These applications should take a hint from the language translation industry:

MTPE, "Machine Translation Post Editing", is what has become the norm.

AI generates your first draft. Humans post-edit the output as a final draft.

I imagine most AI use cases will still have a human in the loop for quality assurance. (The goal of AI doesn't need to be 100% accurate as long as the first draft is able to be post-edited and reviewed by a human who ultimately takes responsibility for the output - assuming post-editing/QA takes less time than writing the first draft yourself)
They can't even seems to think a day ahead. Last Friday I got removed from the project I was consulting for, effective in three weeks. On today's daily, the PO who got my head asked me progress about my current ticket and told me "to do my best" during my remaining time on the project.

A second later he was the embodiment of the surprised pikachu face meme when I told him that it won't be happening. Of course he went crying to my boss an hour later.

Even in a country where you can get a sick leave for burn out for weeks, paid 100% of your salary, by speaking 5 minutes to a doctor, the management is treating employees like slaves. This is a really fascinating mindset.
I got good at them growing up because I had a family. When someone was going a project they called the family and a dozen people showed up. We were never good, but we all knew enough to get the job done and teach each other a little more - after a few years we had a reasonable grasp of nearly everything because we had done it.

I miss living near them. I no longer have a network I can call for help on projects and so the things I can get done are very limited.
At least. (that may be enough to not let split my personality into myself, not considered,
and pieces of 'me' not mine (*) used, not in my context and out of my reason: holding me responsible for whatever I can't control, at mercy of 'random factors' - if I knew, I would sue)
It was optimized for profit, highest prices, lowest possible cost. The very lowest possible cost.

Wingnuts are strong, and you can pry them on, and off with a screw driver.

I made a portable shack with carriage bolts and wing nuts. When it came time to break down the wood has all swelled with moisture... so the screwdriver loosed them all.
I would say that mine is just plain better for solo movie watching than any display I've ever had. If the hardware was less cumbersome, I'd give serious thought to never buying a bigger TV again and maybe actively downsizing the one I have.

On a similar note, it's almost but not quite good enough to replace the displays of my working/gaming desk setup, and a version 2 or 3 with a slightly denser display - if it was actually comfortable enough to wear sitting up for more than an hour or two - would be a serious contender to replace several high-end monitors plus my audio setup.

To sum it all up, I think the 'killer app' here is the one that's so simple it seems kind of self-referential - having a display on your face instead of in the world. The UX and the display quality are already 75-100% of the way to filling that role. The basic problem is that the hardware is just too heavy and uncomfortable, so the value prop vanishes because you can't actually use it comfortably for 8-16 hours a day.

I think you're describing the evaluation map T(v, w) = w(v), which has type (1,1), rather than the inner product, which has type (2,0). The inner product lets you "raise and lower indices" (i.e. convert between vectors and dual vectors), so you can basically pretend that it is the evaluation map.
> e.g. IIRC his answer to "How do I set up tmux with kitty?" was something like "Don't, tmux is dumb" and closing it. Eventually I gave up.

Heh, I switched from Kitty to Wezterm due to the exact same types of comments from the maintainer. It's his project of course, and he's a great programmer, but some humility wouldn't hurt.
The Hancock family is indeed known for their diverse, and some say extreme positions on signing things.
OK, so it seems likely that while the UK metro police chief can say this, and even try to extradict some folks, it's unlikely the US is going to hand somebody over for shitposting that might be illegal in the UK.
> It was just lazy speculation that felt good because it could be bound up in a "evil white countries exploiting the developing world" narrative. Where exploiting was "paying to do a job".

Exploitation like that is in fact happening (see pretty much everything having to do with social media content moderation and RLHF to avoid disturbing content.

Also "paying to do a job" is not the moral panacea you seem to think it is.
This is a misunderstanding of astrology. Astrological signs are not the same as constellations, even though they are named the same as or similar than twelve of the thirteen constellations which cross the ecliptic.

Astrological signs are measurement of ecliptic longitude, each one thirty degrees, starting with Aries. There are two intersection points between ecliptic and equator, so one of them will be called zero; specifically, it is the spring equinox in the north hemisphere. You will then usually specify the degrees past the sign, e.g. "0 Aries" is 0 degrees, and "3 Cancer" is 93 degrees.

"Tropic of Cancer" and "Tropic of Capricorn" are not having to do with constellations; they have to do with the astrological signs of those names. When the ecliptic longitude of the Sun is at 0 Cancer then the Sun is over the Tropic of Cancer.

(This assumes you are using the "tropical zodiac" which is based on the equinox of date. If you are using a "sidereal zodiac" with a specific ayanamsha (the word "ayanamsha" is a Sanskrit word denoting the amount of precession of equinoxes) then it is instead relative to a specific angle at a specific date.)

So, their signs are not wrong, although you still cannot predict facts about people's lives and other stuff like most astrologers try to do, by the use of the astrological signs, and using the correct ones is no better than using the wrong ones. There are good arguments that can be made against astrology, but "the signs are all wrong" is not a valid one.

Astrology does get the positions of objects correct as astronomy does, although to understand them you would have to understand the conventions in use, which are different than the conventions commonly used in modern astronomy.

The dates commonly given for Sun signs in newspapers are approximately correct but are not exact. The exact dates (and times of day; not only the date) varies by year, and this is related to the reason why we have leap years.

I don’t know what to tell you, but an Apple Vision Pro isn’t going to help you.

Right now, the individual pixels are about the size of a human blood cell(!), and yet, the panels for each eye are not quite 4K.

Not quite 4K, for your entire FOV. As iFixit notes, for a virtual desktop inside that FOV, forget about it looking anything like a good 4K monitor. The Vision Pro can have 3,386 PPI and it’s still no monitor substitute.

Because they want a nationwide bandwidth block that they can hoard. They don't need 15Mhz for PNT.

This is so they can offer nationwide machine to machine long distance communication. Commercial meshtastic. They spectrum would be entirely theirs across the whole country, and could be used for any purpose. The extra anticompetitive move is that it would kick out and constraint free users of this bandwidth at the same time offering paid services in the same band. Corporate enshitification of the commons.
How about making it harder to subscribe with email address that you do not own? Some silly sausage is using my email address while shopping and I am receiving their clothing receipts. I am still convinced, that clicking "unsubscribe" only provides information that email address is used and that leads to even more spam from even more unusual places. E.g. fake dating websites, where new one is created almost each month just to be replaced by another. And they keep sending a lot of spam.
You are right about infinite dimensions, wrong about finite dimensions. V and V* are naturally isomorphic for finite dimensions.

In finite dimensions, V and V* are isomorphic, but not naturally so. The isomorphism requires additional information. You can specify a basis to get the isomorphism, but many bases will give the same isomorphism. The exact amount of information that you need is a metric. If you have a metric, then every orthonormal basis in that metric will give the same isomorphism.
Great question. I’m wondering the same. According to Wikipedia:

> in Europe it operates at the 868-869 MHz band while in North America the band varies from 908-916 MHz when Z-Wave is operating as a mesh network and 912-920 MHz when Z-Wave is operating with a star topology in Z-Wave LR mode.

So there definitely would be overlap in North America.
Is there a way to restrain what they can use this spectrum for, or is it doomed to be resold to someone else, basically depriving the public of spectrum?
With sponsorships I think people are just annoyed by them being repetitive. There are maybe ten companies that seem to sponsor every YouTube channel and podcast, and there's only so many times you can get pitched the same wallet or VPN before you develop the instinct to skip ahead.

With ADHD, time blindness, and object permanence, I have been thinking about a sort of design that would put specific things in eyesight in certain walking paths and only when going in certain directions. So things to go up the stairs would be visible in a box only when going up, with some kind of hood, for example. The same idea for going into and out of rooms. I don't think I've seen this strategy discussed anywhere before

100%. As I've gotten older, the things that have given me the most satisfaction are those that take place over a long time.

It's kind of like planting trees - it can take a while to see the fruit, but then it keeps on giving with some ongoing maintenance.

In my life, my significant other, my career, and financials are those areas I heavily invested early on, and a decade on they are quite strong. I still struggle, but when I take a step back, I can see these are very good and feel grateful.

There were many times I have been tempted to leave. But I kept an eye on the big picture, what would leaving really change for me? And the answer was not much, I am still me (as noted in the article).

On the other hand, I have under invested in myself (health, hobbies, spirituality) and friends. My main struggle is working to shift my focus away from maximizing the former, and begin balancing more of the latter.

It's an ongoing journey :)

In this case the "management" was theoretically answerable to the "customers" themselves, since it was a private club, but my understanding was that in practice the "board" basically just rubber-stamped whatever the management wanted (very similar to how "shareholders" in big public companies are treated).

There were other reasons to think that the club was in trouble (elderly membership literally dying off, dilapidated facilities, laying off beloved long-time staff, rust-belt economy not minting a ton of new rich people) so my best guess is that it was as simple as that: they needed short-term cashflow to stay in business, so they took it from the waiters and bussers. Either this wasn't enough and they had to close up anyway, or it actually brought the ultimate failure point forward.

In general, you're right. But there are at least 2 times where they're absolutely vital- anytime you're dealing with a UI and data exploration in data science (since you make a lot of frequent, small changes in the goal of fine tuning something.) Everything else, best practices has good testing and partial compilations to make it moot. There's probably some other contexts that make it valuable, but I've never had to deal with those.

>This isn't to excuse Japan who to this day refuse to acknowledge the Rape of Nanjing

I have often heard that Japan denies or has never apologized for it's actions in China / Korea but there are numerous apologies that have been given. I think this is often repeated to both paint Japanese people as uncaring and also keep divisions between Japanese, Chinese and Korean people.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_war_apology_statements...

>On August 15, 1995, the fiftieth anniversary of the Surrender of Japan, the Japanese prime minister Tomiichi Murayama gave the first formal apology for Japanese actions during the war.[171]

>He offered his apology to all survivors and to the relatives and friends of the victims. That day, the prime minister and the Japanese Emperor Akihito pronounced statements of mourning at Tokyo's Nippon Budokan. Iris Chang, author of The Rape of Nanjing, criticized Murayama for not providing the written apology that had been expected. She said that the people of China "don't believe that an... unequivocal and sincere apology has ever been made by Japan to China" and that a written apology from Japan would send a better message to the international community.[172]

> curved ultrawide monitors

I have a 32:9 curved ultrawide monitor that I bought for games but has ended up invaluable for work (software dev). It's nigh perfect to divide into 3-4 full-size panes and gives enough space to have 6+ documents open and easily readable simultaneously, in a way I think would take three separate monitors to awkwardly emulate otherwise (and even then you'd lose the benefit of being able to go from 3 to 4 main groupings and back as needed).

The downside is, of course, the thing weighs over 30 pounds and is completely ungainly. Good luck setting it up or moving it without two people.
I spent probably $20k on labor costs alone to order 4 developer laptops for my team when I worked for the U.S. Navy.

Yeah, as a "stayer" I've learned every few years the company will give everyone a 10% pay raises just to catch back up. I hate switching jobs so I don't want to leave, but companies haven't figured that out.

It isn't hard - inflation is a known % every years, your average raise needs to exceeded that - once someone has experience they are only worth a cost of living raise, but juniors moving up to senior should be getting large raises every year to reflect their growth. Yet HR/management never looks at inflation before figuring out raises even though not matching inflation is how you fall behind and lost people with experience.

Of course companies have not yet learned to value experience. I'm not sure what will teach them that.

Bit of derailing, but I don't understand how apple's DX is still so bad everywhere.
I’m a huge Apple fan in general, but this isn’t right. Feels like a leader is getting ambitious, trying to squeeze revenue in a couple quarters instead of building new stuff that would generate new revenue

Maybe they have data suggesting people were using Patreon as an easy way around in-app payments?

Can’t imagine this generates enough revenue to offset the long-term reputation cost among creators (what I would imagine is disproportionately an Apple user base)

This is nonsense. I have essentially 6 screens on my desk, it it absolutely is very useful. Just because you can't imagine it being useful doesn't mean other people can't or don't take advantage of the extra screen real estate.

That said, I'd never use a VR/AR headset strapped to my face 8 hours a day to replace my 6 high-resolution screens. And I don't need to move my screens from place to place. If I'm not at home, that mean's I'm doing something else that isn't working, and that's a good thing.

For those who are clueless on this: the primary work of "investment bankers" is providing advice to corporate clients on raising capital (through market offerings like bonds and stocks), mergers and acquisitions, and also by underwriting transactions where they act as a middleman between the client and the market - classic case is the IPO.

This is distinct from market making, which is buying and selling securities in the market, albeit that investment banks often have strong market making operations as well.

It's also distinct from asset management, which is the business of taking money from people and investing it for them through e.g. funds.

This article is about the first kind of investment banking, which is legendary for ludicrous overloads for analysts (hires direct from school) during their first few years. Those that survive often go to B school, get their MBAs and come back as associates; but this is also a pipeline that leads into other finance careers like private equity.
