I'm not sure I want autonomous vehicles to work.

It would, inevitably, lead to more cars in cities. Probably faster cars. Both are the opposite of what we need; it isn't just about safety.
No, this has nothing to do with ontology vs epistemology. That's a philosophical problem. The problem here is that a measurement is a sample from a random distribution. A TM cannot emulate that. It can compute the distribution, but it cannot take a random sample from it. For that you need a random oracle (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Random_oracle).
Thank you very much for this clarification!
Which tells approximately nothing about their relative capabilities. The fallback system is the driver (who needs to be ready to take over immediately) and the range of conditions for autonomous operation is better than Level 1.

Similarly for temperatures. There's reason to expect the longitudinal ocean wind monitoring station on Mauna Kea (think that's the one?) will some time early next year cease to report measurements, rising every year as they have since mid-20th century.
I’m one of the people that did not renew BlueCruise and the reason is kind of weird

BlueCruise vehicles were updated with the most sophisticated driver attention system ive ever seen. It will complain in less time than it takes me to change a radio station.

Before that update, I was enjoying the automated driving a little bit too much, and using it to take liberties with my attention in the car. That was awesome as a user experience.

After the update, I am paying more attention to the road than I did when I was driving a manual. There is no benefit to being able to take my hands off the steering wheel. That’s a good thing for safety, but it means that “level 2.5” driving (or whatever) adds zero marginal utility.
Congrats, this is something I’ve wished existed. Looking forward to becoming a customer!
What's the value of the borrow fees they can take?
Thank you for the kind words. Yeah, a video and/or graphics are on my list for sure, I just keep procrastinating tackling that because it's not something I'm strong in, which is a bad excuse but it's the truth.

That's pretty much the kind of problem they're using here. The problem is that to verify the simulation, you need to run the simulation on the classic device, and that requires time that is exponential in the number of particles being simulated. They've verified that the classical and quantum simulations agree for n=1, 2, 3, ..., now here's a quantum simulation for n that would take 10^25 years to do classically.

Same here, except I’ve had it since ~2000 (mid-teenager). Anytime a suggested treatment makes it to insurance, they deny it because “it’s extremely uncommon for back problems of someone your age to be in the thoracic spine.” They’ll gladly pay for unnecessary surgeries on the lumbar, but refuse even many diagnostic attempts in the thoracic area.

The problem itself is a bunch of random weights. There is no clean structure to discover that explains it.
Who decides "what we need"?

I say "we" do - ie, if people want to buy autonomous cars, then that's what's going to happen.

Incidentally if there's a large number of autonomous cars available in a fluid and efficient market, that would probably mean fewer people need cars in total.

> that's the unfortunate thing about growing and becoming a massive encyclopedia that's more respected than it was in 2004

In the very few areas where I am well read or even an expert, the Wiki articles I read horrify me. I consider them wholly misleading and improper. As such, I do not read Wiki articles on anything subjective (history, people, etc) because such articles of this type I am in a position to judge, I judge very poorly indeed, so I have reason to think all articles of these types are no good, at all.

For some classes of articles, such as math or computer science concepts, I find all Wiki articles utterly hopeless - the explanations only make sense to someone who already understands.

I'm conscious also of the massive propaganda efforts being exerted by various entities on various pages, such as, for example, the Ukraine War, or the Russian Government.

This leaves the balance, articles on simple, fairly non-subjective and uncontrovertial subjects, and they seem okay.

It's not great, and when I really do need to know about something, I consult an actual, curated, non-mass-edited encyclopedia.

Also, many years ago, I used to edit/contribute, but that stopped, because it became increasingly difficult and unpleasant due to other editors, and in any event, anything you added sooner or later would be removed or edited away, one way or another.

Oh and then have the Foundation, doing it's voodoo-idiocy in the background, such as the amazing new editor which no one wants or likes.

I'm not super well versed but my understanding is that that's right, with your actual DHT levels being the third variable. There are other non-hormonal causes of hair loss, like alopecia areata, but they're much less common.

DHT damages the hair follicles that are sensitive to it, causing them to grow back thinner after each growth and shedding cycle (which is typically a few years). As a result most men don't have visible hair loss until years after puberty kicks in.

Neat idea - there's so many ideas for anyone to be able to get to that this is a great way to share with people who want to try to build a product instead of a project.

When I was training to run a leg of a marathon relay a few years ago, my resting heart rate dropped a lot. One time I mentioned my overnight HR of 38 to my wife, a doctor. Next thing you know, I’m in a different doctor’s office being fitted for a Holter monitor. Everything was fine. Turned out my heart was just in great shape.

The doc said that they’re more aware of low HRs now because so many people are wearing 24/7 heart monitors, aka smart watches. Numbers that use to be taken as signs of “holy crap, something bad’s happening” are sometimes more like “huh, guess the normal range is wider than we thought”.

But for anyone reading who has a fast or slow heart rate: let your doctor be the judge of that, OK? Lots of the time it is something wrong, and you don’t want to dawdle on that one.

I believe, that the general stance of the Republican Party is that they want religion in education. But at the same time, they are not against the science/math education per se. They just don't want to pay for it.

> Republicans have been pushing for austerity and privatization of the school system since basically forever. Today's students pay the price.

The US school systems are mostly locally-funded. And the education outcomes are going down even in affluent Democratic states, with plenty of school funding. I live in such a location.

Not necessarily; he might just mean that parents who did poorly in school are more likely to raise children who also do poorly in school. Some people and cultures value education, and some don't, and they tend to pass that on to their children.

I saw this myself growing up, as my extended family on my mother's side were white, rural people, who weren't educated and didn't value education at all. Luckily she kept me away from them most of the time and pushed me to do well in school and go to college; I was the first person in her family to finish college as a result. If I had spent all my time growing up with my cousins, that probably wouldn't have happened.

As for reproduction, many of those poorly-educated cousins went on to become teenage parents...

Wow. I’ve been dealing with this for a while and it never occurred to me that it may be correlated (or caused by) by my incessant hunt for information and media at all times. I’ve always thought that if I wasn’t learning, and staying up to date on the latest frameworks, I’m not growing.

I think the time-energy uncertainty relation limits their distance and it is very small, closer to a Planck length than any precision we can measure. They have to be close enough to annihilate within a specific time limit related to the energy of the particles (ΔE·Δt ≥ ℏ/2) and the higher energy the particles like a full proton, the less time they have.

Key word is "without". I'm an avid fiction reader myself from "The Malazan Book of the Fallen" to wuxia novels. Most times, I'm only engaging with the plot with no further reflection on meaning. But sometimes, I find myself doing some "what if" or going back on some ideas and interactions in the books. But that is not my default reading mode for novels. It is for non-fiction and technical books.
Of course it is. Scientifically the simulation “hypothesis” is actually the simulation idea and isn’t scientifically valid yet seems to be treated as such for some reason.

This is a huge sign that the case against Matt is a slam dunk. The writing in injunctions like this is indicative of the court's thinking based on the pleadings, and they have basically regurgitated the complaint while adding on more evidence from Matt being an ass on social media, which suggests that the judge has a strong preference.

Climate change is a matter of degree, and it will unfold over a long period of time. There is time to mitigate and adapt. It's just a matter of how much. Renewable energies are rapidly being adopted, battery storage and transmission are all improving. Nuclear is back on the table. We may still have a breakthrough in fusion. AI will help with better predictive models and eliminating waste.
Tesla can't self drive in any condition on any street. Hard to compare that to a level 4 company where the car can go hundreds of thousands of miles without disengagement. Being a owner FSD, its no where near being able to drive itself without supervision, it tries to run reds, misses people in cross walks and can't understand signs like "Do Not Enter".

So you are saying HFT will avoid your market order in this case, while HFT will provide better price when they are the sole counter party in separate liquidity pool? HFT will always maximize profit. To have multiple venues you are just paying HFT as middle man to transfer liquidity from one to another, where you can trade directly with each other if everyone is on one venue, e.g. one centralized limit order book. Transfering liquidity is not HFT's fault, but saying paying for order flow is better for retail is just disinformation. Without evenly discussing the function of HFT, you will get disinformation that demonize HFT as well, and common people won't listen to you later.

> The average American would understand if those two branches lived among us today

Shall I break the news or you find out yourself?.. ok, I will do it.

Those two branches do live among Americans. Afro-American people have the biggest genetic diversity in America and their genetic subgroups are so distinctive that they require separate testing in clinical studies. I bet you won’t be able to tell the difference between them from their appearance though. Now good luck redefining the concept of race with this knowledge.
I saw Bryan recently on a Magnus Midtbo episode on YouTube. In that they discussed that his body fat had been extremely low, and he had gone up to around 10% subsequently on medical advice, i.e. that his body fat had previously reduced to unhealthy levels. 10% is low, but it's not what he looks like in the photos on this article, and it should be sustainable long term with some effort. He says on his website under his current protocol that he eats 2,250 calories a day (10% deficit from RDA), which doesn't sound crazy to me. I mean, it's not what normal people do but he's not doing what normal people do by definition, and at least what he's eating doesn't seem out into crazy unhealthy territory to me.

He definitely came across as a little eccentric in the video, but very enthusiastic about the project, I found it pretty charming and would definitely find it pretty interesting to chat to him I think.

As they should be. Lots of American medical workers quit during and after the pandemic because the American people treated them so horribly, screaming at them that "it's just a flu", that it was a hoax, to take off their masks, to give them horse dewormer, etc. If this is how Americans treat their medical workers, they don't deserve to have proper staffing.

I feel like a Boltzmann brain knowing that it’s a Boltzmann brain is too good to be true.

Maybe it will take trillions of attempts over trillions of universe births and deaths. But you only need it to work the once.
I’ve built two AI based apps.
Earlier this year, I wanted clarity on some issues. I knew several of my books held keys to the answers I was seeking, but finding those felt impossible. I wanted an AI based tool I could use to talk to my books. I built https://www.asklibrary.ai to enable this, implementing tons of RAG tech like query fanout, query understanding and breakdown, multi step retrieval, reranking, etc., and I pull in dozens of pages of text for each answer.

Secondly I love Claude and also use TypingMind but missed the memory feature from ChatGPT. I made MemoryPlugin (https://www.memoryplugin.com) that adds long-term memory to ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, TypingMind, and LibreChat on desktop and mobile browsers. This got me really interested in AI memory in general, I’ve played around with fine tuning AI models with memories (results = some data learned, way more hallucinations).
