Clearly Puerto Rico do not want anything produced with oil or any petroleum products. Maybe these fossil fuel companies should give them their wish and ban their buyers from using their products to transport goods and people there and also in manufacturing of any goods sold there.

That way Puerto Rico could do their part in stopping these emissions. Surely it would not be too big sacrfice?
> You think 'Lauren Smiley' doesn't speak english and auto translated this article?

No. But I think it could be the case that the author simply talked to the parents or the subject of the article, and then simply translated what they said in that part from portugese to english. And as a tech non-literate person, she obviously didn’t think to ask them “are you talking about storage space or RAM?”
Sounds like what happens anyway with the new layers of abstractions that get added by frameworks, etc.
Heat pump systems in combination with underfloor heating are sort of common in new homes over here (not the norm, but common enough). The heatpump heats the floor in winter, cools it in summer. The heat is stored in a large water tank, and it can be transferred to potable water for showers and whatnot.

Best part is, you can supply heat to the tank in multiple ways, even concurrently. Think heat pumps, solar water heaters, or even a fireplace if you're so inclined.
Many of the responses on that tweet are people saying “the courts are corrupt, he’s obviously Satoshi!” Absolutely insane what people will believe when they’re committed to it.
Sure, a single missed day isn't bad; but have you ever skipped a month?

I'd been using Anki for Mandarin flash cards for a couple of years, and decided I wanted to memorize the "outs" (probabilities) of various hands for Texas Hold 'Em Poker. So I made a separate Anki deck and used it for a few months. Then I got busy, and stopped studying the poker deck (while maintaining the Mandarin deck). When I tried to pick it up again, it was just impossible -- I'd forgotten so much, and the card list was so long, that if I said "I forgot this", it would be scheduled for the next day, but because it was behind 100 other cards, I wouldn't actually be shown it for a week or two. The system was just completely broken.

Contrast that to the system of my own that I developed, based on the "study value" (effect of studying now on the difficulty) rather than fixed timeouts. After working on and using my own system for about 4 years, I got a bit tired of it (and I was also in the middle of redesigning the database from the ground up), and so decided to give Duolingo a go for a bit, just to see what it was like. Six months later, I came back to my own system, and it was great -- just slowly eased me back into the vocab I had before. The same is true after missing a day, or a week: it's always welcoming to get back into, rather than terrifying to get behind.
I've had this nagging worry that my voice will be harvested during a random call acting like a sales person or survey. Besides getting money from family members, I really can't think of a scenario where my voice would allow a scammer to get into one of my accounts, but I'm sure it would make social engineering such an attach that much easier.

> The point is that by preventing the model from learning a distribution that captures the extremely rare though real instances of things, you end up with a distribution that departs from whatever the reality of the situation is. You end up with a biased model, and that is highly unlikely to be a good thing.

I (think I) understand. On top, the model being able to generate for conditions able to bring forth a "materially" (in realizable fact) unlikely condition, might yield results that are interesting, -particularly- because the conditions that it would be contingent upon -are- so hard, or unlikely in actual fact. Makes sense.-
> What is the racket?

I wrote ratchet, not racket, though arguably both fit.

> No one is forcing two income families.

Except for all the other dual-income families. That's the ratchet. Or, the magic of supply and demand at play.

In a society where single-income households are dominating, the households that choose to go dual-income suddenly have 2x the income (obviously), and effectively jump a rung higher on the socioeconomic ladder. As more and more households choose this way, there's a surplus of disposable income on the market, which reduces pressures holding prices of everything down, and additionally, creates new classes of products and services[0]. As the society transitions to predominantly dual-income households, the socioeconomic ladder readjusts - suddenly the single-income households can no longer afford to live the way they used to, as prices of everything went up (both nominally and through inflation), and there's more required spending. The ratchet has turned a step, and there is no going back.

Or in a hot take form: the option for women to choose career over being a homemaker started as a choice. But, as enough women took the career option, it now became a requirement. Decades ago, a woman could find a job. Nowadays, she has to, otherwise she's going to be economically disadvantaged, whether single or with a partner.

That's the ratchet. Or a bait-and-switch the market pulled on women. It's fine for couples who don't plan to start a family; sucks for those that do.

--

[0] - In short: the market adjusts to keep average disposable income in a population at zero. More than zero means there's money left on the table, and someone will soon find a way to pick it up.

More than any of that is that a _proper_ install means you need a specific level of vacuum on the lines before refrigerant is introduced. That effects the performance of the system a lot. My friend is an HVAC nerd/wiz and has explain, in detail, the whole process for how HVAC systems function. It's really quite interesting.

One interesting thing he pointed out was that HVAC system load calculations are predicated on a max exterior temperature of something like 92 or 94 degrees (I forget the exact number). If the exterior temperature exceeds that, the system's ability to cool faster than the space heats is compromised. And if you think, oh, just oversize the system then, you'd be making a mistake as well. Over-sized systems don't run enough for proper dehumidification and most houses I've been in do not have a dedicated dehumidification loop. My friend has one in his house, but it uses dedicated vent lines and everything, so it's a sizeable investment. That's actually where things like this system start to become interesting.

I will point out that this is less of a problem than offshoring labor and/or manufacturing

- It results in more people trained in the industry here

- As a last result you can nationalize industries on your own soil

Now the second point is obviously a bit far fetched, but in the advent of a conflict with China where trade is disrupted, if your manufacturing plants and expertise are already in the country then you will face less disruption.
Even as someone who's had pretty good results on dating apps (and met my partner through one), I still agree that they're generally a pain to work with. I briefly looked at matchmaking services back then, but as you said, they were prohibitively expensive. Even if I could afford one (I couldn't, but just hypothetically), I still wouldn't sign up for one because I didn't want to limit my dating pool to other rich people.

If your sell is "quality, affordable matchmaking for everyone", that sounds like a cool thing to pursue. But how does it work? You might think your tagline is clever, but it doesn't really explain anything on its own. I think your site needs a LOT more information and polish. It doesn't look anywhere near ready.

Your competitors have been around for a decade or more and are very polished (and largely owned by the same company). In contrast, your site looks like a website test page instead of a real service, and your immediate call to action is "give us your email", something people are generally reluctant to do without a good reason. In short, it's hard to trust your site at all, much less for something as intimate and personal as dating.

Like how does it even work? What happens after you provide an email? Is there a profile that goes with it? Who looks at it? Who (or what algo) does the matching, on what criteria? How do you review potential matches and accept/decline them, and how is that different from swiping in any other app? You talk only about "three strikes" and nothing else, and even that isn't super clear (like does rejecting a date count as a strike?). And "you don't share info with anyone"... how do matches learn about each other then?

Also, a big part of any dating service is its network size. How many profiles are there in my area? How many of my religion/income/orientation/diet/whatever? Etc.

You really only talked about your tech stack here, but IMO that's the least interesting bit of it (sounds like any other standard website). If you can figure out a business behind low-cost real-human matchmaking, that would be much more interesting, but it's totally unclear from your site. I hope it's not just some GPTs analyzing profiles and suggesting matches :)
Do be mindful of the kid though. One of my wife's coworkers wanted to teach their kid multiple languages, I think the final count was 4 total (they wanted both the parent's native tongues, German which is where they were going to live after their visas expired in the US and of course English), while living in the US and it just made the kid confused and angry. Granted that's way more than just doing two but it could still back fire with the kid if it's too much.

Where can I learn more detail about the metrics you support and how they work?

I tried multiple other solutions but kept running into the problem that occasionally the framework would give me some score/evaluation of an LLM response that didn't make any sense, and there was minimal information about how it came up with the score. Often, I'd end up digging into the implementation of the framework to find the underlying evaluation prompt or classifier only to realize that the metric name is confusing or results are low confidence. I'm more cautious about using these tools now and look more deeply at how they work so that I can assess grading quality before relying on them to identify problematic outputs (e.g. hallucinations).

There are template languages that extend the HTML syntax but render to valid HTML, and I imagine this kind of guarantee of future naming scheme is important to ensure the extended syntax does not have the potential to conflict with new attributes added to the HTML specs.

> proposal in the works to allow web developers to define custom attributes

Looks like this is it:

Proposal: Custom attributes for all elements, enhancements for more complex use cases

https://github.com/WICG/webcomponents/issues/1029

Searching for "dash" does bring up a thread of discussion around whether to require dashes or not.

---

I wonder if starting the custom attribute with a dash is allowed or not. Searching around, I see colon ":" and underscore "_" are OK, but dash "-" or period "." is only allowed after the first character.

> Any namespace-less attribute that is relevant to the element's functioning, as determined by the element's author, may be specified on an autonomous custom element, so long as the attribute name is XML-compatible and contains no ASCII upper alphas.

https://html.spec.whatwg.org/multipage/custom-elements.html#...

XML-compatible attribute name:

NameStartChar ::= ":" | [A-Z] | "_" | [a-z] | [#xC0-#xD6] | [#xD8-#xF6] | [#xF8-#x2FF] | [#x370-#x37D] | [#x37F-#x1FFF] | [#x200C-#x200D] | [#x2070-#x218F] | [#x2C00-#x2FEF] | [#x3001-#xD7FF] | [#xF900-#xFDCF] | [#xFDF0-#xFFFD] | [#x10000-#xEFFFF]

I went to the most prestigious high school in France. The top 2 students in my maths class shared one thing in common: they would study the curriculum the summer before.

I did it one summer, and while I was nowhere near as good as them - something magical happened: even though I hadn't understood all the concepts, my ability to understand the concepts during the class went way up. It was easier to follow what the teacher was saying since no concept was totally new to my mind.
They need English at home too, a lot happens in those early years where there's no schooling and it'd be way better to know English well going into school (what ever level that happens to be at) too.

Great question and I see you already got a similar answer but I'll add some of my thoughts on this.
We are actively promoting OpenLLMetry as a vendor agnostic way of observing LLMs (see some examples [1], [2]). We believe that people may start with whatever vendor they work with today and may gradually shift or use something like Traceloop because of specific features we have - for example the ability to take the raw data that we output with OpenLLMetry and add another layer of "smart metrics" (like qa relevancy, faithfulness, etc.) that we calculate on our backend / pipelines; or better tooling around observability of LLM calls, agents, etc.

Most of the discussion is about what Amazon did wrong. What about the person returning a used diaper? What kind of deranged person does that? Is this some kind of exploitation of a generous return policy? I’ve seen those kinds of shoppers ruin the policy for everyone else.

Herceptin (trastuzumab) is mainly for HER-2 overexpression, whereas I have HER-2 mutation. However, we did try it last year alongside another chemo whose name I cannot remember, and IIRC that's the combo which gave me neuropathy in my feet (I now take lots of gabapentin every day so my feet don't feel like they're on fire).

Other than the clinical trial drug, which helped for a few months, the one thing that did help but eventually gave me pneumonitis so I had to stop it, was Enhertu.
I was wondering whether you had ever considered developing an alias email service instead of temporary email? Many users who use temporary email services may soon be blacklisted.

Regardless, I appreciate your efforts to help the community. I wish you good health and success.
Thanks for the detailed response! Fwiw I bet you could get some free academic labor just by offering to let a local PhD student have access to your internal data. (Obviously still not zero effort)
maybe i was conflating the two, but my point was cost of implementation. niche or not,minimizing hardware cost is important to consumers and vendors alike. On the other hand, for general purpose computing, complex instructions can provide a performance boost, as do "niche" instruction sets that may not necessarily complex as you put it. Since ARM doesn't actually make the hardware, it should let vendors select which feature sets they want to implement based on their requirements, ARM programs can then test the value of these static registers before attempting conditional execution.

There's an entire industry devoted to teaching people how to flip Amazon return pallets. The warnings not to relist returns as new on Amazon might as well be instructions to do exactly that.
Why bother - isn't the return policy enough? I'm assuming they are optimistic on new returns being new, but they are liberal on the return end to compensate.
As someone who lives here and understands the politics and nuance... eso es. ("This").

The people of Puerto Rico are fed up with the government and energy company here (LUMA) and do want change, current governor lost the primary and the candidate replacing him will likely win in November (even though it's the same party, business as usual) is partially because she's very, very anti-LUMA and appeals to the frustrations of people with the situation and is advocating change.

Unfortunately, decades of corruption have really impacted our politics and the energy and infrastructure here, and with the recent $4 million transformer issue, it doesn't surprise me that they are suing to try and get a windfall of money.
If I need to go to those lengths to protect myself from a seller, I'd just stop buying from that seller. I stopped buying from Amazon years ago because of that sentiment.

It does. Ross Anderson's Security Engineering describes how UK banks had customers prosecuted for fraud after criminals exploited bugs in chip-and-pin terminals to complete transactions without entering a PIN. The banks also successfully argued that their cryptographic transaction logs (which could definitively prove if a PIN was used) should not be admitted as evidence.

These are exciting times, and as I've been saying, this is Meteor's third life.

For those unfamiliar with Meteor, versions up to Meteor 2 used Fibers to handle async operations due to historical reasons.

It's exciting to see new AI projects choosing Meteor 3, taking advantage of Node.js 20 features.
