I was thinking the same thing earlier about teachers.

A teacher might be the greatest gift to children, or they could be below average. A school district has no way of knowing. Standardized testing can bring some level of comparison, but to isolate the teacher's contribution would involve testing students every year and tracking their test scores across all teachers they've had. A challenge most school districts don't want to volunteer for.

It's definitely better than what NVIDIA does, inventing an entirely new ISA each year. If the hardware isn't paying the cost for a frontend, then it shovels the burden onto software. There's a reason every AI app has to bundle a 500mb matrix multiplication library in each download, and it's because GPUs force you to compile your code ten times for the last ten years of ISAs.
It partitions the string into an implicit tree and uses that structure to reduce the string, if I understand correctly. The partitioning is obtained from the stack's structure during generation.
EMRa are largely a solution to a political problem, not a technical one. While they do a bunch of things, most of it is barebones record keeping.

> Seattle-based researcher Ro Singh was hooked on ordering in several times a week until the city adopted its pay measure in January. App prices “became absolutely nuts,” he said, after adding varying delivery fees in addition to tipping. He started picking up the food himself.

“It’s like double the price to order a $20 burrito now” compared with the pickup price, he said. “This is insane.”

I use the apps to order but almost always pick up myself. The cost difference is so extreme, and we've had issues with a significant portion of the orders that were delivered. I'm sure some people will continue to order with these higher prices, but I wouldn't be surprised if most people decided that $40 burritos are not worth it.

>It’s not clear why someone would be a tied to Waymo if another equally-available self-driving taxi were available that were substantially less expensive, even if it were marginally less safe.

Do not underestimate quality of the experience/product on the whole. Whenever I take an Uber/Lyft/Taxi, I find myself in the uncomfortable position of having to deal with a stranger in a small space for a period a little longer than an elevator ride (if you know what I mean)... and that driver in turn has to figure out how to interact with me (or not). We're social animals and we feel compelled to do something or to expect something even if that interaction doesn't come. In a Waymo this forced social situation doesn't exist: and I for one find it superior enough to pay the small premium... which in my experience is on par with what I'd have to tip (another fun thing to have to deal with in the Uber/Lyft/Taxi scenario).

Also, I've mentioned this recently elsewhere. Uber/Lyft/Taxis don't always show up, drivers cancel trips and that can happen several times in a row. Waymo hasn't done that to me yet. So the certainty and dependable expectation setting of Waymo vs. Uber/Lyft/Taxis make a compelling case for premium pricing. And again, in my experience, the pricing of Waymo hasn't been so much more than the alternatives to justify calling those alternatives "substantially less expensive". Once the tipping is figured into the equation they're roughly on par.

Would I consider other self-driving entrants over Waymo? Sure if they can match the quality of service and are price competitive. But the comparison with traditional driver based services needs to account to the higher overall product quality and not just the pricing model or even safety margins (so long as they are within some reasonable baseline).
> making a fusion plant isn't a stepping stone to making a nuclear bomb

In theory a fusion plant can use the neutrons to irradiate the right chemical element to produce Plutonium-239 or Uranium-233.

It has been estimated that each 14.1 MeV fusion neutron could be used to produce up to 0.64 plutonium or 233U atoms [4] assuming a TBR of 1.06. This corresponds to 2.85 kg plutonium per MW-year of DT fusion power production, assuming that all of the neutrons are captured in the blanket.

I want to love this, as someone who has dealt with multiple EMRs as an engineer, and as a provider...

but no EMR is going to gain traction with documentation that has five bullet points for its backup discussion.

Even the linked "back up using our tools" is just "tar things up and run mysqldump".

There's no discussion of how to handle and maintain this on a system that may be available 24/7. It's possible to do these things, certainly, but no credence or weight is paid to the real world concerns of how often you should be backing up, state management, intelligent restoration. It's as much about the business continuity aspect as it is the technical.

> Blackstone has switched attention to much less mature niches such as logistics, student housing and life-sciences sites. It says a collapse in construction work in these areas will restrict future supply, pushing up values of the assets it has been buying.

A collapse in construction work? Is there an issue with finding construction workers or is it something else?

USC has a lot of student housing with more being built. I've worked with a couple of the developers in the area and finding crew is the least of their problems. But this is L.A. and it's a bit different, so I genuinely wonder what they mean by construction collapse.

How does a computer decide what's "extreme", "propaganda", "racist"? These are terms taken for granted in common conversation, but when subject to scrutiny, it becomes obvious they lack objective non-circular definitions. Rather, they are terms predicated on after-the-fact rationalizations that a computer has no way of knowing or distinguishing without, ironically, purposefully inserted biases (and often poorly done at that). You can't build a "convincing" or "charismatic" AI because persuasion and charm are qualities that human beings (supposedly) comprehend and respond to, not machines. AI "Charisma" is just a model built on positive reinforcement.

I might be misunderstanding your use case, but are you trying to interpolate movement between frames (ie: are you trying to reconstruct a dynamic 4D scene or is the capture fully static?)

If you are trying to capture dynamics, most of the Nerfstudio methods are geared towards static captures and will give poor results for scenes with movement. There are many dynamic NeRF works out there
- for example https://dynamic3dgaussians.github.io/ and https://github.com/andrewsonga/Total-Recon both provide code if you want to play around. With that being said, robust 4D reconstruction is still very much an open research problem (especially when limited to monocular RGB data / casual phone captures). I'd expect a lot of movement in the space in the months/years to come!
A lot of systems are “good enough” and run flawlessly for years/decades so unless you have a good business case you won’t be able to move from x86 to ARM or the new RISC open stuff because the original system cost a couple million dollars.
Monkey patching isn't the norm anymore and not really a valid complaint in this decade.

BMW's CO2 Emissions Scoreboard Backfires, Drivers Compete to Pollute More
A master class in enterprise software sales fit into a single comment. Bravo!
I worked at "The Only Sony Only" store in St. Louis when this TV came out. I delivered and installed equipment among other responsibilities. I might have delivered two of these particular units. I believe it was actually like 305 pounds.

This television had a couple of interesting traits. Sony flat Trinitrons were apparently the only true flat CRT televisions where both the outside AND inside of the tube were flat. This is why they were so heavy - the flat glass had to be thicker to withstand the vacuum inside.

It was a high definition television, but it was 4:3 aspect ratio. They sold a 34 inch CRT that was the only 16:9 CRT they offered at the time.

Additionally, the size of the 40 inch tube apparently left it extra vulnerable to stray magnetic fields. CRT screens all respond to magnets by producing rainbow colored distortions, but the 40 inch was extra sensitive. We delivered one to a house and turned it on only to find that the screen colors were distorted. I'm not sure how we figured it out, but we realized it was the proximity to the metal floor beam, so we moved the TV to another spot in the room and the color distortion went away.

For context, you could get an HD 65 inch rear projection wide screen television at the time that only weighed 265 pounds. I delivered both the 40 inch and the 65 inch up a flight of stairs. Those moving straps that hang from your forearms were not yet popular.

One of the more interesting ones is ESO's ESOsuite, for pre-hospital providers.

It has to deal with rough and spotty connectivity even during record creation, it has to handle sync between different providers (FD arrives first, starts gathering information, EMS arrives after to transport. How do you reconcile field values? It's one thing to coalesce provider interventions, but what about demographic discrepancies? "Just give the provider a choice between options" you think - not the biggest priority when approaching the hospital and stabilizing your patient, and not when you need to contact the hospital and give them said demographics and CC/HX/VS before you arrive).

Wikipedia has it as "an item of unreliable information that is repeated so often that it becomes accepted as fact." after the original USofAmerica coinage by Norman Mailer.

In Commonwealth countries (Australia, Canada, UK) two decades past we used it on intelligence forums as the name for atomic snippets of information released by companies via stock exchanges, company reports, PR .. each nugget being an atomic fact like paragraph linked back to a source that asserted that fact to be true, but to be taken as potentially incorrect.

> I sometimes wonder why we don't see ruby used for shell stuff more often.

The reason we don't see Ruby used more for shell stuff is because Python won this particular war. It's already installed on basically every Linux distribution out there, and this simple fact outweighs all other language considerations for probably >95% of people who are writing shell scripts in something that isn't Bash.

Personally, I don't much like Python, and even though Ruby is not my favorite language either, I find it much better than Python for this kind of work. But I don't get to decide how Debian builds their infrastructure, so in the end, I tend to use Python.

This pretty much happens in Australia. Almost every telco had been fined by the ACCC for some version of this. They keep trying it though, every couple of years. Just like the airlines and ticket companies keep trying drip pricing, and keep getting caught and warned or fined. The incentives are just too much to stop them.

> These are terms taken for granted in common conversation, but when subject to scrutiny, it becomes obvious they lack objective non-circular definitions

This is false. A simple dictionary check shows that the definitions are in fact not circular.
I understand your reasoning, but it is not very logical. It depends on what you mean by "imagine a triangle". A triangle doesn't have to be filled with a color to be a triangle. Why would you imagine it with any color in it in the first place, not just a wireframe, being transparent inside? So if your triangle doesn't have a color, it might be because you are more accurate in your imagination, not because you have no triangle imagination.

So without a proper way of defining things like "imagine" or "mental picture" first, tests like yours or like VVIQ are not well-defined. Now, maybe I don't understand the meaning of VVIQ because I have aphantasia. Or maybe I don't understand the meaning of VVIQ because I am a logician and mathematician, and I am very peculiar about "meaning". Maybe even both. Without a doubt though, VVIQ is not an objective test, because its elements are not properly defined.

My New App for Parents to Buy and Sell Gently Used Baby and Kids' Gear
Hello there - I’m built and launched a new app called Growr - it's a marketplace for baby & kids stuff.

As a parent myself, I’ve experienced firsthand how quickly our little ones outgrow their clothes, toys, and gear. It’s tough on the wallet and contributes to unnecessary waste. That’s why I created Growr, a marketplace specifically designed for buying and selling gently used baby and kids' items. My goal is to make parenting more affordable and sustainable for everyone.

The way it works is simple - as a seller, you list your baby's or kid's item and wait for the buyer to contact you. As a buyer, you look for what you want and start chatting with the seller. It's all local based, which will help with community building as well.

We're working on building various functionalities such as rating system, payments, and options to deliver so that we can support the communities better.

You can find the link here: iPhone: https://apps.apple.com/be/app/growr/id6465306158 Android: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.modoo.mothings

So you plagiarized for your paper? I mean, people seem to be in agreement that studios using visual AI generated art that draws from existing works is plagiarism, so how did you not commit academic fraud? Did you consider that encountering challenges with expressing yourself and overcoming them is the pedagogical purpose for papers like that?

I am assuming your paper was for a class, given your comparison to calculators in a classroom. If not, then my point does not apply.

>Our teachers at the time justified "no calculator" policies by saying "You won't have a calculator in your pocket when you're going through life!". And, well, that turned out to be very wrong.

The only time we weren't allowed to use calculators was for things like arithmetic and fraction manipulation. It would indeed be absurd to have to consult a calculator for every numerical step you have to take in math work for subsequent years, so I think your teachers were right.
In the old days that would be classic VAR opportunity. Independents solving local problems. And, while license fees always affect the value proposition of a solution, there’s typically a lot of consulting and implementation labor dominates those contracts.

Today, though, the electronic medical record is a much more regulated with all the government standards. Part of the whole consolidation of smaller practices is just keeping up with the EMR requirements and other systemic parts of the modern health care system.

But where there are great opportunities for things like OpenEMR is internationally in developing countries. There’s a great need for fundamental EMR services and information exchange that open source solutions can be a really good fit.

> I think the problem is largely determining “dustiness” of a given space, and cleaning it appropriately.

Not needed. Like a robo-vac running frequently: they don't pick up _every_ single grain of dust perfectly during one given run. You just run them often enough they keep the floor "undusty enough". Or trimming beard / head at x mm every y days, not every hair is a perfect x mm at all times but the repetition / constancy makes it close enough.

Intuitively, probably the latter?.. But engineers working on such a thing would probably be best off prototyping and validating in both directions and with endless parameterizations =)

There was gamma correction and other perceptually uniform-ish color spaces before 1996 and before sRGB. I was taught about the CIE set of color spaces xyY/XYZ/LAB/LUV in school and used them to write renderers before I’d ever heard of sRGB. And yes exactly right, before they know better, a lot of people will grab something non-linear and starting doing linear math on it accidentally. It’s still one of the most common color mistakes to this day, I think, but it was definitely more common before sRGB. People sometimes forget basic alpha-blend compositing needs linearized colors, so it’s a common cause of fringe artifacts. Things have gotten much better though, and quickly. A lot of game studios 20 years ago didn’t have much in the way of color management, and it’s ubiquitous now.

> The issue you really run into is that, even at idle, the generator burns a fixed amount of propane. The minimum is about 2 gallons per hour. Which is roughly $6

All the loads that I might consider a generator for are intermittent (well pump, fridge, microwave, space heater).

I've wondered if it would make sense to get inverters for the fridge, microwave, and heater and get a pool of batteries, and just use the generator for charging batteries and powering the well pump.

With a sufficient number of batteries in the battery pool it should be possible to only need to run the generator when there are sufficient batteries to charge that the generator can run at its most efficient output.
