

* The extension ecosystem is working because extensions can do almost anything (create types, indexes, functions, etc.). And now pgrx and pgzx open up to writing extensions in Rust and Zig.
Again, the library does not claim to "be an LLM" - it's not that at all, it's actually a next-token prediction library that has methods like `getTokenPrediction` etc. Though you are set up to build an LLM with this if you train enough data :) The library is not going to provide a `chat` function like GPT, not going to provide an img2img API like Stable Diffusion, that would be whatever chat-based or image-based LLM is being made with this library.

I was googling public NVIDIA SXM2 materials the other day, and it seemed SXM2/NVLink 2.0 just was a six-way system. NVIDIA SXM had updated to versions 3 and 4 since, and this isn't based on none of those anyway, but maybe there's something we don't know that make six-way reasonable.

Ask HN: Is anyone working on AI art critique?
I hear a lot of worry lately that AI is in danger of taking away a meaningful activity -- creating art -- from humans. But I'm convinced there must be a possible future where the actual impact of AI on art is similar to its impact on chess: We use AI to improve our own skills, and the activity gets more popular, not less.

One way I can imagine this happening is if AI learns to be a good critic, giving us helpful feedback on the art we create. Is anyone working on anything like this?

What is this surface skim literary analysis? I'm getting the sense that you have a Whiggist interpretation of history and reality yourself and you are not aware of it. You assume that the society depicted in a work constitutes its tone and philosophy, while the characters apply universal values to save the day. Re-calibrate a bit. The society depicted within inculcated Whiggist "dystopian" sci-fi works represents the previous, backwards, regressive kraken to be slain, while the methods the characters use to correct that society are the manifestation of the author's progressive values applied.

The maximally unequal society of Hunger Games is resolved via a violent revolution in favor of more egalitarian values. Same with Divergent. Star Trek Discovery is about a sexually and ethnically diverse crew somehow (in a future that was supposed to have solved these things) facing bigotry and solving it by simply applying or arguing for the "morally correct" values they already have. In Foundation, enlightened technocrats shorten a regressive civilizational collapse and return to "upward" progress by literally tricking the surrounding cultures into the Foundation's value judgment of the "correct" path (very VERY State Department of them). The Expanse is a TTRPG novelization and subsequent TV adaptation where a near-literal paladin (Holden) applies enlightened egalitarianism, diplomacy, and pacifism to stop an interplanetary faction war.

ALL of the specific stories you mention feature extremely strong Whiggist storytelling, and further than that, Isaac Asiimov (author of Foundation) was a famously outspoken activist for enlightened, Whiggist, progressive, technocratic ideals. Many peoples' first introduction to these ideas was Star Trek, though modern Trek handles its themes with all the subtlety of a mace.

This comment, taken as a response to the parent or just as general advice about life, is so entirely bereft of anything objectionable, and is so intrinsically reasonable that its status as 'downvoted' (assumed from the grey text color) is a blemish on HN's commentariat.

There are two options to get Blue Card. One is education, but second is professional work for I think 10 years above certain threshold salary (very low threshold for IT, even by EU means). So that 15 YOE IT engineer can certainly apply and get Blue Card. The only nuance is that it needs to be full employment, self employment doesn't count or is problematic iirc.
> One rules I feel encourages more brawling and repeated punches to the face because blood and damage draws a crowd.

One could also say the encourage to have excellent boxing, offense and defense rather then putting a premium on everything else giving the defender pads to hid behind. You actually have to be good at dynamic defense, using head movement, footwork, clinching, hand fighting, distance and so on.

Combine that with the large ring and you have a more dynamic fighting sport. I do wish they would not separate clinches so fast as that is a vital element that makes MT different and interesting. But generally they have been striking a decent balance there, it depends a lot on the ref.

A lot of traditional MT is just two guys hiding behind gloves while spamming low kicks against each other while standing in the middle of the ring.

Its just a reality of the world that in actual fights punching people in the head is effective, so by that measure One MT looks more like an actual fight rather then ceremonial combat sport.

I do agree that the gloves protect the face, but mostly because you can use them defensively, not because of the actual padding on the hands itself.

Of course, one can have preferences what is more enjoyable to watch. I think One MT is a amazing striking competition.

> They are trying to draw an MMA crowd and often even pass out KO bonuses to encourage that style.

I am not disagreeing that, that is what they are doing. Having a promotion that deals in many different fighting styles they also have to differentiate, where the retained the large gloves and MT where they have the small gloves.

Bonus for KO are a pretty logical intensive, to make sure fighters want to win, rather then run out the clock when they are ahead in points. Also it makes it hard to do lots of illegal things regarding buying or influencing the refs. Something that we know was common in lots of combat sports for the last couple 1000 years and in MT too. Of course that has a lot of issues too.
Calculating the Likelihood of Programs
You don't even have to lock them, do you?

For safety reasons, passengers need to be seated and buckled in during takeoff. So you can just verify everyone is seated, then after that check that the lavatories are empty. If a lavatory is occupied, make that person take their seat.

Now you've verified there are enough seats for everyone.
You are factually wrong. The homicide rate is still declining as of 2023. Also worth it to note that the military dictatorship was responsible for the explosion in urban crime and violence in the 70s and 80s, which persists to this day.

The feeling of shame is mutual and I'll add disgust. I decided to leave Brazil after Bolsonaro was elected and I heard gunshots and death calls from neighbors, savages like yourself.

The things that made the world shocked and disgusted about Bolsonaro - the promotion of violence, the ties with the milícias (mafia), the contempt with human life and dignity, the hate of the natural environment - foreigners did not understand that those were exactly the things his supporters, like you probably are, loved about him.

Bolsonaro routinely said things like "we should have murdered 30,000 people (during the dictatorship)". Those statements don't lose votes, they gain votes from an appalling, bloodthirsty, evil minority like the commentor above.

Hey all, I am a computer engineering student at the University of Massachusetts-- Amherst. I currently hold a 3.98 cumm. GPA, and have a plethora of experience under my belt. Past projects include developing an React.js ROI calculator for potential clients at a top discount-verification company, where I developed the application from the ground-up. I built a linear-regression model to predict the cost of homes in a given location using Python. I built a reddit-like forum application that is university-specific using React.js, Flask, Postgres, and AWS S3.

I am seeking internships for this summer. I am willing and able to learn and adapt to any potential opportunities.

Feel free to reach out. I look forward to hearing from you!
Seems like an Elon Musk influencer puke but I liked the headlines of some of the videos. Unfortunately they're so incredibly boring I couldn't stand to watch another second. Thanks for sharing!
Maybe RO becoming part of the standard set of things you buy (washing machine, vacuum cleaner etc.) is the way.

It just seems really sad that society is moving away from "let's fix it for everyone" toward just giving up and saying "the only solution is everyone for themselves." Like, surely it would be much more efficient and cost-effective to improve water filtration at the municipal level rather than expecting everyone to buy and maintain their own individual filtration systems....

Cause innocent people are sometimes wrongly convicted, and sentenced to death. Life behind bars without the possibility of parole achieves pretty much the same effect for public safety, while still giving the wrongly accused a chance to live. There are also rare cases in which new evidence overturns their conviction decades into their sentence. If they're put to death, they never get that chance.
This winter was really mild. I was curious if we'd spend more or less, and honestly i wasn't super concerned. My napkin math suggested it would be comparable, but come with the benefit of reducing the risk we'd run out of gas. The propane truck cant make it up our road from late November early April, and last year we got down to around 20% remaining (which is around the point where the tank stops working due to there not being enough pressure).

Huge bonus that its been cheaper, and substantially...but I just love relaxing about the reduced risk of the house running out of fuel.

It may be that the manner in which you are teaching that topic is itself failing. Your students don’t understand, investigate how to improve your approach in explaining which results in them understanding. Decompose the steps to see where that understanding is not happening.
TSMC controls 60% of global semiconductor production, not "90%+." If your argument is: "well, they control the advanced nodes!!" - if Taiwan is attacked, the things you're using these advanced chips for will no longer be relevant.

Missiles and radar powered by Intel/Altera chips will do the job just fine until more domestic fab capacity can be spun up. Most defense products are running on processes from two decades or more ago and are already legally forced to consider adversarial supply chain issues.
“ For reference, our team at RunLLM has spent roughly 70% of our engineering cycles in the last quarter on data engineering — everything from pre-processing data at ingestion time to implementing hybrid search to reranking results.”

This to me is why I am actually bullish on building ‘LLM wrappers’ that are sustainable businesses. While you might not be developing new technology, you can be adding value to a client who can use chat gpt and “talk to your docs” but not the surrounding work to make it frictionless for their workflow or company and actually build a business. It’s entirely possible that AI will get so good that it makes it easy to all the surrounding tasks too.

> Providing working fakes for every dependency isn't always realistic.

I don't know what a fake is. Is that what mockery gives you? Per the dictionary, fake is defined similar to mock, but without the no deception condition, so I suppose that adds up.

There are also stubs, which is defined as something that is truncated or a part of. Which, as it pertains to software, is an implementation that implements some kind of bare minimum to satisfy the interface – often returning canned responses, for example. Mockery arguably also fits here, except the assertion part, which is something else. But I guess that's where fake comes in to draw that differentiation?

> But if you those are params to some external RPC suddenly this actually becomes pretty useful.

Sure, a stub might check the inputs and return an error if some condition is not met, without needing to implement the service in full. This remains true to what the real service would also do.

But that's not what mockery does. It just blows up spectacularly if something wasn't right. That doesn't really make any sense. That is now how the real implementation works. Not only that, but in the case of mockery, its documentation advises that you put the dependency logic in the test. How silly is that? Now when you replace Stripe with Line all your tests are broken. If you used a stub, you merely change the stub to match and you're good to go. This way the tests remain pure, as they need to as they are the contract you make with your users. Changing the contract is unacceptable.

And for all that, it doesn't seem to serve any purpose. But we did ask the other guy for a concrete example (i.e. code) to show where one would want to use it. Looking forward to it.
You can either wire a relay yourself, your smart plug just switches the relay, and you can size the relay according to your needs.

Or use smart switches made for geysers. Something like the sonoff pow3 can handle up to 5.5kW. Since it is just a relay inside I am pretty sure it can handle inductive loads fine.
