If you were not referring to extinct branches I don't know why you thought "they would likely represent two clusters" if they did not already in the clustering given.

I didn't say it was the best that we can do, merely that I don't think humans currently have the capacity to manage a project of that nature and scope effectively.

My alternate proposal would be for states to implement public healthcare on their own, which they can already do.
Why would this help Tesla more than Waymo?

Even supposing slanted regulatory rule making, Tesla’s autonomous capabilities are vastly inferior to Waymo. The rules can’t be that complicated, either you can drive a car autonomously on a given road or not.

FWIW I’m a Tesla owner who rides Waymos whenever they are available for a cab ride, and won’t turn on FSD despite a number of free trials
Half of these are a16z's next 10x idea. /s
I think there's some chance that Tesla's approach will work out for them, but I'm not optimistic. Getting self-driving software to "impressively good" happened pretty quickly, and even systems from 2016 would usually pass your "go there without touching the wheel or pedals" test. But from there to "as safe as a human" let alone "as safe as we require human-replacing machines to be" turns out to be quite a hard gap to cross.
Not to do the devil's advocate, but if you check the official website it shows that the developer actually owns the URL shortener, so it's the same "actor".

Then as I read in the privacy policy I found out that the email provider is a partner he is actively working to substitute with another first party software.

Edit:
Also as far as I know "what they are doing" about privacy is in his FAQ on the website, and if you need some more clarifications, as the website itself says, you can always send him an email.
Am just a hobbyist with some personal investment in AD, but the genetic basis for Alzheimer's seems like too strong a confounding factor to be looking for behavioral differences between ethnic/religious groups IMO.

None of that will do anything if we get into a runaway feedback loop where all the carbon is coming from natural sources. The change is speeding up.

The time to act was 60 years ago but Reagan and oil interests put profit over planet.

The last time to act was the last decade or so, as it appears we are too late and the us about to floor the gas pedal on oil instead of green tech.
This isn't my argument. This is the argument of many people who think the murder is justified, including the parent comment which implied this is a simple 1 person vs 10,000 people trolley problem.

I am pointing out how silly that line of thinking is.
And how much fasting?

Is intermittent enough? 12 hours? 18 hours?

Or do we need frequent (e.g. weekly or 2-3 times weekly) 24-hour fasting?
Disclaimer I work at Google.

Super cruise started out as high definition maps of US highways that GM made themselves. At the time (around 2018/19) they were using mobile eye’s technology/SOCs and integrating it into their vehicles. Cruise was operating as a completely separate unit and nothing was shared.

GM later had a PR release for UltraCruise which was supposedly developed in house and maybe that uses Cruise technology. However, AFAIK it was never released and is rumored to be shelved.
Yes, though I don't think you know how long the ad block will be. I've seen some podcast MP3 files that have the ad spots indicated in the ID3 tag, but that's not super useful because it only gives the original start points.
Right, so you agree. The problem is the floor, not the gap.

People like to point at a gap (in attainment or wealth or whatever) and pretend that this is all they really need to do, because the gap itself is evil. But that is nonsense, as demonstrated by my hypothetical. The gap itself is nothing and the context is everything.

So you can't just point out gaps. You need to articulate 1. what the people at the bottom are lacking 2. how closing the gap will ensure that the people at the bottom are better off afterwards (rather than just cutting down the people at the top).
The mechanism of baldness is related to the mechanism of growing a beard isn’t it? For me personally I started going bald in my mid-20s, and since then as I lose hair off the top of my head it seems to reappear on my face. So perhaps it’s just a virility/experience signal.

Maybe in the past the fact that someone had survived long enough to go bald or grow a big beard would signal that they had the skill or hardiness to avoid dying young, which might make them more attractive and likely to pass on the gene.
I don’t see why he’s getting all this hate. He tests a lot of products on the market and publishes the results for free. What’s to dislike?
Forget about the particles for a second. This is about fundamental quantum fields. The fields can randomly fluctuate from the vacuum state into a more ordered state where virtual particles are created.

The conjecture here is that a given volume of space must, at some point, randomly evolve into the quantum state you're interested. When the quantum fields align into the same state that a bunch of particles would represent, those particles appear out of the vacuum.

The trick that makes this work is that conservation laws don't apply on very small time scales. That's how virtual particles work after all. The energy can only be temporarily borrowed from the vacuum, unless you pay the energy cost to make that particle 'real' by destroying its virtual pair (see Hawking radiation).

You might imagine TV static, just random visual noise. There's no real reason the randomness can't line up to produce one single coherent frame before decohering. Just imagine that in 3 (or 11) dimensions.

I don't think an antiparticle pair is a strict requirement for virtual particles either. As long as energy is conserved on macro timescales, the universe doesn't really care what state the quantum fields are in.
It's possible that Tesla will have a massive jump in capability of their system, but currently it doesn't do any self-driving anywhere (e.g. you can't sit in the back seat).

> He points out that India’s cost for compute bandwidth is a fraction of the price in the U.S.

How is compute bandwidth measured here? Is this MIPs/GFLOPs or something else? What is the driver of lower costs, something like nearly-free electricity? Or is this a human labor thing?
As someone with Alzheimer's being quite prevalent on my dad's side [1], I pay attention to pretty much any HN thread on Alzheimer's. But most of them end up not being super conclusive/actionable.

But also ack that Alzheimer's research has been going on for decades, and progress is slow. Still, I look for glimmers of hope anytime I see one reach the front page.

If fasting has even a chance at reducing the risks, would love to know more about the duration/frequency that is needed to be beneficial.

[1] All four of my dad's aunts + grandmother ended up with it, but none of the males to my knowledge, and my dad died at 76 having never been diagnosed with it. The males, however, died relatively young, so it's unknown whether they would've ended up with it.

The experiment in San Francisco has been widely reported (in education circles) since this opinion piece in 2018: https://hechingerreport.org/opinion-how-one-city-got-math-ri...

It has had a nationwide impact already. It's not a hypothetical.

No, it isn't set up to mislead; no, the causes it's discussing aren't "minor" (they've blown up banks), no, the post doesn't write approvingly of US banking practices, referring to them at points as kafkaesque, not, the post doesn't skate over the "lie" that account closure notices aren't final (it spends a whole section on that), and it seems plain what parts of the system crypto companies are running aground against; they're the same parts that bodega cash transfer businesses have run into for decades.

Notably in both model animals (nematode worms and mice) they specifically fed them ketone esters, meaning that if the mechanism also works in humans (which seems likely) then this could be used as a drug if people don't want to commit to fasting or keto diets.
This is not true.

> Hard to compare that to a level 4 company where the car can go hundreds of thousands of miles without disengagement

This is nowhere close to being true. The latest numbers I could find for 2022 are 17,060 miles per disengagement[1] for Waymo. And even then the definition is not quite clear, because these are safety disengagements from what I can tell, and not disengagements for things like getting stuck because the road is closed or something else.

> So it's a surprise to me that anyone would believe that an old chapel in the south of France would necessarily be austere and plain

IIRC the project started in a very amateurish way. The area had been steadily declining for decades and at some point the locals created a bunch of non-profits to finance small projects like that one in the hope of making the place more attractive. All without much help from central authorities.

The chapel restoration involved students, amateur artists, etc. with no particular knowledge of the subject. The Church wasn't involved either at the start because the building had been abandoned for over a century and no one cared.

So the initial plan was to make it look like other chapels in the area: rustic, mineral, austere.

The project went sideways when they discovered those pigment traces all over the place. Regional museums and universities got involved, local government took notice, and the Church weighted in as well. At that point, it became obvious to anyone that, indeed, those places had been brightly painted from the start. But the general art direction had taken a turn for the austere a long time ago and there were a lot of people who liked things that way because… that's what they were used to.
From the article:

“Early human studies of ketogenic compounds have improved cognitive scores in patients with mild to moderate AD.”

While it requires behaviour changes (for the diet), this is something that's relatively easy to test & validate, and with a good sample size.

Edit: To elaborate -- getting on a keto diet results in production of ketone bodies; the keto diet is (IMO) hard to adhere to, but not impossible.

And if it is ketone bodies in the brain that are important, iirc, you can supplement the body with exogenous ketones (which the article alludes to, and the authors appear to be planning to test) which could potentially help.

If there's a measurable, significant effect with just consumption of exogenous ketones without even having to enter ketosis via diet- wow!

I think it's interesting/illustrative to imagine a world where we had perfect knowledge of the history of any infection: "Your initial infection began because you inhaled a droplet from James Smith on Tuesday at the grocery store, and he got it from..."

While that would obviously be incredible from a research perspective, I'm thinking more about how it would change the way we view cause, effect, and individual responsibilities which people have towards not-harming their neighbors.

Right now reckless people playing with infectious fire almost never pay for everything that gets burned down because of it, since it's so difficult to reconstruct what really happened.

This example is apples to oranges

Imagine you are a market maker: you offer 2 APIs. The first, you allow anyone to trade on. The second, you only allow traders who are doing less than 100k in volume per day (and don't allow users to have multiple accounts)

Which API are you able to offer tighter bid/ask spreads on? Why?

That's the point. Pfof is saying: the second API is so valuable to me that I'm willing to pay to obtain customers. In the worst case, there will always be the open-to-all API.

Your second example continues to show the lack of understanding. You're saying: without the market segmentation, somehow I have a wider bid ask. That's not right at all. The entity that gets bad spreads is going to be the entity that would take advantage of good spreads. That's the whole point. Maybe there's a point that vanguard ends up getting worse execution because it gets lumped in with the rest of the market, but the counterargument to that is essentially just volume: is the retail market big enough that if you didn't segment them onto a better spread that the overall market would end up with better pricing. The answer: maybe! In some things! Is that really what the people who hate pfof want though?

My understanding is that people who hate pfof are actually the ones benefiting the most from it. (ie because unsophisticated investors get better execution)

A buddy from Latin America who barely spoke English moves to the US. Specifically, he moves to Bushwick, Brooklyn, NYC. He goes, "They all say, 'You gotta learn English. This is America!' but I can't understand any of them - even the Puerto Ricans." First thought in my head was 'dude, you're learning English on hard mode'.
That's a fair remark. I think the biggest scale I've operated at was maybe a few million customers, consumer and business, for Flight Centre, which is a travel agent that serves pretty much the entire of Australia and overseas too. A few big banks too. None of them used K8s at the time and operated fine. Might have drank the kool aide by now, though.
All that’s true, but you can still identify them trivially. There are common physical traits that form a family resemblance.

You can also thank Curtis LeMay for maintaining the practice of 24x7 alert heavy bomber aircraft carrying live weapons many years after the point where they were no longer necessary, once long range ICBM tech had advanced to the point that a credible MAD deterrence force could be implemented by land based silo alert missiles and crews. By the late 1960s land based ICBMs were significantly improved from the early liquid fueled absurdities, and submarine based missiles were also advancing rapidly in range and reliability.

I appreciated reading the author's medical explanations of this guy's physical manifestations.

Hearing this guy receives tons of criticism seems wild to me. "Live forever or die trying" isn't exactly a rare posture. I'd wager it's about as common as "I'm going to die anyways so why bother."

An intersting read. So the general idea as I understand is that one can make signatures that pass or does not pass validation depending on the implementation while all implementations do protect against forgery.

In my opinion the correct approach here is the most liberal one for the Q, R points. One checks each point cofactor at parsing 8P=0 and then use unbatched equation for verification. This way implementations can be made group agnostic.

Having group agnostic implementations is important as it creates a proper separation of concerns between curve implementations and the code that uses them. For instance if we were to accept strict validation as the ground truth and best practice one would have enormously hard time specifying verifiers for zero knowledge proofs and would also double time and code for the implementers without any effect on soundness.
Yes, why don't we already have public healthcare per state?

It was the restoration of the whole chapel, which had been in ruins for a long time. Plastering, sculptures, murals, etc. they restored the whole thing.
