Normally you would analyze this sort of thing by collecting real data with ground truth labels, training a neural network with an architecture fit for what you're trying to do, evaluating its accuracy, etc.

Here you seem to just be feeding raw numbers to ChatGPT and asking it to classify? I'm not sure why you'd be under the impression that this would be accurate in any way. ChatGPT certainly wasn't trained on anything like this. I would trust a psychic reading more than what is described in this article.

Thanks for adding the mathematical definition!

You might be interested to know that the first definition of "exponential" is "of or relating to an exponent". The second definition is, as you say, "involving a variable in an exponent". https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/exponential

As this is an internet forum and not a rigorous mathematical setting, I assert that my use of "exponential" is correct in context and to claim otherwise is incorrect. :)

I wanted to do an analysis of hacker news on another topic, but over a longer timespan.

I started to look into it, but in the little time I had to devote to the idea, I read that the Agolia API lets you look over a longer period, but that it is relatively costly.

I just want to look for all story titles from the beginning of time which match one of several simple search terms, and return submission date and title for an analysis I'd conduct in R.

Think of the things you need in your day. Now think of those things without a house.

You need a place to shower. Homeless people need a place to shower. Truckers can use showers at rest stops but a homeless person has no place.

You need something to eat. Homeless people need a source of free food. Simple canned food that can be opened and eating without heating such as ravioli works fine. Fruit is fine.

You need a place to shit. Homeless people need public toilet access with reasonable
cleaning schedules, soap, and other supplies. (A great use for robots)

You need to sleep. Homeless people need a safe place to crash at night without fear. Outdoor parks that have police protection rather than harassment are needed.

You need clean clothes. Homeless people need a source of clothing. Goodwill clothing ought to be freely available. A place to wash clothing ought to be available.

You need to get selected for jury duty :-) Homeless people need a contact point. The post office should have free postal box numbers so people have an "address".

You need medical help. Homeless people need a way to get the usual medication you find
in every supermarket. Homeless people need free access to urgent care like Medexpress.

You need transportation. Homeless people need to get to work. We'll have a couple million
self-driving cars on the road next year.

You need money. Homeless people need a source of income so they can get simple needs met.

Being homeless simply means that you don't have a way to accumulate "stuff".
Life continues even if you don't have a fixed location.

Society seems to look down on people without a home. This "attitude" is the primary
source of problems. Jean Valjean (Les Miserable) was arrested for stealing bread.
Is this the kind of treatment you'd want if you needed to eat? Is it cheaper to
build a prison, hire police, judges, lawyers, and guards or just make bread free?

I think the only case for Apple exerting monopoly power is in the App Store and the iOS walled garden model. If the EU DMA was brought to the US, I don’t see a valid antitrust case against Apple for any other business they do.

You could argue separating the services components (App Store, TV+, Apple Music) from the devices business, but I don’t think there’s any validity in segmenting iPhone from anything else or any of their hardware business as a whole.

Your per-video ad revenue is probably under 1c/video, right? If so, I don't think that many consumers would bat an eye at directly paying that cent (or more), assuming a sufficiently well-designed wallet UI (clear indicator of balance, easy refund system (with anti-refund-abuse countermeasures), current spend amount per session and spend rate prominently displayed, one-click content purchase with low latency, etc.). Does that sound plausible, or am I missing something?
> worse than native advertising

Hard disagree. Sponsored segments are better in a few ways:

* They're a return to the days where ads didn't need to be targeted at people but instead were targeted at content. "If you're watching this educational video you might like Brilliant" is a heck of a lot less intrusive than "I noticed you were searching for shoes the other day, so here's a Nike ad".

* The creator has to own it. There's no hiding behind the algorithm or Google or whatever, they have to actually read off the advertisement. I find the human in the loop serves as a valuable filter on what gets advertised (at least on the channels I follow).

* The best creators actually make the ad worth watching. See Terrible Writing Advice for an example. I don't always watch the ad, but I sometimes do because it's just fun.

In general I agree that ads are bad in all their forms, but sponsor reads are one of the least offensive items in a bad genre.

The flip side of this is that progress in ML for biology is always going to be _slower_ than progress in ML for natural languages and images [1].

Humans are natural machines capable of sensing and verifying the correctness of a piece of text or an image in milliseconds. So if you have a model that generates text or images, it’s trivial to see if they’re any good. Whereas for biology, the time to validate a model’s output is measured more in weeks. If you generate a new backbone with RFDiffusion, and then generate some protein sequences with LigandMPNN, and then want to see if they fold correctly … that takes a week. Every time. Use ML to solve _that_ problem and you’ll be rich.

TFA mentions the difficulty of performing biological assays at scale, and there are numerous other challenges. Such as the number of different kinds of assays required to get the multimodal data needed to train the latest models like ESM-3 (which is multimodal, in this context meaning primary sequence, secondary structure, tertiary structure, as well as several other tracks). You can’t just scale a fluorescent product plate reader assay to get the data you need. We need sequencing tech, functional assays, protein-protein interaction assays, X-ray crystallography, and a dozen others, all at scale.

What I’d love to see companies like A-Alpha and Gordian and others do is see if they can use the ML to improve the wet lab tech. Make the assays better, faster, cheaper with ML. Like how they use ML to translate the electrical signals of DNA passing through the pore into a sequence in the Nanopore sequencers. So many companies have these sweet assays that are very good. In my opinion, if we want transformative progress in biology, we should spend less time fitting the same data with different models, and spend more time improving and scaling wet lab assays using ML. Can we use ML to make the assay better, make our processes better, to improve the amount and quality of data we generate? The thesis of TFA (and experience) suggests that using the data will be the easy part

This sounds more like a culture change than anything else. He’s not saying your terms of employment will change, he’s vaguely saying you’ll have to work harder. Obviously the court decided it was unfair, but I think this could have gone either way.

I agree this would be a good thing.
> there's no reason that a configuration language can't have first-rate tooling!

Perhaps I shouldn't have made it about the configuration language's maturity. What I mean is that however mature it is, it's still yet another thing. At least from what I've been seeing lately, fewer tools > better tools.

Suppose that on first run you generate a config file like this:

from configtypes import Strategy

def strategy() -> Strategy:
return Strategies.balanced

And then the user maybe changes it to

from datetime import datetime
from configtypes import Strategy

def strategy() -> Strategy:
# be aggressive on Tuesdays
if datetime.today().weekday() == 2:
return Strategy.aggressive
return Strategy.balanced

But actually it's `Strategy.assertive` not `Strategy.aggressive`, so this is an invalid configuration. I'm sure you can set up an editing experience for the user which gives them a red squiggly when they try to reference a nonexistent value, or which gives them an error that indicates a line number when they try to use it. But those are things you want for your dev environment anyway, right?

And maybe the user is curious: "how is this used?". There are editor actions like "go to definition" or "find references" which they can use to find more information. Those will be interrupted if the language is different.

I just feel like whatever time you might spend on integrating the configuration language is going to be better spent on docs, error messages, or making it easy to summon a well-configured editor environment (which is the same both for devs or config authors).

I've experienced what you're describing with nix. It's magical. I haven't toyed with Guix yet, but I want to eventually write helix plugins (it uses a scheme for its plugin language, or it will...), so maybe I'll give Guix a try when I get to that "learn scheme" item on my todo list.

For now I'm focused on how to help users who aren't accustomed to navigating a project with files in more than one language (scientists mostly), and I just don't think the juice is worth the squeeze re: creating more than one world, one for them and one for "proper" devs. Maybe maybe I'm overlooking the use case of large non-user-serviceable things because I wish things in general were smaller and more user-serviceable.

Related: I use a 15 Pro with no case and this thing is an absolute beast. I've dropped it on concrete many times, no shattering. The newer glass they use seems to be doing the job. (This from someone who's shattered the front and/or back glass of at least 5 prior iPhones too.)

You earn gross income with your labor, on which you pay tax. The net is used to pay Jiffy Lube, which pays employer taxes on the mechanic’s labor, and passes that cost onto you, the customer. If you do your own labor for yourself, pay neither.
I presume the GP is frustrated by Congress's inability to do anything, and at this moment considers "Just trust the executive branch to be acting in good faith" as an acceptable solution.

I suppose they probably way overestimate the odds that we won't have a brand new executive branch with wildly different priorities and definition of reality in 5 months.

If that's the way you really feel, I would expect there is more than one jurisdiction where you are entitled to a full refund by notifying the seller within a year or more of being deceived, and if the seller does not rapidly comply, you are then entitled to file a legal claim for 3X the amount, from which there is supposed to be little defense.

You would have to check with an attorney experienced at handling Deceptive Trade Practice cases.

This is not nearly as serious a violation as actual fraud, and intended to be much easier to substantiate a claim, provided all the rules and deadlines are adhered to.

You would probably want to ask for a refund as soon as you could after finding out you had been deceived, and make sure you had an impeccable paper trail.

It may not be easy to find a lawyer who would take action with only a 3X upside of what you paid, maybe that's what class-action is supposed to be for?

The modern workplace is outdated. Butt in chair != productivity. An adult who needs to take off at 3 to pick up their kids can be just as effective as someone who sits around making small talk until 6.
True. It would be interesting to run these same tests on the 7B model to see if trend information changes or not. 7B had a march cutoff so if the aug-dec dip migrated to oct-march (or just disappeared) it would be strong evidence for training/data bias. If nothing else, comparing 7B to 70B would likely be interesting.

edit I realized too late I had the years off. It is pure coincidence of month, not a real data bias. Sorry! I still think it would be interesting to see a 7B comparison but that is just to see how well a small model could spot big trends compared to a bigger one.
I don't know if it's an accurate description, but I found this passage from Wikipedia intuitive:

> Because the universe is expanding, a pair of distant objects that are now distant from each other were closer to each other at earlier times. Because the speed of light is finite, the light reaching us from this pair of objects must have left them long ago when they were nearer to one another and spanned a larger angle on the sky.
Yes. That is their job, and they've done it.

If they are not happy with how an agency is acting - they have the clear and obvious ability to amend the laws that govern that agency.

Their failure to do so is not arbitrary - it is agreement and faith in the agency they have empowered to act on their behalf.

The courts are now compelling action. Why?

If I am satisfied with how my employees are behaving, I don't chastise them or correct them over minor ambiguities - I leave them alone to continue behaving in a manner I approve of. If I am unsatisfied - I take action to correct the reason I am unsatisfied.

The courts seem to have turned this common sense on its head.
Supposedly this is the definition: "Zone 2 is defined as the highest metabolic output/work that you can sustain while keeping your lactate level below two millimole per liter.". Unless you can measure lactate level you just don't know what heart rate this corresponds to. The heuristic that's used is "able to have a conversation".

For a beginner a good tip is just to go a little bit easier than they think they should be going. Once you've built some sort of aerobic base your training should start including intervals and runs that push you harder.

There are two risks in pushing yourself too hard. Injury and over-training.
Especially frustrating because they've tuned that to try to improve battery life, rather than fixing what causes poor performance (battery life) in the first place.
