No reason it could not be expanded later to motivate other projects.

Thanks. I will fix that.
Strongly agree that it's not simple. I just like to take the contrarian view here, with everyone in this thread dunking on ads.

It's a very complicated trade off, and I'm not sure humanity understands it well enough to act optimally. But the ad based model sure as hell isn't all bad, like people in this thread make it out to be.

Why do you assume that it's a "foreign" actor? I think it is utterly idiotic to hold an event of such scale in a country which has seen several consecutive years of mass protests. I mean sure, you can cordon off parts of Paris with fences and razor wire, but you can't do that with all of France.
I mean, aren’t you just describing formal language syntax? Seems like a fundamentally similar situation —- the computer can automatically flag any syntax errors in a millisecond by checking it against the generating grammar for that language. Thats what makes a formal language in the first place, I think!

I do think this language is considerably more robust than the typical programming language, which means a sound program is more likely to end up being valid/“correct”. But still, that’s a difference of degree, not kind, IMO

The first post in this thread mentions the bombing, not the apology.

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=41073744

The second post made the argument that it’s not about the bombing but about the apology. This was a change of topic by tivert.

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=41073828

My response to that was that it’s actually reasonable for people to be mad about the bombing. This was the original topic in this thread.

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=41073953

Then you showed up and accused me of moving the goalposts for not agreeing with an opinion you share even though that was not the original topic.

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=41074059

Seeing as I never changed my opinion or wording on this topic, there does in fact seem to be someone rewriting history in real time to justify their opinion going on in this conversation. Unless of course you view “disagreeing with you at every point” as “moving the goalposts”

Edit: Also it does seem that you do contend that Chinese people are only mad about the propaganda as you responded “Correct” to this:

>I'd only get mad at the latter, and I wouldn't be so mad about the harm itself, but rather the disrespect of not apologizing.

Totally agree. It also hard to do diagrams in a lot of document management systems so you end up with this crazy mix of Word docs and Visio diagrams. In the 90s they tried to fix this with OpenDoc and OLE but somehow that got out of fashion.

Fun! Some feedback:

I filled every square, but had errors. I received the "keep trying" alert. The alert was accurate, but it was annoying that as long as the puzzle was complete (every square filled) AND incorrect, I had to dismiss the alert every time to keep going. So if I just changed one square, and the puzzle continued to be filled but wrong, the alert showed up again. Perhaps using an inline error message rather than a modal would be less friction.

Also: when completed the puzzle correctly, I was told "Congratulations! You have completed the puzzle correctly in Om Os!" — which was much shorter than my actual time. :)
How would you defend against an accusation that you seem to prefer the historically accurate version of events that allows for the most white characters?
Hi author here,

I must say I made the basic git clone on Marcan's repository (named like this) without changing the default name.

Then I just put my additions next to and into it.

This did not look bad to me. Otherwise I would have done it differently.

I made the two ls commands to show all files and avoid any confusion.

My guess is that people nowadays are gradually moving away from raw CUDA programming and moving towards things like Triton etc, and you won't be focusing on pure GEMM since you tend to do some fusion.

Ugh. Which will reduce their value to middle and working class families who could otherwise use strong educational values to help their kids rise, since getting a pile of 5s despite going to a mediocre public school will be less impressive. Just like deemphasizing SATs.
You're comparing legal to illegal. That's kinda moving the goal posts a bit.

By definition illegal things are things society as a whole have declared impermissible. By contrast cigarettes and advertising are legal, meaning that society has determined them to have value.

Not surprisingly illegal things still happen because there is still demand by some minority for that service. Society as s whole though has decided that the negative effect on others outweighs the positive effect on the few.

> Farrowing nests are rooted-out areas typically round to oval in shape (Figure 8). Nests range in size from 3 to 8 feet long, 2 to 7 feet wide, and 2 to 7 inches deep. Sows excavate these shallow depressions for giving birth to their young. Sows line the nests using readily-available material in close proximity, or some nests are unlined. Nests found in colder or open habitats are more elaborate than those found in warmer or forested habitats. Elaborate nests can have dome-like covers made of vegetation piled to 4-feet high.

I admittedly don't tour a lot of homes, but I'm pretty sure insulating between the attic space and the living space is close to universal in my area. Maybe if you live in Southern California or Hawaii and your home doesn't have A/C you could get away without it. Especially if you have a whole house fan that vents into the attic. But even then it is so cheap to blow in insulation that it seems foolish to not do it.

The author previously did a great blog post breaking down the overall costs of building new homes:

https://www.construction-physics.com/p/what-makes-housing-so...

tl;dr: For new developments, land is only about 20% of the total sale price of the home, and this share has been dropping since 2005.

However, he also notes an important selection bias to this stat: new homes do not get constructed in areas where land is expensive, unless it's a custom build for a specific wealthy buyer, because developers cannot make a profit building SFHs if they spend a majority of the purchase price just buying the land. He notes that in wealthy areas like eg. Silicon Valley, 80% of the purchase price is land value, but developers are not building homes there, which is part of why the purchase price is so high.

And sure enough, if you go out to Mountain House or Discovery Bay, prices are like 25% of what they are in Silicon Valley. But then you have to commute from Mountain House. America's housing problem is as much a commuting or job distribution problem as housing, but those problems are even harder to fix than housing.
Again, it's more complicated than that. What does "you are the product" actually mean, really? How does it tangibly affect people's lives?

I'm sure the tradeoff is worth it for some people, and not worth it for others. It's just not simple, and I don't know what the split looks like.
The access isn't unfettered, it's very fettered. You need to purchase internet service, which only adults can do. The problem is those adults, which purchase it, do absolutely nothing to restrict access for their kids.

It's like buying alcohol, and then keeping it in water bottles in your fridge and complaining your kid keeps getting drunk. At that point the problem isn't the laws or society, it's you!

Hah, so we were a very small ~40 person company.

We didn't have a dedicated IT department, we had a customer support person who doubled as IT. When he failed, we had a very knowledgeable guy who ran our servers remotely from Alaska.

When something went wrong with our computers, it was almost always down to us to fix them.

I don’t think mathematical ability has much to do with it.

I think it’s useful to break down the anti-Bayesians into statisticians and non-statistician scientists.

The former are mathematically savvy enough to understand bayes but object on philosophical grounds; the later don’t care about the philosophy so much as they feel like an attack on frequentism is an attack on their previous research and they take it personally
I think this idea has promise but I wonder how it would work when many of the visualizations I create to help explain logic wouldn't fit neatly into a DSL/schema. For example, I might use red in some places to refer to data from a particular client, or underlines to indicate constants, or arrows to indicate things that are related from a business perspective but not data or logic flow. I guess this could be standardized, but that almost defeats the purpose of having the computer do the heavy lifting.

In other words, not only does understanding these diagrams assume a ton of knowledge in the problem domain, but the crude tools at hand for creating them (lines, words, symbols, shapes, colors) can be repurposed in so many ways by different people and different projects that I don't see how generic motion detection will be able to detect high level changes. Sure, detecting changed nodes and descriptions might be easy, and possibly useful, but I think there will never be a substitute for human comments like "removed XYZ because the boss said so" or "renamed foo to bar because of IRS regulation so-and-so."
I see, so academics are frequentists (attackers) or objective Bayes (naive), and the people Doing Science are pragmatic (correct).

The article gave me the same vibe, nice, short set of labels for me to apply as a heuristic.

“Favorite fun fact from researching A City on Mars was how ASTP in 1975 had to have androgynous docking so nobody was the girl spaceship”

From Apollo-Soyuz Wikipedia entry: “American and Soviet engineers settled their differences for a possible docking of American and Soviet spacecraft in meetings between June and December 1971 in Houston and Moscow, including Bill Creasy's design of the Androgynous Peripheral Attach System (APAS) between the two ships that would allow either to be active or passive during docking”

Could there ever be an instance not motivated by politics where a black actor portrayed a white character? Not everything everyone does is virtue signaling or politically motivated, but we have somehow arrived at a place culturally where the perception is that a huge fraction of the population is making decisions disingenuously. It's such a coarse and dismissive heuristic.
Sure. There were 20 items in the bucket with the same hash, we wanted to add one more.

So we grow the top level hash table and we put all of the twenty items in the same new bucket, because they have the same hash, and then we... oh, we don't have enough room. Try again? (The code presented does). Too bad, that can't help.

In your understanding, why does this not happen? That's the question. How do this code ensure this can't happen? If it doesn't, if it's just hoping to get lucky the code must not be used.

Thank you for this post. I never really grokked carbon credits and trading them until reading this. You explained it in a very understandable way!

My first (probably naive) reaction is: Doesn't this set up a poor incentive? Why should the "dirty" manufacturers change their ways if they can just buy their way out of trouble and not seriously invest in EVs? Who sets the price on these credits? If they're cheap enough, the gas car manufacturers can just buy them forever?

I used to ask how to find the 10th percentile value from an arbitrarily ordered list as an interview question. Most candidates suggested sorting, and then I'd ask if they could do better. If they got stuck, I'd ask them which sorting algorithm they'd suggest. If they suggested quicksort, then I could gently guide them down optimizing quicksort to quickselect. Most candidates made the mistake of believing getting rid of half the work at every division results in half the work overall. They realized it was significantly faster, but usually didn't realize it was O(N) expected time.

If we had time, I'd ask about the worst-case scenario, and see if they could optimize heapsort to heapselect. Good candidates could suggest starting out with selectsort optimistically and switching to heapselect if the number of recursions exceeded some constant times the number of expected recursions.

If they knew about median-of-medians, they could probably just suggest introselect at the start, and move on to another question.

Cars/trucks/roads are so much more dangerous than train travel that it actually seems worth the tradeoff to me even if these sorts of attacks were a regular occurrence.

Because our intelligence agencies do fail (the Trump assassination attempt is the most recent). We can choose to construct epicyclic explanations for this or we can update our priors broadly.
