Even without a CLA, Redis was originally licensed BSD. Releasing code under a BSD license is making a promise that you are OK with people using your code for commercial purposes. If you as a developer express personal feelings of dissatisfaction that someone is doing with your gift what you gave them permission to do, in such a way that could be construed as reneging on your promise, then that would make you dishonorable and untrustworthy.
I am talking about the leading group, whatever that may be, why would you split only the United States by a certain dimension and compare it to the entirety of other populations?

If an insurance companies is paying CEO $10 million a year, as in this recent case, there is "fat in the system" ie money that could be directed to reducing insurance premiums in my opinion.
> if a process exists that can compute something, it must be modelable as a Turing machine

Yes.

> and its operation must be analyzable as a finite series of elementary instructions that are analogous to those of a Turing machine

Analyzable, sure. MWI is fine as an analytic tool in the same way e.g. virtual particles and holes are. Nothing here requires that any of these analytic tools are physically corresponded to.
A real-world market attached to a game would be the fastest way imaginable to suck all the fun out of a game.

I don't want to play games where 90% of the players are using the game to try and beat capitalism somehow. There are 100 reasons why this'd destroy gameplay.

* The majority of players would be concentrated on the highest value grind tasks.

* Scams would be rampant. They are already rampant in games without this mechanic. Now imagine how bad they'd be if your items had actual monetary value hooked up to them.

* Gang like behavior is pretty much guaranteed to emerge. So, it wouldn't be just one player grinding like crazy, but groups of players dedicated to making the game miserable for anyone grinding on their turf.

* It would encourage actual real-world problems/crime. Now instead of being able to meet up with people and talk about the game, you run the risk of being mugged or stalked for game currency.

Just a really terrible idea.

And these things I'm talking about aren't imaginary. There're already more than a few articles about games like EVE Online and WoW where the marketplace of those games has led to the problems I listed.

EVE's "Real life threats" policy didn't show up because it wasn't a problem [1]

And "migrants" are simply not highly educated in this situation, they come from the Middle-East, and Africa.

Sweden's problem with mass immigration isn't related to some Japanese dude who moved here to work with steel manufacturing.
I’m a big believer in learning tied to projects and goals, at least for the consumption that the author is describing. It usually feeds back into building, which feeds back into learning.

But more broadly, it comes down to where you draw the line and call content distraction, and what you do about digital distractions.

I think I am following your question but can you clarify if what you mean is if: I take a portion of the proceeds to send customers gifts, take them out to dinners, etc to ensure the relationship remains strong? If so, then not really. Usually these clients just want smooth problem free services. I am working with him on holiday gifting ideas but that's really the extent of it. I also incur some expenses such as marketing costs, software, etc but it is pretty nominal. In summary, clients just want the teams to show up, do a good job, not break anything, listen to special requests, execute those special requests, and rinse wash repeat.
Conjecture, but it may be to focus on the native born population as a better metric for education quality since they have (presumably) been a product of that system for their entire life. Contrast that to a 1st gen immigrant who a major amount of time in a different country's system; testing them after a short stint in the US tells us much less about the US educational system. It's harder for me to think of a reason why 2nd gen should be removed, unless the assumption is the educational attainment/integration of 1st gen parents heavily biases the results of their kids. I don't know if all that holds up under scrutiny, though.

Also, because demographics aren't distributed evenly geographically, I think there is probably a case that the education system is different for different races (to the extent that racial geographic distribution is different).
Without any offense to you, the creator of this app. It's obvious a lot of care went into it and you wanted to create a better product than what is out there. Even considering the mental impact such ranking could have.

That is exactly my point. Our parent commenter was disputing the fact that the broad stripe of “immigrant” populations are responsible for our reduced and over all disappointing scores. My comment is meant to insinuate that the overly broad (and thereby meaningless) redirect to a vaguely monolithic “immigrant” population (one invariably implied to “not yet be assimilated!”) is exactly that - a redirect from
the genuine problem group in this country (an unnervingly underperforming one), a group which is not comprised of immigrants.

Evidently “immigrants” is a popular term of convenience for all folks – left, right, and center.
Perhaps it's a bathtub curve, but dollars to donuts you'll have an easier time convincing a newbie to not do dangerous shit than someone more experienced.

Either way I think Sawstop is great. As a hobbyist I wish it were cheaper. Although to be fair a big part of the cost is that Sawstop doesn't sell low end saws — that's nothing to do with the safety tech.
Prediction: Human-equivalent neural networks by 2030 (2021)
I wonder how hard it is to fix that it doesn't nest? Clearly, the algorithm pulls out a multi-line piece of code out of a boxed cell. The #2dcond is a piece of multi-line syntax. Maybe it's one-liner fix in the code. Unless something like the box recognition logic is confused by nested box material.
The above comment seems unnecessarily vitriolic.

> free reign to antagonize newcomers

Nobody has "free reign to antagonize" anyone including newcomers. It's hard to come to a new large community and project with somewhat unusual norms, and established editors should try to do a better job helping people learn the ropes, but at the same time I have gone to look repeatedly when some newcomer complained about being antagonized (either complained here, or other forums, or on Wikipedia) and maybe half the time the newcomer making the complaint was being a total jerk to everyone but really didn't like being called out.

If you (the generic you reading this comment) want to put a bunch of volunteer effort into finding newcomers who are having a tough time and helping them out that would be a valuable contribution. On an all-volunteer project people do what they are interested and unfortunately intermediating on newcomers' behalf is usually not it (I do try to help when I can).

> in 2014, too, but it wasn't dominated by the problems [...]

To my recollection is has been continually dominated by similar kinds of issues, since close to the beginning. It was then, and still is now, often a frustrating slog when multiple editors disagree about something, especially if there's some kind of (typically unstated) ideological motivation involved, e.g. promoting one ethnic group or nation. There are various dispute resolution processes, which work more or less, mainly by attracting more eyeballs any time there is a stuck conflict, but trying to form consensus with a pseodonymous global group of volunteers is just an inherently hard problem.

The main differences between the first few years vs. today are that (1) many topics at least have some kind of article written about them (often still mediocre, especially parts from the early days that haven't seen much dedicated focused effort) which means that there's a bit more bias toward preserving what is already there (an understandable tendency in the face of a constant onslaught of vandalism and entropy), (2) people recently tend to demand a bit better sourcing for claims than was done up to about 2010, so there's sometimes a bit of a disconnect between the quality standard applied to existing material vs. newly added/changed material, and (3) there's a bit more focus than before on earning little gamified badges like stars or green + signs in the corners of articles.
He meant one that is physically based and interpretable, rather than a black box based on pattern matching.

But I'll take the accurate black box any day, at least for weather forecasting. Climate modelling is a totally different thing.
Yep.

I would go a bit further and say that Asians should be in their own group altogether and not compared to anyone else until the other groups are remediated. They are so far off the scale, especially on the high end, that I'm not sure comparisons help until we can get everyone up to, at least, their neighborhood.
Depending on where you live in Canada, get on Stallion Express or Chitchats Express, which will be cheaper than Canada Post. They’ll either get you better rates through Canada Post, or access to the 3rd-party couriers like Amazon uses (FleetOptics, UniUni, ICS & others).

According to the complaint, these PBMs, known as the Big Three, together administer about 80% of all prescriptions in the United States.

Rather ironic that the PM criticized that decision while praising the court for this latest intrusion.
There's an incredible amount of local journalism--especially outside of major cities--that was already incredibly poorly covered. There used to be a labor of love type newspaper in my town until the publisher got ill. At this point, there's basically very little way to get information on the various town meetings outside of major issues and mostly not even then. I'm not spending the time and effort to attend a lot of random board meetings.

You think that the average member of the public isn't aware that videos can be faked with AI, or non-AI special effects, and your source of data for this is "your own experience"? Really?

My family is mostly working class in an economically depressed part of the Virginia/West Virginia coal country, and every single one of them is aware of this. None of them work in tech, obviously. None have college degrees.

I maintain that the attitude driving this paternalistic, censorious attitude is arrogance and condescension.

A prime example of how broadly aware the public all over the world is of AI faked videos was the reaction in the Arab world to the October 7th videos posted by Hamas. A shocking (and depressing) percentage of Arabs, as well as non-Arab Muslims all over the world, believed the videos and pictures were fakes produced with AI. I don't remember the exact number, but the polling I saw in November showed it was over 50% who believed they were fakes in countries as disparate as Egypt and Indonesia.
Basically the same thing that happened with the rapist in June who kidnapped and raped two random middle schoolers in broad daylight. Prints & and DNA were in the system, he was living in an apartment NYC was paying for and people called into the tip line with his name. It wasn't NYPD, it was a guy working at a bodega who apprehended him 5 days later.
If only it could return the favor.
+1. A somewhat similar case that is close to my heart is when people with good intentions make bad decisions. A bad decision is bad, no matter the intentions. If you want to change the world, I think you need to be a “good person” and _also_ critically evaluate what you do

The two requirements are that your build not have it disabled, and that you execute `PRAGMA foreign_keys = ON;` when you open the database (every time you open the database).
> so hard, to the point it looked like she wasn’t going to be able proceed with her rotor license (before it all clicked)

Yeah, I think we were all convinced that we were going to wash out of flight school in the first few weeks. Hovering was not something that you could see yourself gradually getting better at, so it felt impossible right up until it wasn't. It really did just "click" one day. Almost two decades later, I still have a vivid memory of the very moment that I realized I had full control of the aircraft when picking it up from the ground.

When my buddy and I were telling an instructor pilot one day how we felt (like we'd never be able to hover), he wisely pointed out that the flight school syllabus had a certain number of hours for a reason. It had been refined over the past 50 years, so they knew exactly how many hours were needed, and if things "clicked" for us ahead of that schedule it would mean that time and money were being wasted.
I should also mention that folks will be desperate to make him take a plea deal, because a public trial will definitely have scores of health insurance horror stories.

Because the existence of these people means that we concentrate economic resources toward building yachts that might otherwise be concentrated toward growing food or building homes.

Rational economic actors who produce goods and/or services will tend to supply what there is the most economic demand for (what brings them the most profit). If half the population has almost none of the money, then their needs have little economic demand behind them. So then what is the economic incentive to supply them with the things they need?

In other words, producing a hundred-million-dollar yacht is a hundred million dollars (less profit margin) that could have been invested toward a more collective good, thus increasing the supply of those goods, thus reducing their scarcity, thus reducing their price.
A lot of religions can be interpreted in such a way as to essentially say "the entire real world is just a very complex simulation being played out by the Divine"; there there is no real world to know about, just thoughts in the Mind of God.
> You cannot conclude that USA has excellent educational system if it delivers the great outcomes for certain advantaged subgroups.

This is not what he did. He just explained to you that the outcomes for all those subgroups are basically better in the US than elsewhere.

Even that is a moot point though, because the aggregate US score is already perfectly comparable to e.g. EU level. Even if you cherry-pick EU nations for GDP/capita (Switzerland, Netherlands, Denmark), you can see that they are pretty much exactly on US level (with the EU leaning a bit more toward math).

This also tracks with anecdata I have from family (central europe) that did a year at a US highschool (east/west) and both described the math curriculum as "joke".

To reiterate: Describing the US education system as "bad" (=> compared to peer-nations) is just objectively wrong.

Show HN: Hyperbrowser – Scalable Browser Infrastructure for AI Apps
Hey HN!

Excited to share a project we've been working on called Hyperbrowser. It’s a tool that makes scaling headless browsers ridiculously easy. It allows you to spin up hundreds of browser sessions in secure, isolated environments, with sub-second launch times. We automatically solve captchas, use residential proxies and manage concurrent sessions so that you can focus on your own business.

The idea for Hyperbrowser came from our own struggles building AI apps and agents like sales tools, automations, and AI editors. Every project seemed to hit the same roadblock: interacting with the web. Whether we needed web data as input or web browsing as output, we faced constant challenges—getting blocked, setting up proxy services, solving captchas, and scaling everything in Kubernetes.

On top of that, we had to build custom functions and services to convert websites into LLM-friendly markdown and crawl entire sites for relevant data. Keeping all of this running became a full-time job!

To make this easy for everyone else we built Hyperbrowser. It packages everything we learned and built, with a nice frontend that gets rid of the boilerplate and lets you hit the ground running. Hyperbrowser works seamlessly with tools you already know, like Puppeteer, Playwright, or Selenium, while removing the hassle of infrastructure and scaling.

If this sounds interesting, we’d love for you to give it a spin! You can sign up and start playing around with a free plan. Would love to hear your thoughts, feedback, or ideas! Check it out here at hyperbrowser.ai.

If you have any questions at all feel free to reach out to me at akshay@hyperbrowser.ai! Ideally share the website you'd like to scrape or automate. I can provide a script for it or we can create a custom API endpoint!
It's still not as good as actually new data. The individual model may not overfit the existing data, but the whole system of researchers trying lots of models, choosing the best ones, trying different hyperparameters etc. easily can.
It's strange to split whites into those two categories since Jews represent a trivially small group, why not Italian/Greek and German/Scandinavian ancestry that is somewhat similar to East/South Asian split?

> However, these less well performing groups still perform better in US system than matched groups outside the US

If you pick random data points you can support with them any theory. Comparing white Americans (a random group of people defined by a subjective criteria, rather than by anything scientific) to a whole European country is random.

Now, speaking of the choice of subgroups. If you select best performing subgroups to see which country can support the best talent, why are you not looking at the results of international olympiads?

IPhO - China dominates the list of winners.
IMO - USA has some wins, but China won more.

The problem of this conversation is that "immigration" is treated as one single, amorphous thing.

What kind of immigrants are we talking about? What was their income, their skills, their ability to speak the local language, what jobs could they get once they arrived in the country? Answer all those questions, and depending on your answers we may find a completely integrated, successful migrant or someone who lives generally excluded from society. Skin color and religion may play a role sometimes, but they are typically far from being determinant.

For that matter, I am a dark skinned immigrant in the country I live in. I also speak the language fluently, am highly educated, and make around 3x the median local income. Of course, I never experienced racism. Change some of those social attributes, and I bet the outcome would be different.
