Well both are statements that can be true or false.

I would say in physics it's also a population parameter. It's just sometimes we feel so confident about a single observation that we only need to take 1 sample.

>You may disagree, but I see statistics as a science, akin to physics

I don't disagree. This has been my entire point. I define statistics as the foundational formal definition of the scientific method.
Why is my engineering team so much slower than they used to be?
> Of course as an individual health plan member that won't tell you your out-of-pocket cost for a particular service

If I can't get this, there's no price transparency. Of course it's even worse than this in practice, since not only can no one tell me my out-of-pocket cost for a service I'm about to purchase, they can't tell me what the negotiated rate is going to be, and it could be over a year before anyone can tell me either the negotiated rate or my share of the negotiated rate. (Odds are it will take at least a month and these figures will be renegotiated multiple times before I get a bill.)
I had to reduce the size in my browser a couple or so times to see both the puzzle and all the clues at the same time. It might be better to have the clues in a separate scrolling region on the page.

The way the NYT does this on their web interface is nice. They have the puzzle in one column, the across clues in a second column, and the down clues in a third column. The clue columns each are scrollable.

It automatically scrolls to keep the clue for whatever word you have selected in view and highlights that clue, and also automatically scrolls to keep the clue for whatever word crosses that word at the particular square you have highlighted is also visible and marked in the margin of its clue list.

They do similar in their iPad app, but also below the puzzle show the clue for the selected word and for whatever word crosses it at the highlighted square. With that you can concentrate on the grid and a fixed clue area.
'Cause A caused both B and C? If you see the codex and the shroud contain the "same" information, doesn't it seem reasonably likely they got it from the same place? And people weren't bad at copying back then, so the "same place" could really be all over.
That’s about one percent of the estimated number of North Korean military personnel [1]. That seems to me like a not insignificant percentage, considering the North Korea military is also stationed in large numbers along the country’s border with South Korea.

Presumably North Korea is doing this in exchange for cash, oil, or other support from Russia. As tensions with South Korea are rising again, they might also want to give their soldiers combat experience.

I wonder what will happen, though, if many of their soldiers are killed or wounded fighting for Russia. Totalitarian dictatorships like North Korea can seem from the outside to be firmly entrenched and resistant to domestic political pressures. But a failed military adventure could lead to unprecedented pressure on the leaders who ordered it.

What the US could do is cap prices in the US at some modest multiple of the cheapest price charged in other countries. The drug maker would then have a choice: cater to either the US market at an elevated price while losing the cheaper markets, or abandon the US market to have a possibly larger market elsewhere at lower prices.
I suppose the tl;dr would go something like this: 1) we think mapping/navigation/routing should be as good for bicyclists, pedestrians, people in wheelchairs, on scooters, and micromobility generally as it is for those driving cars. 2) the reason mapping/navigation/routing is _not_ as good for micromobility as for cars is scarcity and incompleteness of map data necessary to enable it (we're using OSM to make this determination). 3) we're working on some tools to address the data problem, with an eye to building high-quality micromobility mapping/navigation/routing on top of it.

I was thinking exactly this. I am the maintainer of ntfy.sh and my costs are $0 at the moment because DogotalOcean is paying for it 100% because it is open source. It would be around $100, though I must admit it's quite oversized. However, my volume is much much higher than what is described in the blog.

I suspect that the architecture can be improved to get the cost down.

I used to be a ruby developer and was almost 100% in auditory mode - never visualizing anything other than a UX and how I thought they’d be used.

Later in my career I became a solution architect and it was a struggle early. I think something like 99% of people in corporate are visual and literally could not understand the solutions I’d vocalize even when I’d talk to them like they were 5 years old. A more seasoned architect told me taught me sequence diagrams and abstractions. I got good at Powerpoint and my programming skills suffered as a result of using different parts of my brain more and less.

Well that's the basis of my arguments. If you disagree on foundational definitions then we have a disagreement on language and our choice of what definition to use for what word is rather arbitrary. There's no way to conclude a discussion at this point.

Additionally if you actually follow the wiki definition above of "theoretical computer science" all of the contents of that article are literally describing mathematics and nothing else. EVEN the introduction says it's math. You haven't commented on this point.

Also It's not a "my definition" it's more of a definition within a well known body of study called the philosophy of science.

Because the EFF Cooperative Computing Awards for the first discovery of large enough prime numbers are still active. Publishing the probable prime in advance would risk someone verifying faster than GIMPS.
I work for a huge corp, but the startup rules still apply in most situations because we're doing internal stuff where velocity really matters, and the number of small moving parts make unit tests not very useful.

Unfortunately, integration testing is painful and hardly done here because they keep inventing new bad frameworks for it, sticking more reasonable approaches behind red tape, or raising the bar for unit test coverage. If there were director-level visibility for integration test coverage, would be very different.
Thanks for the feedback!

Can you share a bit more about why you feel it's deceptive?

The point I was trying to make is that database servers are relatively complex and expensive. S3 is still a server, but it's static storage, which is about as simple and cheap as it gets for a remote service.

Was it that I could have been clearer about the distinction? Or was the distinction clear but feels like not a big difference?

> it's coordinating the external trade links to keep everyone paid and in their jobs while the top of the regime changes to new hands that's difficult.

That's actually a really good insight. It explains why quite a few successful revolutions – e.g. Russia and China – happened in countries _without_ an established administrative bureaucracy, and patted themselves on the based on their apparent competence in building one.
It's not either/or, but integration is more important. As in, if you're going to defer one thing (which happens often), it should be unit tests.

There's a shocking amount of systems that still have 32 bit time_t.

That someone will totally count as the discoverer under the current rules [1], because it requires the deterministic primality proof for given number. It doesn't matter how much effort was taken to reach that candidate so far, even though it would be virtually impossible to find any new prime without that. I think the temporary embargo is fully justified for this reason.

(And I think it is technically possible to probe the reports to find what it was anyway, but it is not easy to find one at least for me. If you are really looking for that, look for the P-PRP result type.)

I disagree with how this post was downvoted so heavily – this in an illustrative moment of rapprochement near the end of apartheid; saying it ended apartheid was a figure of speech, of course it didn't end apartheid in and of itself. It's as reasonable as saying that the fall of the Berlin Wall ended the Cold War.

Yeah, we actually can't technically have any confidence for anything. Yet somehow we are. It's a bit paradoxical to our daily experience.
The reality of our society is that many will meet their end alone and in poverty. Is it so different from parts of our history, where the old chose to take a long walk into the wilderness before the indignity of what follows? I’m not sure. We like to pretend our society is much richer and more capable than it is—that we can take care of everyone. Maybe we can, but I have my doubts. In cases where we fail, I think we should at least allow people the dignity of choosing their own exit. I don’t think it makes much difference whether their suffering comes from a disease of their body or a disease of society. In the short term, both can be inevitable and excruciating.
And they will provide it as required per law. Note that the law does not require them to provide that in a form that would be usable for anything practical without doing moderate to heavy amount of reverse engineering (e.g. here's the source, here's the toolchain that was released in approximately same period of time, go figure out if this can even be built without recreating part of their internal build system, missing configs, etc).

BTW same is true for solar panels. Second-hand solar panels, with remaining efficiency of 70%-90% of the original rating, are really cheap. It's a perfect thing to reuse for a "greener hosting" hobby project.

The commodification of education and the generative AI-induced scam-like culture
Abstract: "Learning is hard, mastery takes time, and time ripens all things. This may seem appalling in an age where instant gratification offers quick ways to write a thesis and get a degree without bothering to master a topic. If so, what about intellectual and academic integrity? What about the evaluation of learning? What about the quality of information provided by (generative) AI systems? Like all sectors, education is experiencing a crisis of legitimacy amplified by the ultra-fast and widespread adoption of (generative) AI. What's the point of spending several years on a school bench if we can pretend to know in seconds? This scam-like culture did not pop up out of nowhere. Its origins can be traced back to Silicon Valley where "fake it till you make it" has become a globalised motto nurtured by the gospel of tech solutionism. In this paper, we argue that there still is no sign of a revolution of AI in education, only in the media and corporate outlets. We are witnessing a corporate-AI coup, a digital stratagem to reclaim triumph in an already devastated sector, an attempt to appropriate leadership, taking over educational institutions' decision-making by promising solutions to systemic problems that are not solvable with them. We demonstrate it with varied examples. To maintain its appeal, the gospel of techno-solutionism, now supercharged by generative AI, enjoys the unpaid support of educational elites: educators and students using, beta-testing, and training AI technologies, thereby promoting the use of those technologies despite their flaws and negative implications. We analyse the origins and factors conditioning such an AI-dependent situation, demystifying its influence with factual analysis that educators outside the AI field may not possess, and suggest different narratives to facilitate understanding the AI bubble. If there is an AI revolution in education, it is the accelerated commodification of education at any cost. This paper shows a different, much-needed path forward."

> 1. What is happening in this lawsuit?

> A group of people (called Plaintiffs) filed a class action lawsuit against Patreon, Inc. ("Patreon")—the defendant in this lawsuit. These Plaintiffs claimed that Patreon disclosed its users' identities and video-viewing preferences without consent in violation of federal law. Patreon denies these allegations.

> In April 2024, Patreon agreed to pay $7.25 million to settle the claims against it. The group of people that Patreon has agreed to pay is called the Settlement Class and it includes everyone who, between April 1, 2016 and September 23, 2024, requested or obtained video content on the Patreon website (patreon.com) while in the United States and at a time the person had a Facebook account and a Patreon account. If you are in this group and want to get paid, you must submit a claim. Details on how to submit a claim are provided below.

I don't find this to be surprising.

Healthcare services have inelastic demand. If you have a broken leg, and the average income is $X or $2X, clearly the hospital can charge twice as much in the second case and still mend legs.

What is surprising is the third section:

> The rising health share explained by rising quantities per capita (not prices!)

I don't think the author really makes the point, however.

They don't seem to claim that higher income people are getting more doctor's visits or more procedures done or taking more medicine (though this may all be true).

Rather, they claim that the we are putting more resources into healthcare, a somewhat orthogonal claim.
I am a farmer, although one that isn't big enough to buy new equipment. Essentially, what happens is that only the big operators buy new – or more likely lease new – where they only keep it for a season or two. They aren't apt to be too worried about right to repair as the machine will be under warranty the entire time they keep it. Once it goes onto the used market, well... You're at the mercy of what is on the used market.
How is a long walk in the woods not exactly 'meet their end alone and in poverty', given the shame that must motivate that?

Also was this common? What cultures endorsed and regularly practiced this?
I was always very much in favour of opening up people's right to have control over the manner of their death, philosophically it seems inexcusable to me that we routinely keep people alive well beyond the point where they are not only in unbearable agony, but where their condition and/or medical interventions necessary to sustain them have sapped every last ounce of meaning from their lives, leaving them no option but to starve themselves to death or use some other grisly means to end their own suffering in isolation from their loved ones, when they could have a relatively painless death at the time, manner, and in the presence of people of their own choosing.

I knew that this obviously came with risks, old people being pressured into it to ease the burden on, or speed inheritance for their children, people being pressured to take pressure off the medical system, etc. But I believed that trying to manage these risks was well worth the outcome that people might be able to die with a shred of dignity intact.

I have to say that the Canadian experience has made me wonder whether I was wrong. Not in a strong rhetorical sense, but it has given me more doubt than I've ever entertained before. Are we socially or systemically incapable of managing those risks given a certain institutional configuration? I don't know. Happy for people to provide counter evidence for me if they like. I really don't know what to think about this anymore.
Yes. It serves a purpose. It allows people to know anyone who cites it is ~17 and knows everything about everything ;-)

I understand this is a hot-topic, and definitely an extremely nuanced issue, but as a person who knows people who took the MAID (Canadian euthanasia process) way out for a terminal illness, I will be forever grateful for it. It’s not uncommon to meet people whose elder relatives went through it as well, after years of constant pain up here.

It definitely has shortcomings, but I genuinely hope the fixes will not result in rolling back the program completely.
