How so? As you acknowledged, number go up internally doesn't mean number doesn't go down relative to other currency, leaving relative expensiveness the same.
Great project, congrats, super cool.
I think the movie is definitely set up with the premise that humanity is a stabled fixed point of reference, with Deckard representing that viewpoint. But once you had Deckard falling in love with Rachel, and then the ending with Deckard and Batty, I think the movie is asking viewers to question this initial premise.

Within the context of a big budget Hollywood sci-fi actioner, I think it's about as reasonably deep as you could expect. None of its ideas are profound or new, but the cinematography and set design were.
Yep, hopefully soon this cooler will come with water recycling capabilities including from perspiration.

Interestingly, this thermal device come with the environment temperature sensor or thermometer something that a USD2K worth smartphone do not include built-in.

Just wondering does it also utilize heat pump technology for its cooling and heating function?

Athena is great.
It’s essentially querying your data using lambdas on your S3 data.

DuckDB outperforms it slightly on a single node but Athena is a good choice if you need elastic scaling.
When I was little, zebras were described to me as black and white stripped horses. Without even seeing one, I'm sure anything who has seen a horse could then merge those two concepts to create a close to accurate picture of what a zebra is.

If AI is supposed to resemble a human mind with ability to learn, then it must be able to learn from a blanker slate. You don't teach the human before it is born, and in this comparison an AI is born when you finish it's model and set its weights using the training set. If you test it with the training set, you aren't testing ability to comprehend, just regurgitate what it was born with

You don't think creatives aren't going to get upset watching all the tools they've been using for all their lives and have a love and appreciation for, tools humanity has been using for quite some time to produce beautiful works of art and have a beautiful aesthetic of their own, being destroyed by an industrial press to only be replaced by a mass-produced iPad isn't a form of higher meaning? If so, then don't go into advertising! They're literally depicted the crushing of the human spirit, to be replaced by a machine. That's the higher meaning here.

>I can agree with this. But, to the point that others have made, I do wonder what this and the availability of beta videos for many, many routes and blocs does to climbing skill overall.

That's a fair concern. That said, there are certain sequences that I'm physically incapable of doing without a dedicated multi-month program of stretching beforehand. Turns out falling on a thumbs-down jam is close enough to a shoulder dislocation that I maybe should've done some PT about it. The extreme is, obviously, the Edlinger vs. American example, but I think the middle ground actually addresses people's peculiar body geometry and/or range of motion. Alex Honnold's exact hip or elbow position might not be as meaningful for Ashima, even if they're on the exact same route.

Such nuances have made a difference in some cases (the one that springs to mind is Todd Skinner's observation that Steve Petro's hips sagged just a little mid-crux on Fiddler on the Roof, which, until corrected, had prevented Petro from nabbing the first ascent of one of the hardest cracks ever climbed to that point). Probably a net-bad for folks projecting Midnight Lightning or similar, but definitely useful for somebody looking to repeat Silence or whatever.
Situation is more interesting than the headline suggests:

> ...the president of ValveTech, a NASA contractor that supplies the agency with parts, warned that the buzzing sound heard during the now-scrubbed Starliner launch could indicate something seriously wrong ...

> ...as valve experts, we strongly urge them not to attempt a second launch due to the risk of a disaster occurring on the launchpad," ValveTech president Erin Faville cautioned. "According to media reports, a buzzing sound indicating the leaking valve was noticed ... minutes before launch. This sound could indicate that the valve has passed its lifecycle."

> As the company's press release notes, the launch scrub also occurred after a November 2023 ruling in which a federal court found that Boeing had used a valve from another aerospace company, Aerojet Rocketdyne, that copied ValveTech's designs. The part was not, according to a witness in that trial, equipped for the job it was meant to do ...

> ValveTech continues to question how NASA, Boeing and Aerojet could have qualified this valve for the mission without proper supporting data or previous history or legacy information
Designer babies are fine with me. If I could make a handsome, strong as an ape, genius, healthy baby, I'd do it! I'd do the same for me.

If there's a moral sticking point, for me it would be about the cost and privilege it assumes. We still have a very long ways to go before that is figured out...but if we have genius level babies, maybe they can do it for us.

Of course, to refer to a specific variable of the CAS in Python, you need to bind it to a Python variable. There is no way around this.

In the end most of the time of the user is not spent on syntax, but on designing algorithms. With Mathematica, you are locked into the Mathematica ecosystem. With Symbolica / sympy and other CASs that are libraries, you can use all the familiar data structures of the language you are coding in.
It only makes sense for Deckard to be a replicant — something that Roy would know, and choose not to tell.

Maybe I should have recognized this earlier, but I really like this point and feel it adds depth- whether or not the screenwriters or Ridley Scott even intended it. It's not necessary for this to be the case for Batty to spare Deckard, it's also possible that recognizing his end was near he wanted to pass something on and/or communicate his life in some way to another.

Update on CoinFabrik's Lawsuit Against Borderless Capital Among Others

They don't. Maybe if you're really good you notice the higher overhead but you expect to be spending time writing to the network. The actual impact shows up when the bandwidth consumption is way up on packet and TCP headers which won't show on a flamegraph that easily.

That's exactly where I am. Pattern matched sum types "feel great" to code in to an expert because they are a concise and reasonably tight way to express the otherwise boring "enumerate over possibilities" code.

But they're hard to read for anyone who isn't an expert on not just the language but the type in question (c.f. Rust's Option() idioms all looks like line noise to newbies, etc...). And that's a bad trade.

In essence, this stuff is just Perl all over again. It's a language feature that prioritizes concision over comprehension. And I say that as someone who really likes coding in perl. But "people" don't like perl, and the community moved on, and the reasons are... the same reason that uptake in ADTs is lagging where the experts want it to be.
Structural pharmacology and therapeutic potential of 5-methoxytryptamines
Eight pixels ber byte would indeed be more efficient, but the intent of this library was to make the hidden message as discreet as possible, rather than transmit as much hidden data as possible.
By modifying only occasional pixels, in an unpredictable pattern (based on a secure hash of the key), my hope was that it would make detection more difficult. Whether I succeeded or not remains to be determined, I suppose.
Two thoughts:

First: Are glass makers/window breakers actually an externality? I guess the broken glass (not cleaned up by anybody, so the price is foist on society) could be considered an externality, but that isn’t typically the point of that story.

Aside: Or maybe, since breaking windows is usually a crime, having people break windows as a job might incline them toward other crimes. And further, if the field of window breaking is lucrative and these window-breakers become admired as a result, it could maybe cause a general increased tendency toward criminality in society! This could be seen as an externality, bringing in the other story about broken windows. Maybe we’re close to discovering the grand unified theory of broken windows!

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Broken_windows_theory .

Second: Poorly made umbrellas seem quite different from glass makers/breakers. There’s a price:quality trade off with umbrellas, it just isn’t where you (and I, actually, I prefer a good solid umbrella too) want it to be. The glass maker/breaker story is about the silliness of intentionally destroying something the folks who made it can make money replacing it.

Anyway, I think the umbrella employees aren’t an externality, they are just part of the cost of doing business.

Its budget was comparable to Return of The Jedi, released the year after. Both around $30 million. It wasn't a high grossing movie, it made its budget back and a bit more but did not become a box office hit.
These are the same Teslas they want to get rid of, because they are too expensive? Hmm, they found a way to adjust the price, I guess.

Look, I love Baudrillard as much as anyone, and we can talk about simulacra all day, but it's simply not germane. We're not talking about whether these restrictions are societal constructs but rather whether they are predictable, reasonable, and controllable.

The tax deadline is predictable. A two-month restriction from holidays is relatively reasonable. The deadline is not realistically controllable. (Your employer cannot eliminate tax filing.)

Yes, and? You cannot just point to an argument, say it’s NIMBY and call it a day. You have to actually argue against it. Slapping a derogatory label on it and dismissing it is not enough.
Here are some things that I think about often from that book.

* Problems are inevitable, but problems are soluble

* All evils are the result of insufficient knowledge

* Knowledge being the result of trial and error, and there being no such thing as certain knowledge.

* The idea of 'wealth' being the set of all physical transformations you can bring about.

* The thing that distinguishes people from non-general intelligences is the ability to create an endless stream of explanatory knowledge; that is, to have unbounded creativity.

* People are universal explainers; anything that can be understood, we can understand

* If something is permitted by the laws of physics, then the only thing that can prevent it from being technologically possible is not knowing how

* How commitment to knowledge growth entails a commitment to particular moral values (tolerance, openness to being wrong, valuing the truth); objective morality

I love how the ideas support each other and have such tremendous reach (morality, politics, epistemolgy, computing). And it is written very cleanly and lucidly, which perhaps makes it easy to read quickly and miss how dense and deep the ideas actually are.
> weed benefits have been pushed a bit too much too widely lately

Totally agree. The entire legalization political momentum started because cannabis has real medical benefits. Early legalization efforts focused on cancer, and AIDS, because the benefits there are very real. Marinol is a synthetic cannabis drug.

Then some how the movement lost the plot and people started purporting benefits for things like ADHD, insomnia, and anxiety. I am confident the large majority of medical professionals would claim there are better drugs for those conditions. Then legalization was sold as a better alternative to alcohol and opiates (which it is). But some how the low addiction rate got sold as no addiction. There are scores of people who are probably making their anxiety worse with daily cannabis use, who are under the impression they are self-medicating their anxiety. When they quit they might go through withdrawals, despite believing it's not addictive. I think the science is fairly clear and maybe not settled in certain places, but I think the pendulum has swung from the misinformation of DARE to the misinformation of the Cannabis lobby.
Going further: Even summaries can be dangerous, as the inclusion/exclusion of facts can itself be part of a watermark.
They can call it anything they want, but the moment they leave their "culture" and try to police our language they have to justify it on facts and not just assert that they feel a certain way. It's completely irrelevant to medicine if they have a culture or identity based around their disability.
I am using GMP indeed, through the Rust crate `rug`.
I'm actually in this position a bit. I'm still young(ish) with a serious hip condition that causes me some disability. There are options for replacement that could get me to near full function, but there are drawbacks and the shear fear of surgery and replacing part of my body with metal and plastic. If I was wheelchair-bound, I don't think it would be a hard choice, but I am able to essentially do most of the things I need to do at least as I am. And so I put it off and put it off.
"I'm feeling sad thinking about ending it all"

"You should Snap into a Slim Jim!"
I think there is an easy line. We know what should occur with certain parts of the body. Ears should be able to hear so when they don't we know there is a problem.

There isn't a height in order to function properly or something like that. If somebody is 5 feet or 6 feet they are still capable of having their whole body function. Yes, they may have issues due to their height but their body still works correctly. (Extreme heights, both tall and short, may cause issues and there could be conversations around that, but within the normal range there isn't any sort of function of the body that doesn't work)
I think there's always been a tension at Apple between keeping everything as locked down as possible and opening up parts because they need the developer driven app ecosystem. My prediction is Neural Engine is going to become more useful to third party developers. I could be wrong
From: Is building intelligent machines a good idea?

> If one accepts that the impact of truly intelligent machines is likely to be
profound, and that there is at least a small probability of this happening in
the foreseeable future, it is only prudent to try to prepare for this in advance.
If we wait until it seems very likely that intelligent machines will soon appear,
it will be too late to thoroughly discuss and contemplate the issues involved.

So, are we too late?
18-month-olds don't usually have opinions on what does or doesn't count as a 'cure': that's a bit too abstract for most of them. Their parents can.
I think the free will debate is not about this. Its more about the question if the mind is part of a deterministic universe, thus being deterministic itself.
I dont believe this myself. The universe is quasi deterministic. I would say it's emergent. So there are constantly "random" things that are building on top of the n-1 condition. This random things can be an electron that moves left instead of right. Or it allows a person to make a slight nudge into a direction. Be it consciously or unconsciously. That is my theory. It fits my experience of the world and it doesnt violate any natural laws to my knowledge.

>>> What makes hunting any more natural than agriculture?

Thus "hunting" is not "more natural" than agriculture and domestication of other species.

I don’t disagree with the article. There’s almost no content to disagree with. The journalist picked bad experts and provided nothing but character assassination persiflage under the appeal to authority fallacy. This is a top-level publication, so it’s not unreasonable to suggest commonality with the profession.

Why say this? Because I’ve learned that the mendacity of paid experts and journalists goes unchecked when ordinary people say nothing, and quite often the crowd opinion of people with nothing to gain is more trustworthy.

The cognitive intent bridge between the user and brands that is possible with this technology will blow Google out of the water IMO.
companies in top or even middle tier don't do this. saying you work for a faang+ is an important part of compensation even if benefits and salary are the same (they aren't).
Another angle here is: it is going to be very valuable to some companies to ensure that their datasets go into the LLM training process. For example, if you are AWS, you really want to make sure that the next version of GPT has all of the AWS documentation in the training corpus, because that ensures GPT can answer questions about how to work with AWS tools. I expect OpenAI and others will start to charge for this kind of guarantees.
I fail to see why this is controversial because digital expression in the arts has been mainstream and widely accepted for multiple decades now.

A lot of it isn't the fault of Amtrak -- freight companies are legally required to pull off and let Amtrak through, unless the train size exceeds the length of the pull off

As a result, the freight companies just make the typical train longer than any pull off on the route, and they no longer have to yield to passenger rail. The downside is passenger rail becomes fantastically late because they always are the ones to pull off
