I think it means that, given a normal flat 2D video, you get back that video but as a 3D scene, meaning you can move and pan the camera around as the 3d video plays.
And I guess they call it 4D since you had a flat 2d video + time dimension, so 3d video + time dimension = 4 dimensions.

> Eighty-two percent of the women in Inhorn’s sample were single, “with no partner in sight” (p. 19). In their own words, they were using egg freezing to “buy time” and hold onto their dream of heterosexual marriage with biologically related children. These women were a notably high achieving group: one-third of her sample had attended an Ivy League institution and nearly 80% had advanced degrees.

It seems like the central question is: why do they lack a partner? Some possible explanations could be:

1- They are too picky

2- They are undesirable to potential partners

3- They are unwilling or unable to mingle with potential partners

The author of the article seems to blame men for not being interested in these high-performing women (i.e. reason #2 above), while Inhorn seems to suggest some balance between #1 and #2.

While I don't belong to the cohort under discussion, I used to be very focused on my career and would not have been able to find a partner had I not met my wife in college.

In other words, I don't think reason #3 should be dismissed without further data, although personally I suspect reason #1 is also much more common than #2.

My memory of Warsaw was a very interesting traffic deadlock around a block with two roundabouts in the city centre.

There were simply too many cars around that block so they effectively locked each other up. That was ten years ago though so maybe they fixed it.

To the GP, an electric mountain bike (eMTB) enduro race is probably not what you are envisioning.

Mountain bike (MTB) enduro is stage racing. Specifically, timed downhill-only sections separated by untimed transfers between stages. The name comes from motorcycle enduro racing. Riders do not go head-to-head like in road cycling, cyclocross or motocross. eMTB enduro is exactly the same format but using electric-motor assisted bikes and, IIRC, one timed uphill stage thrown in.

MTB/eMTB enduro is great fun as a participant sport but either not-there-yet or not-suitable as a spectator sport.

Considering how things are built in Ireland that's a great thing for the world, trust me.
In America most everyone can afford a car and most families have many and the roads are generally excellent. People have large homes single family and prefer less density and the country is more than large enough to support this. Most people don't want to live in cramped quarters, on top of each other, and having to take mass transit. Not everyone wants a NYC lifestyle. I can't understand why a small minority of people are so intent on convincing people that living in stacked boxes with a walls separation to whoever, with communal spaces for outdoor space, and mass transit, is a better life.

I think globally nearly everyone would prefer to have a single family home with a private yard and with automobiles for getting around in most cases. I'd agree train access into the big city for a day out is nice. But most "big cities" aren't big enough or dense enough to require them.

I think the argument is that it's much easier to show impact when you go with the flow and launch a product or complete an acquisition no matter how shitty. It's a lot harder to get promoted for saying that you need to delay launch by 6 months because of some metrics or details even if that would eventually prove to be the right decision.

> (illegal withholding of possibly exculpatory evidence)

I hear about this sort of thing way too often. I say we make a new law that if prosecutors pull shit like this they get sentenced to triple the jail time/financial penalty the defendant would have had, if convicted, and pay triple the legal expenses to defendant as well. This multiplier is often used in the law as deterrent where a 1x multiplier is not deemed sufficient for the total damage and inconvenience caused.

Seriously, how can anyone be expected to trust the legal system when the state pulls shit like that without any consequences?

If course, this will likely mean prosecutors will start destroying exculpatory evidence when possible.
For China, you'd expect that to skew the data in the other direction, though. Since China has over 4x the population of the US, the number of metro lines is apparently over 4x higher (since China has more metro lines per capita than the US, according to the chart).

What's boggling about it?

Cycling is a really good example because it is so stark: 1) If you win you make more money, probably a lot more money. I don't know the current numbers, but during the Armstrong years there were plenty of Tour de France level riders that worked wrenching bikes to make ends meet and lived with their parents in the off season. You had Lance on private jets, and then guys on the team making under $30k supporting him. 2) Genetics is huge, you can do everything possible and simply not be good enough, if you've dedicated a big chunk of your life to this dream, you've won at every level, you live a completely monastic lifestyle and constantly diet and you reach your limit the desire to get just a little bit better is strong. The drugs work. 3) If enough people believe that "everyone is doing it" then the psychology of cheating disappears. 4) There is no external pressure or risk; the teams and sponsors don't get burned. When Lance won on a Trek they went from being something like a $200m company to a $2.5B company. They may very well have played a part in it, perhaps unbeknownst to them, but they never had any jeopardy.

They're talking about what is physiologically possible after this year's Tour, it was a complete ass kicking. If your competition is doing things that are believed impossible, do you hang it up? accept defeat? Or rationalize that a few watts isn't really cheating since he's doing something impossible?

China has a decreasing population and is just building a ridiculous amount of everything. It is however now running into the opposite problem – entire cities and transit systems are sitting empty.

One thing I'm finding myself not liking about Google Maps is its routing algorithm. It defaults to something I'm not positive on, perhaps shortest possible route or time? But in doing so often has me taking 5 or 10 turns through neighborhoods and poorly lit streets that don't seem designed for through traffic.

When I look at the map, I usually see a way easier way to go, that's usually about the same or maybe a minute or so longer. I wish it defaulted to that. I'd much rather have an easy, two turn 15 minute drive than a zig zag through neighborhood 14 minute drive.

I used this approach extensively over the past couple of months with GPT-4 and GPT-4o while building https://hotseatai.com. Two things that helped me:

1. Prompt with examples. I included an example image with an example transcription as part of the prompt. This made GPT make fewer mistakes and improved output accuracy.

2. Confidence score. I extracted the embedded text from the PDF and compared the frequency of character triples in the source text and GPT’s output. If there was a significant difference (less than 90% overlap) I would log a warning. This helped detect cases when GPT omitted entire paragraphs of text.

From the article:

"The problem with the server certificate is that someone needs to sign it. Usually you would want that certificate to be signed by someone who is trusted globally like DigiCert. But that means you need to send an external request; and the provider at some point (usually in minutes but sometimes it can be hours) signs your certificate and returns it back to you. This time lag is unfortunately not acceptable for users. So most of the time you would sign the certificate yourself. This means you need to create a certificate authority (CA) and share it with the users so they can validate the certificate chain. Ideally, you would also create a different CA for each database."

Couldn't you automate this with Let's Encrypt instead?

Yeah, I am somewhat baffled that the city I live in (Ostrava), a rust-belt city which lost 15 % of its population since 1990 (and a nontrivial share of that loss were high earners who moved to adjacent suburbia, taking their tax money with them), somehow has much cleaner, nicer and safer public transport than the richest metropolitan areas of the US, with their massive GDP advantage.

The passengers may be a bit uncouth (the upper half of the society tends to drive here instead of riding public transport), but the system is still unflinchingly reliable and comfortable.

"asset tracker" is a good keyword to search for. Unless you need very particular detection, there might be ofc the shelf solutions that can work. "This thing is in motion" is often a supported feature. Months of battery life is achievable, with the right hardware. For cellular, the most modern standard is NB-IoT. CAT LTE M1 also pretty good.
Note: GPS tracker is also a good searchword, as it is a common feature on (outdoor) asset trackers, even though it might not be the most critical in your intended application.
I'd say that a very large portion of games, that come to market, are almost 100% copies of other games. The whole industry is copying ideas from everyone else. So, yes, an ai is perfect for the job. You need to launch faster than ever, you need to iterate faster than ever, and a machine, that can produce games 24/7 is the wet dream of every game studio.
Of course the games will be shit, but the most successful ones already are, just look at the charts in the (mobile) app stores.

> but worth pointing out the advantage that (even a lot of) skill gives is nowhere close to 100x over weaker players.

Not op, but I think you’re right… it’s probably 1000x or infinity depending on how you look at it.

The ev of the median player in a typical tournament is negative, while the pro is positive. As a measure of skill, that metric can’t really be expressed as a multiple.

As for skill level, I think a prob being 100x a rec is probably about right — most people have no idea how much better pros are than they are.

That said, poker sustains interest from recs precisely because the format leans more towards the luck side of the luck-skill continuum than complete information games like chess or go.

So a rec can play head up against a top pro like Phil Ivey and can still win, but that victory would be a function of luck rather than skill. Iterate that spot 100x or 1000x, and the rec doesn’t win very often.
It's affirming to hear of businesses with a similar disposition. I expect many will be rightly skeptical of an upstart vendor, but this just means establishing the brand for a few years will have its own dividends.

I am not sure I follow this.

1. Is there such a thing as 'attention grabbing AI content' ? Most AI content I see is the opposite of 'attention grabbing'. Kindle store is flooded with this garbage and none of it is particularly 'attention grabbing'.

2. Why would creation of such content, even if it was truly attention grabbing, benefit meta in particular ?

3. How would poliferation of AI content lead to more ad spend in the economy. Ad budgets won't increase because of AI content?

To me this is typical Zuckerberg play. Attach metas name to whatever is trendy at the moment like ( now forgotten) metaverse, cryptocoins and bunch of other failed stuff that was trendy for a second. Meta is NOT an Gen AI company ( or a metaverse company, or a cypto company) like he is scamming ( more like colluding) the market to believe. A mere distraction from slowing user growth on ALL of meta apps.
