The whole policy of "we can't tell you what you did wrong because that'll help spammers" is so dumb. Yeah, that's a good idea for an account that was created last week or had no views. But if a channel has been with you for a good while and generated you money, you owe them an explanation.

Or anywhere in the southeast or midwest. Techniques for staying cool (or at least not dying) in hot weather will vary by region.
I think this might be meant for an audience for which the choice is not between fan and no fan, but fan and some other cooling mechanism (an AC). If you can use an AC, definitely prefer that at such temperatures.

If the American population had to face hot and humid climate like that of North India, there will be an uproar and some big central solution pushed very quickly.
I don’t get it either. I haven’t read the article but it always feels like a fan increases the rate at which my sweat evaporates, making me noticeably cooler. This was in the Middle East where in the shade temperatures easily go above 45C/113F in the summer
I doubt ASV would be done right more often
While this passage is more about press-releases, I feel it captures some of the same frustration and Terry Pratchett is always quotable:

> It was garbage, but it had been cooked by an expert. You had to admire the way perfectly innocent words were mugged, ravished, stripped of all true meaning and decency, and then sent to walk the gutter for Reacher Gilt, although “synergistically” had probably been a whore from the start.

> The Grand Trunk's problems were clearly the result of some mysterious spasm in the universe and had nothing to do with greed, arrogance and wilful stupidity. Oh, the Grand Trunk management had made mistakes—oops, 'well-intentioned judgements which, with the benefit of hindsight, might regrettably have been, in some respects, in error'—but these had mostly occurred, it appeared, while correcting 'fundamental systemic errors' committed by the previous management. No one was sorry for anything because no living creature had done anything wrong; bad things had happened by spontaneous generation in some weird, chilly, geometrical otherworld, and 'were to be regretted'.

They even say in the article it's the biggest one "west of the Mississippi", implying larger ones exist on the East Coast well away from the bay area.
Great writeup. I think prediction markets will break through when they figure out how to capitalize not only on collective judgment, but super-forecasting.

As currently formulated, prediction market outputs are just a fancy opinion poll, where participants have some incentive for accuracy. To rise above the simple wisdom of the crowds, you would want to identify the subset of market participants that are constantly beating the market (because they have a more accurate mental model of the world). I think this necessitates both 1) long term tracking of bets and 2) likely withholding individual positions from the market to prevent follower effects.

Similar to the title article, this raises the question of who the ultimate customer is prediction market is. Individuals can be incentivized to bet by winnings, but who else is the customer for aggregated data?

I wonder about the extent to which current prediction markets have internal outputs and derivative statistics, and what they might do with it.

If polymarket or similar companies put Trump vs Harris at 55-45, do they have internal statistics that that put the race at 80-20% among their most accurate betters? Was this data for sale?
Can we put the title of the book in quotes? The title currently reads like this link points to a review of Vienna, the city. It would be more clear if it read Review of "Vienna: How the City of Ideas Created the Modern World".
> the two are not and cannot be isolated, except for some degenerate cases like trying to guess the output of a true random number generator

You’re describing endogeneity. It’s unlikely prediction markets affect natural disaster odds.

The BEAM is made with fault tolerance, scalability, and concurrency in mind at the cost of performance due to immutability and message passing approach among other things, which sounds like a terrible choice for a multiplayer video game that's anything more than a walking simulator. Erlang sounds like a good choice for auxiliary video game services, such as chat/social, guild management, auction house and so on, not so much for the game shard itself.

I certainly disagree that the implication you read into it was there. I read the statement as a friendly bit of banter, not an implied accusation of ignorance.

I did read the fine article, but the eruption there only deposited (high-temperature?) ash.

"I guess you don't want to drect your searches to your web console."

The web form is for sending copied and pasted text to the frecon console.

For various reasons, I do not use the Ctrl-Alt-T browser-based "console".

I do not use a graphical web browser much. I do searches from the console. I type the search query on the command line or into a file if I am doing bulk searches.

As such, when I set a localhost address as a custom default search engine I am doing so as a way of disabling searching from the address bar. It also functions as a shortcut to reach local HTML files served by a localhost-bound httpd/netcat. For example, if the default search URL is set to http://127.0.0.1/%s.html and the local HTML file is a web form called clip.html, then I type "clip" in the address bar to open the web form.

Mozilla really wants to send everything that a user types in the address bar to a remote address, e.g., that of its business partner Google, before the user ever hits Enter. This desire, perhaps an implicit or explicit requirement of their contractual relationship, is reflected in the Firefox default settings, i.e., the design of Firefox.

I skimmed it, but couldn't find what the "doodle theorem" is. It's only mentioned in the title.
Living in hot and humid climate is miserable even for people living there all the time. Yes humans persist and carry on but it doesn't make it less miserable, and any lucky person who was able to escape will never ever want to go back to that lifestyle.
If you follow the links, it's not.

It's between fan and no fan. The supposed reason is the additional heating via convection that takes place.
>> CDC recommends not using a fan at temperatures above 32.2°C

>I don't know quite how to put this, but are they idiots?

I can't believe they said that. They need to move anywhere in the US Southern region. 32.2C is a cool day reprieve in a Southern summer and fans are a necessity.

Even a broken clock is right twice a day. I can publish a paper with results I think are wrong, but it's entirely possible that follow up studies confirm it was accidentally correct. While this is improbable in general, if we restrict ourselves to publishing claims that are sufficiently plausible that people in the field would accept them as a corner stone paper, then there is a very decent chance it sounds plausible because it's true. Even if I test the claim myself before publishing to confirm it's false, I may have made an error.

Possibly repeatedly publishing bogus papers in a certain manner might be able to confidently weed out poor academic hygeine, but it's not a trivial thing.
There is a conflict of interest between the information prerogative, which requires facilitating the law of large numbers and factors stability, and the profitability of gambling, which favours encouraging larger bets and volatility.

I'm 100% with you. I grew up in a place where winters can be fairly chilly - 0-10℃-ish, but in the summer it can go easily over 40℃.

Fans are an absolute necessity. Classrooms without fans mean kids sleeping in class due to overheating. Being at home without a fan is an absurd notion (unless you have AC, of course).

Go out in a hot day when the air is mostly still, and feel the relief every time the smallest breeze flows by.

Skin has natural heatsinks, especially sweat. Blow air onto them and their efficiency multiplies. We should all know this - we put big fans atop CPU/GPU heatsinks for a reason.

(Author here) It's complicated :-). I will say: it's hard to define "gambling" in the corporate setting.

Is it gambling to do an extra project in hope of getting a "Spot Bonus" (~$250-$1000) in recognition? That was a very standardized process at Google.

Is it gambling to file a patent application, which if approved, would lead to a $1000 bonus and a trophy you'd often see on the desks of Google Brain researchers?

Is it gambling to decline auto-sale of RSUs, and have your compensation determined more by movements in GOOG than in your cash salary?
What do "any real sense" and "scale" mean here? I was watching the Betfair odds during the US election, and that market alone had about $500 million dollars of bets pass through it. Is that not real? Is half a billion dollars not sufficiently scaled up?
You make a very good argument against prediction markets in which the stake has actual material value, but what about markets where the only stake is your reputation? My understanding of the Google platforms is that there were prize rewards for top predictors but largely the rewards were social, which, to me, implies they were not taken particularly seriously. An ideal platform might be one where there is no material incentive but users are instead interested in genuine hypothesizing about future events. Obviously there must be a genuine stake involved, but as we see with Manifold this can be done with 'play money'.

Would be very interested to see further discussion about this.
It's almost like a bunch of YouTube channels ought to "unionize", to defend themselves against capricious and extreme (im-)moderation.
Euler’s graph theorem.
Its because of thermodynamics. When you use fans in an area that doesn't have other external circulation, you introduce more energy into the system. This will increase increase temperature. From personal experience for a closed room, fans don't help if temperature even reaches 27degC. If the temperature outside exceeds 35 degC or basically any comfortable temperature, the result will depend on humidity levels. If you are sweating, it will help because of evaporation - some energy is absorbed for the phase change. If its really dry, a fan will only make it worse.

> That's part of the problem though: It's not an intelligence, artificial or otherwise, yet we still call it "AI", giving people the impression that LLMs are almost AGI or a step on the way while a true artificial intelligence would be a completely different animal.

In other words, we're all parroting the marketing (aka propaganda) that was created to mislead us.

Maybe we should stop doing that, and refuse to use the term "AI" to refer to the object of this current hype cycle/bubble. Maybe we should call it the autocomplete bubble instead?
Nice, thanks for the links :)
There's a middle path between rote memorization of outcomes, and building everything up from first principles. And I'm guessing it's probably what the parent poster had in mind.

A great statistics textbook along these lines is Principles of Statistics by MG Bulmer. It's one of those Dover classic textbooks that you can get for cheap. This book assumes you already know basic calculus and combinatorics. It then goes through a series of practical problems, and shows how you can use calculus or combinatorics to solve them. And, along the way, an intuitive and holistic perspective on statistics begins to form.

The overall effect is great. It's a lot like a 3blue1brown video series, only from the 1960s, and with problem sets.

> Single source of truth.

So to get a single source of truth we make, presumably, the same truth have more sources.

I think I know what you mean (sources as in standards organizations, not individual standards), but I also think that people arrive at this odd position because they aren't actually thinking about the practicality and the absurdity of making the world more complex and confusing.

Yes, and evaporation happens faster with a fan.

And you don't need to soak your shirt, you just need to sweat which happens automatically in most people.

So even with hotter air, the fan can be cooling you DOWN.

Sorry, but thinking is a social category. Debating it is pointless because it assumes the existence of social facts. Once you're aware of the existence of the meta category of social facts as reified ideas, all of them become unjustifiable. The line of argumentation is already dead.

It’s excellent. For those the speak German, there is also a fanatastic audio book read by an Austrian actor. It very much sounds like Zweig speaking because of the accent.
We don't need first principals thinking every time, but having an understanding of why you can't just test 100 variations of your hypothesis and accept p=0.05 as "statistically significant" is important.

Additionally it's quite useful to have the background to understand the differences between Pearson correlation and Spearman rank, or why you might want to use Welch's t-test vs students, etc.

Not that you should know all of these things off the top of your head necessarily, but you should have the foundation to be able to quickly learn them, and you should know what assumptions the tests you're using actually make.

It's not a question of trust. It's a question of commerce. People buy computers, and they use the OS on it. If the Linux community really wants to drive adoption by normies, the focus shouldn't be on ease of use, or ease of installation. They should fight to break Microsoft's monopoly and demand to be an optional selection during every purchase.
This is completely incorrect. Just as the other comment says, ideas are not copyrightable, only their expression is. Your comment shows a very fundamental lack of understanding of the systems in place.

It's the minimize/maximize/close buttons. Inactive windows draw them ever so slightly in gray compared to active windows drawing them in black. Calculator has them in black.

As for Powershell/Terminal, assuming the screenshot wasn't timed deliberately, there is no caret which implies it's not the active window.

It's shading, but the worst kind of shading.

Since hamming distance calculations take relatively few gates, its might be possible to compute those in-memory(ram/flash) to achieve massive amount of paralellism(for ex, a specific hamming distance calculations block for each stored vector) and at much lower power.

Pretty sensationalist title for used furniture arbitrage.

I was hoping for some insight on capture and disposition of IP.

I would think failing gracefully involves reaching out to competitors (and customers and suppliers) for "mergers" so investors get some of the value of the company -- without somehow signaling that you're giving up (and can no longer be relied upon). What's the state of the art in that respect? It seems like a fantastically tricky process, which would mean high value for skilled practitioners.

lack of isolation isnt necessarily a insurmountable problem, as the market can still forecast, even if it is sometimes a self fulfilling prophecy. Similarly, this distortion does not necessarily overshadow the utility - e.g. the stock market may have insider trading, but is still an incredibly useful financial tool.

They key thing to remember is that these markets can have utility beyond zero-sum betting aspect. For example, the stock market isnt just gamblers betting against each other, but is also a tool for auctioning corporate ownership and raising corporate funds.

Over a decade ago, when I was just learning Linux, I set out on a quest to turn a CentOS box into a router that could perform NAT between two different networks.

I took it apart the next day and never did anything more with it, but the journey and the reward was the fun of it.
