Put another way, this is pretty similar to the interpolation approaches that would normally be used for datasets like this in the world of mineral exploration. Kriging/co-kriging (i.e. gaussian processes) is the more commonly used approach in this particular field due to both the long history and the available hyperparameters for things like spatial aniostropy.

However, kriging is really quite difficult to use with non-continuous inputs. RF is a lot more forgiving there. You don't need to develop a covariance model for discrete values (or a covariance model for how the different inputs relate, either).
No - they think there's a palpable disconnect between the public environmental statements made by men like Zuck, and the way that they themselves behave.

> articles like this though just seems to want to put "Romas" into a group too.

GP is well aware of the distinction but wants to erase the unique, Indian in origin, identity of Roma - classic european cultural genocide.

Also this article is a hit piece on Romania.

It claims:

"When slavery was finally abolished in 1856, the 250,000 Roma slaves – around 7% of the Romanian population at the time – received no reparations, while their abusers were handsomely compensated"

Yet Romania was founded in 1859.

Furthermore, Roma people were not enslaved by the Orthodox Church.

They were already enslaved when brought by the mongols from India during their campaigns of invasion.

And finally, many of these "palaces" are built using stolen money usually from western europe. Such acts have done great damage to Romania and Romanians.

Is the ownership information as public? Possibly it is, but the implication that specific people are on a given flight seems NOT public information. Or maybe the problem here is that these ultra wealthy people are wealthy enough to one a couple of planes but not enough to own so many that it would be hard to tell if they are flying at all.

I don't know. To me this feels the equivalent of having paparazzo permanently on your tail. I know, it's just a ultrarich person, they don't need our defending. Just feels like like a overkill method of accountability to make a tail visible and available for all to see all the time

There wouldn't be any core for this. It would be a holdout of the brine samples used in training. The thing that would be being produced is brine, so lithium concentrations in brine samples are the validation dataset as well. In other words, this is spatial interpolation.

> the ruling class don't want it

Too cynical and defeatist for my taste. The difference between the “ruling class” and you is that politicians know what it takes to get support from large donors. A typical Senator spends most of their day figuring that out in fact.

But at the end of the day politicians still need votes, not dollars. One way to swing the balance back would be to make support contingent on support for (and accomplishment of) popular goals.

This would be a great way to go out of business. Every single one of their suppliers, and customers, would need to make the same choice simultaneously.

I was thinking more recent stuff, like fed income tax and then "giving" that money back with strings resulting in the current "we'll fund your state level EPA and DOT agencies but only if they goose step in line with us" status quo. Said status quo means that every stupid nitpick of federal law winds up getting fought tooth and nail over.
The news title is such wrong. They meant billioniares who have share in greenhouse gas emitting companies have million times more than average shareholder. It's not related to emitting greenhouse gas.

The problem with carbon tax is the opposite. It would disproportionately tax poor higher. The carbon usage doesn't go up by 100x if the income increases by 100x.
The Supreme Court overturned Roe vs. Wade 2 years ago and the Chevron doctrine recently.

Do you think these judgements were both supported by the constitution when they were made and also not supported by the same constitution when overturned? Which one was the "ruling based on law"?

If there was a straight deterministic line from the laws to the rulings the court make, we would need far less courts or lawyers or highly trained judges. The fact is there are a million laws and precedents with 100 applying to any given situation in slightly different ways with many interpretations. Laws are written vaguely to keep them somewhat future-proof and leave room for interpretation/evolution. The courts do have a lot of power here.

Thanks for ignoring the previous sentence. It provided context for my following assertion.
I recall an article comparing CO2 emissions of private jets verses commercial airlines a couple of years back. A bunch of assumptions were made, but the rough figure was five times higher per passenger mile. When you consider that people who use private jets are likely flying more than those who use commercial airlines, and that individuals are being asked to make sacrifices for the sake of reducing CO2 emissions, then yes it is consequential.
You physically can't remove the overburden for this. The Smackover is at a depth of multiple kilometers in most of these areas.

It's mining brine. I.e. the "mines" are basically deep water wells.

The limestone itself doesn't have any lithium. It's the water in the pores in the limestone that is relatively concentrated in lithium.

In most of these cases, you're already producing brines from the smackover formation as a part of existing oil and gas production, but the brine is being re-injecting after oil is separated from it. The idea is that it's better to keep those and evaporate them down for lithium production.

That does require large evaporation ponds, generally speaking, but it's not strip mining.
It's not like money can meaningfully reduce carbon in the atmosphere at this point in time, so it's pretty much impossible to "earn" the "right" to this type of destructive externality.

Source maps are not sufficient to fully expose the semantics of the language being debugged to the debugger. You also need the expression evaluator (for stuff like Watch etc) to understand what it's debugging. And in cases where transpilation includes nontrivial mapping of data structures, you also need the ability to do that mapping in reverse to display the values.

Source maps work great for TS because it is just "JavaScript with types" at this point.
Here's the good stuff: https://www.lipomed-usa.com/en/cannabinoide

Lipomed and a few other companies actually sell all kinds of psychoactives and narcotics as reference standards for toxicology, but the market for cannabis references got a lot larger since most states require laboratory assay of cannabis products. I think gas chromatography by flame ionization is the typical method but you have to calibrate your equipment against some really top-shelf stuff.
Yes, studies show people are more likely to want to come into the office if they have a nice office to come into. But what's the point of paying say half a million/year for an engineer if you also have to give them a nice space to be productive in?

> Though I’m a little confused why there is both the Italian looking type of Romanian and the Dracula looking type.

It's self explanatory. Romania was the name of the Roman Empire, in vulgar latin, starting around Diocletian, and Romanians are descendants of Romans (lierarily colonists from spain, italy, the balkans, and anatolia mixed with what was left from the dacians), as documented by literarily all classic and modern historians starting 80 AD after the Roman invasion of the former kingdon of Dacia by emperor Trajan. Not even Romania's arch enemies dispute that.

Over thousands of years, the country was invaded by various peoples, including slavs, hungarians, and mongols - the latter bringing in Roma (Indians) as slaves. Thus the genetic mix and variation in apperance.

It feels like this article is classic misinformation and classic british anti Romanian propaganda. Does not belong on HN.

Edit: be great if whoever downvotes would actually disprove my comment with facts. I am happy to provide links ranging from Cassius Dio to modern historians to those interested in genuine facts.

Context matters.
Exactly what reforms do you want? If you want first amendment restrictions you can look into passing another amendment. That's really how that's supposed to work. The logic behind the ruling is fine if you actually dig into it - funding is speech, government funding of some candidates and not others dilutes the speech of some citizens and effectively compels speech from other citizens through the government. A better approach would be restricting all political advertising to some government provided platform. This would avoid the wasteful government matching.

Both of these remain true to today, which is why we always interview people at one layer below the requirement of the job so they know what they’re doing.

Maybe 10 years ago there was a contentious Senate race here in my state. They spent tons of money courting voters, with ads in all kinds of media and a non-stop brigade of earnest young people (volunteers? paid?) going door to door and harassing people who hadn't voted early.

This year is somewhat similar, except the local media market is dead and a lions share of the money is going to 2 tech companies. I read they took 78% in the 2020 election cycle. You can guess which 2 companies those are.

> I offered that as an example showing that the problem exists and can be detected.

An example [0] suggesting ~0.0004% bad votes in an election is not a meaningful example unless you want to sneakily redefine "the problem" away from "significant numbers of bad-votes may change results" to a pointlessly bland "some nonzero number of bad-votes happen." [1]

If cases are as persistent and widespread as those politicians claim, it should be much easier to find similarly-large-scale evidence. (For example, their mythical "buses of illegals.")

> federal courts oversee them, and federal courts have blocked state-level investigations. For example [...]

That "example" is nonsense.

1. It has nothing to do with non-citizens (or felons) registering to vote or casting ballots. The thing Texas "can't investigate" is an entirely separate crime the state recently added to their books, involving a different set of people doing different things.

2. The reason they're being blocked from prosecution is because they passed a shitty law with a crime that might unconstitutionally restrict freedom of speech, not because the state doesn't manage and audit its own voter-rolls and election systems and enforce existing criminal statues.

> There is nothing magical or special about human brain.

There is a lot about the human brain that even the world's top neuroscientists don't know. There's plenty of magic about it if we define magic as undiscovered knowledge.

There's also no consensus among top AI researchers that current techniques like LLMs will get us anywhere close to AGI.

Nothing I've seen on current models (not even o1-preview) suggests to me that AIs can reason about codebases of more than 5k LOC. A top 5% engineer can probably make sense of a codebase of a couple million LOC in time.

Which models specifically have you seen that are looking like they will be able to surmount any time soon the challenges of software design and architecture I'm laying out in my previous comment?

It looks like that story is apocryphal.

There's a reddit question which refutes this idea [0] and provides some sources (which are paywalled) [1] [2].

That reddit question also has a source [3] that claims Galton used the term "normal" in the "standard model, pattern type" sense from the 1880s onwards:

"""
...
However in the 1880s he began using the term "normal" systematically: chapter 5 of his Natural Inheritance (1889) is entitled "Normal Variability" and Galton refers to the "normal curve of distributions" or simply the "normal curve." Galton does not explain why he uses the term "normal" but the sense of conforming to a norm ( = "A standard, model, pattern, type." (OED)) seems implied.
"""

Though I haven't confirmed, it looks like Gauss never used the term "normal" to denote orthogonality of the curve.

A quick Google search will tell you that Mark’s Gulfstream G650 has tail number N68885.

The FAA mandates that the jet broadcast its location over ADS-B,
mostly to avoid being hit by other jets.

There are fortunately many websites that aggregate data from honorable volunteers with ADS-B receivers. So much that it’s easy to determine Mark probably took a trip to Cabos in late September.

I suppose it’s not explicitly public that it’s mark’s jet, the FAA has it registered to A7P TRUST CO INC TRUSTEE in Cheyenne, Wyoming. Another quick Google will lead you to an article that talks about how Mark’s last house was sold by an LLC managed by A7P (real estate transactions and their parties are also public data in most US jurisdictions). It’s not as if these accounts were revealing deep secrets, that were otherwise undiscoverable.

I guess now he knows how the rest of us feel about be tracked?

Serious question - what do you think will happen to AI that currently relies on human reporters if everyone switches to getting their news from AI and the reporters lose their jobs?

Morals aside, AI will run into serious problems in 10-20 years when the world has rearranged itself around AI content. With less non-AI content available and no reliable way to differentiate AI vs non-AI content, there will no longer be a dataset to train against.

Individual humans summarizing the news can reduce revenue for news organizations slightly, but AI summarizing every news article is a problem on a whole different scale. Basically the same as the difference between getting a mosquito bite and being stabbed in your carotid artery - both are just blood loss, but one is a minor annoyance and the other is fatal.
And on the flip side states rights is what let half the country not have slavery from the get go, certain states grant women suffrage, basically every singular "good thing" you could come up with started in one state. My state had great public healthcare before the federal mandate.

> that's not a fair overview of the amicus brief, there are good points there about the process of notifying orphan works rights holders and about the risk of a monopolistic position

What I meant by “jealous” is that the Internet Archive’s interest was not to improve author notification or to protect foreign authors; it was to provide a competing service under similar or better terms than Google was able to negotiate without spending the time and money that Google did litigating. Kahle wanted what was in Google’s settlement.

And what I meant by “Kahle was wrong” is not that every argument that his lawyers thought up was false; I think the agreement was later amended to fix some issues. My point is that Kahle’s theory of change was wrong. He thought that when the settlement was rejected, then Google would push Congress to create an orphan works law which the Internet Archive could use to publish old books too. As he wrote in his op-ed, “We need to focus on legislation to address works that are caught in copyright limbo. … We are very close to having universal access to all knowledge. Let's not stumble now.” https://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2009/0... As it turns out, the rejection of the class action settlement did not cause Congress to create an orphan works law. In retrospect, we would have been more likely to get an orphan works law if Google had been allowed to set up a proof of the concept, making the monopoly on orphan works temporary.
