Why do you think things like astrology persisted for so long? If not for the Church (which banned astrological prediction as blasphemous contradicting religious belief in self determination), it'd almost certainly still be with us. In fact when founding modern psychology Jung was heavily influenced by astrology. See - astrological psychology. [1] And his earliest work was with schizophrenia, from which the invention of autism would shortly emerge as a form of 'mild schizophrenia.'

It's always the same game with pseudo sciences. It appeals to our biases or desires, which results in enough people turning off their skepticism (because they like or agree with what they hear) to let it perpetuate itself. In astrology no issue or problem was of your own nature or doing, it was merely because the stars were not aligned. That has gradually transitioned to being replaced by because you have this psychological classification, or that.

You are still the exact same weird person you were before the diagnoses, and you always will be. And that's perfectly normal, so to speak. The declining trend of real, and deep relations, in the West seems to have left many people failing to understand something. Everybody is weird. If you think somebody is "normal", that simply means you don't know them well enough. And weak autism diagnoses and treatment in modern times seems increasingly geared towards pushing people towards arguably undesirable traits (such as excessive emotiveness) while doing away with many traits and characteristics (such as singular focus, minimal susceptibility to emotionality, or obsessive attention to detail) that are highly beneficial for leading a productive and successful life.

If you control for that, is there really much to talk about?
TF-IDF for long documents is in general not very informative. TF-IDF works well for shorter documents that are largely about one topic. It will most likely not catch onto the fact that the Iliad is about the Trojan war.

(TF-IDF vectors are largely viewed as a cute trick but ultimately a bit of a dead end in classic information retrieval.)

That said, cosine similarity is definitely still useful for large vectors of things that aside from tf-idf.

The whole context of this article and post is Apple using their own chips on the server for AI tasks.

The “stopgap” is using the existing M2 Ultra for this, versus a chip specifically designed for AI server duty.

I don’t think the person you responded to is talking about on-device processing. Apple definitely wants to do as much of this on-device as they can of course, that’s just kind of tangential to this discussion on which server chips they are using.
this sounds like a good suggestion.

who knows, airfares could easily double or triple in the next few years, might as well spend some time vacationing now.
This will further contribute to the already profound difference in quality of life between the red and blue states. But because this and the other confounding issues are emotional ones, the affected populaces will not vote to change anything, and will instead choose to watch their lives deteriorate even further.

I’m not very sympathetic to their situation, but I am concerned with the effects of their growing resentment of their neighboring, less decayed states.

2. Learn about services management (probably systemd, but there are others like openRC and Runit)

3. Follow the application instructions to install

Once you’ve done a few, you’d probably want to automate provisioning, discovery, resources, and logging, the whole infrastructure orchestration thing. That’s where kubernetes comes in, but the complexity threshold for it is high.
That's fine. It's not a start-up tho
This will probably just mean that these states receive the "lesser residents" rather than no residents. And from TFA:

> The AAMC analysis notes that even in states with abortion bans, residency programs are filling their positions — mostly because there are more graduating medical students in the U.S. and abroad than there are residency slots.

But these residents don't stay put, they will also become urban and blue state doctors, so the impact of the more restricted / less holistic / non-evidence-based practice training they will receive will not be confined to red states. Care quality will decrease everywhere but moreso in places that are attracting the leftover labor.
We get that same argument from deaf people… so they stop deaf babies from getting their hearing corrected at birth and they firebomb the clinics.

You’re probably correct; I was splitting the infinitive sorta, and I’m probably using that term incorrectly also, so please do correct my usage if you know the correct terminology.

Instead of using it as “nerd sniping” as a compound word, I was using it as “nerd” “sniping”, like nerd betta fish verbally shooting at each other from their own discursive barrels.

It is interesting to see such statements popping up in the context as if something is horribly wrong with that. Google is not a charity or even some B-Corporation - it is commercial company which operates for benefits of their owners.

It is also worth to note many of those "owners" are not individuals but something like pension funds, which often have troubles to fulfil their obligations and need to maximize their returns above all.

Having said that, it is quite certain among those 12000 let go there have been some bad decisions, where Google would be much better off, over long term retaining those people and putting them to the good use.

thanks!
indeed currently we only provide the LLM with a short tldr created by Semantic Scholar for each paper. Reading the whole thing and extracting and connecting to specific findings and results will be amazing to do. Especially as it can start creating a network of logical links between statements in the vast scientific literature. txtai indeed looks extremely helpful for this.
They said it improved many symptoms.
Will it be the future of transportation? Every vehicle will be shared, you travel between far cities with trains and then count on self-driving cars to move between a place and another. Imagine how much more optimized that can be compared to now, in terms of vehicle ownership efficiency (nowadays if you own a car, it's waiting in the garage 99% of its lifetime). Imagine how everything could be furtherly improved if every one communicated its travel needs on a centralized system that suggests the trips for these autonomous vehicles, minimizing fuel/time, depending on current demand.
Like spot instances but for travelling: you specify a particular hour by which you need to be in a place and the system can give you a discount if you're alright with walking few minutes before and afterwards not to derail too much someone else's trip. Like autobus with steroids basically.

Now imagine what a nightmare it would mean to live in a society where this is the only way to move. Nobody would get a car, because that would become too expensive compared to use such a system. Whatever this centralized thing is going to be, it will own the position of every individual at any time. Any actor hacking/controlling such system would be able to manipulate the world, knowing the location of each individual 24/7. The end of privacy and freedom.

How are you relating this to the thread? Maybe you mean it takes time for capital to lower everyone’s income when market competition increases, the actual details of the excess humans matter less and less each year.

Artificial protection and gatekeeping by ordinance are there to protect those who got there first. Then we can blame others: women or immigrants etc, for wage depression. Unions do this less but still favor those who organized first.

If capital gets to hire for less, say that. Maybe the opportunity was an increase in certain pop segments, but they dont make wages go down. The people who pay wages do.

This is pedantism, and is also just wrong. "if you have the right key" IS authentication. Encryption keys are used as a form as authentication all the time, it's one of the main use cases of public/private key encryption. I challenge you to explain how OpenSSH does non-password authentication without referring to encryption.

Authentication just means proving who or what you are. Secret keys, whether they be passwords or encryption keys, are one of the primary ways to do this. Just because the key is also used for something else in addition to, or as part of, that process doesn't change it from being authentication.
> This system is not rewarding workers appropriately. That's the root cause.

Hearing people complain that Google (one of the top paying tech companies) is not appropriately rewarding workers or making claims that Shareholder activities don’t benefit workers at a company famous for paying workers heavily in shares is ironic.
> Rentec gets a lot of leverage and gets ridiculous pricing on option trades from the banking desks because of the flow they bring.

So do about 200 other funds world wide. Their leverage and sell side pricing isn't what makes them successful, as most other large funds trade as much as them and get atleast the same pricing as they do.

The hypothesis you have raised about the source of the implicit assumptions these models make is indeed an interesting and plausible one, in my opinion.

Biases in data will always exist, as this is the nature of our world. We need to think about them carefully and understand the challenges they introduce, especially when training large "foundational" models that encode a vast amount of data about the world. We should be particularly cautious when interpreting their outputs and when using them to draw any kind of scientific conclusions.

I think this is one of many reasons why we implemented the system with inherent human overseeing and strongly encourage people to provide input and feedback throughout the process.
Don't know much about it, except that Pliny the Younger wrote some eyewitness account and that Josephus mentions it briefly. I'd guess it wasn't very interesting to dwell on since pretty much everyone affected died.
You definitely need to. I was bitten by stuff like the compiler/optimizer deciding to do it differently after the unrelated change, resulting in significant performance degradation and whole service outage. There was a bug in our code that just got surfaced, of course - but it was another team's code that I didn't even know about. Debugging and fixing it was a nightmare. That was when I jumped on the SOA train (wasn't called microservices yet).

Another time an unrelated change of another team created a security issue because they improperly used a singleton class from our team's code, and our code became vulnerable because of that. That one was caught during security approval, fortunately - we'd be fucked if it went from CI straight to prod, or if they tested only the changed parts.

It's not just about CI. It's about integration testing, user acceptance testing, security approval, etc. If your system goes from CI directly to production then yeah, maybe you don't need microservices that much - but there are still benefits.
What if women are higher-value stay-at-home parents than men? Then maybe the optimal equilibrium is reached by more maternity leave taken on average by women than paternity leave taken by men… which produces an inverse result in the workplace.

They use centimeter accurate GPS for per-row logged performance data and autosteering on guidance lines. That data’s used for planning, data analysis and to keep the sprayer from trampling over planted crop later in the year.

Older systems follow lines in the field but newer ones also turn at the ends. It allows less skilled operators to do critical operations in the field.
You need to read them again. They explain that the overarching purpose of urban renewal/the ISHS was to transfer wealth from black urbanites to newly-crowned white suburbanites. The highways would not have been built if they couldn't raze poor and/or black or minority neighborhoods (it should be noted that many were thriving economically, if unconnected politically), as the contemporary NIMBY-won fights that kill public transit project after project show. Europe's situation is different for several reasons, including the pre-automobile "urban renewal" of many cities in the late 19th century (the displacement of "slum" inhabitants being now outside of living memory) that has been preserved in contemporary layouts, the complete destruction of many cities during WWII (precluding "slum" clearance), and the robust anti-freeway movements in several cities, particularly Copenhagen.

You are categorically wrong about Seattle: https://storymaps.arcgis.com/stories/5bbc63a6ef9d45f787f4bde...

>Robert Moses, the construction coordinator of New York City and an influential urban planner, believed that highways should be built in order to destroy black neighborhoods. "Our categorical imperative is action to clear the slums," he said in 1959.

>Seattle's highway planners took Moses's idea to heart. They placed the intersection and interchange of two major planned freeways, the I-90 and the RH Thomson in the center of the Judkins Park neighborhood of the Central District which was 85% black at the time.

>the urban renewal project and the placement of the freeways was a deliberate plan to destroy Black Seattle and eviscerate an area seen by white Seattleites as a ghetto.

Just deployed a Segway Navimow which uses RTK + vision for navigation.

Going from Landroid (wired, fails frequently) to Husqvarna Automower (wired, fairly reliable) to now a GPS RTK solution is quite the leap in technology.

Husqvarna does have an RTK unit but it is quite pricey ($6K). The Navimow is surprisingly inexpensive ($999 for entry level unit). The Mammotion Luba 2 is sort of in-between.

The RTK units are only becoming widely available in the last year or so.

I just so happened to set it up on solar flare day so it's hard for me to say how much that impacted it. It does seem to have a much more consistent signal today, though.

It's quite something to see it precisely drive from one end of the garden to the other, especially after years of managing wires.

I would say the RTK is quite good and accessible at this point. It does require placing the base unit in a place with both a good view of as much sky as possible, as well as being able to communicate on 900mhz to the bot. The bot itself receives GPS signals as well as the 900mhz. The tower and the bot have to see ~5+ of the same satellites at the same time. This is why it's key for the base station to have a good sky view --the bot will constantly be seeing a different subset of satellites, so you want the base station to see "all of them" if possible.

My dream outdoor bot would use a combo of RTK, lidar, vision, as well as WiFi positioning techniques.

I wonder how accurate that could get?

Maybe overkill (RTK alone seems "good enough," but there's still a gap between precision of these outdoor bots and, say, lidar-based indoor vacuum robots.

Oh yeah, the dream bot would also use photogrammetry plus all the other data to reconstruct a full detailed mesh of the outside.

Garbage collectors can be scary, but I wouldn't want to live without them! I have observed what feels like an irrational fear of GC in different programming communities. Those communities tend to invent something else that they don't call GC but is either complicated in its own way or not nearly as robust as a proper GC.

I am personally very excited about a new state-of-the-art GC with no dependencies that is easy to embed called Whippet. The project has received grant funding through NLnet to finish implementation: https://nlnet.nl/project/Whippet/

That's the question we should be asking and the pressure Egypt, Lebanon, Syria, and Jordan need to be put under by Saudi Arabia, UAE, US, France, Russia, China, etc.

I realize that's a stretch- but it shouldn't be.

Fantasy scenario: it just happens. Many Palestinian/Arabs continue to live in Israel under Israeli sovereignty because they like the job opportunities or whatever. No persecution, they live and flourish no problem (assuming they genuinely accept Israeli government). Many emigrate to Palestine in eastern Jordan because they feel a connection to the land their great grandparents grew up in, it's worth the tradeoff for them (assuming it's less prosperous than Israel which of course may be inverted, who knows)

If 80% of the energy from world hatred of Jews went to actually trying to solve the problem, we'd be in a far better place- less war, less innocents dying, less needing to censor treasonous media, etc.

To be completely honest, it boggles my mind that this _isn't_ happening. Instead we have pointless shit like Gays for Palestine blocking entrance to Disneyland. The world has lost its mind on this issue.
Is that really true? The only example I can think of is online clothes shopping... But that certainly isn't a clear cut case (remember boo.com?).

Online dating maybe?

Certainly most big successful tech startups have pretty obvious businesses; they just executed them particularly well or at the right time or with the right connections.
Not exactly, GC is a general solution. Manual management can be tailor made. But to your point more compiler enforcement is a good thing.
