This is too shallow. Yes, it's possible that this can go wrong. Doesn't mean it will. If they're showing you on video how easy or hard it is to repair something, that doesn't leave a lot of room for the sort of thing you're hinting at.

Thank you for your answer, you have a valid point in both things not necessarily being mutually exclusive. I am just scared of what happens if no precautions are taken before we proceed with extending our life expectancy.

I don't know if I can fairly argue with your second point, I seem to lack the emotional capacity to appreciate those things as much as you do. I however appreciate that you take the time to present your viewpoint, I'll have to reconsider some of my initial thoughts regarding this
Apollo 1 was built by North American Aviation, which was acquired by Rockwell, which is now part of Boeing.
The world dislikes older people. I think it's mostly because they can't match pay. They want people to glue node modules together with AI, not make C++ drivers. Someone with 2 years of experience writing glue code and willing to be paid as an intermediate would take priority.

There's probably new stuff where that might be useful. Drones maybe. Also these humanoid bots are being well funded, there's probably some work there.

Due to global politics, things are also shifting away from both China and the US and new factories are popping up in all kinds of semi-neutral countries. I expect these places might also be the kind you'd work on. There's a chip boom going on in SE Asia with Chinese companies using places like Malaysia as a proxy to sell to US. It may fit your semiconductor experience.
And not a single screenshot was provided.
I believe it’s likely due to usability issues on increasingly common small laptop screens. On a 12/13” screen for example hierarchal sidebars become a truncated mess after only 1-2 levels of nesting unless the sidebar is expanded and eating up valuable main content space.

Personally even 1-level vertical tabs are valuable because labels don’t get truncated or hidden nearly as badly as they do with traditional tabs, plus vertical scrolling is more natural and effortless than horizontal is. Additionally, most screens these days have tons of width while height is at a premium, and vertical tabs takes advantage of that.
Probably even a machine or carriage house (his parent's farm wouldn't have has mews) instead of what we would think of as a garage.

You probably know this, but Firefox has its own version of profiles, although its a bit hidden.

> It would not only be wrong, it would also be as culturally imperialistic to do to everyone else as forcing North and South America to be 'America'.

That logic is kind of backwards.

To probably almost all of South America and a good portion of North America, their continent has been named "America" since before the U.S. was born. There isn't any forcing, since that's already how it is and always has been.

If anything, from that perspective, it's the taking of the term "American" by one country to the exclusion of others and then denying the existence of the single continent from which their own name is derived what can seem "culturally imperialistic".

> Only out of ignorance of where they landed, and what it was. As we learned more this evolved, at least it did in the Anglosphere. No one was ever ignorant of the fact that Europe and Asia were one. That's a very different historical origin as to why each is divided and referred to as they are today.

My point was that you care about geological definitions of continents only with regards to America. With Europe and Asia, you're willing to accept their being defined as separate continents because of historical reasons.

If I look up geological continents right now[1], Eurasia is a single continent and Australia and Zealandia are separate. Yet, the U.S. doesn't recognize the continents of the world like that. That's picking and choosing where you care about geology. It's kind of hypocritical.

In the end, continents, at least in everyday speech, is determined a good bit more from history rather than geological features, because people identify themselves from them, and historically America has always been a single continent, at least for likely most of its inhabitants.

It's entirely possible that the majority of election officials care more about election integrity than cheating. Even if 80% of the election managers were "in on the grift" it wouldn't stop the other 20% from calling them out. And it certainly wouldn't protect them once they submit their ballots to the state for analysis.

You should volunteer locally as an election manager and see how it works firsthand.
Japan issues first-ever alert over risk of Nankai Trough megaquake
I have almost exactly the inverse situation. We are at the end of a cul de sac that is capable of efficiently draining water away and out of the neighborhood. But in roughly the spot where your drainage creek is, there's a large strip mall parking lot (across the street from our backyard). We don't get a lot of rain in annual total, but when it does rain heavily a flash flood comes into our backyard and must cross our side/front yard to drain into the cul de sac.

The previous homeowner put in a DIY french drain, but either he didn't do it right, or it's too flat, or it's too small, or it is clogged. We instead get surface water flow and erosion along the same path where the french drain runs.

(It doesn't help that when our neighbors got sand delivered for an above ground pool bed, the delivery truck dumped the entire pile of sand ON TOP OF the river rock exit basin for our french drain. The sand was later removed/used but I was still upset; unfortunately it was my brother in law who ordered the sand. Since the drain is above it I don't think it went in the drain, but maybe this rock basin was supposed to be a dry well.)

I am thinking of building something like your concrete berm along my back fence line, possibly modifying the french drain to just transfer the water from the far side of the berm to the exit over the cul de sac rather than trying to absorb it from the ground.

If we made sure Einstein's mind never lost its youthfulness, why would we need a next generation? Imagine the outcomes if any of the well-known, world-renowned geniuses got basically infinite time to pursue any projects of their choosing. To think of new ideas, build atop what they've already discovered. Hell, think of everyone else - one could study or research for decades, with professionals in their fields joining forces with anyone who studied enough to join with them. Needing a constant flow of new generations for new innovations seems like a self-imposed limitation, not an actual necessity.
I've been reading a book called "Plunder"[0] which covers private equity's impact on several sectors including eldercare, medical, housing, finance, and retail.

It lays out how the PE firms' MO is to destroy companies while extracting every ounce of value from them leaving a husk that quickly falls apart. There are several different strategies used by PE firms such as selling off property and renting them back to the companies they own, forcing companies to take on debt to pay the PE firms, and strategically breaking the law because the PE firms are not liable for the broken laws. It also covers how PE firms buy up all companies in a particular region and sector so that competition is not possible and consumers have no choice but to use the PE owned providers.

It shows that the impacts PE has on hospitals such as those in this study are not side effects but are the known and intended goals of PE firms as they extract the value from the company.

These firms need to be regulated out of existence but unfortunately the book also covers how many high profile government movers and shakers are tied up with private equity. For instance former secretary of the treasury Geithner now runs a PE firm and former president Trump is good friends with a PE exec (CEO of Blackstone).

Thanks. I noticed there is a little incongruency with the GoRails videos, although I only just starting looking. I've taught myself a bunch of things with PBL, so I'm a believer.

The rails.org guide is looking like a good start.

Found your comment on the topic from two years ago, funny enough.
Finally a good summary.

I also picked up on the potential to at least payout Boeing if starliner comes down in good order (which seemed likely). I think that solves Boeings issue and would make them relax on forcing crew.

The problem here is they have a seemingly somewhat safer option going up and down regularly. That is making taking risk MUCH much harder because the downside risk (2 crew trapped in space potentially for a long and slow death) is pretty disastrous especially if a safer option was sitting right there and it turns out the decision to send them down was contract driven.

Given the history of thruster issues that go way back (and keep on repeating despite "fixes") I feel like they'll collect about as much data sending starliner back uncrewed, and then they'll need to be doing fixes for things like the helium issues etc that are compounding the risks. Be great if they could do ONE uncrewed flight more trouble free before putting astro's back on, but their solution is a more expensive with longer lead times than crew dragon (the entire service module is dumped on every launch I think, the rocket is also totally dumped etc)
> I bet, however, it's not uniformly distributed and some lines are late more than others

Sure. But "with a nearly perfect on-time performance of 99.3% on Hudson, Harlem, and New Haven Lines," there isn't much room to hide problems. (LIRR is 96.3%.)

The point is we have systems that have been well built and well maintained. They just don't get coverage because they just work. (The LIRR is far from perfect, mind you. But it's apparently outperforming the DB. You have to get to some of the worst routes during peak conditions to get in the neighbourhood of DB's systemic numbers.)
> Look for using Bus like Flixbus as an alternative if possible. They are not perfect but more reliable than the DB train for sure.

I wouldn't recommend that, at least not for longer rides. Apart from the fact that I don't trust their overworked drivers (there was a big accident this year that may have been caused by a conflict between the drivers, according to some witness reports), its cheapness also tends to attract rather unsavoury individuals. I have all sorts of horror stories, from the guy (probably on some drugs) who started shouting multiple times in the middle of the night, to some dude who fell asleep with his orange juice bottle still open, which then spilled all over me, to the guy who thought it was a good idea to take drugs across the Swiss border (which caused a massive delay as, of course, his baggage was then extensively searched), etc. I've met weird people on trains too, but Flixbus is a whole other level.

As JumpCrisscross asked the definition of on-time is important. Most Euro countries define "on time" as "within 5 minutes" with something like 90%+ of their train being on time.

SBB CFF FFS has similar numbers, except it defines "on time" as "within 3 minutes"[1] which is of course harder to achieve.

I'm not sure, aren't the most powerful typically bullies? The UK had probably the strongest Navy in the world for a long while and used it to colonize and extract wealth from a large part of the world. There's a controversial calculation that they took about $45 trillion from south asian alone, but even if it was only a fraction of that it's certainly an example of the powerful bullying the "weak".

History is littered with these examples. We're seeing it happen in Israel/Palestine as we speak. It's not like the US spent all our money on the military and became a chill, benevolent international partner.
Congrats to the XetHub team!
I agree RLHF is not full RL, more like contextual bandits, because there is always just one single decision and no credit assignment difficulties. But there is one great thing about RLHF compared to supervised training: it updates the model on the whole sequence instead of only the next token. This is fundamentally different from pre-training, where the model learns to be myopic and doesn't learn to address the "big picture".

So there are 3 levels of optimization in discussion here:

1. for the next token (NTP)

2. for a single turn response (RLHF)

3. for actual task completion or long-term objectives (RL)

I guess that's easier when you only care about one platform, and everything that comes with it.

Their wiki also has a very simple and effective userChrome.css tweak to hide the top tab bar when the side panel is open. That's a rather crucial vertical space savings on a small laptop.
The length of the buffer for entire column in O(n * k). If you want to gather a subset of the strings in that buffer, you essentially need to scan across the buffer and copy out the subset you want. Because that buffer grows with string size k, it's linear wrt k. The new implementation doesn't have this problem - you only need to deal with views which are constant size.
