Universities charge stupid amounts (50%+) of overhead to researchers. The PIs basically run a lab, hustle for the funding writing grant proposals, and uni takes a big fat cut of whatever funding gets pulled in. And that overhead all gets spent on useless administration, buildings and facilities, investments, and basically anything other than the research the grant was for.

> We absolutely have statistical and theoretical frameworks for evaluating collective behavior.

Yes, we do, but their predictive power, if it exists at all, is very poor. Science is about building models with good predictive power. If you don't have that, you don't have a science, at least not in any way that matters.
I get the solution for this and I know what all the terms mean. But I don't understand the problem. Whether it's facetious or hyperbole or whatever, I just don't get who or what circumstances this is addressing.

This is written like a Jeopardy answer. I just don't know what the question is.

Can anyone enlighten me?
It is.

Not sure for other European countries, but in Italy most collectives bargain agreements (negotiated by unions and covering like 98% of workers) state that every worker has a right to ask for at least 14 uninterrupted days of vacation. Plus more days depending on the employment level and tenure in the company.

When i was a kit my father used to take three weeks in the summer, every summer.

So yes, it really is typical in Europe.

It’s just an American thing that 3-4 weeks of vacation per year is luxury.
> The Founders wrote it into the Constitution; the Supreme Court decided that their (extremely dubious) wording means what the NRA wants it to mean.

A 2000 law review article on the topic found that between 1887 (when things were first indexed) until 1960, all references were towards a collective right (i.e., in a militia, akin to the current National Guard):

* https://scholarship.kentlaw.iit.edu/cklawreview/vol76/iss1/2...

The 1960 article that first mentions it states:

> The majority of the jurisdictions have concluded that both the United States Constitution and the various state constitutions, having a similar provision relating to the right to bear arms, refer to the militia as a whole composed and regulated by the state as it desires. The individual does not have the right to own or bear individual arms, such being a privilege not a right.

* https://scholarship.law.wm.edu/wmlr/vol2/iss2/6/

So the first mention of an individual right states that that is not how it is interpreted (the author argues for a dual-right, collective and individual).

In 1992:

> Former Chief Justice of the U.S. Supreme Court Warren Burger argues that the sale, purchase, and use of guns should be regulated just as automobiles and boats are regulated; such regulations would not violate the Second Amendment of the U.S. Constitution.

* https://www.ojp.gov/ncjrs/virtual-library/abstracts/second-a...

Burger in a 1991 PBS interview:

> This has been the subject of one of the greatest pieces of fraud – I repeat the word ‘fraud’ – on the American public by special interest groups that I have ever seen in my lifetime. If the militia, which was going to be the state army, was going to be well-regulated, why shouldn't 16 and 17 and 18, or any other age, persons be regulated in the use of arms the way an automobile is regulated?

While you are correct, here is a fun side fact.

The electric signals inside a (classical) processor or digital logic chip are made up of many electrons. Electrons are not fully well behaved and there are often deviations from ideal behavior. Whether a signal gets interpreted as 0 or 1 depends on which way the majority of the electrons are going. The lower the power you operate at, the fewer electrons there are per signal, and the more errors you will see.

So in a way, there is a a repetition code in a classical computer (or other similar devices such as an optical fiber). Just in the hardware substrate, not in software.
Complex structure for extraction of tar made by Neanderthals 60K years ago
I do my PhD in in-air ultrasound with phased arrays and talk to the medical guys at conferences/labs that we talk to and it's soooo much harder in solids/liquids. The frequency is significantly higher, think 1-10MHz instead of like 40khz, so any normal electronics are out the window.
I'll pile onto that. I love improv. It gave me a new set of mental skills that are difficult to train for elsewhere. It teaches you how to walk in a room and make the best of any situation and overcome that feeling of meeting strangers. I find any difficult work situation I can now approach from a "what can we do with this?" mentality, where I used to always dread rolling up my sleeves to do more work. Highly recommended to anyone, but especially anyone in a leadership role.
The degree to which a science is valuable is proportional to the degree to which it would keep working if we finally wiped out humans and the goddamned whining stopped. Physics wouldn't notice, sociology would become irrelevant.

Deterministic within a single image yes, but not within arbitrary subsections. Classical filters aren’t trying to reconstruct something resembling “other images it’s seen before”. Makes a difference both in theory and practice.
I'm probably not going to be the one to figure them out, but like I suggested, hot reload on every keystroke is the first thing that comes to mind. It's probably better not to think of Tailwind CSS on its own here, but rather as one super fast part of a broader super fast build pipeline. Making Tailwind fast just means it's not the blocker. Imagine combining 10 or 20 tools that all have sub-millisecond incremental build times.
Jainja: A Java Virtual Machine Written in Java
There does not need to be intentionality for people to interpret it. Humans have interpreted intentionality behind natural phenomenon like the weather and constellations since pre-history, and continue to do so.

And I contest the original claim that AI art has no intentionality. A human provided a prompt, adjusted that prompt, and picked a particular output, all of which is done with intent. Perhaps there is no specific intent behind each individual pixel, but there is intent behind the overall creation. And that is no different to photography or digital art, where there is often no specific intent behind each individual pixel, as digital tools modify wide swathes of pixels simultaneously.

Because the distance between the mics needs to be 1) large and 2) consistent. It would work with a grid but the mics near the middle would be "underutilized" (not maximally taken advantage of), and also in a grid the mathematics is horrendous, but with a circle it's simple.

On this point - check out Matthew Pines on his view that over the next year the US will force allies to convert treasuries and gold to US century bonds, with the stick being a threat of being left outside the US security and technology alliance system.

Elon Musk emails reveal OpenAI's history of struggles over money and power
Growing up I had an Amiga but my uncle, who was a semi-pro musician, had an ST and this was connected via midi to an Akai sampler and a Roland synth that were mounted in a rack near the computer; in the rack there were some effects too. This was a dream setup in the late 80's. On the Amiga I would use tracker software[1] to make music and until I finally got a cheap sampling interface[2], I had to just use samples that I would find in the accompanying floppy of various Amiga magazines. Obviously my uncle's setup was extremely hi-fi compared to mine and so to this day I have this idea in the back of my mind that "ST is for people who have money" LOL.

Are you really saying that psychology doesn’t have “any sort of reproducible outcomes,” or are you not including that one in your definition of “soft sciences?” The comment you’re replying to explicitly did, but I want to give you the benefit of the doubt.

Because Skinner boxes exist. There are entire multi-billion dollar industries built around them (casinos, gacha games/loot boxes), just to pick a super low-hanging-fruit example.
Those drivers aren't Surface only but there are catches.

> So anyone wanting to make their code trivially loggable now has to implement StringConvertible by copy pasting String toString(){ return toDebugString(); } into every single class they are implementing?

If you actually want to output a debug representation, you’ll explicitly call toDebugString(). (And a debugger would call it by default.) This would also make the purpose explicit in the code. And you would’t accidentally output a random debug representation (like the default "@xxxxxxxx") as part of regular string concatenation/interpolation, like on a user-level message, or as a JSON value or whatever. This is why it would be wrong to have a toString() forward to toDebugString().

Currently, for most classes I have to add javadoc for the toString() method saying something like: “Returns a debug representation of this object. WARNING: The exact representation may change in future versions, do not rely on it.” For some of these classes a reliable non-debug string representation would conceivably make sense, but I chose not to have one because there is no immediate need. However, callers need to know which it is, and therefore the documentation is needed.

Conversely, whenever I want to use the toString() of a third-party class, I have to check what kind of output it generates, but unfortunately it’s often not documented. And if testing it (or looking at the source) seems to produce a stable value representation, one has no choice but to hope that it will remain stable, instead of that being part of the contract.

Furthermore, for classes with a value representation it often makes sense to have a different debug representation (for example, with safely escaped control characters or additional meta-data). In current Java, it’s safer to have those in a different, non-standard method than toString() (because users expect the latter to provide the value representation), but then there’s the inconvenience that the debug representation won’t be picked up by debuggers by default, due to the non-standard method.

This is all a symptom of the same method being used for different purposes. And a debug representation makes always sense (as evidenced by the default implementation), while a value representation only sometimes makes sense, and might be absent even when it would make sense. But you generally can’t tell from the method.

Having different methods would solve those issues. With a toDebugString() method, one wouldn’t have to document anything, because the javadoc I paraphrased above would already be contained in the Object class. And the toString() method would only be present for classes that do provide a defined value representation that makes sense on the business/domain level of the class.
I don't get it: the new models still need to be used somewhere, unless you're coding everything yourself, and that means they'll mostly get used in the updated ComfyUI nodes that work with the new checkpoints and LoRAs (and are available today).
Thanks for the clarification. I understand much better what you mean by "scientific generalization". I can't tell whether you're suggesting that LLMs are a dead end for modeling meaning or just that LLMs as estimating probability distributions is the wrong way to think about them?
This beamforming effect only works well when each sensor is getting a dramatic enough "different angle" on the signal that each one can use phase shifting to cancel out other noise, but with a laser there's not really any noise to cancel out (i mean you're just monitoring a vibrational spot on a window), and you also don't have a far enough "different angle" to shine from, if you're monitoring from one spot.

However having multiple lasers from multiple different locations might be able to create an improved signal if all signals are averaged, but it wouldn't really be due to the phase shifting that's used in beamforming.

Curious that DeepL translated "Gaf geen kamp" to "gave a camp", since "geen" means no/none. It seemed to totally ignore it or reverse it's meaning.

Regarding "droving" perhaps "herding" might be a more familiar term. And it might be more accurate; I suspect that long distance herding wasn't a common thing in the Netherlands.

This matches my experience but the one reason why I use Claude more than ChatGPT currently is that Claude is available.

I pay for both but only for ChatGPT I permanently exceed my limit and I have to wait four days. Who does that? I pay you for your setvice, so block me for an hour if you absolutely must, but multiple days, honestly - no.
The architecture of the model does place limits on how much computation can be performed per token generated, though. Combined with the window size, that's a hard bound on computational complexity that's significantly lower than a Turing machine – unless you do something clever with the program that drives the model.

The TV reality. It's pretty peaceful when everyone agrees, even when what they agree upon is false.
I've never heard anyone express concern about UN helicopters, but at least in Southern Humboldt, there was a huge fear about the state and federal government using helicopters to bust people for growing weed. My uncle had a camera in the kitchen that he or my cousins would grab and pretend to take pictures of low flying aircraft (it was illegal to fly too close and thus any evidence collected would be thrown out by the court). I wouldn't be surprised if less scrupulous people would do something with a deer rifle. PG&E still announces in Lost Coast Outpost when they're inspecting power lines.

I also heard that people at Trinity Pines were shooting at CalFire when they were helping with the fires 8 years ago. Hence the reason why it burned so bad.

For the most part, our station in life is something we constantly wage war against from the moment of birth. Coming from a very poor and abusive background, I was homeless by 16 and left with a choice of fully committing to boring technical work, or taking advantage of already being at rock bottom and surgically improving my skills over years until I've become as well-rounded as I would like. It's a lifelong journey, though.

I do wish you luck and I hope you do find time to accomplish some of your desires. You will definitely have to create time and space for it though, free time likely won't magically appear within your current routine.
I often hear people praise Claude as being better than chatGPT, but I’ve given both a shot and much prefer chatGPT.
